00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Are you still covered in blood? Callum? Oh, he's eating toast.

2
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:10.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm eating my dinner because I literally, fresh from the

3
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:15.919
<v Speaker 2>cold face said hello to the missus and my little ones,

4
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.079
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, yeah bye, I'm going upstairs to

5
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.280
<v Speaker 2>my hule to record this straight away. I haven't even

6
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.879
<v Speaker 2>taken my jacket off. I'm eating a toasty which replaced

7
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:30.679
<v Speaker 2>regular dinner. I'm covered in blood and the dog absolutely

8
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:33.880
<v Speaker 2>loves it. It's the best thing. It seems to have

9
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.479
<v Speaker 2>slided off now, but yeah, she's probably gone down to

10
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:37.759
<v Speaker 2>lick my bag clean.

11
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:46.079
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome back to Country Slide, where we have

12
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:50.439
<v Speaker 1>Calum as usual here in some sort of state of disarray. Callum,

13
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 1>did you just nod on a podcast? No? No, And

14
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>rather than having the haunted scarecrow that's imbued with a

15
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>spirit of Serties, that is Richard Nigas, we have a

16
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.599
<v Speaker 1>special guest host this week. Would you like to say hello?

17
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.239
<v Speaker 3>Should I say it like negus? If I hold my

18
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.519
<v Speaker 3>nose and speak like this? Do you think do you

19
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 3>think anyone knows a difference?

20
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:22.760
<v Speaker 2>I think I think they might.

21
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 3>Was that not accurate?

22
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.359
<v Speaker 1>There's the lilt of a very exotic accent.

23
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm very exotic baby.

24
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Who are you and where are you from?

25
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 3>I'm Nick Adamson from the Forest of Dean.

26
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:43.040
<v Speaker 1>So previous guest on Country Slide. You may remember Nick

27
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:47.719
<v Speaker 1>from the Positive Forestry episode which I wasn't on because

28
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:49.879
<v Speaker 1>I was being miserable. I was being miserable in the

29
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 1>forest somewhere.

30
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 3>I think that's what for.

31
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>So you're a professional forester, but you're also from You

32
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.760
<v Speaker 1>are a forester from the.

33
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.560
<v Speaker 3>Forest contractor anam from the Forest of Dean. So yeah,

34
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:03.359
<v Speaker 3>proper forester.

35
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>So the Forest of Dean is that in Wales you're.

36
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:11.879
<v Speaker 3>Just trying to annoy. It's not Wales. It's barely England.

37
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:13.159
<v Speaker 2>He's quite good.

38
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of in between, isn't it. It's like the

39
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>bottom bottom right of Wales.

40
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 2>Taint it is.

41
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.680
<v Speaker 3>It's all between Monmouth and the River Seven. It's like

42
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 3>a republic, like an island, but with like no water

43
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 3>all the way around, just trees and wild boar.

44
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever been to the Forest of.

45
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:40.719
<v Speaker 2>Dean Callum, Yeah, Yeah, I've been. I've been to the

46
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.960
<v Speaker 2>wire fishing in the around that area, and I've been

47
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.800
<v Speaker 2>to the all the the pubs and whatnot. Yeah, I

48
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 2>did not all the pubs, but some of the pubs

49
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:56.000
<v Speaker 2>that exist have been to them, but though they're quite seasonal,

50
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.080
<v Speaker 2>which is some of them only open for a few

51
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 2>months of the year and what not. But yeah, I've done.

52
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.120
<v Speaker 2>I've done the Forest of Dean. I fished the river

53
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:12.360
<v Speaker 2>y never caught a bible, which was incredibly disappointing. But yeah,

54
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:17.319
<v Speaker 2>I've been to the area. All I remember is that

55
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.680
<v Speaker 2>the roads, like you wouldn't want a car that you'd

56
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.159
<v Speaker 2>like to keep for any length of time, Like I

57
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:29.120
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't buy a car from the Forest of Dean as

58
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 2>the handbrake would have been tested quite a lot for

59
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 2>any parking clutch, and and I would definitely be checking

60
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.960
<v Speaker 2>the underneath. There's like I remember at one point just

61
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.719
<v Speaker 2>scraping the entire bottom of the car just to get

62
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:49.520
<v Speaker 2>to the AIRB and B and that was like the

63
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>only access road in And I was like, hm hmm, strange.

64
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>So when you were in the Forest of Dean, did

65
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.919
<v Speaker 1>you acquire your fern ticket? Is that? Am I saying

66
00:03:58.919 --> 00:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>that correct?

67
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 3>You are indeed saying that correct.

68
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:03.319
<v Speaker 1>What is a fern ticket? Can you explain it to

69
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the boys and girls at home? The fer and ticket

70
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 1>is whilst keeping your job and things.

71
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 3>I employed myself. I'll keep my job. It is a

72
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.560
<v Speaker 3>fer and ticket is if you haven't amorous young couple,

73
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.399
<v Speaker 3>they want to get a bit more amorous a young

74
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 3>man or you know, two young ladies or two young men.

75
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.560
<v Speaker 3>We don't judge. It's modern times. You can go into

76
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.839
<v Speaker 3>the wood and you can acquire your fern ticket and

77
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.000
<v Speaker 3>I'll leave you to decide how that is acquired.

78
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what. My mind went straight to the

79
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.879
<v Speaker 2>gutter when you said that, and it was it was

80
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.800
<v Speaker 2>actually the correct thing to guess. So there we are. Yeah.

81
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Is it something that's openly talked about everybody's proud of,

82
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>just some sort of thing that is it something you're

83
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.920
<v Speaker 1>asked about when you're about sixteen or twenty one, just.

84
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.079
<v Speaker 3>Sort of when you first start going to pubs when

85
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.879
<v Speaker 3>you're like fifteen, the fronk ticket becomes a thing.

86
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Because I've got a bit of an obsession with the

87
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Forest of Dean because well, being from Cornwall, I feel

88
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:18.920
<v Speaker 1>like we have a sort of a kinship of being

89
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:20.639
<v Speaker 1>stuck out in the arts end of nowhere, in a

90
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.480
<v Speaker 1>very rural place with not much to do, and it's

91
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 1>got very unique culture. So I do I like the

92
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Forest of Dean a lot, and I don't know, I

93
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:34.959
<v Speaker 1>don't know why I've got this affinity with it because

94
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.839
<v Speaker 1>I've only I've only spent about three weeks there in

95
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:41.240
<v Speaker 1>my throughout the entirety of my life.

96
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.639
<v Speaker 3>It is definitely a unique place. I love it. I mean,

97
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 3>I've lived in Scotland for about three and a half

98
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.720
<v Speaker 3>years and I well, I'd love being there, but I

99
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 3>couldn't wait to get back. It's a whole minute. And

100
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 3>I think a lot of people, like if you're from Cornwall,

101
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 3>Essex orherever ours, I think homes are always home in it.

102
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.000
<v Speaker 3>But it is sort of I know everyone and I

103
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:06.120
<v Speaker 3>know everywhere. I probably know where Can scraped his car.

104
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:14.399
<v Speaker 2>There's multiple basses, all of them.

105
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:16.439
<v Speaker 1>So what's this business with the bears?

106
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.720
<v Speaker 3>The bears? I know we're going to talk about the bears.

107
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:21.399
<v Speaker 1>We have to talk about the bears if we did

108
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the Dean, and we need to explain.

109
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:25.560
<v Speaker 3>I think it's the thing that everybody knows about the

110
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.240
<v Speaker 3>Dean is like who killed the bear or it was

111
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.279
<v Speaker 3>Cinderford lads who killed the bear? It was us because

112
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.839
<v Speaker 3>I'm from Cinderford, and the story goes so it's like

113
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.920
<v Speaker 3>the eighteen eighties, I think it was. So it was

114
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.920
<v Speaker 3>a French circus came today and they had dancing bears,

115
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.720
<v Speaker 3>and the dancing bears attacked a child or something, and

116
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 3>then they moved the circus up to Ruin Dean and

117
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:56.120
<v Speaker 3>these Cindford lads for the circus killed the bears, got

118
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.680
<v Speaker 3>arrested and then somehow lost in the strands of time.

119
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Everyone from Rudine got blamed for it. And then there's

120
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:08.560
<v Speaker 3>this supposed rivalry then, which I don't think anyone really

121
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 3>cares to be a quite as you. But that's the story.

122
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.439
<v Speaker 1>So is it true that people used to run into

123
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.319
<v Speaker 1>the pub in Rudine and then shout who killed the bears?

124
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:19.920
<v Speaker 1>And then get chased down the street?

125
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:24.079
<v Speaker 3>Possibly before my time? I've never done it. I've lived

126
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:25.800
<v Speaker 3>in both places and I've never been chased.

127
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Have you chased people?

128
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:28.920
<v Speaker 3>Not for that reason?

129
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Good Artswer?

130
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:37.519
<v Speaker 3>You know this is public so it's not.

131
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:40.720
<v Speaker 2>That was my phone ticket?

132
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:43.360
<v Speaker 3>Give it back?

133
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.319
<v Speaker 1>We Uh, yeah, we've got some interesting pockets out there

134
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.959
<v Speaker 1>in the UK, haven't we. When you go out to

135
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.319
<v Speaker 1>some strange places, I mean Calum and I on every

136
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.199
<v Speaker 1>phone call pretty much end up exchange. He exchanges a

137
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>little bit of law with me about the backstory of Callum.

138
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:09.959
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, usually left scratching your head for a little bit, okay.

139
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:11.319
<v Speaker 1>And every now and again there's something he says and

140
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I say, no, don't finish that story. You can finish

141
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.720
<v Speaker 1>it on the podcast. So now i'd like you to

142
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.560
<v Speaker 1>tell me why you got involved in basket weaving.

143
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, you like that one.

144
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 1>It's not a normal story, Callum.

