 Welcome to episode 31 of the 1878 FM podcast. We are joined by Andy Busch today who's being A wall for the lap but not not necessarily a wall buddies being a wall Yeah, been missing for the last couple of weeks with other duties, but am I Okay, so we could with those to be a childcare package. Yeah What about that? Yeah, maybe the thing is the thing is so that that when I'm getting on the floor, right? I have applied for official leave of absence and the meaning of a wall is absent without leave Yes, therefore mean I don't think you fully accounted for yourself. All right, so there's some paperwork is there Dave I should have filled in. It's that what you're saying. Well, it's online now. It's all modern. You can do it online It's just you go to you go to Ned Imagine imagine flash leave forward slash bush forward slash why Yeah Ned's HR portal Listen in other news out bush aside from the leave issue I have something else to to pick bones with you because It seems that you're you're trying to infiltrate my pastimes and maybe become me Yeah, do I try dog in this? Great scene down there. So, you know, I've been doing some viti-esque long long distance What's this all about? Where did it come from? Why and how and when I think it's you Dave? You're the audience. How did I join this? It is I got a paddle board. We're gonna transport a pasty across a riverway Next week. I always cycle for work. So it's always quite functional But we've always had this idea of wouldn't be great because obviously from you know Devon originally goes from One coast to Devon to the other. So me and two friends did it at the weekend So we did Barnstable to Oak Hampton stayed the night in an absolutely terrifying travel lodge the big ones and then straight out the deliverance and then and then we did Oak Hampton to Plymouth. So it's like a hundred miles over two days And I wore padded shorts for the first time Dave when you do your cycling Jeff padded shorts. Yes, I do Yeah, yeah, very much a necessity. Yeah, I would say the nether regions from chafing and such My ones have got braced the thing I wasn't expected about them expecting about the whole trip was that the padded shorts had like braces So it's like a pair of shorts Yeah, they're a little bit like sort of elasticated laid-a-hose and our name. It's a bit like said Fred's I won't be honest with you. They make it difficult. They make it difficult if you need to go for an impromptu You know trip to the bush bush, you know, you know to relieve yourself Then it's difficult because you have to kind of take it all off, don't you? Yeah Well, this is it when I was getting changed. I felt like I looked a bit like do you remember back in the in the early 90s There was a chat room advert, which was Great, I'm a convert now it's Recreational cycling is great And I have got said padded shorts by the way But I just want to ask a question just came to him. Have you ever thought I mean, maybe they're not not you Andy because you're new to the padded shorts scene But maybe for Dave have you ever done that thing where you've got to you know your last pair of Pants say and they are those padded shorts and you've had to wear them for non cycling No, you see because so I haven't got so maybe there's a bit of a mix and I haven't got padded shorts Which you're like under bar I've just got the all-in-one cycling full wanker gear, you know Oh, wow, I didn't realize. Yeah. Well. Yeah. Is that not what you meant? No, I've just got a pair of shorts I've got braces on them. Oh, right. Well, that's different. Well, they they sound more kind of recreational. Yeah Yeah, I need to up me gain get some pro ones. I think they they just yeah, I've got I've got I've got just like just Just keep talking for a minute. I'll go and show you mine. Okay From the dog and I've got like Lycra like Lycra underway, but with the padded binning why for cycling Once Dave's I'll get I'll get mine as well. You boys It has happened that I have got down to You've opened the drawing gun All that's available. Oh, there is is the padded shorts. You've done the I have done ever wore the padded shorts for toffee TV And I have come in the studio with them very comfortable. Yeah, very comfortable. I'll be honest No, you see, can I just yeah, I don't know if anyone I mean, maybe we need these two for this But you notice there's an increase in advertisements for like Basically nappies for human for men and women. Yeah, but you must have noticed I'll be honest Dave Dave Andy, I just have you noticed an increase in on TV for Underwear for that, you know that might get you out of a spot of trouble You mean first for stuff that catches leaks and what yeah, yeah, yeah Well, so so Targeted advertising president. Well. Yeah, I've not seen Well, you watch it all on the dodgy pelvis do your pelvic floor. I'm just saying that's what it's like wear them You get these you get that like a padded bit. Oh, okay when you sit down. Yeah. No, I've seen me missing feels remiss It's goes up. She's goes out cycling stuff. She's got padded. I've seen them and I take the piss out of it as well I see them, but I've not you need them. Oh, no, I'm sure we got okay visually. Wow. What? They look they go over the shoulders. Yeah, I mean they do they do look a bit rocky her a picture Do I haven't listened