Starting point is 00:00:00 pickaxe mailbag it's the mailbag that's right we're away this week so it's time for some questions we recorded in advance you're away this week. Yeah, you're away. Me and Flax are both just going to be sitting around twiddling our thumbs while you're gone. Maybe we should get a guest in. Where the hell are you going? If you don't mind me asking. Yeah, where the hell do you think you're going?
Starting point is 00:00:34 I'm going on holiday to the Canary Islands. Oh, they're very nice. It's going to be the rainy season. With O's. By the way, it's a joke. It never rains in the Canary Islands. Sorry, Kerry. Also, the four of us are going, Oze, her man, and her mother, lady.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Why are you there? And you. No offense. Are you as old as her mother? Well, I was going anyway. I always try and go away somewhere for a week before Jingle Jam. Oh, yeah. Usually with someone.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Right. But sometimes on my own. And in this case, I was just going anyway. So, I was like, oh, damn, I'll just stay near you. You just invited yourself to their holiday. Yeah, basically. You just tacked on. I kind of elbowed my way in.
Starting point is 00:01:22 It'll be fine. It's fun. It's nice when there's more people to hang out with. Nice to have an option. Anyway, let's get on with some letters. Some mailbag. Some baggery. Yeah, I'm a bit worried.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Bag me up. I'm always anxious about how much apologies I'm going to have to make. No, no. That's fine. You won't have to make any. Here's an email from Zappy Zappy. Question for Lewis. A few weeks ago, some friends and I were going out for drinks in Bristol,
Starting point is 00:01:48 and we were wondering where we should go. We came across a place called Loose Cannon Cocktail Bar. Oh, yeah. We decided to have a look at photos of the menu. We saw a drink called Yognaut's Dream. Yeah. And we knew we had to go and try it out. Unfortunately, they no longer serve the drink.
Starting point is 00:02:02 My question is, was this a collaboration with the cocktail bar or their own creation? If it was a collaboration or made for you, you should get them to make it out. Unfortunately, they no longer serve the drink. My question is, was this a collaboration with the cocktail bar or their own creation? If it was a collaboration or made for you, you should get them to make it again. So the Yognor's dream is Ford's gin, of course, Brio-Tet creme de mer liqueur, citric solution, homemade steel tonic and amaretto foam. Nine pounds. Were you involved in the creation of this? was not personally however the guys at loose cannon have long been friends they used to do our um drinks at the jingle jam during the cocktail little bar yeah oh that was where some barmen would come down and um do drinks for us i remember they were super super nice guys i'm'm honestly amazed that their independent cocktail bar is still going. It survived COVID.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Yeah, it's hard to keep a bar in a slightly, what I imagine is a tricky location. It is. Let me have a look. So it's down by the aquarium. That is tricky. But that's also, when we were there for that screening, Lewis, I felt like this area was actually, there were quite a few pubs and bars and people going out around there. It felt a bit like the sort of thing you'd see, you know, it was like a regenerated area, it felt like, where they had like new buildings and newly laid pavements and things. That's what it felt like to me.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Yeah, I think it's like, it's nice, but not well trodden, I don't think, like particularly. But it goes up and down. I think sometimes it's like fucking death zone there but not well trodden i don't think like particularly but it goes up and down i think sometimes it's like fucking death zone there and other place other times it's one of these places i think everywhere every city has them like you know what you're sort of every it normally seems like the shops change hands every year because everyone thinks it'll work but then there's just no traffic but yeah loose cannon i go in there sometimes it's never got that much foot traffic and i respect the guys and i like it so yeah shout out to them there you go um maybe i'll get in contact see if they can do the jingle jam oh get him in this year get him in oh by the way
Starting point is 00:03:54 i shout out to harry clough for sending another bottle of champers for the poker for the jingle jam this year he messaged me on instagram and said would it be okay and i was like yes he sent like a double magnum of some laurel perignon very nice very nice just just seen the bubbly the tweet so thank you yeah i posted on i posted on instagram about it um so yeah we got we haven't drunk the last one from last year but rams is going to open it during the night one of jingle jam wow what do you mean because well rams won the bottle of bollinger last year yes but he I see. Yes, he did. But he didn't open it at the time, so we're going to open it on the night one of... Nice. That's nice. During the Jingle Cat stream.
Starting point is 00:04:31 All right. We've got a few fun things to do during Jingle Cat, so I think that'll be one of them. Cracking open the old double magnum F1 style, spray it over everyone. God damn. Don't spray it. Just drink it. It's a waste. Here's an email.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Just spray a little. Here's an email. A little foam. Titled, Perspective as a Bisexual Woman bisexual woman in the triforce mailbag special 22 the idiom tall dark and handsome came up and period mentioned that he didn't think women found blonde men as famously attractive in general it got me thinking as a bisexual woman i do find blonde haired women incredibly attractive but also like a ton of darker haired women women. However, I've rarely found myself attracted to a light-haired guy. I also like long hair on women, but prefer most men tall with short hair or shaved heads and facial hair. Probably a stupid
Starting point is 00:05:13 assumption, but for me it gives the impression of competence, assertiveness, strength, and a hint of danger. But if I were to date a woman, I want a sweet, sexy, feminine woman, and any hair fella could do it for me there. I'm not expecting my girlfriend to jump into action in the presence of a danger or a threat could it be media's influence on society probably but that's what i like strange stuff that's interesting that is interesting i i i don't know if if blonde men are seen as somehow weaker and perhaps blonde hair is associated with being feminine. And that might be why quite often, I would say, it tends to be men with dark hair who are seen as sex symbols. Brad Pitt, I guess, is one of the few light-haired men that is a supreme sex symbol. And I guess Leonardo DiCaprio.
Starting point is 00:05:56 But tons of men with dark hair seem to be seen as these sex symbol types. Your thoughts, gents? Well, as a man with dark hair myself, I can tell you... And a dangerous one as well. Very dangerous. Very dangerous. I can tell you that it's a struggle to leave the house and
Starting point is 00:06:15 use public transportation stuff because the women are flinging themselves on me, left, right, and centre. I need riot gear out there. It's insane. Not to mention the threats you have to uh see off at the drop of a hat that's right yeah yes constant right this assassin's constantly hunting you yes yes that's also a big concern for me um do you do you ooze competency those sips do you think you like i got a woman would look at you it doesn't trickle or it
Starting point is 00:06:45 gushes out i'm a gusher seeping positively seeping with confidence the dam is bursting i could i could well hopefully not you know well no again like hopefully your handyman skills will keep that damn well maintained hopefully yeah it's weird that we say oozing confidence because the only time you really use oozing in another term is like- It's to describe like a- A wound. A wound. Something oozing out of a wound or something, a slime oozing along the ground.
