  Hello and welcome to Creedon Hall.
• 0:26
  I'll be a bartender tonight and I've got 2 patrons in tonight.
• 0:30
  They've got the the beautiful Lee from Straw Chat and we've
• 0:34
  also got Phoebes. How well doing?
• 0:37
  Sorry for interrupting you there by the way, I didn't realise
• 0:40
  like the video had finished and I was watching on the YouTube
• 0:42
  thing going oh I really like this song, I'm sorry.
• 0:49
  Cheers. No, you're all right.
• 0:52
  Cheers. Yeah.
• 0:54
  Happy Friday, everyone. Happy Friday.
• 0:57
  Whoa, have you got a WKD blue? I'm.
• 1:01
  I'm drinking DDKM. Wait you got off brand WKD?
• 1:11
  That makes it so much better. What an idiot.
• 1:19
  I went to the shop and I was like, oh, I need something for a
• 1:20
  cocktail that didn't have anything.
• 1:22
  I was just like, that's colourful, I'll do that.
• 1:25
  I the number of times I have disgraced myself with that
• 1:29
  drink, it has a very fun spot in my heart.
• 1:32
  It's like a liquid bad decision, slushie.
• 1:37
  Can you can you get drunk off it?
• 1:39
  I can it no. What?
• 1:41
  Is it like, I think with enough determination you can, yeah.
• 1:44
  Yeah. But you probably have to neck
• 1:46
  him. You might be wondering why we've
• 1:49
  all got alcoholic drinks tonight.
• 1:52
  It is because we had. Decisions.
• 1:55
  Last week I won the what was it coin toss or dice roll?
• 2:00
  Yeah. Dice roll.
• 2:01
  Yeah, so I picked the anime series bartender Glass of God,
• 2:10
  but instead of snacks this week, we thought we'd get drinks.
• 2:16
  We've both pre made some videos, Lee's made one as well, but I've
• 2:21
  already posted that the social, so you'll need to check that out
• 2:23
  on work, Facebook, Instagram, etcetera.
• 2:26
  But. Oh, worth it.
• 2:28
  If you really want to see a man talk to himself, go go check it
• 2:31
  out. Yeah.
• 2:33
  I've never heard someone make those noises before.
• 2:41
  One of the worst things I've ever done.
• 2:42
  It was worse than that egg that I ate like when I first came on
• 2:45
  here. The century egg.
• 2:47
  Oh, the century egg. Yeah, I'm sure you I still think
• 2:50
  like the look on your face when you the real, when your whole
• 2:54
  body decided to react before you'd consciously processed what
• 2:57
  had happened happening. Well, this drink it, this one
• 3:02
  didn't kick in straight away like it got in your mouth and
• 3:05
  then I swallowed it and then it was like.
• 3:07
  You look like you're going to tougher and then you don't.
• 3:11
  Yeah, it took a moment for like all the flavours to process
• 3:14
  because there was that many things to comprehend.
• 3:17
  Yeah. What was the worst part, do you
• 3:19
  think? The the tuna.
• 3:21
  Juice the tuna juice and I was like it stunk of fish and it
• 3:25
  tasted like fish but then like it just it all kicked in with
• 3:28
  all of the other flavours like the tomato and the egg and
• 3:33
  everything else was gross. Yeah.
• 3:37
  And if you're thinking that doesn't sound like it should be
• 3:39
  a cocktail, you're right. Go look at it.
• 3:42
  It's a vodka in and what's got like speculoos Baileys,
• 3:48
  biscuits, bread stuff, biscuit. Which all which I often drink
• 3:52
  and think do you know what this needs?
• 3:53
  Tomato, raw egg and tuna. Yeah.
• 3:59
  It was the colour after. Oh no, you put, you put
• 4:02
  mayonnaise in it as well, didn't you?
• 4:05
  Nope. Mayonnaise.
• 4:08
  Mayonnaise. Yeah, yeah.
• 4:11
  No, it didn't you a little bit of Nandos?
• 4:13
  It was like frothy and pink. It didn't.
• 4:17
  Look right, Lee, And I'm a fan of pink.
• 4:23
  It didn't look right. I wouldn't have put it in my
• 4:24
  mouth. Well, we'll find out.
• 4:28
  It's only called No. Who wants to go first?
• 4:32
  Who wants to go first for the drinks videos?
• 4:35
  Because both made one. We both made one, so I think we
• 4:39
  need to inform Lee what he's about to do so that he's paying
• 4:41
  attention while we play these. Yeah, yeah.
• 4:44
  So our regular listeners will know.
• 4:46
  And also hi to NE Nerd and Molly, who are in the chat, our
• 4:50
  regular listen talking of regular listeners.
• 4:53
  Our regular listeners will know that Chris and I this week this
• 4:56
  year are like competing to see who gets to pick a different
• 5:01
  anime. So this because it's a bartender
• 5:04
  we've done Last week we did some Instagram social warfare where
• 5:09
  we each made a promo video for an anime.
• 5:11
  Yep. And we'll reveal the results at
• 5:13
  the end of that. So keep watching for that.
• 5:15
  But for the week after, we're going to use this moment right
• 5:18
  here to decide. And Lee, you're going to pick
• 5:21
  the cocktail that you would actually drink.
• 5:24
  All right, that's not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
• 5:26
  He's like, oh, we're going to put you on the spot.
• 5:30
  We're going to put you on the spot though, and if you know
• 5:34
  we'll also it will affect our friendship over who you pick.
• 5:37
  So because this is very serious business.
• 5:41
  So I'm just saying. Just remember how you go for
• 5:43
  curries with. Just remember who you tell all
• 5:47
  your secrets to. Oh shit, it's awesome.
• 5:49
  Christmas. But remember who then tells me
• 5:54
  no? I'll be fair and impartial.
• 5:58
  I'll pick one that looks the best and sounds the best.
• 6:00
  I think we can always rely on you to be honest.
• 6:02
  So yeah, let's take it away. I'm happy to go first.
• 6:05
  Chris, if you want to save the, save the the best for last.
• 6:10
  This is also going to be great because I'm not sure if Lee will
• 6:13
  have sound, but let's go. I'll sorry you're going to go
• 6:17
  first. Yeah, I don't mind going first.
• 6:20
  Let's go, OK. Let's go.
• 6:22
  Hi have you had a cluster fuck of a day and need?
• 6:25
  I mean, I can't hear the cocktail so drink a way to
• 6:28
  reset. Everyone, yeah.
• 6:30
  You though. Well, have I got a drink for
• 6:32
  you? Basically, yeah.
• 6:34
  It was going to take what everyone takes in the fridge and
• 6:37
  they're going to shove him in a glass.
• 6:38
  Oh, it's actually is sound playing.
• 6:41
  Lee's just choosing to ignore it.
• 6:42
  So basically, I just took everything that I could, pouring
• 6:45
  it in from the fridge and poured it in, which happened to be some
• 6:48
  Fasaco, some Peach snacks, lemonade, lemonade.
• 6:52
  There we are. And I called it the.
• 6:54
  That'll do because, you know, it's not good.
• 6:58
  Nope, not good. It'll do.
• 6:59
  It'll do. Oh, Molly comes off amazing.
• 7:06
  Say that again. And So what did what did you
• 7:09
  think of that? Good.
• 7:10
  Would you try it? I would try it.
• 7:13
  I mean, look you. Saw what I you saw what I've
• 7:16
  tried today that's that's easily going to be drunk I.
• 7:20
  Have since adjusted the ratios and I found with a bit less
• 7:24
  Prosecco and a bit more Peach snaps and lemonade, it's
• 7:26
  actually very delicious. Peach snaps and the lemonade are
• 7:30
  thumbs up, but I'm not a fan of Prosecco.
• 7:32
  Yeah, it looks it looks advertising and refreshing.
• 7:36
  So. Thank you.
• 7:38
  Oh, well, Molly's just saying she can hear everything at we
• 7:42
  say, so we might have to, I don't know, be quiet or talk.
• 7:44
  I don't know. But.
