Hello and welcome to this week's episode of my big
gay podcast with me, benji andme, brad, giving you the life,
the loves and loaves of livingin London Two gays, one city.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
What could possibly go wrong, bonjour, oh, she's got
flavour this week, Sava.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Been practising my Francais ready for Jersey.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
OK, we don't speak French in Jersey.
You'd know this right.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, but you sent me the map earlier of all the
different places and there werea lot of French names and you
said there's a lot of crossoverwith France and England and
Jersey.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I just specifically remember saying that.
But yeah, there are a lot ofroad names that are French, for
sure, but it's actually Gérier,not French.
What's Gérier?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I see you iron up my Gérier.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
You sat there asking to be educated in your seven
pink vest.
Yeah, gérier is just thelanguage that they used to speak
in Jersey.
It's kind of French, but not.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
OK, great.
Well, I've been brushing off myFrench GCSE in preparation for
Channel Islands Pride.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Wow, go on, then, give us some more French.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Bonjour, oui, oui, oui, sava sava
voulez-vous-cuchers avec moi cesoir.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Où est la Derrière?
Où est la Homoes, oh gosh no,not that, not that, not that.
Gosh, it's so offensive.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Anyway, how are you?
I'm good, thanks.
How are you, Mr Red?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I know Podcasts.
We're on FaceTime again lookingat each other and I haven't
looked in the mirror all day andI have been some paving and I'm
rather rouge.
And also look at the colourdifference of my forehead to my
nose.
I know, oh, it's all gone wrong.
It's like a bit up all nightjust sort of huffing poppers.
I've heard that makes your noseget red.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Well, they also make your lips go blue if you do too
much and all.
No really yeah, you've had bluelips before.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
He's speaking from experience.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I've had blue lips before.
Yeah, Got a bit too sniff sniffheavy on the old pop pops.
Oh, how much do you have to?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
take for your lips to go blue.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I don't know.
It's due to the oxygen, isn'tit?
So it's because it starves yourbrain of oxygen.
That's what gives you thatlittle rush.
So, obviously, one night I wasgoing to town like, oh, I'll
have another little little sniff, little wheeze, and look to the
mirror, I looked like I'd beenin the freezer for 10 minutes.
Oh, back in your bottom era, doyou know?
In Titanic, when she's likeJack, jack and he's there with
(03:00):
the blue lips, that was mehanging off the bed with the
handcuffs as well.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Oh my God, that is a vile image to have in my head.
It just gracious me.
Wow, I don't really know whereto go from there, which we'll
recover.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Although quick one have you seen the monsters in?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Can you have the guy with the lips where they go all
like blue and who's?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
in there.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That's how I imagine I imagine he was a monster in
character more than Titanic isvery hot and I am very sunburnt,
but do you know what we live?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I can't actually believe it, right, because it's
been rubbish weather.
I'm not going to talk aboutweather because it is boring,
but boring.
Boring Darling.
Next, you know exactly Packingaway my flip flops, packing away
my vest, unpacking away myshorts.
And what am I in today?
Vests and shorts.
Do you know why it is heatwavein London right now?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Heatwave, heatwave, heatwave, heatwave.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, it's very, very hot.
And just for those people thatI know I'm going to get angry
messages, I was actually wearingsun cream but it was so hot I
think I must have sweat it offbecause I'm off and clearly
burnt.
Yeah, you're very burnt.
Yeah, it was very, very warm.
I know I feel like this alwayshappens.
I actually remember the end ofsummer being kind of rubbish and
then going back to school inlike full boys school uniform,
(04:22):
like blazer, jumper tie, and itbeing blaringly hot.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Do you remember?
Yeah, I need to change up thesummer holidays, don't they?
And let's have August, like,back to work.
So it was a bit wet and rainy.
Yeah, timber, let's have thatoff instead.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, can we just agree that global warming is a
thing and just shift the seasonsaround over slightly, because,
yeah, it's really messing upplans.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, exactly, I was ready to, as I say, put my flip
flops away, and now they're backout and they're all ready for
channel is pride.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Can't wait, oh my goodness, it is going to be
absolutely carnage.
But we'll talk more on that, Ithink, next week.
Since that will be then, I'mgonna go one week before.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah, it's gonna be great.
I'm I'm buzz for it, I reallyam.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, it's gonna be super, super fun.
If you're coming to, let usknow.
But, um, yeah, the heat isreally bad.
Everything is dying.
My garden, the grass is, it'sfrazzled, it's fucking frazzled.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
The other thing that's frazzled is my bloody
houseplants.
Again, I've killed them, notagain.
How do you do it?
I know there's some really goodplant.
Gaze out there and I am trying.
I try so hard every month to bea good plant.
Gay, I really want to be one ofthose people.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I thought all gays were supposed to be good with
plants.
Maybe you're not gay.
I think I am gay, speaking fromthe blue lip experience.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Exactly, exactly.
But I just can't do the plantthing.
I'm trying to really want to bethat bougie gay with, like my
fancy plants.
My friends come around like, oh, this is a to see a one on,
this is a like look at a sucker,or whatever.
Do you know what I mean?
I'm like no, all the plantnames, those of which I'm not
two of them, I just made thoseAll right.
(05:51):
My pansies and my posies.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
You probably just really offended somebody in
their native tongue, tongueswhere oh my goodness.
No, but yeah, I am.
I'll be honest.
Every time I come around yourhouse, I've only ever noticed
one set of plants, the ones upon the dining table.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, so the ones in the living room are actually my
housemates and he is so good atthem.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
It's like an.
It was called not aquarium andavium.
Is that where birds live?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yes, in that big pot.
In it the big pot, the C3 potof the lid on.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Oh, my goodness, I love how you translate things.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
There's me actually trying to get my name.
Is that good thing?
Avium yeah, that big pot.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
The C3 pot.
No, it's nice that.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, but he's really good at them and he always
looks at my plants and he sayshow have you done this?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I've tried a water, I give itlove, I give it sunlight, and
because what happened was, youknow, I went away from New York.
I forgot to ask people to whatmy plants Did.
You go to New York?
Then, if I mentioned, I went toNew York but, yeah, I forgot to
tell people to what my plantscame back, they were thirsty
(06:55):
bottom plants when I got in.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, thirsty like your hair.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
They were gagging for it yeah.
They got it and they they kindof rebloomed a bit.
I was like cool, the green iscoming back.
And they died again.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Oh gosh you can't overwarch them, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, obviously I'm doing something wrong, so I need
a good education and being agay plant dad.
So if anyone can help me out, Iwould very much appreciate it,
do you?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
know what?
I'll put some pictures of yourdying plants on the Instagram.
We'll see what people come backwith.
Okay, let's do it.
You might be repot the.
Do you know what?
We'll leave that to thelisteners.
I'm sure some of you listeningis really good with plants.
In fact, the drag gardener I'msure will help you with that.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Of course, yeah.
Why did you even think aboutthat?
Yeah, that would make totalsense.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Well, maybe we'll get them on and we'll get some,
some super advice from them.
But yeah, super sunburnedplants are dead.
Oh gosh, let's find thepositive in this week.
Have you been up to anythingfun?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I have.
I went to two birthday partiesthis weekend.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Oh my, I thought you were trying to calm down a bit,
I know.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I know I'm trying.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Keep getting booked up, booked up.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Either I've got sunstroke or I'm actually
finding you genuinely reallyquite hilarious tonight.
I don't know which it is, I'mpretty sure it's a sunburn.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I think it's a sunstroke as well.
Yeah yeah, two parties, so onewas to virtual reality gaming in
London.
Have you ever done that beforewith the goggles?
The?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
guns, everything.
No, but I have seen like a reelon it and it looked amazing.
Is it the same place that alsohas the drinks arm machine that
