Speaker: Oh, and we're back and we're back and we're talking about dogs. We are talking about dogs. Yeah. We've got a couple of dedications. One is to 80, 20 living on TikTok. I think her name's Sarah. And this goes out to Bertie, her little dog.
Speaker: Um, and, uh, also to my friends, uh, Pug Lola, um, who, who, uh, who was a great friend of Eddie. Who was my pet by, by, by the way. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker: Oh, right. Let's crack on. Let's crack on. I've lost the script. Because we decided we were going to do this episode about dogs. I was thinking about... I was doing a bit of a nostalgic trip. Do you remember that series called One Man and His Dog?
Speaker: And it's a bit weird for Americans to think about this, but it was basically, it's like sheep herding with sheepdogs. And it was just like, it was prime time television on a Sunday night. Okay. With this guy called Phil Drabble. Okay. With a really thick Yorkshire accent.
Speaker: I think I was watching, I hadn't watched this thing for ages. I just looked, I looked it up on YouTube and it's astonishing. This guy's like oozing and just like getting really excited about how he describes these sheepdogs. It's got cool field drabble. And just to give you an idea, he talks with a bit of a whistle. A bit like, oh yes, like that. Yes. A bit like what came to mind was for Americans, you can relate it to Matthew McConaughey as a fine whistle.
Speaker: when he talks with his Texan whistle. And yeah, if you imagine Matthew McConaughey in Tweed in a deerstalker cap and he pretty much got Phil Drabble. Right. And then the whole show, as far as I remember, this was in the 70s, right? It was watching a dog round up sheep. Yeah. That was the show. That was it. But you should see the way they dressed. I don't think that they even timed it.
Speaker: No, it wasn't timed. It was purely technical. It was purely technical. And these dogs jumping around. The one episode that I watched, the first bit was just like, they were like, kind of like this.
Speaker: slightly obsessive, like on a fetish level, about how well bred the collies were, the dogs. And like these farmers, Yorkshiremen, Welsh farmers, you know, getting really excited about how good their dogs were, you know. Yeah, I'm sure they would have had to fill the space somehow. Yeah. Oh, and there's your dog in the background, there's Rudy.
Speaker: A message to you Rudy. And yes, playing with this song. And but think about what I remembered about that program was that it was a real one of those reminder programs that's like, Oh God, it's school tomorrow. Oh, really? Oh, yeah, that was the thing that made me think that and glasses of summer wine in the theme tune music to the last time. Oh God, it's school tomorrow.
Speaker: Sunday evening TV you know happy because it was always good TV on a Sunday evening but in the back of your mind just think how easily entertained we were you know prime time Sunday BBC sheep herding
Speaker: Yeah. All right. On that woolly note, welcome to ADHDville.
Speaker: Hello, I'm Paul Thompson. I was diagnosed with a combined ADHD some months ago with my profound combining methods being the trusty whisk choosing, depending on my mood, between the balloon whisk, the double balloon whisk, the French whisk, or for your more exotic type of whisk, the Danish dough whisk. So combined, combined, combined ADHD. That's how you combine eggs.
Speaker: Diddy Diddy Diddy
Speaker: Oh, I see. You can buy eggs with a whisk. So I thought I'd seamlessly link it to ADHD.
Speaker: All right. And, uh, my name is Martin West and, uh, I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2013, which, um, as it would happen, the top dog names in 2013 were Max for a dog, uh, for a mouth dog. And, and.
Speaker: and a bella for a girl. Okay. There we go. 2013 Max is a very popular name for dogs in Italy in 2024 actually. So a lot of them are called Max. A lot of them are called Rocky.
Speaker: Male dogs, obviously. Imagine a female dog called Rocky. It's a bit weird. You know Heart to Heart? Yeah. The dog was called Max, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. They had a dog called Max. Yeah. It was murder. When they got together, it was murder.
Speaker: It's I watched a couple of episodes of heart to heart a couple of months ago or something. It kind of holds up in a weird way. Okay. Robert Wagner. Robert Wagner.
Speaker: If you squint, yeah. Okay. It's funny. It's a funny show. Okay. Yeah. So, so anyway, we're just two mates who, by coincidence or not, after 39 years afresh, have discovered they were co -ADHDs. Hurrah!
