Not real. 

Hello this. 

Wendy. 

You know how they say those were the days. That's what we do in this podcast. We we go back to those days in. Hmm, didn't we also do you know how they say it's it's a better? It was a better time, yes. And I know for a while now I've been like, I wasn't a better time after doing all the research for this show wasn't a better time. 

I would. 

It's just a different time now. 

Hmm. 

Just you know, with everything that's going, I think it. Was a better time. 

You changed your minds. 

Exactly. It's teammate is 20. The podcasts that rewinds to this week in history 20 years ago with your host Joe and Mel. Sorry as I'm on a bit of a downer. I'm sorry about that, Mel. 

Yeah, browsering. Yeah, back in my day in. 

Yeah, in my boot. 

The good old days. 

Remember YouTube. 

Mate, thank you. 

Maybe maybe a little bit. 

Are I think you are a little bit where booming all the way back to the 27th of February to the 5th of March in 2005. 

Yeah, yeah. 

That is 1 happy man, Steve Fossett, High Fiving. 

Ohh. 

It looks pretty sprightly. He looked pretty sprightly, walking around in high fiving. 

Sir Richard Branson. 

See, it was a better time. Steve Fossett tied Fiving Richard Branson. 

He had that. 

No good, he said. 

That's the guy with the creepy balloon. 

Yeah, everything. 

Morning. I don't like him. 

Richard Branson is a guy with the creaky amount of money. 

Yeah, yeah. 

And the Oscar goes to. 

Hilary Swank, $1,000,000 baby yes. 

They. 

Hillary Swank wins the OO season. 

Awards season. Who was presenting that award with? 

It sound it sounded like. 

They asleep or drunk? 

Trent from Punch Bowl, didn't it? 

What? 

But it was it wasn't Trent from Punch Bowl. 

What? 

You sound very sleepy. 

It was Sean Penn trying to sound edgy and cool. 

Ohh Okay was he drunk? 

Possibly a little bit high, I would suggest might have had a couple of bongs out in the car park before he went. 

18 many. 

Into the Oscars. 

Ohh legendarily legibly. 

This just pull up the van, never couple of cones before we go in. 

For. 

That's what I think was happening there. Also this week. 

It's safe to say Colleen Jones has spent generations of curling defined her crap. 1. More than a few hearts. Now, the six time Canadian champion will pause and there will be a new plot for the Scot. 

If it will be a new plot for the Scot. 

In curling, how exciting is that? 

Finally, as sport segment, I'm looking forward to. Just sounds exciting, doesn't it? 

What? 

I love curling. 

I don't know. You were doing the research. 

I love curling and they've just that. Just now sold it, I do. 

Do you really love killing? 

As much as you love Naz. 

Yes, maybe more, maybe a little bit more maybe. 

Ohh doesn't turn this down with that, yeah. 

A little bit more. It's pretty fun. It's pretty fun. And did you hear that enthusiasm? That was amazing. 

I said girl, I reckon I could keep curling ago. I can't ice skate, actually. 

No, I don't think you could curl with. 

No. We'll talk more about curling a little bit later on in the show. 

All. Right. 

I'd like to go back to your booming for a moment, if you don't mind. 

The booming. 

If you have involved. 

Why you reminded me of something that I posted on the socials a couple of weeks ago now and. 

That's that's. 

It was a it was. 

Ohh really? 

It was a thing on the I'm gonna call it Twitter because I haven't upgraded my app cause I refused to go to have refused to call it X, so I won't. 

3. 

I won't update my app, it's still the bird. 

I feel like I feel like giving the owner, giving the owner of it now. 

I've still got. 

Them. 

Bird. Bird. 

They should change the name to Twitter to deny. 

He could probably do something weird. Updates automatically on my phone I'm sure, so hopefully it's not listening to this cause I would. 

Possibly careful that he's everything. 

I'd like to keep the bird, the further bird. 

Further bird. 

Strange person. 

Anyway, on the on the Twitter. 

Yes. 

It's on the Twitter. 

Erica posted a poignant question that I really enjoyed, and it was. I don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. What's your most millennial complaints? 

Thank you. 

I like it. Millennial complaint. 

Your millennial complaints. 

Instead of three, nine. 

Because coming down on the boomers. 

What? 

Booms. 

Boomers are always complaining about you. Back in my day and walking through the snow and you know, the mixed bag of lollies for two cents. 

Ohh you know this and you thing as well. I found out the other day that the weekday edition of The Canberra Times isn't going to be printed anymore. 

You. 

Wow. 

Let's get a really piece of off, isn't it? 

Wow. 

Wow. 

Yeah, yeah. 

Ohh, they would be upset. But we don't care about the boom. Boom, boomers. 

It's hmm. 

We wanna hear the millennial complaints and ohh my goodness. 

Yeah, sure. 

So we posted it and we we had a few responses come through. But there are also a lot of responses on the. On the Twitter as well. Would you like to hear something? 

Adult. 

I would love to hear sign. 

Can we can we boom boom for a minute? 

Skip anytime you like, yes. 

You. 

Ashley Jones. Not everything needs an app and I don't wanna use. An app for everything. 

YouTube iPhone. 

True, that is true. 

It is true. 

That Ashley agree it gives. 

The yeah, it's. 

I can't even go to a restaurant without having an app. Yes, especially I just want the food, food. 

Dumb sign dumb. 

I don't wanna eat. I want dinner not an app, but I've gotta download an app in order to eat. 

So dumb. 

Yeah. 

I wanna recipe. I don't need an app for this. Recipe from make something. 

It's my conduit to sustenance. That's ridiculous. 

Stupid. 

Hmm. 

Trish loves animal. 

It's people. Give. 

Sorry, it was stupid. I've missed time my booming, but that I think that's pretty in in step with the boomers anyway. 

It's a pre emptive pre-emptive babe. 

Have you seen him dance at weddings? 

WTF does everything have to be smug? But I don't need my fridge or telly to be smart. I wasn't helpless or unhappy when my appliances were stupid. In fact, I was very content. 

Ohh, hang on. 

Give. 

What booming? But this is millennials. 

Trish. Well, I think I. Think we can we can use the. Boom song for millennials. 

I feel like these millennials sound like boomers, and it's it's at easy and he's saying boom boom alright, I like what we're going. 

So when is a millennial? Yes. Sell one song. So I think we can. 

I don't need everything to be smart, either that that frustrates me a lot. Everything's. 

Hmm. 

Even I do like my car being smart cause I'm a bit stupid on. 

No, now I prefer winding the windows down with with the the the handles. 

The road asked. I don't. I don't need a smart fridge. When I was bored as a teenager, I used to go and look in the fridge. Now if the the fridge is smart, it's gonna tell me everything that's in it, and I won't need to look in it anymore. And then what am I going to do with my time? 

You. That's dumb. It's not smart. That's dumb, Kyle. 

Probably go on to the Facebook or the yes. 

Texting was better when you had to pay. By the text. People kept it short and sweet. 

YouTube Big Boom the we. 

That is so true. Were that is so true. 

Text messages cost money, and it was. 

And well, we. 

And you and you were limited where you was like the Twitter. I think you could only do so many characters back in the day and I feel like it was $0.26 for some reason or 40. 

Yeah. 

Cents. It would be 26 or 40. 

Yeah, it was a weird number weed number for at first it was. 

Was something weird and I love that. 

It wasn't protest, though. Was there a word limit? There wasn't word. 

I love that because you know, some days when you you have the back and forth conversation and you go. I've got nowhere to go from here, and you might heart it or something like that. 

Yeah. 

Back in the day, you just go. 

Didn't need to. 

I'll run out of money ran out of credit and text you back ran out of credit. 

Yeah. 

Sorry, I'm broke. 

Then out of credit, you're lucky I tasted you there. 

I agree. 

Boom. 

Dumb, pappagallo says. 

Don pappagallo. 

Everybody's ringtone should still be a 32nd cut of their favourite song in terrible quality. 

Ohh thank you. Funny bone. 

Yes, please. 

Absolutely, absolutely. 

Yes, please. 

That was expensive to acquire as well. 

Josh Owens, I'm with Josh on this one. Actually I think this is probably my the most. Relatable one for. 

It's. 

Headlights are getting too bright. 

Give don't. Andy. 

Oh oh. 

So true, so true. 

Ohh my God. 

What are they? What are they making them out of these days? 

Absolutely. 

It just it hurts. It hurts my eyes and I think they're high, beaming me and it's just the regular heart. 

I feel like a. 

It's just the regular light. They're not even high beaming. 

Driving home on dusk and it feels like a scene out of ******* close encounters of the third kind. 

Thanks. 

You think you're about to be abducted by aliens? Human. 

Make you believe. 

Oh, oh, oh man. 

There's way more booms. 

That's struck a nerve. 

We might throw a few booms in throughout the show, I think because it's just it is so true. 

Ohh that's your. They could be a regular segment there. 

It is so true farming. 

There's so many. Things that I relate to and I feel like I'm the older I get. The more in common I do have with. The boomers, it's. 

Yeah. 

As if they might have known something or have learned something in their time that I probably couldn't have fully acquired in my time until I got to their time as well. 

I think so, I think so. Until now, you've reached that. 

And now we are on the level. 

Really. 

Ohh give me evil. 

But that's not what we're doing now. We're doing. 

No. 

The Hatch match. 

OK, right. So. 

Dispatch quick, I'm sorry. It's what have we got for this one? What is it? Is it a birthday? Is it a what it is a birthday? 

Ohh. A birthday. 

Ohh nice. 

Someone very dear to tea. 

I like a birthday. 

-20, actually. 

Yeah, he said. This we. 

Yeah. 

All got our own type of slang. It's like it's like talking your own language. 

Where it out? 

Man. 

Yeah. What up? Hmm. As the the boom is. 

To your mother. Ohh, the same word to your mother. 

