Speaker 1: Welcome, dear listener, and thanks for joining us. I'm Yto
Speaker 1: and I'm Stephen.
Speaker 2: And this is a podcast all about the weird and
Speaker 2: wonderful world of the dark comedy anthology series Inside number nine.
Speaker 1: On each episode, we'll be diving into another one of
Speaker 1: Steve Pemberton and Reese Sheresmith's twisted tales, putting it under
Speaker 1: a lens and examining it within an inch of its life.
Speaker 2: So make yourself comfortable, grab a cup of tea, and
Speaker 2: join us for the ninth degree.
Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, welcome back, welcome back.
Speaker 2: How are you doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm okay. How are you? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Good, thank you? Just back from a weekend in Manchester
Speaker 2: for Pride. So that's one.
Speaker 1: Was that good?
Speaker 2: Yeah it was really good. Busy, I bet yeah, but
Speaker 2: really good. We saw the wonderful delights of Bewitched. If
Speaker 2: anyone knows any songs by them, they manage to fill
Speaker 2: forty minutes with their one song.
Speaker 1: So what song is that, se LEVI, Oh, I don't
Speaker 1: know it.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to sing it. This may be about karaoke,
Speaker 2: but I do not do I was going.
Speaker 1: To say, give them. Given the nature of the episode,
Speaker 1: I was wondering if we should sing the whole thing.
Speaker 2: But we may lose our listeners at my end at least. Anyway,
Speaker 2: did you get try anything that we can't?
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I went, me and my boyfriend, we went
Speaker 1: to stay with my parents for a few days so
Speaker 1: that they're basically they're in the process of in the
Speaker 1: long term, in the process of retiring to the countryside,
Speaker 1: and so we Yeah, we went to stay in their
Speaker 1: nice country house. That makes it sound really fancy. It's
Speaker 1: not that fancy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm seeing High Claire and everything like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my parents are moving to Downton Abbey and they're
Speaker 1: going to have servants anyway. Yeah, so that was nice.
Speaker 1: It's nice just to you know, do some cozy little
Speaker 1: things like holiday things, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We played a game that I really enjoyed. I think
Speaker 1: you'd like it.
Speaker 2: That's our Danes in the Country Pile. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's it's a little game with cards. It's called Shot
Speaker 1: in the Dark.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: It's basically a quiz kind of thing where they give
Speaker 1: you a question, then you have to all say a
Speaker 1: number that you think the answer is, and then whoever's
Speaker 1: closest gets the point. All right, Yeah, and yeah, it's
Speaker 1: quite right up my street.
Speaker 2: Sounds good. I love it.
Speaker 1: Quiz One of the questions, for example, was how many
Speaker 1: muscles are there in your fingers?
Speaker 2: Oh Jesus, but each one are all fingers combined all together? Muscles? Well?
Speaker 2: Are there?
Speaker 1: That was yeah that No, there aren't any. That was
Speaker 1: the trick of the question, that there are. They're all
Speaker 1: in your hands, the ones.
Speaker 2: That forearms, aren't they.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that was fun when point yeah, you get
Speaker 1: a point. Yeah. There's also one that I thought was interesting,
Speaker 1: which I've not heard of before, but it said the
Speaker 1: shortest ever war was fought between the UK and Zanzibar
Speaker 1: in eighteen ninety six, and it was how long did
Speaker 1: it last?
Speaker 2: I did know this. I do remember this being a fact.
Speaker 2: It's all of like forty minutes, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're two minutes off. It's thirty eight minutes. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just thought that was fascinating. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I do remember it being stupidly short. I thought I
Speaker 2: was over exaggerating how short it wasn't Yeah, that's about
Speaker 2: as long as it takes to get together the paperwork
Speaker 2: to sign that it's over right exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So yeah, I like that game. This is not.
Speaker 1: It's not an advert. It's not sponsored, but.
Speaker 2: Please sponsor us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what was our episode title from last week?
Speaker 2: What was it?
Speaker 1: Let's have a little flashback. Shall we break well? Breaking in?
Speaker 1: But then she says technically not breaking in? Yeah, because
Speaker 1: their boyfriend Simon said that all professors keep a spare
Speaker 1: key above their glory.
Speaker 2: Hold, hang on, hang on the episode, Simon says not.
Speaker 2: Simon said, let's try that again. Professor Squire's has gone
Speaker 2: to these judges and says that it's a you, not
Speaker 2: a V in this word, and Simon says, it's a you.
Speaker 1: There we go, that's more like it.
Speaker 2: If we could trick you all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think red Herrings.
Speaker 2: We're getting we're getting too cocky with this.
Speaker 1: We are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll bit us on the ass when we get
Speaker 2: to pairds watch for Phobia sail alone Hide, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2: But yeah, we put off talking about this long enough.
Speaker 1: I know. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So we're back this week with Empty Orchestra, episode four
Speaker 2: of series three, and.
Speaker 1: Our souls are empty as well from having watched it.
Speaker 2: It might be a bit of a downer episode. This
Speaker 2: is not one of my favorites. Guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's let's be cool so I didn't really remember
Speaker 1: much about it, but yeah, having rewatched it twice for this, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's probably not one of my favorites either, But that's
Speaker 1: not to say that it's completely worthless.
Speaker 2: No, and I'll be honest. I did enjoy it more
Speaker 2: than I remembered enjoying.
Speaker 1: It fair enough. That's good.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's still not one of my favorites by
Speaker 2: a long stretch.
Speaker 1: Oh, definitely not.
Speaker 2: But it was better than I remember it being. Okay,
Speaker 2: so that's a bonus.
