Hello and welcome to 30 old 30 young, a podcast where vintage jumpers and cool jumpers are in.
Speaker 2:Yes, they are. What's this? Thanks, Jake, for mine. What was it, Timo?
Speaker 1:No, it's actually a very high-end couture jumper that you wear Bit gage, bit gang, didn't? Cost £4 at all. Is that what?
Speaker 2:it was Bargain, I know.
Speaker 1:We're celebrating Charlotte Gautier. Is that called a cappuccino, the Italian stovetop espresso maker?
Speaker 2:I mean, I know, I'm half Italian these days.
Speaker 1:Of course Three quarters.
Speaker 2:I have no idea.
Speaker 1:I think, I think it's. There must be a catchier name than stovetop espresso maker.
Speaker 2:But either way, charlotte got one and I was taking the mick while she was making one Coffee machine and you made a blinding cappuccino, to be fair, I know, and I feel really bad because, yeah, I should have got the milk instead to do another one.
Speaker 1:No, it's fine, it's fine. You know, if I have it every time, then I'll get bored of it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's true, it's got to be a treat.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. So I got the jumper to celebrate, and then this one is just for fun. But yeah, today we are going to design the perfect, in our opinion, country.
Speaker 2:We are indeed so mad that I've literally 15 minutes ago, would you say Right, or is it half an hour ago? When did you arrive?
Speaker 1:About half an hour ago.
Speaker 2:Is it half an hour ago?
Speaker 1:I know, time flies when you, I know.
Speaker 2:Literally fast asleep.
Speaker 1:You have bounced back quite nicely.
Speaker 2:I have my little nap done and I'm ready to go Full of you have bounced back quite nicely.
Speaker 1:My little nap done and I'm ready to go full of energy is it like a wired energy where? It's like you're still I'm good in dream state are you good?
Speaker 2:no, I'm good.
Speaker 1:I'm like pumping speaking of dream state because I know that ah, the weirdest thing happened I can't wait to tell you the. Just a little preface on this. Um, charlotte has mentioned we do a lot of planning for this podcast, surprisingly, and Charlotte has mentioned this dream more than any of the planning this week, so it better be a good one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it blew my mind.
Speaker 1:It's so bizarre. Is it going to blow my mind?
Speaker 2:Probably not. No, you're going to be like what?
Speaker 1:I'm going to be like, and we'll cut that from the podcast.
Speaker 2:Yeah, go on, then I'm ready Right. So yesterday, the other morning, I woke up, but just before I woke up early hours of the morning, I don't know what time it was. Probably I reckon it was between 5 and 7 am our time.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:In my dream I was lying in bed, the sun was shining outside and there's an earthquake. I can see the lights moving, the bedside table moving, and it felt that real that when I woke up I went on Facebook to have a look if it actually happened. Okay, first, thing I see breaking news earthquake in Thailand and I worked out and I think it was the same sort of time I was dreaming there was an earthquake. How weird is that?
Speaker 1:Okay, that is weird.
Speaker 2:That is actually, that is weird, that is actually, that is weird, so weird. You just had a really little local quake, no tiny one, under your house, and don't get me wrong, it wasn't like a scary earthquake in my dream. It was perfectly fine. But the first thing I thought when I woke up that earthquake and it looks like did that actually happen and you and I saw that it was thailand earthquake yeah, okay, that is, that is weird and I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 1:I thought because usually dream stories aren't, they don't never really link to the real world and I thought, oh, brilliant traveling episode work that in fantastic yeah I wanted to tell you about con list of traveling.
Speaker 2:I wanted I wanted to tell you about that but I couldn't because I literally I went on to my team's call that morning with my team and I was like you never guess what. This is really weird. And I told them and they were just like that is really weird and I was like I know what's her name?
Speaker 1:you were just talking about the blind, is it Baba?
Speaker 2:Yaga, oh yeah, is that me, oh right no. Okay, let's crack on with this episode.
