we be real topical Tuesday, Bagsie?

1:52

You know what, you just pointed out to me that

1:54

I have a very gay taste in music. Well,

1:56

because when we got on the Zoom, you were

1:58

singing Annie Lennoxes. What is that song?

2:01

I don't even know which one it

2:03

is, but I recognize it's Annie Lennox.

2:05

I recognize it's from that album, that

2:07

huge album. But I mean, that's very

2:09

old. That's a 30-year-old album. You know

2:11

what? It was on Smooth Their Fam this

2:13

morning. You know, and so you know when you

2:15

get that earworm in your head and you were...

2:17

I was just trying to get my headphones sorted

2:19

out and I started singing to you while I

2:21

was doing it while I was doing it. You

2:24

did. If I was ever given the opportunity to

2:26

be on the stage with like me and like

2:28

maybe another guy and a bigger lady and a

2:30

thinner lady, right? Andrea Bachelli, would he be the

2:32

guy? Ideally? Well, let's just anybody. Well, let's say,

2:34

well, let's say, well, let's say, I mean, I

2:36

know, because it's out the front, but I want

2:39

to be one of those four people standing in

2:41

front of the microphones

2:44

just

2:46

doing

2:48

the

2:50

bibb-dib-dib-dib-dib-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim

2:52

gorgeous guy from England in fact he came

2:54

out and did some gigs in Australia and

2:56

that's his he and his sister do this

2:58

routine just obviously they've been doing their whole

3:01

lives in the lounge room where they they

3:03

choreograph being the backup singer and it's so

3:05

hilarious they always have a moment where they

3:07

look at each other and nod it's so

3:10

cute so yeah maybe this could be

3:12

a part of our live show you

3:14

could be the lead singer out the

3:16

front okay we could get four microphones

3:19

up onto the stage get some audience

3:21

participation into the show right and then

3:23

the four of us could stand behind

3:25

you doing the bib-b-b-b-b-b-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim-dim- a sneaky way

3:27

of making a dream come true to me.

3:30

And why not? Alright, Brisbane, it's on. Oh

3:32

mate, I mean... I think we could pick

3:34

a better song for backup. We'll find,

3:37

I'll find one that's got like

3:39

really solid backup moments. You know,

3:41

backup, yeah. I wouldn't mind holding

3:43

a triangle or something like that

3:46

as well or a tambourine. Tambourine,

3:48

let's go tambourine, let's not fuck around.

3:50

I hope I love it. Let's do

3:53

it. Brisbane, you're on notice. We're going

3:55

to need three audience members to fulfill

3:57

bags as fantasy of being a backup.

4:00

singer this is exciting and you can

4:02

sing as well so this is I mean

4:04

yeah where this can go I'm not going

4:06

to really sing I'll just do a lip

4:08

sink out the front well just pick a

4:10

good song I'll lip sink and then you

4:12

because that's a fantasy of mine obviously whenever

4:14

I get the opportunity I like to do

4:16

that pretend I'm a drag queen and then

4:18

you and the three your other backup singer

4:20

mates can go at it pay to

4:23

see us live our dreams Maybe, hey

4:25

listen, there might be people listening going,

4:27

I wasn't going to go to this,

4:29

but now if there's a chance, if

4:31

I could be a backup singer, I

4:33

am going. What about, have you ever

4:36

seen the documentary, what's it called, something,

4:38

so many feet from fame, it's called,

4:40

20 feet from stardom, and it is

4:42

a documentary about backup singers. You will

4:44

love it. They're like, oh yeah,

4:46

you know, I was backup singer

4:48

for the Rolling Stones for 20

4:50

years. I was backup singer for

4:52

Tina Turner. You know, these people

4:55

have stood behind the biggest. Now

4:57

that's a really, it must

4:59

be exciting to be the backup singer.

