The video over-intellectualizes a simple domestic evening by framing casual TV watching as a profound exercise in national unity. It is a pleasant glimpse into daily life, but the high-concept sociological labels feel far too heavy for such a mundane personal moment.

QUIET EVENING AT HOME / WATCHING ENGLAND ON TV
Added:Hello and thank you for coming back to the channel. Right, I'm inserting this video hopefully inserting this video between our um Grand Caner videos because I want it to be up to date and this is the day that England played their first World Cup game and I've been looking forward to it all day. It's weird because you know they're going to play. I'm doing nothing. I'm going to sit there watch it but you feel as if you got to prepare yourself and you just don't want to do nothing. I think it's just on your mind or it was is for me anyway. So, um yeah, I've not really done too much down a little bit of the van or whatever. You'll see that coming up in other vlogs. But, um yeah, I'm going to go in the bath first of all and then you ain't going to see that. I showed you that once before. Ain't going to do that again, guys. Um and then going to sit there first watch the Portugal game cuz my family, well, my mom and dad live in Portugal. So, we will be sort of like cheering on Portugal. Just that's just the um to get the excitement of the England game and then little bits and bobs. I don't know what I'm going to film really. It's just what a typical old person does who doesn't really follow football, but when the World Cup comes around, he loves it.
Thanks for coming back.
Right then, Cal, while I'm um going in the bath, you're cooking a traditional English dinner. What are you doing, girl?
>> You're going to have bangers and mash.
>> Bangers and mash. Yeah. And you said to me, "I'm not filming that on for your channel."
>> Yeah. No, I'm not going to do my channel.
>> No. So, we're having bangers and mash.
get in the mood for the old British well English game. I keep saying British. I get used to because I get criticized to say, "Oh, Steve, it's the British that are out here. British. I'm" But today is unashamedly English day.
Scotland know quite well though, didn't they?
>> It's started, babe.
>> Cristiano is 41 years old. Oldest player ever to play. He ain't >> just shows you. Hey, that's oldies. We can do it.
>> Who you going to want? Cal to win.
>> Who is it?
>> Portugal.
>> DRC.
>> DRC.
>> I don't know who DRC is.
>> I don't know. Portugal >> at the moment. Then Portugal until the other side get one goal. Then I'll know where how they're playing.
>> All right.
>> Where actually do you look it up? And it's Dr. Congo.
>> Don't know where Dr. Congo is. I'm taking >> Carol baby, we decided to have dinner now, ain't we? E >> cuz this has got no excitement at all.
Is it really? We like Portugal to win because mom and dad do you. You don't really care.
>> No, I don't mind. I don't.
>> But um >> I want Portugal to win.
>> Yeah.
>> But if the other side because they're Central African company, >> you like the Africans, don't you?
>> No, because they're the lower one.
>> Yeah. Um, if they pay really well, then obviously >> I want them to win.
>> Okay then. Right then. But but we've decided to sit down and have dinner, ain't we? E, because and then I'm going to have a drink. At the moment, guys, I'm on lemonade and water. I'm on rations. Carol said, >> if I have too much to drink, I'll probably fall asleep and miss the game.
Don't start to 9:00. What a silly time to start a game. 9:00.
>> I know. Yeah. Poor old Scotland. Middle of the morning.
>> Morning.
>> Yeah, I kept saying night. And then people kept saying, "No, it's not night.
It's in the morning."
And I will be drinking um Budweiser today as it's all being played in America. I think it's fitting.
And that's it.
>> 5 minutes into the game, Portugal scored.
Oh, hopefully this is a good game. And here it is, guys. Me traditional English dinner. Bangers and mash. And I think Carol's well gone out on the bangers.
Me. One, two, three, four, five, six.
Six sausages and all that.
>> They wanted a light meal. Wasn't my fault.
Come in this lady for Germany.
>> Give me that here.
Not exactly like you'd get in a restaurant, is it? Hang on a minute.
Hang on a minute. That's not an English meal. What's that?
>> That's Portuguese.
>> Portuguese rice.
>> Piri rice. Yeah.
>> Couple of chicken balls and sausage.
Silver.
>> Why is that for Portugal?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. And what's the walkers for?
>> They were Chris that I started.
>> Gary Lica. Yeah, good old English player.
>> So, they're having one of these hydration breaks. Yeah, because it's so hot out there. But then I just >> I think I actually heard him say the com like you know the commentator it's played in air condition >> and it's 20°.
So, are they having a vibration?
If it's inside a stadium and it's all air conditioned, why are they stopping?
