Hello everybody and welcome back to the Real Talking Podcast. Now unfortunately it has
been a couple of weeks because we've had some technical issues. We've still had it this
morning while we've been messing around with it but we've finally got it sorted anyway.
So unfortunately you have missed two amazing episodes as well. So episode 9 which was a
special for the Coronation Weekend. We had a lot of fun UK facts and history stats, a
few weird ones. There was the Monkey Hangers which if I can get the audio fixed for those
two then I will get those published. You might want them at some point in the future but
if not we'll probably just touch back onto the issue. We was chatting with those. And
number 10 was a summary of the previous 10 episodes. It was a bit of a special episode.
Your Birthday Weekend special coming up as well. We were having a little bit of a drink.
There was some Woodgerobbers on there. Actually number 10 was probably one of the better ones
we've done. Which is Jack and that's the one. Because the Woodgerobbers, if we can't get
the audio back we definitely have to come back to that one. Well I think we will do
some more Woodgerobbers again. Because those were just weird. Yeah, yeah. Would you rather
be completely bald or completely hairy like a griller. And that was controversial from
the pair of us because you'd rather be completely bald. I'd be hairy. And you just didn't agree
with me. I just thought the maintenance alone would just be. Mate, I've got all that maintenance
at the moment anyway. I know I've got long hair on the top anyway and I'm trying to grow
it out on the back and sides so it's all long. But more routine now. So when I have my shower
I'll pre-wash the hair to get any general dust out. But are you mean you just. Yeah,
so all my hair in general I'll use. I've got my cheap shampoo that I'll pre-wash to get
the dirt out. Then I'll give it a second pre-wash to make sure all the dirt's out. Which it's
mad because you do see all the dust and stuff in the water as it goes down the shower. Then
I've got my special hair promotion growth shampoo which goes in all of it and, well
including the beard, this is at the same time. So it goes in all of that. Leave it in for
five minutes while I wash the rest of the body. Then I wash all that out. Then I put
conditioner in which that stays in for a couple of minutes as well. And then now what I've
recently added is the rosemary oil. So after my hair's dried to a certain degree I'll put
the rosemary oil in all of it which that helps promote the growth. Are you using one of those
derma rollers as well? No, so that's with another. Is it maraq's oil or something? Yeah,
I think it is maraq's oil. So if you're using that, it's not because I've got bald patches.
I just want to promote the growth, get the back and the sores longer, quicker. So I'll
put that in and then it's a different one that you have to use for the beard. So it's
castor oil basically. I've always used the beard oils anyway but the castor oil helps
grow the beard because I know it's probably hard to remember but before I shaved it all
off for the charity a couple of years ago it was actually longer. It was touching my
chest and it just seems to stay at this length now and I want it longer again. I think you
should go it off. No, I'm not shaving it off. Or just trim it. I do need to go it off. I
don't. No, I mean like so it's just short. So it's not a, you wouldn't call it a beard,
you could. No, I want to keep it longer. I want to get longer with you. But the main
thing, I want all my hair the same length anyway. So yeah, that's a full routine with
that. So back to the would you rather. Being hairy, I'm used to it anyway. So that wouldn't
happen to me. We also touched on favourite comedians and that as well because we went
off when it was the week after we done the record because we tried to be clever, tried
to do two records in one sitting. Yeah, to save time. Yeah, because the following week
we went and saw Tom Segora Lowhoof in Birmingham and they knew was going away for your birthday.
I had stuff to do last weekend so yeah, trying to get ahead and get the records done but
somebody just didn't work. The technical issues, but sure we saw it tonight. Yeah, Tom Segora
was good. I was a little under bound with it essentially because a lot of his material
already know because of watching him on his podcast and that anyway. But did you enjoy
it? I enjoyed it. We didn't really talk about it. No, no, no. So did you hear some of the
jokes already there? It's not that it wasn't exactly the jokes that he's already told.
It's just I knew the stories. Yeah, so as well as hearing them for the first time. Yeah,
yeah. So I knew where it was all going. I still enjoyed it. It was for the price because
I think it was about £30 something each. So it was a good experience and plus obviously
we made our mate there didn't we? Getting the cheap beer. Skipping the queue, paying
cash saving money. Well, we saved £4 each point. Well, cash is king. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He made himself. He made. That weren't going in the till mate. Yeah. So yeah, it was a
good. Yeah. So I think in the next couple of episodes, we'll start bringing in some
of these would you rather questions and do some of the quizzes and whatnot. Yeah, I did
like, I know I've just mentioned it, but I did like number 10 for that quiz. Like that
feel for it. I thought it was a it was especially because we had a few beers as well. Well,
obviously went out for food. It was just, you know, it was good. I know because it was
getting quite late by the end and I mean it was probably about an hour and 10 minutes
worth of just rambling on and we only had to cut it off really because I had to get
back home with the wife myself. But it is what it is. It's done. If I can recover the
audio, the video was just the videos there. There's just no audio with it because the
other microphone just didn't pick up with the camera. It's just fucking it's still a
learning curve anyway. You know, we're new to this. We didn't say we didn't do what in
school. We did. Okay. But this is all new still. We didn't have podcast lessons in school
or anything. Did work. You know, it wasn't taught literally to learn. If you heard number
episode one, he literally just the case of putting it together, sitting down and just
hitting record and pointing out there. Obviously, you know, we're getting better. You're getting
loads with the audio up. Sorry with the editing and everything. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it helps
that I'm actually using a program that I paid for instead of just a free one that you could
just clip and cut and press play basically. But yeah, we're getting there. Well, it was
also obviously one of our listens to podcasts before doing a podcast, which is weird when
you think about it, but not since then. I have listened to a few podcasts. Yeah. And
yeah, no, I've, I've became a fan of, of the from doing it. I can understand the effort
that goes into them because it's, it's, it's, it's when you have a specific topic, you
know, you, you kind of keep on the same, you know, topic, but like as we're doing it, obviously
we're trying to, you know, be different every week it is, you know, you have to put a conscious
effort into like putting out the right stuff and you know, just, just challenge it constantly.
