Wh's playing whom shirts versus skins, I don't know You really literally not know. You've got a ticket, Ellen. Well, my friend Carlos has like a season ticket and I'm going with him It's the women's League everyone's very excitited. It's first time Vancouver hass had like a proper women's team and apparently the vibes are excellent How brillant That's what I'm going for. Vibes and bonies Iice shoveveling Can I just do a real life bit of feedback as well? Yes, please. Shout out Simon, the Geral manager at Granger and Cohen St. Pancras I went in there yesterday for breakfast with our mutual friend Tommy. And as I open the door, and I cannot emphasise how rarely this happens, listeners, Basically never. He said, with a look of impressed like bewilderment Oh, are you Oly man? And I said, Yes. And he said, I've listened to Answ me this since I was. And then he sort of gestured down to the ground as if to intimate a very diminutive child. Oh my God. I didn't quite know what to say because I wasn't expecting to be recognized as I went for breakfast. so I said to him, doeses that mean I get a free glass of champagne? Wow, Always be Hustlin He laughed awkwardly but then did comp the coffees, which was much appreciated Did you recognize Tommy from our Bob Dulllan Jingles and episode one hundred I had the thrill of being able to sate him after our meal and he'd c the coffees Simon, this pink haired software designer sitting with me, He is the voice of Bob Dylan in our jingles and is one of the Brone sisters. Was Tommy impressed or was it embarrassing to be sllebspotted with a friend in tow I think he was impressed. It doesn't happen him much in his software engineer career Here is some feedback from Pete from Bloomington, Indiana, who says In episode three hundred five, which I think puts out late twenty fourteen, Kyle from Bloomington, Indiana, wrote in about tasting brackets, eating Olives from his supermarket olive bar, and wondering if he was stealing. Yes, I remember that's classic wandry I can't remember what we said, C you We spun ten delectable minutes out of it, Helen, as we debated the pros and cons. I think I would have said that stealing a few is okay, but obviously not by the letter of the law, and that's basically where we stand, isn't it? That's a very oly man type of response to this question. Will it stand up in court? No, does everyone do it? Yes. Has Ollie Man ever been apprehended for stealing the big orange juice at Prep while paying for a little one Not yet. Well, not yet, although I tried to get a full orange juiceit prep the other day. they don't do them anymore. Because of you, you took them all. They only make the half bottles and charge everybody for what used to be the full bottle prize. They took the tip from Olly Man. Yeah Exactly Table turned. Okay, well, Pete says I live in Bloomington and worked in a supermarket at the time and was the one who selected and purchased the actual olive bar fixture installed in the store. Touch him, he's real. Wow. My aunt had a friend when I was a kid who was the wine taster for waitroros. Wow. And like I remember grown ups around the Passover table all expressing sort of interest in her job but me thinking, well so what not interested because't drink wine This is like My vibe. Oh yeah, Olive Bar Commissioner a bazillion percent Pete, if you want to write in and tell us more all about the olive bar business, both of us would be enraptured. How do you select between like Walnut veneer, stainless steel interior? Pete says, I've wondered about Kyle lately, as the local olive bar popularity has all but dried up Ollie, answer me this Is Kyle still in Bloomington tasting and stealing food at the supermarkets? What does he think about the decline in popularity of the olive bars Are olive bars still popular in your area of the UK? Okay, I'm glad there was a more domestic question at the end because I feel like the first two questions aren't really in our purview. This is answer us back, not Dork, all of your question is perpetuity. Kyle, do get in touch about your olive crime spree, please. I mean, I can tell you, Pete that Kyle, as far as we can see, using the original email address with which he wrote to us to confess his olive bar theft, has not written to us since. He's in supermarket jail. So It's going be a long old term, isn't it? It's going to be at least another ten years ago is that? But I can answer that here in the UK, yes, I have actually observed that olive bars have somewhat declined from their peak. Is that COVID ? You know, I think it might be, but also because of the rising level of immigration and more kind of like cross cultural grocery stores across our cities. I do think as well that like, you know, once the Turkish olive game arrives on your high street You don't want the Sainsbury Sololive game Do you know what I mean They've just got so many good olives. and I feel more icky about stealing from those family businesses as I do from a supermarket. So I feel again that the