Hot-Takes & World Cup Commentary

It's not letting me sort out my lighting yet time's up I was thinking of pressing record before we joined the call so then basically you would jump on um while I'm also fuffing around with this green light blue light orange light red light thing that I've got funny to think of that because I was thinking that before I jumped on I was like it would be really funny if we just hit record and then just see how we start.

Of my eyes so it's like two face Hulk Edition the real life Two-Face coming on but then since you hit record I forgot I was I was gonna be like the one thing that we can't forget and forgive me if it's echoey in here I think let me just turn on there and hopefully we'll reduce the echo the one thing I keep forgetting to do is we now want Anonymous feedback Anonymous positive feedback so at the end of this podcast or even halfway.

Person yeah I'm not tracking you yet John if I say generic names then it might might be okay um so basically two things we'd like to know one what are we doing well and two what could we do better so that's typically a good way to go number three was going to be what topics do you want us to talk about well yeah that's basically number two as in number two is it could be better if you talk.

Dead air okay one of my hot takes is I have not reviewed the last podcast so I don't know if I'm wearing exactly the same thing which I thought imagine if we recorded this every week which roughly we're doing at the moment and then we cycle through our clothes and then just wear the same thing would look like the most blunderst people just cycling through our clothes through the week that no one can see well they definitely know that.

Days when they try and watch the highlights from that match you know our video will come up with two guys supposedly in football top kind of like Vibes potentially giving some critique on the football they've been watching Morocco is wearing red and they've got green shorts so you're covering the green on the face yeah it reminds me of you know um you can't actually uh sometimes because of Licensing you can't uh publish um like football or whatever on TV uh on.

That in itself becomes more attaining than the football sometimes I think that's uh that's my intake yeah at some point maybe we have to do a reaction video Yeah live reaction video we're doing it now get on the game with your live reaction of the World Cup football game two teams that we probably know five players from so one one thing that um I haven't shared with the podcast or the pod uh one thing that I haven't shared with.

Kind of uh showcase as it were so the Welsh government weren't allowed to do their own showcase because the UK government might know we've got this campaign we've got this great campaign this great brand stuff and we want to put England and Wales underneath that umbrella so basically they've uh the Welsh government put chemist names name forward and she got selected to represent music and that meant that three of her tracks get played and it's in this Garden so it's called Garden of.

Recall her name right now um and then there's a famous chef and all sorts of stuff so it's about showcasing the creativity um which is cool and then she got some press associated with it um as well which is cool because again it's so showcasing Wales is kind of like Talent as it were do they monitor how many people stood on whatever um stepping stone you're on and for how long at all so that'll be quite that would be actually super interesting I.

Us armpit well yeah the heat um the heat out there is probably gonna you know make it smell a little bit a bit stronger as well so um so yeah anyway we're talking about the World Cup football stuff and and watching and how you're gonna live commentate hopefully unless it's just going to be dead air on this stuff well it's gone to advert so it's very hard to live commentate for all much it's gone to adverts yeah the market Trail at the.

Members both speak English they're like well we just had zero zero views now we might need to create a separate podcast with our Welsh version I wonder whether or not we can use yeah like just a little bit of Welsh every now and again to kind of like you know some little put up with it for 20 seconds or whatever to kind of like you know that's fine because it's showcasing just the the breadth of talent that or.

Social interactions that you you would have had as a child so there's like I was thinking sorry there's not that much or that I've come across decent Welsh content like it's called the gogglebox now s4c are doing in Welsh and I follow some of the Welsh um football guys talking about football but it's like there's a niche in the market so I've got a hot take on this basically the Welsh government funded this cultural platform to showcase the.

Have like lower slower growth um which is interesting and really what you should do is like we as our government are in play right now we're going to make the goal of X number of people in our government and our control because the 2050 you have no control over who's in government there so how do you know if that's going to be a thing or not but that's a side point but yeah the Welsh government have funded this am.

See if you can keep yeah this is kind of like the um like I said in the last podcast or one of the ones with the All Blacks where they basically do presentations and they get like um golf balls thrown at them go for Hulu well he got a guess I'm assuming it was Morocco yeah oh what a good guess so it's one Nils Morocco who are they playing Spain uh Spain oh it was pretty well so I've been written team to the um last.

Portugal South Korea Uruguay Ghana because it's a Fame yeah didn't win because they would have gone through the beat I think Uruguay that I think they drew or something yeah it was a shame because they were on fire I'm really liking Japan oh oh the guy hit the post Spain post this all right it says all right coming back to my story I have no idea where I finished my story what was I saying yeah whilst government offended this platform to be the next uh.

Again Spain haven't had their second shot yet technically is this penalties yeah Oh I thought this was like the normal game okay in this case I'm gonna have to speak very fast so Welsh Netflix it doesn't work because basically we're watching Netflix right we're watching Netflix so why don't you just create stuff to be on Netflix create Welsh content so to be on Netflix red notice that's Welsh subtitles isn't it it's the first um Welsh subtitled item because Ryan.

Brain 2x londoners in the world that will keep up with us everyone else will drop off by now yeah um the two owners Ryan Reynolds did it in red notice Welsh language to promote amazing Rob mcelhoney the second owner he's created an Apple TV series called Mythic Quest and he actually has the wrexham logo on a shield I don't know if you oh and with a quest but yeah the local area and language and I think if they're fancy.