145
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so it because I think the point that I

146
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:39.559
<v Speaker 2>was making is how how often we're we're people greet

147
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:46.039
<v Speaker 2>us with opportunities of plenty and instead of taking them,

148
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:49.440
<v Speaker 2>instead of taking them, we kind of put two fingers

149
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:56.000
<v Speaker 2>up to the man. It's just going no, no, and

150
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.519
<v Speaker 2>one touch occasion, a gentleman k into my college class

151
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.200
<v Speaker 2>and we'd not long been doing film studies and we'd

152
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.720
<v Speaker 2>watch The Wickerman. So this gentleman asked me if I

153
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.799
<v Speaker 2>would like to and if you haven't seen The Wickerman.

154
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:19.279
<v Speaker 2>It's an old film. It is it Cornwall somewhere Scott, Yeah,

155
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:25.480
<v Speaker 2>close enough, not geographically, I know that anyway. It's some

156
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:29.720
<v Speaker 2>backwards place. We haven't offended anyone since like for two weeks,

157
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:33.080
<v Speaker 2>so it's some backwards place. Could be Cornwall, could be Scotland.

158
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:33.639
<v Speaker 1>Brilliant.

159
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, they they take a person, put them into a

160
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:43.840
<v Speaker 2>giant Wickerman and then set them on fire in a

161
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:49.639
<v Speaker 2>sort of a sacrifice, and that's the weird, messed up

162
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:53.919
<v Speaker 2>premise of the film and Outsider and he gets he

163
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:58.159
<v Speaker 2>gets set on fire. So I decided this gentleman that

164
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.679
<v Speaker 2>came to us he wanted to rich our lives in college.

165
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:08.840
<v Speaker 2>So my suggestion he wanted extracurricular activities was wicker was

166
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:12.240
<v Speaker 2>wicker basket weaving. I said, I want to make and

167
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.759
<v Speaker 2>I want to make things out of wicker and he

168
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:19.519
<v Speaker 2>was like, what an excellent idea, callum, I will write

169
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:22.399
<v Speaker 2>that down, and he wrote that down. And there was

170
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:25.799
<v Speaker 2>also other things that was like after college people played

171
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:29.200
<v Speaker 2>football and stuff, and do you know, fast forward about

172
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:33.440
<v Speaker 2>six months and all the florestry students they all took

173
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 2>up the wicker basket making, as did other people from

174
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.159
<v Speaker 2>outside of the college. So they're just regular people thought

175
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.960
<v Speaker 2>it was a fantastic activity, and all of the enrichment

176
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:49.399
<v Speaker 2>classes dropped off within the year, except for wicker basket making,

177
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:54.480
<v Speaker 2>which was a roaring success at Harlow College. All because

178
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.519
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to be a complete dick and suggest the

179
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:03.559
<v Speaker 2>idea that we've burned some in a wicker basket or

180
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:09.799
<v Speaker 2>wicker man. Yeah, that's the story.

181
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.360
<v Speaker 1>These are not normal stories, callum, and think of the

182
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.279
<v Speaker 1>legacy that you leave behind you across the nation as

183
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:19.720
<v Speaker 1>you go through. Because Hm, I don't want to say

184
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:22.720
<v Speaker 1>that you've matured, but I think you've just become more

185
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.159
<v Speaker 1>elaborate and more sophisticated in your shit housery.

186
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:30.039
<v Speaker 2>Shit housary was the word I was sort of had

187
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.399
<v Speaker 2>in my mind. But yeah, this ship housery has never stupped.

188
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:36.360
<v Speaker 2>It just just takes on different four gets refined.

189
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

190
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, even just like do you just do micro shit housery,

191
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:46.919
<v Speaker 2>like just say say this is this is a search

192
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:49.799
<v Speaker 2>term that we could definitely capitalize on because we possibly

193
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:53.519
<v Speaker 2>could be the first people to ever suggest micro shit

194
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:58.000
<v Speaker 2>housery as a as a term. But like I often

195
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:03.840
<v Speaker 2>replace our fresco and our dente, So I just swapped

196
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.399
<v Speaker 2>them out just just to piss people off. So if like,

197
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.840
<v Speaker 2>if we're going out to eat outside, I'll say, oh, yeah,

198
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:15.039
<v Speaker 2>come on, let's eat our dente, or I'll you know,

199
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.559
<v Speaker 2>you take some pasta and say that's perfect. It's just

200
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:23.080
<v Speaker 2>our Fresco and just micro shit housery brings such joy

201
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.919
<v Speaker 2>to my life every time, every time I do it,

202
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:27.960
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, embrace it.

203
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.679
<v Speaker 1>Like an intentional del boy from Only Fools and Horses,

204
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:31.080
<v Speaker 1>aren't you?

205
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah, just as long as you can see people

206
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.960
<v Speaker 2>with slight discomfort, that's that's energy giving to me, you know.

207
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, following on from last week's discussion about

208
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:46.720
<v Speaker 1>special educational needs, do you think people sort of look

209
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.600
<v Speaker 1>at you and think, oh, bless Oh.

210
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I'm surprised there isn't like a sort of

211
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:55.120
<v Speaker 2>go fund me page just for me.

212
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.240
<v Speaker 1>When you go around the supermarket. Do they have the

213
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:00.240
<v Speaker 1>collection team that you can point to and go that's

214
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:00.440
<v Speaker 1>for me?

215
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.879
<v Speaker 2>That one I find on shoe days because I'm not

216
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.600
<v Speaker 2>wearing tweed as well. Not only do people.

217
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.559
<v Speaker 1>Backward because you're not wearing tweed, well.

218
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Well they always think I'm cold and also just a

219
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:19.000
<v Speaker 2>little bit like they oh, poor you. You just get like

220
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:22.399
<v Speaker 2>this this sympathetic tone, like they want to crazy with

221
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.159
<v Speaker 2>you in their arms and give you a little hug,

222
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.879
<v Speaker 2>maybe bring you inside and give you soup. Yeah, you're

223
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:32.120
<v Speaker 2>like a you Okay, Oh, it must be a hard day,

224
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.720
<v Speaker 2>do you know what I pull that licking.

225
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:36.639
<v Speaker 3>And those get the image in my head. I don't.

226
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.919
<v Speaker 3>I don't even remember Calm Richard. You might back in

227
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:41.840
<v Speaker 3>the seventies and eighties and used to get these like

228
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.279
<v Speaker 3>collection tins in off licenses. And I don't want to

229
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.279
<v Speaker 3>say the word because I'll get told off and thrown out.

230
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.120
<v Speaker 3>But that's the image I have in my head.

231
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.200
<v Speaker 1>It is it the word we used to use at school,

232
00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:58.080
<v Speaker 1>all right, not in a Nigel, but anyway, every day.

233
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:00.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm thinking of the penny going down through the thing,

234
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:07.519
<v Speaker 3>and it's a penny for color, I'll take it.

235
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.399
<v Speaker 1>And if you know which charity team we're referring to listeners,

236
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.320
<v Speaker 1>please write in to info that country.

237
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:13.919
<v Speaker 2>Do.

238
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's see if we can get our email account frozen.

239
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>This is the thing, though, there's an element of working

240
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.279
<v Speaker 1>in sort of land based industries, particularly when you're younger

241
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.320
<v Speaker 1>and you've been left alone with machinery in the middle

242
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:35.120
<v Speaker 1>of nowhere to do stuff. It normally takes about forty

243
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:38.600
<v Speaker 1>five minutes at least, but then something happens, doesn't it

244
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:40.519
<v Speaker 1>Normally like you get enough of the job done and

245
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:44.000
<v Speaker 1>then you start messing around or is that just me?

246
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:46.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it might be just you.

247
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:51.200
<v Speaker 2>I think, well, I think Nick's actually got a serious

248
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:53.039
<v Speaker 2>job that he needs to do, and he's probably got

249
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:56.559
<v Speaker 2>quotas to feel. You just you just have a career

250
00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.279
<v Speaker 2>where you just sort of your career is like a

251
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:03.399
<v Speaker 2>random career generators, like spinning a wheel and then which

252
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:06.120
<v Speaker 2>one would you which one would you play today? Oh,

253
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be a carpenter. Wow, I best get

254
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:14.600
<v Speaker 2>the gloves from the shed.

255
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.279
<v Speaker 1>It's just adhd, isn't it. But it's also you end

256
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:20.240
<v Speaker 1>up having. If you want to run your own business,

257
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:22.600
<v Speaker 1>you end up having to do about twenty different things anyway,

258
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:25.879
<v Speaker 1>become sort of slightly half asked and competent at all

259
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:30.559
<v Speaker 1>of them in order to survive, you know how much.

260
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:36.159
<v Speaker 3>Because I run my business with my mate. What we've

261
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:38.919
<v Speaker 3>done is I get the work, and he makes sure

262
00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:45.200
<v Speaker 3>we can keep doing it. So I still get so

263
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:47.879
<v Speaker 3>he repairs everything because I'm not so hot of that,

264
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:53.120
<v Speaker 3>and I'm charming as anything, obviously, and so I get

265
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:56.120
<v Speaker 3>all the work, and I do all the secretary of

266
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.159
<v Speaker 3>stuff cause I love better and a skirt and stuff

267
00:15:58.200 --> 00:15:58.559
<v Speaker 3>like that.

268
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:04.600
<v Speaker 2>So you're the Richard nigis to the You're to the

269
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:10.399
<v Speaker 2>Richard and gould Show and Gold. You never see Gordy

270
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.519
<v Speaker 2>dear No, because he's busy doing all the work.

271
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Are you the one that talks to the nice man

272
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.080
<v Speaker 1>from Strutton Parker who's wearing the he's wearing the very

273
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>nice cords and got the.

274
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:27.799
<v Speaker 3>Clipbook and we negotiate prices and things like that, and

275
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:30.600
<v Speaker 3>then Mark knows why why did you do that?

