Matt (00:07):
Hello and welcome to the next in Stillman of Atlantic
Exchange.
Good afternoon slash morning.
Jerry,
Jerry (00:16):
Morning, Matt.
Matt (00:18):
you know what?
I thought you were just gonnanod and not say anything.
I thought this is an audiopodcast.
You can't be nodding on apodcast.
Okay.
We need audio input.
Luckily, you did respond, butyou started off with a nod and I
thought,
Jerry (00:28):
Well.
Matt (00:28):
be visually noted.
Jerry (00:30):
Well, to be fair, I I, I, I figured there would be some
visuals, right?
Which is why I wore this Mickeyhat.
So for any American corporationsout there, this could be you to
our three, four listeners thatwanna promote their brand.
Matt (00:45):
Three or four
Jerry (00:46):
This is this, this is what you would get right here.
Matt (00:48):
Yeah, let just turn my mic down a bit.
I think we've got a bit audioclip in there.
Yeah.
Three to four.
You are, you are a, uh,optimistic man.
That's what I like on a Friday
Jerry (00:56):
am.
Matt (00:56):
Optimism.
Um.
Jerry (00:58):
It's the American way.
Matt (00:59):
Now I would say that we haven't spoken for a week, but
that wouldn't be true because Idrunk called you last night,
didn't I?
You were my, uh,
Jerry (01:05):
You did.
Matt (01:06):
you were my, uh, like my booty call really?
Weren't you?
Jerry (01:09):
That's right.
That's right.
Matt (01:11):
Yeah.
Which
Jerry (01:11):
You had a, a mouthful of mouthful of Burger King as I was
trying to understand the wordyou were trying to get out.
Matt (01:16):
But no fries.
No fries.
'cause uh,
Jerry (01:19):
No fries.
They charged you the same for,for a burger and a drink.
Matt (01:24):
the argument I had was
Jerry (01:24):
I.
Matt (01:25):
a, a meal.
And, uh, he just gave me theburger and a drink, and I was
like, well, where's my fries?
We're at fries.
I was like, well, you didn'ttell me that when I ordered.
And he charged me.
He goes, no, no, I haven'tcharged you for fries.
So I looked to my receipt andthat the cost of a burger with a
drink was about 20 p less thanit was for a whole meal.
I was like, well, technicallyyou're right, but fuck you, you.
Jerry (01:46):
Yeah.
What, what?
What happened to the upsell, youknow?
Matt (01:49):
yeah.
You call yourself BurgerRoyalty.
Well, I'm afraid you're not.
See, yeah.
I suppose it maybe in Americathere'd be upsetting some extra
stuff, like onion rings.
This guy was the end of hisshift.
He really
Jerry (02:01):
Right, right.
Yeah.
And he's, he's dealing with a,with a drunken Brit that's just
sort of had probably eight, ninepints.
Matt (02:10):
Not even that many, but yeah.
So how's your week
Jerry (02:15):
Fair.
It's been good, man.
Just been traveling for work.
I was in the beautiful city ofLas Vegas.
Matt (02:21):
Is a beautiful city.
Jerry (02:22):
Uh, it's, yes, we've been many times great time.
Uh, really just focused onconferences and then visited
clients in Texas.
Matt (02:31):
See, we might as well talk about Vegas for a bit'cause as
you say, we've been a few
Jerry (02:35):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (02:37):
I think it is a beautiful city, but I'm not sure if
beauty's the right word.
It's, it's an expensive city.
And for anyone that's
Jerry (02:44):
It is an expensive city, but I find the beauty in it, you
know.
Matt (02:49):
Yeah, I mean, uh, can you move your mic a little bit away
from your mouth as well, um, toget some audio
Jerry (02:55):
How about there?
Yeah,
Matt (02:55):
Yeah, that's better.
Yeah,
Jerry (02:57):
yeah, yeah.
We can, we can edit that out.
Matt (02:58):
city.
Anyone that's not been, I dorecommend you go, um, at least
once in your life.
Um,
Jerry (03:04):
Oh, absolutely.
Matt (03:05):
every time I've been there, I think I counted, I've
been there 10 times.
I've always gone.
This the last time I were gonnacome here, but here I go.
Here we.
Jerry (03:13):
What's what?
What do you guys have there?
Because'cause Crockfords is outright in London, that that no
longer exists.
Matt (03:21):
As in what do we have that's now equivalent to Vegas?
Jerry (03:24):
Well, just any casinos at all?
Was it Stratford?
Matt (03:26):
See?
Yeah, so casinos are verydifferent though in uk.
So a lot of them, a majority of'em have a membership scheme.
So you have to be a member.
It could be free to join, butyou just have to join.
Um, some do allow walk-ins, butthey're limited.
It's'cause they just, they don'tgive out the casino license.
That easily.
So there there's
Jerry (03:45):
Right.
Matt (03:46):
and more opening up.
Like I say, we've been to one inStrat with that.
I had that sort of Vegas feel.
There's a couple in London.
but yeah, they're not, uh,there's no free drinks.
Not like when you go in Vegas,you've just gotta
Jerry (03:56):
That's terrible.
That's the,
Matt (03:58):
There's no free drinks.
You have to pay for all
Jerry (03:59):
yeah.
Matt (04:00):
while you're gambling in the uk and that's, that's why I
just stick to gambling onlineand scratch cards.
Now it's just safer,
Jerry (04:06):
We, we have a really fun topic to discuss today that I'm,
I'm very excited to get to.
Matt (04:11):
Yes, today we're gonna discuss TV programs.
So obviously with the, the, Isee the invention of Netflix.
It wasn't the invention.
Now, uh,
Jerry (04:22):
Right, right,
Matt (04:23):
the same.
We'd be watching the samecontent, back in the day,
programs would be American andprograms would be English and
had a very different feel.
Um.
Jerry (04:30):
right.
Matt (04:30):
And I think let's, let's address the, the elephant in the
room here.
So it is, it's probably knownthat UK series lengths run times
are a lot shorter than a USSeries
Jerry (04:40):
Four or five episodes.
Matt (04:41):
six.
The standard is six, so sixepisodes.
The US it's like 20.
Is that about
Jerry (04:49):
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Matt (04:50):
I mean, and also we don't run for many series as well, so
you take the, the officeobviously that's a good example
here,
Jerry (04:58):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (04:59):
UK and us.
The uk I think there was threeseries of it and then a
Christmas special, and
Jerry (05:06):
Right.
Matt (05:07):
Um,
Jerry (05:10):
The, the US version of the office is nine Seasons.
Matt (05:13):
nine seasons.
I thought it was 10.
Was it
Jerry (05:16):
Yeah.
And now there's a spinoff
Matt (05:18):
Yes,
Jerry (05:18):
called the paper.
Matt (05:19):
that.
Yes,
Jerry (05:19):
Yeah.
Which was fantastic as well.
Matt (05:21):
yeah.
It's, it's not the office now.
happened Great.
Here is the US office translatedperfectly.
It's, it became, its differentshow.
I think
Jerry (05:31):
Right, right.
Matt (05:32):
I don't watch it and think, oh, I'm watching version
of something.
Jerry (05:36):
Mm-hmm.
Matt (05:36):
I watched the Australian office,
Jerry (05:40):
Oh, I haven't seen that yet.
Matt (05:41):
um.
That just seems like it's a copyof the US one.
It it had that, like, that sortof fill
Jerry (05:48):
Right.
Matt (05:49):
the, the UK and the us they're very different shows.
Um, yeah, I mean I Love USOffice.
Um, I, you might say it's notcalled the US office, but I'm
gonna call it the US office sowe can distinguish'em.
It's definitely up there as oneof my top shows and it's one of
those things where there's, youknow, shows become cult when you
can just quote parts of a showand people
Jerry (06:09):
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (06:11):
we constantly are quoting different parts from the office.
Jerry (06:14):
Yeah, likewise.
It's, it's, it's my favoriteshow of all time.
Openly.
I've been to a ton of officetrivia.
That's, that's a question that Ihad for you as well.
Uh, are there trivia nightscentered around certain shows at
like your local pub?
Matt (06:29):
Yeah, there are, there's not loads.
I've been in London.
I've seen a, a US office trivianight.
Jerry (06:35):
Okay.
Matt (06:36):
friend's one.
Um.
But yeah, not, not Lowe's, butI, I did a, a US trivia, a US
office trivia on YouTube.
I think it's 10 questions.
I think I've got one.
Right.
And it's like,'cause when you'vegot, when you've got, I mean, I,
you are looking at what, 400episodes
Jerry (06:58):
Yeah.
Matt (06:58):
Yeah.
How are you
Jerry (06:59):
That's a new record for you, one, right?
Matt (07:02):
I'm not gonna know, I'm not gonna know everything that
happened in those, thoseepisodes.
And they were some reallyobscure questions.
So
Jerry (07:08):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (07:09):
a, uh, office trivia.
I, I'll just be coming out withlike one or two correct.
Jerry (07:16):
I, my, my main issue isn't even the length of, uh, of
British series, right?
If it's six episodes and maybethree seasons, that's, that's
not a big deal.
The issue is that a British showwill go unresolved, like it
just.
Matt (07:31):
Yeah.
Jerry (07:31):
It'll just, it'll just go unresolved, like nothing.
Hey, life sucks.
What are you gonna do?
Thanks for watching.
In the US it's like fat toblack, inspirational music.
Everyone hugs it out,
Matt (07:42):
Yeah, it every, it always closes off in the us in the uk
it'd be left and they will neverfinish it off.
Um, they a, a recent example ofthat was Gavin and Stacey now
that ran for, again, two orthree series.
They had a
Jerry (07:58):
right?
Matt (07:58):
they had a cup of Christmas special I think, but
they penultimate Christmasspecial and people thought that
was the end of it.
It was just left on acliffhanger, but they.
Jerry (08:05):
Yeah.
Matt (08:05):
was just gone.
They actually made anotherepisode they, they tied it all
up.
But yeah, it's very, it's, it'snot unknown that the UK series,
you're like, well, whathappened?
And that's frustrating, but
Jerry (08:17):
I hear you.
So
Matt (08:17):
that,
Jerry (08:19):
now I was gonna say, sometimes U UK shows also, I
feel like they pack so muchcontent into one season because
they know.
