Flavours, Festivals, and Fatherhood Feats

Join us for a wild tasting session of Vault City's blueberry muffin, waffle cone crunch, triple scoop, and modern sour beer. Let's just say the flavours had us spitting out some colourful comments, leading to a heated debate on whether dessert and beer should ever mix.

Feel the festival fever, while taking a nostalgic trip back to our virtual Glastonbury 2024. Picture our dining room transformed into a mini-festival, with highlights like Jessie Ware, Kasabian, Paloma Faith, and Dua Lipa lighting up our screens. Not all acts hit the high notes though, as we share our disappointment in performances by Shania Twain and others. Get ready for a rollercoaster of festival emotions, from standout shows to unforgettable flops.

Parenthood is a wild ride, and we’re here to share every twist and turn, from celebrating little Logan's milestones to navigating the chaos of Friday nights with a potent stout in hand. We'll guide you through a Black Country dialect quiz, a passionate review of Neon Raptor's stout, and some practical dad tips for surviving hangovers while keeping up with parenting duties. It's a laugh-filled journey through the joys and challenges of fatherhood, all wrapped up in our signature engaging banter.

Join us for an episode packed with laughter, nostalgia, and practical advice!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:12):
little did you know, but I was in germany for the
euro semi-finals.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
No, way in game yeah, in germany, that one quiet yeah
and uh.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
I was there waiting for the just before the game.
I saw this guy walking aroundwith a long pole Strange.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Really strange.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
So I asked him are you a pole voter?
He said nein, I am the German.
But tell me, how did you know?
My name is Walter, episode 9.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
I didn't go to Germany, unfortunately as soon
as you said you went to Germany,I thought this is episode 9.
He's going to do a 9 joke,isn't he?
I actually, usually I fall forthat hook line and sinker, but I
mean, there was a split second.
I was like, oh nice, you wentto germany for the euro semi and
I was like they didn't go toeuros for the semi-finals.
It's got work.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
There's no way I don't know what would you do.
So, yeah, tickets to thesemifinals, uh-huh.
What would you do?
Because basically, people couldsell their tickets for 16 000
pounds.
Wow, would you still go, orwould you stick it on ebay for
16 000 pounds?

Speaker 2 (01:36):
no, I don't think it is, because think of the think
of the cinema room you could setup for 16 000 pounds.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, think of the, the number of games you can
watch in the room.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, exactly no sick .

Speaker 1 (01:49):
That's ridiculous you probably wouldn't have one
ticket.
You wouldn't really go on yourown.
You'd have at least two ticketsprobably.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
You have a pair of tickets that's 32k.
Yeah, I mean absolutely, Iwould have sold those and yeah,
and not even felt bad about it,I'd have sold those and cheered
for flipping Holland if that waspart of the deal.
Come on, holland, I got my 32grand.
F*** you England, yay, anyways.

(02:13):
Episode nine Episode nine.
Episode nine Episode nine.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Episode nine it's first to first time.
Yay, yay, let's open the firstlist.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
What have you got this week?
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Vault City and it's a blueberry muffin, waffle cone
crunch, triple scoop, modernsour beer.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
That sounds bloody horrendous.
You don't mix desserts.
Sour beer that sounds bloodyhorrendous.
You don't mix desserts and beer.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
You don't try and be like it's not an ice cream
flavour it's a beer.
It's not ice cream flavouredCrunch.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Beer should not have a crunch.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
It's a blueberry muffin, something or other.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
That's going to be awful Also the listeners can't
see it.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
It's 8.3%.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Which is, from my standards, is quite a low, but
our favourite flavours of icecream are the inspiration for
our new dessert Sours.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well, I'm sorry your inspiration's flawed, because
who wants ice cream and beer tobe mixed together like in
america, I do.
I do enjoy ice cream float, butI wouldn't dump an ice cream in
a beer apparently in america, inboston, you can get I heard
about this this week you can getguinness floats.
Um, guinness floats, so theyput ice cream into the Guinness.

