Hello, we're back. We're back. Short sabbatical of a week.
Speaker 1Well, I should probably let the let this as know, as I did on Instagram. Those didn't see it. I've had the lurky for four and a half weeks and I had the most horrendous cough still do have some of it, so this could be an interesting episode. I just couldn't speak, couldn't speak with like coughing, had to cancel the gig last Saturday, and so that was it. I was washed up like I'm in life, but we're back now.
Speaker 2We're back, it's going to be a positive episode. New year, positive thoughts washed up in life. Positivity or a positive 2024 is going to send me down the drain. I'm right, yeah, yeah, just you know back to work feeling tired, yeah, just you know, taking on too much, thinking that I'm like a living legend and then finding out very quickly that I collapse.
Speaker 1I'm not a legend at all. You're in your 40s and you forgot about it.
Speaker 2I forgot about it. Yeah, because that's the funny thing, isn't it? My body tells me I'm not. So when I'm actually doing this stuff, I'm like full energy, like yeah, yeah, yeah, this is great, my God, I'm so physically fit. I'm amazing. And then I sit down and fall asleep. I fall asleep, but I fell asleep at work today on the desk. I was like I've been running around doing like a talk class, taking some people around the gym, setting up the spin bikes, taking them down. I was like, ah, I've got so much energy, this is great. And then I sat down at reception with a cup of tea and someone went oh, are you sleeping?
Speaker 1I?
Speaker 2was like huh, no, I've been asleep for a couple of minutes at least.
Speaker 1I know what that face looked like as well.
Speaker 2Yeah, it used to be my my wee, my wee me face, isn't it? Yeah, it did.
Speaker 1It did, and just that, literally upright with the straight neck, eyes just very softly closed, and then you'd, you'd open your eyes and look around to make sure everyone was sitting where they should be, and then, if you go to sleep again, yeah, it's my famous falling asleep, sitting dead still in one place.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean anything in your hand tea remote control game controller chocolate bar, anything.
Speaker 1nothing falls, it's all there. It's like perfectly. You're like a waxwork dummy yeah.
Speaker 2It's like. It's like the slowest blink in the world, isn't it? It's just the eyes close and I'm still in motion. Then they open. It's not like a fall asleep, it's just like a really slow blink, sometimes for 10 minutes.
Speaker 1Hey, so if if you've listened to the Christmas episode and the New Year's episode, you will know that we didn't actually record those when they when they went out. Well, just before we recorded them. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to hear that I have a broken the fourth wall, which you hate, I do. Well, we didn't record those in December, on January, we recorded those in November. So actually we've got the proper catch up to do now. See if we predicted anything that came, came up in those episodes. How was your December and Christmas?
Speaker 2My December was pretty good. Christmas is good, so you went home didn't you.
Speaker 2I went home Like I love Christmas. So for me it's always the build of. I'm like, yeah, christmas, and I'm constantly like going on Amazon and buying people presents and looking online what kind of buying, going to shops, so I just love it. But then by the time I get to it. So I made a kind of decision about next Christmas.
Speaker 2Like you know, you work so much leading up to Christmas that by the time you get there it just kind of goes by a bit of a blur. Then you have a little bit of time off and something new. And then for me, like 27, 28, 29, I'm a bit rested now and I suddenly start feeling Christmasy but it's all over. So that kind of happened again this year. But yeah, I fell asleep on the motorway on the way up to Leeds. That was fun, oh yeah, you said, oh man, that was brutal. I was. You know if you ever got in the car right and just thought I'm all right, I'm all right. And then you get out on the main road and you're like I'm too tired to be doing this.
Speaker 1No, we knew, though you probably still changed gear, changed lane indicator and everything. You just said that and I shut like I genuinely nothing changed in the car, like I was, just going forward and I knew I was asleep because I started dreaming.
Speaker 2That's how bad it was.
Speaker 1Oh, I hate that. I was like I've done that once or twice and it's like you sort of lose consciousness, yeah.
Speaker 2Oh fucking hell. I had the poor Monty sitting next to me, didn't say a word, didn't help at all. It's like yeah, for anyone who's been started listening.
Speaker 1And Co-driver.
Speaker 2Yeah, terrible co-driver and, yeah, I couldn't. I couldn't even pull over anyway there's no one to go, so I just started calling people. I think I tried to call you, actually, but I knew you'd be on yeah, team is closing.
Speaker 1I was doing a show, I think, wasn't I?
Speaker 2I think you're doing a show. Yeah, you should have come out with those, no excuse, but um, yeah, I should have took my final stage with me, just in case. So you could have done that In Panty. You can get away with it, right. So I'm just going to. What are you going to follow? See my friends in the four seat drive. Do you want to keep them awake? I'm like, yeah, it's hello, come on. I'm like, oh, there, you are.
Speaker 1Why are you up here on that? Hang on a second. Hello, oh, hello, juan. Sorry, sorry, audience yeah.
Speaker 2Carry on with the scene without me. You're one of the celebrities you could have gone away with that but yeah, so that was. That was quite scary. Actually, I mean I was all right, but it was scary, you know. So don't do that. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and everyone in between, so, but other than that, yeah, it was good.
Speaker 1Did you have a nice because we spoke? I mean, we won't dwell on Christmas in the year too much because we did that for an hour. We are.
Speaker 2We're both episode.
Speaker 1But did you have good presence? Did your partner get it right?
Speaker 2Because it's a tough to ask for you. Do you know what she did, boom?
Speaker 2Yeah like she really did. So there's a couple of things you've got me like Christmas ornaments, right, but one of them, the like limited edition Disney ones. So one's a Spider-Man like, with street lights that come on above his head and sitting there. It's really cool. And the other one's like a Winnie the Pooh one she got me I can't remember. There's loads of random things, but then she got me one of the big ones was a Disney box set, but we are talking like the ultimate Disney box set with like 50 something.
