Starting point is 00:01:56 Well, Lewis isn't a dad either. It doesn't matter. I have to suffer through the dad stuff. He's also, Lewis in many ways acts like a dad who just doesn't have kids yet
Starting point is 00:02:05 it's true he's a kidless dad the way he talks he's very dad-ish I guess Lewis is a kind of that's not attempted is a father to all of the
Starting point is 00:02:11 Yoastcast members exactly he's a dad to everybody in this building thanks Duncan in a way I'm your dad you're my dad you're so dumb
Starting point is 00:02:19 unbelievable you guys kind of look like you could be father and son actually do I look that old that's a bit mean. Come on. You've got facial hair, so that is an automatic indicator.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Unless you're French-Canadian, you're eight years old. If you have facial hair, it does make you look like a man. It's not peach fuzzy. It's very grown in. I've done my first portage. See, now you've truly become a man. Do you know about portage ah see now you've truly become you've truly become a man portage

Starting point is 00:02:53 that you were going to be portaging as well I don't know much about triforce podcasts I know a lot of the fans seem to have
Starting point is 00:03:00 very small penises or gaping vaginas yeah unless we forget the vaginas some people have small vaginas as well which is awkward or gaping penises but they go well with the small penises or gaping vaginas yeah okay lest we forget the vagina some people have small vaginas as well which is awkward okay well they go well with the small penises i guess yeah i mean if you've got a tiny vagina and a tiny penis you could be happy perfect you have a gigantic penis
Starting point is 00:03:15 and a gaping vagina again happiness the other way doesn't mix yeah no not very many people say they have gigantic dicks yeah that's true that's not something that really ever comes up, actually. It's mostly just small ones. Yeah. Well, that's cool. You know. I guess we... Got like a kind of...
Starting point is 00:03:34 Yeah, there's an average. Like friendship, you know. If someone came up to you and said, I have a gigantic penis, you'd be like, what are you trying to do? Exactly. Like, are you coming on to me? You think you're better than me? Yeah. If you come up and say, I have a small penis, you're like fair play to the club sit with us my dad my dad's dick is bigger
Starting point is 00:03:50 than your dad's dick remember that one when you're a kid my dad could be your dad up what does your dad do he's a pro wrestler what's your dad do counting i never had to offer that because i would have had to fly my dad in so it's kind of depressing I would have been like my dad can be your dad now in about a week's time he's going to book a flight and everything he's going to kick your ass

Starting point is 00:04:26 The weather's been terrible. I haven't really been outside. Today I traveled, which is, well, period, I don't know. Traveling with kids is not the best. It's pretty tiring. Something you want to avoid at all costs. And especially when things go wrong, which everything went wrong today. It was crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:43 We turned up. We woke up. Okay, here's the story. Are you guys ready? I'm ready. Do you want to recline a bit? I'm reclining. Alright, hang on. Give me a sec. I've got to figure out what button is on this chair. I had a real bad day today, okay? There was
Starting point is 00:04:55 bad customer service, which is a huge thing for dads. You know, when the customer service is bad. Where was that? That's when you know it's going to be a bad day. Jersey Airport. At the airport. So, we get to the airport. We wake up at like six, okay? Because we had to get some stuff ready to leave the house at eight.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Okay, that's how long it takes to get out of your house when you have kids. Yep. Two hours. So we wake up at six. The whole day starts. It's fucking crazy. Everybody's screaming

Starting point is 00:10:13 There were no fucking car seats in a taxi. So we're just clutching kids in a backseat the whole time, worried that we're going to crash and stuff. And we finally made it here, and then everything's been all right since. But the kids were all jacked up on sugar. Yeah, we figured when we called you. We just gave them like fucking sugar all day, basically. And they didn't want to sleep at all.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Like my wife put a song on her phone. And they were like going crazy, like freaking chairs and stuff like that. They're like rock stars. What song was it? Smashing up the hotel room. I think if they could pick up the TV, they would do it. Or like radio the machine or something. And like chuck it out the window and stuff what song was it smashing up the hotel room I think if they could pick up the TV and chuck it out the window and stuff
Starting point is 00:10:48 and then now I'm here that's been my day so far so you left your wife just dealing with that she was like

Starting point is 00:11:03 jeez I just got a train here from Twickenham. It was no problem. Nice. Maybe in a couple of years, maybe I'll also be able to do that. You'll get there. Right now. Don't worry.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Trust me. It gets easier. It gets easier. I know the feeling. It's like when I bring donuts to the office. No, you don't. What? They have like little nibbles missing out of them from all the cockroaches that are infesting your...
