A Run In With...The Police

23:33Clair Buckley:Apparently. And I've got one here for you, Claire. Easy home extension. You'd like a little extension on the house, wouldn't you? I would. Sure. Well, they're expensive, aren't they? Yeah. They're a pain in the arse. Extensions can take months, can't they? Yeah. It could take a year if you've got a big enough extension. Don't you worry, Claire. I've found this person here. You can just pick up an old van and paint it to the house. I'll just show Claire the picture there. Yeah. And I'll try and describe it to our listeners. It looks like an old – it's America. I can tell by the license plate. But it looks like an old sort of transit van.

24:09Clair Buckley:and it has been sort of, it's as if the house... They've even put wood cladding on the side of it. It's as if the house has sort of taken it and become a part of, like... Yeah, like Monster House. Have you ever seen that film? Yeah, so you don't... Just get yourself a knackered old van. Well, let's be honest. Make it a part of the house. The ultimate hack is still co-op's new range served. I was just about to say that, Claire. I do like that name, served. Absolutely. It's a bit like here. Yeah. Don't worry about it. Served. Well, dinner is served. These are ready to cook meals made with fresh ingredients and they're ready in just 30 minutes.

24:54Clair Buckley:No faffing about, no peeling garlic with a spoon, just delicious food, Claire. And proper portions. Enough for both of us, which is handy because you eat like a sparrow and I eat like a bin man. Those bin men, they do eat a lot. The range has loads of Italian-inspired mains and sides that you can mix and match, like chicken and mushroom Alfredo with fusilli pasta and Mediterranean vegetables or ciabatta sticks. Or Italian-style meatballs with fries and Italian roasted veg. Or even aubergine parmigiana with garlic herb potatoes and a green veg medley parmigiana. Now you're talking prego. And the deal is spot on too You can choose one main and two sides For just£7 for co-op members And you can grab it in store Or get it delivered to your door In as little as 20 minutes With co-op delivery Uber Eats deliver out or just eat That's quicker than me deciding What fashionable outfit to wear that day Yeah And still ending up in trackies Yeah does it take you that long?

Fresh meals, proper portions, zero stress. Dinner is served. £8 for non-members, Co-op group membership required, subject to availability. See co-op.co.uk slash serve for details. Delivery partners, T's and C's apply. Claire, we've had a listener get in touch. Good, good. Alan. Al's got in touch with us. Alan. His message, the subject to his message is undermined by the under nine. There you go. He says, hi, James and Claire. My eight-year-old son keeps calling me bruh.

26:43Clair Buckley:Yeah, well, that answers your question, Alan. He goes on to say, as parents, has anything like this happened to you before and how do I make it stop? Alan from Glasgow. Is that your cousin? Maybe. Is that cousin Alan? No, he's two L's. No, Alan, you're absolutely right. We're going through the same thing. Although it's not bruh. We don't get bruh. We get bro. Bro. Bro. Bro. So we decided to make the, off the back of that message, we decided to make the theme of this podcast, this episode, sorry, Down With The Kids. I'm not being funny. I had a little look at them and there's a lot of them I do know and it's only because we've got a 13-year-old son.

27:21Clair Buckley:Okay. All right. Had we not had that, I would not know. I've not heard these words outside of the context of our kid. Okay. First of all, some classic 90s examples for you. Safe. Safe. Like, it's all good. All good. Wicked. Yeah. Classic. Cool beans. Kids aren't saying cool beans. No, but they did in the 90s. Oh, okay. Right, yeah. What was it? Was it the Thornberries? The Wild Thornberries. Didn't the kid always say cool beans or something in that? Oh, I don't know. I might be getting mixed up. Maybe. I love the Wild Thornberries. It's great. Respect. Yeah. Or respect without the T. Yeah, without the T, yeah.

28:01Ali G, you want it?

