hird yeah exactly yeah i was actually reading a piece janelle monne was talking about her accent slash accents in a piece i was reading last night and ryan johnson director director was telling her go bigger go bigger just make as big as you want and that i don't i don't think that's for everyone you know oh no maybe not yeah but it certainly has a size twice would i watch it you did i haven't yet seen the second time i want to i want to watch it a second time and most people i know would like to watch the second time or have watched it twice i've only spoken to one person one person and pretty much everyone i know has seen it one person spotted the key clue during it i was able to because the clue is there on screen and he's the only one and he says and i was like did i just see what i just seen and he was like he was like i've spotted it i know i do i do because he wouldn't he wouldn't try and score points i do yeah he would he'd just tell that he was like he saw the thing happen that told him have you wrapped up all your christmas watching finula uh yes oh yes i have to come out the other side that's all that's all done now i don't think there's anything left anyways i think because you're watching some kind of episodic and he's watched every christmas every christmas thing like every christmas well i finished it i think i don't watch the way he does it then i i know no one i mean i can't i can't be two years i'm still up to christmas 1987 at the moment you know what christmas you probably actually have documentary documentation uh evidence for them right okay that's good to hear um right let me see um a caller says i took one of your recommendations to watch yellow stone over christmas it was amazing satel 3am watching it excellent i just started watching it myself and it is actually really good yeah thank god for all the extra channels because tv over christmas was rubbish if a film was on one station it was on every other station uh the next night um the next night a load of rubbish scheduled telly is letting itself down it big time yeah i see a lot of people complaining about that actually yeah i don't know if it's the cost or the fact that the so many have gone to the platforms but i'd say i totally agree with that and not only that but nothing new coming to shed like all these movies that you saw it you know even a thrill you know and there's how many times can you say the rock was on the rock that kind which is a fine film but you know it's who hasn't seen it there was a few newer well i had like stan and olly was on since demon's night and they had um 1917 was on you know some of the more recent show yeah they're good ones but i because i looked down there was there were few and far between i thought it's very clear that the bbc and itv now and uh just don't really apply much to channel four are pumping all of their money into their on-demand platforms you know itvx they're all they're releasing all their new stuff seemingly on that first and the bbc are just absolutely obsessed with their their uh streaming and on-demand stuff much to the detriment of scheduled me schedule another local radio station in this area uh foil that seem to sink that everything is is online or nothing yeah they're definitely as they liked they would phrase it as streamlining their organization but they do seem to be leaving things to one side now and not focusing on the local everything is based on what you get what is popular on the player rather than what's popular from listenership yes yes yeah i which is another reason why don't understand whether maybe that's what they're planning is that they're going to start charging people for the player but we'll see it's amazing although called the midwife was on the christmas special and it was as always awesome brilliant okay is that on your list no i watched it over the it's christmas it's based on christmas it was out on tv on christmas day so unless you have it's done and i'll say yeah christ christmas is that word you can't use that word you can illegally find it somewhere because they're so mean well something don't let download it i'm not sure it's legal anyway i never fully understand that i don't understand so i just call it there is a differentiation they never understand it but you can watch you can't find it yeah okay yeah watch it limited season watch limited series treason on netflix starling charlie cox from marvel's daredevil yes really enjoyed it also watch the good nurse with jessica chastain and eddie redmayne true story and a hiring watch i think we did the good nurse on the show before interested here about treason yeah you haven't seen it though no but i but again i wanted to see what people are thinking about like again because people have been asking me about it friends have said because it's charlie cox yeah and he was in ken as well as daredevil and he's a very very good actor speaking of recommendation speaking of league uch and recommendations he recommended tulsa king silvester slone show uh and a listener saying it's a great show that's from the same guy who does yellowstone nice taylor sherdon he writes every episode i didn't even know where i didn't even know it was on uh here that you could get it anywhere over here i think it's on perma does it it's always yeah over here yeah these guys in a minute guys in a minute get perma i'm excited about that yeah i'm excited but that's his third show now if you don't include the two miniseries because he also does um jeremy renner's show jeremy renner obviously in the news because he had an accident there on new year's day uh with a snow plow but he has a show mayor of what heck is it called mayor of mayor of something eastwick no it's not that show it's it's a different one we'll be back but that's all with with the answer we'll be back actually reviewing things um we don't know jack crime we got the thumbs up big thumbs up thumbs up but you're