 Welcome to the 1878 FM podcast full house today. But back, Bush is back. That's my name. That's my name. Yes, he's back. Good to be back fellas. I miss you guys. Yeah, I'm good, I'm good. I miss you guys. Are you all right? You behave yourselves when I was away? No. Yeah, I mean we, you know, listen, we struggle through when you're not here Andrew, but you know, we do get by and it's lovely to have you in full attendance today. But I think, you know, for me personally, I'd like to start with agenda point one and just to say how lovely the respective haircuts of Peter and Barrington are today. And I see that you've both been done. Do you go together? Discuss. No, no, no, we don't, we don't. We don't, I actually go very, very far out my way to get my hair cause I have to go to. Oh, you got a scam, don't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just before we get into this, Peds hair is just to give us a little tilt there. Peds, I'll get your hair turner. Very high fade. It looks like, you know, when you go past the hairdressers, they've got like a slightly faded book of Turkish hairstyles. Yeah, yeah. Bang on top. It's got that kind of look. Baz has got kind of slight side parting and again, another high fade, but it's got a kind of military look to it. Yeah, I like that as well. That's gray hair. That's gray hair. That's gray hair. That's just, it's. Sorry, Peds, please elaborate on your process of getting your hair cut. Well, it's a booking system, of course, which a lot of major hair places are doing now. And I have to go way out of Liverpool too. There's a place, Andrew, called Skem, Skemersdale. It's outside Liverpool and what's amazing about Skemersdale is it's obviously one of these, like it's Milton Keynes of Liverpool, effectively. So it's full around the boat. Full around the boat. Can't get out. But the major thing about Skem is it's like Hotel California. Once you're there, you're stuck because it doesn't actually have a train station. So I think people just got lost and just decided to stay there. And there's like the Scouts Accent, but they're not Scouts Accent. They have a slight twang. And when they say they're going to town, it's probably home skate, which is really, really, really worrying. How did you end up having your hairdresser there? How did that begin? So basically, there was a barber in Liverpool who used to go by the name of Cutthroat Peter. He lost it in the divorce. And two stories. And he's big, big evertonian. Cutthroat Wayne Rooney's hair, Cutthroat Ross Barclay's hair, Cutthroat John Stones. He cuts loads of players. Honestly, I'll go into it off here, what some of the process he basically, he sometimes goes down to St. George's Park and cuts all the England players here. Anyway, he doesn't cut my hair, but he did have a bar, he did have a barbershop using his name where he was upstairs cutting Leighton Baines' head and downstairs you'd have the run-of-the-mill barbers who were also very expensive. And I wanted a good barber, because you know what's like, you go in, you've got the anxiety of sitting there, you've got the anxiety of asking the guy exactly what you want and you end up coming out with something completely different. So I went in there. I had a little bit of a reset. I thought, you know what? I'm doing all right. I'm on telly every day in a way. I've got to look presentable. I've got to have a decent haircut. And I basically just sourced them, found the guy called Darren, found that he was in Evertonian. And basically what happened is, Joe was in Covid, he had to set up his own shop up in back home in Schem. It's not a great story to listen to and ramble on. It's a story. But it is just that, it's very much like this is what we have to listen to in bed every day. It's just a story. And I followed them to Schem because he knows my hair. He knows what I've had. Can I ask, come on. No, God, I'm just going to ask what you actually asked for. I asked for nothing. Now, that's the beauty of it. I just sit down, relax, and listen to whatever podcast they're listening to on the big telly. Yesterday's was about an essayist guide. Because you know, all these youngsters are fascinated with like war and evil. He doesn't want to go. Like it's the call of duty mentality, isn't it? I've done a campaign, lads. I want to listen to this fella. Darren, you don't because I've done a campaign. So mine is a different experience. So I've had, you know, Penny Lane, there is a barbers. Well, that's basically where I've had my hair cut since I was eight, seven, eight, right? And a cut of the barbers moved on, but a girl who's cut my hair for about 25 years. So I'm in the same thing. Go into a dell, sit down. Don't have to say where. She just does it, Baba. They just know. They just know. But the problem is, yeah, exactly. The problem is, she's left the shop. So she's gone to another place and she's only there two days a week, whatever, whatever. She's only there in the Monday and Tuesday and Zach, obviously, Zach comes with me. So Zach come in last week. Actually, your son is my son, my 12 year old family set up, yeah. That's the one, sorry, yeah. And Ped will be a witness to this. His hair was shot on last week, wasn't it? Yeah, he, yeah. Yeah, there's many things I could say, but I won't say them. So we needed a haircut and things, the best thing to say, doesn't it? And he was like, dad, and so last week. Really take that. It was really take that. Mark Owen, Mark Owen, full of crap down. You know, he was, he was about, it was just a little bit shy of Gary. No, not Gary, not even. The one out of, um, Dengue. Gary Barlin. No, the one who, even earlier than the 80s, the one who had the human league. Oh, yeah, yeah, Philo. Philo, yeah, not a Gary, not a Gary, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not by his choice, just by the fact of the night. Brother, of course, Gary. So last week, the kids were off, when the, the kids were off on because of the strikes. So that was the time to, so I had to do that thing, give me a bit of anxiety. My ear was terrible. My ear was getting closer with Gary. You've been a bit harsh on yourself. No, I was getting towards a guy, Alan Barlin. It was, right? Nice one. So we had to do that thing of going somewhere else. So we've gone pulled up with this year. The barber was playing the guitar and that got my vote. Yeah, there you go. He went in and he was brilliant. What was he playing on the guitar? I don't know, he stopped when we opened the door. Obviously he was just there. But he was a dead nice fella. Cut tracks here, looks great. Also, it's a dumb mind. Brilliant's been there for years, ran a corner from where he used to live. Don't know why I never tried him before. And so that cured your anxiety. That will probably become, that'll probably be our barber. Because he was great, he was