Starting point is 00:11:25 You know what? I was waiting for someone to say, Oh, yeah, my cat was really... You know, my cat had a bad paw the other day. I actually had an awkward warning this morning. Was this involving a cat? No, it wasn't a cat. I got up and I was going to come to work.
Starting point is 00:11:42 I had to record Terraria at 11. It was quarter to come to work. I had to record Terraria at 11. It was quarter to 11 and I was like, probably should go now. Went down to the bike cage. My bike wasn't there. Oh, what? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Your bike got nicked today? No. I just forgot that I left it at the office. Oh, shit. What did you do? I got an Uber. That's the end of the story. So there you exactly the same yeah it's pretty much the same did you get all did you have 10 breakfast to get jacked up on sugar no i don't have any breakfast actually no oh wow shit didn't eat it didn't eat

I'm ready. I'm in the zone. I'm going to do this. Finally, I'm going to get my fucking life on track, man. I'm going to make three kids. Just imagine that morning with kids.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Whatever. It sounds a lot better yeah yeah yeah it's it doesn't get easier do you guys listen to like chamber music at home and stuff
Starting point is 00:12:52 chamber music fucking what do you mean chamber music what even is that you know like like French like renaissance manner music
Starting point is 00:13:00 like with a what do they call that instrument that's like a piano what oh shit a harpsich that's like a piano oh shit a harpsichord yeah like a harpsichord I was thinking more
Starting point is 00:13:09 like Fetch of the Opera kind of doomed sad music oh an organ yeah that would kind of you know you just like raise up your coffin
Starting point is 00:13:16 in the morning like you're ready for the day yeah that'd be great I had a school nativity play recently oh shit how did that go fucking awful oh no it was
Starting point is 00:13:26 the most boring thing no i went to watch it so i went to see my youngest school like honestly that they you know you've got to teach these little kids something you've got to keep them occupied so they spend a lot of time teaching them like letters and numbers and reading and writing all that stuff and then they're like the kids can only learn that for so much so you've got to think of something else to do that involves them moving around so when they start
Starting point is 00:13:48 school and reception they have like three or four plays a day like every time they just get up I think they just open the doors and just turf them out
Starting point is 00:13:55 into the playground and they run around for a bit and then you can teach them for half an hour and they play for a bit so around Christmas it's like nativity time
Starting point is 00:14:01 so they just practice practice practice they can learn the songs all their bits in the play or whatever and then they perform it and because there are three classes in my youngest daughter's school they had to perform it three times once for each of the classes what they didn't do like a they didn't combine well they couldn't because the hall isn't big enough
Starting point is 00:14:19 to fit for three classes so they had to do it three times so she was like sick of it and she was just like humming the song they couldn't do like a different one? Like each class do a different kind of play? All three classes, 90 kids. What's the one with Scrooge and stuff? They could have done like one class could have done The Ghost of Christmas Past. That's pretty dark for like a seven-year-old.
Starting point is 00:14:39 A whole class could have done The Ghost of Christmas Past. That's a pretty big story. It's a pretty big story. It's a pretty big story. You can just get lots of extras. It was like 20 minutes. They sing a couple of songs, job done. Brilliant. My eldest, it was at this big church around the corner from us.
Starting point is 00:14:55 All the classes in the school, the kids in her year, which is 90 kids, the kids in the year above, which is another 90 kids. It's 180 kids, and they've got to find a bit for them. So they're all dressed up and we had to make costumes at home. They have to wear the costumes in for dress rehearsal day. 90 kids.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Plus 90 kids. In a play. No, it's 180 kids. 180, 90 plus 90. Her year, the year above. In one play. In one play. In one play.
