Why would you not put another egg in or even better f than what you've had wouldould just be eating some pesto Tust spoons of pesto in Ruse my proble the moment, right Monster fucked around with a ring ple Yeah, that's the problem. And they got this pushher own thing and I can't work out. there's the airhole I'm sort of I can't look at where the liquid's coming from. So can't that's a problem in a way. You make such as a joke at a service station, I bought a book about making better choices yesterday. No I'm going to send it to you, Mike. We can't witking out pissing up let'or R. So your choices are Crazy No, I just not, I'm not I'm not drinking the poached egg water would have been better for you than what you're doing.

Are they done so that you can reseal them? Is that the idea? Oh like the ph s's a vain attempt to show that it's not a one serving thing. They've done a steve jobs and they've done it in their own way. But the thing look, I'm just to tilt this for a minute. No, I can't see it all I can see is your phone. I'll tilt this o. o, here we go. this is nice. insside the the bubins. Oh, okay, no I' not. C look at how it is I on a space ring pull. Yeah demonstr.' got to pull that off. Does that come off? Just get a can opener. Get it in open up Open it up. I have a smile light. sticker on the top. Oh, o. A It's got a sticker on it. I got it.' We're re. I was the training co with Sam Wburton. I mind drinking it. I see a lot of his Instagram videos and I haven't, you know he does little hacks for people who are busy. So one of his ones that I sometimes will do is if I've been to the gym and then I'm driving home, I'll have a bag of mini baby bells because it's probably got better protein than having you know, a protein shake or something like that. It's doable. And you get a c of monster Yeah No calories. Zero calories? big caffeine hit Massive plenty of liquid. you know, four hundred bils of li. Y. handandful of KP peanuts salt salt in the salt. You're gonna be dehydrated as fun by the salt bit of protein, a bit of nut oils. Yeah, bit of water. Yeah, bit caffeine. some good fats Perfect. Emphasis on the word su. Well essentally I clicked the other day saying that 'cause I got big thighs, I'm probably gonna to live forever anyway. You did send I'm going to call a scientist onto a everyvery system sayinging that if you have big thighs, you're going to live forever was what I took from the video. Yeah. Not bigat But then you facetiously seent a big fat blow a fat blos G It means big muscular thighs, which I have. Yeah. You do muscle If if you've got a lot of muscle, then you deal with insulin much better. you You know, you keep your heart healthier And in all sorts of studies now, Figh size because this is where your biggest muscles are. is a real indicator of longevity Yeah. Big muscy thighs means you're gonna live for longer. unless obviously unless you take a load of steroids. Oh ye, or monster and peanuts. I imagine that would trade it off in the same way It think it will Okay free. In a way we could use you as a test. Yeah I sorry, you told were your dad any when you Yeah going back to the point. it's just it's just it's just an extremely B Bin's book because this was a guy a normal bloke who had a big idea and he acted upon it. And it's just we'll talk about that later that. I'm much more likely to M and Steph and then I would think, I don't know if that's really possible because I think you think, Oh no fuck it, we'll give that a go. And if there are any problems, will I in them out to We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. That genuinely is my entire approach to life. Yes and has been since I can remember, and I don't know I don't think it's done me badly. I don't think it's done you badly. No I don't think it' done badly. I don't I don't think it would do anyone badly because you've got to think I don't think failure is an issue Yeah. We're talking about this in the book review, but I mean Look, I've messed up and I've been embarrassed, but ultimately no one's died. Exactly, mate And I think you get to it, you know, not everyone can. I know some people who are absolutely crippled by embarrassment. something quite marisable I sure she won the book What am we saying that? Yeah, even something quite small happens to them.ike a friend of mine, I remember once he dropped he dropped a lotad of tints of soup on the streets because his deskco bag tore. Yeah. and he was be embarrassed by that? Yeah For hours. And hours and hours were as ultimately, you know, no one knew well, actually he was in command and so people didn't know him W He'll stay with you The people that try to embarrass me are usually for a bit of a bit of a surprise. Yeah, those people are The people who