Speaker 1: beautiful man in his seventies fill out a dog application form.
Speaker 1: We did it over the phone, because you know, when
Speaker 1: you're adopting a dog, there's a lot of stuff they
Speaker 1: ask you for, right, and Kitty Flanagan put me on
Speaker 1: to him said, look, Evie, I've heard that you do
Speaker 1: amazing dog matches. Would you do one for my friend Brooksy?
Speaker 1: And I was like, would I? So well? Not? Would I? Like?

Speaker 1: you find a good dog? And I did? Senten and
Speaker 1: is very excited. So I said, would he like me
Speaker 1: to help him do the application? She says, you know what,
Speaker 1: he would love that. So she let him know and
Speaker 1: he said, oh, that would just be just beautiful and
Speaker 1: she passed on his number. So I called him the
Speaker 1: next day. Broxy he's an iceberger. He swims every morning
Speaker 1: in the icebergs the freezing Bay at Brighton. Bart's Scottish

Speaker 1: And you know, you have to ask, like, why do
Speaker 1: you want a dog? What are your reasons? He said? Company.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, Brooksy, I hear you, mate, I
Speaker 1: hear dogs save us? He said they do. And I
Speaker 1: said to him how because he's a filmmaker and he's
Speaker 1: making a documentary at the moment about the icebergs, And
Speaker 1: he said, did you know when I started He said,
Speaker 1: it ninety nine percent men, he said, and recently, because
Speaker 1: of the lockdowns and COVID, women have really stepped up
Speaker 1: and started joining. He said, it's fifty to fifty now.
Speaker 1: Oh oh that's great. And he said, yeah, but our
Speaker 1: change rooms are still the same size, and so the
Speaker 1: women's you know, they're smaller than the men's because they
Speaker 1: had the bigger one and I said, Brooksy, it's it's everywhere, mate,
Speaker 1: we need bigger bathrooms for women, toilets and Smott He goes, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm going to put that in a documentary. Oh you Ray,
Speaker 1: even you Ray, I've never even thought of that. And
Speaker 1: I said, well, that's because you're a straight white mate.
Speaker 1: I didn't say that damn at all. That I could have.
Speaker 1: I didn't, but you know me, I'm watching Joel Egerton's
Speaker 1: new show at the moment called Dark Matter. It's on
Speaker 1: Apple and it's a mind so I'm up to episode
Speaker 1: three and it's it's right at my alley. Like as
Speaker 1: far as sci fi goes, it's kind of where, you know,
Speaker 1: living in a really normal world with a bit of
Speaker 1: science fiction or post apocalyptic like that's the shit I love.
Speaker 1: I can't have, like, you know, people with pixies or anything.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't do that kind of star treks.
Speaker 1: I can't be a trecky. You know that. That's not
Speaker 1: like that rale they But I do like this, like
Speaker 1: it's really got you guessing. And I'm already texting my
Speaker 1: best friend Annie Potatoes. Okay, so evil him is did
Speaker 1: he abductor good hymn? And she was just like, oh
Speaker 1: my god. And then I said, don't answer that, don't
Speaker 1: even worry, and she just writes back funny laugh like
Speaker 1: Moji's like laughing at me because I just answer my
Speaker 1: I just I'm just bouncing off her. So don't answer me,
Speaker 1: I says to r I said, she doesn't. How rude.
Speaker 1: So watching that also, Yes, I was talking about Billie
Speaker 1: Eilish when I started EIGHTYHD I should have a theme song.
Speaker 1: Listen to her new album this morning. Oh, the single
Speaker 1: off it is called Lunch. It's a good one. But
Speaker 1: there is a song on the Birds of a Feather
Speaker 1: that one I had to play again. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is a great hook, this is a great melody.
Speaker 1: This is a really good song. And the lyrics slap.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a good thing or let's
Speaker 1: say it's good. Would you like a useless fact? Everyone? Okay,
Speaker 1: have you ever had a cost an arm and a leg?
Speaker 1: Someone actually wrote my comments my last post that I
Speaker 1: did with my useful trivia and they said cost of
Speaker 1: an arm and a leg is a good one. So
Speaker 1: you know, ook my not to give the but what
Speaker 1: they want this idiom? Excuse me don't call me that.
Speaker 1: Oh god, she can be such a dad joke sometimes,
Speaker 1: can't she. She talks in the third person every now
Speaker 1: and then. It just goes in and out. Don't worry
Speaker 1: about her, and I'm back. This idiom originates from the
Speaker 1: Irish Oh God, we love Ireland. Dorway rach dorwy coore blimey,
Speaker 1: that's English? But whatever? Oh pirate? Fuck? Who in pirate?
Speaker 1: I love the pirate one that's North Devon, Devon, Cornwall.
Speaker 1: They sound like pirates, you know, Gareth from the Office,
Speaker 1: the original Jade Adams. She sounds like a poirrot anyway.
Speaker 1: This idiom originates from the Irish halfpenny coins. In the
Speaker 1: seventeenth century, King Charles the Second patented Sir Thomas Armstrong
Speaker 1: and Colonel George leg l e Gge to manufacture copper
Speaker 1: halfpennies for use in Ireland. These coins were later used
Speaker 1: by Irish emigrants to the American colonies. The phrase it
Speaker 1: will cost you an arm and a leg note the
Speaker 1: capital letters arm and leg was an abbreviation of the
Speaker 1: patent tes I don't know what names. Therefore, this term
Speaker 1: originally meant it will cost you a halfpenny. Over time.
Speaker 1: This evolved to an arm and a leg, which people
Speaker 1: would have assumed meant a person's limbs. I was hoping,
Speaker 1: kind of hoping, but not really because you know, they
Speaker 1: were pretty horrific back in the day. Not that anything's changed.
Speaker 1: Not funny. Um, yeah, people assumed it means limbs, which
Speaker 1: is how the very expensive aspect developed. Competing theory. Oh, Rachie,
Speaker 1: you've popped in a competing theory. Which one's going to
Speaker 1: be great? The termin arm and a leg originates from
Speaker 1: how portrait paintings were priced. Paintings featuring just a head
Speaker 1: and shoulders were the cheapest. Larger full body paintings, that is,
Speaker 1: those with arms and legs were far more expensive. Detractors
Speaker 1: of this theory note that the term is far more
Speaker 1: recent than when portrait paintings were fashionable. What do you think, Rachie,
Speaker 1: would you go A or B? You think a second one?
Speaker 1: You think the paintings? Hmm, okay, arm and a leg? No, No,
Speaker 1: I'm going to go the arm and the leg. Halfpenny
Speaker 1: just because I like to be a contrarian. That's what
Speaker 1: makes the world go around. Assholes, Well, everybody has one,
Speaker 1: like an opinion. Oh whatever, go and watch dark matter.
Speaker 1: Let me know what you think, because, like I said,
Speaker 1: it's a mind twist, and you know what we like twisting.
Speaker 1: The world's been fire, fine, joy, but please don't look away.
Speaker 1: I love you all. Be good to each other. Please
Speaker 1: be good to each other by you
