2:00

on, I thought it was bugs. And finally there

2:02

was a newspaper story where I went, oh my

2:04

goodness, that's the solution to a problem

2:06

I've been having for a long time. Turns out,

2:08

a woman was having this problem with her husband's

2:10

t-shirts. And so she posted it

2:12

on a website and it's

2:14

like, it's either the belt or the buckle

2:16

or the very hard little bit of fabric

2:18

on your jeans and it wears these tiny

2:20

holes or a seat belt and the solution.

2:23

And I think I'm just going to go

2:25

with buying new t-shirts on a regular basis.

2:27

A slight tuck, tuck the t-shirt into your pants.

2:29

I don't know that I can go

2:32

that far. No, no, the fault. You could do a

2:34

French tuck, you know, that little half tuck thing. The

2:36

little half that's very... They did suggest that. Yeah, you

2:38

could do that. Yeah. You could, are you sure it's

2:40

not little tiny, tiny moths? Yeah, all you would say,

2:42

you're standing too close to the... I'm pretty sure it's

2:45

little tiny moths. No, it's generally the same place in

2:47

all the t-shirts and... You're not standing

2:49

too close to the cheese, I don't? Oh, actually, when I drive, when

2:52

I drive, what I do now is I

2:54

pull my t-shirt up to just below my

2:56

nipples so it doesn't go between the seat

2:58

belt and the... Nice. Okay. Yeah. All right.

3:01

So, don't be rocking that

3:03

look and then saying, could you help me wash

3:05

my armpit please? That would not be a good

3:07

combo. You've got to be careful when you get

3:09

out of the car that you've adjusted. That you've

3:11

pulled it back down again. Although, you know, it's

3:13

a summer... I reckon it could be the summer

3:16

of the mail crop top. I don't

3:18

mind. I'll rock it. A little

3:20

porch. Okay. You can

3:23

just trim all your t-shirts above the holy bits

3:25

and they've got a little wardrobe set to go.

3:28

There you are. But you'd need someone to put

3:30

sunscreen on around the back. Yes,

3:32

you still need that. Oh, no, you can reach the

3:34

lower back. I'm doing it now. Yeah, I'm touching myself

3:36

just in the lower back. Well, if you can reach

3:38

your lower back, I don't know why you can't reach

3:40

inside to your armpit. You make the noise. At the

3:42

same time, like a

3:46

monkey. You can. Anyway,

3:48

can we move... Can we... Let's go and do... Yeah, let's move

3:51

on to something more hygienic. I'd like you to

3:53

go into outer space because I love this story. We

3:56

have a temporary mini moon in our

3:59

galaxy. It's an asteroid and

4:01

apparently just don't freak out because this

4:03

has been happening forever but we've just

4:05

got the ability to see

4:07

things that are this small. So it's an asteroid

4:09

about the size of a bus and

4:12

it whizzed by Earth last Sunday

4:14

and got trapped by our gravity

4:16

and it's apparently going to hang

4:19

about in our orbit for two

4:21

months of total off on

4:23

November the 25th. It might come back around

4:25

2055 if many of us are... I

4:30

can hardly wait. But

4:32

I just... I just didn't

4:34

think I needed to go on. No,

4:36

I find it calming to think what

4:39

we're doing on the planet is so anxiety

4:42

inducing. You just look up and you go,

4:44

oh, there's stuff happening up there and it's

4:46

very sweet and there's just a second moon

4:48

and it's not going to do a second

4:50

gravitational pull. It's not like the tides are

4:52

going to be doubled or anything. It's just

4:54

like a mini-mead. It's just come to hang

4:56

out for a little while and then it'll

4:58

total off again. I like it. Well,

5:00

the weird thing about that is I was thinking I

5:02

didn't need anything more anxiety inducing than what was happening here

5:05

to know that there's things happening in space that are

5:07

now... I was anxious about it

5:09

and then I hadn't even contemplated the change in

5:11

tides and various other bits and pieces and

5:14

they're weirdly specific. 57 days it's going to

5:16

hang around up there. Yeah, I don't know how they know that. If

5:19

it had come just a little bit closer,

5:21

like a school bus sized asteroid and it

5:23

had got into the Earth's gravitational pull and

5:25

hit the Earth, cataclysm.