5:01

But then there also must be a

5:03

part of you in your life. If

5:06

you're at that level where you can

5:08

be on a stage with Tina Turner

5:10

or someone like that, you must have

5:13

been thinking, geez, I would have

5:15

loved to have been Tina Turner, but

5:17

I'm not good enough. It's an old

5:19

back end. Maybe you think it's a

5:22

stepping stone, you know? Maybe like, yeah,

5:24

okay. Is there a story where a

5:26

backup singer has ever become like

5:28

the thing? I know there are more. Okay, so it

5:31

is a pathway. It's definitely a pathway to get

5:33

yourself out the front. Interesting. Can be. But on this

5:35

documentary, 20 feet from start, it's not been. These are all

5:37

people going, and then I tried to have my own album

5:39

and then I tried to do this. So yeah, remember John

5:41

Farnham's backup singers, like he made them superstars because he was

5:43

like really included them in the gig and we knew their

5:46

names and it was, yeah, it was huge. It's a bit

5:48

6:28

what I did watch over the weekend, and

6:30

I know I'm late to the party on

6:32

this everybody but adolescence I know right

6:35

all shot in the one take I mean

6:37

for so many reasons it's mind-blowing and when

6:39

I watched it the second time I really

6:41

watched it just to watch that just to

6:43

like go how? Did they get that camera

6:45

through the window of the shed? Follow him

6:47

all the way up the backyard through the

6:49

house and out to his van and then

6:51

mounted on the front of the van? Okay,

6:53

well you are a showbiz person so you do

6:56

know this stuff in some way. How would, because

6:58

I was thinking the exact same thing. There was

7:00

one shot that came out of the house and

7:02

then went up the street and I thought, I

7:04

know. So was that a drone that was inside

7:06

the house? Yeah, what about that shot that comes

7:09

out of the high school that comes out of

7:11

the high school? all around the whole halls of

7:13

the high school and then without a cut suddenly

7:15

it becomes a drone shot it flies up over

7:18

the houses and and has a look at the

7:20

dad doing something like fuck I want to see

7:22

a documentary about the making of that series

7:24

I agree I mean can we be

7:26

real is now talking cinematography I mean

7:28

where can we go next oh my

7:30

god we've already talked about backup dancing

7:32

now around a cinematography now we're on a

7:35

cinematography I mean we're a broad church as

7:37

we've said before we're a big tent.

7:39

What were your opinions of the

7:41

show? What did you, I mean

7:43

obviously the cinematography fantastically loved that

7:45

but what about the actual content I

7:47

mean fuck me loved it and it

7:49

had just been added to the British

7:52

schools syllabus British high schools now have

7:54

this as part of their viewing you

7:56

know program that they want kids kids

7:58

to watch it but Donna. Don Dons told

8:00

me a really interesting piece of information. We're

8:02

having lunch. We're talking about this show. And

8:05

I said to her, do you know what

8:07

I like about it? I like that the,

8:09

and we're not blowing anything for you if

8:11

you haven't seen it, this happens in the

8:13

first few minutes. Well, hang on, just

8:15

stop this episode. If you need to

8:17

do any spoiler alerts, just stop this

8:19

episode, go watch it, but then come

8:21

back to this episode. The boy who

8:24

is accused of committing a violent act

8:26

against another kid comes from a lovely

8:28

home. He comes from a beautiful family,

8:30

and in fact his dad is particularly...

