Season 3 Grand FINALE
Join us at the bottom of the garden for a first look at;
- Universal Studios London
- Beast Games
- Switch 2
- E-Bikes
and the usual , Fishpond of Feedback, Gno-it-all Gnome and.... the bad jokes!
In the grand finale of Season 3, the First Look Gnomes celebrate with a spectacular (and spectacularly bad) Eminem parody that has everyone in stitches. "Lose Your 12th" might just be Williams' magnum opus as we wrap up twelve episodes of gnomish shenanigans!
The Fish Pond of Feedback reveals exciting news – our listeners have spoken, and the Gno-it-all-Gnome has received a resounding 67% vote to stay. But there's a twist! Our beloved gnome announces he's embarking on a worldwide journey in search of companionship and new experiences, dubbing it his "Wisdom is Lonely, Love Yourself" (WILLY) tour. While he won't be a regular fixture in Season 4, he promises postcards and voice notes from exotic locations around the globe.
Technology and entertainment take center stage with our First Looks. The Nintendo Switch 2 has been announced, promising GameCube compatibility that might reunite old friends for online Mario Kart Double Dash sessions. Meanwhile, Universal Studios plans to build a massive theme park in Bedfordshire by 2031, sparking debate about whether British customer service can match the American theme park experience. We also dive into the ethical dilemmas presented on Beast Games – would you take a guaranteed million dollars for yourself or risk it all for your team?
As we close the season with some genuinely terrible jokes, we tease upcoming e-bike adventures and potential format changes for Season 4. Whether you're a longtime listener or just discovering us, there's never been a better time to subscribe and join our gnomish community. Email your first looks and feedback to firstlookgnomes@outlook.com – and if you want to reach our traveling gnome, just put "Willy" in the subject line!

Moving on, um, a little bitfeedback.
Um, a, uh, who's this from?
This is from a walliams thegnome from the bottom of the
garden.
He's written in, okay, and uh,complaint about um, your tips?
(08:06):
Um, so mr hodgkiss suggested,you know, go in the garden, have
some time on your own.
Go in the garden, a bit ofpeace and quiet, because they
won't come out.
So, uh, I, I mean the, theperson writing um, he said he
went into the garden because hehad to dig a hole for a fence
(08:31):

They joined me.
I was in the garden, son andwife came out and they were in
the garden.
Whilst I was in the garden, thegnomes were what was in the
garden when you was in thegarden the gnomes were what.

The wife and son.
So you wanted some peace andquiet and they came out.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yes, your tip was go in the garden and get a bit of
peace and quiet, because theywon't come out.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
So that's your own fault for letting them out of
the cage, Walliams.
Speaker 2 (09:00):

This is the writer.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I beg your pardon.
Usually you lock them in,though, don't you?

So from previous podcasts you would have listened
that we're hitting heavyheights in countries abroad and
I've checked and it seems to bepronounced Laos.
After all the back and forth, Iwas calling it leo and laos,
you're calling it lao.
There's laos apparently.
(16:33):
So um, so uh.
We were number six and 154 umin laos, so I was thinking we
should season four.
I think we should set oursights of being the top 100
podcast in Laos.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Alright, let's try and do that.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Please support us with that New listeners.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Oh, can I give some feedback Please?
We're in the pond.
Speaker 2 (17:01):

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Well, you told me you were going to do about the, the
um, did it, the poll the poll.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
The poll.
I mean, I don't know, do youwant to hear the power?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
is the poll coming back is as opposed so the poll.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
The poll is, uh, still open and I've still not
checked um the postal vote asyet or the email vote um as yet.
So please email in tofirstsitgnomes at outlookcom to
let us know that you do not wantthe no or Gnome to continue or
Thirsty.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
First wasn't it, wasn't it a two?
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I might downsize the Thirsty First I had some
feedback about the Thirsty Firstand the no or no which was
basically we love the podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Maybe those features don't return for season 4.
Maybe we'll learn more aboutthat as this episode goes on we
shall see but the poll, the poll.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
So the question was um, uh, should the, should the
no or no, stay or go?
Um, and 67 said stay no way, itsaid stay.
No way 67% said stay 33% saidappear on specials only Okay and
(18:33):
0% so far say go.
What a win for the no or no.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Nobody expected that.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
No, so watch his face .
But yeah, please do write in.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
It's on today, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
We're open to it.
He's appearing later on so I'llhave a chat with him, but he's
getting old so he might want tostep back a little bit.
But if fans really do want himaround, maybe we could convince
him back for the odd session 67%at Williams.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
That's pretty overwhelming.
You only need a 70% grade toget an A, so 67%, the no or no
is getting a B.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
He's got high standards.
He's like, if I'm not gettingan A+, then what's the point.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
We'll have to talk to him later and see what he
thinks about everything.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
We'll talk to him later.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
You can ask him.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah, a lot of feedback today.
A lot of feedback.
I'll let you do your first look, whilst I just grab a towel.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
So well, uh, my first look.
So there has been a lot of umfor raw online fights, overnight
queues, debate, anger joy.
All of this related tosomething that is very important
(19:54):
to geeks like me the NintendoSwitch 2.
It's been announced.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Switch 2.
Is it any different than Switch?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
So again, listeners who know me, there's probably a
lot of listeners who have justturned off, and understandably
so, because we're grown men andwe should know better than to
play video games.
But the Nintendo Switch 2, as adad, nintendo do a great job of
allowing me to play video gameswhilst also entertaining my son
.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
So I'm a big fan of Nintendo.
On that note, before wecontinue, on my birthday I went
out for dinner with my niece andnephew.
My niece and nephew came roundmy nephew he's learning Spanish
at the moment and they've got aSwitch and, uh, this moment it's
(20:50):
one of those big moments thatyou know it's been.
You know the big moment of thefuture.
My niece has actually invitedme around at some point to play
mario kart on the switch andit's like, wow, that's like the
next generation you get to playit again without feeling guilty.
I get to play it again becauseyou know not because I'm an
(21:11):
adult on my own playing it, it'syou can justify it I can
justify it well you are.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
You're one step ahead of me, williams, sorry well no,
it's it all.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
all ties into exactly why I decided to make this my
first look, because you were notso again, listeners, uh,
williams and myself and a friendof ours who was in the, who was
mentioned in the previousepisode, who makes barbecues and
the manly man but he doesn'tcall himself a manly man.
Oh no, he would never refer tohimself as a manly man because
(21:43):
he's too manly.
He doesn't even know how manlyhe is, but we know, and that's
all that matters.
But we used to play a lot ofMario Kart Double Dash on the
GameCube.
So the Nintendo Switch 2 gotannounced and I was like, oh,
this looks interesting, what'sgoing on?
And it comes with GameCubegames.
Ooh, yeah, so they've got theNintendo.
Yeah, so they've got and youcan buy a GameCube controller
(22:12):
for the switch to.
I was like, oh, that meansdouble-dash is gonna be on there
eventually and they're gonna beable to plan a game key
controller.
But it's not just double dashand you know, gamecube, it's all
online now, so I'm like wepotentially potentially going to
be able to play Double Dashfrom Manly Man's house in London
, your house in Cornwall, myhouse in Northern Ireland, and
(22:35):
we could potentially play DoubleDash together.
And it comes with a camera soyou can see each other, so you
can chat and you can see eachother's faces and, above your
character, you see your other.
So, like you can chat and youcan see each other's faces and,
above your character, you seeyour face and what you're doing.
So, if you're, if you're theregoing, or we can see you go,
whilst you are being baby marion, baby louise, you're going
(22:58):
around baby so nice.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
So this the speed demon that I am of Rainbow Road
and the king of Bowser's Castle,it's potentially coming back
and you could play Mario Kart.
So that's it 100%.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
And I won't even be able to turn it off, because I
won't be able to just get pissedoff, reach over and turn off
the game cube.
So the Nintendo Switch 2 iscoming out and it was available
for pre-order.
So I was like, okay, how do youget about doing this so as a 41

As a kid I remember getting I'dasked for a Game Boy for
(25:04):
Christmas.
This was like 1992.
I'd asked for a Game Boy withTetris for Christmas.
And it was that time where,like, oh, you get a big present

was a Scalextrix.
And I was like, oh, and I wasover the moon, I got a
Scalextrix who wouldn't begrateful?
But I didn't get the Game Boy.

the disappointment of notgetting the game boy, but then I

Speaker 3 (25:57):
Oh, oh, we missed one .
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Oh, this is this says it's silly ass, opened it up.
Game boy tetris, can you I?

