1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
We've started haven't ya?

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Hello.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,000
We're back.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:19,400
Start off with some huge apologies for no episode last week.

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:20,400
Yeah.

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,360
Probably should have, I was thinking about it on the way here, we probably should have

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,320
released like a Patreon episode.

8
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,320
We did.

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,920
I mean, released a Patreon episode just to upload something, a previous one that we'd

10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:32,920
just done or something.

11
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:33,920
Oh, I see what you mean.

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,160
So we had something really bad that we've missed a week now.

13
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:42,360
It's made me feel sad, but you know, life gets in the way sometimes and that's just

14
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:43,760
what happened unfortunately.

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,400
So massive apologies for that.

16
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,520
But we're back and that is the way the cookie crumbles, but it's fine.

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,520
It's okay.

18
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,520
We're here.

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,320
We didn't really want to do an episode in between of, like, because obviously we've

20
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,720
just done the Star Wars celebration.

21
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:01,160
So I didn't want to have an episode of not talking about that because I just didn't know

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,160
what to talk about.

23
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,480
I feel like this is going to fill the episode.

24
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:06,480
Yes.

25
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,800
Ash hasn't recovered.

26
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,880
I haven't recovered.

27
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,120
From our one day stint.

28
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,600
Very, very tiring.

29
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,840
A lot of walking.

30
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,920
Maybe just my excitement is what mentally drained me.

31
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,280
He was like a fucking, the ADHD was there.

32
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:31,080
It was shining brightly because he's fucking screaming out in these crowds.

33
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,080
It was embarrassing.

34
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:37,960
We're all in a queue, hurried up like beasts.

35
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:43,040
And then they're letting a couple of the queues in and they're obviously excited.

36
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,880
They're screaming, they're running in with their lightsabers aloft.

37
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:51,200
They're saying, stop running over the megaphones.

38
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,120
But then you've got another guy bowling around the front of the queues.

39
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,400
How long have you waited for this?

40
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,720
You're so close, you can almost taste it.

41
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,120
He's waving his arms around.

42
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,080
He's like, you've been waiting for this.

43
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,280
Like fucking running into a war.

44
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,280
This is what you want.

45
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,200
It was like Braveheart giving his pre-war speech.

46
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,200
How can we not scream?

47
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,200
How can we not scream?

48
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,200
You just told us not to run.

49
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,840
Telling people to just casually walk inside after you've just been gassing them up and

50
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,320
then release them.

51
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,580
It's absolute bollocks.

52
00:02:18,580 --> 00:02:19,580
It was great.

53
00:02:19,580 --> 00:02:20,580
It was a fantastic day.

54
00:02:20,580 --> 00:02:21,580
I had a great time.

55
00:02:21,580 --> 00:02:22,580
Oh, it was so good.

56
00:02:22,580 --> 00:02:24,600
Yeah, I still feel it though.

57
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,920
I still feel pain.

58
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:31,880
There's a lot of walking and I'm not an old man, but I'm a broken man.

59
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,200
So standing up for too long hurts my back.

60
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,200
I was tired, man.

61
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,200
When we got home, I was tired.

62
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,240
It was a fucking tiring day, wasn't it?

63
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,240
There was a lot.

64
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:45,520
I don't know if anyone's listening that's been to the XL in London, but it's like a

65
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,520
shopping center, isn't it?

66
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,520
It's a weird place.

67
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:52,360
Yeah, that's why I described it as like a shopping precinct that you walk through in

68
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,080
a straight line and loads of warehouses attached to it.

69
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:00,640
Yeah, and then the celebrations was in them warehouses, but I don't know how many times

70
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:03,960
we walked up and down the length of that fucking place, but it was a lot.

71
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,440
It was a hell of a lot.

72
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,800
Yeah, no real goal.

73
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,080
We're just bowling around looking at stuff.

74
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,760
But yeah, it was tiring.

75
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:16,160
I ended up managing to take home a nice migraine with me, one which I haven't had for quite

76
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,160
a while.

77
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,400
I moaned about my head hurting for quite some time and when I got home, it just combusted

78
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,840
and I was like, this is a fully fledged migraine.

79
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,840
This is death.

80
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,320
Yeah, so I must sleep.

81
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,320
Yeah, it was a struggle.

82
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,520
And yeah, I'm still recovering, man.

83
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,600
I was in bed early the night after and the night after.

84
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,600
They fuck you up, man.

85
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,600
They fuck you up.

86
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,120
They call it an aura after you have the actual migraine and you're still fucked.

87
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,360
Yeah, that's probably what it is.

88
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,360
I'm still feeling it, bro.

89
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,360
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they can last for a while.

90
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,560
So yeah, I still feel a little bit, my whole body's aching and stuff.

91
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,880
I don't feel unwell, but I just feel like bleh.

92
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:57,240
I feel like I wanted to do more days, but I don't think I could physically do it or

93
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,240
financially.

94
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,720
I don't think either of them things were viable.

95
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,920
The only way I could financially do it is if the spending that we done on the first

96
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,720
day, that was like, we'll set one day out for spending and then the rest is just, you

97
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,720
know, looking at stuff.

98
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,760
I'll throw a quick spoiler out there.

99
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,320
I think that between the two of us, we spent nearly a grand.

100
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,120
It was silly money.

101
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,240
It was too much money.

102
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,720
We shouldn't be allowed.

103
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,520
It's too much money that has led to spending even more money.

104
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,000
Yeah, same with me as well.

105
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
We're going to talk about that.

106
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,360
We're going to talk about that.

107
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,440
It's so much.

108
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:44,880
I told you on the day that I am, it's something about my financial sensibility where I am

109
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,640
very astute with my money.

110
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:47,880
I won't spend money.

111
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:55,800
But as soon as I start spending money, it just pisses out everywhere.

112
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:01,280
Up to like maybe an hour and a half before we left, I'd only spent 25 quid.

113
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:10,120
And then boom, 330 quid later in one stall.

114
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,120
And that's continued.

115
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,720
That's carried on.

116
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:13,720
I'm exactly the same.

117
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:14,720
I've got a spending hangover.

118
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,720
I'm exactly the same.

119
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,760
So I don't know if anyone else is like that.

120
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:20,760
But yeah, I'm pretty astute.

121
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,800
Well, look at us with Pokemon cards.

122
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:23,800
Fuck me.

123
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,960
I bought a couple of packs the other week, but I ain't spent that much on Pokemon.

124
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:29,960
Fuck me.

125
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:30,960
It went nutty, didn't it?

126
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:31,960
It went nutty.

127
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,560
So, I don't know where to start.

128
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:40,440
We went, we arrived, we picked a spot to bark at and the day started off terribly because

129
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,880
the parking machine wasn't working and the website was down.

130
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,320
The phone number weren't working.

131
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,360
Weren't sure we was in the right place till a stormtrooper walked past.

132
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,000
I reckon we're in the right gaffe.

133
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000
We were here.

134
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
We were here.

135
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000
We were here.

136
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,880
But yeah, the hotel that we were attached to, there's a hotel attached to the XL and

137
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,480
we spoke to a couple because they were struggling.

138
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,520
It looked like they were struggling to pay for parking as well.

139
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:04,960
And I was like, oh, what are you lot doing?

140
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,960
And they're like, oh, we're just going to go in the hotel.

141
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:07,960
You can pay for it in there.

142
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:08,960
We went, all right, sweet.

143
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,760
So we went in there, bowled up to the front desk and went, oh, we just want to pay for

144
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:14,760
the parking, mate.

145
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,240
And he was like, oh, how long are you here for?

146
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,160
I said, oh, fucking, I said all day, but let's just pay for the 24 hours.

147
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,800
And he was like, what's your reg?

148
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,000
I give him the reg and he was like, you're done, mate.

149
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,800
I went, what, you don't want to pay for anything?

150
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:27,800
He's like, no, no, you're all right.

151
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:28,800
You're on the system.

152
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:34,160
Now, I don't know if he did that because he was scared, because he was a small person

153
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,280
or if it was just what they were doing for that day because there was a fucking queue

154
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:39,280
behind us.

155
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:41,760
Now, if they were all like, you know what I mean?

156
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,760
Were they getting in for free or was he going, yeah, that's 50 quid, please?

157
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,840
I think we're just lucky that we were the first to ask.

158
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:53,160
So he probably thought we was going to be like an enigma.

159
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,400
We was just going to be a one and done, but little did he know that it's just going to

160
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,880
be floods of people going in there going, the machine's not working.

161
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,200
Maybe it's because we was wearing the What's the Buttons t-shirt.

162
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,200
So we looked semi-important.

163
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,200
Oh, they're celebrities.

164
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,200
I don't know them, but they're famous.

165
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:13,240
Can I just quickly say that, yes, we wore our What's the Buttons t-shirts and they went

166
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,680
down a storm.

167
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,560
Someone took a picture of Ash with his t-shirt.

168
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,560
It's like a fucking celebrity.

169
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,080
It was so strange to watch.

170
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,080
It was so odd.

171
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:29,800
Yeah, we had quite a few people stop us and I see a lot of people like murmuring in my

172
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:30,800
peripheral.

173
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,800
It was weird, man.

174
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,160
It's like that awkward thing.

175
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,560
You know when you see someone that you recognise from TV, but you can't remember who they are

176
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:38,560
or what their name is.

177
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:39,560
I fucking know him.

178
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,560
I know him.

179
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,880
They're doing that, but just presuming we're celebrities because we've got matching, clearly,

180
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:45,880
merchandise things.

181
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:46,880
Yeah, we're not.

182
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:53,040
It's clearly us because I look basically the same as the avatar that's created, as does

183
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,040
Reece.