That they can't really extendit.
Matt (08:31):
yeah.
I mean, I find it that a lot of'em.
A lot of'em just, they don'textend past three, three series.
Some
Jerry (08:38):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (08:39):
sort of things.
Some do, they go on, but it'ssome of the major cult, uh,
series.
So let's go, uh, like inbetweeners in modern day,
Jerry (08:48):
Mm-hmm.
Fantastic show in betweeners.
Mm-hmm.
Matt (08:51):
they, they have like three series and even you think 40
towers, that's a, that's aclassic.
You might not have seen allepisodes, but you've seen clips
and you are aware of it.
Jerry (09:00):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (09:01):
episodes ever, but it's.
It's,
Jerry (09:04):
It's super quotable though.
Matt (09:05):
yeah, exactly.
But you would think that it'shad loads The fact how, how
worldwide known it is.
Jerry (09:12):
How do you, how do you feel about the laugh track?
So super common here.
Matt (09:17):
Yeah.
We don't have it so much now.
So
Jerry (09:19):
Yeah.
Matt (09:20):
they, that kind of disappeared early two thousands.
So in the nineties it was verymuch either laugh track or you'd
have a studio audience in therewatching it being
Jerry (09:29):
Yeah.
Matt (09:30):
Um.
And it, if you watch'em now, itfeels dated.
'cause I think I've got used togoing to or watching comedies
without it.
And I think kind of clocked ontothat was that was the way,'cause
like the office obviouslydoesn't have a laugh, tracks not
filmed in front of an audience
Jerry (09:47):
Right.
Matt (09:47):
they're going that way.
But yeah, if you watch a, youwouldn't, it's very rare to see
a comedy in the UK now with alaugh track or an audience.
I can't remember the last time Isaw a new one that had that.
Jerry (09:58):
Agreed.
I, I, I feel like my, my onlyother major observation and how
can I say this politely here,everyone looks like a model,
right?
All the actors, everyone in ashow in, in UK shows, just
regular folks are on screen.
Doing their thing.
(10:20):
Like even, even the nerdiestperson, right.
That or the homeless person onthe street is super handsome.
Right.
But, uh, but UK shows they, theywill choose someone that
properly fits that row,
Matt (10:33):
Yeah, so I think a good example of that is, is I say you
wanna call'em cop shows or
Jerry (10:38):
right?
Matt (10:39):
thrillers.
So in the UK they're, they'revery dark centered it's just,
you say it's a regular crew andthey police when you watch it in
the US
Jerry (10:48):
Oh dude, what was that?
What was that solid ass showthat you guys in the line of
duty?
Fantastic series.
Whoa.
Matt (10:56):
See, I haven't seen.
Now obviously there's somegreat, uh, I'm gonna call'em cop
shows, just so we know thegenre.
There's some great
Jerry (11:02):
Yeah.
Matt (11:02):
ones.
Um, obviously the y was apopular one.
Jerry (11:06):
Yeah.
Matt (11:07):
I'm not gonna put 24 in that bracket.
That's a different sort of show.
But yeah, they're very differentover there.
So when you watch, if I watchany US based shows like that, as
you say the, there's like a, amale or a female cop, she's
pretty much probably a model.
Could be a model, but she's alsoa policeman on the side, it
seems.
So it's like
Jerry (11:23):
Yeah.
Matt (11:23):
realism's not there, but it's just like in America, you
have to be a model to be on tv.
Jerry (11:28):
Yeah, it's, it's odd.
Also, I feel like outside ofstreaming, we're talking about
shows that are on cable tv.
Right.
UK shows might have some riskierwords.
You might hear a curse word hereand there.
Cable TV in the US especiallyprimetime.
Very rare that you'll hear anF-bomb or,
Matt (11:47):
yeah, yeah.
South Park bleeps.
Fuck doesn't it over there on
Jerry (11:50):
yes, it does, it does.
We'll bleep this for, uh, theyounger audience
Matt (11:54):
this?
Jerry (11:55):
and we bleeping the fuck.
Matt (11:57):
we're definitely
Jerry (11:58):
You know, let's let them all out and then let's let the
crowd guess what we're saying.
Matt (12:01):
Yeah.
Yeah.
This so I can figure out how tobleep, eh?
Jerry (12:07):
Exactly.
Matt (12:09):
Yeah.
I think, um.
Yeah, you can definitely drop anF on UK tv.
That's not a problem.
seems now we can drop
Jerry (12:16):
That's so wild.
Matt (12:18):
so,
Jerry (12:18):
You can drop the C.
Now, you guys have graduated tothe C word on tv,
Matt (12:22):
I think we're getting blurred is Netflix.
So obviously on Netflix
Jerry (12:25):
right?
Matt (12:25):
you can, I've watched programs and they say it, I'm
trying to think, then I've beenwatching American shows, so
let's, let's say, but maybethey're streaming.
So I was watching Peacemaker theother day, US show.
I think it's HBO, but I dunno ifit's on TV or it's on streaming.
But they dropped a
Jerry (12:44):
Mm-hmm.
Matt (12:45):
now.
But I dunno if it's actually ontv.
Do they bleep that out?
Jerry (12:49):
Right, right.
Matt (12:51):
I'm not sure.
So
Jerry (12:52):
Yeah.
Matt (12:53):
you'll
Jerry (12:53):
No, I hear you.
Matt (12:54):
like another great show.
Uh, obviously a great Americancomedy, always sunny in
Philadelphia.
Again, it's on like
Jerry (13:00):
Sensational.
Matt (13:01):
What you on?
17?
Jerry (13:02):
Yeah.
Matt (13:03):
Um.
Jerry (13:03):
Yeah.
I, I can't, I can't drink orangejuice without calling it
cocktail mix.
Matt (13:09):
Yeah, I cooked some GA the other day and I called it rum
ham, but I see they, I don't, Iwas gonna say, they've gone down
now, so the latest EP series,they're only sort of six
episodes, so they've, they'vejumped onto, this is how the
British do it.
But I think it's just'causethey're just doing other stuff
and they can't be botheredanymore.
Jerry (13:25):
It.
Obviously the US market has amonopoly just around Hollywood
and shows in general, how muchcontent would you say percentage
wise were you watching growingup?
That was UK versus us.
Now we watch a lot of UKcontent.
Again, because of streamingservices, it's available.
Matt (13:43):
isn't it?
Um,
Jerry (13:44):
Yeah.
Matt (13:45):
I would say, let's go back to the nineties and it's very
relatable to our younglisteners.
Um.
I was probably 75, 80% stuff.
But then there'd
Jerry (13:59):
Okay.
Matt (14:00):
stuff.
So we might have South, southPark was on friends, um, but
we'd get'em a lot later just'cause obviously the world was a
bigger place back then.
You couldn't stream it.
Jerry (14:08):
Right.
Matt (14:09):
like an episode of
Jerry (14:10):
That explains the rise in depression in the uk.
Matt (14:13):
So an episode of Friends that might be on in America,
we'd have to wait sort of sixmonths for it.
So.
Jerry (14:18):
Yeah, that's right.
Matt (14:19):
dunno if someone have to put it on a tape and bring it
over here.
I'm not sure.
But where now
Jerry (14:24):
I do.
Matt (14:25):
day.
Jerry (14:26):
Yeah, exactly.
I do.
Like when shows try totranslate, sort of like the
office or do you watch some ofthe newer shows, Matt?
So for the audience, I, I don'twant to age you may I, may I say
our ages.
Matt (14:40):
Uh, you can,
Jerry (14:42):
Alright.
I'm 35.
Matt (14:43):
and I'm 43.
Jerry (14:47):
Are we sure?
Matt (14:48):
I think so.
I'm not sure, but I'll
Jerry (14:49):
I think so.
We'll, we'll, we'll stick withit.
We'll stick with it.
Do you watch some of the newershows that, that have a direct
series in each country?
Like Love Island or Love isBlind?
Matt (14:59):
So reality shows, um,
Jerry (15:01):
Yes.
Matt (15:02):
I don't, I don't, I have watched them.
I've, I think I watched the veryfirst series of Love Is Blind.
I've seen married at FirstSight.
Jerry (15:11):
Right, right.
Matt (15:11):
have things like Love Island, but they're not my
go-to.
I think.
I think my time is limited, youknow, so I, I, I tend
Jerry (15:19):
I hear that.
Matt (15:20):
yeah, they, they, I'm not sure how they translate
differently.
I've never watched sort of adifferent versions of them.
You obviously do,'cause youspend all your time watching
that stuff, but, uh,
Jerry (15:29):
Well, I'm, I, I'm an irresponsible individual, so I,
I try to watch as much TV aspossible.
No, I, uh, it's just, I, thereason I mention it is reality
TV in the UK is so much betterhere in the us.
Folks are just tiptoeing aroundeach other.
That is not an option forwhatever reason.
In the uk, if there is an issue,if there's a concern, you're
gonna hear about it.
Matt (15:51):
Yeah.
Yeah, that's true.
There's, there's some well-knownfights on things like Big
Brother
Jerry (15:55):
Yeah.
Matt (15:56):
and uh, uh, what's the one that we had of, which is our
copy of Jersey Shore, um, Judy
Jerry (16:04):
Uh, Jordy Shore.
Matt (16:06):
shore.
Jerry (16:06):
I've seen, I've seen Jordy, sho.
It's not bad, but it's no JerseyShore.
Matt (16:09):
I think the first
Jerry (16:10):
May, may, maybe it's 'cause I'm from Jersey.
Matt (16:12):
yeah, that's like your home series really, isn't it?
Yeah.
Jerry (16:14):
Yeah.
Did you watch the Jersey Shoreat all?
Matt (16:17):
I've never seen Jersey Shore.
No.
Jerry (16:20):
It's wonderful.
Matt (16:22):
How far from where you are, is it based?
Jerry (16:26):
An hour, maybe less, 45 minutes.
Matt (16:28):
it's not
Jerry (16:28):
Yeah.
So I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm pretty,I'm pretty centered to, yeah,
no, the Atlantic City's a bitmore south.
Uh, but as you know, I'm, I'msort of in the center of the
beach in Manhattan.
Matt (16:38):
We covered ies, we covered thrillers.
Um, yeah, I mean, here's anotherthing.