• 7:46
  OK, we'll be quiet. I don't know if that was a
• 7:49
  subtle hint, Right. I'll put my drink on.
• 7:53
  Just remember the times we've spent drinking together.
• 7:56
  Lee at the Espresso Artino bar. Remember those those nights?
• 8:01
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, here's my drink.
• 8:04
  So right, I've pre iced this. What's amazing here.
• 8:10
  What I'll do is we'll start off with you probably talk already
• 8:16
  and I've got some. Greek the.
• 8:19
  Thing is though, Chris, you said you weren't going to try.
• 8:24
  It's not grenadine, it's a what's that?
• 8:26
  It's like a sugar water stuff. A golf.
• 8:28
  A golf syrup. I think it.
• 8:32
  Does. Did you just say I was in your
• 8:33
  cupboard? Yeah, we went through a cocktail
• 8:36
  phase at Christmas. OK, from Christmas in the
• 8:39
  fridge. I'm just going to say double up.
• 8:47
  Yeah, put a bit extra in and then I've got some coffee that
• 8:51
  is not pretty cool yet, and that is coffee that I had ground
• 8:55
  myself and put through the coffee machines in the
• 8:57
  background there. I did say I wasn't going to make
• 9:01
  an effort, but I also want to win.
• 9:11
  We've got we've broken out the fancy glass too, yeah.
• 9:18
  But look at the garnish. Actually, that actually looks
• 9:27
  like a decent espresso martini. I'm I am impressed.
• 9:32
  Oh, and then thanks for Molly for being my camera woman.
• 9:37
  Oh, and if you want to see those videos without us talking over
• 9:40
  them in an incomprehensible bubble, you can check out
• 9:44
  Instagram. Yeah.
• 9:47
  And we'll upload some after this.
• 9:50
  What, what did you think about the the proper cocktail that I
• 9:52
  made Lee? No, I really like Thebes to be
• 9:57
  fair. What I.
• 10:00
  Wanted to see your reaction. No, it's a it's a no brainer.
• 10:05
  I'm sorry Thebes, but yeah, Chris gets 10 out of 10 for epic
• 10:11
  and presentation and he didn't go hot like I mean it.
• 10:16
  There was already a name to the cocktail, but that'll do.
• 10:19
  Wasn't really putting that much effort in there, Phoebes.
• 10:23
  I can't believe you're declare you were saying that I phoned
• 10:26
  in. So Chris has got it.
• 10:31
  Sorry. Yeah, that seems fair.
• 10:32
  No, that's OK. So we'll talk about what we're
• 10:34
  going to do at the end of at the end of this episode to keep
• 10:38
  watching. Wait a minute, this isn't to
• 10:41
  decide the animes that were on Instagram.
• 10:43
  The other. The other.
• 10:45
  No, no. So those will be separate.
• 10:46
  So we've done that challenge already.
• 10:48
  This will be for the week after so don't worry I'm.
• 10:51
  Sorry, I want you to do Cyberpunk not X Preston so much.
• 10:56
  I would have swapped me choice right there and then.
• 11:02
  No, this is for next week. I've I haven't actually got the
• 11:05
  numbers, but I'm just I'm I think I think I've.
• 11:08
  Lost, I think you're you were not a lonely but I'm going on
• 11:12
  to. I kept getting notifications
• 11:15
  where it's just like your video was hit hits in milestones.
• 11:18
  I'll check in it like it's Phoebes video, not my video.
• 11:23
  All right, I have a. 1000 Views. I know, that's amazing.
• 11:27
  Well done. I'm I'm not even going to I'm
• 11:32
  not even going to check the Facebook because it's got like
• 11:33
  3-3 legs on each or something, but it's fine.
• 11:38
  It's fine. Hi Sammy and Paul and the
• 11:41
  traitors. It's not until half past so.
• 11:46
  So this is just just us backstabbing each other for fun.
• 11:50
  Yeah, yeah. So let's talk.
• 11:56
  Or should we talk Bartender Glass of God?
• 11:58
  This was your pick, Chris. Why?
• 12:00
  Why did you pick it? Because because there's two
• 12:03
  versions of this. There's a version that was
• 12:05
  released in 2006 and then there's a 2024 version which we
• 12:10
  watch, which is Glass of God. When I watched the 2006 version
• 12:14
  I remember being amazing and one of them animes where it's like
• 12:19
  proper palate cleanser from the normal shonen or death and
• 12:24
  destruction that I normally watch.
• 12:26
  I think I would have been probably been watching Berserk
• 12:28
  at the time and I needed like the equivalent of driving home
• 12:32
  with a radio off in silence and this was kind of it.
• 12:37
  So I thought January's been a shit month.
• 12:42
  It's been about 3 months since my last payday.
• 12:45
  I need like a nice, simple, calm, chill animator watch.
• 12:50
  So I just thought I'd pick this, but yeah.
• 12:53
  And this is the first time any of yous have seen this.
• 12:57
  And Lee, it's your first real delve into another genre, isn't
• 13:01
  it? I think I might have seen some
• 13:05
  kind of slice of life before, but don't think what.
• 13:12
  But this? I can't remember.
• 13:15
  This has got its own category. I caught a don't want to
• 13:19
  pronounce it in the Japanese name for a bit.
• 13:21
  It's basically a healing anime, it's called.
• 13:24
  So that's kind of the genre it's regarded as.
• 13:27
  So it's kind of tales where people are better in themselves,
• 13:30
  where you can watch it to kind of heal yourself as well.
• 13:33
  It's one of them feel good things where it's like tails
• 13:37
  just to perk you up a little bit without being too heavy.
• 13:41
  No one dies. Well, maybe I don't.
• 13:44
  Know no one, no one smashed with a glass into someone else's
• 13:46
  face. Yeah.
• 13:49
  Actually I might have watched something like that before.
• 13:51
  Would you class Death Note as that or?
• 13:53
  No, a lot of people die in Death Note.
• 13:57
  Quite, quite a lot. I think that's the premise of
• 13:59
  the whole series. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 14:05
  I think you're thinking of anything else.
• 14:08
  I'm just curious as well, what part of Death Note was uplifting
• 14:12
  and light? Yeah, what?
• 14:15
  Do you think healed you do? You know, do you know what?
• 14:19
  I was only joking, but every time L smiles, it brings warmth
• 14:23
  to my heart. I personally think you would do
• 14:28
  a really good L cosplay. I've done, I've done it before.
• 14:32
  I posted it in the discord one time.
• 14:34
  Oh. Nice, nice.
• 14:36
  Nice, I've posted it in our Instagram as well.
• 14:40
  Which of course I knew. Go check out the Instagram.
• 14:42
  How many times can we put the Instagram in one?
• 14:46
  Give give the Facebook some love.
• 14:47
  What? Yeah.
• 14:51
  So yeah, no, and I think it probably is a lovely palate
• 14:54
  cleanser. It's been a while since I've
• 14:56
  watched something where there where there are like no
• 14:58
  explosions. No, like the steaks feel very
• 15:03
  ordinary and everyday. Yeah.
• 15:05
  And there's also like a kind of craftsmanship to the actual
• 15:09
  cocktail making, which which does make you feel just like
• 15:12
  very like. Well, it's almost meditative.
• 15:17
  I've got something to say about it as well because the the did
• 15:22
  partner with Suntory, the Japanese liquor and spirits
• 15:28
  company, and besides, every drink that is shown on the anime
• 15:34
  is an actual cocktail. If you noticed on the bottles,
• 15:38
  they're all branded bottles as well.
• 15:41
  Yeah, and there's a Disaronno bottle there, wasn't it?
• 15:44
  I mean, that's what I remember. Mainly, yeah, there's also the
• 15:47
  the actual bottles I think are some of the things that are the
• 15:49
  most like attention to detail and liquor bottles are kind of
• 15:54
  beautiful, like labels on liquor bottles.
• 15:56
  And it's, they don't like, blur the details out.
• 16:01
  Like when there's a bottle on the bar, you see, like all of
• 16:04
  the fine intricate illustration and everything.
