yes here we go again it's Sunday it's a fun day hello how are you today
live from Much Wenlock in England on a Sunday afternoon this is live English
it sure is baby
now before anyone says mr. Duncan you're late why are you late yes I am slightly
late I apologise for that we had one or two technical problems here one or two
slight glitches glitch glitch it's a great word when something goes wrong
normally to do with things that are electronic technical things we can say
that we have a glitch so I do apologize once again for being slightly late today
however I'm here right now hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in
England how are you today are you okay I hope so are you happy
well are you happy I really hope so here we go again
the last live stream of January next week we have a new month I think next
week it's the third is it the third of February next week and don't forget also
next month it's mr. Steve's birthday and I have
absolutely no idea what to get Steve for his birthday I have no clue so I don't
know what to get mr. Steve what do you buy someone who has everything it's a
very difficult question one that is not easy to answer
so mr. Steve will be another year older next month and maybe we might do a live
stream a special live stream on mr. Steve's birthday who knows who knows
what will happen I don't actually know what's going to happen today
anything could happen because it's completely live yes as live as live can
be it is a windy day today let's have a look outside there it is a live view and
you can see it's very windy today the wind is very strong we have gales
some very strong gales occurring at the moment so it's very
windy out there in fact the wind is so strong you can actually hear it here in
the studio so now and again you might actually hear the wind blowing against
the studio so I do apologize if there are some strange noises today but it is
because of the weather it's very windy out there I tell you something I can't
wait I really can't wait until we can go outside again to do our live streams I
must admit I really do miss it I miss not being able to go outside and do the
live streams in the garden but at the moment because of course we are in
winter midwinter sadly we can't go outside live but I would really love to
do it maybe next week who knows talking of the
weather ah yes yes it happened last week last Wednesday we had snow and there you
can see the view last Wednesday yes we did have some snow we were expecting
some snow on Tuesday but we didn't get any in the end we didn't get any snow
whatsoever but on Wednesday we had some snow not much it only lasted a day and
then it all melted away so there you can see the views last Wednesday we had some
snow not much just a little bit it stayed for a day and then went away it
all melted so it didn't even stay for 24 hours it was gone
most of it was gone on the same day and one more view here we go so there is
another view so these particular video clips were taken last Wednesday when we
had a little bit of snow here in England not much but as you can probably imagine
I did get very excited when I when I realized
that we'd had some snow but unfortunately not much it went away very
quickly but of course you know how how excited I get when it snows I get very
excited I become very childish I giggle and I run around and I get very excited
talking of being childish today we are going to talk about being childish
in a certain way we are going to talk all about comics and comic books
superhero comics and superhero movies as well now I think that comics and I think
a lot of people think the same thing as me comics are actually aimed at young
people but of course there are many people who love reading comics and
collecting comic books who are much older dare I say my age so what do you
think about comic books do you ever read them do you ever read comics and at what
age should you stop reading comics so that's one of the questions we'll be
asking today is it childish to read comic books as an adult so if you are in
your 20s or 30s 40s 50s or older when is it too old to read comic books and do
you read them don't forget you can catch the live English stream every Sunday
from 2 p.m. UK time you can see the details now going across the screen and
of course if you would like to make a donation to my paypal you can do and
then I can carry on doing this every Sunday for free everything I do here on
YouTube is provided free of charge it costs you nothing however all donations
will be gladly received thank you very much mr. Steve will be
here later talking about lots of things today also we are going to talk all
about anger and there is one reason why I would like to do this today is because
did you see during the week on the internet a lot of people were worth
putting video clips of a certain event that took place this week a man got very
angry and he decided to take revenge anger can be a very destructive emotion
I think and here it is he was a very brief clip of what happened here in the
UK this week because of one person getting very angry and there you can see
it he is actually destroying a hotel that he and other builders had been
working on but the thing is he hadn't been paid so because he was so angry
about it he decided to go on a rampage with a small digger an excavator and as
you can see there he decided to crash into the building that they just
completed so they just finished making building that particular hotel and
because one person had not been paid he got very angry and decided to to take
revenge so sometimes anger can be a very
destructive very damaging emotion I think so anyway so that's something
we'll be talking about words expressions to do with anger do you ever get angry
do you ever lose your temper sometimes it is very hard to control your temper
especially if you are dealing with a situation that is very
and I think you know what I mean there are many situations in life where
you might find yourself feeling very frustrated very angry and maybe you
can't hold in that anger maybe you have to let the anger out so you lose your
temper so all of that coming later on also on Friday mr. Steve and myself we
celebrated a special anniversary can you guess what it is last Friday a special
anniversary can you guess what it is I will give you a clue it has something to
do with this location the place in which we are living right now it has something
to do with that of course we can't have the livestream without the live chat so

that it's not that unusual at this time of year to have lots of snow in that
part of the world Tuesday in Paris it snowed a lot Thank You Louis for that
yes we did have a lot of snow and we are now going to come up to date with the
live chat and there we go hello Guadeloupe thank you for joining
me today also Amory Erik Lilia or Lily and also
Leonardo thank you very much everyone for joining me today it's lovely to see
you here in a few moments mr. Steve will be here but first of all we are going to
have a look at one of my full English lessons don't forget there are lots of
English lessons on my YouTube channel and here is an example of one of them
right now and then we have mr. Steve
do you ever find yourself stricken with shyness do you ever feel shy would you
describe yourself as a shy person it would be fair to say that we all feel a
little shy from time to time there are certain situations where shyness might
affect you perhaps you are meeting someone for the first time even worse
perhaps you are about to meet many people who you don't know they say that
loneliness is a crowded room and for a shy person this is very true we often
equate nervousness with being shy you might not know what to say in certain
situations which can lead to the appearance of being shy a lack of
confidence in certain situations can lead to an attack of shyness we often
position shy alongside awkward in a sentence a shy person might be described
as apprehensive bashful coy retiring and timid a shy person might find themselves
being accused of being antisocial or standoffish as their silence can
sometimes be misinterpreted as arrogance or conceitedness I know this because it
has happened to me I can sometimes be quite shy in certain situations which
can lead to some people asking what's the deal with your friend Duncan he
won't speak to anyone he seems a bit arrogant to me no I'm not being arrogant
or stuck-up or conceited I'm just a little bit shy that's all
have you ever taken part in a contest or competition and after the result or
winner has been announced you feel cheated you find yourself thinking that
perhaps the winner was chosen for a reason perhaps you felt that the
competition was rigged or fixed to rig something means to arrange a situation
in such a way that the result is assured to rig something is to cheat and fix a
game or contest to go one particular way for example in a talent show
the winner might turn out to be a relative of one of the judges this might
lead people to think that the contest was rigged or fixed in sport a boxing
match can be rigged so as to allow people to place heavy bets on the winner
one of the boxes taking part in the match is paid to take a fall so as to
ensure that the other one wins almost anything can be rigged or fixed so as to
give someone an advantage or a definite chance of winning
the world of English is indeed a fun and exciting place to be but it can also be
confusing for those learning the language some English words especially
can create confusion and lead to mistakes being made a good example of
this confusion is the similarity between the words momentum and memento they seem
to be related but in fact they are not in physics the word momentum relates to
the quantity of motion of an object based on its mass and speed that is to
say how heavy and how fast it can travel is related to the amount of energy it
can create this energy is classed as potential which relates to what the
object can do for example the weight and speed of a rolling rock will give you
its potential energy value the movement is its momentum the force and thrust
created is called impetus movement is impetus momentum can also relate to the
driving force or impetus of a course of events how one action or event can have
an effect on other things the size of the effect and how long it will last
relates to its momentum the discussion of a controversial topic will gain
momentum as more people become involved
the word memento refers to an object that has been kept as a reminder of a
past event a memento is a souvenir it is something that has been put aside as a
treasured possession a keepsake is a memento a photograph taken at a special
event can be a memento something bought during a trip to a
particular place is a momento so as you can see the words momentum and memento
are very different indeed and as I mentioned earlier all of my English
lessons are available on my youtube channel
here he is the guy who next month will have his birthday a lot of people are
asking how old will he be well I don't think he wanted to tell you I
I think he's keeping it a secret let's just say whenever he blows the candles
out on his birthday cake we always have to have the fire brigade on standby yes
it's mr. Steve everybody around the world and whoever is wanting to learn
English it's mr. Steve I'm one of them so you know hey there's something I've
noticed today Steve what's that I've noticed that I'm looking pretty good on
camera I've I've lost a bit more weight I think really I think I've lost mum
some more weight I noticed yesterday when we were walking I noticed my
trousers have become very loose so I think I have lost a little bit more
weight and also my my do-it-yourself plastic surgery has healed quite nicely
I'm looking I think I look I think I look pretty sexy today I wouldn't go
that far mr. Duncan does that sound big-headed yes I can anyway it's the
scales that will show the weighing scales that will show with you have
really lost weight or not I think I can fetch them no no we're not doing that
today well first of all the scales don't work because it needs a new battery
thank goodness so anyway mr. Steve is here what a week
have you had a good week I have it's very windy outside yes student can I can
see all the trees moving around so it is look that's now that's live now outside
it's very cold and it's very windy yes I haven't actually been outside today yet
because I've been helping preparing you for your your show yes I'm preparing
that the little bits that I do and today we're talking about a very big subject
anger anger now I know for a fact that that mr. Steve sometimes you get
angry about things we might talk about that later on the things that make us
angry I must admit as I've got older I've
become less angry about things but but as mr. steve has got older he seems to
have become more angry about things so you lose your temper more and I lose my
temper less but years ago I used to lose my temper all the time I was to get very
frustrated and angry about everything so it's very interesting how as we've both
got older we we've kind of changed and I think you're you're you get more angry
than I do I get more annoyed about things than I used to I don't know why I
just do I think it's getting old as you get older they say you become
more miserable and you've got this weight and burden of things on your on
your brain that I think sex you tend to become like a like a grumpy old man yes
I'm getting grumpy Knab do you want the bed again - what last week mr. Steve is
in the bed he's leaving on the table already I'm just relaxing I'm just
comfortable trying to put myself and everybody at ease I'll stop doing it
now that's annoyingly we're talking about anger I may lose my temper in a
minute mr. Duncan earth is that like the other week when you had a little silk
because I said you were wrong about something and then you were Moody
there's a phrase for that that I've got here oh I see I can't wait to see that
would you like to see would you like to see someone losing their temper mr.
