Speaker 1 0:02

10. Haag says man United's ambition is to win the Premier League, claiming they have only been second best to rival Manchester City since his arrival in 2022. First look at the Premier League season woo, woo, woo. The penultimate episode. Episode 10 how is this the penultimate?

Speaker 2 0:23

episode. Are we having a break after the next one? We are the penultimate episode, episode 10. How is this the penultimate episode? Are we having a break after the next one?

Speaker 1 0:27

we are.

Speaker 2 0:29

I watched 10 hard Manchester United today and they lost second to man City. Do you agree, he's?

Speaker 1 0:37

only been second to man.

Speaker 2 0:38

City. Oh, they were second to Brighton today, so you know he's entitled to his opinion, I'm not going to argue with him.

Speaker 1 0:46

He is. He is, yes, so welcome to First Look Names the podcast where we take a first look at something, review something, hot off the press. First look stuff, such as last episode we looked at Google Mike's Edge.

Speaker 2 1:06

Only 12 years old or something like that. Which?

Speaker 1 1:07

launched in 2012. There you go. We are like Tomorrow's World.

Speaker 2 1:14

Is that still going? I do not think Tomorrow's World is still going, apart from in nostalgia channels.

Speaker 1 1:24

Yeah, which is ironic, because that's uh tomorrow's world today.

Speaker 2 1:28

Wouldn't it be good to go back and see what they did on tomorrow's world and see how many of the ideas actually came to fruition?

Speaker 1 1:35

yeah, bit of a reference for millennials. I think, yeah, I'm trying to think of something I can't remember, but, um, yeah, it was always weird and wonderful stuff, wasn't it?

Speaker 2 1:43

it was always things. It was always things that looked very space age but in that kind of 80s space age where everything was chrome and all almost looked a bit like a like a spaceship. The future was always going to be very shiny and reflective and metallic, and metallic, yeah, but a good blast from the past, that one.

Speaker 1 2:06

There you go. Let's go straight down to the Fishbone of Feedback shall we?

Speaker 2 2:10

I'm game. If you are yeah, is your tackle out? My tackle is out, yes.

Speaker 1 2:16

Well, grab it and let's go to the Fishbone of Feedback. Ow, Thank you. One listener has written in wrote in in. Written in, where the correct grammar is did you claim your taxes back from culture day?

Speaker 2 2:33

oh I, you know what I haven't? I still haven't there's part of me which is kind of like there's part of me which is like I kind of don't want to because I feel like I'm taking money away from the school. Then now I know it was kind of it was it was all part of the tesco um tesco initiative, so it was. It was kind of grant funded, effectively tesco. But I'm like, well, that 50 pounds is money that could be used for new sponge footballs or pink custard, whatever the school needs.

Speaker 2 3:02

So um consider a donation maybe so I might just it might just kind of I might just forget about it, and it goes to the, it goes somewhere, goes towards the next one um, another user and this and this blew my mind a bit like the.

Speaker 1 3:16

It's me mario on the, uh, on the last episode, um, but this shouldn't blow your mind, because I know how much of a fan you are, mr Archie Is it about Jeff and Gladiators. And I thought I was as well so today, as I had a first look at a realisation that Blink-182's what's my Age? Again, the lyrics are not. I walk alone.

Speaker 2 3:53

It's I walk alone. It's, I walk alone. I walk alone like aftershave. Yes, yeah, I did not know that. I. How did you not know that?

Speaker 1 3:57

I did not know that I walk alone yeah, but I don't actually like listen to the words so okay, so think, think about, think about the, the whole.

Speaker 2 4:08

Yes, I took her out, it was a friday night I walk alone to get the feeling right?

Speaker 1 4:13

yeah, but I've always heard I walk alone oh dear oh, that's funny, I walk alone.

Speaker 2 4:22

I suppose it's because we like if it was I wore aftershave, it would make more sense to us being british, rather than because we don't use the word cologne. Do we?

Speaker 1 4:30

no, we don't. No, I walk alone I'm all alone.

Speaker 2 4:34

Yeah, randomly, we watched blink wait to it reading and leads last night. So, yeah, I was home late from work and we were like um, because they're playing belfast on monday and there were tickets available. So, last night, randomly this is just weird how the universe works I text the wife and said there are tickets available on resale sites. Would you want to go on monday? It's a good excuse to see travis barker. However, something goes back to school on tuesday and it's very expensive. It's a school night, um. And then we got home and we put red and leads on and blink 182. We're headlining to watch the 182 set, which meant I didn't feel like I needed to go and see it live, but it was a good, it was a good throwback. However, I was a bit disappointed by them. They, they are. So this is a complete tangent.

Speaker 2 5:25

This may or may get, not get, uh, make the final podcast, but how do you feel about blink 182? They're now in their 50s. They're all like around the 50 year old, yeah, and as you grow older. So how I felt when I was 16, 17, how I talked, how I acted, is not how I would act and talk now. So being a waitress on stage, but they are. Obviously the songs are still the same, but in between songs they're still talking like they talked when they were like 20. Like, oh, I did stuff to your mom and you know who's here to get fingered and random. You know stuff like that I'm like, and a bit of it's like yeah, I get it, you're in a soldier act.

Speaker 2 6:12

Now, yeah, because you know, everyone in the crowd was about 18. So like when bling away 2 first came out, all of those people would have still just been figments of their parents imagination. But the interaction with the crowd was like. I was like are you? You're all 50, why are you talking to them about fingering, about doing stuff to have moms? And I was like. I was like when they're off stage and they're taught like that, and leslie ann said it's because it's like if they're on stage persona, they kind of you know, when they go off stage they're probably just quite normal blokes, but then on stage, like yeah, we're bling way too. We're so punk. That's the character. So it was interesting. I was like, yeah, I don't know if I could play myself, as you know, like I was when I was 18.

