What adventures did Joe and David have on their recent trips?
Hello, this is Joe. Welcome to the Monday Vault. In this episode, James, our editor, is just putting one of our old eps out randomly. Don't know if it's going to be any good or shit, but that's the chances you take. Some of them from the past are a bit... Anyway, cheers! Cheers!
Hello?
Hi. Hi. Hi. Can you hear me all right?
Yeah. All good to go.
What?
How are you? What? All good to go.
Okay. All good to go too?
You grumpy.
I'm tired.
Yeah, I can always tell. You always sort of frown. If anyone ever does anything out of the ordinary, you go, what?
I hate that I'm so obvious.
Oh, fuck, I can't hear you now.
Oh, bollocks.
Hang on.
Sounds weird. It's only coming out one of my earphones. Fucking hell, I suppose. Oh, I'm all right now. Can you say something?
Testing.
Say something. testing oh yeah it's coming through my head first um how are you yeah all right how's your weekend good i went down um i went down the thames on a little boat did you yeah from thames ditton to sud sunbury or sudbury what are you doing up there
No, no, it's just like, have you got friends up there?
Yes. And he's got a little boat. And I had literally the time of my life. I genuinely don't think, like, activities-wise, I don't think... I can't think of anything I would enjoy more. I went down the Thames on a boat and looked at big houses and imagined if... This is incredible.
Let's just check this out.
Do you play the game where you go, right, everyone can have one house that you spot today?
So weird you said this. So we went to Keith Floyd's old pub yesterday.
Oh, my God. He's not alive, is he? No. Back up to me. Back up to me.
But then we went for a walk just up from his pub.
fucking pretty around there.
What's the area?
Tuck and Hay.
Never heard of it.
And then I'll just send you this. We were just looking over the river. Oh my gosh.
What is the story behind the beach bomber?
What?
Nice, isn't it? Yeah, that's nice.
Just gorgeous little.
Wow. That's lovely.
And like the lanes are just through these just so cute little lanes to that.
How far from where you live? 10 mins? Oh, no way. I think he said an hour or something. I forget you're right in the heart of it. What river's that?
River Dart.
That's the River Dart.
So if you watch his old Floyd on, I can't remember what series it is, but you see he rows up that river in a rowing boat and then stops at that pub and gets off.
I used to love him. Yeah. He was, would he work now? Because he was quite dishevelled, wasn't he?
Wow, he was, you should read his autobiography, it's brilliant.
What were you about to say, he was what?
Well, he was an alcoholic, wasn't he? Yeah. Functioning.
Yeah.
I guess, although I don't know him, I don't, backtracking. So how was the Thames then?
It was amazing. Basically, you had this little boat, right? And we all sat on it and stuff. And then our friend whose boat it was, he said, oh, do you want to... Do you want to sit out the front? So it's a little boat and I sat on the front of it and my legs dangling over the front. At the time of my life, I just sat there going down the river looking at like big houses. Then I saw the photos of me sitting on the front and I thought, what a prat. I look like such a wally. Because it's a really small boat.
God, your internet's really shit. Do you want to take your video off?
Is that better?
Maybe.
Can you hear me now, right?
Yeah.
Oh, anyway. Yeah, I just saw the photos of me at the front of the boat and I'm like covering two thirds of the front of the boat because I'm so long. I just look utterly ridiculous. All day I thought I've just been sat there I was way too big to be unaware how long you look. Well, yeah. And just like people would have gone, you know, that's a bit weird. Why? Why? Because it's quite a small boat. And I was like, well, if I drew you a picture of the size of me on the boat, you'd have gone, okay, that's a bit weird.
Right. So what's your point there? It sort of ruined your afternoon.
Well, it ruined my memory of it.
Oh, right.
Because I was like, oh, this is fantastic. Because I just sat in the front of this boat and I watched the world go by. Sort of feeling. And then I was like, oh, God, I don't look like that.
