1:18
Speaker 3: to remember. I feel like it's been probably at least
1:22
Speaker 3: six seven.
1:23
Speaker 2: Months something like that. Possibly episode nine hundred and nineteen.
1:27
Speaker 3: Was the last one.
1:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then there was the Medieval Museum, but that
1:32
Speaker 2: was recorded earlier. Yeah, of course that did come out. Okay,
1:36
Speaker 2: so good, that's the situation. Then that good. We've dealt
1:38
Speaker 2: we've dealt with that. There are various things here that
1:41
Speaker 2: I was thinking of asking you, but since we got
1:44
Speaker 2: together and had a pizza for an hour, we've pretty
1:46
Speaker 2: much covered those things already. But I mean, not for
1:49
Speaker 2: the audience, but you know, we all had holidays and
1:52
Speaker 2: stuff like that. I was going to ask you actually
1:53
Speaker 2: about the best and worst things about family holidays in
1:59
Speaker 2: your experience. What do you think think are the best
2:00
Speaker 2: and worst things? I mean, there's the best things. She's
2:02
Speaker 2: the nice, The.
2:03
Speaker 3: Worst thing is the woman.
2:05
Speaker 4: The worst thing is family.
2:06
Speaker 2: YEA A simple answer. Having to spend being forced to
2:10
Speaker 2: spend time with the family, yes, yeah, I wrote down
2:13
Speaker 2: a few things. One of them is in the car.
2:16
Speaker 2: So do you do you? You know your family holidays
2:18
Speaker 2: always involved going in the car somewhere.
2:20
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
2:21
Speaker 2: How are your kids with being in the car? Like,
2:23
Speaker 2: do they get car sick? Car?
2:24
Speaker 4: It's a big thing.
2:26
Speaker 3: No, She's been sick once in the car, but that
2:30
Speaker 3: was because we were driving down a mountain right and
2:33
Speaker 3: it's windy and you can't see the horizon.
2:35
Speaker 2: Where I went on holiday this year to Norway where
2:38
Speaker 2: they do have quite a lot of mountains and winding roads.
2:41
Speaker 2: So how did that go? Well, we had one one,
2:45
Speaker 2: just one incident that's right at the beginning of a
2:48
Speaker 2: journey where the older or the younger younger my.
2:50
Speaker 4: Son was able to catch that sick in your.
2:53
Speaker 2: Well, it was my daughter's job to kind of do
2:56
Speaker 2: that and she failed completely. Yeah, and as the driver,
2:59
Speaker 2: I obviously can't behind so I can just hear the
3:02
Speaker 2: sounds and yeah, it was. It was horrendous and we
3:05
Speaker 2: had to stop by the side of the road and
3:07
Speaker 2: was a rental car and I met the guard the
3:09
Speaker 2: guy I rented it from. It was one of those
3:11
Speaker 2: it wasn't like a europe car, So it's through get
3:15
Speaker 2: around and I met the person. He was really nice
3:18
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, so you want me to
3:19
Speaker 2: clean the car and stuff before I give it back.
3:21
Speaker 2: And he's like, yeah, I don't worry about the outside.
3:23
Speaker 2: It's the it's the interior that I'm most worried about.
3:25
Speaker 2: And he made a point of, like, you know, letting
3:27
Speaker 2: us borrow his two year old child seat and stuff
3:30
Speaker 2: like that.
3:31
Speaker 4: There's nothing like cleaning a stick out of a car seat.
3:34
Speaker 4: It gets everywhere you got. Basically it was the straps
3:37
Speaker 4: and into the bucket.
3:38
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. I managed to take the cover
3:41
Speaker 2: off this car seat and we washed it in a
3:43
Speaker 2: mountain stream covered in soap, and it was cleaner than
3:48
Speaker 2: it was before. I swear it was like spotless.
3:50
Speaker 4: Stream has been closed down and the authorities of Coloring.
3:55
Speaker 2: Health and Safety came out to that mount that lake
3:57
Speaker 2: and shut it down as a biohazard.
4:00
Speaker 4: Do you both drive because you both drive, but you it's.
4:04
Speaker 2: Just my wife doesn't drive.
4:05
Speaker 4: Because what's interesting about like family living in Paris, we
4:08
Speaker 4: don't have a car. I know that you guys have
4:10
Speaker 4: a car, but we don't use it much, you know
4:11
Speaker 4: what I mean. So it's only like car is only
4:14
Speaker 4: a thing on holiday, And because I don't drive, like
4:17
Speaker 4: everyone's kind of got their roles. It's very sort of
4:20
Speaker 4: clear where we all need to be and what our
4:22
Speaker 4: different jobs are. And so maybe it's like that for
4:25
Speaker 4: you too, is you because you are the driver?
4:27
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Yes, yeah, yeah. Now my wife does that sort
4:30
Speaker 2: of tom cruise thing sometimes where she actually has to
4:33
Speaker 2: undo her belt. Yeah, crawl into the back seat. We're going,
4:36
Speaker 2: you know, ninety kilometers down down a road. Yeah, something
4:40
Speaker 2: incredibly dangerous and illegal as well, No doubt.
4:44
Speaker 3: It's a good a good joke BI comedian about family holidays.
4:49
Speaker 2: Michael McIntyre.
4:50
Speaker 3: It's not. It's it's Louis c. K Oh. I know
4:53
Speaker 3: the joke where he's like, you know, going on a
4:56
Speaker 3: family holiday. He's like, you know, it's this, it's this
4:59
Speaker 3: whole house. Getting my kids in the car seats, ramming
5:02
Speaker 3: them in, getting them all in, it's a pace, strapping
5:04
Speaker 3: them in, making sure they've got their toys whatever, getting
5:07
Speaker 3: my wife in that side, and then I have to
5:09
Speaker 3: go all the way round to the to the driver's side.
5:11
Speaker 3: And that is my holiday, just driving. Yeah, there's no
5:17
Speaker 3: wife and no kids shouting at you.
5:20
Speaker 2: That's holiday.
5:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, my daughter gets really sick. But a nice son
5:25
Speaker 4: used to but now it's okay. But I can't drive,
5:27
Speaker 4: so I do. I tend to do the reading like
5:30
Speaker 4: we tend to like read a book or like you know,
5:33
Speaker 4: do a quiz or stuff like that. You know, I'm entertainment.
5:37
Speaker 3: I spy with my little life. I know.
5:40
Speaker 2: Oh God, something I spy? Is that? Is that what
5:42
Speaker 2: you do?
5:42
Speaker 1: Yeah?
5:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've we've done that game a couple of times.
5:47
Speaker 4: Twenty questions is not bad?
5:48
Speaker 3: What's twenty questions?
5:50
Speaker 2: Oh?
5:50
Speaker 4: You know you're you're animal, vegetable, mineral, you know, you're
5:53
Speaker 4: an object or something. They've got twenty questions to work out.
5:55
Speaker 4: Where kids you can have like a thousand questions?
5:57
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah. What about music? Do you do? You have
6:02
Speaker 2: music in the car? Who chooses the music? What kind
6:05
Speaker 2: of music do you listen to? If it is indeed music,
6:07
Speaker 2: maybe it's something else, an audiobook or a podcastinglish podcast.
6:13
Speaker 4: We listen to podcasts. Greeking Out a current favorite.
6:17
Speaker 2: Greeking Out. Greeking Out is that Greek history.
6:19
Speaker 4: It is Greek mythology, it's by National Geographic it's really good.
6:24
Speaker 4: And then the kids really love this strange, dark podcast
6:27
Speaker 4: called Magic Woods. It's really mysterious, really, but they love it.
6:34
Speaker 4: It's quite good because some children's podcasts are really annoying,
6:37
Speaker 4: but those are both good.
6:39
Speaker 2: You're not You're not a music family, You're a You're
6:41
Speaker 2: an audiobook podcast family.
6:42
Speaker 4: Nico will listen to podcasts music sometimes, and since he's
6:46
Speaker 4: a driver, he kind of gets to choose. And sometimes
6:48
Speaker 4: you'll listen to really boring French stuff and then we
6:52
Speaker 4: all put on our headphones and drowning out. But like,
6:54
Speaker 4: sometimes music happens.
6:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, sometimes.
