In short

Theo Baker returns to the podcast and reacts to AB being brought in as a “third host,” plus a wide-ranging chat covering Theo’s YouTube/football content plans, brain fog and memory issues, and a detailed personal update about moving house and hiring services (removal company, locksmith, surveyor/solicitor advice). They also discuss South Africa: why Theo was accused of “lying” about train cable theft, what he did there (Cape Town, vineyards, Lion’s Head, rugby, festivals, safari), and safety/robbery anecdotes.

Guests (and backgrounds)

Theo Baker is the main guest—an English football-focused YouTuber/creator known for earlier viral football challenges (e.g., blindfolded penalties) and for Pitchside/Backside-style sports content. AB is referenced as another creator/host who recently appeared on a podcast episode. Other people are mentioned as friends/industry contacts (e.g., Pitchside/Backside colleagues, Ibrahim the handyman, Jodie’s friends/boyfriends including Ryan).

Key claims

YouTube in 2016 had “zero expectation” and easier viral reach; Theo plans to “niche down” back to football/sport. Brain fog is discussed as possibly linked to low testosterone or other causes. Theo insists his South Africa train story is real and cites articles/video clips. South Africa (Cape Town) is described as safe if you’re not “an idiot,” and the safari was “one of the best trips.”

Notable examples

Theo’s Wembley “Wembley moment of the year” win over Beyonce (via Twitter poll), his 2016 “YouTubers blindfolded penalties” reaching ~17M views, moving/renovation costs and delays, using removals/TaskRabbit, and South Africa safari “Big Five” sightings plus a game-drive breakdown caused by running out of petrol.

Yeah. Actually, the views do all right. I'm really happy with how the channel went this year or last year I just wanted more vids yeah it's always the case though isn't it it is always the case look at these old school videos it's the 2016 trend so these were your videos in 2016 they're how good them thumbnails are by the way ultimate free kick challenge like 5 million views can't go wrong with that what sort of videos was I doing in 2016 Stan and you playing on downs what

3:45Cal:the fucking football field oh the downs is it called the downs it's called the downs not downs yeah serious spot that mate serious spot he nabbed my series everyone sharking nabbed my series I'm quite enjoying this 2016 trend because I'm getting a lot of throwbacks and I'm feeling like happy nostalgia I will say that was a top year like a top year 2016 was an unbelievable year that was actually I actually I dropped out of uni in 2016 yeah did you? yeah I won Wembley moment of the year in 2016 beat Beyonce Poggers mate really? oh for the Wembley moment of the year. I remember that. I beat Beyonce in the final.

4:24I didn't know that you beat Beyonce to win the medal.

4:26Cal:It was a Twitter poll, wasn't it? It was me. On Twitter. Yeah. They kept taking Wembley moments from the year. And it was like the championship playoff final winning goal. And in the final, it was Theo Baker versus Beyonce's performance and Theo Beter. You don't know about that? I did not know that was a warm-up. Someone scored like a last minute winner in like the championship playoff final. And I beat him. And I was like, this is fucking bullshit. He's playing in a YouTube match. Did score one of the greatest goals that year at Wembley though. Yeah. And still to this day, probably the one of the best YouTuber goals ever of all time.

4:59If not the best. Who was it you did in Carragher?

5:01Cal:Was it Carragher? Did them all, mate.

5:04Chip:The old cast of the overlap. Done the lot of them.

5:09Cal:Oh, you insufferable bastard. What was I uploaded in 2016? FIFA? Were you doing like... Oh, the chicken nugget challenge. The chicken nugget challenge? Yeah. The chubby bunny challenge. Really? Q &A with your mum.

5:22Chip:Oh, Q &A with my mum? Oh, whoa. Sweet one alert. Adele, hello. Frank Coles, Jesus Christ. That was crazy. Is that me and Wella? That was probably me and Wella. Two mil.

5:32Cal:Two mil on me and Bez. YouTube used to be so brilliant, man. Oh, the crazy YouTuber race.

5:39Chip:That, by the way, no. That was actually a crazy video. The fact that I got that fully animated pretty well, too.

5:46Cal:You know, I saw a tweet the other day and it just reminded me of like old school YouTube a little bit where apparently Ryan Train is uploading Minecraft without editing it and it's just fucking straight raw dog I haven't been on to watch it yet myself but Oh Ryan Train God forbid we respect to one of the greats So he's like made a Minecraft channel or gaming channel whatever it is but he's uploading it and he's not editing the videos or something like that it's just raw straight raw gameplay right this you but you gotta be like the most likable man on the planet he is one of the most likable man who great runner as well yeah he's a track star was he did a good job with his he's an absolute track star do you prefer youtube then or now uh i'm enjoying it now i think now

6:30Chip:it's pretty fun it was very different back then but looking back like it's just like the whole world of youtube in 2016 was so different it's like i feel like it's like the wild west back then it was the wild west but there was just zero expectation yeah i mean like the idea of a good video yeah was literally as long as you had your mates in the video that was it as long as you were catching a vibe in the vid nobody was outside you didn't no one cared about how many camera angles but then again i do also think that's why harry became who he was now because he was the only one back then who cared about having a plant in his background so it looked nice or to have an extra a camera angle.

7:07Chip:I was just doing that. I'm not joking. Pulled up one camera angle for the like football challenges. You just stick it there. A wide sorted. You'd have to shout so the microphone would pick you up. Yeah. You wouldn't have mics. You would just have a top mic. Yeah. Just smacking balls at people's houses. Your most viewed videos. Was this

7:27Cal:in 2016? What's your most viewed video, Kyle? 17 mil. Sick. Wow. So yeah, 10 years ago,

7:32Chip:I uploaded my most viewed video, which was YouTubers blindfolded penalties. That's a one minute challenge in a Christmas Eve video now. Damn, you are brutal. Not even. I just floored him and then kicked the ball. But this was iconic time. So this was like, this had actually never been done before. Yeah. But you know, what's even more crazy is the fact that see how this video managed to get to 17 mil. And if you go back to a lot of people around that time, yeah, feel free to take over shoes. At any time back then, you could upload this because it was zero competition and there was such a lack of content on YouTube that the chance of people being shown your video was just so high.

8:11Chip:Yeah. And now, I mean, that's obviously just not, this is an iconic club. Everyone got their own video. Was that in Welles? Whose flat is that? No, so this was in an Airbnb that we rented when we stayed in LA. Oh, really? Yeah. This was the classic one.

8:26Cal:I was there when you were there. Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean? Do you not think? What just happened there? Do you not think, right, back then, we actually had no idea what we were doing? No, we did. I don't know if I did. What do you mean by... Like, for example, if I uploaded a football video, right, in like 2015, 2016, it would genuinely bang. There were like millions of views. Yeah. But I didn't realise it at the time. That was like, it didn't... And then I'd just next day upload like a shitty vlog and it'd do bad. But I just didn't think about videos that did good or bad.