genuinely don't get embarrassed, it's like a superpower I mean, I'm too embarrassed to wear fancy dress in but in I jking about act to me being a piece of pap. So we had the first mammoth read through two days ago, three days ago And if I say so myself, a room full of actors who just said aren't working at all Well, no, I I mean you're saying' I think it's just it's an interesting approach, that's whole. Why findine acting such a piece of piss? is some people would be embarrassed about a funny voice or speaking out or pretending to be somebody else in a room full of people they didn't know Yeah Yeah. it wouldn't bother me in the slest Well it doesn't bother me in the slowest. No So I don't think that means acting as piece pap but. I saw something thing the other day with Leo DiCaprion. it was that Wolf of Wall Street. It was like it was like a behind the scenes shot of her. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. I've seen. He's got a camera right there. He does a walking shot through the office. He's got the hand out ready to shake just you got gets into this. Yeah That work right? It's a really good piece. Yeah. It's a really good piece and it just shows him switch on nine hundred ninety nine people out of the thousand would be too embarrassed to do that Yeah. So a big part of acting is not get embarrassed by. Do You know what's interesting though 've probably said this before But I think a lot of people would find stand up more embarrassing than acting Be acting's like a kind of strange invisibility cloak. That's why a lot of times make good comics when make good actors. You're a really good actor You know, Josh is a good actor I met Rceiv Ans once. And he ask me he asked me what I did, and I said, I'm a standard comic. he said, Oh my God, I could never, ever, ever do that I said, whyy is that then and you went, Because when I'm actcked in, I'm somebody else A lot of comics are too, though. They're not judging me. they're judging character And my interpretation of the character not it's not a value judgment of receivs. Yeah So he could never do stand upp for. I mean, this is twenty years ago, this conversation. He was an estimate of forty. so So I mean, I don't know if he's changes his opin, but I think that's quite common for actors to think that becauseuse you see them on chat shows and they're really embarrassed and shy because they don't know who to be. Yeah. Well like a cougan, a Cgan's a fucking genius. Yeah, never looks particularly comfortable on himself when's when he's being Steve Kooggan on in no. No, that's true. I'd agree with that And he never did stand upp, Steve. He did he was an impressionist. He was a very good impressionist. Yeah. But he would walk on and pretend and say, can you imagine if Terry Wilgon was in nightmare on the street. I think I think that is why comics make good A lot of them obviously, put A lot of comics make good actors They might not have any acting experience, but they got experience of making a dick of themselves and speaking out lou in front of people they don't know. That is a lot of action. But then it's comedy as well that I do,n't it Yes I'd like to try drama. I'd like to see if I could do it seriously as well Okay Probably could. Yeah, have you read Ricky Tomlinon's autobograph It's gonna let hang a. I think I probably could. That's fine, is it? Okay, cool. Yeah, yeah. H F the very first roll he went for It was something like are really angry upset out of work trade unionist And he had been a really angry out of work, upset trade unionist. So he destroyed the audition And the director was like, wow, would you ever acted before? he was like, No, but I have been that. Yeah ye is it actually a stretch? If that's what you want, then believe you me, I can do a really I can do a really my five liston also doing really good blob one I don't think even on MI five list. Yeah, yeah. He started off from this enemy of the state agitator He started off the extreme right and then went to the extreme left and he went to prison as a trade unionist He's got a very interesting story, Rickkeie Tomas. Yeah. He played he did my mate's comedy night, that Beefy's comedy night had been in Bbina recently. Oh, okay. Did he? What like a sort of after dinner thing? Like a Q and A thing? Yeah sat down and I couldn't I was working, but my s was like me. I wasascinating. was brilliant. Heople loved it. Yeah, because he was he was in Brookside as well, wasn't he? Yeah Amazing in the rooyal family. Fantastic in that. Yeah is granted I just like him. he just he's proper noise and graces isn't? I' tell you with that awwards thing with just a cdy bag full of cans. Apparently that's his thing L like if TV shows and stuff as well. Yeah, he's I think there's you remember when