happy with however well it hits the i mean the show it's interesting as well as they seem to have gone back to the we were talking about their last year about how um we've lost the the bad guy you know in a lot of these things it's all very kind of big yes like you know some country some country where yeah they had their sand in it or some country where you know they're speaking what sounds like a slavic kind of a type language or whatever um whereas in this one it uh season three is it's full on russia you in it's like it's full on even though it's based on a novel that was written many years ago some conflicts never really go away so it just so happens that it's quite amazing given you know that i know there's at least two or three movies that haven't come out because of the fact that there was a ukrainian bad guy or a russian bad guy the thing of the war and that kind of thing so it's it's amazing the answer should always be some level of separation between reality and art yeah i don't know why they would do it i i you know give us a bit of credit surely a bit should be able to tell but the new um the the guys that did the gentleman they had one that was supposed to come out last february and it still hasn't been gentlemen was a great show oh my god it was awesome is that the one with the movie yeah yeah it was so good it was so it was a yeah it was the one with huge not few grand it is yeah with two grand i want to set twice and call him for oh my god i definitely want you to two or three times call him for i'm i hasn't already been a couple in that franchise no no just one and no this isn't even the it's in part of it's not a franchise it's just a standalone movie but if you know what i mean it's a similar type of cast it's not going to be one that you scroll we really need to see that if you watch it you enjoy it isn't it i think yeah i know it's i never think of his name he was married to madonna the english director but he richie gay actually he like as i've said so many times people said to me we should watch it now it's like oh god i'm not a guy richie i wouldn't be into guy richie movies but actually it was phenomenal and it is a guy richie movie and you can tell right more from michael and finula and you uh listening wherever you are or watching the show after these messages great news the house proud group stock disposal

iskiheen is it device is that what you're doing in a you're close you've had sheeran that is i just heard what you said and i would watch that movie i want to see that movie as well my one of my highlights of 2022 was going to see him in crook park he was very good but it's it's it's not divisive it's it is is it yeah oh i think it is is it along our lines no no no no we've got to know well in our house we had to mix with it was one of those girls are saying to me they didn't enjoy it no i don't yeah i i i've tried to watch it six times it's hard to explain but every time i tried to watch it something happened that was distracted you and he's about two foot oh god well in no way in no way should you be watching it when he's in in the same house i'd say to find out the dance because it is it does get a bit i don't worry we weren't cuddled up in the couch it wasn't it wasn't quite like that but anyway it's a destructive force it's uh yeah it's after you like the presence to be felt but the well i just think it's one of those things i'd love to hear from listeners because i know many times over the christmas with friends and with family you'd start talking about different things that you're watching you know the way over the christmas you kind of catch up every three or four days or two days whatever what are you watching what are you doing i had been recommending the band to you finish here because i really liked it and i uh i enjoyed it and uh it ended up with many surreal disagreements about why it was good or why it was bad because it seems to be it's one of those things where people either really didn't like it or really loved it you don't get a lot of people say no no it was fine well in my world i don't get a lot of people say oh no it was fine most of them are like oh god who why why would why did we end up watching that that kind of thing this year do you think this year would be if there was a way of tracking it maybe the year where record in a record way people chose their own viewing over christmas like i'm thinking of that film became available to stream on disney i think it is uh the onion island film glass onion or whatever it's called um and you know i don't because hodson was sick over christmas maybe i was out of touch a little bit but i didn't hear the doctor who he kind of talk or the mrs brand everybody's watching the thing yeah you know what i mean it's yeah to be what people were talking about i just wanted to this year more than ever did people plan their viewing rather than watch the live scheduled stuff i don't know maybe listeners can help with that yeah it's a good question i wonder if the glass onion movie was the one because i know a lot of people because that was a big thing for netflix it was a thing that they bought that they promoted over christmas you know it was um that might be the closest thing to being a water cooler moment where people all kind of watched it over that weekend to talk about it and they didn't see it in the cinema then got access to the the isle of any shearing just the edge shearing movie just the edge shearing movie yeah i just i just think i just think maybe this was a i think so but there was lots of different things out though because i know um and i don't know when it came out i'm to think because it's not really my cup of tea but everybody i knew as well was watching the last bond oh oh yeah it was on tv it was on amazon i actually still haven't seen that yet that's the no time today that's the last one they're no time and i i think i might try that this weekend