Backstage To Breaks: A Life Update
Send us a Comment, Question or Request, we'd love to hear from you
What happens when a sold-out show has tech issues and still becomes one of your favourite nights? We open up about the final Mammal Not Fish gig, the moment our in-ears died mid-medley, and how a quick pivot, a well-timed bridge, and a sexy jazzy sax improv turned near-disaster into electricity. Then we share the bittersweet call to end the band’s live chapter where it began, and why that doesn’t mean the music is over—unreleased tracks and remote sessions may yet see the light.
Away from the stage, we shift into making: MnF Productions is live, and Davey is deep into Tales from the Mammal Frequency, a one-man audio drama series inspired by Twilight Zone and Black Mirror. Writing, performance, sound design—the works. It’s a new creative lane built on storytelling, mood, and late-night listening, and we talk through how it will roll out.
Life outside the studio got a moment too. Hannah’s Tenerife trip brought quiet pools, big slides, and a sky tour where Saturn’s rings and the Andromeda Galaxy felt almost close. Health-wise, colonoscopy results came back clear—relief, yes, and still no neat answer. Family updates include a birthday and a remarkably quick recovery from knee surgery. And then the big curveball: Ancestry DNA. Years of assuming Irish roots gave way to a very English profile with a Viking tint, plus a trait report that nailed hitchhiker’s thumbs and missed on dairy. We get honest about what data can tell you, what it can’t, and how identity lives between genetics and everyday life.
If you enjoy candid tour stories, creative pivots, travel notes, and a surprising DNA reveal, you’ll feel at home here. Follow, share with a friend who loves music and storytelling, and leave a review to help more curious listeners find us.

The 3rd of August, sorry. I I I yeah, I It was that long ago.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:It's so long ago that I've forgotten how to talk and look at a script at the same time. Script. Uh bullet points. Actually, there's only ten bullet points?

SPEAKER_03:There you go. Movie magic. How's that?
SPEAKER_00:Um so yeah, so we are going to cover a life update and then an ancestry update. Yes. Because um, for my birthday, which yeah, no one knows about because that was on the 17th of August. So I I grew grew another year older. I I obtained another year older.
SPEAKER_03:You got closer to 30.
SPEAKER_00:I uh yeah, I was trying to avoid that. I am now the tender age of 20. 29.
SPEAKER_03:You're pushing, you're knocking on 30's door.
SPEAKER_00:You're like hello, 30. Let me in, let me in, let me in. Yeah, so I'm 29. 29? And yeah, I got an ancestry kit for my birthday. So we will we will leave that one to the end.
SPEAKER_03:We will, we will. Who bought you that, Hannah? Oh, you did. I did. Sorry, I shouldn't mention that. Yeah, I bought you that.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
SPEAKER_03:So we're gonna have a yeah, as Hannah said, this is gonna be a a whole episode about life update because we've done quite a bit, haven't we?
SPEAKER_00:I feel like you have.
SPEAKER_03:I've just been chilling. Yeah. Waiting for you actually. Well, the reason why we hadn't recorded for so long was because Sundays where when we record on Sundays, they got a little bit packed over the over the summer period with other stuff going on.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, so so I had a holiday which we'd actually anticipated for. Yeah, we'd anticipated that one. We got that one locked and in. Yeah and then a wedding turned up, which which I did know about, but for some reason didn't really allocate that time for, so a very important wedding in uh in the family came up. All weddings are important, huh? Oh yes, but Yes. This this was an immediate family member, I feel, so yeah. Um and then um you had gigs, and you've had things going on. You're going to Alton Towers without me. Absolute sacrilege, by the way. And yeah, you've just you've been cancelling on me a lot, actually. I had to it's you.
SPEAKER_03:It was me because because the Sundays we had uh so the band, because obviously we had we had the gig as well on the side.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, that was it, yeah. The rehearsals. That's why you kept cancelling.
SPEAKER_03:The only day that we couldn't we we could all get together was on the Sunday, because a normal rehearsal session is three hours, but we did six hour sessions because because we needed Pierre, and it wouldn't be unfair for Pierre to travel all the way from London for three hours to then travel back, so we did six hour sessions.
SPEAKER_00:So what you're telling me is it's Pierre's fault.
SPEAKER_03:It's Pierre's fault, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:But for the loving kindness, yes, for for the yeah, I get you.
SPEAKER_03:But yeah, we had the uh we had our gig on the 3rd of October, which you were at.
SPEAKER_00:I was.
SPEAKER_03:You were there.
SPEAKER_00:I was.
SPEAKER_03:In fact, not only were you there, you kicked the whole thing off.
SPEAKER_00:I I did.
SPEAKER_03:You did.
SPEAKER_00:A pre-recorded kicked everything off.
SPEAKER_03:Yes, you did a pre-record where it was like uh your voice coming over the radio.
SPEAKER_00:It I was in the news news presenter, would you say? News presenter voice. Yeah. Which is not too dissimilar to this podcast. No.
SPEAKER_03:I think I'm a little bit more casual on this podcast, but I think you started off because you said, ladies and gentlemen, here is the news. Oh yes. And then it was good fun. Yeah. I enjoyed that. But what we like because me and Benji put that together. We. So me and Benji uh we we put the the start together.
SPEAKER_00:Sorry, I'm feeling very French today. I've I've I've dropped two French phrases.
SPEAKER_03:We.
SPEAKER_00:I mean we it's very poison.
SPEAKER_03:Poisson. Oh I I know. Well we'll we'll say about that. Sorry. Uh so yeah, me and Benji put it all together. And did you hear the uh the bit that Joe's voice, we put Joe's voice in there as well? So we have a confession to make.