Ohh that's. 

Just. 

That's ridiculous. We'll find out who that person is and hopefully get a little bit more cred for knowing who that is at the end of the show. We say it to a different time or a better time, but the news still was bad. The news is always bad. 

Hmm. 

It is. 

A. 

It's it's particularly bad quality these days. The news though, if you notice that where they they do like 2 lead stories and then they just play a whole bunch of that they've found on social media. 

Hmm. 

Yeah. Things that people upload that is lazy. That's lazy journalism. 

And he's really lazy journalists. Like what? 

The Ohh did you. 

OK, happened to the news and okay. 

Cheeky boom. 

Let's say I'm just on the theme right now. 

Ohh yes. 

I do need to get serious though, because. This is this is a terrible story. 

Yeah. 

This happened on the 28th of FEV, and it's the deadliest single bomb blast in Iraq's history. Iraq has just had elections. Things that everyone celebrating. Great success in Iraq, and it's still still pretty tenuous over there. 

Hmm. 

I wouldn't say that anything is by any means solved, and this proves it. I think a suicide bomb outside a medical centre in Hilaa kills 127 people, 127 people. 

Plus hmm. 

You know Mum's dad's nurses, doctors. A crowd of teaches police recruits. It's awful. It's awful. It was men who were actually queuing the the the target, the primary target, the motivation of the suicide bombing was the fact that there were a bunch of men who were at a recruitment centre to join the Iraqi police forces. 

Hmm. 

And the last thing that they the suicide bomber obviously wanted was more police in Iraq okay it. It was one of the deadliest attacks since the 2003 invasion. 

The Secretary General of the United Nations condemned the bombing, labelling it a horrendous act and a blatant violation of international humanitarian law. He emphasised that such acts of senseless violence aimed to undermine the prospects of a peaceful and democratic Iraq. It not only caused a significant loss of life, but it also highlighted some of the really big security challenges. 

Yeah, it's a big, big reality. 

That Sarah was facing during that time. 

Check. I think you know as much as there's all these good news stories coming out of Iraq about the success of things. This is the reality of it right here. Yep. 

Yeah, the day to day reality at and and particularly around recruiting and training security forces. The attacks came a day after Iraqi officials announced that Syria had captured and handed over Saddam Hussein's half brother, who was number 36 on the the the Most wanted list. 

Are. Most. To yeah, yeah. 

And also believed to be. A leader of the country's Sunni based insurgency. 

Yeah, not a good time. You know, I did try to find some audio and when I typed this in, there's just I there was so many bombs. Of this nature that I couldn't place the exact one to the date and I didn't. And then I I just, it was. Just. 

And the details are pretty Harrison. 

I just really didn't wanna. 

When you're looking at 100 and. 27 people killed, you know. 

Exactly. So I didn't really want to. And so let's move on to something different now. Change of pace, as they say, are this guy, this guy that has cost the Australian taxpayers a fair bit of money. 

Yes. 

He's cost the Australian tax. Pious are ridiculous amount of money. 

Yeah. 

When he crashed his bloody balloon, and where was it? I don't know. 

Ohh, somewhere in the desert in the middle of Australia. 

Somewhere in the. Yes, exactly. 

Can't believe. 

Yeah. So I'm talking about Bloody Steve Fossett, the adventurer. 

The venture guys, yes. 

So called adventurer. 

Yes, he swapped his balloon for a plane. 

Yeah. So yes, yes he did. He's adventuring in planes now, which just, I mean, that's just. I mean, that's ridiculous, really, isn't it? A bean who would think that you could have any kind of adventure in a plane with the amount of leg room they give you these days. 

Ohh you're. 

3rd of March he flies his plane around the world's. Hello. No stops, no refuelling. The flight, lasting for 67 hours and one minute covering approximately 36,898 kilometres. Well, that's probably not approximately. I'd say that's exactly. Ohh 22,936 miles. 

Delete. Come on. 

That is a long way with no stops and no refuelling. 

I was gonna say, could you imagine being on a how? 

Long. Was it? 

Six days and seven hours, a 67 hour flight. 

You'd have to have some jokes. Remember jolt cola? 

D. 

Ohh, what was the other thing you used to take at? 

Yes, you'd wanna have you compression socks on as well. 

School. 

Jolt cola. 

So Jolt there was like the double the caffeine. 

Ohh yeah days. 

Ohh no dose no dose tablets you take when you were like state. 

Took that at school. 

Well, no. In university, when I'd stay up all night doing my assignment the night before it was. 

Due that's what's wrong with the kids these days. They're all pepped up on their bloody joke colour and then no DOS. 

Ohh the give the people. 

As was Dave full. 

Said I would think. Not well. 

At the 67 hour flight like I'm, I mean, if I'm a passenger on a 67 hour flight like I am drinking. 

67 hours. 

Yeah. 

Or. 

Ohh. Drinking until I pass out and then I'm waking up. 

I don't think Steve is drinking. He was flying a Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer, which is a lightweight carbon fibre aircraft designed for ultra long distance flights. 

Somewhere else. Yes. No kidding. Yes. 

Was built by the same company behind Spaceship 1 and sponsored by Richard Branson. 

Hmm. 

Was that now? 

That was the virgin spaceship. 

Virgin Atlantic took off in Kansas on the 28th of Fab flew eastward around the globe, passing over the Atlantic Ocean, Africa, Asia, the Pacific, back to the US, landing in Kansas once again on the 3rd of March, and we mentioned no refuelling. 

The the there. OK, cool. 

Hmm. 

Hmm. 

Yes. 

It was designed to carry enough fuel for the entire journey, so they didn't have to refuel. 

Yeah. 

Remarkable feats of engineering the actual plane itself. As far as like, it's quite light like a glider, but it had an engine on it and it was able to carry a lot of fuel. So Steve didn't, I'd say, you know, the baggage allowance. 

Hmm. 

Yeah, you always get, like, ****** over with baggage allowance. 

No, you just, you just don't weigh your bags first. 

What the hell? 

Life it can fit a FOK. 

That's your, that's. 

What's the difference? See this is this is the thing. That's OK. 

Ohh hearing guy. 

Alright. 

Anyway, Alan, you don't know. 

Ohh thank you people. 

Hmm. 

Talk about baggage allowance on. Light and yes, like my bag can fit into the thing. It's quite compact, but I can fit a lot of stuff in it and it can vary in weight, but it's still the same size. 

Hmm. 

Yeah. 

Yes. 

What is the difference between having a heavy bag and a heavy person? 

Ohh think careful, be careful. 

Do you know what I'm saying? If if the weight of my baggage is so critical to how much fuel you put in the plane and how you fly and all that sort of stuff, how much you charge which? Is for your tickets, which don't get me started on that one as well. 

Give me. Soon. 

Like how is it doesn't. What's the difference? 

So do you think then maybe maybe a better option is total weight? So the weight of you and the weight of your bag has a limit. 

Ohh, you can't, that's so bad. 

So then. 

What's what? 

You're practically saying by saying. What's the difference between a little bit of a heavier bag and? A little bit of a heavier person. 

What I'm saying is what I'm saying is amongst the airlines that we should just have a nod and a wink and we should understand. 

I think that's what you're saying. 

That certain things have different weights, including people, and you should transcend that and factor it into the price of your ticket. 

Well, I guess they don't know what the weight of the people are. So how can they? 

That's exactly what I'm saying. 

Yeah. How can they say right okay? I thought you. 

Got it. 

I thought you were being rude. So how then can they say that your bag's gonna be too heavy for the aircraft not knowing the weight of all the passengers? 

At that point, wow. 

That's right. 

Exactly. 

It's both. That's what it is anyway, Steve. 

Okay. 

Closet if that was true. 

Fossett. 

If that was true, Steve Fossett would have. 

A minor carry on. 

No, you. 

Carry on. Probably no. 

Would have had to do was number twos before he left. 

Well, yes, because he'd be heavier. 

I didn't drop a bit. More wax? 

Exactly, just to drop some weight. 

Yep, Yep, definitely. 

Maybe you have to cut weight. I don't know. See Steve Fossett when you look at him, though, doesn't look like a bloke. That's, you know, I mean, he's an adventurer, but he's not an athlete, you know. 

He's so he's like he's probably. 

Yes. 

Same as me. Same so as me potentially. 

Fittingly. 

He had a few dramas. 

Yeah. 

And they weren't weight related, right? 

No, not connected to his carrier. 

As they feel that a major fuel leak. 

Good, right? 

Which caused concern that. 

Didn't have to take his belt off at the metal detector. And then really? 

Ohh, and he's shoes. 

Yeah, that's a pain now, isn't it? I'm gonna mate is really clever actually. Shout out to Andy, the cameraman. 

What is he doing? 

Has. He has a belt with a plastic buckle. 

That is very famous, very funny. 

Saying this brazen through the metal detectors every time not having to pull his pants up. 

That's a good point. But what about shoes? Is there a way to avoid having to take your shoes? 

He has a pair of plastic clogs. They 3D printed them. 

Crocs. 

Yeah, exactly. 

Does he really? 

No, he does not. 

Does. 

Ohh OK, I thought he might just. 

But that's a good idea. Proxy across it. 

Where it wouldn't surprise me. 

Sorry. 

We're, I mean, we're going, but I feel like we've introduced, yes, this is very handy. 

Surprise me. 

We're we're being like these people. We're sharing some good ideas as well as booming. 

Hints that we've worked shopped here, but Steve Fossett would never have to worry about only 67 hour flight. 

We're also healthy. 

Yeah, well, he was worried because there was a. Fuel. Leak, but that was he. 

Yeah, well, that's despite the plane lighter mate, are you be like ohh. 

He got over that. 

There was. 

Well, shedding fuel. Now I could have, you know, in place of that fuel you some carry on. 

You could have held on. To that, #2 didn't go. 

I don't think it works like that, but anyway. 

