Speaker 2:Hey, knocking on season two seven store he's still going, ladies and gentlemen, he's still going way. I didn't know where you were going with that. I thought you'd done another co-pilot poem then at the start.
Speaker 1:I didn't know where you're going with that.
Speaker 2:I thought you'd done another co-pilot poem then at the start I didn't click that that was a guns and roses, but very good although I do feel, I do feel you lacked um conviction, as you started to do that. You started to think what am I doing?
Speaker 1:I could almost see the episodes. Every episode, every episode, I start to go. What am I doing?

Speaker 1:Help grow the show but that was the early day, that was the early days. So, yeah, literally, logan was just born. So, uh, yeah, so I think we had a mid-season, we must have had a mid-season break and six episodes, and then Logan was born.
Speaker 2:Okay. Yeah, it's amazing how time flies. We were just discussing this Off-air listeners Before we started recording and looking back at the fact that we started this Back in 2022, we're now in 2024. It's a bit mad that we're still doing this, really, but it's as ever. It's an excuse to get together and have some beers and, as other parents.
Speaker 1:Talking of beers, it's time for the firsty first.
Speaker 2:Whey. What have we got this week, Miles?
Speaker 1:I couldn't wait any longer. We've got Ooh, it's really cold, isn't it?

Speaker 2:Space Invaders.
Speaker 1:Space Invaders can Arcade Maid. It's a double dry hopped DIPA and it's 8% what is it with these?
Speaker 2:why are you drinking such strong beers? Valium.
Speaker 1:You know you can't make it. Compared to previous ones it's not strong.
Speaker 2:Well, actually it is Compared to last week's one or the one before with the pibble one Store cold drink fresh.
Speaker 1:It's a coin operated beer.
Speaker 2:He's looking at it very lovingly viewers. He's looking at this can ofly viewers like he's looking at this can of beer, the same way he looks at his child when I was is that just because you're blind and can't read the words?
Speaker 1:no, because my brain goes off in tangents, as you probably realise, but I was just thinking of coin operated. It says coin operated beer, which made me think about the old arcade machines that are coin-operated. Yeah, and are our kids? Are they going to be a generation of no coins? We don't have these arcade machines without coins and things. Who knows? That's the way my brain goes.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean it depends if they go to a retro arcade where they have to use coins or whether it's all just contactless payment.
Speaker 1:But only time will tell Williams but is a retro arcade what we used to play, or is a retro arcade what our parents used to play?
Speaker 2:I imagine it's what both us and our parents used to play. I remember going to arcade. It's a very orange. It looks like fizzy orange, can you see? It, it's, it's luminous, it's luminous.
Speaker 1:That's like a pure orange juice Bubbles. Yeah, is it a?
Speaker 2:fruity IPA Doesn't taste fruity, it's just very orange, it's got a tan.
Speaker 1:Is it? Am I allowed to drink it? Is it safe?
Speaker 2:Just drink it. Well, see what happens. See what happens.
Speaker 1:Well, not if it's meant to be like a clear drink, I'm sure it's been in your fridge.
Speaker 2:I'm sure it's absolutely fine. You see plenty of these coloured beers, wadiums there's no date on it.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, what have I got?
Speaker 2:he's concerned here ladies and gentlemen, he's concerned. He's concerned about the beer being the colour of beer there's a load of there.
Speaker 1:Okay, how do you know it's Japanese? Do you read Japanese? That's a very good point. Actually, I shouldn't presume it's Japanese. Just because I can't understand it doesn't mean it's Japanese. Could also be Spanish and there's no English on it. Actually, when does this come from?
Speaker 2:Who knows, who knows what else. But I think you should stop worrying. Worry less, drink more. Worry less, drink more Cheers where does this come from?
Speaker 1:who knows? But I think you should stop worrying. Worry less, drink more. Worry less, drink more.
Speaker 2:Cheers, cheers it's a coin operated beer cheers so tell us how this coin operated beer tastes bubbles, bubbles bubbles with a slight tang in the back of the mouth.
Speaker 1:Erm, that's it really, erm you don't look very impressed no, it's all right, it's a yeah trying to get drunk.
Speaker 2:Yeah those beers he looks very underwhelmed listeners he's put, considering how happy he was looking at the can. He has gone from being excited to pondering about our child's use of arcades. They're being a bit miserable.
Speaker 1:Isn't it funny? I'm one of those beer purchasers where I'll go into a shop and I pick out the most colourful cans, the prettiest ones. Basically, I judge a book by its cover, to be honest.
Speaker 2:Well, we can certainly say that's a nice cover, like it's a beautiful-looking can, beautiful, beautiful.
Speaker 1:I've got my beer. I've got my beer. I've got my beer, I've got my uh fishing rod okay grab it.
Speaker 2:I've got my tackle, you got your tackle. Is it still a worm?
Speaker 1:it's uh. No, it's changed to a um fly, a fly.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, uh apply your fly Williams um so I've applied the fly.
Speaker 1:what do you? Yeah, apply your fly, williams. So I've applied the fly.
Speaker 2:What do you call a fly without wings? I don't know. What do you call a fly without wings?
Speaker 1:A walk Idiot, mr Fishpond, the feedback We've got. Mr Hodgkiss, I know we don't quite have the heavy heights of listeners as episode 7 season 1, but maybe we'll episode 7, season 2, who knows?
Speaker 2:with content where we debate beers and arcade machines for our kids. Who knows?
Speaker 1:I might need to edit this intro quite a lot, but anyways, we've got new listeners in Africa.
Speaker 2:Fulham, fulham Still not Africa.
Speaker 1:No listeners in Africa? No Africa, we'll take.
Speaker 2:Fulham, though we'll take Fulham.
Speaker 1:Fulham, milton Keynes, mk Dons, nice Milton Keynes. How would you explain Milton Keynes to anons nice Milton Keynes? How would you explain Milton Keynes to a American listener say Milton Keynes it's.
