Speaker 1: Oh yes, I thought you were just going to talk
Speaker 1: about Coldplay and was like.
Speaker 2: Oh god no, it's was all yellow.

Speaker 1: with me, and then I wake up with taste of
Speaker 1: blood in my mouth.
Speaker 2: Carry on, Okay, I'm not a fan?
Speaker 1: Then not not not not not No?
Speaker 2: How do you feel about that whole Coldplay video?
Speaker 1: Someone smooching someone They shouldn't have been basically smooching.
Speaker 3: They were just like having a snuggle, couldling so like
Speaker 3: the guys behind arms around okay, exactly. Well, the person
Speaker 3: who shared that footage has been sharing how much money
Speaker 3: they've made from sharing that video. Shared a lot there, right,
Speaker 3: So Grace Springer, right, how much you think she she's
Speaker 3: made from sharing that video.
Speaker 1: Just from sharing that video, the video of her having
Speaker 1: a snuggle, of.
Speaker 3: Her filming people on the kiss cam, right right, So
Speaker 3: it's her video that everyone's using.
Speaker 2: Oh I see all these aslets and the memes and things.
Speaker 2: So she's told people have she may may.
Speaker 3: Okay, So she told people how much she's actually made
Speaker 3: from that image.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a lot, isn't it. It's going
Speaker 1: to be it's going to depress me. However much it
Speaker 1: is zero? Oh that's all right then? Good?
Speaker 3: Nobody is paid her excellent because she said, oh you smiling, okay, great, thanks,
Speaker 3: and we're not paying for it because if you didn't,
Speaker 3: someone else would. There's loads of people filming at that point,
Speaker 3: because good, that's how we live our lives now through
Speaker 3: a screen. Please keep watching, can't hang on. So she's
Speaker 3: been not made a single penny from it, okay, right,
Speaker 3: which I think is good because I don't think she
Speaker 3: should have profited from someone else's misery yep. Because it's
Speaker 3: her justification for sharing it was, well, someone else would
Speaker 3: have done so, so why not mine?
Speaker 1: All right, Well, then she can't really claim any kind of.
Speaker 2: I just I'm not comfortable with the fact that she
Speaker 2: shared it. I'm also not comfortable with that. All the
Speaker 2: whole idea of a kiss camp.
Speaker 1: If I didn't, then someone else would was the Nazis
Speaker 1: defense at Nuremberg.
Speaker 2: No, I was only following orders, was loved.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but it was I was only following orders.
Speaker 1: So why did you follow those orders? Because if I didn't,
Speaker 1: someone else would have. And it's like, all right, it's
Speaker 1: not it's not a good sign.
Speaker 2: It's not a good sign.
Speaker 3: And it's one of the whole old people kiss count
Speaker 3: and zooming in on people's.
Speaker 1: It's an American kind of romantic thing, isn't it. They
Speaker 1: do it at sports ball games and stuff where they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's the kiss cam, and then it turns out it's
Speaker 1: hilarity because it's actually not two people that know each other.
Speaker 1: It's just a man and a woman sat next to
Speaker 1: each other.
Speaker 2: A man or woman.
Speaker 1: There have been a few like shocking ones where like
Speaker 1: a woman and a man and then they'll go oh,
Speaker 1: we're on camera and he'll lean in and kiss his
Speaker 1: boyfriend who stood on the other side of him and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, which.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's and also we don't know that the
Speaker 3: CEO had an open relationship with his wife or not.
Speaker 2: It's just assumed.
Speaker 1: I don't couldn't care less. Really, this is the thing.
Speaker 1: It's that all right, good for you, fine, move on.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why it's such a big who ha.
Speaker 2: People have made it who hah.
Speaker 3: So he's lost his job and everything to resign from
Speaker 3: his position because the person who was cuddling was a
Speaker 3: member of the HR team and apparently that's a conflict,
Speaker 3: and it was like understandable.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I which, surely she should lose her
Speaker 1: job too, because as the HR person she should know
Speaker 1: about into office.
Speaker 3: As long as it's not impacting your decisions, is perfectly fine. Anyway,
Speaker 3: I'm glad that knows made money out of someone else's suffering,
Speaker 3: which I quite happy about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, moving on.
