Or is that the second floor? I guess if ground floor is 35 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,920 first floor then this is the second floor. Or it's the first story, whichever way you 36 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:52,760 want to look at it. Got it really nice set up here. Basically all the stuff that 37 00:04:52,760 --> 00:05:00,200 Christina had hijacked in the bar at the castle. I now have to myself. I've got my 38 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,720 what is it cinema display monitor, which is now hooked up to my own power book. I've got 39 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:13,080 all my audio stuff, my breakout boxes. Actually I'm doing today's or this 40 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:21,160 this evening show partially at least on my sure SM7 microphone, which is I've actually 41 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,360 have no idea how it sounds. It sounds a little, I think it's a little bit of hiss to it, 42 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:31,720 which I think is probably let me see. Maybe that's probably the mixer I've got. 43 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,360 I'm going to have to figure out the best settings for all the stuff that I've got here 44 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,920 and certainly for this microphone. I also have the wireless mic which I'm going to switch over 45 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:46,600 to in a second so we can cruise around the house. I'm trying to think where to start, man. 46 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:54,920 So the last time we spoke we read the castle a very, very empty castle at that. And we were 47 00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:01,960 getting ready to leave. Let's see, we left on Thursday. Patricia and her sister Iván 48 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:08,440 were already here. And they were basically working with the movers on packing stuff. Patricia 49 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:14,760 called somewhere around Thursday and she said, oh man, I don't know. I don't know what to do. 50 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,440 There's just too much stuff. I'm going to have to send stuff back. And when you think about it, 51 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:26,680 we probably moved about three houses worth of stuff. We pretty much emptied out the bunker and 52 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:32,280 Amsterdam. That's now been rented out to that reality show. The next Moscow beats is the name of it. 53 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:40,440 Moscow beats is a name of very famous trial lawyer in Holland who represents all kinds of people. 54 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:47,480 Showed his piece of people but also criminals. Everything but war criminals because he's Jewish and 55 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,920 he refuses to represent war criminals but he has no problem with any other type of criminal. 56 00:06:53,720 --> 00:07:00,360 But he's a nice guy actually. He's a very celebrated attorney. And so I guess there's like 10 57 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,800 candidates or whatever. They move in tomorrow. In fact, and two are going to fall by the way, 58 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,400 so I'd almost immediately. But they're all going to stay in the bunker. They work in the bunker. 59 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,440 And the house is actually not that far from from Moscow beats. In fact, it's just around the corner 60 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:20,040 from Moscow beats is office in Amsterdam. So we had to move all that chunk out. We moved everything 61 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:25,240 out of the castle. We still had stuff from the states. And what happened is it arrived here. 62 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:34,040 And this house is the rooms that we utilize. It's probably not much smaller than or let's say 63 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:40,440 it's probably two thirds of what we utilize in Belgium at the castle. But the house itself is about 64 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:46,840 an a quarter of the size. So that means that you're lacking in storage space. And we had all this 65 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:54,280 stuff that just was kind of stored in cabinets and closets and rooms and whatever. And it's just 66 00:07:54,280 --> 00:08:00,120 it's turned out that we got a shit load of stuff. So more about the stuff in just a second. 67 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:09,480 So Christina and I, I had booked a buddy of mine, yapped the fissor. He has a, he has a beautiful 68 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,760 airplane. He has a twin engine. It's a pipe or Navajo. It's an old old beast. But it does the job 69 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:20,600 perfectly. Cruises about 160 knots. So perfect to leave from Antwerp, which is about 20 minutes from 70 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:26,840 our house. For an hour and 15 minute flight, right to, and by the way, I'm not mentioning on the podcast 71 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:32,520 exactly where it is. We moved because the last thing I want is the Dutch press showing up here, 72 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,360 you know, going around. Because it's the town of small enough for people to figure out where we are. 73 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:42,520 And I just don't, you know, that's one of the reasons we left. So until everything was quieted down, 74 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,840 we'll just leave it in the middle. Although I can tell from all of the well wishes that I've received 75 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,480 from, and it was really beautiful. All these people from the UK welcoming me, leaving comments saying, 76 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:59,400 hey, you know, if you want an Earl Grey in the split, look me up. That's great. And I will take 77 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:04,120 some people up on those offers, believe me. But a lot