(03:43):
I'm like, okay, that doesn'tsound awful.
But a blueberry muffin, waffle,cone crunch, 8.3% beer, it will
scoop.
I'm just not sure, wiles.
But you know, you're the onewith the can in the hand, you're
the one with the drink about tobe drunk.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
I imagine it's going to be blue in colour right.
Here we go, here we go.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Oh, it's red, oh, it's more purple.
Yeah, sorry.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
It's very Well yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
It definitely contains blueberries, doesn't it
?
You can see by the colour.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
It definitely contains blueberries, it's not.
It's not a Guinness, that's forsure.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
It doesn't look nice.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Here we go.
Let's see I'm diving in Cheers.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Cheers.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Before I even get there, it's a very strong smell.
Oh.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
That's what you want to see when you drink a beer.
Oh, it looks like he's just gotone of Logan's nappies.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
No, it's a nice smell .
Look at your's nappies.
No, it's a nice smell.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Look at your face, know if it's a nice smell a
right blueberry smell so what'sthe verdict on the taste?
And it's oh, oh.
His eye just turned in.
Ladies and gentlemen, his eyejust turned in.
I mean, I'll still drink itbecause I don't waste booze, but
I can't.
I'm honestly shocked.
Oh, his eye just turned in.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Ladies and gentlemen, His eye just turned in.
I mean I mean I'll still drinkit because I don't waste booze.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
But I can't.
I'm honestly shocked.
A blueberry waffle cone, doublecrunch, 8.3% beer is wrong.
Whoa, who'd have thought it?

Speaker 1 (05:17):
It's too.
It hits the sides of your mouth.
You know where it hits thesides of your mouth?
Uh-huh, the cheeks.
It's too sweet, it's too sweet.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
It's a terrible idea.
I hope you didn't buy this.
I hope this was a gifted beer.
Did you actually buy this fromthe shop?
I can't remember.
You can't remember it's yeah,it was never going to go well,
was it?
Let's be honest.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
No, I'll drink it At a no.
Uh, I'll drink it um at aprotest.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
I apologize for the audio quality when my face goes
inside out.
As I'm talking, his eyeliterally turned into the middle
of his face.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
I don't know, it's like a shot, it's like a really
sour.
I mean it did say on the tinssour, so it did give me a
trigger warning.
But the name should have givenyou a trigger warning the
ingredients and the, theinspiration that the people talk
to on the can should have givenyou a trigger warning.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
The ingredients and the inspiration that the people
talk to on the can should havegiven you a trigger warning who
buys that and drinks that andthinks that's delicious.
How do they make money whenthey produce this crap?

Speaker 1 (06:13):
People like me, mr Oshkiss, people like me that

The listeners have been quietthis week.
Yeah, please send stuff in.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
There's a lot going on, isn't there, with sports and
everything that we just talkedabout.
So you know it's understandable.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Send your voice notes in or whatever.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Well, you know where I've got a first look, Walliams,
if we're happy to jump intothat that could explain why
people haven't been sending usin messages.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Maybe Jump in, jump in.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
First look.
It's a repeat of last year'sfirst look, although last year's
first look was a look atGlastonbury 2023.
This one is a look atGlastonbury 2024,.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Walliams, oh, it's not a second look, it's a first
look at 2024.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
It's a first look at 2024.
It's a first look at 2024.
We are gonna do so just to givea bit of context.
Glastonbury will be assumingwe're still doing this podcast
will probably become a regularfeature because it's something
we enjoy doing now.
This year we were planning tohave a glastonbelly festival in
our house.
We've uh, we had turned ourhouse into a summer.
We turned our sorry, our diningroom into a summer
entertainment room.
So we have english bunting up,we have nice flags and we have a

(10:50):
big projector screen andspeakers, and the plan was to
have a festival with some of mywife's work friends coming
around to enjoy it.
However, the wife got covidagain, um, so we were meant to
be going For the sixth timeSomething ridiculous like that.
So we were meant to be going tosee Take that we had Golden

(11:11):
Circle tickets to go and see.
Take that which I was very muchlooking forward to.
We were going to have a nicedate and we couldn't go to that
because the wife got COVID andwe thought no no, there's no
kind of obligation to not gointo public places, but you
still feel a bit like you don'treally want to go and cough on
anybody else you never know whothere might be, but she didn't

(11:32):
feel very well.
Yeah, so we missed take that.
And then we had to also missour glastonbelly party so we
couldn't have a party.
So instead we just got drunkand did it ourselves.
So we we always enjoy watchingglastonbury for for the,

(11:52):
obviously, the bands we know,but also for the random stuff
you see.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
So I'm going to talk about the, the good, the bad and
the ugly of glastonbury thisyear okay, I don't know if you
watch it no, I caught snippets,but no, I don't know what's
going on, but I didn't reallycatch much of it this year.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Well, there was a lot of chatter before Glastonbury
this year that it wasn't a verygood lineup, but I actually
think it did all right.
From the acts that we saw, Iwas quite impressed.
Now, it could have been becauseI was drunk, but I really
enjoyed the whole thing.
So we'll start with a good.
So yeah, I in order of myfavorites walliams.