Starting point is 00:15:20 What? I'll tell you what. Only about 10 of the kids did shit. The rest of them just fucking sat there and when the songs were on they just rest of them just fucking sat there. And when the songs were on, they just sort of went... They could have done like... They were the choir. Yeah, they were the choir.
Starting point is 00:15:30 They should have done like a Cirque du Soleil or something. They did nothing. There was no acrobatics. So I went there to the church. That would have been good. And I'm sitting there. I'm like, I want to see my daughter in the play. So I'm sitting there waiting for her to come on and do her bit.
Starting point is 00:15:40 She's singing the song. She's, you know, she's making a go of it and everything. And the woman organizing it was one of those people who's like super enthusiastic like like an orchestra like a conductor or something yeah with like big bug eyes so she walks up and like the kids like this like everybody's smile and all the kids go like this and then she's like and it's like jesus we get it like you're really into it and it's like a big thing for you but come on and there's this woman next to me going woo the whole time
Starting point is 00:16:06 she was loving it just to rub in how much I hate it it's like the Scottish director who thinks she's Steven Spielberg and has to
Starting point is 00:16:14 just unbelievably make some sort of artsy fartsy bullshit you've got the super enthusiastic mums and dads who are filming
Starting point is 00:16:21 every single thing and the audience is full of people with video cameras with phones just the whole audience 180 kids who have to be in some fucking way that's like five of the blue trees and then man This is my character all the time. Do you see their dad in their life? Yeah
Starting point is 00:16:37 I'm like saying the fucking song. They didn't do that in the manger back then. It went on for an hour. An hour. So they were like, act one. I mean, the thing is, that doesn't sound that bad for me, but I realise how long that is for you. It was a long time. I mean, I've heard a lot of stories about six of you going to kids' birthday parties. How long were your kids in it for?
Starting point is 00:16:57 An hour is eternity. Out of the hour. No, no, no. Like, the whole hour. We're standing there in the church. All the parents everywhere. There's not enough seats for all the parents. So we're standing. I'm standing there in the church. All the parents everywhere. There's not enough seats for all the parents. So we're standing.
Starting point is 00:17:05 I'm standing there around the side and the kids are all sitting here. Half of them are like bored after 10 minutes. So were they all in it for the whole hour? Yeah, they just either sat there. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:17:13 So it's like 10 of the kids are doing the talking and the acting. The rest of the kids just sit there when it's a song. They sing. And a couple of the kids
Starting point is 00:17:20 have like special needs. So they're just bouncing around all over the place. And this one kid was obviously like a real handful. I thought you were going to say something else. He had three handlers. Three handlers standing around him like this.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Every time he jumped, they'd grab him and just restrain him because he's just going like this. He didn't handle all these people and all this singing. We had a kid like that at our school who had three handlers, and one day, I'm not even joking He was walking down the hallway and there's just this massive lump and he just like shit his pants But like a huge just this massive lump like sticking out of his ass And there are three adults with him helping him and he just shit his pants
Starting point is 00:17:58 I don't even know how that happens How were they going to stop him? How could they have stopped him? No, they're gone No, no Just like fisting it back into something I don't know gonna stop him who's gonna check how could they have stopped him no they're just like no no just like fisting it back into something
Starting point is 00:18:09 I don't know Jesus Christ fuck me everything's better than shitting in your pants he was distracting for sure he was distracting
Starting point is 00:18:16 but then the plate like they'd go scene five and I'm like oh my god you've gotta be kidding me and it's like King Herod turns up
Starting point is 00:18:22 he's like send find this baby Jesus for me and his soul just come up and they've got this little lines and everything and it's like King Herod turns up he's like find this baby Jesus for me and his soldiers come up and they've got this little lines and everything and it's going on and on and the kids forgetting their lines
Starting point is 00:18:30 and the teacher's like Tain you have to tell King Herod that you will try your best King Herod we will try our best I'm like Jesus ruined the story Jesus fucking Christ Timmy did you not remember
Starting point is 00:18:39 your lines you're a fucking idiot and then they like your kid's an idiot they're like scene 8 our they're like, scene eight, our final scene, and everybody was like, ah,
Starting point is 00:18:47 apart from some parents, like, like they're loving it. The mum next to me, she was loving it. And I couldn't handle it. And I mean, then at the end,
Starting point is 00:18:56 the vicar comes out, right? And he goes, I know we'd all like to get home for a nice cup of tea. And some mums are like, ah, and this guy's like,
Starting point is 00:19:04 but we do need to remember at this time of year, those people who don't have cups of tea. And it was like a big sort of guilt trip. And I'm like, Jesus, we still need to remember. That's when the depressing phantom
Starting point is 00:19:16 in the opera music starts playing. I get it, I get it. Jesus never had a cup of tea. Yeah, exactly. And what would he have done if he had a cup of tea? He had frankincense and myrrh. Can't make tea. But never tea. Can't make tea. And what would he have done if he had a cup of tea? He had frankincense and myrrh. Can't make tea.