That seems weird, don't it, Ka?
>> Yeah, but they're running about in this country as well, ain't they, babe? You know, they are >> they don't stop here, do we? To a nice race. You know, I suppose really what they would do over here probably stop and sort of wrap up a little bit. Oh, bit chilly out there today. Maybe little umbrellas or something like that. We could always have that.
>> Yeah, >> I'm just sitting here eating me dinner, but I'm >> drinking. I'm getting on my drink.
>> Yeah, I know. It's just that it just seems to stop the flow.
>> It seems Well, it seems to stop the flow. I I want it to carry on. I want I want this to be out the way. I want to watch the England game. You know, this is like >> It's not going to come on any quicker.
>> I know. I know.
>> But you're just so impatient.
>> I'm I've I've waited a long while for this and I really do believe that we could do it.
>> I think we can do it.
>> Say that every time we play a game.
>> I'm going to show you why I think we can do it. I think it's an omen. Last night I come into this little shed, my little shed here. Yeah. Which is totally full of crap at the moment. So that's why I'm only showing you this part, guys. And I turned on this light. And this light didn't come on. I thought the electrics had gone wrong. I started sort of like moving this around and this popped off of here and everything like that. And the reason I thought the electrics had gone off was because that bulb has been going ever since we've had this house.
We've been in this house 20 30 years I think 20 something 25 years and that bulb is in there. And if you see the fitting it's going on to I reckon that bulb was probably pre England winning the World Cup. And I thought it's an omen now that's gone. It's like the old has gone out the way. Now the new is here. The new England team, we're going to do it. I think it's an omen. I really do. And if we do actually do win the World Cup, it's all because of me keeping that bulb. Should have got rid of it years ago. They don't make things the way they used to, did they? Probably lasted that 30, 40 years, 50 years.
Them energy saving ones only last about 40 years, don't they? The future. So they started the next part now and in my mind because of the iation break I think this is the second half now I get totally confused don't I was the other day I said come on Carol they're going to win they're going to win Carol said to me no we still got another half yet and I thought no we've had hal time I do not like that hydration break not when they don't need it have come back have come back or Dr. should I say. And to be the truthful, I'm standing here watching it because I don't really care that much if Portugal do win. I know that's what I started off wanting Portugal. I just want goals. I just want to see goals. Lots of goals.
Lots of goals. And uh my wife, well, she'sn't she's left me. She left me.
She's not enjoying this football one bit, but at least she lets me watch them.
What a wife, right? because it's um literally half time now. The real half time.
Let's open these up a bit. Babe, >> I thought I just But >> yeah, >> I'm not sure about that sun coming through still.
>> No, cuz we have to have Oh, you okay?
You want me to close it again?
>> Because we have the sun coming right into the thingy, >> don't you? Okay.
>> Yes.
I was just looking. I was literally I was over here and I'm looking. Yeah. And I'm thinking, "Hang on a minute.
Where'd these pictures come from?
>> They're not pictures.
>> They're cushy cupboards.
>> They're cushy cupboards." Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> So, I thought myself, the old girl was trying to spruce up the place a little bit. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> And I thought myself, the chairs We always said when the dog passed away, we would get new chests, >> didn't we?
>> We did. And then we definitely do need them.
>> Yes, we do need them. So, do you want to look on your phone? Cuz I don't know where you actually get chairs from now.
But everything's online.
And I know you could go online and you would find chairs. I know that.
But I like to sit in them. I like to stick me bum in them and everything.
Done a little wiggle there, didn't I?
You didn't see that. Yeah. No, you like to try I like to try them out. I don't want to order something, get it here, sit in it, and think, "Oh, it's g me back a car."
>> When you bought these?
>> Yeah.
>> I was actually in hospital.
>> You was in hospital. The reason >> And they let me have day release cuz I weren't going to let you buy any sofas without looking at >> because when I actually did buy these, Carol was in hospital with your um they thought that your phone had gone to your brain, didn't they? Yeah. And I thought, "Sorry for you." And I thought to myself, "Well, she might not be coming home. I'll get myself a nice set of chairs."
No, I done it just so that you'd get out of hospital. They said they'd let you out of hospital. So, we actually went and we got these from the range, didn't we? These ones here, we got these from the range.
>> They've done about seven, eight years.
>> They've done seven, eight years.
>> Where would we get them from? That's what I was saying. Where would we get them from? I don't really know because do you know what I like? No, I don't know.
>> So, if you go to the shops, they're there.
>> Yeah, I've just had a little look and you can get them for >> not cheap prices but reasonable prices.