So have you ever watched stufffrom another country, another
language?
Do you put the subtitles on ordo you change the audio?
Jerry (16:51):
Well, I feel like now I put the subtitles on, even if
it's in English.
I don't know.
I.
I don't, I, I feel like Netflixgot so many people accustomed to
just having the, uh, thesubtitles on.
But it's, to answer yourquestion, one of my favorite
movies of all time is parasite,uh, the Korean sort of drama
thriller.
Matt (17:10):
Yeah, so I haven't seen it.
So I watched, obviously Iwatched Squeak Game like
everyone else.
Jerry (17:14):
Of course.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (17:15):
it was till first couple of episodes.
I didn't even realize that.
The original version though.
Was she speaking in Korean?
I just thought they just filmedit in English though.
That's how in my small centeredworld I am.
I'm just, well they probablyjust filmed it in English.
It's fine
Jerry (17:29):
The, uh, the third season, the third season's gonna
be in America.
It'll be in Los Angeles.
Matt (17:34):
Uh, yes.
Yeah.
So that's like a spinoff nowit's squid game at LA
Jerry (17:38):
Right, right.
Matt (17:39):
Well yeah.
Not getting away the ending foranyone's not watched it, but
yeah, they, they've
Jerry (17:43):
Yeah.
Matt (17:44):
game LA and
Jerry (17:46):
Well, we can give away some info.
Matt (17:47):
Yeah.
Jerry (17:48):
of them die.
Matt (17:49):
Yeah.
All but one.
Jerry (17:51):
Yeah.
All but one die, which is apretty British.
Matt (17:56):
Yeah.
But it wraps up.
It does, it wraps up.
So
Jerry (17:58):
It does wrap up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There, there's a, there's aproper ending.
Matt (18:03):
what is your, so at the moment, obviously Korean culture
is quite big at the moment.
Um, and obviously you have a, ayoung daughter.
Are you, is your house justplaying K-pop demon hunters on
repeat or.
Jerry (18:13):
Now.
It's actually playing a verypopular, uh, British show.
Nonstop.
Matt (18:20):
What's
Jerry (18:20):
Can you guess what that is?
Pep Pig.
Matt (18:22):
Oh, okay.
Yes.
Yeah, I think, I think
Jerry (18:26):
And that that is one rude little girl.
Matt (18:29):
She's a bit entitled, isn't she?
Jerry (18:31):
A a bit is, uh, a bit is carrying a lot of weight in that
sentence.
Matt (18:36):
So what you're saying is Pepper just needs a good slap.
Just sort that child out.
Jerry (18:40):
Oh man.
Just a solid timeout.
Something, I don't know, maybeboarding school.
Matt (18:45):
Maybe, yeah, I, I, I don't think they're gonna do like a
really dark
Jerry (18:49):
I.
Matt (18:49):
of Pepper Pig where she, you know, she gets beaten up or
abused or anything like that.
I don't think that's on thehorizon.
Jerry (18:55):
I think the parents should consider adoption, like
giving her up for adoption.
Matt (19:00):
Yeah.
Um,
Jerry (19:02):
That's, that's, that's my solution.
Matt (19:05):
I, I, they seems very hands off parenting.
I mean, the, the dad, I don'tthink, what have I seen him do?
He's, he's either working orhe's off playing football.
I don't think he
Jerry (19:16):
Right, right, right.
Matt (19:17):
he's just, he's, he's zoned out at this, this point of
his family life, hasn't he?
He's just, uh, he's got a
Jerry (19:24):
It, I mean.
Matt (19:24):
say the word dinosaur.
Mommy pig's upstairs working,but I don't see her bringing
home the money.
I think he's, he's doing it all.
So it's just, I, I
Jerry (19:34):
Where, where would you, where, where would you align
the, the, the Peppa Pig family?
Do, do you think they're moresort of like south, like
Londonish area or they're,they're proper geezers,
Matt (19:46):
Well, considering they're pigs that are not real, it's
very hard to actually.
Sort of regionalize a fictional
Jerry (19:52):
right?
Matt (19:53):
Uh, they've obviously got like, pepper Peak has very, a
very posh accent.
Like she, she's
Jerry (19:57):
She does, she does.
Matt (19:58):
she obviously goes to some sort of public school or
something.
Um.
But it's a strange land as well.
I mean, the whole land of pepperpig, wherever it is.
I mean, they're all very,they're very lazy.
No one does any work apart from,uh, Mrs.
What's her name?
Mrs.
Rabbit.
She's,
Jerry (20:12):
Yeah.
Matt (20:13):
She's taking everyone's job.
She's, she's coming over theretaking everyone's job.
No one else seems to be doinganything, and they seem, they
seem okay with it.
So I dunno how they're gettingtheir
Jerry (20:22):
Okay.
So, so essentially you'resaying, uh, it's Liverpool,
Manchester.
Got it.
Matt (20:27):
Just watch now.
Northern, Northern customers
Jerry (20:29):
Yeah,
Matt (20:29):
for tuning.
Thanks for tuning.
Jerry (20:31):
exactly.
Thanks for tuning in.
Matt (20:32):
Yeah,
Jerry (20:33):
Everyone in Northern England.
Matt (20:35):
It's, it's definitely a British, uh, seaside town.
Um,
Jerry (20:38):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (20:39):
Yeah.
I mean, maybe think for anotherepisode, but, but regionally
it's like, it's, think that a, aseaside town would be a nice
extravagant area, but sometimesyou go to'em and you think, ah,
I'm gonna leave quickly.
I think this isn't for me.
Jerry (20:53):
What, what's Brighton is what, like three, four blocks of
like solid hotels?
Matt (20:58):
yeah, so Bri Brighton's different, there's some that
obviously they're, they're toobig to foul, but some of the
smaller
Jerry (21:02):
Right?
Right.
Matt (21:03):
tourism moved away from Britain, so these all built on
tourism.
just nothing there from now.
Uh, it's, they're very dead, butyeah.
Brighton, you've always wantedto go.
Brighton.
Every time you come out, you go,let's go bright and let's go
bright.
And I
Jerry (21:16):
Yeah,
Matt (21:17):
what you've got in your head, what you're expecting, but
it's, it's nice, but it's notgonna be.
Jerry (21:23):
definitely.
I wanna go for the gay bars.
No, uh, I just, uh, I, I, I didhear that about Brighton.
There's a ton of, ton of gaybars.
Um.
Matt (21:31):
a capital of England
Jerry (21:33):
Yeah,
Matt (21:34):
Hmm.
Jerry (21:34):
that makes sense why you're there once a month.
But what I would add is theyalso have a casino, from my
understanding.
Matt (21:39):
Probably.
Yeah.
Jerry (21:41):
Yeah.
Yeah.
And uh, it should, it has to,it's a, it's the seaside town
Matt (21:45):
It's
Jerry (21:46):
the uk.
Matt (21:46):
Yeah.
I mean
Jerry (21:47):
Yeah.
Matt (21:48):
there's, if you think of Seaside Towns, you've got
Blackpool, that's another placeyou'd like to visit.
That's, that's the
Jerry (21:53):
Yeah.
Matt (21:53):
we're talking, we circle background now.
So the Vegas of the UK is
Jerry (21:58):
Probably closer to Atlantic City.
Maybe not Vegas, but, uh.
Matt (22:01):
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
As, as someone that's been toAtlantic City, I'd say
Blackpool's that you've got,you've got obviously new, the
Cornish town is, is very
Jerry (22:08):
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Matt (22:09):
you've got Blackpool.
They're the, they're the.
sorry, Brighton.
They're the three that you knoware definitely on the map.
Jerry (22:15):
New key seems more familial.
Matt (22:18):
Yeah, yeah.
Jerry (22:21):
Yeah.
Matt (22:21):
Bournemouth as well.
And he's Bourne.
There are other places, but, uh,it seems that these sort of
seaside towns, that's wherethey're very sort of, um,
staggering head popular.
when a bachelor bacheloretteparty, they tend to go to the
seaside towns like Brighton,Blackpool, new key.
Something about it.
Those, you know, last daysbefore you trapped is wanna see
(22:44):
the sea.
You wanna see the sea, don'tyou?
Jerry (22:46):
Yeah, exactly.
Matt (22:48):
Um, yeah.
So we, we stayed off topic of TVshows.
It was kind of a TV
Jerry (22:53):
We, we, we did.
We did.
It's just whenever we get achance to make fun of Brits, I
just can't help myself.
I think that's the issue.
Matt (23:00):
yeah,
Jerry (23:00):
Yeah.
Matt (23:01):
And it's like.
Jerry (23:02):
Yeah.
Matt (23:02):
We allow it to happen.
It's like when you, a, uh,you've got a niece or something
and then they're a little slowand you see if they don't mind
them laughing at you, you letthem have a little Jeb.
fine.
We allow it.
Jerry (23:16):
Oh goodness.
But no, just, uh,
Matt (23:18):
the good news is we can't get canceled because we're
nobody's.
So who's gonna
Jerry (23:21):
that's right,
Matt (23:22):
Yeah.
Jerry (23:23):
that's right.
Well, I was gonna say though,just kind of circling back to
the TV shows, I find that,again, because of streaming
services, I find a lot of these.
Shows that are just not Americanbeing really popular with the
younger generation.
Right.
Not just the Peppa pigs, butAustralian.
Right.
If we look at Bluey, this houseloves Bluey, and I'm pretty sure
(23:44):
that you guys have watched Blueyas well.
Matt (23:47):
Yeah.
Yeah, it's definitely, you know,it's, it is a banging theme
tune.
I mean, that's what I like in a,if a program's got a great theme
tune that's gonna bring me in.
Jerry (23:54):
Right, right, right, right.
So you, you're just, you're justjamming it in the car.
Matt (23:58):
Can never hit the timing right.
But it doesn't matter.
Jerry (24:00):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (24:02):
Um.
Jerry (24:03):
speaking, speaking of tunes and, and I, I should have
asked you in the beginning ofthe call, uh, did you go to
your, was it fourth or fifthOasis concert last week?
Matt (24:12):
it was third.
Um, and
Jerry (24:14):
It was the third.
Okay.
Matt (24:16):
uh, anyone that listening that's aware of Oasis, you
understand they are probably thebest band in the world.
