228.522 - 229.264 Sam Thompson

Reading...

0

230.307 - 230.948 Pete Wicks

Genuinely.

0

231.529 - 245.128 Sam Thompson

In all seriousness. Reading, I'd probably wear something baggy. Something baggy on the bottom. I feel like you'd wear this. Something quite similar. I'll be honest with you. I feel like this is... I actually would.

0

245.188 - 246.27 Pete Wicks

Mickey Mouse t-shirt.

0

246.671 - 258.388 Sam Thompson

Like something... Pair of baggy combats. Yeah, absolutely. Comfy shoes. Maybe a beanie or something like that. A beanie? Definitely, yeah. Maybe a beanie. A beanie? Yeah. Is Reading Festival in winter?

258.628 - 258.728

Yeah.

258.927 - 261.03 Sam Thompson

I've actually... Wait, I'll show you a festival outfit.

261.071 - 265.337 Pete Wicks

It's in August. So in August at Reading Festival, you're wearing a beanie.

265.598 - 270.626 Sam Thompson

I'll show you. I'll show you my... This is my festival, last festival I went to outfit.

Chapter 3: How do Sam and Pete plan a stag do?

380.128 - 381.511 Pete Wicks

And I don't think you can go wrong with that.

0

381.652 - 384.698 Sam Thompson

I'd have a face mask. I'd have like a ski mask or something like that.

0

384.959 - 392.094 Pete Wicks

A ski mask? We're going to different festivals, I'm going to be honest with you. Yeah, I don't feel like we're at the same festival here.

0

392.235 - 395.702 Sam Thompson

Yeah, but the thing about festivals, you get quite gritty sometimes.

0

395.682 - 412.425 Pete Wicks

but yeah that's why just rough and ready yeah I'd go very rough and very ready yeah yeah you don't want to get pink beanie but it's different yeah no rough and ready it's different for women listen I think you can't go wrong with a bit of denim oh nice denim flannel comfy shoes

414.059 - 423.892 Sam Thompson

Yeah, you've got to be comfy. I told you, I once woke up with someone pissing on my head. Like, you've got to, in a tent, you've got to be careful when you go on a festival. Like, are you a camping guy? Are you in a tent?

425.615 - 433.806 Pete Wicks

I would be in a tent on my own. And yeah, I mean, I've said it before. If anyone pisses on my head, I'll do time.

435.001 - 435.842 Sam Thompson

You wouldn't be able to find it.

436.303 - 460.317 Pete Wicks

Oh, motherfuckers fucked. But yeah, listen, I'd go cowboy themed for a festival. I think you can get away with it there. You know, it would be weird if I just, you know, wandered into SR on a Wednesday in a cowboy hat. But I would love to. Every week I consider it. Don't let us hold you back, mate. I just feel like I wouldn't, you know, it would all look at you in cowboy. Yes, I do.

Chapter 4: What hypothetical scenarios do the hosts discuss?

594.346 - 596.128 Pete Wicks

Quite funny to see Pete, like, windmilling people.

0

596.429 - 597.71 Sam Thompson

No! No!

0

597.81 - 599.833 Pete Wicks

We hold him down. Come at me, bro.

0

600.353 - 604.078 Sam Thompson

And then Pete's getting beer poured down my arse crack into his mouth.

0

604.098 - 612.107 Pete Wicks

If I had a stag doing that was the case, it would be Sam that is in the ghillie suit doing it. I'd go, tagged in, mate.

612.087 - 634.189 Sam Thompson

Mate, we turned up to that festival, right? And as it was just post COVID, as we're walking in, it's like pretty gritty already. As we're walking in, there's a positive COVID test on the floor at the entrance to this fucking thing. And like all of us looked at each other and went... this is a bit buff out. Like, that's going to be a super spreading area.

634.249 - 645.783 Sam Thompson

Are you turning around at that point when you see that on the floor and you're like, oh God, this is, we're going to. A COVID test? If it was a positive COVID test sat on the floor. So someone in this camp has got fucking COVID.

645.884 - 658.8 Pete Wicks

At this point, I think there's probably worse you're going to catch at a festival than COVID. Yeah, true. You know what I mean? Yeah. With the amount of, as I say, human waste and dirty people. It is. It's messy. It's messy.

658.78 - 677.987 Pete Wicks

so in answer to the question Lily I've gone with cowboy style Sam's gone with find a friend and pour beer down his arsehole depends where the festival is I hope that's but wear a pink beanie I hope that's answered the question for you would definitely want to be on someone's shoulders as well like love the idea of being on someone's shoulders the question is what would you wear

Chapter 5: What are the hosts' thoughts on attending the World Cup matches?

776.832 - 780.199 Pete Wicks

So I'm sure I'll be in the fucking bars watching it with them. And I'm quite happy to do that.

0

780.179 - 790.443 Sam Thompson

Do you know what's funny is that when Pete's away is when you're all going to be out fucking celebrating and getting fucked up and it's going to have to be me who corrals you all to come into the office.

0

791.546 - 799.58 Pete Wicks

Well, not just you because I'm sitting up a ring doorbell camera. Ha ha ha. in my corner of the office so that I can, it would be motion censored.

0

799.6 - 802.823 Sam Thompson

That's hilarious. We should do that. We should absolutely do a ring of the bell.

0

802.943 - 824.023 Pete Wicks

Just so we can keep an eye. As bosses, would you let the team come in a bit late next morning for everyone to stay up to watch it together? Absolutely not. No, none of us are playing. None of our family are playing. So do you know what I mean? Since none of us know anyone that's playing, it's just England playing football. None of us have any connection. No, get the fuck to work.

