Speaker 2 (01:06):
Only 12 years old or something like that.
Which?

Speaker 1 (01:07):
launched in 2012.
There you go.
We are like Tomorrow's World.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Is that still going?
I do not think Tomorrow's Worldis still going, apart from in
nostalgia channels.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, which is ironic , because that's uh tomorrow's
world today.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Wouldn't it be good to go back and see what they did
on tomorrow's world and see howmany of the ideas actually came
to fruition?

Speaker 1 (01:35):
yeah, bit of a reference for millennials.
I think, yeah, I'm trying tothink of something I can't
remember, but, um, yeah, it wasalways weird and wonderful stuff
, wasn't it?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
it was always things.
It was always things thatlooked very space age but in
that kind of 80s space age whereeverything was chrome and all
almost looked a bit like a likea spaceship.
The future was always going tobe very shiny and reflective and
metallic, and metallic, yeah,but a good blast from the past,

(02:04):
that one.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
There you go.
Let's go straight down to theFishbone of Feedback shall we?

Speaker 2 (02:10):
I'm game.
If you are yeah, is your tackleout?
My tackle is out, yes.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Well, grab it and let's go to the Fishbone of
Feedback.
Ow, Thank you.
One listener has written inwrote in in.
Written in, where the correctgrammar is did you claim your
taxes back from culture day?

Speaker 2 (02:33):
oh I, you know what I haven't?
I still haven't there's part ofme which is kind of like
there's part of me which is likeI kind of don't want to because
I feel like I'm taking moneyaway from the school.
Then now I know it was kind ofit was it was all part of the
tesco um tesco initiative, so itwas.
It was kind of grant funded,effectively tesco.

(02:53):
But I'm like, well, that 50pounds is money that could be
used for new sponge footballs orpink custard, whatever the
school needs.
So um consider a donation maybeso I might just it might just
kind of I might just forgetabout it, and it goes to the, it
goes somewhere, goes towardsthe next one um, another user

(03:13):
and this and this blew my mind abit like the.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
It's me mario on the, uh, on the last episode, um,
but this shouldn't blow yourmind, because I know how much of
a fan you are, mr Archie Is itabout Jeff and Gladiators.
And I thought I was as well sotoday, as I had a first look at
a realisation that Blink-182'swhat's my Age?

(03:39):
Again, the lyrics are not.
I walk alone.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
It's I walk alone.
It's, I walk alone.
I walk alone like aftershave.
Yes, yeah, I did not know that.
I.
How did you not know that?

Speaker 1 (03:57):
I did not know that I walk alone yeah, but I don't
actually like listen to thewords so okay, so think, think
about, think about the, thewhole.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yes, I took her out, it was a friday night I walk
alone to get the feeling right?

Speaker 1 (04:13):
yeah, but I've always heard I walk alone oh dear oh,
that's funny, I walk alone.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I suppose it's because we like if it was I wore
aftershave, it would make moresense to us being british,
rather than because we don't usethe word cologne.
Do we?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
no, we don't.
No, I walk alone I'm all alone.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, randomly, we watched blink wait to it reading
and leads last night.
So, yeah, I was home late fromwork and we were like um,
because they're playing belfaston monday and there were tickets
available.
So, last night, randomly thisis just weird how the universe
works I text the wife and saidthere are tickets available on

(04:56):
resale sites.
Would you want to go on monday?
It's a good excuse to seetravis barker.
However, something goes back toschool on tuesday and it's very
expensive.
It's a school night, um.
And then we got home and we putred and leads on and blink 182.
We're headlining to watch the182 set, which meant I didn't
feel like I needed to go and seeit live, but it was a good, it

(05:18):
was a good throwback.
However, I was a bitdisappointed by them.
They, they are.
So this is a complete tangent.
This may or may get, not get, uh, make the final podcast, but
how do you feel about blink 182?
They're now in their 50s.
They're all like around the 50year old, yeah, and as you grow

(05:39):
older.
So how I felt when I was 16, 17, how I talked, how I acted, is
not how I would act and talk now.
So being a waitress on stage,but they are.
Obviously the songs are stillthe same, but in between songs
they're still talking like theytalked when they were like 20.
Like, oh, I did stuff to yourmom and you know who's here to

(06:01):
get fingered and random.
You know stuff like that I'mlike, and a bit of it's like
yeah, I get it, you're in asoldier act.
Now, yeah, because you know,everyone in the crowd was about
18.
So like when bling away 2 firstcame out, all of those people
would have still just beenfigments of their parents
imagination.
But the interaction with thecrowd was like.
I was like are you?

