WEBVTT

00:00:00.529 --> 00:00:02.910
So it was in my shoulder and my elbow. There's

00:00:02.910 --> 00:00:06.290
something trapped. It's unpinging. That's not

00:00:06.290 --> 00:00:11.050
pleasant. What the fuck was that? Wind. I don't

00:00:11.050 --> 00:00:12.669
even know. It's going to get picked up on the

00:00:12.669 --> 00:00:16.429
mics. It wasn't me. That one wasn't me. I heard

00:00:16.429 --> 00:00:20.670
it in my earphones. I eared it in my earphones.

00:00:22.449 --> 00:00:24.710
So I think maybe the mic might have picked that

00:00:24.710 --> 00:00:29.789
up. Eared it in my earphones. It's a quiet spell

00:00:29.789 --> 00:00:32.149
between next door and not vacuuming their car.

00:00:32.310 --> 00:00:34.590
Yes. And the winds die down at the start. Yeah,

00:00:34.609 --> 00:00:41.570
do it. This is Lightly Used with Adam and Karen.

00:00:47.390 --> 00:00:50.729
Hello, I'm Adam. I'm Karen. This is episode 26

00:00:50.729 --> 00:00:54.789
of Lightly Used. Thank you very, very much for

00:00:54.789 --> 00:00:56.799
listening. Yes, indeed. And we've got to say

00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:58.640
hello to somebody as well. Yeah, actually, I

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:00.340
was literally just about to say, can I borrow

00:01:00.340 --> 00:01:01.880
your pen to write this down before I forget?

00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:06.719
But James Pickworth. Thank you. We officially

00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.760
love you. I know Tom and Rob have spewed beautiful

00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.519
words about you because you are the most incredible

00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:17.879
social media supporter. But you've adopted us

00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:21.200
into your listening sphere and we are hugely

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.120
grateful. Thank you for listening to us. Thank

00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.439
you for being amused by us, which is even better,

00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:31.340
and for sharing everything everywhere. You are

00:01:31.340 --> 00:01:33.760
a wonderful human being and your dog is so cute

00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.260
and she looks so lovely in her little muddy trough.

00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:40.540
So, yeah, we're at that stage of we've got so

00:01:40.540 --> 00:01:42.299
few listeners, we can thank them individually.

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:45.640
Yeah, if you're listening to this in a year's

00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:47.560
time and we're massive, that'll teach you not

00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.540
to be an early adopter. Thank you, James. It

00:01:50.540 --> 00:01:53.099
really does mean a lot to us. Named and shamed

00:01:53.099 --> 00:01:55.260
in the most loving manner possible. Were you

00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:57.140
going to use my pen for anything or just take

00:01:57.140 --> 00:02:00.299
it off as I was gesticulating? You were gesticulating

00:02:00.299 --> 00:02:04.659
and saying, oh, listener, I was about to say,

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.480
can I have your pen to write down James's name

00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.539
so I don't forget to talk about him, but you

00:02:09.539 --> 00:02:11.819
remembered. Just as you were about to write it

00:02:11.819 --> 00:02:13.099
down. Yeah, just as I was about to write it down.

00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.240
Excellent timing. Oh, you know the tiny chip

00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:17.960
that you noticed in the Tetmobile windscreen

00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.199
when we were on the way to Abergavenny? The one

00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:21.919
that you were really disappointed that I found.

00:02:22.219 --> 00:02:26.020
Yeah, it's new. Can't have nice things. So I

00:02:26.020 --> 00:02:28.039
booked a private between 8 and 1 to have that

00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.460
fixed. I got a confirmation text that said that

00:02:31.460 --> 00:02:34.000
I'd be sent a link on the day to track the text's

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.479
arrival. So I text that morning at 8 o 'clock.

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.759
Text's going to arrive between 9 and 4 .30. I

00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.319
booked it between 8 and 1. So I thought, I'll

00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:45.840
use the link to see if I can narrow down the

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.120
time, see if I can see whereabouts he is. I've

00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:49.659
got a rough idea of how far away he is. Like

00:02:49.659 --> 00:02:51.020
you can track an Amazon driver when it's like

00:02:51.020 --> 00:02:53.139
8 stops away or whatever. Don't get asked for

00:02:53.139 --> 00:02:57.000
my number plate and postcode. Pop that in. Next

00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.180
page. Just a spinning circle. Not showing. The

00:03:00.180 --> 00:03:02.139
rest of the page is loaded. Just the actual information

00:03:02.139 --> 00:03:04.659
I needed. Yeah, show me. I can scroll up and

00:03:04.659 --> 00:03:06.900
down. I can see the title of the window company.

00:03:07.099 --> 00:03:08.520
Scroll down and see the contact information,

00:03:08.819 --> 00:03:11.419
site map, and all these other links. But the

00:03:11.419 --> 00:03:13.800
thing I need to find about this appointment,

00:03:14.060 --> 00:03:17.199
nothing's happening on the screen there at all.

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.819
Helpful, helpful. I emailed a link to myself.

00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:25.479
I'll try it on the PC. No. It only lets me amend

00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:29.300
or cancel the appointment. Oh, lovely. Just show

00:03:29.300 --> 00:03:31.860
me where the dude is. God, so you've gone from

00:03:31.860 --> 00:03:34.199
having to take half a day off work to potentially

00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.219
having to take an entire day off of work. Yeah,

00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:41.759
yeah. He showed up about 11, half 11 -ish. Nice

00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:43.819
bloke, but yeah, it was just... The booking system

00:03:43.819 --> 00:03:46.879
their company uses, absolute tosh. Do you want

00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.259
to name and shame said company? I can't remember.

00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.949
Oh. There's only like three... car windscreen

00:03:51.949 --> 00:03:53.729
companies in the country anyway. Fair enough.

00:03:53.830 --> 00:03:58.270
One of those bastards. Yeah. I don't think they

00:03:58.270 --> 00:03:59.650
have a catchy jingle if they don't narrow it

00:03:59.650 --> 00:04:04.150
down. No. It's not that one. You buy one, you

00:04:04.150 --> 00:04:06.969
get one free. No, that was... Double glazing.

00:04:07.069 --> 00:04:09.889
Yeah. No, Ron Seal is what you put on your fences.

00:04:09.889 --> 00:04:12.289
I never understood. How are you selling windows

00:04:12.289 --> 00:04:14.909
off the back of these adverts? Yeah, they were...

00:04:15.259 --> 00:04:17.579
Very irritating. Well, in the other company,

00:04:17.660 --> 00:04:19.579
but then. Yeah, we can't even remember the company,

00:04:19.660 --> 00:04:22.759
just the horrible adverts. Yeah. It'll come to

00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:24.959
me in a flash later on and I'll be like, and

00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:28.180
I'll totally put you off your swing of whatever

00:04:28.180 --> 00:04:29.920
it is you're doing at that moment in time. They

00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.180
changed that Tavern Cry guy for someone from

00:04:32.180 --> 00:04:34.839
Corrie, didn't they? Did they? The glassiest

00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.639
guy that had the corner shop. I'd never watched

00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.579
Coronation Street. I watched a couple of episodes

00:04:40.579 --> 00:04:44.959
run by Nens a couple of times. Reg? I don't know.

00:04:45.259 --> 00:04:49.139
Oh, well. It's not important. Bit of a tonal

00:04:49.139 --> 00:04:51.939
shift from a spokesperson. Yeah, so the crack

00:04:51.939 --> 00:04:55.819
is fixed? It's still a little bit visible. It's

00:04:55.819 --> 00:04:58.379
visible. It's there, but it's not cracked, at

00:04:58.379 --> 00:05:00.199
least. Yeah, we went out in the van yesterday,

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.480
and I was like, oh, I thought you'd got that

00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.860
chip fixed. And you were like, yeah, I did. Yeah.

00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:07.620
It does say in the small print it might still

00:05:07.620 --> 00:05:09.319
be visible. And I was like, oh, I thought they

00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.160
just pumped resin in it and then it vanishes.

00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.600
But apparently not. Girl brain. Yeah, they had

00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.240
to sign the waiver. Yeah, should have just left

00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.639
it. Yeah, never mind. I'm going to start shredding

00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:22.980
my windscreen wipers, then we'll do something

00:05:22.980 --> 00:05:27.040
about it. Yeah, yeah. So we've just watched Rug.

00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:31.779
We did. Which... I randomly mentioned at the

00:05:31.779 --> 00:05:36.000
start of the last episode, Dad texted me the

00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:37.980
YouTube link this morning whilst he was listening

00:05:37.980 --> 00:05:41.000
to the episode. But you actually found a link

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:44.160
before... Dad did, purely because you knew what

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.600
we'd been talking about and he didn't. And you

00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.720
put the link to the movie on YouTube in the blog

00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.639
for episode 25. I do have to give some thanks.

00:05:52.699 --> 00:05:55.519
I'm not on Reddit. I don't think we are as a

00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:57.639
show. We're not. I think Channel 84 is. Channel

00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.079
84 are. Variety show, yeah. But thank you, Redditors.

00:06:01.180 --> 00:06:03.300
I think that's how you're known for your post

00:06:03.300 --> 00:06:05.279
nine years ago. Yeah, when I was writing the

00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:07.180
blog for the last episode, I was able to find

00:06:07.180 --> 00:06:10.259
the film Raag. I think you misremembered it as

00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:14.720
R -A -A -G. Yeah, R -A -R -G. I searched for

00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:19.180
animated film people discover they exist in a

00:06:19.180 --> 00:06:23.480
dream. First actual result, Reddit. Excellent.

00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.180
Cheers. Thank you. Excellent. I've never really

00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:30.420
gotten into the depths of Reddit. I guess it

00:06:30.420 --> 00:06:32.180
depends where you go on there. Some of it is

00:06:32.180 --> 00:06:35.420
hangovers from the old internet. Like, oh, there

00:06:35.420 --> 00:06:37.360
we go. Well, I'm just going to describe a film

00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.139
and out of the goodness of my own heart, I'll

00:06:39.139 --> 00:06:41.199
just reply and tell you, yeah, it's a film. Here's

00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.720
a link to an IMDB and here's the YouTube link.

