Guys. Girls. Right. Slight change of scheduling today. We're not going to do a question of the week simply because we don't belong to you.
- Facts. - Yeah, we don't just do as we're told every week. - Facts. - We do what the fuck we want. - Yeah. - 'Cause our dicks are massive. - They're swangin'. - Swangin' and we just use it whenever we want. And sometimes we have to put our dick on the table and be like, sup bro, no question this week, do something about it. And then you guys see the length of it and the girth and you're like, fair enough, bro. It's your show, man. It's your party, I just wanna dance. - Come on, man. - It's your fucking party, I just wanna dance. And then we're like, that's what I thought. Zip. - Facts.
Rezip. So to get started today, I have something I wanted to start off talking about, yeah? - Yeah. - So, right, this is very different to the kind of stuff we usually do. But you know how I said I'm in the guts of Ramsay's Hotel Hell? - Yeah. - Yeah. I'm in his guts, bro. - Yeah, yeah. - So, bro,
That's when I'm in obviously full context, I'm in London every week for recording. So like two, three days a week, I'm in hotels. And when I'm in hotels, I watch boring hotel TV. And I've been balls deep in anything Gordon Ramsay recently. So I've been, now because of that, I've been noticing hotels that are just busted in it. And I think, God, I'd love to do an episode in that hotel. I'd love to do an episode in that hotel.
Just to piggyback off what you just said, that's how I feel when I go into restaurants because I'm naturally got that hospitality brain. Fair play. Fair play. I'm locked in now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I understand. Yeah. You can be going down any... Because I always wonder, just from a business perspective, you'll go through central London and you'll see like townhouses and shit that you know if there was a house that you're buying that house. It's like 10 million. And it would just be a random marble arch called the fucking Sunny Days Hotel. And you're like...
Who's staying there? Who is staying there, bro? Bro, check this out, yeah? Check this out, bro. So, there is a hotel in Luton, right? Called the Stuart Hotel. So, for context, yeah? This hotel is on like, in Luton. Oh my God. It looks like a dusty, murked hotel.
like abandoned building of office building okay dusty murked old asbestos office building and it's in an area where you would least expect to see a hotel okay it's on like a dual carriageway in luton that's like between sections and there's like a council building there's a police station there it's just like a dodgy road to have a hotel in general brother so seeing this hotel
So sometimes what I like to do when I see a butters hotel, I like to Google it and see what the reviews are saying. - Yeah. - 'Cause I'm thinking, "These reviews can't be good, bro." - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So no shade, Stuart, you might have stepped your pussy up. - Yeah. - I'm not trying to catch a case. - Yeah. - I'm just saying what Google's saying. - Yeah, facts. - I'm literally just reading what Google says. - Facts. - So I seen the Stuart hotel and then I seen some of the reviews and I thought, "Oh, bro, let me screenshot some of these reviews here."
You, man, they're funny. I have lots. Right, so the Stuart Hotel in Luton. Don't make me do this every week because half of the hospitality business will shut down. Can we look at the Google images? Yeah, go to the images. Yeah, go to the images. Go to the images. First image, you'll be able to see exactly what I'm referring to. Yeah, that's it. That's that one right there. Yeah, that looks like...
when you're passing like a school in like the 90s. - Yeah, bro. - It looks like an old school corridor. - Yes, exactly, exactly, exactly, it does. That's exactly what it looks like. That cladding? - Yeah. - Mental, mental. - All right, comments. - So I've seen some of the reviews, yeah? - Or reviews rather, not comments. - Yeah, so this first review, first word, awful. Whole hotel smelled of damp, no working lifts.
All walls were damaged. Bed sheets were stained. No shower curtain in the room. So we asked for one only to be told they didn't have any. Shower curtains, big man. Carpet was frayed. Aircon sounded like an alarm. Oh, wow. Bro, do you know what's funny?
Three or four different comments were like, aircon sounded like a siren. Aircon sounded like an alarm. Bro, tried to turn on the aircon. It's fucking noisy. Everyone was slagging off this aircon, bro. So, carpet sprayed, aircon sounded like an alarm. Single glazed windows kept no sound out. Brother, single glazed. In 24. Yeah, bro.
Kept no sound out. No desk, no chair, no bedside table. Hotel advertised as having a golf course, a restaurant and a bar. There was none of them. Do you know how insane it is to advertise a golf course? Big man, there's no bedside table.
- But they ain't got shower curtains. - It's just a bed. - These men are talking about golf course, restaurant and bar. Big man, it says there's no restaurant in there. - That's insanity. - There's no bar in there. - They can't be, surely they can't be advertising that. - Brother, there was none of these things. Complete false advertisement. Paid for two nights, stayed for one.
because it was disgusting and the staff didn't want to help. - Jesus Christ. - Expedia moved us to a better hotel as the staff refused to answer the phone to Expedia to work something out, which we were glad about because it meant we could move. - Yeah. - Please avoid at all costs, brother. And do you know what's jokes? Is the owners of the ting always replied to the comments like, sorry, sorry, sorry. Please come back. We'll try and make it better, brother.
See how I said lift don't work. There was one, I don't know if I- - Screenshot it. - Yeah, yeah, I've screenshot it, right? So you know how she said, so they're always saying, "Oh, we're trying to work on this. We're trying to work on that. Please come back. Please come back." So sorry they had a bad experience, yeah? This one, one star. TV always out of signal. No shower curtains on the bath. Smell of the whole place wasn't pleasant at all. Paper thin pillows to which they claim one per person is all you're allowed.
- God, it's crazy. - Missing furniture, such as a bedside unit, tables, et cetera. Claim to have a golf course, a restaurant and a bar. It has none of the above. Still also haven't fixed the lift, which was mentioned in a previous review, which they claim will be fixed within three weeks. Awful stay, wouldn't recommend. I left before the second night that I'd paid for because I'd rather sleep in the back street than that dive again. - Damn! - Oh, brother!