Olive Bar theft has probably declined in tandem God, I wish I was surrounded by olive bars. but the last. Is there not one, not one, not even at a farmmer's market where they over chararge Well, I mean, all food is like farers market prices, even if it is a budget supermarket here. There are a couple of olive bars, but one of them I found quite disappointing because all of the olives are way oversalted and they all kind of taste the same even though there'sort twelve different kinds. That is the risk when they're aerrated. I have no. And that is genuinely why it's useful to try each one and see how It being exposed to pickle slash air has affected its flavor. And say, okay, you're making a case for your crimes What has actually of more widely proliferated via the high street chains here as far as I can see, is like ready to eat Spanish Pinchos, do you say? Pinchos pinch. Pinos. Yeah. Yeah L like the ones on the sticks. Yeah. Gildas they're sometimes called also. Yes, Yes. like cheese rolitos and ham and then anchovy or whatever. What a great game for someone to be like, okay, I'm just gonna to put this cheese and anchovy on a stick and then I can charge seven quid for it Again, I find the vacuum pack ness of them does something strange to the olive. like it doesn't have contacts with any liquid, and so it's just been in air for two weeks and It tastes a bit too much to me of the pork and the salt and less of the olive Yeah, disappointing I want to taste that olive. That's all I want in life. Yeah, I agree. I guess they're designed for like party food, aren't they? They're picky bits. They're at picnics So you're probably only supposed to have one, whereas I have all three and then I feel like I can feel my heart quicken Have you ever put one of those in a martini No, but I'm almost empty to just like mike drop now walk off and try it because. sounds great That sounds fucking great. Pints is just a regional term in Northern Spain for. small bite to eat. It's not even a specific thing. Like you go to Donostia and like it's pinchos in the bars early evening So it's sort of like if they'd taken word tapas and just applied it to Patatas Bravis or something. Yeah. But Marx and Spencer are very clever at creating their whole new product categories for UK paallets based around international ideas, aren't they? Its they donduja Burrata And I was watching one of those like puff pieces for Marks and Sencer Christmas time that they put on which is just a big advert for their range of food, but it is strangely compelling as like people spend like half a year planning a mince pie. And they were talking about how well they showed you like the the lady who went to Italy to source the barrata And like all of the dairy farmers in Italy, I know Italy is very conservative about, you know, the way food should be, and maybe not. Yeah, they're not gonna to cook a burrata They were like, you want to do what? say you can see on their faces, they were torn between taking the meeting with the massive UK grorossing company and at the same time being like, you're not cooking my fucking burrata mate. Not in Nndujo. what's wrong with you You know, it's a whole new product category that works here, and I guess British people just don't care that it's not authentic. Or that it's not even right. Like you could do that with shit burrata. Why would you use the good stuff? Well, again, Markx and Spencer, because they want to put on their labels, don't they? madeade with Italian burrata. Yeah, it's a waste of burrata, But I bet it tastes good. I bet that's the thing. Yeah, but you could smear and Dj' on a rubber glove and it would taste good Here's an email from Emma in Canada who says, In answ mee this four hundred and two, so a more recent example But still long enough ago that I can't fucking remember. Let her email remind you, Helen. Okay, great You joked about what would happen if a wedding proposal written as a dedication in a book were to be missed by the intended recipient. No joke at all. And I just wanted to share But that basically happened to my parents. Wow. My dad was a columnist for a local tabloid and wrote a column Hosing to my mum. A You're being all sweetness and like now, Helen. you didn't have this great approval of people who practice this in the episode, I recall. OkayK, like I said, I've forgotten the episode so I can be a completely different person now. The night before the publishing date, she says, he got home very late. he had to wait for the press to print an edition. He left the paper open to the right page at her spot on the table. to bed. Mhhm picture the scene you can imagine how excited he was to get downstairs and find out the answer to his proposal. ion I wonder how he slept. In the morning. He discovered that she had tossed the paper aside without even looking at it. That's what local papers are for. Yeah Probably had some cat litter to clear up She didn't like the tabloid, and she was probably still frustrated at him for how late he'd