Speaker 2:It's a series of roundabouts and just it feels like a big housing estate with an icebox team and a football team that they stole from somewhere else. It's kind of like a big housing estate that's now a town of all of its own. Um, but, like I've always enjoyed going to mulling keynes, I think it's a nice place, but it's it's. It's just a bit different to, because it's more modern, isn't it? It's a newer kind of city new distance from barking.
Speaker 1:New distance from brampton, ontario, new distance from omaha, nebraska.
Speaker 2:Wow, Nebraska, that's awesome Where's.
Speaker 1:Nebraska, that's Nebraska.
Speaker 2:It's on the southern belt of America, isn't it?
Speaker 1:Is it? Yeah, I think it's there, Welcome. Welcome new listeners from Omaha.
Speaker 2:So yeah, that's. It's kind of not you know what. I'm completely wrong. What am I thinking of? Nebraska's Central America? It's like of not you know what. I'm completely wrong. What am I thinking of Nebraska's Central America? It's like Kansas and Colorado and Nebraska in the middle. I'm thinking of Nashville. I was getting it confused with Nashville. I was thinking of the music and yeah, Nebraska's Central. America.
Speaker 1:But again no listeners in Africa. We've got some messages. One message from an anonymous learner says quite humbling Sorry, anonymous.
Speaker 2:Anonymous listener Anonymous listener Anonymous.
Speaker 1:Anonymous Says, quite humbling to hear two dads being so hands-on with their kids.
Speaker 2:Oh well, you have to be, it's 2024, but thank you for the feedback.
Speaker 1:Top listener. Sue messages Din. Yes, sue, what a bot. One word, though One word.
Speaker 2:Uh-oh, a good word or a bad word.
Speaker 1:Really Question mark, question mark. Question mark.
Speaker 2:In reference to what do you think?
Speaker 1:Peeling a banana.
Speaker 2:Oh no, well, that's fair, that is absolutely fair, absolute, 100% fair. I would agree really.
Speaker 1:Yeah, um, and you let him marry your daughter, so yeah too late, too late, sorry um another listener messaging saying asking um have you ever tried?
Speaker 2:archery blindfolded you don't know what you're missing did you message in the show yourself alliums? Is that one you've sent in yourself?
Speaker 1:oh dear, um lovely, so should I attempt. I haven't really got a first.
Speaker 2:You haven't got a first, I've got some random firsts.
Speaker 1:I've got some random tiny firsts. If you want me to crack on to some of those You've got some random tiny firsts.
Speaker 2:That sounds good enough to me.
Speaker 1:So I had a first look at Fallout, the new series Fallout. Are we comparing the places on the video game.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's an American post-apocalyptic drama TV series I had a first look at fallout.
Speaker 1:The new series fallout Um, yes, it's a American post-apocalyptic drama TV series, uh, on Amazon prime and it's based on a um role playing video game. Do kids call them video games still? Yeah, yeah, just call it.
Speaker 2:I think let's refer to them as kind of the console I'm going to go and play. Of the console I'm gonna go and play a playstation, I'm gonna play playstation, or, yeah, xbox. I don't really say I'm playing a video game.
Speaker 1:I've not played any games for a while, but, um, it's based on the games and I thought it was quite good it had very good reviews it gets a I know I'm cheeky out of 10, or whatever my scoring system is.
Speaker 2:So what would you give it out of 10? It's very good.
Speaker 1:Out of 10? Oh, a good 8, I'd say.
Speaker 2:Enjoyable Funny yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, enjoyable, a few laughs. Good animation. Graphics yeah, good. Could have been better, but it was good.
Speaker 2:What would you have done to make it better, walliams oh? I don't know um if I was in charge, I'd have done this, that and the other don't know.
Speaker 1:Just a little bit more on the um, not the storyline, but just the, the depth of the characters. Yeah, there's a bit of mystery there, but I just feel like there could be a bit more, a bit more depth.
Speaker 2:But it was um, it was good it's interesting these days because, if you, if, because, if you remember back in the good old days I say the good old days there weren't Definitely cost a lot of money to make.
Speaker 1:You can tell, but a lot of TV shows do. Now They've got a massive budget, yeah.
Speaker 2:So when we were younger, any TV or movie based on a video game was generally guaranteed to be shit. So I think Street Fighter, tomb Raider no, I actually quite like the Tomb Raider films, to be fair Super Mario Brothers, mortal Kombat yeah, the original Super Mario Brothers they were all just a bit crap, whereas now it's kind of completely turned the corner. You've got things like Fallout, you've got the Last of Us. You know, and there's just a lot of good video game to TV.
Speaker 1:Well, the games tend to have loads of budget in the well, they have a lot of budget themselves, but budget on the storylines and things. So, rather than just when we were kids, it was collect as many coins as you can.
Speaker 2:I haven't got time to sink 60, 70 hours into a game like I used to have. It's like I play Tetris, because I've got 15 minutes until somebody needs me to do something.
Speaker 1:Yeah georgie gets. She gets annoyed at me because I get um future tired, future tired, future tired. I always get future tired, tell us about it well, future tired, so I don't get tired. I don't get tired because of what I've done in the day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I get tired because what's going to happen the next day what that's makes a lot of sense, though, you know, the next day you've got to get up and you've got to go to work and you've got to function like a human being, before anything's actually happened, though okay, so that's that. Yeah, that's preparation, that's psychological preparation, that you know that your responsibilities are important. Ergo, subconsciously, you're thinking I better make sure I get enough sleep. That's very wise, williams the wise, the, the no or no would be very proud of you there.
Speaker 1:That's thank you, that shows true awareness try it um other little first looks. We had a first look at. Charles Leclerc won the Monaco Grand Prix today.
Speaker 2:For any F1 watchers out, there, it was a big smash, wasn't there I saw? A meme of like a pan of Red Bull being crushed yeah, lap one Perez.