like makes the drinks for you.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yes, oh my goodness, yes, the robot arm.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, yeah, go on, tell us all about it.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Okay, so the robot cocktail bar is a bar basically
run by robots.
There's no one behind it.
You tap in on the iPad whatcocktail you want and above it
is all the spirits and mixes andlike these robot arms like get
the drink, get the ice, and theylike pour all the liquids in,
shake it and serve it to you.
That's terrifying.
Yeah, it is slightly scary, butit's also like really
mesmerizing as well.
Proper, like artificialintelligence, era, right, but
(08:46):
then virtual reality gaming.
Honestly, you're in like thisbig white room, but you're on,
you've got like goggles on andheadsets and you've got all
these like things on your bodyand like a vest with all like
little knobs on.
Basically, Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Well, you love vest and you love knobs.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Exactly so.
It's a win-win.
And when you put the goggles on, you look like you're walking
in the world.
It's amazing, I can't describeit.
It feels like you're not there.
And then then they've got alllike wind machines and like fire
machines.
So we did this dragon typetheme thing.
So when the dragon was flyingover you, like that, obviously
the fans are going in, so youfeel like all the wind in your
face, wow, dragons comingtowards you, and then it all
(09:24):
like breathe fire and it getsreally hot in the room and like
your vest vibrates and things.
And oh yeah, it's really good.
Wow, what's this place called?
It's called Sandbox, sandbox VRvirtual reality.
But you're a bit of a gameryourself, so I thought you would
have been.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I haven't been, but I have heard of Sandbox.
They are like a technologicalcompany.
They think they run some games.
In fact, some of the the worldsthat maybe you went to, the
dragon might be part of a gamethat they have designed.
That sounds super fun.
I would definitely do that.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, they've got all sorts.
Obviously we did like a dragonone.
I've also been there before andI've done like a horror zombie
type thing.
They've got it all likedifferent styles yeah, whatever
you're into.
So I highly recommend that.
And then obviously went out andafterwards and had lots of
drinks and danced the night away.
Yeah, classic, classic.
And then the second night I wentto a straight birthday.
(10:11):
So very different vibe what?
Yeah, no, the first night was agay gays night.
The second night was a straightnight Again, had so much fun.
Went to piano works.
Oh my goodness, do you knowwhat we went before piano works?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Where.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Where we found love in a hubris place.
I sing easy.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Oh, my goodness yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
That's where we met on our first day.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
That is yeah, that is actually yeah, yeah, so we.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, the party started off at sing easy, which
is it it's part of piano works,is like this little like side
room and they have like a pianoin there and someone's playing
the piano and they're likesinging waiters and they like
serve you and they all liketaking turns to sing and it's
more kind of like theater based,so they sing like show tunes
and things and then that closesand go into piano works, which
is then like similar kind ofthing, but on a much larger
scale.
Yeah, and yeah, they play alllike pop songs.
(10:56):
You can put in requests, don'tyou?
So they've got like a smallband and you can request
whatever and they sing it andthey shout your request and then
they have a DJ on.
And it was amazing, loved it.
Best night ever, best night ever.
That was really good.
I felt like I was at a wedding.
It's that sort of vibe andeveryone's dancing, everyone's
singing like the good partysongs and the great time.
Really good atmosphere, lovedit.
I mean, it's definitelystraight vibes in there,
(11:17):
definitely straight vibes, yeah,but nice, straight vibes, good
fun.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Good fun yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Straight vibes, because sometimes you go to
straight vibes but like, oh, I'mnot feeling it.
Straight vibes, yeah, this Iwas feeling it.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
The live music definitely does make a huge
difference, doesn't it?
And it's a full band in themain room, right?
So you're giving requests andthey play.
Yeah, no, it's good, good fun.
I know the venue well.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
But yeah, when we were seeing that sing easy the
first room we sat down, I waslike that is the table at Benji
many years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh, my goodness, where I bought champagne and
then you took me for one poundshots.
Do I keep mentioning that?
Yeah, I love it.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
But who was more fun?
Me with my one pound shots, Ithink.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Anyway.
So later on in the book, oh, mygoodness, do you know one thing
I wanted to bring up with you.
I knew he brought us up lastweek actually and there wasn't
really a good moment, butsomebody wrote into us and said
it was lovely compliments tosort of say this into the
podcast blah, blah, blah.
But do they feel that we feelthe pressures of celebrating
being gay and like the onlythings that we can do really
(12:21):
involve heavy drinking?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah, I do kind of agree with that 100%.
I think drinking is actuallygenerally a UK culture, right.
I feel like so much of goingout in the UK is centered around
drinking.
For sure, I mean for us it is.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It's very different because we're in London, like if
you go on holiday there aregoing to be clubs everywhere,
right, you go to the strips, yougo whatever.
I mean it doesn't obviouslydepend on where you go on
holiday and London clubs arejust everywhere.
But I it did make me think, andI don't think that I actually
drink that much.
I only drink really if I'mgoing out and I do many other
things in my week that don'tinvolve alcohol at all.
(12:59):
But I do know that a lot of thethings that we do bring to the
podcast do seem to involvealcohol.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
No, I agree.
I would say I'm actually abinge drinker, right, so I won't
really drink much during theweek, yeah, but when it's the
weekends, I just can't helpmyself.
I do go a bit wild sometimes,as you know, and I think like
then a lot of our fun sillystories do come from those like
big nights out rather than justlike the general like day to day
in the week, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I don't know what the answer is to that.
I don't think they're wrong.
I definitely know that I yeah,I guess I would call it binge
drinking.
I suppose I don't drink duringthe week, I kind of do it the
weekends, but I always very muchfeeling control of myself,
other than that one time inBrighton not that long ago where
it all went very, very wrong.
I always drink knowing when Ishould stop, for sure, like 100%
(13:49):
, like I always feel in controlof myself.
But it is a really good point.
I do think that in the gay sceneI don't know if they have it as
much in the heteroscene I'm notin that world but a lot of our
events and things that go on forgay people do seem to centre
around a bar, and we have spokenbefore on the podcast about how
substance abuse is very muchpart of certain areas of gay
(14:13):
culture.
Yeah, for sure, and that isdefinitely quite a damaging
thing.
But yeah, I just thought it wasreally interesting.
I'd never really thought of thefact that people that don't
know the rest of what we get upto, because obviously we talk
like every day but so much goeson that doesn't actually involve
drinking.
I just thought it was quiteinteresting.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
No, you're right, and I did feel actually, we went
through a bit of a period whereI was like, oh, we went out and
got drunk again this weekend andwe I felt like we did that for
quite some time, partly becauseit was summer festival season.
So every weekend we were ateither a different Pride event
or a festival or some kind oflike big outdoorsy thing.
And I do love summer season forthat reason, because it is a
(14:52):
very sociable season, but a lotof it is, as you say, you
catered around drinking alcohol.
So now I think I think you'resimilar.
I would say I'm addicted toalcohol because I can show you I
don't.
I don't feel like I need itduring the week, I don't feel
like I need alcohol.
I do enjoy it and I do enjoythat sort of thing.
I'm being a bit tipsy actually,as I've got older don't like
(15:15):
getting drunk to the point whereit's like really messy, chaotic
, because the next day is it'sjust not worth it anymore.
When is the 20s?
Never really said, havehangovers, to be honest.
Yeah, literally.
But yeah, I think the last fewyears it's definitely sort of
caught up with me and I hate thehangovers because they're
really bad and it wipes me outfor like at least a day
(15:36):
sometimes to yeah for me, it'stoday if I have a really like
wild night yeah again.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I don't touch anything other than alcohol and
still that whites me out for twodays.
Alcohol in my system, just it.
It's painful, yeah I thought itwas just interesting once I
thought I'd bring it up and seeif anyone else fills that sort
of pressure out there being onthe gay scene that everything
they want to go to seems tocenter around alcohol.
Because, like you said before,like I, I do enjoy gaming and
for me that does not involvealcohol.
(16:01):
And there are so many thingsout there around gaming like we
were gonna explore gamers, theLondon gaming society for gay
people, but I bet you it'shosted like a pub or at a place
that serving alcohol yeah, Ithink it is, yeah, yeah I just
thought it was an interestingpoint to bring up.
But I'm gonna wrap that up.
It's just the end of thethought of somebody saying that
we sort of we do drink a lot andwe talk about how we go out and
(16:24):
drink, we do do other things aswell.
We don't just get hammers andbut yeah, I think maybe we
should cast our own a little bitfurther and try find other
things we gave people to do inLondon which maybe don't center
around a bar.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Cool.
So yeah, you know me, I love anadventure, so let's do it bring
the alcohol, bring the hitflask.
Speaker 2 (16:47):

