They think they have a video now of... did you see that the Louvre was robbed? Isi: [0:29] Yeah, I didn't hear much about it. I saw this video as well. Mitch: [0:31] And they didn't have any... oh, you saw it? They think someone filmed two people escaping down a mechanical ladder, with the jewels, because they have no video footage from inside the Louvre. Sounds like such a... Isi: [0:43] Why don't they have videos in the Louvre? Mitch: [0:45] They do, but they said that there's the one place where they didn't have footage was exactly the place where they came in and stole it, which is like... Isi: [0:52] Which they probably knew. Mitch: [0:53] Inside job, maybe. Isi: [0:55] I mean, they can research that. Mitch: [0:56] I guess they scouted out for a while. But, funny that we speak about the Louvre being burgled because... Isi: [1:04] Did you say already we started this podcast? Oh, you don't anymore. Did we just... went in like this, now? Mitch: [1:11] We just start cas... casually. Isi: [1:13] Oh, our talk about the Louvre was already on podcast? Mitch: [1:17] Not you blowing your nose, though. I'll cut that bit out. Isi: [1:20] Good. Mitch: [1:22] This is a soft entry, we call it. Isi: [1:25] Okay, cool. Mitch: [1:28] But today, that links in with our topic today, because, we just returned back from France, and I thought we could talk about some key differences, between not, the UK and France, but very specific, I thought we could bring up differences between our two lives we have just been living, between Brighton and the south of France, specifically the Dordogne region, where we were living for some time. Isi: [1:58] Yes. Mitch: [1:58] And I've got five points, that I sort of, have realised are very different, between our lifestyle here and our lifestyle back then, when we were living in the south of France.