Speaker 1:Yeah, his car didn't look like a car anymore, like a crash car. We saw the first look at Drum roll, please.
Speaker 2:Who is the unified champion of the world? Williams.
Speaker 1:The champion of the world for those that only get their boxing news from a podcast is. I forget his first name. What's his first name? Alexander, alexander Usyk.
Speaker 2:Usyk, we are big fans. We forget the Unified Champions first name. Huge boxing fans here.
Speaker 1:Don't forget to click follow, like subscribe, to get all your boxing news from First Look Names.
Speaker 2:Keep up to date, somebody punked somebody in the face. It were great.
Speaker 1:But yeah, although I heard he's not anymore because some other challenger won the belts. Ah, yes Because they were mandatory, so they haven't had the fight, so he's lost it already so yes, so basically he's gonna get a short space of time he's gonna get.
Speaker 2:So there's four belts, they're off, even though there's only currently one undisputed heavyweight champion. He carries four belts for the four different associations the wbo, the wba and the wbc. The ibf are going to strip him of his belt because if it well, not necessarily If he fights the IBF mandatory challenger, which is going to be decided between a fight between Daniel Dubois and Hergovich, if memory serves correct, they get to fight for the IBF belt. So if Usyk was to fight one of those straight away, he wouldn't lose the belt, but then you can guarantee he'll lose one of the other belts because the WBC have their own mandatory challenger, the WBO have their own mandatory challenger the WBA have their own mandatory challenger.
Speaker 1:So trying to keep those belts, trying to keep which you can't fight constantly, can you Of?
Speaker 2:course you can't. No, you can't please everybody, and that's why Unified is such a big thing, because there's four different boards, all with their own heavyweight champion belt, and historically the WBC has been the most prestigious belt to own. The OBF has probably been the least prestigious belt to own, but it's still something. So the whole politics of it is a bit of a mess, but it was great to see the fight and it was a good fight as well I didn't watch it was enjoyable.
Speaker 2:You didn't watch it, no, I was. It was really good. It was very I've got future times, your future time. It didn't start, so it was quite late when it started. I must be honest it was it was approaching midnight by the time it all got going, um, but yeah, it was good and well done to our oozec. Fair play to him. First looks, craig. Yes, so I've got one that I'm going to tell you about, and then we can play a little game, walliams.
Speaker 1:To see which one we want to do.
Speaker 2:Now you've already done a. You may have already touched on one or two of them, but my main first look this week Is a first look at the new Girls Aloud tour. Oh, so you may already know I was going to talk about this because I think I sent you something I did, but I forgot. You'd forgotten, yeah.
Speaker 1:I did.
Speaker 2:So yes, ladies and gentlemen, the girl group Girls Aloud are on tour, and me and the good wife went to the SSC Arena in Belfast on Tuesday to watch them.
Speaker 1:It was so Girls Aloud, so I'll give you because obviously you have a lot of people, as you say in the likes of Nebraska listening now, who will not know who Girls Aloud are?
Speaker 2:So in the United Kingdom in the year, we'll take it back in time, williams. Back in time. The year is 2002. 2002, gosh, reality TV is in its absolute pomp and heyday. There are new reality TV series popping up all over the place. We had Pop Idol, which was the same as American Idol, and then there was there's a few other ones, wasn't there? There was Pop Stars. There was Pop Idol, which was the same as American Idol, and then there was a few other ones. Wasn't there? There was Pop Stars, there was Pop Idol. What was the house one? There was the House one. It's. The BBC did one. It had Lamar and it was like something house.
Speaker 1:Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 2:It was even before X Factor. So the year's 2002 and there's one of these music shows and it's called Popstars, but it's Popstars the Rivals. So Popstars had originally been there to create a band, a manufactured band, and the Rivals was going to create two bands a girl band and a boy band. Who was the boy band? They were called. It wasn't.
Speaker 1:JLS was it.
Speaker 2:No, it wasn't JLS. Oh, my goodness, there are people shouting at things now One True Voice, wasn't it? One True Voice? One True Voice. And they had a big thing. So they had the boy band and the girl band and they obviously thousands upon thousands.
Speaker 1:It was for the Christmas number one, isn't it?
Speaker 2:It was for the Christmas number one. Thousands upon thousands of people auditioned. They got to. They ended up with five people in each band. I remember Girls Aloud was full of controversy because some people didn't want Nicola in the band, and blah, blah, blah. But it came down to the two bands. Then they both released their first single at the same time to see who would win, and Girls Aloud won. So Girls Aloud released the sound of the underground, which got to number one. One true voices first single got to number two. Girls allowed went on to be massively popular. One true voice disappeared into the charity single bin where you could buy a single for 50p, but Girls Aloud were.
Speaker 2:So they're a manufactured TV band, but they did fantastically well. So I've got some facts for you here. Walliams, I am a fan. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I think they are pop perfection. They've just celebrated their 22 years, they've got back together and they're doing a tour again. So would you hear this, walliams? Between 2002 and I think it was 2013, they had 21 hit singles. They had five albums. Two compilation albums sold over 4.3 million records. They have famous fans, including Bono, chris Martin, alex Turner and, of course, the First Look Nerms. They're just a group of pop perfection. So five quite normal ladies making good pop music.
Speaker 2:Unfortunately, a couple of years ago one of the members actually passed away through. She wasn't well and she passed away, um, so this tour has been about remembering her and kind of celebrating her and I've always liked them. So it was one of those gigs where I said to the wife I was like is it a bit embarrassing? And we're like yeah, it probably is, but it's playing in an arena and we always like we like going to gigs. But generally we'd go to gigs which band or someone, kind of you know a nostalgia, like we've been seeing Lana Ritchie and stuff and Billy Joel, but usually we go and see bands like the Kill or arctic monkeys, so like it's a pop concert. And I was trying to think I can't remember the last time I actually went to a pop concert. So we we bought the tickets. Tickets were very reasonably priced and we thought, yep, let's top on down. It's only a mile away from where we live. Let's total on down. Girls allowed, they did, they played all the hits. Obviously they did some really nice kind of in memory of Sarah Harding bits and we just had a lovely night. It was great. So they're on tour now around the whole of the UK.