Speaker 1: It is a bonus.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But two inside number nine wiki for a synopsis,
Speaker 2: Roger celebrates his promotion with a full on old school
Speaker 2: karaoke session. What ensues is an evening of hopes, dreams, betrayal, intrigue, romance,
Speaker 2: and an awful lot of singing. Can you tell I
Speaker 2: don't read these before?
Speaker 1: I I was just thinking what you said, an awful
Speaker 1: lot of singing. You could phrase it a lot of
Speaker 1: awful singing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it works both ways. I do like that
Speaker 2: it's sort of an attempt at a sort of a
Speaker 2: musical episode, and normally a fan of a musical, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm not such a fan of jukebox musicals no, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did. I read as well that this was
Speaker 1: intended originally to be fully musical. Yeah, but they obviously
Speaker 1: they couldn't get that to work.
Speaker 2: No, there's some some of these things like the like
Speaker 2: quite night in where you're like, what can we and
Speaker 2: then they manage it this would I can't see that working.
Speaker 1: That would never have worked. No, I'm not sure for
Speaker 1: me how well the musical aspect of it works, like hmmm,
Speaker 1: because I think the idea obviously is that whatever songs
Speaker 1: come up are supposed to be sort of relevant, and
Speaker 1: you know, and they are a little bit, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't feel to me like they're really sort of advancing
Speaker 1: the story in any way.
Speaker 2: They're not. No, it's just like, oh aren't we sad?
Speaker 2: Or hear's a song about something that references a sad thing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not really adding any extra nuance to it.
Speaker 1: I did like the line from Steve's characters, Oh, it's
Speaker 1: not just going to be one song after another. Is
Speaker 1: it sums up the episode? Really, doesn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: And my dad's view on musicals in general.
Speaker 1: I remember watching Oliver or something like that with my
Speaker 1: mum once and her saying, but what I don't understand
Speaker 1: is how do they all know the dance moves? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my sister as well, pretty the same thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a valid question.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm never sure how much it was straining
Speaker 2: too much into just about musicals. But how much of
Speaker 2: what is in the musical in a song is actually
Speaker 2: really happening? Yeah, and how much how much is sort
Speaker 2: of imaginary? Exactly what's really happened in the last three
Speaker 2: minutes exactly.
Speaker 1: I think when it comes to musicals, you can't be
Speaker 1: looking too much into the reality of it. It's just
Speaker 1: it's a It's a medium to tell a story, isn't it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I know what you mean.
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on karaoke? By the way, are
Speaker 2: you karaoke.
Speaker 1: In general as a as a concept.
Speaker 2: It's something you enjoy?
Speaker 1: Well, I've never. I've never really done it, like I've
Speaker 1: I don't have a life, so I've never. I've never
Speaker 1: gone out and sung it myself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've only ever done at house parties. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: hate it though. For me, it's just it's just mothers
Speaker 2: absolutely ruining abba songs and straight guys. Butcher miss the
Speaker 2: bright side. It's just and sweet Caroline. That's all they
Speaker 2: seems to want to sing.
Speaker 1: Over and now, yeah, there are staples, aren't they that
Speaker 1: people just go to?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm told I can't carry tune in a bucket,
Speaker 2: so ah, well, yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't vouch for that because I've not heard you sing,
Speaker 1: but think yourself lucky. Yeah, I mean, I quite like singing.
Speaker 1: I run the choir at school that I work at.
Speaker 1: But it's like, yeah, I know what you mean. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess it's something just people just do
Speaker 1: when they're drunk, and it's just like it's never going
Speaker 1: to sound great, is it.
Speaker 2: No, that's the thing for me. I'm just I'm too
Speaker 2: embarrassed that I'm like, I'm not arrogant or obnoxious enough
Speaker 2: to think that I'll put for people through this and
Speaker 2: they'll just want to deal with it. My ideal karaoke
Speaker 2: song is something instrumental, I feel, or at best, like
Speaker 2: the Tequila song.
Speaker 1: Four minutes thirty three by John Cage. Yeah yeah, I
Speaker 1: wind Ben up sometimes when he's singing, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: do you requests like something instrumental? So our number nine
Speaker 1: is a karaoke room in a karaoke booth club or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, which I like it's a bit different.
Speaker 1: It is different. Yeah, you can say that for it, definitely.
Speaker 1: And everyone's in fancy dress, yes.
Speaker 2: Which adds an extra nice little layer to it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it would be quite boring if they were all just
Speaker 2: there in their work gear, I suppose.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, it would be even more boring.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It helps differentiate the people a bit, it does.
Speaker 2: I'm going to mess up everyone's names, but yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay. So we've got Greg who's played by Reese Yes,
Speaker 1: Sumo man, which so that mostly they're dressed like pop stars.
Speaker 2: Yes, except oh he was he was thinking he was
Speaker 2: a side from Gangnam Style, wasn't he apparently?
Speaker 1: Yeah? So yeah, interesting. And then you've got conn Connie.
Speaker 2: That is God, she's awful. Oh, I think she might
Speaker 2: be one of the worst characters in the whole series
Speaker 2: for me, how horrible she is for no reason.
Speaker 1: That's the bulk of my notes that just she is
Speaker 1: such a bitch, disgusting. Yeah, played brilliantly.
Speaker 2: Just horrible, horrible person to someone that's well, I suppose
Speaker 2: we don't know the backstory. Janet for all we know,
Speaker 2: might be an awful person, but as far as we know,
Speaker 2: she just hates her for no reason at.
Speaker 1: All for being deaf.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, vile person, oh awful?
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I have plenty to say about her.
Speaker 1: We'll come to that as we get through it.
Speaker 2: But who else we've got. We've got fran Fran the Great,
Speaker 2: Sarah Headland, yes as Britney Spears.
Speaker 1: I guess yes, I think I recognized them all who
Speaker 1: they were dressed as, apart from Janet is apparently boy George,
Speaker 1: Boy George. Yeah, yeah, I didn't get that one.