00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:47.899
Right. And I think there's a forum. What is this

00:06:47.899 --> 00:06:49.540
thing? You can just take a picture of something

00:06:49.540 --> 00:06:51.500
you don't know what it is and people will...

00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:53.920
Have a go at answering it. A lot of the time

00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:55.199
they'll get it right because there's lots of

00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:57.000
knowledgeable people out there. There are. That's

00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.019
pretty cool. So yeah, those old internet things.

00:06:59.259 --> 00:07:01.839
Yeah. I guess if you go with the politics side

00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.019
of things. Yeah, I think I would have to try

00:07:04.019 --> 00:07:07.019
and avoid the conspiracy political rabbit holes.

00:07:07.620 --> 00:07:11.819
But I'm also really quite interested in things

00:07:11.819 --> 00:07:13.939
like that. Not because I believe them, but because

00:07:13.939 --> 00:07:16.959
I'm just so shocked at some of the things people

00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.879
actually convince themselves are real. But, you

00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.060
know, there's... If there's no solid evidence

00:07:22.060 --> 00:07:25.079
to the contrary, it's just my version of the

00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.519
world against theirs. We saw that video last

00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.680
night on YouTube, didn't we? Yeah. I'm sidetracking

00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.579
you from Raag. I was just thanking Reddit for

00:07:32.579 --> 00:07:35.160
being a hangover for me. The old internet, the

00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.339
good days. So I really enjoyed re -watching it.

00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.060
I've not seen it for a really long time. Dad

00:07:40.060 --> 00:07:43.279
does actually still have a copy on DVD. We're

00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.379
dead, we're all chestless. Yeah, and I was like,

00:07:45.420 --> 00:07:47.709
oh... Because we used to do family film nights,

00:07:47.769 --> 00:07:49.389
I think probably like once a month or something,

00:07:49.470 --> 00:07:50.910
where we'd all sit down together and watch a

00:07:50.910 --> 00:07:55.050
DVD. And it's one of my fondest sort of like

00:07:55.050 --> 00:07:58.009
family movie night memories is all sitting down

00:07:58.009 --> 00:08:00.410
to watch this very short animated film. I think

00:08:00.410 --> 00:08:02.350
it's like 23 minutes, something like that. It's

00:08:02.350 --> 00:08:05.560
really well made as well. It's brilliant. The

00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.680
animation style is simplistic but beautiful,

00:08:08.899 --> 00:08:11.939
kind of almost a little bit reminiscent of play

00:08:11.939 --> 00:08:14.899
school with the way the buildings are coloured

00:08:14.899 --> 00:08:18.579
in, sort of like a watery colour. wash and I

00:08:18.579 --> 00:08:21.019
don't know yeah there's something in my brain

00:08:21.019 --> 00:08:22.819
that's going oh that's a bit play schooly but

00:08:22.819 --> 00:08:24.680
I can't think of it off the top of my head some

00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:27.560
of the character styles remind me of Popeye like

00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:29.959
Wimpy and the goons and stuff like that with

00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:33.860
the round faces and also round nose yeah just

00:08:33.860 --> 00:08:37.759
it's a lovely film and I just the opening credits

00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.220
and I was just like oh I was transported back

00:08:40.220 --> 00:08:42.700
to being like how old I was when dad picked it

00:08:42.700 --> 00:08:45.559
up and it was really nice and I remembered all

00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:51.389
the music And then cynical 44 -year -old Karen

00:08:51.389 --> 00:08:55.450
Brain kicked in at some point. I think it was

00:08:55.450 --> 00:08:58.610
very near the beginning with the bluebirds and

00:08:58.610 --> 00:09:01.629
the pinkbirds. And I was like, blue for boys,

00:09:01.710 --> 00:09:03.529
pink for girls. And then I thought, oh, hang

00:09:03.529 --> 00:09:07.190
on a second. That's, you know, one of those things

00:09:07.190 --> 00:09:09.950
that is a delicate subject these days. And then

00:09:09.950 --> 00:09:12.230
there were a few other things. And then the whole

00:09:12.230 --> 00:09:15.929
kidnapping the guy. that they're inside the head

00:09:15.929 --> 00:09:19.409
of in his dream. Yeah, spoilers. It's a film

00:09:19.409 --> 00:09:21.750
from the 80s. It's been out since 1989. If you've

00:09:21.750 --> 00:09:24.330
not seen it, you know, I'm not doing it justice.

00:09:24.649 --> 00:09:28.269
But it's a brilliant film. But there are some

00:09:28.269 --> 00:09:33.330
very dark undertones to it in terms of... Well,

00:09:33.409 --> 00:09:36.789
it's an interpretation. Yeah, you know, it's

00:09:36.789 --> 00:09:41.980
about existence and autonomy, I guess. Where

00:09:41.980 --> 00:09:44.200
we find ourselves and what we're prepared to

00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:46.860
do to survive. It might not have happened. He

00:09:46.860 --> 00:09:49.600
might have just dreamt it. Exactly. The entire

00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:52.960
thing was a dream. And maybe Edwin is in someone

00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:55.899
else's dream. But the dark ending, he's now in

00:09:55.899 --> 00:09:58.480
a coma. Yes, forever asleep. And there are only

00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.360
people that can wake him up that he dreamt into

00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:05.159
existence. And now flamingos. Spoiler. We did

00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:08.620
porn early. But, you know, it's such a lovely

00:10:08.620 --> 00:10:11.820
little film. It was really fun. Yeah. I forgot

00:10:11.820 --> 00:10:13.399
to pay attention at the very, very end because

00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:15.220
we thought, well, let's get down and record.

00:10:15.820 --> 00:10:18.460
I forgot, did Richard Wilson do the voice of

00:10:18.460 --> 00:10:21.799
the mayor? The professor. Oh, the professor,

00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:23.620
sorry. There's only like two speaking parts in

00:10:23.620 --> 00:10:26.360
it. But I forgot to look at the end. I don't

00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.440
think it was. There wasn't any, I mean, the video

00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.139
cut off before any end credits. Oh, that might

00:10:31.139 --> 00:10:35.019
have just been me. No, it wasn't because it came

00:10:35.019 --> 00:10:38.970
up on the channel tile, didn't it? But yeah,

00:10:39.129 --> 00:10:41.690
it was lovely to watch it again. Thank you for

00:10:41.690 --> 00:10:43.870
entertaining that with me. If you'd like to enjoy

00:10:43.870 --> 00:10:46.929
yourself, have a look at episode 25's blog post

00:10:46.929 --> 00:10:52.490
at lightlyused .co .uk. On the show today, a

00:10:52.490 --> 00:10:56.309
bit of a truncated episode because I've not really

00:10:56.309 --> 00:10:59.629
slept well all week. Karen's not really slept

00:10:59.629 --> 00:11:02.950
well. I was going to go one up for you in the

00:11:02.950 --> 00:11:05.190
last month. Karen's not slept well since she

00:11:05.190 --> 00:11:08.169
turned 40. Adam's not slept well for... Probably

00:11:08.169 --> 00:11:10.389
the last three years. So, yeah, we might just

00:11:10.389 --> 00:11:11.649
skip over the game because we've got nothing

00:11:11.649 --> 00:11:13.950
prepared for that. And I've got a book, but I've

00:11:13.950 --> 00:11:16.250
not had time to properly read through it. And

00:11:16.250 --> 00:11:17.889
I think there's a few more things I should be

00:11:17.889 --> 00:11:21.289
pointing out in it. Full -length episode will

00:11:21.289 --> 00:11:24.389
return with 27. Yeah, I'm sure we'll find plenty

00:11:24.389 --> 00:11:27.230
of things to talk about. In between, we'll fluff

00:11:27.230 --> 00:11:29.690
it out with a bit of chitter -chatter. This is

00:11:29.690 --> 00:11:32.000
not a guarantee. Well, I mean, I've got a couple

00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.159
of other things that I can talk about if you...

00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.320
Oh, no, the episode 27 will be a full -length

00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:37.720
episode. I don't know what's happening between

00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.039
now and the next two weeks. Hopefully Karen starts

00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:44.059
to feel a bit better. Likewise. And Adam gets

00:11:44.059 --> 00:11:47.419
more sleep. My shoulder. Yeah. It doesn't keep

00:11:47.419 --> 00:11:50.500
me awake. I do have to say, just on a slight

00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:52.919
tangent, thank you to Jackson and to my mum.

00:11:53.379 --> 00:11:57.460
As all of you long, short -suffering listeners...

00:11:57.659 --> 00:11:59.740
are aware if you listened to the last episode

00:11:59.740 --> 00:12:01.440
I've been having a bit of a rough time recently

00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:06.440
and I was struggling to get housework done and

00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:08.679
things like that so Jackson came over one evening

00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:12.039
and he did my dishes he did my bins he cleaned

00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:14.559
the whole kitchen he hoovered the flat you know

00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:17.220
he brought me food shopping gave me a massive

00:12:17.220 --> 00:12:22.179
coach it was so lovely and it really helped with

00:12:22.179 --> 00:12:26.539
my mental state to not be surrounded by the chores

00:12:26.539 --> 00:12:30.190
that hadn't got done and I'd started to mentally

00:12:30.190 --> 00:12:32.690
tell myself off for which is a really bad practice

00:12:32.690 --> 00:12:35.889
and I shouldn't do it but thank you Jackson for

00:12:35.889 --> 00:12:38.629
just being a wonderful human being and for looking

00:12:38.629 --> 00:12:43.389
after me and thank you to my equally long -suffering

00:12:43.389 --> 00:12:48.309
mum for giving up her peaceful retirement and

00:12:48.990 --> 00:12:51.529
coming to look after me in my flat for four days.