276
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:35.960
<v Speaker 2>What I really like in my in my head is

277
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:39.120
<v Speaker 2>that that you're sitting there talking and then your business

278
00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:41.559
<v Speaker 2>partner's over there just doing the really hard stuff, but

279
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.399
<v Speaker 2>just completely unable to communicate and just grunting while like

280
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:50.720
<v Speaker 2>chainsawing different bits, and you're just sort of looking looking

281
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:54.320
<v Speaker 2>prim and proper, while well, he gets the real stuff done.

282
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:57.360
<v Speaker 3>And you met me prim and proper.

283
00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:02.000
<v Speaker 2>No, in my head, I should imagine, imagine. I like

284
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:04.079
<v Speaker 2>the way that you took that as quite a literal thing,

285
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:06.640
<v Speaker 2>and you didn't disagree with anything other than you weren't

286
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:07.440
<v Speaker 2>prim and proper.

287
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:10.960
<v Speaker 3>But the Mark would be drinking tea waiting for this

288
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.880
<v Speaker 3>to be sorted out. Which is the correct.

289
00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Thing to do it is? I mean, you can never

290
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:18.119
<v Speaker 1>finish tea before the end of the.

291
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Day, should you. Your flash should be empty after dinner time.

292
00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Really, I always save a bit the morning coffee is

293
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:26.759
<v Speaker 1>always there in the for the afternoon.

294
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:28.480
<v Speaker 2>What times dinner time?

295
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:37.319
<v Speaker 1>Halfway when you remember, Yeah, it depends how the day

296
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:37.680
<v Speaker 1>is going.

297
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:42.160
<v Speaker 3>Trouble is when you're planting. For all, I really like planting.

298
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.160
<v Speaker 3>I am very much in the minority. It is quite boring,

299
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:49.279
<v Speaker 3>so I can't have ear pods and listen to music

300
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:52.279
<v Speaker 3>or podcasts or something like that. So I'm pretty much

301
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:54.599
<v Speaker 3>away of the fairies for most of the day, in

302
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:56.200
<v Speaker 3>my own head with my own thoughts, which is a

303
00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:59.599
<v Speaker 3>scary place to be. So I very often get to

304
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.640
<v Speaker 3>sort to clock and think hungry. I wonder what time

305
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:02.920
<v Speaker 3>it is?

306
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh ship, I think they call that a flow state

307
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:13.839
<v Speaker 2>in the Yeah. I think you just you just so,

308
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:20.119
<v Speaker 2>you don't listen to anything, You just raw dog planting stuff.

309
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:22.279
<v Speaker 2>How does what does that look like?

310
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:24.119
<v Speaker 1>Because that is alien?

311
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:29.799
<v Speaker 3>Is I just I've got I don't know. I just

312
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:31.599
<v Speaker 3>like being in my own head. There's lots of voices

313
00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:33.359
<v Speaker 3>in there. It's brilliant. You can have you can have

314
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.200
<v Speaker 3>a massive commison, you can have quite a good conversation.

315
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:41.960
<v Speaker 3>It's it's like a town hall in my head. And

316
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:44.759
<v Speaker 3>there's lots of different people. There's lots of different opinions.

317
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:48.559
<v Speaker 3>I'm not always agreeing with each other. I love it.

318
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:51.240
<v Speaker 2>I just want you to know this is a safe

319
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:52.519
<v Speaker 2>space and you can tell.

320
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:57.039
<v Speaker 1>Us anything recorded or shared with like five thousand people

321
00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:57.480
<v Speaker 1>or anything.

322
00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:59.880
<v Speaker 3>And it's not safe as the Forestry WhatsApp chat though,

323
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:02.039
<v Speaker 3>which is the safest of same places.

324
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.839
<v Speaker 1>No, I mean patrons may remember Nick from half of

325
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:13.599
<v Speaker 1>the message notifications on your phone. Callum, can you ask

326
00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:15.680
<v Speaker 1>me about my truck?

327
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:20.319
<v Speaker 2>I was literally just about to give you, give you

328
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:23.599
<v Speaker 2>the full thing. If I could turn the camera around

329
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:27.720
<v Speaker 2>to you could see it, says ask about truck.

330
00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes, because I've touched on it in previous episodes. But

331
00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:34.480
<v Speaker 1>now we need to explain the full sarga because also

332
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:38.119
<v Speaker 1>you two both sort of like vehicles, and you know,

333
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:40.759
<v Speaker 1>you are practical and like Richard Nigas who just goes

334
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:43.240
<v Speaker 1>to buy a thing and then drives it to places

335
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:45.319
<v Speaker 1>and anybody's broken gets a man in to fix it.

336
00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:49.279
<v Speaker 1>I've had this truck for about fifteen years now, I

337
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.000
<v Speaker 1>do Zoo Trooper. It's on two hundred and thirty thousand

338
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.559
<v Speaker 1>miles old three point one diesel engine. So this before

339
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:02.000
<v Speaker 1>before ECUs, No computers in it. Everything's mechanical nineteen ninety

340
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:05.960
<v Speaker 1>four plate as well, so it's thirty two years old

341
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and I've ever been half the life. Yeah, and when

342
00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I bought it for four hundred pounds from a farmer,

343
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:15.200
<v Speaker 1>half of it was missing. Basically you can tell which

344
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:17.359
<v Speaker 1>bit I was working on in which year based on

345
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:19.839
<v Speaker 1>how good my welds are, because I learned to weld

346
00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:24.960
<v Speaker 1>on this chassis and the bodywork. And just before Christmas,

347
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:26.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, we had to go in for the mot

348
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:28.200
<v Speaker 1>and I started poking at some of the mud and

349
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:30.359
<v Speaker 1>realized it was just mud. There was no there was

350
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:32.799
<v Speaker 1>no metal behind there where I thought there was, so

351
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:34.920
<v Speaker 1>it was just that. And then I thought, well, I'll

352
00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:36.440
<v Speaker 1>do a bit of welding. And then every time I

353
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:40.039
<v Speaker 1>took off the mud that was covering the hole next

354
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.000
<v Speaker 1>to where I was working, I discovered another whole a

355
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:45.400
<v Speaker 1>bit further on. And I think I've shared some photos

356
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:50.279
<v Speaker 1>with you. It looked like lace basically in a few places.

357
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:53.240
<v Speaker 1>And I've been towing some quite heavy things like mini

358
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:57.200
<v Speaker 1>diggers and chippers and stuff with this, so it's been alarming.

359
00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:01.200
<v Speaker 2>And this is things you've weld's mostly yourself.

360
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:06.079
<v Speaker 1>No, they were the original Japanese steel, so you know,

361
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:09.880
<v Speaker 1>blame the Japanese for this, I think, But.

362
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:15.519
<v Speaker 2>God, could we can offend Cornwall, Japan and Scotland. This

363
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:17.160
<v Speaker 2>could be the best episode yet.

364
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean ever since that that pasty based Hagis Sushi

365
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:28.559
<v Speaker 1>bar incident. God, that was that was difficult, wasn't it?

366
00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:31.279
<v Speaker 1>That was terrible? I should try doing comedy one day.

367
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:37.720
<v Speaker 1>So welded on this. Yeah, I've put about thirty hours

368
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:39.640
<v Speaker 1>into this truck because I've had to re weld half

369
00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:42.599
<v Speaker 1>the chassis. It's bloody solid Now it looks really good.

370
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:45.519
<v Speaker 1>Remay made a new Winch bumper for the front, for

371
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.400
<v Speaker 1>the back, fabricated everything. I've sent Calum some photos. It

372
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:49.880
<v Speaker 1>does actually look half decent.

373
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you've you've got a patchwork quilt of a car

374
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:56.400
<v Speaker 2>and it does look all right.

375
00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:58.440
<v Speaker 1>It does. It's a bit it's like the ship of

376
00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:01.400
<v Speaker 1>theseus or triggers boom, depends on your reference. But it's

377
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:04.359
<v Speaker 1>all there and it's all legal and safe. So I

378
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:08.599
<v Speaker 1>booked it in for its mot local place, well the

379
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:10.720
<v Speaker 1>local chain, and I won't say which one, but it's

380
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:12.519
<v Speaker 1>the one that's about to go bust that begins with

381
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:17.880
<v Speaker 1>a and ends in ts or a Master. They're local

382
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:20.519
<v Speaker 1>one that I've been going through for years. They're just

383
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:23.880
<v Speaker 1>not operating now. So I had to get booked in

384
00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:27.119
<v Speaker 1>a place called Real, right on the coast. Real is

385
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:32.559
<v Speaker 1>like our Colford. I suppose you could say Nick for Calum.

386
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:41.160
<v Speaker 1>It's I don't know, yes, interesting. But the went all

387
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:43.640
<v Speaker 1>the way up there, drove up half an hour away,

388
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:46.279
<v Speaker 1>drove all the way there get their first thing on

389
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Saturday morning, went to see dropped it off with the guys,

390
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:51.759
<v Speaker 1>and I thought, I'm going to hang around just to

391
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:56.000
<v Speaker 1>see how this goes, because I'm still nervous about whether

392
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:57.599
<v Speaker 1>it's going to get through the mot or whether it's

393
00:22:57.640 --> 00:22:59.839
<v Speaker 1>just going to walk out and shelut at me. And

394
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:03.559
<v Speaker 1>the guy comes out and it's a It's a guy

395
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:05.400
<v Speaker 1>used to be the mot testerer at the other place.

396
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:07.559
<v Speaker 1>He's done the mot on it five times out of

397
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:10.079
<v Speaker 1>the last six years. Brilliant, he knows the car, he's

398
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:13.079
<v Speaker 1>familiar with it, he's familiar with me. Great, went through

399
00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:17.200
<v Speaker 1>the mot absolutely fine, two advisories, pitted break discs, everything else.

