Hello everybody and welcome back to the Real Talking Podcast, episode 10.
We've had an interesting week haven't we?
I don't know if that's still going but never mind.
End of the Premier League season now.
I know you don't follow me too much since Blues have been in the championship for a long time.
Not that you follow them for years now really.
Everton escaped the relegation by literally just scoring a goal.
Southampton, they were gone a while ago.
Leicester and Leeds down.
Big Sam couldn't keep Leeds up.
No, he said he was good as Pat Burnie at one point.
Yeah, yeah.
So that was a shame really.
For Leeds fans that is.
Liverpool, they did well to get to fifth.
Good and bad season really for Newcastle.
It was a shame to finish fourth and yet really considering how well they did in the fourth season.
So if Man City win the Champions League, Liverpool gets to go in the Champions League?
No, they'll just be in the Europa League.
Yeah, because it did happen before didn't it?
It did happen before.
But no.
No, it doesn't want that now.
Not anymore, no.
They're in the Europa and...
Villa and Brawler are in the...
Brawler's in the Europa as well and then Villa, they got into the Conference League.
Which again, it's a league one of the Champions League stuff.
It's not needed is it?
It ain't to be fair.
It is one of those cups and it's only worth it if you win it.
But again, so if you win that, you only automatically get into the Europa League the next season.
But I mean, I think they'll do a role to be fair.
They've had a decent enough season when Emery took over.
It'll be interesting because obviously when a lot of these teams do get European football,
they struggle with the league then because they can't keep up with the man on more games.
So it'll be interesting to see how they're doing the league next season.
But I think Cup run, they'll do a role because they've had a decent off season anyway.
Arsenal, Bodleby, which is a shame really because it would have been nice to see someone over the man seat win the league again.
I did see somewhere that Arsenal have spent more time at the top than anyone else.
Like Wigs at the top, at the top of the Premier League and still didn't win it.
Because there was like literally first all the way through up until about six weeks ago.
Yeah, pretty much by the end of the season.
But it is a shame.
But I mean, again, Man City can even beat their own points record.
It's just, they're just unbeatable.
They just go on a run and don't stop winning.
So it's down to United really to beat them this Saturday because Inter Milan in the Champions League for winning that game.
I don't know. I think Inter Milan just got as good a chance as Man Utd to win them.
It was Man Utd though. I hate Man Utd.
Yeah, I know you do.
But I don't know. I think they will beat United in the FA Cup.
And I can't see Inter Milan winning really to be fair.
So I think the trouble is going to be theirs.
But hopefully not because that's, you know, it's been hard to find really these days.
You can't really hold on to much else.
I would like them to win the Champions League.
I think they deserve to.
Well, they do and they don't.
I mean, obviously Pep is the best bloody coach in the world really, isn't he?
But all these charges that are against them, you know, it's always going to be tainted when they do get actually, it's 108 charges or something.
And there's got to be a few that definitely stick.
So it's all going to be tainted. They can't, can't hold on it.
And I know Pep's changed his tune now as well because he said the other day, if they do get convicted, then they'll stick with them regardless.
So to me, that means he knows that they've been cheating basically.
I would love to see Pep, like, you know, just a standard club, not like, you know, I think so, like, I don't know, like a Villa.
I think if he went to Brighton, he'd do well because obviously Brighton's recruitment and all that is top tier really.
So I think Brighton, he'd make them win.
I think he'll do a Simon's club.
You know, like when they've won everything, I don't know why they're just like, you know what?
I'm like, you know, like, George Mourinho takes those risks a little bit, doing it with Tottenham and Roam.
Which I had to laugh at him. He says the other day that Tottenham's the only former club that he has no emotion for.
Yeah.
Which, you know, that's all leave his fault really, isn't it?
Yeah.
He's just had no ambition.
But yeah, Ringo, he's still, he's still.
Because he's in the final of the Europa League, isn't he? With Roam, I'm sure he got to the final of the Europa League.
Yeah, yeah. Roam and Sevilla, isn't he? I believe.
Sevilla are always in there.
Yeah, yeah.
They're fucking, why are they always in there?
They're just not into winning.
They're in there, they're just not into winning.
They're just not into winning.
But obviously, because the one hit last year, they got into the Champions League.
Yeah, they did.
Lost out of that.
And then straight back into Europe.
You shouldn't drop in to Europe, though.
I don't think it should.
No.
Because Barcelona dropped out and Manuel had to play on.
And obviously Manuel had beat them.
Didn't do well against Sevilla.
So it's entertaining on that prospect.
But I mean, how often is a big team like Barcelona going to drop down into it?
I think quite often, no.
Another one, another one in the league.
Yeah.
Which again, did you see the scenes of that?
They were celebrating Espanol's ground after the...
Oh, because it's the derbies, isn't it?
I didn't say nothing, no.
They were literally, the team and the staff and that,
they were doing like a celebration circle.
So they're dancing and spinning around and that.
And the home fans just had enough of it, started evading the pitch.
And you just see all the barter players running to try and escape down the top.
And there was like three stewards just trying to stop these fans.
Yeah, you can see the rest of it around the side.
But literally it's a lot of iron stuff and you can't be bothered.
Yeah, they just darted off.
Yeah, so it's been an interesting season really.
I just find every year it just gets more exhausting.
I mean, apart from the fact that City just keep winning.
But since Leicester won the Premier League a few years ago,
it's just every time just more insane.
You think, how can it get better?
I mean, at the start of the season,
especially after the first two games losing,
no one would have put money on the man who'd always finish in third.
And yet they have, went on a good enough run.