It's got the controllers.
The Joy-Cons can now be used asmice, like as a computer mouse,
so for shooting games and stuffthat's going to be pretty cool.
You can chat, so you can nowcommunicate with other people.
So my nephew, who's just aboutto turn 16, it was.
We went on holiday last yeartogether, we took a switch and
we played Mario Kart and he waslike, oh, I'm going to do this,

The last time nintendo releaseda new console was the wii u.
After, before the switch wasthe wii u said barbecue man, I
took I bought the console, tookit down to london to stay with
my friend and we spent 24 hourscompleting every cup.
So yeah yeah, so yeah, lookingforward to this it's.
(28:12):
It's good to show as well that,no matter how old you get, you
can still get excited about avideo game console yeah sorry, I
went a bit geeky there didn't I?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
well, I'm not one to ask, but yeah but yeah, nintendo
switch 2.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
So first look at the pre-orders in america.
It's an absolute shit show.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
You can't get hold of one so when's out, when's uh
june the fifth june, the fifthso don't bring me that day so I
presume series four we'll get afirst look at it.
We'll get a first look at it,we will was it worth the hassle,
did brain enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Is Mario Kart world better than Mario Kart Double
Dash?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
find out in season 4.
That's when the listeners comeback, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
of course it is.
Let's have a look at your firstlook, I guess geeky again,
listeners, apologies sorrylisteners but we all had a first
look.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Um, and we'll have a further first look, you know,
for another six years probablyum, but we had the news release
and there's rumors about it.
But the news released with afirst look, that we're gonna get
the universal studios inengland, which was really
exciting.
So I saw that and I was like,is this real?
(29:29):
Because I've seen so many fakenews things.
But we are going to get aUniversal Studios in England.
Amazing so it's going to beUniversal Studios and it's up
there, your Disneyland and allthose sort of parks.
So you've got Tokyo, know,you've got.
You've got tokyo, you've gotorlando, um, and you've got, um,
(29:51):
you've got things in singapore,sydney and all that, and you
got, uh, bedfordshire.
So which?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
is where leslian got her wedding dress from random.
Well, there you go.
So yeah, it's on the map sobedfordshire, there's a.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
You know it's near london, it's about 35 40 minutes
um north of london they'll callit london, so they'll call it
london, the universal studioslondon like paris, these
lampiruses expected open in 2031um over 476 acres um and
(30:37):
several themed lands.
They're not confirmed in it yet, um, but some rumors of the.
So you know like how disney hasits.
Well, you know better than I do.
As, like what future land andstar wars land, or whatever.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
It is incredible.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Yeah, so Universal Studios, which is already big in
America.
So there's rumours of like a.
So it could be a James Bondland, which I think would suit
the London sort of thing.
Lord of the Rings, so Lord ofthe Rings land, that'd be
interesting.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Oh no, that's got to be in New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, but you're not going to get the global traffic
there, are you, or are you?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I don't know.
Good point.
Good point though, yes, sorry.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Again, these are rumours, so it's not confirmed.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Oh, just rumours.
Okay, I beg your pardon, sothere might be Pad bear land
that's rumored, uh, which Icould see if.
Is it gonna be big enough?
I think, what do I?
It's gotta be harry potter,surely harry potter's?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
gotta be the one.
Well, they've already got harrypotter over america, but maybe
they're gonna have.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
You would have thought so.
You would have thought soyou've got warner brothers
studios.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
It's like but is that ?
Where is harry potter partuniversal?
Is it part?
It is so.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
In america universal studios has Studios has has
Harry Potter, but like you'vegot to have, sure what a force,
a or would they want to dosomething different?
Speaker 2 (31:53):
but he would have thought so.
That's true.
A random one which is notreally British back to the
future has been strongly rumoredman which, back to the Future,
theme man.
Which I personally would reallylove.
And I think it still has aglobal appeal Of course it does.
But the youngsters?
(32:14):
Are they Back to the Future?
Do they, are we?
Is it a nostalgic thing?
Back to the Future now.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
So we were randomly talking about this, my wifey
wife and I.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
It's probably, if I had a name, my favorite trilogy.
It could quite possibly be backto future wow, that's a big
claim that's.
I know it's a big claim.
Yeah it is.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
It is up there for me we would talk because because
my, the wife of mine is a big,she's into the theme parks,
she's into the american themeparks and she went to universal
studios in its heyday.
She would say, when it wasterminated, to jaws back to the
future.
And when we went it was it allchanged, it was all the new
(32:58):
things, it was millions and likenonsense, nonsense.
Who wants to go mad?
I don't want to go on Minions,right.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Minions is on the list.
Minions is on the list.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
There was a lot of.
They had like Fast and theFurious and Minions.
I was like how can you compareFast and the Furious and Minions
to Back to the Future andTerminator?
But I suppose in terms ofdollars, fast and the Furious,
and Minions are probably worthloads more.
But, what the probably passiveyears.
(33:30):
It's probably worth loads more,but obviously our age was very
much like yeah, I want to seejaws, I want to go on et I don't
want to see minions, so it'llbe interesting.
It'll be interesting, I mean,back to the future.
Such an iconic brand.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yeah, yeah, that'd be great uh and then you know one
on the on the list of the topsort of rumored ones, uh, which
I think, if they do it right, um, you know, and you know
universal studios or yourDisneyland's, they've got the
money to do it.
Um is Jurassic park.
It's a dress, oh that'd be niceyeah.
You know, if they, if theycould actually create it into a
(33:57):
Jurassic park, then um, back todinosaurs, then uh, I mean,
imagine if you're on Towersright now.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
You're shitting yourself, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Yeah, yeah.
So yeah.
For our foreign listeners, olinTowers is probably the.
You know Olin Towers and FortPark.
They're like the theme parks inEngland, but compared to your
Disneyland's and yourUniversal's they don't have the
money to do the theme as well.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
They're really good rides, but they don't have the
brand power that the Americanbrands do.
The roller coaster might be asgood, but the whole theming,
which is a big thing, isn't it?
Like you know, this is a rollercoaster, but it's the whole
theme.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I told you the story about when I went on the first
experience because I'd arguedhard with the wife that you're
just paying for glorified Altonshowers.
It's going to be no better.
And I was like why no, we needa new kitchen, why would we
(34:57):
waste money on this?
And I fought and fought andfought and lost.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
And then you went.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
And then I went Now you were one of these privileged
kids.
You went when you were a kid.
I was.
I went for the first time whenI was 40, but I must admit now,
the very first ride I went on Iwas like that's a bit different.
That is the whole like fromfrom start to get getting into
