You know what I mean? 56 00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:10,320 It's a it's a democracy, but I'm a dictator. 57 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,560 So if I don't like the decision, I will go against it. 58 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:20,000 It's great, the studio is great and I am so happy to be in it, 59 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,320 you know, in Hollywood, which is where I want to stay with the 60 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,280 podcast. When I did a wee coffee run 61 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,760 today because I'm a bit like, I'm a bit like a mother and her 62 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,960 son has just moved out of the house for the first time and I'm 63 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,400 calling down to see him and his friends moving stuff into the 64 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,880 house. I'm like, does anybody want to 65 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,600 wee Bunny go and get you the bungees want coffee. 66 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,960 Why are you moving out? Do not love me, you know, So I 67 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,800 have been assuming that role and I was just walking through 68 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,840 Hollywood going to get the boys a coffee and myself, obviously. 69 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,800 And I thought like the sun was shining and I was like, this is 70 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,520 so good. This is the place where we want 71 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,600 to be. This is amazing. 72 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,400 And then genuinely every single coffee shop I went to was like 73 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,080 packed way out the door. And I was like, this is a 74 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,840 terrible decision. We need to get out of Hollywood. 75 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,480 It's too popular. You know, we need to go 76 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:12,200 somewhere where the coffee shops aren't as packed like Scion 77 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,760 Mills. I don't even know if that's a 78 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,280 real place. Like is that a place where shops 79 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,640 and or is it just some houses? Don't know. 80 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,839 It's one of those questions I'll probably never know the answer 81 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,120 to apart from the comments section. 82 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,360 Someone will tell me.

Tomorrow I am getting a 119 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,080 procedure done. And we've talked about it a 120 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,280 little bit on the podcast. I've hinted at it. 121 00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:15,680 We've had some metaphor around it. 122 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,480 There's been suggestion. But tomorrow, ladies and 123 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,320 gentlemen, I'm getting circumcised. 124 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:30,800 Your boy is getting the hood cut off his boy, I'm getting 125 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,000 circumcised. And you what? 126 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,120 The weird thing is when you tell people that like friends and all 127 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,520 the go, oh, how come you're getting that done? 128 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,440 As if the answer could be anything other than medical 129 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,760 reasons. You know what I mean? 130 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,000 Like, why? Why are you getting circumcised? 131 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,320 I just fancied a day out of the house getting the top of the 132 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,520 knob cut off. Yeah. 133 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,720 What are you? Where are you heading? 134 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,080 Down to get circumcised. I just have always thought that 135 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,880 I've had, you know, you know that phrase too much foreskin's 136 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,400 a bad thing. No, it's obviously because, you 137 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,760 know, the foreskin is just, it's not performing well at the 138 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,800 minute. With common Crohn's disease as 139 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,880 well, they say it can be linked to say you can get inflammation 140 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,600 done there. And normally I would be 141 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,200 delighted with that. Normally if you say you can get 142 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,320 inflammation anywhere in your body, where do you want it? 143 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,920 I go, what you make it swells up and grows and stuff. 144 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:32,120 OK, penis 100%. But yeah, the doctor was like, 145 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,840 man, you got to, you got to get this done. 146 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,320 In fact, he didn't. That's a mental thing about it. 147 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,040 He's like, you can get this done in about a year if you want. 148 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,560 And I said. Let's just do it. 149 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,240 Let's just bite the bullet and let's do it. 150 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,560 So tomorrow I'm going to get circumcised and I'll say this, 151 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,240 right? I'll say this. 152 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,680 I went and got a COVID test today as part of it, you know, 153 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:55,600 because basically it's like a bit your boys taking the hit on 154 00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,760 this because I think if I was doing this like on the NHSI 155 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,360 think I'd be waiting like years, like literally years. 156 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,320 And we just want, we just want to get. 157 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,960 Yeah. You. 158 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,960 Know that's what I said, the doctor, I said just. 159 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,680 That's what I've got to do. So basically I had to go down 160 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,200 and get a COVID test today to make sure I don't have COVID and 161 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,080 I can go get this operation. And I go down and I get the 162 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,840 COVID test and I just drive down near Boucher to get it done. 163 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,080 And I realised when I was getting it done that I've, I've 164 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,160 never given myself the COVID test properly. 165 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,240 The time I did it before at the Odyssey Dr thru because I did 166 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:38,760 the I, I had like a cough or like a tickle in the back of my 167 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,799 throat like months and months ago, like the middle of the 168 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:44,760 spike and I thought, right, I might have COVID here. 169 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,680 I think I've got a symptom. I think I should go down and get 170 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:50,280 and get a test done. And I went down to the odyssey 171 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,400 like loads of people have. And the part the you know, the 172 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,960 guys in hive is partially the stuff to do it yourself through 173 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,760 the window. And so you've got to do like the 174 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,760 swab of your tonsils and then up your nose and everybody's been 175 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,200 going, Oh, it's so bad, isn't it? 176 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,120 Like it hurts and I'm going, no, not at all. 177 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,440 I was like, it didn't take that long and I didn't find it 178 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:11,760 intrusive at all. That's. 179 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,200 Because I was. Barely doing it. 180 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,000 And I didn't realise that until I got it done today by somebody 181 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,440 else, by a nurse who comes out to your car and does it. 182 00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:24,920 And she, she goes, yes, we've been uncomfortable. 