Therapy's biggest impact doesn't show up in some dramatic breakthrough.

0:34It shows up in the smallest moments. You bite your tongue instead of escalating. You put your phone down instead of firing off that text.

2:30Welcome to a spooky bonus episode of Stay Relevant, hosted by two best friends at Hogwarts. One of them, a Hufflepuff, me, Sam Thompson, flanked by his best friend and brother, Peter James, Jonathan Joseph, Wigs of Honigatova. We done? There we are. Welcome to the bonus episode, bitches.

3:46It's mostly about Harry Potter. Why is it about Harry Potter? If you do want to get in touch, though, then email the worst email address in the world, which is hello at srproductions.co.uk. For those listening, we are wearing Harry Potter cloaks. And we're getting spooky. Because it's Halloween this week. why are we wearing these croats go on you can because for my birthday i don't know whether you remember listening to the pod a few months ago but um they basically got me a a ticket for me and the whole team actually to uh go to harry potter studios in um in in watford so so we are now off there to go and spend the day walking around and seeing buck b in the gang um so i'm really excited.

4:35Is that one of your gamer mates? No, that's the hippogriff from Harry Potter. What? We're going to go trenching around the Forbidden Forest. We're going to go see Dumbledore. We're going to go see Hagrid. Oh. But, yeah, we're basically off to Watford to go and see some Harry Potter stuff. So I'm very excited about it. For Sam's birthday, yeah, we got him a trip to Watford in cloaks. Happy birthday. Happy birthday, mate. What house are you in? What cloak are you wearing? I'm in green. You're in Slytherin? Yeah. I'm in Slytherin. You're Draco Malfoy, Voldemort, that kind of camp. Is that good? Well, you're in the bad boy camp.

5:18But it's where everyone wanted to party, I feel like. If you were going to party in someone's common room, I don't think anyone that's listened to Harry Potter has ever been to a party, if I'm honest with you. I imagine they spend most of their time just wanking into their cloak at home. Into their cloak. we're getting spooky now. So is Harry Potter a Halloween thing then? Well, it's dress up, isn't it? Yeah. Right, yeah. Quite, yeah. Excellent. Well, I am excited. Excited for your Ron Weasley wig? What? Your Ron Weasley ginger wig? What, was he a bad boy? Yeah. Yeah, no, I can't. Is he the ginger one?

6:02Yeah. Yeah, no, I'm excited. So you've got to wear your wig. I mean, the clothes, no expense spared. Got my name on it. Just in case. How excited are you out of 10? It's a solid zero. Go on, man. We're going to do some TikToks, some Harry Potter themed TikToks. Oh, yeah, man. Sorry, I didn't realize we were doing TikToks. Now that I know that, it's a fucking 10. I can't fucking wait. Mate, we've got a really good one. Wait, do you know that we're going to be at Snape? Snape. Severus Snape Dumbledore I'm going to do that one when we're in the studios which one am I? you're going to be the one who goes Snape Snape Severus Snape Grape Grape Snape Snape Snape yeah cool I can't wait no mate I'm going to need more from you I'm absolutely fucking buzzed good that's what I want I want that energy man give me some of that yeah listen your birthday was in August I never thought it would come around so quick but I'm so glad it has we're now in October and I have, the last three months, it's just been a build up to this.

7:06You know, I just wanted to get through the O2 and the book launch and the rest of it because I knew Harry Potter Studios was coming. And I haven't been to Watford for ages. And as it's one of my favourite locations around the country anyway, lots of great stuff in Watford. That's why they specifically put the studios there. You're going to see Buckbeak? Yeah, I'm going to go see Fuckface and I'm going to drink some Butterbeams. Butterbeer? Yeah, butter beer. You know, what more could you want out of life? Oh, we're all buying wands. We're not. We are. Well, you can buy them out of your own fucking pockets.

