1:16all right there uh honky tonk honky tonk it is here it's coming to you direct from um the south of England. You're up north and there's a very good clue on your t-shirt, Andy. Yeah. Describe it to our viewers. I'm just counting them. It's got nine, that's nine different images of Sunderland AFC, home and away kits from over the years. Some of them go back a bit. Yeah, I think the first one's probably the 1973 Cup winning one and then we leap into the 80s with the one with Cowies. Alright, Andy. All right, Andy, I'm more interested in the fact that there's nine. Nine, you wouldn't ever buy nine bananas, would you?

2:03I'm trying to think what you get in nines. Nine's a curious number. Nine's a lot. Nine's a lot. I would never buy, you know, you're right. You can get seven bananas. You could buy seven. You could buy nine if you wanted to. Oh, I found one. I know one. Andy, sorry to interrupt because I got so excited. for some reason your multi-packs of 12 bars in um sainsbury's are packs of nine so there you go i'm really happy about that that's like what like shrink flation so they've come down from 12 they were 12 now they're probably yeah yeah nine little this is weird because speaking of nine today right Today is a very special day.

2:47It is nine years to the day since we did the first episode of this here podcast. Bloody fuck, I'd say. Bloody fuck? Yeah, I would have to say that. Nine. Do you remember anything about that occasion? Were we in each other? I can't really, Andrew, to be honest with you, can you? All I can remember is that I had at least one can of Stella Artois. And it was something like 11 in the morning. Is Stella strong still, or is it now quite junior compared to the new ones? You know what? It's gradually come down to about 4.6%, but you can now get Stella unfiltered, which is back up to 5%. Go on, Andy. Which is what the good stuff is.

3:36That's a nice breakfast beverage, isn't it? It sure is. My association with the number nine, I was, I think I lived in my first house. My main family house was a number nine. And the second one with number nine is I was always told by this old bloke with a bald head and a very wide mouth who went in the bookies when I was young, that if the bookies were ever offering nine to one, you should take it because it would be a winner. and I don't know whether he was onto something or whatever, but I don't know if you've noticed, Bucky's very rarely off a nine to one. Ah, something in that. Maybe some spooky superstition.

4:20Final thing I must say is that, just because it's hit me this week, I did a guest appearance on Inside Number Nine and the live show. So there's another nine. Okay, so there we are. It's the week of nines. Yeah, well. I wanted to talk about, just briefly, before we get into anything major, boiled eggs are now a more popular meal deal snack than crisps. You know the little pots where you get two hard-boiled eggs in a pot? I get them a lot, yeah. You know I do. I've seen you eating them. I've seen you eating them in the past. Tesco customers now, the number one snack used to be McCoy's Flame Grilled Steak Crisps, and now it's the two boiled eggs.

5:02That's deposed the McCoy's Steak Crisps. I mean, I'm not saying I necessarily believe it, Andrew, but it's incredible. I shouldn't doubt you, but... Do you know, it wasn't that long ago that shops weren't allowed to sell boiled eggs separately. Maybe about eight years ago or something. Something like that. I like a boiled egg. So something to do with coming out of the EU has, you know, opened the doors. No, I don't think it was that. I don't think it was that. Let me... Do you like lamb shanks, Andy? Do you think they're shit? No, I like lamb shanks. Fuck off now, man. What's wrong with lamb shanks?

5:38God, I used to give them to old pets when I was young. There's some sort of marketing operating. Any fucking form of lamb. I had some lamb at the Toby Carvery the weekend because it was a Saturday and there had lamb on the menu. Whoa. And now I've never had lamb down the Toby. Down the Toby. Listen up, Andy. I'm just interrupting because I had such a lovely surprise because Brian Ferry sent me one of his songs. You know, he's furious with the Premier League. Absolutely furious. Got himself all worked up again. So he's done one of his songs. So best that I play it because then it might release all the pressure on him, he's feeling, you know?

6:22I hope so. Yeah, he didn't send me any music, so it's just a cappella, as it were. Here we go. Our tetas is on the rant again. He understands the game better than anyone And Bournemouth are fifth And nobody gives a fuck Angie's on the rant again He's treated worse than anyone else in the world is And meanwhile the fans Are treated like tods in a shit farm And meanwhile in the championship The teams that go come down go up again and 10 fucking clubs want to destroy the EFL the 10 clubs are fine in fact they're having a lovely time Liverpool Bournemouth West Ham Nottingham Forest Palace and Oh Wolves Tottenham Villa Arsenal and And obviously fucking Chelsea.