(06:22):
You're all 50, why are youtalking to them about fingering,
about doing stuff to have moms?
And I was like.
I was like when they're offstage and they're taught like
that, and leslie ann said it'sbecause it's like if they're on
stage persona, they kind of youknow, when they go off stage
they're probably just quitenormal blokes, but then on stage
, like yeah, we're bling way too.
We're so punk.
That's the character.

(06:45):
So it was interesting.
I was like, yeah, I don't knowif I could play myself, as you
know, like I was when I was 18.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
One of the best drum sellers I've ever seen it was.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Do you remember?
Do you remember the um, thefirst one that we missed?

Speaker 1 (07:00):
we're meant to go and see them.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
So we went to see bling wait two, but we were
meant to go and see them.
So we went to see Blink-182,but we were meant to go and see
them before that, a year earlier.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
And we missed it.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Do you know why?

Speaker 1 (07:10):
No.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
I had cellulitis, do you not remember?

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
We had tickets to go and see Blink-182, and then I
ended up in hospital for a weekand we didn't go.
I remember saying to you didyou go?
And you're like nah, can't bebothered.
I was like you should have gone.
So we went a year later becausewe came back and we were here
again.
It was a great drum set.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
I like was that the one or was that something else?
You went to where we went out,had a few beers, as you do at
university, and then didn't youwrite yourself a note for you to
, when you woke up the nextmorning, saying I thought I
bought tickets.
You've bought tickets probably,probably.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
That's the kind of thing that we used to do before,
before.
You could kind of say alexa,remind me, I've just done a
stupid drunk purchase.
Yeah, you used to have to writeyourself a note and stick it on
the board, the Pinder board,which will save the story of the
Pinder board for another time.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, I think we talked about that last year,
have we?

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Probably have, but no , it was bling-wait-too.
Yes, interesting, still good,but also a bit cringe.

positive.
Yeah, directly, directly,directly.

I'll get to that directly.
I'll see you directly soon,like shortly, like, oh, it's
coming up quickly.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yes, it's it's just like an implied time period.
It's a bit like what's theSpanish one like mañana, is that
the thing?
So it's like mañana it's like atime period, but it might mean
seconds, years or whatever.
A lot of tradesmen in Cornwallwill say we'll get to that
directly.
No actual defined time period.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
It could be tomorrow, it could be next year.

Speaker 1 (11:38):

It's like, just you know, it'sthe means of hello yeah, what's
on the answer?

Speaker 1 (12:06):

need a reply, so it's just uhhigher, higher for Cornish
people um maid right mate.

Oh Well, sometimes, bird Allright, bird, All right bird you
want a pasty?

seen as derogatory, Like oh,she's a cracking bird.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Over here in Northern Ireland they use bird to
describe babies like ah, she's awee bird, she's a wee bird, a

A term of endearment.

Yes, All right shag, All rightshag, All right shag, I think,
if you didn't say that in aCornish accent and kind of into
Cornish people for ournon-British listeners the word
shag has my dear and things youknow.
Well, that's true, but the wordshag has many connotations.

(13:59):
Most of them are not good.
It generally means having a bitof rumpy-pumpy Rumpy-pumpy, oh
Not in.
Them are not good.
It generally means having a bitof rumpy pumpy, rumpipumpi, oh
not in.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
We don't advertise.
We don't really advertisebecause it's for a bit of fun.
This we're not trying to getfamous, we're just trying to do
it to help to continue being twodads doing silly things.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
And that's the Fishpond feedback.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yay, first looks, do you want to go first?

Yay, first looks, do you wantto go first?

Speaker 1 (20:14):
First thirsty, first today, actually.
Yeah, thirsty first, yay, andthat's going to be something
horrible because it's from thesame selection as before.

So just for our listeners who are unfamiliar
with this feature, while he goesinto his fridge which we keep
forgetting, he has a fridge inhis you mean the cast he has a

pink and purpley sort of colour,battenberg Marzipan and sponge
cake.
Pastry stout.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
So effectively.
Someone's going to have made astout and dripped a couple of
essence of marzipan flavouringinto it.

flavours, however, in a beer.

It's not a thirsty first.