Starting point is 00:07:14 But why is it he oozes confidence? Why are we using ooze, which is never used as- You never describe someone as oozing something else. Yeah. I guess really- They say brimming with confidence sometimes as well- Brimming is another thing, yeah. Which I think sounds better because
Starting point is 00:07:25 you can imagine uh you know like a popcorn maker just like getting ready to blow the top off or whatever yeah or a cup of coffee brim for or if you over boil a pot for pasta and the water starts spilling over you know just so much well no way that's brimming that is i wouldn't say the pasta was brimming darling the pasta's brimming well no you wouldn't you'd be like holy fuck there's boiling water pouring out or you know you would i don't i just don't think it's used in any other there'd be more urgency to it you wouldn't be you wouldn't be um you know smoking smoking a Shangri-La and saying, darling, it appears that the pasta's brimming. What's a Shangri-La? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Oh, I see. I don't know. It's like a Jamaican kush. This is from Juiced. Juiced or used. Hello, gents. You are familiar with the French toast, I assume. The Dutch word for French toast is rentletiefelius.
Starting point is 00:08:26 That's my attempt at pronouncing it. Sorry, have we just got into clown mode? Did you say Wenteltiefel? Wenteltiefelius. When translated literally, Wenteltiefelius becomes Revolve, bitches. Which is interesting. That's an interesting email. Very short email about a Dutch
Starting point is 00:08:42 word. That's it. Thank you, Jason. I appreciate those kind of emails. Wenteltiefel you. Appreciate those went to T fish went Nice. I've a lot of emails about dates A lot of emails about dates. This is a titled STI date scare Was on a fourth date with a guy and this was the point we were gonna fully hook up She means have sex we fooled around a bit on previous dates But didn't go all the way because he didn't have a condom and I'm not on birth control Right go to his bedroom and he gets on the bed and I just fully undress right there.
Starting point is 00:09:08 I feel dirty already listening to this story. He says something like, oh, we're getting naked. We went from nice French toasted Dutch to like the CD STD story. We're getting around to it. He says something like, oh, we're getting naked already. To which I reply, I'm effective like that. And maybe it's a language thing, but I meant it like i am efficient i'm not wasting time i maybe could have said it another way because what he heard was i am infected like that oh my god and he freaked out and then they got down to business
Starting point is 00:09:34 anyway but she's still haunted by it but uh i am infected like that i am infected like that nice nice this is one for sips uh Read. So it turned out fine. We really move on from these fast. I'm like a whiplash. I'm getting Triforce whiplash. I'm still processing the Winkle TV. Yeah, but I don't want you to dawdle on these throwaway emails. They're just entertaining.
Starting point is 00:09:57 It's like an amuse-bouche before we get to the longer ones. This is Sips' poo smear safety strategy. Oh, for fuck's sake. Right. Oh, hang on, I need to breathe. Last podcast, Sips made a point about how crazy a person must be to smear themselves in poo regarding the prison stories. Yes. However,
Starting point is 00:10:16 a very past podcast, you all spoke about defence strategy in a home invasion. Right. Sips said his strategy was to confuse and creep out the intruder. Thus, he went on to explain he would wait in a dark corner, cover himself in shit, and when revealed, would say the phrase, I've been expecting
Starting point is 00:10:32 you. Very dangerous. So, there you go. Well, there you go. I don't remember saying it. But that was like a fictional kind of situation. know situation a situation right you know you can get loose and free with it that that's not a realistic situation in my
Starting point is 00:10:52 no eyes so i you know i probably you're telling me that that the advice from the official sort of you know police is not to just cover yourself in shit and i don't think that's ever no i don't think you want to do that no i don't think that's ever come out. No, I don't think you want to do that. No, I don't think that. There's no self-defense thing where they suggest. Right, step one, you got an intruder in the house. You want to get your dookie out. Really rub it on your chest. We suggest you
Starting point is 00:11:15 keep a Tupperware of your own poo in the fridge. Always keep a spare. My daily carry involves a gun and a tub of shit. Just in case. Do you want another one? Because this one is titled Triforce. Help my Willie.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Yes. Move on from that one. Yes. It's one that we need to move on from. This is a, this is guy asking for help with his Willie. Uh, this is an interesting problem.
Starting point is 00:11:39 I feel like I'm the best person to sort this one out. Well, I certainly hope so. Hey guys, long time American listener here. Just wanted to hop on the dating topic that's taken over the podcast much like lewis i've also been on the grind this year going on more hinge dates than i have in the rest of my life as someone who has some real social anxiety and gets boners when a gust of wind passes through right i really struggled to help myself into even giving the girl a hug because of the steel rod
Starting point is 00:12:03 that materializes in my pants. Oh, wow. That could be a big icebreaker. It's quite embarrassing. Well, if he needs to break some ice, you could use an erect penis. She could be like, hello, sailor. And you'd be like, yeah, I know. He's standing at attention already. He'd be great in like the North Pole, you know, with the girl force winds, gives him
Starting point is 00:12:22 the boner and then the icebreaker. Get him on the front of one of those. Tie himer and then the the icebreaker ice piercer that's no piece go he says here but apparently girls can see it as a huge compliment or be completely disgusted which is fair it depends on tyler in the situation yeah i think i suppose um i want to avoid the latter as much as possible, but don't want to come off as disinterested. How the hell do I manage this damned boner? Note that I am a 25-year-old virgin who has never so much as held a woman's hand. Progress has been very slow, to say the least.