I know there was a few optimistic people saying that they were going to be in a total race.
But as soon as that talk came out, they lost a few games in a row.
So that was never going to happen.
But I think it's been a good season all around again.
Commiserations to Coventry just missing out as well.
Lost on penalties to lose some time.
That's a bit mad, Louden, is it?
Imagine that.
They have to do some reforbs now to make it fit though, isn't it?
Well, I know they've already been doing some renovations on it anyway.
But it's literally in the middle of a house in the States.
Yeah, literally. You're in the back gardens, aren't you?
That'll be interesting, seeing some of the big teams going in there.
They have done much. They came all the way from the conference, didn't they?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They've put it the way off.
Again, it's a lot with the promoted teams this season.
Fulham, apart from when Mitrovic lost his heads and got sent off and got the eight match, bam.
Dad were on fire.
And he's just come back.
He was looking to get off to the sent off.
I forget yesterday, actually.
But yeah, I think 11th or 10th day finished.
Bournemouth, again, newly promoted.
I thought Bournemouth would have went down.
Yeah, but they did well.
Everton are lucky though, ain't they?
Yeah, every time.
Because that would have financially fucking done them.
Yeah, it would have.
Yeah, it would have been a new stadium and everything.
It would have been devastating.
Yeah, that would have done them.
That would have fucking, like Leeds.
Yeah.
Then again, you think Chelsea, half a billion spent on that team.
And I top over to appoint Lampard for the last thought.
Yeah.
I just don't know what those for that game to say.
You know what though?
They're just a good manager away.
Yeah, yeah.
I really think that.
Yeah.
I mean, they've still got Lukaku as well.
Yeah, yeah.
But he can't handle the Prem though, properly can he?
I don't know.
Everton was his best season in the Premier League, I reckon.
He didn't do well at United.
Yeah, but he played on the Royal.
I think with the Royal manager, I think he just needs an arm around him with the old
players, telling him he's great.
But again, he didn't do it enough for Solskjaer though.
But still, I can't see him doing much better next season though, to be fair.
Pachacino.
He's...
Yeah.
No, I don't know.
You know, I really...
When I look at the team, I know they have to give away some players and I think they're
getting rid of Mouser and Mane.
Just to balance the books out a little bit.
A little bit.
A lot of them got to balance it out.
Yeah.
Yeah, it'd be interesting to see what happens with Chelsea next season.
Because they've got no European football.
No.
That's what I think.
I think it'd be a good buy-in, to put them to win the league next season.
I really think so, mate.
Yeah.
I mean, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on their pre-season, just to see how Pach
starts to run the team, really.
I mean, obviously he'd done well at Southampton.
He did all right for Tottenham, really, but Bottledeek with the Champions League final,
Bottledeek winning less than the one that did the Premier League, because they were the
only team that pushed them all the way, really.
I feel that he just lacks that form mentality.
And, you know, his stint at PSG, anyone, the groundsman, can completely run PSG and still
win the title.
So it's a bit of a strange one.
But then Tottenham, they've still got no manager yet, either.
There's been a lot of managers that have turned.
Turned that job.
Yeah.
Just got no money.
It's just a dead job, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
But I do feel that if Sir Jim Ratcliffe does buy Man United, then changes him.
I think he's going to buy Tottenham.
OK.
Yeah.
It will be cheaper than buying Man United.
They've already got the stadium, the hotel and everything.
Yeah, and they've got the training ground.
Yeah, yeah.
He won't have to put much money in at all.
And he'll turn Tottenham into the new Man City.
You know, Newcastle are on the way there.
They've got all that funding from Saudi Arabia.
So, yeah, now that Newcastle are in the top four, they're going to drop out.
Yeah, they've got more for that FFP now, aren't they?
Yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, there's a United fan.
Obviously, I don't want that to happen.
I don't want the glazers staying in whatsoever.
And the way that Sir Jim's bloody looking at keeping them a part of the club and all that,
it's not looking good.
But I don't know, we'll find out after next weekend, I reckon.
Once that happens, I don't know.
It's got to get done soon so they can do their summer business.
Yeah.
Getting through the doors.
Apparently, it was either way, whether it sold during the window or not.
Apparently, we've still got £200 million to sign players,
but I can't see that happening.
You know, they're already a billion in debt with what the glazer, the club,
and how much they already owe on previous transfers and stuff.
So, I can't see it happening.
I know they could raise probably about 100 mil from selling players, but...
Where do you reckon Harold McGuire will go?
You know what? If he went over to Italy, it'd be all right.
You reckon?
Yeah, because they're slower leagues, really, aren't they?
I know AC Milan are ever interested.
Apparently.
I don't know how they can afford his wide.
No, he's going to have to...
Drop his wide, he's all manly, you're going to have to substar a little bit.
If he goes on loan, then yeah, they will do.
But yeah, let's say Chris Smalling went over to Rome, absolutely busted.
Obviously, when actually young, went over to Inter as well.
He performed well.
Well, it didn't actually cover...
It's not called young.
Actually, he went to... from United, to Inter and that.
Oh, he did, didn't he?
Yeah, yeah.
Fucked that up.
Yeah, won the title with them, and then went over to Aston Villa then.
And to be fair, he's still playing that.
Got in Europe with them.
Yeah, yeah.
Thank you, man.
Yeah, so I think Italy would be a good league for him.
Otherwise, the likes of Tottenham, where they're happy to play a back five.
Yeah, because that's the only time when he can, I'd say, play OK.
He's got two other defenders either side of him to hold his hand, basically.
I mean, watching the game yesterday, it was just disgusting.
I'll just... I mean, I get it.
