How are we everyone and welcome back to this episode of the real talking podcast
Your hosts, Ash and JD
Now, we're not gonna be around the bush
We are gonna get onto it at some point sooner or later
Because, you know, there's a big red and white elephant in the country
That we are gonna have to address
That's the bulk of the messages this week from all our lovely listeners to be fair
And we never doubted Garosakha at all
We always knew he'd get us there
We backed him 100% on this podcast
You're sounding like the rest of these people
I've seen all these TikTok memes and people saying sorry
Yeah, whatever I've seen
Yeah, they take that song
We will get onto it
It's gonna be a long portion of the show
So I'd rather not for the non-football fans to start up with
And get onto some of the pressing matters to be fair
Starting off with the beginning of the week to be fair
Now, I nearly did it again
What's that?
I nearly shit myself again
How?
Why?
Now, the background story first
So the doggy's had a bit of a dodgy stomach for probably about 10 days
So Monday morning I've been woken up by the dog
So I can hear him downstairs, he's restless and he's pacing around
And I can hear when he's going towards the back door to say that he needs to go
After, in the morning, I'm like, all right, I'm up
And I'm not gonna be able to go back to sleep again
Because it was a bit warm still
I was already uncomfortable
Half-to in the morning, you wouldn't go
Yeah, because I would have been getting up
In like another hour and a half or so anyway, roughly
So I was like, I'm up
And because I didn't want to just let him into the garden
Because I knew I was gonna have to clean up mess as well
So I was like, all right, just get up, get dressed and take him for a walk
So I've done that and it was a good job as well to be fair
Because it was just disastrous all over the place about six times
I was like, fucking, that's why I didn't want to have it in the garden
So I'm walking and then I've got about 20 minutes into the walk
I'm like, oh, I do go and talk to myself
So I'll turn around and I'll start heading back towards mine
I'm tuddling along and not much is, not much pressure is building up at these points
But something's there
Yeah, you can feel it's there a little bit
But you know when you're getting close to home or you're getting close to the toilet
And then your body just starts going, right, it's go time now
So I'm literally like three minutes from the house
And my stomach's just starting to twist in
I wasn't expecting it to be as bad as a lot of that
Because you know when you need to go
You normally have a good bit of time to get to the toilet
But my body was like, we need to get back now
And I've walked around the corner and I wasn't anywhere near like I was before
Where there was a tree or something I could just go and hide in
And quickly just let it out
I'd already walked through the park and that
I'm on the main street now and I can't just go in someone's drive
And I've had to stand still for 10 seconds and have a deep breath
You know when you feel
Yeah, you've got to compose yourself
Yeah, the heat's rushing through you
And you feel yourself go a bit hard as if you're about to pass out
And I've got a couple of deep breaths
Like, hold it
And I've just waddled along
The dog's drawn a lot
Do his normal walk routine and sniff everything
I'm dragging him
Give him whiplash pretty much
Because I've had to just give that little tug and go, no, come on, mate, come on
And I've unlocked the door
And normally I'll unlock the door
Take his collar off and everything
And let him just go into the house
And then lock the door behind me
Nah, I'll just
Just let go
Yeah, I've took the leader, left his collar on, shut the door
Didn't lock it
And I couldn't run but I got up the stairs quick
And I reckon it must have been about a centimetre away from touching the boxes
Because I've barely, barely got the shorts down
By the time I sat onto the toilet
And it was just one go
I sat there for five minutes after
And there was nothing else coming
It all came out together
What do you think that was then?
Just, did you feel fine after?
As well after you went to the toilet?
Well, my stomach felt a bit iffy after
I didn't have any more trips to the toilet
Right
So I don't know
I mean there was nothing really different from the Sunday roast dinner or anything
So yeah, I don't know
But it was, oh, it was so close
I think it did feel a bit like
I think if this keeps happening though, mate
You might have to start investing in some adult nappies
Just in case
No, I'll just keep myself and just get some new boxes
Yeah, or yeah
Did I ever tell you about the time
It was the beginning of the show when we took the dog out
And I had a coffee
And I was close
I think you did tell me
Yeah
No, I won't just in case I've told you people
Just in story or whatever
But yeah, it's the worst when you need to go
Like you just want to go and sit on that toilet
And as soon as you're sitting down, it's coming
You're just like, oh
Yeah, as I said, it wasn't even any of that
I just about managed to sit on the toilet
And by the time I've even settled for it
It was always the back way
As soon as you got your clothes out of the way
That was it
Yeah, it was gone
I did check just in case any skid marks had gone into the boxes
Because I know it was definitely turtle-headed
And yeah, nothing was in them
So I was lucky
And yeah, couldn't believe it
But I hate skid marks
So I rarely ever have them
It's only if I have done one of the farts
And a little bit extra has come out
But you hear of these people all the time
Where they've just got dirty boxes and pants and that
Because they've not wiped their arse properly
That's why I wear black ones, my cantaloupe
But you know, because...
Do you want to pair white boxer shorts?
No, no
I've got some greys and some different blue colors and whatever
Mainly black
But lads that wear white boxes are briving
Yeah, that's comfortable
You get a little bit of dribble
Yeah, poo stains, wee stains
And then potentially a bit of cum stain as well
That's it
But then again, I suppose if you're wearing black boxer shorts
You definitely...