00:12:52.149 --> 00:12:56.370
I don't share my space very often and I don't

00:12:56.370 --> 00:12:59.649
necessarily share it very well. And I'm not always

00:12:59.649 --> 00:13:01.970
the most entertaining host and I'm certainly

00:13:01.970 --> 00:13:05.909
not at the moment. But, you know, mum came down

00:13:05.909 --> 00:13:08.970
and she did my laundry and we cooked dinner together

00:13:08.970 --> 00:13:12.750
and, you know, we had a very small walk on the

00:13:12.750 --> 00:13:15.590
beach, which was wonderful for both of us because

00:13:15.590 --> 00:13:18.679
I'd not been on the... well I'd not really been

00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:21.419
outside properly for a while certainly not on

00:13:21.419 --> 00:13:23.539
the beach and mum loves the beach it's like it's

00:13:23.539 --> 00:13:26.320
her grounding space so we just walked along the

00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.139
sand for a couple hundred meters and then went

00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:30.820
back to the car but it was really nice but um

00:13:30.820 --> 00:13:34.340
I love you both so much um and I'm trying really

00:13:34.340 --> 00:13:36.700
hard not to be emotional about this because I

00:13:36.700 --> 00:13:40.200
could easily cry Adam's reaching out. Oh, Adam's

00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:41.460
reaching out with his hand across the table.

00:13:41.500 --> 00:13:45.759
He's so sweet. But I do, I love you both. You're

00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:49.720
wonderful. And Adam also has been pulling more

00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:52.720
than his weight and his fair share over the last

00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:55.600
few weeks. I've had more baths than hot dinners.

00:13:56.429 --> 00:13:58.289
which is wonderful because it makes my bones

00:13:58.289 --> 00:14:01.149
and my muscles so much happier. He's given me

00:14:01.149 --> 00:14:03.549
money for a second massage, which I haven't booked

00:14:03.549 --> 00:14:06.389
yet, but I will do because the first one did

00:14:06.389 --> 00:14:09.470
give me a couple of days of relief. So, yeah,

00:14:09.590 --> 00:14:12.269
thank you to the wonderful people in my life.

00:14:12.389 --> 00:14:15.330
You know, without being gushy, thank you. I appreciate

00:14:15.330 --> 00:14:17.789
you and I appreciate Jackson and I appreciate

00:14:17.789 --> 00:14:20.629
Mum and Lexi for all the phone calls as well.

00:14:20.970 --> 00:14:23.269
And thank you both for looking after Karen as

00:14:23.269 --> 00:14:34.350
well. For the next instalment of Lightly Used

00:14:34.350 --> 00:14:37.029
News, Johnny Turnip and his knights continue

00:14:37.029 --> 00:14:40.450
their quest to seek King Arthur and Excalibur.

00:14:42.190 --> 00:14:44.769
Abergavenny Man claims he has found the legendary

00:14:44.769 --> 00:14:48.480
sword Excalibur. by Tim Butters from the Abergavenny

00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.639
Chronicle on Monday 5th August 2024. He found

00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:55.360
it by Tim Butters? Tim Butters had it all along.

00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.879
Much like the Holy Grail, the legendary sword

00:14:59.879 --> 00:15:02.080
Excalibur has been sought after for centuries

00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:05.919
by philosophers, poets, politicians, historians,

00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:10.620
the hapless and the lost. However, an Abergavenny

00:15:10.620 --> 00:15:13.779
man claims he now wields what legions of adventurers

00:15:13.779 --> 00:15:16.840
and explorers have all sought in vain. The Sword

00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.500
of Power. It's a bit of a trip to think my hands

00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:22.259
have fondled the same piece of steel as King

00:15:22.259 --> 00:15:25.600
Arthur, but you can't cheat destiny, explained

00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.559
semi -professional paranormal investigator Johnny

00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.840
Turnip. In hindsight, I can now see that when

00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:33.740
I lost myself to a twilight world of substance

00:15:33.740 --> 00:15:36.000
abuse and bizarre sleeping patterns in my twenties,

00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:39.480
I was simply in denial of my own greatness. I

00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:41.659
always knew my bones that fated to earmark me

00:15:41.659 --> 00:15:43.399
for something historical and earth -shattering,

00:15:43.500 --> 00:15:46.039
but I had no idea to stand by King Arthur's side

00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.919
and rule the world. For years, I tried to run

00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:50.659
from who I was and what I was supposed to be.

00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:53.399
I got good at it as well. Before becoming a paranormal

00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:55.580
investigator, I was a semi -professional long

00:15:55.580 --> 00:15:58.460
-distance runner. But the running stops here.

00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.379
I've finally embraced who and what I am. Since

00:16:02.379 --> 00:16:04.820
Arthur's demise, the extraterrestrials have secretly

00:16:04.820 --> 00:16:07.419
governed this planet with a dark intent. Once

00:16:07.419 --> 00:16:09.600
I wake the Great Bear by driving Excalibur into

00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:11.620
the Great Rock where he sleeps, it'll be time

00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:16.240
for E .T. to go home and stay there. Turnip told

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.419
the Chronicle that after having a vision that

00:16:18.419 --> 00:16:20.379
revealed Excalibur was rusting away at the bottom

00:16:20.379 --> 00:16:22.960
of a reservoir on Tredegar, he and the boys jumped

00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:25.580
in Big Tony's battle bus and headed up top to

00:16:25.580 --> 00:16:27.519
find the once -and -future king's fabled weapon.

00:16:28.740 --> 00:16:30.899
Only trouble was, when we got there, we had no

00:16:30.899 --> 00:16:32.779
idea how to retrieve Excalibur from the depths,

00:16:32.899 --> 00:16:35.759
explained Turnip. None of us had any diving gear.

00:16:36.190 --> 00:16:38.230
And even if we did, no one was willing to take

00:16:38.230 --> 00:16:39.909
the plunge. We'd all grown up with a bit of a

00:16:39.909 --> 00:16:41.830
phobia of the water thanks to films like Jaws.

00:16:42.789 --> 00:16:45.809
Turn about it. In my heart, I had high hopes

00:16:45.809 --> 00:16:47.570
that Lady's Hand would reach out of the reservoir

00:16:47.570 --> 00:16:49.629
holding the sword aloft like it did in that dodgy

00:16:49.629 --> 00:16:52.230
80s film Excalibur. You know, the one with the

00:16:52.230 --> 00:16:53.970
fruity -looking guy playing Merlin and the village

00:16:53.970 --> 00:16:57.210
-idiot -looking fella playing young Arthur. Anyhow,

00:16:57.350 --> 00:16:59.789
after sitting on the banks for hours and sharing

00:16:59.789 --> 00:17:01.850
some flagons of cider, nothing much happened,

00:17:01.929 --> 00:17:04.089
and you could see Big Tony was getting more and

00:17:04.089 --> 00:17:06.539
more twitchy with each passing second. He eventually

00:17:06.539 --> 00:17:09.160
stood up abruptly and said, Saw this for a game

00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:11.019
of soldiers. I've wasted enough time on this

00:17:11.019 --> 00:17:13.839
wild goose chase. I'm off. Hang on a sec, Tony,

00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:16.359
I said. You're one of my sworn knights. You took

00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:18.380
an oath. You can't leave without being dismissed.

00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.000
He just looked at me up and down like I was some

00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:25.440
sort of half -wit and said, Knight? Oath? Excalibur?

00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:28.160
Listen to yourself, JT. You've lost the plot.

00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:30.319
I only came along for the crack and the free

00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:32.660
beer. And all this Dungeons and Dragons nonsense

00:17:32.660 --> 00:17:35.640
is getting embarrassing now. I know you, Paul,

00:17:35.740 --> 00:17:37.640
and others like to live in some weird, drug -hard

00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.160
little fantasy realm. It's a luxury I can't afford.

00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:42.960
When we're all on UC, I'm due in sight tomorrow.

00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:46.359
I'll lose my job. Tony! I cried when he stropped

00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:48.460
back to the van. You'll have riches beyond labour

00:17:48.460 --> 00:17:50.119
when I'm crowned the second king in command.

00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:52.740
This is the alien mind control talking, not you.

00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:55.180
Stay a while and share this bolly gin with me.

00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.980
You'll see things differently, I implored. It

00:17:57.980 --> 00:18:00.880
was no good. Torn is adamant, and as I watched

00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:02.559
him head back to the relative normality of the

00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:04.319
metaphorical rocking chair that is Old Mother

00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:07.000
Abba, I saw Fast Eddie jump in front of his Bedford

00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:09.279
rascal and holler, Take me back to Abba with

00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:11.559
you to pick up some supplies, Torn. I've got

00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:14.160
an idea how we can retrieve Excalibur. I looked

00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:16.000
at Fast Eddie curiously and wondered what little

00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.460
pigmy he had up his sleeve. But with Torn gone,

00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:20.140
we needed some wheels, and although it would

00:18:20.140 --> 00:18:21.859
be a bit of a squeeze, Fast Eddie's mini was

00:18:21.859 --> 00:18:24.759
capable of transporting us all. Turn about it.

00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:27.380
As Big Tony wheeled spin -off, not so much as

00:18:27.380 --> 00:18:29.519
give me a friendly two -fingered salute, I felt

00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:31.819
a genuine sense of betrayal. A big oaf would

00:18:31.819 --> 00:18:33.400
live to regret his indiscipline when asked it

00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.400
in a new world order. As I gazed round the remaining

00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.799
nights of my war party, I saw Puerto Rico Pole

00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:40.759
was sleeping off the effects of the cider, and

00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:42.880
JFK Jones was limping around annoyingly in his

00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.640
broken ankle boot and furiously texting someone

00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:47.980
on his phone. When a devious little tart saw

00:18:47.980 --> 00:18:50.019
me monitoring like a hawk, he had the good grace

00:18:50.019 --> 00:18:52.579
to look embarrassed. I continued to stare at

00:18:52.579 --> 00:18:55.109
him and said cryptically, Only those you trust

00:18:55.109 --> 00:18:57.849
can betray you. I could tell by his body language

00:18:57.849 --> 00:18:59.569
and dumb look on his face he knew what I was

00:18:59.569 --> 00:19:02.190
getting at. He was up to something fishy. And

00:19:02.190 --> 00:19:05.990
before this quest was over, I'd find out. Turnip

00:19:05.990 --> 00:19:08.130
explained that when Fast Eddie returned, he shared

00:19:08.130 --> 00:19:10.130
a plan to retrieve Excalibur that might just

00:19:10.130 --> 00:19:12.910
prove feasible. Eddie's called Fast for a reason,

00:19:13.029 --> 00:19:15.069
explained Turnip. He's quick on his feet and

00:19:15.069 --> 00:19:17.210
a fast thinker. He brought with him a two -man

00:19:17.210 --> 00:19:19.150
inflatable kayak and one of those magnetic fishing

00:19:19.150 --> 00:19:21.829
kits. The plan was that me and him would paddle

00:19:21.829 --> 00:19:23.450
out to the middle of the reservoir and drop the

00:19:23.450 --> 00:19:25.289
huge magnet on the fishing line overboard and

00:19:25.289 --> 00:19:27.630
hopefully, sooner or later, we'd find Excalibur.