Speaker 1 6:52

One of the best drum sellers I've ever seen it was.

Speaker 2 6:56

Do you remember? Do you remember the um, the first one that we missed?

Speaker 1 7:00

we're meant to go and see them.

Speaker 2 7:01

So we went to see bling wait two, but we were meant to go and see them. So we went to see Blink-182, but we were meant to go and see them before that, a year earlier.

Speaker 1 7:08

And we missed it.

Speaker 2 7:08

Do you know why?

Speaker 1 7:10

No.

Speaker 2 7:10

I had cellulitis, do you not remember?

Speaker 1 7:12

Oh.

Speaker 2 7:14

We had tickets to go and see Blink-182, and then I ended up in hospital for a week and we didn't go. I remember saying to you did you go? And you're like nah, can't be bothered. I was like you should have gone. So we went a year later because we came back and we were here again. It was a great drum set.

Speaker 1 7:33

I like was that the one or was that something else? You went to where we went out, had a few beers, as you do at university, and then didn't you write yourself a note for you to, when you woke up the next morning, saying I thought I bought tickets. You've bought tickets probably, probably.

Speaker 2 7:56

That's the kind of thing that we used to do before, before. You could kind of say alexa, remind me, I've just done a stupid drunk purchase. Yeah, you used to have to write yourself a note and stick it on the board, the Pinder board, which will save the story of the Pinder board for another time.

Speaker 1 8:12

Yeah, I think we talked about that last year, have we?

Speaker 2 8:14

Probably have, but no, it was bling-wait-too. Yes, interesting, still good, but also a bit cringe.

Speaker 1 8:22

Yes, Another user User.

Speaker 2 8:27

A user, a user of our podcast. Someone tied the belt around their arm while listening to it.

Speaker 1 8:35

We should have a name for our fans actually, shouldn't we?

Speaker 2 8:37

Our gnomes. We can call them our gnomes, gnomes or something. The gnomes yeah, Rolling with my gnomes.

Speaker 1 8:44

Please make it a featured segment with the black country dialect.

Speaker 2 9:16

What does it mean?

Speaker 1 9:18

yes, I don't know how you make it a um, how we'll make it a featured segment, but um we could do country word of the week, I think we could do a first look at a dialect or something we could but on that note, I thought you've known me for quite a few years. I would say what 20 how old are we now?

Speaker 2 9:42

22, I've known you longer than a lot.

Speaker 1 9:44

22 years. So a lot, 22 years. Yeah, so 22 years. So a lot of this shouldn't Shouldn't be a first look, but it'll be a first look For our listeners. So I thought I'd Give the listeners A first look at some Cornish dialect.

Speaker 2 9:58

Awar, awar, awar, that's it.

Speaker 1 10:01

Yeah, not a Norfolk farmer.

Speaker 2 10:03

Norfolk, that's my Norfolk, yeah, norfolk farmer.

Speaker 1 10:06

No, no, no, no, that's my, yeah norfolk farmer voice so I'll say some cornish um words and phrases, perhaps um, and see if you can work them out okay, handsome that's my first one's answer. What does that mean?

Speaker 2 10:24

oh, oh, lovely, lovely. It's handsome. It's really nice that it's good.

Speaker 1 10:29

Yeah, so something that's top-notch, basically a positive way to greet someone. So you go all right, me handsome.

Speaker 1 10:41

You say all right me handsome. Yeah, all right me handsome, oh, or I taste handsome. It say or write me handsome, yeah, or write me handsome, or I taste handsome. It's something that's really good.

Speaker 2 10:50

It's a word with lots of meanings, but they're all positive. Yeah, directly, directly, directly.

Speaker 1 11:00

So can you use it in a sentence please?

Speaker 2 11:03

I'll get to that directly. I'll see you directly soon, like shortly, like, oh, it's coming up quickly.

Speaker 1 11:11

Yes, it's it's just like an implied time period. It's a bit like what's the Spanish one like mañana, is that the thing? So it's like mañana it's like a time period, but it might mean seconds, years or whatever. A lot of tradesmen in Cornwall will say we'll get to that directly. No actual defined time period.

Speaker 2 11:34

It could be tomorrow, it could be next year.

Speaker 1 11:38

Yeah, so that's definitely. I'll see you directly, or whatever what's on, what's on I you directly, or whatever um what's on what's on?

Cornish Dialect and Greetings

Speaker 2 11:46

what's on? Now, I do know this one. What's on?

Speaker 1 11:50

I know this one from talking to you like w-a-s-s-u-n w-a-s-s-o-n.

Speaker 2 11:55

Yeah um what's on oh what's on? It's a greeting, isn't it? It's a greeting, isn't it? It's like, just you know, it's the means of hello yeah, what's on the answer?

Speaker 1 12:06

Speaker 2 12:19

oh uh. Is that how you greet a woman? It is, it is Cornish woman. That's how you greet a woman. It is, it is, oh there you go Cornish woman.

Speaker 1 12:25

That's how you greet a Cornish woman. Oh Well, sometimes, bird All right, bird, All right bird you want a pasty?

Speaker 2 12:34

See, that's a funny one as well, because bird can be seen as derogatory, Like oh, she's a cracking bird.

Speaker 1 12:42

Over here in Northern Ireland they use bird to describe babies like ah, she's a wee bird, she's a wee bird, a wee bird yeah um, that's funny, I mean, and consider it is just used less um, but still still used bloody bloody like bloody hell, bloody hell yeah, as a poor, you know, just just emphasize, say like a as a bit of a really good pass that was oh, so it can be used in a good way as well yeah, good pass, that was handsome um shag oh.

