[00:09:08]>> Oh yeah. and and say just say hi to all the coolers and that's good for everybody then >> but they didn't like it >> cuz they like the chat. Well, I know I get on, they say hi to me and I say hi back.

[00:09:20]>> When I'm on somebody else's, I always feel like uh if if I say hi back to everybody who said hi to me, I'm just taking over the feed, you know, but that's just me. But um that's cuz I've got a channel, you know, and it looks like I'm needy, you know?

[00:09:34]>> Okay.

[00:09:34]>> But no, I think the guys love it them doing themselves. So, but h yeah, I do like it like that. But when it's like tonight, for instance, when it's like thousands of things, people >> then sometimes I miss stuff and especially when Webbby sort of bullies me into doing QQS.

[00:09:48]>> Oh, I know. Webby is uh >> Uhhuh. I've got to set that thing up again tonight where um where if somebody writes QQ that it sends me an email.

[00:09:57]>> Oh, it could do that.

[00:09:58]>> Well, no, I wrote a program.

[00:09:59]>> Oh, you wrote a bank. Okay. So, program.

[00:10:01]So, the they send you email about the question they asked or or >> No, they just write in here QQ then ask the question, right? And then it it the the thing monitors the chat in the background and anything that begins with QQ it packs it up, puts it in a Gmail and sends it to me.

[00:10:17]>> So how many do you get then? You all >> Yeah. Well, if as long as somebody writes QQ, it does it.

[00:10:23]>> Okay. But each each Q is a separate email.

[00:10:26]>> Uh I'm not sure. Uh it sends it every minute. So it might do all those QQ's that were in that minute.

[00:10:32]>> Okay.

[00:10:33]>> It might I'll have to test that actually cuz I only had ever tested it with one.

[00:10:37]But it's pretty good. I mean, if you just go into scripts, s cr i p.google.com, script.google.com, right? Go.

[00:10:48]And all the scripts that you've written >> are in here. Okay.

[00:10:52]>> Because you're logged into Google, right?

[00:10:53]>> Right. Right.

[00:10:54]>> Uh, and I've got one. It's called Q.

[00:10:57]And if you press it and you get a code, which is already on, then it shows you the code of the uh of the script. And all I got to do is to change that top line to be this feed.

[00:11:18]>> Oh, okay.

[00:11:19]>> So, what I got to do, I got >> each feed's different or it's the same.

[00:11:22]>> Each feed has got a different ID. Okay.

[00:11:24]Right. So, what I go in here is I um I uh Oh, cool, dude.

[00:12:32]>> So, I'm going to go here and I'm going to share this and copy and then go into notes cuz I got to get out the string.

[00:12:41]Well, I might actually write a script to do that automatically.

[00:12:43]>> So, what what programming language?

[00:12:46]>> Um, uh, Google script.

[00:12:47]>> Google script.

[00:12:48]>> It's like a Google script. Yeah, it's probably like a Python or something like that. Okay. But I didn't write it. I just told chat GPT to write it for me.

[00:17:02]>> Yeah. Okay.

[00:17:04]>> The French suites. Talking about French.

[00:17:06]There was a guy and he had um an Insta 360 X5 360° camera. And he was traveling from Manchester to Casam Casion in France or wherever he was. I can't remember the name of it.

[00:17:21]and uh he went out there, did his thing, and on the way back the security wouldn't let him board the plane with his selfie stick. It's an extended selfie stick. It's probably about that big. It's probably about that fat.

[00:17:33]>> And then it extends to 3 m, you know.

[00:17:35]So, it's >> Yeah, but he didn't have it extended. He just had >> No, no, he just had it and it was in his bag in his carryon.

[00:17:40]>> His carry on >> cuz he he was only traveling with a carryon.

[00:17:43]>> So, what happened was they said, "No, you can't do that. It could be a weapon, >> you know, >> and uh anyway, so you either leave it or check it into into, you know, regular luggage, >> but it was Ryan Air, so you'd have had to pay 50 odd 50 for that >> for that. So he said, I might as well buy a new one. But no, they're aboutund I thought.

