Let's Talk About... Big News!!! Ep.60

[00:00:11] Right then guys, welcome back to Lets Talk About, Liam here as always and you'll never guess what, Billy is back with us. Billy, how the hell are you?

[00:00:18] I'm alright, I'm alright, how are you my mate?

[00:00:20] I'm alright.

[00:00:22] Good man, good man.

[00:00:23] Weird because we've just done this two minutes ago but something was wrong in this setting so we've had to start again.

[00:00:27] So, tell the people where the hell you've been mate.

[00:00:30] So, just been caught up with life essentially. I've got a, as you all know, or at least most of you all know, I've got a newborn baby now.

[00:00:39] Three month old, little girl.

[00:00:42] So, lack of sleep plays a big factor.

[00:00:45] Helping the missus whenever I can, I'm at work full time as well so...

[00:00:49] And, you know, she's got, I've got a six year old son at the same time so just trying to help her as much as I can.

[00:00:55] She's been suffering, she had preeclampsia when she had Ariana so she's been a...

[00:01:00] It's been in a bit of a bad way but I'm doing what I can to try and help which has restricted my time in terms of the podcast.

[00:01:07] So, I know I've missed some good ones, I know I've missed some bangers.

[00:01:10] Liam's kept...

[00:01:11] It's not good enough mate, it's not good enough.

[00:01:16] Right then, I'll give you some more.

[00:01:17] So, work, got a new takeover at work so we've been handling that.

[00:01:20] And also, as you all know, the whole situation with my, me mother being in jail currently.

[00:01:27] We're still awaiting a court date.

[00:01:28] She actually was supposed to have a plea deal today and it's been adjourned.

[00:01:32] So, that's still up in the air.

[00:01:35] But...

[00:01:35] I mean, surely, in the nicest way possible, mate, we must be like the ultimate true crime podcast now then.

[00:01:41] Oh, definitely mate, definitely.

[00:01:44] It's got to be right up there, man.

[00:01:46] You know, it's a good job we can laugh about things, isn't it?

[00:01:48] Definitely, definitely.

[00:01:50] But no, we've got, me and Liam have got a bit more of a road map, a bit more of a plan in place now.

[00:01:55] It was sort of very improvised.

[00:01:58] We both had a lot going on personally.

[00:02:02] So, it has been difficult.

[00:02:05] Liam's a lot better at managing time than I am.

[00:02:10] I've...

[00:02:11] No, I'm just committed to it, you see.

[00:02:13] That's the thing there.

[00:02:14] Hey, I'm committed.

[00:02:17] No, I want to let everyone know that I don't give up on this podcast whatsoever.

[00:02:21] I have no intentions of doing that.

[00:02:23] But it's got to points where Liam's been worried and I know he's thought,

[00:02:27] I think he wants to quit.

[00:02:29] That's not the case at all.

[00:02:30] And I've done that by now.

[00:02:32] I've had the chance, you know, and I'm close enough to Liam to tell him that.

[00:02:35] If that was how I was feeling, it's not how I'm feeling.

[00:02:37] I've got an amazing vision for where this is going to go in the future.

[00:02:42] What are you laughing at?

[00:02:44] All I can see is Billy from Saw behind you.

[00:02:49] Yeah, okay.

[00:02:50] Yeah, that's...

[00:02:51] Believe it or not, mate, that is...

[00:02:53] My Christmas tree if I just turn this for you.

[00:02:59] Jesus Christ.

[00:02:59] You're going to have to put a picture of that up on the bloody Instagram then.

[00:03:02] I'm going to, yeah.

[00:03:03] Why are you not on there already?

[00:03:04] It's what?

[00:03:05] Because I'm waiting for the lights.

[00:03:07] All right.

[00:03:07] I've ordered some red lights and some more like horror theme barbels.

[00:03:10] So, yeah, little horror theme Christmas tree, guys.

[00:03:13] We'll put it on the Instagram as soon as it's done and ready.

[00:03:17] Let your off then.

[00:03:18] And I've been working on the setup, which will be soon as well.

[00:03:22] Right.

[00:03:23] Right.

[00:03:23] Well, like I say, set up something we're going to be talking about later on in this episode.

[00:03:27] We should clarify, this is a bit of an unfiltered episode where me and you were just having a little catch-up, isn't it?

[00:03:32] Yes, yes.

[00:03:33] So, everyone, yeah, this is an unfiltered episode where me and Liam are having a catch-up and you guys are catching up alongside us.

[00:03:38] Yeah, because annoyingly, well, we missed it really.

[00:03:41] It's been our birthday, mate.

[00:03:45] Yes, yes, it has.

[00:03:47] It has.

[00:03:47] One whole year of let's talk about.

[00:03:50] And I have thoroughly enjoyed it.

[00:03:52] I mean, we've made so many memories already.

[00:03:54] I've met so many incredible people, bits of everything.

[00:03:58] It's, you know, I can't wait for what the future holds.

[00:04:01] And I mean, we know the plans.

[00:04:03] We don't want to announce all of them, but yeah.

[00:04:05] Well, later on we will do.

[00:04:07] Yes, yes.

[00:04:10] I want to take you back to the very beginning, mate, of our podcast journey because, well, it's actually longer than a year our podcast journey started.

[00:04:18] Can you remember?

[00:04:20] How it started?

[00:04:22] Hmm.

[00:04:22] So, is this our overall podcast journey are we talking here, Liam?

[00:04:25] Yeah.

[00:04:26] Yes.