Um, so what I did
Jerry (24:25):
That's an outrageous statement.
Matt (24:27):
it's, it is a statement, but I think there's, there's
gravitas
Jerry (24:29):
It's a statement.
Matt (24:30):
There's gravitas,
Jerry (24:31):
That's fair.
Matt (24:32):
Uh, so I went in hard this time.
I made sure that I had a goodsort of six, seven pipes before
I even got to the venue.
Um, then when I got there, Icontinued to drink because you
Jerry (24:43):
Right.
Matt (24:43):
awkward curve.
And I made
Jerry (24:45):
Of course.
Matt (24:45):
around me knew I was drinking.
So, you know the people to theleft?
Me?
Jerry (24:49):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (24:50):
Yeah.
Jerry (24:50):
What's, what's the point of drinking if everyone's not
gonna know you're drinking?
Yeah.
Matt (24:54):
got to the point when the people in front of me, they
turned around and they sort ofquestioned, uh, had I had enough
to drink and I said, no, thankyou.
So I carried on.
Jerry (25:01):
No thank you.
Matt (25:02):
And they regret at that because then, you know, I had a
target then it was, uh, somewoman, and I said, I thought she
was with her husband.
I went, look, I'm, I'm sure youand your husband have a lovely
time.
And she went, oh, he, he's, he'snot my husband, it's my, my best
friend's husband.
And I said, I reply to that was,am I a Coldplay concert?
What's
Jerry (25:21):
Exactly
Matt (25:24):
she turned around?
Jerry (25:25):
can.
Matt (25:26):
yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's kind of spread out.
It's not just Coldplay, now it'smoving to Oasis.
Jerry (25:31):
That's right.
Well, and just to confirm, thisis your third Oasis concert.
How many cover bands have youseen at various pubs?
Matt (25:43):
Oh, uh, what not Oasis, just random cover bands.
Jerry (25:47):
Yes.
Oasis cover bands.
Mm-hmm.
Matt (25:50):
uh, only two.
I saw one just before, so beforeI went to the Oasis, I went see
Oasis cover band just before.
Um, then I saw one at afestival, but I don't think I've
actually ever seen an Oasiscover band.
Jerry (26:02):
You, you also took me to one in Manchester.
Matt (26:05):
No.
No.
So that was an Oasis themed bar.
That wasn't an Oasis
Jerry (26:09):
Ah,
Matt (26:09):
band.
Jerry (26:10):
I I thought the band was playing various Oasis songs.
Matt (26:13):
I think they might have played, I think it's kind of a
given, if you're there,
Jerry (26:15):
Yes.
Matt (26:16):
one or two Oasis songs, but they, they were playing
other stuff as well, so itwasn't an Oasis cover band you
know, and would buy a coverband.
The singer would try and looklike Liam Gaa and, and et
cetera.
That's just, they play someoasis there, are great.
It's
Jerry (26:30):
It.
Matt (26:30):
maybe Great bar in Manchester.
Check it out.
Jerry (26:33):
Yeah, check it out.
It's also, it's also for our,our, our gay listeners, it's a
gay bar as well.
'cause there were literally onlymen at that bar.
Matt (26:43):
Maybe they wouldn't like to sponsor us.
I dunno.
Either way.
I think when we went in there,there wasn't a single woman in
there, but it was
Jerry (26:49):
There was not a single woman in there.
Matt (26:52):
it was very much just men sing along to Oasis songs.
But
Jerry (26:55):
Correct.
And they were hugging.
Matt (26:58):
you have to, if you don't have your arm around someone in
Oasis concert or Oasis setting,are you really there?
I, I don't, I,
Jerry (27:05):
That's That's fair.
That's fair.
Matt (27:07):
Yeah,
Jerry (27:07):
fair.
It brings the crowd together.
Matt (27:09):
it does.
So when you go to your bad bunnyconcerts and they're not
Jerry (27:13):
Yes.
Yes.
Matt (27:13):
hugging and singing,
Jerry (27:15):
There's dancing, quite a bit of dancing.
So dancing with your partner oryou know, if you're by yourself
or just with friends.
Maybe you're a random person,right?
A lot of dancing.
Matt (27:24):
at a concert?
Here though, let's be honest.
Jerry (27:27):
Oh, a bad bunny concert.
You'll see some solos.
Matt (27:29):
Ready?
Jerry (27:31):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Matt (27:32):
done a solo concert.
Jerry (27:33):
I
Matt (27:34):
it was, it's only recently I've done solo cinema and I
dunno why it took me so long todo solo cinema, but I've never
done solo concert yet.
Jerry (27:40):
What, uh, what kind of movie theater was it?
Matt (27:45):
You know the
Jerry (27:45):
And did you?
And did, and did you walk inwith a trench coat and nothing
underneath?
Matt (27:51):
The standard cinema trench coat paid my mission.
You know, uh, a lot of men theremasturbating, just standard
cinema.
Jerry (27:58):
Yeah.
Like on a scale of one to 10,how sticky were the seats?
Matt (28:01):
Uh, yeah, I'm gonna say it, it it, I probably got
banned.
It was, I didn't realize I, Imisread the film of Despicable
Me.
I thought it was a differentsort of film.
So I got asked to leave.
Uh, they should have made itclear by what Despicable Me
meant.
So
Jerry (28:17):
Right, right, right.
Matt (28:18):
them.
Yeah.
There's a lot of kids around.
Jerry (28:22):
That, that is just, just given sort of the dark themes,
not even the dark themes, butjust the very pragmatic themes
and sort of the guilt trips ofBritish culture.
That's a proper poor name,despicable me for a UK porn
film.
Matt (28:37):
Yeah.
Especially'cause it just givesit like spic me for, you're
like, okay.
So it's obviously a series now
Jerry (28:41):
Yeah, well, it, it'll probably end at three series,
but that's it.
Matt (28:46):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Unlike backdoor slots nine nowthat's, that's just going and
going, isn't it?
Jerry (28:52):
Now that, that.
Matt (28:54):
I need to know, if I haven't seen one to eight, will
I understand nine?
Jerry (28:59):
Boy, I don't think so.
I think you should really watch,sit down with the wife and, uh,
just kind of get to know thecharacters.
Matt (29:05):
Or is it like, are they different trilogies, like
different Star Wars?
There's nine Star Wars films andthat's broken down to three
triages.
Is it broken down?
Like that one's a prequel maybe.
I dunno.
Jerry (29:15):
Yeah.
I don't know how much of thiswe're going to utilize, uh, but
I feel like my so, so I'll stillsay it.
I feel like,
Matt (29:24):
it?
Jerry (29:24):
yeah.
Yeah.
So I.
I had the internet, uh, in myyounger years readily available.
Matt (29:33):
Yeah.
I didn't grow
Jerry (29:33):
So I wasn't, so, yeah, so I wasn't, you know, like just
watching something like adifferent series on a, on
A-V-H-S-I
Matt (29:47):
Not for
Jerry (29:47):
was sorted.
Like were, were, were you buyingmagazines?
Matt (29:50):
No,
Jerry (29:53):
I'm gonna go ahead and think Yes, either way, but.
Matt (29:56):
yeah.
Yeah.
Jerry (29:58):
No, no, probably, maybe,
Matt (30:00):
reader's stories.
Nothing.
Nothing beats it.
Does
Jerry (30:02):
nah.
I'm assuming it was likeNational Geographics or
something.
Matt (30:08):
Yeah.
Smash it.
Jerry (30:09):
Yeah,
Matt (30:11):
Again, I dunno if you have smashes, but that probably
sounds like that sort ofmagazine to you, doesn't it?
Jerry (30:16):
it does.
It does.
Matt (30:19):
Did you?
I'll take it.
They're like, pop music magazinesmashes very big in the
nineties.
Every week you get it.
And every week there'd be a asection there where it'd have
some current songs and it'd havethe lyrics printed out.
And that was the only way youcould find out the lyrics to
songs back then.
Now you got on the internet andyou, you find out I lost the
lyrics to this song, but you hadto wait.
Was it in smash sheets thatweek?
Yes.
Now I finally know the lyricstoo.
(30:40):
Uh, spice Girls wanna be Get in.
Jerry (30:42):
Yeah, without, again, the internet has just made
everything so accessible.
So backdoor sluts nine, justMay.
Maybe we should, maybe we shouldhost a party where we played
some O where we play some olderfilms.
Matt (30:56):
so you might have those sort of parties where you live
with, but they're not somethingI partake in.
Maybe people come and.
Jerry (31:02):
I was, I can go to the cinema that you frequent.
Matt (31:06):
Yeah.
Don't, I'm banned now I need toknow, um, dear Backdoor, sluts
nine.
Obviously it's American'causeit's gone on to the ninth one.
Did it wrap up on the last one?
Jerry (31:16):
I am not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not into sluts.
It's not, it's not my thing, youknow,
Matt (31:23):
It's not the anal, it's just the sluts.
Jerry (31:25):
I, I'm more of a front door kind of guy, you know, I'm,
I'm a gentleman.
Matt (31:29):
Front door respectable people four.
Jerry (31:33):
Yeah.
Matt (31:34):
that sounds very
Jerry (31:35):
Man.
Matt (31:36):
it?
Jerry (31:36):
This podcast has really taken a turn.
Matt (31:38):
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's gone dark quickly, isn'tit?
Hmm.
Jerry (31:43):
I think this is what happens when we go beyond the 20
minute mark.
We just start going off therails.
Matt (31:47):
Yeah.
People will see from now onepisode lengths of 10 minutes,
just a quick, you
Jerry (31:51):
Yeah, exactly.
Matt (31:53):
Okay.
Well, I think we've hit 30minutes and I think
Jerry (31:55):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (31:56):
before we get arrested or or other, we should probably
this up.
Jerry (32:02):
That's right.
Matt (32:02):
see you next time.
And just a
Jerry (32:05):
We shall, uh, see you soon.
Matt (32:06):
I'm gonna do some admin on the, on the call.
Jerry, don't forget when I stoprecording, can you not leave?
'cause it will delete your
Jerry (32:12):
Oh, that's right.
Yes, that would be helpful.
You know what?
Lemme get the fuck outta here.
All right.
Matt (32:17):
alright.
Catch you next time.
Jerry (32:18):
Alright.
Cheers.
