Just Google out of the Buckleys And they'll find tickets there Okay he's giving me the nod Nice Right Claire How are you?

2:56I'm alright Yeah? Yeah Thanks You know we're doing a podcast Yeah Sometimes it's good to sort of expand a bit Erm My back's a little bit sore Okay Kicking off What's been going on in our lives this week Claire Well Kicking off with a moan to be honest Go for it For a change I'd mentioned a few weeks back how delivery drivers not actually knocking on the door and delivering a parcel, just putting a slip, like a little ninja, sneakily putting a slip through the door, saying, sorry, sorry, you weren't in when you are in. And then just fucking off without making any attempt to deliver the package.

3:36There were a few people in the comments who I assume were delivery drivers. Oh, really? Going, no, no, you must have done something wrong. No, no, no, we don't do that. Done something wrong. What, by sitting in the house waiting for you to deliver the fucking parcel? This is it. You're talking about what I think you're going to talk about? A delivery driver wouldn't dare do that sort of thing. Anyway, I had a delivery booked a couple of days ago, didn't we? Yeah. Important delivery. Yeah. We were all at home. Yep. All of us sat in the living room. Yep. Pretty much by the front door. Yep. All day long.

4:05Because I was waiting for this. Yes. And, you know, we arranged delivery for this day. Yep. We knew we would be home all day. Yep. Claire gets an email. Not even a slip. Nope. Not even a slip through the door that proves that they even came anywhere near the house. Nope. An email saying, sorry, we tried to deliver your package. Sorry we missed you. Yeah, no one was in. We'll try again another day. So it didn't come anywhere near the house. No, fucking liars. Liar. So they've rearranged the delivery day to today. Today. The day we'd already fucking... I'm out all day. We knew we were out today, which is why we asked for it to be delivered a day when we were in.

4:41Yeah. So, listen, don't get at me in the comments going, no, no, no, no. Delivery drivers don't. No, there must have been some kind of mistake. Because this delivery driver didn't even fucking bother. No. Might not have been coming to our town. No. Don't know where he was. Yeah. Liar. So I stand by the original moan. I stand by it. Bare-faced lie. Bare-faced. Sorry we missed you. Bald-faced lie. What's a bald face? Don't know. I say bare-faced. Yeah. Bare-faced lie. Yeah, bare-faced and bald-faced. Not bald. No, you can say bold. Bold face. Oh, bold face. Bold as in like bold. That's bold. Yeah, not bald face.

5:17I thought it was bald face. But bear is the same as bald. Yeah, I guess. I think it is bald face. It's not. Go on, is the phrase bold? Don't look that up for anyone you know. Is it bald face or bald face? Well, you can get a bald face liar. It's a shameless phrase. Yeah, it's the same as bear face. There's nothing on your face. Like your face is bald. That's not... I don't know what bare face means either. A bare face liar is the person who fell late and shameless and is essentially the same thing. Yeah. But it's not bold face, is it? Bold. B-A-L-D. Yeah. What? But the problem is... You don't know sayings.

5:56You don't know sayings and our listeners don't know sayings either. How no one and everyone in this room, how no one knew the white whale. White whale. Anyway. It's become my white whale. The problem is the way you say stuff. It's always becoming my white whale. The way you say stuff always sounds the same. Here, I've got a little test for you. Oh, it's not my fault. It's where I'm from. We don't have... All our syllables are just... Listen. We do all the syllables in the same. A-E-I-O-U becomes... What would you say if I was putting liquid into a glass? Pouring. Right, but not... What would you say?

6:33Just pour? Pour it, yeah. Say the word. Pour. What would you call a dog's foot? paw what would you call something on your on your face the little holes in your face your paws like it all sounds the same go on you say them all then right a dog's paw right paw right I mean paw's the same yeah paw you say paw paw paw yeah I had a history teacher that said pooh pooh pooh it's the pooh yeah I remember that I told you that you said it on the podcast oh have I really yeah how do you say pooh paw right so a dog's front leg is a paw if you paw, paw some milk and if you don't have any money you're paw see I would say poor paw and paw they all sound like different words they are different words they are you say paw paw paw yeah we've still got this language barrier I don't know what my accent is really to be honest because I don't think it's your Essex accent I don't think it's East London I think it what is it?