Starting point is 00:12:54 I can see where the boner issues are coming in now. Is this just a fake issue I have made up in my head? Well, the head of your penis, presumably. If ideas are brought up, this is what I've tried. This is what he's tried? These are the four things that he has tried.'s tried four things oh my god okay so i have done a wisdom wank beforehand i've never heard of something called a wisdom wank it's a classic american pie style idea okay um what so so the idea it is the idea that before you go on the date
Starting point is 00:13:20 you jerk off so that you're not too horny when you're on the date exactly that's right right uh i've tried the waistband trick i think that's where you tuck it into your waist it into your waistband yeah have you guys ever done the uh the waistband time no i i just what i don't hug people while i've got a boner unless i intend to do something no but there's there's surely there's been situations where you've had to where you've had a boner and you've had to you know go upstairs to like you know go to the back like you've had to where you've had a boner and you've had to you know go upstairs to like you know go to the back like you've had to pass like a room that like your parents are in or something you know i just i just i what i will do is i will if i have like a jumper on i'll take
Starting point is 00:13:55 the jumper off and carry it around your waist no no where it just looks like i'm carrying something up the stairs oh yeah yeah like it's camouflage yeah um so yeah i mean you know it's very common to wake up in the morning with a another another way to hide that is uh especially if you're just in your boxer shorts just um just scratch your balls like uh like fully scratch your balls and let your arm sort of mask the boner as well you know like it so it's not perfect it's not perfect hide, you know? Like it's not perfect. It's not perfect. So, hide in plain sight. Yeah, it's not perfect, but it does work. If you're caught by surprise, like, you know, somebody wakes up and you're not expecting
Starting point is 00:14:35 them to and you're just in the kitchen, you've just woken up, you still got a boner and you're in your boxers, you can just be like, oh i have my balls are so itchy start scratching them and they might not notice you might get lucky i see all right i got two things so one shout out to all the gentlemen who have a boner but you know it's just unnoticeable you know i for me i'm never like i i don't think people notice uh do you mean so that's fine if i have one i feel i'm not bragging or anything but if i have one you're gonna you'll you'll know about it it's it's very hard to disguise there's always a little bit of a trouser bulge anyway i feel like my trousers are loose enough that i don't i'm looking down now and i'm thinking would people know i mean maybe i mean they can see the
Starting point is 00:15:21 outline of my phone in my pocket i guess if they if they're looking for it. But like, I don't know. I've just never had that thing. And second of all, even if they can see, is this just the equivalent to women not wearing a bra? Shout out to a previous podcast. I do think it is. And you can just see their nipples through the top. All right, so let me ask you something. If you were in a playground and you had a visible boner, you'd get beaten up or nicked.
Starting point is 00:15:44 But if you're in a playground and your nipples are visible, no one's going to attack you. There is a fundamental difference between a boner and nipples. The nipples might be erect because it might be feeding time at the moment. Or it's cold as fuck.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Yeah, or it's time for dindins. Anyway, I... Like, that's... Fuck's sake. I will also say there is a question of angle here because certain penises have different angles of attack. Yeah, they have different arcs. But it depends how raging it is, though. I'm not a straight out in front guy.
Starting point is 00:16:20 No, me neither. I'm not a straight out in front. Mine's an up. Oh, mine's an up. Mine's an up, but like depending on the stage, it could do a lean as well. It's not just going to stick straight out. Oh yeah, well, no. I mean, obviously there's some dipping and it's like a mast on a ship, you know, if there's a strong current to one side, you get a dip left or right. But I mean,
Starting point is 00:16:41 it's straight. I don't have a banana knob like some people do the one that's really with a real full-on with a real bend bending it like beckham you know literal fair enough isn't it no no penis is perfect no they're all wonderful their own ways but certainly mine is not it's because it's up the tuck is quite effective yes the tuck yes it's very good if it's enough yeah yeah if you have have a straight head, I mean, God bless you. I got to say, though, I don't think I'm getting a boner if I'm holding hands or hugging someone. Are you a 25-year-old virgin? Clearly not.
Starting point is 00:17:13 I wish I was. This lad is. Right. By own admission. So, he's going to, I think, be so keen. So, maybe find somebody, maybe get with somebody who isn't going to put a lot of pressure on you sexually to begin with, you know, like maybe like a Mormon or something. Just practice holding hands until you're really comfortable holding hands without boner, right? And then you can sort of, that can be like a goal that you work towards.
Starting point is 00:17:42 And once you've achieved that goal, drop her like a hot brick and get with somebody who's ready to go to hit a home run. Yeah. Do you have something to add to this, Lewis? What could you possibly add to this? I think don't worry too much about it. Like, it's a nice thing, I think. Yeah. There you go. and you're lucky
Starting point is 00:18:05 to have that um problem yeah not a problem you'll be grand don't don't work too hard don't like at least you know it everything's working down there don't panic about it maybe if you panic about it and the anxiety will get will get to go away so maybe actually no that's not gonna happen happen. I think just, um, try not to worry. I think the first person that this guy makes out with is going to need to wear a helmet though, because I think she's going to get blasted right off the couch.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Like one of those, uh, like a fencing mask. Like the ones they wear. Yes. Yeah. All right. This is,
Starting point is 00:18:40 uh, this email is, is entitled pronunciation. Listening to you talk about the transfer bus story, which was in a previous mailbag, I said that I got on the bus. Oh, yeah, transfer. I was just talking about this recently because we had a very fun train adventure through France. Oh, yeah? Yeah, we took trains to get to Disneyland when we went.
Starting point is 00:19:01 This is the first time we've ever taken trains and a boat. Normally, we would fly, but we saved so much money not flying. It was insane. Like I'm talking like thousands of pounds in savings. Wow. Yeah. From Jersey to France costs thousands? It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Yeah. It's so expensive because you've got to go through London first and then over to... So it's two flights and it's five fares. It's full fare for a two-year-old now wait i've got a question for you uh young young chris um you can't fly from jersey to france nope are you fucking serious in the summer months sometimes you can they they have a like a small flight from jersey to ren but um but it's right there i know but, but you just can't do it. I mean, you can see France from Jersey.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Yeah, it's 14 miles away. Well, that's why you get the car ferry. Yeah. You should just never fly. I mean, you could swim that. Well, this is what I'm saying. Now that we've done our train adventure, we're sold. We're going to do it again because it was great.
Starting point is 00:20:02 We took the TGV and everything was awesome. Yeah, that's the one. because it was it was great like we took the tgv and everything was awesome yeah that's the one and um it was really nice and uh we were talking about transfers because we both used to live in ottawa my wife moved to ottawa and the in in ottawa at the time they didn't have light rail it was all buses they had a transit way for the buses it was a it was actually a pretty good public bus system but they had paper transfers. So, you could ask, when you pay for your fare, you could say, can I have a transfer, please? And they give you a paper transfer that had an expiry time on it. So, it would be good for like an hour or whatever.