(20:53):
Got it.
Foot in Mud Lovely.
So I need you to take me tolike the mud places, the beach
places, the sand places.
Then we're going to go to ashop and we're going to get some
food.
So then you're going to besquirting squirted cream on my
feet and be like no, ma'am,squirted cream squirted on sexy
foot.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
No ma'am, no ma'am.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
You're meant to be supportive.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Okay, I'm really supportive.
I will buy the ketchup, I willbuy the mayonnaise, I will be
there for you every step of theway for this multi-million pound
idea.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Thank you.
And now I was also thinking Idon't know what your feet are
like.
I don't think I've ever reallyseen your feet.
I've got really good feet.
Okay, Foot collab is what I wasthinking.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Okay.
Well bearing in mind that I diduse like I've been talking a
long time ago, but I did used todance.
My feet are pretty battered.
Oh, no, well, I tell you whatyou can have a look at them when
you're next round.
I do know where I can get somereally good like foot products
to make them like shiny andclean.
Great, perfect, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I'm not going to give it because I don't have a foot
fetish.
Right, I'm very happy with mine, dude, but that personally
isn't for me.
I was like what would I maybefind like sexy, like a foot, but
then someone's squeezing likebaby oil on it, so it like runs
down, the foot, drips off.
And I was thinking then peoplelike two feet, almost maybe like
a free, some kind of vibes, wecan like interlock our toes
together and like squirt bigbeans on them.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Oh yeah, okay, I'm still getting over the term foot
collab with a month of you.
But no, I'm definitely down forgiving this a go.
Yeah, I fully support your newbusiness venture.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Thank you, thank you.
Well, watch this space andpodcasters.
If any of you are into footfetishes, let me know and I'll
send you the link.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
All right, he will not.
I'm changing the password.
I still need you to not sendpeople.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Oh goodness, but there we go.
That's my new business idea.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I can imagine, in getting to the stage like you're
where you become like ArianaGrande.
You know, when she gets carriedaround backstage she doesn't
get tired.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
No, I did not know that, but I love that for her.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Oh yeah, when she does like big, big gigs, she
pays somebody to carry heraround so she doesn't walk.
Great Give her.
Yeah, but I felt like that'sgoing to be you, but I can't
actually walk on this.
It's really bad for my feet.
I've got a very importantclient for morning, that's going
to be you.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Absolutely, and you know I broke my foot last year
so I've got to be extra carefulnow.
No sports, no more.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
No sports.
I need to get him insured.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
What's your business name going to be?
Well, I haven't got a name.
It's just part of this website,isn't it?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
But did you come up with like a sexy username.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I did.
I'm not going to tell youbecause you take the piss Brad's
Bunions.
Brad's Boils.
Oh, Brad's Verukas.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
No, no, absolutely not Kid, I don't have any of
those.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
That's why I'm going into the foot industry, because
I've got the goods All right.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Well, you heard it here first everyone, he's got
the goods.
He's saying up a foot businessand, genuinely, if you do have a
foot fetish or you know someonethat does, or maybe you've
dated somebody who has beeninterested in foot fetishes,
write in just to let us know.
We are super duper interestedin this and, as always, there is
zero judgment on this.
The only reason I'm laughing isbecause Brad's trying to start
off a business.
Taking pictures of his feet isjust iconic.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Hey Brad, oh hi, Benji Brad, what's on your mind?
Oh nothing, benji, justdaydreaming, I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
What are you daydreaming about this time?
A thicker hairline?
Not today.
Oh then what is it?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I just wish I could do more to support the community
without breaking the bank.
Speaker 2 (24:39):