184
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,040
I am also wearing a baseball cap.

185
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,400
He is also wearing a wooly hat.

186
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,920
We essentially look exactly the same.

187
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,360
Yeah, it's great.

188
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,080
So yeah, it was fairly obvious it was us.

189
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,240
There are people looking, thinking they're celebrities, but I don't know who they are

190
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,240
celebrities.

191
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,240
It worked.

192
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,240
It worked.

193
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,240
It was cool.

194
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,240
It was a good little feint that we'd done.

195
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,240
It was good.

196
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,240
It was a bob and a weave.

197
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,240
It was a bob and a weave.

198
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,240
I liked it.

199
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,240
But yeah, it was great.

200
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,240
We turned up.

201
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,240
We jumped the...

202
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,240
We didn't jump the train.

203
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,240
We jumped on a train.

204
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,080
I taught Reece how to tap in and out with his bank card.

205
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,560
I don't get public transport like trains and stuff.

206
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,640
I'm so blind to it.

207
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,640
So we got there.

208
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,640
We come off.

209
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,640
And I was going, Star Wars Celebration this way.

210
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,640
It was a little Boba Fett who was telling his mum that we were famous.

211
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,280
I was like, we're not kiddo, but not yet anyway.

212
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,640
Let's hope we don't get famous because that's not for me.

213
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,920
But nevertheless, yeah, shouting Star Wars Celebration this way.

214
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,460
We went there.

215
00:08:52,460 --> 00:08:53,640
We queued.

216
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,120
And then that was it for the whole day.

217
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,120
We just queued.

218
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,120
The whole day we were just queuing.

219
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,960
Queues, queues, queues, and even more queues.

220
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:02,600
Yeah, we went through a metal detector, didn't we?

221
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,600
We were...

222
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:04,600
You got snagged.

223
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:05,600
This is what happened.

224
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,200
I had the bag on me because I figured I didn't want to wear the bag because obviously it

225
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,080
covers the entire logo of what's the buttons.

226
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,960
But I thought, no, let's be smart here because realistically, Ash is going to have it on

227
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,280
show and someone needs to have a fucking bag.

228
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:25,200
So I took the bag with me and then, yeah, just before we entered, there's security.

229
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,680
And naturally, they check your bag.

230
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:34,640
On the desk, there's a laminated sheet of the prohibited items, two of which are battery

231
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,200
packs and e-cigarettes.

232
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,200
You took a greengrocer's with you.

233
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,000
Of which I had both in the bag, right?

234
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,160
So I put my bag on the desk and then the guy just stared at me.

235
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,280
I was like, all right, I'll start getting shit out then.

236
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,440
Now I knew that these items were prohibited.

237
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,800
So I just left them in the bag, pulled out my hoodie and then started waving a banana

238
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:58,800
in his face.

239
00:09:58,800 --> 00:09:59,800
And that seemed to confuse him.

240
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,120
And he sent me on my way.

241
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,120
It confused me.

242
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,880
Look around, I'm just waving a banana in this security guy's face.

243
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,160
Banana, punnet of fucking grapes and strawberries.

244
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,760
That took some fruit with me.

245
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,360
I didn't know what the crack was.

246
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,600
A random onion.

247
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,040
It was ridiculous that we thought that there was only going to be one shop in there.

248
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,040
There was some green stuff.

249
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,240
The entire thing was fucking shops.

250
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,240
Milk shakes.

251
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,680
In this celebration, it was all fucking stalls selling shit.

252
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:24,680
Harry Bow.

253
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:28,440
I just want to point out the first store that we went to was selling Assassin's Creed merchandise.

254
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:29,680
It really threw me off guard.

255
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:32,680
A dead goldfish.

256
00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:38,280
Yeah, we're not in yet.

257
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,280
So he's gone through the metal detector.

258
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,160
I'm just standing there watching because, you know, I got in scot-free.

259
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,160
I'm waving my banana.

260
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,480
Yeah, I'm thinking, why is he waving a banana?

261
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,960
Someone else is waving light savers.

262
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,640
Wave waving a bunch of bananas.

263
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,120
So we don't know how we're getting in.

264
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,560
So we're just like, is this the entrance?

265
00:10:57,560 --> 00:10:58,560
Are we done?

266
00:10:58,560 --> 00:10:59,560
Are we in now?

267
00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:05,560
We walked into a fuck-off big warehouse with loads of little fencing put up.

268
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:06,560
Fucking huge warehouse.

269
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:07,560
I've never seen anything like it.

270
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:08,560
Yeah, it was big.

271
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:09,560
It was fucking massive.

272
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:12,120
I know a guy who's in a box there.

273
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:17,600
And he said he boxed so late that there were sweepers coming out last year.

274
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,680
Anyway, nevertheless, we got us down to the end.

275
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:27,560
But we didn't know whether we was going to be at the end end or if there was four or

276
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:30,880
five rows in front of us or to the side of us.

277
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,280
How are they going to let people in?

278
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,280
But yeah, soon filled up.

279
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,520
We sat about for or stood about for about an hour and a half or so.

280
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,640
And then yeah, the floodgates opened and we were in.

281
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,520
And we didn't know what to do because there's no light.

282
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,560
All these people going in screaming, but we don't know what they're seeing.

283
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:46,560
What is it they're looking at?

284
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:47,760
What are they going to?

285
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:48,760
There's no fucking signs.

286
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:49,760
None of it makes sense.

287
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,060
I was pointing out there's there's no one saying down this way, down this way, you fucking

288
00:11:54,060 --> 00:11:58,200
sweaty nerds, you fat bricks, come down here and spend your money.

289
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,200
There's no one doing that.

290
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,360
Everyone's just running in a direction.

291
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,400
Yeah, but these people probably have been to these things before.

292
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,560
So I have an understanding.

293
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:07,000
We're just sweaty bitches.

294
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,760
We're just running around looking at shit, not really knowing what's going on.

295
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:16,080
So we stumbled upon the first thing we stumbled upon was the official merchandise store.

296
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,480
So we banged ourselves straight in that queue.

297
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,480
We got in a queue.

298
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:20,760
We started speaking to a guy called Jeff.

299
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,080
His name wasn't Jeff, but we named him Jeff just because we never got his name and he

300
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,160
looked like Jeff.

301
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,160
Great guy.

302
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,040
He fixed, he fixes F15s.

303
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,040
American Air Force.

304
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,560
For the American Air Force.

305
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:34,920
He's also going to a Pokemon event this weekend there.

306
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:35,920
So shout out Jeff.

307
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,120
I believe so if he's listening.

308
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,480
Very, very surreal experience.

309
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,440
He's a very nice guy.

310
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,480
But I can't even remember that he had an accent.

311
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:49,480
I know he did.

312
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:50,480
He was definitely American.

313
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,280
But I just can't remember it.

314
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,200
But he, we were talking about Funkos.

315
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,720
We were showing him, he was showing us his Funko collection worth 25 grand.

316
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,160
Yeah, he had over 500 Funko Pops.

317
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,720
Fucking loads of stuff.

318
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,000
He was a cool guy, man.

319
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,040
And yeah, he was our friend in the queue.

320
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:14,960
Once we got into the Star Wars Celebration official store.

321
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,480
It was one of the shittiest stores I think I've ever been in in my life and I couldn't

322
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:19,480
have got out there quicker.

323
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,000
Yeah, it took about 45 minutes to get in there.

324
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,720
We asked Jeff for advice because we missed out on the pre-order tickets, hyper speed,

325
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,800
fucking line bollocks so you can get in there quick.

326
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,000
And when I looked into it, people were saying, oh, you won't be able to get there.

327
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,400
So if you want to get in the store, you'll have to queue up for, you know, if you're

328
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,040
going for four days, you'll have to allocate a day just to queueing up to get in there.

329
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,280
Well, that wasn't the case because our boy Jeff said, look, we got an hour in this queue

330
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,400
and then we bang ourselves over to the Funko store.

331
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,400
Get in there rapidly.

332
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,400
Trust.

333
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,400
Trust.

334
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,400
Trust.

335
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,440
That was better jarring.

336
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,560
So yeah, we got in there and it was just fucking expensive t-shirts and jackets and loads

337
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:03,560
of bollocks.

338
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:04,560
I'm not interested.

339
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:05,560
Where's the toys?

340
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:06,560
I'm an adult.

341
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:07,560
I want toys, not clothes.

342
00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:10,760
This is exactly what you expect a merchandise store to be and we weren't happy with it.

343
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:11,760
We didn't want it.

344
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,320
But no, but we would have got some pins or badges, but they put them behind the fucking

345
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,600
9,000 strong queue.

346
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,080
Queuing up to look at some badges.

347
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,080
Yeah, that was a bit fucking annoying.

348
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,160
So yeah, we suck that off.

349
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,760
I reckon we broke a world record for people entering a store and leaving like a Comic-Con

350
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:30,760
or something.

351
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,160
Like queuing for that length of time, walking in and going, what the fuck and walking out.

352
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,160
Yeah.

353
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,160
Yeah.

354
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,000
There was nothing that we was interested in whatsoever.

355
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,320
And the times for the Funko store were completely out of whack.

356
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,320
Everyone...

357
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,320
Hold on.

358
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,320
We haven't got there yet.

359
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,320
We walked out.

360
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,320
No, no, we haven't.

361
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,520
As we walked out, we found the tattooists.

362
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:58,880
A lot of tattooists in a line, all their names plastered in lights behind them, all obviously

363
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,120
well-known tattooists.

364
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,560
Looked for a couple of their work.

365
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,800
Yeah, looked like double decent.

366
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:10,520
And I said, you know, depending how long it takes and what the price is, I might get a

367
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,200
little Darth Vader on me.