Speaker 1:So the main aim of this episode is to create the perfect country, in our opinion, out of the food, the things to do, the weather, the men or the women, depends which way you go. And the fifth category is Dun dun dun oh cocktail Beautiful yes. And the fifth category is dun dun dun oh cocktail beautiful yes. So I didn't want to merge food and drink together because I thought if you have all of one food, you want to have a little play around somewhere else. So, and the whole point is to you take yeah, you're taking all these categories and making the best, however, rules, because we love rules here.
Speaker 1:I don't, I don't fucking hate them well, yeah, you still stuck with them, though, so I'm proud of you. The rules are you have to have been to this place None of this Googling being like top 10 cocktails and you have to have. Oh, you can't repeat.
Speaker 2:You cannot repeat your country, because I don't want you saying Italy, Italy, Italy.
Speaker 1:Italy, Italy, Italy, Italy. So yeah, so once you've burnt Italy On Italian men, Then you can't have it for food. So, who's starting Is it?
Speaker 2:me or is it you? You go first. I'll be kind, I'll be polite, alright, I'm going to start with the food you know. Can I guess what you think it would be? Yeah, go for it. Food Italian no Greek. Food Italian, no Greek no fuck knows Japanese.
Speaker 1:Oh well, yeah, this won't land with you because you don't like fish. But I'm having sushi that would be my idea of how the Japanese know their way around all the meats. So I'll be in. You know, it's perfect for me. And they love a veg or two and I love a noodle, so I've got the wagyu beef. You know, I've got all the sushi, perfect.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:They do a great sandwich as well. Big sandwich culture in Japan.
Speaker 2:What like proper?
Speaker 1:I fucking love a sandwich.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, like a proper roll and stuff Like a proper sandwich.
Speaker 1:Well, they do it differently Like you go to like Buzz. They've got their Japanese meal deal.
Speaker 2:Have they, but it'll be elevated. Yeah, like what I'd go there now if they could do good sandwiches.
Speaker 1:They do a crack they're known for, like their egg sandwiches and stuff like that. Oh.
Speaker 2:I love an egg sandwich.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, like with a. I know we're live every day for lunch. I know you love an egg. Yeah, which still blows my mind.
Speaker 2:I didn to talk about the bad thing, I just didn't see you as an egg tie. Yeah, well, I went to a farm once and you had to put yourself off and I saw a chicken me born. I said no, where they come from? Like, put me off about six months. Couldn't eat eggs then. But we'll move on because it will put me off. I don't want to talk about, I don't want to think about it either but yeah, so I reckon the japanese will be absolutely perfect.
Speaker 1:Okay, and then the weather. So I'm. I'm sat outside a restaurant. I'm having wagyu beef seven different ways.
Speaker 2:And it's Greek weather, oh, greek weather.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, lovely.
Speaker 1:Because they do have their colder periods, but it's not like bitter.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like a nice warm it's manageable.
Speaker 1:But then when they have it sunny, it's not. Oh God, I'm going to die in this heat. This is the worst thing ever. Yeah, have it sunny, it's not oh god, I'm gonna die in this heat.
Speaker 1:This is the worst thing ever. Yeah, and that that's like the perfect. It's the perfect beer weather as well. Oh, some of the best beers I've ever had have been greek. You know it's piss beer, for the most part because I'm drinking. You know I've been on a holiday, so we're drinking the cheapest beer you can get because it's in greek what's?
Speaker 2:because the weather and the sun's shining down. I haven't dreamed about this past couple, past couple of days. All I want to do is sit outside and drink a glass of wine.
Speaker 1:It has been lovely the past few days, so I just think that is perfect. This is where I think I might lose you.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:The things to do category.
Speaker 2:Oh, oh, oh. No, you've not been to New Zealand.
Speaker 1:Why is? Oh yeah, I haven't been to New Zealand Otherwise.
Speaker 2:Well, to pretend you had been there and say New Zealand, then no Good, because I'm going to kick off at mine. Why? What is it? It's England. Things to do in England.
Speaker 1:I mean no, but think right.
Speaker 2:No, I'm joking, I've got my thought process with this right. Okay.
