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.