- The backstreet. - Man said keep the money, I'd rather sleep on the street. - Fair, wow. - Brother. - I'll let you finish all of these, but after that, please pull up their website. 'Cause I wanna see what they're advertising. - Fam, right, again, one star. The hotel is in a great location, but poorly managed and poorly maintained. Very offensive smell. Very offensive smell all the way from the reception to the corridor and then to the room.
The room rug was wet and smelly. - Wetters, butters! The rug was wet! - Oh! - Rug was wet and smelly. Cobwebs on the windows and visible mold on the window. Stains on the toilet bath. The room and the power kept tripping off. Staff responsiveness was below expectations. I think the hotel rating should be reviewed downwards.
blah blah blah blah blah blah okay cool ain't coming back and then and these reviews from 24 oh six months ago bro mad one star an absolute dive and a health hazard facts if you plan on staying a night bring a hazmat suit everything about the place was horrible and it stank of stale alcohol and urine that's disgusting do you know many people are sending for the smell it must be a halfway house bro
This has to be the worst hotel I've stayed at in my life. Missing desk, missing side tables, carpet was dirty and ripped, paint was missing, the TV had no reception whatsoever, missing the bathroom curtain.
When I asked about these things, they didn't have any and the whole staff barely spoke English. They also have control over the AC at any given time. I'd rather sleep on the streets than go back to this for free. Nevermind paying. Broski, first line of this one. If I'd arrived in daylight, I never would have stayed. Bro, I was told that breakfast was not being served.
Then told it was continental, which it wasn't. Only one towel for two adults. No hairdryer and not... What? What did you say? Only one towel for two adults. No hairdryer and not a mirror near a plug. Ironing board, no iron. Huge metal bolt locked on the inside of the door that didn't work.
A large bowl on corridor floor underneath missing ceiling tiles and dripping pipes. Lights flickering all over the building. Maintenance was appalling. No interaction at all as we checked out. Bro.
Some of them added pictures, bro. When I say there's piss stains galore. Nah. That place is nuts, bro. Jesus Christ. How are they still in business? Yeah, man. How are they still in business? Stuart Hotel's taking L's, G. Let me see what the marketing campaign is. Is it a chain? No, it can't be. I promise you it can't be. This is a website. Why is homegirl in a pool? I don't know.
- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
- Maybe like 75. - 75 pound. 55 to 75 pound a night. 900 pound a night. - What? - 900 pound a night. - How is that possible? - Go to booking.com right now and try to type in suit hotel. - That is. - The booking.com was the first one. Go back to Google. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - How is that possible? - Oh, you can see it right there. Look, look, look, look, look, look. Go back, go back, go back, go back, go back. Zoom in. - Yeah. - Yeah. - There is there. There's no way. - Booking.com, 899 pound. - That's got to be a mistake. - What? - Yeah, brother. Oh yeah.
What? Classic. How? How is that possible? It's tomfoolery, bro. No way. You forgot to give us that information. Yeah, sorry. It's the pivotal part of the story. I forgot to tell you, man. That can't... They can't still be in business. So these people in these reviews that you read paid this and got that? No shot. Don't know what to tell you, bro. If I paid a grand for what I've just read, I would say I like it.
I would have to, I don't, I've never fucked with a lawyer in my life. I'd have to get a lawyer involved. Yeah, 100%. I'd have to get a lawyer involved. 100%, bro. What is all of that? No one knows what that is. Yeah, go back to their website, please. This can't be how they're advertising that dive. Because you know what's mad? Obviously, daddy was born in Luton. This picture that you're looking at is nowhere near this hotel. The hotel is, I say it's nowhere near, the hotel is like, oh, bro, like,
way over there. Like way over there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a picture of like the town center. - Yeah. - That is tomfoolery. - Yeah, bro. - Special about us, hit about us. - This is all there was for the about us. - Get that picture of that Paul out my face, bro. - Wow. - Liars. They spent money on his website though. - Yeah, they did. So if I go book now,
- Well, I read one review that homegirl couldn't book online. So she bailed them and said, "I'm coming to Luton for an event in two weeks. Can I book? Do you have any availability?" Donny on the phone just said, "Just pull up. We'll make sure you've got a room. We'll just pull up." She pulled up and they were like, "No, we're full." - God. Wait, there's got to be a way. If I want to go there this weekend, Friday the 28th until checkout on Sunday the 30th. - Yeah. - Book now. - Jesus. - Look at this price for a weekend. - Two thou- for a weekend, yeah? - This weekend. - Two and a half K.
- Check in on the 28th and check out on the 30th, two nights. - Shower, flat screen TV, air con. That's what it says. - Would you stay there for a log cabinet? - No. - No? - I was actually, when you were talking, I was thinking how much would you, how much would you stay there for a couple nights? - You'll see James depressed. - Because the carpet in the room is wet. - That's the worst thing I've heard.
Everything else is unacceptable, but that's the worst thing I've heard. The hotel stinks of piss and the carpet in my room's wet. There's no shower curtains in this bitch. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. How are they charging two and a half bags, bro? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I saw one of the replies in one of the comments from the ownership. It was just like, we're trying...
We're trying to meet these demands that you man are saying, but it's a fucking investment and we don't have the capital. So I'm assuming they jacked up the prices and was like, look, we need to swindle a few man and we're gonna pay the price later. But with the money, with the six bags that we can get from the three guests that are stupid enough to pay this money, we can reinvest. - Jesus Christ. - Yeah, terrifying bro, terrifying.
They even advertise a bedside table, like two and a half for that. - Bro, even with these- - Shower curtain, everything. - Do you know how I know I'm an idiot? For these prices, yeah, I would see these pictures and be like, oh, they just got a bad photographer. 'Cause there's no way- - Yeah, you give them the benefit of the doubt. - Yeah, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. They got a bad photographer 'cause there's no way it looks like that. There's no way it looks like that. - That's holiday prices. - One of the reviews said the kettle didn't work. The kettle wouldn't boil.