Speaker 2:So anyone listening to this who's thinking you know what, should I go? It's just fun. The stages were good, the whole costume changes were good. They can sing quite well because I mean they all got picked because they could sing and dance are good. They can still quite. They can sing quite well because I mean they all got picked because they could sing and dance. I mean they're not. They're not gonna. You know, test uh, winnie houston in terms of the vocal ability, but no great pop music. So if you've never heard of them, check them out.
Speaker 2:Called girls allowed and if you're in the uk to america to do no no it's a UK thing, just a UK thing, but if you like good pop music.
Speaker 1:Just a quick look at One Tree Voice.
Speaker 2:Oh, what's happened to them then?
Speaker 1:Where are they now? And I couldn't see much but one of them, keith Semple, who's from Northern Ireland. He's been in several bands. Since One Tree Voice split. He moved to Chicago Wow. He landed the spot as seventh heaven's front man, um, and then later in 2010, he auditioned for American Idol, but he didn't get very far. Simon Cowell didn't like him, okay, um. He appeared on the U S version of the voice, um, but again, again, he was eliminated. Yeah.
Speaker 2:You've got to give it up on that, haven't you? I'd never give up on these games, I guess.
Speaker 1:Jamie Shaw. In 2006 he supported Backstreet Boys On tour Very good, and that's it. The other ones have just Gone and got normal jobs.
Speaker 2:Probably they'll always have pop stars, as I was in 2002, and they'll always know that they weren't quite as good as Girls Aloud. Girls Aloud are amazing. Go and see Girls Aloud.
Speaker 1:I wonder how they feel hearing Girls Aloud on the radio and the new tour there's probably an element of bitterness, I would imagine. Tips for dads. Tips for dads. Tips for dads. Tips for dads Get your tips out for the dads.
Speaker 2:So we have. I've got three tips here for dads. Have you got any tips for dads? I haven't got any tips. You've got no tips for dads? I do. Actually I haven't got any tips.
Speaker 1:You've got no tips for the day. I do actually, I've got be future tired.
Speaker 2:Be future tired, be future tired. So it's almost like be prepared, isn't it? Be prepared for work and life and resilience.
Speaker 1:Be future tired. Get enough sleep. Yeah, get your tired of the way early, before it actually happens, okay.
Speaker 2:Well, I've got a tip for lazy dads, lazy dads who kind of want to be in there. So this is terrible advice. Actually, this is a terrible tip for them.
Speaker 1:Oh, I've just thought of one actually Go on.
Speaker 2:Oh, go on, Go ahead then.
Speaker 1:I saw this thing on one of the socials If you're sat down, you've got your beer and all that. And you've got your beer and all that and you've got your little toddler crawling around but your remote control is just out of arm's reach. You can't really get to it. You just pick up your toddler that's next to you and you move him across and the toddler grabs the remote control and you pull back when you've got the remote control.
Speaker 2:That would be good that still seems like a lot of effort. You know the rubbish. It does say it's getting up, though, doesn't it? It does say it's getting up. No, absolutely. But as you're getting older you've got to be careful of your back If you lean across and you hold the weight of your toddler and you've got to support him you could just could activate the voice control on your telly. Most of these modern TVs, these- days and say oi telly oi telly quick turn off that channel.
Speaker 2:She's coming down the stairs. Turn it off quick. Alexa, alexa don't pause and zoom Alexa, okay. So either use your child or you, and use your TV's voice command with caution.
Speaker 2:Another good tip of that would be don't watch dodgy channels. When you're a husband, loving father, all those kind of things as well. If they're on your TV, they shouldn't be Be better people. Okay, I've got a couple here then. The first one is about so we have experienced my child is a bit older and it's lovely but also they talk such nonsense.
Speaker 2:So this tip is called Master, the Art of Selective Hearing. So this is about kids who want to talk to you all the time. So brain would be like dad, I want to show you. Brain wants to show you everything and get you involved in everything. So Braden will do a sneeze. He wants to show you a sneeze. He will make a noise. Dad, I want to show you this noise. Every single picture he draws. He has to present it to you.
Speaker 2:Now, this is fine, but sometimes he will do 78 pictures in a day and every, every thought has to be explained to you. So this is, this is about noises that you have to make as a dad, noises you have to perfect as a dad because you do not want to break the young child's spirit. Of course you want to be an interested dad, but also you've got one eye on the um, the, the playoff final, and you're trying to decide ali's gonna get back into this um or not. But you still. You can't just kind of dismiss your child, so you have to. These are the noises I would suggest for dads dads Noises to make.
Speaker 2:Ooh, you've got to prevent that. Ooh, ooh and that ooh, that's good, ooh, ooh. My favourite of all, the tips to master as voices show your mother, show your mother.
Speaker 1:That's a good one, yeah.
Speaker 2:Show your mother and your mum's in the kitchen. She'd like to see that. Ooh, show your mother and your mum's in the kitchen. She'd like to see that. Another one if your mum's not in the house.
Speaker 1:another one do you want?
Speaker 2:to FaceTime grandma. Do you want to FaceTime grandma? Grandma, grandma would love to see that here.
Speaker 1:Take, why have you got a? Have you got a portal? Oh no, you're watching something on the TV already.
Speaker 2:If you're already yeah, if you're already watching the Southampton needs match, you've got to. You know, just you know, selective hearing Not to dismiss your child, but also 76 pictures of a Minecraft zombie is just too much.
Speaker 2:I've got one final tip for dads. So I'm sure many dads listening to this will appreciate Trying to get people out of the house. It's difficult. So before I was married I was never late. I was always generally on time. But now it's very hard.
Speaker 2:So I have mastered the art of the countdown timer.
