TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

So alive. Live. Hi, everyone and welcome to the Nodionos podcast. It's Nodionos podcast and it's also by Northern nerds.

I am on your horse, Sam. And I am a professional YouTuber now. Oh my gosh. I had to get that out here.

So yes, I am the host Paul. And we are joined by a host full podcast night with lots of different guests and personalities. I'll apologize for them all before we start as well. So we've got the mic and basically we don't know what welcome already is called Grimm.

I'm a person. He's a little boy. Yes, we've got Kelly who hasn't slept in this episode. So she is doing well and might even say little babies pop up from time to time.

And we can hear as well after having the technical issues before the look on your pro husband's face blessing. And we have the amazing sun year tonight. And I can say the last time Sonia was on was the Simpsons episode. Was that right?

Yeah. Yes. Given the last round you came on me. I'm going to change this quick.

Well, yes. And we have the marvellous mercurial Michaela who was returned after quite a high year, shall we say? I can't remember the last time you were on Michaela. Fereal killers.

Seal killers are. All right. But enough though, that's one of the ones we have been restricted on on YouTube because the content matter we've talked about that to you. Oh, right.

It's OK. Yes. You really know what it is. Lovely.

There's no death in Buffy whatsoever. Oh, yes. Wait. Oh.

I'm happy to announce as well. We have got past the 10 second marks. So Kelly, please let it go. Oh, yeah, fuckers.

It's the news. You could see the tension bill note there. So yes. Oh, my God.

So I just want to say a big thank you to everyone in the community and everyone like in the chat. I know you've been talking away. And as you've probably seen, there's a few new nifty gadgets and new few nifty things we can do now that we have passed the rigorous and the test that YouTube put forth. And do you know what I'm quite surprised at all about you guys?

How quickly we did it? Yeah, it was really quick. I'm not surprised because I feel like the community's like really like steadfast under this all loyal. But I think once that number was there, people were like, right, what do we need to do?

They all. It's nice to actually like listen, what to do with things like that's not just like, oh, that's what the means. Let's let's do the means. What more are the means?

I promise. Yeah. What more are the means? I'm not going to be a meme.

Yes. But I do have to say a big thank you to Graham and Budwell as well. I do think like the Star Treking one has been a huge success. And I say it keeps on going strength from strength.

So well done, you saw Trek and nerds. I checked on Friday and we've had at least 10 views, which I think is the balance. Yes. I think you know it's.

And that was all Americans as well. So you do well with it. Americans in that. Do I ask?

It's just dead. Americans. My favorite. Like some of you.

Oh, I'll just not say that. Sam's getting excited now because people can actually pay money to have really weird things and see and said now. So Christoph, it's just a two pound to see a testicles. Oh, OK.

Oh, my God. I just wanted to say that's one of the testicles. Or does he want to like testicles? I think the second one, given there's a gap in the middle.

So I thought I will bond with the testicles. But I love to find an eye because I'm below Kelly. I'm technically like her testicles. No worries.

I may be in the room. For me. I'm in the hall. Oh, really?

Yeah. Oh, no. I'm in the room. Yeah, so he's on the screen.

He's not on the zoom for the video. But yes. It's like, what is it? Blackie, Blanco something.

It's like a little square. I think I'm tired now. But yeah, trying to get all this things so I don't work out what things. But yes, so we are here to discuss a very special topic.

Like I say, I think when we put this topic down for a suggestion what people want to come and talk about, there's been two topics. I've seen people actually argue over and want to come on. This was one and the Universal Monsters was another. Wow, that was it.

Yeah. Yeah. I thought we got actually physically wrong off someone. Yes.

And I'm not inviting them on with something. Yes. But that's one that's a whole different project for Sammy to start as well. So that will be kicking off next week, isn't it?

Is it next week? Yes. Next week. It's all kicking off.

But it's a little bit about it. Yes, we're going to be doing a little bit. What's it called? I can never remember it.

You know what? I only just remembered the name of the Game of Thrones one on the last episode that I did last week. So great stuff. It's a, now you have no talks monsters.

Hollywood monsters and real life monsters. And we're kicking it off with the most favorite is the favorite monsters, a creature from the Black Lagoon. Yes. And I will have the fabulous Peaches and Dan joining us for the first episode.