you know i think that's what i might try that one because i need to finish it off because i've watched all the others yeah watch it yeah in quick succession yeah watch it while they're going to go the other direction with it because i watched that one i was like i think that's actually the only daniel craig one i've ever watched yeah now he's he's excellent he is he is i'm watching the handmaid's handmaid's tail at the minute and i love it yeah that's one of those it's one of those claimed shows i mean it is critically acclaimed is a bit more i tried and i didn't like it but then i'm not a big dystopian oh fine i don't like it i think when i when i get to it i probably will end up loving it it's just i haven't got to it yet for various reasons i'm not seven hundred shows in production i won't be alive when he even tried to start doing that i don't know the musical in the cinema was was great say to the listener what was that one tilde oh okay right about i've seen this winter i'm disappointed with the it was supposed to be coming out on netflix and it was talking about it coming out in netflix over the christmas that it was going to be the christmas thing and then it disappeared and now it's not going to be in netflix until the summer i did find a place to stream it and i have to say i enjoyed it but i really like to tell the story so why would they delay do you think maybe it got caught up fire in the cinemas a bit and they thought maybe that was it with the hall you know kids being off and people looking for things to do with their kids that that was it but there was a lot of talk that it was going to be it was going to be with the glass onion being kind of the adult thing on netflix onion island definitely changed the name and we that matured the musical then was going to be the kids one but now it says sometime in the summer yeah so maybe onion island and ed sheeran island and all those fellows actually are all great so good um okay uh oh wait six six six twenty five thousand great start to the new year with lots of you texting in what you're enjoying what you're not enjoying uh and what you've been watching or what you've gone to see in the cinema a man called otto from tom hanks now he's in that small band of actors that mostly what he does is good and look at this is uh nobody's going to be disappointed if you go to this as a tom hanks uh fan uh it's very much i i put it down on it because not because it's absolutely brilliant or anything it's just a really nice movie and if you kind of want to go it starts in the cinema tonight and if you want to go and watch something it's based on a book a man called of went around the rabbit family sisters at one point everybody had to read of it and it's very kind of a quirky nice little book it's all about this older gentleman and uh you know living in a small area sort of falling out with his neighbors getting cranky and then suddenly new neighbors move into the into the road that they live on and it's you know it's all about how that kind of changes over his wife has passed away and so it's i mean if you if you like things like remember there was a movie st vincent that was out years ago there was uh there's a couple of them that are kind of like in this so just sort of a nice even uh the uh it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood the tom hanks oh yeah this is just one of just really moved into that age bracket now is it whereby he is the can play the i don't know if it's cranky but the old cranky older widow well he definitely is now because sure he isn't if he's not 70 he's close to it really well he must be okay well he was his first tv show buzz and bodies was 82 he was already well into his 20s when he did that i think he might be 70 if he's not he's very close it's close to it has to be definitely honest i mean obviously now he looks great and it's Tom Hanks but he's Tom Hanks is one of those people as you say you just go into a movie and you know it's in good hands i mean he like he was in that in the Elvis movie and it's probably the worst performance i've ever seen of a time but it was still awesome i thought with that feel i thought he was fine actually in that right you didn't find the accent kind of dropped and lifted because i don't know i i was more peeved as someone who's brought up listening to alvis alvis music that there wasn't more of music where it wasn't done cleverly or fading in and out or stuff i just thought there should be more alvis music you know other than that i thought it was i wasn't um i wasn't offended by him at all not offended but you know i didn't know like as i said now i loved alvis uh i thought it was great and he was you're definitely watching but i thought he was and i was like oh that's how good it was and that he was the worst thing in it and you'd normally never know i get it in the context you know i mean i've seen in the bigger thing with it but it's not that he was bad in any way but in the in the in the whole of the movie um but in this it's just it's starting in the cinema now it's like you're looking for something to just kind of go have a little bit of niceness washed over you this is basically that this is going to be the movie for you it just has a really lovely kind of a feel good feel about it and and to me what watching and i was like well this is a nice way now to start the new year um and um whitney houston has her by her latest films in the cinema as well so there's a few different types of films yes right okay so you haven't seen this yet you've read the book though i read the book and i did watch it right okay and well that was another obviously example if you get in a pre-screening what would you give it out of ten uh i really well i really enjoyed it so i definitely would give it like a seven i mean the characters in it are very good in it and it's very now you're not you know this is not your action movie this is not your