Speaker 1Oh what?
Speaker 2Blu-ray. No, I wanted it on DVD, not Blu-ray. So she accidentally got it on Blu-ray, not her fault. It was the thing about wanting on DVD, because who uses Blu-ray now?
Speaker 1anyway, I use Blu-ray, but that's only the ones I've got mostly used. But that's what I mean.
Speaker 2Like it was a thing. And then it's like, because the TV's have become so good, it's like it's a bit redundant in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1Yeah, it is a bit yeah.
Speaker 2But yeah, so it's this like. I mean it's massive with it.
Speaker 1What's in it? I mean, I know Disney.
Speaker 2Every Disney classic film, from Dot right the way up to now. Yeah, it's a big old present.
Speaker 1But is it the? Is it just the Disney animated, or is it the live version as well, and Pixar and everything? What is it?
Speaker 2It's Pixar and the animated.
Speaker 1Is it Pixar as well?
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's got like everything in it. I was just like, oh Okay, and she'd already, because she bought me loads of stuff. That was just the two main ones Do you not already have them on DVD though? Because you've got most of them. I do have a lot of them on DVD. I actually have most of them on DVD, but I love a box that, like I love having them. In that kind of view I was like, yeah, this is, this is cool.
Speaker 1So yeah, and also for the ones you've already got. I mean, they're worth what about 50p now? I want they just chuckle Charity or give them to see. Yeah.
Speaker 2I've got this as well for my system, showing you for other can't see it. Which is everyone a?
Speaker 1Book on the garbage pale kids.

Speaker 1Oh yeah, I've got it right here, still in it, and I'll put it back in its protective Carbord and bubble rats.
Speaker 2Keep it nice, I've got nostalgic this year with a lot of presents.
Speaker 1It's very much. You remember the cover.
Speaker 2I remember that cover.
Speaker 1That's why, yeah, yeah it's a radio times from the 16th to the 29th of December 1995, back when I had a family and and but it's got a kind of a cartoon, santa Claus sort of, on the front we're not cartoons, kind of like a paint yeah like it's a little bit painted, but he's got a ring on that.

Speaker 2And it's a Wales and West one, which is my. I know I saw that because I actually could have got a few rea. I had to bid for the side to go online and bid for all these bloody magazines, but um, yeah, this took a lot of. So all these like radio times, I'll just pick up a. I mean around Christmas time I was like I had about four or five on the go and I was like bid, bid, bid, bid, outbid that person. I've lost that one, outbid that one. It was just. It was spent my days like searching that kind of thing and you're um the only downsides your present that I Saw as I was looking through it and I was, and I was like none of this is on.

But the graphics on top of that are like windows 95, windows yeah they really are, and so you got a little bit. And now, if someone put that as a design thing for now, you'd be like get out my office, but that then that was like cutting edge, I mean that was cutting edge. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2I to all that I also had to buy your um your other present twice, because I'm an idiot. I.
Speaker 1Know it's all about that. That's good one Anyway. Yeah, so it's a really good present. Yeah, so loads of good stuff in here. Um, the funny thing is I was saying nothing's on, that was on this, but a lot of the stuff to recycle on TV now, so some of it was.

So it's got wet, wet, wet. Picture this, which I bought or had as a Christmas present Robson and Jerome's album, which I had remember them. So that's how they come on how that? Yeah, yeah for the SNES international superstar soccer which I had oh. By the way, yeah, international superstar soccer back in the day, for the says was still 42 99.
Speaker 2Was it wow. So the games I'm gonna matter much, yeah I always felt they've actually stayed the same and they Probably the way. Something gonna be this it still feels the same oh.
Speaker 1My god, look, they got this Christmas unwind while they rewind the very best in children's spoken word. All titles are double cassettes.
Speaker 2Audio books on cassette Fucking love it speaking of which, I've just great into audio books Never done in my life. Yeah, they're just yet a downloaded audible because I started using a Spotify. But they're all a little bit irritating because. So I was like you know what I'll Spotify do Audio books, brilliant. So I went through one book, got to the second book and went you've run out of your time for this month. Would you like to buy some more? To go on like, well, okay, yeah, I'll buy a bit more. How much is it gonna be? Like a few pounds for, like you know, three books. No, no, it's 10 pounds for 10 hours. Very mind, these audio books take about 10 hours. I was like are you kidding me? So then I thought I'm gonna download audible. That's better, because that's what it is it's an audio service. All the books I want to read. They take one credit. Cool, how many credits do you get a month for your money? One. I was like you fucking jokers, here's a tip, go on. Oh, I'll go on.
Speaker 1Here's a tip. So I've got the audible thing and I think, the one I've got. You get one monthly credit. You can get more. Yeah, if you paid more. I'm on audible premium plus. Yes, I've got well, I did have five credits. Yesterday I got another book. They roll over I.
Speaker 1Yeah, I have a maximum up to five, so you've got to use them. But okay, it's quite a few books that I have listen to or listen partway through and gone. That's not ready for me and you can return them and they get the credit back on no.
Speaker 1Really it's got to be within the last year, 12 months or something, I think. You can't have fully finished it, I can't remember. But you basically go on there and you can return the books. It wasn't for you and they'll put the credit back on. You can get another book. It's brilliant.
Speaker 2I've done that on about 10 books, can you get to almost the last like word of the chapter. Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1I think I think I've done ones. I've actually read all the way through. Pretty sure I'll try it in they tromba. I've just downloaded a book called 10 things I hate about me how to stay alive with a brain that's trying to kill you, and it's why a guy called Joe Trasini have ever heard of him. So he's an actor and I just I just shared something he did yesterday, so he's in Pantos this year and he was playing like the fair and he did oh yes, I did I saw this.
Speaker 2It was a solution that's actually made to be.
