Okay guys, welcome back. Welcome back indeed. Feeling good, feeling great. How are you?

One thing I will say is over the last four years, you and I have got so in sync. It's absolutely unreal. Even when we're doing like the ad reads and stuff. Yeah, true. There's times where like we'll decide to take like a paragraph each. Yeah. And then sometimes I'll just randomly stop in the middle of the paragraph and you'll immediately pick it up. Yeah. It's juicy. It's connected. There's not, no one's doing connections and stuff like that. Right. So guys, it is time for our Scoopity Doop update. So,

Week one is complete. Week one is complete, yeah. Of our Scoopy eight. So it's the S&G Super 8 Challenge, which if you're new here is an eight week fitness challenge that the team are doing here where we all have our scoop bands and we are measuring across three different factors, strain, recovery and sleep. So let's go around and see how everyone's week has been.

I'll start. Go on. My body was a sacrificial lamb this week. Yeah. I gave everything to the iron. Pause. I gave it all, bro. I haven't trained this hard in fuck knows how long. Gang. Either my whoop is working the absolute worst out of everyone's or it's working the best because...

I've not been able to break 15 strain. I don't think I've got above 15 strain once. And the other day, I was telling Ram yesterday, the other day, what was it? Sunday, I went in with my boy Josh. We physically tried to kill ourselves. Physically, because I think the day before, Ellis got 19. And I was like, I'm just not living like this. We went in there. I killed, killed, killed myself and came out with 13.6. I was fucking pissed off.

I was seriously, seriously pissed off. I think I said to you, Manu, I think I lost connection for like a little bit because it measured my entire session. I did like an hour and 45. It measured it in two separate sessions. So it cut the session off midway through for one of them. And then I had to like pick up and start again. Anyway, apart from that, I'm locked in. Gang. Yeah. I'm really happy. Gang. I'm really, really, really happy and really competitive. The other day I was looking at the stats and

- Left my house at nine o'clock in the night to run. - Nice, I saw that actually. - Yeah, I know he did. 'Cause this fucker did it the day after. He did it the day after. Because yeah, I was in third place and I was like, I'm not going to sleep in third place. So I left it as late as I could so no one could see it and then go and do it. Went for a two mile run. I haven't ran in years, you man. - Yeah, clocked it. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Fair play.

i felt great yeah this week i feel sore yeah i feel sore in places i haven't felt because i don't run my achilles is so sore um i did the assault bike the other day my quads mertz training is much like my like because again because i'm trying to get that strain i'm training to failure a lot more yeah and so i'm sore sore sore sore sore sore sore but like it really does tap you in because

You can't push it too much. And I'm like, sometimes like if I know I'm training like six or seven in the evening because I'm busy in the day, I'm like, fuck, well, I can't have a pre-workout because that means I'm not gonna sleep and that's gonna fuck up my sleep and all this other stuff. And then like I've said to you yesterday, sometimes if I'm waking up in the night,

it keeps me awake because I'm like, fuck, fuck, fuck, I'm awake, I'm awake. No, no, no, no, no, I'm awake. Go back to sleep. And then I can't get back to sleep. You're hyper-focused. Yeah, I'm too focused on it. I'm loving it though. I'm really, really loving it. So that's me, I'm done. Gang, for me, I feel like the love of the competition has made me pull out all the stops. Even though I've had a busy week, obviously I was away on the weekend, but...

Yeah, man, it's been really, really good. I went to, I'm one to, when I'm away, not usually train, but I was like, let me take my gym shit with me because I can't be coming fourth or third. Two days off is crazy. Yeah, two days off is crazy. I think I speak for the whole team when I say we couldn't be happier. You only got three hours of sleep that night.

- Did I, you flow mate? - We couldn't be happier to wake up before a minute. - I said it last week, underdogs are the underdogs. - Yeah, boy. - Your sleep's been an issue for everyone. It's been pissing everyone off. - See, my recovery has been up. My training has been good. I'm training tonight after,

after we record and yeah man it's been really really good I feel like I'm pushing myself in different ways and you said before we started recording the other thing right the other activity I was doing laundry the other day bro just folding shit and he said oh your your flooper's detected an activity log it in or whatever I was like

- Cool. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Cool. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It detects everything, bro. So I'm here for everything. Everything I do, I'm putting it down. I went to like the sauna, steam room, all that. It's got all of that in the recovery too. I added that on there as well. So I've been, literally everything I do. When we played table tennis yesterday, slide that in there as well. - Oh, it does sauna in the recovery? - Yes, bro. - Yeah, if you go in recovery, you can select it.

- Oh, I didn't know that. - Ice bath, saunas, loads of stuff. - And that will add it to your recovery percentage? - Yes, bro. - Oh, so I've been saunering for no reason then? - Bro. - I've been in the sauna for no reason. I didn't even know it was a thing. - You're not looking at the app properly. - Yeah, I'm not being focused. - No wonder my recovery's so down. - You're not focused, bro. - Fuck, all right, say less, say less. - Even when I napped on the day when I had three hours sleep, there's got a nap thing there. I pressed nap and I napped. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It caught my nap by accident. Did you know it catches that? - Nah. - Bro, this bitch told me I napped. - Oh, sorry. - I napped

And it did it to the minute you man. I napped last week on like Wednesday or whatever, bro. And I woke up and it was like nap detected from 1:18 to 2:23. Bang, processed that. - It's amazing. - Yeah, it's really good. - Yeah, I'm locked in. Ellis, what are you saying? - It's good, man. It took a couple of days to get my head around it. Yeah, I like to pride myself on like working hard, like fucking in the gym and stuff. But Jesus, to keep up with you lot,

I had to go insane. Like when I was like, my strain is just not matching up. My strain was staying at like seven or eight or something like that. And yours was like 12, 13, all this stuff. I've had to go absolutely ham.

That's when I got that 20 strain on the assault bike. That was ridiculous. Yeah, that was... That was ridiculous. I would die. That was the worst day I did assault bike. Went mad on that. I went for a run at like 10 at night as well. Jesus. And I'm battered. At least you got home and just fell to the floor. When I saw it, I've never been so angry. I was like, what the fuck is going on? Yeah, man. But it took a while to... I'm still understanding recovery, though.

