1
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: Well, I invited you here, thought I made myself perfectly clear.

2
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: But you're I guess to my home.

3
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: You gotta come to me empty, and I said, no, guest, your.

4
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 3: Presences, presents, and I already had too much stuff. So

5
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 3: how did you dare.

6
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: To surbey me?

7
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 4: Welcome to? I said, no gifts. I'm Bridger Wineger.

8
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 5: Ah.

9
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 4: It's ten am, I'm dressed, I'm showered, I've brushed my teeth.

10
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 4: I don't know why. Well, I'll tell you why. Something's afoot.

11
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 4: We've got a guest today that's several hours ahead, and

12
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 4: I'm just thrilled, beyond all thrills. Today we've got none

13
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 4: other than Emma Thompson. Emma, welcome to. I said no gifts, Oh,

14
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 4: thank you.

15
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 2: I also have brushed my teeth, which has it turned out,

16
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: was unwise because I'm drinking a martini.

17
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 4: Oh, that's got to be an interesting combination of flavors.

18
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: It's not good. It's not good. I can't recommend it.

19
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 4: What time is it there?

20
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 2: It is six o'clock. You're we are yep?

21
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, several hours in the future.

22
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: Yes, Emma.

23
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 4: Have they found a vaccine in your timeline?

24
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 5: Oh?

25
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: Obviously yes?

26
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 4: Oh, thank god, okay, beautiful, but only for sheep, only

27
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 4: for shame. Okay perfect Unfortunately, Well, the sheep will go,

28
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 4: will survive for all of us, will build a new

29
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 4: society and earth, yes will be theirs. Now, yes, I

30
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: have to say. Up until we both got on the

31
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 4: Zoom call with your daughter Guy about five minutes ago,

32
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: up until then, I was absolutely ninety nine percent sure

33
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 4: that you were not going to appear, that I was

34
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 4: going to learn that I had been scammed, that this

35
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 4: was some sort of sophisticated scam that somehow had gotten.

36
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 4: It would have been beyond all scams, because the way

37
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 4: we got in touch was through email, and I of

38
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 4: course was bowled over that you had been listening to

39
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 4: the show, and I was excited, and you even provided

40
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 4: a phone number for me to call, which I didn't

41
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 4: because I didn't want to bother you. But as I

42
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: was falling asleep last night, knowing we were going to

43
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 4: do this today, I thought maybe I should have bothered her,

44
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 4: because if we get on, it's some team that's scamming me.

45
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 4: The rest of my twenty twenty is over for me.

46
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 4: But here you are, here, here, Here I.

47
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: Am with the mat I've washed my hair as well.

48
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 4: We've both washed our hair. We looked, Yes, we look amazing.

49
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 4: How long have you been in Scotland You've been kind.

50
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: Of we've where we've So. I'm half Scottish and my

51
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: childhood was largely spent in Scotland, And because my mum's

52
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 2: Scottish and all that side of the family had an

53
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 2: intense hold upon me when I was a child, and

54
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: so Scotland for me is definitely my spiritual home. And

55
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: we weirdly, I was going to take a sabbatical in

56
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: Scotland this year and then turned up in March to

57
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: take a sabbatical and found that everyone else was also

58
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: taking a sabbatical, but not, you know, in not having

59
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: chosen to do so. So it's been very weird. I've

60
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: been here since March the third.

61
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 4: Oh so you I mean, right before the world caught

62
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 4: on fire, officially you had gotten to Scotland.

63
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, and weirdly, weirdly, I was this year, my

64
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: sixty first year. I was indulging in making a dream

65
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: come true, which was learning Italian, learning how to speak Italian.

66
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: So I just finished with my husband a month of

67
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: Italian intensive Italian in Venice and Venice was, of course

68
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: in the north of Italy where the crisis suddenly sparked

69
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: and spiked in Europe. So we came from a rather

70
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: locked down Venice in March to Britain, which was more

71
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: or less behaving as usual, of course, which, as it

72
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 2: turned out, was not a good idea.

73
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 4: It's not the move to make in the United States.

74
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: I can tell you very much that it's not the

75
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 4: move to make. But no, okay, so you had been learning?

76
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 4: Where were you learning this Italian? Was it a class?

77
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 4: Was it an app in school? Wow?

78
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: In Venice? In a school in Venice. We were all

79
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,799
Speaker 2: sitting around a table, people with old people, well older

80
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: people with little time and money on their hands, and

81
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 2: really wonderful young Italian teachers working from nine until one

82
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 2: every day, five days a week, learning Italian, which, let

83
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: me tell you, is a bit of a language to learn.

84
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: It's really hard.

85
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 4: What's so difficult about it? I feel like verbs are all.

86
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: The prepositions, the prepositions, the prepositions.

87
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 4: Okay, but I assume you knew a little Italian prior

88
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 4: to that. You spent some time in Italy, right.

89
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 2: I've worked a bus in Italy and I visited Venice

90
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: for the first time with my extraordinarily wonderful gay Scottish

91
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: uncle when I was sixteen, and I just arrived there

92
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: and thought, one day, one day, I'll stay here for

93
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: a long time and I'll be able to speak the

94
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: language and I'll know it, because Venice is the most

95
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: extraordinary place. And actually lockdown has been rather good for Venice.

96
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: It well, I mean obviously the Venetians, well, the Venetians

97
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: will say two things to you. First of all, that

98
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: all the huge massive cruise boats cruise liners that turned up,

99
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: of course don't do that anymore, right, they're extremely delicious

100
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: to life there. Also that for once they're having to

101
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: look at Venice again and say, well, we can't just

102
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 2: have tourism, we can't just live on that, because these

103
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: things happen. And now the streets are theirs again. I mean,

104
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 2: it's that they have a very small residential population Venice now.

105
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 2: But this is the most incredible place. Have you been.

106
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 4: I have not spent any time there, and I don't

107
00:06:54,360 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 4: speak any Italian, but obviously my boyfriend's half Italian, and

108
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 4: so there's about a year yearly plea to go to Italy,

109
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 4: and at some point we'll go there. But who knows. Okay,

110
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 4: but so you were there and.

111
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: You'll be the next meeting. Yeah, that's not.

112
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 4: A bad idea. And you can get you know, we did.

113
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: We got caught there.