Starting point is 00:19:25 But he never tea. Can't make tea. And in honour of Bash. He had high-grade Afghan hash. He did. Did he? That's what myrrh is, isn't it? I assume so.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Yeah. If somebody said to you, hey, dude, I've got a couple of keys of frankincense. Yo, you got any telly? You got any myrrh? So, listen up. Did you guys ever do a school play and did you ever
Starting point is 00:19:46 what were you in the nativity oh man I did several I was the several let our guest let's let our guest yeah I'm the guest here

Starting point is 00:20:16 Did you have to do an accent? Because I mean, Gigi. No, I don't think so. Did you have to sing it's a small world the whole time? I think it was just because I was blonde. So I looked vaguely Swedish when I was a kid. I was blonder when I was a kid. small world i think it was just because i was blonde ah uh so i looked like when i was a kid i was blonder when i was a kid i'm a bit redder now but you know i was blonder and i was sweet but then um we used to do these like uh yearly pantos and uh i was the villain on one of them and i had to back comb my hair so it was like a big like crazy crazy bush and i was like
Starting point is 00:20:46 the the bad guy and then i also was uh reverend green in our um in our in our cludo play we never got that fan i did a play when i was in nursery school, and I played a cow who was like one of the extras. Like, I didn't get Jesus. I didn't get like Mary or anything like that. No, I had to play a cow. A cow? I had no lines whatsoever, and my tail was a brown sock. And it was pretty bad.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Pretty bad. You got one, P-Flex? Yeah, I was in an Alan Akeborn play. This is when I was in sixth form. Holy shit. I have no idea who that is. What is that? Alan Akeborn's an English playwright.
Starting point is 00:21:30 I was thinking of younger, but carry on. No, no, no. So I was like 16 or 17. Oh, shit. Well, you're not a kid then. Well, it was terrifying. It was like hundreds of people, and we'd rehearsed our lines for weeks.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Because I was doing theatre studies A-level, so we had to do a proper play. yeah proper degree and i played a level uh a man and his wife go to see a woman and i can't remember what the i think the play is called confusions or something like that nice and we had we had to go and see her for some kind of counseling it was kind of weird and then the other one we were all in a park sort of benches series of benches and we'd sit on a bench and talk to the person
Starting point is 00:22:08 next to us and they'd get up and talk to the next person it was like a series of vignettes I guess and I played a guy who I was wearing like

Starting point is 00:32:45 you were meant to bring in a hobby that you were doing and display it in the hall and people would come in for the day and sort of go around and look at your hobbies and the teachers go around and grade them so i just used to put my fucking warhammer figures up there or whatever and they were poorly painted but they were like yeah there's my whatever. What army did you have? I was Space Marines. Oh, boring. So 5K. I just put all my shitty Space Marines up. I was like, eh, there it is. They weren't even very well painted.