[00:18:05]>> So I don't know what he did, whether he left it or whether he checked it or whatever. But I was reading some of the comments and one of the comments was that's not true. You go on to TSA and it allows selfie sticks, right?

[00:18:16]>> There's a list of things that they allow in Islam.

[00:18:19]>> What's TSA?

[00:18:20]>> Uh, transparent security.

[00:18:22]>> Yeah. What is it? Where? What country is it from?

[00:18:24]>> Well, United States.

[00:18:25]>> And that's that. What's that got to do with with um with France [laughter] and Manchester?

[00:18:31]>> Good question.

[00:18:31]>> You know, so and I thought this guy just thinks the America's the universe. Is that is that prevalent?

[00:18:38]>> It's it's uh I I agree. Many Americans think everything's surrendered around America. They don't think there's any other cultures around. Music is only American music and everything is just centralized in America.

[00:18:51]>> But the the question isn't the question isn't sort of pointing and laughing, right? The question is why is that?

[00:18:58]>> I just in I just that people don't know anything about other parts of the world.

[00:19:02]So what do you get you get is do you get indoctrinated rather than educated or I mean I don't mean that as a nasty thing but what is it like I know that you you got to pledge the allegiance to the you know the flag >> every morning school and um oh private schools you don't have to do it >> well I don't know it depends on their charter they may or may not yeah >> okay uh and at home schooling you can do what you want you do what you want Maybe they do. Maybe they won't.

[00:19:33]>> Yeah. I I don't even know if I know it by heart. Yeah. I pledge allegiance to the flag >> of the United States and for the something public. Yeah. I'd have to think about it.

[00:19:42]>> My daughter did that for 5 years.

[00:19:45]>> Oh. In Virginia.

[00:19:46]>> In Virginia.

[00:20:13]>> Oh, America.

[00:20:14]>> Yeah. They don't do diversity course in Germany. [laughter] >> I was doing a diversity course in America. And everybody had to do it because there were so many different cultures working there. German and whatever, you know, and Texans.

[00:20:27]>> Yeah. Yeah. They're different.

[00:20:28]>> And um and so we all had to do this and um so how to deal with minorities and all that, you see, you know, and I said, "Wow, yeah, thank you for that." They want me thank you. I said, "Yeah, for bringing my plight to um to the four, you know, I'm I'm a minority."

[00:21:20]>> In in definition, I guess. And I said, "So, >> it isn't." I said, "Because the western hemisphere starts in London if you if you look at zero longitude, right?"

[00:40:53]>> No. No. [laughter] >> So, the thing is if you want to move though, >> yeah, >> it's there's a little bit of paperwork involved.

[00:41:01]>> Okay.

[00:41:01]>> Like if you want to move your residence, like if we wanted to say we want to go to Madrid, >> right?

[00:41:05]>> To move our residence, I think it would be uh they don't make it easy for you.

[00:41:10]>> Oh, no.

[00:41:11]>> No. So if you wanted to sell that and buy one next to me, the new one of the new ones that being uh congas got this.

[00:41:20]>> So I Oh, >> it's one of those where they put the gas in themselves.

[00:41:23]>> Oh, okay.

[00:41:24]>> So it's the same water. They just put >> They just put it in.

[00:41:26]>> They just put it in for me.

[00:41:27]>> So to to buy it here on the island, I think it might be a little bit easier.

[00:41:32]>> Uhhuh.

[00:41:33]>> But I know definitely go to mainland. It would be a lot more because of the difference in tax regimen. Yeah. I I think there's some some more paperwork because of that.

[00:41:45]Yes. Yeah.

[00:41:47]>> So, Golden Vis, we did that one.

[00:41:49]>> Akiyaki is doing all the questions. If anybody wants to ask a question, just put Q in your question.

[00:41:54]>> No, I'm all I Anyone want to ask me about anything? I'm more than happy.

[00:41:57]>> Would you ever buy an electric car?

[00:42:00]>> Would I ever buy electric car?

[00:42:02]>> Well, Ford do electric?

[00:42:04]>> Huh?

[00:42:04]>> The Ford do electric?

[00:42:05]>> Oh, of course. Everyone did electric.

[00:42:06]Yeah, they had electric. They even got their big truck is electric, too.