7:39All right? This is not our, you know, let's all do things together and here's a 50-pound bit of fucking plastic and we can all have one and what are we going to do with them? Well, cast belt. But they're not real, are they? Yeah, we pretend. Maybe. All right, well, I'll tell you what. Pretend you've got a wand. There you go, so you don't need one. because it has the same effect, doesn't it? And on that note, we will be inserting here some snippets of our trip went. Welcome to Hogwarts. Welcome to the Great Hall. Pete, we have a present for you.

8:23Ron Weasley's wig. Take your hat off. What is that? That's a Ron Weasley wig. Now, it's not canon. It's not law. you are wearing a slithering robe but i think for the purposes of today and because it's my birthday we can let it slide so this season doesn't even go with with the well he's a he's a gryffindor with the coat i got he's a gryffindor so why do i have to wear it then um because that's not really harry potter then is it well he's from weasley yeah but it's wrong yeah but i still have to do it yeah yeah of course happy birthday thank you very much pete tap the badge Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

9:00Whoa. Whoa. Someone send a howler, because you look great. It's itchy, isn't it? Pete? Pete? The Great Hall. So this is where all the students gather after they have woken up or after they've gone to lessons. After they've woken up. Yeah, this is breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Great Hall. As you can see, it's been decorated with floating pumpkins because obviously it's Halloween. Over there is the staff table, as you can see, Albus Dumbledore, Snape, Professor McGonagall, and Rubeus Hagrid. Professor Quirrell from movie one is over there. So this is where they eat? Yeah, nearly headless to Nick.

9:37Jewel him. Jewel her. Him. I don't know what you're supposed to do. Pete. Well, I hope you enjoyed that montage of us in Watford at Harry Potter Studios. We are just going to do a really quick round-up. We're not going to delve too deep into this, I don't think, because I think we know the theme of how this goes. Quick check-in on GBU. Yeah, I'll tell you how quick we're going to do it. They lost again. So let's move on to the emails. 1-0 to Black Country Town, which is going to be fun. That's another loss. They've written an emotional post on their social media saying they need to do better, so let's keep an eye on that for next week.

10:16No, they haven't, but they're actually on the wrong way. I've got to find me. It's nice that after sort of not winning a game all season, they've realised sort of about eight games in that they need to do better. Something I probably would have picked up on after the first thrashing they had. Once again, we wasn't at the races today. And after today, everyone needs to improve. Well, they might as well have been at the races. As these results cannot continue, as we all know that we can deliver. We have a free week next week. So hopefully the lads come back with a bit of fight and put these bad performances behind us.

10:46They've got, what, a free week next week? Yep. Got a free week. Oh, not free for me though. Still paying for it. Sorry, who the fuck are their new sponsor? Thanks to our new sponsor, Edge to Edge Construction, for their support this season. Who the hell are they? They've got like four sponsors. We don't have exclusivity. Sorry, who? We've also got Susie's Caff. Who in the fuck's named Susie? Susie P's Tea Room. Well, I can guarantee you fucking Edge Builders and fucking Susie ain't paid like we have. Susan Millard? we're not even on there they haven't even thanked oh they have at the bottom thanks to Great Bar United well done you've let everyone down all of your sponsors they're the only team in the fuck it's amazing isn't it bottom of the league more sponsors than the rest of the teams put together fucking mental basically it's just a money making racket for them isn't it alright they're not fussed about the football they're just there for the fucking cash the moolah I can't believe they've got more sponsors I can't believe that we're one of them Jesus Christ anyway shall we move on some emails and get past that fucking shower of shit Okay, here we go.

11:49Hi team. Me and my husband have been avid listeners since day one and have listened to every episode of the podcast. The episodes got me through my first maternity leave and I'm now expecting my second baby due February 2026. Congratulations. We have been looking for a way to announce the gender of our baby and I thought what better way than for our two favourite podcasters. So let me just stop you there. So we're going to announce what they've got? I think we are. Fuck me, this is intense. I had a sneaky look as I'm too impatient, but my husband has no idea. Would you be able to announce the gender of our baby on your podcast and also help us with some baby name suggestions would really make our year?