to any to any Frankie goes to Hollywood I just like to say I don't ever wish to be in in the London And see they've got like a gel packet Now that they're the summer version I knew I knew Dave for that different one These are the winter They they kind of zip up around your ankles, but the same kind of concept much as they go over the shoulders, right? Could you could you go to the game and not have to get up and go for a pee and miss a bit of the match? You just go in there and it'll sort of more out there for I Mean you could do I suppose but I mean only in the same way that you could piss yourself in any kind of garment I mean, well, here's my ones I'm gone. I'm gone. I'm gone. Lift them up a little bit higher, Andy. Lift them up a little bit higher Hang on, and you're having a go at me? No, I'm gone. They are not cycling specific They are recreational leisure underwear They are, yeah, they're from the same site where like ladies or gentlemen may get like naces, outfits and stuff That's definitely under the right Fred section There's a shop down the road from where I work in Soho called Prowler It's something that you might get in there. I think there you go But you know what if it did the job? Oh, it did if I didn't have them like Dave was saying they're a necessity Yeah, I realized on that trip if you didn't have had a choice. I was a bit of a luxury Gooch It is good to get into all that stuff It makes you, you know, you go and buy all that. I've got loads of it for running and cycling and stuff You can go off the edge though with Yeah, some people could spend some crazy money Well, you could go off the edge, yeah, if you're riding where you are Brandy's there, look like now when you get see toddlers and the strapped the doorways and the jam of your pants That's exactly what they are Get them on the doorway, off you go, let them banter away 1970s child bouncer, thank you for that There you go, but it done the job, Andy And if it does the job, that's all that matters and it's interesting to get an insight into what what Dave's wearing Money's he's got those maps on Literally as soon as this finishes today because I'm technically on annual leave today, but I I wanted to obviously He didn't I'm I'm actually going to put this Club run as soon as we finish and get out on my bike this afternoon Really? Well, what I like about your kit, Dave is it appears that you can take it off And put it back on again quite quickly if you need to get changed in the hurry You know, it's the game fair play it's fair play. Um, let's just get this out the way it's all going to kits players I think we could do the whole episode without even mentioning it I've not seen it. I I I didn't get involved with it because I was cycling during the whole time it was on I just I got updates to different levels of swearing from my dad and my brother on our WhatsApp group. So I'm completely ignorant of it. I can I get a sense of how it went And it from what I gather it reminded me of the Brentford game last season where it was like Here's a chance for us to slightly push clear and it just everything went wrong. Do you know me? At least we had an excuse in the Brentford game that a they were very good and big We had a month's sense of where it's full them at the weekend for 60 minutes didn't really look interested They look like they wanted to be anywhere but Goddison Park And it was almost like when they went to one up it was almost like These don't really look so we may as well just enjoy having a little kick about and it could have ended up Five one at the end. Well Dave. I mean, I yeah, I I thought it was a real I don't know. I I I felt it was a real turning point for the worst for us in so much is Um, it was a game. We absolutely had to win. Yeah, when you look at the remaining fixtures It was the one that we absolutely had to get three points from Um, and the annoying thing is that had we played anywhere near the way that we played against Arsenal, for example We'd have walked that game. Absolutely. You know, and so once again like a broken record It goes down to commitment And levels of commitment or lack of in in this instance And it was the lack of commitment and the lack of effort that made it a very very easy saturday for fullum Who as you say didn't really look asked. They're not the best team in the world. They were missing mitrovich, you know, I mean We should have we should have absolutely guaranteed it and I did why don't you change stuff around what that's what I don't get I mean mo pay He's playing 4-4-2, but mo pay anyway is just useless. Yeah, it's a very true I mean just useless um, and um No, I just found it depressing because that was that was the opportunity to to get a vital three points on the board And now when you look at the remaining fixtures, they're a lot tougher than that Yeah, that's annoying because we have on those weekends where every all the other results were pretty We're all right This could have been daylight a little bit It's a difficult situation because so many teams are are in the mire that you know, you're never gonna get a weekend when it's perfect Yeah, no for us, but um There's a favor I cite everything as well So it could have been a real daylight Thing and we've just kept ourselves as you were pretty much Is it fair to say it's