368
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,720
Not for them fucking prices.

369
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:15,720
250 pounds.

370
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,680
For a Darth Vader the size of a 2p pence.

371
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,640
It was fucking extortionate.

372
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,960
Well, I saw a book filled with Vader's.

373
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,400
I went, there you go, Prince.

374
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,360
There's some fucking Vader's for you, lad.

375
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,840
And then looked over and see the price tag for them.

376
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:30,840
250 quid.

377
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:31,840
Absolutely fucking not.

378
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,120
See you later.

379
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,120
We legged it.

380
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,120
Fuck that.

381
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,120
Fuck that.

382
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:43,800
And then to the next thing, which is probably the highlight of my experience when I looked

383
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:44,800
back in hindsight.

384
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,360
It wasn't that great at the time, but when I looked back, it was the best.

385
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,160
So there was an emperor.

386
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:57,400
There was an emperor sitting in a throne, getting pictures taken with him.

387
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,560
Stormtroopers usher you through and then a guy takes the picture for you with your phone.

388
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,960
There's a little booth next to it with a guy in there.

389
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,000
So I assumed you'd have to pay.

390
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,680
You have to pay for every other fucking thing in this gaff.

391
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,760
So I said, hello there, sir.

392
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,240
How much for a photo of the emperor?

393
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,720
He said, oh, no, it's free.

394
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:16,720
Just got a queue up.

395
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,000
I was like, kushty.

396
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:24,480
So I was like standing in front of the entrance where the stormtrooper was, just having a

397
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,960
look at other people, getting photos, seeing how it all works and all that bollocks.

398
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:35,240
There's a little queue next to this booth to our left, where obviously they're queuing

399
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,720
to get in, get in to have their photo of the emperor.

400
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:44,600
Out of nowhere, not even like a question was asked towards us.

401
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:50,600
I heard a lady say to her boyfriend, oh my God, we've queued up in the wrong queue.

402
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,640
That's the queue right there.

403
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,420
I'm thinking, is she talking about us?

404
00:16:55,420 --> 00:16:58,120
If that's the case, we're fucking next in the queue, mate.

405
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,000
So all of a sudden people started queuing behind us.

406
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,720
They've left the queue that they've been queuing in for God knows how long and joined in behind

407
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:06,720
us.

408
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,840
The stormtrooper rushed me through and then bang, photo job done off our fucking pots.

409
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,840
Great, wasn't it?

410
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,040
I completely forgot about that as well.

411
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,480
We just made a queue.

412
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:23,800
The thing is, absolutely everything in this place required queuing.

413
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:29,760
So the main negative of the entire day, of which there weren't that many, was that it

414
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,960
was so unholy in terms of organisation.

415
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,000
No one knew what the fuck was going on.

416
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,480
There seemed to be no staff anywhere to help you out.

417
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:47,640
And there was signs for queues, but no actual gridded area showing you where to queue, just

418
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,240
a sign for whatever it was.

419
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,920
But it didn't even say queue, it would just say like Funko store.

420
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,080
There were a lot of places where you had to queue but you couldn't queue until a certain

421
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,040
time so there was no queuing allowed unless you had a fucking hyper speed pass.

422
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,360
So people were like, well, we don't know where we're going to have to queue, when we're allowed

423
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:09,600
to queue, so we'll queue over here near where we think the queue is going to go.

424
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:15,280
And it was just creating queues of people who shouldn't be queuing in a place where

425
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:16,560
they don't know if they're supposed to be.

426
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:21,600
Yeah, there was just queues everywhere and it was like a lawless land.

427
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:27,680
Because like you'll find out later on, we threw the arguments around of, well, if it's

428
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,680
not an actual official queue, why the fuck am I standing at the back of it?

429
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:37,200
Well, I think essentially that's what happened next because we went from there, we bowled

430
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:42,640
up and we saw the Funko store and they were like, right, yeah, here's a queue along a

431
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,120
wall, no one's supposed to be queuing.

432
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:49,160
Everyone told us 12 o'clock is when the queuing started, but it was actually one o'clock.

433
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:55,240
So you had people that were queuing up at like half 11 ready to get in the queue, the

434
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,360
actual queue that wasn't happening until one.

435
00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:02,680
And a lot of people were kicking off at the Funko staff because they were saying it was

436
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,920
... maybe it changed, I don't know, I don't think it would have changed, but for some

437
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,560
reason everyone thought it was 12 o'clock.

438
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,800
Yeah, there's a reason everyone thought it was the same time, isn't it?

439
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,480
There was a lot of sheepish behaviour going on here.

440
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:15,960
Everyone was just following everyone else.

441
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,680
Yeah, so I was listening in to these people talking to the Funko staff and they were like,

442
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:26,080
oh yeah, well, you know, they're queuing along the wall and they shouldn't be.

443
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,640
That queue's going to be abolished so they can't queue there.

444
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,840
On the grounds of health and safety because it was queuing out of the fucking celebration

445
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:33,840
into the hallways.

446
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:41,040
So it's like, well, fuck it because obviously you get event exclusives, Comic Con exclusive,

447
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,720
celebration exclusive, Funko pops and that's what everyone's after because you buy them

448
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,520
and then people put them up for fucking extortionate prices like they did.

449
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:57,160
Jar Jar Binks R2D2 and another droid in a double pack were the ones on offer and before

450
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,560
they'd even sold, people were putting them up on eBay for 80 quid for Jar Jar and 150

451
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:02,560
for the droids.

452
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:07,200
They were worth about 15 and 30 quid retrospectively.

453
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,960
So yeah, we thought we would have a bit of that, but we'll be keeping them.

454
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,080
So let's go find the end of this fucking queue.

455
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:20,040
So we walked up this wall outside and joined the back of this queue in the middle of the

456
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:26,440
shopping mall and we're standing there for all of, I want to say about 30 seconds before

457
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,680
I thought, why are we queuing in a queue that's not a queue?

458
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:35,200
Let's go and stand wherever the fuck we like because it's not a queue.

459
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:41,080
So we pulled up back to the front, saw an opening, saw a weak link and took it.

460
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,400
I stood next to these people.

461
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:44,880
Reese was playing all coy.

462
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:50,280
He was pretending to be on his phone, trying to be all like, yeah, you know, casual with

463
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:51,280
it.

464
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,840
I was like, get over here you bean.

465
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:59,080
And then I heard the dreaded, who the fuck is that guy?

466
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,080
Who's that guy?

467
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,080
Is he just pushing?

468
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,080
I saw, no.

469
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,720
She was like, are you with them?

470
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,280
Pointing to the people in front of me.

471
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,240
I was, let's think quickly.

472
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,160
So I said, no, no, no, you can go in front of me if you want.

473
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,160
I'm just standing here.

474
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,160
And it was working.

475
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:20,560
It was working until, you know, we queued for a couple of minutes.

476
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,800
Thought we got away with it.

477
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:31,120
And then we got to the corner where this non-existent queue snaked around and they hailed down a

478
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:33,040
security guard.

479
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,080
Hey, them guys pushed in behind us.

480
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,080
Get them out of the queue.

481
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:44,160
That cunt had no fucking reason to rat us out like that.

482
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,160
What a bitch.

483
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,160
The pair of them.

484
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,520
Mother and daughter, whoever it fucking was.

485
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,160
You bitches.

486
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,760
It was so unnecessary because there was no one fucking behind them.

487
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,400
They weren't inconveniencing anyone.

488
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,480
The bitch.

489
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,520
Fucking so annoying.

490
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,960
Because then, yeah, it all kicked off.

491
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,400
Yeah, so I had some words with the security guard.

492
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,400
We had a bit of back and forth until Reece said, leave it, brother.

493
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:12,400
It's enough.

494
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:13,400
It's enough.

495
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,400
I know you're rich.

496
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,400
We're wearing the merch.

497
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,400
We don't want a bad name.

498
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,400
Get out of here.

499
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,400
Yeah, no.

500
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,200
But you had a good point though because the geezer was saying, bearing in mind, we've just

501
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,720
heard all the people from the Funko store themselves say we're abolishing that fake

502
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:31,200
queue because it's on the grounds of health and safety, which makes complete sense because

503
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:36,320
it would have breached health and safety having queues going out of the actual venue.

504
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,400
You can't do anything.

505
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,600
So we've heard them say they're going to get rid of that queue.

506
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,160
So Ash is right in saying, right, well, I'm not going to fucking queue in this queue that

507
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,920
I've just heard is about to be split apart.

508
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,240
So I'm going to go to the very back of the official queue.

509
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,140
So that queue was closed because it was too full.

510
00:22:55,140 --> 00:23:00,960
So all we've done is skip the unofficial queue that isn't a queue that's about to get

511
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,920
broken up and then gone to the back of the official queue.

512
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:09,440
And when we did get ratted out, that security guard was like, no, you've got to go to the

513
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:10,720
back of that queue.

514
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,900
And we went, well, what queue?

515
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:13,900
That queue.

516
00:23:13,900 --> 00:23:15,360
And Ash was like, what?

517
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:19,640
That unofficial queue that's about to get split up, I'll go to the back of that, shall

518
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:20,640
I?

519
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:21,640
It was just fucking stupid.

520
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,320
I said, mate, there is no fucking queues.

521
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,160
I said, this is the only queue that you can queue in.

522
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,200
And then, yeah, it was just, we've said queue far too many times.

523
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,200
This fucking give me the hump.

524
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,480
The Funko store itself look wank though.

525
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,480
If I'm perfectly honest, it looks shit.

526
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:40,080
I just don't understand the snakey behavior.

527
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,200
You know, yeah, granted we pushed in, but who is it hurting?

