We've started haven't ya?
Hello.
We're back.
Start off with some huge apologies for no episode last week.
Yeah.
Probably should have, I was thinking about it on the way here, we probably should have
released like a Patreon episode.
We did.
I mean, released a Patreon episode just to upload something, a previous one that we'd
just done or something.
Oh, I see what you mean.
So we had something really bad that we've missed a week now.
It's made me feel sad, but you know, life gets in the way sometimes and that's just
what happened unfortunately.
So massive apologies for that.
But we're back and that is the way the cookie crumbles, but it's fine.
It's okay.
We're here.
We didn't really want to do an episode in between of, like, because obviously we've
just done the Star Wars celebration.
So I didn't want to have an episode of not talking about that because I just didn't know
what to talk about.
I feel like this is going to fill the episode.
Yes.
Ash hasn't recovered.
I haven't recovered.
From our one day stint.
Very, very tiring.
A lot of walking.
Maybe just my excitement is what mentally drained me.
He was like a fucking, the ADHD was there.
It was shining brightly because he's fucking screaming out in these crowds.
It was embarrassing.
We're all in a queue, hurried up like beasts.
And then they're letting a couple of the queues in and they're obviously excited.
They're screaming, they're running in with their lightsabers aloft.
They're saying, stop running over the megaphones.
But then you've got another guy bowling around the front of the queues.
How long have you waited for this?
You're so close, you can almost taste it.
He's waving his arms around.
He's like, you've been waiting for this.
Like fucking running into a war.
This is what you want.
It was like Braveheart giving his pre-war speech.
How can we not scream?
You just told us not to run.
Telling people to just casually walk inside after you've just been gassing them up and
then release them.
It's absolute bollocks.
It was great.
It was a fantastic day.
I had a great time.
Oh, it was so good.
Yeah, I still feel it though.
I still feel pain.
There's a lot of walking and I'm not an old man, but I'm a broken man.
So standing up for too long hurts my back.
I was tired, man.
When we got home, I was tired.
It was a fucking tiring day, wasn't it?
There was a lot.
I don't know if anyone's listening that's been to the XL in London, but it's like a
shopping center, isn't it?
It's a weird place.
Yeah, that's why I described it as like a shopping precinct that you walk through in
a straight line and loads of warehouses attached to it.
Yeah, and then the celebrations was in them warehouses, but I don't know how many times
we walked up and down the length of that fucking place, but it was a lot.
It was a hell of a lot.
Yeah, no real goal.
We're just bowling around looking at stuff.
But yeah, it was tiring.
I ended up managing to take home a nice migraine with me, one which I haven't had for quite
a while.
I moaned about my head hurting for quite some time and when I got home, it just combusted
and I was like, this is a fully fledged migraine.
This is death.
Yeah, so I must sleep.
Yeah, it was a struggle.
And yeah, I'm still recovering, man.
I was in bed early the night after and the night after.
They fuck you up, man.
They fuck you up.
They call it an aura after you have the actual migraine and you're still fucked.
Yeah, that's probably what it is.
I'm still feeling it, bro.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they can last for a while.
So yeah, I still feel a little bit, my whole body's aching and stuff.
I don't feel unwell, but I just feel like bleh.
I feel like I wanted to do more days, but I don't think I could physically do it or
financially.
I don't think either of them things were viable.
The only way I could financially do it is if the spending that we done on the first
day, that was like, we'll set one day out for spending and then the rest is just, you
know, looking at stuff.
I'll throw a quick spoiler out there.
I think that between the two of us, we spent nearly a grand.
It was silly money.
It was too much money.
We shouldn't be allowed.
It's too much money that has led to spending even more money.
Yeah, same with me as well.
We're going to talk about that.
It's so much.
I told you on the day that I am, it's something about my financial sensibility where I am
very astute with my money.
I won't spend money.
But as soon as I start spending money, it just pisses out everywhere.
Up to like maybe an hour and a half before we left, I'd only spent 25 quid.
And then boom, 330 quid later in one stall.
And that's continued.
That's carried on.
I'm exactly the same.
I've got a spending hangover.
I'm exactly the same.
So I don't know if anyone else is like that.
But yeah, I'm pretty astute.
Well, look at us with Pokemon cards.
Fuck me.
I bought a couple of packs the other week, but I ain't spent that much on Pokemon.
Fuck me.
It went nutty, didn't it?
It went nutty.
So, I don't know where to start.
We went, we arrived, we picked a spot to bark at and the day started off terribly because
the parking machine wasn't working and the website was down.
The phone number weren't working.
Weren't sure we was in the right place till a stormtrooper walked past.
I reckon we're in the right gaffe.
We were here.
But yeah, the hotel that we were attached to, there's a hotel attached to the XL and
we spoke to a couple because they were struggling.
It looked like they were struggling to pay for parking as well.
And I was like, oh, what are you lot doing?
And they're like, oh, we're just going to go in the hotel.
You can pay for it in there.
We went, all right, sweet.
So we went in there, bowled up to the front desk and went, oh, we just want to pay for
the parking, mate.
And he was like, oh, how long are you here for?
I said, oh, fucking, I said all day, but let's just pay for the 24 hours.
And he was like, what's your reg?
I give him the reg and he was like, you're done, mate.
I went, what, you don't want to pay for anything?
He's like, no, no, you're all right.
You're on the system.
Now, I don't know if he did that because he was scared, because he was a small person
or if it was just what they were doing for that day because there was a fucking queue
behind us.
Now, if they were all like, you know what I mean?
Were they getting in for free or was he going, yeah, that's 50 quid, please?
I think we're just lucky that we were the first to ask.
So he probably thought we was going to be like an enigma.
We was just going to be a one and done, but little did he know that it's just going to
be floods of people going in there going, the machine's not working.
Maybe it's because we was wearing the What's the Buttons t-shirt.
So we looked semi-important.
Oh, they're celebrities.
I don't know them, but they're famous.
Can I just quickly say that, yes, we wore our What's the Buttons t-shirts and they went
down a storm.
Someone took a picture of Ash with his t-shirt.
It's like a fucking celebrity.
It was so strange to watch.
It was so odd.
Yeah, we had quite a few people stop us and I see a lot of people like murmuring in my
peripheral.
It was weird, man.
It's like that awkward thing.
You know when you see someone that you recognise from TV, but you can't remember who they are
or what their name is.
I fucking know him.
I know him.
They're doing that, but just presuming we're celebrities because we've got matching, clearly,
merchandise things.