Starting point is 00:20:37 And then you could use that to hop onto another bus line from the one that you're on sort of thing, right? And it worked pretty well, but I don't know if it exists anymore because sort of thing right um and and it worked pretty well but i don't know if it exists anymore because this was like 20 years ago and it was paper i guess people just use their phones or cards and stuff now so maybe it's different but i was a big fan of the transfer i got many transfers in my time there you go yeah well anyway the email says the mcdonald's oh so this reminded me of a story of living in kore The McDonald's in my area was a handy landmark for taking taxis. But if I said McDonald's, the local taxi drivers would be nonplussed. To make it to my destination, I had to ramp up my stereotypical Asian accent and ask to be taken to McDonald's. Always felt a bit guilty doing so, but that's what it took.
Starting point is 00:21:21 That is interesting. You have to say McDonald's. Well, they're like, I don't know what you mean, mate. Yeah. I wonder if people come to London, they say, Hi there, buddy, take me to them houses of parliament. And they just like, I don't know what you mean, mate. Yeah, surely, surely you could figure it out. Probably. It depends. It's like anything. It really depends on who you get. Yeah. Well, no, but like in Japan, McDonald's and Starbucks, that actually is their name. That's Korea.
Starting point is 00:21:45 McDonald's. McDonald's. And Starbucks or whatever it is. It is actually called that. Is it on the signage? Well, yeah, it's in kanji pronounced like that or whatever. Yeah, so it is. I had, when I went to Japan, I went to a subway and nobody there spoke any English whatsoever. But they were very accommodating. I just pointed at everything and they got my any English whatsoever, but they were very accommodating.
Starting point is 00:22:05 I just pointed at everything and they got my order right and everything. And they seemed very happy and I was very happy and it was fine. So if I can do it, anyone can. That wasn't the point, but yeah, I literally pointed at everything. Like she'd be like,
Starting point is 00:22:21 and I'd be like pointing at tomatoes, like really point those ones, those was you know you know i will just say the french get it easy really because they can call their trains yeah which just means the very fast yeah speed if we brought out a train and just said the very quick we're calling it the very quick train you'd be like fuck off you couldn't come up with a better name than that well no because what they do is they'd say oh yeah we've we got this new train line and we want the public to name it and then it would be called trainee mctrain face and then uh and that's far worse than calling it just very fast train or whatever the thing is they don't call it very fast train. They call it TGV because, you know, like it sounds cooler, right? It does.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Nobody refers to it as the very fast train. They just call it a TGV. But they're like in awe of this thing. It's not Trey Grand. It's Train Grand. Yeah, it's Train Ć  Grande Vitesse. I always thought it was Trey Grand, like very fast. This is from Sean.
Starting point is 00:23:24 I'm a gardener in Leeds, Yorkshire, hence the greeting. Oh, yeah, he says, A up. A up. By all means, do the northern accent. It's a very long email, so it's a bit much. My job title sounds uninteresting. I admit, the work I do is about as interesting as the title makes it sound. The title is Boring Job, Interesting Job.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Right. He mows lawns, cuts hedges, et cetera. However, it does offer a small insight into how a variety of people live. Most of our work involves clearing tiny yards of student accommodations of weeds and beer bottles, but occasionally something a bit more comparatively grandiose enters our work schedule. For example, the owners and landlords of a lot of properties in the West Yorkshire area ask us to come around, take some ivy off the side of their houses and take care of various
Starting point is 00:24:04 other bits of unwanted greenery. Everything on the outside of the house was borderline breathtaking. A lawn so large even a pack of border collies couldn't make use of all of it. A single table with two metal garden chairs, a person could sit with a partner or friend, and feel completely isolated and undisturbed
Starting point is 00:24:18 by the outside world, and a tennis court that had seen better days, probably due to the fact that walking to it would give you as much of a workout than actually playing on it. I didn't know anything about the residence, as the boss does all of the communicating. I just show up with shears in hand, but one time we were there, a lady in her 30s comes out while I'm snipping up some hedges and asks me to come inside the house to speak
Starting point is 00:24:36 with Mavis. Now, where do you think this story is going? Well, I tend to think that this is heading somewhere sexy, but I feel like maybe he's going to meet a celebrity or something. Maybe it's an animal. No. I enter the front door and was greeted by what us Yorkshire folk love most, a bar. The first room guests and visitors see is what they can only describe as incredibly cozy, tiny pub, complete with a small bar featuring a handful of beer pumps, classic beige pub wallpaper, seating area made up of small stools covered with classic red fabric,
Starting point is 00:25:02 and a couple of circular pub tables. I didn't see any of the rest of the home but my pauper mind these people lived in a miniature match mavis was in the corner with a feet in a foot foot bath comfortable as any person would be in a pub even more so she told me what needed doing in the garden and he went off and cut the hedges uh i'd like to hear about you and the chaps previously potentially boring jobs well there you go thanks sean uh i really thought that story was gonna go i never i never met i never met somebody in a small pub in a house that's for sure that's a story worthy of me telling on this podcast yeah like i i know people who've got a bar in the back of their house it's not just for rich people it's like something that a lot of retired people have is they'll put like a little pub in the back of their house like i know people who've turned a
Starting point is 00:25:44 shed into a pub and it's not some big fancy rich person thing i really thought you were gonna mavis was gonna be like mavis beacon from mavis beacon teachers typing yeah i thought i thought this was leading up to he he didn't realize it but he was tending to like the celebrity's house or something and he was shocked to find out which one it was the stories step up the story a little bit i was very disappointed yeah what stories do we have about boring jobs we had man i've had some boring jobs and they're so boring that i don't even want to talk about them yeah i worked in a warehouse one summer and a list of things that they needed from the warehouse would come in and you had to go and put them in a wheelbarrow move them to the front put
Starting point is 00:26:24 them in butt crates and then a van would come and pick them up that sounds fun actually i used to have to deliver boring the penny saver newspaper when i was a young a young man i did i did that too i had to fill i had to spend hours putting all the inserts into each paper and then delivering the paper and i hated it and i remember doing it thinking oh man at least i'll get paid for this and my first paycheck came in and it was six dollars yeah yeah I can absolutely relate to this it got to the point where I hated doing it so much it was so embarrassing because anyway I cried I would actually force myself to cry to get out of it my mum did it for me several times where I was
Starting point is 00:27:02 just too sad to do it but the thing is the only thing that we could use was a shopping trolley because there were so many papers and I was only young. I was like 11, 10 or 11. Yeah, same. Yeah, yeah. So I had a shopping trolley full of papers and I would go up and down my road and then the next road over, I think I got Ā£3.30 for doing a road. Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:21 And you got like a 10p bonus for putting all the uh fucking inserts in as well it was a pathetic oh this is exact i did this um we we would i would stuff the papers in front of the telly and then my mom or my dad would drive me to the road and sit in the car at the end of the road while i went up and down doing all the papers and they were just sat in the car waiting and i they drive me home again i think it was more of a lesson you know my friend used to deliver the the the like the proper newspaper the ottawa citizen which was like you know basically like getting like the times or something you know like it was a local paper but it was like you know a big paper you know people had it delivered to their their door or. And he would get like bundles just dropped in his front yard really early in the morning.