Yeah. Yeah. Cause we, we haven't really got a running theme that we obviously we did the
one episode where it was the ghost talk. Yeah. That's the experiences and stuff. Cause that's
one thing we're, while we, I think we've touched on episodes. Well, we're calling this episode
nine. Yeah. This episode nine, but version like it's technically episode. Yeah. Yeah.
Well we touched about like probably getting people on the podcast. Yeah. That's, that's
the future goal. Yeah. Hopefully we can start getting people on having guests of sorts.
We're going to sort out the studio in a couple of weeks. So you'll see some new scenery.
You won't see this beautiful radiator beyond us anymore. It is a nice right. Yeah. It is.
I know you chose it together anyway. Didn't you? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. It was
more paint color anyway. So yeah, once the studio is sorted out, then we'll have a bit
more room to get a guest in and whatnot. Well, yeah. So I think going forward, we'll, we'll
have other different topics and we'll touch on some more different types of scenarios
like the zombie apocalypse style and that as well. Um, yeah. So going on to meet we,
uh, in the week that we have at actually had off, I've been busy work boys and, uh, you've
been on your jollies. You've had a nice holiday. Yeah. So I went to Amsterdam. First time I've
been there was an experience, right? Yeah. Yeah. Definitely was. Um, but yeah, I just,
the one thing that stood out for me was the amount of boys schools. It just, and like
no one commutes by car, just bicycles and trams. Yes. I've not been there myself, but
he, he needs to bicycle capital as well. Isn't it really everyone? That's their mode of transport,
isn't it? Yeah. So I've read there was 880,000 boys schools in Amsterdam. That's four times
the population. So there's four times box through his people. That's crazy. Why would
you have three extra box? Yeah. Cause you got three flat tires on them or something.
When we was doing a tour, a lady says that the retrieve 12 to 16,000 out of the canals
every year on top of that. And we asked like, Whoa, why is there so many in there? And
she just said when the drunk, the fall in there because well, they get stalled. But
if, if you went out and you put your box somewhere, locked it up and you went out, you would never
find it. And if you, if you got absolutely steam and could remember how the fuck you
were like, cause you just fucking everywhere. But no, uh, no, it was really good. Um, but
I've got to tell you about the peep show. Yeah. We went to, so if, if you have been
here, you know what I'm on about. But if you have a, so you go in, you pay two Euro and
I think it lasts for two minutes. And so it's in a circle and then in the middle of the
circle, where you have a frosted glass, you pay two euros, the glass and frosts. And then
all you can see is like a revolving circle bed. And uh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, to
be fair, Austin powers would have been better than the woman we see because we saw a Barbara,
she was about 50 year old from Barnsley. She looked like someone like that. Yeah. And uh,
but the most weird thing is you can see the other people watching it. So are you like
in a, so you're looking at circle yet? Where you are, do you walk into like a photo booth?
Yeah. So you're in your own little cubicle. So you walk in your own little cubicle, you
put the two euros in your glass and frosts. It's just weird. Cause when we unfrosted,
there was a gaze out like directly up to us. Yeah. And he just looked at us and was smiling
and nodding his head. And just like, what's he doing? So he wasn't nodding his head. No,
he was doing, he was doing something, man. And he, so yeah, but we made the mistake putting
four euros, uh, two, obviously four euros, two, two euros in. So we had it for four minutes
and it was just painfully too long. Just because you wanted to go, but you can't open the door
in case anyone sees and cause a proper strict with scuse you over there. And then she took
her under her off, you know, showed us something she's got. And I, yeah, it was weird. And
then, so anyway, it was, that was, that was like the most seeded thing I thought. Cause
we'd done all the sex shows. Yeah. Which I thought was, I liked it. It had like, um,
I don't, don't pause when you say that you like it because some people out there know
what these sex shows are like. And if it's on the stranger side and they're thinking
you lost this weird thing that I've seen before. No, so I just loved it because obviously you
have people fucking on stage and then in between that you have like a stripper, but it's kind
of like, it's not serious. It's a bit comedic, like they get people up from, you know, the
entrance type part and it's got a comedic factor to it. So similar to that one afternoon
in the Legion when I'll win the raffle thing and got pulled up on the stage for the strip
of that. Yeah, but it was more, but it had more like a show to it. Like it was, they
do it every night. So yeah, not just terror. No, it was a, it was, it was fun like to have
everyone come up while they pick people to come up and you know, it's just funny. It's
funny. And I think it was 60 euros, but you could stay there or not if you wanted to.