Not definitely, but you've got the chance of cum stains in them as well
Yeah
Maybe we should just stop wearing boxers
Nobody's gonna get it on you, I'm not sure
Yeah, I'll go and do that
Have you ever...
No, no, no
No, I've never...
Sometimes if I wear the wrong shorts around the house
Obviously around the house, I don't wear
Yeah, in the house
Yeah, yeah
I'm not fussed about that, but...
There's certain shorts that when you wear shorts or whatever without underwear
Because I only wear shorts around the house
Yeah
You know, anyone of these weirdos that wear jeans
In the house
That's weird
Yeah
Whoever chills...
If I've been out and then I've come back and I've got my jeans on
I'll sit down for half an hour
Depending on the time of the day now
But I can sit down for half an hour
But I'm not chilling for hours
Getting my feet up on the sofa
And not trying to get comfy because you're just carning jeans
Literally, if I've got jeans on as soon as I'm back through that door
Straight upstairs
Changed
Yeah
I would not sit down in jeans in this house
I think...
Trying to just think of recently
It's only been like if I've been out in the morning
And then I know that I'm about to...
Because I can't...
Yeah, yeah, yeah
In the middle of the day I can't just get changed into my comfys
Like pyjamas or whatever
I'm going out again at like three, four o'clock
Stand out again
So I'm dressed, I'm staying dressed
But yeah, you can't properly get comfy in jeans
Bad enough when you go to someone else's house
And you're sitting there waiting for a cup of tea and that
Or can you...
Unconfying your jeans
Yeah, nah
But I've never gone commando in jeans
I have done it in jogging bottoms though
And I'm talking about years ago
But I don't even know what I did
You're just comfy already
So if you just go to mine and you just leave the house
You sometimes just forget that, aren't you?
Yeah, I don't think it was that
I don't know
I really don't know
But I know I have done it
But I suppose it's just...
I don't feel comfortable doing it
It gets weird or...
Because I don't feel comfortable driving in that seatbelt on
So you know when you see all the people with their seatbelts on
Unless I'm just like, say
Going from an industrial estate
I'm on screw fix and then I'm going to the toll station
About 30 seconds down and I'm not walking it
Then I won't put my seatbelt on for that
But if I'm driving actually from A to B
I have to have the seatbelt on
And then straight away I'll just...
I know it's the law anyway
But I just can't get comfortable sitting there
It's strange
I do think it's a bit strange how someone will
And does drive without a seatbelt on
Yeah
And I think the cars make all that noise now
It's fucking annoying
Well I was just about to say that
Because most of them do have an alarm to say no seatbelts on
But I know people actively leave the seatbelts
Clipped in, yeah
And then still drive around without it on
So there's no need for it
I mean it's dangerous for starters
Really?
Why, yeah really is that it?
That is because it's other people that you can't trust
Doesn't matter how good of a driver you think you are
You can't trust other people on the road
It's too dangerous
But yeah that was the start of my week
Obviously after the...
Well I wonder if that was morning
Because England were on Sunday night weren't they?
So maybe I had an extra couple of beers
What beers?
Not maybe, I need a beer
What beers?
I think on the weekend I had Carly
I think
Probably why
I really can't remember
It's bad that it isn't it?
I just know I had beers
We've no ideas
We?
Yeah standard honey
We're getting something to be
Can't wait, gagging
So as I say we are going to talk about England
But we're going to get some of the feature
Ashley's favourite feature
Can I just say that is our only feature
That's why it's my favourite feature
But it's a good feature regardless
Yeah but we still have emails and that in general
It should be quirky isn't it?
