Dextrous. Cancelman Dextrous? Dexterous Laboratory.
Antone Dextrous. Oh, very good.
Very good.
You good? You win? I think so. I don't know.
Ooh, is all... Hi, Dave.
Hey, Dave, come in. Dave, come in.
Come in, Dave. Dave, Dave. What do you want?
What are you doing, Dave? Do you doing, Dave?
Does anybody need some tea?
Yes. Yes.
Do you wear some tea?
Yes, please, Dave.
Yes, please, Dave.
I've just opened a Rio Tropical, but thank you very much.
It goes really well with tea.
Does it?
Yeah.
Dave, will you take this fresh bottle of water and I want you to pour it down the sink and then fill a new one and bring it back?
Absolutely.
Thank you, Dave.
He doesn't have any hands.
He doesn't have any hands.
Oh my God, Ben.
I just expect...
What are you doing?
Stop telling us plans.
I expect better of Dave.
Oh my God.
Right back.
Thanks, Dave.
That was Dave.
Oh, Dave.
Thanks, Dave.
What a guy.
At Dave on Twitter.
He got that, he got that one.
He got that one.
He was there early.
How early would you have to be on Twitter to get that handle?
Because you have to work for Twitter.
The family is Jack.
Yeah.
That was something that I always found fascinating.
It goes back to playing RuneScape and things.
It's like just wanting the username Batman.
How early would you have to be just to be Batman?
Oh, on RuneScape, Batman, just add me, Batman.
Or Spider-Man.
Or something like that.
I really want to know.
I want to have a look, like, be able to search usernames and see when they were claimed.
The thing is, you have to know when a game is going to be popular.
Like, you have to get these names.
Like, Runecape, for example, you would have to be so early that it was pre-popular RuneScape.
You know what I mean?
So essentially what you have to do is head your bets, and every new game that comes out that could feasibly be popular.
Right.
To go and register Batman.
Exactly.
Not even the ones that feasibly popular.
Just any game, any and all games.
By every game on Steam, bam.
That's not your game.
I've never played much runescape
I feel like I really missed that train
I tried I got on Trailing Island
and I found it too hard
to get off Training Island
I feel like the first
hurdle I think it was like
something about doing spells
I was thinking about runescape earlier
and I think I'm gonna instill
well yeah
it crosses my mind at least once an hour
I was I think I'm going to install
old school runescape on my work computer
and play it when you guys aren't
sorry you can't ruin escape
oh nice
Just peek this microphone
Yes
Good
Well that's where we're going to sync the audio
And I suppose it's time to start
Oh is it
Let's roll the intro sound music
Dot MP3
That's not
That's not it's not
Well I don't have my thing
I need to go and just copy and paste some text
Okay do you want to go then
Michael and I will just get started
By Paul Johnson
Right bye Peter
Bye Ben
Bye Ben
Bye good Ben
Thank you
Fuck Pete
Peter Austin, am I right? Fuck that guy.
The door's not even shut.
That's a really quiet sentence.
I was hoping for just a little noise there.
I can't talk bad about Peter.
He's a lovely man.
Should we start it without him?
Yeah, fuck it.
Should we just do it?
Hello and welcome to the first ever episode of Poddiots,
the official podcast of the Vidiates YouTube channel.
I'm Ben
I'm Michael
and where's Peter
Who knows
Maybe he won't come back
Oh I know what the problem is
His chair is too low to the ground
And he's too far away from the Michael
He can barely reach it on Peter
I can Peter
Here he is
Hello I'm Peter Austin
Oh down you go
There he goes
That's what he sounds like
Oh he's just run out of the room
To get some books
So you can now sit on them
To reach the microphone
Yes I'm sure he'll be back soon
Now many of you
I assume have come from the YouTube channel
if you've just found this on iTunes
I'm so sorry
this is going to make even less sense
but this is something that we've been wanting to do for a while
and it's just going to have a nice
relaxed improvisational feel
and tone to it
a lovely little chat we're going to do it fortnightly
so it should be out every other Tuesday
so your ears can be filled with our noises
oh here he is he's brought his books
quick Peter put down your books so you can be
closer to the microphone that's it
stack the sound of my books
there he is oh he's joined us
Hello, I'm Ben
I'm Michael
And I'm nearly late
I'm Peter
Hey
You're exactly when you intended to be here
Yeah
A tiny wizard is always
Exactly on time
You couldn't see your tiny watch
You didn't know what to get here
No
It's too small even for you
Didn't we have a pun
We were doing puns and jokes earlier
A timely wizard
A time
Yeah that's it
Timely Peter
Timely Peter
Timely Peter
I like that
Yeah that was the one
But you're not
Obviously
No I'm like the little white rabbit
From Alice in Wonderland
tiny and late
and white
and white
very white
and a bit of a racist
yeah
he is he is in that film
you know that deleted scene
where he's just like black faces
and dances around the room
seagulling all over the place
yeah terrible awful absolutely terrible
oh my phone just between my legs
a nice tingly sensation
I was deliberate clearly
I put that on the floor over there
so it's out of the way people wondering
what they can expect from this part
I don't really know what to say.
We've got a couple of audience questions
we'll go over at the end.
We've also all brought something in
to talk about.
Like show and tell.
Just tell and tell them.
Yeah.
Tell and ask.
Before we get started, though,
I'd like to thank Turtle Beach
for providing us with the wonderful headphones
that we're wearing right now.
Wow.
You can go to bit.ly forward slash
vidiots Beach in order to
sort of click up that algorithm
and show that people are wanting to buy headphones
after we told them to.
We're responsible for you spending money.
What you should do.
Don't you forget it?
It's on Sundays.
It's a nice,
you've got nothing to do all day,
so just go on to our video descriptions
and click every single
Turtle Beach advert on there.
So the people think we're doing really well.
I'm sure this is not a breach of contract.
I think they still want purchases as well.
I mean, we could do that.
I do it about 500 times a day.
Every time I open a new tab,
I first browse to
potentially not allowed to do that.
Yeah, as I was saying,
I'm thinking this is probably, not legal, but
YouTube, are you? No, if you match or refresh
on YouTube, YouTube knows that you're doing it
and you can get in trouble for you. I remember I did
that one, so uploaded it was like, I think when
Black Ops was announced, I downloaded the trailer
and put it on YouTube, so I don't know why, so I just refreshed it
for like 10 minutes, and it got stuck at 302 views
and to this day, like five years on, it's still on
302 views. So I think they locked me down.