Starting point is 00:33:11 It was just shit. But it was like, you had to do something. Were they Ultramarines? Punk. There you go. Just blue. No, it was just regular. I painted them all green and put flock on one of their shoulder pads.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Dark angels. I don't know. Did you guys do like those science fairs? Did you ever have science fairs? We never had science fairs in my school. That's not a thing we did in the UK, no. I think that's an American thing. My friend Aaron Dwyer. You didn't have a science fair.
Starting point is 00:33:36 But that was the thing, Aaron Dwyer, who was the kid in our year who was, I now realise, deeply autistic, like seriously autistic, but he was never diagnosed. It was just like... Back then, that was was never diagnosed right it was just like no because back then that was not he was just a bit weird yeah yeah that's it she's a weird kid so he would turn up every year he was massively into astronomy loved his astronomy and he would have this amazing little diorama of all the planets and a tape recording and you were meant
Starting point is 00:33:59 to go up and press play on the tape and it was like an hour long lecture from him about the planets okay and of course what we would do and I deeply regret this is record over this sex sound and we would just go
Starting point is 00:34:15 I'm a spaz I'm Eric Dweyer and I'm a massive spaz oh shit you should have just done a lot of grunting
Starting point is 00:34:23 and then rewind it and leave that so people can press play and just say I'm a massive spaz, I'm Aaron Dwyer, I'm a massive spaz. Oh my god. I cannot believe that. That's fucking bad man. That is awful. It was terrible.
Starting point is 00:34:35 You are the fucking worst. It wasn't just me! He had it coming to him. Alright, much like Hitler. His whole team of people. His whole team of guys. Oh my god. It was really original.
Starting point is 00:34:43 How far comedy as well. Oh that's proper bullying. Well we were kids. It was really original. much like Hitler his whole team a bunch of guys his whole team of guys oh my god it was really original comedy as well oh that's proper bullying well we were kids it was a boys school everybody got bullied
Starting point is 00:34:51 that was the way it was holy shit that's pretty good though we used to back before like you know you know nowadays like at school
Starting point is 00:34:58 in a computer lab everything's fucking firewalled to shit you can't go to certain sites and stuff back before that was like a thing. We had a computer lab.
Starting point is 00:35:06 It was all these like old ass Macs and stuff. And it had internet access. And we had like this thing at school. It was like, it was like this community portal and you signed up and you, it was like Facebook. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:17 But like fucking years before Facebook and it was total dog shit and nobody used it. But so we'd go into the computer labs. We'd have, we had a whole afternoon of Photoshop class. This is when Photoshop first came out. So my whole afternoon was Photoshop.
Starting point is 00:35:32 And you had to do all these shit where you had to clip out a flower and superimpose it on something and stuff. So we'd finish up all that shit and then we'd go around to all the computers and we'd go to like gay.com or like we'd find like like goatsy or like lemon party and we just like on all the computers we put it up on screen and then switch off the monitor so the next class would come in and like you'd hear
Starting point is 00:35:56 them come out at the end of the class and be like oh shit fuck there was some girl pooping into a guy's mouth we're just like holy shit like you ah but you had to see that to put it up in the first place yeah but if it's your joke it doesn't fucking affect you you get really desensitized quickly you see a lot of that stuff
Starting point is 00:36:11 but for the greater good right so that it's up on all the screens the computer lab the worst thing we ever did was we
Starting point is 00:36:17 some people got in trouble because like the teacher would come by and be like what the fuck are you looking at it wasn't me we'd like leave it on
Starting point is 00:36:24 so it's like we learned how to overclock the school PCs and we used to just put them up to like the max and then they would just fucking explode they would just melt down we must have killed
Starting point is 00:36:41 like 4 or 5 PCs there's a line when you're a kid when you're a teenager you do some horrible stuff we must have killed like four or five PCs there's a line oh my when you're a kid when you're a teenager you do some
Starting point is 00:36:49 horrible stuff I remember we went to a house party and it's one of these teenagers house parties where
Starting point is 00:36:54 they're kind of just expecting bad stuff to happen and so they had a photocopier and someone
Starting point is 00:37:01 took a load of photocopies of their ass and sack they had a photocopier in their house yeah and someone took a load of like photocopies of their ass and and sack they had a photocopier in their house yeah yeah and someone took a load of photocopies of it they were like just stuck everywhere and then like people just oh man it was like people made ass prints on the windows and stuff and so like it was almost like stuff like you clean up after the house party and you're like hey man i've cleared everything up and then was that there's like, you clean up after the house party, and you're like, hey, man, I've cleared everything up. And then one day, there's like a foggy day.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Was that the giveaway? It was like, you cleaned up everything. Everything was pristine. You couldn't tell that there was a house party. But then there was ass prints. There was like ass prints. That's right. Hang on a second.