Speaker 2:So if you need to leave the house at 2 o'clock, at 20 to 2, you'd better be laying down the law saying we are going in seven minutes, we are going in six minutes, five minutes, and make it early because you know it's never going to be on time.
Speaker 2:So if you need to leave at 2, you need to tell them we've got to leave at 10 to 2. They can guarantee they'll not be ready at 10 to 2, so you've got that little bit of time. So at 10 to 2, so you've got that little bit of time. So at 20 to 2 you need to be telling them you've got 7 minutes left, because inevitably so with ours it seems to be as soon as you're ready to go somebody needs to do a wee, or they need to collect a toy, or they want to bring something to show somebody else or something, or the dog will do a poo on the floor that you've got to kick off, else or something. Or the dog will do a poo on the floor that you've got to kick off, or just something will happen. So, time management, master the countdown timer and always leave 10 minutes. That's pretty much it.
Speaker 1:Who needs to know when you've got tips for dads?
Speaker 2:Well, this is dad experience. They know what we're doing full of wisdom. We're just full of practical tips for dad, good tips lovely tips, lovely tips any more. First looks again.
Speaker 1:Just some, just little ones. Why do you know? This one's quite a big one, not a big one, but um we had uh, um. So in my, in my little town, a friend of ours actually said um was mentioned at a conference.
Speaker 2:They went to actually said was mentioned at a conference. They went to Outrageous, outrageous, right right.
Speaker 1:I'm surprised you didn't snap, you were very but for some reason it was a conference of solicitors, which is a random conference to go to, but they weren't very nice about my town.
Speaker 2:Anyways, they're obviously everything it's a lovely place.
Speaker 1:But you know, I've obviously been away, but I've lived here most of my life and I know most, most corners of my, my town. Um, but, um, we, we had a picnic in a random field, um, when our car broke down, so it broke down on the bypass. I've passed this field god knows how many times since I was a wee, a wee young lad um to to present day, I've actually had my first look of in that field having a picnic. Um, because, um, yeah, the car broke down so we, uh, we had to obviously pull over and wait for the old rac man and, um, yeah, we sat in this random field that I've passed a million times but never had a look at and had a first look at. So, and a little bit panicky when you've got a one-year-old and you're sat in a field wondering when the snacks are right now, but we survived to tell the tale. So, yeah, just a quick little first look of a random field.
Speaker 2:I mean, two things spring to mind there, walt. One, how lovely to turn that to show that resilience. And we may get on to some resilience in a bit. But show that resilience saying you know what? The car's broken down. We're going to make the best of a bad situation, have a little bit.
Speaker 1:It was, the sun was shining, we had some snacks.
Speaker 2:Excellent resilience.
Speaker 1:And one-year-olds love pebbles, those pebbles and stones and dirt, and they love picking up stones and rocks and moving it and dropping it and then moving it and dropping it. So he had loads of fun.
Speaker 2:Um but um kids don't need much. Do they?
Speaker 1:they don't actually they don't, really really don't all these presents kids get, but actually a bit of dirt, some rocks, water. He loves water. Yeah, that's all you need. So that was a little first look at a random field I've never been to it's just a random field.
Speaker 2:that's like. The story's so much more than the random field, though, walliams, like you can't nobody it's just a random field. The story's so much more than the random field, though, williams, you haven't even got the name of this field or anything, but that's not the story, I don't even know.
Speaker 1:That's the mystery of it, that's the mystery of it, mystery field. I bet near you there's a field that you walk by every day and you've never sat there. Actually, I've sat there and had a picnic.
Speaker 2:Have you there's out there and a picnic have you? There's probably more than one.
Speaker 1:You should do that tomorrow, bank holiday monday, you're not working. Go out, find a field, have a picnic I will do that while I'm, I will actually don't because we had an excuse of a broken down car, as you'll just be trespassing, so don't do that. Another tip for dan.
Speaker 2:What are you doing in my land?
Speaker 1:they're mine yeah, so don't do that. That's a non tip for dads. And then also because just a little first look. We're going to first look at potentially a new Lord of the Rings film, the Hunt for Gollum 2026, apparently it's going to be. Gannar have made a brief comment about hunting for Gollum between the year of X and Y. Um, there's gonna hold film about that.
Speaker 2:Very good, so we shall see uh yeah, they can't let franchises just lie now can they? They have to milk them for everything they're worth any kind of intellectual property. It's just like yeah, okay, somebody once mentioned something, let's now make a film out of that. And how long can we stretch this for?
Speaker 1:and of course, big cash cow it is, we're lord of the rings fans yeah, and we went to to see him at uni, didn't we?
Speaker 2:I remember one day we had a Lord of the Rings day where we had a settee of seven mattresses. So that's exciting. If you're a Lord of the Rings fan, that's going to be great. Got him old.
Speaker 1:What's he called Andy Serkis?
Speaker 2:Yes, andy Serkis yeah, he's doing it again.
Speaker 1:I presume Gandalf would need to be involved, but I don't know how old he is now.
Speaker 2:No, it could be, Ian Kellan no, I suppose with de-aging it could be, but it could be in his 70s or 80s he might not want to do it no. Andy Serkis is directing it, though, isn't he as well, is he? I think so.
Speaker 1:I could be wrong, I may be remembering that wrong, but no, it's all right. So yeah, no, first looks, apart from a random field and a film that's not out yet.
Speaker 2:Well, it could be worse. He could have intended talking to us about peeling more fruit, which would and this week I've peeled a potato. A potato that you stole from a field, but it was a lovely field and it had a lovely time and a lovely picnic.
Speaker 1:What's your first step?
Speaker 2:So okay, In a similar way to you. I'm going to give you a roulette while he acts. It feels like a long time since you've done this and there's been a few good things. What?
Speaker 1:Russian roulette. We've never played Russian roulette.
Speaker 2:Not Russian roulette, just roulette. So I'm going to spin the wheel, so I'm sure we can insert some kind of clicky-click-click-click-click-click-click-click sound and you've got a choice basically, oh no, the three of us did play Russian roulette, didn't we? Well, didn't we?
