00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: Well, I invited you here, thought I made myself perfectly clear.

00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: But you're I guess to my home. You gotta come

3
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: to me empty, and I said, no, guests, your presence

4
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: is presents enough.

00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: I already had too much stuff, So how did you

00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,320

Speaker 3: It's ten am. I'm dressed, I'm showered. I've brushed my teeth.

10
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 3: I don't know why. Well, I'll tell you why. Something's afoot.

00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 3: We've got a guest today that's several hours ahead, and

12
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 3: I'm just thrilled, beyond all thrills. Today we've got none

Speaker 3: other than Emma Thompson. Emma, welcome to. I said no gifts, Oh,

14
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 3: thank you. I also have brushed my teeth, which has

15
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: it turned out, was unwise because I'm drinking a martini. Oh,

16
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: that's got to be an interesting combination of flavors.

17
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 4: It's not good. It's not good. I can't recommend it.

18
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 3: What time is it there?

19
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 4: It is six o'clock. You're we are yep?

20
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, several hours in the future.

21
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 4: Yes, Emma.

22
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: Have they found a vaccine in your timeline?

23
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: Oh?

24
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: Obviously yes.

25
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 3: Oh, thank God. Okay, beautiful, but only for sheep, only

26
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 3: for shame.

27
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 5: Okay perfect Unfortunately, Well, the sheep will go, will survive

28
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 5: for all of us, will build a new society, and earth, yes.

29
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 3: Will be theirs. Now, yeah, I have to say, up

30
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: until we both got on the Zoom call with your

31
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: daughter guy about five minutes ago, up until then, I

32
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 3: was absolutely ninety nine percent sure that you were not

33
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: going to appear, that I was going to learn that

34
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: I had been scammed, that this was some sort of

35
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 3: sophisticated scam that somehow had gotten. It would have been

36
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: beyond all scams, because the way we got in touch

37
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 3: was through email, and I of course was bowled over

38
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: that you had been listening to the show, and I

39
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: was excited, and you even provided a phone number for

40
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 3: me to call, which I didn't because I didn't want

41
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: to bother you. But as I was falling asleep last night,

42
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 3: knowing we were going to do this today, I thought

43
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 3: maybe I should have bothered her, because if we get

44
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: on it's some teen that's scamming me. The rest of

45
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 3: my twenty twenty is over for me. But here you are, here, here, here,

46
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 3: I am with them. All I've washed my hair as well. Hey,

47
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: we've both washed our hair. We looked, Yes, we look amazing.

48
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 3: How long have you been in Scotland You've been kind.

49
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 4: Of we've where we've So. I'm half Scottish and my

50
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 4: childhood was largely spent in Scotland, and because my mum's

51
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 4: Scottish and all that side of the family had an

52
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 4: intense hold upon me when I was a child, and

53
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: so Scotland for me is definitely my spiritual home. And

54
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: we weirdly, I was going to take a sabbatical in

55
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 4: Scotland this year and then turned up in March to

56
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 4: take a sabbatical and found that everyone else was also

57
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 4: taking a sabbatical, but not, you know, in not having

58
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 4: chosen to do so. So it's been very weird. I've

59
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 4: been here since March the third.

60
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: Oh so you I mean, right before the world caught

61
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: on fire, officially you had gotten to Scotland.

62
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 4: So yeah, and weirdly, weirdly, I was this year, my

63
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 4: sixty first year. I was indulging in making a dream

64
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 4: come true, which was learning Italian, learning how to speak Italian.

65
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 4: So I just finished with my husband a month of

66
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 4: Italian intensive Italian in Venice and Venice was, of course

67
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: in the north of Italy where the crisis suddenly sparked

68
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 4: and spiked in Europe. So we came from a rather

69
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 4: locked down Venice in March to Britain, which was more

70
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 4: or less behaving as usual, of course, which, as it

71
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 4: turned out, was not a good idea.

72
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 3: It's not the move to make in the United States.

73
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 3: I can tell you very much that it's not the

74
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 3: move to make. But no, okay, so you had been learning.

75
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 3: Where were you learning this Italian? Was it a class?

76
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: Was it an app in school? Wow?

77
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 4: In Venice? In a school in Venice, we were all

78
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 4: sitting around a table, people with old people, well older

79
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 4: people with little time and money on their hands, and

80
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 4: really wonderful young Italian teachers working from nine until one

81
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 4: every day, five days a week learning Italian, which, let

82
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 4: me tell you, is a bit of a language to learn.

83
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 4: It's really hard.

84
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 3: What's so difficult about it? I feel like verbs are

85
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: all well.

86
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 4: The prepositions, the prepositions, the prepositions.

87
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: Okay, but.

88
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 3: I assume you knew a little Italian prior to that.

89
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: You spent some time in Italy, right.

90
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 4: I've worked a bit in Italy and I visited Venice

91
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 4: for the first time with my extraordinarily wonderful gay Scottish

92
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 4: uncle when I was sixteen, and I just arrived there

93
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 4: and thought, one day, one day, I'll stay here for

94
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 4: a long time and I'll be able to speak the

95
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 4: language and I'll know it, because Venice is the most

96
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 4: extraordinary place. And actually lockdown has been rather good for Venice.

97
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 4: It well, I mean obviously the Venetians, well, the Venetians

98
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 4: will say two things to you. First of all, that

99
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 4: all the huge massive cruise boats cruise liners that turned up,

100
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 4: of course don't do that anymore, right, they're extremely delicious

101
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 4: to life there. Also that for once they're having to

102
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 4: look at Venice again and say, well, we can't just

103
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 4: have tourism, we can't just live on that, because these

104
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 4: things happen. And now the streets are theirs again. I mean,

105
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 4: it's that they have a very small residential population Venice now,

106
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 4: but this is the most incredible place. Have you been.

107
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 3: I have not spent any time there, and I don't

108
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: speak any Italian, but obviously my boyfriend's half a town

109
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: and so there's about a year yearly plea to go

110
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 3: to Italy and at some point we'll go there, but

111
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: who knows. Okay, but so you were there and.

112
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 4: You'll be the next meeting.

113
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not a bad idea. And you can get

114
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 3: you know, we did.

115
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 4: We got caught there.

116
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: And you've got a little sneak peek of what the

117
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 3: rest of the world was about to fall into. Yeah,

118
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: we did. It was very strange. And now how are

119
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 3: things in Scotland? Are people still going about their business

120
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 3: or are it seems like people are taking it seriously?

