Worst way you've been scammed. I was oh god, I remember that. Excuse me. I was at McDonald's and a guy in his 40s asked for a pound to get the bus to the hospital. I gave him I gave him it because he looked well dressed and I just assumed he had nothing on him. He walked up to the counter and bought a mayo chicken and then laughed in my face.

The laughed in my face? Laughed in my face. Disrespectful. While eating a mayo chicken. He knew there was no repercussions. Yeah, a hundred percent. He knew there was no remote. So what's new? Repercussions. What are you gonna do? I'm eating this mayo chicken in your fucking boat. There's nothing you're gonna do about it. Give me another pound. Yeah, because this time I do wanna get the bus. You don't know.

Nah, that's horrible. When I was reading that one, that reminded me specifically of the the petrol station time. I remember. The worst way not even the worst way I got scammed, but the w how I got scammed and I didn't even realise I got scammed until it was too late. Mm mm. So I was in Paris last year. Subtle flex.

I was in France last year. Yeah yeah yeah. I was outside of Europe last year, right? And Um, I think it was a n it was a day I was going to uh Disneyland Paris, but obviously not well not obviously taking the train there as opposed to Uber or whatever because there's a direct train that takes you to Disneyland Paris.

And underground thing, I don't really know how the thing was obviously it's in French as well, blah, blah, blah. And I didn't I didn't see if there was a breader in the service thing. So I just used the machine. Obviously don't speak French, didn't know what was doing. But there was a breader I came up and was, oh You need help, where you go, blah, blah, blah, this night.

The Ombudsman is jumping. I go. Um all right button.

Oh right, worst way you got scammed, this is my last one, right? Alright. Starts off. Perhaps I'm just too naive. I've been hit twice by pyramid schemes. Just as soon as I join, they disappear. Can't I can't I for once be on the top tier and benefit from the scam as a way of convincing the other losers that it's legit? I've been in the city. Twice! Twice! Twice! Every time I sign up, they disappear. I will never. Ever, ever forgive one of our boys. I won't name him. Yeah.

And then they'll bring in the senior vice assistant president of the Midlands. twice removed to come in and be like I make eight K a month just from the pyramid trickles mm and it only took me three years of graft and all you need to do I think what they were doing is they're

ask if they're basically selling cheaper utilities or some shit like that. So your door knocking. Yeah. Your door knocking and convincing people to change over their like water, gas and electric and internet over to their thing, mm-hmm, which was slightly cheaper. And then you get paid commission of it, and a certain percentage of your commission will go to your like little leader, which would have been our boy. Mm-hmm.

He would have been my little line manager. My little Scientology fucking dad. So and he was like, Yeah, cool and then everyone that you recruit Same thing. Yeah. So once you've got enough worker bees under you, you get promoted to this, which means you get like an extra commission or whatever. Long story short, I kissed my teeth and drove back home.

And next up on the agenda is I have some recommendations. Oh, let's go. I have some recommendations. S plural. Plural. I'm excited. Let me set up. Yeah, I've actually I actually had so many recommendations. I had to Part one, part two it. Yeah, part one, part two it. Oh my god. I've got more to come the next time we're recording. Oh my god. Yeah. I'm so excited. I love a recommendation. Huh. Don't we all. Okay, cool. I'm locked. Right. I'm locked. So first one. Mm-hmm.

I watched this on the plane, um on the way home. When the fuck did I watch this? I watched it on a plane at a time in my life. Cool, cool, cool. Monkey Man. Oh, Dev Patel. I know that's gonna be heavy. Huh? Okay. It's a movie! Okay! You might Okay, okay, okay. It's a movie! What? Yeah, that's me tonight. That's me tonight. On the way back, it was on the way back from New York. A guy, like a few rows down from me, was watching it. And every time I would catch a glimpse.

Man will just fight in. How much fucking fighting is going on in this movie? Yeah. Every time I look, they're fighting. Yeah. So I was like, I have to watch it. Brother, watched it, goddamn it. Locked in. Wow, it's a movie. Okay. What? Okay. Fuck Monkey Man's a fucking movie, bro. Say less, say less. I remember seeing it when it uh this was obviously earlier this year around summertime. Mm-hmm. Obviously it came out in the movies, I saw the trailer, blah blah blah.

And I was thinking, okay, this looks good, this looks good. And it's like sit it's got that John Wick-esque feel to it. So yeah, man. It's good, bro. Stay less. Um, right, this is not a recommendation. We've touched on it. Briefly, but I think everyone needs to hear. I know you don't feel this way, but I feel like I owe the people an apology. Okay. It's a bit overdue. My hero's actually good. The, the, the, the, the first...

Three to four episodes of this most recent season of My Hero were some of the worst anime I've seen in my life. Yeah. I'm gonna put my hands on the. Way more. Some of the worst anime I've seen. And so at that point It felt appropriate for Fiad and I to come on here and be like, I'm fucking done with this show. It's bullshit and I hate it. I'm over it. Mm-hmm. I went when we were in um Scotland recently, I binged the following like nine episodes back to back that day. Yeah.

