Brady OX Hello and welcome to podcast number 45 from your important broadcast. 45 is an interesting number isn't it? It is the 45 sound. The 45, like the 45th present of the United States. The best of all. Kind of, oh hang on, no, it's the worst, isn't it? Yeah, the worst. My far the worst. Very worst. Very worst. It's the very worst possible. Very, very worst. Dreadful

Oh, he's

dreadful. Oh, he's dreadful. The connotations of this number have now been destroyed by the actions of one simple man. Easy. And I use the word simple, advisedly. You know, he's got good banter, though.

Oh, great banter.

You can't take away the man's ability to have a quip.

Listen, if there's one place he belongs, it's in the blue boar and bilirickey.

Yeah, he does.

Propping up the bar on a Thursday night, telling people how great he is.

Giving people the wrong answers to the quiz machines.

I hate those quiz machines.

Why?

I remember being young and we would play them. You'd go to the pub to have, you know, a conversation with close friends. And you end up playing deal or no deal? Yeah, exactly. It started getting it wrong. So anyone who got to have a quid? We've got a quid in. I was like, can we not just go and drink ourselves blind? Well, it's a slippery slope.

I mean, they've got this, you know, the scandal about fixed odds betting, you know, and I was listening to a sister station just the other day, and a gentleman talking about all the money that he'd lost in one week on those crazy things. And I imagine for you, it's like, you know, you have a long night there, and you have a few pints, and before you know it you're four pounds down you know how time and none the wiser i'm not putting money in those things not anymore

no no and you have a few pints and before you know it you're four pounds down you know how the wiser i'm not putting money in those things not anymore not not after the intervention

but for you it's a case of arrogance rather than anything because you think you know it all yeah i

think the machine's wrong you see the quiz machine and you're like well you know you do you know you're

silly robot got no edmund's smug face looking at me. You know they're not robots, though, right?

They're little robots, yeah, they're asking me questions. Because you think, yeah, you think that they're robots that get there on their own. Yeah. Infiltrate society. And they ask you questions. And they ask you questions and punish you for incorrect answers. Yeah, and they live off coin. Yeah, they live off copper. Yeah, that's how they eat.

None of this is true.

We should crack on with the podcast, Steve. If we must. What is on it today? Well, I suppose there's an element of betrayal on it today. There is as an element of betrayal. Or not betrayal. Thoughtlessness. What are other words that I could use to describe? Thoughtlessness.

Selfishness.