00:19:28.029 --> 00:19:31.670
It was a long shot, but it was all we had. Turnip

00:19:31.670 --> 00:19:33.410
revealed that after being on the water for three

00:19:33.410 --> 00:19:36.210
hours and catching nothing but beer cans, a shopping

00:19:36.210 --> 00:19:38.650
trolley, an old scooter and an air gun, they

00:19:38.650 --> 00:19:40.890
were just about to call it a day when a cloud

00:19:40.890 --> 00:19:43.529
passed in front of the sun and an eerie silence

00:19:43.529 --> 00:19:51.339
fell. Turnip explained. It's difficult to put

00:19:51.339 --> 00:19:53.779
into words, but you could tell from the changing

00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:55.900
atmosphere something big was about to happen.

00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:59.299
We pulled up the magnet one last time, and on

00:19:59.299 --> 00:20:01.660
the end of the line was a huge sword, I'd like

00:20:01.660 --> 00:20:03.460
to say, the likes of which you'd never seen,

00:20:03.539 --> 00:20:05.920
but it was covered in rust and in a bit of a

00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:07.920
way, it looked like one of those samurai swords

00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:10.140
that were big in the 1990s, but one that had

00:20:10.140 --> 00:20:12.779
been left to rot for a couple of decades. However,

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:15.700
if I didn't already know in my heart of hearts

00:20:15.700 --> 00:20:17.920
it was Excalibur, what happened next confirmed

00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:27.789
it. to be continued. No! I'm getting so excited!

00:20:28.250 --> 00:20:31.529
As much as I implore you not to read ahead, you

00:20:31.529 --> 00:20:34.170
can if you want, because all these stories and

00:20:34.170 --> 00:20:36.829
more are compiled in the Trials and Tribulations

00:20:36.829 --> 00:20:39.430
of Johnny Turnip by Tim Butters, available on

00:20:39.430 --> 00:20:41.750
Amazon, and you can find the link from our blog

00:20:41.750 --> 00:20:49.740
page, lightlyused .co .uk. It's what I hope is

00:20:49.740 --> 00:20:52.920
everybody's favourite part of the show. It's

00:20:52.920 --> 00:21:01.359
jingle time. Are you ready? Yay. He's so enthusiastic.

00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:06.299
I love it. My tat's going to get guessed immediately

00:21:06.299 --> 00:21:11.859
again. Well, pick better tat. running out of

00:21:11.859 --> 00:21:13.579
stuff on my shelves you have to start hiding

00:21:13.579 --> 00:21:16.059
things more regularly and you come around my

00:21:16.059 --> 00:21:18.039
house you've seen everything i've got i know

00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:20.140
and when we go shopping you see what i buy in

00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:22.220
the charity shops what's really funny is you've

00:21:22.220 --> 00:21:24.319
not been around to mine for a while no and i

00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:27.859
may have secretly extended my tack collection

00:21:27.859 --> 00:21:30.680
so there are items that you won't know immediately

00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:32.359
what they are because you haven't seen them before

00:21:33.069 --> 00:21:36.950
I need a half a point advantage. Is anyone at

00:21:36.950 --> 00:21:39.190
home keeping score? That was one of our intentions

00:21:39.190 --> 00:21:42.569
when we started this. Yeah, I don't know. James,

00:21:42.990 --> 00:21:48.359
fancy a task? No, don't. Leave them alone. No,

00:21:48.500 --> 00:21:50.740
James. We're not setting homework. No, we don't

00:21:50.740 --> 00:21:52.259
do that. We're not teachers. We're not cruel.

00:21:52.779 --> 00:21:54.420
Anyway. If we can't be asked to do it ourselves,

00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:56.900
we should definitely expect someone else to do

00:21:56.900 --> 00:21:59.460
it on our behalf. When it's related to our own.

00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:02.119
Yeah, I know. Like you said last time, no one

00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:03.980
can care more about this podcast than you. And

00:22:03.980 --> 00:22:07.380
if you don't care, then that's fine. You're allowed

00:22:07.380 --> 00:22:11.680
to care more than me, but collectively, as the

00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:14.569
hosts. How much we collectively care, that's

00:22:14.569 --> 00:22:17.049
the limit. It's very disproportionate, I think,

00:22:17.109 --> 00:22:22.970
about how much we care as well. Adam's the technical

00:22:22.970 --> 00:22:27.009
perfection carer and I am the crazy, I just want

00:22:27.009 --> 00:22:30.529
to have a laugh and record a podcast side of

00:22:30.529 --> 00:22:32.849
caring. You're the seagull. You just fly in,

00:22:32.869 --> 00:22:34.490
make a lot of noise, squawk around, shit on it,

00:22:34.529 --> 00:22:36.569
fly off and go, there we go, I'm all done. Yeah,

00:22:36.609 --> 00:22:39.390
pretty much. I'm sat with this. I am the beach

00:22:39.390 --> 00:22:43.319
chicken of lightly used. Shout out to Killer

00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:46.680
Rabbit Pod. We miss you. Sam, if you're listening,

00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:50.160
I really miss you all. Come back, you guys. Yeah,

00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:52.079
we miss your northern voices. They can't keep

00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:54.019
going off into the wilderness like this and leaving

00:22:54.019 --> 00:22:58.059
us. Oh, they've got busy lives. Okay, anyway.

00:22:58.339 --> 00:23:01.799
Come out of the warren. Back onto topic. It's

00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:05.119
time for Tat in the Box, Tat in the Box, Tat

00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:07.900
in the Box, Tat in the Box, Tat in the Box, Tat

00:23:07.900 --> 00:23:14.430
in the Box, Tat in the Box. Tat in the box. It

00:23:14.430 --> 00:23:16.529
may or may not be two extra claps at the end.

00:23:16.589 --> 00:23:19.769
We're not quite sure. We'll have to look up blankety

00:23:19.769 --> 00:23:22.150
blanks and point. No one's allowed to know that

00:23:22.150 --> 00:23:23.670
I've pilfered it from someone else. They'll never

00:23:23.670 --> 00:23:27.569
find out. No. It's totally unique IP, USP. No

00:23:27.569 --> 00:23:31.089
one's ever done it before. So it's my... Item

00:23:31.089 --> 00:23:37.529
first. My hands are open, face up, ready and

00:23:37.529 --> 00:23:41.269
willing to grab whatever it is you want to put

00:23:41.269 --> 00:23:47.049
between them. I'll put it that way around between

00:23:47.049 --> 00:23:49.029
your hands. It better not be a butt plug because

00:23:49.029 --> 00:23:54.710
that sounded really awkward to get hold of. There

00:23:54.710 --> 00:23:57.210
would have probably been some sort of noise.

00:23:57.650 --> 00:24:02.190
Yeah. Oh, that was a good one. Right. Dans le

00:24:02.190 --> 00:24:08.170
table. Is it on the table? Où ai? Où ai? Où are?

00:24:08.750 --> 00:24:13.690
Où ai, monsieur? I'm going to move my arms closer

00:24:13.690 --> 00:24:20.430
together. Yep. I can't feel anything yet. Don't

00:24:20.430 --> 00:24:24.569
leave me up there. It's not very... I can't feel

00:24:24.569 --> 00:24:31.039
it yet. Oh, there it is. Oh. Oh. Told you. Adam!

00:24:31.819 --> 00:24:34.279
I can't even click the clicker. Yeah, you can.

00:24:34.500 --> 00:24:37.000
No, I can't. It's been on 89 for as long as I've

00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:40.240
known it. It doesn't matter. It does. I've remembered

00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:43.160
the number now. It's a Dorman clicker. Yeah.

00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:48.180
With a key ring on it. No, I think that's just

00:24:48.180 --> 00:24:54.319
where your finger goes. There you go. Like that?

00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:58.220
Yeah. I'm not clicking it. You can. No, no, I

00:24:58.220 --> 00:25:04.480
don't want to do it. Adam. I haven't even opened

00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:07.119
my eyes yet, everyone. But you know exactly what

00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:08.599
it was. I know exactly what it's done. Before

00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:09.920
it's even the right way around in your hand.

00:25:09.980 --> 00:25:14.660
I felt it. I felt him press that button and it

00:25:14.660 --> 00:25:18.740
didn't react the way I was expecting it to. I

00:25:18.740 --> 00:25:22.599
was hoping there'd be more of a noise. We need

00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:24.980
to be monetised to be demonetised. So, yeah,

00:25:24.980 --> 00:25:29.700
carry on. We're as filthy as we like. Guess the

00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:38.059
number. 104. Close. Higher. 106. Higher. 112.

00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:46.160
Lower. Three. 107. It's a doorman's clicker.

00:25:46.539 --> 00:25:48.740
One of those things that bouncers have on their

00:25:48.740 --> 00:25:55.750
fingers. Ooh, links. Links click. The sexy clicker

00:25:55.750 --> 00:26:00.730
for sexy men that women want to smell. That came

00:26:00.730 --> 00:26:03.690
out in around about 2006. I'm not sure if Link's

00:26:03.690 --> 00:26:07.309
click is still a smell that's around now. But

00:26:07.309 --> 00:26:10.390
we may have one American listener for you. It's

00:26:10.390 --> 00:26:14.009
Axe Body Spray. Mostly around the Link's effect.

