2025 - Deleted scenes and gag reel
Enjoy our 2025 gift to you!
If you’ve ever wondered what gets left on the cutting room floor — this is it:
The accidental philosophy, the ridiculous arguments, the laughing fits, and the moments where we completely lose control of the ending.
Think of it as the gag reel at the end of a DVD… except the DVD editor gave up.
What’s In This Bonus Episode?
Outtakes and bloopers from across the year
The tangents that went too far (but were too good to delete)
Multiple attempts to end an episode… none of which worked
Paul’s notes (and the growing myth around them)
Darren going from film theory to unexpected life philosophy
Rare moments when Marc failed to keep things on track.
Conversations that drift from movies into music, nostalgia, gratitude, fear, and back again

Foreign.
Marc: e bonus episode or the end of: Darren:So this is also means we've been doing it for a year.
Marc:Yeah, January 14th was the first episode but in the new year we will do a full recap episode all the spot if wrapped stats have all started coming through.
Darren:Oh yeah, I've seen them from our fans.
Paul:It actually says fans on there. The dream is complete, Derek.
Marc:So once we've got all those in, we will do a new year like recap on the whole thing. But this is just. This is outtakes. This is some of the stuff.
Paul:What do you mean outtakes? Surely we get it right first time every time and Darren never takes the piss out of me.
Darren:But this is also the golden tangents. I'm hoping as well some of them are. Yeah, we go on amazing tangents about the importance of shark hoovers and dating and he cuts it out.
Paul:I know it's always very disturbing to know that our greatest rants are now in the archives and but you'll hear them with this lost episode.
Marc:So this is bloopers, outtakes, extra bits that didn't fit in some of the main episodes just because the sake of time. I mean when we finish some episodes they're like an hour and 10.
Darren:We used to get told off a lot.
Marc:We did you better now you're better.
Paul:We started to go, that's not going in, is it? And you go no, it's not going in.
Marc:No. But you better now.
Paul:We don't even know if this is going in the bonus episode right now. It could go. He was ruthless.
Marc:But yeah. So just enjoy this. This is our little Christmas present to you. So from all of us enjoying. Merry Christmas.
Darren:Merry Christmas.
Paul:Merry Christmas.
Darren:That was going to wind me up. I pictured listeners being like what the hell's Darren talking about? Why is he mentioning Woody Allen? I'm not sure that guy's really elect.
What are his qualifications?
Paul:It's okay, you've redeemed yourself. I do remember this now. One day I'll look back at my notes and actually realize what I was on about.
Darren:You should keep them. And one day we can publish a.
Paul:Book like a journal.
Darren:Limited edition competitions and poor day notes.
Paul:Complete read Paul Dinosaur wing.
Marc:Yeah. Read all day's notes that you can't. Nobody can read.
Darren:Or you, you could publish like a diary for other people but like a day by day diary. And then each day by day. Exactly. And then, and then you've just got like at the bottom snippets of your notes.
Paul:Oh, nice.
Marc:That is excellent. I might keep that in I don't.
Darren:Think Cool days Day by Day diary.
Paul:I don't think people want to read these notes.
Darren:Our fans do.
Marc:Do they?
Darren:Yes. Now weird. I feel like that could be said.
Marc:On quote you should have had is not.
Darren:What should you have gone to?
Marc:You know who pulls off a beard? Dumbledore. Not you. Come on.
Paul:I did. I did have that.
Darren:And the theme is to grow beards.
Paul:Ah. Disappointed you there.
Darren:You can try harder like next time. We've only had two meetings about replacing you, Darren.
Marc:Third one's tomorrow.
Paul:Yeah. I'm not strong enough for this.
Marc:Paul. We love you.
Paul:I'm looking for the quotes now. Like to end it on a different one.
Marc:That was that generally laugh out loud made me laugh that that quote. I thought that was hilarious.
Paul:That volcano shot convoys money in the bank. That was the other one I was.
Marc:Going to use still like you've committed now.
Paul:I get. I get nervous when I come with the shit. I need to pick one of these every time now. A of lot unless there's one that I particularly think is good.
My favorite's the long walk home where it was like I can't even remember any. Just move on. That was a fun episode though.
Darren:It was. It never know which one's going to pop. And that one seemed to pop.
Paul:I never thought of the circle thing. That was all cool. Where you were saying like he was looking back at him.
Marc:Oh, I've just realized there was a weird scene in that where the woman was turned on by a young boy with muscles. When the Grinch was strong and he was turning upside down she was going, yeah, those muscles.