Yeah I think just for the standard emails and questions
It could just be I don't know correspondence corner
Question time
We'll do a little groundstorm for that
Question time with action gaider
Which we have got some questions actually
But yeah we're going to start off with the feature anyway
Now firstly we've got Laura and she's saying
What's with the big companies not having people in the UK to take my call
I'm trying to get my internet fixed and neither of us understand each other
I don't want to do the online chat
With the agents yeah I prefer the phone calls
See I had this day of the week with Virgin
So my internet contract is off
So one of their staff called me off
Just the sales rep isn't it
And I couldn't understand a word she was saying
And I had to keep going
To the point where I was like can you just call me back tomorrow
And in that time I got my parents to speak to someone on the agent chat
But even that's a bitch because they can close the chat sometimes so then luckily enough
I called Virgin because it's Virgin
And I got through to a wonderful idea
And literally mate all of us kept going
I just want the same internet for the same price for the same time
And the woman before like this I think she was like Indian or Pakistani
You know where most of those core centres are
She's like I won't do the accent
She's like what's this
No balls
We can't do it like we're not that much
No you can look I can see this
You're offering a new customer this like a better rate
I'll just want to pay what I'm paying now
I don't need more internet
This is the best deal at the moment my Dutch Appman
You know right call me back
Anyway spoke to my agent
They couldn't do the same deal
I called up a lady
I went this is how much I'm paying
I just want it again and she went one second to check on you
We vote her yeah because they're kind of like connected now
Yeah they are yeah
And I was just like yeah she was like I can do it two pounds cheaper
So it'd be I think 30 pound or whatever for the next 18 months
I was like yeah
Literally five minutes already took five minutes
Yeah and I think that's the problem because it's a five minute conversation to be had
Yeah
I want to renew it do you want to renew it faster speed
Or do you want slower speed and can you do the same for us
It's literally a couple of questions yeah yeah
If you can't you can't move on if you can great
And they make it so hard like because when I could go and swap
Can you do I don't need that speed
Oh can you do a slower speed
Mr German this is the best speed and like no no
I understand that's the best speed right now but I don't need that speed
It's it was like 350 I was like yeah because we virgin the lowest is
I think 125 the lowest that I could get it well it depends on your area so 125 is the lowest yeah
Right so when I was looking for mine it was I think 235 or 247 and all that
Because that's the package that I've got
Yeah that's the same one I've got just it's you know it's what you need
You don't need faster anything fast unless you've got multiple devices
But if you just put your smart cv your phones your game console a laptop
It's fucking more than enough yeah
Do you remember those days when he was was he 32
And used to download a game on your xbox he used to take about four fucking hours
Yeah like anyway yesterday's call center people they just make they just make it longer
And I don't know why but it's just when it's the sales people
It's because they're trying to upsell so they get more commission
Yeah yeah yeah
And it's understandable but on the other end if you're saying no you already know what you want
Just just accept it because I did that when I was shopping around before I joined virgin as well
I can see what after you've got I don't want one of your ones that's the one that I want
What's your price and is it available for me
Yeah so like because you because you was a new customer
I mean yeah so I called a virgin I've seen the same package that I won 28 pound
Obviously I was paying I think 33 so
Because that's the package that I've got typically I got mine at 29
And then they've got that sale on at 28
So literally I called up like this is the one I want 28
Like Mr. Javan like and he's like look you're advertising it
I want when you're advertising just give it to me
Oh no but as I said terrible I don't understand why they make it so hard
I once mate put the phone down and called him back up
Just to speak to someone else
I can't remember what the name of the company was and then it might have been Xiao actually
I was speaking to a Russian person or something like that
And I couldn't understand they may can understand me
Put the phone down call back up on my 24 minutes as well speak to someone else
But yeah they're just the worst
Yeah because I ring up quite a lot I do not just with virgin but with Vodafone and other companies
Because so I actually had yesterday so the other week I rang up virgin
Complained that the signal I told you I don't think I said on the part I told you about
The signal doesn't go around the house properly yet with Vodafone it used to bounce around sweet
So I complained about that sent out an engineer and I says to him
If it's a case of having to run an extra cable upstairs to the office
So that the missus can work from home
Then I'll do that so I'm not going to be charged for him just testing the equipment and the line
And that's what the guys said on the phone as well is oh yeah you won't be charged
Comes out and just tests and it's not on our side of the fees it's your house then you'd get charged
If we were putting extra lines in the house as I've sound don't want any of that
Just wanted to check make sure everything's all right so when he's come out the engineer
So when he's come out the engineer apparently the hub was faulty
So he changed the upgrades into a new one
I don't know I was on a hub three and now I've got a hub four whatever it is I don't know
Still got the exact same problems it still doesn't bounce around properly but because of that
I ran a hardwired cable from the roads at open to the office
So at least when she's working from home no issues
So two days ago I get the email saying your next bill is ready checked it
They've tried charging with the 25 pound call out for it and it says it on there 25 pound
So I've done it off angle and I was on hold for ages
Like there's no need for it
Look you shouldn't in this day of an age when there's that many different call centers around
You shouldn't be on hold for that long but it's because the downscaling everywhere
So when you're thinking when you're clicking all the links to say you want to go to
Yeah I'll go into if you was trying to sign up you'd get pushed up that queue
Yeah do you get what I'm saying with the whatever options you're clicking
You're still going to the same person yeah it's not individual departments no more
So when I've because I've clicked on the one about bills and then they sent me a text
I've clicked on another one to do with bills they sent me a text with a link
So I've ended up having to go to a different department so I could just speak about bill
And he didn't have to transfer me both years ago the wood oh yeah you're at the wrong one
I'll send you to such and such and you'd be on hold and then someone else would answer
No this same chap fucking gone through me and uh he's escalated here and
Because obviously I've told you nothing was done it was faulty equipment that's still faulty and
You're trying to charge me when nothing's been resolved so he's escalated it and I've needs to check
But apparently the 25 pound fee is going to be deducted from the bill
Because I'm out there sitting there and arguing with people
These customer services and that because it's wrong they shouldn't be taking a piss
But I might end up doing it with Virgin because we've got mobile contracts
I don't have it set up as direct debit because if and when they're trying to add extra
Charges on I'll ring up and dispute it because that's what caught me out years ago
I don't know say my bill should have been 25 pound it was like 100 because I can't even remember what it was
But I know I got money back from it but I was all I'm not having them take money out
And I don't know what it's for so yeah I'm always a bit switched on when it comes to the bills and everything
Because money's tight for everyone you got to be on the ball really
So going back to my one obviously it said dollars would be bought so I said yeah and I was a bit
Thinking about switching from our two because my bill was like must have ran out of some kind of contract
Limb so it's going to go up like an extra 10 pound and I was like it's the same I don't understand that
You're paying for the same service but they're running on a contract so after 18 months the price doubles for whatever reason
Just for you to go back and renew it for 18 months it's the same service
Just have it like I wish that these things are kind of rolling contract
Especially with the internet because then just the money scam it goes up every April as well
Yeah well that was what I left BT originally because the last contract I had with them
They raised the probably about six times in the 18 months and I was just so pissed off because I would just add
Internet and BT sports at that time and it went from like I think say 38 pound up to 56 a month
And no I'm not paying that so yeah I left them then I went to Burden and then now we're burgeoning
Yeah it's just annoying that this shouldn't all be this awkward and complicated
So Lauren we feel your pain with that one you do know exactly what you're saying
And now on to the next one we've got internet on there I'm on the wrong thing
So all the prep out all the prep you know what it's like
So we've got Carl's question and he says
Road works all over but not doing anything that's actually needed like filling in potholes
Yes not this when I drive to work now there's so much work being done but
Along that journey there's so many potholes that haven't been done
Yeah
Why?
