Welcome back to Three Word Story, the podcast where we take three random words and improvise ourselves a story. In today's episode, I didn't told you. Moldova. Moldova. We win. I have forewarned you. My tastes are my. My testosterone is climbing. Can't you see? Injecting needles just feel so beefy. But these gains ain't worth the pain. Welcome back guys.

00:00:29:04 - 00:00:59:14

Thank you so much for joining us for episode three. Hello, Dillon. How are you today? Very slow. James. Actually slower than usual. I know some people normally make comments about how how slow I think and do an accent. We're going to have to turn you from 1.5. Fast forward to two for this episode. I guess before we get into our stories, before we get into our three words, we should probably explain why we sound particularly husky and sexy today.

00:00:59:16 - 00:01:21:21
Unknown
Come in in your ears at 5:00 on a Sunday because we were too fucking hung over this morning to come in any earlier. So I would say we had quite a, sesh yesterday. I think you would say it was pretty sessional. Yeah. So I mean, I actually really enjoyed it was a 12 hour drinking session. It's a 12 hours.

00:01:21:21 - 00:01:43:04
Unknown
It was more of a working day. More than a working day of just drinking. I'm just drinking. I it was for my pre-birth thing. So it was my birthday Eve, Eve celebrations. In my family, like the Queen, I like to celebrate as much birthdays as possible in the month. So instead of celebrating on a Monday was a shit day for birthday.

00:01:43:11 - 00:02:08:18
Unknown
We did it, in style. So, you could say I dived into the day, with Skydive Dubai. Again? Wow. Starting to fall on your face is fucking. Is it like, how can that pun go like, I'm like, how how does this how does that work? I'm like, yeah, there was a bull. There was a bull in the restaurant.

00:02:08:18 - 00:02:29:07
Unknown
But now I'm like, how the how the fuck do you link the dive and boom and to this? But yeah, I completely forgot you started the day by skydiving. I did, I don't, I did. So it was my very first, skydive of my life obviously tandem with a large South African man, strapped to me. As you a South African man yourself.

00:02:29:07 - 00:02:45:24
Unknown
I just fucking can't get away from you guys. But he was a pleasant gent. It was nice. He was, had large framed thighs, so I felt safe at all. I wasn't sure if I was going to had a large. And then I was like, yeah, he was strapped to it. He had a massive dick, which just made me feel so much safer.

00:02:46:01 - 00:03:02:01
Unknown
And I actually, I felt quite privileged, that he got aroused, made me feel special. You know, because my buttons must have been that sweet for him, but, no, full disclosure, he did, as far as I'm aware, not get hard unless he tucks up into his waistband, which I see me would do. It must happen.

00:03:02:01 - 00:03:19:14
Unknown
It's classy thing to do. So it was an early one, half seven jump. I don't know if that is early for skydiving. Not really. No. We went up in a teeny tiny plane, plummeted out. Got some videos. Look pretty sick. And now then, are you hooked? I'm hooked. I'm sky hooked. So that is me now.

00:03:19:14 - 00:03:38:06
Unknown
Forever. There'll be a large part of my personality. 50% will be podcasting, 50% will be skydiving. I'm looking to start a business in the next 12 months, which will be me taking people on a tandem skydive and just improving in their ear the whole way down. Wouldn't that be nice? It's a very niche market. It is a very psycho.

00:03:38:14 - 00:03:51:16
Unknown
I don't I'm not sure if it will go well, but we will just dive down and go, well, isn't it nice of way to dive into your game? Yeah. I mean, it's why you. I'm clipping yourself. Oh, shit. They killed themselves in.

00:03:51:18 - 00:04:12:09
Unknown
Anyway, that was a bit dark, so moving on. We are a little bit hoarse for that reason, but, this may be the sexiest sounding episode that we have so far. Who knows? But apologies if it's a little bit, flat today. We will try and bring the judge. The spunk, the energy prowess, power popping to your ears with our three word story.

00:04:12:09 - 00:04:45:10
Unknown
So drop it down low. A three word story. So let's get to the stories. Dylan. So our first workplace. Dylan, what was your first workplace? Well, I actually was very privileged to be able to coach karate from karate from a fairly young age. I was about 16. Then I started kind of teaching with, with my mum around that and then, naturally, after school, that kind of just was my first job.

00:04:45:10 - 00:05:03:01
Unknown
Oh, I continue doing it just on a more full time basis, as in teaching karate, or you just did karate as a job, so you just threw down karate chops or split wood? And just went around in a dressing gown with a belt at all times. I actually, that's the reason why I went into the sport, is I just wanted to to wear pajamas all the time.

