Go on, let it out. I can't do bosses like you
do. Here we are. Christmas patron. Merry Christmas.
It's Christmas time. Jingle bells, jingle bells.
There's a... The Winter Vale Festival is currently
going on in Wales, which is like Christmas time.
And there's a reindeer beast that you can tame
as a hunter. And there's a rare chance for one
to spawn with the red nose and all the fucking
decorations on it that you can tame. And you
can have double reindeers. It's only available
for this event. And I'm seeing lots of pictures
of little gnome hunters with these two fucking
big reindeers next to them with the red noses.
It looks very, very cool. Very, very interesting.
You've just reminded me that I need to download
Fortnite because on the 23rd they've got a Cyberpunk
crossover. Decent. You know me. Yeah, you have
to. I'll buy the Cyberpunk shit and then I'll
uninstall it because that's what I do. Because,
yeah, because you want all of the skins. I like
the skins, man. What's the... What's that fucking
Second Life thing that they're doing? What is
that? You see much on that? I haven't heard of
it. The Fortnite... Oh, fucking, what's it called?
Fortnite... Ballistic. I've got no fucking internet.
Fortnite Life or some shit. Is it not Fortnite
Ballistic? No, what's Fortnite Ballistic? It's

It sounds very cool. Not for the pedo side. No,
no, no. No, not for the pedo side. That was such
a terrible transition. No, no, no, no. Sounds
like a bingo haven. I'm very excited. It's locked
behind a paywall. Not in that fucking regards.
Sounds interesting is what I mean. Well, not
for me. A little bit of role play. You don't
want to be a sushi chef in fucking Lego Fortnite
meets life. Nah, bro. In bricks. If I can be
more cyberpunk characters, maybe. I mean, you
can in the Lego, so not all of them, but a lot
of your skins. Transfer over, bro. Yeah, so I
could be my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles skin
I bought. You can be a skeevo. The amount of
skins I've got on there that I've never used
just because I wanted them. Yep. I remember loading
£100 worth of real money on there. for the Marvel
and Star Wars stuff and I just spent it all on
shit. Crap. Rubbish. I see a video of Snoop Dogg
signing a kid's cast and he asked him if he had
his skin in Fortnite and he was like, no, I can't
afford it. And then he was like, 50 ,000 V -Bucks.
Right, he gave him 50 ,000. Yeah, yeah, he said
he'd sort it out. It was either 40 ,000 or 50
,000. Ridiculous. Giza. Kids is going to fucking
spunk that up the wall. Giza, Giza, Lemon Squeezer,
Ebenezer. Stupid, stupid. Don't get the cast
fucking signed. Get something better signed by
Snoop Dogg. For Christmas, we bought, who is
it? So it'd be, Gemma's step -mom's son. So I
guess step -brother. We bought him PlayStation,
PSN voucher is what you're wanting for Christmas.
Yep. He got that. We took it around Sunday. He
was like mega excited. I mean, I think he's like
12, 13. I don't know how old he is. He went sprinting
upstairs, came down, pitch our show and that's
what he bought. And he was mega excited because
he finally got to buy the pickaxe he wanted in
a fortnight. Crazy, right? Yeah, yeah. I just
think you could have bought a game. with that
money yeah yeah and you've gone and bought a
pickaxe I mean I could have gifted you V -Bucks
but for the excitement and how happy he was it's
a validation gift you know he's happy and that's
what matters but as an adult you're like you
could have bought a whole new experience of a
game yeah but they're not interested in that
Prince they're interested in Fortnite that's
how the world works unfortunately it is That's
how our minds work, if I'm honest. Yeah, I'm
a slag for microtransactions. I mean, let's have
it right. I was playing Path of Exile 2, and
I've done something I've never done before, and
I gifted two subs on Twitch just to get a pet.
And I installed it. And now I've reinstalled
it. There's a thing with, like, WoW streamers,
and there's one... What's his fucking name? It's
got an X and a Y in it. I don't fucking know.
Xavi, whatever his fucking name is. And he's
a good player and he's a good streamer. He's
a bit fucking annoying. You can tell he's got
a taste of the tism. And he's one of them where
you know people that get proper into shit. Like
what you're saying with anime. Like really, whatever
they're playing or doing, they love it. They're
all in on it. You know what I mean? Like someone
that loves Warhammer or D &D. No, no, because
I am. I'm all in on D &D. D &D. So I'm all in
on Baldur's Gate. So then I'm reading about it.