So I had to go downstairs and ask, 'cause there's no phone in there. I had to go downstairs and ask for a different kettle. They kept me waiting two hours. So I had to go downstairs again and ask for a new kettle. The next kettle they gave me wouldn't stop boiling. - Nah, this whole building must be a facade. They must have built that to test people's limits. - Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was owned by the Sidemen. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was owned by the Sidemen. Bro, that's fucking funny, man. - What is this?
- Nah, man. - The second kettle wouldn't stop boiling. - That's hilarious. - I was on the ropes, bro. - That's hilarious. - Oh, fucking hell, man. Too funny.
- Too funny. - Is that a bed? - That's a bed there. - What is this brother? - Yeah, it's nuts. - Fuya said he has a little rant that he'd like to get off his chest. So bro, get some shit off your chest. - Just to give some context of this rant, there have been many of times where people have asked me, us, wherever on separate occasions or dual occasions like, oh, what's your like goats animes like top five, this, that and the other blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And we really love a few. And what always falls into probably like fourth or fifth place, I would always say My Hero Academia. And people would roll their eyes and be like, oh, how can you say it's not, how can you put in the top five, blah, blah, blah, this, that, and the other. And for years I've been defending that bitch. I know where this is going. This year, this season of My Hero Academia, they are on episode nine for context, I believe. The episode I've watched most recently is episode nine.
They've been doing a bunch of bollocks for nine episodes straight. And this is meant to be the pivotal season because this is meant to be the almshouse. Yeah. And it's safe to say I can no longer defend this anime. I can no longer defend this anime. I'm not locked in anymore. And it's so unfair because of the investment I've had in this show and the investment I've made.
And the amount of, I've doubled down on saying this is at least a top five anime. How can you man say it's not? I retract my statement now. And I'm just not impressed. I'm not happy with...
the speed in which they're not giving us arms. The fact that you're giving us like a Man United level breakdown on My Hero is giving me so much energy right now. It just shows how poor they've been. Rem, go to season five, please, or six, whichever latest season it is. The duty of care that they've given their fan base this year. Or even seven, imagine. Or even last year is... It's not fair. It's just not fair. And...
What happened in this latest episode, there were only like specs of Arms House. And it's like, why is it taking so long? Why do we need so much more backstory? Like the first episode was pretty decent with Stars and Stripes. Yeah, but they won them.
- They won Dundun, quick thing bro. - And this is why I thought, okay, from here we're just gonna have arms upon arms upon arms. Like there's gonna be so much development, so many new characters because they ended the previous season with Star and Stripe coming from America to try and help Japan. She's come and now she's dead. - They won Dundun bro. - It's pissed me off so much and I can now concur and I can now agree with the masses that My Hero Academia is not a top five anime.
It's such a slow burner and it's a shame because the only reason why I'm going so ham on this, this as well as this is, I know this is going to piss a lot of people off. Demon Slayer has been terrible this season. I didn't want to be that guy.
And audio listeners, visual watchers, whatever, you guys will know when something is juicy, we talk about it. We've not spoken about Demon Slayer or My Hero Academia. It's been out for two months. It's been coming out week after week. It's been out for two months. We've not said squeak. We've not said diddly squat. I'm up to date on that bitch. I ain't said a peep. It's a bunch of bullshit. And I'm tired of it.
It's a bunch of bullshit. Demon Slayer as a whole is amazing. This season has been a bunch of bullshit, Rem. They ended an episode with Donnie's flying a paper airplane. Yeah, they did end an episode like that. I couldn't believe what I was watching you, man. They were racing paper airplanes at one end of one episode. And reminiscing with Tokito and Demi. Like, why? Who cares, brother? Who cares? Fight some demons, bro. I had no idea it was back.
Because we've not been speaking about it because we're trash, bro. It really has been trash. These two later seasons of these two animes have been horrendous, bro. Yeah. Horrendous. And I don't know how confirmed this is, but the next episode of Demon Slayer is the last episode of the season. You can fuck right off. So I've heard. That's a fucking joke. It's a joke because...
Obviously, you know how the last, you're up to date on Demon Slayer. You know how it ended with my man, them two linking at the end. The demon and the, are you up to date on Demon Slayer? - Maybe not. The last one I watched was this guy and his training situation. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the last episode. So you- - The crying guy. - Yeah. - The crying Hashira with the legs. - Yeah, Stone Hashira. - Yeah, Stone Hashira with the legs. - Yeah. - Training them man. - Yeah. - And then the last thing I saw was Homegirl with the eyeballs.
saying I found another one, I found another one. And Michael Jackson was in the chair saying, "Ah, where are you?" Saying about the guy with the- - Oh, so that you've seen number six, there's number seven. - Oh. - So number seven, again, there's a backstory. His backstory is peak. - Okay, I've not seen, yeah. - His backstory is a little bit, okay, so you're not up to date. - I'm not up to date. - His backstory is a little bit peak, but at the end,
You can tell that episode, like episode eight will be hopefully arms because of what happens at the end. Muzan. Oh yeah. You actually see him. Okay. Cool. See him a bit more. Cool. Again, towards the end. And I've heard, I saw on Twitter that episode seven, I think include an adverse. They said on Twitter, it was going to be 40 minutes and episode eight is going to be an hour. Okay. One thing I will say to defend it. One thing I will say to defend it is I've heard that Muzan,
- People, basically people thought, you know how they did the movie at the beginning, right? - Yeah. - People clearly thought that the whole season was gonna be one movie. - Of this season. - Hasher Training Art. - Yeah, they thought it was gonna be one movie. - People thought, and I thought as well, from the promo, the whole season was gonna be a movie. - Yeah. - And a lot of people at the time who've read the manga were like, it makes sense because this arc is short.
