The Nameless Wonder:

Harry Potter mouse got your number Anthony starkov. Call me, maybe.

Ben:

Depends. If you listen to the podcast.

Mark:

That's true. I'm not sure how much actually you know.

James:

I'm aware I'm aware how this **** goes.

Speaker 3

OK.

James:

**** is.

Ben:

Definitely the correct term to use there.

The Nameless Wonder:

They're so wonderfully ill informed.

Mark:

Hi and welcome to wonderfully informed the podcast where we convert interesting, funny or informative things from our week into quicks, put them into a randomizer, take our best shot at guessing what they're about, and then jump into a discussion. Join us for some rather unpredictable chats this week on wonderfully ill informed I mark.

Ben:

I'm.

Tom:

I'm Ben. I'm Tom, and this week we have a guest. We're doing another guest episode. We really enjoy. Edit last time and we have another friend. The show. And that person is James Robinson. Say hello, James.

James:

Hello, James. There we go.

Ben:

That's exactly what random. Yeah.

James:

Yeah, yeah, running joke. Come on.

Tom:

Right, Mark, what's the question, man? We.

Mark:

Say yeah, I've got a question which I'm going to start with this one and we we can maybe go to the second question because this one's going to be a crazy, potentially, yeah, well, it could be a one word answer or or kind of A1 phrase answer. What would be the coolest or best thing to attack? A pressure washer. In real life or on a video game? You again what?

Ben:

I wonder what gave you this idea, Mark.

Tom:

I might have told the boys that you've up.

James:

Playing that game, James. Oh, well, let me let me jump in immediately and tell you some of the things that I've had for most fun.

Mark:

Yeah, you can speak from experience.

James:

Yeah, I've recently completed a private jet. Oh, wow. That was. That was taxing. Yeah, it was. It was full of oil. It was full of.

Tom:

As if it did.

James:

Oil it took a while. It was very dirty. What else have I done? House a trained.

Tom:

It's just the. Though surely you can't can't go inside with the house 'cause you get the house wet? Is it just?

James:

Like Windows and that. Well, yeah. No, it was the. The job was exclusively just to do the outside just to get rid of all the ectoplasm, you know, all the ghostly sort of liquids. That was everywhere.

Tom:

Oh yeah, yeah. What? What? What happens when you've completed the job? You get to go into?

James:

The next level. Yeah. Yeah. You get, like, a good you. Give yourself a pat on the. And you just move. On with you it's like.

The Nameless Wonder:

Did it.

James:

Yep, and you get to see what other fantastic things you can choose to to claim in answer to your original question, hypothetically, of course. Remark. The most fun thing that I could think to Jet Wash.

Ben:

Yeah.

James:

Like realistically, like how fun would it be to jet wash like I don't know the Burj Khalifa like it like a like a head measure. Tall building. Yeah, I'm satisfying. Would it be? I don't know what the.

Mark:

For. Something. That.

Tom:

Burge Kalifa is no the tallest.

James:

Building in the world, that one is a big **** *** one in Dubai. Yeah, like how satisfying would that be to get to 100% cleaning the biggest building in the world.

Tom:

Don't know, dude, do you not think you would just like **** your pants trying to clean something that big like.

James:

You need a big ladder loads of.

Tom:

Stuff finished. ******* big ladder, mate, if you're.

James:

Crane that's sort of on the far on the top end of things in terms of like the most satisfying thing to jet wash. But I think like the most fun thing to.

Tom:

Do a crane? Yeah, that.

James:

Wash would be like just. A really annoying child.

Speaker 8

Dying.

Speaker 7

Yes.

The Nameless Wonder:

The Nameless Wonder:

My childhood is ruined.

Tom:

What do we think, boys?

Ben:

So this is presumably. About a character or a a thing from your childhood.

Tom:

I mean, it's not it's can I just say that this is just a quote from the thing, it's not actually my childhood. Yeah, because it. Yeah, it might not be. It might be a bit older than my childhood. Did you recently find out, Father Christmas wasn't real?

Speaker 10

So it's not.

Tom:

Basically you you probably actually have seen it as most quotes that I bring someone has seen that. But yeah, basically someone's just bleeped out certain words of Harry Potter quotes from the film. And I thought it was quite funny.

Ben:

I I actually very nearly bought this myself.

Speaker 11

It's.

Tom:

A this episode.

Ben:

Russell, I was like, this is hilarious.

Speaker 10

Yeah.

