00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:26.559
I'm still waiting for you. Hi
everyone, thanks for listening to Shoes,

2
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:32.520
Boozing Tattoos. As always, I'm
Jess, I'm your host. So today

3
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.600
I have another very special episode for
you guys. I'm going to be talking

4
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:41.320
with Daniel Gamblin. He is the
host of This Week in History podcast.

5
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:46.439
He runs a great show. The
way he talks about history is from a

6
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:51.759
really passionate place. He was a
history teacher before and then he went on

7
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:56.799
to start his show. If you're
interested in history hearing about a lot of

8
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:03.679
these historical places and events with a
British accent, go ahead and give it

9
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.560
a listen. Now, this episode, we're going to be talking about some

10
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:15.000
of the differences between England and the
United States. Granted a lot of them

11
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.439
are coming from our own personal perspectives
from where we live. I live in

12
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:27.200
the Midwest. I'm in northeast Ohio. He's around London. As far as

13
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:32.079
I know, he's pretty close to
London. He talks about having a Cockney

14
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:37.599
accent, and we also go on
to talk about a very wide variety of

15
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:44.480
subjects in this Now you're warning for
this one, we do swear we briefly,

16
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:51.239
briefly touch on politics current events with
the Black Lives Matter movement coming through.

17
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:57.000
We don't share our personal opinions.
Really, we stay pretty neutral on

18
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.840
the subject. We address it,
and then we move on. Now,

19
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:07.520
little bits through here. You might
hear some banging. I tried to take

20
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:12.120
them out, but my husband was
working on the deck as we were doing

21
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:17.759
this interview. London is about five
hours ahead of us, so you might

22
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.639
hear a little bit of that here
and there. I tried to edit it

23
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:27.240
out as much as possible, but
sometimes stuff sneaks in or I can't get

24
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.280
to it because it would just screw
up the entire sentence that I just said.

25
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.280
Now, I'm gonna let the interview
go. It's not really an interview.

26
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.080
We just have a chat about the
differences that we have. In differences,

27
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:45.680
we stumble upon things that we didn't
even know we're different. I do

28
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.400
have some announcements, which I will
do at the end of this. If

29
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.400
you're interested in those, stick around
until after. They are kind of pertinent

30
00:02:54.520 --> 00:03:00.599
to the show and where it's going. So if that's something you want to

31
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:05.319
know about, stick around till after
the chat that Daniel and I have.

32
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:15.000
With all that out of the way, I hope you enjoy. There we

33
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:20.360
go, Hello for working. That
sounds good, right, I just thought

34
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.840
for a kickoffs, if that's all
right, that we'll start with a bit

35
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:32.159
of old school London slang. So
now in this country it's it's called Cockney

36
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:38.240
rhyming slang. Now sounds a bit
weird, but in it what we do

37
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:40.599
is it's two words. Nine times
out of ten, it's two words.

38
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.879
The second word is the word that
rhymes, and the first word doesn't rhyme.

39
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:52.599
Okay, but the first word is
the word that you use. So

40
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:59.120
again i'll explain. So the first
one that pretty it's pretty common in this

41
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:03.960
country is Adam and Eve. So
if you were in a conversation, you'd

42
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.560
go, you won't adam it.
You wouldn't say Adam and Eve. You'd

43
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:12.919
say, I don't you wouldn't.
You wouldn't adam it. So that's it

44
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.759
sounds a bit weird, and that's
how we hit does sound a real god,

45
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.360
but it basically Adam and Eve is
believe. So do you get whether

46
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:29.199
right? Yeah? The rhyme is
the second word. This is hard for

47
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.399
me to follow. Yeah, I
think it will be for most Americans to

48
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.920
be fair. So what I thought
i'd do is I'd give you a few

49
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:43.759
of them and see if you can
guess what they actually mean in English.

50
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:48.040
So we say in English in American
so oh right, very right. Yeah.

51
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:53.720
So I want to start some easy
ones. So you've got apples and

52
00:04:53.800 --> 00:05:02.759
pears, so it's apples and hairs? Can you use it in a sentence

53
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:12.759
going up? The apples and pairs? I have no idea. Really it

54
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:19.639
rhymes with pairs, right it doesn't? Yeah? Yeah, stairs, Yeah,

55
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:27.680
there we go. Yeah, did
you do this? It's not as

56
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:31.680
common now, that's common now.
Some of them are quite common. So,

57
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:38.920
like you know, there's there's some
really weird one. So barnet fair

58
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.759
is probably one of the most common
ones, and that is still used today.

59
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:50.519
So what you'd say is check out
the barnet on that bloke hair.

60
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:56.000
Yeah there you go, Okay,
okay, yeah, do you see what

61
00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:00.279
I mean? It's that sort of
they do make sense. Um. You

62
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:06.519
know, one I've used quite regularly
is brown breads. So if I'm getting

63
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:11.720
an argument with someone, carry on, mate, you're gonna be brown breads.

64
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:23.759
Mm hmm, what do you reckon? Oh my goodness, I feel

65
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:27.839
like an idiot because I'm trying to
think of things that write with bread that

66
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.199
fit into that context. Yeah,
well, if you put in the context

67
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:36.240
of an argument, huh, so
carry on, you're gonna be brown breads

68
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:43.199
like I'm gonna punch you in the
head or something dead. You're gonna be

69
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:49.439
dead dead yeah dead, brown bread
is dead. Okay, yeah, not

70
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:57.199
interesting. Yeah, not the nicest
one to use, but it does work.

71
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:02.120
I said that one that one does
get used to be fair and dog

72
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:11.360
and bone a very common one.
Okay, dog and bone. Can you

73
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.240
use it in a sentence? It
sounds like a spelling be Yeah, yes

74
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:21.560
it does. It does the answer
the dog, pick up the dog,

75
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:33.759
dog and bone the dog's ringing phone. Yeah, yeah, dog and bone

76
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:40.279
is phone. It is. Yes, Oh, weird one. That is

77
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:45.360
a weird one. It's really hard
to try to decipher it without any context,

78
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:46.800
I know. Yeah, that's why
I keep asking you to use it

79
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.839
in a sentence. Yeah, that
would makes sense, definitely. I can

80
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:59.600
do sentences with it. Um half
inch So again this I This was around

81
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.519
a lot when I was younger.
I've not really heard it used very much.

82
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.959
But if you go, oh,
well, where'd you get that?

83
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:13.639
You know that game he got I
offinched it from the shop, pinched it

84
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:18.800
like stole it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. Yeah,

85
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:20.319
that's why I said, I haven't
used that one for a long time because

86
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:26.240
I'm a good boy and I don't
Nick thinks. So we have some similar

87
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:35.399
little sayings, but they're not they're
they're not like rhyming or clever or anything

88
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.360
like. For something like that,
we would say it's a five finger discount.

89
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.879
Yeah, I've heard that one.
I've heard that one before. Yeah,

90
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.480
So yeah, I mean it's it's
more he's quite old Cockney slang goes

91
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.000
back to like over a hundred years, so a lot of this is it's

92
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:58.200
a way too talk back in the
day, so people from outside of the

93
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.720
East End didn't know you what was
saying. So it worked to an extent.

94
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.039
And like I said, that's why
they cut off the second word.

95
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:11.320
So where'd you get that away after
it from from the shop or if you're

96
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.000
listening by it and you go you
mean with that, you wouldn't know,

97
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:16.080
do you know what I mean?
So that's the point for it. It's

98
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.840
it was it was that sort of
that sort of a thing towards it interesting.

99
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.440
Yeah, this one's one of my
favorites, and I use this quite

100
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.799
a lot. It's Hampton Wick.
So you carry, you're talking to someone

101
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:37.639
if they're being an idiot there,
haven't you know, they think they're quite

102
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.039
a you know, a cocky person
or whatever, and you go, mate,

103
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:48.200
you're being at Hampton Dick. Yeah, it rhins with prick, but

104
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:54.159
yeah, prick Dick. So,
um, this one you probably heard Hank

105
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.600
Marvin. Have you ever heard Hank
Marvin? No, no, this one

106
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.919
of my kids actually, um so, see it's weird. This is so

107
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.000
common to me, but yeah,
to you guys, it's it's not.

108
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.600
But um you go, oh god, I haven't eaten all day on Ank

109
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:16.799
Marvin Starving. Yeah. Yeah,
it's quite an easy one that Oh my

110
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.279
goodness. Yeah, but that like
so that's really common like that. Even

111
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.519
my missus is from from the North, so when I say things like this,

112
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.440
she gets really annoyed because she doesn't
sound like it because it's not obviously

113
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.320
they're they're normal way of speaking.
So when I say stuff like Ank Marvin,

114
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.639
she'll be like, you're hungry.
I'm like, yeah, same thing.

115
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:45.360
That is funny. Yeah. Um, so there's there's one that's I

116
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.879
mean this my kids use this,
but I don't think they use it because

117
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:54.039
they know where it comes from.
And it's called raspberry tart. Raspberry tart.

118
00:10:54.639 --> 00:11:01.159
Yeah, so you might have heard
of the saying ras instead of having

119
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:05.519
a fart, it's a raspberry You
heard of that. Oh yeah, yeah,

120
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.399
that's where it comes from. Raspberry
tart is a far that's funny.

121
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:15.759
Yeah, so we can work along
that line. There's another one called ponium

122
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:22.919
trap. And if you can work
imagine that what trap could rhyme with clap

123
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:31.399
centering around the toilet humor? Do
you have a different word for it?

124
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:37.120
A crap? Okay, okay,
yeah, not a whole lot of people

125
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.159
actually say I'm going to go take
a crap anymore. No, we'll see

126
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.480
that's quite common. No, see, that's quite common. I think we're

127
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:50.440
just a little bit more fulgar than
you, to be honest. It's like

128
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.759
certain words evolve in certain ways of
saying things evolve. At least like up

129
00:11:54.759 --> 00:12:01.240
here in northern Ohio, very few
people say I'm gonna go take a crap.

130
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.159
Oh yeah, I don't think I'm
gonna go take a ship. I'm

131
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.639
gonna hit the head. I'm gonna
do something like military slang is more common

132
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:16.799
than words that are mockery for swear
words, you know. Yeah, see,

133
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:18.679
I think it was just more.
I'd say it's quite an old one.

134
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:24.200
It's not. That's not one that
I I've heard you for a long

135
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:30.519
long time. Yeah, there's one
that you guys might like. It's a

136
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:37.799
septic tank. It doesn't sound very
nice. That doesn't sound nice at all.

137
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.320
No, and you're probably not gonna
like what it's described in either or

138
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:50.440
Good News. Oh did I get
it? Is it like derogatory for a

139
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:56.799
woman? No? Not? Okay, No, then what what is it?

140
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.679
He's a yank? Oh? One
of you lot? Septic tank is

141
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:07.279
a yank? Okay. So I
was thinking about this, and I'm thinking

142
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:13.759
of words that rhyme with tank,
and I thought skank. See that's really

143
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.559
not common over here. That I
mean, I hear it used quite a

144
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:18.720
lot. Yeah, it's used a
lot of American TV. That words skank.

145
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.759
It's not really used over here at
all. See that's the first word

146
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:24.639
that popped into my head. And
that's why I was like, oh,

147
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:30.240
oh my goodness. Yeah, we're
not that septic tank. Yeah, we're

148
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:37.600
not that gross. Um. So
another another easy one. I think is

149
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:43.799
a tea leaf. So basically along
along the lines of always half inched it

150
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:46.639
you go one way to get a
mate. Oh I half inched it.

151
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:54.399
You're a tea leaf thief. Yeah. Oh okay, yeah, so that's

152
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:56.799
you know, you can It does
make it does make sense. A lot

153
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.279
of this does want to base a
bit a bit out there for you guys

154
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.159
that probably don't have a clue what
it means, right right, Yeah,

155
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.519
we don't get it at all.
Yeah, I mean this one. Your

156
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:15.000
president has a wonderful one of these, and it's a syrup. So in

157
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:24.519
the full word, it's syrup of
figs awake awake. Yeah, definitely has

158
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.519
a wonderful week than he. Oh
goodness, just go bald gracefully? May

159
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.600
I think he's got to that point
now he just just shave it off.