Speaker 1:It's a bad joke, bad joke. The three of us played Russian roulette.
Speaker 2:Okay, I beg your pardon, Sorry. Yes, I'm sorry, I'm slowing the uptake there. Very good, though. Very, yes, very clever. Well, this one is just roulette and you can pick. You get to pick which of these first looks. We look at. So, spin the wheel Ready. Your options are the FA Cup Final 2024, luke Littler and his Premier League, dart Fury versus Usec and slash Taylor versus Catterall, but we've already touched on that one, so maybe we don't have that.
Speaker 2:The England squad announcement for Euro 2024. Chat GPT 4-0. The Chelsea flower show. And, getting political, the upcoming general election in the European Kingdom. So spin the wheel. Which of these would you like to talk about?
Speaker 1:That's not a random Spin the wheel, though is it If I choose? Well, yeah, yeah it's true, spin the wheel, but stop it where you want to.
Speaker 2:FA Cup Luke Littler, England. So not the, Not the boxing, because we spoke about that already. Fa Cup Luke Littler England, ChatGPT.
Speaker 1:Not the boxing, because we spoke about that already.
Speaker 2:I'd say not chat with B4Zero, as brilliant as it is. We do a lot of AI chat.
Speaker 2:So, let's go for Luke Littler. Luke Littler, okay, so Luke the Nuke Littler. So, for those who do not know, or those who do not watch darts in 2023, 2024, the world championships, he came in. It was 150 to one shot. He was a 16 year old kid, but he had won the world juniors, so he got a wild card entry and he went all the way to the final of the world championship. He was phenomenal, he was whipping people and he went all the way to the final of the world championship. He was phenomenal, he was whipping people and, uh, he was living up to the hype, shall we say, but he came second. He came second to a guy called luke humphries, um, but because he soared in popularity and he became the talking story, or the person everyone was talking about in darts, he got a wild card buy-in to the premier league of darts which is included now, everyone expected him like no, he's 17, he's not going to do much, he's just there because he did so well at the world.
Speaker 2:Not only did he top the league, but then, when it came to the finals night, he won the bloody thing. Not only did he win it, but he also threw a nine data in the final and made it look so easy. The week before he did an amazing thing where he hit three treble at three double 20s as a checkout to get 120 checkout. And he's just playing with such confidence and the he's a bit. He's a proper sensation. Um, and like he's uh, he's 17, he looks, if you ever listen to this I don't mean this to sound offensive, but he looks a lot older than 17. He looks more like a 30, 40 year old man. He's got the physique of a man, uh, he's got like he's got a full beard, like not many 17 year olds have a beard, uh, and he's got a rec beard, like not many 17-year-olds have a beard, and he's got a receding hairline and he played like Because the World Championships he'll still be 17.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he'll still be 17 this year at the World Championship Unbelievable. He'll be favourite to win a load of things now. Yeah, but it's so incredible to think how darts has progressed from this pub sport to this. You know fine art of a game, effectively. I mean, we're talking the prize money is so to win the world it's half a million pounds. And then there's tournaments all through the year and he's playing with. This young kid has come on on the scene. It's just what darts needed. So I have a friend in Canada who's convinced this has all been a setup because darts was getting stale and they needed a new character to come and take them.
Speaker 1:But how can you set up someone he thinks there's magnets in the boards.
Speaker 2:Now, I love this guy, but he's a Donald Trump supporter and conspiracies you know conspiracies are the magnets away Every time the next player comes around who knows, who knows how it actually works.
Speaker 2:But I'm not sure if he's just being facetious or genuine. Believes that. There's part of me thinks he probably believes it. But the, the, the quality of darts has been playing and how much excitement is brought to the sport slash game. It's just brilliant to watch so a 17 year old playing that well, winning the premier league, beating the likes of van gerwin, michael smith and, you know, luke humphries, the world championship champion.
Speaker 1:To win it is the next the next fool of the power trainer well, I hope so well.
Speaker 2:So this is what concerned me. No, this is just because I'm getting older, but if you're 17, so he won, I want to say it was. It was over a quarter of a million for winning the premier league. So you're a 17 year old kid, you're giving a check for a quarter of a million or 270 000, whatever it was. How do you keep your feet on the ground?
Speaker 1:well, you know, that's my next question. Is he? Because I've seen a couple bits of footage and it doesn't seem to have gone to his head a little bit.
Speaker 2:Oh would they, wouldn't it Like it's impossible. You've got 30,000 people in arenas. You know chanting your name.
Speaker 2:You're beating everybody and you're getting given unbelievable amounts of money, like he's been playing FIFA with Wayne Rooney. You know he's been playing fifa with wayne rooney. You know he's gone. Six months ago he was unknown to effectively being a you know in the uk, a superstar that everybody wants to have on tv. And again he's not. He's not kind of, he's not trained. So you know, you see, these people who are kind of media, trained and from a young age.
Speaker 1:Let's take Mr Hodgkiss back to here we go. No time machine, mr Hodgkiss, 17 year old. Mr Hodgkiss, no, 16 year old Mr Hodgkiss, master Hodgkiss, not even Mr Hodgkiss. Master Hodgkiss, 16 year from dark skills. Yeah right, you've got the skills a little bit there. Boom, how are you? How are you reacting?
Speaker 2:to this, this new skills you've got not well, not winning the money not not well at all.
Speaker 2:So make it. When you're that age. You are not mature enough to make proper decisions, so you're relying on the people around you. Now, very lucky, I had good parents and stuff, so I would have had some good guidance. But if it was left up to me, I'd be. I'd be doing all kinds of nonsense, spending on all kinds of things, having absolutely no idea about fiscal responsibility or how to manage money. And you know, all of a sudden you can have anything you want, so you can eat where you want, you can go where you want, you can fly to places where you want. Um, I'd handle it very badly, so I'm hoping he's got some good I can see you in that bit.