great. I don't understand the anxiety of going into the barbers and stuff like that. I said last week, I hate going to get me, I don't, when I'm sat there going, oh my God, but I hate that. Even going to a delt, I've got to go and get me a cut. How many people are going to be waiting? You don't have a cut. No, I have to go to Schem, though. But you do have to go to Schem. So there's that thing about, I remember when I used to get my haircut in Bricsom in Devon when I was a kid. Paul's barbershop in Bricsom. Paul was good. The guy that he worked with used to absolutely murder you. It looked like a bucket of chips at the end of it. So I would go early. I'd get there, bearing in mind, this was a teenager. So you normally lie in bed. I used to get down there for seven in the morning. Because I knew that the other guy didn't start until half seven. That's how much you go the extra year after the year. Would you ever say to the guy that you don't want to cut your hair? Actually, I'll wait for... Well, yeah, I was going to say, I've done that lots of times and I just now generally feel bad for the guy that you've gone, no, I'll wait for him. I'm waiting for him. I've done it in the shop. I've done it with the girl. So I'd go in and one time I let her cut me hair. And like Andy said, I've said this to you before. She kept asking me, like, a minute into the haircut, is that all right? And I was like, no, I literally told you. Number one down the side. You haven't even touched on all that anyway. So we got to the stage where I was just like, no, we'll wait and then you feel bad. And then it got to the stage where she knew. So she almost had the cob on. And this one time, I bang, this one time, we were going to, we were going to Florida and it took me and Zach when in, and Adele was off on his own here. And it was the flip of the coin. Do a gamble or do, and we let her. And she just about managed it for her all of the people. That was that anxiety level. So no wonder Andy, you got up to go that far. So what is it? I used to have the awkward thing of, as you say, sitting in the chair and then thinking, right, well, I don't want to go next because I know that Gillian's going to be finishing about five minutes and I'd rather go with her. So then you sort of, but it is awkward because you're effectively saying, I don't want you to cut my hair or I'd rather somebody else's. But now I get around it by, now I actually book an appointment with Gillian. And therefore everybody knows where they are and there's no awkwardness, and we're all happy. But my uncle Dave is good in the hairdressers and he goes in and he sits in the chair and they say, how would you like your haircut? And he says, in silence. I'm going to try that. I always fall asleep. I feel so sleepy. Yeah, I do. I find it so relaxing. I find it so relaxed. But that's why I made sure like my barber was never Tony. It was the first thing I made sure to check out because I was thinking, you sit down, smugness comes in, doesn't it? The smug, you know, whether you've won or whether you've lost the smug, they just, you don't have to deal with this, Andy. They just smug. Anytime, if you've won, they pat you on the head and go, oh, it's all going to be okay. And if you've lost, they're going to tell you exactly why you lost. Oh, they're going to tell you why you're good. It was like, again, it's that thing in this city with like the taxi, if you're ever going to a taxi and you go, first thing they can ask you is you read all the blue and you go, I always go, neither mate, I like table tennis or something. Because it just couldn't not be asked having that conversation with some guy who hasn't not got a clue, basically. Can I say one weird thing that my barber, my hairdresser does with me? Tell me, many. This is born after you. Is this broadcastable? It is broadcastable. She washes my hair forwards in the sink. That way. That's a little. If you lean forwards in the sink like that, I felt like I was drowning. Took me back to being a kid. Do you know what you mean? Well, like you're being waterboarded again. Yeah, waterboarded. She waterboards me every three weeks. Fair play. Andy, fair play. You have to get your eyes extra for that. No, it's just, I've never, I've spoken to other people about it and no one else who goes to the barber has their hair washed forwards. They always have their hair washed back. Yeah, when washing it backwards makes more sense. Especially when you think about the positioning of the sink and also the runoff of the water away from your hair, that makes total sense to me. The forward thing is odd, but do you ever get that thing where they sometimes, they then sort of morph into a unasked-for-head massage? All right, have you ever had that thing where they start off by actually washing your hair and then they kind of just, and I always feel it, it just feels a little bit awkward because it's almost sexual. You know, when you're sort of there, but you know what I mean? You know, when you kind of think, this is quite personal, you know, this sort of level of touching and I'm kind of thinking, I haven't paid for extras, right? I must admit, during the pandemic, or around the edges of the pandemic, you know, during the pandemic, because of course, I had cake or something like that. I did quite like it when Darren used to wear his black gloves. Did you? I'll be honest. Maybe I found something a little bit out about myself, during that time. Fair. It was your vision, not the biggest vindicator. It was just that. Not that week. Not that week. It was just that, that extra little feel of that rubber against me. Listen. Wow, wow, Pat. Mate, mate. Listen, it's very insane. Different strokes, different folks, still felt about that. We're always leaning, we're always growing. And if we're not, then we're not. If anyone is able to put that feeling of the rubber against my head in quotes on a T-shirt, that's a great new line of merch. The sun's tremendous, lad. Let's do six minutes of football. Go on, mate. We had the good results, and we had the feel. We'll start with the bush, because we've not had the bushes' input since Evan have picked up. There's four points we've picked up since Andy was last on. So, Andy, Chelsea away at the weekend. Tough game, Evan obviously just beat Brentford. But going behind, Swyce in the end, picking up a very, well, in my opinion, a very good point. Yeah, I think, you know, we've talked about the mentality changing. He's definitely changed the mentality, the way that they don't give in. We don't collapse like we did under Lampard, like when stuff inevitably doesn't go our way because we mess up and give people stupid chances, or give away stupid penalties, et cetera. And there was, you know, there was definitely still a bit of that in our play against Chelsea, you know, for leading up to the