So it's going to be a lot of fun. We've got, I've got a list as long as we arm at the minute. I've only given Paul six, but I have such a list. So this could be something I could go on for a bit.

And it started all kicks off next week. Yes. So more work for me. Yay.

Well, talking for me. Yay. So yes, I know some of you know me deserve it and says, oh, you guys, but we haven't have a long one. But I was going to ask like say, how is everyone like generally?

I don't care what you've been watching. I'll put a raise or okay. Oh, it's just like mucus at the minute. So I do apologise.

I've got my snot rod and I'm like, brrgh. Yeah, allergies and shit. So that's how my week's meeting. That's why I look like a friend.

Red Nose fucking reindeer right now. That's fine. We'll see what works. I still remember the 100 episode when we were sitting there and we were expecting you to give birth live on the show.

Have you already done that? Yes, yes. He's very much here. I can hear him crying in my boobs and twitching.

It's all about that. Nice. Let's see. Let's see how you're making it.

Are you okay? Yeah, all good. Really, dull work, life balance. But to be fair though, you have had some excitement since we last seen you as well.

You did have a little kind of little party, didn't you? Yeah, I got married. Congratulations. Yay.

Did I do it? Yeah, what? Bring on your finger. Did that not give it away?

Yeah, I was going to write my name and then I was like, there, I'm not ready yet. She still hasn't changed her name on Facebook. I've noticed that she's not giving that up yet. It's not getting changed though.

Alright. She's still fighting. I am changing my name. Just not because the kind of weather is known.

She has a name. We don't know darling. I don't mind if it's not just called on the toilet. Well, my copy.

I've had my enemies. You can't just told it you go into that. Yes. And how are you, Sonia?

Are you okay? Really, really crap. I'm good. I don't really mean it, but that as far as I'm looking to go.

Fair beans. Have you been streaming anything fun lately? I played a few free to play horror games on Friday and one of them was about a chat room which was haunted by ghosts. Alright.

I'm actually hilarious, but really fun to play as well. Alright. I'm brilliant. We know what you've been up to.

We kind of get rid of your degree. I'm brilliant. I'm just come off as well doing a 24 hour live stream of playing Lord's of Games and doing random shit. Do you want to tell everyone how much there is for each other?

We raised for my GDF and Beth who passed away two weeks ago. It's a two weeks, 20 hour away. Yeah. We raised for the hospice that was looking after the same Benedict's hospice in Sumblin.

We raised over a thousand pounds, which is amazing. So thank you. Thank you. Everyone who is watching this from the idiot north, who donated.

Everyone was joined the Twitch. It was oddly, it was oddly, it feels a bit weird. Like we raised that money and then doing it and then realizing it wasn't that difficult. Like saying a weight was difficult, but essentially it was basically just messing around with my best mate but like a fool.

I was like, this is amazing. This is really fun, but it's more that idea of the hospice of really happy videos. And I think that's important. And I think that's important.

And it's really important. I think that's really important for you. You can do something at a time when you feel totally powerless in the end. Oh, well done.

So, Sunny, get away. Oh, yeah. Everything does this in today's episode is our opinions. It's our opinions alone.

If you would like to discuss anything from today's episode, please come and join us in the Facebook group where we can have an all discussion. We won't have this anyone coming for us in town. It's our opinions are on. We can not be greeted as a Korean fandom.

So let's keep it fun. Give a kind and keep the toxic behaviour out of notice. Well done. And in the same breath, you dick.

I saw you. You feel that, Kelly? Did you feel that? Oh, yeah.

That was his first time seeing the disclaimer as a professional. Yeah. This is the person. Sorry.

This is the voice of the person who's been on the BBC and featured in the Chronicle. Oh, my God. When the person bought past as a chronic, I thought he was a pedophile. It was like.

I see that. It's in the word. No. No.

Yes. And Sammy was talking to me. I was like, get him away from the kids. Oh, yeah.

And you see the robots. But yes. So we have asked everyone to come on tonight and share their thoughts and failings about a certain teenager who just still happened to be a vampire slayer. Now, what a premise for a TV, you sure guys.

And we did go on a journey. Like Sammy said before we gone on, there was eight seasons. Is that right? Eight seasons of Buffy?

Yeah. And how many seasons of age was it four or five of a angel? No. I got canceled.