But in the shops, when I was in the shops, they was like £6,000 and things like that for a set, >> right?
>> And if you go online, they're like £2,000.
>> So, >> but then you'd put like what you're getting. You don't know.
>> That's what it is. That's what I said to you. That's what I said to you. So, we need to sort of like I want you to get us some chairs.
Okay, that is it. I shall give you the money. As long as I ain't too a lovely chair that moves and >> No, no, you chair.
>> No. And this is the problem. This is the problem because Carol will be there. Oh, it's electric one. It moves up and it moves down and it plays little tunes and there's lead lights at the bottom and all that. Yeah. And then you got a big power lead going to your chair. You don't need that, girl. All we need is a chair. Let's face it, we go away quite a lot.
>> One, two, two three seaters and obviously man chair.
>> Why didn't I know to just go for a three-seater >> and a two-seater over there and have this for something else?
>> The only problem is we've got a great big radiator that runs along the length of that wall.
>> Oh, we have, ain't we? Oh, you don't want to look at the radiator. In other words, you got to get rid of the radiator, Steve. Then I got to try to find the paint cuz I didn't paint behind the radiator. Look guys anyway. It's just a fault. See that? I'm trying to tell her to go and get us over and she's got a problem with it.
>> Now it's got >> We could have an L shape.
>> We could have a what?
>> An L shape over there.
>> An L shape >> sofa.
>> I don't like an L shape. I'd like something nice.
>> This is what happened last time. That's why you went out and decided to get these.
>> Have a look. That's what I'm saying.
>> I'll have a look. I'll show you >> and then I'll get back to the football.
But there again, to be dead truthful, if England don't live up to expectations, you can forget about the bloody sofa.
We'll put up with that. It's only England.
Have a look. Have a look around.
>> Nice pink set.
>> Not getting a pink set.
>> They're going It would match your little pictures. Oh, get lost. Get lost. Get lost. I wish I didn't say night now.
Wish I didn't say night.
>> Anyway, 1 hour to go. And you know what that means? 8:00. You know what that means, don't you?
>> We still got another hour. I thought we started at 8:00. 8:00. Yeah. 1 hour's time. We still got another hour. But 8:00 it means that I should start my beers if you don't mind.
>> They're already waiting for you in the fridge.
>> And I've not had any guys, but I still feel that we need to get this over. So, >> I've recorded you. You record? I've recorded it as well, bro.
>> Yeah. Um, you're not backing out.
>> Anyway, anyway, we're wobbled on for 6 minutes over getting us over. It's supposed to be a nice easy relaxing day watching the football.
>> Right. Right. The um football's come back in. I've lost all interest in it cuz I I just want to literally watch England. I thought this was going to get me excited. It isn't really. I will watch the I will get into it in a minute, but I'm going to go down and just turn the opt up because we always turn it down. Yeah. cuz we've got >> too.
>> No, not too high. But because we've got like a little bit of time between the games, I'm going to go down the hot tub after this is finished. I will watch it.
Yeah.
>> Okay.
>> You okay with that, B?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. And we've just been looking. Ain't you just been looking and B and Q do them, don't they?
>> They do. They do quite a nice one in there, but we need to look at it.
>> We need to look at it. Yeah. So, that's what But yeah, they'd be good cuz we could get that C. Pick it up. I still got Oh, yeah. Well, I still got the van before I put the seat things. I can actually pick it up.
>> Sometimes I order these things, but normally they they don't just >> Anyway, yeah, it wasn't supposed to be that. It's supposed to be washing the football. This is what happens. You know, I'm easily distracted, guys.
Easily distracted. I sat down. I thought myself I'm going to have me bangers and mash are going to watch me England play cuz they're going to literally annihilate the other team. We're going to sort of every team in the World Cup after tonight. I'll be like, "Wow, hope we don't have to play England." That's what's happening in my mind. That's what I think's happening. And then what happens? I'm buying a sofa set.
Told you the way my mind works, they never want to get me on one of them couches, you know, to try to work them psychiatrist trying to work out everything goes.
Oh, he'd have a breakdown. He'd have a breakdown, wouldn't he, babe?
>> And then just when he thinks he's figured me out, I go, "Do you want to talk to my other personality?" Cuz I got lots of them, guys. I got hundreds.
One thing, one thing about having a bath was the fact that I did not Oh, put any shoes on. So, I'm just popping on down here. Going to turn on the hot tub and then really get into the atmosphere.
Forget about buying sofas and everything.
Right. It's that Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. So 355.