Starting point is 00:37:38 These ass prints weren't here before we left. And then they start noticing, like, that ceiling tile's cracked. Have you been having a house party, you son of a bitch? Exactly son of a bitch exactly yeah yeah so they were just these secretive like you'd like it was it would be a hot day and the windows would fog up and there would be like an ass print just coming out of the window and you realize who's been putting their bare ass on this window it would be that yeah oh it was horrible geez just that's not that bad though i mean at least he didn't overclock a bunch of like
Starting point is 00:38:06 expensive equipment for everybody. I didn't go to many parties when I was a kid, like house parties. No? Like I'd be invited, but.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Did you guys, is house parties like a big thing in the UK? It was in North America. I didn't have a car. I didn't have a car and no way of getting here and there. Well,
Starting point is 00:38:21 I lived in a little village, so the only way to have a party was to have a house party. There wasn't any like bars or anything like my friend my friend ben one time he was having a party his house and uh one of the girls there called up and she was like are you coming to the party i was like uh i don't have any way to get there she's like oh you could get a cab over and i was like shit like i was like i had enough money to get a cab probably and then we'd sort something out when it came to getting back who cares like i'm at a party i don't care she said because ben's sister really likes you oh and i was like really and i said which which
Starting point is 00:38:54 sister uh oh wait you mean i can't remember her name and i realized he had one sister who was quite a bit younger and when it was like just a little bit younger than me i was like if it's the one that's just a little bit younger than me then i was like, if it's the one that's just a little bit younger than me, then I'll probably go to the party. Cool, but if it's a seven-year-old, sorry, I'm out. I'm not fucking interested. The one that was like a couple of years younger than me, I was like, well, yeah, it's okay. I said, wait a minute, doesn't she have like really bad eczema?
Starting point is 00:39:15 And he was like, yeah, she does. I was like, oh, I'm not going to go. Oh, no. I mean, I feel bad because it wasn't that bad. But when you're a kid, it feels like, oh, she's got a bit of eczema on her legs. That's a no. On her legs? Yeah, even on her legs.

Starting point is 00:48:21 I was at a... What was I at? I was at a creepy village hall party in my local village with all the mums and dads and uncles and aunties. It was very... That's no good. Sounds pretty creepy. Very shit.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Yeah, I really... Duncan? It's a depressing name. I was like, what? I was like 13? Yeah. I was playing Pokemon. I had some fireworks from Lidl's that I'd got.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Oh, yeah. Lidl was here in'd got oh yeah Lidl was here in 2000 no Lidl was still around no no they just arrived because when I was university in 1999 Lidl's fireworks are still
Starting point is 00:48:52 the best they're super cheap and they're fun and you should play with them do not this is what I used to do when I was a kid I used to play with fireworks
Starting point is 00:49:01 a lot and we yeah we let some fireworks off I think we got like a... What we do is we get all the little fireworks from a box. We gaffitate them all together. We twist their wicks together. Like the whole lot and just see what happens.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Village life. Yeah. In a nutshell. That is village life. I'm sure I did that 20 times. I bet the whole town was there as well. No, no. It's just me and a few mates.
Starting point is 00:49:24 That's the whole village. Yeah, my family. Village. I can't imagine going up to the well. No, no, it was just me and a few mates. That's the whole village. Yeah, my family. Village, I can't imagine going to a village. We knew a guy like that. He put, I was like, lighter fluid or something down one of those spinny slides and lit it on fire. Yeah. Because he thought that planes would be able to see, like, the spiral of fire. What?
