[00:00:00] Speaker A: This is a public service announcement as loyal listeners to the I love you but podcast starring Jennifer and Christopher Gere. You may have noticed that these guys have been off air for a considerable amount of time. This is simply because they had absolutely nothing to talk about.
[00:00:20] Speaker B: Nothing.
[00:00:21] Speaker A: We had nothing to talk about. January sucked. But guess what? We are back. It is February.
Oh, welcome to the show.
Yeah, Jen.
That kind of whizzed by, didn't it? We also haven't had a chance to talk about anything. But why, Jen?
[00:00:53] Speaker B: Well, because.
I don't know. It's been a funny time, hasn't it? We've been a bit like hibernate. Is that a word? Is that a verb? No, it's an adjective. Hibernate. It's not actually a word.
[00:01:03] Speaker A: Be a great Scrabble word.
Hibernate.
[00:01:07] Speaker B: Very hibernate. Since our Christmas episode. Because then it was like, well, it's new year, we'll do something in January. And then January rolled round and it was like, a little bit depressing.
[00:01:18] Speaker A: And then we literally did no socializing. We barely went out.
[00:01:22] Speaker B: We got fit, though.
[00:01:23] Speaker A: Yeah, we got fit. I'm not going to lie to you. Chris gears getting well, hench, he's getting.
[00:01:28] Speaker B: A bit, like, loaded.
[00:01:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Listen, I'm not going to blow my own trumpet here, but I have invested in this trainer since November and it's finally paying off. Yes, mate, it is. I feel very strong. I feel very ready for summer. Like they say, summer ready.
[00:01:47] Speaker B: You're summer ready. But it's only February.
[00:01:49] Speaker A: The second I'm February ready because I've got this trainer. I'm going to be that guy that talks about, I'm doing my training, but I am and he is working.
[00:02:00] Speaker B: You are doing your training hard. Well done, Dan the man.
[00:02:04] Speaker A: Well done, Dan. I find that most personal trainers are called Dan, aren't they?
[00:02:08] Speaker B: I knew were going to say that.
[00:02:09] Speaker A: Yeah.
Just have a feeling because it's that kind of shape, isn't it?
[00:02:13] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:02:14] Speaker A: If you meet a builder, they're probably called Paul.
[00:02:16] Speaker B: I thought you were going to say Bob then.
[00:02:20] Speaker A: If you meet a personal trainer, it's going to be Dan, isn't it? Or Laura.
[00:02:27] Speaker B: Interesting.
One of my. Stop talking all the time. Can't get bloody word. And edge, mate.
One of my personal trainers was called Jif. But with two know to make a distinction between surface spray.
[00:02:42] Speaker A: Did you discover the origin of why she was called Jif?
[00:02:46] Speaker B: I probably did at the time. Can't remember now.
[00:02:48] Speaker A: Brilliant. I would like to do a quick shout out to my good friend Louise. I won't say her. I won't say her surname.
[00:02:56] Speaker B: But can we say what it's in reference to, though?
[00:02:59] Speaker A: Well, of course, yeah. You may remember, loyal listeners, there was an episode called.
What was it called?
[00:03:07] Speaker B: Wait a second.
Happy as Larry.
[00:03:11] Speaker A: Happy as Larry.
[00:03:12] Speaker B: Episode 14 of series one.
I had to look it up.
[00:03:17] Speaker A: Are we technically calling this series three now of we want to be like, oh, it's a new year, it's a new series.
[00:03:22] Speaker B: No, we're still in series two. You, Burke, because it's only up to episode ten.
[00:03:26] Speaker A: Call me a Burke. You, Burke.
[00:03:28] Speaker B: Stop talking over me. We've got to stop talking over each other because it can't bleep us out from each other's feed. Exactly.
[00:03:33] Speaker A: So Louise and I won't say her surname was an ex lover of mine back in the day.
[00:03:40] Speaker B: Hi, Lou.
[00:03:41] Speaker A: Hi, Lou.
Anyway, so in that episode, I was talking about the fact that I had a date for the evening, which was Louise. She came to my student Diggs and I was about to cook her steak and chips, but unfortunately the steak was off and the only thing that I had in the freezer to defrost was some liver. So I cooked her liver and chips, which Jen and I were laughing about in the episode because it's absolutely disgusting.