The Rainbow Lottery Supporting LGBTQ plus Dreams.

Wet Dreams not included.
It's time for the gay news.
Do you know what we will be?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
telling you today on the gay news with.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Benji and Brad, now Paul Castor.
If you listened to last week'sepisode, you will know that Brad
recently flew all the way toNew York and back again because
he won't shut up.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
But on the aeroplane.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
He discussed about how he didn't think it was fair
for other passengers when therewere small children on board who
obviously would just bescreaming up all night, etc.
Because they don't like beingon planes.
Why are you bringing on them?
And you said, brad, that youthought we should have like
aeroplanes that are just foradults.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Yeah, I agree.
Or like sections or whatever,and you pay an extra premium and
you know there's not going tobe a baby in sight.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Well, somebody heard the podcast and your wish has
very much been granted because,literally like the day after the
podcast episode came out, twoairlines have announced that
they are now doing adult onlyaeroplanes with child free zones
, so that quiet aeroplanesspecifically for people like you
that are miserable when theysee a child and they can have a
nice night's sleep on their wayto New York City.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I mean ask and you shall be given.
This is amazing news.
And also I love it that peopleactually screenshot this news
and send it in yeah, the podcastas well.
So they also saw the news.
Unfortunately, you know what?
I think Brad and Benji aregoing to really appreciate this
and we did, yeah, how amazing.
I will 100% be booking withthat.
I think that's such a good idea.
I think that's how it should be.
(27:06):
Anyway, as I said last week, Iwasn't trying to be like anti
children or you know.
I do understand that that'snext week's episode Exactly but
I do think it is quite selfishto put babies in confined spaces
, you know, unlike the tube andthe trains and things like.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah so this is amazing news.
It's so good and I totallyagree with you.
I'm 100% with you, but I doknow that sometimes they're just
you can't get around it, youhave to take the baby somewhere
to visit family, etc.
But this, what they've come upwith, is the best possible
outcome, because now we canchoose to go on a plane which
you are not allowed to bringyour child.
And then there are planes wherepeople don't mind Maybe it'll
(27:44):
be a little bit cheaper, I don'tknow and people can feel
comfortable knowing that they'vebrought their baby on a plane
and everyone knows that this isa plane.
The babies come on.
I think it is win win foreveryone.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Exactly that.
So if your baby wants to screamand cry, that's fine.
Your baby can do that.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
You realize the baby is crying, I do.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Does baby enjoy the theater Is?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
your baby, jocelyn.
But this baby is going to bedrinking a rose and watching
telly in the peace and quiet.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
That's cracking out my phone and get you everyone to
sing along to sweet Caroline.
More on that later.
One more quick thing.
So we've heard about the flightjourney, etc.
When you got off the plane thisis going to sound really random
, but I'm going with some morewith this what did the air
stewards actually say to you?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Right, see you later.
Nice to chat to you.
Have a great time in New Yorkso they didn't say anything else
.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
They didn't say things like cheerio.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
No, I told you, no one says cheerio.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Well, it is so weird that you should say this again,
really weird that all of thishappened in one episode last
week.
Somebody and that's somebodywho they actually are an air
steward that works for a very,very large airline, we should
say on the airplane themselves,they have slid into our DMs,
which we love, and have told usthat they have a code that they
(29:03):
say goodbye to people in acertain way to let other
stewards know that they fancythat person Right.
So if you're leaving theairplane and one of the air
stewards, ostrudacis, sayscheerio, that actually means
they fancy you and they'retrying to the other, a steward
and stewards of the stewardessis no that you, that they fancy
(29:24):
you so like cheeky airplane codeit's full-on like flirtatious,
yeah that is good to know forthe future, because if I'm
walking off the plane and Ifancy an, a steward, I might be
like, hey, cheerio.
I don't think you need to sayhey and cheerio.
I think it's just cheerio.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
But you could say cheerio with a bit of a wing of
a wing, yeah, and then he mightbe like, oh, cheerio.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
No, thank you so much for flying.
You have drunk us out ofminiature vodka.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
But yeah, so that's fun fact right that is a great
fact.
I love that.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
So if you have anyone traveling for work, be on full
alert for a very large Englishbased Airline company.
If they say cheerio to you whenyou leave, it means they fancy
you and on that note, podcastsway, you're not gonna confess
your undying love for me now.
No, I think you need to getover that.
(30:27):
That shit was very much sailedand sunk.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
All right, let it go, benji, you never guess where I
was this week.
I went back to the place thatwe met.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Not by choice.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I asked to sit the exact table where we looked into
each other's eyes and yourealize that my hairline was
fake.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Anyway, you interrupt to me while I'm singing my sign
off, go on, go for it podcastis.