No, he encountered severe turbulence over the Pacific Ocean, and I assume it would be much worse because it was such a lightweight aircraft is dangerous storms. 

Ohh yeah, he gone up and down all over the place. 

When you managed to avoid. Those. 

Hmm. 

I only took Catnaps during the flight. I don't know what a catnap equates to in terms of time that be would what's how long does. A cat nap for. Is that 10 minutes 20 minutes? 

Ohh I don't know I guess. 

Is it live? 

20 minute power nap. I don't know. I cats are quite sleepy. I feel like a cat would would sleep for. 

Slightly dry. 

Yeah. 

Yes. So that's dangerous. 

Yeah. 

When he comes out at night time and kills a whole bunch of native animals. 

Dangerous. 

Dangerous kept him. 

Yeah. 

Look, I don't know. 

I I I guess. 

Hey. 

They should be. They should be wardens. 

He knows what direction he's going. He's got a navigate. Maybe it's like, you know, when I, when I cook a brisket and I go to sleep and I've got the little temperature thing and it fired up and alarm if the temperature drops. 

Ohh vapes online. 

Maybe that happens in the plane when it dropped, like moves off course or something like that. 

I mean, I don't know. 

But yes, but I mean, he's flying the plane. Can't really. 

He also had to endure long hours of sitting. That doesn't sound terrible, but sounds great. 

Sounds like it's it's pretty standard on a flight. 

Dehydration and exhaustion. 

Do you? 

Yes. 

Yes, well dehydrated because there's no hostesses coming down the aisle saying, would you like, you know to? 

But if you're the one flying the plane, you. Don't want those stupid? Cup. So you've got a peel. The thing off and cut your lid. 

Ohh yes, could you imagine you know? Well, potentially peel enough like water in it. 

It's. 

And I thought, who thought of that for water? Honestly. 

Basically a bowl that fits in the palm of. 

Honestly, it Jelly cop is the Jelly cop where you peel the thing off the top and it doesn't all come off in one piece. 

Your hand, right? 

Yes. 

Now, if he had one of those and he tried to peel it off and he could potentially splash all the instruments, you know exactly. 

All the. 

It's very dangerous. Very dangerous. Anyway, say and in broadcast he's landing live, and if you listen really carefully, I think the most fun part about this. He's he's not so much what Branson or faucet are saying. It's more the the journos and the camera people in the background, like trying to really discreetly argue amongst themselves as they're blocking. Each other's shots. 

That is 1 happy man, Steve Fossett, High Fiving. 

Well, it looks pretty sprightly. 

He looks pretty sprightly. 

Sir Richard Branson. 

What? 

Going around in high fiving. 

He made it 3 days non stop. 

Look. 

Like I think. He's he's ready for a bed pretty soon. 

Ohh. 

See if we can listen. 

Click under under the steel. 

In. 

One round, one round the clause buffet. 

Stay down. 

Stay down. 

Sir, please can you move away? 

Support one of the cloud story. 

The first message in the world to go round in. 

No, no. Second, very good. 

This translator. 

Once they went to the passport. 

Facebook. 

Ohh how you blocking the whole? Well, that was something I wanted to do for a long time. 

**** you. Ohh. 

So major ambition and I've had to get portion. The. Of. Laugh. Getting the right people to associate it with. Ignore. 1st with Scaled Composites build and test it, but by John Karkow I and then pick your grandson drive Virgin in to make this a much better project and then the team here not only the airport authority at Kansas State University. Down. 

Now morning, morning. 

Ohh. 

Seven of the number. I'm sorry, 11. 

It's not to say. 

This just play the music and play him off. It's not the most exciting thing. I mean, he's just flowed 67 hours. 

And that's it was annoying. 

He's like, I just like. But did you hear them? Like you're in the way. 

Yeah, the way. 

I cannot believe. See this this flight actually I guess confirmed to everyone or cemented or whatever you wanna call it. 

Hmm. 

Validated Steve Fossett as being one of the greatest modern adventurers and. I just I I mean when I think of greatest adventurer like I think of like Indiana Jones 15 order mean not staying focussed. 

It's not Steve, and he's creepy villain. 

Good crashing a balloon that looks like a goon bag out in the middle of the desert in Australia and costing taxpayers a whole bunch of money to. Queuing. 

Hey, he went on to attempt more records. He didn't give up after that run second global flight in 2006, and we did talk about this last time. 

Small taxpayers money wasted. 

In 2007, he disappeared when he was flying his plane over Nevada, and then they found his remains 2008. 

Ohh yeah. Ohh great. 

After an extensive. Search has stopped being mean. That's really dead yard. 

I forgot about that. Yeah. Now basically ****** on his grave. Ohh, I didn't mean to do that. He is Steve Fossett, one of the world's greatest modern adventurers and and a hero to boom, is everywhere. 

Preventable. Boom. 

You can't believe. 

It's sport time. 

Hmm. 

I you gotta help me out here. I don't know what's going on with support this week. 

Ohh, exciting sports home the 27th of February 2005. The final of the curling championships. This is the. Scott, Tournament of Heart, which is Canada's premier women's curling championships. 

Yeah. 

Fries. 

Uh went from the 19th of FEV, and now we're at the final on the 27th at the One Mile Stadium in St. John's. 

Now if this one, if there's one thing that you. You love more than NASCAR as far as sports go, it's curling. 

Sterling it is. I do like sterling. 

I don't get it. 

I do like kerling. 

I don't get it. I I want to like curling explain to me how curling works. 

Well, I think it's kind of like bowls. So you have a target and you. Yeah. You move things towards the target and you've gotta get close to the target. It's also like shuffleboard. Have you ever played shuffleboard? 

But now I have. 

Playlist shuffle it. We've got it. I think it's a Dutch thing actually. 

As as I move into my boomer phase, I have been thinking about going cruising a lot more. 

My grandfather bill to shuffleboard table. You might take it out. Take it taking up shuffleboard. 

So and they do play a lot of shuffleboard on on those long days out at sea where there's nothing to do. 

Do yes. I have flick out a little count like you got a counter and then you click other ones at it. 

Hmm. 

Hmm. 

You've got to try and hit it. 

Similar principles that on on ice, right? 

Same kind of thing on ice and you're sliding heavy granite stones towards this tab. 

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. 

Yes. And then you furiously sweeping the ice next to the stones to try. And I think it's. 

Really. 

Is it? 

Is that what you were doing then? You religiously sweeping. 

Let's sweep and sweeping. What's? 

Tickets. 

Ohh with both hands this time wonderful. 

Fishing. 

You're. 

I'm I'm not sure how this suite that like the sweeping obviously helps. Move granite to this. 

The like sleeves that smooth the ice out so that the granite can slide on a better trajectory. 

I just don't understand exactly how it does it, but it looks it looks really funny, doesn't it? And. 

Yeah, it's enjoyable. It's. 

They were enjoyable. 

You've got teams. I think you've got two teams of four players. 

Yeah. 

And your stones have to go closer. 

To the whatever the like, whatever the Jack like the Jack. 

Should seen. That. Yes, add to the new opponents and I think you get 8 stones per round. 

In, in Mullen bowls or. 

Hmm. 

Um, yeah. And then you sweep the ice. I think it, yeah, I think it reduces the friction. So the stone. Travel further and and straightened. 

Faster or slower of and cause that's the thing that's so much more physics in it is the the trajectory that you're travelling on the skates is connected to the point at which you dropped the stone onto the ice to then continue on the trajectory towards thing Gavin and Sweety, which is. 

Yeah. 

So you know, there's bowling and lawn bowls and sweeping involved and ice skating. 

It's the truth. 

A. It's a combination of many. 

It's very it's very popular in Canada and it's and from the broadcast and feast your eyes on this, it's very exciting. 

Sports said multiple sports. 

Yes. 

So the ice, they like ice. There. 

It's safe to say Colleen. Want to span generations of curling defined her crap one more than a few hearts. Now, the six time Canadian champion will pause and there will be a new plot for the Scot. And so enter Jennifer Jones. Jen Hannah takes the stage. Young blood. Young Hearts 2. Fiercely competitive to reflect too long on history for the hungry skips from Manitoba and Ontario, the moment is now the time. 

Ohh. 

Never better, never more perfect. We're on the rock on this day of title is on the line and a shot at the Olympic dream too. But First things first, they have a chance to assume the starring. Ohh and must not be afraid to play the part of Queen of Hearts. 

Yeah. The pot of can then. Listen to that ******* ripping guitar solo. 

That sounds like the. The end credits of John Candy movie, doesn't it? 

Or some kind of. 

Doesn't it like the summer rental when the boat went across and won? 

Yeah. 

So some kind of drama series from the 80s said in some hip neighbourhood. 

Feels very John pandy. Yeah. Isn't that, say, calling's goods? 

Yeah, I am. 

Are you excited? I'm excited. That's exciting. 

I'm moist. I'm very excited. 

The to only men of hearts. 

What happened? 

Tell me what happened. 

So we got to the final and we have Team Manitoba skipped by Jennifer Jones. 

Hmm. 

Will she become Queen of Hearts? Yeah. 

So the person in the lead of the skipper. Yes, against Team Ontario, led by Jen Hannah, as you heard from the excited voice over. 

Yeah. 

And it's very dramatic. So trailing in the final end. Jennifer Jones faces a challenging shot to secure victory. She executes a precise in off its course, knocking out Ontario's stone. 

And he knows. 

So you can also knock the other people's. 

Ohh so you go in and they go off. 

Stones out of the way. Like bowls? Yeah, hit it out of the way. 

Do you go in and they go off mate? 

Yeah, racket off our scores 4 point pinching the championship with an 8/6. 

Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

Uh huh. 

Yeah. Wow. 

Win this move, often referred to as the shot, is celebrated as one of the greatest in curling history we made. 

This particular one. 

We made curling history on the 27th of February 2005. 