(12:28):
I really enjoyed jesse ware.
I thought she was very good.
Um, kasabian did a secret set.
That was very good.
Um, yeah, I quite enjoyedpaloma faith, like she's nutty
as a fruitcake, but I likepaloma.
Yeah, I quite like her as well.
And then the one that reallyimpressed me was Dua Lipa.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
She did a CBeebies bedtime story from Glastonbury.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
I didn't see that one .
Yeah, but I'm not surprisedshe's that kind of yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, from Glastonbury.
She did a CBeebies story andshe had what they called the
classic Madonna cones.
Okay, very appropriate, is thatCBee called the the classic
madonna cones?
Okay, is that cbb's family.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
but there you go, kids aren't looking at those,
are they the dads?
Probably are the dad's probablylooking and yeah, yeah, bedtime
story just improved for them.
Um, speaking of madonna conesand dads dua lipaua Lipa.
So she was very good.
She did a lot of outfit changes.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
I like Dua Lipa.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
She has good pop songs.
So we enjoyed Dua Lipa and then, I think, the favourite, the
one they enjoyed the most, wasthe Sugar Babes, which Sugar
Babes, was it?

Speaker 1 (13:42):
So this is the original line-up of Sugar Babes.
The original three but is itthe original three?
Because wasn't the original onedisappeared very early, didn't
they?

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yes, no, it's her again.
She's back.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yeah, and she can sing quite well.
So they did it a couple ofyears ago and they put them on
the second stage or park stageor something and they drew too
big of a crowd.
So this year you'd have thoughtthey'd have learned from that
and put them on the pyramidstage, but they didn't.
They put them on another stageand they drew too many people as
well, so they had to stoppeople going in.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
So hopefully next year they'll get to the pyramid.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah, it was.
It was really good.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
So there were some good ones, but there was also
some bad ones, williams.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
So shania twain wasn't very good, was she not?
We didn't watch the whole thing, but she was the headline.
She was the sunday, she waswhat they call the legend, um,
but she did the legend slot, butoh no she doesn't actually have
that many songs that we allknow and she's yeah, she wasn't
that great she's kept in greatshape.
Um, james, who were a band Iquite like they.
They disappointed me.
They didn't do many of theirbig hits.
They did a load of other randomstuff and there's someone that

(14:53):
I heard.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
That was really bad.
I can't remember their names,but you'll probably mention them
in a bit.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
I'll let you know it was dex's midnight runners were
pretty bad.
They were like just well pastit as a female.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
You know 70 roads in the Loper yeah, was it so Cindy
Lauper was.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, cindy Lauper wasn't great, but I don't know
she was.
It looked like she was at asink or something.
So in every unit it looked likeshe was but the music was
slightly delayed, so she waskind of singing just ever so
slightly off, like there was ajust a slight delay.
So it was a bit odd, but, youknow, fair play to her, she had

(15:34):
great hair.
And then SZA, who was like theheadliner on the Sunday night.
We tried to watch for a bit andit was just like I't know any
of this.
I'm too old, like you know.
Clearly talented woman, butjust wasn't for us.
Um, and then the ugly, whichwas probably my favorite thing
to watch was a band called highlong high long high long is it

(15:59):
like a german eurovision typething?
so I want to talk about highlung.
Um, should I have heard of them?
Nope, uh, they are.
They are amplified historyneo-folk, denmark, germany.
So that's the genre that's yeah, whatever the hell that is.
So I'm going to read you.

(16:20):
I'm going to read you abouthigh lung because so when we?
When we Heilung it was like agroup of Vikings on stage, Some
men, some women.
The women were all topless,covered in kind of blood and
guts.
There was a woman at the frontwith antlers.
It was like Eurovision, but kindof Eurovision of nightmares.
There was no happiness, it wasjust dark.

(16:44):
And all these people jumpingaround going drums like, look at
my boobies bouncing down, Idon't do them I presume this
wasn't a main stage, was it?

Speaker 1 (16:58):
it was yeah it was a main stage the third main stage
on the friday night.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Um, so I'm going to read you about high lung.
They have a new album calledseasons of mist first look at
high lung so.
Since its inception in 2015,the enigmatic ritual collective,
like an enigmatic ritualcollective, high lung has been
paving melodic paths to the pastwith their unique and
mystifying sound, evading allconventional genre tags and the

(17:26):
confines of any specific labels.
The label I'd give them was it.
The group aptly self-describestheir sound as amplified history
I don't know what kind ofhistory, but um, yeah, it was um
if you go to season hyphen ofhyphen, misscom, forward slash
bands, forward slash, high lung,um, you can have a look at them

(17:49):
.
So I don't know, if I don'tknow if this will if I play it.
No, I'm gonna, I'm just gonnagive a screenshot to williams
and let's see what his reactionis, because I can't play it
because of the way my headphonesare set up.
But this is high lung there wego so what?
yeah, so this is a band.