That was an experience. I can imagine. I can imagine. That was a fucking experience we had. Um Wow. The reason I the thing is, I I am completely it's like a Venn diagram in my head at the moment because I understand where you're coming from in the apology, but I also still stand by what I say because I watched it week by week by week. Yeah.

it wasn't as gripping pause as as it has been for you because you watched nine episodes in one sitting. Yeah yeah. But don't get me wrong, the arms was finally arms in. Um the storyline was getting better. I think there's I'm I'm not even up to date. I think there's an ep or two out at the moment. Um but yeah the fight scenes were cool. What The reason why I feel like I wasn't really like ex exclaiming about it is because

Every week I was watching it, they were going to a different part for a different fight. So there was no continuity. So I was thinking like oh after now watch this. Yeah. And after now go watch that. And after I get that but watching it in one sitting I can imagine like juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy. So yeah.

Um, right, the next recommendation, which is a rogue one I didn't expect to be a thing. Mm-hmm. Yellowstone. It's all Paramount Paramount Plus. I've not seen it but I've seen it. Yeah. Really? I watched it on my on the playing home the other day. I had had rinsed all the movies. I also watched Challengers, which is okay. Oh. I'll watch that on the plane. What did you what did you think?

It's okay, right? It's okay, yeah. Yeah. Like it's cool, but I expected a bit more. Yeah. Were you left a bit like mm a bit? First of all, not to give too many spoilers, I hated that they didn't finish that match at the end. Yeah. That fucking pissed me off. Yeah, it was just it's what the whole movie's based around. The movie just Yeah, yeah, yeah. It just ends. I heard um

I it was what I found interesting about Challengers though is that like um I'm pretty sure Zendaya like wrote and directed it. Really? Yeah. I don't know about directed, but I'm pretty sure she wrote it. Produced by Zendaya. Produced okay, sorry, she produced it. Yeah. And she started on it. Um Considering that, I found it quite interesting

the role she plays in it, considering she produced it herself. Okay. Because she she plays a role which isn't too actually dissimilar to a lot of the l the law that people put around her um basically a lot of people love to chat shit to her about like her and Tom Holland and her and um Timothy Chalamet. Okay, okay, okay, okay. I'm not sure. She's done interviews before where people were like, Oh, so who's the better kisser on screen, Tom or Timmy? Like Tom's her man, her man, man. Stop man.

Tom's a man man and then like obviously Timothy's just like fucking on screen man. Yeah. And um and Tom's also a her on screen man. Yeah. Um but yeah, uh she uh it was interesting that she did that in Challengers because in Challenges she's basically How do you make chicken nuggets like 7,000% better? Short answer, you let Taco Bell make them. Long answer, start with all white meat chicken nuggets, bread them in crunchy tortilla chips, and serve them with Hidden Valley Diablo Ram.

Yep, that's Hidden Valley Ranch mixed with Taco Bell Diablo sauce. It's exactly what it sounds like, and somehow even better. Simple math, spicy results. Crispy Chicken Nuggets from Taco Bell, a brand new classic, at participating US Taco Bell locations for a limited time only while supplies last. We interrupt this program to bring you an important Wayfair message. Wayfair's got style tips for every home. Like an untamed This has been your week. Superiors? Superior. Fair every style every home.

Are you gonna watch it or no? I'll watch it. Okay, well I want to. I'm not that invested in it. Yeah, all right, bet. So basically the plot is is obviously around tennis. Yeah. She was like an up and coming like tennis star. And she injured herself. And she basically has this there's these two guys who are best friends. It's basic uh uh it's like two guys that are best friends and

Like they're best, best friends and they're also tennis players and they're also brilliant at tennis. And she basically says earlier they both want to fuck her. And she says basically early on they have like what is it, the youth like the juniors US Open

finals against each other. Okay. The next day. Yeah,'cause they're usually a team. Yeah, yeah, they usually they just won doubles and then they're doing singles and they're both made it to the final and they're playing each other. And basically she said, Whoever wins gets my number. Mm. So Um there's one of them who's like he's like he one of them basically is just like

He's talented, he is like lazy, he's a joker, like he doesn't take himself serious. Yeah, yeah. And then the other one's like a hard worker, stringent, like but always so yeah, it's um Ari? The second guy, Mike, who plays a guy called R. Donaldson. Oh R and then the next one over from him, Josh O'Connor, who plays a p uh Patrick Zwake. Mm-hmm. Um, they're the two best friends. Okay. And essentially it just follows their Curr like their fellows their careers.

Whereas like Josh, he goes pro really, really, really early, really young. um and just struggles because he's so lazy and all this kind of stuff. He struggles to like achieve true greatness. But he's incredibly talented. Mm-hmm. And then you've got art who is a hard worker, also very talented. And early on him and uh Zendaya and and Patrick

Um, the guy with the brown hair. Yeah, yeah. They do a ting, basically she gets injured, they break up and art kinda just like slides in there. So they end up her and her and art end up getting married. But he has no fire in his belly. He's talented, but he has no fire in his belly. Okay. And brother, when I say basically the boys stop being best friends, Zendeya.