7:37Estuary The Thames Estuary. Anyway. Yeah, so that's what's been going on. I didn't want to... Usually, our intro chat is what's been going on in our lives this week. Usually that is differentiated from the moan. Right. But they've sort of, like the vowels... Well, that's my moan. They've all blended. My moan is that you say words the same when they should be different. Probably, yeah. Right. Quick little moan for you, Claire. Right? Nothing against the guy. He's a hero of mine. I was there, when was it, 2004? When England won the Ashes. It was absolutely amazing. It was incredible. All those characters.

8:16Is that cricket? Yeah. I just have a problem with Andrew Flintoff's nickname. So, Andrew Flintoff. Yes. England hero, right? Right. Everyone loves him. Yeah. There's no debate in that at all whatsoever. Right. It was 2005. Yeah, I played a lot of cricket in the garden that summer. We were a couple of our mates. Suddenly we were all like looking at woodworm bats and things. Well, he was like the cool, he made cricket cool, didn't he? Flintoff, Kevin Peterson. And then it was brilliant. It was absolutely incredible. It was a great time to be alive. I'll just put that out there. But I've just got a little problem with his nickname.

8:55His name is Andrew Flintoff. His nickname is Freddie Flintoff. No one calls him Andrew. No. Everyone calls him Freddie Flintoff. I just don't think there's enough. There's only Flint. They've concentrated on, out of all the syllables and everything going on, they've concentrated on Flint. Now, if Andrew's name was Fred, I would go, all right, yeah, Freddie Flintoff. Now, but they've gone from Fred Flintstone to Freddie Flintoff, and there's just too much. There's too much to get from one to the other. All they've got is Flint. First of all, he was never called Freddie Flintstone. It was always Fred Flintstone.

9:35Now, if Andrew Flintoff's name was Andrew Flintstone, I'd go, right, Call him Fred. Sure. Or even Freddie. Fred Flintstone, Freddie. You can get, bosh, two steps, you're there. Okay. Fred Flintstone has to go through Andrew Flintoff to get to Freddie Flintoff. This is why... It's just the word Flint. You let stuff bother you way too much. And I just... It's annoyed me for years now. It has because you've already spoke to me about this a long time ago. You have brought this up. Again, I don't have anything against Andrew Flintoff at all whatsoever. I wouldn't want to... I wouldn't want to. He's a big bloke.

10:18He is. He's a great big unit of a guy. I've already learnt my lesson with my Joe Hart beef. Oh, please. He shat himself. But I'm just saying... The jump annoyed you. It's too different. Even if they called him Andrew Flintstone. Andrew Flintstone, sure. Andrew Flintstone. Andrew Flintoff, Andrew Flintstone. Yeah. Listen, I'm not... Girls don't really do nicknames. Girls don't like shorten people's names. Like all your mates call you Buckley. Yeah. That's not a nickname. That's my name. But that's like what they call you. Yeah. Like we don't do that. Yeah. We find all that stupid. Well, a couple of my mates have got nicknames.

11:01One point. Yeah. You know, like when guys go to the pub and they're like, I told her I'd only be coming for one. Yeah. I said to her, it'd just be a quick pint on the way home from work. I'll be home straight afterwards. that's code for I'll have one and then I'll see how I feel and then probably have a couple more. Yeah. He had one pint. Yeah. He came all the way to the pub, had one pint and left. Yeah. From that day on, everyone called him one pint. Yeah. Beach wank. Don't need to go into that. I can't believe you brought that up. Don't need to go into that one. Blob. Blob. Yeah, me and my mate Mark, who Katie knows, we both call each other Blob.

11:42Blob, yeah, I don't know where that came from. I can't remember where that came from. I forget why you call him Blob. Yeah. I forget why you get it back. I can't remember where that came from. Don't know either. Like, I'll call him up and go, you're right, Blobhead, and you go, how's it going, Blobhead? Like, it's so, yeah. We both call each other Blobhead. I don't get that one. That goes back about 20 years, I think. Girls don't do that. Like, we don't, like, I wouldn't call you up and be like, Ray, Raymundo, Rayzard. Everyone loves Raymonds. Do you know what I mean? Like, like, I wouldn't do that.