Tick tockers that are creating Welsh content on Tick Tock and I'm like why don't you just give money to content creators to create on platform another save on platforms that already exist rather than trying to create your own platform because it it would just be better better impact right because then you're not having to force yourself into somebody's day-to-day kind of like lifestyle right in the sense of like we're not going to create a podcast and have it like on a separate platform that.

If we put some railing Consulting tops together that that should be very clever I really like the tide and the grandson I think that Dynamic is really funny and then the the three Welsh guys The Three Brothers I think they're funny so I think they won yeah Morocco is one into that final eight in the whole world cup I think yeah because Senegal got kicked out Senegal Center gal Senegal yeah they got kicked out and gone I've got a hot take.

Information from a designer's point of view you know they have changed the way that um offside rules have been mentioned because they were complaining like um Gary Neville was saying like you need to give us the context of like give us the shot then go into like show us the line then go into the animation of the close-up animation and then come back to the shot and basically they've done that now because what they were doing before is like just switching to the here's his.

Speaking of of not been as good in the in the group stages it feels like their hype hasn't been there um similar to kind of like Germany and stuff right like it but then yesterday it feels like they've turned up again although I I obviously know that they won their group they were top of their group right but but it feels like they've come out they'll work a little bit more every day maybe it's just because there's a like a.

Tournament football yeah I I don't mind that because it gives other people a chance right like it makes it more fascinating and more like historic rather than the same teams winning all the time but I I also think that it is good for the same teams to be winning because that just serves like consecutive Excellence which in itself is a skill to have because like winning one cool anybody who can win one but can you win two can you win three and like.

Well just turn up in Amazon or turn up an eBay it obviously takes it takes more of a cut that's like a good like starting point until you get your regular customers and then you start drawing them to your own platform but I recognize you'll make a little bit less profit to begin with but you're aligning with eyeballs that are already there looking for those things already obviously you can pay a bunch of money for ads and things like that but it's a.

Remember everything you wanted to say and also it'll be like oh we should have said this this this is this or like remember right I remember the ITV thing the wearing clothes that might be the same thing on every part um thing absolutely um episode I don't know what is the other thing I would have probably kicked off more of the fact that we've got a brand new roof that costs an arm and a leg but actually looks quite good now so then my uh.

Very personal that you sort of got to go oh I didn't realize this is how my emotions and thoughts were kicking off hearing loads of banging and knowing that basically we don't have a roof that if it randomly for some reason absolutely lashes it down it'll just soak through the whole house but it's it's so interesting how you can um have these more emotions particularly when you own a house because it feels like your own kid that you're just like.

Scaffolding with us it's like they're in the house so there's noises in the house there's like dudes using your toilet which is fine but also like like when you want to go to the toilet oh someone's in there hang on oh it's a build uh you know it's that kind of thing that's what I remember the like the just the but one thing I have noticed around that it's like when you've got a story about a builder or a.

The door of going this is what's going on in my life actually people naturally connect and link to that and then you find out all their stories about all their difficulties with alternators or roofers or or noises or building sites so it is really interesting so maybe the hot takers just open up a little you don't know well of course you find out yeah it reminds me of like basically you've got to go first right in the sense of the.

Empathy is basically reciting a story a similar story back kind of thing right um yeah so that's like one basic way of of kind of like showing some empathy to the situation um yeah it's fascinating we also had another bit of feedback um about us being more vulnerable and um I guess in some ways it's it's important for us not to really have things polished so you can kind of as I've said before I I don't want to be.

Screws over anytime you want to get a mortgage so that that's the one problem with us so we're in limbo waiting to be on the Electoral roll while we're working online yeah but annoyingly November October November they don't add anybody so even though you've submitted right they don't add anybody in either October or never or whatever but they just say hey you're going to be added first of December so on the first December which obviously it was already.

Over being on the Electoral roll when you weren't in your old property of Interest no I think what happens is maybe when the tenant adds themselves onto the Electoral role it probably takes us off because that address is associated with that person maybe they have to choose to do that because you reminded me when I moved into our house a random person was added on so now I was like that person doesn't live here but these two do yeah exactly so me yeah.

Stuff but if you're in an existing building that you know has people coming and going then they don't know I do think there should be a new system for like addresses I sort of feel like you need an ID an address linked to the ID but then it'll always send it to your ID and then somehow would scan something to know what address it is so then you can constantly switch it in and out your address but then you'll constantly have.

Letters and then just send it to you or they can re um redirect parcels and stuff so okay that's interesting but they're also doing it with like you know virtual cards they do it with virtual cards kind of as in like you have a car and then you burn the card so then it doesn't make you use and they're starting to use it with emails I'm not sure if you've seen when Apple like you want to add in an email and they kind of.

Would feel a bit better but those kind of things do exist I was wondering if basically that could be a business if you had a lot of like space and you didn't mind letters being attributed to your house and you're like organizing letters then you just provide a PO Box offering where anyway Sunny Side to Philadelphia where one of them works in the um he literally throws some of them back into the mail to give him more time and.

Manual but um it'd be like a decent physical reason to have a a building with some pigeon holes as they call them or whatever so but not on that note and on that note the football there's there's more football on now right later uh seven oh seven and on that six at the moment enjoy come back next week to our next football review into a political Switzerland speak soon bye.