penalty and giving the ball away, et cetera. But they keep going. They keep going at it. And I was just over the moon for Sims. It was just, I can't stop watching that goal. The way he went past the defender he just absolutely turned him over. It was, I've not seen an Everton player do that for a hell of a long time. And it was just fantastic to see. So yeah, I mean, my dad sent me a screenshot the other day. I don't know if you've seen this, the league table since Deich took over. And we're like seventh or sixth. So you can't argue with it. And as of the, you know, this morning's recording that, you know, Palace have got, have put Roy Hodgson back in. That, you know, I feel like a few things are going our way, do you know what I mean? We've just got to keep on going. We've got some tough fixes coming up. It was hugely encouraging over the weekend. It really was. Dave, what was the best thing for you about the result? Again, I mean, I'd agree. It's all about mentality, isn't it? You know, and that's the one thing that Sean Deich said the word mentality about Harvarders and Times in the post match interview that I saw. And that's the thing is that under him we are far more solid and far more just substantial and just don't collapse in the same way. I don't think we would have got that result under Lampard, certainly of late. And, you know, confidence just seems to be a lot better. And, and yeah, you know, I think especially coming back as well, you know, when, when, you know, when we've gone behind before, you just think, oh, this is it, you know, when this could get really, really rotten, but to actually come back likewise delighted for Ellis Sims. I mean, not taking anything away from him. I thought the keeper had a bit of a shocker with that, to be honest with you. I thought the keeper should have had it, but that aside, the way that he went past was at Kula Bayee or whatever like that at the back. And, you know, kept his composure. I thought it was great. And I'm really, really chuffed for him and for his confidence as well, because, you know, he's a lad that needs that confidence. Apparently he went to see Sean Deich in the week and he was saying, you know, what do I need to do? What do I need to improve in terms of my game? And he sort of highlighted sort of three or four points in terms of sort of playing tougher and player stronger. And that's what Sean Deich did. And that's what he did. And we all know how, you know, goals can change, you know, the head of a player hopefully for the best. So I think, and as you say, Andy, I think in terms of other stuff around us, I think that we are as well-equipped as anybody in that bottom nine, in terms of, you know, to give it a good go. I mean, it's tight and it's gonna be tight all the way through and there's teams down there with games in hand on us and whatnot, but they've got to win them. And for sure, we'll end up in the bottom three again. I have no doubt, but I think that we are as well-equipped as anybody. And as you say, when you see Roy Hodgson getting reinstalled at Palace, you know, you think we've got a decent chance at this. And the Sean Deich change has been marked in terms of its improvement. Also as well, just that ball forward to Sims I haven't seen that in a while from Everton. Do you know what I mean? That kind of like, you know, a player wanting the ball on the shoulder of the defense. And then it's that kind of, you know, because you've seen it so many times we get into a good position and it gets recycled out of the wings again, come back and it just fades out and it just falls apart. So it's just nice that, you know, we can have a bit more directness in our play. I don't know whether he'll start him in the next game. I don't know what this means for him, for Sims. I don't know if it will be a start in the next game, but it surely opens the door of possibility because we've been so starved of any kind of attacking threat. I mean, that's the other thing that you can't deny from the game, even though it was great to get back in it. We didn't offer a hell of a lot. I mean, I watched a few different types of highlights of the game and there wasn't that many. I know sometimes the blues get quite a poor showing from edited highlights in different things, but we didn't offer a hell of a lot. But so it was a little glimmer of maybe of stuff to come, a way of playing slightly differently. I saw once you went behind, we were a lot sharper. We have more opportunities. Up until then yet, we were quite deserved, but I think for Sims, the confidence that he can score in the Premier League, he's done it. He's done it at a big, big ground. He's got a leg goal and it was an important goal. It wasn't 3-0 and he got one. And therefore, I think for him, we were saying, if yes, they just make yourself the first sub, make yourself the one the manager looks for and thinks you can change this game for us. Because I don't see him, I don't know about you, I don't see him putting Sims in right now, but I think... And I don't want him to either, to be honest with you. I don't want that pressure upon him, because I think you could destroy what was created in terms of Saturday, but I think as an impact player to come off the bench and he will now believe in himself. And as you say, it wasn't like he scored the third or the fourth in some kind of easy route at home. I mean, this was a crucial goal away from home to bring him level. Yeah, and that does you the world a good. Yeah. Does you the world a good. I think per the mentality thing has been probably the most tangible thing out of everything else, hasn't it? Because we're starting to, we've scored four goals in two away games, by the way, forever, which is a bit mad, but the mentality thing has been good. I think there's a lot of factors. I think Sean Dice, just the way he speaks and comes out and speaks to the media, probably takes a lot of the heat off some of the players, probably makes them think he can be a little bit freer. And with the three in midfield, there's a little bit more structure and strength to the whole team. And that allows, that keeps that mentality, you know. I just look at the set pieces and see how the set pieces are structured. The set pieces work. We tried the same one nearly all the time and we have a lot of joy with it. Back post, someone knocks it down, normally Tarkowski and someone's in there and we've got joy off it. And I just think, I think you just look at the players and think, do you know what they're doing now? And you know, we spoke yesterday about Michael Keane's role in the team and it's, you look at the numbers and obviously we pull the numbers apart at times, but you look at the stats from Saturday and Michael Keane is basically heading everything in the air and James Tarkowski is doing everything else, all the other stuff. And