12:32Right, so let's do this properly then. So this is an email. From Jessica Rogans. From Jessica Rogans. So if your husband is listening, Mr. Rogans. Bloody hell. How are you, buddy? I'm about to tell you what you got coming. You're about to hear from Pete Wicks. First of all. This is so good. Pete Wicks is about to tell you the gender of your baby. First of all, mate, it's a baby. All right. So just to clear that up, just so we're aware. I presume you know she's up the duff at this point. So the gender. We should do a drum roll. Fuck me. I feel like we need to lead into this. Well, the drum roll doesn't come yet because she actually wrote in drum roll.

13:10Oh, right. Okay. Yeah. So we'll do it when she's mentioned. Yeah. the gender of your second child is eight. Now do it.

13:20You having a girl? No, you're having a fella. You're having a boy. Got you there for a second, didn't I, mate? So Jessica and Mr. Rogans, whose name isn't there, so we'll just call you Mr. Rogans, you're having a little fella. You're having a boy. You can't say little fella. That sounds like Dave's about to come strolling out of a vagina with a f***ing hand. ready to fucking, all right, mum, he's going to clip his own umbilical cord with a pair of fucking pliers he's got from his sort of backpack and he's ready to go. Oh, he's got a backpack as well. Well, no, he's just, he's got his work boots on.

13:53He's got his work boots? He's literally like, all right, dad, how are you, mate? All right, mum, snip me off. Mr. Rogan's, what's happening? Jesse Darling, you sweet? Yeah, and he's just going to stroll onto the pub. I've fucking arrived. I have fucking arrived. Eh? Let's celebrate, wet the baby's head, but make me part of it, son, lads, lads, lads. so yeah lovely obviously you need a name for the for oh kit need a name I mean as we did the gender reveal there was three gents names in the room it would be lovely Cedric no because there isn't a Cedric here Albus no no no his name's Josh oh yeah right Josh is not a bad name Sam is not a bad name Pete is a bad name but we could go with one of them three I mean, that would really, and if you do that.

14:42You could have a little baby Sam. You could have a. Call him Sam Junior. Yeah. Do that. Oh, little witchy knee. Yeah. Yeah. Or like, call him like a Robert. Or we could go weird. Little Bob. Call him Stool. You know, some people like just call their like kids random names. Yeah, I mean. Call him Stool. You know what Stool is though, don't you? Yeah, we've got a few of them in the office. 1C3. Yeah, it's also another word for shit. If you give a stool sample. That's a really good point. So I can't imagine that would be a great name. Little baby stool. Yeah, go with Sam Jr. But yeah, congratulations.

15:25There are some, obviously, some other names that aren't being used, although they seem to be. But Jonathan, James, Joseph, Josiah. Josiah Rogan. Sounds like a great name. Jessica, Josiah and Joe Rogan. Slim Easy. Slim Easy? Slim Easy. Sorry, is that a name suggestion? Could go with Slim Easy or, you know, if we're just sort of shouting to him, Melon. No, Slim Easy. Well, that's not a serious suggestion. Yeah, it is. That's a very serious suggestion. A TikToker called her baby Slim Easy really recently. What's wrong with her? Well, no, it's just quite cool. She called the kids Slim Easy? Yeah. What do you mean?

16:05It's not a name though, is it? Slim Easy. What, first name, Slim, middle name Easy? No, it's all Slim Easy. That's the first name, Slim Easy. Slim Easy? No, Slim Easy, but it is one name. So if it's one name, it's Slim Easy. Her other child is called Rumble Honey. No, it's not. Slim Easy and Rumble Honey. Whimsy Lou is another one. Whimsy Lou, Slim Easy and Humble Honey. That is not real. What, are they all one word? No, they're all two words. like Peter James Slim Easy Rumble Honey Rumble Honey Whimsy Lou I love Whimsy Lou Whimsical Whimsy Lou Whimsy Lou, what's the surname, Smith It is No it's not, Whimsy Lou Smith No it's not Fuck off It is Smith, I swear to you Rumble Honey Smith Slim Easy Smith I quite rate that Does she not like her kids?

