Go on, tell me a story.

Uh, well, most people know the struggle of needing the loo on a long car journey.

It creeps up on you over time and then gets stronger and stronger, and before you know it, you're desperately keeping an eye out for a service station or some other place you can stop.

Well, a Chinese company has decided to tackle this issue head-on by designing a car with a built-in toilet and putting it on sale for the public.

Passengers can use a button or voice command to get a toilet to slide out from under their car seat.

A pipe then pumps the smell out of the car, and the waste is collected in a tank that does have to be emptied manually.

The car is only for sale in China at the moment, but could be available in other countries soon.

So Joe, whenever you're ready, take it away.

But I bet the vibes are different now after the season.

I, I would say specifically with these two is there is a friendship that has developed outside of the game, and gone through some hard times.

And these two specifically have been super kind.

Like, it hasn't always been easy, and they've actually been wonderful people.

So seeing them again is like, it's almost, it's refreshing, 'cause it's not in the game where, like, all these things happen.

It's like real people, as crazy as it sounds.

So I see my friends.

Yes.

And Joe didn't mind traveling to get to the right professional to help him move past his sex-related fear.

So I went to a therapist, and I found a professional who, uh, will work with people who have issues around sex, and I needed to have the experience of sex to get past that fear.

I went to this person, and we spent two months working towards that goal, sex being not guaranteed, but possible.

And, uh, when we got to that point, you know, we did what everyone does, take off their clothes, kiss, cuddle, foreplay.

And then she turns to me and she says, "How about a blow job?" And it was the funniest thing because it's, it was like she had just asked me, "Would you like a cup of coffee?" [laughs] And it was that moment of like, oh yeah, you just ask.

Like, that's all it is.

So I had so much fear, fantasy, ideas around what sex was.

What were the main takeaways for you? What did you learn from that first experience?

[laughs]

You know? And I'm not talking about the ugly person in bed with you.

I'm talking about something seriously wrong, and you're looking for your car and wondering if it was a dream.

And, uh, I was worried.

I was worried about the legal repercussions.

I'd just had a DUI.

I was worried about the financial repercussions.

[laughing]

And, you know, thankfully Guardiola recognized that at half time and made the change, which-I'm not sure it necessarily-- Well, I, I think it did have a massive part of City winning it, but as, as Jonah mentions again, Schürrle didn't win City the game, but just being a little bit more proactive, having creativity in that central part of the game, as we saw with the goal, which we'll come onto, definitely did help City sort of find those breakthroughs a little bit more often.

Yeah.

I think with the lineup, to be fair, I, I, it wasn't my favorite kind of lineup.

I don't-- It wasn't the one that I predicted City to come out with.

But I could see definitely where Pep was trying to go with it.

Do you know what I mean? I think earlier on in the season when we played Chelsea, he tried this kind of, you know, stretch the pitch kind of thing.

They're gonna have a back three, maybe a back five at times.

[laughs]

It's, uh, it's Cardz.

I mean, we, we talked about this with not the group that you mentioned, Tivo.

This is a more elite group that we, we spoke about this to, and we called this, uh, right on the bottom, and it, um...

How many X's, how much percentage gains did it do? 200%, and that's in like in two to three weeks.

And so I really shout out to, uh, one of our a- analysts, Rohit, who also broke this down, uh, really, really well.

What re- this really captures is just the Pokemon craze right now, but not just the Pokemon craze.

It's the collectibles craze.

Joe, you wanna share your screen? There was something here you wanted to share around Tokenworks?

Joe, uh, what have you been talking about this week?

Uh, so I'm gonna talk about the main story on our big news pages.

Uh, it's about a cruise ship being evacuated following an outbreak of hantavirus.

Uh, now, before I explain more, it's important to say that authorities around the world are taking steps to control the outbreak and that this is not a pandemic.

Uh, so what is hantavirus? Hantaviruses are a group of viruses found in the wee, poo, and saliva of mice and rats.

Humans can become infected by breathing air contaminated with virus particles.

Most hantaviruses do not spread between humans.

Uh, Joe, I'm gonna get up the old clock here, so whenever you're ready, take it away.

the gays are onto something with that, you know?

Hey, listen, you wanna, you wanna...

I'm not gonna say the place 'cause they're open.