400
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:20.559
<v Speaker 1>Very complimentary on the chassis and everything else. The factor

401
00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:24.920
<v Speaker 1>drowned it in a lot of underbody sealant probably helped,

402
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:29.079
<v Speaker 1>but you know, yeah, Nice went through it all, chatted

403
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:31.519
<v Speaker 1>to the bloke, chatted to them about their redundancies, their

404
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:35.559
<v Speaker 1>future lives, their kids, everything, you know, long long conversation,

405
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:40.240
<v Speaker 1>and I'm very happy it's past mot brilliant, my pride

406
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:43.559
<v Speaker 1>and joy. He just says, oh, I'll back it out

407
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:50.559
<v Speaker 1>of the mot bay for you. Oh. Nice gets into it,

408
00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:55.680
<v Speaker 1>reverses and reverses it straight back into a customer's car,

409
00:23:57.079 --> 00:23:59.720
<v Speaker 1>nails down the side of this customer's car. There twenty

410
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:04.799
<v Speaker 1>four plate forward. I reckon. It's probably caused about eight

411
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:09.680
<v Speaker 1>to ten grands worth of damage on the car me

412
00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:16.920
<v Speaker 1>having passed my Amot about six minutes previously. Fortunately, due

413
00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:20.799
<v Speaker 1>to my very well made new rear bumper and winge bumper,

414
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:24.880
<v Speaker 1>my car is absolutely fine. It's just got a scuff

415
00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:28.119
<v Speaker 1>on the bumper. But he's just he's nailed a trench

416
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:30.319
<v Speaker 1>down the side car.

417
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:34.359
<v Speaker 3>Listeners, because I've sitten the photo of the back of

418
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.480
<v Speaker 3>your try when you say bumper, they should visualize girder.

419
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:40.880
<v Speaker 1>It's five mili mile steel in places, yeah, all.

420
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:41.440
<v Speaker 3>Of the places.

421
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Ah, okay, it weighs more than calum And when we

422
00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:53.720
<v Speaker 2>say ford are we are? We talking Fiesta. Are we

423
00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:55.759
<v Speaker 2>talking Ranger?

424
00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Something is something a bit more expensive? Yeah? I think

425
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:01.759
<v Speaker 1>I think he may have written off a customer's car

426
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:02.839
<v Speaker 1>with my Winch bumper.

427
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.079
<v Speaker 2>And how does that work in insure?

428
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:09.799
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea because I wasn't driving. It was

429
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:13.799
<v Speaker 1>insured because I maintained the insurance and tax, and it

430
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:17.279
<v Speaker 1>was in mot because he just emotied it. I was

431
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:18.240
<v Speaker 1>holding the piece of paper.

432
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, of course.

433
00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:23.240
<v Speaker 1>So when he reversed into this guy's car, I watched

434
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:25.440
<v Speaker 1>it happen because I just, you know, I'm completely numb

435
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:27.119
<v Speaker 1>to everything at this point, and I just watched it

436
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:29.880
<v Speaker 1>happen and all right, okay, fine.

437
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it's not you problem, is it?

438
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:34.319
<v Speaker 1>So?

439
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Happy days?

440
00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:37.839
<v Speaker 1>He went in and told his boss. His boss came

441
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:41.720
<v Speaker 1>out and picked up his coffee mug and yeated it

442
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:46.519
<v Speaker 1>across the yard when he saw what happened. And yeah,

443
00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:49.039
<v Speaker 1>I just turned to my said, can I go? Do

444
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:52.119
<v Speaker 1>I need to be here for this? Is this? Is

445
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.480
<v Speaker 1>this a me problem? Is it an ATS problem? You're

446
00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:56.440
<v Speaker 1>going so.

447
00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:58.920
<v Speaker 2>It'll all work out in the liquidation.

448
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:02.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's the thing, is like their companies are still

449
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:04.799
<v Speaker 1>going to exist when they're claiming against it.

450
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:06.319
<v Speaker 3>I don'd very top of.

451
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:13.400
<v Speaker 1>No, but I was a witness to it. There's very

452
00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:18.799
<v Speaker 1>little evidence of damage on my truck. I can highly

453
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:23.039
<v Speaker 1>recommend the Buzzworld DTM Direct Metal paint though as a

454
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:26.359
<v Speaker 1>armor all for mild steel.

455
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:33.119
<v Speaker 2>And this week's sponsor, So this is this week's episode

456
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:34.240
<v Speaker 2>is brought to you by.

457
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah hashtag Built on Board.

458
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:39.920
<v Speaker 2>But this is well, that was excellent.

459
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I thought, yeah, you'd like that one. But keeping older

460
00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:45.640
<v Speaker 1>stuff on the road is starting to make more sense,

461
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:49.799
<v Speaker 1>particularly with current issues, because the tax for most vehicles,

462
00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean for some vehicles it's jumping up by about

463
00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:56.279
<v Speaker 1>two I think in some cases it's going to be

464
00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:00.359
<v Speaker 1>over six hundred quid for tax for certain old end eines,

465
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:05.480
<v Speaker 1>isn't it? And a larger engines because I'm based on

466
00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:08.839
<v Speaker 1>emissions and I don't know what a diesel price is

467
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:10.160
<v Speaker 1>like with you guys at the moment.

468
00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:16.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, I came back from Crufts the other day down

469
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:21.599
<v Speaker 2>the M six and obviously you know that I don't know.

470
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:26.400
<v Speaker 2>There's certain statistic people that work at the pricing structures

471
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:29.519
<v Speaker 2>of all these garages and there was like one eighty

472
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:32.799
<v Speaker 2>at the Shell garage near the M six for diesel.

473
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:41.759
<v Speaker 2>So it was insane. But what's some the scariest stuff

474
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:46.559
<v Speaker 2>is there's certain shortages that go on just because of

475
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:52.759
<v Speaker 2>things that happen that make prices of stuff absolutely wild.

476
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Do you know about the great hay shortage? Probably got

477
00:27:58.200 --> 00:28:01.240
<v Speaker 2>a bit of hay around the forest Dean, Yes, But

478
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:06.160
<v Speaker 2>hay price right now is wild.

479
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:11.559
<v Speaker 1>Man inflicted with horses.

480
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:17.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, Honestly, at this point, it's just like we'll

481
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:19.680
<v Speaker 2>just wait for the grass to grow. And most people

482
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:24.240
<v Speaker 2>are just like, we're We've got some grass, so it's fine,

483
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:28.799
<v Speaker 2>But it would be good to give them hay. At

484
00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:31.079
<v Speaker 2>the moment, we're just giving them a bit more fiber

485
00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:36.880
<v Speaker 2>and stuff. But I just delved into the rabbit hole

486
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:41.359
<v Speaker 2>of trying to get it. Like, if you need hay,

487
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:44.000
<v Speaker 2>it will need to come from the continent or from

488
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:48.119
<v Speaker 2>Scotland if you live in the south. It was I

489
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:52.200
<v Speaker 2>think it was sixty five pounds of bale was last

490
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:55.680
<v Speaker 2>year's price. They want one hundred and eighty pounds of

491
00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:58.480
<v Speaker 2>bale now if you want to buy just a regular

492
00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:01.119
<v Speaker 2>sized bail of hay, and it will only come from

493
00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Scotland or in the Constant because everybody in the hole

494
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:07.880
<v Speaker 2>of the Southeast and probably Midlands as well have all

495
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:10.359
<v Speaker 2>run out. It's mental.

496
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:12.759
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to know that I'm paying thirty quid

497
00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:15.200
<v Speaker 1>for a big bail of haldge. Do you delivered?

498
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:15.720
<v Speaker 2>That is?

499
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:21.279
<v Speaker 1>That is sickening, because absolutely sickening. I am within the

500
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:23.440
<v Speaker 1>delivery radius of mister bails.

501
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Don't think I won't bring you some horses, because I

502
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:28.279
<v Speaker 2>will bring you horses.

503
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:31.480
<v Speaker 1>It's six six mile radius. He delivers. He brings it

504
00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:34.039
<v Speaker 1>on the He brings two at a time, one in

505
00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the grabs on the front of the tractor and the

506
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:38.720
<v Speaker 1>other one impaled on the back, and he'll drive three

507
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:41.559
<v Speaker 1>miles down the road and just sort of throw it

508
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:43.160
<v Speaker 1>out into the field and drive off again.

509
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:46.599
<v Speaker 2>As he thought about doing uber because he could probably

510
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:49.519
<v Speaker 2>still make a few quid if he if he did

511
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:50.279
<v Speaker 2>the fair that way.

512
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Last time I saw him, he was ranting about the

513
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:57.400
<v Speaker 1>mirrors on his tractor because they're quite expensive to replace,

514
00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:01.079
<v Speaker 1>and the crows have been destroying them. Because the crows

515
00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:03.799
<v Speaker 1>perch on the little arm for the mirror, they see

516
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:06.720
<v Speaker 1>themselves in the mirror and then they peck peck the

517
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:07.920
<v Speaker 1>mirror until it's matches.

518
00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:13.079
<v Speaker 2>That sounds like a hot fuzz thing that might happen.

519
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:16.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this I don't know was it? You haven't got

520
00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:17.519
<v Speaker 1>horses every Nick.

521
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:21.680
<v Speaker 3>Don't have big pets. I've got a dog that's rapidly

522
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:25.720
<v Speaker 3>growing to the size of a donkey and looks like

523
00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:27.160
<v Speaker 3>a donkey and acts like a donkey.

524
00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:30.599
<v Speaker 2>Are you sure it's not? Did you buy it from

525
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:31.359
<v Speaker 2>a man in a pub?

526
00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Eat a suspicious amount of carrots? Eat everything? So something

527
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:44.319
<v Speaker 1>just collapsed behind Callum. So for listeners at home, Callum

528
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:48.240
<v Speaker 1>every week there's some sort of detritus of his life

529
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:51.160
<v Speaker 1>somewhere in the background. Sometimes he tidies up, and then

530
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:54.400
<v Speaker 1>sometimes there's just things arrive in there and I'll spend

531
00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:56.000
<v Speaker 1>all the episode trying to work out what the hell

532
00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:56.759
<v Speaker 1>is behind him?

533
00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:58.839
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to see what happened this week? This

534
00:30:58.920 --> 00:31:02.799
<v Speaker 2>is Remember you said invite Nick on the ADHD will

535
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:03.640
<v Speaker 2>be turned down a bit.