8:55I just uploaded whatever. YouTube was different back then. I didn't think, I just uploaded what I wanted to upload. Which is a good thing. imagine we actually understood it back in the day well that that's what i'm saying like harry's one

9:06Chip:of the first people to really understand it yeah but although we didn't realize that he was understanding at the time we were there like oh it's just harry like his it's his personality and everything which obviously played a part but he was seriously the only person to actually have any level of production in his videos we just didn't really realize at the time back then production was having more than one camera angle yeah literally it was crazy a gopro a gopro oh no The idea of using a GoPro is wild. I went through so many G7Xs. No, G7X was not 2016. That was way after. It wasn't?

9:34Cal:I was using G7X in all these. No, I think... 100 % Mark 1. I only did G7X of vlogs. It was Canon 50D or something. 80D. 60D. 70D as well. One of them anyway. I used to go through G7Xs like every two months. Look at all your... Look at your videos here, man. They all have millions of views. Out of focus intro. Cold. Wait, look at that hair flick as well. Hair flick. Yeah, it's my going on. There it is. Oh, Stanard. Wow. Yeah, we're not doing a reaction. Oh, bro pulled in his mate. Look at those graphics, man. Just taking a penalty from the edge of the box, calling it a free kick. Yeah, but that's, that's what I'm saying.

10:13Like, good times, eh?

10:15Cal:They were good times, fellas. It was nice to remember. What were you doing in 2016? Fortnite? No, Fortnite wasn't out then, was it? Fortnite came out in what? 2017, 2018? Yeah, it was 2017. So what were you doing? When was my first video on this thing? You're probably going to get like an older non-Fortnite video. This channel is like the most crazy channel. Because it became Fortnite. Where is it? Seven years ago. That's when I was site Fortnite. Wow. That's kind of crazy. That's probably with Theo, that video and stuff.

10:40Chip:So where are your like Penalty King vids? They're on the main channel. On the main channel, right. Yeah. Back then it was such a different, the whole thing was just mental. Now it's like you really got to fight for your reason. Yeah. You know, like you actually have to fucking grind your ass off of those views. Back then. You're niched down now.

10:59Cal:These aren't the first videos, so there was probably like the loads of private. You have to niche down now. Find your thing. What's going to be your thing then going into this year? Well, I've actually got a big meeting about it on Friday. When you say big meeting? YouTube helping me out. I've got a little. YouTube helping me out. Yeah. Well, as I told you. Yeah, they're doing really well for me. I'm going to niche down to actually football and sport, but mainly football. I want to go back to football yeah I think that's the play that's the key even with the the older body I scored a hat-trick at Wembley last year and the new the new hip it works wonders I'm saying that consistently I'm smacking there's a Chris MD video coming out very very soon I'm smacking a ball to my right foot

11:38Chip:let me just say Chris MD has gotten away with it for too long he's been unchallenged for too long Theo it's time that you mount the charge mate all I'm telling you is when I was on my game on football I was unstoppable yeah you know people stealing my videos.

11:53Cal:Yeah, why did you just stop when you're so good at it? That's like your bread and butter. Injury, wasn't it? I had, yeah. Yeah, but you're not injured for the last 10 years.

Read the full transcript

12:04Chip:It kind of has been though. Yeah, I was injured for about four years straight. Fuck. Yeah, man, there was some dark times. I mean, now we're on the other side and now I've never been better. Damn, you lost a lot of coin there, bro. No, I didn't because they also allowed me to do other things such as fitness events, getting to fitness and pitch side. an Ironman yeah I don't know if you heard but also Pitchside yeah we're actually grateful that you're yeah that's a good point

12:26Cal:Pitchside actually without Pitchside yeah you might not

12:29Chip:where would you guys be that's a great point

12:31Cal:and I completely agree with you

12:33Chip:sometimes I think about what Pitchside would have been if we just kept it going the way it was when you were interviewing Kitman and things like that oh it's just you trying to take credit no no I'm just saying do you not think that like good well we did that together that was our decision yeah So it was like you and Reeve doing normal interviews. And we realized that you guys have such a lack of intelligence that we needed to lean into the fact that you're both idiots.

13:01Cal:Yeah, it started off too serious. Yeah. And actual ball knowledge, which obviously they don't. And I think that became so apparent

13:09Chip:when Tom Garrett went on the podcast and everyone was there like, finally somebody with ball knowledge. And then we realized, hold on a second, this guy. I can't lie. Today I was talking about ball knowledge. I realized where I've been going wrong recently. Go on. So obviously, you know, you've been struggling with your testosterone and that. Yep. I think I've been struggling with brain fog.

13:27Cal:Oh. By the way, link to low test. What? It's linked to low test. No, not me though. I don't have low test. Too much test, I think. Have you had a blood test? If I don't. You never know, bro. I had like a DNA thing. That's not the thing. Because think of how long you've been going to gym and that body is not.

13:42Chip:I'll be honest with you. That body is not the body of somebody. Not kicking off, bro. That's disgusting, bro. Are you fat shaming me?

13:49Cal:Are you fat shaming me? No, first of all, I didn't say you were fat. You implied it. Didn't even imply it. My issue is the diet, but I've been working on it the last few months. To be fair, we've always said that. A couple weeks, a couple days. I did keto for a while. I'm in the same state. So you think it could be brain fog? Yeah, and then I tried one of those pills, and I think I only took two of them last week. What was it? I don't know if they have a long-lasting effect. We had a brand new for them. And Reeve had been, like, actually using them. So I'm going to try and see if I can get hold of some.

14:15A little aspirin or something. it.

14:17Chip:How is it? What's it? So what was it? I don't know. Something basically like a mega free and there's loads of things that cause brain fog though, bro. Yeah. I'm not sure if just popping a pills to play here. Like there's a good chance that it's actually, there's an underlying thing here. But I struggled like memory in that as well. Remember. And the internal monologue thing is freaking a lot of people out. And that obviously plays a bit of stress on me.

14:37Cal:I think the internal monologue, you don't have one. Yeah. We're in the same boat. Yeah. Do you not have one as well? No. Oh yeah. So don't worry. Hopefully that gives you a bit. I was speaking to someone about this the other day and they were like, so weird, they were like freaking out. And I was like, you do realize it affects like one in five. No,

14:53Chip:I think it's less than that. No, it's like 10 to 20 % of people. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Don't have an inner monologue. Yeah.

