feel of thought this is gonna get
4:34
me states I feel is s. And.
4:37
Cliche. I tend to see. Something
4:40
that's never really to leagues seats because
4:42
I think it's ultimately but as he
4:44
cited cities because they don't see that
4:46
the since with every other part of
4:48
the U T. Has the don't identity

Can reverse that and little to
5:04
know that we and see as
5:06
exactly up in a country is
5:08
that so that countries all about

thus pubmed class system that of
5:13
kinda obsessed with with is angry

5:19
in June a sex network acres
5:21
before so he jacks as the
5:23
but I'd go further and say
5:25
the hadn't really been. Score is
5:27
national identity this give me space
5:29
by lazy that hasn't been that
5:31
before brim either because like they
5:33
the of Scotland that a unified.
5:36
Home. With a single a

blown fuck course what Scotland then and
6:11
it's this through on a killer it's
6:13
the him the regimental evening dress in
6:15
of like a when regimen and their
6:17
that's for that lit comes from me
6:19
see every scores with and novices the
6:21
thing that the name of african have
6:23
to suddenly gonna say we dress in
6:25
some less pick that one that is
6:27
that is really like any kill any
6:29
Jacobite with a war no no no.
6:31
There's no source of things like if I
6:34
think. About my get on my command
6:36
wouldn't have protect lead them to
6:38
cite the school he should just
6:40
be embraced. but that's also a
6:42
postwar sense and the kinda moody
6:44
of World war Two city. But
6:46
weird is no as saints. When.
6:49
I talk to young people the seems
6:51
he have a view. Self.
6:53
Confidence up a been score is to
6:55
not mean anything misuse the few that
6:57
identity more than like what others grew
6:59
up. Even. Ship sinks in the
7:02
news lately never use. The school is tales
7:04
of little use. You
7:06
know the never see always Thirty two
7:09
says we'll see though see is to
7:11
have of supplies straight. Best new Duke
7:13
of Edinburgh possible to survey but they
7:15
should have been using his tales in
7:18
L. L shouldn't
7:20
have various realms of pace, Know
7:22
man, this. Is the
7:24
of shit of assassinations
7:27
allegedly? And another
7:29
dimension he would have been to
7:31
the queen. Something like cacciari or
7:33
something of we could understand his
7:35
to form and the hell realm.
7:37
Remember when Lake. The. Find
7:39
him lead trash Dislike. Or
7:43
by for upside down as it was
7:45
like name a force gab as well
7:47
as pro away house you drive and
7:49
as dimension. One
7:51
hundred s a few we use.
7:53
I made this less. and
7:56
the last gives me this lesser process of
7:58
to that said the I'm
8:01
excited for a lot of those older people to die. Do
8:04
you know what I mean? Like baby boomers,
8:07
I'm excited for that age group. Did
8:09
not, specific ones, obviously. Well,
8:11
people are lovely, but as a group, that... I'm
8:14
really proud to that. They're quite an
8:16
entitled group. They're quite
8:19
an entitled group, I think, baby boomers. But
8:21
they're also the ones moaning
8:23
about future generations going, oh,
8:26
they say that they're riddled with anxiety. They're
8:28
like, no wonder I haven't used parents. You're
8:31
a fucking sociopath. As the rest
8:33
thing, I sometimes think, being
8:36
oppressed sometimes gives
8:38
you more empathy. So if you're that younger
8:40
generation, you go, oh, I
8:42
can see why my parents haven't come
8:45
off the back of the Second World War or our
8:47
souls. Blah, blah, blah. Whereas being
8:49
an oppressor kind of radicalizes you a
8:51
bit quicker, because people like a bit
8:53
of sadism, and they like someone to
8:55
blame, they like scapegoats. And
8:57
I think the root of a lot of human problems
9:00
is the fact that being
9:02
mad, actually, you
9:04
get into it a lot quicker. It's a bit
9:06
more addictive. It's a
9:09
bit more addictive. Aye?
9:12
You could have grouped there if you were Hitler now.
9:15
He would be like, no, he'd be like, eh, you
9:17
know there's something there. Do you know what? Yeah, that's
9:19
fair enough. Like, I was, I
9:21
was like, you know. And
9:23
the North. Do you remember? There
9:26
was a show, which is done there, the
9:29
Subject of Evil Psychopaths. Richard
9:31
Branson did a show, remember
9:33
the Apprentice was the biggest show in the world
9:36
when Trump started it, right? So
9:38
they did a kind of knock-off version
9:40
called Rebel Billionaire. And I'm like,
9:42
this guy has something, it's Richard Branson, he's a
9:44
rebel billionaire, right? And he's like taking
9:47
on his Apprentice candidates like,
9:50
That's how you shoot in the nice kind of stuff,
9:52
it didn't make any sense. But
9:54
it's about where he goes to the
9:56
Grand Canyon or something, the massive, massive
9:59
canyon. and he's got like
10:01
a thing that looks a bit like a
10:03
portal, just a steel cube on a bungee
10:05
cord, right? and he fires
10:07
it off the edge of the canyon and uh
10:12
knocks a bit a bit and then he
10:14
goes which one of you is
10:16
gonna get in that and you know
10:18
fire off the edge of the canyon, right?
10:20
and then all of that like it's like you know if you
10:23
want to be my apprentice you've got a blah blah blah and
10:26
this one of them goes me I'll do
10:28
it and he goes if you'd have
10:30
got in that thing you would have died what's
10:36
the point? what is the point? what is the
10:38
point? do you ever watch The Apprentice? I
10:41
used to watch the Elantru, do I know you bit? so
10:45
I've been watching this series too, watch
10:47
it, look at this now,
10:49
it's mental like
10:52
it's actually mental how bad
10:54
some of them are and
10:56
you're like if this is what they've chosen
10:58
what did they knock back that's what I
11:01
want to see but that's what they're looking
11:03
for so when they're doing the interview they're
11:05
like that's fucking empty which we get him
11:07
trying to design a breakfast cereal yeah they're
11:10
fucking but also I kind of watch
11:12
it from behind a cushion so
11:14
my wife like she really likes it she
11:16
just kills herself and now she's
11:18
just started laughing at me watching it because I
11:20
start off going oh for
11:23
fuck's sake and then I go through that
11:25
Jesus fucking thrice stage and then I came
11:27
out the end of that we're just like
11:29
pushing over my face going I can't I
11:31
can't watch these people I can't
11:33
the cringe is too much it's too much
11:36
but it's mostly because we don't really have
11:38
management so it's about laughing
11:40
at clueless management fannies so
11:43
all these people have to work in the NHS
11:45
which is funny it doesn't know what they're doing
11:47
and they're like there's one of them I can
11:49
watch it with his wheel like oh my god
11:51
why would you be like this is awful why
11:54
would you choose this life yeah yeah
11:57
that's good him the Trump one was mental
11:59
as well though when he
12:01
was doing it but that's what put
12:03
him into the public consciousness now he's going to be
12:06
an in-jail president. Hey
12:09
there. Who would you like to
12:12
see as president? Apparently Biden's
12:15
dead body. Yeah. He would do
12:17
less damage. Bernieed. Not Sanders.