Jonathan Ross used to do his chat show on BBC and they'd have those But they still do' they want on an ITV. They have the shop of the green room of yeah the fake waiting area. Tomlinons there with a bag of cans W he's I think it's like stout or something like that, isn't it? Is it? he's got a particular beard he likes that ist isn't l than on tap. Yeah and And he doesn't want to pace through the nose So he brings a bag with him But when I started doing my radio show a couple years ago with a lovely Much, Miss Linda, right We down the new PBC building. It was new then I don't have worked in the old place with the bar in card if you. Yeah So I said, do, whereere's the bar in this place? She said, Well, there's no bar. There's a restaurant, but there's no bar. I said, What? That's not an upgrade. I said I said listen next next Saturday, was the show Satday afternoon I'll just bring some cans in and we'll go on the roof So I brought a big bag full of cans in and then li the beetles Wh do you mean we're gonna to go on the roof? or or like fathers for justice? What sort of I'll give you justice Spider man. I guess slightly more fathers for justice George Howis. Yeah. O O on particular spectrum, yeah No, so so me, Linda Chrisney Bono, you know? h And he roos to us all the sort of hard work beyond the scenes. Yeah b like I think, you know It doesn't count twenty five cans. Yeah. I like twelve cans. Yeah, It's a really nice sunny day. Why are cans so much funny than bottles? Well, on the roof we just drank and drank cans. it was l, right, That's great. I said I'm not sure we're supposed to do that. I So now it tastes even better We're being naughty. We're basically being at a park Drinking cans. We're on the banks of a river. drrinking cans we should be in school Be if you're If you're in a green room after a afterfter a sort of TV show. Yeah Or even if it's like a corporate event and it's the it's like the evening drinks, it would be always be bottles of becks Yeah, give me some cans, man. Yeah I'm more of a can Also you can open them yourself, cans. That's the bit. Bottles always find there's jeopardy or someone's going to ruin their teeth or't ruin some a bottle.

I cant think what I've got now. I have a bit more fucking enthusiasm in the room, shall we? Well watch my clips. That's The accademy system. Put that on And the rugby. Do you know what? Can you do the rugby? Well, listen then if you're on the Patreon, Yeah. there is in the second half, I'll talk about the accademy system in football becausecause I don't think I've made a comment that's garnered that much response online for a while. Okay, cool And talk, I'll talk on the second off, but okay, first off, let me do the rog be then This is Victim oututfield Talking O school rugb go. I mean, I saw the clip of ninety fourth just First thing guys in the line looking up, being flat, just playing what they see in front I think we' missing something. and I think at some stage in I feel a team like Bordeaux is almost there where they just play head up racky and once they get momentum, they just hard on the advantage line. they forget about structure And for me at the moment, if I look at schoolboy recack in South Africa, I get frustrated with teams being overcoached and they all just in the same position and they just do what they told. I thought you were sending me that to have a go at me because I got dropped from the all blacks after that. No I did. It was a beautiful rack. I really enjoyed it. How quick were the setups and the scrums You know? Y. How quick were the lineouts And we need to get back to that because I agree with you. I think the structure We were overcoached. It looked like it was just chaos. this was no organisation and the boys are just throwing it around. But I tell you what, Shit it was fun. Here we go. South Africa New Zealand game from the nineties And I know I'm biased. and I know it's a proper old man thing to say and you sort of end up turning into your parents. Yeahep It was just better And with a caveat that I think in the last three or four seasons ' turned a corner And it's going back to they mentioned Bordo, but also cve through this on I'm much just saying it c of this all the time. They turn the corner of playing what's in front of them and a bit more expression, which I love body types are starting to change with an emphasis on speed and quickness more than just brute strength. Yeah, that's true. Well I just think nineties rugby. when you first went proro, you suddly had a lances you could afford train full time, workking their skills full time, but there was a bit of chuck it around a bit as well, and deffences weren't so organized. And it was just beautiful You talk about football ten years ago being P football. I