[00:04:27] So, for everyone who doesn't know, me and Liam started out doing a football podcast.

[00:04:34] So, this isn't actually let's talk about one year of podcast.

[00:04:38] This is my release.

[00:04:39] No, it is.

[00:04:39] It is because that was the 12th.

[00:04:41] It's one year of let's talk about.

[00:04:42] But like I said, our podcast journey in general is a bit longer than a year.

[00:04:48] Right.

[00:04:48] So, yeah, me and Liam started doing a football podcast.

[00:04:51] And as much as we enjoyed it, and we both love football or soccer for you Americans,

[00:04:59] it was just a little bit too much.

[00:05:01] And it got very stale.

[00:05:03] It was a lot of the same things.

[00:05:05] We did try to come up with ideas, but it's very difficult because there's that much of it out there.

[00:05:11] And we wanted to do something different, sorry, and something that we could get a little bit more involved in ourselves as well.

[00:05:18] Yeah, it was hard work doing the football one.

[00:05:20] It was.

[00:05:21] It was keeping up with all the scores week in, week out, and remembering what had happened prior to things.

[00:05:27] It was just, it was absolute chaos.

[00:05:29] I think we'd have been down the gutter, mate, if we kept that one up.

[00:05:33] I won't lie.

[00:05:34] Yeah, definitely.

[00:05:36] I'm just going back here.

[00:05:37] I've got the first message I sent you.

[00:05:42] I remember it.

[00:05:43] I remember it.

[00:05:44] Do you want to test me?

[00:05:45] Go on, what was the first message I sent you?

[00:05:47] So, you sent me a completely out of the blue random message.

[00:05:52] Now, give everyone a bit of context in case you don't know.

[00:05:54] Me and Liam worked together in a pub for way back, what year?

[00:05:59] 2018?

[00:06:00] We'll put it this way, Miv.

[00:06:03] Might have been longer than that.

[00:06:05] No, so, no.

[00:06:06] Well.

[00:06:07] No, no.

[00:06:08] Yeah, it was longer than that.

[00:06:09] It was longer than that.

[00:06:11] Yeah.

[00:06:11] So, obviously, I messaged you.

[00:06:13] Well, I'll give you the date.

[00:06:15] I won't tell you what it said.

[00:06:15] So, I messaged you on the 15th of August, 2023.

[00:06:19] Right.

[00:06:19] I was going to first message about the podcast.

[00:06:21] Before that, the last time I messaged you before that was the 4th of September, 2018.

[00:06:26] There we go.

[00:06:28] Fair play.

[00:06:29] Go on then.

[00:06:29] What did I say to you?

[00:06:31] So, that's five years out of the blue, by the way, guys.

[00:06:33] Don't get me wrong.

[00:06:34] Liam had crossed paths.

[00:06:35] Oh, yeah.

[00:06:36] We've still seen each other plenty of times.

[00:06:37] We always spoke when we saw each other.

[00:06:39] But, yeah.

[00:06:40] He messaged me completely out of the blue.

[00:06:42] And he quite simply asked if I wanted to do a podcast with him.

[00:06:46] He said he remembered that I did, like, YouTube and things.

[00:06:49] Well, actually, right.

[00:06:50] Hang on.

[00:06:50] So, my first actual message to you was, now then, lad.

[00:06:53] How's it going?

[00:06:54] Probably a mental question.

[00:06:55] You're still at the football.

[00:06:57] Oh, yes.

[00:06:58] Yes, it was.

[00:06:58] Yes, yes.

[00:06:59] No.

[00:07:00] Yeah, it's come back to me now.

[00:07:02] And you were trying to say, now then, mate.

[00:07:04] Yeah, all good, mate.

[00:07:05] Getting by as you do yourself.

[00:07:07] Of course I am, pal.

[00:07:08] Why?

[00:07:10] It was a very random question from Liam.

[00:07:13] Yeah, I know.

[00:07:14] I didn't know where that was going.

[00:07:17] So, the actual thing was, so, what did I say?

[00:07:21] So, I said, good man.

[00:07:22] Right.

[00:07:22] So, basically, I listened to a lot of podcasts and always wanted to do one.

[00:07:25] And then an ice orgy for some reason.

[00:07:28] And then I said, obviously, me and Kate had done one, but it wasn't for her.

[00:07:32] I said, I want to start a football one.

[00:07:34] And I know you've done your YouTube stuff before, so I was wondering if you fancy doing it with us.

[00:07:38] Like, an hour or so a week.

[00:07:39] I've got all the gear for it.

[00:07:41] Microphones and everything.

[00:07:44] Oh, God.

[00:07:44] It's crazy, isn't it?

[00:07:46] Yeah, I feel a bit sick reading that, actually.

[00:07:48] It's fucking weird.

[00:07:50] It's cringy, actually.

[00:07:51] What was my reply, though?

[00:07:53] Oh, yeah, you were well up for it.

[00:07:54] I've turned it off now.

[00:07:55] I don't actually know exactly what you're talking about.

[00:07:57] I felt sick to have to take my phone off.

[00:08:01] Yeah, it was nice for me because I've always wanted to do something like that.

[00:08:07] It gets very stale when you do it on your own.

[00:08:10] You can give up quite easily.

[00:08:12] I've done multiple things, as Liam knows.

[00:08:14] I've tried multiple different things.

[00:08:16] And it's not that I've given up.

[00:08:17] It's just that I've kind of lost interest because you're doing it on your own.

[00:08:20] But when you've got somebody who you know really well, you've got your good mates with that's open to do it as well.