28:02Clair Buckley:Allow it. Sorry? Allow it. Allow it. Allow it. Allow it? Yeah. No, not for it. Allow it. Leave it. It's fine. Allow it. Let it go. Forget it. Pucker. That's very English. That's not one of mine. I want to know actually, Paige, do some typing and get on Google. Does the word pucker come from pucker pies? Or are pucker pies called pucker pies because the word pucker existed already? No, because pucker is P-U-C-K-E-R no P-U-K-K-A or in fact I don't know how Pucker Pies is Pucker Pies is what you get from the chip shop fit, she's well fit again we don't I feel like that's quite an English thing fit, yeah we don't say that Minger, Butters she was Butters bruv I think I've told that story the only reason I know what Butters means is because I was called it once in a club Right.

28:59Clair Buckley:Who said that? There was like... Oh, get him. Yeah, I was in Glasgow in the garage. Oh, kill him. There was like a group of boys behind me and I could hear them talking about me and then I turned around and then they were like, buzz, buzz. And I didn't know what it meant and I asked one of my male friends and they said, everything's good, butter face. I was like, oh. Hmm. Thanks. I've got some information on pucker pies. Thank God. Thanks, Paige. Pucker pies were named after the Hindi word pucker, meaning genuine or properly good, and were not named after an existing product. The name was chosen by founders Trevor and Valerie Storer in 1964 to reflect the quality of their delicious pies and the values of their company.

29:47Clair Buckley:Trevor? It entered English slang during the British colonial period in India and became a bit of slang in the UK. So it was obviously brought back from India, which I think was all we brought back from there.

30:03Clair Buckley:Anyway, that was why we were there. We were just admiring their language. That was it. This episode is brought to you by Diet Coke. Hey, Claire, we've never really fit the mould, have we? No. We haven't. But that's the thing. Being a bit of a square peg has actually helped. We've made a life out of just being exactly who we are. I mean, look, people actually listen and apparently enjoy this. Yeah, it's mad, isn't it? But basically being yourself is always better. All you've got to do is own your tastes. Whatever you're doing, even when you're having a little Diet Coke break like we are now. And as a little treat to celebrate all that individuality, Diet Coke have got some goodies up for grabs.

30:48Look out for the packs with This Is My Taste written on them. Scan the QR code for a chance to win prizes like five grand in cash and merch signed by their ambassador, Mr. Jamie Dornan.

31:02Clair Buckley:Sweet. Design your can for a chance to win in the Coke app. Teas and seas apply.

31:12Clair Buckley:Do you hear that? Sounds like breakfast is ready. Because Quakers coming in hot with morning nutrition. 100 % whole grain oats and a good source of fibre to fuel the rhythm of your morning and kickstart your day. And that sounds absolutely delicious. Fuel to start whatever's next. Quaker, official sponsor of FIFA World Cup 26. I, O, let's go! Here's some examples for you, Claire, and you're going to know some here of some, what would you call, modern day vernacular. It's giving. Yeah, I know that. It's giving office worker. It's giving Willy Wonka. Sexy secretary, like if you put a pair of glasses on.

32:01Clair Buckley:Right. Riz. Charisma. No cap. So some of these things I say to my boys in our group chat and it kills them. Like they hate. because I'll be like, boys, we're going to get a McDonald's tonight, no cap. I'm like, oh, dad, dad. What does no cap mean though? Not lying, serious. Right, okay. Serious, no cap. Okay. There's a couple of, I mean, we're of an age, Claire. You're bulking me in, were you? I hate to break it to you. There's six months between the two of us. We're in an age, Claire. Seven actually, we figured that out. We're in an age, Claire, where slang even when I think I'm being ironic and trying to be down with the kids with my kids the slang I'm saying has has been gone yeah it wasn't a thing that I said when I was a kid but now I'm so old that I've completely missed the window because I say because do you remember when and I hate it now I say it all the time to them it's like yeah yeah we're gonna do it yeah yeah and I go yeah we'll just do it for the lols yeah and they're like oh dad yeah um slaps oh something slaps It hits Yeah Yeah Fire Gas See fire That's Like I'd say That was like a beatnik Sort of Jack Kerouac would say Oh that was a real gas man Yeah Does that now come back It's like groovy Yeah Oh that was gas daddy-o That sort of thing I know what fire means Fire means like It's just really good Yeah awesome Cool Harrison's I think Harrison has said Those noodles That you made my mum Were fire Sheesh Is that how you say that?