114
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 4: And you've got a little sneak peek of what the

115
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 4: rest of the world was about to fall into. Yeah,

116
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 4: we did. It was very strange. And now how are

117
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 4: things in Scotland? Are people still going about their business

118
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 4: or are it seems like people are taking it seriously?

119
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: Oh no, No, Scotland's sort of more in lockdown still

120
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: because the First Minister of Scotland, Nicholas Durgeon, it takes

121
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: a different view to the Johnson government. Yeah, and so

122
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: she is in charge and she's in charge of the

123
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: lockdown easings here and she's taking it slower than they are.

124
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 4: Now you've been that much swer cooped up?

125
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: Do you do?

126
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 4: Cook? Do you cook? What are you doing with your days?

127
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 4: What's a normal lockdown day for Emma Thompson?

128
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: Like I get up at about half past seven or something,

129
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: you know, not early, and then I do a bit

130
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: of yoga, okay, because I'm getting old and if I

131
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,679
Speaker 2: don't do that, my body just isn't fit for purpose.

132
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: So and then I go and wake, or not wake,

133
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: but kind of get my mom up because we are

134
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: living in lockdown with my mum, who's eighty seven. Oh

135
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: lovely guys, granny, and she's got Parkinson's. So there's quite

136
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: a lot of, you know, care stuff to do because

137
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: she's quite lame. She can't do things for herself, quite

138
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: a lot of things. So there's a lot of sock

139
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: work and yeah, and so so that goes on till

140
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: about ten and then I'm liable to fling myself off

141
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 2: upper hill where I will go and just sweat and

142
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: stare at the sky. Sure, and then I come home

143
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: and actually, no, actually I take guy a cup of

144
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: hot water with lemon at ten o'clock. Oh, that's true.

145
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 2: I wake my daughter up first, otherwise she'd sleep till three.

146
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: So and actually Gia is doing all the cooking. Oh

147
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: she is. I am never ever going to let her leave.

148
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: She's such a good cook that whatever happens, I don't

149
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: care if she gets a job, I don't care. I

150
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 2: don't care. If you know, her whole life turns around

151
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: and she meets a guy and they decide to move

152
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: to Italy and be happy and open a restaurant. No,

153
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: she's never leaving here. She's going to be here for

154
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: the rest of her life, cooking for me, her father,

155
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 2: and whoever happens to be turn because she's it's great.

156
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: It's like living in a like a cross between a

157
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 2: care home and a gastropark.

158
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 4: Well, it's time to start laying the tracks to sabotage her.

159
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 4: Clip her wings, find a way to keep her at home.

160
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 4: I think that that's the plan that you've got to do. Change,

161
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 4: just change, change, Just locker into the kitchen.

162
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 2: Look the old the old ways are the best. Yeah,

163
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: on a chain.

164
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 4: Them, chain them in in the kitchen. Where did you

165
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 4: learn to cook? Was from her parents? Or was this

166
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 4: something she just figured out our own.

167
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: God only knows. Look, we can cook a bit, we're

168
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 2: not bad, but she's a step beyond cooking. To me,

169
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 2: seems to be all about seasoning.

170
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 4: Oh, if you underseason, I don't understand the the choice

171
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 4: to underseason anything. People who don't know their foods do this.

172
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 4: What's the goal there? What are we afraid of?

173
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 2: Taste? Taste? Taste. Absolutely, she's very good at that, really

174
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: really good at that. So we are very very lucky,

175
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: very very lucky. And then in the afternoon we or

176
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: what do we do. We indulge in a sport of

177
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: like fencing. There's a lot of bonfires go on because

178
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 2: we've got a bit of land, and upon the land

179
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 2: grow the ubiquitous and indeed not endemic rhododendron that needs

180
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: to be destroyed. It needs to be destroyed. I tell you,

181
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: it needs to be destroyed. So you have to cut

182
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: it all down and burn it. So there's a lot

183
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: of bonfiring going on, which is good fun. I feel

184
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: I'm actually basically an arsonist.

185
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 4: I feel like a Scottish bonfire has something some very

186
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 4: witchy vibes about it. I feel like I'm saying some

187
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 4: kind of dancing witch shadows around a bonfire, and.

188
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: All bonfires have witchy vibes. They're very powerful things. Certainly,

189
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 2: you know when you get a flare with a bonfire

190
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: and this huge twenty foot sheet of flame goes up

191
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: in the air, it does something for you. I gotta

192
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 2: tell you, Bridge, And.

193
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 4: How long does a bonfire go for?

194
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: I mean that, yeah, it can be hours of burning

195
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: and then it can stop, and then the next day

196
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: you can go back and it's still hot and you

197
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: could cook a potato in it?

198
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 4: Really, have you cooked a potato in one? No? Have

199
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 4: you toasted?

200
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 3: Die?

201
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 2: I don't need to cook a potato I've got I've

202
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 2: got my daughter changed to the cooker. Emma.

203
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 4: Have you ever toasted a marshmallow over a fire?

204
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: I have? I have. It's jolly good.

205
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 4: Quarantine. Why aren't you doing that now?

206
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 3: Oh?

207
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 2: Because if I eat sugar, I become the size of

208
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: a shire horse within ten minutes.

209
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 4: So well, then, what are you enjoying for a treat?

210
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 4: What's what's a treat for you?

211
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: This is a martini?

212
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 4: Martini? Sure, that's it.

213
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: That's it. That's my treat.

214
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 4: Okay, that's treat enough.

215
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 2: It is it? Jolly wait, it is?

216
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 4: You've got nowhere to go?

217
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: No one has anywhere to go.

218
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:51,119
Speaker 4: Absolutely nowhere now. In emailing some of our initial emails,

219
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 4: you mentioned there was a I think guy, or you

220
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 4: may have mentioned the idea to send me a sheep

221
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 4: skull which found. Where was the sheep skull found?

222
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: Well, we we do. Suddenly it sounds like we live

223
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: in some sort of coven. We live in. No, No,

224
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: there's the sheep. There's a wall of flame, the sheep skull.

225
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 2: It's all sounding very odd. We keep sheep. We do

226
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: have a tiny flock of rare breed sheep called Ronald's. Yes, now,

227
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: Ronald's are small sheep and their foragers and they used

228
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: to live, yeah, tiny, and they used to they were,

229
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: as it were, the breed originated from the island of

230
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 2: Ronaldsy and the island of Ronalty is very far north.