Steve this is during the week this is a viral video that has now been seen by
everyone on the planet except mr. Steve I haven't seen it I can't believe you
haven't seen this well I don't go on the internet very much mister the internet
the webs webs in the Internet's I don't go on social media take a look at this
Steve now this is one angry man look at this now this is a guy this week who got
so angry because he hadn't been paid for his work Wow
so the building that he was helping to construct he went in and destroyed it
that all part of it anyway so look at that he's going in there now and he's
smashing smashing up the hotel he wouldn't want to stay there would you
with his excavator yes oh look at that there's another scene look at this so
this is as he goes inside take a look at this for who's filming that from the
inside a very brave person is somebody inside there those are lots people
inside and you can see them diving for cover where they're working on it on the
building at the time yes there it was almost completed they were putting the
finishing touches to the reception area and then this guy apparently hadn't been
paid for his work and he got so angry he decided we shouldn't we shouldn't be
laughing this is not funny he decided to go on a rampage with an excavator so so
all of the work that they've done he decided to destroy it so this place
hadn't even opened yet it's a brand new hotel he hadn't even
opened so he decided to to get his revenge he got very angry so he decided
to start smashing the building up with what happened I don't know but III would
imagine well actually later he ran off he
actually ran away can you believe it they get in I don't know I haven't heard
anything else about the story and that's the strange thing the story seems to
have gone away mysteriously the story has vanished so sometimes getting angry
you've never seen that before have you no it's unbelievable so sometimes
getting angry can be a very bad thing indeed because you regret it later on
you lose your temper and then you do things which sometimes can have a great
impact on other people around you so you never want to lose control of your
emotion no it's alright for me to say that because that's I often do
lose control of my emotions particularly on the road yes so there are two things
that get you annoyed and angry and you can go from zero to a hundred miles an
hour with with your temper so the level of temper with you can go from there to
there very quickly and just like that the two things on the road when you're
driving your car other motorists and also technology oh yes
technology gets you very angry the the amount of times that you've been in your
office upstairs and you've been banging the desk in throwing things around I've
broken company equipment before oh but they didn't know well it's in the past
they might know now in the past I've got so angry I smashed my fists on two
computers and broken them so you've actually broken company property yes
because it was it was it stupid useless basically so this is the problem with
getting angry sometimes you do things in the heat of the moment mr. Duncan you've
got a pair of scissors here um yes I you know you've got to be careful because if
I lose it yes you might stick these you might stick this pair of scissors in my
net this live stream may go viral buzz Wow he'll certainly go viral for the
wrong reasons so yes myself we sometimes lose our
temper we can get very angry about things now let's see if people are
getting angry at live chat let's see if people are getting angry on the live
chat shall we yes that the live chat so there it is
Steve so what you want to do now well dad just won't ever read your nose -
then let's have a read start from the top start from you know just after I
came in I'll try my best it's it's being very awkward today how
is it so let's just go back slightly ago that'll do Oh sue cat knows when your
birthday is hello sue cat because I meant chammak I
mentioned your birthday you see Ana Pedro we haven't got Belarus here today
have worried she is here watching but she's not
getting involved because she's not very well at the moment so get well soon
hello Belarus yeah get well soon but we do have Pedro taking care of the
live chat and also we have a new feature that YouTube has introduced where they
will show me any comments that might be rude or offensive so I can see them but
no one else can and then I can approve them so I think that's a great little
thing there so so maybe Pedro will be out of work he won't work he won't have
a job to do there won't be any moderator needed on
the live chat can you believe it Pedro what do you think to that yeah I might
have to make you redundant did you ever pay Pedro for being a moderator the the
just just the actual honor of being my moderator is payment enough a bit likely
the workers in America that have been haven't been paid for the last two
months yes because of the the government shutdown sue cat has outed me in terms
of my birthday yet the 16th of February is when mr. Steve is another year old
annoyed a lot of people asking how old is mr. Steve we can't say amazing that
we're having him sent to a laboratory in London to have him carbon-dated thanks a
lot that's how old he is so it's a bit like a tree if you cut a tree in half
you can count the Rings inside so I think they're going to do a similar
thing to Steve I think they're going to cut one of his arms off and count the
Rings to see how old he is Maria says that there's an interesting question
hello mr. Steve hello Maria hello Maria are you fond of pets well would you like
to receive a dog for your birthday now I know that recently you've got very
attached you've become very attached to one of our neighbors dogs because you've
you've been taking it for a walk yes because one of our neighbors is not very
well yeah and her dog is quite old it's think it's 12 or 13 years old which is
quite old for a dog and you can tell it's old but anyway I'm
taking it for walk but it's very slow I think I mentioned last week it's very
boring taking dogs for a walk because they want to do their own thing all the
time and but so we have often talked about having a having a pet dog and not
at the moment because while we're both working if and it wouldn't be fair and
mr. Duncan because I don't mr. Duncan works from home as you know on his
YouTube channel like now I work you know like in an office type of I haven't
about so it would be a bit unfair because mr. Duncan would have the full
burden of looking after the pet all the time yes let's put it to put it bluntly
dogs can be a real pain in the arse well any pet needs a certain amount of
looking after yes I know that from from looking after you I mean those scissors
mr. Duncan I'm getting angry well I mean I've had a lot of experience looking
after a dumb animal he means me he means me well you said it not me you said it
you see I come home after a hard day's work mr. Duncan often cooks a meal for
me yeah she's very nice yes and then often I'm off in the evening
doing things because I'm in the all these societies which I've mentioned
before every week so mr. Duncan's here all the time
inevitably he would have to spend most of his time looking after the pet it's
true it's like these tarantulas that we're looking after for a friend of
still we're still looking after those stupid spiders he's my friend but mr.