Speaker 2 13:22

Speaker 1 13:34

A term of endearment.

Speaker 2 13:36

Oh, is it really? Yes, All right shag, All right shag, All right shag, I think, if you didn't say that in a Cornish accent and kind of into Cornish people for our non-British listeners the word shag has my dear and things you know. Well, that's true, but the word shag has many connotations. Most of them are not good. It generally means having a bit of rumpy-pumpy Rumpy-pumpy, oh Not in. Them are not good. It generally means having a bit of rumpy pumpy, rumpipumpi, oh not in. Cornwall. Emmett Emmett, like Emmett Brown E double.

Speaker 1 14:15

M O P. Emmett in a minute no, so basically means tourist. Oh, they're in Emmett, and it's usually used in a sort of negative so basically it means tourist oh, they're in Emmet, and it's usually used in a negative way. So if the queue's on 8.30, you've got bloody Emmets. Ah, that's a good one. Usually a pretty laid-back way, but usually towards the end of August.

Speaker 2 14:41

Especially in Cornwall, considering everybody comes to Cornwall for the summer holidays.

Speaker 1 14:45

Bloody Emmets have blocked up the road again. Bloody Emmets. Usually you get Bloody Emmets. They park their cars sort of down by the beach, the harbour, and then go to the pub and then two hours later you see their car just like floating in the tides.

Speaker 2 15:06

Oh dear, yeah, like come here.

Speaker 1 15:12

Speaker 2 15:54

Er Teasy Teasy's an adder you sound like very battle fast. Then erm Teasy, teasy's an adder Te. You do say it again you sound so bell fast teasy.

Speaker 1 16:09

Teasy is teasy as an adder teasy as an adder.

Speaker 2 16:17

Teasy as an adder, okay, um, it's so if it's referring to an adder to snake, yeah, slippery teasy so like um, uh.

Speaker 1 16:24

So if it's referring to an adder, to snake, slippery, teasy so like. So we like to say that tired and teasy or teasy is probably a word that I've I use quite a lot for getting it's Cornish, but teasy is like irritable. Okay, teasy. My wife gets teasy when she's hungry, okay we'll use that one.

Speaker 2 17:46

he did. He? That's not Cornish, that's English language, mate, you can't say that it's Cornish.

Speaker 1 17:52

No, but it's a way for us to shorten a short question did he, did he.

Speaker 2 17:58

How are you shorting did he from the actual English, which is did he? Okay, so it's still two syllables and he just changed he to dy. Did he, did he? He did he did.

Speaker 2 18:34

Funny.

Speaker 1 18:37

Diddy.

Speaker 2 18:38

Diddy Diddy, it's just shorter and taken away the space. Diddy Diddy, funny, it's just shorter.

Speaker 1 18:47

We've taken a load of space.

Speaker 2 18:48

Did it, did it Funny. That was a good one.

Speaker 1 18:52

I like that one, Walsh. We've still got listeners, still got gnomies, New gnomies that have joined us, new listeners from Wacko Texas.

Speaker 2 19:01

Wacko Texas Nice.

Speaker 1 19:04

Hello Wacko Narbonne Odd. I don't know what it is. Say it again Narbonne, n-a-r-b-o-n-n-e, and then that's from a place called A-U-D-E.

Speaker 2 19:19

I've got a clue Odd.

Speaker 1 19:22

Anyway.

Speaker 2 19:24

It's a commune in France, apparently. Oh lovely, there you go.

Speaker 1 19:31

A commune. I'm a little bit worried about this one. We've got a new listener from Weybridge in.

Speaker 2 19:35

Surrey. No way Could be, uncle Morgz.

Speaker 1 19:41

So hopefully not, but if it is, hello, Morgz.

Speaker 2 19:43

It could be Uncle Morgz. I used to work in Weybridge, so it could be somebody I'm used to now who's Googled me randomly and then come across this.

Speaker 1 19:52

But we don't tell people.

Speaker 2 19:54

We don't advertise. We don't really advertise because it's for a bit of fun. This we're not trying to get famous, we're just trying to do it to help to continue being two dads doing silly things.

Speaker 1 20:05

And that's the Fishpond feedback.

Speaker 2 20:07

Yay, first looks, do you want to go first? First thirsty, first today you back. Yay, first looks, do you want to go first?

Speaker 1 20:14

First thirsty, first today, actually. Yeah, thirsty first, yay, and that's going to be something horrible because it's from the same selection as before.

Speaker 2 20:26

So just for our listeners who are unfamiliar with this feature, while he goes into his fridge which we keep forgetting, he has a fridge in his you mean the cast he has a fridge and in it he keeps, horrendously, old beer. Last time listeners, he had a blueberry ice cream muffin nonsense thing that was horrible and gave him the runs. What's he got today? Let's hear Yonder Battenberg pastry stout. Okay, so another like battenberg. A wonderful delicacy, a beautiful cake. 8.4.

Speaker 1 21:05

So it's reasonable, 8.4 percent uh, lovely, colored pink and purpley sort of colour, battenberg Marzipan and sponge cake. Pastry stout.

Speaker 2 21:19

So effectively. Someone's going to have made a stout and dripped a couple of essence of marzipan flavouring into it. Now, marzipan is one of the it's one of my favourite flavours, however, in a beer.

Speaker 1 21:33

No, thank you. It says beer meet cake, cake meet beer. No, you two have a lot in common. We are sure you'll get along swimmingly. No there you go Cake and beer Eat cake with beer Produced in the UK, brewed in Somerset.