Speaker 1:I think I was at home alone. But you got that, you just get that limo and you just you're out the top, the top of the roof of the limo. You're just like chucking money around you, would you just? Wouldn't know how to handle it.
Speaker 2:It feels so weird, but obviously as well. You've got to then keep performing, to keep winning. You've got to keep practicing and performing. So you know it's tough, it's going to be hard on him, but I think darts is one of those things where the people are quite genuine and quite real. You've got the likes of, obviously, barry Hearn runs it. He's no mug. He'll want to protect you, like he'll see luke littler as a bit of an asset, as a way to get better pay for all the other players.
Speaker 1:So he'll protect him he's getting a lot of stories. I'm gonna say because he's got his um, his girlfriend, but there's a lot of stories the bad press he's getting about that isn't there yeah she's older and yeah, but I mean again like I couldn't imagine social media when I was a kid, but he is a kid, he's a social media that he must be getting, must be yeah yeah, it'd be awful.
Speaker 2:Hopefully they'll just ban him from that, but they'll be. That's, that is the problem with human beings. There's going to be a lot of people out there who are trying to kind of monetize his name and will want to ruin him. Not because they want to necessarily ruin him, because they want to line their own pockets. So hopefully you get good protection and all that kind of stuff. Hopefully the, the pdc and the herns who look after it will make sure that he has the best kind of support, the best advice, because we all want to see him play. Well, nobody this this whole thing with this country. So again for american listeners, the uk like to do this thing where we build people up and we love to build them up, but we we love nothing more than tearing somebody down because then it makes headlines because then it makes the headlines the press in this country are vile, satan worshiping assholes.
Speaker 2:they are awful, awful people. Not all of that's a very general association, but a lot of the kind of tabloid media would piss on your granny if it may, Talking of grannies, remember Wayne Rooney.
Speaker 1:You know he was 16, 17, 18. He was scoring goals and he was like the England hero. And then all these stories about him and grannies was coming out. Yeah, he had a dally. That was before social media, that was just in the newspapers.
Speaker 2:It's just awful that we just love to tear people down and embarrass people. If you're in the public eye here, your private life is not private, you will get people go hunting for negative stuff.
Speaker 1:So let's Thirsty first, thirsty first, people go.
Speaker 2:People are hunting for negative stuff, so let's hope Luke Glittler is okay.
Speaker 1:Quick thirsty first break.
Speaker 2:Okay, what have you got this time?
Speaker 1:I've got a thirsty, we've got a Aoraki a vocation special edition Aoraki Double IPA Hazy, fruity hoppy. And 8% again, oh dear double IPA. Shiny, silvery can of a mountain in the background. It's a hazy, fruity hoppy. It's got Japanese on it again, bloody Japanese beers.
Speaker 2:Williams, where are you buying these from?
Speaker 1:and it says mochiwaka Raku Anwayati. There we go, reach dizzying heights at the peak of Airaki with this fruity mix of fresh and juicy New Zealand hops.
Speaker 2:Well, there you go.
Speaker 1:Full to the brim with flavours of tropical and stone fruits and soft bitterness on the finish.
Speaker 2:And are we thinking this is better than the last one?
Speaker 1:Hopefully, hopefully. I don't understand how these beers, these beers tend to get inspiration. They say from different things, but does it actually translate.
Speaker 2:No, it's a Google search, Williams. They're just trying to do something different all the time.
Speaker 1:It tastes exactly the same as the other one. So this, this mountain, whatever it's called, tropical stone fruits, the heights of the peak mountain, iraqi, tastes the same as an arcade machine.
Speaker 2:So I don't know how that works who knows, maybe we've got covid and everything just tastes and smells the same. Um one of them's. I need to. I'm just gonna nip out for a minute um.
Speaker 1:I hope nobody. I'm just gonna nip out and uh you feeling alright?
Speaker 2:I'm feeling like, oh, I'm actually like a bit of a dodgy tummy but uh, I'm just gonna nip out, but um your tummy. I'm going to make a mistake out. Oh, hang on, that's good timing. There's somebody else here.
Speaker 1:Oh, who could it be? Who could it be? Who could it be? Hey, it's the no. Oh, no, hello Daniel, how are you today? Oh, very good. Actually, I've got a question for you. Actually, I forgot to mention a listener wrote in.
Speaker 2:I wish you'd told me before so I could have had an answer.
Speaker 1:But that's ok. The listener said would a wise old gnome prefer a picnic or chips for Father's Day? Asking for a very small friend well, I would say.
Speaker 2:A lot of the time, dads think they have to say the right answer, which is a picnic, but the honest answer is chips. Both dads are honest with themselves and I would recommend every father to be honest with themselves. A picnic sounds like a lovely idea, but also sounds like a lot of work. Buy the father a portion of chips, let him have an hour of peace watching Doctor who Chips, get him a can of beer, and that is probably genuinely the best present a father could have. The family time is lovely, but we have that every day. What we actually want is peace and quiet.
Speaker 2:Some chips Not too many chips, though Not too many. And quiet. Some chips not too many chips, though not too many chips not too many chips, just a normal average portion with salt and vinegar and a chipotle mayonnaise sauce. Um and peace and quiet. That's. That's generally the way to make a dad happy and they will be grateful and appreciated forever. The picnic sounds like a lovely idea, but in reality, a dad's just thinking that's going to be hard work and I just want a break. Chips, chips is the winner.
Speaker 1:Chips is the winner, and did you have any other questions?
Speaker 2:I have no questions today but, I thought, while I have fun.
Speaker 1:You're a man of answers, you're a gnome of answers, not questions.
Speaker 2:I just thought I've been recently. I've been hanging around with some friends and I thought I'd come here and talk to you about my experience and impart some wisdom on your listeners. Lovely, I'll tell you a little story then.