6:57
Speaker 3: Hours is more music than we don't. Yeah, we've never
7:01
Speaker 3: really listened to We're not podcast people, so yeah, music,
7:05
Speaker 3: and it would depend like there'll be times where we
7:07
Speaker 3: can just listen to whatever. But Luise is heavily into
7:13
Speaker 3: her three sort of favorite things where we put like
7:17
Speaker 3: a compilation of their best songs is like Coldplay adele
7:22
Speaker 3: Ed Sheer and she likes and like Vienny is a
7:25
Speaker 3: French Ed Sheering basically. But since we went to go
7:29
Speaker 3: see Oasis in London over the summer, she is now
7:34
Speaker 3: enjoying the Oasis playlist and she said to me the
7:36
Speaker 3: other day, She's like, oh, can you put on the
7:38
Speaker 3: song that that's called shang. And I didn't know what
7:42
Speaker 3: she meant by that, And it turns out it's the
7:44
Speaker 3: way Liam Gallagher says sunshine. And he says sunshine.
7:47
Speaker 2: Shang spend the days in the sun.
7:49
Speaker 3: She or anything with an io n situe.
7:54
Speaker 2: It's a crazy situation.
7:59
Speaker 3: So she asks for sang.
8:00
Speaker 4: That's not bad is asking for the Matilda soundtrack, which
8:04
Speaker 4: is film?
8:05
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, just because it was on Netflix recently. So
8:10
Speaker 3: we watched Matilda and so she likes, Oh, we listened
8:13
Speaker 3: to like the Moana slash Biana soundtrack or Frozen.
8:18
Speaker 2: Frozen Let It Go and all build a Snowman and
8:21
Speaker 2: all that stuff. But the Matilda soundtrack is the is
8:24
Speaker 2: the one from the musical? No, the Tim Minchin songs,
8:28
Speaker 2: isn't it it's written by Tim Minchin. Yeah maybe yeah.
8:32
Speaker 2: What about going to the beach? You went to the beach.
8:35
Speaker 2: You didn't go to the beach.
8:37
Speaker 3: I hate the beach.
8:38
Speaker 2: So how do you feel about going to the beach, Paul,
8:40
Speaker 2: You don't you hate.
8:41
Speaker 3: Going to the fu There's like it's the worst holiday
8:43
Speaker 3: for me. Why I hate it? I don't know. It's one.
8:47
Speaker 3: I think it's obviously my skin is and my body
8:50
Speaker 3: is not made.
8:51
Speaker 2: For heat bit ginger.
8:52
Speaker 3: You're on the ginger like pasty white. So I have
8:55
Speaker 3: to be careful in the sun, which is if I
8:57
Speaker 3: didn't have to be careful in the sun, I probably
9:01
Speaker 3: enjoy it more. But the thing is is like even
9:02
Speaker 3: then we just talked about it at lunch, like sea water.
9:05
Speaker 3: I think it's the ickiness of it. I hate being ikey.
9:09
Speaker 3: Good word, it's a good word in it.
9:10
Speaker 2: It's like ikey so a bit uncomfortable. You feel like
9:13
Speaker 2: you're a bit dirty. Yeah, you're not quite comfortable in
9:16
Speaker 2: your own city.
9:17
Speaker 3: Why I hate Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai humid. Yeah, I
9:22
Speaker 3: was there on tour and I just I can't deal
9:24
Speaker 3: with it. Like you walk out into the street and
9:26
Speaker 3: after literally five minutes, I'm just icky everywhere, Like everything's sticky. Yeah,
9:30
Speaker 3: and it's just it's horrible. And so the beach is
9:33
Speaker 3: that but times a thousand, because one you've got to
9:36
Speaker 3: put Sun's sun cream on. So that's ikey. You're icky
9:39
Speaker 3: before you even leave the house. Yeah, you're feeling sticky
9:42
Speaker 3: and it's like, oh god, this is horrible because then
9:44
Speaker 3: you're like, I've got a T shirt on, but I'm
9:46
Speaker 3: underneath it's like stuck to me, and I'm going to
9:48
Speaker 3: take it off, but you know, you cream up before
9:50
Speaker 3: you go out because it takes like half You're supposed
9:53
Speaker 3: to put it on half an hour before you go
9:54
Speaker 3: get under sun exposure. So then you go out to
9:56
Speaker 3: the beach and then it's just like the sea water
9:59
Speaker 3: makes it and worse, and then there's sand everywhere.
10:01
Speaker 2: The seawater is also it's full of all sorts of
10:04
Speaker 2: micro life forms and stuff there now all over your body,
10:07
Speaker 2: and you know.
10:08
Speaker 3: I didn't really think about that.
10:10
Speaker 2: That's salt, salt and all sorts of It's a whole ecosystem,
10:14
Speaker 2: isn't it.
10:14
Speaker 3: I hate that and the sand, and just like that
10:17
Speaker 3: you're incapable of doing anything. Like you're on the beach.
10:19
Speaker 3: It's like, all right, cool, we need to find a
10:21
Speaker 3: place to sit down. But then you need the umbrella
10:23
Speaker 3: or I need an umbrella, So we need to have
10:24
Speaker 3: bought the umbrella at the shop.
10:26
Speaker 2: Which makes no sense because it's like the whole thing
10:28
Speaker 2: is a mission to get out into the sun, and
10:30
Speaker 2: then as soon as you're there, it's a mission to
10:31
Speaker 2: hide from the sun and protect yourself from the sun.
10:34
Speaker 2: Are you wearing your hat, have you put sunscreen on?
10:36
Speaker 2: You need to find a place in the shade, like
10:38
Speaker 2: do you want to be in the sun or not?
10:39
Speaker 2: To make up your mind? And I don't understand it.
10:41
Speaker 3: I hate it. I can't do it. And it's like,
10:43
Speaker 3: all right, we go for lunch. You got to pack
10:45
Speaker 3: all that up. And it's just like you because you
10:47
Speaker 3: spend like fifty euros buying an umbrella at the shop
10:50
Speaker 3: and then all of the maps because you're not going
10:51
Speaker 3: to take a flight with an umbrella, do you know
10:53
Speaker 3: what I mean? It's like, oh, does this fit into
10:54
Speaker 3: my Ryanair carry on?
10:55
Speaker 1: No?
10:56
Speaker 3: It doesn't. Yeah, so then you've got to buy it.
10:58
Speaker 3: Then you've got to leave it there. So and what
11:00
Speaker 3: about I can't hate it.
11:01
Speaker 2: Leaving the beach as well is a pain, isn't it,
11:03
Speaker 2: because you've got all the sand stuck to your body,
11:05
Speaker 2: especially your feet and ankles.
11:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you've got yet in the car it's
11:08
Speaker 3: obviously a rental car. But then it's like you've got
11:10
Speaker 3: sand everywhere, and then you just sand obviously makes it
11:12
Speaker 3: into your bed, you know, and into the apartment or
11:15
Speaker 3: the house that you're staying at. I can't do I
11:17
Speaker 3: hate beach holidays, and.
11:18
Speaker 2: Also what's the appeal of it anyway? I mean, I
11:21
Speaker 2: was thinking the other day, it's it's it's it's where
11:24
Speaker 2: the sand meets the water. If it wasn't, I mean,
11:25
Speaker 2: you don't go in the water that much. Most of
11:27
Speaker 2: the time. You're just on the sands. You just you know,
11:29
Speaker 2: if you took the water out of the picture, you're
11:31
Speaker 2: basically going to just lie down in a desert somewhere,
11:35
Speaker 2: you know, right, yeah, basically the same thing. It's hot,
11:41
Speaker 2: it's sandy, you're not even in the water. You might
11:45
Speaker 2: as well just go to you know, some some dessert.
11:47
Speaker 3: As The best holiday I think we've ever had as
11:49
Speaker 3: a family is we went to Corsica where we got married.
11:52
Speaker 4: Famously got lovely beaches.
11:54
Speaker 3: Which got lovely beaches, but we managed to find a
11:56
Speaker 3: place that had like a swimming pool in like it
12:01
Speaker 3: was like it was like a villa with a.
12:02
Speaker 2: Swimming You went, you went to the place that's famous
12:04
Speaker 2: for its beaches, and.
12:06
Speaker 3: I went to the swimming pool. I was like, the
12:08
Speaker 3: girls went to the beach in the morning, and he
12:10
Speaker 3: was happy. She did the beach, you know, and then
12:12
Speaker 3: they came back for lunch. And then we spent the
12:13
Speaker 3: afternoon in the swimming pool. I was like, this is
12:15
Speaker 3: great because I get to sleep in. Yeah, because most
12:19
Speaker 3: my problem with family holidays is that I come, I'm
12:21
Speaker 3: awake before I'm naturally awake, and so it's it's I'm
12:25
Speaker 3: not resting. Basically, it's not a holiday. Is not a
12:28
Speaker 3: holiday right now. You need a holiday when you get
12:31
Speaker 3: back from it. As everyone says, you.
12:32
Speaker 4: Don't agree with this, You like a beach holiday.
12:34
Speaker 2: Well you see, yeah, I'm a bit of both. But
12:37
Speaker 2: I will do a beach holiday under certain conditions.
