Starting point is 00:00:00 Important announcement, guys, we want you to go and vote for Budpot for a listener's lobe in the Golden Lobe Awards. It's a public vote. The rest of the awards are judged by judges, but this is democratic. It's up to you, the listener. There's a link in the description, and we'd love it if you clicked through and voted for Budpod for the listener's lobe. It's Budpod 45. I bought ye chive. That would be how someone, hundreds of years ago, would present someone with a gift of chives. Yes, the gift of chives Yes.
Starting point is 00:00:34 Traditional, which anniversary is that? Which country? Which anniversary? Third anniversary. Oh, anniversary. Oh, yeah. Chive anniversary? Yes, your denim anniversary.
Starting point is 00:00:46 It's that one for every single year? Some freaks got to have set up a fucking list. We must have like, the wedding anniversaries must also end at some point where they must go. No anniversary has got, like no marriage has. lasted this long. No marriage has lasted a hundred years. Exactly a hundred year one.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Because if it has lasted a hundred years, something's fucked up. Yeah, it's like, so unobtainium anniversary. I mean, I have to start like, finally. Flutonium anniversary. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Just get irradiated. Just fucking, it doesn't matter anymore. Yeah, that was that really high-voiced helium anniversary we had. We just started going through the periodic table. But the boron anniversary. Yeah, the mercury one, we got really ill.
Starting point is 00:01:31 There's loads, there's loads. I do find age cutoffs very funny for maximum levels. There's, um, the wretch has gone. Like Lego? Yeah. What is it again? It's like, it's like 99 or something. Yeah, magnetiles has got the same thing.
Starting point is 00:01:50 And it's like from zero to 99. And I always wonder if that's why Captain Tom took his own life because he couldn't play a Lego anymore. just the fact that you'd also lie about him taking his own life as well as do you think that he'll be remembered in I have this vision of us many many years from now watching one of those like you know those programs they make around New Year's Eve
Starting point is 00:02:22 where it's like do you remember the oh like I love the 80s and the grumpy old man that was exactly did that yeah exactly and i wonder if it'll be a bunch of either you and me literally or our colleagues sitting around going god remember captain tom in lockdown and they oh wow like it's going to be this will it have just been like lost and it'll be like a pub quiz question it'll be a really niche like people will sort of go oh yeah i can't i can't imagine in 20 years time doing a pub quiz where that comes up and i go fuck what was his name lieutenant dan was it
Starting point is 00:03:03 Lieutenant Dan. I don't know if we've, have we mentioned on the podcast before the video of the woman who made a pagan paper mashet Captain Tom Hingett and filmed herself walking around her deserted suburb
Starting point is 00:03:16 kind of jigging with it on her head. Please look it up. There's two things. There are two things that I really like to look up that unfortunately no one has ever compiled. So you have to look them up individually. And one is Mr. Blobby Fancy Dress
Starting point is 00:03:31 outfits. Yeah, yeah. Because they're always like this deflated skin suit. It's like he's been on Majara. It's like like some sort of American serial killer would have, like, hung up in their bag. It's all the leather face would have. Or it's like,
Starting point is 00:03:50 you'd say he is the most senior member of the tribe. He slew lobby and wears its skin to emphasize his authority. when you become the king you have to go out and slay a blobby Blobby's head on top of your head Yeah He's gonna fuck his wife On a blobby skin rug in front of a roaring fire later
Starting point is 00:04:13 Yeah In one of his big like Colorado sort of ranches Like above the roaring fire It's like a mounted stagbison blobby Blobby You run that guy He's pointing at the blobby Beautiful ain't he?
Starting point is 00:04:25 Yeah I took him in the high plains sometime About 10, 15 years ago now, fought like a devil. Took seven elephant rounds to bring them down. You could hear the screams for miles. That's one. And the other one is Captain Tom Effigies that people kept making in 2020.
Starting point is 00:04:53 I tried to look those up because it became a real like, not a bonfire night thing, but just like a remembrance day thing. Like an activity. You know, like, people on Remembrance Day will have, like, a sort of, a big plastic, like, sort of silhouette of like a World War I soldier, like a pro, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Kind of one of those, but it would just be like a stuffed Captain Tom on the lawn, as if to ward away his spirit. Or to water away other spirits, using his spirit. Using him to ward away the spirit of Hanna-ringramore. We've... Lest she built a spa on your garden.
Starting point is 00:05:30 If you see Captain Tom in your garden doing laps, do not make direct eye contact, let him do 100 laps. At 100 laps you're allowed to open your door. It's like one of those creepy past a thing of like, someone will get in your car. Do not ask them any questions. They will ask you questions. Do not answer them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, just drive them until they get out or disappear or melt or something.
