Aha, welcome back to the EMO
Dojo. I am Johnny emotions and this
2
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:14.830
is signal jams. So today I
thought it would be fun to bring you
3
00:00:15.150 --> 00:00:21.350
and Gary along on a quick trip
over to north Wales. I don't know
4
00:00:21.429 --> 00:00:25.699
anything about North Wales. I didn't
until we got there and we learned about
5
00:00:25.699 --> 00:00:30.859
it from a nice lady named Kim. Up to that point I just thought
6
00:00:30.859 --> 00:00:33.939
it was part of like England or
something, a state in England. Now
7
00:00:34.100 --> 00:00:39.369
it's a totally different country. The
native language is Welsh, which sounds like
8
00:00:39.409 --> 00:00:44.369
a mixture between Hebrew and Mandarin Chinese. It's wild. I'll tell you the
9
00:00:44.450 --> 00:00:49.170
name of her town, but it's
the longest name of a town in Europe
10
00:00:49.170 --> 00:00:53.079
and I can't pronounce it. So
anyway, let's have some fun. Let's
11
00:00:53.119 --> 00:01:00.719
drop into North Wales and visit with
Kim. You live in a town.
12
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:06.109
It's busy. It's not busy.
I mean like even the biggest town around
13
00:01:06.189 --> 00:01:11.590
where I live is pretty quiet and
pretty hilly, mountainy kind of thing.
14
00:01:11.829 --> 00:01:15.709
Is No one near US business,
say like the city of Liverpool would be
15
00:01:15.909 --> 00:01:19.900
or something like that. That sounds
pretty so how tall are the tallest buildings
16
00:01:19.939 --> 00:01:26.540
in your town? Probably my house
and that's not very tall. So it's
17
00:01:26.579 --> 00:01:29.180
like a two story town maybe,
like there might be a bank or a
18
00:01:29.219 --> 00:01:32.500
shop down in the busy section that
has two stories, but is generally a
19
00:01:32.579 --> 00:01:37.290
kind of a low you can see
the tree tops. Yeah, absolutely.
20
00:01:37.370 --> 00:01:40.250
I mean like, well, I'm
talking to you guys now, I'm looking
21
00:01:40.250 --> 00:01:46.170
at the trees and yeah, I'd
say it's you know, I also think
22
00:01:46.250 --> 00:01:49.400
that it's a really small place,
but then some people say it's not as
23
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.439
small as you think is. I'm
like, well, yeah, it kind
24
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.400
of days. You know, it's
quite tiny compared toi and especially from like
25
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.159
the US or you know, it's
no amounts of high scale compared to the
26
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:05.829
US, for example. So yeah, you know, we've got banks,
27
00:02:05.909 --> 00:02:08.509
we've got to sort of Prima.
I mean that's pretty awesome. So,
28
00:02:09.030 --> 00:02:14.710
you know, it's buddy, with
the way you're describing your hometown and your
29
00:02:14.870 --> 00:02:19.099
lovely accent, it's kind of pulls
me off into a dreamland. I can
30
00:02:19.180 --> 00:02:23.419
picture it all very much. So
well, this is working out. My
31
00:02:23.500 --> 00:02:25.699
idea is working. This is great. Yeah, it's like, I mean
32
00:02:25.819 --> 00:02:30.009
it's a beautiful, absolutely sudden place
to live. Genuinely, you know,
33
00:02:31.050 --> 00:02:36.169
if you like this kind of thing. I mean if you like beaches without
34
00:02:36.210 --> 00:02:42.610
the sun, that's pretty cool,
you know. I mean it's truly a
35
00:02:42.770 --> 00:02:46.719
sudden place. I mean my partner
moved from a city to come and see
36
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.520
me on holiday and he never left, I want, like eight years ago.
37
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.039
So I mean it's got to be
something about the place, not just
38
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.439
me. Right. Oh yeah,
for sure, like I've done the same
39
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.870
thing. I've lived in cities in
a it to the outskirts of, you
40
00:02:59.990 --> 00:03:02.789
know, the the country basically.
And Yeah, there's a lot of a
41
00:03:02.830 --> 00:03:07.789
lure it, especially if you're just
if you're over the whole rush. That's
42
00:03:07.229 --> 00:03:14.979
the high are you under a fiftyzero
population? Oh, that is a good
43
00:03:15.099 --> 00:03:17.580
question. Do you want to googling
on track, because I don't know the
44
00:03:17.659 --> 00:03:23.219
answer. So curious to see how
many people live we are in your town.
45
00:03:23.659 --> 00:03:27.020
What kind of shops do you have? Do you have any like national
46
00:03:27.060 --> 00:03:30.169
chain groceries, you know, restaurants
and things like that, or is it
47
00:03:30.289 --> 00:03:37.009
mostly local mom and pop shops?
And it is an we're getting more and
48
00:03:37.129 --> 00:03:39.610
more chains over. I mean like
you've got McDonald's, you know, you've
49
00:03:39.689 --> 00:03:47.199
got KFC, then you've gone.
Mr Yeah, but you have got a
50
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:53.199
really good fast share of homemade and
businesses, you know, and homemade food
51
00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:01.150
places like the popes, you know, restaurants which are incredible. But there's
52
00:04:01.469 --> 00:04:05.750
like, for example, we I
want place called the Laron Bilans. It's
53
00:04:05.789 --> 00:04:12.780
amazing. So now he gone from
a little home based little shop to own
54
00:04:12.860 --> 00:04:16.060
in like for all over north Wales. So that's like yeah, so that
55
00:04:16.139 --> 00:04:18.939
I might be fine now actually,
but if you know, since a lot,
56
00:04:18.980 --> 00:04:24.490
it's just incredible. But yeah,
we do have like little I'll be
57
00:04:24.730 --> 00:04:28.250
things like that as well. which
what sort of wood does Dylan have?
58
00:04:28.930 --> 00:04:31.889
It's a restaurant for shop. Yeah, it's a restaurant. It's all about
59
00:04:32.050 --> 00:04:36.730
sea food. I mean, for
example, first friend is a sea food
60
00:04:36.769 --> 00:04:43.759
eat it. Yeah, it is
incredible. Okay, and I'm you know,
61
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.920
I'm not affiliated with him on nothing. I don't even actually know the
62
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.319
guy. I know the people.
It's like the place and it's the foolish.
63
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:54.350
Is Incredible. It's all seafood and
it's all caught by the sea where
64
00:04:54.389 --> 00:04:58.829
I live, which is even more
incredible. Yeah, that's so. I
65
00:04:58.910 --> 00:05:02.430
get a question for you, Kim. I have heard time and time again
66
00:05:02.550 --> 00:05:10.220
that British food is very bland.
What makes it very bland. Oh,
67
00:05:11.699 --> 00:05:15.819
do you know? I I love
my food, like I love trying different
68
00:05:15.860 --> 00:05:19.139
foods and stuff, so I will
try anything about. When people say it's
69
00:05:19.220 --> 00:05:26.250
bland, I know maybe they're just
thinking of one type of food. I've
70
00:05:26.410 --> 00:05:29.649
know, like everybody seems to say, like a British thing is fish and
71
00:05:29.689 --> 00:05:32.050
chips, which it is, but
I mean like the fish and chip,
72
00:05:32.529 --> 00:05:38.079
fish and chips are absolutely gorgeous.
Yeah, depending all. Yeah, go
73
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:43.480
you know, an what fa?
So it does. Some people just say,
74
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.759
oh, Burger and chips, but
again, that Burger depends on I
75
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.350
love Wah. Yeah, and so
do I. I mean it was just
76
00:05:49.870 --> 00:05:53.910
last week that me, I'm a
party, went out there and we've got
77
00:05:53.990 --> 00:05:58.509
white based fish, which it and
it was that. It was so nice.
78
00:05:59.230 --> 00:06:01.949
It was incredible. So and yeah, it's make it planned. I
79
00:06:02.029 --> 00:06:04.699
don't know. Maybe they don't use
spices, I guess. I don't know.
80
00:06:05.060 --> 00:06:09.740
It sounds like it's probably one of
those stereotypes we grew up with,
81
00:06:09.899 --> 00:06:14.579
like airplane food, old old folks
home food, British food. They you
82
00:06:14.620 --> 00:06:16.220
know in America they say that,
but I mean, yeah, it's probably
83
00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:21.009
just a lack of salt spices.
Yeah, I guess so, and maybe
84
00:06:21.170 --> 00:06:26.529
it's the lack of knowledge of what
food to where to go, as if
85
00:06:26.689 --> 00:06:30.370
to say as well, and you're
young too, so you grew up with
86
00:06:30.529 --> 00:06:33.399
the Internet. So once the Internet
happened, all food exploded everywhere. I
87
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:38.120
mean everywhere. Anybody had the Internet. You could now start making what you
88
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:42.040
wanted to. But you're in a
particularly nice spot for fresh seafood. So
89
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.879
that's pretty amazing. Absolutely. I
my Granddad was a shaft as well,
90
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.430
so I was like, I was
really fortunate growing up, but you know
91
00:06:48.629 --> 00:06:53.069
you, I always got to taste
different foods from different places. Yeah,
92
00:06:53.110 --> 00:06:55.790
it was incredible. Do you hang
out at the beach? Is Your town
93
00:06:55.829 --> 00:07:00.110
close enough to drive to the beach
on the weekend? It is. Is
94
00:07:00.470 --> 00:07:03.939
Close enough to walk to actually three
of them? Yeah, yes, and
95
00:07:04.699 --> 00:07:10.379
I am beach is my safe space
or on top of a mountain, and
96
00:07:11.540 --> 00:07:15.370
I mean most of my facebook tick
topic such as full of beaches and just
97
00:07:15.689 --> 00:07:20.329
bore an old photos. But so
incredible at the same time. And I
98
00:07:20.490 --> 00:07:24.930
love the beach. Yeah, genuinely. I'm even on a rainy so we
99
00:07:24.970 --> 00:07:28.050
day as well. I Love Beach. Yeah, in California there are,
100
00:07:28.529 --> 00:07:30.720
once you get up above San Francisco, a lot of the beaches are similar
101
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.199
to those type of beaches you have. They're mostly fogged in, lots of
102
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:39.079
Seagulls, lots of you know,
just muted tones. It's not bikinis and
103
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:43.680
palm trees by any means, but
they're really romantic and calming. Yeah,
104
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.750
absolutely, and, like said,
yeah, it's perfect and it's somewhere I
105
00:07:46.870 --> 00:07:51.310
go on my own as well to
get some inspiration for work, or it's
106
00:07:51.350 --> 00:07:55.550
also a place that I go and
take my family on a nice day.
107
00:07:55.750 --> 00:08:00.100
And Yeah, it's incredible. So
what do you do for work in town?
108
00:08:00.139 --> 00:08:03.139
Do you commute out to a city
and then drive back to home,
109
00:08:03.220 --> 00:08:05.819
or do you tell a commute?
How do you work? I don't.
110
00:08:07.139 --> 00:08:13.930
I actually work from home. I'm
social tic ad manager and I specifically specialize
111
00:08:13.050 --> 00:08:18.370
in building communities online. Yeah,
so that's pretty awesome. However, I
112
00:08:18.490 --> 00:08:24.050
have worked up until when I had
my daughter, in schools and in crushes.
113
00:08:24.490 --> 00:08:31.600
So do you when you do community
building online, is it for corporations
114
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:39.559
or nonprofits? Nice, for Coll
only and Shipponese that also work a lot
115
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:45.070
online, and I did work with
break and water businesses who wanted to pill
116
00:08:45.110 --> 00:08:50.269
it online. When the lockdown and
came into play and but it is mainly
117
00:08:50.429 --> 00:08:56.700
speakers, leader's authors who have an
online community. Got It. That's really
118
00:08:56.740 --> 00:08:58.700
cool. Ye, to do a
lot of that work in Los Angeles for
119
00:08:58.940 --> 00:09:05.340
Software Company that is all about community
building. So I know lots of makeing.
120
00:09:05.700 --> 00:09:07.980
Yeah, I linkedin. So here's
weird. Right. I'm currently a
121
00:09:09.059 --> 00:09:11.649
work in the cannabis bissiness in America. This particular state I live in,
122
00:09:11.769 --> 00:09:16.850
cannabis is legal, so distribute cannabis. Well, before that, I have
123
00:09:18.090 --> 00:09:22.570
like the hugest private investigator group on
Linkedin because I peripherally got involved with that
124
00:09:22.809 --> 00:09:24.639
and I just said, well,
we need a group, we need to
125
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.720
build a community. So I have
that. And then I also run the
126
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.759
biggest independent signmaker group on Linkedin because
I'm like Oh, yeah, good,
127
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.600
I've just been into the idea of
community. Anytime you have a project,
128
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.870
you need like a fan base,
let's call it right, absolutely able or
129
00:09:41.909 --> 00:09:45.789
funally. Yeah, it's like speakers
like you work with, they're finally catching
130
00:09:45.870 --> 00:09:48.029
on like, Oh, I need
a fan base, I need a community.