231
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: And back in the day when rich people were incredibly

232
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 2: mean to the poor. Oh no, wait, that's like today. Okay, Anyway,

233
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: back in the day when rich people were behaving like

234
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: they always have done, the lairhead to fron obviously built

235
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: a big wall around the island and said that all

236
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: the poor islanders with their sheep weren't allowed to graze

237
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 2: their sheep on the island which belonged to him. So

238
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: the poor islanders had to graze their sheep on the beach.

239
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: So the sheep became foragers and extremely fond of seaweed. Yes, yes,

240
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: but of course there weren't many of them, and they're

241
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: one of the breeds on the British Isles that is

242
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: rather rare. And we've got a friend up with Glen

243
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: who is an organic farmer, extraordinary woman who's run her

244
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: farm for forty years single handedly. She said, you know

245
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: what about we start a little flock of rare breed

246
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: sheep and then we'll keep a breed alive. And it's

247
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: a kind of contribution to well, the species extinction that

248
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: we're all finding it so hard to bear, so our

249
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: little sheep. Anyway, But you asked me about the skull,

250
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: which doesn't sound so great. Guys making a sign at me, Well,

251
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: say something. We found it. Well, we found it and

252
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 2: we found it cycling. So in fact, it's not one

253
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: of our sheeps, no, I know, because we've boiled down

254
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: the sheep that we know who died have been boiled.

255
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: Their skulls have been boiled, and in fact, my husband

256
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: has made one of them into a lampshade. What is

257
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: attempting to show you?

258
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 4: Now, let's see here, I'm looking. I'm looking for the

259
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 4: let's see. Is it towards Oh I see it. I

260
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 4: see it towards the top there with the horns.

261
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: That's it. That's the top. That is an old top

262
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: that that died. And Greg boiled the skull to get

263
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: all the kind of nastiness of and then it put

264
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: bulbs in it and turned it.

265
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 4: Into a lamp and are the bulbs in the ear?

266
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: I'm fully expecting him to do that to me when

267
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: I dropped.

268
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 4: We should all be so lucky to have a lamp

269
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 4: made our skulls. Every home should have at least one

270
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 4: family member's skull is a gorgeous lamps, A lamp. I

271
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 4: want two light bulbs coming out of my eye sockets

272
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 4: and just kind of a I mean, I think, if

273
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 4: nothing else, this podcast has fully out of the Emma

274
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:35,320

00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 3: Emma.

277
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 4: I don't want to derail the conversation. Of course we're

278
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 4: both here, but there is something I need to talk

00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 4: to you about. I'm sitting here with my computer in

280
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 4: right behind it. There is an enormous bag. Now, I

281
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 4: think you know full well. When we became we came

282
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,280

Speaker 4: com the podcast is called I said no gifts. But

284
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 4: then there was some fanangling with Jim and then it

285
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 4: became my sister and your daughter Gaya. There was something

286
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 4: happened and a gift was purchased for me yes, Emma,

Speaker 4: want me to open this gift?

289

Speaker 2: I feel you what Okay, I think it's it's yeah,

290
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: you have to.

291
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 4: Here's the I mean. This bag is absolutely gigantic, has

292
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 4: some little an elephant and a rabbit and a bear,

293
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 4: and some sort of hot air balloon.

294
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: In many ways, Yes, we do.

295
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 5: We call it.

296
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: We call it a Helia balloon. Air balloon, absolutely, And

297
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: you've been in one? I have once?

298
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 4: Actually, what was that experience?

299
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: It was loud.

300
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 4: Because there's a guest thing that just goes you don't mind,

301
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 4: so it doesn't sound relaxing at all.

302
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: Well, look, I've only been in one once, and if

303
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 2: you consider the fact that I probably could have chosen

304
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 2: to go in on again, I believe you have your answer.

305
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 4: Yes, it's a once in a lifetime thing. I like

306
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 4: the idea of writing in a to be able to

307
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 4: ride in a little basket sounds nice, But well, what

308
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 4: got you in a hot air balloon? You just felt

309
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 4: like doing it?

310
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 3: It was.

311
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 2: Oh blimey. It was such a long time ago. It

312
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: was about thirty god wait, no more thirty five years ago.

313
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 2: I was married to somebody else and we were in.

314
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: We were on a safari, oh anyone I've ever been on, actually,

315
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 2: And one of the things that was done was we

316
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: were taken off over the Actually it was a Nassaimara

317
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 2: in a hot air balloon, which was which was remarkable,

318
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: but as far as I can recall, it was also

319
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: quite cloudy. I think we entered a cloud, enjoyed it,

320
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: exited the cloud and landed on the ground and had

321
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 2: rather a nice breakfast. But so maybe that's why I've

322
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: never gone in one again. Right, So you know it's

323
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 2: just too risky. No, this is a big old deal,

324
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 2: blowing up this damn thing. You get in it, you

325
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 2: get up there, there's a cloud and it's over. Yeah,

326
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: just do it in LA That's fine because there's always

327
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: blue skies there.

328
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 4: I would love to go over Los Angeles in a

329
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 4: hot air balloon.

330
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to say it would be great, definitely, with

331
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: a large collection of cuddly toys.

332
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 4: Yes, immediately run into some police helicopter and that's the

333
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 4: end of me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, I'm going to

334
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 4: open this. It's very heavy, and I'll say that when

335
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 4: Jim was wrapping this last night he said something like,

336
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 4: I don't know what's in this bag, he said. I

337
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 4: think I over ordered, so I have no idea what's

338
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 4: happening in this bag. Let's open it up?

339
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 5: Aw cool?

340
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 4: What okay? So okay, yeah, called snow snowballs, snowballs. It

341
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 4: looks like some sort of it's oh, how odd it's

342
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 4: it's a marshmallow snack. We've already talked about marshmallows. I'm

343
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 4: telling people I know I can, at least within twenty

344
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 4: minutes tell the future. This is incredible. So this is

345
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 4: some and I obviously there's more to come in this bag,

346
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 4: but let's talk about snowballs first. What's happening here?

347
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: Okay, So, as you know, I'm in Scotland, right Scotland.