12:41
Speaker 4: Holiday with you. We haveday together where So I think
12:47
Speaker 4: this is a couple of years.
12:48
Speaker 3: Ago, wasn't it.
12:48
Speaker 4: Yeah it was a minute ago. Yeah, two three years ago.
12:51
Speaker 2: So that was Ilda Ray. And the difference is it's
12:56
Speaker 2: not it's not as hot as it is let's say
12:58
Speaker 2: in the Mediterranean.
12:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, not at all.
13:00
Speaker 2: And so I quite like that, like almost like gracing
13:03
Speaker 2: racing chili beach, like sort of a Welsh beach or
13:06
Speaker 2: something like that. You know, Ireland, you know where you're
13:10
Speaker 2: like put on a couple of layers. You can go
13:13
Speaker 2: out and paddle in the water. You don't need to swim.
13:16
Speaker 2: No one needs to swim. You're not surfing, you know,
13:19
Speaker 2: just paddle in the water, that's fine. Put on a
13:22
Speaker 2: sweater if you get a bit chilly, and explore. Oh
13:25
Speaker 2: here we go again. A jumper, A jumper, A jumper.
13:28
Speaker 2: I do apologize and I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
13:31
Speaker 3: Specialty type of clothing.
13:32
Speaker 2: Yeah you can. You can wander around and explore rock
13:35
Speaker 2: pools and things like that, right, and activities on the beach.
13:39
Speaker 2: So I love building sand castles.
13:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's funite.
13:42
Speaker 2: Just lie on a beach and try and read a
13:44
Speaker 2: book that my sister lives.
13:46
Speaker 4: You know, in Devon, and we were looking around the
13:48
Speaker 4: bookshop and there was this book in there and it
13:50
Speaker 4: was called like ninety nine things to Do on the Beach.
13:53
Speaker 4: And I was talking to Nick car and I was like, yeah,
13:55
Speaker 4: swimming is not going to be one of them, because
13:57
Speaker 4: like in England, you know, like the beach is very
13:59
Speaker 4: much you don't go there to swim, you can't.
14:02
Speaker 2: Well you can go there to swim only if you're
14:04
Speaker 2: from if you're a Victorian, yes, and you're wearing a
14:09
Speaker 2: full body stripey swimsuit and running into the beach like
14:15
Speaker 2: into the water like this.
14:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you need stuff to do. Like I like, yeah,
14:19
Speaker 3: I've there's holidays where because I've been surfing before and
14:24
Speaker 3: I enjoy that. Like when I lived in Australia, i
14:27
Speaker 3: went surfing, but it was the winter, so I went
14:29
Speaker 3: surfing in the winter there. But the beach, I mean
14:31
Speaker 3: winter there is like fifteen degrees. It's like this weather
14:33
Speaker 3: basically outside, and it's fun to go surfing. But often
14:38
Speaker 3: surfing beaches don't match with ADDIE's wanting to swim because
14:43
Speaker 3: where there's waves, it means it's cold.
14:45
Speaker 2: It's incredibly dangerous. It's dangerous, but it's also cold.
14:47
Speaker 3: It's like on the Atlantic thing where she likes warm
14:50
Speaker 3: Mediterranean water, and there are no waves in the Mediterranean.
14:54
Speaker 3: So it's yeah, we've just never found anything compatible.
14:56
Speaker 4: I love I love a beach. I love a beach
14:58
Speaker 4: holiday lovely, but it needs to be You were very right.
15:01
Speaker 4: You need a lot of stuff, so you've got to
15:02
Speaker 4: be able to drive there, because to go to the
15:05
Speaker 4: beach and have a good time, you've got to bring equipment.
15:08
Speaker 4: You need towels, you need brankets, you need a picnic,
15:11
Speaker 4: you need kites, you need spades, not like plastic spades,
15:14
Speaker 4: proper spades, because if you want to get your sand
15:16
Speaker 4: castling on, you've got to be able to dig. I meanly,
15:19
Speaker 4: Nicko's really invested in spades.
15:21
Speaker 2: Even those wooden ones with the metal blades, they're not
15:24
Speaker 2: good enough because they will break after they will break
15:26
Speaker 2: sort of a good seven hours of solid digging those spades.
15:31
Speaker 2: You need proper gardening equipment, industrial castle buildings.
15:36
Speaker 3: Sounds like you're both very well versed in spades, spades
15:39
Speaker 3: and having to unearth things and bury people.
15:44
Speaker 2: Do you think that people around the world do sand
15:47
Speaker 2: castles or is it just us?
15:48
Speaker 1: No?
15:49
Speaker 4: No, so now, so we've been t England. Nico has
15:52
Speaker 4: been to England and he's seen the sand castling game,
15:54
Speaker 4: which is very much the dad's domain. Children will get involved,
15:58
Speaker 4: but it's really what the dads do. They get there.
16:00
Speaker 4: They set up there like windbreakers and they start getting
16:03
Speaker 4: their sand castling on. They're not just like filling a
16:05
Speaker 4: bucket and.
16:06
Speaker 3: Like Tippy got sand in the UK.
16:10
Speaker 4: Beaches Brighton, he's been deprived as a child doesn't even have.
16:14
Speaker 4: It's not Brighton Brighton Stones, but like all around Devon
16:18
Speaker 4: and Cornwall.
16:19
Speaker 2: Norfolk, the Norfolk coasts, there's loads of feu beaches.
16:23
Speaker 4: So they're getting there like sand castling on. And now
16:25
Speaker 4: when we go to the beach, like you know, he's
16:27
Speaker 4: really up to his game. It's because children are coming
16:30
Speaker 4: from all around. They can't believe what they're seeing. The
16:32
Speaker 4: French children are joining in. They're like what's happening. They're
16:35
Speaker 4: all getting involved. They're collecting things, they're getting buckets, they're
16:38
Speaker 4: getting their pathetic spades, and like you know, you can
16:40
Speaker 4: see the parents, the dad's what's going on? And Nico's
16:43
Speaker 4: there triumphant amongst.
16:44
Speaker 3: It's just like the barbecue game. It feels like it
16:46
Speaker 3: feels like the equivalent of like Australian barbecue. Yeah, or
16:49
Speaker 3: just like you know, as soon as it's a barbecue
16:52
Speaker 3: in the house is like right, let me get the
16:54
Speaker 3: equipment ready.
16:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so all the men are like, wa, give
16:58
Speaker 2: you an idea of what we're talking about. The way
17:00
Speaker 2: I would approach it is I would first of all,
17:02
Speaker 2: build a would dig a perimeter trench circle square, and
17:08
Speaker 2: it's about the size of the circle that we're sitting
17:10
Speaker 2: in here, right, bigger or bigger, Yeah, but let's start
17:14
Speaker 2: with that. Let's call it an intermediate castle. You dig
17:18
Speaker 2: your trench around and you you load all of the
17:20
Speaker 2: piles of sand into the middle, and you slowly big
17:23
Speaker 2: dig that trench bigger and bigger, and you make a
17:25
Speaker 2: big mound sand in the middle, and that's your that's
17:29
Speaker 2: the basis of your Let's call it a Mott and.
17:31
Speaker 4: Bailey, exactly typical Mott and bailey.
17:36
Speaker 2: About this goes back to the origins of talking about
17:41
Speaker 2: medieval castle buildings. Need so the mott and bailey castle
17:45
Speaker 2: is a genuine term to describe the early form of castle,
17:49
Speaker 2: which essentially that a trench with a mound.
17:52
Speaker 3: Mott and bailey. You need to tell people how because
17:55
Speaker 3: I typed in motton as in t t o n bailey.
17:59
Speaker 2: So it's and so the mart is the moat the trench,
18:03
Speaker 2: and then the bailey, I suppose is the is the mound.
18:05
Speaker 2: And you would build a little hut on the top
18:08
Speaker 2: of it, and you build a fence around the moat,
18:10
Speaker 2: and Bob's your uncle. But so it's like that basically.
18:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like for the people watching on YouTube.
18:15
Speaker 2: I don't know what age this is, think of a
18:18
Speaker 2: very early sort.
18:19
Speaker 4: Of sixty six. This is a sort of like Middle.
18:21
Speaker 2: Ages bailey made of wood village. Okay, it can be
18:25
Speaker 2: constructed fairly quickly. I imagine right one of those things. Anyway,
18:29
Speaker 2: you have taken a similar approach to the sand castle.
18:31
Speaker 2: Build a build a trench, a moat, and then a
18:34
Speaker 2: big mound, and on top of that mound you can
18:35
Speaker 2: then start building sand castles with your bucket. You fill
18:39
Speaker 2: up the bucket with with sand that's a bit damp,
18:42
Speaker 2: and you.