8:33

gentle, committed to fatherhood, all of those

8:35

things. Just a working class guy, I

8:37

think he's a plumber, but he's, they're

8:40

just very normal. Anyway, so I'm telling

8:42

this to Donna, I really like

8:44

that. She says, well, interesting, you

8:46

should say that. She said, she

8:48

was watching, or listening to a

8:50

podcast maybe, of this British detective

8:52

who'd been a detective forever, and

8:54

he said, he found that very

8:56

unrealistic. He said, look, I get

8:59

it. I know it's not the

9:01

parents fault. there's a lot of

9:03

other influences going on and he

9:05

said I'm not denying that I'm

9:07

not denying that our kids these

9:09

days are subject to so many

9:11

outside influences but he said I've

9:13

got to be honest in my

9:15

entire career I have never known

9:17

of a young person from a

9:19

happy stable home to commit an act

9:21

like this now take that for what it

9:23

is but I said to Donna I mean

9:26

I don't like to discount experts

9:28

opinions I'm not that guy if

9:30

an expert who is in the field says,

9:32

yeah, no, it doesn't really happen

9:34

like that, then I have to go,

9:36

okay, I'll respect your experience. So

9:38

now I'm sort of a bit twixt

9:40

in between. I'm a bit like,

9:42

okay, maybe it's... It could have been

9:45

an uncle or... Absolutely, I mean, but I

9:47

think the point of the show is that

9:49

in so many ways... Parents can be

9:51

good people and kids can fuck up.

9:53

Well, I think it's also about how

9:55

many influences that are young people

9:58

these days days days through... social

10:00

media and it's talking specifically about Andrew

10:02

Tate and about these groups online of

10:04

what do they call them men truth

10:06

or something like that that are all

10:08

about instructing young men that women are

10:11

just fundamentally untrustworthy women are kind of

10:13

like you have to play games with

10:15

us we try to strategize women and

10:17

Yeah, horrible, all these horrible influences. So

10:19

it's basically about that. You've got a

10:21

son in his teens. When I was

10:23

watching this, I was thinking of you,

10:26

and I was thinking, this is confronting

10:28

for any parent with a teenager right

10:30

now. This could be so confronting to

10:32

watch. How did you? feel when you're

10:34

watching it. Have you watched it with

10:36

Louis? Have you like what? No, I

10:39

told them I want to watch it

10:41

with them and they're like, oh God,

10:43

can we not? But anyway, I still

10:45

am trying to make that happen. They

10:47

said, well, we've seen heaps of it

10:49

on TikTok and I'm like, no, it's

10:51

not the same. You have to watch

10:54

it. What it really, the other point

10:56

it made to me was that kids

10:58

are kids are kids. And they and

11:00

they're living in a very adult world.

11:02

Nobody knows who's who online, right? So

11:04

kids can do crazy shit and not

11:06

really understand what they're doing the implications

11:09

of it. You know, a lot of

11:11

it is about that, isn't it? It's

11:13

about trying to figure out if this

11:15

child understands what he's done. You know

11:17

what though? That's nothing, I mean, this

11:19

is murder, I think this is very

11:22

different, but I remember being a teenager

11:24

and I remember throwing water bombs at

11:26

cars driving past. No, that's my point,

11:28

absolutely. Yeah. When we're teenagers, we're all

11:30

fucking idiots and I don't think that's

11:32

a social media thing, right? This influence

11:34

on... young boys is particularly devastating because

11:37

young boys are famously and this is

11:39

again scientific fact reckless young boys young

11:41

men even they say a man's brain

11:43

doesn't stop developing until he's 26. So,

11:45

young men, exactly, young boys and young

11:47

men are notoriously sort of disinterested in

11:49

consequences or they don't understand consequences, they

11:52

don't think things through that far, they

11:54

don't understand danger, like that's why we

11:56

send him to war, honestly. Older people

11:58

just wouldn't fucking do it. But, so

12:00

it's about that as well. And that

12:02

made me think about that. It made

12:05

me think about. God yeah kids can

12:07

make really massive life-changing mistakes without understanding

12:09

it for a really long time afterwards

12:11

you know it also then buys into

12:13

the idea that around the world they're

12:15

talking about whether you should try a

12:17

10 year old as an adult if

12:20

they commit a crime and it's like

12:22

well hang on his brain he's not

12:24

developed he can't have possibly understood the

12:26

implications so it's a brilliant show. is

12:28

what I'm going to say, isn't it?

12:30

It's so good. Yeah, I loved it.