Yes, she said. I knew I had to make it. There was number other option. It was a moment I'll never forget. And now you won't either as you bear witness to. 

The shot the shot. 

Show. 

The most difficult attempt trying to come in off a. 

Yeah. 

Ohh. 

I'm on the outside trying to get the role to the stone at the button. 

Ohh. 

They're working on it frantically. There's the contact. There's the role she made them. 

Ohh. The. 

What a shot. For the win. 

Ohh that is the best shot I've ever seen to win a game. 

The. 

Unbelievable. 

Forgot to mention you also scream at the granite stones. You don't just scream at them and scare them, scare them over to the thing, yes. 

Yes, the 9th of makes it go faster. That's it. Stones going you? 

Ohh God nonsense. 

And. 

Again, well, the hell is he saw artment the excitement. 

Who? 

That was 7th love, wasn't it? 

Say I told you some thrilling. 

And so that was the winning shot, yes. 

This. 

So who was that? 

Jennifer Jones, team Manitoba so the runner up was Tame Ontario youth Jen. Yes. 

Was that chain? Day win. Yeah, which means they lost. 

Has she went on to represent Canada at the 2005 World Women's Curling Championships in Paisley, Scotland? So we'll have. To. Tune into that bit later. 

Really. 

On 2005. 

Ohh curling updates. 

Yes. And they continue to showcase their exceptional skill on the international stage. I don't know if it was quite as thrilling as the shot, but you know it's curling. So it could. 

That was very exciting. 

Then that was what's. 

That was very exciting. I I feel. 

The food like to be a commentator for curling. 

Do you? Yeah. 

I think I would. 

It's never too late. 

Do you think follow your dreams? 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

Something like that maybe? 

Yeah. What do they say?

Ohh you waiting for me. 

Yeah. 

Sorry. 

I feel well. 

That was.

I'm you know, I'm a bit of a bloodied at this part of the show. 

Okay sure. 

I kind of just get in the way. Yeah, a lot. I feel like I've gotten in. The way a little bit this. Wait, keep putting the boom gates down. 

Yes, yes, a lot of booming happening. 

Hmm. 

Hmm. 

That's alright. It's good to get these things out in. 

Yeah. 

The open, thanks. 

That's well, that's what podcast thing is all about, Phil. Yeah. 

So we can. 

Maybe so we can move on, move on. Australian at #1 still the same over and over nearly feet, Tim McGraw. 

I think about. 

Over Andover again. 

Dark Nikki. 

Hurts so bad. 

I. 

Because it's all in my heart I think about. 

Over and over. 

Hey Harry, there are bumping into each other. 

Going to say no. The album was the new album was released by Jennifer Lopez just last week, and this week the single of the new album Get Right is number one in the UK. 

Ohh yeah. 

So much so go and give ride with me. 

Anyone can give? So can you haha. 

We can get. 

Ohh yeah, I don't think we've really got anything else we need to say about Jennifer Lopez. 

I think we discussed everything for. This to be said about that last week. So let's go. 

You gotta be careful about how much Jlo you including stuff. You mean there might be something like at the time of recording? Like nothing really going on. 

Ohh yeah. 

Leave a bit of smoke. No fire at the moment, but you just you never know. 

Hmm. 

So I think that the less we say about. 

Probably yes. And then she won't sue us either. 

Yes. 

So let's go over to the top five. In the US, shall we? 

5. 

Let me see you one two step. 

Ohh. 

Stop, get. 

Everything. 

Ohh. 

I want I boys. No. 

It's how we do. We make a movement that before while we up in the club, this, this, we feel nobody going like this. So. So what's love? This is how we. Do make a movement at the pool. While we have to the club. This is we feel nobody would like between you. 

Should let me love you. Let me be the ones you give you everything you want any. A pretty good. Love it. 

2. 

Nice. Haha. 

All wonder what's beside me myself. 

Colour only. 

It's.

So sad. 

Shy away. 

Someone out there will find. 

Wow, that's show. The. 

I listen. 

Go ahead girl. 

Don't stop. 

Keep going to you. 

Just stop. 

Ohh a ticket. 

Candy shop. 

Whoa, there's a bit of churn in the charts. 

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. 

There's a bit of churn in the charts. 

All the same songs, but we've had some movements and shuffling around now. Number 512 step Sierra. 

John, some churn in the charts. 

Yes, she's on the way out by the looks of features about to say. 

She needs. 

Well, that's good, because Siri. Please yes, but see. 

I I don't mind the song, right? 

I don't mind the song. I know where you go, but I don't mind the song. The problem is, since we've got onto YouTube, the bots pick up one, two step every week and throw a copyright claim at me, and then I have to do my little thing and put my my legal hat on, because thanks to artificial intelligence, I'm now a lawyer and I have to address that. 

Ohh. 

Ohh, so she seriously sensitive as far as copyright rules go. 

That was gonna go. 

So it's difficult. 

We're gonna get sued, aren't we? 

So as much as I like this song, no. 

I do like that song. 

We'll just delete the account. 

I was using the AB Crunch machine to that song today. 

We'll go. 

Were you to 1-2 step, let me see you 1-2, yeah. 

Yeah, you know that one where? You've got a ohh. 

The. 

Handles always worried that I'm gonna drop my guts in that machine. 

On the account. Machines. 

The high risk manoeuvre that one, isn't it? That's because it's a lot of pressure, a lot. Of pressure light in that area. 

You are. You're crunching and then and then you punching. 

Yeah, I know it's really hard to kind of pull it into the right angle anyway. 

Hmm. 

1-2 step helped me through it. 

Good, excellent. 

Thank you, Sierra. How we do the game seat $0.50. Number four, let me love you, Mario. 

Everyone knows how you do now after that description, so Ohh Mario. Yes, he's on the way out as well, isn't he? 

Ruling out of Bergen drinks #2. 

That's pretty big for Green Day. Getting up to #2. 

There and 50 centimetres magic stick slash lollipop are in at #1 this week.

Yes, this is actually his third number one hit. 

Fitty. 

He was big, fall out the big doing well, doing very well. 

Ohh. 

Time he's getting. I'll tell you what I hope he's using protection and we actually will be on fire with all the sexual stuff in this song. 

Continuing to do very well. 

It's just, you know, it's a bit much. 

And he's releasing in the same way he's second album, the Massacre on the 3rd of March, featuring production from notable producers such as Doctor Dre, M&M, Scott Store. 

The mascots story. Share that bloke. 

Where's he from? 

Yeah. Uh, I Fat Joe something.

Hello. 

The things we do, I'll just leave me with. 

Um. 

Yeah. 

M and M's on. There. 

He's on there. Is there is? 

Jamie not. 

There is a point in in in Candy shop where and there's just this one line that $0.50 says that it kind of gives me goosebumps, but not. 

In a good way. 

The. 

Not even good way. 

They like bad goosebumps like ohh, somebody just walked on my grey and he's he says the word in and I can't do it in $0.50 voice. 

Ohh okay I was getting worried. For a second there. 

Today, susceptive. 

And you just kiss. So seductive, and that that is that what they call it these days? 

They gave you the is that I think that's called. The ink. I think that's the ick. 

Yeah, got a little bit of ink. 

You. The. Ick. 

From that right. 

From city. 

Yeah, but just clenched up real tight and the hair stood up on my arms. 

My ****. 

Wait is disappointed. That that fitty gave you the ink. Wow. 

What? 

Ohh so severely there. 

The album The Masticate debut. It's at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Sells 1.15 million copies in the first four days. Not even the first week, first four days. 

Wow, $0.50 was he ruled the world back then, didn't he? 

Stays on top for six consecutive weeks. 

There's a reason there's a reason why. 

Certified 6 times platinum. 

Yeah, there's a reason why he's one of our patron. 

Saint's reason why is our life coach. 

Like this? 

Yeah, you. God like status. 

He knows things exactly, knows a lot of things that we don't know. 

Hmm. Yep. 

Yeah. Yes, over 6,000,000 units shipped in the states. I looked at the album cover today because I. I actually don't think I have these album. 

Really. 

I've got the the OG. The first one I'm pretty sure I don't. 

Yeah, that's right out. 

Get Richard I try. I don't think I have this one and it it's probably because because we're no longer. 

It's me. 

At the radio station of not getting CD's and. 

Ohh, we couldn't get free stuff that's right. 

Anymore cause? I've never seen the cover and the cover is a picture of him just, you know, no shirt you like. Hello ladies. 

I alright? Yeah. 

And it's $0.50 but but it's got it's. Got sort of. Illustration over the top, like someone's drawn over the. Stop and they kind of drawn in to highlight his muscles and it looks like, remember, we were driving the other day on Hindmarsh Drive and you like, just went crazy going ohh. My God, there's this car up ahead and they've made it look like a comic strip and we're in one of those zones where they are measure between the two cameras. 

Ohh. 

Ohh. 

You speed the average speed camera and you're wanting to speed up to show me this car and you're banging on about it. 

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wanted to have. A look look at this car. 

And I'm like, you can't go fast because we're in the we're in this thing, and I'm not gonna get a fine. Just so you can show me this car and we finally got to the car and. Dumb. 

Yeah, looked terrible up first. 

He talked about the so much, but that's what they've done for $0.50 on. 

Ohh. 

The cover of. The massacre. 

Ohh. 

Getting old. 

I might need my eyes tested it, maybe cataract. 

Give. 

Ohh I'm sorry, but they did. 

So, and that's what they did it on. 

You hear? The cover of that. 

Yes, but much better than that car. What even was the car? It was like some car that hot. 

I was like a old Honda. Like, yeah, it's not like on the civic like, but not like ohh my. 

Was it a? Civic was it was gonna say I hold a Nova. It was. An. Old car. 

I was an old Honda City, but yeah, but it wasn't like a Honda Civic like you would know from the faster than. 