14:57Cal:So you can like, so when you're knocking around, like it means you probably can't be schizophrenic if you've not got any. But I was saying it is, if I read a book, I can still read a book. I like, I have to really concentrate. Does that make sense? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I have the same thing.

15:14Chip:that i'll read through an entire page and go i have no idea what i'm just saying yeah it's terrible that happens to me all the time yeah so but i recently watched a video on techniques in how to like consume information because my biggest thing and this really fucks me off and it was it's apparent when i really went into a rabbit hole about how the pyramids were made right and like the conspiracies about it so i was watching so much content i'm talking hours and hours of content right yeah and then when it would come to discussing with somebody else or on a podcast it was on a podcast i realized this issue that i had um i really wanted to talk about all the stuff that i'd learned and i went to say and i couldn't recite any other facts that i remember exactly i couldn't remember any of the theories i could remember like the top line one like oh there was an advanced civilization that got wiped out i can remember that but i had so many other bits like oh they were built to true north and true north is this but i can't remember any of the other stuff so i had this massive issue and so i was like i have to fix this because i it's an issue it's a real issue yeah and i want to be able to recount stories i want to be able to educate people i want to be able to be um to be valuable talk fluidly i feel like i can do that yeah maybe

16:25Cal:i struggle with that what was some of the tips to uh consume information and retain it

16:30Chip:is writing it down the problem is i've forgotten now already so what the issue is That's crazy.

16:37Cal:I watched a video on how to consume information and remember it. What's the info? I don't remember. Do you know what I think might help? Yeah. Do you read books? No, but we've just been over that. Fuck me. Maybe you're worse than I. We weren't doing 75 part because we had to. No, but like reading books makes your brain work hard. So fuck me. You need more than just reading books. All three of us are all in trouble. The thing is, I'm really intelligent, but then sometimes like that. No, it's best to just admit that you're a fucking moron. Bro's trying to bug smash. Yeah, it's not going to happen, bro.

17:10Cal:You just got to admit, accept it, and then we can learn and progress. That's what I'm trying to do, though. He is trying to learn, though. But you have to admit that you're not. But like a lot of people, for example, when they go on runs and that, they overthink everything, they start thinking about whatnot. And like, for me personally, I find it quite easy just to just go and cycle. So it's quite, it's a superpower. I genuinely think it's a superpower.

17:32Chip:I'm not joking, because people always talk about that overthinking thing. I swear to God I haven't overthought anything in years I think I'm missing a lot I swear to God I never overthink shit does it does it not but it's bad though travel pigs a bit of an overthinker right massively but that's why I think it works because could you imagine if we were both overthinkers yeah same as same as Dodie she's a massive overthinker

17:55Cal:is a very terrible thing 95 % of the things that you overthink about don't ever happen or will happen but you are convinced you'll play let's say that you've got a conversation go on with a missy had an argument in the morning and you're playing it out and you're heading like none of that is likely to happen you always pick the worst things and then it ruins your day spike your cots all but then if you feel about this the problem with like if you have an argument or whatnot i'll just walk out i'll be fine because i won't ever think it but then i'll also for you it's fine be quite stubborn because i know i'm right and i can't think about the other side you're probably one of the most stubborn people i know actually no i don't say that no that's not necessarily No, but I think there's, I think like, let's, it's going to sound bad, but not if I've spent the times I am right.

18:40Shit. Nah. Yeah. You're onto something. It's like, there's being stubborn and there's just being right all the time. Let's go. I can't be fed up with it sometimes.

18:52Cal:That was a 50, 50 chance. I feel like Pitchside is the perfect proof that that's just inherently wrong. You think Pitchside has destroyed your brain? Yeah, 100%. I used to be an intelligent human being that could utter sentences. Utter sentences? What are you talking about? Like speak sentences. And then Pitchside came in. I feel like I've just destroyed half my brain.

19:16Chip:No, I feel like the real downfall was backside. That's where it all kind of went.

19:20Cal:You can even see it, by the way, on your face. You kind of look like I had a breakthrough today Today I was able to speak coherently And actually like think about what I was saying I was speaking I actually I knew what I was talking about Sometimes someone asked me Why is Chow Not a good defender or a good defender I'll be like I can't do it You definitely have brain fog That's brain fog Yeah yeah no exactly I'm trying to work on it Well as we get older you know I'm 29 Well I was going to say it becomes clearer Are you only 29? more prevalent I just feel like you

19:56Chip:you're not 29 feel like you should be part of the 30 gang yeah like mad like aura intelligence wisdom maybe maybe some level of maturity in there at times you sure but yeah I don't know why I'm surprised you're 29 we'll be very very soon you just moved house actually yeah that's a sign of age congrats thanks dudes thanks man amazing work Turns out it looked like smoother than I thought it was going to be. Really? Should I just... Well, how's years ago? Yeah. Fine. Yeah. That's really exciting. Explain to us. Give us a bit about the gaff. Finally left the ends. I was actually quite sad to see it go.

20:38Yeah. Stratford. Yeah. So I did five years in Stratford. Make it sound like prison. After five years. I will say I fucking loved it. It was the best, man. It felt like home. That's the longest I've ever lived somewhere. That isn't my thief at home. Yeah. I did love it, as you know, Stanislav. Yeah. We're not neighbours anymore. No, we're not neighbours anymore. It was the best, man. But you know what? Ever since moving, I realised life's better now.

21:08Chip:Well, you've just moved in. Yeah. I feel like you're still in the honeymoon period. No, but the fact that we can just wait until the water stops working. Maybe it goes cold. Oh, we've already had issues. Oh, brilliant. Yeah, we had emergency locksmith come round. Oh, what? You lost your keys? now the locks don't work that's great that's nice so we had to come so you just like bust open you're like oh right brilliant i broke the key key got stuck in it locks just don't right they're really old locks so you had to come up and take the lock out and now we just bolted it until we got to get a new door oh you know how expensive doors are no no quoted six and a half grand and i was on picture and jones telling me about it i said don't you fucking say it don't you dare and do you know what his final offer was i adore two grand wait what so he's come down from six and after two for a door how does that make sense I'm sorry but I'm seeing 300 quid for that door 400 quid for a front door French patio doors oh so this is a patio door but it also needs to replace the whole thing I thought you were talking front door yeah you gotta replace no they're even more expensive no they're not they are I've just seen one for 350 quid they've got like 300 quid you bet these are dog shit yeah these are and also but you also need to pay for the labour to install it I don't have to put a door in they gotta take out the whole wood all the wood swollen.

22:22Oh, wow. So you're already having to do the renovation. Have you allocated an amount of money to renovate the gaff? I think so. Like roughly on top of my head. Yeah. What is that?