Wanting to rest for Anne and Luke Shaw ready for the final next week.
It's... you know, you've got to put McGuire in the shop window for any potential bias.
But it was just... Lindelof looked shaky straight away.
Obviously conceded the first goal.
You know, it wasn't a good performance from the back line, basically.
It was all because Harry McGuire was in it.
You know, there's no skirting around it.
It's just the whole defence just looked shaky because they're trying to watch what he's about to fuck up.
And then, you know, look after it.
But, yeah, I don't know. We'll see what happens.
I mean, he doesn't have to go anywhere, does he?
He can just say, no, I'm staying here. I'll sit on the bench then.
But hopefully this is where Southgate actually turns around and does an actual manager's job and says,
no, you need to go somewhere and play first-team football or what.
I can't keep picking yet.
Did he make the England squad?
He's made it. Anne Carlton-Phillips has made it as well.
He's made one Premier League start this season, or maybe two now.
I don't know if he started yesterday.
How can you just afford playing these, well, picking these two people when they've not been playing?
Southgate cracks me up.
Yeah, because he said he wouldn't pick players that are playing.
Yeah, on form and that as well. But no, he just hasn't done it.
He's an absolute joke. God.
I'll try to pass some messages on to get to him, but they never get through to that, unfortunately.
But yeah, I think that would be an amazing one for Maguire if, say, Southgate took the Tottenham job.
Not that he will, but if he got offered in Tokyo, they'd definitely buy him.
He'd be first on the transfer list then, wouldn't they?
I mean, again, Harry Kane, he's got to go.
I don't know why he keeps committing to Tottenham. He's just never going to win anything.
I think the four of us just give him enough money in there.
Yeah, definitely. They've given him enough money, but it's the...
How many times have we promised that...
Like the other project.
Yeah, we're going to push to win things and now you're going to lead out.
Because he's 30 now, isn't he?
I think he's 30 in a couple of weeks.
Yeah, he needs to move. I've always thought he'd end up at Bayern Munich already.
But he's got his eye on that Premier League goalscoring record.
What does he want more, though?
Well, you know, it'd be linked to him too much.
If he actually came to you, you'd be like, yeah, Otsaing is here now, then he's going to get the goals.
But, yeah, I don't really want him.
I think Newcastle would be a better shot for him, to be fair.
Because I feel Newcastle have a better chance of winning the total in the next couple of seasons before he actually retires.
So, yeah, it'd be interesting.
Do you reckon Newcastle is going to win the Premier League before Man Utd?
Even with the takeover?
Unless it's shaped his aim.
I think if he takes over.
Yeah, if he takes over, it's going to be a completely different story then.
You know, the cheat code, isn't it?
When you're bought a football manager and you put the cheat codes in, you've got unlimited money.
Man City done that years ago.
Obviously, Newcastle have got it now.
Real Madrid and Barcelona have had it forever.
They always seem to find money somewhere.
So, Barcelona, they're like in a state of financial crisis.
Yeah, but they always find it, don't they?
They sold off so many rights, apparently.
That's how they were able to carry on this season.
I feel that this Super League is going to come back into play in the next year or so, roughly, as well.
Did you watch the documentary about the Super League?
I didn't, no.
I watched it and I actually agree.
I think it's a good thing.
I don't think it will, though.
Because it's just going to be long, though.
You think, no, okay.
When you play FIFA, when kids play FIFA, they pick pretty much everyone that was in that Super League.
And what they're saying is, it will bring new audiences in because kids nowadays don't watch football.
Even though I've dropped off watching football.
But how many times has Bayern Munich played Mania five times or so?
Probably a bit more.
How many times has Barcelona played, I don't know, Man City?
It's just every week there's no, I'm watching Brentford v Southampton on Saturday night.
Yeah, so I'll get it on that sort of ball.
And don't forget, the Premier League was a Super League.
That's how we got formed.
Everyone was against the Premier League getting formed.
Yeah, but the way that they've actually done it, obviously, keeping the promotion system.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they actually shared the money out, like, evenly.
Obviously, you get more money if you finish top and all that, though.
You know, TV roles and everything, that all gets shared out between all the teams.
That's what, you know, Nottingham Forest coming up last season,
spent ridiculous money, I think it was like 15 players or something, they're going.
And then obviously, we're staying up this season now.
You know, that's more money in the bank.
They're going to spend like another 100 million or something from what I'm hearing.
So it's going to be a, it's more of a level playing field.
Whereas if this Super League goes through, then the logs of, you know,
we see Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool,
they're going to get over an extra 200 million every year there.
So that would just destroy the Premier League even more.
Yeah, I did see that the other Premier club signed like a waiver saying
they won't leave the Premier League, but they can get formed like a couple of hundred million.
Yeah, so yeah, they can't leave straight away.
They'd have to stay in it for a couple of years.
And then it's already crazy enough with the fixture congestion as it is.
They'd have to get rid of Champions League football,
or at least the people, the clubs that are in the Super League wouldn't be able to participate in it.
That's the problem with the Champions League,
when you're playing, what's that team, Sheriff.
Yeah, yeah.
Against Real Madrid.
It's like, and Real Madrid win seven there, we go, oh fuck, I didn't expect that.
That's what's wrong with the Champions League.
Yeah, they could have been a four-man team.
It's not competitive.
There's too many levels in the group stage.
It should be more competitive.
Yeah, so in that sense, they should change the way that they do the part system for drawing your house.
It should be more of the group of death, where you're going to have Real Madrid, AC Milan, Bayern Munich and all that in the same group.