160
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.799
And see that photoshop picture floating around
of him with a bald head and a

161
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:45.679
beard. No, because it looks
like a badass, do you know,

162
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.360
I mean maybe a contrary to popular
opinion, I don't think he's as bad

163
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:56.919
as the media portrays him. I
think, Yeah, I'm not gonna go

164
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.519
into I don't hate going into politics
because I have very different It's called us

165
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.960
to most people. But I don't
think he's as bad as as the media

166
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:07.120
portrays him. I think the media
makes him out a lot worse than what

167
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.720
he actually is. But he doesn't
help himself with some of the things he

168
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.519
says. But I don't think,
yes, yeah, but that I can

169
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:22.480
be. We can spend hours talking
about Bonald Trump. I think, well,

170
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.000
I really don't have a lot to
say on him. I'm pretty neutral

171
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.480
on it, and I'm neutral when
it comes to American politics as well.

172
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.279
I don't really agree with either one
completely, and I agree with both in

173
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:39.159
certain things, So yeah, I
don't I don't mind talking about stuff like

174
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:46.799
that, but I'm not on either
side. I have friends that are very

175
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:50.480
far left and very far right learning
so I see the points of view,

176
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:56.039
and I'm just kind of wedged there
in the middle. Yeah, I mean,

177
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.200
that's I think, especially in politics, if you don't have a view,

178
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:04.240
just sort of just stick down the
middle, don't you stay, stay

179
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.879
out the way and ignore people,
because you can cause so many problems with

180
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:14.360
it, right right right, right, back back to the matter. This

181
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:18.639
one, this is one of my
favorite ones, which is a Dickey bird.

182
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:26.480
Dicky bird mhm. Is it a
turd. No, it's not as

183
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:32.440
vulgar. Um. You should be
like we're like, oh you go into

184
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:37.000
the theater, don't say a Dickey
bird say, don't say a word.

185
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.080
Yeah, yeah, it's nice.
He's one the one. I'll give you

186
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:47.279
one that you have heard before,
um, which is Bristol City. You

187
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:51.879
told me this one and I don't
agree it, do you know? Going

188
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:59.000
back to volgar it's a t not
the nice What was the phrase again?

189
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:06.599
You h what was the phrase again? Bristol City. Bristol City is another

190
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:14.960
one phrase for a titty. Yeah. Oh so we're not the most classy

191
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.880
of people. Yeah, well you
make it sound that way when you leave

192
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:23.559
off little bits. Yeah, it's
not. It's not the nicest. There's

193
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:29.640
certain things on there that are aren't
as nice. Um. Have you ever

194
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:36.720
heard of a barnie gonna have a
barney rubble m? I know I've heard

195
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:41.519
it. I think it's a bit
more common this one. Especially if you

196
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:48.119
watch British TV, you've probably definitely
heard this. Yeah. I do like

197
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.680
a lot of British TV shows and
movies and stuff like that, but it's

198
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.720
like all the slang just kind of
flies over my head. A fair enough

199
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.319
a Barnie Barney rubble is trouble,
Okay, it's gonna be there's gonna be

200
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:06.839
trouble, Okay. Yeah. I
always just like, I'll try to think

201
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:10.440
of it in context, especially with
like TV and stuff like that, what's

202
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:14.200
going on around them, and I
can kind of figure it out. If

203
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:15.839
they're in an argument and they say
that, I'm gonna think I'll fight.

204
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:21.960
Yes, I don't think of the
rhyming word. No, well that makes

205
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.480
sense, I suppose, don't it? Um another one. I just I'll

206
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:30.559
finish with this one because they,
like I said, I've got hundreds written

207
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.559
down here that I could go through, but I'll finish this one. And

208
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:38.640
that is a boat race. Boat
race, So if you see a woman,

209
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:45.880
you guys, she's got a nice
boat face. Yeah, oh yeah,

210
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:51.279
yeah, it's quite much sweeter than
I was expecting. Yeah. Well,

211
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:52.319
you know, we're not all vulgar. You know, we're not all

212
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.200
we're not all evil. We do
have some good ones and some bad ones,

213
00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.559
I suppose. Yeah, But like
I said, there's loads on here,

214
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.720
but I'm not gonna go to all
of them. Could spend hours going

215
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:10.799
through just cock me slang. Oh
my goodness, I know there's loads.

216
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:12.599
I mean, there's absolutely nods when
you tend to find with with the English,

217
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:18.640
especially like we we tend to use
some weird phrases that you probably won't

218
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:23.240
know, so like yeah, but
they're ones that that you will you will

219
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:26.680
use, but you'll use them in
slightly different way. Like the word ass.

220
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:34.839
You say ass that it's like,
but an ass is you would say,

221
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:38.960
would you would you ever use an
inner context of saying I'll stop being

222
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:44.920
an ass? Would you ever say
that to someone I've stopped being an ass?

223
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:47.839
Yeah, so someone's being an idiot? You just got out you're being

224
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:51.519
an ass? Yeah? Yeah,
we would say something like that. But

225
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:56.119
I mean if I was talking to
somebody and I was being the ass,

226
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.559
I would just say sorry I was
being an asshole or you know, yeah,

227
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:02.000
okay, yeah, so you use
the same context as us, but

228
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:06.480
like with a slightly different word,
right right, right right. Have you

229
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:17.240
ever heard of ass over tip?
Yes? Um, But I don't think

230
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:21.599
we have the same kind of like
it makes me think of like head over

231
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:27.319
heels or or um asked backwards or
you know, little phrases like that that

232
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:36.279
mean something. But I don't know
if it's the same context. Yeah,

233
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:38.400
it's um, it's in a context. Well, it's you basically when you're

234
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:42.440
drunk, So you go, you're
so drunk. She went ass over tip,

235
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:51.079
she fell over back. Oh my
goodness. We have a ton of

236
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:53.200
words in little phrases for being drunk, and that is not one of them.

237
00:20:55.200 --> 00:21:00.200
Asked backwards. Was just like doing
something wrong or off the wall wrong?

238
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:06.240
I see, I've not heard that
one. Ass backwards. No,

239
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:10.240
I've not heard that. That's a
new one for me. Funny enough.

240
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:15.359
I grew up with my mom.
Instead of saying ass, she says ours.

241
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:22.400
Really. Yeah, Okay, it
sounds weird coming out of an American

242
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:26.519
mouth, to be fair, really
yeah, the word asks it doesn't sound

243
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:30.640
right, come out you're enough,
because it's obviously it just I don't know,

244
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:34.519
it just doesn't sound right. That's
funny. I don't know why she's

245
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:41.359
she says it like that, why
she says ours, I don't know where

246
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:47.480
says it like that. But I
mean our family is Welsh, Irish stuff

247
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:49.240
like that, so I don't know
if they pronounced it a little funnier.

248
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:56.559
I don't know you're them than I
am. I'm not clued up one hundred

249
00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:02.839
percent on the Irish accent. Fair
well, they can talk and I won't

250
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:04.559
have a clue what they're saying.
But I love every minute of it.

251
00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:07.880
Yeah, I must admit I am
a big fan of the Irish accent,

252
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.119
you know, from my you know, from a personal point of view,

253
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.440
I do you really like the Irish
accent? You and I were talking before,

254
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:19.000
though, and you like all accents. I like a lot of accents.

255
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:22.799
There are some accents, especially in
this country. I really, I

256
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:30.960
really can't listen to for very long, but that there are I think that's

257
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:34.279
it's more to do with the fact
that I don't understand it than the fact

258
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:40.160
that it's I don't like it.
It's more so. For example, my

259
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:45.519
father in law is from Birmingham,
so he has a Bromming accent and the

260
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:49.680
Birmingham accent I can't listen to for
too long because I don't understand it.

261
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:56.160
But yet his accent isn't as strong
as most people because he doesn't it doesn't

262
00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:57.160
live there, hasn't lived there for
a few years. It's sort of the

263
00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:02.559
accents dropped a bit, so it's
not as strong. I mean, but

264
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:04.920
I notice it with myself, you
know, when I'm talking to my wife

265
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:08.400
and my kids and things like that. My accent, I mean, even

266
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:12.839
now, it's not as strong as
it is when I go down to London

267
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:18.519
for a week, swend a week
back in London and the proper London accent

268
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.759
comes out, and it's just I
find it very strange. But yeah,

269
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:26.519
my voice changes depending on who I'm
talking to, which is quite weird.

270
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:30.920
So if we talk a lot,
you might start to like hold on to

271
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:34.799
those rs at the end of some
words that I notice you kind of leave

272
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:41.200
off sometimes. No, I'm not. I mean, do you mean words

273
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:47.160
like path and things like that where
I add an R in where it's not

274
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:55.119
actually that No, actually like proper
that hard are sound at the end of

275
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:56.920
it. I noticed a lot of
times, like when you and I have

276
00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.680
a little chat or something like that
here and there, you'll will leave that

277
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:07.880
off. Yes, as we're talking, a little bit of it will come

278
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:11.119
back here and there. It's not
a hard R like I use, but

279
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.039
there's a little here. But the
more we talk, yeah, yeah,

280
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.119
yeah, I know what you mean. I do know what you mean.

281
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:22.640
Yeah. With with my accent,
I tend to drop drop letters and add

282
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:27.079
letters so that properly it would sound
like I've taken the hour away and putt

283
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:30.920
an either. Yeah, even though
it's not you, I mean, but

284
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:34.319
yeah, that's that's a sort of
my accent tends to do that quite a

285
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:38.920
lot. Yeah, I have noticed
that as you and I talk a bit

286
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:45.359
too. Yeah, yeah, it's
not the it's it's all right. I

287
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:48.880
mean, like I say, it's
understandable. It's not like I'm dropping loads

288
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:52.839
of stuff out. But yeah,
I must admit my missus and I'll go

289
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.160
I'll run the kids a bath and
she'll be like what I'll be like a

290
00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:59.359
bath. It's like, do you
mean a bath? And I'm like,

291
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:02.799
no, don't mean a We're in
a bath, so there's no R in

292
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:07.599
bath. We have this arc and
every time, but it's a yeah.

293
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:11.400
It just tends to add things and
take things out and just go for a

294
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.920
bit of a laugh of that.
See, it's funny listening to you and

295
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:22.000
not like seeing your mouth move because
it makes sense you don't really hear there

296
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:25.640
are too much. It sounds like
you're saying bath like b a f f

297
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:33.079
oh yeah to where like sometimes it
sounds like bath be at h just with

298
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.519
a longer a sound. But when
you say it and you shorten it.

299
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:45.160
It sounds like bath or both.
It sounds like be aff instead of any

300
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.519
R being present. Yeah, but
if I was looking at you and I

301
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:52.640
could actually see your mouth moving,
I would see the R kind of placed

302
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:56.160
in there a little bit. Yes, yeah, absolutely. You mean you've

303
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:59.759
now ruined the illusion that we're not
in the same room for this. You

304
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:03.640
know that. Well, I can't
fly to England and you are not going

305
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:08.240
to fly to Ohio. Bfe.
Ohio. It's a bit of a bit

306
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:12.839
of an out there place to go, isn't it. I suppose right there

307
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:17.680
are many places in the States I
would like to visit. Ohio is probably

308
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:22.599
not on the top of my list. There's not much there well, especially

309
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:29.920
where I'm located too. I'm an
our outside of Pittsburgh and Cleveland, but

310
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.559
I'm like ten minutes outside of Youngstown, and nobody wants to visit Youngstown,

311
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:40.000
do they not? Is it a
bit of a we have a dodgy area?

312
00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:45.920
Yeah, yeah, it's nobody goes
to Youngstown unless they live there,

313
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:51.920
know somebody that lives there, or
are passing through. So is it one

314
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:59.240
of those places right now that's probably
seeing quite a lot of problems. Yes,

315
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:03.960
absolutely. Youngstown and Warren are two
of the bigger cities by me.

316
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:11.200
They're both about ten maybe fifteen minutes
away. One is a little bit north

317
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:14.480
and one's a little bit south,
but both of them were starting to spill

318
00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:18.680
into cities that are neighboring me.
There's a little bit nerve wracking, but

319
00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:29.640
overall it's calmed down quite a bit. Yeah. I mean again, you've

320
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:33.880
got to be careful with this sort
of a situation. But I mean,

321
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:37.359
for me, totally understand. Yeah, I mean, I totally understand when

322
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.039
law and order breaks down. Why
should the people respect law and order?