(35:25):
the place, but it's so differentnow because, like what, your
experience would still be sodifferent than mine, so I'd like
to get back over to logan there, because it's so different now.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
So I don't know how, because the things that stand
out for me is with disneyland ordisney world.
Disneyland, disney world,florida florida is disney world.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
I uh, florida is Disney world.
Well, there's one of them.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
It's one of them, so I one of the things and with my
gran you know she's on crutchesand in the wheelchair, but it
was great because it meant wecould skip the queue and say oh,
do you want to splash mountain,gran?
Not really.
Yeah, question, splash mountain, really.
(36:11):
Yeah, question Q jump splashmountain.
But back then splash mountainwas based on one of the very few
films you can actually get onDisney anymore because it's a
bit frowned upon racist somesongs of the South songs of the
time yeah, but now it's notanything.
Hasn't got anything with that,does it?
I don't think't think.
I don't know how recently theychanged it.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Smash man is not there anymore.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
But they changed to, I think, a Princess and the Frog
.
Let's call it something else.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Princess and the Frog .
That's it.
It's Tattoo on as somethingright yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Yeah, so there's obviously a lot of stuff like
that.
That's very different.
But yeah, universal Studios,which is up there in the same
league as Disney, I think.
But yeah, coming to England,they've got a.
What else they've got going on?
They've got a massive hotelthere, all the usual stuff
Retail, dining, entertainmentcomplex Apparently meant to
(36:59):
generate nearly 50 billion.
50 billion pounds for theeconomy by 2055.
20,000 jobs.
50 billion pounds for theeconomy by 2055.
20,000 jobs.
Apparently they're going tosort out rail links to London
and the rest of the country.
So that'd be great.
You know, get a bullet trainfrom Cornwall to Universal
Studios in an hour.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
That'd be amazing.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I doubt that will happen, but you know.
But yeah, so it's still theplanning approval aspects, even
though it's been signed off byPrime Minister, et cetera.
It's still the planningapproval aspects, even though
it's been signed off by primeminister, etc.
There's still the planningapproval.
So, um, but that's meant tostart start in 2026 the
construction.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
So not to be cynical right oh, here we go but?
But if you go to america, toone of these theme parks, yeah,
do you know what the reason is?
It's so good.
What's that?
Because of American cultureright.
The culture over there is ifwe're going to be customer
service facing, we're going towork because it's tip based and
you you get back what you put in.
(37:56):
So if you're a great customerservice, people tip you well
over here.
With the minimal wage you'vegot Brits Are they going to be
able to bring that joy andexperience when they're like, do
you want fudge with her?
It's not gonna be the same isit like that there's, it's not.
You got the weather.
Obviously.
If you go to Florida, it'sgenerally sunshine ten months of
(38:18):
the year.
You can.
The light is there all day over.
Here it rains, so are going towant to go in February.
If you go to Florida inFebruary, it's still going to be
fairly warm.
And you're going to get thereand they're still going to smile
at you Like hi.
Welcome to Universal.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Studios.
It's amazing have a good dayOver here.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
We want.
It ain't going to be the same,is it?
Speaker 2 (38:43):
No, because, even as we've touched upon you know, I
was a privileged kid, um, and Iwas very lucky to do the
disneyland, florida, uh, butalso this school trip to paris,
disney no, you posh bugger butvery different, different
(39:07):
experiences.
It was quite grey in France,they were French yeah yeah, it's
it.
The American vibe does add alot to it.
Yeah, happy people yeah, yeah,the Americans are just.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
OTT, whereas Europeans are not.
We're very reserved, aren't we?
Yeah, similar to happy people.
Yeah yeah, the Americans arejust um OTT.
Europeans are not, which isvery reserved, aren't we?
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Yeah, um similar to the French um certain ways, um
it will be exciting Cause again.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
If you think, I suppose to to counter argue
myself the people who willchoose to go and work at
universal shooters with thepeople who want to work there.
They'll be the people who aregenerally like, ah, this is
amazing, happy to be here, anduniversal will kind.
I imagine they're not going topay minimum wage and just hire
any old tom dick and harry.
It's going to be part of theirhiring process that they only
hire people with some but yeah,but a customer who want to
(40:01):
please customers because it'spart of the experience, isn't't
it?
Because I guarantee this, itwon't be cheap.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
No, oh no, it won't.
Well, no, it won't, but yeah,so yeah.
When Logan's eight, nine, ten,hopefully, we can take him
That'll be amazing dude.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Exciting, what a great first look That'll be
class.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
And then it's.
I don't know if you watched itor not, but Beast Games.
I watched Beast Games recently.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Okay, I know what it is, but I didn't watch it.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
The concept was the actual show itself.
I think could have been a lotbetter.
So, Mr Beast, he's a massiveyoutuber and made loads and
loads of money, um, but beastgames are the biggest prize
money ever and base justchucking money around like
anything, because it was hostedby the youtuber.
He just shouts a lot, to behonest, um, and the format could
(40:56):
have been a lot better.
But, um, there's someinteresting stuff on there, so
there's a lot of um.
There's a thousand contestantsstuff on there, so there's a lot
of um, there's a thousandcontestants, um, and at one
point so I'm interested what youwould do, because I've, my
mindset seemed to be verydifferent than everyone else.
So you're down to I don't know,say, 600 people.
Five get selected.
(41:16):
You're up there, you could, andso sorry, the big, the big
prize is five million dollars,which actually turned out to be
ten million dollars, um, becausethey flipped a coin.
One person flipped a coin.
You either out or flip a coin.
You can double the prize spotto 10 million.
They did that spoiler, wow, to10 million, um, you don't know
(41:37):
this at the time, but so by thetime the five million prize,
you're up there and you'rerepresenting your team of I
don't know another hundredcontestants or whatever.
So you can either keep yourteam in to win the five million
dollars or you and you alone cantake a million dollars what
(41:58):
would you do so million dollars,if you took the million dollars
, the rest of your team.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
They're out there, they're done I'll take a million
dollars, yeah I would.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
I don't know if it's a british thing or not, but but
and all.
There's, there's five, there'sfive teams I don't know these
people.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
I'm on a game show.
Yeah, there's five five teams.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
sorry, I think I I made the numbers too big, but
there's like five people upthere say 100, 100 in each team
and each and every one of theteam captains, whatever they
were, they did not take themillion dollars they could have
took and they kept their team in.
Now I'm probably too selfish,but I would have took the
million dollars.
Sorry, I don't know any of you.
(42:39):
I met you yesterday.
It's a competition yeah, amillion dollars change.
We're in the game to.
Only one person can win thefive million.
Anyway, I'll take the million,thank you max.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
I don't need an extra four million a million dollars
is life-changing amount andyou've entered this as a
competition.
You've not entered this as acharity or as a this is a one
for all for one.