Maybe similar to how they do the Euro qualifiers or the World Cup qualifiers,
where it's a little league table.
Maybe just play each other once because of fixture congestion.
And then, yeah, the top two of that table go through to the next stage, like an instant knockout stage or something.
That's where the Super League was coming from, when you're watching those kind of games.
It's not interesting.
Yeah.
And no one watches them.
It's from a lot of the audience perspective.
Yeah.
But I just, I think because of the money that will be pumped into it, it will just make the rest of the leagues just unfair.
No-one in Real Madrid and Barcelona want to get out of the league because they've got no money.
In Real Madrid, they don't want to be left behind.
Well, no, they won't want to be left behind.
But, I mean, we've been talking about football all day and what ifs and everything.
Yeah.
So, yeah, end of the season anyway.
It's going to be interesting, a few weeks with transfers and everything.
We'll see what happens with all that.
Yeah.
And, yeah, we'll see what happens with next season, really.
I'm looking forward to it.
I'm not going to watch any of the England games coming up.
I don't even know who I'm playing, to be fair, but I can't watch England's Southgate football, which was terrible.
So I won't be watching any of it.
Yeah, I'll just start watching the pre-season games once they start.
Yeah.
But moving on to other weekly news then.
So, we've lost one nonce and gained another.
Old Rolf Reborn, he passed away, Rolf Harris.
What, in jail?
Or has he been other?
No, he's died.
Yeah, but was he, before he died, did he die in jail?
I don't know, I just saw that he died.
Well, and actually, he, what, did he come out, did he go?
I think he was, to be clear, in the end.
Yeah.
I mean, it was always a bit tongue in cheek with his songs and that, weren't it, really, you know, fucking two little boys, his songs and all that.
Can you tell if it's in yet?
Fucking, with his didgeridoo, fucking weirdo.
So yeah, he's gone and all this drama about Philip Schofield, this silver Foxy nonce, has come out now.
So I know you don't watch this morning or anything.
No, and I don't really listen and watch news stuff, does it, just once, you know?
Well, I've been seeing it floating around for a quarter of a while about Philip Schofield anyway, because it is floating around about someone else.
It's been over a year, talk about these super injunctions and that way, the pain, whatever money, so newspapers, they can't spill any stories or anything out.
So there's one about someone else that I don't even want to say the name anyway, because it'd be devastating if it is actually true.
Where did you hear these ones now?
Most of it's all on TikTok, or whatever reels that I look at.
But his name was dropped in with a list of a few people, which Schofield was dropped in.
And this, I say, probably nearly 12 months ago when I first seen these little videos.
So it's all come out this week.
Obviously, he's quit this morning.
And then Holly's had a bit of a break as well, because she's emotionally not disturbed, emotionally unstable with everything that's going on.
Oh, so she's trying to protect her image?
Yeah, she's trying to protect herself.
She's been partners with him for so long.
Yeah, yeah, she knew about this, but anyway.
What's happened though?
So his brother was convicted recently, I think he's been given 12 years for grooming.
Don't know the full ins and outs, how much he's done or hasn't done or whatever, but definitely convicted of grooming.
And so the story goes with Philip, is that I believe it was through work experience or something from school,
this young lad, when he was 13, 14, got in touch with Philip.
And then Philip ended up helping him get into the background of being a showrunner for this morning and part of OTV.
So it was literally as soon as he left school at 16, 17, whatever it was, he was working as a part of Philip's background team.
And then after he came out as gay.
I always find that was strange.
Yeah.
You have, because you've got daughters, you get married, you have daughters, then you're so old, like 50, you know what?
I'm gay.
That's what I always thought.
I think he was married for 23 years or something as well.
That's weird, because you know, you must know pretty young that you are all, but yeah, but everyone, he was brave for doing that.
Yeah, he was brave. Everyone was his friends.
And if that was just how it was, then yeah, fair enough.
It's a hard thing to have been holding all those years and then come out.
I always felt sorry for his wife actually, because it's one thing with him doing all that.
But you know, she was a part of this lie for all those years as well.
Yeah, like how long does she, like, yeah, yeah.
And the kids.
Yeah, the kids.
Because they're still, it's a dad.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
It's the dad's.
Yeah, it was a shame at that point.
So that was kind of the start of downfall for him really.
So with that happening, everything started changing.
So the lad that he got working for him, essentially a couple of months ago, he left this morning.
The rumour is that Philip forced him out because he was trying to keep him quiet.
Even though Philip's come out and says, no, he left on his own accord.
I didn't force him or anything.
He wasn't sacked.
But he forced him out.
So essentially, he started grooming him when he first met him.
Might not have done anything until he was over 16, but he has basically admitted once he was 16,
then he started having this affair.
So while he was married to his wife, before he'd come out, he started having this affair.
And essentially because he was trying to keep it quiet, that he was because of how young he was.
That's what things are starting to come out now.
So he's left.
He's threatening legal action and wanting to take control of everything.
He wants to, he's wanted.
But there's more things that haven't actually come out of seeing a lot of Eamonn Holmes.
So he used to work with him on this morning as well.
He never used to go along with Eamonn.
They weren't really friends.
They used to like...
Yeah, they sort of clashed a little bit.
And then, so yeah, Eamonn's come out and just says how he's always been an arrogant cunt basically.
Paraphrasing, he didn't call him a cunt even though he would have wanted to.
Always been nasty, a liar and this and that.
And so he's backed himself.
He's gone, look, I was there when he came out as gay, but everything else that he's done and what he's about to come out.
So even Eamonn knows what's gone on.
But for legal reasons he can't say.
He's just saying that the day is due.
He's going to get his comeuppance.
