Introduction and Podcast Overview
00:00:04
Speaker
What's up everyone? You're back with Tuck Your Shirting, the podcast that uncovers the stories your principal definitely doesn't want you to hear. From hallway drama to teacher confessions and maybe ah word from the class hamster, we've got it all.
00:00:19
Speaker
This is Tuck Your Shirting with me, John Hassan, my brother Luke Hassan and a guy who will happily argue with a youth football team, Scott
Scott's Pitch Disputes
00:00:27
Speaker
Burrows. Let's get into it.
00:00:36
Speaker
It's a nice intro. Yeah, definitely. i mean I've enjoyed these little ah these little quips before going into me. So ah yeah, cheers, John. Yeah, they're getting a bit... We haven't told you this, Luke, but it was a a couple of weeks ago.
00:00:49
Speaker
Scott had a full-on argument with the manager of a youth football team. We were trying to play five-a-side because he he wanted us to have that specific pitch.
00:00:58
Speaker
Right. Brilliant. So where we play football at the minute, there are three pitches. and there's like a fence line that the kind of splits the pitches up, which is like some netting.
00:01:13
Speaker
And to it the the fence line is like broken, and there's no net between one ah between two of the pitches. so So we we like we they go every week and get there like really early. They only pay for like an hour slot, but they get there at like,
00:01:28
Speaker
10 past 7 they start playing um so i was like eight or nine oh that is early isn't it yeah really early really early yeah and like during the winter months there's usually um there's usually like some some other teams there to stop them from doing it but the minute this there's like barely anyone because like football seasons Not really happening right now, I suppose, for youth teams.
00:01:53
Speaker
And yeah, they just, like, what we turned up, we've played on this pitch for probably the the last four years-ish, I'd say. And they just, yeah, they but and like in my emails from like 2022 or something, I have an email that states that the end pitch is our pitch.
00:02:11
Speaker
ah So, yeah, I just had a bit of an argument with this guy. who was just like, yeah, no, that's not how this works. I was like, this is how it works. He's now ruined it for everyone. So no one can go near the pitches now until bang on eight o'clock. If you get there like 15 minutes early, they've got someone watching.
00:02:29
Speaker
and Well, really? Yeah, yeah. and but And the last week we went, there's only us there. So I don't even know if the other teams have just been like kicked off or... Like, I was fine. it Like, the guy swore at me, and I was fine until he swore at me. And then, like, the red mist took over, and I sent ah ah sent an angry email, which I'm not proud of.
00:02:50
Speaker
um But John was encouraging me to be very petty about so it. Oh, my God. I blame John. um i blame John for for for doing it, really. and It's a amazing. is it the week after, they sent another email saying... um Oh, we've seen that some of your lot have been like standing on the grass outside the pitches like before eight o'clock and it was just, it's just got out of hand now. It's totally out of hand. We were just like, like, so i had an email from like the, the, the manager of like the, ah the facilities um at the site that we book with. And he was like, Oh yeah, you, you've been on the pit. You were on the pitch 20 minutes early.
00:03:34
Speaker
And I was like, but So we're not even allowed to get there until eight o'clock. Like, this is ridiculous. It seems to have calmed down in the last couple of weeks. ah Yeah, it's just just us there now. There's no one to argue Yeah, there's no one else there. There's not going to be a pitch there soon. they' go to we reign We reign supreme. so early We've won the battle. We're not going anywhere. They won't they won't take us alive.
Calm Cornwall Holiday
00:03:55
Speaker
It's like a brave heart. And that under-8s football team, they can find a new pitch to go to, can't they? Yeah, they can. They were not under-8s.
00:04:02
Speaker
They were like, under-15, under-16. And if it wasn't for the fact the manager swore at me, none of this would have happened. Yeah, it wasn't it wasn't great. but Not my proudest moment, but still pretty funny.
00:04:17
Speaker
Bloody hell, man. You've caused the company to collapse. I have, yeah. All these football teams. You know, crime's actually gone up in the area since. It was keeping kids off the streets, you know. It's for troubled youths that had bad upbringing and this football team was the only thing keeping them on the straight and
Family Dynamics Reflection
00:04:32
Speaker
narrow.
00:04:32
Speaker
they haven't even got any teachers to teach them because you two have left. um it's It's not our fault. Just to clarify, we don't play on the school pitches where we used to work. Just to clarify, that would be really strange. That would be weird. Clear that up. We'll just move on from that.
00:04:53
Speaker
So, what did everyone get up to this week? um like I've been away on holiday. Oh, nice. Been to Cornwall. It was absolutely molten.
00:05:04
Speaker
It really, really nice. but You know what? There wasn't much calamity, which I'm surprised about. I thought there'd be more calamity. Is that because usually when you go to Cornwall, it's just pure carnage because you go with a group of wild men who like to shit on fire? That's true. Yeah, yeah that that is true. They're the completely opposite.
00:05:26
Speaker
and we did ah but did i did forget the dog's lead when we drove somewhere. Started to run into like town and get a dog lead. ah But without the dog. It was me who's happy about that. way No, Muse was not happy about that.
00:05:40
Speaker
Yeah, it was just it was just really nice. But ah on the way home, had a sort of ah like, I don't know, out-of-body experience. I think that's close to what ah what it describes. We were on the way back at and we were at the services and ah me and Henry, a little boy, was just eating, took a chowing down on some watermelon, you know, being quite loud.