528
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,800
No one in reality.

529
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,600
So yeah, fuck you.

530
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,120
You may be wondering why Ash keeps doing an American accent.

531
00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:54,400
There was a shit ton of Americans there because the Star Wars celebration doesn't happen in

532
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,760
the UK very often.

533
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,120
It is a, it happens a lot in America.

534
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:02,480
So a lot of Americans traveled over to the UK.

535
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,040
I've got nothing against Americans, love Americans.

536
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:12,840
But yeah, that woman just was just, just, listen, I understand where she's coming from.

537
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:19,320
But at the same point, if someone done that and I was standing there, and I would have

538
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,960
clocked his eye and I would have gone, good on you son.

539
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,240
You spotted an entry and you took it.

540
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:31,200
Yeah, all I would do is say, like I'd start speaking to them.

541
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,320
I'd either pretend that they're with me or I'd just start chatting to them.

542
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,400
And I'd either say, get behind me because I ain't missing out on my shit because you

543
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,400
wanted to butt in.

544
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,440
Or I'd say, you can stay there.

545
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,320
I'll cover you.

546
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:48,360
But when we get in there, I'm fucking having first dibs on anything.

547
00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:49,360
Simple as that.

548
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:51,160
There was no need for her to rat us out.

549
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,400
And then, yeah, we didn't get in.

550
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,400
We didn't get in.

551
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,800
So we fucked off elsewhere.

552
00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:00,960
Yeah, so we wandered about endlessly for the next eight hours.

553
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,640
Just shops everywhere, man.

554
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,920
There was, because I was really expecting it to just be purely Star Wars, but it was

555
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:13,080
a haven for fucking everything because obviously my big thing is Funko Pops.

556
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,480
And you couldn't fucking move for Funko Pops, man.

557
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,960
There was loads of people selling them, fucking thousands of them.

558
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,140
And they were all different ones.

559
00:25:23,140 --> 00:25:28,800
There was shit loads of signed Funkos, rare Funkos, cheap Funkos, ones that I didn't even

560
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:29,800
know existed.

561
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:34,040
I fucking signed Stan Lee in a cabinet.

562
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,520
Signed by Stan Lee, not some random fucking fake thing.

563
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,520
COA and everything.

564
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:39,520
Oh, great.

565
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,200
Yeah, it was all just pop culture stuff, wasn't it?

566
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,720
Obviously, mainly Star Wars, but then just everything else.

567
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,960
I didn't like the Hasbro store in the corner.

568
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:50,960
That was fucking stupid.

569
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,200
I was like, well, this is where the problem is now, isn't it?

570
00:25:54,200 --> 00:26:00,000
This is why I continue to spend money after the matter of fact, which is now, which is

571
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,320
what I presumed it was.

572
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,880
So that was the first place we actually went when we walked in because we walked and we

573
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:06,880
walked and we walked.

574
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,720
And the first thing I saw was Hasbro, which is what I collect, Black Series, Star Wars

575
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,640
figures, but they're all just, I was like, where's the prices?

576
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:15,920
They're all just in cabinets.

577
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,480
But what it was is more of a showcase, a showpiece.

578
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,040
Yeah, you couldn't buy anything.

579
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,120
It was all directing you to their website.

580
00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:24,640
Yeah, basically just saying, well, here's what's coming.

581
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,640
Look what we've got.

582
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:26,640
Have a look.

583
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:27,640
Yeah.

584
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:28,640
So yeah, that's it.

585
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,680
But it took up the whole corner of a fucking warehouse.

586
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:32,680
It was huge.

587
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,360
And rightly so because it's top quality and I love it.

588
00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:37,160
It was good, but it was sort of like, why are you fucking showing me this stuff?

589
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,880
I can't actually walk away with any of it.

590
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:40,880
How annoying.

591
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,440
Just put a poster up.

592
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,440
Yeah.

593
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,440
So you took, well, we both bought something from the, we found a stall.

594
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,920
I found one of the figures to knock off my list, which was Darth Maul from the Clone Wars.

595
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,880
Makes him my second Darth Maul figure.

596
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,720
And I said, excuse me, sir, how much for this?

597
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,200
And he said, oh, that's £25.

598
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:07,200
I said, Ooh, I'll give that some thought for a few minutes.

599
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,480
And this fucking cunt.

600
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,640
Oh, look, it's a Damon Targaryen signed Funko pop.

601
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,080
How much for this, mate?

602
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,080
250 quid.

603
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,080
He goes, yeah, I'll take it.

604
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,640
Gasp's around the stall.

605
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,960
I'm not joking.

606
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,640
I think there was a guy from like New Zealand or, or sat in behind us.

607
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:27,640
He went, cool.

608
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:28,640
Fucking hell.

609
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:33,360
Just like shocked that it just dropped 250.

610
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:34,360
Just bang like that.

611
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:35,840
It was just no thought process.

612
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:36,840
I didn't look at it.

613
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:37,840
Well, I looked at it.

614
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,840
I didn't hold it.

615
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,600
I didn't even see if it had a certificate of authenticity.

616
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,160
It didn't, but we'll, we'll cover that later.

617
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,440
I just see Damon Targaryen.

618
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,440
He's my favourite character out of House of the Dragon.

619
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,440
So yeah, I was like, I'm having that.

620
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,440
We dropped the bones and a smegle.

621
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,440
Oh yeah.

622
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:58,440
Let's not forget the smegle.

623
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,560
It was more expensive than the figure I was already humming and ahhing about.

624
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:02,560
Yeah.

625
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:03,560
The gay, I just asked him, I said, how much is it?

626
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:04,560
He says 200.

627
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,640
Because basically Mark's got himself into collecting signed Funko pops.

628
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,760
And I was like, I want to, I want to taste of that.

629
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,900
And yeah, it was, it was a, it was the first signed Funko that I see there that had any

630
00:28:15,900 --> 00:28:18,480
relevance to my life.

631
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,640
And yeah, when he said 250, there was no hesitation.

632
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,400
I just went, all right.

633
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:23,680
And yeah, Ash isn't lying.

634
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,640
For some reason, all these people that were around this store and there were a lot of

635
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,840
people around this store, it's silence.

636
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:29,840
It's just gas.

637
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,640
And then went silent.

638
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:38,320
And it wasn't embarrassing, but it's only a little stall, but the geezer, he wanted,

639
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,440
he wanted to take my number because I was going to leave them with him.

640
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,400
Cause I was like, there ain't no way I'm spending this money and walking around the fucking,

641
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,200
it was, it was like being packed in a sardine can.

642
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,400
There was just so many people.

643
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,400
What was he called it?

644
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,400
Nuts to bucks.

645
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,400
Nuts to bucks.

646
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,400
It was fucking ram-o.

647
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,400
We was nuts to bucks.

648
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:59,400
So I was like, already walked past one guy, fucking dropped a massive Funko on the floor.

649
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:00,400
I was like, hey.

650
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,400
Oh yeah, he did.

651
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,400
You got like, ooooh.

652
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,720
I was like, I ain't, I ain't having that.

653
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,720
So I was like, I'll leave them with you.

654
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,400
And he was like, oh, I need to take your number.

655
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,720
So rather than letting me call it out to him and he'll write it down.

656
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,560
No, he made me come into the middle of the store and fucking write it on a notepad.

657
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:19,560
So I'm in the middle of everyone now writing my number down, looking all fucking important.

658
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,320
And then I thought he was just going to hand me the card machine.

659
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:22,800
I type, no, no, no, no, no.

660
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,240
He types a fucking summing.

661
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,960
That's 270, no, 280 pounds please sir.

662
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,440
As loud as he fucking could.

663
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:32,440
I was like, all right.

664
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:33,440
Here's my card.

665
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,440
This is gold pen.

666
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:35,440
Sign it with this.

667
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:36,440
There you go lad.

668
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:37,440
See you later.

669
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,440
Thanks.

670
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,440
And then just walked off.

671
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:40,440
And then.

672
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:46,160
And then I was like, can I leave my, can I leave my Darth Maul with his stuff please?

673
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,880
This whole bit of shit as he tossed it behind his shoulder and landed on the pile.

674
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:51,880
It was fantastic.

675
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,440
I basically, I moistened the fucking hinges of the wallet.

676
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:57,800
I went, that's that done.

677
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,280
You always got to get the first one out.

678
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:00,280
Bang.

679
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,280
He loosened it.

680
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,280
He loosened it.

681
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,480
So that was 280 bones down for you.

682
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,080
25 down for me.

683
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:12,800
And the next stall, they missed out on a little sale from me, a little Bo Katana.

684
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,960
Bo Katana I was looking at.

685
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:15,960
Pick the figure up.

686
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:16,960
Guy bumped into me.

687
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,960
It was like, sorry, food got in the way there.

688
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,440
I was too interested in eating.

689
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:21,440
That fat prick.

690
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:22,880
I was like, there's no worries sir.

691
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:23,880
There's no worries.

692
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,480
He owned the stall or whatnot.

693
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,640
He was just standing by all the expensive shit, eating fucking nachos.

694
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,520
Just smearing his fucking dirty fingers on everything.

695
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:34,920
I picked this Bo Katana up.

696
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,400
I was like, I'm probably going to have this.

697
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,040
I was wandering around the stall looking to see if there's anything else I'd be interested

698
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,480
in.

699
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:46,920
And then he shouted over to the people who was also working on the stall.

700
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:47,920
He's got a figure.

701
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:48,920
He's got a figure.

702
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,840
And like pointed at me and I could see him out my peripheral and I was thinking, I fucking

703
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:53,840
know I've got a figure, mate.

704
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,840
I'm going to pay for it when I've decided if I want to buy anything else.