You just put in the sin bin forever.
Yeah, you're not allowed any more views. You've ruined it for everyone.
To be allowed out. Well,
Well, should we kick this thing off?
Who wants to go first with the weird thing that they've brought in?
I want my E to go first.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
So, well, see, you ask to bring in weird things.
Right.
Sort of metaphorically, not physically.
Oh, shit.
Have you brought...
I brought in a little tiny frog with a hat.
Oh, my God, he's just got his dick out in the table.
Jesus.
What the hell?
Peter, quit run.
Run, Peter.
It's coming for you.
Literally.
You said bring things in.
I've just brought a topic of discussion.
Yeah, that's fine.
that falls under the umbrella.
No, that's what I've done too.
I'll allow it.
Let's talk about our early days on the internet.
What did we do?
What was our favourite websites?
How did we become the internet goblins we are today?
Right.
I'm trying to think the year I think I first got the internet was 2005.
Wow.
And I spent most of my time either on the Cartoon Network website playing flash games
or on funnyjunk.com looking at memes and pictures.
Yeah.
And I think from there, I think that was kind of like my early days of the internet
and then I started to get my creative grounds, my footings in the creative industry.
And then I started going on cheesy art, which was no one thought plentiful amounts of furry
of furry porn.
Wow, was that the reason?
Nope, it just happened to be there.
Actually, no, I lied.
It was Newgrounds first, which had a plentiful amount of hentai games.
Not the reason I was on there, but it was a nice benefit.
I promise, officer, it's purely circumstantial.
It's all fine.
Yeah, I started making flash animations for Newgrounds.
There were some classic flash animations on New Grounds.
Yeah, it was amazing.
I think it was a, it's such a good website back in this day.
It's still good to this day.
The end of Zy World, remember that one?
End of the good one.
And also the Lemon Demon, Neil Cicero.
Yeah, yeah.
That's where I first found.
You know, that's a showdown of Ultimate Destiny.
That was incredible.
That's got millions of views on that website.
It's a real relic.
I only discovered that, like, I think since we've been at Yog's cast,
you mentioned it, like, in our, like, second or third week.
You just said that, like, I'd never seen it.
And Ben mentioned it in, like, our third week.
Well, you remember you showed it to me, like, just after we'd come here.
Sure, it wasn't a name redacted?
It may have been a name redacted, but it was pretty recently.
It was like a few months back.
Man.
And, yeah, I thought it was great.
I'd never seen it before.
It blew my mind.
It had everyone in it.
I think I'd heard a bit that, like, you know, there was this thing where everyone's facing
off with everyone else.
And I was like, yeah, it sounds familiar.
Power Rangers and Holy Grail and the Holy Grail and the Holy Grails, Black Knight.
Yeah.
And Mussolini, I don't know the word, it's been too long.
Blue Meenie.
Yeah.
I can't remember any of the words of it.
But I did once make a fan animation for Neil Cicenna one of the
Neil Cicerega's songs.
Oh, wow.
I've got some falling to do as the name of the song, I think.
Right.
Do you want to explain, because we're all big fans.
I was introduced by Pete Ostos.
Neil Cisariga.
Who is he?
Best known for creating the Potter Puppet Pals.
Yes.
Yeah, I think he's most famous thing.
But beyond that, he's got a wealth of just incredible creation.
He's always popping up through internet history, like me.
It's consistently, like, yeah, from literally him being a kid, he's been at the top of the internet.
He's the same guy all the time.
Consistently, it's magic.
You sort of go, oh, he did that.
Oh, he did that as well.
Like, he also did the races of Star Wars.
That was him.
Yes.
The cuddly woodies.
The cuddly woodies.
Yeah.
He's consistently been hitting home runs, like viral home runs since he was literally 12.
He's a wonderful man.
I love him.
Would you say that your favorite examples of his work are the musical remixes that he has known albums?
Yes.
He's done three now?
Yeah.
There's three mouths.
Mouth moods, mouth sounds and mouth silence.
And they're free and they're remixes, but they're really stupid remixes and mashups that are just brilliant.
If you haven't listened to any of the Mouth saga, I do highly recommend it.
It's just so good.
I think there was a streak of about three months where it was all I listened to was the albums.
It's shuffling.
It's endless fun.
It's magic.
It's true magic.
What about Will Smith's M.I.Bs?
I think that's my favorite.
some of his. Bees, where he just cuts out
random words. Bees, bees. And then the sound effect
of bees buzzing.
Bees.
What that stand for?
Bees. Men in bees.
Bees.
Is this going to be us reciting our favourite songs now?
I think so. Well, you've put us on this rabbit hole.
Yeah, shit. I don't really know what my next point was.
But anyway, you're here now. You made it here
and now you can put out your weirdness for other people to actually.
God, and it pays the rent.
Isn't that? Isn't that stupid?
What a world.
That is ridiculous.
This is me earning rent money right now talking about my childhood on the internet.
That's when I was a kid.
You know, when I was a little boy, I said, when I grew up,
I won't be talking shit about all the hentai and fairy porn I looked out.
when I was a kid.
This is the vision I had for this podcast as well.
At least two mentions of hentai a week.
Don't ask me to do anything.
Like, ask me to bring a topic,
oh, I'm going to talk about fairies and hentai.
Let's talk hentai.
Unintentionally.
This is my second time in like the space of a week
mentioning fairies.
Is it?
Yeah, I mentioned them in the mouse video.
Yeah, I suppose at least yourself aware.
If it was something that other people had picked up
and like, that Michael sure does talk a lot about people
who dress up as animals
and then fuck each other
then I think we might have
a bit more of an issue
could it
could it though
is there ever not a sexual element
to that
oh is it literally a sexual attraction
I think that's what furry is
there's cosplaying and dressing up
and then there's furries
I mean furies let us know
I'm not belittling
I'm genuinely just interested
I'm an ignorant little man
I'm currently on my phone
on one of the earliest websites
I used to visit
Oh what was that
Just a really not particularly popular, very specific game, flash game like website
called Gprime.net.
Gprime.com.
Wow.
Forward slash games.
And there's just a list of, oh, it's not been updated for a long time.
Yeti Olympics are on there, Yeti Sports, gold miner, kit and cannon.
God, oh, this brings back memories.
Oh, do you ever play Falling Girl?
No.