[00:04:08] Speaker B: And it's very smelly and it's very.
[00:04:09] Speaker A: Smelly and it stunk out the whole house. And yet she still stayed with me for a while, which I'm very, very grateful to her for that.
[00:04:16] Speaker B: You shouldn't judge any man on his liver.
[00:04:18] Speaker A: Don't think that's a phrase. I thought nothing of it. And then a couple of weeks ago, we get a little email to
[email protected]. Little plug there. Nice saying. I'm not sure whether Chris makes a habit of cooking liver for his dates on Valentine's Day, but if he doesn't, then I believe that person was me.
[00:04:40] Speaker B: Hooray.
And it was fantastic to get that email. It was really great to hear from you. And I'm so sorry we haven't actually got around to responding yet. I haven't responded, have you?
[00:04:49] Speaker A: No, I haven't. Well, this is my response. Hey, Lou. Now living in France. Very nice.
[00:04:54] Speaker B: Well, I noticed that she's got a French.
[00:04:55] Speaker A: She's a wedding planner in France.
[00:04:57] Speaker B: Fantastic. Well, Louise, you know where I am if you need me. Bianci.
[00:05:07] Speaker A: So, Jen, what have we got on the show today?
[00:05:09] Speaker B: What have we got on the show today? Well, I think we should start with one of us gets it wrong.
[00:05:15] Speaker A: Oh, good. Okay. Oh, it's going to be me then, isn't it?
[00:05:18] Speaker B: Wait and see.
[00:05:19] Speaker A: Roll the jingle.
[00:05:20] Speaker B: Roll the jingle.
[00:05:22] Speaker A: 1235.
[00:05:48] Speaker B: Okay, so, Chris, you may recall a time during the pandemic where we were luckily whisked off to Vancouver for a job that you were doing.
[00:05:57] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:05:57] Speaker B: And I was sauntering down the street, masked up, and a camera crew stopped me.
[00:06:05] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:06:05] Speaker B: And they said, would you mind? We're recording for our YouTube channel. It was pretty official. And they said, we're trying to interview people and find out what makes them happy, especially in this troubled world that we're in at the moment. Would you mind if we interviewed you? So I said, yeah, not a problem.
And they said, so what is it? And I said, well, I've just read this amazing book, which my husband's read as well, and it's called the four agreements.
[00:06:30] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Love that book.
[00:06:32] Speaker B: Such a good book. It's a wisdom book by Don Miguel Ruiz. And I was like, it's such a great book. And I was like, there's four points. There's four agreements that you have to remember, know, be the best version of yourself.
[00:06:45] Speaker A: Love it.
[00:06:46] Speaker B: And they were like, right, go for it. Give them to us.
[00:06:48] Speaker A: And you're live on camera at this point.
[00:06:50] Speaker B: Live on camera.
[00:06:51] Speaker A: Brilliant.
[00:06:51] Speaker B: I'm like, I could already see where this is going.
[00:06:55] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:06:55] Speaker B: Four agreements. Number one, be impeccable with your word.
[00:06:59] Speaker A: Love that.
[00:07:00] Speaker B: Speak with integrity. Make sure that you just think about.
[00:07:03] Speaker A: What you're saying before you say it.
[00:07:06] Speaker B: Number two totally blanked, and I went, hang on a sec, hang on a sec.
Oh, what is it?
Hang on, it'll come to me. Hang on. I'll do number three while I'm waiting. So number three is like, what was it again?
Anyway, the camera is still rolling. I'm going, I just can't believe this.
They're on the tip of my tongue and I can't remember it. Anyway, it was just really funny, really embarrassing. And then in the end, I was like, I can't remember them, but just read the book.
Totally got it wrong.
[00:07:41] Speaker A: What a guest you were.
[00:07:42] Speaker B: But just for your information, listeners, can I guess? Go on, you guess. Can you remember? I love the book.
[00:07:48] Speaker A: Okay? So be impeccable with your word. Don't take anything personally.
[00:07:53] Speaker B: Yes. Nothing others do is because of you.
[00:07:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Don't make assumptions.
[00:07:59] Speaker B: Very good.
[00:08:00] Speaker A: And always try your best.
[00:08:02] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly.