00:05:03:01 - 00:05:24:24
Unknown
Yeah, that makes sense. That your whole dress sense makes sense to me. Now, when you come in to work with a little nice nightcap on and striped pajamas. Yes, I do. Yeah. No, I did not do karate as a job. Didn't pay well, but no, I taught karate to for, from ages six to. I think our oldest student was probably about 68, if I'm not mistaken.

00:05:24:24 - 00:05:46:20
Unknown
I'm not sure how one year off the golden age, you want to be doing 69 karate all day. And gentlemen actually should have known that. I can't have commented on honestly, any number that I mentioned close to the, the 60s. Like you any day, like you can mention any number from -1 million to 1 million and beyond, and I will related some way to 69.

00:05:46:24 - 00:06:13:01
Unknown
Did you know that's 453,862 away from 69? Which a little side note, we did have a little mini celebration yesterday when we, reached 69 downloads of our podcast in, in three days as well. Oh, so I just want to say thank you so much to those who have, helped us with that, friends, family, people putting pity upon us, which I will take.

00:06:13:03 - 00:06:30:11
Unknown
I will take that. Yeah. Please, ladies and gentlemen, bring out your pity in your droves. If you just need to meet this and just played on record for a little pity party for James and Dylan. Pity us, baby, gives all that pity, pity a little pity party. Pity. So, And we now on the, three quarters of a century as well.

00:06:30:11 - 00:06:56:17
Unknown
So, we're flying, Dylan. We're going to be up to a million and in in no time. So, So karate. You right? That was my first job. So being in high school, I got paid fairly well. I did have more cash to spend. And then after school. Yeah, that was what I enjoyed doing. And, or at least enjoyed at that particular time.

00:06:56:19 - 00:07:13:14
Unknown
And then I got money for teaching other people how to do it. So that was that was pretty cool. Got some interesting stories along the way. So, it's it's fun. Yeah. And you kind of you meet quite a few people along the way that kind of dabble in either judo or boxing or the in May. And so, so, yeah.

00:07:13:17 - 00:07:37:06
Unknown
Very interesting characters in the, the combat sports circle, as you can see online or like the UFC. Nice. Eddie. Any run-ins with Steven Seagal at any point? No, no no no, Mr. Seagal was. Yes. Yes. Mr. Seagal was was busy, moaning, complaining that he can't get resisted. Yeah, I know he will always, forever be complaining about Jim.

00:07:37:06 - 00:08:03:14
Unknown
Resisted. Well, my first job. Mountain warehouse, Weston super mare, high Street. Very privileged that, I was taken on board by, what would eventually be the best man at my wedding. Man, it was beautiful. Divine intervention where I walked in. It was the third shop I'd been in that day. With my curriculum that day, my CV and he said, hey, hey.

00:08:03:16 - 00:08:19:19
Unknown
He said, hey, hey, that's pretty normal. Hey, hey, you little whippersnapper. Why don't you come out back for an interview, which, very naively, I did. I mean, hindsight, because anything, you know, with Canavan at the back and just you could have been the Harvey Weinstein in the outdoor retail world, but fortunately he was not. It was all good.

00:08:19:19 - 00:08:40:09
Unknown
It was all above board and above trousers. So that's good. That's all about choice. Good. And I sat down and we spoke about my, my hill walking in school and my team leader abilities and blah, blah, blah, blah. And he looked at me and asked me, James, what is the name of the shop? And I went,

00:08:40:11 - 00:09:07:09
Unknown
As I frantically looked around the kitchen. Now the kitchens of Mountain Warehouse are famous for having no branding of Mountain Warehouse in the whatsoever. Yet, because you scan through that room, I went everywhere. I was, looking at folks. No, Smeg. No, it's not that either. Fort King warehouse, and it was none of those. So I said, Matt, I've got to say, I saw tents, I saw boots, I saw all these good things, and I just wanted a job here.

00:09:07:09 - 00:09:31:02
Unknown
And he said, well, that's magical chains, because, my manager, who I hired me, asked me the same question, and I, I didn't know it either. And the rest is history. Truly a beautiful moment. And we spent a lot of time hide and seeking, in Mountain Warehouse, going into the back of the jackets. In the coats, in the middle of the day, obviously, to try and find each other.

00:09:31:02 - 00:09:55:12
Unknown
And, Matt made the fortunate mistake of getting under the wooden bench where people tried boots on once upon a time. And it was a quiet day. I believe it was a Sunday. And then all of a sudden, a family joins us to try on some boots. So poor Matt, I just see his eyeballs like a cartoon character in the shadows, looking through, potentially seeing his career.