SPEAKER_00:Not from memory.
SPEAKER_03:No. So we have as a band, we have a little bit of a confession to make. Uh, I don't think that uh Darren Edi or uh would have actually heard this, would realise this. Sorry, I'm I'm messing my words up.
SPEAKER_00:I don't know who Darren Edi is.
SPEAKER_03:He was a footballer for Norr City.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_03:So when we recorded our one of our EPs, right, we were at the studio and there's a thing on in Norfolk called Canary Call.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
SPEAKER_03:Right. And Joe, drum drummer Joe, he said that he was gonna ring Canary Call up and put on a stupid Norfolk accent.
SPEAKER_00:Right.
SPEAKER_03:Right. And he went down into the other room to do it, and we were like, he's not gonna get through, and we were listening to Canary Call. And then all of a sudden, Darren Edy, who's one of the radio presenter, said, and now we're going over to John from Docking. And we were like, Well, that's where we are.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, because we were at Jack Studio. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:And then all of a sudden, we just heard Joe's voice come over the radio, and it went, Ha, hello Rob, hello Daryl. So we called him Daryl instead of Darren. Right. Like to get it right. It was so funny. But we actually got the excerpt of that black canary call and we took it, and it's actually in one of our songs, it's in Tear You Apart in underneath.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and you did not know that. Yeah, and we actually put Level Upfish Law right here.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, and we put it in the uh in the start of the show as well. So that voice, that that voice was Joe when we when we called up Canary Call for a laugh. Brilliant. But there's an even funnier story than that. So when we released Tear You Apart, and we went on BBC Radio Norfolk, and we were being interviewed about the single and it was how it was all gonna come out, and I sent them the wrong track. So Which one did you send them? I sent them Tear You Apart, but there's two versions because at the end of the song, it goes into that radio bit, and we did that as a bit of a laugh.
SPEAKER_00:Right.
SPEAKER_03:Hello Rob, hello Darrell, hey E Kit get caught on offside, did he? And that in bearing in mind, we were live on the radio, the song finished, and all of a sudden we all just heard hello Rob and we all just like shit. And I was like, turn it off, turn it off, turn it off to the radio presenter, and she did kind of stop it, but oh my god, that was just like yeah, we could have got into a lot of trouble for that. But that was yeah, bit a bit mammal lockfish lore there. Cool, but yeah, it was a sellout gig.
SPEAKER_00:It was a great gig.
SPEAKER_03:Did you enjoy it?
SPEAKER_00:I danced my little little socks off.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I thought I was gonna have a heart attack because uh I'm 50 running around a stage, and I was very energetic.
SPEAKER_00:You were very energetic. You put on a great show. You you and Pierre, particularly, very energetic. Um, even though you had technical problems, very funny interlude that Pierre did. Elevator music, well I'd call it elevator music, lift music. Yeah, that was very funny. So you combated that very professionally, I must say.
SPEAKER_03:So, what happened with the technical issues? Uh, do you actually know what happened? I'll tell you.
SPEAKER_00:I have no idea.
SPEAKER_03:Right, so we all wear in-ear monitors because the back-in track uh has the backing track on it, has the cues, and also the click track. Now, the reason we have a click track is for Joe, so Joe can keep in time, but also it's got cues in there so we know when to come in.
SPEAKER_00:Uh now on the Can I just stop you right here? Because I feel like this might be a little bit technical for some listeners. Okay. Just in case they don't know how this works.
SPEAKER_03:Right.
SPEAKER_00:And I feel I'm I'm listening and I'm like, I know what this means, but I just suddenly occurred to me that maybe not.
SPEAKER_03:Okay, you explain what cues and click tracks are.
SPEAKER_00:Basically, so let's go right back to the start. In-air monitors, so um musicians tend to have something playing in their ears to let them know when to come in on the song because that you can't hear yourself on stage.
SPEAKER_03:What you hear on stage is not what you hear out in the crowd.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah. Um and then what you what you hear on stage as well, you need to be able to hear yourself coming back. You can't just sing and then uh and then or or sing or play or anything. Exactly. Uh without without some sort of you know, backing. Because when when you uh when you rehearse, you're all together in a room and obviously you can just natively hear each other, but on stage it doesn't quite work that way. No, it doesn't. Um so um so you have something in your ear to not only hear yourself but also hear your whole band, but also artists also use like click tracks and things to make sure that they're in time. Yeah. Um cues to make sure they know what verse they're singing up next as well. Some people put lyrics on, like the first line of the verse. Yeah. Because it's so easy to forget when you've got a whole massive production show, regardless of whether you're Mammal Knot Fish in Waterfront Norwich or Ariana Grande on a stage, you know. It it is the same thing. Like you need, you know, there's there's lots of distractions, there's lots of things that go into show, and therefore you have this basically this track to ensure that you remember what to do, when to do, and and how quickly to do those things.
SPEAKER_03:Exactly that. So, and also what I hear in my inn is Layman Hannah out. Yeah, what I hear in my in ears is different to what Joe hears, and it's different to what Ben hears because my vocal is a lot higher in my ears, but Joe needs the click track really loud so he can that he can keep in time. Benji has more bass in his ears so he can hear he can hear the bass and the like. But what happened was the the first three songs that we did, we merged them into one. So it was one long click track. And the first song, fine, started off, but halfway through the first song, Joe lost his in-ear monitor mix, so he couldn't hear anything, anything at all.
SPEAKER_00:So all he could hear was just the things on stage.
