Join us at the bottom of the garden
Ever sprained an ankle while playing with a dog or tried moving a sofa through a too-narrow doorway?...
In our grand finale of season two, we share the hilariously unplanned and chaotic moments that have shaped our journey. From savouring the rich flavours of Vocation Brewery's Double Tonka Frappe Coffee Stout to recounting our mishaps and near-disasters, this episode is a rollercoaster of humour and camaraderie. We also take a moment to appreciate our loyal 'Fab 50' listeners and our growing international audience, including new friends from Kensington, Germany, and Cairo.
As we ponder this and other reasons for our season break, we look forward to launching a website and bringing in a Forbes-listed guest for season three. We're also planning a meet-up in October, where we might record some special audio snippets for you. Amid the banter, we discuss the logistical challenges of moving house while balancing parenting, the value of good beer, and the quirky joys of life. Plus, we've got some nostalgic stories about past injuries and humorous dad anecdotes that you won't want to miss.
Finally, we wrap up with some unexpected first looks, including a luxurious sailing yacht, All Saints' first African store in Cairo, and the UK's first Museum of Illusions in Manchester. Amid the playful critiques and last-minute scrambles that shaped this episode.
We share some wholesome dad jokes to leave you in stitches. As we bid farewell, we express our heartfelt gratitude for your support and remind you to stay in touch via email or Instagram. Until next season, stay tuned and keep the laughter alive!

Here we go.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It's Vocation Brewery .
I've had Vocation Brewerybefore.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Okay, special edition .
Show me the count.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It's a double Tonka frappe Coffee stout.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Okay, no see, no coffee stout.
I am a fan of coffee stout 8%,which is reasonable.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
It's a nice yellow, yellow can of a glass with
whipped cream and chocolate anda straw.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
That's going to be delicious.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
A double Tonka Frappe , bold and beautiful beer for
the many, a rich and full bodiedstout with freshly brewed
coffee aromas.
The addition of tonka beansadds a complex sweetness and a
depth of flavour, boosting thecoffee notes and bringing out
vanilla, caramel and chocolate.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Now see, that's going to be incredible.
Absolutely, she's now suitablefor vegans.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
You're only saying that because of my flight, if I
got it, you'd be.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
There's one that Bauder used to do called Spill
the Beans Porter.
You're only saying that becauseof my thought.
If I got it.
So, there's a one that Bordaused to do called Spill the
Beans Porter, and it was a Welshbrewery who made it, and coffee
vanilla porters are the best.
There's one called WorcesterChestnut Ale, which is amazing.
Georgie knows beer better thanyou know beer.
You drink shit beer.
(15:25):
She's bought you.
No the can.
I don't like the can.
I'm not going to lie.
I don't like all the creamystuff, but that that's going to
be incredible.
I'm very jealous.
This is the first time I'mjealous of a thirsty first Cue,
the game Cheers.
Enjoy that, enjoy that'sincredible.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Yeah, that's really nice.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That's really nice but then the coffee stout beer
like, especially as theweather's got cold oh, that's
lovely.

Listeners, I've got to let you peek behind the
camera.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Oh, that's really good, very good.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
When he finds a good beer gets so happy, his little
face glows.
Like he doesn't just look happy, his whole body moves.
Like his posture gets better.
Like good beer improves hisposture, his chest comes out.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
But it's really like that, that first look, that
first taste that's anotherpodcast series.
First tastes is it's reallyimportant, isn't it?
Because you only get firsttaste once, yes, and if it's a
good one, oh, and then you'rejust chasing, chasing that first
taste again, and then you justdon't get it, you do, but again
(16:59):

Speaker 2 (17:00):
I'm a big fan of coffee and vanilla and caramel
notes, if they get the balanceright.

Well, give me a few cans ofthat for when I'm over, would
you?
Speaker 1 (17:15):

All right, I'll start , if you don't mind.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Absolutely not go ahead.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So my first look relates to is linked to one of
your first looks a few episodesago.
Very similar Now Mr Hodgkiss is.
Although he looks like PeterPan, he's a little bit older
than me by a couple of months.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
And he bags in a bar to prove it.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
And I've had a very similar experience to him.
I was playing with a dog and soyou know, tug of war, toy with
the dog.
I just I stepped I stepped,just stepped, just to clarify
(18:25):
Just to clarify.
Just to clarify I wasn't doing amarathon run, I wasn't down the
gym, I didn't do a 10K race.
I wasn't playing football, Iwasn't playing rugby.
I wasn't doing anything extremeactivities.
I stepped to the left theloudest crunch sound I've ever
(18:58):
heard and my left ankle justwent to the side and collapsed.
I fell down on the sofa inagony and, yeah and yes, the
(19:20):
next day it was swollen, bruised.
It was just a sprain in the end, but I shouldn't get a sprain
from just stepping on my foot.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Time to go.
Warn the dog oh sugar.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I mean I would like to say it was an old war injury
or something like that, but itwasn't.
I got hit by a car walking backfrom a hooters competition.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yeah, after the hooters um bikini contest that
was champions league I can'tremember that was the next night
exactly we've been to hospital.
We went to hospital the nextnight, was it.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
No, so we went to the bikini contest.
Did you go to the bikinicontest?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
No, I didn't go to the bikini contest.
I was working in Bungus.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Hill.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
You came in to see me .
I was at the bikini contest,absolutely leathered.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
So I finished the bikini contest.
I think we had a pop by myfriend's place To pick up
something, because there was aday where you needed an ID and,
yeah, I just got hit by a car.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Well, you stopped right in front of a car.
Let's be honest.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Well, no, no, no, it drove through an amber light,
but yeah, so it hit me and yeah,so that's where the original
injury came from and it neverreally recovered.
But yeah, now I just step on itand it sprains because I'm old,
but yeah, so my first look at a40-year-old plus dad injury
(21:02):
Nice so which I know you saidabout with your bowling.
So that's my first look at adad injury um it's all downhill
for me, mate.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I'm not gonna lie like yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
So I've got, um, I've got my dad dancing coming up.
In a couple weeks I'm probablygonna have to wear an ankle
support, just uh, just to giveit a little bit of extra support
because, um, yeah, I don't wantto just step to the left on a
try to slide or do it to themacarena or something and that
(21:34):
just collapses on me.
But, um, yeah, so my first lookat uh, a dad injury oh god love
.
That's terrible, but the crunchis the best word I could use to
explain the sound.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Was it like you tried the pack of Quavers?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
No, something with a bit more Doritos, or Doritos,
yeah, some Doritos actually.
Yeah, a big pack of Doritos,just like that was, yeah, the
sound of it.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
They're not good so I went to so again, following on
from this conversation about dadinjuries, I I saw I may have
said this already, so Iapologize for repeating myself I
spoke to um and there's someconnecting of the dots go to the
physio about a couple of theinjuries and if it yet you have
(22:29):
to start building strengtharound your joints.
So it's like you think, okay,do we need to?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
So our tank calls and stuff you have to.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
This is where you see all the mammals the middle-aged
men in Lycra riding bikes.
You see all these peoplerunning and they look like
they're about to collapse anddie, but they're not.
They're trying to build up themuscle around the joints so you
need to.
You need to get yourself outthere.
If your ankles are sore, maybeyou need to start swimming or
rowing or running or cycling Idon't know something like that,
(23:00):
maybe some what they calledthose dance, those dance classes
, fitness classes, zumba, zumba.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah, he's a bit of Zumba, maybe.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Ladies and gentlemen, he's trying Zumba in front of
me right now.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
It's quite interesting.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, get some Zumba on the go.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
That's why it's good me and Craig don't live in the
future, because we'd be going ona Saturday morning, we'd be
going to Zumba classes togetherand I'm like just to go to the
next.
First look, that was a greatstory, craig, great story so, uh

been trying to move home.