of people have already kind of figured out 78 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:10,520 where we are. So there's an airport about 15 minutes from our house. It's a small airport. It's a, 79 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:18,280 it's a, you know, one runway. It is a paved runway. So it's not a grass strip, but it's just about 80 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:24,520 a level above a grass strip to be quite honest. And we had announced that we'd be arriving 81 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:30,760 from a different country, which you have to do, because it's not a, it's not an international 82 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:37,320 field. Excuse me. So what the, what the customs do is they send someone out. And they don't 83 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:43,320 actually, they don't even usually send someone out. But in this case, they did. And so the lady asked 84 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,880 for my passport and Christina's passport and stamped it. And we had a nice little chat. Didn't ask 85 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:53,080 anything about the dogs or the cats. I had both dogs and both cats in the plane. And, you know, 86 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,240 so I just kind of left the door closed. I figured, you know, shit, why go through, you know, 87 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:03,720 two hours of paperwork if I don't have to. And besides that, our cats Cindy, Cindy is the, 88 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:09,720 we found him at a, at a gas station in the States when he still lived in New Jersey. 89 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,960 When he was like three weeks old, nurse him to health. And he's become this ferocious, 90 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:19,960 amazingly strong animal. Just beautiful, very sweet, but man, he, I mean, even the vet 91 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:26,680 who does horses is afraid of this cat. And Cindy cannot handle traveling. Oh, man, he just gets so 92 00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:33,160 motion sick. And, you know, so he thinks shit coming out of him from all ends and orifice is 93 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:39,640 really sad. So the plane stunk the high hill. Anyways, I would just left that door closed and 94 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,800 lady, the lady left after stamping our passports. And so I got the dogs out and got the cats. They were 95 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,920 in their nice little baskets. And we had two calves waiting and put the cats in one cabin, 96 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,560 Christina and I and our suitcases and the dogs and the other and drove off to the house here. 97 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:02,280 And where everyone was waiting. And you know, that we had two trucks here. The, the movers were here. 98 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:08,760 And then I saw what Patricia met. You could not walk in this house because of the boxes. It was 99 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:16,040 unbelievable. So the garage, I mean, the garage immediately, we decided was not going to take cars. 100 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,600 And I brought the Audi over since there's still a year on the lease and then I'll, you know, 101 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:27,480 I'll get rid of it after that. That has a great GPS. I love the GPS. It immediately recognizes 102 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,120 the UK and where I am. So I'm really happy with that. So I can focus on driving on the left hand side 103 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:39,080 of the road. Which, by the way, is the correct hand side. And I found out why. Because 104 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:47,320 back in the day when roads were kind of still first invented, I guess around these parts. 105 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:53,560 And you'd be on your horseback. Let's just say, I'm the night in shining armor. The white 106 00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:59,720 night, of course, boogin' along right there on the left hand side. Because if I see all of a sudden 107 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:07,400 on the right hand side, there's the black night coming towards me. I want to draw my sword in my 108 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:13,400 right hand. So it makes a lot of sense to be riding on the left if I'm going to jouse this guy or 109 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,040 chop his head off while he's coming towards me. Unless, of course, I'm left handed, but I guess 110 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:23,080 pretty much in those days, everyone fought with their right hand. So that means that left is the correct 111 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:29,080 side to drive on. I presume. And you know what? It really doesn't matter. It's kind of funky 112 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:34,760 when you're turning corners or you're going around about, or definitely, I find myself waiting 113 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,920 being very cautious and then hammering the accelerator to make sure I get around the roundabout. 114 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:45,480 Because you go around in a different direction, yeah, you go around in a clockwise direction, 115 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,920 instead of counterclockwise. It's just getting used to it. And probably it's going to make me 116 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:53,400 smarter doing this because all the neurons are firing and reconnecting and trying to figure out 117 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:59,240 which way it goes. So I guess that's almost proven to make you smarter. So I'm kind of happy about that. 118 00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:05,560 So we made a very conscious decision. What we already did that when we moved here, we said, 119 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:12,280 you know, guys, we, you know, we're going to get rid of a lot of our stuff. And now we have 120 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:17,480 totally gone all the way and we said, look, we're just going to get rid of all of this stuff. 