Matt (32:19):
Right?
Hello and welcome to the next in Stillman of Atlantic
Exchange.
Good afternoon slash morning.
Jerry,
Jerry (00:16):
Morning, Matt.
Matt (00:18):
you know what?
I thought you were just gonnanod and not say anything.
I thought this is an audiopodcast.
You can't be nodding on apodcast.
Okay.
We need audio input.
Luckily, you did respond, butyou started off with a nod and I
thought,
Jerry (00:28):
Well.
Matt (00:28):
be visually noted.
Jerry (00:30):
Well, to be fair, I I, I, I figured there would be some
visuals, right?
Which is why I wore this Mickeyhat.
So for any American corporationsout there, this could be you to
our three, four listeners thatwanna promote their brand.
Matt (00:45):
Three or four
Jerry (00:46):
This is this, this is what you would get right here.
Matt (00:48):
Yeah, let just turn my mic down a bit.
I think we've got a bit audioclip in there.
Yeah.
Three to four.
You are, you are a, uh,optimistic man.
That's what I like on a Friday
Jerry (00:56):
am.
Matt (00:56):
Optimism.
Um.
Jerry (00:58):
It's the American way.
Matt (00:59):
Now I would say that we haven't spoken for a week, but
that wouldn't be true because Idrunk called you last night,
didn't I?
You were my, uh,
Jerry (01:05):
You did.
Matt (01:06):
you were my, uh, like my booty call really?
Weren't you?
Jerry (01:09):
That's right.
That's right.
Matt (01:11):
Yeah.
Which
Jerry (01:11):
You had a, a mouthful of mouthful of Burger King as I was
trying to understand the wordyou were trying to get out.
Matt (01:16):
But no fries.
No fries.
'cause uh,
Jerry (01:19):
No fries.
They charged you the same for,for a burger and a drink.
Matt (01:24):
the argument I had was
Jerry (01:24):
I.
Matt (01:25):
a, a meal.
And, uh, he just gave me theburger and a drink, and I was
like, well, where's my fries?
We're at fries.
I was like, well, you didn'ttell me that when I ordered.
And he charged me.
He goes, no, no, I haven'tcharged you for fries.
So I looked to my receipt andthat the cost of a burger with a
drink was about 20 p less thanit was for a whole meal.
I was like, well, technicallyyou're right, but fuck you, you.
Jerry (01:46):
Yeah.
What, what?
What happened to the upsell, youknow?
Matt (01:49):
yeah.
You call yourself BurgerRoyalty.
Well, I'm afraid you're not.
See, yeah.
I suppose it maybe in Americathere'd be upsetting some extra
stuff, like onion rings.
This guy was the end of hisshift.
He really
Jerry (02:01):
Right, right.
Yeah.
And he's, he's dealing with a,with a drunken Brit that's just
sort of had probably eight, ninepints.
Matt (02:10):
Not even that many, but yeah.
So how's your week
Jerry (02:15):
Fair.
It's been good, man.
Just been traveling for work.
I was in the beautiful city ofLas Vegas.
Matt (02:21):
Is a beautiful city.
Jerry (02:22):
Uh, it's, yes, we've been many times great time.
Uh, really just focused onconferences and then visited
clients in Texas.
Matt (02:31):
See, we might as well talk about Vegas for a bit'cause as
you say, we've been a few
Jerry (02:35):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (02:37):
I think it is a beautiful city, but I'm not sure if
beauty's the right word.
It's, it's an expensive city.
And for anyone that's
Jerry (02:44):
It is an expensive city, but I find the beauty in it, you
know.
Matt (02:49):
Yeah, I mean, uh, can you move your mic a little bit away
from your mouth as well, um, toget some audio
Jerry (02:55):
How about there?
Yeah,
Matt (02:55):
Yeah, that's better.
Yeah,
Jerry (02:57):
yeah, yeah.
We can, we can edit that out.
Matt (02:58):
city.
Anyone that's not been, I dorecommend you go, um, at least
once in your life.
Um,
Jerry (03:04):
Oh, absolutely.
Matt (03:05):
every time I've been there, I think I counted, I've
been there 10 times.
I've always gone.
This the last time I were gonnacome here, but here I go.
Here we.
Jerry (03:13):
What's what?
What do you guys have there?
Because'cause Crockfords is outright in London, that that no
longer exists.
Matt (03:21):
As in what do we have that's now equivalent to Vegas?
Jerry (03:24):
Well, just any casinos at all?
Was it Stratford?
Matt (03:26):
See?
Yeah, so casinos are verydifferent though in uk.
So a lot of them, a majority of'em have a membership scheme.
So you have to be a member.
It could be free to join, butyou just have to join.
Um, some do allow walk-ins, butthey're limited.
It's'cause they just, they don'tgive out the casino license.
That easily.
So there there's
Jerry (03:45):
Right.
Matt (03:46):
and more opening up.
Like I say, we've been to one inStrat with that.
I had that sort of Vegas feel.
There's a couple in London.
but yeah, they're not, uh,there's no free drinks.
Not like when you go in Vegas,you've just gotta
Jerry (03:56):
That's terrible.
That's the,
Matt (03:58):
There's no free drinks.
You have to pay for all
Jerry (03:59):
yeah.
Matt (04:00):
while you're gambling in the uk and that's, that's why I
just stick to gambling onlineand scratch cards.
Now it's just safer,
Jerry (04:06):
We, we have a really fun topic to discuss today that I'm,
I'm very excited to get to.
Matt (04:11):
Yes, today we're gonna discuss TV programs.
So obviously with the, the, Isee the invention of Netflix.
It wasn't the invention.
Now, uh,
Jerry (04:22):
Right, right,
Matt (04:23):
the same.
We'd be watching the samecontent, back in the day,
programs would be American andprograms would be English and
had a very different feel.
Um.
Jerry (04:30):
right.
Matt (04:30):
And I think let's, let's address the, the elephant in the
room here.
So it is, it's probably knownthat UK series lengths run times
are a lot shorter than a USSeries
Jerry (04:40):
Four or five episodes.
Matt (04:41):
six.
The standard is six, so sixepisodes.
The US it's like 20.
Is that about
Jerry (04:49):
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Matt (04:50):
I mean, and also we don't run for many series as well, so
you take the, the officeobviously that's a good example
here,
Jerry (04:58):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (04:59):
UK and us.
The uk I think there was threeseries of it and then a
Christmas special, and
Jerry (05:06):
Right.
Matt (05:07):
Um,
Jerry (05:10):
The, the US version of the office is nine Seasons.
Matt (05:13):
nine seasons.
I thought it was 10.
Was it
Jerry (05:16):
Yeah.
And now there's a spinoff
Matt (05:18):
Yes,
Jerry (05:18):
called the paper.
Matt (05:19):
that.
Yes,
Jerry (05:19):
Yeah.
Which was fantastic as well.
Matt (05:21):
yeah.
It's, it's not the office now.
happened Great.
Here is the US office translatedperfectly.
It's, it became, its differentshow.
I think
Jerry (05:31):
Right, right.
Matt (05:32):
I don't watch it and think, oh, I'm watching version
of something.
Jerry (05:36):
Mm-hmm.
Matt (05:36):
I watched the Australian office,
Jerry (05:40):
Oh, I haven't seen that yet.
Matt (05:41):
um.
That just seems like it's a copyof the US one.
It it had that, like, that sortof fill
Jerry (05:48):
Right.
Matt (05:49):
the, the UK and the us they're very different shows.
Um, yeah, I mean I Love USOffice.
Um, I, you might say it's notcalled the US office, but I'm
gonna call it the US office sowe can distinguish'em.
It's definitely up there as oneof my top shows and it's one of
those things where there's, youknow, shows become cult when you
can just quote parts of a showand people
Jerry (06:09):
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (06:11):
we constantly are quoting different parts from the office.
Jerry (06:14):
Yeah, likewise.
It's, it's, it's my favoriteshow of all time.
Openly.
I've been to a ton of officetrivia.
That's, that's a question that Ihad for you as well.
Uh, are there trivia nightscentered around certain shows at
like your local pub?
Matt (06:29):
Yeah, there are, there's not loads.
I've been in London.
I've seen a, a US office trivianight.
Jerry (06:35):
Okay.
Matt (06:36):
friend's one.
Um.
But yeah, not, not Lowe's, butI, I did a, a US trivia, a US
office trivia on YouTube.
I think it's 10 questions.
I think I've got one.
Right.
And it's like,'cause when you'vegot, when you've got, I mean, I,
you are looking at what, 400episodes
Jerry (06:58):
Yeah.
Matt (06:58):
Yeah.
How are you
Jerry (06:59):
That's a new record for you, one, right?
Matt (07:02):
I'm not gonna know, I'm not gonna know everything that
happened in those, thoseepisodes.
And they were some reallyobscure questions.
So
Jerry (07:08):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (07:09):
a, uh, office trivia.
I, I'll just be coming out withlike one or two correct.
Jerry (07:16):
I, my, my main issue isn't even the length of, uh, of
British series, right?
If it's six episodes and maybethree seasons, that's, that's
not a big deal.
The issue is that a British showwill go unresolved, like it
just.
Matt (07:31):
Yeah.
Jerry (07:31):
It'll just, it'll just go unresolved, like nothing.
Hey, life sucks.
What are you gonna do?
Thanks for watching.
In the US it's like fat toblack, inspirational music.
Everyone hugs it out,
Matt (07:42):
Yeah, it every, it always closes off in the us in the uk
it'd be left and they will neverfinish it off.
Um, they a, a recent example ofthat was Gavin and Stacey now
that ran for, again, two orthree series.
They had a
Jerry (07:58):
right?
Matt (07:58):
they had a cup of Christmas special I think, but
they penultimate Christmasspecial and people thought that
was the end of it.
It was just left on acliffhanger, but they.
Jerry (08:05):
Yeah.
Matt (08:05):
was just gone.
They actually made anotherepisode they, they tied it all
up.
But yeah, it's very, it's, it'snot unknown that the UK series,
you're like, well, whathappened?
And that's frustrating, but
Jerry (08:17):
I hear you.
So
Matt (08:17):
that,
Jerry (08:19):
now I was gonna say, sometimes U UK shows also, I
feel like they pack so muchcontent into one season because
they know.