Yeah, it probably was , and we've finally done it.
We've finally got over the lineand we're in our new home.
I don't know what it soundslike to anybody else but the.
I couldn't find my podcastmicrophone, so we've only been
in the new place for just a weekand and somewhere in a box,
somewhere it's my microphone.
(24:19):
I don't know where I'm going todo podcast, so I've had to do
it in headphones and with amicrophone patched in.
So I apologize for the sound.
It's bad, but we've moved homeand, williams, much like your
dad injury, I'm going to say Iam a broken man, I am sore, I am
(24:40):
tired, I am cranky.
Moving home is like one ofthese special moments.
And, yes, the picture of thekeys was lovely.
I sent you a picture of thekeys.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
And it was like there we go, we've got the keys.
It's like the top five, moststressful thing.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Actually, we have moved house a lot, so we've been
my wife and myself are theseone of these people?
We've lived in a lot of houses,we've done a lot of things.
We're always kind of like, oh,moving, moving across to try and
move off, and never really kindof bothered about where we live
.
We just work.
Okay, we'll try these things.
This move, though, has brokenus.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
It's broken us, but it should be the last move for a
while yeah, well, we're at theage now as well.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
We've got the fab 50 and we're the fab 40.
It's.
We're at the stage now wherewe're like you know what, don't
really want to move again, Ijust want to.
I think in the words of sheldonfrom the big bang theory I'm
too old for this crud.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I don't want to move again well, and also, if you
lift a box, it won't break anankle or something.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
So you may break it's a dangerous thing now, these
days well, I'll tell you thisone.
So I I have, the house we movedout of was a three-story house
and we, to get rid of stuff, wejust put everything upstairs out
the way.
So but then you put it up there, you move house, you've got to
put it all back down yeah soyeah, the amount of ups and
(26:07):
downs, and ups and downs, andups and downs of staircases was
just ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
My poor knees well, they can't take it but did they
help build up the joints, themuscles around the joints?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
apparently may have done it.
There was.
There was one particular periodyou talked about this trend on
the doritos and going crunch.
There was one.
There was one particular periodyou talked about this trend on
Doritos and going crunch.
There was one.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
There was one thing when you, you know, when you
miss a stair, yeah so I wascarrying boxes your heart skips
a beat at that moment as well,doesn't it?
Oh, it really does so I'mcoming down.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I can't see the stairs.
I'm counting the stairs and Ithink I'm at the bottom of the
stairs.
Oh no, but I'm not at thebottom of the stairs and I
landed on the knee and I waslike oh shit.
And I was like take a minute.
I was like, oh, I'm all right.
I'm all right, I'm all right,but the adrenaline that just
(26:58):
shot through straight away.
I was like I've done somethinghere.
I've done something here.
And the last thing, like mywife's a nurse, which means she
has no sympathy.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
The adrenaline the adrenaline when you're a 40 year
old dad is missing the step.
What a buzz that was.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
What a buzz buzzing off my tits, mate.
I missed the step.
Aye, aye, get out of it.
And so I was buzzing off mytits, mate.
I missed a stare.
Aye, aye, get out of it.
And so I was buzzing off mytits, having missed a stare, and
my first thought was, if you'resore and you have to say to
your wife, brad, I've hurt me, Iwas like I can't do it.
(27:40):
I can't do it because she'd belike take some pills and I'll be
like no, jenny, there's nosymptom.
No symptom, she's like she'smostly and she's right, she's
like it's most of it isself-inflicted, or me being a
big Jenny and there's nothingwrong with me.
This one was like I've hurt myneck.
(28:01):
Have I have?
I have I?
No, I'm alright, I'm alright,right.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I'm all right.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
So we survived.
But the general stress ofmoving house, yeah, it's lovely
to actually be in, but I haveempathy for anybody who has to
do it, because you have so manythings especially.
You know we said before thispodcast is two dads doing silly
things, so it's all the parentsout there will probably
(28:28):
appreciate.
You're also trying to like yourkid's having to move house and
if your kid's been settledsomewhere and you're like, right
, we're going to move to thisnew house, it's unsettling for
them but you're still trying towork.
You're having to do all theadmin and all of this stuff is
everywhere.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Life goes on, you can't take off later time.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
So no, you can't, you can't, so you have to kind of
like we at one of our biggestworries.
So in in the new house, frames,babies, it's old and it's had
it since it was three and we'vetaken it off and put it down.
And taken it off and put itdown and in the new place,
because it's in the loft areayeah, that because he's got the,
the ease and the roof slants.
We're like all these beds, oneof those cabin style beds, and
(29:10):
like, oh, it probably won't fitvery well, so we'll get him a
new bed.
But then, like the stress ofkind of and it's not really
stress you just kind of getwhere you're getting upset but
you start overthinking well, howattached is it to this bed,
what's gonna happen if we don'tgive it?
And with him, is it gonna freak?
out yeah, yeah, yeah.
(29:30):
You overthink everything,everything, everything small
becomes a bit of a I don't knowdid you have me?
This did you we had a company.
So what we did?
We had a week of overlap.
Um so we did.
I reckon we probably moved halfof the house ourselves yeah and
then we had two blokes on a vanto come and move the sofas and
(29:53):
the beds.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, and all the awkward stuff worth having funny
yeah, they were, so they camefor about six hours and did all
that a lot of people do it allthemselves and the amount of
stress and like just moving asofa is just like up and down
stairs from one place to thenext place is just an absolute
(30:16):
nightmare.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Well, we couldn't fit our sofa in the front room, so
our sofa and my sofa iscurrently in a different room
because that's where it wouldfit.
And then we had to go to Oxfamto get a smaller sofa that would
fit so good to make this in thefront room.
So, yeah, can you imagine doingthat?
Can you imagine if you're ahusband and wife, or a husband
and husband or a wife and wife,and you're lifting this sofa to
(30:37):
me, to you, to me, to you, so atleast with the movers doing it,
and they say this is okay,you're like, you believe them.
You're like well, they'reprofessionals.
So they say this doesn't fitthey've done it so many times
imagine, right, imagine you'removing a sofa with georgie and
it's really heavy and it'sreally awkward.
We would imagine it.
Yeah, you won't be married.
You've mentioned, yeah, thiswill fit, this will fit, but it
(31:00):
just won't fit.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yeah, have you ever had a problem with it not
fitting well or you get, or youget, or you get halfway up, and
then it's too big and then yourealize it's too big and then
it's stuck.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah so what you're saying is you've got it halfway
there.
Well, if, when you're trying togo around the corner, trying to
go around like wow, but is thisthe first date?
Second date, third date, soyou're moving house, you're
trying to go around the corner.
See, these are the stresses.
(31:36):
These are the stresses so yesfirst look at moving house.
I'm just going to make thatnoise, just think flipping Nora.
First look at moving house I'mgonna make that noise, just
thank, like a horse flippingnora.
It's done flipping nora it'sdone, you've.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
I've had a nice first look at the house today.
The wi-fi had a tour of thehouse.
I left the room to the hallway,umaged to go outside, pitch
black.
He's got windows, everybody.
He's got windows, there'swindows.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
You expect there to be windows, don't you?
Yeah, and you're glad when yousee that there are windows.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
I think I saw at least four, four windows, which
is exciting yeah, lots ofwindows.
And then yeah, the Wi-Fi ranout.
Yes, and before that, and thenyeah, the one, if I ran out.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
So, yes, and before that, you got to see Brian
dancing like an absolute lunatic.
I did, I did.
It can not.
Some concerns me.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
I was quite impressed with his dancing, to be fair.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