It was just this weird rag doll girl who happened to be in a bikini.
Right.
Just falling forever.
and there are all these like round bubble shapes
that she like bounced off
and you could like grab her and like throw her around
I think I remember something like that
actually like the bubbles
I think might be like a similar one called
like bubble boy or something
but it's literally like a man made of bubbles
falling through other bubbles
oh yeah well she was she was just a normal human
sort of weirdly photorealistic
just falling and she would just like
bash into these things
and it was just like a bottomless pit
there was no scoring system
it was just like a physics ragdog game
and you lost years of your life to that
that consumed your childhood
yeah it was I got a weird game
you ever play that call of duty
that what
that call of duty
what's that do you fall in that
are there any bubbles
no I don't think there's any bubbles in that one
right that's a shit
what's the point of playing it sounds dull
yeah
so that was that was where I got my
flash games from just not
new grounds or
or any of the hit sites
Gprime dot net
you don't see dot net websites anymore
we should get one
Do you want a dot net?
Vidyats.com.
I kind of want to buy Vidytsofficial.
Dot xxx, because that's the fun one.
You can have anything now, I think.
Yeah, you can...
I wonder what the most obscure, like, domain is you can have.
I'm not sure.
Dot biz.
I'm pretty sure you can...
I'm sure I read somewhere now that, like,
you're able to just totally customize the ends of a domain now.
I'm not really sure how it works.
Yeah.
That sounds dangerous.
Vidits.
dot official.
Exactly.
You could do that.
I don't know why
suddenly that's all right to do.
Yeah, I wonder
was like ever rules against doing that?
Like dot com,
dot k, dot org.
These are the ones you can have.
Yeah, people just decided
well, I better stick with convention.
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah, I've heard somewhere
that you can do that now,
which is.
Oh my God.
Somewhere.
I think you're full of shit.
Yeah, I might be full of shit.
A citation needed.
I don't know.
Your citation is somewhere.
I might have heard somewhere.
Yeah.
Possibly, who knows,
I don't know?
Yeah.
Shut up.
What?
Let us know.
on Twitter
or in the comments of
the YouTube video
Leave a five star review on iTunes
and state all the possible subdomains
and domains you could have
Every single one, list it
Just copy and paste
Is anything else you did?
What got you here?
What do you do?
Well, what got me here, that's a different thing
I mean that was some years into my
Yes, a car, no a bike
It was a bicycle this morning
We're in Bristol, everyone bikes here, yeah
Yeah
But no, some years into my internet experience
I started doing videos on YouTube.
In fact, it began doing remix style things
that, you know the ones I've done already
that are on YouTube,
but I started doing those with my friends,
like videos that we'd taken at school, like at lunchtime.
And I would, like, remix my friends
just, like, yelling, screaming and just saying stuff.
And then I think just one day I decided to do one for the Oggscast
because no one was really doing fan music for the Yogscast back then.
It was in like the, it was probably around like episode 40 of Shadow of Israfal.
And that's sort of where it all began.
And I just started doing more and more of that kind of shit.
And then the Oggscast put out an APB and said,
We want that one.
We want that guys.
Bring that boy.
So any of your like original old school remixes exist anyway on the internet?
Well, they're completely gone.
I don't think I ever put them on, I never put them online, but I do have them all.
Backed up on a hard
You see that was my mistake
As a kid
I never backed up anything
At most I put some videos on a CD
To take my grandma's assure
And that's it
Everything else was put on putfile.com
Before the days of YouTube
I couldn't put it on YouTube
So now put file's redundant
It's gone
So all of my childhood's lost
All of it
It's not a single
You never had one
I don't remember any of it
No
I need because I've got a bad memory
I need these physical
On put file
I'm going to tattoo myself
covered in all happy memories
So I'm like
Oh yeah I remember that
You should
That should do that
What about you, Ben?
What's your early internet experience?
Well, like many others, I'm sure you guys remember the...
Oh, of course.
Mom! Mom, get off the phone.
Yeah, that was pretty much it.
So it was the dial-up for the longest time.
I remember watching Beast Wars in cartoon form.
Yeah.
I think I told you guys this.
I watched Beast Wars.
The CGI version.
I can't remember.
Yeah, it was like CG.
It was so long ago, I don't know what it was.
but it was an offshoot of Transformers
where it was Beasts what turned into Roboots
Yes
You were watching videos on dial-up
Fuck! No, no, no, no
I was going to say
I'm not told yet
Okay, sorry Ben
So basically
There was, I don't know why I said basically
Like I'm about to explain
How the fucking internet works
But there was a website
Have you heard of these things called packets
It's called WebSight
And they listed the website for Beast Wars
And I thought, I want to go there
Yeah
That sounds of
We've got that internet
that means I can get more out of my television
television watching, exactly
so then I tried to memorize
this ridiculous link that they had
Was it really long?
Yeah, it was stupid.
Even in the early days.
Just go to www.w.w.bastwores.com
forward slash TV, forward slash watch,
and they included like the dot php and all that sort of shit.
I was like, ah! Ah! So I went to my mum and I said,
I really want to go to this website, but I can't remember what the website was.
She was like, beastwors.com
And it loaded fine.
So I don't know what that was about.
Did he need a lot of less than that day.
Yeah, I really did.
Albinoblacksheep.com.
Oh, yeah.
Went there a lot for Flash stuff.
That was another classic.
Including a prank that my friend pulled on me.
Oh my God.
Where he, it was one of those spooky ones that I didn't realize.
And I'm really bad and scary stuff.
And you have to put the headphones on.
And it was sort of like this ominous,
oh, sort of monk chanting background music.
and like a creepy thing displayed on screen
and it's the Lord's Prayer read backwards
and it got like halfway through
and I was like what is this
and then it just goes
and like shit comes up on the screen
and that fucked me up
really bad
yeah that's the kind of thing
I need to scar
I did not enjoy that
but apart from that Rhincape
do you remember that
oh of course yeah
I mean I played a bit of Rhinxcape as well
do you remember that dot maze
when it gets really narrow
you have to put your face really close to it
and the car one as well
And the car one, my dad showed me that one.
The zombie just walks off the screen.
It's the noise.
It's the noise about everything else that does it.
See, after my dad showed me that, I never trusted them again.
Really?
Yeah, no, that was it.
He was done to his dead years.
That's the thing.
These spooky videos, they don't really exist anymore.
No.
They're making a comeback because of shit Facebook videos.