Yeah. So it's not, it was like a club and then all the other acts are just going on
and on all night. But the weird thing is you see like the old men on the run, they're coming
quickly, jump at the back and you'll see them like every log to image go a log row closer,
closer. The next thing you, you know, during the front row, like watching it, it's just
like, but the most serious thing. So in terms of all that, the most serious thing I've seen
in there. So where the peep show was, that was in a different venue to where the sex
show was. So you have the, um, the peep show and the dough. Yeah. And to the Roy, you had
like porn booths. So you watch porn and obviously master back. Cause it was, I assume so cause
there's tissue in there. Well, yeah. What do you need to do? That would like just to
do it in your house now. Yeah. I don't see why you'd have to go to a movie to pay for
it when you can just stay in your hotel room and watch it on your phone or something. That
is a bit strange. It is weird pain to go and have a wank. That's weird. I don't know if
you can select you, your fucking talk of porn, but obviously in your own house, you can just
put whatever you want on. I suppose it's probably because when people are walking up and down
the red light district all day, they can't hold it in long enough to get back to the
hotel. What does that even a door that's blackening? It's like a car. So like, it's like, so the
way I walked in to this venue with the peep shows you walk in the peep show dome to your
left. And then he had like three or four booths to your right where you watch the porn. I
was at the Western good. The back. I can't, I didn't go to it. I can't remember what it
was. Um, yeah, that was just weird. But so all that's on the, on the red light district.
And what I found weird about the red light district is, you know, you're walking around
and it's busy. It's like the hub. Obviously you've got cafes, restaurants, just stuff.
It's so it is pretty much no prime location. And, uh, you walk past, you see the girls
in the windows, which is weird. Like because you can be standing, I don't know, it was
close to me and you. So two feet away. Yeah. And there's just a big glass and the standing
there and then the planets coming. Now I don't know who has the balls to knock the window
in this crowded area. Ask, you know, this is what the one if they're not free, then
go, yeah. Then you see them inside until I closed the curling. So, and then I just kind
of imagined someone having the balls to go in and out. Why it's that busy. I know that's
what it's there for. Yeah. But I've always seen someone come out and I just wanted to
see it. It was weird as well because so the, the man read law district is on either side
of the locket canal. So left them all the way down, but just offered me, I've looked
at your off, look at your alleyways and they're in there as well. And for me, you'd probably
want to go in, start the less busy ones. Yeah. But now this guy's just straight out busy,
straight out Australian, cutting clothes, just like I can see you in there. It's yeah.
Obviously that's what it's there for. And it's, it's, it's the different cultures, isn't
it? You know, it's, it's, it's, you know, same again with the, the calves, which are
just for the smoking and eating the cakes and stuff. It's a completely different, isn't
it? But yeah, I think it's because of where we come from. It's obviously it's not legal
here and it is a bit more taboo to do something like that. But if you think of it as a different
service, you know, if you walk down a road that was full of tattoo shops and you see
everyone walking in, getting the tattoos and walking back out, it's that kind of thing,
really, isn't it? But obviously you're getting a better service unless you really into tattoos.
Yeah. Well, what I was meant to say would have got some of them have like piece of paper
in the window and says, cause couple was welcome. Yeah. So, you know, if you're a couple, you
can still get it. Yeah. We went to the red light museum as well. And it's basically,
you know, it used to be, I don't know if it's called a brothel or nobody. It was. Yeah.
So it's left the way how it was. And yeah, it's just weird. It's just got a better sink
or could be diving and then all the way. Watch the fatty. Yeah. Crack back onto it. But so
I've heard that it's not just the red light district now as well, that you've got, I think
it's an orange district, which is all men in the windows. And then there's like a multicolored
one, which has got transgenders in the windows and that as well. Yeah. See, I heard before
when there's a blue light district, which is four lady boys, basically, but I didn't
see that. And it's if in the vicinity of that, the area with the red light district is I
didn't see it. It might've been further on down the main route cause I didn't go all
the way down possibly, but I didn't see it. I suppose cause once you've seen 10 windows,
you know, there's not much difference now. At least that I would say there's probably
about over a hundred. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. So you went to the museums. I know you're
really into your art. Aren't you? Nice paintings. No, I didn't go to either to those two top
two museums. I know the ones that bank off museum. I can't remember. I think it's the
right car, but no, I didn't. I just, we don't know a lot of tools. We don't know. I'm Frank
house though. Yeah. Yeah. Which was interesting. Cause I was for like, how can people hide
in the house and not get caught? Like she did in the end. Yeah. But how did they get
away for so long? Like, like door, but bookcase, they never find us. But I understand why,
because literally if you ever been there, you'll know it's like a house within a house.
So the house that was living in, like secretly it was probably bigger than my house. And
it's mad to think it won't like a broom. It was kitchen, bathroom, bedroom. Like it's
probably same size as this house. If not a little bit bigger. Yeah. But I can't, I'm
trying to think of a term for it. No. Um, it's, I don't think it's really a thing over
here. I've only really seen stories of it over in America where it's people that secretly
live in other people's lofts. Um, so there's one in particular, uh, well this is an actual
thing. Yeah. So it's called lot squirreling or something. So essentially look, cause you're
hiding in someone's house and then when they go out to work, you jump out the loft and
you, you know, use the facilities, you have food from the fridge and whatever. And then
you go back up into your little hole, you're holding the loft or whatever. Um, cause I've
seen a few videos anyway, but the one in particular that heard noises, uh, from the loft and that
noticed things moved and whatever. So that set up a camera, I think it was in the garage.