Starting point is 00:05:54 We talked about this on George Pod, George and I, about the sheer pagan horror of Paddington being sort of Valky that takes your soul to hell Yeah, her marmalade sandwiches smushed into
Starting point is 00:06:04 a tree. Yes, yeah, the pagan sacrifices. It's like it from the witch yeah,
Starting point is 00:06:09 yeah, it brings him and smushing it on the tree. It summons him. But like, do you think, and I hadn't thought about this till now
Starting point is 00:06:19 because I'd kind of forgotten about the Captain Tom effigies, which is outrageous but I had, I would have found it so dispiriting
Starting point is 00:06:26 in lockdown as a church of England vicar to see how so super quickly that people just reverted we just reverted to paganism
Starting point is 00:06:37 just of the most crude kind of just immediately I would burn his head for food like it's just insane this was all when he was still alive so he was still here like you could
Starting point is 00:06:50 you could meet you like it was like a Roman emperor he still lived in like a three bedroom semi-detached house in like Northampton or whatever it was like a Roman emperor or a guru or something. It's genuinely, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:03 But it's weird because you wouldn't go to him for advice necessarily. It's about like he had done something or it's genuinely it was like something out of ancient Rome or it's like, well, of course, every emperor becomes a god. And then while he's in charge, he'll make you worship like his aunt or maybe like a snake. It just changes all the time what we worship. All the time. And Tom was bought on a mountain. It was that sort of thing.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Um, it's like, no, no, he did some stuff in Burma. Um, I, just say he would, he, you have to put one in your hearth. So you have to grow cold. I remember seeing a post on Twitter of someone saying that when, um, when he was hospitalized, it's a guy on Twitter was like, oh, me and my boyfriend were dancing around to Abba in our kitchen and our neighbors just knocked on our daughter scream at us saying, can you show some respect Captain Tom's in hospital? Like that, that was the level of like cultural, psychosis.
Starting point is 00:07:59 that happened. We've said before, I mean, I buy my sister, and my sister buys me, Captain Tom Gifts every Christmas, and it's getting harder and harder every year, because obviously they're not on sale. But they're kind of becoming extremely collectible. She's just giving you a pension. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:20 But like, they're harder to find, but like, I'm certain there must, someone that must have made a Captain Tom toy. That has to have been like a plushy. I've seen one, I think. But then again, someone could have crafted it. Someone who makes teddy bears in, you know, somewhere in like the northwest in the Lake District would absolutely be uttered, like just churn one out in a day.
Starting point is 00:08:42 It was such an interesting experience watching what happened when you gave an entire country, cabin fever. Cabin fever is supposed to... We looked at the oldest person. Cabin fever is supposed to be about isolation. You're not supposed to all have it as a nation. that had never happened before we all became Jack Nicholson in The Shining
Starting point is 00:09:03 in many ways I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out Captain Tom didn't happen he wasn't real he was like a collective Mandela effect of like oh we all imagined there was a guy turned up there was no one who did laps around a garden yes he's the collective
Starting point is 00:09:19 psychological spirit of Britain an old World War II veteran doing something for the NHS it's perfect it's everything at once I'm not trying to think think of toy versions of Captain Tom that could exist and like ones that go beyond just like a cuddly bear version because um my i don't if your sisters had this growing up but those sort of dolls that were like deeply incontinent oh uh let me i i know the song is always that's another song that's in my head a lot actually really baby wee wee wee watch out he's gonna we he's gonna we he's gonna we baby we we it's like a key change
Starting point is 00:09:59 to the last baby wee is disgusting I'm sorry this is a slight on your seeing abilities but if a tune was genuinely as flat as that yeah yeah yeah yeah maybe we wait yeah just
Starting point is 00:10:16 cutting through the walls terrible it was like a girl it was like a high-pitched excited girl so so happy the was pissing. What's it?
Starting point is 00:10:30 What was the bit that stuck in my head was, watch out, he's going to be. It's the watch out. I don't want a toy that makes me flinch. But on the advert, it revealed the kid's fucking plastic dick pouring water out. Especially if it's,
Starting point is 00:10:51 like, I think the implication in these things is it's like they gradually get like a wet napy and it's almost like a sort of dripping tap that gradually like feels enough. But the idea of it's also all of them is, be like an elephant pissing. It soaks through the carpet area. To a point we have to hoist it up under his arms
Starting point is 00:11:05 going, he's pissing, he's busy, like rushing it to the bathroom. Like trying to desperately wrap a towel around it. Like a burst pipe, like a waterman. Somehow coming out of a tiny body. How's it contained in there? There's no wires. There's no wires.