Speaker 2: Culture Club Days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I'm so out of my comfort zone with
Speaker 1: this episode.
Speaker 2: Dwayne as Michael.
Speaker 1: Jackson yet got that one? Yeah?
Speaker 2: And Roger as.
Speaker 1: Himself himself, the clown knows.
Speaker 2: The clown knows and one of his best accents. Oh
Speaker 2: my god, I can't wait for all your impressions.
Speaker 1: It's so broad. It's so broad. I have to say something.
Speaker 1: I can't watch Roger without thinking of my colleague, right, who,
Speaker 1: funnily enough, is the one person at work that I've
Speaker 1: talked to about Inside Number nine because he quite likes
Speaker 1: recent Steve's work. And he said to me that he
Speaker 1: watched this episode and he quite liked it. And I
Speaker 1: didn't really say much more about it, but I'm now
Speaker 1: wondering if he watched it and he just recognized himself
Speaker 1: in it because he looked he is exactly like my colleague,
Speaker 1: even the brummy accent, the glasses that the hair like. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't listen to this, but yeah, the
Speaker 1: accent is crazy, isn't it. And I love the fact
Speaker 1: that they chose what snake what they're going to see
Speaker 1: because it's so perfect in their nextcent wart Snake.
Speaker 2: Box at the Royal Albut oh, bless him. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: is a funny old accent. Yes, and it's just certain
Speaker 2: words that he so goes the town on with, Yes,
Speaker 2: especially his little speech towards the end. So we start
Speaker 2: with Reese, So what forgot first? Don't you want me?
Speaker 2: Human league?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: With him and and Connie mm hm, oh they're just gross. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's bad enough that he's having an affair, but to.
Speaker 1: Rubbing in her face like almost I think I think
Speaker 1: Connie is slightly worse than Greg with it, because you know,
Speaker 1: he's he's trying to hide it a little bit, but
Speaker 1: she obviously she's got an interest in it, falling to
Speaker 1: bits finding out anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so just doesn't care?
Speaker 1: No, Oh god, she's awful. Oh she's so bad. We
Speaker 1: all know people like that as well. That's the thing, like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is it.
Speaker 2: The worst people are there's so many of them. It's
Speaker 2: not like the worst people are the Hitler's out there,
Speaker 2: like obviously they're bad, but the really bad, the bad
Speaker 2: people are just everywhere like her, just day to day. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just like, why are you making life harder than it
Speaker 2: needs to be?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, she's obviously got issues and confidence issues of
Speaker 1: her own. I think that's why she's trying to pull
Speaker 1: other people down and make herself feel better. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's disgusting. Just want to slap.
Speaker 2: Her as as friend does.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, good, I can understand as well. I can
Speaker 1: understand why Greg perhaps isn't the happiest with Fran because
Speaker 1: she is. She is a bit irritating.
Speaker 2: Well, she seems nice enough.
Speaker 1: She oh she's nice. But yeah, maybe I'm just being harsh.
Speaker 1: But no, you do you feel sorry for her? Like
Speaker 1: skipping way ahead? But when she gets promoted at the
Speaker 1: end and she immediately likes hugging him and bouncing up
Speaker 1: and down and can we look for a bigger flat
Speaker 1: now and all that. Yeah, and obviously the dramatica and
Speaker 1: you know what's going on. Yeah, it's quite sad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, bless her. But it's the fact that it's
Speaker 2: sounder knows that. Yeah, it's just extra crawl.
Speaker 1: And I do question, like, does she really have no idea?
Speaker 1: Is she really that oblivious? I guess so, considering how
Speaker 1: much she reacts when she finds out, because yeah, but
Speaker 1: it does seem like so screamingly obvious.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they don't seem to be hiding it, but
Speaker 2: then they are drinking, so I suppose maybe they're more
Speaker 2: careful normally, Yeah, because they do that thing that really
Speaker 2: annoys me in TV stuff where we'll talk to each
Speaker 2: other in the same room as someone else when there's
Speaker 2: no music playing and they can't hear us because they're
Speaker 2: not in the camera shop. Yeah, and everyone to be
Speaker 2: able to hear what's going on in that room, it's
Speaker 2: on of like four meters square at most.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, you know what I mean, because.
Speaker 2: I know obviously it hinges on Janet being able to
Speaker 2: lip read, but she could have picked that up regardless. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she knows exactly what's going on. She doesn't need to
Speaker 2: be able to read what they're saying.
Speaker 1: Oh, no, that's a good point. Actually, the lip read
Speaker 1: thing is this big reveal of oh gosh, she's understood
Speaker 1: everything that we've said, but you know, she's seen you
Speaker 1: kissing him and putting your hand down the back of
Speaker 1: his costume and all that. Like, yeah, it's not exactly
Speaker 1: rocket science.
Speaker 2: And also how much of a big reveal can it be?
Speaker 2: Surely they would know she can lip read if they
Speaker 2: work with her exactly. I don't really get that.
Speaker 1: Well, no, with I think with Connie, it's the idea
Speaker 1: that she has no interest in her. I suppose she
Speaker 1: wouldn't she and she thinks she's stupid and this and that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I suppose she wouldn't have even wouldn't even cross their mind,
Speaker 1: I think. But it's even that face she does when
Speaker 1: she says I can lip read, and then Connie just
Speaker 1: obviously it's an audio medium. I can't do an impression
Speaker 1: of it, but that face, yeah, like so what yeah, ugh,
Speaker 1: slap slap her.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm glad that this is one of the few
Speaker 2: episodes that sort of has a happy ending, which is nice. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know we're jumping ahead, but it's all right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2: Rare that we get them with a happy ending and
Speaker 2: the right people get the right come upances and m And.