But it and the painted gone maps. I like cause it was just old. Ohh no. Was Honda's. Yeah, you're right. It was Honda Civic from 2000 to like 98 probably 98 Honda Civic. 

Ohh like 90s. Yeah. Hmm. 

I yeah, that's right. It was. But anyway, $0.50 looked much better. Didn't cover himself. 

Then on the civic, that's good. 

So the massacre feet should discount furno without ample buttocks. 

Ohh that's thing yeah. 

Video clip obviously can't. Shut up just a little bit. Which was another hit single and out of control. I don't remember that one. I have to go and. 

Well, that's because you didn't get the album for free for the right. 

Have a. Licence letting it down free. 

He asked if she causes because they fired us. 

I'm not and I'm not paying for that. I'm not buying that. This is. Could have kept my subscription to the very CD, yeah. 

Apparently, but I only fight is because you were going to TV anyway, cause you're better than them. And and I was a bad influence on you. 

Just. 

Apparently so I got fired too, so that's why we got no more free seaters. And that's ******. 

It's a shame, it's. 

Now it is a shame. But you know, I'm pretty glad I missed. But on this one. Which is. Well, it's a tour. 

Wow. 

It's not a tour. 

Wow. 

It's not a, it's. It's not a CD, it's a tour. 

But no free tickets. No. 

Nice race he gets now. 

For tickets to the tour concerts. 

I'll probably ohh look, I would have gone to it if I had free tickets to it. Ohh, are you went to everything for free when I when I was at the radio station because that was the only fringe benefit of lack of sleep and ****** all money which whatever the people be like. 

Would. Did you? 

Yes. 

Yes. 

Ohh, supposed to just sit around and talk all day. Yeah. And other stuff other than that. 

Did all the things you have to do lots of things. You have to think of people to talk to, and then you had to go and talk to them. 

Yeah, yeah. 

And then you had to go and talk to all the people that bought ads. 

Yes, but you also had to promote. It's like Westlife. 

Waited on the hot 30 because they had the flying without wings. Song. I think they did have a concert at the time and I remember we gave away stuff for it and we had to make people do something stupid to win it anyway. 

This is like fly without wings. Hey, get up onto the roof and jump off your house, OK? 

Skull into the Birdman. Lilly. No, we didn't make them do. 

That. 

That this was a different to her. This is the number. The number ones tour the number ones performing across multiple countries, promoting their rat pack inspired album allow us. 

Ohh the **** to her as opposed to OK phone. Yeah. 

To be frank. 

Ohh this is today. Ohh, Frank Sinatra style. So because the only thing that I remember Westlife from is the Billy Joel cover. 

Ohh. 

With high black sheep looking for the downtown Dan. 

That's why I am. 

And so that's. 

That's like one of those songs where it's like, well, it's a cover and it's not a different interpretation of the original. It's the same arrangement. It's the same melody. It's the same pace you could probably like lay the two things over the top of each other in a recording studio, and they'd be pretty much identical, except that the the, the, the Westlife version is inferior to the original. 

Hmm, So what is the point point? 

What's? 

The. 

Hmm, I guess I just need to bring something else. You can't go too long or then people think you're on the indefinite hiatus. 

Ohh would you believe? 

I've gotta stop doing that. I know it's annoying, but it is, I mean appropriate. 

She was starts in. Belfast and on in February and then concludes in May 2005. 

Yeah. 

Yeah. 

They well, yeah. 

Went to Europe, Dublin, Ireland, London, England. 

Did they good for? Damn, they're living their best life. 

300 and fourth life, best life. 

Westlife living their best. 

They should have called it the best life tour. 

What's better than the number ones? Isn't. 

That because that's kinda. 

I agree. 

Egocentric as well. 

Number 111111. 

But I think they had that many. I don't think you're allowed to sing that song anymore. 

What? 

Why? 

Ohh that's that guy. 

Ohh what's that now? 

I don't even know who that is. 

You do alright, stop. 

Cool. 

330,000 fans attended £8,000,000 in. 

Are we played Kylo? It's okay. 

The venue, but despite these impressive numbers, actually that didn't sound impressive to me, to be honest. 

Yeah. 

Nah, not really. 

But. 

They were saying it was impressive. 

I would be saying right? 

But Shane in the band wrote a book and Shane said in his book that that was their smallest selling concert tour dates. 

If it was EUR, see if it was like, you know, last week we're talking about the European Union, but then far out, yeah, that would have screwed me over. 

Yes, cause €8 million fine millionaires, billionaires. Gazillion ads. It was as small as selling to us, so shame revealed all in his book my side of life. So if you'd like to know more about. West. Side my side of life by Shane. 

Did did you get your hands on chains? But does it ever go to the top of? The New York Times Best seller list. 

Ohh who knows. 

Ohh no, I didn't think so. 

Possibly. Possibly we can review it anyway if you like. I'm sure Lois would have something. 

Ohh should. Let's go to more tours. You 2 begin their Vertigo tour in support of their album how to dismantle an atomic bomb. 

Good please. 

That was that particular performance was from the Chicago Lake of that tour. 

Ohh was it lovely? 

Yes, in Chicago. Hmm. 

Lovely. They're too are started in March and concluded in December. 

Hmm, that's a big tour. Just across the states, though. 

Honolulu HI my ohh yes. 

That's what I finished. That's what I finished in Hawaii. Good place to wrap things up because then you like you finished the tour. Big Wrap party and you're already at Hawaii like that is the dream that is the rock'n'roll dream, right? 

Hmm, you just relax at one of those really nice resorts there. 

Yeah, that's kickback at Waikiki or Maui or. 

That would be lovely. 

Ohh my. 

So they had different options. They had an indoor and an outdoor, so the indoor one had an elliptical beast stage. 

Ohh as far. 

As the set up as far as the stage configuration, yes Yep. 

They are very, very intimate. The fans and the stadium 1 had a. Massive LED video screen. 

Yeah, they're very good at stadium shows. You 2 very good. 

389,000,000, that's a little bit more than W last £8,000,000 well with the pounds US. 

It's better than less life, isn't it? 

That man. 

Ohh exchange right converted to euro. 

Dollars public shame. 

It's probably about the same. 

That was the second highest person tour at that time, after Westlife #1 film. 

So. 

4.6 million fans attended the shows 110 concerts in all, and all of them selling out performances included the London's Hyde Park and Paul McCartney popped up and staying with them. 

Ohh yeah, that's a big one. Did they? Did it cover as Sergeant Pepper's there? 

Ohh that's nice. 

I don't have that. Sorry about that. 

OK, so we've been lengthy. 

It's it's. Well, I'm scared of copyright bots. So you know. List list the better. In February, they went through Latin America. Latin America is always big, and then they did that that you 23D film, remember. 

I remember I didn't watch it. 

Yeah, live action. 

Did you watch it? 

The world's first live action digital 3D film. 

Three game did you have to wear 3D? 

Very innovative. 

Glasses to watch this? 

Yeah, I think you did. I think it did, but it won. The Vertigo tool won the Billboard Road Work touring awards for the top two, or top Drawer top single event with U Two's management company receiving the Top Manager Award. 

Ohh top manager. 

I shop. 

Congratulations on top manager. 

It's like employee of the month. Your top manner. 

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

So manager. 

Two thumbs up. I'm a top manager. 

Yeah. 

Yeah. And but I they do do. Lot they do do. That's the number Two's too. 

I. 

They do. 

They do live well. 

Very good live shows, and I've loved seeing footage of them doing this fear in Las Vegas recently. 

Yeah, yeah. Ohh yes yes. 

And I mean what? What kind of? That's just that, that venue. You mentioned I mentioned being in the 90s, like living in the now. 

That the incredible. 

Tease and seeing a venue like the Sphere mention if you could travel through time and then see this and go and watch it, you would that is science fiction. 

You got. 

That's the future. That's the future. 

That is. Yeah. 

That's better than a hover board. 

And and actually, yeah. 

That's the future. 

And if you'd watch shows like beyond 2000, and that's if you like, how come we haven't sorted the tea ready? In the 90s. It's me to the entertainment portion of the evening. 

Ohh, we've got some new movies finally, because we've had the same ones. 

Retire to the living room and fire up the cathode ray tube and the VCR. 

So these are my dad's. Still has decide note. Yeah, it's an interesting story. 

I'm. 

I'm here for you. 

My dad still has his VCR out. You know, some people like a few. I think we've got a VCR somewhere, but most people have retired. 

Ohh, it's still early in the racks. It's still. Yeah, I've got one out. In the shed and. 

Them to the shed. 

Yeah, yeah. 

Most people, but not my dad. My dad's is still set up as if it's part of the critical entertainment infrastructure. Still hooked up and there's this CD player next to it, and there's a DVD player. All of the it's just relics as amazing. 

Uh huh. Was stood for a decade as he. 

Well, no, it is actually a video cassette sitting in it. 

Yeah, but it's I'm certain that that's probably been sitting. 

So the other day am over. There with our some. 

There for a decade. 

No, no, I think he recently watched it. 

It's all hooked up. 

Really. 

It all works. 

Ohh would look like rubbish on the TV anyway. 

Yeah. 

Doesn't matter. 

Yes, sorry, I'm taking you off. 

Doesn't matter nostalgia. 

You were over there with. 

So I was over there with our son and he walks over and he turns on his. 

Our son. 

Yes. 

Mom, is this what I think it is? 

What does he think it is? 

Now he knew. He knew it was a big yeah, but he'd heard about them. 

I use of ACR. 

And he's like and then. 

Ohh, it's like the Ark of the Covenant. 

And then there's a video tape half hanging as a video tape. Half hanging out of it like so. You know what? I think it's when you rewind. Yeah, some vcr. 

Automatic Jen. 

When it gets to the end of, automatically injects, so he's watched it and he's been kind and he's rewind. 