22:32Chip:I mean, you can just say it's just money, bro. 50 grand, a hundred and 50, 200. How many thousands of pounds are you renovating your gaff, bro? It's not that deep. I don't know. Okay. So you don't have a number of people usually do put maybe 20. Well, it depends what you want to get. Sometimes you buy a house and it'd be a bit more like a project. They're like, I'm willing to stick about a hundred grand in here. We knew what we wanted to do when we went in. Yeah. And now we're in, that's completely changed. Interesting. Yeah. So we're like, oh, we want a kitchen. But now we're using it. Like the kitchen's fine.

23:05We can live there. That's not a priority. Okay. So it's not until you get in there that you realize what you want to do. But today, Jodie and her dad knocked out the in-fitted wardrobes and excited to go back to the house and see what's cracking there.

23:16Chip:Yeah. So if you were, because there'll be a lot of people listening actually that are either thinking about buying a gaff or going through the process of buying a gaff what would you recommend prior to buying it like are the things that you wish you'd done or that you've known about because it sounds like you've had a pretty smooth experience it's only smooth because i think we're in a fortunate position where we had our flat and like there was an overlay so you'd make sure there was somewhat of an overlap yeah but not everyone's in that position yeah so like we were okay to wait like three weeks and whatnot.

23:48So it was absolutely fine. We were meant to move in in October and we didn't move in until January. So all I'd say is just have patience with it. It's always going to take longer than you think. What stopped you from moving in in October? The sellers and paper. And I think they just wanted their last Christmas at the house.

24:02Cal:Oh, they were living there? Yeah, they were living there. Yeah. And also for us, it actually was fine to move in in January. But I think it can be a bit difficult with people. Make sure you account for external costs other than your deposit and your stamp duty.

24:18Chip:Yeah. Stamp duty is a bastard. Why is that a thing? Yeah.

24:21Cal:Did you find out about that as they told you you had to pay? No, no, I knew about it, but some people... That's a hell of a bill to get through the door. Yeah, but also like little things like your obviously illegal fees, you've got to pay for a surveyor. Yeah. All this stuff you've got to think about.

24:36Chip:So for a surveyor, they go in and they are essentially there to agree that the value you've bought the house for is that reasonable. Is that right? Or they check for anything wrong with the house as well. they get a loaded massive document and basically we looked and we're like, yeah, seems all right. There's a couple of things, but we'll be fine with that and probably should be looking into a few more things. So I would imagine actually getting a good surveyor is probably quite an important thing. It is important, yeah. Because you want that person to really go in there and just, they're doing their due diligence ultimately.

25:03Cal:You don't want to buy something, spend all that money and then you're like, wait, this is fucking, this place is fucked. Kind of like buying a company, I guess.

25:10Chip:You got to go and make sure all the shit is actually what it is.

25:13Cal:The old owners might mask over it and make it look all happy. It's called fraud. Some loud daisies. That sounds good. Well, if you don't get this, that's right. Also, make sure you get a good solicitor. Because I know people who just won't reply to them for weeks. And obviously, if they're not replying, then you're not buying it. You're not progressing with the house.

25:34Chip:How much does a solicitor cost? I think it's, for the whole process, everything, I think it's around two grand. Okay. Yeah, so it's pretty steep, but you can't. You just have to have one. You just have to, you can't not do it. Yeah. I mean, you have to do it. Um, and then, uh, we did. Oh, fucking hell. Sorry, mate. I think it's quite interesting that people want to buy a house and he's just actually giving people tips. You're fucking yawning into the mic. I am. Sorry.

26:00Cal:I'm really tired, but save money for a removal company as well. I haven't eaten. You see, I've had to do a full day. I just, I just had a whole load of snacks I could have got for you. That's okay. I'm fucking, I was on the same boat. You've been up since seven as well, man. When do you go? I don't know

26:13Chip:Yeah but he's been He's been like a performing Little monkey all day On camera Don't have I Nah I didn't Alright it's not Fucking competition Theo Jesus Christ mate He's tired So that's a bit of sugar Give me a bit of energy up I'll give him a protein shake You're not boring me Trust me I'm interested in Yeah Yeah Remover Company Was a lifesaver Yeah That was the best thing We ever did Rather than doing it yourself Yep Well we did a lot ourselves But like I heard they can be expensive bro They are expensive They actually are expensive But It was my mate's Dad's company so I think we got a bit of a discount and they give them a blowjob essentially is what happened I heard that that like knocks off a fair bit of money I wish I just got a high five we had a lorry and a truck a fucking lorry that's how much stuff we had did you bin a lot of stuff I reckon I did 16 full bin bags from our flat nice I was rummaging through and vintage sales as well how much stuff you got 16 bin bags

27:10Chip:yeah Fucking hell man, that's a lot of stuff. Are you looking for a treadmill? Nope. No. Do you want a treadmill? Is it still out there? Yeah. We'll go and bring it in later. The treadmill's in the office. You've got a treadmill. You brought it to the office, did you? No, no, no. Oh. I can't get the treadmill out of my flat. We built it in the flat.

If you want to come, I'll be there on Friday. I'll be there tomorrow. we can try and sort out if you want the treadmill because otherwise I've got no option I've got no option other than just leave it there and then I'll get charged I'll try to sell it to the landlord and he just don't want it he had me listen I'll tell you a guy that will come and fucking take the thing apart take it out and go and do his own thing with it Ibrahim what do you mean

27:59Chip:to people that don't know Ibrahim's like a long long time handyman that we've had slash cleaner slash. Yeah. There was a time where I thought he was nicking our forks, but I don't know. I'm still convinced that somebody was nicking our forks. It might not be him, but there was this correlation between every time him come around, one fork would go missing from the total population of forks. And I never had the heart to bring it up with him because he's such a lovely bloke. And I did think like, if you're ever in a position in life where you need to steal forks from somebody.