I put it up to Well, 35.5.
I put it up to around about 37 cuz the old girl did say that she didn't want it too warm. And then we can actually enjoy ourselves. Let's get back now. Well, it ended up 1-1. And do you know something, Cal? I changed my preferences who I wanted to win halfway through that game.
>> Yeah, >> I did.
>> Who was it?
>> Yeah, Cal. I was thinking watching old Ronaldo there running rounds and um he come back to me.
I think he got Ray Rooney sent off in an England game and then as that rain was being sent off he ran over to the referee. I think he did and told the referee to send him off. Ray Rooney got sent off and as he was being sent off Ray Rooney and he s um Ronaldo was sort of dude that's he sort of went you know laughing and I that come back to me and I thought myself he got rainy sent off to seven years ago.
>> It was a long while ago but there again you know my dad's half Italian. Got a little bit Italian blood. We don't forget we hold a grudge.
>> Come on. Let's go down to the top.
>> It begins. Cal, don't it?
>> Yeah.
>> You looking forward to it?
>> Yeah. I'm going to get my beer now. I won't be filming anything in between because I'm going to sit down. I want to enjoy it. Okay.
So when they have that hydration break, I'll come back and tell you what I think of it so far.
>> Once I've had a beer, >> can I have a beer?
penalty.
>> No. Who got it?
>> We got to take it.
>> Come. Come in here and watch it. You should watch it. I don't know why you keep wanting that.
>> Sit down.
>> Ain't scored it yet. We got to take it.
>> Oh, 8 minutes into it and it's a penalty.
>> Oh yes.
What's going to happen? You can't actually sort of like film this because this is all like copyright sort of things. So, but you know, you've watched this. Come and just watch it, Cal.
What's gonna happen? What is gonna happen?
>> There he goes.
>> Oh, he's got to score.
>> I am literally >> panicking. It's like I got I'm actually sweating now. It's ridiculous. It's a football game. regular on the spot.
>> Oh, hands it.
>> Yeah. Oh, come on. Come on.
>> Oh my.
>> Oh my god. No.
>> Missed it.
>> Saved.
>> Oh no.
>> Why' they do this to me? Why? And I tell you, my heart is actually beating.
>> Said I wasn't going to film it, but I thought >> I thought that was it.
>> Hang on. What's going on now?
>> They're checking it now. It might have to be taken again.
>> What's happening?
>> They've retaken it because one of their actual players run into the actual penalty area. I've never seen that before.
>> This is unbelievable, ain't it? Oh god.
>> Oh, look at him. He's doing it.
>> Sorry for the guy.
>> You You always feel sorry for the other team. No, don't don't. This is England.
>> Oh, no. He done a good job. Taking it again.
>> Yeah, I know. Because one of their players run on and he was the one that kicked it next.
>> Kane takes it now. He's definitely going to get it cuz they don't.
>> Come on, take it now. Carol wants to take it now.
Oh, this is bad.
>> Oh, this is terrible, babe. Come on.
>> What's going on? What's going on?
>> I am.
>> YEAH, >> THAT WAS RIGHT IN MY EAR.
>> OH, BRILLIANT. OH, BRILLIANT. I'll pick you up at the the middle bit. And now the celebration starts.
Oh, come on. Come on, England son. Come on.
So, it's hydration break and all the fans was moaning about it, wasn't they?
I'm not the only one. It's just killing the game. It's ridiculous. The fact they've only been playing 22 minutes and having their little walks.
>> They must just start getting into >> It's ridiculous. It just kills it. Just totally kills it. It's ridiculous. Cuz I was just enjoying it. I was getting into it and now now this.
>> But we don't realize how it is out there.
>> I know. I know. I I can understand that.
But why so long? Just throw a bottle on.
Let them drink as they go along.
>> No, I'm not a fan of that. I'm not a fan. Fan of the score though. Are you happy now? Are you getting into it as well? Yeah. Yeah.
>> You You take a little while to get into it, don't you?
>> Yeah. I like it. I like if they're playing both playing good >> then. Or if one Yeah. I like a bit of a challenge watching it.
>> It's a challenge. It's England. It's always a challenge.
>> But it's not really I thought say it's a brilliant game at the moment.
>> It's fantastic game >> only because they've got fantastic.
>> Carol was just asking me is it a good game. I went it's a good game. They've done their first little chance at goal and they've scored, don't they?
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> It was a good goal. That's it.
>> Oh, shut up.
>> It was a bloody brilliant goal.
>> It was bloody horrible.
>> It was good.
>> It was offside.