That whole world of the day there.
So any day now it's going to actually come out that he's been grooming himself as well then.
Because it was funny when his brother got convicted, he disowned his brother.
Come out with a stamp and say, no longer have a brother or a nap.
So now that he's going to come out, I wonder if his brother is going to sign a sign about him.
Or they'll probably get put in the same...
Salves or something.
Because it's a good word because it seems like they've been under fire for a while now then too.
Because they had that incident with the funeral.
Not necessarily where they skipped the queues.
Where the Queen was lying in wait.
Which, yeah, that was a strange one.
I wonder if anything is going to come out of that really.
Because going off of what I've seen about Philip's attitude and this and that.
Maybe that's something that he forced them.
As if to say, I'm not waiting in this queue.
Because I demand that they didn't do it.
Yeah, but there was no proof of seeing them waiting in that queue.
No, no, but they're all picked up just walking out and having a look.
Yeah, it's funny.
Holly's given a little statement saying she's devastated.
She didn't know.
Just protecting herself basically.
Trying to cover her own arse.
She didn't know anything that's going on.
She just wants to have this little break and get back to presenting.
So I don't know who's going to be her new partner in crime on the sofa.
Hopefully it's not Dharma because he's a bit of a dickhead as well.
Well, we didn't really meet him but we saw him that day.
Fucking prick.
Yeah, it's going to be a mad one.
I wonder if Keith Lemmon is going to do anything on it.
Because he's been on the show a good few times.
As a host?
Yeah, yeah.
Literally, I don't know if he still does to be fair, but they had him on for a little while.
Just as an entertainment sort of thing.
So I wonder if he's going to come back at all.
Because obviously he still does Slurpty Juice with Holly.
So maybe it'd be funny seeing him on it to be fair.
He's always funny.
There was an advert when I was at the cinemas the other day.
Keith Lemmon.
It's a staycation with Showcase Cinemas.
It's just a stupid advert but it's just funner.
Even at the end he says to the girl, he's sitting in a fake beach scene.
So he's in a deck chair, feet in a paddling pool.
He says to the girl, walk past, could I have another one of these?
A coke.
She's like, it's down there, go get it yourself.
I'll do everything around here, I'm supposed to be on a vacation.
He's a funny guy, I'd love to have a beer with him.
With his old bloody bow slit and all that as well.
You can call it who he was.
Yeah, the little bear always getting a boner.
So he's left the show.
He's left the show.
But he really got fired.
His agents have sacked him as well.
Again, party ways.
Which their little statement was saying.
He'd loathed to them about things that had gone on as well.
So again, that's them trying to cover their own arses.
Everyone's just cut ties with him completely.
So I don't think we'll see him on the TV's ever again.
Or at least for a long while now anyway.
Everyone's fucking interested in that.
Yeah, yeah.
They're fake friends because...
Just fake, any luck.
Well yeah, it's doing it to...
You've got to know it a little bit.
Yeah, as the youth say today, it's clout chasing essentially.
They're all doing it to...
Yeah, to build themselves up.
Just to self-benefit themselves really, any luck.
I mean, Holly's done really well at Fat This Morning, I'm sure.
But it's mad because she used to be on SMTV, the kids...
Yeah, yeah.
I can't remember where she used to be on besides that.
Yeah, she did a few things really, didn't she?
I just remember SMTV.
With Ant and Dec, wasn't it?
A little bit with Ant and Dec and then Stephen Moher and us both.
That's the one.
Yeah, she's done a roll.
Again, obviously all the girls were slaves to juice and that as well.
I think this morning, I always think this morning's the easiest job in TV.
Because there's no...
I know you have sometimes people going on debate.
But it's all scripted though.
It's just too...
And it's too segmented in terms of too many breaks, it's on all TV.
And it's...
A lot of the time they have guests and the guests doing the talking.
But it's on for two and a half hours, but...
Yeah, that's on and then it's loose women afterwards as well, isn't it?
I don't give a star, I don't know.
Again, it's only when I'm in customers' houses and they have it on.
I've always had it just glimpsing at some of the crap that gets spoken on, loose women and all that.
I did used to enjoy the generic aisle, watching bits of those while the customers were sitting there.
I used to think with a lot of them, they'd be sitting on the chairs with Jeremy as well.
Yeah, a lot of those people back in the day, they used to do the jobs for what it was.
They could have just easily been sitting there.
But then he's back on.
He does that programme that Piers Morgan's on and that as well.
It's basically like another news channel.
Oh, what's it called?
It's not GB News.
It's something like that though, isn't it?
News Talk. I know which one about, yeah.
Piers has got his second.
He's got an even show now, hasn't he?
Yeah.
Which again, I saw a little bit of Jeremy Coyle.
Not abusing, but essentially having a conversation with one of these stop oil lads.
I think his name was Matt and he was 22.
He was saying, look, just put yourself in this position.
Imagine you're a 57 year old man.
You've got kids to look after, your wife, Bill, everything.
And you're trying to get to work and then there's people like you,
stopping you, sitting in the road, how would you feel?
And he just had nothing to say about that.
He kept just ignoring the question and carrying on with whatever his views were on the stop oil section.
And you start, I understand what they're trying to do, but they're just doing it to the wrong people.
And also, why don't they do that to our parliament?
Because they're the only people that can change it.
And secondly, they've got an injunction.
So like, I can't remember the name of the companies.
So basically, because these oil companies have so much money, they've threw so much money at it.
They're banned from going to any of their forecourts or within so far of their companies.
So that's why they've took you to the streets.
But it's not, the worst thing I've seen about that is the police.