Starting point is 00:28:09 And then he'd have to wake up and deliver these like before he went to school. And one year he went on vacation for two weeks and he was like, can you please cover my paper route while I'm gone? But he didn't ask me. Like he said to it, like his parents phoned my parents and they're like oh hey can chris uh cover the the paper route for two weeks or whatever like while we're gone we'll arrange for it to be dropped off at your house and stuff you'll just need he'll just need to like you know bundle them into his bike or whatever and then deliver them because it's like
Starting point is 00:28:37 it's not like my route you know like it was his neighborhood or like street or whatever so i had to bike all the way over to his street and then you had to deliver it to the right houses right because it was people who subscribed or whatever so i did that and it sucked and i don't even think i got paid for it you had to like this sheet of paper that you had to look at the addresses to make sure that the right place has got the papers and stuff and then he got back from vacation and decided that he hated doing this for like a week he would just take the bundles and chuck them in the ravine there was so many papers in there oh there was like so many fucking papers i love the idea that there's a ravine oh yeah there's the it was the burbs right so you had creeks and ravines and
Starting point is 00:29:24 shit everywhere like you had nature like and ravines and shit everywhere. Like, you had nature. Like, that's where, like, the, you know, like, the porno mags in the forest stuff comes from. It's suburban myths and legends. It's all ravines. Yeah, ravines and creeks and stuff. Local what's left of nature that couldn't be put a grid down. That's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:42 That's right. But, yeah, so, there were just these bundles and bundles of Ottawa citizens just stacked up in the forest. It was great. Uh, and then he lost his, um, he lost his paper route.
Starting point is 00:29:53 So there you go. There you go, man. It's almost like being asked to look after someone's cat or whatever, except can you look after my job for two weeks? Yeah, we didn't, we never did any like pet sitting.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Um, it was always like can somebody cover my paper route or some shit like that you know it's weird that you get your mates to do that yeah instead of like just going to your boss yeah i'm a holiday for two weeks find someone else because it was such a temporary yeah but that's the thing is you could lose the job because they don't there's no fucking contract no like you just go to the newsagent and you're like, oh, I need to work as a paper. Not for like a 12-year-old. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:28 And they're just like, if you can't do it for two weeks and someone else does, it's like, sorry, he's got your paper around now. It's like, ah, fuck. Like, it's not like you're going to go to the fucking tribunal about it. It's just you don't do it for one week and that's it. They'll find someone else. Paper's got to be done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:42 All right. This is from Roy. As a loyal listener, I'm dying to know your hot takes on taylor swift state your opinions now so we all have to state our opinions on taylor swift before this email continues i feel like she's pretty overrated i i don't know much about her i don't really enjoy her her genre of music she's the voice of her generation no i'd agree with that i think she's very attractive i like some of her generation. No, I'd agree with that. I think she's very attractive. I like some of her songs. Wasn't she a country western singer first? She was, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:11 Not that that matters. No, I mean, here's the thing. That's about all I know about her. She is what I want in a pop star. She writes actually good songs. She actually writes them. She can actually play multiple instruments. She's got a good singing voice, and her songs are good. I think it's good that we have people like taylor swift being popular instead of uh you know some some bag of shite i think she's good so yeah i think i think you've nailed it exactly is she meant to be the new okay be like is she is she like the modern day madonna
Starting point is 00:31:38 basically i think she's probably uh yeah i would say i know madonna's still around but i mean come on madonna's like you know i think she might even be i think she's i know madonna's still around but i mean come on madonna's like you know i think she might even be i think she's bigger than madonna yeah well i mean i think bigger than madonna ever was so she's so she's basically like a madonna or like uh a beyonce or britney spears or like uh you know with longevity of career unlike britney right it was like quite frankly no offense to brit Spears, was kind of a flash in the pan. And then there's been a news story. I don't know if she was around for a while, though.
Starting point is 00:32:11 How long do you think she was around for? She had to be around for at least a decade, a little bit more. I really don't think so. No. Let's have a look. Let's have a look. She was the princess of pop. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Discography. So, Baby One More Time, 1999. Oops, the princess of pop. Yeah discography. So baby one more time 1999 oops. I did it again. Yeah 2000 and then an album called Britney Yeah, which came out in 2001 and then in the zone which came out in 2003 you remember in the zone Any of the songs on I'll be honest I I don't even know half of the songs that you just said like even her big songs. I don't even know There's an album so you do know the song toxic. Yes I don't even know half of the songs that you just said. Like even her big songs, I don't even know. Those are albums.
Starting point is 00:32:47 So you do know the song Toxic. Yes. I feel like that was probably her last big hit. Okay. So that was four years after Hit Me Baby One More Time. Wow. Really? Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:59 I thought there was a lot longer in between. No. So maybe you're right then. Four year gap before an album called Blackout, which I hadn't heard of. Then Circus. And then a three year gap. Femme Fatale. Then Britney Jean, which I again never heard of.
Starting point is 00:33:12 And then an album called Glory. So I haven't heard of any of those. No, me neither. She had a very short lifespan at the top. Yeah. And then all the pressure and all the rest of it. I thought Toxic came out like maybe 2010 or something you know that's why i thought she had at least a relatively unfair like comparison though i mean britney was obviously a disney icon who was manufactured he was kind of like this
Starting point is 00:33:35 like like almost like pushed into it when she was a kid like went kind of crazy multiple times has always kind of been a bit of a disaster right but i'm not having a pop at her career i'm just saying yeah taylor swift has clearly been around and been more successful how long has taylor swift been around oh well taylor swift again like i think she's obviously been it must be 15 years now right so taylor swift who is only 33 by the way god damn she's so she's been around 15 years and she she's 33 yeah so her first album was called valentine's day right oh no those are films sorry that's filmography let's look at discography
Starting point is 00:34:12 her first album was 2006 and it was called taylor swift right and that was a country uh music album 2006 2006 and that was you know incredibly so so so when so she when she came out britney spears is pretty much done already yeah yeah incredibly yeah she's changed though and i think a lot of people have grown up with her and i think the fact that she kind of again we don't know how that you know you these these days people are very aware of their image they have a very you know i think i think it feels she feels a lot more genuine like taylor swift right though i think at least she gives gives that that vibe and that aura that you you know her or you you could know her and she's rich she is real you know she's not this fake persona or whatever but obviously knowing that there's this parasocial idea with all of us
Starting point is 00:35:00 you know that you don't really know these people and who knows what they're actually like i know her i know her i know how she ticks yeah see what i got her for her birthday this year there's a lot of like i don't know she seems like a very positive um vibe though a lot of good messages not like embroiled in controversy doesn't have any really weird what's uh what's that other um there's taylor swift and then there's uh is that billy eilish billy eilish billy eilish so i don't really know much about is as successful as taylor we had we definitely had this conversation before about uh about taylor swift i'm sure taylor swift was mentioned because we were thinking of top grossing uh pop teen. Oh, right. We definitely talked about Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish. And we were like, we don't know who.