Speaker 2 21:53

Come on then. Let's hear it, let's see it.

Speaker 1 21:55

There you go. It contains barley, wheat, hops, lactose hops and yeast.

Speaker 2 22:01

No pink sponge, oh good sound. And MRSA for Alcoholics that is Smells nice, smells like marzipan, smells nice.

Speaker 1 22:11

Mrsa for alcoholics, that is smells nice, smells like marzipan smells nice so it's a stout, so it's coming out black the stout I had on the, the last episode, the Mayfair and Hazy night. That was really nice, wasn't?

Speaker 2 22:28

it. I enjoyed that one didn't you? Cheers Naomi's, cheers, cheers, naomi's, cheers, cheers Naomi's. Its face doesn't look as horrible as it did the last episode listeners. No, nice, it's all right. Nice, yeah, can you actually taste back and back?

Speaker 1 22:48

No, it's just stout. Basically, it's quite stout. It's a sweet stout, Okay, which stouts don't need to be sweet? But You're fine.

Speaker 2 23:00

Nice, sorry. Well, he was really enjoying that, ladies and gentlemen. He was just really taking his time over that drink.

Speaker 2 23:08

Come back for more episodes, for thrilling reviews of beers, if this is your place for beer reviews go elsewhere well, I think that leads nicely into my first look, williams, when you've opened a stout. So I'll go into my first look. If that's okay, go for it. Is it a thirsty first? It's not a thirsty first. I actually had several thirsty firsts on this trip.

Blarney Stone Experience

Speaker 2 23:31

So we it's the summer, so, ladies and gentlemen, it's the summer holidays in the UK. So we have just come back from a trip down to Cork. We went to kiss the Blarney Stone. Did you Down in Cork? We did. So I'm going to talk about the Blarney Stone. I don't know what that is, so I can probably. I don't know what that is, so I can, probably I can try and explain it myself. Wikipedia would probably do a better job. What is the Blarney Stone? So it's just something very famous. The term Blarney, meaning beguiling but misleading talk, gained currency during the 16th century as the MacArthur of the day attempted to fend off the demands of Queen Elizabeth I. Legends about the Blarney of the day attempted to fend off the demands of queen elizabeth I. Legends about the blarney stone's origin emerged. It's as plausible as the next. It was said to have been a stone used by jacob as a pillow when he dreamed of the ladder extending up to heaven with angels ascending in the semi-glide, and that it was brought from the holy land after the crusades.

Speaker 1 24:28

So, uh, what you do when you go to the Blarney, I might be. Yeah, go on, I might be thinking of a different one. You've got to hide.

Speaker 2 24:36

You are high up and you have to kind of lie back and go upside down to kiss the Blarney Stone and apparently if you kiss it you get the gift of the gab. So if our podcast improves of the Blarney Stone. So, yes, we went down to Cork to kiss the Blarney Stone and it's interesting because it was a beautiful day and Blarney Castle, which is the Blarney Stone, is at the top of Blarney Castle. Blarney Castle is an old castle in Ireland, cold, dank, damp and with a massive queue to go to the top of this castle. So we were there. We went down to Cork to see some family Hadn't gone down specifically to kiss the Blarney Stone, but we're like, oh, that sounds fun, cool, we'll see that much of that. Yeah well, we're there and thought, okay, this will be cool, so we're going to get in the queue. Obviously, I didn't really think about this because I have a fear of heights?

Speaker 1 25:31

Oh, I've just clicked. Yeah, I've just clicked, and you have no heights. Yeah.

Speaker 2 25:36

Oh dear, and it turns out I actually don't like confined tight spaces either.

Speaker 1 25:42

At least I think, within the last 10 years they've actually added health and safety measures.

Speaker 2 25:47

There's people there, there's people there, there's like there's people there to hold you and stuff. So you can't, I don't use it. Yet I think, oh, can you imagine so? So you hit this queue and you've got to go to the top of this castle. So you, you have to queue, and the only way to the top of this castle because it's an old, original castle there's no elevator, there's no escalators, you just have to go up a spiral staircase.

Speaker 2 26:09

But it's so busy and packed because it's the summer, you're in this spiral staircase and you're just stuck in this spiral staircase with literally nowhere to go. And I've never been past the fire. But yeah, going up it I was like this is oh, flip mate, if there's a fire right now, well, obviously it won't matter because it's a stone building, so it won't catch on fire necessarily. But I was a bit like you can't go anywhere. So it's this really tight spiral staircase from the bottom to the top, and we were stuck in this spiral staircase for a good hour, just wedged in One step at a time.

Speaker 2 26:49

I thought what if Brain needs a wee? What if we need to go somewhere? There is nowhere to go, like you can't get out, and it kind of says to you like, oh, this is the last get off point, yeah, before the top, and I was like, well, how far is the top? And I was thinking about it's probably about seven stories. So, anyway, you're in the spiral staircase for an hour. We get it to the top of the spiral staircase hour, and then you're just on the edge of this old castle and there's no kind of there's like a bit of a wall, but it's kind of a wall where it's like it's tall, then it's short, then it's tall, then it's short, and you're moving person by person slowly. So I'm like, okay, now I'm by the short bit and there's a sheer drop, and I myself and I'm like I don't know what I expected, but I get up there and I'm like okay, well, thank goodness we're out of that claustrophobic and I'm just like and there's nowhere to go because I'm blocked in front of me.

Speaker 2 27:52

I'm blocked behind me, there's a wall to the left of me, so imagine this kind of like it's. Maybe, I don't know. Let's think about it. Two foot wide, yeah, curret on the edge of the top of a castle with a sheer drop down the side, and Brandon's there, like look at how high we are, daddy, and jumps up and and I get down, get down.