12:14Yeah. Like, I'd be like, hi, Katie. All right, Jess. Lana Del Rey. Yeah. And that's what you do. Rey of sunshine. It goes to, like, weird. I'm just like, hi, what's happening? But I just, I don't think there's enough in Andrew Flintoff's name. Okay, fine. I might be wrong. And I'm sure everyone's going to disagree with that. And I'm going to be very unpopular. Because also, it is fun to say, Freddie Flintoff. There is joy. Freddie Flintoff. It took me a long time to know that that wasn't his name Yeah exactly but that's it He'll come on a chat show or something And they'll go ladies and gentlemen please welcome Freddie Flintoff And I'll be like His name's Andrew

12:55Anyway that was my moan My pals we've got some nicknames Some crazy ones Some crazy weird nicknames If you've got a nickname Or if your friends have got a nickname Please let us know in the comments And the story behind it There's some really good ones to them on like what do you call it when it's like workmen site there's like an instagram page or something where they've got like really great reasons why they call somebody something yeah and sometimes it's really rude or johnny one ball who's that i'm assuming it's a guy called john we one ball he's only got one ball john yeah he's only got one ball but he lost this do you know him i haven't seen him for years but i used to when i was on building sites and stuff right and um him Him and his mate were carrying a piece of sheet metal, really, really heavy, really, really heavy.

13:46And put it down on a table or a ledge or something like that. Got himself caught. No. Squished. Instantly fainted. It was so painful. He just instantly fainted, lost a bollock. Now he's Johnny Wumble. There and then. Yeah. Like it popped up. It was just disintegrated. The pressure just instantly destroyed a bollock. Wow. Wow And I assume it must have been like half a bollock maybe Or something like that What's the matter Paige? Struggling a little bit It is awful isn't it? Oh please use exaggerate about that Every bloke listening to this podcast now is wincing Oh please God I know yeah How'd he manage to get his balls on top of the table?

14:32Also one One? Yeah one of them Are you sure he wasn't just trying to get out of work for a while or something? No. Pulled a papa joke? That's different. Your grandfather once smashed his thumb or something at work so he could get two weeks off and a compensation payout so he could take his family to Blackpool. Yeah. It wasn't even Blackpool. I think it was like air. Destroyed his own thumb. My papa used to work in the mines and those carts that go by. And I mean, they go like a million miles an hour, really heavy. And him and a couple of his mates all went, like said, right, we'll do it, we'll do it.

15:07And they all shut out and he put his thumb down. destroyed his thumb he had like a big fat thin thumb for the rest of his life didn't he look like a little frying pan yeah all his nail was all broken it never ever went back to normal but he got to take the kids to air for a couple of days and got a couple of quints yeah no it wasn't one of those there's a difference between a thumb and a bollock yeah true you can't open a door with your bollocks that's true that's true the only thing when he fainted was he just hanging I don't know yeah there are questions don't get me wrong there are questions I assume it ripped there was a there was a the sack ripped open there was well he's only got one bollock the boys only got one bollock Johnny Sack Johnny one bollock speaking of Johnny Sack what do you think of my shirt it's a bit Sopranos isn't it it is a bit well I said it was more sort of Charlie Sheen two and a half men I'm going more Tony more sort of Tiger Blood what's Tiger Blood hashtag winning Right, let's do a quick little swipe And we'll be back Because I think we've got some listener updates Right, Claire We're coming to the end of the year We are Yeah, I know It's a quarter of this century Yeah Done So we thought we'd do 2025 The year in moans A year in moans That's what we need from you Great Well, no This is from our listener He's just as bad as you This is from our listener.

16:37Our listeners got in touch with us. Okay, go on. Just some of their general gripes and moans. Okay. They wanted to bring up. Okay. It's all the big hits. Connie says here, the price of coffee. £6 for a latte, get a grip. I think that sounds cheap. I think you're sort of seven, eight quid for a coffee these days. That is crazy. I was watching an old episode of Frasier recently. It's one of the early ones. I think Frasier came out in 93, 94. and the dad goes into the coffee shop. They're like, Dad, can I get you a coffee? And he's like,$1.50 for a coffee? For coffee? And he's like going mental over$1.50, which is what, about a pound.