Speaker 1: That's one of the things that makes it not feel
Speaker 1: very insudnum benign y. Yeah, I mean all the stuff
Speaker 1: where usually there would be these sort of perilous moments
Speaker 1: for it all to go wrong and horribly wrong and
Speaker 1: dark and this and that. You know, so we've got
Speaker 1: Dwayne has got these pills. But yeah, you know that
Speaker 1: could have been and that could have be an opportunity
Speaker 1: for something quite dark to take over, but they kind
Speaker 1: of sidestep that.
Speaker 2: I think the first time I watched it, I expected
Speaker 2: someone was going to die m from some sort of
Speaker 2: reaction to whatever these drugs are that they've got. But
Speaker 2: I guess that in itself is the twist that there
Speaker 2: isn't a twist as such. Yeah, and it is just
Speaker 2: quite mundane and boring. The guy's getting divorced in someone's
Speaker 2: and he's leaving. That's about it.
Speaker 1: And also, you know, we've just had the riddle of
Speaker 1: the Sphinx's I'm getting cut off and eating and all that, Like,
Speaker 1: where do you go from there?
Speaker 2: I remember reading that exactly was the quote for Steve
Speaker 2: Gabe exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got to do something different, So that's what
Speaker 1: they did.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and it is like I always said before,
Speaker 2: with the like Nana's Party type episodes, just a group
Speaker 2: of people, drama situation like the stage play, the ape
Speaker 2: Bonnie type thing of the interplay between the people and
Speaker 2: it's something going to happen thing. Again, I'm not a
Speaker 2: fan of but I guess people are. So. I was
Speaker 2: surprised having a look online that this is not a
Speaker 2: particularly massively loved episode, but there are people that say
Speaker 2: it's one of their favorites. Yeah, find wild. I stumbled
Speaker 2: across a Reddit thread where people were saying how they
Speaker 2: love it so much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, good for those people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, don't understand it, but good for them.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And if you're listening and you think we're tearing
Speaker 1: it to shreds and you love it, then sorry, we
Speaker 1: are sorry. You know, I think we are trying not
Speaker 1: to be too yeah, too harsh. But you know, that's
Speaker 1: the wonderful thing about opinions that we can all have different.
Speaker 2: Months and anthology programs, yes, so that you can have
Speaker 2: an entirely different story every week and you might not
Speaker 2: chime with one, but you will be next week's or
Speaker 2: vice versa. I'm sure there's plenty of episodes that we've
Speaker 2: raved about that people hated. So what forgot? What song
Speaker 2: have we gotten next? Saturday Night? Oh my god, lady,
Speaker 2: hell that song goes on for ages? Please? No.
Speaker 1: If I had to hear Sarah Hadlin going Saturday Day
Speaker 1: night again.
Speaker 2: She watched the words on the screen. She's not even
Speaker 2: singing the words and over again. Yeah, they do have
Speaker 2: a few more. I mean, there aren't many more words,
Speaker 2: but there are more than she bothers to sing.
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to be going to sleep with
Speaker 1: that looping in my head Saturday night.
Speaker 2: I do remember thinking that the continuity must have been
Speaker 2: a nightmare in this because if they had to cut
Speaker 2: from a different angle like yes, and obvious the music
Speaker 2: will be added on later, but the words have to
Speaker 2: be in the right place exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe it was quite a technical nightmare.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was.
Speaker 1: And I think they all had they all had hidden
Speaker 1: ear pieces with the track playing right, so they could
Speaker 1: do it that way.
Speaker 2: But yeah, sinking it up to the words, yeah, because
Speaker 2: it's almost always you can see the words.
Speaker 1: Oh that as well?
Speaker 2: Yeah, god yeah, yeah, And it's not just seeing the words.
Speaker 2: It's seeing which word is being said right now? My god,
Speaker 2: how karaokeviously works with the coloring in that it's yeah,
Speaker 2: you can't just get it vaguely right, yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: you can't. How many people are really paying attention to
Speaker 2: it that closely, but we're not continuity. People are like
Speaker 2: they want it to be spot on, which must have
Speaker 2: been a nightmare.
Speaker 1: Yeah, quite a challenge.
Speaker 2: Oh and we skipped over Rocha Lashians, Yeah, which it
Speaker 2: did check up on and letters are all correct. I know.
Speaker 1: I was thinking they took far too long when I
Speaker 1: first saw it. I thought I was looking at the
Speaker 1: car bit and thinking there's no U in congratulations and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yes there is.
Speaker 2: But it does work. It does work.
Speaker 1: It does work.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I remember seeing them putting it up at the
Speaker 2: start and being right, and I'm like, well that's not right.
Speaker 2: It is wrong late, and then realize that they drop
Speaker 2: it and they all go everywhere that makes sense? Can
Speaker 2: Fran just not spell? How? Why does he think that
Speaker 2: she's good for this promotion which you can't even spell congratulations?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, before they've even got drunk.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the big plot element of this envelope that
Speaker 1: is Roger has it with a list of names on it,
Speaker 1: and Greg's obsessed with trying to see it so he
Speaker 1: can see who's going to be fired or major Sundant
Speaker 1: rather Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: WHI there's a whole lot of stakes.
Speaker 1: I don't really care, Abel, I know what you mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like even if he finds out, okay, well
Speaker 2: you're gonna find out in an hour.
Speaker 1: Any Yeah, there's not much he can do about it.
Speaker 1: It's funny that Greg seems far more concerned about it
Speaker 1: than anyone else.
Speaker 2: You know why.
Speaker 1: M hm.
Speaker 2: Obviously doesn't want to lose your job, but I guess
Speaker 2: he's happy when it's Fran, or he thinks it is, Yeah,
Speaker 2: because then that's a nice easy way to get her
Speaker 2: out of out of work and he can not have
Speaker 2: to hide things as much.