• 16:06
  It's really lovely. There's a, there's a London gin
• 16:08
  at one point where I was like, oh, if I bought that bottle, I'd
• 16:11
  probably keep it and stick a candle in it or something a bit,
• 16:14
  you know? Yeah, exactly.
• 16:18
  So the I mean there is a lot of product placement in this.
• 16:23
  It is kind of technically 1 long ad for alcohol, but they work
• 16:30
  with them to get all the actual cocktails right and how they
• 16:34
  behave and a little bit of history behind them because you
• 16:36
  do. It does go into the cocktails
• 16:39
  and how they were drunk and how people enjoy them and stuff.
• 16:42
  But yeah, so that that'll be why it's kind of got that
• 16:46
  craftsmanship behind it. But before you actually watch
• 16:51
  the first episode going in, when I said right, there's this anime
• 16:54
  called Bartender Glass of God. What did you think?
• 17:01
  So based just on the the title, I was like, is this going to be
• 17:05
  like people fighting to get a glass of God in a kind of like
• 17:09
  Holy Grail scenario? Because that's more the kind of
• 17:12
  anime that you usually recommend.
• 17:15
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But then when I saw the actual
• 17:21
  post, like cover for it on Crunchyroll, I was like, oh,
• 17:25
  this is different. I'm into like, I don't, yeah,
• 17:27
  let's give it a go because it is.
• 17:30
  A palate cleanse is a good way to describe it, I think.
• 17:33
  Yeah, it's cozy. Yeah, definitely.
• 17:36
  Well, I agree with you. I mean, even when Lee was
• 17:39
  watching it, he was talking to us on the Discord and he was
• 17:41
  just like, yeah, I've been smiling.
• 17:44
  It's it's been making my work day because I've been working
• 17:47
  really hard obviously, and not watching it and it's out of the
• 17:49
  background. I'm sure that's what you said.
• 17:52
  I'd be more productive than ever, Yeah.
• 17:55
  No, I was as productive as I normally AM for me.
• 18:00
  Going in, which is sufficient. I didn't go into it thinking
• 18:04
  like, oh, I wonder what this is going to be like or like I
• 18:07
  wonder how nice it's going to be all will this happen or what's
• 18:10
  going to be this? I just got that message from you
• 18:13
  in the one of the chats saying I didn't recommend this to leave
• 18:16
  because it's like it's nice and doesn't have any explosions.
• 18:19
  So I was just like, I'll fucking show you.
• 18:22
  I'm going to watch it. Enjoy it.
• 18:24
  Chris and I smiled for six hours watching every single episode.
• 18:30
  Was that out of spite though? Our show Chris the 1st.
• 18:36
  Like minute or something. It was just like, I'm going to
• 18:38
  watch this just to prove to you that I can watch something
• 18:40
  without explosion then. And then I just enjoyed the next
• 18:44
  5 hours and 50 minutes or whatever.
• 18:46
  Oh. Brilliant because it is a short
• 18:48
  series. It's like 12 episodes. 11
• 18:50
  episodes. Yeah.
• 18:52
  We may in phoebes have watched the first 3 and you've watched
• 18:57
  all. I watched.
• 18:58
  I watched all of them. Oh did you?
• 19:01
  I've only watched 3. I watched all of them.
• 19:04
  I was like Lee. I was enchanted.
• 19:06
  I thought it was really easy to watch.
• 19:09
  Very relaxing. It's yeah, I watched it all.
• 19:15
  It was, it made me really happy. I finished work just as the last
• 19:19
  episode was finishing. Left the house with a smile on
• 19:22
  me face. Did the school run and then
• 19:24
  years ruined it by making us watch Jessica Flournier?
• 19:28
  I didn't make you. If anything, I was sitting there
• 19:30
  going don't do it, Lee. We did.
• 19:34
  We did Born Again and we actually made a full episode
• 19:38
  warning people that are watching books.
• 19:40
  Yeah, we've done our public service when it comes to escape
• 19:43
  loading. So I I think that's on you.
• 19:45
  I mean, if you want to do the opposite, if whatever we're
• 19:48
  saying, that's fine too. But but you were getting what
• 19:53
  it's actually about, bartender. Yeah.
• 19:56
  Because the glass of God kinda kinda refers to.
• 20:01
  That drink that is very specific to that person.
• 20:06
  So you get a lot. It's episodic with a loose
• 20:09
  storyline running through it and there's reoccurring characters.
• 20:12
  But the main premise, especially the 2006 one was different
• 20:16
  patrons coming to the bar to see this, this infamous famous
• 20:23
  bartender in his bar Eden Hall, which is a very hard to find
• 20:28
  place. You can only find it when you
• 20:31
  need it. Which is kind of a little bit of
• 20:34
  like a little bit of mysticism. There's AI can't remember if
• 20:38
  it's I think it's a Korean show, which is like the the Mystic pop
• 20:43
  up bar, which is a kind of similar concept, but I think
• 20:46
  it's like food instead of drink. And it's like AK drama where it
• 20:51
  pops up when people need like a a good meal and someone to talk
• 20:55
  to. It's very no.
• 21:00
  Is it? Is it?
• 21:00
  Which is got the same vibe as this?
• 21:05
  It's a little bit more like openly magical, whereas this
• 21:08
  feels just like almost. This feels very rooted in
• 21:12
  reality. Yeah, I mean, a lot of the
• 21:16
  people's problems could be solved by just talking.
• 21:19
  Yeah, well, and and in fact are. Yeah, yeah.
• 21:24
  So I need a magical bartender to give us some booze and tell us
• 21:28
  it's going to be all. Right, He doesn't even have to
• 21:31
  be that magical, he just needs to know how to make a really
• 21:33
  good drink. Yeah, yeah, they do look
• 21:37
  amazing. But yeah, that's a loose premise
• 21:40
  and you'll have someone coming in and I think the first episode
• 21:45
  it was a bit different, but you get the had a solicitor, a
• 21:49
  lawyer come in who was sheltering from the rain.
• 21:53
  She had some problems with her own self-image and she was sick
• 21:56
  of work. She had a cocktail.
• 21:58
  She's meant now. I mean, there is a lot more to
• 22:02
  it, but yeah. Yeah, I also like how the
• 22:06
  bartender has like an almost Detective E Sherlock Holmes
• 22:10
  approach to like he's, he'd like he's observing all the details
• 22:14
  about the patrons so that he can kind of decide like figure out
• 22:17
  what drink they need in this moment.
• 22:20
  That, that to me was that we, we talked about it before where
• 22:23
  there's a, there's a Japanese like philosophy or like way of
• 22:28
  thinking where to say, right, I've got this job, so I'm going
• 22:31
  to be the absolute best I can be at it.
• 22:35
  So I mean, there's this bartender that stares at someone
• 22:38
  he can, he knows when someone else is at his level because
• 22:42
  they have a little callus on the finger from shaking the cocktail
• 22:46
  mixer and he can tell what someone's job is by the
• 22:50
  briefcase and these, you know, those kind of very observant
• 22:53
  things. But yeah, it's.
• 22:57
  It's the the philosophy is Kodawari and Kaizen.
• 23:01
  So it's the philosophy of perfection where individuals set
• 23:05
  their own standards of excellence and strive for
• 23:07
  mastery in their craft. So it's deeply, it's also about
• 23:11
  like deeply personal and you do get to see some of the
• 23:14
  bartenders like own personal journey in some of the later
• 23:19
  episodes, which I think is those were some of my favorite bits
• 23:22
  where you're kind of learning about like why he wants to help
• 23:26
  people and make the perfect cocktail.
• 23:28
  It's kind of lovely. Right, but is he?
• 23:32
  Really good at his job. Or does he just see all these
• 23:34
  people coming in who are going, I'm really stressed and I'm
• 23:37
  going to turn to drink and he's just like, oh, it's clearly an
• 23:39
  alcoholic. So I'll just give them whatever
• 23:41
  the whatever comes to mind. They're going to imagine that
• 23:44
  they're up in some peaceful field somewhere fantasizing
• 23:47
  because alcohol is the answer and they're going to be fine.