Speaker 1But he's got this. He's got this disorder which basically means his brain tries to get into a suicide or something and he's one life. I don't know, I'm laughing at that, it's not funny, but he, but he basically, because he sort of comes it comically as well, but he, he's tried. So people with that disorder, I think there's like 70, 70% of them try and 15% succeed. And Okay, he's been in the 70%, he's tried to commit suicide. So he's now trying to stay out of that 15%. So he's written this book. But it's also sort of like talking to other people would sort of understand how to try and not hate things about yourself and all that. But I've not listened to it yet, so I can't say too much about it because I don't know. But but I think it looks really good. So I've got that and See, I've got loads of audio books. It's probably the audio books, as I fall asleep every single time. I can't listen to them in the car because it's dangerous. Oh no, I'm alright with them in the car?
Speaker 1Absolutely not. But yeah, I've listened to. I've got quite a few things on there. What have you downloaded?
Speaker 2a just before book my sister. I was just for my favorite writer and she got me a book called early riser and I keep meaning to go to last Christmas. I've read about half of it and I keep meaning to, like every time I go read I get interrupted and I just thought, you know, I'll just download it and then I use my one credit on that and listen to the whole thing. It was really good.
Speaker 1Really good. I'm gonna put my radio times away now because it's fun Go for it right those things, but I think we can't. We did Christmas.
Speaker 2We did Christmas. What are you now? She's telling what did you get for Christmas?
Speaker 1It's like nothing brief now, other than the radio times you're reading out yeah, interestingly there's a few things about Christmas, so I only had the one day because I was pantowing. So I yeah we have Panto shows on Christmas Eve. So I drove down Christmas Eve night, had Christmas day and then had to drive back Christmas day morning Chris, the Boxing Day morning for this year's on Boxing Day. But I basically asked for our Santa what?
Speaker 2you are Santa.
Speaker 1Yeah Santa, yes, hey Santa. I wanted basically records or record vouchers for varnals. Okay, so I got my partner's mum and her Auntie and her uncle and Herself all got me vouchers like either for h&v or the local record store here, or money. So I managed to get six LPs for that, which is quite good, or no, or new versions of them. So I got ABBA gold. Okay, I got David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from Mars. Which he died eight years ago, two days ago.
Speaker 2Oh really, I didn't see that I did.
Speaker 1I also got Led Zeppelin 4. I got madness, greatest hits. I got guns and roses. Appetite for destruction, good choice. And what's the other one? I got One other. Let me see it in my head. Oh, what's the story? Morning glory or racist? Ah, good choice good so yeah, absolutely stellar. Oh, actually, I tell you something else I didn't tell you about. So my stepdad Mike was very kind and gave me money as well and so it means I can get Another two records.
Speaker 1But a reason I haven't got them yet is because the ones I wanted were out of stock.
Speaker 2So I'm gonna wait. Did he give you two grand like he gave me?
Speaker 1No, he only gave me 1500.
Speaker 2I was all because it was to do with how good we were in the podcast, so I think that's probably why I got more.
Speaker 1Thanks, mike, he said that. He said that to me before. Yeah, I wish one was my step son. He's right.
Speaker 2I get it all the time from everyone, but you know, I'm afraid I've only got one family. They don't give me two grand, but it's fine.
Speaker 1Yes, I went. When those two records are back in stock, I'm having those as well. Yes, good ass up.
Speaker 2Good Christmas, brother oh.
Speaker 1And then my missus got me. Uh, she got me, oh she got me a match. The cat bum hole game bit like a snap game with different rules.
Speaker 2I like it. You know that games. I think you've got that. Yeah, someone, um, who was I saying, oh, my nephew got it. It's like a top trumps kind of thing.
Speaker 1Yeah, kind of. Yeah, it's like a yeah, like you have to. You match them up. Match the cats face to it is also basically cool. So, which is basically what I do in this house most of the time what's what's come out of this asshole that we actually do know which? Literally, it's been used by which cat, by the way it is.
Speaker 2Yeah, just put the names and then they'll go to the right one.
Speaker 1And then we did loads, a little kind of like you know stocking, feel a bit like chocolate.
Speaker 1And for my missus I got her a hoodie that she wanted so basically she wanted this necklace thing I with some cat thing on it, but she didn't tell me which one she wanted. She was still deciding. So by the time I got to Chris I was too late to actually get anything. I was. I don't want to not get her a present. So I messaged her mama to look and she sent the list around about the things that, yes, she has. So she wants. She wanted this site, but two different types of body shop stuff and all this other stuff. So I went around all the shops, got these body shop Chardels and a little box, that thing or the gift set. Sorry, she wanted this hoodie from new look.
Speaker 1So I went into into new look and this hoodie was there that they were like a off-white color and the two that she wanted and the size that she wanted had like makeup stains with all the girls and tried them on the shops. It'll be something more at the back. No, we haven't, but our other store has at the retail park at the road. This is up in Stafford where I'm doing Panto. Great rang over there. Yet Put it aside, you'll come down tomorrow morning. It's up to drive to this bloody place.
Speaker 1So I went there in between shows it's dark. They were back to shut in half an hour's time 14 minutes time. I went in, asked person behind the desk no idea looking around and five people involved in the shop looking around for this hoodie brah brah, brah brah. The guy behind the counter saw me in the panda day before because his sister was in it as one little kids chatting away and eventually his manager gets involved, comes over because I found the hoodie. Here is our brilliant, fantastic. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1Weird, weird, weird starts ringing. It's your way. No, hang on, that's a lot more expensive than Then on your website. So I got the website. I showed it to her. She went yeah, this is next. You want new look? I've been in the wrong shop. So like 20 minutes, all the staff looking for this bloody hoodie I'd put aside and it wasn't even there because I know. So I had to run across this fucking retail park to get into new look and they went in there straight. There it's behind the counter, no issues, bush, done within like two minutes. I was like you, numpty boy.
Speaker 1Oh, I got it, I got it, so that's it, and then I just got loads of like kind of little.