[00:08:03] Speaker A: Boom. They should have interviewed me rather than old.
[00:08:05] Speaker B: Somebody paid. Somebody paid attention.
[00:08:11] Speaker A: That is a classic. And I love how humble you're being here. By the first segment of the year being somebody does it wrong. And you're actually being very cute about yourself getting it wrong there.
[00:08:21] Speaker B: But I swear to you, I think the menopause was starting to set in then I think I had early menopause.
[00:08:26] Speaker A: Do you reckon you can't remember anything?
[00:08:29] Speaker B: I just can't recall things as quickly as I used to.
[00:08:32] Speaker A: Well, that's part of life, isn't it's part of the. Part of the journey, of the changes that one goes through.
[00:08:38] Speaker B: I mean, I know that. I know somewhere in there, but it's just the filing systems in a right old mess.
[00:08:45] Speaker A: Needs a bit of a spring clean, which links on beautifully to something I want to talk about. It's not actually a jingle, unless you want to make a jingle about this in particular.
[00:08:57] Speaker B: No, get on with it. Without a jingle.
[00:09:01] Speaker A: Make a jingle. And then it takes her days. Of course it does. It's not like a quick.
[00:09:06] Speaker B: Just that. And then you go, oh, you're stuck in your music room and you're just working on your music all the time. And I'm like, you're the one that. And he's like, it's dinner time. And then after dinner, I have to come back up and work on the music.
[00:09:18] Speaker A: But I miss you.
[00:09:19] Speaker B: Well, what we watch. You can't watch Netflix then, can we? No, because you told me you wanted me to write a bloody jingle, which I love doing. Thank you for the encouragement.
[00:09:27] Speaker A: So, in terms of the spring clean of your mind, which one likes to do every so often, usually around this time of year, Jen and I were like, let's clear out our mind and also clear out the house. So what do you do as part of the house cleaning process? The first time I've ever done it in my life. What was it?
[00:09:49] Speaker B: Let's be honest.
[00:09:51] Speaker A: All right. You ordered a skip. And of course, being old like Ebenezer Scroogey, she was like, right, we're getting the smallest skip.
[00:09:59] Speaker B: It wasn't because I'm Scrooge, it's because we didn't need a bigger one. And we haven't even filled it.
[00:10:05] Speaker A: And I'll tell you why we haven't filled it. Because there's an etiquette about skips that I was blissfully unaware of, which means when you fill it and then go to sleep that night, the skip fairies come along in the middle of the night and empty half of it for you. So I've got the old ring doorbell, and I'm checking it, and about 04:00 in the morning, there's a little truck that pulls up and like this man in a cap looking through the skip.
[00:10:31] Speaker B: They do, they do.
[00:10:32] Speaker A: Trying to find metal and stuff like.
[00:10:34] Speaker B: That or anything useful, because people throw away all kinds of useful stuff. They did.
[00:10:38] Speaker A: But we had some right old crap in there. But they were like, of course I'm going to have that, like bricks, things like that.
[00:10:46] Speaker B: I don't mind that at all. But it's worth when people go, oh, I'm going to pop my sink in there. So they actually add to your clutter.
[00:10:54] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:54] Speaker B: That's really cheeky.
[00:10:55] Speaker A: That is very cheeky.
[00:10:56] Speaker B: They go, especially when you can catch that on the ring camera as well.
[00:11:00] Speaker A: Anyway, so the skip was meant to be picked up last Friday. No, they've just. This is the new etiquette I'm learning as well, that they have a very flexible timetable in terms of, oh, yeah, we'll pick it up next week, or we might not.
[00:11:15] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:15] Speaker A: So at the moment, we're into, deep into week three now and I must skip. Still there.
[00:11:20] Speaker B: I must have asked them three times now on an email, do you recycle?
[00:11:25] Speaker A: There's no urgency. I don't know about where you live, but our bin or trash can, depending on where you're living in the world, is not really that big for recycling, which is ridiculous, because in this day and age, you should have as much space as you possibly can.
[00:11:43] Speaker B: It should be the priority, shouldn't it? Well, look, as much fun as this has been, I think we should skip forward now.
[00:11:49] Speaker A: That's very good.