I'm very concerned.
I'm concerned about the manhe's going to be.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I think he's got some leaves he's got something.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I'll see what happens .
He's got something.
What's in that thing is whenyou're on sun, you've got no one
to blame but yourself if itturns out to be a lunatic.
It's probably because the wayhe's being brought up yeah, yeah
absolutely.
Anyway, that was my first lookat moving home, don't get it
unless you have to tips for dads.
Tips for dads don't go unlessyou have to tips for dads.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Tips for dads don't move home.
Tips for dads.
Tips for dads get your tips outfor the dads.
Have you got any tips?
Speaker 2 (33:17):
if I haven't any tips , the tips would be it would
probably be related to movinghome and we just touched on it.
Don't don't be overly manly andbe like I can move the sofa, I
can move all of this myself,because you're on a hiding to
nothing.
You'll hurt your back, you'llhurt your knees, you won't fit
(33:38):
it through the door.
Your wife will shout at you.
Just do yourself a favour andpay the professional movers to
come and do it for you andactually actually I do have
another tip as well, worth everypenny if you do move house,
first thing to do set up thespeakers.
Get the music playing makeseverything better.
That's a good tip.
Yeah, forget, forget all the,they've got it all.
(34:00):
Where should we put it?
No, set the speakers up, getyour favourite tunes playing and
it boosts the mood.
So when you're moving stuff inthe boxes, you've got good tunes
playing everyone does it in ajoyous way.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
That is a very good tip.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Tips for dads.
Tips for dads Prioritise music.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
My tip is, and which has actually been recommended by
the wifey wife, by the wifeywife, which links to a previous,
a previous episode.
So when, when you realise youshouldn't say something and use
the word hanging, when you'rereferring to someone's bosoms,
(34:49):
when you realize that when yourealize that and you realize
you're wrong using the wordhanging for bosoms for your
wife's bosoms in particular umdon't then go on a podcast and
refer to your wife's bosoms ashanging.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Yeah, no, that is a good tip, to be fair, that's a
good tip about the tips.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Yes.
Tips for dance.
Tips for dance.
Tips for dance.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Don't say the tips to hangings.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
You'll get in trouble so this is for the moms.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
This is for the women in the group.
First look for the mom.
Why?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
are we doing that?
Speaker 2 (35:36):
I don't know, just because I feel like it's a
proper, like the people I'mabout to talk about would
probably give my mom like oh,young man.
So we got, and I mean it's nota very manly thing to do or to
talk about this subject, but wewent to see uh.
(35:57):
The world premiere of uh thelame is a robla arena tour show.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
So Les Miserables, the West End production, are
doing a big arena show?
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Oh, I didn't know that and it's going on a world
tour.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Oh, and there's too many involved in the show who
all the moms love.
When I say moms, I don't meanmoms as in our, our wife moms, I
mean like the grandma's love,all right, like my mom loves,
yeah, michael ball and alfie bow, oh, young man, uh, so they're
(36:37):
doing the lane miserab the tour,and they're the two.
They're the two kind of jeanvaljean and javert um, and it
was in the belfast arena thisweek an arena tour is that is
that too big though, for uh.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
So is it as per the west end, but in an arena or it.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
It was genuinely incredible, like really was just
like holy crap, this is reallygood.
Um, so it was.
I bought leslie on ticketsbecause let's unlock limits did,
you did you hear the peoplesing?
We did hear the people sing andit blew me away.
The we bought Leslie on ticketsto go and I almost forgot
(37:19):
another bought them because weput the tickets so long ago.
Yeah, but we remembered andremembered and we got a
babysitter and we went.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
And we had good seats on the ground floor.
And even when you walk into thearena because it's an arena the
stage and the lighting setup isincredible.
Yeah, and they've got this.
It's not like just a stage.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
They've got stuff in front of the stage and it lifts
up and then it reveals theorchestra If they've got an from
the front of the stage and itlifts up and then it reveals the
orchestra.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
I think on the arena there's so much more they can do
.
Yeah, and they really did Likethe lighting and the screens and
just everything was brilliant.
And Michael Ball can sing andAlfie Bowe can sing even better,
and then the ensemble cast cansing even better than the pair
of them.
It was just really, reallyimpressive.
So I mean it's a very good.
(38:09):
We came out just thinkingthere's a lot of plot holes in
that story, really, like itdidn't really.
It was like Javert was allpissed off and jumped off a
bridge.
You know why are you jumping offa bridge, you lunatic.
And then the girl who's in lovewith a guy and she's in love
with somebody else decides tolike, run over the barricade and
(38:30):
ends up dead and he's all happybecause the person she dies in
the guy's arms, even thoughshe's not on the way.
If we don't love you, let'slook at the evidence here.
Wells, right, she's in lovewith this guy who's just fallen
in love with another person whois known for less than 24 hours.
If I'm the girl who's like, ohwell, I can.
I'm thinking, actually, if he'sfallen in love with her for the
(38:53):
24 hours, it's clearly a bitmentally unstable.
Maybe I'll go for his friendJohn Smith or something like it.
There was a lot of things justlike that doesn't make any sense
, that wouldn't happen, but yeah.
Of things just like thatdoesn't make any sense, I
wouldn't happen, but yeah.
But then again, you're notreally there to critique the
story.
You're there to hear thesingers and see the stage, no,
(39:14):
and see Michael Ball the bearknees in Sunday best thing in a
song about stars.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Michael Borman or Alphabet man.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
I see I did like Michael Ball Until, until it
took over.
Sunday Love Songs From SteveWright.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
So Legs, enemy.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Big shoes to fill, big shoes to fill, and he does
not Feel them well either, likehe's too Fawny and Michael
Ball's Michael Ball.
I like him as a singer and Iliked him in Hairspray, but I'm
not a big fan of him on Sundaylove song, but in the arena he
was brilliant.
He was absolutely brilliant.
There was a guy there's a guyfrom Northern Ireland who we
(39:54):
used to work with called PeterCorey, who originally played
Java in in Les Miserables and heplayed it.
He was one of the first people.
He organised an arena show ofLes Mis in Belfast about 20
years ago and we went to hisChristmas show a couple of years
ago and he sung Stars, which isthe big Javert song, and we saw
(40:16):
him sing it and we saw MichaelBall sing it.
And here's one for the NorthernIrish folks Peter Corey sang it
better but Michael Ball wasstill very good.
But Alfie Bo was far betterthan Michael Ball.
Alfie Bo was genuinely like wow, he's really good.
He was brilliant.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
The whole show was brilliant what's the capacity at
Belfast Arena?
Speaker 2 (40:41):
so it's not the full arena.
The stage is about a third ofthe way up.
They've been here for 10 daysand they're doing a matinee and
evening show, so it's not thefull arena.
The stage is about a third ofthe way up.
Okay, so they've been here for10 days and they're doing a
matinee and evening show and Ireckon there's probably about
6,000, 7,000 seats and they'vesold out the whole thing sold
out.
Good yeah, I've played with alot of people.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
But it's a big cast.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
There's like 40, 50 people and the orchestra and
stuff, so must be good at whenthe battle scenes and things
must be.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
Yeah, it's all.
The lights are going off andlike there's lasers being fired
and I said, to let it looks likeStar Wars and one of the lasers
.
And you just wanna under thebonner and like she was.
Like I've been shot but thewhole thing was lovely.
It was a really good night,really good show.
(41:33):
Good to see michael born afterbow, because we didn't know they
were in it, like we just bookedthe tickets and yeah, they were
there and it was.
It was good.
I would recommend it to anybody.
I would recommend it to anybodyAny more first looks from you,