00:06:01
Speaker
And his family next to us were just was just sitting there and like, just talking about, ah you know trying to plan their trip. No joking, no nothing. Just like they were actually just talking about what they needed to discuss.
00:06:14
Speaker
And I was just like, oh, this is really interesting, isn't it? Like, these are normal people. Like, is this how normal people are? Like, there's no zingers, no nothing. they just discussing, like and Is that weird? like I just felt myself like a bit about what your body like, is this how a normal discussion goes? Like this is not how I talk, how we talk as a family anyway.
00:06:37
Speaker
Just really weird. Just like comparing myself to normal. I think especially when you're the strange that's just sat listening to some people have a conversation next to them. Yeah. yeah And I was chowing down on watermelon as well. Just staring at me. Where were they going? Did you get into the nitty gritty of where they're going? Yeah, I mean, they were really planning it out. They were going to... They're trying to look for a castle.
00:07:00
Speaker
They're heading to their accommodation and they were trying look at places to go along the way. um They were dead, theyre really serious, like really serious about it. Like, oh, we need to go here. Oh, we could go to a castle. um And then the dad was trying to push going to Bodmin jail.
00:07:16
Speaker
um And I could see what he's trying to do is going, oh, we could go to Bodmin jail. And the daughter was going, ah read the the one place I don't want to go. is Bodmin jail. And I can see him not bring it up for a little while. and that brings back some Brings back some tough memories. Yeah. There's a little castle down here. or there's a pub down where we could stop at.
00:07:34
Speaker
I think we should also stop at the pub. And then he'd got his wife onto this one. And she was like, yeah, think we should stop at the pub. And he well, we've still got that Bodmin jail we could go and see. mean, Just kept bringing it back up.
00:07:46
Speaker
His daughter. No, no, I don't want to go to the jail. and Not really vibing with the jail. give me Poor dad. like he just All he wants to do is just have a nice time going going around and looking at it jail cells, I presume. I have no idea. it looks really interesting, to be fair. It does look really fun.
00:08:05
Speaker
So you looked it up after, did you? I did look it up. It looks interesting. You can also pay to stay the night. Which you're literally paying to go to jail. Yeah. There is. Saying like it's old Victorian cell.
00:08:17
Speaker
So yeah, the it's literally a hotel, the Bodmin Jail Hotel. hotel yeah so it's housed in a meticulously restored 18th century prison it offers a unique blend of history luxury and experience there you go free sponsorship on the podcast oh yeah please sponsor us for all 12 viewers we can come and stop um we can come and stop for the night and do a live pod from the cell pod from the cells yeah that'd be great I know it's meticulously restored to like, that's basically like, you need to degrade it, don't you? Back to a Victorian prison.
00:08:51
Speaker
I think they do like nighttime walks and stuff. You know, like... Oh, yeah. Oh, like ghost ones. Oh, we could do... Let's do a pod from Bodmin Jail. There's one not too far from us. I think it's like Shrewsbury, something like that, that do the same. Any jails, get in touch.
00:09:05
Speaker
We'd love to do a pod from the jail. Active or, you know...
John's Comedy Updates
00:09:10
Speaker
Active or otherwise, yeah. We'll happily go in. Get some stories. yeah scott Scott can go in undercover. I'll volunteer him. say yeah yeah Yeah, he's got he's got the grey top on. He's ready.
00:09:22
Speaker
The grey jumper. It's actually a ah like like a like and and nice green colour. It's just the camera. Oh, they'll like you in there then. and You and your jazzy jumper. You look nice, Oh, God.
00:09:40
Speaker
I overheard a weird conversation ah when I was at garden center a few weeks ago. it was um This old woman was on the phone. to It must have been like an Amazon delivery driver or something. um And I'm guessing he couldn't find the house. ah Because she she said, oh, look at here. it was Obviously, it was her side of the conversation. But she said,
00:09:57
Speaker
Oh, no, that's not quite right. um You've got to drive a little bit up the road. And then on your on your left, she's like, you'll see, a is that there'll be a man standing outside. i was like, what? She said he might chase the car.
00:10:09
Speaker
um And then as he runs towards you, you carry on up the road, turn right. it was like nowhere near. but I was like, what did you say that? Like, there's just a man that chases cars, like in the middle of like.
00:10:22
Speaker
of So that was, yeah, that was strange. That's a weird conversation. yeah i hear That's the opposite of normal. You spoke to a crazy. I do like finding normals though.
00:10:36
Speaker
yeah ah think you find more crazies than normals, don't you? But it's always good to find a normal. i remind yeah It depends what you deem as normal, I suppose. I had ah had a horrible moment going into the office the other day where I was on the train and there were like these two...
00:10:53
Speaker
young-ish people. I'd say they were probably around about 18 and it was like half eight in the morning and they were like heavy making out on the train and i there were spit strings and everything and it was just it was far too much for me. Like ah got I actually got up and moved carriage because I was like I can't look at that in the morning. It was too much. Then I had to sit opposite them in a seat of four. That was a strange I did not do that.