Yeah, no, I mean the extreme to the point where
you've got posters of it and you genuinely love.
The characters. No, no, you're not there. Oh,
I am. No, you ain't. Oh, I am. No, you know the
people that cosplay in Comic -Con as the anime
characters or whatever. I would do that if I
wasn't too lazy. I would have posters on my board
if I wasn't too lazy. Exactly. So you're not
the same because you're too lazy. These people
live and die for this shit. I'm talking about
those types of people. Why was I talking about
those types of people? Why was I doing that?
All right, yeah, no. This streamer is... not
kind of like that, but kind of like that at the
same time, where he finds shit funny about Wow
that you wouldn't, that just aren't funny, man,
unless you're like a full -on nerd. Leroy Jenkins.
Yeah, like that kind of shit. You'd be like rolling
on the floor laughing, that type of shit. It's
not funny, man. Let's grow up a little bit. And
basically the point of that is where I was getting
to. was that because he's a streamer, he gets
streamer privilege. So therefore, like the Spectral
Tiger mount that's worth fucking thousands of
actual real pounds, he got gifted that by someone.
And then all these like ultra rare things. But
then it's almost given that person a sense of
hierarchy from having shit that he did not fucking
earn himself. He's been gifted. You know what
I mean? So there's that. But he's a good player.
So he kind of balances out. Good player, but
you didn't earn it, so you don't deserve it.
That's been a taste in my mouth. And what's even
more annoying is that there's a Diablo thing
going on at the moment where fucking you can
get invincible in Diablo. What do you mean? The
mount. Invincible, which is a fucking mount that
everyone's after in WoW. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah.
They come out with Rafa the Lich King and it's
the Lich King's mount. It's his horse, basically.
Arthas Menethil. Menethil? Menethil? Fuck him.
He had a horse when he was growing up as a paladin
and he called it Invincible. And then one day
he was riding through a storm or whatever and
tried to jump a cliff and he made it, but Invincible
didn't. And Invincible was absolutely fucked
and subsequently died. And he was very, very
heartbroken by this. And when he turns into the
Lich King, he goes back and actually raises Invincible
back to life. And because he missed Invincible
so much, he's like, come back to me. I'd do the
same thing if Rue died. And I had the powers
to, if I turned into the Lich King, I'd go, right,
well, you're coming back. It'd be no different
if you died. I'd go, right, well, you're now
my ghoul. Don't bring me back, bro. I want to
rest, man. Tough. You're coming back. With your
bobble hat on. I find this interesting that you've
just named fucking, you know, Barry McGuigan
and his fucking undying horse. That's the first
time I've ever dropped law bombs. Right, no.
And this is why I find it interesting. Because
you don't, you know, you do. You say people's
names and you say things and what they are and
shit. But when I imagine you get excited for
an expansion, yeah? And you go... oh, I'm going
to fucking play this expansion and it's going
to be so good. And you do that. And I remember
when I was playing WoW, when I come on, I'm like,
am I supposed to be inviting you? Are we supposed
to be doing shit together? I don't know what
I'm supposed to be doing here. Or am I just playing
on my own? Like, New World was a prime example.
