It just occured to me, They did say he built the kids bed and I was pretty stoked that he did that but does that just mean he sketched it on a caf napkin on a casual meeting with a joiner mate?
I know we’re taking the piss here but I actually think he seems a good dude even if I personally don’t get anything from his output or ventures.
On the Blodney beans tip, it would be sort of ‘on brand’ if, using his nepo connections, he wangled a collab with Fortnum and Mason, seeing as they were the first shop in the UK to sell baked beans.
He did it, he wrote some good dialogue - the bit where Janine calls him an overrated skateboarder going through a quarter-life crisis. It stood out because there was actually some drama there.
Obviously the rest is still dreadful. I know it’s pastiche, but his life does seem incredibly vacuous - the Depop account being locked, all this talk about being ‘gifted’ things, the conversation with his agent about doing commerce for a Korean ecommerce platform. It’s very tedious.
Only know that because I saw it on Slap today too, came here to post it, and got a message saying it had already been posted in this thread. Which I thought was quite clever.
I shit you not, this episode contains a (very brief) Richard Madeley cameo.
I think I’ve gone full circle with this series. Kind of in love with how grandiose it all is - he must have blown so much money on this episode alone. Yet it remains steadfast in its awkwardness. Eg. Blondey goes through this whole episode with two black eyes and a bruise on his forehead, and he refuses to give the viewer any explanation as to why. Bravo! Bravo!