Yeah, we're not.
It's clearly us because I look basically the same as the avatar that's created, as does
Reece.
I am also wearing a baseball cap.
He is also wearing a wooly hat.
We essentially look exactly the same.
Yeah, it's great.
So yeah, it was fairly obvious it was us.
There are people looking, thinking they're celebrities, but I don't know who they are
celebrities.
It worked.
It was cool.
It was a good little feint that we'd done.
It was good.
It was a bob and a weave.
I liked it.
But yeah, it was great.
We turned up.
We jumped the...
We didn't jump the train.
We jumped on a train.
I taught Reece how to tap in and out with his bank card.
I don't get public transport like trains and stuff.
I'm so blind to it.
So we got there.
We come off.
And I was going, Star Wars Celebration this way.
It was a little Boba Fett who was telling his mum that we were famous.
I was like, we're not kiddo, but not yet anyway.
Let's hope we don't get famous because that's not for me.
But nevertheless, yeah, shouting Star Wars Celebration this way.
We went there.
We queued.
And then that was it for the whole day.
We just queued.
The whole day we were just queuing.
Queues, queues, queues, and even more queues.
Yeah, we went through a metal detector, didn't we?
We were...
You got snagged.
This is what happened.
I had the bag on me because I figured I didn't want to wear the bag because obviously it
covers the entire logo of what's the buttons.
But I thought, no, let's be smart here because realistically, Ash is going to have it on
show and someone needs to have a fucking bag.
So I took the bag with me and then, yeah, just before we entered, there's security.
And naturally, they check your bag.
On the desk, there's a laminated sheet of the prohibited items, two of which are battery
packs and e-cigarettes.
You took a greengrocer's with you.
Of which I had both in the bag, right?
So I put my bag on the desk and then the guy just stared at me.
I was like, all right, I'll start getting shit out then.
Now I knew that these items were prohibited.
So I just left them in the bag, pulled out my hoodie and then started waving a banana
in his face.
And that seemed to confuse him.
And he sent me on my way.
It confused me.
Look around, I'm just waving a banana in this security guy's face.
Banana, punnet of fucking grapes and strawberries.
That took some fruit with me.
I didn't know what the crack was.
A random onion.
It was ridiculous that we thought that there was only going to be one shop in there.
There was some green stuff.
The entire thing was fucking shops.
Milk shakes.
In this celebration, it was all fucking stalls selling shit.
Harry Bow.
I just want to point out the first store that we went to was selling Assassin's Creed merchandise.
It really threw me off guard.
A dead goldfish.
Yeah, we're not in yet.
So he's gone through the metal detector.
I'm just standing there watching because, you know, I got in scot-free.
I'm waving my banana.
Yeah, I'm thinking, why is he waving a banana?
Someone else is waving light savers.
Wave waving a bunch of bananas.
So we don't know how we're getting in.
So we're just like, is this the entrance?
Are we done?
Are we in now?
We walked into a fuck-off big warehouse with loads of little fencing put up.
Fucking huge warehouse.
I've never seen anything like it.
Yeah, it was big.
It was fucking massive.
I know a guy who's in a box there.
And he said he boxed so late that there were sweepers coming out last year.
Anyway, nevertheless, we got us down to the end.
But we didn't know whether we was going to be at the end end or if there was four or
five rows in front of us or to the side of us.
How are they going to let people in?
But yeah, soon filled up.
We sat about for or stood about for about an hour and a half or so.
And then yeah, the floodgates opened and we were in.
And we didn't know what to do because there's no light.
All these people going in screaming, but we don't know what they're seeing.
What is it they're looking at?
What are they going to?
There's no fucking signs.
None of it makes sense.
I was pointing out there's there's no one saying down this way, down this way, you fucking
sweaty nerds, you fat bricks, come down here and spend your money.
There's no one doing that.
Everyone's just running in a direction.
Yeah, but these people probably have been to these things before.
So I have an understanding.
We're just sweaty bitches.
We're just running around looking at shit, not really knowing what's going on.
So we stumbled upon the first thing we stumbled upon was the official merchandise store.
So we banged ourselves straight in that queue.
We got in a queue.
We started speaking to a guy called Jeff.
His name wasn't Jeff, but we named him Jeff just because we never got his name and he
looked like Jeff.
Great guy.
He fixed, he fixes F15s.
American Air Force.
For the American Air Force.
He's also going to a Pokemon event this weekend there.
So shout out Jeff.
I believe so if he's listening.
Very, very surreal experience.
He's a very nice guy.
But I can't even remember that he had an accent.
I know he did.
He was definitely American.
But I just can't remember it.
But he, we were talking about Funkos.
We were showing him, he was showing us his Funko collection worth 25 grand.
Yeah, he had over 500 Funko Pops.
Fucking loads of stuff.
He was a cool guy, man.
And yeah, he was our friend in the queue.
Once we got into the Star Wars Celebration official store.
It was one of the shittiest stores I think I've ever been in in my life and I couldn't
have got out there quicker.
Yeah, it took about 45 minutes to get in there.
We asked Jeff for advice because we missed out on the pre-order tickets, hyper speed,
fucking line bollocks so you can get in there quick.
And when I looked into it, people were saying, oh, you won't be able to get there.
So if you want to get in the store, you'll have to queue up for, you know, if you're
going for four days, you'll have to allocate a day just to queueing up to get in there.
Well, that wasn't the case because our boy Jeff said, look, we got an hour in this queue
and then we bang ourselves over to the Funko store.
Get in there rapidly.
Trust.
That was better jarring.
So yeah, we got in there and it was just fucking expensive t-shirts and jackets and loads
of bollocks.
I'm not interested.
Where's the toys?
I'm an adult.
I want toys, not clothes.
This is exactly what you expect a merchandise store to be and we weren't happy with it.
We didn't want it.
But no, but we would have got some pins or badges, but they put them behind the fucking
9,000 strong queue.
Queuing up to look at some badges.
Yeah, that was a bit fucking annoying.
So yeah, we suck that off.
I reckon we broke a world record for people entering a store and leaving like a Comic-Con
or something.
Like queuing for that length of time, walking in and going, what the fuck and walking out.
Yeah.
There was nothing that we was interested in whatsoever.
And the times for the Funko store were completely out of whack.
Everyone...
Hold on.
We haven't got there yet.
We walked out.
No, no, we haven't.
As we walked out, we found the tattooists.
A lot of tattooists in a line, all their names plastered in lights behind them, all obviously
well-known tattooists.
