#7 Bringing home the bacon

The fire is pretty good today, mate. Roaring is it going to set fire to the camera? The camera on fire, then I think we're all right. We're just starting recording a few on camera and see how it goes. Probably put these out on YouTube or something. So people want to see us chatting and engaging. They can do for some. People just want to listen. Some like to see more visual people, so we'll see how it goes. You won't get the benefit of my enormous guns if you're not on my pathetic guns, but my shirt. If you want to see my shirt, then you need to go over to YouTube. So there'll be men on fire on YouTube eventually, I'll get that set up. Not now, when they're listening to this. Yeah. By the time you listen to this, these guns will be viral. Yeah, I think they've got infection, to be fair.  What are we talking about today, mate? So what's this? Number seven, I think. On fire? Number seven. So, yeah, we're getting into our stride a little bit, I think. And you had put forward to me the title of bringing Home the Bacon. Bringing Home the Bacon, which made instantly two things popped into my head, probably neither of which to do with what you were saying. The first one, and it's a bit of a bone, why on the Men on Fire visual that we've got, does it make you look all lovely and handsome and my face look all scrunched up like some sort of deformed Kevin Baker? That was the better picture. That's the better picture. I mean, I've got mates that are ruthless and that one of them has said that my face is like a pork scratching. It's 90% gristle, but that just in case you're wondering if you haven't seen the YouTube, that isn't my face. All right, with all this sort of lines in it and curves is awful state of me on that. So we need to change. You look ruggedly handsome. I don't know, it looks like you could like no, you can't change it now. You change it and you mess with the whole algorithm. It looks like nothing would grow. You did approve it.  I didn't pay once. It. And the other thing with bacon, which we were talking about is I find that even with barbecue and with cooking and stuff, sometimes you can cook it to temperature or as it's supposed to be in the restaurant and still not like it. And what do you do with bacon? Do you cook to temperature? Because I need mine burnt and crispy. No, bacon is so thin, you can't really cook its temperature right. You cook it to how crispy you like it. So really, it takes a few minutes to crisp up either side. There's nothing worse than soggy bacon, though, is there? Exactly. But the level of crispness, there's an art in the level of Christmas, christmas crispy, July. There's an art in the level of crispness that you want and that's personal taste. Some people like it burnt to fuck, others like  others like it just right. You can't say fuck. The right level of crispness for me is just perfectly browning. So you bite into it, not so it's burnt. Okay, yeah, a little bit crunchy, but. Yeah, because I think we were cooking bacon a while back. I was doing a session with the young people and you said, all that bacon is nearly ready. And I was like, oh, see, to me it's not, but he is the expert. But you're saying when it comes to bacon, you are your own expert. Yeah, like a lot of things,  you like it how you like it, and that's okay. But I've got a feeling that given that this podcast is not about it, a, my deformed scrunchie face, or B really barbecue, you probably meant something else by bringing home the bacon. What did you want to talk about today? Yeah.  Money.  Bacon. Money. Bacon. Wonder where that comes from. Why is it called bacon? Bringing home the bacon? I don't know. Is it called that or is that just me? No. Yeah,  right in I've heard of it before. Bring home the bacon. Yeah. Money is great. It's amazing when you got it. When you haven't, it's pretty shit, really.  Does it make you happy? Does it make you stressed? I know that I feel quite a lot of re