So there must've been living in the loft above the garage and, uh, the chap pretended to drive
off as if to go to work and whatever. And then you see the loft attach lift up, move
to the side and then look, this guy's head just pops down. So he's having a look around
and then he's got his own little ladder that he's got and he pulls it up, drops it down
to the floor. It starts coming down and your man walks through back into his garage. He's
like, fucking get out of the house you dickhead. Or to be kicks him out, or to be goes back
in, grabs his bag and then comes back out the loft and just does one look. Um, yeah,
I can't remember what it's called, but it's, it's quite common really. It's just, I mean,
I only know from lofts over here from going up and doing work so often with the insulation
that it's in the lofts and it's itchy and it's hot, you can't breathe. And if you look,
it has a lot of there, but you know, you haven't got power to be charging your phone or anything.
So if you're up there watching stuff on your phone all the time, you've only got a couple
of hours before he does. So you've got to be one equipped. You've got to have battery
banks and whatever. If you're in the toilet, you can't be like just waiting in the corner.
You'd notice a stain coming through on the loft and what are they? I don't know how people
do it to be fair. And what's good squirting? It's something like that. That's not actually
the word cause upwards of memory. Again, I've got peacock in my head, but it's not peacocking
cause that's showing off, trying to pull someone isn't it? Um, Oh God, that's going to do me
a thing now. But yeah, it is an actual thing. So it's the literally just holding over people's
houses, just leaving, just living. Yeah. Just obviously for free, which, um, I'll say, I
mean, you've been in America a few times as well. I mean, yeah, you've seen the homeless
situation over there. So it's understandable what people do. Have you never seen the video
recently? I think it was, it was over in LA or San Francisco. It was definitely in California
where there's a tent, obviously harmless geezer, but he's got a projector, it's watching TV
on a projector. Tent's fucking Matthew as well. And like, he's just chilling in there
watching a big projector in his fucking tent. But everyone I sold and be able to see what
he's watching then as well. No, you could, you could, you could, uh, I can't remember
what he watched, but I think watching just the news or something at the time. Yeah. But
the, the boring thing about San Francisco is you can go in there and Rob something and
unless it's over a son, I think it's $200. No, I think it's, it's, uh, under a thousand
dollars. No, New York, New York's under a thousand dollars. All right. So it's like,
I think San Francisco, I don't know. It's 200. So as long as it's $200, you can't get
done for it. Yeah. No, no. And then please get called out. There's going to give you
a warning. Yeah. If you get called. So you, you, you go home and speak, but just going
into his life, the stores, it's like an handful of shit.
It's a, it is mad because again, especially since they've got the gun laws and that, you
got out some balls to just walk in and I hope that you're not going to get shot because
you're stealing some food from the shop and that. I mean, obviously over here, people
do it and they're going with nose and whatever. And it's supposed to ease easier because the
time that he takes a place to come over and try and stop your arrest, you're on whatever
they're already gone in that. So yeah, you got to have some balls. Oh, I was sorry. I
was on the side. I was shocked. The amount of homeless people I did say that it is, um,
there's a few, it was weird to the foot to the point where you go down one street. Fine.
You turn like a left and it's just, just hundreds of, I mean hundreds of homeless people and
then you're fucking going down there. It is strange because you again, I've only seen
it on the TV, but it's like, there just be a whole street where it's just little tents,
the shopping trolleys just with all the parts and all it's just full of the homeless people.
It's, it's a strange reality really. It's a shame that obviously when anyone gets home
to us, everyone's got all the different circumstances. It's weird that, that's well, they can do
something about it. Not the homeless people. I'm on about the government's and that they
can do something about it. They're just choosing not to really, you know, I've found it interesting
for the last couple of years really with, not that I'll go to town centres often now,
but the amount of shops and everything that are closing due to the logs of Amazon just
dominating everything, you know, anything you need, Amazon, eBay, it's all there Etsy
and everything. So with all these empty shops and that on the whole streets, again, with
all the banks that are closing down and individual branches, what are they going to do with those?
Surely it would just be easy because a lot of the councils own those buildings in the
town centres anyway. So surely they could just convert those into hostels of sorts and
just move the homeless people in, but they won't do it because they won't be able to
make money off of it basically. It doesn't cost them money to do one. Yeah. Well, let's
say it's just, they could do it, they won't do it because they're not going to earn off
of it. Which is, it's a shame because there shouldn't be as many homeless people as there
is. I'll get it when it's self-inflicted because you've done gambling and drug addiction
and whatever. So you've lost all your money that way. But when you see it's the logs of
the ex military people that have lost everything because of PTSD or whatever and seeing them
on the streets, it's such a shame. You know, every now and again, I won't give them money
whenever I see a homeless person. I'll buy them food. So go in the shop, get them a sandwich
and a drink and whatever and give them that way. Because they said, you know, they're
not going to waste it on drugs and alcohol. I remember the one time when we was living
in a pub, I was walking from one pub down to another pub with Keifer and he just jacked
the fruit machine. So he's got 100 odd pounds in his pocket. And it was always the same
one outside the co-op next door. So anyway, and he's took the chap inside the shop, let
him just pick up all sorts and he's all, do you want one of that? Yeah, all right. So
he's picked up like a six pack of crisps, grabbed some sandwiches and lots of pop and
whatever. And it came up, do you want a beer? No, I'll be all right. He's all go on, have
some beer. And he's picked him up some cans of Stero or something. He's fell off 30 quid
on him. And he's still like giving him a tenner or something as well. I think he even bought
him some tobacco and roll him. Like, you're off your head, man. Fair enough. He's living
like a Kington, all these gays are his old, but you know, you're not helping him, giving
him drink and that as well really. But you know, yeah, it's, it's nice to pay forward
lots so much. I mean, that was a bit extreme with the alcohol and that he probably didn't
need that. But yeah, it's, it's nice to do it sometimes, but obviously some of them,
they are on the other scale, especially when you see the ones that aren't actually homeless,
they're just the milk in the system. I remember when I used to get the bus, I was working
on a building site in the town centre and there was this one couple, I've got Sinnerflot
three, four days in a row that come up to everyone at the bus stop. Kids in the hospital,
you got 20p for the bus, rare. And it's the same story every day. And how they can think
they can do it at the same time every day as well. You know, so after the first day,
everyone was having to do one there anyway. Yeah. People like that cracks me up, but they
can earn a lot of money doing it as well. I've seen bloody stories when they're on
the bloody 400 odd pound a day, just sitting there, just with a cup in their hand. So it's
crazy. But you think with how it's all going to change to the digital currency, which I
think is 20, 28, that's coming in. So King Charles, he probably won't even get his face
on a pound note yet. Since it will all be digital currencies, literally just bank cards.