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rewound yeah. Ohh or he's fallen. Slave and it's gone to the end of the type I think is that happens to fall asleep. 

Telling that self. That's probably more. That's probably more likely. And so it's half hanging out. And my dad's like. 

Yeah, that's. 

That's, that's a VCR. It's like ohh, I've heard about these and then my dad says well, you can take that because he goes how do they work? How does I don't understand this? You know, because he's everything Netflix streaming. 

Then it's on demand. 

He watches the TV. The Internet says he doesn't, really. 

The Internet. 

Is that we? To have to watch things off of something else that's not just magically projected. 

Yeah, this and that. The trauma from from losing access to the Internet is that's another story altogether. 

Some are, dad, says wood. 

Yeah. 

There's a lot to be said for physical media. 

Pull the tape out and you can have a look. You can have a look at how it works. 

What musical media? 

Just don't. Don't open up, don't open it up and. 

Ruin it? Just. 

No, don't touch. You can't touch. Do not touch the tape inside. It says it very clearly. 

Yes. 

Ohh, it's embossed on the on the thing. 

He's pulled it out and he's like. 

Ohh this is like happy. 

I don't understand and I. 

What's it like? 

Was. 

It sound like. 

Ohh. He was so excited. 

If you're writing a lot. 

And I had to explain to him that cause. He's like, where's the movie? How how do I get the movie out? And he's looking around and I had to explain to him. And it has tape like a cassette tape. Cause he's pulled. We've pulled a cassette tape apart together to have a look at it. 

Ohh so we understand how it works. 

So I said it's the same thing. 

Smells of across the heads. 

So I flicked. It flipped it open and I showed him. And he was just playing on. And then he looked at the. Sticker at the side. It's like. 

Ohh. 

It's a video easy. 

Ohh it's an old video. 

It's my dad's going to the closing down sale of video. 

Amazing, please. 

Easy and he's purchased started ohh all of the videos. 

Project X Matthew Broderick, and the chimpanzees. 

I think it's probably got all of them. I don't know what the. Now that way I won that in TV hit. 

Ohh okay yes. 

I won that in TV hits in one of those 25 word or those coupons anyway. 

Ohh. 

And so yeah, it was. A video. Easy and that's the. End of the story. It's actually not that interesting, but now that I've finished telling it, but it it was interesting at the time. 

That's stupid, still works. What were we talking? Ohh entertainment. We're in the entertainment section. 

Videos. Videos. 

Yes, number one in the box office. I was talking about firing up there. Yeah, it's right. Number one at the box office in the UK. 

Chief. 

His diary of a mad black woman. It topped the box office. 

I've never heard. 

Ohh out of it. 

Ohh it's ohh. Well, look, look, let's just say that were laughing all the way to the bank because this thing debuts at #1 and earns $21,905,089 in its opening weekend. And there ain't much to it. 

Final Type 1. 

Do and I know what yall come out. Bring it out. 

Peace be still. 

Hi. 

Keeps me. 

It's. A piece of steel long as you've got a piece of steel. If you wanna have piece load your steel. Thank you, chief. 

Kimberly Elise, Shamar Moore, Steve Harris, Sicily, Tyson and Tyler Perry. 

Are you note with? 

Medea. 

Ohh, your hands pretty again. What is this repeat offender? 

Day. 

Tyler Perry's. Diary of a Mad black woman. 

I'm placing you under house arrest. 

You ain't gonna put me on no House of it. 

It's either that or prison. Take the house arrest. 

Of. 

Ohh. 

So I think, like Tyler Perry was the draw and I don't think I don't remember Tyler Pen. Three being all of that much of a thing in Australia, which is why this movie is probably a little bit unfamiliar to us. 

No. 

Hmm. 

But in looking at this movie. 

It's a bit rubbish. 

I mean, I I, Tyler Perry, obviously very popular at the time in the United States. Hence the number one on debut at the box office. It's a romance. 

Hmm. 

Comedy drama. 

Yes. Helen is living with her wealthy husband Charles, and then on their 18th wedding anniversary, he abruptly ends their marriage, leaving her devastated as, as you would imagine. 

Hmm. 

She then shacks up with her grandmother, who's Medea Tulla Peli help. 

Which is Tyler Perry in drag. 

Her navigate. Ohh hates. 

It's like a big Momma's house style thing. 

It's like Big Momma's. Right. 

So it's ohh ah it's like. 

Helping her navigate the challenges of starting and you and I think Tyler played multiple roles in it. 

Mrs Doubtfire, but with Tyler Perry, yeah. Yeah. So, well, that's the thing. This is the difference where Mrs Doubtfire. Where Robin Williams was playing a dude playing someone, Tyler Perry was just playing the grandma. That's it wasn't like it like that, but he played multiple games. 

It's in multiple roles, says. 

Like what? Eddie Murphy did with the Nutty professor. Same sort of thing, yes, yes. 

Ohh okay. 

But I would say. And in theory, a pirate copy. 

They went on to end 50.7 million, and that's just in the US and Canada, but probably nothing here cause I don't remember it. 

Yeah, that's what I mean. 

But it seems like it was. 

I didn't even remember being. 

Just this comedy thing where it's like human and it was just situational and a romantic comedy. So it costs ****** all to. Like so they laughing all the way. The bank. 

Because he was paying multiple people too, and have to get lots of actors and I think it turned into a bit of a franchise centred around the media character as well. 

Yes. 

Well, I like the fact that Australia had actually picked a pretty good movie for #1 this week at at the box office, although at the time as a fan of this comic franchise, and this is before the superhero film is a big thing at the time. As a fan of the comic franchise, they really did. They took the idea of this comic book and they interpreted it in their own ways. And they made Keanu Reeves the star of it. And I was like, whoa, I'm talking about Constantine. 

Ohh. 

What if I told you that God and the devil made it wait for the souls? 

Of all that kind. 

No direct contact with humans. 

That would be the rule. 

Just influence. See who would win. 

Demons stay in hell. 

Angels in heaven. 

They called the balance. 

I need to see what you see. 

You. 

Do this. 

There's no turning back. 

You see them? 

They see, you understand? 

The. 

Ohh sunny. Ohh. 

I've got a whole ohh theme park. 

The. 

Full of red delights for you. 

Aren't you? 

Peach. 

Is a great movie. It was, in hindsight, really good movie that I have been meaning to actually watch again, because I've noticed that it's been trending a little bit on social media recently. Like and I think there is rumours that there are making a sequel. If not, it might be confirmed that they're going. 

No, it's saying the verbs yet been announced with no set. 

To do a sequel of it. There you go so. 

To reprise his role. 

Good. 

Good, because it is pretty great. Francis Lawrence is the director. This was his debut on a screenplay written by Kevin Brogan and Frank. Hello that was very loosely based on the DC Comic, Hellblazer and that Constantine is this except I think he was British and then they made him Keanu Reeves and I was like ohh you just you like it's that's not who Constantine is. That was the thing that I had to get over when I first saw the movie. But I've I've seen the movie since it's pretty good. The rest of the cast are really good as well. So Constantine. Right. Is this exorcist? He's like a man. He's not a priest. He's an exorcist slash medium and he has the ability to talk to half angels and half demons. You can see heaven and hell, and I think he ends up going there. At one stage you read the comics. They're very good. 

Hmm. 

Comics are fantastic, and it's really interesting because it's outside of the whole superhero stuff. DC do it's more supernatural horror and horror comics. 

Hmm. 

Interesting, I think and I I really enjoyed it. I thought it. It's. Just so much. It's original compared to standard comic book fair, so to to see it be made into a movie. I was very excited because I'd read a lot of the Hellblazer comics anyway so he can communicate with half angels and half demons and he has to rescue somebody who sells going to hell for the wrong reason or whatever Rachel Weiss is in there. Sha LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton. Brilliant. You know, I think she plays like Gabriel uh Gavin Rossdale from Bush. 

The poop. 

He's in there is a bad guy. I think he's like an Angel or something. Been a long time since I've store it but saw it but the devil I love this is one of the best portrayals of the devil in a film, I think, and it's very underrated and it's by one of my favourite actors, who I also think is underrated because he's always a bad guy. Peter Stormare, who you would have heard at the end of the. Trailer there did. 

Hey, what's mean? 

He say he was the guy that did the eye surgery on Tom Cruise in Minority report. 

What does it mean? 

He's a he's the replacer in Call of Duty. He's he's just a fantastic actor. He's been. He's in the big lebowski. There is the money. Lebowski, he's one of those guys. He is. He's always, like, cast as a bad guy. He was chernabog in the series American gods. He's a great actor. He's just really cool and he's he's he's perfect as as the devil. So in the movie Constantine, who sees? All this stuff. 

This. 

It has all these visions. The other thing with Constantine and and that's cool about him is he's he's got a terminal lung cancer diagnosis and he knows he's going to help because he's already been there. So he's he's kind of got nothing to lose. 

Ohh. 

So he's a very cynical, dark kind of dude. So, but what he does is he tries to redeem himself by doing all these exercises and restoring the balance between heaven and hell, sitting on the Dean's off the earth back in the house. 

Don't know. 

Not supposed to be there, but he gets caught up in this plot with a cop and a twin. Sisters commit suicide and the cheese in hell, and he's gotta go and rest. Fever and it's ADA. It's a long story going. Watch the movie 29.8 million in its opening weekend, though, so it ranked second behind hits that Will Smith thing. Yeah. And and but but like I said, over time it got that cult following. And I think it was because when it first came out, like a lot of fans were like and no. 

Hmm. 

But like, once you transcend the and you go ohh, it's an interpretation of the story and just take it as a film. It's actually really good, really good and and. Yeah, there's a sequel which I'm very excited about. Thanks for letting me know. 

And maybe, maybe it's become popular too because Keanu, we have all just grown to love. Him more and more over the years. So maybe people are just watching it because Keanu as well, yeah, maybe. 