00:11:24
Speaker
You did talk to us about this, didn't you, Scott? I was on one of the single scenes. You said you hadn't felt in a while. Again, no. ah Was it the pleats in the pants?
00:11:38
Speaker
Oh, God, it was horrible. It made me feel sick. like i don't want I don't like, you know... everyone everyone be who you want to be, but just no no spit strings at half eight at the time, please. No heavy petting. It was disgusting.
00:11:54
Speaker
It might be the definition of heavy. The girl literally, like, when they stopped kissing at one point, came back and just, like, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and I was like, oh, oh, God, no. it's hot that was That was the last straw for me.
00:12:10
Speaker
I was done after that. a horrible, horrible moment. Sounds nice. I can't believe You know, it's funny I saw you on the train that morning.
00:12:21
Speaker
I mean, it definitely wasn't you. John, how's comedy been this week? Yeah, all right. I think I've done a couple of gigs since we last spoke. I did one in Worcester, which was nice. was like an open mic.
00:12:35
Speaker

00:13:14
Speaker
Thursday, Cradley Heath, open mic, Holly Bush. What time? I don't think... Why don't you plug in your own gigs? Because it's like, it's it's more one for a like, like regulars and... um That's fine. People can become regulars. and People can come if they want to, obviously, because it's... So where are they going to see at the Hollybush in Cradley Heath on Thursday? It starts at like eight.
00:13:41
Speaker
Yeah. starts at eight. I'm saying definite now, but I haven't actually messaged the guy to confirm he's got any spots, but... what But they can still enjoy a night comedy.

00:15:06
Speaker
don't know. What is it? Hot water? Yeah, it's it like a new act night. So it'll probably, I think they've got like multiple rooms. I doubt it'll be in, it'll probably be in whatever but the smallest room is there. I imagine. I don't know.
00:15:18
Speaker
If anyone doesn't know, if you've seen clips online of Scousers being funny, it's probably at the Hot Water Comedy Club, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. it's quite I think they have got they've got like a big room for like big acts and stuff as well. So, um yeah.
00:15:32
Speaker
Nice. What time it on? I'm adding it to my calendar. literally adding it to my calendar. I don't know all the details, I'm afraid. of Probably seven-ish. Could be seven, could be eight. Who knows?
00:15:44
Speaker
Could be seven, could be eight. So what I'm hearing is everyone turn up at five, get a few drinks in. Yeah, that's true. Go and heckle John. and No, don't heckle John, that would be mean. But go and laugh along with John. We've got quite lot family in Liverpool. I think they came up this week. um Saw mum and dad.
00:16:02

00:16:12
Speaker
I'll tell you what, this pod's already bringing great results for... We've plugged your pods. We've got some family plans. It's going really well.
00:16:29
Speaker
Right. um Should we move on to some stories? Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. Okay. ah Now, what you bringing to the table, you two? Well, it's, yeah, it's going to, it's probably going to be a bit of a combination this week. I think John's going to lead this week and I'll chime in where and as of when I can.
00:16:47
Speaker
Yeah, I think, because I think last episode we said we'd talk about Kavos and i forgot about that until about 10 minutes before this.
Chaotic Kavos Holiday
00:16:53
Speaker
And I've just written down some bullet points of what I can remember. um So this was, we'd just finished A-levels, hadn't we?
00:17:03
Speaker
Yes. So we were all just like 18. Yeah. Um, and the flight times were terrible. It's the first thing I remember. So we got there at like, we arrived at like six in the morning or something like that. was really early. Yeah. Like the sun had just come up when we actually got the coach in, uh, to like, do remember coming down Kavosh strip?
00:17:29
Speaker
It was still all going on, sort of. Oh, no. like Yeah, like higher up higher up the yeah higher up the, like in the in the main area where the like the major clubs were, it was still like going off.
00:17:40
Speaker
But then the further further out you came towards the end of the strip, it just got like more like a zombie land. People just walking, like the just ah like no shoes on or like one shoe on. And it was just, oh, God, people just looked...
00:17:53
Speaker
like eating in their kebabs like everyone was just out of it completely great to see but um yeah we got there scott and i were sharing a room which was uh unfortunate for scott think um if you know if you know it's a bit of a theme that uh i tend to wind scott up quite a bit uh generally um
00:18:17
Speaker
trying to think what there was one thing i think i put an egg in his pillow at one point Wait, boiled, scrambled, cooked, raw? No, it's just a raw egg. Just a raw egg. but notice i think Before before he lay on it. Sorry, Scott, carry on. where Where did you actually get that egg from? Because it was just a singular egg. the work We didn't have any eggs in the room. There was no like cooking equipment or anything. John just randomly had this egg.
00:18:44
Speaker
I must have bought it. because I can't imagine you can travel with eggs, can you? No, well, I do not. Something to declare. Yes, eggs. ah Just singular. Singular eggs.
00:19:01
Speaker
but um I must have bought it. Yeah, Scott noticed before he sat. was hoping he'd sit on it and it'd be a funny... No, i'd no, no. if but I slept the night before on it. You slept on it just didn't crack. It didn't crack. So then...
00:19:14
Speaker
I think I put it in your suitcase, hoping that it would crack, and then you just threw it into mine, and it split all over my clothes. Oh, clean clothes? Yeah. Oh, brutal. I was like, do we unpack? And John was like, no, I reckon we just live out the suitcase. Oh, and no, bad idea. i i was like, okay. And then John threw an egg into my ear into our suitcase, which meant that we had to have...