Duncan is looking after he's spider yes well to make things worse and I'm not
only looking after spiders I also have to look after the food that we give to
the spiders so we have these little crickets and so not only do I have to
feed the spiders but also I have to feed the crickets every day as well so I'm
looking after two two creatures or lots of creatures already I don't want to
look after a dog as well as looking after
mr. Steve as well it's too many things and I need a lot of looking after
believe me I think so hey we've got some messages about anger blue thunder says
sometimes I lose control because of anger with my brother yes brothers and
sisters often often fight did you ever fight with your sister all the time I
think so yes Pedro you can ask me a question you can ask me anything Pedro
anybody can ask me anything does it mean a line I know you can ask I know what
he's going to ask it's going to ask how old you are
oh well while we're not said we're not revealing that oh we want people to
guess and then whoever comes up with the the youngest age I'll give them a kiss
that sounds like punishment yes yes now brothers and sisters siblings brothers
and sisters your siblings sibling rivalry
you often causes a lot of anger and arguments amongst brothers and sisters
brothers whatever Oh Kaiba says I feel tense and angry after
hard work now that's a bit of you as well because sometimes in your job you
have lots of things to think about and do so sometimes you become overwhelmed
or maybe a little bit frustrated in your work yes and I think sometimes if you
just just go and let me just finish what I was saying about sibling yes okay
lowest but will it take 20 minutes it won't take but everyone who's got a
brother and sister will relate to this and quite often the older brother which
I was an older brother tends to maybe treat their younger brothers or sisters
maybe not as well as they should do yes my sister always reminds me that I used
to go into her room she had a she had a metal bin allowed to get if I was
annoyed with the rats and the guard go into there and I'd bash it with my foot
and put dents in it you know you were a very violent child that's what I used to
do she often reminds me we laugh about it now
you know I don't know if I used to annoy her but I'm sure she must have annoyed
me otherwise I wouldn't have gone into a room and kicked her Ben no and put dents
in it so I want to know what what did she do to make you angry I don't know I
can't even remember did she steal your did you steal your dollies no did she
did she take your action man and put lipstick on him I don't remember what it
was but apparently I used to be a bit mean to her at times and you were saying
what were you saying mr. Duncan before I went back to the subject of sibling
rivalry well I don't think I talked about work making you angry yes and
frustrated yes so if you have too much work if you have a very large workload
maybe you have only a short amount of time to get something done by lots of
tasks all coming at once so you need to do so frustration I think one of the
main causes of anger is actually frustration it is you are correct mr.
Duncan frustration you've got lot time pressure time
pressure that was a very intense look you gave me then well hey Joe just said
that I age isn't important I look great oh this is why I come on here every week
just for the adulation from Pedro and all anybody but yes no the Bob's are
saying yes so yes frustration you need I think sometimes I know that I need time
pressure to make me work efficiently if I don't have a certain pressure of time
then I start to become inefficient and I know sometimes I often leave things to
the last possible moment to get things done because that will that somehow
makes me more efficient and I'm able to do the tasks more better and more
efficiently if I've got a bit of time pressure I've got a project to do or
something I've got to finish something for work okay say it needs to be done
for a week for a week today for example but I know it's only going to take
me say an hour to do it rather than do it then I'll probably leave it later
because that'll because I haven't got the motivation to do it yes whereas if
you leave it too near at the time suddenly you get a bit of adrenaline and
then all your ideas start it's more sometimes you're more efficient that's
I've often said this well preparing yes will so extreme I tell you now from
creativity people who are creative it is the worst possible thing you can get
into it can I can I just if anyone is thinking of getting into the creative
field it will probably drive you completely insane
to be honest because I've been doing this for 12 years now and there are
moments in my past when I've I've almost lost my mind so being creative always
having to come up with new ideas and new things but sometimes it's very hard to
do that sometimes your brain just switches off you have you have nothing
up here there's nothing I find these days that that happens more and more so
if you are in the creative field there is a lot of pressure and you can become
very frustrated not with the job with yourself because you you can't think of
new things so you you get into this awful cycle where you become frustrated
with yourself and I think that's one of the worst things you can do but
sometimes you need a bit of pressure don't you yes in order to work
efficiently yes in order to get those creative juices going that's it so you
might have all week to prepare for the live lesson but it's not going to take
you a week to prepare for it No so sometimes yeah and and then sometimes
you say to me I'm frustrated I don't know what we're going to do for Sunday
but you always come up with something because then as the times it gets near
and near the time yes your mind starts that it knows you've got to come up with
something my brain and it don't something happens then you start getting
ideas from here what's one idea starts and the other one comes in and so to
become yes a bit of time pressure is sometimes a good thing it's a bit like
writing if you are an author sometimes you have nothing
in there and then one day you suddenly get all this inspiration at once back to
the live chat very quickly I don't want to ignore the live chat because now I
thought sometimes we we do tend to to forget about the live chat Chico is here
hello Chico nice to see you school makes me stressed
making me play games and also it makes me angry when I can't play therefore my
mum says that I'm quite annoying making me even more angry ah that's a good one
yes parents can often make children very angry and also the other way around
so if you are raising a family if you have kids of your own
quite often anger will will be an issue it will be there somewhere so I think so
chico says I never get frustrated when I'm creative instead I find it fun well
I I find it fun for most of the time but there are moments when you feel like you
just want to quit you want to end it all when I say end it all I mean the work
you don't want to do it anymore for those who are not sure what I meant
there Nadine I lose my mind when I study the lessons and then the exam is
cancelled oh yes see your you hate having your time wasted I do
ah that's a good one a very good one there so mr. Steve gets very angry when
he wastes time or if someone else wastes your time particularly at work when you
have a meeting about something and it's just ridiculous you didn't need to have
a meeting about it you could have just sorted it out by talking to somebody in
a couple of minutes mm-hmm a lot of time is wasted at work with
unnecessary meetings and I'm sure a lot of people can relate to that
I think people just like meeting sometimes because it just gives them
something to do but but yes I don't like having my time wasted No
Pedro wants to know who's the breadwinner here in the family in here
yes but both of his room between I I would say that mr. Steve is is probably
the main breadwinner because because I'm a youtuber so if you you will publish
here on youtube if you if you do YouTube then there's no way on earth there is no
way in a thousand years that you are ever going to be the breadwinner so so I
don't win much bread I have a few crumbs on my table and maybe a little bit of
mouldy crust yes but but mr. Steve is the breadwinner if I was honest I have
no shame they're saying that because I love doing my youtube channel I love
running it I love making my videos I love doing this
so I give a lot of my time and I get paid nothing nothing at all for it
people think I'm crazy don't they people in the real world think I'm completely
insane for various reasons good job I'm in full employment it is a good job
Steve that's very good I was thinking at one point in my life that I might have
to sell my body on the streets I might have to hang around outside the
spa shop that ship has sailed mr. dink I might have to hang around the spa shop
and we say that ship has sailed whether I'm trying to say something but
let me finish what I'm saying and then you can say something
that's how it normally works I was thinking of going into much when looking
hanging around outside the spar shop you know in sort of selling my body yes as I
said that ship has sailed okay then what does that mean that means
that the chance of that happening past a long time ago yes because you're too old
now the opportunity the the has faded away you you can't do that because I'm
too old yeah you couldn't sell your body now or no because you're too old no one
will pay for this actually their minds unless it's medical science they might
there might be a doctor who might want to open me up and have a look inside
he might be curious rare a two three two three-two-three has asked what is a
breadwinner yeah well the breadwinner is the person who earns the money in the
house so maybe if you have a husband and wife maybe the husband is the
breadwinner so he has a job or maybe both are breadwinners
so maybe the husband and wife both work which is quite usual nowadays so the
breadwinner the breadwinner is the person who earns the money in the
household so in other words it refer it's referring to buying bread which is
food yes a basic type of food you know if you've got bread it's an idiom the
house yes it's an idiom a very interesting idiom puts money in the home
yes that's correct Pedro there was some controversy this week Steve did you hear
about is that one of our favorite TV shows is a show presented by a man
called Bill Maher and he hosts the TV show real time it's one of our favorite
TV shows we do we do like to watch American chat shows American programs
because they just seem so much better than than our shows but this week Bill
Maher upset a lot of people he made some comments during the week in reference to
people who read comics Bill Maher made headlines around this part of the
entertainment world shortly after the death of Stanley last November as he
penned a controversial open e d piece on his blog on how comic books were meant