What are these homeless people going to do? Cause you're not going to have any change
to give to them or anything. And buskers as well. I suppose with buskers, they could have
like a little pay machine. You could just tap and donate 50p or something, but homeless
people ain't going to be able to do that. Even though I have seen that, would have had
one. Well, obviously they're not homeless if they can afford it. Yeah. Cause you need a
bank card. Yeah. So yeah, their ones are a bit obvious. So yeah, it's going to be interesting.
Well, not interesting. It's going to be hard for them. They're not going to be able to
do anything. Not going to be able to receive any money. Yeah. Well, that's all going to
change in a few years. Yeah. Right off of the darkness a little bit now. Yeah. So you
had a good holiday. Obviously you've never been into any drug partaking or anything anyway.
So did you have any space cakes or anything? No, they sold against that. Yeah. It just
not really bad. Like cause you're walking in and saw back in the days with the, you
know, when you just smoke in the pubs, just smoke everywhere. So nah, nah. Oh no, don't
be stoned. I remember we'd go down to the Legion or wherever. And you, as soon as you
walk in, you didn't notice it much at first because it was the norm. So every, every room
just been a cloud of smoke. It was all the contestants on stars in the role is coming
out of the doorway. And I just, I used to hate the next day cause you wake up and your
clothes, your bedroom would stink. Your clothes stunk of smoke and you wouldn't be able to
get the same clothes two days in a row anyway. Even though Barry did, but you'd have to put
up straight in the wash. It was quite, quite surprising when they actually did bring that
more in that you couldn't smoke in some of what a difference it made. You know, I remember
pretty much one of the first nights getting up in the morning and then just still smacking
me aftershave on me t-shirt and not like a cloud of smoke and that dog, stinking like
an Astra. It was a, it definitely, definitely better because even with the vapes, I know
some places aren't as strict about it, but you know, not being able to puff on them inside,
I think that makes a difference as well. Even though I know it's different worldwide, you
still got countries that are allowed to smoke inside. Then there's some places where they
have like a separate smoking area and all that as well. Yeah, but it's definitely, definitely
for the better over here anyway. I can't stand it. Horrible. It is strange. No, I was going
to say, cause even when we left the concert last week, it was literally as soon as we
walked outside, everyone's just lost it. It's just, oh god, gagging at one point. It was
a, yeah, it's, it's horrible. It's horrible. I was just going to say how strange it is
when you go to look, obviously when you are a tourist in other countries and how that
worked, look, we just touched on the homeless in America, obviously here as well, which
is weird how, you know, you can go to some countries and still smoke, you know, in some
buildings or rooms or whatever, but just, I know that's, I suppose it's good in a sense.
That's the main thing of those caps and that in Amsterdam, isn't it? It's because that's
a controlled environment to smoke the weed and have your cakes and mushrooms and whatever,
because you're not allowed to just smoke it while you're out walking around. It has to
be inside or in there. Yeah. Cause again, it's only from what I've seen, there's, there's
numerous different products. There's one which looked like a bag of candy floss, but it's
just full of the smoke. Cause if it's like a bung, but in a bag and see they just sit
there and just inhale a little bit here and there. Yeah. I mean, maybe that's something
we can do a future episode, a special or something, get some mushrooms, which mushrooms is a mad
one. Cause the, the grown naturally it's mushroom season. Like you can find them special areas
like in the woods and whatever, but you can literally just see them while you're walking
around. But as soon as you pick it up, that's illegal. It's, it's, it's weird. It's, it's
me again. I know weed is technically a legal, it's a natural product because it grows itself
from the, even from the earth or if you put it in a pot yourself or, but you know, that's,
that's illegal. Um, but yeah, as soon as you pick up a mushroom, illegal, weird. Um, which
it's strange as well. Cause I don't know, I don't know what it, the way it's, um, medically
proven and medically available in most, if not all of America now, I think Canada as
well. Yeah. I think it varies on the style. Yeah. Um, so essentially you just have a medical
card and go into whatever shop that, uh, provides it and you just show your card and then they
give it to you. And I don't know what state it was now, but there's a few of them anyway,
but once they started doing that and it's, uh, all controlled and provided through the
governments, uh, crime rates went down because they're not wasting time just picking up little
drug dealers because there's no need for them. They have them drug dealers anyway. No. And
it's not research levels went up profits towards the state governments and whatever. All these
things went up and so all that information's available yet. We still won't make it legal.