Starting point is 00:11:20 It's got non-Euclidean dimensions. It's endless. If you look into its mouth, it's just this abyss. if you look into its mouth, you're looking down on Baghdad from the sky. It's like a Google match thing. The advert keeps referring to how you have to refill it
Starting point is 00:11:39 and it keeps referring to the Stygian depths. Make sure to wipe and clean the Stygian debts. What? Don't play with it on Halloween or Candlemus. Okay. Look, it's the opposite of Gremlin's, it's like, don't get it dry. It needs to be permanently pissing. It's baby wee wee.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Like a leaky, like a bucket under a leaky roof. You have to keep replacing the bucket that's under it every night where you, where you should. Every few minutes. And you have to explain it to guests. They go, I think you have a leak. It's not a leak. It's a baby wee. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:12:24 It's a curse baby. It's a curse baby. to torture. That's what the working title was. The punslinger strikes again. Oh, he's been slinging. He's been out in Sydney slinging puns in the hot song. Sling another pun on the Barbie, would you?
Starting point is 00:12:46 Yeah. What a glorious punny day here in Bondi. I used to find it unsettling enough. I was a kid, I couldn't figure out how the milk went down, you know, on the bottles. Yeah, I think in my head as a kid, it was just genuinely milk, so I was like, it's going to stink. There's cheese in that baby. There's cheese in the baby now. They're gradually inflate. Yeah, with a horrible distended belly.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Fizzing cheese. And it starts to come out of the joints. You know, Van. Around the eyelashes. Yeah. He's got cheese joints again. You have to sort of wipe it with a wet cloth like a, like a dog's gunky eye. With a cracker?
Starting point is 00:13:29 Yeah. Oh, God. Sorry, my daughter's baby's full of cheese. I'm going to have to... Yeah, we just need to change it if that's okay. I'm going to have to kneel on its chest like it's an inflatable mattress and get all the cheese out.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Yeah, sometimes it's easier to just scrape it along like a reclap sort of... Oh, God. You have to leave the doll in a cave or a cellar if you want to hate it. This is disgusting. Someone out there has wretched imagining eating the baby cheese. But it was so, it was so strange because, I mean, like, those things don't exist anymore. That was, they were so popular from, I guess, like, what, the 50s, through to, like, maybe 2003.
Starting point is 00:14:30 I'm looking at baby wee, by the way, 2001. The description is an advert for a very strange dull and personally slightly distasteful. Is that the Wikipedia entry? It's the description of the advert on YouTube. I recommend people watching
Starting point is 00:14:47 just to get an idea of the actual theme tune. Watch out. Watch out, he's going to wee. Watch out should be used more in... I think people would buy Frosties if there was like an element to threat and danger of like you do this or this is going to happen. If Tony the tiger was someone who you didn't want coming, like to your home.
Starting point is 00:15:10 So like there's a family who are eating a bowl of corn flakes and then they hear a scratching at their door and it's like, don't you wish you'd bought Frosties? Because he's, he's furious. From the tiger? Yeah. Or like, um, it's just a really like hench guy with the tiger's head. Yeah. Just thumping on the door.
Starting point is 00:15:31 He's got the building of a kangaroo. You know the really musly kangaroos. Yeah. But his face is completely blank. Yes. He's hammering like he's angry, but his face is completely emotionless. Yes, and he has the catchphrase. They're great.
Starting point is 00:15:47 They're great. They're great. He says he's disagreeing. They're great. Frosty's new logo. No, they're great. No, they're great. No, they're great.
Starting point is 00:16:10 I'd buy that. I get, I'm so led in by cereal in another country. Do you know what I mean? Like, I just, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I'm in Spain if they do chocolate cereal in a hollow shell shape. I'm like, I'm there. We don't, we don't have shell shapes in the UK for some reason.
Starting point is 00:16:31 They're called zongos and they look like pasta. something and you go, okay. It will have a character with such unappealing IP, like on the front cover. Oh, God, yeah. It will be like a fairly anatomically correct wasp. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not a honey-based cereal. And everyone will be like, yeah, you know.