Stress and Frustrations During Christmas Festivities
Speaker 2It's a Christmas story.
Speaker 1I went to B&M and I got like a is like a grogu water bottle. What a grogu little night light thing because we sell one of our cats. That is like grogu.
Speaker 2I got, you know, chocolate and I don't know what grogu is, what is?
Speaker 1it Baby Yoda.
Speaker 2Oh, right, okay yeah fair point.
Speaker 1There's probably lots of people listening to this again. What the fuck is a grogu? And then I got like a little set of Notebooks, but they were like friends graphics on the outside, like the friends signs for anything and just bits and bobs, like that really is, and then like sweets and Christmasy bits, but yeah, but it's really nice.
Speaker 1I didn't actually eat believe it or not very much on Christmas day. We had, when I did presents in the morning, I had some porridge little one, those little ones you put the water in, and then little bits of chocolate, throughout the day obviously, and a cup of tea, and Then we had a Christmas dinner, which is lovely, stressful but lovely. I'll get to all that in a minute. But yeah, we had a Christmas dinner but I didn't have seconds, didn't go out for any more I normally do, I normally go ask them all that more, this and Just had the one dinner like normal portion, didn't, didn't load it up or anything.
Speaker 2I thought you're gonna say like a normal person, like an yeah.
Speaker 1I'm saying like a normal person. And then I didn't have any dessert and then later on in the evening I think I had like some. I was like a small little thing, even that, was it some nuts or something like that. I was like and that was it. I just went to bed and got up and then off. I went until I had like a secondary Christmas dinner left overs for the theater and had them for the next two days. But I was like that's unheard of me. I'm always like like yeah, fucking breakfast chocolate Back in dinners and no.
Speaker 2I didn't fire or fire all in Christmas day.
Speaker 1But I made a realization the way home me and the Mrs had a chat. I just went that that front, like Christmas day, was more stressful than it needed to be, because I feel like, because it's the one day, especially when you're doing Panto, there's this, this pressure for it to be Maximized because you only got the one day. Yeah, and I also think there's this pressure that you're trying to Not not everybody. I feel like I am trying to recreate a Christmas that I had as a child, with the myth, with the magic and everything else, and it's never gonna be that, you're never gonna get that. And I felt that I felt like thinking, oh my god, it's already four o'clock. Oh my god, it's already eight o'clock. We need to do this, need to that. We haven't done this one. And I was getting this in my head and I'm thinking like next year I'm not asked about it, I'm because New Year's Day, when I'd finished the Panto, came home the day before, it lasted for days, it was one day and I was like, oh my god, it's still any five o'clock.
Speaker 1This is great. We got up, we had some breakfast, we made some pasta for the day. We did like she did her bitch she just watching. I went and watched my bits and we just sort of it's all just like as and when as we please. It was a really nice day, lasted forever. So.
Speaker 2I'm not doing it anymore. I feel it's a my meme. I still would be talking about this a lot, though we're always trying to recreate that Christmas you had when you were kids and like, and for a long time I could do it, and it's getting harder. It's getting harder and harder to do really hard, but it's like life gets in the way, doesn't it?
Speaker 2you can't just take the time, you can't buy the stuff, you can't you? Basically, that's by kind of every year. I ended up getting like kids toys Like not far off, and I'm like, yeah great, I think we, I think we went out.
Speaker 1Do we go on news day or day after? I can't remember it was, but we've been in the morning. It's all lovely and stuff. We went out to the shop to get something. Have you went into the mountain warehouse? Because they've always got a closing down sale in there. It's never fucking goes and down, it's like for two years. It's like closing down, almost go. It's like. When are you closing?
Speaker 1Slowest closing Say what never fucking ends Within the store. They got an animal store next door as in not to buy animals as in the brand, not like a, you know gerbils and shit in there. And I walked into her and I said well, there we go. I said that's taken 16 hours and I've already got annoyed with people in the new year. She went oh god, what now I was like I said it's fine. I said the problem I, the problem I have is I left the house. I said that if I just stayed in I'd be fine. She just she's rolled her eyes and walked away like, come on, let's go. She's actually a zas brave with me already.
Speaker 1But this fucking dickhead with his little hands and his stupid little trouser pockets, like nonchalantly walking through the store, saw me coming towards him on the on his left, so he's on my, no, on his, yeah, his left, so he's on my left, you know. So if we're going down the road, we'd be going down an American road, yeah, I think of that. And then he wanted to go into the aisle which was immediately Adjacent to my right. Yeah, and he just decided that's what he's gonna do, but slowly and nonchalantly. So I had to stop, like, like, and that sounds like, oh poor, you had to stop. But it was so Just unaware and unbothered about me being there, even though I was sort of thinking here that it just got my back up and once again it's my own issue. But I was just like you, fucking little twat, I literally don't want to trip him up and push him into the fucking stands.
Speaker 1I think people would have understood. Oh, I had it today, literally coming home. Just before we recorded this, there was two instances of, yeah, boy youths, youths Back in hooligans. So there's the main road going back to where I live along the sea front to dual car Shea road, but it's only 40 or 30 miles an hour depending on which part you're on.
Speaker 1I don't get me started on that shit again and there's this garage and there's some lights, traffic lights and this group of weeks, girls and boys and whatever else they call themselves, were I don't know, do I don't know and Just walked out into the road and Luckily luckily I was going the speed limit because they've been police Camerabans on the way in.
Speaker 1So when I was coming back I was wary for them, like I see them on my little ways up, and they just walked out in the road Nonchalantly and looked to me like I'm one kid on this big fucking like dirt bike thing, and I just kept going 30 miles an hour. I thought, well, one of us is gonna be hit here, one of us. And they just got out of the way in time. But I didn't slow at all, which was a bit of a risky game. Fars, I fucking care like I do care.