12:19
We could. Well I have a theory
12:21
that Biden could win by appealing
12:24
to both the... he could get votes from both the
12:26
living and the dead. So all these
12:29
people like civil war soldiers and railroad
12:32
tycoons and that from America's past would turn
12:34
it and vote for him like the ghosts
12:37
that help Aragon. The
12:39
siege at Gondar. But
12:43
yeah I'm intrigued. That has
12:45
spectral form running again. It's
12:47
exciting isn't it? He done a
12:50
wee walk out of playing recently. Maybe
12:52
not recently but actually never a day of
12:54
him coming out of playing and he was
12:56
walking like C-3PO. His body's just fucking...
12:59
Constantly. Mechanically. I
13:02
mean he's fried. Yeah. What was
13:04
that thing he was saying about the earth angel?
13:07
He was... There it is, isn't it? He was
13:10
like oh earth angel. It seemed like
13:12
he was... As soon as I saw
13:14
him figure this. He must be seeing
13:16
angels and all that stuff.
13:18
Like his mother's voice. Like
13:20
all kinds of things. Do you think that happens?
13:24
When you're... When you're way out... We're
13:26
doing that. He's just coming, get you?
13:30
Probably not the type of angels you'd want. Probably
13:32
the biblically accurate angels. We've got a thousand eyes
13:34
and twenty wings and a
13:36
circle and all that type of stuff rather
13:39
than cupids and gabroos and... I don't trust
13:41
whatever God's running up
13:43
there. Partly because Abraham
13:46
and Isaac, I still refer to often.
13:50
God says to Abraham, sacrifice
13:53
your son Isaac and
13:55
then when Abraham goes to actually sacrifice his
13:59
son, God goes nowhere. But
14:01
wouldn't the test be that you wouldn't
14:03
do it? Yeah. Like if you weren't
14:05
completely mad you wouldn't do it. But
14:08
the right thing to do is to
14:10
be prepared to kill your own son. God is a
14:12
fascist. What god is that? He wants your
14:14
unbending actions. I think this is
14:16
a son. I think this is just a humiliation. This
14:19
is fuck all! Yeah you think this
14:21
big test would be well. I
14:26
asked you to kill your son
14:28
and you knew not to do
14:31
it. Because
14:37
you're a good person. Well in any fairy story
14:39
in any fable that's what it would be. Yeah.
14:42
But god's like Richard Branson. You're
14:45
fired. You're the apron and
14:47
you're fucking fired. You've
14:56
got to always be slightly
14:58
cautious of anyone with an island. That's just
15:00
a good rule of thumb. You're like well
15:02
you've got an island okay. You
15:05
know? Yeah. I
15:07
mean I think we've learned recently that men with
15:09
islands as male was a good thing. I
15:12
think they should be. You
15:14
could see that. I think there's always such
15:16
a mash up TV show. Tony Robinson's
15:18
time team with a
15:20
scuba diving element where
15:23
they investigate around Epstein's Island.
15:26
And they're like oh I found a Pokemon
15:28
sticker. I found a female.
15:31
Like they just haul in a net every week. See
15:34
how it works. Yeah.
15:37
Oh. I just need to escape from a sex shop and
15:41
swim to land on Epstein's Island. No.
15:43
I mean they're trying to eat planet
15:45
in the air fryer. That
15:48
island there was sharks round it as well. Come
15:52
addicted shark. There's
15:56
got to taste for it. People think they like blood
15:58
but they love cum. By
16:15
Mango, How much work? Unless they
16:17

18:07
these bloods black pp recently. Three as
18:09
black was the time toilets. Or.

18:58
With. The kids have insisted the shot though.

19:02
and when the to his by the bambee son
19:04
Vita in front of their and they just had
19:06
a stitch up with a said everybody else done
19:09
then. All of our vore has
19:11
wolf the same person that be biden
19:13

19:15
says so badly sandals was a communist
19:17
menace. believes that like myself here to.
19:20
Post your whole family but that in the hands
19:22
of them and view. Was. Ill
19:25
a yeah. Symbolism is really
19:27
nice. And then.
19:30
To didn't brain. And their.
19:32
Own have any more women? Some. Jeremy
19:36
Corbyn if if if if if
19:38
advocacy and news about spot welding
19:40
and as is an evil guy
19:42
he's had black heart operation. Sweetie
19:44
Foods is never stop. Crying
19:47
like an amateur suction Cup as
19:50
get so caught up in this
19:52
race the home. Saying. in
19:54
british politics is the dominant style
19:57
across a person is sentimental
19:59
he doesn't who you are right
20:01
wing you're longing for some last
20:03
thing left wing you're
20:05
longing for some thing conditions that created
20:07
you that no longer exists yeah you
20:10
know and nationalists you're longing for some
20:12
Scotland that never existed or some England
20:14
that never existed or whatever just the
20:16
whole thing is just daubed
20:19
in the emotion that is the
20:21
least suited to action you
20:24
know I mean if you've got training some
20:26
boxer for a fight or something you're not
20:28
like let's get some old pictures of you
20:30
dead motherfucker. Let's push Rocky, let's push Rocky,
20:33
Rocky will put you in the mood. That's kind
20:35
of your right wing because because you want
20:37
a status quo maintained you don't want people
20:39
doing things but if you're left wing you
20:42
don't want the whole thing saturated with an
20:44
emotion that makes people in error. It's
20:46
fucked up in tight with Benny because it's like
20:48
he was like the deduction but he is also
20:50
80 and mostly dead
20:53
and not really pro ceasefire in any
20:56
way. They gotta get Hamas. Benny
21:00
had that guy who's coming to the centre
21:02
who wears shorts and hoodies and stuff and
21:05
believes in socialised health care. This guy's
21:07
good. John Fetterman he's
21:09
like the centre for Pennsylvania
21:12
but he's a fucking wing that is
21:14
where when it comes to his real,
21:16
real freaks. Who is that? He's just this guy who
21:18
wears a hoodie and he's like I'm just a
21:21
normal guy who I'm a centre. He's
21:23
shy as well. Amazing. Who
21:26
was the guy who was lying about everything? Santos
21:29
was it? Who
21:31
was the guy who was the... El Santos, the
21:34
literally very restful. I knew this
21:36
would get to this. George Santos. George Santos.