I've seen a few of them come up recently where people tag their mates and go,
and it's just shit.
Like it's really bad crap content
Speaking of Facebook
Holy fuck do I hate Facebook
Oh boy
People are now posting
Like memes as videos
But it's just
It's just a static image
That is purely to get ad revenue isn't it
It is yeah
Because it'll have like 12 million views
Because people will be like oh what's this
It's just a static photo
That fucking does my head in
Facebook is kind of a black hole of anything
It needs to die
For those of you who do like our page on Facebook
but thank you very much.
Yes, thank you very.
It is just a big, it's like a big collage
that was done by the idiot kid at school, isn't it?
They've just cut out everything.
Yeah, exactly.
Mark Zuckerberg, more like Mark fuckerberg.
Oh, yeah.
You hear that Mark, I'm coming for you, bitch.
Have you seen that Facebook showing off their new VR tech?
I was like a room full of people, just with the masks on.
No, it's not that one.
But they appear in, they've got this 3D camera on top of a car
driving through
where was it
probably San Francisco
Puerto Rico
after all the devastation
Oh shit
yeah
and like there's
it's fucking awful
but it's just
they clearly had no idea
what they were doing
it was live as well
there's Mark Zuckerberg
and the head of their
like VR stuff
with it as well
and they're both there
in avatar form
like think Xbox 360 Avatar
and they stood there
with this camera
and they're rotating it around
and as you can see
you're like
I'm moving my hand
and it's moving around
in the thing as well oh i can smile too look and there's like
anyway here's like a bridge that's collapsed
just a devastate it's the worst thing i've ever seen
but they're like laughing and joking and showing off their new tech and going
yeah it's really bad out here but they could have gone anywhere
they could have gone anywhere i think it's just because they're facebook and they can show off that
look we look in the midst of all right in syria
exactly we've got our bullshit VR camera all the way to syria
fucking hell go go to syria mark succor
and do it in person, you coward.
Just give them some of your money instead.
Don't just turn up with a 3D camera and go,
oh, I'm in Puerto Rico.
The most amazing thing is I'm at our global headquarters
and she's over in our research thing
and like in the midst of this horror and destruction.
Like, we're all safe.
We're not even here.
It's a bit like class tourism, isn't it?
Like common people.
Like, here I am.
Look at them.
This is what it's like to be here.
No, it isn't.
They're wearing maybe a small portion of local dress.
I understand the problems.
No, you don't.
You're in a studio in California park.
In an air-conditioned room.
You robot man.
And after this, you get a drive back to your mansion and probably a Tesla.
Yeah.
Probably.
He's got a Facebook car as well.
Has he?
Wow.
I think so.
Run on the tears of children across the internet.
Yeah, absolutely.
I think that's what he does.
Well, that was a great thing, Mikey.
Thank you.
Thank you for bringing that into play.
Thank you.
Peter?
Thank you.
Do you want to go first or shall I?
Yeah, I've got, I've brought a special...
Oh, what's he whipping out?
That's a phone.
Peter's brought his phone.
Oh, my phone.
What is it, Peter?
What do you do with a phone?
It's my phone, and on it, I have a story I wish to tell you.
Okay.
Do we be quiet and just listen?
I want to hear your reactions as we go.
Okay.
I want to hear what you're feeling.
Did you write this from scratch?
No, no, no.
This is a true story.
Is it a news story?
No.
Right.
It's an old story.
Is it an anecdote?
No.
Is it...
This is a story all about how.
Okay.
Is it...
You're going to guess the exact story.
Is it about how that fire alarm was fitted right there in this room?
No.
No, it's not.
Okay, I can't.
I don't know.
Okay.
In September 1931...
Okay, that was...
I was close.
That fire alarm was missing.
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay.
In September 1931, the Irving family who lived near Dolby on the Isle of Man claimed they heard
persistent scratching and vocalizations
in the wall of their farmhouse.
Okay.
Allegedly, the culprit eventually introduced itself
as Jeff and told them
it was a mongoose born in
New Delhi, India in 1852.
What? Right.
How did he get there?
What? Was there a ghastly?
What did you mean? How did he get there? He's a talking
mongoose, and your question is, how did
he get there? It's really expensive.
Because he was born in New Delhi.
Why shall I be questioning a talking mongoose? This is a true story.
I believe that.
Right.
I mean, how much of this is true?
So this is all reported by the Irving family to tabloids in 1931.
Okay, tabloids, right.
So Jeff introduced himself as a mongoose born in New Delhi, India.
Did he introduce him like, I'm Jeff?
Yes.
Okay.
So before you continue, I don't know if you'll go on to clarify this.
Is this, is Jeff a physical entity?
Is he an actual physical real-life mongoose, or is it...
The ghost of a mongoose.
Exactly, a mongoast that's just in the walls.
that they can sort of try and communicate.
Well, the Irvings say,
Jeff described himself as, quote,
an extra, extra clever mongoose.
I'm very, very smart.
An earthbound spirit,
and a ghost in the form of a mongoose.
Okay, so they've definitely not seen Jeff.
Well, they're just communicating.
And he once said,
I am a freak.
I have hands and I have feet.
And if you saw me, you'd faint.
You'd be petrified, mummified,
turned into stone, or a pillar of salt.
What?
Okay, I was with you,
a pillar of salt bread.
This was all reported
and claimed to be true.
The Irvings are on some, like, wild, wild shit.
Well, the family claimed that Jeff
guarded their house
and informed them of the approach of guests
or any unfamiliar dog.
Not people.
Yeah.
No, a dog that they'd not been introduced to before.
Right.
They said if someone had forgotten
to put out the fire at night,
Jeff would go down and stop the stove.
Jeff would also allegedly
wake people up when they overslept
the mongoose alarm
right so we wouldn't
physically go shove them it just make a noise
I don't know it doesn't say
that's the thing that I'm most interested in is if there's
like this human hand
and footed mongoose
wondering around well the weird thing you know so he says that
you would basically die if you saw me
but as the story develops it turns out that at
some point they did start to just see him
it doesn't say exactly where or when
okay but so
the Irving say that they gave
Jeff's biscuits, chocolate and bananas,
leaving the food for him in a saucer
suspended from the ceiling. Why?
I guess he's a ghost. He can reach it.
Yeah. He can just float. I don't know if he can fly.