One for all yeah this is likeokay, okay, it's mano a mano,
it's a race to see who can getthe most money in chance of life
.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
And again, spoiler alert none of them won the five
million.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
Okay, well, there you go.
Someone should have said theone million.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
One of them went home with like 190 grand but they
didn't get.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
They could have gone back a few days and just, yeah,
I'll have the million, please,thanks yeah, no, I, I get, I get
, I do get the moral dilemma oflike, okay, share, and all that
kind of stuff, but in thatscenario, that specific scenario
, but you're competing for oneperson to win five million of
course you're not competing.
It's not a team game like it was.
(43:40):
It was that we all get to share.
We all get to share fivemillion, or I can take one
million.
That's different, like actuallyI could.
I could take one million formyself or I could maybe give 20,
20 people, whatever the mathsis on that yeah that's different
because you're like I'm goingto change 20 people's lives here
.
That's not the.
That's not what the scenariowas, though this was like yeah,
(44:01):
that's, that's different.
It's different if you're likeGarrett, if you could have said
right, you, that 1 million, wecan guarantee the 20 people in
the team will get 200,000 yeahthen I'd say, yeah, give
everyone 200,000.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
There we all get 200 grand, we all get to change our
lives yeah but the scenario thatthey put up there, no, I'll
take it in it was interestingconcepts and then later on down
the line there ended up being 10, so you're still competing for
the 5 million.
At the end, 10 left, 10contestants and you're all still
guaranteed to stay in tocompete for the 5 million.
(44:37):
Sorry, the 10 million at thispoint because they flipped a
coin.
Yeah 10 houses.
10 of you left.
These are your houses you'regoing to stay in tonight.
Number one you once.
You go to the house in thefirst, but you get to choose who
goes next.
Um, in priority order.
Here is a million, a milliondollars.
Each of you will come out thehouse one by one and you can
(45:01):
take as much of the milliondollars as you want and go back
into your house.
Then the next person goes in,and the next person, the next
person and the next person,until all 10 of you have come
out of the house.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
Just take the million .
Speaker 2 (45:20):
You'll be great on this show.
So they go into the houses.
The first one comes out andgoes right, there's 10 of us,
I'm going to take 100 grand,because we're all going to take
100 grand each.
So she goes back into her houseand the and the trick was meant
to be none of it.
Nobody knows what each person'stook.
(45:41):
Obviously, if you're second,you kind of work it out because
you go right, there's a millionto begin with, but then, yes,
the first person came out $100.
And they kind of had anagreement that everyone would
take a fair share.
So she took $100,000.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
I've had an agreement .
Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
Second person comes out meant to have an agreement
of $100,000.
The second person comes outRight Meant to have an agreement
of $100,000.
I need this to pay, that to pay, I'll take out $230,000.
Right, then the third personcomes why?
Speaker 1 (46:15):
$230,000?
That's so random.
Speaker 2 (46:17):
There's some sort of reason behind it.
Then the third person comes outexpecting 800,000 left and
they're like, oh, hang on here,they're not sticking to the
rules.
And he works out his debts andstuff and goes hmm, 650,000.
So he just takes 650,000.
And the fourth comes out andgoes oh, Next up, do we have a
(46:43):
little chat or some bad jokes?
Speaker 1 (46:46):
no, we, we can have a little chat to know what we're
learning.
In a minute it's going to comedown we have one more little
finish on some bad jokes finishon some bad jokes finish on some
bad jokes, okay so we have onefirst look, which is a tease for
next time.
So I have, I have embraced, sotry to get fitter.
Well, let's try to get fitter.
We live in Northern Ireland.
(47:07):
There's a lot of good cycletracks around, so we have
embraced the e-bike revolution.
Probably very late to this, butwe have one on order.
E-bike has a battery and amotor.
Speaker 3 (47:25):
So it helps you go further?
Speaker 1 (47:26):
no, you can't so you still have to cycle, you still
have to cycle.
Yeah, so legally if you have abike with a motor and you don't
have to cycle, it's classed as amotorbike or a scooter.
So you have to get tax andinsurance and all that.
So e-bikes they have a motorthat help your pill, but they
don't work unless you pedal sothere's, you get, there's eu
(47:47):
regulations yeah you can, youcan de um, you can effectively
break them so you can.
You can take away all of thethings.
So the one I've ordered rightit's.
It's it's um limited to 250watt output, but it's a 750 watt
motor.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
I think it's a 750 miles per hour.
Speaker 1 (48:05):
If you go on YouTube, well, so this is it right, so
this is the risk.
So if you're on YouTube, youcan find a little video which
will tell you how to unhingeyour e-bike motor and the bike I
have has a throttle.
And if you unhinge the motorwith a 750 watt motor, you can
get up to about 54 miles an hour, you know I'm sorry, um.
(48:33):
However, that doesn't make itillegal in the uk.
You're not meant to do that.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
You can, but you're not meant to so you're like
hurting, I'll go, let's seewithout even pedaling?
Speaker 1 (48:48):
am I losing weight yet?
Am I getting fitter?
What do you need from the spa?
I'm going now, um no, but sothey are limited.
They are constrained in the uk,but you can, you can unhinge
them, but I'm not going to socould you?
Speaker 2 (49:05):
could you legally go to the pub, have 10 pints, get
your e-bike and then go 54 miles?
Speaker 1 (49:13):
no, you can't do that legally okay, but you can, you
can.
You can go to the pub, drink 10points, get your e-bike and
cycle home that is legal, that'sfine yeah, if you're trying to
get up a big hill because welive up a hill yeah so if you're
like I need to go home now, I'mon my bike you got pedal assist
, so you pedal and the motorhelps you get up the hill.
(49:36):
That's how it works.
But if you yeah, if you want tobe a naughty boy, you, um, you
can put in the code and thenjust um.
However, if you get caught forthat, you could be done and go
to prison.
So it's not worth it, not worthit um we've, we are, we are
embracing e-bike in our houseand we're gonna.
(49:57):
We'll let you know how it goes.
Um yeah, we haven't arrived yet, but they'll arrive by the time
we uh do the next episode.
So, um yeah, that's a littletease for next season.
Speaker 3 (50:10):
Um, if I don't turn up it's because I have killed
myself.
Speaker 1 (50:14):
So, uh, let's hope that doesn't happen and, um,
let's hope I don't get arrested.
Yeah, I should have said thatif I'm not here next, let's said
that.
If I'm not here next, let's trythat again.
If I'm not here next season,it's because I've been arrested
because I decided to uncouple mybike from the legal road
regulations and have been thrownin the nick Don't do it.
Right, I'm going to.
(50:34):
I need a pee, so I know no onewants to come and have a chat.
He's got some sad news, like Itold you, he's got some sad news
, so I'm gonna have a pee andthen he's gonna cut.
He's gonna come and told youabout things okay, well, things
(50:59):
all right hello, why are?
You.
Well, I'm actually not sad, I'mactually rather happy.
But I know, yeah, I had somelovely poll news earlier.
Speaker 2 (51:11):
Oh, yes, please tell me about that.
Oh, over 67% said they want youto stay.
Speaker 1 (51:17):
That means 33% of people don't want you to stay.
Speaker 2 (51:20):
No, 33% said specials , which makes you a very special
person.
Speaker 1 (51:25):
Well, that maybe warms the cockles and lets me
know the mindset of some of yourlisteners.
That's nice to know.
But yes, I'm not sad, I've gotnew horizons and new
opportunities.
Speaker 2 (51:37):
I think one listener separately wrote in and said he
should go.
Speaker 1 (51:42):
Yes, but what does that person know?
About anything really, he's noteven a manly man.
Speaker 2 (51:47):
No, they say stupid things like drop the first year
first.
Speaker 1 (51:52):
Exactly.
Well, Dan, it's come to myattention.
Well, it's not even come to myattention.
I've been feeling a bit lowrecently.
Oh no, as you are, well andwell, I'm on my own now.