Speaker 12

To do whatever we.

Speaker

In animals.

Tom:

With any luck, this could work with today the biggest of my career.

Ben:

Not.

Speaker 8

You my cat.

Speaker 13

Training all up. In case you ever need to yourselves, as I myself have done on countless occasions.

Speaker 10

Sure, the crab and Goyal.

Speaker 7

Please. Curiously, Lucy, several of them were under the impression that you would family.

Ben:

Conference.

Speaker 13

Now you wait here and try some this work so we can get. Through.

Speaker 9

I'll go on and getting.

Speaker 8

I wonder if I could do that.

James:

Well, very good. The funny thing is, when you as soon as you bleep something, it it makes any word sound.

Speaker 7

That was excellent.

Tom:

Like a swear word. Yeah, I was trying to think if we could, like. Well, I can bothered. But I was thinking it'd go back through at some point on some of our episodes and just randomly.

Mark:

Yeah.

Tom:

Things out.

Ben:

I did bleep that one thing that you said, and I think it does without any context of what you actually said does make it seem like you said something much worse. I don't remember what you said, but. Yeah.

Tom:

No, no, right, because I probably didn't listen to it. All right. OK.

Ben:

My favourite one of that is Ron. You stay here and **** on. Rock.

Tom:

I just like it. It is something I like. Can I ****?

James:

The funny thing is, when you as soon as you find something, it makes any word sound like a. Word I'm.

Mark:

Going to stop this one and we can maybe go to the second question because this one.

Tom:

Is going to be and this week we have another and that person is James Robinson. Say hello James.

Mark:

Tom and you then got James and then. The question.

Ben:

What Mark said is a better way to do it, though. We've ourselves and then you the guest.

Speaker 14

How's strike censorship? We think new movies are bland and boring, so we have developed a new and innovative way to keep things interesting. These are patented technology to actively bleep the wrong words. So your favourite movies go from PG to OM bucking. Why watch a new film when you can make your childhood favourites hilariously inappropriate?

Speaker 15

I.

Speaker 14

Strike censorship. Ruining family movie night. Deep at a time.

Speaker 3

1.

The Nameless Wonder:

I said you buy 1, you get 1 free.

James:

I should say in the proper way, I said. Jabar, 1. You get 1 free.

Ben:

This sounds very familiar.

James:

Yeah, here's some here's a nostalgia rabbit hole that I fell into the other day. Right? So I was on.

Mark:

This is something to do with double glazing.

James:

This well, this specific example definitely refers to that, but I suppose it refers to a wider topic in a sort of an A forgotten topic of of years gone by, which for me. Was really memorable. Phone numbers and jingles from TV and radio adverts that you all remember from when you were a kid, so this one you buy 1 you get 1 free when you I don't know. The awful northern accent.

Ben:

Yeah, right.

James:

I remember you pay for your your front. You get your back done free. That was an addition on this.

Ben:

Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Tom:

Was that a window clean one.

James:

It was, yeah, it was like a window.

Mark:

Yeah. If I for your front. You.

Ben:

Comfort young for a year.

Speaker 15

Get your back done for.

James:

That right, so that that led me to this, this fantastic Reddit article about sort of memorable TV and phone numbers that have become like embedded in in your memory. The reason this came to me is because out of nowhere, something sprung into my head. And I remembered this melody and it goes 09011105010.

Speaker 3

None.

James:

It's an awful it's. Awful Jingle. It's an awful Jingle, but it's so memorable as well. And it. And so I thought, I'm going to type that into the Internet and find out about it. And there's actually a Reddit article of all of these. Amazing. So I figured I'm I'm going to. I'm going to sort of say the first bit of them to you and see if. Can remember what the end of it. Right. Oh.

Speaker

Same. OK.

James:

Really terrible. Let's go pass them down. Right. This one is another song 1A musical one. Yeah, it goes 0800 double oh.

Speaker 15

1066.

James:

My easy one easy one to start off with, right? Who remembers what that company was called?

Speaker 12

Yeah.

Ben:

Hastings directly.

James:

You know well in Ben. Yeah, it was indeed Hastings direct.

Speaker 10

The probably the only.

Ben:

Reason why I know the. Of Hastings was in 1066.

James:

Educational come on this trick.

Mark:

Yeah. Yeah, that's it.