Speaker 2 28:15

Leslie Ann clicked and she's like, oh crap, he's not enjoying being up here, is he? It was like it took it takes. It takes me a good minute or two to actually climb a tides to the height. I don't know what I was thinking, because I've just been climbing the Spiros, you're so focused on the claustrophobia that suddenly, yeah, you come out and you're on the edge of the top of this castle, walking around this edge. Anyway, got over it. Give myself a shake because I've got a grippy self.

Speaker 2 28:44

I'll just kiss you, you'll be fine so I actually didn't, Leslie Ann did, but I didn't. So we went round and there was a big queue and you lie down and stuff.

Speaker 1 28:54

So the podcast is doomed.

Speaker 2 28:57

The podcast was always doomed. But no, I didn't actually kiss the blind stand, so Lesley-Anne did. She got down and kissed it. Brain was too small so he didn't. So I stood with Brain and I was like, should I do that? And I was like I could. At that time I was like I could do it. I wasn't. I kind of, because they've got like a metal guard so you can't. You know it's not really dangerous or anything. And I was like, nah, I'm all right, I don't need to lie upside down and kiss to see a man of my rotund shape and lean back with these two men, like trying to pull you back from the edge and you're leaning backwards over this thing.

Speaker 1 29:36

The names do for the Instagram page. We should have sent a photo for you.

Speaker 2 29:39

Yeah, well possibly Possibly, but um, because it's not very flattering when you lie down, you then have to shuffle backwards, so your lower back back is kind of teetering over the edge of the castle and then you have to lean back. So yeah, you've got some people holding your legs and then you have to hold these iron bars. So there's iron bars that are like, uh, vertical iron bars that you have to hold and then kind of pull yourself back to get it what's what's the hole for actually?

Blarney Castle, Cork, and Toothbrush Songs

Speaker 1 30:04

so where the blind is, then it is. Yeah, so was that when they used to chuck that hot boring water or tar down at invaders or something?

Speaker 2 30:15

No, no, that's called a glory hole, isn't it? Or something like that. No, that's the wrong word. Is it the glory hole? No, there is something. No, that is a genuine hole, isn't it that they throw this in castles? That's a Freudian slip Right where that is. What is it called? What is the hole? What is the hole? You make it cry. They throw shit down. What is the hole Above a castle entrance? Oh God, what have you got? Send me an image.

Speaker 1 31:15

A murder hole.

Speaker 2 31:16

It's a murder hole. A murder hole, a glory hole, is something else.

Speaker 1 31:26

Oh, that hurts, it hurts. Oopsie-daisy. So you sent me a picture of it upside down. What's that?

Speaker 2 31:37

So that's how you kiss the Blarney Stone. You have to leave it open oh right, so they have these safety measures in place now.

Speaker 1 31:48

Yeah, so before people would just do it, Surely someone there's been an accident uh, one person has died um.

Speaker 2 31:56

Yes, did you know that before you went up, or I didn't, I didn't know anything about it, I just went along there's like, yeah, that sounds fun, cool, we're going, because the blind style, I didn't know you had to lean upside down, etc. Um, sorry, let me get some. So let me show you, let me share another picture. Oh, hang on. Um, I'm going to share a picture with with what I'm so you can imagine, so you can see there the, you can see the castle, so you can see, like when you come out on that second image and I'm stood up there and there's nowhere to go, and you kind, of crammed in and like.

Speaker 2 32:30

So this is, this is how you do it these days, but, like the gap that you can see, there is just a gap down to the floor. Yeah, there's a couple of iron bars there, but it's you know, it's quite high up. I mean, it's not stupid high, but like it would, you wouldn't survive the fall. No, so, yeah, for somebody who's not a big fan of height, it's a beautiful place though. It's gorgeous and really really worth going. So Brain and me like we went to. So me and Brain went for a bit of a walk because it was quite warm. The in-laws.

Speaker 2 33:07

Yeah. So they had all plants and stuff that were all poisonous, oh gosh, yeah. So it was pretty cool. And then we went for a nice long walk around and went to the walled gardens and went to a had a big fern uh garden like a prehistoric garden, which was pretty cool. So blarney castle is well worth a visit and the grounds, like you can. We spent a whole day there. It's beautiful, um, and obviously, while we're down there, I sampled all the different, other than pooping myself because of claustrophobia and heights. We sampled all of the different states. So I had beamish, I had guinness, I had a guinness, a special kind of guinness, I can't remember the name of it, but it was lovely. It was an eight percenter. We had had Murphy's. What else did we have? Beach? Beach was quite nice.

Speaker 1 33:54

I must admit I loved the beach. What would the people of Cork think of a Battenberg pastry stout?

Speaker 2 34:01

They would probably slap you in the face and shovel up your glory hole. That's what I imagine what would happen. But yeah, if anybody travels to the south of Ireland and wants to go to Cork, we want more island, depending on where you're from and what you want to call it. Call it what you will go to Ireland, go to Cork. We went to Cove as well. Beautiful place, just. The people are lovely and I'd say, really, like you know, of course they are, the people genuinely are lovely. Everywhere we went, people were happy and just nice and it was beautiful. So, um, yeah, love island, love cove, love cork. Uh, not a big fan of climbing to the top of the blarley stone with not really knowing what's going on I don't like heights or small spaces yeah, just one of those places where you're like what's happening?

Speaker 2 34:53

How am I in a small space? How am I up high? Okay, fair enough, serves you right for not doing your research, but well worth it. So, yeah, that was my first look at the Blarney Castle and Cove and Cork and all the different stouts. I can recommend going down and trying them all.