• 23:53
  Also, like, no one's mean to a bartender when they're serving
• 23:56
  them a drink. Do you like?
• 23:57
  And if you are, you're an asshole.
• 24:00
  I've seen a lot of people being mean to bartenders.
• 24:04
  Oh yeah, maybe when you get too over served, but.
• 24:09
  Have you guys got a thing like an own personal thing like that?
• 24:16
  Oh, that you strive for perfection in.
• 24:18
  Yeah, I mean, it could be anything.
• 24:20
  It could be, I don't know, You could make the perfect fajita.
• 24:27
  I mean he is all good. Lee Lee's gravy is amazing, to
• 24:32
  be fair. Is that?
• 24:34
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 24:35
  He divulged the secret recipe to me and Molly last Christmas and
• 24:42
  I've been living on that high ever since.
• 24:45
  It's not so much of A secret recipe, it's just.
• 24:47
  Don't give it away. Don't.
• 24:48
  It's a simple thing that just, I don't think.
• 24:51
  I think it's more old people did it and now young people don't
• 24:54
  really do it. Is it just you you use the meat
• 24:56
  juices? No, that's sort of secrets.
• 24:59
  And pieces. OK, so I would, this is actually
• 25:04
  like, I'm going to give you a genuine answer rather than a
• 25:06
  joke answer. So I feel that way a little bit
• 25:10
  about singing, which is not something that I do for anyone
• 25:12
  else other than me really. And I will spend a lot of time
• 25:18
  like trying to, if I'm learning how to sing and play a song, I
• 25:22
  will spend a lot of time and it won't be the perfect song, but
• 25:25
  it's like, how can I sing this the best?
• 25:29
  And that genuinely like lifts my heart and makes me feel better
• 25:32
  about the world. So there we go.
• 25:34
  Oh no. I really like that.
• 25:36
  I've kind of got a similar thing where normally it's a weird
• 25:41
  thing that I see someone do on YouTube or in person and I have
• 25:47
  my own personal goal to do something where I think that's
• 25:51
  kind of good. That and then I'll be like, I'm
• 25:54
  good enough if you know what I mean.
• 25:56
  If I, if I slightly impressed myself or surprised myself, I'm
• 25:59
  like, I'm happy with myself. Now what?
• 26:03
  Do you mean like something that you see like?
• 26:06
  Something that you're in like the so something.
• 26:10
  So for example, lighters, I'll pick a recent one fixing them
• 26:18
  because buying them really cheap and I'm just like, well, I know
• 26:22
  how they work. I can fix them.
• 26:23
  And I did it for one that I bought for spares and repairs.
• 26:27
  And I was just like, yeah, I'm getting pretty good at this and
• 26:33
  editing as well for some reason, like I'll make stupid videos and
• 26:38
  I did that vlog I did the other day and or the other week.
• 26:42
  I was like. Oh, of the snow day vlog, I
• 26:44
  really liked that. Yeah.
• 26:47
  And I'm like, if I'm kind of surprise myself in stuff that
• 26:51
  I'm doing, then I've, I've wouldn't, I don't know.
• 26:55
  Nice, I do have. A semi serious answer, I mean
• 26:59
  like I do also I do also see things where like you said where
• 27:04
  you'll see someone on YouTube or see something in person be like
• 27:06
  oh I'm going to do that like learning how to lock pick or
• 27:09
  learn how to do a Rubik's Cube, things like that.
• 27:12
  I think that's probably autism that though.
• 27:14
  But my semi serious answer always have to be the weirdest.
• 27:22
  Like if if people task us with something I have to do the
• 27:26
  stupidest thing possible that everybody else is going to go
• 27:30
  what the fuck are you doing? Like why?
• 27:32
  Have anyone checked on Lee lately?
• 27:35
  Yeah. Yeah, I can buy that.
• 27:41
  That's fine. I can get behind that because it
• 27:44
  often is quite funny. Also, that wasn't me farting.
• 27:46
  I was just moving my chair forward because I had to let
• 27:49
  Eddie out. Yeah, just be really clear.
• 27:54
  So yeah, I'd say Phoebe tries to cover herself, farting down the
• 27:57
  mic. Would you guys ever pop into
• 28:00
  Eden Hall if you had the chance? Yeah, yeah.
• 28:05
  Would you give like a, would you give a problem?
• 28:07
  Would you be like, oh, I'm pissed off with Steve at work or
• 28:10
  I'm doing this? Or would you just be like,
• 28:12
  because me personally, I would go there and people watch
• 28:15
  because I love listen to other people's problems that don't
• 28:17
  affect me. It's one of my favorite.
• 28:19
  Things. And I thought, oh, is she having
• 28:22
  a problem? Problems down at the lawyer's
• 28:24
  office? I'll just get another cocktail
• 28:26
  and. So, like, have you ever seen the
• 28:31
  Mickey Flanagan? I'm going to have a peep, like
• 28:34
  on the neighbors. So Mickey Flanagan, the
• 28:36
  comedian, he talks about peeping on his neighbors through his
• 28:38
  curtains. And that for me is how I always
• 28:41
  think of Chris's approach to other people's problems.
• 28:43
  I'm just going to have a little peek.
• 28:47
  That is why I'm in most of the faith local Facebook groups
• 28:50
  across the UK. Yeah, you know more about the
• 28:54
  local gossip in my area than I do.
• 28:57
  Oh, I do watching for that. John, by the way, But yeah,
• 29:05
  would you stop in? Yeah, I'd pop it.
• 29:08
  I'd be curious about what he'd serve me as well if I was just
• 29:11
  like, do you know what? Make me something that you think
• 29:13
  I'll love. And I would be because I don't
• 29:17
  like coffee. I don't like creamy cocktails.
• 29:19
  Anything with milk in it can does not belong with alcohol.
• 29:22
  It's just not right. So, you know, I'd expect big
• 29:27
  things. What about you, Lee?
• 29:30
  There. Go in for a cocktail.
• 29:33
  But as a typical northern bloke I don't think I would bother
• 29:38
  telling them any problems, mainly because I'm a bloke and I
• 29:41
  don't speak about me problems. And secondly, I'm used to
• 29:45
  drinking in places like Gateshead.
• 29:46
  If I went up to the bar, I'm ordered, drink and then started
• 29:49
  going. I've been having a really tough
• 29:51
  time at work and and there's just like I've got this weight
• 29:54
  on me shoulders that be like, take a drink and fuck off.
• 29:59
  Yeah, true. Moving along, she didn't get
• 30:03
  paid enough to pull pints and listen to you.
• 30:06
  Exactly. Yeah.
• 30:09
  Fast, that's fine, but but what if he was to say, Oh well, and
• 30:14
  they I can see by the worry lines around your eyes that
• 30:18
  something's weighing down in you and I can tell by your phone
• 30:22
  wallpaper that you have you have a child and blahdy blah, and it
• 30:25
  looks like you're having this problem.
• 30:27
  So have AI don't know a rum and coke.
• 30:33
  It's. Fine, yeah, always go for a
• 30:36
  Roman Coke. I wouldn't, I wouldn't bother
• 30:38
  with me problems or I'd probably just make something stupid up
• 30:40
  and be like, do you know what? It's really difficult living
• 30:43
  with a big Dick and just see what he says.
• 30:48
  He would say it sounds like it's really difficult living with the
• 30:52
  the lies you tell yourself. It must be hard to be so
• 30:58
  disillusioned with the world. You you check back at the nerdy
• 31:03
  of North Law and you'll find out apparently it's 14 inches.
• 31:07
  Stop telling me to look up your penis, I will not do it.
• 31:13
  If you ask me one more time, I'm going to HR, which I assume is
• 31:16
  Sammy. Yeah, she's in the chat.
• 31:19
  Probably, Yeah. Yeah.
• 31:23
  Also hijacks of Wolf Studios. Cheers.
• 31:25
  Cheers. Cheers.
• 31:27
  Cheers. Cheers.