131
00:09:48.110 --> 00:09:50.149
So I think community is just a
new kind of a two thousand and
132
00:09:50.190 --> 00:09:54.659
fifteen word for fan club. But
I love build. Yeah, I know
133
00:09:54.820 --> 00:09:58.740
you're all right, yeah, you
know, I mean like it's nothing more
134
00:09:58.860 --> 00:10:03.179
powerful than that, you know,
a support, supported child on again,
135
00:10:03.299 --> 00:10:05.980
like a fun base. Yeah,
no, tribe is the right word,
136
00:10:05.980 --> 00:10:09.809
I think, because that's the really
primal urge for all of us is to
137
00:10:09.889 --> 00:10:13.769
belong, and to belong to something
that means something outside of ourselves is really
138
00:10:13.769 --> 00:10:16.169
fun. So that's that's really cool
work. Absolutely. I don't want to
139
00:10:16.289 --> 00:10:20.330
don't want to digress too far away
from where you live, but I'm always
140
00:10:20.370 --> 00:10:24.000
fascinated about the work people, that
people do, because after and where that,
141
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:28.840
you're able to do it from wherever, I guess, and that's absolutely
142
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:33.000
yeah. Now I'm just saying I
mainly do work. I say I work
143
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.549
from home. By work mainly on
the beach, to on top of about
144
00:10:35.629 --> 00:10:39.389
a legit, on top of a
mountain, and peopleully come. There you
145
00:10:39.429 --> 00:10:46.590
go. And I just found I've
just found out how many people live in
146
00:10:46.669 --> 00:10:50.379
my little town and that is two
thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine people.
147
00:10:50.580 --> 00:10:54.779
Two thousand, not even two thousand
people. Wow, that is a
148
00:10:54.820 --> 00:10:58.100
little ham yeah, you dry shy
your three thousand. Do you drive into
149
00:10:58.139 --> 00:11:03.370
town on a two lane road?
No, we well, I mainly walk
150
00:11:03.490 --> 00:11:09.210
into town. Takes about twenty minutes
walking to town. However, my daughter
151
00:11:09.769 --> 00:11:13.929
goes to school in another county,
although it's only ten minutes way, and
152
00:11:15.129 --> 00:11:20.240
we drive and again that's a single
road. Yeah, one road to LAS.
153
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.080
Yeah, just so, yeah,
it gets a bit crazy Down't there
154
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:31.240
sometimes. But you know nothing about
it because I drive to Liverpool and stuff
155
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:33.909
a lot as well. I drive
to big cities. But yeah, the
156
00:11:33.950 --> 00:11:39.389
roads are pretty weird. The scary
people. It's so back road. Oh
157
00:11:39.429 --> 00:11:41.269
Yeah, yeah, I drive on
lots of back roads. Fortunately Mars are
158
00:11:41.309 --> 00:11:46.950
mostly desolate, but not a lot
of people in some of these. Well,
159
00:11:46.179 --> 00:11:50.779
yeah, I love the that you
live so near beach because so,
160
00:11:50.899 --> 00:11:54.740
can you tell us more about the
breakdown of the UK, because I'm fairly
161
00:11:54.820 --> 00:12:00.059
intelligent, a middle aged white guy
in America, and I've always been sort
162
00:12:00.059 --> 00:12:05.210
of mystified about the UK because we
talked about in the America. You think
163
00:12:05.250 --> 00:12:09.250
of the UK, you just think
England is the whole UK. Now,
164
00:12:09.289 --> 00:12:13.409
I mean that's kind of like hyperbole, but I mean you know what I
165
00:12:13.490 --> 00:12:16.279
mean. So there's Ireland, there's
Scotland. Is Scotland in the UK?
166
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.480
You Got North and South Wales.
How big is the UK? What all
167
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:26.000
are those countries comprised? Well,
what you said. When people mention the
168
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:30.669
UK it's mainly London, which is
he England, right. You know,
169
00:12:30.830 --> 00:12:33.309
people say, Oh, I'm coming
to the UK, which you want to
170
00:12:33.350 --> 00:12:35.190
meet me? I'll be like yeah, sh way there in London. On
171
00:12:35.309 --> 00:12:39.389
this okay, that's like eight hours
away from me, you know. On
172
00:12:39.549 --> 00:12:43.029
another one, like I said in
the beginning, was card if I'm come,
173
00:12:43.110 --> 00:12:46.539
its Wales, you know, going
to meet me. But yeah,
174
00:12:46.700 --> 00:12:50.539
so you've got, I learned by
way makes moeography is not the Basta better
175
00:12:50.580 --> 00:12:54.620
than, and thank you well,
mental magazines from back in the day.
176
00:12:54.700 --> 00:12:58.690
I gave me an idea of the
UK. And now the tours go.
177
00:13:00.850 --> 00:13:05.289
Yeah, absolutely, Birmingham, and
then you got Newcastle way up north.
178
00:13:05.289 --> 00:13:09.090
Yes, yes, you say,
like both of them places, because my
179
00:13:09.289 --> 00:13:16.120
partner's no from me other so it's
somehow. We go quite often anyway.
180
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:22.000
So but yeah, it's like it's
pretty huge im when you've got obviously you've
181
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.240
got north Wales, South Wales,
you've got whales in general. Then you've
182
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:30.389
got England, which is just England. That you've got. I learned,
183
00:13:30.950 --> 00:13:35.870
I think. I mean, yeah, Scotland, it's well, not missing
184
00:13:35.950 --> 00:13:39.149
anywhere. I know. I think
it's all the whales. Ones thing.
185
00:13:39.870 --> 00:13:43.779
Yeah, that mostly in your right
that. It's almost like someone said,
186
00:13:43.019 --> 00:13:48.419
coming to the North America, you
want to meet me and like which parts?
187
00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:56.289
Now can is Wales? That the
same thing. Is Welsh whereby am?
188
00:13:56.570 --> 00:14:01.210
Yes, it's Welsh's a language.
So I'm Wales. Is the country?
189
00:14:03.330 --> 00:14:05.889
Okay, like Danish and dinner.
Yeah, what is the day?
190
00:14:07.009 --> 00:14:13.039
Is there much difference in the language
between English and Welsh? Oh, yes,
191
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.960
a lot. Well, I think
that is. I think the easiest
192
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:22.159
way for me to explain to you
how Welsh sounds, apart from like talking,
193
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.070
it, is to say that we
say things backwards. So, for
194
00:14:26.190 --> 00:14:31.389
example, if English people say it
big house, we say house bag.
195
00:14:33.230 --> 00:14:35.950
Okay, cool, it's yourself.
So, yeah, it sounds very,
196
00:14:35.990 --> 00:14:43.340
very random, but we've got all
the some Sun all this. I mean
197
00:14:43.419 --> 00:14:46.539
I where I live, it is
the biggest name in the UK. So
198
00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:50.299
so instead of seeing you have a
big house, you say house big.
199
00:14:52.700 --> 00:14:56.169
Yeah, basically, that's college.
Really is this way of plain night.
200
00:14:56.250 --> 00:15:01.450
Yeah, so like to know me? House bake. Yeah, it's crazy
201
00:15:01.490 --> 00:15:07.320
living a household. Yeah, it's
probably one of the hardest languages to learn,
202
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:11.919
although I was very fasha. I
I was. Well, so I
203
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:18.159
learned English, you know, rather
than a lot of countries learn English as
204
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.669
a second language in that respect,
because, if that makes sense, yes,
205
00:15:22.590 --> 00:15:26.870
California with the Spanish. Yeah,
beutiful, you know. I mean
206
00:15:26.990 --> 00:15:31.230
I found it easier. I mean
my daughters is bilingual, so it's like
207
00:15:31.470 --> 00:15:37.059
was my part as English. She
struggled to learn Welsh, because I see
208
00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:39.899
English at home and my partner and
she struggles to learn Welsh. But that
209
00:15:39.980 --> 00:15:48.379
again, she exactly speak French.
Pretty Awesome. So, yeah, this
210
00:15:48.620 --> 00:15:50.850
is something I'm learning for the first
time in that Welsh is such a different
211
00:15:50.889 --> 00:15:56.289
language that it's actually a second language. It's not an adaption of English at
212
00:15:56.289 --> 00:16:00.769
all. It's almost sounds like it's
Hebrew and in the way the the nouns
213
00:16:00.850 --> 00:16:03.440
and verbs are mistacked differently. Yeah, I wasn't aware of that either.
214
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:12.039
Yeah, really cool. This Dick
Enough Nuggets of information. It's pretty incredible.
215
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:18.360
What do you do? What's the
main form of entertainment, like live
216
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:26.549
inner game? Where you live?
Probably where I actually live. I probably
217
00:16:26.590 --> 00:16:30.909
say if any of the purpose get
local bands in or local singing clubs,
218
00:16:32.830 --> 00:16:37.539
anything like that. Like you know, in Karaoke singing club you have,
219
00:16:37.860 --> 00:16:44.139
you do have Karaoke, but they
do have live nights where we, one
220
00:16:44.220 --> 00:16:48.889
of our famous bands, will come
down and like spend the night in the
221
00:16:48.970 --> 00:16:52.769
purpose singing and yeah, you know
for Christmas parties and stuff like that.
222
00:16:52.970 --> 00:16:56.090
That's a quite a job starting round. Kim, that's a question I just
223
00:16:56.169 --> 00:17:00.850
want to get out really quick.
What is one of your famous bands from
224
00:17:00.169 --> 00:17:11.119
Welsh Country and Wales? I'M gonna
I can't name one. Let me think
225
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:17.069
about it. I do, I
do have a couple of favorite bands,
226
00:17:17.269 --> 00:17:21.789
but I don't want to like a
friend anyone. Oh, yeah, this
227
00:17:21.950 --> 00:17:25.589
is all about that. Honestly,
this is the least offensive episode we've done
228
00:17:25.630 --> 00:17:32.339
in a long time. Yeah,
offensive, it just sort of name everybody.
229
00:17:32.539 --> 00:17:38.500
So from Wales in general. Right, yeah, it's yeah, and
230
00:17:38.900 --> 00:17:44.410
obviously I've heard of money street street
preachers. Oh, yeah, I stead
231
00:17:44.410 --> 00:17:48.009
of funny. Seeah, well,
they're from Wales. Okay. Yeah,
232
00:17:48.690 --> 00:17:52.930
in California Manic Street preachers made a
big hit, big splash in the states,
233
00:17:52.450 --> 00:17:56.089
especially in the kind of that,
I don't know, hip underground kind
234
00:17:56.089 --> 00:18:00.720
of music scene. Yeah, absolutely. Well, yeah, like I said,
235
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:04.079
I don't actually know them personally.
Perhaps, E. I just like
236
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.720
their name. I was thought their
name was cool. Yeah, yeah,
237
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.910
absolutely. My mom got me into
set up on next to be honest,
238
00:18:11.990 --> 00:18:15.430
and yeah, I kind of fell
in love from them. But you've got
239
00:18:15.509 --> 00:18:22.190
something called Griff Chis as well,
who is amazing and he's the lead singer
240
00:18:22.390 --> 00:18:26.460
of superfery animals. I don't make
you heard of them. Superferry animal?
241
00:18:26.539 --> 00:18:33.099
Sure? Yeah. So he's like
Putt Yours. And then you've got Casa
242
00:18:33.180 --> 00:18:37.140
Tonia as well, Clays Matthews.
You got all them. I don't even
243
00:18:37.539 --> 00:18:41.930
if you know any of them.
But you've also got Ellen flear as all,
244
00:18:41.009 --> 00:18:47.490
which she is just incredible. She'd
say ages me. I think the
245
00:18:47.569 --> 00:18:53.089
last thing said Ellen Flynn and Ellen
flair, which is the ble F Alue
246
00:18:53.130 --> 00:19:03.480
you are is the closed very first
in your area. It's the what,
247
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:10.109
sorry, the Glastonbury Festival. Is
that in your area? And that is
248
00:19:10.230 --> 00:19:12.869
main? That's in England, I
think. So it's not too far for
249
00:19:14.029 --> 00:19:18.670
me, but it's still a good
far away, like because I it's people.