348
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: Scottish people consume more sugar per head than all of

349
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 2: the people in Europe put together. And one of the

350
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 2: ways in which they consume sugar, the means by which

351
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:56,239
Speaker 2: via which they consume this unspeakable amount of sugar, is

352
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: through the ton of snowball, which was my father's favorite snack,

353
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 2: possibly contributing to his early death at the age of

354
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: fifty two. So I'm not recommending it anyway. It is

355
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 2: a large marshmallow, not a not a very dense marshmallow.

356
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 2: It's mellow rather than without the marsh, and around the

357
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 2: mellow is a sort of coating of chocolate type style chocolate.

358
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm losing weight.

359
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 2: And then yeah, and then they're so good. They're so good.

360
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: A bit of toasted coconut flakes. Oh good, that's what

361
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: it is. And it's it's heaven. And actually I'm literally

362
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 2: celebrating as I'm describing it to you.

363
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 4: Are are there any of these in your house right now?

364
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 2: No, of course they're not. I told you about me

365
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: and sugar. I literally I eat one of those and

366
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 2: I'm just I can't get out of the door.

367
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 4: Guy is indicating that possibly she may have some hidden

368
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 4: in the house. This is good, she said. They're like

369
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 4: crack cocaine for me. I just can't be allowed. This

370
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 4: is this is literally, I mean, exactly up my alley.

371
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 4: This is I mean, should I eat one on podcasts?

372
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 4: Or should I? I feel like that's rude to eat

373
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 4: on podcasts. It's not without president. I have eaten other

374
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 4: snacks on this before, but I don't want to. I

375
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 4: know people don't want to hear my mouth on a

376
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 4: microphone chewing up a marshmallow. What do you think I

377
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 4: should do? It's not much to them. I think you

378
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 4: could risk it.

379
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 3: I eat one.

380
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 4: I mean, it's ten thirty in the morning. It seems

381
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 4: like the perfect time to be doing mellow. Okay, here

382
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 4: we go. I love that everyone else on this recording

383
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 4: is going to sit here and watch while I eat

384
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 4: a snowball. I'm going to try to. I'm gonna get

385
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 4: away from the microphone. I don't think people need to

386
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 4: hear my mouth chewing or uh you know, oh my god.

387
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 2: But as you can see, it's a soft thing. Yeah,

388
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 2: don't yet, be careful exactly. Look it came apart in

389
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: his hands. Listeners, Yes, he's his fingers and it's going

390
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 2: down pretty well. I'd say this is come on. I mean,

391
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 2: it's good, isn't it. I'm gonna processed sugar. This is

392
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: the equivalent of.

393
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 6: Mum watching pawn watching you consume a snow snowballs.

394
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 4: I'm going to start charging people for this so they

395
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 4: can watch me eat a marshmallow online. This is incredible.

396
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 4: This is absolutely something that is not of the earth.

397
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 4: This is this is exactly the sort of thing I

398
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 4: need to eat, just from another realm created purely of

399
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 4: chemicals and sugar and I love it.

400
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 2: It's sot Well, you know, it's a very old Scottish firm, Tonics,

401
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 2: and they make other things that you may find in

402
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 2: your bag. They are equally delicious. Yeah, they are my

403
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 2: if I need to eat something that I know is

404
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: not the wisest thing, I will always always go for Tonics. No,

405
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: and they do. They make trains, little baby trains with

406
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 2: Tonics and to.

407
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 4: Say, yeah, you know that an actual train company.

408
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 2: Which would be great. I mean, Scottish people are pretty

409
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 2: amazing like that. And I don't think that anyone who

410
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 2: did inventor train or indeed electricity, as all the Scottish did,

411
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: ever went without Tomics.

412
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 4: It reminds me one of my favorite candies is called

413
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 4: a Scotch mallow. It sold at a candy store here

414
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 4: in the US called seas Like. It's like a marshmallow

415
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 4: and caramel in chocolate. Does that god, I mean, should

416
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 4: that be called the Scotch Does that qualify Scotch Marlow?

417
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 4: What do we think? Does that feel like a Scottish thing?

418
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 2: It sounds like they've taken the Scotch egg, the principle

419
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 2: of the Scotch egg is there's an egg inside a

420
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 2: big thick thing right of pork, but they've done it

421
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: the other way. So then so the caramel is like

422
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 2: the egg, right, and the mallows like the pool. It's

423
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: a Scotch like Scotch egg. Scotch man made that connection.

424
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 2: I need to have one right now? Could you get

425
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 2: Is there anyway we can?

426
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 4: I feel like you need to have it?

427
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: Sounds sounds so I'll be in touch with jerky.

428
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,239
Speaker 4: You've got to try them. They're just absolutely fantastic. And

429
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 4: an employee told me if you put it in the

430
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 4: microwave for five seconds, it's even I mean, I got

431
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 4: I reveal a lot about my eating habits on this

432
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 4: podcast that they are not normal, and I need to

433
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 4: rain it in a little bit. But I'm just going

434
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 4: to keep telling people that I'm microwaving chocolates for my

435
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 4: own enjoyment. Whatever. That's what you signed up for here.

436
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 2: You have to understand that in Scotland, it's normal. In Scotland,

437
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 2: they would take that thing and they would deep fry it.

438
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 4: That's what I need. No, absolutely, I've got a little

439
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 4: Scottish ancestry. I think that's it's coming through. You've got

440
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 4: red hair Bridge.

441
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: You've got Scottish ancestry.

442
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that you have. This marshmallow thing is

443
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 4: coming through in a big way. The genetics.

444
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 2: Actually, you've got Celtic gens.

445
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 4: Right, and we all know the Celts loved a marshmallow totally.

446
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 4: They had those bonfires they were toasting.

447
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: The whole seventeenth century marshmallow wild Like, yeah, rightly.

448
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:02,840

Speaker 4: I feel like birthdays now. I mean I'm getting a

452
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 4: lot of questions through the email about like celebrating things

453
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 4: in quarantine, and I haven't had any celebrations myself. But

Speaker 2: I can't even what's My brain's gone and so's ear.

458
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 2: Oh that's such a comfort. It's wonderful when the young

459
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 2: can't remember things, it's such just struggle to remember something.