Speaker 3: You may be aware of the law has changed if
Speaker 3: you're accessing adult content online.
Speaker 2: No no, so now.
Speaker 3: You have to verify your age and it's not just
Speaker 3: a case of going like click. I'm over eighteen. You
Speaker 3: actually have to confirm you over eighteen, right, and there's.
Speaker 2: Ranges of doing that.
Speaker 3: This credit card identification as like using ID, and there's
Speaker 3: also like email identification as well, so you basically you
Speaker 3: use your email dressing can tell from the age of
Speaker 3: your email a dress if you're likely to be overreaked
Speaker 3: or not.
Speaker 1: Oh I see, oh wait, actually yeah, my one of
Speaker 1: my email addresses will be twenty years old this year.
Speaker 2: So it's one of those things.
Speaker 3: So it goes, okay, you email just spin around for
Speaker 3: this time. It does a verification code and jobs are good.
Speaker 3: So yeah, and it's there to protect children. But luckily
Speaker 3: people have worked out as a loophole to this this
Speaker 3: new legislation.
Speaker 1: People people, Okay, that just just that was that was
Speaker 1: just like who needs The only people who would need
Speaker 1: a loophole for this particular piece of legislation would be
Speaker 1: under eighteens.
Speaker 3: All people don't want to share that personal information with
Speaker 3: the adult content sites.
Speaker 1: I mean, all of your other information is shared everywhere
Speaker 1: all the time.
Speaker 2: But the three little letters VPN gets past all of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the government have brought any predictable nipples indeed, yes, yeah,
Speaker 3: very predictable nipples got a lot to be honest, I
Speaker 3: can see.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the government has spent millions of pounds bringing this legislation.
Speaker 3: Companies had to spend millions and billions of pounds sorting out,
Speaker 3: you know, over eighteen access and that sort of stuff
Speaker 3: is there, protect protect children and all you need to
Speaker 3: get around it is a VPN.
Speaker 1: And I don't know any under eighteens who have ever
Speaker 1: looked at naked pictures of people in the world ever, exactly.
Speaker 1: I was very much looking forward to my eighteenth birthday
Speaker 1: so I could find out what all the.
Speaker 3: All who Yeah, yeah, I had never went into a
Speaker 3: forest and found some wet magazine.
Speaker 1: It's always in a hedge or like in a railway siding.
Speaker 2: Why was that the forest near me?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, railway sid always.
Speaker 3: Slightly burnt for some reason of port was always burnt
Speaker 3: so hot.
Speaker 1: Just the pages it's written on.
Speaker 3: Indeed, it's just it's it's a proof that, you know technology,
Speaker 3: you can find a work around very easily. And it's
Speaker 3: also proof that the government, I'm quite sure what the
Speaker 3: darious all the time.
Speaker 1: Some of the time. All right, yeah, sure, fine.
Speaker 3: Hey, they've done very well with the test and trace
Speaker 3: No the other thing, HS two, No.
Speaker 2: The other thing. There's something.
Speaker 1: There's some poppers thing from years ago. Do you remember that?
Speaker 2: No? What's that thing?
Speaker 1: They made poppers illegal for about twenty minutes until they
Speaker 1: realize what they've done, and then they undid it.
Speaker 2: Rumor arises.
Speaker 1: Because I want my room to smell like felt tip pens.
Speaker 3: Anyways, alway, moving on, have you ever met a real
Speaker 3: life superhero?
Speaker 2: No, how do you know?
Speaker 1: Good point?
Speaker 3: Superman's optrometrist adopt what they called optician know that he's Superman.
Speaker 1: Because he's got hypnoglasses.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he takes off the glass Superman. So he takes
Speaker 3: them off and people.
Speaker 1: Go and in the in the in the new movie,
Speaker 1: he is wearing hypno glasses.
Speaker 2: Hypno glasses like the Hypno toad.
Speaker 1: As in they change what your brain sees so that
Speaker 1: you you don't make the connection between Clark Kent and Superman.
Speaker 2: Oh, like a perception filter in Doctor Who exactly.