00:19:39
Speaker
air con on all week so that nothing uh nothing kind of went really bad and started stinking like rotten eggs so yeah absolutely disgusting had to like i was quite yeah i was quite fortunate like he threw it in it went on one of my shirts and that shirt just got i think i just threw it away um but it had mainly all gone on that shirt, and then everything else was just like wiped off, because it was a bit of, it wasn't the yolk, it was the other bit.
00:20:07
Speaker
Albumen. So, the whatever it's called. The Albumen. The Albumen. Yeah. Let's say you don't learn things on this podcast. I know. It's like we're in school. School is in church.
00:20:20
Speaker
Albumen. Albumen. I think the egg started something that just didn't really flow with John there.
00:20:31
Speaker
joy Our bathroom didn't lock. I don't know if you want to expand on from this point. I think there was a lot of everyone was going in everyone's room while they were showering. There was... don't want to say his name.
00:20:45
Speaker
so so Someone had brought a thong. Vernon. Yeah, let's call him Vernon. dudley yeah vernon er Vernon Dudley. and the I remember at one point you wearing the thong also.
00:20:58
Speaker
ah what's this thong was someone was wearing a thong don't know a shared thong a male thong yeah a male thong someone would try and break wearing the thong and try jump in the shower with them just uh you'd keep the i would like to say you'd keep the shower curtain between you and the person that was in the shower it was like I think we went in shouting Party Boy every time we did it. That was it, yeah. Yeah, so was like Party Boy from Jackass.
00:21:30
Speaker
Someone would play the song. And then someone would play the song, and we'd just go in and just kind of, yeah, jump all over them whilst they were in the shower, and they wouldn't be able to do anything. So that was horrible. Sounds horrible.
00:21:42
Speaker
Yeah, it really does. It really does. And then we also had some shower antics where between room, where John... I can't remember what happened. So John, at this point, was quite a picky So he would only eat certain things. And one of the things he would eat was Cocoa Pops. um So the one day I was in the shower, John, every time I was in the shower, would come in and pour stuff oh over the top of the shower curtain, just onto me.
00:22:12
Speaker
So I had Cocoa Pops and milk.
00:22:16
Speaker
Like most days, practically. like The worst part was I'd turn the shower off. And Sean would be waiting and just pour milk over me. So I'd have to go back in the shower. I had toothpaste that was poured, just squirted, like full force, all over me. That starts to burn you know if you don't wash off. Obviously, it does. really You only know that it burns because of my run-in with sun cream, i think. and
00:22:49
Speaker
I think I've told everyone that sun cream that ah that toothpaste burns over a period of time. And then, the yeah, the other one was sun cream, where he just like literally put the sun cream, just squirted it all over me as I was coming out of the shower again. So I had to go in again.
00:23:07
Speaker
they just hot i like ah got to the point where I wanted to shower in other people's rooms. because it was just i like I just couldn't get clean, essentially. Every day, there was something different that happened.
00:23:20
Speaker
It was horrible. horribles The one thing I did do to him, there was an accident, and I stand by that this was an accident, was ah yeah yeah we were all meeting downstairs for like, I think we were meeting the reps or something. It was the first morning we were there. were meeting the reps to plan the week. Yeah.
00:23:43
Speaker
And I can't remember there might have been like 12 of us in total. And um there were only 11 of us down there. We were like, who's missing? ra And And was like, Scott.
00:23:55
Speaker
was like, oh. I thought he'd come down I looked in my pocket and I'd got the key in my pocket. I just locked him in the room and I didn't realize. at our rooms, you literally had to have the the key to get out both ways for some for whatever reason. I presume like a safety reason.
00:24:11
Speaker
um But yeah, John was just, yeah, just locked me in the room.
00:24:18
Speaker
I had a nice little sleep. You just sat on the bed, like just staring at a wall. come some bit We're at that age where like, if you had own you add your phone, but you had like, there was no wifi in the hotel. And no one had data at that point.
00:24:36
Speaker
So it was like, ah it nothing to do. the The TV didn't work. I was just like, just sit here. It's horrible. Absolutely horrible.
00:24:49
Speaker
and know what to do. one point, I contemplated, because we're on the second floor, a contemplated trying to climb down the balcony. But there was just like like ah a massive hedgerow like at the bottom. And I was like, well, I'm just going to end up in the hedge, aren't And then you need another shower. And then I need another shower. Slash trip to A&E for horrible scratches. ah thought It can't have been...
00:25:11
Speaker
suppose it would have been a little bit of time, but it can't have been like too long, I guess. Was it like half an hour or something? it's like No, it was like an hour and something, yeah, because you were down there. You went down like 20 minutes early to go and meet the reps.
00:25:26
Speaker
And then like you were just down there having a chat with them. And then you you all planned the week. And you were all like, oh yeah, we're going to see like, I think it was like Wretch 3-2 or something like that. know And I was like, I don't want to go and see Wretch 3-2. Like Wretch 3-2 sounds terrible. So and that was like 80 euros a ticket. And I didn't want to go and I didn't want to go see Wretch 3-2, but we ended up going to watch the worst gig I've ever been to in my life. We are Wretch Friend of the pod.