So if it is a movie, it makes sense because it's fucking short. So I will give them a little bit of leeway to say that if next week is the last episode, I'll allow them because I did hear pre this season, this season's bare short. So, but that only comes off the back of if the next season is in two months time. Otherwise I'm not standing for it. I'm not waiting a year. I predict that, well, to double down on that,
Obviously the movie that did come out this summer. - That's not a movie. - Was. - That wasn't a movie. - Obviously wasn't a movie because it's the finale of the previous season and the first episode of this season. That's what the movie is. - That was. - It's a bunch of bullshit. - That was theft. - That is what that was. - Exactly what that was. - That was fucking white collar theft. - They needed to get their money off of you for table and I don't know why. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Bro. - It was a piss take. - They stole from us. - They did. They stole from the nation. - Yeah, bro. - And it was a piss take. But I feel like the reason why I am so like
hell bent on not even defending these motherfuckers anymore is because of what Kaiju number eight is doing. - Kaiju number eight is saving anime. - Kaiju number eight is, I can say this hands down, I'm not gonna change my mind until the end of the season. It's the best anime this season. It's going to win anime of the year. - It's disgusting. - It's going the same way, was it Chainsaw Man that won anime last year? No, Jujutsu won anime last year.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, it did. - It's going to win anime of the year this year. - I was gonna ask that. - And it's up against solo leveling, which is a fucking bombshell. - My hot take, Kaiju's better than solo leveling. I don't care what anyone says. I know we tried to dabble a few weeks ago. - You're confirmed. - I'm confirmed. - It's unreal. - Kaiju number eight is better than solo leveling. - Kaiju's fucking nuts. - I can stand on that. - And I knew it was nuts from when I watched the most recent, I think it's the most recent episode. The most recent episode when I was like, oh fuck.
yeah pops yeah from when I when I thought I was like oh okay not even finally but to just give them a break from what they've been the level they've been setting every week I was like finally it's a slower one it's a slower one they're taking them in it's all good until they until he said stand up and
- No! - And now he's lost his temper. - Yeah. - Oh, you man, you man don't understand. You man really don't understand. - Kaiju number eight. Anime of the year, hands down, best solo leveling. - It's scary good. - If this doesn't win awards, I am going to be majorly
and disappointed in everything else that comes out this year because nothing is topping this. - This is unbelievable. - Nothing is beating this. - This is unbelievable. What I will say, this is another show that's getting carried. So just for context, Demon Slayer, cool. I'm agree with you. Fucking bullshit this season. I'm giving them this smallest cushion because I did hear rumors that this season's crazy short, but at the end of the day, they're the ones who decided to make it. - Factual.
Fucking, what else did you say? My hero. My hero, yeah. One thing I will say, I kept my mouth shut while you were talking. My hero, bro.
Fuck My Hero Academia, bro. And I used to love this show. I feel like I've lost a child. I used to love and ride for this show, bro. - This is what I'm saying, man. - Fuck this show, bro. I hate this show right now. I fucking hate it, man. It's really pissed me off, man. I fucking hate this show right now. From the, from, oh, bro, all the way from last season.
They only cooked it up towards the end of the season where they got Deku being like some dark ominous bitch-a-lanty bro. And he looked like he was gonna kill some motherfuckers. Now he's straight back to being a pussy again. Immediately. All he needed was a good night's sleep apparently. They gave him one kip and all of a sudden he's crying again.
Bro, and the whole, I'm not even up to, I'm nowhere near up to that. I gave up, you man. When they were gassing this fucking Stars and Stripes, bro, saying that she's the second strongest hero in the world, and she pulled up on complete smoke. Complete smoke, bro. Bro, three quarters of the episode, she was dead. I was like, episode one of the season. And then obviously, I was a few, I'm thinking, if that's episode one of the season, they've murked off this strongest hero in the world, this season's gonna be chaos. Bro, the whole thing's been charged.
These times Kaiju number eight can't stop busting nuts. - It doesn't miss brother. - It can't stop. Just the sound effects alone are terrifying bro. - I can't remember the last time I was locked in for 23 minutes. Like boom, boom, boom. For every episode I'm locked in. I'm not on my phone, I'm locked in. - End of this episode that just went out last week. When I say the cliffhanger, I punched my bed three times.
I was watching it in bed on my laptop like this. As soon as it ended and they started the ending sequence, I punched my fucking bed three times. Give me more, bro. Kafka loses it. Yeah, he loses his mind. Lose!
- I'm salivating talking about this fucking show, bro. - This is the anime of the year. - It's too good. - Anime of the year. - And when I say I'm co-signing and when I say I loved solo leveling. - We all did. - I loved it. I didn't expect this to be a thing. - Nothing's beaten this this year. I don't care what comes out. Nothing's beaten this. And I'm 10 toes on that. - All right, cool. Thank you for that rant. I needed that. That set my energy and my testosterone up. Wow.
Fuck. Fuck my hero, man. Fuck my hero indeed. Yeah, damn, man. Do we have this on here? Waste of my fucking time. Yeah, we ain't got no my hero. I mean,
Deku's behind you. Yeah, Deku. And we got fucking All Might there. Yeah, we got too much. Fuck that, man. Fuck, man. Pissing me off, bro. I don't think anyone's ever been taken off the shelf. No one's been taken off the shelf. Bro, they deserve it. Oh, there's another one I was going to talk about. I know you, man, haven't really seen it. First season. Bro, there's a show called Jobless Reincarnation, yeah? I've seen parts of it. Mushoku Tensei, yeah? I'm on season two right now. Fuck this show as well.
Fuck this show as well. Insane potential, bro. - Yeah. - Insane potential in season one. Back half of season one into all of this season two, bullshit. It's a fucking romance novel now and not even a saucy one. - Fuck that one. - Season one, they had quite a lot of romance stuff in it,
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there was beef. - And when they were beefing, when I say these man were beefing bro. - I've stopped it now. - Bro, this season two some fucking horse shit. Oh, I'm so. - I've also stopped watching, what's that one you recommended that's not on any streaming service? The Ninja one, Ninja Kumai. - Kamui. - Kamui, sorry, yeah. - Yeah, fuck that show as well. - Really? - Yeah. - Hollow shell of a show bro. - It started off first like five, six episodes.