Starting point is 00:16:55 And he's got like a really visible dripping sting. It's an animal that is the man. of a theme park in a country that used to have a different name in the 80s. Yes. Like a Yugoslavian comic book character that you've never heard of. That used to just be huge. And now if you go to Albania, he's painted on the inside of all these bunkers and stuff. It's like a funny thing for the locals.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Are you familiar with Miss Rachel, the kids or babies? YouTube series? I have seen references to Miss Rachel. on the internet, I would like to know what it is. Miss Rachel is a, so I think it was like pre-lockdown. I think one of her kids was, I think, falling behind with, like, wasn't hitting their targets with regards to, like, a baby's general targets
Starting point is 00:17:57 of, like, communication and stuff like that. So she was, I think she started to, like, film herself just, like, talking to the camera in a very mumsy sort of way. and she wears like a pink t-shirt, blue-dongarees. And I can't remember, but she, I think she herself was really good at it. And then as a result, did it for maybe to help a friend or something like that. I can't, I can't remember the law behind this. And she's got like a pink headband and a hair and a ponytail.
Starting point is 00:18:22 And she's like, hi there. Can you wave? Great job. And she talks to you through the screen as if you're doing all these things. But like, baby's faces will just light up at the sight of her. just she's got an essence about her, an aura that just draws people in. But over the course of like lockdown in the last few years, her YouTube profile just obviously just skyrocketed.
Starting point is 00:18:51 She was like the go-to thing to calm a baby down. So she's like a multi, multi-millionaire. And then obviously like Netflix got involved and stuff like that. So now her, all her stuff is, you know, she's just collaborations with like Elmo. And now all the other. The old guard are like desperately trying to sort of associate themselves with Miss Rachel. Hi, Miss Rachel.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Stay off my fucking territory. She runs like a sort of protection racket. If you come on my YouTube series, then I won't go around Sesame Street with a baseball bat hitting every bird I see. But now, but they've had to create like her characters for her own show. And so they've got this doll that just looks so generic. He looks like something out of a parody of a kids TV show. He's just like a fluffy, bubbled, nothingy, to me, is like greyy green. And his entire persona is he's the potty training character.
Starting point is 00:19:50 So he's always just on a potty. And Miss Rachel's got loads of friends who are all just humans from like the world of musical theatre because her husband's a musical theatre director and makes all the songs for her YouTube series. So it would be like 10 adults, 10 adults. standing around this like eternally shitting child going you know where to poop and like singing these songs about I know when to go and and
Starting point is 00:20:16 I sometimes picture myself in in that fluffy dolls situation just thinking I think that is my I think that's my room one and one I think that would I think that would be my waterboarding that would be the thing where I go I can last no longer than 0.2 seconds before I start confessing I'm so surprised, but this doll isn't like confessing state secrets while he's shitty. I love the idea of them parading around an adult man singing it,
Starting point is 00:20:52 and then every now and they're just stopping to have to like wretch. You can... What did you mean? They just keep lighting matches while they dance around you. Occasionally we pause and look at him and he's like, the WMDs are found these coordinates. That is a horrifying. That's like, do you remember when news websites used to do like the week in pictures?
Starting point is 00:21:30 Do what, sorry? The week in pictures. And it would be like. Yes, useless. It would be like, um, The inhabitants of Blah Blah in Peru perform a parade for Saint-Cruve-V-V-A-M-A-M-A parade. And it would be an interesting photo, but it would be valueless news. Yeah, because you go, sorry, we don't arrange news by what is the most picturesque or photogenic.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Otherwise, British politics wouldn't be in the news ever. No, no. But I used to click through it because it would be like... This grey man faced off against this grey-skinned man. like gray supremacist Nigel Farage Gray supremacy is absolutely almost pretty much all of politics
Starting point is 00:22:19 that would be such a good piece of rhetoric But also it would be perfect to refer to like the triple lock and all the pensions and all that stuff Like you're just a grey supremacist That's such good rhetoric if you busted that out It's not even skin It's just the your entire tone is just grey
Starting point is 00:22:35 Yeah Yeah Yeah Salo Salo Salo Yeah Salo
Starting point is 00:22:40 But like Them parading around a toilet With a shitting man on it It's like something from the weekend pictures You'd be like What village is this in Spain What fucking local Funny tradition is it
Starting point is 00:22:54 He is the king of poop For the day It's all to do with Mardi Gras It's a very very long held thing It's the day after The tomato throwing Like he's had too many tomatoes He's in so many tomatoes.