gotten home the night before So he had to do a song and dance together to look at it without spoiling it, which took a while. But she did say yes and their wedding cake was made to look like a newspaper. I can relate to this hard, obviously because I have a similar thing. If I wanted to communicate a message to my wife, The one place I would not do it is in a podcast. because She has absolutely no interest in my audio work at all. No. I would have to put a post it note on the fridge. did she propose to you with a note on the mayonnaise jar? We just had a really like pragmatic and practical conversation. We like we should probably get married. It was really underwhelming in that sense. Beautiful Yeah, I didn't find it unbeautiful because neither of us were bothered. Yeah. But this I do think is kind of not I mean, what I think is actually important is the graphic design here. So Emma has actually sent us a screen grab of the Toronto suunn from Friday, june sixteenth, nineteen eighty nine. Thank you so much, Emma, for your service. I'm enjoying this so much. And the headline of the column and what's important, I think, is that the typeface is about three times the size of his author's byline. Yeah. The headline is Dear Dabby, Comma, let's get married That is quite a nice souvenir to keep. if the sub editor had called the column something else. All about your dad And if your dad's photo had been bigger on it, it would look a bit narcistic, wouldn't it But as it is, it looks quite romantic, I think, and it's amazing how that might not have even been his choice. Well, I was wondering whether they needed the headline to be big to fill space because he hadn't quite reached the word count It's quite romantic, I think. It starts, It's raining outside and a soft grreay mist is drifting down over the city. But here in the newsroom, my mouth is as dry as a Methodist prayer meeting Be he's nervous about the proposal. Quite wisely, the subeditor has added tabloid style sort breaking markers of the text as you get down So gets just above Marry me comma Debbie They've put a subheading, Here it comes, readers So you know where to look Yeah It's nice to have a story I suppose you've just got to be careful like I was kind of suggesting that the The partner is on board with the story being all about Wh. You know, you did this thing, this was your proposal whereas like some particularly some brides would feel like the focus would be more on them I think that it's nice that we have a man Tking about emotions, talking about being teary and nervous because of love I'm happy to see that in public I live for the tears of Siset men So Good for you, Emma's dad Did your parents have a fun proposal story, Helen? Well, Well, according to my mother, they got engaged whilst having an argument. So I suppose it depends if you think that's fun. It's funny. Yeah, I guess so. I don't know what the argument was about I think my dad's Reasoning was like, if we get married, we can do this all the time Oh But he didn't go outside and like Chisel, I love you into a sports fagarine He wasn't a sculptor, then he had a real job. How did he? That was a shift after they got married. You know, an exciting surprise for my mother Remind me what he was doing back then? Oh, he was a management consultant. He had a sports car. I think he was quite flash. Okay, God dear, she got sold a up. Absolutely. Yeah. she had a child and then when the second child's on the way, he's out and given all that up to be a sculptor Ouch I once tried to use the university newspaper to convey My feelings of regret that I hadn't acted on an amorous invitation in the past. Did you How do I not remember this You you wouldn't have because I never spoke about it. There was a lady who sort of made a move on me in year one. And I just I couldn't deal with it because I did actually really fancyir. I was nineteen and I was like, I don't have to cope with this person who I actually like liking me. So she even said like, is there something you want to say to me? I think she said I was like, noope, no, definitely not change the subject, be funny. And then in my third year, you know I think someone was writing an article about like what levers regret. And so I thought, okay, well this is a way of saying to her through code that I regret that moment because she had another boyfriend at that. Two years late You were two years late. Oh God. And I didn't it's not like I wanted her to split with her boyfriend. but I also I thought I'm never going to be able to bring this up there. But if I in code suggests that that happens, then she might read it and think, o, okay, he did like me. damn God, didid it feel at little cathartic to have put it out there? Yes.ood. Yes, it did a bit. Yeah useful And it makes me think about this as well. like if Debbie had said no, I mean, this is the reason why we were saying about big public proposals It puts pressure, doesn't it on the person you're proposing to say yes and maybe that's not fair. And