Yeah, yeah. Okay. Right family, do not panic. We're gonna look after you. Let's spin the wheel and find out how much you're playing. There we go. Nice, very shiny. Anywhere from The lower the amount, the easier they get, as I like to say, you family are playing for nine hundred and seventy five Euros.

That'll do. Boys, imagine you can get new football kits, you can get like loads of Robux. Is that what they're called for Roblox? R possibly. Possibly, maybe not really. Okay. Okay guys, so what we'll do is we'll stick forty nine seconds on the clock. I'll ask you seven questions in that time. Oh, and even if the others help, if you shouted out the answer just so we have one clear name. Uh so there's no confusion and hopefully you'll get the nine hundred and seventy five quid in cash.

Okay people, let's do this. The clock starts now. What city in America is often referred to as Lalaland?

Now you did say did you say the Rocky Moorities cover uh two countries used to Canada and America. America's technically a continent. We would have needed the United States for America or possibly. No, we wouldn't apparently No okay we would Oh I'd be too picky.

S so the the fi the Fifth Avenue thing unfortunately got you. We got Los Angeles and then it was Rodo Drive.

Get you over to a Rodeo Drive, guys, so Tracy can shop. Lovely talking to you. Yeah. Thank you for playing. Bye bye. We would have taken America, yeah. But you come back very straight. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Yeah.

Supermarket Shopping Pet Peeves

We've been talking about supermarkets and what's going on in supermarkets. Uh apparently why do they keep moving your favourite products around and that's apparently so they have to go and look for them and you might just inadvertently buy something else that you didn't need as we've all done. Uh and we've had many people oh eight seven one double eight trouble zero eight. What's happening is saying about their Supermarket pet hates are the little rats. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You want more humans.

Yeah, I want more humans at Tills. Yeah. And uh Nicole wants to get in on this. It drives me absolutely insane when you have just a small trolley of stuff and you get up to the tail. Yeah. And then somebody behind you goes, Oh, do you mind if I get in front of you? And it looks like they just have a little basket but then they pull out under a basket from behind them. And then the two baskets and then their family joins them. Yeah. Next to Valley are letting ten people in front of you.

Yeah. I I I uh it's happened to me but I will ask the person to show me what they have. Oh dear. If I've got and they say, Can I just jump I've just got this one item, I'll say show me. Yeah, but what if they had some personal hygiene products in there that they didn't want to show you that maybe a lady would have? Uh then I'd go go to the ladies' area over there, please, then. There's no ladies area in the queue. Go to the ladies' queue. Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok Yeah. Yeah, that'd be funny.

No, we wouldn't at all and don't start that. Ha ha ha. We will we will be cancelled together. Uh okay, we're gonna go full round here. Okay. Full round from Shane. Go Shane. Go. So one of the pet hates of mine is and has been for years is when you go into a supermarket

You have to load your trolley up with all your products or whatever. You come up to the two, you have to offload the trolley, put it on the conveyor belt, push it through, then you have to put it back in put it into bags, put it back into your trolley. Yeah. So you're handling it twice now, then you go down to your car. Oh wow. You put it in the boots of your car in the bags. Then you go home.

And then you have to bring the bags in, then you have to offload the bags and put all the the goods into whatever appropriate places they need to go. Now that to me is a charm. Mm-hmm. Half. That's tough going. Yeah. No one should have to do that. You're handling things twice, three times. Yeah.

And not to mention Mrs. Megan's at the milk counter and you ca you're trying to get the milk and you can't get in past her'cause she's talking to Mrs. Maloney there and the two of them are yapping and yapping. That's me. It's great, isn't it? Excuse me, this is where I do my best work. It's quite because the vegetable and the and the bread are the first thing when you walk into a shop. And that's when Mrs. Maloney and Mrs. Megan first spot each other. And there's too much talk.

Lads Lads just body pump and go, Hey, so you do it. And off we move. No, I I don't think guys are as good at directing a trolley around the supermarket. Like a lot of men, like you, uh you and I might be going shopping this week. I might be helping you do your weekly shop. Yeah, yeah. And uh I have a feeling that you would just leave your trolley in the middle of the aisle and then just walk across. Actually, do you know what? I do that a lot actually.

I I am gonna report back and tell you what he's like in the supermarket once we've done your weekly shop. I do donuts sometimes down the biscuit aisle. What do you mean you do donuts? Do you know when your c y your car spins zzz around, I'll do it with the trolley. Why did you do that? Uh just a crack. There's never anyone down the biscuit aisle that knows me, so it's a good place to do it.

Have you ever been very tempted and I have kind of done that where you kind of you lean over your trolley and you just fly. I've done that all the time. I always get this need to lean on my trolley and just kind of And have a little get a wheelie down here. Just be careful sometimes it'll pop up and smack you in the face. Right. That's that mark there. See that mark? ご視聴ありがとうございました Yeah, yeah. Super quinmark.