[00:42:10]>> The F-150.

[00:42:11]>> Ford 150 Lightning.

[00:42:13]>> Okay.

[00:42:13]>> Yeah.

[00:42:14]>> Lightning.

[00:42:14]>> Yeah. In theory, you could plug if your power if your house loses power, you could plug it in and light light up your house for like 3 hours.

[00:42:23]>> No. [laughter] So, could you turn the engine on and generate? Oh, there's no engine.

[00:42:27]>> No engine. What an >> idiot.

[00:42:29]>> But I would I ever buy I think without the infrastructure I would not buy.

[00:42:38]I mean, these days you can get uh charging stations put in your house.

[00:42:43]>> Well, you can put in the house. Yeah, it's um >> or just put two AA batteries in the back.

[00:42:50]>> You could do that. I I did an interview with the MacMaster on electric vehicles.

[00:42:54]>> You did? Yeah.

[00:42:55]>> Yeah. And really, >> check that out.

[00:42:58]>> Only one and a half% of American cars are electric.

[00:43:02]>> Yeah. I mean, in America, you're doing a lot longer distances. I mean, on the island here, I've rent I've rented an electric car and I can go around the island twice, you know.

[00:43:11]>> So, in America though, it's just if you want to go on a trip, it's hard to plan where there's charging stations. And at hotels, a lot of hotels might have two or three. And >> and obviously, it's a danger, you know, because if you've only got a few charging stations, then the criminals could just wait there because they know people who are renting or buying electric cars are [ __ ] So, >> that's a possibility, too. Yeah.

[00:43:31][laughter] So, I I think it's uh >> I shouldn't have said that on ears. You gotta be careful. You >> gotta be careful.

[00:43:38]>> Would you So, would you consider it, Tim?

[00:43:41]>> I want Well, I'm never going to buy another car because I can't afford it, but I want to um >> What's the word? Oh, Adam's Oh, he's watching. Adam. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:43:56]>> Okay. Adam.

[00:43:57]>> Um I wouldn't mind. I've actually uh Let's see if I can find it. Let's see if we can find it. Uh, search search for what's that VW uh EV bus. There we go. So, I got Chat GPT to write me a um uh what's it called? Uh a letter to send to Volkswagen.

[00:44:31]Uh where is it?

[00:44:35]Oh, wow.

[00:44:38]>> Okay.

[00:44:42]>> Now, mass transportation, I think that's a good place to have electric uh buses and everything, >> right? Right. Or or or transport trucks.

[00:44:50]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think that works better.

[00:44:53]>> Dear Volkswagen team, my name is Timothy D. Together with my wife Christina, I run a YouTube channel called Living with MS in Tenneref, which is ages ago. We are based on the tenery from our document where we document daily life, accessibility challenges, mobility solutions and the realities of living well with multiple scerosis in a real unscripted way. Our content focuses on independence, dignity, and adapting [music] to life, not just coping with illness. We are writing to explore whether Volkswagen consider partnering with us in supplying or loaning an electric Volkswagen bus such as an ID bus adapted for wheelchair access. Our aim is is simple but meaningful to show what accessible electric mobility looks like in everyday life on a real island used by real people, not actors or stage campaigns.

[00:45:35]Tenneref offers a unique environment for this story. Short daily driving distances ideal for electric vehicles, hills, towns, and coastal roads that reflect real world use. A strong mix of residents, retirees, and visitors with mobility needs. With a wheelchair adapted electric bus, we would create ongoing video blogs showing day-to-day accessibility travel, practical experience of electric mobility, honest independent coverage of what works and what doesn't. This would not be an advertorial series. Our audience values transparency and we believe that authentic storytelling is far more powerful than polished marketing. We are not requesting ownership. We are open to discussion around a long-term loan, a pilot accessibility project or a content collaboration focused on inclusive electric mobility. And for if this is of interest, we will be very happy to share viewing figures, audience demographics and examples of our work. Thank you for taking the time to read to this and ongoing commitment electric inclusive mobility. So I'm Timothy Dow living with Emmeris in Teneref Canary.

[00:46:33]>> This is sent to them when >> I didn't send it.