it's three from four? No, no two from five. Do you think five? No three from five, obviously Do you think salt? I think three from five, isn't it and leads obviously 11 goals conceded in two home games and still got a better goal difference than us No, I don't Yes, what does that tell you though, but the art the art had in this and and um And unless they're supposed to the one because they've played city and if under new management and Um, we'll have to wait and see but we've got to play them lester after play leads as well So they very much got there got it in their own hands But then so we because we're not in the bottom three. So it's a case of um It's somehow where we could pull off back-to-back results start with sardine going into the new castle game And that's what it take it would take back-to-back wins. I think to get us out of this But it's not listen. It's not over. It's not over, but he's saying boomer for safe then I think boomer for safe. Yeah, I think they're well safe. I think they are now I think only because what are the on 33? I think another win for them, Dave and that's it. So I think they've effectively got like half a dozen games Just a win one. Yeah, and I think and I'm sure they've got far as the home They're great form and the score and goals Something we don't feel about it. You know, like last season it was this kind of out of the blue Cataclysm and suddenly it all got really serious. Oh my god. I can't believe it I just got got kind of different feeling towards everyone. We've had the warning And I feel like it's all self-inflicted. We've you know, they've screwed around with the whole striking situation Yeah, we've only got ourselves to blame this time and You know and some of this stuff about I think I saw peds talking about it on twitter Just like making it like the fans on the fans again to try and get herself for the games and stuff like that It's like I don't feel like anyone can go through that again. Really. I don't know if it's there I think I'm in the I'm in the thing of It's not that I've like Gave up on them not bothered. I just haven't got the same I was terrified last year and this year I'm almost just like if it happens it happens. I think like you've just said Andy We had the warning I said yesterday on our final words show Last season and it feels about 15 years ago now, doesn't it when Rafa Benitez was appointed? But that was only last season, believe it or not, which is incredible All the hassle that went on around Christmas the dark beer home and all the brands being sacked and We sacked the manager and the transfer you know the transfer window was going on Lampard coming the last hours of in we somehow survived And we went and done the exact same thing again this this January the same thing loads of Fraur around the board they can't come back ever again The manager gets sacked we bring another one in late. We don't bring any plays and I'm aware we are and It's no surprise You can you can look at evidence team and say it's it's decent. It's awful. Whatever, whatever, whatever I think everything Defensively and midfield when when they've got the best team out there or you know strong team out there Is like a halfway up team But they are forwards the forward options are by far the waste in the league and you know, it says it all Diogo Jota, however, he's a Diego Jota scored Half the goals of everton's top scorer last night and he hasn't scored for months and months I got it last night in No, I know what I'm mean is everton's top scorer's got four goals. It's april Well, that's why and that's the way we are That's why I though I I don't think we're a good team or Anywhere near being a good team because I think it's a collective thing Your score goals as a team and yes, you do need that one personal finish the goals off for you But you need you need you need you need collective responsibility. We don't create chances. We don't score chances How many sitters though we missed in key moment That's part of isn't it it's like it's dead easy to say well We missed the sitter but that's part of our problem And I think I think a lot of us and I think this is the people say it's it's apathy I just think a lot of us deep down know that we probably deserve to go down because we're so bad And and and listen as much as we all don't want to I think I think deep down. We all know we are we're not a good side And I think once once you understand that and you realize because there's been loads of occasions where you're like We're unlucky or we've had bad rest decisions or you lose Like I mean, you know when you think of last season there were everything played against us, you know losing a player Out injured all season another player Wasn't allowed to play and and that's all being sorted out now You know Rich arson went to two two international competitions in one summer There was so much somebody fell out with our creative left back and wasn't playing all these things all those refereeing decisions And and there was a case of like if I like but this year was like we're rubbish We're just rubbish and I think everybody just feels like that. I think everyone's like if we go down we deserve to go down so I think the fact that you know We're even saying about the fact that it's a carbon copy of last year too many to you