it's like, that's the reason he's in the team if people don't understand. And it sounds to me like that John Deitch has simplified so many things for players and something like that. If Conor Cody's in the team, and I thought Conor Cody did alrighty, he hasn't been in the same place since he came back from the World Cup, but I think he's not the tallest player. So Tarkowski's having to do all the heading and also have to do all the other stuff. Then what's Conor Cody doing now? Michael Keane's in the team and he's doing all the heading and that leaves Tarkowski to do a lot more. And I think it's just little changes like that. The core I play in as the midfielder that joins up with the number nine. Little, Obie's never did that. People couldn't have a creativity, but he never joined up. It was never after. It was never after. So no one else from the midfield joined up either. I think it's just those little subtle changes. White McNeil have a run of games and just get a little bit of consistency in his own game, a little bit of confidence. And that's all it is. I think it's just knowing your play. He's done anything drastic. I just think that Lampard had an ideology or a philosophy and it actually went against what we had to do. So it never really worked. Players never really bought into it because I don't think, I think they look at managers and go, well, if you don't quite know what you're doing, we don't really don't know what you're doing. Also what a change from like set pieces as you say they're ped for like, I mean, every time we had a corner against us, I thought that someone else, they're going to score. Whereas like now, I do feel a little bit, I feel confident with us defending corners. I feel that we might score every time we put a ball in the box. I've certainly felt like in the Chelsea game, we've got one that way and could have had another, you know what I mean? You're the common team saying things like, Evan, they're exceptional off corners. You're the manager, the brilliant off corners. You're seeing it now with, like you say Andy, they had four corners in injury time. The other day and the Evertonian in you thinks they're going to get, they're going to score this because we've equalised, but when you actually look at it, it's not even if anything's close. It's just we're winning the header and it's getting out for the corner on the other side. So in general, and I know listen, we scored the last two goals in Franck-Lampard's reign with corners, so it isn't all just since Dite's coming, but since Dite has come in, it's obviously got even better than it was. And it's just another weapon, isn't it Dave? If you can't score from creativity, having that option from a set piece is important. I think so. And also, as you said before about, you know, Decore and coming back to what we know is his best quality, I think, in being that box-to-box midfielder that we saw glimpses of before when he first arrived, but then he lost his way and now, I think, under Dite and with sort of redeploying him and obviously giving him that confidence, it's like having a new player, you know, and also, you know, with Keane as well. I mean, we said this before, it's no surprise that Dite had decided to, you know, trust in players that he knows well from before, you know, and in Tarkowski and also in Keane, he's got that two ex-players of his at McNeil as well. He's given, you know, newfound confidence too. So it is like having a couple of new players and I think it's refreshed things and it's just shored things up a little bit. And but yeah, again, we go back to the same words, mentality and its confidence and it's just not collapsing and yeah, he's made a huge difference. Do you have a thing as well? We're not part of the lad's Bible, football take the piss-patter carousel anymore. I mean, Ped was saying about, Dite has just kind of closed down the fire on everything. He's just put everything out and got it calm, even Keel, the couple just carefully charting our way out of this situation. And we're not like, I felt there's less memes, Everton memes or Everton jokes doing all that. We're going under the headlines again. Whereas I felt like with Frank Lampard, we were just this kind of like horror show all the way through and people were taking the mickey out of us where, I don't know, it's different now. We're not headline. I think as well, I think from Dice's point of view, and I haven't heard him say this and he wouldn't say it necessarily, but I always felt that when he came into Everton and he obviously saw the position that they were in. I think he took one look at the squad and I think he sort of thought, do you know what? These aren't, you know, they've got some decent players there. And in fact, certainly this is a better squad that he ever had at Burnley. Absolutely, yeah. And I think that's, you know, when you look at it, and that's the way that I think he's seen it in terms of the fact that he operated for a long time. We said when he come in, these, this squad isn't as bad as it's showing. It just wasn't looking at the players in it. Yeah, the short-up front, we know that. We know, you know, you can't take that away. Some of the squads below us have got better forward players, we know that, but then you're doing the defence we've got in the goalkeeper, you're doing the midfield plays, we've got a disservice by going, these are terrible. Because they're not, but they were looking bad because there was, like Pedser before, there's no belief in anything they were doing. And Andy, just on your point, the difference between the two, if Everton stay up and stay up, well, however it happens, whether he beat Bournemouth on the last day to stay up, or whether it's done a couple of games before. If Everton lost the first couple of games in next season, I don't think people would be saying straight away, Sean Dytter's favourite for the sack. Whereas this summer, Frank Lampard was favourite for the sack before a ball had even been kicked, he'd said himself. People have seen, I was like, in the bottom two managers, the first managers to be sacked. I'm not convinced that same narrative would be around Sean Dytter. Sean Dytter is a good manager. No, but that's what I'm saying. I think sometimes... Sometimes things get said about, like, not just this football club, that other football club, that you don't quite see when you're too close to them, because you have your favourite person, or you're just too close to it. People from the outside will look at the situation and go, that looks terrible, and we don't always take it on board. And I think that was the case with Frank Lampard. I think too many people bought into it. I'm not quite sure. I still see people going, I love Frank. I have no idea why they do it. I think they liked the PR, Frank Lampard, and his name. Well, fair enough. I