Then it transforms into like some Mecha anime. - Some Gundam stuff. - Gundam wing. - Yeah, brother. - And there's no like- - Brother. - This is what I think, yeah. When we say there's arms, arms, arms, and we love arms, doesn't mean that you can just pull up and do mindless arms and we're just gonna lap it up by little pussy holes, bro. You need to give us substance. You can't just be scrapping for no reason. And then we're just gonna be like, whoa. You can do that for episode one and two,
but I'm gonna need a story. - Yeah. - You can't just send someone on some revenge ting and just have them scrapping. He scraps every person he sees.
He's fighting them and they're all the fight is too much all the time, bro. It's just, there's just no, there's nothing to it, bro. It's lazy. Lazy. I sacked off that show. Yeah. Sacked off that fucking show. Literally the only thing that's like grabbing my balls right now is Kaiju number eight. Kaiju number eight. Sick. Only thing holding my attention. Anime wise. Uh,
- I'm livin' about it. - Am I watching anything else that I'm locked in on? Nah, I think that's actually it. - I'm livin' about it. - I did actually get up to episode six on X-Men 97. I think it's episode six. - Yeah. - On the other country, the mutant country. - I'm trying to remember now, 'cause I saw it a while ago and now I'm like backdating. - Oh, right, bro. They went to, I can't remember what it's called.
- Genusha or whatever. - Oh yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - No bro. - Oh, Windbreaker I was watching. That's what I was watching. Kinda suck that off as well. - Yeah, it's Windbreaker started off good. Maybe the first couple episodes and plus I liked the level of animation, but again, storyline, lackluster.
It's giving just a bit of a updated version of... This is a paid advertisement for BetterHelp. Bro. Talk to me. Real quick, ask me what my self-care non-negotiables are. What? Grounding. 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.

I have not finished that. - Very okay. - There's nothing I'm locked into. Long story short guys, I need something to lock into anime wise. That's "Kaiju" number eight level, or at least- - Now you're asking. - In and around. - You're asking. - In and around that level because
I'm just very much disappointed with the fact that I can put on an anime, an anime that I've known to love for years and just be there on my phone because I'm bored of what they're showing me. I'm absolutely bored of what they're showing me. It's so crazy. And you know it's mad when you're on your phone and you don't understand Japanese.
- Bro! - You're on your phone and you don't even understand Japanese. - And I'm looking up, I'm like, even though I've missed so much, I know this is all irrelevant. - Yeah. - This is all noise. - I heard this book of Giri is not bad, you know? - I've seen that, it's average. - Oh fuck. - I've seen all 12 episodes, it's average. All 30, it's average. And I thought it would be arms because it's Nappa. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, sorry, man. Right, you've got a recommendation for us now.
I spoke about this before. I mentioned it before. I couldn't remember the name. Type in presumed innocent. Jake Gyllenhaal. Apple TV. Fuck my life. It's a show.
- Yeah? - Presumed innocent Jake Gyllenhaal show. Scroll down please to cast. - The fact that you've said Jake Gyllenhaal at Apple TV in the same sentence, I already know. - Married. - I already know. I'm gonna suck his bottom lip off. - Married bro, zoom in for me please. You know my eyesight's poor.
So, Jake Gyllenhaal is an attorney at law, right? And he is married to Barbara, right? Interracial couple, lovely. This, that, and the other. He obviously, obviously every lawyer has a like number two, you know? And his number two is, this isn't a spoiler by the way, you see it in the trailer and happens like beginning of the first episode. It's this Carolyn chick,
Bottom right, yeah, there. She dies, long story short. And we try and figure out how she died, who killed her, and this, that, and the other. But like I said, she is Jake Gyllenhaal's, aka Rusty's, number two in the show. Long story short, these men were banging. Of course they were. These men were banging, right? Yep. And they were trying to figure out
Who obviously killed her because she got duppied and tied up in a specific way from one of their court cases they did together way back when. Oh, shit. And Tommy, Malto at the bottom. And if you scroll down a bit more, there's another. Oh, Oti. Is that Oti? But Oti's running for, I think he's running for, he's running for office. And Tommy is originally in...
in Rusty's like group or whatever but he like switches allegiance because for some reason there's a I've not seen it yet because I've only seen up to three episodes Tommy just doesn't like Rusty he's he's out to get Rusty for some reason and they're trying to find the way to pin everything on Rusty because they figured out he had a relationship when I say they see
They stick it on Rusty in the room. Pause, they stick it on him. The questions are so, Tommy's so casual with the questions and Jake Gyllenhaal is losing it. - Damn. - Losing it 'cause he's like, "When's the last time you saw, what's her name? "Carolyn, when's the last time you saw Carolyn?" "Oh, well, obviously we used to work together, "this and the other, so I would've seen her often." "Oh, when's the last time you text?" "Well, obviously we text often, blah, blah, blah."
when was the last time you were in our apartment? And that's when it starts to go down south. I say that's when it starts to go down south. Yeah, the way they've directed this show, the way they've entwined all the characters, I think there's only eight episodes in total. It is... When you also find out who else was potentially involved in this killing. Okay, cool. It takes a turn. When I say Jake is an...
I've said it before, I'll say it again, as an actor. - Yeah, we know. - And yeah, this is a show. - I'm down, bro. - This is a show. - Jake, you had me by the waist at fucking Jake meets Apple TV. - Apple TV. - That's too juicy. - Yeah, you know the production value is up. - Yeah, okay, say less, say less. - Very, very good show. - Let me clear my throat. I have a fucking recommend.
- I can't even finish the sentence bro. - I'm really, I'm locked. - I've got something for you, man. - I'm locked. - I've got something for you, man. - Say less. - It's called, "Tell Them You Love Me." - Okay. - So full disclosure, American ting, you're either gonna need-- - Did I say 9.9? Oh no, 6.9. - 6.9. Can't say 9.9. That'll be best of all time. - Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. - Tell them you love me, yeah?
