•Jan 30, 20263 months agoSummary
The hosts discuss their holiday travels across Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Singapore, UK) and Australia, sharing detailed food experiences, cultural observations, and personal adventures. They also cover recent life updates including Connor's McLaren F1 facility visit, attending a wedding, moving to a new house in Japan, and upcoming eye surgery.
Insights
- Southeast Asian food culture emphasizes flavor maximalism and regional variation compared to Japanese cuisine's subtle minimalism, creating distinct culinary identities within countries
- Local insider knowledge is critical for authentic travel experiences in Southeast Asia, as tourist-facing establishments often differ significantly from local favorites
- Premium experiences (hospitality seating, theme parks) in the UK are significantly more expensive than equivalent offerings in Asia and Japan, with diminishing returns on quality
- Medical and dental service quality in Japan varies significantly; communication and explanation are critical factors in patient satisfaction, often more important than clinical competence
- Recognizing content creators in professional/medical settings creates awkward social dynamics that neither party is prepared to navigate
Trends
Japanese cultural influence expanding globally through retail chains (Uniqlo, Muji) with consistent pricing strategies across marketsAI-generated imagery becoming normalized in consumer gift-giving without explicit disclosure, raising authenticity concernsElective eye surgery (ICL) gaining popularity among content creators and younger demographics as lifestyle enhancementDry January movement adoption among younger professionals as health optimization trendRegional cuisine variation within single countries becoming travel differentiator rather than country-level cuisine being primary draw

It just curls around my fingers just put all down. Bro is steaming. Anyway, hey, welcome back to another episode of the Trash Days 4C. Stop touching the slime, gunt. I should run out. I'm steaming with it. Anyway, it's trash taste. I'm Joey and I'm with Gunt Connor as always. Hello. You've got the full coat on today. I'm freezing. It's so cold. You've got a T-shirt underneath. Yeah. Yeah, I foolishly forgot to bring a sweater. Who do you have anything? So I'm wearing the full, like, the fuck boy jacket. Is that the new drip you got? No, I got this a while back. It's a combo bebop. Oh, no. It's from Ludwig's company. I don't have the combo bebop. Oh, cool. I thought I recognized it from the spike coat in the... Fair enough, you did a good job. Good coat. It's good coat. It's a... It's a... I hate to give any credit, but it's an ice jacket. It's very comfy. So to get a little bit of meta, it's been a while since we've come in to record. We've done a bunch of things over the holidays. We're ruining the Trash Taste Contanarity by time. My bad. I think they hate it when they find out. Why did they hate it? They hate it when we are, like, clearly recording something very long ago. But this one's going to be pretty good. Yeah, this one isn't you. So welcome back, guys. Happy New Year. Happy New Year. Merry Christmas. Happy holidays. Happy holidays. Yes, there you go. Yes, there you go. The rolling close of here. I'm not walking like you're back. That's the one in the Lord. Starting to 2020, he's six with the same brain cell moment there. What did you guys get up to? I'm not sure. Yeah. Sick. Just in the podcast. Fucking getting pissed drunk every day, innit? True. God, I drank so much alcohol over Christmas. It wasn't funny. I had to actually go dry January. How much again? How much it was dry January? Dry January. Yeah, man. What do you mean dry January? Because of the amount of alcohol that was in my system during the sample. You got a weenoff it. Yep. Do mildly hard January. Relatively hard. Well, we don't go cold turkey here on trash. No, no, I think I go cold turkey. But this is why I'm trying to hang out with you this month. I'm like, what a fucking. This is the most boring month. Nothing happens in January. Yeah. This is why we should drink the most in January. Oh, I'm sorry. Didn't like who put January as like the top tier month on our tier list, which I'm still sold to you about. I like January. Because there's nothing I'm still sold to you. I'm not. That's why we should drink. Nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. I don't know if you remember. I remember. We should drink. Or wear the drinks then. I'm sorry. You know, congratulations on dry January. Yeah. Well, I say dry January. I mean, like, I've had, I've gone out to drink once this month, so far. I'm almost at the end of the month, which to me is a big cut. Do you do, when you say dry January, you like, if someone asks you out, you're like, no, or is it more like, I'm not trying to plan anything. I'm not trying to do anything. If someone asks me out, I might join. It's for me. It's like, no, no, for me, it's more like if I'm out, for example, with some friends, I'm not either drinking like a lot or I'm not drinking at all sometimes. It's right. Nothing happened in January anyway. So, you know, it's like, there's no opportunities to do that. I find a way. January is the month for me to like get back into loop of things, because, you know, after the travel, obviously, because I think we're all overseas, right? Yeah. Yeah, we went to the UK. I did drink way too much in the UK. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. That's what the dry January is. Oh my gosh. Yeah, it was bad. I only gained, it's answered your question, go on. I only gained somehow two killers. I'm not tracking. Yeah. I gained two killers. And I thought it was because of the copious amounts of food I ate when I was in Malaysia, which I did eat copious amounts of food. But I also realized I was walking a lot. So I think that canceled it out. I genuinely think the two killers comes from the amount of booze. No, I realized this when you just like, it's not my diet. It's the drinking that we eat again. It's the drinking way. Yeah. There are a couple of hours a day where I go to the gym, walk out, have an immaculate meal, you know, perfect intake of calories. And then I'm like, five beers. It doesn't count, it's a beverage. Dan, like, right, that just doesn't make sense. No. Yeah, I haven't checked. I don't really check. You don't check anymore? No. Do you have a health checkup? I do the health checkup. Yeah. They tell me. But normally, you know, I realized whenever I care about these things, nothing really It fluctuates. It always goes up and down kind of naturally based on just me doing things. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah. But you know, I want so many trips where I had a for too many drinks or you know, when you go back to the free family and the family's like drinking time. Yeah. Yeah. I should go walk a bunch. That normally tends to fix things. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A little bit. A little bit. Yeah. A little bit. A little bit. Yeah. Absolutely. A little bit. So how was Malaysia since you stayed there for a while, right? Yeah. Malaysia mentioned. I was there. Sea gang rise up. I was there for a week. So I was originally there for the convention, which was fucking awesome. Right. But I was like first time in Malaysia. I've started clapping. Yeah. I got to hear the clapping of Nabi's ass cheeks up there. So Nabi and a couple of my other Malaysian friends were there for the convention. So they were like, we'll take you around. So obviously I went to Kuala Lumpur, but I also went down to Malaka, which is like kind of south. And then I went up north to this island off the coast called Penang. So I got to experience like three different areas. Do Malaysia is such an interesting country because, you know, because you have, it's not just like Malaysian culture. There's like a lot of, depending on where you go, there's like Chinese Malay culture. There's like Indian culture. You know, there's, it's just like kind of a mix match of so many different things. And it was so cool because I've never seen a country that I don't know what the political status of Malaysia is to be honest, but like from what I saw in what sense. I don't know. I couldn't give a fuck to be honest, but like it was really interesting. Like there would be some streets where I would walk past where there would be like a Buddhist temple. And then right across the road, there'd be like a mosque. And then halfway down the road, there would be a church. And it's like, it's just really interesting, especially compared to other Southeast Asian countries I've been to where there's just like clearly this like huge mix match of so many different cultures and cuisines and stuff like that. It was really cool to see. I think it's mostly, mostly Muslim, I think. I believe it's mostly. I believe it's mostly Muslim. Yeah. But I mean, what you described is basically just, I mean, look at their, look at the neighbors, you know, Malaysia is positioned in this place where, you know, they're surrounded by countries with, you know, a lot of diverse cultures. Totally. So I think that just kind of like bleeds into it. Yeah, totally. And it definitely bleeds into the cuisine as well because I legitimately had like some incredible Malaysian dishes that I was already kind of aware of. But then I'd I deadass probably had the best non and Tandori chicken I've ever had in my life in Malaysia. Oh shit. I said that outright. One of my friends when we're in Malakko went down. We he took us to this place where it's just like, this is the best fucking Tandori chicken and none you could ever possibly have. I was like, word, okay, I'll be the judge of that. And I had it. We sat outside like right next to the street. Everyone was out and just like eating and this Tandori chicken comes out. Never had that much of a delectable moist chicken in my life. It's Tandori chicken. It's Tandori chicken because so much Tandori chicken I've had. I don't know about you guys. But like a lot of Tandori chicken I've had, especially in like, in Japan, it's pretty mid. Yeah, yeah. It's really dry for the most part, right? Yeah, very dry. Very dry and flaky. But this chicken, it was like, it's been sitting in like a slow cooker. Like this thing was so just juicy. But it had the crispy. But it had the crispy outside as well. I was just like, this is it. Why can't we do this in Japan? This is fucked. And then the non the cheese non one issue I've had with cheese non in Japan is that they fucking overload this shit with cheese. They do turn into a pizza. It turns into a pizza. But this one, it was just right. It was literally took the non and it's just a nice thin layer of cheese. Okay, so it wasn't overpowering top five dishes you had in Malaysia. That's so hard. I legitimately had five meals a day for a week straight. That sounds like a selfie seizure. It was fucked. But I would say the Assam loxah was probably my favorite. Assam loxah. Yeah, because I had to put a picture of that just for the video viewers just so I can get a. So we had three different. What is this? What is this? What is this? So loxah is a Malaysian dish that's like a spicy noodle. This is the one I hear a lot about when Malaysians like you got try loxah. Yeah, the loxah is fucking insane. And I did a novel. That's why I got to Malaysia that there are different regional types of loxah. And within the same type of loxah, different stores do it in slightly different ways. Well, I mean, I think it's just Southeast Asia because you know, how the culture is and how it's been quite spread out as a country. Many of the countries, right? A lot of the dishes don't really have like even in Thailand Vietnam. I think they don't tend to have very strict. This is what goes into ex dish. It's always like. It's like the common in Japan. Yeah, you add whatever. I mean, I mean, northern Thai cuisine is a lot different from southern Thai cuisine. Totally. So it's, you know, I assume it's the same from Malaysia as well. Yeah, yeah, totally. So like when I was in Malakia down in the south, we had this thing called nyonya loxah, which is like the noodles are a lot thinner, but the soup is a lot more like gravy-ish. So kind of like melts kind of together into this really nice dish. But a some loxah, which I had up in Penang, we went to this fucking dingji-ass, clearly like only the locals know because one of Nabi's friends who they're based out in Penang was like you have to go here. This is where all of the Malaysian salaried men go for lunch. Yeah. And I had it and it was fucking amazing. It's why you need an insider. Oh, yeah. You need a guy. You need a guy. I had like what? Five insiders as well as in Malaysia from like all across the country. So I had the best experience I could possibly have. Anywhere you go on the world you need an insider. And South East Asia especially. Yeah, you need a local to go along with you to tell you where to go. 100%. Okay, so this was one. What else do you want? Salm loxah. Oh man. What was the, Nabi? What was the stingray dish? What the heck? Yeah, so it's literally asam as well. Yeah. But it's literally like in Asam sauce, it's literally your eating stingray. Yeah. What the heck is that? So basically it's like this hot pot dish almost where it's kind of the same spicy sour soup as the Asam loxah. But they put stingray in it. And it was the first time I have had stingray. Like you eat, like you can eat. When you ate it, did you say this for Steve? I accidentally. In my vlog, in my vlog, I was like, I'm doing this for Steve. Fuck you. Although I don't think you would have wanted you to eat it. I don't think you'd reward you to murder it. The stingrays. That's not what I'm saying. That's my legacy. Yeah. Is fucking knowledge. Yeah. So I had stingray. Fucking delicious. It legitimately just tastes like white fish. And it's so good with like the veggies and the spicy sour soup on it. Yeah. So far. Like one thing I really appreciate about Malaysian cuisine. And I'd say for the most part, most Southeast Asian cuisine is that it's such like a flavor explosion. Yeah. Especially when you compare it to like traditional Japanese dishes, which couldn't be further from the opposite. Pretty much the opposite of Japanese cuisine. As I said, it's like Japanese cuisine is all about the subtle taste, the natural, the high quality ingredients and Southeast Asia is just like, we're just going to chuck some shit. Yeah. Eat it all. That's just fucking put a fudge, you bunch of spice in it. Yeah. Herbs in it. Just as much flavor as you can get. Oh yeah. Just chuck it all in a dish. That's it. Yeah. That was fucking awesome. So that was really, really good. Also, again, as I mentioned, the Tandoori chicken I had in Malaka. Up in Penang, we went to this night market where it was