00:26:14.289 --> 00:26:16.250
It was being an advertising campaign around the

00:26:16.250 --> 00:26:19.269
80s. No, about the 90s and noughties. The Lads

00:26:19.269 --> 00:26:22.240
Mag era. And the most memorable being... well

00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:25.299
for me the billions campaign hordes of attractive

00:26:25.299 --> 00:26:28.680
ladies in bikinis just running through the jungle

00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:30.859
swimming out of the sea for one guy who's a double

00:26:30.859 --> 00:26:35.839
fisting cans of spray on a deserted beach I found

00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:38.059
the reset and I was trying to get it to 89 and

00:26:38.059 --> 00:26:39.799
I clicked it about seven times and it went to

00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:44.200
147. So I think it's a dud. We've used that bit

00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:46.779
of clickiness. Yeah, it's a shame. It's a cool

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:48.859
little thing though. I like it. But yeah, this

00:26:48.859 --> 00:26:51.579
one from Link's Click Deodorant from around about

00:26:51.579 --> 00:26:54.880
2006. There were two campaigns for it. All right.

00:26:55.099 --> 00:26:59.099
I only really remember one. Ben Affleck, he was

00:26:59.099 --> 00:27:01.289
going around LA. Doing his daily things, getting

00:27:01.289 --> 00:27:04.009
food, running errands, popping out of shops before

00:27:04.009 --> 00:27:06.809
going back to the hotel. And each time a lady

00:27:06.809 --> 00:27:10.769
sort of checked him out or, hello, it's Ben Affleck.

00:27:11.029 --> 00:27:13.569
I think one time he counted a guy checking him

00:27:13.569 --> 00:27:16.490
out too. Nice. Nice to make it fair. He gets

00:27:16.490 --> 00:27:18.990
a hotel lift. There's a cleaner already in there.

00:27:19.210 --> 00:27:21.529
He notices Ben and says, I'm going to check out

00:27:21.529 --> 00:27:24.630
how many clicks I've got. 803. And the cleaner

00:27:24.630 --> 00:27:28.690
leans over. Yeah, he's over 2 ,000. There was

00:27:28.690 --> 00:27:32.369
another advert for Link's Click in 2007. No recollection

00:27:32.369 --> 00:27:35.289
of these, but it was a six advert campaign with

00:27:35.289 --> 00:27:39.410
Harmar Superstar. No idea. He's a musician. His

00:27:39.410 --> 00:27:43.549
persona of the character of Harmar Superstar

00:27:43.549 --> 00:27:45.589
is a little bit of a sleazy, but larger than

00:27:45.589 --> 00:27:49.569
life party. Right, okay. But yeah, upbeat party

00:27:49.569 --> 00:27:51.849
songs. Kind of cool. But I missed them completely.

00:27:51.890 --> 00:27:54.710
I found a video uploaded by a model in one of

00:27:54.710 --> 00:27:56.670
the adverts. I'm guessing she must have shown

00:27:56.670 --> 00:27:59.269
that these are the... adverts i've been in uh

00:27:59.269 --> 00:28:02.250
but the link will be on the show blog trying

00:28:02.250 --> 00:28:04.970
to remember the word blog there was promotion

00:28:04.970 --> 00:28:07.670
to win one of these clickers just a standard

00:28:07.670 --> 00:28:09.569
clicker for counting attendance things like that

00:28:09.569 --> 00:28:12.029
it's just got links click branding etched in

00:28:12.029 --> 00:28:15.210
one side ah yes they go for about a five or an

00:28:15.210 --> 00:28:18.750
ebay seems about a pound or two more than ebay's

00:28:18.750 --> 00:28:22.740
asking for Brand spanking new regular clicker.

00:28:22.940 --> 00:28:25.819
Yeah, the link's click branding doesn't add anything

00:28:25.819 --> 00:28:28.579
to it. Oh, it's gone back to zero. Yeah, I reset

00:28:28.579 --> 00:28:30.940
it and then tried to get it to 89 and it went

00:28:30.940 --> 00:28:38.640
to 147. That's some good action you've got going

00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:43.619
there, love. Oh, that jumped. Oh, did it throw

00:28:43.619 --> 00:28:46.019
a 100 in there? I was pressing too fast to know

00:28:46.019 --> 00:28:51.400
when it jumped, so it might have... There we

00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:54.359
go. Lovely. That'll never read 89 ever again.

00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:57.680
Never mind. There we are. Lovely bit of tap,

00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:00.839
darling. Right, my turn to guess. It is. Shut

00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:08.259
your eyes. It is on the table, roughly central

00:29:08.259 --> 00:29:11.240
to you, but not your hands, because you've got

00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:13.660
one hand wider away from you than the other.

00:29:13.779 --> 00:29:19.259
Have I? Oh, there we go. Oh, it feels like a

00:29:19.259 --> 00:29:28.559
fancy coaster. It's got some sort of embossing

00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:33.339
on it. It's quite glossy. Rubberised effect with

00:29:33.339 --> 00:29:37.960
my nails. A little bit waxy. It feels like two

00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:41.579
things together. It's five things sellotaped

00:29:41.579 --> 00:29:45.700
together. I have not removed the sellotape because

00:29:45.700 --> 00:29:49.380
I wanted to do that. Together. I'm guessing they're

00:29:49.380 --> 00:29:51.539
going to be coasters then. Correct. Would you

00:29:51.539 --> 00:29:54.640
like to try and psychically guess anything else

00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:58.599
about them? Is this the back? That is correct,

00:29:58.779 --> 00:30:02.980
yes. The rubber O is the non -slip bit on the

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:04.720
back. That's not a logo or something I'm trying

00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:10.779
to feel like. I don't think I'm going to feel

00:30:10.779 --> 00:30:13.160
anything distinctive on the front other than

00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:16.529
just the shape of a grip. for putting cups in.

00:30:16.569 --> 00:30:18.769
Is that right? No, not really. Do you want to

00:30:18.769 --> 00:30:22.549
open your eyes? Yeah. Oh, vinyl. Oh, yeah, it

00:30:22.549 --> 00:30:24.849
would have been. Yeah, I thought that was just

00:30:24.849 --> 00:30:28.349
textured. They're miniature vinyl. Was I there

00:30:28.349 --> 00:30:30.930
when you... No, you were not because I picked

00:30:30.930 --> 00:30:33.890
them up when I was with mum. Have I been somewhere

00:30:33.890 --> 00:30:36.569
you've seen some fancy coats? Quite possibly.

00:30:36.789 --> 00:30:39.009
They might not have actually been actual vinyls.

00:30:39.009 --> 00:30:40.930
It might have just been a motif or something

00:30:40.930 --> 00:30:45.160
on them. Yes. So these are a set of... They're

00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:46.660
supposed to be a set of six, but there's one

00:30:46.660 --> 00:30:49.500
missing. So I got them. There's five. They are

00:30:49.500 --> 00:30:53.420
miniature 45. Like reproduction. Reproduction

00:30:53.420 --> 00:30:58.160
vinyl records. They've got the sort of like branding

00:30:58.160 --> 00:30:59.779
label that you would normally see on the centre

00:30:59.779 --> 00:31:01.259
of a record. Do you want to pull them apart and

00:31:01.259 --> 00:31:03.359
have a look at them? Yeah, about five inch across.

00:31:04.700 --> 00:31:08.740
Well, a man's five inch. A woman might say four

00:31:08.740 --> 00:31:14.750
and a half. These were a pound for the set. We're

00:31:14.750 --> 00:31:17.230
measuring right to the antler. From the root.

00:31:17.869 --> 00:31:21.890
From the root. He takes the socks off Christmas

00:31:21.890 --> 00:31:24.329
special episodes. That's a hell of a callback.

00:31:24.849 --> 00:31:26.849
Measure from the back of the crown. I told a

00:31:26.849 --> 00:31:30.410
good joke once six months ago. No, a year ago

00:31:30.410 --> 00:31:34.450
when we recorded that new year. So, yeah, there's

00:31:34.450 --> 00:31:37.849
a set of five for a pound. They're a generic

00:31:37.849 --> 00:31:41.259
brand. They're not... Anything special, I don't

00:31:41.259 --> 00:31:42.900
think. I think that's meant to look like maybe

00:31:42.900 --> 00:31:46.000
a Warner Brothers logo on the front. Yeah, maybe.

00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:49.339
I think they've all got different record labels

00:31:49.339 --> 00:31:51.039
on them and inverted commas. Just because I saw

00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:52.640
the colours of one of them looked a little bit

00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:55.299
like Island Records, but let's have a look. The

00:31:55.299 --> 00:31:59.000
front one says Rest On Me, I think is the track

00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:02.359
name. Spectrum Records. Spectrum Records. Tea

00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:05.180
Time is the track name on that one. That's the

00:32:05.180 --> 00:32:06.839
one I think I thought was Island, just saw the

00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:10.130
colours. Yeah. That might be EMI. Oh, yeah, quite

00:32:10.130 --> 00:32:14.369
possibly. CRW, what's that? Cover and Protect.

00:32:14.809 --> 00:32:18.250
Who's that by? The Nostalgics. Are they all by

00:32:18.250 --> 00:32:20.230
the Nostalgics? They are by the Nostalgics, yes.

00:32:20.910 --> 00:32:25.150
These are selling for a complete set of six on

00:32:25.150 --> 00:32:29.650
eBay, anywhere from £6. These are from the Salvation

00:32:29.650 --> 00:32:32.789
Army. And when I first saw them, they weren't

00:32:32.789 --> 00:32:35.390
in the general tax section and they weren't in

00:32:35.390 --> 00:32:39.450
the tech section. They were kind of... in a nondescript

00:32:39.450 --> 00:32:46.529
area of stuff. And I initially thought, oh, maybe

00:32:46.529 --> 00:32:49.509
they're like those little records that you used

00:32:49.509 --> 00:32:53.450
to get for the Fisher -Price vinyl players. But

00:32:53.450 --> 00:32:56.849
obviously those records used to be printed quite

00:32:56.849 --> 00:33:00.240
thick plastic and they were coloured. um you

00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:02.299
know like pink and yellow sorry hit the mic stand

00:33:02.299 --> 00:33:05.759
then pink and yellow and things um so i walked

00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:09.400
around i say walked around i hobbled around and

00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:11.640
then found a sofa to sit on whilst mum walked

00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:14.059
around looking at these and i was like i'm gonna

00:33:14.059 --> 00:33:17.519
get them anyway because i wasn't sure but they

00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:19.380
do look like proper little records yeah fun little

00:33:19.380 --> 00:33:23.779
things they do have a Yeah, so they do have the

00:33:23.779 --> 00:33:26.579
needle grooves on them. It looks too rough to

00:33:26.579 --> 00:33:28.740
actually play anything. I think it's just symbolic.