using Copilot, so I just want toremind listeners you can write
in your own questions.
They know, all know.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
Can I ask why you feel the need to use Copilot and
Google?
Is everything okay,everything's fine, are you okay?
Speaker 1 (48:24):
I'm just not as knowledgeable as you.
Are you okay in yourself?
I am.
Well, I've finished my beer.
I've finished my beer.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
Are you taking the right time to give yourself a
break?
Speaker 1 (48:36):
Do we have time for another Thirsty First, or is it
a bit late?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
Oh no.
Are you drinking to drown thesorrows?
Are you drinking to drown thesorrows?
Are you drinking to mask somefeelings inside, or are you
drinking for the joy?
I'm drinking for the joy.
That's okay, I'm alwaysdrinking for the joy.
Are you sure?
Yes, open up the fridge andhave another beer.
Open the fridge.
Speaker 1 (48:57):
Oh, I don't know, but I've just had a nice one though
.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
What have you got now ?
Speaker 1 (49:03):
Thirsty first, thirsty first, thirsty first,
thirsty first.
Oh no Ooh, death by cherries.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
Now, as a wise gnome, I can safely say put that back
in the fridge, because it'sgoing to be horrific.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
It's a fruit sour 4.5%.
It's a black black tin with apair of cherries, but as skulls,
red skulls, that's quite goodartwork.
Rich, jammy tart, amouth-wateringly jammy,
(49:47):
kettle-soured fruit beer, fullto the brim with black cherries
for an intense, rich, sweet andsour brew, as vibrant in flavour
as it is in colour andrefreshing to the very end.
It sounds horrendous, so itmight be.
I mean, it's quite the contrastto what I've just had.
(50:07):
But let's give it a go, sean,if I were you, I would not even
bother opening it.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
Oh, I've just opened it.
Speaker 1 (50:16):
What do you know?
Speaker 2 (50:19):
That's probably going to be purple and horrendous.
Speaker 1 (50:23):
Yeah, I've no idea what colour is it.
I think I've discovered.
I don't really like it's purple.
It's purple.
No, yeah, I don't like saladbeers, but I quite like mustangs
.
Cheers, is your face right nowwhat I'm making?
Cheers, good luck.
(50:43):
Cheers, is your face all rightnow I was making.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
I can't Cheers Good luck.
Speaker 1 (50:54):
It's not too bad.
Actually, that's not too bad.
Speaker 2 (50:57):
He's lying.
Speaker 1 (50:58):
No, it's not.
I was expecting more of a, butit's all right, cheers, cheers.
So no or no?
Yes, daniel the ai has spoken.
Hello ai okay.
So ai has said hey, no at all,no, hello.
(51:21):
Can you tell us about the firsttime you saw something truly
magical in the garden?
What was it and how did it makeyou feel?
Speaker 2 (51:35):
I can, I absolutely can, so I love spending time in
the garden.
I would recommend anybody whois feeling a bit stressed to
spend time outside, and Iremember vividly the first time
I fell in love with being in agarden.
It was when I grew a dahlia, apink dahlia, and I was blown
(52:03):
away by the symmetry, the shapeand the colour of this wonderful
little flower.
But we grew this little dahlia,me and Mrs, mrs
Know-It-All-Know.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
Oh, I haven't met Mrs Know-It-All-Know yet.
We need to get her on thepodcast.
She's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
She's got a mint bottle and she she helped me
grow and look after this dahlia.
And when the dahlia died therewas a sense of sadness but there
was also a sense of joy that wehad got to experience it.
And I remember thinking tomyself a lot of people had said
about going outside, getting incontact with nature, growing,
(52:41):
planting, being at one with thegarden, and I remember feeling a
sense of absolutely I get it, Iget this, it is worth it.
So the first time I fell inlove with gardening was because
of a pink dahlia and I fell inlove with the garden and being
(53:01):
outside, and ever since then wehave had lovely gardens full of
colour.
Speaker 1 (53:07):
Ah, beautiful, beautiful.
A second question from AI Knowit all Gnome.
We've heard that gnomes have agreat sense of humour.
Yes, can you share a funnystory about two dads doing
something silly that made youlaugh out loud?
Speaker 2 (53:27):
Yes, I can.
I listened to a podcast calledFirst Look Gnomes.
There were two dads on there,one called Mr Williams and one
called Mr Hodgkiss.
I recently listened to anepisode and it was very funny.
Funny because you could see thetrap.
One of the gnomes was talkingabout his wife's bosoms and
(53:54):
about them hanging.
Now, anyone could see that thatwas going to end up in disaster
.
Most people would have steppedback from the brink and the edge
.
But no, not these two sillysausages.
They would head first into theboobs Not for the first time,
(54:18):
I've heard and I sat theregleefully chuckling to myself,
thinking he's going to get introuble for that.
And, alas, what happened?
She wrote in and mentioned itand that does fill my heart with
(54:41):
funny laughter.
I'm just like what a tit.
Speaker 1 (54:48):
No pun intended, a pair of lovely thank you there.
Thank you, you're welcome.