[00:46:36]>> Oh, you didn't send it? Well, are you going to send it?

[00:46:38]>> I don't know.

[00:46:39]>> Are you nervous about sending it? Yes.

[00:46:42]>> What makes it nervous for you?

[00:46:45]>> Uh, I don't know who to send it to to get to get the thing. And And it sounds I mean it sounds okay even having read it.

[00:46:52]>> And um >> I nearly bought a Volkswagen years ago.

[00:46:58]>> Uhhuh.

[00:46:58]>> Um >> while you're in Germany or here?

[00:47:00]>> When I was in Germany. Well, I got a company car and uh they allowed me to do anything. And I said, "Well, I wanted a a um a Volkswagen Caddy so I could get Christine's mobility scooter in the back, right?"

[00:47:13]>> And they said, "Okay." And I filled out all the paperwork and then the guy went, "Oh." I said, "What?" He said, "It's 4 years waiting list."

[00:47:22][sighs and gasps] So Tim, I noticed like with all the bureaucracies and everything there, there's probably one individual that's probably would be involved in that. It's just a matter of if you could find that person direct. You might have to just kind of throw out like a like a grenade and just have it spread across. And >> Oh, does does Ford have an electric bus that I can get a wheelchair in?

[00:47:46]>> They were trying to do that. It was a project called Cher uh Chariot.

[00:47:52]>> Chariot. Yeah.

[00:47:53]>> It failed.

[00:47:55]>> No. [laughter] >> Yeah. They were doing it in New York and everything. And uh now they have a van, the econoline, but I don't know if it's uh >> Oh, wow.

[00:48:06]>> So, we got to cut this up.

[00:48:07]>> We got to cut this up. Yeah.

[00:48:09]>> Yeah.

[00:48:09]>> We're just going to show everybody much.

[00:48:14]So, let's just uh swing this round.

[00:48:22]So, this ladles and jelly spoons is the Where am I going? Well, there we go.

[00:48:37]So, these are the pastrami and the pancakes. So, this Wow, this plate's massive.

[00:48:42]>> Wow. Wow. Wow.

[00:48:43]>> Oh, it's actually already cut. It's It's sliced into >> Oh, okay. So, we just have to Okay, just the pancake we have to >> So, that's the pastrami sandwich.

[00:48:57]And this is the pancake with butter.

[00:49:02]Thumb down. [laughter] And um let's get back to Mike.

[00:49:14]Um what do you want to try first?

[00:49:18]>> Probably a pancake.

[00:49:18]>> Pancake. There we go. Yeah, cuz I like it when it's >> very substantial these things.

[00:49:31]Yeah, you Okay, we got to You know what? I'll just go over here and I'll stand up and cut it so I get more leverage. No, >> it's one each.

[00:53:35]>> Oh, yeah. Okay. Thank you. Here you go.

[00:53:49]>> Alan's if you're asking if you're a Trump fan.

[00:53:51]>> Am I a Trump fan? Okay. [clears throat] I was um interested when he first was running for president back in 2015.

[00:54:04]>> Mhm.

[00:54:04]>> Cuz he was different [clears throat] >> and he wasn't as conventional as everyone else and the swamp.

[00:54:11]>> Yeah. He had some good ideas. And I think there was things that he did that were it wasn't bad. Okay. Was he perfect? No. But I guess I changed my tune when he lost the election in 2020 and the very next day he said they cheated.

[00:54:30]>> Okay.

[00:54:32]>> I don't you know he just the very next day oh they cheated and uh it's like u throwing his dummy out.

[00:54:40]>> Huh.

[00:54:40]>> Throwing his dummy out of the >> Yeah. And and >> throwing his pacifier out of the parameulator. And so he just uh I guess he's he's a he's a man that doesn't like to lose >> fair and square.

[00:54:53]>> So I am not in the last election I actually abstained from voting in America.

[00:55:00]>> Oh wow.

[00:55:01]>> Yeah.

[00:55:05]>> So and I think more people are >> he won by one vote, you know. [laughter] >> Okay.

[00:55:15]Did Mike vote for Trump? That was another one.

[00:55:19]>> How is Kia Starama perceived in the USA?