What could possibly go wrong, bonjour, oh, she's got
flavour this week, Sava.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Been practising my Francais ready for Jersey.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
OK, we don't speak French in Jersey.
You'd know this right.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, but you sent me the map earlier of all the
different places and there werea lot of French names and you
said there's a lot of crossoverwith France and England and
Jersey.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I just specifically remember saying that.
But yeah, there are a lot ofroad names that are French, for
sure, but it's actually Gérier,not French.
What's Gérier?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I see you iron up my Gérier.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
You sat there asking to be educated in your seven
pink vest.
Yeah, gérier is just thelanguage that they used to speak
in Jersey.
It's kind of French, but not.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
OK, great.
Well, I've been brushing off myFrench GCSE in preparation for
Channel Islands Pride.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Wow, go on, then, give us some more French.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Bonjour, oui, oui, oui, sava sava
voulez-vous-cuchers avec moi cesoir.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Où est la Derrière?
Où est la Homoes, oh gosh no,not that, not that, not that.
Gosh, it's so offensive.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Anyway, how are you?
I'm good, thanks.
How are you, Mr Red?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I know Podcasts.
We're on FaceTime again lookingat each other and I haven't
looked in the mirror all day andI have been some paving and I'm
rather rouge.
And also look at the colourdifference of my forehead to my
nose.
I know, oh, it's all gone wrong.
It's like a bit up all nightjust sort of huffing poppers.
I've heard that makes your noseget red.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Well, they also make your lips go blue if you do too
much and all.
No really yeah, you've had bluelips before.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
He's speaking from experience.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I've had blue lips before.
Yeah, Got a bit too sniff sniffheavy on the old pop pops.
Oh, how much do you have to?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
take for your lips to go blue.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I don't know.
It's due to the oxygen, isn'tit?
So it's because it starves yourbrain of oxygen.
That's what gives you thatlittle rush.
So, obviously, one night I wasgoing to town like, oh, I'll
have another little little sniff, little wheeze, and look to the
mirror, I looked like I'd beenin the freezer for 10 minutes.
Oh, back in your bottom era, doyou know?
In Titanic, when she's likeJack, jack and he's there with
(03:00):
the blue lips, that was mehanging off the bed with the
handcuffs as well.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Oh my God, that is a vile image to have in my head.
It just gracious me.
Wow, I don't really know whereto go from there, which we'll
recover.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Although quick one have you seen the monsters in?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Can you have the guy with the lips where they go all
like blue and who's?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
in there.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That's how I imagine I imagine he was a monster in
character more than Titanic isvery hot and I am very sunburnt,
but do you know what we live?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I can't actually believe it, right, because it's
been rubbish weather.
I'm not going to talk aboutweather because it is boring,
but boring.
Boring Darling.
Next, you know exactly Packingaway my flip flops, packing away
my vest, unpacking away myshorts.

messages, I was actually wearingsun cream but it was so hot I
think I must have sweat it offbecause I'm off and clearly
burnt.
Yeah, you're very burnt.