essentially kind of like an like an omaziti kind of thing. So it's like a lot of stalls that open up at night and then everyone kind of sits out in the corridor or whatever you call it, the pathway. If you're right. And you can just order stuff. And I went up to this, I went up to this noodle stand that was really, really popular. That was run by this like Chinese older couple. And the guy was behind this giant walk, just fucking shes at all. Not a smile on his face, just like fucking. And then the Wi-Fi, I assume, was taking all the orders. As I was standing there watching this guy just shuffling it up and being like, this is going to bang so hard. I looked over and the Chinese lady was just like staring at me like, oh, what? And smiling, just like kind of nodding. And I was with my friend Vincent, because he's Chinese Malaysian, so he can speak Chinese. And she couldn't speak a word of English. So she was saying something in Chinese while looking at my face. But I was like, okay, I don't know what she said. I'm not Chinese. Yeah. So I'm like, I'm not Chinese. So I turned to Vincent. I was like, what did she say? And Vincent asked her to repeat what she said. She said it. Again, looking directly at my face, he starts laughing and he's like, she thinks you're very handsome. Literally, it's literally that meme of like, you know, the food is about to slap when the Chinese old lady calls you handsome. I experienced that. And you know what? It was fucking awesome. It was so cheap too far. Do you remember how much that noodle dish was? It was like four bucks or four and get five. Yeah. Most food. Like we had, when we had this stingray dish, we had this with like, I don't know, 10 other dishes. Yeah, spread of side dishes was probably 10 plates on this table. And it was like 30 bucks. Oh, wow. Like enough to feed couple of families. It was like $30. You fed yourself. We fed ourselves. This is enough food to feed families. And you fed one plus. Yeah. I count as one fan. I mean, I should Japan kind of feels like that right now. That is true. We're not far off. That is true. I can't get like the entire family. I'm like, all right, 10 bucks. That's all to me. Is anybody by cheese? It's like 500. I'm like, okay. Kind of figure that one out. Yeah. Yeah. But overall, I just had a great time. Yeah, what was your favorite place you visited in Malaysia? Oh, that's so hard. We went to this Buddhist temple up in Penang. Do you remember what the name of that was? Yes. We went to this Chinese Malaysian Buddhist temple that was right up on this giant hill. And that had this giant probably 100 meter tall Buddhist statue just sitting on top. Like you can see it from halfway across the city. And that was really, really cool. I forgot the name of it was. Is that the one with the multicolored stairs? No, no, that's another temple in Kuala. But this one is like they have the biggest unfortunately. I didn't get to experience a whole lot of Kuala Lumpur because that was when I was there for the convention. That was the airport. Kuala. I know. I just want to know. It's fine. It's fine. That's fine. Look, it's Singapore airport. I've never I've never been a Singapore airport. I'm just curious. I think Pales in comparison to Singapore. Singapore Airport looks like you know the image of like the utopia. I just feel like airports often say a lot about the country. I guess. Thanks plain. Right. So you go to you go to fucking America, fucking hellhole. Yeah. Just absolutely disorganized. It is meant to be a unhappy place. They want you in and they want you out. When we go to like Switzerland, everything feels like clinical in the Switzerland. Everything is like a macular. That is true. But very minimalist. There's not a lot. And like everything is like really big windows. Very quiet. Yeah. There's not a lot of colors or decoration. It's all meant to be like just as unimpeding as possible. You see the Singapore one. It's like that giant botanical thing. It's all flashy. It's all modern. It's all fucking waterfall. Trying to operate, you know, yeah, like modern aspect in this airport. You know, he throw just a bit shit, isn't it? A bit like the UK. It gets the job done. A bit like the tube. It's just the job done. Yeah. Parachda Gal. Hellhole. Hellhole. Hellhole. Tokyo, Hannida. It's just great. It's clean. It's efficient. It gets you the way you need to go. Yeah. Totally. All right. Yeah. Where the fuck did you get this from? I said. Oh, right. As me and Jordan eating curry, I think it's like rice mixed with curry. You can. So it's like a lot of mixture of. I want to show them my my gluttony power. Oh, that's how that's that's that's a dish that is going to bang that shit bang. Oh, yeah, the fat noodles in the Southeast Asia. I find I miss it. Oh, yeah. This one was really cool. So in Kuala Lumpur, we went to this restaurant. I guess it's a chain where instead they give you curry, like also to different curry and other mixtures, but instead of a plate, they put it on a banana leaf. So they bring it up in on a leaf and you think like, oh, this must be like the placement before they put the plate on, but no, that's the plate. So then you just eat everything with your hands. And then when you don't, you just fold it away. They can chuck it out and it's spider-gratable. I love you doing my hands. Oh, dude. Just great. Just let me just the inefficiency of these utensils. Yeah. These are the other curry place, like the first picture, the other curry place we went to outside had sinks just so you can wash your hands off if you were done. And it was fucking awesome. Prime will about using with your hands. Yeah. Another finale. This is a good idea. Just like, yeah, what a fucking deal with plates. Yeah. And the god knows there's a lot of bottle leaves out there. Yeah, I think it's a good idea. Absolutely. But yeah, overall 10 out of 10 experience, uh, we'd definitely like to go again. And the, the condom is really cool as well. Calm was massive. Um, had a good time. Yeah, that meal was also fantastic. Dude, the Chinese tables are so good. The, the lazy studio. I love it. Rotating ones. Love it. Yeah. That's great. Yeah. It's such a good idea. So I understand why you don't have them at all. Oh, yeah. This is a pinning. Oh my god. I would, yeah. I would tear this off. Yeah. We did tear this off. The, the oyster omelette that we had there was also so fucking good. Yeah. So much good. Like legitimately, every single person who came up to me at the convention was always asking like, how's Malaysian food? I'm like, other than the goat, what else do you want me to say? Like I legitimately did not have a bad meal in the future, which says a lot because I had a lot of different dishes. I tried to cut, how'd you just stomach though? Oh, it's fine. Oh, you've got. Okay. I mean, I think being with a Filipino for a decade has maybe helped my stomach a little bit. I've had a lot of street food in the Southeast Asian now.

Did you enjoy getting me used the best plug in the world? Which the bridge plug. I didn't. I didn't because every hotel was just making it fucking impossible. We had to get another international plug because he didn't have this. Yeah. I looked at the plug. I was like, mother fucker. Dude, I just put one of those like all in one ones a long time ago and it served me so well. Oh yeah, yeah. I have one of those. I just forgot to bring it. Fucking dude. I didn't think about buying at the airport because they they rip you off. Oh yeah. I paid like 50 pounds for it. Yeah. And London because I needed it. And I was like, I don't know. We were wanted like some hardware store for like five bucks or something. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it depends on where you're traveling and if you've time to get a hardware store, right? Oh, also the weirdest thing about Malaysia is that there is so much Japanese influence everywhere. Like the first place we went to after we got to Malaga, after we dropped our shit off at the airport, while we were I think waiting for one of our friends to finish, we went to an Eon. Like just a straight up Eon. Right. Like which for those of you don't know, it's just a Japanese mall. And then you go inside and it legitimately looks and feels like a Japanese mall. So it's just like interesting. Okay. There's a uni-close. There's obviously there's like a uni-close. What else was there? Yeah. Try to run back their colonization. The Malaysian loves Japan, bro. Trust me. They started with Jessica and yeah, just ring brought everything. Yeah. They just literally brought everything from everywhere. And now they just just narrowing in on all the Japanese. It's like the is a uniclo like similar price to Japan. Like how does that work? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. That Mugi. Because like Mugi, when you buy Mugi in Japan, which is I guess they have it in the UK and America, I think. Yeah. They do. Mugi is a big brand. When you buy it, I noticed that they have the price on it for UK, US and like other countries. And it's really crazy how much more expensive the same item is in the UK of America. It's ridiculous. I'm looking at this. I'm like, damn. Well, it's like Daiso in Australia. Because you know, here it's like 110 yen for the most part, which is like a dollar tan Australian. You go to a Daiso in Australia and everything's like four dollars. That's like wow, what a great dollar store. Yeah. I mean, even in Thailand, like there's a, I mean, Japanese culture is like everywhere now. And especially like it's this thing where wherever you go to a different country and you want to get someone wants to take you out for like a nice meal. It's always Japanese restaurants. It's always the Japanese restaurants. It's always the Japanese restaurants. It want to take you to which I don't mind because I get these food. But sometimes I'm like, you're right. It's like, I hate it when they when they're taking me to ask me if it's as good. That's the only something I don't have. If you had this with that, like, I got a spot. I can use tell me if it's like as good as Japan. Oh, dude. And I'm like, dude, take me here. If you want to just eat it, don't take me here. So I can give you the like the white boy approval of like, yeah, it's good. The first time I ever went to LA, the my partner at the, the previous MCN I was at was just like, hey, I'm gonna, is your first time in America? It's your first time in LA. I'm gonna take you to a great spot. Motherfucker took me to little Tokyo, took me to this ramen restaurant and she was like, I just needed to know if it's as good as in Japan. And I ate it and it was the worst ramen over my life. It was so bad. And I was like, how much was this? Oh, $25. What? Plus tip. Plus tip. Plus tip. Yeah. I was like, cool. I came from big Tokyo to now little Tokyo. It's great. Yeah. Krapa ramen. That's awesome. But yeah, thankfully I didn't do that. Well, I was in Malaysia. Thankfully, I had like actual proper local food. And it was great. Yeah. Yeah. I was the convention. Oh, so good. It was fucking massive too. I was the Malaysian crowd. As you'd expect, just insane in the best way. Nice. They're very like, you know, because I guess like it's the same experience, I guess is like, you know, say like Singapore for instance. It's not so long, but how did it compare to the Singapore crowds? I am going to start. Actually, now he's just now he just locked in. Why are you putting me on the spot? Yeah. To be fair, it's been almost 10 years since I experienced the Singapore crowd. But I don't know. You experienced Singapore. I'm very, very wholesome crowds. Yeah. I'll give it to Malaysia. That I've never been. This is more of them. That is true. Look, Southeast Singapore, that rich bro, they're need approval. Yeah. Exactly. Well, okay, because I've been to I've been a three three three three. I've been in the Malaysian Singapore. I've been to three Southeast Asian conventions. I've been to Malaysia Singapore and Philippines. And I would say for the most part, the crowd vibe is pretty much the same. It's that Southeast Asian hype mentality. People are just happy, though. You're like, whoa, you came here. Yeah. Yo, it's like every second or third person that stopped me at the con was like, what the fuck are you doing? I was like, y'all fucking invited. But yeah, no, it's it's good vibes. Like Southeast Asian conventions, good vibes all around. Wherever. Yeah. So I definitely want to try and experience more. But yeah, we're working with you. If you want good vibes, some of the nicest, friendliest people out there as well, they're just happy to see you. Southeast Asia is where it's out, man. And beautiful countries as well. Beautiful country. The one thing I think in Singapore, when we when we landed the one that one night, it's like, what should we eat, though? It's like, yeah, we looked around like the restaurants and stuff like that. And then it was like, there's a tire restaurant underneath them all. And we literally hammered like five side dishes. That was so good. Yeah. Well, the first meal I had in Singapore was a fucking Malaysian loxah. There you go. Singaporeans were like, oh, you're here to eat our Singaporean loxah. I was just like, look, look, look. Great. That's Malaysian. Okay. Okay. Okay. Look, the great thing about Singapore is that it's such a like cultural melting pot. Right. So I hadn't been to Thailand for like months before. So I was like, I am in Southeast Asia. I know there is Singaporean cuisine, but I am missing my home dishes right now. So look over at Nabi the first time for the first like hour off we landed in Singapore. I was like, I want Thai food. I need something spicy. I need something with a lot of like herbs in it. And then I'll try like the Singaporean cuisines right now. This is the closest I've been to Thailand for like this year. So I want Thai food. That's fair. And it was like the best, like some of the best Thai food I've had, like outside of Thailand. It was fucking phenomenal. So like food in Singapore, it's like, obviously Singaporeans have their own cuisine, but it's also like, it's also like, you know, LA where no matter where you go, you are going to have a bang a meal, no matter what kind of cuisine you're eating. Yeah. I also didn't have a bad meal in Singapore either. Sure. Sure. You know, food in Southeast Asia just is different. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Perfect. It's yeah. Even the bento that we had. Oh, even even the bento from like we just had like the basic like chicken rice bento at the convention in the AFA. And it was just like shit. I'm used to like convention food. And this shit like slap because it was like it was basically just having street food at the convention. Yeah. It was just like, oh, it was it was great. It sure beats the road hot dogs in LA. Yeah. I don't know. I'm not risking it. I've had bad I've had a bad experience with that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. First time in a X I tried one instantly shoot myself. It was bad. But like not in like the nice way. It was just it was. Yeah. At least taste good. No. It was I was I yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We went to the UK. We did. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That Chris is wedding. There's a lot of fun. It's very good. Very standard UK trip for me. A lot of great. Oh, you say he's fucking standard UK trip. You went to the fucking Globe Theatre with Pete. Oh, I did. I did. Yeah. And you didn't you got just like fucking McLaren or something like that. To get him McLaren. Oh, yeah. Just the regular way. Just the regular way. Just the normal fucking UK trip. I'll be honest with you. I totally forgot about all that. You saw fucking Chelsea match as well. Yeah. So I regularly drive super cars and watch it. No. No. No. Okay. So I got an F1 as we all know. Yeah. A couple of years ago McLaren hit me up and we're like, do you want to come to Suzuki to watch the F1? Yeah. But every time they've asked me, it's been during cycle time. So I you know, I'd always be like, I can't do it. So I just randomly after I started getting an F1, I was like, I'm gonna hit them up. So I messaged the guy, messaged me and I was like, hey, I'm coming to the UK. I wonder if there's any chance if I could just like, you know, come have a look at the building or anything or whatever. I don't know what to expect. I was like, it's really, I'm like, I'm just looking for a fun activity for a day. Is there anything I can do? Sure. Yeah. And they replied to me and they're like, yeah, if you want to come to McLaren HQ and have a little tour and spend the day here, we can. Did you get to drive one? Fuck not. I didn't get to drive. Can't even let me drive. There's cars are so goddamn expensive. Did you always get to sit in one? I got to go on their like $300,000 simulation machine. Hold on. Jesus Christ. Can I go to do a couple of laps in that? How'd you do? My God. Fucking hard. Yeah, I bet. It turns out driving an F1 car, just giving that thing to start is fucking hard. And there's like levels of simulation. So they had like, so we went over there. It was really cool. They were so nice. They're really awesome. And I brought my parents as well. As I was doing my parents and I was like, hey, this would be like a fun little thing. And I asked the question, is there a camera on my parents? They were like, yeah, I was like, Pete as well. So we went in and it's like so crazy getting the exits and woking, which is famous for having a pizza expressed at Prince Andrew. Did you get to that pizza? I didn't eat that. I did see the very pizza express. That's all I know about woking. And then it's that. So it's like, I had to get like an oop of that. And it's like so weird getting an oop of Timoclar and because they were like, where are you going? And then it's like, there's like a front gate with security. And then you know, to get in, it's like a whole other thing. And so getting in with the building was absolutely crazy. Right. I need to go underground in like a tunnel. And it's like the most surreal thing. You're in this really long underground tunnel. And they're just playing F1 commentary. But there's like no lights. There's like a couple of orange. It's so creepy. I was like, I'm right at the right place. And there was no one around. So going underneath in this bunker, I'm like, I think we're in the right place. We've been walking for like 20 minutes now. Right. After we the security guys, like, edge go over here, go down the tunnel and go through. And I hadn't seen a single person. And we finally get into this building. And then suddenly, like we go up this elevator and there's like tons of people and it's the Maclam building that you see and all the F1 stuff. And it's in the F1 movie as well and stuff like that. It's a really cool building. And then we got a really cool tour from this, I think his name is Jack. He gives such a really good tour of the place. And I didn't know a lot of the history about F1. But he was just, there's so many cars. And they kept moving the cars around during the tour. So they've cars on display that all work. And throughout the tour, they're just moving them around. I don't know why, but they're moving them around this like floor. Okay. So a guy will get in drive, move it. And then it'll be like, okay. And then he'll tell me the story of this one car turn around and it's moved. And I'm like, what the fuck is going on? So he's telling us all about the cars that they have. And there's so many legendary cars. And I wish I knew more of the history because there was like the McLaren F1 car that Lewis Hamilton had won his first ever, you know, Trevor Euryth. And they had a Santa who, I guess the Brazilian driver is like a legendary driver. His car was there. And there's like, you know, statue and I did see a land of Norris. He was there. Oh, shit. Because it was the day they were celebrating the win because he won the previous F1, the one that was the season. And I didn't say hi to him or anything, but he was standing there. And I was like, just like, I was like, Star Strike, I was like, admire from a distance. Yeah, I was like, he was just chilling, waiting for his ride to come pick him up. But I was maybe like, didn't want to follow his, like maybe like four or five meters away. I kind of wanted to ask for a pick. I don't know. He's pretty, you know, he's probably chilling. He's just wanting, he's probably like sick of it. I don't know. You've been on the other side of it. Yeah. Yeah, I would have been like, just ask, but I don't know. I just didn't want to be that guy. I don't know. I get it. I didn't ask, but I did see him. And it was really cool because I was like, damn, he's the goat. We've won. We did like a tour, then dude, they took me in their cafeteria. Mm hmm. Insane. That was maybe the highlight for me. As it always is, selection of the fucking charts. Damn. They had like, so F1 is kind of interesting because they introduced a thing a couple of years ago where all the F1 teams have a budget to, basically because Mercedes were winning too much because they were just spend, spend, spend, spend, spend. They won like eight years in a row. Yeah. And just getting kind of boring because they were just winning everything. Yeah. So they introduced us now a cost cap and then includes catering for staff. It's all included. So if you want to go bougie with your catering, that comes out of the cost of the car. So they're all telling me, they're telling me all about this stuff as well. So they have this insane spread and they're subsidized, but like, so it's quite cheap, but they were like, yeah, it would have been free if you know the F1 rules, you know, they've changed it. So they have like an Italian station where they have fresh, for culture sandwiches being made and like pizza and pasta and they've got like a healthy section, vegan section, like Middle Eastern food section. They got like every single kind of food you would ever want. They had like a British breakfast station, a jacket potato station, which apparently they'll tell me Americans love because they've seen the TikToks of the jacket potatoes, you know, the ones with the van, which I was like, that's ridiculous. Yes. They have literally everything and the food's so goddamn good. But then they let me, they were like, okay, in the rest of the day, you can spend on the McLaren simulations, which was sick because I've done a couple of F1 simulation stuff before, but it's really hard because even on the simulation, there's a ton of settings you can basically turn on or off. And with all of it off, you're basically driving basically an F1 car, but it becomes incredibly difficult to even like drive the thing. Yeah. Because the, you know, changing gears is really tricky, even starting it and getting it running and getting the car to steer is fucking impossible because if you turn a little bit too much, yeah, it just spins out. Right. And I'm not even like, it's just like a bunch of my friends. It's like a right end. Like I'm talking like that. If you're going a little bit too fast and you turn slightly, the whole thing fucking spins out. Yeah. Yeah. So you have to do like a load of laps where you just drive kind of fast, but not that fast to warm up the tires. Right. Right. And then you can see that it can grip. Yeah. And then they had this like incredible 300,000, $200,000. Similar. I don't know how much it was. It was ridiculous. And it's like this, it was literally like a carbon fiber F1 car shell. And it hooked up to these hydraulic pistons. Jesus. And like three giant screens to go around you. Yeah. The speakers right here. And you have to, you have to hook into like an actual driving belt because it shakes you so much. Oh, well, you get the feedback as well from it. It's like, this is like child's play, compared to what I said. Yeah. They had these. They have these as well, like a really high end version of this. Yeah. Yeah. Like these like classic racing simulations that can get you home, but then they had like the giga one, which was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, what they would like actually, you know, they can practice and they can practice in that they want to. And it was that one, there's like three settings. I was like, easy medium and like real. And I could only just about do it on medium. It was really hard to do. Real. Yeah. It was actually so hard, but it was so narrow and so like uncomfortable to be in it as well. And then obviously one thing they would tell you about is like the break is really tough. Right. The amount of pressure you have to put on on the break is like absolutely like astronomical. But it was really cool getting to drive it and see it all. And I don't know a lot about F1 or like the, especially the the non kind of drama version of it. So it was really cool getting to see that and just learn a lot about the car. Experience the real effort. Yeah. Yeah. And it was cool because like they had like, they had like the workshop, which you can just see it's like all the windows are open. So you can see them working on these old cars and like storing them. You didn't get to take photos. I was totally allowed to, but I just didn't. Oh, it's like a waste. Yeah, they were taking pictures of me. Where did those go? I actually asked them. Can I have those pics? Yeah. But yeah, they took a lot of pictures and it was really cool. It was like such a cool experience. So yeah, I guess they did do stuff in the UK. I think I forgot about that part. Yeah, it sounds like you did fucking watch. Yeah. And then I went to I took, I really, really wanted to take Pete to go and watch something in the Globe Theatre. Because I know that he obviously loves acting. Yeah. Globe Theatre. It's a kid. Maybe one of the most, most iconic theatre things in the world. Sure. Unfortunately, the only thing that was on at the time was Pinocchio. Not quite. I mean, you don't really go to the Globe Theatre to, you know, you're going to still go on to see it. You go for the experience. Yeah. I was like, you know what? It'll still be fun. Obviously, I would love to have watched a Shakespearean play. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's especially during the holidays. They, I think they normally tend to have more family stuff. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. And it was still a really fun play. It was really one. It's hard to get tickets nowadays in the Globe Theatre. It's quite, it's quite, it must be. So we had five. It wasn't the pressure was too bad. So we had five. No, five or six. How do you see? I get I think it's like four or five people. And then that was kind of hard to get five seats altogether. So if you do want to go, it was really easy to book if I did it like two months in advance. But I think if you're trying to do like a month in advance, it's quite tough to get that many seats like good seats as well. Because it is a one-to-one recreation with obviously they fire code has to be updated. So not everything is one-to-one. But it's as one to one as possible, which means all the old shitty seats where a pillar is blocking you. Or like the back is horrible or whatever like all those are back. Sorry. They're like, yeah. It's really easy to get a bad seat. So I highly recommend booking really early on if you want to go to it. But really go. It's a really fun experience. And it was really, really good. I actually, I don't really care for Pinocchio, but it was a really, really fun play. And it's just fun seeing these amazing performers just do something in the Globe. Yeah. Although did you know that Globe Theatre was built in like 1970. Oh really? Because the original burned down in the 1600s. I thought it was like 1950 or something. Like early 1990s. Well, I guess after World War II maybe because I might have enjoyed. But yeah, it was 1970. I was like, damn, that's not as old as I thought. That's not as historic as a... Well, I mean, it's 55 years, 56 years. I mean, look, it's like as faithful to the recreation as possible in as close of a location. It's a little bit. The original location I think now is flats on it. So I think it's the third globe. I don't know. There you go. Traditional methods of material. Oh, sorry. 1990, sorry. Wow. Oh, 1997. Oh, 1997. So it was built after I was born, which I mean, which is so crazy because it feels like such when you walk by it, it looks so amazing. It feels like an iconic park. It feels historic. That waterfront. Yeah. And it's, and I noticed because when you walk on the ground, there's like some of the people who contributed to the building and it's like Patrick Stewart is on the ground. I guess he gave money towards it. So we're really, really, really fun going. And if you have a good London highly recommend if you want to do something that's like a fun day activity or nighttime. Yeah. And especially if you appreciate the hotel or acting, like it's such a fun venue to be in and just just taking in like the what you could imagine a 1600's peasant would have enjoyed probably wouldn't be peasant because there's also standing seats. Right. Right. Standing spots. Just like the, you know, like they had it in the original. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a pretty rough. I don't know if I'd want to stand because some of these things like three out. Yeah. Yeah. So it shows to be more stand there for three hours. It's like part paying to experience part of what people experience in history. But you know, we have modern comforts for a reason, you know, I think if you're in the seats, which I'm going to get, you know, it's a little bit more of a, would have been probably a higher up kind of this episode is sponsored by Vessi.