250
00:19:19.549 --> 00:19:26.099
Where I actually live is quite in
the depth of an island. So
251
00:19:26.299 --> 00:19:30.299
like even chest which is in England, will take about two and a half
252
00:19:30.339 --> 00:19:36.619
hours for us, and that's probably
the closest place that way. So it's
253
00:19:36.700 --> 00:19:41.210
really weird because they're quite far from
everything, but not too far away.
254
00:19:41.569 --> 00:19:45.210
Yes, and you know what it
sounds like. Just you know, it
255
00:19:45.369 --> 00:19:48.529
sounds like Gary, that she lives
in a place similar to maybe Carmel,
256
00:19:48.849 --> 00:19:52.839
like dance, but obviously not an
island. Carmel's down island, but foggy
257
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:57.480
and close enough to San Francisco or
San Jose or whatnot. But yeah,
258
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:00.720
couplowers drive. Yeah, not too
many people in town either, and sounds
259
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.200
pretty nice. Do People in your
town, Kim, have nice cars?
260
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:10.069
They do? They there? Well, to me they do. Yeah,
261
00:20:11.789 --> 00:20:18.150
as opposed to what you own.
Walk Everyone's cars nice to me. Yeah,
262
00:20:19.109 --> 00:20:22.140
you know, I've got a good
tub, but you know, cooky
263
00:20:22.259 --> 00:20:26.700
back, however. Yeah, but
see, if that's what I was going
264
00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:32.819
to say, you mainly see bikes. Yeah, motorbikes and cycling bikes.
265
00:20:33.220 --> 00:20:37.890
You'll see see tractor quote bikes,
many motors, random stuff like that as
266
00:20:37.970 --> 00:20:42.730
well. So that's very funny.
Yeah, just down the streets on the
267
00:20:42.769 --> 00:20:48.369
quad. Sorry, drink it.
Yeah, and yeah, we're not likes
268
00:20:48.410 --> 00:20:52.240
on half the time. So it
sound like the farmers out here in Oklahoma.
269
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:55.119
They just driving down the wrong side
of the highway because they just assume
270
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:59.440
nobody was at going to be out
there now screwing around, like get off
271
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:07.390
the highway. We we they were
donuts here. What do they form?
272
00:21:07.309 --> 00:21:12.710
Yeah, anything, shape cows,
as they call on then, but not
273
00:21:12.829 --> 00:21:17.750
call meat. They're beat farmers.
Okay, cool. Yeah, we do
274
00:21:17.910 --> 00:21:22.619
have local metg and ch farms as
well. What grows out there? What
275
00:21:22.779 --> 00:21:29.299
grows? Well, well, I'm
not, I think to Tayos. Maybe
276
00:21:29.420 --> 00:21:32.220
that might be totally all. My
friends are going to listen to us a
277
00:21:32.220 --> 00:21:36.490
little things like what's he talking about
now, and what's your perspective? For
278
00:21:36.569 --> 00:21:37.970
sure, you know I mean.
And we don't expect everybody to be an
279
00:21:38.009 --> 00:21:41.089
expert on every topic at all.
Where like if you asked me about where
280
00:21:41.089 --> 00:21:45.410
I live, I don't know that
much depth. I know broad knowledge,
281
00:21:45.490 --> 00:21:48.839
so I can survive, but there's
always weird things that pop up that someone
282
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:52.680
will say, did you know that
this happened here right on this bottom?
283
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:56.440
Like what? What? Yeah,
it's funny. But what we don't know
284
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.670
that where we live to sometimes.
Yeah, I mean I our national and
285
00:22:02.430 --> 00:22:07.670
prower is caff from the duff bill
is the leaks. So I'm guessing that
286
00:22:07.910 --> 00:22:11.430
is something that grows pret about how
to Nice. What? How do you
287
00:22:11.470 --> 00:22:15.190
get most of your power out there
in Wales? Are you like? Is
288
00:22:15.269 --> 00:22:19.059
it the steam or is it wind
or water? Call what? I think
289
00:22:19.180 --> 00:22:25.819
it's wind. And we also have
a nuclear plant as well not far from
290
00:22:25.859 --> 00:22:30.569
where we live via and it's been
there for years. Obviously, and oddly
291
00:22:30.650 --> 00:22:37.690
I'm a big hippie generally speaking,
but I think nuclear is sound. Yeah,
292
00:22:37.890 --> 00:22:41.329
yeah, yeah, I don't know
much about going into that. All
293
00:22:41.410 --> 00:22:48.640
I know is that getting Wi fi
here is absolutely shocking. It's like it's
294
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.839
really bad. But yeah, there's
a lot of solar as well, which
295
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.440
is great. I'm more more of
the villages on the town's themely, are
296
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.829
getting solders pretty good. Yeah,
what is the village look like? When
297
00:23:00.829 --> 00:23:07.630
you say a village nearby? Pretty
much like what I've described really, even
298
00:23:07.630 --> 00:23:12.619
though it's classes a town and to
me it's a village. Again, what
299
00:23:12.740 --> 00:23:18.140
are the structures like? Because I
imagine like tiny little brown wooden outhouses stacked
300
00:23:18.140 --> 00:23:21.380
along a road. That's what I
think of a village. I think of
301
00:23:21.420 --> 00:23:25.700
an old timey cowboy village. I
think it's the same term as town,
302
00:23:25.940 --> 00:23:33.250
isn't it? Yeah, it technically
a village is smaller than a town,
303
00:23:33.369 --> 00:23:37.970
you know in if you, for
example, Google it, but in the
304
00:23:38.049 --> 00:23:42.319
way that things low. I mean
in our village we have to shop.
305
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:48.559
That's pretty awesome. What I was
in time. We have like three shops.
306
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.160
The food pom okay, but the
building is yeah, so the buildings,
307
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:56.309
I mean like we have a lot
of monuments as well. We have
308
00:23:56.430 --> 00:23:59.750
a lot of it. We have
a bridge, you know, like a
309
00:23:59.789 --> 00:24:03.950
huge bridge. We have seas,
we have rivers, but the house is
310
00:24:04.990 --> 00:24:11.180
the really nice big houses for a
village, if you know, sure,
311
00:24:11.579 --> 00:24:15.660
if that makes sense. Yeah,
like there's a place called Tahoe in California
312
00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:18.660
where everybody has what they call,
quote unquote, cabins. Well, a
313
00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:25.849
cabin sounds like a little shack right
now. These are Fivezero feet models with
314
00:24:25.930 --> 00:24:30.009
huge twenty foot glass windows and things
like that. Do you still have cool
315
00:24:30.130 --> 00:24:34.369
castles nearby that are still standing?
Oh, yes, we do, and
316
00:24:34.529 --> 00:24:38.240
we have paint much loads. We
have quite a lot of castles. How
317
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:45.000
about the CANNAB and Castle? Is, I think is the smallest pieces that
318
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:51.160
stand in because that had to rebuild
some of them. But yeah, the
319
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:56.190
castles are amazing. I'm obviously they're
two thors attractions as well, so I
320
00:24:56.309 --> 00:24:59.990
think the money keeps them going as
well. And those date back to what
321
00:25:00.109 --> 00:25:06.549
about the sixteen hundreds? Yeah,
I would say so. Yeah, and
322
00:25:06.710 --> 00:25:11.380
and are there any with what I
call the old school moat with the drawbridge?
323
00:25:14.619 --> 00:25:18.339
And yes, I think, being
Marius, it's got one of them.
324
00:25:18.539 --> 00:25:19.940
However, I've not seen that one
in action, but I have seen
325
00:25:19.980 --> 00:25:26.089
the one Canar burn. I don't
think that works anymore. But, aside,
326
00:25:26.089 --> 00:25:29.609
as I know this wrong, three
where I live, then might be
327
00:25:29.730 --> 00:25:33.089
more well in the south. Yeah, but I know one of them is
328
00:25:33.170 --> 00:25:37.559
totally out of use because, well, I'm pretty sure it's not safe.
329
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:41.759
Yeah, I'd love to see one. So here's an idea. What tell
330
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:48.759
me about your local slang words,
like what is your favorite word for great?
331
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:53.069
Like generically in America we say cool
or awesome or radical or whatever,
332
00:25:53.190 --> 00:25:59.269
but what do you say for something
that's great? What we take die own,
333
00:25:59.950 --> 00:26:04.579
which is basically great and Welsh,
and we tend to say that if
334
00:26:04.700 --> 00:26:11.220
the person's English span age whatever we
find. Repeat, I own die,
335
00:26:11.420 --> 00:26:15.940
you own die yew. It almost
sounds die on it, does you think?
336
00:26:15.420 --> 00:26:18.970
Yeah, from and from an outsiders
perspective, yet die own. How
337
00:26:19.009 --> 00:26:29.529
do you spell and DA? Then
I a Wue and young dial I own
338
00:26:30.210 --> 00:26:34.839
it. Just yes, exclamation point
and shout that out. If there's somebody
339
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:38.920
scored a point at a game or
something. Yes, we would. We
340
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:45.480
talked about about for after it.
Okay, yeah, yeah, it's something
341
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:49.670
we quite long around here. Well, a lot low actually. Yeah,
342
00:26:49.710 --> 00:26:52.269
yeah, now this is the dirt. This is what I really want to
343
00:26:52.309 --> 00:26:55.630
know, because you know, if
you don't have friends in another country,
344
00:26:55.710 --> 00:27:00.390
you never see them exclaiming on your
facebook profile any words like these. So
345
00:27:00.549 --> 00:27:03.980
how would anybody ever get to know
the other people slang? I love it.
346
00:27:04.740 --> 00:27:11.140
Yeah, absolutely, I've got friends
on my facebook obviously speak weld.
347
00:27:11.579 --> 00:27:15.730
I think English because most of my
work is to do with English. But
348
00:27:15.809 --> 00:27:18.410
yeah, it's nice to see some
of the Welsh posts come up as well
349
00:27:18.569 --> 00:27:22.009
as like that. Yeah, I
could imagine right. So if somebody was
350
00:27:22.049 --> 00:27:27.130
a jerk, let's say, is
there a good jerk like what a?
351
00:27:27.329 --> 00:27:30.480
What a? What an a whole
in America? Just want an asshole kind
352
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:33.960
of thing. Is it doesn't have
to be profane, but I mean,
353
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:38.480
is there a word that's like that? Wait, me, I pretty much
354
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:42.759
like most of my friends or family
would say something like Kaho, which means
355
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:51.309
like shit eyed. Okay, se
again and spell it. Oh, spell
356
00:27:51.390 --> 00:27:57.859
it. I'll say it is cacord, which comes from cafe, which is
357
00:27:59.140 --> 00:28:07.619
Pooh, spell it, another word
for poods. Very, very country has
358
00:28:07.660 --> 00:28:12.849
their own word for shit. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Yes, that's
359
00:28:12.970 --> 00:28:25.450
pretty were own should but I felt
see a see Y wr wow, I
360
00:28:25.609 --> 00:28:30.119
love it. We don't use any
vowels. Screw the vowels. Word has
361
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:36.599
enough. It takes them out.
But it but it pronounces like Yiddish in
362
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:40.279
that other word, the Dajuan almost
sounds Asian. This is a wild language.
363
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:41.630
I really have to dig into Welsh
after we get off the air and
364
00:28:41.710 --> 00:28:47.910
start like digging into the differences.
It's I'm fascinated solutely. It is very
365
00:28:48.029 --> 00:28:52.950
interesting. I mean, if you
learn in Welsh you probably won't, won't
366
00:28:52.390 --> 00:28:59.180
learn the song you know, but
it's this Flang that really matters. Work
367
00:28:59.259 --> 00:29:03.059
from the north, little to know. Yeah, I mean like in South
368
00:29:03.140 --> 00:29:07.259
ws I love South Wales. I
got friends from there, but they'll say
369
00:29:07.339 --> 00:29:11.970
something like the right word for caricters
modern, whereas I would say cutoffs.
370
00:29:11.529 --> 00:29:18.329
It's easier, it's faster and it
means the same thing. So last afference
371
00:29:18.369 --> 00:29:21.569
between the north and the south really
and plus, not many people from the
372
00:29:21.609 --> 00:29:25.440
South Speak Welsh, which is weird. Yeah, the south sounds way more
373
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:30.160
English, you all because Moron is
we use that word in America to yeah,
374
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.160
however, yeah, it means a
completely different word. I think crear
375
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:37.789
doesn't end we we kind of offensive. Is that offensive over here? Moren
376
00:29:37.910 --> 00:29:42.349
is like a stupid person. Yeah, the definition. Yeah, I mean
377
00:29:42.430 --> 00:29:48.509
Moren forrasis cards, a caract so
that's pretty weird. Yeah. Yeah,
378
00:29:48.150 --> 00:29:52.019
well, I would not have guessed
that Welsh has a rolling of the ours
379
00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:56.859
in their language. Yeah, yeah, we have a lot of the we
380
00:29:56.980 --> 00:30:03.420
have a lot of the press turn
against the tea kind of like a snake.