705
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,360
But the way he's fucking done it, it was like I was going to try and sneak off and steal

706
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,360
it.

707
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,120
So that pissed me off instantly.

708
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,880
So I've inspected the box a bit and I was like, you know what?

709
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,040
This box is slightly damaged.

710
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,440
So I thought, fuck this.

711
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,880
So I just put it back and I wandered off.

712
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:20,000
And as I wandered off, I looked back to see this guy and he's having a fucking panic attack.

713
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,780
He's looking around like a meerkat thinking that I've fucking run away with the figure

714
00:31:24,780 --> 00:31:28,880
and he's looking, trying to find out because he doesn't know what one I had or nothing.

715
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,160
So he don't know if I stole anything or not.

716
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,160
Fuck him.

717
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,160
Yeah, he's a fucking prick.

718
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,000
That's what you lost yourself a sale, dickhead.

719
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Suck your mother.

720
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,200
And there we go.

721
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,040
So that was that guy.

722
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,040
Onto the next.

723
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,040
Onto the next.

724
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:48,200
The next thing was for the hundred and seventieth time in 40 minutes that we'd been there,

725
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,880
he was like, I need food.

726
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,440
I need food.

727
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:52,440
Starving.

728
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:53,720
Absolutely starving.

729
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:59,440
So we compromised on a little, uh, no, don't make it sound like I was being greedy.

730
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,960
I was looking after the both of us on this one because you was happy to just fucking

731
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,200
continue and I would never have eaten all day.

732
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,060
You had a fucking migraine.

733
00:32:07,060 --> 00:32:13,200
So I said, no, no, no, before it gets too tasty, let's, let's, let's exit out of here

734
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:18,240
and have some food, get something in our gullets and then we can crack on, get something in

735
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:19,240
us.

736
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,240
So we did.

737
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,400
We went and went to a noodle bar and Ash had his first ever taste of katsu curry.

738
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:24,400
He loved it.

739
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,400
Fucking lovely.

740
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:26,400
It was decent.

741
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:27,400
Delicious.

742
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:28,400
I never thought delicious.

743
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:35,000
I never thought, um, battered bread, crumbed chicken.

744
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,200
It's panko bread crumbs.

745
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,200
Yeah.

746
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,760
Well, whatever it is, I didn't think that in a little, little pot of curry and rice

747
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,040
would be as delicious as it was.

748
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,160
So yeah, it was quite spicy.

749
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,160
Warm, warm the old cockles.

750
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,160
Not that it needed warming.

751
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,080
So it was fucking well in there.

752
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,920
Yeah, it was, it was sweltering in there and then we ate our food and then we fucking trundled

753
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,920
on back into, into star Wars land.

754
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,000
We trundled off to find more toys.

755
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,200
This is essentially what we did all day.

756
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,760
Funkos, just Funkos, Funkos, Funkos, Funkos.

757
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,720
I'd speak about, I've got a little, a Lord of the Rings plaque, one of 5,000 made, which

758
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:13,360
I could have very easily stolen, but I decided not to because I have a heart and morals.

759
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:14,360
You're not a scumbag.

760
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:15,480
I could have easily nicked it.

761
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,480
I'd love to know how much stuff in there actually got pinched because there was just so much

762
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,480
going on.

763
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:21,480
So it did get nicked, didn't it?

764
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,280
Did you see the article come out?

765
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:24,280
No.

766
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:31,440
Oh mate, there's loads of merch got nicked there and they found one of the geezers who

767
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:36,800
nicked it in a costas coffee, dressed as a stormtrooper, hiding with a bunch of Ewoks.

768
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,440
Fucking hell no, surely not.

769
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,440
I had to Google it.

770
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,120
Oh mate, that's fucking hilarious.

771
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,680
So scummy behavior, but it was funny to read.

772
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,280
A funny picture was painted indeed.

773
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:53,480
But yeah, so I just, I was just on the lookout for black series figures.

774
00:33:53,480 --> 00:34:00,240
I was just trying to tick off some names on my list of which I did in the end.

775
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:08,920
I did, oh no, what about the, so obviously to get into these big reveals, these big events

776
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:16,160
where new shows and movies are being revealed, you have to either book the tickets or queue

777
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,400
up or whatnot.

778
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:23,440
But I'm not in the business of just trying to find out stuff 20 minutes for everyone

779
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:24,440
else.

780
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:25,440
I'm not bothered.

781
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:31,640
So I was walking by, there was a crowd gathering near a curtain where a guy was like peeking

782
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:37,440
through the curtain and live streaming what was going on at this fucking big event.

783
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,800
And he was holding his phone up for all to see.

784
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,160
So we're all crowded around this guy on the big reveal of Ahsoka Tana.

785
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,680
I'm like jumping up and down with these nerds.

786
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:47,680
It's frawn, it's frawn.

787
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,680
And there's all gassing each other.

788
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,840
It was such a great fucking time.

789
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,800
Then the security guard come out then he was like, all right, can we step away from this

790
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:57,800
please?

791
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,040
So we've got what we came for dickhead and we moved on.

792
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,040
It was very cool.

793
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,040
It was very, very clever.

794
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,040
There was just two people there fucking streaming it on their phones.

795
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,200
I was like, oh, so we don't even have to pay for this shit.

796
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,200
It's great.

797
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,160
He was getting gassed and you don't even like Star Wars.

798
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,520
Yeah, it was good, man.

799
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:12,520
It was good.

800
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:13,520
I liked it.

801
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:18,280
So yeah, we just continued on our journey to find more stuff, more stuff to buy.

802
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:28,200
And I ticked off a fair few names, but yeah, it all started with a quite a big stall.

803
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:35,160
And there was quite a few things I was interested in mainly a Calcast, a Cal Kestis first edition

804
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,920
Black Series, which comes in a white box.

805
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,040
That was like, I think it was like 80 or 90 quid.

806
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,040
It was 80 quid.

807
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:47,000
And, and you, and you're not one for talking people out of things.

808
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,280
You're just a do it guy.

809
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:49,720
Just fucking get it, you pussy.

810
00:35:49,720 --> 00:35:50,720
So just spend the money.

811
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:51,720
Get it, you fucking pussy.

812
00:35:51,720 --> 00:35:53,320
Don't worry about anything else.

813
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,320
Just fucking get it.

814
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,880
And I was like, I don't really want to, you know, I want it, but I don't want it that

815
00:35:58,880 --> 00:35:59,880
bad.

816
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:04,760
And he just kept pressurizing me and pressurizing me to the point where I didn't want to buy

817
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:05,760
anything.

818
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,280
After a while he fucked off and then I bought everything.

819
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:09,280
Yeah.

820
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,280
Basically.

821
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,040
We were standing at this stall and bless him while, while actually contemplating over this

822
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,040
Cal Kestis.

823
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:22,800
And this kid come up to us out of nowhere and obviously, um, very excited kid and clearly

824
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,120
a massive star wars fan.

825
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,160
So we just come up to us and started talking.

826
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,960
Um, and he was talking to Ash about, about Black Series.

827
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:36,520
I mean, this kid was saying how, um, he's only come like to get one thing.

828
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:41,320
Um, but now we've seen all of these Black Series and seen Ash like with a, with a fucking

829
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:45,240
handful of them, he was like, ah, now I just want to buy them all.

830
00:36:45,240 --> 00:36:48,040
So, but he's like, but I, but I shouldn't be spending the money.

831
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,960
So I just leant over his shoulder and I just went, spend it.

832
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:52,960
Do it.

833
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:53,960
Do it.

834
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:54,960
Spend it.

835
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:55,960
I went, spend the money.

836
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:56,960
I said, how long are you here for?

837
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:57,960
I said, how many days?

838
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:58,960
And he went, oh, I'm just here for the, for one day.

839
00:36:58,960 --> 00:36:59,960
I said, well, go on then.

840
00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:02,160
I said, you ain't going to be able to do this for a while.

841
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,080
I said, just fucking spend the money.

842
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:09,880
And then I'm pretty sure I see him walking around with a couple of bagfuls of whatever

843
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,480
it was I've just enticed him.

844
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,520
He was fucking dressed to kill as well.

845
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,640
He had a banging hat on like a fucking crocodile.

846
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:17,640
Yeah, crocodile Dundee.

847
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,680
He looked like Indiana Jones's dad.

848
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,840
He looked like a fucking Pokemon trainer.

849
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:22,840
Yeah, he did.

850
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:23,840
He was ready.

851
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,840
He was ready.

852
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,160
And I would, there was no way in hell that I was going to suppress that.

853
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,200
I was going to encourage that spend.

854
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,200
You fucking get what you need to get lad.

855
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,960
And encourage the spend you did.

856
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,880
So I was looking at a couple of figures.

857
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:40,760
So I settled for a Cal Kestis Jedi survivor, which I was happy with.

858
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,920
And what pushed me over the edge was there was a whole fucking rack of them.

859
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,920
And next time I looked over, there's all but one left.

860
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:48,920
Don't get me wrong.

861
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,680
They were restocking them, but I wasn't aware of this.

862
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,180
So I panicked and grabbed one.

863
00:37:54,180 --> 00:37:57,320
And when you fucked off, it just enticed me to just buy everything.

864
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:58,640
I didn't feel pressure.

865
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,200
Now I was free to do as I pleased.

866
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,600
And I saw Darth Revan, which I was interested in, but I was like, no, no, I don't need

867
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:06,600
Darth Revan.

868
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:07,600
Don't worry about that.

869
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,560
I saw Cad Bane, which he was telling me to get, which is very cool.

870
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,200
It's probably my favorite thing I bought there.

871
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:14,200
You're welcome.

872
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,200
Yeah.