Speaker: Now it's really important to say that this is an entertainment podcast about an adult ADHD does not substitute for individualised advice from qualified health professionals who do not take any advice from us. No, no, no. We're just here to kind of all -inclusive ADHD park bench with room for your
Speaker: Doppelgangers, your auto egos, your body tuples, your chaperones and even your best buddies. And for a limited period only, because we're feeling extra generous, we're making room for your prodigals, your charlatans, your ruffians and your trogolites.
Speaker: Still here? I'll be pressed. Then grab your jetpacks, your pedilows, your space hoppers, or any other transportation method. Let us take you to HHDville, a imaginary town that we created in our minds, where we like to spot different parts of ADHD.
Speaker: Jesus, that's getting longer. It's getting longer as we go. I'm just saying that whole section. I'm just trying to take as much time as I can. But now it's become my segment. So I'm just like, I'm milking it. I'm milking my segment. There's a vision for you. I'm milking my segment.
Speaker: Let's move on to me for my little segment and say, yeah, we start off as always here in the town hall of the mayor's office where we, the joint mayors of ADHD, will take care of business. And we've got a couple of things on the agenda.
Speaker: agenda item number one is a YouTube update, which is fresh. If you've been on, if you watch us on YouTube and then wonder where the hell our channel went, we basically lost the whole thing. So I'm now having to rebuild it slowly.
Speaker: We'll put up the new channel link in the show notes if you're listening. Yeah, well, yeah, that's it. That's all I can do. That's all I can do. I can put the I'll put the and then and then basically over the next month or so, I'm going to have to remake the videos and put them back up online. So it'll it'll take a little while to get all of the catalog back up there.
Speaker: All right, so that's that's a minor hitch in a minor hitch in a GHD bill Yeah, yeah and Item town holders got scaffolding around it for a couple of couple of weeks. That's all Yeah, yeah. Yep. That's it. I turn number two is that we're gonna be this is a onesie
Speaker: episode where we just talk about one thing and we're talking about ADHD and dogs, which is a fantastic subject to talk about. And the item number three is that at the end, there'll be a quiz because we like a quiz on this podie pod. All right. So where shall we go? Polio. Well, I thought we should go to the park. I think Martin, what do you think?
Speaker: All right. Yeah, I think that sounds like a perfect place to go and talk about doggy dogs. Yeah. Car round.
Speaker: okay so yeah i guess we should talk about uh before we get too much into into the positive side of dogs we should talk about the the um things to like you know head heads up shall we say absolutely yeah heads up owning dogs
Speaker: Right. Because what I wouldn't want anyone to do is think, oh, owning a dog if you've got ADHD is fantastic, and then you get one and then it's not for you. And it's a disaster. So so so I think that the big thing is, is that it's a it's a commitment. Right. So it's it's a time commitment because you've got
Speaker: Um, you know, cause you, cause you have to take, uh, the dog for a walk, you, you know, you've, you've got extra cleaning up after it. You've got, um, you know, extra chores. Uh, it will cost extra money.
Speaker: Yeah. Right. Yeah. Festivals are off the scale, at least in the UK at the moment. Festivals are like off the scale at the moment. There's like a big, there's a lot of people just going, getting really angry about how bad the festivals are going at the moment. So you could, I've got friends who've got like a dog that will continue, continually eats their, um, their socks. And it's like every, you know, they have to like take the dogs to a vet and they get,
Speaker: The socks taken out of the stomach, this poor thing. And it's not expensive. It's every time. I mean, that's like, can you imagine on top of your ADHD, I think about those kinds of, those kinds of events.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then there's also like, cause you have to plan ahead. So if you, if you're one of these people that like to kind of go off on a, on a, on a whim and go, go for a day trip here or there.
Speaker: you now have to kind of take a dog into account, right? So you have to kind of get someone to look after it, or it restricts where you can go and what you can do. I know that I'm going to a hotel next week, but it's a dog friendly hotel. So I'll be taking him.
Speaker: For me, when I lived in Palermo, I had a really good dog sitter. And then she was amazing. And she was like, really, I mean, she was more of like, she would take my dog, you know, more of a personal pleasure for her. You know, she got really attached. Actually, she cried when we left Palermo. She's really upset.