Starting point is 00:35:49 And we didn't really know any of the big acts. I mean, we thought, you know, some members of this committee. It's not for us. Britney Spears was still going and had a decade long career. Well, I mean, she is technically still going. I don't know if you've seen any of her latest content. I've not. She's done a really good TikTok video where she's dancing with knives.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Oh, yeah, I did see that. She's taking the world by storm. Well, I know her book was one of the fastest selling books of all time. Really? Yeah, her book that just came out about her life and all that has done jolly well, apparently. Anyway, I've got, so this is to continue the email. Those were our opinions on Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 00:36:29 I've got a PhD in influence dynamics and I work analyzing subconscious triggers. Good heavens. Wow. Taylor Swift is the god of my industry. Just by saying a word, she can increase the popularity of anything. Like the time she went to an American football game it became a cultural phenomenon jerseys flew off the shelves like hotcakes and football era took over social media wow but here's the kicker cross her and you're in for some serious internet backlash even celebs like olivia wilde and i have to look up who's olivia wilde oh yeah did i mention
Starting point is 00:37:00 how much i love taylor swift i just think she's so on it. She's so influential. She's just so ahead of her game and ahead of her time. Yeah. So Olivia Wilde was in-house, apparently. And she had a pop at Taylor. Olivia Wilde lost almost half her Twitter followers and lowed her net worth for daring to diss Swift. Wow. Her fans, the Swifties, are like an army that takes no prisoners.
Starting point is 00:37:27 the fans the swifties are like an army that takes no prison another uh another famous uh another famous um slight against uh taylor swift and uh i think he did the same to adele as well uh was that damon albarn from blur he had a pop oh yeah as well i mean i don't think there's much i mean swifties are basically just the girl version of simps, right? They're like the little white knights protecting Taylor from all of the bad people. Oh, no. I'm going to have to deal. Someone said something nasty about my lovely Taylor Swift. Oh, let's cancel them on the internet. You are so cancelled.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Yeah, I have no part in this. You were warned. Listen, feel free to email in your corrections for Lewis. If they're good, I will read them out. But I am not a part of this Taylor Swift page. I am, listen, feel free to email in your corrections for Lewis. If they're good, I will read them out. But I am not a part of this Taylor Swift page. I am a fan. I am a fan. I wouldn't say that I'm a fan.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Simpies. Am I right? Fucking hell. My kids listen to some of her songs and I don't find them super unbearable. So that's at least something. I am only messing with you. But I think often you do get people who are obsessive fans and they're blind to and they're in they're in the the minority i think it's okay to like something and be and identify in a group of fans who also share
Starting point is 00:38:38 a shared joy like that's fine but i think if you're gonna start campaigns yeah about someone you don't really know then you need to reassess your priorities i'd say a counterpoint to that would be uh it's not okay for you to like whatever you want like what i like or fuck off yeah all right good i'm glad we brought it back onto the uh the dad chat yeah that's good no i agree I agree. I agree. Let's bring back ACDC. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:07 All right. So tip for Lewis. I put Taylor Swift in my dating app bio and my matches skyrocketed to four times the replies I regularly got. Whoa. People love it and keep messaging me first, which, as Lewis would tell you, is unheard of. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:39:18 I ain't down for no scams. I ain't doing none of the scams. Taylor Swift on a dating app. It better be the real Taylor Swift that has been matched to me. No, no, no. He means like you put like, oh, you know, some Taylor Swift reference. You know, you're like, oh, like some song lyrics from a famous song. You don't advertise yourself as Taylor Swift. What's like a famous song lyric from Taylor Swift?
Starting point is 00:39:44 God, I don't know but um haters gonna hate hate hate haters gonna hate okay i'm gonna add that to my my bio and see if i get some big hits and then when they reply you're like gonna hate fuck off swifty simp bitch that's lewis saying this by the way yes that is lulu leave us out of this please yeah fuck i can't think i can't stop thinking about trains now man i had such a fun time on the trains the french trains like everywhere we went i was like you just got like you got a car ferry to la harvard i did not get a car ferry no i did not we took a foot passenger ferry to semalo uh which is uh semalo okay yeah and uh from semalo you can take uh if you want to you can take a tgv train directly from semalo to paris montparnasse if you want
Starting point is 00:40:37 montparnasse yes we decided to take a a tr train.R. train. This is a train, not Grand Vitesse, to Rennes, where we then changed over to a train at Grand Vitesse to Marne-la-VallƩe-Chessy. What is happening? That's where Disney is. What is happening? Disneyland is just outside of Paris in a small town called Marne-la-VallƩe.
Starting point is 00:41:03 And there is a big train station there built for Disney basically called Marne-la-VallĆ©e-Chessy that's the one oh my god and it's serviced by Eurostar as well if you want to take the uh the tunnel if you wanted to call it the train without speed it would be le train sans vitre yeah I wonder if they ever say that as a clever commuter joke. Maybe. Someone leads on and goes, Oh, dĆ©jĆ  vu. C'est le trĆØs sans vitesse.
Starting point is 00:41:30 And everyone's like, oh. Gaston, you've done it again. I'm sure the trains have as much trouble as they do in here. I've always greatly appreciated and respected Perion. That's this email, which is surely not the case. He's a man with an enormous amount of knowledge and strong opinion. Shut up! Although I've never agreed with him on literally anything.