things happen in every five seconds it's not like a nice mellow it's just that yeah there's it's just a really really nice movie yeah there's a lovely kind of a story to it you're lovely feeling to it and it you just come out the other side of it going that was lovely uh greg don't forget stop in the pints while putting your cigarette on the other side of your mouth after it and spare dart on the left hand they were multi-tasking men back then tense stuff even one of the hosts lost his voice wane model but he's always over egging it anyway somebody had said the dark thuds were akin to brendan gleason's fingers off the door in the banshee of anish anish giren anish i'm just gonna say i'm just gonna call it ed sheeran thanks kevin by the way after watching the premiere of the latest bond on itv how ridiculous the villain was maybe it was because daniel's uh onion show made me cry only another 354 days to christmas i drove to work this morning and the moon was spectacular it was low and you could actually see the different you know the colors and shapes of it but i'm finished with that now the sooner it gets bright your bright morning yeah right in the morning i've seen the moon some nights from the other end and that's been really lovely like i mean it has been amazing another planet from well from being up late not being up early the other side like i'm not up i'm not up at the same time as you unless i'm up yeah okay i agree you've seen it at night it's the same moon by the way in the same cycle right okay thanks very much for that astronomer uh michael leddie just think me

year that we've had we've had the conversations with father john joe and with father philip and the girls themselves and we just recommend you know what let's just have a paired back evening of reflection gratitude and thanking you know god or each other for the friends and the family that we have and for the apps and friends and family and it's a very paired back and i'm really grateful to all the girls for getting involved and obviously there's a lot of the wild atlantic women who it you know doesn't sit because it's a friday night and they've got gigs but there's old faces and new faces and really excited about it greg to be honest you know yeah and i suppose it's about hope and and the future um as well it's in our chapel tonight at 7 30 p.m uh there's a there's a huge amount of people at it i'm not sure if we can mention them all or if it's fair to pick some out but some amazing talent just looking down through the list here everything every genre all the girls from songwriters to singers young and myself not so young and everything in between and what's new this time as well is like people would have gone to some of our bands before and would have seen a lot of the videos that we did over lockdown so what's really nice is what what has been opened up to us is you know artists that are poets and writers that you know write verses and whatnot in both english and an irish so i'm very excited about it and it's very very paired back in that the congregation that are there or the audience that some of us like to call it are more than welcome to join in and in the songs we've picked very paired back lovely hymns have left the girls with complete you know autonomy of what they want to write what they want what they want to sing what they want to speak about and literally everybody's just bringing a little piece of themselves to the table and hope that whoever's there gets to take a little piece of hope and gratitude home with them after the event i think

yellowstone prequel 1932 starring harrison ford and heron millen very good as well right yeah does anyone know what that is yeah it's the second mini series this one is going to run for two seasons oh so this is a reincarnate not reincarnation no it's the yellowstone is set kind of in modern times and then what they did was they were it it's it it's all about this big ranch and it's they own like half yeah freaking colorado it's the largest ranch in the continental united states and it's a new series of they've both they've made the ancestors they made two mini series okay which is about so the first one is about how they got the ranch the family got the ranch in the first place and that was 1883 is the name of that one and sam elliott's and that and uh a couple of a couple of country music keith oh yeah um there's a couple of country music artists and that kind of thing uh miley syris's father's in it Billy ray that's who it is i think it's him that's in it there's a couple of country music guys that are in that right but that's 10 episodes the first in that series and that's complete that's complete that's the old one and then the new one that which is just new since this new one now which has just come out last year i just didn't realize i didn't realize it was i know it's so big because this is a program yellowstone that it's fans that are talking about it i think way more than yeah critics or yes the media or whatever it's fans that are agreed to be here because it are tiered the only ones that show that and they showed it like late on a sunday night so it wasn't as if it was like they're nine o'clock thing on a sunday that everybody was sitting down to watch but that's what it so the first one is back in the 1800s and then this one then which is harrison ford and helen marionette is set in the 1923 yeah uh miss the start of your entertainment slots have you all forgiven this one time only it's 11 a.m sharp by the way um collide kaleidoscope is it kyle's kaleidoscope absolutely brilliant watching it has actors from breaking bad queen of the south which is another good show queen of the south i never finished that one you know breaking bad queen of the south just loved it edge of the seat stuff see also and english drama treason treason yes that's a nice yeah carly cox show yeah i love this one uh gene carlo esposito is from yes