Who is it? Our good friend Laura was talking about the end of the moon cycle at the moment. Yes. I don't know whether any of you have noticed, but January was tough.
[00:12:04] Speaker B: What I found difficult in January was getting going. Yeah, there was no, like, I kept thinking, well, work's not going to fall into my lap. But at the same time, I just couldn't get myself motivated. But I definitely feel like we've been motivated. Yes. Like first of Feb, I was on it, and today we're doing the podcast and we're back in gear.
[00:12:24] Speaker A: Yeah, the sky is blue once again. And then. Don't know whether I've mentioned this, I've got training at 09:00 a.m. Every day.
[00:12:32] Speaker B: Well, in preparation for whatever your next role is going to be.
[00:12:35] Speaker A: No, I'm excited.
[00:12:37] Speaker B: We're excited. We've been doing a lot of auditions because the strike's over.
[00:12:41] Speaker A: Thank God the strike's over.
[00:12:44] Speaker B: Now, has anything ground your gears recently?
[00:12:47] Speaker A: Yeah, loads of things. But I have a feeling that you've got one. Do you want to go first?
[00:12:51] Speaker B: Let's do it.
[00:12:52] Speaker A: Roll the jangle.
[00:12:53] Speaker B: What?
[00:12:54] Speaker A: I don't know why I said it like that.
[00:12:56] Speaker B: Roll the jingle.
[00:12:58] Speaker A: Tell me what's grinding your gears, mate.
[00:13:01] Speaker B: Tell me what's grinding your gears. Tell me what's grinding your gears, mate. All right, tell us what's grinding your gears.
[00:13:11] Speaker A: Go for it. Jenster. What you got?
[00:13:14] Speaker B: Anyone who has a crash on the motorway.
[00:13:17] Speaker A: Right, okay. Where are you going with this?
[00:13:19] Speaker B: Anyone? Okay, stop having a crash on the motorway.
[00:13:22] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:23] Speaker B: Now, a crash on an a road, bit more understandable, like thinner roads, trickier to manage blind spots.
Yeah, Ben, unfortunate, really. Hope everybody's okay. If you crash on a motorway, you're a right. Okay, because stop it. Like keep a safe distance behind the car in front of you. Don't drive in the middle lane, and if you're in the outside lane, overtake, and then pull back in again and everybody's happy. Then stop swerving in and out undertaking and all the rest of it.
[00:13:55] Speaker A: Unfortunately, everyone is so desperate to get to where they want to get to.
[00:14:00] Speaker B: But it's so easy to drive in a straight line, Chris.
[00:14:02] Speaker A: It is, I know.
[00:14:03] Speaker B: Why are you crashing? And every time I get on the m six or the m one, somebody's got to crash. And you know why? Because some in an overpowered car or has decided to take a risk. Yeah, exactly.
[00:14:15] Speaker A: Flexing too much. Yeah. I mean the freeways in Los Angeles, I've spoken about this before. Absolutely mental. Mental. And I always stayed in the slow lane for many reasons.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: Oh, I thought we stayed in the slow lane. You wouldn't risk it, would you?
[00:14:29] Speaker A: Stuff. I'm like, come on, get your braking distance. It's not worth the risk. But it makes you frustrated, does it?
[00:14:37] Speaker B: Well, it does because both times I went down to London to work before Christmas, both times I get on the m six or the m one, and oh, you're always all the brake lights and you're like, you've just ruined thousands of people's day. Everyone's going to be like an hour and a half later to wherever they need to be. And I'm sorry that you've had a crash, but it's been caused by you.
[00:15:01] Speaker A: Obviously we're hoping that everyone is okay in these crashes, but have you noticed that when people have a crash, they quite often beep? You hear the.
Like that.
If you've got time to think about. I'm going to beep. You've got time to slow down, right?
[00:15:19] Speaker B: Well, no, I think they're too close, then, aren't they too close to. You should have enough stopping distance so that you don't have to be involved in a crash. If a car has to crashes in front of you, you shouldn't be going into the back of them.
[00:15:29] Speaker A: I've started doing this thing where I literally pull over and I do, like, a mime of clapping as they go past, like, affording them for their shit driving.
[00:15:40] Speaker B: Oh, and the other one is superglue.
[00:15:43] Speaker A: Just superglue in general.