536
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:11.319
<v Speaker 1>Now, why are you in a changing room?

537
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:14.160
<v Speaker 2>The whole thing that the whole thing got turned into

538
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:14.759
<v Speaker 2>a wardrobe.

539
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:17.160
<v Speaker 1>That's just a rail of clothing all the way down

540
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:19.839
<v Speaker 1>the length of the many shirts? How many clothes?

541
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:21.599
<v Speaker 3>Who needs that many shirts?

542
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Because I sometimes I have to be a smart boy,

543
00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:27.559
<v Speaker 2>because I do actually work in places where I don't

544
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:29.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm not allowed to be covered in blood and stink.

545
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:31.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're allowed to wear the same shirt more

546
00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:32.000
<v Speaker 1>than once though.

547
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:36.599
<v Speaker 2>What that's not thesex a listeners.

548
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:38.440
<v Speaker 3>They are most people as well.

549
00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:42.759
<v Speaker 1>It's how many of Ben Sherman.

550
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:45.839
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to know?

551
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:47.160
<v Speaker 1>God?

552
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:47.920
<v Speaker 2>John? If true?

553
00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Some of them?

554
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Some of them are top Man right, which which went

555
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.680
<v Speaker 2>into administration many years ago, and it was way before

556
00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:01.519
<v Speaker 2>administration days as well. Some of them are I reckon

557
00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:06.319
<v Speaker 2>some of them and knocking on easy fifteen years maybe twenty.

558
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Wow. I have many older shirts than.

559
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:14.079
<v Speaker 2>That, the good quality shirts. You know, those those those

560
00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:18.279
<v Speaker 2>Bangladeshi kids, they really knew how to stitch back then

561
00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:24.400
<v Speaker 2>and now and now the Primark Primar generation they just

562
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:27.160
<v Speaker 2>don't know how to that fast fashions just you know,

563
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:29.200
<v Speaker 2>it's not got the stain power it once had.

564
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:32.359
<v Speaker 3>About twenty years ago, I got I went to you

565
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:34.799
<v Speaker 3>know those like shops like the Real Deal or whatever

566

<v Speaker 3>they're called, just cheap tat, and I've got I've got

567
00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:40.759
<v Speaker 3>a sheep shagger from there. I've still got it now

568
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:44.359
<v Speaker 3>and it's still the best coat I've ever had. It's

569
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:48.279
<v Speaker 3>really warm, it's waterproof, and it cost me a tenor

570
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:50.480
<v Speaker 3>I can't recommend it enough.

571
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:51.920
<v Speaker 2>It cost me a ten.

572
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:54.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

573
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Can you describe a sheep shager.

574
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:00.200
<v Speaker 3>A sheep shagger? You know, it's like the play will

575
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:06.240
<v Speaker 3>eat cot sometimes with the hood. Sometimes you only see them.

576
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Do you mean like the Dickies ones.

577
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:11.279
<v Speaker 3>Many brands of ail. I think mine's a blue castle.

578
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:14.319
<v Speaker 2>I can't google that.

579
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:19.119
<v Speaker 3>Give me something, you know, like a plaid shirt but

580
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:26.000
<v Speaker 3>like with fury on the inside, like a coat urban areas,

581
00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:26.319
<v Speaker 3>do you.

582
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:32.680
<v Speaker 2>It's very very forest You absolutely would see that. Yeah, yeah,

583
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:35.559
<v Speaker 2>it's it's like a lumberge, like classic lumberge at uniform,

584
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:37.319
<v Speaker 2>something like.

585
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:38.599
<v Speaker 3>The ball Fleets, but less ship.

586
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:44.640
<v Speaker 2>You would see them with a super dry logo in

587
00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:45.720
<v Speaker 2>an urban environment.

588
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:50.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if it was urban, it'd be Carhart, now, wouldn't it.

589
00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:52.400
<v Speaker 1>They've sort of appropriated actual work where.

590
00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:59.279
<v Speaker 2>I like. I like that concept that you can appropriate

591
00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:03.359
<v Speaker 2>the working man into a gentrified wardrobe capsule.

592
00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:08.199
<v Speaker 1>So I'm waiting for the urban fashionistas to adopt the

593
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:12.960
<v Speaker 1>sort of general tradesman trousers that have these sort of

594
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:17.440
<v Speaker 1>integral pockets at the front, the extra flat pocket, well.

595
00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Tactical where is a big thing. It was annoying that

596
00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:23.880
<v Speaker 2>I started buying arctics, and then it become fashionable because

597
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:26.639
<v Speaker 2>like people wanted to buy it, and then you didn't

598
00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:28.400
<v Speaker 2>know what was the fashion stuff and what was the

599
00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:33.239
<v Speaker 2>actual good stuff. It become quite quite tricky.

600
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Given the nix in prime. I've moved slightly away from

601
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Hereford but not too far country for special forces where

602
00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:47.760
<v Speaker 1>he is, and I know at least three people within

603
00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:50.679
<v Speaker 1>the forest there who used to do interesting things and

604
00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:53.039
<v Speaker 1>now run pubs and stuff like that.

605
00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:56.400
<v Speaker 3>It's quite a future still a boat now you don't

606
00:34:56.440 --> 00:34:58.159
<v Speaker 3>know them. You look at and think, oh, I know

607
00:34:58.199 --> 00:34:58.719
<v Speaker 3>what you did.

608
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:04.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're always either looking at looking at a watch

609
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:06.599
<v Speaker 2>or looking at the door while they're.

610
00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:08.000
<v Speaker 3>Still talking to the corner of the pub.

611
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:11.719
<v Speaker 2>You can tell with no.

612
00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:13.599
<v Speaker 3>Back to the wall, they can see all the entrances.

613
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, it's painfully accurate because that is the lived.

614
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:27.639
<v Speaker 2>I did a wedding somewhere around there with people that

615
00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:29.559
<v Speaker 2>worked in those places.

616
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:31.599
<v Speaker 1>And specific description.

617
00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, at one point I can say this. At

618
00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:41.039
<v Speaker 2>one point there was a picture of the man that

619
00:35:41.159 --> 00:35:47.000
<v Speaker 2>I know in the just taken a dip in Saddam

620
00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Hussein swimming pool about four days after being captured. So

621
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:58.119
<v Speaker 2>that was an interesting photo to see.

622
00:35:56.760 --> 00:35:59.679
<v Speaker 1>How often do you bump into Richard Hammond's down your way?

623
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:02.239
<v Speaker 3>Ever seen him? He lives in Ross now I think,

624
00:36:03.159 --> 00:36:07.039
<v Speaker 3>or near Ross. Yeah, he's moved from the forest, not

625
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:07.639
<v Speaker 3>very far.

626
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:11.199
<v Speaker 1>I think that he used to have a big house

627
00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:12.519
<v Speaker 1>and now he doesn't. Is that correct?

628
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:15.199
<v Speaker 3>Idea? Well?

629
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Was it big? Was it big in proportion to him?

630
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Or was it a.

631
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:22.960
<v Speaker 3>Position to comment? Because I think he's a.

632
00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Have You don't work at his house?

633
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Uh as your as your local. I once enjoyed a

634
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:36.559
<v Speaker 2>very nice kebab and so it wasn't best, but it

635
00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:42.119
<v Speaker 2>was called Jesus the Best, the Best kebab ross on Why.

636
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:47.119
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't the best, but it was good, Big up,

637
00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:49.639
<v Speaker 2>big up, ross on Why. And this episode is sponsored

638
00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:52.679
<v Speaker 2>by the Best Kebab and Pizza.

639
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:56.719
<v Speaker 1>We had a guy on when I used to do

640
00:36:56.719 --> 00:36:59.199
<v Speaker 1>in Mountain stuff. He came on an event there and

641
00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:01.320
<v Speaker 1>for some reason we end up talking about Ray Meers

642
00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:05.239
<v Speaker 1>and he was saying that, you know, he reckons, he's

643
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:07.920
<v Speaker 1>a survival expert and all of that, but you know

644
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:10.480
<v Speaker 1>my cousin, he's a plumber, and he went to fix

645
00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:11.920
<v Speaker 1>a boiler at his house. And if he's got a

646
00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:13.960
<v Speaker 1>boiler there, how much of a survival expert can he be?

647
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:19.400
<v Speaker 1>And you know, just somebody said something that stayed with you.

648
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's sort of it's not wrong, it's just not

649
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:28.719
<v Speaker 2>a modern survival is he? Like? Urban urban survival is

650
00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:32.239
<v Speaker 2>also a technique. You know this is true.

651
00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:35.320
<v Speaker 1>We you survived so far despite the best efforts of

652
00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:36.679
<v Speaker 1>what you've said to those people.

653
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Ah, there's a there's a certain Arguably the British country

654
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:50.599
<v Speaker 2>side is not that dangerous. The the urban, uh, the

655
00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:53.599
<v Speaker 2>urban side of thing could often be very dangerous, and

656
00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:56.360
<v Speaker 2>you do need to know how to navigate yourself in

657
00:37:56.360 --> 00:38:00.920
<v Speaker 2>in such situations. Should should someone be shouting at pigeons

658
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:04.320
<v Speaker 2>in the street, you should probably cross the road or

659
00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:08.599
<v Speaker 2>avoid that person. So there is a yeah, there is

660
00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:11.360
<v Speaker 2>a survival part of that.

661
00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Whereas it in a rural area, if somebody shouting at pigeons,

662
00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:19.599
<v Speaker 1>it's probably Jeff Garrett with his great big tashe sorry,

663
00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:22.280
<v Speaker 1>that was a reference for like seventeen people. I think,

664
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:24.719
<v Speaker 1>who know who I'm talking about.

665
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I've never met Jeff. I'd quite like to meet him.

666
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:30.239
<v Speaker 2>He looks like a fun he looks like a fun character.