Speaker 1: And yeah it's grim yeah why they also horrible?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then poor Fran gets a door to the
Speaker 2: face as well, or does she part of the whole
Speaker 2: situation When she's trying to sneak the list out of
Speaker 2: the pocket that's on the door, just as is it,
Speaker 2: Dwayne comes back in and smashes the door into her face.
Speaker 1: Oh I don't think I missed that.
Speaker 2: A bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, shame it's not Connie, So I think we should
Speaker 1: talk about Janet a bit. It is good representation to
Speaker 1: have a deaf character played by a deaf actress as well.
Speaker 2: It is. And she said that she couldn't speak highly
Speaker 2: enough of the production team and how well they treated
Speaker 2: her and how she didn't feel like the token deaf person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is lovely. Which is fantastic, especially given this
Speaker 1: was made like have a long ago.
Speaker 2: Twenty seventeen. Yeah, it's like it could have been awful. Yeah,
Speaker 2: still back then. So that's nice.
Speaker 1: That is good. But yeah, she's a lovely character. You really,
Speaker 1: I think warm to her in the episode.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she is very sweet and just getting shat on
Speaker 2: by everyone for no reason.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. Connie is obviously overt about it being horrible.
Speaker 1: And then you've got Dwayne who almost patronizes her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's that moment when supposedly there's this pill roulette thing
Speaker 1: and everyone's having a go at that, and then he
Speaker 1: says to her about, oh, it's all right, you don't
Speaker 1: have to as if her being deaf has anything to
Speaker 1: do with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if anyone else protested, he would have been
Speaker 2: more like oh, go for it, don't be boring or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they all just sort of pussyfoot around her and m yeah,
Speaker 2: which must be tough. Yes, I do wish that it
Speaker 2: wasn't so so like that the croux of the episode
Speaker 2: being not crocks off, but that she can lip read. Like,
Speaker 2: it would have been nice if it if her deafness
Speaker 2: wasn't really integral to the plot. It was just she
Speaker 2: just happened to be deaf. Yeah, I don't like it
Speaker 2: where it's well, if you don't serve a purpose to
Speaker 2: the script, why not be in inverted commas? Normal? Yeah,
Speaker 2: Like I remember thinking that it wasn't a great film,
Speaker 2: But did you ever watch The Eternals, the Marvel film. Nope,
Speaker 2: it didn't do very well. But that had a gay
Speaker 2: character in it, it had a deaf character in it, It
Speaker 2: had various different minority characters, but that played no bearing
Speaker 2: on the story whatsoever. And I was like, that's how
Speaker 2: you do representation. You don't go, well, we need someone
Speaker 2: that can no braille, so let's have someone that's blind,
Speaker 2: because it serves this point in the plot later. Yes,
Speaker 2: it would have been nice if if she'd just gone,
Speaker 2: you know, they'd said whatever. She'd gone, Well, yeah, it
Speaker 2: might be deaf, but that I'm not an idiot. I
Speaker 2: can see what's going on, Like, yeah, you're right, And
Speaker 2: it hadn't been that she can lip read. It's just
Speaker 2: that she's got eyes and she can see. It's it's
Speaker 2: not anything to do with her deafness.
Speaker 1: I think there's two ways of doing it. And I
Speaker 1: think I think it's important to have incidental representation, like
Speaker 1: you say, where it has nothing to do with anything.
Speaker 1: But I think it's also important to have representation where
Speaker 1: it is like part of the plot. You can have both,
Speaker 1: but like in this case, it does feel a bit,
Speaker 1: like you say, just like convenient that her deafness just
Speaker 1: is what enabled her to save the day as it were.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but did you hear about how the actress Emily
Speaker 2: Howlett had learnt how to sing for it?
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she didn't, being deaf, didn't really have any concept
Speaker 2: of how singing works.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, she wasn't even aware of the concept
Speaker 1: of high and low notes and what that means. And
Speaker 1: I've I've always found that fascinating as a as a
Speaker 1: musician myself, Like, yeah, the fact that we think of
Speaker 1: high notes and low notes as high and low, which
Speaker 1: is like a positional thing. Yeah, and why that is
Speaker 1: And obviously you know, if you're deaf and you've got
Speaker 1: no frame of reference, Yeah, it's wild you wouldn't have
Speaker 1: a clue. So yeah, it's incredible what she managed to
Speaker 1: do for this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I saw that. I don't know how true
Speaker 2: it is because I've got this from Reddit, but apparently
Speaker 2: in an interview with Stephen Reese, they'd said that she
Speaker 2: was actually really quite good, and they'd had to in
Speaker 2: post make her timing sound a bit more off to
Speaker 2: make it sound more fitting of how to match her
Speaker 2: confidence of the character. I mean, yes, she seemed too good. Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she did so much homework for it. Yeah. Yeah, Wow, it's.
Speaker 2: Crazy how much work actors put in for what is
Speaker 2: half an hour's worth of screen time learning how to
Speaker 2: sing from scratch.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So you've got Roger that's just announced that he's getting divorced. Yes,
Speaker 2: and then in their infinite wisdom, go with I know
Speaker 2: him so well.
Speaker 1: From Jet Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like to hope that that was already the next
Speaker 2: song that was going to be playing, but they all
Speaker 2: seem like Dix and I'm not sure that it.
Speaker 1: Was no, Well, I think I think Fran is a
Speaker 1: bit sorry, but I think think she's a bit thick.
Speaker 2: Hmm. Do you remember didn't even consider.
Speaker 1: It, like a sensitive person might have skipped that song.
Speaker 1: But Dwayne's just like, oh, well done, Fran, like that
Speaker 1: it was ironic.