And let's have August, like,back to work.
So it was a bit wet and rainy.
Yeah, timber, let's have thatoff instead.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, can we just agree that global warming is a
thing and just shift the seasonsaround over slightly, because,
yeah, it's really messing upplans.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, exactly, I was ready to, as I say, put my flip
flops away, and now they're backout and they're all ready for
channel is pride.

Yeah yeah, two parties, so onewas to virtual reality gaming in
London.
Have you ever done that beforewith the goggles?
The?

Yes, oh my goodness, yes, the robot arm.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, yeah, go on, tell us all about it.
Speaker 1 (08:23):

run by robots.
There's no one behind it.
You tap in on the iPad whatcocktail you want and above it
is all the spirits and mixes andlike these robot arms like get
the drink, get the ice, and theylike pour all the liquids in,
shake it and serve it to you.
That's terrifying.
Yeah, it is slightly scary, butit's also like really
mesmerizing as well.
Proper, like artificialintelligence, era, right, but
(08:46):
then virtual reality gaming.
Honestly, you're in like thisbig white room, but you're on,

these like things on your bodyand like a vest with all like
little knobs on.
Basically, Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Well, you love vest and you love knobs.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Exactly so.
It's a win-win.
And when you put the goggles on, you look like you're walking
in the world.
It's amazing, I can't describeit.
It feels like you're not there.
And then then they've got alllike wind machines and like fire
machines.
So we did this dragon typetheme thing.
So when the dragon was flyingover you, like that, obviously
the fans are going in, so youfeel like all the wind in your
face, wow, dragons comingtowards you, and then it all

your vest vibrates and things.
And oh yeah, it's really good.

I haven't been, but I have heard of Sandbox.
They are like a technologicalcompany.
They think they run some games.
In fact, some of the the worldsthat maybe you went to, the
dragon might be part of a gamethat they have designed.
That sounds super fun.
I would definitely do that.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, they've got all sorts.
Obviously we did like a dragonone.
I've also been there before andI've done like a horror zombie
type thing.
They've got it all likedifferent styles yeah, whatever
you're into.
So I highly recommend that.
And then obviously went out andafterwards and had lots of
drinks and danced the night away.
Yeah, classic, classic.
And then the second night I wentto a straight birthday.
(10:11):
So very different vibe what?
Yeah, no, the first night was agay gays night.
The second night was a straightnight Again, had so much fun.
Went to piano works.
Oh my goodness, do you knowwhat we went before piano works?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Where.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Where we found love in a hubris place.
I sing easy.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Oh, my goodness yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
That's where we met on our first day.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
That is yeah, that is actually yeah, yeah, so we.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, the party started off at sing easy, which
is it it's part of piano works,is like this little like side
room and they have like a pianoin there and someone's playing
the piano and they're likesinging waiters and they like
serve you and they all liketaking turns to sing and it's
more kind of like theater based,so they sing like show tunes
and things and then that closesand go into piano works, which
is then like similar kind ofthing, but on a much larger
scale.
Yeah, and yeah, they play alllike pop songs.
(10:56):
You can put in requests, don'tyou?
So they've got like a smallband and you can request
whatever and they sing it andthey shout your request and then
they have a DJ on.
And it was amazing, loved it.
Best night ever, best night ever.
That was really good.
I felt like I was at a wedding.
It's that sort of vibe andeveryone's dancing, everyone's
singing like the good partysongs and the great time.
Really good atmosphere, lovedit.
I mean, it's definitelystraight vibes in there,
(11:17):
definitely straight vibes, yeah,but nice, straight vibes, good
fun.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Good fun yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Straight vibes, because sometimes you go to
straight vibes but like, oh, I'mnot feeling it.
Straight vibes, yeah, this Iwas feeling it.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
The live music definitely does make a huge
difference, doesn't it?
And it's a full band in themain room, right?
So you're giving requests andthey play.
Yeah, no, it's good, good fun.
I know the venue well.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
But yeah, when we were seeing that sing easy the
first room we sat down, I waslike that is the table at Benji
many years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh, my goodness, where I bought champagne and
then you took me for one poundshots.
Do I keep mentioning that?
Yeah, I love it.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
But who was more fun?
Me with my one pound shots, Ithink.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Anyway.
So later on in the book, oh, mygoodness, do you know one thing
I wanted to bring up with you.
I knew he brought us up lastweek actually and there wasn't
really a good moment, butsomebody wrote into us and said
it was lovely compliments tosort of say this into the
podcast blah, blah, blah.
But do they feel that we feelthe pressures of celebrating
being gay and like the onlythings that we can do really
(12:21):
involve heavy drinking?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah, I do kind of agree with that 100%.
I think drinking is actuallygenerally a UK culture, right.
I feel like so much of goingout in the UK is centered around
drinking.
For sure, I mean for us it is.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It's very different because we're in London, like if
you go on holiday there aregoing to be clubs everywhere,
right, you go to the strips, yougo whatever.
I mean it doesn't obviouslydepend on where you go on
holiday and London clubs arejust everywhere.
But I it did make me think, andI don't think that I actually
drink that much.
I only drink really if I'mgoing out and I do many other
things in my week that don'tinvolve alcohol at all.
(12:59):
But I do know that a lot of thethings that we do bring to the
podcast do seem to involvealcohol.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
No, I agree.
I would say I'm actually abinge drinker, right, so I won't
really drink much during theweek, yeah, but when it's the
weekends, I just can't helpmyself.
I do go a bit wild sometimes,as you know, and I think like
then a lot of our fun sillystories do come from those like
big nights out rather than justlike the general like day to day
in the week, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I don't know what the answer is to that.
I don't think they're wrong.
I definitely know that I yeah,I guess I would call it binge
drinking.
I suppose I don't drink duringthe week, I kind of do it the
weekends, but I always very muchfeeling control of myself,
other than that one time inBrighton not that long ago where
it all went very, very wrong.
I always drink knowing when Ishould stop, for sure, like 100%
(13:49):
, like I always feel in controlof myself.
But it is a really good point.
I do think that in the gay sceneI don't know if they have it as
much in the heteroscene I'm notin that world but a lot of our
events and things that go on forgay people do seem to centre
around a bar, and we have spokenbefore on the podcast about how
substance abuse is very muchpart of certain areas of gay
(14:13):
culture.
Yeah, for sure, and that isdefinitely quite a damaging
thing.
But yeah, I just thought it wasreally interesting.
I'd never really thought of thefact that people that don't
know the rest of what we get upto, because obviously we talk
like every day but so much goeson that doesn't actually involve
drinking.
I just thought it was quiteinteresting.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
No, you're right, and I did feel actually, we went
through a bit of a period whereI was like, oh, we went out and
got drunk again this weekend andwe I felt like we did that for
quite some time, partly becauseit was summer festival season.
So every weekend we were ateither a different Pride event
or a festival or some kind oflike big outdoorsy thing.
And I do love summer season forthat reason, because it is a
(14:52):
very sociable season, but a lotof it is, as you say, you
catered around drinking alcohol.
So now I think I think you'resimilar.
I would say I'm addicted toalcohol because I can show you I
don't.
I don't feel like I need itduring the week, I don't feel
like I need alcohol.
I do enjoy it and I do enjoythat sort of thing.
I'm being a bit tipsy actually,as I've got older don't like
(15:15):
getting drunk to the point whereit's like really messy, chaotic
, because the next day is it'sjust not worth it anymore.
When is the 20s?
Never really said, havehangovers, to be honest.
Yeah, literally.
But yeah, I think the last fewyears it's definitely sort of
caught up with me and I hate thehangovers because they're
really bad and it wipes me outfor like at least a day
(15:36):
sometimes to yeah for me, it'stoday if I have a really like
wild night yeah again.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I don't touch anything other than alcohol and
still that whites me out for twodays.
Alcohol in my system, just it.
It's painful, yeah I thought itwas just interesting once I
thought I'd bring it up and seeif anyone else fills that sort
of pressure out there being onthe gay scene that everything
they want to go to seems tocenter around alcohol.
Because, like you said before,like I, I do enjoy gaming and
for me that does not involvealcohol.
(16:01):
And there are so many thingsout there around gaming like we
were gonna explore gamers, theLondon gaming society for gay
people, but I bet you it'shosted like a pub or at a place
that serving alcohol yeah, Ithink it is, yeah, yeah I just
thought it was an interestingpoint to bring up.
But I'm gonna wrap that up.
It's just the end of thethought of somebody saying that
we sort of we do drink a lot andwe talk about how we go out and
(16:24):
drink, we do do other things aswell.
We don't just get hammers andbut yeah, I think maybe we
should cast our own a little bitfurther and try find other
things we gave people to do inLondon which maybe don't center
around a bar.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Cool.
So yeah, you know me, I love anadventure, so let's do it bring
the alcohol, bring the hitflask.
Speaker 2 (16:47):