323
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:45.039
In the people in your country?
You are there to make law and order,

324
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:48.200
don't respect it. So I mean
that again, that's another another whole

325
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.839
episode. And for the people who
are listening to this, who are into

326
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:59.720
my episode, who are my listeners, I will be covering something in the

327
00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:07.000
next few weeks to do with race
in America, going back to MLK and

328
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.440
sort of the introduction of the KKK
and things like that, because I think

329
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:15.240
it's quite important to people who don't
know what's going on, and you know,

330
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:21.599
you hear a lot of this stuff
in the media and all over Facebook

331
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:26.319
about what's going on and people being
negative and positive towards it. So I

332
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:32.839
think it'd be quite nice to get
something out that people can understand where where

333
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:36.559
this actually comes from and where it
you know, it's sort of been embedded

334
00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:38.799
into a society that doesn't really need
it. You know, it shouldn't have

335
00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:45.279
it shouldn't be there, but it's
sort of annoyingly. It's embedded into America

336
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:49.440
from sort of the sixteen hundreds.
Yeah, it definitely is, and it's

337
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:53.759
like a long standing I think that
people have been told by parents, who

338
00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:59.119
have been told by parents, and
it just gets passed down because yeah,

339
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:03.039
no kid looks at somebody says,
oh you're different. Now I don't want

340
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.559
to talk to you. Yes,
exactly, especially like little ones. They

341
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:11.519
don't care. Your friend is your
friend and it doesn't matter. Yeah,

342
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:18.839
it's something that's instilled. Yes,
definitely, it's institutionalized in America. But

343
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.759
I think it again, that's something
that can go into can go they can

344
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.440
take this fine episode a completely long
different wake on it. This one so

345
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:30.839
well. I actually I have a
question for you, because I'm not really

346
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:38.519
familiar with your culture there. I
guess do you have issues with racism there?

347
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:47.759
See it would be very naive for
me to say no. The problem

348
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:52.960
is they do exist. There are
issues in this country, but the problem

349
00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:56.960
is in this country they tend to
be not well publicized and the ones that

350
00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:00.559
are well publicized. And there was
a little kids, say a little kid,

351
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:07.279
a young man called Stephen Lawrence,
who was murdered a good probably about

352
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.480
twenty years ago now, and that
case went absolutely viral. It was a

353
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:15.559
gang of white youths and he was
murdered and that that went absolutely mental.

354
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:22.119
The problem you have in this country
is the high profile murders that have happened

355
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:27.000
in the last few years have actually
been done by terrorists in this country.

356
00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:30.119
So yeah, I mean, I
mean it's all over the media, but

357
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:36.000
there's been a lot of terrorist attacks
in this country, and I think I

358
00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:40.279
think it's sort of we've sort of
moved on a little bit with that,

359
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:45.799
but there is still there is still
definitely racism in this country, one hundred

360
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:49.640
percent, you know, but not
it's not just isolated to the blacks.

361
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:55.519
It's it's we it's a lot of
people that you know, there's a lot

362
00:30:55.599 --> 00:31:00.680
there's a group in England and in
the UK who specifically don't like anyone who's

363
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:04.920
not white British. And the thing
is, when these the terrorist attacks were

364
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:10.359
happening. Over the last few years, these groups have got more and more

365
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:15.480
influential because a lot of people have
gone, you know, there's white people

366
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:21.039
dying here and no one seems to
care. And that's all. So a

367
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:25.359
lot of people instead of jumping on
the bandwagon of the people who are committing

368
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:29.519
these crimes are bad, they've jumped
on the bandwagon of all people of this

369
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:33.119
nationality or all people of this color
or this race are bad. So it's

370
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:37.200
gone. It has gone that way
a little bit, but I mean we're

371
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:41.720
not We're not to that point.
But again doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

372
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:45.920
You know, this this whole issue
with George Floyd, the main reason this

373
00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:51.200
is such a big issue in America
is for the first time ever, I

374
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:56.759
think it's actually been recorded. The
whole incident of what had happened has been

375
00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:00.880
recorded. There is no way that
the police or anyone. I'm not saying

376
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:05.880
the police do cover things up,
because again that opens them I think there

377
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:08.319
is a possibility, But again that
opens a can of what past, doesn't

378
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:12.599
it If you start saying, well, they definitely cover things up so well,

379
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:16.799
Like I can say for Americans in
general, we all know through especially

380
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:22.079
those that listen to true crime or
anything. We know the police fuck up

381
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:27.079
or the otationally sweep something under the
rug a little bit because they don't want

382
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:30.000
to publicized or anything like that.
We know what happens. That's about to

383
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:34.640
say that these people had the intention
of doing that, but we know,

384
00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:37.200
I mean, yeah, and that's
what I mean. You know, there's

385
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:42.920
definitely definitely a cover up. And
the thing is you tend to find I

386
00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:49.400
find in this country we're very quick
to cover things up if it doesn't support

387
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:55.000
the majority in this country. So
there's been a case in the UK that

388
00:32:55.160 --> 00:33:00.519
has been quite viral over the last
couple of years, and that is a

389
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:07.240
grooming gangs in the UK that have
been specifically targeting underage white girls that have

390
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:12.920
been seeing the age of like twelve
and fifteen. And you're talking hundreds of

391
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:20.200
girls that have been abused in this
situation, and it doesn't make the media

392
00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:24.640
to an extent that it should do. Something like that to me is absolutely

393
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:30.920
vile. It's just as bad as
what's happened to George Floyd. But yet

394
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:36.119
it gets sort of a media blackout, and that I think that's I think

395
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:39.519
in this country. I think we
I think our government potentially has more control

396
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:45.000
over the media in this country than
your government does. I think, yeah,

397
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:49.960
and I think that might be why
you know, you find that.

398
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:54.039
But I mean as far as things
like do the police intentionally, I mean,

399
00:33:54.599 --> 00:34:00.319
I've watched I watch a program on
Netflix which is called black Lightning,

400
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:05.279
and it's a brilliant program and if
anyone's you know, interested, it is

401
00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:09.079
really really good. And you're talking
about a man who is the principal,

402
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:14.039
or in this country, would be
the head teacher of a secondary school or

403
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:17.559
high school, and he gets pulled
over by the police, dragged out the

404
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:22.239
car or handcuffed, and he's in
a suit, he's in do you know

405
00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:24.719
what I mean, He's well dressed, and you sort of just says,

406
00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:29.519
he says to the police officer,
you know what, why are you doing

407
00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:32.559
this? And the police officers doesn't
give him an answer, and you know

408
00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:37.159
you're sitting there going you're putting him
over for his black and and but the

409
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:42.960
problem you have, I think is
as and I think a lot of Americans

410
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:44.840
would watch that and go, well, you know why, it's putting him

411
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:46.000
over, you know why? And
I know it's a TV show, But

412
00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:52.400
the problem is is how many people
have sat there and watched that and go,

413
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:55.760
he's definitely doing that. It's definitely
racist, But then they don't do

414
00:34:55.880 --> 00:35:01.599
anything about it. You know,
I watched a psychologist, a woman in

415
00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:05.719
America. She did a show in
America, and she actually turned around and

416
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:09.920
said to her audience, she said, how many of the white members of

417
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:14.280
my audience, I would like you
to stand up, if you would be

418
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:17.960
happy to spend the rest of your
life being treated the same as a black

419
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:21.960
person in this country. And not
one of them stood up, And she

420
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:23.199
said, and that is the point. He said, that's the problem,

421
00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:27.440
she said, because every single one
of you know there's an issue here,

422
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:31.280
because none of you are standing up. You all know there's an issue,

423
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:36.679
but nobody's willing to speak out against
it. So I do think there's more

424
00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:39.280
of an issue there than there is
here. But to say there's no issue

425
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:44.360
here, it would be very very
naive. Okay. I was really curious

426
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:50.800
as to if you had that,
because I wasn't sure how worked there,

427
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:57.760
because I know you have a very
different kind of melting pot. Then we

428
00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:04.679
do we're more tolerant. I think
as as British we are much more tolerant

429
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:10.880
in the way that we deal with
things. I do think in America you're

430
00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:15.760
goes for every race in America.
But I think this might be a stereotype.

431
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:20.159
But you mean, the British stereotype
of an American is someone who's very

432
00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:25.360
loud, very boisterous, very in
your face. Someone who would you'd pour

433
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:28.679
petrol on a fire to put it
out, you know what I mean?

434
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:30.559
That type of person, Oh well, you know, we just need a

435
00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:32.440
bigger fire and then it will disappear. That to me is what an American

436
00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:38.159
is. That's a stereotype and I
think that that is very reflective in the

437
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:42.840
way Americans deal with certain issues.
I do think that you have a tendency

438
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:47.039
to put fight fire with fire,
do you know what I mean, rather

439
00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:53.079
than fight fire with water. And
I think in Britain we tend to so

440
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:57.199
go. We don't like that,
we're gonna, We're gonna step away,

441
00:36:57.239 --> 00:36:59.480
and to be honest, it doesn't
always work. You know. The way

442
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:04.119
we deal with things isn't isn't always
the best way personally. What's going on

443
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:08.719
in America. I think it's going
to work. I really do. I

444
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:14.400
really do. Yeah, I really
do think that it's going to change the

445
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:17.559
world, and I think it needs
to. So as much as I don't

446
00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:22.159
necessarily agree with the ones that I
using this as an opportunity to take things,

447
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:28.199
I do want to understand agrees with
it, no, no, but

448
00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:32.920
I do understand the concept behind the
movement, you know. Yeah, I

449
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:36.960
for anyone who is on my Facebook, you know, when it all came

450
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:39.199
out, I was one of the
first. I've straight away put up the

451
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:43.800
Black Lives Matter page and things like
that because I do, I do one

452
00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:47.440
hundred percent agree with with it completely. You know, it's it's institutionalized and

453
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:52.639
someone needs to do something about it. And I think, I think maybe

454
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:58.639
maybe this is the the cherry on
the cake that's going to actually sort this

455
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:02.480
out. I mean, Martin Luther
King did a massive job, and would

456
00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:07.079
he have believe that fifty sixty years
later this was still going on. Probably

457
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:13.320
not, but it is, and
now hopefully this is going to cause enough

458
00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:19.559
of a rucus to actually end it
once and for all, right, And

459
00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:22.199
I do want to touch on a
couple of things real quick. I love

460
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:24.840
that we're talking about this because it
does need to be talked about. I

461
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:29.000
know, it's all over the news, it's all over social media. People

462
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:34.800
are probably tired of it by now. But yes, real quick, with

463
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:42.679
the stereotype of Americans, after talking
with me pretty regularly, do you still

464
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:45.840
hold on to that stereotype? Do
you still think Americans are like that?

465
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:57.719
I think there's definitely a sense of
certain stereotypes that I do believe are true.

466
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:04.320
I definitely have warmed to this.
The gun nut That was another one

467
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:07.559
that come out was that, you
know, in this country, our gun

468
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:09.519
laws are very very strict. In
America, they're a little bit more,

469
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:15.239
say a little bit more, they're
bloody non existent in comparison. But um,

470
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:20.079
you know, I do, I
do definitely think that that stereotype's still

471
00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:22.119
there, you know, that sort
of you know, we do we do

472
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:28.280
see you as a lot of you
gun gun nuts. Um. You know,

473
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:32.039
you're talking about a country it's got
more guns than people. So it's

474
00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:37.440
very hard to to try and comprehend
that, especially like it in this country.

475
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:42.440
It's very hard to comprehend that.
Um But I do think a lot

476
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:49.559
of my opinions have sort of changed
a little bit. Um But I don't

477
00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:52.440
know, it's hard like so they've
been on holiday and you see Americans in

478
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:58.840
when you're on holiday, and you
know they're American because they're louder than everybody

479
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:01.920
else in the hotel put together,
and you just go, you also want

480
00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:07.320
to walk over and go, will
you shut the fuck up? But that's

481
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:10.039
just you know, that's who they
are. That's funny. That's funny.

482
00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:15.800
But as a general rule, I
think Americans are slightly louder than the British.