Paul:I'm like, oh yeah, that's a bit weird.
Marc:It's another one of those. If that was the other way around.
Darren:We'D be like what the Kylie?
Paul:That's true.
Darren:Yeah.
Marc:Just because it was realized I'd written right the bottom of my notes but I hadn't put it in.
Darren:Yeah, 12 or something. I can't remember if they said their age.
Marc:Just that made me go.
Paul:It's like cartoon land. It's a little bit freaky when they go young, isn't it?
Marc:Hit the stop button.
Paul:Hit the stop.
Marc:That's it. This episode is officially over. This is Mark saying goodbye.
Darren:Darren saying goodbye for now.
Paul:Tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows?
Darren:What's that accent?
Marc:I don't know.
Paul:I was going for dramatic. I was going for dramatic.
Darren:Okay, do it again. This time I won't laugh at you.
Paul:Well, I'm not going to do an accent Now. Okay, tomorrow, this. I was trying to be very dramatic there. Tomorrow the sun will rise. Stop looking at me like that. Who knows what. Oh, better.
But look, Chuck. There you go. That's a better one.
Darren:What was the quote? This one with the sun will rise.
Paul:Well, you've. You've interrupted it now.
Marc:Okay, let's do. Let's. Let's do the whole thing again. Okay, well, how are we gonna. How are we gonna. How are we gonna end that?
Paul:I don't know. Go again.
Darren:Okay.
Marc:Okay. This episode is officially over. This is Mark saying goodbye and Darren's.
Darren:Saying goodbye for now.
Paul:Tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide will bring? Stop laughing at me. End it with a.
Darren:The accent was funny. I don't know what you were doing.
Paul:I don't know. I was doing it.
Darren:That was our second take of that because I laughed too much.
Paul:One day I'll look back at my notes and actually realize what I was on about.
Darren:You should keep them. And one day we can publish a book.
Paul:Like a journal.
Darren:Limited edition competitions and poor day notes complete.
Paul:Read Paul David, Dinosaur Wing.
Marc:Yeah. Read all these notes that you can't. Nobody can read. Or you.
Darren:You could publish like a diary for other people, but like a day by day diary. And then each day by day. Exactly. And then. And then you've just got like, at the bottom, snippets of your notes.
Paul:Nice.
Marc:That is excellent.
Paul:I might keep that in, I don't think.
Darren:Who? Day's Day by Day Diary.
Paul:I don't think people want to read these notes.
Darren:Our fans do.
Paul:Do they?
Marc:Yes.
Darren:What was your top album or song on Spotify? This.
Marc:Something about Metallica.
Darren:Mine was. My daughter's impacted mine, so mine was a lot of six and musical, but mine was head flux.
Marc:What was your musical age?
Darren:24.
Marc:Mine was. Mine was 45. Almost what I had.
Paul:I have an ipod.
Darren:Well, that's. That's good. You've moved on for CDs.
Marc:I mean, his age is 89. Yeah. One of my colleagues, it was. It was 89.
Darren:One of my students was at 89. I said, what do you listen to? She's. I like Tchaikovsky.
Marc:I said, yeah, all right. That is one of my. Was it a classical? My friend who had 89, he listened to classical as well.
Darren:Part of his shout out to Connie for listening to classical.
Paul:The beauty of having an ipod is I'm not being judged by anyone. It's just I listen to whatever I want.
Darren:Being judged.
Paul:How do they know? How do they know I'm listening to.
Marc:Music Onto it, you have to get CDs and turn them onto all of.
Paul:My CDs on it.
Marc:Right. So you convert them to MP3 and then transfer them to your MP3 player.
Paul:I did this a long time ago, but yeah, initially that's what it is.
Marc:What about getting new music on there?
Paul:Well, I download them from my tunes, but I still want the actual. If I like a song, I want to give the musician the money for buying the song. If I do it on Spotify, they get no point. Not, not, not.
Marc:Musicians need more people like you. To be fair.
Paul:Yeah, streaming is the worst in terms of. For musicians because they make more.
Marc:It would be great.
Paul:Yeah. So if I like an album, I'll pay a tenor and I download the album. So, yeah. Go physical media. Woo.
Darren:I remember one time, I think she was my wife or fiance at the time, went to New York and I was like, you're going to die. The only things I know about New York are gangs.
Paul:That's how I feel. It's like, I really want to see it because of, you know, you know, Christmas films.