I don't know what that is, so Ican, probably I can try and
explain it myself.
Wikipedia would probably do abetter job.
What is the Blarney Stone?
So it's just something veryfamous.
The term Blarney, meaningbeguiling but misleading talk,

(24:04):
gained currency during the 16thcentury as the MacArthur of the
day attempted to fend off thedemands of Queen Elizabeth I.
Legends about the Blarney ofthe day attempted to fend off
the demands of queen elizabeth I.
Legends about the blarneystone's origin emerged.
It's as plausible as the next.
It was said to have been astone used by jacob as a pillow
when he dreamed of the ladderextending up to heaven with
angels ascending in thesemi-glide, and that it was

(24:25):
brought from the holy land afterthe crusades.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
So, uh, what you do when you go to the Blarney, I
might be.
Yeah, go on, I might bethinking of a different one.
You've got to hide.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
You are high up and you have to kind of lie back and
go upside down to kiss theBlarney Stone and apparently if
you kiss it you get the gift ofthe gab.
So if our podcast improves ofthe Blarney Stone.
So, yes, we went down to Corkto kiss the Blarney Stone and
it's interesting because it wasa beautiful day and Blarney

(24:58):
Castle, which is the BlarneyStone, is at the top of Blarney
Castle.
Blarney Castle is an old castlein Ireland, cold, dank, damp
and with a massive queue to goto the top of this castle.
So we were there.
We went down to Cork to seesome family Hadn't gone down

(25:18):
specifically to kiss the BlarneyStone, but we're like, oh, that
sounds fun, cool, we'll seethat much of that.
Yeah well, we're there andthought, okay, this will be cool
, so we're going to get in thequeue.
Obviously, I didn't reallythink about this because I have
a fear of heights?

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Oh, I've just clicked .
Yeah, I've just clicked, andyou have no heights.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Oh dear, and it turns out I actually don't like
confined tight spaces either.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
At least I think, within the last 10 years they've
actually added health andsafety measures.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
There's people there, there's people there, there's
like there's people there tohold you and stuff.
So you can't, I don't use it.
Yet I think, oh, can youimagine so?
So you hit this queue andyou've got to go to the top of
this castle.
So you, you have to queue, andthe only way to the top of this
castle because it's an old,original castle there's no
elevator, there's no escalators,you just have to go up a spiral

(26:08):
staircase.
But it's so busy and packedbecause it's the summer, you're
in this spiral staircase andyou're just stuck in this spiral
staircase with literallynowhere to go.
And I've never been past thefire.
But yeah, going up it I waslike this is oh, flip mate, if

(26:28):
there's a fire right now, well,obviously it won't matter
because it's a stone building,so it won't catch on fire
necessarily.
But I was a bit like you can'tgo anywhere.
So it's this really tightspiral staircase from the bottom
to the top, and we were stuckin this spiral staircase for a
good hour, just wedged in Onestep at a time.

(26:49):
I thought what if Brain needs awee?
What if we need to go somewhere?
There is nowhere to go, likeyou can't get out, and it kind
of says to you like, oh, this isthe last get off point, yeah,
before the top, and I was like,well, how far is the top?
And I was thinking about it'sprobably about seven stories.
So, anyway, you're in thespiral staircase for an hour.
We get it to the top of thespiral staircase hour, and then

(27:10):
you're just on the edge of thisold castle and there's no kind
of there's like a bit of a wall,but it's kind of a wall where
it's like it's tall, then it'sshort, then it's tall, then it's
short, and you're moving personby person slowly.
So I'm like, okay, now I'm bythe short bit and there's a

(27:32):
sheer drop, and I myself and I'mlike I don't know what I
expected, but I get up there andI'm like okay, well, thank
goodness we're out of thatclaustrophobic and I'm just like
and there's nowhere to gobecause I'm blocked in front of
me.

(27:52):
I'm blocked behind me, there's awall to the left of me, so
imagine this kind of like it's.
Maybe, I don't know.
Let's think about it.
Two foot wide, yeah, curret onthe edge of the top of a castle
with a sheer drop down the side,and Brandon's there, like look
at how high we are, daddy, andjumps up and and I get down, get
down.

(28:15):
Leslie Ann clicked and she'slike, oh crap, he's not enjoying
being up here, is he?
It was like it took it takes.
It takes me a good minute ortwo to actually climb a tides to
the height.
I don't know what I wasthinking, because I've just been
climbing the Spiros, you're sofocused on the claustrophobia
that suddenly, yeah, you comeout and you're on the edge of

(28:37):
the top of this castle, walkingaround this edge.
Anyway, got over it.
Give myself a shake becauseI've got a grippy self.
I'll just kiss you, you'll befine so I actually didn't,
Leslie Ann did, but I didn't.
So we went round and there wasa big queue and you lie down and
stuff.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
So the podcast is doomed.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
The podcast was always doomed.
But no, I didn't actually kissthe blind stand, so Lesley-Anne
did.
She got down and kissed it.
Brain was too small so hedidn't.
So I stood with Brain and I waslike, should I do that?
And I was like I could.
At that time I was like I coulddo it.
I wasn't.
I kind of, because they've gotlike a metal guard so you can't.
You know it's not reallydangerous or anything.