Speaker 2Wouldn't want to hit them, of course, but I was like in that moment, right, you just like get out of the way. Yeah, get out of the way.
Speaker 1It is a game. Let's both be nonchalant and not give a shit and see who comes off worse.
Frustrations With Communication
Speaker 1You and you little droopy trousers and your fucking puffer coat and me and my high and I let's see if I can guns off Prick and anyway. So I went past that, go up to where and I've got a turn, and it's little mini roundabout to go up to where I live and then, taking the immediate left, turn around the back of these shops and it's 20 miles an hour there. And again I was going to school it. These two lads with a dog, like a lovely, nice spring, a spaniel it's pitch black there as well Just walked out, not where they should be crossing, just behind two cars and I just turned in a row out of Santa breaks on. Did they say sorry? Did they look bothered? Did they even flinch? Did they fuck these? Look to me. I was like what? I was just bit stunned.
Speaker 2I was like are you alright?
Speaker 1like, and I just drove off, I could have run the wind. I thought no, because they had a dog.
Speaker 2I just, I just right, yeah, I know, I know, I know so wait is this your moment of the week? No, oh, the week.
Speaker 1We haven't done that yet.
Speaker 2We haven't done it, I know, so I talk about.
Speaker 1Panto, yet as well, I'm not even done that. So yeah, well, okay, let's do the moment of the week then, uh, surprisingly it's time for the moment of the week.
Speaker 2I don't want much in moment of the week. My moment of the week is I mean, this happens a lot and here we go. Women. It just no, it's not, it's not, it's both, but it just kind of like We've all done it to a point. But have you ever been with someone Right? No, no right.
Speaker 2That's what I thought. I was wondering that. And now we all know I've ever been with someone that like They've got a cold, yeah, and they start sniffing, all right, like really loudly, yeah, okay, anything that's done. And then they do it again and then again. So do you want a tissue? No, no, I'm okay, I'm okay. And they go again and again and like do you want a tissue? No, no, no, I'm fine. And they sniff again like you're not fine, you're not fine because that's starting to piss me off. I've the number of times I fucking honestly, I've just still know a lot of people thinking Just get a fucking tissue.
Speaker 1I know someone who Permanently sniffs and never carries a tissue ever, ever did ever sign his thing, though Is it like a no?
Speaker 2No, it's not. It's just like why don't you have a tissue? Do you want a tissue? No, I'm fine, you're not fine. Have a tissue. No, honestly, I'm all right. Fucking, take a tissue now. No, I'm fine, your life is in the balance here. Take a tissue. Like I don't. If that's just me, maybe I just get more. I just get angry about it. But like I just can't deal with it. I'm like Please, please, stop fucking sniffing. It is winding me up to fuck. Like again, I've done it myself for you shortly. Like oh crap, I don't have a tissue, but I'm at least looking for one. Or if you've ever been out in the country, you go. I'll just take a leaf and like blow my nose in a leaf, Right, what have?
Speaker 2you done that.
Speaker 1Uh, I've wiped my ass with a leaf or two happy. Yeah, I grew up in the country. Of course I did.
Speaker 2Man times you like. Did you check it?
Speaker 1They didn't have bugs in it or anything. I was a dog walker for nine years. I was out in the middle of woods and stuff and every now and again you get caught short. You think, well, doc, leafs, it's gonna be.
Speaker 2Oh, doc, leave the dot leaf is a great. It's a great thing, isn't it? The nettle and the dot leaf.
Speaker 1You know, I think it's a myth, don't it?
Speaker 2I don't know, because I put them on and for me, what I always thought was a kid, it made it feel better. I don't really know. Let's be honest. I just always think if I don't have a tissue, I'm looking for one. I'm looking for a way to blow my nose, to stop other people just walk around the whole time and they might go sorry, sniff again, sorry, keep going. It's like you're not sorry. That's like me punching the face and saying sorry continuously, but but keeping on doing it.
Speaker 1Hey talking. I just don't get it. Do you ever do that thing with them oak tree leaves where you would like get a leaf, and then you strip out the actual leaf in between the spines that look like a fish bone? Oh yes, you've even the bottom in the top and you have the head and the tail and it's usually for painting or something.
Speaker 2Oh, what Do you paint over it?
Speaker 1or spray paint over it. No, no, I don't have any materials with me. I was just in a field but I Forgot to take my paint set with me. But I was just walking a dog. They were used to do that at school. I'm pretty sure it's like an oak tree or so, or the trees you get conquers from. Whatever that one is Chestnut tree, obviously. Yeah just nuts a conkers up there.
Speaker 2Are they not? Oh, my fucking brain is going. I've known it.
Speaker 1I do this with a sound so fucking illiterate, fucking not. What is it right it?
Speaker 2is a chestnut tree.
Speaker 1The horse is a horse chestnut, it's horse chestnut.
Speaker 2That's the one, yeah, yeah because the chestnut is the one you eat. I was thinking well, that's not the same, if you look up a European horse chestnut tree.
Speaker 1Those leaves. You can strip out those bits in Between it looks like a fishbone. Hours of fun back in the 90s.
Speaker 2Fucking hell, mate, you grew up in like there I was making a leaf fish. Brilliant. Who needed a fucking SNES and a 42 pound game when you can get a leaf and strip it? Kids, this is what you're missing out on.
Speaker 1And then go and have a shit in the woods and take some more leaves with you.
Speaker 2It was great get some leaves like realize you've just put like some bug up your backside. Didn't waste my summers. No, I can see Fucking hell.
Speaker 1Glossy shit. I'll tell you what missed out if those, if those woods could talk.
Speaker 2Did you remember where you left the leaves? Because, like you, could have been rolling around them another time. Why do we smell of shit?
Speaker 1Are you throwing the river? I did no, you got something. I would twenzy be close to the river or not, but um yeah, I'm a local deer. Yeah, well, I didn't take him with me. I don't have a bag or anything, I just left him there, but you know.