Starting point is 00:23:06 I bet you didn't even know tomatoes could have that effect. He spends all day on that and everyone sings at him as a punishment. There is a figurine in Spain called like Mr. Caca or something. It's like a shitting nose. Yes. Yes. I remember seeing like a whole shop's worth of these. And at the age of like seven and just dying. Just like so funny.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Because you're so used to just obviously like plates of Princess Diana or whatever back home. the shitting gnome shop is the kind of thing Americans accuse Europe of having. And it annoys me that it's real because it's like, okay, fine. But then equally, I think Americans have a unique advantage with this because outside of Octoberfest and a few other things like Halloween, they've got American kind of cultural smushed together folk traditions, new ones. So the old ones always sort of seem silly to them. and it's annoying because an American will be like,
Starting point is 00:24:05 oh, do you guys have like a special prince just for like whales? And you're like, yes, yes, actually, yes. On this occasion, you're correct. I hate the world. You've nailed it. Yes, yes. I know you didn't mean to be accurate.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Through. Yeah. Yeah. That's frustrating because they've had a clean slate. They got to all move to a different country, wipe it clean and go, oh, sorry, you guys have traditions. I'm very, this comes from a place of envy, by the way.
Starting point is 00:24:30 But it is, yeah. Yeah. Because the toys thing is you just see it in every in every country and you go I, is that, do you guys thought this through? Yeah, do you all think
Starting point is 00:24:45 this is good? And I mean, we have that with all the, I mean, the fact that you can buy like masks of royals and stuff is so weird. I've just never seen them purchased. Someone must be buying them.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I bought two once as a, I thought it would be a funny birthday card for my mom. two dianas and sellotate them together so they opened up as a card. It was 2010. Really well, tell you why, because I had a summer job
Starting point is 00:25:15 that is going to sound insane. I might have told you before, I had a summer job at the Financial Times. I used to work at the Financial Times. Which is mad. I think you have told me that before, but I've memory-holded it. Yeah, it was, I think I just I wanted to go
Starting point is 00:25:34 You know, this is this pre-news really This was when I was at uni But I wanted to be a journalist And I think I just tried to sort of shoot my shot And was like, have you got anything? And they were like, yeah, there's this, there is actually a job you can do. But involved, like, writing stuff for the paper.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Yeah, yeah. But my journey home would take me through Lester Square And this was the height of summer So that was when all the blockbusters were coming out. So there'd be movie premieres like every couple of days. And so I'd bought my mum this like two, two Diana postcards.
Starting point is 00:26:05 And what I used to do, I shouldn't really admit this, is because the Financial Times would obviously never send someone to like the actual movies, is I would just go to the movie premieres and just show my pass. They just think you're like, they just think you're like the movie representative.
Starting point is 00:26:21 And it doesn't mean you're allowed to see the film, but it means when the celebrities walk the red carpet, you're allowed in the press bit where there's so, there's fewer people. There's like 40, of you as opposed to four and a half thousand. So it was the inception premiere
Starting point is 00:26:37 and I got Leonardo DiCaprio to sign my mom's birthday card. Whoa. Yeah. Holy shit. He was very nice. You said to him, what do you think of shrinkflation? Do you think the footsy can hold up to the paper?
Starting point is 00:26:53 Yeah, yeah. Mr. DiCaprio was going short on grain futures. It's very weird, actually. He's very into his day trading. He's very into his... The Financial Times makes me feel so stupid. Even when I see someone reading it, I'm like it still feels like...
Starting point is 00:27:16 Because it's such an enormous newspaper. I feel like you have to be taller than us to be able to read it. I feel like there needs to be another level of grown up. Like Hagrid. There's a bunch of Hagridz out there all reading the FT. When you go to the newspapers, It's like a theme park. It's like you need to be this tall to read the financial time.
Starting point is 00:27:38 And the newspaper stand will make you like stand with your back against it. And he'll be like, take your cap off. Take your cap off. Tiptoes. No tiptoes. Maybe next year, son. Maybe next year. When you see someone buying their financial times, it's like when you're a kid and you had different scale action figures or toy soldiers and they didn't match up.
Starting point is 00:27:59 That's how much bigger they are. Yeah, it's like the wretch has got... They're like Duplo. They're like Duplo and we're Lego. You go, oh my God, that's who the FT is for. Yeah, as we said before, how the Wretch had like those little green army soldiers, but then just one full-size John Cena, who was like part of the military,
Starting point is 00:28:16 just this tough, you know, Dr. Manhattan. Yeah, Dr. Manhattan, King Kong, I guess. But, yeah, I can just imagine the humiliation of not being allowed to by the FT, and an enormous businessman strides past. Maybe next year, son, and, like, picks up his paper. Yeah. And he pays with a coin. A coin the size of a dinner plate.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Huge coin. And it's... On the coin is the head of like a bigger queen. That we don't even have. We didn't even know about. No, no, no. It's big queen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Give it up, Jack. It's big queen. And when he flicks the coin to the guard. it's like a gong being hit. Yeah. It's so loud. And it just crushes it. He just sort of like, yeah, he sort of like tips backwards and has to roll it behind his stand.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Keep the change. Goh. Yeah. Back to the city. The monarch should be the tallest person, I think. Well, look. There's a lot of anthropological. guys. Yeah, well there's a look, there's a lot of anthropological evidence to back that instinct up.