18:42
Speaker 4: And you want to do it close enough to the sea, yes,
18:45
Speaker 4: so that you can get that satisfying moment where the
18:48
Speaker 4: moat fills up with water before it all gets destroyed.
18:51
Speaker 2: You want to you want to build your sand castle
18:53
Speaker 2: at low time.
18:56
Speaker 3: So you're looking up the tide before you're doing.
18:59
Speaker 2: This check out when low tide, build your castle there.
19:02
Speaker 4: You don't want to build it too deep because it
19:04
Speaker 4: sound will be too wet. You've got to be sort
19:06
Speaker 4: of close to the sort of tideline.
19:08
Speaker 2: If you build it too close to the water too deep,
19:11
Speaker 2: then there's water underneath the surface that's that's streaming down.
19:15
Speaker 2: So you need to build it the right place. And
19:17
Speaker 2: then you build up your castle and whatever you want.
19:20
Speaker 2: And then yeah, the satisfying bit is when the tide
19:23
Speaker 2: eventually comes in and your castle gets destroyed by the
19:26
Speaker 2: water as it encroaches and.
19:28
Speaker 4: You can make a long channel. But this, I would
19:30
Speaker 4: posit is a very English castle building technique because everything
19:33
Speaker 4: changed for us once Nico saw just what was capable,
19:36
Speaker 4: what a dad was capable of doing. He invested in
19:39
Speaker 4: his materials and we see and you know, in an
19:42
Speaker 4: English beach because no one's swimming because it's so cold,
19:45
Speaker 4: that's what's happening, like the castle building as well, on
19:48
Speaker 4: a French beach, that's not what dads are doing. They
19:50
Speaker 4: are not. You might you might see one or two
19:52
Speaker 4: little buckets here and there they've got.
19:54
Speaker 3: I mean every time we've been deprived. Yeah, we like
19:57
Speaker 3: when we go in a few times we've been on
19:59
Speaker 3: a beach holiday. It's just yeah, you fill up one
20:02
Speaker 3: bucket like a pepper pig bucket and just put that
20:04
Speaker 3: on the thing and then take it off and that's it.
20:06
Speaker 3: And she puts a little flag on it.
20:08
Speaker 4: No, that's not a sand castle.
20:10
Speaker 2: You've got to be much more ambitious and industrious than that.
20:12
Speaker 4: But then I like being on the beach. I like
20:14
Speaker 4: reading a book. I like that the kids have got
20:15
Speaker 4: stuff to play. I love a kite, Oh love a kite. Yeah,
20:19
Speaker 4: the kite, love a frisbee. I love swimming in the sea.
20:23
Speaker 3: So how do you deal with the.
20:26
Speaker 4: Or you just go somewhere hot, like I don't like
20:29
Speaker 4: the Mediterranean. Like I don't go somewhere hot. I'm not
20:31
Speaker 4: too bad in the sunshine. We bring loads of materials
20:35
Speaker 4: sun Shane, I'm not. We bring loads of materials. We've
20:37
Speaker 4: got an in car. We've gone to like a Brittany.
20:39
Speaker 4: That's where we go. It's not too hot. Love swimming,
20:42
Speaker 4: and then when I get home and just wash all
20:43
Speaker 4: the stuff, just pop it in the mood.
20:45
Speaker 2: It's a state of mind as much as anything else. Right,
20:47
Speaker 2: if you it's like going to a festival, you've got
20:49
Speaker 2: to think to yourself, right, I'm going to get ikey
20:51
Speaker 2: and I'm just going to learn to live with it
20:53
Speaker 2: and maybe even enjoy it.
20:54
Speaker 3: Like maybe it's maybe it's the wrong maybe because maybe
20:58
Speaker 3: I'm confusing the ickiness with the heat. Maybe it's maybe
21:01
Speaker 3: my problem is the heat.
21:02
Speaker 4: But it sounds like the sand. You don't like either.
21:03
Speaker 4: But one of the things you could do, like you know,
21:05
Speaker 4: the kids, you put them in those sunshirts. You can
21:09
Speaker 4: get them from grown ups too, and then you don't
21:10
Speaker 4: need to put loads of sunscreen on. You can just
21:12
Speaker 4: be wearing like a little a uva.
21:15
Speaker 3: They do it like a long sleeves a bit. Yeah,
21:17
Speaker 3: you know, but I could do Yeah, I could do. Yeah,
21:20
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe maybe I'll find.
21:22
Speaker 4: My But you lady wouldn't like it. It's cold, like
21:26
Speaker 4: getting into the sea.
21:27
Speaker 3: I think it might be a good compromise where she'll
21:29
Speaker 3: be happy to just be at the ocean.
21:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, on sand is very beautiful.
21:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty good, Rye. I'm going to transition segue
21:45
Speaker 2: to something completely different at this point. So I was wondering.
21:52
Speaker 2: I was wondering about whether or not there are other
21:56
Speaker 2: famous people who have the same name as you. Okay,
22:01
Speaker 2: I've got Are there other famous people who have your name?
22:05
Speaker 3: So?
22:06
Speaker 2: Are there? Obviously, Paul Taylor is a famous name. Amber
22:09
Speaker 2: Minogue is a famous name in Letland especially, But are
22:14
Speaker 2: there other Paul Taylors? Are there other Amber Minogues? Are
22:16
Speaker 2: there other Luke Thompson's in the world?
22:18
Speaker 3: Have you looked at if you look at much?
22:19
Speaker 2: I've checked this out, but I'm asking you first, Paul, Okay,
22:22
Speaker 2: do you know how many how many famous Paul Taylors
22:24
Speaker 2: are there other than you.
22:26
Speaker 3: There's a few I think that I want to say
22:31
Speaker 3: in the twenties, what twenty Yeah, because if you type
22:34
Speaker 3: in portailing to Wikipedia, there's like a cricket player, a
22:37
Speaker 3: football player, There's like a whole thing. I The reason
22:41
Speaker 3: I know this as well is my tour in the
22:44
Speaker 3: US that I've just come out of. So show one.
22:47
Speaker 2: So, so you just come back from a tour of
22:49
Speaker 2: the United States of America doing comedy, doing comedy different
22:53
Speaker 2: cities around the country, including Chicago.
22:57
Speaker 3: I did, Yeah, I did so. I did twelve the
23:00
Speaker 3: US shows and four Canadian shows, sixteen in total. Show
23:04
Speaker 3: number one Orlando, Florida, a place called the House of Blues.
23:08
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's it.
23:09
Speaker 3: And the House of Blues is on Disney It's like Disneyland.
23:13

23:16
Speaker 3: the it's Disneyland Land. Yeah. Oh, it's land that Disney owned,
23:20
Speaker 3: disney Land, technically Disneyland because it's Disney World. Disney World
23:24

23:30
Speaker 3: venue hold like fifteen hundred people a thousand, five hundred,
23:34
Speaker 3: and there's sixty two people at my show. Oh and gosh,
23:38

23:45
Speaker 3: The show, I'm like, am I too liberal? This is Florida?
23:49
Speaker 3: Am I too European? What's why have they walked out?
23:52
Speaker 3: Found out after the show from the venue that they
23:54
Speaker 3: had bought tickets to see Paul Taylor, the black jazz musician. Oh,
24:00
Speaker 3: which makes.
24:00
Speaker 4: It very much not you, no, but it makes.
24:02
Speaker 3: Sense the House of Blues, it would makes sense, right,
24:05
Speaker 3: there's a black jazz musician.
24:06
Speaker 4: Had they spent just a moment looking at the information,
24:10
Speaker 4: they would have seen like, very much not a black
24:12
Speaker 4: jazz No.
24:13
Speaker 2: If you're if you're booking tickets to the House of Blues,
24:16

24:40
Speaker 3: about a week later at the House of Blues in Chicago.

Speaker 3: I was worried about the whole show. It turned out
24:59
Speaker 3: they'd come to see this other musician, like black jazz
25:02
Speaker 3: musician called Paul Taylor. So I'm like, I hope you've
25:05
Speaker 3: all come to see this Paul Taylor, right, And like,
25:08
Speaker 3: out of the corner of my eye, I can see
25:09
Speaker 3: a black couple in the front row, like laughing internally.
25:13
Speaker 3: You know. For some reason, what I love like black
25:17
Speaker 3: audiences in the US when you see like the videos
25:19
Speaker 3: of like deaf jam comedy, the whole body just convulses
25:24
Speaker 3: with laughter. So they're not laughing out loud, but I
25:26
Speaker 3: can see, Like I'm like, so I look at them,
25:28
Speaker 3: I'm like, did you guys come for the other Paul Taylor?