00:09:55:12 - 00:10:15:03
Unknown
And it's freedom. He is the manager he bought. He is the manager. It was a manager. That's a, you know, statute of limitations. I think he's absolutely fine now. But there was a whole bloom family sat on that bench and his allies looking through just that. It was basically looking like the bars of what he would eventually look like when he was in prison because, not a good look.

00:10:15:23 - 00:10:30:24
Unknown
I mean, if he was discovered, I assume he's he would have still been above trial. So we would have had no issues. So, he he was very lucky. Obviously, I did catch him, because I knew he was under there, so I one is the. These are the main you were you one more than just the game.

00:10:30:24 - 00:10:50:07
Unknown
I mean, the fact that you had the story, you got that moment. I think it's pretty funny. Pretty funny moment to kind of have in your your repertoire of moments or memories to kind of look back to. Yeah, we have that now. So, Dylan. Yes, your three words for your I mean, you were a karate instructor.

00:10:50:07 - 00:11:27:00
Unknown
So did you go to a specific place for your three books? Yes, I did, so linked to that was, was Clip Street, which translate to translates to Rock. Rock Street in, you know Spock. Yeah. Well, it sounds like you lived in The Flintstones because you're older. That's that's how they Pebble Avenue. That's honestly. Well, I think actually, like, the streets that followed that particular one, like the, I mean, close to that was, was all Irish, Irish kind of themed street.

00:11:27:00 - 00:12:00:17
Unknown
So it was like Killarney, blarney. Oh. Oh. Flava. Yeah. I, was definitely heading towards, Oh Flanagan's. Oh, man. I ran Branigan's McGettigan offensive shows. Yes. So, something like that. But anyway. Yeah. So Rock Street, that was the location and link to that location. Were three words. And this is actually if you type in the exact address, then you get these three words linked to it singing steroid.

00:12:00:19 - 00:12:27:13
Unknown
Ooh scenes. Oh, right. I think it's a credit. So they were singing steroids and singing steroids and then a scene. Oh yeah. So we have our team. Perfect alliteration title. That sounds very good. Well, I mean, you should be pretty wound up, because last time, we did visit, a late night karaoke bar, with a particular, interesting genre of of staff.

00:12:28:01 - 00:12:50:17
Unknown
Mr. Miyagi's, which is fantastic. So we should be warmed up. I think everyone enjoyed our singing. Especially that lady who appeared to be angry. My screamer version of Jason Mraz. I'm yours. But I assume she was actually just very passionate. Because who doesn't want to hear, in a nice evening bar? Well, I was repeatedly, we, you know, we should be ready to go with the singing 100%.

00:12:50:17 - 00:13:12:04
Unknown
Yeah. So we have your three words singing steroids and singing songs. Nice. Let's see. These are the scenes of the singing. These are truly sets. Well, my three words. Performance in my house in in Weston super mare. Similar to yours, they do have a bit more of a flow. They don't seem as random. In fact, these don't seem random at all.

00:13:12:06 - 00:13:30:09
Unknown
I have live couple and games. A live couple in games? Yeah, I don't even have to rejig them. They're there for me. Yeah, in front of hundred percent. And that's why you rejig them? Because you never do the obvious. You like Dylan? You know what? I'm going to switch it up. Yeah. Yeah, you will be. You may find out soon.

00:13:30:09 - 00:13:55:08
Unknown
So, these are our words. And I'm just going to quickly take you back, Dylan, to, our first episode, when I was worried about giving my postcode out for my original house, then I was worried it would become an, frank house and blah, blah, blah. A friend pointed out to me that a postcode in England covers quite a large span, maybe 50 to 100 houses.

00:13:55:08 - 00:14:25:18
Unknown
Are you really? Yeah. The information that I did give out, loft lies and something actually gave the most specific location that I could possibly give for my childhood house. What a thunderclap I am. Truly. What a fucking idiot trying to hide where I lived. But by also giving the audience exactly the most precise, location that you could give, which is the the great thing about what three Words app is, it does give you a really super specific location.

00:14:25:18 - 00:14:44:18
Unknown
So, if anyone is going to, keep tabs on all the places I give, I must warn you that, my first my first home, my first workplace, my first pet, my first is none of my banking information. Any any more. So don't even try, okay? It's there's no way that you'll be able to hack me.

00:14:44:18 - 00:15:01:09
Unknown
You'll figure me out, and it's not as much money to take anyway. But I thought I'd get ahead of that because it could, it could bring me into a lot of trouble, especially if we're just yet, like, So let's find the location of your first pet. Let's find the location of your mother's maiden name. Like, these are the kind of things that's going to get people into your bank.