33:45Clair Buckley:I've got sheesh here. I feel like I've heard Harrison say that.

33:53Clair Buckley:Drip. Check the drip out. Oh, see, a drip to me means you're a bit. Yeah, a bit of an idiot. Yeah, that's what my teachers would call me at school. Oh, I don't know. Where do you want to go? Yeah, think about it, you drip. Yeah. What does drip mean there? Oh, like jewelry. No. Well, I think it did mean that as well. but your outfit oh I thought that was a fit oh god yeah I mean it's this is awful bussing that's bussing yeah yeah that means really good period see that's been around for years a kid's saying period that's an American thing because we don't say we don't say period we say full stop it's a full stop we should start that hey full stop yeah said what I said well no but didn't you have like adults saying that to you don't do that full stop oh yeah yeah Yeah, you may be right.

34:43Clair Buckley:Just don't full stop. Yeah. Fam. Fam, yeah. Goated. Goat, the goat. The goat. The GOAT. Greatest of all time. Yeet. Yeah, I don't know what that means. Apparently Clarkson came up with that. No, he didn't. There's a video going around on social media. I think it's like, I think it's in the early 2000s or even the late 90s. I think it's the mid 90s, actually. when Top Gear wasn't the Top Gear that everyone knows now. It was the original Top Gear. Yeah. And he was just in a car that was really fast. Or maybe he threw something or something like that, and he just goes, yeet. Right. But what does yeet mean nowadays, though?

35:30Clair Buckley:I think it means to throw something. You just yeet that out the window. Oh, is that what that means? Oh, okay. Yeah. Touch grass. Harrison said that the other day. Yeah, he did get it saying touch grass, bro. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. What does that mean? Just like, just like take a break. Log off, get real. Right. Main character energy. Yeah. Harrison's got that as well. To be fair, even though I've not coined the phrase main character energy, I have for years, because Harrison will say something like he said something once that he was at school and it was like. Oh, don't do this to him. It's funny. Oh, He exaggerates the story, does Harrison.

36:13He's a showman.

36:15Clair Buckley:He thinks he's... When he regales a tale, it's as if he's fucking Marty McFly or something. And for years I've gone... We're all just characters in Harrison the movie, aren't we? I've said that to him for years. Flex, showing off. We know that one. Ratio. Ratio? What does that mean? I mean, even the explanation, I don't understand. I think I'm so old. What does it say? Online dunking when replies slash likes outnumber original. So is that if someone's reposted something or stolen some content at jamebuckstagram on TikTok. I'm fucking coming for you, by the way. Don't think I've forgotten about you.

36:56Clair Buckley:I've tried to get you. I've tried. I've reported you. To ratio equals to outnumber someone's likes or upvotes with a reply. Oh, so the reply has got more traction than the actual post. Skrt. Skrt, skrt. I've heard that. That's a car sound, also meaning leaving quickly. Kids are fucking dumb, aren't they? Shook. This is so stupid, man. Shook. Yeah, you're shocked. Yeah, but you've said that for years. I'm shooketh. Yeah, that's what you say. I say shooketh. Yeah, I'm shooketh. Yeah, like a little Shakespearean twist on it. Like a little ye olde English. Stan. Now, I know what Stan is because that came from the Eminem song, Stan.

37:42Clair Buckley:Yeah, that makes sense, doesn't it? So it's like when you're a huge fan of somebody, yeah, you're a Stan. And here are some of the latest sayings that have recently been added to the Oxford Dictionary. Skibbity. Right. Now, this is fucking, you're playing into these pricks with this nonsense. What does skibbity mean? A slang term that can mean cool, bad, or sometimes nothing at all. Great. Perfect. I mean, that is, I mean, I am, I'm not young. I'm not a young man anymore. Because that is how I would describe Jude's, our kid's generation. Cool, bad, nothing at all. Yeah. Yeah. Skibbity toilet res.

38:28I've heard that. I don't know what that means.