But he can eat physical foods. Yeah, do ghosts
have that ability to eat physical foods? I guess
interact with reality. It's a very powerful.
Mongosts do. They even
claim that the mongoose regularly accompanied
them on trips to the market.
Oh, cute. But it always stayed on
the other side of the hedge.
See, that's the level of detail that we
needed.
Yeah, now I can leave it.
Louis Hedges all the way to the market
from their house. He's conveniently never seen.
Yeah. Was it just some time traveller who's
fucking with an MP3 player
or something? Just a guy in like a super
high-tech military camo suit.
Right. He's walking along just a
just a morph suit, a green morph suit.
Carrying on from the points where he ate bananas and
chocolates and biscuits, do you think of a ghost eat real
food? Does it do ghost poos or real poos?
Oh my God, definitely ghost poos. Yeah.
Definitely ghost poos. I don't know.
Can food turn into ghost pooh
food? I think so.
Well, you just have to want it enough.
Yeah, I guess. It's like anything in life, yeah.
But then what happens to, so say, say a ghost
laid out a ghost poo on the floor.
Yeah. But does it just stay there forever?
You have to like some of the, you can't move it.
You can't move it. You can't move it. You got to hire a ghost
caretaker and, and you got to
get a priest to, the ghost caretaker will need a ghost wife.
Yeah. Yeah. Or a ghost husband.
Let's not be ghost sex. Ghostest. Ghosts.
Ghostaphobic, gomaphobic, gomaphobic.
Yeah.
That was a really difficult pun,
the tabloids love the story, of course.
I mean, we love it.
I'd print it in millions of newspapers.
Several other people, both locals and visitors,
claimed to have heard Jeff's voice,
and two, claimed to have seen him.
Now, interestingly...
They're not pillars of salt, though.
No, they're not.
I don't know how it happened, what went down there.
But do you think Jeff sounded like...
I like to think he was really well-spoken.
Oh, hello, I'm Jeff.
Hello, I'm a mongoose born in new...
Maybe he had an Indian accent, let's not do one.
Yeah, let's not do that.
I'd like to think there were bits of mongoose noises
thrown in there itself.
Is that what the mongoose sounds like?
Yeah, it was like, um, uh, Alexander Oloff.
He had like a...
Oh.
Mirtav Movies.
It's a free plug.
Now, interestingly, the Irving's way
was able to provide footprints, hair samples,
and stains on the wall as evidence
of Jeff, but all were identified
as belonging to the Irving sheepdog mona.
So it might be that
they were just really, really
confused, and they thought that their
sheep dog was a
mongoose. You have to be really
confused. I feel like there's something in the air
possibly. Did they have a gas system
in those days? Like a carbon
monoxide thing, maybe. Yeah, like a real
incomplete combustion problem.
That is actually what happened. That
is an explanation for a lot of ghost
sightings, carbon monoxide poisoning.
There are symptoms that cause, like, hallucinations and, like, feelings of dread and fear.
So if you go down into, like, a creepy basement and there's an old boiler there leaking carbon monoxide,
it can cause you to essentially have a ghostly experience.
Oh, my God.
That was a Simpsons episode as well, where Ned Flaners opens up a religious-themed theme park,
and there's a statue with, like, a leak pipe underneath it,
and everyone's, like, seeing visions in front of it and going, oh, my God.
That's amazing.
The Simpsons have truly done everything.
I was going to say it sounds like a recent episode.
Yeah, it was definitely poor season 10.
It's a...
Oh, dear. Not great. Not great.
Oh, dear. Now, there's a...
Not such a nice ending to this story.
Oh, no. Did it kill Mona?
After Father of the House, James Irving died.
The farmhouse was bought by a Leslie Graham
who claimed in the press that he had shot and killed Jeff.
Oh, what?
Leslie!
Leslie Graham...
How is that even possible?
Claimed to the tabloids that he had shot and killed Jeff.
The mongoose.
The ghost...
The ghost...
Most, the ghost with the most, the one ghost.
Yeah.
Now, in 1937, writer and broadcaster, Richard S. Lambert, who was a member of the British...
Say his name properly.
Richard Slambert.
Richard Slambert, who was a member of the British Film Institute.
Yes.
Very well-to-do man.
Yes, B.F. I.
He brought an action for slander against Sir Cecil Levita.
Oh, no, that's a name.
After Levita claimed that Lambert was unfit to be on the board of the British Film Institute.
Peter, Logue.
Yes.
Inside, outside.
Because apparently Richard Slambert had written an article about Jeff,
and Lovita said that Lambert was, quote,
off his head because he believed in the talking mongoose.
And Lembert won the case receiving an exceptional 7,600 pounds in damages in 1937.
And how much is that now?
A lot.
Right, thanks, Peter.
And the case became known as the mongoose case.
That's literally unbelievable.
But it all happened.
I can't believe talking mongoose is a real
They just don't see them anymore
With hands and arms
Well he was a special one
Feet
I'm a freak he said
The fact that he was just called Jeff
As well
GZF is how it's spelled
Maybe it's Geff
Geff
Yeah
I feel sad that he introduced himself
Like hey I'm a mongoose
From Delhi I was born in the 1800s
I'm a freak
Yeah I've got hands and feet
And if you saw me you die
I'm a lover
I'm a child
I'm a mongoose
Let people come to your own conclusions
Never labour yourself a freak.
Because, I mean, Jeff seemed quite handy.
He walked you up on the morning.
He ate bananas and biscuits from a plate up on the ceiling.
He let you know when unfamiliar dogs were approaching.
If it was a dog you knew.
He accompanied you to market behind cover of bush.
Always stayed behind the hedges.
Just out of you.
Chatting incessantly.
Chasing in Cecil.
Incessantly, se Cecil.
Well, there you go.
How did you come across that?
Is this like a personal favourite story of yours or?
I just, I intend, where possible, to bring a bizarre sort of...
Super, well, not, maybe not supernatural, there's some, an oddity.
An odd moment of history.
Your section can be called Off Peter.
Peter Offstyn.
Good, very, yeah, that's great.
Yeah, nailed it.
Welcome to Peter Offs.
Join us next time for another episode of Peter Offthfint.
Ben, yeah.
What did you bring today?
I brought something a little, I brought an audio treat
and I'm not sure how well it's going to pick up on the microphone,
but I'm going to give it a go.
We can edit it in.
So this was something that went around, I can't remember,
maybe it was six months to a year ago.
It was an image that was posted on popular meme website.