Cheats on art with fucking Patrick. Cheats on him. Okay. Over the course of like eight years, cheats on him like two or three times, isn't it? And it's heart-wrenching when she does it. Damn. Heart. Wrenching. Damn. Imagine How do I put this so it really, really brings it home? Imagine me and you, right? Yeah. Imagine me and you in a situation and I've

I'm like this is it's probably the opposite, but for this for the sake of it. Let's say I'm super straight laced. Mm-hmm. Um I want like stability, a family and all this stuff, and I offer this to the love of my life. Mm-hmm. You s you're the kind of guy who like maybe you met her at a party one time, you're just a bit chirpsy, you're just a bit of a playboy, like you fuck around and all sorts, she doesn't take you serious. Um, you don't have much money, you're not like but you're just like

A cheeky, funny, fuck around guy. Mm-hmm. We're best friends. We kind of grow apart. And then you just but you have big dick energy. Okay. And you intermittently Fuck my wife. With just big dick energy. I give her everything. Yeah. On paper, yeah, I'm like the perfect guy. Yeah. But there's something about you she can't resist. Yeah. And it's just like just your haphazardness. Yeah. That you just roll in there, I'm like a wagua and you're looking fine.

And then she can't help it. And she hates that she likes you. Yeah, yeah. She never admits that she likes you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's very just like, my man, my man, my man. Who the fuck do you even think you are? But you double down. Yeah, you just sit there and smile at her because you know. And then you fuck her and dip. Jesus. And that keeps happening. Nah, that's not okay. And because I love her so much, I glimpsed it one time.

And you charged it. I didn't say nothing. Mentally you charged it. Yeah. So there's one there's one thing, yeah? So basically the plot is He's got no fire in his belly. He just wants to retire, be usendea, have their child and just be married and just I don't want to do this. Yeah. Patrick has never achieved the greatness he thinks he deserves. Yeah. And he's chasing it, chasing it, chasing it. Yeah. So essentially. Zendea is so p she she plays tennis v uh vicariously through her husband.

Okay. Cause she never got to make it. Okay. She plays tennis for him. So when she sees that like he doesn't have that fire, she resents him. And there's something that she finds attractive about Patrick, even th because he has so much fire for it. But he's just not serious. Um so basically the the whole the whole uh movie is based around like their backstory and then

Art is very successful in tennis. Patrick is not, but Patrick is Pat uh Patrick always beats art when they when they play. Okay. Even though art is like achieved way more in his career whenever they actually play. Yeah.

Ars never managed to beat Patrick and it's all a mindset thing. Okay. He's not Patrick Ars actually better than him. Yeah. And Zendaya says it from when they're kids. Yeah. You're better than him, but he manages to get into your head. The same way he gets into Zendaya's head. Yeah. And manages to keep fucking her. Yeah.

He gets in Rstead in just in just in terms of like you're just he little bros him all the time. And then there's like find your fire, find your fire, find your fire. Fight back. And basically Uh spoiler alert. When they're playing. They m they managed to play and this is the first time they've played as professionals together. Okay. And the only reason they play is because art's lost so much confidence and so much fire.

There's an idea is like, let's just do a baby tournament just before the the US Open. Let's do a baby little tour tournament. Get your confidence going and then we can go into the uh we can go into the the US Open like with confidence. Patrick, because he's not his career's not flourished, these little baby tournaments are all he has. So he pulls up to the baby tournament and then they see each other and they haven't seen each other in years and

When they were younger, because Patrick and uh Zende were doing a thing first. Okay. And Patrick was like I'm not telling you anything about this relationship'cause I know you like her and all this kind of stuff. I don't want to hurt you. So R's like, Nah, tell me, tell me, tell me, you have to tell me. So basically, R has a very specific tennis serve. Okay.

So I would just remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That little space there? Before he starts, he always puts the handle there. Yeah. So art says To Patrick, right, just tell me this. If you fucked her Serve like serve like me. Put the thing in there. Oh Patrick says, Oh, I'll serve like you if I fucked her and if I didn't I'll serve like me. Mm-hmm. So then their signal from then was putting the ball in the middle thing and then they'll make eye contact. Yeah. So in their last match.

It's so juicy the way it happens. They're playing, playing, playing, playing, playing. Zendaya's watching, watching, watching, and she's thinking, you have to beat this Patrick guy. You have to beat him. Like he's been in your head all along. She thinks that art doesn't know that he's that that he's been like trying to tingle this kind of stuff. And the funny thing is, they fucked the night before that tournament. Patrick and Zaneya. They fucked the night before that tournament.

So when they're playing, it's getting tense. Yeah. And R's just like losing a bit, losing a bit, losing a bit. It's getting intense and getting intense. You can see though the embers are burning a little bit, and it's looking like Patrick, good old Patrick. Come back again with his mind games. Can't find that fire. He sees himself as lower than Patrick, even though he's chetief more than Patrick. Brother, they're playing, playing, playing.