Looked for a couple of their work.
Yeah, looked like double decent.
And I said, you know, depending how long it takes and what the price is, I might get a
little Darth Vader on me.
Not for them fucking prices.
250 pounds.
For a Darth Vader the size of a 2p pence.
It was fucking extortionate.
Well, I saw a book filled with Vader's.
I went, there you go, Prince.
There's some fucking Vader's for you, lad.
And then looked over and see the price tag for them.
250 quid.
Absolutely fucking not.
See you later.
We legged it.
Fuck that.
And then to the next thing, which is probably the highlight of my experience when I looked
back in hindsight.
It wasn't that great at the time, but when I looked back, it was the best.
So there was an emperor.
There was an emperor sitting in a throne, getting pictures taken with him.
Stormtroopers usher you through and then a guy takes the picture for you with your phone.
There's a little booth next to it with a guy in there.
So I assumed you'd have to pay.
You have to pay for every other fucking thing in this gaff.
So I said, hello there, sir.
How much for a photo of the emperor?
He said, oh, no, it's free.
Just got a queue up.
I was like, kushty.
So I was like standing in front of the entrance where the stormtrooper was, just having a
look at other people, getting photos, seeing how it all works and all that bollocks.
There's a little queue next to this booth to our left, where obviously they're queuing
to get in, get in to have their photo of the emperor.
Out of nowhere, not even like a question was asked towards us.
I heard a lady say to her boyfriend, oh my God, we've queued up in the wrong queue.
That's the queue right there.
I'm thinking, is she talking about us?
If that's the case, we're fucking next in the queue, mate.
So all of a sudden people started queuing behind us.
They've left the queue that they've been queuing in for God knows how long and joined in behind
us.
The stormtrooper rushed me through and then bang, photo job done off our fucking pots.
Great, wasn't it?
I completely forgot about that as well.
We just made a queue.
The thing is, absolutely everything in this place required queuing.
So the main negative of the entire day, of which there weren't that many, was that it
was so unholy in terms of organisation.
No one knew what the fuck was going on.
There seemed to be no staff anywhere to help you out.
And there was signs for queues, but no actual gridded area showing you where to queue, just
a sign for whatever it was.
But it didn't even say queue, it would just say like Funko store.
There were a lot of places where you had to queue but you couldn't queue until a certain
time so there was no queuing allowed unless you had a fucking hyper speed pass.
So people were like, well, we don't know where we're going to have to queue, when we're allowed
to queue, so we'll queue over here near where we think the queue is going to go.
And it was just creating queues of people who shouldn't be queuing in a place where
they don't know if they're supposed to be.
Yeah, there was just queues everywhere and it was like a lawless land.
Because like you'll find out later on, we threw the arguments around of, well, if it's
not an actual official queue, why the fuck am I standing at the back of it?
Well, I think essentially that's what happened next because we went from there, we bowled
up and we saw the Funko store and they were like, right, yeah, here's a queue along a
wall, no one's supposed to be queuing.
Everyone told us 12 o'clock is when the queuing started, but it was actually one o'clock.
So you had people that were queuing up at like half 11 ready to get in the queue, the
actual queue that wasn't happening until one.
And a lot of people were kicking off at the Funko staff because they were saying it was
... maybe it changed, I don't know, I don't think it would have changed, but for some
reason everyone thought it was 12 o'clock.
Yeah, there's a reason everyone thought it was the same time, isn't it?
There was a lot of sheepish behaviour going on here.
Everyone was just following everyone else.
Yeah, so I was listening in to these people talking to the Funko staff and they were like,
oh yeah, well, you know, they're queuing along the wall and they shouldn't be.
That queue's going to be abolished so they can't queue there.
On the grounds of health and safety because it was queuing out of the fucking celebration
into the hallways.
So it's like, well, fuck it because obviously you get event exclusives, Comic Con exclusive,
celebration exclusive, Funko pops and that's what everyone's after because you buy them
and then people put them up for fucking extortionate prices like they did.
Jar Jar Binks R2D2 and another droid in a double pack were the ones on offer and before
they'd even sold, people were putting them up on eBay for 80 quid for Jar Jar and 150
for the droids.
They were worth about 15 and 30 quid retrospectively.
So yeah, we thought we would have a bit of that, but we'll be keeping them.
So let's go find the end of this fucking queue.
So we walked up this wall outside and joined the back of this queue in the middle of the
shopping mall and we're standing there for all of, I want to say about 30 seconds before
I thought, why are we queuing in a queue that's not a queue?
Let's go and stand wherever the fuck we like because it's not a queue.
So we pulled up back to the front, saw an opening, saw a weak link and took it.
I stood next to these people.
Reese was playing all coy.
He was pretending to be on his phone, trying to be all like, yeah, you know, casual with
it.
I was like, get over here you bean.
And then I heard the dreaded, who the fuck is that guy?
Who's that guy?
Is he just pushing?
I saw, no.
She was like, are you with them?
Pointing to the people in front of me.
I was, let's think quickly.
So I said, no, no, no, you can go in front of me if you want.
I'm just standing here.
And it was working.
It was working until, you know, we queued for a couple of minutes.
Thought we got away with it.
And then we got to the corner where this non-existent queue snaked around and they hailed down a
security guard.
Hey, them guys pushed in behind us.
Get them out of the queue.
That cunt had no fucking reason to rat us out like that.
What a bitch.
The pair of them.
Mother and daughter, whoever it fucking was.
You bitches.
It was so unnecessary because there was no one fucking behind them.
They weren't inconveniencing anyone.
The bitch.
Fucking so annoying.
Because then, yeah, it all kicked off.
Yeah, so I had some words with the security guard.
We had a bit of back and forth until Reece said, leave it, brother.
It's enough.
I know you're rich.
We're wearing the merch.
We don't want a bad name.
Get out of here.
Yeah, no.
But you had a good point though because the geezer was saying, bearing in mind, we've just
heard all the people from the Funko store themselves say we're abolishing that fake
queue because it's on the grounds of health and safety, which makes complete sense because
it would have breached health and safety having queues going out of the actual venue.
You can't do anything.
So we've heard them say they're going to get rid of that queue.
So Ash is right in saying, right, well, I'm not going to fucking queue in this queue that
I've just heard is about to be split apart.
So I'm going to go to the very back of the official queue.
So that queue was closed because it was too full.
So all we've done is skip the unofficial queue that isn't a queue that's about to get
broken up and then gone to the back of the official queue.