I'm not saying it because I haven't smoked weed for a good of years now, to be fair.
Um, not that I used to smoke a lot anyway, but, uh, it was, I think it's, uh, what was
it? Teresa Manning, who was the prime minister for a little while, her husband is not the
biggest worldwide provider for CBD oil. So essentially whatever farm unit or something
that's got over here grows a load of weed, extracts the oil and sells it worldwide. So
you think, Oh yeah, it's all all for them to be able to grow it and do whatever they
need to because it suits them. But then they won't promote or sort out a service for everyone
else. That's just the rich keeping themselves rich again, isn't it? You know, there's plenty
that Rishi soon soon acts doing as well. Um, but he's nice to say that Trump's going to
back in power soon. That'd be fun. Uh, I saw the interview, uh, that he did the other week.
Again, I've only seen clips of people. He gets asked the question. Um, well, into typical
Trump stories, he gets asked the question to do with something, which, uh, it was basically
along the lines of how much money has already been sent over to Ukraine to help with the
war. And would you still continue to keep that money? And so he skirts around a little
bit and then because he keeps getting asked about it, no, you're not answering the question.
You're not answering it. He just goes, look, when I'm president again, look, it will be
over in a day because we're good friends with Putin and the other one and that. Yeah, that's
it. So cause I'm friends with them, I'll just sit them down and then tell them to stop being
friends. Basically. And it will be over in a day. We'll all be shaking hands and having
a steak meal or whatever he comes out with. And he's just, he's just golden. It was just
so funny. Even his campaign, it's just slagging off Biden and videos of Biden's going up the
steps into a plane and he falls off the stairs and there's one where he's struggling to put
his coats on and this and that. And Trump's still doing his usual tweets, just laughing
at him and everything. But the whole campaign is like, Biden's done this, we'll do this
better. We'll do it this way. And you just have to laugh. And to be honest, I don't follow
politics much anyway, but the other chap who's running, he's trying to do it against Trump,
but he's also slagging off Biden as well. So it doesn't seem like they're actually promoting
what they want to do too much. They're just saying, Biden's not doing anything. He's not
going to do anything. Let's get him out. Let's get mean log. So yeah, it'd be interesting
to see what happens over there. Yeah. It's just mad. Any America's just mad in general.
Shout out to our American fans. We do appreciate that. Speaking of which, you know, we do know
that some of yous out there are in America, Washington and we've had a look at the stats,
but yous are there. So send us any questions in and out. We want to know what you think
about our views on your country. And yeah, if you've got any topics or anything you want
us to talk about, just think it over. We open ears. We want to hear what you have to say.
So have you got anything else you want to say about old Amsterdam?
No, no, no, not really. I think we touched on all the aspects. I mean, just everything
that I thought was weird and wonderful. Yeah. Weird and wonderful. Yeah.
Well, so while you was on your jolly, I was having a long week at work, just grafting
as always. But one of the days we had the notes after I'd eaten, wasn't really paying
attention to the TV or just finished my food. And then as I was about to go up to bed, I'd
noticed the program on the TV. So it was called DNA Family Secrets. And it was this old chap,
I'd say he was in his eighties. I didn't see the backstory up leading to me. But so he
didn't know anything about his family history. It was one I've gathered. So it was essentially
like that DNA test. I can't think of the bloody name of that now. But where it tells you your
heritage. Oh yeah, ancestral. Yeah. So it'll tell you if you're Scottish or Spanish or
whatever. So they've done that. And the lady sitting there, she's like, right, so we've
picked up names of, I'm guessing it was adopted as well because they were coming out with
different surnames. And so they were saying this name, that name, blah, blah. So going
off of that, it's 91% certain that your grandfather wasn't a Nazi. And he looked so disappointed.
I thought he was going to cry. But obviously he didn't mean it in that way. But to me,
he just looked like he was disappointed that he wasn't a Nazi. So his family was Jewish
from what she was getting at basically. But it really looked like he was disappointed.
And he didn't say anything about it. And then his wife come onto there and they were explaining
on where his family come from. And they had the map that it was from here and there and
different parts and that. But I thought it was quite interesting. It was at the end of
the show and plus I was going to bed anyway. So I think that's a program that I might watch
a little bit more of to be fair. But it was just his initial reaction. I thought it was
so funny because he did just look devastated as if he wanted to be a Nazi, but he wasn't.