Facebook.
Imger.
No.
And it's a screenshot of a text.
And it's an unsolicited text that someone just got out of the blue.
Right.
And it says, hi, Evelyn.
It's Bobby Babaluni.
Good.
It was a pleasure talking with you today.
My client did book her party.
However, if you're still interested in working with me,
I can offer you two hours, 12 to 2 p.m.
for $2.80 instead of $300.
I'll call you tomorrow morning.
Thank you again.
Good night.
Bobby Babelis.
So, immediately, Bobby Babylonie was...
The hanging gardens of Bobby Babylonini.
Yeah.
Was Googled.
Right.
Turns out, of course, Bobby Babaluni is a...
An events, but...
I'll stop laughing at it eventually,
as a child's entertainer, it seems.
Bobby Bobby.
Has a website, which is babaluni.com.
Dot net.
No, not dot net.
They've got the dot com.
It's not a very well-designed website.
There you go.
That's what it looks like.
That doesn't stream child's entertainer, does it?
It doesn't.
But it's very reasonable.
They actually ended up crashing the website last time
because so many people went on to it
but not just because of the funny text
because, and this is sad
because they're getting rid of Flash soon
but there's a flash plug-in for that website
that auto plays a song
for Bobby Babylonie.
Right. I think it's in 2020
they're getting rid of Flash so we've still got a couple of years
to enjoy it. It is, you can access it directly
by going to Bobbiardine, I'll read you the full address.
Does he do balloon related things?
She, sorry.
Look at you, assuming her agenda.
Don't assume any.
Sorry, Bobbs.
It's going to auto play a bit of the song,
but I'll try and pause it immediately
so I can tell you the address.
I'll cover my ears when I keep this a surprise.
Okay, I've managed to pause it.
Nice.
So the full address is babaluni.com
forward slash uploads
forward slash
Babylonie underscore jingle.m.p3
good
good
are you guys ready
I don't think I will be ready for this
but yeah
lay it on me
that's the balloons
pumping you know
welcome to the world
of Babylono
oh my god this is amazing
things you need.
Yes?
I think I know.
Oh yeah.
Who you gonna call?
Yo!
The production value on this is incredible.
Now there's literally a minute and a half of this guy just...
Just doing on.
Bologna!
Hey, it's someone's birthday
A graduation
Just listen to the way you pronounce this shit
It's just still only halfway through the song
So this auto plays when you go on the movie for our opening
We should.
Oh
Switch 16
In trade show
A party meets by any corporate event
What?
So this auto plays when you go on the site
It also plays when you go to babaluni.com.
Now, that's pretty much it.
But, oh, she's in it a bit there.
Oh.
I have brought the lyrics so we could sing along.
Oh, okay.
However, having listened, shut up.
Having listened to the whole thing.
Right.
It's, um, there are only four lines of song and the rest is just scatting, basically.
But I thought we could, Babaluni.
We could, I thought we could maybe, Peter, if you could unfil the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
lyrics so that you and
so that you and Michael could see them
can you see that MJ
it's not much
you can probably put it in on the table
you'll be okay yeah right you're ready
yeah you guys ready
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
you know
I don't know
I don't know when we come in
no yeah it's when you'll know
okay
let's go
If you're having a party,
I'm going to tell you what to do
to score a Babylonie
she'll make the party special for you.
Oh, you're having a sweet 16 or maybe you're 18.
We can do events openings.
Oh, do you want us to christen a boat?
Oh, welcome to Babylon.
Have you ever woken up in the morning
and put on two of the same song.
Now that's Babylonie.
That's a work of art.
So you don't get advertising like that much, do you?
You never get like, so I'm putting the heart and soul into a song
because I want Babylonie now.
Yeah.
For my 24th birthday, you know, Babylonian.
The 24th birthday, you want Bobby, Bobby Babylonluny.
Hi, Evelyn.
It's Bobby Babylon.
Not even.
I think I forgot that was the origin of that.
Hi, Evelyn.
It's Bobby.
It's Bobby, in brackets, Babylonie.
Just in case you're wondering which Bobby is sending you a message about party organisations.
I can do three hours for 300 quid, if you like.
What I really want is to sign up.
Thank you again.
Bobby, Babylon.
Babylon.
So there we go.
you want to hear that because it's
astounding. That is
God, that's a work of art. I have no idea
who sung that
or what the brief was
or how much they did.
In a sort of reggae style.
Sort of Mexican-ish at times.
There's a bit of Italian in there as well.
It's multicultural.
Just somewhere over to the west, basically.
You can just do a very western song for us.
Goodness me.
I'm just thinking, do you ever watch
Chester, Montgomery, is
just like
a mini mall
flea market
you ever watch that
yeah
that's one of my other
favorite advert songs
it's just like
back to school
these tails
haircuts
denim
it's a different one
in time
it's a different one
but that was like
hi Evelyn
it's Bobby Babylonie here
well that's what I brought
today
I was just browsing my phone
I saw it the first time
it went around
but I didn't listen to the song
I think it was doing
the rounds again this morning and I was laying in bed
and I remembered oh shit we're doing the podcast
today. I need a topic so I
thought I'd just bring that along
I don't know if I can find
ridiculous adverts every week like people
no Ben this is your thing now
fun things, fun stories
Jeff the Monghost
Jeff the Monghost
Michael's furry porn
and Benny Babaluni
Can you send us some fan art on Twitter
of Ben dressed as a children's
entertainer? There are photos on her web
To be fair, her balloon animals are quite impressive.
She has a whole gallery.
I just want to Google Bobby Babylonie to see what...
That's Babylonie.com.
Next to Ben, me with a mongoose just on my shoulder
or hovering with a saucer of chocolate.
Or maybe just a mongoose's body, but with your face, hands and feet.
Yeah, with human hands and feet.
I'm a freak.
And then, I guess, Michael's just a dog.
In a furry costume.
Michael's just dressed as a dog.
Having sex with the mongoose.
So I'm just looking at this.
This is Bobby.
Babylonie, she looks far more normal than I was
exactly. She does look really normal. I was expecting
like Mr. Tumble. But there's a very
good balloon elmo in that picture. It is
like the eyes are bulbous.
Oh, Jesus Christ. She says,
Bobby Baba Bulbubis.
Bulbis. Balbilluany.
Bobbus. I don't want to talk about
Hi, Evelyn. I don't want to talk about
Babylonian. I don't want to talk about Babylonia anymore.
