1:31James Buckley:I can't help. I don't know what it is. He's like... I don't know why that is. Spielberg just went, you can take your two foot dinosaurs, right, and shove them up your ass. We're trying to scare the out of eight year old kids. Exactly. I'll tell you something, there is something scary about Big Bird. Do you think? And his eyes were so big and he'd like... People were going, oh, that's a really good thing. I'll go, that's a really good thing. Or if they're going, oh, look at that, that's. Yeah, no, you're right. James, you're the one. Have you done your vocal warm-up before this? Ready. Is that you?

2:07James Buckley:Yeah. Do mine quickly. This is the story of an ordinary teddy bear. When he was made, they found something wrong with him, threw him away like a piece of rubbish into a cold, dark store room. Then from outer space, a spotty man brought him to life. It was cosmic dust. He took him to a magic cloud where Mother Nature gave him special powers. that bear became super dead.

Neither one of us wanted to touch the button on the train this morning no that well you just were really obvious about it i know yeah so we were in that great position that we've talked about we positioned ourselves right in the doors yeah we know where the door is gonna stop and then there was just this second and you were further ahead and obviously lady yeah yeah and you were just like and you got your little elbow well your big elbow yeah Did it with your elbow. And then I was like, you were waiting for me to do that.

3:52I was like, yeah, I don't want to touch the button.

3:55James Buckley:But I'd hand sanitised it with me. You did. So we were fine. We were all good, mate. You do have really long elbow bones. Really weird elbows, yeah. Like they poke right at. Really pointy elbow. Yeah. They are. Look at that. That is insane. Proper points at. It's like a witch's hat, isn't it? Anyway, apart from that, you all good? Yeah, I'm good. I'm fine. I've got to start remembering to pick my nose before... You start recording? No, I cut my fingernails. I cut my fingernails this morning and I can feel stuff up there. And I tried to get up there before I left and it was just like... There's no purchase.

4:43really it was really frustrating because I was like oh I can feel you if I could just get like under you

4:48James Buckley:you're annoying you're stop stop just stop just stop it's gross it's annoying you're hitting everything yeah you don't like you don't pick your nose everybody picks their nose but I'm just but the way you get into so much detail about stuff no but you know what I'm talking about it makes me see stuff in my head and then I feel ill before I cut my nails I had like long nails that needed cutting right and they were great I was just like getting all up in there getting it off from under the nail right you see stop come on that's too much don't honestly I'm not allowed to talk about that no that's minging that is really minging right well welcome to we should just call this podcast Claire's High Tower shouldn't we you could aye if you wanted to Claire's High Horse sure say it Claire's high horse who doesn't want you talking about you picking your nose but does it but does it anyway she picks her nose as well I mean you don't need to talk about it and I don't even mind talking about it it's the great detail I'm just trying to explain to you the situation the frustration that I had this morning right I was like screaming I was like ah it was so annoying I was like I can feel you right okay well I'm sorry for you I'm violently blowing my nose in the sink and stuff to try and get stuff out of it, which is bad for your nose.

6:17So you're picking it?

6:18James Buckley:Do you know, I actually do try to not pick my nose because even when I'm alone, all that stuff, because I heard that you can stretch your nostrils out. I think you can stretch your nostrils out. You can also... I don't want that. I've already got quite big nostrils. Sometimes you get into a nice, like, little, you get into, like, what I like to call a scab cycle. Yeah. Yeah, you do. The little scab on the side. You've maybe picked your nose a bit too much, and then you get a scab, and then you have to keep picking that as well. And it sort of makes your eyes water a little bit, but there's something really nice about it.

6:54You know, you get addicted to it, don't you?