It's scary how much I mean we've said it before you see all the road works going on
But nothing's actually being done and you literally you can't even walk on a pavement to be fair
We've had a lot the curb being broken slabs cracked all over the place
I mean they're doing bits by me again I think they're actually finally extending the fibre
up towards mine because Komex I don't know another fibre company started to like dig up and
like refilling the holes and it cracks me up it looks like spaghetti junction the way all the
different lines of tarmac old fresh new and the mess that they're leaving but as I've gone to
walk the dog the other day there's like three vans and then two of the longer wagons but one of them's
got all the tarmac on and I've crossed the road and I've walked in between her but where the
drop curve is you know the push chair access and stuff I'm going to walk around on the pavement
and they're just there with a hole and they're just standing next to it and they've looked at
me as if to say what you're doing I was like lads if you pull a barrier up there no one's going to
walk around like this are they and they all just looked at me as if to say what you want about so
I've had to walk back into the road around all of them because there was that many vans and wagons
I couldn't see what part of the pavements was shut and where I was there's only the one side
with pavement the other side it's got lanes of car parking so I've had to walk in the road and
literally they're all just staring at me as if to say I'm in the wrong I shouldn't be trying to
walk around them it's just no need the thing that cracks me up the most about road works is
when I have the temporary lights you know what's going on and they've just gone in like two yards
into the road and about five yards up the road so and then the rest is on the pavement side but
because they've come a yard into the road they have to put temporary lights I'd rather put barriers
around it and put like a little sign give way to where it was first so one goes and if that car was
there before you go and just because the the red light like when they put traffic lights on this
just for useless stuff just useless for no reason just for no reason just because they're a yard
into the road and then put some cones around it because a lot of the time that's when they're
just like cutting the bushes back or something because well they need to be turning around
yeah we'll do it on a weekend in the middle of the day yeah look he can come in here earlier
the uh look the one side of the road that's all combed off and that and there's your man on the
mini digger and he's in the lane where I am only probably like you know three foot but not enough
for me to just drive past and he's he's swinging his fucking arm around not the the mini digger
arm not his actual arm he wasn't doing an impression of an elephant uh well I'm lucky
and I've looked at one of the other lads that's there with these fucking hollabies and a hard
eye but not doing anything I was like give the look as if to say what's going on are you stuck
in the fucking traffic or something no and so I've ended up half going off onto the pavement
drove around him and this car was blocked uh proper bombing down towards me and then they're
looking I could see in the mirror looking at me as if to say what you're doing and then as I've
gone off onto the pavement obviously like they've done the same then the real ones I wasn't being a
dig so uh yeah it's just it's just stupid the fair enough that he's during the middle of the day
but he should be more aware that he's in the lane they've closed up one lane not both don't be in
the lane that's still open fucking bellends hopefully it's clear by the time I get back
or was I'm I'll just actually start and say are you fucking taking a piss not that I will do
because you know it's Friday by the time I do get back I'll just be wanting to take the dog out for
a walk and get straight on the beers wait uh now we've got a question no sorry it isn't a question
but we've got a message from roly so last week we was on a very independent study and then we
raised the question how does it work because it was on a first day and oh yeah yeah and we didn't
want to google it did we yeah we could have just googled it we could have done but uh we've got the
response uh roly says oh guys I'm in the states and in general we've got the Friday off as well
as the 4th of July ah that's all right then yeah uh this is where I got a little bit confused when
it's on a Tuesday or Thursday we get the day before or after off weekends is before or after too right
so I think so if it's on a Tuesday get the Monday off yeah now I did google it because as I was
reading it and I got a little bit confused um so typically the page that I had open
wait so you end up googling anyway right yeah it was just because I couldn't quite grasp why it was said um
so uh where is he employees get sorry well many employees are expected to report to work the days
before and after the other day some companies are getting into the paytrop no it wasn't that one I
had a good explanation uh I can't believe all I did was close the browser and then it disappeared
but it was essentially if it was on a weekend so it was on a Saturday you got the Friday off as well
yeah it was on a Sunday you got the Monday off and then if it's on a Tuesday you got the Monday off
uh if it was a uh a Wednesday no sorry if it was a Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday you got that day
off yeah and then you still got no Thursdays was Tuesday or Wednesday you got that day off and you
still had to go to work the day before and after as normal but Thursday they got the Friday off
it was so confusing I wish I'd my phone didn't mess around because it did explain it right yeah
yeah um so weekends they still get a weekend as normal uh if it was a Tuesday or Wednesday
they only get the one day off but if it fell on a Monday Thursday or Friday they got the extra day
off so they'd end up having two days to celebrate right because they don't have many bank holidays
do they as far as I'm as far as I'm aware because they have so it's independence day then they have
no is it memorial or die I don't know if it's bank holiday but there is memorial day um and then
thanksgiving and then I think it's just Christmas Eve and Christmas day I think New Year's day