Starting point is 00:41:53 There it is, back down to earth. Here we go. I feel like you'll have some agreeers with your praise for Taylor Swift, though. I hope so. If there's as many Swifties out there as you guys claim there is, then I think you might have made some new friends on this podcast. I don't think it's possible for me to make friends on this podcast. You've cast your net, the friendship net.
Starting point is 00:42:13 No. Last episode, you three performed a mad lib. Pirian did not know what an adjective or a verb was. All the respect I had immediately vanished. Pirian, I bet even your kids know about these basic English terms. I'm sorry. Yeah, they're in actively in school at the moment. Last time we went to school was like 30 years ago. Give us a fucking break.
Starting point is 00:42:31 It's not a thing I need to know. It is not. Nobody quizzes you on this stuff in the real world. Honestly, if we do know it, people think we're weird. Yeah, you're not going to put that in your bio for anything.
Starting point is 00:42:43 Hey, looking for a date i fully know what an adjective is i i shouldn't know about tater swift and if i do you know upset swifties by accident they send their assassins out of me they should watch out because i'm dangerous that's awkward i'm a dangerous that's right that was a callback podcast where we were saying that we were dangerous oh yeah whoops sorry you know I'm a dangerous That was a callback To earlier in the podcast Where we were saying that we were dangerous Oh yeah, whoops, sorry That's what women like
Starting point is 00:43:11 Of course, yeah, they love that Women like a dangerous man Are you dangerous, are you Lewis? You're a dangerous man, are you? That could be the name of your first album, Lewis You should go for it Dangerous A dangerous man, and then a picture of Lewis People will be looking at the back first album, Lewis, you should go for it. Dangerous.
Starting point is 00:43:27 A dangerous man and then a picture of Lewis. People will be looking at the back. Where? Where? I was promised a dangerous man. Instead, there's a small Lebanese child. Yeah. What's happening?
Starting point is 00:43:36 Well, you know, you'd have to do a track on it, P-Flax. I'll do a fucking track. This album sucks. You can do the rapping bridge for every song. I know what a noun is and a verb. I know all the adjectives. It's absurd. Something like that. There you go.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Yeah. That's my verse. There you go. I still don't know what a mad lib is. Oh, who cares? This is from Jacob. In this episode, Perrion mentions,
Starting point is 00:43:56 this is an episode he's referencing from August or something. He would like a hand signal for, I need to pop to the loo. I did a TikTok about this. You cross your fingers and hold them up in front of you like you're crossing your legs, like you need the loo. That was the symbol I came up with.
Starting point is 00:44:09 I used to work in a very loud factory where verbal communication was next to impossible. This resulted in us creating our own form of sign language. I submitted to the Triforce and specifically, Perion, our version of, I need to pop to the loo in hand signal form. This is what they came up with. So I want you guys to try this. Take your right hand and form a fist and now stick out your thumb and invert your hand so the thumb is pointing downwards, like a thumbs down. Now take your left hand and close it around your thumb and then drag your thumb in a downward motion and it looks like a poop coming out of a bunghole. What do you think? No, if I need to piss i'm i'm crossing my legs i'm holding my junk and i'm
Starting point is 00:44:49 melting i need to piss that's it and if you can't figure it out from that well tough shit i feel like the hand signal that you just described is the way to get beaten up in italy it's so it's such a fucking offensive feel looking hands it really is like like you could imagine some guy with a fucking big italian mustache like being red faced and like you know that jet you know the gesture where they take like their four fingers the fingernails all touch the bottom of your chin and they like flick their hand off the chin yeah they do the thing where they hold like one of their arms out and the other one kind of like fists up like in the interlock that means like up your ass yeah yeah up your ass yeah yeah that's the one i think that the one
Starting point is 00:45:39 we got suggested is is arguably worse i mean it's very graphic it's very it's too graphic i don't like the i don't like the imagery of the turd exiting the bunghole either that's too much for me also i'm not being funny but you should you should have a hand flat and you should push the thumb through so you can see it exiting like make a butt with your other hand and then push a thumb out so it really otherwise you're you're implying that the toilet is, that you're standing up as the poo exits your, either way, it doesn't work. You try it at home. Okay, there's two other gestures that I really hate.
Starting point is 00:46:15 And one of them is the one where you take your pointer finger and your thumb and you make a hole and then you use the other pointer finger from your hand to like, you know, push it in and out. Like the sex one finger from your hand to like you know push it in and out like like the like the sex one the sexy yeah the sex i hate that one and the other one that i hate is the one where you hold two fingers like in the v sign and you put your tongue in between your fingers i fucking hate that one as well yeah it's it's that one just makes me want to perish i hate it yeah it makes me want to perish. I hate it. Yeah. It makes me want to perish as well. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:46 There's some real bad ones. That's a nasty one. It feels so uncouth. Like, it feels like way more offensive than just saying swear words, right? But, yeah, I think some of those, like, yeah, like, real bad. All right. Let's move on. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:47:02 All right. Here we go. This is from Finn. Scanon, gents. Scanon. Oh right, let's move on. Oh, my God. All right, here we go. This is from Finn. Skanon, gents. Skanon. Oh, he's an Aussie. Skanon, gents. Long time listener, first time caller.
Starting point is 00:47:13 And yet another Australian. Oh, like, what's going on? Skanon. Skanon. But it's just all one word. S-G-A-R-N-O-N. Skanon. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Great. Still bitter that the first YodCon was not held in australia as initially promised fuck off we're not going to australia not it's not a dead horse it's too fucking far wait i think it was someone said it was a joke oh australia right we're never fucking going australia i do need to put my two cents in about the whole pub etiquette thing this has gone on and on by the way um he so this lad lives in mel Melbourne. Is this about the queuing at pubs? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But this is other pub etiquette. Okay? That I think Finn
Starting point is 00:47:50 is attempting to impress upon people. Don't do these things in a pub. Right, okay. Number one, because he works in a pub. Number one, as a general rule, do not put your hands past the bar top to the work area behind the bar. If you're trying to grab a clean glass or a straw, simply wait a few seconds for someone to pass one to you. There's no reason you should be putting your filthy,
Starting point is 00:48:07 probably piss-stained hands on my clean bar. What is it with blokes not washing their hands when they take a piss? Good point, number two. But, I mean, first of all, who the fuck is reaching around the bar? Who are two of these people who are doing these, I guess, normal people, I guess? Just scum. When I'm using the toilet, I always, always, always wash my hands. You see an awful lot of people not fucking doing it.