Speaker 2: Yes, she's got I knowing so well with a lame
Speaker 2: page and the other one that Fran and Connie saying
Speaker 2: bless him in the middle, just smiling along while these
Speaker 2: two women effectively fight over him when Mom doesn't even
Speaker 2: know she's doing it. Yeah, Connie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's another example of how horrible she is. It's
Speaker 1: just every single everything.
Speaker 2: It's the my God and everything she does, every bit,
Speaker 2: every line she has is horrible breaking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like I can't remember exactly what she says,
Speaker 1: but there's one bit where she makes a joke at
Speaker 1: Janet's expense, and then Janet comes in and she's like, oh, sorry,
Speaker 1: did you say something? And she she can't bother to
Speaker 1: repeat it because it was it was not to her.
Speaker 1: It was just a joke at her expense, being tone
Speaker 1: deaf or something, that was it. Yes, Yeah, and that
Speaker 1: bit where she goes, I don't make him repeat it.
Speaker 1: Have some sensitivity for once in your life, like, oh,
Speaker 1: fuck off, fuck off.
Speaker 2: Oh turns out to it does a great job with it.
Speaker 1: I'm just going to say that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she really makes you hate this character.
Speaker 1: Also, Connie obviously takes Dwayne's phone and sends that fake
Speaker 1: text to Janet, which, again, oh my god, she's acting
Speaker 1: like a bloody schoolgirl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just stirring it up for the sake of it
Speaker 2: and just yeah, she can tell that she likes Dwayne. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and she just wants to humiliate her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that whole bit where she says to someone
Speaker 1: else about oh have you seen this, she's all over
Speaker 1: him and all that, as if she thinks that she
Speaker 1: doesn't deserve you know, romance or.
Speaker 2: Whatever, especially when she's all over Greg. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know what she's got against her, No, it's
Speaker 1: just that she she thinks that like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: these people come in and take my jobs away from
Speaker 1: me and all that, and she thinks that, oh, she's
Speaker 1: only got where she is because people feel sorry for hers.
Speaker 2: What she says, Yeah, yeah, But then, as I said,
Speaker 2: we only see this is one night out that we've seen.
Speaker 2: They might have all worked together for the past ten years,
Speaker 2: and there might be history going on for all we know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but at the end of the day, if we
Speaker 1: were supposed to take that from it, they'd have shown
Speaker 1: us that. So I think we had to take what
Speaker 1: we've seen at face value. And Janet's obviously a sympathetic
Speaker 1: character when he's a bitch. Yeah, that's all there is
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 2: So then we get the reveal that Roger has to
Speaker 2: make someone redundant and has chosen to bender La krem
Speaker 2: himself and sack himself, which I don't know how that
Speaker 2: would really work in terms of he's not in the
Speaker 2: same job Paul as they are, Like if he makes
Speaker 2: himself redundant, but then they need to backfill his role
Speaker 2: and then they'll hire externally, and potentially just because he's
Speaker 2: recommended friend doesn't mean she's getting the job.
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't.
Speaker 2: He might get replaced and then still one of them has.
Speaker 1: To go yeah, yeah, unless he's had the conversation and
Speaker 1: they you know, they know that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, it's not very realistic.
Speaker 2: No, we don't even have any idea what this company does.
Speaker 1: No, it's something to do with sales, because right, because
Speaker 1: Greg is worried about not having done very well on sales.
Speaker 2: Right, But isn't every company about sales. Ultimately, in some
Speaker 2: shape or form, every company is selling something.
Speaker 1: Welcome to capitalism.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I haven't a clue and we know no
Speaker 2: idea how big this company is. It could be twenty
Speaker 2: people or it could be two thousand people, with no
Speaker 2: real idea. Because if Frands getting recommended to the board
Speaker 2: for this job and she's the best they can offer,
Speaker 2: I don't think this company's going very far.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah. It's also funny watching it,
Speaker 1: like knowing what that little conversation he has with her
Speaker 1: is about. It's about he's offering her this promotion, but
Speaker 1: they have to play it as if he's told her
Speaker 1: that he's making her redundant. Yeah, so she's got to
Speaker 1: do that sort of double meaning acting and I just
Speaker 1: find that a bit awkward.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I guess there's an element of it is
Speaker 2: that she's sad that he's leaving. Yes, Yeah, and she's
Speaker 2: being one of the few nice people in the room
Speaker 2: of not going I've got a great job, and like
Speaker 2: in his face of when he's saying he's leaving his
Speaker 2: job and his life's falling to bits, and he's moving
Speaker 2: to a different country to go away from it all.
Speaker 2: Maybe she is nice, yeah, but she doesn't seem all
Speaker 2: that competent. No, maybe I've just seen too much Miranda
Speaker 2: and I can't imagine her being all that useful.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I was wondering why she didn't sing Proud
Speaker 1: by Her the Small song. So then we obviously we
Speaker 1: get the reveal that it's not that at all. It's
Speaker 1: like you said, Benda La kreming himself.
Speaker 2: Interesting if you know, you know a yeah.
Speaker 1: But yeah, God, I can't get over his accent when
Speaker 1: he's walking up and down the line of them and
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, I've been tesked with letting one of
Speaker 1: you good people go and hard abited.
Speaker 2: We just really choose certain words.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a really delicious accent to do. Apparently
Speaker 1: it's one of the least enjoyed accents to listen to.
Speaker 2: I don't want to put off our listeners in Birmingham.
Speaker 1: But it's not me saying it's not enjoyable. It's the public.
Speaker 1: The public have spoken. The public have spoken. Yeah, then
Speaker 1: you've got this hen party that come in and invade.