381
00:30:03.460 --> 00:30:12.369
You were invaded by the Spanish and
the Jews everywhere. So our things
382
00:30:12.769 --> 00:30:17.250
covid wise starting to loosen up there. How are things in town just going?
383
00:30:17.329 --> 00:30:21.480
How are you guys feeling? How's
the VIBE? You know what the
384
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:26.319
place here and where are you slip, which I've only been here for US
385
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:29.799
six months, but timing its away
in my other place. I'm here.
386
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:34.789
The community is just incredible. When
we hit the pander make everyone pulled together,
387
00:30:36.349 --> 00:30:41.230
every single person you know yeah,
we helped each other as much as
388
00:30:41.269 --> 00:30:44.990
we could. We said high to
each other. We may knock them doors
389
00:30:45.069 --> 00:30:48.230
to make sure that people were okay, knock the windows even, rather than
390
00:30:48.309 --> 00:30:52.900
doors. It was pretty amazing.
But now, yeah, people, the
391
00:30:52.940 --> 00:30:56.500
pups are opening for outside. Kind
of have to do that because of your
392
00:30:56.539 --> 00:31:00.779
little population, right. Yeah,
yeah, I guess so. I'm quite.
393
00:31:02.700 --> 00:31:06.930
I want I wouldn't say I'm introverted, but I am quite. I
394
00:31:07.089 --> 00:31:10.769
like my own space. I'm my
beaches, my mom join the club.
395
00:31:11.009 --> 00:31:17.130
Yeah, you know, I like
people, but to to a certain extent.
396
00:31:18.450 --> 00:31:21.839
Yes, to be able to control
the balance of people in your atmosphere.
397
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:26.119
Yeah, yeah, common sense.
Yeah, big cities are a bit
398
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:29.279
much. They're little hype, a
little over over kinnectic in the big,
399
00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:33.349
big cities. Yeah, yeah,
it can get a bit, I guess,
400
00:31:33.390 --> 00:31:36.990
stressed out. It's such a drive
into a big city and I'm I'm
401
00:31:36.990 --> 00:31:38.109
a lot used to it now,
better than I used to be, but
402
00:31:38.670 --> 00:31:41.710
it can still stress me out.
Whereas I can walk out my house and
403
00:31:42.269 --> 00:31:47.339
in my little straight there's five houses, that's it. So I know every
404
00:31:47.380 --> 00:31:49.180
single person and I know they'll be
there for me if I need them.
405
00:31:49.259 --> 00:31:52.859
But I also know that they're not. They're nosy either. So it's a
406
00:31:52.980 --> 00:31:56.579
really nice balance. Sir, that
sounds like a not because you also have
407
00:31:56.859 --> 00:32:00.890
the sense of community through your work, which I would have. I would,
408
00:32:00.930 --> 00:32:07.930
I'm guessing our entrepreneurs and things like
that from Wales. No, actually,
409
00:32:07.009 --> 00:32:09.730
most of my clients are from the
US. Kidding, that's awesome.
410
00:32:09.730 --> 00:32:14.329
Yeah, so you kind of get
to interact or see or hear this slang
411
00:32:14.369 --> 00:32:19.559
words or just normal talk of Americans
through your daytoday work I do, and
412
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:24.559
it interests me. Every time I
speak to someone has something different to say
413
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:30.549
and like, like you mentioned before, I'm coming to America. Like,
414
00:32:30.710 --> 00:32:34.950
for example, I'm going to Disney
visit Disney world and then joined me up
415
00:32:35.230 --> 00:32:38.029
the like we know. I live
like three days or right. Okay,
416
00:32:38.109 --> 00:32:42.670
sorry, and so I am at
see one of them people. I think
417
00:32:42.710 --> 00:32:45.660
that's common and that's part of why
we wanted to put the show together and
418
00:32:45.740 --> 00:32:49.539
start seeming the various parts of the
earth together a little more tightly. In
419
00:32:49.819 --> 00:32:53.539
California, for example, if there's
a big earthquake, everybody outside of California
420
00:32:53.579 --> 00:33:00.329
assumes that everyone in California experienced an
earthquake and it's not the case at all,
421
00:33:00.410 --> 00:33:04.970
California is so huge top to bottom. There can be an earthquake literally
422
00:33:05.009 --> 00:33:07.930
eight hour drive away and you're not
going to be wow, yeah, and
423
00:33:08.049 --> 00:33:12.569
you could drive ten hours like sometimes
in California you drive so long you count
424
00:33:12.569 --> 00:33:16.200
it by hours, not by miles
kilometers. Wow. Yeah, see,
425
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:20.119
I would have been one of them
people that's all, oh, there's something
426
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:24.039
happened California. I U Okay,
you know, that would be almost like
427
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:30.190
saying, yeah, I would like
in California to the entire UK in size,
428
00:33:30.430 --> 00:33:32.029
well, just north to souths of
and but we see it the same
429
00:33:32.069 --> 00:33:37.109
way. So if there's a some
political event or some catastrophe in the UK,
430
00:33:37.069 --> 00:33:39.750
instantly in America we're thinking, Oh, I hope the you know,
431
00:33:39.829 --> 00:33:44.500
Prince Charles is okay, whatever.
You know, we just we connect the
432
00:33:44.579 --> 00:33:50.420
strangest dots and sadly most out there
that are out of state think California or
433
00:33:50.740 --> 00:33:53.819
our, shall I say, La
is, California. I've talked to many,
434
00:33:53.859 --> 00:33:58.730
many people in the east coast and
houst things going out there with that
435
00:33:58.809 --> 00:34:00.049
earthquake. I was like, dude, that's in La Man, that's five
436
00:34:00.089 --> 00:34:05.490
hundred miles south of here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I think
437
00:34:05.609 --> 00:34:07.849
like you know, I said I
am one of them people, but the
438
00:34:07.930 --> 00:34:10.360
more and more I talk to people
in the US I'm starting to realize that
439
00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:15.599
I and that's not always the case. And I'm like you guys a all
440
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:17.960
you putting the show together, and
I was like, okay, that is
441
00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:23.159
so cool. You know, you
get to know places like when I come
442
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:25.429
to the US, which I am
planning, I'm coming to see you west,
443
00:34:27.829 --> 00:34:30.789
I'm going to write two separate states. Yeah, Gary is in California
444
00:34:30.869 --> 00:34:34.710
and I'm in the middle of the
country, in a state called Oklahoma.
445
00:34:34.869 --> 00:34:40.900
We're separated by a thousand miles probably, and I'm by San Francisco. Oh,
446
00:34:40.940 --> 00:34:45.539
wow, wow, which is I
have a he's he said he's by
447
00:34:45.579 --> 00:34:47.980
San Francisco, and I was going
to say, which is a little bit
448
00:34:49.019 --> 00:34:54.449
different than bisexuals. Yeah, let's
look into that one. I was just
449
00:34:54.570 --> 00:35:01.130
playing with him as fucker. Well, that's the thing about California. To
450
00:35:01.489 --> 00:35:06.289
Gary, I grew up in California
for our whole lives and anytime anybody outside
451
00:35:06.289 --> 00:35:07.920
of the state would comment, once
the Internet came around, they like,
452
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:14.039
Oh yeah, are you guys gay? What that? Everyone in California's gay
453
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:17.880
or a movie star like okay,
I know, you know what. I
454
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:21.239
know this is not your stuck in
the same level. But people say,
455
00:35:21.550 --> 00:35:23.429
Oh, you're from Wales, do
you like she be Shod Chap? I'm
456
00:35:23.469 --> 00:35:30.110
like, fucking we put them on
the cliff and they back up right into
457
00:35:30.190 --> 00:35:36.900
us. I mean like that's so
funny. It's yeah, Christ. So
458
00:35:36.980 --> 00:35:39.460
now I just say yeah, so
whatever. Oh, yeah, Oh,
459
00:35:39.579 --> 00:35:43.739
Youh when I'd introduce myself from where
I'd from, I'd be like, yeah,
460
00:35:43.739 --> 00:35:49.820
I'm from San Francisco and no,
I'm not yea perfect yeah, well,
461
00:35:49.860 --> 00:35:52.329
that's another one, like how,
you're from Wales, you speak well.
462
00:35:52.409 --> 00:35:54.050
So'm like, well, yeah,
course I do, but then I
463
00:35:54.170 --> 00:35:59.210
realize that actually, okay, that's
not such a dumb question. You know,
464
00:36:00.329 --> 00:36:02.090
it sounds like it might be where
you live, but maybe not as
465
00:36:02.130 --> 00:36:07.880
dumb. And South Wales. Yeah, exactly. I've got a really big
466
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:14.159
problem with people not speaking well in
Wales, and I'm not against anybody who
467
00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:17.079
doesn't speak Welsh. I just I
don't get that Welsh person accounts speak well.
468
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:23.670
I can't understand that in my head. It confuses me. But Yeah,
469
00:36:23.789 --> 00:36:27.750
South Wales. I really generally do
not know why they don't speak well.
470
00:36:27.869 --> 00:36:30.789
So because when I was growing up, I just thought, Oh,
471
00:36:30.989 --> 00:36:35.179
okay, everyone speaks well for around
me it must be. Well, yeah,
472
00:36:35.219 --> 00:36:37.500
yeah, that makes sense. I
wonder how they feel in like French
473
00:36:37.940 --> 00:36:42.139
Quebec Canada also, because they've that's
always been a thing there too. You
474
00:36:42.219 --> 00:36:45.460
gotta speak both. Can You Canadian? Yea, well, they can.
475
00:36:45.539 --> 00:36:51.889
They don't have a Canadian they get
either English or French for Canna. Well,
476
00:36:52.170 --> 00:36:57.050
yeah, yeah, Quebec City,
I believe, is predominantly French.
477
00:36:57.090 --> 00:37:00.929
Yeah, and all of Canada has
a law where all the signage has to
478
00:37:00.010 --> 00:37:05.719
be both. Oh Wow, yeah, yeah, yeah, say, where
479
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:09.960
pretty evil around here. I was
signs a while some not that. Where
480
00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:15.039
you going, scrood? Well,
if for the sake of simplicity and business
481
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:16.389
and Commerce, I always thought,
like, why isn't everyone just agree on
482
00:37:16.469 --> 00:37:20.309
a language? I don't care which
one, but and I'll learn a new
483
00:37:20.389 --> 00:37:22.789
one, whatever it takes. One
like just figure out. Let's pick a
484
00:37:22.829 --> 00:37:25.510
language. It kind of defaults to
English in many places, but that's kind
485
00:37:25.550 --> 00:37:30.780
of unfair. Like who picked English
as the as the main one? Yeah,
486
00:37:30.820 --> 00:37:34.219
yeah, I get where you're coming
from. Yeah, I do.
487
00:37:34.659 --> 00:37:37.380
It's like, I mean, like
I said about my partner, he speaks
488
00:37:37.420 --> 00:37:40.260
Welsh. Now he's not very good. That I don't fet miss at that,
489
00:37:40.420 --> 00:37:45.090
but you know he tries, thankfully. So I had that moment.
490
00:37:46.130 --> 00:37:52.369
I'll never hear that any well,
but he does stay crush on. He
491
00:37:52.530 --> 00:37:58.170
just has more and more. Like
English is such a dumb language. Yeah,
492
00:37:58.530 --> 00:38:01.920
it's not, it kind of is. I'm in agreement. It's nonsensical,
493
00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:06.840
that's for sure. There's so many
just ridiculously illogical rules that have.
494
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:09.960
I don't know, there you'll start
learning link and there's always an exception.
495
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:14.949
It's like is everything in exception in
English? Well, also the fact that
496
00:38:15.829 --> 00:38:17.710
in English language, I don't know
if it is with other languages, but
497
00:38:17.989 --> 00:38:22.630
one word means like ten different things. Yeah, it's funny, you say,
498
00:38:22.710 --> 00:38:27.110
though, that's bizarre to make.
Gonna say to we have three different
499
00:38:27.179 --> 00:38:30.940
words for one English word, you
know, like Trup tramp, the road,
500
00:38:30.420 --> 00:38:36.460
road is road in English. I
mean like we have what is it?
501
00:38:36.659 --> 00:38:39.940
I've got translate things my head.
So like we call a drive something
502
00:38:40.059 --> 00:38:44.130
that we call a road something what
I was in England. It's a road.