17:21I know. And it's those old McDonald's menus you see and it's like 25 pence for a burger. I remember it, Claire. It was£2.88 for a big burger. Mac meal. Right, yeah. Wow. When I grew up, it was£2.88 for a Big Mac meal. Then they brought out the pounds saver menu. Yeah, yeah. That was genuinely a double cheeseburger for a quid. Yeah. So if you've got two quid on you, two double cheeseburgers, yum yum. Thank you very much. Yeah. So inflation. Well, she's just saying, Connie's just not happy with the price of coffee. And I would argue that no one's been happy with the price of coffee for the last 30 years, I think.

17:59I think the last 30 years we're all just going, fuck it, I'm going to charge an a fortune for these coffees. Anyway. Make them in the house, man. Well, you were saying that guy... Fancy coffee people. That guy bought his coffee machine and you... Aye, that was about£7,£800. Yeah, if you're paying£6 for a fucking latte. Lottie? Within a year. Aye, but just have normal coffee and treat yourself every so often. People love a coffee. People are very passionate about their coffee. Dan's here saying restaurants adding an optional tip. if I want to I will don't add it for me right so here's the thing we disagree with this right because I am very much of the opinion that if the service was good if you were a good waiter or waitress then I will tip you if the service was shit you're not getting a tip you don't deserve a tip no but you tip no matter what I've got to I'm a man in the media Claire and people love this bloke off the telly didn't give us a tip story but then I would So even when I go to a restaurant and it is shocking and the food's cold and the glasses are filthy and all that kind of fucking nonsense, I have to go, oh, it's so lovely.

19:12Thank you. You should. I'm so lucky to be here because I'm not allowed to just be a customer. You are. You are. It's not the way the world works. It is. Because also not only, well, that's it. People lover this guy off the television. He's got money, but he didn't tip. And then everyone reads that and goes, yeah, I can imagine. doing that. Yeah, what a little fucking prick. But if I saw that comment, I would reply and go, no, I didn't tip because the mac and cheese was freezing, the chips were stale. No one cares about that. No one cares about that. And then all of a sudden, I'm bent over, Claire.

19:46They've got me over a barrel. They're fucking me right up the arse. They're balls deep in me, baby. Every day I leave the house is a PR exercise. It's like I'm fucking running for president or something, which I am, let's face it. but everything, I'm kissing babies, not in that way. You know, I go to a pub and I'm always like, oh, three pints of Stella and get one for yourself, please. So they go, oh, he was a nice guy. That's fine. He was a nice guy. Right, but... Because if I do something that is, even if I'm well within my rights to go, hey, you're taking a fucking piss now. Yeah. Like, can you get your bum out for my wife and give her a moon or something?

20:26And I go, well, I'm not really comfortable doing that. All right, then. Right. I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying. Sorry, sorry. But I still, I just think the tipping thing is... Tipping, if you do a good service, tip. Yeah, yeah. And my thing's 20%. Yeah. I add 20 % to the bill. See, I don't work at it. It's whatever I've got in my puss, right? If I've got a fiver and it was really great and the waitress was lovely, I'll leave it. No, I do 20%. No. But I do it whether the service is shit. I don't agree with that. I think you're letting them fuck you up the arse. well sometimes you know you love it don't you sometimes you just like to be fucked up the arse clip anyway clip that clip that James oh is that me or is this another James okay James says here you can't just call companies anymore it's always a chat bot I mean you have said that beer do you want to get a beer James feel like we'd have a lot in common Clara says every store asking for your email yeah Everyone wants your fucking phone number.

21:30Where do you live? I hate that. I remember, and this was actually ages ago, right? Like a couple of years ago. I was in River Island and I was buying, I think I was with Harrison, and I was buying them a couple of new little bits and we got to the tell and I paid for everything and then she's like ringing stuff up with her and she's like, oh, can I just get your email? And I was like, I don't have an email. She was like, what? You don't have an email? You don't have an email? And I was like, no. She was like, well, I don't know. I don't know what to do. I was like, how about you just fucking print me a receipt?