460
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 2: It's fantastic. We just were here as we have been

461
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 2: for all this time. I can't remember how much time

462

Speaker 2: it is. Now we're me, my mother and Guya and

463
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 2: my husband. So there's what's interesting about it is there's

464
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: three generations of women. Right, So there's a twenty year old,

465
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 2: a sixty one year old, and an eighty eight year

466
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: old and.

467
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 4: Then one day.

468
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he spends most of the time outside, yeah,

469
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: shaving sheep and all that. So, yeah, that was interesting,

470
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 2: wasn't it very interesting? I can't remember what we had

471
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 2: to eat.

472
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 5: You've got some very good presents. So in my head

473
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 5: it looks like Waco. It's just these sort of.

474
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 6: Barns and one of them, Dad has converted into a

475
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 6: sort of home bar basically, and he got mum a huge.

476
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 5: Fluorescent cocktails outside.

477
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 2: What does the sign say, well, you know, one of

478
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 2: the yes cocktails. One of the things that I do love,

479
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 2: and I do think is a wonderful artform is the

480
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 2: neon light.

481
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 4: Oh I love a neon light and a puddle.

482
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: Take me back to Oh my god, a neon light

483
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 2: in a puddle. I'd rather look at that than a

484
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 2: blooming clips. A neon light in a puddle is such

485
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: an image, is it not.

486
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 4: That's the most beautiful. Yes, we've got some sort of way.

487
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 2: I have a cocktail sign. I've got a cocktail sign.

488
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 2: It's pink and it's in that classic kind of loves

489
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 2: and I got that for my birthday from my old man.

490
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 4: Oh that's a terrific gift.

491
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 2: Wow, very good.

492
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 4: You're still getting good gifts from your partner.

493
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 2: That's good. It's not bad after twenty five years.

494
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 4: Do you feel like you two do a good job

495
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 4: of giving each other gifts?

496
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 2: Actually, we're pretty good. He's just had a birthday as well,

497
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: and I gave him a portable winch. Oh.

498
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 4: Interesting. Oh and what is he doing with the winch

499
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 4: pulling things out of the mud, dragging shoes?

500
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: Yes, he's wenching things with it, and left, right and center,

501
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 2: we fully all of us expect to be winched. The

502
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 2: least opportunity is going to fling the bell end. It's

503
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 2: called Seriously, these are Canadians that built this thing. They're sensible.

504
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: They call it by the name that suits it. Because

505
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: he's wenching large well logs. But I mean they're like trees.

506
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,959
Speaker 4: Right, So is he pulling them out of the ground.

507
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, not out of the ground as it were, by

508
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 2: the root, but they having been chopped down, they're out

509
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: of branches, having been taken off. He then attaches a

510
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 2: piece of rope and the winch, which is not much

511
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: larger than my computer, is.

512
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 4: Small, oh clever, simple machine.

513
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a simple machine, but if you've got enough

514
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 2: block and tackle, you can pull the most extraordinary, like

515
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 2: half a ton of woods the river. Incredible and so

516
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 2: he so he got that for his birthday and it's

517
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: it's really now the only thing he's ever loved.

518
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 6: I have four boxes of chocolate raisins spam.

519
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 4: Spam. Spam is like a good quarantine food.

520
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 2: Well, yes and no, depending on whether when you leave

521
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 2: quarantine you wish to live or not.

522
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 4: Right, right, But if you combined it with chocolate raisins,

523
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 4: I think you're fine.

524
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: You'd be fine.

525
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 4: Chocolate raisins. Yes, Okay, I'm diving back into the bag.

526
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 4: We've got to see what else is in there. It's

527
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 4: truely five pound bag. And I will also say last

528
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 4: night Jim left this bag out, and I thought, before

529
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 4: I fell asleep, I should put that in the closet

530
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 4: and close the door, because who knows what in there.

531
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 4: The dog may get it. We would have woken up

532
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 4: to a dog having eaten probably seventy marshmallows. This would

533
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 4: have been I'm gonna I'm gonna revoke the dog. Would

534
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 4: let's face it, Yes, yeah, yes, she's been known to eat.

535
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 4: But let's keep diving here. So we're just gonna I'm

536
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 4: going to take out what's probably eighteen boxes of snowballs.

537
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 4: So we'll just make a little wall out of these,

538
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 4: and then here's some tissue. There. Three boxes of snowballs,

539
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 4: four of snowballs, boxes of snow we've gone to the

540
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 4: sixth the box. This is the good thing is did

541
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 4: he not get any tea cakes?

542
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 5: You get any tea cakes?

543
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 4: Well, we have no idea. There's I mean, I'm counting.

544
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: If it's all snowballs, you're you're losing.

545
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 4: Out eight boxes of snowballs, nine boxes of snowballs. I'm

546
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 4: not exaggerating this.

547
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: He's just bought snowballs. He hasn't bought the Tonic's tea cake.

548
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 4: Well, let's just wait and see what happened. Because two

549
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 4: different boxes did arrive in the mail, and so I

550
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 4: assume one of them had another Here we go, ah

551
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 4: very bard teacake. So he what he's done is he

552
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:18,239
Speaker 4: ordered a single box of these teacakes, and then I

553
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 4: think at least ten boxes of chocolate covered marshals. I'm

554
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 4: not kidding this is I don't have this online order

555
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 4: even worked because this feels like this is a small box.

556
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 4: This feels like something that should have been ten.

557
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like what happened was Jim

558
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 2: ordered that, and then the dog came in and he

559
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: got distracted and he sat on the computer and accidentally

560
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 2: ordered eighty five boxes of something else, which you are

561
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 2: now saddled with. But the Tonic's teacake, I'm going to

562
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 2: a whole other thing. Tell me about the teacakes. Okay,

563
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 2: the teacake is a different version of somewhat similar item. Right,

564
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 2: So the Talics teacake features for your for your listeners,

565
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 2: a little tiny Oreo sized, slight biscuit. It's a biscuit,

566
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 2: but it's not it's not very crunchy. It's kind of

567
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 2: a little bit soft. And on top of that, there

568
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 2: is a marshmallow. All right, and then the entirety of

569
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:33,239
Speaker 2: those two items is enrobed in chocolate. Oh well, I'm

570
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 2: going to I think you probably have something like that

571
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 2: in the States already. I feel like if you haven't,

572
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 2: we have a.

573
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 4: Lot of covered in chocolate here and.

574
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 2: You have a lot of mallow based arrangement.