They won't do nothing about it.
Yeah, they won't do anything about it.
In Germany and everywhere else, they're just going to be fucking them off to the side of the road.
Yeah, yeah.
But here, no, no, no.
Can't touch her.
I know.
What about her?
I saw Katie Hopkins interview one of her and she was like, you ever paid a bill?
Paying a student loan.
It was like, no, no.
Have you ever worked to pay off a bill?
No, I worked student loan.
And it was just...
They had nothing to say.
Just nothing to say.
It's just so pathetic.
No one likes her.
No.
It's just, they just want to be famous.
That's all it is.
That's all they're looking.
Yeah.
Look, what are two people running?
At Twickenham, Frank, Polly.
What's that going to achieve?
I don't know.
It's not bringing...
It's not.
Even, why not?
It's all over that.
And it's nothing positive about them.
They're not coming across, the way they come across on TV, it's not positive.
No.
A lot of it's aggressive as well, to be fair.
And I've seen one where the police, someone ran over because they're doing one of those
slower marches.
I need to get to the hospital and my wife needs to get to the hospital.
And the policeman was like, do you think we should, you probably need to get through.
And he went, I don't think it's the case.
He needs to go to the hospital.
This is a protester saying to the policeman, I don't think he needs to...
He thinks he's bullshitting basically.
What the fuck?
I know.
I even saw one where it was a mother trying to get the kids to school.
And I think it was like an 11 year old son, autistic, and he starts having a full on panic
attack in the car.
What's all the bibbing?
Well, it's not just that, but because he's got his routine.
So essentially, the drive to school is a part of his routine and he's disrupted and he's
having a full on meltdown.
And the mother's like screaming at him.
You've got to get out of the way, you've got to move, look at him.
And they still wouldn't do anything.
And then I think it was botanical gardens, these three women.
And again, throwing the orange powder over the plants and everything.
I don't know what the power show got to do with blood.
I know.
But he's like, what good is a garden if you can't...
It's not going to be here in a few years or whatever.
It just won't make any sense.
It was all nonsense.
And the other lady gets a hose and starts hosing.
The water's dripping off the face and he's like spitting it out while they're still trying
to shout whatever crap.
Just ridiculous.
I do hate that.
I mean, as a country where we contribute to oil, it's nowhere near like the Middle East
and America.
But the one go there, or Russia.
It's just at the flower show, took it up.
It's totally ridiculous.
And I've seen...
You can't push them.
You can't even because it's clasters of salt.
Even if you just body check them, the place where you rest, you're there.
Because you've sorted them.
I know.
You body check them just walking down the road sometimes.
I don't want them to get caught up in anything like that.
Because I'll just have to fucking mount the car and drive around.
Yeah, one person did that in London.
Went around onto the pavement.
Policemen said, I can't do nothing about it.
They said a word of him.
He was like, no, fuck, I'm the wanker.
I drove off.
That's what you're going to do.
Something needs to get done.
I know when it was the lad that done it at the snooker.
Again, snooker.
I know.
It's not achieving anything.
I don't know if it's the owner of the venue or someone to do with the snooker association or something.
He was like, forget this then.
I'm not having it.
He's gone to a small clients company.
Let's just say there were 600 people at the Crucible.
He's emailed or wrote a letter or whatever to all of them saying, I'm taking his case to the small clients company.
Do you want to be involved in it?
There's 70 people that have gone, yeah, I want to be involved.
That lad is going to get phones out of his arse because of doing that.
The rest of it had to be called off.
That's tickets that would have to be called off.
Obviously all the people waste their time going up there.
You'll probably have to pay it off.
I think that's the right forward now.
I think that's definitely the right forward.
I think that's something that should be urged to push the destructive nicks.
It's not just to pay it back.
Look how much place.
There's 10 protesters and there's 20 police officers.
It's just so...
Absolutely waste of resources.
Because that Kylie Hopkins soldier we signed on, her friend died on the White Hospital because of the protest.
You would just be so mad.
So mad.
Just fucking idiots.
It's ridiculous.
Have you heard of Target in America?
I know Target.
No, I just wanted to see if you...
No, have you heard of what's going on there?
No.
We'll start before another show.
I just wanted to quick-fire while you were there.
You'd be so...
Yeah, you would be.
It's ridiculous.
There's all that going on.
But then you've got all this U.S. scheme and everything that's in London.
Which that isn't helping the situation.
So it's the same as with Birmingham, the clean air zones and that.
You go through one zone, you've got to pay so much.
And go into another one, you've got to pay even more.
But I did see...
I don't know how much of a trend it is at the moment.
But hopefully it starts getting some traction.
So this one chap who lives in London, he's got an old Fiesta, essentially.
So he has to pay whatever the £12 he's or something could die.
So what he'd done was registered the vehicle to the mayor of London.
So put his name, put the address and sent it back off to the DVLA.
So any time he goes through those cameras, the fine gets sent to the mayor of London's address.
And obviously if he gets pulled over, he'll be like,
Yeah, my mate the mayor, it's his car, he just lets me drive it.
So as long as he still taxes it and ensures it, it can be registered legally to the mayor of London.
So he wasn't telling people to do it.
But essentially he was here to say, look, if you do that, then it's fine.
So I hope that everyone that has to pay these things starts doing that.
Because that would be hilarious.
It's alright, you don't mind someone just taking it.
Just to take away from you because it's not in your name anymore.
And you could have had it.
Yeah, I thought I did fine that quote, only to be honest.
Right, so I've got something else for you.
We've got an email.
A ruler?
We've got an email.
Wait, did it cheer?
Woo.