then what if they say no If Debbie had said no, would Emma's dad have felt that it was worth doing to get off his chest anyway Yes, probablyably. I mean's big public embarrassment but that's useful a useful milestone in a man's life as well. Maybe. I don't think doing it via the newspaper is that embarrassing because it gives the recipient time to consider It's less on the spot than if you like Where was I wereere you there as well at Green Man Festival where someone made the band stop playing on the main stage so he could propose And it was tremendously awkward. But you're kind of stuck with making a stressed response if that's you. being proposed Whas the newspaper, I think is a bit more of a generous plan Particularly these days because a local paper, I mean, that'd be a weekly publicot a week to think about it. Yeah. Well God knows when the print deadline is could be like three weeks. Yeah M might be like Esquire, they just seem like an autumn winter edition. Yeah have to wait six months for the answer you hear that Sounds like breakfast is ready Because Quakers coming in hot with morning nutrition one hundred percent whole grain oats and a good source of fiber Fuel the rhythm of your morning and kickstart your day That sounds absolutely delicious. Fuel to start whatever's next. Quaker, offfficial sponsor of FIFA World Cup twenty six. Here's a message from David from Glasgow who says I'm a few episodes behind, so apologies for the delayed message. Don't apologise, David. This is the bread and butter of what we're doing here. Yeah, exactly. We've had feedback from an episode from eleven and a half years ago, so you're doing fine David says I really enjoyed your discussion about the PIips on BBC radio. Oh yes. Episode four hundred six is when we talked about the Pips He says, I work on a cargo ship And we use the pIs to calibrate our chronometers I should have looked up what a chronometer does because I just realized I am ignorant. I mean, the name suggests something to do with time in and of itself, doesn't it? It does, it does, yes, the measurement of time The measurement of time things. Yes. David says, we tune in to BBC radio four on one hundred and ninety eight kilohertz for the time signal. If we're out of range, we switch to the ten thousand kilohertz time signal station instead We then fill in our chronometer log to record how many seconds out our chronometer is. This accurate clock, i. e. the pIips, might be all we have to calculate our position and see if our GPS is ever jammed, spoofed, or broken So it remains an essential daily check even today. Wow. greatreat. It's nice to hear a listener's got a proper job isn't it? Yeah, what's that like, David? Working on a cargo ship. I did kind of half think that you guys all had posh watches like the ones James Cameron wears in his submersibles. Is that because he needs a special watch that he can wear in the pressure of the deep sea? I think it's 'cause he was flattered to be the sppokes face for Rolex. Oh yeah. But it's interesting to hear you say that if you haven't got Ph watchatches that you are using long wave radio because Like in the UK, I think we probably talked about this in the episode, on DAB, what is the point of the PIips? Because if you can receive a legible digital signal, then you can also see the accurate time on your digital radio display If you're on a ship and you don't have DAB signal and you're relyant on long wave, then that would be the only way you'd be able to know there's no visual version of knowing what time it is. Right. So some things haven't really changed That functionality? Yeah, exactly. When he says, Oh if our GPS is ever jammed spoofed or broken, that's terrifying, isn't it? The idea of what life was like before Google Maps The worst fear for you was P Satnav. Honestly, I would, I mean, I'm dyspractic for listeners who don't know If GPS went down, I would just be in the center of London going round and round in concentric circles like I was in a video game. Or like you were in a National lampoons European vacation That would be the biggest event for You know when people say o, I'd pay for Facebook if they didn't have ads or I'd p for this or that Google Map isays honestly. I'd pay Easy four hundred pounds a year for Google Maps. If there was no other SatN app available. Do doesn't matter what I ear, four hundred pounds have it They're leaving money on the table. just to take my data. What's more valuable? cash or your data. I mean, my data to me, is worth less than the cash. Actually, our search histories are so putrid because of this show that maybe our data is quite exciting People who like Alternative cremation methods alsoso like grapefruit juice. No Two random questions you were asked. Well, Amy has written in to say, I just listened to my first ever answer me this as I am newish to the podcast world. Welcome, welcome. Welcome. ye. In episode four hundred two, Ollie spoke about drinking a daily Benicol drink, but despairing of the plastic