SPEAKER_03:All he could hear was that was the bits on stage, which was not great. He could not hear a thing, but because of that, because of the cues as well, I realised that Joe had lost he'd lost track of where he was, and when I looked back, I was then concentrating so much on Joe, keeping him thinking shit, you know, keep you in time. So I missed being the drummer, yeah. I missed the cues in my ears. So when Tear You Apart started, I missed the verse. One, two, three, four, and then I was supposed to come in. I didn't hear that. Oh so I then realised the song had changed, and I was supposed to be singing, and we were halfway through the first verse, and I looked at Benji in absolute horror, and Benji's looking at me in horror, and we're like, we have really messed this up. So I then I went over to Benji, I said, Right, I'm gonna come in at the bridge, and I managed to turn my cues up so I could hear where it went bridge. One, two, three, four, and then I came in. And then because there is also a gap in bre in break my stride, where in that gap there's just backing track, but we had to turn the backing track off at that point because it all went wrong, right? And because then there was gonna be a pause, I then looked at Joe and was like, shit, there's a pause in this song. People are gonna think if we haven't got the backing that the song is ended. What are we gonna do? Um I'm communicating whilst singing with Joe, all of this on stage, and Joe went to me, we'll end the song at the pause. And then I looked at everybody and we were all looking at each other, working it all out, and it worked. Now I don't think many people noticed.
SPEAKER_00:No, I didn't notice.
SPEAKER_03:No one noticed we were having a mare.
SPEAKER_00:But it's I also oh is this revealing something? I don't know your songs that well. That's what I'm trying to say. Scandalous! Everyone was singing our songs, weren't you? Yeah, I mean, I was singing your songs, I know them, but I don't know them well enough to be like, huh, he started on the like I don't know them from a technical level of oh, he started on the bridge rather than the verse. Like I would never have yeah, it wouldn't have occurred to me. I would have thought, oh, they're just changing it up for the show if I'd thought, oh, I thought that was a verse.
SPEAKER_03:That's what a lot of people thought we did. Yeah. That's what but we didn't. We it then stuff, but it's okay. And then after that, we managed to get the in-ears working again, and the rest of the show was absolutely spot on and perfect.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, it was awesome. And even though you know you made the audience aware of the technical hitch, you did it in a very comedic way. Yeah. It's like, ah, we're having a technical difficulty, and then Pierre was just like on the on the sacks. Very good.
SPEAKER_03:Welcome to Jazz Club.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it was very jazzy, but you know, what else could he do? He can't fix the issue, so he's like, Oh, I'm just gonna play.
SPEAKER_03:He just played. But did you know as well that when when Pierre joined Jay and Phoebe on stage, that was improved.
SPEAKER_00:I do.
SPEAKER_03:That was improvised. You do, you told me.
SPEAKER_00:But yeah, what a champ.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_00:Probably um, he stole the show for me.
SPEAKER_03:He did, and that was so funny when Benji was going. We we did like a a a call and response with the audience. It was like you say mammal knot, or we say mammal knot, you say fish, like that. And then we put the uh microphone to Pierre, and what did Pierre say? Poisson.
SPEAKER_00:Very funny. It made me giggle. Yeah, you also covered Authority Zero, Summer Sickness.
SPEAKER_03:We did cover authority, and I didn't get that to you. Yeah, I pointed at you in the audience and said, My daughter's over there, and everyone looks.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, everyone. Everyone looked, and yes, that was that was that.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, that was that. Um but we also made an announcement that night as well, didn't we? You did. So it was very sad. And the announcement is that Mammal Not Fish is no more. That was our last gig. It was it we came full circle. The waterfront was where we played our first gig ten years ago, and it's where we played our last gig.
SPEAKER_00:I don't think this is the end.
SPEAKER_03:Well we'll see what happens. But it is because everyone's busy and just just the time and life gets in the way.
SPEAKER_00:Life gets in the way. I think I don't think it's the end.
SPEAKER_03:Well, I do we do have a load of tracks that we haven't released, and I have already called Benji.
SPEAKER_00:Post phalamus. That's when someone dies. Posthumus.
SPEAKER_03:Posthumous. Postumus. Yeah. So I have or I have already called Benji and said, look, we've got all these tracks that we never released. Shall we shall we do something with them? Like MIDI the instruments, and Pierre can do some sacks remotely and and the like and see see if we can release it. So um it might not be the last, it will be the last Mammal Not Fish gig, but it might not be the last you hear of Mammal Not Fish.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
SPEAKER_03:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00:Oh but still.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, because I've also started the MF production company as well.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, you have.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Do you want to talk about that?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, could so MF is Mammal Not Fish, of course. So I've now started a started a MF production company, and I've been doing some writing.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
SPEAKER_03:I have. I've written I'm now up to ten. I've seen it.
SPEAKER_00:You said twelve to me yesterday.
SPEAKER_03:Yes, no, I've written another two. Yes, I did write another two. So I've written. I've written twelve, and they will be released. They're one man radio shows, and they're called, and the whole series is gonna be called Tales from the Mammal Frequency.
SPEAKER_02:Lovely.
SPEAKER_03:It's very Black Mirror, it's very Twilight Zone, and they're all gonna be independent stories written, acted out on like like using the podcast equipment and then released, and we'll be putting sound effects on there and music to it all. And I mean it's gonna be a while before they're released because this is gonna be a lot of work. I'm gonna be I'm doing it all myself. So writing the stories, performing the stories, uh editing it, adding bits in. It's yeah. I might have to even record a few and then release them afterwards. So it'll probably it'll probably be months before it comes out.
SPEAKER_00:And now you've said it, you have to do it.
SPEAKER_03:I now have to do it.
SPEAKER_00:And you but you've already done me the uh uh Yeah, I need to work on it. But yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, you've you've already started branding. You have already started our branding. Thank you. So MF Productions. Yes. Which I was thinking about as well, as as doing BDBD podcasts as part of MF MF Productions.