on my own.

Moving on, um, a little bitfeedback.
Um, a, uh, who's this from?
This is from a walliams thegnome from the bottom of the
garden.
He's written in, okay, and uh,complaint about um, your tips?
(08:06):
Um, so mr hodgkiss suggested,you know, go in the garden, have
some time on your own.
Go in the garden, a bit ofpeace and quiet, because they
won't come out.
So, uh, I, I mean the, theperson writing um, he said he
went into the garden because hehad to dig a hole for a fence
(08:31):
post as you do they joined.
They joined me.
I was in the garden, son andwife came out and they were in
the garden.
Whilst I was in the garden, thegnomes were what was in the
garden when you was in thegarden the gnomes were what.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
What was in the garden when you were there?
The wife and son.
So you wanted some peace andquiet and they came out.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yes, your tip was go in the garden and get a bit of
peace and quiet, because theywon't come out.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
So that's your own fault for letting them out of
the cage, Walliams.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It wasn't me.
This is the writer.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I beg your pardon.
Usually you lock them in,though, don't you?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yeah, you lock the back door.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You lock the front door.
That's how you operate, right.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
And the basement door .
Yeah, no, that's notappropriate.
That's not appropriate.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
We're only joking.

Only joking everyone.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Okay, do you want to send it to my phone?
Could you WhatsApp me orsomething?
Speaker 2 (09:53):

It's an Instagram video, butthen you have to go on your
computer.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Oh yeah, yeah, we tried doing that before.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
So I'll just play it and see if you can get it from,
from the audio perhaps.
Um, so yeah, someone's writtenin and it's uh, it's a bit scary
massage guess.
It's something that you thoughtyou know quite a few years ago.

nothing at all.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I am soaked, you're soaked, soaked, you're soaked
moving on.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
So from previous podcasts you would have listened
that we're hitting heavyheights in countries abroad and
I've checked and it seems to bepronounced Laos.
After all the back and forth, Iwas calling it leo and laos,
you're calling it lao.
There's laos apparently.
(16:33):
So um, so uh.
We were number six and 154 umin laos, so I was thinking we
should season four.
I think we should set oursights of being the top 100
podcast in Laos.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Alright, let's try and do that.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Please support us with that New listeners.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Oh, can I give some feedback Please?
We're in the pond.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
remember we're in the pond, Go for it.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Well, you told me you were going to do about the, the
um, did it, the poll the poll.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
The poll.
I mean, I don't know, do youwant to hear the power?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
is the poll coming back is as opposed so the poll.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
The poll is, uh, still open and I've still not
checked um the postal vote asyet or the email vote um as yet.
So please email in tofirstsitgnomes at outlookcom to
let us know that you do not wantthe no or Gnome to continue or
Thirsty.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
First wasn't it, wasn't it a two?
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I might downsize the Thirsty First I had some
feedback about the Thirsty Firstand the no or no which was
basically we love the podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Maybe those features don't return for season 4.
Maybe we'll learn more aboutthat as this episode goes on we
shall see but the poll, the poll.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
So the question was um, uh, should the, should the
no or no, stay or go?
Um, and 67 said stay no way, itsaid stay.
No way 67% said stay 33% saidappear on specials only Okay and
(18:33):
0% so far say go.
What a win for the no or no.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Nobody expected that.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
No, so watch his face .
But yeah, please do write in.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
It's on today, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
We're open to it.
He's appearing later on so I'llhave a chat with him, but he's
getting old so he might want tostep back a little bit.
But if fans really do want himaround, maybe we could convince
him back for the odd session 67%at Williams.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
That's pretty overwhelming.
You only need a 70% grade toget an A, so 67%, the no or no
is getting a B.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
He's got high standards.
He's like, if I'm not gettingan A+, then what's the point.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
We'll have to talk to him later and see what he
thinks about everything.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
We'll talk to him later.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
You can ask him.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah, a lot of feedback today.
A lot of feedback.
I'll let you do your first look, whilst I just grab a towel.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
So well, uh, my first look.
So there has been a lot of umfor raw online fights, overnight
queues, debate, anger joy.
All of this related tosomething that is very important
(19:54):
to geeks like me the NintendoSwitch 2.
It's been announced.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Switch 2.
Is it any different than Switch?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
So again, listeners who know me, there's probably a
lot of listeners who have justturned off, and understandably
so, because we're grown men andwe should know better than to
play video games.
But the Nintendo Switch 2, as adad, nintendo do a great job of
allowing me to play video gameswhilst also entertaining my son
.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
So I'm a big fan of Nintendo.
On that note, before wecontinue, on my birthday I went
out for dinner with my niece andnephew.
My niece and nephew came roundmy nephew he's learning Spanish
at the moment and they've got aSwitch and, uh, this moment it's
(20:50):
one of those big moments thatyou know it's been.
You know the big moment of thefuture.
My niece has actually invitedme around at some point to play
mario kart on the switch andit's like, wow, that's like the
next generation you get to playit again without feeling guilty.
I get to play it again becauseyou know not because I'm an
(21:11):
adult on my own playing it, it'syou can justify it I can
justify it well you are.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
You're one step ahead of me, williams, sorry well no,
it's it all.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
all ties into exactly why I decided to make this my
first look, because you were notso again, listeners, uh,
williams and myself and a friendof ours who was in the, who was
mentioned in the previousepisode, who makes barbecues and
the manly man but he doesn'tcall himself a manly man.
Oh no, he would never refer tohimself as a manly man because
(21:43):
he's too manly.
He doesn't even know how manlyhe is, but we know, and that's
all that matters.
But we used to play a lot ofMario Kart Double Dash on the
GameCube.
So the Nintendo Switch 2 gotannounced and I was like, oh,
this looks interesting, what'sgoing on?
And it comes with GameCubegames.
Ooh, yeah, so they've got theNintendo.
Yeah, so they've got and youcan buy a GameCube controller
(22:12):
for the switch to.
I was like, oh, that meansdouble-dash is gonna be on there
eventually and they're gonna beable to plan a game key
controller.
But it's not just double dashand you know, gamecube, it's all
online now, so I'm like wepotentially potentially going to
be able to play Double Dashfrom Manly Man's house in London
, your house in Cornwall, myhouse in Northern Ireland, and
(22:35):
we could potentially play DoubleDash together.
And it comes with a camera soyou can see each other, so you
can chat and you can see eachother's faces and, above your
character, you see your other.
So, like you can chat and youcan see each other's faces and,
above your character, you seeyour face and what you're doing.
So, if you're, if you're theregoing, or we can see you go,
whilst you are being baby marion, baby louise, you're going
(22:58):
around baby so nice.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
So this the speed demon that I am of Rainbow Road
and the king of Bowser's Castle,it's potentially coming back
and you could play Mario Kart.
So that's it 100%.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
And I won't even be able to turn it off, because I
won't be able to just get pissedoff, reach over and turn off
the game cube.
So the Nintendo Switch 2 iscoming out and it was available
for pre-order.
So I was like, okay, how do youget about doing this so as a 41
year old man?
So anyone who knows me,including said barbecue man,
(23:36):
knows that over 20 years I havebeen mr scar, lead, mr games
console, but, williams, I'venever had a day one console I've
never got a console on the dayit came out.
Oh my goodness because, like you, have to pre-order and all that
kind of stuff and you know youhave to have income and money.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Are you camping outside a shop like a week
before so you get in the queue?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
no, no, I managed to get one on pre-order, so we have
one, and so brain's been madabout this.
So brain's a nintendo switchboy, yeah, and every day he's
been watching these things onhis switch.
Nintendo director dad can weget one?
Can we go?
No, son, no, not a chance, nota chance.
So little does he know thatthere is one coming.
(24:19):
So it's um, I'm looking forward.
So this is this again any, anylisteners out there?
oh, he won't listen to this, theuh.
But any listeners out there whoare like give me tips for how I
want to make this special forhim?
Right, so it's gonna look tohis 10th birthday.
So how do we make this like?
This is one of those momentsthat's going to be oh, like.
(24:40):
All of all I have done so faris telling him son, you can't
get a pre-order, they, they'renot going to be available for
years.
Like, oh, no, no chance we'llget one.
He's like, oh, okay, you cansee.
He's like, okay, but then I'mgoing to pick him up from school
and take him to go and collectthis thing.
So how do I make this like oneof those moments?
You know yourself I havemoments like this one.
As a kid I remember getting I'dasked for a Game Boy for
(25:04):
Christmas.
This was like 1992.
I'd asked for a Game Boy withTetris for Christmas.
And it was that time where,like, oh, you get a big present
and then a few little presents,and the big present that year
was a Scalextrix.
And I was like, oh, and I wasover the moon, I got a
Scalextrix who wouldn't begrateful?
But I didn't get the Game Boy.
Then, about two o'clock in theafternoon my mom was like what's
(25:28):
this, what's this?
And I was like what is it?
Oh, there's a present behindthe tree Like, oh, we missed one
.
We missed one.
Two o'clock in the afternoonafter the dinner.
We've missed one.
We've missed one.
I said this to Craig so bearingin mind I'd already got over
(25:55):
the disappointment of notgetting the game boy, but then I
have the classic.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Oh, oh, we missed one .
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Oh, this is this says it's silly ass, opened it up.
Game boy tetris, can you I?
I was eight years old and Istill remember this vividly.
It's probably why I lovenintendo so much.
I was eight years old and gotone, so now I'm like, okay, this
is my opportunity to givebraden that I was more of a sega
man myself you're too cool forschool.
Tickle for school, williams,leslie, I'm with sega as well
(26:18):
that goes to show.
Speaker 2 (26:20):