Starting point is 00:29:34 I think that is, you're not far off a series of systems that have existed. Well, I guess what I'm trying to say is, because they can't engineer that, and actually it seems like the raw family's genetics get worse and worse with each generation, I think they should, at the very least, if you're going to do all the bullshit finery of like they still wear the jewels of other nations. They should still try to make them appear the tallest. So, King Charles, when he's on the balcony, should be these large floating arms
Starting point is 00:30:11 on like stilts. And like Captain Tom, with a paper match, like forehead, over his own forehead to make his head seem tall. Really long. Yeah. And he should, he should have to put on a slightly deeper voice to address the nation. On the balcony is like the red arrows fly past
Starting point is 00:30:34 As thousands greet him on the mouth for his Jubilee And one of the arms just falls off Ignore it Ignore it They have to make it look like the red arrows Have to fly around his head That's how he is Like that
Starting point is 00:30:49 I think that's good And when he opens Parliament and sits in the big gold chair They should just long massive paper mashet legs Going all the way down the corridor between the two sides and people making them go like do-l-d-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-h
Starting point is 00:31:03 Yeah, like tourists when you go on a tour of parliament you can visit his shoes you can see his enormous like it's like the borrowers it's like these enormous feet sticking out whenever he does the king's speech
Starting point is 00:31:17 it cuts to him having eaten like they built a whole fake cow skeleton it's like he's just eaten a whole he's like dabbing his mouth I couldn't have another bite. And the cow of skeleton
Starting point is 00:31:32 has scaled so cleverly. They've got a footman at the other end of it and it's a normal, it looks like a tiny little man. Yeah, it's like when they filmed the Hobbit where like Lord of the Rings, they've done that. You can have the rest. Merry Christmas. Yeah, a giant booming king.
Starting point is 00:31:49 He needs to look unbalanced. A bit like how I always find Gandalfe in the Fellowship of the Ring when he visits Bilbo. He doesn't look. actually tall. He looks like he's going to fall over. Yeah. He's not... He's not...
Starting point is 00:32:03 He's too thin. Yeah. There's no like center of... He doesn't feel weighted. And actually he tends... It looks a bit like when Austin Powers goes on mini-meas shoulders in Goldman. And he's walking with his arms up like that. That's what I think the king should look like. He should be in like a smaller person's shoulders.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Yeah, yeah, yeah. like a megazord, like his limbs and legs are other members of the royal family. They all clift together like a Power Rangers monster. Form of, Monarch. Princess and Princesses. Fong and, like, Princess Anne and Princess Margaret, like, latch themselves. Fold themselves up in half and become his fists. That's why he's so annoyed Harry.
Starting point is 00:32:58 he's left because no he doesn't got a leg he's got one leg and yeah Princess Charlotte's just not big enough he's just got one small leg tiny baby leg yeah that's what they mean by working royal
Starting point is 00:33:10 they mean in the in the Zord yeah it's what have you come from storming through stymes in like Nicaragia which
Starting point is 00:33:22 Stoving through villages in like Nicaragiajoo. It's a pleasure to visit your nation. When they talk about deforestation, like an area the size of the Prince of Wales is destroyed every day. Huge monster. A royal visit is feared. It's a terrible threat.
Starting point is 00:33:49 You know, they're always visiting the Caribbean. They should just walk out of the ocean like Godzilla. Like they've walked. they're from England. You just see like, I think I can see like eight pinpoints moving towards us and it becomes clear it's like a crown that's like emerging from the water. It's got like glowing blue. Yeah, it's like tipping over P&O ferries left right and center.
Starting point is 00:34:21 A tidal way sweeping across Barbados is it? Yeah. What do you do? Hundreds of. dead in royal visit. And they see that it's like a positive like only hundreds dead. Yeah, people are, wow.
Starting point is 00:34:41 He's learning to pilot that thing a bit better. Yeah. That's good. It keeps, like, life footage keeps going back towards King Charles's face. It's like an Iron Man when he just, he's going, oh God, bloody hell. Fucking hell.
Starting point is 00:34:59 No, no, no. Oh, God. Another house. crushed. What's the guy called an Iron Man who he talks to, the fucking AI? Oh, I can't remember. Sorry. What's he called?