Speaker 1 35:10

Yeah, we want to Do that. That's on our list For some point. I can recommend going down and trying them all. Yeah, we want to. We want to do that. That's on our list For some point.

Speaker 2 35:16

If only you had some family who lived in Ireland.

Speaker 1 35:18

Yes, I don't know any. What about?

Speaker 2 35:22

your father. What's your first look?

Speaker 1 35:24

I'll do some little looks, because little Logan, obviously, he's constantly on the first look. So I'll go through some of those recent first looks.

Speaker 2 35:38

So first of all, I'll go through.

Speaker 1 35:42

So he's had his not his first curry, but he had his first spicy curry. So he had the same, exactly the same meal since he was 18 months old, but he had the basically baby proof curry, same meal as um, myself and his mum and um, but accidentally, um, before georgie realized um, and it wasn't much, wasn't much, but accidentally put in a little bit of cayenne pepper. Okay, um, and it was mild for me. But poor logan bless him, he had his yogurt and he was. He was like pouring the yogurt over his tongue, over his face wow um, yeah, it was.

Speaker 1 36:31

Uh, it was like we would if we had, like a super spicy curry.

Speaker 2 36:38

Yeah, um, but he was, it was fine, just had it all with his first, first spicy curry and did you want to make me after like say, here you go, I'm gonna have a sip of this. They'll call me that have some, have some, san Miguel no, just chucking, chucking yogurt down yourself.

Speaker 1 36:56

It was quite funny. Oh god love him. And then links to the, the last episode. So I've moved from the. You know, I was saying I've got the brush toothbrushing song, the brush, brush, brush, brush your teeth.

Speaker 2 37:09

Yes by Yellow.

Speaker 1 37:12

Which, in hindsight, I should have just phoned you and said what's this song? But Georgie's found this song which is called. It's called the Toothbrush Song by Super Simple Songs, called. It's called the toothbrush song, um, by super simple songs. It's called um. You play that and apparently every kid just tunes into this, this toothbrush song, and um, yeah, perfectly, brush the teeth. No issues, no problems. So that was uh. So my own song has been put to bed and we now use the toothbrush song from a youtube video of the the toothbrush song by super simple songs okay, I don't think I know that one or it may be.

Speaker 1 37:53

It may be one, I don't know about it, but, yeah, apparently a lot of parents of little kids for the, the brushing of teeth, the toothbrush song by super simple songs. That's the, that's the, that's the trick, and it's by super simple songs. At the weekend he had his first haircut oh, how did that?

Speaker 1 38:17

go. He went fine. He was well done. He sat on mum's lap, went really well. The barber did well not to cut his ear off or anything like that, but yeah, it was good. But he went from an 18-month-old to looking like a four-year-old. But yeah, and he had his first haircut, very nice.

Speaker 2 38:49

Well, I'm glad he didn't scream the house down. When we had brain, my brain did his. He had to have two barbers God love them and at the same time and he was just there the whole time pin him down. Um, pending him down, I was very sympathetic, taking pictures, thinking this is the funniest thing ever. So, um, I'm just gonna go, just gonna bring you back to the toothbrush song. Yeah, I am telling you, you and I have missed a trick, we have missed a boat. So the brush your teeth kids songs by super simple songs has had 129 million views, right? So just to put that in context, hey, doggie, which is a big cartoon in the uk for kids from the ages of one to probably six, they have a toothbrush brushing song which has had 19 million views. So imagine if you write a little jaunt a little, an original toothbrush singing song, that's, I will have a listen, but like it's magic for the little babies to well, for our experience, 18 month old it it works.

Speaker 1 39:58

if you're in your kids to brush their teeth or you know, at least I'd let you brush your teeth it's the song, it's just it's a simple song, simple song with simple animation. For some reason, kids, kids love it.

Speaker 2 40:13

Brush your teeth in the morning and night. So I'm telling you we need to set up a side hustle. Well, we haven't missed a boat. We can still make a boat, because yesterday's Super Simple Songs or today's Super Simple Songs is tomorrow's chip paper or something like that. I'm sure we could do something like this. What kind of things do you need kids to do?

Speaker 1 40:42

Oh, I've got it, it here. You go right into something like I said that, but that song has got how many? 129 million, hey dougie 19 million.

Speaker 2 40:51

That's a huge difference no, I'm gonna tell you what I've got it. I've got it right now. This, my drunken inspiration has come, I don't even know. I think you should maybe mute the microphones at this point. If you listen to podcasts, just beep back. Okay, this is a. This is golden idea. Right, right, what the little boys love, right, pebbles. They love rock, poop, no, poop, yeah, poop, right. What do kids need to do? They need to learn to wipe the bum. Yeah, need to make a song that is funny about wiping bomb, to get kids to think wiping your bum is fun. So the fun, fun, bomb, bomb wipe, wipe song, something along those lines. Yes, I'm telling you we will. We will smash 129 million views, we will make it. We will make it. Kids love stupid shit channel or whatever it's called.

Speaker 1 41:38

Yeah, you probably will because. Um, so sometimes when we because sometimes when we're wiping Logan's bum and give him a nice fresh nappy on we ask Alexa to play the Stinky Bum song. So people will be asking for these sorts of songs.

Speaker 2 41:58

So there is one here called Wash your Bum Bum. It's had 1.5 million views.

Speaker 1 42:05

It was put on a year ago, so somebody else has obviously had this idea as well. This one's by hey kids so which one of us two are you uh presuming has got the musical talent?