When people are coming on, should I be teaming
up with them? Should it be like, when I jump
on COD, when the boys are on, invite straight
away. We're on playing COD. Is that the same
for an MMO? Or are you just... doing it yourself
and what i'll say is because whenever i've played
wow with you obviously it's different you've
done it thousands of times but when a new expansion
comes out are you are you going to like all the
quests and characters and looking at their names
and listening to what they've got to say or you
just click click click click go and pick up the
herbs click click click click go and deliver
the herbs click click click click go to the dragon
click click click go to the tower are you actually
paying any attention or are you just clicking
your way through it uh most people including
myself got into a real bad habit of rushing so
therefore you weren't paying much attention when
an expansion first starts you do pay attention
a lot more because you're trying to work out
what the story is but like prime example a patch
has recently come out where it's added a new
zone and loads of other new shit and a legendary
ring that you can get that's meant to be like
the best ring and blah blah blah and I know full
well that I haven't played it yet because I just
haven't found the motivation to because i'm i'm
i'm at the moment a bit burnt out with wow and
this is sort of like just a filler patch which
i've done before and i had a going consensus
with a couple of people in the in the guild that
we're all sort of feeling the same where we don't
really give a fuck about it because it's it's
a filler um we're not interested we're waiting
for the next season to start um so i know that
when i do start playing that i'm just gonna fucking
click through everything because i'm ultimately
not interested in it nor does it fit in with
the expansion um so like this this patch is about
fucking goblins and a place called siren isles
where all the goblins are it doesn't fit into
the expansion that we're playing so therefore
a lot of people are like yeah it's got another
couple of mounts there so i want them and then
i'm done um and it's got catch -up gear and shit
so it's it's almost like a throwaway uh but When
I started playing with yourself and exercised
far more patience than I ever have before, which
I respect for the benefit of both of us, it made
me slow myself down and enjoy stuff quite a bit
more because what happens is FOMO kicks in very,
very quickly, especially with an MMO. And especially
if you're playing a DPS role, you're putting
yourself up against 95 % of the player base because
most people aren't playing a tank role or healing
role because they're a lot more work than a DPS
role. So you find that you skip through a lot
of shit so that you can get to the end game and
then fucking stay ahead of the curve, ahead of
everyone else. And yeah, that standard FOMO kicks
in because if you're like me where you're part
of Facebook groups, you're part of fucking Discord,
it pops up on your YouTube, on TikTok, on fucking
Instagram, you're seeing all this shit and you
go, I ain't done that yet, I ain't experienced
it. You're flooded with stuff, but you want to
get it done as quick as possible so that you're
no longer flooded with shit. You know what I
mean? You start a game that you know very, very
well. Destiny. Destiny 2, a new expansion comes
out for that or a new patch or whatever. Now
there's 20 different things that you need to
do. You're going to smash through those 20 fucking
things so that you don't have to do those 20
things. Yeah, I'd say the only difference is
that I'll listen to dialogue though. I'm not,
I don't play Destiny to be good at it. I play
it because I enjoy it. But the fun for Destiny
is you could be the best Destiny 2 player in
the world. I could be the worst, which probably
I am. I've got a platinum trophy, no biggie.
But, you know, that could be the scenario and
I could get a God roll drop for me and you couldn't.
And there's nothing you can do about that. It
is pure RNG. So the basis of, I've got something
that you haven't got, but it's not through achievement.
There is that in there, but I've got it just
through just playing the game. In hindsight,
it's quite ridiculous really rushing it all because,
Because everything's timed to a certain point
and you'd look at, so like when the war within
released. Brother, many of us and like myself,
very, very quickly, I had the whole campaign
done within two days, two, three days, everything
done. And then every single fucking quest in
the zones, done. i've done them all all the side
quests everything i just beelined all of that
because that's what i was that's what i was interested
in i was taking all of that in um and then it's
doing mythic plus and getting keystone master
or hero whatever and then doing the raid getting
ahead of the curve and you rush all of that because
you want it done asap and then you sit there
Now there's nothing else left to do. I've rinsed
everything. I've done what I wanted to do. Now
I can breathe and now I can relax. You go, I've
rinsed this game that I love so I can now stop
worrying about playing it, which is sort of like
the MMO brain. But when me and you were playing
and I had to slow myself right down for your
benefit so you could understand the game far
better, it sort of opened my eyes a little bit
in terms of... Taking that step back and just
relaxing and chilling and taking more shit in
and understanding more. And you do when you slow
yourself down, which is very tough to do when
you're involved with an MMO. So yeah, I think
I'm still in the realms of clicking through shit
and just fucking beelining. But playing with
you definitely made me... And playing with Steph
when we played ESO together. The bit that I really
wish that WoW had that it doesn't is voice acted
quest dialogue, which I know that on Classic
they're working on an add -on where it's AI,
which is unfortunate. But I mean, personally,
I don't give a fuck. I don't really care as long
as there's voice acting. I don't fucking care
if a computer's done it or if a real person's
done it. Shame for the voice actor that misses
out, but I'm sorry, I don't give a fuck. That's
just my personal preference. I do not care. Well,
it's either don't have it or do it with AI. If
they're not going to do it, they may as well
put it with AI. Yeah, do it with fucking AI.
But that out on hasn't made it to retail well
yet. But I feel like that would make, because
the quest dialogues, you don't bother reading
half of it. It's a lot of reading, isn't it?