It was the same as the same time as Buffy, because they're from all these coincided. Yeah. I think it was season three left Buffy and then it did one of the angel one of Buffy. Yeah.

Yeah. Definitely got canceled after four seasons. I quite like the end of it. We'll come to that as well.

So we use, did you use get, I know it's going to be like a hard question to ask. Did you use get into Buffy when it first came out or did you come to it late? Well, what a Sunday first actually. I can't really tell you that.

Yes. Yes. I absolutely got into it as it aired on BBC two and I was going to school and talk about how good this new show was. And yeah, I was hooked in the beginning.

Unfortunately, mid way switched to Sky, I think. I did. Couldn't watch it anymore because I wasn't rich enough to have Sky. Wait, but there's going to be terrestrial TV people as well.

Like what's it on BBC two? I was the same. I used to get some of it tape it and then I actually never taped it and they gave it to me so I could watch it. I was just like.

So you were the first round kids to watch it then, Sonia. So you got the first year. So what drawn it to you? Like what was it that drew you to the show?

For me, it just looked different. I can't remember if it was out at the same time, but I recall watching charmed as well. Right. It was the same thing.

It was just something that was different. Like I grew up with my parents watching all the Star Trek. So I already like different things, things like fast game. I didn't really like standard drama.

And this looked like teenage drama, but it was different. It was this premise of the demons and there's monsters. And I was just like, this looks so interesting. I think my dad as well was like, oh, this looks pretty good.

So I knew you should check it out. And I watched it and I was just hooked instantly. So what were you, Kelly? Well, it's a little bit of a story to this.

As with you, I wouldn't expect anything. I love Kelly so much. I was hooked from the film. Came out in 1992.

That just went out and I rented it from the sound and vision bit in the library with my mum. Where you'll get cassette tapes, VHS and all this sort of stuff. And I was like, I was all dogs, I love that. And she was like, oh, what about this?

I'm eight, fifteen. It's got like bloody Kirsty Swanson with her tits right up here. And look, Perry, given up there. On the front.

And she was like, you like vampires and stuff. Yeah. And I was like, yeah, I swear to God, I watched this film to the point where the VHS was like creaking because it had been fucking watched that much. I absolutely loved it.

And then I remember my mum actually ordered the VHS from the H&V because it was really difficult to get hold of and it was gifted to me for Christmas. So it was one of my favourite films. And I remember talking to my sister and she was saying, oh, they're making it into a series. I was just like, fuck the fuck off.

So when it was coming on, I was just like, oh my God, I need to watch this shit. And it was just like, all supernatural stuff, which I was really into. Yeah, I was in the charm as well. So it was just another sort of like, oh!

And it was just like, what appealed to me the most was the relatable characters and stuff. There were just people. There were just humans. You know, there were just like people that you would go to school with and stuff.

And just like, so I knew it was the case of like, I'd watch it on the night and then the next morning. I went to form room with my two other mates and my Matthews and Laura Kelly. And we'd do like a post-mortem of the show the previous, and so we'd go in at eight o'clock. So like chat about the episode of Buffy and it was a time where, like, where like spoilers were like non-existent.

Yes, and if you missed it you were fucked. So it was more about putting demand and downloading. There was no torrents or streaming back then. There was the books that accompanied it which I used to every week go to hills with my pocket money and I bought the watchers guide and we found out that Buffy killed Angel before it actually happened and we were like no.

That was my first experience of like the spoiler culture and I didn't myself. You started to be cancelled now, Kelly. That's your fault. Yeah, it just went this like obsession with me.

So I was getting the books, the comics. I even had a Buffy the Vampire Slayer magnet in my locker. Sorry, I know you mean like a magnet, like a picture that sticks on something but for some reason I thought it was just a U-shaped magnet. And I bought this Buffy T-shirt.

This Buffy T-shirt. If it was in America, it could buy drink. It's 23 years old. I got it from a Miss Self-Rage.

Oh, she wants me back. I used to wear this because it got green with my michnets and my rock pots. I couldn't afford Dr Martin's and my daggie and he's rock pots. So anyway, Kelly.

I've been waiting for something to turn in and start saying how funky is your chicken. It's amazing that we got the shore from that film. The film is dying. The film is fucking shit.

Oh, it was amazing. But like cool films, I mean, I loved it. I thought it was fucking great. But looking back and just thinking it was just it just didn't hit the mark on certain things that movies of that ilk did.