And then towards the end, just to put salt on the wound, Patrick looks at him and does that. He puts the ball in his thing. Yeah. Art says, fuck off. Straight face. Fuck off. Zed doesn't understand. Yeah. So she's like, what's going on? And he's like, swear, big man. Yeah. Patrick serves. Art doesn't move. The ball goes flying past. I don't move, bro. Squares up. It's a square. Yeah? Say less. They play tennis after that video.

They play tennis after that. Sailor. This is the movie you said I was average. You're locked. Yeah, because they they end the film ten seconds. They end the film when they start playing tennis, they cut the film there. Okay. It was juicy. Anticlimactic. Say less. Oh, they played tennis after that. Say less. Okay.

Sorry to cut you off. Is this the movie where they had that camera shot where they throw the ball in the air and that the camera went round? Useless. Really? That is the movie, and they were bigging it up. And it was just the most useless thing. Wait, the angle where when they're hitting it, you're the ball. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I found it quite interesting. I can see why you were and I was also trying to I was actually trying to figure out

How they did it. I think it was a three sixty camera, but I'm not sure. Yeah, they they made a big deal about like this has never been shot like this and all this kind of stuff. But like it's in it for two seconds though. Yeah, they did it. It was it was I was looking out for it the whole film. Twice for like a couple of seconds each. And I didn't

It's not that I I thought it was bad. I just didn't think it because they bigged it up. I was expecting something. It didn't bring anything. Oh, it doesn't actually bring much of the and you can't. see what's happening. Because the ball's just spinning like that. Okay. You can basically make out like some figures and stuff like that. You can't see the match. Yeah. But no She's a fucking psychopath though. There's one scene where like it's not even a spoiler, but she's literally like riding him.

And she's just like you need to work on your back end and he's like What the fuck are you doing?

She's riding up. No, no, she she was riding back this is when they were uh together. She's riding Patrick. Okay. She was like, You need to do this, you need to that, you need to do this, you need to do that. Literally whilst fucking and he's just like, Are you serious? Yeah, like stop. Stop this. Oh my god. He's like, Why are you talking about tennis? She was like, What the fuck else am I going to talk about?

Facts. I'm living vicariously both of you. Yeah, it was facts. I'm not gonna lie, I was locked into the movie, but I just think it could have been a lot better. Okay, cool, cool, cool. Um you said you have one more recommendation. I have one more recommendation. Okay. But yeah, that's Monkey Man is me tonight. Monkey Man's amazing. I've watched two episodes of Yellowstone. Yeah. Oh yes, yes, so yes, I forgot. It's giving um

It's given like succession. Okay. Yeah, so it basically revolves from basically I know there's a few few seasons of it. The first episode is an hour and a half. It was juicy. Basically it is it based around um Is it Kevin Costner the lead? Yeah. Um based around him, he owns like thirty thousand acres of land in Montana. Called Yellowstone, I'm assuming. Yeah, the Yellowstone li Yellowstone Ranch. Okay.

And um obviously he's caked. Yeah. He's got all this land and he's like a powerful figure in that community. Yeah. And he's got kids and like all his kids very similar to Succession where like All his kids have roles in in their adult lives that only he allows them to have that. Mm-hmm. So, like for example, one of his sons is a lawyer, he's only a lawyer to help with the ranch. Like everything we're Everything rewards on the branch. Interesting. Um So yeah, it's actually

I'm enjoying I've only seen two episodes of it. I'm enjoying it. And it's just like a lot of polit not a lot of politics, but it's like Basically it's all about like this land is all we have. Yeah. And people there's loads of like battles he's trying to fight. Yeah. About people trying to like either do this with his land or take his land or sell his land or do this or do that or do this. And he's trying to constantly like battle. Yeah. Um It's good.

Fair play. And I've heard I had heard it was good. Okay. Um, five seasons, fucking hell. Fair play. Oh yeah. I had heard it was good before, but like I see I see a cowboy hat and I'm like, I don't think so. Mmm, I hear that. But but that's the beauty about being on the plane sometimes, you've got fuck wells to do. Valid. So I put it on and I was like, bro, I've really enjoyed it. 8.7 out of 10 on uh IMDB. Okay. It's good, bro. Oh, there's one scene in there? Yeah.

Turn me on The Door? Yeah. It's a slight spoiler, but it's very, very, very early on. So Okay, it's not really a spoiler. It's not really a spoiler. Yeah. One of the guys, um Uh Rip the third guy in. Yeah. He's like he works for uh John, the main guy. Yeah. He's his bad guy. You know, every mob boss has like a guy who just gets his hands dirty. Yeah, cleans up. Yeah, Rip gets the hands dirty. Okay. He does the shit no one no one else can do. Okay.

The uh the daughter of Beth, the second one. Yeah. There's one scene in there, yeah, where Rip's looking for John, walking through the house. Beth is in there. She's like, oh my dad's not here. And he's like, all right, there. She's wearing um just like a dressing gown. As he's walking, as he's about to leave, he turns around to say bye to her. Dressing gown's, I'm done. And he's like, What you doing man? And she's like

Nothing bro. Like nothing. I'm not doing anything. At the end of the day she was like, What are you doing?'Cause you can either out of the blue by the way, you can either walk like you can either carry on with day doing what you're doing, or you can fuck me. That's what she said. You can either walk down the hallway like you just were, or you can fuck me. My heart will triple beat. Yeah, yeah, same. Same bro. Oh my god. Same bro.