121
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 4: Oh no, No, Scotland's sort of more in lockdown still

122
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 4: because the first Minister of Scotland, Nicholas Durgeon, it takes

123
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 4: a different view to the Johnson government, right, yeah, and

124
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 4: so she is in charge and she's in charge of

125
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 4: the lockdown easings here and she's taking it slower than

126
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 4: they are.

127
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: Now you've been much lower cooped up. Do you do cook?

128
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: Do you cook? What are you doing with your days?

129
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 3: What's a normal lockdown day for Emma Thompson?

130
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 4: Like I get up at about half past seven or something,

131
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 4: you know, not early, and then I do a bit

132
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 4: of yoga, okay, because I'm getting old and if I

133
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 4: don't do that, my body just isn't fit. For purpose.

134
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 4: So and then I go and wake, or not wake,

135
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 4: but kind of get my mom up because we are

136
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 4: living in lockdown with my mum, who's eighty seven, oh

137
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 4: lovely guys, granny, and she's got Parkinson's. So there's quite

138
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 4: a lot of, you know, care stuff to do because

139
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 4: she's quite lame. She can't do things for herself, quite

140
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 4: a lot of things. So there's a lot of sock

141
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 4: work and yeah, and so that goes on till about

142
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 4: ten and then I'm liable to fling myself off upper

143
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 4: hill where I will go and just sweat and stare

144
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 4: at the sky. Sure, and then I come home and actually, no,

145
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 4: actually I take guy a cup of hot water with

146
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 4: lemon at ten o'clock. Oh, that's true. I wake my

147
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 4: daughter up first, otherwise she'd sleep till three. So and

148
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 4: actually Gia is doing all the cooking. Oh she is.

149
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 4: I am never ever going to let her leave. She's

150
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 4: such a good cook that whatever happens, I don't care

151
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 4: if she gets a job, I don't care. I don't care.

152
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 4: If you know, her whole life turns around and she

153
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 4: meets a guy and they decide to move to Italy

154
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 4: and be happy and open a restaurant. No, she's never

155
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 4: leaving here. She's going to be here for the rest

156
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 4: of her life, cooking for me, her father, and whoever

157
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 4: happens to be turn because she's it's great. It's like

158
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 4: living in a like a cross between a care home

159
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 4: and a gastropark.

160
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 3: Well, it's time to start laying the tracks to sabotage her,

161
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 3: clip her wings, find a way to keep her at home.

162
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 3: I think that that's the plan that you've got to do. Change,

163
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 3: just change, change, Just locker into the kitchen.

164
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 4: Look the old the old ways are the best. Yeah,

165
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 4: you want to keep on a chain.

166
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: Them, chain them in in the kitchen. Where did you

167
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 3: learn to cook? Was from her parents? Or was this

168
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 3: something she just figured out our own?

169
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:21,239
Speaker 4: God only knows. Look, we can cook a bit. We're

170
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 4: not bad, but she's a step beyond cooking. To me,

171
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 4: seems to be all about seasoning.

172
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: Oh, if you underseason I don't understand the the choice

173
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: to underseason anything. People who don't know their foods do this.

174
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 3: What's the goal there? What are we afraid of?

175
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 6: Taste?

176
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 4: Taste? Taste. Absolutely, she's very good at that, really really

177
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 4: good at that. So we are very very lucky, very

178
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 4: very lucky. And then in the afternoon we well, what

179
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 4: do we do. We indulge in a sport of like fencing.

180
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 4: There's a lot of bonfires go on because we've got

181
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: a bit of land, and upon the land grow the

182
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 4: ubiquitous and indeed not endemic rhododendron that needs to be destroyed.

183
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 4: It needs to be destroyed. I tell you, it needs

184
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 4: to be destroyed. So you have to cut it all

185
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 4: down and burn it. So there's a lot of bonfiring

186
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 4: going on, which is good fun. I feel I'm actually

187
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 4: basically an arsonist.

188
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: I feel like a Scottish bonfire has something, some very

189
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 3: witchy vibes about it. I feel like I'm saying some

190
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 3: kind of dancing witch shadows around a bonfire, and.

191
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 4: All bonfires have witchy vibes. They're very powerful things. Certainly,

192
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 4: you know when you get a flare with a bonfire

193
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 4: and this huge twenty foot sheet of flame goes up

194
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 4: in the air, it does something for you. I gotta

195
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 4: tell you, Bridge, And.

196
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: How long does a bonfire go for? I mean that all.

197
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it can be hours of burning and then it

198
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 4: can stop, and then the next day you can go

199
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 4: back and it's still hot, and you could cook a

200
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 4: potato in it?

201
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: Really, have you cooked a potato in one?

202
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 5: No?

203
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 3: Have you toastedt die?

204
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 4: I don't need to cook a potato. I've got I've

205
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 4: got my daughter chained to the cooker.

206
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 3: Emma, have you ever toasted a marshmallow over a fire?

207
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 4: I have? I have. It's jolly good.

208
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 3: Quarantine. Why aren't you doing that now?

209
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 4: Oh? Because if I eat sugar, I become the size

210
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 4: of a shire horse within ten minutes.

211
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 3: So well, then, what are you enjoying for a treat?

212
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 3: What's what's a treat for you? This is a martini? Martini? Sure,

213
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: that's it.

214
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 4: That's it. That's my treat.

215
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 3: Okay, that's treat enough.

216
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: It is it? Jolly wait, it is?

217
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 3: You've got nowhere to go? No one has anywhere to go,

218
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 3: absolutely nowhere now. In emailing some of our initial emails,

219
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: you mentioned there was a I think guy, or you

220
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 3: may have mentioned the idea to send me a sheep skull,

221
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: which you found. Where was the sheep skull found?

222
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 4: Well, we we do. Suddenly it sounds like we live

223
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 4: in some sort of coven. We live in No, No,

224
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 4: there's the sheep. There's a wall, of flame the sheep skull.

225
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 4: It's all sounding very odd. We keep sheep. We do

226
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 4: have a tiny flock of rare breed sheep called Ronald's. Yes, now,

227
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 4: Ronald's are small sheep and their foragers and they used

228
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 4: to live, yeah, tiny, and they used to they were,

229
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 4: as it were, the breed originated from the island of

230
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 4: Ronaldsy and the island of Ronalty is very far north.