The Kiani effector, I mean it couldn't save that last matrix movie, though that was dog. 

And. 

Hey, well, let's go over to where we're moving. 

Movie Movie Awards, in fact fell on the 27th of February. 

News news. Ohh yes. 

We had the 77th Academy Awards at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. How is it by Chris Rock? This is the first time he hosts the awards. 

Oh, oh, of course. 

Hmm, quite the most brisant hosting within rules. 

Because we all know what happened when Chris Rock did it most recently. His most recent hosting. Yeah, we've got belt. 

He's monologue. Did include jabs at the various actors. 

Yeah. 

Which is that standard, though you gotta respect that. 

He that it doesn't matter who's doing it then. 

They're gonna take the **** out of. 

Yeah, nothing bad happened to him at this one. 

Hmm. 

He questioned the star status of of some of them and ended up making a joke about Jude Law. 

G Ohh well, I guessed Jude Law star. Ohh you started kind of risen by then. I saw him in a movie. 

Ohh like reading, I felt like it was pretty. Big back then, wasn't he? Was he was with the Sienna Miller or whatever. 

You know, whenever. 

I watched the movie. He was in the other day called the. Order and he was fantastic and he's great. 

Thanks. 

Was he? 

The dude. Yeah, very talented. 

No, this the the joke by Chris Rock led to Sean Penn defending him during his presentation. 

Which is when he gave out Hillary Swank's award. 

Hmm. 

And it sounded pretty bloody off his chops, if I'm being. 

1st. 

And the Oscar goes to. 

Hillary Swank $1,000,000, baby. 

This is the second Academy Award for Hillary Slang, who took home her first Oscar for her leading role in boys Don't Cry. She's also the first female in Academy history to be nominated for playing a boxer. 

I don't know. But I did in this life does it does deserve all this? I I'm just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream. I never thought this would ever happen, let alone be nominated and a working actor for that matter. And now this. 

Do you remember that film? $1,000,000 baby let's warm my heart out. 

Ohh my gosh. Tiny watched that for the first time when we were watching stuff. 

We watched it very recently. Yeah. 

It was a probably 3 or 4 years ago. 

Yeah. 

I sobbed. That was terrible. 

Ohh. 

I hate that. 

Ohh. 

Many facets. 

Cleaning fluids so good in it. It was a Fanta. It was a great film. 

No. Ohh stop it no. 

It was a great film, but it just killed me. 

Hmm. 

It killed me anyway. She won that and she should have her performance in that film was fantastic. 

She was instead of. Yeah, yeah. 

And generally though, I mean the Oscars. Ohh no, I care it's such a ****. 

Going to be boring. 

Ohh yeah, she said, winking. 

Yes, unless someone gets slapped. 

Just everyone patting each other on the back and although having said that, this year's nominees for the Oscars are very interesting. I really wanna see Demi Moore win for the substance because that is a body horror. 

Hmm. 

Film that, just like you would think, has no place at at the Oscars. However, I would argue that the story and just all of that stuff means it deserves every accolade that they throw at it. I thoroughly enjoyed that film, so hopefully it maybe I'll I'll have a bit more faith in the Oscars if the substance wins this year, but. That in 2005, I mean the what did we have? We had a Robin Williams was still alive. That was good and yes. 

He was going to do a song, but then they they candid at the last minute cause they thought it was too risque. So then when he came out on stage, he had duct. Tape over his mouth. 

Really. 

Because he's being he's making a statement. 

Full to Merlin. Yeah. Yeah. 

That's interesting. 

So I. Think this thing, and but Speaking of of boxing, yes, we had a big premiere as well sweet 20 years ago the. 

Yeah. 

Yes, because when she said she was playing a boxer, it was not a. Stupid dog boxing. 

Reality show premieres on the 3rd of March. 2005 The Contender offering an inside look into the lives of professional boxes as they compete in an elimination style tournament aiming for a pretty significant cash prize and a potential boxing career boost. 

I remember this. 

Now the young fighter. I got my shot and became a champion response. It changed my life for. Now there are 16 new boxers who will get their chance. They're shot at greatness. 

That. 

Um, so that that was the inaugural season. That was Sugar Ray Leonard. There he was, one of the hosts. And then Sylvester Stallone also hosted the first season of his as well. 

Yes, apparently he just randomly started sparring in one of the episodes while he was wearing. Jeans in denim? 

Stallone did. It's really not a good idea. Like he's. 

We've spoken about this before. No physical activity should occur in denim. 

Yeah, don't exercise in debt. 

John Cena. 

And. 

Yeah, well, there's a lot of hard like, you know, I feel. Like, that's a thing's bogan's do. 

Lenny Kravitz goes to the gym and does the gym in just a pair of jeans and no shirt. 

Exercises these Dennis. Cycling, you see bogan's food's swimming in the Queensland River with mullets in denim jeans. 

He looks amazing, credible, but not we don't. We don't do sport in denim, no. 

We don't support in denim. Fair enough to and on Tuesdays we wear pink. 

Ohh. 

That Wednesdays. 

Ohh was it sorry. What do we do on Tuesdays? 

Foxes living together. I don't know what we do on Tuesdays and Tuesdays. We are fading, according to Ashley Simpson, boxes living together, undergoing training, participating in matches, delves into their personalised their relationships, challenges to their face created by Mark Burnett. 

Right. 

Yeah. 

This was the first time I did it. They did it because they did this with U, FC and all. That sort of stuff. Yeah, the. 

The reality goal was he survivor. Was he amazing race as well? 

Asked Bennett. 

Yeah, I think so. 

How do you did a few he did a few of us he loves loves reality. 

Might have had some interview with that. Yeah, he was. His reality TV God. 

Very good at this evening. 

Competition TV God. 

So he's good at these two. There's been lots of seasons and people liked it. 

When did a lot for the sport like it? It's it got people like Sergio Mora, Alfonso Gomez and Peterborough Fredo juniors. Their starts all not their stars, but they got them more notoriety and they achieved a fair bit of success after that, after they'd been on the show, but. And, but boxing is in a state of disarray. I mean, I I feel like if the contender. Was given better air time and and and stuff and was around now. I mean, look at where it is now. Now it's like, well, there's the legit stuff. 

It's a bit of a spectacle, isn't it? For the for the YouTube news. 

There is the legit boxing, which is still very good, and then there's Jake Paul, which is the should be on the number 2 tour. 

Hmm. 

Ohh, I'm moving into the world of video games. Mel. 

Mortal Kombat. 

Ohh OK cool. 

So we got a mortal. 

You know, I remember being very excited by the 1st Mortal Kombat game and it was because like the motion capture, the characters looked like real real. 

Ohh, I loved more than combat. 

Ohh bad. Those graphics look these days. They've dated a lot, but at the time it was ground and the gore. 

Ohh. 

The goal was just so much fun. 

Ohh. 

The fatalities were my favourite. 

Yeah, like dead straight fighter. And you're doing the straight fighter stuff. You're fighting with cartoon characters and then Mortal Kombat comes out and you are ripping people's spines out of their bags. 

Yes, lovely. 

You know, even if it was in 18. 

Was that a Nintendo? 

They're novels in arcade thing. 

Yeah, but I think it was a Nintendo. And then this time 20 years ago it. Was released for the game too. 

There is no. 

So that's Nintendo. 

Way that Mortal Kombat was a Nintendo exclusive. 

I think it was on. The I think it was on the. Entertainment. 

Really. 

The Super net and my brother had it and he had he had he had an entendo. 

So when? You. Don't forget to. 

So my mother called it. 

And intended. Don't forget to feed your nintendogs after you've ripped people's spines out in or electrocuted them or whatever. 

After you reply Kang spine out and stabbed him with it. Yet side note, isn't it funny how mums call any gaming console the Nintendo doesn't matter what it is, they call it the Nintendo or the in Tendo. Wow. 

The is. That what? Do. Yeah. Well, it depends. It just depends on whatever it's whatever the first game console that you brought into the house cause for someone to be the Atari and others would. 

Is in the house. 

Do you love me then? 

It's get off the Atari in the fine processing. 

Be the seguro. 

Yeah, won't. 

Stop playing. You make it drive and. You know, go and feed your nintendogs. 

Deception was the 6th game in the Mortal Kombat series, and it's got it. 

Mortal Kombat deception. I can't believe they did. See six of them. 

Gameplay is pretty good. It's got the classic fighting the one on one battles. 

The standard Mortal Kombat. But there was so much more mill. There was so much more to Mortal Kombat deception. 

There was. There was conquest mode with A K. 

So that. 

Hang on, you let. Let's let them speak for it. 

Okay sure. 

Legacy of combat now expands to unexplored. 

See. See you much better that is. 

That's a lot better than my voice, yes. 

Yeah, legacy of combat Now expands to unexplored realms. Test your strategic skills and chess combat. Battle it out with puzzle combat MK style. What journey? Deep into the MK universe with Conquest mode. Welcome. Ohh World Travel a path and countering current and classic mortal combat gear actors acquiring fighting skills. Bonus items and more. Deception 4 GameCube heads 2 exclusive playable characters Goro and Shao Kahn. 

Contact. No, I didn't like it. It does. That does drag on a little bit actually. It's like it, I think I'm. 

Let me stop them. 

I'm not sure actually. I'm torn now. I actually think that you probably are explaining it better, like chance combat. 

Chance Combat says the chess game a month. 

So you play chess and then they. 

Then they will remember. 

Do you ever have battle chess back? Today on the old Commodore Amiga 500, where when you when you well, you play battle battle chess and then the characters would actually have a little jewel and kill each other as he took them. 

No, I didn't have it tomorrow. 

So that's similar, I guess chest combat battle chess better than mortal combat. 

It's no unfortunately I missed. Father's just puzzle puzzle, combat and in all of the combats they spell it with a K, so that's where the Kardashians. 