You know what I mean? It was just quite unfortunate that it didn't like kind of hit books. Oh my god. What I thought was good was the fact that Seth Green was in it.

It was uncredited. So with Ben Affleck? Yeah, Ben Affleck's actually using Ben Affleck in the basketball game and he kind of gives the ball to the guy like, but yeah, it's just that there's some really good people in that film. You've got like Luke Perry, Brooke Carr, you know, David Ockett.

Oh yeah, really young David Ockett. I think somebody just realized what's going on. Yeah, I was talking about why were you interrupting? I was like, okay, there's money on the line.

I was like, okay, there's money on the line. I didn't know he does this. It's really got a copy out of it. So it's fine.

Exactly. That's amazing. So what was your introduction into the world of this, yeah? I think I was a little late, I came out in 1987 and I was eat it.

I think I saw a little bob. I think I saw it on the telly and it was just like, oh, and I always like scared it because I was just actually whipped. And then it was just kind of, and my first thing I remember really, I can't stand like actually feel it, because I can't really remember, but getting the TV days and watching it like that. And then I would have eventually got up to date when the obsession came in about it to watch the last one on telly.

But yeah, the same, like the t-shirts, the boogs, the comic, like the magazines, which had a comic in it. Yeah, when I told you the comics was a comic, I would tell you guys to work diabolically, but I'll be able to do it. I just loved it. I like, what I love now is absolute garbage.

I just like, trash. And it's the first like trashy, romantic, novel kind of thing. I like the romance of it and being like, this person and that like being obsessed with like, I think we'll go into that later on. Yeah, definitely.

Yeah, like, I was like telling a fellow kind of style, but in like, I said, like, when you're a kid and you're growing up, you're like, oh my god, these are my people kind of thing. You felt part of the Scooby-Gan when you were watching it. You were the one with them that were like, your mates. Well, and they said I thought they were my friends.

No, absolutely. Loving it. And I really watched it. I've rewatched it quite a few times since it originally, but I rewatched it last year.

And it still holds up and it still amaze in. And I watched the movie this year, the first time I've ever watched it. And I fell asleep, but I have to hear it. At the beginning, I was like, oh, I get it.

I feel like the main girl is like, I can have that moment, as he said, though, it just doesn't hit the same mark as I found other films. Yeah, I think it's the film is very much of its time. I love that you mentioned the David Ace. I know came out on VHS first, but I remember the- 85 pound for Chris.

Yeah, when the- The David Ace works. The David Ace works. Dorsional, the expensive to get as well. Yeah, she got a coffee.

Because I was thinking about, like, when we said we're doing the Buffy episode, I was like, oh, I got, I got, I got, how about Washington? I was younger. I was again going dodgy up north, went to the same car boot seal and there was a block selling all the different seasons of them. Like, he had the covers printed out, so look professional as well.

So I bought Buffy, Angel and the friends David Ace all in tonight from same car boots, they'll be for the train standards, gaming and raid of them. So that was, I was like, I can just remember how expensive it was though, but TV, especially to get like, TV DVDs, like TV shows, like Dexter was ridiculously expensive when that first came out as well. Yeah. We have, well, you agree?

Fantastic. Are you a bypass career there? Yeah, well, it's very, very- I'm, I'm a butter queen. My name's Dr.

Tolas, the watcher. I'm giving this, my disrespect to Sessam is I all got this shit. No, I'm, it's really, I'm really, I've also bought it just and ate it like a penny, but there's a three in front of it. That's fine.

So people have made money on the chat, it's really weird. I'm really glad for my Kayla because the fact is I was going to say that I got into it later, because the fact is we didn't have Sky either, but I didn't really watch it when it was on dress feel, so it was on like, BBC two, but then what happened is I saw like one or two episodes of season two. So I saw like, what was it? The first, Sky could be solo one and then I think, I think it's all the judge one.

I do it like this makes no sense because I haven't had another con next to season and it wasn't until ages until I think like season four was airing and a mate of mine had the ball on DVD or something, but up to that point, but what we wasn't make was basically like, I can't say fuck buddy because I'm just gonna be like 16 or something, but I don't know if any of you had consensual sex with, that's fine. Let's not let's have a wild here, but let's just say that there was a lot of time spent and movies were watched during, um, demonetised. I know, but they're so important to come. During, just going like, yeah, I would have been 16.