The change of blood pressure will make me dizzy. The change of pressure will give me vertigo. I have to grab furniture. Vertigo, yeah! Bro, it would give me vertigo. My my my my heart won't know which way to pump. Turn my brain on my cock, bro. He wouldn't know which way to pump. Yeah, you make me dizzy. You can fuck me. Bro, next scene, he used Bangin'! When I say bank, they're banging, bro. I'm saying he's got her face.

Dead like she sat on like uh the fireplace or whatever. Okay. And he's got her face smushed like this against the wall. Yeah. He's railing her, bro. Fuck. And I was like This is my dream! Fuck! Yo! Fuck! This is my dream! I already know that's gonna cause some drama in the ranch. Bro, to be fair. It's interesting as well, yeah, because I basically after that she gives it insight to say that like this is not their first rodeo.

Like they've been fucking. But she just wants cock from him. She doesn't want anything else. So she's she turns to him. After that. He loses he loses himself in the tomb. Yeah. And he's like, Oh, let's go for a drink later, let's do that, she do that. And she was like, You always ruin it. Do you know what she said? You always fucking ruin it. And then she said, You know what as well? I always every time like she says something along the lines of I'm paraphrasing, but she basically said

The nostalgia the nostalgia in me always makes me remember your dick's bigger than it is. And then I remember. And she walks off. Wow. Wow. I was like, I'm not hearing that. Especially when I've just nut and I'm vulnerable. Vulnerable's the word. Yeah, when I'm vulnerable because he didn't even get undressed. So his trousers and his ankles

His trousers boxes at his ankles. He's just he's he's got his bare ass out trying to clean up. And she's like, I always remember your dick to be bigger than it is. Must be the nostalgia. I couldn't hear that. Wow. He needs to stop ruining it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Facts. He needs to stop ruining it, bro. Because you got a good situation. I know, but I know. I know. Yeah, and sometimes if you want more, I know you need more because you're perfect for me. Fam. We belong together. Fuck.

Yeah, you can't just keep giving me fantastic pussy. And expect me to just act like I don't care because I do care. I love you. I want you and this rock. Bro, I want it all. I want it all. I might have to lock in. I might have to lock in. Yeah, it's good. Um I have to apologize about something. Mm-hmm.

It's not that deep. Oh okay. Um but I made a statement a few episodes I God knows how many episodes ago now. Um we spoke about this yesterday, I don't know if you remember. I slated party next door number four. Oh, thank God, yes. I'm glad you brought this up because I forgot you did mention it yesterday and I forgot about it and I'm ready for this conversation. So God knows how many episodes ago I said well James said he was listening to Party Next Or four and I was like you know what

Don't like the album, terrible, it's not like it's old stuff, this, that and the other, blah, blah, blah. And I think I remember you saying, Oh, it must have been the mood you were listening to in or maybe just what, it wasn't the right time or blah blah blah And I was like, no, no, no, no, no. Heard all that song and dance before it's terrible, it's terrible, it's terrible, it's terrible. I hate it. So, when we're in America

Um it was around the time like I like to pack early so I know that I'm sorted, I don't need to rush, blah blah'cause I like my I I prioritize my sleep. Yeah. Yeah. I prioritise my sleep. So for some reason my mind went to PND, but I didn't go PND Let me play number four. I just went to PND, hit shuffle, and press play. Obviously, it brought back the memories of all his old stuff. Like because I'm a I was a huge Pi Nextdoor fan. So I was thinking fucking hell, this motherfucker had.

Bangers. Yeah, bro. Bangers. And I'm just there, I'm just dancing, front of my clothes, dancing, dancing, dancing. And then I hear I'm hearing songs. I've never really heard before. And you know them ones where you run to your phone and like, what is that? Yeah, yeah, 100%. So I've got four, I can I think I can read them off from here. Four main ones that stuck with me. Lose my mind.

Yep. Make it in the morning. Yep. I think stuck in my ways. Yep. And keep going, keep going, keep going. Um there's one more. There is one more that's on my like. Jesus wept. It's um it's unfair how good it is.

Um is it for certain? It better be for certain. Lose my mind, stuck in my ways, make it in the morning. No, sorry, but I'm outside. For certain has it hasn't reached a thingy, but I love for certain. Probably because I'm not deep I'm deep in the other ones more than I'm deep in that one. But those four Ah Yeah. Bro, I every morning I'm there just uh lose my mind. Yeah. Yeah, chill two bitches at one time.