You got to live in Berkshire out there, man. Come on. You want to - So, because my biggest fear when I went to South Africa was I didn't like, like, there's a lot of robberies isn't there yep it's quite a dangerous city but so I'll speak to them about that well actually first of all we went pitch side you got us in the we're having beers with all the players after the game in the changing room alright rugby's sick Cape Town's actually one of the safest cities in South Africa okay but we did see so obviously what I think about Cape Town is like it's only dangerous if you're an idiot yeah okay just don't be an idiot fine like we went on a run once if we turned left by the train station we would have walked into you could see it was a bit like a shantytown kind of vibe it looked probably a bit sketchy yeah but we just went right on the main road yeah we're a bit better so as long as you don't take any chances I think so you do have to be careful like especially on nights out as well just don't be an idiot but then on the way to the vineyard when we got the car there oh no the safari I think we obviously the motorway drives through the mountains but we drove through a shantytown I think they're called townships townships what is a shantytown is it similar I'm not sure but they call them townships

40:20Cal:see a few of them when we're on the train you drive and a lot of the kids were getting on top of the houses and just waving to us and I was like oh this is kind of but as we drove through this one it was just the motorway through the middle then one side was a township the other side was a township as well and there were loads of them on the loads of the people from the townships on the side of the road trying to sell they were trying to sell grapes right they'd have these huge baskets of grapes that looked really nice really bright grapes but we saw this one car pulled over to obviously buy some grapes and they just nabbed all their shit from the car and ran and you could see the lady trying to chase after but like where are you going to go they just ran straight back into the town with all their stuff like these Tauros and you're not going to follow them into town obviously not but these Tauros had everything nicked from them but why would you I guess they were a bit naive just don't yeah you just don't stop shame because they had good intentions but you should have been but like these people they have nothing yeah So they're going to chance it.

41:18It's quite sad. But that was when you were driving, what, out of Cape Town? Out of Cape Town to the vineyard, I think, or the safari. I went to the safari. That was epic. What did you see? Everything. Rhinos, hippos, giraffe, ostrich, lion, elephant. This is poggers. It felt like... Is that the big six? What else is missing? Jaguar. Jaguar. Jaguar. You didn't see one of them? The big six or the big five? Big five. All right. But you know what? Yeah. Bigger of the Jackson 6. Couple things happened on that. Oh, what? Like Michael Jackson's, guys? Yeah. Couple things happened doing that. First of all, such a vibe there.

41:56Had a swimming pool and like a bar. It was unbelievable. But anyway, we went into the game reserve. Just saw like half them straight away. Off the rip. Just off the rip. Kind of spoiled. No, we got, obviously we got incredibly lucky because Ryan, who'd done it before, he's like, I didn't see anyone for like an hour before. It felt like Disneyland. Because I'd seen them, it was so easy to see a lot of them. Yeah. Does that make sense? Yeah. We just got really lucky. We saw him straight away. Do you reckon they feed him every once? Don't know. But we did break down in the middle of the game. You want a bit of a build up?

42:24Oh my God, I saw this. Yeah, there was some panic on the bus. Really? Yeah. Jodie put a seatbelt on. Oh, a rhino's about to maul me. No worries. One of the girls was crying. Seatbelt in, really? Why? Because the rhino was looking straight at her. We were surrounded by rhinos and then one of the rhinos was just like, iron us up. What's it going to do? Mate, it's going to fuck you up. No, it's not. What do you think a Reiner can knock this giant lorry?

42:47Chip:Yes. It wasn't even that big, bro. If it wanted to, it kills everybody. We're just catching a vibe. We're just that there.

42:55Cal:Yeah. He's not going to do anything. To be honest, I would just stay in the perimeter on the outside of the car and just shimmy around as a Reiner tries to shimmy around. It's not good, the agility for that. Can't move, mate. You're locked in. You've got good mechanics, so you can do that. That's it. Do you know what? Yeah. We didn't even break down. It turns out we'd run out of petrol. I'm still a geezer. Watch out. Watch out. The guy does not put any petrol in. Who doesn't check the petrol cage before going into a game reserve full of lions? Do you reckon he got fired? Nah, we cracked onto the lions afterwards.

43:21So the lions are kept in a separate reserve, which is even bigger. And then all the animals in that reserve, they hunt. It's like a proper thing. But as we go through the gate, which is fenced off, obviously. Okay, this is how lucky we got. They were just up there. What was in the trees? Just looking at... Mate, it looked like the Lion King. Mate. Now you've got to look at this pic.

43:42Cal:can we show it on the pod as well yeah need a visual representation for all the viewers out there watching imagine you go I'm going to describe this perfectly imagine you go into the reserve you're trying to see these like these lines and then they just appear wow and then they're like they're just up what was the coolest thing oh wow

43:58Chip:so it is actually like Lion King yeah can I see that

44:01Cal:yeah look but you can see how far away they actually are can I have the phone I can't really see from here

Might be Iceland. It's not, but carry on. Thailand. Just got back from Iceland and they're very opposite. Nah. You know what? I'll tell you what. I have, you know, like a... Patagonia. Yeah, but I think you're right. Is it Thailand where there's a beach and there's loads of islands and you can get a boat and go kind of through them?

45:30Chip:That's Vietnam. Is that Vietnam?

45:31Cal:Oh, sorry. No, I think it's in Thailand as well. I think they have it as well. So Samui. I don't know.

I don't care about doing that You watch Avatar 1 and 2 though? I've seen Avatar 1 Do you go to cinema anymore? Not really Yeah Oh I saw The Bridesmaid Not The Bridesmaid The Housemaid Did you watch it with your missus? Yeah So she lied to me She lied to me Because I'd never read the book I'd never heard of it I just heard Sydney Sweden I'm there And she was like Yeah it's a chick flit I was like can you tell me what it's about please I'd like to know what a film's about before I go see it she's like fine like this housemaid falls in love with a gardener and then something happens I was like fuck's sake one of these ones don't swallow that me I'm not gonna swallow that don't worry have you watched it?

46:23no the first half of this film I just kept going I was like this is so bad Sydney Sweeney she can't act don't say that she's coming on the fucking pod mate seriously it was so bad so you're hanging on and I was just like you know in the film it's like the acting is shit everything about this film is shit and then halfway through the film the twist happens right no no no that's it no no no it's okay to say everybody knows there's a big twist everyone knows there's a big twist

46:52Cal:no I don't yeah you do now but you don't know I promise you won't expect it yeah yeah yeah right okay well don't tell me what it is I'm not gonna do no no and I was like oof the second half of the film's unreal wait should I really I think they purposely made the first half dog shit to make the twist even bigger oh nice So I think they're like, yeah, act bad. Does her acting get better? So cringe. Not doesn't really get better, but like the whole film gets better. Is it worth going watching this? It is worth going watching. In the cinema, are you sure?

47:19Chip:Did you watch the scene? Okay. I watched the scene. Well, you gave her a little nudge. Yeah. Yeah, let's look at that. Oh, what is it? Is it a bit vulgar? Vulgar. Yeah. There's a scene and it's all over TikTok. of people going like, oh, I went to the movies and I regret it so much going with my boyfriend because of the Sydney Sweeney hotel scene. I will say it wasn't even, it wasn't like, well, it was just a film. But you bricked. No, but this was during, no, this was during the shit part of the film. So you were double bricked. I was mad hating on it. Oh, really? I was just like, this is shit.

