27
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,639

Speaker 2: It's such a good belive how it sucks me in yeah,

29
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: but see Loveland, I feel like it has that same innocence,

30
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: Like once you get past the first bit we see

31
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: them in bathers, because it's always a bit depressing. Usually

32
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 2: you're eating in front of the TV, yeah, and you're

33
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: seeing them were bathers. But once that drops, just to

34
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: get rid of you out.

35
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got clothes on and you feel like I

36
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: can get the faces out and then it's just all

37
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: about the Yeah. Their relationships are so interesting and it's

38
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: that real innocent like you know, they're in love for

39
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: the first time almost, so they're devastation. You remember when

40
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: you're first in love and you think it's the end

41
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: of the world and you're going to move on, and

42
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: it's just all those yeah, insecurities come out. Even though

43
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: they're gorgeous looking, they've all been you know, cheated on

44
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: or her.

45
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, many people. So if the show is a guilty pleasure.

46
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 4: And I've had five days off work sick and I

47
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 4: was watching. Then this thing happened. My wife got sick too,

48
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: and she was at home and I felt watching it.

49
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 4: You have COVID Okay, they call it rhinovirus, but my

50
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 4: wife always all of a sudden at home as well.

51
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,320

57
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,520

92
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: actually I'm going to go as frozen because kids never

93
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: know who I am. So I thought, yeah, I goes

94
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: frozen because I don't think they're watching Love Island, right.

95
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,960

00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 4: letting Little mislet it go exactly.

97
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,640

00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: but that'll be lovely. And I just think it's important

99
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: to you know, give back everyone. You know, these people

100
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: and families are struggling so much. It doesn't cut costs

101
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: much just to make a difference, even if you can

102
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: buy like a night for them to stay near their children.

103
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: And yeah, yeah, so it'll be yeah, also lots of

104
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: fun and hopefully people donate lots of money.

105
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: And the think about this is this is one of

106
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 4: those charities where a lot of great Westerns Adam Gilchris

107
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 4: is one of those people who have been really heavily

108
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 4: involved over the years and helping buy so much money

109
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 4: that makes such a difference to the families as well

110
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: as this it does.

111
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, just something so little from one person can mean

112
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: so much.

113
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,280

118
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,919

00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're real passionate about it.

121
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: But I'm just it's like, you know, a mystery to

122
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: me how people can walk in still and shoes and

123
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: you said, oh no, this has got a platform front,

124
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: so it's practically flash it is. I mean, I just

125
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: look like I'm upper step, you know. Like so if

126
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: the fronts kind of.

127
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: Like got a platform and the back, then that's more level,

128
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 2: you know. But when you're doing like the full you know, yeah,

129
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: balls on the floorball yeah, and then yeah, the heels up,

130
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: that's hard.

131
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: I'd have to dislocate my ankle, I think to be

132
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: able to to be able to do it.

133
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: Oh, it's got an ankle strap too. You'll be fine. Okay,

134
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 2: do you want to give him a tribal?

135
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind.

136
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 2: Okay, he'll do it.

137
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, And a night like the logis how uncomfortable unless

138
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 4: you're a bloke in a suit.

139
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: It is tough. I've got to be honest because I

140
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: take my boobs as well, because they're real and they

141
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: go everywhere, so take them to my back. And then

142
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: you've got like tape underneath, Like, yeah, I ended up

143
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: looking naked, but you see underneath neath it's just taped.

144
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 3: More than a football.

145
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then those shoes they never come for you either.

146
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: Next year, why don't you wear a suit and flats

147
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,560

151
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: If not now, as you know, we're all about everything

152
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,479

Speaker 2: you seen them? Apparently you can put it like flats

155
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: and then you pop a heel on. I don't know

156
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: if I found it on Dennis direct or something.

157
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:41,800