Speaker 2So what I might, as I'm on you like the litter tray, yeah, go shit in the litter tray.
Speaker 1Actually listens up. Women. This is. She was just like you know, I'm really still chuckled about that.
Speaker 2Just don't get up and go look at.
Speaker 1Little boys, little boys there firmed up with his there. This is still. Was it good size?
Speaker 2Okay, we'd better be like diarrhea something and cover over as well the litter.
Speaker 1So that's like.
Speaker 2If you didn't realize, we bet you called the vet and everything.
Speaker 1Looks like he's just shut out alone. Um no, I agree with you, though. I agree with you with the sipping thing, my um my moment of the week is uh, I actually related to my, uh, my missus, I don't mean to have a family.
Speaker 2Oh really, I thought I was joking. Yeah, yeah no, it's.
Speaker 1She does this thing and other people do these things, this thing as well, which I find really, really irritating. I'll call Her up on the phone or she'll call me up.
Speaker 2That was a very strange way of saying that. I'll call. I'll call Her up on the phone.
Speaker 1I make this statement that I call her up on the phone. Uh, no, I called her up on the phone, yeah, uh, or she'll call me and it might be. You know, sometimes around here reception's not like great. So I'll go hello and she'll go hello. I'm like hello, she's like hello and I'm going Hello and she's like hello and I'm like, stop saying hello, like, if you can hear me, don't? Your next word should not be hello.
Challenges and Frustrations With Communication
Speaker 1If you've said hello and I've said hello and you can hear me, then start the conversation. If you keep saying hello, I think you can't hear me. So then I say hello back, which then makes you think you can't hear me. Oh my god, it's like just talk Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello. Ah, it does my fucking tips in and I just, if you say hello to me and I say hello to you oh great, we've both heard each other or or go hello, hello, sorry, I can't hear you. Are you there? Great, fine, we know where we're at. It's like, it's like the, it's like the being on, mute, on, zoom in it like the old day, it's like yeah, but surely she could say the same thing, no.
Speaker 1Yeah too, yeah, but yeah fair she could.
Speaker 2But what I'm saying is I do know what you mean, though I'm going, but there's a difference in the intonation.
Speaker 1She's going hello, I'm like hello. She's like hello, I'm like. Oh yeah, hello, she's like hello, I'm like hello, it's like it's a different thing. I'm going yes, hello, and then I go Can you hear me? She's like hello. I'm like. She's like yeah, but I can hear you. I'm like oh, my like. If she can't hear me, it's a different story, but she can hear me and it's not just her, let me know, let me know.
Speaker 1Oh my god, just my fucking tips in. I'm just saying hello and then say hello, great, what do you want? Let's go on with the conversation, not that we ever do. Anyway, that's another story.
Speaker 2So also by the end of it, you just don't want to say anything and we just can't have you bother finishing the conversation. Yeah, I'll just say goodbye and put the phone there. Yeah.
Speaker 1No, I do that, though sometimes sounds awful, but I just go if it's a, if there's four or five, hello's, I'm like Phones down.
Speaker 2Yeah, call me back then, thank you, I've done it to my dad before, like that's really bad. But my dad's like, well, oh, my mum was well in the past and like I've got into like a similar kind of pattern of they can't quite hear me. Can you hear me? Yeah, can you hear me? Yeah, okay, so can you hear me? I'm like, yes, I can hear you. I'm trying to tell them something, can you hear me? I was like, yeah, can you not hear me? Yeah, I can hear you. What the fuck are you asking me? Then? If you can hear me, what Am I a driver? Then I'm just like mum, you can hear me? Yes, right, this is what I'm saying. She started saying, oh, I didn't think you could hear me for so I started to give me an explanation about the whole conversation we've just had that. I know the explanation. I got it from the context. I understood from the can you hear me? Can you hear me? You don't need to then tell me you couldn't hear me. I got it.
Speaker 1I know.
Speaker 2But I was just fucking yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 1Absolutely. This is a small moan, but it's that you know, and it's you know. It's like you say that, but it's irritating.
Speaker 2It's fucking irritating. It's the only irritating, because I know that I can be heard.
Speaker 1That's my moan of the week whatever. What about you then? So what have you got planned? What's your new year going to be? Let me guess You're going to go to the gym. Do you have some spin?
Speaker 2I'm going to do some spin tomorrow morning.
Speaker 1I can tell you now.
Speaker 2It's the last thing I want to do right now. I've got a new class. People want to come boot camp. It was fun.
Speaker 1I'm sorry to take it back to myself, by the way, but I've just thought of something really funny. I should have told you. I think I have told you, but it has to go on the podcast, because we're very honest on this podcast, thinking about your hair situation that you don't have any hair now, no, and we're talking about being in our 40s. So there's quite a few of us in this partner that are in our 40s and then there's obviously quite a few that are in their 20s and I'm there as the prince Fucking. I mean, that's a stretch that's supposed to cost you.
Discussion on Makeup and Self-Image
Speaker 1But you know, I'm like geez, I'm playing opposite this 24 year old. He's like acting through a fucking, through a life. Do you want me to pretend that she fancies me? Anyway, whatever, I found that I hit one of those moments where I was like, oh shit, I'm in the middle age. Now I'm there playing the prince. I had to go and buy a little bit of a darker foundation to make my skin even out a little bit. I had to draw on my eyebrows because they're fucking disappearing at a rate of knots with the fucking eyebrows. Obviously, you do the normal eyeliner to bring your half over half your eye bring it out.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1But then I had to get the wardrobe girl, who's lovely, to take me off into the ladies' toilet, which sounds great, but it wasn't for that reason, and spraying my hair on with some root oil. No, she suggested it. She went go to boots and get this stuff. I was saying about my hair. So obviously when I do the first thing as the prince, I have to then turn up stage and be in a freeze and I thought I'm gonna be feeling really fucking conscious of my fucking bald spot and everything else going on, double crown and all that shit.