Starting point is 00:48:29 I do it at home. I don't fucking walk around with pissy and shitty hands. It's not okay. It is not acceptable. Wash your fucking hands, you animals. Well, I am a fan of the pre-wash. No, you can't. You wash your hands before you have a pee.
Starting point is 00:48:43 How often do you normally wash your hands wash post piss even if you do a pre-wash no i i get that you don't want to touch your oily johnson but you have to wash after it's it's so important i'm not saying the pre-wash gets rid of the post wash it doesn't replace it go for a piss in your bathroom at a time of the day where the sun is coming in to your window at a perfect angle and look at the air in your bathroom in Marvel. It's disgusting. It's bad. There is particles of shit and piss everywhere in there. Number two, if there are a few people around and you don't know what you're ordering, do not try to flag the bartender down. I generally operate on a first come first serve basis, but I will deviate from this.
Starting point is 00:49:25 If you don't know what you're ordering are on the phone or have to call over or walk over to your table to get the rest of your order. If you do any of these things, don't be upset if I go to the next person ordering. Who are these people? If you come in with your mates and you're not doing this is number three and you're not doing rounds, but all come up to the bar as a group to order. It is simpler to all order at once as a group and simply say to me, you're paying separately, particularly when you all order the same fucking drink,
Starting point is 00:49:51 as so many of the groups of young lads at my pub do. So they go in as a group, and they all want one pint of the same thing, but they all order separately because they don't want to do rounds. That's so weird. So yeah, there you go. Fair enough, Finn. I'll try and impress upon our young audience not to do rounds. That's so weird. So yeah, there you go. Fair enough then. I mean try it Well, I'll try and impress upon our young audience not to do these things
Starting point is 00:50:09 P.s. Knowing that only one of you has been to Australia. That's you Louis Yeah, Louis is only one and only went to fucking Sydney shits me up the fucking wall Sydney is a dump if you want to spend more time than a week there and Melbourne honestly has the most going for it Like trams so there you go it looks nice though melbourne i've seen i've seen uh some nice aerial shots of sydney whilst watching uh married at first sight australia and it looks fantastic it looks great lewis what was sydney like because i've heard good things but everyone from melbourne seems to despise it yeah lewis thought it was a dump. There was no trams there.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Hated it. The problem is Sydney's a massive, sprawling metropolis with like 5, 10 million people there, right? It's got a lot of people. And as a result, like the central area where I was in a hotel around the harbour was quite nice. You know, I got a boat. I went around the opera house. You got a boner while you were there. Did you have to waistband it or what it was just australia everyone was just hanging out there you know just let it all hang out
Starting point is 00:51:12 no it was nice the bin chickens and i had a nice time in sydney i'd go back i would go back but i guess i didn't see the dumpy areas of it you know i wasn't there long enough to no every every city center if you just stay right in the middle it'll be quite different do you mean like you know we stayed in a different area of paris for twitchcon that i've ever been to and it was a lot shitter than the nice area what uh reed what what uh area did you stay in mont parnass mont parnass did you find it a bit of a dump yeah it was not as not as nice as some of the others but it's still nice like actually like comparatively i didn't i didn't hate it but yeah i think i think if i'm
Starting point is 00:51:45 if i were to go again i would go probably not i probably wouldn't go to melbourne i'd probably go to the gold coast or whatever that's why gold coast is meant to be really nice well let me know what it's like i'll never be going there uh this is this is an email i'll never go i'll never go to australia what about what about going to tassie i would never go to any of those places why why it's not a country that's meant to be inhabited by human beings right it is very clearly very much meant for people it is what what are you you can only live in barely any of it most of the country is uninhabitable and you wouldn't even want to try and live there the animals i think you lost all your swifty goodwill on this one. I know.
Starting point is 00:52:27 I don't think there's much crossover. I'm telling you, if you live in Australia, you may as well be saying to me that you live on a colony on Mars. It's that alien and inhospitable. What are people thinking living there? Get out. Get out while you still can. God, there's so many people there.
Starting point is 00:52:43 It's going to take a long time for them to vacate. We'll take them back. We'll take them back. I will never, ever, ever go there. I will never go there. Do you not like the snakes? Do you think you're going to be eaten by a snake? They got those waterproof spiders over there too.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Spiders. They've got jellyfish. They've got sharks. They've got scorpions. They've got, you name it, they've got- Dingoes. They got dingoes. Most of the country country like cassowaries
Starting point is 00:53:06 They'll cut you right there on the street As long as a cassowary lives dude, I saw a video of a guy putting out his rubbish And there's a fucking cassowary in the street and they're like, oh, yeah, but not in the big cities Like that's only in the little towns. But people are just living side by side with a murderous animal. Yeah, you get that in Canada with bears. Yeah, I'm not going anywhere near bears either. Come on, you're going to go to Canada. You've been
Starting point is 00:53:34 to Canada. Yes, and I didn't go anywhere where there was a conceivable chance of seeing a bear. Well, you could do that in Australia pretty much. No, you can't. There's tons of places you can go to in Australia that are cassowary free the spiders stay out of the city
Starting point is 00:53:47 you're never gonna find a spider in the city hey an interesting I got an interesting factoid for you about spiders in Australia Peppa Pig
Starting point is 00:53:55 when it was aired in the UK had an episode called Mr. Skinny Legs Mr. Skinny Long Legs Mr. Skinny Long Legs and it was
Starting point is 00:54:04 seen as encouraging kids to be kind to spiders and not be afraid of them or kill them immediately or whatever. Classic episode. It had to be banned in Australia because they have so many poisonous spiders over there. They thought that
Starting point is 00:54:20 kids would be like, oh hey Mr. Skinny Legs, I'm dying! I'm poisoned! Why wouldn't I just go to that country where they literally had to remove an episode that implied that spiders were not dangerous they're so dangerous and they're huge no chance he's got more ammo for his opinions now me and pepper pig and never go into australia i'll tell you that much no look i i i think we should go you know as much as then again i still haven't done the strip club like you said we were going to do for my fault i'll go to a strip club with you i said we gotta step you into it it's not a full strip club we got to take you
Starting point is 00:54:56 to hooters first no no no we gotta take you to hooters we take you to hooters first there's one in liverpool i think we'll take you to that one so that you can step into um that sort of awkwardness right strip clubs are pretty fucking no i want to throw him in i want to throw him in there's a good one in bristol share our experiences you know perian can teach us how to go to a strip club i can teach you how to go to australia yeah could teach us how to go on the car ferry and then all the trains in France Oh that'll be so much fun though Fuck let's do that one first Here's the difference