Well, there you go. That was 16 minutes dude. Well done. No, that's pretty impressive to be fair.

Anyway, anyway, it was really weird because I kind of went back and watched it. So it was all thing, but I think it was like sort of season four and just started airing and then basically you were watching, because I've never seen anything of season one, so it's a bit weird to me that that feels like the odd season because there's only like 10 episodes of it. And you're like, oh, the master, he says massive important thing. And I just told you my past that totally.

Um, but no, like I go into that and it's just scary. You know, formula to be like for, you know, like it was so like, he was there and he felt like they were your friends and it just felt like there's a mass, this emotional cornerstone, I think for referring to it, like that in that wonderful way that pops out pop culture in the salder does that. And yeah, so it was wonderful. But that's how I got into it.

And then obviously sort of watched it later eventually got all the DVDs and sort of, it's one of these ones where you binge watch it like every sort of two or three years kind of thing. Yeah, it's one of the things I do what you quite regularly. I can't get any wife to. She gets bored after a certain a bit and it's not, I don't think it's like for her writing the way I would describe.

So I always, like I just said, it's quite formulatly like it is said, it's almost like the way I would describe it now. It's like for the X files for teenagers. Yeah. It's like it's a monster of the week big bards, uh, lean up to.

I actually compare it, you know, I compare it to Harry Potter because Harry Potter for the generation after hours is the whole thing of everyone goes, oh, I was here when the spook was released. So I was here when this movie came out and it's there referencing. So basically, oh, I grew up and this was happening. Yeah, I've got that on my books.

It was like there was a posse of us who love Buffy and there was a posse of us who like read Harry Potter and I was like, fuck wizards. Oh, yeah, with the potential. I didn't get it that Harry Potter until like I was pregnant with my first child, you know what I mean? I listened when I was breastfeeding.

I was listening to the audio book by Stephen Fry. What a guy. What a guy. Anyway, but it was it was Buffy that was like, I was and like, maybe friends and we just it became such a game.

I remember when my friends 13th birthday, I bought the essential angel, which was basically a book of posters of Angel and it was the 13th birthday. It's Johnny Ringo's and I gave Harry and I swear to God, it's here. Overcome and emotional and it was just stuff like that where we would just like it was it was always like based around a remember. We we made a song about all this XE guys on Buffy to the tune of Blue Bigger, Mumbawtum Befine.

Oh, Blatty, you were the cool kids at school, weren't you? And they just said it's like over and over. No, no, no, no. It was like a little bit of child in this little bit of Santa in the pool.

You know what, you go fish, go fish. Oh, dear me. Wow. That was some choices there, so some do get into a little bit of the cool kids.

I wasn't cool. Gotcha. And how I got into it. I didn't.

I'm not a big fan. Why am I even here? No, I didn't. What am I even doing here today?

It is one of me. It's one of me. It's one of me. Sister's favorites.

And we have no one. I shouldn't do that. Yeah. He is my sister.

And so, yeah, we supposed to be able to see her. It's like when you pretend the child's a much better befriended in the chat. She's not here. Yeah.

Yeah. Which is too. Michaela. It's not until the last time.

Well, lots of nostalgia. It's like that's episode all over again. No, it was Michaela's thing. And I have seen them.

I just haven't seen them all. And there is big chunks that I've missed out on. And I got excited for Michaela because it was, I don't know if it's like your first thing, like your first franchise, that you're kind of like, and it was all yours. Yeah.

Like it wasn't influenced by me. It was all you. You found this on your own. And I didn't know if I kind of, I didn't, I just, I was there for the ride.

But yeah. Was the obsession that real was it? Yeah. I'm not, honestly, I enjoy them for what they are.

I will never take away from the pop culture that it is, like the big phenomenon that it is. But it's just not my thing. It's a joke. My thing is, the thing is, I would enjoy it to watch it.

It doesn't bother us to watch them. I just, I would never go out of me way. I tried a few years ago to start from the beginning. And I was like, oh, no, this is just the movie on the other hand.

It's one of my favorites. I absolutely adore that. I think it's absolutely brilliant. I mean, it's my husband's favorite.

He loves Buffy. He loves Angel. He was a part of that. So can we swap?