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Anyway, like this is an opportunity with nintendo
switch 2, to really kind of dosomething special for my kid and
like I'm going to enjoy it too,because there's a new game,
maricot world volumes, whichlooks incredible.
Metroid prime 4 looksincredible.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
There's some good games coming um.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
but yeah, I'm excited for the n Switch 2.
I'm excited to give Brain thisexperience and any tips on how
to make it extra special welcome.
How does it differ.
So it's bigger.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Bigger.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
It's got the controllers.
The Joy-Cons can now be used asmice, like as a computer mouse,
so for shooting games and stuffthat's going to be pretty cool.
You can chat, so you can nowcommunicate with other people.
So my nephew, who's just aboutto turn 16, it was.
We went on holiday last yeartogether, we took a switch and
we played Mario Kart and he waslike, oh, I'm going to do this,
(27:16):
I'm going to do this, I'm goingto be the best, and there's a
couple of races.
He beat me, but then it got asthe week went on.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Is this the son of the Forbes listener that was
going to be a guest?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yeah, that's it, the son of the Forbes listener is
going to be a guest and we gotcompetitive with it and
eventually, you know, I was likeI'm going to beat your ass at
Mario Kart because you knowmanly man.
So there's lots of our familydoes like a bit of Nintendo and
a bit of fun.
So it's, it's just, it's justgonna be mario kart world looks
(27:47):

The last time nintendo releaseda new console was the wii u.
After, before the switch wasthe wii u said barbecue man, I
took I bought the console, tookit down to london to stay with
my friend and we spent 24 hourscompleting every cup.
So yeah yeah, so yeah, lookingforward to this it's.
(28:12):
It's good to show as well that,no matter how old you get, you
can still get excited about avideo game console yeah sorry, I
went a bit geeky there didn't I?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
well, I'm not one to ask, but yeah but yeah, nintendo