183 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,720 She goes, don't worry, it's not too bad at all. 184 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,680 Then I said about my tonsils. I was like, I think I did this 185 00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:34,600 before and I was hitting my tongue, you know, And she goes, 186 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,320 all right, I'll just do it here for you now. 187 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,720 And then all of a sudden she was swabbing the tonsils and I 188 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,200 gagged. I did the gag thing and then I 189 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,480 got really. Embarrassed that I did that 190 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,320 they. Went, oh, do people be sick 191 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,040 sometimes? And she went, yeah, yeah, they 192 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,360 do. Sometimes people be sick. 193 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,960 But I got the the tonsil done and that was so bad. 194 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,280 But it only felt like it was for a couple of seconds. 195 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,480 You know, she was like very gentle swabbing. 196 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,560 The tonsils will say that. Then it goes up your nose. 197 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,560 And I also realised like, because I think when I did this 198 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,200 and I didn't know you had to like, properly do it. 199 00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:08,920 I think I just like touched the top of my mouth when I did it 200 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,240 before, which is so. Responsible. 201 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,320 And then when you had to put it up your nose, I think I just put 202 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,000 it in like a centimetre. This one went up my nose, 203 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,760 through my cheekbone, past my eye, like I saw. 204 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,960 The the swab go past the front of my eye, then it went through 205 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,680 my brain and at the top of my head and through the roof of my 206 00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:30,320 car and they they move it around there. 207 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,160 For a few. Seconds. 208 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,240 And then I was just chatting to the nurse and I was like, you 209 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,880 know, there's people you have to get this done like every other 210 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,880 day. And she goes, oh, see, when 211 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,080 you're getting done some other parts of the world, she goes it. 212 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,280 It they like she told me the technique with the swab that 213 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,120 they do in other places with your throat and I was just going 214 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,200 on no. So I don't plan to get 215 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,680 circumcised again is what I'm saying. 216 00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:54,040 I think I'm going to do it once, but I don't want to have to go 217 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,040 and get another COVID test if I don't have to be a boy. 218 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,560 Your boy's getting circumcised tomorrow. 219 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,320 I'm pretty calm, but I don't really know. 220 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,520 I don't know how it's going to look like. 221 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,600 I get what I get what they're doing, but I don't know what the 222 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,120 final product's going to be. And I'm trying to like imagine 223 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,760 it, you know, and I've Googled some images which I shouldn't 224 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,520 have done and I don't know, like what the recovery is going to 225 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,360 be. And I know for a fact that the 226 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,040 baby, I'm going to hold the baby even though it shouldn't for a 227 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,120 couple of days. I know I'm going to hold the 228 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,680 baby and then the baby is going to get a tail and kick the tip 229 00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:31,480 of my Dick basically. And then the baby's going to 230 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,360 hear words that it's never heard before. 231 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,560 Now I'm nervous about it. Now I'm saying it and here's the 232 00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:39,400 worst thing. It's at half five in the 233 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,920 afternoon. That's the worst bit of it. 234 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,160 Like that. You know, I've got all day to 235 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,320 just sit and to sit and obviously in private, you know, 236 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,680 look at my foreskin and just think about the memories, you 237 00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:54,840 know, they, my foreskin's been with me everywhere. 238 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,440 Me and my foreskin have been around the world. 239 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,880 My foreskin's been in Dubai, it's been in America, it's been 240 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,720 in loads of countries in Europe, it's gigged. 241 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,440 You know, this foreskin has performed at the Laugh Factory 242 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,560 in Chicago, it's performed in the Stan Comedy Club in New 243 00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:19,640 York, It's done BBC programmes. Like my foreskin has appeared. 244 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,040 Not like it's based, but you know what I mean? 245 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,360 Like it's been present in so many like great moments. 246 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,600 My foreskin's taken to the stage in the Ulster Hall with me, the 247 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,440 Ulster Hall, the waterfront and all that kind of thing. 248 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,120 And then I'm thinking, what do you, what do they do with it 249 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,480 after? Do I get to keep it? 250 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,120 Who's taken? What do they need it for? 251 00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:43,920 You know, can I get it put on a necklace and some sort of 252 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,200 pendant and then I can wear it because it is part of me. 253 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,600 So what I've done here is I've looked at this might be a gross 254 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,720 episode, but I've looked at myths around circumcision. 255 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,920 Here's the first myth is it says circumcision is just a cosmetic 256 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,680 procedure. I mean, I don't think that I 257 00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:08,000 don't think anyone is like, let me make this deckle cuter. 258 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,160 Can you get? Can you cut? 259 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,520 Most of the skin of it off some people. 260 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,120 Do. Get Oh my God, some people do 261 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,800 just get it done for a cosmetic change. 262 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,800 Imagine, imagine how bored and rich do you have to be to just 263 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:21,560 go. You know what? 264 00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:23,720 Let me give this guy a new look here. 265 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,800 It offers medical benefits. OK, great. 