[00:15:45] Speaker B: Well, no, I love superglue. I love the fact that it fixes so many things. It's brilliant. But you can only use it once you open it. It's brilliant. You use it, you put the cap back on and the next time you need it, you can't get into it.
[00:15:57] Speaker A: Yeah, it's totally.
[00:15:58] Speaker B: And then you try and open it with your teeth and then it squirts on your lip and your finger stuck to your lip for a bit.
[00:16:04] Speaker A: That might just be you, but just be me. Also, the same rule, the same superglue rule applies with sealant.
[00:16:11] Speaker B: Yes, it does.
[00:16:13] Speaker A: No more nails.
[00:16:14] Speaker B: Exactly.
[00:16:15] Speaker A: Other adhesives are available.
[00:16:17] Speaker B: Open it and you go, is this going to be not dry?
[00:16:20] Speaker A: And it's always dry poly filler in.
[00:16:22] Speaker B: A tube, always dried out? Always, absolutely.
[00:16:25] Speaker A: And you go to it and you're like, oh, I think I've got some of that. No, I haven't. It's an absolute brick of rock solid.
[00:16:33] Speaker B: There when you need it.
[00:16:33] Speaker A: It's a one use thing. I totally agree with that. I like that very much.
[00:16:37] Speaker B: Tell us what's finding your gear.
[00:16:42] Speaker A: So I went to the car wash the other day. Not just any car wash, a brand new car wash that's just opened at the side of the supermarket.
[00:16:50] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:16:51] Speaker A: You're like, oh, I want to give these people business.
Let's go. I went in, drove in, came up to the door. It looks like a drug deal. What you want today? I'm like, a car wash, please, mate. And he'll go, he'll look the car up and down. He'll go, 30. I'll go, all right, 30. Well, I did. I mean, in hindsight, I should have bartered, but it was my first time.
[00:17:16] Speaker B: Respray it.
[00:17:18] Speaker A: No, it cleaned the car in and out. And the part of the deal is that they clean your car whilst you go shopping.
[00:17:25] Speaker B: Well, I know that, everyone knows that.
[00:17:27] Speaker A: All right, well, I felt a bit. Little bit awkward, a little bit uncomfortable having to give my key away. I did that very sensible thing of taking the car key off so they don't have the house key.
[00:17:40] Speaker B: It's genius.
[00:17:41] Speaker A: That's absolute genius.
[00:17:42] Speaker B: Well done.
[00:17:42] Speaker A: They can't, like, copy it.
[00:17:45] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:45] Speaker A: So I'm being very careful and I'm going, is it right to pay card? And he said, I prefer cash. And I went, I will get you cash.
[00:17:52] Speaker B: That's nice.
[00:17:53] Speaker A: I said, how long?
[00:17:53] Speaker B: Did you say, will you take 20 if I pay you cash?
[00:17:56] Speaker A: I didn't. That's why I need you there for Ebenezer Scrooge moment.
[00:18:00] Speaker B: You got to barter these things.
[00:18:02] Speaker A: Got barter, got. Get everything for free.
[00:18:04] Speaker B: That is not how I am at all. I'm incredibly generous.
[00:18:08] Speaker A: Tiny bit like that.
I went shopping and I said to him just before, how long do you need to do the car? And he went, 30 minutes. And I'm brilliant. Brilliant. This is great.
[00:18:21] Speaker B: Pound a minute.
[00:18:22] Speaker A: Here's a pound a minute. If you were a professional car cleaner, you'd want a pound a minute.
[00:18:26] Speaker B: Right, fair enough. All right. I agree.
[00:18:28] Speaker A: So I came back exactly 30 minutes later with my 30 cash and car was all done. Absolutely brilliant. And I had a little look round it and I was like, oh, he's polished it and all that sort of jazz.
[00:18:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:18:40] Speaker A: Proper car wash and dried and hoovered inside and everything. I was like, oh, it looks like a brand new car. Here's the 30 pounds. Thank you so much. And he went, I'll be with you in a second. I just need to deal with this customer.
This is where the story begins. Oh, so. Well, not begins. It's like the middle of it. There's this guy. He's disgruntled.
[00:19:02] Speaker B: Disgruntled.
[00:19:04] Speaker A: It's grunt, isn't it?