And when we did get ratted out, that security guard was like, no, you've got to go to the
back of that queue.
And we went, well, what queue?
That queue.
And Ash was like, what?
That unofficial queue that's about to get split up, I'll go to the back of that, shall
I?
It was just fucking stupid.
I said, mate, there is no fucking queues.
I said, this is the only queue that you can queue in.
And then, yeah, it was just, we've said queue far too many times.
This fucking give me the hump.
The Funko store itself look wank though.
If I'm perfectly honest, it looks shit.
I just don't understand the snakey behavior.
You know, yeah, granted we pushed in, but who is it hurting?
No one in reality.
So yeah, fuck you.
You may be wondering why Ash keeps doing an American accent.
There was a shit ton of Americans there because the Star Wars celebration doesn't happen in
the UK very often.
It is a, it happens a lot in America.
So a lot of Americans traveled over to the UK.
I've got nothing against Americans, love Americans.
But yeah, that woman just was just, just, listen, I understand where she's coming from.
But at the same point, if someone done that and I was standing there, and I would have
clocked his eye and I would have gone, good on you son.
You spotted an entry and you took it.
Yeah, all I would do is say, like I'd start speaking to them.
I'd either pretend that they're with me or I'd just start chatting to them.
And I'd either say, get behind me because I ain't missing out on my shit because you
wanted to butt in.
Or I'd say, you can stay there.
I'll cover you.
But when we get in there, I'm fucking having first dibs on anything.
Simple as that.
There was no need for her to rat us out.
And then, yeah, we didn't get in.
We didn't get in.
So we fucked off elsewhere.
Yeah, so we wandered about endlessly for the next eight hours.
Just shops everywhere, man.
There was, because I was really expecting it to just be purely Star Wars, but it was
a haven for fucking everything because obviously my big thing is Funko Pops.
And you couldn't fucking move for Funko Pops, man.
There was loads of people selling them, fucking thousands of them.
And they were all different ones.
There was shit loads of signed Funkos, rare Funkos, cheap Funkos, ones that I didn't even
know existed.
I fucking signed Stan Lee in a cabinet.
Signed by Stan Lee, not some random fucking fake thing.
COA and everything.
Oh, great.
Yeah, it was all just pop culture stuff, wasn't it?
Obviously, mainly Star Wars, but then just everything else.
I didn't like the Hasbro store in the corner.
That was fucking stupid.
I was like, well, this is where the problem is now, isn't it?
This is why I continue to spend money after the matter of fact, which is now, which is
what I presumed it was.
So that was the first place we actually went when we walked in because we walked and we
walked and we walked.
And the first thing I saw was Hasbro, which is what I collect, Black Series, Star Wars
figures, but they're all just, I was like, where's the prices?
They're all just in cabinets.
But what it was is more of a showcase, a showpiece.
Yeah, you couldn't buy anything.
It was all directing you to their website.
Yeah, basically just saying, well, here's what's coming.
Look what we've got.
Have a look.
Yeah.
So yeah, that's it.
But it took up the whole corner of a fucking warehouse.
It was huge.
And rightly so because it's top quality and I love it.
It was good, but it was sort of like, why are you fucking showing me this stuff?
I can't actually walk away with any of it.
How annoying.
Just put a poster up.
Yeah.
So you took, well, we both bought something from the, we found a stall.
I found one of the figures to knock off my list, which was Darth Maul from the Clone Wars.
Makes him my second Darth Maul figure.
And I said, excuse me, sir, how much for this?
And he said, oh, that's £25.
I said, Ooh, I'll give that some thought for a few minutes.
And this fucking cunt.
Oh, look, it's a Damon Targaryen signed Funko pop.
How much for this, mate?
250 quid.
He goes, yeah, I'll take it.
Gasp's around the stall.
I'm not joking.
I think there was a guy from like New Zealand or, or sat in behind us.
He went, cool.
Fucking hell.
Just like shocked that it just dropped 250.
Just bang like that.
It was just no thought process.
I didn't look at it.
Well, I looked at it.
I didn't hold it.
I didn't even see if it had a certificate of authenticity.
It didn't, but we'll, we'll cover that later.
I just see Damon Targaryen.
He's my favourite character out of House of the Dragon.
So yeah, I was like, I'm having that.
We dropped the bones and a smegle.
Oh yeah.
Let's not forget the smegle.
It was more expensive than the figure I was already humming and ahhing about.
Yeah.
The gay, I just asked him, I said, how much is it?
He says 200.
Because basically Mark's got himself into collecting signed Funko pops.
And I was like, I want to, I want to taste of that.
And yeah, it was, it was a, it was the first signed Funko that I see there that had any
relevance to my life.
And yeah, when he said 250, there was no hesitation.
I just went, all right.
And yeah, Ash isn't lying.
For some reason, all these people that were around this store and there were a lot of
people around this store, it's silence.
It's just gas.
And then went silent.
And it wasn't embarrassing, but it's only a little stall, but the geezer, he wanted,
he wanted to take my number because I was going to leave them with him.
Cause I was like, there ain't no way I'm spending this money and walking around the fucking,
it was, it was like being packed in a sardine can.
There was just so many people.
What was he called it?
Nuts to bucks.
It was fucking ram-o.
We was nuts to bucks.
So I was like, already walked past one guy, fucking dropped a massive Funko on the floor.
I was like, hey.
Oh yeah, he did.
You got like, ooooh.
I was like, I ain't, I ain't having that.
So I was like, I'll leave them with you.
And he was like, oh, I need to take your number.
So rather than letting me call it out to him and he'll write it down.
No, he made me come into the middle of the store and fucking write it on a notepad.
So I'm in the middle of everyone now writing my number down, looking all fucking important.
And then I thought he was just going to hand me the card machine.
I type, no, no, no, no, no.
He types a fucking summing.
That's 270, no, 280 pounds please sir.
As loud as he fucking could.
I was like, all right.
Here's my card.
This is gold pen.
Sign it with this.
There you go lad.
See you later.
Thanks.
And then just walked off.
And then.
And then I was like, can I leave my, can I leave my Darth Maul with his stuff please?
This whole bit of shit as he tossed it behind his shoulder and landed on the pile.
It was fantastic.
I basically, I moistened the fucking hinges of the wallet.
I went, that's that done.
You always got to get the first one out.
Bang.
He loosened it.
So that was 280 bones down for you.
25 down for me.
And the next stall, they missed out on a little sale from me, a little Bo Katana.
Bo Katana I was looking at.