know To a greater extent just proves how we do deserve to go You know because as you say you can be unlucky in certain things once and but when you're seeing it all unfold again I mean I I still it baffles me the fact that you know after that crystal palace escape and we all just kind of thought Thank God for that. You know, we're safe and this will never happen again Yeah, and at least we now know that we start next season with a chance and we'll be fine and you know It will all be all be okay And here we are again in a worse situation and um, and yeah, we have every right to go down I think and if we stay up Dave I think a lot of us feel like we'll have to do all this again next season as well Well because we'll probably get hit by some yeah So I mean so that's the sort of again. That's the people are literally running out of energy and all I want the pain to be over. Don't you guys just wanted to I just want to know now. I just want the pain to be over. Let's just I don't know It's not letting go down. Just get yourself sorted out. Do you I mean? It doesn't really work like that I mean I know that that's what used to happen in the old days And they used to say sometimes a relegation is good for you because you go down you clear out all the You know that that you don't need you come back you regroup you come back stronger And it's all for the good it doesn't work like that anymore I mean, I know that burnley came straight back But with an outstanding manager and an incredible performance in that league But I don't see us bouncing straight out of the championship No, if we go down, I just want us to find whatever it is I guess just find our level a little bit because I'm sick of just like hanging on the dear life for the tail end We're not even fit to be in at the moment. It's a debt implications as well You know, it's not it's not just It's not just going down and it's not just the The lack of the premier league income which we would suffer from and therefore losing, you know our best players You know, whoever they are, you know on the highest money Um, but it's also the fact that then debts need to be repaid You know, which there's all sorts of other financial implications for us in particular Not just for a another premier league club. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, it doesn't really bear thinking about right now and that's why we need to move swiftly But that's but that's why that's why I'm so pissed off about Saturday because it was so important It's so important and and it was so doable and they just Didn't do enough or nowhere near enough and that could be Ultimately at the end of the season that three points could be the difference Would you know what the Everton way though sometimes is to screw up the easy route and then do it the hard way? So, yeah, maybe there's another twist in this little Shit tail that we're all on at the moment And it's going to be and they'll end up beating someone that we didn't have them down when you're looking at those remaining fixtures Or maybe, you know there for the grace of gods At the moment there are teams that just worse even though we're terrible There are teams that just happen to be worse than this at the moment And maybe that that will kind of we'll eke out a bit like that. I don't know That'll be the reason they stay up. They'll be because there's teams worse. It won't be But if everton are gonna go I hope they go in the next three weeks Because I just I can't be going to that bleeding ball with game on a knife edge It's just I wonder how how if it is doomsday scenario Like how many weeks ahead would we would you know? Do you know what I mean before the end of the season? Do you know what I mean? Oh god? It's going to get to why though, isn't it? You know one way or another? Yeah It's all so close and nobody's nobody's you know, I mean one other question though, right? Like if goodison was like goodison was in the palace game What's it gonna be like if we go down and what what will goodison part? I think it'll be It's gonna be nasty. I think like it's gonna be horrible. Yeah, it's gonna be forever's there and and Like you dread to think of it. It's why I couldn't believe there was no response to going through one down at the weekend From out of the manatee or the players. There was nothing. There was just like it was a game in May where it was 10 to 11 10th this is 11th place not to play for Just get it done. We all want to go on holiday. That's what it looked like from everything Did look like and then to be fair It just looked like a game that didn't mean a thing and it was uh That worried me more than any of the other defeats certainly undecided I was just looking thinking there's nothing in me. There's just nothing no leader There's nothing up the top end of the pitch the manager looks lost on the line as if he was shocked but His team selects and it's two o'clock should have told him what to expect Isn't it weird seeing a marco silver comeback that you know in play managers come back that we've chewed up and spat out It's weird, isn't it? Like he's got them playing nice football. What was it about us that? Men eat couldn't work at Everton. Do you I mean it's a question that no one can answer It's probably that's probably what it is pressure, isn't it? They don't have