21:38
And ended up being told he couldn't
21:41
be a centre. He was just instrumental. He was
21:43
just meeting up with much stuff. Was
21:45
it the wee guy who adopted something and he was shagging him?
21:50
Oh really? To be honest I thought that was with the Alan. You
22:00
should do that with Alan Cleen.
22:02
Okay. Uh,
22:05
with Alan? No, you should do
22:07
that. Oh yeah, I can't do it. We
22:21
should say that with Alan's phone. I
22:26
don't know why actually. I think
22:28
that... I can't just say
22:30
I rewatched Ainee Hall recently
22:33
with a view to stealing its structure.
22:35
That's something I'm working on. You're
22:37
working on a 70s style rom-com? Yeah,
22:40
with Diane Keaton actually. About time. Um,
22:44
but it seemed to me that
22:47
Ainee Hall is a really different film from
22:49
what I thought it was. Because
22:52
like, it's kind of
22:54
about him being really threatened
22:56
by Ainee Hall. And
22:58
like, him being a
23:00
relentlessly merciless
23:02
arsehole. And her wanting to
23:04
go to evening classes and improve herself and smoke
23:06
less dope and things like that. And
23:09
he's very threatened by and critical of all these things
23:11
throughout the film. And actually it's
23:13
kind of a very
23:15
self-critical, whether it's accidentally self-critical
23:18
or not, I don't know, film
23:20
about this
23:22
terrible man wanting
23:24
to cling on to this woman he
23:26
doesn't deserve. Yeah. I mean, even
23:29
Manhattan, which is the one where he has
23:31
a girlfriend in the film, and
23:33
it's kind of like based on him. And
23:36
you're like, well, you know,
23:38
it's good that you know that that's bad. But
23:40
you are still doing it. Brother.
23:45
She's 18 in the film. She's 18 that she's...
23:47
But she was 17 in real life. Oh, so
23:49
witty. Yeah,
23:52
he was very self-critical, but he never says
23:54
he loves her in it. He
23:57
never says, I love you. He always says, I love
23:59
you. But he's quite... he's
24:02
never got an inability to love. Do you remember
24:04
the start of Annie Hall? He comes out and
24:06
he goes... He just does a bit
24:08
to camera and he goes, you
24:10
know, it's like the old joke about I
24:12
wouldn't want to be in a
24:14
club that would have me as a member. And
24:17
he said, which some people attribute to
24:20
Groucho Marx, but it's actually from Freud.
24:23
And he gives a citation and blah, blah, blah, it doesn't
24:25
be better. And I thought,
24:27
I wonder why has it got that structure? And later
24:29
in the film, he's
24:31
in a scene and he turns to camera
24:33
and he says, it's like the old Groucho Marx joke.
24:35
I wouldn't want any club that has me as a
24:38
member. And you're like, did
24:40
you just add that bit on at the front of
24:42
the movie because you'd used the wrong quote? And
24:45
you're such an intellectual narcissist that
24:47
you couldn't have someone go, that's actually Freud.
24:50
You've just changed the structure of the film and
24:54
stuck yourself on at the start, giving the
24:56
correct thing as a footnote. I think that's
24:58
what happened. Otherwise, why would you do it
25:00
twice? He is
25:02
a narcissist, complete narcissist.
25:05
What age is he now? He's about
25:08
a president age now. The president, I think he
25:10
probably runs. I'd
25:12
like to see Trump versus William. Wow.
25:19
I should be the president. I
25:22
would say this is a cafe. And a
25:24
lady said, you know, such
25:27
terrible food in such small portions.
25:31
And that's what's wrong with health care. I
25:36
could be great. This
25:38
is bad part of it. I like doing it. What
25:43
if we're the other person? He
25:46
must be about nearly 90. For
25:48
someone who's so anxious, he got up to a lot. You
25:51
know? I don't know how anxious he
25:53
was. Yeah. Yeah, I think he may
25:55
have been. He really, Maybe should have put
25:57
my step on it. They
26:00
were worried about editor the Seasons
26:02
We people. You know that's why
26:04
you only fucking people who lead
26:06
to be built in effect as
26:08
a nice and we'll do a
26:10
disclaimer start and this tale of
26:12
Annie Hall which was legally adopted
26:14
by the day and age signs.
26:16
It was an illegal adoption which
26:18
is so it's best. At
26:22
least. As

28:23
we could just go live any
28:25
time at that the same time
28:27
period that people started Clinton key
28:29
to success with internal you really
28:32
going into pedophiles by flirting with
28:34
some of the last thing the
28:36
further riled up. Who's
28:40
your. Move. Against
28:42
them and. Move. Against
28:44
It's. At
28:50
that. Is it
28:52
authors? I've
28:55
never given it much thought know most we
28:58
went out and show business and sit and
29:00
play them. And
29:02
am but a yeah just seems like am
29:04
waiting. I came from sissy that that I
29:07
to the p two hundred would think that
29:09
was of a. Think
29:11
people's skin an elite they said that
29:13
will be those His lesson in the
29:15
day it isn't just wanna be tagged
29:17
as Bundestag and islands or to slip
29:19
for couldn't get and it's It's as
29:21
if as is. I'm
29:24
afraid of enables. Type
29:41
of his that they are my thoughts.
29:44
So I went to the seen the
29:46
scenes cancelled such guess accept the truth
29:48
and day. I. get in the
29:50
car and again as i use
29:52
yahoo and i that guy that
29:55
he was told me about politics
29:57
no seats me politics has the
29:59
my bike literally a
30:01
second later they went, what did you
30:03
make of that Nicola Sturgeon deleting her WhatsApp? I
30:06
was like ahhh. I said
30:08
ahhh ahhh ahhh. I said well whatever
30:10
it is ahhh ahhh ahhh
30:12
ahhh. And I tell you I don't
30:15
know before they send peer greetings or
30:17
labour or the Tories and I'm
30:19
thinking you could have got Liberal Democat
30:21
like, who do you Glasgow
30:24
votes for a Liberal Democat? Like no
30:26
offence Liberal Democat, it's lovely but there's
30:28
where it ends. Ahh
30:31
ahhh. And then the rest of the journey's
30:33
like, you know whom's are
30:36
useless? They're just like ahhh right
30:38
okay. Aye aye aye. And
30:40
that I ahhh and it's
30:42
ahhh ahhh. And I was like,
30:45
oh wait a minute there's a theme
30:47
here. The theme would appear to be women
30:50
and men with brown
30:52
skin. You are not
30:54
a fan of right so I think
30:56
what we're getting to here is that
30:58
you're just a misogynistic racist. No
31:00
tip. No tip. No
31:03
tip. No tip. That
31:05
he wasn't just talking to some guy. The
31:07
other guy was in the same boat as
31:09
you. He has that conversation, he's got evidence
31:11
that he'll go, he's talking about women there.