I don't know why you would want to be one these days. I'm sure it was good back in the
day when Hitler was around. If that's what you wanted to be a part of. What was he German
then? So from what I gathered, he didn't know what he was. Which I suppose that's the whole
premise. I'm wondering why she was saying you won and that's it. I don't know. He more
than told that his family was from. Yeah, it might have been from that. It might have
been maybe the adoption papers where he was. I don't know. Whatever. If he was, I can't
figure the name of the homes for him now, but where did the kids get adopted from? Oh,
sorry. Yeah. Yeah. So from one of them places might be whatever documents they had from
there because they didn't have parent details that maybe the four he was either. So I thought
it was just a weird thing to say when she's like, you're not, you're, you know, you're
coming in from like Nazis or whatever. That's just the word. Yeah. Obviously you only put
that segment. So it was just a weird. I probably should have went back and rewatch the episode
or something like that. But yeah, it was literally just look devastated. But I mean, to be fair,
once that says that he was whatever percentage, uh, Jewish family in that you did have that
stereotypical big nose. So once it says that was all kind of a bit obvious. Um, but yeah,
I just thought that was a funny little moment. The other night. Uh, I mean, to be fair, I'm
not watching much TV this week, to be fair. It literally has been, uh, out early getting
back, doing the usual walk in the dog and that, um, Oh God, which he had his moment
again, the other day. Yeah. Uh, Amazon packet. Luckily he didn't need the blue tap that was
on the side because what came out of him was bad enough as it was. So I wouldn't have been
out on the blue coming out of him as well. Jesus, man. He's off his head. But again,
even with walking him earlier, the little chihuahua going out, trying to attack him
and the lady can't even hold the lead back properly. And it's a chihuahua and she's
struggling to hold it. I'm like, you need to sort your dog out. But you know, it's not
mine's there. Not just all excited just to be at the house and that log and yours is
ready to go draw blood. It's not right, man. So he's only like, you're with me. No, I
see that dog all the time in your window. It's always aggressive. No, you know, give
me a chill pill or something. But, uh, yeah. So no TV or anything. I've not really done
any prep for this to be fair. It's just, it's been hard getting it all sorted. Hasn't
it? It's been a lot of tech, obviously it's took us by. We spent over two hours messing
around. We were trying to get it sorted. So yeah, we've got there. Hopefully from now
on we're back to usual. Yeah. We weekly weekly posts. Um, but one thing that I have been
meaning to say for a while to be fair, look, um, so you look a little bit of an, uh, an
accumulator and acrobat from time to time. Don't you? Yeah. I'll do it every now and
again as well. I'm not really much of a gambler, but I think this is something that we should
do. So just on the, uh, basic betting of put it as roulette basically red or you black.
So you've got a 50, 50 chance. You're 16 bets away from being a millionaire. So if I remember
it rightly, if you start off with a hundred pound, so you constantly doubling it, doubling
it. So I think it's somebody that you'd get to look about a couple of grand. You go fuck
that's the moral thing. But I think, I think you just got to go for it really. Yeah. You
could put it first one. That's the risk though. Isn't it? Yeah. I think if you could turn
a hundred quid into like, as soon as you start like 30 grand, you just walk away. There's
no, there's no way you would risk 40 grand, but then I'll just half it again. No, I know
what you're saying, but then it's, it's, I don't know. Am I in the moment? I suppose.
I think you'd be a funny one to do one day. If we could just sit here, I don't think you
can't record it though. But you mean like doing on the laptop? Yeah. Yeah. So not actually
putting on screen, but look, record our reactions while we're doing it. That would be an interesting
episode because it could be two minutes long. It could be a fucking hour long, couldn't
it? Um, just watching the short episode. Yeah. But yeah, that, that, that'd be a raw emotions
coming out. Cause could you imagine it? Cause I think the final figure is like a million,
uh, not 1.3 million, something like that with the way it works out. I should have had all
the maps ready for it really, but nevermind. Um, so yeah, cause you imagine you're at like
600 odd Faser and you're on your 16th spin now and we've put it all on reds. I couldn't,
I couldn't. I think you're worth it though. No, no, no, I don't. If, if some, if someone's
said to you the 600 grand in our cash or you can double it or lose it, you just take it.
You can buy it. You can do everything you want. Buy a house, buy your dream car, holiday,
have money in the bank. You never have to worry. I just wouldn't. But then you could
do all that twice then? You could do it all twice. You could do it all like zero times.
Yeah. How much you'd be more good if you ended up walking away with nothing because you had
it. But if we did it between a pair of us, you think we're only £50 down there? I think
you know what we would have. No, no, you can't think that way cause no, but that's, that's
the really you know what we'd have to do. You'd have to do one or I'd have to do one.
So a hundred quid for you, a hundred quid for me. So that way, because I know if I got
to about a couple of grand, I'll take it out. I'd be like fuck, I ain't carrying this on.
I've 50 quid. I know I'd like to give you the big balls and just keep going. But yeah,
I dunno. So let's get it on that. So we were starting on a hundred. So obviously your first
one, 200 is up to 200. So 200 we're still going for. Yeah. I think it's in T starting
the thousands. Yeah. So number three, 400 still going for it easy. You know, it's, it's
just fucking, I mean, don't run. I know it sounds a bit cocky. Some people, 400 pound
isn't a lot of money to some people. It is. No. Yeah. In terms of what you, what was I'm
like the whole point is, yeah. So I, yeah. Number three is eight and then number four,
this is when we're into six, six now, 1600. Now here's what I'll be thinking. Don't just
take this and then just fucking call it a day. Cause I've turned 50 quid into that.
Yeah. But then, so again, 1600, I'm still thinking, oh, no, no, I want more. So, oh,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So it'd be 3000. So there's
no, why there's no, why you have a hundred quid and you've turned into 3,200 and you're
carrying off. I still feel like I would at this point. Yeah. See, so you've definitely
started. I think, I think if, if there's 3,200, I'm taking it off 400 quid. I think that's
where I, if I've got it and it's on my balance, I'll probably walk away. So this is what we
would have to do in separate. Yeah. So we'd have to do the same lot, red or black then.