00:25:54
Speaker
um But yeah, it was one of those. ah But it was one of those it was one of those weeks that was just one of those moments where, yeah, I was just stuck in a room on my own, not knowing what to do. I kind of lost the lost my mind a little bit.
00:26:12
Speaker
I did have a nap at one. That was the room-based hijinks, I guess. um In terms of like the nights out, first night I remember... ah They all, you know, they love groups of lads, don't they, when you're in those sorts of places, getting you into the restaurants and stuff.
00:26:29
Speaker
um They gave us all like a free shot of this whiskey, but it was like clear whiskey. so I'm guessing it hadn't been like, you know, like hadn't been colored by like a barrel or anything. um tried it. it was awful.
00:26:41
Speaker
was horrible. But one one of our friends, I think he must have drank most of it um because it he seemed to like it. ah we got back that night and he'd thrown up everywhere in his room. Like the whole room was just absolutely like destroyed. And the person he was sharing with um tried to like move his mattress out of the room. And they were they were really angry about that because he was trying to like move it to someone else's room because he didn't want to stay. And he stunk.
00:27:10
Speaker
It was horrendous. It was horrible. We went in the next morning, didn't we? And it was one of the worst things that I've ever smelled in my life. It was absolutely disgusting. But he'd had like... I think he'd had like sex on the beaches and stuff. So like a lot of grenadine had gone into the system. A little sharp and acidic smell. It looked like he'd had like um tomato soup. That's the best way I can explain it. creamy. hard it It was so red. It was disgusting. It was horrible. And it was just everywhere. Like it was all over the mattresses.
00:27:43
Speaker
was all over the wall of the floor, the bed frame. Like, oh God, it was horrible. And like the, yeah the cleaner went in the next morning and like, he was just face planted on the bed and we were like, come on, man, we've got to, you got to get out so they can clean the room. And like, he was, oh was he was in a bad way. wasn some job Then we went and sat next to the pool and he was just like, for like, put the, we put an umbrella up. So he was in the shade and he was just like holding his legs, just like, so it felt so terrible. Understandably.
00:28:15
Speaker
But the cleaners, speaking of the cleaners, they were incredibly aggressive cleaners. not Obviously, in that instance, I understand them being annoyed, but... Like, because we'd leave the key in the door so they couldn't just walk in.
00:28:26
Speaker
But every morning, it was quite early. They'd always be like banging on the door trying to get in. ah You have to get up and let them in. in then they'd just immediately start making the bed. Like, I've literally just got out the bed and they've walked in and just started making it.
00:28:38
Speaker
but um mean Every day? Every day. Yeah, every day. One of our friends didn't get out of bed and she just made the bed on top of him. Like, just sort of put him into the bed.
00:28:50
Speaker
Exactly.
00:28:54
Speaker
It was, yeah, it was it so it was a weird establishment. there was ah There was one night where one of our friends, so we had a pool in the establishment that went out onto the beach. um But there was like a there was like a gate that went across to make sure that no one could come into could come onto to the hotel site.
00:29:13
Speaker
One of our friends climbed the fence after being out on the beach and came home via the beach that night. So they climbed the fence and as they did it, the owner of the hotel, Stavros, came out. The hotel was called Stavros or the manager? No, no, the manager, the guy who owned it was called Stavros. Or was the hotel also called Stavros?
00:29:35
Speaker
kind of day ah Could have been. It could have been. I no cannot remember. i was carry But he he literally like caught our friend climbing the fence, um who had been in the sea. um So it was like soaking wet and came came up to hop the fence, like walked around the pool.
00:29:54
Speaker
And Stavros came out was like... pointed his finger at him and was like, you go in my pool? You go in my pool? And like really aggressively, and like walked up to him and just slapped him really hard. And like our mate was like, what has just happened? Like getting battered by, I'm getting beat up by a Greek man.
00:30:11
Speaker
And he was like, no, no, I didn't go in the pool. I was in the sea and like explain the situation. Stavros was just like, you go to bed, you go to bed. So like, yeah, our mate like got up to bed and was like,
00:30:25
Speaker
I couldn't put like the next morning, like trying to give it the bigger light. I couldn't punch him because, you know, he's the owner of that. We were like, yeah, sure.
00:30:37
Speaker
And this this is a bit scatty because can't remember the order of any of these, but that same person, um when we were on the way to Waterpark, don't if you remember this, Scott. We were going like a minibus and he was still like a bit rough from the night before.
00:30:52
Speaker
was very rough from the night before. He just turned to his left And it was just sick on the floor of the minibus. It was on the way back. It was on the way back?
00:31:02
Speaker
thought it was on the way there. It was running up and down the floor. So he just consumed a load of water before we got... Because obviously we're at the theme park all day.
00:31:14
Speaker
And we put our stuff in lockers. And then um just kind of just gone of gone away and had a great time. We hadn't really drank anything or or been around anywhere. um So we got back like to go on the coach at the like a specific time.
00:31:30
Speaker
And he just drank a load of water. And he and he was just like... Yeah, he just kind of like coughed it out to the side, like really casually, just like, sort of thing. um And it was so it was it was basically just water, but it was just running up and down the coach. So it went uphill, like it all ran to the back and it was going forward. So everyone was like feet up, like holding bags and stuff off the floor. It was horrible.