solely for kids when we say solely we mean only only a
few months later the comedian Double Down he actually increased what he
thought as he went on a massive rant at the end of his weekly real time will be
with Bill Maher program on HBO spending upwards of six minutes trying to explain
his previous blog post ma ended up lashing out against comic
fans once more dropping a few comments that are sure to be controversial
amongst the comic crowd so that's what Bill Maher did he he said basically what
he said Steve was that comic books are only for children so if you read comics
they are only for kids so adults should not be reading comics at all they
shouldn't be so the big question today is is it childish to read comic books as
an adult wasn't he also commenting about the plethora of films related to comic
book heroes well it's the big thing though that people a lot of people are
watching them yeah it's the big thing now a lot of movies that come out during
the year are often a featuring some sort of superhero from the comic books but I
think his main his main concern was people over a certain age adults reading
comic books and this reminded me of our past now first of all when you think of
a person who reads comics you normally think of this sort of character now this
is the guy from South Park do you remember I do he's the guy that
was playing World of Warcraft but we always think of people who read comment
comics in their adult life as looking like that a little bit desperate a
little bit needy maybe living with their mother still and having no social life
so so that might be the cliche of a person who reads comics but we used to
read them didn't we I think every child reads comic communist so let's have a
look at some of the comics we used to read now this is one that I used to read
as a kid spider-man the amazement the amazing spider-man now apparently I
didn't realize this there are lots of different versions different versions
spider-man really did you know that so there's there's the spider-man
there's the amazing spider-man there's the really amazing spider-man
there's the incredible spider-man there's lots of versions of spider-man
you seem to know a lot about this mister don't yet I used to really I used to
think actually spider-man was a bit sexy really yeah that explains a lot doesn't
it I don't know why I don't know why but I used to don't forget I was only a
child at the time well men wearing sort of tight lycra costume
yes has got a certain it's all a little bit homoerotic yes there is a certain
element of that going on it's the same with Batman isn't it yes lots of lots of
tight lycra and tights men running around in tights it's also a
man that was another one yes so I mean really well you you men shouldn't really
be wandering around dressed in tight lycra outfits and they can if they want
I want a problem with it yes but they're going to Achaia
they're going to attract ridicule aren't they from other men yeah well I don't
think so because most most of the people that follow superheroes are made the
majority are men who read comic books and watch the movies they must be
fantasizing that they are in fact these characters themselves yes and in fact I
know I've got a friend oh wait there don't bring a friend if I'm going to
bring the photo I don't want to listen to the friend story today I'm not in the
mood I'm just okay there let me talk generally I think people based on
personal knowledge of somebody that I know I think quite often that when
people are watching sort of fantasy films it's the same right James Bond
okay anything like that cartoon characters superheroes I think you put
yourself you you you associate with that person
you wish you were that character don't yes that's what people are doing yeah
but I think what often happens is that this crosses over too much into the real
world and sometimes people forget that they're not actually these characters at
all yeah and time to just to get on with life yes but
it's an escape it's a fantasy it's an escape from the real world that's it
so is it childish to read comic books as an adult well here's another good
example he now bearing in mind that we're talking a lot these days not me
and Steve but people generally are talking about feminism so take a look at
this this is the cover of a copy of The Avengers and this is from the late 60s
the late 1960s can you believe it and there you can see there are some
superhero women and they are defeating all the men and she is saying from now
on it's the the Valliere and her lady so that they're actually showing the men
that the women are stronger than the men can you see that so that was way back in
the 1960s he's saying that finishes off those male chauvinist pigs yes can you
believe it so she's referring to men who treat women quite badly and think that
women should be put in their place and not and not try to be powerful and
successful yes but the interesting thing is this is
for in the late 1960s so even back then there was a lot of feminism there was a
lot of feminism in in popular culture so I think that so that's a pretty good
example of that well I think superheroes well going back to superhero men being
dressed in tight lycra the same also applies to do to women when they're when
they're sort of Wonder Woman for example a Wonder Woman
she she always wore very little that's what I mean they always dress
superheroes up in sexy outfits yes or to look sexy yes so I mean up
Wonder Woman oh yes she used to get my heart beating mr. Duncan when I was
younger I was watched Wonder Woman okay you know this or I cross over to the
dark side is that but is that because you wanted to be Wonder Woman
think so no it wasn't it never there was something very attractive about Wonder
Woman Lynda Carter who incidentally popped up
in in in in a law-and-order program that we watched the other night I don't know
how old that program was but it was nice to see her in that but I said Lynda
Carter I thought she was a lovely actress by the way Steve's talking about
the actress who used to play super Wonder Woman in during the nineteen the
the late 70s and early 80s many years ago but yes we have the Avengers also oh
do you remember this character from the comics mr. Steve no I don't Lord snooty
no I don't know anything about that mr. Duncan now Lord snooty appeared in a
certain comic called the Beano so he was actually in the Beano did you ever read
the Beano cry I don't really remember reading the Beano really no was it might
have done was it a little too lowbrow I don't know but I used to I used to read
a comic called Whizzer and chips okay then we might have a look at that
in a moment but but if you if you look at the front page of this comic look
there is bullying taking place so there is a character called Dennis the Menace
and he is beating up a character called Walter Walter the softie is his name and
everybody deserves it oh okay I'm only joking but every week
Dennis the Menace would beat he would attack and beat and bully Walter the
softie which of course was very bad very bad influence I would I would say on on
children at school yes it's very strange because bullying
is is a dreadful thing yes no no one likes being bullied but there you can
see if you see if a child's watching this a bully is watching this yeah
sorry reading this comic that's justifying his behavior at school yes oh
it must be all right because I read it in the B No
comic yes so I very much doubt that can you still buy comics I don't even know
mum it sounds like a ludicrous question it is a ludicrous question but yes you
can you can still get comics but not not in paper form not in paper form most of
them now are actually just available over the Internet how boring so you can
only view them on the Internet so I think there are many comics many comics
now that can only be looked at or read through the internet so they
disappointing they're not published anymore
talking of talking of Lord snooty no Lord snooty was a character that
appeared in the Beano and can I just say that he reminds me of someone and I'm
not sure who he reminds me of oh wait wait a minute
of course it's mr. Steve you often call me Lord snooty so now I know why yes
Lord snooty or should I say Lord Steve so there so I think they they actually
based the character of Lord snooty on mr. Steve I think that's really what you
were like when you were a kid I don't know what you mean mr. Duncan so you
have no idea there's the evidence I rest my case they used to call me posh at
school they said I was posh yes we all know we all know about your days of
being posh here's another Lord snooty and can you see they're all bullying
Lord snooty they're saying and we won't bash you if you give us some chips slurp
so all the kids are threatening to beat up Lord snooty if you disagree if he
doesn't hand over the chips worrying again more bullying so this is this is
the sort of stuff I grew up with a lot of people saying on the live chat about
their experiences with comics I don't know
shall we have a look shall we okay there we go
they were diss Steve yes Chico says men read more comics and women I think
that's correct Oh sue cat says Lynda Carter
had beautiful blue eyes she did and a tiny waist and there were things about
other weren't tiny she had some certain assets that definitely were not tiny I
was always amazed might go and buy her shorts those shorts were so tight and
and and they went up so high in the middle and I used to wonder how how this
was aimed at children now are I have a feeling that lots of adults lots of men
we're also watching Wonder Woman but not because they enjoyed superheroes but
they liked looking at Wonder Woman's cameltoe mr. Duncan it was disgusting
my father used to sit there and watch it I mean the program was rubbish but let's
face it it was rubbish it was the only attraction was Wonder Woman in her
skimpy outfits yes that's the only reason anybody watched it tsukete says
my husband loved Wonder Woman I think yes I think you know why there was one
particular outfit that she used to wear yes which was virtually pornographic
yeah that's what I just said but you didn't haven't finished the
sentence yet okay she used to wear she had what she had an outfit for lots of
different scenarios didn't she does she um what yes used to change her outfits
sumter and she had one for riding a motorbike I've heard a particular outfit
for riding a motorbike and that was well I can't even describe it was I mean it
was soft porn it was all you could describe that
outfit as because okay let's say she had very large breasts didn't she she was
very well-endowed and in this motorcycle outfit I'm sure sue Kats husband will
remember this it's it's emblazoned on my memory I can still see it now yes she
was often shown in slow motion on this motorbike and well let's just say
everything was heaving around all over the place
yes well when she was running she would often slow it down
and I'm sure they it was just for the benefit of the men watching not not for