Speaker: She was really upset. But, you know, they're worth waiting for if you can find them, especially if they're near home as well. Yeah. So they go on straight, you know, rescue dogs. On the one side you think I'm doing something good for rescue dogs, but
Speaker: my dog is a rescue dog but he lived by himself that's him over there say hello really and he's got his own habits he's got his own little doggy habits and there's nothing you can do about it so it's at least with if you take him from you know from very young whereas a puppy you can uh you've got more control of matching their their habits but then you've got other stuff going on so there's all kinds of
Speaker: shenanigans with dogs to bear in mind. So if you are going to get a dog, I guess what we're saying is that a rescue dog would be preferable. But yes, to your point, some rescue dogs are more
Speaker: easier to own, like some require a lot of rehabilitation, whereas some have come from a nice family friendly home and actually will just kind of adapt quite easily. But puppies do take a lot of
Speaker: energy and training, they are kind of quite hard work. But yeah, all right. So that's reasons to not get a dog if you have ADHD, but onto the more interesting part, which is great reasons why having a dog is good for ADHD.
Speaker: um like um go go for it Paul yes yeah like like um well I remember when when I first got Rudy I had a bit of a problem at first because like to me it was just like another chore that I had to do and it took me a while to like get into like oh um Paul just like come on Paul just like taking for a walk and just like
Speaker: forget everything and it took my while but in the end I've got it I kind of sorted myself out like when I take it for a walk is I'm not thinking about work I'd like you know I take it for a walk and you know sort my thoughts out
Speaker: and get the fresh air and stop hyper, um, hyper, you know, obsessing about stuff. And he's great for that. You know, it's like, he sticks, he sticks his nose onto my armpit while I'm working at my desk and says, come on, mate, take me for a walk. And off we go. And it's great. Yeah. His little wet nose. Exercise.
Speaker: dogs exercise, get you out of the house, get you out into the fresh air in a fan fantastic. Break up the routine a bit. It was always good. Yeah. And I've met loads of great people because we've had dogs and we've
Speaker: started chatting. Some of my friends are all dog people that we've met because our dogs met each other first and then we're kind of like, hey, how's it going? I like your dog. I like your dog.
Speaker: We've got to sniff around each other like the dogs do. Dogs, they sniff around each other. We sniff around each other, you know, because we're a bit more polite. Yeah. And we don't kind of stick our noses up with each other's asses, but, you know, do we do it in a more polite way?
Speaker: Exactly. I've met loads of great people that way. I can only meet people that have female dogs because Rudy is just a naughty boy with the male dogs. He's just unbelievable.
Speaker: is just like a hyena. Yeah, it's just not good with him. Ed is not so interested in male dogs, but he likes a bad girl. He likes a
Speaker: really likes the real the real moody bit bitches if you have my dog language okay yeah yeah he like yeah yeah he likes him he likes him he's he's he's he's all about it okay my dog has color coding
Speaker: He he if a white dog goes across his runs across his his path or it's like near him. He is like it's like they're they're they're they're invisible to him. Couldn't give a damn if they're white dogs. Yeah. It takes no interest in the dark dogs. He goes. It just goes ballistic. Yes. He's got color coding is a bit is a bit weird that that way.
Speaker: Oh, right. That's funny. That's funny. And then he has nothing with size as well. He doesn't give a damn. He could be the biggest male dog and it would just like jump on him.
Speaker: Unbelievable like that anyway, so any other any other benefits I've got a bunch here. Okay, if we need me to step in Keeps you honor keeps you on a timetable So okay, you know, I like read routine I like so and Eddie's really good at
Speaker: Uh, getting me out of bed because, because he wants food and then I sort him out and give him his food and take it for a walk. So, so he has a set routine and that, and I, I, I like that, that he imposes that on my day, on my day. So he has a timetable and then therefore I end up having to have a bit of a timetable and I like that.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah, no, cool. I'm a bit like with driving, I find that as driving does, it gives me a moment to I don't know, I find it really calming when I'm driving. It's the same when I take him out for a walk and somehow manage my thoughts better when I'm outside of the house. Yeah, just collect my thoughts and you know, the a really helps with that. Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah. And what about, you know, that unconditional love, right? Because dogs don't care a crap about whatever it is that you care about, right? They don't care what you've done.
Speaker: Exactly. The first thing on my list is exactly this, actually. So unjudgmental. I guess if you're an ADHD, that's really cool, isn't it? That's good. Right, because sometimes you can feel low. They are very good at
Speaker: knowing when you are stressed. They can tell by your voice and by your actions how your mood is. That's one of the reasons why we get on so well with dogs is because they can read us
Speaker: Yeah. As well. It isn't just the other way, way around. So. Oh, totally. Totally. Give you hugs and cuddles and sit by you. Yeah.