483
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:21.480
Okay, and I don't think i'd
change that opinion. Do you want

484
00:40:21.519 --> 00:40:24.840
to know our stereotype of you?
I know you think we've got bad teeth,

485
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:29.440
and I don't know where that's come
from. Yes, bad. Yeah,

486
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:36.199
I really don't get that dress to
impress, always sip tea with your

487
00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:40.079
pinkie out and everything, cross legs
at the knee that are like like little

488
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:46.039
image. As soon as somebody says
describe a British person to the average American,

489
00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:51.239
that's what pops in our head.
A big part of that is thanks

490
00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:57.679
to American TV and especially like programs
like I would I would have to say,

491
00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:04.119
like Family Guy and stuff like that. A trail of British people is

492
00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:10.719
bad teeth, bad too, very
fair skin, dress very proper, speak

493
00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:15.760
very proper, and drink a lot
of tea. Well, I'm going to

494
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:22.679
debunk all of that because I definitely
don't speak proper. I have a massive

495
00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:28.039
beard. I can't stand tea.
I'm a coffee drinker. I can't stand

496
00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:31.079
tea. My mom does. My
mum's a big tea drinker. When it

497
00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:37.199
comes to pinky out, I think
I have done it, but it's normally

498
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:42.239
when I drink wine, I tend
to sort of hold the cold of wine

499
00:41:42.280 --> 00:41:45.960
glass with two fingers, and then
that's not I want to see that,

500
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:51.360
but it doesn't suit me. Yeah, as far as dressed smartly, I

501
00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:53.440
mean when I when I used to
teach teaching history, I would go to

502
00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:59.400
work in a suit. Um,
Now I live in boots and shorts,

503
00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:04.440
so you know it's a I do
think that. Yeah. And bad teeth,

504
00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:07.199
I mean, I've really don't get
that. I've seen that in pretty

505
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:12.679
much every American TV show, especially
Family Guy, the way they do that

506
00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:15.559
British, and you just go,
we don't look like that. But then

507
00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:22.880
I think I don't think we necessarily
have an opinion on the American looks per

508
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:28.280
se you know, I think going
back a few years ago, you would

509
00:42:28.280 --> 00:42:30.679
have said everyone in America is either
really really fat or really really thin.

510
00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:38.960
That that tended to be a bit
of a stereoidside because you'd see all all

511
00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:44.119
we'd get on British TV from America
would be like America's Next Top Model,

512
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:46.480
where every single one of them,
I've got more fat in my little finger.

513
00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:51.199
Yeah, and then it would be
the one time Man and the next

514
00:42:51.199 --> 00:42:53.400
show and you're like, really,
this guy needs a crane to get to

515
00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:58.000
his own funeral? Is that sort
of and you sort of God, So

516
00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:00.840
that sort of steroids. I mean, the media help with things like that,

517
00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:02.880
but like I said, that,
that has sort of dumb down a

518
00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:07.800
little bit. Now you've got a
lot more a lot more shows that show

519
00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:12.199
a little bit more Yeah, real
people, I suppose. I know,

520
00:43:13.400 --> 00:43:17.679
I met somebody that was from Mexico. Their stereotype of us was all cowboys,

521
00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:25.000
Like, yeah, western cowboys that
spoke with a Southern twang. And

522
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:30.679
obviously most of us don't have that
because you know, that's a Southern thing,

523
00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:35.719
but we love to be a cowboy. It's so funny how these stereotypes

524
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:38.800
are so different and even when you
talk about the different areas of the United

525
00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:46.320
States, there's a stereoy even for
us, like we have our own stereotypes

526
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:52.920
with different parts of our country.
Really have accents all over the country that

527
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:58.000
are very different. Very few accents
bother me. But I have to say

528
00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:02.400
a lot of the Eastern, especially
the Northeastern, like Boston accents. I

529
00:44:02.599 --> 00:44:08.599
can't. I can't do it.
I must admit that's from family guy as

530
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:15.760
well, the Rhode Islands, that
sort of New England accent. I'm not

531
00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:20.719
a huge fan of that personally,
or New Jersey. I ain't got time

532
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:25.320
for that accent either. That is
one. Sorry, one who's listening is

533
00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:30.519
from Jersey. That is an accent. I can't play with that. One

534
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:35.159
doesn't bother me too bad. I
mean it was on the person and how

535
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:39.440
they're talking. As long as you
can have an an intelligent conversation, I

536
00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:43.559
can get past the accent. I
think that's the problem though, isn't it.

537
00:44:44.639 --> 00:44:49.320
But with that, I don't remember
if it's exactly a Boston accent,

538
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:54.239
but there's something where they drop the
R and put a very high A in

539
00:44:54.400 --> 00:45:00.400
there. The only thing ink car. It's like car, and I hate

540
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:05.800
that. I can't. I can't
do it. That reminds me of the

541
00:45:05.880 --> 00:45:13.039
film Ted when he says the Boston
girl in Bedroom Going had had a Yes.

542
00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:19.519
I think that always much with the
Boston accent, that one that is

543
00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:24.159
so funny, because that is the
one and only accent that I just can't

544
00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:30.719
for a long period of time.
At least I get yeah, I start

545
00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:34.960
tuning it out after a while.
But pretty much every other accent I've heard

546
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:39.480
I haven't had an issue with.
I can actually enjoy listening to, except

547
00:45:39.519 --> 00:45:45.480
for that one, Hm Lan I
must have met. I don't tend to

548
00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:50.000
have any of that that I can't
listen to. Um, you know.

549
00:45:50.360 --> 00:45:55.480
I find sometimes the Scottish accent can
be very difficult to understand. My sisters

550
00:45:55.519 --> 00:46:00.280
from Scotland, well, now that's
a lie. My sisters actually English,

551
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:04.079
but she moved to Scotland when she
was about nine and now she sounds like

552
00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:07.719
she's never lived outside of Scotland.
She's got a very very strong Scottish accent.

553
00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:13.639
But yeah, her accent I can
deal with. But I find with

554
00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:16.320
a lot of men the Scottish accent, they sound like they're very angry all

555
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:21.719
the time, and I find that
to be quite not. I don't dislike

556
00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:23.320
the accent. I do quite like
the accent, but I do find sometimes

557
00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:30.199
that's quite a hard one to understand. I love, absolutely love the Scottish

558
00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:35.920
accent. If anybody else you're listening
is Scottish, and it doesn't matter if

559
00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:39.280
you're a man or a woman,
you should start reading bedtime stories for people

560
00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:45.400
like us Americans, we will listen
to whatever you want to say. We

561
00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:50.400
don't care if we understand you.
We just love the British. We love

562
00:46:50.519 --> 00:46:57.360
the Scottish and the Irish accents.
There's something about those accents that we absolutely

563
00:46:57.519 --> 00:47:01.079
love and we'll listen to. You
do tend to over yeah, I must

564
00:47:01.119 --> 00:47:05.960
have met Americans did tend to have
a bit more of a love for our

565
00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:09.039
accent than we do for Theirs.
I would say, I mean me personally

566
00:47:09.079 --> 00:47:14.840
are Yeah. So that's what it
isn't it. You know, all our

567
00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:19.679
TV, like I said, I'm
on about the last four TV shows that

568
00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:23.199
I watched on Netflix all the way
through, I've all been American, you

569
00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:28.480
know. And it's not because I
don't like British TV. It's just because

570
00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:31.920
Americans make more than we do.
You make more TV than we do,

571
00:47:32.039 --> 00:47:39.199
So you know, my ability to
listen to American accents is you know,

572
00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:42.639
it's very common. I mean I
even hear my kids and our kids.

573
00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:47.119
You not my kids are upstairs and
that they're both talking in American accent because

574
00:47:47.119 --> 00:47:51.760
they watch stuff on YouTube and they
sat there talking in American accent, and

575
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:53.920
I had to shout out, shout
stairs, Ago, you're fucking English.

576
00:47:54.159 --> 00:47:59.440
What are you doing? It's like, you know, it's just one of

577
00:47:59.480 --> 00:48:01.920
them things to tell him, can
you English stop talking to American? They

578
00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:05.639
go, oh, sorry, that's
right, you will be, you know,

579
00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:13.079
but it's just that that's not just
you either. My daughter has done

580
00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:17.519
that I don't know how many times
with either a British or Australian accent.

581
00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:22.760
Okay, so it's just a kid
thing. Do you tell her you have

582
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:28.039
a guy stop it your Americans?
Stop doing it? All starts doing it

583
00:48:28.159 --> 00:48:30.960
outside of her room. Like if
she's talking to me and she just starts

584
00:48:31.039 --> 00:48:34.840
doing it, I'm like, what
the hell are you doing? Yeah?

585
00:48:35.440 --> 00:48:38.559
How about that? Yeah, it's
kine. It's quite fun. Other than

586
00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:43.039
that, I just let her do
her little thing. Who knows, maybe

587
00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:46.079
one time, one day she will
actually move to England or New Zealand or

588
00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:52.400
Australia. That'll come in handy.
I must admit I had I had a

589
00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:55.239
point in my life where I wanted
to move to the States, but yeah,

590
00:48:55.280 --> 00:49:00.880
that's gone. Now that's gone.
Now I've heard about how you deal

591
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:04.719
with your healthcare and things like that. I am interested, right, you

592
00:49:04.800 --> 00:49:08.039
and I have talked about that quite
a bit. Oh yeah, that's something

593
00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:13.519
that might have a reform at some
point in the near future. I'm not

594
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:17.639
gonna say whether or not I support
what, but I'm tired of paying six

595
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:21.440
hundred dollars a month for health coverage
and then having to pay out a pocket

596
00:49:21.480 --> 00:49:24.400
for everything they decide they don't want
to cover. Obviously, I don't understand

597
00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:29.079
that. See, I mean,
you're talking six hundred dollars a month that

598
00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:35.559
I pay National Insurance. So I
have my work is thirty thousand pound a

599
00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:43.920
year and I pay twenty four pound
a week National insurance and that's for the

600
00:49:44.039 --> 00:49:52.480
NHS. So that's one hundred pounds
a month for NHS and we get everything.

601
00:49:52.840 --> 00:49:54.000
The only thing, I mean,
what are you're waiting times like in

602
00:49:54.119 --> 00:50:02.679
A and E any Is that ambulance
an emergency? No, it's accident,

603
00:50:02.719 --> 00:50:06.960
an emergency. Oh, if you
if you cut your finger, where'd you

604
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:10.639
go the emergency room? But it
kind of depends on what hospital you go

605
00:50:10.800 --> 00:50:19.079
to. You could be waiting anywhere
between twenty minutes to twelve hours. It

606
00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:22.920
depends on how many people are in
there, the severity of your injury,

607
00:50:23.199 --> 00:50:28.719
how many people like have more serious
injuries. If somebody comes in with heart

608
00:50:28.800 --> 00:50:31.440
issues or has been in a car
accident, you get pushed back. So

609
00:50:31.599 --> 00:50:37.039
it really depends makes sense. But
usually if you're going in there your fingers

610
00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:39.239
cut, you just need stitches,
you're not going to be in there any

611
00:50:39.320 --> 00:50:45.920
more than six to eight hours maximum. Usually you're waiting times roughly the same

612
00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:50.239
as ours. So that's one thing
I always thought was, you know,

613
00:50:50.440 --> 00:50:57.280
are waiting times I think on average
is about four hours on average, so

614
00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:00.039
you sort of tend I always thought
that, you know, the reason we

615
00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:06.960
had shit waiting times was because we
didn't have as much money going into our

616
00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:09.800
NHS as obviously America probably does,
and that's why you're waiting. Signs would

617
00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:14.360
better. But if you're waiting times
are the same, then that's based off

618
00:51:14.360 --> 00:51:16.360
of like a busy hospital like there, to say the waiting room is half

619
00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:21.320
full. You might wait since to
eight hours, depending on how many doctors

620
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:27.119
are on duty and the hospital and
everything. There's a little tiny like emergency

621
00:51:27.199 --> 00:51:30.960
care center up the street from me, maybe five minutes away. If you

622
00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:35.679
go in there, you're usually taken
back, seen by the doctor, diagnosed,

623
00:51:36.079 --> 00:51:40.079
and out there, out of there
within an hour to where if I

624
00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:45.000
go to a bigger hospital that's either
in Youngstown or Warren, I'm probably going

625
00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:52.239
to be there at least four hours. Do you have GPS? Is a

626
00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:57.119
GPA thing in your country, like
a general practitioner, like a regular doctor.

