"i gave you the option of 11 30 last night which you declined so the next option was 9 o'clock this morning and here we are 20 past 9 just logging on because the streaming platform was down so we didn't we were panicking we were thinking we weren't going to get anything out and that would have you know scuppered things for the people people you know dozens of people are waiting for this malcolm so dozens and half of one dozen people are waiting for this thanks half a third of the half of one dozen people they're already commenting about how rough i look i'll tell you why barry because you've totally scuppered my sleeping plan you've my life pretty much entirely revolves around my sleeping slash napping plan"

Barry Penaluna explains the technical difficulties that caused a delay in starting the podcast recording. He highlights that Malcolm Bamford declined an earlier time slot, leading to the current predicament. Penaluna humorously notes that many people are waiting for the episode and that his own life revolves around a strict sleeping and napping schedule, which Bamford's timekeeping has disrupted.

"i went to a gig obviously chloe wanted to go see the stereophonics and it had been on the radar for a while but it was like fucking 75 quid a ticket for the stereophonics and i wasn't going to pay that so we played the long game waited until the last minute until people were trying to sell them and were very desperate and i made some derisory offers for their tickets and at about 6 o'clock last night someone accepted an offer of 25 pound a ticket so off we went"

Barry Penaluna recounts how he acquired tickets for a Stereophonics concert. He explains that he initially found the ticket prices too high but strategically waited until the last minute to make a low offer, which was eventually accepted. This anecdote illustrates his approach to securing event tickets through patience and opportunistic bargaining.

"i tried to get a pick of the day just now when you were talking barry the bloke's a dick i'm trying to get a pick and what he's giving me is he's putting me choose between arsenal versus spurs liverpool versus brighton and chelsea versus newcastle three games that aren't even taking place this weekend and normally i have to talk day to day round and i can't be arsed today so day to day is being left on the bench"

Malcolm Bamford expresses frustration with a betting platform or service he is using to select a "pick of the day." He criticizes the person providing the options, calling them a "dick," because the suggested games are not scheduled for the upcoming weekend. Bamford states he is too unmotivated to deal with this issue today and will therefore leave the daily picks aside.

"i've got that algorithm update right i'm from strutty velma you got us involved in fights in chicken shops for some reason that was not what i do he's admitted it on the show now right all i don't know the last 72 hours zoo animals have escaped from their enclosures and attacking people almost certainly ai as well ai zoo animals like komodo dragons and that at the zoo crashing through the glass and biting people's heads off i've seen gorillas attacking people i've seen tigers attacking people and i don't know why this would happen it's better than watching the highlights of flurry and birds or clips of liverpool's new striker in a newcastle top because he's going to be brilliant soon so that's gone away but it's the zoo animals attacking people so that's a new algorithm"

Malcolm Bamford introduces a peculiar "algorithm update" that involves zoo animals escaping and attacking people, suggesting it might be AI-driven. He dismisses a previous claim about being involved in chicken shop fights. Bamford finds this new, bizarre algorithm more interesting than watching football highlights or clips of a new Liverpool striker.