[00:19:05] Speaker B: Yeah, he's.
Oh, he was really disgruntled.
[00:19:12] Speaker A: Maybe that's a new word.
[00:19:13] Speaker B: I like it.
[00:19:14] Speaker A: What was the one you came up with? Cupboardy. What was it?
[00:19:20] Speaker B: Hibernati. Hibernati, was it Hibernati?
[00:19:23] Speaker A: Brilliant.
[00:19:24] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:19:25] Speaker A: And the guy was not happy. Disgruntled.com. Okay. And so, obviously, being a bit of a prying british person, I thought I'd stand a little bit close by to hear what the story was.
[00:19:38] Speaker B: Nice.
[00:19:39] Speaker A: So the story transpired that this guy had also paid 30 pounds, but he'd been waiting an hour and they had not finished.
[00:19:50] Speaker B: Oh, dear.
[00:19:50] Speaker A: His car. And he said, I have to go. He said, I have to go. Listen, take the money, but I have to go now. But the guy, super proud eastern european bloke, and he said, no, I must finish. I must finish. And the guy's like, I appreciate that you love your job and everything, car wash man, but I have to leave now. I have to go and pick my kids up from school. But he said, no. He said, give me my car keys. And the guy's like, no, not until it's finished.
[00:20:23] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:20:24] Speaker A: It was so intense. And the guy's like, he wasn't getting physical, but he was getting very angry. So the guy, he wasn't that big. He didn't want to fight. No one wanted a fight. So what did he do? Called the police.
[00:20:37] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:20:39] Speaker A: Called the police.
[00:20:39] Speaker B: How could it?
[00:20:41] Speaker A: I'm standing there and I was waving at the guy going, can I just have my key? Can I just have my key? But it was like, super.
[00:20:47] Speaker B: But your car was ready.
[00:20:48] Speaker A: My car was ready. 30 quid. 30 minutes done. This guy, 30 quid hour. Oh, not good.
[00:20:55] Speaker B: Not good.
[00:20:56] Speaker A: So two minutes later, police arrive.
They actually came and I thought you'd be like solving proper crimes and stuff like that, but they sent an on duty police van to come and have a word and the guy still wouldn't hand the keys over while he was polishing the windows. He said, if you don't give the keys over, I'm going to have to shut down your business for the day. And the guy goes, nearly done, nearly done, nearly done. Sir, you have to give this customer his keys. And he went and done.
And then he gave the keys back.
[00:21:34] Speaker B: And you were just standing there ogling all this. You didn't leave.
[00:21:38] Speaker A: The only intention of this car wash dude was to finish the job properly despite me waiting, the other guy having to go and pick his kids up, and the presence of the police.
[00:21:50] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:21:51] Speaker A: I was just, was. This is a story for the pod. So I've just told you.
[00:21:57] Speaker B: Well, I'd like to say thank you to Nicole Dimond. I think that's how you say it.
[00:22:02] Speaker A: Or diamond.
[00:22:03] Speaker B: Or diamond. She has been so wonderful over the last couple of weeks. She's just been so supportive and sent us so many lovely emails and really helped us along the way with the podcast. So we just want to say thank you so much, Nicole.
[00:22:17] Speaker A: And she's a very, very talented artist.
[00:22:19] Speaker B: She is.
[00:22:20] Speaker A: So you should check her out on instagram.
[00:22:21] Speaker B: But I mean, all of you, we'll tag you Nicole.
[00:22:24] Speaker A: Yes, we will. All of you that get in touch because as you know, not harping on about this, but we do this for free.
[00:22:30] Speaker B: We do.
[00:22:31] Speaker A: We do. And we do it because we love it. And actually we came back because it's.
[00:22:36] Speaker B: Not that we'd given it up it was just that so many people have said to us over the last few weeks, oh, where's the podcast gone? That we were like, oh, we just need to get our mojo back, don't we?
[00:22:47] Speaker A: I'll tell you why. Because it's exciting.
[00:22:49] Speaker B: What Chris is trying to say is, thank you so much for supporting us and constantly giving us feedback and letting us know how much you enjoy it.
[00:22:56] Speaker A: Because if you enjoy it, we'll keep doing it.