Want to tell it?
Go for it.
I can just bleep it out,Superman right, superman.
Speaker 2 (55:30):
Yeah, I'm just thinking.
Actually this is not a very PCjoke.
No, I just thought actually thecontext of this joke could be
seen as a bit rapey.
Oh dear, you know what I'm notgoing to tell the rest of that.
Speaker 1 (55:53):
No, okay, no.
Speaker 2 (55:55):
I've never really thought about it in any depth.
But as soon as you do thinkabout it in depth, you're like
that's maybe.
Speaker 1 (56:01):
Oh, dear, moving on, I'm going to stop that.
Speaker 2 (56:03):

Let's see what happens so the,the the note on I was walking,
walking along.
He's one today.
(56:51):
He wanted to buy a new horse.
This is walking along down tothe local horse stables as you

He met the local vicar Hello,vicar, how are you doing?
Oh, pretty good, I'm selling myhorse.
Oh, lovely, lovely, a happycoincidence.
(57:15):
Happy coincidence.
So he said how much do you wantfor your horse?
Oh, just a few quid.
Oh, lovely, lovely, I'll buythe horse.
Um.
So he um exchanged exchangecoins, bought the horse and then
, but then realized, oh, what,what commands does he does he?
(57:36):
Uh, um, listen to and um, thevicar went through and explained
.
He said um, so to uh to goforward, you say um, praise the
lord um to go really fast, yousay praise, praise, lord um.
(57:57):

So, yeah, he got the, got onthe horse and, trotting down the
street, trotted over the fieldsand it's a lovely day, you can
(58:19):
see the seaside and he wastrotting along towards the sea,
towards the, towards thecoastline.
And he was trotting alongtowards the sea, towards the
coastline, and he thought let'sgo for a bit of a giddy up and
let's just go for it.
See what?
Speaker 2 (58:34):
you can do.

And we said let's go reallyfast.
He went praise, praise, praisethe Lord.
And off he went, galloping downand he's like oh no, no, I'm
going towards the cliff edgehere.
He's like whoa, horsey, whoa.
But the horse kept going whoa,horsey, whoa, stop, horse, stop.
They just kept galloping andgalloping forward.
There's oh no, the cliff edgeis coming up.
(58:57):
Oh no, oh no, my life is mylife's gonna be over galloping
really fast.
They remembered oh, it's mylife's going to be over
galloping really fast.
And then he remembered oh, it'samen to stop the horse.
So he shouted amen.
And then, just before he got tothe edge, like just before he
got to the edge of the cliff, hestopped.
(59:17):
He stopped and he breathed asigh of relief and he just
looked up and he said, praisethe Lord, you should have done
that instead of your personalGoogle.

It's Vocation Brewery .
I've had Vocation Brewerybefore.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Okay, special edition .
Show me the count.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It's a double Tonka frappe Coffee stout.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Okay, no see, no coffee stout.
I am a fan of coffee stout 8%,which is reasonable.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
It's a nice yellow, yellow can of a glass with
whipped cream and chocolate anda straw.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
That's going to be delicious.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
A double Tonka Frappe , bold and beautiful beer for
the many, a rich and full bodiedstout with freshly brewed
coffee aromas.
The addition of tonka beansadds a complex sweetness and a
depth of flavour, boosting thecoffee notes and bringing out
vanilla, caramel and chocolate.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Now see, that's going to be incredible.
Absolutely, she's now suitablefor vegans.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
You're only saying that because of my flight, if I
got it, you'd be.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
There's one that Bauder used to do called Spill
the Beans Porter.
You're only saying that becauseof my thought.
If I got it.
So, there's a one that Bordaused to do called Spill the
Beans Porter, and it was a Welshbrewery who made it, and coffee
vanilla porters are the best.
There's one called WorcesterChestnut Ale, which is amazing.
Georgie knows beer better thanyou know beer.
You drink shit beer.
(15:25):
She's bought you.
No the can.
I don't like the can.
I'm not going to lie.
I don't like all the creamystuff, but that that's going to
be incredible.
I'm very jealous.
This is the first time I'mjealous of a thirsty first Cue,
the game Cheers.
Enjoy that, enjoy that'sincredible.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Yeah, that's really nice.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That's really nice but then the coffee stout beer

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Oh, that's a.
That's a Christmas time sat bythe fire, sort of beer.
Yeah, so not quite the season.
We're obviously not there yet,although we did put the heating
off for the first time today.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Listeners, I've got to let you peek behind the
camera.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Oh, that's really good, very good.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
When he finds a good beer gets so happy, his little
face glows.
Like he doesn't just look happy, his whole body moves.
Like his posture gets better.
Like good beer improves hisposture, his chest comes out.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
But it's really like that, that first look, that
first taste that's anotherpodcast series.
First tastes is it's reallyimportant, isn't it?
Because you only get firsttaste once, yes, and if it's a
good one, oh, and then you'rejust chasing, chasing that first
taste again, and then you justdon't get it, you do, but again
(16:59):
it's.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I'm a big fan of coffee and vanilla and caramel
notes, if they get the balanceright.
It's hard to beat he's enjoyingit, oh lovely.
Well, give me a few cans ofthat for when I'm over, would

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Wells cheers, wells cheers, thanks to you to the