It's a lot of reading. Whereas with ESO, it's
all completely voice acted. All of it. So if
you don't want to listen, then don't fucking
listen. But you almost feel obliged to because
it's far more interesting. But also someone's
been paid and actually learnt those lines and
read them. for that quest or whatever. And it
makes it far more interesting. So I would listen
more and keep in tune with it if it had that
in it. I just feel like you're missing out. I
feel like it takes away from the experience because
with Destiny 2, when a new expansion comes out...
I was excited being like, well, oh, what are
they going to do with Ikora? And that ended like
that. So Savathun is obviously going and she's
the witch queen and blah, blah, blah. And you've
got all this stuff. And I'm like excited to see
where the story goes. Whereas the way you play,
I can imagine it's just, what are the new mechanics?
What are the new loot? That's all I care about.
I'm not interested. You might see the cut scene
at the beginning and be like, oh, that's cool.
He was in the last cut. He was in the last expansion
and his name's John. but you don't have any affiliation
to character. You might have spoke to him 40
times throughout the quest, but not realise you
were talking to John because you're just clicking
through. No, it's not that bad. You still keep
in touch with the main story and know what's
going on. It's just the details to everything
is where you drop out. So the basics and the
actual story itself, you still keep in touch
with and know where you're going and what's happening.
But yeah, it's the details and the hidden stuff
is where you don't clock onto a lot of it. I
noticed that when I started reading the books,
that's where I got a lot of enjoyment because
you get that lore around. Connects a lot of dots.
A lot of dots. There's a dungeon called Escape
from Durnhold. and I hate it and everyone fucking
hates it it's a long ass dungeon with lots of
dialogue in it you can't fucking rush it and
to the point where if you're doing a random dungeon
and you join that people leave it's quite difficult
to keep a group there because it pops up and
people go I'd rather take the 30 minute debuff
and not be able to queue for another dungeon
for half an hour than fucking sit through this
shit I can't be arsed it's horrible however When
I read, I can't remember the title of the book,
but it's basically around this character Fraal,
who used to be the Warchief of the Horde and
is now like this great shaman and he's very prevalent
in the war within and has been through most of
WoW's history. And it's basically the book that
I read is all about him actually being captured
as an orc by the humans and enslaved and in his
whole race of people being enslaved. But he was
actually brought up by humans because humans
come in and slaughtered his family and took him
as a baby and then raised him as a gladiator
for their amusement. But he was obviously very
fucking good because he's one massive fucking
orc. He's a very good story, it sounds like.
He's huge. And then all he has from his memories
of... All he has to know that he is from an orcish
clan is this little cloth with... It's called
the Frostwolf clan. And it's got that emblem
on it, on this little bit of cloth. because obviously
he doesn't know that he's an orc. I'm talking
like he was a baby when he was taken. And then,
yeah, he discovers, like, obviously there's other
orcs. And then basically the way the book is,
is that he manages to escape Durnhold, this big
prison, basically, or like this big human settlement,
capital, whatever, and escape it and find...
his original clan and the current leader of that
clan is a shaman who's obviously in tune with
the elements and stuff like that and then um
frow ends up becoming a shaman from that because
he's also in tune with the elements it's a very
mystical power that not every orc is is is accustomed
to he then ends up becoming the fucking war chief
for the entire race of orcs so he's gone from
this orc that was originally brought up as a
human and an absolute outsider to all the other
orcs, because all they see was him fighting for
humans, to then being taken in by them and then
leading them. And that's in the book, how he
escapes that prison. So it brings another bit
of lore to the dungeon, and you understand why
you're playing this dungeon, why there's that
dialogue, and you recognise all the names of
the people that's in the dungeon. And it turns
it from an extremely... boring experience to
a very fun dungeon because you know the fucking
lore behind it 100 % you've read the books and
you go oh fuck and I remember first playing it
after I'd read the book and I was and I remember
saying to the people that were in the dungeon
with me when they were complaining about it and
I was like if you read the book this is actually
a really cool dungeon and that's what I think
i need to do to get more invested in it is to
to read the books of which i've got fucking loads
of them not just that i think just watching youtube
videos of law laws it's such a it's such a great
way to unwind as a geezer i watch think his name
is mr rex uh mr rex and he he does dnd stuff
so we'll do like If you go on his channel and
you just want to watch anything about D &D, he'll
have an entire video about the owlbear, for example,
which you know very well. I know the owlbear
very well. Killed twice now by an owlbear. So
he'll go into the owlbear, but he'll go like,
he won't just have like, he'll have the monster
manual, Manuel, manual, whatever it is. He's
got all the different, so Connor, I don't know
if you know this, you probably do, he'll have
a monster manual and he'll open it and in the
book it'll be Albert and it'll have its strength,
it's fucking, it's... Well, Connor knows everything
because he's fucking perfect, isn't he? He's
got, he'll have his book and it'll say it's AC,
it'll say it's fucking, it'll say everything,
all its abilities, passives. Absolutely everything
about the creature. So that's where he'll pull
the information from for when he's fighting us.