503
00:38:45.010 --> 00:38:49.369
I'm not it interesting us? Yeah, yeah, to we. So
504
00:38:49.769 --> 00:38:55.440
you don't have bulevards and avenues and
things like that, not in north Wales
505
00:38:55.639 --> 00:39:01.519
and I don't know about South Wales. Now, I mean the name of
506
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:06.320
my town. Do you want me
to say it so you can go?
507
00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:08.880
Yeah, so to you joy.
Yeah. Well, where I live it
508
00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:15.389
is called Shannolight footcorn gate, Googlo
winthrawboys UN to the sale of Goo,
509
00:39:15.710 --> 00:39:21.909
Goo. God. That is legit. My village, my town name.
510
00:39:22.469 --> 00:39:25.219
That's all I lived. It's like, I mean tysolable. So I guess
511
00:39:25.260 --> 00:39:29.460
if someone wants to stock you it's
going to be pretty hard to remember that
512
00:39:29.619 --> 00:39:34.539
name. Absolutely, I amsolutely.
I couldn't even spell it because I remember
513
00:39:34.699 --> 00:39:37.420
now the way she's pronouncing it.
There's there's tongue rolls and things in there
514
00:39:37.500 --> 00:39:43.369
that that's amazing. But say,
I know the English version as well.
515
00:39:43.650 --> 00:39:46.449
Well, I'm let me translate it. So the English version would be some
516
00:39:46.570 --> 00:39:53.840
timing, like the Church of since
Mary in the hollow contest of white tastel
517
00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:59.679
trees near the rapid world pool by
so to to chill the oak of the
518
00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:04.159
right cave. I got okay,
so that's why it's so long in wells.
519
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:07.389
It's long in English as well.
Yeah, and it's very, very
520
00:40:07.469 --> 00:40:12.590
descriptive like that's almost not a name
of a town but directions to the town.
521
00:40:12.590 --> 00:40:16.030
Yeah, well, right down by
the church, left at the tree
522
00:40:16.190 --> 00:40:21.539
and jump over the creek. That's
them. I never actually knew there was
523
00:40:21.539 --> 00:40:24.699
an English word for it, like
generally didn't know, and then when I
524
00:40:24.780 --> 00:40:28.940
found out that was an English name. It sounds like directions, but as
525
00:40:29.099 --> 00:40:35.659
in Wowsh it's like places name places
rather than directions. So yeah, just
526
00:40:35.730 --> 00:40:38.409
start on that. Yeah, that's
crazy. Is there a lot of towns
527
00:40:39.289 --> 00:40:45.929
with names like that? They're not
as bake, because that's the biggest in
528
00:40:45.969 --> 00:40:51.519
the UK, because longst town name
in the UK. However, you do
529
00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:55.599
have Chandra, Schampberry, chanted no, so win, things like that.
530
00:40:55.800 --> 00:41:00.239
So, yeah, it's a lot
of but your town is a particularly an
531
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:06.030
anomaly. It sounds like with the
yeah, that's really unique. Bay.
532
00:41:06.150 --> 00:41:08.630
That's super cool. I wonder at
the City Council meetings they go like we
533
00:41:08.789 --> 00:41:12.750
need to shorten the name of this
place. What should we call it?
534
00:41:12.949 --> 00:41:20.420
Let's call it Bob. Let's turn
at the fence. Yeah, everybody has
535
00:41:20.460 --> 00:41:22.539
show and there. So, yeah, the short and did down to Shambay
536
00:41:22.579 --> 00:41:29.219
PG, which can still be a
struggle. But yeah, CHEMOPG and I
537
00:41:29.260 --> 00:41:32.730
can fake that to a taxi driver
somewhere. Ha Ha, that struggle.
538
00:41:32.809 --> 00:41:40.369
For you nonwell speaking people. It's
it's awesome. Do you guys have a
539
00:41:40.570 --> 00:41:45.610
airport or anything within do you have
to go to Liverpool to fly? Yeah,
540
00:41:45.769 --> 00:41:49.639
liver pull of Manchester the closest ones. Well, closest to us,
541
00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:52.000
as I know, the fleet.
That brings up the sports thing. Do
542
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:55.119
you guys do in your household or
your town? Do you all particularly follow
543
00:41:55.199 --> 00:42:02.750
sports or any particular sports teams?
My daughter, my comments from waging,
544
00:42:02.869 --> 00:42:07.789
so he supposed Wigan. However,
my daughters and now because she plays football
545
00:42:07.949 --> 00:42:14.309
and she's torn between Support Income Ry, Wales or way. Game is creating
546
00:42:14.389 --> 00:42:20.139
tension in the family? No,
it's just creating a little likeness, fun
547
00:42:20.219 --> 00:42:28.980
rivalry. Yeah, yeah, but
obviously we I follow rugby because rugby is
548
00:42:29.019 --> 00:42:32.690
battle bakeground here, but I'm not
a sport bigger than football. Running,
549
00:42:34.530 --> 00:42:37.090
yeah, very much. So aunt
here. It's wow. Yeah, I
550
00:42:37.130 --> 00:42:40.409
guess that. I love watching rugby. I'm not sure which I prefer watching.
551
00:42:40.489 --> 00:42:45.239
Honestly, they're both pretty entertaining,
I guess with they're neither sport is
552
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:47.559
very big in America, though,
so we don't get a lot of opportunities
553
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:53.280
to watch them televised or, you
know, in person. But don't you
554
00:42:53.360 --> 00:43:00.150
call football what we call soccer?
Yep, yeah, that's where I'm talking.
555
00:43:00.230 --> 00:43:02.269
We at. We have soccer leagues
here in America, but they're not
556
00:43:02.389 --> 00:43:07.309
quite world class. It's American class
and some of the the best players kind
557
00:43:07.309 --> 00:43:10.869
of get paid highly to come play
for American teams and kind of seed new
558
00:43:10.909 --> 00:43:15.820
leagues, that type of thing.
So the action on our soccer fields,
559
00:43:15.860 --> 00:43:21.860
or football fields if you will,
is much slower. Right. They're not
560
00:43:22.340 --> 00:43:25.860
rock stars, just wow, because
when you watch the performers in the UK
561
00:43:27.019 --> 00:43:30.489
leagues is amazing. It's such a
difference. Or South America Leagues to we're
562
00:43:30.530 --> 00:43:36.409
nothing like that. So yeah,
we're limited to and they don't. We
563
00:43:36.530 --> 00:43:39.409
never see I'm can't recall the last
time I saw rugby on TV. I
564
00:43:39.530 --> 00:43:44.639
think I might have had cable channel. I flicked it to some New Zealand,
565
00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:46.480
some cable channel in New Zealand,
and that's all they played. But
566
00:43:46.599 --> 00:43:51.039
it's hard to see those two sports. So yeah, that's all much to
567
00:43:51.119 --> 00:43:54.079
the couple years ago when they did
a tour, it came to San Francisco
568
00:43:54.119 --> 00:44:00.829
Nice. I played rugby in Berkeley
was pretty fun. Yeah, they call
569
00:44:00.869 --> 00:44:04.630
it foot. Yeah, they were. They were playing at the at the
570
00:44:04.670 --> 00:44:07.989
baseball park. What do you call
it? The San Francisco Baseball Park,
571
00:44:08.030 --> 00:44:13.179
whatever that is. Now change his
name so much. Love it. Love
572
00:44:13.260 --> 00:44:17.179
it. That's cool. Yeah,
I'm not really a I love rugby,
573
00:44:17.420 --> 00:44:21.500
while Sharkby, obviously because of Whil. So sometimes I feel like I have
574
00:44:21.619 --> 00:44:27.010
to love it. But yeah,
I'm not massive sports fun, are you
575
00:44:27.090 --> 00:44:30.250
us? Are you a sports?
Do like our dod jog or sounds like.
576
00:44:30.409 --> 00:44:34.369
Probably ride a bicycle and that sort
of thing. And hiken? Yeah,
577
00:44:34.489 --> 00:44:37.610
I run. Yeah, well,
hike in is more like crawling up
578
00:44:37.650 --> 00:44:39.599
mountains for me now, but yeah, I run up fountains, I run
579
00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:46.960
down them. I Buy Canoe in, kayaking. Yeah, things like some
580
00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:50.800
staying fit. Good for you.
It sounds like you live in a just
581
00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:53.949
the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors. So the weather, I'm like,
582
00:44:54.190 --> 00:44:59.070
is the cliche English weather. I'm
sorry, you' Not English, obviously,
583
00:44:59.150 --> 00:45:02.829
but the UK weather we always assume
is gloomy. Is that traditional? Is
584
00:45:02.869 --> 00:45:08.420
that kind of common where you are? I know it's a joke that everybody
585
00:45:08.460 --> 00:45:12.860
says this like that. Okay,
but it does rain a hell of a
586
00:45:12.940 --> 00:45:16.820
lot. Sure you know, but
it's not always gloomy, of course,
587
00:45:16.820 --> 00:45:21.730
if that makes sense, because it's
not always dark. But it does rain
588
00:45:21.809 --> 00:45:24.650
a lot. But when we get
sun and we get hot, whether we
589
00:45:24.929 --> 00:45:30.050
get hot, really hot weather,
yeah, I'm human, Huh. Yeah.
590
00:45:30.090 --> 00:45:35.840
Yeah, and then when it gets
cold, it's horrible cold. It's
591
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:39.360
like damp cold. When I went
to Finland it was mine forty and it
592
00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:43.960
wasn't as cold as it feels like
it was here, but it's very damp
593
00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:46.840
here. Yeah, like through your
bone soon's cold. So with all that
594
00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:52.429
rain, everything looks green, right. Yes, yeah, but the only
595
00:45:52.510 --> 00:45:55.150
thing is when it stopped training and
it goes sunny and hot for about three
596
00:45:55.190 --> 00:46:00.190
or four days, everything sucks,
dying quickly. Some people panic. Yeah,
597
00:46:01.389 --> 00:46:06.500
quite ext you don't have fire weather
warning these days like I do.
598
00:46:06.699 --> 00:46:09.780
This is crazy. Yeah. Yeah, we're Gary and I grew up is
599
00:46:09.820 --> 00:46:15.579
a place called the Diablo valley and
every I don't know, every spring,
600
00:46:15.619 --> 00:46:17.610
I guess you would say exactly what
you talked about. All the hills were
601
00:46:17.690 --> 00:46:22.690
covered in beautiful green grass and then
one day you could tell it starting to
602
00:46:22.769 --> 00:46:25.929
turn, two days, three days
later, pure yellow. Yeah, yeah,
603
00:46:25.969 --> 00:46:31.849
and we're getting such bad winds now
that the fire weather warnings are coming
604
00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:37.360
earlier and earlier each year. Oh
Wow, we're in it today. Oh
605
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:42.800
Wow, I think. I think
the worst weather warning we had, obviously
606
00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:47.110
was like rather alert, but we
had a lot of flooding, and I
607
00:46:47.230 --> 00:46:52.309
mean like the whole village where I
usual it was flooded, shop sets close
608
00:46:52.349 --> 00:46:57.190
and everything. But even I sank
myself nearly every day. That we don't
609
00:46:57.190 --> 00:47:00.309
gas by just like you guys do. Oh, you know, New Zealand.
610
00:47:00.739 --> 00:47:07.019
Oh, on, Australia, and
yeah, it's a people complain about
611
00:47:07.019 --> 00:47:09.619
the Wather in North Wales and am
light. Will sorry, but this is
612
00:47:09.739 --> 00:47:14.980
nothing compared to some people. Yeah, and if yeah, it seems similar
613
00:47:15.099 --> 00:47:21.010
to the American States. SEATTLE,
Washington and Portland, Oregon are states that
614
00:47:21.090 --> 00:47:28.809
have similarly gloomy kind of stereotypical weather. But obviously just it just overcast most
615
00:47:28.849 --> 00:47:31.800
of the time and that also keeps
it from being too freezing. Yeah,
616
00:47:32.320 --> 00:47:36.880
absolutely. Yeah, that sounds lovely. Do you guys have a sounds like
617
00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:38.360
you have a canoe. Do you
have you go out on the sea in
618
00:47:38.440 --> 00:47:42.079
a boat? Boat, a full
size boat? Oh God, no,
619
00:47:42.199 --> 00:47:45.630
that's scary. Okay, I don't
know. Is it chopping like is that
620
00:47:45.829 --> 00:47:47.710
is that? See? Not Men
for recreation? Or How's that seat?
621
00:47:49.670 --> 00:47:52.670
And I know so many people,
my daughter included, and she's only eight,
622
00:47:53.070 --> 00:47:57.510
and she loves going on boats.