that's who's in yeah the chicken guy yeah the chicken guy i think that's how he's referred to in the show isn't i love tom hanks on a holiday in alabama i sat on the summer seat that tom hanks sat on in forest gump cool hopefully you have a picture of it because you're not believing you love this after i mean i need evidence i do of course um there's a storyline in east enders where two twelve year olds are having a baby what are your thoughts on this good gosh i don't know i haven't seen it um i haven't seen it either i haven't seen um i find it very hard to take so proper seriously in anything that they do to be honest because a lot of it is so ridiculous what's they've done they've done that before in it if you remember everything's rehashed isn't it but if you remember um was it in carnation street sara louise wasn't that her name gales daughter she had a child and she was like 13 or 13 years old personally my view on it is if anyone's interested in is i understand that they try and maybe uh hold a mirror up to society yeah try and reflect what's happening society i don't think that needs to be forming part of a 7 7 30 so possibly well i don't know what it adds positively to the conversation yeah and what it's all about how these things are done and as you say after doing it at 7 30 in that kind of soap opera slot i mean if this was a drama nine o'clock drama maybe you could see the reason behind it it doesn't without sometimes what it can do though is it can open up a conversation i think 12 is very now and i haven't seen this so i've said i'm not saying how they've dealt with it in east end i can't be doing with the roaring at each other yeah my pub i just give that up but i do think like 12 is a little bit young but i do think that sometimes when it comes up you can open conversations you know i remember like i think though in certain ages what i think it does then you can sort of say well it's happening and for some people say well it's happening well maybe it could happen to me like i i i actually think we need a kind of a broader conversation about how we and what we talk to children about i don't i think yeah evidence to suggest that maybe it's not as productive or as beneficial as we might think it is i just think that's something that's worth checking now and again to make sure we're doing it right it's all kids are different than as well what you can talk to one 12 year old about and what to i compared to another and you also have to factor in that there are people going to sit and watch it and not have a conversation about it because we always pretend that you're watching something that could be something where everyone goes quiet and then just move on to the next show yeah get a bit glamorized on it that's and even unintentionally glamor you see some of these shows that are on mtv and that kind of thing and it's like teen uh you know teen mom and teen this and suddenly they're like famous and they're like everything about their lives then shows up on all these other different things and you're like that's not really telling you what it's like you know to wake up in the middle of the night as you know you've experienced what you're like but you wake up in the middle of the night and and always be the one that has to be getting up yeah like six seven times in the night and not you know people doing it on their own and that kind of thing like there's a lot of of nuances that can never be played out listen there is always adult situations that applies to children right but then you talk about are we then normalizing it so in other words it's not really adult situations that applies to children it's it's just people I just think we need to be really I just think we need to be really careful where we're going and what we're putting on our children you see say for instance say for instance you know one in this affects one in a thousand children right you're having that conversation with a thousand children yeah it's the it's the benefit of avoiding the one are you in some way affecting the 919 I'm not saying that's the case but it's a valid question and I think it's what you need to ask when we come out with supplements in surveys that say that kids as young as 12 are engaged in any kind of sexual activity or lots of different things drugs there's lots of things it's not just this particular issue but lots of issues where they say I'm always curious where are the interviewing these people yeah like if they're interviewing these kids in school like I you know I don't know any kid at 12 that's going to sit there with a group of friends in school and not stick their hand up or write down and go oh my god yeah totally no matter what their level of experience or thing it's like I don't know and also one thing I noticed when the social cover issues they do it by numbers they do it with what you know the average of what happens in life yeah and then they deliver in one way or other the what is the general consensus within medicine within whichever field of that issue and that is the solution or the outcomes or the possibilities which I don't think we should necessarily trust absolutely that maybe that also needs to be they shouldn't be seen as an authority on these things exactly and I'm not personally saying I am or would I just think we have to be careful that in some of our conversations we're not actually damaging the majority to try and highlight maybe something that might affect the minority there might be a better way to approach that rather than having it on at seven o'clock and they've been here but I haven't seen any of it no I haven't you know are they doing something like this just for ratings this is because it's going to be sensational they're competing with Brookside yeah so they're trying to be sensationalized but they saw it's ridiculous yeah I mean they're doing a storyline on on Coronation Street at the moment it's hilarious do you