6:58James Buckley:Shit happens. That's it. That wasn't in my notes to talk about. Thank God. today that would be a new law I have actually got something that I was going to bring up to you on this very podcast nose picking no no no I'm moving on for that toenails no so a lot of nail material I've had over the last couple of episodes on this podcast that's why I'm telling you to rein it in right it's gross okay me and our son Harrison were having a conversation the other night we were sitting downstairs and we were chilling out and he turned to me and he went mom if they made jurassic park today would you go and i was like immediately yes yeah i was like that's actually a good question a it's a great question to ask your dad because you're obsessed with jurassic park absolutely but obviously and then i then we were getting into it right we were getting into like the pros and cons and stuff and i said is it today as in like the films have been made we know what happened there and he was like yeah yeah yeah everything's the same and they actually make it they've just gone oh we can actually do it yeah would you go yeah so that was my question for you yeah the answer is yes that's the problem wouldn't you be scared but that's the problem with us because how much control can you have over a dinosaur well clearly none well that's what I'm saying that's the our problem as a species is that we just don't learn yeah we just don't learn we don't learn anything yeah but if you did if there was a Jurassic Park opening, I'd be like, I know, I know.

8:36I know. I've seen all the films and they're all a disaster.

8:39James Buckley:They are, yeah. None of them are ever. They just go for a nice trip. Have a lovely day. Have a lovely day. They go and visit the concession stands and get a hot dog or something and they're just sitting there watching some brachiosauruses. No. Never goes like that in Jurassic Park in any of those films. No. Usually people would die quite a lot, get eaten by dinosaurs. Well, here's the question then. If you could go, right, but you genuinely had to sign something. I'm sure you would have to, yeah. I'm sure you'd have to sign a waiver. Obviously, to a certain extent, we cannot control this. Yeah.

9:16James Buckley:Would you go? Yeah, I'd have to. Would you? I'd have to go. Oh, I would definitely go. I'd have to go. And as obsessed as I am with that film, Jurassic Park. It's your favourite film, isn't it? Yeah, I would still go. Especially if it was called Jurassic Park. well yeah that would be it they actually did it if they'd made a deal with Universal or something they were like should we actually do a Jurassic Park that would be quite good wouldn't it it's funny you should bring that up actually because I recently watched a YouTube video I think it was like a couple of days ago and it was a YouTube video and it was like what would the actual genuine cost of building a Jurassic Park be did Harrison watch this for you this is where the conversation must have came for no he didn't oh did he not oh that's weird But it did.

10:00It ran through all the outgoings. And I think it was like a couple of billion to start it up.

10:07James Buckley:Wow. Because first of all, you've got to buy a couple of islands off the South American coast. Right. That's going to cost you some money. Then you've got to pay for all these top scientists to work on the technology. Then the infrastructure, the enclosures and all that sort of stuff. Yeah. And then it went in. So that's your startup. And they were like, you're already about two billion. Yeah. You're already about 2 billion. And then it was like, and then you've got to feed them. Feed them, that's what I was thinking. Pay for the people to work there, security. They were like, insurance is going to cost a fortune.

10:40James Buckley:Yeah, God, yeah. Because we all know what happens, don't we? Yeah, yeah. People getting sat on the toilet, getting eaten by a T-Rex. That's right. And it was like a couple of billion to start it and maybe 250 to 300 million a year to run it. Right. And I was thinking that wouldn't even touch the sides with someone like Elon Musk. I knew you were going to say that. I knew you were going to say that. Like he wouldn't even notice if a couple of billion left. Which is insane. And he could easily fund 250, 300 million a year. He could do his own private Jurassic Park. He could be. Wow. But you can't bring dinosaurs back, though.

11:23James Buckley:He could be Hammond.

11:27I'm telling you he'll find a way life finds a way

11:30James Buckley:life finds a way

11:36James Buckley:what's the one you always say? Clever girl no something about the fences oh yeah they were testing the fences for weaknesses yeah that's it say that all the time do you know how often they used to say that when the kids were little and we had baby stair gates and they would always be like rattling them or Juan would be in right he would always be like they're testing the fences for weaknesses when you look at them they look straight back at you clever girl brilliant we're going to have to watch that tonight aren't we yeah we are we're watching Jurassic Park tonight oh man wear something sexy because we're watching Jurassic Park tonight oh I've got leopard print on yeah well you like leopard print I prefer lizard okay alright I'll work on it I prefer lizard skin I'll work on it of course they actually had feathers didn't they did you know that the dinosaurs actually they didn't have lizard skin they actually had feathers what are them?