31:14
I'm the one who taught it. Just all
31:16
the time. Work around for how they can
31:18
just start talking about that. He's like, this
31:20
is a L-E-Z
31:23
zone for the environment putting 300 taxis
31:25
off the
31:27
road. And I was like, oh
31:29
alright okay. I was like why is that?
31:32
Aye well because you know you need a clean
31:34
off taxi. I was like, well
31:36
it's cleaner. Aye aye aye. It's the Scottish
31:38
Government. I mean this is pretty much every
31:40
British city. It's got them. See that's where I'm going
31:43
down the country and everybody else goes, aye
31:45
we hit them first. I was like no we
31:47
didn't. Probably one of the last to actually
31:49
get them. No no no no no
31:51
no no. You're just like right so
31:53
it literally doesn't matter what happens here.
31:56
You're ultimately going to blame this. The taxi
31:58
should be exempt from it. the last public
32:00
transport I'm
32:04
not really bothered but the whole
32:06
point was he was just horrible
32:10
horrible now it's like he's
32:12
not going to tax him in He's
32:14
getting to be an older guy's job now He's getting
32:16
to be a middle aged guy's job What did he
32:18
used to be? It'd be more of
32:20
a mix He doesn't
32:22
see a lot of young dudes All the
32:24
young dudes There'd
32:26
be more women Probably
32:29
a safety thing as
32:31
well Probably a safety thing for women that'd
32:33
be driving about picking up
32:35
guys is probably not the
32:37
safest occupation That's why there's bullet proof glass
32:40
in it They'll have a chib in there,
32:42
a cab That would be a good TV
32:45
show where they fight each other in a cab Techy chib
32:48
Or just you know you get members of the public
32:50
like gladiators And they're like you're going to fight
32:52
a tax so you don't know what he's got What
32:55
he's holding, who it is Can I hang?
32:57
Brilliant And you just flag it down and
32:59
start some beef with him That would be
33:01
the series of like animal themed taxi drivers
33:03
who are like ragons the way they have
33:05
gladiators Like he's a guy called
33:07
Wolf He's fucking powerful
33:09
and you need to go against him But
33:12
yeah every hundreds of taxis like through McIntire
33:14
or something like that, that's special What
33:18
if you get to pick your taxi depending on the
33:20
advert that they've got on their cab You
33:23
get to pick your friends I like C21
33:26
Just one person, you're like what I see
33:28
He will not remember C21, there
33:30
is no way I'm
33:34
so, I'm so gusty Ben Amazing
33:39
Is there a meditation on the
33:41
meaninglessness of language? Because whatever
33:43
their hints suggested it could sort
33:45
of be I
33:49
think you could just pick it, I'm going to go
33:51
for this guy He's got a yellow
33:54
taxi and he's advertising something like
33:56
that He's advertising
33:58
a yellow PGS He's no left act taxi
34:00
for 20 years. I'm
34:03
gonna take that guy. The taxis
34:05
have a thing where if somebody's
34:07
violent in the back, it
34:10
goes out, it's like a panic button, and it
34:12
goes out to all the other taxis. So every
34:14
other taxi that's not with somebody in the
34:16
back, then comes, you know, you would
34:18
just drive to a bit of spare ground with this
34:20
guy kicking fuck out your taxi in the back. All
34:23
the other taxis will pull up, and everybody kicks fuck out
34:25
the guy. That's
34:28
what we want to get. That's what we want to do. We
34:31
want to get two wrestlers in the back of that cab, and
34:34
then when all the taxis come, that's
34:36
when the fun starts. It's like a
34:38
warrior. It's a slightly different show. It's
34:40
kind of like a battle royale. Yeah.
34:44
It's like a punctual. It's a
34:46
bit Mad Max, though, and it was two
34:48
wrestlers are just skating out of the back
34:50
here, taxiing all the other taxis, and I'm
34:52
like, oh, I knew I should have went
34:55
for my chaps. I like the idea that
34:57
it's two wrestlers, and the next guy tagged
34:59
him, and then they needed to go and
35:01
fuck the guy. They came out
35:03
either door. They
35:06
made it. One of them's like the
35:09
refract. Ripping it off. Yeah,
35:12
it's quite cool, isn't it? You
35:15
know, it's quite an individualistic job being a taxi
35:17
driver, but it's nice that they have this kind
35:20
of community version of violence, you
35:22
know? I
35:24
don't know if it's nice. It's sweet. It
35:27
makes my heart sing. The idea that,
35:30
oh, I'm out here by myself, but if
35:32
I need my pals, and
35:34
it's not necessarily people that you know, it's just we all
35:36
have the vested interest that people should
35:38
be kicking fuck out taxis. At that point,
35:40
they're all dying of heart attacks, man. They're
35:43
all fighting for, fighting for, fighting wrestlers, pumping
35:45
them as well, probably. What
35:47
if they're facing the button, and somebody's like,
35:49
oh, that guy's pressed the button, and
35:52
the other guy's like, it's about
35:54
to help, wanker. We'll keep 10 minutes. We'll
35:57
keep it, please, man. That
36:00
fucking one man. Give it
36:02
10 minutes, let him get a bite of your
36:04
leathering but we'll make sure he doesn't get killed.
36:06
Yeah. Sepulchral. Yeah? And him. Yeah.
36:09
He was sick of the little props wasn't he? But
36:11
then they were like, well... What
36:13
would you think that's gonna do for us? Just
36:16
a true story. He went deep.
36:18
Uh huh. Went deep as a jewel
36:20
thief. I don't know. I
36:23
like it. I don't think I've seen it. I've only seen the bit
36:25
in the Rushmore. Well
36:27
they kind of remake it. It's like
36:29
teenagers in a school make a kind
36:31
of high school play business epical. I've
36:34
only seen that. I haven't seen the actual... What
36:36
one? Yeah. What? It's a film
36:39
where about this wee guy called Max Fisher
36:41
who... He's like
36:43
a teenager prodigy...