121 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:24,440 You know, we have too many clothes, just too much shit. And we now have four full boxes 122 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:31,560 that are ready for for charity. And there was just a big charity kind of like a telethon on 123 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,600 last night, which is for the children. They do it every year here in the UK. It goes from, 124 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,360 I saw like 7 p.m. went to 4 o'clock in the morning. It was unbelievable. 125 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:49,640 Excuse me. So we have an address to send stuff. And, you know, we got like Gucci shoes. 126 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,720 And just we're rebooting our life, basically. And I'm so happy for it. 127 00:13:54,680 --> 00:14:00,040 And notice I didn't throw out any of my or recycle or give away my technology bits. We got to keep 128 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:08,120 some of the stuff sane. But, you know, we got chairs and tables and desks and couches and just, 129 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,960 you know, too much. So we're getting rid of all of it. Can't use it. Give it away. 130 00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:17,240 Give it away. Give it away. Now. Oh, by the way, you're listening to the daily source code. 131 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:23,720 It is 930 Saturday evening here in the United Kingdom at Curry Cottage. Let's see, 132 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,200 what else do we have to talk about? And I'm going to walk through the house in a bit and 133 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:34,280 admit it and give you just some of the, some of the highlights of it. And that you hear some of the sounds. 134 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:41,800 Oh, so we got in rather late or rather late. We're on 4 or 5 in the afternoon and, you know, 135 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,720 freaking out about all these boxes. And then we, you know, Patricia and I basically, you know, 136 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:50,040 found our bed between all the boxes, went to sleep, Christina slept in her own room. 137 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:55,320 Any von Patricia Sisters still here helping out. And the next morning, let's say around 10, 10 o'clock, 138 00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:02,280 there's a ring at the doorbell. And it's a gentleman who says, hi, I'm from the, and I can't 139 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:07,080 remember what he said. It must have been the, it sounded like Homeland Security Department. But of 140 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,720 course, it wasn't. And he said, I'm here investigating for illegal animals that you brought into 141 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:18,520 the country. And we're like, huh, illegal animals. And of course, we had all the paperwork, but essentially 142 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:26,040 what happened is the airport where we landed. You know, so I guess someone noticed that we brought 143 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:31,480 all these animals out of the, out of the plane after the customs official had left called the, 144 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,240 and it's a big deal here, because they used to have quarantine for six months. And now you can 145 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,880 get in as long as your pets have been microchipped. They've got a passport. They have their rabies shots. 146 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:45,720 They have their tick and, and, and, and lint worms, uh, uh, uh, inoculations and all that. You've 147 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:53,160 got to have all this document. And so we had all of that. Um, so we had to go through the whole thing, 148 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,800 uh, and exactly what I thought it took about two hours. But the guys were really nice. 149 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,280 Now the guy had to come over with the, uh, with the microchip reader. I guess it was kind of an RFID chip 150 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:07,960 that they shoot into the pets, uh, neck or whatever. And, you know, registers, registers, registers, 151 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,760 everything all checked out. But wow, they don't mess around, man. And it, they used to be that 152 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,920 they would actually dispose of the animal immediately, if they caught it illegally in the country, 153 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,440 because they're definitely afraid. I've been, been that way for hundreds of years, 154 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,600 definitely afraid of rabies because basically you're on an island. And once you get that shit, 155 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,480 you can't get rid of it. Now, remember, they have more problems with agriculture, uh, 156 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:35,080 particularly foot mouth disease, uh, and, uh, and, uh, NBC, uh, mad cow disease, all those kind of stuff 157 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,240 that you just don't want happening on an island, uh, which makes imminent sense. 158 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:47,560 So let me see a couple of the things we had to do to get set up. Um, there was no connectivity. 159 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:55,320 There was no phone line. Um, uh, didn't even really, um, have any TV. There's no, uh, there was no cable. 160 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,800 Uh, cable is not, um, a big thing in the UK. Although it is around, hold on a second. 