12:33pretty much yeah pretty much

12:36James Buckley:okay I mean I can't argue I wasn't there I weren't there either I didn't see it I don't know I didn't see it I'll stick to my length and velociraptors were actually only about two foot high yeah they always say that didn't they yeah but they still they fucking they doubled down with that Jurassic Park after it became common knowledge that velociraptors the scary thing the scariest thing yeah the ones that are going to be in the kitchen opening the doors were only like come up to your knee or something Jurassic Park Spielberg just like kept bringing films out yeah even though we all knew that that wasn't the case yeah and he was just like I don't give a fuck yeah it's a film Spielberg just went you can take your fucking two foot dinosaurs right and shove them up your arse well it wouldn't have been we're trying to make a movie here we're trying to we're trying to scare the shit out of eight year old kids exactly exactly and you want a little fucking feathered thing knocking about I don't like the idea of feathers I hope that's not true the odd feathers what a big feather T-Rex yeah just like a big bird yeah that's why they have a yellow as well that would be scarier I'll tell you something there is something scary about big birds do you think yeah I never watched Sesame Street it was a very American thing wasn't it like walk around and his eyes were so big and he'd like blink really slowly and shit alright fucking terrifying okay anything grinding your gear this week anything annoying me yeah um apart for you apart from moi apart for you which is french for me you are being really annoying um one tiny little thing popped into my head there but it's literally no conversation run about it i don't think but i'll just mention it because i thought yeah this is this is where we do that i um i watch i love watching like cooking videos and people eating and stuff like that right and there's this woman that i watch and she's really good and she always makes these like weird dinners and stuff and um she loves spicy stuff and she's always putting spicy stuff on it And she always uses jalapenos, but she calls them jalapenos every single time.

14:55James Buckley:And it really annoys me. I'm the other way. And I just realised how much it annoys me when people say jalapeno instead of jalapeno. Yeah, see, I'm the other way. I do the other annoying thing. You overlay. So I'll say like jalapeno. Yeah, no, you don't. But yeah. No, I will say jalapeno. You do it with Volkswagen. yeah that annoys you doesn't it that is so you sound so stupid we were in the pub it's Volkswagen we were in the pub with friends it's Volkswagen and we were talking about cars and he's literally having like not trying to be funny and he's like yeah but that's a Volkswagen and I'm like stop doing that I know it annoys me as well you look stupid it annoys me as well that people say BMW it's not BMW what is it?

15:43it's BMW everyone knows that's how you pronounce BMW

15:48James Buckley:and you used to do it with Paisley she wasn't a Rottweiler she was a Rottweiler she's a Rottweiler she's a Rottweiler I was like James you sound like a moron even though you're trying to sound really clever I'm just pronouncing things correctly Volkswagen shoot me literally said that in the pub when we're talking to people I know anyway Jalapeno that annoys me Jalapeno it's Jalapeno did you say Barthalona Barthalona Barthalona do you say that? I say Barcelona. I don't say Barcelona. Barcelona. Before we move on though, Claire, I don't have a moan, but I do have a new hill to die on. Go on. I'm in the minority, or I assume I am, if you go by what everyone's doing these days.

16:30James Buckley:Okay. Smash burgers. I'm not having them. Yeah. I'm not fucking having smash burgers. They're like paper thin. I'm not having it. Yeah, I get that. Why would you want that? Yeah. Why don't you want a nice, juicy, thick burger? Absolutely. Cheeseburger, some pickle. Absolutely. And then just like smash it in. Get it really fucking crusty so you can scrape it off. Yeah, I want something scraped off a grill. Yeah, that's a good point. I've never thought of that. But apparently they're fucking all the rage. And I love barbecues. I love meat. I love burgers. Yeah. I'm not having the smash burger. I'm not getting involved.

17:05Leave me out of it.