Speaker: And then Rudy, he's just Rudy at times. He's like, he's too late now. He's glaring at me. What are you talking about? Yeah, he's just like... Are you talking about me, Dad? So unjudgmental, but also his needs are so simple that you can't help but just slip into that kind of way of thinking. It's like, okay, let's just do what he wants to do and go along with it, go along with his plan.
Speaker: Sometimes he helps me simplify my life a bit. Makes me care a little bit less about when things are going bad, definitely.
Speaker: So I've got, have you, have you got any other positives, Mr. West on the, on the dog? Um, just, just, just to kind of say that, uh, you know, that connected to the last point, it, you know, it can, you know, dogs decrease your anxiety, you know, like just petting your dog, you know, is well known, but that's so, so helpful. Yeah. So, you know, you know, I think I, I did read somewhere that the dogs are the best animal
Speaker: If you have ADHD for, um, okay, you know, uh, yeah, which has come to mind. Yeah. It's just come to mind, actually. It's like, if I'm going down a little bit, like a rabbit hole of like stupid, you know, unuseful kind of thought kind of patterns, and then I can just like Rudy, just like pull me out of the rabbit hole, literally.
Speaker: Sometimes it's like, it's really cool like that. It's like instantly you could like pull me out, whatever, you know, if I'm catastrophizing about something or, or just, you know, you know, you know what it's like. Um, he pulled me out in no time at all. And, uh, yeah, dad, can you, can you, can you feed me? Otherwise I'm going to, I'm going to cause a contest bite, bite your leg. If you don't, yeah, exactly.
Speaker: Oh, he just wants attention. He likes attention. Right. Yeah. A bit of a play. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah. All right. I've got here. I've also got a study, Martin. I've actually got a study that was done in Finland. Ooh. In Finland.
Speaker: that was done with over 11 ,000 dogs. It's not like a small, it's a three year old research that was done, well, it came out three years ago. 11 ,000 dogs, that's quite a few, right?
Speaker: And so what they set out to do is like, oh, is ADHD, human ADHD, can it be related to dogs? The answer is a resounding yes. Okay. It's called hyperkinesis, right? And apparently we've got some very similar chemical markers. It's very similar to dogs, such as low blood, phospholipid levels.
Speaker: which is a bit of a mouthful to say, but apparently, yeah, dogs do have a lot of similarities with human ADHD, even if it's got a different name. Bizarre, right? Much more likely in male dogs, but also much more likely in certain breeds of dogs, like the worst is the cairn terrier.
Speaker: the golden retriever and terrier, the German shepherd, your Staffordshire ball terrier. Okay. But also one of the, one of the best dogs you can have, if you want, if you want, Oh, I don't want a dog. I don't want a dog with ADHD. I'm struggling with my own ADHD. I don't want any other. Get a two hour, two hours, very low, two hours, very low on ADHD, apparently. Yeah.
Speaker: Bizarre, right? Yeah, exactly. All right. They've tested them. So, but even less so if you get a female chihuahua. Yeah. Um, yeah. And also body size was a factor. Uh, bigger the dog, the more chance, the bigger the dog, the more chance they have ADHD.
Speaker: Okay. Somehow related to body size. Um, but there is a thing that's like joking apart. There is like, it's like, there are not that many similarities because actually as they get older, the ADHD in dogs, it plummets to zero. So by the time your dog, how old is Eddie? All right.
Speaker: It's getting on, isn't it? It's like 13 now. Right, it's got no ADHD. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh boy. Yeah, zero. No. Zero ADHD plummets. It's just like, goes down at about a 45 degree angle on the chart. So yeah.
Speaker: Oh wow. There you go. I was surprised. I thought, come on, it's just a bit of fun. But actually these guys in Finland, probably Helsinki, I'm guessing, 11 ,000 dogs that they researched. Right. Someone gave them money to do that. So dogs can get their version of, they have their own version of ADHD.
Speaker: Yeah. Right. Cause I was, I was thinking, do dogs have ADHD? And I was looking into it and I was thinking, well, yeah, they were saying yes. But, you know, I feel like it was putting a human condition, like onto a dog, but yeah, but I feel slightly better about it. If, if, if it's actually its own thing, what do, what,
Speaker: What was it called? You're asking me that. You just want me to get into difficulty. Hyperkinosis. Hyperkinosis.
