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.
Traditional, which anniversary is that?
Which country?
Which anniversary?
Third anniversary.
Oh, anniversary.
Oh, yeah.
Chive anniversary?
Yes, your denim anniversary.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
a tree.
Yes,
yeah,
the pagan
sacrifices.
It's like it
from the witch
yeah,
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
because I'd
kind of forgotten
about the Captain Tom
effigies,
which is outrageous
but I had,
I would have found it
so dispiriting
in lockdown as a
church of England
vicar to see
how
so super
quickly
that people just reverted
we just reverted to paganism
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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?
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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?
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.
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
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
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Salo
Salo
Salo
Yeah
Salo
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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...
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
they mean in the in the
Zord
yeah it's what
have you come from
storming through
stymes in like
Nicaragia
which
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
nicely done
with the wrong person
yeah
oh yeah
wrong person they go
yeah what the fuck
did you go to
post message
email letter post message
email
text
dispatches
hello
not norm
and random
correspondence
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.
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.
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?
Again, just to clarify
from the producers of Fast and the Furious
Triple X and Swan.
Oh, man.
Squad.
Worf.
or SWAT.
SWAT, yeah.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