627
00:51:57.280 --> 00:52:00.440
Yes, we do. Yeah,
yeah, so you don't always Squid's

628
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:02.639
Hospital. No, no, no, But if you go to the hospital,

629
00:52:02.719 --> 00:52:07.800
you don't have to pay for it
right, No for us if you

630
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:13.360
have private insurance, like if you're
not under the poverty line and qualify for

631
00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:21.760
government assistance for medical Usually the normal
cost for an emergency room visit is anywhere

632
00:52:21.880 --> 00:52:28.079
from one hundred and twenty five to
five hundred dollars just to be seen.

633
00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:32.119
And you're charged for every bandage.
You're charged for every alcohol wipe, every

634
00:52:32.199 --> 00:52:38.719
tissue, everything, you're charge for
everything. Yes, having a baby,

635
00:52:39.639 --> 00:52:45.360
if you are just normal healthy,
have a normal delivery, nothing out of

636
00:52:45.400 --> 00:52:52.039
the ordinary, no medication. It's
about ten thousand dollars. Holy crap.

637
00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:53.960
You have to pay to have kids. Yes, you have to pay to

638
00:52:54.000 --> 00:53:00.079
have kids. And that's for like
a very basic insurance plan. Wow,

639
00:53:00.760 --> 00:53:06.559
because a lot of times you have
to meet a certain deductible of qualified,

640
00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:15.079
qualified things that they will cover.
That's mental. Yeah, that's absolutely mental.

641
00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:19.440
Well, I was talking to I
just had an issue where I found

642
00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:22.960
a lump in my breast, which, oh well, was caused for concern

643
00:53:23.199 --> 00:53:29.400
because breast cancer grounds in my family. I went to go have it checked

644
00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:32.480
out for them to build the insurance, and then the built come to us.

645
00:53:34.039 --> 00:53:39.559
It would have been twenty two hundred
dollars that we would have gotten because

646
00:53:39.599 --> 00:53:45.719
my insurance did not cover a mammogram
and an ultrasound because of my age because

647
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:49.320
I'm only thirty. They don't cover
it until you get to be forty five,

648
00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:55.360
So you have to pay the two
and two and off grunts. Well,

649
00:53:55.800 --> 00:54:00.360
we talked to the doctor's office to
pay cals. It's a lot cheaper.

650
00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:04.679
You pay the same day. I
ended up paying about three hundred dollars

651
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:14.920
for both. Yes, flood the
oo that would literally that won't cost a

652
00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:19.280
penny. Yeah, well here it's
very different. It ended up coming back

653
00:54:19.320 --> 00:54:22.559
to be just assist. I had
to have it aspirated, so I have

654
00:54:22.639 --> 00:54:25.639
to pay for that, and then
I also have to pay for the testing

655
00:54:25.719 --> 00:54:30.760
they do on the fluid that they
removed, and I have yet to get

656
00:54:30.840 --> 00:54:35.000
that bill. But that was built
through our insurance. It was four hundred

657
00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:39.079
dollars for them to do five minutes
of work to put a needle in and

658
00:54:39.159 --> 00:54:43.679
to extract it, and then it
was done. It was four hundred bucks.

659
00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:49.679
Oh my god, I thought,
you can't even that's not going through

660
00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:53.079
insurance. Insurance, right, If
it had gone through insurance, it could

661
00:54:53.079 --> 00:54:58.440
have been three times as much,
four times as much. And that's because

662
00:54:58.559 --> 00:55:00.920
your insurance don't cover it up.
No, my insurance would not cover any

663
00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:05.440
of it. Why do you have
insurance? This is what I don't understand.

664
00:55:06.079 --> 00:55:07.320
This is the thing I've always thought, like, if you have insurance,

665
00:55:07.480 --> 00:55:12.960
we have we have to have insurance
for the dogs. So if we

666
00:55:13.800 --> 00:55:17.679
for example, a dog needs no
surgery and it's going to cost five hundred

667
00:55:17.719 --> 00:55:23.559
quids, let's let's say five hundre
quisinal example, Let's say it's two grands.

668
00:55:23.639 --> 00:55:29.880
Yeah for the surgery. Okay,
we'll go into the vets the veto

669
00:55:29.960 --> 00:55:31.800
have you got insurance? Would go
yeah, and they go out. Okay.

670
00:55:32.239 --> 00:55:36.480
What they would do is they would
contact the insurance company. The insurance

671
00:55:36.519 --> 00:55:39.480
company would pay them the two grands, and then my insurance company will contact

672
00:55:39.559 --> 00:55:44.000
me and say you have to pay
the excess of five hundred quid. So

673
00:55:44.119 --> 00:55:47.320
we then pay the insurance company the
five hundred quid. That's how it works.

674
00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:57.199
Oh my goodness, that is how
our insurance for people works. Do

675
00:55:57.320 --> 00:56:01.239
you have insurance for pets? It's
a available, but it's very expensive,

676
00:56:02.639 --> 00:56:06.760
Like you're gonna pay just as much
for your pet as you would a person.

677
00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:14.440
Geez, My insurance for my dogs
is four pound a week. Ours

678
00:56:14.639 --> 00:56:19.679
is more like twenty to fifty for
one. Yes, yeah, I think

679
00:56:19.679 --> 00:56:23.440
I was about two pounds something for
each dog. Yeah. Oh wait,

680
00:56:23.679 --> 00:56:29.360
there's nothing. See ours is much
much more. We're not required to have

681
00:56:29.440 --> 00:56:32.880
any kind of insurance for our pets. A thing for us like um,

682
00:56:35.280 --> 00:56:39.760
certain counties that you're in will decide
that you need to have a license for

683
00:56:39.880 --> 00:56:45.639
your dog and you have to have
your dog registered. But other than that,

684
00:56:45.880 --> 00:56:52.000
there's no real restrictions or requirements for
you to have pets. Wow,

685
00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:54.679
we as a just chips we have
in this country. You have to you

686
00:56:54.719 --> 00:56:59.159
have to have a chip in the
dog, micro chip just to show who

687
00:56:59.400 --> 00:57:01.360
is where they frump. But that's
that's it. That's the only law.

688
00:57:02.360 --> 00:57:07.760
That's not a law here. When
you have dog pounds as well, didn't

689
00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:10.760
you actually have people to go out
and catch see? Now that's something I

690
00:57:10.880 --> 00:57:15.800
never understood because I see it on
TV. You see it on films like

691
00:57:16.039 --> 00:57:19.960
Lady in the Tramp. That always
brings to mind that you got the dog

692
00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:23.159
catch or Lady in the Tramp that
goes around China cats and dogs, and

693
00:57:23.320 --> 00:57:25.760
you watch it and you go,
how many stray dogs do you have in

694
00:57:25.800 --> 00:57:30.440
America? We literally have none in
this country. There are no stray dogs

695
00:57:30.840 --> 00:57:36.639
ever. Really, really, they
do not. I'm nearly thirty years old

696
00:57:36.679 --> 00:57:39.639
of twenty nine. I've never seen
a stray dog in my life. Oh

697
00:57:39.760 --> 00:57:45.320
my goodness, it just don't exist. This is something you and I never

698
00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:49.960
talked about. I didn't know this
was a difference because here stray cats and

699
00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:57.719
straight dogs. Oh my goodness.
In the summer, especially if there's stray

700
00:57:57.760 --> 00:58:00.960
dogs or stray cats out and they're
not fixed. They will have kittens and

701
00:58:01.119 --> 00:58:07.400
puppies and continue to have them,
and then there will just be more stray

702
00:58:07.440 --> 00:58:10.360
dogs, more stray cats. A
lot of people do try to take them

703
00:58:10.480 --> 00:58:17.239
in, but it's very hard to
home a feral animal, an animal that

704
00:58:17.320 --> 00:58:22.039
has never been in a home.
Yeah, yeah, and we do have

705
00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:25.719
a lot of those. I mean, and there's people here. I have

706
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:32.679
seen people in apartments that I've lived
in where they'll just let the animal go

707
00:58:34.280 --> 00:58:38.760
when they don't want it anymore.
They had a big drive in this country

708
00:58:39.360 --> 00:58:44.760
around the eighties. They had a
big thing that went round and it was

709
00:58:45.039 --> 00:58:47.440
a dog is not just for Christmas, And you'd see it on the back

710
00:58:47.480 --> 00:58:51.760
of everyone's car. There would always
say a dog is not for Christmas,

711
00:58:51.840 --> 00:58:54.480
and not dog is not just for
Christmas. And that was a massive thing.

712
00:58:54.599 --> 00:58:58.599
Now this is prior to me being
born. I saw a few in

713
00:58:58.639 --> 00:59:00.639
the nineties. But oh so I
was at born in the eighties, so

714
00:59:00.760 --> 00:59:06.800
I don't know prior to the nineties
whether straight dogs were a thing. But

715
00:59:07.159 --> 00:59:10.159
I said, now just just don't
exist. You get the odd stray cat,

716
00:59:12.039 --> 00:59:16.679
maybe maybe one or two, but
not enough to to you know.

717
00:59:16.840 --> 00:59:22.000
Right over about it. It's not
a big deal. It's yeah. I

718
00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:27.519
mean, feral cats are a normal
They're kind of like a normal thing you

719
00:59:27.639 --> 00:59:30.599
see all the time. You see
outdoor cats, and you see stray cats

720
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:35.559
that you know have not been in
a home, and you see stray dogs,

721
00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:39.440
especially in rural areas, you'll see
them quite a lot. But I

722
00:59:39.519 --> 00:59:43.880
think that might have an effect on
why we have so many more than you

723
00:59:44.039 --> 00:59:46.920
do, because you don't have as
much rural area as we do, do

724
00:59:47.079 --> 00:59:52.679
you No, we don't have as
much space. You know, we were

725
00:59:52.760 --> 00:59:55.800
talking before, you know, like
saying most of your houses are single houses.

726
00:59:57.239 --> 01:00:00.920
You've got front garden, a back
garden, you've got down the side

727
01:00:00.920 --> 01:00:05.320
of each house. And majority of
houses in this country are what we call

728
01:00:05.480 --> 01:00:08.519
terraced houses. So you'd have maybe
six or seven houses in a row.

729
01:00:09.719 --> 01:00:14.639
And that's that's the majority of houses. That's not like every now and again

730
01:00:14.719 --> 01:00:17.800
you'd see it. You're talking majority
of houses in this country are our terrace

731
01:00:17.920 --> 01:00:21.800
I mean, I I deliver for
a living. That's my job now.

732
01:00:21.840 --> 01:00:25.440
And you know I've gone down streets
where you're talking maybe two or three hundred

733
01:00:25.519 --> 01:00:30.119
houses row to row end to end. The entire length of the street,

734
01:00:30.559 --> 01:00:35.079
and it's just not something you see
over there. Everyone will have a back

735
01:00:35.159 --> 01:00:37.840
garden. Don't get me wrong,
it won't be a very big back garden.

736
01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:40.840
It'll be the width of the house. But you know, I mean,

737
01:00:40.920 --> 01:00:44.559
that's another thing. I mean,
my back garden and my front garden,

738
01:00:44.599 --> 01:00:46.360
of both the width of my house. They're not bigger, whereas you

739
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:52.559
tend to find in America, your
gardens are a lot bigger, right Or

740
01:00:52.639 --> 01:00:55.480
you call them a yard, don't
you. Yes, we call them the

741
01:00:55.639 --> 01:01:00.639
yard, the freight yard, the
backyard, side whatever. For us,

742
01:01:01.000 --> 01:01:04.960
we live in this teenytown. You
and I have talked about it before.

743
01:01:05.639 --> 01:01:09.199
Our population is super small. Are
graduating classes here? For the schools in

744
01:01:09.280 --> 01:01:15.159
the town I live in are like
seventy some people. It's very small,

745
01:01:16.440 --> 01:01:20.760
but I still have names, are
kind of clothes. You and I will

746
01:01:20.800 --> 01:01:24.519
have to do a video chat later
so I can show you what our yard

747
01:01:24.679 --> 01:01:30.039
is like. And then my neighbor
has another plot to ore. His yard

748
01:01:30.239 --> 01:01:36.400
is huge. It's so much bigger. That's weirds. But like I say,

749
01:01:36.480 --> 01:01:39.480
that's we're just so used to everyone
having the same size, you know

750
01:01:39.519 --> 01:01:44.320
what I mean, That's how it
is in this country. Everyone you know

751
01:01:44.400 --> 01:01:46.639
everyone down one street, I mean, and the estate I live on.

