Every other week there's something going wrong. And I d I don't I assume it's the uh it's the fact that I turn forty next year. And I'm at the point of my life now where the body is you can feel it dying. You're always dying, aren't you? The body's always dying. But now once you get to a certain age you're like, Oh no, no I really am. Like a like what have I got? Thirty? Thirty years?
Joe Thomas 0:50
Mm. I d I feel at the moment like I can see the beginning and the end. Like when you're in the English Channel, and it is the English Channel. And you can see English. Yeah. Fucking Um and you can see and you can see England and France, and it's a bit weird. You can see Dover and Calais. Yeah. I feel like that's my life at the moment. C I was born in Dover and I'm going to Calais to die. I'm on a boat. Yeah. And I'm halfway along.
James Buckley 1:22
That is what it's like. It's weird, isn't it? And I I feel the same about it. You left lovely Dover. Lovely, beautiful Dover. And France is waiting for you. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of there is we were talking about how much we've got. We we were talking about how much we loved France last time. I love France, yeah. There is a lot of dog shit there though.
Joe Thomas 1:39
Yeah. Is it's there? In Paris.
James Buckley 1:41
Yeah. I think of yeah d mm yeah I went to Paris I was in my early twenties, so about twenty years ago I went when I went to Paris. I'm sure they've cleaned it up now. But I went there and I just I was just like There is a lot of dog shit. There's a lot of dog shit. And I and to be honest But
Joe Thomas 2:01
do they not have those bags to to to pick it up in and
James Buckley 2:04
I don't know. I mean you um If I could put a positive spin 'cause you know we're like killing the planet and we're doing everything wrong and we're all a bunch of arseholes, selfish pricks that are killing the dolphins or whatever. You don't see dog shit much these days. There
Joe Thomas 2:21
are some things that we've
Unknown 2:23
You don't see dog shit much.
Joe Thomas 2:26
We've sorted out the dog shit thing.
James Buckley 2:27
Yeah.
Joe Thomas 2:29
Uh and
James Buckley 2:29
I think I think those little battles sometimes you need to uh give yourself a little pat on the back. Yeah. All of us collectively. Go, yeah, all right, maybe we are still burning too much fossil fuels or whatever or like but I'm not really in charge of that to be honest with you. I don't really have much say in what goes on. But you know, the dog shit situation, we've really fucking mastered
Joe Thomas 2:52
it. Well, I I think, yeah, uh I I hate littering, right? That's like in terms of it's if you litter, you're a cunt. Right. I don't care what you say. I it's so selfish. If I it's like it's a tiny thing. And but but I think that most people wouldn't litter, right? Most people don't actively want to destroy their environment. So if you could like tap into that instinct, Almost everybody's everywhere. If it could be
James Buckley 3:15
there's no excuse for littering. And
Joe Thomas 3:17
I'm you're quite right, it's because the other things they seem like they're so huge, they're out of your control. Like and and it does seem a bit much to feel like you're being kind of personally shamed for them because all you've done is be born at a certain time in history and joined in doing what everyone else is doing. That doesn't really make you a bad person.
James Buckley 3:32
I just I do, I need a car. I do need it.
Joe Thomas 3:36
Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. And also like Most most people's morality comes from like
James Buckley 3:44
and the fact that my car runs on ground up dolphin is We've got too many dolphins anyway, they're annoying. What are you smiling about? Shy
Joe Thomas 3:56
yeah, I know. Why that smile off your face? Also,
James Buckley 3:58
they're evil dolphins. They do evil. They do do some weird stuff, don't they? They do. I was watching a thing the other day of um Mm.