Pick the figure up.
Guy bumped into me.
It was like, sorry, food got in the way there.
I was too interested in eating.
That fat prick.
I was like, there's no worries sir.
There's no worries.
He owned the stall or whatnot.
He was just standing by all the expensive shit, eating fucking nachos.
Just smearing his fucking dirty fingers on everything.
I picked this Bo Katana up.
I was like, I'm probably going to have this.
I was wandering around the stall looking to see if there's anything else I'd be interested
in.
And then he shouted over to the people who was also working on the stall.
He's got a figure.
And like pointed at me and I could see him out my peripheral and I was thinking, I fucking
know I've got a figure, mate.
I'm going to pay for it when I've decided if I want to buy anything else.
But the way he's fucking done it, it was like I was going to try and sneak off and steal
it.
So that pissed me off instantly.
So I've inspected the box a bit and I was like, you know what?
This box is slightly damaged.
So I thought, fuck this.
So I just put it back and I wandered off.
And as I wandered off, I looked back to see this guy and he's having a fucking panic attack.
He's looking around like a meerkat thinking that I've fucking run away with the figure
and he's looking, trying to find out because he doesn't know what one I had or nothing.
So he don't know if I stole anything or not.
Fuck him.
Yeah, he's a fucking prick.
That's what you lost yourself a sale, dickhead.
Suck your mother.
And there we go.
So that was that guy.
Onto the next.
The next thing was for the hundred and seventieth time in 40 minutes that we'd been there,
he was like, I need food.
I need food.
Starving.
Absolutely starving.
So we compromised on a little, uh, no, don't make it sound like I was being greedy.
I was looking after the both of us on this one because you was happy to just fucking
continue and I would never have eaten all day.
You had a fucking migraine.
So I said, no, no, no, before it gets too tasty, let's, let's, let's exit out of here
and have some food, get something in our gullets and then we can crack on, get something in
us.
So we did.
We went and went to a noodle bar and Ash had his first ever taste of katsu curry.
He loved it.
Fucking lovely.
It was decent.
Delicious.
I never thought delicious.
I never thought, um, battered bread, crumbed chicken.
It's panko bread crumbs.
Yeah.
Well, whatever it is, I didn't think that in a little, little pot of curry and rice
would be as delicious as it was.
So yeah, it was quite spicy.
Warm, warm the old cockles.
Not that it needed warming.
So it was fucking well in there.
Yeah, it was, it was sweltering in there and then we ate our food and then we fucking trundled
on back into, into star Wars land.
We trundled off to find more toys.
This is essentially what we did all day.
Funkos, just Funkos, Funkos, Funkos, Funkos.
I'd speak about, I've got a little, a Lord of the Rings plaque, one of 5,000 made, which
I could have very easily stolen, but I decided not to because I have a heart and morals.
You're not a scumbag.
I could have easily nicked it.
I'd love to know how much stuff in there actually got pinched because there was just so much
going on.
So it did get nicked, didn't it?
Did you see the article come out?
No.
Oh mate, there's loads of merch got nicked there and they found one of the geezers who
nicked it in a costas coffee, dressed as a stormtrooper, hiding with a bunch of Ewoks.
Fucking hell no, surely not.
I had to Google it.
Oh mate, that's fucking hilarious.
So scummy behavior, but it was funny to read.
A funny picture was painted indeed.
But yeah, so I just, I was just on the lookout for black series figures.
I was just trying to tick off some names on my list of which I did in the end.
I did, oh no, what about the, so obviously to get into these big reveals, these big events
where new shows and movies are being revealed, you have to either book the tickets or queue
up or whatnot.
But I'm not in the business of just trying to find out stuff 20 minutes for everyone
else.
I'm not bothered.
So I was walking by, there was a crowd gathering near a curtain where a guy was like peeking
through the curtain and live streaming what was going on at this fucking big event.
And he was holding his phone up for all to see.
So we're all crowded around this guy on the big reveal of Ahsoka Tana.
I'm like jumping up and down with these nerds.
It's frawn, it's frawn.
And there's all gassing each other.
It was such a great fucking time.
Then the security guard come out then he was like, all right, can we step away from this
please?
So we've got what we came for dickhead and we moved on.
It was very cool.
It was very, very clever.
There was just two people there fucking streaming it on their phones.
I was like, oh, so we don't even have to pay for this shit.
It's great.
He was getting gassed and you don't even like Star Wars.
Yeah, it was good, man.
It was good.
I liked it.
So yeah, we just continued on our journey to find more stuff, more stuff to buy.
And I ticked off a fair few names, but yeah, it all started with a quite a big stall.
And there was quite a few things I was interested in mainly a Calcast, a Cal Kestis first edition
Black Series, which comes in a white box.
That was like, I think it was like 80 or 90 quid.
It was 80 quid.
And, and you, and you're not one for talking people out of things.
You're just a do it guy.
Just fucking get it, you pussy.
So just spend the money.
Get it, you fucking pussy.
Don't worry about anything else.
Just fucking get it.
And I was like, I don't really want to, you know, I want it, but I don't want it that
bad.
And he just kept pressurizing me and pressurizing me to the point where I didn't want to buy
anything.
After a while he fucked off and then I bought everything.
Yeah.
Basically.
We were standing at this stall and bless him while, while actually contemplating over this
Cal Kestis.
And this kid come up to us out of nowhere and obviously, um, very excited kid and clearly
a massive star wars fan.
So we just come up to us and started talking.
Um, and he was talking to Ash about, about Black Series.
I mean, this kid was saying how, um, he's only come like to get one thing.
Um, but now we've seen all of these Black Series and seen Ash like with a, with a fucking
handful of them, he was like, ah, now I just want to buy them all.
So, but he's like, but I, but I shouldn't be spending the money.
So I just leant over his shoulder and I just went, spend it.
Do it.
Spend it.
I went, spend the money.
I said, how long are you here for?
I said, how many days?
And he went, oh, I'm just here for the, for one day.
I said, well, go on then.
I said, you ain't going to be able to do this for a while.
I said, just fucking spend the money.
And then I'm pretty sure I see him walking around with a couple of bagfuls of whatever
it was I've just enticed him.
He was fucking dressed to kill as well.
He had a banging hat on like a fucking crocodile.
Yeah, crocodile Dundee.
He looked like Indiana Jones's dad.
He looked like a fucking Pokemon trainer.
Yeah, he did.
He was ready.
And I would, there was no way in hell that I was going to suppress that.
I was going to encourage that spend.