Starting point is 00:35:13 What is Iron Man's AI called? Jarvis. Imagine if you look up at it, it's Camilla. Camilla. Camilla. Deactivate rockets. Activate rockets. No, God.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Oh. Beef! But King Charles doing. that sort of just Wade and Avengers talk and sort of like they did not just happen is that a thing now
Starting point is 00:35:40 it is totally a thing did he just okay he's behind me isn't he I tell you a something a something enjoyable to do
Starting point is 00:35:57 to someone is insult someone if you're talking to two people someone's on the left someone's on the right talk to the person on the left and chat shit about the person on the right and then go
Starting point is 00:36:12 he's standing right in front of me isn't he I've only had the chance to do it once it was really good fun I did it to Stuart Laws it was a very fun thing to do he's standing right in front of me isn't he that is so up Stu's street that's like an absolute bullseye absolute bullseye
Starting point is 00:36:34 nicely done with the wrong person yeah oh yeah wrong person they go yeah what the fuck did you go to post message
Starting point is 00:36:48 email letter post message email text dispatches hello not norm and random correspondence
Starting point is 00:36:55 well we should try do just a quick bit of correspondence oh we god I should we got so many good airplane movies from people on blue sky actually.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Yeah. So, Shane sent me one called talk. Have you ever heard of this? T-O-R-Q-U-E. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember this.
Starting point is 00:37:16 She's probably like 2008, I reckon. Martin Henderson, Ice Cube, Monet, Mazur and Jay Hernandez. God, a lot of those names with the exception of Ice Cube haven't massively stood the test of time, have they?
Starting point is 00:37:30 Again, just to clarify from the producers of Fast and the Furious Triple X and Swan. Oh, man. Squad. Worf. or SWAT. SWAT, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:38 SWAT was a real plane film. Seminole Jackson, Conn first. Michelle Rodriguez, I think. So plane films is just a film that you'd never encounter in real life, you'd never watch in real life, but for some reason, it's only ever on a plane and you'd watch it on a plane.
Starting point is 00:37:53 You can do this with talky films as well. I think Goodwell Hunting is a plane film. Ooh, that's true. Well, it's good, though. It's almost too good for a plane. No, no, no, no, no. No indication of quality on a plane film. As I said, one battle after another was on the plane. But when I watch a good film on a plane, it feels like a big commitment.
Starting point is 00:38:16 It feels, yeah, it feels... Can I eat this? Can I eat this big film? Empty and you're aware it's been edited beyond belief. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like Katie is friends of someone who... They've cut all the bits from Goodwill hunting about plane crashes. It's like half the film. One of Katie's friends saw, um,
Starting point is 00:38:35 Wolf of All Street on a flight and was like, it's the mildest film ever, what was everyone talking about? And they were like, what about when he has an orgy in his, like, his, one of his assistants, whatever, has like a massive orgy in his flat.
Starting point is 00:38:48 And she was like, wasn't even in the film. Like, and it was like, she'd seen like a 90-minute version. But I told you this with, my sister and I watched Fargo in Dubai. Years ago. And it went on for about half an hour. I was like, this film's so good, we need to watch it.
Starting point is 00:39:07 And we watched it. And it was, it went on for like half an hour. And Francis McDormand wasn't in it. Of course. Fuck, yeah. She wasn't in it. The film didn't make any sense. Just an old man painting ducks and then.
Starting point is 00:39:23 And then a guy being fed into a woodchipper. Well, they keep that bit in. That's great. But it was, we weren't sure if it was like, because, I don't know. I don't want to speculate. but like female police officer or like pregnant and working i don't know like we all of that all of the above all of it completely unacceptable well we saw clearly unacceptable we we there's one night we got back and uh and um we turned the tv and like there was a bridget jones movie on and it didn't show
Starting point is 00:39:52 bridget jones and colin first kissing but it did show her parents like jim broadband or whatever kissing because they're married but bridget jones and colin first character are not married yeah yeah cool chill out guys come on Ryan says I fly a lot for work and I have a great deal
Starting point is 00:40:11 to say about the plane film genre but I'll narrow it down to three highlights one finding final destination on an air China flight no the plane one that's so funny air China doesn't give us shit
Starting point is 00:40:26 watch it we don't care I remember it being like a news article back in the day of like love actually on planes removes Hugh Grant's line at the beginning. Genuinely, they don't have that. You know, he got rid of a bit
Starting point is 00:40:43 where he says, you know, when those planes smacked into those towers, he says smacked. He says, when those roller coasters you know, smacked into the operated safely, it's just really badly dubbed. The original version was him going, you know, in the
Starting point is 00:41:02 when George Bush directed those planes to fly into them So Ryan says, one, finding final destination on air China flight, two, sitting next to a man who chain watched three American Pie movies on his laptop, not hiding any of the sex scenes. On his laptop.