161 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:08,040 Just wanted to reset my, uh, audio hijack there. Um, so no cable in this area, although I, 162 00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:13,240 case you can't get it if you want. Everyone basically has, uh, satellite TV sky is, uh, 163 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:18,360 is the big, uh, the big satellite provider. Except just recently, they came out with this new thing 164 00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:24,360 called free view, which is free to air digital television. Let me see if I can explain this. 165 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:30,520 And so essentially, they still, um, you know, use areas and tennis and those one here, uh, 166 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:35,320 not on the roof, but uh, in the attic. Uh, so it gets a good enough signal to receive BBC 167 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:41,240 1 and BBC 2. And I think you can get Channel 4. There are three commercial stations, 168 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:48,120 ITV, Channel 4, and, uh, Channel 5. Um, and if you're in the right area in your antennas, 169 00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:53,240 pointing the right direction, you can pick that up. What this free view is, and this is really cool. 170 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:58,280 It's, uh, basically you can buy a box, you buy it one, one off box for $40. 171 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:04,680 And you hook it up to your existing antenna. And what it does is it then goes and brings in 172 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:10,200 digital signal, which are being broadcast by the same TV transmitters that are broadcasting the 173 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:16,040 analog signal. Of course, only now you're talking 60 channels that are coming in free to air coming 174 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:23,000 right into this digital box. It's a great digital picture, great digital sound quality. And the only 175 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,400 things that you don't get, like the porn channel, you have to pay for extra. If you want an 176 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:33,720 MTV, it has to pay for that extra. If you want the, uh, Turner classic movies, you should pay extra 177 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,640 for that. But that's about it. All the rest is already on there. They've got sports. They got, 178 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:44,840 oh, there's no CNN, but, all right. So we've got, uh, BBC News 24. We've got Sky News. We've got, 179 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,720 uh, two other news channels. Because it's digital, there's that they even have a special setting 180 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:55,960 where you click it, and then it shows you four, um, news broadcasts at the simultaneously, 181 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,440 with the sound and the picture muted, except for the one you have highlighted. I mean, just amazing 182 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,760 shit. And then if you want to, you know, if you want to unlock any of these channels, it's just a phone 183 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:10,520 call. And then the, you know, given their, essentially your device is, uh, address number or whatever, 184 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:15,720 you know, like it's almost like a MAC address on, uh, on an Ethernet card. And, uh, and it'll open 185 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,800 it up. And you just take by credit card, every one of pay. And if you stop paying, it won't, uh, give 186 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:26,440 you that channel. So totally amazing. It really blew me away because, you know, there's no satellite 187 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:31,800 dish to put up. There's no, yeah, just none of that stuff. It's seem like there's so incredible 188 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,760 easy and so plug and play. It's just a slim little device that sits on the top. And it's like 189 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:42,920 antenna in antenna out. Power, boom, it's got a remote, and it works unbelievable. And have to say 190 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,240 the same for British telecom for the, for the phone system. We didn't have a, well, I thought we had a 191 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:52,520 phone line. I thought we had our phone number, although the previous, uh, tenant had basically 192 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,480 moved that number with them when they left. So I had to go to the neighbors, nice neighbors, 193 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:04,200 by the way, Jimmy, my neighbor here, he was a retired accountant. And, um, and so I used this phone 194 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:09,000 I called him and within, you know, I got through, I got to a real-life person with only had to go 195 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:15,080 through 10 menus, which is not bad. Um, and, you know, I explained the situation within 15 minutes, 196 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:21,800 our phone line was connected. It was rockin' ready to go. Um, couldn't order the, uh, VT broad 197 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:27,080 band just yet because after waiting till Monday to all the billing system cycle through. Um, so I 198 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:32,920 broke out the airport extreme, uh, got myself a dial up account, um, and just plug it into the wall, 199 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:39,560 which means I can basically, um, if no one's using the phone, uh, Christine and I can get online 200 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:45,000 do a little bit of email. I let my mail run pretty much for about two hours, uh, 201 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,480 last night just to get all the, uh, all the spam and filters and everything. 202 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:56,520 I can see that there's probably about 300 megs worth of audio comments that people have sent me, 203 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,800 um, that of course I couldn't download via telephone while I could, but I decided not to. 204 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,720 So when this is done, I'm going to go into town. It's just five minutes drive. I can actually stay 205 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:12,280 in the car to pick up the Wi-Fi, uh, and I should be able to, um, uh, upload, uh, from the car later on tonight. 