And we have different kind of boats.
623
00:47:57.550 --> 00:48:02.219
We have baked two of boats,
and then we have the sea rescue
624
00:48:02.380 --> 00:48:07.380
boats that you can have a ride
on, like obviously not an emergency,
625
00:48:07.500 --> 00:48:09.219
but you can have a ride on. And then we have the little paddle
626
00:48:09.340 --> 00:48:14.889
boats with one of them things called
alls. But me myself, I am
627
00:48:15.130 --> 00:48:17.769
terrified, and I say I go
kayaking and canoeing. I mean there's about
628
00:48:17.809 --> 00:48:22.130
two foot of water. That's it. It's just if yeah, there enough.
629
00:48:22.489 --> 00:48:28.159
Yeah, I don't own a canoe. Just enough's but just enough that
630
00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:32.440
I'm not going to die if I
fall out. I'm terrified of going on
631
00:48:32.559 --> 00:48:37.280
boats and stuff. I'll go swimming, but I go swimming in lakes,
632
00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:39.920
you know, like trees and lakes, and in the sea to a point,
633
00:48:40.469 --> 00:48:45.110
but I'm just boat scare me.
I'm very weird like that. That's
634
00:48:45.150 --> 00:48:47.630
a fascinating thing because a lot most
people are just afraid of the water themselves
635
00:48:47.670 --> 00:48:50.949
and they like the boats a little
bit more. But you kind of the
636
00:48:50.989 --> 00:48:54.550
opposite yeah, yeah, I I
don't even know why. I generally did
637
00:48:54.630 --> 00:48:58.179
not know where it's come from.
I've grown up me a boat, a
638
00:48:58.260 --> 00:49:07.179
water. I still won't go in
it. That's great. So tell me
639
00:49:07.340 --> 00:49:13.969
now, as things are kind of
progressing and you have a young child your
640
00:49:14.050 --> 00:49:16.969
partner, living in a small town, what do you see for your future?
641
00:49:17.090 --> 00:49:20.289
Is this the kind of place that
you you're going to stay and raise
642
00:49:20.329 --> 00:49:25.719
your kid until she's out of college? Yes, absolutely, I feel yeah,
643
00:49:25.760 --> 00:49:30.719
I always have done, even before
I had her, even before I
644
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:34.000
thought of kids. I thought,
if I'm going to have kids, this
645
00:49:34.840 --> 00:49:37.360
is where I want to bring her
up. I'm very passionate about that.
646
00:49:38.349 --> 00:49:42.469
I grew up her here. You
know, might be in a different kind
647
00:49:42.510 --> 00:49:47.150
of town or village, but locally, as aid in north Wales, it's
648
00:49:47.389 --> 00:49:52.550
good, educationable. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I'm not stupid.
649
00:49:52.820 --> 00:49:58.300
You know. Obviously you're with us. We've got one of the well,
650
00:49:58.380 --> 00:50:04.139
exactly, you know, we've got
one of the highest performing university's Natis as
651
00:50:04.219 --> 00:50:08.610
well, and as much as a
like shettle, the town is or the
652
00:50:08.690 --> 00:50:14.170
city is. This crosses the city. The universities and the colleges are just
653
00:50:14.409 --> 00:50:20.289
incredible. To schools are incredible.
I mean they learned my daughter had speech
654
00:50:21.010 --> 00:50:27.480
problems when she was younger. They
taught my child to to talk, you
655
00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:30.920
know, and as much as other
places do that they might do, but
656
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:35.320
to me that that just means the
world, you know. So are your
657
00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:38.389
schools public schools? Are they paid
for and also, do you have a
658
00:50:38.510 --> 00:50:46.030
similar medicine system, like Healthcare System
in Wales that we hear about? Yeah,
659
00:50:46.070 --> 00:50:51.219
well, we have a mixed of
public and paid for schools. However,
660
00:50:51.300 --> 00:50:55.659
I went to a public school and
I can't where I went to school
661
00:50:55.940 --> 00:51:01.179
is nothing compared to a public school
in the US. I understand there's a
662
00:51:01.179 --> 00:51:07.769
lot of things going on there.
Now we're very lucky because our public school
663
00:51:07.889 --> 00:51:13.170
is quite how can I say?
Is that quiet? It's maybe that's the
664
00:51:13.170 --> 00:51:16.170
right ways with quiet and yeah,
very much that. You know. Yes,
665
00:51:16.250 --> 00:51:21.639
that is some bullying going on,
but nothing compared to a lot of
666
00:51:21.719 --> 00:51:24.400
what other countries go through. So
we're very lucky to have really good public
667
00:51:24.440 --> 00:51:29.760
schools. You know, we do
have some private schools as well, which
668
00:51:29.760 --> 00:51:31.989
amazing, and I know people who
have been to them as well, of
669
00:51:32.150 --> 00:51:37.070
course. Yeah, and but yeah, in particular the public schools and we're
670
00:51:37.150 --> 00:51:43.150
very, very lucky here and that
they are the way they are with NHS.
671
00:51:43.469 --> 00:51:47.300
Yeah, we don't pay for medical
bills. We don't have medical bills,
672
00:51:47.659 --> 00:51:53.900
we don't pay for medication, which
is incredible. It's yeah, and
673
00:51:54.099 --> 00:51:57.940
that's commercial a personal thing as well. Yeah, that would be a big
674
00:51:57.980 --> 00:52:00.809
relief, I think, in any
country if you could just relieve the burden
675
00:52:01.010 --> 00:52:06.849
of having to pay every time you
got sick. Yeah, it's it's something
676
00:52:06.929 --> 00:52:10.369
I'm genuinely thankful for every day,
every day. Like I said, I
677
00:52:10.409 --> 00:52:14.690
have friends from the US I have
to pay for the medication and they have
678
00:52:14.929 --> 00:52:19.639
to because they have long life illnesses. Yeah, you know, and then
679
00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:22.440
I find myself that the medication I'm
going to be on for life, that
680
00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:25.440
I don't have to pay for,
you know, and that is that's a
681
00:52:25.599 --> 00:52:30.190
privilege. That is huge, you
know. Yeah, yeah, very,
682
00:52:30.269 --> 00:52:35.469
very thankful. I think we play
for the dentist if we're working. I
683
00:52:35.590 --> 00:52:38.670
mean that's like thirty pounds. It's
now that it's nothing. You know,
684
00:52:39.670 --> 00:52:43.269
that's great. I love hearing stories
like that because there is hope and I
685
00:52:43.389 --> 00:52:45.780
think in a way it's a privilege, but it's also by design. Like
686
00:52:46.059 --> 00:52:51.860
you, you guys and your ancestors
you designed the society that you live in.
687
00:52:52.300 --> 00:52:57.460
That's true, you know. So
you collectively thought that that was a
688
00:52:57.460 --> 00:53:00.730
valuable thing, that taking care of
each other, it's health, was important
689
00:53:00.730 --> 00:53:06.010
enough to collectively pay for it,
and I think that's that's Geez, that's
690
00:53:06.050 --> 00:53:09.170
huge and I just don't understand why
Americans can't get that together or wrap their
691
00:53:09.170 --> 00:53:14.480
head around that idea. Yeah,
yeah, you also probably take care of
692
00:53:14.519 --> 00:53:20.400
your not having a lot of homeless
correct. Yes, that's very true,
693
00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:24.079
very very true, especially from,
say, Liverpool, which is a couple
694
00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:29.949
of hours away from us. The
difference between Earth here. I I think
695
00:53:30.030 --> 00:53:34.789
I've seen a homeless person once.
I'm not kidding. I'm six years old
696
00:53:34.949 --> 00:53:38.550
and I've seen a homeless person around
my area once and he wasn't from Wales.
697
00:53:38.949 --> 00:53:46.219
It walked from England and that was
that was insane to see because there's
698
00:53:46.260 --> 00:53:51.179
so many people around and try to
help and that was like wow. But
699
00:53:51.260 --> 00:53:53.219
then I go to Liverpool, then
there's a little bit more people, and
700
00:53:53.300 --> 00:53:55.929
then I go to London, then
as a hell of a lot more people,
701
00:53:57.170 --> 00:54:00.289
for example, all the rest.
Yeah, yeah, you know.
702
00:54:00.369 --> 00:54:04.690
So, yeah, we don't.
You know, when we say we have
703
00:54:04.809 --> 00:54:08.650
homeless people here, we have people
who have split up from the partner,
704
00:54:08.690 --> 00:54:14.119
for example, and have nowhere to
go, but there's always so either someone
705
00:54:14.239 --> 00:54:20.079
personally that will help them or our
government will say, right, let's find
706
00:54:20.119 --> 00:54:23.429
you somewhere to sleep, and it's
quick. It's very, very quick,
707
00:54:23.469 --> 00:54:29.030
because I know because I've been there. It's it's incredible. Yeah, that's
708
00:54:29.070 --> 00:54:34.750
great. I think there's a couple
of twofold problem with homelessness. The homeless
709
00:54:34.750 --> 00:54:38.500
issue is that they are drawn to
big cities. So therefore big cities develop
710
00:54:38.820 --> 00:54:44.980
better homeless programs or more resourced,
more funded homeless programs, which then causes
711
00:54:45.019 --> 00:54:46.940
more people to go there. Then
a lot of times the smaller city say
712
00:54:46.980 --> 00:54:50.139
we don't really have much, you
have to go to the big city if
713
00:54:50.179 --> 00:54:52.530
you need help. Becomes a magnet. That's the way it isn't work anyway.
714
00:54:52.570 --> 00:54:54.969
So, yeah, the big cities
become a magnet because they have all
715
00:54:55.010 --> 00:55:00.489
the services. And then normally the
smaller towns in the outskirts in the country
716
00:55:00.010 --> 00:55:05.650
don't have many homeless because they're just
they look weird standing alone on an intersection
717
00:55:05.690 --> 00:55:08.719
in the middle of nowhere with no
cars driving by, whereas, yeah,
718
00:55:08.719 --> 00:55:10.760
if they just took the bus to
the big city. Now they're with a
719
00:55:10.840 --> 00:55:15.320
whole bunch of other homeless people standing
in line to get stuff. There,
720
00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:17.119
with their tribe. Yeah, in
a sense they are with their tribe.
721
00:55:17.400 --> 00:55:22.150
Yeah, unfortunately, rubs off,
because you kind of do become like the
722
00:55:22.269 --> 00:55:24.710
equivalent of the five people you're around
the most. I kind of believe in
723
00:55:24.789 --> 00:55:29.190
that and if you start hanging around
with with homeless people, you're just going
724
00:55:29.269 --> 00:55:32.309
to entrench yourself into that mindset.
No stigma the homeless people. I know
725
00:55:32.389 --> 00:55:36.900
everyone gets there, not didn't.
Nobody intends to become homeless, but by
726
00:55:37.059 --> 00:55:40.219
embracing that. I'm new in town. Where are you from? Oh,
727
00:55:40.340 --> 00:55:44.340
I was homeless up in Sacramento.
I jumped on this bus and now I'm
728
00:55:44.340 --> 00:55:46.820
in San Francisco. Okay, I'm
going to call you sacky. What's up,
729
00:55:46.940 --> 00:55:52.369
sacky? We notice the homeless guys
and in California tend to take their
730
00:55:52.489 --> 00:55:58.449
home cities name. So we've met
people like named Detroit, Chicago. Just
731
00:55:58.889 --> 00:56:04.519
it's funny. Wow, yeah,
that's interesting. So now I think interesting
732
00:56:04.559 --> 00:56:07.199
is all right. Way. Yeah, yeah, it's yeah, with my
733
00:56:07.639 --> 00:56:13.400
with my language, I like whatever
I'm saying to you. Now I have
734
00:56:13.519 --> 00:56:16.000
to translate in my hut to make
sure it sounds okay. So that can
735
00:56:16.079 --> 00:56:19.429
get a bit if the show and
sometimes I like does that makes sense?
736
00:56:19.590 --> 00:56:22.510
That is so wild. Yeah,
I noticed you said that a couple times
737
00:56:22.550 --> 00:56:25.030
and you're speaking right on point.