(18:10):
This is like so she's actuallytopless, yeah.
Yeah, I wasn't just joking,like she's just, and, but she
doesn't look very well it's likesome human kind of sacrifice or
something.
I think.
Has she got covid?

Speaker 1 (18:23):
she might have covid probably got it off my wife but
like she's not the only person,is he looking down?
What is he wearing?

Speaker 2 (18:31):
yeah, she, she wears another one.
Oh, here's a.
I said you another one here.
This is, I mean, you see thisthis is not um.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
It's not normal, is it?

Speaker 2 (18:42):
I don't, no, but you know they've got an audience.
Wow, you can't.
You know.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Wow, okay.
I'd be worried they'd make asacrifice on stage.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
That's what I've just sent you.
It looks like they are doing asacrifice on stage.
It's very weird.
Wow, high lung.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
And that's a popular genre these days.
Is it what High Lung?
And that's a popular genrethese days.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Is it what sacrifice?
Sacrificial genre.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Well, no, because the latest, not to keep saying
Eurovision, but on the lastEurovision there was a lot of
this sort of stuff, wasn't there?

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Well, I'll tell you what I'm going to do, walliams,
I'm going to press play on thisYouTube video and you won't be
able to hear it, but I'll singalong to it so you can try and
try, and give you an idea ofwhat this is high lung trouse
live leave for lunch wrong okay.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Performed by mr craig hotchkiss no, I couldn't hear
myself singing beautiful.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
I'm interested to see how I'll listen back to see how
that came along.
Um, that's basically what.
That's what.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Hard on god, so yeah okay, well, um, I'll look for
them on um amazon music, or youshould you should, and there was
.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
obviously there's a few randoms that we saw as well.
So we watched a band bandcalled Seventeen, who were a
K-pop band.
So that was interesting K-pop,yeah, yeah, that was interesting
.
And then our favourite were theMary Wallopers, who were an
Irish band.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
The Mary Wallopers what a name.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
The Mary Wallopers and they were good fun.
They were an Irish band andthey were just singing songs
about random stuff, the virusjig.
A bit of virus jig.
So you've got to love a bit ofGlastonbury.
You've got to love therandomness of Shania Twain and
Cyndi Lauper mixed with HighLung and the Mary Wallopers,
whilst Coldplay are performingto 100,000 people at the same

(20:36):
time.
You've got to love the wholething.
But yeah, it wasn't quite asgood as we expected, because we
had to cancel our party and we'dmistake that which was annoying
, but yeah, we're gonna do,let's make it better now
so that's good I seem to haveavoided it.
So that's good.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Raiden seems to have avoided it too so good oh good
so that was my first after fivetimes you know, I reckon that's
exactly it.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
I reckon I've had it.
So I'm like I'll probably justget it now and just not even
realise.
I was like, yeah, I'll do it OK.
But, yes, that was Glastonbury2024.
Well worth going and checkingback on the iPlayer.
I think you might even be ableto watch High Lung on the
iPlayer.
Maybe not, I don't know, but ifyou can.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
High, lung High.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Lung.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
The blueberry muffin waffle cone crunch.
Trouble scoop is warming on me,by the way.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Is that because it's 8.3%?
Maybe it's literally warming onyou.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
It makes you really thirsty.
The more you drink, the morethirsty you get.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Oh, okay.
Your mouth just goes really dry.
Got probably a high saltcontent, maybe Probably so.

Aww, so little baby Logan.
This week he's built a tower onhis own.

Balancing blocks and a tower.
He's walking up steps like agrown-up wow, holding a hand
which is way ahead of schedule.

(22:31):
He's pointing at things.
He's giggling and laughing atthings.
He's choosing his favoritejulia donaldson magic night film
on the tv by pressing thescreen, thinking, thinking it's
touchscreen.
He's pointing out animals andbooks.
He's saying animal, he knowswhat they are Duck, especially

(22:54):

Ducks are favourite.
Yeah, it's all kicking off,craig, it's all kicking off.
Too many development points arehappening.
He's grown up too quick and Idon't like it craig that's
making me feel uncomfortablewhere's my little baby gone?