The Fruit Sniffing and Touching Debate

The food and germ experts have sent out a warning to shoppers. Uh stop handling, caressing, touching and sniffing food on supermarket shelves. There's no need for it. People who touch food in supermarkets. I can wait a second. Yes. Did you say sniff? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That is disgusting. Okay. Please tell me look look at me. Look at me. You don't sniff for a There's no... You don't sniff.

My my my my other senses are strong enough that I don't have to butt That's just got But No, no, no. Disgusting. If you think something's on the turn you may have to do. That's all I'm saying. No, you can't sniff whatever you want. If it's there in the open, it's there to be sniffed. So COVID spread. No, it's not. It is Rise to sleep. Easy snip. So but I I I sorry I disagree with them because I think being

the person I am, quite tactile, um, that if I'm buying veg, you need to you need to touch it. You need to see No, I don't I never touch your bell paper. Aw, give it to me. I don't touch anything and I'm an i and I'm an inappropriate hugger. But when it comes to shopping I I know by the look of us I don't touch it, I don't sniff it, I don't squeeze it I just buy it.

No, so the the point and this is the big thing about bell peppers and let me just tell you this. People go for shiny bell peppers, uh uh, they're not the good ones. Go for the matte finish rather than the gloss finish on your bell pepper, right? Oh a bell, I can spot a good bell pepper f I swear to god in my life. Yeah, but underneath there might be it just a it might be a little bit squidgy. You don't need to sniff her. No, but you need to. No you d no careful nobody. Need to just check it.

We don't need to do that to the pepper. It's like buying a car, you know when you kick the wheels. You don't kick a wheel of a car. Uh so look I'm saying that I think to be honest. I think it's a good thing. And hang on. Hang on. Vegetables have exposed themselves are exposed, if you know what I mean. Like they're in the open, they're not packaged. But just'cause they're in the open. I found a game! What would you do with the un with an uncooked chicken?

What do you mean the top ten years? I don't touch a chicken. We don't know like we're just touching f stop. There's not chickens aren't exposed, chickens are covered as in Yeah, but I'd say you have a good old sniff of the chicken. Yes. No, see that. And that's what they mean. You have to drop the subject. You can look at me, I'm actually crying. I'm actually getting so frustrated, I'm crying. You cannot go around squishing other people's shopping. Avocado. That's all I was saying.

No, you you should you should know listen, there's nothing wrong with your eyesight. You should know by the colour of of an avocado that it's okay. No, no, it's only by the touch of the squeeze whether you know it's yours. For you. Everyone has a different sense of what they want from Seriously, everyone knows that. I'm actually gonna phone the guards. Thank you. I am. I am. I am. Shelley used to be a big squeezer, right? Oh and then something happened.

Hẹn gặp lại các bạn trong những video tiếp theo. Morning, Column and Lucy. I just want to let you know, Colum, in case you are still feeling your fruit. Yes. There is a very, very downside to feeling stuff and touching stuff. I haven't gone as far as sniffing it. I was in Dunes recently and picked up a piece of fruit to have a little feel because I am a feeler toucher. Thank you. And gave a little squeeze and ended up with juice all over me because it wasn't quite um Yeah.

Let's just say and I was a little shade of green afterwards. So definitely leave it on the shelf. Leave it on the shelf. Look with your eyes. Feel with your eyes. Definitely don't touch squashy, squashy. Have an amazing day, guys. It's crazy, it's crazy. Probably squeeze the kiwis. He and he oversqueezed i before you arrived and then you got the final squeeze in the face. Underneath this message it just says Tom gives his wife's avocados a gentle squeeze.

Morning guys, Tom here. I totally agree with you Column regarding the avocados. I don't actually eat'em but my partner does and obviously too green and they're too hard. Perfect texture mm because otherwise you're buying something that's gone all brown and black inside and you're just throwing it in the recycling bin. Thank you. So yeah, avocados needs a a gentle squeeze without a shadow of a doubt.

Yeah, gentle squeeze. But Tom, what's happened is Connor's ruining vegetables, good vegetables in supermarkets and the last one exploded in Shelley's face. That w wasn't me. But now Eileen Eileen is a mango toucher. Yeah, appreciate it. I'm sorry now Lucy, but I have to bring a column this morning. feel the avocados. They could look beautiful. Yes. Squeeze the and they could be pure rot. Same with mangoes. Mangoes. You have to look lovely and shiny on the outside, but it could be pure

a mess and insight. You have to feel'em. I'm sorry, Lucy. Column is right. Like, oh, God. So I don't know, I don't know about you people. No wait a sec. They are our friends. That doesn't mean I can't judge them quietly.

Boyzone's Comeback and Tour Insights

Well Orle uh Orle wants to talk about kids in the supermarket. Oh Good morning lads. Um I'm very much enjoying the fact that you're here arguing over and touch and sniff um All that. There's children who are licking them. They're licking the fruits, they're licking the vegetables, which is why you should always wash. Who's looking first? Who is looking for? Same those kids going around supermarkets in gangs now, just licking vegetables. My future ex husband is on the line. Keith Joffy.