231
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 4: And back in the day when rich people were incredibly

232
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 4: mean to the poor. Oh no, wait, that's like today. Okay. Anyway,

233
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 4: back in the day when rich people were behaving like

234
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 4: they always have done, the lairhead to fron obviously built

235
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 4: a big wall around the island and said that all

236
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 4: the poor islanders with their sheep weren't allowed to graze

237
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 4: their sheep on the island which belonged to him. So

238
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 4: the poor islanders had to graze their sheep on the beach.

239
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 4: So the sheep became foragers and extremely fond of seaweed. Yes, yes,

240
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 4: but of course there weren't many of them, and they're

241
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 4: one of the breeds on the British Isles that is

242
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 4: rather rare. And we've got a friend up the glen

243
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 4: who is an organic farmer, extraordinary woman who's run her

244
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 4: farm for forty years single handedly. She said, you know

245
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 4: what about we start a little flock of rare breed

246
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 4: sheep and then we'll keep a breed alive. And it's

247
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 4: a kind of contribution to well, the species extinction that

248
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 4: we're all finding it so hard to bear, so our

249
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 4: little sheep. Anyway, but you asked me about the skull,

250
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 4: which doesn't sound so great. Guys making a sign at me, Well,

251
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 4: say something. We found it. Well, we found it and

252
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 4: we found it cycling. So in fact, there's not one

253
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 4: of our sheeps, no, I know, because we've boiled down

254
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 4: the sheep that we know who died have been boiled.

255
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 4: Their skulls have been boiled, and in fact, my husband

256
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 4: has made one of them into a lampshade. What is

257
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 4: attempting to show you?

258
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 3: Now, let's see here, I'm looking. I'm looking for the

259
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 3: let's see. Is it towards Oh I see it. I

260
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 3: see it towards the top there with the horns.

261
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 4: That's it. That's the top. That is an old top

262
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 4: that that died. And Greg boiled the skull to get

263
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 4: all the kind of nastiness of and then put bulbs

264
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 4: in it and turned it into a lamp.

265
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 3: And are the bulbs in the ear?

266
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 4: I'm fully expecting him to do that to me when

267
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 4: I dropped.

268
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 3: We should all be so lucky to have a lamp

269
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 3: made our skulls. Every home should have at least one

270
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 3: family member's skull is a gorgeous lamps a lamp. I

271
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 3: want two light bulbs coming out of my eye sockets

272
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: and just kind of a I mean, I think, if

273
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 3: nothing else, this podcast has fully out of the Emma

274
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: Thompson family as sorcerer and sorceress. As you're out there,

275
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 3: you got the bond. Yeah, this is a very magical household.

276
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: Emma.

277
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 3: I don't want to derail the conversation. Of course we're

278
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 3: both here, but there is something I need to talk

279
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 3: to you about. I'm sitting here with my computer in

280
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 3: right behind it. There is an enormous bag. Now, I

281
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 3: think you know full well. When we became we came

282
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: in touch over, I said no gifts at gmail dot com.

283
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 3: The podcast is called I said no gifts. But then

284
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 3: there was some fanangling with Jim and then it became

285
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 3: my sister and your daughter Gaya. There was something happened

286
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 3: and a gift was purchased for me. Yes, Emma, I said,

287
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 3: no gifts, yet here we go. Do you want me

288
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 3: to open this gift?

289
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 4: I feel you what Okay, I think it's it's yeah,

290
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 4: you have to.

291
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 3: Here's the I mean. This bag is absolutely gigantic, has

292
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 3: some little an elephant and a rabbit and a bear,

293
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 3: and some sort of hot air balloon.

294
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 4: In many ways, yes, we do. We call it. We

295
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 4: call it a Helia balloon horse air balloon.

296
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And you've been in one?

297
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 4: I have once.

298
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: Actually, what was that experience?

299
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 4: It was loud because there's a guest thing that just goes.

300
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 3: You don't mind, So it doesn't sound relaxing at all.

301
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 4: Well, look, I've only been in one once. And if

302
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 4: you consider the fact that I probably could have chosen

303
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 4: to go in on again, I believe you have your answer.

304
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a once in a lifetime thing. I like

305
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 3: the idea of writing in a to be able to

306
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 3: ride in a little basket sounds nice, But well, what

307
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 3: got you in a hot air balloon? You just felt

308
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 3: like doing it?

309
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 4: It was oh blimey, it was such a long time ago.

310
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 4: It was about thirty god, wait, no more, thirty five

311
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 4: years ago. I was married to somebody else and we

312
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 4: were in We were on a safari, oh anyone I've

313
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 4: ever been on, actually, and one of the things that

314
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 4: was done was we were taken off over them in

315
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 4: Actually it was a Nassaimara in a hot air balloon,

316
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 4: which was which was remarkable, but as far as I

317
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 4: can recall, it was also quite cloudy. I think we

318
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 4: entered a cloud, enjoyed it, exited the cloud and landed

319
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 4: on the ground and had rather a nice breakfast. But

320
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 4: so maybe that's why I've never gone in one again. Right,

321
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 4: So you know it's just too risky. No, this is

322
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 4: a big old deal, blowing up this damn thing. You

323
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 4: get in it, you get up there, there's a cloud

324
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 4: and it's over. Yeah, just do it in LA That's

325
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 4: fine because there's always blue skies there.

326
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: I would love to go over Los Angeles in a

327
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 3: hot air balloon.

328
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 4: I'm going to say that it would be great, definitely,

329
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 4: with a large collection of cuddly toys.

330
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 3: Yes, immediately run into some police helicopter and that's the

331
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 3: end of me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, I'm going to

332
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 3: open this. It's very heavy and I'll say that when

333
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 3: Jim was wrapping this last night he said something like,

334
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 3: I don't know what's in this bag. He said, I

335
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 3: think I over ordered, so I have no idea what's

336
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 3: happening in this bag? Let's open it up?

337
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 4: Aw cool?

338
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 5: What?

339
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 3: Okay?

340
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: So?

341
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 3: Okay? Yeah, called snow snowballs, snowballs. It looks like some

342
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 3: sort of It's oh, how odd it's it's a marshmallow snack.

343
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 3: We've already talked about marshmallows. I'm telling people I know

344
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 3: I can, at least within twenty minutes tell the future.