[00:08:27] Because it takes some...

[00:08:29] There's no two ways about it, especially where me and Liam live.

[00:08:32] You need some balls to get out there and do it.

[00:08:34] Because you will be criticised for it.

[00:08:37] You will be taken the piss out of.

[00:08:39] But you get to a point where you just completely get past that.

[00:08:42] And I'd had events prior when I was doing YouTube and I was doing the whole music stuff where I reached a point where I was like, yeah, I just don't give a shit.

[00:08:50] And then people start to like it.

[00:08:53] And then that's, yeah, happy days from now.

[00:08:55] That's where we are now.

[00:08:57] Have you given up with the music, by the way?

[00:08:59] No.

[00:09:00] For people that don't know.

[00:09:01] No, no, I haven't.

[00:09:03] It's been a long time, but I'm trying...

[00:09:05] I don't ever want to put out something that I'm not happy with.

[00:09:08] Obviously, technical issues, as you know all too well about Liam.

[00:09:12] Me trying to get the best quality I can.

[00:09:16] I've got a lot of music wrote, finished, ready.

[00:09:20] I just need to produce a problem.

[00:09:23] And I do it all by myself, so...

[00:09:24] I don't want to work with a producer or anything.

[00:09:27] Well, not that I don't want to.

[00:09:28] It's just one of those things, isn't it?

[00:09:32] Yeah, fair enough, man.

[00:09:35] Well, yeah, well, like you say, you've done loads of little YouTube stuff before, hadn't you?

[00:09:40] Obviously, I mean, you've done your first investigation at Kirk Leigham.

[00:09:45] Yes.

[00:09:47] Which we are going to be talking about very soon.

[00:09:49] Aye.

[00:09:49] I know you've done FIFA stuff and everything before, haven't you?

[00:09:52] I have done, absolutely, yes.

[00:09:53] Yeah, done FIFA.

[00:09:55] Did you do Call of Duty stuff as well once, or?

[00:09:57] I did.

[00:09:58] I did Call of Duty.

[00:09:59] I did vlogs once upon a time.

[00:10:02] Did videos of yourself doing kick-ups?

[00:10:04] Yep, did that.

[00:10:07] It's still on your page, you know.

[00:10:09] No, no, they're privated again.

[00:10:12] No, they weren't last time I looked.

[00:10:13] Although I might have un-primated them, because I said to Dalla,

[00:10:15] I said, look, if something happens to me and I pop my clogs,

[00:10:19] then I want Jaden to be able to look back and think,

[00:10:21] eh, his dad weren't too bad.

[00:10:23] I've got football with you, mate, and you can do kick-ups.

[00:10:28] Yeah.

[00:10:29] Yeah, it's completely different when you're on the field.

[00:10:31] Completely different.

[00:10:32] But he'll have to ask some of my old friends for that.

[00:10:37] But yeah, I think we've done well, mate.

[00:10:40] I think we have.

[00:10:41] I think, you know, there's so many things that have happened

[00:10:44] during both of our lives within this time.

[00:10:47] And we've managed to, barely at times,

[00:10:51] but we've managed to keep going.

[00:10:54] And almost all the way through, keep on schedule.

[00:10:58] And massive props to you.

[00:11:00] Because, guys, I've, you know,

[00:11:03] I've maybe done a handful of some of the trailers

[00:11:06] and the logo work, stuff like that.

[00:11:11] Merchandise and bits and bobs and videos here and there.

[00:11:14] But Liam has been hands-on the full-time work.

[00:11:18] He's worked full-time all the way through.

[00:11:20] Bear in mind, I went part-time for it.

[00:11:22] And I know how much of a pain audio is and editing

[00:11:25] and listening to it back.

[00:11:26] And me and Liam cock up like, no tomorrow.

[00:11:28] You don't hear it, but we fucking do.

[00:11:32] That's why I love doing the guest episodes now, mate.

[00:11:34] Because I hardly have to do any editing.

[00:11:37] Yeah, yeah.

[00:11:37] When me and you do it, it's constantly...

[00:11:40] I'm going to have to take that bit out.

[00:11:42] Shit!

[00:11:43] Yeah, yeah.

[00:11:44] Over and over.

[00:11:45] All the time.

[00:11:45] Exactly.

[00:11:46] That's true.

[00:11:47] So massive props to Liam's, to you, Liam.

[00:11:49] Give yourself a hand on the back, mate.

[00:11:51] Because you've not stopped.

[00:11:53] Yeah.

[00:11:53] I mean, I think it shows how much of the...

[00:12:00] Should we say perfectionist?

[00:12:01] I am that I'm fucking still genuinely pissed off

[00:12:04] about the laptop dying incident.

[00:12:06] Yeah!

[00:12:08] So basically, since the year that we've done this now,

[00:12:12] we've missed two episodes, basically.

[00:12:14] Yeah.

[00:12:14] One which essentially we got out just later.

[00:12:17] Mm-hmm.

[00:12:18] And then, obviously, last Sunday, which was...

[00:12:23] I mean, it's the 25th now, so...

[00:12:25] Yeah, we had that.

[00:12:26] So last Sunday, which was the 17th.

[00:12:29] Yes.

[00:12:29] So we missed the episode on the 17th of November.

[00:12:32] And then, again, that wasn't by really our fault.

[00:12:36] No, again, it was technical difficulties.

[00:12:38] Basically, our internet went off.

[00:12:39] Yes.

[00:12:40] My Wi-Fi went down.

[00:12:41] Yeah.