think nineties rugby into the two early two thousands was peak rugby. I reckon rugby I would say it's two thousand to twenty ten Premier League The sort of Ferguson late ninety actually no, I would say probably ninety seven to like Oh for the peak of the Venger Ferguson R. I think the football then is fantastic. It's all the modern spports science and nutrition, so they're really fit which is a great. Balls and lights but the laws of the game allow a bit more contact. So there's just it's really intense and those games are the sort of of battle of all Trafford sort of era, football matches are amazing With rugby, I can watch people waxingic level seventies rugby, rightly so right? But physicality wise, I can't look at those players and and relate when you got like props away ninety kilos and when you go halfbacks that are seventy kilos. That seems odd to me. Whereas in the ninet I really can relate to that a someil ofar ways se kilos I love Senting should be. But then but then nineties rugby Gone into two thousand, early two thousand They s of look more like modern players Yes but they still played The m is to disappear, which is a good thing This but this will play a much looser game of rugby. And I just think late eighties as well. So like I love most playay. it' like Campazi play. I love watching players, you know that This South African team of the time, that New Zealand team of the time. I think because the Welsh team in the nineties Before the game went pro in ninety five, we probably lost a lot of talent. We've mentioned this before But certain Southern Hemisphere Rugy then was just just great to watch. like it was fantastic to watch. And then When the game went pro in ' ninety five for the next of five or six years We were still playing catch up with defenses. They weren't playing Defense like I think when it got to sort of like two thousand onwards R remember England winning that World Cup Im not this is not a fucking down or. Those three. I think they score like two or three tries in the tournament. it was I think there's only one or two tries in the final was a lot of drop goals and penalties and game are very attritional. I think from that that was ben hismerino era in football. Th then rugby became big units. tryrying to wear people down. Yeah, trying to cause penalties, kicking the points. I mean, you look at like John Kerbin who's in this and Joh you, He it He splits he can see he can split a room, John Yeah. But I've always got on with him reasonably well. with you m Yeah, you's not coach Italy. So I spent a fair bit of time with him over the years. I got on quite well with him, but he was six foot four. A about fifteen stone I think. Yeah So if you compare that to someone George North six four Yeah and he was probably seventeen in a bit stone. Yeah. So you in terms of like size difference, you're not talking about like taller players being picked in these positions, which is sort of I think what people initially think of But a lot of the backs in that era that John was playing in would have been tall And heavy. The fififteen stone is heavy G to another man But you know, in rugby terms now, you add you're adding on two or three stone of muscle absolutely. And that' looks very different. It's why Joh Alomo was so revolutionary when he started playing Yes. because in Wins, he'd been in the he'd been a forward. he'd have been forced to be that That's what Kowin thought because when when the first time that Jonah arrives at New Zealand camp He walks in turkey sharing a rumor with Kirwin And Kirwin's got a deal where he doesn't share rooms with forwards And Jonah walks in. he's not now not down the corridor And's like, No, no, I'm rooming you but I don't room before you when I'm on a wing. the girl was like, Oh fuck. game's changing lads Like Robert Jones is five for seven Jonathan Davis was about five foot nine. We had a lot of quite small backs and the thing with I'm sort of uniquely placed. talk about this because when I visit DAs, what we do is we just watch the APSM . channel on Twitter and Instam, which is always stuff from it tends to be from the seventies and eighties If you watch a rugby match from nineteen eighty eight, which is my favorite era Eleven forwards are just on the floor. Yeah they're just on the ground and they're completely out of the game Both sides. And then happens is the ball the ball goes out, you know, the scrama will get hold the ball will spin it out to the number ten And then it is completely up to the outside half what happens And it's really, really organic. And there's kind of no rhyme or reason to where the other players will be and they'll often just be on the floor or out to the game somehow So all the tries look different They're all unique. They