Speaker 2 42:22

oh, I, I have an abundance of musical talent. So I used to hang around with a friend of mine uh, uh, pretty danny, danny baldwin and he used to play a song. Like you, pick a song, a random song it's a play on the guitar and I'll get the guitar and within about a minute you could play it. You could play music by it. So all we're gonna do. If you see the Father Ted episode right where they sing my Lovely Horse, which, to their mind, was.

Speaker 2 42:49

My Lovely Horse, my Lovely Horse, my Lovely Horse Beautiful song, but it was a B-side of some random record mix. So all we're going to do is find some random Scandinavian people who've made really good tunes. I'll listen to it, learn how to play it on a Casio keyboard and guitar. We'll write the lyrics together over a drunken session. With AI, we can probably get some computer dolly bird to sing it. We'll use AI to make some videos for it and, before you know it, we have got a chart-topping Wipe your Ass song for kids 129 million views and we are off on the bahamas wiping our bombs with 50 bills. I'm telling you, alice, it's, it's a foolproof plan. I'm pretty sure there's nothing could go wrong with that as long as we don't let anyone know outside of.

Speaker 2 43:39

Yeah okay, we'll keep it secret that was my first looks.

Parenting Tips and Farm Park Visit

Speaker 1 43:47

Very good, wiles. Very good Next up tips for dads. Tips for dads. Tips for dads. Tips for dads. Get your tips out for the dads. We were away. I was taking photos of Logan. I think he was climbing, I think it was some sort of playground thing. He was climbing for a pipe or something and the good wife was behind him, took a lovely photo, but then I realised she was in the background and sort of bending over and and I said something like your boobs are hanging out and that's it.

Speaker 1 44:41

That's it all the words out there. Never use the word hanging in regards to your wife's, so you can say spilling or overflowing, maybe, or bubbling, bubbling bursting, anything apart from the word hanging. So do not use the word hanging.

Speaker 2 45:07

Yes, yes, yeah, absolutely that's it.

Speaker 1 45:15

That's my tips for dads. Tips for dads.

Speaker 2 45:20

I do have one of the first look. So, as our gnomies, regular gnomies, would know, we have been pursuing purchasing a house, yes, which is getting closer, hopefully by the time we do the next episode we'll be in.

Speaker 2 45:40

So I think we've talked about we may have talked about in the last episode or the previous episode will be in. So, um, I think we've talked about we may have talked about in the last episode or the previous episode how ridiculous the whole process of buying a house is. You're buying something that was very expensive and you spend five minutes in it and you have to make a decision whether you want to live there for the next 20 years. Um, so, to show the madness, we need to get a new kitchen. Again. Many dads will probably, uh, empathize with this. My wife wanted to go and have a look at kitchens. Um, so I have a first look at kitchen shopping.

Speaker 2 46:13

Williams kitchen shopping kitchen shopping and this is this kind of fires on fuel tips for dads. There are certain things you can't say like I don't care, um, they all look the same to me. I I like that one.

Speaker 1 46:31

You can't say I like that one if it's not the one she likes, no you can't say, oh, that's nice, is it?

Speaker 2 46:36

is it nice? Well, I think so. It's not nice.

Speaker 1 46:39

All right, then I'll take back my opinion me and the wife wife have learned if you don't like something, we've come up with the phrase that's not my favourite option.

Speaker 2 46:49

That's what we use now. Very good, and do you ever use that or does just?

Speaker 1 46:53

George, use that All the time, all the time.

Speaker 2 46:55

You actually say that.

Speaker 1 46:57

Yeah Well, no, that's right. More so she does More so she does. I was going to say that's not an option. But that's not my favourite option.

Speaker 2 47:07

So if you get kitchen shopping with your better half and she asks your opinion, just say it's lovely, it's lovely, that's really nice. If that's the one, if that makes you happy, not a problem, because ultimately, what do you want out of a kitchen, one of them's?

Speaker 1 47:25

I want out of a kitchen an oven yeah an oven yeah yeah do you?

Speaker 2 47:30

care if it's do you care if it's L shaped? Do you care if your kitchen is?

Speaker 1 47:35

U shaped.

Speaker 2 47:36

Do you really care about the island or a peninsula? I mean, it doesn't have an oven or anything a or a peninsula.

Speaker 1 47:41

I mean it doesn't go on anything at george foreman grill maybe, but well, there you go.

Speaker 2 47:45

Have you ever considered shaker doors, handle list doors, slab doors? Have you ever given?

Speaker 1 47:50

any consideration a shaky what a shaker door.

Speaker 2 47:53

A shake a kitchen. So it's a door with like wood. It's like a flat piece of wood with an other wood on top of it. A shaker door, so it's like a whole. It's like a Pokemon. No, it's a type of door, that's all it is. It's just a type of door, but apparently it's a thing. Walliams, a shaker door is a thing. I was like is it not just a door? No, no, it's a shaker door, but then it tunnel is still all on this.

Speaker 2 48:21

It's pretty shaking the heads though Probably things like that I think it's 90% female.

Speaker 1 48:26

Yeah.

Speaker 2 48:27

Would that be reciprocated if we went to being cute and I was like, right, I need to get some new power tools, I need a certain type of drill, I need this. Yeah, I don't think. I don't think our wives would say, oh yes, darling, I would engage in conversation with you about it my wife likes her and likes a power drill. Okay so that sounds too yeah yeah, well, it's been interesting because like we spent you know we were, we were, we spent.

Speaker 2 48:59

You know we were, we were, we spent four hours just perusing, yeah, and you know I was very like, oh yeah, that's nice, yeah, I like that, that's good, and you know.