(29:18):
And I was like, nah, I'm allright, I don't need to lie
upside down and kiss to see aman of my rotund shape and lean
back with these two men, liketrying to pull you back from the
edge and you're leaningbackwards over this thing.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
The names do for the Instagram page.
We should have sent a photo foryou.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, well possibly Possibly, but um, because it's
not very flattering when you liedown, you then have to shuffle
backwards, so your lower backback is kind of teetering over
the edge of the castle and thenyou have to lean back.
So yeah, you've got some peopleholding your legs and then you
have to hold these iron bars.
So there's iron bars that arelike, uh, vertical iron bars
that you have to hold and thenkind of pull yourself back to

(30:00):
get it what's what's the holefor actually?

Speaker 1 (30:04):
so where the blind is , then it is.
Yeah, so was that when theyused to chuck that hot boring
water or tar down at invaders orsomething?

Speaker 2 (30:15):
No, no, that's called a glory hole, isn't it?
Or something like that.
No, that's the wrong word.
Is it the glory hole?
No, there is something.
No, that is a genuine hole,isn't it that they throw this in

(30:43):
castles?
That's a Freudian slip Rightwhere that is.
What is it called?
What is the hole?
What is the hole?
You make it cry.

(31:04):
They throw shit down.
What is the hole Above a castleentrance?
Oh God, what have you got?
Send me an image.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
A murder hole.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
It's a murder hole.
A murder hole, a glory hole, issomething else.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Oh, that hurts, it hurts.
Oopsie-daisy.
So you sent me a picture of itupside down.
What's that?

Speaker 2 (31:37):
So that's how you kiss the Blarney Stone.
You have to leave it open ohright, so they have these safety
measures in place now.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah, so before people would just do it, Surely
someone there's been an accidentuh, one person has died um.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Yes, did you know that before you went up, or I
didn't, I didn't know anythingabout it, I just went along
there's like, yeah, that soundsfun, cool, we're going, because
the blind style, I didn't knowyou had to lean upside down, etc
.
Um, sorry, let me get some.
So let me show you, let meshare another picture.
Oh, hang on.
Um, I'm going to share apicture with with what I'm so

(32:17):
you can imagine, so you can seethere the, you can see the
castle, so you can see, likewhen you come out on that second
image and I'm stood up thereand there's nowhere to go, and
you kind, of crammed in and like.
So this is, this is how you doit these days, but, like the gap
that you can see, there is justa gap down to the floor.

(32:39):
Yeah, there's a couple of ironbars there, but it's you know,
it's quite high up.
I mean, it's not stupid high,but like it would, you wouldn't
survive the fall.
No, so, yeah, for somebodywho's not a big fan of height,
it's a beautiful place though.
It's gorgeous and really reallyworth going.
So Brain and me like we went to.

(33:01):
So me and Brain went for a bitof a walk because it was quite
warm.
The in-laws.
Yeah.
So they had all plants andstuff that were all poisonous,
oh gosh, yeah.
So it was pretty cool.
And then we went for a nicelong walk around and went to the
walled gardens and went to ahad a big fern uh garden like a
prehistoric garden, which waspretty cool.

(33:23):
So blarney castle is well wortha visit and the grounds, like
you can.
We spent a whole day there.
It's beautiful, um, andobviously, while we're down
there, I sampled all thedifferent, other than pooping
myself because of claustrophobiaand heights.
We sampled all of the differentstates.
So I had beamish, I hadguinness, I had a guinness, a

(33:45):
special kind of guinness, Ican't remember the name of it,
but it was lovely.
It was an eight percenter.
We had had Murphy's.
What else did we have?
Beach?
Beach was quite nice.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
I must admit I loved the beach.
What would the people of Corkthink of a Battenberg pastry
stout?

Speaker 2 (34:01):
They would probably slap you in the face and shovel
up your glory hole.
That's what I imagine whatwould happen.
But yeah, if anybody travels tothe south of Ireland and wants
to go to Cork, we want moreisland, depending on where
you're from and what you want tocall it.
Call it what you will go toIreland, go to Cork.

(34:23):
We went to Cove as well.
Beautiful place, just.
The people are lovely and I'dsay, really, like you know, of
course they are, the peoplegenuinely are lovely.
Everywhere we went, people werehappy and just nice and it was
beautiful.
So, um, yeah, love island, lovecove, love cork.
Uh, not a big fan of climbingto the top of the blarley stone

(34:45):
with not really knowing what'sgoing on I don't like heights or
small spaces yeah, just one ofthose places where you're like
what's happening?
How am I in a small space?
How am I up high?
Okay, fair enough, serves youright for not doing your
research, but well worth it.
So, yeah, that was my firstlook at the Blarney Castle and
Cove and Cork and all thedifferent stouts.