Tom:

Could be based their their whole kind of name of their company off of the fact that they could have that as their number and like I feel like that wasn't just I feel like they thought about that first and was like yeah, let's call it this. So then we can do this and this and this. Oh, yeah. Or this we're stuck.

Speaker 15

Yeah, I wonder which can show us.

Speaker 8

I can. Work that different.

Mark:

Phone number. I guess we'd better call ourselves Hastings Direct. There's no other way.

James:

Yeah, there are others that aren't that aren't that aren't melodies or anything like that. There's one that I that I heard and it it must be so old because the the phone number involves saying the county of the area code where it's from. I'll explain, it goes. It goes. First class windows. Don't deliberate Chelmsford 226688.

Ben:

I remember that one.

James:

Classic.

Mark:

Yeah, man, that was that was a good one. That was.

James:

A banger? There was this one. Marketing genius, 0800282820 for an insurance company with an owl as the logo.

Ben:

Nine, yeah. Yeah, that.

James:

Chef kiss that one and then. Reminded me how awful the 118118 guys were for those incessant adverts on the TV all the time. Of those two moustachioed joggers. Do you?

Ben:

God yeah.

Tom:

Know who's a ****? That ******* **** that sings. Dog. Probably he's must moustache. What's his name?

Ben:

Compared.

James:

Yeah, yeah, go dot compare now they've ruined it. They added another syllable and it doesn't sound any good.

Speaker 15

Do they try and?

Mark:

Sing it still go dot. Compare. Yeah. Oh ****.

James:

I'm trying to find it anymore. Can you guys think? Oh, OK, now here's here's another fantastic one. I'll just say straight up what it is. Lombard, direct loans, personal loans, the value of which from 800 lbs to 15,000. So their phone number, of course 0800 two 15.

Speaker 15

Amazing. That's actually so clever.

James:

A genius. He would have thought of it. The number of people that have put this 09011105010 makes me feel like I'm not mental.

Ben:

I don't know what that one is. What is that one?

James:

Does anyone remember?

Mark:

No, that one doesn't.

James:

Was the. Was the phone number to find live?

Ben:

And kicking. Oh, OK. Do you guys remember the?

Speaker

Oh no.

Ben:

One from the I was it. The IT crowd that they'd changed the emergency number from 999.

Speaker

Oh.

Ben:

So like this really crazy long number.

Mark:

Yes. Yeah, it was like a marketing thing.

Ben:

Hang on, I'll see if I can. The link.

Tom:

From today, dialling 999 won't get you the emergency services and that's not the only thing that's changing. Nicer ambulances, faster response times and better looking drivers mean they're not just the emergency services. May your emergency services so.

Speaker 3

Remember the new number?

Tom:

That's right.

Ben:

So could. Could you imagine remembering that 20 years down the line?

James:

Well, plenty of people did actually, because that was that was on the Reddit quite often, actually. And I was like, what the **** is this massive number? Yeah, 0118909881999119725.

Speaker 12

Welcome to the Robinson Museum of Classic Jingles, where ear worms live on forever from your favourite catchy classics.

Speaker 13

Call first pass windows.

Speaker 8

Right jumps for double double suits double.

Speaker 12

To the jingles you hate to laugh.

Speaker 7

Go compare.

Speaker 12

You leave if your brain stuck on replay today and rediscover songs that drive you slowly in shame. Book in advance to avoid the cues.

The Nameless Wonder:

A real life blank suit.

James:

Are we going to work? With.

Tom:

Gets the blank here.

Ben:

Yeah. What do you think the blank is?

James:

A real life birthday suit.

Ben:

What cool suits are? They're out there.

Tom:

First suit. I don't know. So so.

Ben:

Close it is. It is a superhero.

Tom:

Batman suit Superman.

Ben:

No.

James:

We're like Iron Man, real life, Iron Man. So Iron Man. Yeah. Oh, dude. Yeah. Hell, yeah. Whoever has done this. Come on.

Ben:

So this is a.

Speaker 11

A Russian.

Ben:

I called Alex Birkin.

James:

I wanted him to be called Antoni Starkov.

Ben:

He he has been. Building a real life Iron Man suit day like a legit one.

Tom:

I think I've seen. I'm not. I've seen. This includes.

James:

Surely, surely only like the mechanics, that sort of make it sort of move and he can get into it, right? It can't fly.

Speaker 10

Well, he hasn't.

Ben:

Actually finished it yet? So maybe he'll fly. I don't know. But do you want to play the video for us, Tom, show you what he has already managed to do. It's it's still a work in progress.