345
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 3: This is incredible. So this is some and I obviously

346
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 3: there's more to come in this bag, but let's talk

347
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 3: about snowballs first. What's happening here?

348
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 4: Okay, So, as you know, I'm in Scotland, right Scotland.

349
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 4: Scottish people consume more sugar per head than all of

350
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 4: the people in Europe put together. And one of the

351
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 4: ways in which they consume sugar, the means by which

352
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 4: via which they consume this unspeakable amount of sugar is

353
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 4: through the ton of snowball, which was my father's favorite snack,

354
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 4: possibly contributing to his early death at the age of

355
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 4: fifty two. So I'm not recommending it anyway, it is

356
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 4: a large marshmallow, not a not a very dense marshmallow.

357
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 4: It's mellow rather than without the marsh and around the

358
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 4: mellow is a sort of coating of chocolate type style chocolate.

359
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm losing weight.

360
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 4: And then yeah, and then they're so good. They're so good.

361
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 4: A bit of toasted coconut flakes. Oh good, that's what

362
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 4: it is. And it's it's heaven. And actually I'm literally

363
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 4: celebrating as I'm describing it to you.

364
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 3: Are are there any of these in your house right now?

365
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 4: No, of course they're not. I told you about me

366
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 4: and sugar. I literally I eat one of those and

367
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 4: I'm just I can't get out of the door.

368
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 3: Guy is indicating that possibly she may have some hidden

369
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 3: in the house. This is good, she said.

370
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 4: They're like crap cocaine for me. I just can't be allowed.

371
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 3: This is this is literally, I mean, exactly up my alley.

372
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 3: This is I mean, should I eat one on podcasts?

373
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: Or should I? I feel like that's rude to eat

374
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 3: on podcasts. It's not without president. I have eaten other

375
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 3: snacks on this before, but I don't want to. I

376
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 3: know people don't want to hear my mouth on a

377
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 3: microphone chewing up a marshmallow. What do you think I

378
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 3: should do?

379
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 4: It's not much to them. I think you could risk it.

380
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: I eat one.

381
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 3: I mean, it's ten thirty in the morning. It seems

382
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 3: like the perfect time to be doing mellow. Okay, here

383
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 3: we go. I love that everyone else on this recording

384
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 3: is going to sit here and watch while I eat

385
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 3: a snowball. I'm going to try to. I'm gonna get

386
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 3: away from the microphone. I don't think people need to

387
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 3: hear my mouth chewing or uh, you know, oh my god.

388
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 4: But as you can see, it's a soft thing. Yeah,

389
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 4: don't yet, be careful exactly. Look it came apart in

390
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 4: his hands. Listeners, Yes, he's his fingers and it's going

391
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 4: down pretty well. I'd say this is come on. I mean,

392
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 4: it's good, isn't it. I'm gonna processed sugar.

393
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 7: This is the equivalent of mum watching pawn watching you

394
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 7: consume a snows snowballs.

395
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,719
Speaker 3: I'm going to start charging people for this so they

396
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 3: can watch me eat a marshmallow online. This is incredible.

397
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 3: This is absolutely something that is not of the earth.

398
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 3: This is this is exactly the sort of thing I

399
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 3: need to eat just from another realm created purely of

400
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 3: chemicals and sugar, and I love it.

401
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 4: It's sot we well, you know, it's a very old

402
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 4: Scottish firm, Tonics, and they make other things that you

403
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 4: may find in your bag. They are equally delicious. Yeah,

404
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 4: they are my If I need to eat something that

405
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 4: I know is not the wisest thing, I will always

406
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 4: always go for Tonics. No, and they do. They make trains,

407
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 4: little baby trains with Tonics and.

408
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 5: To say, yeah, you know, an actual train company, which

409
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 5: would be great.

410
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 4: I mean, Scottish people are pretty amazing like that. And

411
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 4: I don't think that anyone who did inventor train or

412
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 4: indeed electricity is all the Scottish did, ever went without Tomics.

413
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 3: It reminds me one of my favorite candies is called

414
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 3: a Scotch mallow. It sold at a candy store here

415
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 3: in the US called seas Like. It's like a marshmallow

416
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: and caramel in chocolate. Does that god, I mean, should

417
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: that be called the Scotch Does that qualify Scotch Marlow?

418
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 3: What do we think? Does that feel like a Scottish thing?

419
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 4: It sounds like they've taken the Scotch egg, the principle

420
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 4: of the Scotch egg is there's an egg inside a

421
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 4: big thick thing right of pork. But they've done it

422
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 4: the other way. So then so the caramel is like

423
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 4: the egg, right, and the mallows like the pool. It's

424
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 4: a Scotch like Scotch egg Scotch made that connection. I

425
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 4: need to have one right now? Could you get is

426
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 4: there anyway we can?

427
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 3: I feel like you need to have it.

428
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 4: Sounds sounds so I'll be in touch with jerky.

429
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 3: You've got to try them. They're just absolutely fantastic. And

430
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 3: an employee told me if you put it in the

431
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 3: microwave for five seconds, it's even I mean, I I

432
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 3: reveal a lot about my eating habits on this podcast

433
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 3: that are not normal, and I need to rain it

434
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 3: in a little bit. But I'm just going to keep

435
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 3: telling people that I'm microwaving chocolates for my own enjoyment. Whatever.

436
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 3: That's what you signed up for here.

437
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 4: You have to understand that in Scotland, it's normal. In Scotland,

438
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 4: they would take that thing and they would deep fry it.

439
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 3: That's what I need. No, absolutely, I've got a little

440
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 3: Scottish ancestry. I think that's it's coming through.

441
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 4: You've got red hair bridge, you've got Scottish ancestry.

442
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that you have this marshmallow thing is

443
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 3: coming through in a big way. The genetics.

444
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 4: Actually, you've got Celtic gens.

445
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 3: Right, and we all know the Celts loved a marshmallow.

446
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 3: They had those bonfires.

447
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 4: They were toasting the whole seventeenth century marshmallow wild Like, yeah, rightly.

448
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 3: Now you I've celebrated a birthday recently within quarantine, Is

449
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 3: that correct?

450
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 4: Yeah?

451
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 3: Did you for it? I feel like birthdays now. I mean,

452
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 3: I'm getting a lot of questions through the email about

453
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 3: like celebrating things in quarantine, and I haven't had any

454
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 3: celebrations myself. But did you do anything?

455
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 4: Yeah? Well, Guya cooked a beautiful meal. What do we have?