• 31:28
  I feel like as a as a pretending bartender, I should read the
• 31:32
  spin. But if I was a bartender, I
• 31:34
  would sit back and listen to everyone's problems and then go
• 31:37
  into the back room and say, Can you believe what Lee just said?
• 31:42
  I I was thinking about this because also this this show
• 31:46
  makes makes being a bartender look like the most kind of
• 31:51
  indulgent and like artisanal experience.
• 31:55
  But it doesn't talk about like when you have to go down and
• 31:58
  change the lines or when you're having to clean up puke at the
• 32:00
  toilets or. Yeah, that, that's.
• 32:03
  When someone smashes a window just because they're pissed off
• 32:06
  that you cut them off. Have you just worked as a
• 32:09
  bartender before? I haven't.
• 32:13
  I did. I was a bartender for quite a
• 32:15
  while in Chester New Street and I got asked to make cocktails
• 32:20
  one time that I can remember. And it was a jug.
• 32:22
  It was a jug of something. I didn't know where the menu
• 32:25
  was. And the last was like, oh, it's
• 32:27
  blue. And it was just like, I'll just
• 32:29
  took everything in that's blue and add lemonade.
• 32:32
  And it was really strong. Probably, I probably put way too
• 32:35
  much stuff in that I should have and, and they were drinking
• 32:39
  like, oh, this is amazing. It's really strong.
• 32:41
  And it's like it's class. And they were just, they were
• 32:44
  just young anyways, so. Yeah, yeah.
• 32:47
  Hopefully they were old enough though.
• 32:50
  I I knew who the worst. I knew they were old enough
• 32:51
  anyway. All right, but actually that
• 32:55
  that leads us on to me next point is what did you think of
• 32:59
  the way this anime portrays drinking culture?
• 33:03
  Because all I could think was who nips into a bar after work
• 33:09
  or next one cocktail. And then it's just like, cheers
• 33:13
  bartender, see you later. It made me think that Japanese.
• 33:19
  Well, first of all, I don't know if this is a fair reflective.
• 33:24
  It's it's a kind of health. Of Japanese drinking culture.
• 33:28
  I think this is a reflection of the ideal drinking culture,
• 33:32
  where you're going literally to enjoy the drink, not to get
• 33:35
  drunk. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 33:37
  There's no salary. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 33:40
  You don't see anyone kind of leaving going, do you?
• 33:42
  I fancy now kebab. Yeah.
• 33:47
  No one's ordering a packet of crisps.
• 33:49
  That's also weird. They do have the have the little
• 33:54
  bowl of nibbles. Yeah, but come on, when was the
• 34:00
  last time you went into it like a pub and got nibbles?
• 34:05
  Was it like the boss where they sit on the ball like pissy nuts
• 34:07
  and stuff? No, that's what it should be.
• 34:13
  So I've, I've heard in Japan when you go to bars or small
• 34:18
  places like that, they give you a like a small plate or a bowl
• 34:25
  of something kind of like nuts. But that's how they justify
• 34:29
  service charge because you don't tip them or anything.
• 34:32
  But it would sort of be like that's $2.00 for this bowl of
• 34:36
  nuts, which you might not eat, you might not want, but it's
• 34:39
  you've got to have it if you sit down kind of thing.
• 34:42
  But that's their kind of tip because obviously them nuts or
• 34:45
  whatever it is comes, it's bought in bulk and they get it
• 34:49
  for like a penny and we'll give you it.
• 34:52
  So I think that's all that is. I don't think there's pissy nuts
• 34:55
  because it's not a communal 1I. Had.
• 35:00
  To close that one, I remember going to a pub in Anik and it
• 35:04
  was a work of men's club and I think it was around Christmas
• 35:08
  and, and the barman put a big bowl of tripe on the on the bar
• 35:14
  and it do you know how it looks like whites, like, I don't know,
• 35:17
  like seaweed or something? And all these old men, they were
• 35:21
  absolutely loving it. It was like, do you know, you
• 35:23
  ever seen zombies eat a corpse in the films?
• 35:28
  Honestly, stuff was flying all over.
• 35:31
  There was like pension books everywhere.
• 35:33
  It was mental. That is crazy.
• 35:37
  When I used to get Kaiser me dog the raw dog food stuff because
• 35:42
  apparently feeding them raw stuff is really good, but it's
• 35:44
  just too expensive. But I was I found this like raw
• 35:47
  pet food shop and one of the rules of stuff was a like tripe
• 35:51
  stuff and it was one of the worst smelling things ever.
• 35:55
  It smelled worse than that drink, and that's the end
• 35:58
  something. Do you taste it?
• 36:02
  No. I reckon if you, if you did that
• 36:07
  now, and we dare to, I think you would.
• 36:10
  Yeah, of course. Nobody, nobody dare us to do it.
• 36:14
  I know, but. I mean, have you, have you tried
• 36:18
  forget your dog's name and have you, have you tried your dog's
• 36:20
  treats? Baby, I some of them I have, and
• 36:24
  here's the thing. I think all we actually, I don't
• 36:26
  even think we'd need to dare Lee.
• 36:27
  All we'd have to say is Hey, Lee, we're going to try dog
• 36:30
  treats and then film it for Instagram and Lea be right.
• 36:33
  I need to get the weirdest and most disgusting dog treat and
• 36:36
  make sure that my dog treat video is the most heinous.
• 36:41
  You wouldn't even see us eating a dog treat, you'd just see us
• 36:43
  with the tin of wet dog food and a fork.
• 36:45
  Just. Weirdly, that's what we're doing
• 36:48
  next week in a. Bath and a kibble, yeah.
• 36:53
  So we're saying no to dog treats as bar snacks.
• 36:57
  Is that is that the tangent we've gone on?
• 36:58
  I think. So it.
• 37:01
  Depends, some of them taste like be jerky so it's yeah not bad.
• 37:07
  I mean there's quite a few times as a kid I've it's like cut
• 37:10
  treats but you can get chocolate ones.
• 37:13
  It's the very similar to normal chocolate puddings.
• 37:15
  They just taste a bit like grainier.
• 37:18
  Yeah, and a bit carroty. Yeah.
• 37:19
  Because it's carab instead of like the poisonous Coco stuff.
• 37:23
  Yeah. Yeah, but I used to, we used to
• 37:26
  have hamsters and you had like little strawberry yoghurt drops.
• 37:31
  I've tried one of them. They were all right.
• 37:34
  Yeah. All right.
• 37:36
  So we're saying this and Lee's thinking, I need to, I need to,
• 37:39
  I would do them. I need to eat food directly from
• 37:48
  Kaiser's mouth. I'm.
• 37:52
  Trying to think if I've done that before or not.
• 37:55
  I might hope, I don't know. The fact that you don't know is
• 37:59
  worrying, yeah, because that's the kind of thing you should
• 38:02
  absolutely know. Anyway, back to the anime.
• 38:08
  Did. Did you have any favorite
• 38:11
  stories account? As obviously used to watch more
• 38:14
  than me so and Lee has already told us about the the smoking
• 38:19
  one. Yeah, I love that.
• 38:23
  What? What is it Ryu or Ryu?
• 38:25
  Like a Carnbury's name now. I think it's Ryu, yeah.
• 38:29
  What a Dick, right? So these two people come into
• 38:33
  the bar, one of them is sitting at the bar already with a lit
• 38:36
  cigar, and another guy comes in who's just like, oh, I've just
• 38:40
  quit smoking and it's really difficult.
• 38:41
  And he sees the woman smoking at the bar and probably goes off
• 38:44
  with, goes off it with her, snaps a cigar in half and then
• 38:49
  leaves. He feels bad.
• 38:51
  So he comes back in like every night waiting for and he's got a
• 38:54
  box of cigars and she comes in and she's like, yeah, I don't
• 38:57
  smoke. And he's like, oh, well, I've
• 38:58
  quit smoking. Neither of them want it.