266 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,080 Especially when compared to a cosmetic procedure like 267 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,880 tattooing or Pearson. Yes, we all know Patty McDonald, 268 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,800 former podcast guest and friend of the show has his cock 269 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,720 tattooed. Reduced risk of penile cancer. 270 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,200 Yes. Didn't know that was the thing. 271 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,720 But the lighted better meal hygiene. 272 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,840 I mean, OK, Yeah, I can see that. 273 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,080 Plus zipper injuries in which the foreskin gets caught and 274 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,640 torn are more likely in uncircumcised males. 275 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,000 First of all, I like to think so. 276 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,000 And secondly. Who's? 277 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,080 Doing that, that isn't nine years old, because I did that 278 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,320 twice in my life and I think once it was 7 and once it was 9. 279 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,680 And the worst thing is, Oh my God. 280 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,720 I could. See the skin in the zip? 281 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:21,560 Oh my God that's so bad. Circumcision can reduce 282 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:29,800 instances of STD's OK it can lead to injury that's a myth as 283 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,160 well. It can lead to an injury. 284 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,120 Now this is this website is someone trying to sell the fact 285 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,320 that they do it. You know, it's some American 286 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:45,560 doctor, but but I was very. Keen to know how it started, you 287 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,560 know what I mean? Like what? 288 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,960 How was the first circumcision done and why was it done? 289 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,720 And it says here it stems from Egyptian, the Egyptian Sikh 290 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,440 dynasty. He sounded like dirty bastards. 291 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,680 It was a relief. Oh, they did like this painting. 292 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,600 No, the painting shows a guy being circumcised, but it also 293 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,040 looks like he's getting a Dick massage because he's standing 294 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,480 with his hand on the guy's head. I mean, I presume I'm not going 295 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:14,720 to do that to the doctor tomorrow. 296 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,080 Imagine doctors like, listen, I'm going to go down for just 297 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,320 based on this image of doctors like I'm going to go down on my 298 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,880 knees here. Pop your hand. 299 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:31,840 On the top of my head, and I'll just stretch this out, all 300 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,520 right? OK yeah, The guy in this has 301 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,440 been forcibly restrained in one of them. 302 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,480 Like pretty sly thing to do against somebody's will, you 303 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,960 know, but maybe back in those days they used the foreskin, the 304 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,440 top of it, you know, for some sort of voodoo witchcraft kind 305 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,040 of thing. The Greek historian recorded a 306 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,600 practise in Egypt in 5th century BC. 307 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,880 Male circumcision is linked to a convent with God dating back to 308 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,440 Abraham. And I don't know a lot about the 309 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,280 Bible, but was he like the God tell Abraham to do it. 310 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,400 See, the first get it was God like Abraham? 311 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,400 Do you know what would look so cute? 312 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,840 Because like Abraham, Abe, Abe, Abe. 313 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,640 Hey, babe, let me just say this. You know what would look cute? 314 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,400 Less of a hood there. Let that let that bitch breathe. 315 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,880 You know, I don't know why God has become so calm. 316 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,720 The practise proved a hindrance. The mass conversion to 317 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,280 Christianity. I don't want to get involved in 318 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,200 religious beef, but also does it make me Jewish? 319 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,880 I don't know the rules around it, but I presume that when I 320 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,920 get this done I am entitled. When pubs and stuff reopen, I am 321 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:49,280 entitled to a full mitzvah. I would I would love that. 322 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,960 Imagine me just not knowing. Like imagine if I genuinely just 323 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,080 didn't know if I was not Jewish after getting this done or not. 324 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,000 Like the first thing I say when the doctor put Oh my God, when 325 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,880 he puts in the last ditch. And by the way, I know this is 326 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,520 gross, right? For part of this, and I'm just 327 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:05,920 saying it because it's better if I say it. 328 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,520 It's like, you know, getting that out there a problem shared 329 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,599 is a problem half they and I'm not getting put under for this. 330 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,359 I'm not getting like full anaesthetic. 331 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,720 I'm just getting like numbed and Oh my God, can I just say this 332 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,560 right? This is so bad. 333 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,680 Again, this is so bad. But remember, this is just a wee 334 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,800 cheeky episode before we move into the studio. 335 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:29,520 So they inject, they inject the base of the deck twice. 336 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:37,400 My eyes are starting to water. Oh, Jesus said in in Christ 337 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,760 Jesus, neither circumcision nor non circumcision counts for 338 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:50,520 anything. Until 300 BC, the ritual is 339 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,040 recorded as calling only for the removal of the tip of the 340 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,520 foreskin. However, when Jewish athletes 341 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,960 travelled to Greece to complete compete in athletic events, they 342 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,880 imitated their Greek host by pulling the remaining foreskins 343 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,560 over the penis and tying them clothes with a ribbon or a piece 344 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:14,160 of string. How fucking weird were these 345 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,080 Jewish athletes getting off an EasyJet flight? 346 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:24,520 Nothings and going guys respect. You know, I think when you like 347 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,320 go to a new country as like as a country, you like maybe offer a 348 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,240 gift from your country or whatever, you know, but the 349 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,560 Greeks probably thought they were getting like chocolates or 350 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,720 some sort of gold plate. What they didn't expect was 18 351 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,120 guys getting off a plane, dropping their bags and going 352 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:47,960 put a less we ribbon, you know, oh, so weird. 