456
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 4: I can't even what's My brain's gone and so's ear.

457
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 4: Oh that's such a comfort. It's wonderful when the young

458
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 4: can't remember things. It's such just struggle to remember something.

459
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 4: It's fantastic. We just were here as we have been

460
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 4: for all this time. I can't remember how much time

461
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 4: it is. Now we're me, my mother and Guya and

462
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 4: my husband. So there's what's interesting about it is there's

463
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 4: three generations of women, right, so there's a twenty year old,

464
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 4: a sixty one year old, and an eighty eight year

465
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 4: old and.

466
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 3: Then one d.

467
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he spends most time outside, yeah, shaving sheep

468
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 4: and all that. So, yeah, that was interesting, wasn't it

469
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 4: very interesting? I can't remember what we had to eat.

470
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 7: You've got some very good presents. So in my head

471
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 7: it looks like Waco. It's just these sort of barns

472
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 7: and one of them, Dad has converted into a sort

473
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 7: of home bar basically, and he got mum a huge.

474
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 4: Fluorescent cocktails outside.

475
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 3: What does the sign say.

476
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 4: Well, you know one of the yes cocktails. One of

477
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 4: the things that I do love, and I do think

478
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 4: is a wonderful art form. The neon light.

479
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 3: Oh I love a neon light and a puddle.

480
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 4: Take me back to Oh my god, a neon light

481
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 4: in a puddle. I'd rather look at that than a

482
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 4: blooming clips. A neon light in a puddle is such

483
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 4: an image, is it not.

484
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 6: It's the most beautiful. Yes, we've got some sort of way.

485
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 6: I have a cocktail sign. I've got a cocktail sign.

486
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 6: It's pink, and it's in that classic kind of love

487
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 6: and I got that for my birthday from my old man.

488
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 3: Oh that's a terrific gift.

489
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 4: Wow, is very good.

490
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 3: You're still getting good gifts from your partner.

491
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 4: That's good. It's not bad after twenty five years.

492
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 3: Do you feel like you two do a good job

493
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 3: of giving each other gifts?

494
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 4: Actually, we're pretty good. He's just had a birthday as well,

495
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 4: and I gave him a portable winch.

496
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 3: Oh. Interesting. Oh and what is he doing with the

497
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 3: winch pulling things out the mud dragging shoes?

498
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 4: Yes, he's wenching things with it, left, right and center.

499
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 4: We fully, all of us expect to be winched. The

500
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 4: least opportunity is going to fling the bell end. It's

501
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 4: called Seriously, these are Canadians that built this thing. They're sensible.

502
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 4: They call it by the name that suits it. Because

503
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 4: he's wenching large well logs. But I mean they're like trees, right.

504
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 3: So is he pulling them out of the ground.

505
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, not out of the ground as it were, by

506
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 4: the root, but they having been chopped down, they're out

507
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 4: branches having been taken off. He then attaches a piece

508
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 4: of rope and the winch, which is not much larger

509
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 4: than my computer, is small.

510
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 3: Oh clever, simple machine.

511
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a simple machine, but if you've got enough

512
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 4: block and tackle, you can pull the most extraordinary, like

513
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 4: half a ton of woods the river. Incredible and so

514
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 4: he so he got that for his birthday and it's

515
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 4: it's really now the only thing he's ever loved.

516
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 7: I have four boxes of chocolate raisins spam.

517
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 3: Spam. Spam is like a good quarantine food.

518
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 4: Well, yes and no, depending on whether when you leave

519
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:29,959
Speaker 4: quarantine you wish to live or not.

520
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 3: Right right, But if you combined it with chocolate raisins,

521
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 3: I think you're fine.

522
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 4: You'd be fine.

523
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 3: Chocolate raisins. Yes, Okay, I'm diving back into the bag.

524
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 3: We've got to see what else is in there. It's

525
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 3: true five pound bag. And I will also say last

526
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 3: night Jim left this bag out, and I thought, before

527
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 3: I fell asleep, I should put that in the closet

528
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 3: and close the door, because who knows it's in there?

529
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,959
Speaker 3: The dog may get it. We would have woken up

530
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 3: to a dog having eaten probably seventy marshmallows. This would

531
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 3: have been I'm gonna I'm gonna revoke the dog. Would

532
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 3: let's face it, Yes, yeah, yes, she's been known to eat.

533
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 3: But let's keep diving here. So we're just gonna I'm

534
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 3: going to take out what's probably eighteen boxes of snowballs.

535
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,479
Speaker 3: So we'll just make a little wall out of these,

536
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 3: and then here's some tissue. There. Three boxes of snowballs,

537
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 3: four of snowballs, boxes of snow We've gone to the

538
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 3: sixth the box. This is the good thing is did

539
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 3: he not.

540
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 4: Get any tea cakes? You get any tea cakes?

541
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 3: Well, we have no idea. There's I mean, I'm counting.

542
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 4: If it's all snowballs, you're you're losing.

543
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 3: Out eight boxes of snowballs, nine boxes of snowballs. I'm

544
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 3: not exaggerating this.

545
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 4: He's just bought snowballs. He hasn't bought the Tonic's tea cake.

546
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 3: Well, let's just wait and see what happened. Because two

547
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 3: different boxes did arrive in the mail, and so I

548
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 3: assume one of them had another Here we go, ah,

549
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 3: very bot teacake. So he what he's done is he

550
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 3: ordered a single box of these teacakes, and then I

551
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 3: think at least ten boxes of chocolate covered marshals. I'm

552
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 3: not kidding this is I don't had this online order

553
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 3: even worked because this feels like this is a small box.

554
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 3: This feels like something that should have been ten.

555
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 4: I feel like I feel like what happened was Jim

556
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 4: ordered that, and then the dog came in and he

557
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 4: got distracted and he sat on the computer and accidentally

558
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 4: ordered eighty five boxes of something else, which you are

559
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 4: now saddled with. But the Tonic's Teacake, I'm going to

560
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 4: it's a whole other thing. Tell me about the teacakes. Okay,

561
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 4: the teacake is a different version of somewhat similar item. Right,

562
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 4: So the Talic's Teacake features for your for your listeners,

563
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 4: a little tiny Oreo sized, slight biscuit. It's a biscuit,

564
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 4: but it's not it's not very crunchy. It's kind of

565
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 4: a little bit soft. And on top of that, there

566
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 4: is a marshmallow. All right, and then the entirety of

567
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 4: those two items is en robed in chocolate. Oh well,

568
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 4: I'm going to I think you probably have something like

569
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 4: that in the States already. I feel like if you haven't,

570
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 4: we have a.