Speaker 1:So I'm bringing. I've got Japanese food, yeah. So imagine my Japanese inspired Sunday lunch at the pub right. Imagine every weekend is a beer garden weekend imagine oh yeah, imagine, how the towns and cities of england will just expand and grow, if beautiful you know people didn't flock there for two weeks of the year. They went there most weekends.
Speaker 2:It wouldn't be as busy yeah spread over the year true, oh, it would just, that would be nice, just without the japanese food, you know well, the Japanese food there as well.
Speaker 1:But I think about all the places I drive through, that if I drive through on the odd sunny day, it's beautiful, it's lovely, but then I've been there the other 11 times of the year on my monthly rotation and they're all just grey and miserable.
Speaker 1:Where is it? North or south? The north, oh. I went one day. I had a lovely day and I sat out by the lakes, the seaside, because I had a customer to go see in Grimsby. Every time I've been there since gross, but that one time it was absolutely lovely, like it was the perfect weather. I thought if it was like this all the time it would just be nice. Grimsby wouldn't be like a butt of a joke. It would be like a lovely place to go.
Speaker 2:I do get it, because England is when you've got the weather, it's so much nicer. Yeah, I've been loving being here with this weather. Absolutely loved it.
Speaker 1:Football. When the football's on, like when the Euros are on the World Cup, when it's not in winter in Qatar, it's actually, yeah, good, beautiful, you get to do. It's actually, yeah, oh good, you get barbecues, yeah, all the time. God, honestly, yeah, oh so I just and you know, I know my way around the place, so it's going to be easy to easy to you know work it all out. So that is what? Oh, that's not my phone. That is why I've landed. I'm not gonna. I thought you're gonna have a. Have more of a go at me.
Speaker 2:No, because I I told you, the day I'm changing, charlotte is changing. Because sometimes I listen to an episode, right, and I'm like, obviously the pre-record. And then I'll listen to another pre-record of another episode, like two months later, and I'm like, oh, my ideas have changed about that already. Like I wonder about something which I can't talk about, okay, and I'm like, oh, my ideas have changed on that already. Oh, good and this is another thing. Oh, my ideas have changed on that already. Oh good, and this is another thing.
Speaker 1:As soon as we record, it's dated.
Speaker 2:It's dated, it's old news.
Speaker 1:Well, that's what that allows us to keep revisiting topics. We never run out of things to talk about. Good stuff.
Speaker 2:And I'm topping this all off, yeah.
Speaker 1:And this might be a waste because I've got my wildcard category after this oh, it's a wild card, oh, no, it's after.
Speaker 1:You can pick your own, so you can throw something into your country that you think is going to take it to the next level. Right, okay, right Okay. So I was torn here? Yeah, because I love this drink, but I want to keep it for my wild card. Right Okay, I'm having a. I never can pronounce it and I feel like a twat ordering it, but this is how much I love it. Right, because, even though I can't pronounce it, I'll still struggle through to order a caipirinha. A caipirinha, is it a caipirinha?
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:There's like another syllable somewhere, and they Capiana, capiana, what's it called?
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:Which I thought was from Brazil. So I was like I can't have it.
Speaker 2:I've been to Brazil. I do know what you want. Is it Mexican?
Speaker 1:No, it is Brazilian, but it's by way of Portugal, because obviously they speak Portuguese in Brazil, but the Portuguese came with it. So luckily I got in there, snuck in with a Portuguese cocktail. So I'm going to go Lisbon on this one, it's Kyprina.
Speaker 2:What is it? A beer or a cocktail? It's a cocktail Cocktail.
Speaker 1:And it's so good, so crisp, and it will do damage. The other one I was going to have is a gin-based cocktail. Right but it's gin with, I think, two other alcohols, so it's an all-alcohol cocktail with a bit of lemon juice in it.
Speaker 2:It's called an Aviation. Do you like it with the egg yolk in it?
Speaker 1:I've never done an egg yolk in a cocktail. No, but people do, do it, not in all of them Not in all the cocktails, they do it in a certain one, right Isn't? It like a.