pressure They just they just don't have anything on them. I've been there. I've been to Daxa this before being to that ground probably There's much as I've been anywhere or nah nah to Craven cottage. I've been there so many times And it's win lose or draw. They're always the fans are just the same They just clap and like they score it. They just like clap we score people end up 10 rows down the bleeding stand I was walking behind a load of full-on fans going through Stanley Park After the game and I'll be honest number one the first thing that hit me has never seen so many pairs of white socks Don't you love the 80s? I love a white shot. Is it love a white shot? Is it night night air force ones and white socks? Is this a big this must be a big london thing? They love I'll just like they were walking along like they were on a school trip They were just like and I'm not criticizing them, but that just tells you the difference between Some fan bases doesn't it like three you've won three won away our fans will be bouncing and singing and it'd be Bit of a mad atmosphere these lads were like literally like they were on a geography field trip Like they were walking through Stanley Park to discover new kinds of dog shit. It was it was and they probably did He did. Yeah, hopefully all over there white socks Oh, don't be like that Well one final other question has how's this everton experience? Lessened your love of football ever so I hate football. I hate football. I don't watch any football I don't watch any football I just Andy I can't I don't watch the premier league. It's terrible. I watch a lot of MLS. I watch American Major League Soccer. I watch that because it's fun MLS is And I don't mind watching some bundles league of stuff, but at the premier league I cannot I've kind of to say that you know what I watch Wrexham against Notts County last Monday. I watched that. Yeah, there's a great game Exactly and that made me realize how much I hate the premier league But I still love football because it was entertaining. It was end to end. It was honest And it it is yeah, Evan. I'm just Evan. I'm just The just vampires, Andy. Yeah energy vampires energy vampires. Yeah or a horrible club But you know 31 wins in the championship next season Yeah, that's right That's the spirit best that you've got him. You've got to go to the positives, haven't you? um On Twitter Nick who is at unbelievable nick play you got tickets on the shelf. He's got fit listening. He's confident on big Says who does the best impressions out of you for? I'm gonna I'm gonna put it to you pet to be honest because because you're mad enough to do them I don't know the capability of bushing vitty in terms of impressionist. It's very limited. I'd suggest but I only speaking for myself Bush, I reckon bush has got a couple up his sleeve to be fair. I think he's got a couple But it's John. It's John Bishop was a winner. Well, hey The funny thing is you know when you're coming back from sounding your mom That's kind of it Well, it's difficult now impressions because you used to be able to do impressions freely before but now it's the kind of thing You get kicked off bridge of water carnival for do you know what I mean? So you can't uh, yeah, the times have changed Times have changed Is my our producer uh, Nick there's a brilliant um Nelson Mandela. It's never gonna be the light of day because you can't do that You couldn't do it. Do you know what I mean? He couldn't do it. Why is it just because he's not current anymore? I don't know what it is There's Nelson Mandela being cancelled. You've just got to know what the producer might be if he doesn't I think that's what that was more Andy's that was more Andy's thing with it Um unbelievable. Nick also says what's the greatest album of all time in your view? Oh Anyone want to think of that? It is isn't it? I mean Yeah, it is there is no answer to that question. Yeah What about what's your favorite album and what about that one? It's that easier to say it might be the greatest but one that You know, you you think that's a belt of this Anything no As action park by shellac there you go. Okay action park by shellac. Okay. Best album of all time. Okay The best album of all time Of all time He's dropped that in Action park the name of the album At action park is the name of the album and the band is called shellac. I thought she like was something that ladies Yeah, yeah, all the nails. Is it? Yeah, we're we're it's an american punk band. Where are they from? Uh, I don't know the America north america.