the children so yes I think it's it's true to say that that that might be the
case yes I think so there we go chico says it's not childish
to read comics as an adult okay then and i think i wouldn't say it was childish i
think i think if you were to talk about it a lot and become too serious about it
I think it's it's like superhero films they're nice to watch a bit of fun I
hate them I don't like them either Victor oh you just said they're good to
what you know just just it's a bit of entertainment but you don't want to be
talking about it I am so bored with superhero films there's so many there's
too many there are this year there there are even more superhero films and please
can we do something else we get it yes we understand there are superheroes and
they are super and they are heroes but Louis say that you can develop your
knowledge with comics and that's probably what yes that's probably
children do get some knowledge from comics do they but not the best one no
yes an escape from the real world yeah that's what that's what it's all about
yes an escape from the real world and so on sometimes you need somewhere to
escape to if life is because life is not always good to you is it bad things
happen things make you unhappy no Anna says I've got a skeleton in my cupboard
oh okay I don't know what she what she's referring to there maybe you have a
secret steve has a skeleton in his wardrobe yes a secret a Skeletor a
skeleton in your cupboard it means you've got a secret these hidden away
hmm I wonder what Anna thinks that I have hidden away in my wardrobe it's not
Wonder Woman it's not a Wonder Woman outfit let's see I'm starting to wonder
now these are things that I'm thinking now that maybe Steve used to dress up
his Wonder Woman when he was a child I think so
I think this this explains a lot a lot leader is going now
bye-bye mr. Duncan a mr. Steve see ya bye Lena Lena's going now it must be
very late I think we're leaner is so yes I think
it's very fair to say that if the superhero is a woman I think it's fair
to say that lots of men will definitely be watching somebody just asks what are
synonyms of snooty snooty posh arrogant a person who thinks that they are above
everyone else or maybe they think that their their life is better than other
people they look down on people who might not have as much elitist as them
yes they are elitist elitist snobby snooty snobby
posh pompous thinking that they're better than everybody else
yes so there are many synonyms of snooty a snooty person they are stuck up now
Jimmy says that Captain Marvel and the Avengers are coming soon this year oh
good something to look forward to isn't isn't Captain Marvel a woman have
I got that wrong I think I think there are a lot of female superheroes around
at the moment so yes I think I think Captain Marvel might be a woman so I'm
sure someone will correct me but there's one movie I would like to see and that's
the new spider-man into the spider-verse that looks quite a good movie an
animated movie and it brings all of the different spider-man's
together but aren't they all the same anyway don't know wear the same outfit
so they basically wear the same things but there are many different types of
Superman in different universes Superman and sorry so I bind a Spider Man yes
spider-man spider-man does whatever a spider can spin spins a web any size
catches thieves just like flies look out here comes the spider-man
strangely you remember that word-for-word he sure you're not still
watching it well I I secretly watch it there's an adult version now it was
really what happened away you can find that mr. Duncan what if what was I going
to say yes and I said that Wonder Woman is my skeleton in the cupboard
how I say yes I'm telling you now mr. Duncan I used to be in love with Wonder
Woman she'll always be my first love and maybe your last no hmm interesting
Cagney asks mr. Duncan what does solidarity mean well salt solidarity if
I can say it solidarity means that you join force with something so you you
stay as one so if a group of people stay together as one group they have
solidarity so solidarity means to remain as a group so maybe if you have a
movement a certain movement of people thinking one thing they all join
together in solidarity yes they've all got similar aims yes and goals that they
want to achieve that there was a there was there now lick vow answer okay was a
famous union leader wasn't he back in the 80s
yes nineteen eighties he's still alive by the way he is still alive and I can't
remember was it wasn't Russia was it where was it or was it Russia can you
remember any way that his movement was called solidarity and I was yes that's
right he was so it was the Workers Union it was it was Poland I think it was
probably was yes I think so because a few days ago he was attending a funeral
and I was surprised to see lick for well severe so yes amazing led this movie
became sort of prime minister president eventually I can't remember which
country it was somebody tell us please lick vous answer
which country does he come from it's always something when everyone's saying
Poland and I think it was it was I thought it was yes okay good because he
led the workers didn't he out of their plight yes just the same as what's
happening at the moment in in Venezuela as well lots of protests at the moment
Venezuela has two presidents yes it's a very unusual situation where you have
two presidents one who is being deposed and the other one that wants to step in
and you have two presidents very unusual situation Garcia says yes for well sir
for well sir Val Elsa is it's not an easy word to pronounce by the way sure
we'll get answer I think it was Pinet of complaints about that he was that he was
like a hero figure who's always on the news here yeah a real superhero from the
1980s yes exactly fighting for workers rights
at the time in Poland let's have a look at the comics of course that there were
comics for girls is well Steve and do you remember this did you ever read
Bunty my sister did I think yes this was this was a very popular comic for girls
and we used to buy it used to be able to buy that in the UK it doesn't exist
anymore so you can see that that is a UK version it's 16 pence
Wow 1984 the comic cost 16 pence can you believe that
so that was four I always thought Bunty might might actually be playing for the
other team really I always thought so yes I was thought you know ah
yes I was thought she she might be batting for the opposite team I don't
know why I think it was those red Ben giri's yes yes yes she wasn't very
feminine not very feminine bit of a tomboy and also the who remembers misty
my sister used to get misty misty Magazine misty comic yes it was for
girls stories not to be read at night yes it was a horror comic really for
girls called misty horror comic for girl yes have assange
very bizarre very strange yes I think so and of course we can't have talk of
comics we can't talk about comics without mentioning Star Wars I'll be
that that was the reverse wasn't it Star Wars is like the reverse of what
normally happens normally you have a comic and then you make a film out of it
but in this case the film was made and then they made a comic out of the film
that's it well the comic was used as a promotion tool as well so they published
the comic to actually help promote the film and I actually have this copy but
mine is all destroyed unfortunately but if you have a perfect copy of this
actual issue the first-ever issue it's now worth hundreds and hundreds of
pounds maybe even thousands if it's in good condition it's worth thousands of
pounds well I had a bone to pick with my mother oh okay yes oh yes I was I got
very angry at my mother when I was in my late teens yes because I used to
I had a comic called Whizzer and chips yes here it is on the screen right now
do I have a look at it still and then remind me so this is the comic that
Steve used to read Whizzer and chips wizard and it was actually two comics in
one so it wasn't just one comic you had - yes it's very exciting yes I always
liked the snake on the front cover because the snake was always getting up
to lots of different things snake is that's got a whole new meaning now as an
adult hasn't it has it yes what how well sort of a slang word for penis is snake
isn't it is it yeah so maybe in your world it's a trouser snake mister don't
okay that's very good information thanks it's snake okay to have a whole new
meaning now yes so any children watching at the moment there you go you've
learned something new today trouser snake Whizzer in chips was the comic
that Steve used to read so what happened why did your mum make you angry well she
made me angry because I had the very first edition of this I collected every
every copy and I used to have them in nice little piles and my bed is wrapped
up with string many of them and then when I went away to college when I was
18 I came back only to discover that my mother had a clear-out in my old bedroom
and she'd thrown all my comics away she threw them away so even the first issue
because as you know actually threw the first issue the first ever issue is the
most valuable and did you know that this comic that you're talking about was
launched in 1969 Wow so that's it yes that's it that would
make sense that's it so how how valuable that would be now I had the very first
one because I remember it coming out it was quite exciting at the time it was
advertised on television and new comic for boys but your mother threw it away
but she sneakily you see III they were she didn't throw them all away she just
used to throw like a few away every now and then okay
hoped that I wouldn't notice that the piles were getting smaller and then one
day I decided to look through them all I discovered that she thrown away the
first issue she'd thrown about half of them away and one of them as the first
issue you could have you could have very angry about that at the time you still
had that copy that first of a copy you would now be probably rolling in money
you'd be a millionaire I could rather be yeah thanks mom thanks so thank you very
much thank you to Steve's mum for throwing away the first of a copy of
Whizzer and chip it's sneaky the way she did that yes a bit sneaky I've forgiven
her now yes I'm not sure if I have I've got lots of
notes here mr. Duncan it's needy it's just gone up as we've been talking about
worried about the time because we started late today you probably didn't
realize though I want to go at four we started late today at three to fifteen
did you I didn't know that I had a few problems with the sound oh I couldn't
get the sound to work okay then so I was about 15 minutes late look at the live
chat missus so we only have we actually have can you believe it 45 minutes but
I'm going it for so still the live chat is still very busy there
it is there you go Steve are you happy now oh
look Valentin said many years ago I used to write comic books some battles on the