Can we get Anthony now? We swap back with Sam and Anne. It's cool. It's going to be kind of five and then show me Unbelievable.

I just didn't believe it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I didn't know how to answer this because I do, I do like it. It's just, I'm not a big, huge fan of it. Yeah. So yeah.

No, that's fine. No, like say, each of the one, you're wrong, but each of the one. Sorry. Sorry.

I've heard it off a killer quite a few times. I've been trying to get away from this brand. Oh, it's really fun. Oh, honestly.

Honestly, I'm actually wondering about what you're talking about making us watch this. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I've tried.

I've tried as well. He put clips on last night. He made us watch him go up in the TME a decorator. I don't know why it's funny.

He was like, I don't get it. Yeah. I've tried. I've tried about seven times.

I think we've killed, I had the maulin DVD. Oh, yeah. DVD as well. And I've tried.

And I just, I can't get past the first few episodes. I'm like, what's happening? Like, the boys and things happening. That's fine.

That's fine. Like, why is there no vampires in this movie? I'd like to cross over with Nida. 20 Soprano versus Spica or something like that.

Well, I'll try the track. No, we're not going to go there. Mine was a, and that sounded really strange because I was a close up nerd when I was younger. And the people I used to hang about with and with like the activities here, because I was like really sporty.

I was on all the football teams, basketball teams, rugby teams and stuff. So we're a chock. So when they used to, like when they used to find out like I was in the comics and early stuff, I used to get a piss ripped out of this. So I guffy, which to me was a little bit of an escapism because I was like my little secret at the start when I was a fan of the movie.

It came out around the same time as Freddy's, Freddy's dead I think. Because it was around about that time. I used to get a copy of Freddy's dead. He used to copy all the films of Sky for us.

And she went, oh, I've got this van by your one as well. So I watched Buffy the van by his say. I was like, this is amazing. Then when it came out on TV, I used to play football in the Saturday afternoon.

And then after the match, we used to all hang out and stuff. But I used to always make an excuse because Buffy started on a Saturday. And when it was a first put out, and I would see me an excuse and I've got to go home early and stuff like that. So I could go home and watch Buffy.

But I'm a little bit jealous of you guys going away and talking to your friends about Buffy because I had to keep it as a closet secret for many years before I was allowed to be a nerd type thing. Yeah, I'm glad that man manifested in it. Really, unhinged way for you. At least you were in the game culture as you were in the game culture.

Not at all. Excessive. Yes, we were on my excessive purchase yesterday. I went in the Lego shop and I was all so the DeLorean now was like, I can't leave without it.

This is my new child. And I'm ready to go. Nicole, I've done something we can't eat for the next two weeks. Yes, so my for real, the Buffy was a little bit of a skippism to let my little nerdisms out as well.

So I know we've had discussions about this in the past because we have different sort of opinions on which seasons we prefer. Oh yeah. So we do go on a bit of a journey through the vampire's lane saga shall we see it. So what seasons to you guys is your personal strong favourite or like, which one would you say is your favourite type of season?

I'll go on then. If you want to move on. No, go on. I do.

Look, I love two, three and then but my absolute favourite is four. I love it. Which one's four? Four, do I might go to college?

That's my favourite. That's the one I've seen. I just think it's funnier. Yes.

I like that. I like that. I like that. It's not a serious.

I think say I have a really good story but I just don't like it because I hate it. Don't and I guess it will probably be a big one. I can't even hear it. I can't hear it.

I really love the college one. I like the next step of it and then it will probably be two and two is. But then for you, let's say two, three and four. Right.

The other one's like really late around after six and seven. It's watchable. It really is. It's still you can tell watch it and enjoy it but you could tell it was just kind of like what are we going to do?

What else are we going to do? Would you say we're going through the motions? I do love that. Don't get it right.

It just seemed like he didn't, the writers and I just didn't know what to help do with a lot of characters after a certain time. I think with that, it's very telling that he went off and done serenity or five-life sorry and he poured everything into five-life because when five-life got cancelled, all the actors and actresses were in Buffy and Angel after that. So he didn't want to give up on five-life. You can tell there was the law where his concentration was for parts of the same.

He's always here. I try to figure out a lot of directors and showrunners like do that where they get actors that they trust. Like it's like getting into him being like, oh, get the same three people. I've read everything.