7:32There you go. So I hope you feel a bit better now, Brian, if you're listening. Yeah, nice, nice hark back to our origins as a football podcast there. I felt that he kind of padded that out just by listing lots of clubs towards the end. Well, that's always his chorus, you know. Yeah, good. That's just the way it is. I bought his... Well, I didn't buy. You don't buy anything anymore, do you, music-wise. I downpiped. Accessed. Accessed. It's got a huge new album called Retrospective or something. Yeah. It's great, isn't it? It's not bad at all, is it? There's some great stuff. It's massively underrated is the ferry.

8:12Yeah. I was in a record shop in Portsmouth last week. Don't ask why. I'm not going to tell you. But I spent 65 quid on 21 records. Oh, that's good. I had a great time. I just had a great time. I was in there for like over an hour. It's called RPM, South Sea. Well, good for RPM, for sticking at it. Of course, there's a plug for them. And I had a wonderful time just browsing. There's so much good stuff. No Brian Ferry, but yeah, you know.

8:45Topics of interest, Andrew, I'm going to offer up. It's up to you. Restless leg syndrome. imaginary or all too real? I'm hearing a lot about that these days. Well, maybe it's piqued your interest. Is it worth buying frozen Donner meat slices? It's a topic, you know. Is there any possible use for dog dirt? Do you prefer a snicker, this is a bit radioed too, a snicker at room temperature or out of the fridge? knee yeah any comment on that none I'm into all of them do you want to do them now or come back to them later on well I have got a final one knee pads in your toolbox essential or space wasters I like all of those topics I like all of them if we're struggling we'll come back to them do you want a true or false quiz yeah go on do it It's that one I used to do a while ago where if you get it right, I'll become Ringo Starr and say, free sweeties.

9:56Okay, got you. From Ringo's famous catchphrase, which was, the best thing about being in the Beatles was all the free sweeties. That's what he used to say all the time. Or if you get it wrong, I'll become Boise from Only Fools and Horses. Nice. And say, Marlene! Right, so that's the parameters. Did you go and see Only Fools and Horses when it was up north? Nah, didn't see it, because Whitehouse wasn't in it. I wasn't bothered. No, you're not bothered. It didn't come to the Sunderland one. He's done quite a few of the regional ones, but not Sunderland. So I saw it as a personal snub, basically.

10:37Have you ever been to Manjaros? Yes, I've been to Manjaros. It's good. What did you get? Can't remember. It was that good, was it? Anyway, come on, carry on. True or false? I'm ready. Is Manjaros national? Manjaros. I think it started in the middle, I think. Yeah, I think it did. Anyway, true or false? Scientists, that's the key word here, I think, in this one, scientists, have developed rechargeable batteries from crab shells. True or false? True. Free sweeties. Yes, true. You got that one right. Well done. Second one. The world's fastest ice cream van is owned by Dave Stewart from the Euronics.

11:22True or false? It's owned by a celebrity, but is it Dave Stewart, Andy? True. Free Sweeties. Again, it is true. He does own the world's fastest ice cream van. The world's lowest ever parachute jump was from 31 metres. True or false? True. Marlene! I'll be honest, I've tricked you a bit. It was actually 26 metres. Righty-o. You just thought you needed a false in there, didn't you? I just wanted to try and defeat you in some way, yeah. Chimpanzees are better at difficult tasks when they're being watched. True or false? True. Free sweeties. I ain't not doing bad. Yeah, that's true as well. finally there is no mention of the year 1948 on the internet true or false false Andy Marlene it's actually true you can have a look yourself no mention whatsoever of 1948 yeah I was driving through Sunderland last week Andy I'll introduce this do you know I'll look on my computer if you're not careful I was driving I know you couldn't that's why I'm not going to I got an unusual incident actually happened you know they come along every now and then I was driving through Sunderland last week when I was up there and a belt on my engine it's a big belt at the front that like powers the air con probably other things as well power steering and stuff and it snapped and me cabin.

13:13Do you call it a cabin in a car? The cabin? Cockpit cabin? I think it just gets called the interior. I like that. I prefer cabin. Yeah. The cabin of me car started getting really hot. And Andy, I don't mean like, you know, a bit like you're driving through the desert. I mean, I'm talking like about maybe 120 degrees or something. Jesus Christ. No, I ain't kidding you on. And I got worried that I might actually start to cook because I thought to myself, I cook meat at that sort of temperature. Yeah, and you are meat, aren't you? At the end of the day, yeah, we're meat and water. And I thought my skin might start to crisp up or something.