(35:06):
I can recommend going down andtrying them all.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah, we want to Do that.
That's on our list For somepoint.
I can recommend going down andtrying them all.
Yeah, we want to.
We want to do that.
That's on our list For somepoint.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
If only you had some family who lived in Ireland.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yes, I don't know any .
What about?

Speaker 2 (35:22):
your father.
What's your first look?

Speaker 1 (35:24):
I'll do some little looks, because little Logan,
obviously, he's constantly onthe first look.
So I'll go through some ofthose recent first looks.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
So first of all, I'll go through.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
So he's had his not his first curry, but he had his
first spicy curry.
So he had the same, exactly thesame meal since he was 18
months old, but he had thebasically baby proof curry, same
meal as um, myself and his mumand um, but accidentally, um,

(36:08):
before georgie realized um, andit wasn't much, wasn't much, but
accidentally put in a littlebit of cayenne pepper.
Okay, um, and it was mild forme.
But poor logan bless him, hehad his yogurt and he was.
He was like pouring the yogurtover his tongue, over his face

(36:29):
wow um, yeah, it was.
Uh, it was like we would if wehad, like a super spicy curry.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Yeah, um, but he was, it was fine, just had it all
with his first, first spicycurry and did you want to make
me after like say, here you go,I'm gonna have a sip of this.
They'll call me that have some,have some, san Miguel no, just
chucking, chucking yogurt downyourself.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
It was quite funny.
Oh god love him.
And then links to the, the lastepisode.
So I've moved from the.
You know, I was saying I've gotthe brush toothbrushing song,
the brush, brush, brush, brushyour teeth.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Yes by Yellow.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Which, in hindsight, I should have just phoned you
and said what's this song?
But Georgie's found this songwhich is called.
It's called the Toothbrush Songby Super Simple Songs, called.
It's called the toothbrush song, um, by super simple songs.
It's called um.
You play that and apparentlyevery kid just tunes into this,
this toothbrush song, and um,yeah, perfectly, brush the teeth

(37:36):
.
No issues, no problems.
So that was uh.
So my own song has been put tobed and we now use the
toothbrush song from a youtubevideo of the the toothbrush song
by super simple songs okay, Idon't think I know that one or
it may be.
It may be one, I don't knowabout it, but, yeah, apparently

(37:56):
a lot of parents of little kidsfor the, the brushing of teeth,
the toothbrush song by supersimple songs.
That's the, that's the, that'sthe trick, and it's by super
simple songs.
At the weekend he had his firsthaircut oh, how did that?

(38:17):
go.
He went fine.
He was well done.
He sat on mum's lap, wentreally well.
The barber did well not to cuthis ear off or anything like
that, but yeah, it was good.
But he went from an18-month-old to looking like a

(38:39):
four-year-old.
But yeah, and he had his firsthaircut, very nice.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Well, I'm glad he didn't scream the house down.
When we had brain, my brain didhis.
He had to have two barbers Godlove them and at the same time
and he was just there the wholetime pin him down.
Um, pending him down, I wasvery sympathetic, taking
pictures, thinking this is thefunniest thing ever.
So, um, I'm just gonna go, justgonna bring you back to the

(39:10):
toothbrush song.
Yeah, I am telling you, you andI have missed a trick, we have
missed a boat.
So the brush your teeth kidssongs by super simple songs has
had 129 million views, right?
So just to put that in context,hey, doggie, which is a big
cartoon in the uk for kids fromthe ages of one to probably six,

(39:33):
they have a toothbrush brushingsong which has had 19 million
views.
So imagine if you write alittle jaunt a little, an
original toothbrush singing song, that's, I will have a listen,
but like it's magic for thelittle babies to well, for our

(39:54):
experience, 18 month old it itworks.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
if you're in your kids to brush their teeth or you
know, at least I'd let youbrush your teeth it's the song,
it's just it's a simple song,simple song with simple
animation.
For some reason, kids, kidslove it.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Brush your teeth in the morning and night.
So I'm telling you we need toset up a side hustle.
Well, we haven't missed a boat.
We can still make a boat,because yesterday's Super Simple
Songs or today's Super SimpleSongs is tomorrow's chip paper

(40:34):
or something like that.
I'm sure we could do somethinglike this.
What kind of things do you needkids to do?

