It wouldn't be a Buckley's podcast without some listener updates. We've had a listener get in touch with a fresh Sue sighting. Sue! That's how you've got to say it. Laura and Wayne have said, what? Laura and Wayne? Well, it took two people to write an email. That's confused me. They say, hi, guys. We are just back from the most incredible trip to Gozo, the little sister island of Malta. Never heard of it. And look what we found.

29:56Sue, she's moved to Malta. See the picture attached? There she is. There she is. Sue, in a Peugeot 308. There she is. Sue's gone international. She has. I don't know what it is about the number plate, Sue. Loads of people are seeing Sue these days. There is. There's one. There's one. Doing it by mum and dad's house, I know. Or up, should I say. You've got to say Sue. You've got to say Sue. No, I'm not in on that. No, you've got to. So if you see them parking and they're getting out of their car, just run up to them and go, Sue! Right in their face. Go stop doing that. See what happens. It's going to be hurting folks ears.

30:29See what happens. Next up, off the back of our recent shit tattoo chat, we've had a listener get in touch called Tom. Tom says, hi guys, after watching Aston Villa play at Villa Park, I spotted a tattoo on the back of a fan's leg. That's really weird. What? Do you think this is a fan tribute, a relation or the result of a lost bet? And Claire, is this your next tattoo? So it's somebody with just James Buckley tattooed on their calf. Is that a shit tattoo? Yes. Yes. But it just says James Buckley. What? What? That can't be for you. We need to get to the bottom of this. If you have or if you know anyone or ask around that has the words James Buckley, not a picture, not a picture of Jay or anything, because I've seen some in between his sleeves and stuff.

31:22Yeah, there's a few of them. It just says the words James Buckley in an odd place on his leg as well. It's like not centred or anything. It's really weird. That can't be for you. Thanks, Tom. If you can help us out, we'd love to get to the bottom of that. If you were at Aston Villa and you've got a James Buckley tattoo, let us know. Finally, we've had an email seeking some advice. This is from Liam. Liam says, hello, James, Claire and team. That was nice. It's the first time I think you guys have been acknowledged. I need some advice. I was on a cinema date with a girl who kept loudly repeating lines from the film and laughing hysterically.

32:02Oh, here's your advice for you. Get rid. After 20 minutes, I excused myself to go to the toilet and texted my sister saying how awkward it was and if I should leave. Except to my horror, I accidentally sent the text to my date. Oh, dear. I had mixed up her name and my sister's. Both start with Layla, rookie error. When I came back, she just stared. We finished the film in silence. Afterwards, I apologised and gave her chocolates. Classic. There's this bloke, isn't it? There's just a guy. Oh, chocolates. She doesn't want the chocolates. Flowers. Well, what else am I supposed to do then? Well, at least she shut up for the rest of the fucking film.

32:45That's it, mate. She took one and threw the rest on the floor and stormed off. That's dramatic. Oh, yeah, no. Fuck her. Taking one. Yeah, no. No, you're well out of that one. It would have been less dramatic. She's nuts. Yeah, I could accept just her like throwing them on the floor, but taking one and then throwing her at some of the floor. She thinks she's in a fucking film. Yeah, she's got, what do they call it these days? Main character energy. Energy, yeah. Yeah, that's that. Yeah, no, fuck her. You're better off it. Did I handle it wrong or dodge a bullet? No, you handled it perfectly, man.

33:18Well, no, you didn't, but I guess... You handled it perfectly and you dodged a bullet. Well, yeah, fine. Because that's a great story. she kept repeating lines from oh so look if something funny was said she would repeat it and then laugh so it'd be like they'd be like oh no I'm trod in shit I'm trod in shit oh no that's awful yeah I wouldn't have given her the chocolates no would I fuck I wouldn't have came back from the toilet I wouldn't have come back from the toilet I'd have just left you know me run I would have well it depends when he found out what do you mean ah well Did he not find out that he'd text her by accident until he went back in?

33:59No, he must have known. Because if he'd known beforehand, I would have just gone, oh, no. Obviously, that wasn't meant to be for you. Have a nice life. Yeah. See you later. Yeah. Anyway, thank you, Liam, from Australia. Right. Speaking of tech mishaps, and seeing as though it's Black Friday tomorrow, today's theme is all about Black Friday and millennial tech support. From buying gadgets we don't actually know how to use to realising we've officially become the generation that needs help in switching things on, are millennials starting to rely on Gen Z for tech support? Are we losing our tech grip?

34:33And is this the moment we admit we're getting old? I've never been a techie person. No. Never. Don't care about it. Not interested in it. Don't need it. I need a telly and a phone. Both of those things are technology. I know, but I know how to use a telly. That's as far as you go with technology is what you're saying. That's all I need, yeah. Yeah, that's all I need. I don't have an iPad, laptops. I don't use stuff. I don't care. I fucking love tech. I know you do. Absolutely love it. I don't care. I like to switch a light on at the wall. No, I like to tell my phone to switch the lights on. Yes.