571
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 3: Lot of covered in chocolate here and.

572
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 4: You have a lot of mallow based arrangement.

573
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 3: I just love I'm gonna obviously has melted a little

574
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 3: bit in the mail and again obviously and it's crushed.

575
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 3: It's a little crush, but that's fine. I'm gonna, yeah,

576
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 3: I apologize for eating in front of you. I mean,

577
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 3: but again, this is my podcast, so not too much.

578
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, so do all. I'm going to take

579
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 4: my goodness deeply. Miss you see the difference. It's a

580
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 4: whole other thing.

581
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 3: Biting into this. I'm gonna swallow here. We have something

582
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: here called a pin wheel for listeners. We have which

583
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 3: I've loved since childhood. I remember going to a cabin,

584
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 3: my grandpa's cabin when I was about five, and I

585
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 3: got to choose the snack. I chose a pin wheel.

586
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 3: You have, really, I mean, this feels like some sort

587
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 3: of bizarre inception style subconscious dive into my brain. You've

588
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 3: found the marshmallows. You've sent the marshmallows. This is exactly

589
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 3: my alley. It's crazy to me.

590
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 4: That's very strange. So, I mean, and you're associating that

591
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 4: with a childhood experience and a childhood experience in the

592
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 4: countryside as well.

593
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 3: Right, So it's taken me back in time into the mountain.

594
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 3: I'm staring at the door deer. You've taken me on

595
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 3: an absolute ride here. It's psychotic. My question, why is

596
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 3: it called a tea cake. I don't feel like I

597
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 3: would eat this with tea.

598
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 4: We will eat anything with tea, as you know, the British,

599
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 4: not so much the Scottish actually, although I think they

600
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 4: like tea too. And you must remember that I am

601
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 4: from both cultures, so I am half Keelt and half

602
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 4: Anglo Saxon. It's been very different. We go back to heritage,

603
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 4: the combination to heritage, Yes, because I think it is

604
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 4: very interesting, very very interesting food country. You know, what

605
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 4: creates us, what's in our what makes us our dna.

606
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 4: You know, when you ask me about gifts and what

607
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 4: to send, it's interesting that I should have chosen, you know,

608
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 4: really what is essentially a sugary snack, but is in

609
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 4: fact a deeply meaningful bit of family history and to

610
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 4: do with sugar, right of course, which is a huge

611
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 4: element in Scotland and a huge element in our history.

612
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 4: I mean our slave trade, our slave trade or sugar.

613
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: You know.

614
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 4: So sugar is something that was never good for us

615
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 4: in the first place, and certainly the way it came

616
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 4: to us was horrific and horrendous and should never have happened.

617
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 4: But sugar is so so powerful. You know, that little

618
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 4: taste of sugar took you back to your granddad and

619
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 4: the woods and the Tonic's tea cake and the snowball

620
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 4: takes me back to my father. Wonder if those moments

621
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 4: of intense pleasure to do with these things are what

622
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 4: right us? You know, what created us?

623
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 3: Yes? Absolutely. And then on the other end of sugar,

624
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 3: I think, which is so interesting about human beings. I

625
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 3: think it's such an animal thing because sugar is also

626
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 3: essentially for us poison, and it feels very like to me.

627
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I'm very close to being a dog

628
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 3: because I will absolutely fill my body with sugar, which

629
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 3: I know is bad for me, but it tastes so

630
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 3: wonderful in my mouth and I can't stop eating this poison.

631
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 3: But it's because it's connected to all of these things.

632
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes it is.

633
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 3: I've had, you know, two marshmallows. It's ten fifty in

634
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 3: the morning and I'm high as a kite.

635
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, it is extraordinary.

636
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 3: I feel like it's time now for the game portion

637
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 3: of the podcast. Okay, I think I want to play

638
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 3: with you a game called Gift or a curse. Yes,

639
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 3: I need a number from you between one and ten.

640
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:54,720
Speaker 4: Three.

641
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 3: Okay, I have to go calculate something from a random

642
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 3: list of objects. For the next undetermined amount of time.

643
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 3: You can promote something, you can recommend something, you can

644
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 3: do whatever you want. This is now your podcast for

645
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 3: who knows how long I'll be right back.

646
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 4: Oh my god, people, what is he doing? I know

647
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 4: what he's doing. He's going away and he's going to

648
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 4: open all those snowballs and mesh them into one enormous snowball,

649
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 4: and then he's going to sit in it. At least

650
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,439
Speaker 4: that's what I do. So people here, we all are

651
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 4: in the middle of this strange time. And if you

652
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 4: are feeling in a hole, plant something in it, into

653
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 4: the darkness. Plant all the little seeds, and in a

654
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 4: couple of years time, when we come out of this,

655
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 4: which we will, because this has all happened before, it

656
00:38:54,920 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 4: is unquestionable that it's all happened before, things will be different.

657
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 4: So I think in your whole one of the seeds

658
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 4: should be the question, how do I want it to

659
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 4: be different?

660
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 3: What a beautiful use of that time. I mean, you

661
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 3: know I had had things calculated, but I was not

662
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 3: going to cut that off. What a wonderful look, bit

663
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 3: of time filling and so valuable for everybody. But Emma,

664
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 3: unfortunately we're moving on because we're going to play this

665
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 3: game and I need your concentration. Gift, I'm going to

666
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,919
Speaker 3: name three things. You have to tell me whether they're

667
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 3: a gift or a curse and why? Okay, first thing,

668
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 3: romance gift or a curse?

669
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 4: Oh both?

670
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 3: Why both?

671
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 4: Because romance is so appealing, so beautiful, so irresistible, so

672
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 4: invented by the French Jubidals in the fourteenth century, and

673
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 4: so not useful because it creates false expectations. And then

674
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 4: when it goes wrong, everyone doesn't understand why, and everyone says, well,

675
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 4: why don't I have a happy ending? Why is this

676
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 4: romantic story ending in this way? Because nobody's said at

677
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 4: the same time, you are going to be disappointed no

678
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 4: matter what, no matter what, even if you marry this

679
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 4: person and it's marvelous and it all turns out the

680
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 4: way you wanted it and you have children and a

681
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 4: nice house, you will still be disappointed. So please, everyone

682
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 4: get a grip. That's why. Wow, they're both, It's both.