Speaker 1She was really lovely. She said go to boots and get this stuff. It's like a root spray, so when people have got dyed hair and their roots coming through, it just helps cover it back in again. But it also covers your scalp. I thought, oh, what if you get sweaty? Anyway, I went and got this one. It was like a L'Oreal one, quite expensive, but then also in Savers and this other place they had this cheap one, so four quid. It's the one I got first cause I didn't have the other one. That was the best one. Anyway, she sprayed it on over the back so it covered my bald spot, covered all the top of the hair and the front and you're up close, you could probably pretty much see it near enough. But it and then you spray it on, dry it, hairspray over the top of it, underneath it, over the top of it, and then even when I got in the shower until I put shampoo on, it didn't come out, it didn't run.
Speaker 2I remember that stuff. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1And I'm honestly thinking I'm gonna start using it in my real life. It just gave me so much more confidence on stage to go. Okay, fine, it doesn't. You know, I look like I've got more hair than I do. And so there I am with my fucking sprayed on hair, drawn on eyebrows like fake fucking colored skin. But then, even then, I'm trying to fucking do a few contours and I'm looking in the mirror and all it's doing is like accentuating all the fucking wrinkles, the laughter lines. I'm just like that's it now. Really, I can't even fucking make it myself.
Speaker 2If you think about it, that's what women do all the time.
Speaker 1Yeah, I know, but you don't realise, do you? We?
Speaker 2don't do it. We just kind of go on like, oh well, we're starting to look shit and blah blah, whereas girls like I'm looking shit, so I'm gonna like fucking paste this on, shovel that on, stretch that back, tape that up, shove that in, stick that on and we all go, wow, they look amazing, they're kind of they're made to do it.
Speaker 1You know, not made to, but there's a societal pressure, whereas, like for men, it's not so much, but then you, Well, I guess say that yeah, there is to a point.
Speaker 2But at the same time I think most girls kind of like thing is. We always say that girls dress for each other. Do you know what I mean? They dress to impress other girls. Like if a girl comes up to you and says, do you like my shoes, you go sure.
Speaker 1They wear shoes because they like them.
Speaker 2Yeah, I love that no, but you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1yeah, but do you really love them? Have you ever gone up to a girl and gone? Oh, I love your shoes. I like your outfit, or are you like? Your head is nice today. Exactly, I do it all the fucking time, and so do lots of other guys. It's you guys going. Oh fucking so do that to anyone.
Speaker 2Yeah, but you do it, but not because you mean it, because you're trying to be nice. I do mean it. Oh fucking hell, do you hear that? What?
Speaker 1the fuck was that? That was me trying to go. Hi, hi, bitch, how do you mean it Me? Yeah, there, fucking hell, it turned out to be Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 2Yeah, but you mean it in a roundabout kind of way, but you couldn't tell me people can't say like, oh, I love your, whatever shoes, they are, from whatever designer, whereas like my partner can be like oh my God, I love your shoes, are they blah, blah, blah? You do that. And she always mentioned every fucking designer going everywhere they're from. Like I can't do that.
Speaker 1I had loads of times, even in the pantry, I go oh you're makeup doesn't look nice today, your hair looks nice today.
Speaker 2I just notice things like that and I you're just like yeah, I might notice it, but I might do.
Speaker 1you know what I'm gonna say it fuck it.
Speaker 2No, why would I say it? I'll say it if it's necessary.
Speaker 1Women are only dressing for other women, fuck them.
Speaker 2But they are like girls say this. I've heard this from girls like it's not my expression. I've heard that women say women dress because it's other women that appreciate it. But this is my point because they were looking. Go, oh my God, you spent so much time doing that. I love that dress. Where'd you get it from? Love the the number of times I partner get stopped in freaking pubs going oh, where'd you get that dress? I love it. I love your shoes. Like you, don't walk up to a guy and go, mate, you smell amazing. Where's your aftershock from? Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1I've done that too. Girls do that all the time, but like, so that's like yeah, but when you're trying to, when you're trying to, I mean, I was cast as a prince, so it's probably my own insecurity, but I'm like I'm thinking I'm playing the opposite of 24 year old. I'm trying to look as young as I can, so it actually reads a bit better and just feel confident, you know, because.
Speaker 1I've got to do the transformation and take off this bloody head wig and a bloody mask and your hair if I didn't put hairspray on. I think I'd look like a fucking Alopecia boy. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2It'd just be like transformation hasn't worked. You're worried that the audience is still waiting for the transformation. There's no clap.
Speaker 1They will be checking the program. It's going hang on. I didn't think we were watching Phantom. Let me have a quick look fucking off, yeah, it is be.
Speaker 2When's this transformation coming, because I'm sure this happens in the base.
Speaker 1Oh, for fuck's sake. Yeah, so that was a bit of a sobering moment when I'm just sitting there going, oh great, so this is me now.
Speaker 2Once you shave your head like when people do, I mean once, like heads are shaved you don't feel that anymore because your entire head is a bald spot. Yeah, I just don't quite there yet. No, no, no, I may, no, I am, though.
Speaker 1I mean, I took a picture off of my head the other day and I showed my moustache. I went look at that, look at it. She went, but she said the same as other people. She said, yeah, but you're really tall, people don't see it. I went I have to sit down. I'm not gonna stand up for the rest of my fucking life. I'm gonna go on stage. She went, yeah, but she's trying to make me feel better. I went, look at it. I was like what I said? I said I'm only gutter than not doing the Hamlet adverts anymore, because I'd be fucking quidzin'. You remember them, the fucking Scottish guy with the comb over. Remember that, yeah.
Speaker 2In the photo booth and every time we took the flash of the fucking hair before then and he kept there's that time for a hamlet, Hamlet adverts. Yeah, Hamlet adverts.