752
01:01:47.320 --> 01:01:52.440
You do have estates? Know what
a state is for us? In a

753
01:01:52.599 --> 01:01:58.679
state is just a realty property and
a state can be any size. Really

754
01:01:59.719 --> 01:02:05.960
no in the state in this country
is an area. So I live in

755
01:02:06.079 --> 01:02:12.360
Grimsby. Grimsby has maybe ten estates, So there are different sections of Grimsby

756
01:02:12.840 --> 01:02:20.000
that world have a lot of houses. So on my estate there's maybe three

757
01:02:20.760 --> 01:02:24.400
about four hundred houses, maybe maybe
more. Every single house is more or

758
01:02:24.480 --> 01:02:29.800
less the same. There maybe slight
differences, but they're roughly all built exactly

759
01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:32.880
the same. Okay, So I
think I know what you're talking about.

760
01:02:32.920 --> 01:02:37.239
We have something similar. Like a
lot of times here will have something that

761
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:43.840
says like Belmont estates or something like
that. They're not super common, like

762
01:02:43.960 --> 01:02:47.079
they're not scattered all over the place, but there are homes that are all

763
01:02:47.199 --> 01:02:54.360
manufactured in a little neighborhood that are
all very very similar or even exactly the

764
01:02:54.519 --> 01:03:00.599
same. Sometimes there will be a
single house. Most times though it's a

765
01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:07.800
duplex, so they'll be connected by
a garage or something. We'd call that

766
01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:13.800
semi detached. But yeah, yeah, the ease, he's like, it's

767
01:03:13.840 --> 01:03:15.840
almost like, yeah, well,
a house on its own is a detached,

768
01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:21.880
and if there's two together, it's
semi detached. Okay, See it

769
01:03:22.159 --> 01:03:28.440
varies around here because we also have
duplexes that are like there's garage house,

770
01:03:29.960 --> 01:03:34.239
the other house and then another garage
too, because that's a duplex for us

771
01:03:34.320 --> 01:03:37.000
to where the houses are touching.
Yeah, yeah, that makes sense to

772
01:03:37.119 --> 01:03:42.119
where a lot of times the ones
that you say are semi detached, like

773
01:03:42.639 --> 01:03:47.719
if the garage is just touching,
that's kind of more considered like a condo

774
01:03:49.199 --> 01:03:53.400
or a single home. Even.
Yeah, see we don't get we don't

775
01:03:53.440 --> 01:03:58.559
really get stuff like that. We
have it's maybe just detached semi detached them

776
01:03:59.360 --> 01:04:04.840
and said terrace houses and lights.
So we also get um like flats,

777
01:04:05.159 --> 01:04:09.760
so you don't have you do have
flats, but do you call them apartment

778
01:04:09.840 --> 01:04:12.519
block so we call them flats,
right, yeah, the same thing.

779
01:04:13.320 --> 01:04:16.480
Um, so we do. We
don't have that on that basis. We're

780
01:04:16.559 --> 01:04:21.159
quite similar with with that. You
tend to go into bigger city centers or

781
01:04:21.559 --> 01:04:27.920
more densely populated areas than they are
absolutely rife with high rise flats. Oh

782
01:04:28.039 --> 01:04:30.039
yeah, yeah, the bigger populated
areas do have a lot of that,

783
01:04:30.239 --> 01:04:33.559
and even where we live, Like
if I look out my back window,

784
01:04:34.239 --> 01:04:39.639
there's something we call four plexes,
because there's four apartments in each building.

785
01:04:40.360 --> 01:04:45.079
Two upstairs, two downstairs. Yea, and those are everywhere. Call the

786
01:04:45.159 --> 01:04:48.760
floor of those. Huh. If
you've got like you said, you've got

787
01:04:48.760 --> 01:04:54.840
two upstairs, two downstairs, what
floor is the bottom floor? The one

788
01:04:54.880 --> 01:05:00.159
you walk in on is the ground
floor, first floor, and and the

789
01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:03.039
one upstairs, the next one up
is the second floor. Yeah. See

790
01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:09.440
to us, the bottom floor is
exactly the same. It's ground floor.

791
01:05:09.639 --> 01:05:13.760
There's no for the second floor up. That's the first floor. Third floor

792
01:05:13.880 --> 01:05:18.880
up, that's the second floor.
So we almost get rid of it's just

793
01:05:19.039 --> 01:05:24.400
ground floors. It's bottom. Let's
say the bottom floor is not the first

794
01:05:24.440 --> 01:05:27.840
floor. The first floor is actually
the second one up. Okay. So

795
01:05:27.960 --> 01:05:31.280
if you go to a hotel or
something like that, you have ground floor

796
01:05:31.480 --> 01:05:36.719
and then first and four y up
one yeah okay. See for us,

797
01:05:36.800 --> 01:05:42.360
a lot of times you'll push the
buttons on the on the elevator and you'll

798
01:05:42.440 --> 01:05:47.280
see g slash one. Yeah,
and then second floor is the next one

799
01:05:47.400 --> 01:05:55.199
up? Yes, first floor.
Yeah. We also call them left okay,

800
01:05:55.400 --> 01:06:00.360
not elevators. Oh boy, yeah, because they funny little differences.

801
01:06:01.360 --> 01:06:06.760
Yeah, there is. There's definitely
some weird, weird ones. The one

802
01:06:06.840 --> 01:06:14.639
that always got me with weird words
was eggplant. See I've never understood that,

803
01:06:15.400 --> 01:06:18.840
and I know it's completely off topic, but egg You have an eggplant

804
01:06:19.599 --> 01:06:26.280
and zucchini and those two. Really, when I'm listening, I'm like,

805
01:06:26.880 --> 01:06:30.599
what the hell is an eggplant?
But over here we call it an aubergine

806
01:06:32.400 --> 01:06:42.880
aubergine aubergine, and a zucchini is
a courgette. And you also have something

807
01:06:42.960 --> 01:06:47.639
over there called yams. Yeah,
yeah, they're sweet potatoes. Well we

808
01:06:47.800 --> 01:06:53.320
kind of use those energy okay,
yeah, see, we don't use yams

809
01:06:53.360 --> 01:06:59.000
at all. But I found myself
actually saying it once and I was like,

810
01:07:00.000 --> 01:07:00.920
I went into shop, but I
picked it up and I went,

811
01:07:01.079 --> 01:07:05.199
oh my god, it's ae yam, missus about yam. I see yam,

812
01:07:05.599 --> 01:07:09.239
she's a sweet potato. And I
went, do you know what,

813
01:07:09.320 --> 01:07:13.280
I've never seen a sweet potato in
my life. All I've seen is from

814
01:07:13.639 --> 01:07:17.400
TV shows, American TV shows where
they use these things and they call them

815
01:07:17.480 --> 01:07:23.599
yams. So my mind went straight
to it's called yambe no one in this

816
01:07:23.719 --> 01:07:27.280
country calls them yams. So I
was like, I felt a bit stupid

817
01:07:27.360 --> 01:07:33.440
then. But see, it really
depends here who you're talking to. Certain

818
01:07:33.480 --> 01:07:39.159
people will say that they're yams.
Certain people will say that they're sweet potatoes.

819
01:07:39.960 --> 01:07:45.079
Usually from what I noticed since I'm
in the Midwest, Yeah, kind

820
01:07:45.159 --> 01:07:50.719
of like the northeastern corner of the
Midwest. My grandma refers to like the

821
01:07:50.920 --> 01:07:59.159
Thanksgiving dish that we have where it
has like the sweet potatoes with brown sugar

822
01:07:59.280 --> 01:08:04.400
butter and like marshmallows, those she
calls yams. To where if I just

823
01:08:04.599 --> 01:08:10.760
go to the store and get these
sweet potatoes, she calls them sweet potatoes.

824
01:08:11.199 --> 01:08:14.679
So it's like she refers to them
as a dish, not necessarily a

825
01:08:14.840 --> 01:08:19.960
planned so that could be part of
it. But like here, if you

826
01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:26.840
go to the store and you get
canned sweet potatoes or canned yams, that's

827
01:08:26.880 --> 01:08:29.960
another one I find strange with you
guys. Did you call that a can?

828
01:08:30.039 --> 01:08:33.479
Did you get a cannon? Yeah, we call it tin. So

829
01:08:33.680 --> 01:08:39.680
like baked beans, would you call
them canned beans? Yeah? Or I'm

830
01:08:39.720 --> 01:08:43.920
gonna go get some canned food,
you know, the stock up the pantry

831
01:08:44.039 --> 01:08:47.520
or whatever, so I'll get a
can of baked beans. Yeah. See

832
01:08:47.560 --> 01:08:51.439
that's a tin. To us,
a can is fit beer comes in a

833
01:08:51.520 --> 01:08:57.079
can, comes in a can.
We still call that a can. Yeah,

834
01:08:57.279 --> 01:08:59.760
so they but they're completely separate things, you know what I mean,

835
01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:04.279
look completely different. Yeah, it's
it's more a reference to what they're in.

836
01:09:04.800 --> 01:09:10.000
It's still a metal container for whatever
we're using, and that's what we

837
01:09:10.159 --> 01:09:13.000
just say can for that. And
you use the wrong word for the metal

838
01:09:13.039 --> 01:09:21.079
that you have as well. We
pronounce it right, okay, sure about

839
01:09:24.319 --> 01:09:28.880
it. It's aluminium, but it's
um. It's due to the fact that

840
01:09:29.000 --> 01:09:32.720
I always thought to be honest every
time I heard it, and I always

841
01:09:33.279 --> 01:09:36.880
I used to scream at the TV
and you hear someone on an American TV

842
01:09:36.960 --> 01:09:41.680
and they go an aluminum can,
and I shoul scream, he's aluminium,

843
01:09:42.199 --> 01:09:46.279
And you used to get really angry
about it. And I've actually since realized

844
01:09:46.319 --> 01:09:49.640
that you actually spell it differently,
because I always went, how can they

845
01:09:49.720 --> 01:09:56.840
be so stupid to say something and
miss a letter? Not just miss a

846
01:09:56.960 --> 01:09:59.880
letter I really important? Why are
you missing the EU? You should re

847
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:01.960
really annoy me and really bug me. But yeah, like I say,

848
01:10:02.199 --> 01:10:05.359
you know, you guys spell it
differently, But I found that you actually

849
01:10:05.439 --> 01:10:10.600
dropped the letters and it's the same
with things like color. The word color,

850
01:10:10.800 --> 01:10:15.960
you dropped the U in color.
And I found out why. It's

851
01:10:15.000 --> 01:10:19.640
because when the printed press started in
America, you actually used to spell things

852
01:10:19.680 --> 01:10:25.119
exactly the same as we did.
But the printed press in America started charging

853
01:10:25.199 --> 01:10:30.840
per letter, not per word,
and therefore Americans, to save money would

854
01:10:30.880 --> 01:10:34.840
drop certain letters out of words that
weren't necessary. So you know, I

855
01:10:35.159 --> 01:10:39.199
say color, you say color.
I put you in it, you don't,

856
01:10:39.359 --> 01:10:43.159
But there's no difference in the pronunciation, so you've not actually lost anything,

857
01:10:43.680 --> 01:10:47.000
and people putting it in the paper
would save money. So that's why

858
01:10:47.119 --> 01:10:55.800
it changed your How do you spell
aluminum? Then a L U M I

859
01:10:56.199 --> 01:11:02.000
N I M So you don't,
Okay, we took out the I at

860
01:11:02.079 --> 01:11:09.960
the end, yeah, I um
yeah, we just have um yeah aluminum.