I agree with you about the phonesituation.
It's not really great fortaking pictures, but I know
someone who I do a podcast with,who's really good at taking
pictures and has a lovely phoneoh gosh, who I'm going to be
spending the whole weekend with.
So I'm thinking Foot in Sand onJersey Beach as a photo album.

And now I was also thinking Idon't know what your feet are
like.
I don't think I've ever reallyseen your feet.
I've got really good feet.
Okay, Foot collab is what I wasthinking.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Okay.
Well bearing in mind that I diduse like I've been talking a
long time ago, but I did used todance.
My feet are pretty battered.
Oh, no, well, I tell you whatyou can have a look at them when
you're next round.
I do know where I can get somereally good like foot products
to make them like shiny andclean.
Great, perfect, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I'm not going to give it because I don't have a foot
fetish.
Right, I'm very happy with mine, dude, but that personally
isn't for me.
I was like what would I maybefind like sexy, like a foot, but
then someone's squeezing likebaby oil on it, so it like runs
down, the foot, drips off.
And I was thinking then peoplelike two feet, almost maybe like
a free, some kind of vibes, wecan like interlock our toes
together and like squirt bigbeans on them.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Oh yeah, okay, I'm still getting over the term foot
collab with a month of you.
But no, I'm definitely down forgiving this a go.
Yeah, I fully support your newbusiness venture.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Thank you, thank you.
Well, watch this space andpodcasters.
If any of you are into footfetishes, let me know and I'll
send you the link.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
All right, he will not.
I'm changing the password.
I still need you to not sendpeople.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Oh goodness, but there we go.
That's my new business idea.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I can imagine, in getting to the stage like you're
where you become like ArianaGrande.
You know, when she gets carriedaround backstage she doesn't
get tired.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
No, I did not know that, but I love that for her.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Oh yeah, when she does like big, big gigs, she
pays somebody to carry heraround so she doesn't walk.
Great Give her.
Yeah, but I felt like that'sgoing to be you, but I can't
actually walk on this.
It's really bad for my feet.
I've got a very importantclient for morning, that's going
to be you.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Absolutely, and you know I broke my foot last year
so I've got to be extra carefulnow.
No sports, no more.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
No sports.
I need to get him insured.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
What's your business name going to be?
Well, I haven't got a name.
It's just part of this website,isn't it?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
But did you come up with like a sexy username.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I did.
I'm not going to tell youbecause you take the piss Brad's
Bunions.
Brad's Boils.
Oh, Brad's Verukas.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
No, no, absolutely not Kid, I don't have any of
those.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
That's why I'm going into the foot industry, because
I've got the goods All right.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Well, you heard it here first everyone, he's got
the goods.
He's saying up a foot businessand, genuinely, if you do have a
foot fetish or you know someonethat does, or maybe you've
dated somebody who has beeninterested in foot fetishes,
write in just to let us know.
We are super duper interestedin this and, as always, there is
zero judgment on this.
The only reason I'm laughing isbecause Brad's trying to start
off a business.
Taking pictures of his feet isjust iconic.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Hey Brad, oh hi, Benji Brad, what's on your mind?
Oh nothing, benji, justdaydreaming, I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
What are you daydreaming about this time?
A thicker hairline?
Not today.
Oh then what is it?
Speaker 1 (24:35):