353 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,720 Like, yeah, OK, so these guys had been serviced a bit, but 354 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,560 then they saw the Greek guys and they went, oh, no, they've got 355 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,000 the full thing. So they just pulled it down a 356 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,400 bit and pretended theirs was full, like theirs. 357 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,360 When the athletes returned home, Jewish elders were incensed to 358 00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:06,600 see their foreskins. To put an end to the practise, 359 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,600 they instituted the pariah, which involved not only the 360 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,000 complete removal of the foreskin, but the Terran of the 361 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,520 frenulum, the delicate and sensitive membrane on the 362 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,240 underside of the penis with a sharpened finger. 363 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:23,920 Oh, fuck off. So how how sly the Jewish elders 364 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,360 being like, come, you here, clip, clip, clip it in your 365 00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:33,160 point. Yeah, like, let's not get too 366 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,120 into this, right? Because some people might wince 367 00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:38,080 at it or some girls might be like, that's disgusting. 368 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,520 Yeah, it seems like there's a long history of it. 369 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:48,160 And fuck, there we go. We'll just, we move on, but know 370 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,040 that that's what's happening tomorrow. 371 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,320 So that's why look, this might be a little bit of a shorter 372 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,440 episode, but just know that we're in the studio tomorrow and 373 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,800 we're going to call this, we're going to call this episode a 374 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,360 babe. And I'm just making a note of 375 00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:05,320 that. OK, Look, we, we're going to do 376 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,800 what we do on this podcast, which is the TripAdvisor review. 377 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,600 Whenever we are in studio, we'll be we've got like a. 378 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,960 Monitor where we can actually bring these reviews up as we do 379 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,520 it so you can actually see them in all their glory. 380 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,440 And that's just one of the many cool things that we have in this 381 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,880 studio. So I think with today's 382 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:33,120 TripAdvisor, what we should do is I mean, I'm going to just I'm 383 00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:36,000 just going to click, I'm just going for service station, 384 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,640 right? Service station. 385 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,720 And should we just pick a random one in England? 386 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,840 No, how about America, right, Because the first thing that's 387 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:55,040 come up is Wally service station and that's in America. 388 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,840 Do you know what? We can't even roast that because 389 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,320 they're in there. Literally is one negative review 390 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,800 211 excellent ones like Wally obviously makes sure the place 391 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:11,440 is absolutely class. There's a 711. 392 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,320 Do we do that? Do we just pick a real random 393 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:22,760 American 1 here service station? Like I don't know if anyone else 394 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,200 has been in a service station in America like that, listens to 395 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:30,040 the podcast, but you just feel cool, you know what I mean? 396 00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:33,160 It's just like, yeah, there's a few truckers hanging out there. 397 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,120 There's a few Hells Angels. I say that they just have a 398 00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:37,840 motorbike. I assume that they're Hells 399 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,280 Angels. OK, We're going to look at the 400 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:46,960 old Liberty Station in Bedford, VA, which is where I'm not 401 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,480 really good with this stuff. The Virginia? 402 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:58,560 Virginia maybe? So this just looks like it's 403 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,480 like a restaurant. It's a restaurant, right? 404 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,840 OK, OK, we'll go with that. We'll go with that. 405 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:08,480 Nah. Do you know what? 406 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,960 Fuck, sorry, I'm in a complete twat here. 407 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,040 Why don't we go with Joe? What I think would be funny, I 408 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:21,240 think we go McDonald's Times Square because like, first of 409 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,960 all, I've been there before. Why would that not give us that? 410 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:37,360 Let me just see here. Hang on McDonald's Times Square 411 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,400 review. Oh, OK, OK, we're good. 412 00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:47,520 Oh fuck yeah. There's loads of reviews here. 413 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:48,480 Right. Can I just? 414 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:49,800 Say this. Oh, hold on. 415 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:50,960 The light. The light's on. 416 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:51,680 On my phone. Hang on. 417 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,000 Let me just turn this off. Sorry. 418 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,680 Fuck. OK. 419 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,280 Shit. Oh, God, Someone's dropping 420 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,680 something off at my house and stuff. 421 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,960 Jesus Christ. OK, OK. 422 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:03,480 Right. Wow. 423 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,200 Sorry. I'm just really panicking. 424 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,960 No, just I just call my wife, just call my wife money instead 425 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,640 of honey. All good. 426 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,320 We're back in business now. The Times Square in in the 427 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:24,120 McDonald's in Times Square is one that I've been to before and 428 00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:27,400 I actually had a good experience in it because like most times 429 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,640 where I've been to New York, I've stayed in hotels in Times 430 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,760 Square because it's just like convenient to a lot of places 431 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,880 and you don't know to go to anywhere else. 432 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,560 It takes you a while of going there to go. 433 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,440 All right, people, people from here wouldn't recommend that you 434 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,440 stay here, you know, so you seek out those places. 435 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,280 But the first few times I always just stayed in Times Square like 436 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:51,640 a big tourist bastard. And also one time, one of the 437 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:58,520 best moments of my life was I went to New York about six years 438 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,880 ago. Me and Christian Aaron, who's 439 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,480 been on the podcast before, Christian place holder on Game 440 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,880 of Thrones. He's an international DJ and his 441 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,920 tour manager was ill at the plug in my laptop charger. 