861
01:11:10.399 --> 01:11:12.960
Yeah, which is why when I
used to sit there and scream at

862
01:11:12.960 --> 01:11:15.359
the TV go and you're spurning it
wrong. You're spurning it wrong, or

863
01:11:15.399 --> 01:11:17.680
you're saying it wrong. Sorry,
you're actually not saying it wrong, you're

864
01:11:17.680 --> 01:11:20.359
saying it how it spelled. Well, you spell it different to how we

865
01:11:20.439 --> 01:11:28.439
do. So that was the confusion. See, And it's funny because that

866
01:11:28.560 --> 01:11:33.159
makes me think of like the how
we refer to aluminum, especially like the

867
01:11:33.319 --> 01:11:39.520
kitchen kind of aluminum, like tinfoil, aluminum foil. Yeah, that is

868
01:11:39.640 --> 01:11:45.720
different. All over the US,
I might say aluminum foil to where somebody

869
01:11:45.760 --> 01:11:53.960
in the South especial especially might say
like tin foul, like the io L

870
01:11:55.279 --> 01:12:00.159
sound is just ol. Oh,
that's weird. We call it tinfoil.

871
01:12:02.159 --> 01:12:05.560
See, if you listen to like
hillbilly horror stories, you'll see you'll hear

872
01:12:05.680 --> 01:12:13.520
Tracy say certain things like that.
It's just all oh, well, that

873
01:12:13.560 --> 01:12:16.000
would irritate me, I think.
But then a Southern thing. Yeah,

874
01:12:16.199 --> 01:12:19.479
but then I must admit when I
when I watched TV, I do really

875
01:12:19.600 --> 01:12:24.439
like the Southern accent my dad's.
My dad's actually got friends who are from

876
01:12:24.479 --> 01:12:30.600
Tennessee, and yeah, their accent. I love their accent. You could

877
01:12:30.640 --> 01:12:34.159
listen to them all day. Yeah, it's definitely got a got a good

878
01:12:34.239 --> 01:12:39.520
vibe to it. I like that. Have you have you ever listened to

879
01:12:40.239 --> 01:12:45.520
Graveyard Tales? No? No,
I must admit I'm quite I'm quite weird

880
01:12:45.600 --> 01:12:49.439
with my podcast I listened to.
There's literally maybe two or three that I

881
01:12:49.520 --> 01:12:54.560
actually listened to. Might love it. I might have to give that a

882
01:12:54.640 --> 01:13:00.399
listen. Ones from Tennessee and the
others from Texas. Awesome. So they

883
01:13:00.479 --> 01:13:05.119
have that that Southern accent. But
they do really good research and they cover

884
01:13:05.199 --> 01:13:09.920
a lot of the paranormal stuff.
So if you're into that, you'll love

885
01:13:09.960 --> 01:13:14.720
it. Yeah, but those accents, you get to hear how they pronounce

886
01:13:14.840 --> 01:13:19.720
certain words and different little, different
little phrases they use. That's because like

887
01:13:19.880 --> 01:13:24.800
with me being in the West Midwest, some of the things they'll say are

888
01:13:24.880 --> 01:13:28.520
totally like, I have no idea
what they're talking about. Yeah, different,

889
01:13:28.640 --> 01:13:32.640
how you pronounced it right, It's
not even just pronunciation, it's little

890
01:13:32.760 --> 01:13:36.880
phrases they use that I'm just like, what the fund does that mean of

891
01:13:36.920 --> 01:13:43.079
awesome? Wait? Can I swear? Yeah? I've been swearing. Okay,

892
01:13:44.520 --> 01:13:45.640
that just popped into my head.
As soon as I said that,

893
01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:48.920
I was like, you swear all
the time and you'll podcast that need permission?

894
01:13:50.039 --> 01:13:54.119
I absolutely do. But I didn't
know, like if you wanted to

895
01:13:54.319 --> 01:14:00.279
kind of keep your family friends,
no good for it. Speaking of swear

896
01:14:00.319 --> 01:14:04.760
words, go, you have a
word that you guys say very liberally,

897
01:14:05.359 --> 01:14:11.680
there's a big no no here.
We do you do? We do?

898
01:14:11.920 --> 01:14:16.680
Yeah? I don't even say it
unless I'm like angry. That would be

899
01:14:16.800 --> 01:14:24.479
what you guys inavertently called the C
bomb. Yes, yeah, very common

900
01:14:24.560 --> 01:14:32.560
words, very easily used, even
to the point that like stupid things like

901
01:14:34.319 --> 01:14:39.319
I mean, you'd probably you'd probably
kill your husband before it. But it's

902
01:14:39.399 --> 01:14:42.359
simple things like if I if I
get out of shower top and I'll go

903
01:14:42.439 --> 01:14:46.359
to missus, get us a towel
and should be like, why get it

904
01:14:46.479 --> 01:14:50.079
yourself? If I get me?
Fucking how you come that? Sorry to

905
01:14:50.159 --> 01:14:54.720
anybody who doesn't like that word,
but that is and she'd just like,

906
01:14:54.840 --> 01:14:59.680
oh, for god, say she's
gonna do it. But it's not necessarily

907
01:15:00.239 --> 01:15:04.439
I mean, it is a horrible
word, but I don't think we It

908
01:15:04.520 --> 01:15:09.159
depends how it's used. I think
in this country, if you if I

909
01:15:09.800 --> 01:15:13.920
screamed it at somebody, they'd know
it's aggressive. But you can use it

910
01:15:13.960 --> 01:15:18.760
as a term of endearment to an
extent. It's like our word bitch.

911
01:15:19.119 --> 01:15:26.439
Like it like hey bitch, and
yeah, not necessarily always bad, yeah,

912
01:15:26.479 --> 01:15:30.359
but it can be. Yeah.
Yeah. So but I mean you'll

913
01:15:30.399 --> 01:15:32.840
find a lot of a lot of
people hate it, and a lot I

914
01:15:32.880 --> 01:15:36.439
mean, my mum will be cringing
now that she's just certainly say that because

915
01:15:36.560 --> 01:15:41.399
mom hates the word, and a
lot of people do still hate the word.

916
01:15:41.560 --> 01:15:46.159
But yeah, we're just I think
we're we're really we're really laid back

917
01:15:46.199 --> 01:15:48.840
in this country when it comes to
things like that, you know, even

918
01:15:50.000 --> 01:15:55.880
things like you know, like I
was saying in my last episode, drinking

919
01:15:55.920 --> 01:16:00.880
and smoking. You know, I
drink not a lot, but I was

920
01:16:00.920 --> 01:16:04.479
saying the last episode, I sat
there and did did a whole episode with

921
01:16:04.560 --> 01:16:10.000
a bottle of wine. And it's
that sort of in the US, it's

922
01:16:10.079 --> 01:16:14.680
not as you know, you don't
tend to drink casually as much as we

923
01:16:14.840 --> 01:16:18.319
do, you know, going into
shops and buying fags, it's not necessarily

924
01:16:18.399 --> 01:16:21.159
a big you know, it's a
big no note out there. You know,

925
01:16:21.199 --> 01:16:24.920
you sort of get looked at a
bit funny buying cigarettes and things like

926
01:16:24.960 --> 01:16:29.600
that, whereas in this country it's
just really common. It's just everyone.

927
01:16:30.000 --> 01:16:32.560
I mean, it's that sort of
were quite liberal with things like that.

928
01:16:33.720 --> 01:16:40.840
And going on to another political fee. But like gay marriage was no one

929
01:16:40.920 --> 01:16:44.479
cared in this country when they passed
it. You go the odd handful of

930
01:16:44.520 --> 01:16:47.039
people that are like, oh no, that's wrong. But I would say

931
01:16:47.319 --> 01:16:51.279
ninety nine percent of this country just
went yeah, fair enough about bloody time.

932
01:16:53.079 --> 01:16:56.960
It's that whereas America it was like
fifty fifty split. You know,

933
01:16:57.039 --> 01:16:59.159
half of you were like, yeah, it's great, and half of you

934
01:16:59.279 --> 01:17:01.079
were like, no, Gods,
do you know what I mean? It's

935
01:17:01.119 --> 01:17:06.119
that sort of yeah, And I
think where I think again, I do

936
01:17:06.319 --> 01:17:10.720
believe it comes down to religion a
lot in this country. This country is

937
01:17:10.840 --> 01:17:15.720
really not religious at all. You
know, handful handful of religious people in

938
01:17:15.800 --> 01:17:20.159
this country in comparison to the US. You know, you're talking what eight

939
01:17:21.079 --> 01:17:30.039
your population is Christian? Um no? Not um no? If you and

940
01:17:30.279 --> 01:17:35.680
I only know this because of another
show, like the Show's Small Town Murder.

941
01:17:36.119 --> 01:17:40.439
They actually go through like all these
different small towns and say, what,

942
01:17:40.560 --> 01:17:45.479
like the national average is for religious
people, and it's about fifty to

943
01:17:45.600 --> 01:17:50.159
sixty percent are religious. It just
depends. Most of them are like,

944
01:17:50.319 --> 01:17:55.399
yeah, I'm Christian, but I
don't really you know, care what other

945
01:17:55.439 --> 01:17:59.800
people do. I'm gonna mind my
own business. To where some people are

946
01:18:00.560 --> 01:18:04.720
more what we call Bible humpers,
to where they force that on other people.

947
01:18:05.560 --> 01:18:09.680
We do have quite a lot of
those, yeah, I mean we

948
01:18:09.840 --> 01:18:13.840
do as well, but and I
think because we have such a large population,

949
01:18:14.399 --> 01:18:18.600
there's more of them. Yeah,
I mean we do have. Like

950
01:18:19.000 --> 01:18:23.159
let I said, it's just I
think in this country we tend to sort

951
01:18:23.199 --> 01:18:25.920
of we've stepped away from religion a
little bit. I mean we do.

952
01:18:26.279 --> 01:18:30.960
A lot of people are still religious, but I think they're they're more tolerant

953
01:18:31.000 --> 01:18:34.520
religion, if that makes sense.
Do you know what I mean? I

954
01:18:34.600 --> 01:18:38.760
can't force that. Yeah, we
don't tend to have very many of those

955
01:18:39.439 --> 01:18:43.119
that go around and you will convert
to Christianity. Jesus will save you.

956
01:18:43.279 --> 01:18:45.720
You get the odd one or two, but not to the extent that you

957
01:18:46.159 --> 01:18:49.880
have over there. So I think
that's that's something that is a bit different.

958
01:18:51.159 --> 01:18:57.319
See for us, it's normal to
have churches that have missionaries to where

959
01:18:57.359 --> 01:19:04.159
they'll send groups of people to their
countries to convert people. And that's a

960
01:19:04.359 --> 01:19:09.439
very normal thing. A lot of
churches do that. They'll fund like a

961
01:19:09.640 --> 01:19:15.720
trip to Taiwan or you know,
some places where they think are in need

962
01:19:16.680 --> 01:19:26.119
of Christianization. Yeah, we're gradually
getting away from that, but then it's

963
01:19:26.199 --> 01:19:30.840
it's like a flip flop. Little
things pull us back in and then we

964
01:19:30.359 --> 01:19:33.920
work our way out a little bit
to where we're realizing, well, if

965
01:19:34.760 --> 01:19:42.119
one group can have this dominance,
everyone should have the right to. Yeah,

966
01:19:42.279 --> 01:19:45.680
and I do like that we're moving
more in that direction. It is

967
01:19:45.800 --> 01:19:49.880
taking some time, yeah, but
I think we'll eventually get there to where

968
01:19:50.319 --> 01:19:55.880
we're pretty even killed and realized that
we can't force stuff on other people.

969
01:19:56.600 --> 01:19:58.800
No. No, that's the best
way to be, isn't it right?

970
01:19:59.439 --> 01:20:02.239
But I it's just I mean,
there's slight differences between the countries, and

971
01:20:02.520 --> 01:20:05.039
you know, I think we've we've
covered a few of them, aren't we.

972
01:20:05.239 --> 01:20:13.119
Definitely we have covered a few.
There is one that I really wanted

973
01:20:13.199 --> 01:20:18.520
to touch on because this is something
that if somebody comes to America from England

974
01:20:18.720 --> 01:20:24.760
or goes to England from America,
it might it might screw you up a

975
01:20:24.800 --> 01:20:29.840
little bit. And that's the way
you write the date. Yes, date

976
01:20:29.920 --> 01:20:34.039
months year. Yeah, day month
year is how you do it. We

977
01:20:34.239 --> 01:20:40.039
do month, day year. So
if it's in under twelve, if it's

978
01:20:40.079 --> 01:20:43.800
in the first dozen, yes,
you might get a little screwed up in

979
01:20:43.920 --> 01:20:46.880
your legal documents won't be accurate.
Yeah. Like I said, my birthday

980
01:20:46.920 --> 01:20:49.680
is the ninth in November, so
over here, my birthday is nine eleven

981
01:20:51.000 --> 01:20:55.319
right, well to where if you
wrote that over here, that would be

982
01:20:55.359 --> 01:21:00.279
September eleventh exactly, which is a
different date entirely. Yeah, and it's

983
01:21:00.640 --> 01:21:08.880
with my birthday too. I'm January
eighth, so I'm one eight ninety where

984
01:21:08.880 --> 01:21:11.439
if I was over there, I
would have to write eight one nine.