know what I mean how they're handling it it's you know but like you just laugh you just laugh I could highlight the the the floors the plot holes in it but sure what it where would you end you could be here every Friday oh I know it's our team I mean sometimes soaps do do things well it's just and maybe they are doing this well and then it could be as possible the matter I didn't think is what is it a topic that should even be on it I think without seeing it I I don't know but the sign out times have changed you were saying it earlier about the darts but like it's definitely a storyline you would not have seen at 7 30 on any week night you know in couple of decades I don't think you fully determine whether you should see it now yeah but we definitely wouldn't have like so I mean was that you know that would definitely be post watershed that kind of adult material you know yeah well maybe that's the right maybe you speak to adults right and then they can do the parenting of their children rather than the program up to TV to parent kids you know what a wider debate 08 660 25000 uh let me see what we'll pick off the list after that after these messages

weekend uh i think it's going to be an indoor weekend i think um right let us see what is uh to discuss here i'd better give you one more here i don't know take your pick because they all have a master in titles the bear no okay go ahead yes of course the bear is on disney and the bear caught my eye because it was on several critics end of year lists for last year so i started it last night with episode one and i was absolutely blown away it was a 10 out of 10 fantastic i can totally see why it was the show of the year for many critics american film institute picked it as one of their 10 shows a year as well the bear is a half hour comedy drama right and it's about a chef and it's about a chef who has to go back to take over his family business which is failing and it's a small rundown kitchen cafe and the outskirts of of i suppose new york city what i loved about the first episode was the performance of the lead actor was amazing the show the first episode took a day in the life approach so it was kind of eight hours from him waking up in the early hours and it was all the food prep that went on till they opened they opened at lunch time that's when they opened and it was fast moving it was frantic there was people running around a very small kitchen yelling shouting screaming at each other he was trying to get order he's new he's the new boss and in the middle of all this what really impressed me is they were able to deathly put in all the backstory you need to know all the characterization we know who his cousin is we know there's a rivalry there the cousin felt he should have gotten the control of the family business so he doesn't want to do anything that the hero wants to do we also got some hints about his background this guy is an absolute genius the guy should be one of the top chefs he's on track to be one of the top chefs in the country but he's decided to come home and try and save the family business and it was it grabbed me by the lapels pulled me right in and i i can't wait to watch more it was just i love i'm one of the thing i think yeah just grab um i remember when i watched trimé i'm ignoring you when i watched trimé years ago excellent series about new orleans post katrina my favorite character on that as well was the chef i loved her story and it tracked out over the four seasons so in many ways it's the same sort of thing really she's up against it enjoy on the stage she's she's up against it or he's up against it i'm sorry for anybody who doesn't know that reference i know what he's on about um but the thing about is uh the performance and the visuals and you see random things like in the middle of scenes you see photographs from his childhood it's true and stuff at you the whole time and by the end of it i really cared about the guy and in the final seconds and it's not really a spider but in the final seconds it looked like he was going to capitulate and give in to something that his cousin was forcing him to do put something on the menu he didn't want to do and he was opening these cans and he was going to do it and you're watching it what's he going to do and then in the last second he just takes it he flings it in the bin right it's in it's a motto and i was like yeah i was like it's it's be anything and you're like because he was going to go to cheap with the cousin is like chef stop doing where everybody opens tins the cousin is forcing him the cousin is saying stop doing all the stuff you're doing it do these tins do these tins i will have to watch and he was on a half an hour and he was like he was like and then in the final seconds you're like is he going to give in is he going to give in is it going to be a slow gradual thing but he just grabbed it and he was like right in the bin right in the bin and i was going to cheer i was like yes i want this guy to win no i really want this guy i'm interested to see based on your love to know it's getting great reviews and i people have been recommending it to me for a while yeah one of my brother in laws in particular is mad about it yeah but and also i i'm almost sure this is the whole thing some of the the episodes in it were done in one take right okay oh yes so what they just did was they just did the whole half hour every day for like about three weeks got you the exact same thing and then you're and then they just took whichever day turned out the best and that's what they put up that sounds like yeah there was a lot of long glad i'm sitting in when that there was nothing for the whole episode but yeah there's times where he's just running around and somebody throws something at him from off like he wants bread and he doesn't catch it so he just shuts again and you know well that i just was like no they're just going for it you