[00:55:24]>> Do you know who Karma is?

[00:55:26]>> Yeah, he's the prime minister.

[00:55:27]>> Okay.

[00:55:28]>> I I had to ask.

[00:55:30]>> Okay.

[00:55:31]>> Who's the prime minister of Spain?

[00:55:34]>> Phipe.

[00:55:36]>> He's the king.

[00:55:36]>> He's king. Okay. It's Pedro >> Sanchez.

[00:55:40]>> Sanchez. Yeah.

[00:55:41]>> Who's the president of the Canary Islands?

[00:55:43]>> I don't know that one. You know, if they ask you this and you don't know who the president is, >> they'll just assume that you're scenile and just walked you off. [laughter] >> So, Kier Starmer, I don't think Americans have an opinion on on on British u only only the king and his family.

[00:56:05]>> Mhm.

[00:56:05]>> I don't think anyone realizes who the prime minister is.

[00:56:08]>> No.

[00:56:10]>> Not important anyway.

[00:56:11]>> Yeah. Now, I don't want to have opinion.

[00:56:13]I hear from other people who are telling me things that he's not well received by the British people.

[00:56:25]But uh that's they have to settle that.

[00:56:32]The um next cuckoo is Uh, >> are you a trained car mechanic?

[00:56:48]>> Am I a trained?

[00:56:49]>> No, I'm not officially trained.

[00:56:51]>> No, >> I can do a few things.

[00:56:55]>> Uh, [clears throat] over the years it's gotten, you know, my dad taught me how to do lots of simple things.

[00:57:02]>> You're an ergonomic engineer for >> ergonomics. Yeah. So I I do the interior design and layout and ingress egress and the layout of uh of everything. So I designed for optim optimization of usability.

[00:57:16]>> Mhm.

[00:57:17]>> But my dad taught me my dad was a tool and die maker all his life.

[00:57:22]>> Okay.

[00:57:23]So I I learned some basics in that and uh but as an engineer [clears throat] I sat with other people [laughter] who really knew the ins and outs of cars and I learned so many different things about all the different components you know what dos and don'ts. So but for me to fix a car you need so many specialized tools and you sometimes you need a a lift and everything to get underneath it cuz otherwise going under there it's so hard. So, it's it's not the easiest thing to do on some of these cars. And they don't make cars easy to repair.

[00:57:57]>> No, just plug a computer in these days.

[00:57:59]>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. It It's just uh very difficult.

[00:58:04]>> I remember I had a mini a minivan when my first car was a minivan.

[00:58:10]Bought it in 1978 for 200 quid.

[00:58:15]>> Wow.

[00:58:16]>> And I used to have to go in and hit the starter motor with a hammer in the winter. Oh, is that right?

[00:58:20]>> Yeah, >> cuz it wouldn't >> wouldn't it wasn't wouldn't engage.

[00:58:26]Yeah.

[00:58:28]>> Has Mike seen the new Ford Capri electric? [clears throat] >> I haven't seen it in person.

[00:58:34]>> No.

[00:58:34]>> No. I uh I I've seen some videos that and it's uh it looks interesting. It's I guess there's one gripe. It doesn't fit the Capri uh the old time Capri design, I guess.

[00:58:49]But but um I have to talk to some colleagues who've been working on I haven't had a chance to, but uh they're hoping it's going to be a big seller.

[00:58:59]We'll see. I owned a a bright yellow Ford Capri with a black vinyl roof automatic for two days.

[00:59:11]>> Okay.

[00:59:12]>> I went and picked it up at the car secondhand. Went to pick it up at the car show. was a garage and uh signed the paperwork.

[00:59:21]>> Uhhuh.

[00:59:22]>> And took the car and uh called me up 2 days later and says, "Your finance has been um refused. You got to bring car back."

[00:59:33]>> 2 days later.

[00:59:34]>> Mhm.

[00:59:36]>> Wow.

[00:59:37]>> It wasn't a It wasn't a real car showroom. It was like [music] a garage in in Wales.

[00:59:42]>> No.

[00:59:42]>> That sold cars on the side.

[00:59:44]>> Now, how big is this? Like this was a hatchback version or what kind of >> No, the Capri was like a fastback type of thing.