Shall we start our first looks.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Let's do it.
Wells, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
All right, I'll start , if you don't mind.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Absolutely not go ahead.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So my first look relates to is linked to one of
your first looks a few episodesago.
Very similar Now Mr Hodgkiss is.
Although he looks like PeterPan, he's a little bit older
than me by a couple of months.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
And he bags in a bar to prove it.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
And I've had a very similar experience to him.
I was playing with a dog and soyou know, tug of war, toy with
the dog.
I just I stepped I stepped,just stepped, just to clarify
(18:25):
Just to clarify.
Just to clarify I wasn't doing amarathon run, I wasn't down the
gym, I didn't do a 10K race.
I wasn't playing football, Iwasn't playing rugby.
I wasn't doing anything extremeactivities.
I stepped to the left theloudest crunch sound I've ever
(18:58):
heard and my left ankle justwent to the side and collapsed.
I fell down on the sofa inagony and, yeah and yes, the
(19:20):
next day it was swollen, bruised.
It was just a sprain in the end, but I shouldn't get a sprain
from just stepping on my foot.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Time to go.
Warn the dog oh sugar.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I mean I would like to say it was an old war injury
or something like that, but itwasn't.
I got hit by a car walking backfrom a hooters competition.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yeah, after the hooters um bikini contest that
was champions league I can'tremember that was the next night
exactly we've been to hospital.
We went to hospital the nextnight, was it.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
No, so we went to the bikini contest.
Did you go to the bikinicontest?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
No, I didn't go to the bikini contest.
I was working in Bungus.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Hill.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
You came in to see me .
I was at the bikini contest,absolutely leathered.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
So I finished the bikini contest.
I think we had a pop by myfriend's place To pick up
something, because there was aday where you needed an ID and,
yeah, I just got hit by a car.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Well, you stopped right in front of a car.
Let's be honest.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Well, no, no, no, it drove through an amber light,
but yeah, so it hit me and yeah,so that's where the original
injury came from and it neverreally recovered.
But yeah, now I just step on itand it sprains because I'm old,
but yeah, so my first look at a40-year-old plus dad injury
(21:02):
Nice so which I know you saidabout with your bowling.
So that's my first look at adad injury um it's all downhill
for me, mate.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I'm not gonna lie like yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
So I've got, um, I've got my dad dancing coming up.
In a couple weeks I'm probablygonna have to wear an ankle
support, just uh, just to giveit a little bit of extra support
because, um, yeah, I don't wantto just step to the left on a
try to slide or do it to themacarena or something and that
(21:34):
just collapses on me.
But, um, yeah, so my first lookat uh, a dad injury oh god love
.
That's terrible, but the crunchis the best word I could use to
explain the sound.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Was it like you tried the pack of Quavers?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
No, something with a bit more Doritos, or Doritos,
yeah, some Doritos actually.
Yeah, a big pack of Doritos,just like that was, yeah, the
sound of it.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
They're not good so I went to so again, following on
from this conversation about dadinjuries, I I saw I may have
said this already, so Iapologize for repeating myself I
spoke to um and there's someconnecting of the dots go to the
physio about a couple of theinjuries and if it yet you have
(22:29):
to start building strengtharound your joints.
So it's like you think, okay,do we need to?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
So our tank calls and stuff you have to.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
This is where you see all the mammals the middle-aged
men in Lycra riding bikes.
You see all these peoplerunning and they look like
they're about to collapse anddie, but they're not.
They're trying to build up themuscle around the joints so you
need to.
You need to get yourself outthere.
If your ankles are sore, maybeyou need to start swimming or
rowing or running or cycling Idon't know something like that,
(23:00):
maybe some what they calledthose dance, those dance classes
, fitness classes, zumba, zumba.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah, he's a bit of Zumba, maybe.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Ladies and gentlemen, he's trying Zumba in front of
me right now.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
It's quite interesting.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, get some Zumba on the go.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
That's why it's good me and Craig don't live in the
future, because we'd be going ona Saturday morning, we'd be
going to Zumba classes togetherand I'm like just to go to the
next.
First look, that was a greatstory, craig, great story so, uh
(23:37):
.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
So my first look while in lab two and the first
one I am going to talk about ismoving home.
So, as regular listeners, ourregular Fab 50 would know, we've
been trying to move home.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
We have finally managed to.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, it probably was , and we've finally done it.
We've finally got over the lineand we're in our new home.
I don't know what it soundslike to anybody else but the.
I couldn't find my podcastmicrophone, so we've only been
in the new place for just a weekand and somewhere in a box,
somewhere it's my microphone.
(24:19):
I don't know where I'm going todo podcast, so I've had to do
it in headphones and with amicrophone patched in.
So I apologize for the sound.
It's bad, but we've moved homeand, williams, much like your
dad injury, I'm going to say Iam a broken man, I am sore, I am
(24:40):
tired, I am cranky.
Moving home is like one ofthese special moments.
And, yes, the picture of thekeys was lovely.
I sent you a picture of thekeys.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
And it was like there we go, we've got the keys.
It's like the top five, moststressful thing.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Actually, we have moved house a lot, so we've been
my wife and myself are theseone of these people?
We've lived in a lot of houses,we've done a lot of things.
We're always kind of like, oh,moving, moving across to try and
move off, and never really kindof bothered about where we live
.
We just work.
Okay, we'll try these things.
This move, though, has brokenus.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
It's broken us, but it should be the last move for a
while yeah, well, we're at theage now as well.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
We've got the fab 50 and we're the fab 40.
It's.
We're at the stage now wherewe're like you know what, don't
really want to move again, Ijust want to.
I think in the words of sheldonfrom the big bang theory I'm
too old for this crud.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I don't want to move again well, and also, if you
lift a box, it won't break anankle or something.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
So you may break it's a dangerous thing now, these
days well, I'll tell you thisone.
So I I have, the house we movedout of was a three-story house
and we, to get rid of stuff, wejust put everything upstairs out
the way.
So but then you put it up there, you move house, you've got to
put it all back down yeah soyeah, the amount of ups and
(26:07):
downs, and ups and downs, andups and downs of staircases was
just ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
My poor knees well, they can't take it but did they
help build up the joints, themuscles around the joints?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
apparently may have done it.
There was.
There was one particular periodyou talked about this trend on
the doritos and going crunch.
There was one.
There was one particular periodyou talked about this trend on
Doritos and going crunch.
There was one.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
There was one thing when you, you know, when you
miss a stair, yeah so I wascarrying boxes your heart skips
a beat at that moment as well,doesn't it?
Oh, it really does so I'mcoming down.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I can't see the stairs.
I'm counting the stairs and Ithink I'm at the bottom of the
stairs.
Oh no, but I'm not at thebottom of the stairs and I
landed on the knee and I waslike oh shit.
And I was like take a minute.
I was like, oh, I'm all right.
I'm all right, I'm all right,but the adrenaline that just
(26:58):
shot through straight away.
I was like I've done somethinghere.
I've done something here.
And the last thing, like mywife's a nurse, which means she
has no sympathy.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
The adrenaline the adrenaline when you're a 40 year
old dad is missing the step.
What a buzz that was.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
What a buzz buzzing off my tits, mate.
I missed the step.
Aye, aye, get out of it.
And so I was buzzing off mytits, mate.
I missed a stare.
Aye, aye, get out of it.
And so I was buzzing off mytits, having missed a stare, and
my first thought was, if you'resore and you have to say to
your wife, brad, I've hurt me, Iwas like I can't do it.
(27:40):
I can't do it because she'd belike take some pills and I'll be
like no, jenny, there's nosymptom.
No symptom, she's like she'smostly and she's right, she's
like it's most of it isself-inflicted, or me being a
big Jenny and there's nothingwrong with me.
This one was like I've hurt myneck.
(28:01):
Have I have?
I have I?
No, I'm alright, I'm alright,right.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I'm all right.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
So we survived.
But the general stress ofmoving house, yeah, it's lovely
to actually be in, but I haveempathy for anybody who has to
do it, because you have so manythings especially.
You know we said before thispodcast is two dads doing silly
things, so it's all the parentsout there will probably
(28:28):
appreciate.
You're also trying to like yourkid's having to move house and
if your kid's been settledsomewhere and you're like, right
, we're going to move to thisnew house, it's unsettling for
them but you're still trying towork.
You're having to do all theadmin and all of this stuff is
everywhere.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Life goes on, you can't take off later time.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
So no, you can't, you can't, so you have to kind of
like we at one of our biggestworries.
So in in the new house, frames,babies, it's old and it's had
it since it was three and we'vetaken it off and put it down.
And taken it off and put itdown and in the new place,
because it's in the loft areayeah, that because he's got the,