oh look why there we just oh six Labour Day I don't know
probably is more than what we actually know because yeah over here we are a little bit
ignorant to what goes on in other countries to be fair yeah yeah no it's just all I'm just trying
to look now but it's I don't know would you get Labour Day off I don't know Veterans Day would you
get that off I suppose it probably just depends on what state you're in and that as well whereas
with the UK it runs across the whole of the UK yeah any of these bank holidays well yeah because
I don't get they don't really get much annual leave as well do they you know if you paid leave
yeah I think it's one week or two weeks as well as an equal yeah I don't know did did Obama ruin
it or something I think it's always been like that in terms of like your vacation days that's a lot
of them seem to work while they're on holiday as well in the movies anyway yeah well you can't go
off the movies because they never say boy on the phone like that's yeah they just hang up I'm like
that don't happen they've got to go see you mate yeah and they'll always answer the phone and be on
the phone while driving as well as drink driving yeah which that cracks me up because I know we've
said it before but you know they'll be out on a date or at a bar have a few drinks and then they'll
back into the car then the frat parties they're all bloody lagging cakes and all that and then
yeah in the little fucking pickup truck driving up no it's fucking stupid they can't handle the
drink anywhere drinkers not of course well I'll admit right so yeah thanks for yeah thank you for
that for that clarification I've probably made it a bit more confusing for some people
but we do have a question off of Laura and I thought this is definitely one that we'll have
the answer for okay after what number of dates do you think is acceptable to have sex to do the
old hanky-panky right now there's two people in long-term committed relationships you know I'm
committed relationships you know I'm married you're practically married you know it's just a marriage
the ring basically that you've got um back in a day
I've seen for me if you was to sleep with someone on the first day it would have made you want to
have a second day because you've already got you've achieved the goal yeah yeah yeah thanks for
saying that yeah yeah no but yeah like that's that's how I would see it because it's just then
you have the second day you're expecting the same results yeah um see most of mine you know back in
the day of being a top sugar that's how it just went literally was one day one bam thanks yeah but
then you wouldn't have another day you don't need I mean depending on how much fun I had really yeah
um but that was back when I was uh just roaming around having a lot of fun in that um
I think it was on the second one with my missus and obviously ended up marrying her yeah I think it
just depends on the person and your circumstances where you are in life you know I think it's that
and I think it's how often you see him you know if it's you've seen him this time then you have a
second date two weeks later as well you could do you get what I'm saying yeah that's kind of what
I was going to say look because if you're having like a basically a full day of dates where you
have coffee in the morning then you just go out for a walk or something and then you just go
food and drinks and out on an all-time but you're classing that as one whole day because it's in the
same day or individual or separate dates because it's several different activities um and yeah
yeah it is always individual because if there's a connection there yeah you know then yeah but
I mean sometimes people are just having the hookup just for that sake just get out the system yeah
but if the so let's just how many dates if you had to put a number on it would you say it on it
like reasonable so you've seen someone say you met someone you single hyperbolic
bit elitia's gone yeah yeah she's gone my yeah top strikers back out yeah right
he said that voice morning she left him
james he's in the moment there a little he was in the moment there trying to imagine he's in
that headspace yeah it's a friday not jaydee's single yeah you make me all brutan you meet
someone this weekend yeah you know how many things this weekend should have to be a football fan
but yeah on a on a well I mean things have changed now don't any more yeah because it's years ago
that would have been the way well that's how i think most of it really just out and about meeting
while out drinking but I don't know if that would be the same way to meet someone now
or you connect with someone regardless yes I suppose I'd be swiping on tinders or whatever
and um hide for the premium no no I'm too tall for that
uh and yeah see again I suppose it just depends on because if if you've already been speaking
in that a bit before because you're already getting a bit of an emotional connection are you
sort of anticipating or expecting it a little bit more yeah and I suppose how much
how often you still keep in contact in between dates he like full on every day so he feels on
phone calls and that so because I think let's just be reasonable let's just say three weeks time zone
is that too is that too far I mean again like they've got to be for me to still be invested
after three weeks they've got to be keeping me mentally entertained because well yeah but
it's not a hookup though it's not because obviously if it's a hookup you're not you're not going to so
obviously yeah basically what I'm trying to say is after one day if they're not getting me in the
heads like not giving me heads I mean I'm not going to say no but if I'm not mentally invested
after the first day I'm not going and I'm not waiting just for that achievement yeah end game
I will swiftly move on but like in general what would look at times on yeah if I've got that
connection then yeah I'd have to wait for a couple of weeks and that so um in terms of dates I think
it's hard to say but in terms of a time zone what we're saying about three weeks yeah if you if you
seen each other like once a week then yeah three weeks is sort of like all right but if if it's
two three times per week then yeah no more than two weeks but there's nothing wrong if it's sooner
or even like that just just feel the vibe anything yeah as long as it's safe and a few cocktails yeah