48:02It's so obvious. So you're hate watching a porn scene. Yes. And then the switch, the twist happened. and I was like, yeah, it's quite good. Okay. But it is worth a watch. Did you watch Marty Supreme? I haven't watched it yet. I haven't really had time. Goes to watch the Sidney Sweeney one before Marty. Marty Mouser. That's crazy. It hadn't come out, actually. No, I appreciate that. I'll let you watch that. You're a sports fan as well. Did Timothee Charlemais send you the jacket? Charlemais did not, no. No, but to be fair, I've moved houses quite a lot,

48:31Chip:so he might have got the wrong one. He might come on the pitch side, you know, he's a big football fan. no he's definitely i would say he's more likely come on fellas in his pitch side no way and he knows mad ball i heard he listens to pitch side you'd be surprised if he listens to pitch i want to know the thing is i've got this theory that obviously so many people either like watch or like are very aware and in tune with some of the podcasts but we just never know like famous people that you'd just be there like no fucking way you've listened or watched but there will be some crazy names out there particularly just clips yeah like definitely for clips.

49:04Chip:I don't know about like regular listeners, but definitely with clips. If you're a mad celebrity, just let me know. I promise I won't reply begging you to come on.

49:13Cal:I just want to know if you've ever watched a pod.

49:15Chip:Yeah, mainly pitch side, not fellas though.

49:17Cal:Or anything like that. I'll just catch the vibe with us.

49:19Chip:What are your thoughts on the prediction show? Yeah, that's my favorite thing. I don't know. Have you seen the new one? I sentencing you.

49:31Cal:It's conceding. he's so good isn't he it's so good he's a gem I will never go on it though I saw Reeve went on it the other week I can't go on it I haven't watched it he had the fortdown was he weird in it yeah he was so good apparently oh I need to watch it he kept up with the vibe all the comments are just like don't you fucking ever let Theo come on this show

49:59Chip:you will ruin it I would love to see it though

50:03Cal:to see the response. You're going to have to do it one week. Even if I like tried my absolute hardest to be as weird as possible they'll just hate on it and it'll be more cringe that I'm trying so hard. You can't try. Yeah, that's the thing.

50:14Chip:It's not going to let it come out. If he tried to fit in it would be the toughest watch of all time. Awful, isn't it? You know what? Maybe for the final game week predictions No way. You might have to come in. No way. I'm not there.

50:26Cal:Toms in a trim is so nice. It looks gorgeous. doesn't doesn't

50:33Chip:it's a nice trim the one up there is so good when he was on top there's so many moments you know the villain went missing though he was partying with Joe out in Australia where's his thong now he's crazy the villain went to Australia why? don't know we don't know he's just incredible

50:53Cal:what and he met up with Joe yeah

50:57Chip:when oh yeah let's talk about waffling actually he's been on a break in our discord for uh fellas loaded we do a little live stream before we um start the pod start the pod yeah um you got me a loaded member to watch it though but one thing that they said in there was um waffling r.i.p it's never coming back so many people say to this say this to me like in person like what yeah i'm back is it a rap don't know what do you mean you don't know you're one of the fucking host. The rap for now, for sure. I think, you know what? I think it's like the in-betweeners, you know, every, every, every good thing has to come to an end at some point and then come back and then end again and then come back and then end again.

51:36Chip:You know, it could just be one of those. Maybe you do just like come back like twice a year, you do eight episodes and then you fuck off for another six months, do another eight episodes. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be. Or not. Yeah, I don't know. Would you do that? I'll come back for anything to be honest. I'm always open I'm quite busy at the moment though you are a busy bee I am a busy bee looking forward to the next couple weeks though why? what's happening? something new? I think one of the greatest trips ever to happen soon what? oh yeah by the time this is going out I think this goes out on the week that we're actually on holiday on a ski holiday I don't know how you boys feel about it but I feel like it's Christmas day

52:13Cal:I'm not looking forward to it too much oh no it's class man because only because obviously everybody's I haven't snowboarded in like seven years and everybody can do it now so I'm just gonna have to lag behind I've got a question

52:24Chip:why don't you on the first couple days just book in a lesson in the morning yeah

52:28Cal:just do that no but the thing is I'm at the point where I'm not like don't need the lesson on the beginner slope can I do like a lesson intermediate lesson maybe like an intermediate which can yeah defo

52:38Chip:to be fair it doesn't really matter because they'll watch you go down the slope and then just know what's best for you yeah yeah

52:43Cal:I just need it I think it'll be worth it

52:45Chip:for your fun as well

52:47Cal:I'm getting my own snowboard and shit this time but you gotta remember though Chip like I've not seen bears on a board oh he's better snowboarding I think so and obviously Will Will's skiing oh he's skiing now isn't he yeah because he sacked off the snowboarding smart decision it was for the best for him it was for the best I thought you'd gotten better at it

53:04Chip:at skiing I think but I genuinely can't wait it's obviously no one it's not a birthday ski trip it's just it happens to be a random thing no but it is your 30th that week isn't it is it I'm not even drinking on that March 31st March 31st yeah but you said oh boys I want to do a ski thing for my birthday I think Harry said that for his or Will Will was actually well Harry's was in November mine was in November so it can't be either Harry's 30th this year as well no we already did his birthday thing yeah but that was his 29th birthday this is his 30th and then I see Will turns 30 in March as well you literally have been saying for how for God knows how long how you want to do a boys ski trip and you want it to be for your 30th so we literally put this on for you and now you're being ungrateful in saying now he's being ungrateful saying that he doesn't want it to be considered a birthday trip

53:47Cal:is it a wholesome trip what's the vibe on this or is it get a big barrel I think it might be one for the generation what does that mean? it could be could be a big one could be one of the filthiest trips you've ever got on in life

53:59Chip:put it this way, the podcast after the holiday is going to be a bit of a movie ski trips, what are your favourite things about? everything, vibes drinks on the mountain fresh powder snow like the sunshine beers just like waking up hungover and then just like getting out and cutting some calves oh my god you're horrible to listen and then just like oh the scrambled eggs in the morning really get me pricked as well what do you know what i mean and then and then you go to follies and then you just like just sink in beers and then i don't know chris just gets a bit crazy oh chris not coming like harry will get a bit crazy and he'll order like a champagne bottle to come down on the thing we'll call him cringe and then like when he says and then when he's like he's like obviously like oh fucking don't call me cringe we're like haha don't worry and then like all pour drinks into our own glasses what the fuck do you think this holiday and then like stamping on tables of our ski boots good so you excited for this no i know this sounds good

54:56Cal:this sounds brilliant this is right almost you gotta realize chips ascended things are different what's going on i actually think

55:05Chip:you're gonna much much more enjoy i think you'll enjoy the ski trip a lot more now that you actually have a build that can withstand a fall. You're a strong man. No joke.