the ease and the roof slants.
We're like all these beds, oneof those cabin style beds, and
(29:10):
like, oh, it probably won't fitvery well, so we'll get him a
new bed.
But then, like the stress ofkind of and it's not really
stress you just kind of getwhere you're getting upset but
you start overthinking well, howattached is it to this bed,
what's gonna happen if we don'tgive it?
And with him, is it gonna freak?
out yeah, yeah, yeah.
(29:30):
You overthink everything,everything, everything small
becomes a bit of a I don't knowdid you have me?
This did you we had a company.
So what we did?
We had a week of overlap.
Um so we did.
I reckon we probably moved halfof the house ourselves yeah and
then we had two blokes on a vanto come and move the sofas and
(29:53):
the beds.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, and all the awkward stuff worth having funny
yeah, they were, so they camefor about six hours and did all
that a lot of people do it allthemselves and the amount of
stress and like just moving asofa is just like up and down
stairs from one place to thenext place is just an absolute
(30:16):
nightmare.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Well, we couldn't fit our sofa in the front room, so
our sofa and my sofa iscurrently in a different room
because that's where it wouldfit.
And then we had to go to Oxfamto get a smaller sofa that would
fit so good to make this in thefront room.
So, yeah, can you imagine doingthat?
Can you imagine if you're ahusband and wife, or a husband
and husband or a wife and wife,and you're lifting this sofa to
(30:37):
me, to you, to me, to you, so atleast with the movers doing it,
and they say this is okay,you're like, you believe them.
You're like well, they'reprofessionals.
So they say this doesn't fitthey've done it so many times
imagine, right, imagine you'removing a sofa with georgie and
it's really heavy and it'sreally awkward.
We would imagine it.
Yeah, you won't be married.
You've mentioned, yeah, thiswill fit, this will fit, but it
(31:00):
just won't fit.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yeah, have you ever had a problem with it not
fitting well or you get, or youget, or you get halfway up, and
then it's too big and then yourealize it's too big and then
it's stuck.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah so what you're saying is you've got it halfway
there.
Well, if, when you're trying togo around the corner, trying to
go around like wow, but is thisthe first date?
Second date, third date, soyou're moving house, you're
trying to go around the corner.
See, these are the stresses.
(31:36):
These are the stresses so yesfirst look at moving house.
I'm just going to make thatnoise, just think flipping Nora.
First look at moving house I'mgonna make that noise, just
thank, like a horse flippingnora.
It's done flipping nora it'sdone, you've.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
I've had a nice first look at the house today.
The wi-fi had a tour of thehouse.
I left the room to the hallway,umaged to go outside, pitch
black.
He's got windows, everybody.
He's got windows, there'swindows.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
You expect there to be windows, don't you?
Yeah, and you're glad when yousee that there are windows.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
I think I saw at least four, four windows, which
is exciting yeah, lots ofwindows.
And then yeah, the Wi-Fi ranout.
Yes, and before that, and thenyeah, the one, if I ran out.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
So, yes, and before that, you got to see Brian
dancing like an absolute lunatic.
I did, I did.
It can not.
Some concerns me.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
I was quite impressed with his dancing, to be fair.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
I'm very concerned.
I'm concerned about the manhe's going to be.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I think he's got some leaves he's got something.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I'll see what happens .
He's got something.
What's in that thing is whenyou're on sun, you've got no one
to blame but yourself if itturns out to be a lunatic.
It's probably because the wayhe's being brought up yeah, yeah
absolutely.
Anyway, that was my first lookat moving home, don't get it
unless you have to tips for dads.
Tips for dads don't go unlessyou have to tips for dads.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Tips for dads don't move home.
Tips for dads.
Tips for dads get your tips outfor the dads.
Have you got any tips?
Speaker 2 (33:17):
if I haven't any tips , the tips would be it would
probably be related to movinghome and we just touched on it.
Don't don't be overly manly andbe like I can move the sofa, I
can move all of this myself,because you're on a hiding to
nothing.
You'll hurt your back, you'llhurt your knees, you won't fit
(33:38):
it through the door.
Your wife will shout at you.
Just do yourself a favour andpay the professional movers to
come and do it for you andactually actually I do have
another tip as well, worth everypenny if you do move house,
first thing to do set up thespeakers.
Get the music playing makeseverything better.
That's a good tip.
Yeah, forget, forget all the,they've got it all.
(34:00):
Where should we put it?
No, set the speakers up, getyour favourite tunes playing and
it boosts the mood.
So when you're moving stuff inthe boxes, you've got good tunes
playing everyone does it in ajoyous way.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
That is a very good tip.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Tips for dads.
Tips for dads Prioritise music.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
My tip is, and which has actually been recommended by
the wifey wife, by the wifeywife, which links to a previous,
a previous episode.
So when, when you realise youshouldn't say something and use
the word hanging, when you'rereferring to someone's bosoms,
(34:49):
when you realize that when yourealize that and you realize
you're wrong using the wordhanging for bosoms for your
wife's bosoms in particular umdon't then go on a podcast and
refer to your wife's bosoms ashanging.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Yeah, no, that is a good tip, to be fair, that's a
good tip about the tips.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Yes.
Tips for dance.
Tips for dance.
Tips for dance.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Don't say the tips to hangings.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
You'll get in trouble so this is for the moms.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
This is for the women in the group.
First look for the mom.
Why?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
are we doing that?
Speaker 2 (35:36):
I don't know, just because I feel like it's a
proper, like the people I'mabout to talk about would
probably give my mom like oh,young man.
So we got, and I mean it's nota very manly thing to do or to
talk about this subject, but wewent to see uh.
(35:57):
The world premiere of uh thelame is a robla arena tour show.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
So Les Miserables, the West End production, are
doing a big arena show?
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Oh, I didn't know that and it's going on a world
tour.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Oh, and there's too many involved in the show who
all the moms love.
When I say moms, I don't meanmoms as in our, our wife moms, I
mean like the grandma's love,all right, like my mom loves,
yeah, michael ball and alfie bow, oh, young man, uh, so they're
(36:37):
doing the lane miserab the tour,and they're the two.
They're the two kind of jeanvaljean and javert um, and it
was in the belfast arena thisweek an arena tour is that is
that too big though, for uh.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
So is it as per the west end, but in an arena or it.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
It was genuinely incredible, like really was just
like holy crap, this is reallygood.
Um, so it was.
I bought leslie on ticketsbecause let's unlock limits did,
you did you hear the peoplesing?
We did hear the people sing andit blew me away.
The we bought Leslie on ticketsto go and I almost forgot
(37:19):
another bought them because weput the tickets so long ago.
Yeah, but we remembered andremembered and we got a
babysitter and we went.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
And we had good seats on the ground floor.
And even when you walk into thearena because it's an arena the
stage and the lighting setup isincredible.
Yeah, and they've got this.
It's not like just a stage.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
They've got stuff in front of the stage and it lifts
up and then it reveals theorchestra If they've got an from
the front of the stage and itlifts up and then it reveals the
orchestra.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
I think on the arena there's so much more they can do
.
Yeah, and they really did Likethe lighting and the screens and
just everything was brilliant.
And Michael Ball can sing andAlfie Bowe can sing even better,
and then the ensemble cast cansing even better than the pair
of them.
It was just really, reallyimpressive.
So I mean it's a very good.
(38:09):
We came out just thinkingthere's a lot of plot holes in
that story, really, like itdidn't really.
It was like Javert was allpissed off and jumped off a
bridge.
You know why are you jumping offa bridge, you lunatic.
And then the girl who's in lovewith a guy and she's in love
with somebody else decides tolike, run over the barricade and
(38:30):
ends up dead and he's all happybecause the person she dies in
the guy's arms, even thoughshe's not on the way.
If we don't love you, let'slook at the evidence here.
Wells, right, she's in lovewith this guy who's just fallen
in love with another person whois known for less than 24 hours.
If I'm the girl who's like, ohwell, I can.
I'm thinking, actually, if he'sfallen in love with her for the
(38:53):
24 hours, it's clearly a bitmentally unstable.
Maybe I'll go for his friendJohn Smith or something like it.
There was a lot of things justlike that doesn't make any sense
, that wouldn't happen, but yeah.
Of things just like thatdoesn't make any sense, I
wouldn't happen, but yeah.
But then again, you're notreally there to critique the
story.
You're there to hear thesingers and see the stage, no,
(39:14):
and see Michael Ball the bearknees in Sunday best thing in a
song about stars.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Michael Borman or Alphabet man.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
I see I did like Michael Ball Until, until it
took over.
Sunday Love Songs From SteveWright.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
So Legs, enemy.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Big shoes to fill, big shoes to fill, and he does
not Feel them well either, likehe's too Fawny and Michael
Ball's Michael Ball.
I like him as a singer and Iliked him in Hairspray, but I'm
not a big fan of him on Sundaylove song, but in the arena he
was brilliant.
He was absolutely brilliant.
There was a guy there's a guyfrom Northern Ireland who we
(39:54):
used to work with called PeterCorey, who originally played
Java in in Les Miserables and heplayed it.
He was one of the first people.
He organised an arena show ofLes Mis in Belfast about 20
years ago and we went to hisChristmas show a couple of years
ago and he sung Stars, which isthe big Javert song, and we saw
(40:16):
him sing it and we saw MichaelBall sing it.
And here's one for the NorthernIrish folks Peter Corey sang it