Hi, Evelyn. It's Bobby Babylon.
I want to get off Mr. Babylonian's
wild line.
Imagine getting that.
text.
Hey, what's up?
It's Bobby. Peter, I'm just going to send you a text.
Give me a second. Right.
Michael, do you have your phone with you?
I do.
Okay.
Oh, we can't get back. I've got a text.
Sorry, it's my phone app.
Read it to the class.
It's from Ben.
Hi, Peter. It's Bobby Babaluni.
Oh.
Who did you get texted by Michael?
Oh, I got a message from Bobby Babylonini too.
What does it say?
Hi, Michael. It's Bobby Babylonloony.
Oh, Bobby Babylonloon.
Oh, is texting everybody.
You know what I'm working now, Bobby, leave it.
Jesus.
What are you like, Bobby?
Hi, Evelyn.
It's Bobby Babylon.
Let's move on to some questions.
Oh, yeah.
Those are the three things we brought this week.
We hope you guys like them.
Jesus Christ.
I've asked for questions.
We got about 50.
Good grief.
We only needed five.
So if you didn't get your question picked out, don't be upset.
Ask next week.
Ask next week.
Or don't.
And just do better.
There may be a reason why Ben didn't include you.
yours in the list. Yeah, think about that. Yeah. Maybe we don't like you. First up, it's satin
at satin sold. Hi at Satin sold. It's Bobby Babylon. It's Bobbiolini. And they ask,
do you think you'll be doing anything on the Yog's main channel? TTT or anything like that?
What is TTT? That's like transport? No, Trouble and Terrorist Town.
What is that? Because I see it a lot. Oh, TTT or TTT? TTT. TTT. Oh, yes. Trouble in
Territus.
Trouble and Territory.
Gary's Maud.
TDD is Transport Tycoon Deluxe.
Okay.
I don't know if we'll be doing things on it.
I think we certainly would if we were invited.
It's definitely, like, it's definitely a possibility.
Yeah.
We're still early days.
We're just polite, polite smiles and how we use with a lot of the people in the office.
Oh, they're all lovely.
They're all very nice.
But we're not like, I think I can make a joke about, like, fighting your mother while playing a game for YouTube.
Yeah, like.
We don't know them.
that well.
Fuck you,
chin.
I'm going to suck your dick.
Oh,
classic.
I'm showing one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Certainly,
I wouldn't say
it's our lack of
appearance on the main channel
as an indication
that we're not
jelling with our friends
here at the office.
It's all very nice.
Everyone's lovely.
Yeah, everyone is lovely.
And yeah,
if we're ever asked,
I think we would.
For now,
we're just still
finding our feet in a way.
Yeah,
we want to establish who we are first
before we've come trunching
onto the main channel.
But it's a lovely idea.
Also, I'd let you guys down big time on PC gaming.
Yeah, you need to learn to use mouse and keyboard.
I just know FPS controls on PC.
Not really, no.
Like, I've played a few games on PC, but not many.
I did, when I was doing game testing,
it was for a game on PC.
So I, like, but even then, it was just vehicle controls.
I don't even know if it's been announced yet.
I don't know if I'm allowed to even talk about it.
Whoa.
There's a game coming out with vehicles.
No, my God. Ben Potter has been fired.
Yes, Satin, we will, hopefully at some point.
And also all the people who are asking us if we're going to be streaming and stuff like that,
I think we just need to know what we're going to be streaming.
There are slots available.
Next up is Duncan Wallace.
Hello, Duncan.
It's Bobby Babylonie.
Did you all meet at the place that shall not be named, or did you know each other beforehand?
We all did meet.
Yeah, we all met at that place.
I certainly did.
Name redacted.
I was the first one there.
You were.
You were one of the longest serving members of the office.
Yeah, when I left, I was one of the last, one of the, one of the, one of the, one of the, one of the, one of the oldest.
How long were you there for?
Nearly two years?
Nearly two years, yeah.
It's a shame if you're, just a couple of months, you'd have had some employee rights.
I know.
That would have been nice, wouldn't it.
God.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wouldn't have been let go before Christmas.
That would have been, Jesus.
Not allowed to talk about it.
No, we're not.
No, that's fine.
I was there in February.
2016, then Ben turned up.
No, 2017, was it?
No, no, no, it was 2016, it was.
I did, I started freelancing
when I was still doing game development,
maybe like April time.
Yeah.
And then I was offered a job in,
like maybe late May, early June,
and then I started properly in the office in August.
MJ, no, so you were before Ben,
weren't you?
I don't know why I said that you were.
No, not.
He was after.
Yeah, I was like October 2016.
Ah, yes.
At Gradient Biscuit asks,
For getting your new jobs,
what is the best thing about your move to Bristol?
And a number of people actually asked similar questions about it.
Well, you know what the worst thing about the move to Bristol is?
Is it the weather?
The fucking rain.
Yeah, it never ends.
It's persistent.
It's horrible.
Another worst thing is the cost of living is significantly higher.
Horrible.
When it's sunny, it's a marvellous place.
It's very, very cultural.
There's lots of wonderful restaurants,
which I'm excited to keep trying.
Every Saturday I make the effort.
to go somewhere noon.
Yeah, I went to go see Black Panther this weekend,
and then Michael text me and says,
oh yeah, I'm in town.
Like, all right, so we meet up.
And he just goes to this...
Tuck-Tuck.
It's an Asian fusion place.
Asian Fusion sits down and orders himself
a Katsu curry that I just watch him eat.
And then I asked, how much was that, Michael?
Oh, like $7.50.
And he's just wandered into town on a Saturday on his own
to have an expensive lunch.
Because he's not paying as much of a crippling rent as we are.
Yeah, because I'm flat sharing.
Come on.
I don't like people.
I want my own space
My flat mate's moving out
in two days
So we're getting a new one
There's a new one
Could be anyone
Could be a murder
Oh my god
I was
It could be Bobby Babylon
Oh
I'm gonna be Bobby Babylonia
I'd be alright with that
It's me
Bobby Babylonie
Oh I see like I'd get
All the tester balloons from her
Or maybe
Maybe you'll hear a knock on the door
And you'll open it
And there'll be no one there
But it'd be like
Hello my name's Jeff
I was born in New Delhi
In India
In 1856
You wouldn't hear a knock
You'll hear a scratch
You're a freak.
I'm a freak.
