[Lawrence Clauston]

Yeah. If you saw the socials of just the mandem pulling up the our kids pulling up at hip store in Manchester. I don't know why I'm speaking that accent. What is that we're doing? We're running it back with something similar in New York where Dirty water is teaming up with us. And Scars, we got a new pie dropping for one night only.

[James Harris]

New pie alert.

[Lawrence Clauston]

We got free dirties all night drink. There's also A new side that scars has developed. Just for tonight, Just for that night.

[James Harris]

Oh, I wasn't even aware of that.

[Lawrence Clauston]

Yeah, it's going to be. It's going to be delicious.

[James Harris]

I mean, the pie is bang.

[Lawrence Clauston]

All right. It's Thursday, March 20, 6:30 to 9:30pm at Scars, located 35 Orchard St. Suggested donation is $5, which gets you a raffle ticket. Every five bucks gets you raffles ticket, sir. We are raffling off a 500 gift card to Kobo.

[Lawrence Clauston]

Which is not to ruin the Fincheck, but I'm wearing. And all proceeds are going to a organization, that guerrilla organization in Uganda that is building a new school for some of the most isolated, impoverished communities in the area. I think it's going to be home to or school for up to 300 kids.

[James Harris]

Damn. Each one more.

[Lawrence Clauston]

And it's a place that I got to visit. And when I. When we were talking to Dom at Dirty Water, I was like, yo, we got to do Dirty Water for clean water.

[Lawrence Clauston]

We'll see there. 6:30 to 9:30. All right, Lawrence, we are back.

[James Harris]

Yes, sir.

[Lawrence Clauston]

Back in balmy New York City. Nothing like the scent of a New York City subway train at 9 in the morning when it's hot and rainy.

[James Harris]

Well, I will say that the smelliest alley, the stinkiest, smelliest alley we've I've ever been in was actually in Manchester. We were getting sandwiches next to a brothel.

[Lawrence Clauston]

Yeah, that was disgusting. Shout out. Tropical palms.

[James Harris]

Is that what it's called?

[Lawrence Clauston]

Yeah, I think so.

[James Harris]

Damn. Should we. Can we read Google reviews when we get to that port portion of the R show?

[Lawrence Clauston]

Maybe. I think this trip was, like I said, highs and lows. I think it was good for us. I want to start this episode off with a little land acknowledgement. But the land is a man.

[James Harris]

A man acknowledgment.

[Lawrence Clauston]

A man acknowledgment. You know, I think this tr. Like, whatever we get into a rhythm we get into not a. Just a flow, but I think like breaking that flow every so often is good for us reconnecting as homies. I want to acknowledge that I need to be, I guess, like, nicer and kinder. Just generally speaking to you. I saw some headlines over the weekend. I did not get into the comments because I refused to do that. That would have totally ruined me. But just walk around London by myself, spending a lot of time kind of thinking about it. The one thing I will say is.

[James Harris]

That there's always a qualifier.

[Lawrence Clauston]

There's always a qualifier which is fair. The one thing I'll say is that. Yes. Broad strokes, James. Be nicer.

[James Harris]

Keep it posy.

[Lawrence Clauston]

Done.

[James Harris]

Keep it posy, baby.

[Lawrence Clauston]

Done.

[James Harris]

Yeah.

[Lawrence Clauston]

What I think. And this is. This is. Here's a general blanket statement, is that, you know. No, you never know what people are going through. You never know, like, what people's relationship is. Right. So, like, yes. What I need to do a better job of is not letting stuff that happens off Mike affect on Mike.

[James Harris]

Sure.

[Lawrence Clauston]

And I'll say this. I think that you've made a conscious effort in the new year to be better.

[James Harris]

Be best.

[Lawrence Clauston]

To be best.

[James Harris]

Sure.

[Lawrence Clauston]

To be number one. To be the number one dude.

[James Harris]

To be the number one boy on the pod.

[Lawrence Clauston]

No, no. And you made, you know, you made changes and conscious and subconscious that I think has, like, positively affected all the work that you put into the podcast. So now it's on me to understand that these changes are not just like a one week whatever fad or whatever.

[James Harris]

Right.

[Lawrence Clauston]

Not a trend that you're dick riding.

[James Harris]

That I'm. I'm glazing. Positiv. Yeah. And self improvement.

[Lawrence Clauston]

So. So apologies to you and to the listeners where I'm gonna try not. The stuff that is happening off pod. I think that has, like, gone down. Right. So it's like. So then naturally the stuff on pod, my negative attitude or whatever should also be diminishing. Yeah. That's all.

[James Harris]

Yeah. And I really appreciate that. That's big of you. Didn't have to do that. And as much as I think, like, we both obviously appreciate constructive criticism. Emphasis on the constructive from the listeners. And it's like the show is nothing without them. And they pay for this product and we want the product to be as good as possible. It is always weird to me when like the parasocial shit gets like really deep in the weeds. And while I don't blame you for not reading the Reddit comments, like, it is just crazy to see some of the speculation, like, speculation, which is like James hates Larry because Larry got rich from grailed.

[Lawrence Clauston]

You got rich from grilled.

[James Harris]

I made some money, but I'm not rich. That's why the show is so important.

[Lawrence Clauston]

You already asked me today, yo, can we get paid?

[James Harris]