far long away planets oh how exciting hmm see I would like a sci-fi comic
because I do like sci-fi science fiction science fiction and there are of course
there must be conveying with conventions that go on for people who like comic
books there are just as our conventions for people who like sci-fi but lots of
lots of middle aged men who live in there that the cellar or the basement of
their parents house they live in the dark and all they do is play computer
games read comics I think a lot of people they've probably got you know
very well established jobs sure but they've just got an interest in in
comics this guy this is what I always think of when I think of people that
read comics as an atom or what a prejudiced view mr. Duncan's not
prejudiced or strange nothing against people that do that it's just the image
that I have in my mind but that's because of South Park it's it's South
Park's fault for putting that in my brain so you wanted the live chat Steve
there it is all right yes let's talk about another subject mr. Duncan says
Pedro oh okay I don't think Pedro is into comics okay then we'll mate maybe
Pedro can get his own YouTube channel and have his own live chat I didn't know
Pedro was producing the show honest I didn't realize is there a sort of
propaganda in comics I think so says Sergio yes you might have a point there
because sometimes Comics comic books can reflect a certain scenario that applies
to the time in which we live so you might find now with superhero movies
they are now featuring women more and more so I think that's that's that's a
very interesting subject was riot two three two three two
three says they his snake once out your snake wants to escape escape from where
no answer to that has no answer for that definitely fine what you do in your own
time is it dial it up to you how long as you don't take pictures and showers on
the live chat what I don't understand oh dear it's suddenly getting very adult
on the live chat mr. Dale you're making it adil not me it's your fault I'm just
reading what oh I don't think we need a block I can't understand what you're
saying when you do that no I can understand when you go it's all right
Pedro but I don't think you needed to have blocked that comment parabens I
that's Roy you read it out it was too late already dad I said it's there
forever this is an adult show but say that we have got children watching well
so it isn't an adult show it's it's quite the opposite I didn't I didn't
realize that we were now presenting an adult show Sergio Sergio has got a very
doing I'm just looking I can't the Sergio said
this is what I look like when I'm on the livestream so Sergio's picture looks a
bit like a superhero from here that looks like that looks like Bane from
Batman is it Bane I think it is I think it's Bane do you get my photos you know
who Bane is no oh okay we didn't put the photo on Serge's there the Dark Knight
Rises I think it's from he has this thing over
his mouth and he can't understand what he's saying so it sounds like it sounds
like he's wearing a gas mask so he says hello my name is Ben but no one can
understand what I'm say I'm a bad guy see like that so yes
that's what Sergio is wearing now he's wearing his Bane costume well how are we
going to talk about anger oh wait I don't know maybe we can but there's
something we have to talk about Steve what there's something we've got to
mention we can't get get through January without talking about Oh non her exit or
exit apparently today in the Sunday Times Britain is preparing to declare a
state of emergency and introduce martial law in the event of disorder after an
Odile brexit according to officials who say the Cobra Emergency Committee that
is a government group who meet whenever there is some emergency taking place in
the country they will be able to deploy the army to quell rioting so now they
think if if BRICS it doesn't go ahead they think that maybe there will be
fighting in the street can you believe that Steve I think there are they're not
referring to the fact that they could if there's a No Deal or brexit yes there
could be a lot of disruption to supplies coming into the country well they're all
about writing it yes we're just going crazy because of the result because of
what could happen if there was a No Deal yes that's it but it's nothing to do
with supplies it's just to do with people becoming angry about it because
that's what we're talking about today anger you see it's pretty good to see
how I made that fit so yes apparently they think that if we have no deal in
brexit because it's supposed to be happening in a few weeks
March to something and we still have no deal we could crash out yes as they as
they are describing it would be it would be a huge monumental event should that
happen well what happened so far has been monumental
two and a half years it's taken to get to this point and we still have no idea
as to what is going to happen yes that's a little bit worrying so the government
seems to think that everyone will be in the streets setting fire to cars and
burning down houses and well if they can't get their their food or whatever
people like to buy they will be rioting definitely I think personally from my
point of view I think it's just scare mongering it probably is I think so
because I think they've got sort of back-up plan yes I think that scenario
of a No Deal a brexit I think so people are probably wondering what we're
talking about because it referring to a No Deal brexit yes well as either well
brick cities basically as leaving Europe that's it the European Union and we can
either have a deal where we still get some of the nice stuff or no deal where
we get nothing yes because we've spent the last 40 years in Europe building up
all these trade agreements and then we're supposed if we can't get any deal
with Europe then we won't be able to get goods and services freely moving across
the borders yes and that would be a disaster
so one of the biggest contention the contention at the moment the argument is
is are we in Europe or are we separate from everything because of course we are
joined partly to Island and that's the big sticking point because Island voted
to stay in Europe and we voted to leave Europe so so how do you control the
border and that's the hard part so that's one of the big things that people
are disagreeing on so we will have a deal and everything might be okay or
we'll have no deal where things might be pretty bad so that's it it's all keep
watching this space for those who are interested maybe would you like to have
a look at the live chat and then we'll get on to your anger
why not here we go and of course talking about brexit makes lots of people angry
doesn't it it does and and it will do for many years as we've read off often
said this is something that will dominate our lives and will dominate the
news now for the rest of our lives it will never go away because it's just
going to be talked about forever yeah I mean eventually we will get some deal
but in the years that go by everyone's going to constantly speculate about
whether we were better off out or in they're going to be analyzing data or
looking for evidence of what would have been the best thing to do but the sad
thing is no one knows so you know you can have all of these experts on
television saying oh well yes let's just have a look at what might happen but no
one actually knows there isn't a single person on the planet who knows what will
happen once that now you're right Sergio it's never going to end
never and I think I think sadly because we voted to stay in I think sadly a lot
of people a lot of people think that we aren't going to leave you but I think we
will yeah I don't think there's any doubt that we will leave because we
cannot go against the referendum without causing chaos in a ghost says Mr Duncan
don't be confused No Deal means that the UK is going to
leave Europe without a deal yes I know that so there are many scenarios one of
them is no deal one of them is a deal and the other one that some people are
talking about is actually just not doing it at all just just calling it off
canceling brexit but we can't do that because people voted to leave so unless
we had another referendum yes so it couldn't just do that because that would
be going against we're going against the vote and you and you can't do that in a
democracy otherwise it would cause the course so much not immediate damage but
down the road in years to come people lose faith in the system completely if
you do that we can just keep having referendums until we get the right
answer well I I if I think that we probably I don't
know what nobody knows what's gonna happen but I think we're definitely
going to leave there's no doubt about that
yeah because we have to because that was the vote but I don't think they want to
I don't think there's going to be fighting in the streets I don't think
that's going to happen that's just but they're preparing for it just in case
just in case just in case we all decide to go crazy and start burning well the
country down but the thing is people do get very agitated when for example
there's there only has to be a spell of bad weather or the fear of snow for
example we went to the shops yesterday and it was busy everywhere and we said
why is it so busy in the shops and she said well snow has been forecast
so everybody's coming in to buy extra bread extra milk because they think for
some reason that it's sort of in the bunker time that you're not going to be
able to get food from for weeks and weeks I mean you know snow no matter how
bad it is in this country you can always get food but people have this mentality
so if they think a No Deal brexit is occurring and there's going to be the
chance of a shortage of food people will go out and they will just literally
panic by from the shops and and you could get looting and people having
arguments and fights taking place I can see that that could easily happen I'm
just having this wonderful image in my mind of two people fighting over a loaf
of bread there they're sort of hitting and beating earlier they would do that
because you only they would do it but it's happened in this country before
when there's been that been the fear of some bad weather sorry so tell me when
people have been fighting over a loaf of bread it's been on that it's been on the
television so you know people are fighting over over some food if they
think there's gonna be a shortage of something people will fight so suddenly
their animal instincts take home so you're telling me that in this country
the United Kingdom that people have actually had fistfights over a loaf of
bread well I don't know about a loaf of bread but people who had fights in well
what happens when there's a sale and people want this 50% of a television
this i'ts fights in the shops for that
because somebody got there before they thought it was but there isn't the same
thing what happened if there was a shortage of food that that would happen