know they're not like that he just missed it again okay so there's a this work there's a kinetic kinetic slash frenetic aura to the whole thing i felt exhausted when it was over it's been an hour of it being an hour i would have slept in this morning i would have slept in this morning i couldn't handle it if it was an hour it's just i loved it loved it loved it let's watch an episode between nine next friday that's on disney disney lady shattered his lover uh can we do that in a minute i'm a core and then jack from the direct quote you can if you want is it a bodice ripper is it toned down is it i don't know if i hear those three words i think of you know i know i'm not too honest and i went to it to see what they'd actually done with it because this was the uh you know you kind of normally would have a bit of bridgerton and we'd have something like that that would sort of keep you going over the christmas get you get you get the get the fires going in a nice romantic or not lady cheshire's lover i'll tell you that um but no there's not a lot of that in it but i it's a book that's always kind of on the list you know the way it's one of those things you sort of think god i really should read that no yeah no but you could i could ask you and uh now how many episodes of baywatch were ever made and what was your 242 and which is your favorite and you'd be able to answer me probably the one where mitch's mum had Alzheimer's so we don't we don't care if lady shattered his lover's not on your list no but it netflix has redone it as they have to they go back and do it usually i have to say they've done not a bad job of some of their and stuff they've got an empress and a few other things that they've done that are dated around the same time as this i don't know is that i don't like i mean i went to this party because jack o'connell's and it which i do do like him he's in that 1917 and that kind of thing irish actor young

Botswana vs. Namibia, which country is better? Botswana, officially known as the Republic of Botswana, is a landlocked country in southern Africa. The Kalahari Desert covers up to 70% of Botswana's land area, making it topographically flat. South Africa borders of Amasalph and Southeast Namibia on the west and north, and Zimbabwe on the northeast. It is connected to Zambia by the Khazangula Bridge, which spans the Zambazi River. Botswana has a population of little over 2.3 million inhabitants, making it one of the world's most sparsely populated countries. Gaborom, the country's capital and largest city, has a population of 11.6%. It was one of the poorest countries in the world in the late 1960s, with a GDP per capita of roughly 70 US dollars per year. It has since progressed to become an upper-middle income country with one of the world's fastest growing economies. Namibia, on the other hand, is a South African country legally known as the Republic of Namibia. Its western border is formed by the Atlantic Ocean, Zambia and Angola border it on the north, Botswana on the east, and South Africa on the south and east. The Botswana Right Bank of the Zambazi River separates the two countries by fewer than 200 meters, while not bordering Zimbabwe. Namibia declared independence from South Africa on March 21, 1990, following the Namibian War of Independence. The capital and largest city of Namibia is Windhoek. Namibia is a member of the United Nations, the southern African development community, the African Union, and the Commonwealth of Nations. Thank you for taking the time to join us. Today, we're comparing Botswana and Namibia to see who is the superior country. We'll compare and contrast the two countries based on geography and terrain, infrastructure, tourism, and a variety of other factors. As the comparison continues, stay tuned to Africa Reloaded. The Population Botswana Homo sapiens initially arrived in the country about 200,000 years ago. The Tiswana ethnic group is largely descended from Bantu-speaking tribes who migrated southward from Africa to modern-day Botswana around 600 AD and settled in tribal enclaves to farm and herd cattle. The territory was colonized by the British in 1885 and Betuannaland was created as a protectorate. As a result of decolonization, Betuannaland became an independent Commonwealth Republic under its current name on September 30, 1966. It has been a representative republic since at least 1998, with an uninterrupted record of democratic elections and the lowest perceived level of corruption in Africa. Namibia Namibia's indigenous peoples include the San, Ovachimba, Ovatu, and Ovahimba, as well as a range of other groups such as the Damara and Nama. These indigenous peoples together make up about 8% of the country's total population, which was 2,630,073 in 2020, fat geography and topography. Country Size Botswana With a total area of 581,730 square kilometers, Botswana is larger than California, but smaller than Texas, and larger than France, but smaller than Ukraine, 224,610 square miles. It is the world's 48th largest country in terms of land area. Botswana is generally flat, with a few hills in the southeast, the eastern edge of the Kalahari Basin. The semi-arid Kalahari Desert covers around 70% of Botswana's area. The Kalahari is characterized as a desert due to its vast sand-covered surface area, which gets about 500 mm of rain per year in the wettest areas. Namibia With an area of 825,615 square kilometers, Namibia is the world's 34th largest country due to its location between the Namib and Kalahari deserts. Namibia receives the least rainfall of any country in sub-Saharan Africa. Namibia's terrain is divided into five geographical areas, the Central Plateau, the Namib, the Great Escarpment, the Bushveld, and the Kalahari Desert. Each has its own set of abiotic conditions and vegetation, however there is considerable overlap and variance. The Central Plateau is defined by the skeleton coast of the