here when you kind of like Ijust basically went on the
internet and I've been very busy.
And now, to be fair, you havebeen very busy, but to be fair
also, considering we were meantto record this podcast seven
days ago and then seven daysbefore that, you've had a bit of
time to prepare.
(46:50):
Yeah, it's going to be hit andmiss whether the audience has
come back for that.

Or gnome, how are you doing?
Hello Daniel, how are you?
I'm not too bad.
I'm clutching at straws a bitthis episode Using Google and
using Copilot, so I just want toremind listeners you can write
in your own questions.
They know, all know.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
Can I ask why you feel the need to use Copilot and
Google?
Is everything okay,everything's fine, are you okay?
Speaker 1 (48:24):
I'm just not as knowledgeable as you.
Are you okay in yourself?
I am.
Well, I've finished my beer.
I've finished my beer.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
Are you taking the right time to give yourself a
break?
Speaker 1 (48:36):
Do we have time for another Thirsty First, or is it
a bit late?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
Oh no.
Are you drinking to drown thesorrows?
Are you drinking to drown thesorrows?
Are you drinking to mask somefeelings inside, or are you
drinking for the joy?
I'm drinking for the joy.
That's okay, I'm alwaysdrinking for the joy.
Are you sure?
Yes, open up the fridge andhave another beer.
Open the fridge.

What have you got now ?
Speaker 1 (49:03):
Thirsty first, thirsty first, thirsty first,
thirsty first.
Oh no Ooh, death by cherries.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
Now, as a wise gnome, I can safely say put that back
in the fridge, because it'sgoing to be horrific.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
It's a fruit sour 4.5%.
It's a black black tin with apair of cherries, but as skulls,
red skulls, that's quite goodartwork.
Rich, jammy tart, amouth-wateringly jammy,
(49:47):
kettle-soured fruit beer, fullto the brim with black cherries
for an intense, rich, sweet andsour brew, as vibrant in flavour
as it is in colour andrefreshing to the very end.
It sounds horrendous, so itmight be.
I mean, it's quite the contrastto what I've just had.
(50:07):
But let's give it a go, sean,if I were you, I would not even
bother opening it.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
Oh, I've just opened it.
Speaker 1 (50:16):
What do you know?
Speaker 2 (50:19):
That's probably going to be purple and horrendous.
Speaker 1 (50:23):
Yeah, I've no idea what colour is it.
I think I've discovered.
I don't really like it's purple.
It's purple.
No, yeah, I don't like saladbeers, but I quite like mustangs
.
Cheers, is your face right nowwhat I'm making?

Cheers, is your face all rightnow I was making.
Speaker 2 (50:45):

Actually, that's not too bad.
Speaker 2 (50:57):
He's lying.
Speaker 1 (50:58):
No, it's not.
I was expecting more of a, butit's all right, cheers, cheers.
So no or no?
Yes, daniel the ai has spoken.
Hello ai okay.
So ai has said hey, no at all,no, hello.
(51:21):
Can you tell us about the firsttime you saw something truly
magical in the garden?
What was it and how did it makeyou feel?
Speaker 2 (51:35):
I can, I absolutely can, so I love spending time in
the garden.
I would recommend anybody whois feeling a bit stressed to
spend time outside, and Iremember vividly the first time
I fell in love with being in agarden.
It was when I grew a dahlia, apink dahlia, and I was blown
(52:03):
away by the symmetry, the shapeand the colour of this wonderful
little flower.
But we grew this little dahlia,me and Mrs, mrs
Know-It-All-Know.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
Oh, I haven't met Mrs Know-It-All-Know yet.
We need to get her on thepodcast.
She's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
She's got a mint bottle and she she helped me
grow and look after this dahlia.
And when the dahlia died therewas a sense of sadness but there
was also a sense of joy that wehad got to experience it.
And I remember thinking tomyself a lot of people had said
about going outside, getting incontact with nature, growing,
(52:41):
planting, being at one with thegarden, and I remember feeling a
sense of absolutely I get it, Iget this, it is worth it.
So the first time I fell inlove with gardening was because
of a pink dahlia and I fell inlove with the garden and being
(53:01):
outside, and ever since then wehave had lovely gardens full of
colour.
Speaker 1 (53:07):
Ah, beautiful, beautiful.
A second question from AI Knowit all Gnome.
We've heard that gnomes have agreat sense of humour.
Yes, can you share a funnystory about two dads doing
something silly that made youlaugh out loud?
Speaker 2 (53:27):
Yes, I can.
I listened to a podcast calledFirst Look Gnomes.
There were two dads on there,one called Mr Williams and one
called Mr Hodgkiss.
I recently listened to anepisode and it was very funny.
Funny because you could see thetrap.
One of the gnomes was talkingabout his wife's bosoms and
(53:54):
about them hanging.
Now, anyone could see that thatwas going to end up in disaster
.
Most people would have steppedback from the brink and the edge
.
But no, not these two sillysausages.
They would head first into theboobs Not for the first time,
(54:18):
I've heard and I sat theregleefully chuckling to myself,
thinking he's going to get introuble for that.
And, alas, what happened?
She wrote in and mentioned itand that does fill my heart with
(54:41):
funny laughter.
I'm just like what a tit.
Speaker 1 (54:48):
No pun intended, a pair of lovely thank you there.
Thank you, you're welcome.

seen as a bit rapey.
Oh dear, you know what I'm notgoing to tell the rest of that.
Speaker 1 (55:53):
No, okay, no.
Speaker 2 (55:55):