Tune, tune, tune. One half Spanish and one half white. Oh come on, man. Yeah, it's it's it's a good album. It's a good album. So I I apologize, I take it it's just the way Again he glides on these beads, bro. It's so good. It's actually so good. I'm glad bro, because I fucking love it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like and I when I first first heard it, I charged it. I was like, I'm not feeling this at all. Yeah. You you you're

Swindling us with the album art. Yes. You gave us that album art thinking, Oh, this is gonna hit. Yes. And we haven't seen you in years. Yes. Um And then I I breezed through it the first ever time and I was like, nah, not feeling it. And then randomly, Spotify was just gifting me tracks. Okay. Before I added anything I liked, I was just going on like a random playlist and I think for certain was on there. Um stuck in my ways.

Her old friends I like as well. Okay. Um and a few other ones and I was like I think it was what like similar. Once you hit four bangers on an album, you're like, this is a good album. Yeah, this is a good album. I can't remember which one. It's one of the liked ones I've said. He's saying stuff along the lines of She got diamond in her ear, diamond in her ear. Even gonna uh when he says that I'm thinking, come on, man, this bangs, this bangs, it does bang.

It fucking. It does bangs, bro. So I'm really happy you said that. I take it back. I take it back, man. But yeah, P and D man. Right, before we finish, you said you got some United stuff to talk about. Get off your chest. So the climax of this episode, right?

Man United well first of all I'm happy the Premier League season is back. The Premier League started at a perfect time because we had landed back from America on the Thursday. The Premier League started on the Friday. Our f our game was the first game of the Premier League season. It was a Friday, eight PM. I was like, Okay, boom, let's see what our new signings have to offer our or to bring to our table. So we've signed I think five people. In pivotal positions where we've needed them, right?

Um and our first game was against Fulham at home. It was a scrape of a win. With our new striker coming on a like eightieth minute scoring line like the eighty seventh. Okay. It was a scrape of a win but What's your manager's situation? Has that changed at all? No no no. We'll get there. Oh god. We'll get there, we'll get it, we'll get there, we'll get there.

All right, cool, cool. I know nothing. Yeah, cool, cool, cool, cool. We'll go there. So Eric Ten Hag is his name. Um he well, after that match I was like, uh this isn't convincing, but I'm still happy with the three points because

It's a good way to start the season, you know. Momentum, motivation, yada yada yada yada. Right. Now, our second game is against Brighton and Brighton are at home, we're away. We lose that game two one, but We the way we play is better than I've expected us in the past in the previous season.

And we actually started to win that game two one by the game, the last goal got called called offside and then Brighton won it in the last well one of the last minutes. So it was it was unfortunate but we could have and should have done better. We actually had two goals um Given offside. So we could have won the game, potentially won the game 3-1, but it was given offside. Neither here nor there.

Right. So yesterday, obviously this episode comes out today. Yesterday we were in Sweden. I couldn't watch the game, so I tried to stream on my phone. United at home versus Liverpool. Those that know, no. That is Clash of the Titans. Biggest rivalry, but I think it's a bigger rivalry than Man New City. Oh damn, right? Yeah. Scouses and Manchester they hate each other. Yeah. When it comes to the football, they hate each other. Mm-hmm.

And we're at home and we have started our few we've started our new um signings in the right positions and we're like okay let Let's see what we do at home in front of the new lights, the new ish stadium and the new own. So from the stream I'm watching, the first 10 minutes, we're playing decent football, like we're passing possession, tiki-tacker, boom, boom. I'm thinking.

Don't ginger me too much. I'm liking what I'm seeing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Say less. Right, boom. I can already see Ah dread. I can already see I can see the score. Yeah, say less. Yeah, yeah, the score. Spoiler, we lost three now. Yeah. We lost three now. Um I'm thinking, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're playing all right, we're playing all right, we're playing all right, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

Um a mistake happens and they end up scoring, but luckily enough, uh Liverpool's goal got um called offside. They're like, Okay, cool. We're calm, we're calm, we're calm. And I've said this to you or I've said this to us you Um during last season I I've been talking about Casemiro. Mm-hmm. He is or has been such a pivotal player in Real Madrid for Brazil and I would say some stages of his um first season at United. He made two blunders.

So he's a central defensive midfielder. So he his position is just in front of our four defenders. He is the spine to either A help us attack forward or B protect the defence. Mm-hmm. There are times where this guy would hold on to the ball way too much and or give a dead pass away. Mm-hmm. This happened twice. Casemiro lost the ball twice in the first half. They scored twice from that goal. Okay.

From that point, I charged the stream. Because there's no I'm apart from it frustrating me, the stream wasn't um good enough anyway. So I was like, I'm not even gonna watch a haphazard United match. I'm just gonna charge the whole team. I'm like, okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. And I'm sitting there, you know, just hoping and praying like'cause I've got the notifications on my phone.

If I see a sky sports notification I'm thinking, Oh, please be united, please be united, please be united And it was a guy called uh Luis Diaz, he's there, he plays left wing, he scored twice in the first half and I was thinking, damn and it was back to back as well. So yeah, it was it was at y at Old Trafford as well. It it It's so jarring. I'm sorry, dude. So jarring. And it's three zip. Three zip at home is brazy. Um what's annoying is the delusion that

o of what Eric Ten Hag says like post match. Mm-hmm. And it's like, how He r he's reverting back to last season or the last couple of season or his tenure in United. He's won two trophies in two seasons. He's saying behind Man City We as United have won more trophies than anyone else. So basically telling all the reporters to shut up. And I'm thinking.