like that he's actually been games with them. No, well, that's all right. I mean, he actually distilled it down. Yeah, but that was the same with... We said it a million times. We're saying Sam Allardyce. If you go and look at Sam Allardyce's record, it's actually quite good as a manager. Yeah, nobody liked them. Nobody really wanted them. Some will, because some will have gone well. Oh, right. You're right, though. That is the power of PR, isn't it? That's what PR is, isn't it? The power of PR? Marco Silva was actually a very good coach. Well, actually, I've got a better chance to keep a case of politics with them here, isn't it? They've got to be asked for that. They've organised them for a start. They won't do anything deep. They won't be trying to play out from the back, and all that. With Hodgson, it'll just be better organised for folks. We see the power of media. We see the power of pushing people into getting jobs. We've seen it when we got Frank, when... The other fella rung up Sky and had a little bit of a cry live on TV. It destroyed the whole thing for him. So, yeah. Speaking of the power of... Sorry, Angle. Power of media. Speaking of the power of media, I just want to give a shout-out to an evertonian called Wayne Brown, who has been tweeting Dan Juma after every single game where he's been sat on his ass on the bench. His last one was saying, how's it going, Dan Juma? Another busy weekend, was it? Oh, that is great. We have got to play that in two weeks. And also, by the way, is I... I don't think Conte's going to be there on the other side of that bloody international break, which pisses me off. Well, it's Ryan Mason. We could really do with him being there, because they're a mess under him. He's trying to get himself sacked, isn't he? He's just trying to get himself sacked. Do you know what? They're going to have a new manager just for that bloody game against us on the third of... Dave, without being disrespectful to Ryan Mason, it's Ryan Mason who has sucked the job. No, no. I'm not forgettable. I'm not even talking about Everton's game against Spurs, right? I'm not even talking about that. I'm just saying, from their perspective, you've got Antonio Conte and the next minute, you've got Ryan Mason at a time when they're going for the Champions League. So, Conte flew home yesterday, and I'm not being weird while I say this, but once again, it was the thing of a person in football going home via EasyJet. I know it. I know it. I just... Direct flight. Wouldn't you just think, though, like, you know, someone with that... I mean, if you've got the power... We've talked about haircuts before. Surely you've got the power to just jump on a private jet. I don't think you might like the EasyJet. Did you track him on Flight Radar? I did not. I wish I had, to be fair. EasyJet. I do love me. Doesn't have to pay for the deal. You know. Did I get this right? Did I hear over the last couple of days about his salary? Is it 15 million a year? Yeah. Exactly. And he's on an EasyJet. Yeah. You know, and you would think that 15 million... You wouldn't touch his salary by any... By any comparison in the top flight. It's the highest paid in the top flight, isn't it? 15 million per year. You would imagine that, you know, you can go business on BA, I reckon, for that kind of money. You might have listened... You might have wanted to be a man of the people. We once saw Marco Schilber with the leather cap on. That was a statement, though. Like, I'm on an EasyJet with me laptop out and I'm here for everyone to see him for it. Of course. We did see him. Nothing Antonio Conte does and keeps his head down. Like, I'm the EasyJet before he's managing his escape. With what's on his head? But he will have speedy boarding, won't he? And he'll swagger in like a complete Conte right at the end just before the flight goes. Is that before the flight goes? Is there anything where we're talking about Ned not being a Conte at the start? Is there anything more ridiculous, though, than speedy boarding? I like speedy boarding. Well, yeah, well, you would. You see, the thing is, I can remember years ago, now speedy boarding works but only, and here's the thing and this is where I fell foul years ago and this was with my daughter's mum, right, he was heavily pregnant at the time. And we did the speedy boarding thing because we kind of thought so that we can get on and like she's you know, uncomfortably about to pop and whatever, so we can get on and get our seat and we don't have that big scramble for the lockers and everything. But the problem is that that only works if you're going straight from the airport building onto the flight via say, one of those they could an air tunnel, air tube, whatever they are. Now, if you do what happened on this occasion, where there was a bus involved, what happens is you're first on the bus, which means you're last on the plane. So we had a priority onto the bus, got a seat on the bus, everybody all piles on and they're all literally squashed against the door like this. The door's open, everybody legs it up the thing, which meant that we were literally the last people on the plane. Shouldn't it be speedy D-boarding? Wouldn't that be better? Disembark from the aircraft D-boarding is the most to quote. When you get on the plane, this is terrible for this, when you go she's like edging for, where are you going? The plane's not going without us. The bags are on, there's a big queue, why are you joining the queue? You could sit there. You've got a seat. I'm with you. The ones who flap to get off, and I just think you're flapping to get off, but you know that especially if it's a bus, you're flapping to get off to stand on the bus. I get that, but I just don't get this though. That's why speedy boarding to me is just nothing to pay in. They get on a bus first, or sit on a plane for ages. Don't get it. I remember my dad used to make a stay sat down until they've already got the plane, then we could get off the plane. I always stayed with me that. Why do we have to wait until everyone else gets off? I'll be honest, when we were in America, there was a girl sat next to Ned, the guy we were with McCann, and she wished she had speedy boarding, about five minutes after we left Minnesota, she wished she'd boarded because they... I had to tell them off, I had to tell two young men off for the language. Two from American Girl and a sport in the airport and she was like, are they? Well, fans thinking they were in fine kit because they were making my toes kill. That's after I've been touched. No, it's not going there. Let's save that for another one. Moving on, that's 40. Everton done well, brilliant. No gain this weekend. We're brilliant for 30 more days to be playing again. There was a question from two weeks ago from Astro actually, and I forgot to ask it, and it was