13:54And the worst thing was, was to me left on my passenger seat, I had a chicken quarter that was like my car meat for the journey. and I could see that it was beginning to leak residues onto my seats. Now, they're leather seats, Andy, as you can imagine, with me. Right, so that's not an emergency. You could clean them up a few hours. Your car had basically turned, your cabin of your car, had turned into a huge air fryer then, is that what you're saying? Yeah, and if I'd opened the window, it would have circulated it just like an air fryer. Yeah. Yeah. So, Andy, you've got to be careful, actually, with the leather seats, because they're very absorbent.

14:35So, anyway, don't worry about it. I popped a Belinda White under the meat, so that took a bit of a worry about that off my shoulders. This area, you might know, Andy, was called, is it Hilton? Halton? H-Y. Yeah. Yeah. Was it South Hilton or North Hilton? Hilton Castle? Oh, I don't know. It was like, well, there was a garage there, proper garage. There's a sort of like industrial bit there. Do you know it? It's the Hilton Castle, I reckon. He spotted, the bloke opened up, he was called Gary. Gary. And Gary Bag, I think, two Gs, but Gary Bag. He had the full blue boiler suit, you know, and a really nice fat plump ass, so I knew he was proper mechanic.

15:22opened up the bonnet spotted it straight away simple job but he needed to get the part and he said I'd have to wait about an hour I was just chuffed that he was willing to do it and I was so pleased I said would he like the quarter chicken because it was a little bit on the turn and he said said he might you know told me to take a seat in the little waiting room where do you think this is going Andrew I have my thoughts but I'd rather not say at this point. Can I just confirm that I was right or wrong later on? Yeah, okay, I'll trust you on that. He was on the turn, he said he might have, told me to sit in the waiting room.

16:01There was a little carton of milk on the little table in there and a kettle, but nothing else, nothing to sit on. So I sat on the table next to the milk, right? I had to move the milk a bit, Andrew, to make space to sit down. so you probably gathered that, did you? Yeah. Yeah. That was an exciting part of the story, wasn't it, Andy? It was, yeah, it was a feature. Anyway, about 10 minutes later, I was bored stiff, so I had a little walk around the area, and I don't know if you know it, I came across this little microbrewery, taproom place, you could try the beer, have a plate of cured meat, salami, chorizo, biltong, you know, that sort of thing.

16:47Oh, we're all about that in Sunderland now, yeah. Yeah, all of that. So I popped inside. They had a little retail section selling the cans and the meats. So I bought myself a nice Milano salami. Just then, my phone rang, and Ron Bagg told me my car was ready. So back at the garage, I couldn't see Ron, so I went into the waiting room. He came in a couple of minutes later, holding my cup chicken quarter in one hand and a torque wrench in his other hand. alright Ron, oh man that was quick thank you so much can I just interrupt? is there any reason why Gary Baggs has changed his name to Ron Baggs at the midway point of this story maybe it was his brother let's say it's his twin it's his twin Ron oh that was fairly quick, thanks Ron and give me thanks to Gary as well sure he worked on it and he says how fucking dare you oh I didn't say he's one of them Dutch South African you know Afrikaans blokes oh you didn't mention that sorry I should have I said well what's up Ron he said what's up how dare you try and foister this rancid chicken section onto me remove your strides and under cracks and bend over the milk table I said why Ron why why have a dedicated milk table and also I promise the chicken's fine it's only in its early like it's only in early turns perfectly safe to eat down fucking sweet talk me with your fancy hygiene science get on the table point your highness up towards the wall-mounted insecticuter you know those you know them andy yeah well what was i meant to do he was twice my size it was big ass and that and he's tooled up with the torque wrench so obviously i took my trousers off, bent over the turbel and he handed me the chicken quarter Oh God Now feed the chicken into your innus at a reasonable pace, we'll soon see if it's edible or not So I started, I put the little wing bit, you know and he stopped me, he said sing some rock and roll to accompany the insert So I sang One full of money, two full of shoes See he is lady, now go can't go, but don't you step on my blue sweet shoes.

19:08Now start feeding. I want to see that lamp of sick paltry completely disappear. Well, just then, the bloke from the brewery appeared at the door holding the salami, because I'd left it behind in his shop. Give me that, shouted Ron. That's perfect to introduce into the action. He says, why are you making them do that? I hope you've got a fucking shoe on. Well, Ron ran over to him and tried to grab the salami, but the brewery bloke, roundhouse, kicked him, knocked him out cold. I said, oh, thanks, mate. I mean, mate, do you really think he would have made me, you know, shove it all in? He said, why, aye, he's well known for it.