Speaker 2 (23:12):
yeah, oh it's, it's nice though it's I mean yeah, it
is nice.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
It's amazing.
One chapter is the start of thenext yeah, it's nice in
development, it's nice seeingall these new things.
So it's uh, um, yeah, you, yougotta live in the good, live in
the present only so you justgotta live in the present and
sort of enjoyed the first stagesand, um, it's really exciting
these next, next stages comingup, but, um, when you see

(23:38):
someone able to do somethingthat they didn't do before, yeah
so just balancing a block ontop of a block.
You know, if you did that I'd belike well done, greg, well done

at everything?

Speaker 1 (24:18):
it's just you slow down, don't you?

Speaker 2 (24:21):

Speaker 1 (24:23):
There's loads of new stuff that we probably could do,
but we slow down, we just don'tdo them.
Well, that's true.

that I've got volumes, which isa look about the boy, so as, as
you say, you get all these firstlook experiences with children,
we had one recently and don'tthink I talked about this on a

(29:01):
podcast previously, but I mightof but we had to do you get, you
get there.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
This is what happens does it need a trigger warning?

Speaker 2 (29:09):
no, no, no, there's no trigger warning.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
One of the feedbacks was I wish there's trigger
warning for the uh, the russellsegment.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
Sorry about that, guys.
Now this one does not need atrigger warning.
This one is when your kid comeshome and his eyes are lit up
because he's the teacher hassuggested that something.
Some, they do something and hewants to.
He, he wants to, he's enthused,he's activated.
He wants to do something andyou're like, oh okay, how can we

(29:38):
say no to him.
Look how excited he is.
So we recently ended uppresenting at our kids' culture
day.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
You presented yourselves.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
No, so what happened was got.
So my son goes to a schoolwhere there's lots of people
from lots of different culturesyeah, so to celebrate cultures,
they had an evening, so theyinvite people to do a stall and
on that stall you bring thingsfrom your culture and you
present.
And then the school was foreveryone.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
From the school comes and they walk around and taste
all the food and bring in lovelywell that.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
That's it so braden came home he's like I want to do
a stall for culture day and Iwas like, okay, so what?
What do you mean?
I said, like your mom I'menglish, your mom's irish.
Like I think this means morefor kind of like the italians
and the french people and thechinese people at school.
No, I want to do it.
Well, what do you want to do?
He says we'll do the blackcountry.

(30:35):
So we ended up doing a cultureday stall, all about for our
american listeners to define theback country so the black
country is.
It's for, it's for tarrant, orfour areas in the west midlands,
um in in near birmingham.
So think of it for americanlisteners, if you think of peaky

(30:57):
blinders, just to the northwestof where peaky blinders is set,
is a black country it consistsof.
Now I should know this as wejust did the bloody
presentations it's Wolverhampton, wolverhampton, dudley,
wentzfield, and you know what?
that's really embarrassing andCotswold no, cotswold's a
village in the Black Country,black.

(31:19):
How can I not remember this?
I should have prepared this.
I should have Black Countrytunes the Black Country tunes
Wolverhampton, dudley, sedgley.
Yeah, I tunes.
The black country tunes, uh,wolverhampton, dudley, sedgley.
Um, yeah, I still can't.
What areas make?
up that country dudley, sanwell,warsaw and wolverhampton, mug
there we go.
So the black country is calledthe black country because, uh,

(31:41):
it was famous for its coal minesand there was so much kind of
dust and soot and smog in theair that it was everyone it was
black.
So it's not, it's not a racialthing, it's just to do with the
industry and of the area.
So we did a presentation or astall I'm sure there were, um,

(32:03):
so we did a.
We did a stall where we hadlike a timeline of history of
the black country.
We had we bought a big blackcountry flag which has got seven
links of chains on it.
We had chain making becauseobviously in the 17th century
there was a lot of chain makinggoing on.
So we had kids make chains um,brave and dressed up as a minor
with a pickaxe, um, and therewas a lot of people.

(32:27):
Yeah that's it.
Yeah, very good.
Um, and we had like people,like famous people from the
black country.
So for our listeners who don'tknow, there are some actual like
famous people from the blackcountry, we had some famous
people attend no, we we did likewe printed out pictures and we
had like a like a screen playingkind of youtube clips of some

(32:49):
of the famous people, yeah, like, so like the lead singer, led
zeppelin, robert, we printed outpictures and we had a screen
playing YouTube clips of some ofthe famous people, so the lead
singer, led Zeppelin, robertPlant and Beverly Knight and
Slade and some of the musicthat's come from the area.
So it was very good, but a lotof hard work.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
That must feel really good because obviously Braden
lived in England and he's beenthere, but he's very much
northern ireland now oh yeah soit must be really nice and from
to you know link to thatheritage?