[00:59:50]>> Okay.

[00:59:50]>> You know the Capri saw like thin at the back.

[00:59:52]>> Yeah.

[00:59:53]>> Yeah. And it had a black vinyl roof. So the back seats were like two door.

[00:59:57]>> Okay.

[00:59:57]>> So the back seats were really sort of like thing but I only I only drove it for two days and I have to give it back.

[01:00:03]>> So what were they finding wrong in your financial situation?

[01:00:06]>> I didn't have any money. I suppose >> me and a friend, we drove his Capri, a 1979 Capri from Detroit to Toronto for our first visit ever to Toronto.

[01:00:22]And it got great gas mileage and everything, too. And we were such well, we didn't have any kind of jobs.

[01:00:30]We went with $50 each and a full tank of gas. And we spent a night at one cheap motel outside Toronto. We took the GO train in the subway was 75 cents in Toronto. And coming back, we actually slept in the back of the Capri.

[01:00:48]>> Wow. [laughter] >> And then we used the train station there in this one city to uh you know wake him, wake up and take care of >> take care.

[01:00:56]>> So that was back in the day. Yeah. But we did the whole trip in 1979 for$100.

[01:01:01]>> How much was a tank of gas?

[01:01:03]>> Oh my gosh. I think gas was like 50 cents a gallon back then, >> you know. In in 19 97 when I arrived in Virginia, I think it was still under under a dollar a gallon.

[01:01:20]>> Yeah, >> I think it's still under a dollar a gallon.

[01:01:26]>> Yeah. And then going to Canada, we got about 20 28% exchange rate, too, cuz it was cheaper in Canada.

[01:01:33]>> All right. Canadian dollars.

[01:01:35]>> Yeah.

[01:01:35]>> Euro dollars.

[01:01:37]>> I should have brought one.

[01:01:39]>> All the Canadian currency is uh it's all plastic now.

[01:01:43]>> Mhm.

[01:01:45]>> And um I want to do a test. Maybe I shouldn't tell you. I'll bring one next time. I want to do a test. Okay.

[01:01:52]>> Okay.

[01:01:53]>> And I don't want to bias you now and see if you pass the test.

[01:01:58]>> Okay.

[01:01:59]>> Okay. Cuz you haven't ever seen Canadian money in a long time, right? I don't think I saw Canadian Money when I was in Canada.

[01:02:05]>> Okay.

[01:02:06]>> All right.

[01:02:08]>> Okay. So, we'll keep that in the back for viewers to watch.

[01:02:12]>> Okay. Oh, USA is playing in Seattle, so it's going to be 9 hours.

[01:02:16]>> No, 7 hours ahead.

[01:02:17]>> No, 5 plus 3 8 hours.

[01:02:19]>> Yeah, 8 hours. Yeah.

[01:02:20]>> No, they saw the game from um Egypt and Belgium. It was in Seattle, I think.

[01:02:25]>> Oh, they're actually behind, aren't they? America's behind.

[01:02:28]>> What's that?

[01:02:29]>> America's behind 8 hours. Well, 5 hours New York and 8 hours Los Angeles, right?

[01:02:38]Yeah.

[01:02:43]Is Webby back tonight? He is. Yes. He's looking forward to it. He put out a he put out a football show last night and he's got the horse racing tonight.

[01:02:59]Tips for the weekend.

[01:03:01]He's got some tips.

[01:03:02]>> Mhm. Has Mike seen the vlogger Jeff Buys Cars? MacM's mate.

[01:03:08]>> Who? Which which uh >> his channel's called? Jeff Buys Cars.

[01:03:13]>> Jeff Buys Cars. That's someone Mac Mc Macmaster knows.

[01:03:16]>> Yeah, good friends apparently.

[01:03:17][clears throat] >> I haven't seen him. I've seen, you know, Jeff Carter and Darren John's, but I haven't seen >> So, this gentleman does something with cars that he >> Well, he's he's mostly a car blog, I assume.

[01:03:31]buying cars.

[01:04:11]>> It does, but it's um it was the thought of the taste rather than the taste.

[01:04:19]>> I was more a pie and chips guy myself, you know. I love pie and chips.