873
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,200
Thanks for that.

874
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:17,200
Very, very fucking cool.

875
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:24,040
I'll tell you the ones I picked up because I've marked them off on my list.

876
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:34,120
So I picked up just from that store alone, Cad Bane, Cal Kestis and Darth Revan.

877
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,360
And I think I picked up some more, but they weren't on my list.

878
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,000
So they're just extras.

879
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:45,880
But nevertheless, I bought, I bought Cad Bane and bought Cal Kestis.

880
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,920
And the woman next to me, she was like, did you just buy that?

881
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,280
Did you just buy that Cad Bane?

882
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,480
I was like, yeah, I did.

883
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,640
And she was like, fuck's sake.

884
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:57,640
I wanted that.

885
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:58,640
He's my favorite.

886
00:38:58,640 --> 00:38:59,640
Makes you want it even more.

887
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:00,880
I'm sorry about that.

888
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,320
And then I looked over at the corner of my eye.

889
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:08,320
So I see a woman pick up Darth Revan and Darth Revan was the one I picked up earlier and

890
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:09,760
put down.

891
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:14,320
And you know, I was like, I can get this as and when I'm sure it'll pop up again.

892
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,760
I don't want to go silly with my money.

893
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,720
You know, let's not, let's not go crazy.

894
00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:25,080
And because she wanted it, I was like, right now I really want it.

895
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,160
And I've already bought these other figures.

896
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:31,160
So I was just lingering about watching her and she was proper umming and ah-ing over

897
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:32,160
it.

898
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,960
And when she put that down, I swooped in and I fucking grabbed it.

899
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,880
And now I really wanted it.

900
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,400
And then I grabbed Bosque as well.

901
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,520
I remember now I found another one that wasn't on my list.

902
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:50,160
I left the store and I went and stood there on my phone, lent up against some barrier

903
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,640
thing because I weren't interested.

904
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,960
I took the bag off and took my, turned my back to the crowd so everyone could see what's

905
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,840
the buttons in all its glory.

906
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:04,240
And I just sat there scrolling on my phone and bearing in mind, I left Ash with him contemplating

907
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:08,200
over whether to spend 80 quid on a fucking calcestus.

908
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:12,600
And then my, my, my persuasion just not working.

909
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,760
I was like, fucking this guy's just going to come out with one thing.

910
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:15,760
I was like, meh.

911
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:20,760
So I was sitting there scrolling on my phone and I turned around after like probably like

912
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:27,760
15, 20 minutes and then he comes walking up to me fast as you like, two bags in his hand

913
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:34,240
and then just breezes past my face and goes, I went mental.

914
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:41,400
So what I bought from that store was Bosque, 50 quid.

915
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,320
I bought Cadbane, 70 quid.

916
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,440
I bought calcestus, 24 quid.

917
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,040
I bought Darth Revan, 40 quid.

918
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,960
And I bought Canaan Jaros, 30 quid.

919
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:54,960
Just from that one store.

920
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:59,000
Just a sack of fucking toys in my bag.

921
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,880
And I was getting anxious.

922
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,200
I just fucking went mental with my money.

923
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,600
Naughty, naughty boy.

924
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:07,600
Yeah.

925
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:14,080
Trust me when I say them fucking price stickers got peeled off before I got home.

926
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:20,000
The trouble is with my wife is she knows me enough and she knows enough about what I'm

927
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:25,000
interested in to know when I buy stuff and what stuff is kind of worth.

928
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,880
So when she was like, what did you get?

929
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,040
And I was like, oh, you know, let's play a game.

930
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,320
Why don't you pick?

931
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,560
She knew exactly what the really expensive one was.

932
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:35,560
Of course.

933
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,400
She was like, isn't that the one that was out the Mandalorian that got removed because

934
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,360
of her naughty tweets?

935
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,280
I was like, yeah.

936
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:45,280
Oh yeah.

937
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,160
That was the one you had to go back for, wasn't it?

938
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,160
Yeah.

939
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:55,240
So I'd spent a lot of money on that stall and I thought that was me done until I saw

940
00:41:55,240 --> 00:42:00,760
Cara Dune, which I've just explained, but for those that don't know, is in the Mandalorian

941
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:06,760
and she got removed from Disney for some questionable tweets, which I can't remember what they were.

942
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:11,960
But yeah, so she basically all the figures of her were essentially canceled.

943
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,000
All the pre-orders were canceled.

944
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,960
And yeah, once they're gone, they're gone now.

945
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,400
You know, there's not going to be any more.

946
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:20,400
That was 90 quid.

947
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:21,760
I only took cash.

948
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:26,400
So there I ran around looking for a cash machine and promptly handed over the money.

949
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,160
I asked him to put it behind for me and then he lost it.

950
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:31,160
Yeah.

951
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:38,000
We went back to that stall to get hold of it and yeah, the gaze was like, you got that

952
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,960
figure that I put in the back for this man here.

953
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:46,800
And yeah, he was like, picking up any fucking bag around him.

954
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:47,800
It's not there.

955
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,920
Then you got the whole stall looking for this, looking for this fucking figure.

956
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:51,920
No one knows where it is.

957
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,920
I'm like, oh, he's been had over.

958
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,720
Oh, we're going to have a scrap.

959
00:42:56,720 --> 00:42:59,240
I thought they'd sold it, but it was there.

960
00:42:59,240 --> 00:43:00,720
We got it.

961
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:02,960
So yeah, that was the end of my spending.

962
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:07,880
It had to be because failing that, the bills weren't getting paid.

963
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:13,200
So that was, I put a button in it and then we went, but before that you, uh, went mental

964
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:14,200
nearly.

965
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:15,200
Did you?

966
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,560
Well, I nearly did that Funko cabinet.

967
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:18,560
Oh right.

968
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:19,560
Yeah.

969
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,560
That one, I forgot about that.

970
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:26,440
There was this fun, there was this probably, it was probably the biggest Funko stall that

971
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:27,440
was there.

972
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:33,720
Um, there was just fucking loads of stuff and straight away my eyes saw, um, a Pippin.

973
00:43:33,720 --> 00:43:35,320
Uh, yeah, yeah.

974
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,960
No, it was, no, it was a Mary, um, from Lord of the Rings.

975
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,320
And I was like, all right, there's some, there's going to be some cool stuff here.

976
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,160
Uh, never picked it up, which in hindsight I should have done because that was a decent

977
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:48,160
deal.

978
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,200
But in the middle of all these Funkos was a cabinet.

979
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:55,200
And normally when you see Funkos in the cabinet, they tend to be expensive.

980
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,720
If nerd base has taught me anything, the things in a cabinet are the expensive shit.

981
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:06,760
So straight away in the middle is a Stan Lee signed by the man himself.

982
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,160
There's no prices on anything.

983
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,160
Right.

984
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:15,520
At the top of this cabinet is Ellie and Joel, obviously from the last of us.

985
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,000
Now they are fucking difficult to come by.

986
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,720
They are expensive and they are fucking annoying.

987
00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:25,680
Well, there was a price tag on Joel and they wanted 200 quid for him.

988
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:26,680
And I went mental.

989
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:27,760
I went, he ain't worth that.

990
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,640
I said, there ain't no fucking way in hell.

991
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:30,640
It's not signed.

992
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,120
So they ain't worth 200 quid.

993
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:33,120
It's expensive.

994
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,600
It's an expensive pop, but it ain't 200 quid.

995
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:37,600
And Ellie didn't have a price tag.

996
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,160
I was like, I'm not even going to fucking bother.

997
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:46,560
But then at the bottom was a signed Gimli and a signed Samwise.

998
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,960
And obviously Lord of the Rings is my fucking, that's my jam.

999
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:50,960
That's tippity top.

1000
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:51,960
That's number one for me.

1001
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:57,640
So I was like, because I'm also trying to collect all the signed Lord of the Rings Funkos,

1002
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:02,800
which is a very, very expensive feat that I'm trying to, trying to achieve here.

1003
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,700
And obviously they didn't have prices on them.

1004
00:45:04,700 --> 00:45:08,840
So after curing for about fucking half an hour, trying to get this cunt's attention,

1005
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,520
I said, oh, excuse me, mate.

1006
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:11,520
How much is that?

1007
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,160
How much is the signed Gimli and the Samwise?

1008
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:15,160
And he didn't know.

1009
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,520
Well, he was the geezer you went to to find out the prices.

1010
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,000
So I was like, all right, well, this ain't a good crack here.

1011
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,280
So he turns to the other geezer that's on the stall.

1012
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:27,320
He goes, that Gimli in the cabinet is signed.

1013
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:28,400
How much is that?

1014
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,760
And the Samwise, he didn't know either.

1015
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,320
He comes waddling over.

1016
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,480
Um, um, oh, oh, let me think.

1017
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,680
That's not a good sign because now I know you're just trying to fuck me over.

1018
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:43,320
If you don't, if you've got shit in the cabinet, Ash, you know how much that shit is worth

1019
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,640
in the cabinet because you put it in a cabinet.

1020
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:46,640
Correct.

1021
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:51,160
The fact that this man didn't know how much this was, I was like, right, he's going to

1022
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,600
pluck any fucking number out of his asshole.

1023
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:54,600
And sure enough, he did.

1024
00:45:54,600 --> 00:46:01,880
He went 250 quid for the Gimli and 250 quid for the Samwise or 400 quid for both of them.

1025
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:02,880
And I went, no, you're right.

1026
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:03,880
I'm fucked off.

1027
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,880
And I was fuming for the rest of the day because I know them, I researched them, I'm after

1028
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,160
them and they aren't, they aren't worth that.

1029
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,160
They're there.

1030
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,360
You, you, you don't, you don't pay that for them.