667
00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:33.519
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I feel like he's either going to

668
00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:36.159
<v Speaker 2>be one of two things. For one, he might just

669
00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:39.239
<v Speaker 2>talk about pigeons a lot, and then I'll just my

670
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:43.599
<v Speaker 2>eyes will glaze over and I'll just die, or it

671
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:45.960
<v Speaker 2>would just be a nice It'll just be a nice geezer.

672
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:47.639
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's probably the latter.

673
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:51.960
<v Speaker 1>What's the strangest thing you found in a forest? Nick?

674
00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:57.480
<v Speaker 3>That's what I asked me, an easy one. I don't know.

675
00:38:57.880 --> 00:38:59.719
<v Speaker 3>It's just put it on to find strange in it,

676
00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:05.679
<v Speaker 3>because what some peoples find strange strange normal. I'm going

677
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:10.440
<v Speaker 3>to dure the brain back a bit. Hang on, bodies

678
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:13.960
<v Speaker 3>are quite fun, not human bodies, but you often find.

679
00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:19.039
<v Speaker 1>Like you have to clarify that qualify that I.

680
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.880
<v Speaker 3>Find I've found most of the mini but it was

681
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:26.840
<v Speaker 3>but it wasn't actually in which end, the chassy end,

682
00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:30.239
<v Speaker 3>as in it was upside down about one hundred yards

683
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:32.599
<v Speaker 3>down a bank, and I thought, I know what you've done?

684
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:37.320
<v Speaker 3>And I did think, do you know what? That's an

685
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:38.440
<v Speaker 3>A series engine in there?

686
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:38.840
<v Speaker 1>And it is that?

687
00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:44.719
<v Speaker 3>No, Nick, is not worth it. Just just gonna get

688
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:45.440
<v Speaker 3>some from somewhere else.

689
00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Can we go back on bodies? What bodies are we

690
00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:53.679
<v Speaker 2>finding in the woods? You can't really leave that there

691
00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:55.719
<v Speaker 2>and be like, oh, not human bodies and they're not

692
00:39:56.199 --> 00:39:57.320
<v Speaker 2>what speed do.

693
00:39:57.320 --> 00:39:59.000
<v Speaker 3>You come across bones? You thought, well, it's not a

694
00:39:59.079 --> 00:40:02.440
<v Speaker 3>sheep and it's probably not a deer, and I'm not

695
00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:04.239
<v Speaker 3>entirely sure what it will. Just leave it there.

696
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Two per cobra. Panther. Oh there's always, there's.

697
00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Always like I've definitely seen a panther on my way

698
00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:21.159
<v Speaker 3>home from the pub at about three o'clock in the morning. Yes,

699
00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:21.519
<v Speaker 3>you did.

700
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Do you know if there was ever a place that

701
00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:26.559
<v Speaker 2>I thought there might be a panther and it was

702
00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:31.880
<v Speaker 2>believable the foresteding, i'd kind of I'd get it. You know.

703
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:39.519
<v Speaker 2>It's when you see like jaguars in in by rivers

704
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:46.719
<v Speaker 2>that's not that far off? What that's not far off?

705
00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:50.159
<v Speaker 2>What part of the river y looks like in places

706
00:40:50.199 --> 00:40:53.199
<v Speaker 2>where it goes down and it's it's a very big valley,

707
00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:55.280
<v Speaker 2>and then you've got all these forests around it.

708
00:40:56.519 --> 00:40:57.000
<v Speaker 1>The same thing.

709
00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:01.079
<v Speaker 2>Really, yeah, I mean it's it's almost the same. The

710
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:06.320
<v Speaker 2>people were just a bit friendly at Lease. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.

711
00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:10.920
<v Speaker 3>Think it's the team is not actually as forestry as

712
00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:13.000
<v Speaker 3>you think it is, because quite you know, there's three

713
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:15.400
<v Speaker 3>big towns for four big towns and there's quite a

714
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:17.239
<v Speaker 3>lot of villages and it's quite a small area, so

715
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:20.639
<v Speaker 3>there's not much in between, which is why we have

716
00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:22.639
<v Speaker 3>such a problem with the board because there's so many

717
00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:27.039
<v Speaker 3>of them, like two thousands or something like that. They well,

718
00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:29.239
<v Speaker 3>they had to find foods, so they come into the

719
00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:32.440
<v Speaker 3>into the towns. So I live on the edge of Cinderford,

720
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:35.599
<v Speaker 3>but close to the middle as well, and they would

721
00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:39.199
<v Speaker 3>regularly come and try and get into my garden. They're

722
00:41:39.239 --> 00:41:40.679
<v Speaker 3>fine at five o'clock in the morning when you go

723
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:41.960
<v Speaker 3>to I'm going to go to work.

724
00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Now, ah ship, what's your strategy for dealing with a

725
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:52.000
<v Speaker 1>wild boar in your addressing gown Slipper, Run, get beat

726
00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:56.559
<v Speaker 1>it to death whilst wearing a kimono like Joli unminded beat.

727
00:41:56.400 --> 00:41:59.519
<v Speaker 3>It to death with a kimono. Is that's going to

728
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:03.199
<v Speaker 3>go into the let? It's a kind of uh country slide.

729
00:42:03.800 --> 00:42:07.360
<v Speaker 3>Things we shouldn't have said and didn't mean I did.

730
00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:11.559
<v Speaker 3>I jumped in my car and I got the horn

731
00:42:11.599 --> 00:42:14.679
<v Speaker 3>going and flashed the lights at it into it, charged

732
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:16.320
<v Speaker 3>out the car based off it, and then it ran

733
00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:19.079
<v Speaker 3>off and then all my neighbors woke up and wondered

734
00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:19.360
<v Speaker 3>what the.

735
00:42:20.840 --> 00:42:24.199
<v Speaker 2>Noise was are they are they quite dangerous?

736
00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:27.760
<v Speaker 3>You wouldn't want to make one angry then if you

737
00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:31.760
<v Speaker 3>ever seen one, can't They're like massive, like three hundred

738
00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:33.559
<v Speaker 3>kilos of hairy anger.

739
00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:43.400
<v Speaker 1>It's don't do it. I've lost.

740
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:48.079
<v Speaker 2>No, I can't. I can't. There's a mother in law

741
00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:53.559
<v Speaker 2>a law joke had But you were just jailed straight

742
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:56.079
<v Speaker 2>over the top of that because we're a professional podcast.

743
00:42:56.159 --> 00:42:56.599
<v Speaker 1>So far.

744
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Have I ever seen one? Only in footage on a

745
00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:08.119
<v Speaker 2>firm or scope and that will be left exactly as

746
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:11.840
<v Speaker 2>it is, so now I haven't actually seen one in

747
00:43:11.880 --> 00:43:15.639
<v Speaker 2>the flesh. There is there is quite a few, uh

748
00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:21.159
<v Speaker 2>lak orion in in France. You do have quite a

749
00:43:21.199 --> 00:43:26.039
<v Speaker 2>lot in the woods there. And also they say, I

750
00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:29.480
<v Speaker 2>mean there probably are there. There are a lot, a

751
00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:33.079
<v Speaker 2>lot of big hairy beasts around that area to be

752
00:43:33.559 --> 00:43:41.639
<v Speaker 2>to be seen. Yeah, I know that they can be

753
00:43:41.880 --> 00:43:44.199
<v Speaker 2>dangerous if you especially if you get in the way

754
00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:46.320
<v Speaker 2>and they've got young and stuff like that, you can

755
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:52.199
<v Speaker 2>get you get in trouble. Yeah, So we we kept

756
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:55.199
<v Speaker 2>fishing and then made sure that we weren't in the

757
00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:57.079
<v Speaker 2>way of any other ball and whatnot.

758
00:43:57.159 --> 00:43:59.360
<v Speaker 1>What of our neighbors up here. It's quite a thing

759
00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:03.800
<v Speaker 1>for Welsh sheep farmers and hill farmers. When you're in

760
00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:06.519
<v Speaker 1>sort of your late teens or early twenties, you go

761
00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:08.800
<v Speaker 1>off to New Zealand to go and do a spell

762
00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:11.760
<v Speaker 1>of work over there. You sort of work shearing there

763
00:44:11.960 --> 00:44:14.320
<v Speaker 1>or because you know, they're seasons of the opposite two hours,

764
00:44:14.360 --> 00:44:16.599
<v Speaker 1>so you can do half the year there are half

765
00:44:16.679 --> 00:44:19.639
<v Speaker 1>that year here. And one of the guys I was

766
00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:21.480
<v Speaker 1>talking to is saying, oh, yeah, you had a great time.

767
00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:24.119
<v Speaker 1>But he got obsessed with trying to get with one

768
00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:26.559
<v Speaker 1>of get one of the wild balls there by dropping

769
00:44:26.599 --> 00:44:29.519
<v Speaker 1>out of a tree onto it because they can hunt.

770
00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:32.519
<v Speaker 1>They hunt with sort of dogs and knives and spears

771
00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:35.519
<v Speaker 1>and guns and things there they do like driven boar

772
00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:38.000
<v Speaker 1>hunts and chase them through the forest. And he got

773
00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:41.239
<v Speaker 1>obsessed with this idea of lying in ambush in a

774
00:44:41.360 --> 00:44:43.800
<v Speaker 1>tree with a knife and a spear so you could

775
00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:47.440
<v Speaker 1>just drop down out of it on savage it. You're

776
00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:48.920
<v Speaker 1>telling me this at a pub one night.

777
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:51.880
<v Speaker 2>I like the idea of like, did you ever play

778
00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Clasher Clan? So they had the thing called the hog

779
00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Riders where it used to jump over over walls. Two

780
00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:01.440
<v Speaker 2>people have got that that's fine, but my man and

781
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:04.920
<v Speaker 2>my mate did do the advert for it, so you're

782
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:11.599
<v Speaker 2>familiar with hog Rudder. That was the That was the advert. Anyway,

783
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:16.599
<v Speaker 2>it's been a long day, Honestly, it's been a long day,

784
00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:22.280
<v Speaker 2>and so the ideas the thing has not been turned down,

785
00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:24.880
<v Speaker 2>it's only been turned up. And I feel that my

786
00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:29.000
<v Speaker 2>brain is fragmented to a million pieces with YouTube. But anyway,

787
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:29.760
<v Speaker 2>if you're new to.