Speaker 2:I've seen quite a few of them.
Speaker 1:No, but I mean like there's one where it's the main one. Is it like a white Russian where you chuck an egg in?
Speaker 2:it. I don't know, but it's gross.
Speaker 1:Is it egg white or is it egg white? Egg white, that's it. It's egg white. It's not the whole yolk in there, no, it's white.
Speaker 2:But still it's so disgusting.
Speaker 1:I just think I'm probably going to have a bad night if that egg doesn't sit. Yeah the aviation, but that's from New York City and I couldn't take New York City. Yeah, and I realised I still can't.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so it's not really a capital. No, it's not, so I was going to take it as my capital city Right.
Speaker 1:So my wild card, so I can cheat a little bit here.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's just going to be a major city that I can have as my capital. Yeah, and I'm in England. Then, because I've made England, london's gone and it's just New York City, so you're driving, you drive around the M25 and you turn into Brooklyn yeah, you know, yeah, london, see ya, you can keep it. I love New York oh, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I do love London.
Speaker 1:Japanese inspired New York with lovely weather, japanese deli yeah, it would be cool.
Speaker 2:It would be cool. I mean, I don't know how much I miss America.
Speaker 1:There'd have to be some synergy to work it all out. There's some kinks, for sure, but I just think what a country that is, my little blob of land with Greek weather. Yeah, portuguese cocktails. Yeah, japanese food, italian women- yeah and I can caveat Bree is of Italian heritage she is so it's okay. Yep it's fine, I'm not being a creeper. Plus it gives me an excuse to learn the language.
Speaker 2:Yeah, which you've been saying for a while. Yeah, yeah, so have I. So I can't say anything.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, but yeah, that is my country. Oh nice. Yeah, I think that's a lovely place that people would come visit. What music would? Oh, okay, Okay. So I need to think here because I can't use one. I've already used Music-wise. Then I would have. Oh God, that's hard, that's really. I've written off so many places because I'm like, oh, I'll have a little bit of, I'll have a little bit of yeah. Who would I have? I can't have French music.
Speaker 2:I know what I'd have have you got music as your wildcard no, I haven't.
Speaker 1:I just probably a bit jamaican, you know you got steel drums and, yeah, a bit of like yeah with the sun that sits nicely as well. Yeah, okay, okay well, I haven't been to jamaica, so oh shit, neither have I.
Speaker 2:Oh, you can't have, it doesn't exist in your country, it in your country. What about Barbados? Have you been?
Speaker 1:to Barbados? Yeah, well, then you can have. I think they've got steel drums there too. I love Barbados you've got Bajan music.
Speaker 2:Bajan music, you've got.
Speaker 1:Rihanna exactly there you go, you've got what are you going? To do Scandinavia. I'm going to take Sweden.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, they do some good ones, I like. Scandi Pop love a bit of Scandi Pop. Yeah, they do do good. I got ABBA then, yeah.
Speaker 1:I got all those one-named women that came out Aurora, astrid they're all Scandi based.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know if they're all Swedish.
Speaker 1:They are good, but we'll just have kyprina in the greek sun. Oh, kyprana, kyprina. Okay, so you are actually. This is going to make mine more difficult, because you were actually very nice to all of my choices, so I can't get all head up and be like no wrong, stupid, oh sorry, I should have probably said a bit more mean, but no, it's fine, you're welcome, because, oh god, I feel like you said yes you're allowed to visit.
Speaker 2:Right food.
Speaker 1:What do you reckon Ag Italian?
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely, Pizza, pasta, olives cheese.
Speaker 1:Yes, Mediterranean.
Speaker 2:Good vegetables, oh, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Someone's non has cooked you up a massive pasta.
Speaker 2:If you finish it and they say come on.
Speaker 1:Get some fat on those bones. Give you another serving.
Speaker 2:Could just live on it now. Things to do. Okay, america, see I nearly You've got everything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I think it's a.
Speaker 2:Literally everything.
Speaker 1:It feels like. You've got tornadoes to chase, okay Mountains to climb Weird first choice Of all the things that are in America.