He might change the stats accordingly, how he
pleases, but that is the base. He definitely
changes the stats, otherwise we'd all be dead.
The base guideline for each monster. But when
you go and watch Mr. X, for example, say there's
the owlbear, he'll go into that and he'll go
through all the stats and everything about it.
And then he'll go through the history where it
shows up in lore, why it's so powerful. Then
he'll do like a digital mock -up of it. different
beasts and fighting other monsters in D &D and
that is the most interesting it's so interesting
I don't know why because it's not real but it's
just it makes because you want to know yeah and
I do and then obviously I've been reading D &D
books now for well over a year I'm still only
four books into the fucking 40 book series or
whatever it is and I read the Spider Queen series
which was like six books I banged them out in
like three months or something But then when
I'm playing Dungeons & Dragons or Baldur's Gate
more prevalently, whenever I hear the mention
of, I don't know, a god or something, that's
the god of this person. I'll remember that in
the books. Or when I'm listening to the podcast,
Hello High Rollers, they're going through the
nine layers of hell. And there's so many characters
in there that... I've heard of from Baldur's
Gate or I've read in the books or I've heard
when we've been playing D &D. And when you get
that little twing, that connection that you can
connect between two things, it's a buzz. It feels
really cool. It's a buzz. You feel like you know,
you know that character personally and you feel
smart as well. Yeah, eventually I will get through
the, because there's 64 WoW books and then a
couple of other little spin -off things and then
graphic novels alongside that. And I think I've
got maybe like 20 of the books that I would need.
And my issue with it is trying to figure out
the best way to read them because you can read
them canonically. So fucking... Or chronologically.
Or chronologically. But there's loads of different
ways. You could either be absolutely fucking
normal. and go, I like the look of that book,
so I'm going to read that one, and then I'm going
to read this one, and then that one, and then
this one. Or you can be total fucking nerd and
give yourself a massive headache, and then go,
right, I'm going to read them how they are set
in the story, which is therefore you go, you
read that one, and then you must read this one,
but that one, and then this one, and that one
connects to that one. That's exactly what I'm
doing. Or you read them how... I'm reading them
and that is this one released first and then
this one and then this one and then this one
so I'm going to read them like that because that's
the one that makes the most sense to me which
however I'm now and I know I'll move to I have
all of these books so I'm just going to read
all of these and then just look at the ones I
haven't got and look at the ones that I like
and then fucking read them and then eventually
I will have I will have read them all because
it's it's so They basically, they made, so like
the first three, no, the first eight books, they
split them into twos. So the first three books
are in one. The first three stories are in one
big book, in one chronicle. And then the same
with the next, I think the next four and so on.
So it's like if you wanted to read them in actual
proper order that you're supposed to by law.
where you've got three books in one, but I only
need to read the third one. And then I need to
skip all the way to like book number 12 and then
come back to book seven. But book seven is actually
fucking mixed in with book four, five, six. And
then it just becomes a fucking mess. And as you
know, ADHD kicked in very fucking heavy. And
if Steph didn't stop me, I would have ended up
buying every single fucking book. Because I remember
saying to her, I was like, I can't read these
until I've got all of them. I need to get every
single one in my collection and then I can start
reading them, which was ridiculous. And Steph
was like, why don't you see if you like reading
first before you buy 64 books? And I was like,
yeah, maybe that's a good idea. So I stopped
at like number 20. And yeah, I've been pilfering
through them. Like I said, I was reading. I haven't
read for a very long time, a good couple of months,
but I've got the Lich King book in the van and
I've got, I need to start. the third book in
the series, which is, they're all packed away
now because we're fucking moving. But yeah, 100%.