on about conspiracy. But what he asked, and I want to go to the two gentlemen first before we have our say. Bigfoot. He's talking about us by the way. You too, yeah. Bigfoot, right? What is it? Sasca Wichita or whatever they call him, right? Is he a myth or is he just the champion hide and seek in this situation? So, what are you can start on what you believe is with the Bigfoot? Andrew, do you want to go first or do you want me to? I'll tell you, I'd love to know your view of Bigfoot. I mean, you know, things that you never thought that you'd say. My thoughts on Bigfoot also known as the Yeti, is that correct? And there is another word beginning of Sasquatch. You sort of said it, but I wasn't convinced that it was correct. I wasn't convinced that. So, anyway, whatever it is, do I believe it's true? No, I don't. Because I can't believe that somewhere in the snow-capped mountains is a large hairy man-like being who just sort of wanders around. Are we saying that this is just one big hairy guy or are there lots of big hairy guys in most kind of ski-type alpine environments? Is that what we're saying? Are there lots of them around there? I don't think so. And I think that anybody that may have seen Bigfoot markings in the snow, presumably, and I haven't, I can honestly say, has probably been the subject of a hoax where somebody has gone out with a pair of size 40 wellies and has put them in there to facilitate this conversation. Andrew? I believe it. I think there are. Why do monkeys just stop and then there's us starting? There's no middle ground. Do you know what I mean? Why is PGTips adverts and stuff like that the absolute limit? Then there's a bit of a gap and then you've got us lots. Surely there's a bit of like you know, upright walking, no photos please. I'm sick of this, let's go and live up in the snowy mountain for a bit and get away from it all. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. In Oregon. Bigfoot is a large and mysterious humanoid creature perpated to inhabit the wild and forested areas of Oregon and the west coast of North America. It's also known as Sasquatch. Sasquatch? It's a bit like Raffer Seine Sasquatch. Is this like a race of people or just the odd one? I don't think it's one. There's got to be more. In 1958 Woodswick east and west of Cascade Mountains began to report creatures and discovering their immense tracks along logging roads enhancing the public recognition of the Bigfoot name. So essentially it's a community that lives in the forest, Bigfellas. America's a big place though, isn't it? You've seen the movie Deliverance Do you know what goes on up in those marines? I've also seen Bigfoot and the Hendersons Yeah, Bigfoot and the Hendersons is a better representation The Deliverance I've got to be said, it's a better and it's more family-friendly than anyone out to watch Deliverance Why not? Because America is a big place and those woods are the vast and these things have been living in them for a while if they are real. So if there was people going on their land they would be all the best hiding spots, wouldn't they? Also, it's on Loch Ness though, do you guys believe in the Loch Ness one? No, I think it's Pollux They didn't mess it up, did they? No, it's a load of Pollux Let's shut them in there It's a big block now, I think there was something in there and as time's gone by things of the story and that might be the case with this Tourism though, isn't it? It's a really sad story over the weekend of a guy who played for St. Ellen's rugby league and he moved to America and he went missing and he found his body over the weekend 18 months had been missing and he found them in the woods so 18 months lost in the woods that shows you how vast how vast the... I do believe there could be something out there or it could just be a really hairy smelly man going for a big walk with no shoes on That's classic Aston though because that's a very American thing but it's something that's not really part of our... It was just a fact he threw in that or the hide and seek champion I think he is the hide and seek champion Over in the Himalayas the Yeti's don't do it there's a similar version of it It's not just elevator and lift though they're just the same thing, aren't they? So are they distant cousins? Do they have any way to keep in touch? The hide and seek thing remember those Japanese soldiers in some of the islands that didn't realise World War 2 was over He's still playing hide and seek because he doesn't realise the game's coming I think some of them would refer to it as being more serious an issue than hide and seek Yeah, of course I think the theory of what Andy's saying is that... Single-minded devotion to winning Yeah The sad thing is though if they don't know the other side are not playing You're playing against yourself You're playing against yourself You're still a nigger No one's looking for you I'm a Yeti Not a saswitch, that's my name You're a hide and seek winner If you're there and you're sure you'll be gone do you think they're calling for us like that? I'm not being funny, I've gone grey while we win this game There'll be no fades there Do you know a barber now? There'll be no fades there It's very interesting Isn't it just? Because you said the hairy smelly man of the feller in life of Brian who's, you know, who's sat in the hole And he's got that big beard But he's not big though, is he? But a big of hair is enough to do I just wanted to get that reference in even though it was nothing to do with it Very interesting Andy, you missed my story last week just about at a piece of metal found in my eye I didn't like this story I want to go back over it, but just just because Andy talked about aliens you were focusing on in certain things up your bum I think aliens sucked me and put something in my eye because there was a metal piece in my eye There was a rusty ring in my eye that's how they clocked it and I had to go back over it again How did you get I went to an optician for a normal thing, scan behind the eyes blah blah blah, check all your eyes whatever whatever at the end I said last week if you were imagine like a loathing screen I was on like 98% of the visit done everything was great, best eyes they've ever seen, although need glasses for reading and then she just said you have a piece of metal embedded in your eye and it's going rusty there's a rust ring so you got someone else in and basically the long and short you need to go to accident and emergency immediately and have it removed otherwise you would have become a brown eyed boy wouldn't you I would have the rusty ring but they got bigger and bigger can I just I'm going to drop a bit of knowledge on you and one that's going to shock your bas to my conspiracy theories Rolls Royce haven't gone the moon they've received funding to build a nuclear reactor for a