Speaker 1 (40:42):
Oh, I've got it, it here.
You go right into somethinglike I said that, but that song
has got how many?
129 million, hey dougie 19million.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
That's a huge difference no, I'm gonna tell
you what I've got it.
I've got it right now.
This, my drunken inspirationhas come, I don't even know.
I think you should maybe mutethe microphones at this point.
If you listen to podcasts, justbeep back.
Okay, this is a.
This is golden idea.
Right, right, what the littleboys love, right, pebbles.
They love rock, poop, no, poop,yeah, poop, right.

(41:13):
What do kids need to do?
They need to learn to wipe thebum.
Yeah, need to make a song thatis funny about wiping bomb, to
get kids to think wiping yourbum is fun.
So the fun, fun, bomb, bombwipe, wipe song, something along
those lines.
Yes, I'm telling you we will.
We will smash 129 million views, we will make it.
We will make it.

(41:33):
Kids love stupid shit channelor whatever it's called.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Yeah, you probably will because.
Um, so sometimes when webecause sometimes when we're
wiping Logan's bum and give hima nice fresh nappy on we ask
Alexa to play the Stinky Bumsong.
So people will be asking forthese sorts of songs.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
So there is one here called Wash your Bum Bum.
It's had 1.5 million views.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
It was put on a year ago, so somebody else has
obviously had this idea as well.
This one's by hey kids so whichone of us two are you uh
presuming has got the musicaltalent?

Speaker 2 (42:22):
oh, I, I have an abundance of musical talent.
So I used to hang around with afriend of mine uh, uh, pretty
danny, danny baldwin and he usedto play a song.
Like you, pick a song, a randomsong it's a play on the guitar
and I'll get the guitar andwithin about a minute you could
play it.
You could play music by it.
So all we're gonna do.
If you see the Father Tedepisode right where they sing my

(42:45):
Lovely Horse, which, to theirmind, was.
My Lovely Horse, my Lovely Horse, my Lovely Horse Beautiful song
, but it was a B-side of somerandom record mix.
So all we're going to do isfind some random Scandinavian
people who've made really goodtunes.
I'll listen to it, learn how toplay it on a Casio keyboard and

(43:05):
guitar.
We'll write the lyrics togetherover a drunken session.
With AI, we can probably getsome computer dolly bird to sing
it.
We'll use AI to make somevideos for it and, before you
know it, we have got achart-topping Wipe your Ass song
for kids 129 million views andwe are off on the bahamas wiping

(43:26):
our bombs with 50 bills.
I'm telling you, alice, it's,it's a foolproof plan.
I'm pretty sure there's nothingcould go wrong with that as
long as we don't let anyone knowoutside of.
Yeah okay, we'll keep it secretthat was my first looks.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
Very good, wiles.
Very good Next up tips for dads.
Tips for dads.
Tips for dads.
Tips for dads.
Get your tips out for the dads.
We were away.
I was taking photos of Logan.
I think he was climbing, Ithink it was some sort of

(44:12):
playground thing.
He was climbing for a pipe orsomething and the good wife was
behind him, took a lovely photo,but then I realised she was in
the background and sort ofbending over and and I said
something like your boobs arehanging out and that's it.

(44:41):
That's it all the words outthere.
Never use the word hanging inregards to your wife's, so you
can say spilling or overflowing,maybe, or bubbling, bubbling
bursting, anything apart fromthe word hanging.

(45:03):
So do not use the word hanging.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
Yes, yes, yeah, absolutely that's it.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
That's my tips for dads.
Tips for dads.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
I do have one of the first look.
So, as our gnomies, regulargnomies, would know, we have
been pursuing purchasing a house, yes, which is getting closer,
hopefully by the time we do thenext episode we'll be in.
So I think we've talked about wemay have talked about in the

(45:41):
last episode or the previousepisode will be in.
So, um, I think we've talkedabout we may have talked about
in the last episode or theprevious episode how ridiculous
the whole process of buying ahouse is.
You're buying something thatwas very expensive and you spend
five minutes in it and you haveto make a decision whether you
want to live there for the next20 years.
Um, so, to show the madness, weneed to get a new kitchen.
Again.

(46:02):
Many dads will probably, uh,empathize with this.
My wife wanted to go and have alook at kitchens.
Um, so I have a first look atkitchen shopping.
Williams kitchen shoppingkitchen shopping and this is
this kind of fires on fuel tipsfor dads.
There are certain things youcan't say like I don't care, um,

(46:25):
they all look the same to me.
I I like that one.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
You can't say I like that one if it's not the one she
likes, no you can't say, oh,that's nice, is it?