But I've also seen enough crime films that I'm like, I'm just not gonna make it, am I?
Darren:Yeah. When I went to Thailand, I was terrified of being caught with drugs, even though I had no intention of ever touching drugs.
But I'd only seen movies where you go to Thailand and get arrested for having drugs on you.
Paul:I'm starting to learn where my paranoias come from. It's the movie's fault.
Darren:Oh, it's the 80s is what it is. Dude, I've just got an electric blanket and I'm. I swear it's gonna burn my house down. Because in the 80s it was like, you're going to die.
Would you like to hear the story of the Golden Buddha?
Marc:Not really.
Darren:Sad times. Fine.
Marc:This might make the bonus content. Darren, tell us about the Golden Buddha.
Paul:Bonus content.
Darren:I don't know where I heard this, but it's allegedly probably in somewhere in Asia. There was a village and a war was. And they had this massive golden Buddha, like a big statue. And they heard that the enemy army was coming.
They're like, they're going to come. They're going to look like a gray Buddha. And then over time, you know, that's what the assumption was. And then one day some.
A bit of the clay fell off and they realized underneath was gold. And they've got to chip away all the. All the gray and they realize it's golden. And I think of that as being us. When we're born and we're born.
We're full of hope and peace. We have no racism. We have no body dysmorphia. We, we don't quit. We, we don't judge. We don't judge.
We, we will fall over, over and over again until we walk. We're highly independent.
Paul:And the novelty of things like, oh, grass, novelty of sand, the beau taking nothing granted.
Darren:Exactly. And then the world and its cynicism sticks clay onto us.
Marc:That is good.
Darren:And then, and I think of that with my students. What I'm trying to do is chip off the clay to try and get them to be the golden buddhas again.
Or the golden, the pure, innocent version of themselves. And so this movie for me, for me, Alf is like the golden buddha. He's just untouched by cynicism and the.
Paul:World'S best cup of coffee. Well done, you guys. Yeah, just a crappy cup of coffee.
Marc:It's childlike innocence, isn't it?
Darren:And he's just. His body is completely different from everyone around, around him. And he completely accepts it. He's not ashamed of it. He's. He's just wants to fit in.
He's just happy. So, yeah, cool story. Service is always terrible in those imaginary.
Paul:They just get distracted easily.
Marc:Yeah, yeah, they just disappear. They never come back.
Paul:Hot chocolate.
Darren:Can I have a cheeseburger? No cheeseburgers. I can give you eggs, I think. That's not what I ordered. Or your eggs, daddy.
Marc:Or. You'll get a choice. But whatever you choose, they've already made it. No, you can. What about, what about this one? No, I chose this one.
No, but you have. Okay, don't give me a choice. Tell me what I'm having.
Darren:Put it in your mouth. Chew.
Paul:I feel like all of my make believe would have been influenced by some kind of film reference even as a kid.
Darren:There's that joke, isn't there, that you can be the godfather and if a 4 year old hands you an imaginary phone, you answer it.
Paul:Yeah, that's right. Yes. I make them enough, they can't refuse.
Marc:We have another. Okay. This is the most interaction we've had on a question. This is from someone I actually got a school with over 20 years ago. He's got in touch.
He's been listening.
Paul:Surely you can't be that old.
Marc:Yeah, as old as me. Nearly 45. In fact, I think he's a bit old for me. So he probably is 45 by now.
Paul:I watch the ghost whisperer with Jennifer love hewitt. So most of what I learned about ghosts is from that party of five.
Marc:Right.
Paul:But they have this thing in Ghost Whisperer where they say, like, kids can see them see ghosts till a certain age. And then they stay.
Marc:There we go.
Paul:Obviously, Jennifer Love Hewitt keeps seeing them. She is the Ghost Whisperer.
Marc:I'll edit this out.
Speaker D:Hi, guys. My name's Danny. I've got a little bit of a ghost story for you.
So we went to school together and then I chipped off and joined the Royal Navy for 22 years. But in the early part of that career, I was sort of on a holdover down in Portsmouth at Royal Hospital Hasla, which was like an old naval hospital.
This is used, like during World War II. Older than that as well, I think. But one night there's myself and another guy. I was a junior A at the time and a senior A with me, a petty officer.
And we were in the front of this reception area, just acting as security, really, for the. For the building. And there was no one else in the building. We knew this because we do set arounds and walk around and stuff.
