Tim shares his upcoming adventure to EVO France, a major fighting game tournament, while Joey recounts his recent car troubles and the search for a new vehicle. The conversation takes a humorous turn as they discuss the frustrations of public transport and share their experiences at festivals, leading to a creative brainstorming session about unique festival ideas. In this lively conversation, Tim and Joey explore the absurdities of a fictional music festival, discussing headliners, food choices, survival strategies, and the logistics of hosting an event at a challenging location. They delve into the humorous and inconvenient aspects of festival planning, including outrageous food options and the potential for audience engagement. The dialogue transitions into Joey's own festival concept, 'Wem Bembo's World,' where they compare the two festival experiences, ultimately leading to a discussion on the financial implications and entertainment value of such events.

In this episode, Tim and Joey discuss various topics ranging from car troubles and birthday celebrations to music trivia and unique bars. They engage in a light-hearted pub quiz, explore national days, and share their thoughts on sports like hurling and shuffleboard. The conversation takes a turn towards unusual videos and animal ethics, before wrapping up with a discussion on weird history and political events. This conversation delves into the gas crisis of the 1970s, the rise of small cars, and the infamous Dale car scheme led by Elizabeth Carmichael. It explores the societal impacts of the gas crisis, the innovative yet ultimately fraudulent claims of the Dale, and the subsequent legal fallout. The discussion also touches on a lighter note with the Pie Gate controversy in football and concludes with an intriguing urban legend about Jorogamo, a spider woman from Japanese folklore, alongside a humorous segment featuring jokes.

Being one, I'm very aware of my fellow double d's out there in advertising.Dave Droga - met once, gave him a lift after judging D&AD together.Donny Deutsch - never met, seen him on Morning Joe though.David Denton - did a few ads with him at BMP, did Cointreau 'Ice melts', amongst many others.Don Draper – never met, seems cool.And Derek Day - less known than the first three, but well worth checking out.I'd hear his quotes on a regular basis back in the early nineties.My then writer, Mike McKenna, had worked for Derek twice, first at Ted Bates, then Butterfield Day Devito Hockney, and would regale me with 'war' stories.I was new to the business, so ate them up, desperate for clues on how it worked.Mike's most repeated was a version of this - "I showed him our campaign for (insert various campaign names here)...Derek pulled a face, like a bulldog chewing a wasp, pull a face, then said (insert various clever critiques here)... and the scales fell from my eyes”.In a sea of dumb, crass ads, Derek's work always seemed clever and considered.Often not criteria that wins big awards.They tend to go to flashy and different.If I had a brief and wanted to win an award, quite a few writers spring to mind, if it needed help to my family business grow, Derek's would spring to mind.Looking at his career, there's a whiff of Zelig* about it. (*You'll have to google it, soz.)Hired by Alan Parker to work at the best shop of the sixties - Collett Dickenson Pearce.Hired by John Webster to join arguably the best shop of the seventies - Boase Massimi Pollitt.(In part 2, we find he was also hired by David Abbott to join arguably the best shop of the eighties - Abbott Mead Vickers.)Then onto Doyle Dane Bernbach.Smith/Greenland in America, under futurist Faith Popcorn.Back to Blighty to become Creative Director at 25.Setting up a Cramer Saatchi-like creative consultancy for seven years, earning a ‘Seymour' when Geoffrey was still in short pants. (Again, I refer you to google.)Then taking a 75% pay cut to join new agency Wight Collins Rutherford Scott in an attempt to win creative awards.And that's just part one.We had a great chat, hope you enjoy it.

Lawds malarkey guv'nor, Blighty's popped its clogs. Americans have been hoovering up ‘UK doom' content ever since Elon Musk decided to push the grooming gangs scandal on X at the start of the year. On the inside, everyone understands the Notting Hill days are long gone. Only some have clocked that the Children of Men era is upon us.Now, with the banning of a viral ad for a crypto exchange describing the dismal state of the country, we're checking in on the dismal state of the country. Meanwhile, America is pushing India to cut its oil trade with Russia. Obviously, this will never have any bad second order consequences. Finally, having exposed their air defence nakedness in one wild weekend, the Iranians are in the market for a new system. And the news is they're going Ali Express. Can China succeed where their own engineers failed? Watch this underground bunker.