I bet. Back to the episode. Price back then I was. But it wasn't too bad. I think the seats were like 40 or 50 pounds. Per person. Yeah. Okay. That's not too bad. I think if you went to watch a play show, yeah. If you went to a journey stage show, I think you'd be paying around that. So to get one in London and the globe. I wish wasn't when we went to go see Hamilton. I didn't go with you guys. I don't know. In New York. In New York. No, no, no, no. We saw Hamilton. Fuck, where was it? I went to Broadway to go watch Beetlejuice when we were on tour. That was like 150 bucks. That was expensive. But it was also worth it because it was the last time the original actors for the stage show were doing beetles on Broadway. I don't think I've seen Hamilton with you because I know when I saw Hamilton. I was just you. Yeah. Definitely the London show that we had. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Where was that? That wasn't the globe. I don't know. No, no, the globe only does. It's only like two shows a day max. And some days they don't have shows. Like if you go to the website, the globe website, you can see they don't have shows that often. Yeah. No, I think when I saw Hamilton because I saw it with Emnean Diders, and we were in Victoria Theatre. The one near Victoria Station must be expensive. Yeah. No, I was there. No, I promise you. I swear. Emnean Diders were there. Bro, bro, bro, bro, are you tweaking? Yeah, I was there. Were they there? I definitely remember you were there. I'll do the do and fucking the 10-pist. I would have loved to watch 10-past. Oh, it's a January. It's a January to April. God damn, while if you're in London, go and watch that. We like merging brains because I know the Valley and Diders. I definitely remember Emily Diders and you were there. But it was only Emily and Diders. No, no, I was definitely there. What is it? It's a collective amnesia. What is this? Wait, did you also see Hamilton with Emily and Diders? I definitely saw Hamilton. Did you watch it? The station. No, I've seen Hamilton once. I've seen Hamilton once as well. I've seen Hamilton once as well. And it was in London. It was in London with Emily and Diders. Yes. I remember. I was there. I was there. You are not there. I was there with Emily and Diders and Joey. Yeah. I remember that. Okay, so we've both seen Hamilton with Emily and Diders separately. Okay, question is, how many times has Emily and Diders seen Hamilton? Too many. More than twice. More than twice. Yeah. Okay, it might have been that. Both happen to see what Emily and Diders do. What did you see Hamilton with Emily and Diders? That's what I'm trying to remember. I don't remember what it was to be in the last time I was in. Hamilton's in salesman. They're like, oh, you're in London. Let's go see Hamilton. It must have been the last time I was in London, which was tour. Oh, wow. Yeah. So it's like two, three years ago. They were there during the tours. Yeah, they yeah. They showed up near the end. Remember? What were they doing in London? Welcome. Oh, okay. And that was it. I'm pretty sure that's when we watched it. Okay. You just don't remember. And then I went to watch a Chelsea game because I've one of the watch in Everton game. I really wanted to repeat. One has been asking to go to like a proper footy match. Yeah. Sure. Like a Premier League game. And I would have loved him to Everton, which is, you know, my dad's home team. Yeah, your local team. You know, he's had a season ticket for fuck decades. Yeah. Long, long time before I was born, because it's granddad had a season ticket as well. For as long as I could remember. So he's been like a lifelong fan. I'd say it'd be great to go watch an Everton game. Sadly, there wasn't a game going on during the time we were there. But Everton was playing Chelsea. And I was like, all right, I'll get tickets to watch this Chelsea game. Turns out, getting tickets to a football game in the UK, if you don't have a season ticket is impossible. Pretty fucking tough. It's like the modern Premier League has blown up so much in popularity. I don't know how even the UK people have met to a full tickets. It's not too expensive as well. Yeah, and the problem is that because London, obviously, it's such a massive tourist hub in the UK. Yeah. All the London teams do, obviously, accept tourists and have tourist tickets. The prices are fucking outrageous. Yeah. So I paid an ungodly amount. I was like, you know what? I got Pete. I got my family. How often am I going to do this? I'll fucking, I'll splurge a fuck ton on these tickets. Sure. And I'll get them just because I want to treat everyone. Let's fucking do it. Because what's the point of having money if I can't, you know, do cool shit with people like Arrabab. So that's, I was like, you know, and I'll do it. So I bought these absurdly expensive tickets. And I was like, let's go. How much are we talking? You don't want to, you know what I mean, you can look at you. You can, okay, you can text it to me if you don't want to say it. I can say I'm I saying it because like, look, it's ridiculous. But you can go to the website. You can see. And by the way, this because it's Everton, it's a, it's a, it's a snooze fast of a team. Okay. That's it is the cheapest the tickets are. And I looked at the other games like Arsenal versus Chelsea. Yeah. It was like, so I, I mine were like, 500 pounds per person. It's like, it's like 700 bucks. Holy fuck. Yeah, I was like, fuck it. I'm going crazy. I'm just going to spend it. $700. Yeah. So I dropped like, two, three K. Jesus. Yeah. It was a good match. Fuck no. Fuck no. Everton lost, right? Everything not only lost, it was like a fucking pathetic game. The second goal was tragedy. So I am wasted. I know I'm wasted. It was fun time. I fucking scam myself out of like three K. Jesus Christ. Yeah. So just so you know, if you ever want to go and watch hospitality, go to hospitality. It's not worth it. Don't fucking do it. Right. So yeah, is it, is it, was it a massive waste of money? Yes. Right. Yes, it was. Not kidding. I got, so I got, you get hospitality. So what you get, I got like, you get to go in like early at like three, three PM and go and get catering and you get like a little show. Sure. Without bringing out like an ex Chelsea legend. Oh yeah. Who of course I don't know. Yeah. Is it the important and everton legend? I wouldn't know why. Cause I don't have any of these things. I'm just grateful. I don't know. Because my, you know, my dad loved it and my brother loved it too. And he was stoked. And you get like free food and drink. I said, free. I paid for it. Yeah. I was like, free today. My family, my family were free beer. Yes. Okay. My family were there and I was like, it's worth it. I was like three trips to the buffet. Five points at least. Each of you. Should I feel like we've at least done some damage? You're going to feel the quarter. I was like, I want to, I want to spend some money here. We got to make some like, so yeah, I just, I mean, obviously look, we're obviously, we're obviously well off. But I do not spend money like that often. Oh yeah. He was very much here once, once in a crazy, out of time to do some like this. So I, we got the all the food and drinking. That was refund. And then this, oh, this old Chelsea player comes out who's like a, do you remember his name? No, I know, I know that like he would be kicking me. Cause he was like, he was asking like, I'm dad and he's like, who's this guy's legend? He's like, yeah, he's a legend. Apparently he's, he's on TV a lot like doing commentary and stuff. Okay. And so, you know, they're talking and they, you know, they go, if we get our list of Chelsea legends of names, would you be able to like pick out the name? I would be able to maybe pick out the name. Fuck. I want to let you more knowledge. I'm on, I'm on connoisseid. I don't, I couldn't really go to the first part. The worst part was is like, we're like, no, no, just keep scrolling outside. It was a black guy, John Terry, like, I, Zola, actually call. No, no, drug, but no, he wouldn't. Oh, I know the name, drug, but yeah, no, no. All right. Well, he's still alive. He's still alive. He was there. Let's go to top 25. This Chelsea player is the top. I don't know if he's the best, but he was a player. No, I'll tell you, I'll tell you. Why is your blood? This is making him harder. This is one that they pulled up the 25 list of legends, and I, I don't know who I can't even see. I'm, I'm, I'm seeing any of these names. No, his name was quite long as well. Okay. And how old was he about? I'd say like 50s. Okay, so this is very very old. None of these. No, fuck. Okay, I'm not going to. No, we didn't. You know what? Let me ask Pete, who the player was. I'll text him. He'll know. He'll save a few days. If he's 50s, probably even like, you know, even before when I was born, when words, yeah, about probably like 90s. So, so we're sitting there, right? There's shows going on. There's like an MC. Yeah, and you know, he's like, who's here for Chelsea? And everyone goes, hey, everyone in the thing. And then he goes like, who's he of Everton? It's just me and I go, let's go. Just me. Right. And it's in like hospital. There's like maybe like 150 people in here. I scream it. And then he goes, haha, that's funny. I hope they don't win today. And I was like, I feel like it's the end of it. Security came over. And they said like, hey, if you shout again, we're going to kick you out. And I was like, the guy asked me to have an accident. That's bullshit. He goes just so you know, mate. If Everton does school, Hollywood likely, he said, he said, don't scream or you will get kicked out. What the fuck? And I was like, all right, that's crazy. I was like, that's unfair. He used to baiting me. He said, who's here for Everton? So you fall for the trap. No, he did. He was a trap. And my dad was so embarrassed. He was like, he was like, out of this place. This is not what's on. He was like, he's like, why did you scream? We don't do this. I was like, he asked who's here for Everton. Clearly you've never been to a football game before. He was like, catch your ass. Yeah. And then like, yeah, so I then the game was terrible. It was, the game was so about game. It was like the most sad loss ever. Everton just couldn't get the ball. And then when they lost one goal, they just gave up and they just never had the ball. I think you'd be in less danger being like North Korea, trying to like South Korea. I think so. You know, like what the fuck did you do? It was a safe question. I was like, what's up, tell me, sir? I thought it was okay for me to do that. I was surprised you didn't get jumped by the 100 Joltsy fans around your soul. Get up. And then they gave it, they gave it on a raffle ticket and they were going to give them a free Chelsea jersey, right? Yeah. Offset didn't win. But they, they, but if you did, they gave it to two winners, right? Though I would be so funny if I were. Because it was after I screamed. Yeah. So they, they say like, okay, number three, he's got number three in this guy comes up and they go, well, you're from men. He goes, oh, North Dakota. Damn. Okay. Okay. Okay. Real Chelsea fan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like, the next guy they're like, where are you from? He's like Washington. I was like, is anyone here for a Chelsea fan? Or are we all tourists? No, Chelsea fan would be paying that. But they were so boring. The Chelsea fans, none of them were cheering. And it was so fun watching the Everton fans in the stand because they were in their way. And they were like constantly cheering. Yeah. It's like watching a Japanese baseball game. Same, same vibe. Concenturing, constant cheering. Chelsea fans, fucking nothing. Nothing at all. Tourists. Cricket. Tourists in it. Tourists. Yeah. And then they started cheering. I'm like, this is pathetic. This is actually pathetic. This is not, I was like, I was like, tell him, Pete, I was like, this is not, this is not football. This is not. Not a real thing. The sanctity is ruined. Yeah. And it was a lot of fun. It was really fun getting to take my family because obviously, they, you know, they go to so many football games, but they never go to, you know, hospitality. Yeah. And I just never go to football games. So it was really fun. You know, they, when they sat down, they were like, oh, the plastic is padded. I was like, is that not normal? I, it's not normal. No, no, I know it's a normal. Wister on the ground, mostly. Yeah. It's almost like a plastic shell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So that was a lot of fun taking, doing that and hanging out with them. And then, yeah, that was, that was it and then went to Chris Wedding. And that was a lot of fun. Nice. Yeah. I had to do, I did this thing where I was checking out of like the Air B and B or whatever I got. Wasn't Air B and B. It was like a, I've, I've separate thing. And that was so scuffed in and of itself. And I could tell you so many fucking stories about how scuffed this fucking thing I rented was. It was like, they didn't have a bed sheet for, for Pete. And so I, I called them up, got really angry. I was like, I need to fucking bed sheet for my friend. I, I, and I had to pick extra for his bed sheet as well. Yeah. To begin with before. Right. And then bring it. So the first day, Pete slapped on a mattress with like, just a thin blanket of no bed sheets. Okay. And I had like a stain on it as well. Of course it did. So bad. And then the next day the bed sheets came and then Pete came down. He's like, hey, Connor man, sorry. There's actually no bed sheets. I was like, what are you talking about? So I go up and I see there's a bed sheet and he's like, yeah, but there's no duvet. I'm like, oh, okay. Fuck, so I got really angry. And I called them again. I was like, this is ridiculous. You brought a fucking a bed sheet, but no blankets or anything. Yeah. How do you fuck this up? So the guy comes over again. He's like, I'm so sorry. Let me just go check and see what happened. Cause I swear we put one there. So he goes to this bed and he looks at it. He goes, it's just tucked in. And so he just goes to the end of the bed and untucks the blanket. So Pete the night before had slept on the tucked in bed on top of it. It was like, it was a hotel tuck. So that shit was like forged. It was forged in the bed. Yeah, it was pretty deep in the back. Right. So like, yeah, if you were fucking drunk or tired, yeah, you might not have looked and just thought, ah, whatever. But