So yeah.
But it haven't been serious.
Yeah, yeah.
I won't say his name that's come on at the top of the email because he signed it off sort of different.
But yeah, so from Dan G.
Alright lads, I'm new to podcasts and just got onto yours.
Just wanted to ask some people, not just more reading, but people not using full English.
Which I'm not slagging you off Dan.
So he's asking what's our origin story.
So how did you call his mate?
And then keep it up, Dan G.
That's a good question.
Dan G, little legend.
Dan, thank you.
Yeah.
No thank you for that.
Obviously, this being the 10 episode, this is the first email.
It's quite nice to know that they write for this thing.
Yeah, nice little message there.
Yeah, so origin story then.
I mean it's nothing special or magical.
It was just literally, well essentially it was day one, year seven.
So year seven is the first year of high school.
Which I don't know why we all call it high school now as well.
Obviously I only ever know in senior school.
Yes, secondary school.
That's because I'm old.
Yeah, I mean, but I hear a lot of people older than us calling it high school now as well.
Yeah, so first year of secondary school, first day.
It was literally, you know, we was tiny.
And it was the first, I think it was form group, wasn't it?
Yeah.
First week in the morning.
Yeah, because what happened was the first.
So in year seven in high school, you had a complete building just for year sevens.
Yeah.
And it was over the opposite side of the roads, the main building.
And then what they did is on the first day, they got everyone in the playground and then they called names.
And you had to line up and that was your form.
And then you'd followed the teacher into your form room.
Yeah.
And that's where the day began.
We was the first year of high school joining together as well.
Yeah, so it was the two schools, wasn't it?
Yeah, so high school was two, that joining two schools.
Two schools were next to each other, which was always weird in the first place.
I remember with my sister, when she went, obviously before we was in school,
the stories about both sides just at the gates ready to fight each other every day.
It's like, you're just at school, why is there a row over it?
You know, football games or something.
It was literally two schools literally right next door.
There was no building in between.
It was literally just a fence.
One school, one school.
Then over the side of the road, opposite side of the road, sorry,
there was a smaller building that was connected to one of them.
I can't remember which one originally now.
I think it was BK.
So it was Sir Warford Marno and Bink Hendrick schools,
which as we joined, it changed to Cal, which was Centre for Accelerated Learning.
And then within a year or two, it changed again then, didn't it?
To International School and Community College of East Burga.
So it was abbreviated to ISCCEB.
And then I think now it's called the International or something.
I don't know if it's changed again since we've left.
Yeah, so we'd been picked into the forms and followed the teacher into the school,
into the classroom.
And I think it was only like five or ten minutes in really.
I remember just sitting there and the teacher's just waffling on whatever she was saying.
Who was the teacher?
I can't even remember.
To be fair, I struggle a lot with not just teachers,
but people that we went to school with and our Australian names.
But I can picture where we sat.
I remember where I was sitting.
Because you was like sitting right with me at first, weren't you?
No, I was to the left because I was out the window.
I was always looking out the window.
On day one though?
Yeah, yeah.
All right, I just remember getting told off straight away.
So not that I was a normal child or anything.
It was just literally teachers talking and I just poured my bottle of Vans for eight.
And a sip of you.
You might be right.
We did sit at different places.
You had to sit in the middle when you did that.
Yeah, I remember you was to the right.
I remember looking at you and laughing at me.
But yeah, I had a sip of the pop and the teacher just switched on me straight away.
I was like, what are you doing?
Drinking.
So you can't do that in here.
I can't remember what they said, but not who he was.
I can't fucking remember.
I don't know.
I remember that though.
I just remember you getting the...
Yeah, just grilled up.
No, bottle of Vans.
It was like abstinence in my pop.
Yeah.
You can't do that in here.
No, what?
Yeah, just confused.
Obviously because in primary school, it didn't matter.
You'd have your little juice pop and whatever.
Just have a sweet.
But no, she just kicked off at me.
I was like, I'm up on a bad start there.
And then I can't remember if it was from that day then.
They're just like...
Because essentially we've each formed a group because you're already together.
Unless you went to school with someone, primary school with someone, you didn't really have any friends.
And apart from a couple of girls from primary school, which I wasn't in the same form as, I didn't know any lads.
So it pretty much was you just sort of hang around with the form group and then start making friends that way, wasn't it?
So it was Ryan in that form.
Yeah, there was a few people from...
Yeah, you already had friends from primary school anyway.
In that class.
Yeah.
And then we just started, yeah, it was literally just started talking there.
We used to sit on the bench and we'd have a lot of sandwiches and a lot of packed lunch or whatever.
Just chatting crap and he knows that, he's talking about Pokemon and stuff.
Remember the stick force?
Yeah, looking back it was fucking stick force.
Yeah, as kids do, just pretending at the swords and that.
It was probably like...
Yeah, we were going for it all.
I mean, to be fair, I didn't hurt each other really, but I just remember the one in particular, just bam, bam, bam.
And then you sort of slapped me over yours, ran away.
Just launched it.
I remember seeing it spinning in the air, it just hit you on the back.
And you're like, ah!
The good old days.
Yeah, it's mad. School was just mad in general really, weren't it?
Again, I don't, because I don't remember all the teachers and that, but just being in school, it's just a weird concept.
Because they don't teach you anything that you really need.
No, I don't.
I don't sit there doing...
I think you learn yourself.
Yeah, it's calling yourself and stuff, isn't it?
Yeah, I think you just learn yourself more than...
I don't think a teacher's ever teached me.
It's...
Maybe besides OECD.
But again, I mean, technology's moved on that quick.