Speaker 1: And apparently that is like old comics canon. It's like
Speaker 1: the original way that he disguised his identity was that
Speaker 1: his glasses were hypno glasses, not just now in one
Speaker 1: now and the other, but actually a proper a proper
Speaker 1: bit of science there.
Speaker 3: So we're talking about people with extreme abilities like extreme
Speaker 3: cold resistance, super memory, and unique vision.
Speaker 1: Oh right with you? Not as far as I know.
Speaker 1: Tell me more.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: So there's people like the ice Man, okay, Hymn waff
Speaker 3: Right who climbed icy mountains.
Speaker 1: In shorts as wim Hoff.
Speaker 2: Is it wim Hoff?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Not him? One same thing is that whim Hoff?
Speaker 2: No, that's not him. No.
Speaker 3: And then people with synesthetics who can see music and things.
Speaker 1: Yes, a good friend of mine has that made a
Speaker 1: whole album about it. Has made several but he made
Speaker 1: one about the colors of the tube map and what
Speaker 1: the music that they that those colors meant to him.
Speaker 1: So each of the tracks on his album was inspired
Speaker 1: by the color, and the noises it made in his
Speaker 1: head are really good. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know someone that puts colors to names.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, it's like I see it like Dame Barbara
Speaker 3: and it's like I just the yellow from a banana.
Speaker 3: I don't know why, it just that's the yellophant and
Speaker 3: it's just it's it's amazing to see. So scientists believe
Speaker 3: that genetics rare conditions and neurodivergence.
Speaker 2: Actually explain most of these cases, right, So when people
Speaker 2: joke about, oh, neurodiversion, I'm a super here, actually possibly true.
Speaker 3: So yeah, the idea isn't just fiction. It's people that
Speaker 3: go way outside the norms. There's hyper all right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: hyper thesma, which is total recall memory. Okay, so when
Speaker 3: people talk about like an idetic memory and stuff, it's
Speaker 3: about being able to recall absolutely everything. Tetrachromy which is
Speaker 3: seeing more colors, so not just seeing green, seeing like
Speaker 3: intense green and different shades of green.
Speaker 1: Stuff. Yeah, normally need substances for that kind of thing.
Speaker 3: And people like Stephen Wiltshire, who is an artistic savant
Speaker 3: who draws entire cities from memory.
Speaker 1: I've seen, I've seen a thing about him. Yeah. They
Speaker 1: took him on a like a helicopter ride and then
Speaker 1: sat him down with a depending a massive bit of
Speaker 1: paper and he just drew the whole skyline like in
Speaker 1: super detail.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 2: So yeah, superheros they walk among us.
Speaker 1: Well, thanks for that, Mike.
Speaker 2: And what you bring us after the short break River, Well.
Speaker 1: I am going to be talking about a presidential TV show,
Speaker 1: So stay right there.
Speaker 3: Welcome back, to tune the cud now river, I'm guessing
Speaker 3: it's about Trump when you keep talking about president.
Speaker 1: It is indeed, sorry, but hey might as well. Yeah, started,
Speaker 1: so let's carry on, uh South Park, So at least
Speaker 1: it's not anything about Trump himself. It's about people extracting
Speaker 1: the urine, which is always nice, always nice.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and south tastefully and carefully.
Speaker 1: Very classic, very high brown. For example, South Park's season
Speaker 1: twenty seven, I know Sea Lord. It's titled Sermon on
Speaker 1: the Mount okay, and it takes aim at former former
Speaker 1: US President Donald Trump. You heard it here fall sentenced
Speaker 1: the Future.
Speaker 2: I think that a typo.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean he was, he is a former
Speaker 1: and present present. There was one in the middle. They
Speaker 1: didn't really do anything, so it doesn't really care anyway
Speaker 1: of course of breaking u oh, it's depicting him in
Speaker 1: a deep fake style scenario with Satan.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: The episode's outrageous satire cost more than one and a
Speaker 1: half million dollars and as part of the Paramount plus
Speaker 1: deal thing. I don't know, all they're streaming. Things are
Speaker 1: all getting a bit complicated and stuff. They were going
Speaker 1: to amalgamate into one big thing and then we'll just
Speaker 1: have like sky again or whatever it was where they
Speaker 1: all come together. Anyway, the White House has condemned the sketch,
Speaker 1: while the creators defended their content as a biting commentary
Speaker 1: on media censorship and political absud absurdity.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I've seen parts of this episode. Does not
Speaker 3: paint the Dundon in the best of lights.