You fucking get what you need to get lad.
And encourage the spend you did.
So I was looking at a couple of figures.
So I settled for a Cal Kestis Jedi survivor, which I was happy with.
And what pushed me over the edge was there was a whole fucking rack of them.
And next time I looked over, there's all but one left.
Don't get me wrong.
They were restocking them, but I wasn't aware of this.
So I panicked and grabbed one.
And when you fucked off, it just enticed me to just buy everything.
I didn't feel pressure.
Now I was free to do as I pleased.
And I saw Darth Revan, which I was interested in, but I was like, no, no, I don't need
Darth Revan.
Don't worry about that.
I saw Cad Bane, which he was telling me to get, which is very cool.
It's probably my favorite thing I bought there.
You're welcome.
Yeah.
Thanks for that.
Very, very fucking cool.
I'll tell you the ones I picked up because I've marked them off on my list.
So I picked up just from that store alone, Cad Bane, Cal Kestis and Darth Revan.
And I think I picked up some more, but they weren't on my list.
So they're just extras.
But nevertheless, I bought, I bought Cad Bane and bought Cal Kestis.
And the woman next to me, she was like, did you just buy that?
Did you just buy that Cad Bane?
I was like, yeah, I did.
And she was like, fuck's sake.
I wanted that.
He's my favorite.
Makes you want it even more.
I'm sorry about that.
And then I looked over at the corner of my eye.
So I see a woman pick up Darth Revan and Darth Revan was the one I picked up earlier and
put down.
And you know, I was like, I can get this as and when I'm sure it'll pop up again.
I don't want to go silly with my money.
You know, let's not, let's not go crazy.
And because she wanted it, I was like, right now I really want it.
And I've already bought these other figures.
So I was just lingering about watching her and she was proper umming and ah-ing over
it.
And when she put that down, I swooped in and I fucking grabbed it.
And now I really wanted it.
And then I grabbed Bosque as well.
I remember now I found another one that wasn't on my list.
I left the store and I went and stood there on my phone, lent up against some barrier
thing because I weren't interested.
I took the bag off and took my, turned my back to the crowd so everyone could see what's
the buttons in all its glory.
And I just sat there scrolling on my phone and bearing in mind, I left Ash with him contemplating
over whether to spend 80 quid on a fucking calcestus.
And then my, my, my persuasion just not working.
I was like, fucking this guy's just going to come out with one thing.
I was like, meh.
So I was sitting there scrolling on my phone and I turned around after like probably like
15, 20 minutes and then he comes walking up to me fast as you like, two bags in his hand
and then just breezes past my face and goes, I went mental.
So what I bought from that store was Bosque, 50 quid.
I bought Cadbane, 70 quid.
I bought calcestus, 24 quid.
I bought Darth Revan, 40 quid.
And I bought Canaan Jaros, 30 quid.
Just from that one store.
Just a sack of fucking toys in my bag.
And I was getting anxious.
I just fucking went mental with my money.
Naughty, naughty boy.
Yeah.
Trust me when I say them fucking price stickers got peeled off before I got home.
The trouble is with my wife is she knows me enough and she knows enough about what I'm
interested in to know when I buy stuff and what stuff is kind of worth.
So when she was like, what did you get?
And I was like, oh, you know, let's play a game.
Why don't you pick?
She knew exactly what the really expensive one was.
Of course.
She was like, isn't that the one that was out the Mandalorian that got removed because
of her naughty tweets?
I was like, yeah.
Oh yeah.
That was the one you had to go back for, wasn't it?
Yeah.
So I'd spent a lot of money on that stall and I thought that was me done until I saw
Cara Dune, which I've just explained, but for those that don't know, is in the Mandalorian
and she got removed from Disney for some questionable tweets, which I can't remember what they were.
But yeah, so she basically all the figures of her were essentially canceled.
All the pre-orders were canceled.
And yeah, once they're gone, they're gone now.
You know, there's not going to be any more.
That was 90 quid.
I only took cash.
So there I ran around looking for a cash machine and promptly handed over the money.
I asked him to put it behind for me and then he lost it.
Yeah.
We went back to that stall to get hold of it and yeah, the gaze was like, you got that
figure that I put in the back for this man here.
And yeah, he was like, picking up any fucking bag around him.
It's not there.
Then you got the whole stall looking for this, looking for this fucking figure.
No one knows where it is.
I'm like, oh, he's been had over.
Oh, we're going to have a scrap.
I thought they'd sold it, but it was there.
We got it.
So yeah, that was the end of my spending.
It had to be because failing that, the bills weren't getting paid.
So that was, I put a button in it and then we went, but before that you, uh, went mental
nearly.
Did you?
Well, I nearly did that Funko cabinet.
Oh right.
Yeah.
That one, I forgot about that.
There was this fun, there was this probably, it was probably the biggest Funko stall that
was there.
Um, there was just fucking loads of stuff and straight away my eyes saw, um, a Pippin.
Uh, yeah, yeah.
No, it was, no, it was a Mary, um, from Lord of the Rings.
And I was like, all right, there's some, there's going to be some cool stuff here.
Uh, never picked it up, which in hindsight I should have done because that was a decent
deal.
But in the middle of all these Funkos was a cabinet.
And normally when you see Funkos in the cabinet, they tend to be expensive.
If nerd base has taught me anything, the things in a cabinet are the expensive shit.
So straight away in the middle is a Stan Lee signed by the man himself.
There's no prices on anything.
Right.
At the top of this cabinet is Ellie and Joel, obviously from the last of us.
Now they are fucking difficult to come by.
They are expensive and they are fucking annoying.
Well, there was a price tag on Joel and they wanted 200 quid for him.
And I went mental.
I went, he ain't worth that.
I said, there ain't no fucking way in hell.
It's not signed.
So they ain't worth 200 quid.
It's expensive.
It's an expensive pop, but it ain't 200 quid.
And Ellie didn't have a price tag.
I was like, I'm not even going to fucking bother.
But then at the bottom was a signed Gimli and a signed Samwise.
And obviously Lord of the Rings is my fucking, that's my jam.
That's tippity top.
That's number one for me.
So I was like, because I'm also trying to collect all the signed Lord of the Rings Funkos,
which is a very, very expensive feat that I'm trying to, trying to achieve here.
And obviously they didn't have prices on them.
So after curing for about fucking half an hour, trying to get this cunt's attention,
I said, oh, excuse me, mate.
How much is that?
How much is the signed Gimli and the Samwise?