[01:04:22]>> Mhm.

[01:04:24]>> But I had fish and chips. was Harry Ramston's in Blackpool, >> which is a famous fish and chip chain.

So when they were talking about submarines, they weren't they didn't have a word for it. So they just said the big fish in in the big pond or something like that. And the Germans couldn't figure out how all that worked together and everything. Got >> cuz even if they >> So but they never said anything for submarine. It was a big fish.

[01:15:29]>> Okay.

[01:15:29]>> Well, I got divorced and went to Germany.

[01:15:31]>> Oh.

[01:15:32]>> And so I sold everything. So I didn't.

[01:15:33]So that was 1980 83 to 85 I played golf and then next time I played golf I took it up when I went to America 97 >> and I played golf for the five years I was there.

[01:15:48]>> Okay.

[01:15:49]>> Um with the guys in the factory at the weekends we >> So Tim I guess it's 25 years since pastrami. So how many years since golf?

[01:15:57]>> That will be actually I played golf when I went back to Germany. I went and joined the um Reaganburg golf club. It wasn't the Reaganburg golf club, but it was the one near Reagansburg. It was actually where Adenau died, I think it was, you know, the the chancellor and um No, it wasn't Adenau, the Bavarian Chancellor. Anyway, it doesn't matter. So, it was a really old golf club and you had to buy in for five grand.

[01:16:23]>> Oh, I know. Some of those you have to pay a lot.

[01:16:25]>> Yeah, you have to buy in for five grand.

[01:16:26]>> And then there's annual fees >> and then there's annual fees which are also five [music] grand.

[01:16:30]>> Yeah. Yeah. I I know how they work. I I understand.

[01:16:32]>> Um but they this one summer the all the all the people that were members were dying because they were old guys >> and they wanted to get youngsters back in and they wanted new blood.

[01:16:43]>> So they did a schnuper course they call it which is like schnuper course is basically just to look in like a trial.

[01:16:51]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[01:16:52]>> And you got uh 10 lessons from the pro.

[01:16:55]>> Uhhuh. You got your platari puong and in Germany you have to take a test to see that you're not dangerous.

[01:17:03]>> Oh, okay. They're serious about it.

[01:17:05]>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, you [clears throat] have to take your platyp, which is a stamped >> thing. You can take it to any golf course and show it, [music] >> but uh they don't have municipal golf courses in Germany. So, you got to be a member or you got to be taken by a [music] member or you pay a green fee.

[01:17:20]>> Okay.

[01:17:20]>> Um but you've got to have this platform.

[01:17:23]So it was €250.

[01:17:27]>> Did it jump 50? Yeah, it was €250. So it was in the Euro era.

[01:17:30]>> Okay.

[01:17:30]>> So it's €250 and then you got the 10 lessons and then you could play for 3 months which is basically the summer.

[01:17:38]>> Right.

[01:17:38]>> Right. So I went and I paid €250 and that gave you full membership for the 3 months. So you don't have to pay green fees or anything. You go whenever you want. And um I took two lessons with a pro and he said you can play. I said I know. I said I just spent 5 years in America. [laughter] And uh and he gave me a I think he started me on 28 which is I think it's the highest handicap.

[01:18:04]>> Okay. It's not bad. It's >> he started me on 28 and I came down at 21.

[01:18:09]>> Okay.

[01:18:10]>> So I could do like uh I was I was given a uh I was given just over a shot a hole by a pro. That's I think the lowest I ever had was like 17 for handicap, but I that's >> I couldn't play to 21 mostly, but I got to 21.

[01:18:24]>> Well, how they do handicap, it's not an average.

[01:18:27]>> It's like your best five out of >> 14 or something. That's right. That's right.

[01:18:32]>> So, they take >> There's actually a There was actually a uh >> there's a formula I think >> formula they could use. Yeah. I never did it. I just put in my cards and they would give me the handicap and it didn't change every week or anything like that.

[01:18:41]>> No. No. It's it it takes your best five.

[01:18:44]Yeah. So that summer I played golf and that was when I got back 2021. Oh, so no 2020 2001 just we we came back from America just before 9/11.