206 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:17,720 So I'll probably go around 10 30 11 o'clock. Um, so I was really pleased with the phone. 207 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:24,280 And it's just all these options and it's, uh, you know, it's advanced, man. They really got their 208 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,360 technology down here. In fact, now I'm going for the cell phones. And of course, you need, 209 00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:33,320 and unless you want to do a, a pay as you go and I'd rather just pay on a monthly contract, uh, we, 210 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,560 you know, our bank is still, uh, we got a retail bank here. So we're just getting an account open there. 211 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:44,760 Well, we need all that stuff to, um, to get the cell phones, but they've got, um, uh, third generation 212 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:51,240 not GPRS, but actually UMTS with voter phone live, uh, and, you know, you pay nothing between 213 00:21:51,240 --> 00:22:01,560 handsets if you're on the same network. Excuse me. Damn. That's better. Um, but, uh, you can do 214 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:06,120 a video chat right from your mobile. And it really works. So, uh, I'm going to get those. 215 00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:11,320 It's going to get three handsets for sure so that we can all be very cool together. Uh, the 216 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:16,840 same time I'm getting the BT broadband, which gives you, uh, voice over IP phone line in addition to 217 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:23,160 the one you already have, uh, I'm vibing, man. Just totally love the technology they've got going on 218 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:28,120 here. And it's all in English, by the way. In case you hadn't noticed. So, I don't know, is this, 219 00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:32,600 uh, I wonder how this microphone sounds. I, it sounds like I'm probably getting a more intimate 220 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,280 feel than, uh, well, actually I'm going to switch over. Let's, let's listen to the 221 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:43,960 other mic for a second. Hold on. Okay. So, this is, uh, the one that you used to, 222 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,200 this is the love microphone. I'm going to use that to actually, why don't we do that now 223 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:53,000 since I'm wearing it? Uh, what do we have? 22 minutes. Damn, I've been yapping away. 224 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:59,720 So, we'll just, uh, do a quick little, uh, tour. My, um, study overlooks the front of the house. 225 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:07,320 Lucy, if I open up the window, is any? No, wind it all tonight. It was kind of stormy. 226 00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:13,400 It was a bit stormy last night and it snowed a little bit. 227 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:21,640 So, let me just, let's go out here. So, this is, um, the hallway of the top. This is, uh, 228 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,320 our bedroom. You can hear the acoustics a little bit. Let's see, Christina's probably in her room. 229 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:36,920 No, I guess she's not, let me see. Nope. So, walk downstairs. 230 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,120 Christina's got the TV crank and that's what's going on. 231 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:56,600 Hello. I'm recording. I'm recording for the show. I'm recording for the show. I'm recording for the show 232 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:03,320 doing a tour of the house. What's this? Is it loud enough? We're all dead. 233 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:11,560 Is it loud enough? What is this? Is this, like idols? 234 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,520 Each, each jewelry member has several legs. 235 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:28,040 Oh, okay. All right. Okay. And now let's go out to the good show. Very good show. 236 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,680 Okay. Good. I'm just going to walk around to a little tour. 237 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:38,840 Oh, Sharon looks great. Excellent. Okay. New reality show on here. 238 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,480 So, this is the central hall. The dining room to your left. 239 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:50,200 Study right ahead. That says to be the TV hangout. Now we're in the kitchen. Kitchen is absolutely 240 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:55,960 phenomenal. Very happy with this kitchen. You know what? I'll just grab a coat and we'll go out for a 241 00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:04,440 quick walk. Hold on a second. Okay. Here we go. 242 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:21,000 Okay. We'll do as we'll go out the back way. Okay. What I maybe I should put the mic 243 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:30,120 on the outside of the cup will be better. Okay. All right. This is the back. 244 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:38,040 Now what I'll do is I'm going to walk all the way out the back yard. 245 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:45,880 Let's see if we can pick up some cool sounds from what they call the downs. The downs is essentially 246 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:54,280 about 50 miles of land between here and the coast that is nature. 247 00:25:54,440 --> 00:26:11,800 Okay. Some ramen at the gate. I hear a little bit there. Someone's got a 248 00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:21,080 kind of machine running. Okay. Now we're walking back towards the house. It actually looks pretty 249 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:31,560 nice. I haven't seen it in the dark. Looks cozy. Go around the side. Out to the front. 