25:31
Speaker 3: And they're like yeah. I'm like, oh, for fuck sake,

25:39
Speaker 3: be good. And so I was doing the show, and
25:43
Speaker 3: every now and again i'd look out and just see
25:45
Speaker 3: if they were enjoying it, and they were laughing. So
25:47
Speaker 3: I was like, all right, if I can make if
25:49
Speaker 3: I can make like a black couple from Chicago laugh
25:52
Speaker 3: And they hadn't even come to see me. They come
25:54
Speaker 3: to see like a.
25:54
Speaker 2: Black jazz some white English dude talking about living in exactly.
25:59
Speaker 3: And so I was like, all right, So then that hopefully,

28:37
Speaker 4: you've put your you've looked for something which has got
28:39
Speaker 4: your name in.
28:40
Speaker 2: It, You've googled yourself. That's all right.
28:44
Speaker 4: I don't think I've googled myself, certainly, not recently. But
28:47
Speaker 4: I remember having to look for something and being like,
28:48
Speaker 4: oh this someone else called a rogue, or seeing something
28:51
Speaker 4: once to being like, oh, how weird. There is another
28:52
Speaker 4: but I don't know.
28:54
Speaker 3: You have another sister, another sister, unknown sister, just like
28:57
Speaker 3: the Liam and Gallagher. The Gallagher brother have got a
29:00
Speaker 3: third brother, Paul Gallagher. No, because he's a bit of
29:05
Speaker 3: a well anyway.
29:06
Speaker 2: So obviously there's there's there's Kylie Minogue and Danny Minogue,
29:10
Speaker 2: the famous Minogue sisters, the singing Minogue sisters from Australia. Absolutely,
29:14
Speaker 2: but no other amber minogues that are up there. But
29:17
Speaker 2: so this is what Google Gemini said. I said, how
29:19
Speaker 2: many famous amber minogues are there? And it said, based
29:22
Speaker 2: on the information available, there appears to be only one
29:25
Speaker 2: famous person named am I think she is a multi
29:28
Speaker 2: talented individual based in Paris.
29:32
Speaker 4: Google geminis, look through your continent. It's like who are
29:35
Speaker 4: your friends?
29:36
Speaker 2: Known for a variety of roles, comedian, voiceover artist, podcaster,
29:41
Speaker 2: tour guide. It's got your number, It knows everything about you.
29:45
Speaker 4: That's terrifying.
29:46
Speaker 2: So apparently you are the one and only famous work.
29:50
Speaker 4: Well, the last time I looked at Ambos well ago,
29:52
Speaker 4: I think there was someone who is like a judo
29:54
Speaker 4: expert or something, and I remember thinking definitely not me.
29:57
Speaker 4: How exciting. That is very exciting. But I do under
30:00
Speaker 4: if this speaks more to your.
30:04
Speaker 2: Contact my personal Google Gemini, Yes, you.
30:09

30:13
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's the other thing. How about Luke Thompson's.
30:16
Speaker 2: Do you know of any other famous Luke Thompson's.
30:17
Speaker 4: Luke Thompson, to be fair, is a very it's a
30:20
Speaker 4: solid name.
30:21
Speaker 3: Paul Taylor, it's very well, it's not that common of
30:25
Speaker 3: a first name, but pre Thompson.
30:27
Speaker 4: Though there's a lot of Thompson's, there's been.
30:29
Speaker 3: A lot of Thompson might be related.
30:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you know this? It might be cousins.
30:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, so my dad's mum, so my grandma, her maiden
30:40
Speaker 3: name is Thompson, and I met her sister who's called
30:42
Speaker 3: Jane and they're all from Yorkshire and.
30:45
Speaker 2: His family are all from York.
30:47
Speaker 4: She needs to do a genealogy.
30:49
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be fun?
30:50
Speaker 4: We should do an episode and do a genealogy.
30:52
Speaker 2: You imagine, it really works.
30:54
Speaker 4: There's all lots of resources you can find. Especially, I've
30:57
Speaker 4: got a bit of information.
30:58
Speaker 2: Basically we both have. You know, we're both Thompson's, although
31:02
Speaker 2: that's not directly now, but your dad's mum was called Thompson.
31:06
Speaker 3: And she got married to a tailor, right.
31:08
Speaker 2: So Thompson's. We're part of the Thompson clan from Yorkshire.
31:12
Speaker 2: There's a good chance that we are cousins of some
31:15
Speaker 2: descriptions we.
31:16
Speaker 4: Need to find out. Okay, come on, then I would
31:18
Speaker 4: say there must be there must be more than we.
31:20
Speaker 3: Should do an investigative episode where we're going through the
31:24
Speaker 3: different program Who do you think?
31:27
Speaker 2: Yeah?
31:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, who do you think you are?
31:30
Speaker 1: Yeah?
31:30
Speaker 4: That would be really good.
31:31
Speaker 2: So Luke Thompson's this is what Google Gemini said. It
31:35
Speaker 2: said there are several famous individuals named Luke Thompson. So,
31:38
Speaker 2: first of all, Luke Thompson the actor an English actor

Speaker 2: Shakespearean plays and films like Dunkirk.
31:54
Speaker 3: He grew up.
31:54
Speaker 2: He grew up in France and speaks French fluently, so
31:57
Speaker 2: it's definitely not me.
32:01
Speaker 4: You need to get him on the show.
32:04
Speaker 2: I should do. Then there's also Luke Thompson rugby league footballer,
32:08
Speaker 2: a rugby player, an English professional rugby league player. Uh,
32:12
Speaker 2: you know, plays for Wigan Warriors and also England and
32:16
Speaker 2: Great Britain. And then the third one, it says Luke
32:18
Speaker 2: Thompson rugby union player. This is a retired Japanese rugby
32:23
Speaker 2: union player called Luke Thompson rightmony. He played as a
32:33
Speaker 2: lock and occasional flanker and was born in New Zealand.
32:36
Speaker 2: And then that was it, And I said, I wrote,
32:38
Speaker 2: is that it? Oh?
32:41
Speaker 3: Because there was no other Thompson.
32:46
Speaker 4: You've got if I'm not mistaken, I mean a substantial
32:51
Speaker 4: million people following you on Yao chow.
32:54
Speaker 2: So I said, is that it? And it said, oh,
32:56
Speaker 2: there's also another notable Luke Thompson, who is a prominent
33:00
Speaker 2: figure in the world of English language education and that
33:04
Speaker 2: turns out to be me. But did you know that
33:06
Speaker 2: there are? There are? So my website is teacher Luke
33:09
Speaker 2: dot co dot uk. Right, there are other teacher Luke's.
33:13
Speaker 2: Did you know? There's two other teacher Luke's and they're
33:16
Speaker 2: both in the world of teaching English.
33:18
Speaker 3: As are they more recent than you?
33:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm the original.
33:21
Speaker 3: So you think that do you reckon? They might have
33:23
Speaker 3: like been like, oh, my name is also Luke. Let
33:24
Speaker 3: me maybe let me ride the way.
33:26
Speaker 2: Maybe one of them is teacher Luke on Instagram And
33:28
Speaker 2: I didn't take the name teacher Luke on Instagram, so
33:32
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. But anyway, the first
33:34
Speaker 2: one is like a Welsh guy who does ielts teaching,
33:37
Speaker 2: and he is known as Teacher Luke who does ilts.
33:39
Speaker 2: Every now and then I get emails from people asking
33:43
Speaker 2: specific questions about iolts and I replied, go, you've got
33:46
Speaker 2: the wrong teacher Luke.
33:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, the other one.
33:48
Speaker 2: And then there's the third Teacher Luke, who is, as
33:51
Speaker 2: far as I can tell, like an evil teacher Luke.
33:54
Speaker 2: Oh and this is genuinely bad?
33:59
Speaker 4: Is he teaching them bad stuff? For teaching them badly?
34:02
Speaker 2: Not teach it's not the teaching that's the problem. There
34:05
Speaker 2: was something else, Okay, thickens. So so teacher, I'm going
34:11
Speaker 2: to just google this, right, Teacher Luke Thailand.
34:15
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, I know this arrested. Oh he's ruining
34:18
Speaker 4: he's ruining the name of teacher Luke.
34:20
Speaker 3: No.
34:20
Speaker 4: I do know this because I remember seeing it.
34:22
Speaker 2: Me Like, I feel like I could even take the
34:24
Speaker 2: guy to court for bringing the name teacher Luke into disrepute. Yeah,
34:28
Speaker 2: because if you google teacher Luke, he does actually come up.
34:31
Speaker 2: Really and this is a very what's the word for it. Yeah,
34:36
Speaker 2: he's bringing the name into into disrepute in a big way.