How exciting June the sixth, next year. Yeah. It's everything. Well what do you wanna know that you don't already know? Well boys owner um boys owner coming back together. It was never supposed to be, it was never supposed to happen, it wasn't a plan, it wasn't you know, in i it's it's just literally the success.

of the documentary has you know, sp spurred on various different promoters and agents and people to to come at us and and and make us all sorts of different offers and There was plenty of offers made. There was plenty of touring offers made. And it just you know, it just wasn't right. We we kinda hung up the dancing chills back in two thousand and nineteen with five nights in the palladium in London and we kinda thought that was it, we were done. And um somebody just came up with this

Amazing idea of one last hurrah, one for the road, a big stadium a big stadium show in London and in the Emirates Stadium in London. So uh we're we're very, very excited. It's it's um it's great. Now Ronan has said that there's no new music, it's not a reunion, you're not getting back together and you can't tour because of your bad knees. Ha. Ha ha No. I know your knees are not going to be a little bit more. Sorry, true. What part of that story was true?

Yeah one part, only one part. Mikey, he wasn't at the press conference. Will he be gigging with you guys? Yeah, yeah, he was there with us at yesterday. He's uh he's in all the promotional photographs. Ah good. Okay. with his own things at the moment, his own personal issues at the moment, so he wasn't at the press conference, but he was uh he was there for all the photos at the stadium yesterday.

Oh good. Well look he's shy, you know, like that it doesn't doesn't suit everybody the whole time, fairness. So And every article I've read this morning, right, Keith, there's a sort of a little byline at the end going, Ooh, is somebody talking about Crow Park next year? I mean The if the interest was there, would you guys love to do a big venue in in Ireland? Like one for the road in Ireland. Uh look, absolutely, a hundred percent, of course we would. I mean

Boyzone Boyzone missed the the opportunity back in the heyday to play Crow Park. You know Crow Park is on the north side of Dublin and and we all grew up on the north side of Dublin just kilometers down the road. But it never happens for Boyso. And I know it did happen for Westlife on on a few occasions. Like I know it happened for Westlife

Which um which is which is great for them, but it never happened for us. We did we did play the RDS a couple of times. I think they were the biggest venues that we played in Ireland in Dublin. Right. Um but look no, there's no plans for that. You know, um Crook Park. I'm listening. We're gonna make this happen. We're gonna make this happen. I don't know. No, I d I I I don't know. I mean Kok co I mean the heyday is behind us guys, you know, we're very, very lucky and very Thank you.

It's not. It's just the beginning. One question, Keith, that some people will ask, uh because in light of the documentaries which we I we've spoken to you about uh afterwards were absolutely brilliant. Um the is is the is Louis in this at all or is Louis out of the mix? Yeah.

Louis hasn't been in the mix for a long, long time. Right. You know, even when Boyzone third in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen and in twenty thirteen. Louis hasn't been part of the mix for a long, long time. You know, when Boy Zone first got back together in two thousand and seven two thousand and eight. Lou Louie was part of our our team then but um you know Lou as it it's fa as it's famously known, Ronan and Louie kinda went their separate ways and um that ultimately kind of made it

That Boyzone and Louis went their separate ways. But I I have a good relationship with Louis and you know, we talk all the time and we're mates, but no Louis has nothing to do with

Louis Walsh's Antics and Birthday

That means sorry, the the reason I asked you that means then there's space for a manager, Keith. Managers, managers. We said we pitched together, didn't we? We said we'd be together. Yeah, yeah. Okay, good. We were we we were slagging yesterday, you were asking me the capacity and we were saying back in the day with Louie, if the venue held forty five thousand, there'd be forty six thousand on the guest list. Oh yes, oh yes, we all know that.

All you had to do, all you had to do was ring Louie Walsh's office number and ask him could you get a meet and greet and he'd put you on the meet and greet list. That's all you had to do. Myself and Ronan Keaton had um we had two wedding parties down at Powers Court years ago. A big hello magazine or okay magazine style shoot. 'Cause Roland went off to get married in Nevis and I went off to get married in in Vegas. Yeah.

So we got we came back and we had a massive wedding party in Ireland and um I think there was the it catered for five hundred people but we didn't have that many family or friends. We could never amount to five hundred people. And uh the party had seven hundred people there and four hundred of them we didn't know, they were guests of Louis. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Anybody that was in Ireland at the time, anybody that was on the late show that night was invited out. Anybody anybody that was anybody that was playing the Rochine Dove and Galway was invited to the wedding, you know? Yes, and he will never change. Now, before we let you go, we know what day it is today. And Do you know? Yeah, yeah. Just before we say the big happy birthday, we have some boys that want to sing for you. Yeah. Thank you. Happy birthday to you.