Speaker 2:So just this Friday part, he had a dodgy tummy too many juts he's probably, I'd imagine we've got at least four and a half minutes until he comes back. So on Friday I was in the local ale house one of the local establishment with a couple of chomps Lovely and as we sipped on our mead, the conversation led us down a road Mead I want to eat mead.
Speaker 2:Oh, it was lovely, mead. Two of my companions started to recall Some rather tough events in their lives. Listening to them talk, it was clear how these events have helped shape them into the people they are today. Now, sir Wise, old Nime, I realize that we all have moments in our life where we are challenged or we question the things around us. The way we navigate these tricky waters is individual to us, but I noticed in both of my friends they had shown incredible resilience to get through much like something I overheard you and craig talking about earlier resilience turning a bad opportunity like breaking down into a positive thing, where you go into a field and spend some time with your wife and your child. So today I want to talk to our lovely listeners, many of whom are going through their own challenges, about resilience.
Speaker 2:Resilience, you know, dan, it's more than just bouncing back from tough times. It's about facing challenges head-on and emerging stronger than before. Think of the mighty oak tree weathering the storms and standing tall that is resilience in action. But resilience isn't just for trees, dan, it's quality we can all. Weathering the storms and standing tall, that is resilience in action. But resilience isn't just for trees, dan. It's quality we can all cultivate. In history, people like Rosa Parks or Viktor Frankl teach us that resilience isn't about avoiding adversity, but about embracing it as an opportunity for growth. So how can we build resilience in our own lives? Remember, it's not about being invincible. None of us can avoid trials and tribulations of life forever. You sound like Winston.
Speaker 1:Churchill.
Speaker 2:It is about coping with the stresses and adversities that come your way. So here are some tips from my alehouse chums and you and I might want to try. If you're going through tough times right now. These are all from the pub on friday talk with your friends. Past tips, pub tips from the know, it all know. Talk with your friends. A supportive and caring ear can make all the difference. Celebrate the little wins, dan. Acknowledge your, no matter how big or small. Express your emotions, especially you men. Allow yourself to feel It'll do you good and when it's tough, seek out the help of specialists. There are people out there who can guide you through even the toughest times. If you're going through something hard right now, we send you our love. Remember you've always got friends here at First Look, gnomes, the resilience. My friends who I spoke to the other day inspired me to talk about this today. And if anybody out there needs some help, reach out to somebody. It's always there. Be resilient, keep going forward.
Speaker 1:Don't reach out to the first. At Nome's Reach out to other.
Speaker 2:Can you not go on their website?
Speaker 1:Can you go on their website?
Speaker 2:I don't know, has he finished it yet? You don't know? No, no, well, he said he was going to finish it about six months ago.
Speaker 1:Has he not done that yet? No, he hasn't. I don't think so.
Speaker 2:I'm not checked, actually well, I'm gonna go downstairs now. I'm gonna knock on the door and see if he's finished his poo.
Speaker 1:Yes, please do goodbye everybody thank you now, and I'm inspirational as always hello, hello you, he mainly.
Speaker 2:I was doing a poo and he just banged in the door.
Speaker 1:Banged in the door, he was that's like bloody hell there's nothing worse is there when you're trying to have a poo, trying to have a poo, and just this bloody gnome is knocking the door.
Speaker 2:You need to relax, don't you? Well, hopefully he didn't just wait, he did, he did. But he did mention the website. I've not finished the website yet. I mean, you probably have to start doing it to finish it, I guess. But you know one day, one day, one day, one day one day before the end of season two, which probably might actually happen, because season two is probably coming to an end soon we're in May.
Speaker 1:Well, we're over halfway, at least. Okie dokie.
Speaker 2:It'll happen at some point. There was a cliffhanger. Last time actually Was there. I don't know if it was last time, it was last one or the one before we talked about did I get a house? Did we? We put a bid in on a house.
Speaker 1:It wasn't actually a cliffhanger. Yes, have Did we put a bid in on a house? Yes, so have we got a first look at a house coming up.
Speaker 2:We think we have a first look at a house coming up. Yeah, assuming it all goes through, okay, yay, well, that's something to look forward to, williams.
Speaker 1:Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed.
Speaker 2:So for season three I may be in a new location. It'll be the third location Before season three. Unbelievable Before season three, I'd hope. Well, you just never know, do you? You never know? You never know people all cross-listen about it.
Speaker 1:What's going on for the next month? What's the what we've got?
Speaker 2:first looks at so euros you're the big one we should probably do a euro special where we just talk about euro special. I think so. So it starts in has the squad been selected yet.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, we literally did a roulette where one of the options was the england. That was an option to talk about the england squad selection. But yes, they have. They have named the provisional 30 and they have to cut it down to 26, I think it's. It's like it's either 33 down to 28 or something like that. But yes, the England squad is out, the Scotland squad is out and the tournament itself starts in less than three weeks in Germany. So that's going to be good and, as the know-it-all gnome said in the last episode, it is coming home. It's coming home, let's hope.
Speaker 1:He knows it all. He does know it all. If we don't take it home, I'll have doubts that he does.
Speaker 2:Well, I tell you, if Gareth Southgate needs some tips, the know-it-all gnome is who we should speak to.
Speaker 1:Well, I know if he wants tips, it's Tips for Dads.
Speaker 2:Oh, tips for Dads too. Yeah, tips for Dads. Do you play Foden Kane, bellingham, or how do you organise that front quartet you? Get Harland he's not English, though, mate, we can't do that. No, he is. He is apparently don't be daft, he can't play. He's played for Norway, doesn't he?
Speaker 1:no, yeah, well, yeah, but he could have not. Is Harland English? Is Harland English? He was born in England. Unbelievable. There you go. He was born in England.
Speaker 2:I wonder. I'm sure if he was, we've probably inquired. To be honest, I'd rather kind of have Virgil van Dijk be English, but anyway we're getting into. We should do a special about this one where we talk about football a special, a Euro special but I think, as for now. So tune in, we talk about football.