34:39
Speaker 2: This is actually a very serious story.
34:41
Speaker 1: It is.
34:41
Speaker 2: He was arrested. I won't go into the details, but
34:44
Speaker 2: he was arrested.
34:45
Speaker 4: It was in Thailand. You just finish it anymore.
34:48
Speaker 2: You know, a TikTok star. So he was big on TikTok,
34:51
Speaker 2: like the biggest teacher Luke on TikTok. It was an
34:54
Speaker 2: American teacher teaching English in Thailand. And basically he was
35:02
Speaker 2: charged with well doing something wrong with someone who was underage.
35:08
Speaker 2: Ah no, And it's a very egregious story, sordid, sordid,
35:15
Speaker 2: so this is the evil teacher.
35:17
Speaker 4: Look, wasn't one something?
35:19
Speaker 1: Oh?
35:19
Speaker 2: I think it was a number of cases. It was
35:22
Speaker 2: a a couple of instances, I think sixteen years old.
35:25
Speaker 2: But still there were other details involved.
35:28
Speaker 4: It was very murky and dark and sordid.
35:30
Speaker 3: You went, you went, you went down on it. You're
35:32
Speaker 3: into your true crime stuff I do in your French
35:35
Speaker 3: TV shows.
35:36
Speaker 4: There is nothing I like more than true crime.
35:38
Speaker 3: What is it with true crime? It feels like.
35:40
Speaker 4: It's just a basic bitch I am so I don't know,
35:45
Speaker 4: like there's nothing more relaxing, Like I'm making dinner for
35:47
Speaker 4: my family, I'm cleaning the house and I'm just hearing
35:49
Speaker 4: about people getting stabbed in the face, and it's just
35:53
Speaker 4: just calming for me, just relaxing.
35:56
Speaker 2: But just a final point on that, just don't get
35:58
Speaker 2: your teacher Luke's mixed up. Okay, I'm the original, don't
36:02
Speaker 2: you know? Accept no substitutions.
36:04
Speaker 4: Basically, it's really interesting about how names can get sort
36:09
Speaker 4: of names and reputations can get ruined, and how that
36:13
Speaker 4: can stick and not stick. Oh my gosh. So my
36:17
Speaker 4: son's reading for the summer holidays was this really good book.
36:21
Speaker 4: So you know, Trevoroah. So he's a.
36:24
Speaker 2: South African comedian made a name for himself around the
36:28
Speaker 2: world as a fantastic stand up comedian who also had
36:31
Speaker 2: these incredible stories of living in apartheid South Africa.
36:35
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly.
36:35
Speaker 2: So he's of mixed race, but he lived under apartheid
36:39
Speaker 2: as a child.
36:41
Speaker 3: You will have seen him if you're on the internet
36:43
Speaker 3: hosting a daily show.
36:45
Speaker 4: Then he's super successful and you know, he's brilliant man,
36:48
Speaker 4: really brilliant. Load's great stand up and he was born
36:51
Speaker 4: during his book is called born a Crime because his
36:56
Speaker 4: mother was black and his father was white, and so
36:59
Speaker 4: in South Africa that means he's colored and that's that
37:02
Speaker 4: that's how they organize it, which was illegal. So he
37:06
Speaker 4: was born a crime. So he's talking about like apartheis African.
37:08
Speaker 4: It's like very hard hitting and it's really really interesting
37:12
Speaker 4: and he's a great writer and it's a really great
37:15
Speaker 4: book like for kids to read. And the reason I'm
37:17
Speaker 4: telling you about this is because like some names, so
37:20
Speaker 4: like Luke is sort of and Paul, their names they're
37:23
Speaker 4: such solid name. Yeah, and there's such solid names that
37:27
Speaker 4: like there's been some dodgy Luke's there's been some dodgy Pauls.
37:29
Speaker 4: There's been some great Lukes, has been some great Pools.
37:31
Speaker 4: But it doesn't matter, like it's not. It sort of
37:33
Speaker 4: rushes off of you. Some names, that's it. They're kind
37:37
Speaker 4: of a bit more unusual. And then if you do something.
37:39
Speaker 2: Terrible like that, you know, no one's calling their kid Adolph,
37:42
Speaker 2: or at least I hope they're not. Anyway, well some
37:45
Speaker 2: of the some are.
37:46
Speaker 4: But anyway, exactly like Adolf, it's a bit more used.
37:48
Speaker 4: Your name. It used to be a very common name.
37:50
Speaker 4: Now you can't really use it, you know, whereas Joseph Stalin,
37:53
Speaker 4: you know Joseph, Fine, no one cares, do you know
37:55
Speaker 4: what I mean?
37:56
Speaker 3: He did?
37:56
Speaker 4: He did all full terrible things the name. So some
37:59
Speaker 4: names anyway, and then in borner crime we have this
38:01
Speaker 4: so like a lot of the people in South Africa,
38:04
Speaker 4: Black people in South Africa, they have black names. You've
38:06
Speaker 4: got names which come from like many different languages and traditions,
38:10
Speaker 4: and so then they also choose a white name, which
38:12
Speaker 4: is like a lot easier for white people. You know,
38:14
Speaker 4: all problems South Africa say, but their names are often
38:17
Speaker 4: just picked really randomly. Remembering that a lot of these
38:21
Speaker 4: people don't have haven't gone to school, they might not
38:23
Speaker 4: have such a big education in terms of like European
38:25
Speaker 4: history and culture, and so it'll be like a name
38:27
Speaker 4: they've heard on the news or like whatever. And so
38:31
Speaker 4: Trevoroah is talking about this friend that he's has, who
38:35
Speaker 4: is this great guy's an amazing dancer, and he's called Hitler.
38:38
Speaker 4: His name is Hitler.
38:41
Speaker 2: Hitler.
38:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, And they don't know who Hitler is and they
38:45
Speaker 4: don't care, and they've just like they've heard this guy.
38:47
Speaker 4: He's called Hitler. He was really like big in the
38:49
Speaker 4: Second World War. Must be a good you know, why not. Yeah,
38:52
Speaker 4: So his name is whatever, like his sort of black name.
38:54
Speaker 4: And then his name is Hitler, and he goes on,
38:56
Speaker 4: you're not gonna read the books. It's a guy, he's
38:58
Speaker 4: black guy, Yeah, exactly. And so then Trevor Noah, he's
39:01
Speaker 4: a real hustler. It's amazing all the things he's done.
39:04
Speaker 4: It's so interesting. And he's describing the scene how like
39:07
Speaker 4: they're like bootlegging all this music, you know, like this
39:10
Speaker 4: rap music from America, and it's like apartheid is breaking
39:13
Speaker 4: down and rap culture is exploding at the same time,
39:15
Speaker 4: and it's like feeling of like being black and having
39:18
Speaker 4: identity and come of the hood really cool. But to
39:20
Speaker 4: bring this new music in, like dance is so important
39:22
Speaker 4: in South Africa. They've got to get the dance moves.
39:24
Speaker 4: So he's hustling the music and he's got this team
39:26
Speaker 4: of friends who are like doing the moves, and he's like,
39:28
Speaker 4: no one can beat Hitler. Hitler is amazing. So when
39:31
Speaker 4: Hitler comes out, they like make space and they're like,
39:33
Speaker 4: go Hitler, go Hitler. We're already like this is uncomfortable.
39:38
Speaker 4: It's uncomfortable reading it. They get a gig in part
39:40
Speaker 4: of this diversity program and it's like cultural, you know
39:43
Speaker 4: where this is going, but it's going there. He gets
39:45
Speaker 4: this gig and this diversity program thing at a Jewish school,
39:50
Speaker 4: so they don't realize what happens. So he's like spinning
39:53
Speaker 4: the music and it's amazing and like everyone's going wild.
39:56
Speaker 4: This is so fun. And then of course Hitler comes
39:58
Speaker 4: out and they make space and then Hitler's doing his
40:01
Speaker 4: moves and they're like, go Hitler, go Hitler. You know,
40:04
Speaker 4: just with arm up in the air. Everyone falls silent.
40:07
Speaker 4: They're horrified, obviously, and then the teacher comes up they're Jewish,
40:12
Speaker 4: but they're white, you know what I mean. And then
40:14
Speaker 4: she's like, you know, I couldn't believe you do this,
40:17
Speaker 4: and he thinks it's just too sexy for them, it's
40:19
Speaker 4: too cool. And he's like, we'll do what we want.
40:21
Speaker 4: We're free now. And she's like, get out. What a story,
40:27
Speaker 4: such a good story. He's such a good writer. Needless
40:29
Speaker 4: because he's a great comic.