Speaker 1 49:10

And are you? I don't know if you mentioned this in the podcast or separately, but are you? Are you looking to install it yourself or are you getting someone in, or?

Speaker 2 49:25

You see, I'm very I would class myself as a very handyman, um, and by that, again, that could be taken one of two ways hands-on. I'm very hands-on. Um, we've got ourselves into a lot of trouble. This episode. What I mean is, uh, I like a bit of diy. I'd love to install a kitchen, absolutely, and install a kitchen, and there's no chance in hell more for, let me know, no, we need a professional. To date. What's gonna cost us like five grand more, don't care. Okay, that's fine, we'll just let somebody else install the kitchen who doesn't give a shit about our kitchen, just wants to get out of the house as quickly as possible. We're leaving a lot of trauma here. So, um, yeah, I wouldn't install an oven and things like that, but in our last house did you see our last kitchen?

Speaker 2 50:10

I'll tell you you're not doing, I probably no, you're not allowed to install gas and they have to be probably gas certified. But in our last house I renovated the whole kitchen. It was I did a cracking job, I the tile in, I took all the cupboards off and refinish them, did the work tops myself. Now I did have to go and buy a second worktop because I miscalculated and cut the gas hub hole wrong. So I did end up having to buy a second worktop, which may be what I still my wife had a bit of dread, but it came out all right in the end.

Speaker 2 50:42

Yeah, so you know. So I think in the new house she wants, yeah, but I think in the new house she wants it a certain way. But yes, kitchen shopping it was. We spent five minutes choosing the house we wanted to buy, four hours looking at a kitchen that we didn't end up buying at all it'll be worth it in the end.

Speaker 1 50:56

It'll be worth it in the end so yes, first look at looking Kitchens.

Speaker 2 51:00

Good luck to everybody who does it, good luck.

Speaker 1 51:05

Good luck. My other first look is we were away up in Cheltenham and we had a first look, so we went to Adam Henson's Cotswold Farm Park. Oh, that sounds nice. Adam Henson is Country Fire I. I believe he's a presenter on that um, it's in the cotswolds um, and we went. It's basically it's a farm, but geared up for um kids very nice it is very expensive.

Speaker 1 51:41

So it's. It's in the cot's world, so either the nannies are taking their kids there or they're off take their kids there, um, so it's. I can't remember the prices now, but it's free for under two, but then if they're two, then it's like 15 quid or or something which um that's outrageous.

Speaker 2 52:01

It says here on the website prices add up quite a lot um it says here it's a great value family day out. Are you saying they're like for no?

Speaker 1 52:11

no, it just depends on the family, doesn't it? For the families in the area, I would say yes, it is um, but that being said, we did. We spent a lot longer there than we expected. We were just expecting a few goats, but the wife and Logan got to hold a little baby chick and sort of. Logan actually got to stroke a little chick and some rabbits and things and a sheep, barred Logan.

Speaker 1 52:40

A little soft play area, which you get a lot of these places, but it was a nice posh soft play area which you get a lot of these places, but it's a nice posh, soft play, yeah, middle class. Um, yeah, it was a nice, yeah nice. I would recommend it, um, if you've got the money to go um it looks incredible.

Speaker 2 52:56

Just like the website and stuff. Yeah, I mean it? Looks proper middle upper class. Yeah, just looking at the videos I'm like, wow, that is there.

Speaker 1 53:12

And we got lunch there not really thinking about the prices and ended up spending probably too much money.

Speaker 1 53:15

But, we've been to other sort of similar places. And you go in and you know, on the way out we went to a National Trust thing. And you go in and you, you know, uh, on the way I went to national trust thing and we've got, you know, you get your sausage roll, your packet of crisps and, yeah, your staple sort of stuff, that sort of place, um, but I ended up having um, this really posh, tasty sort of chorizo and a red wine, um sauce. These uh new potatoes with like salt and crusted, um, parmesan and crusted sort of new potatoes.

Speaker 2 53:49

You posh git yeah, there's like man of the people. People, ladies and gentlemen. One of the people with his chorizo sauce and that was you was there any you?

Speaker 1 53:58

there. Yeah, probably was a bit of zoo, but yeah, really nice Really nice.

Speaker 2 54:06

It looked incredible. It looked like a lovely place to go and visit.

Speaker 1 54:09

But yeah, out of market, but yeah, lovely weather. You get to see lots of animals, you get to learn about animals, you can feed the goats and all that sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 54:22

They sell booze as well. Did you try some of the Ashton Press or the Bookcom Bohemia Lager? I didn't. No, I didn't. I'm just looking at the drinks menu. It looks like the food does look lovely, like it doesn't look too overpriced. So would you recommend you wouldn't go there on a budget necessarily.

Speaker 1 54:37

It's one of those places where you kind of have to go and be like okay, um, so if we went, was like, say, logan was six months older, um, suddenly you got paid for him. Say, we went with, you know, my sister's family and their kids. It ends up being, you know, as a small group it can be quite expensive. Um no, I would. I would, I would probably still recommend it if you're in that neck of the woods with kids. Yeah, because it's a great way for kids to sort of actually see the animals and stroke them and get involved.

Alternative Animal Names Quiz

Speaker 2 55:16

You can stay there. By the look of it, it's got holidays and stuff.

Speaker 1 55:19

Yeah, there was, yeah yeah, some sort of like camping site thing With hot tubs and things. Yeah, there was, yeah. Yeah, some sort of like camping site thing With hot tubs and things.

Speaker 2 55:25

Yeah, hot tubs and things. They've got hot tubs. I'm watching their kind of zip line videos and all the kids wearing kind of. Ralph Lauren shirts.

Speaker 1 55:35