Speaker 1I feel like I'm getting closer to that now, but, like you know, it's fine, I'm gonna have to do something about it.
Speaker 2Can you please do a comb over? Please, generally, please, I really want you to.
Speaker 1I fucking do when I go out. That's my hairstyle, as you remember, used to be short on the sides and then spiky and sort of messy, like bedhead-y type kind of thing, and bit sort of comfy you used to buy.
Speaker 2you used to buy that thing that said bedhead on it.
Speaker 1Yeah, bedhead and like or quickly that was my style all the way through the sort of like noughties and into the, you know, as I got older. So no, it's a fucking comb over. I've gone back to when I was 12, I mean then, roger Moore, fucking haircut Cause that's all I can fucking get away with. It's fucking mortifying. And I did that. You know, I sat in that hairdressers a few months ago last year and he did my hair and I just wanted to cry and almost did cry and I said, look, just take it all off. So he shaved it all off and I looked at it and I was like this is horrendous.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, we spoke yeah we spoke about it and I just I can't. I haven't got to the point yet where I can just go. Karen's just gonna go, go bold. I'm starting to think about you know what you had. If I had the money, I'd be happy doing that.
Speaker 2You think so. You think so until you do it.
Speaker 1No but I know people who do it and they've got it and they're quite happy doing it. But it's just.
Speaker 2if you make the decision, you For me it was more of a like we talked in the previous podcast. It was definitely a I was hiding, I didn't.
Speaker 1I don't like hiding, we do what Mrs said about that. So I went oh, you know, there's the whole thing. I'd have one of them, I'd love one of them. She went, you're joking on you. She went who are you? I was like, oh thanks, she went on stage. So she went, you'd be fucking, you'd be worried about it all the time. I was like, yeah, I know, I said, but I just feel like you know, I can have a different hairstyle every week At first she feels really good.
Speaker 2You're like, oh my God, I've got my hair back. This is amazing.
Speaker 1And then you know there's a couple of people I know had hair transplants and they have a different hairstyle, but then they can't. I won't mention their name because it's not a public thing, but I know somebody had two hair transplants one for the front, one for the back, at different points and it's all gone well and fine, got the hair, but they now can't have a shaved side of the heads because it shows up where they've had the pattern.
Speaker 2It shows the scar.
Speaker 1Yeah, so they've had it slightly longer, slightly longer. But I was like I could deal with that, but it's like two and a half grand, three grand each fucking hair transplant and it's not the nicest.
Speaker 2Oh, then some, yeah, depending where, you're going, so again, can't you? Yeah, you can just go again and it might look kind of crap.
Speaker 1I think I'm going to go down the the Banksy route and spray my hair on for the recipe line like a Lego man. The one thing I did hate about the Panto is my final finale like walk down costume at the wedding.
Speaker 2Was it gold?
Speaker 1No, it was green and gold, but I just look like a fucking I don't know. I look like, you know, one of those green boxes that have all the telephone wires and stuff in it. You see people working on that for BT, for the broadband.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1I don't know about the size of that. This part of the show which I was in the costume which I felt the biggest in, felt shittest in, was a bit. They went now it's time to get your phones out and film it and put it on social media Great. So going on social media with this like sprayed on flat hair, with this big chunky fucking like the dad out of dinosaurs, as I said before, so that was good fun, but absolutely.
Speaker 2All in all a positive experience.
Speaker 1It wasn't that she really was, I didn't care that much in the end, but because it was really lovely feedback, good reviews, everything else and stuff. So anyway, so that's that's my fun times. While we're here, let's we need to say again we don't say this enough on this podcast but if you're listening to this podcast, you've got this far and you love it and you want us to listen to every week. Thank you very much for listening. Can you also please do us a massive favor and share on social media, tell your friends, get it out there like it, rate it, everything else, because it's really difficult If you can share it and get it out there, because we're not great on social media, as we've discovered. We're pretty shit.
Speaker 1I'm awful we had all the big plans to get social media going this and we've done fuck all because we don't know what we're doing. I'm getting slowly better at it, but it's going to be a long, a long journey. We did have our theme tune played on the Golden Globes. Will Ferrell and Christina Wigg dance to it and I shared that and nothing game of that.
Speaker 2Weird. I really thought that Will Ferrell would get in touch.
Speaker 1Yeah, I thought he would as well, but he didn't. He didn't, and we mentioned him as well on the previous podcast.
Speaker 2We did. I thought we were there with Elf. I thought we were being good.
Speaker 1But yeah, if you can like, share or I don't know, you do that on your podcast, but just tell your mates, I don't know. Tell everyone you know, because word of mouth is the way forward and the more people we can get listening then the more chance we can get of actually getting some ads on it and people making it bigger and better, and then getting the video, getting some guests, getting the producer trying to tighten it all up a bit, just like my body.
Speaker 1Don't tell your friends about that because that's fucking horrendous. No one will come and watch that. But yeah, there we go. So that was episode six. I don't know what that's going to be like. No idea. We've done it in three bits because of cats.
Speaker 2No idea yeah.
Speaker 1Recordings and coughs, and.
Speaker 2Cats coughing and recordings and all sorts of things.
Speaker 1That's what we can call the episode. Cats, coughs and cocks. Cats coughs and COVID. Cats, coughs and costumes.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1Could be that, who knows? Anyway, should we finish with our pearl of wisdom.
Speaker 2Okay, okay, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to 40 plus and minuses 2024, second of the year, first one we're recording pearl of wisdom.
Speaker 1If the beast isn't wearing gloves, take off your niggas. That's too much. I was saying that that's not doing how to.
Speaker 2Oh, you have to do that one.
Speaker 1If the beast isn't wearing gloves, the bread will be sliced. Sure, I'll leave you on that and I'm going to go in Cool cough and cut. Is that probably I'm going to have a shit in the litter train. I'll see you later. I'm going to find a leaf.
Speaker 2Have fun, see you later. Bye.