55:14Cal:I was thinking about that recently. I was like, oh my God. You're way more athletic now. Like I'm like 25 kg heavier than that. That's insane.

55:19Chip:He's literally doubled his body weight. I don't speak. Doubled his body weight. Oh shit. He actually has. Yo, you're going to, this is going to be such a different holiday for you. You're going to have so much fun. I think you'll really like it. But you drink cider though, don't you?

55:32Cal:I'm not drinking, bro. I've quit the sauce. Haven't touched a speck of alcohol since the second of January. are you doing dry Jan yeah I'm just doing dry everything

55:42Chip:yeah he's just going dry he's raw dog I just thought

55:45Cal:since I started my TRT I was like I may as well just sack off that's so true I respect that decision so much and I'm so much better for it no more hunger over weekends nothing extra work getting done no days wasted 100 % I hear you I'm fucking with that heavy it's amazing yeah it's incredible from you night out stay out till 3am no how about sit at home play Ark Raiders or maybe go on the sim I'll enjoy myself Treat myself to something That's relaxing

56:12Chip:I keep seeing Videos of people Going sober And then Not once Has anybody Turned around and gone Nah it's actually So shit being sober Everyone's there like Nah my life's Infinitely better But is that copium

56:25Cal:Or are they just

56:26Chip:Not hanging around The right people

56:39Chip:It's all about the people you're around though But the problem is My closest friends Are all fucking degenerates

56:45Cal:Yeah that's why it's so hard for me The other day you're like Little one in the pub And I'm just like I fucking love that And I'm fighting demons up there Like You don't need a cider bro And I'm like Nah I fucking don't though do I It's just like I get home Start smacking myself up in the mirror I fight

57:02Chip:You know what the thing is And from there I'm not gonna lie I've looked at her And I just thought Maybe Chip isn't my boy so that's the problem like you lose the people closest to you because you're not willing to participate in alcohol poisoning

57:15Cal:a bit of balance

57:16Chip:in your life maybe

57:16Cal:no well I can't boring I can't balance is it one or the other I'm just going the other way for now is that health just as healthy though yeah for now it is I think it's okay just cut out the casual drinks like full send every now and again I think that's for play but for now I'm just less completely fair a little January reset get my rig into fantastic shape or you do both I got absolutely steaming Saturday night what for oh yeah I woke up so...

1:04:22Cal:If you just say the pic. I've got it on hand right now. It's not even the nude. The problem is. When you type in worm on Paul. he was last year he was getting way too release free with it release there's a pick of Theo it's not about it's actually allegedly it's not even me

1:04:36Chip:what has happened is somebody's messaged Theo saying I've seen the pick but the issue is is that every time on a night out Chip shows random people this pick and so that's definitely how it's got out also the only saving grace for me on that one is that it was cold pretty cold in Ibiza it was No, it was obviously You've been in the water for a while Refraction is crazy

1:04:59Cal:Yeah, that's it Water refraction is crazy actually That is true And AI Fucking AI these days goes off Saw AI before it even existed I'm buzzing for your guys' weddings Yeah, it'll be a career of the cord And your stags And we've got Reeves as well Yeah, it's another stag We're doing as well Which is going to be great A lot of people 20-odd people for that stag Jesus

1:05:20Chip:Yeah That's big for a stag, yeah And actually all of them have said yes Yeah, that was a big problem We were banking on a lot of people saying Yeah, you know what? As an organizer of a 20-man stag dude, I'm finding it quite tough.

1:05:30Cal:Yeah. Mine's got a lot, but not that many, so don't worry. Yeah, it's a 19. No, no, no. It's like 16, I think. Oh, it's basically the same. But it's not... It's basically... 16 to Nashville.

1:05:42Chip:You know, it's scary though. Because his manny boys are actually fucking mentally ill.

1:05:47Cal:They're not coming. We're doing a separate one because...

1:05:49Chip:16 YouTube boys. You don't have 16 friends. Are you serious? Well, think about our group chat.

1:05:53Cal:That's already 10 people. That's enough. That's it. That's all your mates in one. I understand I got a couple of dinner boys. Wait, we're getting a few Fortniteers coming. No, I would just combine the two groups. Like the two YouTube groups. What about Hoogabuga? You got to think about Arthur and everyone. He's not in the good chat. Them, man.

1:06:09Chip:No, we can't have Arthur.

1:06:11Cal:Of course we can have Arthur. Of course we can have Arthur. How many trees is it to Nashville?

1:06:14Chip:We can't have all of them boys. Oh shit, we get a PJ? No. Might be cheaper. To Nashville. 16 people. Mate, a PJ there is like 75 grand there and back. yeah no sorry each way you're doing a podcast there huh we're doing a podcast there right okay thanks that's how we actually should do a podcast here are you alright for us to do that

1:06:35Cal:if it means you can expense it hey just trying to think numbers

1:06:39Chip:yeah

1:06:40Cal:I think it bangs six how are you going to get in anywhere I think that you'll end up kind of splitting off a bit it is really I just want I'm just there for I just want people boys there so I can have a good vibe I'm not fucking ass what we do

1:06:51Chip:I'll keep that in mind

1:06:52Cal:nah we ain't doing no fucked around shit we're just actually catching obviously you're getting like i'm planning your shit you fuck me over you're gonna have a long day i'm gonna go to the creative depths of hell to fuck you over bro i don't think getting like a granny strippers fucking people over no i don't be getting any of that nonsense that's just fucking boring though like that handcuff to a granny stripper no why are we doing that why not it's funny guys all right okay well we know what reeve's got for his stand no i've not even started planning his. I need to get on it. It's just accommodation is an issue.

1:07:24Cal:I actually couldn't think of anything worse. It would just ruin my vibe. It would make everyone else having to chill with someone all night like York. Not only for an hour. Yeah, that's fine. Stags are quite sad, aren't they? In the way that the groom just gets fucked. No, I disagree with that actually. I worked on

1:07:44Chip:Vic's. Did they enjoy them? Yeah, Vic had a good time. We only had a mail stripper. We had a mail stripper. we had a male stripper rock up for Vicks and he went on Vic and Vic just protested. He's there like, cause this guy was getting his junk up in people's faces. So I went, I went fine. So the guy just got his junk, but he was so lame that I was like, I think that's a good balance. Cause you want, you want to like have a bit of banter and obviously you don't want to like ruin their life. You don't want to take it too far. Yeah. Don't be the guy that takes it too far. Don't take it too far. Fucking kidnapping.

1:08:14Chip:Yeah. We know somebody that's done that. Kidnapped his mate. He thought he was getting arrested and put in jail. What is this? Kidnapped for a stag? Yeah.