As always there are spoilers ahead! In 1951 Poland, during its Stalinist era, acclaimed science fiction writer Stanislaw Lem released his first book: The Astronauts. (He had already written the novel The Man from Mars which was serialised).   In 1960 The Astronuats would go on to become the basis of East Germany's ambitious communist sci-fi film Der schweigende Stern or The Silent Star. The script would go through 12 drafts before filming by which time Lem had removed his name from the project.  Although the script lacks focus it is full of historical and cultural significance and is a strong an indictment of why ideological control should not be asserted on the arts. The film is idealistic, looks great with some beautiful design and does not feature Christopher Nolan (link to Instagram post).  I have two top notch academics to discuss the film.  Sonja Fritzsche is a professor of German Studies and Senior Associate Dean at Michigan State University. She has also written/edited many books about science fiction.  Evan Torner is an Associate Professor of German Studies and Niehoff Professor of Film & Media Studies at the University of Cincinnati.   Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:53 Post Metropolis German Sci-Fi 09:50 East German filmmaking in 1960: DEFA, Kurt Maetzig & Utopian futures 16:34 The Bitterfelder Weg programme: the working class in the arts 18:50 The Polish influence: Stanislaw Lem, ideological space & the Polish October 24:31 12 drafts of the scripts: Too many cooks 29:24 Influences: Forbidden Planet, Woman in the Moon and If All the Guys in the World 32:03 The communist ideal in spaaaace! 38:32 Visual delights: Box office draw and Nazi Agfacolor 45:11 The stolen US edit: First Spaceship on Venus 47:15 Legacy, language and recommendations     NEXT EPISODE!