But I went to a spot, and they're like, "Hey, we saw you bouncing down the street.

We got an event going on next Wednesday.

Like, would you wanna work? We'll give you 250 cash." I'm like, "Four hours, 250 cash?" I'm like, "Done deal." I get there, I walk inside, there's about four TVs right, and there's just fucking...

I didn't know the place was a gay bar.

Slaves

And what did you mean by that, not defined by the institution?

So I'll use myself as that example.

A lot of my coworkers on my one psyche unit, I have this amazing interaction with them.

S- There's mornings that we'll go out for, you know, you know, get egg and cheese omelets and a beer after, after the shift and whatnot, and I have a lot of people that's like, "Ah, you know, you're leadership.

You shouldn't be doing th- with that with your, you know, your subordinates." And it's like, why not? You know? Like, why shouldn't I be doing that? You know, that, that's what I mean, like, the institution defines as, "Oh, you're the house supervisor.

You need to act a certain way." Absolutely not.

I like to joke.

I have opinions, but Joe, what do you think? [laughs]

[laughs]

Farmers survive.

For us, this was about us being self-sustainable, and if we can provide some food for our community, that's a plus.

Like, so we sell our eggs.

You know, when you think about, you know, eggs, I, I, we, again, in our podcast we talk about it, and I have another one coming out, where if the cheapest thing you c- the only thing you can afford is the cheap $1.69 a dozen eggs, then buy those.

The best thing you can buy is a pasture-raised egg from a local farmer.

There's not a huge price difference.

[laughs]

Um, Joe, what's another story you've seen in the news this week?

It's a story from our UK news pages about a charity that is looking to hire a gull ranger to work over summer this year.

The Berwickshire Marine Reserve, which protects coastal waters in Berwickshire, Scotland, said the main responsibility of the gull ranger would be community engagement.

The ranger will be out in the town of Eyemouth and surrounding areas speaking to people about gulls, explaining why the birds have moved into urban areas, and advising people to make small changes in their behavior to avoid problems with them.

Examples including making sure they dispose of food properly.

Uh, Eyemouth in particular has had issues with gulls in recent years, so it's hoped that the ranger will be able to help with that.

Ready? Uh, so Joe, whenever you're ready, take it away.

Yeah.

So their pre-rookies are kind of interesting, and the ones made by Topps are a little bit more like easy to digest than something like a 2013 BBM Ohtani would be, right? So-

So-I was like, "Screw it.

Let's just buy a bunch of these." I graded all the paper, Murakami, and Sasaki's, and any of the cooler looking case hit cards, and just chucked them on eBay.

And all of a sudden I'm like, "Wow, these are moving.

Like, slow, but they're moving." And they're...

It's a crazy premium for how many you get in a box, so we just kept buying, and, uh, ripping, and grading, and it goes from there.

Uh, Dave has the rest of the story.

Yeah

So it's got a lot going on, and it's gonna be something that, that is truly interesting.

Mm-hmm.

Absolutely.

All right, so next is something that stood out to me this year es- especially.

Uh, it is the transition period between that winter vibrant coral bark of Sangu Kaku and that bright green vibrant leaf that comes out beside it.

Uh, once again, it is all about that contrast.

This is one of those trees that contrasts with itself so amazingly.

That, that is a very interesting, uh, photo you took of Tiny Stars.

I just sneak in sometimes and watch it.

Yeah.

[laughs] Oh, wait.

The Cloud Car.

Wow.

This feels, like, really grown up that nobody's walked us to the Cloud Car, but we got here on our own.

I got the pull lever.

Whoa.

[laughs]

Um, over the summer his father, Joseph Marver, acquired, uh, the Spirit Halloween enterprise, and he started using that to his advantage to become really, really popular.

Uh, the Spirit Halloween is super popular in Beechfield, and he has used his power and his influence to climb up the social ladder, so to speak.

He's 17, blonde hair, blue eyes.

Um, his stats, we have one cool, zero fit, hmm, uh, negative one sharp, and [laughs] negative two weird.

So he's cool and, you know, somewhat athletic but not in a threatening way.

He doesn't overshadow the jocks or anything like that.

[laughs]

[laughs]

... combined, they combined two scripts to make it into a love story.