788
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:32.239
<v Speaker 1>Country Slide, maybe you can go back, go back to

789
00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:34.840
<v Speaker 1>about twelve months before they were this was this is

790
00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:35.559
<v Speaker 1>one for the fans.

791
00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:41.119
<v Speaker 2>I think, yeah, this is all. Then come back to

792
00:45:41.199 --> 00:45:41.559
<v Speaker 2>this one.

793
00:45:41.800 --> 00:45:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I like.

794
00:45:43.519 --> 00:45:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I like the idea that he just sort of would

795
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:48.360
<v Speaker 2>jump on it and it would just go crazy and

796
00:45:48.440 --> 00:45:51.000
<v Speaker 2>he'd just sort of ride it through the through the

797
00:45:51.039 --> 00:45:56.000
<v Speaker 2>wood a short period before dying obviously.

798
00:45:55.960 --> 00:45:58.559
<v Speaker 1>But you've got to survive the fall, not getting paled

799
00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:01.280
<v Speaker 1>by your own weapons, and then fight the ball.

800
00:46:03.039 --> 00:46:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't even like, I'm mid thirties now, I wouldn't

801
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:12.480
<v Speaker 2>even like to bet on my knees jumping from a tree.

802
00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:16.079
<v Speaker 2>I sneezed in bed the other day. I nearly ended

803
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:20.320
<v Speaker 2>the world for me. It was so I don't fancy

804
00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:25.719
<v Speaker 2>my chances, but perhaps someone with better hypermobility could do

805
00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:27.360
<v Speaker 2>such a thing to.

806
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:29.320
<v Speaker 3>See how dangerous they are. We needs to have one

807
00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:31.719
<v Speaker 3>of those, do you know. It's roboflail things, so it's

808
00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:34.480
<v Speaker 3>like a radio controlled tour carrier. And it had a

809
00:46:34.480 --> 00:46:37.000
<v Speaker 3>big flare on the front. You send no bomb for

810
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:38.280
<v Speaker 3>me when some other people make one.

811
00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:41.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh, they're very very they're great fun to rent.

812
00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:44.599
<v Speaker 3>They're great fun. We had one for a little while.

813
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:46.880
<v Speaker 3>I Might was out newsing it in a wood and

814
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:50.920
<v Speaker 3>he's sitting this boar. He's in it before she's in him,

815
00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:53.599
<v Speaker 3>and he thought, oh, I just I'll get myself between

816
00:46:54.519 --> 00:46:58.360
<v Speaker 3>her and the machine. That's the safest place to be.

817
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:02.800
<v Speaker 3>He hadn't realized was that she didn't give a shit

818
00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:07.639
<v Speaker 3>about that machine. And she charged and so he kept moving.

819
00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:10.360
<v Speaker 3>So he kept he kept going round the machine, and

820
00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:14.360
<v Speaker 3>in the end he had to start running backwards. And

821
00:47:14.440 --> 00:47:17.119
<v Speaker 3>as he's getting backwards, he looked behind him and there

822
00:47:17.199 --> 00:47:18.920
<v Speaker 3>was there was a deer fence behind him. So he

823
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:22.440
<v Speaker 3>had nowhere to go. There's like hundreds of meters of

824
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:25.559
<v Speaker 3>deer fence behind him. But he's a boy. There was

825
00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:30.199
<v Speaker 3>a strainer. So Mark is he's about the same ey

826
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:32.239
<v Speaker 3>as me, so He's not very tall, but he's stock.

827
00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:35.400
<v Speaker 3>He mustly like a hook or a prop forward that

828
00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:39.800
<v Speaker 3>side of thing. Anyway, he basically ran vertically up this

829
00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:45.239
<v Speaker 3>post in a display of athleticism. I didn't think he

830
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:48.519
<v Speaker 3>was actually capable of and almost stood on top of

831
00:47:48.599 --> 00:47:51.599
<v Speaker 3>it while she was there pulling the ground underneath him.

832
00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:55.400
<v Speaker 3>And then she just sort of shook herself and ran

833
00:47:55.440 --> 00:47:58.639
<v Speaker 3>off like she'd made the point. So I'm not sure

834
00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:00.440
<v Speaker 3>i'd dropped down on the ball from the free.

835
00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:05.119
<v Speaker 2>Literally face to face with a with an angry boar

836
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:06.519
<v Speaker 2>sounds it's terrifying.

837
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:09.559
<v Speaker 3>I've been chased a couple of times to open run fast,

838
00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:13.519
<v Speaker 3>So is that the tactic? Like out and you don't die.

839
00:48:13.719 --> 00:48:17.039
<v Speaker 3>I hope you're faster than the boar. I hope the

840
00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:20.320
<v Speaker 3>boar gets bored before you run out of steam.

841
00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:24.679
<v Speaker 1>Interesting, Calum and I are going to be down in

842
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:29.360
<v Speaker 1>the kind of vicinity within an hour? Review next week,

843
00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:32.199
<v Speaker 1>next week, after next, isn't it?

844
00:48:33.480 --> 00:48:35.559
<v Speaker 2>We're going to be what do we threaten to do?

845
00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Take a picture outside their house and then leave? What

846
00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:38.800
<v Speaker 2>was it?

847
00:48:41.800 --> 00:48:42.239
<v Speaker 3>That's not my.

848
00:48:46.519 --> 00:48:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Dress? As a boar and rabbage for his.

849
00:48:50.079 --> 00:48:52.199
<v Speaker 3>You're not big enough to dress them? You have to

850
00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:55.280
<v Speaker 3>both be in the same costume to make it even

851
00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:57.280
<v Speaker 3>remotely the same size.

852
00:48:57.440 --> 00:48:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'll be the front.

853
00:48:59.039 --> 00:49:03.519
<v Speaker 1>Ah got there ahead of me, so yeah, we could

854
00:49:03.760 --> 00:49:07.519
<v Speaker 1>stop in for a swift visit to the Forest of Dean.

855
00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:10.039
<v Speaker 1>That although it's on my way home, it's not at

856
00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:12.800
<v Speaker 1>all on the way home between Bristol and.

857
00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:18.159
<v Speaker 2>Thresol, so it's possibly local.

858
00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:20.639
<v Speaker 1>It is local. It is across on the other side

859
00:49:20.639 --> 00:49:23.039
<v Speaker 1>of the River seven and the bridge and all of that,

860
00:49:23.199 --> 00:49:24.639
<v Speaker 1>so you do have to go quite a long way.

861
00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:26.440
<v Speaker 1>You have to briefly go into Wales.

862
00:49:27.159 --> 00:49:29.079
<v Speaker 3>You could go in Gloucester and see at the go

863
00:49:29.199 --> 00:49:29.840
<v Speaker 3>top of the river.

864
00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:33.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't like it around there though. It's too close

865
00:49:33.079 --> 00:49:34.599
<v Speaker 1>to Chukes brief for me and I might get flooded.

866
00:49:35.440 --> 00:49:36.079
<v Speaker 3>Just keep driving.

867
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Do you ever just nip out to that really nice

868
00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:40.679
<v Speaker 1>services near Gloucester? The new one?

869
00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:43.199
<v Speaker 3>No, I know, the one you mean. I can't think

870
00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:43.960
<v Speaker 3>it's cool now, the.

871
00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:46.039
<v Speaker 1>One that's basically a hobbit hole.

872
00:49:46.599 --> 00:49:49.719
<v Speaker 3>It's a south version of that wedding by Carlisle that

873
00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:54.400
<v Speaker 3>is named Briefly Escape Me TV. I wanted to say

874
00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:59.119
<v Speaker 3>tenB I knew I wasn't right. The one that does

875
00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:02.320
<v Speaker 3>nice pies it's like the safe version of that.

876
00:50:03.440 --> 00:50:05.800
<v Speaker 1>You know that the podcast has reached its highest point

877
00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:08.960
<v Speaker 1>when we're now reminiscing about what's your favorite service station?

878
00:50:11.559 --> 00:50:15.440
<v Speaker 2>I vote anyone with Bridge is always always like a

879
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:19.880
<v Speaker 2>service station for Bridge, something about it, like magic.

880
00:50:19.719 --> 00:50:21.679
<v Speaker 1>Because it's got its own air traffic control tower for

881
00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:26.840
<v Speaker 1>no reason whatsoever. I think it's Fulton. Write in and

882
00:50:26.920 --> 00:50:27.960
<v Speaker 1>tell us if I'm correct.

883
00:50:30.199 --> 00:50:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh what a day.

884
00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:32.639
<v Speaker 3>This is what.

885
00:50:34.679 --> 00:50:36.719
<v Speaker 1>We didn't actually find out what you've been doing? Callum?

886
00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:37.519
<v Speaker 1>You know who you were with?

887
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:38.159
<v Speaker 3>What are.

888
00:50:40.559 --> 00:50:41.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Whose blood is that.

889
00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:48.280
<v Speaker 2>It is? I think this is the second time I've

890
00:50:48.360 --> 00:50:49.679
<v Speaker 2>been covered in blood this week.

891
00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:54.320
<v Speaker 1>It's not been yours either time. However, No, So.