17:04I don't know. Do you know what? I do have a query, right? And I mean this. If you're calling your kids, like, you know, humble future or something, I do sometimes think, like, do you want your kids to get bullied? Because there's no way. I'm a millennial, like, at our school, maybe it's different now. But I know for a fact that if someone was called humble future at our gaff, like, I know for a fact that they would at least get some jives. Oh, yeah, yeah. Theodore and Tarquin would be jiving, humble honey. They'd get some jostling. I mean, what do these people do? Do they just give up on finding names and just sort of like, oh, you're having a kid, what are we going to call it?

17:45The kid pops out and they just sat there and they just name what's the, like pumpkin candle. That would do. No, but they think it's cool. Well, it ain't. Fucking Whimsy Lou is a fucking stupid name. Well, Slim Easy. Slim Easy Smith. Slim Easy Smith. No, stupid. Absolutely ridiculous. Just what is wrong with just like normal, like Olive? Rose. Olive or... I don't know the boy or the girl's names. Dean. Dean. Yeah. Dean. Standard. Good. Darren. Belinda. Should we move on? Yeah? You want to move on? Yeah. All right. Excellent. Well, from Whimsy Lou to Vegas.

18:30you've got to say spooky in a proper spooky way got a spooky Halloween question do it one more time a bit louder no I think come on a little bit louder no clip that up and just increase the volume got a spooky Halloween question time coming up for you god I am excited but I think the biggest sorry are you alright there yeah it's just everything I envisioned and more is it well that is good the cloak brings out the best in me but the big question is where are we going to be for Halloween

19:05so you're not worried about hosting the whole family for the holidays why would I be Wayfair had everything I needed to get the house holiday ready what if Mike brings his cheerful dogs my tree has tons of five-star reviews telling me how sturdy it is but what if everyone's plus one brings a plus one we'll see how extendable this extendable table really is and extra chairs are on the way. Okay, what if there's a blizzard and everyone has to sleep over? Ready to go with extra bedding and towels. From guest-ready essentials to holiday decor you can trust, Wayfair delivers.

21:37We're not going to be in England, I'll tell you that much, for free. If you follow us on the socials, you'll have seen that we have recently been trying to collect enough Avios for a very special trip and the time has finally come. Go on. We're going to Vegas. We're going to fucking Vegas, bitches. We are going to Vegas with Avios and by the time this episode comes out we will be on our way. We are going to be out there for Halloween. We are going to be in Vegas for Halloween. And if you think we're not dressing up, by the way, we are. So we're actually bringing some of the team. We couldn't bring everyone.

22:15We're just bringing the ones we like. No, no. Budget just wouldn't stretch. Budget wouldn't stretch. Yeah. But we are taking Produce Pippa. Of course we are because she's a fucking influencer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's actually not going to do anything out there, but yeah, she's there. There's no way she was going to fucking pass up on that one, was it? Yeah, yeah. And as we all know, she can't go anywhere without a driver. Digital Josh will be joining as well. so Josh is there the old fucking tour manager for staying relevant no just for Pippa not even for us yeah not even for us she's taking her a fucking assistant with her PA Josh will be there which will be wonderful but yeah we are going to be there for Halloween and TB Ted and yeah TB Ted you know he just sort of pops up for the big ones you know what I mean is he here on a day to day basis no does he want to come Vegas fuck yeah surprise by surprise.