17:06James Buckley:That's a good point. Yeah, it's like that thin. Yeah. why would you you would need to yeah you know it's the contact it's the contact with the grill and you get a crust and I don't mind pushing it done a wee bit you know getting it into the getting the lines on it and stuff but the burgers are supposed to be juicy yeah I'm with you I'm with you I agree I think our listeners will agree with that actually I'm interested to know whether it's a social media thing because you know how things happen on social media that can sort of skew what the actual what everyone is actually saying but as far as I'm concerned social media is pretty much my only contact with the outside world and everyone out there is just fucking wanking over smash burgers and they have been for the last four or five years or so with jalapenos on top with jalapeno jalapeno face I'm with you with that one actually What's your dream burger if you were to build it right now?

18:09Very simple. You know mine. It's very simple.

18:12James Buckley:Cheese. Cheeseburger, burger sauce, pickles. That's it? That's what you would have all day long? Yeah. Fair enough. I think the more simple you can keep a burger, the better. Yeah, I think so. No onions on it for you? You like those crispy onions? I could have some... Or an onion ring? I like grilled onions. Grilled? I like when they're sort of grilled and a bit sweaty. Right. god you're making me hungry now I don't mind that one bit baby Claire yeah don't you have a you were talking to me about it the other day what a little movie trope we haven't spoke about movie tropes for a while I said this to you I was watching something and it was and you see this a lot as well it was it was like a detective and they went into this murder scene and he threw up the murder scene was so gruesome it was so gruesome like he went outside and he threw up everywhere and then he just kind of like wiped his mouth and then he just started having a conversation with the person again and I was like, ugh Don't brush your teeth That's what the media can do, Claire It's very powerful and dangerous is the media You've got to take it all with a pinch of salt young Claire They even try and make vomiting glamorous Do you know what I mean?

19:31James Buckley:They've always got a hanky yeah try and make it glamorous sorry well there's nothing wrong with always having a hanky there's nothing wrong with that that's not unusual it's your hanky I've not seen it for ages it's in my pocket have you yeah of course don't leave the house without it you've not been using it I have you said bless you in the cab upon the way here oh yeah you did I was using it there how I look when I'm vomiting oh I'm usually in my pants you're the loudest vomiter ever I'm usually in my pants and I'm usually because you were sick the other week after you had that cigar yeah you are so I can't help I don't know what it is he like shouts at her he's like I don't know why that is I don't know why like you shout all the way through it I don't know why that is but also I'm usually sat by the toilet like this with my legs like over the other like that's how it would really look if the media wanted to be realistic for once but no no No, they want us all to look pretty while we're vomiting.

20:33All these pressures they put on us.

20:35James Buckley:See, I'm a silent vomiter. I don't make any noise. Maybe there'll be a bit of like a... But also, you don't like being sick. I hate being sick. As soon as I feel like my body, my stomach wants to eject whatever's in it out, because I trust my gut. That's a good saying. Yeah. And if it's like, oh, you got something a couple of hours ago and this ain't working out, Buckley. We need to get this thing out now. I go, I'm with you. Let's do it. Right. So I never fight being sick. I never like try and stop it or hold it off. Oh, I do. Because if you do that, you just feel queasy and gross. As soon as you're sick, as soon as you've got everything out.

21:22James Buckley:You say that to me all the time. As soon as you get everything out, you just feel normal again. I fight it until I'm like a runner. I'm like, fuck, I've got to go. Because I've done stuff, you know, I've been in situations before where I've thrown up and I still don't feel right and I go, there's more to come. This is a two-part of this one. Right. That was First Blood. First Blood Part 2 is coming in a second. Right, okay. Is that Rambo? Yeah. Right. How have we got on to puking? Oh, yeah, my movie. You brought me up, Claire. Yeah, I did. Yeah, I did. Sorry. But, yeah, that is what the media, the media, social media, we've got to get off the internet, haven't we?

22:02Yeah, probably. We've got to get off it. It's not helping us out. I had one of those classic, that's enough internet for today. Did you? The other day. It was a post. I was going through my Instagram, and it was a post that said, and I've written it down here, woman who married the Eiffel Tower has divorced because she's fallen in love with a fence. And I was like, right, I'm done. gone too far I've reached the end of the internet it's like finding the end of the universe