683
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 3: I love that answer. You've got my back against the

684
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 3: wall here. I can't tell you if you're right or wrong.

685
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 3: You're really riding the fence, which is unfair to me

686
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 3: as a host. But I'm going I don't.

687
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 4: Think I'm riding the fence. I think it's fair enough

688
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 4: to say that it is both.

689
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 3: Surely I'm going to give this to you, Emma, but

690
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 3: only because it was.

691
00:40:58,760 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 4: It was.

692
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 3: I made some good points here. I can argue too much.

693
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 3: Romance is both a gift and a curse. Expectations we'll

694
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 3: get you in the end. So we're going to move on.

695
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: We're going to say you're one for one, very well played.

696
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 3: Let's see if you can handle number two. Vacuuming gift

697
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 3: or a curse for me?

698
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 4: God, I so want to say both again. I okay,

699
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 4: it's a gift. As my daughter and husband will tell you,

700
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 4: I have a slight obsession with vacuum cleaners. I have,

701
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 4: I do. I have a lot of vacuum cleaners, and

702
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 4: actually I'm literally looking at one now that that vacuums

703
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 4: this floor and basically takes If you vacuumed yourself with it,

704
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 4: it would just take your skin off. It's a powerful machine.

705
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 3: This is a vacuum.

706
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,720
Speaker 4: I don't even know how the carpet survived. Is seriously,

707
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 4: it's a great machine, and it's particular for this room.

708
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 4: In my mother's place, I have something that is it's

709
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,720
Speaker 4: like a sort of it's the ballerina of a vacuum cleaner.

710
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 4: It's like the it's like the Margo Front. It's just

711
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 4: it's the Audrey Headburn of the vacuum. You lift it,

712
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 4: you lift it gently, gently, ever so gently off. It's

713
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 4: an electrical charger and it will vacuum a large space

714
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 4: and then you have to immediately empty it out otherwise

715
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 4: it has a fit and won't work on you. And

716
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 4: I love that vacuum pletic. Then down down in my house,

717
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 4: I have another vacuum cleaner which is like it's got

718
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 4: a long kind of trunk thing and you can get

719
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 4: in under beds. So vacuuming is something that I believe

720
00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 4: in passionately. And that lockdown and the amount of crumbs.

721
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 3: The crumb you've got marshmallow.

722
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 4: Cru crumbs, stuff that the creation of crumb in lockdown

723
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 4: is so incessant, So so vacuuming to me here at

724
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 4: the moment, is a boon and a blessing and I

725
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 4: won't hear a word set against it.

726
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 3: Do you hear me, Emma, I'm going to just tell

727
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 3: you right off the bat, I thought the vacuuming was

728
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 3: going to get you. I am fully on board with

729
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 3: vacuuming being a gift. I love to vacuum. It's one

730
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 3: of the easiest house to hold chores. You're kind a

731
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 3: little machine. It's doing its job. Maybe you've got some

732
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 3: music on, or you have the nice hum of the vacuum.

733
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 3: You know you're making progress. The crumbs are getting sucked up,

734
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 3: the hair is getting sucked up.

735
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 4: It looks different when you finished, whereas if you change

736
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 4: the bed it does a little different.

737
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 3: No, with vacuuming, you're saying real progress as you move along.

738
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,959
Speaker 3: It's like mowing the lawn in the house. It's fantastic.

739
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 4: Exactly, Yeah, totally.

740
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 3: Two for two. This is insane. I'm going to tell

741
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 3: you I came into this game thinking I'm going to

742
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 3: just knock out him. She's just going to fail, fall

743
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 3: on her face, humiliate herself. But so far, so good.

744
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 3: Let's see if number three gift or a curse guitar solos?

745
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 4: Oh well, Hendrix, one word, Hendrix.

746
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 3: You're saying gift, well, a gift.

747
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 4: A gift to the world forever in a day.

748
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 3: I want to disagree. I think this is this is

749
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 3: I said, no gifts, You've made history. I don't know

750
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 3: that anyone's ever gotten three out of three here, and

751
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 3: I was really hoping to just nail you. It didn't

752
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,479
Speaker 3: work out as planned. Guitar solos are a gift, even

753
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 3: when they're bad. At least it's a little break from

754
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 3: the song, adds a little texture, or or it shows

755
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 3: you that you're listening to a bad artist playing an

756
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,439
Speaker 3: air guitar solo. Maybe a curse, but it's also fun

757
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 3: to do. I love a guitar solo if you, I

758
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,720
Speaker 3: will say, an improvised guitar solo can get a little long.

759
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,399
Speaker 4: That said, it depends yes, yes, and it depends, of course,

760
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 4: upon the.

761
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 3: Right I mean.

762
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 4: And as well, a drum solo can weigh you down.

763
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 3: A drum solo, when executed well, is a wonderful surprise

764
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 3: because you think I'm gonna be bored, but then you're

765
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 3: You're thrilled, You're thrilled. I guess, I guess what we're

766
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 3: talking about is people just need to be good at

767
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:35,720
Speaker 3: what they're doing.

768
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 4: If you're gonna do what they're doing, it's a thrill.

769
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 4: It's such a thrill to see anybody doing.

770
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 3: And we're doing something well right, and we're taking a

771
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 3: little break from the singing. We're taking a little break.

772
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 3: We're gonna get the solo in there. Emma, congratulations on

773
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 3: three out of three gift or a curse. I mean,

774
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 3: I will say the first one you picked gift and curse.

775
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 3: But it worked in such a way that I can't

776
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 3: deny it. Wow, we've reached the final part of the podcast.

777
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 3: I said no questions. People, of course, are writing into

778
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,959
Speaker 3: I Said No gifts at gmail dot com. The list

779
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 3: of questions has gotten a little out of control because

780
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 3: we recorded so many episodes in advance. We've got I mean,

781
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 3: my apologies if I never get to some of these

782
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 3: people's questions, but we're gonna do what we can. Would

783
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 3: you mind helping me Patterson questions here?

784
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 4: I'm so so happy too.

785
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 3: All right, let me read the first one here, Heybridger

786
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 3: and guest. My ex husband has a birthday coming up.