it was like, it was pretty deep in the back. Just not to offend Pete, but he's a fucking moron. I called so back. So I called this guy up and we were like, I was like, flaming him. I was like, this is unacceptable. How do you, we're only here for four nights and two of the nights my boy sleeping like a Flintstones character. This is literally that equivalent of like, you go into the fridge and being like, Mom, I can't find where it is and your mom being like, right? That's right there. Yeah, I'm pretty bad. I thought so. So that was pretty embarrassing. That's what it is like. Sorry, man. And then like, we did check out one night. I had like, we had to go and watch Perky, but I couldn't take my luggage because we had with big suitcases. Like, where the fuck do I leave my luggage? What would you have done? What do you leave your luggage? I don't know. I guess you guys don't have coin lockers, eh? No. I started googling and there was these services where you could just leave them. Right. Like buildings, I guess where people could say like, hey, I run like a coffee shop, but I have room in the back. Yeah, yeah. So I found one that was kind of close to the Globe Theatre and I go in there and it was in like this news agents in like a really sketchy part of this one part of London. And I was like, what the fuck am I getting myself into? So we take it into this news agents. It's like, we've to go in the back and they open the shutter and it's so sketched. And we leave it. I'm like, I'm never going to see my suitcases again. Yeah. I think it was like 10 pounds to leave it there for like five hours. Luckily, I got my suitcases back. So if you do suitcases, you can just use that thing. Oh, there you go. What does it do you have a name? It's called like, luggage. It's like luggage, saver or something. Like it sounds like the most. It felt like a scam. I'm not going to lie. Anything with the word saver in it? It felt like there was zero protection as well from like me, like leaving my bags, but I was desperate and I was like, fuck it, I'll find out. And if I, if this goes wrong, it's like, I'll have a story. But it apparently had insurance. Insurance. Insurance. Is one of those websites that you have insurance gets such a scam. You will never have insurance. It's a paper that's like, trust us for. Yeah, whenever anything goes wrong, they'll be like, actually, you actually don't have insurance. It doesn't cover this specifically. Mercury was in retrograde. And if you read the clause, it doesn't count on it in retrograde. It was on my period. And so the wedding was great. Obviously, yeah, a lot of Camembert. There was a lot of Camembert. There was a lot of Camembert. There was gluttony. Yeah. It was. Yeah. Well, this is Chris with all you about it. And the sausage rolls was like sausage rolls. No, you know, on the scam. They brought out the gourmet sausage rolls on like platters. My God. I polished maybe 10 or 12. God damn. One thing I can give it to Chris is that he made sure that we were welfare. Oh, yeah. I think he made sure that he was welfare. And I think everyone else was an afterthought. It was, oh my God, the food was so good. Yeah. The food was so good. And then the only other funny thing that I did was that on the last day when I was going to Heathrow, my flight was at like 7 p.m. I didn't know what to do because check out was it like 10? Was the day after the wedding? Yeah, the after the wedding. And I was like, well, you know, fly in Batch, Japan. I don't really know what to do. So I was like, oh, maybe I what's what's nearby? And I was like, oh, Lego lands nearby. Well, fucking good Lego land. OK. So I booked a rental car. So I could keep my luggage, drive to Lego land. Leave the car there and then drive to Heathrow and drop it off. And then whilst I was, you know, even breakfast in the morning, Natsuki's kind of going around everyone. He's like, hey, guys, what you are doing today? What a plan. I don't know why he's like, we're in Eastern European accent. What is plan? What is plan? And everyone's like, oh, we're going home. We're doing this. And then Natsuki was going to be like, what are you doing? And I was like, maybe you don't like a land. I don't know. He's like, all right, cool. And then afterwards, Natsuki's, you know, he's like, langing around. Like a tallie's kind of like, you know, once someone to take him, like, Natsuki, like, Natsuki, do you want to go like a land? He's like, yeah, fuck yeah. And I'm like, cool, cool. So I have this like normal five-seater car. And then Natsuki and his wife, they have like, fucking three gigantic suitcases. I don't know what he brought. He's only there for three days. Siga, that's probably three days. He's there for three. Yeah, one for each day. Two kids. Not not three in like a two little carry on. Three full-size suitcases. I'm like, I'm scratching my head. I'm like, Natsuki, I don't know. I don't know if the car can fit this in. It's a small car. What's in it? I don't know. I didn't dare ask. So I managed to, we managed to Tetris, all of these suitcases into this tiny-ass car. And like, he has a suitcase on his lap. And his wife is a suitcase on his lap. And it's like, it's like, it's like an absolute Tetris. And I can't see the rear view. It's blocked. Like, it is like completely full. And it's a rental car. And whenever you get a rental car, the brakes, the first brake you do is always like a test. Yeah, because you're not used to it yet. You know what the strength is. And Natsuki, the tricky fuck, I'm driving him. When I do that, I go to brake to join this intersection. I brake. And obviously it's a rough brake. It's the first pump of the new brakes. It goes, oh, Connor, you know how to drive? I was like, Oh, Natsuki, I'm bailing you out here. I'm taking you to Legoland. You should have just turned around me like, do you know how to hack? I should have been like, how'd you make that? I never driven before. Yeah. License by. I was like, you keep my test. Yes, could have been like, I'm about to turn this car around. I'm driving. Get out with your three suitcases, Natsuki. So we take him to Legoland, right? And we go in there. My god, I was not prepared for how expensive Legoland was, by the way. Do you know how much you're ticket costs the Legoland? No, guess. For one person, one of all, I don't know how fucking much could it be, 50 pounds. What do you think, God? I was going to say about like 50 pounds. Fucking 70 quid, 70 pounds. And the worst part was everything was fucking close. Half the park was fucking shut. Half the park was closed. There was nothing open. How much is Legoland in Nagoya? Is it like the same? Oh, it's a way cheaper. I try to think. And Nagoya absolutely gaped it. Not even close. Yeah, 5,700. That's still expensive, but not 70 pounds. No. So just a perspective, that is almost a third of the UK cost. Yeah. And pounds, obviously that means in Yannit's like, Ichimanyonsen, that's ridiculous. Yeah. Ichimanyonsen for the car. Yeah. It's literally third of the park. It's crazy. That's insane. And half the park was shut. And I asked the staff, I was like, why is everything close? They're like, oh, maintenance. Half the park. And you still make a pay full price for the shit. The only good thing is that like literally no one else is in the park. Right. Because they clearly must have known everything was shut and it wasn't worth going to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But on all I in, Natsuki, Natsuki's like, he like taps me on the back. He's like, come on, come on, come on, come on, I thought. I was like, yeah, what's up, Natsuki? He's like, can I smoke inside? I was like, no, I don't think so. It's a theme park for kids. I don't think you can smoke inside. If there's no smoking areas. Yeah, I was like, no, I don't think so. He's like, hey, who's so, who's so, I was like, no, no, I don't think you can smoke. He's like, I'm like, okay, you just have a smoke now, you'd be fine. And so I'm like, it's all right. So I start walking and he's like, come on, I said, come on, please, please ask the staff if I can smoke inside. It's been five minutes. I was like, Natsuki, can't you smoke now? It's not that big of a deal, I think. We were literally only going to be in there for like three hours. Yeah. I was like, I think it's fine, Natsuki. He's like, no, no, no, please ask the staff if I can smoke inside. I was like, okay, I'm sorry. I can't ask the staff if I'm like, hey, can I smoke inside anyway? Can I rip some blunts inside? No, he's, he goes, yeah, actually in the fire world, there is a smoking area. It's about an hour in. I just let Natsuki go and do what he wants. I was going to rip some fucking stuff and just fucking ride some shit. Yeah, yeah. So about an hour in, I go to, I go past fire world and I'm like, I wonder, what if Natsuki's in there? Like pop my little head and show enough. There he is. There he is. He's in there. That's what the suitcase was before. I don't think he saw Leio land. I think he would fire world. And I took Natsuki around. It was funny. It was good. And I was like, Natsuki, we're leaving it to, better be there too. I'm not missing this flight for your shenanigans. Because Natsuki is like really hard to wrangle. He's a hard guy to wrangle because he's constantly smoking. Oh, yeah. Fucking hell. Every journey across Japan is like every 30 minutes is like, I need to smoke. It's like, we're in the middle of fucking nowhere. I have to stop. I just rip a scene and then get back in. He's a true OG Japanese man. He's built to smoke. Goes through like a pack of day, bro. It's insane. Built to smoke. I'm going to use the fly over. That's what I was thinking when he was in there. I have to smoke. We're here for three hours. I was like, the flight is 14 hours, Natsuki. How did you say, did they knock you out? It's a bottle of chlorine. Do you bring the world into like, like, like you smoking like Basins? He just looks at a cigarette and imagines. Yeah. I mean, he like puts his mouth just feels it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. So I took Natsuki to Legoland and that was the treat. Yeah. Nice. How was Legoland in 2026? Well, the bridge run was shit. The bridge run was fucking awesome. I haven't been to any of them. It's like doing Legoland nowadays. Um, they're like rides in the show now. Yeah, those rides are mostly for kids. There's a couple of good ones who are adults. When did you go to Legoland? When I was a kid. Oh, okay. So I'm like, I find my memory as a kid was pretty good. I mean, obviously the main thing is an adult that I just liked was just looking at the like, like, Lego worlds. Yeah. The sculptures because they had all like the different British aisles represented the Lego. And I said, yeah. Yeah. Or yet. Yeah, it's kind of, it's so hard though. But half the ship was closed. Yeah, most of it was like, honestly, half the shit on this website that you're showing to me. I don't know what it was. I didn't see it. Oh, I remember the dragon. They still have the dragon. Oh, the dragon was good. Yeah. Yeah. That's the one thing I remember as a kid was the dragon. But I went to recently I went to what's the illuminations park called? I already forgot it. I thought you were going to. You're going to be like, oh, you're going to be like, oh, my god. It's so good. Yeah, you're going to those great. That was actually amazing. But what is that? It's like the theme park in West Tokyo. And it's like famous for having like these amazing illuminations all in the park. Yeah. This is ride where you could like drive a car, like an EV car. It was so fun. Actually, like such a good ride. Yeah, you'll be able to have a minute. I haven't been to your movie. Actually, so good. I have not been to it. I highly, if you want like an actual good like evening theme park to go to, this is, the illuminations are now until I think March or April. Yeah. And it's not that busy because the the hall is vended. I highly recommend going. It is so good. I had so much fun. The ride to actually amazing. Yeah. Great time. Twin towers. Twin towers. I did go on the twin towers. You did? Yeah, the EV Grand Prix. This one was so fun. Oh, cool. You actually get to control the car on a track. Oh, so cool. Yeah. And you can like crash it into the wall and stuff. It's fun. Damn. A lot of kids there. Oh, yeah. But not that many. It was like mostly like a younger kid, like a teenage, and people on dates and stuff. Because a lot of the rides are very like adult, more adult than this. Yeah. That's like, it's cool to tell. Yeah, I'd recommend it. Yeah, yeah. So Legoland was mid. But then she's been moving. She's been moving. That's been the whole thing. Yeah. Congratulations on the move. Congratulations on your new house. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Just, uh, just, uh, yeah, moving. It's interesting having a house different compared to having an apartment moving an apartment. The trash is very different. That's the worst part. I, I, I was spoiled in my old apartment. They had 24 hour trash. Oh, bro. Yeah. You cannot mess up once. Uh, Japan trash is no joke. No G channel bar chance will be all. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I've already, I've already got the wrath of a little bit because I put my trash out. How long? 20 minutes after and the trash hadn't been taken yet. Yeah. But he was not happy about it. He was not happy about it. He's just like, spawns in, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He spawned in and he got mad at me. But since then he's been chill. He's a nice guy. I would say hi to him. You're a neighbor. Yeah, I would say hi to everyone. Even if it's not my neighbors, they just walk past me. Just in case. I don't know who they are. Just in case. Just in case. Just in case. I'm not even from here. Yeah. I'm from the world. I'm from the world. Who are you? Who is from? You're probably like the one foreigner that's like living on the street. So you've got to set like the good expectation. Yeah. There's not a lot of foreigners around me. So it's been fun. Yeah. You're the face of the guy jeans in your area. I think I'm doing a good job. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Fucked up on the trash already though. No, he was chill about it. But I got the impression that it was like, don't fuck it up again though, kid. Yes. Yeah. I like you now. You definitely went back to his like squad. It was just like keeping out on the scale. But I went to like, you know, I did the thing because obviously I tried. I did this when I moved into my apartment. I tried to go to all my neighbors and introduced myself. But in the apartment, nobody gave a fuck. And everyone was like, leave me alone. Yeah. Who are you? I'm not at that as well. Yeah. But in the house, everyone came out and spoke. So that was good. I brought like a bunch of, um, on Miyagi from Nigirisu and gave that all out. Yeah. So they all, they all, I think they all, that was they everyone appreciated that. Oh, man. I think they, even though the British tea, given the British tea, classic, classic. Um, so everyone, everyone was very appreciative and very, very nice. And, you know, I, whenever I see some of them, I say hi and stuff like that. Um, and I got, I got a car, which I spoke about, and I got a car. Got a car. I have a little EV. Oh, nice. Nice. So I've been driving that. And then the guy saw it and he was like, oh, it's like, yeah. And then my other neighbor, he got it, he got a new car. So I was asking him, he, he, he got a, uh, he got a Tesla. Oh, yeah. And he sent Lee for something before. Right. Yeah. And so we started chatting. And I was like, how do you like the Tesla? How do you like to bet? I don't even think he, like, I was going to tell him. I was like, I thought about getting a Tesla, but I was like, I, you want to weird? I don't want to, I don't want to give him my, but I didn't even think he was on his radar. Yeah. But he's like the my, my, my little just gorgeous. I'm like, how could he look at it? And I was like, nice. Really? He's like, yeah. And he's like, I know. I know. To your tension. E, E. Yeah. I was like, I'm not going to describe exactly what he was saying. But the conversation was going on for a while. And we were getting into territory where I was like, I think it's much Japanese is better than it is. We were getting into the, the point of the conversation. The jargon. Yeah. It was running out of the words that I normally use. Right. And I was like, hmm, hmm, sort of this name. It's, but it used to be a neighbor in New York. It's been fun. It's fun. It's fun meeting the neighbors and chat with them. And getting used to the trash, slowly getting used to being in a house. Yeah. But I had, I had so much trash. I still have my old apartment. Well, I've been, if I was going near the old apartment, I was shuddling the trash into my old apartment because it was like, no judgment, no judgment zone. I could take my trash out. And I had to take all the stuff off the wall anyway, the, the soundproofing. Yeah. And that was a headache. Yeah, but that was like your whole office for it. The whole office I'd done with like three layers of soundproofing. Yeah. All stapled into the walls. Yeah. One nailed, I guess I'm a staple. Yeah. And so that took like half a day to do. Jesus. And then some guys came around and took it all out. It was hard to find a service in Japan that would just take stuff to throw away. Oh, that thing exists. Like there was, I, because a lot of them that were Japanese, they were like, tell us exactly we're going to throw away, itemize to site. I was like, what the? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got a bunch of random shit. I don't know. I was like, who do I have to talk to and just come in and just look at it and just take it. Yeah, yeah. So I, I found, I found, I found, I recommend it's service and they were, it was mainly for foreigners that are like leaving the country. Mm-hmm. I need to get rid of things fast. So it was, it was really helpful. Mm-hmm. That's good. Right. Yeah, it was really, really good. Oh, yeah. How was your guys as Christmas? I didn't do anything. Ah, I just got drunk with a family. The classic. The classic. The classic. I was in Australia and I got stupidly drunk with a family. Joey, I, I always know as Christmas because Joey always sounds like one drunk message. Oh, yeah. Christmas. Yeah. What did I say? I can't find my family Christmas lands. Happy Christmas That's my sick, Claudia. Yeah, I was probably 10 G. You're a dad to men now. You're dad to men. Yeah, my dad was a, my mom was a man. It's this year, dude. Like everyone was a man. It's just the she bring out the shark hootie reports. Uh, like six of them. Yeah. Like six shark hootie reports. You got, you got to appreciate a good shark hootie. My, my, my dad made these like King Pronto, like this bucket of King Prons. Oh, fuck yeah. I was devoured that. Oh, yeah, cuz it's hot. Yeah, it's like summer basically. Well, no, actually, it was weird. It was actually really cold for an Australian Christmas. So it was fucking roasting. No, no, legitimately. It was like 20 degrees, which is, oh wow. Yeah, it was really weird. And then the week after Christmas, when after I'd gone home, my dad was like, it's 40 degrees. I can't imagine it being like 40 degrees during a Christmas. That's just so weird. It's the best. Because you're just sitting outside in the sun, just like drinking wine. Does it feel Christmasy? Yeah. Does, does, does, do you have the Christmas vibe? Fuck you. No, cuz I doesn't matter, cuz you're old shit. That is the Christmas spirit in Australia. No, cuz I was, I remember like, this is the first Christmas I've been back in the UK for like over 10 years, I think. It's been like over a decade. And I was like, oh yeah, I forgot that, you know, it's the one time of the year that people are in England are happy. And you don't, you don't need the sunshine, you know, you can go to a store and people like, yeah, Merry Christmas. They're all show your days going. It's the only time of the year where people are just like genuinely just, jolly, jolly and vibe. And then January hits and everyone wants to fucking, you know, it's like, all right, back to normal, back to the pressure. Yeah. Damn. Yeah, I don't know how the Christmas vibe is in Australia, cuz everyone's already happy there anyway. Well, happy, yeah, happy, yeah. Yeah, it's kind of the same thing. Really, it's like, you know, most people get like, you know, days off during like the Christmas boxing day kind of week. Yeah. And yeah, everyone's just like sick. It's 11 a.m. Let's start drinking. I'll get it. You know, it's hot as balls outside. Let's go to the beach, get pissed and then go back over barbecue. What else are you going to do? What exactly? There's nothing else to do. I'm like, go to the beach and get pissed. Maybe go to the pub, you know? Well, the pub's open on Christmas. Some of them are. Okay, pub's open on Christmas. Yeah, they are. Most like shops and everything are all closed during Christmas, boxing day. It's just a little about. It's just a little about culture that everything is closed. Oh, yeah. Everything. All the businesses are shut. You have to go to Christmas shopping like two weeks before Christmas, cuz it's Sep for pubs. Pubs, yeah. Sep for pubs. Do you need it in Japan or in there? Yeah, I came back to Japan day before New Year. So I went to I went to karaoke with like a bunch of my friends in our camera, bro. Did you go to your grandma? No, I saw my grandma a couple of days ago. Oh, no, actually, no. Actually, yeah. So I saw my grandma, I saw my family as well during a show got to like the first couple of days of the New Year. Yeah, it's the first time I think in a very, very long time that I was outside of my home or someone's home during New Year's. Yeah. I didn't know this, but on New Year's Eve, the trains run all night. Yeah, you didn't know that. I didn't know that. Yeah. Cuz again, the lot, I think it's only Cheyah there, right? It's not so bad. I don't think Cheyah. Yeah, but it runs every like 30 minutes past midnight. It's like random after like, I think after midnight there, but sometimes it's like one hour or I don't know because I try to get one and there was like, I was like, my every day no one else shot. Oh, really? I was like, okay. At least the train back to my place was like every 30 minutes from our car, so it's just like, what the fuck? When did they start doing this? Because the last time I was out during New Year's in Japan was probably like, I don't know, when I was in like college and they definitely did not run. So I was fully expecting to be like, all right, let's just pay for the fucking taxi, whatever. Yeah, the trains were running. One time I went to your house in the years and I couldn't get a taxi, but I just couldn't find one. The life of me. Oh, really? I like called on Go taxi in Uber and I just couldn't get one. And I'd love it an hour. I was just walking home until I finally found one. Jesus. It would have been like a three hour walk. So I was like, I'd like to find one. I eventually found the steps in there. They're like two years ago, two or three years ago. Two or three years ago. It's been a while. Yeah. Yeah, I was at this part of time and I got a taxi immediately like five in. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think I didn't go out this new year. This is a year's eve. One thing I did find this Christmas, actually, because this is the first time I spent Christmas with family and not just like my immediate family, but just like I got to see like all of my extended family in the UK as well. There was like a worrying pass in this Christmas. The amount of fucking AI gifts that I got to share. Well, it's, it's been AI gift. What do you mean? So you get a gift. And it's like a custom, custom mug or like a custom, you know, like a, like a custom, you know, trinket or something. And you look at the art and you're just like, yeah, this is AI. This is the J. I mean, literally. Did you get? Okay. Literally the first thing I, the first thing I saw, I got back and my mom had like decorated, like, you know, she, she decorated the house with all of like the Christmas decorations. Yeah. The tablecloth was like, you know, had some nice Christmas illustrations on them. And I'm like, when do we get these illustrations, Mom? We got these illustrations. And she's like, oh, I just got them on Amazon. And I was just like, okay, okay. I can't trust anything, you know. And, you know, there was a bunch of times, you know, Sydney loves dogs. So she, someone brought her some pillows with pictures of dogs on them. AI dogs. To be fair, like unless you could, you know, we can tell immediately. Yes, yes. But like it's, it was just like, it was just like a worrying pattern, you know, where it was just like, it was just like, it's over. It's part is become part of just like, what we can do. Right. Because it's just like, you know, these cute little, cute little gifts that people give, you know, if you get them on, I don't know. I don't know how to do it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, to be fair, like none of the gift give is even fucking. Yeah. It's not that they were like, you be an AI pillow. Yeah. Come on to give that to my friend. Yeah. But it was, it was just like a worrying pattern, where this, this year, I'd say like 30% of the gifts that I had go in. She was the same. Yeah. But it was, but it was just like, you know, like I was, I was just like, I could even icon immediately tell. I mean, you look closely and then you're like, okay, yeah, this is unfortunately an AI prank. Yeah. Yeah. But every time I got alcohol, it was fine. I'm going to try to do this. I was like, I got my, the cousin that got me into whiskey earlier this year. Yeah. I met him and we just exchanged whiskeys. I saw. You know, when you see like the shape of the gift that he gives you, because I gave him like a Japanese whiskey that wasn't like one of the like the fucking big three Japanese whiskey, whatever. And he gave me some scotch. And we just, we just exchanged whiskeys. And that's, that's where at the age where we can just do that. And I love that moment during Christmas when you're like starting to exchange gifts with the family. And you just, you look at, you know, all the presents that aligned up for different people. And there's a couple where you're like, I think I know what that is. It's just based on the shape of it. Yeah. Cause like every time, cause like my sister gifted me some vinyls. Yeah. Cause we always exchange vinyls with one another. Yeah. And I have to like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I wonder what the fuck this is. Good. I felt so bad during Christmas wedding because he did white elephant. Yeah. That's so. So everyone had to bring a gift. Everyone had to bring a gift. Oh, okay. But like a silly gift under like, what, Nissan or something. Nissan. Yeah, I was about to ask what white elephant is. Oh, white elephant is basically secret Santa. Oh, okay. Yeah. Secret Santa. So what did you bring? Um, so I got this. Uh, I, me and Sydney went to a like a yard sale in like Osaka or something like that. And we were just there. And we got to like this little like trinket or like 500 yen, right? And it was, um, it was like this little origami trinket that you can, you, you fold into and it turns to a cat. Yeah. And, uh, what's the problem with it? Uh, is it also a penis? No, no, no, it wasn't a penis because I felt bad because I, I, we, we, we, we line up for like the secret Santa. And it is like lining up to get your blessing from the dictator by the end. Yeah. Chris, Chris was at the end of this line. Yeah. And he's like, oh, yes. Um, I'll do this one. Take this one. This one looks big. You can do this. Yeah. You know, like based on how, how high a steam you are. You're a bigger and heavier gift. And uh, Sydney got some like, you know, cheap homemade like soap or some like that. Oh, nice. Yeah, which is nice. Um, but then, but then I'll line up from like gift and I, and I open it and it's like a fucking 50 pound box of chocolates. And I'm like, oh, yeah, they were like the planets. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're all like eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight. Yeah. Yeah. And then I got some like expensive fucking gin that was like, uh, like from, from our local distillery or something. Right. And I'm like, fuck. I spent like three bucks on my gift. Here's a country. Yeah. Who got it? Like, I was like watching to see who Chris gave my gift to and I'm just like, yeah, that's uh, wow, wow. Who, who, who gave that fucking origami drink it up? It couldn't be me. It couldn't be me. Yeah. I was like, what a six pack of UConn no chikata. Which I think is a great gift. That is a great gift. Cause look, we're like, when you're two days deep and probably been shrinking and someone you get gifted a six pack of UConn no chikata. Yeah. It's a hangover drink, by the way, in Japan. Yeah. Yeah. Like one of the standard ones and it was the max version. It wasn't the, wasn't the battery version. Yeah. Was the normal shit. Uh, I was trying to see who like went to and it went to another YouTube. It went to, um, uh, Sunday love. Okay. So YouTuber lives in Japan. Uh, I don't, uh, good friend of shallas. Right. And she was stoked to get it because she'd obviously been drinking a box of the UK. And you know, they, but she lives in Japan. So she, she knew what it was. Yeah. Yeah. So I was glad someone who was in Japan in the UK got it. So that it was like, what did you get? I got a, so initially I, maybe this is faux part. I don't know. Initially Chris had to me this giant fucking box. And I was like, Chris, I don't know if I can take this. This is huge. I can't pick this in my fucking. Can I have a different one? Right. And he was like, oh, fine, fine. And when I was handing it over, I saw what it was. And it was a, I don't know if that's if this is what it actually was or if it was just a packaging, is it like battery testing kit, 50 battery, different tests or something? And I was like, what? Yeah. But I, I couldn't fit it in my suitcase. I said, Chris, I don't, I don't want the giant one. Yeah. So I got another one and then I got a little weirdly wrapped thing and it was inside was a bunch of very cornish stuff. It was like, Cornish butter, lecure, Cornish biscuits. Cornish biscuits. That's nice. That's nice. Yeah. It was nice. And some, some other Cornish thing. It's very nice. So it was a good gift overall, I'd say. No, good stuff. And what else? What else was there? I saw something. Oh, yeah, Ian, Ian got like, it came in like a cheap five or 10 pound cattle box. And it looked like your bog standard cheap UK cattle. It was the same as Rees Basic Kettle. They sell this. Right. Like in the UK, that is like the same as selling like a fork. Like it's the most important thing everywhere sells a cattle's because you need them everywhere. And Ian, a British man will definitely not have that. Oh, he said, what the fuck am I going to do with this? Yeah, I don't know. So then he's like, I guess he's a bit of shit. And so he's kind of like, you know, the cattle's on his table. He's like, I don't know, he's a bit of a cow. And then after a while, he's like, I should just open it, see what it looks like. So he opens it. And inside there are two like amazing board games. Oh. Yeah, but they were just in a cattle box. Yeah. But they're like two really cool fun looking board games. Right, right, right. Yeah, so that was a surprise. Yeah. Well, it's fucking awesome. Oh, nice. It was a great gift. I really enjoyed seeing what everyone was getting. Mm-hmm. It was fun seeing the different things people got. So people got not so good things. Some of the stuff I got like this dumb origami cat, I don't know what it was. Yeah. Okay. No, we did a Geeks Plus sequestance a few years ago. And I remember like the, oh my God, ever. But we enacted the steel rule. That was allowed. Do you remember? Some people allow secret center where you can, you can trade with someone else once. Is that the one where I got the fucking packet of red rice? Yes. Yeah, yeah, that was. I don't know which kind of seek. I didn't know, like, I didn't know sequestance was like monopoly where we have like house rules. But to some reason when we did it with Geeks Plus, we were allowed to do one steel. So after you'd gotten your thing, you were allowed to go and swap once with someone else. What's the point of that? I don't know. But first, the second fully rolled up point of the secret center. Yes, the sun reason we did this and and Dinosaur brought magic the gathering cards. Do you remember this? Yes. He bought a magic the gathering command to show a money and everyone kept stealing the fucking magic the gathering commander box set. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No one wanted their gift. Everyone that stole it. Was that the one you got the candy? Yeah. And everyone got so drunk and we just started fucking everyone was doing this. Candy. I'm just 17 boys just like, oh, oh, that was the most high present. That was so high. I think. That's a good gift. That was fine. Yeah. Should have brought that to the fucking secret center actually. That candy. Yeah. That always hits. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just like, man, we figured out toys ages ago. Now we need fucking video games and all that shit. It was funny. The all the accommodation risk booked for us was amazing. But the only breakfast option was English breakfast. For three days in a row, I had English breakfast and I was like, it was amazing, but I was like, I had a once in London and I was like, it's really hard to eat it more than once. It's too much. It's too much. It's great when you have it. It was delicious. Yeah. But I was like, this is a once and done for me. Three in a row. Then Chris looks at me and he's like, I need to get fit after this. I was like, fucking out. It's like, yeah, all right, Chris. I need to get all along. I need to fucking call the rush. I'll be after this. Yeah. I need to get fit. I need medical help. The amount of oil I've consumed is shocking. I need to be dripple something. Yeah. I need it. I was like, doc, help me out, man. I need some help. Chris had like, he had like the ceremony, but he also had like, like a day of activities afterwards as well, because a lot of people had traveled and he wanted to spend the day with everyone. Like a two day right? Yeah. So obviously, and at a wedding, we get a fucking piss drunk as you do on a wedding. But we had a day of activities booked the day after. And so I wake up and we head over to the venue. And the first thing I'm craving at 10, 11 a.m. It's hydration. Yes. I go over to this bar that Chris is set up. And I'm like, and there is just the selection fit for a king. Every kind of alcohol you could imagine. In fact, they were handing out hot chocolates lined with baleys. Right? Okay. Do you do remember this? Yeah, yeah. And like an Irish coffee. Yes. And I go up to the bar as they were handing out these hot chocolates. And I go, excuse me, madam. I know I have a glass of water, and they look over to the other bar lady in panic. They're all like, I'm just gonna say, um, can you, you wanted just a glass of, a glass of water? Is that code for, I got a glass of H2O, and they, they, they, they, they look up, and they were like, um, can you come back in about 15 minutes? I, I, I'm terribly sorry. I don't, I think, I don't think we have any water with us right now. And I'm just like, I just, I'm walking out. And I'm like, oh my God. Oh, this, we are in for a long day. So I, I have to like, for hydration, I, I just have to like, not the hot chocolate would baleys, delicious by the way. Yeah, I bet. But it was not what my body was. Not what my body was. The opposite of hydration. I had it and I immediately regretted it. I feel awful now. We hadn't eaten anything and I want an empty stomach as well. Yeah. Jesus. I'm fried breakfast. That's all. Yeah. Fried, fried English breakfast with a follow up of baleys, it was like, I was doing heinous things to my body. Oh, you were shooting yourself, I bet. That flight back was rough. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I was in that just getting back, uh, back into the swing of things, January now. Yeah. I went to the dentist today. I have dentist as Chris always says. I have dentist. And it was fucking, it was suffering. I'm going to the dentist on Saturday for the first time in way too long. Yeah, it's been like a year and a half since I went. Yeah. So I'm not excited for it. So I went and I was like, okay, cool. Let's go. Let's get a cleaning. And look, I don't like the dentist. No one likes the dentist. The cleaning doesn't feel good. No. I got kind of sensitive teeth. So I was like, fuck this sucks. But then today, I get there and then they start cleaning my teeth. And I noticed that like, oh my god, I can't even stand zero point one seconds of this. Like, water thing. Oh, like, the high pressure juice. Yeah. And I'm like, I was like, oh my god, I could restart. I was like, stop, stop, stop, stop. And I was like, why does it hurt so much? Right. I couldn't even, it was like someone was stabbing a vein. And they were like, oh, well, I think it's because the water's cold. So they were spraying like a high-scaled, cold jet into my, and they started with my top right, which is like, the most sensitive part on the garment at the top. I don't know why. I think I use too hard of a brush. So it's so sensitive. I literally can't drink any cold drinks that touch that. Oh, shit. I need to like do something about it. I don't know. I went to the dentist, not to get fucking tortured. So then they were like, oh, well, I was like, okay, we'll put some gel on it. So they put some gel on it. And I'm like, I don't know what this gel is, but it makes it a little numb. Didn't do anything. Because it's still ice cold. Just a big paper of ice. And I was like, I swear, like when I come here, it's normally not this cold. But you have like warm water because like the cold is killing me. And they're like, I don't know. And I was like, they was like, we can do anesthesia. I was like, anesthesia, I don't need anesthesia for a cleaning. I was like, just turn the fucking heater on. I was like, anesthesia for cleaning. I was like, I don't need this. And also we're going to record trash tasted at it. I was like, I can't be turning up the coffee face. I was like, I would have to cancel today if I was going to do that. So I said, no, I don't want to do that. And they're like, well, should we just stop? I was like, I was like, when will the water get warm? I was like, I can't do it. I'm tired here. And so finally the water got warm. And it was like totally fine. I was like, it didn't hurt. Like obviously it was still a little sensitive to high pressure jet. But it's like totally fine. And I was like, I'm going crazy. I feel like they were gaslighting me. I feel like they were trying to make me out. Like I was little babies. Like some people just fucking pussy. Yeah, yeah, deal with it. And then the day's came and they were like, watch out, he's sensitive. And I was like, sensitive, Janai, the water was just ice cold. You killing me here. And I was like, what do you want to know in the chat? What do you want to know? Don't you dare put sensitive. Don't you dare put sensitive. I'm not sensitive. I went off the record. And then they were like, you got a cavity. I was like, the one that was already there before that you fixed or a new one, they were like, I thought I should. I was like, oh, you got another cavity. But it's in the feeling that I already had a cavity. I didn't know they could happen. I didn't know they could happen. Damn, your cavities got cavities now. Yes, they killed it. The building got a cavity. Holy fuck. I didn't even know that could happen. And I was trying to get like, so it's, I go to like, what you been eating. I don't know how the filling gets another cavity, but I guess that happens. So I asked them, I was like, you know, and it was a, it was an English dentist, but it was a different person that I had from normal. And I was like, and you know, it's, it's in Japan a lot of the times, you know, yes, being fluent in Japanese would be nice. But a lot of the times even, I feel like my Japanese is, is good enough for most things, but with medical stuff, I just want to be sure. So I try to go to an English speaking one. And that just means that it's just normally gambling. Yeah. Whether you get somebody actually speaking English or like a little bit. And unfortunately this time, the person who's doing it didn't really speak very of English. And so I was asking them, I was like, like, how bad is it? Can we do it now? And they were like, hmm, not sure. I was like, so that's not an answer. What's what do we do now? I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm before the next episode. Dance. So. Double dentist. Double dentist. Double dentist. Double dentist. Double dentist. Double dentist. But when I was trying to like vibe out like, they were like, could be bad. And I was like, so. How bad is it? It don't give me the main reason. They kept saying they were like, we don't know how bad it is. I was like, do we want to check? Yeah. And they were like, you literally the professional. Yeah, yeah. I don't. And they were like, maybe I was like, this is crazy. Am I going insane? I feel like you. This is like something you got a broken leg and I'm like, okay. And are we going to check? I feel like you're nearly changed into zero. I think this today made me think like, I got a change. I never had a bad problem. But I used to have this woman who was always there. And she was great. She was phenomenal. And then since I went last time, she just wasn't there. And I guess she's just gone. She's left. So I think I need a change because the. It's like, yeah, she was really good. Super amazing. I'm really amazing English as well. So I felt really in good hands. Is the one near the office? Yeah. They changed, right? I know the exact puts and yeah, you're talking about. You do the same one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. One who was like, maybe the one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Two. It was like the what it was like, I don't. I don't like care with like medical stuff that much. I'm normally okay. And I don't mind. I'm very like chill. I'm very patient. Sure. I don't care about waiting. Like I don't really get anxious about it. The one thing I hate is like, I guess I'd learned it was when they're just like, they're like, maybe, I don't know. Maybe sounds wrong. I don't know. It's like, why don't we don't tell me this? Like tell me what we're going to do or what the plan is immediately. You have this problem. Here's what we might do. Here's what the flow is now. I hate when they said it. You got a problem. Yeah, you're done. So yeah, I'm gonna get what this like. I'm not in the mood to fix it today. Like, mentality. Yeah. So I think I'm gonna change. Yeah. I was like this. It's pretty bad. Do you have any bad experience to the same one? I mean, I haven't been to this one in a while. Yeah, I have ignored their reminders. So I went and yeah, sorry, it wasn't very good and it was fine. But you know, you just, when you want to get sorted and things going on, you're like, I would just like to know what's happening. And normally I used to always get like a check it and do like an x-ray. They didn't do it today. I don't