I am writing today's dispatch from Prague Airport, on my way back to Blighty.What a splendid city Prague is, and what a lovely bunch the Czechs are.It feels like this is still very much a high-trust society. Twice I left my bag in public places – full of very nickable laptop, passport and other gubbins – and both times I came back to find my bag untouched, but safely put to one side. At night the city felt safe. It was very clean – I actually started looking out for litter and I couldn't see any anywhere, whether in the centre or the suburbs, where I was staying. I always think litter – or lack thereof – is a good indicator of how much people really care about their surroundings, how loyal to and invested in their area they feel, and, indeed, how well brought up they are.The Czechs were lovely: polite, hard-working, respectful, full of ambition and drive, and good looking.The story is that Hitler went to university in Prague and loved the place that so much that, when the Nazis invaded in 1939, he ordered that the city should not be bombed but preserved. I heard the story last time I was here, and heard it again this time. But then I just fact-checked this story and apparently it is total rollocks - Hitler never went to university anywhere, nor did he visit Prague. Perhaps the city survived because the Czechs decided not put up any resistance, so the Nazis went unopposed, which meant they didn't need to bomb anything.In any case, the city is preserved and you can feel the history as you stroll about the stunning centre. It makes you cry for all the cities that did get flattened in WWII and the memories that disappeared with them.The food was lovely. So was the beer. I even had a couple. All in all, travel, board and lodging cost half of what they do in London, I'd say, at a guess.Just as I did last time I was here, I came away enamoured with the place, feeling that I must come back soon.As for the conference itself, BTC Prague, there were a few GenXers and Boomers – including my new friends Larry Lepard (check out his book), James Lavish (check out his fund) and George Bodine (check out his art) – as well as myself – but 85%+ of attendees were under 50, I'd say, with a large chunk under 30.If you are young, starting out and wondering what to do, I would urge you to get involved with the Bitcoin movement. There are so many different ways to do so, depending on where your talents, skills or interests lie. You can be artist, scientist or journalist, engineer, entrepreneur, traveller or surfer-dude. It really doesn't matter. You'll find a path that suits you. It all feels so dynamic and full of opportunity. It's brim full of doers. Everyone is so supportive. There is plenty of capital to invest. You can make quick progress.Another thing to note: there are a lot of extremely clever people in this movement. Average IQ levels in Bitcoin are, I've little doubt, much higher than you typically find elsewhere.Conversation, naturally, was dominated with talk of the bitcoin treasury companies, and the incredible price action we are seeing there. To use the baseball analogy, which innings of 9 are we in? I generally made the case that we are in perhaps 5 or 6, with Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) in 2020 having been innings one. Some of the old-timers - who, it has to be said, have missed this particular wave - dismissed it as the ICO or DEFI craze of this cycle. They may have a point.But James Van Straten, the bright young mind behind the transformation of Coinsilium (AQUIS:COIN), told me in no uncertain terms that, as far as the UK is concerned, ball one of innings one has only just be thrown. There is £1.2 trillion of capital in UK pensions and ISAs and, thanks to the FCAs anti-bitcoin rulings, several years of pent-up demand. We shall see.What's different between this and ICO/DeFi madness is that the bitcoin treasury companies are holding something real and strong, while the narrative is only just getting going.People were very kind about my presentation, and I got asked to do a second one the following day, which I hurriedly wrote. I'll share both with you as soon as I get the vids, but my main arguments were:* With the changing nature of the global workforce, the rise of the gig and freelance worker, especially the digital nomad (billions of people will soon be on the move), demand for borderless money and portable wealth is inevitably going to grow.* Save strong currencies; spend weak ones.* By investing in bitcoin (the currency), you benefit from the cumulative, combined IQ of everyone involved in Bitcoin (the movement).* With such extraordinary potential, the risk is not so much owning bitcoin as not owning it.As you would expect from someone with my chequered past, I threw in lots of jokes as well.Join this amazing movement.But the main event was the Michael Saylor presentation on Saturday afternoon.My goodness me, the 60-year-old former aerospace engineer has become a rock star. He was mobbed. He stood there in the entrance hall, patiently smiling for 90 minutes, with a circle of people around him 10-deep, all wanting selfies. The frenzy did not relent, and eventually his bodyguards had to usher him away so he could prepare for his presentation.That same presentation will no doubt be doing the rounds on the internet over the next few days, and I urge you to watch it, but I will summarise his main points here.Saylor, his usual intense, charismatic self, first observed just how far bitcoin has come over the past 12 months. Up about 70%, it has, yet again, outperformed gold, bonds, stocks and real estate. The White House has said it wants to make the US the bitcoin capital of the world. The new US administration is extremely pro-bitcoin – he went through the key players one by one. With the ETFs and increasing institutional adoption, bitcoin is altogether more normalised and legit.He spoke about how he wished he had got involved in 2013, when he first heard about bitcoin, rather than in 2020, but he also made the point that bitcoin still only makes up less than 1% of global capital and that this share will inevitably grow. 99% of global capital doesn't know about it yet and so, even buying now, you're ahead of 99% of capital.Then he began to speak about where this growing monetary network is going. Bitcoin will continue to outperform stocks, gold, bonds and real estate, as it inevitably grows to occupy a larger slice of the global capital pie. Twenty-one years from now, it's going to be $21 million a coin, he said. There is, therefore, an opportunity to change the destiny of your family for generations to come. You create the future, he said.To deal with the drawdowns and the crypto winters, be like a seasick sailor: keep your eyes on the horizon. On the bigger picture. Saylor outlined several strategies to grow your bitcoin position and showed how rich each would make you in 21 years. The lowest-risk method is to dollar cost average (DCA) – buy a set amount each month and each year. But to increase your gains, use leverage. Use it wisely of course: keep interest payments low, fixed and long duration. Otherwise, you risk debt servitude and will end up with nothing.The principle is to borrow weak currencies, which lose value, and use the money to buy the strongest currency of the lot, which will inevitably gain in value. The gains you make will be extraordinary.I urge you to watch the presentation when it comes out, as he details the different strategies – and then shows the different outcomes.Using:* DCA* Leverage* DCA + leverage* In the case of companies, issuing stock to buy bitcoin* Issuing stock and using DCA + leverageIt will turn you into a total bitcoin head, I guarantee.But that's all for today.I'll be back mid-week with more commentary. I'm attending Swen Lorenz's Weird Sh1t Investing Conference on Tuesday so there will no doubt be lots of good ideas in there. I'll also update you on my conversation the day before yesterday with Eric Semler, Chairman of bitcoin treasury company, Semlar Scientific (NASDQ:SMLR). Semlar has been eclipsed in performance by the (once) smallcap UK bitcoin treasury companies - Smarter Web Company (AQUIS:SWC), Consillium (AQIS:COIN) and Helium Ventures (AQUIS:HEV.PL), but it is lower risk and better value given it is trading at the actual value of its bitcoin holdings and looks set to enjoy a decent run should bitcoin catch a bid.If you enjoyed this article, please like, share - all that stuff. It helps.Until next time,DominicPS Here's this week's commentary in case you missed it:DisclaimerI am not regulated by the FCA or any other body as a financial advisor, so anything you read above does not constitute regulated financial advice.