- I'm glad you brought that up because yours today isn't making sense. Let's pull that up, shall we? 'Cause someone's got an 80% recovery off about five hours sleep. - No, that's like 91. - It's 91. - It's 91. - 91 recovery. - Five hours sleep. - And I got five hours sleep. So this is the thing, it's not always measured on sleep. It's a weird system. From what I've read up, I've been trying to do my research on it. From what I've read up, it's based on your heart rate. So how rested you are.

what your rest and heart rate is. So the last few days I've been like trying to relax more, taking baths, trying to like do a bit of breath work and stuff. And that's helped a little bit. So I don't think it all is like sleep. - Fair play. - It's weird. - It is weird. - There's a lot to it. - There's a lot to it, man. I'm happy you man said that I can actually process stuff in the recovery sections. - Yeah, you can. - Because yeah, every day you man, your recoveries are being higher and higher and higher and mine is

always the same between like 48 and 56 i've never got higher and you man are getting higher and higher you got 64 the other day which fucking pissed me off you get 80 for a joke you've woken up in the 80s today and i'm just i'm staying at the same level yeah it's been pissing me off i don't understand recovery i don't know how to increase my i'm reading it now it's right here but i don't know how to improve my recovery it's heavily linked to sleep as well obviously i'm on the average in

just underneath seven hours. I knew I was gonna take a L on sleep. So I was fine with that from the beginning. But I thought, I made an assumption that on my strain days, training days, go hard, train as hard as possible, get a strain up. And on my rest days, take advantage of resting

and making sure that my strain is low hopefully my recovery will be up nah it needs to be strained every day like I'm thinking my strain keeping my strain down at like 5, 6 whatever doing nothing that's cool nah nah nah recovery or it needs to be active rest basically so you need to be

these 20 minute runs at 9pm at night those sneaky ones that's what actually you need to be doing and I still don't know how it links in with recovery the algorithm is it's not making sense to me it is a weird one the fact that strain isn't directly correlated with calories burned

- Yeah. - You man, when I was on a, I've been on a, like an 11, 12 strain and had like 2,500 calories burnt. I'm seeing some of you man on like a 17 with like 800 calories. And I'm like, I'm dying. - Yeah. - I'm dying for this and it's not paying dividends. - What's the leader board?

- Because obviously we have three tabs, the sleep, recovery, rest. How is the leaderboard calculated? Is the average of the three? - So this is what I've been doing so far. And Ellis said he had a pitch and we'll work it from there. So what I've been doing to calculate it, I've just clocked, I'm not actually, I was winning and I'm not winning anymore by my thing.

I was doing a point system. So I've been going to the monthly tab. Okay. Yep. Which is our whole journey so far. And I've been doing a point system for all of us. So if you're in first place on a leaderboard, you get four points. Second, you get three. Third, you get two. Last, you get one point. Should the point system not be across the week, not the month? We're only doing it for two months. All right. Let's do it that way then. It gives a better chance as well if we, you know, to fight for first place each week. And we...

- Record each week as well. Just makes more sense to go weekly. - Okay. - Yeah. - I wonder why that's your suggestion, Mr. Last Place. - I'm just saying. - Are you gonna tabulate? - Yeah. - Say less. - So we're gonna do week by week. Yeah, all in agreement week by week. - Yeah. - Yeah. So week one. - So Ellis strain four, recovery one, so five and sleep three, so eight for Ellis. - Ellis is week one, so.

Ellis 8 Rem Are you doing- are you just putting score or are you putting the strain recovery thingy section and just score? Just score. Okay cool Rem 3 + 2 + 2 7 Me 2 + 4 6 + 1 7 You 1 + 3 4 + 4 8

- So is it 8, 8, 7, 7? - It is 8, 8, 7, 7. So me and Ellis are tied first place after week one. So let's catch up next week to see how we're doing. - Yeah. - Yeah, man. - Cool. - Okay. - Nice. - Scary hours. - Nice. Well, I'm saying my ting says first out of four on the ting. So I'm just saying anyway, moving on next time. - Your ting says what? - First out of four on it. On the community tab. - Today. - For what?

for today daily strain yeah for today yeah for today why did you do this you go no one's done anything i ain't anything today bro because it says over again you've been folding clothes again i like doing laundry bro yeah bro it doesn't make any sense it doesn't make any sense but it comes up on my app and it says you it's detected a workout detected time yeah i'm logging everything bro that's jarring me good have you noticed as well me and rem were talking about it

With weights and cardio, the strain is loads higher on cardio. Of course it is. You can pump weights like fuck. The strain...

the top strain i've ever got on weights was like eight cardio i've got like 20. of course yeah most i think yeah yeah yeah it's weird how it because like you know i want to be training weights but it's like it's not getting my strain doesn't it so i have to just do yeah i've been doing i've been doing both so um i've been doing cardio 10 minutes of cardio at the beginning weights and then like half an hour cardio at the end which is not my style yeah but i'm feeling good for it though okay i'm feeling really really good for a typical style

weights and go home bro no cardio at all I'll warm up for maybe five minutes something like that but yeah I haven't been doing cardio in time bro um weights and go home is the one weights and go home bro yeah I've got stuff to do um but no I'm happy for it and it's also making me more intense with my weight training as well because I want to keep the strain up like um

time between sets and stuff, like quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick. It's been good, man. I'm really, really enjoying it. And I'm intrigued to see how it goes because like, it's all well and good week one. It's easy to like lock in week one and like try your best. Week five? Couple of men are gonna start. Yeah, who's really in it? Yeah, yeah. Who's really on it? So to be fair, it probably is better that we're doing it week by week. Yeah. Because...

- Then it stops you from losing motivation. Because yeah, after three weeks in, if there is like a clear gap that you can't catch up, you'll just stop. - Oh yeah, as well. How's your diet been? The only reason why I say is because that actually affects your recovery. 'Cause last week you said on the episode, like, oh, it doesn't measure diet, so it will be all right. It does. Your diet matters to your recovery and your hydration.

- Interesting. - It could be your diet or your hydration. - Very interesting. - That does count towards it. - In what sense? Does it say what foods you should be- - I don't know, it just somehow monitors it. It knows if you're not drinking enough or eating well. I don't know how it does that. - Oh yeah, it does. - Good nutrition.

- Hydrating properly. - Midday naps. - Meditating and breath work. - Circadian rhythm aligned. - Oh, fantastic. - Yeah. - All right, man. - There's a lot of stuff that goes into it, man. - Bro, I didn't know that. I'm on it now though. I'm adding all these 'cause I'm going to the sauna today. So I'll add that in there, man. That's gang. No fibs, guys.

- No fibs. - It can tell anyway. - It will tell. - Yeah, it will. - You can't fake. - You can't, you can't lie. - Yeah, you can't fake that. - I mean, even if you do type it in or let's say I put sauna and I'm not in a sauna and I stop it, I don't think it would match up with. - No. - If your heart rate don't change. - Exactly, it's gonna tell 'cause I'm gonna be boiling if I'm in a sauna. - Yeah. - When we sweat and losing burning calories. - Also, it reads skin temp. - Oh, okay, gang. - So, if you say you're in a sauna and you ain't, I'm just gonna call your ass out. - All right, bet, bet, bet. I'm here for that. I'm here for that, all right. - This is genius. - Mm-hmm. - Sick. - Gang.