[00:12:41] And I wanted to prove to Liam that that was the case,

[00:12:43] because that's like the period where Billy was almost non-existent.

[00:12:47] But we were sat on the phone for about an hour trying to fix the issue.

[00:12:50] It just wasn't having it.

[00:12:51] We tried everything possible.

[00:12:53] 40 minutes after my internet came on,

[00:12:55] but I was in bed and just got kids to sleep.

[00:12:58] So it just kind of passed the point then.

[00:12:59] But, yeah.

[00:13:01] Yeah, it was a ball-eck.

[00:13:02] And like I said, that stuff still does bloody annoy me.

[00:13:05] So it just shows how I am with things.

[00:13:09] Like, I have to get it done.

[00:13:11] Yeah.

[00:13:11] Yeah.

[00:13:12] Commitment.

[00:13:12] It's good.

[00:13:13] Exactly.

[00:13:14] All right, go on then.

[00:13:15] Let's have a look back over the year, mate.

[00:13:17] Give me what have been some of your favourite episodes, moments, guests.

[00:13:22] Oof.

[00:13:23] Take turns.

[00:13:24] God, there's a lot.

[00:13:26] So I think, obviously, I have to...

[00:13:28] 69 episodes.

[00:13:29] Yeah.

[00:13:30] I have to give massive props.

[00:13:31] And I believe it was our very first episode where I was talking about the paranormal equipment

[00:13:35] that we use.

[00:13:36] And, you know, all the way back then we were talking about using it one day in a video.

[00:13:40] And it took a long time, finding the time and stuff to get out there and do it.

[00:13:44] And we've done it.

[00:13:46] You know, it might not be the longest video in the world.

[00:13:48] I managed to get it 41 minutes, which I didn't expect.

[00:13:50] But I'm very happy I managed to do that.

[00:13:53] And it's an enjoyable watch as well.

[00:13:56] It's not stale.

[00:13:57] I've tried to sort of edit it in a way where you can keep watching and keep you...

[00:14:01] You know, there's always something that's around the corner, whether it's Liam shitting himself

[00:14:05] or stick figures appearing on the screen.

[00:14:09] Who knows?

[00:14:10] Or us getting lost.

[00:14:11] Or us getting lost, yeah.

[00:14:13] Full Blair Witch.

[00:14:14] All right.

[00:14:14] But, yeah, that has to...

[00:14:17] So the original episode, that was one of my favourites.

[00:14:21] The zombie apocalypse, that has to be one of my favourites.

[00:14:25] It was such a laugh doing that episode.

[00:14:27] And we have another thing, similar pipeline, don't we, at some point when we get round to doing it.

[00:14:33] Very similar to that.

[00:14:34] So, I mean, for everybody listening right now as I'm speaking to Liam, obviously I can see him on camera.

[00:14:39] He is wearing the How I Survived a Zombie Apocalypse merchandise t-shirt that we made.

[00:14:44] So, that episode's very special to us.

[00:14:48] Yeah, because, I mean, I remember when...

[00:14:50] Because that was when...

[00:14:51] Christ, that was when the room that we used to record in, my old spare room, that was when...

[00:14:58] I mean, Christ, it was like, well, it was a fucking storage unit, wasn't it?

[00:15:00] Yeah.

[00:15:01] Me and you were just in the bloody corner on a tiny little desk.

[00:15:04] Yeah, wow.

[00:15:05] And that was when, like you say, that was when we'd come up for the idea with that.

[00:15:07] And both of us were just like, oh, I can't wait to do this.

[00:15:10] Can we just do it now?

[00:15:11] We're just making it up as we go.

[00:15:12] Yeah.

[00:15:14] We were very excited.

[00:15:16] And then we got our stories done and then my laptop died.

[00:15:19] I was about to say, and that's also the episode, we had the very first technical difficulty,

[00:15:23] where Liam literally is that committed.

[00:15:26] The very next day, he ordered a new MacBook to get this resolved.

[00:15:32] Which I'm still paying for.

[00:15:36] So, go and buy yourselves a t-shirt and help us out.

[00:15:38] Yes, please.

[00:15:40] There's more of that.

[00:15:41] More t-shirts coming soon, actually.

[00:15:44] One of my other favourite episodes absolutely has to be when we did the podcast with Sean and Shannon.

[00:15:50] That was such a laugh.

[00:15:52] And it was so unfiltered that it was chaos.

[00:15:55] By the way.

[00:15:55] In the best way possible.

[00:15:58] It was ridiculous.

[00:15:59] It was so much fun to record.

[00:16:02] Yeah, that has to be one of my favourites as well.

[00:16:04] I mean, I've enjoyed every single guest one.

[00:16:07] Meeting new people, that's what I'm about.

[00:16:09] You know, the...

[00:16:11] I mean, we've had a fair few guests now.

[00:16:13] I mean, we've had Mark on twice.

[00:16:15] We've had the other Sean on.

[00:16:17] We've had...

[00:16:19] I mean, Tommy's been on three times, four times technically.

[00:16:23] Yeah, which I've missed two of, which I'm really annoyed about.

[00:16:27] But, uh...

[00:16:28] Tommy, we'll get there, mate.

[00:16:31] We will get there.

[00:16:33] We've had witches.

[00:16:34] We've had everything, mate.

[00:16:35] So it's bigger.

[00:16:36] It's only going to be more.

[00:16:37] I mean, it's like...

[00:16:37] I mean, obviously we're going to be biased.

[00:16:39] But I don't think we've had a bad guest.

[00:16:42] No, I don't think we have.