One night I sat there, it's about 2 o' clock in the morning, we both saw a figure sort of walked past the doorway somewhat. So the guy sort of said, stop. To this figure. Nothing was heard. So we followed where we thought this figure had gone.
And then when we looked down the corridor, there was a nurse staring back.
Marc:I can edit the full thing in anyway. Well, that's interesting. So they saw it. But when two people see it as well.
Paul:Yeah, that's. That's the bit where it's extra freaky, isn't it? It's not just playing in your. Your mind because someone else has witnessed it as well.
And I can imagine that being scarier when you look and go, have you just seen what I just saw? And they're like, yeah, I just saw.
Marc:I think if it happened to me, I'd want someone to be there just to. Because it's not just me telling a story. There's always a bit of skepticism there. If it's just you telling an anecdote.
Paul:Yeah, but I just. I've just witnessed something in my head.
Marc:Or like when something goes viral, a video and something in the sky, it's like, well, multiple people have seen this thing and captured it. Yeah. Interesting.
Paul:Spooky.
Marc:Yeah. Are you a believer?
Paul:Shit that'll turn you white.
Marc:I think it's quite naive for us to think that, like, we're the only.
Darren:Life form in the idea that we're so arrogant to think that the grass isn't green. We just perceive it as green.
Paul:We called it green. We made that word up. Yeah, it's like, oh, I used to ask these questions as a kid, like, well, why is it orange? Why is it called orange?
It's just what it's called. Yeah, but who decided that that was going to be orange?
And that fruit becomes the color of the color eventually, you know, my parents would just be like, shut up. But like, like you guys do now, like just shut up. But yeah, I'm the same as you.
I think there's so much out there that we don't understand we don't know about. Like the pyramids. They'd not really explain them properly. How do we know they're not something to do with space or dimensions?
I know, I've seen Stargate and everything.
Darren:They were topped with gold, weren't they? And they, they had this really important.
Paul:How would they build them in them days without the technology, etc, etc. So there's so many questions that we don't know about. But the blatant way we work around. Well, we're humans, we know everything.
Darren:Yes.
Paul:And then when we do find out something new, it's like, well, of course the world is round.
Darren: evidence that there was like: Paul:There's a lot on Xbox which percent of our brains. Loads of films about.
Darren:Do you not think that's the Lucy thing, isn't it?
Paul:Yeah, Lucy Limitless. Yeah, that sort of thing. So yeah, there's probably lots out there we don't understand. Do you wonder if the younger generation.
Slight tangent that probably gets edited out for a bonus episode. But do you wonder if the older films, because they're simpler with less effects and CGI and it's more grounded with the story.
Darren:I think there's an element with. We talk about this with music, haven't we? Because they'll.
Because of the extreme services like Spotify, they'll listen to almost anything and anything can be number one now, like just because it was on Stranger Things or whatever. So yeah. So loads of known Bush.
Paul:Yeah.
Darren:So yeah, I don't think that necessarily. There's a lot of stuff going on. I don't think movies are being made as well as they used to be. And I saw Jamelia Jamal. Is that her name?
Talk about how a lot of filmmakers are talking about second screen. So can this follow this film if you're also scrolling on Your. So they dumb it down so people can pay attention.
Marc:She said, yeah, do not like that.
Darren:But I think I told you this story.
There's one time when I was in town, just sat at a bench, and I saw, like, a group of young people, probably in their 20s, go by laughing, and I was like, look at them. Smug bastards. Like, what I would give to be 25 again.
But then I looked over on another bench, you know, it's a lady who's probably like 80 or so and, you know, very translucent kind of skin and the milky eyes, and looked at me and I was like, I wonder if she's looking at me being like, what I would give to give. Be 48 again. It's like, got to live your life, like. And we. But we compare ourselves to other.
It's weird because we compare ourselves to people whose lives we perceive are better. And we could easily compare ourselves to people who are struggling more and just be unbelievably grateful and thankful.
Marc:It's like that story I'm sure I've told him before. If my wife was in the street and there was an old man struggling, just. He just had to stop and take a breath.
And he had some bags, and he was just like. And she just felt like, I'm gonna see if he's okay. And she's like, are you all right, sir? Can I help you? No, I'm just. It's just like, wow, okay.
Paul:I always remember at school, very quickly there was a teacher. I think there was a problem on buses for just this reason.
So all the kids would be going on the buses, and the old people started putting complaints in the school. So a teacher got two of the young lasses, so I don't know how old we were, senior school, so maybe 15, 14, something like that.