23:10So keep an eye across all of our socials for Vegas content. But also keep an eye on the rest of our team if you could whilst we're away. Yeah. Just in case. I mean they are going to be they are going to be here on their own. Dads are going to be away. Yeah. Kids will play. Yeah. The dads are going to be away. The kids will play. Yeah. Yeah. I mean how you've discussed us being dads when we're both sat in a couple of fucking clothes is... Kira's taking us off. We're off to Vegas. We can't wait. We're going to be in Halloween costumes. There has been lots of talk about what we're going to be wearing for Halloween.

23:45No, there's space cowboys. What? You're a cowboy. No, no, no. Okay. So the idea being that the majority of people will be dressed up in Vegas and it would almost be more stupid if we weren't dressed up. So I said, well, you know, just make a little bit of effort, just spatter some blood around or whatever. I'm going as a lazy cowboy. so I made my decision because it means I don't really have to do anything I'll just be wearing black and whacking a hat on that then caused pandemonium amongst the rest of the team who decided they all had to go down the western theme they've since removed themselves from the western theme because it was a struggle as no one wanted to be the back end of Sam's horse so actually then what they went with the space theme where Moonhead was going to go as a planet Wasn't much for her to do.

24:34Just leave the head popping out. That would be Pippa, by the way. Yeah, old fucking Jupiter Schneck or whatever her name is. She's got a Jupiter Schneck. Schneck, whatever. Josh is just going to wear a suit and go as the driver. He'll have a little hat on, which will be nice. What are you going as? I'm going as a space cowboy. So Sam still didn't want to be one group or the other, so it's combined the two. is going as a space cowboy. An alien in cowboy outfit. Right, okay, excellent. So Sam is dressing up and then dressing up the dress up. Yeah, we're going double. Of course, it's like Inception, isn't it?

25:14Layers upon layers. Or I was going to go as the, you know, the kid who basically has the alien inflatable behind them. And they're like, no, get off me. It's stealing me. Yeah, I was going to go as that inflatable. Yeah. So when I said we were going to do dress up, what I said was wear something that you can wear to dinner yeah my inflatable because we're going for a really nice restaurant on that night so we need to sort of go well not really mate I mean it would be weird if the waiter asked if your friend wants anything or so you're going to hear yeah no inflatable it's just simple and I kind of wish I hadn't said we were going to do it but you know I've made me bad or an alien me and people would think about aliens

25:57oh is that it sorry yeah do you want to join I know. We're going to cover ourselves green. I'm going to Lazy Cowboy. We're going to be green. You're going to be green? Yeah, like Martians. Oh, if you've said that, yeah, I'll do it. No. Now, on to the big questions and the more important things. And first of all, I'm going to ask a question before we get on to question time. Go on, shoot for that. What you want? What's a schnack? Oh, it's a schnack? Yeah. So this is a new thing that I've walked into today where everyone seems to be using it for no apparent reason, with no context, and for anything.

26:29So we've all got Chin-X and, you know, we're drinking Chin-X and, you know, we're holding Chin-X and it's been filmed on a Chin-X and there's a Chin-X on the table. And he's the biggest Chin-X here. I don't know what it is. I don't know the purpose of it. Kira seems to have really enjoyed it. She's enabling Sam currently in order to make him feel better about this. Pippa's involved as well. Yeah. Yeah. Pippa's got herself involved. Of course she has, which means that she's brought along Sidekick. so now Josh is involved as well so I'm not entirely sure do you want to explain it to me? A chin-neck is basically where you don't have a neck and you just go from chin to shoulder and so your chin is basically your neck so it's a chin-neck Wouldn't it be a shoulder?

27:12No but it's like this Because there's no neck No because your chin is your neck the whole point is it's your chin-neck Right So it's like you know when you're like that like a turtle in its shell and so like imagine being at the bar and being like, oh, mate, see the hot dude over there? God, I'll tell you what. You've got to see the guy with the mullet and the chin-neck.