So I can't tell that I'm talking to
738
00:56:25.110 --> 00:56:29.829
a Welsh person as opposed to an
English person. I just hear the accent,
739
00:56:30.150 --> 00:56:32.739
but the words coming out or spot
on. Yeah, the English sounds
740
00:56:32.780 --> 00:56:37.260
fine. I think you're translating fine
on the fly. That's quit. Yeah,
741
00:56:38.260 --> 00:56:44.659
I try. So, okay,
just just to maybe wrap it up
742
00:56:44.699 --> 00:56:46.369
without being too negative. But so
say I was coming to town. Would
743
00:56:46.369 --> 00:56:51.409
you warn me about anything? Is
there anything shifty going on any part of
744
00:56:51.449 --> 00:56:53.929
the town? This sounds like a
very peaceful little hamlet that you probably if
745
00:56:54.010 --> 00:56:59.809
anything was amiss it would be dealt
with really quickly. But are there any
746
00:56:59.889 --> 00:57:06.000
like cranky old ladies that I should
not go by their house because this right,
747
00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:07.840
right, what's going on? Without
naming names, is there anything we
748
00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:15.349
should be okay, listen to this
facade. Okay, probably the most saying
749
00:57:15.550 --> 00:57:20.389
I would warn you about is,
especially if you can bound on the train
750
00:57:20.510 --> 00:57:22.670
right, if you're coming to my
village on my talent. Sorry, on
751
00:57:22.829 --> 00:57:28.389
a train. It will not stop
here and unless it's requested. Okay,
752
00:57:28.429 --> 00:57:31.739
okay, so got to pull the
ring. Yeah, so that's really important
753
00:57:31.780 --> 00:57:37.659
to know. Also, like I
said before, it is the longest time
754
00:57:37.699 --> 00:57:39.539
name in the okay, so if
you're planning on sending lefters, I'd learn
755
00:57:39.739 --> 00:57:47.610
to shorten that or something. They'll
planning to register your house here the end
756
00:57:47.650 --> 00:57:52.170
without so people. I genuinely think
that everybody I've met so far I've been
757
00:57:52.289 --> 00:57:57.250
incredible and you know, maybe they've
ad enough stable and day or whatever,
758
00:57:57.449 --> 00:58:04.119
but I don't think I'm not any
horrible evil people. People will look weird
759
00:58:04.199 --> 00:58:10.320
that you if you kind of I
don't know. If you, how can
760
00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:14.789
I? How should we dress?
Yeah, that's that's going to say.
761
00:58:14.789 --> 00:58:19.269
If you kind of dress, I
can't say normal. I'm probably the most
762
00:58:19.909 --> 00:58:22.909
normal person. So say if we
just roll into town wearing, you know,
763
00:58:22.269 --> 00:58:28.019
kind of newish denim jeans, you
know, not not holy, you
764
00:58:28.139 --> 00:58:32.179
know, kind of fashionable, some
sneakers and a Tshirt, we have fie.
765
00:58:32.820 --> 00:58:38.219
We don't tattoos. Oh, tattoos
like, I mean I've got a
766
00:58:38.380 --> 00:58:40.889
lot of that's it. Kay.
So I think tee is fine. I
767
00:58:42.010 --> 00:58:45.570
think it's a case of different people's
round here seem to know if you're not
768
00:58:45.730 --> 00:58:50.769
from around here and they don't judge
you what anything like that, but they
769
00:58:50.889 --> 00:58:57.039
will say without thinking about it,
and that is because they genuinely like,
770
00:58:57.199 --> 00:59:00.679
is that person from here? But
the clothes and stuff is very like genie.
771
00:59:01.360 --> 00:59:06.760
But they will probably look weirdbout you
if you were short when it's a
772
00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:09.349
little bit warm, because they know
it's not going to last. I feel
773
00:59:09.389 --> 00:59:15.269
like, yeah, that persons not
from here called out by the shorts,
774
00:59:15.389 --> 00:59:21.510
inappropriate wearing of shorts. That's the
the card right there. Yeah, we're
775
00:59:21.630 --> 00:59:24.420
short, you're not from around here. Where are you from boys, and
776
00:59:24.500 --> 00:59:29.380
then you open up your mouth telling
you yeah, did they're literally help this
777
00:59:29.420 --> 00:59:32.019
knock off say that someone's not from
here. But the not justimental not from
778
00:59:32.059 --> 00:59:36.380
round here anyway. And I,
like I said, I can't sweek for
779
00:59:36.739 --> 00:59:39.409
like the South and because I don't
know. But the only people are so
780
00:59:39.489 --> 00:59:45.849
nice. They don't always smile,
but they do always say high or have
781
00:59:46.090 --> 00:59:52.130
a quick kind of acknowledgement, like
yeah, quickly and not a little hand
782
00:59:52.170 --> 00:59:55.920
raised or something. I will popular. Oh yeah, that's the one.
783
00:59:57.199 --> 00:60:00.079
That's a very popular thing. And
now is which is yawn you know,
784
00:60:00.199 --> 00:60:04.199
I've said before die. Yeah,
yeah, well, this is yaw,
785
00:60:04.400 --> 00:60:07.389
so it's like half of great.
Yeah, it's like you're right me.
786
00:60:07.949 --> 00:60:10.989
Yeah, but then when you see
an all the person you be like that's
787
00:60:12.110 --> 00:60:16.590
you o care out and doll.
That's a little more respectful. Yeah.
788
00:60:16.710 --> 00:60:21.269
Yeah, yeah, have like little
more formal words for the old. Yeah,
789
00:60:21.389 --> 00:60:24.500
basic, it's a less what's up, dude and more how are you
790
00:60:24.579 --> 00:60:29.380
doing, sir? Yeah, yes, basically, yes, it's exactly that.
791
00:60:30.460 --> 00:60:34.219
Is that part of whales predominant?
Not Predominantly, but is that part
792
00:60:34.260 --> 00:60:42.570
of whales? Mixed races or predominantly
Caucasian? We are many Caucasian around here.
793
00:60:44.170 --> 00:60:47.809
However, there is more difficultured people
to make because we up the university
794
00:60:47.889 --> 00:60:53.400
as well, and it's mainly because
of the university. So, like I
795
00:60:53.480 --> 00:60:58.000
mean, I said, these do
that. Yeah, yeah, which is
796
00:60:58.199 --> 00:61:00.239
which is brilliant, you know,
while I think so, because I mean,
797
00:61:00.280 --> 00:61:05.829
like most of my friends are Chinese
now or like Spanish as well,
798
00:61:05.989 --> 00:61:10.349
which is pretty incredible. Yeah,
it's great to get to know other like
799
00:61:10.630 --> 00:61:19.139
minded educated folk that are non Caucasian. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Yeah,
800
00:61:19.300 --> 00:61:22.300
and I am. It's in my
daughter school as well. Were getting
801
00:61:23.699 --> 00:61:30.980
more families I mean my little girls
best friend is he's think. Is He
802
00:61:31.099 --> 00:61:36.929
from Pakistan? I think, I
mean I he's like a little Pakistani friend
803
00:61:36.969 --> 00:61:39.730
when I was a kid to his
name was Ushuo and it was the I
804
00:61:39.769 --> 00:61:43.929
learned the strangest stuff over his house. Every time I go there it smelled
805
00:61:44.050 --> 00:61:46.840
so interesting. Their customs were so
interesting, like wow, this is really
806
00:61:46.880 --> 00:61:50.239
cool. I feel like it went
to another country every time I went to
807
00:61:50.360 --> 00:61:53.960
US shoes house. Yeah, I
really like he owns the shop and where
808
00:61:54.400 --> 00:61:59.239
I used to live the moment.
Sorry, his mom and they just some.
809
00:62:00.159 --> 00:62:01.949
They're just incredible, Jeremy. But
yeah, we are getting more mobile.
810
00:62:01.949 --> 00:62:06.429
Like I said, it's manic because
of the university. Yeah, yeah,
811
00:62:06.550 --> 00:62:08.030
something has to draw them the otherwise
it sounds like you're so far out
812
00:62:08.070 --> 00:62:10.989
in the in the way backs nobody
would ever find you on this they pulled
813
00:62:12.070 --> 00:62:15.710
the train stop. It's really interesting. You have a town that you have
814
00:62:15.860 --> 00:62:19.900
so few people you could literally fit
them all into the gymnasium of the college
815
00:62:19.980 --> 00:62:23.579
and see everybody in town at once. Yeah, yeah, I was always
816
00:62:23.579 --> 00:62:27.340
thought that that was amazing. That's
why I lived in a small town like
817
00:62:27.420 --> 00:62:30.570
that in a state called Louisiana down
on the south part of America or United
818
00:62:30.570 --> 00:62:36.329
States, and the problem with that
I had was that the cops knew that.
819
00:62:36.409 --> 00:62:38.130
The police knew that too. They
knew it. Yeah, town,
820
00:62:38.210 --> 00:62:42.690
and they kind of knew where you
were all the time, even if you
821
00:62:42.730 --> 00:62:45.719
didn't want them to. And I'm
like this is too small for me,
822
00:62:45.800 --> 00:62:50.079
because I'm I'm no criminal, but
I also just have a thing about authority
823
00:62:50.360 --> 00:62:53.079
just always poking around, and in
the south part of America there, I
824
00:62:53.159 --> 00:62:57.840
mean south part of the United States, they're just looking for people to get
825
00:62:57.840 --> 00:63:02.590
into trouble. You know, have
you come across any movies or movie sets
826
00:63:04.750 --> 00:63:12.190
or movies being shot and your part
of Wales? Yeah, Merlin, Merlin,
827
00:63:12.349 --> 00:63:16.219
it's cold. Oh Gosh, what
this name? Now? Wait a
828
00:63:16.260 --> 00:63:22.420
minute, was that the one with
Sam Neil? Oh Gosh, I'm gonna
829
00:63:22.260 --> 00:63:24.780
it sounds true. No, I
don't watch much. Yeah, I don't
830
00:63:24.820 --> 00:63:30.130
watch much, Sally. I'm quite
sad about that. Now you're doing right.
831
00:63:31.289 --> 00:63:36.650
Yeah, but I think it was
Merlin they were most of that was
832
00:63:36.730 --> 00:63:39.969
filmed near where I live, like
round the corner where I live. That
833
00:63:40.130 --> 00:63:45.199
sounds amazing. Then you must live
in really pretty place. Yeah, I'm
834
00:63:45.199 --> 00:63:46.960
sure that's I look like this is
as well. I can't, I just
835
00:63:47.039 --> 00:63:51.159
can't think on the top of my
head. And what are the films that
836
00:63:51.440 --> 00:63:55.510
was? You still have that feel
of old that that old feet. What
837
00:63:55.630 --> 00:64:00.469
do you call it? God,
I'm trying. Medieval Times, and not
838
00:64:00.630 --> 00:64:06.469
in particularly where I am now,
but the other the other county where I
839
00:64:06.550 --> 00:64:11.059
used to live, in the other
place, and still have some of the
840
00:64:11.099 --> 00:64:15.780
houses that was standing from like one
thousand nine hundred and sixty something like that,
841
00:64:15.139 --> 00:64:18.739
which they've made into a two this
subtraction, which is pretty your sort
842
00:64:18.820 --> 00:64:21.340
on. We still have the quarries
as well, because we did. We
843
00:64:21.460 --> 00:64:26.769
have a lot of working quarries,
Rad the like pretty yeah, they're pretty
844
00:64:26.769 --> 00:64:30.409
awesome to climb. Little shouldn't way. What are they mining for out there
845
00:64:30.449 --> 00:64:40.199
in the quarries? And slates for
building houses, building roofs. But yeah,
846
00:64:40.239 --> 00:64:44.039
it's all cutting slates and stuffin you
can literally go into a place in
847
00:64:44.239 --> 00:64:48.199
chamber as to cut the slates and
look at the old what they used to
848
00:64:48.280 --> 00:64:54.150
go through and yeah, it's amazing
as I highly recommend that you go there,
849
00:64:54.230 --> 00:64:58.269
and it's free as well. So
that's awesome. WHO's famous over there?
850
00:64:58.510 --> 00:65:00.909
Who Do you? You said you
don't watch much to tell you,
851
00:65:00.030 --> 00:65:05.110
but do you like our American people
that are famous, still famous over there?
852
00:65:08.659 --> 00:65:15.099
Like who's a famous actor to you? I Love Jim Carrey. Oh
853
00:65:15.139 --> 00:65:17.820
yeah, he's one of her favorites, the American. He's Canadian but he's
854
00:65:17.980 --> 00:65:21.090
I think he got famous for most
people think he's American at this point,
855
00:65:21.130 --> 00:65:26.769
but he's Canadian. He is great, he's do this is how useless I
856
00:65:26.849 --> 00:65:31.289
am with Philms. Have you seen
Andy and me? I think that's what
857
00:65:31.369 --> 00:65:36.920
it's called. No, it's a
Jim Carrey made a movie about an actor
858
00:65:38.000 --> 00:65:42.400
called Andy Kaufman after Andy Kaufman passed
away. Oh, man on the moon.