442 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,560 Oh God. Sorry for watching the video 443 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,560 podcast. I think I pulled something in my 444 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,600 leg there. This episode is wild and all 445 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:30,360 over the place. Just want my foreskin back. 446 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,280 When you listen to this, I will potentially not have a foreskin. 447 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,960 OK, look, we're settled. We're settled. 448 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:45,720 So I went with Christian Nairne to New York where he was DJ ING 449 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:51,680 because his tour manager was sick and I got to go on like a 450 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,080 North America trip with him for about 5 days and we went to New 451 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,600 York, Washington and Ottawa, Canada. 452 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,360 Yeah, to Ottawa and it was unreal. 453 00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:07,600 The trip was so good. And we figured out me and Dave 454 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,480 Elliot that we were going to be overlapping in New York for one 455 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,720 night because he was on, He just happened to be on a family 456 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,960 holiday at the same time. So obviously Dave totally 457 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,560 ditched his family and, and Christian was DJ and Hard Rock 458 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,640 Cafe in Times Square. So he was doing sound cheques 459 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,320 for his gig and all that. And I just, he just said, look, 460 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,720 he goes, they've got a good production team here. 461 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,320 I won't need your help because I mean, what help can Ioffer 462 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,600 really when it comes to production? 463 00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:38,720 You go just just walk away. Ensure come down to the gig 464 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:43,880 later on if you fancy it. So me and Dave met at about 6:00 465 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,280 somewhere near Times Square. In fact, what we did was we went 466 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,280 to a rib restaurant, just ribs like a BBQ place. 467 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,000 And I'd say there was 4000 people in this restaurant near 468 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,480 Times Square. I've never seen anything like 469 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,080 it. And Dave and I were potentially 470 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,720 the only two white guys there and we fucking loved it. 471 00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:04,800 It was some of the best barbecue food I've ever had, which people 472 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,080 will not believe because they'll go no me at Times Square and 473 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,480 that's all tourist food and all. And like, New Yorkers would hate 474 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,760 that. It was unreal. 475 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,320 It was called like big, big aisle Smoke Shack or something. 476 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,440 It wasn't. I've just made that up. 477 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,560 But anyway, we had a great time there. 478 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,600 Would take a couple of beers with our ribs. 479 00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:25,920 Then we don't really have a plan, but what we start. 480 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,760 Deciding we could do is get Google Maps out and try and have 481 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,280 one drink in every Irish bar around Times Square. 482 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:38,560 And this is silly because like we're in such great form that 483 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,480 we're having a few in each bar and we just start doing this 484 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,640 tour of Irish bars and falling in the different bars that we 485 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,320 hadn't seen on the list and all that. 486 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,640 We end up the last place in the night. 487 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,200 We oh fuck, I went to go to Christians gig, me and Dave in 488 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,560 the Hard Rock. You put our names down. 489 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,400 I went in and then Christian was like, when you get there, just 490 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,440 tell them you're with me, give them your name. 491 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,160 They'll know and just come backstage, you and Dave and 492 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,000 we'll. Hang out and. 493 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,840 Have a drink, whatever. And I go up to the guy with Dave 494 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,360 and I feel cool because we're walking into the Hard Rock Cafe 495 00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:11,760 in New York. And I'm like, don't worry, I've 496 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,160 got a sorted here. So I go up to like this security 497 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,000 guy for the black suit standing in front of the, like the 498 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,600 production door. And I go up to him and go, hi, 499 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,000 yeah, I'm, we're here with Christian. 500 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,840 And the guy looks at me and he's like, by the way, this was a 501 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:30,560 Comic Con convention. So the guy's like, he goes, I 502 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:31,960 don't think so. And I was like, no, no, 503 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,520 literally like, I'm on this trip with him. 504 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,800 I think he's put my name down at Shane Todd. 505 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,200 If you could check. Look, that'd be class. 506 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,760 And he goes, no, he goes, what's your name? 507 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,960 I said Shane Todd. He goes Shane. 508 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,720 I said, yeah, Shane. And he goes, that's not how you 509 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,200 say it. And I went, well, I mean, it is 510 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,520 because I've been saying it for my entire life. 511 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,120 And Dave goes, Daddy, his name is Shane. 512 00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:57,840 And the guy goes, that's not even a real name. 513 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,320 So me and Dave just left the Hard Rock, went back to 514 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,520 drinking. And I think at about 3:00 we 515 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,960 finished up in The Angry Fiddler. 516 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,120 Is that what it's called? Which sounds like a complete 517 00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:11,800 pervert, but it's an Irish born Times Square. 518 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,720 Dave and I like totally rinsed. Really. 519 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,680 Rudolph I walk back to, he works back to his hotel. 520 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,240 I walk back to mine. On my way back through Times 521 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,880 Square, I can't believe that it's still like full of life. 522 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,240 It's during the summer, but it's full of life at like 3:00 AM. 523 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,400 All the lights are still genuine. 