Starting point is 00:49:40 And we were just like, what the fuck, man? Like, why would you? And he just reeked of, like, fucking gas and stuff, like, all the time. It was just fucking weird, man. Like, I don't know. I mean, he's all right, but. Shit. I don't think any planes would have seen that.
Starting point is 00:49:56 And there's just this big skid mark on a kid's slide, like, forever after that, too. Like, you go to the park and go, oh, yeah, remember time? Eric fucking burnt the slide thinking that a plane would see it. Oh, it's like a plastic slide. Yeah. Yeah. It's like one of those like red, like it properly burn it.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Yeah. It's a local pyromaniac. Shit. Yeah. We had plenty of those. One of my friends ordered a bunch of industrial fireworks one time and just industrial fireworks. Why is industrial fireworks?
Starting point is 00:50:24 They're like the ones they use in London. Yeah, business purposes. They're like a keg of beer. You know, they're like a gigantic barrel and you sort of just put it in your garden, which is, you know, not very big anyway. And you light it and you think, oh, this will be fine.
Starting point is 00:50:39 And then as soon as it starts going off, you run inside. It sort of sets your entire back garden on fire. I mean, in New York City, I don't know about the rest of the state, but fireworks were, when I was a kid, illegal. In New York? In New York, yeah. You couldn't buy them.
Starting point is 00:50:58 In general, Americans have bigger laws on fireworks. Fireworks are generally a lot more restricted. But when I was a kid kid this was in the 80s fireworks in New York City I don't know if this is still the case New Yorkers were illegal. So we got them
Starting point is 00:51:10 from the Russians who lived across the road from us. Oh my god. So there was a Russian family the Bartoshes and they would go Go on Lewis
Starting point is 00:51:17 I know you're itching to do your accent. You pretend. The Bartosh. Do a role play. Hello period. Hello Mr. Bartosh. I have some things. Hello, Pirio. Hello, Mr. Bartosz. I have some things you might be
Starting point is 00:51:27 interested in. I have heard it is a celebration of New Year. I've acquired some objects you may have be like to use on the celebration

Starting point is 00:52:20 real good prize hey what are you going to throw in the driveway so yeah that was who brought
Starting point is 00:52:28 them and he came around to our house and he just had a
Starting point is 00:52:30 briefcase he just looked at us all put the briefcase down and he
Starting point is 00:52:33 was like nodded clunk clunk and opened it up it was just like a big red button
Starting point is 00:52:38 the whole house goes up but he had this thing in there called a block
Starting point is 00:52:43 buster and it was like a stick of dynamite, basically. And when he set it off, the whole block shook. It was a bomb. It was a bomb. It was a bomb. So we had all these files. It's a bomb.
Starting point is 00:52:55 It's a bomb. What's this one? It's a bomb. It's a bomb. It's an actual bomb. It's an actual bomb. It's an actual bomb. This is a natural glycerine.
Starting point is 00:53:02 When all of USSR Russia have many excess bombs. It's also really active, little people. It's okay. It's small in any way. So we set off these fireworks and it was mad because I realise now looking back, my parents and the Bartoshes were fucking hammered. Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:53:19 So I was just thinking, wow, mum and dad are acting really funny. But they were just drunk. So they set off these fireworks and they set off a rocket at one end of the drive drive we had a long drive with a run on the along the back of all the houses in our row and we were the only ones in a row had fireworks because everyone's you know it's hard to get so he set his firework off this rocket and it was meant to go up in the air and it the bottle was in tipped over and it shot down the alleyway and it was chasing after mrs bartosz she was running down like ahhhh she was chasing down
Starting point is 00:53:45 there and then this is weird next to where we grew up there was a Jewish school yeah okay and for some reason

Starting point is 00:54:09 shaking and the whole house was like this. We know there were fireworks but what the fuck was that? Did there have been an accident? It's only a blockbuster. It's just a blockbuster. Only one blockbuster. It's just a little bit of