Speaker 1: Shocking, I know.
Speaker 2: Oh, no, I know, right, But.
Speaker 3: What I also love is they did this in bed
Speaker 3: with Satan thing with Sadam Hussein.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It's not even original,
Speaker 1: it's it's a very.
Speaker 3: Old but they've brought it back specific so they're saying
Speaker 3: that he's as bad as to them.
Speaker 1: Oh biting, I know, timely.
Speaker 2: And that it's also very tiny penis.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I didn't can you do penises on TV? Now?
Speaker 1: I thought that was still a thing, not so much cartoon,
Speaker 1: So oh that makes it okay.
Speaker 3: I think it's after the Watershed as well, and it's
Speaker 3: in America.
Speaker 1: So Trey Parker and what's it Stone have been quoted
Speaker 1: as saying, we're not sorry, and we wield that freedom,
Speaker 1: meaning the freedom of expression, And I think it's the
Speaker 1: First Amendment isn't it some of that I don't know,
Speaker 1: freedom of speech, yes, tis so, Yeah, it should explicit
Speaker 1: content be part of satire. Should we be classier about
Speaker 1: our satire than needing willies and bums?
Speaker 3: And I think wi's going to help satire be more palatable.
Speaker 1: Willies and bums help most things I found.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's one of those things that they've done this
Speaker 3: joke before.
Speaker 1: Was sad, Yeah, it's yeah.
Speaker 2: And it was Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things where if I say, well,
Speaker 1: this seems lazy and just thing the Yeah, and that's
Speaker 1: how we're sticking it to the man by being lazy
Speaker 1: and just read it. I'm like, or you know whatever,
Speaker 1: you need to tell yourself as you rake in all
Speaker 1: that money and do the least possible about work for it,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have an art form at least be creative.
Speaker 1: Like whacking a different dictator's face on the head of
Speaker 1: the person in bed with Satan seems a little bit
Speaker 1: low effort, but hey, what do I.
Speaker 3: Know, technically not a dictator at the moment because he
Speaker 3: was elected.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's enough of him, right you grant Okay. M
Speaker 1: Stein was visibly caught asleep in the Royal box behind
Speaker 1: Queen in the he fell asleep in Queen Camilla's box. Okay,
Speaker 1: during the Wimbledon quarter final.
Speaker 2: It's Wimbledon, s go to cricket, hasn't he? Hey? There
Speaker 2: is there is? Is he just not upset? Rather than
Speaker 2: is that a sleeping person?
Speaker 1: I mean I would pull that face if I was
Speaker 1: being made to watch, I'm going to said cricket. What
Speaker 1: sport is that turning? Either case, it's tedious. I don't
Speaker 1: understand I would be in a similar thing. And so
Speaker 1: what he's like? What sixty odd seventy odd? He sat down,
Speaker 1: it's warm, his comfy, He's probably had a drink suit,
Speaker 1: wearing a suit to go to the to go anywhere
Speaker 1: sports balls? Who really can this? This is one of
Speaker 1: those really important stories. Clearly naturally naturally fashionable in shades
Speaker 1: and attire. He is wearing a tire.
Speaker 2: He is once again not nude.
Speaker 1: Well done him, Well done. Grant snap during the match
Speaker 1: quickly became a viral meme moment, endearing fans who joked
Speaker 1: he must have needed a beauty rest. All right, nap,
Speaker 1: Apparently the commentator so not convinced to you, Grant is awake?
Speaker 1: Someone go and check on him please, which seems unnecessary.
Speaker 1: Leave him alone like him, have a nap.
Speaker 3: Like he's paid one hundred and something thousand pounds. I
Speaker 3: don't know how much ticket is to wimble and no,
Speaker 3: they're not cheap.