And he didn't know.
Well, he was the geezer you went to to find out the prices.
So I was like, all right, well, this ain't a good crack here.
So he turns to the other geezer that's on the stall.
He goes, that Gimli in the cabinet is signed.
How much is that?
And the Samwise, he didn't know either.
He comes waddling over.
Um, um, oh, oh, let me think.
That's not a good sign because now I know you're just trying to fuck me over.
If you don't, if you've got shit in the cabinet, Ash, you know how much that shit is worth
in the cabinet because you put it in a cabinet.
Correct.
The fact that this man didn't know how much this was, I was like, right, he's going to
pluck any fucking number out of his asshole.
And sure enough, he did.
He went 250 quid for the Gimli and 250 quid for the Samwise or 400 quid for both of them.
And I went, no, you're right.
I'm fucked off.
And I was fuming for the rest of the day because I know them, I researched them, I'm after
them and they aren't, they aren't worth that.
They're there.
You, you, you don't, you don't pay that for them.
So I was like, he's fucking, he's having me over.
I was like, if I didn't know any better, I would have bought one.
But luckily I didn't.
And funny enough, I've now got a signed Gimli which cost me 42 quid, which is real.
So I've saved myself a load of money there and I've got a signed Sauron as well, which
also cost me, I think 47 quid.
So it's deals on wheels for me.
But yeah, I was just pissed off because that geezer wanted too much money for them Funkos.
He can go fuck himself.
I'll find him elsewhere.
But it was annoying because he had so many cool Funkos there.
But there was just so many people.
There were so many people.
So trying to actually get to the front of the queue to see half of it was just impossible.
So yeah, I think my spending stopped there, you know.
I don't think I actually bought anything else after that.
You did?
Did I?
You bought a certificate of authenticity.
Ah, that was it.
The Daemon Targaryen didn't have a certificate of authenticity.
So in my hastiness to buy it, once we went back after a couple of hours to collect it,
I was panicking because I was like, fuck, whatever it's fake, I've been done over.
Well, so suddenly I'm researching Matt Smith's signature and the signature looks legit.
Right.
It looks like his actual signature, but there's no way a fucking of me just noting.
And it was what the last pass we did the very last pass.
We walked past where everyone's getting all the site, like all the signatures from the
cast of various different things to do with Star Wars.
And lo and behold, right next to it is a Beckett store, which does authentic authentication
on signatures and grading and things like that.
And it said a big sign saying you can get your stuff authenticated now.
I was like, oh shit, all right, well, fucking let's let's queue up and do that.
I didn't wait long.
I spoke to the geezer.
I said, I've got a Funko here that I've bought that's got a signature.
Can I get it like get an authenticity check on it?
And he was like, yeah, it shouldn't be an issue.
I said, it's nothing to do with Star Wars.
And he was like, did you get it from here?
And I went, yeah, yeah.
I said, I've bought it today.
And he turns around to his boss and he went, I've got a guy who wants to get his signature
authenticated.
He's like, it ain't Star Wars, but he says he's bought the Funko from here.
And that geezer fucking made my heart drop to my asshole because he was like, where did
he get it from?
Because if he's got it from that store over there, it's a no go.
But if he's got it from that store over there, we're good.
So I'm looking in the direction where he says no go.
And I'm trying to remember where I fucking bought this Funko from.
Basically I think that whatever store he was pointing to is a rip off or something.
They got some thief for some reason.
There's something going on.
Luckily I didn't get it from whatever store that was.
And funnily enough, the guy that was authenticating my signature for 10 quid said they do a lot
of work with Matt Smith.
They do a lot of authenticating on his signatures.
And he said it's one of the best signatures that he's ever seen Matt Smith do because
he put DT for Damon Targaryen, which apparently is very rare.
And he also put a little smiley face on it, which adds a little bit of uniqueness.
So all in all, I think it actually took about 10, maybe 15 minutes for them to authenticate
the signature for 10 quid.
And then boom, there's your certificate.
There's your little sticker you get on the box.
Off you go.
So that was my worry sorted.
I now have an authenticated Damon Targaryen.
So that's fantastic.
And then that's where my fucking spending stopped other than buying a cheeseburger.
The most expensive cheeseburger I've ever seen.
And it was one of the shittest cheeseburgers I've ever had.
For essentially the smallest piece of meat in between these pathetic squashed buns.
Just a complete waste of money.
But they get you.
They pull your pants down at places like this.
They're like, all right.
Who's hungry?
You are.
Tenner.
Flat rate.
Burger.
Tenner.
Bosch.
And you're like, oh, but I am hungry though.
So I'll fucking pay it because I'm a mug.
That's what they do.
That's how they get you.
But what an experience.
Hold on two seconds.
There's the trash back for you.
That's a nice one.
Nice fragrance to that one.
Bosch.
No, it was a good experience.
I had a good time.
He had a good time.
Just developed quite the headache.
But I don't think, unless what's the buttons takes off, I don't think we'll be going to
the next one in 2025 because it's in Japan.
So I think that might be our one and only Star Wars celebration.
But if it is, it was definitely worth our time.
It's actually quite funny because I was talking to Steph about some like the place that I
would like to visit the most.
And Japan is where I would love to visit the most out of anywhere in the world.
Yeah, it's my number one.
So maybe I will go to fucking Japan because they got some real good sushi over there.
I'll go to Japan, but I don't think I'll be going to Star Wars celebration.
Them prices plus the Japan trip plus the flights.
Oh yeah, but how cool is that though?
Oh, it's confusing enough in England.
I live here.
Yeah, well, it was mega confusing.
It was a very good day.
It was worth it.
I just didn't know what the fuck was going on.
I didn't know who, what was going on where there was a bunch of prisoners screaming at
us.
I don't know what was happening.
I don't know what they were saying.
I didn't really understand it.
I was a bit scared at that point.
And yeah, that was it.
It was as nerdy as you could imagine it would be, but it weren't as smelly as it would be.
It was a great experience.
Really, really good experience.
And I'm happy I've experienced something like that because I've never been to any con, comic
con fucking celebration, whatever.
So yeah, it was nice to see and them, and then prisoners you're talking about there
from and, or they're all dressed up as prisoners and there's all, there's all shouting one
way out.
I think because of this event, I've spent so much money on Funko's since leaving that
event.
I think I've spent like another four, 500 quid.
Yeah.
So my spending has continued also.
So what happened was all the black series in the Hasbro store that I was talking about,
they, they then got announced like the new ones that was coming out and then they got
put up for pre-order on the 11th, I believe.