[00:22:58] Speaker B: Yes, we will. Oh, we haven't mentioned the fact that we've actually had some merch made.
[00:23:03] Speaker A: Oh, we had some merch made.
Shall I model the merch and we do a picture?
[00:23:09] Speaker B: Yes. All right, but we're going to model the merch. But we haven't actually got it so that I can supply it to people. So if people then start going, can I have that?
[00:23:15] Speaker A: It's a prototype. So if people like the merch, then they can buy the merch. Basically it's a. Yeah, but I haven't.
[00:23:21] Speaker B: Got a website where they can buy the merch.
[00:23:23] Speaker A: All right, we figure that out, can't we? But basically it's a really comfortable black hoodie with roll the jingle on the front and then on the back there is Ilyb.
[00:23:35] Speaker B: So, yeah, let's see what your feedback is. Let us know. We've also got some mugs as well that we have made.
[00:23:39] Speaker A: Well, we have made, I mean, kind of white lying your way through this.
[00:23:44] Speaker B: Why white lying?
[00:23:46] Speaker A: Well, it was my Christmas present, wasn't it?
[00:23:48] Speaker B: Yeah, but I made them.
[00:23:49] Speaker A: Well, you didn't make them, did you?
[00:23:51] Speaker B: What do you mean? I had them made. What are the other people do with merch? They forge them themselves from a bloody turntable.
[00:23:58] Speaker A: That's what I want.
[00:23:59] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, you want me to make it in the old soldering iron.
[00:24:03] Speaker A: Like a scene from ghost.
[00:24:04] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:05] Speaker A: You making all these cups, it's not.
[00:24:07] Speaker B: Good enough for you that I had I love you butt mug made and gave it to you for Christmas.
[00:24:12] Speaker A: I love my I love you.
[00:24:14] Speaker B: Actually, you have absolutely no idea that I've got four in the drawer. Yeah.
Sitting there waiting for people to ask for them.
[00:24:23] Speaker A: So maybe we should do a competition where someone can win an I love you but mug.
[00:24:28] Speaker B: Brilliant. What competition?
[00:24:31] Speaker A: Right, how about.
[00:24:35] Speaker B: We need to think this one through a bit more.
[00:24:47] Speaker A: We're really excited because we now have some merch. I'm going to think about this and next week I'll announce how you can win it.
[00:24:57] Speaker B: I can hear the brain.
[00:24:58] Speaker A: We'll kicking out mail it anywhere in the world.
So Freddie has just told us that they're doing a production of Oliver for his end of year school production, and the boy's only been cast as the bloody artful Dodger.
[00:25:19] Speaker B: Consider yourself at home.
[00:25:22] Speaker A: But of course, he doesn't want anything to do with us helping him. He has a singer and an actor on hand to help him with this, to help him with this role and with these songs. But no, according to him, it's cringe.
[00:25:39] Speaker B: Cringe, mate. So I was like, fred, you've got the dream team here. You've got somebody who can teach you a cockney accent and somebody who can help you with the singing. And he's like, it's clear we're going.
[00:25:53] Speaker A: To get along, but he doesn't want anything to do with it. So we're going to have to use our podcast as a bit of an outlet.
[00:26:01] Speaker B: If there's a chance to be Lady Darapity, there's a cup of tea for all.
How do you say it all in a Cockney accent?
[00:26:09] Speaker A: Oh, see, I think this is why Freddie finds it quite cringe. So we'll just keep doing this on the show. It's great to be back, team. Have a fantastic week, wherever you are and whatever you're doing.
[00:26:22] Speaker B: We love you guys.
[00:26:23] Speaker A: We love you.
Oh, it's good to be back, is it? Oh, it's wonderful, isn't it? It's nice to just have a little outlet.
[00:26:34] Speaker B: It is. It's been really nice. You have dribbled a lot, but dribbled. Dribbled on. Dribble.
[00:26:40] Speaker A: That's what dribbled.
[00:26:42] Speaker B: No. Well, yes. Saliva comes out of your mouth at the same time.
Dribbled on.
[00:26:47] Speaker A: So I'm dribling and dribbling everywhere.
[00:26:49] Speaker B: You're dribling on, you dribble on. Your stories are so long, I have to edit them all. But we get there in the end, don't we, folks? We'll see you next week. Bye.