1:08:25Cal:Yeah, that's actually horrible. Because then you decide. Do you know the worst one? I've been shitting myself. I've been tired of PTSD. The worst thing you can do for a stag dude is tell everyone, oh, the flight's 6 a.m. Everyone gets there. A stag gets there 6 a.m. And then you tell the stag dude that his flight's at 6 p.m. It's horrible. And he's just got to sit in the airport for 12 hours. thing is the reason why I don't do shit like that is because you rock up it's not funny and you want everybody to be on a sick vibe right the stag is already the guy's just probably like stressed fucking moody and shit yeah but yeah that's people do that right it's the stag weekend ruiner a couple of laughs and then it's like oh wait I got to spend 12 hours in an airport not funny not funny as well that's a good sport he probably does understand this is part of the stag game I would be fuming yeah be fuming do you know how long 12 hours is oh it's an ordeal Oh, that is an order.

1:09:20Cal:Also, first of all, first of all, I'd be fucking checking the flights myself.

1:09:26Chip:Yeah, I'd be like, I'll head out there earlier then, lads. See you out there, you fucking... That's a good point, yeah. Bad lads. Then I'd start chinning people.

1:09:33Cal:Yeah, you know what? That would really fuck them over, wouldn't it? Oh, I bet he's well good. He's in the airport. Yeah, I'm already 30 ,000 feet in the air, mate.

1:09:41Chip:I've actually got myself a first-class ticket. That's the problem. I'm minted. You lot forgot that small detail. I'll see you out there, boys. I'll be at the pub. I'm just thinking about that flight to Nashville. That's going to go off. That is going to go off. That's like at least eight hours, isn't it? There's just not 16 business class seats. That's the problem. Someone's going to be shoved in the boot. Nah, we can make it work if we book it early enough. I'll be jobby that. That'll be alright.

1:10:01Cal:Optimizing economy, having a good time. Just trying to be a bit out of touch there, lads. Give me a chance. I don't do economy anymore. Why? Yeah, sometimes it's good to do it. I'm joking. I do it all the time. Yeah, that's fine though.

1:10:14Chip:How did you get your way out to South Africa? Business class. Right, okay. But it was a once-in-a-lifetime trip. So fucking out of touch. Yeah, actually fucking insane. But do you not think though, imagine all the lads sat just like that. Back of the plane.

1:22:49Cal:Wait, so were you on the floor then? No, it was all fours And he's squatting on your face All fours All fours Still got a picture of the pals. Because I had to take a picture for him to look at. I've still got it. And I had to walk into a pharmacy. I had to walk into a pharmacy during lockdown. Was what he did necessary? Yeah, it was 100 % necessary. Because we didn't know for sure. And then once I checked him for pals and I prodded around, I was like, that's definitely fine. Prodded around? Nah, hold. You've got to feel it, otherwise you won't know. Yeah, and obviously I can't feel it myself, so I had to get him to do it.

1:23:18Cal:And plus I was like, fuck it. Like, get to fuck around. I'm going up for the rest of his life. I've fingered your ass.

1:23:26Chip:I've touched your piles, mate. That's weird to me. It's during the time when only one person could go in the pharmacy at a time, though. So obviously when I went into the pharmacy, it's just this lady and she's me. And I was like, I've got piles. I was like, you got any cream for piles? She's like, is it for you or someone else? I was like, yeah, my mate checked. It's for me. I thought you were going to say, yeah, it's for my mate. Don't worry. But no, they're like, actually, my mate split open my asshole. and investigated. You've got to then ask, how do I do this? It's a bit of cream.

1:24:00What was that noise?

1:24:08Chip:Let's do it. Here we go. I think you should go for the mallet. I'll just take what I'm given, really.

1:24:15Cal:Yeah, a pit you can get, because you're only going to get a fine-eyed amount, right? Oh, look at this pit. What, a fine-eyed amount, what? You're only going to get a certain amount of hair back. You're not going to get infinite growth. Might not work, man. Doesn't work like that, does it? Or does it? Yeah. You're going to get infinite growth, bro. What do you mean by that? Mate. Like, imagine... I don't know like that. Getting a semi or can only go so far. No, I can get a full rock on after this.

1:24:37Chip:No way. Yeah. I'm actually... That's the theory.

1:24:39Cal:I'm so buzzing for you because I think you're going to get a lot better looking, which in return will genuinely build us a new fan base. We might get the Apple TV. You know what?

1:24:47Chip:I'm not even joking. I feel like it's for me to be at this point in my career is actually so impressive when you look like me. I was thinking about this the other day. It will change your life, Mark. I don't know how we made it.

1:24:56Cal:I don't know. Look how much hair you can get. Yeah. We both just look like rats, don't we? Go on in. Right. Number one. All right. Oh my God. Looks such a mature gentleman. It's too ginger. I need to sort out the facial hair. I think you should go in for the beard transplant as well.

1:25:12Chip:Yeah. By the way, I'm not ginger. I know my facial hair is ginger, but my actual hair is not ginger. You need it to be like more, it's like fluffy at the moment. You need to be hard. No, it's just I haven't shaved it. I don't hate it.

1:25:23Cal:You look like a soundie on like a TV shoot.

1:25:25Chip:I'm not, I'll put it this way. If I'm blind rank, it is going in four. I'm not fucking with this. I don't hate this at all though.

1:25:31Cal:You look like a Star Wars character bro. You look like the lookalike that we had on. Oh my God. He had the longer hair like this. That's funny. I'll put that in four. You're not a page for four to my TV. Four it is, four it is. What's next? Yo. That is. I don't know what. That's the AB trim. I do not want the AB trim. That's the Luke Martin trim. That looks like Luke. Nah, I don't want that. I think it would look a lot better if the... Yeah. I don't want that trip. No, that's not my trip. I think you're trying to... We should have 28 again.

1:26:00Chip:Nah, I don't. And also, like, I'll have a... Touch wood, I'll have a decent hairline here. That's covering all the shit I paid money for. You know what? Maybe she'll have one all over. I don't mind the buzz cut. I think that's a five, bro. You think that's a five? You think that's worse than the last one? Yeah, yeah. No way. That's way better than the cut. That's better. Okay, let's put that three. Let's put that three.

1:26:20Cal:So three is three. Number three is three. Okay. All right. Next one. Let's picture. Oh, me. Is that me? Is that my hair?

1:26:28Chip:But actually, like, I know that the Photoshop job, but if that was my hair color, I think that could run. I'm not even joking. That's the Theo, isn't it? That might be the photo. Is that the picture? That literally is, yeah, you. Yeah, but no, but. Oh, I know the picture. I actually don't mind this one. If I was to get this in my color, I'm thinking that's a two.