Have you heard of steve albini's like a famous producer who produced uh nirvana's uh in utero album or that kind of stuff It's uh, it's his band. They're good. They're still playing they're still going now. They're really good I'll be honest, Andy, this sounds shite I mean, it's no Eurovision, but I like the nails Professor poopy pants So, I guess we kind of we've kind of discussed this real name. Is it no obviously it's not a professor Yeah, we might be a professor. You just don't know His name is daniel poopy pants It says tips and tricks to help forget about evidence for dick. I mean, I mean andy's took up cycling Yeah, have you got any has anyone got any brought any new hobbies in the last three? Have you recently thought Need to take sure horizon forbidden west. Yeah, that's I mean that is mine PS5 PS5 quite helps me forget. Does it count as a hobby? Yes. Yeah, but what is it, Dave? It's not making a claim Oh back down barry. It's like I didn't I didn't say it wasn't a hobby Does it count as a hobby? Yeah, it does because sometimes when I play I wear my padded shirt Okay I know in oakhampton in devon Someone doing something that could be a new hobby We we cycled past this lad who was about 12 years old and he was hanging off a bridge with a bit of rope And a magnet the size of a bath plug. I thought he was hanging off the bridge with a bit of rope He was kind of hanging off that but he was he was fishing with a magnet and apparently magnet fishing is a big thing There's youtube channels dedicated to it and these people are pulling amazing things out of britain's canals and all that Not fish, obviously Not fish, but no, we never know There's a birmingham we've consumed in our rivers, I guess but come on. There's a group of women in birmingham that do it They're called peaky dippers. Oh, they sound like tits Fair play to me. I'm gonna get fagal sharky involved in this. Why why are you getting fagal? See this is a man who knows nothing in the news fagal sharky fagal sharky of a girl He's the most the number one number one spokesman for britain's waterways Yeah, I was watching something the other day and I saw this interview Taking place on a riverbank and I was thinking that looks like fagal sharky But he can't be fagal sharky obviously from a good heart and that's exactly if he if he hairdo The hairdo was terrible a cadence. Yeah, he's the britain's number one Uh, water safety. Yeah, yeah, I love to love to get involved. He was on a program the other week on bc Say it like a good. What would it be a good? This day is hard Yeah, especially if you haven't got a magnet If you haven't got a magnet, I just think if he'd have gone magnet fishing in the uh, the canaling Then where was it where was it netherton where bill can like time as far you would have found that wouldn't you? No, it's made of wood It's it wasn't It's metal It's metal Is it it wasn't wood. Yes. What don't metal say bill came out of face is not like not a term right there Oh You wouldn't have found him in a canal, would you? Yeah Right, okay So magnet fishing Magnificent with That'd be great. I love that with his padded pants on That is an option. Sign me up. That is an option Um Stuart Thompson says would you ever convey from normal socks to tow socks or as I call them fuck gloves These aren't what the what like I've seen. He misses. Where is it? Where is it? Yeah, you can't see it entirely for girls. Yeah, I'm not sure you can say that anymore Can you not I don't think so you can't specify socks For people is he being socks us there? No, he's been well. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, maybe socks is I don't know who's having to go to socks or genders, but I don't okay I would just assume that they were predominantly Worn by girls. Why don't they wear a face because with high heels and stuff That's what I mean. I think that's how they started off again. I don't think you can move things can move Would you ever go from you know what you want to wear trainers in the summer you got better shorts off them Well, you don't you just basically don't Easy for you easy easy for you to say Well, I guess you don't see the rest of the fabric. Do you so you coming here don't yeah Ned's coming today with pair of shorts on I don't know why And it's drainage, but we can we can see that he's got black socks on yeah with his trainees if ned was to don foot socks If he could have a deco Fuck gloves, that's you it says I'm gone. You were all I'm going. Let me finish what you would see is Ned's ankle And it would look like he's only where he's got bare feet in his in the wrong end of the stick here Oh, yes. Oh, I thought you meant the socks had individual bits in That's him. He's a foot sock like a glove That's a toe socks. Yeah, but that so they're called toe socks That makes me think that they've got individual You said it's so fast. I was thinking if she ain't toe socks So I think he would have been a better striker than what we've got now And well, I might have this wrong, but I'm thinking the what you see the women has gone quiet Like he knows Andy. No, Andy's gone. Oh, no, Dave's gone. Oh, where's Dave gone? Andy's gone Right, okay, that's what I said, right I'm moving on. I'm not gonna wear them ones that I think they ask you It's uh, you're very sure what you should have them sent a picture so we could them know Please look look look. Oh, yeah That's what he's talking about.

It wasn't full of shit. It was Yeah, yeah, but it was 2000 It was 2000 years old or something and it was better than some of the stuff We have now Well, that's because they were ahead of their time weren't they the Egyptians But why would you head what lightbulbs batteries and flying aircraft ahead of the time?

Yeah, maybe there's more to it. Maybe Everton will stay up and other teams will be worse than us Maybe ancient civilizations were visited by aliens before the advent of humanity. Who knows? Maybe they just they were just cleverer people Because they didn't have all the distractions of I've ever shied that we have Do you know what I mean?