35:09I like to put music on. Listen, if we could still... We've got record players. In the kitchen, we've got speakers and stuff that connects to all this stuff that I don't really know how to work. You do that. If I'm cleaning on a Saturday, I'll put the record player on. I don't like it. Everything's confusing. It's pointless. I love it. Got myself a little Thermomix finally. Yeah, you did. That was annoying. Finally managed to get one, which are impossible to get. Which, by the way, how long ago did you get that? I got that maybe a month and a half ago. When I said they're really expensive, you're never going to use it, I am going to use it all the time.

35:47What have you made in it? I've not got round to using it yet, but I will be. I will be as soon as stuff stops dying down as soon as I don't have to keep going on fucking this morning and radio X every fucking five minutes as soon as I can just do this podcast and go home and then spend the rest of my week enjoying myself then I'll start using the Thermomix whatever I want I was looking up the recipes there I'm going to do a little chicken tikka masala that's my first thing that I'm going to do do you know what I mean thank you guys because every time I talk about making a curry he goes what would I want a curry from you and we can just order one.

36:23Yeah, that's fine, right? And that is true. That is true. But, do you know what the Thermomix is? Have you heard about these things? It looks like a big, um, what do they call it? Margarita maker. Right? A blender. But it's not. There's more to it. It's got like an iPad on the front of it and it weighs everything for you. So say if you did want to make a chicken tikka masala, it's not going to do what you would do. Get some pataks and just plop that in some chicken that's in the frying pan. Yeah, but I add all the seasonings. But what you do is you go, I'll have a chicken tikka masala and they go, here's the ingredients you need.

37:00So it's all done fresh. So you get those ingredients in and it tells you how much to add and when to add them. Then it does it all. You plop it in a pot, bosh, you've got traditional chicken tikka masala. Right, whatever. I mean, I don't get how that works. How are you cooking the rice? Because it fluffs the rice steams the rice for you and all that sort of stuff. Who's making the garlic naan? Well, I don't know about the garlic naan. Right, it's just, it's a fucking pot. This is the thing. It's a pot. This is the thing. It will create the dough. You're a mug. It will create the dough for a garlic, for a garlic, for a garlic, for a garlic naan.

37:36He's going to start dribbling soon. No, I'm going to start dribbling. Right, no, they're brilliant. I just haven't had a chance to use it yet. You've not even used it. But I'm going to, as soon as I've got some time. You're a sucker. No, I'm not a sucker.

37:51that you can press a button. You're like, oh, yeah. No, it's going to change our lives, I promise you. I promise you, mate. We are going to be so healthy. Because also, you don't know what's going in those jars. We're going to be so healthy. Those jars of ready-made pasta sauce, the ready-made curry sauce. I made my own bolognese sauce the other day. Yesterday. Yeah, it was yesterday. I made my own bolognese sauce. Yeah, you blended some... Tomatoes and bacon and mushrooms and peppers. Yeah. All right. Well, anyway. You wouldn't know because you ordered food. I've got Popeyes. Stan True's a brand.

38:27Popeyes have been very kind to us lately. So I ordered Popeyes. So the problem is, getting back to the original point, you are quite techie. I don't think I've ever managed to stay on my original point. No, you don't. You are quite techie. Yeah. You kind of do know what you're doing with every new thing that comes out. I'm not techie, but I don't want to be. so yes the kids could probably help me if i needed help with something specific but i don't use i don't really use tech no do i no you don't i don't you're very analog in a digital world what's wrong with that no i was gonna that might be the nicest thing you've ever said to me right okay i like it yeah i'm old school yeah you are yeah um i don't care for tech no don't care for it that's all right because i like it and that's why our marriage works by the way Between me and you, we're one barely functioning adult.

39:22Yeah. Yeah. And also, I don't think the boys are that techie. Jude's probably... No, they are. Is he? Yeah, yeah. Harrison's not. No, Harrison is. Is he? Yeah. Yeah, they are. They've just got it, kids these days. They've just got... They just know what they're doing. I can't think of anything specifically off the top of my head, but I have, as time goes on... Do you prefer Harrison edits videos and stuff really well? Yeah, yeah. As time goes on, the boys do go, oh, have you not thought about doing it like this? And you go, oh, I didn't know you could do that. And they go, yeah. Right. That happens quite a lot.

39:51Right. Because they also work a lot on computers for school as well these days. Yeah, there's a lot of computers. There's not the school computer. No, there's not. But kids are good these days. Kids are all right. They know what they're doing. And yes, we are getting to the age where we're going to be relying on the boys more and more. Yeah, but I don't feel that though because I don't use tech. Well, it might then hit you harder at some point. When everything takes over. When tech takes over everything. Because stuff is confusing. Like going to buy something. And you're like, oh, you just need to use your phone now.

40:23I know how to do that. No, no, no. But it's not like, oh, how much is that coffee? Oh, here's a fiver. No. And then they ring the till. No, you have to sign up for a newsletter and fucking give them all your information and everything. and sometimes tech works really great. Tech's great when it simplifies things, but more often than not, it can make things more complicated. Guy's just asked us if we feel like we're the last generation that had to give our parents tech support. So they'd be calling up going, oh, what have I done with the computer? How do I turn it off and stuff like that? See, my dad was always all right, but I remember when my gran got Sky and there was more than five buttons on the remote and she'd lost her mind.