SPEAKER_00:Put us under your umbrella.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:So what about you?
SPEAKER_03:I've been talking for ages.
SPEAKER_00:You have been talking.
SPEAKER_03:So what about you, Hannah? What have you have you done anything?
SPEAKER_00:I went to Tenerife.
SPEAKER_03:You did, you went on a swingers holiday, didn't you?
SPEAKER_00:There were no upside-down pineapples. We did not go on a swingers holiday. We had a lovely time, just us two. Um just us, it's weird that you're saying that. Oh, what did you do? Actually, can we just go back to the gig? What I found what I found funny about there's a particular song that you do, which is um uh Everyone but me.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And it's funny I sing the lyrics. What the the um um self-drinket, you're ready for the weekend, everybody knows you're gonna be sleeping with everyone but me, right?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And I'm singing that out loud to my dad singing that about someone that he wants to or wanted to sleep with, I guess, in your youth. Do you know how backwards that sounds? How many, like, how many daughters can say that they they've ever been in that situation? It was a real weird moment where I just I just like sat back on my heels and was like, yeah, I'm singing about my dad's love life to his face whilst he performs it to other people. Like it was a really like that I don't know, it just doesn't sit right. It's really funny. And then I was thinking, like, I wonder if like Kelly Osborne, for example, ever feels that like felt that way about Ozzy. And like I was trying to think of like other famous daughters, Ploma Faith, like being another one. I was like, I wonder, like, you know, how yeah, I I I just wondered how like they're singing their own father's songs back to them, and they're not always like the most kid-friendly thing to sing back to your parents, especially Black Sabbath songs, yeah, exactly, exactly. So but yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Um But that's the thing, their songs, their songs.
SPEAKER_00:I know their songs, but it's just so funny to me standing there singing about your love life back to you.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, well, the funny the funny thing is is that particular song, as I as I announced that night, that there are two versions of that song. Yeah, yes. And the the original version, we we've never performed that live. We can't. It's it's bad. Yeah. It's bad, yes. Anyway, so you can't. Yes, so I went to Tenerife. Yeah, so we went on Swingers Holiday.
SPEAKER_00:All inclusive holiday was absolutely gorgeous, did nothing, um, which was good, laid by the pool for a while. Although we did go to Cyan Park, which was awesome. Water park there.
SPEAKER_03:Um, Mitchell went on that bloody great water slide.
SPEAKER_00:Um that's the only thing I didn't do there, because uh not for me. But yeah, he got out of it, looked quite cool coming out of the end as well, like played it off quite cool, even though it terrified him. Did he get a wedgie? I don't didn't ask him actually, but I'm gonna assume yes.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, because I when I watched the video of him coming down, that was my first thought. Was like, oh that looks like that's that's going to be.
SPEAKER_00:He has quite long swim shorts, so I don't know. Not 100% sure, but maybe. Again, wasn't wasn't discussed. And then um Mitchell and I had a um because it was just us two, um, we bought uh a game, a card game that we that we love called Cribbidge. Um we took that with us and um I won with four games in hand. Did you really? I absolutely smashed him at Cribbage. Yeah, it was brilliant. Um so that happened. Um we saw some surfers, some windsurfers as well. Apparently it's quite a surfy little place we went to.
SPEAKER_03:Beach is very black, isn't it?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, volcanic um volcanic island. There's lots of volcanoes on Tenerife. There is many, many volcanoes. And to top that off, we went to one of the top sort of edge of top of top of the map. Tenerife, the map, if you will. We were, I think it was a thousand feet above Ben Nevis. So if Ben Nevis was on Tenerife, we were a thousand feet above that, which is quite cool. And we saw Saturn. Yeah, very cool. We saw Saturn, we saw Andromeda Galaxy.
SPEAKER_03:Sorry.
SPEAKER_00:Nice. And uh we saw some stars, I took some pictures of stars, very cool, and yeah, just had a whale of a time.
SPEAKER_03:Whale of a time. Whale of a time. So you saw you saw the Andromeda Galaxy?
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
SPEAKER_03:You saw Saturn? Did you see Jupiter?
SPEAKER_00:No, not wrong time of year for Jupiter.
SPEAKER_03:Okay.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, saw some constellations as well, and they put them out, like, this is Virgo. Um I was like, oh okay, that doesn't look like a a sheep, but thanks. Yeah, none of them looked like that. One of them looked like a teapot. Again, didn't really see that one, but I think it's because we're British, they were just sort of laying into the British theme thing going on. But yeah, it was very cool. Didn't see my own star sign because apparently you have to go a few weeks before your birthday to get your star sign, it's after my birthday, so didn't see my star sign or Mitchell's, but um but we saw some that was fun.
SPEAKER_03:So you saw Saturn's rings?
SPEAKER_00:Saw Saturn and its rings, yes. Yes, yeah, very cool, very cool. Like when you look at it, you think that is just a picture that they've just put in front of the telescope. It's weird, isn't it? Like it just doesn't like can I can't conceive that in my brain that we're looking so far into the sky to see Saturn. Crazy.
SPEAKER_03:But in the in the in the galaxy and in the universe, it's not actually that far.
SPEAKER_00:I know, but it's so far. It's so far. So yeah, I went to Tenerife before Tenerife. I did have my colonoscopy results. I think we talked about the colonoscopy results.
SPEAKER_03:You said you were going, yeah, you you you discussed that you had had it. Had it, yeah. But you hadn't had your results.