- I'm just not doing it. - McDonald's, you're taking the amount of money that you only deserve. - You're not having 56p. - You're not, you're just not. - Yeah, you're not having it bro. Piss off. Just let me pay what I wanna pay. And don't make me press no thanks. Do you wanna give the rest to charity and it says no thanks? - No thanks, so I feel like an asshole. - Yeah, so I'm the dickhead. - Yeah, don't offer that ting in the first place. - Yeah bro. And the thing is, that's how I know these shops are on it. If you go to WH Smiths and any service station, they press no thanks for you. - Oh is it? - Bro.

- Oh yes, they do. - Yeah, as soon as the card machine comes up, they reach over and press cancel. - Yes, yes, they do. - I don't know if anyone who's heading up WH Smith's watches this show, chat to your boys. Your employees instinctively hate charity. I'm just saying it. I've not been to a WH Smith's where they didn't press cancel for me. They hate charity. - That's jokes. - It's part of your culture. - What hill are you willing to die on? Apple juice over orange juice always.

Do you know how many people I saw say that? What's your preference? Apple juice. Yeah. I know you're an OJ goer. I love OJ, but I also love apple juice. I don't think I have a preference. I think I have a preference on a day. I can't remember the brand. There's a brand that does. Fuck. It begins with C, I think.

Coppel maybe, something like that. - Coppela. - Coppela? - Coppela, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Coppela? - They do that cloudy apple. - Cloudy apple and apple and elderflower? - Yeah, I've never had the apple and elderflower. - Fuck! - Yeah. - The apple and elderflower, bro? - Yeah. - Ha, ha, nah. - Okay. - Nah, nah, nah. - Okay, okay, okay. - Used to start fights in my house the amount of stuff my brother used to drink it at.

My dad was livid. - They're expensive as well. - Yeah, expensive. My brother used to back that shit. - They probably only do about, like if you get the big one, it's like three glassfuls and that's it. - Yeah, it's done bro. - Maybe three and a half, it's done. - Bro, it's like fucking crack. And it makes you thirstier. - Yeah, it's amazing. - It's unreal, apple juice all day. Apart from that LA orange juice we had.

- That was silly. - $6 a pop? - $12 a pop? - $12 a pop? - Excuse me? - $12 a glass? - Wow. - Fantastic. - Liquid nut, you man. Unicorn jizz in this glass, you man. - It was sensational. - Oh my God. - Wow. - I would have sold a kidney for that. - I need to know who's squeezing them backstage. - Yeah. - I need to know who's squeezing that bitch backstage. - They're squeezing it with their cheeks. There's a BBL back there just squeezing oranges.

Fucking hell. Incredible stuff. Yeah, for you, man, I don't know if you live in LA, you need to head over to, what is it? The Edition? The Edition. West Hollywood Edition. West Hollywood Edition. There's a restaurant downstairs. Best OJ. Going. Steak and eggs. Steak and eggs slaps. Was it the French toast you had as well? The fucking French. Slaps. That was a heart attack on a plate. Yeah, yeah. Wow. That brioche was fat.

- That bitch cost like $300 a breakfast. - Yeah, it did. - It was the most expensive restaurant I've ever been to in my life. - It was incredible. - Yeah, it was incredible. - The addition, you might know what you're doing. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. The fact they took that money from us on day one and we went back on day two and ordered the same shit. - Same shit? - That's crazy. - Woo! - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When the bill came, we were like, "Oh, we ran it back." - Yeah, fuck, okay. Wow, what ill am I willing to die on?

I'd rather have a man who isn't my man, but is my man than be in a relationship. - Say that all again. - I'd rather have a man that isn't really my man, but is my man than be in a relationship. - Okay, okay, okay. - That power struggle. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I can't tell you not to church, but how dare you. - How dare you. - It keeps that bitch excited.

- Ah, that's jokes. That's jokes. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. That's a good one. That's a really fucking good one. - It keeps the bitch excited. - That's funny. - Oh God. - What hill are you willing to die on? Rose should have taken turns with Jack on that door.

I'm not even gonna scream it. I'm not trying to break microphones today. - Facts. - How? Who does this bitch think she was? - Yeah, how dare she? He froze to death. - Get off the door! - There was space, bro. Let's alternate. - Bro, he was hanging on that bitch for what seemed like hours. I don't know how they did the editing. It seemed like hours and she just watched him freeze to death. - Yeah. - And then just sing. - Just let him go. Just sing. Get him on there.

Do you love me or not? Put him on your back or something. Facts. Because if I was on that joint, you'd be on my back too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Question though. Oh God. What if, this is actually, this is what I know is mad. If it was me and you. Yeah. Titanic's just hit the berg. Me and you are out there floating on the door and just, it just so happened you landed on the door or you caught the door first and I'm hanging on. Mm-hmm.

I'm shaking and shivering. - Yeah. - We don't know when we're gonna get saved. - Yeah. - Shaking and shivering. And I'm like, "Fab, please, please, please. I need to like jump in the water for a bit. Let me get on the door." You put your foot in and feel truly how cold that is. Are you letting me on the door? - Question. - Yeah. - No, no, no, no, no. Genuine question, genuine question, genuine question. - I'm gonna scream. - No, no, genuine question. Do we both have life jackets? - No one's got life jackets.

- It's detrimental. - Yeah, no one's got life jackets. And when I was like, you've never felt cold like that. - And the door's only big enough for one? - Yeah. - I need the full scenario. I need the pictures. - You've seen the movie, you know the scenario. Are you letting me on that bitch or not? - Yeah, we'll alternate, we'd have to. But it'd have to be like a quick 15 secs. - 15 secs, I've been there for two hours. - You've not been there for two hours. - Okay, I've been there. - You would've died by the time. - I've been there for like four minutes. What do you mean 15 seconds?

- 15 on 15 and a half. - Your body temp wouldn't have risen by then. - Okay, what if the only way we could both fit on there was in missionary? - Oh my God. - Because we can. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why missionary? To be fair, it doesn't matter. It could be collapse doggy or missionary. It's either a collapse doggy or missionary. - Would you rather freeze to death or get on the door with missionary? - What position am I? Am I on top or on my bottom? - If you fancy.

I just wanna feel heat. Biomechanically, I feel like I prefer to be at the bottom. - Biomechanically? - Oh yeah, it makes the pressure. - Biomechanically. That makes all the sense. - If we're not doing nose to nose, you have to put the energy into it. 'Cause I'm laying down facing you. If you don't want the lips, do what your neck needs to do. - Oh, like swivel to the side? - Yeah, you can swivel away. Your neck's sore. - Can't we do like a big spoon, little spoon?