You can't get hold of one so when's out, when's uh
june the fifth june, the fifthso don't bring me that day so I
presume series four we'll get afirst look at it.
We'll get a first look at it,we will was it worth the hassle,
did brain enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Is Mario Kart world better than Mario Kart Double
Dash?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
find out in season 4.
That's when the listeners comeback, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
of course it is.
Let's have a look at your firstlook, I guess geeky again,
listeners, apologies sorrylisteners but we all had a first
look.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Um, and we'll have a further first look, you know,
for another six years probablyum, but we had the news release
and there's rumors about it.
But the news released with afirst look, that we're gonna get
the universal studios inengland, which was really
exciting.
So I saw that and I was like,is this real?
(29:29):
Because I've seen so many fakenews things.
But we are going to get aUniversal Studios in England.
Amazing so it's going to beUniversal Studios and it's up
there, your Disneyland and allthose sort of parks.
So you've got Tokyo, know,you've got.
You've got tokyo, you've gotorlando, um, and you've got, um,
(29:51):
you've got things in singapore,sydney and all that, and you
got, uh, bedfordshire.
So which?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
is where leslian got her wedding dress from random.
Well, there you go.
So yeah, it's on the map sobedfordshire, there's a.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
You know it's near london, it's about 35 40 minutes
um north of london they'll callit london, so they'll call it
london, the universal studioslondon like paris, these
lampiruses expected open in 2031um over 476 acres um and
(30:37):
several themed lands.
They're not confirmed in it yet, um, but some rumors of the.
So you know like how disney hasits.
Well, you know better than I do.
As, like what future land andstar wars land, or whatever.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
It is incredible.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Yeah, so Universal Studios, which is already big in
America.
So there's rumours of like a.
So it could be a James Bondland, which I think would suit
the London sort of thing.
Lord of the Rings, so Lord ofthe Rings land, that'd be
interesting.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Oh no, that's got to be in New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, but you're not going to get the global traffic
there, are you, or are you?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I don't know.
Good point.
Good point though, yes, sorry.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Again, these are rumours, so it's not confirmed.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Oh, just rumours.
Okay, I beg your pardon, sothere might be Pad bear land
that's rumored, uh, which Icould see if.
Is it gonna be big enough?
I think, what do I?
It's gotta be harry potter,surely harry potter's?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
gotta be the one.
Well, they've already got harrypotter over america, but maybe
they're gonna have.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
You would have thought so.
You would have thought soyou've got warner brothers
studios.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
It's like but is that ?
Where is harry potter partuniversal?
Is it part?
It is so.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
In america universal studios has Studios has has
Harry Potter, but like you'vegot to have, sure what a force,
a or would they want to dosomething different?
Speaker 2 (31:53):
but he would have thought so.
That's true.
A random one which is notreally British back to the
future has been strongly rumoredman which, back to the Future,
theme man.
Which I personally would reallylove.
And I think it still has aglobal appeal Of course it does.
But the youngsters?
(32:14):
Are they Back to the Future?
Do they, are we?
Is it a nostalgic thing?
Back to the Future now.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
So we were randomly talking about this, my wifey
wife and I.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
It's probably, if I had a name, my favorite trilogy.
It could quite possibly be backto future wow, that's a big
claim that's.
I know it's a big claim.
Yeah it is.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
It is up there for me we would talk because because
my, the wife of mine is a big,she's into the theme parks,
she's into the american themeparks and she went to universal
studios in its heyday.
She would say, when it wasterminated, to jaws back to the
future.
And when we went it was it allchanged, it was all the new
(32:58):
things, it was millions and likenonsense, nonsense.
Who wants to go mad?
I don't want to go on Minions,right.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Minions is on the list.
Minions is on the list.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
There was a lot of.
They had like Fast and theFurious and Minions.
I was like how can you compareFast and the Furious and Minions
to Back to the Future andTerminator?
But I suppose in terms ofdollars, fast and the Furious,
and Minions are probably worthloads more.
But, what the probably passiveyears.
(33:30):
It's probably worth loads more,but obviously our age was very
much like yeah, I want to seejaws, I want to go on et I don't
want to see minions, so it'llbe interesting.
It'll be interesting, I mean,back to the future.
Such an iconic brand.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yeah, yeah, that'd be great uh and then you know one
on the on the list of the topsort of rumored ones, uh, which
I think, if they do it right, um, you know, and you know
universal studios or yourDisneyland's, they've got the
money to do it.
Um is Jurassic park.
It's a dress, oh that'd be niceyeah.
You know, if they, if theycould actually create it into a
(33:57):
Jurassic park, then um, back todinosaurs, then uh, I mean,
imagine if you're on Towersright now.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
You're shitting yourself, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Yeah, yeah.
So yeah.
For our foreign listeners, olinTowers is probably the.
You know Olin Towers and FortPark.
They're like the theme parks inEngland, but compared to your
Disneyland's and yourUniversal's they don't have the
money to do the theme as well.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
They're really good rides, but they don't have the
brand power that the Americanbrands do.
The roller coaster might be asgood, but the whole theming,
which is a big thing, isn't it?
Like you know, this is a rollercoaster, but it's the whole
theme.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I told you the story about when I went on the first
experience because I'd arguedhard with the wife that you're
just paying for glorified Altonshowers.
It's going to be no better.
And I was like why no, we needa new kitchen, why would we
(34:57):
waste money on this?
And I fought and fought andfought and lost.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
And then you went.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
And then I went Now you were one of these privileged
kids.
You went when you were a kid.
I was.
I went for the first time whenI was 40, but I must admit now,
the very first ride I went on Iwas like that's a bit different.
That is the whole like fromfrom start to get getting into
(35:25):
the place, but it's so differentnow because, like what, your
experience would still be sodifferent than mine, so I'd like
to get back over to logan there, because it's so different now.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
So I don't know how, because the things that stand
out for me is with disneyland ordisney world.
Disneyland, disney world,florida florida is disney world.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
I uh, florida is Disney world.
Well, there's one of them.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
It's one of them, so I one of the things and with my
gran you know she's on crutchesand in the wheelchair, but it
was great because it meant wecould skip the queue and say oh,
do you want to splash mountain,gran?
Not really.
Yeah, question, splash mountain, really.
(36:11):
Yeah, question Q jump splashmountain.
But back then splash mountainwas based on one of the very few
films you can actually get onDisney anymore because it's a
bit frowned upon racist somesongs of the South songs of the
time yeah, but now it's notanything.
Hasn't got anything with that,does it?
I don't think't think.
I don't know how recently theychanged it.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Smash man is not there anymore.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
But they changed to, I think, a Princess and the Frog
.
Let's call it something else.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Princess and the Frog .
That's it.
It's Tattoo on as somethingright yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Yeah, so there's obviously a lot of stuff like
that.
That's very different.
But yeah, universal Studios,which is up there in the same
league as Disney, I think.
But yeah, coming to England,they've got a.
What else they've got going on?
They've got a massive hotelthere, all the usual stuff
Retail, dining, entertainmentcomplex Apparently meant to
(36:59):
generate nearly 50 billion.
50 billion pounds for theeconomy by 2055.
20,000 jobs.
50 billion pounds for theeconomy by 2055.
20,000 jobs.
Apparently they're going tosort out rail links to London
and the rest of the country.
So that'd be great.
You know, get a bullet trainfrom Cornwall to Universal
Studios in an hour.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
That'd be amazing.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I doubt that will happen, but you know.
But yeah, so it's still theplanning approval aspects, even
though it's been signed off byPrime Minister, et cetera.
It's still the planningapproval aspects, even though
it's been signed off by primeminister, etc.
There's still the planningapproval.
So, um, but that's meant tostart start in 2026 the
construction.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
So not to be cynical right oh, here we go but?
But if you go to america, toone of these theme parks, yeah,
do you know what the reason is?
It's so good.
What's that?
Because of American cultureright.
The culture over there is ifwe're going to be customer
service facing, we're going towork because it's tip based and
you you get back what you put in.
(37:56):
So if you're a great customerservice, people tip you well
over here.
With the minimal wage you'vegot Brits Are they going to be
able to bring that joy andexperience when they're like, do
you want fudge with her?
It's not gonna be the same isit like that there's, it's not.
You got the weather.
Obviously.
If you go to Florida, it'sgenerally sunshine ten months of
(38:18):
the year.
You can.
The light is there all day over.
Here it rains, so are going towant to go in February.
If you go to Florida inFebruary, it's still going to be
fairly warm.
And you're going to get thereand they're still going to smile
at you Like hi.
Welcome to Universal.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Studios.
It's amazing have a good dayOver here.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
We want.
It ain't going to be the same,is it?
Speaker 2 (38:43):
No, because, even as we've touched upon you know, I
was a privileged kid, um, and Iwas very lucky to do the
disneyland, florida, uh, butalso this school trip to paris,
disney no, you posh bugger butvery different, different
(39:07):
experiences.
It was quite grey in France,they were French yeah yeah, it's
it.
The American vibe does add alot to it.
Yeah, happy people yeah, yeah,the Americans are just.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
OTT, whereas Europeans are not.
We're very reserved, aren't we?
Yeah, similar to happy people.
Yeah yeah, the Americans arejust um OTT.
Europeans are not, which isvery reserved, aren't we?
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Yeah, um similar to the French um certain ways, um
it will be exciting Cause again.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
If you think, I suppose to to counter argue