00:31:55
Speaker
Jesus. Absolutely horrible. stunk as well. It was absolutely disgusting. Was it Kavos when we did the pedalos?
Pedalo Prank
00:32:03
Speaker
Oh, is that the best story? i just remind is me Yes. That is incredible.
00:32:10
Speaker
We, um, it was the same person. We went out on some pedalos and, um, this person grabbed one our, already gone. in We'd already gone too far out.
00:32:23
Speaker
Yeah, we were really far out. They were like, only go like, sort of like 40 metres. We were 150. Like in the current with a peddle. We were in deep water at this point. Luckily, it was like, it was a really flat, calm day. So there weren't many waves or anything. Yeah.
00:32:41
Speaker
But yeah, we'd got we'd gone a bit too far than we should have done. um on, John, you can take it. This friend, he picked up, you know, our friend of the pod, Mike, he picked up his flip-flop and just threw it into the sea.
00:32:53
Speaker
And ah we were like, oh, that's bang out, that is. You're going have to go and get that. That's that's really harsh. And ah so he jumped out swimming to get And then we we all just immediately started peddling.
00:33:05
Speaker
And he started panicking himself. ah I don't know who it was. Someone said, mate, yeah. this It was Vernon. what? the bottle.
00:33:28
Speaker
like spat it out of news i'm go to be sick i'm going to be sick
00:33:37
Speaker
so
00:33:41
Speaker
So good. brilliant. He was cruel.
00:33:52
Speaker
It was so, so cruel. That's beautiful. but He was just, yeah. In desperate need of water.
00:34:04
Speaker
but When he was in the sea, he was like full on panicking. He was like, he was like, no, come back.
00:34:16
Speaker
ah got We got the pedal over like back next to him. oh ah Climbed on board. I got it. He was I really need some water. I really need some Oh God, it was awful. It was so bad. So So, so funny. Oh, that's fantastic.
00:34:35
Speaker
that hurt much on me. Yeah, the only other notable things I've got, don't know funny they are. um Mike, our friend of the pod who we've mentioned before, we went to a, there's a bar called Rolling Stone and it's like, it's a Rolling Stones logo, and but they've also got a giant rolling stone outside the front of it.
00:34:55
Speaker
What do mean? Like a stone rolls? Imagine like, imagine like a water wheel, but as a stone essentially. So it's just, it's on, it's on a bar. and then it just rolls around so it just rolls in a circle. but and By the way, while you've been talking about this, I've been getting the pictures up of the place I can imagine I've Rolling Stone up.
00:35:20
Speaker
Yeah, but then it was 50 cent a shot when we were there. Oh, nice. Friend of the pod, Mike, got 30 shots in a line. They can't surely have been, they must have been watered down because he had, I'm pretty sure it was 30 shots in a row.
00:35:37
Speaker
Yeah, it was. He counted them, didn't he, as he did yeah was It was impressive. yeah They also used to do a drink called, they used to do a drink called a head fucker.
00:35:49
Speaker
I found the picture of the Rolling Stone. find It's literally at the front of the... It's like swimming through the Victorian times. It's bizarre, isn't it?
00:36:05
Speaker
It's really bizarre. I'm posting these in the Discord. This is great. And...
00:36:11
Speaker
It's so stupid. Okay, sorry. Carry on, carry on. i did it They did a drink called a head fucker, didn't they? And it was like, I think it like five euros for a head fucker.
00:36:22
Speaker
it was essentially just a, in the mid, like just a vat in the middle of the ah the bar area where they just dip a pint glass into. And it was just like, it was like a punch, but it was like, it had like, ah it had like nine different alcohols in it and they just like poured a bottle in.
00:36:40
Speaker
um and just stir it up sort of thing with a load of like, I think it was orange juice or something. it was green. It was really bizarre. um Absolutely delicious, but absolutely lethal. I imagine they don't do that. They should do those if they don't. There's no way it still costs. only costs a fiver.
00:36:56
Speaker
Oh, yeah, definitely not. it was ah it was it It was intense, but yeah, that that that stuff was strong. um i think we spent we spent quite a few nights. and Yeah, it was so cheap in there. It's got a cool little place. And it had like a club it had like a club section in the back, didn't it? So it had like the main bar area and then in the back was like proper like dance floor, like glittery glittery disco ball and everything. Wait, is this Rolling Stone still?
00:37:24
Speaker
Yeah. and it was just ah such a great place I can't remember the name of anywhere else there other than that that's the only place I can remember the name of yeah that was the only one we we spent a lot of time in we went to we did go to ah ah full moon party and Benga was playing do remember Yeah, I remember that.
00:37:42
Speaker
That's cool. Have you got the picture from that? and i haven't got it anymore because it was on my old Facebook. like I don't know if anyone else has got it, but yeah, got a picture with Ben. He gave gave me some vodka.
00:37:53
Speaker
It's supposed to be an only rider. was that the ah Was that the night where we all went out in faces? Yeah, it was adam i say his name is adam Adam's birthday. and So we all we all wore masks of Adam's face. Nice.