Speaker 2 (46:36):
is it nice?
Well, I think so.
It's not nice.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
All right, then I'll take back my opinion me and the
wife wife have learned if youdon't like something, we've come
up with the phrase that's notmy favourite option.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
That's what we use now.
Very good, and do you ever usethat or does just?

Speaker 1 (46:53):
George, use that All the time, all the time.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
You actually say that .

Speaker 1 (46:57):
Yeah Well, no, that's right.
More so she does More so shedoes.
I was going to say that's notan option.
But that's not my favouriteoption.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
So if you get kitchen shopping with your better half
and she asks your opinion, justsay it's lovely, it's lovely,
that's really nice.
If that's the one, if thatmakes you happy, not a problem,
because ultimately, what do youwant out of a kitchen, one of
them's?

Speaker 1 (47:25):
I want out of a kitchen an oven yeah an oven
yeah yeah do you?

Speaker 2 (47:30):
care if it's do you care if it's L shaped?
Do you care if your kitchen is?

Speaker 1 (47:35):
U shaped.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Do you really care about the island or a peninsula?
I mean, it doesn't have an ovenor anything a or a peninsula.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
I mean it doesn't go on anything at george foreman
grill maybe, but well, there yougo.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Have you ever considered shaker doors, handle
list doors, slab doors?
Have you ever given?

Speaker 1 (47:50):
any consideration a shaky what a shaker door.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
A shake a kitchen.
So it's a door with like wood.
It's like a flat piece of woodwith an other wood on top of it.
A shaker door, so it's like awhole.
It's like a Pokemon.
No, it's a type of door, that'sall it is.
It's just a type of door, butapparently it's a thing.
Walliams, a shaker door is athing.

(48:14):
I was like is it not just adoor?
No, no, it's a shaker door, butthen it tunnel is still all on
this.
It's pretty shaking the headsthough Probably things like that
I think it's 90% female.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
Would that be reciprocated if we went to being
cute and I was like, right, Ineed to get some new power tools
, I need a certain type of drill, I need this.
Yeah, I don't think.
I don't think our wives wouldsay, oh yes, darling, I would
engage in conversation with youabout it my wife likes her and
likes a power drill.
Okay so that sounds too yeahyeah, well, it's been

(48:53):
interesting because like wespent you know we were, we were,
we spent.
You know we were, we were, wespent four hours just perusing,
yeah, and you know I was verylike, oh yeah, that's nice, yeah
, I like that, that's good, andyou know.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
And are you?
I don't know if you mentionedthis in the podcast or
separately, but are you?
Are you looking to install ityourself or are you getting
someone in, or?

Speaker 2 (49:25):
You see, I'm very I would class myself as a very
handyman, um, and by that, again, that could be taken one of two
ways hands-on.
I'm very hands-on.
Um, we've got ourselves into alot of trouble.
This episode.
What I mean is, uh, I like abit of diy.
I'd love to install a kitchen,absolutely, and install a

(49:46):
kitchen, and there's no chancein hell more for, let me know,
no, we need a professional.
To date.
What's gonna cost us like fivegrand more, don't care.
Okay, that's fine, we'll justlet somebody else install the
kitchen who doesn't give a shitabout our kitchen, just wants to
get out of the house as quicklyas possible.
We're leaving a lot of traumahere.
So, um, yeah, I wouldn'tinstall an oven and things like

(50:08):
that, but in our last house didyou see our last kitchen?
I'll tell you you're not doing,I probably no, you're not
allowed to install gas and theyhave to be probably gas
certified.
But in our last house Irenovated the whole kitchen.
It was I did a cracking job, Ithe tile in, I took all the
cupboards off and refinish them,did the work tops myself.
Now I did have to go and buy asecond worktop because I

(50:29):
miscalculated and cut the gashub hole wrong.
So I did end up having to buy asecond worktop, which may be
what I still my wife had a bitof dread, but it came out all
right in the end.
Yeah, so you know.
So I think in the new house shewants, yeah, but I think in the
new house she wants it acertain way.
But yes, kitchen shopping itwas.

(50:50):
We spent five minutes choosingthe house we wanted to buy, four
hours looking at a kitchen thatwe didn't end up buying at all
it'll be worth it in the end.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
It'll be worth it in the end so yes, first look at
looking Kitchens.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Good luck to everybody who does it, good luck
.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
Good luck.
My other first look is we wereaway up in Cheltenham and we had
a first look, so we went toAdam Henson's Cotswold Farm Park
.
Oh, that sounds nice.
Adam Henson is Country Fire I.
I believe he's a presenter onthat um, it's in the cotswolds

(51:31):
um, and we went.
It's basically it's a farm, butgeared up for um kids very nice
it is very expensive.
So it's.
It's in the cot's world, soeither the nannies are taking
their kids there or they're offtake their kids there, um, so
it's.
I can't remember the prices now, but it's free for under two,

(51:54):
but then if they're two, thenit's like 15 quid or or
something which um that'soutrageous.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
It says here on the website prices add up quite a
lot um it says here it's a greatvalue family day out.
Are you saying they're like forno?