When you love a game a lot and you play it a
lot, when you start reading the lore around that,
makes it so much more enjoyable. And that's why
them series of books plus the Spider Queen, which
I read, which is all about the drow, which is
what I'm playing, D &D, and the world that they
live in under the earth. And now I'm reading
about a drow called Driz Dwarden, who is the
most famous out of any character in Dungeons
& Dragons. Connor actually put me onto it. But
yeah, they're talking about making films out
of this shit. And this has been going on for
like 20, 30 years, these books. Now I'm onto
that. It's like, I'm obsessed with drow. They're
like my favourite race in any fucking game ever.
Whenever I get a chance to play as a drow or
be a drow or read about a drow, I will. And I've
got the, I've got some, I've got a couple of
action figures, of course I have. I've got the
Golden Archives, Drizzy Worden, and then I've
got, I realised I didn't get the one that comes
with his panthers, and then I had to buy the
special edition. And when I was going through,
Gem wanted to know what I wanted for Christmas,
and I'd just give up. I was just like, look.
Just anything D &D. I don't care what it is.
Little figures, fucking big figures, fucking
dice, cups, whatever. Just give me some D &D
shit and I'll be happy. I don't care how big
or small it is, even if it's a fiver, key ring,
whatever. And then she had a parcel turn up the
other day and she was like happy and then she
become devastated. And I was like, what's the
matter? She said, the box is damaged. And I was
like, oh, no. She was like, I said, don't worry
about it. She was like, no, because I know you
don't like damaged boxes. You keep them all in
the fucking boxes. I was like, yeah, don't worry
about it. It's fine. I was like, well, how damaged
is it? It can't be that bad. She was like, I
can't show you because then you know what it
is. I said, don't worry about it. Just show me
the side of it. Just a little bit of it. So she
showed me the side. And from the side of the
box, I instantly knew. I said, is it? That's
not that one up there, is it? She went, cunt.
What was it? It's just my Drist figure that I'd
already got on the fucking mantelpiece above
the telly. So she had to send that back, but
it was fucked anyway. But then I was putting
some washing away the other day and there was
another parcel that was just slightly covered
over. And as I walked in with the washing basket,
I knocked it and it come unwrapped. Fucking loads
of little D &D minifigures, aren't I? Little
Drizzt minifigures and shit, bro. Yeah, I'm eating
well on D &D. Does she know that you've seen
them? Yeah, I told her. Oh. I told her. I probably
shouldn't. She got angry, but shouldn't have
left it out, bro. You know what I mean? It's
just sitting there. Don't leave shit out. Exactly,
exactly. So, yeah, my house is a fucking mess
at the moment. I've got to go down a dump tomorrow.
I booked that slot up. Got to take a bed down
there. We've got no bed now. We've literally
just dismantled the bed. Why? I take it you've
got another one coming. No, no. I live on the
sofa. Kids are having that room. We're having
no room, which is great. So that's fantastic.
Basically, for Christmas, Evelyn's heavily into
gymnastics and she's gone from level eight to
level four in months, which is obviously a lot
of levels. It goes down to one. and she wanted
gymnastic stuff for Christmas, so we've got a
gymnastic bar, which is obviously massive, and
gymnastic mats, and there's just not enough,
you've been in mine, there's not enough room
in their bedroom, it's thin, it's small, so now
they're having our bedroom. Yeah, I can't imagine
there's enough room for a whole gymnastics fucking
set up. So they're having, or she's having that
stuff in our bedroom, and their beds are going
in there. And their room now is just going to
be like a fucking wardrobe room and shit. And
we're just going to live on the sofa. It's just
the way it is, bruh. So yeah, I'm going to take
the fucking bed down to the dump and all the
other shit. So whilst I'm excited I broke up
for Christmas, my work is not yet done. But I
will be. Having an exciting evening tonight because
I'm going to be playing computer games. I'm going
to be watching stuff on telly. I'm going to be
eating loads of shit. You're in Christmas mode.