Speaker 2 (33:17):
oh, absolutely yeah well, my mom brought a load of
pic like family pictures of likeold like her kind of
grandparents and stuff, um, whowould have obviously, you know,
have all been born and raised inthe black country.
So it was nice for him to lookat those old pictures and then
we put those on the tabletop sowe had people coming looking at
these blinders they were.

(33:39):
I don't believe so.
I don't believe so, but theyall had the, they all had the
flat caps and stuff, so and theyall would have sparklogged this
might.
So it was, it was really goodfun.
It was, um, I mean, I said itwas really good fun.
It was hot, bloody hard work.
Yeah, because there's a lot ofpeople like really nice for the
kids what's the black country?
And then you had to explain itto them and stuff.
So brayden, brayden'sconcentration, he was just like

(34:01):
all over the show so uh, my momand dad came down so they ended
up talking to some random peopleabout the black country.
Oh nice, leslie and I talkingto strangers about the black
country.
Yeah, it was fun.
So as Logan gets older, he willcome home with a look in his
eye and he'll be like what's heneed?
Usually it's a project.

(34:22):
So we've had to do theAntarctic project, we had to do
a South Africa project, whereyou have to make things and he
has to do presentations.
And a south africa project whereyou have to make things and he
has to do presentations.
And sometimes they'll come backwith these look in the look in
their little eyes and be like,yeah, can we do this, daddy?
and you're like ask your motherand your mom's like your mom
says ask your dad, and do youreally want to do it?
I really want to do it.
Okay, then let's get the paperand pens and the scissors out

(34:47):
and we'll plan this out.
So, yes, it's the things you dofor love, but yeah, we had to
do a culture day for brain, sothat was the first time we were
doing like that and uh, how manykids, how many kids came yeah I
reckon there must have beenabout 500 people come to the wow
, so it was like the wholeschool was full.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
They had like a big burger van and ice cream van and
like it was a really big.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Thing.
So, it was very good because itwas funded as well, so the
school had won money.
You know, like when you getTesco, where the supermarkets
are available, and you get thelittle blue coins.
In fact, I've got to claim themoney back.
We had £50 budget of expensesand I've not claimed that back
yet you just remembered thatyeah, little blue tokens and he

(35:37):
put them in the things.
So our kids school was raisingto put on a culture day, so the
money came.
It was a funded thing, so itwas well publicised and well
advertised.
Everyone was very proud.
There's lots of nice pictures.
I could probably send you apicture, actually well, so if
you want to have a look at apicture of culture night, and

(35:57):
all these pictures will be addedto the website.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Of course they will absolutely, absolutely.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
They'll be added to the website that is currently
being built.
Now see, ladies and gentlemen,of course walliams is now
waiting for me to send him apicture.
I obviously want to send him apicture of something rude, but I
won't, I'll send him an actualone.
There you go, walliams.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
There you go, there's , there's, ah that's really good
, sir, and you did all thatyourself we did all that yeah.
Wow, oh, braden looks great.
He does I mean, you all lookgreat, but Braden looks special.
So yes, wow.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
First look at family culture days and doing things.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yeah, it's a lot of work.
Actually, we didn't think of it, did we?

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Yeah, it did take a bit of time, yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
You've got the black country dialect on the back.
Guess the meaning.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
That was a quiz.
So that was the kind of arbinyeah, or being your mate, so
that was a quiz actually I couldhave done that as part of the
how you been.
So if you look on the lettertatters, tatters, tatters,
tatters, tatters.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Yeah, what are tatters?

Speaker 2 (37:00):
no, they're men who come around and pick up steel.
So you know the people who comearound and go.
You're only scrap metal.
They're called the Tatters.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Cora, cobbon, cora.

Speaker 2 (37:09):

Speaker 2 (37:42):
It means I'm hungry.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
I could eat a scabios .

Speaker 2 (37:51):
It means I'm Fair enough oh the answer's on the
right.
Yeah, so the idea was the blackcountry dialect's on the left
and the actual meaning is on theright.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
So people had to link them up.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Really good.
Oh wow, People enjoyed that.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
But anyway, save the best till last.
Neon raptors oh, some of thesome of their cans are very good
.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
They've got a plant planetoid smash I'm I'm I'm
fickle misogynist, as youprobably realize, but I'm sold
by a can if the can looks goodit's the artist in you, yeah so
I had a first look at the googlevoice search oh yeah, so it

(41:46):
sounds a bit geeky, a bit boringit is 2024.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
This has been around for a long time, has it?
Yes, but yes, go on.
Sorry not to piss on you, butyes, I've been around since 2015
.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
You're going to, ironically, google now it's been
around since 2012.
You didn't use google voicesearch.
Did you?