00:15:01:11 - 00:15:20:01
Unknown
Okay, so, Dylan, as is now tradition. Yes, Tom, for us, we're going to go to the Tom Tom sweep. We're going to flip the tom Tom sweet to see who goes first in today's three word story, Dylan. Tom. Tom. Oh, no. Tom I actually feel it's your turn to call it. Okay, well, I'm going to go Tom. Tom.

00:15:20:01 - 00:15:42:22
Unknown
Because who wants to go to the stupid writing on the air? Because I don't know what to call the other side. To his thesis. Oh, that's tom toms. And towns and cities. We've gone to Tom tom. Which means, ladies and gentlemen, today's first story will be James's coming right up. Story number one. And back to the podcast.

00:15:42:24 - 00:16:10:05
Unknown
Welcome back. Thank you for joining me. Welcome back to the thank you for joining. So today's three words live couple games. Now I had a little bit of a word with myself. I'm going to stay away from anything pornographic because I will admit, I'm still in my 20s. So these are the kind of things where your brain goes.

00:16:10:05 - 00:16:31:20
Unknown
And I will always, as far as I know, be a man. And this is where your mind usually goes. So I'm stressing that I'm pulling away anything, that may be conceived as pornographic. So. Yeah, as before, they've done a little bit of research on this one. Okay. And I think sometimes true stories are some of the best stories that you can have in 100%.

00:16:31:20 - 00:16:59:17
Unknown
You can take I do a great take. The Tiger King, for example. Yeah. That was a phenomenal story. The true real footage all took us by surprise. So again, I'm going to real life for this one. This is away from the celebrity world you'll be pleased to know, but I'm actually going to take you back to the 70s, where we had a semi popular Olympic style show called The Live Couple Games.

00:16:59:19 - 00:17:21:03
Unknown
So it's Olympic style games televised on TV around the world. It would be international countries the big boys, China, UK, Japan, South Africa, they were all there. Okay, listen, listen, I know the podcast will accept your petty, but the South Africans will not accept your petty. Did not have to say this. That's fine. I just say otherwise. Anyone.

00:17:21:03 - 00:17:46:16
Unknown
It's cool. Some some aggro. But I'm going to tell you a story today for the live couple games and the controversy that happened in Moldova in 1972. So we're back in 1972. We have the Olympic style live couple games, and we have the usual we have the big players, we have China, we have Japan, and we have little old Moldova.

00:17:46:16 - 00:18:16:00
Unknown
Now, Moldova was they were having a bit of a rebrand. They'd come out of pre-war times and they were trying to get on the big stage. And what was a bigger stage at the time than the live couple games? A games where a couple or two people of a man and a woman would be bound together by the leg and they would compete in Olympic style games, think 100 meter sprint running down the track, but your leg is tied to the person on your side.

00:18:16:01 - 00:18:45:19
Unknown
Think high jump, which is two people essentially running into a horizontal bar and not getting very far at all. Think javelin, where two people have to run holding the same javelin javelin throw to throw it, and that is indeed Dylan. The live couple games there were sports in the live couple games that were discontinued. Unfortunately after the the issues of the 1932 swimming event, where several people drowned, it just doesn't really work.

00:18:45:19 - 00:19:10:13
Unknown
So we're mainly track and field, fencing, as well, which you have to hold the same sword, does very well is a bit of. Okay. So that is the, the, the live couple games. So, the live couple games are governed by Kellogg, which is the cut of couples legitimacy. Organizer of games. Kellogg. So we have the last couple of games governed by Kellogg.

00:19:10:15 - 00:19:41:07
Unknown
So we have Moldova hosting for the first time. Now, Moldova at this point had never even won a medal, never even gotten to the podium before. So Moldova, the country that people were relying on, their couple, Igor and Guy, then they were their ultra athletes originally. And I mean, look, as I said, true sorry. Yeah. True stories. I do find are better than most.

00:19:41:13 - 00:20:03:08
Unknown
I tend to, I tend to make the mistake of genuinely thinking that these aren't, real stories or well-researched stories. So, I don't know, I do apologize. No, I know I mentioned it before, so I don't many times I make it very clear I'm going to shut up. And you know what? I'm going to listen to the story.

00:20:03:10 - 00:20:23:24
Unknown
Let's go. I mean, so we have the factual, real people of Moldova, which, e guy, e guy and and an eagle, eagle and e guy, which are genuine. I couldn't even fucking remember that. Okay, hold over names. It's got nothing to do with a hangover. Moldova, if you don't know, Eastern European country, they speak Romanian.

