Christmas Chat 2022 | The Retro Shed

[@nickylloyd9336]

Good to see you both! Fab video, made me laugh lots… Josh you look like you’ve bulked up even more since I last saw you!

[@chrisainsley3533]

Merry Christmas Barry and Josh. Thanks for the banter. Even if Josh returns time to time, and Barry gets some guests on from time to time, I'll still be a lifelong fan of the shed. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@TheRetroShed]

Thanks fella. Always good to hear from you. Hope you’re well! We’ll be around from time to time. Thanks for your support as always. :)

Great to see a new video from you guys. All the best for 2023. I adore your videos. 😎 👍🏻

[@TheRetroShed]

Hey thanks mate! Such a lovey comment. Have a great 2023. :)

[@properjob2311]

Happy Christmas guys. Have a great new year!

[@ct6502c]

This is hilarious! It's great how you both joke with each other. It's good to see a dad and son so close. Lol I don't get along with my dad at all. I hope you and your family have a great new year!

[@TheRetroShed]

Thanks. It's just the way we are with each other most of the time - constant banter and larking about! We've been doing this together since he was 12 so I suppose we've just grown used to it. We don't always get along as you can imagine! It's a shame you don't get along with yours. I miss my dad every single day and wish I had more time with him. Lost him in 2001. Make the most of the time you have with him!

[@rbmphotographics1270]

Awesome to see you both in a one off special. Thank you

[@rbmphotographics1270]

Plus I have never heard of ‘Jacked’ either 😂

[@darrenmckeown990]

After watching your latest ep (great ep by the way and merry Christmas) a random episode popped up on my KZbin recommendations, the Christmas episode from 2017. What a crazy year you guys had back then. I also forgot Izzy appeared in a number of your old eps. How’s she doing and will she be appearing in any future shows? Thanks for all your content during 2022 and I hope you and the family have a great Christmas and a happy new year

[@aj8144]

I’m an old duffer and even i’ve heard of the phrase “Jacked”. 😂

[@TheRetroShed]

I’ve had a sheltered upbringing! (That’s ny excuse anyway…) :)

[@EgoShredder]

Happy Yuletide and Winter Solstice guys!

[@DaveRepairs]

Awsome Josh, lets call this 'The Gym Shed' from now on. With regads eating u not alone, trust me. Baz, get Mandy in as replacement..... Thanks guys .. enjoyed it

[@TheRetroShed]

Ha ha. That would never work. You should have seen the last time she was let loose in the shed!

[@BoB4jjjjs]

Now that you have passed your test, you will start learning to drive starts now. Everyone makes mistakes, but there are some people that just should not be driving, idiots! They have no idea how to behave on the road. Take care out there!

[@EgoShredder]

Yeah I have heard the term "jacked" and I am the same age as your dad. Jacked = Pumped up muscles, like that cliché cartoon thing where a character gets his muscles pumped up with an air pump. However I probably first heard the term a few years ago.

[@ct6502c]

Lol I've heard the term since I was a kid in the early 90's. I'm in the US though. Maybe it was here earlier?

[@EgoShredder]

@@ct6502c UK here so that is probably why. We did not become Americanised until around 2000 ish.

[@ct6502c]

@@EgoShredder It's funny how things spread and we borrow slang from each other. I've been noticing more American KZbinrs saying "mate" lately.

[@EgoShredder]

@@ct6502c Yep we say "matey bob" if being more friendly and to someone we know. I never heard an English person say dude, until we all began watching USA TV and movies more. Also I tend to chat online with Americans much more than my own country now, and last year someone online aggressively retorted to my comment, saying it sounded American or something. So I guess I am a lot more American these days. 😅 Infact I turn to an American girl Carolyn Emerick for more accurate info on England and Europe's history than I do from our own so called experts.

I have a few 'new' retro-game suggestions for the PC: 'UnMetal'; an action adventure spoofing 80s Metal Gear and other typical 80s + 90s pop-culture. And HoMM3 like 'Songs of Conquest'; turn based strategy. Or get yourself an Agon Light; the fastest 8-bit fantasy retro PC hw for only 50 pounds; faster than a X16 apparently and it's a microcontroller that you can program from within BBC Basic too, with all the usual GPIO connections.