Speaker 2 (42:15):
you typed it I was gonna record a podcast.
I use my voice when I'm tryingto talk to you.
Yeah, so it's been around for12 years, so it's good okay.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
Well, maybe this function hasn't worked, since
I'm sure it's got a bit of AIinvolved.
So Google Voice Search use onthe app.
So for the last year, but veryleast since February when we got
married, I brought up inconversation that I've got this

(42:46):
annoying earworm stuck in myhead of this song.
So I, um, when I first startedbrushing Logan's teeth, this
song would always come into myhead, um, and it goes a little
bit something, a little bit likethis we're going to brush,
brush, brush, brush your teeth.
Going to brush, brush, brush,brush your teeth.
Do, do, do, do, brush, brush,brush, brush your teeth.

(43:10):
Gonna brush, brush, brush yourteeth.
Gonna brush, brush, brush,brush your teeth.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
And then it goes on to it sounds like the song from
ferris.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
Yeah, I think that's a ferris bueller song and uh,
maybe I'm wrong, probably I meanmaybe, because it might be,
it's been used and typically Icouldn't quite picture it, but I
mentioned it at the wedding andthen everyone else was like oh
yeah.
And everyone else was in thesame thing.
They couldn't quite what isthat song?
And it's been, it's beenbugging us for ages and ages and

(43:46):
ages and then, just on this, goon.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
I'm going to take a guess.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Go for it, go on.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
Is it?
Oh yeah, by Yellow.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
Oh, ooh.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
But I mean the brush your teeth bit.
I don't know who I wish I said.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
Yeah, basically, I should have asked you in the
first place.
So anyways.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Sorry.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
Anyways.
So I did Google voice searchafter about at least five, six
months, but it's been going onbefore then for a year.
I used google voice search, Isigned on the phone gonna brush,
brush, brush, brush your teeth.
Gonna brush, brush, brush,brush your teeth.
And then, boom, yellow the race, but it might be called other
other things might come up.
And that was.
That was the song.

(44:33):
I was like well yeah, first ofall, mind blown in terms of I
send you the, the YouTube linkof the, the song that came up,
um.
But first of all mind blown interms of how can Google search
get that for me singing gonnabrush, brush, brush, brush your
teeth, gonna brush, brush, brush, brush your teeth, which isn't

(44:56):
even the song and my poor tone,deaf, rhythm and lyrics.
How on earth did Google getthat from listening to my voice?
How on earth did Google getthat from listening to my voice?
And then B?
Where on earth has that comefrom in the back of my head to

(45:16):
sing that song?

Speaker 2 (45:18):
Well, is it so?
This one?
So that's the song.
I was thinking it was there,cause obviously you've sung that
, you got the tone right, butthe brush your brush, brush your
teeth.
I'm like I'm not sure wherethat comes from.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Well, that's the song , but I've obviously got that
from that tune.
It's in the back of my headsubconsciously.
That I've never heard of for atleast God knows how many years
from somewhere.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Well, maybe it was your mom and dad used it when
they were teaching you how tobrush your teeth, because,
obviously, so that was like 1987.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
So you'd have been like three years old, yeah maybe
when that song would have comeout, so it would have been very
popular on the radio, but it'sweird how weird little tunes
just come out from nowhere andyou're subconscious.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Yeah.

radio point it and Shazam, Ithink they went bust in the end,
or someone bought them no,shazam's still around, isn't it?

Your eyes appear to have glazed over I've just
realized.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
I've read the description already.
You did, although I wouldn'tknow that because I've only just
arrived oh, you know, you know,although you know, oh I am wise
and stalking you so no or no?

I'm going to put you on thespot.

So this is something that, forthe first time since we've done
the podcasts, where everyone,absolutely everyone in the world
, aside from us three, know theanswer.

the event.
My question is who is going tobe the winner of euro 2024
football men's tournament?

Speaker 2 (50:04):
well, I think you'll find that you are a little bit
glazed and drunk, because Ialready answered that in the
previous episode, remember, andI think I, I think I summarized
it.
I think I summarized it inthree words, to which they have
not changed it's coming home,yay.