00:20:24:07 - 00:20:59:20
Unknown
And a population in 2024, around 2.5 million. Okay, so a reasonable sized country, but especially at the time, had not found their sporting prowess until Igor E Guy and gal, thanks to, I know, hit the stage and they were all over Moldova. They were all over Moldova. They were. They were on billboards. They were on TV adverts selling home flakes and communist style clogs.

00:20:59:22 - 00:21:25:01
Unknown
Hence the whole link between the governing body and hence why it all made. Because, back then, the majority of Moldova's GDP was made making clogs for the Dutch. Not many people know that. But that is exactly how they made their money. So I go I guy 100 meter specialists. We have the heats and these guys blitz the heats.

00:21:25:06 - 00:21:51:09
Unknown
They make the their rich counterparts China, America, the fast nations, Jamaica. They made them look like chumps in the heats. And they fly through in the Moldovans go crazy. Yeah, yeah. They're heroes. They're national heroes. Dylan getting in to the finals. Now, everything for Moldova was really on this final. They didn't have a say in the javelin. The discus?

00:21:52:08 - 00:22:12:21
Unknown
They don't actually have horses in Moldova, so they couldn't compete in the showjumping events. Which is a shame, because truly, it's a spectacle to watch two people riding a horse. You just want to jump, say they actually pull all their. And they do the work themselves like people. Right? Each other. Exactly. But they also, if people ride each other, that's an interesting take on it.

00:22:12:21 - 00:22:34:10
Unknown
Maybe it could have been two people riding each other for the live couple games. So the crowd going wild. The anticipation is huge. It is race day, the hundred meter final. Like the Olympics, the live couple games really centers itself around the hundred meter final. It's the it's the show games. It's where people come to see that race smashed in the gold medals.

00:22:34:10 - 00:23:14:17
Unknown
Risen a guy, an eagle. They prep themselves, they set themselves on the chalks, race starting chalks. I think that's what they're called. And they look up the crowd silent. Now, at this point, it's important to tell you the in the live couple games, you have to be bound together by a clock regulated leg sleeve so your left leg and your partner's right leg will be into this clock regulated sleeve and bound to show that that two participants are held together and no foul play.

00:23:14:19 - 00:23:52:14
Unknown
So everyone has their clock regulated sleeve on the referee lifts his pistol to the sky. Moldovans fans ushered in silence. The anticipation is killing them. Bang! There, off the I go, an I guy catastrophe. The crowd shocked. They cannot believe their eyes. The clock officiated. Sleeve gets caught up in the chocks, rips, and people cannot believe what they are seeing in front of them.

00:23:52:16 - 00:24:23:14
Unknown
What you would imagine when a couple are unbound in their clock, regulated sleeve, that they would split apart and fall over, separate as two individual people. But what they saw was a guy. An eagle was still bound at the leg. Eagle eye, an eagle were actually Siamese twins. Everyone's looking at each other, confused. Shocked. What now? What happens?

00:24:23:16 - 00:24:42:02
Unknown
It does states in the rules that if anyone's clock regulated sleeve gets caught up in the chucks, that the race must be reran. But the the clock officials are looking at each other. This is unprecedented. What what does this mean? What do we do? The Americans are saying they must be. They must be banned. Get rid of them.

00:24:42:04 - 00:25:15:16
Unknown
Another one saying, let them run this pandemonium. Moldovans hopes are resting on whether they can race or not. And they all start chanting together. And I've got the Romanian words here. Laser eyes, I say in track a laser is sassy entry a gay laser size. I say the track. Let them race, let them race, let them race. The clock officials sound like you guys.

00:25:15:18 - 00:25:51:00
Unknown
A thousand insects will now poison your anus for the next year. Laser a size set intrigue the clock officials. They turn around. They've made that decision. The Moldovan couple, Igor and Igor. The cost. Keep it together. They shall race. And once again, they're on the trucks. They're staring forward the crowd. No, it's coming home. Very much not like England, but exactly like Moldova.

00:25:51:00 - 00:26:23:23
Unknown
And they will be bringing this gold medal home. The referee holds his pistol aloft, pop one leg after the other. The central large middle leg, the out legs, and they smash and obliterate their opponents. And they take home gold for Moldova and for the first time, any games the Moldovan national anthem was sung. And I actually have the Moldovan national anthem here, translated to English, because I really wanted you to understand the passion behind me.

00:26:23:23 - 00:26:57:16
Unknown
Speak Rumanian. Okay. No. Okay. Well, I it's too late. I've translated only got the English version. So as they are there on the podium, medals around their necks, the Moldovan flag raised. We get to here. Moldova. My Moldova, my heart. You have. Don't say I didn't told you. Moldova. Moldova. We win. I have forewarned you. Moldova. Moldova.