Speaker 2:I'd chase some tornadoes you've got everything to do. There's so much to do. I knew you weren't from.
Speaker 1:America, but it feels like a bit of a cheat absolutely no, because it's the truth. It's got so much? I suppose they are just one country you can do everything.
Speaker 2:You can go to Hawaii and swim with whales yeah, I mean that sounds terrifying to me, but yeah, you could do that. Yeah, I'm scared of vision. No, whales don't kill you. I don't think they need to.
Speaker 1:But they're just so well the killer ones do, because it's in the name, I think they they go for you, but I think the big boys just accidentally just fuck you up, you know yeah, but honestly I really wish I could just take a year off and just say well, I'm just gonna go traveling and just go to this and the other be other.
Speaker 2:It'd be brilliant.
Speaker 1:I mean, you could it. Just your life will be in tatters when you get back. That's the problem, isn't it?
Speaker 2:Not really. Oh, anyway, you're like hang on.
Speaker 1:Okay, I nearly went for America. I did, but I just thought is it? But yeah, if you Because, let's face it, your country can be whatever size you want it to be you take an American, you're condensing it down, You're taking all the good parts.
Speaker 2:You've got everything. You've got skiing Everything.
Speaker 1:You look to your right, you've got skiing. You look to your left you've got the beach.
Speaker 2:Exactly, yeah, same.
Speaker 1:Which one?
Speaker 2:did you have for things today, england?
Speaker 1:Oh, fucking hell what's weird on mine is that for some reason, pubs did the heavy lifting on my choice pubs, pubs. I'm not a big pub guy, but it's the idea of being in a place without a pub makes me miss them. You've got bars.
Speaker 2:You've got beach bars. I do like a bar that is way better than a pub, a beach bar yeah, I already regret my decision. You know how you just said you know, if I was on the X Factor right now, I'd be pressing that weird X Factor.
Speaker 1:I just go on and talk about my favourite countries, but you know how you just said, I listen back to the records and I go. I've already changed my mind about that that's me right now shit okay, fine America. Yeah, you may have trumped me on that one, you've got everything well intended weather.
Speaker 2:Let's go back to weather. Weather, yes. I mean, I've got everything. Oh ha Pun intended. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha. Weather. Let's go back to weather. Weather, yes.
Speaker 1:I mean, what's stumping you here, is it?
Speaker 2:you don't want it to be hot all the time because you like your coats and shoes, yeah, yeah, so I'm kind of a bit stuck. Right now I'd probably say no, I couldn't say that because it'd be too hot all the time. What are we gonna say?
Speaker 1:Barbados no, I was thinking like Thailand okay, but it's muggy it's quite muggy yeah but then would you just get used to it exactly but do they have an off season in Thailand, or is it hot or no? It's so close to the equator, isn't it?
Speaker 2:yeah, yeah so it's not like you get the cold seasons where you can't put your coat on, which I do love.
Speaker 1:I love a coat I've got. I mean you can travel outside of your perfect country.
Speaker 2:You know you're not stuck there yeah, I know, but you want to be able to have that time in the year where you can put a coat on.
Speaker 1:So the other day.
Speaker 2:I went to the park to see my friend. It was because the dog's dying, so she took it to the dog park, just like she hired a field out to have all doggy friends over. But it was freezing, everyone was so cold. But obviously charlie's got five coats in the boot handing my coats out. Hat sound, I love I do. I know, let's not think about it. No, um, but yeah, I had.
Speaker 1:You don't even like dogs it's still sad, though, the idea of that, because I remember once I saw a video. It was like my dog's being put down, you know, in a week, and so I've given him the best day and he's making a mistake, and I was just like Jesus don't want to think about it let's carry on.
Speaker 1:Well, you brought it up. Wow, I know, but yeah so I do like a coat. You love a coat, yeah, so I didn't think this was going to be the question that was going to stump the rest, come on.
Speaker 2:I did have something for weather, but I forgot what it was.
Speaker 1:You like a season, so you're going to be somewhere in Europe. Surely, like Spain has cold at times, france has warm and cold there you go.