892
00:50:56.360 --> 00:51:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Earlier in the week was of course, so I was

893
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:06.400
<v Speaker 2>at the cult face of conservation deermanaging. I was photographing,

894
00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:11.679
<v Speaker 2>but I also get stuck in on occasions. This occasion

895
00:51:11.920 --> 00:51:16.239
<v Speaker 2>was one of those occasions, and I covered myself in

896
00:51:16.320 --> 00:51:21.079
<v Speaker 2>blood because we shot a red which is a lot

897
00:51:21.159 --> 00:51:26.880
<v Speaker 2>of admin in terms of dragging and skinning and all

898
00:51:26.960 --> 00:51:30.199
<v Speaker 2>of that jazz. So yeah, that was last week, and

899
00:51:30.320 --> 00:51:36.880
<v Speaker 2>then this week and shooting Times piece about how important

900
00:51:36.880 --> 00:51:42.800
<v Speaker 2>it is to shoot the roads and did that? Yeah,

901
00:51:43.679 --> 00:51:45.320
<v Speaker 2>do you know I'm going to put the picture in

902
00:51:46.639 --> 00:51:53.719
<v Speaker 2>the group, but I carried it out on my rucksack.

903
00:51:54.800 --> 00:51:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Photography.

904
00:51:56.519 --> 00:52:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like an American. I've also got a portrait session

905
00:52:02.119 --> 00:52:09.480
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow in in central London with a client that manages

906
00:52:09.519 --> 00:52:12.400
<v Speaker 2>a hedge fund, and it's.

907
00:52:12.360 --> 00:52:15.039
<v Speaker 1>An actual hedge fund, not just pissing around with Hazel

908
00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:16.159
<v Speaker 1>like Richard does.

909
00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no stake in, no binding, like actual real money stuff.

910
00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:26.159
<v Speaker 2>And I'm yeah, I'm doing that tomorrow. So I need

911
00:52:26.320 --> 00:52:29.039
<v Speaker 2>to at some point wipe the blood off of all

912
00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:31.039
<v Speaker 2>of my things so I can pretend to be a

913
00:52:31.079 --> 00:52:35.760
<v Speaker 2>real human tomorrow, which is an interesting, interesting thing. Also,

914
00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:40.920
<v Speaker 2>being covered in blood is bad because I don't currently

915
00:52:41.079 --> 00:52:46.960
<v Speaker 2>have a washing machine because the kitchen has been ripped

916
00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:53.480
<v Speaker 2>out something leaked ages ago and the insurance company is

917
00:52:53.519 --> 00:52:57.000
<v Speaker 2>sorting it out, and my whole kitchen got ripped out

918
00:52:58.039 --> 00:52:59.960
<v Speaker 2>and I don't have that was where the washing machine,

919
00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:02.320
<v Speaker 2>So I don't have a washing machine. So for the

920
00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:06.000
<v Speaker 2>past week I've just had blood soaked clothes with lots

921
00:53:06.039 --> 00:53:09.559
<v Speaker 2>of people refusing to put them in their washing machine. Eventually,

922
00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:12.800
<v Speaker 2>I believe somebody will crack and they'll be like, I'll

923
00:53:12.840 --> 00:53:14.639
<v Speaker 2>take the blood soak clothes and I'll put them in

924
00:53:14.679 --> 00:53:18.440
<v Speaker 2>the washing machine. Well, hopefully this is why you've got

925
00:53:18.480 --> 00:53:19.599
<v Speaker 2>so many shirts.

926
00:53:19.280 --> 00:53:19.559
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it.

927
00:53:20.880 --> 00:53:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I mean it does help. I need to

928
00:53:23.639 --> 00:53:25.599
<v Speaker 2>I need to look like a smart boy tomorrow. So

929
00:53:26.280 --> 00:53:29.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna yeah, I'm going to have to do that

930
00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:30.639
<v Speaker 2>my kitchen.

931
00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:30.920
<v Speaker 3>Right.

932
00:53:33.360 --> 00:53:40.920
<v Speaker 2>So it's it's currently Tuesday. They we got told that

933
00:53:41.039 --> 00:53:44.400
<v Speaker 2>somebody was coming to The whole thing has to be

934
00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:47.199
<v Speaker 2>completely removed and they're going to rebuild it and put

935
00:53:47.239 --> 00:53:50.119
<v Speaker 2>it back because they need to sort this damp issue

936
00:53:50.159 --> 00:53:53.639
<v Speaker 2>from a leak that happened. The guy got an email,

937
00:53:53.800 --> 00:53:58.000
<v Speaker 2>the builder. He got an email, and the email said,

938
00:53:58.320 --> 00:54:04.559
<v Speaker 2>on Monday, come in with Tyler. Removed the kitchen. And

939
00:54:05.079 --> 00:54:05.360
<v Speaker 2>that's that.

940
00:54:05.599 --> 00:54:07.400
<v Speaker 1>It's Tyler, a profession or a name.

941
00:54:08.559 --> 00:54:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Ah, this is where it gets interesting. So he happens

942
00:54:18.920 --> 00:54:25.599
<v Speaker 2>to have a his niece that he works with is

943
00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:32.039
<v Speaker 2>called Tyler. So they've removed the kitchen units and all

944
00:54:32.079 --> 00:54:36.199
<v Speaker 2>the stuff, and the man comes and does that will

945
00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Tyler is on a some kind of pneumatic drill thing,

946
00:54:41.400 --> 00:54:45.440
<v Speaker 2>smashing all the tiles out of the floor. And it

947
00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:48.280
<v Speaker 2>was only when he was halfway through that he read

948
00:54:48.320 --> 00:54:51.280
<v Speaker 2>the email properly and realized that it was the following

949
00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Monday that the Tyler and not his understudy Tyler, was

950
00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:05.079
<v Speaker 2>to snatch up the floor. So there's floor tiles like,

951
00:55:05.840 --> 00:55:08.239
<v Speaker 2>there's floor tiles the whole way to the back door

952
00:55:08.719 --> 00:55:12.760
<v Speaker 2>that are like little shards of glass, And nobody was

953
00:55:12.840 --> 00:55:16.119
<v Speaker 2>coming until yesterday. So I had a whole week of

954
00:55:16.760 --> 00:55:20.440
<v Speaker 2>having to use a different door to get round the

955
00:55:20.519 --> 00:55:22.679
<v Speaker 2>back just to let the dog for a week and

956
00:55:23.159 --> 00:55:28.960
<v Speaker 2>essentially turned my whole kitchen into into like a danger

957
00:55:29.079 --> 00:55:33.679
<v Speaker 2>zone because Tyler and Tyler got mixed up.

958
00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:37.400
<v Speaker 1>How was this problem presented to you? Was it was it?

959
00:55:37.800 --> 00:55:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Did he sort of have his hat his hat in

960
00:55:39.559 --> 00:55:41.760
<v Speaker 1>his hands like an old Victorian?

961
00:55:45.079 --> 00:55:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's been a mix up, mate, You see what's

962
00:55:48.679 --> 00:55:52.320
<v Speaker 2>just happened there? Well, I thought it said Tyler, and

963
00:55:52.559 --> 00:55:56.559
<v Speaker 2>it was actually the Tyler. Thankfully, Roger the Tyler is

964
00:55:56.599 --> 00:56:01.199
<v Speaker 2>a good guy, and Tyler the other person, didn't do

965
00:56:01.639 --> 00:56:06.000
<v Speaker 2>that much damage, but it could have been a lot worse. Thankfully,

966
00:56:06.039 --> 00:56:10.360
<v Speaker 2>he didn't smash any of the floorboards underneath or anything.

967
00:56:11.000 --> 00:56:12.320
<v Speaker 2>But you've done a good job. You got half of

968
00:56:12.360 --> 00:56:12.719
<v Speaker 2>them up.

969
00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:17.440
<v Speaker 1>So you're an eternal optimist, aren't you.

970
00:56:19.199 --> 00:56:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

971
00:56:19.719 --> 00:56:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I think you have to be.

972
00:56:21.440 --> 00:56:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, there's some things are sent to test you,

973
00:56:26.320 --> 00:56:28.400
<v Speaker 2>and there seems to be a lot of things at

974
00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:35.079
<v Speaker 2>the moment that are working their forces. There'll be a

975
00:56:35.159 --> 00:56:37.840
<v Speaker 2>stage in my life where something catastrophic will happen and

976
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll just be sitting there, just chill as anything, because

977
00:56:42.039 --> 00:56:45.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, I've seen it all. You know, like those

978
00:56:45.800 --> 00:56:49.679
<v Speaker 2>there are people that have seen horrendous things in war

979
00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:53.840
<v Speaker 2>and then something something terrible presents itself in front of

980
00:56:53.880 --> 00:56:56.599
<v Speaker 2>them and they just sort of slowly drag a cigarette

981
00:56:56.679 --> 00:57:00.159
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, yeah, it's nothing that that would be me.

982
00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:05.159
<v Speaker 2>You're basically French now, then yeah, I need to start smoking.

983
00:57:05.920 --> 00:57:07.559
<v Speaker 1>Can imagine you with a galois.

984
00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:15.519
<v Speaker 2>More of a Rowley? Right?

985
00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:22.880
<v Speaker 1>So, before we bring this incident of a show into land, Sorry, Nick,

986
00:57:23.199 --> 00:57:26.119
<v Speaker 1>is there anything you'd like the public to think about,

987
00:57:26.239 --> 00:57:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to know, or to just do after listening to this show?

988
00:57:31.760 --> 00:57:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Well? Probably, I think that they're just going to have

989
00:57:33.480 --> 00:57:38.559
<v Speaker 3>to reflect, aren't they, on what they've heard? And I

990
00:57:38.639 --> 00:57:47.360
<v Speaker 3>don't know, I don't know. I have no words quite honestly, for.

991
00:57:50.239 --> 00:57:51.840
<v Speaker 1>You're all here, you're all witness to this.

992
00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:55.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm very rarely lost for words. This has done it.

993
00:57:57.239 --> 00:58:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Shared trauma. I think It doesn't help by fact that

994
00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:04.519
<v Speaker 1>whilst you're saying this, callum is picking his teeth with

995
00:58:04.679 --> 00:58:07.880
<v Speaker 1>his business with his Lloyd's TSB business card.

996
00:58:08.760 --> 00:58:13.599
<v Speaker 2>Number one bank for farmers is Lloyd's. Yeah, I agree,

997
00:58:17.360 --> 00:58:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Dear God.

998
00:58:17.960 --> 00:58:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Right after show now please bye