So the entire mood of the movie changes in the middle where Will Smith finds another superhero who is of his same species, but if they are too close to each other, like physically close to each other, they lose their superhero powers.

And so, like, they have to stay away from each other and never be around each other, or else they cannot be superheroes anymore.

And it was all because this, the studio wanted to implement a love story into this superhero movie.

They just combined two un- unrelated scripts together.

That's what the Cody Rhodes-Randy Orton match seemed like to me, where they had two different ideas.

But, uh, w- what do you, what do you make of this whole thing? Is, is he on the hot seat? What's going on with Triple H?

Did he struggle with depression or any other kind of-

You know, I look back and often think that, and I don't think he did.

No, I don't think he did.

A lot of people would say, "Yeah, he must've been depressed," and this and that.

I don't think so.

I lived with him.

I know him very well.

But what Joe does confirm is the next day he received a package in the mail with power of attorney forms, Tony's bank statements, and superannuation policy details.

Can you tell, can you tell me what happened?

Oh, he got...

I- you know how like, have you ever worried that when you're on an escalator you'll get stuck in the escalator-

I think there's-

It's all part of the great...

You know, w- in the time it took that, the train to drag that guy under and grind him up into hamburger, seven little babies were born.

Oh.

And you imagine, "Yes, let's get married," and then a nice 15 minutes of fireworks, but she said no, and then we had to sit there and, uh, watch fireworks.

Yeah.

I kinda do.

I mean, I, I get it, most guys at this point would have said, "Forget it, I'm done.

If the universe is not giving me a green light yet, then, then maybe we should separate." But she's making it very clear that she does not wanna break up.

What, what will they think? What will they think? Why will they think you're here? Are you trying to steal from them? Could be very serious repercussions for you.

Well, I mean, I can't go back.

[sighs] Guess I'll have to go on.

Wary of this strange voice that he heard in the room, he's gonna creep out from under this desk, and he's gonna pull off his shoes, and if there's laces, he's gonna kind of, like, tie them together and put the shoes around his neck, and if there's not, he's gonna pocket them, but just-- or even just, like, jam them into his belt, and then on his sort of socked feet, he's gonna edge across the room towards the door and very gently open it, only, like, an inch, but just so he can get more insight into what's happening.

I, I chose that word very w- very poorly.

I think so, yes.

Thank you so much everyone for playing, and thank you everyone over listening.

I hope you enjoyed our return to Goodcliff and the horrors that lie beneath the waters there.

And Joe, do you wanna sh- start by weighing in on anything at all?

Minin.

And somebody had reached out and said to me, "You know, I thought that about my son, too-

N

You know-

I see

So that's where I'm going.

I see.

Oh, that's no good.

Um, and I'm just fucking eating some bread anyway, and I've not had any sugar.

You know, um, I'm doing all right.

But I'll tell you what, mate, like you talk about staying with God and everything else when you're, you know, when you're making decisions on self, and you're going the other way, and I find it really hard when I'm tired.

Like if I'm tired, I'm fucked.

I'm bang in trouble.

I will never make the right decision-

Mm

If you would, would you start from the very beginning? What were you doing, and what happened?

We was on an elk hunt.

It's a yearly elk hunt we do, and we've been doing it probably at that point at fifteen years we had been doing it.

I got certain places I hunt in the morning, certain places I hunt in the evening.

This was gonna be an evening hunt.

And I usually walk, you know, two or three miles uphill, and my second half I turn around and come back and walk that same-- not the same area, but like come back to the camp on a downhill, make it easy.

And, uh, they were doing some logging this year, and w- I just wanted to go see what they were cutting because it's gonna affect the hunting for a few years, so I just wanted to see what they were logging.

Being kind of an experienced guy out there, what's your take on that when you hear people walk in and out of this smell?

Love him.

But just remembering you highlighting him.

And you know what? The thing with Pepio, he's never been bad.

There's never been any stretch of t- time in the Major Leagues where he has been, you know, a guy you can't start or a guy that you're worried about, your ratios are gonna get blown.

Like, nothing like that.

Like, he's a 3.54 ERA, 114 whip for his career.

And I know there's been, you know, not full seasons mixed in there, but over close to 400 innings, you start to think that that's pretty legit, especially with his stuff.

Joe, what were you gonna say?