So it was a B-level GMVQ, which was the equivalent to full GCSEs.
So I got B in OECD, but I mean, again, I don't do spreadsheets or anything,
which I never needed to with not going into like an office job or anything,
but going back onto the computers and learning all of these.
It's just gone so quick.
Yeah, it's probably something that they teach these days, but I remember PowerPoint presentations and that as well.
So I've never had to do a PowerPoint call at all.
The mini-glitch.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I suppose this is kind of similar with the editing.
It's similar process as doing a PowerPoint.
Because again, I remember the teacher saying to me,
not that I did amazing in school, but there was a couple saying,
oh, yeah, you can do such and such.
Essentially, he kept saying an office job.
I remember just sitting with one of them.
Again, I can't remember her name.
Oh, God.
Yeah, I can't remember her name.
But she was like, oh, yeah, you could do such and such, whatever office job,
and this and that.
I was like, oh, I don't want to.
She was like, why not?
And to me, I always knew I'd either go in the Army or get onto the tools.
And within two weeks of leaving school, I was doing the electric step.
And I just remember looking at me and just saying, why would you want to do that?
Why would you want to do that?
Because I don't want to see in front of the computer all that.
I already knew at that point, about 15 or whatever, that I didn't want to do that.
Obviously, I'd be a weekend job at that point as well.
I'll quiz no subs.
I mean, that was good enough in a sense because it was always meeting people.
I did enjoy working with the staff there.
But yeah, I just I know I wouldn't have been able to see in front of the computer just doing it all day long.
Yeah, it would have cracked me off.
Same again, in a factory, working on a line and whatever, I'd do it if I had to, but I really wouldn't want to.
You like being like a new project, new place.
Yeah, yeah.
Meeting people.
Being your own boss in here as well.
Yeah, it's that.
Dictating your own working hours as well.
Yeah, yeah.
Literally just meeting different people, not being in the same place all the time.
Yeah, because I remember when I did the building, so it's in a Birmingham town centre and it was pretty much we did a couple of jobs in between.
But it was almost a full 12 months just on the same building.
Every floor was the same, the only different floors, the basements and then the top, which was the plant room and whatever.
But just going in, knowing that I've got to run these cables the same way as well.
I did the floor below week in, week out.
And it was 16, 17 at the time, so I'd get on the bus, a couple of stops down, Dean would get on the bus and then the next stop would be Scott.
And then, because it was first thing in the morning, I'd got that used to it.
I knew that I could get my head down because I'd always sit where you had the four seats, the two of each facing each other.
I could still have a bit of a nap on the bus and then I'd know where we are to get back up and get off the bus in town.
You see the same people getting on and off the bus every day.
It was a big problem, it really did.
It was horrible thinking back at it, it just winds me up.
So, yeah, always, I didn't want to do that.
But yeah, it was just school, I think.
It was just school and then you'd like, just how friendship just progresses and you like the same things, you talk about the same things.
I always talk about music and like, Pokemon obviously.
Yeah, I remember us going off town, getting on the bus early and waiting outside Game Station or whatever just to get Pokemon games and that.
It was just a simple interest for us.
Yeah, we always have a laugh, just stupid stuff as well.
Just running a torch out the window at cars and stuff.
Yeah, but that was like when we was 19.
Even liquid used towel, 19, doing the best thing ever.
Yeah, so yeah, that was the origin story really.
No stupid messing around or whatever, it was just literally just in school, just bug standard.
But thanks for your question though, I really appreciate it.
You're getting off on a raise.
Yeah man.
I'm happy we got a message after this.
Yeah, Dan, you got any more messages? Anyone else either?
Any questions or whatever, anything else you want to ask us?
Yeah, just bang them in, just let us know.
Hopefully we get a few more in now.
He's broken the seal.
Yeah, he's broken the seal.
Go gently.
I know, yeah.
It was a nice little question to start off with.
Next week it'll be something horrible.
Yeah, fucking stop this podcast you dickheads.
I do want to hate one though.
Not a real hate one, not like a fake, don't do it just to be fake.
In general if you've got some criticism you think there's something we should do.
Don't just come on and say your hair is shit, you've got a horrible beard or whatever.
I will just slag you off there.
But yeah, I think that should be it really then.
We've not really touched on anything else we was going to do.
No, but we can say that.
Yeah, we'll do that next week.
So on that note then, if you have got any questions or whatever you want to send in,
on Twitter it's Ash and Jay D.
Or send us an email, realtalkingpod at gmail.com.
Twitter I've been messaging back on the original Twitter handle.
So obviously I've sent like 50 requests to get it reinstated.
And they keep messaging me saying for me to send a reason why it should be unsuspended.
I just can't, but I haven't got a cost to any of them, there's no point.
Because that was literally weeks and weeks ago that I've been sending these.
Yeah, he's taken his time anyway.
And on each of them, once I reply they'll get back to me in three to four business days.
I might do with one of them, just message back, see how long it actually takes.
But I ain't bothered, we don't need it.
We've got a better Twitter now anyway.
I will say this, this is episode 10.
It's still early days, but we do plan to progress.
Obviously we've spoken about going on a ghost hunt.
And having guests on that still the goal obviously, it's just getting there.
And just seeing what the fan base is and just growing from there.
But we really do appreciate your email.
Yeah, obviously if there's any ideas, any topics you want us to touch on, then yeah, ping it over.
Slide in those DMs.
Slide in.
Just slide in there.
Just, just, just, just, we're ready.
Yeah, yeah.
We're ready, we're lying down.
That's veins on the sword.
So yeah, that's a pot.
Yeah.