use. Oh yeah. You can take plant sterols, the active ingredient in Benol as a capsule to help control cholesterol. Good thoughts, Amy Yeah, make your own Benacle. I was saying, why doesn't it come in like Lge bottles Yeah. I don't mind having one plastic bottle a week. What object is the fact that it's in shots and you have to get through seven a week Yeah, so you could just make your own Just buy a yogghurt and stick some capsules in it. Yeah, or just glug down the capsule neat and then eat something else. I've looked into this though since this email and there is apparently less evidence for the effectiveness of the supplements. Oh really? Comared to food that contains senols and sterols. Is that because Benacol has paid for studies to show that Beneol does something I think basically yes. Okay. The food industry understandably wants academic backing for its claims that it can lower because it can. All that stuff flora proactiveivisuff can lower your cholesterol But they need studies to show that. So they've poured money into that as marketing. So yeah, exactly. they could just be fewer studies for the people who make the cholesterol capsules, but that doesn't mean they're less effective. You've always got to look at who paid for the studies Exactly ye So according to the Association of UK Dietitians, in general, studies show that stanol or sterol supplements taken with meals can reduce cholesterol to similar levels as Benacle. So yeah, maybe I should consider it. You could try it You could conduct a one person study, which wouldn't be scientifically valid, but I mean the problem is if I have an enormous heart attack at forty six, there's no counter example is there? We don't know what would have happened if I had tried the other thing. It can only compare me to the market. Then your family could sue Amy. That sounds fair. And then Amy could sue podcasts for getting her into this mess I also would have to be careful because some of the supplements have niacin in which is a trigger for gout. Oh damn. So good for lowing cholesterol, but I could end up with a swollen foot because I am. out' susceptible to gout. Yeahah. Damn it. So a swollen foot, in pain, not even the blessed relief of a heart attack to provide a distraction. Oh God Hm. Interesting, it's not really a thing in the USA, Beneol. Really? that surprises me Yeah, so it is available. I think Johnson and Johnson have the rights for it It's not in every mainstream supermarket like it is here and I know this because I was in Florida this time last year And I went to the biggest Walmart I've ever seen You can imagine the Walmart in Orlando. And I just assumed that of course, they'll have Beneal because they have like you get all the British stuff you could get in there. You could get your baked beans and your eata pigs or whatever. They've had everything from all over the world But they didn't have Bennicle. And I tried to explain to the cler what I was looking for and obviously, he was super helpful. But after about five minutes of trying to explain what Benicicalle was he was like,, It's a yogurt. doesn' I can't explain what this is if you don't know what I' trying to explain. It's got a plant sterile in it and it's a shot. And you have it every day, but it's a yogurt He just looked at me like I was completely, you know, off the planet. I suspect in like New York City and stuff, it's probably bigger. but like in regional supermarkets, it's not as widespread as it is here and I don't know why that is. I feel like we're gonna get another message from someone in Bloomington, Indiana talking about how Bennacle is available there. Sure, try our Bennacle bar We dip our olives in it. Yeah, can you get savourory Beneole withith like cheese and olives in? For the real high cholesterol victim, the cheese flavoured Benacole We know what you like. Yeah. A change in tone now for our final email, this episode, Helen. Okay. This is like it's a bit of a weeep, this email that I'm about to read is, you know in the vibe of an ar tune with Simon Bates. It comes from listener Ricardito, who says Hellen Noolly You drop your podcast onto the world. You rarely find out the effect it has on people I want to share my story with you. Thank you very much unless it's a bad story where we ruined your life in which case, sorry in advance. No, it's a mostly good story, but it's a bit sad I met my partner, Stephven fifteen years ago. He was a hardcore AMT fan. Wow. He quickly got me hooked We bought each other AMT Merch for Christmas gifts. Oh my Godd. Finally, we know who was propping up the AMT Merch store Actually, fun fact, we have not been paid for those badges since two thousand nine. I believe the company went bust. Oh So if you are UK based and you want to help us refresh our merch offering, please do. It's something I need to get around to at some point this year. G. Ricardito continues I sent in questions without telling Stephven, so he'd get a surprise when you answered them. cute. The most memorable