so I can see why they're preparing for it I don't think it's going to happen I
think we are going to leave without D of it do you know I certainly think well
because they'll sort something out because it'll be it's chaos for for
Europe as well as us so there's what there's no way they're going to let that
happen what I love is that you seem to know
more than all the people in the government now just wait Steve Steve for
Prime Minister well I've read a lot of watch a lot of programs about it and
listened to a lot of people and it looks I don't think there is going to be a no
deal because it would be chaos not just for us but for Europe as well yes so I
don't think it's even worth thinking about I think they will come up with
something okay I doubt it though I don't think he will I they were there one
about putting it back they were all about saying put it back two or three
months well put it back yes that might happen as well but I don't think we're
gonna leave without a deal we might just we might just spend the
rest of eternity just in limbo where we don't leave if we're starting to get
angry now because thinking about it I'm not so noise it's annoys us a lot has
nothing it's a no I'm not annoyed well we are we talked about it after it
happened after the vote we're very angry about it yes for that I think I think
the thing is that it will be a very long time before anyone in this country will
be allowed to make any decision about the future of this country or law or
anything because they've realized now that there are a lot of gullible people
around who will just react without thinking it's been a disaster should
never be input to the people anyway but there you go
there you go and I think no problem is a lot of people don't really realize the
benefits that they've had from being in Europe and that has never been
communicated properly to people in the UK or we ever all we've ever heard of
ever since we've been alive is all the negatives we've never heard the post
but anyway must calm down I'm gonna turn our composure I know I know how angry
you get over things but about Scotland and Northern Ireland but the big the big
risk is that is that of course Southern Ireland being separate from Northern
Ireland Southern Ireland of course didn't have to vote on brexit because
Southern Ireland isn't part of the United Kingdom anyway so they're staying
in Europe but Northern Ireland of course is part of the UK he's coming out so
this is the whole problem oh this is so boring well the whole the whole thing
about brexit risks the whole breakup of the United Kingdom because Scotland
wanted to stay in you I did I didn't intend for this to become such a long
conversation I just wanted to mention that that people were concerned about
civil unrest who's any basically the Midlands and north of England that
wanted to leave the rest of the rest of the UK pretty much wanted to stay and
exactly London did anyway right let's get on to that anyway let's have a look
at some words yes Lewis has made a very very interest in crying out loud
well if that's gonna make you it they've been talking a lot about billionaires
and this was in the news was it yes this was in the news I read it yesterday and
Lewis has taken up on that point 26 billionaires in the world 26 that I
think this is about 2,000 billionaires something like that I don't know you're
telling me in yeah there's about 2,000 billionaires in the world something like
that but 26 of them alone their wealth is equivalent to 50% of the rest of the
poorest in the world John 26 what what's poorest well the old
wealth is is this 50 is a huge amount yes but who are these the rest of the
poorest in the world the rest of them well I mean that mean me mean you yes so
we're we're poor they hold so much work wealth that it's equivalent to half the
rest of the world okay and this massive inequality in
wealth is is going to be a huge problem because if you've got a if you've got
and a billion pounds okay you don't have to do much every year I actually worked
this out every year even at 2% interest you're
getting another 2 million pounds a year going into your bank I feel doing
nothing just put but isn't the tax threshold very high well they don't get
the billionaire's get taxed less than the people who come to clean their
houses the tax rate is less this is the this is the lunes in inequality over
this before it's it's 40 percent in this country yes but a billionaire yes you
you you you've get your money and offshore accounts you avoid tax because
you have people that that protect it for you so in other words they're clever
well that's it okay that's totally yeah but it's not right they're becoming
richer and richer they're ruling the world this is why we've got this
ludicrous situation in in America in other democracies where where the person
that gets into power is the one with the most money in influence yes I think
that's always been the way though I know but it's wrong he shouldn't know what's
Democratic about getting into power cuz you've got lots of money yes there's
nothing democratic about the whole system's broken don't get me onto it mr.
doctor I'm getting angry I'm getting angry calm down there will be yet we
watch Bill Maher yesterday there's a lot of people predicting massive revolutions
in the future no because of the total inequality of wealth it will never ever
happen well don't say never now don't forget we had all these
uprisings across the the Middle East we had these Arab springs and what happened
absolutely nothing all of those revolutions all the uprising in all what
happened was that the the the law or the government's enforce the rules more
harshly yeah they were disorganized yes but anyone can do it anyone can do it
you have countries like China who's whose army almost out
large areas of China their army is larger than the population of certain
cities that's it so so yes so I think it'll never happen I don't think we're
going to have that to be honest though there will be no uprisings because it
will never happen because there are enough people there are enough people in
place to stop it from happening right it's happened in France yes but it
is years ago it's happening now but it's getting nowhere I probably won't happen
because why because we're all being controlled through the television anyway
for God and media is controlling us and suppressing all our thoughts anyway so
it's highly unlikely that people will ever get enough band together and get
enough organization to go and overthrow I mean it's totally unfair you cannot
have you can companies go out of business in this in this country yeah
they're paying their workers a minimum wage and the OU and the people that run
the company get these jobs two CEOs on they're getting fifty million a year and
then if they rubbish at the job they get big payoffs when they leave anyway yes
because themselves massive payday yes it's totally it's got it's all
completely gone wrong because when we grew up when I when we were growing up
the bosses of the company didn't earn sort of a hundred or a thousand times
what the basic work they know my dad was a boss in a company I didn't earn that
much more than than the people below him he obviously was on a higher wage but he
didn't earn like a hundred times more if it's just gone too far the other one
that's why you will you were like Lord snooty you see because you dad was was
their manager in a company well that's a that's another story for a different
time yes everything will be all right
Rivera says they drew you need to ban yourself for trying to shut up mr. Steve
oh no it doesn't matter Pedro would never do that I wonder if we
can ban yourself if you're a moderator can you actually kick yourself out of
the room no Pedro's done a very good job in the
past of getting rid of people unsavory characters yes we don't we don't get
many we don't get many but can I now that you've got me worked up into a
froth huh worked if you work out I want to mention some angry things around
Steve whoa Wow I'm on a roll now mr. Duncan I think one of the problems if
you've got you got to create your own company become wealthy so you've got
you've got a you've got to get off your arse you've got a form your own company
that you then end up running then you sell shares in that company then you
become a billionaire I don't want to be a billionaire there you see that's it
well actually but all of the people that are successful in very wealthy have
worked to get where they are most of them as Psychopaths yes but but they're
still billionaires you can't change that unfortunately so but I know that's the
way the world works and the capitalist society that you have if you has enabled
that happen if you want to click on your things on the internet and have them
delivered the next day then someone somewhere will be a billionaire that's
it that's the way the world works unfortunately yes but it's got to most
the inequality between rich and poor has got to great there will always be
inequality yeah but what I'm down oh that mr. Duncan my point is it's there's
too much inequality there will always be inequality there'll always be prejudice
there will always be idiots there will always be stupid people that believe
everything it's always going to be like that so sometimes you just have to take
a step back and take a deep breath and everything will be all right this
finally the shows getting interesting really it's just interesting yes yes and
Lewis says there yes doctor it's just speculation they're just making money
out in the fact I've never been so bored in my life we had us a lot we had a
special anniversary on Friday didn't we Steve Bisley oh yes special a
special anniversary because on Friday was the sixth anniversary six years can
you believe it Steve six years since we moved here too much Wenlock six years
ago that's incredible I know it's a long time it's a long time I think so so
there's sixth anniversary six years ago so here is what this studio looked like
six years ago would you like to have a look so there it is there is the studio
that we were in now that's what it looked like when we first moved here it
doesn't look very good does it it was it looks like a bedroom yes it
looks like a bedroom that hasn't been cleaned for a long time but now the
studio looks like this so that's now and that was way back in 2013 so you can see
it's changed a lot so that's where we are right now in the studio in our house
that we've lived here now for six years that was a sudden change of direction
but there you go I wanted some applause wait there are
some I've interested me well done singing six years six years here I can't
believe it so Steve we're talking about anger today and I've got all in my seven
to a froth over inequality but moments of time when people become very angry
and there you can see the man who this week decided to go on a rampage
destroying a brand-new hotel that he had helped to build because he hadn't been
paid so he got very angry and now mr. Steve is going to talk about some words