We'll puzzle. 

Got it from. 

Mortal mortal Kardashians. 

All the keys. 

They're not mortals. They're demons. Constantine would have seen them. No, but with the with the the puzzle combat I was side by side, Tetra. And then you'd have the Mortal Kombat characters underneath. 

Yes. 

So you so were they falling like in the adult like an extension? 

Fight. Yeah. Well, you plate. No. You play Tetris. No, the boxes. No, not like that at. 

It's. 

Ohh again that I was going to. 

All. You would play normal Tetris, but they'd be, you know, the characters you choose in Tetris would obviously fight, and depending on who had knocked out from all rows with no, they would just be a little animation underneath. 

See a nude Lou came for a minute there. 

Yes. 

Thought for the bricks. 

The Tetris thing was, like, overlaid over the Tetris thing. It didn't have. You need to do is just depending on how well you've performed in Tetris was how well your character fought against the opposition. 

I'm not understanding anything that you're saying right now. No, actually. What? What time can you rap? No. 

I think I'm explaining it quite well. There were other there were other modes though as well, so. Enjoy that Mortal Kombat on the GameCube, which I didn't have because Nintendo is for babies. 

Well, sure. It was the first Mortal Kombat to introduce online play as well. You had returning fighters Sub 0 Scorpion. Raiden Sindel remember Sindel Sindel scream. 

I like sub zero. Here's. Night. Although one set fire, this is screened of people and they turned. 

There's the scream. I think I think so, yeah. 

To ash. 

Yes, Luke, hang came back, but Luke hang because he died in the series before it. 

That was cool actually. 

I think he came back as a corpse. 

Ohh really? 

It's very disappointing cause Luke came was my favourite character because I knew how to do this, you know. 

Zombie weekend. 

He scissor kick. 

Ohh the scissor kick the bicycle. Week that ****** people off that yeah, yeah. 

Yeah, and that's all I ever did. That's the only move I knew and I just would do that. I'd do the out. Of that to whoever I was going up against. And they would get angry. 

That slave, yet the video of the dude. The Rage quit video. The dude with the bicycle kick its world famous. 

No. Really. Well, that's what I did. 

Shao Kahn is a ****** ******. Because that's, that's. That's all I can say against this guy. He kicks me in the head. He not look at this. He's practically got a flawless victory against me. Liu Kang is. Back, back, forward. B. Do the ******* bicycle kick you stupid? You're supposed to know Kung Fu. I could probably do the bicycle kick easier than in Lukang could. He's taunting me. He's he talked to me. He's letting me get in free shots, and then he and then he and and and then he just and then he just chucked me out. He shocked me out. I I can't. I can't beat him. I can't beat him. I can't beat him. 

Look back. 

How many times he give me? How many times did you kill? Me in this one video. I I'm done. I'm done. Done. I'm done. 

I'm done. 

I'm done. The thing with this one as well though. It was one of the best selling games in series. Over 2 million copies solved. 

Really. 

Because you will, because it was more than one game. It's like 5 games in. 

One on the GameCube. Yeah, but it took the fatalities to a new level. So the fatalities were pretty brutal already, but in this one who took it up another note. 

Yeah, that gory. Really. Really. 

She yes, age character had two fatalities plus a unique Harry Curie which is a self kill move which was very her harakiri. 

Ohh that's a bit. 

That's a bit controversial, isn't it? 

I think it's called was very controversial, very controversial. 

Yeah. 

Do you wanna know what some of the fatality? Can we talk about the fatality? 

Play Foo. 

It's pretty violent that are right trigger warning. 

That's fine. I'll you know it's I I can handle it, yeah. 

Violent warning. OK, you. Do that right. OK. So Liu Kang's snaps his opponent's neck, twists their head around, and then stomps their skull into the ground. 

Look, I I I'm sorry if I can handle that. 

That's a he is another one. Where he rips off. His opponent's limbs 1 by 1. 

Well. 

Scorpion summons a huge portal of fire beneath his opponent, sending them straight to the nether region to burn for eternity. 

The nether region. 

And that not his nether region. 

No, you mean hell like like. 

Then the hell the hell not. 

Yeah, it's something that the region not if you got burning in your nether regions after hanging out with Scorpion, I think he probably need to put through a call to Scorpion and then go and get some. 

His not his groyne they don't go. 

To his. 

It doesn't matter. In the burning time. And sub zero. This one he rips out his opponent's spine and then he freezes the spine into a sword and then slices them in half with it. 

Yes, that's my favourite thing. Ohh that's standing. 

So it takes. This this, that. Next level the spine. The spine move. 

That's beautiful. 

I wonder if they have the remember the Bay ballots where they turned into a baby. Three and the friendships, I wonder. If they have those. I loved the friendship cause there was one friendship. I think it was sub zero in lukang and they did skipping together. 

Ohh that's lovely. 

Similarly, was lovely. 

Nice. That's enough to get the babalities and the franchises. 

My brother had. All the cheat codes for all of them. The friendships. Friendships were nice. Kind of cancelled out someone's spine being ripped out. 

That's fine with the friendships. It's like everybody wins. 

What's happened? 

So much fun too. Just like that, we've reached the end of yet another show, and it's time for the hatches, matches and dispatches segments. And if you can cast your mind back, I only want you to rewind like, you know, maybe an. Hour. 

Hmm.

Show that said, this all got our own type of slang.

Hmm, we're about favourites dynamic duos, the man brothers.

You know, Wu Tang is one of those things where it's like, like, I like Wutang clan, but. I don't like you. I don't listen to much of them and it's like people liked Wu Tang clan because it was cool to like Wu Tang clan, cause Wu Tang clan were like the coolest, the coolest thing at the time. Yeah. 

There's a lot of. There was a lot of words taking Clan T-shirts going around back in the day and even shirts. I was woo Tang dress shirt like Alien Ant Farm. Someone I was never big. I was never big into them back in the day, but I've started listening to them recently. 

Very good. It is very good, yes.

Great actor. Really good actor. 

Active, I think probably the early acting was alongside Redman, the other man brother. 

I love that movie. How high? How high was the movie they were in? It was really fun. 

He was in the wire, the HBO series The Wire. 

A bit more about dramatic role, a bit of a change of pace from how high. 

So got a bit serious. Melvin cheese Wagstaff.

Yes, some. 

Great song. 

Thing you know. Method Man last month cause he's he's gotten fit. He's gotten very fit. 

He has been on a bit of a fitness regime. 

He's done, but if you look at the Method Man dive, he's very vocal about his diet. Now healthy, he's kind of I I don't. 

Yes, it was taking it seriously. 

I don't know if he eats meat. I'm not sure if he eats meat anymore, but anyway you look at the Method Man diet, you can figure that out for yourself. 

Yeah. 

It's fine, but last month. He was accused of punching on in a gymnasium. He got in a fight with his daughter's ex boyfriend. 

Hmm. 

Yeah, there was a lot in the. News about that. 

Well, they said that it wasn't his fault. The guy took a swing at him first and he just defended himself. 

Ohh fair enough. 

I mean, he was born in 1971. 

Why would you get in a fight with Method Man? 

Hi still wouldn't take Method Man on. 

That's near an idiot. No way. 

He's cool. 

You're an idiot for that. 

Don't punch a cool person. Yeah. You punch a cool person, even if the cool person doesn't win from being punched. 

I think he I think he won the fight. 

He did. 

I think he. 

But you just kind of look anytime you try to take on someone who's. Ohh, you're gonna look very uncool. 

Hmm. 

You're gonna look the opposite of what they are. Yes, and that's what happened there. 

Well, I hope you have a good birthday Method Man. 

Free tunes. 

Significant figure in hip hop and entertainment. And we love you. We love you and your fellow man brother Red. 

Red Man, I'm a big fan of Red Man. 

Hmm. 

I'm a big fan of Method Man and that is the end man of this show for this week. Thank you very much for putting up with this booming. 

Ohh yes, I like breaking boom. I'm tired of everything needing to have a password and your email. 

Well. 

Give. 

That does piece me off a lot. 

I know, I know. 

Everything, every single thing. 

And and and now they're saying with your passwords. This is a boom on top of a boom, you know, like I always just add an extra number or a go up one number and the digits at the end of the day. 

Yeah. 

You can't do that anymore. 

Yeah. No, because you that's. 

The. 

They like. 

That's too similar to you last password. 

I know, but it's fair enough. 

Thank you. 

Ohh, you eat it always. Me too. 

And then you reset your password and you get the email and you click through and you reset it and it goes. And then you reset it to what it used to be, even though you forgot what it used to be. So you had to reset it so then you reset it and you put in what used to be because you forgot that that's what it used to be. And that says you can't use that. Password because you've used it before. 

Cause you thought he used to. 

Ohh give some people. 

Me. Dead. The other thing too, with all of that stuff, is it all of this is so you can live in the online world and make online transact. 

Yes. 

Kids. And then you show up to a place where it's a face to face contact thing and you present cash. 

Ohh. 

And they still ask you to make an online transaction in the store via a card via a tapping on something or using your Apple Pay or whatever like that. 

Ohh yes, goodnight tight. We don't take much no money. 

And you front up with cash and they look at you like you are Charles Manson and it's ridiculous. 

Hmm. 

You can be born. 

****. 

It's like the Antichrist is walked into. 

United KP cashing a bumbag dude. 

My stuff. 

Ohh that would be suspicious. I even, and I think boomers particularly suspicious of people with bum bags. 

Yeah. 

What? You can't be suspicious of is the fact that the show's over and it's it's a. 

Yes. Hmm. 

It's enough for this week. I think we've got some stuff next week we can look at that later on. Do we need to discuss that now? 

Remind boom again. I think that could be a standing standing segment. 

I think I think you're right. So if you didn't like that this week probably don't do them just next week, cause it's probably gonna be more of the same. 

Yes.