38:30Clair Buckley:In 2023 on TikTok, people mashed the nonsense word Skibbity with toilet memes and distorted animation, creating the now infamous Skibbity Toilet series, which is a weird. See, I'm on Instagram all the time looking at lobster men and stuff like this. I've not had any of this come up for me. Weird CGI toilets with heads sticking out, battling humanoid cameramen. I don't know what that means. The boys have got this little toy and it's a toilet with a man's head coming out of it. It's sitting in their playroom and it's a tiny little thing. I never knew what it was. That's what that is. This is annoying, mate.

39:13I know. Can we move on?

39:14Clair Buckley:I am just getting angry. Delulu, delusional. Yeah. And trad wife, which is short for traditional wife, refers to a married woman who embraces homemaking and childcare role reflecting a controversial return to traditional gender. Oh, God forbid. They're just called wives. Yeah. No, it would be a stay-at-home. It's a stay-at-home wife. It's not a working... Well, that's why they get married, innit? Oh, shut up. I was a trad wife for many a year. Yeah, you hitch your wagon to some go-getter and you get to get up to the good life. Hitched my wagon, brought up some kids, did it all early, look at me now.

39:54Clair Buckley:Exactly Getting drunk on a Monday afternoon Talking into a microphone For some reason Life's confusing isn't it And all that's done Is made me feel Afraid And And And nervous I didn't like that Conversation Paige Whose fault is it Alan's Alan's for bringing it up No to be fair Alan You've got a really good point mate I'm terrified No the bro thing though Like Harrison and Jude Do do that to me Bro If I'm like oh sorry yeah I forgot to put the oven on dinner will be 20 minutes late bro I'm like fucking bro who are you talking to bro they're just doing it for the lulz so yeah I think it's time we move on from that little section of the podcast however I think that that was on fleek it's what the kids are saying these days aren't they well done it was a joke it was a joke Right, Claire, we've just got a little bit of time for Buckley's Law.

41:05Clair Buckley:This is a segment where we discuss the new laws that we will pass when we're in power. There'll be lots of people doing that when they hear our laws. A reminder to keep them coming in by emailing thebuckleys at platformmedia.uk or message us at the Buckley's Pod on Instagram and TikTok. But before we hear from listeners with their Buckley's laws, a quick one from us and our poor producers. Please, please stop emailing us about your bum wiping techniques. All right. It's gone too far. We've received countless emails from squatters, hoverers, scrunchers, folders, reverse cowboyers. Enough is enough.

41:51Clair Buckley:We don't need any more. Hey, how dare you? You let these people say what they want to say. No, but I think the problem is that... Nobody's replying to anything else. Yeah, we're just getting bum wiping techniques. We've got enough. We've got enough bum wiping technique. So if you were going to email us about your bum wiping technique, maybe you've got something else that you could let us know. You know, when I was a little girl at school and people used to ask me, what do you think you'll do when you grow up? I always saw myself talking to an audience, telling them to stop sending in their bum wiping techniques.

42:23I knew this is where I would end up. You were living the dream, babe. I knew this was it. You're living the dream, mate.

42:28Clair Buckley:I've got a new law or a potential law from Al. It says here, count me out. Oh. Please ban people that tell you how old their kids are in months, e.g., oh, my son is 37 months old. he's fucking three stop it yeah once it gets past the 12 month mark I don't know I think 18 months because it's that's a given yeah it's the clove size isn't it yeah they don't do it they do do it like they do say 24 months they don't say two years yeah but when you're talking to another person let's say two I suppose I've never said oh you know you don't know how old they are I do in fact I just said that Harrison's How old is he?

43:16Clair Buckley:Yeah. 13. Yeah. I'll tell you what, we've got lots of stuff to push through as soon as we get into power. Okay. I'm not sure that's going to come top of the list. I would say let's revisit it because it does sound annoying. It is annoying. Yeah. So I'm not saying no, but I'm just saying... Revisit. We'll come back to that one now. Okay. Bring it up in Parliament. Paul is here. Paulie. He just says, I don't get it. He says, hi all. I'd like to get rid of all the twats that when getting served at the coffee shop say, can I get? You can't fucking get a skinny caramel latte Beatrix. You can have one like every fucker else.