12:32

Yeah, we spent the, we didn't watch

12:35

twice like you have, but yeah, we

12:37

really enjoyed watching that one. I just

12:39

try and get on to these kids

12:41

before the end of the holidays and

12:43

make them watch it with me. I'll

12:45

bribe them. I'll offer them cash. That's

12:47

the only thing that works. Well, that's

12:50

why I asked you that question about,

12:52

you know, how you felt, because I

12:54

feel anxiety after. So it's like a

12:56

Netflix show doesn't get that one. It's

12:58

always there. It's always in the background.

13:00

What do you mean deep anxiety? Let's

13:03

talk about that. What do you mean?

13:05

Is that what it's like to have

13:07

teenagers? You're just living in deep anxiety?

13:09

And what are the fears you have?

13:11

Are they fearful of these things happening?

13:13

No, I think I'm constantly... anxious, I

13:15

wouldn't say fearful, but I'm wondering what's

13:18

really going on with them all the

13:20

time. Like, okay, what's really going on

13:22

here? What's really, you know, and again,

13:24

this talks about their secret lives at

13:26

school, you know, you realize when they're

13:28

very little, when you first go to

13:30

meet their teachers, when they're in like

13:33

prep and grade one, you realize... This

13:35

little fuck is a completely different person

13:37

here, isn't he? This is interesting. Okay,

13:39

tell me more. You know, I mean,

13:41

I remember taking them to daycare and

13:43

picking them up and they'd go, oh,

13:46

Louis, okay, Louis ate really well at

13:48

lunch time, he ate a chicken wrap

13:50

and he ate some grapes. I was

13:52

like, are you joking? He would not

13:54

fucking eat a chicken wrap at home

13:56

for me if my life depended on

13:58

it. So you realize, okay. They're different

14:01

people when they're not at home. But

14:03

isn't it to do with a comfort

14:05

zone as well? Like, I mean, they

14:07

can say no to you, but if

14:09

someone offers them a chicken wrap at

14:11

school and everyone else is doing it,

14:13

isn't there that whole peer pressure thing

14:16

where they just go, okay, I'll do

14:18

this because they don't want to look

14:20

like a dickhead here at school. Well,

14:22

exactly, right? Is that you start to

14:24

realize that the older they get, the

14:26

further they move from your influence. you

14:29

know, embarrassed to admit it. They can

14:31

now be living this fake, or this

14:33

not fake, but different life in your

14:35

own home. You don't even know who

14:37

they're communicating with or whatever, who they're

14:39

playing a game with. So that makes

14:41

me anxious. And again, that's what this

14:44

shows about, isn't it? It's about these

14:46

parents going, no, this is ridiculous. This

14:48

is not our son. But they don't

14:50

realize he's living a completely different fucking

14:52

life outside the house. You know I

14:54

was on the bus the other day

14:56

and I love people watching and I

14:59

love actually I'm forcing myself to get

15:01

out of my phone at the moment.

15:03

I mean I'm in this kind of

15:05

little moment where I'm like okay I'm

15:07

not going to take my phone on

15:09

the walk with Yulia or I'm not

15:12

going to go to the cafe with

15:14

the phone I'm going to leave it

15:16

home and I'll come back and get

15:18

it when I get home. I was

15:20

on the air I'm actually really forcing

15:22

myself to do this at the moment.

15:24

just to give my mind even a

15:27

two-hour window away from the phone because

15:29

I realize that you know when I

15:31

look at that chart where it shows

15:33

you your viewing time I'm like holy

15:35

fucking Jesus Christ and I realize sometimes

15:37

I've just been scrolling for hours at

15:39

nothing yeah exactly doom scrolling well I

15:42

was on the bus and I was

15:44

looking around at the people that were

15:46

on the bus I was in that

15:48

it was in the backwards seat it

15:50

was really random you know you to

15:52

see that the front be can go

15:55

backwards the entire time. Oh, facing everyone.