[00:16:43] There's never been a guest on where I've sat.

[00:16:46] And I've said to Liam afterwards,

[00:16:49] that was a bit stale.

[00:16:50] I don't know if that's worth putting out or things like that.

[00:16:54] Oh, no.

[00:16:54] We've definitely recorded episodes just the two of us

[00:16:56] where we've been like, nah, fuck that.

[00:16:58] Yeah, a fair few.

[00:16:59] Fair few.

[00:17:00] But yeah, all the guest ones,

[00:17:02] I don't know whether we've just been really lucky or...

[00:17:05] Yeah.

[00:17:05] ...or what.

[00:17:06] But yeah, everyone's been brilliant.

[00:17:08] We're both.

[00:17:09] And another one of my favourite moments.

[00:17:12] Absolutely.

[00:17:13] And I think it might be number one for me, Liam.

[00:17:18] I think it's quite obvious.

[00:17:19] No, I mean, Cleve.

[00:17:20] It's Kirkley from it.

[00:17:22] Oh, yes.

[00:17:24] It was just you.

[00:17:26] I still, to this day,

[00:17:28] it blows my mind the way that you were in that scenario.

[00:17:32] And we've got an episode about Kirk Leigham

[00:17:34] that's going to be coming out.

[00:17:35] Next week.

[00:17:36] Next week.

[00:17:39] And that's going to...

[00:17:40] I've pieced together parts of the puzzle

[00:17:42] as to why Liam felt the way he did.

[00:17:45] And he's not the only one who did.

[00:17:47] And yeah, you'll have to listen to the episode

[00:17:48] to understand what I mean there, people.

[00:17:50] So...

[00:17:50] Yeah, intriguing.

[00:17:51] Intriguing.

[00:17:52] But yeah, I thoroughly enjoyed that, mate.

[00:17:53] Our first proper paranormal investigation.

[00:17:56] Even though it didn't last that long,

[00:17:57] the live stream went a little tits up

[00:17:59] because of the signal in the area.

[00:18:01] It was still good because we caught some bits.

[00:18:06] I don't know if you've seen, Liam,

[00:18:08] but this is the only giveaway I'm going to explain

[00:18:11] from the video, guys.

[00:18:12] If you haven't watched it already,

[00:18:13] make sure you go and watch it.

[00:18:14] Well, do you see where I stopped the video?

[00:18:17] There's like three occasions

[00:18:18] and there's the orb that goes past.

[00:18:19] So there's lots of dust and insects,

[00:18:21] which you can quite clearly tell apart,

[00:18:23] but there's one specific moment.

[00:18:25] The only one throughout the entire investigation.

[00:18:27] And there's like a very strange shaped orb

[00:18:29] that floats across.

[00:18:31] I'm not one for orbs.

[00:18:32] Almost looks like a bat.

[00:18:33] Yes, it does.

[00:18:34] Yes, it's really intriguing

[00:18:36] because it comes right,

[00:18:37] manifests right in front of me

[00:18:38] and then flies up and off

[00:18:40] and it disappears.

[00:18:41] It doesn't stay on the cam.

[00:18:44] It definitely wasn't a bat though.

[00:18:46] Oh, no, no, no, no.

[00:18:47] No, no, no, no.

[00:18:48] Mainly because it was white.

[00:18:49] Yeah, it's quite clear

[00:18:50] that it's still translucent.

[00:18:53] Yeah.

[00:18:54] Like I said,

[00:18:55] I mean, the only white bats

[00:18:56] aren't enough for our face Ventura.

[00:18:58] So, you know,

[00:18:58] shakaka.

[00:19:01] Fair point.

[00:19:02] But yeah,

[00:19:02] some of my favourite moments,

[00:19:04] like I say,

[00:19:04] obviously definitely,

[00:19:05] like I say,

[00:19:05] Kirk Leatham's up there.

[00:19:07] Yeah.

[00:19:07] Obviously,

[00:19:08] zombie apocalypse is up there.

[00:19:09] Yeah.

[00:19:12] But what,

[00:19:13] I've really enjoyed

[00:19:15] my little thing

[00:19:16] that obviously

[00:19:16] I've been doing

[00:19:17] in the most haunted places

[00:19:19] in

[00:19:21] town or wherever.

[00:19:22] I've enjoyed doing them

[00:19:23] and weirdly,

[00:19:24] I think one of my favourite ones

[00:19:26] was actually,

[00:19:27] well,

[00:19:27] the last one that we've done

[00:19:28] that you technically did.

[00:19:30] You hosted it,

[00:19:32] the Newcastle one.

[00:19:33] Oh yes.

[00:19:34] Yeah,

[00:19:34] yeah,

[00:19:34] I really enjoyed that one.

[00:19:36] Because that,

[00:19:37] again,

[00:19:37] that was a laugh

[00:19:38] at the same time though,

[00:19:38] wasn't it?

[00:19:39] Because there were some

[00:19:39] cool stories.

[00:19:40] That was why I liked it

[00:19:41] because,

[00:19:42] because there were

[00:19:43] some good stories too

[00:19:44] but we just had

[00:19:45] a fucking hell of a laugh

[00:19:46] as well and I mean,

[00:19:48] I don't think anything

[00:19:49] has made me laugh

[00:19:50] as much as you

[00:19:51] trying to say

[00:19:51] the word Keyside.

[00:19:55] Don't remind me of that.

[00:19:57] Let me find it

[00:19:59] and we'll just do it.

[00:20:00] Let me have a quick look

[00:20:01] on here.