Speaker: Okay. All right. Okay. Yeah. There we go. All right. It's the same thing. Yeah. All right. I would say that actually more importantly than that is it's almost important to have a dog that shares your energy levels. Right. So, so if you had a, a working dog,
Speaker: Those are the ones that have bred to have a purpose. They are like sheepdogs, as we were talking about earlier. They are very intelligent and they require a lot of activity and stimulation. Whereas Eddie down here,
Speaker: He's born as a lap dog, so he's easy. He just likes hugs all day. I love Rudy so much, but he's quite a hyperactive dog.
Speaker: Well, in the house he's really good. The perfect house dog. I always tell everyone that he's bipolar. Outside the house, he's all over the place. He's just mad. So sometimes if I want to go out, if I'm really, really stressed, sometimes I go for a walk without him. Sounds bizarre, but I sometimes need to.
Speaker: because he'll just like pull me from left right to the of the road and to be barking at dogs and just go crazy. And also he's like the bells. It's like bells, church bells, which is a bit of a problem in Palermo because, you know, it's quite Catholic, as you can imagine. Okay. Churches everywhere. So bells everywhere ringing ding dong, ding dong.
Speaker: He hates the sound. He hates the sound of them. So he, um, no, it doesn't work. He howls at them. He howls at the bells. Oh, right. So yeah, it's funny. It is cinematic and the Italians, they always ask, Oh, is he all right? I said, don't worry. He's, it's just that he's, um, he's, he's, um, he's protect protestant.
Speaker: as in the opposite of Catholic. Is that what you're saying? That's what I tell them. Oh, I'm sorry. It's just that he's Protestant. That's what I tell them. Oh, Jesus. And then they just have like, they just stare at you like I don't comprehend. They change the, yeah. They walk the other side of the road all of a sudden.
Speaker: to me it's really funny, I always chuckle to myself. Oh sorry, he's protestant. Oh boy. Oh boy, yeah exactly. Jesus Christ. So... Alright. So how about this is a good point to get back in the car, we'll go back to the town hall, and you have a quiz, right?
Speaker: I do, actually. Thanks for asking. I believe. I don't. OK, so let's get in the car. That's what we that's what we promised the good the good people of ADHDville that we would have a quiz. We're not going to get them down, are we? So. No, let's bring the car around and get back to our chambers, I believe, if that's the right word. Oh, I like that. I like that idea.
Speaker: Okay, so I've got, it's actually, you have to pick out of all of these breeds, Martin, of dog, you have to pick out the one that I've made up. Yes. Okay. All right. You concentrated. Oh, okay. I like, I like, I like this. Okay. Okay. All right. There's three of them in total.
Speaker: Okay. Consisted the same. So the first one, you have to guess what out of these five dogs, you have to pick out the one I made up. Okay. Grand Basset, Griffon Vendine. All right. So you got that. Grand Basset, Griffon Vendine. Okay. B. Common Door with a K. Common Door.
Speaker: Okay. C. Coton de Talour. Yeah. D. Benjidore. Or E. Cambodian Razorback. Which one is the odd one out?
Speaker: okay so now i have to kind of go to my the dog show almost like cruffs or the uh american kennel uh dog shows where they'll go scruffs the grand basset the grand basset the grand basset the griffon ventine
Speaker: or the Commodore, Cotton D 'Italia Benjidore or the Cambodian Razorback. See, I'm going to narrow it down to either A or E.
Speaker: on the basis that A, there's the, the, the, the Babassat and the, and the, and the Griffon are two different types of dogs. Right. So I've got two dog names in one dog name, which, which kind of raises alarm bells in my head.
Speaker: Well, yeah, I've got a basset like yeah, and and and a griffon I can understand the last one the Cambodian Razorback the Cambodian Razorback Yeah, this sounds like someone's made up a cool name for a for a dog. I mean Razorback yeah, so I you know what just just on the
Speaker: Just on the logic of there's two different dog breeds in one dog breed, that sounds like a weird one, so I'm going with A.
Speaker: Yeah, no, you're wrong. You're wrong. You're wrong. They say in Yorkshire. You're wrong. You're wrong. It's the bench. Benchy door. Benchy door. Made it up completely. There's actually a breed called the Grand Basset Griffon Van Dean or Cambodian Razorback. I want one of those things now. I want I want to get myself a Cambodian Razorback.