like fingerprints tries in about nineteen eighty seven. It's really it's really interesting to watch because where is now find I find modern rugby quite boring to watch. It's kind of back to the way. I'm telling you you need to watch a bit more modern rugy because it has turned a corner definitely. They' kind of completely play what' in front of you, is that possible in the modern game? Because wouldn't defences just be so well drilled that Yeah, because I met I was meeting with them The boy boys had a pee day, right? And they're in academy school And the way they play in rugby You know, he said, you' got have a bit you got to a structure You have a structure that then allows you to play It's roookb. This was this was a bit of a mishmash. So You have to do certain things a certain way. I'll try to do things a certain way. But what you're trying to find then is space And when you got a space or a mismatch Th then youve got to play you play what's in front of you. And that means you're kicking from You know, if if you're going to chip in your own twenty two it is on, yeah, do it So They've put a lot of players into into that cardter side now. think of eight players I going to go from that squ into there just watched away way the card of play rugby and Jockey when he was coaching down there, Sareot D a great job. The new coach came in and sort of continued that. They mentioned in this thing Bordu, you know, when he's played well likeike watch watching clip it's a brilliant clip of rugby. It really shows rugby off as a game. Because one it's being played while I love rugby. Yeah, such an ent. There's so much going on R all the time. And I don' know that You know, I like football, you love football, you know, but what I like about rugbies is, there's always something that there's always I don't know enough about football to appreciate a good one too I don't see the movement in midfield and stuff. So I just kind of follow the ball around the place So I'm sure there is stuff going on the shots so I probably don't understand enough about it. W rugby there's always a ruck or there's a liner or there's a scrum or there's a There's something going on. There's an offload or or there's a There's an overlap or there's a chip, or there's a chase or there's there's a You know, great mark being taken or a high ball or a finish in a corner. There all seems to be something in good Rubby, there's always something going on. I went to Bordu last year I was surprised at how big there go to cafes and restaurants and there'd be Border rugby shirts and Border rugby flags and they love it and things. They love it down there. because the football team are quite successful on the Bordax football team as well Qite sporty city portal, but Yeah, I didn't realize it was that big. I been a boys in age now man. I might have been sixteen. I might have been a Look, a genuine possible Route. is getting to sort of eighteen, nineteen And then go into the south of France pererick. Oh. Fucking hell. What a dream. Yeah Ajerie You know, doing a Jamie Roberts and just playing all over the world. When you see the boys and they go and play for the French club, the Welsh boys want to play for the French clubs and theyd show like a bit of a clip of it on strrum fire or something. don't lookuck The thing with eighties rug B is the pitch looks much bigger players are smaller and there's so many players big su high level law. Yeah. Well I think but I think they're alsoome. I think like the in goo areas were a lot bigger. You look at Behind the sticks the dm' routine the Distance between a tri line and a dead ballline was a lot There was a lot bigger then. Yeah. it just seem there seems to be so much space. So if you have got initiative, like It kind of tries Jonathan Davis scored when he was playing for Nath. or play Pn ale there and it's just S done his best really? We'll throw at the film that we're going to do, right? which a an early nineties film based on seventies and sixties rugby, right? So You mentioned earlier about players being on the floor and we mentioned right the top that you don't see a mall anymore. We certainly not coached a mall. I was coached a mall from a young age, right? So and every We've said this before. every single season started with a coach saying, right, you go in turn aroundound present the ball. Yeah Next person goes in, secures on you on the ball. Next two people come in, bind on each other and bind over the top of the wh carry, abbsolutely. you' got this rigid five person mall Yeah at least and then then next two're going to come in they could all, you know You might have might out of his miniature scrum. yeah, miniature scr any point. And just as a little sort of move, what we're going to do is Srum off is going