**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, people, big news. I'm on tour in Australia, but I couldn't wait to share the brand new studio and a brand new episode style with you. There's no rules, no structure, it's just me hanging out and bringing some friends with me. Enjoy the episode, see ya. What's that thing, there's a thing that people have where they hate the sound of like.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:31)
Misophonia, I have it real bad.

**Chris Williamson** (0:34)
No way.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:34)
Dude, if I hear you eat cereal next to me, I'll try to break your neck. It's the worst.

**Shaan Puri** (0:39)
Don't all women have this?

**SPEAKER_2** (0:40)
Excuse me?

**SPEAKER_4** (0:41)
Or every woman?

**SPEAKER_5** (0:43)
Every woman I've ever dated has had this.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:44)
Come the again?

**Chris Williamson** (0:47)
I saw this video of some guy that's got one of those big tubes, and it makes a, so that kills you.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:55)
It's worse, dude, like when people do the mukbangs with their microphones, the visceral rage. What's a mukbang? You know, they're eating into a JBL microphone.

**Chris Williamson** (1:06)
Who was the guy that sighed up to everyone? That's crazy. Who was the king mukbanger that sighed up to everyone?

**SPEAKER_2** (1:11)
Oh, Nikado Avocado.

**Chris Williamson** (1:12)
Yes, thank you. Did he die?

**SPEAKER_2** (1:14)
No, he lost like 200 pounds.

**Chris Williamson** (1:15)
No, he lost all of the weight.

**Shaan Puri** (1:16)
He lost all of the weight. Oh really?

**Chris Williamson** (1:16)
Yeah, he's like the inverse Joey Chestnut.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:19)
Yeah.

**Shaan Puri** (1:20)
Well, he ballooned. And then came back.

**Chris Williamson** (1:21)
And then undid it.

**Shaan Puri** (1:22)
Wow. But he got like peak fat and then had peak views on that one video of like, look what happened to my life.

**George Mack** (1:28)
And he was filming it all in the backdrop.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:31)
But he was losing weight the whole time, so the videos were old. And he was like crashing out and crying and obese. And then all of a sudden he just shows up. They just filmed all that. And he's like, hello, I have changed. It was the weirdest fucking video ever.

**Chris Williamson** (1:43)
Really like has on the back of your neck, this guy's maybe a psychopath, stand up type.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:47)
Like they cloned him for something.

**Chris Williamson** (1:49)
It was crazy. It was fucking wild. All right, what do you got?

**George Mack** (1:53)
I wanna hop straight in.

**Chris Williamson** (1:54)
I do. Show me what you've got.

**George Mack** (1:56)
Let me, I'll tell you, I'll give a story. Let me tell you a story about the worst phone call of all time. You have my interest. Okay. So it's, picture this, we're gonna go back to 1970s, Surrey in England. There's like a beautiful old farmhouse called Old Croft and a musician has just moved in and he's in a band and they've just had their first like top 40 song. So it's at that point of a musician's career where either this is like, we're about to take off or we had that like one blip and we're there. And he's just mortgaged like the most insane house for like his wealth size, like way above his income because he's betting on his future success. And he's like, this is the childhood sweetheart dream. He met his wife when they were 11 years old in drama class and they got two kids together. So they've moved into this house together. It was beautiful old farmhouse with the two kids and like he's managed to get the deal on it. So it's slightly cheaper than he can afford, but it's still way too expensive. But the whole thing needs a whole paid job. It's like the whole building needs a load of different work. Kind of like this stuff here, right? Shots fired. So he has to go on tour, go try and crack America to see if he can pay for this house. So he's kind of leaving the house, there's painters there that are doing everything up, and he's kind of saying goodbye to his family. And as he's saying goodbye, he doesn't know if this is going to be the last time he sees this house, or if this is going to be the new family home. So he goes on tour for a year.
And surprisingly, the tour goes really, really well. So he's basically going to pay for this mortgage. And at the end of the tour, he's having a phone call with his wife, and it's not going well. And she basically confesses, whilst he's been away, she's been having an affair. And like his heart just drops. He's like, who? So he starts thinking of whoever it's like, a singer or somebody else in the band. The guy she was having the affair with was the painter. He was paying for the house. So he just loses his mind. He ends up flying back from the tour, tries to win her back.