41:10But I get you calling me up going, how do I get, how do I switch over and I go, you have to press the source button and you have to go, this fucking HDMI thing, man, I still can't get my head around that. I have to go, you have to pick the other HDMI source. And I'm going, I just want to watch the bake-off on Channel 4. Yeah, and I go, we don't have that. And it's all fucking apples and NFL buttons on the, and I'm like, where's just the normal telly? Because we don't have an aerial. like we don't have an aerial connected to our television anymore everything we watch even if we watch live TV BBC, ITV, Channel 4 we watch it through an app and we stream it we don't actually watch yeah I don't like that I don't want that it's just the way it is man because then sometimes it's like buffering buffering and I'm like well Tommy's cake's just sunk and if I don't come back soon I'm not going to know what's happened alright well then and then I come back and Hollywood's trying it and I've missed it well what's easier a bit of buffering or going up on a roof and fixing an aerial and then drilling that into the house and running a wire all the way through.

42:14Why, because I'm going to ask you to dare? No, but I'm just saying. Someday else will dare. It's six and a half a dozen. No, it's not. I want to just watch the telly. You're holding us back, man. I'm not. You're holding us back. I'm down with the kids and I'm like, I'm like, yeah, looking to the future. Whereas you're like, oh, it was so much simpler. What, when you could watch the telly with it? No, but. Just being a wee circle. All right, and then there's a bit of wind and your aerial falls off the roof and then you're fucked. I don't know if things are simpler or more complicated. More complicated.

42:41I don't like it. Maybe it's a bit of each. I hate it. Maybe there's a bit of everything. But I think sometimes it's easy to forget how complicated things have always been. You say, I just want to turn on TV and just watch terrestrial television, right? And then I say, yeah, but then you need an aerial. Then you need to drill through the house from the roof. What happened to the aerial? Because we used to watch normal telly. I don't know, man. Who took the aerial? I don't know. Where did that go? It got phased out. Because we had it. It got phased out. There's an aerial. Look, we do have an aerial.

43:13I knew we had an aerial. No, and there's also a wire going somewhere, but I don't know. We moved. We moved where the television went and all this kind of stuff, and then things just... You move into a different phase. Now, I don't know where the aerial goes anymore. I've got a fucking idea. I don't know how to plug... Like, we don't have a wire. I'm sticking it. We've got an aerial, but I don't know where the wire went. I hate it. I cannae put music on. I cannae put normal telly on. I cannae put the lights on and off. I hate it. It's like living in fucking Star Trek. Yeah, it's great. No, it's not.

43:51That's what we all want. No, I don't. Of course we do. I don't. You just go up to a replicator, which is pretty much a Thermomix. And that's why sometimes you'll come down the stairs, see if we're having like a quiet weekend. Go on. This has happened a few times. I'll be sitting in the living room with the dog and the kids will be off and they're doing their thing and you'll go upstairs and watch fucking Mission Impossible or whatever you're blaring and you'll come down the stairs like three hours later and the telly will still be off and I'm just like sitting on my phone and you'll be like why aren't you watching so enjoying yourself and I'm like because I can't even figure out how to put on what I want you're an idiot you just don't care I just sit there listen you're more than welcome but you don't want to like Sunday because I was like what am I going to do today and I went I think I might stick Jurassic Park on this afternoon perfect and I went do you want to watch it with me and you went no I don't want to watch it with you why do I want to watch Jurassic Park with you again again thank you again and that's fine you've got this thing where you don't watch like if you've already seen a film you're always going no I've seen that it's like you're allowed to watch things more than twice you're allowed to watch things dozens of times no I watched Saturday afternoon nothing on stick Jurassic Park on.

45:04I don't want to watch Jurassic Park. I watch stuff again all the time. We just watch Goodfellas again. We've seen that about a billion times. I know. Jurassic Park, I'm not going to watch all the time. That's all you watch. You watch Jurassic Park, you watch Mission Impossible and what's the fucking Mel Gibson one? Lethal Weapon. You watch that all the time. I do watch Lethal Weapon a lot. All the time. Every time we've got like a Saturday afternoon, you're like, I think I'll go and do the Lethal Weapons. Yeah, yeah. I did all four of them in one day once. You just did it, like a couple of weeks ago.

45:36I just love Lethal Weapon. And you turn up so fucking loud. No, it's because there's... So house shit. No, it's that thing. So I just sit down the stairs with a dog in silence. No, but you're allowed to... You're more than welcome. I'd much rather sit down with you and the dog. I can't have done the telly on. No. I don't know what I'm doing. But I'd much rather sit downstairs and sit with you and the dog and put Lethal Weapon on than have to go upstairs to the bedroom to watch it. Anyway, move on. Right, that's enough about technology or whatever it was we're talking about. Yeah, we just argued for ten minutes.

46:08That's it, baby. We're going to play Strike It Buckley. It's going to be a tech-related one. Ready? I think so. Because we are going to play one of our regular features, Strike It Buckley.