know why. Just weren't in the mood. Yeah, I was like, I was like, I was, I know I was explaining anything. Yeah. No one was walking me through anything. You know, I feel like that's normally part of it. I don't know. Whatever. Yeah, time to change. I really go to, yeah, I'm very fortunate. Generally healthy. I don't have to go to doctors or dentists often. So I, you know, I get like a little bit excited when things aren't being explained. Well, like what's happening? Like or when they're just like, what's going on here? And I really appreciate it because I've had, I generally have had really good luck with doctors in Japan. I've been really, really good. They understand that I don't fully understand all the Japanese. They're normally really patient. They normally try to explain things. Yeah. They're always trying to ensure I understand or will use translation tools. Like, there's, they're normally very patient and like I've had nothing but amazing service in Japan. Yeah. And the one time you pull that gacha and you get that SSR like fluent in English doctor, you're just like, what's crazy? I'll always get it at the time I don't need it. Yeah. It'll always be like the random health checkup. Yeah. And they'll be like, so Mr. Connor, it's nice to see you. And it's like, what's an Arbe? And I'm like, this is crazy. And he's just telling, and he's literally that just tell me I'm fat. Yeah. Like that's, that's all he's there for. And then every time I go to an English speaking doctor, like one that's advertised at English speaking because I'm like desperate or so I'm like really worried about something. They're always like the worst English. Yeah. Or like, they're not not back doctors, but like maybe bad at like explaining. Yeah. And like, the ones that always ask. I feel like that's a very important part of of going to the doctor or going to these things like explaining and being able to communicate is like such an important part of that role. Of course. Yeah. And so sometimes when you don't get that, it's very frustrating. I don't feel like I'm being taken care of. It's like, I don't know what's happening or what steps they're taking and very frustrating. Yeah. It's like, if you don't tell me, I'm not the fucking doctor. I'm not the professional. So if you don't explain it to me correctly, I don't know. I'm not a shit. Yeah. I don't know anything about this. Like do you expect me to like go and research it myself? Like, I just, I want to get it from the doctor. And I'm a cosy, bro. Yeah. I was just too many. I'm a cosy, boss. You know, they ask you and you go into a cleaning engineer and they're like, do you have the health insurance? I want to do it the premium. Yeah. What do you recommend? Yeah. What's the else to assume around these hot parts? We got a whole lot of us could be special this way. I'll start already for half a minute. I'm looking for the Mr. Beast treatment. You got that? Yeah. You see this? This guy. For a Mr. Beast fit. You got that? No, sorry. Yeah. I don't know. So I got out pretty good. So you got to get your cavity. So I'm going back next to the three filled refills. Three filled refills. I guess they're going to take it out and they were, this was frustrating, right? Because he was like, no, she's side. She's side. The doctor was like, okay. I went to the front and I was like, and I asked them. I was like, you know, they were like, when did he come back? And I couldn't speak. Because they told me not to speak. So I messaged them and I talked to them. I was like, how do the dentists say how big it is? How long is it going to take? How many hours should I block off? And they were like, oh, we're going to ask. Then they're going to ask the doctor. And then the doctor was like, chotto big. I was like, okay, what is chotto big? Chotto big. It went from she's side to chotto big. They said chotto key. Chotto is like, what does that mean? What's chotto? I think I said is one hour, okay? And they said, yes. And I was like, why is nobody communicating anything to me here? I feel like I'm going crazy. This is so unlike Japan. Japan normally, they would be like, you need one hour. Come in this day. It's going to take this long. Don't drive afterwards. Don't do anything afterwards. Like, you know, very, it was like the most unlike Japan experience I've ever had ever. So I have to get finally one. So, yeah. I'm also getting ice surgery next month as well. In Japan? Yeah, in Japan. I'm getting I.C.L. So I won't need glasses or glasses. I want to do it. Just want to see you now. Is your eye sick getting worse or is it? I just, I put on contacts every day. So it's just and Sydney got it like two, three years ago. And she says it's like, it's been life changing for. And you know, it's been apparently it's like she wakes up every day and she can, you know, see. I'm I'm getting surgery to unnerve myself so that I can experience what you guys experience every single day of your life. I just want to know what that feels like. I want to know what it feels like for you right now. Bro, it fucking sucks, man. Like, imagine waking up in the first thing you see is nothing. I'm going to get a Poland to get my legs extended to Ike. I feel what it's like to be a Dania shoes. I'm going to break my camera. I'm going to break my legs and reassemble them. Yeah, to make me as tall as God's like a little day in God's shoes. But I mean, yeah, I'm a bit, I'm a bit fucking terrified of it. Because there's, there's a few places where you're like, okay, surgery in a, certain area, like you go to the dentist, that's always scary. But it's, you know, when, when I did my pre checkups for this eye surgery, the, they, they basically explain what they're going to do. And it's like they're going to make like a small incision into my eye. And then they slip a contact and they slip a contact in. And I'm going to be awake. And I'm going to see it as it happens. Isn't it like a ton of different, a ton of different ways they can do this surgery as well. There's a ton of different methods for it to work as well. I think so. Yeah. I think the most common thing is the other incision in eye slipping a contact. Yeah, contact. Close up. I'm sure it's so stressful, man. Yeah. I hate it. Because like, I just, I don't, I don't know how to advocate for myself while either. Yeah. I don't know what's good. I don't know what treatment I should be getting. I don't know any of this stuff. And I don't want to be a research, like, like, like, person who rocks up to the doctor and tells him what to do. Like, I don't want to do it. But I feel like I need to do some research. I want to do all. Well, actually, I should be doing this. Yeah. Yeah. Cause, um, yeah. I'm, I'm hoping it goes well. Cause like during the checkup. So they, they check your eyesight and everything as well. But there are some extra tests that, uh, need that NEP done on your eyeballs. And for, in order to do that, they need to dilate your pupils. So there's like a drug for that. Um, and when Cindy got it, it was like, yeah, that's what I'm saying. When Cindy got it, it was pretty painless. It was a lot. They put a few eye drops in her eyes. Yeah. And then within like 10 minutes, uh, like, uh, pupils were dilated. Yeah. So I did the same thing. And I'm sitting there and they put in a few eye drops. I sit there. It's been 15 minutes. They check up. Um, and then they're like, uh, I think we need to give you more eye drops. They give you more fucking eye drops. Uh, this time it's like two drops each. Uh, sit there for 20 minutes. Come back to check on me. My eyes are still the fucking same. I should take acid because they would have no fucking effect on me. And so they come over and I swear to God, you know that fucking TikTok clip where it's just like, I'm sitting down. I swear to God. So I had to go, that's what they did. Because I can, I stopped counting how many drops they put in each eye. And then I just within like 15 minutes, I'm like, I had like a transcendental experience. I'm like, I'm like, I look into the fucking my phone and I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, a fucking out. Bro, what the fuck? Oh, I was just been fucking crazy. Oh, yeah, yeah. I can see tomorrow. Oh, that's so funny. But I think they're gonna have to do that. I'm trying to say it. Oh, it's like, it's like, it's just like, it's just like, bring the whole ball. What the hell, training did you go through when you were a monk? I don't fucking do training. I think you go through. I don't know. I'm so funny. Um, so yeah, I'll update you guys. I think it's like less than a month and I get my surgery. Yeah, yeah. How, how that goes. Yeah. I want to know your, I want to know your experience on seeing. Hopefully, yeah. I'm gonna ask them if you're like, listen to music. What do you mean? Like while you're going on, don't you? Yeah, because when I got my surgery, I just asked them. I was like, hey, I'm gonna get, I get on my own. I thought you meant listen to music in general. I'm like, no. Bro, I'm getting, I just like, I found this real, I found this real. No, no, no, no. Somebody is, somebody in this new thing where I listen to music. Yeah. Has anyone tried this? It's kind of same. Yeah, I should ask them. Because sometimes they'll tell you, no, but if you're like, hey, I'm like, I'm fucking, I got a little anxiety. Yeah. I need my soothing music. I legitimately will like, fucking panic and freak out. I need my low-fi beats to study too. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty good at calming myself down, but sometimes when you, you body gets that point of like freaking out that you're like, I'm on the tipping point. I'm on the tipping point of go control. That's true. By the way, did you listen to music when you had surgery on your ass? Yeah. Oh, okay. Because I could feel them fucking cutting it open. That's what I was watching the penguin. All the great shuttle watch. I'm serious. I listen to the penguin. Yeah. I was watching the penguin. Yeah. They're all so... Cheeks out. Double cheeked watch the penguin. On the surgery table. Because they were like, no phones in the operating room. I was like, but please. Yeah. They were like, just put an airplane mode. And I was like, okay. Yeah. Maybe it helped me because I was like, I just don't like, because if I hear it, because I'm already thinking about it. If I'm hearing it as well, I focus on the hearing of aspect of anything. I'm over. I think it's where the dentist is so scary. Yeah. And the sound of that worrying from that fucking jet. It's like, in your ears. And the other patients, I can hear it happening to them. I'm like, I just don't like the sound. I just don't like the sound. I just like to imagine the surgeon is like, you know, working on your ass, and you just lean over, and he's like, I love this episode. Yeah, he's like, I love it. I love it. It's like, hold on, hold on, I need to watch the scene again. Fire, fire. You're like, what are your friends, like, place of video feed? Are you watching? Yeah. Are you watching this part? Yeah, yeah. It's so funny. It's like, I saw... I saw it, it didn't used to be like that. But like, I feel like I've developed an anxiety now towards getting my blood taken. We've talked about this before, right? We talked about this before. Like, getting your blood taken. And it's never used to scare me. But I don't know. As an adult, I just, something about the idea of it. Even though I didn't used to be scared of it. Now when I know I need to get my blood taken, it's just like, I have to mentally prep myself for it. And I don't know why. I don't know why. It's probably the only thing that I don't mind doing. Yeah. Because those free arms juice out of it's sick. There's this one time recently. So because I have ADHD and have to get medicine for it, I have to go to a clinic to get my medicine. And you have to get your blood taken once a year, just so they can check that medicine is not having any adverse effects on them. Yeah. But they never tell you that you're getting your blood taken. So last time, last time I went to the clinic, they were like, okay, well, it's time for you yearly blood check. And I was just like, it's been like, you're ready? Why didn't, why did you tell, I need to prepare myself. Yeah, yeah. I'm sure ADHD, you can't even keep track of a year. I know. I know. It's been, it's been a year already. Like for like my health checkups in Japan, I have time, like mentally prep myself, but here it's just like you get your blood taken to make it worse, to make it fucking worse this time in the clinic, right? This is a clinic I've been going to throw my entire time in Japan to get my medicine. There are a lot of places where I don't mind being recognized. A mental health clinic is a place where I don't know how to navigate this dynamic. So there's someone there who recognizes me. I also got recognized that a clinic. Did you actually, the fucking balding clinic? No fucking way. Wait for real? Yeah, yeah, because I go once a year to get my, like, finished tried the, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just going to get it. I know there's fucking chuck it at me that I'm so bald, they're like fucking, we know it. Yeah, yeah, go get it. Like dead ass right there. I went in there and he recognized me. And we looked at each other like, I know I hear. Like brother, I just have to mop. No, no, it's like dead ass. I get recognized in there. He's like, it's like gone and I was like, looked over and they asked, what are you doing here? I was just like, brother, fuck do you think? Brother, we're in a mental health clinic right now. I'm not going to get a fucking beer. Yeah, I was just like, yeah, just just just my, just, you know, it's, get, get my pills. You know, yeah. This is, this is clinic I go to to get the hair medicine. They've got like a hall of fame of like celebrities that go there to get their, their, their building medicine. Right. I think they do have a stuff to, I just thought, I thought it funny. You're like, on the building hold a, hold a fame. The ball of fame, the ball of fame. Who's on there? Anyone you recognize? Japanese celebrities. Not, not that I recognize. Yeah. Yeah. Just like over the forehead of hair now. Yeah. Oh, yeah. They always, a lot of them look pretty balls. Still. Yeah. I don't know. I presume it was the first time they read it. I don't know. He's like, he's fixed and you're like, really? Oh, God. I have thankfully not been recognized at a clinic yet, but I'm sure it's going to happen eventually. That's going to happen.