Speaker 2:I'll do one of them. Which one's about?
Speaker 1:don't cop out, you gotta, you gotta cold oh, you've already used Italy, because Italy would be probably good for this. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Italy's perfect because you know Milan's a bit colder, you get your cold spells yeah, but you, you love yeah. Australia yeah, that's the weather, of course. That's what I was about to say, because you've been Australia's the weather, australia, there you go. They've got their off season perfect they've got seasons yeah, you love a season, there we go.
Speaker 1:I can skip them. I skip the crap ones.
Speaker 2:Keep with the summer all year, yeah, but it's nice to have balance a little bit. Everything to life needs balance, maybe a jumper at night.
Speaker 1:That's my kind.
Speaker 2:I'd love being on the sofa with a blanket.
Speaker 1:Although I could still have it with the air con on. Yeah, you could.
Speaker 2:I'll go for Australia because you've got.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think Australia's better.
Speaker 2:You've got it.
Speaker 1:yeah, You've got Australian weather, but without all the animals trying to kill you Perfect.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's not even that bad. Trust me, Men, women. Obviously I can't do the US, can't do Italy.
Speaker 1:Oh, can't do Australia.
Speaker 2:I might go England.
Speaker 1:No, but you're here and you're in England now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you don't like them out here. Yeah, it's true actually.
Speaker 1:I do like a bit of a different that's mad to pick the ones that are already here now. I know I picked it for things to do, but that's because I like my comfort.
Speaker 2:No, come on. No, I would say English.
Speaker 1:Don't have English. I'm going to say English are so boring, yeah, but it's not no, they are. I know a load of English blokes. We're all boring, fuck. We can't come up with different things to do, so we'll pick.
Speaker 2:England. The Hugh Grant's, even though he's really old now and doesn't really play the Pope. But the Hugh Grant's, they don't exist. No, they do they do.
Speaker 1:well, I turn into a version of him whenever I go to the States. You know, and I'm around, oh, and everyone's like, oh, you've got to be a bumblebee like oopsie daisy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but they're not doing that anymore, are they?
Speaker 1:No, but something's changing about.
Speaker 2:America, wasn't you who told me this the other day.
Speaker 1:Well, the novelty's wearing off because it's we're less unknown. Now it's not like it. Can you say this? Can you say that? Can you say this?
Speaker 2:You know, I was going to say Irish, yeah.
Speaker 1:The Irish yeah.
Speaker 2:But then they're drinkers, aren't they?
Speaker 1:I don't really like a drinker, no, but I think they drink, but they can handle their drink Different Because you've got the nations where they get absolutely pissed up and they're a nightmare.
Speaker 2:Like I know, I've got a married family, but the Americans yeah, but I wouldn't want to be with someone who goes to the pub most nights. That's just like such a turn off. You've got to give them a reason to stay home.
Speaker 1:What You've got to give them a reason to stay home.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, but that really is what I was saying. I'll cut that out? No, because that's why I was wrong with that it sounded dirtier than I intended it to. I mean.
Speaker 1:I'm not saying it has to be, but, like you know, I could go to the pub every night, but I don't want it, you know, because I've got better things at home yeah, exactly, yeah.
Speaker 2:That's the thing I like home but the Irish?
Speaker 1:are you picking the Irish? Okay, I'll go, the Irish At least. Then you've got I don't know about that, I'm probably going to offend the Irish here. At least you've got like England, you're near. No, I'm not even going to say that, because it would probably.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I quite like an olive skin.
Speaker 1:Well then, what the fuck are you in England? Why have you picked England? I love English guys, but with olive skin that speak Italian.
Speaker 2:That's what I after a little caveat Get a Spaniard, then Get a Portuguese geezer. I mean Norway, norway, do some quite good looking guys.
Speaker 1:They do. It's from all the pillaging back in the day. It's from the Vikings that is there you go, wildcott.
Speaker 2:Oh, no cocktail.
Speaker 1:Cocktail. So you'd landed on. Norwegian men.