one was when I had changed the names of the characters in fifty Shades of Grey to those of my elderly parents and put it on my mum's gindor That iss memorable Ricti. I'd forgotten it, but what a wonderful fresh amusement for me Nicely reminded of. That's upsetting Be Jius. Stephven and I embrace the Helen and Oolly universe. he says, Stehven took me to an illusionist live show. Hey, I hope it was okay This is where it takes a turn Stehven died two years ago. Oh, fuck, I'm sorry. It wasn't the illusionist live show that killed him, was it? He leaves that blank. Okay. Those who loved him are left bereft but our lives go on Now you have rebooted AMT. I listen with so much fondness If a little dewy eye. Yeah, I'm sorry, Stephven. wasasn't here for the reboot. Yeah. I'm sorry for other reasons that Stehven's not here. This sounds shit, Ricardito, and I'm sorry. You've answered a couple of my questions in the new season, Ricardito says. Yeah, you've sent us a lot of good questions, Ricardito. Stehven would have got a kick out of hearing them like he always did As listeners, we've been through your life events. birth, marriage, bereavements. You weren't there when I was born I'm pretty sure. I think my mum would have mentioned. My dad wasn't even there. I just wr to tell you that you have been with me through my life events too. I thank you for the little extra bonds you gave to Stephen and to me. and for the enjoyment Please keep on doing what you do as long as it's rewarding for you It means a lot to your listeners. That's incredible. Thank you so much. Good sign off as well, with loveve, Rickarddy Tone Brighton, Brackets and Stehven, probably in the fiery place Well, a nice pub with an open fire with a labrador asleep by it. Ricardito, really sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for sharing it with us U You're right, we do. We do talk into the Eether. I mean, this show is a bit different to others because it's an interactive show. so we actually have more of a sense of our listeners' lives and that we arere sharing our lives with you, but still You know, you don't have much aspiration for this stuff Do you really beyond being I'd like to be someone's favourite podcast and I'd like to be able to pay the bills with it. But T to be the in joke in someone's relationship over decades. That's gorgeous. And now remembered now they're dead. I mean, it's really genuinely humbling Honestly, I'm not exaggerating this is the kind of thing that keeps us going. Yeah, totally. Even when our massive income from the badges has dried up No you're right, There are a lot of podcasts in the world right now. Sure. But this is the bit can't you can't fake authenticity, as they say, right? Everyone else is trying Actually, we you know have been having a conversation with all of you for so long now, as I was saying at the beginning with them in the manager at the coffee shop. yeah, you really feel that deep deep integration and it's yeah, thank you. Thankk you for sharing that with us. Yeah. It's sort of sobering as well because we hear from people when they're like, I was listening to your podcast when I was giving birth and that child's now twelve or we hear from people who've been listening to the podcast since they were pre teeenens and now they're like thirty But yeah, yeah hearing about the end of life and beyond is, you know, another spin on how we are in people's lives If you have sincere feedback on anything we've discussed in the last nineteen years. or non sincere feedback's fine, we can take it. Yeah, flipping and glib feedback, really helpful for the top. And I do really want to hear from Kyle, who at some point lived in Bloomington, Indiana and took some olives. Reach out via the usual channels, our email address, our phone number, send us a voice memo And if you want to catch up with the whole history of Answery this, if this has inspired you to look back through the back catalog and see if there's an unresolved issue that you'd like to pick us up on fifteen years later. So many. There are two ways to do that. You can buy the back catalog at answermethiststore. com or you can sign up at Patreon at patreon. com slash answer me this and get it ad free. On the podcast app you're using to listen to this and I think we'll all agree that's better. It's cheaper and more convenient. Sure. I mean, the thing is the show hass been going so long that you had to build a special system so that we could sell the back catalogue And then eventually technology creaked into action and provided other options. We're also going to be doing petty problems as well on Sunday, the twenty ninth of march. That's right. Yes, our video live stream for answering thiss Patreons and it's really fun because the people who attend the stream can help pitch in on other people's light hearted problems. And it's a jolly hang. Indeed. So if you fancy hanging jolly with us Sunday twenty ninth of March, and if you have a petty problem, send it in now for us to answer. Yes.