5:28

Yes, but no, but it didn't

5:30

and it won't and we know that and we can

5:32

see them now. So sorry, I've

5:34

made you anxious. Can I cheer

5:36

you up? Shall we all move

5:38

to Conception Bay South in Newfoundland

5:40

where they... No, because now I'm

5:42

anxious that a goat has run

5:44

more half marathons than I ever

5:46

will. This is

5:48

the goat, Miss Joshua, who saw

5:50

some runners going past the store where he works.

5:52

Well, where he's stationed. I don't know if he

5:54

works there. I don't know if he's paid. Taylor's

5:57

pumpkin patch and joined in the half marathon and

5:59

got a meal. I

8:00

love what you have in here and you're gonna

8:02

have an awesome day. So they're looking for Well,

8:05

it's just general security. I think

8:08

and and all kinds of all packs

8:10

all theme packs in America Yeah,

8:14

I like the French ease I went to the

8:16

Asterix world and to Euro Disney and at both

8:18

of them You can have a lovely cold glass

8:20

of wine while you're standing in the queue Sophisticated

8:23

that's a nice you don't want to hear too many as

8:25

you go on the roller coaster But you know

8:28

sophisticated but there was also footage of someone

8:30

trying to smuggle there clearly

8:32

much older child in in a little

8:34

pram and various people standing around going

8:36

that's never gonna work I Really

8:38

pretty good at this. I could fit in a

8:40

stroller. I've never thought of doing this but you

8:42

could Jeremy could just push

8:44

me through I didn't want to

8:46

say but I tell you what if you're up for

8:49

a challenge. Yeah, it's Yeah

8:54

You believe anything that you don't want just out on the footpath

8:57

And the hope that someone will take it Yes

9:00

My favorite time of year is the inorganic

9:03

rubbish collection We all everybody puts your stuff

9:05

out and you and you hope to heavens

9:07

that somebody will take your stuff before the

9:09

truck comes Cuz that is a it's an

9:11

affirmation of your good taste I'll

9:15

have that couch. Yeah, it's a circular economy. We

9:17

put stuff out people take it We go to

9:19

what they're putting out and we take that and

9:21

the next time it happens all that stuff that

9:24

we took the previous Time we put back out

9:26

and someone else takes that and the cycle goes

9:28

on and on a woman in the UK was

9:30

fine 500 pounds for fly

9:32

tipping she had an IKEA cabinet She

9:34

put it out on the pavement hoping that someone would

9:36

take it. No one did and they gave her a

9:39

little fine It's

9:41

not what it's called flight. Yeah, I had

9:44

to like to make that yeah This is

9:46

what they're gonna do with anything because you've

9:48

tipped it out on the fly. Okay. Yeah

9:52

An entire fridge outside my house once I thought

9:54

that was slightly impractical But

9:57

an IKEA cabinet is great it saves you the bother of

9:59

going to IKEA and never being able to get out of

10:01

the store. That's how they're designed. You've

10:03

got a time, I see a lot of mattresses

10:05

and couches and you think don't put them out just before

10:07

it rains. No one's going to want to come and pick

10:09

up your soggy old couch. We get a lot of it

10:12

on my little road, actually. We're slightly rural and so people

10:14

think, what an excellent place to tip rubbish. Oh,

10:16

no, I don't like that. Full credit to the council. There's

10:18

a number you can rank and they'll come around and they

10:20

will take it away. But the

10:22

easier thing to do, put it on Facebook Marketplace

10:24

and you can guarantee someone is going to want

10:27

to come around and collect it. You can't leave

10:29

it on the thing. There it is. Take it

10:31

away. There are whole towns in

10:33

Spain. My cousin lives in a little village

10:35

in Spain. Once a month, everybody puts the

10:37

stuff they don't want out on the street

10:39

and everybody swaps stuff around. So you go

10:41

to your neighbours and have lunch at some

10:43

point and they're having it at the table

10:45

that you put out the week before. It's

10:47

a beautiful thing. Circular

10:50

economy. That's the world I want to live in.

10:52

Yes. I mean, it'll all come crashing to an end

10:54

when that asteroid loses its gravitational pull and plunges into,

10:56

I don't know, New Mexico or something. I'm hardly trying

10:58

to cheer you up with that. Right.

11:00

I mean it. What if I put out my T-shirts

11:02

with holes in them? If anyone wants those. You

11:05

could do hand-crafty done. You could do

11:07

something interesting. Put a little patch on

11:09

there. Put a little applique. Do that.

11:11

Do some quilting. It'll go wild

11:14

right out. It'll go viral. Thank

11:17

you both, Torada and Michelle A. Court.

11:19

Thanks, everyone, for your company this Friday.

11:21

And for this week.