I get where you're coming from, but that's the wrong argument right now. Yeah, yeah. Like we're talking about today's performance. Big man. We wanna win matches. We wanna win matches. We're not talking about medals and honours we've won last two seasons. Yeah, yeah, fuck that. We need to win. We signed five, six people. We've scored one goal in three games.

Two goals in three games, what are we on? What we talking about, big man? Yes, we have injuries, everyone has injuries. Yeah. But I was saying this to Toby not too long ago. I feel like so there's a guy called um you might know him, Reed Van Istoro. Mm-hmm.

He used to play for United back a day. Oh I remember that's when I supported New United. That's what that's when I was that was the United That was my childhood. Yeah, that was the United. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was solidarity was there. Um Wow, Vanessa was my hair bro. I could score. Fuck in my childhood. But in heat, Dutch, Dutch king. Anyway.

He is now our name as well. He is now our assistant manager. Oh, okay. So he just won under um Eric Ten Hag. Oh man, Horn of Famer. My prophecy is they're gonna let Eric Ten Hag go. soon and and bring up bump up Vanessa because one he understands The pla he knows I think he knows how to galvanize the team.

Pure because he's a he's an ex player, he's won for United, he's got respect, he's got respect of the fans, he understands what he's doing because he was a striker. You know, so there are certain things where you can see like, Okay, boom, boom. Um managerial change can bring about greatness. And that happens with pretty much almost every Premier League team. If you change your manager, you're expecting a change.

And when you do change your manager, the first game that they do play is always very, very insightful and good to watch as a as the fan of the team or as a neutral. It's always fun to see. I saw a tweet. It must have been yesterday because it was post the Liverpool lock.

Someone said of for context, they su they can fire managers at any given point. But that sometimes they give you to Christmas just to see how you're going, or if it's just after Christmas, they ling you off. Yeah. So man said Forget Christmas, this donnie ain't gonna make it to Halloween.

Who said that? It was a tweet. Oh it's sorry, it was a tweet. He's not gonna make it to Halloween. That's next month. Damn. Not gonna make it to Halloween. I was like, it's plausible. Because Three games in, scored two goals. One one, three points. I think we're fourteenth in the table. Yikes. All of our peers are winning. Yikes. All of our peers are winning. And this is the same story I've been preaching since last season. I can't die like this.

14th! 14th, James! After three games. Three games. I'm sorry, bro. That's that's vile. It is vile. I'm sorry, it is vile. Well, one thing I would like to say is Touch wood, it can only go up from here. And I know we've been doing this show for a long time now. Touch wood again. Just to make sure. We've been doing the show for a long time now, and as you should.

as a red bleeding United supporter, you set expectations for every season. Facts. This season you haven't done that. And it's clearly for the best. Every season you come in and be like, we're gonna win and here's why. Mm-hmm. And

I appreciate you being present in the moment and just saying it as it is. And you're disappointed as and you deserve to be disappointed. But I'm hoping, yes, it's up from here. It has to be man, because all I'm doing is hoping and praying at the moment because it I can't remember the last time

before a United kickoff where I was confident. Mm. Regardless of who we play. Because the Premier League is so tough this it's been getting tougher every year. Yeah, I've heard. Every single year. So regardless of who you play, I'm thinking, oh, they might spin us today, you know. That's a that's a Horrible way. Brother. That's a horrible way to experience sport. Every week. Every week. I'm looking at the lineup thinking

On paper we should clean up, but on the other hand, the team are facing they've got ballers. Speaking of, this is way out when it was happening, we weren't recording, so I couldn't speak of this. It happened a while ago. That's how I feel. In the UFC now. It doesn't happen every week, it happens once like once a year, maybe twice a year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With my brother and favorite fighter of all time, fucking starbender.

I can't go through this anymore. When was he when was the last time he fought? Two weeks ago. Okay. And he lost. Okay. He's not got a pellet anymore. He lost them last year or earlier this year, no? Who did he lose against? Right. Duplice. Duplice. Um so basically, right? Israel Adesonia. My boy, yeah? My favorite fighter of all time. Yeah. Ride or die, yeah?

Ha Caim like his career has been sensational in the UFC. Yeah. His love of anime again is sensational. Yeah. His just style and everything, his technique, like he's my favorite fighter. And Again, like how you felt in like uh manu glory days.

Just turn up and expect a dub. Yeah, expect victory. Yeah, you expect victory and you're just like you're not even wondering, oh I hope he wins. It's just how fast are we gonna win? Yeah, how many goals are we gonna score? How much are we gonna win by him? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now Bye-bye.

So obviously he he fought um the first the the first bad loss. He was basically he was the middleweight champion for ages. Yeah he was reigning supreme for ages. Yeah no one could touch him. It was becoming a joke. So then I told you they had to recruit Um that fucking Brazilian bastard. Um the fuck is his name again now? Um Piet Del No it's uh Alex uh Pereira. Alex Pereira Pereira, yeah, it was a piece item, yeah.