- Nah, it's gonna topple. - The physics in it. - Yeah, it's gonna topple. Get on top of me or get off. - I would do the missionary. I'd have to. - Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd have to. - Fair. - I'd have to, yeah. - Fair. What if you felt a little tummy stick? - I'd be concerned. - Obviously you're gonna be concerned. - I'd be very concerned. Like we're about to- - Would you say, James, I'm concerned or would you do something about it? - I'd fling you off. - Yeah. - No, it is exactly what I'll do. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You're flinging off at the bottom, I'm at the top. So obviously-

I'm not face to face, but like I'm overlapped like Tetris. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So I've got both hands on edge of the thing. If I'm feeling the tiny thing, I'm flipping that bitch. I'm rocking that bitch to make you scream. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Subside that boner. Subside that boner, you're not thinking straight. We're trying to survive here and you're getting hard. For what? For who? - That's too funny. - Oh my days. - Subside that boner.

Okay Oh god Oh right Okay what hill Are you willing to die on Yeah I'm not saying sorry Because I knew What I was doing And I meant what I did Okay Okay It be like that sometimes It be like that sometimes That's hands up ten toes It be like that sometimes Wow I know what I did I have to rate it Yeah I have to rate it I have to rate it What hill are you willing to die on Pineapples belong on pizza And people are just too immature To admit it That's a lie That's what the streets are saying

- Have you ever had it? - Of course I've had it. - And immediate no? - It's disgusting. - Is it ham and pineapple or whatever you have? - Ham and pineapple, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Ellis, ham and pineapple? You like ham and pineapple, innit? - I don't mind it. - Yeah, you've said before, I'm sure you've said before. - Barbecue base. - Barbecue base is crazy on ham and pineapple. - That's too much time. - That is, is, is. - Barbecue base and pineapple. Just put sugar on there. - Remski? - It's good. - I'm not gonna lie, the child in me loved it.

The child in me loved the ham and pineapple from Pizza Go-Go. Pizza Go-Go. Pizza Go-Go, Pizza Hut. Growing up, yeah, maybe. Yeah. I'm not going to lie. Grown palate, established adult now. Now, no. No. But. No offense, bro. Sorry. I can kind of see it because a lot of places you go restaurant wise, if you have pork, it always comes, nine times out of 10 comes with like a pineapple side. And the combination is sensational. I'm not doing it. You've never had pork and pineapple? Or pork belly and pineapple or something like that?

- No, 'cause I don't like pineapple with savory food. I understand that people like, 'cause pork is a salty thing. I can understand why they wanna balance it with sweet. Maple bacon is probably the best thing ever invented. I get where they're going. Pineapple can fuck off around my savory. - Fair, man. - It's good. - All right, man. - It's good. - Right. Here we went into Dion.

Alcohol doesn't taste good. We're all just trying to feel something. Facts. Fam, I am convinced I have about four to five intolerances and alcohol is one of them. Cosine? Alcohol is one of them. My stomach, you man, when I've been drinking alcohol. Visibly and physiologically? Wow. Facts and facts. Yeah. When I say I fart and shit...

- Bro! It's factual! After a heavy night? - After a heavy night, that bitch smells like poison. - Oh, what comes out of me sometimes? - Oh. - Bro, it's unheard of. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's unheard of. - Nah. - It's disgusting. - Bro, wow. - Yeah, man, 100%, 100%. What hill are you willing to die on? Stevie Wonder can see. - Do you know how many people have actively tried to debunk his blindness? - I've seen it, it's crazy.

- I've seen people like threatened to go like that to him. Just to see. - No. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I've never seen that. - People try to debunk his blindness all the fucking time, bro. - Have you seen that video though? Of the light, what falls? - The what? - There's a video. - There is a video, I can't remember. - He's performing, right? And a light falls and he catches it. - Pull it up please, Rem. Stephen Wonder, light falls. - That made me question it, I'm not gonna lie. - I have not seen that. And if that's the truth, he can see. - Just grabs it.

- Oh, it's a microphone. That doesn't count. That landed on his arm. - That one doesn't count at all. - Oh, no. - Wait a minute. - Exactly. - He drew for that. - Wow, okay. - Keep that bitch playing. Let's see what I got. - So Paul McCartney knocks the microphone, Kazam, and he's reacting now. - Automatically. - Oh no. - See?

- It's crazy. - Ayo. - Okay, that's nuts. - That's nuts. - Interesting. That is interesting. Maybe he can see. - That's all I need to see. I don't need to see the lighting. That's all I need to see. Maybe he's partially blind. Maybe he's got like a little piece of vision. That doesn't make sense. - Yeah. - That doesn't make sense. - 'Cause it's instantaneous he did that. - You never know though, if the microphone was on, and his head hit the thing, and you can hear it go,

Maybe his reaction was, I don't know. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I don't know, but fucking hell that's sketchy. Yeah. Wow. Okay, cool. Say less. Right. Who are you trying to die on? If you breathe this for me, you man is factual. Okay. If you breathe good news into the air before it's happened, it can get snatched from you.

Facts. When I say, when I hear good shit that's going on, but hasn't actually, I haven't seen the contract, I keep my mouth fucking shut. And as soon as I've been too teeheehee and let it slip, I'm livid at myself. Because I know it's jinxed now. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. I completely agree with that. It pisses me off. I completely agree with that. What hill are you willing to die on? That monster tastes terrible. Thoughts. That's bullshit. Thoughts. Do you know how I know they're wrong? Okay.

The satin, yeah. Let me get set up for this. All right. Only true ride or dies will get it. There's satin that happens in here when you crack a fresh jawn out the fridge and you hear a snap. These zero sugars. People who drink the black tings

- No, they don't know what they're doing. - That's with sugar? - That's with or without sugar. So you've got the black flavors, right? Let me give you a breakdown on Monster U, man. - Okay. - You got the black flavors. That's the original. That shit tastes like Red Bull. - Okay. - Boring and shit. - Okay. - Horrible. The sugary one. - I'm gonna crack a Monster now. Say what you said off edit. - So that's so, yeah, that is actually random. I said today, without knowing that that statement was gonna come up, I said,

My 2024 mission is to get Fuhad into Monster once and for all. If we're ever gonna sign that deal with you, man, we need him on board. We can't do it by ourselves. Just like I need to start watching my new games. - Fair. - So let me talk you through it. - Describe it and I'll, yeah. - So let me tell you what's gonna happen, right? You're gonna, it's cold, right? - Yeah, it's freezing. - Yeah.

- Baby's freezing. - Before you do anything, let your lips remember how warm it is in there. - Yeah. - Yeah? - Yeah. - You're warm. You need sustenance. You need something to cool you down. It's a hot room. It's a warm day in here. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Right. Get your finger under there and snap it. Listen to the snap. That's coldness you're gonna hear.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That metal snap? Smell that. Breathe it in. It smells fresh. Do you know what it smells like? It smells like diet lilt. I was going to say lilt.