36:48
...seater maker. And
36:50
he makes versions of like...
36:53
Sepical and... Apocalypse now for his
36:55
high school musical basically. How much
36:57
of the budget did the drama
37:00
department have? Well it was
37:02
a private school, isn't it? Of course it is. Of
37:05
course it is. Can you talk about his, you know, private
37:08
schools and the unfilled bias that
37:10
you get? I talked about that in my show, don't you
37:12
worry about it after it covered for all three of us.
37:15
There's a thing isn't there where like
37:17
urban dystopia
37:20
largely comes from... There was a period
37:22
round about the late 70s, early 80s
37:24
in New York where there was
37:27
a huge budget in crisis... And
37:30
that created things
37:32
like... There was no garbage
37:35
collections and there was like... There
37:37
was subways were really unsafe. And
37:39
like any time you see a movie now...
37:42
And in fact most depictions of Gotham since
37:44
then would be like...
37:47
All stuff from that. People in a subway
37:49
late at night getting menaced by a gang.
37:51
They're all from this really specific kind of...
37:53
How you read them? Like two or three
37:56
years. Like the opening credits to the equalizer.
37:59
What was the name of that one? He was like an avenging angel or something. Bernie.
38:01
There was a guy who they said can
38:03
you give us five dollars. There
38:12
was a bunch of them. He said
38:14
I've got five dollars for all of you and pulled a
38:16
gun and shot them all. Something. But
38:18
several of them in the back. So
38:20
they seemed like no, great. And then they
38:23
had these things like the what they
38:25
called the subway angels. And they would go
38:28
and guard subway carriages. They had a
38:30
bit of a look at them. Yeah,
38:33
they were kind of slightly camp militia. Public
38:36
camp or militia. New York
38:38
vested men with the race. But that
38:41
period of history
38:45
has for some reason
38:47
completely indelibly marked the public
38:49
imagination. I think that is because a
38:52
lot of the TV programmes around about that time
38:54
were based around New York. And
38:56
I think that was the image that was
38:59
just constantly projected. So I can certainly think
39:01
about that time like the
39:03
opening credits to Kegme and Lacey. Hell Street
39:05
Blues. All this kind of stuff
39:08
of this kind of real inner
39:10
city menace. The equaliser. Like
39:12
we were saying like the women on the left and the
39:15
guy getting on it. Getting in and stuff
39:17
like that. And it was all
39:19
kind of there's a lot of sex crimes and a lot of
39:21
robberies and stuff. And they could have feet of you on the
39:23
subway. That was always very visible
39:25
in those programmes as well. And they came to
39:28
a portrayal of certain types of people who lived
39:30
within the city. And I think
39:32
it was so... It
39:35
was projected so much onto television
39:37
and quite iconic television programmes at
39:39
that time. Which at that time
39:41
people had four channels and everybody
39:43
watched all those shows. So
39:46
it's probably just came all
39:48
the way through. Do you know what I mean? Like generationally.
39:52
But why it's just an accident of
39:54
history really that it isn't Glasgow
39:56
1988. Could
39:58
be Glasgow now. films are
40:01
just like a
40:03
corporate mascot for the city. A
40:06
garden festival where a guy
40:08
gets his leg blown off in the opening fireworks
40:10
ceremony and pubs
40:13
starting to do naturals. In
40:16
hot nuts. You
40:32
were stuck in mumbles
40:35
recently outside Swansea and
40:38
we watched The Batman. Were they
40:42
the Michael Keaton? No, they
40:44
were The Batman which is the robot, we
40:46
had a robot pants in season. We watched
40:48
a few films, all-star robot pants. When they
40:50
filmed up at the necropolis or something like
40:52
Glasgow and Liverpool and when that came out
40:54
there there were so many
40:56
articles from American film
40:58
journalists like we have never seen
41:00
a Gotham so
41:03
grimy and dirty
41:05
and broken as
41:07
this because the last couple of other
41:09
films were all filmed in Toronto in
41:12
Chicago which are quite
41:14
bad for crime but they're
41:16
nothing like post-industrial
41:18
Glasgow people are like oh everything just
41:20
looks like it doesn't work and it's
41:22
disgusting and it was like
41:24
well yeah you know you should come see it
41:26
in real life it's it's
41:28
shite. We've got like standing for like Filly
41:30
Delphine World War Z, a city that Bruce
41:34
Springsteen was singing about that's how
41:36
bad that town is. I love
41:38
the chicken man in Philly last
41:40
night. I had the last take
41:42
away from Chicago though, one
41:44
of my favourite films was filmed in
41:47
Chicago, The Blues Brothers, great,
41:49
love it and probably
41:52
the first kind of comedy film that
41:54
I watched like on my own but
41:56
do you know that Chicago is
41:58
actually the plan
42:01
after the Great Fire, do you know it's
42:03
based in Glasgow? The Great Fire. Well,
42:05
yeah, the fact that the river went through it and
42:07
it doped. Okay. So they were like,
42:09
right, how do we rebuild this city? What's the closest city
42:12
we've got to it? And it was
42:14
Glasgow. And I feel that Chicago has won
42:16
that fight very convincingly. Eh, it's
42:18
sort of, erm, Gotham
42:20
in. Hmm? Glasgow
42:22
in the way. Cos Gotham in the comics is Chicago.
42:25
Right. So, is it?
42:27
Eh, so yeah, after
42:30
all that in, em, Chicago's actually
42:32
got a bigger Jewish population than New
42:34
York because when they were
42:36
rebuilding the city as European Jews
42:38
were kinda arriving and it was like, right,
42:41
we need migrants, where do we need them to
42:43
work? We need them to go to Chicago. We
42:46
need them to help build up Chicago. And that's
42:48
where a lot of migrants get sent. So it's
42:50
actually probably, traditionally, a more diverse
42:52
city than New York. And
42:54
then that's where we got Hamburgers from. Apopay.
42:59
Apostritto. Germany. Germany.
43:02
America. Germanic society. Have I
43:04
gone on this rant before? No.
43:09
Really? I've got to say this all
43:12
the time. America
43:15
makes a lot more sense when you realise
43:17
it's essentially a German society. Mm-hmm. They
43:19
almost chose German as their first language. Mm-hmm.
43:21
Erm, loads of German people emigrated there.