787
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,760
Speaker 3: I don't like him and am unmotivated to make an effort,

788
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 3: but he is the father of my child and always

789
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 3: gets me gifts from my birthday. This is very complicated.

790
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 3: I have given him a plethora of gifts in the past.

791
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 3: What would you do? Love the podcast? Courtney from Virginia,

792
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 3: So we know she's a good egg. First of all,

793
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,280
Speaker 3: she's complimenting the podcast, so thank you for that, Emma.

794
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 3: This situation feels why are these two people who don't

795
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 3: like each other giving each other gifts? That's my first question. Yeah,

796
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 3: I think that's the first question.

797
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 4: But Colney from rich you're a jolly decent, decent person

798
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 4: to even think about it. And what you do is

799
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 4: you shamelessly use your children. You give the gift, you say,

800
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 4: you help your child to make the gift, and the

801
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 4: child says, and this is from mummy. And it could

802
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 4: be anything. It could be literally could be a some tach, it.

803
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,720
Speaker 3: Could be any pole sticks taped together.

804
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 4: It could be taped together, and you don't have to

805
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 4: worry about it. And you say to it makes something

806
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 4: for mummy to give to Daddy, and you know it's

807
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 4: the ultimate go between.

808
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 3: That's that's my advice. On some level of beautiful mind game.

809
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and short results in plenty of therapy bills later.

810
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 3: On, of course, but you know, we're all headed an

811
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 3: investment in.

812
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 4: The therapeutic industry, and I think that's.

813
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 3: All makee I mean, my other suggestion, you give this

814
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 3: person a gift card to a restaurant that he never

815
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 3: wanted to go to in the first place. So then

816
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 3: you're really sticking it to him. It's still a gift.

817
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 3: You can't say no. He has to graciously accept. But

818
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 3: now I feel like this is a good opportunity to

819
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 3: get back at this terrible ex take.

820
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you train yeah, or you say to the child,

821
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 4: here's some watercress seeds. Daddy would love it if you

822
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 4: just sow the watercress seeds into his Chinese silk carpet

823
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 4: and water them. He will love that because when that

824
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 4: starts growing, you'll be able to stay to him. This

825
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 4: is a gift from Mummy.

826
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 3: You will never get rid of. He yeah again, And.

827
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 4: Now your Chinese silk carpet is ruined because there's a

828
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 4: lawn growing in it.

829
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 3: That's what you get, Daniel. All right, let's move on.

830
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 3: Let's do one more. You know, I have thirty pages

831
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 3: of questions. The least I can do is answer one

832
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 3: more question on this podcast with the Lovely Emma Thompson

833
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 3: and your The advice so far has been excellent. This

834
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 3: one is just says Heybridger, So my apology. They're not

835
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 3: addressing you here, but that's fine. I have a friend

836
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 3: who is getting married during the quarantine. They'll be filming

837
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 3: the wedding and then the reception will be next year

838
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 3: whenever this ends. I'm a bridesmaid, and since she hasn't

839
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 3: had any wedding showers, I'd like to give them a

840
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 3: nice gift before the wedding. Recommendations. That's from Hannah Walker.

841
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 3: She says love who knows if she means it. So

842
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 3: her friend's getting married now they're going to have a

843
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 3: thing and the future things get very confusing.

844
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 4: You know, it's got to be all gifts now need

845
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 4: to be about promises, don't they And they need to

846
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 4: be about experience, and they need to be the opposite

847
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 4: of consumption. I love what I've found really really disturbing

848
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 4: when everyone says we've got to get back to normal. Actually,

849
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 4: there are certain forms of normal we really have to avoid,

850
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:57,439
Speaker 4: and one of those is over consumption. Yes, because it's

851
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 4: become rapacious and grazy and it's ultimately unsustainable, so to Hannah,

852
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 4: I would say, you know, make your gift like a voucher,

853
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 4: personal voucher that says we're going to have an experience

854
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 4: together that's going to be different and special, and you've

855
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 4: got plenty of time to think about it, and it's

856
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 4: not going to be about things, and it's never ever,

857
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 4: ever going to be about things, right anymore, Let's not

858
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 4: do that anymore. Let's make it about what we have

859
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 4: in our minds and what we have in our memories,

860
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 4: and everything that we can we can recycle in our

861
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 4: own memories and go back to on our own memories

862
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 4: and enjoy again in our own memories. There are such

863
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 4: things as recyclable gifts, and they are memories absolutely.

864
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 3: I mean, you are saying this to a man who's

865
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 3: sitting in front of about fifty boxes of chocolate marshmallows.

866
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 3: So it's true.

867
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 4: Obviously it doesn't apply to me because I'm completely picusis

868
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 4: all these.

869
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:05,760
Speaker 6: Things always by saying it's easy to say these things.

870
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, a box of a box of

871
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 4: Top of Ton teacakes isn't going to last you very long.

872
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 3: That's true. I'm going to be sick to my stomach, and.

873
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 4: Then you can use them to light your first really

874
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 4: big bonfire.

875
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 3: I go out on the patio, catch the apartment building

876
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 3: on fire. I think we've got something new to worry about.

877
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 3: It takes your mind off of things for a minute.

878
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely no, But I do think I agree with this.

879
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 3: Give them a little you know, like in any other

880
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 3: situation pre quarantine, giving that somebody a coupon for a

881
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 3: future thing always just feels like you didn't do anything.

882
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 3: But right now it feels like a real thing. A

883
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 3: year from now, we're going to do this. We're going

884
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 3: to I don't know, we're gonna go to the beach

885
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 3: and we're going to sit next to each other and

886
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 3: we're going to just live our lives. I think an

887
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 3: experience is wonderful. Don't give them something. Don't give them

888
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 3: a plastic kitchen appliance. That's the last thing they're going

889
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 3: to need. Emma. We're just going to answer those two questions.

890
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 3: I feel like we've been more than generous with the advice.

891
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,280
Speaker 3: If people want more, they can come bang at my door.

892
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 3: They can come bang at your rowing back.

893
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 6: Right.

894
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 3: It's been so lovely having you here. It's just wonderful

895
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 3: to connect with somebody. Six six to eight hours in

896
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 3: the future. It feels terrific. And thank you for coming on,

897
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:28,320
Speaker 3: I said, no gifts.

898
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 4: Oh, thank you Bridgard for inviting me via my wonderful daughter,

Speaker 3: Oh, it makes me very happy, and I can't wait

904
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,520