40:30
Speaker 3: But I started the book, haven't finished it, but it's
40:34
Speaker 3: really good.
40:35
Speaker 2: Yeah.
40:35
Speaker 3: I got it ages ago, seven years ago. I think
40:38
Speaker 3: read on.
40:39
Speaker 4: We read it over summer.
40:40
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm terrible at reading.
40:41
Speaker 4: It was our car reading. I was reading it in
40:43
Speaker 4: the car.
40:44
Speaker 2: Can I go just back at the end of the
40:46
Speaker 2: end here to talk about a little bit more about
40:48
Speaker 2: what AI says about us? Yes, So you know, AI,
40:51
Speaker 2: of course is getting more and more reliable. You know,
40:53
Speaker 2: it used to make a lot of mistakes and it's
40:55
Speaker 2: kind of getting better. But some AI is better than others. Right,
40:58
Speaker 2: everyone's using the chat chip teas and the Google geminis
41:01
Speaker 2: and stuff. For this particular exercise I'm going to do now,
41:04
Speaker 2: I asked Microsoft co pilot. Definitely the sort of channel
41:08
Speaker 2: five of AI, I asked Microsoft Copilot to give me
41:13
Speaker 2: quotes of things that you two have said on this podcast. Oh,
41:17
Speaker 2: let's see how accurate it is. So first up Amber's
41:20
Speaker 2: famous quotes from Luke's English podcast.
41:23
Speaker 4: And I want you to tell me this will have
41:24
Speaker 4: no recollection. Well you could tell me anything exactly.
41:27
Speaker 3: Can you remember you should have you should have said
41:30
Speaker 3: here's a quote which which one of you said it.
41:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, well let's start with Ambert. Amber. Can you remember
41:35
Speaker 2: ever saying these things? So Amber, this is this is
41:39
Speaker 2: Microsoft co Pilot and Amber Minogue has delivered some absolute
41:43
Speaker 2: gems on Luke's English podcast, often often with her signature
41:48
Speaker 2: dry wit and theatrical timing. Here are some of her
41:54
Speaker 2: best and funniest quotes, pulled from various episodes and moments. Okay,
41:59
Speaker 2: so number one, I fell out of bed and just
42:02
Speaker 2: lay there like a Victorian ghost from episode nine one nine,
42:10
Speaker 2: describing a dramatic tumble that somehow sounded poetic.
42:14
Speaker 3: That was the last episode that we were on together.
42:16
Speaker 2: That's right.
42:17
Speaker 4: I don't think I lay like a Victorian do Victorian
42:19
Speaker 4: ghosts lay? Mind? You fell out of.
42:22
Speaker 2: Bed and just lay there like a Victorian ghost.
42:26
Speaker 3: Gosh, I don't remember scrat.
42:27
Speaker 2: You never said that. I said that. You do You
42:30
Speaker 2: described falling out of bed in a hotel.
42:32
Speaker 4: Yes, I do remember you falling out of bed because
42:34
Speaker 4: you get confused. You stay in hotels and you reached
42:37
Speaker 4: for a cup of tea or water and then in
42:39
Speaker 4: fact it's no more back.
42:40
Speaker 2: Okay, so you did talk about falling out of bed.
42:42
Speaker 2: Somehow Microsoft copilot got confused and decided that it was
42:45
Speaker 2: Amber who said I fell out of bed and just
42:47
Speaker 2: lay there like a Victorian ghost. You never said that it.
42:50
Speaker 3: Completely did you go back in check?
42:53
Speaker 2: I just remember there's no way you said it's like
42:55
Speaker 2: a steel trap. Yeah, here's one for Paul. Yeah. Paul
43:01
Speaker 2: Taylor is a fan favorite on Luke's English podcast, known
43:05
Speaker 2: for his high energy delivery bilingual comedy, and a knack
43:08
Speaker 2: for turning every day mishaps into laugh out loud moments.
43:13
Speaker 3: Delivery with that voice and turn into the BBC.
43:17
Speaker 4: Then I need to think of you know, AI talking
43:21
Speaker 4: like that.
43:21
Speaker 2: Here are some of his best quotes, funny, obscure and
43:24
Speaker 2: totally poor.
43:28
Speaker 4: Totally Paul.
43:30
Speaker 2: So, first one is I'm half British, half French and
43:33
Speaker 2: fully confused. No, no, you've this apparently is is your
43:38
Speaker 2: go to This is his go to line that sums
43:41
Speaker 2: up his comedy persona perfectly.
43:43
Speaker 3: What I used to say is an intro my comedy
43:45
Speaker 3: is like, I'm hard. What was the thing.
43:46
Speaker 2: I'm half British, half French.
43:50
Speaker 3: Half French. My thing was like, I'm I'm fifty percent English,
43:54
Speaker 3: fifty percent Irish, so I'm one hundred percent alcoholic. Right,
43:57
Speaker 3: That was my thing that I would.
43:58
Speaker 2: Say, which is much funnier.
43:59
Speaker 4: So is like some dodgy joke writing, Yeah, it's got,
44:02
Speaker 4: it's turning its hand.
44:04
Speaker 2: It's just it's just making it, making it up. You
44:07
Speaker 2: you never ever said one for me. Let's have okay,
44:14
Speaker 2: So all right, I won't do the intro. I'm not
44:19
Speaker 2: just a podcaster. I'm a man shouting into the void
44:22
Speaker 2: with a microphone and a cup of tea.
44:24
Speaker 4: That does actually sound like something you might have said.
44:26
Speaker 3: You know what's funny about shouting.
44:28
Speaker 4: Into the void?
44:28
Speaker 2: You've said may have done.
44:30
Speaker 3: But you know what's really interesting about that is it's
44:32
Speaker 3: it's like not it's they're incorrect, but they're not not
44:37
Speaker 3: in our universe because it wouldn't. I wouldn't put it
44:40
Speaker 3: past you saying that you're like you lay on the
44:42
Speaker 3: floor like a Victorian ghost, because you're not history stuff
44:45
Speaker 3: your thing of like, yeah, you drink into the void
44:49
Speaker 3: being like half and half boiling whatever you mean.
44:52
Speaker 4: It does have that.
44:53
Speaker 2: It takes what it knows about you and turns it
44:56
Speaker 2: into almost a caricature of who you are.
45:00
Speaker 3: So ask it to roast you.
45:01
Speaker 2: At some point you did ask it to roast me.
45:03
Speaker 4: It came up some good It came.
45:05
Speaker 3: Up with some good stuff for your for your But
45:07
Speaker 3: this was chatt.
45:09
Speaker 2: We don't have time for that, though, do we the
45:12
Speaker 2: roast of Lucas.
45:12
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I've got.
45:14
Speaker 2: I'll do.
45:14
Speaker 3: Let me see if I can find one.
45:17
Speaker 2: In the meantime, Amber, here's another thing, which apparently you said.
45:21
Speaker 2: Do you remember saying this. Urban pigeons are basically Parisian teenagers.
45:26
Speaker 2: They strut, they don't care, and then they will steal
45:29
Speaker 2: your chips.
45:30
Speaker 4: Definitely not No, you'd never say fond of a pigeon,
45:33
Speaker 4: not fond of a teenager.
45:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, you never said that, of course I didn't. Here's
45:38
Speaker 2: another one for Paul. So I don't understand why jumpers
45:46
Speaker 2: have so many names. Sweater pull over. Just call it
45:49
Speaker 2: a warm thing and move on.
45:52
Speaker 3: I mean, it sounds like the kind of anger that
45:54
Speaker 3: I would that I would use.
45:55
Speaker 4: In common joke set up kind of struct chat.
45:58
Speaker 2: The rule is the rule of three in there almost right, Okay,
46:02
Speaker 2: I've just got so just to just introduce this, what
46:05
Speaker 2: did you ask chat Chee.
46:06
Speaker 3: I asked chat ChiPT, I said, roast podcaster Luke Thompson.
46:10
Speaker 2: So roasting someone is basically where you make jokes about someone,
46:13
Speaker 2: which is sort of insulting and means the roast of
46:16
Speaker 2: Luke Thompson by chat GPT.
46:18
Speaker 3: I guess, oh, you want me to roast Luke Thompson
46:20
Speaker 3: from Luke's English podcast. All right, here we go.
46:23
Speaker 2: I like the way it knew which Luke Thompson this is.
46:26
Speaker 2: See chat GPT's a step above anyway, he did think
46:30
Speaker 2: you were Japanese rugby player.
46:33
Speaker 3: Luke two, three, four, It's come up with five and
46:36
Speaker 3: then and then it's like, do you want me to
46:38
Speaker 3: push this roast into savage mode or keep it friendly banter.