base on the moon what are your thoughts on that bas with your rusty ring without the planning permission they probably are going to go without the planning permission without the planning permission without the planning permission or do they have is it a little bit like when you have a conservatory or a garden shed where you're allowed to build something to a certain height before you get planning permission on the moon I think it's called accept is it accepted development or something like that same with an extension you can only go out to the moon they've been given 2.9 million to construct the reactor 2.9 million I'm getting you an engine four screws that's getting you on the 3D printer hope to get it built by 2029 NASA spend like 17 billion on rocket barracks I imagine they build it though don't mock Tudor and then at three years they'd have to tear the roof down it's not keeping with the local area look like basins out different windows and stuff yeah exactly you're not allowed on the moon you're not allowed on the moon Julian Clark who sent in some questions says hi guys this has stood out this question to me what is your favourite rule in football wasn't Julian Clark in the mighty bush maybe I haven't finished yet Julian's favourite is the fact that corner kicks are awarded and also he's used to mark 10 yards from distance he thinks that's a great recent addition so I mean what is what is your favourite rule in football I'll tell you it's something that's interesting what Newcastle did with the penalty it made Trippier look like he was going to play it he was going to be the one taking the penalty and then Issac who had been terrible up until this point then just stepped in took the penalty and scored so it's almost like Trippier took all the heat but apparently unless whoever places the ball down is the one who then has to take the penalty so if you don't place the ball down anything's still up for grabs is that a rule? that whoever places it down has to take the penalty that's why I heard it might be if you put it down if you put it down then maybe you've got to take it so that is your favourite rule in football Andy it's quite a grey area though my favourite rule is essentially a grey area but that's fine if that's your favourite rule do you have a favourite rule in football? do you know it's something that I've never ever thought about before now is the honest truth same with the existence of the Yeti or the Sasquatch or whatever it is but I would say that my favourite rule is probably and it's an obvious one but it's probably the offside rule because I think that when they were developing the rules of association football many many many years ago I think to actually come up with that which is quite a complex situation when you think about it you know the offside thing and there's all those jokes about explaining it to your wife and stuff like that you know with the you know I can't explain it to the VAR officials we'll carry on but I think that to actually come up with that which is such an integral part of the game I think was actually quite clever and so therefore if I had to choose a favourite rule it would be that do you think back then when they were inventing the offside rule that in the future there were different phases no never neither with artificial intelligence I'm not sure I think if nothing else this question proves we do zero prep for this podcast though I think that's been evidence since episode two though hasn't it I've put out questions for the 1878 so you might not do any prep we've all been caught my favourite rule the question caught me short really is half time that's not a rule is it it's an agreement it's part of the rules not a rule I'm not having that as a rule I'm assure you you cannot play the full game without having a break I think you'll find it's a rule have you got a favourite rule yes or no my favourite rule I love it when they fall out isn't it Bush isn't it like sort of sitting there as a kid when your mum and dad have had a bit of a barny in the car on a long journey and they're not really talking to each other and they're being really short and snide with each other it's like that using their full first name it's because I don't know what Peter's going to say I said go to that I said go left favourite rule you know what I don't really know I'm trying to think off the top of my head Ned's favourite rule is getting booked for taking the shirt off that's not a good rule obviously I don't know about a favourite rule but you know one rule I would like to change go on so when the ball gets put down for a corner I think the game should be live you said this because it would stop all that arson about in the penalty box when they're all jostling and the ref has to go over and tell them all off one by one when he puts it down no one can go over anyway 10 yards so long as you don't time waste then make the game live and even in 1000 give the penalty I like the way they go over tell them to stop then he walks away, they carry on and they take the corner so it means nothing maybe it's time to get rid of the D what's the point what does the D do show that everybody's 12 yards from the penalty everyone's equal distance from the penalty all the way around I didn't say it was good I just give you the point is that a rule or is that a structure I think that's a rule Dave Conrad Cole says favourite TV show that was cancelled without a proper ending now let me go in this isn't being cancelled but I watched better on the iPlayer which was really good the ending was pathetic and it ruined it for me so there you go last week it's quite good it's on the iPlayer I mean it's a strong title it's a confident title isn't it it's got good people in it but the ending was poor what was your favourite one that was cancelled and you thought did you finish that and you haven't even ended it there's a few actually so recently recently we had West Wales recently it was the fifth season not everyone's favourite show and then they cancelled it because it was too expensive which annoyed me and then there was another show a while ago called Invasion which was about aliens coming down almost like a body snatcher thing and it finished on a massive cliffhanger and they cancelled it and it was like one of the main characters was dying and what happened if you put them in the water and the aliens were in there and the aliens sort of did a body snatcher thing so it went straight up its arse and massaged his head give it a bockum for the air cut and it was like it'll keep the person alive but it'll be like the alien version and it just didn't have a comeback for the second season gentlemen have you got anything to offer here if you don't like it do you know what realistically no I'm just trying to think favourite series that was cancelled I've seen some series