Speaker 10

So this Russian engineer has just spent the. Six years. His garage creating a real life Iron Man suit and this is not some little fun gimmick RO has literally. Certain elements specifically for this suit, like hydrogen. Artificial muscles. You see those wires? They are connected to his muscles, so when he flexes, the suit moves with him and it only gets crazier because he created a real plasma of a pulser that creates such a quick hydrogen explosion that it can't even be captured on his camera. I'm just like the entire Iron Man suit is powered by Tony Stark's chess piece, so. Is this suit he created the world's first fully functional personal hydrogen reactor powers? There is plasma shots, the artificial muscles, and even this real hand that can reach. Apertures of over 3000°C. The hardest part about this is creating a really powerful continuous torch, also preventing it from blowing out, overheating and just burning his hand off. So he casually solved this by designing a system with multiple nozzles and then added an inbuilt cooling system that is literally. Totally stark at this point. So the question is which will be complete? 1st GTA6 or real life?

Speaker 11

OK.

Speaker 10

Iron Man suit.

Tom:

Yeah, man, that's joy. I've I've seen that video. I think I actually have that as one of my quotes on my quotes list, but yeah, that's we swapped. We swapped because you had the Harry Potter one.

Ben:

Oh really?

James:

As well, I reckon this Iron Man guy is gonna be bored of that suit after like 2 comic cons, yeah. He's. This is effort, mate. How long does it take for me to put on?

Ben:

I'm not sure that's the reason he's not doing it. Just. Ultimate cause fire.

Speaker 12

Going.

Tom:

To go there and literally just blow **** up.

Mark:

You think he would? Yeah. I was gonna say, do you think he actually wants to go out and become a vigilante?

James:

He's not doing it very sort of subtly is.

Mark:

He. No. Yeah. Hi. I'm Iron Man.

Tom:

Thizo if if it gets to a certain point, he'll just like the government will just confiscate it. That's. I think. If it's a weapon. Yeah. Yeah. Like, literally. Yeah. It's kind of stupid. Not stupid, it's.

James:

Listen, he's just gonna stand like on a stand in his, in his factory, in his workshop or whatever it was. Stand there and go. Oh, that was fun when I made that. Am I gonna make next? Yeah.

Tom:

But he's learning how to do like, that's pretty sick that he has invented that hydrogen wherever the **** it is.

James:

Thing that feels that feels like that should be more regulated.

Speaker

Yeah.

Tom:

I mean this this. Aren't they doing? Like hydrogen cars now? Yeah.

James:

They are, but I'm sure there's still a lot of like safety testing required with that sort of thing.

Tom:

I reckon that they will overtake lecture, just be binned off.

James:

How funny would that?

Tom:

Be I think that literally happened because of the. To how bad it is for the like the planet and **** with all the batteries. And like, yeah, God knows where else.

Mark:

Yeah, yeah, it'd be cool if if we could, like, skip over it if it ended up being like the laser disc of the the.

James:

Car. Yeah, yeah. Nice.

Speaker

Situation, yeah.

Tom:

The minidisc. Yeah. You heard about. There's that. So I'm trying to find the thing now. It's it was one of my quotes, but I just showed about this. The how they're like redoing the CD or some or some **** to make it stored. I don't know. **** loads more than what it should actually store.

Ben:

Yeah.

Speaker 16

The future of quantum computers might be in CD's. They were pretty popular in the 90s and early 2000s, but fell out because they couldn't hold a lot of storage, only up to like 8 gigs. Researchers are now suggesting adding cells of magnesium oxide because light bounces off of it in interesting. So. Want to add magnesium oxide as one. The layers. Because here's the thing, CDs are. By the light itself, meaning that the data being stored can't be smaller than the wavelengths of light, making it or reading it. Magnesium oxide crystals could help contribute to a technique called wavelength multiplexing, where instead of one laser of one type, different wavelengths of light are used together to create a more densely packed area of data. There's actually a lot of research going. The return of optical discs, it has the potential to store more data in smaller spaces than what we currently use. Now that and or adding more layers. In a technique called AIE Ddpr, and just making the discs thicker could bring a few feet of today's drives down to a single CD. Would be great for quantum computers. The paper is free to read online if you're into that sort of thing.

Tom:

I mean, apart from being a little bit of a annoying person, the information was quite.

Mark:

She was quite extra, yes.