I was in the petrol station I just filled the car with petrol and I bought a half price easter egg for me That's not on that's not how it is. That's not how it is. Like you said earlier on day That's not how it works an orange twirl. Yes. Yes price three pounds only tremendous value for me Not for the kids not for anybody else for me. It should just be for you. Andy. Andy. I know you've got it Andy, I know you've got to go but last thing last thing very quickly, right? Favorite selection box chocolate that you wouldn't buy in a shop So we discuss things like you get a picnic or a lion bar. Is there anything go on anything? Bounty I'd never touch a bounty with a barge pole in a 24 hour garage But if you get it in a in a selection box, I absolutely love it There you go fair play Dave, where are you eating that egg? You can take that back home and sit in the lounge or sit in the car and have it In the kitchen with a cup of tea ready after the old uh get the kit on from earlier on in the podcast He's gonna go for his ride on his with his padded pants come back and consume his orange swill Always always use protection Go on mr. Bush, we will relieve you of your duties. See you next week I mean I'm fascinated by this go on so I what what are you getting in this Easter egg if that Easter egg cost six pound in the first place What are you getting in that Easter egg orange swill? Is it is it's is it's two bars with it two bars? I'd presume so it's a good point you make because because to be honest with you Um, I would have had no idea how much your regular Easter egg costs. Okay prior to this Yeah, so when so when I was queuing up to pay for my petrol and I you know, and I succumbed to a very um Well-worn marketing technique Yeah, the stack things which you might think about buying. Yeah next to the tills. Yeah And I was there and there's this whole whole stack of orange twirl Easter eggs and I like an orange twirl And I thought half price, you know, why not? And so I did but um, but then when she said it was three pounds and it didn't it did make me think Christ are these normally six pounds each which seems like quite a lot to me I think those they have gone off Easter eggs like no, I'm just I was just I was just wondering six I think you've been suckered in there, Dave I think you've done that you have done that thing in a petrol station Where you've got limited time to make your mind up because you Can't buy yeah, and they've actually not your nail mouth by very much. It's not actually I don't actually believe that was half price I don't believe that I think they've just suckered you know Dave we got a question from Carla and she did ask the other we put weed If the show had finished and I forgot to ask you last week so I'm gonna ask you right now about it There's a picture of you you might have told us this before but obviously everyone's forgot it So it was great. Obviously memorable the way you delivered it last time um There's a picture of you with 50 cent And I think you might have an evidence sheet on in it or whatever. So yes, can you explain for Carla and Rest the people listening and us in the studio How that came about and uh, you know the little backstory to that please Yes loosely, um, we were in new york and we did our breakfast show from new york for a week And in doing so we actually went out and we did some interviews Um, two of which were with puff daddy and with 50 cent and when we went to go and see them Clang, yeah, that's a go-clang not a go-clang double clang Um, and when we went to go and see them, uh for reasons which are still not fully clear I took an evan shirt and chris morse took a lead shirt And we have pictures of ourselves with those two and that's how it came about Yeah, there's nothing actually even any any more clever really than that. Okay. Just showbiz. Well, that's all right, isn't it because I think the thing about it is was there any Was there anybody who? Did they didn't reference it at all or did you just think it was a shit you about them? Did you say this is evident or or whatever or? I think we might we may have briefly discussed it, but he he he wasn't fully aware of our back for anything like that at the time Okay Even even he didn't know our best side then no We wouldn't but I guarantee you he would have you know, we wouldn't have messed up But nobody's much of the abdomen in the last seven years And I just wanted to bring your attention to this one because I did see this and think of you and it terrified me. I'll be honest Um Terrified girl clings to paddleboard a drift in the Atlantic for 22 hours Until a medical rescue a girl swept out far to see on a paddleboard by a free wind I'm a strand of the loan for 22 hours Erica vincent was who 17 was found the drift 28 miles out in the Atlantic ocean last week after clinging on to a boat for dear life Scares isn't it? You know, you gotta be careful with currents and stuff and I watch these programs all the time. I hate them Oh I watch all these kind of saving lives at sea programs as well when we have all these sort of real life things I love all that But no, you've got to be careful You've got to be careful of where you go and winds and stuff like that And in fact, I'm not even going on the river by me at the moment Not that I'm worried about getting swept out to sea but you're running too fast And you're advised not to do it because you won't have full control over the board safety first See that's that's it. That's responsible. Would you ever wear your padded thing on your paddleboard? So padded pants with paddle board now drag your dad Yeah, they would drag you down and and also there's no there's no need because you you don't have any You don't have any frictional contact with your your posterior and and anything hard Hopefully From endless sites, it's always there with the inside rotten the thing What an instant drop me tremendous insight to paddle boarding with davidie again another another channel five paddleboards, that's me And what is wrong with that nothing anything other than nothing heaven Do you go right?