Yeah, like who's my favorite and Don Gumpter where he just goes, yeah, we'll just get the same actors for every single film I do. And you're like, that's fine. It works. I can understand what we're getting in there as well with the law.

But yeah, so Robert, you're kind of very serious and stern. Oh, yeah, the fucking computer's gone. Yeah, well, yeah, yeah. I thought I just didn't know that.

Nice, I like hello. Hello, hello. Like she fucking should have. If I ever went on Mastermind, which is very fucking unlikely, it would be my four-year is pretty much season one and three.

But can quiz me on those three seasons and I'm like, wow, wow, wow. I had them all on VHS Box that which I, I'd be instantly saved up for 35 pounds for three videos. I remember that in obviously season two and three were longer. So it was like a two-two quid.

I was like a two-two quid. I was fucking insane. And then when I had them like on me, Book shelf, you know, like season one, two, three. And I think that's probably his work.

So I used to like just watch them all the time. And season four, I hit it, Riley. Right? Oh yeah, I hit Riley.

Okay. That's the human equivalent of a wet fast. Right? Absolutely.

Sam, kind of, I loved Zander. Zander was always like, my, my, my. Oh God. And he kind of started dwindles in that sort of season.

And he didn't really say much of him. He was like a book of brick layer or something, you know. And I think I came with him. Yeah, I was just like, I wonder what would do with him.

And I'm like, oh my God, he's my posh or bring it. I think that's probably where the show could have had a few more balls to it. And this I killed off a few characters. Yeah.

That would have given them. You know, I'd just have them there. Having around in the background. Yeah.

We also had a series for me. It's made me a journey that the turn one of the characters gave. That's pretty, like, the first. Oh, it's very, very before I get ahead of its time as well.

But then again, it's because it's a show about fantastical things. That was, we know, gave them. I mean, it was the natural world, really. No, no, let's be into it.

I'm going back to the, the quid was a little bit more for me. No, that's not what I brought. I can possibly be doing. Definitely, Cinere's one to three for me.

Absolutely loved every single aspect of it. The whole like she died at the end of series one. And then that activated another slayer. Then you've got the Rolksley.

If you've got Angeles going bad, you know, after Duluth's overgendered. You know, when we chided links into the whole. Oh, if you have six of boys and they don't like you. I've got them.

I'm like, oh, they're going to turn it off. I'm like, I'm trying to get them. I'm trying to turn it off. I'm in a box or whatever.

You know what I mean? Just like, sorry, there's me and all's running. But yeah, I love that. And you know what?

I actually shared it to you at the end of season three. Because obviously that's when Angel goes and leaves, you know, except for the future e-cropsovers and stuff. And he does his own sort of show. And she actually shared it to you and it was graduation because you've got like stable characters who died.

Like, you know, you had harmony, which really upset me. You had Larry, the horrible jock guy who. Sandra was trying to like kind of get some information out. He accidentally like, you know, got him to say he was gay.

So you know, I was just like, what was just, if that was testing the fact that you got attached to these people and you know, you enjoyed their crack. And it was just the way everyone came together and kind of realized like prom, you know, yeah, there's something wrong with Sunnydale. We don't really understand what's wrong with Sunnydale, but we know that things got back when Buffy came. Yeah.

Umbrella. And I thought that was just like, lush. Yeah. It could have finished at the end of series three and I would have been happy.

I quite like, you know, like I said with the characters that you got, like even the side characters are the people that have like small lines that kind of kept them like going through. So they kept on recurring and kind of got bigger roles or comeback roles. Like, I was just thinking of Jonathan. Yeah.

Who kind of came when he was like part of the trying virus, you know, like season, you know, it was a day. What are they called the triosco or something? I don't, it's like, toy kale. I was like, what the hell is that?

Yeah. It's the three bellens. Yeah. Is that the guy who killed?

Try answers. Yeah. It was Warren. Warren.

Yeah. Warren. Warren. Warren.

Warren. Yeah. How are they? How are they?

How are they? Sorry. I meant to say to his brother. I'm sorry.

I called it a bamboo. But yeah, just like, I could have finished there for me. It's hilarious. And then season five, Dawn.

Oh my god. The end of that episode where the ball was turning, well, mom. And I was just like, when, I went at the scale. I thought you knew.