that should have been cancelled you actually started off really well and then just turned to completely nonsense yeah but no I'm going to say no okay what about you I'm going to say no as well okay listen any radio shows that got cancelled that you really wish would have carried on well you know I mean I can't think of anything myself Peter could you think there's a radio show that Bush Vitty I don't know I think Vitty's thrown in the towel I do feel like he's thrown in the towel I do feel like they could have been a partnership there for the ARTH9 slot on Radio 2 but you know do you never went for it no I would like to say publicly that I am still available for the right projects as I have been since 2012 and yes I await your correspondence and you can contact me at Toffy TV via Arrington & Pet you've had a job since 2012 in radio though only one it was a big job though it was a big job and we're disappointed that it's changed because obviously we got to see you a little bit more regularly this is very true and there was a lot of good to come from that and I too am sad that it didn't work out I don't think that was your fault Dave it wasn't your fault I mean listen at this moment in time I would like to offer no further comment if only you knew someone who worked at a radio station that has like 4 DJs who have to cover 80-12 shows and the whole schedule the only issue is you'd have to move to south end or whatever it is media village what I want to say is in our group we were treated to Pet's dog with its barber jacket on this will be getting put in the video we'll see it so first thing what's the early take on the dog with the jacket low-key wearing his barber jacket from you two gentlemen we did speak about this the other week you go first because I've just realised that even though I was part of this group I didn't really look at this last night so while you filled I'm going to have a little look at this so that I can look like I was part of this conversation last night and not ignoring it the world has gone dog mad something's happened where dogs are there's something happening to dogs where they're almost level pegging with human beings and then people are giving them outfits I don't know, a pet might have his dog in dungarees next week or something like that only if he's painting the stairs it should be called doggerees shouldn't they don't you think? sounds like an entirely different thing though so yeah I'm not sure about the the outfit unless it's one of those dogs that has got like a body warmth problem they just get wet and when they get wet they take a lot longer they take ages to dry so why not have a coat? they have rights dogs have rights, okay so that was the first point Dave you've had the chance to assess the attire of Loki yeah I have and I think I refer back to my thoughts of three or four weeks ago where I just don't think the dogs need coats to be honest with you I think that they've coped admirably all sorts of different kind of precipitation situations without a coat and now why start? I'm voting for no dog coats fair enough, listen everyone's entitled to it and then what I would like to now directly to is point two which is Loki gone out and got soaked because we've had a lot of precipitations like a soki Loki he's now done his dressing gown so we'll put the barbacoat to one side you've got peds got that what about the actual dressing gown to you again Mr Bush the world's gone mad the world's gone dog mad it makes me worry for peds what's going on in that house it's like a melda marcos top character with chihuahuas chihuahuas chihuahuas let me just state that's a spare dressing gown because his other one is purple and it's got a little hoodie that can go over there I need to go now this is not a protest maybe let's call it a protest Andy let me just leave you with these words moment from soffy tv and everywhere else these so called Evertonians are really really the traitors football fair play that's a good way to leave it Mr Bush take care someone doing an impression of Bill it's all good it might not be a copy anymore Andy can't say take care we are going to finish one finale I mean leave them wanting more I think take care Dave before we go what's your feelings on the shed dressing gown situation of Loki the dog or dogs in general other dogs are available I have the same opinion for all dogs as I do for Loki I've never met Loki I think it's fair to say that yeah I mean like Bush I think it's ridiculous and I think that it's even more daft than the coat scenario to actually put a dressing gown on a dog you know I'm not the biggest doggist as people will know but yeah it's not for me and therefore I'm going to vote no final answer you're going to say that that's it I mean fair play right the final question that we've done I mean it's about 8 but I'm just going to read this final one and I'll keep it for next week Glen Watson says what's your favourite cocktail mocktail or other drink it's just a Dave oh just for me sorry I don't know I mean I would like to say a Long Island iced tea because I don't know much about cocktails to be honest with you but I know that's sort of a fun one that generally involves pretty much everything from behind the bar being put into a large glass and topped up with Coke which seems as good a thing to do with a cocktail as any so I'm going to say a long was that was it Glen it was Glen I'm going to say a Long Island iced tea I think if we can take one thing from this podcast that is maybe we should do a bit of prep listen anyone want to bring anything to podcast and it's all it's a fusion of anything it's real it's real and I think that's important and you know and as you said there's no doubting the fact that this is authentic and it is real and there is no safety net what you hear is what you get and it really is just like that on that that is this is why he is available now is that why is that why I'm available is that why I've been available sorry what I meant to say was this is way too difficult to understand why Dave hasn't been now why I think Dave should have took over from Roger Phillips on Radio Maze absolutely and I think he would have he could have moved to our first city he could have been in the company he could have us a lot more he would have a regular barber that he could trust I do think he does trust Gillian paddle board all the way to the new stadium this is true but you know you're right this maybe is why I've been largely available for nine and a half of the last eleven years I don't know I think you're top man we're going to leave it there Dave brilliant as always have a good afternoon we will catch you see you later today thank you very much for watching listening whatever you're on make sure you subscribe to Toffee TV and we will be back next week with the 1878 FM podcast see you later