43:23
I would argue all the normal ones.
43:27
Mm-hmm. And loads of stuff. But then in the
43:29
1950s, all the bad ones. Yeah,
43:31
they had to sweep up later. But
43:35
lots of the stuff they have, the
43:37
weird brass bands they have at, like,
43:39
high school graduation or just marching through
43:41
the town, the towns you go to
43:43
where they go, we're home of
43:45
the aubergines or whatever,
43:47
you know, and they have a massive,
43:49
like, boosterism kind of thing about their
43:52
town. That's all German. The work ethic
43:54
is German and they are
43:56
like white German Protestants. Mm-hmm. Who
43:59
are their biggest movies to? you know, Sandra
44:01
Bullock, she's German,
44:03
right? She speaks German. See
44:06
who else? Well, she speaks German. She speaks
44:08
German, because she's a German, yeah? I
44:11
tell you who else? Bruce Willis. Yeah.
44:14
You know? That's what they're
44:17
doing. That's what they're doing. They're expressing
44:20
ideas of how to be a
44:22
new German in cinema. So like
44:24
Bruce Willis in
44:26
Die Hard, he's
44:29
saying, like you don't have to be like the
44:31
old German, like Hans Gruber, who
44:34
wants money, who wants actual physical
44:36
things. The thing that you
44:38
want is what the new American German
44:41
desires. Sensation. Why
44:43
would you want these pieces of paper when
44:46
you could be throwing people off buildings and
44:48
having a really weird psychosexual drama with
44:50
your ex-wife? Yeah. And so on. You
44:53
know? He's saying, enter
44:55
the spectacle as an American
44:57
German. And the reason Die Hard
45:00
is a Christmas film, is
45:03
a thing people miss. Die Hard is a
45:05
Christmas film because it's the story of Alien,
45:09
as told through the eyes of the Alien. So
45:11
he's crawling about the vents, killing everybody in
45:13
the building. Yeah? So
45:18
there's actually the music. When the last body
45:20
rises up in Die Hard, they've not killed
45:22
one of the henchmen. He runs up and
45:25
then black cop shoots him. Yeah. They use
45:27
the music from Alien. This
45:29
is exactly music from Alien because it's
45:31
the story of Alien. How
45:34
does that make it a Christmas film? Because Alien
45:36
is the story of a virgin birth. I
45:39
feel as if I've just watched a
45:43
10 minute reel on TikTok. And
45:46
I'm like, I am never getting that team
45:48
back. I
45:50
feel like I've found the YouTube channel of a man
45:53
who has killed himself because
45:55
nobody understood him. It's the
45:57
Germans! I
46:01
decided to face her girls but...
46:03
But it's the same like all
46:05
your kind of second generation American Jews,
46:07
like there's so many of them with
46:09
any like Broadway and stuff and it
46:12
was like this collaboration between homosexuals
46:15
and Jews who then ultimately wrote some
46:17
of the best Christmas songs that we've
46:19
ever had and it
46:21
was that kind of Bavarian Christmas
46:25
influence. Yes and their Christmas thing
46:27
also German. Christmas is German, the
46:29
tree is Prince Albert,
46:32
it's not the tree over. Who
46:34
was the biggest star throughout my
46:37
childhood and teenage years? Arnold
46:39
Schwarzenegger. Wasn't even an actor,
46:42
most famous actor in the world. The
46:45
star of German. I was Austrian. I
46:47
know but that's pretty much German. It
46:50
was so... It is though. It is
46:52
German. What was going on with that
46:54
period of time where like John Claude
46:57
found Adam and Arnold Schwarzenegger
47:01
were all like action stars but they would never
47:03
bring up the fact that they had
47:05
weird voices. Oh
47:08
and like the late 80s that would have been,
47:10
wouldn't fit back to being like your late 80s.
47:12
Yeah, Kindergarten Cop, so that's kind of the early
47:15
90s. Kindergarten Cop. You
47:17
know? Where was that filmed? Where was that filmed?
47:20
Where? In the most German.
47:22
In the most German city
47:24
in America where a whole
47:26
bunch of Germans had gone and settled. What city is
47:28
that? Kind
47:30
of tough to look up. Right. But
47:33
look up the history of that
47:35
town because it was totally settled by
47:37
Germans. And the movie Kindergarten Cop is
47:39
just basically a template for how to
47:41
be a German. Kindergarten.
47:44
Kindergarten, the German word. Exactly.
47:47
Kindergarten, the garden of the children. Oh!
47:50
Wow. So
47:52
what we're seeing is that
47:55
the Allies won World War II but
47:58
Germany have really won because they've
48:01
infiltrated America. They infiltrated
48:03
America long before World War II.
48:05
And in fact, they had to
48:07
boond at the start of World
48:09
War II. They had to go and round up and crack
48:11
all these heads because there were so many German sympathizers
48:14
in America. Wow.
48:20
I mean, do you think America... Tell me
48:22
how German that town is, Christopher. It's
48:25
pretty. We've got something called the
48:27
Astoria Meglar Bridge, which sounds pretty.
48:30
Have you ever had history of the town? OK, I'll read
48:32
about this. It's the time that we met. I
48:34
think it was a fur trapper. Yeah, there was a lot
48:36
of fur trappers going at the time. That's
48:39
where the Germans went. I went
48:41
and left and fulfilled the most German place possible. And then a
48:43
couple of hundred years, we'll do a movie about how to be
48:45
German. It's not a cool one. It's a
48:47
German name. And we'll have a German bloke in it. Yeah. I
48:51
love Aaron Schwarzenegger. I know he was a
48:53
big Republican and stuff, but I just think
48:56
he's an inspirational figure. Was he not quite
48:58
groovy? He was jagging
49:00
a few housekeepers. Was
49:02
it consensual? It
49:06
was always a power dynamic, isn't it?
49:08
OK, but... I
49:10
don't know that you can fully consent to
49:12
someone who's physically powerful. Is that... It's
49:15
like saying, can I consent to the
49:17
sea? Do you
49:19
know what I mean? You just dive into the road
49:21
in swells and then ride in a great e-tot. Well,
49:24
you picked your trunk, son. Quite
49:26
a defence in court. You
49:29
cannot consent to things. Think
49:34
of the sea, your honor. Does
49:37
one consent to life? I
49:40
did not ask to be born yet. I am not fired. Hello,
49:55
my dear. I
49:57
don't ever mention the right sense. It's
50:00
always like Jean-Claude Van Damme is like a father of
50:02
two who works for the police in Pennsylvania
50:05
and he's like Can
50:07
barely speak English really? Why
50:11
is he doing the splits all the time? That's father too. My
50:14
dad never did the splits the entire time I knew him.