It smells fresh, it smells like it's from the tropics. Yeah? - Mm-hmm. - And now what we want-- - What flavor is this by the way? - They're clever with their flavors. This flavor is ultra white. - Okay. - So there's no calories in here. - Okay. - There's no sugar in here. - Okay. - There may be some carcinogens, I don't know. - Yeah. - But anyway, what I want you to do is you let it pass your lips.

Taste the freshness and the cleanness in the flavor. Keep that diet lilt in your head. It's like a mix between lilt and Sprite. - Okay. - And it's packed full of caffeine. - Okay. - So it's lilt and Sprite, fresh, fresh, fresh, fresh, fresh, juicy, juicy, juicy, good. And it's full with drugs that are gonna make you pumped up. - Okay. - It's the perfect drink. Taste that bitch. - It really isn't bad. - That's all I need to do. - That first sip, it really isn't bad.

But because I remember you tried to get me onto it maybe two years ago, maybe two and a half years ago. - Yeah, I remember. - And it wasn't this flavor. I'm pretty sure it wasn't this flavor. - Probably wasn't. Now, then you got those flavors, right? And then when you're really suffering, you get into the sugary jaunts. There's only two sugary bitches that I co-sign, right? One is a pipeline punch. - Pipeline punch. - The pipe, you'll smack your mom for a pipeline punch.

On a bad day, you'll smack your mom for a pipeline punch. That's the sweetest, sugariest jawn I've ever tasted. - Oh yeah? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's crazy. - Okay. - And then there's also mango loco. - I've heard of that one. - Mango loco is pretty good. Pipeline punch is undefeated. - Okay. - So I never step into the sugary realm. - Okay. - 'Cause I don't like cavities and I don't like tummies. - Okay. - But all the beaties. - Yeah.

but I always stay consistent with my- - This is a paid advertisement for BetterHelp. - Bro. - Talk to me. - Real quick, ask me what my self-care non-negotiables are. - What? - Grounding.

Wim Hof breath work. Yeah. Eight hour sleep. Non-negotiables. Those are three perfect non-negotiables. And I'm proud of you. Thank you very much. I'm very, very proud of you. It's like when people say never skip leg day, but it's never skip therapy day. We all know how easy it is for our schedules to become overwhelmed with social gatherings and other obligations that leave us struggling to make time for the things that fill our own cups. 100%. It's like when your schedule is packed with big work projects,

and more, it's easy to let your priorities slip. Even when we know what makes us happy, it can be hard to make time for it.

But guys, when you feel like you have no time for yourself, non-negotiables like therapy are more important than ever. Agreed. And therapy has broader benefits like, for example, learning how to set boundaries in your life so that you feel empowered to be the best version of yourself. Exactly that. With almost 5,000 therapists in the UK already, BetterHelp can provide access to mental health professionals with a wide variety of expertise. Never skip therapy day with BetterHelp.

Ultra blue, Brexit, they fucked us. - Okay. - Brexit took ultra blue off the map in the UK. You gotta ship that bitch in from Europe. - What's the difference between white and blue?

It's hard to explain. Anyone who's a true Monster fan knows that Ultra Blue just tastes like a blue-white. Pull up Monster for me, please, Ramske. Yeah. A blue-white. It tastes like a white, but it's blue. That's what it tastes like. Okay. I can't describe it. Ultra Blue just tastes like an ultra-white, but bluey. Then my second favorite, I'm not going to talk about sugar, so out of the ultras, Ultra Blue is probably my second favorite. You can only get it in Europe. PG Keen.

is a tie for third place with Ultra Red. Ultra Red is another one that Brexit hit us with, and they took that off the shelves too. Ultra Red is...

It's a good drink. It tastes a bit like cherry aid. Okay. And they got that ultra sunrise on there. That orange bitch there. Ultra sunrise. Yeah. If you haven't, if you have it too much, it fucks with your taste buds. You don't like it. Okay. Ultra white. You can have three of these bitches in a day and not get bored. Okay. Ultra sunrise. You can have like one a week, but the one you have on a one off, no consistency. Ultra sunrise is undefeated. It's the best flavor there is. Is there a monster flavor you've never had?

Good question. Type in how many monster flavors are there, Rem? Type in monster ultra flavors because there's a lot of the sugar ones I haven't had and I never will. Fair. Zero ultra flavors. All right, cool. So this is on the official website. Let's go. I've had ultra white, peachy keen, watermelon, ultra gold I've had, ultra paradise I've had, ultra fiesta, yes. Ultra sunrise, yes. Ultra rose. Rose is another good one.

Ultra violet used to be Lawrence's go-to. They don't do that anymore. Brexit took that from us as well. Ultra red love. Ultra blue is that bad bitch. Ultra black tastes like shit. - Really? - It really does. Ultra black is like a cherry flavored one. Didn't land. I'm pretty sure they introduced that Sainsbury's. And then you got the strawberry dreams. So yeah, I've had all the ultra flavors. - Okay. And okay, so top three again is white. - White. - Is number one.

Second place is ultra blue. - Okay. - And then I think we have a three-way tie for third for me, which is peachy keen, ultra sunrise and ultra red. - Okay. - Follow closely by ultra Rosa. - Okay. - Yeah. Wow. - All right. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love me some monster boy. - Say less bro. - Yeah, damn. - Say less. - Damn, it's good bro. - I cracked my first one too. - Yeah gang, you know bro, and once you get it, you know how these like primed-ons? - Mm-hmm.

I'm like, wow, wow, wow. They've got the rarest gooseberry flavor. The group chats I'm in, when a new monster flavor hits the shelves, and you'll always find it in the most off kilter corner shop. You'll be in a random news agents and just see a new flavor in there. No one knows about. I take a picture that send it to all my team. Everyone's losing their mind.

- They're always like, add a pin, drop a pin, drop a pin, drop a pin, drop a pin, drop a pin, it's crazy. - Say less. - Yeah, it's good shit, man. I love it. I love it. - Say less. - I know I'm gonna be filled with comments like, "You're gonna get cancer and die." I don't care. I said it, bro. I don't care. - All right, cool, cool. - Anyway. - Last one. What hill are you willing to die on? "Dragon Ball Z" is the best anime of all time. - That's fucking bullshit.

That's fucking bullshit, by the way. It is... I would say it's the most influential anime of all time. I mean, yeah. As a child, I watched that bitch every day. Everyone did. Yeah, nostalgia. I'd say it's so influential that...

that a lot of people don't even consider it to be an anime. - Yeah, I never deemed it an anime. I didn't even know what anime was when I was a kid anyway. But I was watching it thinking this is just a cartoon and I'm loving it. - Yeah, facts bro. - It's on Cartoon Network and I'm loving it. - Yeah bro. - Is it Cartoon Network or something? - Yeah, Cartoon Network, Toonami. - Toonami, yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - And I'm loving it. - Me and my brother used to throw hands. During the opening sequence. Dragon Ball Z and Power Rangers, we're throwing hands. - Say less. - Yeah, just gassed. So yeah, fuck that comment. But the only one that I had left was one I didn't say because it says that.