524 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,040 I'm not stupid. I thought they switched all the 525 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,080 big lights off in Times Square at like midnight or something, 526 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,320 but no, they just keep going. There's people walking about, 527 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,640 there's still Turg. It's fuck it mental tourists 528 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,840 still all over the place. And I'm blitzed and I walk past 529 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,160 some freestyle footballers, you know, some guys just trying to 530 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,720 earn some money on the sidewalk right in Times Square. 531 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:57,920 And and I said that one of the guys I just fancied a wee touch. 532 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,440 Here's then 32 was probably in the late 20s at the time. 533 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,280 I will always take a wee touch. If you have a football, I'll, 534 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,320 I'll, I'd like to join in whatever game you have. 535 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,920 So I walk past this guy and I go, yes, may we touch? 536 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,760 And he looks at me, he's like and against his better 537 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,680 judgement, he slowly passes the ball to me, maybe from about 10 538 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,040 yards away. I'm so drunk that my legs don't 539 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,320 really work. So I just let the ball hit my 540 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,480 foot. And then I remember turning 541 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,320 around to the guy and going, how do you expect me to get this 542 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,880 back to you? And then he just came and lifted 543 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,760 the ball. But I don't know what I expected 544 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:33,880 to happen. I thought I was going to do some 545 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,000 sort of class skill and then I would join their gang. 546 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:39,760 I don't know how I started this. Oh, yeah. 547 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,080 The next morning after that, me and Christian went to the 548 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:49,000 McDonald's in Times Square. And I ordered like a muffin, 549 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,760 like a breakfast muffin. But I didn't, there was 550 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,920 something on it I didn't want. And they made they made it like 551 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,320 fresh for me because, you know, they just leave them sitting 552 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,440 there or whatever. And it was one of the nicest 553 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,320 things I've ever eaten. So that's my experience of I 554 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,800 only have good things to say. I only have good things to say 555 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,320 about the Times Square McDonald's. 556 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,200 But let's see what what people have to say. 557 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,120 Also, as we always do, let's look at a couple of excellent 558 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:20,920 reviews because why would you? Oh, that's so weird. 559 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:26,240 OK, this is a 5 star review. A very big McDonald's. 560 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,760 We didn't eat here as we wanted to explore food places in New 561 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,840 York, but came here for a drink and it was perfect. 562 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,280 We had a great view of Broadway too. 563 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,880 Who the fuck goes to McDonald's for a drink? 564 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,120 Can you imagine, like meeting a girl or a guy? 565 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,960 And listen, we're really hitting it off, you seem. 566 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,960 You seem really good. I'd love to see more of you. 567 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,120 Fancy heading there for a drink on Friday night? 568 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,400 Yeah, it sounds good. You pick me up. 569 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,200 Yeah, I'll pick you up half an hour later. 570 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,960 Why are we walking into a McDonald's? 571 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,960 Oh, I don't know, A drink? What do you fancy? 572 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,760 Well, I can only pick Coke or find a Dick head, so I'll have 573 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,080 Coke. A drink? 574 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,520 Yeah, we just popped in for a drink. 575 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,040 I'm thirsty. Maybe I'll go to a giant 576 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,120 McDonald's in the middle of the biggest tourist attraction in 577 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,640 America. Some guy said this, This is the 578 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,200 peak of fine dining. They did so much to please me. 579 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,520 They went above and beyond. Even put a pickle on my slice of 580 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,280 burger. That's the most elegant place 581 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,360 you'll find New York's has. Sit down, enjoy the scenery and 582 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,280 great food. That has to be trolling. 583 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:29,200 That has to be trolling fine dining. 584 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,520 OK, let's look at some real bad reviews. 585 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:43,160 OK, Peter says avoid terrible food per service visited shortly 586 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,920 after some restrictions lifted. These policies are stupid 587 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,680 enough, but lies, manipulations are another thing and how we 588 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:55,600 treat each other as another. Ah, allowed to order inside but 589 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,680 take away only after ordering. Told to keep a distance of 590 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,400 around 5 metres even no one else was there and two metres were 591 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,120 recommended. Not to mention the girl telling 592 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,280 me got very close to me yet was told to stay away while my order 593 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,400 was ready. So the exercise was preceded 594 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,600 just to make me feel like a slave coming to be told how to 595 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,960 behave and where to stand. I mean guy, that's what the 596 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,200 world is at the minute. He says he got so angry and rang 597 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,720 a manager. I mean it doesn't say of 598 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:19,920 McDonald's. He could have rang Jose 599 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,960 Mourinho. Jose, I'm trying to get a Big 600 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,480 Mac here in Times Square. I don't care. 601 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,480 I don't care. I have to prepare for Arsenal. 602 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,400 We on Saturday. Chris was trying to explain that 603 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,160 stuff is there to make me feel good and welcome. 604 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,480 But these words were empty because I feel ver because life 605 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,480 verified them and I felt like a fool. 606 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,280 This sounds like Peter here has bigger problems. 607 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:49,440 Bigger problems. 465 Sky says you're crap and never get orders 608 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,240 right. Half the time you're out of 609 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,720 stock and don't say anything when you get to the counter. 