50:16
No him? I
50:20
don't hang out with him all the time. Maybe he
50:22
is doing the splits over again. That's so on second.
50:26
Horrible to go home. What about
50:29
split-sevember? Do you know what
50:31
I mean? Instead of all these like growing a moustache
50:33
I'm not a drink, anyway. You just work on the
50:35
splits. Are
50:38
you going to respond to me for split-sevember? There'd
50:43
be a ways men rendered in third
50:45
time. That may be a good thing.
50:47
A torn in half like a like
50:49
a wishbone from a turkey belly. And
50:51
that is how we deal with population
50:54
control. But that's what we
50:56
raise money for for impotent men
50:58
with Major
51:00
ball injuries. A Kimbo. I'm
51:03
raising money for ball injuries during
51:05
split-sevember. Yeah, splits
51:07
for ember. You just get to fold
51:10
in chairs in your office and you just
51:12
try for a week and I
51:15
think you would deserve more money than somebody who just
51:17
didn't shave the top lip. You
51:20
know? Fair. Split-sevember.
51:24
I don't know how much effort it takes to
51:26
grow a moustache. Sure does. And
51:29
I don't know how much effort it takes to do
51:32
the splits. So I feel that it would be wrong
51:34
for me commenting this. God,
51:37
that made it look so easy, but there was always
51:39
a bit of every film where
51:41
the you know, he'd sleep with some
51:44
lady and then she'd wake up in the morning like,
51:46
ah, and she'd look over and he's like in a
51:48
thong doing the splits. Yeah, just
51:51
like, what's he doing? Go
51:53
get a coffee or something, make it a breakfast. Doing
51:56
the splits? That's weird. I
52:00
don't know how many women would seem that attractive than
52:02
a man. So this is something
52:04
you're looking for. I'll make sure. I
52:08
really entered pagan I suppose. I
52:10
think that was the subtext. Subtext
52:15
is peg me. As he
52:18
represents Europe,
52:21
France and so on. Vellans.
52:27
Correctly, in my opinion. And
52:29
you know the goodies are Germans. It's
52:34
been a very American episode. Or
52:37
German episode. Yeah. Do you
52:39
think Arnold Schwarzenegger would be a worse presidential
52:41
candidate than either of the two people who
52:43
are actually going to do it? Sadly
52:46
no. Like you still look back like
52:48
in the late 80s right Gore Vidal said
52:52
you know the next election would
52:54
be between General Norman Schwartzkopf who
52:56
led the first require and Arnold
52:58
Schwarzenegger was you'd say the joke.
53:00
I know you're like Schwarzenegger would
53:02
be like way better. Yeah. Compared
53:05
to Baidon. Imagine when he
53:07
gets to Baidon state of mind
53:09
and then just comes out thinking
53:11
he's Robocopf. I
53:13
would love that. You
53:16
were the terminator and he's like no Robocopf. I'm
53:19
not Robocopf. But he was. Obviously
53:23
not. I'm
53:25
thinking Robocopf from. In
53:28
the last action hero. Arnold
53:31
Schwarzenegger is like an actor
53:34
but then he comes from a film in
53:37
every life but he's a kind of
53:39
Schwarzenegger. He's great. He's a
53:41
guy with a fake eyeball. Charles
53:45
Dance. Charles Dance yeah. Really
53:47
good. Charles Dance. He
53:49
was also Game of
53:52
Thrones. Charles Dance
53:54
played the dad. He's been in
53:56
quite a lot. Oh Charlie boy. I
53:58
guess people say. those villains aren't
54:01
because they're English, it's
54:03
because they're intellectual. Do
54:05
you know what I mean? And that's what you're supposed to
54:07
be afraid of. People
54:09
who, you know,
54:11
know more than you. Whereas
54:13
the heroes are pretty instinctive. Right,
54:18
right. So it's the knowledge
54:20
they've got the fear of. It's
54:23
a good book by Chuck Clusterman called I
54:25
Wear the Black Hat About Villainy and it
54:27
says that a villain can't be stupid
54:30
to be a villain. He can have evil stupid
54:32
people, but a villain has to know what they're
54:34
doing is wrong and then do it anyway because
54:36
they may have this on a timeline. So you
54:38
have to, you know, George W Bush wasn't a
54:40
villain. He was terrible,
54:42
but he was too daft probably.
54:45
Whereas somebody like Scar
54:49
from The Lion King, he
54:53
had that degree of intelligence and obviously he had
54:55
enough to come back to him. He
54:58
was an English man. Even though his
55:00
brother was American. Quite
55:04
a cruel name. A deformed lion
55:06
called Scar. No wonder he was such an
55:08
asshole. I
55:11
didn't like Black Panther in that it had the
55:13
plot of The Lion King. But
55:21
the plot of The Lion King is
55:23
Hamlet, isn't it? Well, is it? Is
55:27
it Hamlet or Macbeth? It's
55:29
one of the Shakespearean plays. It's
55:32
the thing of like the dad who dies so the son
55:34
comes in and his uncle takes over. Well, why would it
55:36
be like that? That's not another royal family. That would be
55:38
like, that would be a lot
55:40
of things. That would be... Smo-n-or-key. Um,
55:45
Oedipus? Yeah. Maybe a
55:47
girl, I mean that would have been a terrible
55:49
Lion King plot. You could miss the lion shagging
55:52
his lion mum stuck in a... He's got a
55:54
lot of his own eyes out in the final
55:56
number. I
56:02
don't think it's really
56:04
that tightly Hamlet because
56:10
Hamlet's dad doesn't get trampled to
56:20
death by Buffalo. He's already dead. Right.
56:23
That's good. We're just trying to think
56:25
of more German
56:28
stuff. Sausages. Oh,
56:32
whoa, don't get me
56:35
started on that. Hot dogs. Which
56:37
were called Frankfurters but they changed
56:39
it. Yeah. You know. Hamburgers.
56:43
Hamburgers. Apple striddle. Apple
56:45
pie. I'm totally on board with
56:47
this. Okay, okay. And then they went back and
56:49
done the cleanup in the 1950s, late
56:51
40s, 1950s, and made a change in paperclip.
56:54
They were so racist that the Nazis looked into the Jim
56:58
Crow laws and said, this is good, but
57:01
it's too extreme. Wow.