00:33:29.180 --> 00:33:32.759
Yes. Yeah, I'm pretty sure if there's any music

00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:34.819
on there, it's probably just demonic chants or

00:33:34.819 --> 00:33:37.539
something. But I did wonder whether they might

00:33:37.539 --> 00:33:40.819
be a toyetic type thing, but they're not. They

00:33:40.819 --> 00:33:43.359
are coasters and the lady at the till told me

00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:46.099
so. And I was like, oh, I feel like a twat now.

00:33:47.470 --> 00:33:49.349
Because I was saying to her, well, they remind

00:33:49.349 --> 00:33:50.950
me of those little records you used to get for

00:33:50.950 --> 00:33:52.750
Fisher Price record players. She's like, yeah,

00:33:52.809 --> 00:33:55.029
but they're coasters. And I was like, are they?

00:33:55.250 --> 00:33:57.450
He's just dropped one. And she's like, yeah,

00:33:57.470 --> 00:33:58.829
look, they've got rubber bass. And I was like,

00:33:58.910 --> 00:34:02.470
oh, yeah, so they have. And I was kind of disappointed.

00:34:03.109 --> 00:34:06.589
But at the same time, they're a nice flat coaster.

00:34:07.509 --> 00:34:11.710
And I like a coaster. Whilst I don't necessarily

00:34:11.710 --> 00:34:14.969
use them at home, I do have a couple of sets.

00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:19.019
But the thicker a coaster is, the less stable

00:34:19.019 --> 00:34:24.500
your mug is sat atop it, I believe. So these

00:34:24.500 --> 00:34:26.440
are nice and flush. They're only probably about

00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:29.139
a millimetre, maybe maximum two millimetres thick

00:34:29.139 --> 00:34:31.460
and rubber -based. They'd keep a nice stable

00:34:31.460 --> 00:34:33.420
mug on there and you could fit a good... I mean,

00:34:33.420 --> 00:34:36.699
the HP mug would not fit on that. It would fit

00:34:36.699 --> 00:34:38.539
over it. Yeah, you might need three together.

00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:41.780
Yeah, but a standard size mug, espresso mug.

00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:44.019
They would all fit on there. And they look really,

00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:45.780
really good. They are cool, aren't they? Yeah.

00:34:45.780 --> 00:34:48.139
I'm not sure which is the missing one of the

00:34:48.139 --> 00:34:51.699
six, but that is as far as my research went because

00:34:51.699 --> 00:34:56.659
I've been busy dying on my sofa. You will find

00:34:56.659 --> 00:35:00.139
photos of all of our tats on the blog. Yes, you

00:35:00.139 --> 00:35:04.920
will. And if you've had any of these or any of

00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:06.920
the tat we've ever featured, feel free to drop

00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:10.599
us a line. Pod. at lightlyused .co .uk yeah that

00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:12.519
would be really nice actually good to hear from

00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:19.719
anyone at all so we're pretty much at the end

00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:23.000
of our mini recording session yeah sorry it's

00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:25.000
been a little bit of a shorter episode this time

00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:27.480
that's okay people won't mind that it's easier

00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:30.800
for a commute probably yeah and let's face it

00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:32.699
an hour of listening to me is enough to send

00:35:32.699 --> 00:35:37.670
anyone to therapy Hopefully normal service will

00:35:37.670 --> 00:35:39.809
resume in two weeks' time. I'm sure it will.

00:35:41.230 --> 00:35:45.730
So, it was your birthday yesterday. Yeah. No,

00:35:45.929 --> 00:35:47.769
it was your birthday on Friday, today is Sunday.

00:35:47.769 --> 00:35:49.449
Oh yeah, sorry, it's usually Saturday we record

00:35:49.449 --> 00:35:52.030
this. Wow, I've totally lost today. It was your

00:35:52.030 --> 00:35:54.789
birthday on Friday. You're not a general celebrator

00:35:54.789 --> 00:36:00.349
of birthdays. Which makes life... Difficult for

00:36:00.349 --> 00:36:02.690
me because I like to celebrate the people that

00:36:02.690 --> 00:36:09.110
I like being here. And so does my mum. So, happy

00:36:09.110 --> 00:36:14.530
birthday. Oh, thank you very much. I've been

00:36:14.530 --> 00:36:19.130
given an N card. With a VW bus on the front.

00:36:19.789 --> 00:36:23.090
Oh, thank you very, very much. That's from mum.

00:36:23.469 --> 00:36:27.050
And if you would please close your eyes and hold

00:36:27.050 --> 00:36:30.420
your hands out. Yeah, mum said she got you the

00:36:30.420 --> 00:36:32.179
card with the van on because she'd been fixing

00:36:32.179 --> 00:36:34.260
your one up and she thought it was... That's

00:36:34.260 --> 00:36:38.099
way better than the Tetmobile. Okay, hold your

00:36:38.099 --> 00:36:41.119
hands out. Oh, okay. So this is a crap present

00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:43.440

mentioned this to you yesterday it might actually

00:37:55.789 --> 00:37:57.429
have been last night when we were falling asleep

00:37:57.429 --> 00:37:59.269
that's the one where the clues are named two

00:37:59.269 --> 00:38:02.050
people are who applied to the show to say they

00:38:02.050 --> 00:38:04.670
can survive on a jungle island for is it two

00:38:04.670 --> 00:38:08.730
weeks or so with just with their wits it varies

00:38:09.579 --> 00:38:11.800
The season that I'm watching at the moment is

00:38:11.800 --> 00:38:14.980
Last One Standing, season three. Oh, is it? Quite

00:38:14.980 --> 00:38:16.579
a few people competing against each other. Yeah.

00:38:16.579 --> 00:38:21.179
So it starts, I think they started off with six

00:38:21.179 --> 00:38:26.300
women and six men. And you are basically naked.

00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:30.500
You have nothing other than the... Mic pack.

00:38:30.739 --> 00:38:32.820
You know, you've got, yeah, you've got... Obviously,

00:38:32.820 --> 00:38:35.579
you've got your cameras and there's safety people

00:38:35.579 --> 00:38:37.019
around because you're in the outback in Australia

00:38:37.019 --> 00:38:39.760
and whatnot. But you're naked. You've got a knife.

00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:42.099
You've got a ferro rod or whatever it's called

00:38:42.099 --> 00:38:46.539
to make a fire and a water bowl, water pot. Pail

00:38:46.539 --> 00:38:48.500
or something. You know, like the metal ones that

00:38:48.500 --> 00:38:51.150
you can chuck on a fire. Yeah, Dixie Tins. Yeah,

00:38:51.150 --> 00:38:53.110
yeah, that sort of thing. That holds a couple

00:38:53.110 --> 00:38:54.849
of litres of water. And that's about it. And

00:38:54.849 --> 00:38:58.050
everything else you have to scavenge for, hunt

00:38:58.050 --> 00:39:01.489
for, forage for. You have to build your own shelter

00:39:01.489 --> 00:39:04.849
if you want a shelter. And this season, Last

00:39:04.849 --> 00:39:08.670
One Standing, is brilliant. It's a lot of the...

00:39:08.989 --> 00:39:11.570
very regular faces that people have gotten to

00:39:11.570 --> 00:39:14.590
enjoy that have done the previous seasons of

00:39:14.590 --> 00:39:17.730
Naked and Afraid that are just normal episodes

00:39:17.730 --> 00:39:20.329
without them having to compete against other

00:39:20.329 --> 00:39:23.659
camps. So it's just two people off in a jungle

00:39:23.659 --> 00:39:27.360
or in the African savannah. Or for this one,

00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:29.559
it's the Australian outback. Like the needy survival

00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:34.039
all -stars. Yes. Yeah, exactly. So they've all

00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:36.000
come through sort of like, I think there's been

00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:38.699
like 18 seasons of Naked and Afraid. Oh, plenty

00:39:38.699 --> 00:39:40.900
of contestants to choose from. Loads. And there's

00:39:40.900 --> 00:39:43.380
some amazing characters. There are some real

00:39:43.380 --> 00:39:45.860
nutcase survivalists out there. You fucking have

00:39:45.860 --> 00:39:49.869
to be. But anyway. There's one camp at the moment

00:39:49.869 --> 00:39:51.869
that is, this won't mean anything to you, but

00:39:51.869 --> 00:39:53.449
anyone that watches Naked and Afraid, last one

00:39:53.449 --> 00:39:56.570
standing, I apologise. This is season three,

00:39:56.610 --> 00:39:59.329
episode three, potential spoilers. Switch your

00:39:59.329 --> 00:40:01.110
ears off. Fast forward for a little bit if you

00:40:01.110 --> 00:40:05.349
want to miss this. There is one camp of three

00:40:05.349 --> 00:40:08.650
people at the moment, Matt, Max and Laura. They

00:40:08.650 --> 00:40:12.070
are like super duper all -star Naked and Afraid

00:40:12.070 --> 00:40:15.550
survivalists. like professional survivalists

00:40:15.550 --> 00:40:19.389
they train they hunt for their food they you

00:40:19.389 --> 00:40:22.070
know they teach people all these skills max is

00:40:22.070 --> 00:40:24.530
back at camp laura and matt go out hunting for

00:40:24.530 --> 00:40:28.510
wild boar for pigs or goat because they're an

00:40:28.510 --> 00:40:30.449
invasive species and they can kill those and

00:40:30.449 --> 00:40:32.849
eat those and no one's going to care so off they

00:40:32.849 --> 00:40:35.130
go with their bow and arrows and their kangaroo

00:40:35.130 --> 00:40:37.849
hide strapped around their feet and like a a

00:40:37.849 --> 00:40:40.880
tote bag made of hessian which Doesn't cover

00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:45.239
much. Whoever used to have to do the blur for

00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:48.840
Naked and Afraid before AI blur ability turned

00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:53.179
up, if they've not had some sort of weird kink

00:40:53.179 --> 00:40:57.079
or mental breakdown related to how much gooch

00:40:57.079 --> 00:40:59.900
and foof they've seen, I don't understand. But

00:40:59.900 --> 00:41:02.119
I'm sure it's all done by AI now, which is probably

00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:04.519
much better for people's mental health. Not sexual

00:41:04.519 --> 00:41:08.639
anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not sexy. I mean...