00:38:08
Speaker
Very nice. but that was ah That was fantastic. That was fun. um Yeah, Wretch 3-2. think the reason we were sold on that, know Scott's mentioned it, was that it was meant to be a free bar, which it was a free bar.
00:38:22
Speaker
But um there was so many people there. There was only like one person serving. We got about one drink each. um And he was terrible, wasn't he? You only have one drink at a time, couldn't you, as well? That was like the other rule.
00:38:35
Speaker
Yeah, he was he was terrible. He did like one song and then just left. And we're like, oh, okay. So glad we've played 80 euros for this. That's pretty hard, though.
00:38:51
Speaker
Yeah, but you couldn't get... 80 euros would get you lot of drinks in Greece. But I remember on the on the way back as well, on the last day, because the flight times were so bad. we were flying back...
00:39:04
Speaker
Really late in the afternoon. Yeah. Oh, it was midnight. I think it was midnight. Yeah. We were kicked out of the hotel. It didn't. the Yeah, I think our flight time was meant to be midnight. oh the um The coach was picking us up at like eight o'clock.
00:39:19
Speaker
So we just had to, like, there was no bag drop off. or Yeah, yeah. Kicked out at like 10 o'clock. Yeah, 10 a.m. Get off the site. Yeah.
00:39:28
Speaker
You can't be around the pool or anything. It was what we were told. Once you've checked out your house. Oh my God, Bruce. I think that was probably down to our friend who jumped. yeah but and not Not a general rule, just for you. Just for us. Threw up in a room.
00:39:44
Speaker
Didn't they try and like claim for us breaking a door? Oh yeah, there was like a hole in one of the doors and they said... It was there before. and and is behind It was behind like a piece of paper. So they knew it was there. They put the paper over it and we'd obviously just Oh, naughty. I think we all had to put in for that because I think they they wanted like so much for it. But I don't think it was any of us. It was like a solid wood door. You need like a hammer to make that sort of hole. like I think, yeah, I think we did all put in for that. I think we all paid like $20.
00:40:11
Speaker
10 euros or something so it didn't go down onto one part think they wanted like 90 euros for it or something yeah it's crazy but yeah the so there was that but yeah we didn't fly out till really late so we went and sat in in like they's just this thought it was like all everyone it was like a sports bar wasn't it and everyone everyone's chairs face the front everyone was feeling really crap Like really crap. Everyone was dying from the night before. nearly like we all went quite hard, didn't we, on the last night? Because it was because we knew it was the last night.
00:40:48
Speaker
And we were like, oh, well, it's fine because we've got time before we we get on the flight and everything to like recover. So we went to we went to get breakfast.
00:40:59
Speaker
where We went to the same place every day. um And it was it was it was it was pretty good. it was like a we We had like fry-ups, full English breakfast. Did you fry-ups with chips? Oh, yeah.
00:41:11
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Oh, no, no, no. I didn't, but lots of people did. oh yeah. But, yeah, we just had to sit in this bar all day, like watching football on the TV. Some like random ass games of like,
00:41:26
Speaker
teams that you'd never heard of before. It was miserable. Just all our suitcases and stuff. It was horrible. It was really hot. There was no air con. There was just fans.
00:41:37
Speaker
And it was like 30 plus degrees. And it was just, God, it was awful. And everyone was like... feeling it really badly everyone was dying weren't they we were just like when is this coach picking us up and then the flight from the flight was delayed um a couple of hours as well and then we got home i remember i remember getting home just wanting to go to bed and my dad was like no no you've been uh you're playing cricket Oh my God. I was like, what? No, I'm not.
00:42:10
Speaker
He was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. They had a call last night. You had a call couple of nights ago. you were ah You weren't, like, they're short. They're short. and they're short um So they've asked if you if you can play. So, yeah, you're can you're going to go play. So I can't remember if it was a T20 or like a whatever, but i got home at like one o'clock, went straight to bed.
00:42:31
Speaker
And then just like, yeah, absolutely died on a cricket pitch in the evening. It was horrible. I just remember just like going out to bat, like running a single.
00:42:42
Speaker
And I was just like, I'm going to be sick. It was horrible. Well, thanks for that, Dad. It was a fun old time. But it is a bit weird thinking about now. It's like Scott mentioned earlier, like...
00:42:56
Speaker
You don't have any like access to the internet or stuff. People used to have to go on, like you know, there's like PCs that have in like the in the reception of the hotel. You'd pay for like 10 minutes or something. ah That was nice.
00:43:08
Speaker
I felt like I was on the holiday with you there. yeah i I got excited about going. And all the fun, and then then all like the the hurt afterwards. Yeah. I think it is, you've mentioned it on most podcasts, but I think that jackass generation just inspires when you get a group of friends together to just be horrible to each other, I guess. is the I don't think jackass did that. I think that's just how it goes. That's just life. That's just life. Mark.
00:43:38
Speaker
ah
00:43:43
Speaker
Have we got any stories? ah We do, yeah. and We've just a short one this week, which is fairly interesting. This is from a student that i used to teach, actually. um So this is my old school, the same one that John taught at Oh, okay. so So one of the students was, they'd just come out of ah the middle of a lesson to go to the toilet.
00:44:09
Speaker
So you used to get like a toilet pass. Hey, this is my story, isn't it? This is my story. You'd think so. I mean, when don't we mention a toilet on the VOD? I know, yeah, every week must be.