[00:20:01] It's got to tell you,

[00:20:02] it tells you here, mate.

[00:20:03] Go on then.

[00:20:03] I just want to see

[00:20:04] if I can get a picture up

[00:20:05] just for my eyes.

[00:20:06] Yeah.

[00:20:07] So the long stairs

[00:20:08] running down

[00:20:09] to the queer side

[00:20:10] from the city centre.

[00:20:13] What?

[00:20:18] It's the fucking Keyside.

[00:20:20] Keyside.

[00:20:23] I just love

[00:20:24] the fear in your voice

[00:20:26] of what did I do?

[00:20:28] It's a little story,

[00:20:29] isn't it?

[00:20:30] What?

[00:20:32] Yeah,

[00:20:33] I forgot about that one.

[00:20:34] That was fantastic.

[00:20:35] That was.

[00:20:36] We've had a few of them.

[00:20:39] Oh,

[00:20:39] it's brilliant.

[00:20:41] We should say

[00:20:41] that we are both dyslexic.

[00:20:43] Yeah.

[00:20:44] Heavenly.

[00:20:46] Exactly.

[00:20:46] Which,

[00:20:46] which,

[00:20:47] if anyone who's read

[00:20:48] any of our posts

[00:20:49] on Instagram

[00:20:49] will know.

[00:20:51] Oh,

[00:20:51] yes.

[00:20:52] And it's just

[00:20:52] random words in there

[00:20:53] or random words

[00:20:54] missing completely,

[00:20:55] you know.

[00:20:56] Yeah,

[00:20:56] yeah.

[00:20:57] Phone doesn't do it

[00:20:57] all for us.

[00:20:58] Exactly.

[00:21:02] What else

[00:21:03] should we touch on?

[00:21:04] Funny moments.

[00:21:06] Funny moments.

[00:21:07] Yeah,

[00:21:07] we've had a few.

[00:21:08] Like I said,

[00:21:09] I think that was mine.

[00:21:10] Like I say,

[00:21:11] I mean.

[00:21:11] Well,

[00:21:12] one of my main ones

[00:21:12] was when the fucking

[00:21:14] mic dropped on my

[00:21:16] parts.

[00:21:16] Oh,

[00:21:17] that was the football one.

[00:21:18] No,

[00:21:18] that doesn't count.

[00:21:18] That was in the football podcast.

[00:21:19] Oh,

[00:21:19] was that in the football one?

[00:21:21] It was.

[00:21:21] Ah,

[00:21:22] right.

[00:21:22] Well,

[00:21:23] that was horrific.

[00:21:23] That was horrible.

[00:21:24] That was still funny.

[00:21:25] So basically,

[00:21:26] just a quick story there.

[00:21:28] We were recording

[00:21:29] our old football podcast

[00:21:30] and Billy was mid-sentence

[00:21:31] and the microphone

[00:21:33] that we had

[00:21:33] at the time,

[00:21:35] well,

[00:21:35] the arm just

[00:21:36] give way

[00:21:37] and the microphone

[00:21:38] clocked Billy

[00:21:39] straight in the

[00:21:39] gentleman's area.

[00:21:42] It was painful as well.

[00:21:43] It's a big,

[00:21:44] long,

[00:21:44] heavy stand.

[00:21:46] Well,

[00:21:47] yeah,

[00:21:47] that was,

[00:21:48] that's got to be up there.

[00:21:49] But my,

[00:21:50] my overall funniest

[00:21:52] moment is definitely

[00:21:54] where

[00:21:55] trying to tell you,

[00:21:56] again,

[00:21:56] it's going to leave me,

[00:21:57] but it's what I'm trying

[00:21:58] to tell you to relax.

[00:21:59] He's just like,

[00:21:59] relax my ass.

[00:22:04] Oh,

[00:22:04] fucking,

[00:22:05] I enjoyed that.

[00:22:05] That was great.

[00:22:07] No,

[00:22:08] I'm gone.

[00:22:09] No,

[00:22:09] we're gone.

[00:22:12] We'll talk,

[00:22:12] we'll talk about that

[00:22:13] properly next.

[00:22:14] Aye,

[00:22:15] yes.

[00:22:16] Right then,

[00:22:17] Matt,

[00:22:17] so shall we finish

[00:22:18] on some news?

[00:22:20] We all love a bit of news.

[00:22:22] Exactly.

[00:22:23] So basically,

[00:22:24] guys,

[00:22:24] so from,

[00:22:26] well,

[00:22:26] I'm not sure,

[00:22:27] not sure when yet

[00:22:28] because we might actually

[00:22:29] have

[00:22:31] another one or two

[00:22:33] in December

[00:22:34] maybe that we might

[00:22:35] have to put out.

[00:22:36] So yeah,

[00:22:36] so definitely

[00:22:37] the last week of December

[00:22:39] there will be no

[00:22:39] episode.

[00:22:40] We are going to have

[00:22:40] a little bit of a break

[00:22:42] from the podcast

[00:22:43] just because,

[00:22:44] well,

[00:22:45] we've had,

[00:22:45] like you say,

[00:22:46] we've had a fucking

[00:22:46] hectic year.

[00:22:48] Yeah.

[00:22:49] A very,

[00:22:49] very busy,

[00:22:50] hectic year.

[00:22:51] And like,

[00:22:51] I mean,

[00:22:51] everyone,

[00:22:52] you know,

[00:22:52] needs some time off.

[00:22:54] Yeah.

[00:22:55] Yeah.