I'll say it. Heal they're willing to die on. They said Attack on Titan's overrated. Bro, Demon Slayer's overrated, overhyped, due to animation. The storyline is trash. Fuck you. Who the fuck said that? I was livid writing it. I was livid writing it. I was livid writing it. I couldn't believe it. Nah, that's bullshit. Storyline's hard. Overhyped and overrated due to the animation. What have you been watching? What's your favorite anime, then? Yeah, nah. The fuck? I will say, though, Attack on Titan, I think, is overrated.

Don't get me wrong. There are parts of it. Now it's finished, I can say with full confidence, there's too much of it that's not good. Oh, there's loads of it that isn't good. There's a whole season that's not good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a whole season that's not good. They produce an entire season and have the audacity to release it to the public, knowing that we ain't gonna see a Titan this year. Facts. I think it was season three, part one. It was terrible. Yeah, the worst thing I've ever seen. Terrible.

- And even the last, the movies weren't that good. - I didn't finish watching the last movie. I think I'm halfway through the last movie. And the second part of the movie continues exactly where movie one left off from. And movie one- - I watched them both back to back. - It's like a year apart or so, maybe 11 months apart. And I completely forgot what happened in the first movie. And it starts from the jump on movie two.

- Don't know what's happening. - Bro. - I'm like halfway through, I'm like, mm. - It's not that good. - It's just, it's, it's av. But if you watch it from season one to end of maybe you will enjoy it a lot more. - Top three, I would say it's got the top three best first episodes of any anime I've ever seen. - Oh, that's on God. - Yeah, yeah. - That, my jaw dropped at first. I couldn't believe it. - Same, same. I remember where I was when I watched it in uni with you man. You man were out. When you got back, I called you into the living room to watch it again.

I remember saying, sit down and watch this. I don't even remember that. Wow. Bro. Wow. Fucking hell. Yeah. What would you say are the good season one openers of an anime? If you can recall. Jujutsu Kaisen had a good one. I think Demon Slayer had a really good one. I rewatched that again not too long ago. It was good. It was good. Cabernet of the Iron Fortress is a really, really good first episode. I can't remember. I've obviously seen the anime, but I can't remember the first episode. I just remember it was awesome. Yeah, it's arms from the jaw. The whole thing was awesome.

The 12 Zodiacs. The 12 Zodiacs? That's not the name they go by. They go by the Japanese name. I can't remember. It's like the 12 Zodiacs is like the thing where they have the 12 assassins and they're all Zodiac signs. Oh my God! The first episode of that is fucking... Oh my God! Fucking crazy. I can't remember what it's called, but oh my God. When you think the main character's gonna... And he dies in like episode one. Juni Tyson. Oh my God. Bro?

- Insane first episode. - Oh, I forgot about that. Wow. - The season as a whole was gash. The first couple episodes were out of this world. - You just, you don't know what to expect. It's like Game of Thrones level. You don't know who's gonna die, bro. - Yeah, bro. Next level. - Good shout. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Fuck. - Julian Tyson first episode was so sick. - Fuck. Yeah, man, yeah, man, yeah, man. Good memory. - Fair play. - Good memory. - Right. Guys, okay, cool, cool. So the scores for

- Back to school, season one. - I think it's 1-1-0, no? - 1-1-0, so I've got one point, Rem's got one point, LS zero at the minute. I'm not gonna lie to you, man, I actually genuinely do get nervous playing this game. - Yeah? Good. - Because it opens, it opens yourself up to a lot of scrutiny. - Facts. - And Rem, I would just wanna say, I wanna bury the hatchet. I have no interest in beefing with you over this little game. I don't wanna fuck Ireland. And I just want us to just be cool with it.

I'm more than happy to. All right, gang. Guys, like I said before, once we have written all five answers, we are going to swap boards. So we are going to mark other people's answers. Guys, make sure you're playing at home. Five questions, different categories, different subjects, key stage three, ages 11 to 14. If you're smart, you'll get it. If you're not, you won't. Right, guys, we're going back to school. Are we all ready for question one? Question one.

And that concludes back to school this week, guys. Let us know what you got in the comments below and we're going to run the answers once these guys are locked. God. Right, so I'm assuming we're just going quick clockwise? A quick clockwise. Change your pads. Your pads? Your... Yeah, pads, I guess. Question number one was obviously a science question. Which of the following acids do we have in our stomach? The options were...

- Ethanic acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid. Obviously, I don't need you guys to shout out your answers because you have other people's whiteboards. The answer is hydrochloric acid. - Cool. - Question number two. Choose the correct list of nouns from the following sentence. The books are on the table by the window in the hall. There are four nouns in that sentence.

And the nouns are books, table, window, and hall. Number three, spelling. Spell the word acrylic and I will spell it for you. It is A-C-R-Y-L-I-C. I will not be expecting or accepting any other answers. Fuck.

Which of these numbers has a whole number as a square root? The options were 30, 32, 34, and 36. And the answer is 36.

because if you divide 36 by six, it equals six or six times six is 36. - You have whose pad? - I've got Rem's. - And what did Rem get? - Rem got two out of five. - Ellis, you have James's one and what did James get? - Three out of five. - And Remski, you have Ellis's. What did Ellis get? - Three. - So it's a two way tie between. - Tie. - What did Ellis get right? - The first three.

So the score is now two, one, one.

- You're not doing a tiebreaker for them. - Oh yeah, but I need to do a tiebreaker. Yes, I do need to do a tiebreaker. - We don't have to. - We have to do it. - Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. - These people don't win on one day. - Yeah, you can't do that. - So wait, who's in between you two? - Me and Ellis. - Pick a number two, one, and five. - They both got the capitals wrong, book three. - Three is spelling. - Damn. - Damn. - You guys ready? - Yep. - Spell accommodation. - Bro, what is this? - It's key stage three, that's what it is.

Don't say anyone can spell it because I can't spell it. Ellis, can I have your spelling please? A C C O M E D A T I O N James, can I have your spelling please? A C C O M M O D A T I O N And James has won. There's no E in accommodation and you missed the second M, Ellis.

In 2020, an Italian man following a dispute with his wife walked 450 kilometers, which is 280 miles, from Como in the north to Fano in the Adriatic coast to cool off. A week later, at 2 a.m., police stopped his remarkable journey, resulting in a 400 euro fine for violating the pandemic lockdown curfew.