So you'd still know if I carry on, you'd still know. Oh, we do it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
We can't do opposite. That could be a separate episode. And also what, if we're doing it,
so we're throwing a couple of quid on green constantly just in case. Or is it just, no,
because it has to be. Yeah. I'll see if it's zero, if it's zero anyway, it's, you've lost
as well. Yeah. So it's, yeah, we've this way, it's literally just a heads or tails, a red
or black. So I'm going on. I've got the six. It is where it starts with really good numbers.
So 6,400 then run to 12. I'm still going. I know you think, so if you're 12, 12, five's
900, I'm on a roll. But you could be like, I could take this money and just do it. Like
a 400 quid. Like you'll never, well, you'll say, you'll never get that kind of money.
You get it for 100 quid. But I think really strictly, if I got to 12, I might be tight
the 10 and play the two, two. I, you know, it starts to be logical about it. So you don't
lose it all. Then I suppose when you start getting blocked, anything over 10 grand, you're
probably, when you started in that, I think you'd have to take the 10, play the two way
because then, so I'm just, I'm just, but you make a note of you too, right? Because
we'll work that out afterwards then, but I'm, I'm still going. And then the next one, 24,600.
Now that, that started to twist me a little bit there. So I'm saying 24 grand. And then,
so the next one's going to be, I've still got 50. Yeah. So, so that's, this is where
it starts. Yeah. Every one of these now, this is where you definitely thinking, Oh God,
that is, that's life changing. So how many wins is that in a row? That is, is that six
in a row to get to that? Is it six? Sorry. It's all because I messed up in last. So let
me, uh, four, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. So that's eight, eight
wins, spins. I see 25 grand, 600 and then knowing he's 51,000. So you only need to get
10 or 400 grand. Yeah. But then, so 10, you're on 102,400. Yeah. So just, just imagine, I
think if we, if we did this, we'd have to have a couple of beds because nerves are,
you want to be logical about it all the time and you rather than just, yeah, we've had
a couple of drinks that the nerves aren't going to be there. It's not, you're going
to be like, yeah, I'm no, I mean, big born. Yeah. Maybe I'd probably spend more than what
I said, but she was the 3,200 or whatever. Yeah. When you started into the 50 grand,
102, it's, it's the poem where you'd have to say, I'm like, we've had a few beers, a
hundred quid, we've done it. Like, let's just call it an hour. But I'd still go, I've got
to this point, I'm going again. So I'm after that. So you just imagine that you had 102
and then you lost it. Yeah. You'd be like, you'd be like, yeah, you know, I only put
50 quid on the lever, but I'm telling you now, I know that you'd think about that for
the rest of your life. You'd think about it more losing a hundred grand than playing out,
playing out. I think so. I think you'd care more about losing the hundred grand than playing
out from a hundred grand. Yeah. But the reports greater than the risk. So we're on 204,800
at the moment, man. And then we're on, it goes up to 409,600. So then again, after that,
it's so why there. So if you actually go up to 400 and 409,000, you wouldn't plan. Oh,
no. Yeah. I think at this point I've definitely already cashed in. I think for me, if we ever,
if we was to do this and we ever got anywhere near a hundred grand, I'd have to be like,
give me out. I couldn't, I couldn't plan on more. That would, that would be more. See.
So again, I think we'd go back then. We'd have to do something. If we got to the 102,000,
I think that's where we split it in half. So we've got 25 each and then we carry on
with the other 51. Yeah. But that's an extra step. You got to, you got to try and beat
the odds already to get 16 in a row. Now you've got to get 17. So we're at 409,800, 819,200.
Then the last one after that, then 1.638 million. So it's a lot of, it's, it's a lot of wind
spins to win in a row. I don't think you're ever going to do this because you're emotionally
already all over the place. But we're just hypothetical. When you think about it, to
win 19 heads or tails, technically what it is in a row. Yeah. 16 to get to that point.
Yeah. You know, it's, I don't think it's, no, it's, it's, I would be good at my, my
job. I would be good at my job. I would be good at my job. I would be good at my job.
Cause I, cause I know if you bang that out, I know you'd give me some. I think realistic
to judge when you start hitting the hundred grand, that's when you, I think even you would
have to be like, it's a hundred grand or 50 quid. It's, it's like, you can do a hundred
grand, like life. Not so it's not life. It is. It is. It is. But it's life changing.
Don't get me wrong. The million quid is definitely life changing. You have no worries whatsoever
then. But that hundred grand, I think his way forward was to risk it to that. That would
be like, I ain't losing a hundred grand on a spin. On one spin. Well, I think that's
definitely something we're going to have to do. Yeah. We should definitely have to set
it up. Yeah. What if we both just lose one or two? Yeah. I think if that happens, like
if we don't, if we lost pretty much strata wide, then we'd have to do it again after
a couple of weeks. Yeah. Yeah. Be interesting. Yeah. It's going to be a funny one. Um, yeah.
So I think we've done well considering we didn't really have any prep for this week.
Um, hopefully I'll have more time now to get back into it. Uh, get some topics, actually
just spend half an hour looking on my phone, watching one of the crappy videos to get some
topics back in, in mind. Um, but anyway, uh, yeah. So we'll call that a part. Uh, don't
forget to log to Croyboard at Jazz, send in any emails to us at realtalkingpod at gmail.com.
Uh, the Twitter, it did change from the original one. So it's Ash and JD. Uh, again, when
I get back into it, I will sort out an Instagram or whatever. Uh, just don't have enough hours
in the days or days in the weeks. Um, so yeah, hope you enjoyed. Don't forget to share as
well. And we'll see you next week then.