57:05
Yeah, do you know this is the case? Yeah. It's
57:07
the case. It's the case. It's
57:09
the case. It's the case. It's the case. It's
57:11
the case. It's the case.
57:14
It's the case. It's extreme. Wow.
57:17
Yeah, do you know this? No. The
57:19
Nazis looked as they're casting around to formalize their philosophy
57:21
of the Jim Crow laws in America and they said,
57:23
well, we can't have, you know, Jim Crow was the
57:25
one drop rule. I mean, if
57:28
you had one drop of black blood, you were black. So
57:30
if your great, great grandfather's black, you were there for black.
57:32
And they went, well, we can't have that. We can't see
57:34
if someone's great, great grandfather was Jewish. They're Jewish. It's just
57:37
not gonna... It's
57:39
just too much. We are
57:41
blood scientists, but... Yeah,
57:44
it was two races for the Nazis. Much
57:47
of the... You know, liked it. I'm
57:50
sure they were like, yeah, you're taking that too far. Wink,
57:52
wink. It
57:54
was the anniversary of Malcolm X's
57:56
death yesterday. And
57:59
there was a quote during the race. which was Malcolm
58:02
X is something like I
58:04
can't feel any mercy or compassion for
58:07
a society that crushes people and
58:09
then Punishes them for being for
58:12
not being able to stand up. That's cool
58:15
and like I I Think
58:19
it's almost The opposite
58:21
of that. I think it's a
58:23
society that crushes people and
58:25
then punishes them For standing
58:27
up. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah
58:29
So like the moment if you go off
58:31
and die in your fucking house and
58:34
fucking, you know struggle through all this stuff They put
58:36
you through they'll leave you alone but
58:38
the moment you stand up the moment you
58:40
start organizing Union or Protest
58:43
or anything and was he shot Malcolm
58:45
X he's shot It's
58:48
for a African American unity,
58:50
you know, cuz the moment you start coming
58:52
together and resisting stuff. That's when they crush you
58:54
They're quite happy with you being crushed. Yeah It's
58:59
such an individualistic society that they're just pitting
59:01
everybody against each other and we're so polarized
59:03
without people going Well, I don't agree with
59:05
you never seen but I agree with
59:08
you quite a lot so why don't we try and come together
59:10
and find a middle ground and try and Direct
59:13
change upward whereas instead we're just
59:15
all rolling about in the sawdust
59:17
scrapping with each other I
59:19
believe in this you believe in that
59:22
you're wrong. I'm right and there's no
59:24
anything so of power It's
59:26
just flipping and slipping and slipping away and
59:28
we can't bring any former reasonable change because
59:30
they admit so they're just gonna crushes What
59:34
you describing is the loss of solidarity? the
59:37
idea of solidarity liquid taxi
59:39
driver I'm
59:42
sorry that comes with knowing okay somebody
59:44
fucks with me. Let's go to that
59:46
best background Maybe they're
59:48
two wrestlers. Maybe it's an old lady who's confused
59:50
that we will kick fuck out them. Why are
59:53
these guys? Mexicans wearing masks.
59:55
I Don't
59:57
know thing
1:00:00
you know you're being Haruka ran it A
1:00:04
couple of banditos Yeah,
1:00:07
so that is
1:00:10
brilliant I'm
1:00:13
happy
1:00:16
with that, we made an episode about New
1:00:18
York and stuff I think
1:00:20
there's some interesting information pops up in these
1:00:23
things Yeah people are wearing a lot about
1:00:26
Germany She'd
1:00:35
do more of Malcolm X quotes One
1:00:37
of them in a week? Malcolm
1:00:40
X said this one, he's just dating me and
1:00:42
said this is wrong He wasn't wrong He
1:00:46
could show up and do these
1:00:48
later, so how fucking right was
1:00:50
he? Yeah, he's just inverted now
1:00:52
isn't it It's all shit, it's
1:00:56
all of 80 shit People
1:00:58
say that in the X-Men, Professor
1:01:00
X is Martin Luther King But
1:01:02
Magneto is Malcolm X Confusing
1:01:04
to call him Professor X then Yeah
1:01:07
that was a weird thing Maybe
1:01:12
that was the switcher who? It
1:01:16
was a kind of, I was talking about that recently because it
1:01:18
was like X-Men was In
1:01:21
the 60s it was a metaphor for the civil
1:01:23
rights movement It was people who were different, they
1:01:25
were being persecuted for being different They were mutants
1:01:27
who can shoot lasers out their eyes but they
1:01:30
are different, they were persecuted for that Then
1:01:32
when they made the films in the 2000s Talked
1:01:35
to Ian McKellen and he was like there's going
1:01:38
to be a bit where the mutant comes out
1:01:40
to his family And they're like oh could you
1:01:42
just try not being a mutant? And
1:01:45
he's like that's not really how it
1:01:47
works so it became a metaphor for
1:01:49
the gay experience Whereas now, I was
1:01:51
saying a lot of
1:01:53
very right wing people are into the
1:01:56
X-Men And it's because they see the
1:01:58
X-Men as being about what it's like to
1:02:00
be a white Nazi, because you're like, we
1:02:02
are the next perfect stepper human evolution, but
1:02:04
we're being persecuted for being perfect, and that's
1:02:07
how a Nazi would perceive you early. It's
1:02:09
a good story. I am
1:02:11
very hooked into the gay experience.
1:02:14
What a description. This is how I'm going
1:02:16
to now say I love my life. I
1:02:19
might say loving the gay experience. I might
1:02:21
say loving the gay experience. It sounds like
1:02:23
I gay, bad and blackpool, but I
1:02:26
am fucking all in. Just
1:02:28
feel like, so Susie, yeah, I'm married to
1:02:30
my wife, so very much
1:02:32
a gay experience. I
1:02:35
love that. I love that. I love
1:02:38
that. Can't you take the piss off? No,
1:02:40
I love that. The old state idea of
1:02:42
like... I love that. You sympathise with the
1:02:44
press by making a metaphor where they are
1:02:46
a mutant. Yeah, a dangerous mutant who could
1:02:48
end the world. Like half the X-Men could
1:02:50
all end the world if they just figured
1:02:52
out like, oh, I can turn oxygen
1:02:54
into ice. The world's covered
1:02:56
in oxygen. Let's just kill everybody now
1:02:58
when you're ice age. But
1:03:01
he's too busy fucking, you know, skating about.
1:03:04
Loving the gay speedies. He's cleaning up. I
1:03:06
know this is the true of a lot
1:03:08
of superheroes, but who's cleaning up after that,
1:03:10