15:57

Facing everyone with no phone. I was

15:59

thinking, fuck, this is a bit weird,

16:01

anyway. But that's intimidating to everyone else,

16:03

but go on. But I'm watching, and

16:05

I'm looking at the younger generation, and

16:07

they're all talking to each other. And

16:10

I noticed my generation, I'd say 30,

16:12

30 through to 50, right? They were

16:14

all on their phones head down. The

16:16

young kids that were getting on the

16:18

school, like a mixture of like... office

16:20

and school and whatever was going on,

16:22

all of the school kids, all in

16:25

bundles, talking to each other, having conversations,

16:27

not in their phones, and I thought,

16:29

that is interesting to me. It's almost

16:31

like they're rebelling against... Oh, but also

16:33

they're friends there. They've got their friends

16:35

there. If I was sitting on the

16:38

bus next year, you would have your

16:40

phone. I would, but you would insist

16:42

on talking to me. Well, if we're

16:44

flying to Brisbane on the flight, what's

16:46

going to happen? You're gonna chat to

16:48

me the whole fucking way mate. So

16:50

what I'm- I'm actually thinking. Because I

16:53

know you're in Melbourne, I'm thinking of

16:55

getting you to do a two-part of

16:57

flight, so that I can fly into

16:59

Sydney, and then I'll, yeah, two-legged, and

17:01

I'll fly with you to Brisbane, just

17:03

so I can sit next to and

17:05

chat for an hour. That'd be amazing.

17:08

I'll bring you a book. We've discussed

17:10

this, you got a book, basically. Don't

17:12

bring me a bloody book. I want

17:14

to chat, it's our one-on-one time. We'll

17:16

just meet you there. In fact I'll

17:18

meet you with the gig. Okay, you

17:21

go ahead. Why am I always begging

17:23

for this friendship and you're just repelling

17:25

me? That's not true. I am not

17:27

repelling your friendship. I'm just repelling some.

17:29

Everyone can hear me begging to be

17:31

friends. Just beg. Be friends with me.

17:33

I'm not that fucking donkey out of

17:36

Shrek. We are friends, but I just

17:38

like a quiet flight mate. That's all

17:40

there is to it. I'd just like

17:42

to be with my own thoughts. It's

17:44

my own book. Yeah, that's all. On

17:46

a flight. This is incredible. The timing

17:48

of this, you would not believe. It's

17:51

Easter, right? Guess what's happening. Now, not

17:53

only, yeah, yeah, yeah, but I'm talking

17:55

chocolate. Not only are we facing a

17:57

bloody cost of living crisis, there's only

17:59

a mold crisis in Africa where all

18:01

the coca beans are, is that what

18:04

they, I can't remember if coca beans

18:06

make chocolate or cocaine. The cacao crops

18:08

are fucked because there is a mold

18:10

or some kind of like fungal outbreak

18:12

So that is also pushing up chocolate

18:14

prices. Can you believe this is happening

18:16

now? No, they just make you up

18:19

excuses No, no, it's real. I'm sure

18:21

some blokes gone and had a look

18:23

and gone. Yeah, right you do have

18:25

fungus. You're not just lying to charge

18:27

more for chocolate I just feel like

18:29

can we catch a break like Jesus

18:31

Christ? Now chocolate, I mean, did you

18:34

see that viral photo of the big

18:36

lint bunny that was $120? Oh, well,

18:38

who's buying that? Oh, an idiot. I

18:40

don't know who, how a billionaire, I

18:42

don't know Jeff Basos, who's buying that?

18:44

I don't know, but... As if we

18:47

haven't got enough on our plates. Yeah,

18:49

keep chocolate cheap guys. Keep chocolate. I

18:51

mean, or just stick with the cat

18:53

breeze, mate. Catberries will be fine. No,

18:55

it's all chocolate. This is what they're

18:57

saying. This is our Tim Tam crisis.

18:59

Apparently is a combination of the cost

19:02

of living crisis and the bloody fungus

19:04

on the chocolate trees. You need to

19:06

get to my BP, because at my

19:08

BP, which is a petrol station in

19:10

Australia, every time I go to get

19:12

a block of hazelnut. chocolate from cowberries.