[00:22:55] And I mean,

[00:22:56] I don't actually get

[00:22:57] time off from work

[00:22:58] over Christmas,

[00:22:58] the exact opposite.

[00:23:00] So,

[00:23:00] and after,

[00:23:01] after doing it last year,

[00:23:02] I think that was,

[00:23:09] yeah.

[00:23:11] We are going to take a break

[00:23:13] at the end of the year.

[00:23:14] Yeah.

[00:23:14] Just give,

[00:23:15] gives us a bit of time

[00:23:16] with the family and stuff

[00:23:17] and catch up.

[00:23:19] And it's not like

[00:23:20] when we say

[00:23:20] we're taking time off,

[00:23:22] we're working on plants,

[00:23:23] which Liam's got to get into.

[00:23:25] But yeah,

[00:23:26] there's got to be a lot,

[00:23:27] a lot that we need to do

[00:23:29] in this time.

[00:23:29] And there's just no way

[00:23:31] that we can get it all done

[00:23:33] whilst having Christmas around.

[00:23:35] Exactly.

[00:23:35] I mean,

[00:23:36] the break could only end up

[00:23:37] being a week.

[00:23:38] At the most,

[00:23:38] it will be two.

[00:23:39] Yeah.

[00:23:41] Exactly.

[00:23:42] Like I say,

[00:23:43] it's not going to be long.

[00:23:44] It's just,

[00:23:44] it's just to give ourselves

[00:23:45] a bit of time

[00:23:46] to get ready

[00:23:47] for the new year

[00:23:49] and the new name.

[00:23:51] Correct.

[00:23:52] So,

[00:23:53] come January of 2025,

[00:23:57] let's talk about

[00:23:58] Shall Be No More.

[00:23:59] Correct.

[00:24:00] Correct.

[00:24:02] Which,

[00:24:02] which is a shame

[00:24:04] because I do like the name.

[00:24:06] Yeah,

[00:24:06] I like the name as well.

[00:24:08] We spent a long time

[00:24:09] trying to figure out

[00:24:10] what name we should do

[00:24:11] and it was very simple

[00:24:12] in the end,

[00:24:13] but we wanted,

[00:24:16] we wanted something

[00:24:17] with a bit more

[00:24:17] of a punchline

[00:24:19] and something that

[00:24:20] fit our podcast

[00:24:21] a little more

[00:24:22] because originally

[00:24:23] me and Liam

[00:24:23] had intentions of

[00:24:25] doing the podcast

[00:24:26] about anything,

[00:24:28] anything.

[00:24:28] and absolutely everything

[00:24:29] but we've,

[00:24:30] we've found something here

[00:24:32] and we've just stuck

[00:24:34] with it.

[00:24:34] Not intentionally,

[00:24:36] it's just happened

[00:24:37] and we're both

[00:24:38] very much into

[00:24:39] true crime

[00:24:40] and horror related

[00:24:42] things

[00:24:43] and paranormal

[00:24:43] and extraterrestrial

[00:24:45] things

[00:24:45] and stuff like that

[00:24:47] so we thought

[00:24:47] let's make it make sense.

[00:24:50] Yeah,

[00:24:51] well I mean

[00:24:51] it's sort of intentional.

[00:24:53] I mean like you say

[00:24:53] obviously the whole

[00:24:54] the whole idea was

[00:24:55] was how you know

[00:24:56] no topic is off limits

[00:24:58] and all that

[00:24:59] and you know

[00:25:00] we can talk about

[00:25:00] whatever the hell

[00:25:01] we want

[00:25:01] but then I think

[00:25:02] we very quickly

[00:25:03] learned that

[00:25:05] you're never going to

[00:25:06] really get

[00:25:07] much of

[00:25:09] unless you're someone

[00:25:10] who's already well known

[00:25:12] you're not going to get

[00:25:12] much of a following

[00:25:13] by doing

[00:25:14] a podcast about something

[00:25:15] completely different

[00:25:16] one week to the next

[00:25:17] if you know what I'm saying.

[00:25:19] Yeah.

[00:25:20] I think we very quickly

[00:25:21] realised that

[00:25:22] and then like I say

[00:25:23] with the name

[00:25:23] let's talk about

[00:25:24] it doesn't exactly

[00:25:25] explain what we do

[00:25:26] Yeah.