00:26:57:18 - 00:27:31:04
Unknown
We will dominate the world all over Moldova. Moldova. And with the tears running down the faces of the Moldovan athletes, the crowd, like this day, will always be remembered and is celebrated around the world. And ever sports days that you have from that day. The three legged race was invented and spread around the world to celebrate I guy and I gals epic victory for Moldova, ma'am.

00:27:31:04 - 00:27:52:19
Unknown
So now what started with the live couple games on that day in 1972. We now have the birth of the internationally known three legged race. And that's where I come on as what I mean, I normally like race with three legs, but you do that, why you waddle them, get 200%? Yeah, it's not good. That's why you're banned from school races as well.

00:27:52:19 - 00:28:20:10
Unknown
Just running with your deck out all the time is it's not a good look. So, look, I think it was important to bring, Moldova into the podcast. I don't think they get enough of a mention. Which is a shame. Beautiful country, beautiful people. We go to. And now for the second story. Heartily, Hi, James.

00:28:20:11 - 00:28:47:16
Unknown
Yeah. So, son, my turn for my story. Singing steroid scenes. Incredible alliteration. Set you up perfectly. I'm sure that there will be truly scenes after this 100% again. Kind of, just reiterating that I my thinking was slower than normal. God help. You mentioned that you weren't going to do anything or you weren't going to mention anything pornographic.

00:28:47:19 - 00:29:21:07
Unknown
I cannot make that promise. But I did want to, and I will make that promise that the next story will be all about the belt. However, for this one, it might still, just just kind of glance. It might just be in that direction, but. No, hopefully the, Well, hopefully the next words, gape, vagina spread or something like that, because it's going to make your job very, very hard or a very good margarine commercial maybe, you know, that's that's fate.

00:29:21:09 - 00:29:50:12
Unknown
Right. So singing steroid scenes. Singing steroid scenes. Now you might just think, oh, Dylan, are you going to tell a story about the Rock in the game plan? And, no. Yeah, yeah. No, because that kind of definitely jumped to mind when I was thinking about someone singing, might be a controversial topic, but he most likely would be on steroids.

00:29:50:13 - 00:30:16:18
Unknown
And yeah, he does a lot of scenes, but allegedly. Okay, I am going to to go a bit deeper. Mine. It does that relate? I want to graphic this E nope. Okay. Good good. So so so in terms of, of a deep, deep feeling or at least a you should it's it's the pornographic part. Fucking man.

00:30:16:20 - 00:30:55:24
Unknown
My can't my English my English. It's just leaving me right now. So let's get to the point okay okay. Sorry sorry sorry. Basic gym bro. The guy's name. Gym. Okay. Giant gym. The gym. Jim the gym, bro. Okay. He has an addiction, right? And his addiction is linked to steroids. But it's probably if you kind of diving deeper into his addiction, it would probably be people's approval.

00:30:56:01 - 00:31:21:02
Unknown
Because he needs to look like an, like a Greek god because he's addicted to the compliments. He's addicted to the approval. And thus he injects himself with, I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not sure what all the steroid names would be. Anabolic, I think, is one of them. I think she invented one of them, anabolic steroids.

00:31:21:06 - 00:31:49:05
Unknown
Anabolic? She had, I think she had something to do with that. I don't know if, And then there's, like, an exam you have to do, when you get extra test around or second round test or something like that. Oh, it's. Yeah. I said no road test, I think so. So anyway, he, he heard of this a group who is kind of like an AA group because it wasn't just Alcoholics Anonymous.

00:31:49:05 - 00:32:26:16
Unknown
It actually included some of the other people that had addiction issues. Needless to say, most of the people at this particular AA meeting that he was looking to join were, hardcore alcoholics. I mean, cocaine addicts, quite a few things. Like, that's what I meant by deep sounds like. Yeah, some people struggle with addiction. But anyway, so Jim, again, knowing he has a problem, then figured, let me, let me go to to one of these meetings.

00:32:26:18 - 00:32:54:23
Unknown
Now they get there. It's apparently gotten great results. So I figured let me let me go and see what the the big hoo ha is and how how things of this success for the people that that go, they seem to cope up now first day comes up to the meeting, right. However, the not the person heading the meeting.

00:32:55:00 - 00:33:29:17
Unknown
Then it gives out, an assignment and the assignment is, listen. We are going to dive in deep. And I want you to observe some scenes of some of your favorite artists singing about addiction. Right. Okay. So that is that is kind of what we will do. And then we'll reconvene next week. And then we can kind of open up the discussion.