The 48 year old man explained to the police, "I walked the entire way without any transport" and shared that along his route, kind strangers provided him with food and drinks. After covering an average of 60 kilometers daily, he simply remarked, "I'm fine, just a bit tired." Just for reference, and I've got it on the next tab. Unfortunately, it's already there written. Could you guess without looking,

How far you would have to walk up north, which city you would reach from London if you walked 280 miles or 450 kilometers? I'm not even looking. 200 miles. 280 miles from London. 280 from London. Up north, which city would you reach? I'm going to say Hull.

Okay. I'm going to say Newcastle. It's Newcastle. Is it Newcastle? Yeah. From London. Gang. Sick. If you walked 280 miles up north. That's not possible, bro. Because Newcastle is like a six hour drive. Yeah. Five and a half hour drive.

I wouldn't hear the last of it from the streets. - Swear you had a dream. - Oh God. - Martin Luther King, that's a joke. - All right, cool. So guys, chapter one, who am I? - Cool. - So long story short, I'm an orphan. I don't know who my parents are. I don't know where I came from.

All I know is I was raised by my adopted father who loved me very much. Okay, he loved me like I was one of his own kids. Cool thing about my adoptive father is this brat loves to fight and he taught me how to fight. So I knew very, very early on that I was different from all the other kids. I look a bit different. I'm built a bit different.

And I realized I was also stronger than all the other kids as well. I made a lot of friends early on from my dad's martial arts teachings and the group of friends that I cultivated. We all had a little bit something different about us as well. Okay. And along with that, I made some lifelong companions and we used our differences and our love of fighting.

to form bonds and the one thing that we love to do more than anything else is go on treasure hunts end of chapter one any guesses at all my original guess was um uh jaden smith in what's the karate movie called the karate kid um okay

Do we have any formal guesses? No, no, no, no. I'm just thinking out loud. Please stop out loud speculation. Formal guesses only, please, team. Treasure hunt. No? No. Okay. Chapter two. As I got a little bit older, I fell in love. I had a kid, but along with this, I would always continue my training and indoctrinated my son into the training regime as well. One day...

Out of nowhere, I was minding my business. And, bruv, when I say I got rushed by two dickheads, bruv, two random dickheads pulled up, rushed me. Couldn't believe it. I was fighting for my life. Obviously, as I told you, I've been doing martial arts forever. I smack up everyone. I'm built different. I thought I was going to smack these two youths up as well. But then I found out, rah, these men are just as wham as me. This is a scrap. This is a scrappity scrap. And then I clocked, rah, these men look a bit like me as well.

So after a long period of fisticuffs, I found out through the Grapers that these men are actually related to me. And it turns out along with them, I'm actually from a different planet. End of chapter two. Any formal guesses? And when I say formal guesses, remember last week, I need the name of the person I am, not this character from this movie, this character from this book. No formal guesses?

Right, moving on to chapter three. So fast forward some time, I smacked up these dickheads. Through the education that these man put me through, I learned that the treasure hunt that me and my boys have been doing for all these years is actually the pussyhole version. And if I follow these man to the different planets that they go to, I can find out what the treasure hunt looks like for real Donnies. So me and my boys, we worked our asses off.

and we went around space completing, well, we went to another planet, sorry, and we completed a treasure hunt. And we discovered that once you complete this treasure hunt, you can have whatever wish you want granted, but you can only have one wish. The next thing I know, my bitch ass friend gets smacked up by one flamboyant alien nigger, and I had to waste this fucking wish bringing him back to life. - Goku. - I am Goku.

- Well played. Thank you, sir. Good job. - What's that all? - What? - "Dragon Ball Z" by Andro. - Oh, I've never watched it. - You don't know who Goku is? - I knew the name. I didn't, I thought it was a film. - Oh, fair play. I did say that you might not be able to get that one. Well done. Well done, well done, well done, well done, well done. - Gassed. - I don't know. I think what gave it away was, it was obviously in the third part. I was never getting it from chapter two.

I don't know. It's started to piece together. You're doing really well in this game. It's a really, really good segment. It's a thinker. Yeah, it is. Thank you, G. Ellis, I promise next week I will try harder to get something that's in your timeline. I apologise. I'm aging you out. It's not fair. All right. Very nice. All right. So apparently Fouad has a question for the team. I do have a question for the team. Obviously, a few weeks ago, we did a question of...

New Year's resolutions, wrong answers only, but we then try to discuss what our New Year's resolutions would be. We are nine days in. By the time this comes out, we are two weeks into the New Year's. Have you guys...

thoughts of or seeing yourself changing and resolve? Like, do you guys have a resolution over these past two weeks and thought, hmm, maybe I can stick to this. Hmm, maybe there's something that can change. Hmm, maybe this is something I wanna do continuously for the year. - Cool, so it's funny you should say that. I was actually gonna talk about it on Patreon, but since you brought it up, I might as well talk about it now. So today I had my first day of therapy. - Nice. - Started therapy today. - Cool, man. - Thank you.

Yeah. Ha. You, man? Yeah. It's interesting. Yeah. This bitch is interesting. Yeah. I know. Unlocking ting, yeah. Yeah, bro. So I was, obviously, without getting into too much, I was very, very apprehensive. And the lady I met today asked me, like, where does my main apprehension lie?

And I said to her, like, I'm apprehensive talking to a therapist because one of the things, well, one of the reasons I am is because

I like to see myself as a very open person. I feel confident to like talk about my insecurities. Obviously because of this show, this has already been like one form of therapy where like a lot of my insecurities and a lot of my issues and a lot of things that like typically you would be embarrassed to talk about and all that kind of stuff. I feel like an open platform for us to just be ourselves. And that's helped me in a lot of ways. There are obviously things in my life that I don't talk about on camera.

You're probably like my closest confidant in the world. And there's obviously I tell you pretty much everything.

But there will always be stuff that I tell you that even though it is the truth, there's a filter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a filtering system. And there may be stuff that I confide into someone else that doesn't have... I might be able to tell them that thing that I feel with you, but there's other stuff that I'm feeling with them. There's never been a person in my entire life that I have...

been my absolute true self. No filter, no nothing. Say it exactly how it is. And that's fucking scary. - It's freeing as well. - Once you do it, it's freeing you man. Wow. Today was a session one. So from this, as you know, obviously they have to pair me up with like a long-term therapist based on my session today. I was in there for like an hour and a bit.

Blood clot, you man. So my mission is to do it for the rest of this year consistently. It doesn't have to be every week, but consistently as I can go through therapy for an entire year. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. And I think also on top of that, now that we've started this scoop challenge,

We've signed up for a year. I know we're only doing the super eight. After the eight, I would like this to be the year, obviously as like Rem knows and you know, and pretty much everyone knows is that like fitness used to be my life. And at no point in my life would I ever have considered myself unfit. And the last couple of years I would actually consider myself like unfit. And just from doing a week,

of this and I've done the cardio four times and intense cardio four times. The first time I did it was on Wednesday. The last time I did it was on Sunday. And just from those few days, I promise you now what I did on Sunday, I wouldn't have been able to do on Wednesday. Like my fitness has already increased in the matter of a few days. - Nice. - Just from pushing myself. So I wanna keep going. I wanna be like an athletic person that I used to be. - Nice. - So those are my two resolutions for this year. - Nice, I love both of them. - Ellis. - That's cool man.