575
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 4: I just love I'm gonna obviously has melted a little

576
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 4: bit in the mail and again obviously, and it's crushed.

577
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 4: It's a little crush, but that's fine. I'm gonna, yeah,

578
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 4: I apologize for eating in front of you. I mean,

579
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 4: but again, this is my podcast, so not too much.

580
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, so do all. I'm going to take

581
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 2: my goddess deeply. Miss you see the difference. It's a

582
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 2: whole other thing.

583
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 4: Biting into this. I'm gonna swallow here. We have something

584
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 4: here called a pin wheel for listeners. We have which

585
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 4: I've loved since childhood. I remember going to a cabin,

586
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 4: my grandpa's cabin when I was about five, and I

587
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 4: got to choose the snack. I chose a pin wheel.

588
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,959
Speaker 4: You have, really, I mean, this feels like some sort

589
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 4: of bizarre inception style subconscious dive into my brain. You've

590
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 4: found the marshmallows. You've sent the marshmallows. This is exactly

591
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 4: my alley. It's crazy to me.

592
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: That's very strange. So, I mean, and you're associating that

593
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: with a childhood experience and a childhood experience in the

594
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 2: countryside as well.

595
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 4: Right, So it's taken me back in time into the mountain.

596
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 4: I'm staring at the door deer. You've taken me on

597
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 4: an absolute ride here. It's psychotic. My question, why is

598
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 4: it called a tea cake. I don't feel like I

599
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 4: would eat this with tea.

600
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 2: We will eat anything with tea, as you know, the British,

601
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 2: not so much the Scottish actually, although I think they

602
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 2: like tea too. And you must remember that I am

603
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 2: from both cultures, so I am half Keelt and half

604
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 2: Anglo Saxon. It's been very different. We go back to heritage,

605
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 2: the combination to heritage, Yes, because I think it is

606
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 2: very interesting, very very interesting food country. You know, what

607
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 2: creates us, what's in our what makes us our dna.

608
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 2: You know, when you ask me about gifts and what

609
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 2: to send, it's interesting that I should have chosen, you know,

610
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 2: really what is essentially a sugary snack, but is in

611
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 2: fact a deeply meaningful bit of family history and to

612
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: do with sugar, right of course, which is a huge

613
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 2: element in Scotland and a huge element in our history.

614
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: I mean our slave trade, our slave trade or sugar.

615
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 2: You know. So sugar is something that was never good

616
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 2: for us in the first place, and certainly the way

617
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 2: it came to us was horrific and horrendous and should

618
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: never have happened. But sugar is so so powerful. You know,

619
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 2: that little taste of sugar took you back to your

620
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 2: granddad and the woods and the tonics, tea cake and

621
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 2: the snowball takes me back to my father. Wonder if

622
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 2: those moments of intense pleasure to do with these things

623
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 2: are what right us? You know, what created us?

624
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 4: Yes? Absolutely. And then on the other end of sugar,

625
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 4: I think, which is so interesting about human beings. I

626
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 4: think it's such an animal thing because sugar is also

627
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 4: essentially for us poison, and it feels very like to me.

628
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, I'm very close to being a dog

629
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 4: because I will absolutely fill my body with sugar, which

630
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 4: I know is bad for me, but it tastes so

631
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 4: wonderful in my mouth and I can't stop eating this poison.

632
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 4: But it's because it's connected to all of these things.

633
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 2: Yes it is.

634
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 4: I've had, you know, two marshmallows. It's ten fifty in

635
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 4: the morning, and I'm high as a kite.

636
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is extraordinary.

637
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 4: I feel like it's time now for the game portion

638
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 4: of the podcast. Okay, I think I want to play

639
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 4: with you a game called Gift or a curse. Yes,

640
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 4: I need a number from you between one and ten.

641
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 2: Three.

642
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 4: Okay, I have to go calculate something from a random

643
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 4: list of objects for the next undetermined amount of time.

644
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 4: You can promote something, you can recommend something, you can

645
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 4: do whatever you want. This is now your podcast for

646
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 4: who knows how long. I'll be right back.

647
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 2: Oh my god, people, what is he doing? I know

648
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 2: what he's doing. He's going away and he's going to

649
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 2: open all those snowballs and mesh them into one enormous snowball,

650
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 2: and then he's going to sit in it. At least

651
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 2: that's what I do. So people, here, we all are

652
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 2: in the middle of this strange time. And if you

653
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: are feeling in a hole, plant something in it, into

654
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 2: the darkness, plant all the little seeds, and in a

655
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 2: couple of years time, when we come out of this,

656
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 2: which we will, because this has all happened before, it

657
00:38:54,880 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: is unquestionable that it's all happened before, things will be different.

658
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 2: So I think in your whole one of the seeds

659
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 2: should be the question, how do I want it to

660
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 2: be different?

661
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 4: What a beautiful use of that time. I mean, you

662
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 4: know I had had things calculated, but I was not

663
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 4: going to cut that off. What a wonderful look, bit

664
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 4: of time filling and so valuable for everybody. But Emma,

665
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 4: unfortunately we're moving on because we're going to play this

666
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 4: game and I need your concentration. Gift, I'm going to

667
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 4: name three things you have to tell me, whether they're

668
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 4: a gift or a curse and why. Okay, first thing,

669
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,800
Speaker 4: romance gift or a curse?

670
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: Oh both?

671
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 4: Why both?

672
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 2: Because romance is so appealing, so beautiful, so irresistible, so

673
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 2: invented by the French Jubidals in the fourteenth century, and

674
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 2: so not useful because it creates false expectations. And then

675
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 2: when it goes wrong, everyone doesn't understand why, and everyone says, well,

676
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 2: why don't I have a happy ending? Why is this

677
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 2: romantic story ending in this way? Because nobody's said at

678
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 2: the same time, you are going to be disappointed no

679
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 2: matter what, no matter what, even if you marry this

680
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 2: person and it's marvelous and it all turns out the

681
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: way you wanted it and you have children and a

682
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 2: nice house, you will still be disappointed. So please, everyone

683
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 2: get a grip. That's why. Wow, they're both, It's both.

684
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 4: I love that answer. You've got my back against the wall. Here,

685
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 4: I can't tell you if you're right or wrong. You're

686
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 4: really riding the fence, which is unfair to me as

687
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 4: a host. But I'm going I don't.