yeah um so basically what we're getting at if you want to be a slag just be a slag just yeah have fun
with it well yeah um I want just a slag that was a total slag yeah so uh yeah hopefully it'll out um
I'll take it Laura on the uh the old dating scene at the moment and maybe she's getting uh
uh pressured into it don't don't get pressured lord don't if any lads are uh saying or you know
come on let's get straight if you're not happy you're not comfortable don't do it you know we're
we're all about consent in this podcast um in this community you know no means no definitely
so but no it is uh upon that time because every other message is about football and we had the
fight we never doubted it South Korea's the one he's still telling you what he can make you
yeah um so let's I'll just start going down in all that I think you need to apologize to South
Korea actually no no no let's see what the corresponders are saying
uh so our first one from Noah uh as if the fa are planning on giving Southgate another contract
to stay on England or to twice so I have seen this myself um I expected it I said it at the
start of euros to be fair if he gets out of group stage then they're gonna want to offer him another
contract well yeah for me we don't lose you should go I think you should go out on the high if he
does win or just if he loses I've had my time even just being in the final again that's on a
foreign in a foreign country as well which is the first European finals he's done he's done so much
stuff like records you know either way it's gonna it's gonna look good for him yeah um because if he
was to stay on and then with the world cup next it all does come crashing down because he can't
I can't see him doing another tournament and manage to fluke through again I think did he fluke or is
it just genius pet tactics the lay substitutions the like not the only relation to the reactive
reactions not proactive you know he's super subs you know I think we're all wrong I think he's
I think he's super soft so easy I think he's should be on the pitch to start off with maybe
just banter the whole country and was like I want to play shit and for 45 minutes against Holland
we're gonna play really good half time early substitution revert back to playing shit now
he'd be tall up here maybe he's just giving us what we what we need just to
his little thing though I've thought about this yeah at the beginning I was like you shouldn't
have took the manual out minor but he's been really good like obviously I was calling for
Jordan Henderson and I still think Jordan Henderson should have went besides um
Christopher Ali stuff that I don't I can't remember his name at the top of my head one sec sorry
anyway I thought he should have went instead of um
Adam Wharton sorry yeah just because this lad is literally just going he's he's just gone to uh
playing the ball yeah he's just gone to where the bib in it yeah you know to wear the bib on the bench
um yeah so you know but he took the chance on him you know genius genius decision you know
now I feel like if he wasn't a man you know he'd play though he wouldn't be getting his game time
even though he's played as well as he has um like he just says Wharton if he was playing
for the reformer united or chelsea or someone he'd be getting the game time no I don't know I don't
know I think he tried that guy you know he tried trend didn't want tactics you know visionary
and now he's like no but my no he's not afraid to you know to make those changes you put
you know it's just tactical art there yeah that works gone to three four three I mean genius I
mean who would have thought who would have thought that we needed two tens and bold enough to win
you know it only took four games but you know we didn't see did we until you know so yeah I'll go
on to the least message what did I just witness surely we're going to win this night well so for
me Jay and I know I'd like to give you every game I've not fancied England I've been like I don't
fancy us Switzerland uh was it Slovakia before yeah uh even obviously Holland I was the Netherlands I
was like I don't fancy yourself for me I still don't fancy us just because if I start thinking
we can do it it's gonna break that routine and we'll finally lose yeah no waking up on Wednesday
morning because leading up to it I was still in that same mindset we're not going to do well
we're just going to beat us um you know they've got goal scorers they know how to attack uh even
though Booman's not uh not the best of managers and he still hasn't played as attacking us over
teams uh you know there has been a good couple of goals from them but I woke up and I just had that
same feeling that I did the morning of the FA Cup final yeah and there wasn't a couple of things
that went right like we did on that day but I just had that feeling that we was going to win yeah and
obviously we did um I'm still not feeling it on Sunday though I feel that France would have been
the easier of the two teams going off of how to play it again the other day yeah that would have
been a boring as fuck game that would have been France and France I do find it strange how England
have to concede or lose be losing a game for them to turn it on for 10 minutes get back in the game
and then you know but that's just a genius of Southgate you know you give them it's just like
a rope and stuff and it like you know yeah you've got me with the jab but you know I was lining up
the next punch yeah well Lorca says last week because of how much I've seen it with United
over the last couple of years especially that going down and then turning the burners on and
fucking getting a goal back and potentially winning it afterwards I just knew where it was going
obviously the second half it was all Netherlands and as soon as the shots were made that was it
getting out by every game Palmer Watkins brilliantly in cup play on the interview afterwards
he called he says that he says that Palmer during the day we're going to come on that you're going
to set me up on the score so that's that's the confidence you got about really he's had a great
season Watkins has anyway so he's got the belief in his own abilities yeah I feel for him and Tony
though because they're seeing how games play he's still not match me because he was injured before
the end of the season there's so definitely something that rollover yeah and the fact that