19:14

They always get me with homemade if

19:17

you get two of these. It's two

19:19

for fucking eight bucks and I think

19:21

well it's fucking seven whatever it is

19:23

for one. They never get me with

19:25

that. Oh, they always get me. I

19:27

always go. You know what? That is

19:30

a bloody bargain. I'll eat both of

19:32

them. Oh God. No, I can't. And

19:34

so what I do, because Yulia would

19:36

kill me if I came home with

19:38

two blocks of chocolate, usually she sends

19:40

me up to the BP when she's

19:42

like, it's movie night, go get movie

19:45

night, go get chocolate. Okay, okay. So

19:47

it's my little task to go and

19:49

walk. Now what I'll do, because if

19:51

I came back with two blocks on

19:53

the way back. and they're coming with

19:55

one block just so that I get,

19:57

because also when we, she divvies it

20:00

up. Of course she does, how many

20:02

squares you get equal number of squares?

20:04

She halves it mate perfectly. Because she'll

20:06

finish them, I like to like, you

20:08

know, save a bit for it. Yeah,

20:10

because you've already eaten a whole block

20:13

on the walk home, so no wonder

20:15

you. Well she starts picking mine, so

20:17

yeah, I know, so that's why I

20:19

do it. This is an outrage. Are

20:21

you not secret eating around the kids?

20:23

Yeah, no, I think I used to,

20:25

but I know I've mentioned this before,

20:28

that hiding chocolate in a tampon box

20:30

or in a large sort of box

20:32

like that in the bathroom is a

20:34

great way to save it. Because they

20:36

just they're just locusts. Like they just

20:38

rip through anything you bring into the

20:40

house in five seconds. You can't leave

20:43

anything. Well it sounds like, yeah, it

20:45

sounds like you're going to have to

20:47

start hiding it in those tampon boxes

20:49

with the cost of living. chocolate cost

20:51

of living problem? Not a big chocolate

20:53

eater these days. I used to eat

20:56

you when I was younger, but no,

20:58

I'm... But I get it, I get

21:00

it, you do... Wow, that's insane though.

21:02

Have you ever seen the movie This

21:04

is 40? God, how good is that

21:06

movie? When when you are 40 or

21:08

in your early 40s and you watch

21:11

this movie, it's so embarrassingly accurate. Like

21:13

when their girls try to get into

21:15

the nightclub and they don't get let

21:17

in because they're not hot young girls.

21:19

But what about the scene where Paul

21:21

Rudd's eating a cupcake at the bin?

21:23

Like he's been sent to take the

21:26

garbage out by his wife and he

21:28

huddles over the bin. Restrictions. 40 is

21:30

about restrictions and then I feel like

21:32

50 is about loosening the fuck up.

21:34

I couldn't agree more. And oftentimes by

21:36

the time you're 50, oh no I

21:39

shouldn't say this, but I was going

21:41

to say 40 is also about your

21:43

partner imposing restrictions and then usually by

21:45

the time you're 50 they're gone. Which

21:47

is not something I should say to

21:49

you. So no she can draw that.

21:51

Out of anything that you would say,

21:54

why would that be something? that you

21:56

would withdraw. You've said enough things on

21:58

this podcast. I know, but I feel

22:00

like that's disrespectful to you. And it

22:02

just felt bad. No one thinks that

22:04

you're saying it about her. You're talking

22:06

about in general, in people in their

22:09

40s, in marriages, and then when they

22:11

get the 50, they get fucking tired,

22:13

worn down, and they get the fuck

22:15

out of it. I don't want it

22:17

to sound like I'm predicting that, because

22:19

I am absolutely not. but I was

22:21

more about my own life obviously and

22:24

my circle of friends I have two

22:26

other issues that I really want to

22:28

bring to I've been looking so forward

22:30

to chatting with you and because I've

22:32

amazing things turning the tables around now

22:34

after I said that you I've been

22:37

begging for your friendship God this is

22:39

true I've been begging for your friendship

22:41

God this is true I took my

22:43

kids to see the Minecraft movie have

22:45

you heard about what's going on there?