688
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 2: Think I'm riding the fence. I think it's fair enough

689
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 2: to say that it is both.

690
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 4: Surely I'm going to give this to you, Emma, but

691
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 4: only because it was. It was some good points here.

692
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 4: I can argue too much. Romance is both a gift

693
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 4: and a curse. Expectations we'll get you in the end.

694
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 4: So we're going to move on. We're going to say

695
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 4: you're one for one, very well played. Let's see if

696
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,240
Speaker 4: you can handle number two. Vacuuming gift or a curse

697
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 4: for me?

698
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 2: God, I so want to say both again. I okay,

699
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 2: it's a gift. As my daughter and husband will tell you,

700
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 2: I have a slight obsession with vacuum cleaners. I have,

701
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 2: I do. I have a lot of vacuum cleaners, and

702
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 2: actually I'm literally looking at one now that that vacuums

703
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 2: this flaw and basically takes If you vacuumed yourself with it,

704
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 2: it would just take your skin off. It's a powerful machine.

705
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 4: This is a vacuum I.

706
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 2: Don't even know how the carpet survived. Is seriously, it's

707
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 2: a great machine, and it's particular for this room. In

708
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 2: my mother's place, I have something that is it's like

709
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 2: a sort of it's the ballerina of a vacuum cleaner.

710
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 2: It's like the it's like the Margo Front. It's just

711
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 2: it's the Audrey Headburn of the vacuum. You lift it,

712
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 2: you lift it gently, gently, ever so gently off it's

713
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 2: electrical charger and it will vacuum a large space and

714
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 2: then you have to immediately empty it out otherwise it

715
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 2: has a fit and won't work on you. And I

716
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 2: love that vacuum pletic. Then down down in my house,

717
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 2: I have another vacuum cleaner which is like it's got

718
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 2: a long kind of trunk thing and you can get

719
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 2: in under beds. So vacuuming is something that I I

720
00:42:55,320 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 2: believe in passionately. And that lockdown and the amount of crumbs.

721
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 4: The crumb you've got, marshmallow.

722
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 2: Crum, crumbs, stuff that the creation of crumb in lockdown

723
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 2: is so incessant. So so vacuuming to me here at

724
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 2: the moment is a boon and a blessing, and I

725
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 2: won't hear a word set against it?

726
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 4: Do you hear me, Emma, I'm going to just tell

727
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 4: you right off the bat, I thought the vacuuming was

728
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 4: going to get you. I am fully on board with

729
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 4: vacuuming being a gift. I love to vacuum. It's one

730
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 4: of the easiest house to hold chores. You're kind a

731
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 4: little machine. It's doing its job. Maybe you've got some

732
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 4: music on, or you have the nice hum of the vacuum.

733
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 4: You know you're making progress. The crumbs are getting sucked up,

734
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 4: the hair is getting sucked up.

735
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 2: It looks different when you finished, whereas if you maybe

736
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 2: change the bed, it does a little different.

737
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 4: No, with vacuuming, you're saying real progress as you move along.

738
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 4: It's like mowing the lawn in the house. It's fantastic.

739
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 2: Exactly, Yeah, totally two for two.

740
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 4: This is insane. I'm going to tell you I came

741
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 4: into this game thinking I'm going to just knock out him.

742
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 4: She's just going to fail, fall on her face, humiliate herself.

743
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 4: But so far, so good. Let's see if number three

744
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 4: gift or a curse guitar solos.

745
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 2: Oh, well, Hendrix, one word, Hendrix.

746
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 4: You're saying gift, well, a gift.

747
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 2: A gift to the world forever in a day.

748
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 4: I want to disagree. I think this is this is

749
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 4: I said, no gifts, You've made history. I don't know

750
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 4: that anyone's ever gotten three out of three here, and

751
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 4: I was really hoping to just nail you. It didn't

752
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,439
Speaker 4: work out as planned. Guitar solos are a gift, even

753
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 4: when they're bad. At least it's a little break from

754
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 4: the song, adds a little texture, or or it shows

755
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 4: you that you're listening to a bad artist playing an

756
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 4: air guitar solo. Maybe a curse, but it's also fun

757
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 4: to do. I love a guitar solo if you, I

758
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 4: will say, an improvised guitar solo can get a little long.

759
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 2: That said, it depends yes, yes, and it depends, of course,

760
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 2: upon the.

761
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:17,919
Speaker 5: Right I mean.

762
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 2: And as well, a drum solo can weigh you down.

763
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 4: A drum solo, when executed well, is a wonderful surprise

764
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 4: because you think I'm going to be bored, but then

765
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 4: you're You're thrilled, You're thrilled. I guess, I guess what

766
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 4: we're talking about is people just need to be good

767
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 4: at what they're doing.

768
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 2: If you're gonna do what they're doing, it's a thrill.

769
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,919
Speaker 2: It's such a thrill to see anybody doing. And we're

770
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 2: doing something well right, and we're taking a little break

771
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 2: from the singing. We're taking a little break. We're gonna

772
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 2: get the solo in there. Emma, congratulations on three out

773
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,919
Speaker 2: of three gift or a curse. I mean, I will

774
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 2: say the first one you picked gift and curse. But

775
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 2: it worked in such a way that I can't deny it. Wow,

776
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 2: we've reached the final part of the podcast. I said

777
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 2: no questions. People, of course, are writing into I Said

778
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 2: No Gifts at gmail dot com. The list of questions

779
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 2: has gotten a little out of control because we recorded

780
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 2: so many episodes in advance. We've got I mean, my

781
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 2: apologies if I never get to some of these people's questions,

782
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 2: but we're gonna do what we can. Would you mind

783
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 2: helping me patter some questions here? I'm so so happy too.

784
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 4: All right, let me read the first one here, Heybridger

785
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 4: and guest. My ex husband has a birthday coming up.

786
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 4: I don't like him and am unmotivated to make an effort,

787
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 4: but he is the father of my child. And always

788
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 4: gets me gifts from my birthday. This is very complicated.

789
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 4: I have given him a plethora of gifts in the past.

790
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 4: What would you do? Love the podcast? Courtney from Virginia,

791
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 4: So we know she's a good egg. First of all,

792
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,240
Speaker 4: she's complimenting the podcast, so thank you for that, Emma.