00:41:09.070 --> 00:41:12.510
The TV programme is not sexy. It is the absolute

00:41:12.510 --> 00:41:15.469
opposite of sexy. It's pretty gross. It's not

00:41:15.469 --> 00:41:20.070
even meat, it's just pixels. Yeah, yeah. So anyway...

00:41:20.070 --> 00:41:23.670
I only see it blurred now. So Matt and Laura

00:41:23.670 --> 00:41:25.789
go off to try and find these pigs that they can

00:41:25.789 --> 00:41:28.349
shoot and have for breakfast or whatever. And

00:41:28.349 --> 00:41:34.150
they come across this enormous nest. And you

00:41:34.150 --> 00:41:38.369
have ostriches and emus in Australia. I don't

00:41:38.369 --> 00:41:40.000
know about... They might have ostriches, they

00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:45.360
definitely have emus. But this nest is so big

00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:49.340
that it could house a family of like 10 emus.

00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:53.139
It's like eight feet round at the base, seven

00:41:53.139 --> 00:41:57.239
or eight feet tall, made purely from blades of

00:41:57.239 --> 00:42:00.460
grass. matt and laura are like what the hell

00:42:00.460 --> 00:42:02.780
is this they're walking all the way around it

00:42:02.780 --> 00:42:04.599
trying to figure out if it's a bird's nest and

00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:06.219
matt's like well there's no feathers there's

00:42:06.219 --> 00:42:08.920
no dirt it's completely clean they both climb

00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:11.559
inside it laura's like sticking her face into

00:42:11.559 --> 00:42:14.019
the leaves going oh my god it smells so nice

00:42:14.019 --> 00:42:17.320
this smells lovely and they're like dossing about

00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:19.480
and then they go back to camp and they haven't

00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:21.320
caught a pig but they found this really cool

00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:23.099
nest that they don't really know what it's for

00:42:23.099 --> 00:42:25.739
and like laura jokes at one point or maybe it

00:42:25.739 --> 00:42:28.659
belongs to a pterodactyl you know it's the australian

00:42:28.659 --> 00:42:31.480
outback you don't know what's out here um lovely

00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:35.780
yeah and then about 10 or 15 minutes after they

00:42:35.780 --> 00:42:39.559
get back to camp the producer turns up with two

00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:42.840
people whose faces you don't see who are like

00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:46.659
the professional outback safety people to make

00:42:46.659 --> 00:42:49.750
sure that you know, if a dangerous snake is spotted,

00:42:49.969 --> 00:42:52.889
it's tracked and people are made aware of where

00:42:52.889 --> 00:42:57.010
it is, you know, and to warn people of these

00:42:57.010 --> 00:42:58.750
are the things you can touch, these are the things

00:42:58.750 --> 00:43:00.329
you can't touch. They know the outback really

00:43:00.329 --> 00:43:03.170
well. Are they pixelated? No. Or is the camera

00:43:03.170 --> 00:43:06.130
just pointed down? The camera is shoulder level

00:43:06.130 --> 00:43:07.869
down. I was just wondering, I just wanted to

00:43:07.869 --> 00:43:09.650
know how much production value you got into.

00:43:09.889 --> 00:43:11.389
Oh, shoot, we've got to protect these at all

00:43:11.389 --> 00:43:14.329
costs. Okay, we need to make a point of not pointing.

00:43:14.489 --> 00:43:15.969
Right, that's what's happening. You can't see

00:43:15.969 --> 00:43:19.230
their faces. You can hear their voices. And they

00:43:19.230 --> 00:43:23.510
come to the group really weirdly, like an emergency

00:43:23.510 --> 00:43:27.309
situation. And these Australian guys are like,

00:43:27.429 --> 00:43:29.929
you can't go back there and you can't say anything

00:43:29.929 --> 00:43:32.269
to anybody about this. We need to keep this,

00:43:32.269 --> 00:43:35.050
like, in this group. It cannot go any further.

00:43:35.289 --> 00:43:39.909
On an international TV programme. And he's like,

00:43:40.110 --> 00:43:42.969
don't go anywhere near it. Don't touch it. And

00:43:42.969 --> 00:43:45.440
they're like, oh, is it a bird nest? And the

00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:50.119
guy's like, no, it's not. And we found one similar

00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:53.239
up north a few months ago. There's been scientists

00:43:53.239 --> 00:43:55.179
there investigating it, blah, blah, blah, blah,

00:43:55.179 --> 00:43:57.519
blah, this, that and the other. And the best

00:43:57.519 --> 00:44:00.420
thing they can describe it as is a primate nest.

00:44:01.460 --> 00:44:07.079
Now, to the best of my very poor knowledge of

00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:11.420
the animal kingdom, I don't think Australia has

00:44:11.420 --> 00:44:15.880
any native primates. They've got marsupials.

00:44:16.820 --> 00:44:19.519
Kangaroo's probably the biggest. And koala is

00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:24.079
like the closest thing, maybe. Drop bears. Yeah.

00:44:24.219 --> 00:44:28.940
But they don't have any apes, you know. No chimpanzees,

00:44:28.940 --> 00:44:32.920
no monkeys. As far as I know, if I'm wrong, please

00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:35.000
feel free to correct me, anyone who's listening.

00:44:35.059 --> 00:44:37.219
I really don't mind that because this is just

00:44:37.219 --> 00:44:42.179
me talking nonsense. And Matt's like, a primate

00:44:42.179 --> 00:44:44.949
nest. And the Australian guy's like, yeah, don't

00:44:44.949 --> 00:44:48.250
go anywhere near it. And Matt's like, what, Bigfoot?

00:44:48.769 --> 00:44:50.369
And Laura's like, oh my God, have we found a

00:44:50.369 --> 00:44:54.309
Yeti nest? Bruce Hood. And the Australian guys

00:44:54.309 --> 00:44:57.829
are like, really don't want to talk about it,

00:44:57.889 --> 00:44:59.869
but they've got to sort of say, like, you can't

00:44:59.869 --> 00:45:03.329
talk about this. They won't say that it is definitely

00:45:03.329 --> 00:45:06.809
a Bigfoot nest. One of them mentions the word

00:45:06.809 --> 00:45:09.989
Yowie. which is, I don't know how it's spelt.

00:45:10.530 --> 00:45:14.650
I think it's phonetic. Which is, you know, Australia's

00:45:14.650 --> 00:45:19.070
version of the Bigfoot or... That wasn't a call

00:45:19.070 --> 00:45:21.530
that's just next door making noises. That was

00:45:21.530 --> 00:45:23.650
weirdly timed. It was weirdly timed. Don't know

00:45:23.650 --> 00:45:26.590
if that'll come out on that. Like Australia's

00:45:26.590 --> 00:45:29.610
version of Bigfoot or a Yeti or a Sasquatch.

00:45:29.670 --> 00:45:32.829
Osquatch. Osquatch. Oh yeah, cool. So a Yowie.

00:45:32.989 --> 00:45:36.230
And these creatures are not to be trifled with.

00:45:36.510 --> 00:45:40.190
They can... create disastrous situations for

00:45:40.190 --> 00:45:44.170
you if you disrespect them their land their space

00:45:44.170 --> 00:45:48.269
or anything but they smell so good I am now waiting

00:45:48.269 --> 00:45:51.289
for a series of calamities to happen to Laura

00:45:51.289 --> 00:45:53.570
and Matt because they've both been inside this

00:45:53.570 --> 00:45:56.809
nest and they were like we we sat inside that

00:45:56.809 --> 00:45:58.389
and the Australian guy was like you shouldn't

00:45:58.389 --> 00:46:01.289
have done that So, honestly, I don't know if

00:46:01.289 --> 00:46:04.730
this is a manufactured situation or if it is

00:46:04.730 --> 00:46:07.409
just a random nest that happens to have been

00:46:07.409 --> 00:46:09.269
there. But it was enormous. Is that where the

00:46:09.269 --> 00:46:12.690
cameramen are hanging out and having a shower

00:46:12.690 --> 00:46:16.969
and stuff? That's why it smells so good. That's

00:46:16.969 --> 00:46:20.670
baby oil and lubricant smell. The cameraman's

00:46:20.670 --> 00:46:27.059
having a shifty in the bushes there. Gross. Don't

00:46:27.059 --> 00:46:29.380
go back there. Oh, you've got to respect the

00:46:29.380 --> 00:46:32.119
territory. They'll get angry. Don't even look

00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:36.280
at that again. Stay away. But, I mean, if you've

00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:39.099
never watched Naked and Afraid, it's one of my

00:46:39.099 --> 00:46:41.139
guilty pleasure TVs. Lexi introduced me to it

00:46:41.139 --> 00:46:43.079
years ago, and I used to rip the piss out of

00:46:43.079 --> 00:46:45.300
her for watching it. I'd be like, naked people

00:46:45.300 --> 00:46:47.840
in the jungle? What a bunch of fucking idiots.

00:46:48.300 --> 00:46:50.699
But then when you watch it, you realise that

00:46:50.699 --> 00:46:54.710
these idiots are... eminently watchable and they

00:46:54.710 --> 00:46:58.969
represent fairly regularly the worst attributes

00:46:58.969 --> 00:47:01.969
of human beings and you really find people to

00:47:01.969 --> 00:47:04.050
root for and you really find people to dislike

00:47:04.050 --> 00:47:06.989
and then you get into the bets of tapping who's

00:47:06.989 --> 00:47:09.449
going to tap first how many of the people seem

00:47:09.449 --> 00:47:13.449
to be more yeah they are they look like the outdoors

00:47:13.449 --> 00:47:15.690
man and this seems to be how how they get by

00:47:15.690 --> 00:47:19.110
is living off the land compared to yeah i reckon

00:47:19.110 --> 00:47:22.989
i can have a go at that Well, that's a good question.