19:51Gangbangers, you gotta love them. You fancy popping down Manjaros tonight? Oh, thankfully, he'd already replaced the belt, so I drove off without pain. but given what he made me do, I think that's fair enough to be on standee. Salami was lovely, by the way. I had it with some sardines on toast. Nice. And that detail's probably the second best bit of the story after the milk table. There you go. The milk table was the best bit. Unusual, isn't it? Unusual. I did correctly predict that it was going to be some South African involvement. I mean, I think you got off lightly with a chicken wing or whatever it was, a chicken quarter because you've had a guitar up there in the past.

22:17Can we have some questions from the past Have we got any? We have got some, I sent you some earlier this morning Oh, I didn't see them. Sorry, Andy. I've got some... I'll start with one while you're having a look. We've got one here from Jamie Smith-Dreson. When was the last time you were in a bus station? Now, there's a question. My only memory of a bus station is I went to the opening of Middlesbrough bus station in would be the very, very early 70s. And is it Pat... Fucking hell. Pat someone from Coronation Street? Pat Phoenix? Pat Phoenix did the opening. Elsie Tanner? and she paraded around in an open top car.

22:56Oh, she was a glamorous woman, Pat Phoenix. I have, do you know, I have been in the bus stations. I mean, it was, you know, in the old days, it's how you got around, wasn't it? Well, yeah, I mean, bus stations were kind of second homes back in the day. I'd still use them. I do get the bus into town, into Sunderland now and again. Yeah. If I'm going out drinking, because, you know, that's the best way to do it. So, yeah, I'm always in bus stations. Who do you drink with? just me mates. We usually go to Manjaros. Why don't you go to Manjaros tonight? I might do. The thing about Manjaros is, right, or at least the one in Sunderland is, it hasn't got an alcohol licence, but they're quite happy if you take your own booze in.

23:36Right. And the one in Sunderland, they'll even tell you where the nearest place to get your booze is. That's Manjaros. That's the Manjaros way. You go in there and you order your grub and they'll say, get yourself around to Amy's Winehouse, which is a genuine off-licence in the centre of Sunderland. Right. But they say that's not the best one. The one next door to Amy's Winehouse is the best one, price-wise. So you can't fault service like that, can you, really? That's Manjaro's. We're beginning to sound like we're sponsored by and there might be a terrible operation, I don't know. Matt Birkin asks, do bats have tails?

24:12My answer to that would be, do bears shop in Aldi? Do you know what I mean? We did that one in the last episode. you're looking at the wrong set of questions. Well, there you are. You've got it again.

24:27Yeah, Harry Fry. Harry Fry says, is a chicken balty pie a good or bad thing? My missus says it sounds revolting. Personally, I think it's a work of art. I agree with Harry. A chicken balty pie is sensational. Have you had one at the football before? I've never had one, Andy, no. Sounds all right. You should try them. They're good. Pie-wise, I'm currently, me and my son are in search for a crunchy pork pie. You know, crunchy munchy. Crunchy munchy. Because my memory is that pork pies, you know, the thing about pork pies, it's quite hard, the crust. But they seem to have softened them. The industry seems to have softened them, yeah.

25:07Are you looking at individual ones or a large one that you can cut up? Individual ones. So we go, we squeeze them, see if we can find one. We got one decent one I was on my way to Portsmouth to watch the borough and we got a decent one at an M &S. But I haven't been able to repeat it with M &S. But I think it's true that, you know, that water lard pastry, it should be nice and crunchy, won't she? Or at least crunchy, munchy. It shouldn't be soft. It shouldn't be impossible to achieve. Well, there you go. Two mentions of Portsmouth so far as well. We'll see if we can improve on that later on. John Sargent says, any interest in space travel?

25:44I didn't get any interest in space travel at all. None whatsoever. No. I wasn't one of those kids who liked space or who liked fast cars, you know, that kind of thing, trains. I do remember that when the first ever space shuttle took off and I was at school and they took us into the hall and they wheeled in the big telly and we all got to watch the space shuttle taking off for the first time. And I think they said something like on the television and the booster rockets have now been ejected from the side of the shuttle. And I turned to the lad next to me and I said, oh, yeah, that's a good thing that, that's good that the booster rockets have come off.