[00:25:27] Sadly

[00:25:28] and

[00:25:30] because obviously

[00:25:30] any long time

[00:25:32] listeners will know

[00:25:33] obviously our

[00:25:33] third episode

[00:25:35] obviously you did

[00:25:36] all about

[00:25:37] Greek history

[00:25:38] and stuff

[00:25:38] Greek mythology

[00:25:40] which like I say

[00:25:42] doesn't really tie

[00:25:43] into what we do

[00:25:44] It's like the odd one out

[00:25:45] don't get me wrong

[00:25:46] I think it did quite well

[00:25:47] the episode itself

[00:25:48] but it just

[00:25:50] it didn't tie in

[00:25:52] I mean

[00:25:53] if we'd have gone

[00:25:54] down that route

[00:25:55] then yes I guess

[00:25:56] it would have

[00:25:56] but the problem is

[00:25:57] with that

[00:25:57] is

[00:25:58] don't get me wrong

[00:25:59] me and Liam

[00:25:59] this is absolute passion

[00:26:00] and

[00:26:01] 100%

[00:26:02] like paranormal

[00:26:03] true crime

[00:26:04] me and Liam

[00:26:05] have loved this

[00:26:06] throughout

[00:26:06] regardless

[00:26:07] so we're not just

[00:26:08] focusing on this

[00:26:09] because that's where

[00:26:09] the following is

[00:26:10] but obviously

[00:26:12] everybody wants to do

[00:26:13] this as a job

[00:26:14] and me and Liam

[00:26:15] that's the dream

[00:26:16] you know

[00:26:16] it's everyone's dream

[00:26:17] of course it is

[00:26:17] so it's one of them

[00:26:18] and we believe

[00:26:21] we're quite good at it

[00:26:22] however biased that may sound

[00:26:24] but it's something

[00:26:26] we want to focus on

[00:26:27] so going forward

[00:26:28] it just makes sense

[00:26:29] it's the smart decision

[00:26:31] yeah exactly

[00:26:32] exactly

[00:26:32] so we're waffling a bit now

[00:26:34] so we will reveal the name

[00:26:36] so obviously

[00:26:37] again a long time

[00:26:38] listeners will know

[00:26:39] that obviously

[00:26:39] we started off recording

[00:26:40] on

[00:26:41] daft little coffee tables

[00:26:43] that was an absolute nightmare

[00:26:45] I was in my old spare bedroom

[00:26:46] which was then

[00:26:47] the storage unit

[00:26:48] and since then

[00:26:49] we are in the process

[00:26:50] of building a shed

[00:26:51] in my garden

[00:26:52] which is going to be

[00:26:52] our little recording studio

[00:26:54] so as of January

[00:26:55] next year

[00:26:56] let's talk about

[00:26:57] will become

[00:26:57] the spooky shed podcast

[00:27:00] there we go

[00:27:01] just let that

[00:27:01] just let that sink

[00:27:05] he should have done

[00:27:06] a voice change on it

[00:27:07] shouldn't he

[00:27:07] oh yes he should have

[00:27:11] but

[00:27:12] yeah so

[00:27:13] that's

[00:27:14] that's going to be

[00:27:15] the new name

[00:27:17] again

[00:27:17] it is what it is

[00:27:18] it makes sense

[00:27:19] you know what you're

[00:27:19] getting into

[00:27:20] is spooky shed

[00:27:21] podcast

[00:27:21] oh my god

[00:27:22] I can't speak

[00:27:23] the spooky shed podcast

[00:27:26] like you say

[00:27:27] but again

[00:27:28] there's one of the reasons

[00:27:29] straight away

[00:27:30] someone googles

[00:27:31] spooky podcast

[00:27:32] yes don't get me wrong

[00:27:33] they'll probably have to

[00:27:34] go through a fair few

[00:27:34] before they get to ours

[00:27:35] but at least ours

[00:27:36] will be in there somewhere

[00:27:37] yeah

[00:27:38] yeah and it tells you

[00:27:39] what we do

[00:27:39] yeah that's the main

[00:27:41] purpose for it really

[00:27:42] yeah

[00:27:43] yeah

[00:27:44] to make us more accessible

[00:27:45] yeah like I say

[00:27:46] our friend Sean and Shannon

[00:27:47] over at Sinful Cuts

[00:27:48] they've recently just

[00:27:49] changed theirs

[00:27:50] because they had an

[00:27:51] absolute nightmare

[00:27:51] for people trying to

[00:27:52] search for them

[00:27:53] like I said

[00:27:54] so they've rebranded

[00:27:55] as well

[00:27:55] yeah

[00:27:56] we're not working

[00:27:57] so I mean

[00:27:59] purely by coincidence

[00:28:00] by the way

[00:28:01] yes

[00:28:02] actually speaking to

[00:28:03] Shannon

[00:28:03] and I told her

[00:28:04] I was like

[00:28:04] oh do you want to

[00:28:05] know a secret

[00:28:05] and then obviously

[00:28:06] I told her

[00:28:06] and she was like

[00:28:07] oh my god

[00:28:07] so we're doing

[00:28:08] the same thing

[00:28:08] and I was like

[00:28:10] well there we go

[00:28:10] yeah

[00:28:11] yeah

[00:28:12] but yeah

[00:28:13] I think we're starting

[00:28:14] to waffle now

[00:28:14] so I think we'll

[00:28:15] leave this one there

[00:28:17] yes absolutely

[00:28:17] one last thing

[00:28:18] I want to throw in

[00:28:19] guys is just

[00:28:19] we're going to have

[00:28:20] obviously a YouTube

[00:28:21] for the spooky shed

[00:28:22] podcast

[00:28:23] in which case

[00:28:24] keep your eye out

[00:28:24] for us all

[00:28:25] because me and Liam

[00:28:25] will be doing like

[00:28:26] Q&A's and stuff

[00:28:26] so you get a little bit

[00:28:27] more of a face-to-face

[00:28:28] interaction

[00:28:28] over on there

[00:28:29] but yeah

[00:28:29] that's it from me

[00:28:31] happy days

[00:28:32] happy days

[00:28:33] so again

[00:28:34] if there is anyone

[00:28:36] out there

[00:28:36] who's listened to

[00:28:37] every single episode

[00:28:40] let us know

[00:28:42] definitely let us know

[00:28:42] I was going to say

[00:28:43] prove it

[00:28:44] and we'll send you

[00:28:44] a t-shirt

[00:28:44] but it's very easy

[00:28:45] to not prove it

[00:28:46] so yeah

[00:28:48] just be nice

[00:28:49] and tell us

[00:28:50] yeah

[00:28:50] and thank you

[00:28:51] if you have

[00:28:52] exactly

[00:28:53] massive thank you