1031
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,680
So I was like, he's fucking, he's having me over.

1032
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,720
I was like, if I didn't know any better, I would have bought one.

1033
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:19,880
But luckily I didn't.

1034
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:28,920
And funny enough, I've now got a signed Gimli which cost me 42 quid, which is real.

1035
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,600
So I've saved myself a load of money there and I've got a signed Sauron as well, which

1036
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,320
also cost me, I think 47 quid.

1037
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,120
So it's deals on wheels for me.

1038
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,200
But yeah, I was just pissed off because that geezer wanted too much money for them Funkos.

1039
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:42,960
He can go fuck himself.

1040
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:44,360
I'll find him elsewhere.

1041
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,120
But it was annoying because he had so many cool Funkos there.

1042
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:48,720
But there was just so many people.

1043
00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:50,800
There were so many people.

1044
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:56,600
So trying to actually get to the front of the queue to see half of it was just impossible.

1045
00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:00,440
So yeah, I think my spending stopped there, you know.

1046
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,920
I don't think I actually bought anything else after that.

1047
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:03,920
You did?

1048
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:04,920
Did I?

1049
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:06,960
You bought a certificate of authenticity.

1050
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:08,640
Ah, that was it.

1051
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:12,200
The Daemon Targaryen didn't have a certificate of authenticity.

1052
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:18,160
So in my hastiness to buy it, once we went back after a couple of hours to collect it,

1053
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:22,600
I was panicking because I was like, fuck, whatever it's fake, I've been done over.

1054
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:29,520
Well, so suddenly I'm researching Matt Smith's signature and the signature looks legit.

1055
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:30,520
Right.

1056
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:35,680
It looks like his actual signature, but there's no way a fucking of me just noting.

1057
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:40,800
And it was what the last pass we did the very last pass.

1058
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,360
We walked past where everyone's getting all the site, like all the signatures from the

1059
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:50,400
cast of various different things to do with Star Wars.

1060
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:57,360
And lo and behold, right next to it is a Beckett store, which does authentic authentication

1061
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:02,640
on signatures and grading and things like that.

1062
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,720
And it said a big sign saying you can get your stuff authenticated now.

1063
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:09,360
I was like, oh shit, all right, well, fucking let's let's queue up and do that.

1064
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,000
I didn't wait long.

1065
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,000
I spoke to the geezer.

1066
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:16,040
I said, I've got a Funko here that I've bought that's got a signature.

1067
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:21,000
Can I get it like get an authenticity check on it?

1068
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:22,920
And he was like, yeah, it shouldn't be an issue.

1069
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:24,320
I said, it's nothing to do with Star Wars.

1070
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:25,880
And he was like, did you get it from here?

1071
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:26,880
And I went, yeah, yeah.

1072
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:27,880
I said, I've bought it today.

1073
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:33,960
And he turns around to his boss and he went, I've got a guy who wants to get his signature

1074
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:34,960
authenticated.

1075
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:39,160
He's like, it ain't Star Wars, but he says he's bought the Funko from here.

1076
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:44,640
And that geezer fucking made my heart drop to my asshole because he was like, where did

1077
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:45,640
he get it from?

1078
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,600
Because if he's got it from that store over there, it's a no go.

1079
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,520
But if he's got it from that store over there, we're good.

1080
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,400
So I'm looking in the direction where he says no go.

1081
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,440
And I'm trying to remember where I fucking bought this Funko from.

1082
00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:01,760
Basically I think that whatever store he was pointing to is a rip off or something.

1083
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,560
They got some thief for some reason.

1084
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:04,560
There's something going on.

1085
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:09,320
Luckily I didn't get it from whatever store that was.

1086
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:17,280
And funnily enough, the guy that was authenticating my signature for 10 quid said they do a lot

1087
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,680
of work with Matt Smith.

1088
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:23,240
They do a lot of authenticating on his signatures.

1089
00:49:23,240 --> 00:49:27,640
And he said it's one of the best signatures that he's ever seen Matt Smith do because

1090
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:32,120
he put DT for Damon Targaryen, which apparently is very rare.

1091
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:36,800
And he also put a little smiley face on it, which adds a little bit of uniqueness.

1092
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:42,880
So all in all, I think it actually took about 10, maybe 15 minutes for them to authenticate

1093
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,720
the signature for 10 quid.

1094
00:49:44,720 --> 00:49:46,680
And then boom, there's your certificate.

1095
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,920
There's your little sticker you get on the box.

1096
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:49,920
Off you go.

1097
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:51,280
So that was my worry sorted.

1098
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:55,160
I now have an authenticated Damon Targaryen.

1099
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:56,160
So that's fantastic.

1100
00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:02,640
And then that's where my fucking spending stopped other than buying a cheeseburger.

1101
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,360
The most expensive cheeseburger I've ever seen.

1102
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,400
And it was one of the shittest cheeseburgers I've ever had.

1103
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:17,400
For essentially the smallest piece of meat in between these pathetic squashed buns.

1104
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,520
Just a complete waste of money.

1105
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:21,760
But they get you.

1106
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,960
They pull your pants down at places like this.

1107
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:25,400
They're like, all right.

1108
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:26,400
Who's hungry?

1109
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:27,400
You are.

1110
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:28,400
Tenner.

1111
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:29,400
Flat rate.

1112
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:30,400
Burger.

1113
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:31,400
Tenner.

1114
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:32,400
Bosch.

1115
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,880
And you're like, oh, but I am hungry though.

1116
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,920
So I'll fucking pay it because I'm a mug.

1117
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,160
That's what they do.

1118
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:41,160
That's how they get you.

1119
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,400
But what an experience.

1120
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:47,960
Hold on two seconds.

1121
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,600
There's the trash back for you.

1122
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,440
That's a nice one.

1123
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,880
Nice fragrance to that one.

1124
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:56,880
Bosch.

1125
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:58,640
No, it was a good experience.

1126
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,240
I had a good time.

1127
00:51:00,240 --> 00:51:02,200
He had a good time.

1128
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,280
Just developed quite the headache.

1129
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:09,520
But I don't think, unless what's the buttons takes off, I don't think we'll be going to

1130
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,640
the next one in 2025 because it's in Japan.

1131
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:17,600
So I think that might be our one and only Star Wars celebration.

1132
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,760
But if it is, it was definitely worth our time.

1133
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:25,840
It's actually quite funny because I was talking to Steph about some like the place that I

1134
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:27,240
would like to visit the most.

1135
00:51:27,240 --> 00:51:31,280
And Japan is where I would love to visit the most out of anywhere in the world.

1136
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:32,560
Yeah, it's my number one.

1137
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:36,880
So maybe I will go to fucking Japan because they got some real good sushi over there.

1138
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,200
I'll go to Japan, but I don't think I'll be going to Star Wars celebration.

1139
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,120
Them prices plus the Japan trip plus the flights.

1140
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,360
Oh yeah, but how cool is that though?

1141
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,520
Oh, it's confusing enough in England.

1142
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:48,520
I live here.

1143
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,080
Yeah, well, it was mega confusing.

1144
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:51,960
It was a very good day.

1145
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:52,960
It was worth it.

1146
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,280
I just didn't know what the fuck was going on.

1147
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:58,440
I didn't know who, what was going on where there was a bunch of prisoners screaming at

1148
00:51:58,440 --> 00:51:59,440
us.

1149
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:00,440
I don't know what was happening.

1150
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:01,440
I don't know what they were saying.

1151
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:02,440
I didn't really understand it.

1152
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:03,440
I was a bit scared at that point.

1153
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,520
And yeah, that was it.

1154
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,160
It was as nerdy as you could imagine it would be, but it weren't as smelly as it would be.

1155
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:11,160
It was a great experience.

1156
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:12,160
Really, really good experience.

1157
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:17,840
And I'm happy I've experienced something like that because I've never been to any con, comic

1158
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,600
con fucking celebration, whatever.

1159
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:24,080
So yeah, it was nice to see and them, and then prisoners you're talking about there

1160
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:28,720
from and, or they're all dressed up as prisoners and there's all, there's all shouting one

1161
00:52:28,720 --> 00:52:29,720
way out.

1162
00:52:29,720 --> 00:52:34,520
I think because of this event, I've spent so much money on Funko's since leaving that

1163
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:35,520
event.

1164
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:40,960
I think I've spent like another four, 500 quid.

1165
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:42,520
Yeah.

1166
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:46,420
So my spending has continued also.

1167
00:52:46,420 --> 00:52:53,600
So what happened was all the black series in the Hasbro store that I was talking about,

1168
00:52:53,600 --> 00:53:02,280
they, they then got announced like the new ones that was coming out and then they got

1169
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:06,640
put up for pre-order on the 11th, I believe.

1170
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:07,640
What's the date today?

1171
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:08,640
It's the 14th.

1172
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:09,640
Yeah.

1173
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:13,600
So on the 11th, some of them went up for pre-order and then on the 12th.

1174
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:20,800
So then, then I went and pre-ordered them basically.

1175
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:28,360
So you know, not only did I buy a lot of Star Wars figures there, I've also pre-ordered

1176
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,160
the ones that were announced.

1177
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:34,480
They are as follows, the black series, Jabba the Hutt.

1178
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,080
I'm not going to go through the prices because it's just stupid at this point.

1179
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:38,680
Can you give us that price on?

1180
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,600
That's 70 quid.

1181
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,120
That's the only price you get.

1182
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:43,120
Great.

1183
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:44,960
So that's the Jabba the Hutt.

1184
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:49,720
I also pre-ordered Darth Maul old master version.

1185
00:53:49,720 --> 00:53:53,040
That'll be my third Darth Maul.