Ben:

Our algorithms, Tom, I think are merging because I almost brought something from her today and this is also a video I've seen in the past. It was like, oh, this could. A cool thing.

James:

To show. Yeah. Do we do we think that those discs are gonna be sold in like packs of 25? One of those little plastic spindles.

Speaker

Yeah, that's.

Speaker 15

I love it.

Speaker 8

Do you need justice served, but the law's too slow. Got a problem? But no one to call. Now you do rent yourself a hero at Ben's vigilante rental servers. Justice your way at Ben's. We don't ask questions. We just solve problems. And sometimes we do it discreetly, mostly by wearing a mask to arrange a consultation visit.

Speaker 15

The.

Speaker 8

Www.ben.ineeda hero dot. Call parents because sometimes karma needs a tiny nudge.

The Nameless Wonder:

Would you change your number?

Tom:

So I feel like this is is this based on the same theme as James is? Is it a phone number? Yeah.

Speaker 9

It a.

Mark:

It's to do with the phone number. Yeah. Are we? We have the same algorithm, James, this is.

Speaker 9

This is the way it's.

Speaker 10

This.

James:

Not like is it a number that you can't that you get given that you can't change that, you'd like to be able to change like a like a a National Insurance number or something.

Mark:

No, this is this is a question I asked myself kind of in response to the video. So would you change your number if your telephone number was on the inside of a tunnel? Just lived there for people to call.

Ben:

Yes, immediately depends if people call me and how frequently.

Mark:

Fair, fair. Yeah.

Tom:

This isn't that video where that woman, like divorced her husband or got rid of her boyfriend, and then he put out a thing. Call this number the best Wookie impression gets like $100 or something and then this woman just gets literally called like loads.

Speaker 11

Oh yeah.

Speaker

Oh.

Speaker 9

I wouldn't buy 100 bucks.

Mark:

I have seen that that it's not that Lady, but I have seen that that video, this is kind of an updated. Of that.

Speaker 11

Calling numbers I found in a tunnel.

Speaker 3

Hello. Who's day?

Speaker 17

Call me. Maybe. My name's Jordan. How you doing? Not bad. I gotta ask you something. Does the phrase Call Me Maybe mean anything to you?

Speaker 3

In the tunnel in the. Bad. No way. Yeah, my mate did not about 15 years ago and I'm still getting called. He lives in Canada now, but I'm gonna miss calls. But yeah, that's from the time I.

Speaker 10

How often does this happen to?

Speaker 3

You at this rate, I reckon every three.

Speaker 9

Months I would have to ask why?

Speaker 17

Haven't you changed your double bed?

Speaker 3

I think it's funny is.

Speaker 17

And I like how your friend just ****** *** to Canada as well.

Speaker 3

Well, it's good though. Then I get going around and Miller another ******* tunnel call and he's like.

Speaker 9

I might just call you my spare time with a board you sound like.

Speaker 18

A legend.

Speaker 15

Get on the **** or something.

Ben:

What a hero that.

Tom:

Hello.

Ben:

Was the most Australian video I've ever seen, yeah.

Speaker 15

Yeah, they got on real well. It was real sweet.

James:

It is scary to think like, where how many people have access to my phone number like of every website that I've ever typed my phone number into or. But how easy it is to buy sort of big sums of data. If you're like a call centre, God knows who's got it and where.

Mark:

It is, yeah, it would be an absolute nightmare if if your number was on the inside of a tunnel. And yeah, I definitely would change my number if that was me. Because dodging calls in the middle of the night, it would always be ******* midnight calls. Wouldn't it be like guaranteed? It's going to be people in the middle of the night walking through the tunnel that.

Tom:

Call you. I don't think they would though I. Thinking that well, he only gets, he said, like once every if it's been the 15 years and he gets one call every like three or four months, he said. Then I don't think many people will. Would have called it, do you know?

Mark:

What I mean, I mean, he said. At this stage, I don't.

Tom:

Think it's always been that way? I just can't imagine like, when was the last time you fought the hat? Or even when we're drunk when we're kids and Zilla would never read that. You just never really. You saw like. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ben:

Hey, it's cost. Money. When we were kids to do it.

James:

Yeah, sure. I think I could test would be for you three boys for your next episode between now and then to go and write each others phone numbers on the wall somewhere and see if he gets the most calls in.

Mark:

That's cool, I think.

James:

Amount of time. You can really answer that question.