Speaker: All right. So moving on this next little, little Quintet are all Terriers. They're all Terriers. Okay. Okay. Oh, you ready? A little bit more. Yeah. The first one, a Bandy Dinmont Terrier. Bandy Dinmont Terrier. B Edlington Terrier.
Speaker: C Western Terrier D Sky Terrier Zola -Litz -Kuntilly Terrier Shall we dispel it?
Speaker: X -O -L -O -I -T -Z -U -I -T -Z -C -U -I -N -T -L -I. Zollonskli -tli -teria. Okay, so A, B, C, or the D. If it's Chinese, if it's Chinese, then the X is pronounced with a sh, so it'd be like,
Speaker: Oh, John, Sholo, Sholo, Sholo. Sure. Okay. Oh, good Lord. I mean, like, there's, okay. So I can, I think the Western terrier I've heard of and the sky terrier. And I think if you can't say the last one, then it chances are that you didn't make it up. The Bedlington.
Speaker: The Bedland in Terror, marvellous. I think that sounds like a thing. So I'm going with A, the Bandy Din Mon, whatever it's called. No. A is my final answer. Weston Terrier. A friend. I should have told you a friend. You'll get confused with the West Highland Terrier. Oh, come on. You'll get confused with the West D. Weston, you'll get confused with the giant hotel chain.
Speaker: Western Terriers. Oh, the Western Hotel. I know. Okay. Six. Six. Yes. The last one. That was sneaky. I know. That was sneaky. The six in this last one. Hit me. You ready? A. Yeah. One of these is made up, right? A. Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog.
Speaker: Okay. Okay. Yeah. B the Brussels Griffon. Right. For sure. Yeah. Oh, I love Brussels Griffon. Okay. Sounds like a biscuit. Yeah. Okay. Oh, have you, have you ever seen one? Is it? I think I have actually really nice. Yeah. Norwegian spruce hound. Yeah. They got really crazy faces.
Speaker: Right. Okay. Peruvian Inca Orchid. Oh, wow. Okay. Alaskan Klee Kai. Okay. Yeah. Or the Belgian Lakenoise.
Speaker: Okay Belgian naked noise. Okay. All right. I feel confident. Are you? I know. This is, this is, this is, this is just for, for pride. This is, uh, okay. So the, I can definitely rule out B.
Speaker: the Brussels Griffon, I'm going to rule out C, the Norwegian, I'm going to rule out D, the Peruvian Inca Orchid, and the Alaskan Clichae. The
Speaker: the the first one i know that there is like an australian there's a there's a there's a great working dog the australian something but i'm going to go with with that just for the pure thing because you've gone with a with the first two should go for a for all three just yeah i yeah yeah because it has the word the Norwegian spruce hound
Speaker: Good Lord, that's a zero for three. Zero for three. You slapped me round the face with a clipper on that one. Do you need a flatter or something? Do you need a flatter or a nice bucket? I'm just going to have a shower now after this.
Speaker: Oh, that was awesome. I sucked. You're sucked. Yeah. Okay. All right. So it's probably time to go to the post office.
Speaker: Do you have anything for the post office? I don't think I have actually. We haven't got any feedback. We're right through us anymore. We've got loads of, we get loads of feedback, obviously on TikTok, so we don't have like endless hours. We always get lovely feedback from Michael, of course. Lovely Michael.
Speaker: Yeah. So let's just say that I just want to shout out to Michael. He was actually, he's actually the posted my favorite ever TikTok video of all those seven months I've been on TikTok. The most beautiful, delightful, joyous TikTok video I've ever seen in my life is basically repairing with a drill.
Speaker: something in the back. I think it's constructing a kitchen or something and he's put the phone at the back of the drawer inside the drawer as he's fixing it with a drill with two of his little kids looking peering in as he's fixing it. And with Michael narrating as he's going, it's a total joy. So that's our friend Michael, Michael the Lime.
Speaker: Michael, I'm tick -tock, what's it called? It's Autistically Me. That's right, I always read it as Autistically Me.
Speaker: Yeah, I know. Check him out. There we go. All right. I've just reloaded the script back. All right. Well, OK. Well, let's say as we are in the town hall, that is the wrong figure. I just pulled up the wrong script. So I'm just going to kind of slightly work out the intro based on memory, which is