00:33:29:17 - 00:33:51:09
Unknown
So again singing about addiction, oh scenes of singing about addiction. And it's it's this the then so I always I was going to question how many people would describe an AA meeting as a who. But it it makes total sense to me. Yeah. Because it's it's like a singing and some who. It's a who. So now that I think about it.

00:33:51:09 - 00:34:13:13
Unknown
Yeah. What? Because that's what we do. We do. John. Johnny. Bravo. Yeah. What you that. Yeah. That's actually still the. That's probably why I can't get the date. Because I, my release is literally me going right. And then the Eagles, normally aren't on to what what what the fuck is this? What's this? Having a stroke? Yeah.

00:34:13:13 - 00:34:57:01
Unknown
What's wrong with you? Like. Well, I was trying to, And then you never happened to look at me. Maybe anywhere. But anyway, so he listens to the assignment. Or at least he makes some notes. He decides. All right, listen, I'm going to go back, and I'm going to take this seriously, and I'm going to have a think about as to why this is an issue and why I need to look perfect, why my lats need to be a certain size, why my quads need to be a certain size, etc., etc. and yeah, fast forward a week, Jim gets back and they reconvene for the meeting.

00:34:57:03 - 00:35:26:00
Unknown
And people are people are really delving deeper, dive deep into whatever or not whatever. Sorry. Their addiction and songs came up like the A-Team by Ed Sheeran is about is about a crack cocaine Eddie, and it's an AA meeting, so it's very much on brand. It makes sense who the A-Team in the AA eight A-Team sound like we're Canadian.

00:35:26:02 - 00:36:01:10
Unknown
Breaking the Habit by Linkin Park and people really, really described with quite some emotion and read the lyrics and they kind of went through, what those words mean to them. Some of the ladies in the group more so resonated with, sober from a Demi Lovato or recover from Natasha Bedingfield. And other people resonated more with, can't feel my face when I'm with you the weekend.

00:36:01:15 - 00:36:19:24
Unknown
What is phenomenal is we we've put very limited amount of time in preparing these stories, and if you are fucking rattling these songs, these titles and these artists, I actually have a problem.

00:36:20:01 - 00:36:44:01
Unknown
I can't stop sniffing glue. This is the only way I could listen. It's not the glue that's the problem. It's just, it's like you really have an in-depth knowledge of. Of what? A potential addict. Bailey. My baby listen to. And then trying to get over it. It's 100% that I never want to see your Spotify. Yeah, ever.

00:36:44:01 - 00:37:06:12
Unknown
It sounds like a depressing fucking place. Not actually. I actually think my, Though the people at Spotify, I think I've broken the algorithm because they, they can't place what I actually fucking listen to because it might, it might be Celtic music one day. The next day is like grunge rock. And the next day is so easy. Probably it might just be Barbie Girl.

00:37:06:12 - 00:37:28:09
Unknown
I can imagine that your algorithm has given you these, like Alcoholics Anonymous or Abuse anonymous kind of things because they assume you're on meth because they have the shit. Do you listen to this guy? Must be. Oh, if he listens to Demi Lovato. Yeah. Is. So let's let's give him these kind of songs that may make him think about is substance abuse.

00:37:28:11 - 00:38:00:17
Unknown
So okay. So falsify thinking you're a meth addict makes total sense. And okay. So getting back to Jim, he got there and people really like I said dive deep into the issues. However, he did not understand, or at least from a starting point. They went to many people referring to steroid overuse because there aren't too many artists that suffer from steroid addiction.

00:38:00:21 - 00:38:26:19
Unknown
It makes sense. There's so cocaine, not so much biceps. Yeah, yeah, my hips and things like that. So, he was kind of forced to make up his own song. Okay. All right. And he kind of described to the person hitting the meeting saying, listen, I do apologize, like, I don't I don't resonate with with Chester Bennington.

00:38:26:19 - 00:38:55:07
Unknown
I don't resonate with these deep songs. So I have formulated my own, but I'm sure I misunderstood the the assignment. So please just don't bother me. All like like, don't worry, I'll just listen for a big dude. Jim is surely, you know, he's definitely a bumbling fucking, you know, Jesse kind of guy. Definitely. Yeah. Fuck no. That's just me.

00:38:55:07 - 00:39:15:21
Unknown
It. So he then said, no, no. Like we all handle it in our own ways. We would love to hear the song. Needless to say, the system song. Oh, wow.

00:39:15:23 - 00:39:29:20
Unknown
He linked it to him. My anaconda don't want none.