- Yeah, full disclosure. - Full disclosure, you're either gonna need a kinky website to get on there or a VPN to watch it on American Netflix. Worth it! So, it's a documentary, bro. - Oh. - It's a documentary. Listen to this shit, yeah? So, this fucking documentary, yeah, follows a guy called Derek Johnson and basically he's got cerebral palsy. - Okay. - Key point, he's non-verbal. - Okay.
He's non-verbal and he has cerebral palsy. Okay. So he's like in his 30s, can't speak, can't communicate. And basically he's always been told like, oh, he's got like the brain age of like a one-year-old. And he had loads of seizures when he was born and stuff like that. It affects his brain massively. So anyway, he's never spoke. He's never communicated. He's never done anything, right? And...
people were like his brother interviewed his brother and his mom and they were basically saying like oh and it's produced by lewis rowe even though lewis rowe is not in it it's produced by lewis rowe interesting um so he's always been told that like um there's always little things that like his brother would say like oh he does this thing where we'll be talking about something something and sometimes he'll look at you or he'll make a gesture or something like that and you think this guy knows what we're talking about and he always had these little instances where you're like there's something there there is something there's literally something there right so
Anyway, like I said, he's in his 30s now and he's literally like five foot three. Like he's proper short, proper light. He has no muscle mass, everything like that. He can't walk by himself, everything, right? He's looked after by his mom and his brother. And basically what ends up happening, they take him to this school and like he meets some teachers at this school and it's for disabled people and like they teach him how to walk and he learns how to walk by himself and he gets a little bit stronger and obviously he's progressing and everything's great and everything's cool, right? Mm-hmm.
Then they hear about this concept called facilitated communication. And basically what that means is, is they've done like these studies on nonverbal disabled people who sometimes, again, if they've got cerebral palsy and stuff like that, they don't have any motor control. So like, obviously they can't speak and they can't control their limbs and shit like that. So if you were to ask them to type shit out, they wouldn't be able to do it. But,
They did some studies and like, all it takes is if you just like,
prop their arm up for example and hold their arm here and you obviously have to help them move a little bit and keep the control but they can they can type stuff like that and you can teach them and you can teach them how to read you teach me how to type and stuff like that and they did all these interviews bro where it's like oh my god my daughter i always thought there was nothing there they always told me she had the brain capacity of like a two-year-old now she's written nine short stories she's writing me letters she's telling me she loves me all this stuff and now i have a way to communicate with my daughter with the facilitate communication so his family are like oh
And they get introduced to this lady who's a teacher called Anna Stubblesfield. Anna is like a massive proponent for the disabled and facilitate communication. And she works in communication, everything like that. So the brother who's doing a course on disability and communication and stuff like that was like, oh, I want to introduce Anna to my brother, to Derek, and see if we can just like see what I want for this facilitated communication thing. Because maybe Derek could be like viable in it.
So she meets Derek and she tells us, she's like, oh, and it says when she introduces her, when you introduce her to the beginning of the thing, it says like, oh, Anna's just come out of Penn.
- Okay. - But she looks normal. She looks put together. She says, oh, she just come out of pen. So you're like, oh, what the fuck did she go pen for? And it's like, oh yeah, I first met Derek in this. And then like, I introduced him to a few letters and a few this, and like, he was really, really, really smart. And he picked it up really, really easy. And he made a few mistakes. Like he couldn't tell the difference between like capital letters and like lowercase letters and all this kind of shit, right? But we started the facilitated learning. I'm helping him prop up his arm. And all of a sudden,
like he's typing shit and he's typing like little words start off with little words and moved into sentences and then we're communicating and he's telling me how he feels tell me how he feels about his brother and his mom and like the typewriter thing that she has it saves all the conversations in there okay so you can see they're bringing up actual shit that he was typing right yeah and it was like he was really really passionate about like um he would always use word like you always use terminology about like
He's like, what do you call it? Like he's a silenced person in like, he lives in a silent world and now he can speak. He's finally been able to break free from the confines of all this kind of stuff. And he was way into like black history and he was all into this and he was like comparing himself and his disability to like what it must've been like for slavery and all this kind of stuff. And he's really passionate and really, really, really, really smart.
All of a sudden, he's writing like essays, like in-depth scientific essays about shit. And then his brother who has a PhD was like, bro, I fucking knew he was smart. Like I fucking knew it. Everyone's gas. Now he's out doing speeches and all this stuff. And all because of this facilitated learning shit, facilitated communication shit, he can express himself and he can do all this shit and everything's so cool, right? So...
Everything's going well. Anna and him are like bread and butter and he's taking classes. He's doing these presentations, he's doing all this stuff and he's able to communicate with Anna helping him on the typewriting. So all good, all good, all good. Then one day, obviously as I said, Anna's married bro. She's got married with kids bro. One day he's doing a lecture and someone, a Q and A thing and someone asked,
Obviously, I know how you feel about this and how you feel about that, but how do you feel about love and relationships? And Derek typed, "I would love to have a relationship and I would love to be married, but that thing doesn't exist for people with my disability." And then Anna said, like, when he typed that, it fucking murked her. And she said, "All I wanted to do was jump out and be like, 'You could have that with me,' but obviously I couldn't say nothing." So anyway, they're carrying on, carrying on, carrying on, yeah? And then
They're typing, typing, typing. And I can't remember what happened, but they said something and he just typed, I love you. Off the bat, I love you. She was like, fuck. So she told him, bro, I love you too. And then he typed, can I have a kiss? This is to Anna. To Anna. Yeah. Bear in mind, Anna's holding his arm while he has to type this shit. So he typed it. So that's, look how small he is. That's Derek there. This guy's nearly 40, bro.