793
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 4: This situation feels why are these two people who don't

794
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 4: like each other giving each other gifts? That's my first question. Yeah,

795
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 4: I think that's the first question.

796
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 2: But Corney from rig you're a jolly decent, decent person

797
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 2: to even think about it. And what you do is

798
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 2: you shamelessly use your children. You give the gift, you

799
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 2: say you help your child to make the gift, and

800
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 2: the child says, and this is from mummy. And it

801
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: could be anything. It could be literally could be a

802
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 2: some tach, it could be.

803
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 4: Any particle sticks taped together.

804
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 2: It could be taped together, and you don't have to

805
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 2: worry about it. And you say to you make something

806
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 2: with mummy to give to Daddy, and you know it's

807
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 2: the ultimate go between.

808
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 4: That's that's my advice on some level. A beautiful mind game.

809
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and short results in plenty of therapy bills.

810
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 4: Later on, of course, but you know, we're all headed

811
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 4: an investment in.

812
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 2: The therapeutic industry, and I think that's.

813
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 4: All makee I mean, my other suggestion, you give this

814
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 4: person a gift card to a restaurant that he never

815
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 4: wanted to go to in the first place. So then

816
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 4: you're really sticking it to him. It's still a gift.

817
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 4: You can't say no. He has to graciously accept. But

818
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 4: now I feel like this is a good opportunity to

819
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 4: get back at this terrible ex take.

820
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you train yeah, or you say to the child,

821
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 2: here's some watercress seeds. Daddy would love it if you

822
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 2: just sow the watercress seeds into his Chinese silk carpet

823
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 2: and water them. He will love that because when that

824
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 2: starts growing, you'll be able to stay to him. This

825
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 2: is a gift for a mummy.

826
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 4: You will never get rid of. He yeah again, And.

827
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 2: Now your Chinese silk carpet is ruined because there's a

828
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 2: lawn growing in it.

829
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 4: That's what you get, Daniel. All right, let's move on.

830
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 4: Let's do one more. You know, I have thirty pages

831
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 4: of questions. The least I can do is answer one

832
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 4: more question on this podcast with the lovely Emma Thompson

833
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 4: and your The advice so far has been excellent. This

834
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 4: one is just says Heybridger, So my apology. They're not

835
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 4: addressing you here, but that's fine. I have a friend

836
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 4: who is getting married during the quarantine. They'll be filming

837
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 4: the wedding and then the reception will be next year

838
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 4: whenever this ends. I'm a bridesmaid, and since she hasn't

839
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 4: had any wedding showers, I'd like to give them a

840
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 4: nice gift before the wedding recommendations. That's from Hannah Walker.

841
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 4: She says love who knows if she means it. So

842
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 4: her friend's getting married now they're going to have a

843
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 4: thing and the future things get very confusing.

844
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 3: You know.

845
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,959
Speaker 2: It's got to be all gifts now need to be

846
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 2: about promises, don't they And they need to be about experience,

847
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 2: and they need to be the opposite of consumption. I

848
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 2: love what I've found really really disturbing when everyone says

849
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 2: we've got to get back to normal. Actually there are

850
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 2: certain forms of normal we really have to avoid, and

851
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 2: one of those is over consumption. Yes, because it's become

852
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 2: rapacious and grazy and ultimately unsustainable. So to Hannah, I

853
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 2: would say, you know, make your gift like a voucher,

854
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 2: personal voucher that says we're going to have an experience

855
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 2: together that's going to be different and special, and you've

856
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 2: got plenty of time to think about it, and it's

857
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 2: not going to be about things, and it's never ever,

858
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 2: ever going to be about things, right anymore, Let's not

859
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 2: do that anymore. Let's make it about what we have

860
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 2: in our minds and what we have in our memories

861
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 2: and everything that we can we can recycle in our

862
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 2: own memories and go back to on our own memories

863
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 2: and enjoy again in our own memories. There are such

864
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 2: things as recyclable gifts, and they are memories absolutely.

865
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 4: I mean, you are saying this to a man who's

866
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:56,399
Speaker 4: sitting in front of about fifty boxes of chocolate marshmallows.

867
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 4: So it's true.

868
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 2: Obviously it doesn't apply to me because I'm completely here

869
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 2: all these things always by saying it's easy to say

870
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 2: these things. Yeah, but you know, a box of a

871
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 2: box of Top of Ton teacakes isn't going to last

872
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 2: you very long.

873
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 4: That's true. I'm going to be sick to my stomach

874
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 4: and then.

875
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 2: You can use them to light your first really big bonfire.

876
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 4: I go out on the patio, catch the apartment building

877
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 4: on fire. I think we've got something new to worry about.

878
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 4: It takes your mind off of things for a minute.

879
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely no, But I do think I agree with this.

880
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 4: Give them a little you know, like in any other

881
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 4: situation pre quarantine, giving that somebody a coupon for a

882
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 4: future thing always just feels like you didn't do anything.

883
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 4: But right now it feels like a real thing. A

884
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 4: year from now, we're going to do this. We're going

885
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,760
Speaker 4: to I don't know, We're gonna go to the beach

886
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 4: and we're going to sit next to each other and

887
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 4: we're going to just live our lives. I think an

888
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 4: experience is wonderful. Don't give them something. Don't give them

889
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 4: a plastic kitchen appliance. That's the last thing they're going

890
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 4: to need. Emma. We're just going to answer those two questions.

891
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 4: I feel like we've been more than generous with the advice.

892
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:12,240
Speaker 4: If people want more, they can come bang at my door.

893
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 4: They can come bang at your rowing back.

894
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 5: Right.

895
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 4: It's been so lovely having you here. It's just wonderful

896
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 4: to connect with somebody six six to eight hours in

897
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 4: the future. It feels terrific, and thank you for coming on,

898
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 4: I said, no gifts.

899
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you Bridgard for inviting me via my wonderful daughter,

900

Speaker 2: energy out into the world. It's a great gift and

903
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 2: I'm been very much appreciated by old and young alike.

904
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,919
Speaker 4: Oh it makes me very happy, and I can't wait

905
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 4: for the news to break that Emma Thompson has locked

906
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 4: her daughter in a kitchen. The darkness. It's going to

907
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 4: be total, but at least we got the scoop here.

908