myself the people who willchoose to go and work at
universal shooters with thepeople who want to work there.
They'll be the people who aregenerally like, ah, this is
amazing, happy to be here, anduniversal will kind.
I imagine they're not going topay minimum wage and just hire
any old tom dick and harry.
It's going to be part of theirhiring process that they only
hire people with some but yeah,but a customer who want to
(40:01):
please customers because it'spart of the experience, isn't't
it?
Because I guarantee this, itwon't be cheap.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
No, oh no, it won't.
Well, no, it won't, but yeah,so yeah.
When Logan's eight, nine, ten,hopefully, we can take him
That'll be amazing dude.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Exciting, what a great first look That'll be
class.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
And then it's.
I don't know if you watched itor not, but Beast Games.
I watched Beast Games recently.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Okay, I know what it is, but I didn't watch it.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
The concept was the actual show itself.
I think could have been a lotbetter.
So, Mr Beast, he's a massiveyoutuber and made loads and
loads of money, um, but beastgames are the biggest prize
money ever and base justchucking money around like
anything, because it was hostedby the youtuber.
He just shouts a lot, to behonest, um, and the format could
(40:56):
have been a lot better.
But, um, there's someinteresting stuff on there, so
there's a lot of um.
There's a thousand contestantsstuff on there, so there's a lot
of um, there's a thousandcontestants, um, and at one
point so I'm interested what youwould do, because I've, my
mindset seemed to be verydifferent than everyone else.
So you're down to I don't know,say, 600 people.
Five get selected.
(41:16):
You're up there, you could, andso sorry, the big, the big
prize is five million dollars,which actually turned out to be
ten million dollars, um, becausethey flipped a coin.
One person flipped a coin.
You either out or flip a coin.
You can double the prize spotto 10 million.
They did that spoiler, wow, to10 million, um, you don't know
(41:37):
this at the time, but so by thetime the five million prize,
you're up there and you'rerepresenting your team of I
don't know another hundredcontestants or whatever.
So you can either keep yourteam in to win the five million
dollars or you and you alone cantake a million dollars what
(41:58):
would you do so million dollars,if you took the million dollars
, the rest of your team.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
They're out there, they're done I'll take a million
dollars, yeah I would.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
I don't know if it's a british thing or not, but but
and all.
There's, there's five, there'sfive teams I don't know these
people.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
I'm on a game show.
Yeah, there's five five teams.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
sorry, I think I I made the numbers too big, but
there's like five people upthere say 100, 100 in each team
and each and every one of theteam captains, whatever they
were, they did not take themillion dollars they could have
took and they kept their team in.
Now I'm probably too selfish,but I would have took the
million dollars.
Sorry, I don't know any of you.
(42:39):
I met you yesterday.
It's a competition yeah, amillion dollars change.
We're in the game to.
Only one person can win thefive million.
Anyway, I'll take the million,thank you max.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
I don't need an extra four million a million dollars
is life-changing amount andyou've entered this as a
competition.
You've not entered this as acharity or as a this is a one
for all for one.
One for all yeah this is likeokay, okay, it's mano a mano,
it's a race to see who can getthe most money in chance of life
.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
And again, spoiler alert none of them won the five
million.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
Okay, well, there you go.
Someone should have said theone million.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
One of them went home with like 190 grand but they
didn't get.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
They could have gone back a few days and just, yeah,
I'll have the million, please,thanks yeah, no, I, I get, I get
, I do get the moral dilemma oflike, okay, share, and all that
kind of stuff, but in thatscenario, that specific scenario
, but you're competing for oneperson to win five million of
course you're not competing.
It's not a team game like it was.
(43:40):
It was that we all get to share.
We all get to share fivemillion, or I can take one
million.
That's different, like actuallyI could.
I could take one million formyself or I could maybe give 20,
20 people, whatever the mathsis on that yeah that's different
because you're like I'm goingto change 20 people's lives here
.
That's not the.
That's not what the scenariowas, though this was like yeah,
(44:01):
that's, that's different.
It's different if you're likeGarrett, if you could have said
right, you, that 1 million, wecan guarantee the 20 people in
the team will get 200,000 yeahthen I'd say, yeah, give
everyone 200,000.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
There we all get 200 grand, we all get to change our
lives yeah but the scenario thatthey put up there, no, I'll
take it in it was interestingconcepts and then later on down
the line there ended up being 10, so you're still competing for
the 5 million.
At the end, 10 left, 10contestants and you're all still
guaranteed to stay in tocompete for the 5 million.
(44:37):
Sorry, the 10 million at thispoint because they flipped a
coin.
Yeah 10 houses.
10 of you left.
These are your houses you'regoing to stay in tonight.
Number one you once.
You go to the house in thefirst, but you get to choose who
goes next.
Um, in priority order.
Here is a million, a milliondollars.
Each of you will come out thehouse one by one and you can
(45:01):
take as much of the milliondollars as you want and go back
into your house.
Then the next person goes in,and the next person, the next
person and the next person,until all 10 of you have come
out of the house.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
Just take the million .
Speaker 2 (45:20):
You'll be great on this show.
So they go into the houses.
The first one comes out andgoes right, there's 10 of us,
I'm going to take 100 grand,because we're all going to take
100 grand each.
So she goes back into her houseand the and the trick was meant
to be none of it.
Nobody knows what each person'stook.
(45:41):
Obviously, if you're second,you kind of work it out because
you go right, there's a millionto begin with, but then, yes,
the first person came out $100.
And they kind of had anagreement that everyone would
take a fair share.
So she took $100,000.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
I've had an agreement .
Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
Second person comes out meant to have an agreement
of $100,000.
The second person comes outRight Meant to have an agreement
of $100,000.
I need this to pay, that to pay, I'll take out $230,000.
Right, then the third personcomes why?
Speaker 1 (46:15):
$230,000?
That's so random.
Speaker 2 (46:17):
There's some sort of reason behind it.
Then the third person comes outexpecting 800,000 left and
they're like, oh, hang on here,they're not sticking to the
rules.
And he works out his debts andstuff and goes hmm, 650,000.
So he just takes 650,000.
And the fourth comes out andgoes oh, Next up, do we have a
(46:43):
little chat or some bad jokes?
Speaker 1 (46:46):
no, we, we can have a little chat to know what we're
learning.
In a minute it's going to comedown we have one more little
finish on some bad jokes finishon some bad jokes finish on some
bad jokes, okay so we have onefirst look, which is a tease for
next time.
So I have, I have embraced, sotry to get fitter.
Well, let's try to get fitter.
We live in Northern Ireland.
(47:07):
There's a lot of good cycletracks around, so we have
embraced the e-bike revolution.
Probably very late to this, butwe have one on order.
E-bike has a battery and amotor.
Speaker 3 (47:25):
So it helps you go further?
Speaker 1 (47:26):
no, you can't so you still have to cycle, you still
have to cycle.
Yeah, so legally if you have abike with a motor and you don't
have to cycle, it's classed as amotorbike or a scooter.
So you have to get tax andinsurance and all that.
So e-bikes they have a motorthat help your pill, but they
don't work unless you pedal sothere's, you get, there's eu
(47:47):
regulations yeah you can, youcan de um, you can effectively
break them so you can.
You can take away all of thethings.
So the one I've ordered rightit's.
It's it's um limited to 250watt output, but it's a 750 watt
motor.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
I think it's a 750 miles per hour.
Speaker 1 (48:05):
If you go on YouTube, well, so this is it right, so
this is the risk.
So if you're on YouTube, youcan find a little video which
will tell you how to unhingeyour e-bike motor and the bike I
have has a throttle.
And if you unhinge the motorwith a 750 watt motor, you can
get up to about 54 miles an hour, you know I'm sorry, um.
(48:33):
However, that doesn't make itillegal in the uk.
You're not meant to do that.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
You can, but you're not meant to so you're like
hurting, I'll go, let's seewithout even pedaling?
Speaker 1 (48:48):
am I losing weight yet?
Am I getting fitter?
What do you need from the spa?
I'm going now, um no, but sothey are limited.
They are constrained in the uk,but you can, you can unhinge
them, but I'm not going to socould you?
Speaker 2 (49:05):
could you legally go to the pub, have 10 pints, get
your e-bike and then go 54 miles?
Speaker 1 (49:13):
no, you can't do that legally okay, but you can, you
can.
You can go to the pub, drink 10points, get your e-bike and
cycle home that is legal, that'sfine yeah, if you're trying to
get up a big hill because welive up a hill yeah so if you're
like I need to go home now, I'mon my bike you got pedal assist
, so you pedal and the motorhelps you get up the hill.
(49:36):
That's how it works.
But if you yeah, if you want tobe a naughty boy, you, um, you
can put in the code and thenjust um.
However, if you get caught forthat, you could be done and go
to prison.
So it's not worth it, not worthit um we've, we are, we are
embracing e-bike in our houseand we're gonna.
(49:57):
We'll let you know how it goes.
Um yeah, we haven't arrived yet, but they'll arrive by the time
we uh do the next episode.
So, um yeah, that's a littletease for next season.
Speaker 3 (50:10):
Um, if I don't turn up it's because I have killed
myself.
Speaker 1 (50:14):
So, uh, let's hope that doesn't happen and, um,
let's hope I don't get arrested.
Yeah, I should have said thatif I'm not here next, let's said
that.
If I'm not here next, let's trythat again.
If I'm not here next season,it's because I've been arrested
because I decided to uncouple mybike from the legal road
regulations and have been thrownin the nick Don't do it.
Right, I'm going to.
(50:34):
I need a pee, so I know no onewants to come and have a chat.
He's got some sad news, like Itold you, he's got some sad news
, so I'm gonna have a pee andthen he's gonna cut.
He's gonna come and told youabout things okay, well, things
(50:59):
all right hello, why are?
You.
Well, I'm actually not sad, I'mactually rather happy.
But I know, yeah, I had somelovely poll news earlier.
Speaker 2 (51:11):
Oh, yes, please tell me about that.
Oh, over 67% said they want youto stay.
Speaker 1 (51:17):
That means 33% of people don't want you to stay.
Speaker 2 (51:20):
No, 33% said specials , which makes you a very special
person.
Speaker 1 (51:25):
Well, that maybe warms the cockles and lets me
know the mindset of some of yourlisteners.
That's nice to know.
But yes, I'm not sad, I've gotnew horizons and new
opportunities.
Speaker 2 (51:37):
I think one listener separately wrote in and said he
should go.
Speaker 1 (51:42):
Yes, but what does that person know?
About anything really, he's noteven a manly man.
Speaker 2 (51:47):
No, they say stupid things like drop the first year
first.
Speaker 1 (51:52):
Exactly.
Well, Dan, it's come to myattention.
Well, it's not even come to myattention.