he's still trying to I think he was it right back at one point the other day it was just
well I don't see why he can't just stay off yeah play on the back line hold the high yeah it's
the one thing I will say though you can't have kind on the bench because I don't think he's
he's as impactful as an Ali Watkins he's not going to run the line yeah so that's why I think you've
got to start him and because he's a better finish role there's no doubt it but obviously he's
he's not you can see he's not 100% or whatever he's not this he's done well it's not Safgaard's
tactics that's that's so yeah yeah it never tells him to come deep Safgaard would tell him to hold
that line you know yeah also um so England's chances for the final what are you saying then
you don't fancy I don't well like we've just said I've not fancied any game apart from the morning
of the Netherlands game not fancied any of them so far it'd be great though if he did any remember
when one up against Italy yeah I do remember that unfortunately um but yeah it was a great feeling
um and it will be a great feeling if we do manage to beat Spain um yeah I just can't see I can see
but I just don't think we will again looking at the France and Spain game the other day
uh it's almost as if Spain are toying through this tournament because they started off
organs blazing and then against France it was a little bit backluster uh yeah I think because
there was no pressure on them and now now that they're doing well is a bit of pressure on them
now but it always goes like that once you're at the group stage anyway because once it's
this game or back home you've got to play a bit more safe um Safgaard's kind of just stuck to the
same tactics throughout uh let's just play safe genius yeah um well yeah obviously it's a lot
a lot of red you're gonna be in it to win it we're in it I mean it's one of them times you just wish
you had a little crystal ball and you could see into the future then you can put a cheeky bet on
it it's money yeah yeah yeah just trying that's if anything if anyone could go back in time that
would literally or that want to do to go back to get money anything that's all to make themselves
yeah that's the the working class of us where because we're not rich and we know that money
will make everything better for us yeah that's what we'd end up doing or ask for more wishes if
you've got a genie but get one wish wish for more wishes well that's against the rules in the genie
folklore but you can wish for more genies wow there you go then loophole 101 um
um james was tried on it he was on it from uh after the game on sunday uh threw on penalties
still not coming home uh i'm definitely a fan of ash jd just chatch uh show it all the time
can't wait to see the tears when you know it again next season i think he loves you really
like i'm definitely does yeah you love him you told me after podcast yeah yeah you know you can't
might get some correspondence off him yeah he's the uh the first name that i look out for when
i'm checking those emails um it's only because there's not many of them but uh no he seems all
right for a walk um you know one of these days we'll uh we'll have a little meet and greet and
james will be front of the queue um you know we'll have presents for us and at no
days yeah lots of chocolates or something i think i'll get a chocolate bar i think yeah
yeah which chocolate bar you're gonna ask for that yorkie toblero no no toblero but two you know
triangle so i'm thinking of like uh two triangle bigger like not the small ones yeah one of the big
giant you might get a small chocolate bar from him they'll more teasers back i do like more
teasers though i don't know like some premium look i say premium when i got fox's biscuits the
chocolate ones yeah yeah i did get some um more chocolate uh digestives even though i know i've
had them before i've not opened this packet yeah not a lot of them earlier but that's a small one
that's the one yeah i've got a star biscuits mic so it's do you can you tank a whole packet once
really easily that's why i've got open these yeah i'll probably save them for sunday morning yeah
you've got to do it in the morning yeah yeah uh that was the first of james's uh emails so you
know it might come in straight on it i mean you know two england games two emails good luck straight
on the ball um and all he put excuse the point that wasn't intended uh football banter um and
he literally just says on his second one was how lucky can england get lucky or genius i mean we've
never done i mean actually sticking to the uh we didn't dial him no i just think would you
rather play how england played i got to the final all done or played really well and got knocked
out so like if we wouldn't it's going to be worthwhile now yeah but this is what a lot of
the pundits are coming out with now a lot of them are changing the tunes the logs will be over and
and saying no one's going to remember how poorly england played leading to the final especially if
we win um i beg to differ though i do think that a lot of people will still remember that and have
the moe but it's the uh i'm gonna slightly disagree i know we're gonna say i'm gonna say
it's because i think this whole euro has been a bit disappointing so i don't think it'd be
the whole england with this point i think the whole euro has been disappointing and i feel what's made
it this point is you can qualify through finishing third yeah the way that the change things around
on that sense so strange as soon as you've got a look as soon as you've got three points on the
board like a win you're just playing for a draw then because you know a draw is pretty much going
to guarantee you to go through to knock out ryan i feel that's really like and that's what saved
katie tita the long game mate it's playing off give him a five-year contract like you know
no they wouldn't be able to give a five-year though would they because then that'd be
after a year after the next euros yeah what's he going to play for the nation's leader
yeah doing it you've done it now it was i do feel though we are getting a bit of a look
would you feel you need the other head kick i said i was lucky you know yeah individual moments so
any so yeah bellingham's over it was a bit the penalty was an about penalty was a bit if it and
then obviously 90 minute we're working so you know it's i do feel it's now and ever to win