26:29And I was bullshitting. I had no fucking idea. I was trying to make myself sound like some kind of clever clogs. And I was just a prick. I know nothing about space. Was it actually a terrible disaster or something? No, that one went up all right. The disaster came about five years later, I think. Someone called Michael says, how much money do you think has been lost in the chocolate bar industry by people paying at the pump? Oof. That's good. I would say none, because the prices have absolutely rocketed in the last few years. Well, according to you, they're all buying boiled eggs now, aren't they?

27:05Well, apparently, yeah. There's better value for money, probably. A couple of boiled eggs for£1.50 as opposed to a Kit Kat chunky. I reckon£1 million, absolutely, on the nose. To the penny. To the penny. That's a good answer, that's a good answer. Hey, what's behind the door? Yes or no, yes or no, shut up. What's behind the door? I don't know, I don't fucking know. Three doors for you, right? I'm going to tell you what's behind them. You can tell us if you want to go through and have a closer look. You can choose all three, you can choose none, you can choose one, you can choose two. There's no limits.

27:39so number one behind the door 125 retired traffic wardens they are arranged in order of height and they are all offering you the handshake of kindness but can you trust them any of them pissed nope no i don't want to see him i don't like him andy you know i mean i think it's in in built in not to like him really yeah that's fair enough i wouldn't trust their handshake that's why they're offering it. It comes with kindness, but you're not having it. Fair enough. Door number two, there's some really long hair. It's perfectly sized and shaped for you and you only, and you can have it grafted on painlessly if you like.

28:20You going in? Do I have to keep it really long? Do what you want with it once it's on. You can shave it off. Get it cut, styled, whatever style you like. Yeah, I'll take it. He's having it. I'm having it, but I didn't know. He's having it. This seems to have changed, Andy. It used to be just how I can have a look at something, but now I get handshakes, I get hair transplants. You get to go in. You get to go in and do whatever's going on in there. OK, I'll do that, yeah. All right, third, final one. It's Acker Bilk. He's in there. He's kicking his way out of the insides, slash innards, slash guts, slash engine of a grand piano.

28:58His hat is probably going to come off because he is immeasurably shit-faced. Yes, I'd like to go in and see that, thank you. You want to go in and have a look at that? That's two out of three. I'm happy with that. You're happy with that. Proceed. What sort of size engine do pianos have? Is it just like 125cc or something? It's a grand piano, so it'll be like probably one litre. One litre? A car engine, is it? Yeah. I suspect so, yeah. I would like to have a look at that.

29:30Crime Files, Andy, what do you think? Do you think you could handle that? Oh, sure, I can. Here goes then. Crime Files. The leafy village of Lower Brambury is located in the heart of the Peak District, 15 miles from the nearest motorway. With its post office, community hall and village pub, it's regarded as one of the most peaceful, pleasant places to live in the UK. or at least it was until the 22nd of november 2024 when it was rocked to its very core by a terrible devastating incident

30:13nice hunting nestling no no nestling in an old stable block off the high street was the nonsense pottery of nonsense potter neil hunt it was early morning and hunt was sipping from his second steaming mug of tea as he considered glaze colour options for his new line of plant pot holders featuring a relief of his ex-wife's backside when the shop door opened and in walked retired football analyst Mark Lawrenson wearing a super tight gold long-sleeved shirt and elasticated jeans mail ordered from the Daily Telegraph.

30:54Who are you And what do you want? You do realise that this is a nonsense pottery and not a drop-in centre for the terminally slack-minded, don't you? I do indeed, good sir. My name is Mark Larenson and I'm here with a sensitive but potentially lucrative commission for you, should you choose to accept it. Why are you talking like that? Are you from the Tudor period? has your brain taken a wander towards the dreary, meaning your word production resembles a parboiled sheep's tod? This is a nonsense pottery, not a mind realignment hub. Ah, I don't see the need for any hostility. I am just as God made me, sir.

31:38My good lady wife and wider family appreciate me. That's all I need. Well, I don't. And you've already wasted too much of my precious time. What do you mean, by the way, lucrative commission? What do you actually want? What is it that you're doing here? What's your actual purpose? Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me. Why don't you tell me? Tell me. Why don't you tell me? I'll just get out.

32:08I'd like you to fashion a clay rabbit for me in the shape and size of my late and much-missed companion, Ngini. Here, here's a photo of him with my wife Barbara. Mark hands over a photo of his wife Barbara sitting in the garden and cradling a black rabbit as though it is a giant baby. He looks like he's riddled with mong. So does she now that I take a closer look, do they both have mong? Do you? Do you have mong? I can't have munchpaws in my nonsense pottery. Come, come now, Mr Potterman. There's no need to get a personal. Can you make me a memorial mungini, or can't you? No, I'm booked up solid until next August of the following year after.