250 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:39,320 And then from the front back in. It's dark here. 251 00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:49,080 Mind your step. I should have a life clicking on here. Yeah. There we go. Okay. 252 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:59,800 Right. So now I'm at the garage. Here's the Audi walking down the driveway. It's a nice 253 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:16,920 cold sack with the end of it. Here a plane in the distance. Why not? Nothing with that plane. 254 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,720 And it's cold. Just about freezing point. 255 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:29,080 Okay. Let's go back in. Kind of get my bearings here myself. 256 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,520 So obviously we're not going to be doing a regular source code today where 257 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:43,720 play all kinds of cool clips and comments. That door's locked. But we will do that starting Monday. 258 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:50,440 And hopefully I'll have some kind of real connectivity here in midweek or maybe the end of the week. 259 00:27:51,960 --> 00:28:03,880 Back in. Yeah. Okay. Reposition the mic. Go V. 260 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:19,640 Got really cold out. That's one thing. The weather is of course not going to be any better. 261 00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:25,880 And then Belgium. But still I do get the plug in the phone line here. It's like 262 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:38,040 going online if I want to. Cool. Okay. I have the feeling that the 263 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:44,280 that it's somehow brighter. I don't know what it is. Well actually it probably is because we're 264 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:50,840 different altitude. There's actually hills, foot hills. You know, terrain here in the UK is 265 00:28:50,840 --> 00:29:01,400 opposed to Holland, which is not only flat, but about 10 feet under sea level. Okay. Back up I presume 266 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:10,280 the mic picked that up all the way through. Let me just switch microphones. There we go. 267 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:22,840 Turn that one off. Perfect. So. All righty. So we're, what are we? 29 minutes into it. By the way, 268 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:31,800 even though I'm pancing, Don, you'll know, still haven't smoked. Yeah. Don has really helped me 269 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:38,040 with that. At least tobacco. And quite honestly I haven't smoked anything. I've only been 270 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:42,520 doing one split for day, just at night. Around this, this is about my time, you know, 10 minutes 271 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:49,000 to 10. So I'm pretty proud of myself, whereas, oh, that's been times in my life where I'd wake up at 272 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:55,480 you know, seven o'clock and have a nice little joint there with tobacco and with weeds. So I'm 273 00:29:55,480 --> 00:30:03,000 really trying to work on my health. By the time you hear me this time next year won't be pancing as 274 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:10,600 okay. Let me see. What else do we have going on? The town is great. It's great being unknown. 275 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:19,720 It is absolutely fantastic because I can really be myself without being self conscious of people knowing, 276 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,760 you know, who I am, what I'm doing or, you know, if I make a joke, then people just take me at 277 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:30,360 phase value, not because I'm some, you know, some guy from TV. Now that by the way, may change 278 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:36,840 slightly as Thursday, you're not going to believe this. They called the BBC, we're freaking out. 279 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:41,400 So they wanted to, I told you the tape to got messed up of what they did at the castle. 280 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:47,000 So they then they wanted to do it at our place on Friday. Yesterday and I said, you know, 281 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:52,040 no way. It just can't be done. You know, we're too busy. Patricia's going to kill me. 282 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:57,560 Even if you don't show up, it's just too much moving going on. And they want to know if I 283 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,760 could come into London. I said, no, absolutely not. I can't come into London. 284 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,840 You know, you guys have to come here. So we kind of had it all set up for Friday. And then the 285 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:12,280 technicians at the BBC figured out how to get the the tapes working again. So I guess they can 286 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:18,120 be able to edit a piece after all. And it'll be on on the BBC on BBC 2 on the culture show. 287 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:25,800 This coming Thursday at 7 30 local time. And you can watch an archive of the show on 288 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:35,240 on the website at cbc.co.uk slash culture show. I believe I'll put a link up to it. 289 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:41,080 And I guess now that we have such good digital reception, I could probably get one of those 290 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,960 digital video recorders and record an impact myself. So yeah, I'll see if I can do that. Otherwise, 291 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,640 I'm sure someone will record it for us. And hopefully it'll turn out okay. 292 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:58,120 Hey, listen, I've been doing this for about 31 minutes now. So I was not to completely bore you out of 293 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:04,600 your skull. Well, I know we call it a day.