Speaker 2: Oh fucking hen parties. Yes, so I live in York
Speaker 2: and ninety people a night our a hen party. I
Speaker 2: don't know how many people are getting married. They come
Speaker 2: to your because they think it's posh and classy, and
Speaker 2: then they throw up all over it and it's just
Speaker 2: inflatable dicks and feather bowers everywhere. Yeah, and it's like,
Speaker 2: I'll get out leave yeah, parties, I.
Speaker 1: Bet I just it really irrationally annoys me. That bit
Speaker 1: when they come in and they're like, oh, we've got
Speaker 1: it till half passed and they're like, oh, well it's
Speaker 1: nearly half passed now, like no wait.
Speaker 2: Although that said, that is the bit where they seem
Speaker 2: to enjoy the night out of the most.
Speaker 1: It's nice and it does make a good atmosphere for
Speaker 1: the end because the whole reveal of like oh look
Speaker 1: they've got lipstick showing up in the UV light, Like
Speaker 1: that wouldn't work so well if it was just the
Speaker 1: people from the office. Yeah, in the room. It's nice
Speaker 1: that it's more of a crowded room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the end works quite nicely. Yeah, it's a good
Speaker 2: sort of it's nice seeing them all happy old good ones.
Speaker 2: Happy Roger dancing away with a random woman. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's about twenty shots deep by this point, isn't he.
Speaker 2: Oh you're just there taking after after shot offering tickets
Speaker 2: to White Snake.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I wonder if she looks words nice.
Speaker 2: Is she?
Speaker 1: Is she singing karaoke or is she just lip syncing
Speaker 1: to a song? I don't know, because she sounds really good.
Speaker 1: If she's singing good, sounds like an actual pop star
Speaker 1: or something like. I think it's a sea song David
Speaker 1: Ghetter featuring Sire.
Speaker 2: Oh maybe. Yeah, I don't know. It's Titanium David Ghetter,
Speaker 2: but I didn't. I'm not sure who the singer on
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's featuring here, that is it. I looked it
Speaker 1: up earlier.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she does do a good job if she is singing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's delicious. When when you see all fault bits for
Speaker 2: Connie and.
Speaker 1: Greg, Oh yeah, I want it.
Speaker 2: I wanted more than just a slapping her fran that is.
Speaker 2: But they're miserable. They're now both fired, not got a job,
Speaker 2: which doesn't feel very hr safe. I feel like they've
Speaker 2: got grounds for a tribunal, yes on fair dismission.
Speaker 1: But there's plenty that they can bring up about them
Speaker 1: true unprofessional conduct, I'm sure, and.
Speaker 2: I guess they could dig up something.
Speaker 1: I'm bullying Janet and yeah, yeah, ugh indeed, And then
Speaker 1: we've got this strange pairing off of Duane with Janet.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't buy it.
Speaker 1: When earlier in the episode he said to her, look,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't like you that way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is fine, which is.
Speaker 1: Fine, But now I'm wondering, you know, was he just
Speaker 1: saying that because he was too shy or nervous or whatever,
Speaker 1: or has he suddenly changed his mind because he saw
Speaker 1: what she did for fran Oh No, this is a.
Speaker 2: Bit I just didn't connect with. I felt like they
Speaker 2: felt like they had to give everyone a happy ending. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and that would be hers. Yeah, because it very much
Speaker 2: felt like he wasn't interested in that way and that
Speaker 2: was fine, And then all of a sudden he is,
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden he is, Yeah, Yes.
Speaker 1: It's just you know, maybe it's just they're all a
Speaker 1: bit drunk and you know, it's not that significant, but
Speaker 1: maybe maybe, Yeah, it was a bit strange.
Speaker 2: It is, But like I say, it's nice that we
Speaker 2: have a happy ending for the people that deserve it
Speaker 2: M for once. Yeah, no one died, no one ended
Speaker 2: up chained up in a basement, no one ended up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just wish that Connie had all those things. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we've exhausted the plot probably, probably.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: I just found it quite a frustrating experience to watch,
Speaker 1: because the constant noise, the constant music, the constant bad singing,
Speaker 1: the shouting over the music to hear the dialogue. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just find it very overwhelming and a bit like
Speaker 1: why am I watching this? It's not very it's not
Speaker 1: very enjoyable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and for me that I struggle sometimes remembering names
Speaker 2: and remembering who's who, and when there's all the music
Speaker 2: going on top and you're trying to remember who's who
Speaker 2: and how each of them are connected and who's not
Speaker 2: saying the truth to who. I remember the first time
Speaker 2: struggling to remember what was going on and why, and
Speaker 2: feeling like it's one that you had to watch again
Speaker 2: to understand, and really not wanting to watch it again.
Speaker 2: M didn't. Yeah, it didn't really click for me so much.
Speaker 2: As I said on a second and third watch earlier today,
Speaker 2: I enjoyed it more than I remembered. I still wouldn't
Speaker 2: say I loved it by any stretch, but.
Speaker 1: So prior to today, you'd only watched it once.
Speaker 2: Ever, Yeah, I think i'd watched I think I'd tried
Speaker 2: to rewatch it and just could not be bothered. I
Speaker 2: got about halfway through and I was like, I just
Speaker 2: don't care.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think it was when you were when i'd got
Speaker 2: you watching them, and I think you got around that
Speaker 2: episode and I was like, maybe I'll give it a go.
Speaker 2: Maybe I've misremembered or like badly judged it. I was like, no,
Speaker 2: I can't be bothered.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I honestly can't remember what I thought of it
Speaker 1: that first time, even though it wasn't that I'm ay,
Speaker 1: but I didn't enjoy it this time.