That they can't really extendit.
Matt (08:31):
yeah.
I mean, I find it that a lot of'em.
A lot of'em just, they don'textend past three, three series.
Some
Jerry (08:38):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (08:39):
sort of things.
Some do, they go on, but it'ssome of the major cult, uh,
series.
So let's go, uh, like inbetweeners in modern day,
Jerry (08:48):
Mm-hmm.
Fantastic show in betweeners.
Mm-hmm.
Matt (08:51):
they, they have like three series and even you think 40
towers, that's a, that's aclassic.
You might not have seen allepisodes, but you've seen clips
and you are aware of it.
Jerry (09:00):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (09:01):
episodes ever, but it's.
It's,
Jerry (09:04):
It's super quotable though.
Matt (09:05):
yeah, exactly.
But you would think that it'shad loads The fact how, how
worldwide known it is.
Jerry (09:12):
How do you, how do you feel about the laugh track?
So super common here.
Matt (09:17):
Yeah.
We don't have it so much now.
So
Jerry (09:19):
Yeah.
Matt (09:20):
they, that kind of disappeared early two thousands.
So in the nineties it was verymuch either laugh track or you'd
have a studio audience in therewatching it being
Jerry (09:29):
Yeah.
Matt (09:30):
Um.
And it, if you watch'em now, itfeels dated.
'cause I think I've got used togoing to or watching comedies
without it.
And I think kind of clocked ontothat was that was the way,'cause
like the office obviouslydoesn't have a laugh, tracks not
filmed in front of an audience
Jerry (09:47):
Right.
Matt (09:47):
they're going that way.
But yeah, if you watch a, youwouldn't, it's very rare to see
a comedy in the UK now with alaugh track or an audience.
I can't remember the last time Isaw a new one that had that.
Jerry (09:58):
Agreed.
I, I, I feel like my, my onlyother major observation and how
can I say this politely here,everyone looks like a model,
right?
All the actors, everyone in ashow in, in UK shows, just
regular folks are on screen.
Doing their thing.
(10:20):
Like even, even the nerdiestperson, right.
That or the homeless person onthe street is super handsome.
Right.
But, uh, but UK shows they, theywill choose someone that
properly fits that row,
Matt (10:33):
Yeah, so I think a good example of that is, is I say you
wanna call'em cop shows or
Jerry (10:38):
right?
Matt (10:39):
thrillers.
So in the UK they're, they'revery dark centered it's just,
you say it's a regular crew andthey police when you watch it in
the US
Jerry (10:48):
Oh dude, what was that?
What was that solid ass showthat you guys in the line of
duty?
Fantastic series.
Whoa.
Matt (10:56):
See, I haven't seen.
Now obviously there's somegreat, uh, I'm gonna call'em cop
shows, just so we know thegenre.
There's some great
Jerry (11:02):
Yeah.
Matt (11:02):
ones.
Um, obviously the y was apopular one.
Jerry (11:06):
Yeah.
Matt (11:07):
I'm not gonna put 24 in that bracket.
That's a different sort of show.
But yeah, they're very differentover there.
So when you watch, if I watchany US based shows like that, as
you say the, there's like a, amale or a female cop, she's
pretty much probably a model.
Could be a model, but she's alsoa policeman on the side, it
seems.
So it's like
Jerry (11:23):
Yeah.
Matt (11:23):
realism's not there, but it's just like in America, you
have to be a model to be on tv.
Jerry (11:28):
Yeah, it's, it's odd.
Also, I feel like outside ofstreaming, we're talking about
shows that are on cable tv.
Right.
UK shows might have some riskierwords.
You might hear a curse word hereand there.
Cable TV in the US especiallyprimetime.
Very rare that you'll hear anF-bomb or,
Matt (11:47):
yeah, yeah.
South Park bleeps.
Fuck doesn't it over there on
Jerry (11:50):
yes, it does, it does.
We'll bleep this for, uh, theyounger audience
Matt (11:54):
this?
Jerry (11:55):
and we bleeping the fuck.
Matt (11:57):
we're definitely
Jerry (11:58):
You know, let's let them all out and then let's let the
crowd guess what we're saying.
Matt (12:01):
Yeah.
Yeah.
This so I can figure out how tobleep, eh?
Jerry (12:07):
Exactly.
Matt (12:09):
Yeah.
I think, um.
Yeah, you can definitely drop anF on UK tv.
That's not a problem.
seems now we can drop
Jerry (12:16):
That's so wild.
Matt (12:18):
so,
Jerry (12:18):
You can drop the C.
Now, you guys have graduated tothe C word on tv,
Matt (12:22):
I think we're getting blurred is Netflix.
So obviously on Netflix
Jerry (12:25):
right?
Matt (12:25):
you can, I've watched programs and they say it, I'm
trying to think, then I've beenwatching American shows, so
let's, let's say, but maybethey're streaming.
So I was watching Peacemaker theother day, US show.
I think it's HBO, but I dunno ifit's on TV or it's on streaming.
But they dropped a
Jerry (12:44):
Mm-hmm.
Matt (12:45):
now.
But I dunno if it's actually ontv.
Do they bleep that out?
Jerry (12:49):
Right, right.
Matt (12:51):
I'm not sure.
So
Jerry (12:52):
Yeah.
Matt (12:53):
you'll
Jerry (12:53):
No, I hear you.
Matt (12:54):
like another great show.
Uh, obviously a great Americancomedy, always sunny in
Philadelphia.
Again, it's on like
Jerry (13:00):
Sensational.
Matt (13:01):
What you on?
17?
Jerry (13:02):
Yeah.
Matt (13:03):
Um.
Jerry (13:03):
Yeah.
I, I can't, I can't drink orangejuice without calling it
cocktail mix.
Matt (13:09):
Yeah, I cooked some GA the other day and I called it rum
ham, but I see they, I don't, Iwas gonna say, they've gone down
now, so the latest EP series,they're only sort of six
episodes, so they've, they'vejumped onto, this is how the
British do it.
But I think it's just'causethey're just doing other stuff
and they can't be botheredanymore.
Jerry (13:25):
It.
Obviously the US market has amonopoly just around Hollywood
and shows in general, how muchcontent would you say percentage
wise were you watching growingup?
That was UK versus us.
Now we watch a lot of UKcontent.
Again, because of streamingservices, it's available.
Matt (13:43):
isn't it?
Um,
Jerry (13:44):
Yeah.
Matt (13:45):
I would say, let's go back to the nineties and it's very
relatable to our younglisteners.
Um.
I was probably 75, 80% stuff.
But then there'd
Jerry (13:59):
Okay.
Matt (14:00):
stuff.
So we might have South, southPark was on friends, um, but
we'd get'em a lot later just'cause obviously the world was a
bigger place back then.
You couldn't stream it.
Jerry (14:08):
Right.
Matt (14:09):
like an episode of
Jerry (14:10):
That explains the rise in depression in the uk.
Matt (14:13):
So an episode of Friends that might be on in America,
we'd have to wait sort of sixmonths for it.
So.
Jerry (14:18):
Yeah, that's right.
Matt (14:19):
dunno if someone have to put it on a tape and bring it
over here.
I'm not sure.
But where now
Jerry (14:24):
I do.
Matt (14:25):
day.
Jerry (14:26):
Yeah, exactly.
I do.
Like when shows try totranslate, sort of like the
office or do you watch some ofthe newer shows, Matt?
So for the audience, I, I don'twant to age you may I, may I say
our ages.
Matt (14:40):
Uh, you can,
Jerry (14:42):
Alright.
I'm 35.
Matt (14:43):
and I'm 43.
Jerry (14:47):
Are we sure?
Matt (14:48):
I think so.
I'm not sure, but I'll
Jerry (14:49):
I think so.
We'll, we'll, we'll stick withit.
We'll stick with it.
Do you watch some of the newershows that, that have a direct
series in each country?
Like Love Island or Love isBlind?
Matt (14:59):
So reality shows, um,
Jerry (15:01):
Yes.
Matt (15:02):
I don't, I don't, I have watched them.
I've, I think I watched the veryfirst series of Love Is Blind.
I've seen married at FirstSight.
Jerry (15:11):
Right, right.
Matt (15:11):
have things like Love Island, but they're not my
go-to.
I think.
I think my time is limited, youknow, so I, I, I tend
Jerry (15:19):
I hear that.
Matt (15:20):
yeah, they, they, I'm not sure how they translate
differently.
I've never watched sort of adifferent versions of them.
You obviously do,'cause youspend all your time watching
that stuff, but, uh,
Jerry (15:29):
Well, I'm, I, I'm an irresponsible individual, so I,
I try to watch as much TV aspossible.
No, I, uh, it's just, I, thereason I mention it is reality
TV in the UK is so much betterhere in the us.
Folks are just tiptoeing aroundeach other.
That is not an option forwhatever reason.
In the uk, if there is an issue,if there's a concern, you're
gonna hear about it.
Matt (15:51):
Yeah.
Yeah, that's true.
There's, there's some well-knownfights on things like Big
Brother
Jerry (15:55):
Yeah.
Matt (15:56):
and uh, uh, what's the one that we had of, which is our
copy of Jersey Shore, um, Judy
Jerry (16:04):
Uh, Jordy Shore.
Matt (16:06):
shore.
Jerry (16:06):
I've seen, I've seen Jordy, sho.
It's not bad, but it's no JerseyShore.
Matt (16:09):
I think the first
Jerry (16:10):
May, may, maybe it's 'cause I'm from Jersey.
Matt (16:12):
yeah, that's like your home series really, isn't it?
Yeah.
Jerry (16:14):
Yeah.
Did you watch the Jersey Shoreat all?
Matt (16:17):
I've never seen Jersey Shore.
No.
Jerry (16:20):
It's wonderful.
Matt (16:22):
How far from where you are, is it based?
Jerry (16:26):
An hour, maybe less, 45 minutes.
Matt (16:28):
it's not
Jerry (16:28):
Yeah.
So I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm pretty,I'm pretty centered to, yeah,
no, the Atlantic City's a bitmore south.
Uh, but as you know, I'm, I'msort of in the center of the
beach in Manhattan.
Matt (16:38):
We covered ies, we covered thrillers.
Um, yeah, I mean, here's anotherthing.