27:36Well, I'm glad we had that explanation because it's really cleared it up for me. Does anyone at home have a chin-neck? Tag someone in the comments. Tag a friend who's got a chin-neck. You know what's amazing is we sometimes, you know, these random things happen and then they become kind of the biggest thing on the pod. So wait till the O2 next year when we'll be asking everyone to come as a chin-neck. Send us your chin-ex. Oh my God, send us your chin-ex! So what we're going to do then is the new section of the pod, the award-winning pod, it's going to be rape my chin-ex. Oh my God, we should definitely, honestly, in all seriousness, send us your chin-ex.

28:09Yeah, in all seriousness, guys, because this is an important subject. I just didn't realise that there were people with a chin-neck. But there's not. I've got a bit of a chin-ex, I've realised. Well, yeah, when you look down, yeah, you can't see your neck. Look up, you can. No, it's really, like, cool.

28:32How has this made it onto the pond? I mean, I'm setting a cloak talking about a fucking made up word and asking people to send me their lack of neck. Send me. I bet we get so many photos. Send me photos of yours or your friends' chin-ex or your partners. Anyone that you know who has a chin-ex, send them in. But we have question time. Pete's about to blow a casket. so honestly my head is about to fall off my neck question time is your favourite bit Pete oh yeah no I do love this bit question time question time so Sam Rhythm Podcast we ask you questions first one have we ever been ghosted oh man I got ghosted relatively recently and presumably the reason this has come up is because it's spooky oh I like that Because a lot of them...

29:24Yeah, yeah. So have we been ghosted? I think so. Oh, man, I've been ghosted loads. To be honest with you, the problem is I haven't noticed. Oh, I've noticed. I got ghosted quite recently. Not like super recently. Things not going well with Pete. No, I'm saying like before, like I've been ghosted prior. And, you know... How did you handle the ghosting? Do you know what? You doubled down. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I was fucking scoffing there. What do you mean you doubled down? We send another message. Oh, okay. I'm just making sure you saw the above. Right. And then what happens if they ignore that one as well?

30:00Do you triple down? Yeah, you triple down. Just keep going. Okay, so. But what you do is. So how long before it comes harassment? No, because what you do is you increase the time frame of how much you double and triple and quadruple down. So you double down the next day. And then if they don't apply, say, you go, oh, fuck it. This is a tough customer. So then you go, okay, I'll wait a few weeks. and then quadruple and then triple down. A few weeks. Yeah, three weeks and triple down. Right. And then if they don't respond after triple down, I think you're cooked. Right, then you, at that point. So when you stop speaking to someone, you don't realise that it's because of you until a couple of months after.

30:34Well, they might not have seen the above, you know. People have busy lives. They have loads of friends who are texting and stuff. So just making sure, hello, just making sure you saw, you know. The previous hello. Yeah. So hello. All right. Okay. All right. Excellent. Yeah, I think I've been a ghost. I think everyone has at some point. How do you handle being ghosted? Like I said, I don't really notice.

31:02So there's no response. I sort of forget about it. And then when they pop up, I think, oh, I haven't spoke to you for a while. Then you look at their thing and go, shit, I did message them. Yeah, shit, I did message them. No, it's just, if you don't reply, you don't reply. If they wanted to, they would. Mel Robbins. You know what I mean? Just get up, send the message, and if they don't reply, move on. The let them theory. Yeah. Let them have it. Do it. Whenever. Oh, my God. Do you know, actually, this is a really good question. God, yeah, no. Mate, so on Sunday, guess who's pumpkin picking? Oh, nice.

31:40Yeah, guess who's pumpkin picking on Sunday? You. Thoughts on pumpkin picking? You. So you're going the old pumpkin picking as a mouthful, isn't it? I'm going with my family. With the famalem. Yeah, with the family. It should be really, really fun. So pumpkin picking in Parsons Green. And when you say with the old Parsons Green pumpkin picking, and when you say you're going with the old family, Leo? Yeah. Sister, brother, girlfriend?