Speaker 1 (52:11):
no, it just depends on the family, doesn't it?
For the families in the area, Iwould say yes, it is um, but
that being said, we did.
We spent a lot longer therethan we expected.
We were just expecting a fewgoats, but the wife and Logan
got to hold a little baby chickand sort of.
Logan actually got to stroke alittle chick and some rabbits

(52:34):
and things and a sheep, barredLogan.
A little soft play area, whichyou get a lot of these places,
but it was a nice posh soft playarea which you get a lot of
these places, but it's a niceposh, soft play, yeah, middle
class.
Um, yeah, it was a nice, yeahnice.
I would recommend it, um, ifyou've got the money to go um it

(52:54):
looks incredible.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Just like the website and stuff.
Yeah, I mean it?
Looks proper middle upper class.
Yeah, just looking at thevideos I'm like, wow, that is
there.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
And we got lunch there not really thinking about
the prices and ended up spendingprobably too much money.
But, we've been to other sort ofsimilar places.
And you go in and you know, onthe way out we went to a
National Trust thing.
And you go in and you, you know, uh, on the way I went to
national trust thing and we'vegot, you know, you get your
sausage roll, your packet ofcrisps and, yeah, your staple
sort of stuff, that sort ofplace, um, but I ended up having

(53:33):
um, this really posh, tastysort of chorizo and a red wine,
um sauce.
These uh new potatoes with likesalt and crusted, um, parmesan
and crusted sort of new potatoes.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
You posh git yeah, there's like man of the people.
People, ladies and gentlemen.
One of the people with hischorizo sauce and that was you
was there any you?

Speaker 1 (53:58):
there.
Yeah, probably was a bit of zoo, but yeah, really nice Really
nice.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
It looked incredible.
It looked like a lovely placeto go and visit.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
But yeah, out of market, but yeah, lovely weather
.
You get to see lots of animals,you get to learn about animals,
you can feed the goats and allthat sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
They sell booze as well.
Did you try some of the AshtonPress or the Bookcom Bohemia
Lager?
I didn't.
No, I didn't.
I'm just looking at the drinksmenu.
It looks like the food doeslook lovely, like it doesn't
look too overpriced.
So would you recommend youwouldn't go there on a budget
necessarily.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
It's one of those places where you kind of have to
go and be like okay, um, so ifwe went, was like, say, logan
was six months older, um,suddenly you got paid for him.
Say, we went with, you know, mysister's family and their kids.
It ends up being, you know, asa small group it can be quite

(54:58):
expensive.
Um no, I would.
I would, I would probably stillrecommend it if you're in that
neck of the woods with kids.
Yeah, because it's a great wayfor kids to sort of actually see
the animals and stroke them andget involved.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
You can stay there.
By the look of it, it's gotholidays and stuff.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
Yeah, there was, yeah yeah, some sort of like camping
site thing With hot tubs andthings.
Yeah, there was, yeah.
Yeah, some sort of like campingsite thing With hot tubs and
things.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
Yeah, hot tubs and things.
They've got hot tubs.
I'm watching their kind of zipline videos and all the kids
wearing kind of.
Ralph Lauren shirts.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
It's probably similar to like a centre parks type
thing, I suppose.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
Yeah, it looks lovely .
Well, it looks lovely, soyou're having a good time.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
Yeah, I would recommend it.
I would recommend it.
But yes, and Logan got to holda chick.
Yeah, logan got to hold a chick.
I mean, where can you go andjust hold a chick?
Very nice.
Yeah, we didn't really expectit, because the chick bit
because the ladies came acrossand just gave Georgie a chick
and then kind of left us to it.
We're just holding this chickand Logan because he's into

(56:11):
booping noses at the moment soyou end up booping the chick on
the beak.
He's really into boop.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
I'm doing that at the moment.
I'm very tipsy.
You know usually Hugh getsdrunk on these podcasts.

Speaker 2 (56:44):
Oh no, I can go and find out.
He may be drunk tonight, though.

Speaker 1 (56:48):

it on the alcohol.

but it's alternative names ofanimals.

Speaker 2 (57:50):

name of the animal and see ifyou can actually guess what the
animal is.