They they got him in there to take my boy out and he did take my boy out and I nearly cried. But then they had the rematch and it was one of the best comeback stories of all time. Okay. So Starbender, bang, got it again. Mm-hmm. Gassed, gassed, gassed, gassed, gassed. Then out of nowhere, he fights Sean Strickland, who's been like a a strong competitor in the middleweight for years. Mm-hmm. To this day I've not watched that fight and I refuse to watch that fight. Okay. Because Strickland

Put a workshop on my boy. Really? A workshop? That's when you say you refuse to watch it, that's how I feel when United lose and I'd watch Match of the Day. I s I fast forward. I skipped through the highlights. Yeah, I fast forward that and I couldn't believe what I saw. I've not watched that fight and I refuse to watch that fucking fight. It was, oh my god. It was it was Horrid. This now, so then Sean Strickland then gets smacked up by DuPlice.

And they've had a bit of rivalry. They've had um Starbender and Duplece have had a a bit of rivalry because Duplece is South African. Yes. And he said somet he made a comment a little while ago basically saying All the African champions at that time there was three African champions. Oh yeah. Starbender Usman Usman and uh Ungano. Yeah. And none of them live in Africa. So at the time

He was like, it's time for a real African to have um he's like basically said something along the lines of like it's time for a real African to have the belt and bring the thing home to Africa. So Stalbern is like, Swear, real African, are you mad, bro? So they had this whole rivalry for ages. Yeah. So this fight's been cooking for like over a year now. Okay. And then I expected my boy to go in there.

Yeah, I know he's had a rocky couple years now with all of this this stuff. Yeah. And I was like, right, let's go get this belt back once and for all. Because it's too much back and forth, back and forth. So obviously so not obviously, but do please prior to this match was already the champion. So pr he yeah. So Starbender's coming in, lost to Strickland. Yeah. Um He's now down he's now uh he's lost to Strickland, so he's down. Then

Strickland loses the b Strickland gets the belt. Strickland loses the belt. Duplice is now the champion. I see. Okay. So the when they were having this this beef, Duplis wasn't even the champion. I'm with you. Okay. Alex Alex Pereira's moved up to um light heavyweight now. Okay. And he's doing stuff over there. Oh yeah. He's a champion and it's scary. Oh okay. He's doing stuff over there. Okay.

So he's doing his thing over there. He's left the middleweight division alone and we're all grateful for it. We're all like we're all one of them ones where it's like Yeah, my boy smacked you up. Yeah. But please just go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You did what you came to do, just leave us alone. You're it's too much. Yeah. So he's gone up to like heavyweight and he's just been starching everyone up there. So we've got our division back. Strickland

Fucking did something unforgivable to my boy, but we're like, all right, cool. He's not the champion anymore anyway. We don't have to deal with that anymore. Yes, okay. So, Izzy, let's get in there, let's get our head right, let's deal with this guy who's talking smack on Africa now.

He went in there and uh that was uh it was in Australia I think they fought as well, which I'm pretty sure was when he first won his belt. Starbender first won his belt Australia. So this was a big deal. Okay. And my boy went in there Trained well, executed well, and he was put in on a clinic. And I was like, We're back to regular viewership. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go Izzy. Okay. Put this boy in his grave. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Third or fourth round, I can't remember. They had a little tussle. Everything was fine. Had a little tussle. DDP put my boy in a rear naked choke. I said, get out. I was screaming at the TV, get out of there! Because that's not my that's not his strong suit. He can take care of himself, but yeah, wrestling and grappling is not his strong suit. So as soon as I put saw it with that arm around his neck, I said, Izzy, please get out of there!

Gotta Brother, it was locked on tight. And my boy tapped, man. He tapped. And again we have to go through this. We have to go through this again, bro. This rise to glory again, bro. And he's getting further and further away from it. Yeah. And It what pissed me off even more is the next day The South African community were in my DMs talking shit. Really? Bro? Because they know I love Izzy. Okay. They said, fu they said DDP, DDP, fuck you. Bare South African flags. And this is what

Uh I hadn't even had time to like process what happened. I'm opening my DMs, DDP, fuck you. Me! What did I I'm a fan of the sport. Man said fuck you, bro. Bear essa flags. And I was like, and I love South Africa. Flags. Come on, man. Oh, that's hilarious. Bro, it upset me. What was his um post match? Like review analysis was very humble in defeat. Okay. He he always is. Yeah. This is why we love him, man. Yeah. He was very humble in defeat, gave all the props to um Duplice. And I was just like

But I ju I I just can't anymore. Yeah. I can and I will continue to but I just can't. I it's really I I'm in the position now where I like now what? Every fight I have to be scared? Yeah. Is there no comfort? Yeah. Can't I just what it can't I enjoy a main event and just be like, this is a fun Sunday evening. This is how I like to spend my evenings. At least it's not weekly. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And that's what I'm saying. This is twice a year for me. Yeah. Yeah. This? Yeah. Weekly.