northwest, the Namib Desert and its coastal plains to the southwest, the Orange River to the south, and the Kalahari Desert to the east. Namibia's tallest peak, Conixtine, is located on the Central Plateau at 2,606 meters above Silo. Infrastructural Development Botswana Infrastructure has contributed a net gain of little over 2 percentage points to Botswana's improved per capita growth performance in recent years. Raising the country's infrastructure to that of the region's middle income countries might boost annual growth by 1.2 percentage points. Botswana has undertaken significant infrastructure improvements in the fields of transportation, water and sanitation, power, and telecommunications in recent years. The country, however, nevertheless has a lot of serious infrastructure problems. The most pressing is in the power sector, where a shortage of generation capacity and insufficient power supply have left the country economically and financially vulnerable, exposing the economy to power price shocks and load shedding. Namibia Namibia has a well-developed road network. The bulk of towns and localities are connected by a network of quality gravel trunk, main and district road networks totaling 48,117 kilometers, including 4,500 kilometers of tarred roads. The road network connects Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa. Private bus services run between Windhoek and Cape Town, Johannesburg, Victoria Falls, and Swakoblin, despite Namibia's absence of an official public transit system. Major sub-Saharan cities like as Cape Town, international flights are available between Hosea Kutako International Airport in Windhoek and Frankfurt. Namibia Airport's company is in charge of developing and managing the country's airports. Regular regional flights are operated by a number of privately owned domestic charter companies. Government and Politics Botswana Botswana has a multi-party system and is governed by a parliamentary representative of the Democratic Republic, with the president of Botswana serving as both the head of state and the head of government. Executive power is in the hands of the government. Botswana's administration and parliament both have legislative authority. The Botswana Democratic Party has dominated a party system since independence, never losing power. Both the executive and legislative branches are separated from the judiciary. Botswana is a multi-party democracy with a constitution. The election has been held on time and in a free and fair manner since the country's independence in September 1966. Other minorities, as well as the country's small white minority, are free to participate in politics. There are two main opposing political parties, as well as a few minor ones. At the absolute least, general elections are held every five years. Namibia Namibia is a unitary republic with a semi-presidential representative democratic government. Namibia's president is the country's head of state and administration, and is elected for a five-year term. All members of the government are accountable to the legislature, both individually and collectively. According to the country's constitution, the following are the government's organs. Executive power is exercised by the president and the government. Namibia's legislature is bicameral, with the lower house being the national assembly and the upper body being the national council. Namibia has a judicial system that enforces the law on behalf of the government. Despite the fact that Namibia's constitution mandates a multi-party system, the SWPO party has been in power since the country's independence in 1990. Tourism Botswana Botswana's game reserves, which offer hunting and photography sapphires, are the country's principal tourism attractions. During the rainy season, the Akavango Delta region, which is a network of canals, islands and lakes, is another attraction. The tourist industry provided 23,000 jobs to Botswana's economy in 2005, diversifying the country's economy away from traditional sources like diamonds and beef. Botswana's tourism business flourished in the 1990s as a result of favorable geopolitical conditions. Southern Africa experienced political stability with the end of a parfait, and Nelson Mandela's release from prison in 1990. At the time, global improvements in transportation and communication networks made tourism in Botswana more viable. Namibia Namibia's tourism industry is considerable, contributing $7.2 billion Namibian dollars to the country's GDP. Every year, over one million tourists visit Namibia, with around one-third coming from South Africa, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, and France. Ecotourism highlights Namibia's vast biodiversity, making it one of Africa's most popular tourist destinations. In December 2010, Lonely Planet listed Namibia as the world's fifth most valuable tourist destination. Nightlife Botswana The bulk of people get up early in the morning, therefore, Gaborum's nightlife is small. It includes a cinema and a cultural center that offers theater performances, as well as a few bars and eateries. Some bars provide live music performances during weekends. Namibia The Warehouse Theater is the most well-known nightlife venue in Namibia, and it is located in Windhoek, with a nearly 300-seat theater and a 600-seat standing theater. This location's construction is immense. In the area, there is also a tavern that hosts live music on a regular basis. In Namibia, Double MT is a popular destination for overnight stays. There are two dance floors, a shisha lounge, a sports bar, and a large restaurant at this social club. You can go anywhere from here if you want to have a fantastic night.  Swakabman is also one of the places in Namibia where you may have a good time at night. Both Botswana and Namibia are fascinating places, and deciding which is superior will be easy from the above facts. Botswana is my pick. How about you?