22:47

Well I didn't go in obviously so

22:49

I took them and a friend from

22:52

a friend from school from school and

22:54

a friend from school I picked them

22:56

up at the cinema, they jump in

22:58

the car, and they all say, they

23:00

all start talking about this weird thing

23:02

that happened in there. These other kids

23:04

went crazy and were really noisy, and

23:07

I was like, what do you mean?

23:09

And they said, oh, they were just

23:11

like, they just got really noisy in

23:13

parts, and the staff had to come

23:15

in and tell them to be quiet.

23:17

And I was like, that's weird. And

23:20

I said, I've heard, I've never been

23:22

to a movie in America, but I've

23:24

never been to a movie in the

23:26

movie in the states, And I said,

23:28

was it like that? And they said,

23:30

no, not really. And Louis went so

23:32

far as to say, it hurt my

23:35

ears. And I was like, what the

23:37

fuck? What do you mean? He goes,

23:39

it was so loud, it hurt my

23:41

ears. Anyway, we get home and again,

23:43

I'm scrolling and I come upon this

23:45

story. It's a TikTok. It's a thing

23:47

where at certain moments in the, who

23:50

makes up this shit, at certain moments

23:52

in the Minecraft movie, you're meant to

23:54

absolutely go bananas. But I'm talking about

23:56

kids are jumping up boys and ripping

23:58

their shirts off and spinning them in

24:00

the air. They're throwing buckets of popcorn,

24:03

they're throwing drinks. Get on TikTok if

24:05

you've got it and search. Minecraft movie.

24:07

That's all you need to do and

24:09

you'll see all these kids are filming

24:11

it. They're just waiting for this moment

24:13

where this weird Minecraft chicken says something

24:15

and go crazy. Well, of course, I

24:18

mean, at first I was like, oh,

24:20

that sounds fun. And then I read,

24:22

you know, of course, the kids who

24:24

work at the cinemas have to go

24:26

in there in between sessions and clean

24:28

up this insane mess. So it's a

24:30

bit crook. It's like... I don't know,

24:33

I'm sounding like a mom here, but

24:35

I feel like, yeah, well have you

24:37

fun kids, but either don't make a

24:39

mess for the other kids, or clean

24:41

it up yourselves, come on. You know,

24:43

that's very responsible of you there, Michelle.

24:46

Well, I felt for the kids working

24:48

there, you know, the people work there,

24:50

the people work there are the same

24:52

age, they're like the same people, and

24:54

not that it would be okay if

24:56

they weren't. They're taking in like kilo

24:58

bags, how they get them in, I

25:01

don't know, bags of popcorn, specifically to

25:03

explode. It's a part of me that

25:05

wants to be a part of this

25:07

right now, just watch what happens. Let's

25:09

go! It's all holidays, go. Let's get

25:11

around it. Next time you're out on

25:13

the bus, just jump off at a

25:16

different stop, or maybe get the metro,

25:18

I know you love the metro. If

25:20

I saw that kicking off, I would

25:22

burst out laughing, I think. I don't

25:24

think I'd be the one going, hey

25:26

guys, I'd be thinking, this is just

25:29

amazing, I'm in the middle of a

25:31

fucking shit storm right here, I'm getting

25:33

off it and shit, well, this is

25:35

a great. When I first, I was

25:37

sorry, I was sorry, I was sorry,

25:39

I was sorry, I was sorry, I

25:41

was sorry, I was sorry, I was,

25:44

I was, I was, I was, I

25:46

was, I was, I was, I was,

25:48

I was, I was, I was, I

25:50

was, I was, I was, I was,

25:52

I was, I was, I was, I

25:54

was, I was, I was, I was,

25:56

I was, I was, I was, I

25:59

was, I was, No, of course. Yeah.

26:01

Yeah. Seven times a day and clean

26:03

this shit up. It's so horrible.

26:05

There's winners and losers in life.

26:07

I don't know. You mean, mate. I

26:10

get it. But I would love

26:12

26:14

26:18