It's time for the gay news.
Do you know what we will be?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
telling you today on the gay news with.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Benji and Brad, now Paul Castor.
If you listened to last week'sepisode, you will know that Brad
recently flew all the way toNew York and back again because
he won't shut up.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
But on the aeroplane.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
He discussed about how he didn't think it was fair
for other passengers when therewere small children on board who
obviously would just bescreaming up all night, etc.
Because they don't like beingon planes.
Why are you bringing on them?
And you said, brad, that youthought we should have like
aeroplanes that are just foradults.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Yeah, I agree.
Or like sections or whatever,and you pay an extra premium and
you know there's not going tobe a baby in sight.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Well, somebody heard the podcast and your wish has
very much been granted because,literally like the day after the
podcast episode came out, twoairlines have announced that
they are now doing adult onlyaeroplanes with child free zones
, so that quiet aeroplanesspecifically for people like you
that are miserable when theysee a child and they can have a
nice night's sleep on their wayto New York City.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I mean ask and you shall be given.
This is amazing news.
And also I love it that peopleactually screenshot this news
and send it in yeah, the podcastas well.
So they also saw the news.
Unfortunately, you know what?
I think Brad and Benji aregoing to really appreciate this
and we did, yeah, how amazing.
I will 100% be booking withthat.
I think that's such a good idea.
I think that's how it should be.
(27:06):
Anyway, as I said last week, Iwasn't trying to be like anti
children or you know.
I do understand that that'snext week's episode Exactly but
I do think it is quite selfishto put babies in confined spaces
, you know, unlike the tube andthe trains and things like.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah so this is amazing news.
It's so good and I totallyagree with you.
I'm 100% with you, but I doknow that sometimes they're just
you can't get around it, youhave to take the baby somewhere
to visit family, etc.
But this, what they've come upwith, is the best possible
outcome, because now we canchoose to go on a plane which
you are not allowed to bringyour child.
And then there are planes wherepeople don't mind Maybe it'll
(27:44):
be a little bit cheaper, I don'tknow and people can feel
comfortable knowing that they'vebrought their baby on a plane
and everyone knows that this isa plane.
The babies come on.
I think it is win win foreveryone.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Exactly that.
So if your baby wants to screamand cry, that's fine.
Your baby can do that.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
You realize the baby is crying, I do.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Does baby enjoy the theater Is?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
your baby, jocelyn.
But this baby is going to bedrinking a rose and watching
telly in the peace and quiet.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
That's cracking out my phone and get you everyone to
sing along to sweet Caroline.
More on that later.
One more quick thing.
So we've heard about the flightjourney, etc.
When you got off the plane thisis going to sound really random
, but I'm going with some morewith this what did the air
stewards actually say to you?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Right, see you later.
Nice to chat to you.
Have a great time in New Yorkso they didn't say anything else
.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
They didn't say things like cheerio.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
No, I told you, no one says cheerio.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Well, it is so weird that you should say this again,
really weird that all of thishappened in one episode last
week.
Somebody and that's somebodywho they actually are an air
steward that works for a very,very large airline, we should
say on the airplane themselves,they have slid into our DMs,
which we love, and have told usthat they have a code that they
(29:03):
say goodbye to people in acertain way to let other
stewards know that they fancythat person Right.
So if you're leaving theairplane and one of the air
stewards, ostrudacis, sayscheerio, that actually means
they fancy you and they'retrying to the other, a steward
and stewards of the stewardessis no that you, that they fancy
(29:24):
you so like cheeky airplane codeit's full-on like flirtatious,
yeah that is good to know forthe future, because if I'm
walking off the plane and Ifancy an, a steward, I might be
like, hey, cheerio.
I don't think you need to sayhey and cheerio.
I think it's just cheerio.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
But you could say cheerio with a bit of a wing of
a wing, yeah, and then he mightbe like, oh, cheerio.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
No, thank you so much for flying.
You have drunk us out ofminiature vodka.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
But yeah, so that's fun fact right that is a great
fact.
I love that.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
So if you have anyone traveling for work, be on full
alert for a very large Englishbased Airline company.
If they say cheerio to you whenyou leave, it means they fancy
you and on that note, podcastsway, you're not gonna confess
your undying love for me now.
No, I think you need to getover that.
(30:27):
That shit was very much sailedand sunk.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
All right, let it go, benji, you never guess where I
was this week.
I went back to the place thatwe met.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Not by choice.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I asked to sit the exact table where we looked into
each other's eyes and yourealize that my hairline was
fake.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Anyway, you interrupt to me while I'm singing my sign