So have you ever watched stufffrom another country, another
language?
Do you put the subtitles on ordo you change the audio?
Jerry (16:51):
Well, I feel like now I put the subtitles on, even if
it's in English.
I don't know.
I.
I don't, I, I feel like Netflixgot so many people accustomed to
just having the, uh, thesubtitles on.
But it's, to answer yourquestion, one of my favorite
movies of all time is parasite,uh, the Korean sort of drama
thriller.
Matt (17:10):
Yeah, so I haven't seen it.
So I watched, obviously Iwatched Squeak Game like
everyone else.
Jerry (17:14):
Of course.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (17:15):
it was till first couple of episodes.
I didn't even realize that.
The original version though.
Was she speaking in Korean?
I just thought they just filmedit in English though.
That's how in my small centeredworld I am.
I'm just, well they probablyjust filmed it in English.
It's fine
Jerry (17:29):
The, uh, the third season, the third season's gonna
be in America.
It'll be in Los Angeles.
Matt (17:34):
Uh, yes.
Yeah.
So that's like a spinoff nowit's squid game at LA
Jerry (17:38):
Right, right.
Matt (17:39):
Well yeah.
Not getting away the ending foranyone's not watched it, but
yeah, they, they've
Jerry (17:43):
Yeah.
Matt (17:44):
game LA and
Jerry (17:46):
Well, we can give away some info.
Matt (17:47):
Yeah.
Jerry (17:48):
of them die.
Matt (17:49):
Yeah.
All but one.
Jerry (17:51):
Yeah.
All but one die, which is apretty British.
Matt (17:56):
Yeah.
But it wraps up.
It does, it wraps up.
So
Jerry (17:58):
It does wrap up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There, there's a, there's aproper ending.
Matt (18:03):
what is your, so at the moment, obviously Korean culture
is quite big at the moment.
Um, and obviously you have a, ayoung daughter.
Are you, is your house justplaying K-pop demon hunters on
repeat or.
Jerry (18:13):
Now.
It's actually playing a verypopular, uh, British show.
Nonstop.
Matt (18:20):
What's
Jerry (18:20):
Can you guess what that is?
Pep Pig.
Matt (18:22):
Oh, okay.
Yes.
Yeah, I think, I think
Jerry (18:26):
And that that is one rude little girl.
Matt (18:29):
She's a bit entitled, isn't she?
Jerry (18:31):
A a bit is, uh, a bit is carrying a lot of weight in that
sentence.
Matt (18:36):
So what you're saying is Pepper just needs a good slap.
Just sort that child out.
Jerry (18:40):
Oh man.
Just a solid timeout.
Something, I don't know, maybeboarding school.
Matt (18:45):
Maybe, yeah, I, I, I don't think they're gonna do like a
really dark
Jerry (18:49):
I.
Matt (18:49):
of Pepper Pig where she, you know, she gets beaten up or
abused or anything like that.
I don't think that's on thehorizon.
Jerry (18:55):
I think the parents should consider adoption, like
giving her up for adoption.
Matt (19:00):
Yeah.
Um,
Jerry (19:02):
That's, that's, that's my solution.
Matt (19:05):
I, I, they seems very hands off parenting.
I mean, the, the dad, I don'tthink, what have I seen him do?
He's, he's either working orhe's off playing football.
I don't think he
Jerry (19:16):
Right, right, right.
Matt (19:17):
he's just, he's, he's zoned out at this, this point of
his family life, hasn't he?
He's just, uh, he's got a
Jerry (19:24):
It, I mean.
Matt (19:24):
say the word dinosaur.
Mommy pig's upstairs working,but I don't see her bringing
home the money.
I think he's, he's doing it all.
So it's just, I, I
Jerry (19:34):
Where, where would you, where, where would you align
the, the, the Peppa Pig family?
Do, do you think they're moresort of like south, like
Londonish area or they're,they're proper geezers,
Matt (19:46):
Well, considering they're pigs that are not real, it's
very hard to actually.
Sort of regionalize a fictional
Jerry (19:52):
right?
Matt (19:53):
Uh, they've obviously got like, pepper Peak has very, a
very posh accent.
Like she, she's
Jerry (19:57):
She does, she does.
Matt (19:58):
she obviously goes to some sort of public school or
something.
Um.
But it's a strange land as well.
I mean, the whole land of pepperpig, wherever it is.
I mean, they're all very,they're very lazy.
No one does any work apart from,uh, Mrs.
What's her name?
Mrs.
Rabbit.
She's,
Jerry (20:12):
Yeah.
Matt (20:13):
She's taking everyone's job.
She's, she's coming over theretaking everyone's job.
No one else seems to be doinganything, and they seem, they
seem okay with it.
So I dunno how they're gettingtheir
Jerry (20:22):
Okay.
So, so essentially you'resaying, uh, it's Liverpool,
Manchester.
Got it.
Matt (20:27):
Just watch now.
Northern, Northern customers
Jerry (20:29):
Yeah,
Matt (20:29):
for tuning.
Thanks for tuning.
Jerry (20:31):
exactly.
Thanks for tuning in.
Matt (20:32):
Yeah,
Jerry (20:33):
Everyone in Northern England.
Matt (20:35):
It's, it's definitely a British, uh, seaside town.
Um,
Jerry (20:38):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (20:39):
Yeah.
I mean, maybe think for anotherepisode, but, but regionally
it's like, it's, think that a, aseaside town would be a nice
extravagant area, but sometimesyou go to'em and you think, ah,
I'm gonna leave quickly.
I think this isn't for me.
Jerry (20:53):
What, what's Brighton is what, like three, four blocks of
like solid hotels?
Matt (20:58):
yeah, so Bri Brighton's different, there's some that
obviously they're, they're toobig to foul, but some of the
smaller
Jerry (21:02):
Right?
Right.
Matt (21:03):
tourism moved away from Britain, so these all built on
tourism.
just nothing there from now.
Uh, it's, they're very dead, butyeah.
Brighton, you've always wantedto go.
Brighton.
Every time you come out, you go,let's go bright and let's go
bright.
And I
Jerry (21:16):
Yeah,
Matt (21:17):
what you've got in your head, what you're expecting, but
it's, it's nice, but it's notgonna be.
Jerry (21:23):
definitely.
I wanna go for the gay bars.
No, uh, I just, uh, I, I, I didhear that about Brighton.
There's a ton of, ton of gaybars.
Um.
Matt (21:31):
a capital of England
Jerry (21:33):
Yeah,
Matt (21:34):
Hmm.
Jerry (21:34):
that makes sense why you're there once a month.
But what I would add is theyalso have a casino, from my
understanding.
Matt (21:39):
Probably.
Yeah.
Jerry (21:41):
Yeah.
Yeah.
And uh, it should, it has to,it's a, it's the seaside town
Matt (21:45):
It's
Jerry (21:46):
the uk.
Matt (21:46):
Yeah.
I mean
Jerry (21:47):
Yeah.
Matt (21:48):
there's, if you think of Seaside Towns, you've got
Blackpool, that's another placeyou'd like to visit.
That's, that's the
Jerry (21:53):
Yeah.
Matt (21:53):
we're talking, we circle background now.
So the Vegas of the UK is
Jerry (21:58):
Probably closer to Atlantic City.
Maybe not Vegas, but, uh.
Matt (22:01):
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
As, as someone that's been toAtlantic City, I'd say
Blackpool's that you've got,you've got obviously new, the
Cornish town is, is very
Jerry (22:08):
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Matt (22:09):
you've got Blackpool.
They're the, they're the.
sorry, Brighton.
They're the three that you knoware definitely on the map.
Jerry (22:15):
New key seems more familial.
Matt (22:18):
Yeah, yeah.
Jerry (22:21):
Yeah.
Matt (22:21):
Bournemouth as well.
And he's Bourne.
There are other places, but, uh,it seems that these sort of
seaside towns, that's wherethey're very sort of, um,
staggering head popular.
when a bachelor bacheloretteparty, they tend to go to the
seaside towns like Brighton,Blackpool, new key.
Something about it.
Those, you know, last daysbefore you trapped is wanna see
(22:44):
the sea.
You wanna see the sea, don'tyou?
Jerry (22:46):
Yeah, exactly.
Matt (22:48):
Um, yeah.
So we, we stayed off topic of TVshows.
It was kind of a TV
Jerry (22:53):
We, we, we did.
We did.
It's just whenever we get achance to make fun of Brits, I
just can't help myself.
I think that's the issue.
Matt (23:00):
yeah,
Jerry (23:00):
Yeah.
Matt (23:01):
And it's like.
Jerry (23:02):
Yeah.
Matt (23:02):
We allow it to happen.
It's like when you, a, uh,you've got a niece or something
and then they're a little slowand you see if they don't mind
them laughing at you, you letthem have a little Jeb.
fine.
We allow it.
Jerry (23:16):
Oh goodness.
But no, just, uh,
Matt (23:18):
the good news is we can't get canceled because we're
nobody's.
So who's gonna
Jerry (23:21):
that's right,
Matt (23:22):
Yeah.
Jerry (23:23):
that's right.
Well, I was gonna say though,just kind of circling back to
the TV shows, I find that,again, because of streaming
services, I find a lot of these.
Shows that are just not Americanbeing really popular with the
younger generation.
Right.
Not just the Peppa pigs, butAustralian.
Right.
If we look at Bluey, this houseloves Bluey, and I'm pretty sure
(23:44):
that you guys have watched Blueyas well.
Matt (23:47):
Yeah.
Yeah, it's definitely, you know,it's, it is a banging theme
tune.
I mean, that's what I like in a,if a program's got a great theme
tune that's gonna bring me in.
Jerry (23:54):
Right, right, right, right.
So you, you're just, you're justjamming it in the car.
Matt (23:58):
Can never hit the timing right.
But it doesn't matter.
Jerry (24:00):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (24:02):
Um.
Jerry (24:03):
speaking, speaking of tunes and, and I, I should have
asked you in the beginning ofthe call, uh, did you go to
your, was it fourth or fifthOasis concert last week?
Matt (24:12):
it was third.
Um, and
Jerry (24:14):
It was the third.
Okay.
Matt (24:16):
uh, anyone that listening that's aware of Oasis, you
understand they are probably thebest band in the world.
