Feel that.

GARY: And it was good calamari, mate.


- RAY: Mm.


- Like, fresh.

Fresh as.


- Not the frozen sh*t, you know?
- Mm.

The sh*t you get from the fishmongers.


- Mm.


- But what happened was is that when I put it in the fridge, I've left it in the bag that I bought it in.

Yeah.

So when I've gone to cook it, it's been in there for a couple of days
- and I've taken it out
- Mm.

Mm.


- f*cking stunk.


- Yeah.

Just rank.

It's just gone all through the house.

What I should've done when I bought it if I was gonna leave it in there for a couple days I should've tipped it out,
- washed it
- Yeah.


- Mm.


- thoroughly, put it in a fresh plastic bag
- Yeah.


- a new plastic bag, then whacked it in the fridge.


- Mm.


- And then, you know, probably would've had a chance of lasting a couple more days, you know? But it stewed in its own juices, in its own filth,
- you know? So
- [CHUCKLES]

Mm.

So it went off, and I had to chuck it out, and it was, like, a kilo of the sh*t,
- which, you know, bummed me.


- Mm.

Mm.

But what really bummed me
- is I was watching one of those nature docos
- Mm.

and they had, uh, they had a bit on octopuses and and, like, their life cycle and sh*t.


- Mm.


- And I didn't know this, but do you know how octopuses have babies?
- Mm
-mmm.


- [SHORT CHUCKLE]

The female octopus gets pregnant, right?
- Obviously.


- Mm.

And she lays eggs underneath a rock, right? And then she guards it.

Doesn't eat, doesn't sleep, and just moves her tentacles
- over the eggs
- Mm.

for months and months and months, right? And just as the eggs hatch, you know what happens? She dies?
- She dies.


- Mm.

So I won't be eating calamari anymore.

Mm.

Calamari's squid, isn't it? What? No.


- Yeah.


- Hold on.

Yeah.

Calamari's squid, mate, not octopus.

So I can eat calamari? Go for it.

Huh.

All right, then.

How many steel
-framed buildings in history have collapsed due to fire? I don't know.

Three.

All on 9/11.


- Two.


- No.

Three.

You got the Twin Towers and there was a third building.

Two were hit by a plane.

One wasn't hit by a plane.

That's Building 7 a couple hundred meters down the road, and that fell a few hours later in under five seconds.

And they say it collapsed because it got hit from debris from the Twin Towers, and then it started a fire, and that's what caused it to fall.

A controlled demolition expert said it was a controlled demolition.


- Got your radio on?
- Yeah.

All right.

See you in a bit.

All right.

Watch out for snakes.

RAY: "And so Jack went outside and started to climb the beanstalk.

"He climbed up to the sky through the clouds and saw a beautiful castle.

" How could he climb to the clouds? Uh, he must've been really fit.

"So he saw the castle and went inside.

" Why did he go inside? Well, it was a nice
-looking castle and
- he just wanted to check it out.


- Yeah, but that's not right.

You can't just go inside other people's castles like that.

Yeah, look, I think you might be a bit old for this story.


- Do you want to read something else?
- No.

Keep going, I like it.

[RAY CLEARS THROAT]

Okay, so, "Jack heard a voice.

'Fee
-fi
-fo
-fum.

' "Jack ran into a cupboard to hide just as an enormous giant "came into the room and sat down.

"On the table there was a hen and a golden harp.

"'Lay,' said the giant.

The hen laid an egg.

"It was made of gold.

"'Sing,' said the giant.

The harp began to sing.

"Soon, the giant fell asleep.

"So Jack jumped out of the cupboard.

He took the hen and the harp and he ran for the door.

"
- Wait, he stole them?
- What do you mean? Why'd he take the hen and the harp?
- I don't know.


- But that's stealing.

Anyway, "Suddenly the harp sang, 'Help, master!' "The giant woke up and shouted, 'Fee
-fi
-fo
-fum.

' "Jack ran and started climbing down the beanstalk "and the giant chased after him, hot on his tail.

"When Jack reached the ground, "he looked up and he saw the giant coming fast, "so he grabbed an axe from the woodpile "and started to chop at the beanstalk.

"After five chops, the beanstalk crashed to the ground and the giant was slayed.

"
- Slayed?
- Mm
-hmm.

Yeah, he k*lled him.


- He k*lled him?
- Mm
-hmm.

He was chasing after him, so Yeah, but he stole from him.

The giant was just trying to get back the hen, and he m*rder*d him.

[SIGHS]

Ah, I missed a page.

So, the police visited Jack the next day and they arrested him for theft and m*rder and he went to jail for the rest of his life.


- The end.


- I don't like that story at all.

Yeah, well, I'm not a big fan of it, either.

It's terrible.

The poor giant.

Well, I guess the moral of the story is, you know, don't, uh, steal, don't m*rder, or you'll go to jail for the rest of your life, okay? So don't do it.

That story sucks.

Mm.

It does.

All right.


- Night.


- Good night.

Mwah.

[GRUNTS SOFTLY]

Mm.

You ever read "Jack and the Beanstalk"? It was a long time ago.

Why? Jack was a piece of sh*t.

Why do you say that? Well, he climbs the beanstalk, right?
- Yeah.


- He goes into the giant's castle
- steals a bloody harp
- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

steals the goose that lays a golden egg.


- Yeah.


- Steals it.

Runs off.

So the giant goes after him, trying to get back all the sh*t that Jack stole.

Uh
-huh.

And while he's climbing down the beanstalk
- [LAUGHS]


- [CHUCKLES]

: Jack chops it down
- and f*cking murders him.

- [LAUGHS]

- What a c**t.

- [LAUGHS]