00:44:20
Speaker
But yeah, it was like, so in this school, there was quite a... what's the best word, like quite a strict teacher. You know, I wouldn't say they were quite Miss Nibs ready. But yeah, it was quite a, it was quite a, fear to behold in the, in the teaching world at this place. And this member of staff was like, she was fairly, fairly, fairly well known. Most people knew her.
00:44:46
Speaker
And, and they, one of the people that kind of like would call you out on like why you're out a class sort of thing. Um, like if she saw you in the corridor, so that's what she did. She called the student out, was like, what what are you doing? Where you go and She's like, Oh, I'm just going to the toilet. miss Um, so yep.
00:45:03
Speaker
Okay. Can I, can I see the toilet pass? Yep. There you go. Okay. Crack on. Um, And as she was yeah like going down the stairs, I think she thought that the student was going ah was going back up from the toilet and not going to the toilet.
00:45:18
Speaker
So she carried on walking, but the student was behind her. I don't think she realized the student was behind her and just let out an almighty fart. going down the stairs. So it was just like completely on her own. I just heard this like massive, massive fart as this teacher's going down the stairs. yeah. was just like, so every every time, like obviously she didn't bring it up. The teacher didn't know she was there or anything.
00:45:45
Speaker
ah And every time like she bought i saw this member of staff, she was just like, She just couldn't look at her in the same light the same light again. All the fear had gone away from gone away from this member staff.
00:45:58
Speaker
I remember having very similar thing with Mr. Pierce coming out the MS block once. Who's Mr. Pierce? One of our teachers... um remember the name. He was like... He was like Deputy Head or something? Yeah, I think he was Deputy Head. Oh, yeah. Oh, he was real angry. Yeah, real angry. I always thought he looked just like, you know, Fat Tony's like one of the mob in The Simpsons. Yeah. You know, the other guy with the black curly hair. I know, the black curly hair thought meant the bald guy.
00:46:24
Speaker
i thought you meant the bald guy. No, no, no, no. But he didn't have hair. Oh, we're thinking of someone else. Okay, don't worry. But anyway, yeah, he, he kept like, you so you had like the main MS block entrance and then you had the other one on the other side um by like the calf and it was on those stairs and I held the door open I think he thought I was going in to the um MS block and he carried on down the stairs and he had a little like fart but like moved his leg and body and everything. i was like, Oh God, that's horrible. And he turned around and looked at me and was like, oh shit, carried on walking. It was He was just getting comfortable.
00:47:04
Speaker
But yeah, i like, oh God, what a horrible situation to be in. Like just, I think I'd, I think as a, as a teacher, I'd just be distraught that that happened. I used to hold him in.
00:47:16
Speaker
you have to just own it. You got to own haven't you? Just show dominance. Yeah. Yeah, that was me. That's what I did. And what? There's more where that came from, Sonny. I don't know why, but that's for some reason just all of a sudden brought a memory back. It's nothing to do with that. But i don't know if you're remembering like the classrooms in the quad, like the history classrooms and stuff.
00:47:36
Speaker
um There's always that sign. It said, do not touch the blinds. um And so someone had changed it to do not touch Theodore, like they'd write on the end. And it just always made me laugh every time saw it. Every time you saw it. Yeah. Why Theodore?
00:47:51
Speaker
I don't know. It says it fit into the word the, didn't it? Yeah. So nice. Please do not touch Theodore blinds yeah exactlydo blind. Yeah. What did happen to that kid?
00:48:08
Speaker
He's buried under the ah the history floor now. Oh, yeah. um Well, on that note, we just want to say thank you for sending the emails in.

00:49:24
Speaker
Is the young lady in the photo with you? Or is she not? No, no, I don't know who that is. Because it's a very... ah very very weird thing to ah to kind of, but she looks very happy with what's going on. but Also, it must have been about like five to 10 years older than us. Yeah, it looks a bit, it does look a bit crazy. Because we're like 16 there.
00:49:46
Speaker
You look tiny, Nick. You look like we're about five feet tall. I think i am I'm just leaning over. think it's the angle, yeah, where he's leaning. I was one of the tallest in that group, which is weird.
00:49:57
Speaker
at the time. But then, like, obviously all the others, like, completely overshot me. They're all, like, absolutely huge. I'm just looking at the photos that Luke's put in of Rolling Stone and he's put one of an evening in where it looks like all lit up and cool and everything. And then I've just put one of it in the day and it just looks you got a date chi it looks like such a rundown place.
00:50:21
Speaker
Oh, no why That's so funny, isn't it? What a difference. when um I would oh i'll just say, me and we went on holiday with ah mom and dad and John and we went to like, I think you actually did go out there, John, but we went in the daytime to like where the strip is.
00:50:41
Speaker
um It's just really, really bizarre to see it because like i don't think I've ever been away and seen the strip of a place in the daytime. like Or at least not the evening, but it's so different. It's such a rundown. but like like Everything just looks bleak.
00:50:54
Speaker
and then But then you go in the night and everything's like lit up with neon lights. looks amazing, doesn't it? Neon does a lot. and it just yeah But in the daytime, it just looks so like rundown and horrible. Why would anyone ever enjoy going in there? Even at the night they raise the flags.