22:03Because the receipt was coming to my email. And she was like, oh, yeah, I guess. And I was like, yeah, you can. Say no to these people. I hate this. Got to stop standing up for ourselves. Yes. We've got some more moans here. Luke. Luke says the fucking six, seven thing that my kids say when they see a number six and seven. It does my tree in, says Luke. Now I don't know I don't know what this is from But I know what it is I only get the reference from an episode of South Park That's where I got it from Well Hardison and Jude have been doing it Well no but they've only just started Doing it since I did it to them Because I did say Oh we'll probably leave about 6-7 today And then I went 6-7 And they went oh no They're like oh dad don't do that They'd never done it to me And they were a bit like, how do you know about that?

23:00Yeah, yeah. And I said to them, right, can you explain it to me? And they said, the joke is that it's pointless. There's nothing behind it. What's the matter with these kids? It's not even funny. And they cling on to these stupid things. So don't worry, Luke, sit tight. It's coming to an end. Amelie says people wearing a blur shirt to an Oasis concert. That's quite funny. Macy says people who got Oasis tickets who aren't even fans happened to me when I was at Wembley there was a bunch of middle class fucking posho that went out for a meal you've done this I know but they were cosplaying as Oasis fans it did I was like I was talking to Chris I was going they need to shut up because I can't hear the fucking music but I got accused you did yeah it was like oh he gets to go just because he's off the television yeah Why not give it to real fans?

23:53Literally got fucking live forever tattooed on my arm. Jesus Christ. We know, we know, we know, we know. Are you looking for support in your weight management journey?

Celebrity's going to space, yeah. Yeah, no, that's not a good one, is it? It's not like, it is a bit like, guys, read the room. Everyone's fucking struggling. and we're all having a shit time right now. Like, I'm not. I'm having a great time. I'm off the television, sure. But I try not to rub anyone's nose in it. Like, I'm trying not to sort of be fucking Katy Perry up in space. It's a mental move. Absolutely insane.

26:31Oh, these people have PR people. Does no one go up to them and go, leave it. I'd leave it, love. Everyone else is a bit miserable and they don't want to see you having a fucking amazing time in space. See, I don't get that stuff, right? Because that doesn't... It's just about being sensitive. I get that, but what difference does it make if somebody goes into space? What's that idea with you? Listen, I'm all for space travel. I'm all for the final... How does that make a difference? I'm all for the final frontier. It is about somebody who has absolutely fucking everything anyway. Right. Who arguably...

27:09Listen, if you're into it or not, you can argue whether they deserve it or not, right? Deserve what? To go into space? No, all the stuff that they've already fucking got. Right, OK. Maybe if they sent Paul McCartney up in space, I'd go, he's done his time, he's contributed. Katy Perry. Do you know what I mean? It is, though. People do. People do. People are upset. People are fucking fed up. You know it. We're fed up and we've got a great life. No, I know, but I just don't get what Katy Perry getting into space has got. You're on the wrong side. Okay, I just don't get it, that's all. You're on the wrong side.

27:42You're sticking up for Katy Perry. I'm not, I don't give a fuck. When the whole world has decided. I don't give a fuck. I couldn't get less if she fucking didn't come back. I know. I don't get what that means. That's all I'm saying. I'm explaining it to you. Okay, fine. And you keep saying I don't get it. I'm explaining to you. Most of the world, we're part of the world. We understand what everyone's going through. Yeah. And we're all sensitive to the shit. It's our friends and family. Yeah. We got lucky. We fucking trod in shit and come out smelling the roses somehow, right? Most people are fed up.

28:10Yeah. And the last thing they want to see is someone like us, who are lucky, fucking getting taken to space for no good reason. On the back of basically a load of workers that work in big warehouses that are getting paid fuck on. Oh, yeah, because it was the Amazon guy, wasn't it? Right. So that's it. And people turn around and go, well, that's shit. I'd love to get his shit. Would you go into space? I'd love to go into space so badly. Would you? But I think I'd leave it. Yeah, but that aside, would you do it if you could? I'd love to, man. Really? I'm obsessed with space. Yeah. I do think it's the future.