Speaker 2: It's such a different style to what all the others are. Yes,
Speaker 2: I know that's kind of the point of an anthology,
Speaker 2: but equally, it doesn't really have much that keeps it
Speaker 2: in that world for me, and it's almost too big
Speaker 2: a cast. Like I like it when it's just more
Speaker 2: two or three people, and it's the more the more
Speaker 2: serious ones. I guess, yeah, obviously with the comedy, but
Speaker 2: I prefer when they're a little bit more serious and
Speaker 2: have more steaks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know what you mean. But like
Speaker 1: you said, it's it's all about a variety, isn't It
Speaker 1: didn't appeal to us. Well, I'm sure appeal to other
Speaker 1: people totally. So Yeah, the dreaded question, mm hmmm, what
Speaker 1: are you rating it out of nine? I don't want
Speaker 1: to be so cruel, just be honest.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've ever established in my head
Speaker 2: whether this is one is just that it's awful, or
Speaker 2: one there is that it's the worst episode.
Speaker 1: I see what you mean. Yes, Like I think it's
Speaker 1: more the latter. What you just said that it yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because otherwise they could all be eights and nine s. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you've got to compare them to each other somewhat.
Speaker 2: And if we put nothing lower than a three, well
Speaker 2: then three is by definition just a one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, really, and we.
Speaker 2: Just got everything out of seven instead of out of
Speaker 2: so Yeah, so unfortunately for me it's a one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 2: It's my least favorite episode of the whole run.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not surprised. Yeah, I'm on similar lines. I
Speaker 1: was deciding whether to do a one or two, because
Speaker 1: one does seem very low, and like I said, there
Speaker 1: are things about it that I thought were good, like
Speaker 1: TAM's in Althawait. It's performance was brilliant. Steve's performance really
Speaker 1: made me laugh. But then I look at if I
Speaker 1: give it a two, and then I've given Last Gasp
Speaker 1: and the Understudy of three, which is only one point
Speaker 1: above that, and they're much better than this. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry to anyone who loves it, but I
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna have to do the same as you
Speaker 1: and give it a one. Sorry, guys, Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: But on a more fun note, did you spot the
Speaker 2: hair in this one?
Speaker 1: No? And I can't even imagine where it could have been.
Speaker 2: It is a tricksy one. So it is about seventeen
Speaker 2: minutes in. It's in the photo that Steve gets out
Speaker 2: of his wallet. It's like on the bed next to
Speaker 2: him for no reason, because it has to be. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he gets the photo out and foils it.
Speaker 1: I can't even remember him getting a photo out. I
Speaker 1: think it blotted out my memory already.
Speaker 2: When you notice it, it's very obvious, okay, but yeah,
Speaker 2: if you don't happen to really be focusing on that
Speaker 2: particular two seconds of screen time.
Speaker 1: No, okay, well there we go.
Speaker 2: Is anything else that's isn't it?
Speaker 1: I've got a message to read.
Speaker 2: Oh not someone that likes this episode, is it? No,
Speaker 2: I'm just going to I don't shut all over it.
Speaker 2: And then they were like, I can't wait for you
Speaker 2: to get to him the orchestra.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. To be fair, they may like it.
Speaker 2: Sorry if we do.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. This is from Nessa, who sent this on Discord.
Speaker 1: Just wanted to say that this is honestly one of
Speaker 1: my favorite podcasts in my rotation right now. I'm currently
Speaker 1: preparing for a monster video Reviewing every episode of Inside
Speaker 1: Number nine and hearing the refreshing perspectives of what the
Speaker 1: lads thought about the stories is seriously helpful. It also
Speaker 1: really helps that the chemistry between Stephen and Yanto are
Speaker 1: so great. It really feels like I'm talking shit with
Speaker 1: some friends about a show. We all love absolutely great podcasts,
Speaker 1: and I'm so excited to see the rest of the
Speaker 1: show covered, especially Deadline.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 1: That's nice, isn't it.
Speaker 2: We're lads.
Speaker 1: I was going to say, that's the first time I've
Speaker 1: ever been described as a lad. We're lads in my life.
Speaker 1: I'm one of the lads. Oh thanks Beta, Yes, so
Speaker 1: thank you Nessa.
Speaker 2: Oh it's really sweet.
Speaker 1: That is really lovely to hear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very sweet.
Speaker 1: And we're sorry that we read your message out on
Speaker 1: what was such a debbie downer of an episode. Your
Speaker 1: message was the highlight of the episode. Yeah, yeah it was.
Speaker 2: That's really sweet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you for that. And yes, just to reminder
Speaker 1: that if anyone is into discord and all that stuff,
Speaker 1: we've got our Discord server. You can find it on
Speaker 1: our link tree in the show notes. What we watching
Speaker 1: next week?
Speaker 2: Next week we have little little dumping Ah yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: different one.
Speaker 1: Yes, from what I remember, I quite liked it, so
Speaker 1: we shall see. It's got to be a step up
Speaker 1: from today.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, definitionally, we can't go lower than we went.
Speaker 1: Today, well unless we give something zero, but I don't
Speaker 1: think that's going to happen.
Speaker 2: It was an option, and retrospectively zero that just feels
Speaker 2: too cruel for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, minus nine. I always that's a completely random tangent.
Speaker 1: But you know, on like quiz shows and stuff, when
Speaker 1: you score money as you go up and then if
Speaker 1: you go down below zero, you go into the minus
Speaker 1: and I always think, if you get to the end
Speaker 1: of the show, are they expecting you to pay them
Speaker 1: that much?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry you didn't wear now two thousand pounds
Speaker 1: please anyway? Yes, so, we'll be back next week for
Speaker 1: Little Little Dumpling. We'll see you then, but for now,
Speaker 1: I reckon it's time to turn off the backing track
Speaker 1: number nine.
Speaker 2: But the music never really stops, does it?
Speaker 1: No? Saturday Day night. Thanks for listening to the Ninth Degree.