>> Can you sense the difference between me and Carol? Carol was like very fair. And you got to give it to the others. Me is like, "No."
>> Oh, I can't believe it.
>> Fair. It's not fair.
>> It's not fair.
>> You've got to play fair. It >> is not fair.
>> It is.
>> It's horrible. I've watched 36 minutes and they started where they back where they started.
All I got out of it was a prawn cocktail and a beer.
>> Going to go for it now, aren't they?
>> Oh, this is bad. This is bad.
>> Why they do it to me?
>> Tell it again.
Oh, 40 41 minutes. Ed Kane. Absolutely brilliant.
>> I'm back happy again now, babe. I'm back happy again.
>> Brilliant.
>> Fantastic.
>> I can't believe it. I was just accepting it was going to be Halime. I wasn't even really even concentrating.
And then they go and score.
22. It's a lot of goals. It's a good game, but it's not doing my art any good. How are we feeling?
>> What do you mean >> with the game?
>> I want England to score now. They've got two two. So now it's >> You don't realize why I'm so passion.
The reason I'm so passionate for and this is the dead truth is if England do well in this, it brings everybody in the country together. Well, everybody in England. Yeah. brings them all together and it makes everybody happy. Like I've experienced it before where we've gone right through to almost the end and it's like everybody's happy. Everybody's happy and it would be so great.
Everybody would be sort of so really happy and we've been put down a lot in our country, ain't we? We're told we can't do this and can't do this and everything. And it would be nice just everybody to be happy together.
It brings it brings the country together into the >> Yeah. Whatever country wings it wins it.
It brings them together and it makes them happy. And I think >> there's only one person that one country they can win it. So there's a lot of other countries that aren't going to win it, but as long as they've done their best, that's what it's all about.
>> Only come from one country, don't I?
That's the one I want to win.
She don't get it. She just don't get it.
And that is the way to start a game, ain't it, Cal? Hey, literally one minute into it and now we're back up again.
3-2.
>> And my happiness has just rose up again.
>> Brilliant. E.
>> Yeah.
>> Whatever. I got an habit of just putting in whatevers every now and then, babe. I actually got critsized it on another um blog because um >> I was talking to someone and halfway through it some reason I just went whatever. I don't know why I do it but um >> well whatever whatever the score will be it will be. Hopefully it's a good one.
>> Even you're happy now ain't you girl?
>> Yeah that was a good goal. That was very good.
>> 42 brilliant or whatever like that and you get warm.
>> Yeah. I'm sorry.
>> Oh, the magic has begun.
>> How many points you get?
>> Three.
>> Oh dear.
>> Do they get >> thing is like people that watch if they're watching this vlog? I don't think they will. Many people will watch it cuz it's just us watching football really. But it's been a big part of our day, isn't it really? Today it's been on your mind. It's been on your mind even though it's not really happened. You'd be thinking like, "Tonight, tonight, tonight's tonight." Well, I have anyway.
>> No.
>> Well, it's England's first game, so obviously. Yeah, it's um >> I knew I could be sitting down to watch it.
>> Yeah, I haven't been like all day long thinking about it.
>> Oh, no. I have. I don't know why. And I'm not a big football person sort of thing. I know nothing about football.
When I was younger, I used to sort of like, no, I like football. But then I sort of like just drifted away. But the World Cup is the only thing we really watch, isn't it?
>> Yeah. Yeah. You won't watch any other.
>> No. No. So, um, apologies if you're watching this and you're now normal people that watch us. It's just us watching sort of, um, football, but we are having a a great time.
>> England are actually winning, >> which is unbelievable.
>> And there it is. 42 bay. 42.
>> 42.
>> 42.
>> Good game. Good game.
>> Good game. Good game. And it was just a little video this one, wasn't it, Cal?
Nothing special. No, >> no, not at all.
>> Carol got a bit sort of carried away there. I was pretty calm over there in my little chair, wasn't I?
>> No comment.
>> But um yeah, it's just just getting into the World Cup. We ain't going to be doing no more of these ones. Okay, just in case you think, "Oh my god, I don't want to see that no more." But um thank you for watching. I'm putting this one in just before the last two from Grand Canary, which is uh the one after this where we went to the prettiest place in Gran Canaria, didn't we? By >> Yeah. And then it's travel day home and then there'll be more of um around here and what we're getting up to. All we really learned today is the fact that England can play. England football team can play, which um I had my doubts about it and I think most of us did. And also that we're going to get a new sofa.
which is y' been on your phone all the time looking. Have >> a look. We need to go and look.