to go in there look like he's going to take it off but actually bind on the ball and we're going to keep on driving like it Great move. But then when the ball but when the ball did come out then you had fourteen fours. there weren't P of the play. Absolutely that. Yeahah. yeah for backs that's really exciting, I think Yeah. I really, I really love that rugby Be it allows bugs to express themselves. What a mad thing to see When I think about it now, Iagine I've coached it because when I started coaching, the first time I ever coached any sort of rugby, I would be been in university doing sort of, you know I think I'd c like the card if Uni Law Society helped them out to try and get a, you know, ass part of my sort of coaching module in Whatever I Yeah, yeah. I've I've tald people to turn on the cemula. too into contact backwards? Yeah, absolutely turn around with the mall. Stop. If you lear to say football fan who never played rugby at school, it looks mental and they cannot They just cannot empathize or relate to it as a sporting endeavor at all. It's the same thing when every Cicket lesson I ever had as a kid. and any year started off with a forward defensive stroke. Oh yeah, what we don't want to do is score for this Tell you what we're not doing lads you might get out if you try to score. Yeah, I might If I you swinging them back again, you're going no That's I was told that many a time Whats for I could never see it bable angle down of Batting if I wasn't trying to score which resulted in me hardly ever scoring. I reckon every kid over forty in this country Fty five maybe, but certainly four M certainly five or probably for ye I reckon your first cricket lesson would have been doing the forward defensive stroke. Hotly fucking nause you. Hotly followed in lesson two, not by the hook or the pull or just fucking swinging it No straight backward defensive lads. Oh I't even get into that. No, we're going up. your first attacking shot. Yeah back foot Keeping the ball down. hit the ball down, down down but the passage over there. Yeah. I get more for a sixth, don't I s? G down. That's why it's called the six. I get more for a six. Yeah, but you're not going to score them I was going for theoretical. I wouldn't mind, yeah. Yeah, you're right with it, to be honest, Pass. Have you seen I shoot the b in this at the moment I'm staying in going. I'm going for a none. so much forward defensive strokes, sir. No one can fucking bowl anyway. so don't worry about it. They're not going to bowl you out Is can't get anyh near the wicket? Oh yeah, yes, Even. M in twice. Yes, seven. I played in the cricket team for Bermer there played a ferryide school gone a ferry school in feryside. I think there must have been about a six run scquad all day.. Yeah. they'd be extras. They'd be wides. Yeah, loads of wides. So many wides. Overs that last for about fifteen to twenty balls So many ye, so many wides. too the point where we just stopped giving the extra ball and just giving two runs Yeah just, yeah, exact. I' get over the last week. I only got time for a fucking forty five ball over. I was stood on the boundary. Yeah, I always feeled did. For hours Bul go nowhere near me I remember feeling that if you were in the slips it would be dangerous and then doing it was a fuck all happened because hiss kids cricket What was I ever frightened of here I going get hit by a ball from my bowler. That's it And then Rpey was that, Ropey was turn around. Stop before you get to the opposition, M I've forgotten about that until I watched the film we're discussing in Michael Owens movie club, where there's an awful lot of turning around going to go next in this round because I genuinely don't think this needs much talk around it. This is carrying on with the rugby theme. this is some of the England's women's team players and sometimes you just misspeak or people think you're about to misspeak And hilarity ensues. I on home straight are? Yeah. What you most excited to do when you get home Have a wagon mamas. I love this Because I've watched this up on my feed for a few years now to go home And have a wank. everyvery single time, I think she's gonna to say wank. every single time. Oh wank at mammas. Yeah, wank at mammas. Cool, man. cool Yeah that's the one. Thomas Cw it Yeah you wanted go two on so For weeks and weeks weeks and weeks and weeks. go back to my mom's house level one. So someone like aam' one wrong. Okay. every time you turn your head, everything in your room moves. Oh fucking look because I tied on my fucking leaders on my fucking slipper. Right to take o. Your slipperers come off so everything's fine. I thought you'd got a heart attack then byike. I was seving a wagon b,n't? I thought it was the monster The monst's got him.