SPEAKER_00:Well, there's nothing to report because i they came back all positive and fine and normal, um, which is actually quite frustrating because still don't know what's wrong with me. What's wrong with her? Um so nothing, um, according to all results, but kind of one one nice tick that came from that was that I all my cancer markers were low, so don't have cancer, which is not something I was worried about, but it's like yay, something I don't have, which is fun. Um so yay, no cancer for me, no butt cancer for me.
SPEAKER_03:But there is something that you told me that you were proud of.
SPEAKER_00:My Boston Bell score. I've already told, I've already told.
SPEAKER_03:Have you?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I mentioned about my Boston Bell score already, but basically I cleared myself out so well for the colonoscopy that I got an A star essentially. Um A star.
SPEAKER_01:Well done. Well done.
SPEAKER_00:Arsehole star.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Um so yeah, I don't think I need to bleep asshole, right? No, you don't. I didn't I used in context.
SPEAKER_03:It's F's and C words.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:F's I've never said the C words.
SPEAKER_03:No, no, you haven't. No.
SPEAKER_00:Not well, not on podcasts, and very rarely in life.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, no, but the Fs you do quite a lot. I do drop F bombs on the box. You do you do drop them quite a lot. Yes. We have to duck them out.
SPEAKER_00:So I for some reason on my for some reason on my like bullet points, I put colonoscopy results and then I You wrote sad times Sad Times, but I assume that was because I was just feeling low from the positive result.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Or neutral result, I should say. Yes. Not positive or negative, neutral result. So yeah, got myself into a sad time.
SPEAKER_03:Were you sad because I went to Alton Towers without you?
SPEAKER_00:Well, that also has upset me greatly.
SPEAKER_03:Well, the reason why we went to Alton Towers was we weren't originally gonna go because we bought it as a present for Anthony and Hillary. So my brother and sister. Yeah. Uh because Hills, uh, as you know, as a lot of people in the podcast world knows as well, is that she is from America, she's from Florida, and she grew up in Rand Disney Park. So she's been to Disney Parks countless times. She'd never been to Alton Towers.
SPEAKER_00:That's crazy. Crazy.
SPEAKER_03:So we took her.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:So, well, I'd say we took her, we bought her and Anthe that, but then Hills rang us up and said, Well, do you want to come with us?
SPEAKER_00:Oh.
SPEAKER_03:So that's why we we we went up to uh went up to Alton Towers and didn't take me. Um didn't take you. And we did actually say to Hills and Anthe when we got there, because of course it's Alton Towers, and of course, coming from Florida and Disney, we were like, Don't don't have highest high expectations here.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Don't do you know this is the best we got. This is the best yeah, this is the best we've got. This is this this isn't Universal Until Universal comes.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, this is the best we've got.
SPEAKER_03:But the funny thing is, one of the first rides we went on was Rita. Yes, and I even said as we got onto Rita, I said, like the the rock and roll coaster in um in Disney is much faster than what Rita is. And we got my we got onto the ride.
SPEAKER_00:100% sure that's true.
SPEAKER_03:Exactly. We got onto the ride, and as we got off the ride, Hills turned to me and she went, That bloody well isn't. Yeah. She said that was much faster than rock and roller coaster.
SPEAKER_00:How fast is Rita? Is a hundred kilometres per hour. And um sorry for the taps. Rock and roller roller coaster at Disney World. 92. It's eight kilometres an hour faster. An hour faster, which is actually quite a considerable amount.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. So yeah, Hillsbone got off. She put no, that was definitely faster than rock and roller coaster.
SPEAKER_00:Damn. So yeah, yeah. So yeah.
SPEAKER_03:We were the only thing we didn't get to go on, um, which ended up was Smiler.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, what a shame. That's one of the best ones there.
SPEAKER_03:Because I wasn't gonna go on it.
SPEAKER_00:No, I know you're not kidding.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, I just do not like that ride.
SPEAKER_00:And also, and oh do you know what?
SPEAKER_03:Because it broke down while we were in the queue. And when they said it said, sorry, it's broken down, we're gonna have to you know close the ride down now. I was like, thank God for that. Because oh, I just do not like that ride at all. Just horrendous.
SPEAKER_00:It's a shame they didn't get get to go on it though.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Did you tell them like all the fun facts that I tell you when we went round?
SPEAKER_03:What the fact that someone lost their leg on Smile.
SPEAKER_00:No, that's not a fun fact. I very rarely share that fact about that coaster. It's it's because it's not the coaster's fault, and a lot of people blame the coaster and how it was made, and it wasn't the coaster's fault. Yeah, that's why I have so much faith in coaster compared to human.
SPEAKER_03:But we would talk, but Hills did say actually she would like to go to was it Plopsyland with you? So I think she wants to go with you, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Plopsiland is so good. Yeah, it's only got three coasters, but they're three cracking coasters. Yeah, it's so worth it.
SPEAKER_03:So what's there? What's that Pelopsyland?
SPEAKER_00:Three coasters.
SPEAKER_03:It just sounds like shit world.
SPEAKER_00:No, Plopsyland is definitely more geared towards younger children. They have a lot of things for young children. But there's three big rides, so you've got um Heidi the Ridey.
SPEAKER_03:I'm sorry, what?
SPEAKER_00:It's called Heidi the Ride. Heidi, I think, is a Belgian French cartoon for kids, but it's a wooden coaster and it's kind of geared towards that, so it's called Heidi the Ride, but we call we like to call it Heidi the Ridey.
SPEAKER_03:I'm sorry, have you never sorry, I'm I'm looking at you. This is where I feel like I've failed again as a father.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, is Heidi not a French German?
SPEAKER_03:Hi Heidi is like from the Swiss Alps and she was Yeah, that's that's what the coaster's geared on. Yeah. You've never seen Heidi?