610 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,120 Disappointed. I mean, McDonald's shouldn't be 611 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,320 out of stock. What's it out of? 612 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,320 All right, here, listen, we've no burgers or chips on here. 613 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:02,480 Is there anything else we can do? 614 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,800 We've no baa ba, ba ba. Listen, we've no burgers, chips 615 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,000 or chicken. What a wee pasty do you? 616 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,920 Again, why are people just stopping in stop stop one night 617 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,080 for a quick drink and bite to eat from my daughter. 618 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,560 Oh my God this was the dirtiest McDonald's I've ever seen. 619 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:28,280 Filthy rude. Manager was rude when I stated 620 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,520 why can't they ever get my 2 item order Right response. 621 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,800 You don't have to come here. Fucking fair dickhead. 622 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,400 That's fair. You don't have to go there if 623 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,840 you get If they keep getting it wrong, don't go there. 624 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,480 Go somewhere else, you'll be a lot happier. 625 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,920 The definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and 626 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,840 expecting different results and I've delivered that wrong. 627 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,880 That person's written multiple reviews that that. 628 00:33:53,320 --> 00:34:00,640 Bet you that person got sacked. K2184A says gross. 629 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,160 I hate it. The food tastes like poo. 630 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,200 So I threw a pie at a worker and went home and watched baby Yoda. 631 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,600 I went back and in my Rolls Royce my dad got a pie machine 632 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,040 and spammed them like it was Fortnite baby lol. 633 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:15,159 Haha noobs peasants. I mean could easily have been 634 00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:19,000 written by Mike McGoldrick. I threw a pie at them in my 635 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:25,639 Rolls Royce. Peasants, someone wrote. 636 00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:27,719 Packed, as in like, there's a lot of people there. 637 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,800 Well, that's weird. There'll be a lot of people in a 638 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,360 McDonald's in Times Square in New York. 639 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:38,159 Isn't that funny, cock? Speaking of cocks, this time 640 00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:48,560 tomorrow, 4 minutes time I'll be going in to get to get see all 641 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,600 the ones I'm seeing are from England. 642 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:56,159 Do you know what I mean? Sarash, who's from United Arab 643 00:34:56,159 --> 00:34:59,000 Emirates, he said visit a McDonald's at JFK airport in New 644 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,800 York, find everything to be horrible. 645 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,120 Well baby, this isn't the one you're reviewing. 646 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,320 The service quality, prices and taste of food, ambience, 647 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,600 cleanliness were all poor. Many restaurants have closed 648 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,520 down in Terminal 4 as a result. This restaurant has a sort of 649 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,400 exclusivity where this type of fast food is concerned. 650 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,960 I mean, not the not a word you associate with McDonald's, let's 651 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:22,160 be honest, exclusivity. I'm a gentleman who likes some 652 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:27,640 exclusivity in my life. So perhaps realising customers 653 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,640 don't know much of A choice, management has decided to have 654 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,840 good quality, very low on their priority list. 655 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,360 I would not recommend this to anyone who does, who would walk 656 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:39,240 about being like, listen missus, there's a restaurant you've got 657 00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:42,920 to try. It's the die for. 658 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,960 Where is it? Oh, it's got a real exclusivity. 659 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,600 It's handy enough. It's at JFK Airport and it's 660 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:59,000 McDonald's Tony Cardiff who actually says is also from 661 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,760 Cardiff, which I like. OK, that's weird. 662 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,280 OK. Very cramped. 663 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,920 Typical McDonald's will never return after my son spotted a 664 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,160 mice running around the restaurant. 665 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,320 Mention that the employee who just shrugged as if this was 666 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,640 normal would be closed down in the UK. 667 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:18,800 Yeah, you've got to expect that, though. 668 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,160 Times Square, New York McDonald's. 669 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:22,280 Jesus. I'm surprised. 670 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,800 I'm surprised they don't have the mice on the payroll, you 671 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:26,640 know, serving you up. What? 672 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,720 I was going to say Whoppers. That's obviously not what that 673 00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:31,080 is. We'll do one or two more here. 674 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:43,840 OK, hang on. OK, here we go. 675 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,440 Lessons to be learned. What? 676 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,280 What starts a TripAdvisor review with that? 677 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,920 Lessons to be learned. Went in here as we retired from 678 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,880 sightseeing all day and assumed that we could expect a 679 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,440 reasonable service. Forget it. 680 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,600 Rude staff, serious attitude issues and the place was filthy. 681 00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:02,200 Staff obviously didn't want to be there and so rude. 682 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,840 I thought it may be us but they were rude with all the 683 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,880 customers. Filthy place and unwelcoming 684 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,280 staff. The person under this rights the 685 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,680 homeless had taken over. The restrooms are filthy. 686 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,760 There was a syringe on the restroom floor as everything is 687 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,760 tremendously filthy. Hey, that could have just been a 688 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,800 guy doing steroids up his ass. OK, so don't judge. 689 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,880 The sheer number of homeless abuse in the place should be 690 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,400 avoided, especially late at night. 691 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,200 I mean, I think that's one of those things where like, if you 692 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,680 don't want to see homeless people, don't go to McDonald's 693 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,200 Times Square. Like what? 694 00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:43,720 What are the, what are these people hoping for? 695 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,560 You know what I mean? What a, what is the goal? 696 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,840 Because you're not like what you're searching for. 697 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,560 You're probably not going to find a Times Square McDonald's. 698 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,800 I think we should do more local reviews in the future. 