Looks like a teenager, it's that. So anyway, he's typing, can I have a kiss? So she's giving him a kiss and she's thinking, fuck, I'm married, I've got kids, like everything, bro. And he's like, can I have another kiss? She's like, fuck, she's giving him another kiss. And she's like, bro, we're in love. I don't know how this is gonna pattern, but we're in love. He's non-verbal. Cerebral palsy, bro. It's techie. It's techie. Yeah, I can imagine. Anyway. So obviously now,
- Anna's getting a bit comfy with the family. - Yeah. - So she's with him a lot. - Yeah, makes sense. - And all of a sudden, like they could be in the car, Anna's in the car with the brother and the mom and Derek, and they could be listening to gospel, for example. Anna will change the radio to classic and be like, "Derek wants to listen to classic."
And her mom's like, who is this bitch touching my radio? And she'll snap it back to gospel and be like, Derek loves gospel, bro. Shut the fuck up. And then it will always be like, you're babying him. You don't need to do this. You can't be choosing his clothes. He's a grown man.
put his ass on a typewriter and ask him what he wants to wear so she will be like oh derek do you want to wear this um and he'll be like no and then she'll come back to the mom cc he doesn't want to wear it and i'm like fuck what's all this shit like i've been raising him like what is all this shit now that she like she like he can type and all this kind of stuff right so anyway they're at dinner one time anna's over there with dinner and all of a sudden derek wants to type so anna grabs his hand and he wants to type shall we tell them
- Before you continue, how does Derek show that he wants to say something without Ana's like actively putting her hand? - I think it's just, they don't actually get too deep into it. I think it's just like gestures or whatever. - Okay, okay, okay, okay. - And they might be like, oh, do you want to type? And they'll just grab his hand and see if he reaches for it and stuff like that. So anyway, types, shall we tell them? - He's typing this. - Yeah, the mom looks over and she's like, tell me what? And Ana's like, fuck sake, fine, we'll tell them in a minute. Derek and I are in love.
My mom says, excuse me? Derek and I are in love. The brother's like, big man. It's a breach of God knows how. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you talking about? He's like, oh, Derek is eloquent. He's smart. He's intelligent. Like we have a bond. We have a connection. He's the type of guy I want in my life. And like, I want to leave my husband. I want to be with Derek. Boy, oh boy. So they're like, nah. Like off the bat, nah. Like nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Not happening. So basically they kick her out.
- Well, they go to kick her out and they're like, "Oh, like when you say you were in love, like how has this come about?" It's just like, "Oh, this is what happened." And like, he said, "I want a relationship." And I felt, I knew that I loved him and we've been communicating and I've told him that I love him. He tells me that he loves me and we kissed. And then mum said, "Did you do anything else but kiss?" And I was like, "Oh, that's a little bit I forgot." Because before they came out to the mum, there was one day, you might want to believe this. There was one day they were at the yard, innit?
And the mumsy was out. So Derek's like, it's getting heated now. So Derek's like, can I have a kiss? - Yeah. - And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Kiss, kiss, kiss. - This is post the first time they've kissed. - This is post the first time. This is the second link up. - Okay. - Since they first lips. - Okay. - Derek's typing now, I wanna touch your breasts. - So she has to- - She grabbed his hand and was like, all right G, do your thing. Man just straight up type, get the garms off. He tired tired, this is what I've been waiting for. Get those garms off.
- It's also awkward that she has to- - Yeah, she has to facilitate it. So he's like, "Get that kit off now." So she's like, "Gang." - That's what I've been waiting for too. - "Fam!" - That's what I've been waiting for too. - Yeah, I've been waiting for this. She gets the garms off, bro, they banged. Broski, so they slept together. So Munzee's now like, "Have you done anything morning kiss?" Anna's like, "Embarrassing, but yeah, yeah, we have."
And I was like, get the fuck out my yard right now. Get the fuck out of my yard now, big man. Factual though. Facts. Oh God, bro. Get the fuck out. Factual. So Anna's like, all right, I'm gonna give you man your time. Yeah. But cool. We're going to work this out kind of thing. Yeah. I'm ready to leave my man and be with Derek. Mom's like, shut the fuck up. Get out. Yeah. So she, uh, the next day there, they're just flustered, flustered, flustered. Yeah. And, um,
Derek is like bugging out a little bit. He misses Anna in it. And obviously he can't communicate. So they're like, all right, cool. You know what? Fuck this bitch. Fuck this school. Fuck all of it, bro. We're just gonna homeschool him. And if he's obviously- - That's what mumsy's saying. - This is what mumsy's saying. This is what brother's saying. We're kicking, we're stop, he's not going to school anymore. This is all madness. He ain't seeing her again. It's charged, yeah? So again,
They're like, cool. Obviously you got no Anna, but how hard can this facilitate communication be? Like we grab his arm and he types out what he wants to type out. So Broski grabs his arm. What do you want to say? Gibberish. And they're like, well, it's a bit more complicated than we thought. Let's try again tomorrow. Yeah. Broski, what do you want to say? Bro's not, Derek ain't typing shit. So they're like,
What's going on? - Yeah. - Like I've seen your letters, I've seen your essays, I've seen like, are you just upset? - Yeah. - Like what's going on? Why are you not talking bro? Like, what do you want bro? Day after day after day after day, they're trying, bro ain't typing nothing. So they call up this lawyer who's worked with facilitated communication before. And then basically the lawyer has a system in which
in cases of facilitated communication because there's been cases before, criminal cases before where someone, basically there was a case where a non-verbal disabled person, as soon as they started using facilitated communication was like, fucking, I don't even know, like my uncle's a pedophile or something.