Um, so what I did
Jerry (24:25):
That's an outrageous statement.
Matt (24:27):
it's, it is a statement, but I think there's, there's
gravitas
Jerry (24:29):
It's a statement.
Matt (24:30):
There's gravitas,
Jerry (24:31):
That's fair.
Matt (24:32):
Uh, so I went in hard this time.
I made sure that I had a goodsort of six, seven pipes before
I even got to the venue.
Um, then when I got there, Icontinued to drink because you
Jerry (24:43):
Right.
Matt (24:43):
awkward curve.
And I made
Jerry (24:45):
Of course.
Matt (24:45):
around me knew I was drinking.
So, you know the people to theleft?
Me?
Jerry (24:49):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (24:50):
Yeah.
Jerry (24:50):
What's, what's the point of drinking if everyone's not
gonna know you're drinking?
Yeah.
Matt (24:54):
got to the point when the people in front of me, they
turned around and they sort ofquestioned, uh, had I had enough
to drink and I said, no, thankyou.
So I carried on.
Jerry (25:01):
No thank you.
Matt (25:02):
And they regret at that because then, you know, I had a
target then it was, uh, somewoman, and I said, I thought she
was with her husband.
I went, look, I'm, I'm sure youand your husband have a lovely
time.
And she went, oh, he, he's, he'snot my husband, it's my, my best
friend's husband.
And I said, I reply to that was,am I a Coldplay concert?
What's
Jerry (25:21):
Exactly
Matt (25:24):
she turned around?
Jerry (25:25):
can.
Matt (25:26):
yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's kind of spread out.
It's not just Coldplay, now it'smoving to Oasis.
Jerry (25:31):
That's right.
Well, and just to confirm, thisis your third Oasis concert.
How many cover bands have youseen at various pubs?
Matt (25:43):
Oh, uh, what not Oasis, just random cover bands.
Jerry (25:47):
Yes.
Oasis cover bands.
Mm-hmm.
Matt (25:50):
uh, only two.
I saw one just before, so beforeI went to the Oasis, I went see
Oasis cover band just before.
Um, then I saw one at afestival, but I don't think I've
actually ever seen an Oasiscover band.
Jerry (26:02):
You, you also took me to one in Manchester.
Matt (26:05):
No.
No.
So that was an Oasis themed bar.
That wasn't an Oasis
Jerry (26:09):
Ah,
Matt (26:09):
band.
Jerry (26:10):
I I thought the band was playing various Oasis songs.
Matt (26:13):
I think they might have played, I think it's kind of a
given, if you're there,
Jerry (26:15):
Yes.
Matt (26:16):
one or two Oasis songs, but they, they were playing
other stuff as well, so itwasn't an Oasis cover band you
know, and would buy a coverband.
The singer would try and looklike Liam Gaa and, and et
cetera.
That's just, they play someoasis there, are great.
It's
Jerry (26:30):
It.
Matt (26:30):
maybe Great bar in Manchester.
Check it out.
Jerry (26:33):
Yeah, check it out.
It's also, it's also for our,our, our gay listeners, it's a
gay bar as well.
'cause there were literally onlymen at that bar.
Matt (26:43):
Maybe they wouldn't like to sponsor us.
I dunno.
Either way.
I think when we went in there,there wasn't a single woman in
there, but it was
Jerry (26:49):
There was not a single woman in there.
Matt (26:52):
it was very much just men sing along to Oasis songs.
But
Jerry (26:55):
Correct.
And they were hugging.
Matt (26:58):
you have to, if you don't have your arm around someone in
Oasis concert or Oasis setting,are you really there?
I, I don't, I,
Jerry (27:05):
That's That's fair.
That's fair.
Matt (27:07):
Yeah,
Jerry (27:07):
fair.
It brings the crowd together.
Matt (27:09):
it does.
So when you go to your bad bunnyconcerts and they're not
Jerry (27:13):
Yes.
Yes.
Matt (27:13):
hugging and singing,
Jerry (27:15):
There's dancing, quite a bit of dancing.
So dancing with your partner oryou know, if you're by yourself
or just with friends.
Maybe you're a random person,right?
A lot of dancing.
Matt (27:24):
at a concert?
Here though, let's be honest.
Jerry (27:27):
Oh, a bad bunny concert.
You'll see some solos.
Matt (27:29):
Ready?
Jerry (27:31):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Matt (27:32):
done a solo concert.
Jerry (27:33):
I
Matt (27:34):
it was, it's only recently I've done solo cinema and I
dunno why it took me so long todo solo cinema, but I've never
done solo concert yet.
Jerry (27:40):
What, uh, what kind of movie theater was it?
Matt (27:45):
You know the
Jerry (27:45):
And did you?
And did, and did you walk inwith a trench coat and nothing
underneath?
Matt (27:51):
The standard cinema trench coat paid my mission.
You know, uh, a lot of men theremasturbating, just standard
cinema.
Jerry (27:58):
Yeah.
Like on a scale of one to 10,how sticky were the seats?
Matt (28:01):
Uh, yeah, I'm gonna say it, it it, I probably got
banned.
It was, I didn't realize I, Imisread the film of Despicable
Me.
I thought it was a differentsort of film.
So I got asked to leave.
Uh, they should have made itclear by what Despicable Me
meant.
So
Jerry (28:17):
Right, right, right.
Matt (28:18):
them.
Yeah.
There's a lot of kids around.
Jerry (28:22):
That, that is just, just given sort of the dark themes,
not even the dark themes, butjust the very pragmatic themes
and sort of the guilt trips ofBritish culture.
That's a proper poor name,despicable me for a UK porn
film.
Matt (28:37):
Yeah.
Especially'cause it just givesit like spic me for, you're
like, okay.
So it's obviously a series now
Jerry (28:41):
Yeah, well, it, it'll probably end at three series,
but that's it.
Matt (28:46):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Unlike backdoor slots nine nowthat's, that's just going and
going, isn't it?
Jerry (28:52):
Now that, that.
Matt (28:54):
I need to know, if I haven't seen one to eight, will
I understand nine?
Jerry (28:59):
Boy, I don't think so.
I think you should really watch,sit down with the wife and, uh,
just kind of get to know thecharacters.
Matt (29:05):
Or is it like, are they different trilogies, like
different Star Wars?
There's nine Star Wars films andthat's broken down to three
triages.
Is it broken down?
Like that one's a prequel maybe.
I dunno.
Jerry (29:15):
Yeah.
I don't know how much of thiswe're going to utilize, uh, but
I feel like my so, so I'll stillsay it.
I feel like,
Matt (29:24):
it?
Jerry (29:24):
yeah.
Yeah.
So I.
I had the internet, uh, in myyounger years readily available.
Matt (29:33):
Yeah.
I didn't grow
Jerry (29:33):
So I wasn't, so, yeah, so I wasn't, you know, like just
watching something like adifferent series on a, on
A-V-H-S-I
Matt (29:47):
Not for
Jerry (29:47):
was sorted.
Like were, were, were you buyingmagazines?
Matt (29:50):
No,
Jerry (29:53):
I'm gonna go ahead and think Yes, either way, but.
Matt (29:56):
yeah.
Yeah.
Jerry (29:58):
No, no, probably, maybe,
Matt (30:00):
reader's stories.
Nothing.
Nothing beats it.
Does
Jerry (30:02):
nah.
I'm assuming it was likeNational Geographics or
something.
Matt (30:08):
Yeah.
Smash it.
Jerry (30:09):
Yeah,
Matt (30:11):
Again, I dunno if you have smashes, but that probably
sounds like that sort ofmagazine to you, doesn't it?
Jerry (30:16):
it does.
It does.
Matt (30:19):
Did you?
I'll take it.
They're like, pop music magazinesmashes very big in the
nineties.
Every week you get it.
And every week there'd be a asection there where it'd have
some current songs and it'd havethe lyrics printed out.
And that was the only way youcould find out the lyrics to
songs back then.
Now you got on the internet andyou, you find out I lost the
lyrics to this song, but you hadto wait.
Was it in smash sheets thatweek?
Yes.
Now I finally know the lyricstoo.
(30:40):
Uh, spice Girls wanna be Get in.
Jerry (30:42):
Yeah, without, again, the internet has just made
everything so accessible.
So backdoor sluts nine, justMay.
Maybe we should, maybe we shouldhost a party where we played
some O where we play some olderfilms.
Matt (30:56):
so you might have those sort of parties where you live
with, but they're not somethingI partake in.
Maybe people come and.
Jerry (31:02):
I was, I can go to the cinema that you frequent.
Matt (31:06):
Yeah.
Don't, I'm banned now I need toknow, um, dear Backdoor, sluts
nine.
Obviously it's American'causeit's gone on to the ninth one.
Did it wrap up on the last one?
Jerry (31:16):
I am not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not into sluts.
It's not, it's not my thing, youknow,
Matt (31:23):
It's not the anal, it's just the sluts.
Jerry (31:25):
I, I'm more of a front door kind of guy, you know, I'm,
I'm a gentleman.
Matt (31:29):
Front door respectable people four.
Jerry (31:33):
Yeah.
Matt (31:34):
that sounds very
Jerry (31:35):
Man.
Matt (31:36):
it?
Jerry (31:36):
This podcast has really taken a turn.
Matt (31:38):
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's gone dark quickly, isn'tit?
Hmm.
Jerry (31:43):
I think this is what happens when we go beyond the 20
minute mark.
We just start going off therails.
Matt (31:47):
Yeah.
People will see from now onepisode lengths of 10 minutes,
just a quick, you
Jerry (31:51):
Yeah, exactly.
Matt (31:53):
Okay.
Well, I think we've hit 30minutes and I think
Jerry (31:55):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Matt (31:56):
before we get arrested or or other, we should probably
this up.
Jerry (32:02):
That's right.
Matt (32:02):
see you next time.
And just a
Jerry (32:05):
We shall, uh, see you soon.
Matt (32:06):
I'm gonna do some admin on the, on the call.
Jerry, don't forget when I stoprecording, can you not leave?
'cause it will delete your
Jerry (32:12):
Oh, that's right.
Yes, that would be helpful.
You know what?
Lemme get the fuck outta here.
All right.
Matt (32:17):
alright.
Catch you next time.
Jerry (32:18):
Alright.
Cheers.