699 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:03,040 I like that. And let me just say this, as I 700 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:07,760 was closing that tab, I saw another tab and it's from the 701 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,360 charity that, look, I'm a great guy. 702 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,560 I've done some work for them before, but they have a patron 703 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,520 who's a celebrity and there's a picture of him in this e-mail 704 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,520 I've been sent that I happened to click on by mistake. 705 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,240 And he's just like, smiling like, he loves it. 706 00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:23,520 And it's really funny to me. It's really funny to me because 707 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,720 it's just a genuine smile. And you just don't see genuine 708 00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:29,760 smiles anymore. You know, you're suspicious of 709 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:34,720 people who really, really smile. You know, it's all about like, 710 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,640 you know, quick smile nowadays, you know, mouth closed. 711 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,880 But what about what about people who are just, like, you just 712 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,560 don't trust anybody who's smiling. 713 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,200 And this person's very famous, and they're just smiling. 714 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,520 And I don't know why, but it's very funny to me. 715 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:56,360 Very, very funny. OK, look, this is a shorter 716 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,280 episode this week. And apologies, it is a bit all 717 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,600 over the place because my mind is all over the place. 718 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,160 Because tomorrow I finally become one of the chosen people. 719 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:11,800 What about, like, should I look at becoming Jewish? 720 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,120 Becoming Jewish? Yeah. 721 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:21,560 Like, we could get very, very sweet tea with me, branded 722 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,040 yarmakis. That could be cool. 723 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,000 I texted me today, and I told him about this because I didn't 724 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,520 just tell him I didn't know where we're supposed to be doing 725 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,360 something tomorrow. And I had to say, look, we 726 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,960 pushed that back because I'm getting this thing done. 727 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,440 And then my mate was like, yeah, welcome to the club. 728 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:43,240 I didn't know he was Jewish, so let's see what they're all 729 00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:50,320 about. Apparently if you want to 730 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,120 convert, you've got to get hooked up with a rabbi. 731 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,480 OK, so if you want to convert to Judaism as a guy, you do have to 732 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,160 get circumcised. If you're already circumcised, a 733 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,600 single drop of blood is drawn as a symbolic circumcision. 734 00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:19,280 Wouldn't be keen. You know, it's not a missionary 735 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:20,520 face. You don't have to actively try 736 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,240 and convert people, right? So I don't have to give people 737 00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:24,600 like a discount code to sign up to get them also to become 738 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:31,400 Jewish. King David himself was a 739 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:32,440 convert. Love that. 740 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,800 OK, I mean, that's a a difficult website to read, but to 741 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,960 understand. But yeah, I think I'm kind of 742 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,440 partly Jewish, which is cool. I like it. 743 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,600 I would like to get June. I was thinking of doing for a 744 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,480 podcast. It was like genuinely real talk. 745 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:55,760 I was thinking of getting like, is this a stupid idea of getting 746 00:40:55,760 --> 00:41:04,280 like a Muslim cleric from here, a rabbi, a priest, a minister 747 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,680 and just like getting them involved, like just doing a 748 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,080 podcast, getting them down to the studio when we can't and 749 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:14,000 just do an episode and go on. What's the crack here? 750 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:21,360 You know, because I, I, I would love to know like, well, maybe 751 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,200 we have these people on individually, you know, and it's 752 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,360 not me like wanting to roast them or anything like that. 753 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:32,080 It is just a genuine, like, it would be funny for us to have a 754 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,560 conversation, I think. And I'd be like, you know, what 755 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,920 do you think of him and all? And he's like working, don't 756 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,360 start me in this game. What would this guy? 757 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,320 I just think it would be fun if we got the right people. 758 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,040 I don't know, maybe just because we've got the studio. 759 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,080 I'm just losing the run, losing the run of myself a bit. 760 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,880 And Dan is already very worried that I will want to change the 761 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:55,240 backdrop in the studio because we've now committed to getting 762 00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:56,680 this done. It's been painted on the wall. 763 00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,400 I said the other day I text him because he couldn't come down. 764 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,160 And I said, are you OK with us getting this painted, this 765 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,000 colour? And he goes, yes, but in six 766 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,800 months you can't turn around and say you want to change it. 767 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,520 So what we should do to really crack them up is wait for about 768 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,120 3 weeks and then I'm going to go down. 769 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,400 We should go mint green. You know he hates it. 770 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,800 Next week, Jimmy Lee O'Donnell is going to record an episode 771 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,680 with us. Dave Elliott is coming on the 772 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,840 Tuesday episode. It's a new dawn. 773 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,480 It's a new day for the podcast. We're feeling good. 774 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,720 Andy Malone going to come do an episode 2. 775 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,880 It's a good time. Apologies that this episode was 776 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,680 short and kind of shit and like a bit all over the place, but 777 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:40,880 you look, you've got it, you've got it. 778 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,200 You've got to own your mistakes. And it was, it's maybe a mistake 779 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,080 for me to get circumcised. It was definitely a mistake for 780 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,680 me to do an episode the day before I get circumcised because 781 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,400 I'm thinking a lot about getting circumcised. 782 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,800 But I just want people to reply under this and that and just I 783 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,920 just say Shalom, that's it. That's all I want. 784 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,040 So Shalom everyone. We'll see you on the other side, 785 00:43:01,240 --> 00:43:06,440 and next week when we do the episode, I will be without 786 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,280 foreskin something to think about.