SPEAKER_00:No.
SPEAKER_03:Is it Do do do do do do do do? I can't remember the theme too.
SPEAKER_00:Is it is it a British cartoon then?
SPEAKER_03:No, it's Swiss.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, it's a Swiss cartoon.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, it's not cartoon, it's live. It's live action.
SPEAKER_00:No, these were like cartoon people.
SPEAKER_03:Are you sure there's not like a there might be a cartoon spin-off, but Heidi, Height and was it Peter the Goat Boy?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, there was quite a lot of goats and sheep on it as well. Okay.
SPEAKER_03:How old is this? Oh, it was done like 60s, 70s.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, okay, right. So not not in my sphere then.
SPEAKER_03:We watched it, we watched it when we were growing up.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, well, that's you'll love that then. Um that's Heidi the Ridey. And then there's and then there's one called House of Something.
SPEAKER_03:Basically, the house in New Orleans.
SPEAKER_00:Not quite that, but that's that's a really cool coaster. Has lots of inversions. And then the main attraction of Plopsaland is Rider Happiness, which is made by Tomorrowland, which is um it's a multi-dimensional coaster, which means that it goes upside down, normal coaster tracks and everything. It's got a couple of launches on it, but the actual cars themselves spin, but quite slowly, so it's not like 1974. Uh, there's definitely a cartoon spin-off, like modern day cartoon spin-off for sure.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, Heidi.
SPEAKER_00:That's not that's not what it looked like at all. They must yeah, they must have a cartoon version of it now. Oh hang on.
SPEAKER_03:Is that it?
SPEAKER_00:No.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_00:No, it's it's modern, modern cartoon.
SPEAKER_03:Okay.
SPEAKER_00:Um but anyway, yeah. Um so yeah, we can take it to Plops of Land.
SPEAKER_03:Yes.
SPEAKER_00:There you go.
SPEAKER_03:There you go. Yeah, there is it is Heidi Girl of the Alps. Yep. Yeah, it is.
SPEAKER_00:Would I lie to you?
SPEAKER_03:Would a lie to you, baby?
SPEAKER_00:Would a lie. Oh yeah. Because I remember because they were playing the cartoon in the queue line.
SPEAKER_03:Ah, right, okay.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, so it's got three main crosses, and then the rest is just awesome theming. Even the kids' section, it's just worth going in just to look at what they've done with the place. Nice cool.
SPEAKER_03:Nice, so cool. Uh what else we had? We had so your mum had a birthday.
SPEAKER_00:She did, yes. Your mum had.
SPEAKER_03:She turned 42.
SPEAKER_00:32.
SPEAKER_03:But also, your poor mum has just gone into hospital or just come out of hospital for a knee operation.
SPEAKER_00:I feel like you you could say poor mum, but she's dealing with it very well. She's recovering very well. I think we should actually word this in a positive light. Mum has a new knee.
SPEAKER_03:Yes, she does indeed. She does indeed.
SPEAKER_00:Don't be negative, be positive.
SPEAKER_03:She was I mean, to be fair, she wasn't she wasn't in there that long. She went in there only an hour and a half and then she came out.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. She stayed the night in hospital for fun. Oh. Do we tell people that? I know what you want to say.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:She might not be like, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_03:No. That's fine.
SPEAKER_00:We went and visited her after her operation. Um, and um And she was still on the drugs. Yeah. Um but we won't, we won't go into it. No, but we're gonna. Um but it was um It was funny. We did f we did record it actually. But well, we actually you recorded it. I said don't record her, she won't like it. But she did seem up for the recording at the time.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Um but we we we won't share or anything about it.
SPEAKER_03:It was funny, bless her heart. But yeah, she's uh so she had that done last Friday, and she's already up and about she's up in Morcam today.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:A week later.
SPEAKER_00:Randomly, yeah. She's she recovers from things very quickly, and uh she got like the best compliment ever when they were like, Oh, this is the healthiest heart rate of a healthy human. Probably um probably like s of someone in their twenties as opposed to her act.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, she's recovering very, very well. Yes.
SPEAKER_00:Doing well.
SPEAKER_03:And also the you know, her leg wasn't swollen. Uh there was just a really you know, I think the scar's.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, I haven't seen the I haven't actually seen the wound yet.
SPEAKER_03:No, well, it's still it's still covered. Covered. It's still covered, but you can tell that I mean the the bandage that's over it isn't that big.
SPEAKER_00:No, no, no. No, it's like a little uh it's like a line, isn't it?
SPEAKER_03:Like a yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it's like um She's not she's not worried about the scarring though. I asked her about it and she said she's not too worried about it. I don't think it's gonna be that bad.
SPEAKER_03:I think because I think it was quite a small small incision what they did. Yeah, I don't think it's gonna be that bad. These days. These days. Like I'm old. These days.
SPEAKER_00:Um so yeah, is that everything you wanted to discuss? Shall we go to Ancestry.com?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, because I mean my biggest things were the gig, Tales from the Mammal Frequency, MM productions, and all the work that I've been doing in the background on that one. You, Swingers Holiday, and um yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Not swingers. We stayed just us two.
SPEAKER_03:But yeah, so yeah, this this so we bought you I bought you an Ancestry kit.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Uh because obviously we're not blood related, so it would have been it would just be interested to see what yours come out as.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:And you found some interesting things, didn't you?
SPEAKER_00:Uh I did. I um I found some funny things as well. So I've I've got some traits to share with pe with with everyone as well. Um so kind of thought because of my skin tone and ginger hair, um, that we thought there was probably some Irish in me.
SPEAKER_03:A bit Celtic.
SPEAKER_00:Um, turns out there's not. None at all. No Irish is in my DNA uh ancestry at all.