Speaker 1: And he's wearing his tennis suit like him. You let
Speaker 1: him have a nap if he wants a nap. Don't
Speaker 1: need you commenting on him. I mean the woman sat
Speaker 1: next to him doesn't look impressed, but then she's wearing
Speaker 1: a dress from Laura Ashley and a wig from the
Speaker 1: party shop. I think so, you know, not really want
Speaker 1: to comment.
Speaker 3: She has a very tanned cleavage. Cleavage is more tanned
Speaker 3: than her face. Just pointing out, I mean, do you
Speaker 3: care what the you other nap at sporting event that
Speaker 3: he went.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're going to go and fall asleep,
Speaker 1: I would say maybe don't go. But then at the
Speaker 1: same time, I'm not going to go ever so and
Speaker 1: someone has to otherwise.
Speaker 2: Because you lived in London for a while, yes, because
Speaker 2: I'm cool. Did you did you ever get tempted to
Speaker 2: triangle to Wimbledon? Why would I to mock people as
Speaker 2: who arecue was well going with.
Speaker 1: Mock people from far far away I don't need to
Speaker 1: get up closed to mock people at Wimbledon. It's anyway.
Speaker 1: I lived in East London because again I'm cool, and
Speaker 1: Wimbledon is far far left hand London, West London.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I always in the east because I'm cool.
Speaker 2: I don't know the rest of the points of the compass.
Speaker 1: Why would I just over there? So the other end
Speaker 1: of the green line not doing that? Get Ben can
Speaker 1: can embarrassment such as this humanize a celebrity rather than.
Speaker 2: The most embarrassing thing he's ever done.
Speaker 1: And it was quite human of him the other thing
Speaker 1: that he did, although he was dating Liz Hurley at
Speaker 1: the time, and you have to think, but he.
Speaker 2: Was dating Liz Hurley and still sometimes you get an itch.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 3: I can see Liz Hurley being quite mainenance, how aminenance,
Speaker 3: because you've got to be I think reference.
Speaker 1: And five dollars is five dollars, so you know Qushing
Speaker 1: On story three, Tom.
Speaker 2: Daily, Okay, he's smirked and perked up a little bit there.
Speaker 1: That's just that's gonna stop there. Tom Daily, just imagine it's.

Speaker 1: The studt was in partnership with Malibu and the Royal
Speaker 1: Life Saving Society of UK of the UK to promote
Speaker 1: there don't Drink and dive campaign. I suppose that the
Speaker 1: knitted trunks do obscure things a bit more than his
Speaker 1: usual super tight Olympic Whoever invented, whoever designed the the
Speaker 1: the the the super tiny trunks that they wear for
Speaker 1: the Olympics should win a medal themselves. I think, like,
Speaker 1: can't fault it perfect, bang on.
Speaker 2: They look itchy.
Speaker 1: Co hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary added to the
Speaker 1: fun by showering daily with water. I had have gone
Speaker 1: with the baby oil, but but wool when it gets wet,
Speaker 1: gets very heavy and it's kind of like a full
Speaker 1: Nappy's just gon slowly edge its way down his per
Speaker 1: pert thighs, is what I'm.
Speaker 2: It's going to just look like a nappy.
Speaker 1: He's still not got any body hair. Do you think

Speaker 1: covered him with a towel for.
Speaker 2: His modesty, MEFA, because I said for his modesty.
Speaker 1: The segment combined lighthearted visuals with crucial advice. Okay, do
Speaker 1: you know what the crucial advice was? Don't eat yellow snow,
Speaker 1: do not drink and dive, which is the name of
Speaker 1: the campaign. So I like that. I've got it all
Speaker 1: in one sec.
Speaker 3: Are people actively going out and getting ratted on a
Speaker 3: Friday night and going, I want to dive on a board.
Speaker 1: Alcohol is involved in one in four drownings in the UK,
Speaker 1: and the risk rises fivefold when the weather gets above
Speaker 1: twenty degrees centigrade. People get dr they get warm, they
Speaker 1: go I'll go cool down. Oh dear, I've forgotten how
Speaker 1: to swim.