46:40
Speaker 3: I'll just read the five. Luke sounds like the kind
46:43
Speaker 3: of teacher who tells you this will be fun right
46:46
Speaker 3: before making you suffer through forty five minutes of phrasal verbs.
46:51
Speaker 3: Fair okay. He has the energy of a stand up
46:54
Speaker 3: comedian if the comedy club were in the library and
46:56
Speaker 3: everyone was only there to practice their listening skills.
47:00
Speaker 4: A bit harsh, But it's not bad.
47:03
Speaker 3: Okay, half of him, it's not accurate.
47:09
Speaker 4: It's not it's mean.
47:10
Speaker 3: Like half his podcast is English lessons. The other half
47:15
Speaker 3: is him laughing at his own jokes. It's basically Dad
47:19
Speaker 3: Humor the audio series. His episodes are so long that
47:31
Speaker 3: you don't learn English, you age in English.
47:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, but by.
47:36
Speaker 3: The time you've finished one, you've gone from beginner to pension.
47:40
Speaker 3: It's actually quite pretty good. It's not bad. He brags
47:44
Speaker 3: about being both a teacher and a comedian, which is
47:46
Speaker 3: just a polite way of saying, my students are forced
47:49
Speaker 3: to laugh at me. Yes, that was less fun. That
47:53
Speaker 3: was good at roasting.
47:55
Speaker 2: It's not bad. It's but Microsoft Cope doesn't have a
48:00
Speaker 2: clue about what we've actually said. There's loads of these,
48:03
Speaker 2: There's just loads of them, and they're all wrong?
48:05
Speaker 4: Do they because you don't put a transcript out, do you?
48:08
Speaker 4: Sometimes I do think it doesn't really have access to
48:10
Speaker 4: what we say. It can't listen to the podcast.
48:12
Speaker 2: Often on my website. I'll do a little summary of
48:15
Speaker 2: the main points that were made or.
48:16
Speaker 4: Some other notes making it up.
48:18
Speaker 2: So it's kind of it scraped my website and other things,
48:21
Speaker 2: and it's it's Microsoft Copilot has just slammed all that
48:25
Speaker 2: together and added a lot of creative license.
48:29
Speaker 4: It is this thing which I was just learning about,
48:30
Speaker 4: which is called AI inbreeding, right, and of course it's
48:36
Speaker 4: that sense of like baking in like it makes mistakes
48:38
Speaker 4: and then it puts it into its own database and
48:40
Speaker 4: it's like this is fact, and then it just gets
48:42
Speaker 4: like worse and worse and worse and worse, and someone's
48:44
Speaker 4: describing it like the Habsburgs. You know, AI is going
48:46
Speaker 4: to end up like the Habsburgs, which are these this
48:49
Speaker 4: royal family and they were so inbred that they became
48:52
Speaker 4: really sort of deformed, with giant chins and noses, you know,
48:56
Speaker 4: just sort of awful because you know, of course they're
48:58
Speaker 4: keeping the blood lamp pure. But is absolutely sort of so,
49:02
Speaker 4: is that the future for AI or our tech go
49:04
Speaker 4: to men?
49:05
Speaker 3: No, I think it'll I think I think it will
49:07
Speaker 3: end up not being that, but I think, yeah, I
49:09
Speaker 3: think it's it's like, right now, we're having fun with
49:12
Speaker 3: it and stuff, But I don't know. It's difficult. It's
49:14
Speaker 3: difficult to it can go. I think it can go
49:16
Speaker 3: a bunch of different ways. I just I don't know
49:18
Speaker 3: who and how we manage it, Like who do we
49:23
Speaker 3: choose to put in charge of it, because we've got
49:25
Speaker 3: to It's like being a president of a country. You've
49:28
Speaker 3: got to choose someone to head it all up. And
49:30
Speaker 3: if they've got good intentions, it might end up well,
49:32
Speaker 3: and they don't, then it might So I don't know.
49:34
Speaker 3: I think it's or it'll just figure out a way
49:37
Speaker 3: of sorting itself out and then I don't know. It
49:40
Speaker 3: just yeah, I don't know. I've got no idea. I
49:43
Speaker 3: don't know, but I do have to go you unfortunately.
49:47
Speaker 2: Well we can wrap this up now. But I think
49:49
Speaker 2: that was an interesting combination of different things there in
49:53
Speaker 2: the episode. Yeah, don't you agree.
49:55
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
49:55
Speaker 3: I think what will mean for us though, is that
49:57
Speaker 3: you have a feeling that AI. Yeah, I think that
49:59
Speaker 3: that the impact on us specifically and what we do
50:02
Speaker 3: as jobs, it will make us more valuable than we
50:06
Speaker 3: because I think AI will have the potential of taking
50:09
Speaker 3: a lot of people's jobs away, Like any lawyer that
50:13
Speaker 3: we know or like they I've I've had CHATCHPT like
50:19
Speaker 3: read through my contracts and it comes up with some
50:21
Speaker 3: pretty solid like advice and stuff like that. I'm like,
50:24
Speaker 3: oh god, like what does that job look like in
50:26
Speaker 3: ten years?
50:26
Speaker 1: You know?
50:27
Speaker 3: But I think people will come to humans more than
50:30
Speaker 3: you know, Like they will come on a personalized tour
50:32
Speaker 3: with you. They will listen to you because they know
50:34
Speaker 3: you're an authentic voice. Because you could you can easily
50:36
Speaker 3: make a podcast with you.
50:37
Speaker 4: All those AI podcasts are so awful, though, have you
50:39
Speaker 4: listened to every Oh my gosh, they're so bad.
50:43
Speaker 2: Going on about these for ages. Really everyone's catching up
50:47
Speaker 2: with me finally and hearing them.
50:49
Speaker 3: They're terrible, but they will get better come to you
50:53
Speaker 3: for because they know your voice is an authentic voice
50:56
Speaker 3: and whatever. And you know, stand up is a in
50:59
Speaker 3: person music. Music's like out of the arts. It seems
51:03
Speaker 3: like music is one of the closest at risk that
51:05
Speaker 3: you can make music with AI. But there will go
51:08
Speaker 3: and see the artists in real life more than maybe
51:11
Speaker 3: they do now because they want that person in person.
51:13
Speaker 2: In a way, it will elevate what humans do, you know,
51:18
Speaker 2: what the things that AI can't do that humans can
51:21
Speaker 2: do that will become elevated and much more valuable. But
51:24
Speaker 2: I think in the meantime it will steal. It will
51:26
Speaker 2: still steal a lot, Like you.
51:28
Speaker 4: Know accountants, those kind of accurate, kind of grunt tasks,
51:33
Speaker 4: which accountancy is like both complex and boring. AI just
51:37
Speaker 4: lives for that. You know. That's why AI is really good,
51:40
Speaker 4: and that is that could be liberating.
51:43
Speaker 3: No need, yeah, because then you can maybe because no
51:45
Speaker 3: one I don't feel like an accountant see is like
51:49
Speaker 3: a dream Like no one, I don't think you grow
51:51
Speaker 3: up when you're a kid and you go, oh, i'd
51:52
Speaker 3: like to. You kind of fall into it through your
51:54
Speaker 3: studies and through all the other stuff, and maybe those
51:57
Speaker 3: people will eventually have the time.
51:58
Speaker 4: To Also, not everyone can afford an accountant, and so
52:01
Speaker 4: they end up in rather complex situations, whereas this will help. Yeah, exactly,
52:06
Speaker 4: this will help people. And then when you do see
52:08
Speaker 4: an accountant, it's much more for more expert advice maybe
52:11
Speaker 4: about dealing with different things or money. Do you know
52:14
Speaker 4: it's not going to be just like crunching numbers and
52:16
Speaker 4: making you know, you can do that with AI.
52:18
Speaker 3: Exactly.
52:18
Speaker 4: Yes, we've got Sorry, I have.
52:20
Speaker 3: To go to you guys can keep chating, but I
52:23
Speaker 3: have to go on a mission, a call that will
52:26
Speaker 3: determine my future, okay of what I do in terms
52:29
Speaker 3: of shows.
52:30
Speaker 2: All right, well, you've got all your stuff together, so
52:33
Speaker 2: we might as well just wrap up.
52:34
Speaker 3: I mean, my stuff is this, I can put that on,
52:37
Speaker 3: put my shoes on, and bugger off.
52:39
Speaker 2: All right, Oh what's that?
52:41
Speaker 3: I don't know. There was a noise.
52:43
Speaker 2: Things are going, things are happening. I feel like the
52:46
Speaker 2: Internet is telling me that we should probably just stop
52:48
Speaker 2: recording at this point. Thank you very much listeners for listening.