SPEAKER_03:Um well, let's just caveat that for a second, sorry to jump in. Remember that the information is only due to how many people are within the database. Yeah, yeah. But they were I would say the that could be true because my Irish is very high. Yeah. Which we know that anyway, so there are Irish people within the database. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:So that's we know that's a fact, but I I am not in that DNA circle, which is um which is actually quite a shame because I've referred to the Irish as my ancestors for quite a while throughout my life, just thinking naturally, just because of the way I look, but apparently I am not a leprechaun.
SPEAKER_03:Was there any any Scottish?
SPEAKER_00:No.
SPEAKER_03:Really?
SPEAKER_00:No. So a whopping 77% of my DNA is south-eastern England and northwestern Europe, which is basically East Anglia, Kent, and then a little bit of France and Belgium.
SPEAKER_01:That's where we are.
SPEAKER_00:Pretty much, I apparently my family has not moved, or my ancestry has not moved very far from this location at all. 13% of my DNA, 13, we're getting really low numbers now, 13% is West Midlands. Again, not sure where that goes from. West Midlands. Hi, my Welsh ancestors. Um, and 2% of that was Northern Wales and North West England. So basically, just uh avoid Cornwall, but basically, if you go up diagonally, that's me until we reach Ireland, and apparently I don't have anything in there. But fun fact, I'm also got a bit of Denmark DNA in me and some Norwegian.
SPEAKER_03:Be Viking.
SPEAKER_00:Denmarkian? Denmark?
SPEAKER_03:Denmarkian.
SPEAKER_00:Is that what you call someone from Denmark? Denmarkian. Um sounds wrong, sounds weird. Did you know that someone from Hong Kong is a Hongkonger? Sounds wrong, but it's not a Hongkonger. Oh, really? Yeah, not a Hongkongian.
SPEAKER_01:Hongkongian.
SPEAKER_00:Which also sounds wrong, um, admittedly, but a Hongkonger. Oh. Just fun fact there for you. Um I'm not from Hong Kong, just you know. I just I just wanted to share a fun fact. Um so yeah, that's that's that's cool. Um my parents are my parents, who I thought my parents were, they are them.
SPEAKER_03:Could some people went a bit Jeremy priority?
SPEAKER_00:It could have been, it could have been, but um, yeah, and yeah, that all worked out well. Um I wasn't secretly adopted and they just hadn't told me all these years. Um so so yeah. Apparently, a lot of my uh paternal side of the family have done a lot of these DNA tests. There's like a bunch of records there. So um they've already done all the hard work for me. Oh, brilliant. Which is fun. Mum's side, I'm working on. So we'll see how that goes.
SPEAKER_03:I think we need to get your mum one.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:I think we should get your mum one.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, that'll help me out with mine.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:So so yeah. Um what's uh what is I think the most fun part of Ancestry is finding out kind of based on your DNA what traits you're most likely and least likely to have. So I hearted a few that I thought might be funny to discuss. So first and foremost, I have I don't know how else to say this on a podcast, but I have really weird thumbs. And I've recently learned, as in by recently, I went in the last hour, because I looked at this literally uh just before this podcast episode, because I prepare for these episodes.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, we know, yeah. Even someone said that to me at work the other day, and someone said all the scriptures ready, it said, Well, Hannah won't read it.
SPEAKER_00:No. Um so I have something called a hitchhiker's thumb, which basically means that my thumbs aren't straight, they're bendy.
SPEAKER_03:Bendy thumbs.
SPEAKER_00:And that's not me forcing it, they just naturally are. I can force them straight, but that hurts more. This is my natural. And you have a straight thumb.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I have a straight thumb.
SPEAKER_00:Because we're not related. Uh blood by blood. Um but yeah, I have bendy thumbs, and it does say that I was most likely to have hitchhiker thumb bendy thumbs.
SPEAKER_03:Really? So it is an actual genetic trait.
SPEAKER_00:It's a genetic trait. Um, which is really cool. Do we want to see what side of the family that come from? Um, it says it says unassigned, actually, so they don't know. They don't know which side of the family that come from, but um, but yeah, I thought that was funny.
SPEAKER_03:Well I suppose if your mum did hers, then that will Yeah re Yeah, reveal.
SPEAKER_00:Reveal. Reveal where I got my Bendy thumbs from. It said that I was less likely to be artistic.
SPEAKER_03:Really?
SPEAKER_00:Do you agree?
SPEAKER_03:No.
SPEAKER_00:Cool. Maybe I should maybe I should ask you actually where you think I'd fall. Okay. Because they're kind of on a spectrum of like kind of least likely, most likely, most most of the way through, depending on what. What about desire to succeed?
SPEAKER_03:Desire to succeed.
SPEAKER_00:Like likely motivated by success, for example.
SPEAKER_03:I would say likely.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I was. I was likely, but not most likely, but likely.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Doing things alone.
SPEAKER_03:Ooh, most likely.
SPEAKER_00:Not most, but more. Ah, more likely.
SPEAKER_03:Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:What do you think it said that my hair type would be?
SPEAKER_03:Ah, red.
SPEAKER_00:So no no no hair type, sorry, sorry, let me let me explain. So you've got straight, less straight, yeah, yeah. Curly, tight curl.
SPEAKER_03:Straight.
SPEAKER_00:It's actually wavy, which does surprise me because my hair is completely dead straight. There is no curl in my hair whatsoever. Uh, what about hand eye coordination?
SPEAKER_03:Shocking.
SPEAKER_00:Surprisingly, apparently, I'm more likely to have good hand eye alternation. So um genetics, please help me out here. Like, can you make me better?