33:02The side of your window says all commissions undertaken in six weeks or less. Oh, well, that's out of date as of yesterday. I've had an influx. I don't believe you. Listen, I'm terrified you might be carrying second-degree mons yourself, and the last thing I need at this lucrative time of year is DEFRA crawling all over my premises. Now get, kind, kind, kind, kind, kindly get out! Mark turns and sets the shop's door latch into the locked position and flips the open sign over so that it firmly suggests that the shop is in fact closed. He stares at Neil and produces a packet of Belinda wipes from the pocket of his coat.

33:43Pulling the packet open, he grabs a handful of the wipes and smears them aggressively on and across his entire facial region. What are you doing? Trying to wipe away the munch? Look, do you know who I am? I'm Neil Hunt Nonsense Potter. And for your information, my brother-in-law sells zombie cuddlery sets on the dark web. And is on the waiting list for a Tesla cyber truck. Now get out of here or suffer the consequences. In a matter of seconds after applying the Belinda wipes to his face, Lawrenson's entire appearance changes. His skin darkens and hairs begin to sprout from it. I'm sorry. It's okay.

34:23Along with a set of impressive whiskers. From the top of his head, a fully formed pair of rabbits he has emerged. His voice changes as he creeps towards the now terrified Potter and unleashes a deadly threat. This is a kilometre's day for you little man for you have unleashed the spirit of Ngini Warrior Rabbit fear across much of the north of England from as far down as Mansfield and as far up as maybe South Shield prepare to breathe your last Lawrenson slash Ngini looms over Neil who has stumbled backwards and is now crouched in the corner of his showroom The hybrid man-beast has also been wiping his hands with the Belindas, and rabbit claws have now sprung from where his fingers should be.

35:12Neil finds himself thinking that he's in fact got no idea whether or not rabbits have claws, but assumes that they must do, given this latest development. All you had to do was render me in clay-form for the next gentleman, but instead you got all maddy! Now, I'm afraid it's time for you to die! Fuck.

35:39Oh, why? Why is it always little old me? I use my thermal drone camera to inform the police about suspected cannabis farms and I return all of my out-of-date antibiotics to the local pharmacist. Neil wondered if this is really it and a small amount of involuntary urine leaked from his worthless penis, soaking and staining his brown slacks. He briefly ponders that his second mug of tea of the morning was probably an indulgence too far. Of course, the tea. Neil pulls himself up and lurches to the counter swiping at the mug handle and drenching Lawrence and Slash and Gini's face with the piping hot liquid.

36:22The heat begins to melt the tight nylon shirt and fuse it with the hybrid skin. Ow, you fucking cunt! The hybrid twists and writhes on the floor as Neil Hunt rises to his full height and stands over him. Guess what? I'm Neil Hunt and I'm a fucking nightmare. As I said earlier, your statue will be available for collection in August. August 2000 and fucking never! Lawrenson attempts to scamper away on all fours through the shop door, which he has earlier locked, but hurtles right into it, knocking himself unconscious before the jubilant Potter bundles him out onto the quiet street. And that's where it ends, Andy.

37:09No, that's where it ends. Andy, did you think that story was a little bit like the film Donnie Darko? Yeah. A little bit like it, wasn't it? Pretty much, yeah, 100%. As I remember Donnie Darko anyway. Yeah, it's been a while since I've seen it. That's good, that. I enjoyed that. Very nice. Well, there we go. We'll leave it with that, I think. Thank you very much for listening to this, the Parsnippers and beyond. Thanks for sticking with us for nine fucking years. Yeah, thank you very much. And we'll be back soon with more. See you next time. I'm off to buy some sausages now. Ta-ra! Ta-ra!

38:05Hey, it's Nick and Jack from The Best One Yet. If you're a high earner and want a podcast about managing your money, your next dollar is the one. It covers the financial complexity that comes with a higher income, equity compensation, RSUs, tax planning, housing decisions, and figuring out what it's actually okay to enjoy your money. Turns out the more you earn, the more complicated the questions get. And somehow there's even less content built for you until now. So your next dollar covers both sides of the equation, building wealth and spending on what actually matters to you. Because at a certain income level, the question isn't just, should I save more?

38:37It's what should I do with everything I have? Financial advisors from NerdWallet Wealth Partners join the show regularly to discuss the questions they hear from high earners like you, the nuanced real world stuff that generic financial content doesn't cover.