So they were like, whoa, serious accusation. So basically they've done a test and been like, this lawyer has a test where basically he shows the communicator a picture and then he'll close his book
and show the disabled. So he's got a book here and be like, I'm showing you a picture. Cool, cool, cool. Got the picture and it could be a spoon. And then I'll close it and I'll open it to the disabled person, non-verbal disabled person. But once I close it, it opens up in a different picture, but you can't see it's a different picture. So you're thinking it's a spoon. So I'm now showing a cat to the disabled person and I'm like, cool, you got the picture, right? Tell me what you saw on a typewriter. Spoon.
there's no way this person is typing spoon the facilitator is taking their arm and typing spoon so they've sent derek now to see homeboy just to clear this up he puts four pictures on the table and he's like broski tell me which one is spoon tell me which one in the cat swiping all kinds of they interviewed him after and they were like cool so like
What age range would you say Derek is at, like, mentally? He's like, brother, I'll give bro six months at best. The most I learned about Derek is he likes coat hangers. He found my coat hangers in the wardrobe and was smacking that bitch on the table. I couldn't get nothing else from him. So...
they're bailed they got a police round yeah belled anna the mumsy belt anna was like anna right derek's a mess without you he misses you he needs you i need you just so i can get over this yeah obviously you say you want derek to be with you i understand where you're coming from but to get over this i'm his mom i need you to tell me right now how many times did you have sex with my son she was like oh there was one time at your yard and then there was another time at the office and then she was like
Obviously, Brodsky barely moved. Like, how did you facilitate this? She was like, oh, in the office, I laid down. That morning, I brought a yoga mat and a towel into work, laid it down on the office, picked him up out of his wheelchair, laid him on the ground, and we had sex. And the brother was like, and it cut to the brother, and it was like, bro, there was one time he came home and he had fucking, like, blisters and shit on his back.
and like burns and stuff on his back. And I rang the school like what the fuck happened to his back? Like it's all bruised and bloody and all shit. And the school's like, I don't fucking know. Bro, it's the time she must have laid him down and rode him so hard that his back was fucked. Brother, the whole time you man, home girl was taking his arm saying,
I love you, Anna. Can I have a kiss? And she's like, sure, Derek, you can have a kiss. Kiss. I love you, Anna. Can I touch your breasts? Sure, Derek, you can touch my breasts. Grabbing his hand, touching breasts. Bro, when I say they sent this girl to Penn so fast, it was...
- Jesus Christ, what a twist. - She R worded the shit out of Derek twice bro. - Didn't she just? - And went straight to Penn. It was scary bro. - Wow, and she got her husband and kids. - She got her husband and kids. Husband made a statement to the court and was like, she's a pathological liar, lock her up now. - Wow. - But she had a suspended sentence. She got like a shorter sentence.
It was really heartbreaking, bro. When I say you man, when I say I was struggling to watch, struggling to watch when this whole thing was unfolding, struggling to watch. Soon as you saw the lawyer do the thing and he was like, bro, I've had multiple cases where, and then he's saying, the lawyer was saying, I'm not even accusing these communicators of doing this on purpose. I think they genuinely believe that the people are typing this stuff, but they're not bro. But she won an appeal because
Basically, one thing that the court fucked up was that when she was going through the trial and all this kind of stuff, the court refused to admit testimony about facilitated communication.
So they were allowing the lawyer to be like, here's why it doesn't work. And here's my testing. But anyone in support and anyone who was willing to come in and be like, I've got studies that can show you the latter. Because there was a case where basically there was testimony where...
there was a time where Anna wasn't the one doing his communication. So there was a thing where Derek had to read these books and then type out essays about the books. And it wasn't Anna that was helping him, it was another girl. - Okay. - And he did the essays and the girl hadn't read the books. - Oh, okay. So it couldn't have been her. - It couldn't have been her. But the essays were accurate to the books. So when they were going for the trial,
Like that, for example, and other people that were like, I've got categorical evidence that it works. The court was like, we're not seeing it. We're not seeing it. We're just going from the start. That doesn't work. And that's why she's going pen. So because of that, she appealed and they let her out. So technically, we don't know if it was assault or not, but the way it was framed. Yeah. You man. Wow. Couldn't finish my dinner, bro. Wow. Couldn't finish my dinner, bro. Wow. Yeah. Wow. Wow.
Yeah, I was right. Like, wow. Yeah. To take advantage like that. Brother, stop. It was insane. Honestly, it was terrifying. Terrifying is the word. Terrifying, bro. The mum was, the mum and the brother murked. Murked. Wow. That was a documentary. That is one of the most impactful documentaries I've ever seen in my life. Is it just one and one or one and done? One and done, bro. Yeah. I might give that a watch. It was concerning. Damn. Yeah, it was nuts, bro.
Wow. It was nuts. Anyway, we've got trash news to finish, Rem. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Boyfriend who dated 35 women and told each one he had a different birthday so he regularly received gifts is arrested for fraud in Japan. Arrested for fraud? Yeah. That's insane. Yeah. Arrested for, yeah, Ananya sent this one in, by the way. Um,
yeah the comments were along the same lines of how you've just reacted arrested you can get arrested for lying basically it's the question interesting takashi miya miyagawa a japanese man was accused of dating at least five women in order to collect as many birthday presents as possible according to multiple japanese news sources the part-time worker told one 47 year old girlfriend that his birthday was february 22nd but said to another 40 year old woman that his birthday was in july
Another 35-year-old woman thought Miyagawa's birthday was in April. His actual birthday is November 13th, reports said. It's unclear how exactly Miyagawa's scam unraveled, but in February 2021, the women banded together to form a Victims Association.
It's not even that much, is it? 100,000 yen, what is that? I don't think that's much at all. Five bills. They arrested him for 500 pounds? Five bills. Wow. Just under. Wow. Damn.

- Oh, it doesn't say. - It doesn't say. - We don't know. - I was gonna say, 'cause he seems to be aiming at these mid 40, mid age women. I'm assuming, 'cause linking them is physically impossible. He spent way more than 500 pounds just keeping up with the calendar. Yeah, how they clocked it,
35 is too much bro. - 35 is way too much. - Way too much. And the fact that they 35 of them together and you only scrapped like scrounge up 500 quid, you're not putting in the work. - The return on investment was- - Yeah, you need to cut that down drastically and put it in the work.
Get way more out of way few. Yeah. Yeah. Get about six to 10. Six to 10. And bleed them dry. Bleed them dry. Look at 35 and get five bills. The fuck? He got his maths complete. Yeah, man.