• 39:01
  Rio. He's like, well, how about I
• 39:03
  leave these cigars behind the bar and you just can come in and
• 39:06
  smoke them together. And he convinces the non-smoker
• 39:09
  to take off smoking and the person who's quit to continue
• 39:13
  smoking. And also, it's not just smoking,
• 39:16
  it's smoking cigars, which are the worst thing for your body.
• 39:21
  That's like smoking like 50 cigarettes in one go.
• 39:28
  Yeah. So would you say that's your
• 39:30
  favorite story? I.
• 39:33
  Mean it's funniest one. What about you thieves?
• 39:41
  I so there are two that I can talk about, an early one that
• 39:44
  you might. I mean at this stage the the
• 39:47
  gates are loose so you may as well just mention anyone that
• 39:49
  you want. Great.
• 39:51
  So towards the end you have there's like a whole thing with
• 39:54
  his mentor where he goes to like help his mentor do like one last
• 39:58
  drink and it's like him, another guy that was mentored by the
• 40:02
  same guy and then this like really old bartender who knows
• 40:05
  everything and it's just like full of deep wisdom.
• 40:09
  And by far that's my favorite bit, especially where they're
• 40:12
  like making the cocktail together and everyone in them.
• 40:15
  It's like all the regular characters have gathered round
• 40:17
  to like witness this like monumental thing.
• 40:21
  And then they also at one point light shots, light shots on the
• 40:27
  bar for all the bartenders who've gone before.
• 40:32
  And they like make it like this is like a thing that all
• 40:35
  bartenders do for each other. And I don't, I know it's not
• 40:40
  true, but I like the I like the ritual of it.
• 40:43
  I like the kind of honouring of it's like a kind of like it's in
• 40:47
  honour to those people who have taught us great lessons in life
• 40:50
  kind of episode because we've all got that teacher at school
• 40:55
  that without that one teacher, we would have like turned out
• 40:58
  like an idiot. Do you know what I mean?
• 40:59
  Like there's no, no, OK, I had. We had it.
• 41:05
  Out Mrs. J who was my drama drama teacher at school she was
• 41:11
  amazing and like and I just like when I was watching that I was
• 41:14
  like to Mrs. J, you know that's. Nice.
• 41:19
  We had a maths teacher called Mr. I call him Mr. R He used to
• 41:24
  wear a pink cardigan all the time wrapped around his
• 41:26
  shoulders. So we always used to call him
• 41:28
  weird things in the early 2000s. And he used to live with his mom
• 41:31
  so that we didn't really have teachers we could look up to.
• 41:34
  But. I can't even Remember Me form
• 41:38
  shooters name. Right, he was before.
• 41:42
  But this guy used to tell me off every single day, even when I
• 41:46
  didn't do anything wrong. So I was turned around facing
• 41:50
  away from him one day, doing me homework for me next lesson.
• 41:53
  And he told us to turn around. And I was like, I'm just doing
• 41:55
  me homework. I'll turn around when I'm done.
• 41:57
  And he was like, turn around now.
• 41:58
  And I was like, no. And he was like, get outside
• 42:00
  now. I'm going to speak to your mom
• 42:02
  after school because he he fancied me mum and he would just
• 42:06
  make any excuse to tell us off to speak to me mum after school.
• 42:08
  You'd show up and be like, oh, hello there Mrs. Davis.
• 42:11
  But he was like this big lanky 7 foot guy with massive ears that
• 42:15
  were out here somewhere. Did you have really dark hair
• 42:18
  and pale skin and. We had like early blonde messy
• 42:22
  hair, but this time when he sent it outside for doing me homework
• 42:27
  while I was outside, he was screaming at us in the cover
• 42:30
  door. They slammed through his ruler,
• 42:31
  rubber and ruler into the air, smashed one of the lights and I
• 42:35
  swear down you open the door when Chris stop it and then
• 42:38
  close the door and then the glass all over the bag, over the
• 42:41
  tables and he's shouting at me. But did you just refer to
• 42:44
  yourself as Chris? No, no, it was one of me, one of
• 42:49
  my mates, Chris, like I had another friend at school who
• 42:53
  spelled his name properly. Kris.
• 43:03
  Oh, OK, so it was like, as in he was much more lenient on your
• 43:07
  mate Chris than he was on you? Didn't smash the light but I was
• 43:10
  doing my homework but he wanted to see me mom and flirt with her
• 43:15
  but bartender anyway so. Enough about your stepdad.
• 43:21
  I would have to not. My mom looks exactly like me but
• 43:24
  without a beard and red hair. So if you think my mom.
• 43:28
  'S a silly card. See me as well, but right back
• 43:34
  to bartender. So out of the three episodes
• 43:37
  that you've seen, Chris was the old guy coming in who kept
• 43:42
  complaining about all of the drinks and going this drink.
• 43:45
  It's horrible. I don't want it.
• 43:47
  Yeah. That I love that.
• 43:49
  That was one of my favorite. Stories.
• 43:51
  Yeah, because. It just wasn't going to.
• 43:53
  Be my early my early on story. Yeah, I love that one too.
• 43:57
  The cocktail was called Old Pal, wasn't it?
• 44:01
  Old fashioned. No, no, it was it was Old
• 44:03
  Powell. It wasn't old fashioned.
• 44:05
  It wasn't like a whiskey, whatever.
• 44:07
  Yeah, it was it was a cocktail that had three different.
• 44:10
  But a lot of the people that I've seen reviewing this have
• 44:14
  actually made the cocktails from the series and a lot, a lot of
• 44:18
  them have said that that was their favorite.
• 44:21
  Oh. Interesting.
• 44:24
  Yeah, my, my mind's wandering a bit now because I'm sorry.
• 44:27
  I mean, our minds have wandered all episode.
• 44:29
  We've just talked about things other than bartender all.
• 44:31
  Like your your mind's only just wondering.
• 44:35
  It's all right. I can't think of an old
• 44:38
  fashioned without thinking of South Park.
• 44:41
  Yeah, me too. I.
• 44:42
  Don't know if you've seen. Yeah, it's like, oh, I love a
• 44:45
  good old fashioned like, well. Speaking of old fashioned
• 44:51
  picture the scene me and you Lee have been a secret boys club and
• 44:55
  we've just had a lot of meat at a steak restaurant and we've
• 45:02
  seen Phoebe outside. She's porn at the window because
• 45:04
  we wouldn't invite her in. We've met after and we said, oh,
• 45:08
  let's. Head to the boys club.
• 45:10
  Let's head to the pub after what?
• 45:13
  What steak, anyway? What drink would you order?
• 45:17
  Then you can go first. Hopefully it's the same answer
• 45:20
  that you gave us before. What have we?
• 45:22
  Just what have we just ate? Steak.
• 45:25
  Lots of steak. Probably just go for a pint or
• 45:29
  something. Shut up.
• 45:31
  What cocktail? What he said that because you
• 45:34
  were like, hopefully it's the same answer as before.
• 45:36
  No, I think after steak a nice cocktail I have would be a
• 45:40
  Margarita because it's salty, it's got a bit of bitterness and
• 45:45
  like Tang to it, and it's also quite refreshing and I think it
• 45:49
  would complement the steak very nicely.
• 45:52
  Would it help you deal with the fact that you've got a your old
• 45:55
  teacher as your stepdad now as well?
• 45:58
  That old teacher can fuck off. Luckily, there you go, Lee.
• 46:02
  Oh, forget. It.
• 46:05
  Get that down here? What about you, Phoebe?
• 46:11
  I'm a fan of a Peach, a Peach cocktail and obviously what's
• 46:20
  good. I actually gave you two options
• 46:23
  and I'm now trying panicking, wondering which one did you
• 46:25
  choose? So I think I said if you
• 46:27
  wouldn't let me into Secret Boys Club, I would choose an Amaretto
• 46:30
  sour if you. Well, I'll give you that.
• 46:33
  I'll stop. I'll stop you there and I'll
• 46:34
  give you the one of them. Look elite.
• 46:37
  There's an amaretto, so. Yeah.
• 46:41
  So much secret boys club being the secret minds.