824.392 - 830.99 Pete Wicks

And also, we were staying up like 9pm. Well, we finished at 11. Yeah. Finishes at 11.

831.292 - 831.533

What's that?

832.323 - 837.49 Pete Wicks

You don't have to be at work till fucking nine. You can get your eight hours sleep, have a fucking shit shave and come into work. You'll be fine.

838.111 - 840.575 Sam Thompson

What if we all went together to the Pear Tree to watch it?

Chapter 6: Would the hosts give their team a day off if England wins?

1093.953 - 1099.805 Pete Wicks

You know someone that was a sign... Yeah. Right. Sorry. Did you just speak to a signpost?

0

1099.825 - 1124.265 Sam Thompson

No, he did mushrooms. Yeah, he did mushrooms. And he... Legally, by the way, legally in Thailand. And he... So there's a mountain called Mushroom Mountain. And you basically go, I've never heard about this in Thailand. Are you on mushrooms currently? No. They do a mushroom milkshake, right? And they give it to you. It's at this place called Mushroom Mountain.

0

1124.866 - 1149.019 Sam Thompson

And he had this experience where he went, I had a wife, kids, and like lived an entire life, right? And he came back and then he took another fucking sip or whatever and was a signpost. And he said he lived decades being a signpost. No joke. Is this fella still alive? He's still kicking about. Yeah, he's got a really good job. I'm not even joking.

0

1149.039 - 1152.847 Sam Thompson

He said he was a signpost for years and years and years. He was, he went, it was the weirdest thing.

0

1152.867 - 1171.709 Pete Wicks

Sam, Sam, Sam, you're saying, I'm not even joking. We understand the story, but you're saying it like he was a signpost. But he felt like he was a signpost. Yeah, But we understand. I'm not joking. He generally had a trip out. And he was a signpost for years. For years. But he wasn't a signpost.

1171.729 - 1179.677 Sam Thompson

But he thought he was. How mad is that? You're such a signpost. No, do you know what? You're a rock. You're a rock.

1179.918 - 1199.28 Pete Wicks

I would happily be a pebble on a beach. Undiscovered. Just gently brushed by the waves occasionally. Some little **** tries to skin me. Just living peacefully amongst my stony little friends. That would be good.

1199.421 - 1214.138 Sam Thompson

Why can I see that for him? Just, there I am. Forever. and then something happens, and then you're picked up, and you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what the fuck? Put me down! And then you can't do anything about it, so you're just a livid stone. Yeah.

1214.979 - 1224.83 Pete Wicks

I think I would literally be a stone on a pebble beach. And then they throw you into the sea. Or you could, you know, what else would I want to be? A stone's fucking good for Pete. Straw, constantly being sucked.

Chapter 7: What funny stories do the hosts share about festivals?

1261.96 - 1263.442 Pete Wicks

I don't know if you can class it.

0

1263.462 - 1264.203 Sam Thompson

No, I think you could.

0

1264.223 - 1286.373 Pete Wicks

It's technically living, isn't it? I'd give you a tree. Like an oak tree in a forest. Yeah, nice. Just in the middle of a forest. But I don't know if we can class that. So if we can't class that, then I'm a stone because that is just a stone. But trees are living. But a tree. Imagine just the age, like years, what you see, the changing surrounding. To be honest with you, I'd be turned into a flat.

0

1286.674 - 1304.937 Pete Wicks

Do you know what I mean? I'd be chopped down and... You know what I mean? But, but ideally in the black forest in Germany, a tree. Oh, I like that. Right in the centre, untouched. Yeah. Just living my life. Yeah. Growing, you know, going through the seasons, you know, I'd be a tree.

0

1305.178 - 1320.003 Sam Thompson

Yeah. Or maybe a bucket. Yeah, but. Maybe in a bucket. You know, people put things in you. I don't want people to put things in there. You're carried around. I don't want to be carried around. I just want to be left alone.

1320.064 - 1324.924 Pete Wicks

So there you go. Stone, tree or a shoelace.

1325.933 - 1330.78 Sam Thompson

I think that's a fucking good question. Whoever has sent that in, please follow up. That's a fucking good question.

1330.8 - 1335.486 Pete Wicks

Tell us what you'd be and email don'tbother at srproductions.co.uk.

1336.227 - 1341.655 Sam Thompson

You're just mad though. Do you know what I bet they've got that from is when I called you a brick. I bet you anything that's where they've got that from.

Chapter 8: What would the hosts do if no one would ever find out?

1508.048 - 1525.058 Sam Thompson

No, no, no, no, no, no. Trust me. I would go to Iraq, right? And I don't look panicked. And I would try and find Gilgamesh's tomb. That's what I would do. Find Gilgamesh's tomb.

0

1527.943 - 1531.609 Pete Wicks

Quite deep answers for both of us there. The other thing I'd do is steal a car.

0

1532.669 - 1537.743 Sam Thompson

Oh, yeah, you could do that, couldn't you? Dream car. Go to the pyramids and sneak into the pyramids.

0

1537.763 - 1544.982 Pete Wicks

I think we've overthought this. I think they were hoping for something more whimsical. Oh, right, okay, yeah. Both of us have done that there, so I'd steal my dream car.

0

1545.423 - 1546.847 Sam Thompson

Yeah, what would that be?

1547.198 - 1559.452 Pete Wicks

My dream car, it would be a 1988 Carrera 911 Singer Porsche, black with tan interior and gold 21-inch alloys.

1559.672 - 1562.355 Sam Thompson

That's nice. That's nice. That's nice.

1562.375 - 1563.016 Pete Wicks

Very specific.

1563.476 - 1563.917 Sam Thompson

Sorry.