I don't know. I think one thing that puts in my head like the other day, I just want to be a lot more confident. Okay. I want to work on being more confident. Okay. That's my brother. I love that for you. Yeah. What does that look like for you? Facts, yeah. Let's get into it.

Fucking let's. By the way, we have an episode. I think it's like episode 82 or something. It's called like therapy session or whatever the fuck it's called. The amount of people that DM me about that episode all the fucking time. Let's pull it up. It's a part two, my bro. What the fuck does that look like for you, Ellis? Let's really get deep. Jesus. I don't know, man. Just little things, really. Just being more like...

if something's on my mind say it don't tiptoe around it just say it um just like it's just little stuff like you know like socially and stuff like it's like it's freeing in the crowd this is a real we're bonded today keep going please keep going yeah just like socially as well like yeah it's like big

and social anxiety and all that bullshit. - I was trying to hold it. That was a game of chicken, innit? - Yeah. - I was sweating. Sorry, Ellis. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. - No, that's about it really. Yeah, just being a bit more upfront in a good way, not in a rude way or anything. But yeah, just speaking my mind a little bit more. And when I have ideas, just address them and,

- Yeah, I don't really know how to word it. - Just stop modeling yourself. - Yeah, basically stop like, yeah. - Do you think that, do you, when you exhibit that slight lack of confidence or like not speaking, are you present in the moment that you're not doing it? Like, is there a moment where you're like, I wanna say this thing, but I'm not? Or is it like a hindsight thing? - There's always a block. - There's a physical block right there. - There's actually a block where it's like, oh, just do this. And then it's like,

And then it's like battling in my head and then it ends up doing nothing. Is it a fear of response from us or whoever you're in the room with? I'd say so, yeah, probably. Yeah, or what it is, a lot of the time, it's coming across the wrong way. I used to get it all the time. Like in my old jobs, for example, I'd get worried about saying certain stuff that it'd come across in the wrong way. So it's the articulation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's like...

because I've said stuff before and then like people thought I meant one thing like I was annoyed or something and it's like I'm not but I think that's where it comes from a lot a bit and like people's responses but also like

yeah like am i actually communicating myself clearly and well or people get in the wrong end of the stick and it's like oh fuck and it's just like i just don't want to say that because it's just you know what i mean but yeah that's one thing that's hard thank you for opening up bro that's hard shit love that well played man yeah give up remski remski you're up um

Resolutions, resolutions. So I set myself content creation, practicing bass guitar, and I have started those things. I've got back on that practicing. I've been streaming again, got a routine, streaming Sundays, Wednesdays. And yeah, I've decided to...

knock or try to knock these walls down that I place up myself. Like I don't, nobody, nobody builds that brick wall in front of you that says, or rarely in my, in my particular case. Anyway, no one's built this brick wall in front of me that says, oh, well, I can't do something. I can't create something. I've built that wall and I'm sat behind it. Like I just don't want to do anything now. Or, you know, I'm not in the mood to do something now.

There's always going to be these different walls and it's up to me to just knock them down and just do whatever I need to do. Whatever it is I've said I'm going to do. Just follow through with it. Tiredness. Everyone's tired, man. We've all been tired since we were 13 years old. It's just one of those things. And to just make sure that I just stay on top of what I say I'm going to do and just

do it you know life's short and we don't have all the opportunities that we think we have you know touch wood but anything can happen man you know and um yeah a couple of losses in my family in the 23 that last year and it yeah just made me think man like i have conversations in my head about what what conversation i have thoughts in my head about what the conversations with them would look like

Cool.

That was fucking gorgeous. Thank you for that, bro. We didn't give a round of applause for James, but give it up for James. Thank you, guys. Your turn, Daddy. My turn. The reason why I asked this question is because I've seen myself change over the past when this comes out 14 days. There are probably two or three major things I feel like

I have started to change and I am willing to continue to change about myself. First thing is to piggyback off what you said. I'm a massive procrastinator. I said that last year. I said that the year before. I said I probably the year before that as well. I am in a space where if I think I need to do something, I'm doing it then and there. If I'm not in the space to do it, I am driving or I'm cooking or something. I'll write that bitch down so I never forget it. And I'll do it at the earliest convenience. That's number one.

Number two, I'm really, really, you guys know I hate scripts. You guys know I hate acting. I am really going to push myself to get into my creative bag. And I want to, like you said, again, to piggyback off what you said, I'm the only one stopping me from doing that. And I think it's probably a fear of not being that person before and not knowing how

I would see myself in that creative space, but fuck it. This is again, this is our safe space. So why can't I just be my creative bag and just do what I want, you know? So that's another thing I really want to push on as well. Number three, to piggyback on what James said, I've also started therapy as well, and I'm going to continue doing that throughout the rest of the year. And one, another one to continue off the, the flute challenge I've,

Throughout my whole life, I feel like, I say my whole life, probably like my adult life, I've always, if there's something I like, I continue to eat that bitch. Do you know what I mean? Like, my gluttony is real. My gluttony is so real. Like, I am, as weird and little as this sounds to other people, for me,

if I'm going to make food or have food or whatever, I'm gonna have a smaller portion first. And then if I get hungry again, have another portion instead of having a fucking massive plate, feeling lazy, feeling tired, which is a knock on effect 'cause it stops me from going to the gym, it stops me from leaving the yard. Little things like that affect my whole day. So I'm gonna break it down bit by bit, probably have five meals a day instead of a breakfast and two large meals. Do you see what I'm saying? And that changes my mood throughout the whole day. That changes how I feel. That changes how I look at myself.

And I'm going to keep doing that going forward. Be more active as well. On days that I don't do anything or days that I'm free, if I don't train, leave the yard and go for a fucking walk. Leave the fucking yard and go for a fucking walk because I can sit on my ass. I can game, watch TV, will do anything all fucking day if I wanted to. And that's a lazy motherfucking mentality. And I'm changing that bitch. That's sick.

- Yeah, man. - Gang, man. What an amazing episode this is, guys. Aren't we so blessed? - We are blessed. - Bro, so blessed, man. Fuck. - I had to ask that question. - Shit, man. - It's a good one. - That makes me feel really happy. - Same. - All right, I'm down to lock it there, daddy. That's good. - Yeah, man. - Right, guys. Thank you so much. If you're still here, we appreciate you. - Facts. - Yeah, man. As always, love, love, love. - Acast powers the world's best podcasts. Here's a show that we recommend.