Speaker 11

Experience the allure of endless connection with Mark's community outreach company. Your number, our artwork, public property, our canvas, strange people calling you for conversational connoisseurs who crave the unpredictable. Let the world call you anytime, day or night. Call Mcoc on the number in the tunnel.

The Nameless Wonder:

Thank you for taking the time to listen to those messages from our sponsors. If you have a business that you would like to promote, please shout into my void. Anyway, after the amazing game Tom created for Brandon to play, it's time for a game that has had absolutely no preparation whatsoever.

Tom:

Right. We should probably get on to the game that we haven't really put much thought into, but because I know that James does improv, I thought that I think I've suggested trying to do something like this before. But basically we just make up a story, but we just say one word each and we just keep going around and just see where we end up.

Ben:

See, I appreciate the idea of doing this whilst James is here Cos James does improv. Yeah, but.

The Nameless Wonder:

The US.

Mark:

The rest of the style.

Speaker 8

Don't do improv.

Ben:

So you're going to be carrying us.

Speaker 15

Here, James every fourth word going to be excellent.

James:

Best advice that I can give you is the more you think about it, the harder it is. Yeah, if you just. If you just serve the story, don't bother about trying to like Chuck in the funny. Or the word. If your word is gonna be it and. So whatever it might be like, they're the important ones that keep the story going. If you just go.

Speaker 13

Grapefruit.

James:

Like that. That doesn't do anything that kind of.

Tom:

Stops it. Yeah. So how do you? You clearly played this before, James. How do how did someone just.

James:

To start, well, I think the best thing to do initially is probably to give yourself. Of like a bit of a story. So alright. Say for example, let's start off with Mark. Can you give me like a a modern day male celebrity?

Mark:

Or yes, absolutely, James. I can give you a modern day male celebrity.

James:

Don't think too much.

Tom:

Yeah, you're already drinking too much. I can tell you.

Speaker 8

I don't think of any.

Speaker 13

We have.

Speaker 15

I it shows as.

Mark:

Like Elon Musk. But is he a?

Ben:

Celebrity does he? Yeah. Fantastic. Yeah.

James:

You know much? Yeah. Right. Then you you I need you to give me an item that he's searching for.

Ben:

His cyber truck.

James:

His cyber truck.

Speaker 8

Guys.

James:

And Tom, I want you to give me a place anywhere, a place, location, a Portugal. Portugal. Yeah. So we've got a story about Elon Musk searching for a cyber truck in Portugal. Right. OK, this is this is going to be interesting. The. I would suggest that we start off just to get into the loop. Start off with Once Upon a time. To just do the four and then you can kind of get into the rhythm of it.

Ben:

Let's do this Once Upon a time, there was a man called. Elon Musk he was very interested in.

Tom:

Spaceship, car or whatever it was.

Speaker 7

I can't remember.

Speaker 13

One ride, one ride at a time.

Speaker 9

What did we say? What did that? What did we actually say? He.

James:

Spaceship. That's what it is now for.

Tom:

Speaker 12

We have. We have.

Speaker 10

Devolved into literally just die humour.

Ben:

Yeah. Does this happen a lot, James with with proper improvers?

James:

It it very yeah, very much descends into into chaos. You need you generally need to have like that person, like the MC to be like, right. Let's ******* reign this in and get somewhere. But I think you guys actually.

Tom:

Did all right. I think we should just do more of. As it's fun, it's fun. Yeah.

Ben:

I feel like that story was better.

Speaker 15

That was a good one. That was fun.

Tom:

Yeah, yeah, we gotta do Friday.

James:

One more yeah. Think about this time. Think about a beginning, a middle and an end.

Tom:

Yeah, trying to have an actual story arc.

Mark:

Notice how a temporal anomaly going round around.

Ben:

Yeah.

James:

The circles set the story up put like an obstacle or a challenge in there.

Speaker

Yes.

James:

And then resolve it in some way as you.

Ben:

So that we can have a little more guidance with the story then. We try. 2 words each? Or is that forbidden in improv?

James:

Well, in fact, if you want to step it up a little bit in a similar sort. Way.

Ben:

I regret saying anything.

James:

What? What you can do. There's a game called 1:00 to 5:00 to 1, so you start off the first round. You say one word, the second round you say 2. The next round you say 3 words, the next round is 4, next round's five, and then back down 4321. So it will say so it'll be Mark, Ben, Tom, me. One word mark. 2 words, Ben. 2 words. Tom. 2 words. Yeah. So you add another word each time.