I'm fucking activated, bro. I'm going to be playing
Bellatro, Slay the Spire, Baldur's Gate, Path
of Exile. I'm going to probably do none of them
things until very late. I'm going to wake up
really tired and pissed off and then have to
go dump. I'm going for a run. I pooed on the
floor again today. i had to yeah go on fucking
why not we might as well close off for that go
on i need a poo i walked really far and then
where i was certain things were still coming
um and they would still see me if they just looked
down yeah so i had to put my jacket over my knees
so i just looked like a crouching human with
an orange kilt but i was shitting everywhere
and when i when i shit i mean You know when you
shit and you release it and it goes... Yeah,
yeah, yeah. When I shit, it went... Proper exploded
out. Just exploded like a spud gun. Fucking...
Was it solid consistency? No, it was a mulchy
mess. Yeah, yeah. And then I found out why I
push my willy backwards. Yeah. When I'm pissing.
Because when you crouch like this... Yep. And
you're shitting... Yeah. You can't, because my
knob's back here, bro. My knob's not down here
dangling. My knob's here, so I can't piss over
my clothes. So yeah, that's why you have to push
your knob backwards. Right, okay, I understand,
I understand. And I took your advice and I shit
in a van the other day and I thought, fuck it,
and I pissed in the bag. Yep. How did that go?
Perfectly. No urine leaked, but I was nervous.
Because it's a bag. Are you using them grey bags
still? Is it the grey bags? I use big black bags.
Oh, I take bin bags in from home. Oh, right.
You ain't got them grey bags that they give.
No, I just use bin bags and toilet paper. I was
just saying, because the grey bags are fucking
thick, so ain't nothing coming through. No, this
is just your bog -standard bin bag. Yeah, nothing's
going to... Yeah, you can piss in that, it's
fine. Yeah, but if there's even a tiny little
bubby hole in there, it's going to come out.
Yeah. And it's just going to leak everywhere.
But also, the things that might see you... Would
only see you a brief moment, but I know exactly
what you mean because nothing's gonna happen
They can't access where you are so nothing's
gonna happen because you have it when you're
pissing as well It's in case the fucker at the
front There's nothing I can do to stop that.
No, I think you guys have become comfortable
with doing it and that's why you do it. It's
because you know that you can. It's no different
to the love jug in the back. At first, when you
first mention the love jug, everyone's like,
why would you do that? Love jug, by the way,
is pissing in a bottle, right? Or why did we
used to use a jug? Why didn't we just use a bottle
and then just pour that? Why did we all piss
in a jug and then... fling the jug out. It's
just my thing, wasn't it? I just always had the
jug because it was for weed. Yeah, but then everyone,
exactly. And then you'd fill it up with chemical
and then, boop, boop, boop. Dirty, ridiculous.
To the point where when I was over with you and
I had my own love jug in my own van and because
everyone used it and it got battered, that jug
ended up having a crack all the way down the
bottom of it. Still used it. Just used it at
an angle. And every now and then they would let
the piss drip out onto the people's kit that
I don't like. Andrew, if you're listening to
this, this is what they do over on that side.
I know that we're going for that and blah, blah,
blah, but this is what you'll have to deal with.
It's prevalent pooing out in the open. If you've
got to go, you've got to go. We're not blessed
with toilets. When you get older... your bowels
will start to slip. This happened overnight.
All of a sudden, I started shitting and needing
a shit. I never used to fucking, I used to be
able to suck it up. I used to be able to hold
it in. I remember when someone would work with
Owen, old geezer, fucking ex -addict, all right?
So his body's fucked, yeah. I really like him,
northern lad. And I remember one time I went
there, But I heard the story that he had a bad
stomach one day and had the shits. And you know
how when you're walking along, sometimes you
have that big concrete wall where you've got
the top bit, concrete wall, and then another
section and then fence. Yeah, so you do those
three strips naturally. And I think it was all
the lads were on the top bit and they were like,
well, where's Owen gone? And then popped their
head over and then just see Orange down the bottom
crouching. And yeah, he was squirting shit. Down
that bit. Just squirting a turnout. That happened
to Jimmy, didn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He shit
in the back of the van. He was in there ages.
Yeah. I was like, you all right? And then he
got out and he had shit on his head. Yeah. He
was sweating. He rubbed it over his head. He
fell over. Did he? That's what it was. As far
as I was aware, he was shit. I think he was shitting
in the back of the van and I think the light
switched off and then he tripped over and then
got shit all up his arm and all over it. He said
he was so ill. Yeah, yeah, he weren't good. That's
just a mess. We'll leave you with all of that.