859
00:65:42.760 --> 00:65:48.480
Yeah, so in Jim made a
documentary of himself while he made the
860
00:65:48.599 --> 00:65:53.349
movie man in the Moon, and
he stayed in that character and he stayed
861
00:65:53.389 --> 00:65:56.469
in the character and he carried around
this little camera and you see the like
862
00:65:56.590 --> 00:66:00.030
the movie company call it's like yeah, you got to stop filming your documentary
863
00:66:00.110 --> 00:66:01.590
and he's all, fuck these guys, I'm going to keep filming. So,
864
00:66:02.070 --> 00:66:09.420
yeah, Andy and me is Jim
Carrey's super met, a documentary of
865
00:66:09.500 --> 00:66:14.019
him filming a movie about Andy Kaufman. It's called so if you're not,
866
00:66:14.539 --> 00:66:19.170
if you're not watching much telly?
Are you reading more, Kim? Yeah,
867
00:66:19.210 --> 00:66:26.570
I read a lot. I do
watch telly. I just I quite
868
00:66:26.610 --> 00:66:30.530
like my son big phones. So
like Nice, I tends. Yeah,
869
00:66:30.650 --> 00:66:33.440
I send so much like walking that
the Foto Loki. That thinks AL and.
870
00:66:34.440 --> 00:66:38.679
But I used to be a big
film watch, a movie watcher.
871
00:66:38.920 --> 00:66:43.360
But I do read a law and
yeah, yeah, I mean particular,
872
00:66:44.480 --> 00:66:49.030
particular what do you call it?
I'm the last four words here. Author,
873
00:66:50.550 --> 00:66:58.869
not author. Subject. Yeah,
I'm very much into selfdevelopments, where
874
00:66:58.869 --> 00:67:02.260
I say if that's on a business
level or personal level. So I do
875
00:67:03.019 --> 00:67:10.059
read a lot of like Brennie Brown
was, the friends and that kind of
876
00:67:10.139 --> 00:67:15.610
thing. I'm not really into my
was it that word friction? Yeah,
877
00:67:16.409 --> 00:67:21.170
I'm the same way. Yeah,
yeah, I cannot. I'm not big
878
00:67:21.210 --> 00:67:26.210
on fiction either. I have a
hard time reading fiction myself. Yeah,
879
00:67:26.690 --> 00:67:30.079
but then saying that as well,
with the books and one of the films
880
00:67:30.119 --> 00:67:33.960
that was film near me was King
Arthur. Sorry, not my lane.
881
00:67:34.119 --> 00:67:39.119
I think merling was as well,
but King Arthur. So I instantly wanted
882
00:67:39.519 --> 00:67:44.000
to read a book up up King
Arthur. It was a bit weird Iddula
883
00:67:44.510 --> 00:67:48.789
in the end. But so,
yeah, I do try. Yeah,
884
00:67:49.110 --> 00:67:53.710
but I love reading. Reading is
huge for me. So, I mean
885
00:67:53.869 --> 00:67:57.389
you've heard the hipop the right is
huge. Yeah, well, some of
886
00:67:57.789 --> 00:68:01.340
yeah, some of that one was
filmed the a's as well. I can't
887
00:68:01.340 --> 00:68:06.820
remember exactly what part. I'm pretty
sure some of it was from Pembrokeshire,
888
00:68:06.820 --> 00:68:12.420
which is the south, I think. Okay, I mean, yeah,
889
00:68:12.500 --> 00:68:14.769
I'm so. As I found out
about that, I was like, okay,
890
00:68:14.809 --> 00:68:16.529
yeah, I need to read a
little bit, but that's like huge
891
00:68:16.810 --> 00:68:20.210
lot of hyposters in that, like
a lot of long Oh yeah, they
892
00:68:20.289 --> 00:68:24.250
sucking you into there. Once you
get stuck on that, they'll keep you
893
00:68:24.289 --> 00:68:27.520
reading forever. Like Star Wars,
you just may keep making books after books,
894
00:68:27.560 --> 00:68:31.359
hiring new authors to write new storylines. It's crazy. That's anohing about
895
00:68:31.520 --> 00:68:36.880
star wars as well. As the
guy who played and Das Raider was actually
896
00:68:38.119 --> 00:68:42.909
from. I think it was press
Staton, which is about half an hour
897
00:68:42.949 --> 00:68:45.909
away from me. Okay, that's
pretty awesome. Yeah, that was pretty
898
00:68:45.909 --> 00:68:51.390
awesome. I don't know if it
was. It's definitely not James Earl Jones.
899
00:68:53.550 --> 00:68:56.260
Yeah, it's. If it was, the old original actor was a
900
00:68:56.260 --> 00:69:00.020
guy named David Prouss who I think
just passed away like last year. Yeah,
901
00:69:00.340 --> 00:69:04.979
we have school. Yeah, it's
Tall Dude, you know. Like
902
00:69:05.060 --> 00:69:10.810
I said, I don't know exactly
who it was. Yeah, sorry,
903
00:69:11.090 --> 00:69:14.770
I'll us. got a boot me
now because I can't remember what something like
904
00:69:14.930 --> 00:69:16.770
a long hey, I stumbled over
all my words too, and I'm still
905
00:69:16.810 --> 00:69:21.609
here. Yeah, well, yeah, doing will I do? I do
906
00:69:21.729 --> 00:69:26.520
it every show, John can attest. Yeah, this is one of our
907
00:69:26.640 --> 00:69:30.119
more smooth, smoothly flowing shows,
because normally what we do gary and I
908
00:69:30.199 --> 00:69:33.600
get together and we just talked about
stuff generally. We have ideas of things
909
00:69:33.640 --> 00:69:36.079
we want to talk about. We
also have catching up to do from the
910
00:69:36.119 --> 00:69:39.829
last week because we're friends and we
haven't seen each other for a week.
911
00:69:40.310 --> 00:69:44.989
So we start talking, we record
and then somewhere in there there's maybe ten
912
00:69:45.069 --> 00:69:47.149
minutes of a cool conversation that I'll
just cut out, like yeah, that's
913
00:69:47.189 --> 00:69:50.869
fine, that's a podcast. So
we just tried to keep it very casual.
914
00:69:51.109 --> 00:69:55.539
Well, I do other podcasts that
are way more formatted and, you
915
00:69:55.659 --> 00:69:57.819
know, kind of traditional, but
this one we just have fun with.
916
00:69:57.979 --> 00:70:00.539
But you know, part of the
format of this one is like well,
917
00:70:00.779 --> 00:70:03.619
let's just connect people from around the
world. So we've got folks in Brazil,
918
00:70:04.060 --> 00:70:08.850
New Zealand, yourself and there's one
other country. I think it was
919
00:70:08.850 --> 00:70:13.449
another English person, like England proper, but so far that's for I'm like,
920
00:70:13.529 --> 00:70:15.890
I should be a good start.
We'll see if this idea works and
921
00:70:15.409 --> 00:70:18.170
by all means, you're totally welcome
to come back if you ever want to
922
00:70:18.210 --> 00:70:21.760
promote anything that you're working on or
just check in and let if something changes
923
00:70:21.800 --> 00:70:26.640
in your town and you got some
big local news you want to share,
924
00:70:27.119 --> 00:70:30.359
like tell us. That would be
awesome. That'd be a blast. Thank
925
00:70:30.439 --> 00:70:32.600
you. Yes, that'd be an
almo. Thank you. I think is
926
00:70:32.600 --> 00:70:36.869
amazing what you guys did. Actually, it's like this has been. It's
927
00:70:36.949 --> 00:70:42.510
been amazing what we I was inspired. Honestly, this is a very new
928
00:70:42.550 --> 00:70:45.149
idea. I've just about two weeks
ago I was looking through Hbo Max,
929
00:70:45.270 --> 00:70:49.979
You Know Home box office HBO,
and they had a document docu series called
930
00:70:50.340 --> 00:70:58.500
our town, and it's just slow, kind of methodical, beautifully photography documentary
931
00:70:58.619 --> 00:71:01.899
that just goes through the random little
American towns and ask people about stuff and
932
00:71:01.939 --> 00:71:04.649
I'm like, Oh yeah, this
is kind of fascinating to watch. So
933
00:71:05.010 --> 00:71:09.569
I'm like, let's expand this in
audio format and this talk to people from
934
00:71:09.569 --> 00:71:14.170
around the world and get their input
it without getting to yeah, without like
935
00:71:14.289 --> 00:71:16.529
and I think we did a good
job of avoiding politics. So that's nice,
936
00:71:17.170 --> 00:71:23.239
because politics doesn't translate well to other
countries necessarily, and they definitely are
937
00:71:23.399 --> 00:71:26.279
dated. So a year from now
no one's going to want to hear about
938
00:71:27.079 --> 00:71:30.960
the last year's exactly. Tis.
That's so, and it's ready unlikely,
939
00:71:31.039 --> 00:71:33.750
though, beach is going to disappear. Jo, I mean right, right,
940
00:71:33.829 --> 00:71:40.949
exactly. Oh, spender wilding,
Spencer wilding, is that Darth Vader?
941
00:71:42.590 --> 00:71:46.220
That was I'm pretty shows out with
somebody to play staff vader. Okay,
942
00:71:46.260 --> 00:71:51.100
cool, look for you figured it
out, because I was like,
943
00:71:51.180 --> 00:71:55.659
yeah, I'm curious. Now that's
a new name I haven't heard before.
944
00:71:55.739 --> 00:71:57.659
That's why I'm glad she came up
with that. I'm going to have to
945
00:71:57.739 --> 00:72:00.930
Google that see what's up. What's
Spencer wilding character? Yeah, not better
946
00:72:01.010 --> 00:72:03.010
mind. I might be completely wrong. Okay, but you need to let
947
00:72:03.050 --> 00:72:08.810
me know. Spencer wilding is definitely
probably a person and he did something.
948
00:72:09.050 --> 00:72:14.010
So we'll see what's up with this
character. Yeah, he's too shady.
949
00:72:14.050 --> 00:72:18.359
Don't tell you one. Yeah,
all right, can well, it's been
950
00:72:18.399 --> 00:72:21.800
a pleasure. Thanks for your time
and you have my email information. You're
951

reason if there's anything I could help you
952
00:72:25.720 --> 00:72:30.109

953
00:72:30.109 --> 00:72:31.430
much, but if you need my
help on Linkedin and want to meet people
954
00:72:32.149 --> 00:72:35.710

You good to go get yeah, it's
956
00:72:40.909 --> 00:72:44.619
been great. I love it.
This is awesome, cool being. I
957
00:72:44.659 --> 00:72:46.260
remembered to say, like coming for
a coffee. If you have a down
958
00:72:46.300 --> 00:72:49.300
this way, just don't come on
train. Well, I'd think. I
959
00:72:49.420 --> 00:72:53.659
want the right and I sit up
by the conductor and make sure he stops
960
00:72:53.699 --> 00:72:57.859
where he needs to stop's a good
point, and go puy. I love
961
00:72:57.939 --> 00:73:00.010
the train and that sounds like a
fun way to visit that part of the
962
00:73:00.050 --> 00:73:02.130
countryside as well. Oh all right, Johnny, let's have to train and
963
00:73:02.569 --> 00:73:05.529
visit her place and have coffee.
There we go. It's a plan.
964
00:73:05.770 --> 00:73:09.609
So it's great. All right,
thank care, Kim Gary. I will
965
00:73:09.649 --> 00:73:14.560
check you with you in a few
minutes. That was pretty fun. Right.
966
00:73:15.239 --> 00:73:18.920
So our next trip we're going to
go around to the southwest coast,
967
00:73:19.000 --> 00:73:24.640
the Jurassic coast of England, and
we're going to talk with D Laura.
968
00:73:25.279 --> 00:73:30.189
So when we get talking with her
we kind of digress way off from what
969
00:73:30.390 --> 00:73:32.829
her town is about to what she
does. I think you'll find her work
970
00:73:32.949 --> 00:73:36.149
fascinating. So a big shout out
to Kim Kim, thanks so much for
971
00:73:36.310 --> 00:73:41.149
describing North Wales to us and how
life is like in your little town.
972
00:73:41.859 --> 00:73:46.500
And, as always, thanks to
clean feed at clean feed dotnet for hooking
973
00:73:46.500 --> 00:73:53.500
up Gary and myself with such fantastic
audio nationwide and now around the world.
974
00:73:54.020 --> 00:73:58.489
I look forward to talking to you
guys soon, and that's coming right up.
975
00:73:58.930 --> 00:74:06.170

wall.