Against all odds, 2 Blokes from Blighty has reached its 100th episode. Joey and Tim—armed with little more than tea, questionable opinions, and a startling amount of spare time—have somehow managed to release one hundred episodes of their transatlantic ramblings.This milestone is a testament to their consistency, their passion, and perhaps most importantly, the tolerance of their listeners. For a podcast that once dedicated an entire segment to debating whether beans belong on toast (they do, but still…), it's frankly astonishing we've made it this far.Over the course of these hundred episodes, the blokes have covered everything from pub etiquette to UFO conspiracies, often with the kind of in-depth research that would make Wikipedia editors weep.So join us as we celebrate a century of banter, bafflement, and British nonsense. Because if two blokes talking twaddle can make it to 100 episodes, truly, anything is possible.

Once upon a spaghetti Tuesday, a walrus named Gregory Fluffington III decided to open a hat shop for invisible ferrets. Business was slow, mostly because the ferrets kept forgetting they existed. To make things worse, the mayor—an enthusiastic muffin in a monocle—declared Tuesdays illegal, which really complicated Gregory's work schedule.So, Gregory hopped on his unicycle made of marshmallows and rode to the Council of Wobbleberries, who were busy arguing over whether spoons were just really lazy forks. On the way, he passed a cactus choir singing sea shanties in Swahili while being chased by a particularly aggressive cloud shaped like regret.When Gregory finally arrived, the Wobbleberries demanded he solve a riddle: "If a pickle whistles jazz at midnight, how many bananas are in a sneeze?"Without missing a beat, Gregory replied, “Forty-seven, but only if the moon is wearing socks.” A stunned silence followed. Then a kazoo exploded, and he was declared President of Nonsense.He celebrated by inventing a new language made entirely of hiccups and interpretive dance. Unfortunately, no one could understand him, so he retired to a quiet life of counting imaginary pineapples.And they all lived nonsensically ever after. Hosted on Acast.

It's time to dip your toes into "Dirty Water" - The Standells and their enduring 1965 hit, that is! We gab about the snotty vocals, their appearance on The Munsters, we rank the drum fills - and of course, we crack the code of the song's lyrics. The next version is by The Gants - who add fuzz and relocate the song to Miami. But they musta forgot to learn the song! The Apollos are some North Carolina kids who keep the song in Boston but their accents would rarely be heard in Southy! The song crossed the pond to Ol' Blighty when The Inmates authored a very Dr. Feelgood-y version. And finally, back to Boston, for a risible, post-World Series win  version by Red Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo. Pee-yew - go jump in the Charles, Bronson!

Joey and Dan had been best friends since the first grade. They were the kind of friends who finished each other's sentences, laughed at jokes no one else understood, and always had each other's backs.One summer, they decided to enter the town's annual scavenger hunt—a legendary event with a grand prize of two brand-new bikes. The challenge? Solve riddles that led to hidden clues all over town.At first, they were unstoppable. Joey's quick thinking and Dan's sharp memory helped them breeze through the first few clues. But then, disaster struck.The next clue was hidden at the top of Miller's Hill, a steep and rocky climb. Joey insisted on going first. Halfway up, his foot slipped, and he tumbled down, scraping his knee badly.Dan rushed to his side. "Joey! Are you okay?"Joey winced but nodded. "I can keep going."Dan shook his head. "No way. You're hurt. We'll find another way.""But the bikes—""Forget the bikes," Dan said firmly. "You're more important."Instead of climbing, Dan found a hidden side path. Supporting Joey, they reached the top together and found the clue. They were the last team to finish—but they finished together.At the awards ceremony, the mayor surprised them with a special prize—two brand-new bikes, not for winning, but for demonstrating true friendship.Joey and Dan rode home side by side, knowing they had won something even greater than the scavenger hunt.They had proven that true friendship wasn't about winning—it was about always being there for each other, no matter what.