SPEAKER_03:Maybe maybe that's nature versus nurture, right?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, that is the that is definitely nurture there. What about hangriness? Oh my god. Am I am I angry when I'm hungry? I don't think you are, are you? No, apparently I'm unlikely to get hangry. And I wouldn't say that I'm that.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:If anything, I eat when I'm I eat less when I'm upset.
SPEAKER_03:Okay.
SPEAKER_00:So yeah. What do you think about my heat tolerance?
SPEAKER_03:Your heat tolerance?
SPEAKER_00:This is from mum's side. This specifically says from the maternal side.
SPEAKER_03:Uh oh, I'd say it's shocking.
SPEAKER_00:It's actually not. Really? Apparently I would be able to tolerate heat well. That is not true.
SPEAKER_03:No, I was gonna say both you and your mum when it comes to temperatures are actually your mum's got better over the years.
SPEAKER_00:Um, would you say I'm an introvert or an extrovert?
SPEAKER_03:Ooh. Extrovert.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I would say I'm an extroverted introvert.
SPEAKER_03:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00:That's how I'd describe myself because I because I am very approachable, friendly, you know, whatever, whatever you put on your CV. Um, you know, I'm all of those things, but I do like my solitude as well of that introvertedness nature.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Um, how high do you think I can jump?
unknown:Well, not very high. Not very tall.
SPEAKER_00:You are correct. According to my ancestry, I'm unlikely to be a high jumper. Oh no, my high jumping career. What will I ever do?
SPEAKER_03:You could run under the hurdles.
SPEAKER_00:I could. They never thought about that in the rules, did they? They probably did actually.
SPEAKER_03:Um just running underneath them. Coming through.
SPEAKER_00:They said clear the hurdle. They didn't say below or above, man. Uh yeah, that was uh how persistent do you think I am? Apparently, this is from both my parents, but the influence is from the maternal side.
SPEAKER_03:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00:What do you think?
SPEAKER_03:Say again, sorry, I was reading something else then and just completely blocked you out.
SPEAKER_00:Sorry. It's not how podcasts work, Father, to be honest, mate. Oh no. Mate. Ask again. How persistent do you think I am? Or very. Oh, I'm actually on the I'm likely to be persistent, but not the most persistent.
SPEAKER_03:Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_00:What about pet ownership?
SPEAKER_03:Yes, 100%, most likely. Yeah, most likely.
SPEAKER_00:Performing choreography.
SPEAKER_03:Oh my god. Yeah, no. No.
SPEAKER_00:Apparently I find performing choreography the most difficult. Yeah, exactly. I'm on the I could not be more on the bottom.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, what about playing an instrument?
SPEAKER_03:Oh, likely.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I've got most likely on that one. Playing music by ear.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, interesting. I would say most likely.
SPEAKER_00:Apparently, I'm more likely, not most likely. However, I would disagree hard. I really struggle to play by ear. Really? Yeah, it's one of my worst musical traits. What about picky eating?
SPEAKER_03:Oh, most likely.
SPEAKER_00:Apparently, I would be more likely to be picky eater, but not most likely. So although I am, I would definitely cast myself as a picky eater.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. It's uh what about um yeah, it's it's it's up there. What about quick reflexes?
SPEAKER_03:Quick reflexes, no. No, shockingly bad.
SPEAKER_00:I'm shockingly bad, and it agrees. Slower reflexes. I I could not be slower. Um apparently I'm more likely to get a runner's high, more likely to remember dreams, more likely to be self-disciplined, which I 100% agree with as well. Okay. Skin pigmentation lighter. Endurance runner more than a sprinter, also agree. Self-confidence. Where do you think I said?
SPEAKER_03:Or I would say middle.
SPEAKER_00:I'm actually on the more modest side. So yeah, uh middle, middle modest um rather than most confident. What do you think about my sweet sensitivity?
SPEAKER_03:Ooh, y I'd say it's quite high.
SPEAKER_00:It is high, apparently, yeah, because I don't eat a lot of fruit for that reason. Dairy intolerance.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, oh, this will be interesting because I know you are dairy intolerant. So I would please it must say it comes up likely.
SPEAKER_00:It doesn't. Doesn't? No, I'm like more likely to tolerate dairy. Really? So, which leads me to believe that either this is wrong or it's psychosomatic.
SPEAKER_03:Could well, could be. Could be. Could be.
SPEAKER_00:I'm less likely to develop my wisdom teeth, which is also true. I only have two out of the four that you're supposed to have. Yeah. Um, more likely to try new things. I like that one. Yeah. Um and taking naps.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, yes, we know that.
SPEAKER_00:No, apparently I'm not a nap taker. That lied. Which is a lie.
SPEAKER_03:It lies because you do I'd messaged you the other day and you went, oh, yeah, I'll message you back now, but don't message me again because I'm now taking a nap.
SPEAKER_00:In my defence, I was very poorly.
SPEAKER_03:You were very poorly, but I was very poorly.
SPEAKER_00:I would normally never say, don't text me, I'm having a nap, but I was genuinely so poorly I needed to sleep that off. But yeah, that's my ancestry. Quite shocked by the results, to be honest. Thought there was a bit more I thought there was some Irish in me, um, but none at all. None at all. Um so I guess sorry for all of the jokes I made thinking that I was part of the crew, and now I'm not part of the crew.
SPEAKER_03:You're just racist.
SPEAKER_00:Just racist, just flower racist now. So yeah, yeah, crazy. But yeah, I've I've really enjoyed this experience that I've been able to have from the gift that you gave me for my birthday. Excellent. It was very cool. I've never thought that spitting in a tube would get me so much information, but here we are. Really enjoyed my time.