(50:29):
Spain emerged victorious,defeating England 2-1 in a
thrilling match held at OlympiaStadium Berlin even if we don't
lift the trophy, it's stillcoming home, because you can
still lose and win.
And what these boys have donetogether to bring the nation

(50:49):
together, in my mind they arealready winners the real winner
is football.
Football's the winner footballis the winner.

Firstlookgnomes at Outlookcom.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
Hey, he knows it all.
Thank you, Null or Gnome.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
I think now my last bit of wisdom is to text your
wife and ask her to put you tobed.
I'm so bad at this, possiblywith a book.
I don't think you need to drinkthat half of it.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
It is very nice.
It's very strong.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
You don't need to drink the rest of it, it's very
nice.
I think you've probably hadenough.
Maybe a bucket will be neededand a kebab.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
And a kebab.
Oh, kebab and chips, lovely,lovely.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
And garlic sauce, mmm .

Speaker 1 (51:55):

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Tips for dads.
Oh Well, this is good becauseI'm the know-it-all gnomes, so I
should probably have some tipsfor dads.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
Hey Tips for dads.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
Tips for dads.
Well, actually I do have one.
It's again nice segue from youbeing drunk.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
Tips for the dads.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
Dads Alcohol-free beer.
Don't judge the brands.
So I like the odd drink.
Don't judge the brands.
Okay, let me explain what Imean by that, daniel.
So, as you can see, I amdrinking or Craig has been
drinking 0% Guinness todayBecause he's driving and he's

(52:37):
going to have a drink 0%Guinness.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
I thought you were drinking 0% Guinness, 0%.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
He's not drinking for the podcast today Because too
much alcohol is bad for you, butI know from experience Craig
does not like Carlsberg Lager,pilsner, danish Lager he's not a
fan.
However, their alcohol freebeer is very, very good really.
Same with Corona.
Corona is very, very goodalcohol free, and there are some

(53:05):
that are just not very good.
We recently tried Budweiser,which is both bad in the
alcoholic form and pretty bad inthe non-alcoholic form.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Yeah, I quite like the alcoholic one.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
Budweiser.
Yeah, you have no taste, butyes, that's a tip for Dad, if
you don't like actual cold.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
I don't know what you mean, Craig.
Still try the Nord Berset Likea blueberry muffin, waffle cone
crunch, triple scoop beer.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
That's ridiculous.
You're an animal.
Also.
I have one other piece ofadvice tips for dads, for anyone
moving home get a goodsolicitor.
It's a horrendous thing to haveto do.
Get a good solicitor.
That's all I'll say about thatRead into it as you will.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
My tips for dance is so for the for the quarter final
, I went out and had a few beersbefore a morning of having to
look after the little one fromhalf seven at the morning.
You fool, but it's fine.
But it's fine, you know.
I know how much to drink.
I drank a lot but I know mylimits.

(54:14):
I was supposed to look after alittle one and I did, but I
didn't think about his littlelungs because Georgie came back
and she thought I made anomelette with gone-off eggs
because the house was stinking.
But We've gone off eggs becausethe house was stinking but

(54:35):
luckily the little one was fine.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Oh you animal.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
Even though you think you can look after them when
they're 50 beers, don't forgettheir little lungs.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
Poor Logan, and he wouldn't have even been able to
kind of like, no, like Dad, forgoodness sake.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
No, I say because the final pint I had it was tasting
really chemically.
Okay, it tastes like there'schemicals through the pipes.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Yeah, that was definitely it.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
But apparently Georgie thinks the way.
I think it was the multiplebeers as opposed to the final
beer, but I think it's the finalbeer.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
No, the wise old gnome is back again and he's
going to say this Sorry, MrHodgkins is back as well.
Yes, we're here together, yourwife, hello Greg, hello gnome,
the wife is correct, you're ananimal and the chemical taste
you had was nothing to do withthe cleaning fluids of the pipes

(55:41):
.
That's you trying to find anexcuse for why you were so
pissed and smell like a barnyardanimal?
You've got no one to blame butyourself.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
And I don't know if it was because I've not had a
few beers in a while out andabout, plus a pizza out and
about for a while after a fewbeers, but it was the best pizza
I've had in ages was thatbecause you were drunk, maybe?

Speaker 2 (56:06):
yeah, just enhance the flavor but um.
Did you enjoy yourself?

Speaker 1 (56:11):
I did, I did, I did that's the biggest tip for all,
isn't it?

Speaker 2 (56:15):
Go and enjoy yourself once in a while.
Yes, do enjoy yourselves.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
If you're lucky enough to have a lovely wife
that will look after the kid,wash it out and about drinking
beers, watching the football,having a pizza, then enjoy it
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