00:47:23.389 --> 00:47:25.730
I wish I hadn't had to go with that accent. Yeah,

00:47:25.769 --> 00:47:27.829
that was a good Australia. That was impressive.

00:47:28.829 --> 00:47:31.309
Really? Yeah, no, it came across really well.

00:47:31.449 --> 00:47:33.190
Oh, thank fuck. I was immediately regretting

00:47:33.190 --> 00:47:34.530
that. Oh, no, no. I thought it sounded great.

00:47:34.650 --> 00:47:40.369
Especially by my standards. There are a number

00:47:40.369 --> 00:47:43.760
of people who... go on naked and afraid, whose

00:47:43.760 --> 00:47:49.099
lives are survival. They work in survival. They

00:47:49.099 --> 00:47:52.719
live in survival. Until the incident. They spend

00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:57.480
their time building fires outdoors and, you know,

00:47:57.480 --> 00:48:01.920
making traps and shooting turkeys or whatever

00:48:01.920 --> 00:48:04.219
it is that they shoot to get by and, you know,

00:48:04.219 --> 00:48:06.280
make their food. And, you know, I don't have

00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:09.880
any problem with people... I mean, I'm not vegetarian,

00:48:10.039 --> 00:48:12.099
I'm not vegan, and I'm sorry if you disagree

00:48:12.099 --> 00:48:17.719
with this opinion. It is purely mine. If you

00:48:17.719 --> 00:48:21.559
are someone who kills your food to eat it, so

00:48:21.559 --> 00:48:25.519
if you're going out getting grouse, turkey, bear...

00:48:26.269 --> 00:48:29.510
moose whatever if you're shooting that animal

00:48:29.510 --> 00:48:31.650
to feed your family and that's your shopping

00:48:31.650 --> 00:48:34.010
for the month not trophy hunting yeah then that

00:48:34.010 --> 00:48:36.889
is fine but people who go around to kill things

00:48:36.889 --> 00:48:38.869
purely for the pleasure of killing them that

00:48:38.869 --> 00:48:41.989
i wholly disagree with no they've got a reason

00:48:41.989 --> 00:48:43.530
to be killing what they're killing yeah they

00:48:43.530 --> 00:48:45.489
do have a reason to be killing what they're killing

00:48:45.489 --> 00:48:49.550
um the show is quite brutal and and doesn't shy

00:48:49.550 --> 00:48:52.889
away from the practicalities of having to end

00:48:53.500 --> 00:48:55.860
creature's lives in order to sustain your own

00:48:55.860 --> 00:48:58.340
uh you do see things being gutted and whatnot

00:48:58.340 --> 00:49:00.960
you don't often see things being killed um but

00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:03.980
you do see like the processing of the carcass

00:49:03.980 --> 00:49:07.840
or whatever um but yeah i'm i'm waiting for next

00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:10.840
friday for episode four to to see if the sasquatch

00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:12.940
has come and got matt and laura in their sleep

00:49:12.940 --> 00:49:15.599
i'm really fascinated if you're into like mysteries

00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:18.840
encrypted and naked the idea of naked people

00:49:18.840 --> 00:49:21.699
running around trying to survive in the outback

00:49:21.699 --> 00:49:23.860
in australia in the middle of summer is a good

00:49:23.860 --> 00:49:26.320
idea to you this is really worth watching it's

00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:29.440
on discovery plus go ahead and watch it um and

00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:32.039
i have a new addiction oh yes this is the last

00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:34.219
thing i'm gonna talk about before you're allowed

00:49:34.219 --> 00:49:37.420
to do the outro it's welcome nothing to really

00:49:37.420 --> 00:49:40.199
thanks for listening yeah cheers everyone love

00:49:40.199 --> 00:49:44.480
you um my new addiction has come about because

00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:49.760
it is tornado season in america and Central time

00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:54.800
is however many hours behind us. Five, six. Something

00:49:54.800 --> 00:49:56.500
like that. I don't know. I've tried to work it

00:49:56.500 --> 00:49:58.699
out. But when you're watching TV at four o 'clock

00:49:58.699 --> 00:50:01.219
in the morning and you haven't slept yet, it's

00:50:01.219 --> 00:50:05.320
difficult. Max Velocity. Shout out to Max Velocity

00:50:05.320 --> 00:50:11.139
of YouTube. He is a young guy who is a meteorologist,

00:50:11.420 --> 00:50:16.519
certified, degreed. And he runs a channel that...

00:50:17.099 --> 00:50:21.500
He streams all of the active storm chasers and

00:50:21.500 --> 00:50:25.699
the weather radar for supercells, looking for

00:50:25.699 --> 00:50:29.559
tornadoes, giving out warnings to people. And

00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:34.860
he is so easy to watch. And the thing about watching

00:50:34.860 --> 00:50:38.699
storm chasers is it's great when it's in rural

00:50:38.699 --> 00:50:43.239
areas. I have seen some fucking awesome tornadoes

00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:44.739
in the last couple of weeks because I've not

00:50:44.739 --> 00:50:47.960
been able to sleep. And the weather around Texas

00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:53.980
has been just perfect for tornadoes. And there

00:50:53.980 --> 00:50:56.760
was this huge one that was like big enough to

00:50:56.760 --> 00:50:58.820
fill your screen. It was dust wrapped. It was

00:50:58.820 --> 00:51:00.619
bright orange because of all the dust it was

00:51:00.619 --> 00:51:02.420
throwing up and the light that was coming down

00:51:02.420 --> 00:51:05.599
through. It was amazing and I love it. But I

00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:07.599
caught myself watching it the other day and there

00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:10.139
was a tornado, a destructive tornado heading

00:51:10.139 --> 00:51:16.289
towards a small city. And... The whole feel of

00:51:16.289 --> 00:51:18.369
the channel was completely different. Like, it

00:51:18.369 --> 00:51:21.730
really put across the severity. And the fact

00:51:21.730 --> 00:51:24.909
that not just tornadoes are important things

00:51:24.909 --> 00:51:26.949
to look out for, but the storms, the general

00:51:26.949 --> 00:51:29.090
thunderstorms they get out there, the severe

00:51:29.090 --> 00:51:32.250
thunderstorms, can have winds of up to 100 miles

00:51:32.250 --> 00:51:35.530
an hour. And they actually had a derecho situation,

00:51:35.889 --> 00:51:39.309
I'm going to say North Dakota, a couple of days

00:51:39.309 --> 00:51:44.349
ago. And a derecho is a line of storms. I believe

00:51:44.349 --> 00:51:49.610
that's over 150 miles long with recorded winds

00:51:49.610 --> 00:51:54.110
of over 100 miles an hour. Now, if the UK had

00:51:54.110 --> 00:51:56.969
a storm that was 150 miles long with winds of

00:51:56.969 --> 00:51:59.010
over 100 miles an hour, half the country would

00:51:59.010 --> 00:52:04.110
fall over. But it really sort of made me think,

00:52:04.150 --> 00:52:07.670
oh, is this a good hobby? Because I want to see

00:52:07.670 --> 00:52:10.530
really cool tornadoes, but I don't want to see

00:52:10.530 --> 00:52:13.730
people's houses and lives. Just happening. Destroyed.

00:52:13.730 --> 00:52:16.409
In the middle of nowhere. America's big enough.

00:52:16.670 --> 00:52:20.449
Yeah, yeah. So agricultural wide open space tornadoes,

00:52:20.449 --> 00:52:23.449
fucking brilliant. Tornadoes going towards cities,

00:52:23.670 --> 00:52:26.769
terrifying. And I'm thousands of miles away,

00:52:26.849 --> 00:52:31.010
sat on my sofa, completely safe, terrified of

00:52:31.010 --> 00:52:34.050
people that I will never see, never know, never

00:52:34.050 --> 00:52:36.550
speak to. And I'm like, I am literally watching

00:52:36.550 --> 00:52:40.969
potential death. move at like 20 miles an hour

00:52:40.969 --> 00:52:43.829
towards the city and thankfully that particular

00:52:43.829 --> 00:52:45.989
tornado took a bit of a turn to the south and

00:52:45.989 --> 00:52:48.989
it missed it and it stayed in a mostly agricultural

00:52:48.989 --> 00:52:56.230
rural areas but some people have died I think

00:52:56.230 --> 00:52:57.989
there's been like four reported deaths in the

00:52:57.989 --> 00:53:01.510
last 24 hours due to tornadoes so my new addiction

00:53:01.510 --> 00:53:05.269
I think I need to have a bit of think about because

00:53:05.269 --> 00:53:12.300
whilst it's and tornadoes are fascinating and

00:53:12.300 --> 00:53:17.110
beautiful and insane. You're watching for the

00:53:17.110 --> 00:53:21.250
force of nature, not the results of what's happening.

00:53:21.329 --> 00:53:23.190
I don't want to see people destroyed, but the

00:53:23.190 --> 00:53:26.849
process... No, don't. I don't want to see people

00:53:26.849 --> 00:53:29.130
destroyed. Full stop. There's no but there. I

00:53:29.130 --> 00:53:31.230
should have ended that sentence there. It's the

00:53:31.230 --> 00:53:33.809
storm itself and the weather phenomenon. Yes,

00:53:33.809 --> 00:53:36.590
it's the phenomenon that is fascinating, not

00:53:36.590 --> 00:53:39.170
the results of it. So, yes, I need to have a

00:53:39.170 --> 00:53:42.469
think about my 4am addiction. As for us, it was

00:53:42.469 --> 00:53:43.909
a bit windy outside. You might have heard her

00:53:43.909 --> 00:53:46.510
go past the window. There's still a few times.

00:53:46.510 --> 00:53:49.150
Yeah, it's been a couple of little gusts. Wasn't

00:53:49.150 --> 00:53:51.670
me farting, I promise. Yeah, well, that's pretty

00:53:51.670 --> 00:53:54.090
much all the nonsense I've got to talk about

00:53:54.090 --> 00:53:56.769
this episode. Before we end, I just want to say

00:53:56.769 --> 00:53:59.730