• 46:46
  Secret Boys Club is the most ridiculously not a secret secret
• 46:50
  in the world. Like even Eddie's kicking off
• 46:53
  about it. And not only that, but Chris has
• 46:55
  an actual song for it which is just Secret Boys Club.
• 47:00
  I thought you meant it like actually went out and like
• 47:01
  composed a song. Well, I'm in the pool tonight.
• 47:06
  And we're going to Secret Boys club.
• 47:08
  Secret boys. Club.
• 47:12
  I am in the process of getting the rights to to that those
• 47:16
  lyrics or keep an eye on my Instagram.
• 47:20
  Time to copyright that straight away before someone steals it.
• 47:27
  Not secret boys club. Good idea.
• 47:29
  Secret Boys Club doesn't sound like something where people go
• 47:32
  for curries and stuff though. It's literally sounds like we're
• 47:36
  going to go and like circle jerk each other or something.
• 47:39
  Yeah, yeah. And maybe we should call it
• 47:42
  Secret Men's Club as well, because it doesn't just sound
• 47:44
  like. Yeah, well, that sounds a bit
• 47:47
  better. Go to some kind of island.
• 47:49
  Anyway, so talk about the series and the episode that you've
• 47:52
  liked. Is there anywhere, anything that
• 47:55
  was not covered about drinking culture that you would want
• 48:00
  covered in an episode? Because we've mentioned salary
• 48:03
  men being sick at the toilet and the general cramp pot of being a
• 48:08
  bartender, but is there anything that you would want to see or as
• 48:11
  someone who has a certain problem?
• 48:15
  Are you trying to get us to confess it with Alcoholics?
• 48:19
  Maybe. Maybe so.
• 48:22
  I genuinely think there is something about you're on a
• 48:27
  night out, right? Everyone's like sipping away at
• 48:30
  their drink, having a nice time, and then one mentalist comes
• 48:35
  back from the the with a tray and goes shots.
• 48:41
  And you know just then that your night has derailed and that
• 48:44
  beautiful moment where everyone's like, oh, I
• 48:47
  shouldn't, but I'm gonna, yeah, pretend I'm 20 and I can still
• 48:53
  do this. I love that.
• 48:56
  Shots, shots, shots. And also booze bullying.
• 49:01
  I feel like booze bullying wasn't covered in this anime,
• 49:04
  but it's a serious problem that we need to talk about.
• 49:06
  And that is the friend who will not, who won't not let you
• 49:10
  drink, but who will bully you into getting not only drunk, but
• 49:14
  slaughtered. I do think that's a problem, but
• 49:20
  I don't think that's a problem between like, say, when me and
• 49:22
  Lee went out. Like, do you want another drink?
• 49:24
  No, thanks. OK.
• 49:27
  Yeah. That's and that's perfectly
• 49:30
  respectable, but those Billy still exists.
• 49:33
  I'm like I'm I'm not strong enough to carry you or clean up
• 49:36
  you're sick or pay for a dodgy and clean up free in a taxi.
• 49:40
  So I'm OK with the not get by. You know the drink.
• 49:44
  You know, I think I might have grown past that, but back in the
• 49:46
  day I was like a proper drinks bully.
• 49:48
  Like I remember working for, I'll not name them, but me
• 49:51
  driving a certain company and being out on like nights out
• 49:54
  with them and being like, wow, you got bombs, you got bombs.
• 49:56
  I'm like, I've got a driving test tomorrow and it's like,
• 49:58
  it's fine. Not just drinking.
• 50:04
  It'd be fine. You'll be fine.
• 50:06
  What about you? But that's what you mean about
• 50:08
  shots. Shots get derailed.
• 50:10
  Shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots.
• 50:13
  That's when your nights got off the rails.
• 50:16
  I will be having shots at silicon.
• 50:19
  Oh yeah. Yeah, dressed as a pig.
• 50:30
  What about you, Lee? Is there anything not covered
• 50:33
  that you would like to see or anything at all?
• 50:37
  Well, I mean, this is a typical question again, because I'm not
• 50:41
  used to Japanese drinking culture.
• 50:43
  I'm just used to Northeast drinking culture.
• 50:47
  So the kind of things that I see aren't going to be the things
• 50:49
  that I see on shows like this, like.
• 50:52
  There's not going to wear us in the country.
• 50:54
  There's not going to be some floozy standing at the end of
• 50:56
  the bar in like the a skirt so small that it should be classed
• 51:00
  as a belt and don't. Fall over ourselves he chooses.
• 51:05
  But what he chooses to wear on a night out, he's allowed to
• 51:07
  insulate body. He can choose.
• 51:10
  There's no last has fallen over because of that drunk and you
• 51:12
  see in some badly packed kebab before you even get called boss
• 51:16
  man. And there's no like losers
• 51:20
  sitting at like the table behind you in like Wetherspoons or
• 51:23
  wherever going. Oh, my friends just had a bad
• 51:27
  breakup. Send drinks to table 39 please.
• 51:30
  He can put it on Facebook because that's a thing now.
• 51:34
  Yeah, yeah. Wow.
• 51:37
  I mean, I mean in in pubs like in Japan it is normally AI mean.
• 51:44
  I've never been. So I've I've heard on the street
• 51:47
  where it is a very intimate setting where you have tiny
• 51:50
  bars, but you have a lot of them.
• 51:52
  So you'd poke your head around the door and they'd be like 4
• 51:55
  seats and they'll be like 2 salary men getting mortal in a
• 52:00
  couple in the corner. Would you prefer that over the
• 52:04
  Wetherspoons begging? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I, I, but also
• 52:14
  I like her. Like if I'm going to like a pub,
• 52:16
  like the smaller and pokier and more like, full of weird stuff
• 52:20
  on the walls and, you know, like bottles that no one's touched
• 52:24
  for a generation behind the bar. Like, I want that.
• 52:28
  That's my idea of a perfect pub. Maybe there's some old guy who
• 52:31
  ever like once a month on a Friday, breaks out a guitar and
• 52:35
  we all pass the hat around like that's the pub.
• 52:39
  Yeah, the pulp of my dreams. I think I'm allowed.
• 52:43
  I don't think I'm allowed in a Wetherspoons.
• 52:46
  When you when you try and go in, don't ask for your National
• 52:49
  Insurance number to make sure you've paid no tax that year and
• 52:52
  then they'll let you in. Yeah, that is a key part of it.
• 52:58
  You have to really hate the welfare state to drink in a
• 53:01
  Wetherspoon. It's ironic, but actually
• 53:05
  phoebes are reminders after this.
• 53:07
  I've got the the perfect pub for you around here as well.
• 53:10
  Oh, nice. OK.
• 53:12
  Yeah, sweet. I'm for a minute I thought you
• 53:15
  were like, remind me after this not to pay my taxes.
• 53:17
  It's going. To be like a week.
• 53:25
  Away. Let's not talk about that while
• 53:26
  we're live. That's how Jimmy Carr got
• 53:30
  caught. Yeah.
• 53:32
  What would you recommend bot in the glass of God to a friend
• 53:38
  that might not necessarily have seen an anime before?
• 53:41
  Yeah. Yeah, hands down, I so and I
• 53:44
  would recommend it between series if you're just coming off
• 53:46
  the back of a really intense series and you just need
• 53:50
  something before you get really into something else that will
• 53:53
  just like lift you. And you don't have to watch all
• 53:57
  of it. You don't even have to watch
• 53:58
  every episode. It's very episodic.
• 54:00
  You can easily follow and dip into it.
• 54:03
  I'd recommend it, yeah. I mean, I only watched three.
• 54:06
  What about you Lee? Would you recommend this to
• 54:09
  someone? I've recommended it already this
• 54:11
  week. On the way 22 like what context
• 54:17
  was? One of me friends, one of me
• 54:21
  friends messages isn't like asked us about what anime is I'm
• 54:23
  watching and stuff because he watches a lot of like action
• 54:27
  explosion kind of things. So I was like, oh, but you
• 54:32
  should try this. It's it's not the normal thing
• 54:34
  that we would watch, but have a look at it.