And they got them on stage and put them in gloves. I think they put something in the shoes. Basically tried to recreate some of the stuff that the old people would have and then said, there you go.
Now get your money out your purse for the bus. And the lasses were.
Marc:Fingers don't work.
Paul:Yeah, exactly. And they were struggling with it.
Marc:Buttons up or the zip.
Paul:And it stuck with me. I can't remember the name of the teacher who did it, but it was a really powerful.
And you could see the lasses and all the kids going like, oh, yeah, it's a different stage. And, yeah, I think you're right, Darren.
It's appreciating where you are now, because wherever you are, you tend to be going, oh, wish I was back over there.
Marc:That is how it made you feel.
Darren:I was feeling that. I mean, I try and do gratitude all the time. Like, particularly when I've had, like, mental health struggles.
I'll do that thing when you wake up in the morning and you list three things you're grateful for. And at the end of the day, you list three things that you're proud of yourself for.
Even if that's like, oh, I drank enough glasses of water, or I kept my cool. I used to do it when I would stop at red lights and I would be like, okay, list things you're grateful for now.
And then you start looking forward to stopping at red lights because you get to list them. So, like, gratitude is just an amazing thing. It's a great vibration. We should all do it. And I try doing it with my students.
I'll hear them have a first world problem. My first world problems are okay because we live in the first world. It's like, these are the problems we have.
But at the same time, you know, I'll reference, you know, something that's happening in the world and be like, oh, really? That's. That's hard for you. Like, the queue in the canteen was long.
Paul:Like, oh, no, I'll do that.
Darren:I'll get there and be like, sake, look at this queue. I'm like, okay, yeah, I'm queuing for food that's warm and fresh.
Marc:What was the classic ones? Why do the hot dogs come in eights but the buns come in 12?
Darren:Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Paul:These are. These are the problems. That's another spin off podcast right there.
Darren:Yeah.
Paul:That's how many good films there were, I guess, back then. Oh, not good.
Marc:Four point.
Darren:What? Five? Yeah.
I also think the ending of Ghostbusters 2 does the audience thing better when they're getting a Statue of Liberty and they kind of run through and it's a longer fight and it's like, that's true. Absail down. And it's more, Jack, Happy New Year. And it's. Yeah, exactly. And then there's jeopardy, because he's got the freaking kid.
Paul:Oh, yeah, I am Vigo. Slight members.
Darren:Yeah.
Paul:Don't want you get disappointed again, though. Yeah.
Darren:Paul, I genuinely thought you'd finish with your notes. That's why I was jumping in. I didn't realize you had more. I think you usually have four or five, and I think you're done.
Paul:No, I just keep going with this. It's Ghostbusters, man.
Darren:That's cool.
Marc:Yeah.
Darren:I wouldn't normally interrupt you if I Thought you had more, so I apologize if it came across that way.
Paul:No, it's fine.
Marc:Good.
Paul:I enjoyed the tension where you're just like, these better be good. The pressure, because you were getting, like.
Darren:Really nervous about it and I was getting twitchy.
Paul:It's because there was so many I was reading through. I'm like, I did this. They were all quite good. And I'm like, there's so many. Yeah.
Marc:Kind of okay with that because I'm an older parent. I became a parent. 40.
Darren:Yeah.
Marc:You said done.
Darren:Yeah. He might used to be a rock star. Yeah. But, you know, being on stage, performing to a big audience, that's as close to.
Or it's similar to kind of being. If it would, I. For me, it looks like it would. Imagine it almost being like divinity, just being. Worship people.
Marc:Yeah. One of the best things I've ever done. But, like, going traveling, things like that.
Darren:Yeah, But.
Paul:But you still get to a point where the end of that chapter comes up and you start a new chapter, I guess.
Marc:Yeah.
Darren:Now, this, like, whenever I see, like, a massive stadium, I saw one recently. Brian Adams about to sing, like, the song and the whole audience are just singing it back to him. Seen it with Lewis Capaldi as well.
And I just think, wow.
Marc:Someone sent me a meme of a band at Glastonbury this year who I'd never heard of, but I like the music. I'm gonna look them up. The music was cool, but they had the audience. The audience was just fans with them, and it was an instrumental part of a song.
There was no vocals. They were just rocking out, and the audience was totally with them. It was like, I like this. And I'm gonna look up this band.
Paul:See the bit that scares me with that. Or not scares me, but if you imagine you've had that and you've had it at that level, how do you sustain that? How do you sustain that feeling?