00:39:29:22 - 00:39:58:20
Unknown
My tastes run. My, my testosterone is climbing. Can't you see? Injecting needles just feel so beefy. But these gains ain't worth the pain you seek. As my heart's racing. Ain't no mystery I like big lats. And I cannot lie. When you other jive the gym brothers can't deny. And when a man with an itty bitty waist walks in with a small thing in his pants.

00:39:58:20 - 00:40:31:03
Unknown
You get jacked. Boom. End of story. Yeah. Sorry, I it's I could not again. We did this with a limited amount of time and I'm not the most lyrical person, but I beg to differ. After an extremely unique. Yeah, it's song, that I've never heard the likes of ever. Yes. I think I think that is masterful genius.

00:40:31:05 - 00:40:50:11
Unknown
Thank you. I think I might be able to, put backing track to that. There were actually, I think I think that I might revisit the song because, like, I was really onto something over there. I kind of struggled maybe a bit with keeping tempo. But it was very odd to coming up with the idea of this.

00:40:50:13 - 00:41:13:16
Unknown
And now I had to revisit the words of Baby Got Back, and I never thought I would kind of do that. And then I had to think about issues of the steroid addiction, or at least steroid use and the side effects of that. And put that into a song. So, yeah, I've really felt the power behind that because you, you, you're dealing with a big subject.

00:41:13:18 - 00:41:37:08
Unknown
I know the men and women suffer, largely with, with these kind of abuse. And it's all about the image and with Instagram and, and the internet and everything to accentuate what a perfect body should be, has really depressed people and led people down really dark avenues and sometimes even suicide. So I'm glad, Dylan, that you have managed to sum all that up, all that pain.

00:41:37:10 - 00:42:06:00
Unknown
Well, that negativity, it's a really good baby. Baby got. Let's say we got the baby. Got that? Yeah. That is the title baby got that is that is a great shot. Well incredible stuff. I would love to hear that again. Maybe more rehearsed movements, music. At some point. Actually I'll actually write out the song, and then we'll, we'll link some music to it, because.

00:42:06:02 - 00:42:25:22
Unknown
Yeah, yeah. I think the problem is this song might actually be so popular that it could accentuate steroid abuse. And people want to be like the song, because he like Big Lots and he cannot lie. Yeah, well, I guess I mean, just to get back to my three words, in case you guys didn't know, but it was it was singing steroids and scenes.

00:42:25:22 - 00:42:51:04
Unknown
But yeah, I tried to to connect the story of Jim, of Jim going to this meeting, kind of just going into the scenes of the singing and then relating that to some sort of addiction and his will. Steroids. So, yeah, it was that, that was that, I think, I think a beautiful stories all around obviously yours of the, make believe world of Jim and the Jim.

00:42:51:05 - 00:43:14:24
Unknown
I like how the all of the creativity went into the song and very little anywhere, anywhere. So thank you very much. I like how you were. Yeah. Like I fucked up the names. Let's admit a few times it's not my fault. No, because they're true and real, and I did not make them up myself for comical effect that they weren't English names as far as I know.

00:43:15:00 - 00:43:32:21
Unknown
And maybe I'm being a little bit stereotypical by calling everyone Eagle, in the in Eastern Europe. So it would have been better if I was making it up to go for a name that is the same place of the location that he was from. I'm Jim, from Jim. Jim, Jim. I would argue genius. Really, really, truly genius.

00:43:32:21 - 00:44:02:06
Unknown
And I think it's been it's been a learning curve. I think for those who are suffering with steroid addiction, please seek help. Have, maybe think about your own song. If there is not that song that talks to you out there, maybe you could start with therapy. Yeah. Anaconda style song. And for those out there who may be thinking that it's always the big boys who win in life, maybe you can reflect on the 1972 winning couple for Moldova.

00:44:02:17 - 00:44:26:17
Unknown
And and really, really think anything is possible in the world. 100%. So those were today's three word stories. I greatly apologize to anyone who's had to listen through this. Hung over, stricken, maybe slightly subdued. I don't know, we'll have to listen. But thank you so much for everyone who is supporting listening to us. As with three quarters of a century downloads already.

00:44:26:21 - 00:44:48:15
Unknown
Fantastic. Thank you very much. And we've only just got got started. We're listening to feedback. We're going to change it. We're going to be less hung over and there is more to come, ladies and gentlemen. There's going to be songs, there's going to be more improv. There probably will be more hangovers. But please download, follow, like, subscribe, everything you need to do.

00:44:48:15 - 00:49:14:11
Unknown
And please join me and Dylan. Well, Dylan, he did that well on cue. Now that would mean to Dylan that you names Dylan. Please join James and Dylan next week on three word story.