32:10Just going pumpkin picking, mate. Yeah, so who about the family? Just a fan. Just all related. Yeah, all related. Yeah. No outside. No outsiders. Relations. No. Why are you looking away like that? I don't know. And we're going to carve. Who? I already have an idea of what I want. Just relations are carving. Yeah, just relations are carving. Why would you think it'd be anyone else? What about pumpkin picking means it has to be someone else? Well, you know, it just seems like the sort of thing that you would take someone to and think, that'll be a good date. Do you want to go pumpkin picking? Absolutely not.

32:47No, no, no, don't just say no off the cuff. I'm not, I've thought about it. In all seriousness, do you want to go pumpkin picking? Please. No, it's no relations, remember? Yeah, but what would you, come on, mate, you can bring a shovel. Okay, yeah, I will use it as well to bury myself. Mate, please, just us, me, the family and Pete are going to go pumpkin picking in Parsons Green. We absolutely are not. No, I'm busy. You don't even know when it is? Sunday. Saturday? Busy, Saturday. Yeah. So it's unfortunate because I would have loved it. Have you ever been pumpkin picking? No, I absolutely haven't, no.

33:25To be honest with you, not a big fan. That's a weird pumpkin, isn't it? What a little sort of red one. It's not a real one, that one. Oh, is it moody, is it? They are real. Oh, there you go. Oh, fucking get them out. They're going to stink. Do you know what pumpkin picking is?

33:48There's a reason I'm asking. I mean, I imagine, I mean, listen, this is just off the top of my head and sort of logic. I mean, call me Sherlock if you want, but it's where you pick pumpkins. But they're already picked. Yeah, but you pick the one you want. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know. They're just sort of laid on the floor. Yeah. Yeah, they just send you to a field and you hope to find one with your spade and just dig up after the fucking field. That's what I thought would happen at pumpkin picking. Well, no, they're already fucking picked. They lay them all out in the fucking field and you just wander around.

34:17You don't need a spade. I didn't know this. No, and then you take a little wheelbarrow and you fucking trot along and go, oh, this is a nice one. And they all fucking prod and finger all the pumpkins and try and get the best ones. By the time you fucking get there on Sunday, son, there'd be none left. And the ones that are left will be like that piece of shit there. Sounds like somebody who's been in pumpkin picking before with a wheelbarrow. No. But I've seen it. Because what will happen is everyone will be there in their fucking arms and their cosy little fucking winter jumpers. I love it. It's just going to be you, a picture of Leo in the wheelbarrow.

34:46Do you think it's going to be on the ground? Mate, of course it is. That'll be in the fucking... Wholesome Sam. Be lovely. Peeps will be taking the picture because we can't hard-launch her any more than we already have. But there will be one just for the memes for you two. You know, you two sort of, you know, just both reaching for the pumpkin or whatever. then you'll get home you'll all sit around and you know fucking have a little fucking drink put on some spooky music and start carving your pumpkins up what are you going to carve into yours I want a guy eating another guy's arsehole

35:22do you think that's appropriate for you and Neo to do there's a reason there's a reason yeah it's there there's a reason I saw on Instagram it's one of the most majestic pieces of art I've ever seen in my life it's so good and I have to try I'm going to show it to you Arter we don't need to no I've got to it's so fucking good what will you be carving then? ah just a face just a face with a lantern in it if you've not thought about it is it going to be your first pumpkin carving session it is well that is exciting god mate it's going to be so wholesome you're right though everyone's got their little gilets on they've got sort of spice lattes what are you going to be what are you going to be using to carve have you bought a pumpkin carving kit no but Louise has wonderful excellent so you've got all the fucking tools for it which is good amazing well that does sound like it's going to be fun I'm excited to see the pictures as I'm sure you all are I presume Pippa will see them first because she normally approves your pictures before they go anywhere I actually did send this pumpkin one to Pippa we still okay alright we'll just wait and won't finish the pod until we've found it it is good that so yeah that'll be nice you're gonna get that one done lovely