1186
00:53:53,040 --> 00:54:01,080
I also pre-ordered Chrysanthemum, who is a bounty hunter from the book of Boba Fett.

1187
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:05,880
I also pre-ordered Darth Vader.

1188
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:07,680
You would have seen him in the cabinet.

1189
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,160
Revenge of the Jedi version.

1190
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:15,760
He's got like red tinge to his armor, which is essentially Revenge of the Jedi, which

1191
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:20,440
is what Return of the Jedi was supposed to be called, but they changed it right at the

1192
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,080
last second.

1193
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:27,440
And I also pre-ordered Jesse, the Cologne Commander.

1194
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:32,320
And I think that's it, but it's just silly now at this point.

1195
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,520
It needs to be curbed, but I can't fucking stop.

1196
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,640
Stop releasing them for 10 minutes, please.

1197
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:39,640
Should we go for mine quick?

1198
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:40,640
Yes, please.

1199
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:45,520
I got the Last of Us triple.

1200
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:51,460
I got Joel, Ellie, and the clicker for 215 quid.

1201
00:54:51,460 --> 00:54:56,000
So when that cunt wanted 200 quid just for Joel, I managed to get all three of the fuckers

1202
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:57,000
for 215.

1203
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,240
All right, so he can go fuck himself.

1204
00:54:59,240 --> 00:55:01,120
That's been paid.

1205
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:02,200
I'm waiting for that turn up.

1206
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,400
That should have been here today.

1207
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,200
Sauron signed by Salah Baker.

1208
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:08,760
That was 47 quid.

1209
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:14,980
We got Gimli signed by John Rhys Davis for 43 quid.

1210
00:55:14,980 --> 00:55:23,200
And then yesterday I got for 75 quid Gollum, Aragon, and Gandalf the White.

1211
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:28,520
Now, Gandalf the White was worth about 50, 60 quid on his own, so that's quite decent.

1212
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:29,520
Paid for all of them.

1213
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:37,080
And then on my watch list, I've got Pippin for 25 quid, Galadriel for 20 quid so far,

1214
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:43,840
Threebeard for 60 quid, a signed Frodo and it's the chase version.

1215
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,160
That's for 250 quid.

1216
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:53,440
And then I got a Mary, which has been signed, 220.

1217
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,680
Boromir, which has been signed.

1218
00:55:55,680 --> 00:56:01,120
Now, this geezer did offer me 240 for that and I didn't accept it because I just didn't

1219
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,480
want to pay it, but I might do.

1220
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,960
And then I got another Frodo, another chase, which is signed.

1221
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:11,400
But this one's been signed in Glow in the Dark ink, which is quite cool.

1222
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:12,400
So I am tempted.

1223
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:13,400
That's 250.

1224
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:16,160
I got a Nazgul, 30 quid.

1225
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,780
There's another Galadriel, a different version for 30 quid.

1226
00:56:19,780 --> 00:56:26,920
And then there's a signed Treebeard by John Rhys Davis for 260 at the moment.

1227
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,440
So yeah, I'm scared.

1228
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:31,760
Yeah, I mean, that's mental.

1229
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:32,760
That's just mental.

1230
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:38,040
The one that I'm after is Ian McKellen, a signed Gandalf, trying to find, well, not

1231
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:42,720
trying to find one, trying to get one for less than 500 quid is impossible.

1232
00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:47,600
Trying to get one that's been authenticated is impossible.

1233
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:52,960
I'm not too comfortable blasting 500 quid on a Funko pop that hasn't been authenticated.

1234
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:57,280
I feel like if you're trying to get something for 500 quid, spend the fucking 20 quid to

1235
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:00,720
authenticate it, then you'll get it.

1236
00:57:00,720 --> 00:57:02,080
So it's a bit scary.

1237
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,960
Trying to get a signed Legolas, so trying to get Orlando Bloom's signature on a Funko

1238
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:07,280
pop is proven impossible.

1239
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:13,400
Obviously, Saruman's going to be a bit difficult because the geezer's dead.

1240
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,040
And then Aragon is impossible.

1241
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:17,040
There ain't any.

1242
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:21,080
So I don't know if he's just never done any signatures, but I can't find his signature

1243
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:22,600
on a Funko pop for the life of me.

1244
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:25,560
So I think that one might be impossible.

1245
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:26,560
But I'm trying.

1246
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:33,160
But the Ian McKellen one, Gandalf's my favorite character from Lord of the Rings.

1247
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:37,040
So I really would love to get one that's signed by him.

1248
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,520
And also that geezer has not got long left.

1249
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:45,080
So when he pops his clogs, the price of his signature is going to fucking skyrocket.

1250
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:47,520
And I don't want to be the person who has to pay the price for it.

1251
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,920
He's going to be alive forever.

1252
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,200
Gandalf the Grey, whatever his name is, Gandalf the White.

1253
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:53,200
He's Gandalf the White.

1254
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:54,200
That's right, Gandalf the White.

1255
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,880
He's a fucking powerful wizard, mate.

1256
00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:02,240
If he can just hold on a little bit, maybe till next payday or until someone pops one

1257
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:07,480
on eBay that's been authenticated, just give me some more time, please.

1258
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:08,480
All right.

1259
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,040
Oh, I also bought two Funko pops today.

1260
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:12,040
What did you get?

1261
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:16,440
I got a Black Chrysanthemum and Cad Bane pop figure.

1262
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:17,440
Nice.

1263
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:18,440
But I got them from a shop.

1264
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:19,440
I didn't get them from online.

1265
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:20,440
And I walked in.

1266
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:25,040
I thought I was getting away with it and Jen went, oh, you've been Smith's.

1267
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:26,040
What did you get the kids?

1268
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:29,040
I was like, ah, it's for me.

1269
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:30,040
Oh, dear.

1270
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:31,040
Oh, dear.

1271
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:32,040
Oh, God.

1272
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,360
So then I bought them a couple of toys.

1273
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:36,360
So that was that, wasn't it?

1274
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:37,920
That was Star Wars Celebration.

1275
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:41,280
We come away with absolutely zero Star Wars Celebration merch.

1276
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,160
Nothing to mark the day.

1277
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:44,720
No, nothing to actually mark the day.

1278
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:46,000
Oh, we got our tickets.

1279
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:51,080
Every single thing that we bought, that we come away with, could have been purchased

1280
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:54,080
outside of that celebration.

1281
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:57,200
Yes, that is true.

1282
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:01,120
And the worrying thing is it's fucking almost Star Wars Day.

1283
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,920
So there's going to be even more fucking spending on my behalf.

1284
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:04,920
Yeah, it's great.

1285
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,600
Which is, it's just, it's exciting.

1286
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:08,600
But God almighty.

1287
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:12,620
It's dangerous because like I've said before, for me, it's not even a fucking investment

1288
00:59:12,620 --> 00:59:14,240
because I'm not going to sell any of it.

1289
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,240
No, neither am I if I don't plan on it.

1290
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:17,240
I know it's going to happen.

1291
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:20,920
I'm going to get old and I'm going to leave them to the kids and be like, look, after

1292
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:21,920
my prized possessions.

1293
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:22,920
Straight down the boot sale.

1294
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:23,920
What the fuck is this shit?

1295
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:24,920
In the charity shop.

1296
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:25,920
Yeah.

1297
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:26,920
Get rid of this.

1298
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:27,920
These relics of a bygone era.

1299
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:28,920
I'm after a new teddy.

1300
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:30,520
Let's get rid of some of this toot.

1301
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:31,520
Yeah.

1302
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,520
Which is fine if they sell it properly, but I know they won't.

1303
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,960
I'll make sure they know it should be worth some P. It's worth P now.

1304
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:41,480
So not silly money, but enough.

1305
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:42,720
More than I tend to pay for them.

1306
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:43,720
It's a good hobby.

1307
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:44,720
I like looking at stuff.

1308
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:45,720
I like looking at little collections.

1309
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:46,720
I like collecting things.

1310
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:52,880
So before I'm a collector of trinkets and baubles.

1311
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:53,880
So that's that.

1312
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:55,880
That pigeons having a field day.

1313
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:57,560
He keeps pulling up worms.

1314
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:04,160
I don't know how many worms that fucking cunt wants.

1315
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:06,440
And on that note, we're going to fuck off.

1316
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:07,440
Yeah.

1317
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:08,440
Uh, yeah.

1318
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:13,440
If you want to hear more of us go on the page for another.

1319
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:14,440
We know you won't.

1320
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:15,440
You tight fisted fucks.

1321
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:16,440
Bollocks mate.

1322
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:17,440
Patreon.com forward slash.

1323
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:18,440
What's the button?

1324
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,440
If you did, I'll be fucking splurging more.

1325
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:22,440
What's the button?

1326
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:23,440
No, we thank you.

1327
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:25,440
Thank you so much for your continued support.

1328
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:26,440
Really sorry.

1329
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:30,440
Once again, for no episode last week, that is my bad, but I have children.

1330
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:31,440
Shit happens.

1331
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:32,440
Get over with it.

1332
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:33,440
Motherfuckers.

1333
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:37,440
We had planned or I had planned to come Saturday, but my wife had worked nights.

1334
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:38,440
Plans fell through.

1335
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:41,440
We don't need to explain ourselves to you, man.

1336
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:44,440
We don't need to explain ourselves to you maggots.

1337
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,240
Catch us on the flip side.

1338
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:47,240
We'll see you next week.

1339
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:48,240
Patrons.

1340
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:49,880
We'll see you in fucking five minutes.

1341
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:50,880
See you later.

1342
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:51,880
Oh, my force be with you.

1343
01:00:51,880 --> 01:01:11,220
Pump it up, Pilot Rock.