Starting point is 00:41:21 That's funny. Three in a row, are you kidding? To be honest, you go, unless that's American Pie, American Pie 2 and American Pie 3, the wedding. Like, which? or the reunion. Is he watching those like
Starting point is 00:41:35 band camp ones and the ones that only featured Jim's dad? Oh, fuck, yeah, the ones like straight to video. Yeah, it was like, it was so strange because it was like, Eugene Levy, it was like a, you got a bit of secondhand embarrassment seeing him in those films being like,
Starting point is 00:41:53 oh, he'll still agree to do those films where none of the rest of the cast will. And you go, now he is infinite, like, at the time, he was infinitely more successful than any of and because he'd been in all those improv comedy films like Best in show and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Mighty wind, I think. Was he in? Mighty wind, yeah, all those. And I guess people just didn't... The people who watched American play didn't know that at the time. And then since then, obviously, because of Schitt's Creek, he's just... You go, what a weird moment in his career.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Really strange. Just to be in this pie-fucking movies over and over again. Yeah. Number three, finding this on a flight to Taiwan last year, its poster makes it look humorous. So it's called Le Prosse du Chien. It's like a funny looking dog with a judge's gavel in its mouth, right?
Starting point is 00:42:39 And then like the dog is in the middle of the image and Le Prosse de de chien is above it. And then arrayed in a fan over the dog are like various like, hmm, looking like humans. Like, uh-oh, right? And I think it means the trial of the dog. It's translated to dog on trial, right? So it's already looking. pretty funny. This is looking good. He says its poster makes it look
Starting point is 00:43:05 pretty humorous but it turns out it's a film based on a true story about a dog that bit someone and its owner went to court to try and stop it getting put down. It ends with the owner losing the trial and the dog being euthanized. It's like
Starting point is 00:43:22 the dog is sentenced to death the dog is executed the dog is put down in the electric chair. we could try and put a link to the to the image. I mean, I'll hold it up to the camera that you see. Look how funny it looks. Now that looks funny.
Starting point is 00:43:39 That looks silly. It looks very cheap. It looks like stickers on the fridge. Yeah. Yeah, it does. But actually, when you have a translated title of The Trial of the Dog, you go, that sounds like an Oscar Bate film in which the dog is something else. It's not. It's a metaphor.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Yeah, but in order for it to be whimsical, they would have to be translated. I mean, it says Dog on Trial, but even that. It should be like a doggy courtroom, Judge Dog. Yes, yeah, Judge Dog, yeah. Airbud goes to Washington. Airbud goes to death row. Just them putting the electric chair hat on a fucking golden retriever.
Starting point is 00:44:20 I wish there was another way, boss. Tom Hanks weeping. Deeply intense Oscar Bay dog films. Tom Hanks weeping is the dog. opens its mouth and loads of flies come out. Daniel Day Lewis going fully method for air will be bird. He pretended to be a dog the whole time. She's a dog that loves oil, which is impossible to understand what's happening.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Just kills a vicar at the end. Fucking hell. Megasliber says, I saw an advert for talk in Spain when I was a kid, and I thought I'd hallucinated it. It was shit. It looks shit. My God, it looks bad. Really good.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Really good stuff. And just quickly, some really nice AI slop from Dan. It says, hello, Piero and Glensom. AI, I assume, I think you're right. Tats for you, walking home from a delicious curry in Bristol. I saw this sign on the side of a fence surrounding a fun fair. Now, I've got some thoughts about that. I'll say for the Patreon.
Starting point is 00:45:31 But on this fence, it says, love people, use things. The opposite never works out. wait wait love people use things the opposite it never works out and then the caption is that's above an incredibly
Starting point is 00:45:47 airy and sort of Hitler propaganda family yes I know exactly underneath it just says for no reason for the safety and enjoyment of everyone wow I mean they must have put that up going
Starting point is 00:46:02 I don't understand it but people will this is above my The computer must know it's better than I do. Love people use things the opposite never works out. Yes. When Katie and I first moved in together, our flat had above the door, it was like a glass pane. And the previous people there had put some letters on it that said like, love is like to the wind, the breeze upon him. Or something like that.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Oh, God. What? And we couldn't scrape it off. And it was like, we look insane. We look insane. There's nothing we can do about this. Love is like to the wind. Well, okay, I've going to share my thoughts with you on the Patreon.