something i would like to us win something yeah we need it because we haven't had it in our
lifetime and we might not ever get it in our lifetime after this because can it still i'll see
over the last six years while savgates been in charge we've had an abundance of talents we've
had it over the years anyway you're a 96 and the logs of skulls in bethwin all that in the teams
over the years but collectively it's a a good squad and is it still going to be able to
uh get additions to it over the next two four six years well i think so i mean this
kyle palmers pretty young foden's pretty young yeah i remember sakas young so they're still there
i mean this and there's still stuff to be worked on yeah i'll just remember hearing these conversations
when you know there was prime rio young runey and that in the team i think we so i think with that
sorry i think the the levin was outstanding that had nothing like if you take runey and i went out
of that you had peter kraj coming up no offense but you get what i'm saying he scored some bangos
though he did score some bangos man and he was a good dancer he was a really good dancer you know
and he could pull the ladies well he's a footballer mate like you know top shagger yeah
yeah i'd like to think with how um how good all the training i think is and the youth
development we will still get good players coming through the ranks i mean we are seeing it with the
under 21s to under 16s and that where they're doing well in these tournaments because i think
the under 21s won the euros last year was it or the oh my other night's a good one i don't know
i'm sure but i know what you're saying the youth teams seems to always do pretty well in tournaments
yeah and there is still the good young talent coming through anyway uh i just feel that with a
different manager coming in they'll be able to take it into the next um
next phase of new players coming in and just stop using favorites it's not all about
you know once you've found someone that you can rely on bringing them in and just sticking with
them you know if maguire wasn't injured he would have still been in i was gonna say if maguire was
injured he would have started ahead of going guy who's probably been the best defender of the tournament
uh yeah he's been solid to be solid um next to pebbles as well he's he's been all roles um
but you expect john stones to be uh solid in defense as well to be fair uh but as a partnership
they've done all roles i think the defense has in general been um not really our best quality but
what we expected to to hold the fort down we haven't had that many scares i feel like coel
walker's you're a good guy coel walker's just got his pacer he's he's not attacking enough
well he's gonna be that'd be really good actually him against uh williams yeah against nico um
so that should be good yeah uh marata's out as well isn't it or has that been confirmed
after he got uh tackled for the cameraman or whatever he was uh is it when they're trying to
chase when the photographer trying to chase someone that runs the pitch do you see the video
not seeing all of it i just saw where he's always always i thought it was a security guard that's
like with him like trying to chase one of these people trying to run to the pitch well it looked
like he had a camera in his hands unless it was like uh just his own personal camera to take
pictures of the crowd or something i don't know i'm not a weirdo um but yeah i think
i'm just hoping it's gonna be a good game it's not gonna be a good game it's gonna be the same old
genius tactical like on the spot you'll understand in 10 years where everyone's playing it it's gonna
be tight it is literally because spain 1b is fluent because they know like they're going to
go and go look too tacky they can get countered you know yeah i feel like it's going to be nervous
it's going to be a lot of sideways passes backwards passes and then as soon as you get one
nil either side that is it shut up shop bang that's not what we want to see we want to see
well if you want to look near england you want to you probably do want that one nil we've seen it
enough over the last couple of years though even two nil is a safe scoreline yeah yeah but
you know you just have to man it out don't you if england go one and up there's no why that i'm
still playing with two number tens he would drop one of well it would drop jude burningham straight
back down yeah harry can sit down as well yeah and just literally so i know what you're saying mate
so how do you think this game is going to play out then just not honestly not just sorry i do think
it's going to be cagey i think it's going to be like horrible watch a nervous watch obviously from
even if you weren't even connected with england it'd be a horrible game to watch just because
it i think a lot of sideways passes i don't think anyone's going to break the lines too early
um and i think it's going to be i don't want it to be a one nil game so i'm going to go for two one
game but i'm undecided of where it's going to go because i think if spain score england
england show up then so it's going to be a hard one it's going to be interesting actually
but i think it's going to be more of the same for me well yeah well
what i've got in mind is that spain are going to score first and then so around like the 12th
minute or so spain are going to score just before half time england to pull one back
then it will be extra time spain will score second half extra time england will score two
so i think it's going to be free to england win after extra time
that'd be good you can't get a disfiancing though because the two board men stay high and wide
morela drops in so you can get them at them through the channels obviously you get isolated
the right back and the left back but it'd be interesting you never know i mean you know the
genius of southgate it might just turn up and like go out or go to the other side of the board
guy or or attack i think he might be just been bantering with everyone yeah um
yeah i'm sure everyone else is uh feeling what you're feeling um but no uh on that
we'll just remind everyone that all the links are in the descriptions as always the hotline
the email addressed a lot and we will just leave it on this phone or note it was a ticked up at the cent
and we should uh play it out
so
grab your headphones ready to groove ash and jd will make your mood improve
so