Dry leaves I use, by the way. Dry leaves and
wet leaves. A combination of both. Are you not
worried about getting an infection in your arsehole?
There's nothing I can do. What do I do? Leave
shit there? Have you not got wipes with you?
You carry a bag, don't you? No, I don't. But
where do you have all your shit, all your stuff?
I put it in another geezer's bag. I only put
my tablet in there. I don't need anything else.
What, you haven't got like a first aid kit and
shit in there? Yeah, but that stays with the
site. Yeah, but it should also be in the bag,
no? Yeah, that's... But then just carry a bag
with toilet roll and shit. That's what I used
to do. And I never got caught short because I
would never do it. But if I ever did get caught
short to the point where I knew one day it may
happen and I used to carry toilet roll with me,
I've still got to roll in the van. The trouble
is, I can't carry my bag because it's got my
Kindle in it. If I leave my Kindle in the van,
the van gets broken into and I'm going to steal
my Kindle. If I take it outside, it's going to
get broken. Why would it get broken? It's on
site. Just move your bag out of the way. Because
people don't know what's in your shit, man. So
if I'm throwing shit about and then they just
fucking pick my bag up and throw it somewhere
or anything, no, people can tread on it. You
know what I mean? Lad, it's mine, the fucking
site bag. It's got my Kindle in it. Yeah, I just
wouldn't say that because I don't trust people.
Shit happens. Well, there you go. A little insight.
Before we go, special Merry Christmas to Sam
and your boy. Carl. How special. Special mention
to them, boys. Nice one, lads. What for? Merry
Christmas. Merry Christmas to them. Oh, fuck
everyone else. No, I'm about to get to them.
But we know most of the other people. So they're
very special to us. They are. I agree. We love
you and I hope you and your families have fantastic
Christmases and you get to play loads of computer
games and you don't get caught short and you
don't have to shit somewhere you don't want to
shit. That's my message and if you want to follow
in my footsteps, my New Year's resolution is
I'm going to stop swearing. Fucking funny that,
isn't it? We'll see. Is that what that is? Is
that genuinely your New Year's resolution? Yeah.
You're going to stop swearing? Why not? Give
it a go. I give you 20 minutes? Less than that
probably. 20 minutes. Yeah, but it's one thing
stopping. It's another thing trying. I'm going
to try and stop at least not so fucking much.
This is what's going to happen. Because it's
potty mouth. New Year's is going to happen. Midnight's
going to strike. All the fireworks are going
to happen. You're going to want to be asleep
and the fireworks are going to keep you up and
you'll wake up and you go, will they fucking
stop the fireworks? Done. No. New Year's resolution
is over. No. No, you're under a state of power.
All right, we'll ask you then. In 2025, I'll
ask you how it's going. And I'll say, fucking
incredible. It's great. You go, oh, whoopsie
daisy. What a load of bollocks. Yeah, Merry Christmas,
everyone. I hope you all have a lovely, absolute
time. Merry Christmas, Steph. Thank you for the
support. Connor, Daryl. Daryl. Is Mark still
there? Mark is still here. Hold on. Mark. Hold
on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on. Hold
on. Where is it? Fucking, because I can see.
I can see, I can see. No, I can't because I've
got no fucking squiffy whiffy. Spider pig. I
just wanted to see the members. Whatever a spider
pig does. Spins a whip. No, we can't. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Steph. Merry Christmas, Lucy.
Mark. Connor. Daryl. Sam. Kyle. Myself. You.
Don't tell people we sub to ourselves. Andrew.
other Connor, Brandon, Nathan. I don't think
I've, it's only a small list. I think that might
be it. I really apologise if I've missed anyone
off. Genuinely. I don't think I have. Did you
say Roman? Roman. Roman. There you go. There
you go. Where is the, I can't find the thing.
There you go. I saw that there. Genuinely appreciate
every single one of you guys. Very much so. You
keep us going. You keep us fucking floating and
you keep us wanting to do it. Because without
your pennies, and I mean fucking pennies, you
cunts, we wouldn't bother. We've got to a point
now where we feel that we're trapped and we have
to get something out every week. We're obligated
at this point and it's doing my fucking head
in. Yeah. Thanks, everyone. See you later. Merry
Christmas. Ooroo. Ooroo.