Like, some people do have that longevity and they're still doing it. But then eventually it seems like whoever they are, they get to a point where everyone's going, you need to retire.
And they, like, turn on them, if that makes sense.
Marc:Yeah. But the best. The best artists don't care about.
Paul:Oh, no. They just keep going.
Marc:They write music for themselves. They're not right. As soon as you start writing people the music, it's never gonna work.
Paul:That's right.
Marc: his is Mark saying goodbye to: Darren:This is Darren saying goodbye for now.
Paul:Hey, you look good. That's Some dress you got there.
Darren:No. There's so many bad quotes. You can.
Paul:I know. Well, I. I've run out. We said most of them. I was gonna say I wanna make. He's making passionate, violent love to me, mother.
Darren:Yeah, that's the one.
Paul:Do it again. Do it again. Let's do that one. I was going between the two.
Marc: This is mark saying goodbye,: Darren:This is Darren saying goodbye for now.
Paul:He's making violent love to me, mother.
Darren:Oh, that was so Monty Python. It's not me. I'm not. It's someone else. It's another Darren.
Paul:Too late. It's been cut. It's cut. There we go.
Marc:Right, hit stop on the thing.
Paul:Nailed it. Keep. Keep that bin.
Marc:We are going to go straight over to Darren Horn.
Darren:This is a huge pile of. This is. This is.
Paul:He did so well. I hold that until now, listeners.
Darren:This is an absolute tragic.
Marc:Lasted four seconds there.
Darren:Oh, movie. This is. I was so angry walking out of this and that they dared to put this on screen.
Marc:Okay, this takes us what could be the most entertaining part of the show, which is, what do we think? And I'm going to go straight to Mr. Darren Horn.
Darren:This is one of the shittest movies I've ever seen. And it's the shittest version of a shit genre as well. Like, there's.
Paul:I can find your worst ones, Darren, but you won't watch them.
Marc:Before we go any further, I secretly admit that I picked this because I forecast this was gonna happen.
Paul:So this is like.
Marc:Yes.
Paul:Oh, Mark.
Marc:If I'd read. I've got it here. If I'd read. Which I don't do for these. I don't read the synopsis. I don't look at anything because I don't want any. But if.
If I'd read this. On Devil's Night in Detroit, musician Eric Draven and his fiance Shelley are brutally murdered by a gang.
A year later, a mysterious crew resurrects Eric. I'm out. Nope, not for me. Nope. Really? That takes us on to hate it or rate it. We are, as tradition, you was your pick down, so we'll go to you first.
What do you think? And what's the score?
Paul:Right.
Darren:So I saw this. All I can think of is where I was living. And I was living with my parents at the time. So I would have been like teenager.
I would have thought I would have. I think I probably watched it a couple of times in my teens. And the scenes I remember, I remembered exactly.
. Like, oh, how am I driving?:And that bit where he comes back at the end after you think he's dead, and he's like, airbags. Can you fucking believe it? They're like, he caught a fire. Sprinkler system. So I had this, like, nice nostalgic feel, but it's a piece of garbage.
Marc:Tried to be nice about it there.
Darren:Yeah. I mean, it really.
Paul:I do love these cliffhangers. Till we get to the end, and you're like, boom.
Marc:Well, I fucking hated this movie.
Paul:Oh, my God.
Marc:Absolutely hated it.
Darren:Because metal.
Marc:This is a shit movie, in my opinion. Nothing happens. Nothing happens. I. I love this beginning when he. When the. He found the letter of the takeover. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then he comes back and nothing happens. I was waiting for the next part of that bit of the story that basically. That's like. That's a huge thing in the whole. That just.
Just bookends the story.
Paul:Yeah.
Marc:Like, for me. Then it goes in. I'm like, okay, so it doesn't discipline him, doesn't sack him, doesn't. There's no real consequences for.
He's just gambled all this money away. And then there's just these teenagers. Just. Just the whole thing annoyed me. The teenagers, the teenager. I don't know if I'm just old.
Paul:This is your Minecraft. My words.
Marc:Oh, my God. It's just so boring. I've written some notes here. I don't know if I'm not gonna read them all, but it just. It feels like a wasted opportunity.
Like the. The fact that that potential takeover. I thought it would have had. I thought it would have had more of an effect on them.
I thought it would have made them pull together and get a Together.
Paul:Well, they kind of.
Marc:They just kind of went worse. It made them go worse. They just went into themselves. They just like. I felt like the same as you guys. I thought, oh, this is gonna be shit. And it was.