• 54:36
  It's really nice. Yeah, I I genuinely do like it.
• 54:41
  I hope I have time to eventually finish it someday someday.
• 54:50
  But do you guys have anything else to add?
• 54:54
  What likes dislike about bartender?
• 54:56
  Because I think it's me for questions.
• 54:59
  I've got a question for you. For me.
• 55:02
  Oh, OK. How would you compare this to
• 55:05
  the 2006 version? Oh, good question.
• 55:09
  So I think the main differences are the 2006 version was more
• 55:17
  focused on the patrons as opposed to the loosely loose
• 55:21
  storyline that I've seen in the first 3 episodes of the
• 55:24
  Bartender. And, and I don't know, I do like
• 55:29
  a bit of continuity and a bit of bit of serialisation, but I also
• 55:33
  like a like a problem of the week kind of episode.
• 55:36
  So I think it's two different things and you cannot compare
• 55:40
  them. Both relax and both give us the
• 55:42
  same kind of fuzzy feel, fuzzy nostalgia feeling.
• 55:49
  It's a hard one. I'm going to say because the new
• 55:53
  one's fresh in me memory, I like the new one better, but I think
• 55:58
  you'd have to give them both a chance to see it this slower
• 56:01
  paced. But yeah.
• 56:05
  My question is how many likes do you think you got on Instagram
• 56:13
  because we're now going to do what's on next week.
• 56:18
  So I think I've got about 10 less than you or maybe 15 less
• 56:24
  than you. OK, I'm.
• 56:28
  Going to guess 51 for Chris. I haven't looked, that's just.
• 56:32
  Nice. So on Instagram, Chris, you have
• 56:36
  a very respectable 49 likes. I'm I'm chuffed, alert.
• 56:41
  So for that's for the anime X, what looks to be a gothic, A
• 56:47
  gothic vintage fantasy. I got 58.
• 56:53
  Oh, so cyberhunk, do you know what it is with the beginning of
• 56:57
  competition? And I would have gloated and
• 57:00
  rubbed it in your face. If I won't, I'll accept my loss
• 57:04
  like a true gentleman because I really want to see a face.
• 57:11
  Interesting. I look forward to your rant in
• 57:15
  the DMS later. Hauling me.
• 57:21
  I've played I've played the Cyberpunk game.
• 57:23
  I wasn't that big of a fan of it, but I did play it when it
• 57:26
  was still bugged. So I've been recently Ben and I
• 57:31
  have been playing through it together and I've been enjoying
• 57:37
  it very much. It is still very buggy but it
• 57:40
  has like a level of detail and like artistry in the in the
• 57:46
  world building that makes me very excited to see the anime.
• 57:52
  I am got auto saved in a room where I just killed all of these
• 57:56
  people that had run in after us but someone's gun was left
• 57:59
  floating in the air shooting and I could not get back out of this
• 58:03
  room. So that rage quit and that was
• 58:06
  the last time I played it. But the enemy?
• 58:08
  That feels like character floor loose.
• 58:11
  So the anime does look good. So we're going to do edge
• 58:12
  runners. Edge runners.
• 58:15
  Address so Jacksonville studio saying both animes look good.
• 58:19
  So my anime was picked purely on aesthetic because after looking
• 58:25
  up reviews because I haven't watched it yet, but all the
• 58:29
  reviews say it's 30 minutes of story and the film's 90 minutes
• 58:33
  long and the visuals are absolutely stunning but the
• 58:39
  storyline is a bit lacking which is fair and that's fine.
• 58:45
  That's fine, that's very odd of the three of the 90s anime.
• 58:50
  The animation in X was amazing. Like I really like the style,
• 58:55
  but it was just the dialogue. It's just, it was like somebody
• 58:59
  wrote it and they were just like, I'm going to try and put
• 59:00
  in every cool word I can think of and they're like the star of
• 59:04
  foreshadowing is in the Sky Dragon Knight.
• 59:07
  It's like, but it hasn't explained any of what these
• 59:10
  things are. It's just telling you like cool
• 59:12
  words and trying to make you think that it's cool.
• 59:16
  Cyberpunk. It does have a good storyline.
• 59:19
  It's it just immediately gets you hooked.
• 59:22
  But the animation like it made us think of like Ben 10 or
• 59:25
  something like that. Like it's.
• 59:27
  I'm into that. I don't mind that.
• 59:29
  A little bit of oh, like old school Samurai Jack vibes.
• 59:32
  Yeah, I'm here for it. Here for it.
• 59:35
  Yeah, yeah. We're watching Cyberpunk next
• 59:40
  week, but what are we? What's our theme for the week
• 59:43
  after? Yes.
• 59:45
  So we've we've decided because obviously we're going to go head
• 59:49
  to head every every week with these with these games or
• 59:52
  challenges that we're doing either through I think once a
• 59:55
  month we're going to do something on the social medias,
• 59:57
  but otherwise Orangey or someone judging.
• 1:00:02
  But but you won, sorry. So you get to pick.
• 1:00:08
  Are you winning? Are you picking the theme or are
• 1:00:09
  you? Do you pick the anime now
• 1:00:11
  because you won the cocktail challenge?
• 1:00:13
  No, no, I'm going to say because I lost that as a consolation
• 1:00:17
  prize, I won the air to pick the the theme of the next one.
• 1:00:23
  So basically the the next anime, which would be in two weeks.
• 1:00:27
  I want to pick a creature anime. Oh, OK.
• 1:00:32
  We've got to both got to put forward an anime that has
• 1:00:36
  heavily features a creature or creatures, and we're going to
• 1:00:41
  have to play for who wins that one.
• 1:00:45
  I know exactly what I'm going to pick already.
• 1:00:48
  So do I, so do I. Do you know?
• 1:00:50
  Do you know what can you say or do you want to say?
• 1:00:54
  Yeah, I'm happy to say it. OK, I'm picking the original
• 1:00:56
  Pokémon movie. I mean, that's not Creatures.
• 1:01:02
  The original one with MU and MU 2.
• 1:01:03
  That's the one I'm picking. All right, so when we when we
• 1:01:07
  started this, we wanted to watch new anime that we'd not seen
• 1:01:09
  before, so my. Daycare.
• 1:01:15
  But this theme, which I sneakily had to Google there, is called M
• 1:01:20
  the Faraway Paladin. So it is basically as a young
• 1:01:24
  child, a baby is abandoned in a dungeon.
• 1:01:31
  So this child grows up in a dungeon raised by the, the
• 1:01:35
  enemies we saw it there be the, the skeletons, the do you know
• 1:01:41
  all the like AD and D dungeon where you get like beholders and
• 1:01:44
  stuff like that and orcs and trolls and stuff.
• 1:01:47
  This small human child is raised by them and he has to defend the
• 1:01:52
  dungeon from the from the the good guys and the heroes that
• 1:01:58
  come to plunder this dungeon. So it's a bit of a role role
• 1:02:02
  reversal. I just thought it was
• 1:02:03
  interesting. But how am I going to compete
• 1:02:06
  against Pokémon? I'm just glad that it's an RNG
• 1:02:09
  game and not a game of popularity, because obviously
• 1:02:12
  Pokémon's going to smash it every time.
• 1:02:14
  It's coming up to its third year anniversary of the games.
• 1:02:19
  Yeah, which is? I'm just keeping an eye on the
• 1:02:23
  chat because I imagine somewhere Jake is just be like I feel the
• 1:02:26
  disturbance in the force and expect them to just pop into the
• 1:02:30
  chat. But yeah, anyway, and.
• 1:02:37
  Yeah, I mean, it's hard to compete with it because I mean,
• 1:02:40
  you want to be the best, the very best, but no one ever was.
• 1:02:46
  Is the real test to train them? Is your cause?
• 1:02:50
  Whatever? Shall we travel across the land?
• 1:02:54
  You're gonna have to shut me down.
• 1:02:55
  I will keep going. Yeah, on that note, I'm going to
• 1:02:59