Speaker 15

Oh, right.

James:

So I'll I'll put my hand up here to remember to remind you how many, how many letters. Or what it's for?

Ben:

App. Alright, let's everyone up for that.

James:

Hey, I'm down.

Ben:

You give.

James:

Patient or electrician? Yeah. Ben, can you give me a man's name?

Ben:

Tom:

Speaker 15

Is like, knock off Mario, yeah.

James:

Tom:

He likes pasta, I know.

James:

He's on the hunt for the perfect past. Tony the Tony, the knock off Mario Portuguese electrician is on the hunt for the perfect pasta, right? So we're going to go one way round or we'll ignore. We'll ignore Once Upon.

Ben:

A time, yeah, Tony. Was hunting for his pasta. It was.

Tom:

Mark:

It was elusive.

Tom:

Fingers in different pasta.

Speaker 15

Now I don't have to do just one brother.

Time talking has become much more difficult, and yeah, it's it's ridiculously hard.

Ben:

Yeah, it's weird, isn't it?

Speaker 10

But you're gonna become very accustomed.

Speaker 15

Take it right. Just you, dirt. Mark, if you have any thoughts, questions, collections or indeed if you want to get involved and come on the podcast.

Mark:

With us, you probably can't because you have to get our number and. We haven't. Our number on the inside of a tunnel. So yeah, if if you want to send in an opening question then you can also do that reaching out to us at our by reaching out to us our Instagram. It's so hard not saying just one word that ******* time got this one word. It's the most important one word that you need. It's wonderfully ill informed. One word on Instagram. Then comments.

Ben:

All right, sassy. We did. We did get.

Tom:

A comment. It's from Kate, right, because I thought it popped up on my notifications. I never get notifications and somehow I've. A notification about.

Ben:

How did chicken about about it? I don't know. I don't know. You get a notification, it's on Spotify that only. I have access to. I'm very confused, yeah. Yeah. It's from Kate. And it says, come on, Mark. We all know Ben hasn't seen a single film from the last 15 years.

Speaker 11

Yeah.

Mark:

Yeah.

Ben:

Maybe a regular feature where Ben watches a new classic film each week and gives us his review is needed. What do you guys think of that?

Mark:

I'll be I'll be down to hear your thoughts on it maybe.

Tom:

I think that you probably know. Like it and I'll be.

Ben:

Like what? Well, to for something that we talked about but actually didn't make it into the episode. I did watch the Goonies after we spoke about it last week, but like I say.

Mark:

It got cut out. Oh, OK what were your? On the Goonies, I've.

Ben:

Never seen the Goonies before? Yeah. I knew about it. The truffle shuffle and hey you. He.

James:

That's pretty much the.

Ben:

Goonies it was not what I thought it was going to be at all. I didn't know. It was like a treasure hunt thing. It just felt a bit dated. I don't know if I. I feel like I'm a bit old. Yeah. Get. Without the nostalgia now.

Tom:

Possibly.

Mark:

That was the same experience I had.

Tom:

You need to watch Hook connects please, because that's the banging dude, yeah.

Speaker 17

Oh dear.

Mark:

Yeah, I feel like hooks it might. It might as it's the sort of progenitor of the of the concept we might have to get you to watch hook first. Ben, if you don't mind.

Ben:

Mind and that depends. If I can, I can get access. To it, yeah, the.

Mark:

Only the only thing we'll need to do in order to make that work is it can only be things that you can watch. So maybe.

Ben:

Yeah. Has to be on Netflix, basically.

Mark:

Need. Can it exclusively be on Netflix, Ben?

Ben:

Yeah, yeah, it's the only the only. I've got OK.

Once Upon a time, Joan was interested in her metal music. Iron Maiden were her favourite, and Metallica played the least music. The Tampa Metal Festival was on every Tuesday in Tampa Bay, Florida. It's highly acclaimed and super cheap, so go and buy a ticket, she mused. Joan doesn't like wearing her top hat. She sometimes steampunks her hair or wears some top hats. Tuesday was yesterday. Wednesday is tomorrow. Joan decided to go on Thursday when the metal band left. Friends came and celebrated with Joan of Arc. Every Monday, Joan arrived early. So the first and last band to play didn't play ****, said Joan of Arc. I'm going home.

Speaker

Ark.

Speaker 18

Fridays or Saturdays.

The Nameless Wonder:

They're so wonderfully ill informed.