and expressions to do with being angry would you like your camera go on so
Steve will will appear now as if by magic on his SuperDuper camera Here I am
Oh mr. Duncan I don't know how slick that was but it
felt slicker than previous weeks okay so if you get into a fit of anger or you
throw a fit you get in a fit of rage there are sort
of similar phrases it means to display bad temper often by screaming a lot or
to throw a tantrum to get it I can't read this fit of anger car it's upside
down in the monitor a fit of anger anger it means to throw a tantrum and we'll
show that word in a bit an outburst of anger uncontrollable and I was feeling
as I was working up to a uncontrollable fit of anger when I was talking about
brexit and inequality the world often seen as unreasonable in the
circumstances so if you get into a fit of anger it's often seen as maybe an
over-the-top reaction unreasonable in those particular circumstances for
example he drove off in a fit of anger after their argument so you might have
an argument with your wife or your husband and you drive off in a fit of
anger which of course is something I'm doing all the time with mr. Duncan
haha no not really I'm only joking it's dangerous to drive off when you're angry
so I wouldn't like to promote that my father threw a fit when he saw that my
mother had scratched the car now there's a realistic scenario I'm sure many
husbands have got annoyed of their wives who go out in the car and then and then
scratch it a fit of anger so we mentioned the word tantrum tantrum is
often used to describe the unreasonable behavior of children so it's a childish
outburst of anger so children often get into a tantrum stamp their feet scream
and run around because they don't get what they want
she threw a tantrum and her parents told her to go to bed so often when children
don't get what they want they go into a tantrum they stamp their feet scream and
cry and cause a big commotion if you say to an ad
old you know if you use that word to an adult it's often a bit of an insult
because it's it's inferring that that you're very chart your behavior is very
childish so if somebody says to you accuses you're throwing a tantrum that's
saying that your your behavior is very childish
so tantrum a similar phrase another phrase you can you can use which is
maybe used more for adults but is the same as a tantrum is a hissy fit the
hissy fit do you ever throw a hissy fit that's the way you would use that
expression somebody has thrown a hissy fit it just means that they've got into
a tantrum an unreasonable explosion of temper and you want to show everybody
that you are angry you know you're not just going to keep it to yourself
you're gonna stamp your feet and and walk around yelling and screaming and
being nasty to everybody a hissy fit and that comes from the fact that the sounds
that you might make when you are angry you know you're sort of talking in a
sort of hissy your voice changes its seen as immature and it shows that
you're not in control of your emotions and like a child like a tantrum the
child threw a hissy fit or the child threw a tantrum when they couldn't get
an ice cream how dare you embarrass me in public by throwing a hissy fit in the
shop just because I wouldn't buy you the latest game hissy fits tantrum often
used interchangeably now for adults we would often use the phrase in a huff or
get in a huff this just means to be upset or angry about something or to be
in a bad mood it doesn't mean you're going to be very vocal about it or
scream and shout like a child it's not like a tantrum it's a bit more subdued
than that and it's slang for someone who is so
about something so if you're sulking but you don't necessarily want to voice what
you're feeling you can say that you are in a huff Johnny
for example Johnny stormed out of the room in a huff because his parents
wouldn't buy him a new toy well I used an example there of a child but maybe
it's an older child I'm still in a huff because you forgot my birthday now I
know no one's going to forget my birthday because sue cat said that it
was a 16th of February so if somebody forgets your birthday and you're annoyed
about it you might go off in a huff so you might just become very moody and
aloof there we go so this comes from actually this goes back to the 1500s
so it's hundreds of years old and it derives from the word huff and puff so
if it the sound if you make a huffing noise it's often when people are getting
moved Moody they're so when they're getting angry and annoyed about
something so do you often go off in a huff scene is a bit childish because
instead of talking it through as to why you're angry and annoyed about something
you might just go off and don't talk to me I'm in a huff similar to that is huff
and puff if you huff and puff over something it means you're getting
inappropriately upset about something oh I'm getting all into a huff and a puff
over something this means you're sort of blowing wind a lot and talking and
getting excited getting into a huff and a puff do you ever get into a huff and a
puff mr. Duncan over anything yes he said yes now often when you lose control
of your emotions people might say that you lose your head lose your head you
can say he or she can lose her head she can lose a head he can lose her head
he or she can lose her head it means you have no longer have control over your
emotions and specifically the emotion of anger to become very angry or upset and
unable to think clearly or rationally so you've become so angry and so upset that
you can no longer think clearly about something when fire broke out in the
building everybody lost their heads and started running for the exits
so obviously the situation like that there's a fire you shouldn't lose your
head lose control over your emotions because you might you might run the
wrong way and go back into the fire so you need to keep a rational head he is
normally very calm and doesn't lose his head in stressful situations there we go
so it derives from the the fact that our emotions our ability to control our
emotions is obviously in our head but they didn't used to know that many years
ago so if you lose your head it means you've lost control over your emotions
slightly a similar phrase phrase but slightly different slant slightly
different meaning is to lose it so if you lose your head
it means you yes normally because you've got angry over something but you can
lose it it's a similar thing it means that you've lost control over your
emotions but it's not just about anger it can be any emotion so you can you can
lose it if you get very upset emotionally upset or if you find a
situation very funny you can lose it lose control over your emotions and
start maybe uncontrollably laughing I just lost it when I broke up with my
girlfriend so in that situation you're upset because your girlfriend's broken
up with you or your boyfriend and you just get you start crying maybe you
would take it get drunk you've lost it you've lost
you've lost your head or you've lost it but quite often mr. Duncan and I have
gone to watch amateur dramatics productions and we've lost it because
sometimes when you go to watch an am drama production they're not very good
and you start to laugh in all the wrong places because things which shouldn't
make you funny make you funny and we've sat in many a production and we've just
literally been uncontrollably laughing and had to leave the room hmm so you
could say that we we just lost it we lost control of our ability to keep the
the inappropriate laughter under control so to lose control and and you can't
suppress your laughter you lose it that's it there we go you lose it
sometimes you might get angry very suddenly very suddenly something might
make you very angry somebody somebody that pushes in front of you in the in a
queue or somebody cuts you up in traffic or pulls out or does something that
annoys you and you might just snap now that's a snapping sound that's a sound
water what a snap would sound like I can do this mr. Duncan can't do it is noisy
good if you could stop I'm sure people listening with headphone I'm not talking
about that kind of a when you snap emotionally it means you suddenly get
very angry from nowhere to speak abruptly or sharply or angrily at
somebody without provocation without and if they haven't said anything to you to
to make you angry but they've just said something nasty to you so you can snap
and just get very angry so why did you snap at me like that I didn't do
anything to you so somebody said something horrible to them but they
haven't said anything to them to start off with so they snapped out them for no
reason I snapped back at him after he criticized my project so you've got a
project we always have a project at work
somebody criticized it but use it what are you talking about nothing wrong with
my project you just snap back at them without really stepping back and
rationally thinking about it here's the last one mr. Duncan good it's ten past
when it got four minutes ago vent your spleen through event spleen or vent your
spleen this means to show or express your feelings of anger to voice your
anger it means that you you're not keeping it in your not going off in a
huff and not showing people what you're really thinking you're really letting it
all out all those pent up emotions that you might have been if something's pent
up it means you've kept them in so you might have been annoyed about something
for a long time and then you suddenly vent your spleen you tell somebody what
you really think of them these days people vent their spleens over social
media against whatever they're upset about and it's a very common thing now
that people on social media Twitter Facebook they just they just whatever
they're angry about they'll just just let everybody know about it they vent
their spleen like I did I was venting my spleen about inequality and brexit just
earlier on the shareholders vented their spleen to the to the board members over
the poor management of the company so there was a board meeting the
shareholders were there it had been a very bad year and they've been putting
up with a lot and then they just tell them what they really think of them now
this phrase comes from now your spleen is an organ that sort of holds blood and
does other things near your stomach and they used to think that the organ this
particular organ is where anger you know hundreds of years ago before medical
science was properly understood they thought that that's where anger
originated from in your spleen and so bad if people got suddenly anger they
were emptying their spleen they were getting all that anger out so that's it
I've vented my spleen today already you certainly have
yes certainly camera one for me I think mr. ding would you like to come back to
camera one okay then camera one q camera one there it is and that and that's it
it's almost time to go it is two minutes to go yes so I hope you've enjoyed this