What's the date today?
It's the 14th.
Yeah.
So on the 11th, some of them went up for pre-order and then on the 12th.
So then, then I went and pre-ordered them basically.
So you know, not only did I buy a lot of Star Wars figures there, I've also pre-ordered
the ones that were announced.
They are as follows, the black series, Jabba the Hutt.
I'm not going to go through the prices because it's just stupid at this point.
Can you give us that price on?
That's 70 quid.
That's the only price you get.
Great.
So that's the Jabba the Hutt.
I also pre-ordered Darth Maul old master version.
That'll be my third Darth Maul.
I also pre-ordered Chrysanthemum, who is a bounty hunter from the book of Boba Fett.
I also pre-ordered Darth Vader.
You would have seen him in the cabinet.
Revenge of the Jedi version.
He's got like red tinge to his armor, which is essentially Revenge of the Jedi, which
is what Return of the Jedi was supposed to be called, but they changed it right at the
last second.
And I also pre-ordered Jesse, the Cologne Commander.
And I think that's it, but it's just silly now at this point.
It needs to be curbed, but I can't fucking stop.
Stop releasing them for 10 minutes, please.
Should we go for mine quick?
Yes, please.
I got the Last of Us triple.
I got Joel, Ellie, and the clicker for 215 quid.
So when that cunt wanted 200 quid just for Joel, I managed to get all three of the fuckers
for 215.
All right, so he can go fuck himself.
That's been paid.
I'm waiting for that turn up.
That should have been here today.
Sauron signed by Salah Baker.
That was 47 quid.
We got Gimli signed by John Rhys Davis for 43 quid.
And then yesterday I got for 75 quid Gollum, Aragon, and Gandalf the White.
Now, Gandalf the White was worth about 50, 60 quid on his own, so that's quite decent.
Paid for all of them.
And then on my watch list, I've got Pippin for 25 quid, Galadriel for 20 quid so far,
Threebeard for 60 quid, a signed Frodo and it's the chase version.
That's for 250 quid.
And then I got a Mary, which has been signed, 220.
Boromir, which has been signed.
Now, this geezer did offer me 240 for that and I didn't accept it because I just didn't
want to pay it, but I might do.
And then I got another Frodo, another chase, which is signed.
But this one's been signed in Glow in the Dark ink, which is quite cool.
So I am tempted.
That's 250.
I got a Nazgul, 30 quid.
There's another Galadriel, a different version for 30 quid.
And then there's a signed Treebeard by John Rhys Davis for 260 at the moment.
So yeah, I'm scared.
Yeah, I mean, that's mental.
That's just mental.
The one that I'm after is Ian McKellen, a signed Gandalf, trying to find, well, not
trying to find one, trying to get one for less than 500 quid is impossible.
Trying to get one that's been authenticated is impossible.
I'm not too comfortable blasting 500 quid on a Funko pop that hasn't been authenticated.
I feel like if you're trying to get something for 500 quid, spend the fucking 20 quid to
authenticate it, then you'll get it.
So it's a bit scary.
Trying to get a signed Legolas, so trying to get Orlando Bloom's signature on a Funko
pop is proven impossible.
Obviously, Saruman's going to be a bit difficult because the geezer's dead.
And then Aragon is impossible.
There ain't any.
So I don't know if he's just never done any signatures, but I can't find his signature
on a Funko pop for the life of me.
So I think that one might be impossible.
But I'm trying.
But the Ian McKellen one, Gandalf's my favorite character from Lord of the Rings.
So I really would love to get one that's signed by him.
And also that geezer has not got long left.
So when he pops his clogs, the price of his signature is going to fucking skyrocket.
And I don't want to be the person who has to pay the price for it.
He's going to be alive forever.
Gandalf the Grey, whatever his name is, Gandalf the White.
He's Gandalf the White.
That's right, Gandalf the White.
He's a fucking powerful wizard, mate.
If he can just hold on a little bit, maybe till next payday or until someone pops one
on eBay that's been authenticated, just give me some more time, please.
All right.
Oh, I also bought two Funko pops today.
What did you get?
I got a Black Chrysanthemum and Cad Bane pop figure.
Nice.
But I got them from a shop.
I didn't get them from online.
And I walked in.
I thought I was getting away with it and Jen went, oh, you've been Smith's.
What did you get the kids?
I was like, ah, it's for me.
Oh, dear.
Oh, God.
So then I bought them a couple of toys.
So that was that, wasn't it?
That was Star Wars Celebration.
We come away with absolutely zero Star Wars Celebration merch.
Nothing to mark the day.
No, nothing to actually mark the day.
Oh, we got our tickets.
Every single thing that we bought, that we come away with, could have been purchased
outside of that celebration.
Yes, that is true.
And the worrying thing is it's fucking almost Star Wars Day.
So there's going to be even more fucking spending on my behalf.
Yeah, it's great.
Which is, it's just, it's exciting.
But God almighty.
It's dangerous because like I've said before, for me, it's not even a fucking investment
because I'm not going to sell any of it.
No, neither am I if I don't plan on it.
I know it's going to happen.
I'm going to get old and I'm going to leave them to the kids and be like, look, after
my prized possessions.
Straight down the boot sale.
What the fuck is this shit?
In the charity shop.
Yeah.
Get rid of this.
These relics of a bygone era.
I'm after a new teddy.
Let's get rid of some of this toot.
Yeah.
Which is fine if they sell it properly, but I know they won't.
I'll make sure they know it should be worth some P. It's worth P now.
So not silly money, but enough.
More than I tend to pay for them.
It's a good hobby.
I like looking at stuff.
I like looking at little collections.
I like collecting things.
So before I'm a collector of trinkets and baubles.
So that's that.
That pigeons having a field day.
He keeps pulling up worms.
I don't know how many worms that fucking cunt wants.
And on that note, we're going to fuck off.
Yeah.
Uh, yeah.
If you want to hear more of us go on the page for another.
We know you won't.
You tight fisted fucks.
Bollocks mate.
Patreon.com forward slash.
What's the button?
If you did, I'll be fucking splurging more.
What's the button?
No, we thank you.
Thank you so much for your continued support.
Really sorry.
Once again, for no episode last week, that is my bad, but I have children.
Shit happens.
Get over with it.
Motherfuckers.
We had planned or I had planned to come Saturday, but my wife had worked nights.
Plans fell through.

We don't need to explain ourselves to you maggots.
Catch us on the flip side.