44:02Clair Buckley:When do people start asking to get things instead of asking if they can have? It's usually some fucker who looks like they work in a recruiting office. Regards, Paul the brewery manager. Paul, I'm guilty of this. I got to be honest. It's an Americanism. It's an Americanism that's infiltrated. Right. Okay. I was going to say, I don't really understand that. When I go to a McDonald's drive-thru, I go, can I get a large... That's not what we say? You should say, could I have. Right. It's an Americanism that's infiltrated. Right. I'm guilty of it. And do you know what, Paul? I'm not going to... Uh-oh.

44:38Clair Buckley:I'm going to, you know, be the change that you want to see. even though I am guilty of that, Paul, I am going to implement it. Oh, it's in? I'm going to make it a law. And should I do it, then I'll have to face the consequences. Lewis or Louis? I think that's Louis. Could be both. Well, listen, after you've done 50 ,000 cameos like I have, and somebody wants a video to Lewis, and they go, you didn't say his name right. Lewis is L-E-W-I-S. Louis is L-O-U-I-S. I'm just talking to you from experience. Okay. It can be, Google it, because I go, because I then double check it and I Google it and it goes, it can be pronounced Louie or Lewis.

45:21Clair Buckley:Okay. Subject, tidy trim. Is this for you? Is this, sorry, I was just reading it. I just wanted to make sure this wasn't a criticism of you. Says here, hi guys, love the podcast. When you get into power, can you make it a law that everyone. When? Did he say when? When you get into power, can you make it the law that everyone must keep their bushes trimmed? Oh, come on. So this is something that you're guilty of, isn't it? You can't do it all the time. Whilst walking the dog, we pass several houses. Oh, sorry. Because you can't do it all the time. It hurts. You've got to wait a certain amount of time until it grows out.

46:04Otherwise, you end up all...

46:05Clair Buckley:But yours grows back in five minutes. Listen. I've got Italian heritage I'm a very thick haired woman Whilst out walking the dog we pass several houses where the bushes hang over the pavement meaning we have to walk on the road There's a couple of places in my life where the bush where there's already where there's already a thin pavement to walk on on a busy road mind I think you know what I'm talking about It's near the co-op Yes And the person's house is bush. I'm not joking. He's taking up half of an already thin, dangerous road pavement where there's kids. Yeah. There's all sorts going on.

46:51Yeah.

46:52Clair Buckley:And you have to. You have to do this thing. And by the way, it's about 25 yards. It takes up how long it is. And you have to do like, you know, like oncoming traffic sort of thing. you have to stand there and wait for people to walk through and it's a whole thing all the time it's like no go on you come through yeah get your fucking bush trimmed is what I want to say it's getting in the way it's stopping me from doing what I'm trying to do it makes everything a lot more that's the problem it's just that you don't know when you get to that bush you don't know where you're fucking gone you don't know whether you're going back and forward or straight and back, you just don't understand it maybe, I can't see where I'm going maybe you just don't know what you're doing I've just said it's already treacherous and dangerous as it is, I want to be able to see what's on the other side sometimes you should have learned how to do that a long time ago before we got to this point and that's why there's no point in trimming it, because there's always some idiot coming through who doesn't know what they're doing anyway anyway well this this Lou I'm just gonna call you Lou this this is this is up for debate that one we'll again we'll come back to it right that's it for this week's episode of the Buckleys thank you so much for listening really thank you and remember that you can get in touch with your stories and questions by emailing thebuckleys at platformmedia.uk or you can message us at the Buckleys pod on Instagram and TikTok and don't forget that's a burp that's a burp and don't forget to follow and subscribe to the show on Spotify or whatever podcast app that you like to use might I suggest Spotify and if you're feeling extra generous why not go ahead and leave us a review all that is left is for Claire to say see you next Thursday thanks guys thanks for listening that was a podcast go on the Chafedons Chafedons make spots our back please Chafedons