Oh my Godd. This is a cycling clip with a Welsh flavor. Sy cars come in Hang out Pace onise S Come on. I've done a couple of these clips where it would be Mountain bikers Tompit Cck now rides the Tour came from this sort of world. it came from the mountain biking world. And it means that technically they're incredible riders But we've done a few of these clips and The sort of really, really mad courses they're on are often in Italy or they might be in France or in Spain Whereas this is in like Ferndale in Ronda or something? Yeah. And it is very Welsh, I recognize All of the sort of, you know, the sort of houses and the landscape and the weather But he's like, anyy cars come in? phos. No. And he does something that I wouldn't do for a hundred grand because if this goes wrong, he's gonna to get wiped out and knocked off his bike by like a postman or something ust I could feel all the muscles in my body tense because I thought was he was gonna ride straight into that fence. It looks like I would have that in that fvela in like Brazil or something wet for some reason, right? People will watch the one of the Falla. and they will go Oh, that's cool. That's amazing. That's beautiful. They'll watch this one of they go' fucking dangerous isn't? what' you doing that for? Yeah There is no difference And the guy in the the only guy in danger in this one, I mean is the guy on the bike, but the second guy in danger is the guy in the high Viz jacket who steps out the way on the steps and doesn't say a word. Any cars come in he And those steps will have been there for one hundred years probably. And only a maniac would have chosen to ride down them on a bike. Yes. This guy is a maniac. The hive of his blg doesn't seem bothered at all. No slightly because he does this every day probably this last And the The way does slow down in time considering it's in the wet because obviously it's not So it's been so it's been rain name. What this sort of proves to me is that The real maniacs are in small towns and villages, yes, becausecause in cities they've got too much stuff to do I think like it's dirty Sent those days, you know, Yeah, they were just plan to her Hanging rounds. Doing weird crazy shit,? Yeah, that's exactly it. Yeah. If teenagers just hang around for long enough, eventually some of them will do something fucking mental which is why if teenagers have stuff to do, don' they don't end up doing stuff like this But I wouldn't fuckking out. I I'm just too risk averse now Maybe when I was a teenager But now at forty five, I would just see. I would just see injuries if someone said, Are you going to? Yeah you you only see the bad outcomes, don't you Yeah. I also don't think my braking is good enough. I think the I think I would hit the the barrier, which, you know Well under the council are putting a barrier there because they've obviously thought ahead that someone is going to cycle down this and try and get into the road. So they've nailed that in fairness to them. I don't think I'd be able to brake. I'd either brake too early and then go over the handle bars. Oh take the bike with me. T on the bike brake, M you'd be fine. Yeah, ye J. I'm not technically good enough rider to do this. I would ride my bike a lot, but I just don't think I'd be good enough. I went proper mountain bike once and actually hated it Oh really? Yeah. I was done a quite fancy mountain biking. Well, the downhill stuff you did. Yeah, I went mountain biking in the peak district and came off the bike a couple of times. Yeah this is bullshit I remember doing it and not one of my mates was really into it and Yeah my into it really into it. So we're down at Talbt, a sort of Avan Valley sort around it. Yeah I just had't I'd never done that and I didn't consider how much uphill there was involved in downhill mountain biking That's just bit boring that bit I couldn' be ask. the one up in Murtha, you can get Yeahah, you get lift up lifts to the top. Yeah. My mater Scota he lives in Derbyshire And he goes in all the madrids in the pig district, but he mirth is his favorite place. He loves if he's ever got a spare weekend, he's down in the earth of mountain biikeking. Oh, I love ever. At the moment I had a sign of thing saying like we wouldn't do any dangerous activities until we finish in Mamm. Seriously. Yeah, you got interesting. And you've had monster and peanutis for breakfast. Is that all part the contract as well No, thankfully. Okay I got' fine. Okay. Izy' fming at the moment and she she had to fill in the same form. Really? But she's also recording a podcast. so on her form is she's like, I'm not doing anything dangerous apart from I am contractually obliged to go hot air balloony Aazing Or there's someone you couldn't pay enough money to do? No wayait. What you'd rather do this You'd rather do downhill mountain biking than hot air balloon. I'd rather beaten by piranhas than go hot airalloon. I'd rather do downhill motorbikeking than do a lot of things but look of it. Okay, looks it looks fun. Hot air balloon. Zero I lived in Bath for a long time where and you know, there's a lot of hot air action in the bathroom. Yeah there is. Yeah, yeah, yeah On the way to Bristol aport thisite bit.