985
01:21:12.479 --> 01:21:15.079
Yeah, they have a difference,
which would be yeah, it is,

986
01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:20.399
because that would be August here,
Yes it would. Yeah, it's weird,

987
01:21:20.720 --> 01:21:25.880
but I say, it's just certain
things that we have slightly different in

988
01:21:25.960 --> 01:21:30.000
cultures, and you know, maybe
you'll catch up with us one day and

989
01:21:30.239 --> 01:21:38.880
I don't realize we're right. Oh
no, there's another one you do that

990
01:21:39.079 --> 01:21:46.880
I thought was so funny. Just
cram one more. In crosswalks, it's

991
01:21:46.880 --> 01:21:53.479
a pavement. Oh no, you're
about zebra zebra crossing, aren't here?

992
01:21:53.560 --> 01:22:00.479
Yeah, yeah, it's called zebra
crossing. It's got black and white stripes

993
01:22:00.520 --> 01:22:03.359
across, which these pedestrians have right
away to a cross. So it's zebra

994
01:22:03.439 --> 01:22:09.000
crossing because it's black and white stripes. Do you actually paint the black on

995
01:22:09.119 --> 01:22:12.800
it? No, it's just a
blacktop. It's no, it's the tarmac.

996
01:22:12.840 --> 01:22:16.399
And then it's white white cross white
lines paint across. Not all of

997
01:22:16.479 --> 01:22:20.880
ours have that. Wow, a
lot of our streets, like I've gone

998
01:22:20.880 --> 01:22:27.239
on streets that still have brick roads. But we don't have the blacktop on

999
01:22:27.399 --> 01:22:29.720
all of our No, we don't
on all of them, but you know

1000
01:22:29.840 --> 01:22:33.359
where the white is that so it
covers that. Yeah, we just have

1001
01:22:33.520 --> 01:22:38.720
crosswalks, and we have them in
larger cities as well, and it's just

1002
01:22:39.079 --> 01:22:45.319
a crosswalk like in Youngstown for example. You'll just have two lines going from

1003
01:22:45.399 --> 01:22:48.079
one side of the road to the
other, and that's the little area you

1004
01:22:48.199 --> 01:22:54.279
walk in to get from one side
of the street to the other. I

1005
01:22:54.439 --> 01:22:57.960
am going to have to wrap it
up there before my dogs decide to kick

1006
01:22:58.000 --> 01:23:00.680
off in a minute, because it's
just coming to the time where people are

1007
01:23:00.680 --> 01:23:04.000
going to come through the house.
That is fine, This was so much

1008
01:23:04.079 --> 01:23:10.439
fun. We'll have to do another
one soon. Yes, because you had

1009
01:23:10.520 --> 01:23:14.000
a big list of things that we
didn't even touch on. No, we'll

1010
01:23:14.039 --> 01:23:17.920
have to do that definitely, So
another episode will be coming very soon.

1011
01:23:18.239 --> 01:23:29.560
Brilliant. Well, thank you for
listening. Now. Obviously, as you

1012
01:23:29.760 --> 01:23:32.680
heard from that, there are so
many things that we plan to touch on

1013
01:23:33.279 --> 01:23:38.000
that we kind of noticed were different, but we really didn't have time.

1014
01:23:39.359 --> 01:23:42.159
There's definitely going to be another part
to this at some point in the future,

1015
01:23:42.960 --> 01:23:45.600
so I do hope you enjoyed this. Let me know what you thought.

1016
01:23:46.319 --> 01:23:49.640
I'll get to social media and stuff
and how you can contact me.

1017
01:23:50.039 --> 01:23:57.760
After the announcement. I wanted to
let you guys know that Shoes, Boos

1018
01:23:57.800 --> 01:24:01.640
and Tattoos is going to be going
through a little bit of a revamp.

1019
01:24:02.399 --> 01:24:08.600
I had this idea a while back, and I talked to my Patreon peeps.

1020
01:24:09.560 --> 01:24:13.279
They're in full support. I also
talked with a few other people like

1021
01:24:13.680 --> 01:24:16.720
Jerry from Hillbilly Horror Stories, and
he's fully on board for the idea.

1022
01:24:16.800 --> 01:24:23.039
He thinks it's a great idea.
Downside is I would have to take a

1023
01:24:23.119 --> 01:24:28.239
little break to get this started.
Shoes, Booze and Tattoos is not going

1024
01:24:28.439 --> 01:24:30.239
anywhere, but there's gonna be a
little bit of a change to it.

1025
01:24:31.199 --> 01:24:36.600
Instead of putting out episodes every two
weeks or when I get the chance,

1026
01:24:36.680 --> 01:24:44.079
like it's been so far, I'm
going to do seasons the seasons I want

1027
01:24:44.119 --> 01:24:47.680
to do. There wouldn't really be
much of a break in between the seasons,

1028
01:24:48.119 --> 01:24:53.720
you know, but I wanted to
take this this show that I do

1029
01:24:54.399 --> 01:24:59.159
where I talk about all these different
genres and have it makes some sort of

1030
01:24:59.319 --> 01:25:03.319
sense, like have some kind of
rhyme or reason. So so far,

1031
01:25:04.640 --> 01:25:10.560
my plan is to do seasons.
I'm not quite sure how many episodes I'm

1032
01:25:10.640 --> 01:25:15.760
going to do in each season.
However, there will be one common theme

1033
01:25:16.359 --> 01:25:21.159
in that season. I'm not sure
yet if I'm going to let you know

1034
01:25:21.319 --> 01:25:26.640
right away what the theme is for
the season, or if I'm going to

1035
01:25:26.880 --> 01:25:30.600
let you kind of see for yourself. That being said, I'm still going

1036
01:25:30.640 --> 01:25:34.119
to cover witchcraft, I'm still going
to cover the paranormal, true crime,

1037
01:25:34.640 --> 01:25:40.600
all of those things. I'm going
to cover all of them, but they

1038
01:25:40.680 --> 01:25:45.960
will all have something in common for
that season. I still have a few

1039
01:25:45.000 --> 01:25:50.520
more episodes I want to put out
before I do this, So over the

1040
01:25:50.640 --> 01:25:57.960
next few weeks there will be more
updates. If you're on Patreon, I'm

1041
01:25:58.039 --> 01:26:00.920
going to keep that up. I'm
just going to skip months so that you

1042
01:26:01.000 --> 01:26:05.399
don't have to pay for it while
I'm on this break. People that are

1043
01:26:05.479 --> 01:26:09.800
on Patreon, you will not be
charged at all, and I will post

1044
01:26:10.000 --> 01:26:13.319
updates in there as to how the
season is going. We give you some

1045
01:26:13.439 --> 01:26:18.760
sneak peaks as to what's to come, but you will not be charged at

1046
01:26:18.840 --> 01:26:27.640
all until I start uploading the season, and then I will give you plenty

1047
01:26:28.039 --> 01:26:31.960
of notice to let you know if
you want to cancel it, that's completely

1048
01:26:32.039 --> 01:26:36.359
fine. But over the next couple
of months, I am going to take

1049
01:26:36.359 --> 01:26:40.920
a little bit of a break at
some point after the next few episodes,

1050
01:26:40.960 --> 01:26:45.159
because I have one sneak peak for
next week. I needed a little extra

1051
01:26:45.239 --> 01:26:49.920
time for that because I fell down
a rabbit hole. Man. It started

1052
01:26:50.279 --> 01:26:56.960
with researching Tommy Knockers and then it
led me to Arizona and down one rabbit

1053
01:26:57.039 --> 01:27:01.239
hole after another after another, and
it's such a great story. I wanted

1054
01:27:01.319 --> 01:27:06.119
to try to include as much as
possible, and it's difficult to do because

1055
01:27:06.199 --> 01:27:14.279
the information for this one isn't really
written down. It's more of a verbal

1056
01:27:14.439 --> 01:27:17.199
history, kind of something that's passed
down through the people. So that will

1057
01:27:17.239 --> 01:27:21.000
be coming very very soon. That's
my next big, big episode. I

1058
01:27:21.039 --> 01:27:25.880
will have more updates on the seasons
and when exactly that break is coming.

1059
01:27:26.039 --> 01:27:30.359
Then I'm also going to be doing
an episode with Leslie Fear. She is

1060
01:27:30.560 --> 01:27:35.960
the author of a bunch of different
books. I had the privilege of reading

1061
01:27:36.039 --> 01:27:40.840
one of her books and I binge
the entire thing in one day. She

1062
01:27:41.000 --> 01:27:45.479
does the Fear of the Week on
Hilbily Horror Stories. She's an awesome,

1063
01:27:45.800 --> 01:27:49.079
amazing, so sweet woman, and
she had a great idea for an episode.

1064
01:27:49.600 --> 01:27:54.119
I'm super excited about it, you
guys. I'll have to wait and

1065
01:27:54.199 --> 01:27:57.199
see for that one, but I'm
going to be having her on with me

1066
01:27:57.319 --> 01:28:00.800
at some point, very very soon, and Noah won't be for the season.

1067
01:28:01.760 --> 01:28:05.680
But I did want to keep you
guys updated as to what's going to

1068
01:28:05.720 --> 01:28:09.840
be happening, because if you're a
listener, and especially if you've listened this

1069
01:28:10.000 --> 01:28:15.520
far, you actually kind of care. If it's somebody that's just listening to

1070
01:28:15.039 --> 01:28:19.000
hear the topic, they're not gonna
have made it this far. With all

1071
01:28:19.039 --> 01:28:25.960
that being said, again, Patreon
people will not be charged, but you'll

1072
01:28:26.000 --> 01:28:30.760
have sneak peaks and updates. I
will continue to post videos, I will

1073
01:28:30.840 --> 01:28:35.680
continue to post updates, little episodes, sneak peaks of what's to come,

1074
01:28:36.439 --> 01:28:42.640
things like that, but you won't
be charged until the first full month of

1075
01:28:42.760 --> 01:28:46.399
episodes, and I will make that
very very clear there. And also we'll

1076
01:28:46.439 --> 01:28:50.880
have updates and let you know when
things are coming out and when that charge

1077
01:28:50.960 --> 01:28:58.000
is going to start. I'm betting
September October, That's what I'm kind of

1078
01:28:58.079 --> 01:29:03.000
betting on, just for the preparation, because I do have to write,

1079
01:29:03.479 --> 01:29:12.640
record, edit and set everything to
start uploading before the season actually uploads,

1080
01:29:12.800 --> 01:29:15.119
you know, before the season actually
starts to be available for all of you.

1081
01:29:15.840 --> 01:29:18.600
So it is going to take a
little bit of time to prepare.

1082
01:29:19.119 --> 01:29:25.279
But this is something I'm very very
excited about. I hope you are too.

1083
01:29:26.439 --> 01:29:29.039
You can let me know what you
think. If you think this is

1084
01:29:29.079 --> 01:29:31.520
a good idea, if you think
that it should just stay the same way

1085
01:29:31.560 --> 01:29:35.279
it is. I mean, that's
we can talk about it. I won't

1086
01:29:35.560 --> 01:29:40.920
get upset either way, of course, but it's something that I think will

1087
01:29:40.920 --> 01:29:44.960
help the show. You know,
definitely let me know what you think.

1088
01:29:45.600 --> 01:29:51.319
You reach me Shoes Boosing Tattoos Facebook

1091

Bye. I'll drink you off the
ground after you've fallen down. And Dad,

1092
01:30:09.079 --> 01:30:15.199
I'm bed time around. It's not
all You're not stand out of space.

1093

I'm waiting in this place to catch
your racing. It's not over.

1094
01:30:21.840 --> 01:30:28.079
I'll make you walk down. I'll
tell you balling time. Dad. I'm

1095
01:30:28.119 --> 01:30:48.079
been time. Don't run. It's
not and I know it's not.