Mungoose noises.
If any dogs come that you've not yet met, I'll see him away for you.
I'll also come with you to St. Nick's Market, provided that you go near.
Yeah, if there's a hedge on the way.
Peter, what do you like about Bristol?
It's hard to say because I feel like most, if not all of the good things that I like are kind of related to the new job.
I certainly like hanging out with you guys, hanging out with the other office people after work.
it's nice being close to the office
and just like being able to cycle in
I think I just like my new flat actually
I think it's a nice flat
just a little man pad thing
you got your tap fixed
yeah your tap as well
yeah my taps fixed this morning
do you want to tell the story of the angry tap man
oh my god here's one of it was horrible
it was horrible so my tap was dripping
my bath tap and also my kitchen tap
so I told the people and they were like
okay, we'll send a plumber, that's fine.
Plummer turns up, he goes and does the kitchen tap,
takes him like 10 minutes, it's great,
make him a cup of tea,
then he goes into the bathroom,
takes the tap off,
and then just has an absolute mare
for about three hours, just...
Ben, no, stop it.
I heard a little bit of Bobby over there.
That's the balloons popping.
Right.
You hear that, that's the balloons of popping.
And he took this tap off,
and then just was unable to get any other
tap back on it.
Right.
And at one point he had me like
squatting barefoot in my
own bath because it had all this dirty water in it
and holding onto this
tap while he reached
underneath the bath
like on the inside and was trying to tighten it all up
and he was going, oh fuck
fuck, fuck, cunt!
Get in, cunt!
And at one point he just turned to me, look me right in the eyes
and I went, this was not fucking worth the hassle
for a drip mate.
This was not worth the hassle.
This is your fault, Peter. You did this to him.
And then later on, he's going like, oh, I'm not coming here again.
They can fire me if they want.
They can fire me.
Incidentally, he has been fired.
No, really?
Yeah, I found it.
He was a subcontractors.
He's not been, like, fired from the company that he works for.
Wow.
But he's been, they've, like, severed that deal where they're subcontractors.
He sounds awful.
He's a terrible attitude all day, though.
Oh, he was a dreadful, dreadful man.
I was meant to come into work.
I told the guys are like, oh, I'll be in at, like, maybe half 10, 11.
It got to, like, two o'clock, and they were like, just don't come in, just work from home.
I had a great day.
We went out for lunch, I got gelato.
It was great, you did.
I had a dreadful time.
And he was just, he was like borderline abusive in my own house.
And then eventually just abandoned the job and said, I'm not getting this on.
I can't get in there.
My hands can't get in there.
See ya.
Left you with, just left you with no bathtub.
So I did have an overhead shower, fortunately.
So I didn't get all stinkums for like two weeks.
Right.
Today, I had a bathtub put in by a competent plumber and it took in 10 minutes.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
God damn.
I don't know anything about plumbing,
but it's quite a different set
between a 10-minute job
and a four-hour hell-hellish entrapment case.
Absolutely.
Yeah, it's pretty bad.
I like Bristol.
Yeah, me too.
I think it's very pretty.
I also really liked Newcastle as well.
Yeah, I really like Newcastle.
I love Newcastle, and Bristol's also very lovely.
It's just a lot more expensive.
Yeah.
Next question.
A.I asks, what is...
Are you allergic?
to AI.
Shit, God, not him.
What are some of your favourite games
and why?
Binding of Isaac.
Really?
That's 600 hours so far?
That's enough hours.
Well, no, my thing.
I was talking to Barry, Barry, Harry.
And he was saying, 600 hours, that's nothing.
I've got like 4,000 hours in Doaida.
And like, what?
Christ.
Several thousand hours in Dark Souls.
I'm like, what the fuck?
How is that possible?
That's insane.
Where do you find the time?
I know, absolutely.
You go home, bam, that's what you do.
But I can never do that.
I've always got stuff to do.
Yeah, me too.
But, yeah, Binding Varsig is, I think, probably is my favorite game ever,
which, linking back to the beginning, started off as a flash game on New Grounds.
Did he really?
It does look like a flash game.
It's changed a bit since then, but it's changed.
It's a bit.
It's waved his hand to cut.
It's changed.
But I think, I don't know.
I've been playing it for years now, and I never really get bored of it.
No, I saw you've played it the other day.
Yeah, I thought, it's always on my mind.
It's like, it's nice when I go home, like, have a nice hour where I,
put on a podcast and there's play some binding advice
like it's fucking good
I do highly recommend it it's very cheap
it's always on sale you get for like a pound sometimes
so yeah that's my game
recommendation
it's difficult to narrow it down to one
I've got so much like RuneScape obviously is a big one
I don't play it much anymore
obviously I haven't played it for a while
I got back into it
when you say a while you mean like some months ago right
yeah I got back into it last summer
and before then it was years
because I didn't realize that they'd re-release
I'm tempted. I'm tempted.
I'll get it installed for you. We'll jump in.
Apart from that, Final Fantasy 7, Pokemon Blue,
Mass Effect 2 was a big one for me.
Bloodborn you like.
Love Bloodborn. Souls Games, a huge fan of those.
I need to try, like, properly try a Sol's game at some point.
Remastered.
Yeah, the new ones can be out on it, and we'll get that.
We'll introduce you to it.
And what was the other? Time Splitters.
Oh, yeah.
Just to represent PS2.
Which one? Time Spitters.
Oh, see, Future Perfect has a brilliant campaign
Because it's really funny
But two, I think, is better for local co-op
Yeah
But yeah, the arcade modes and those are insane
I had a Time Splitters game for my original Xbox
And I never got past the first level
Because I think the level starts in Notre Dame
And it was really...
Oh, that's one of the levels
Yeah, it really spooked me
Yeah, the zombie levels always freaked me out
So I literally never got past that level
I never played it. Madness in Times Spitters 3
Yeah, there was like two missions, wasn't it this time?
Yeah, horrible
And even just the music
there's like a sort of
you've got to go from room to room
there's zombies bursting out on fire
there's the deer haunter
the big boss that comes out of the well
oh yeah the princess
princess yeah and uh dead weena
the little girl ghost
dead we're oh god and then you've got
Joe Joe Beth Casey
Joe Ba'ath creepy is the spooker pose
but that's the only source of humor in there
is that she's wearing this goddamn top
that says slut on it
Giant boobs.
And how old she meant to be?
Maybe like 15 or something?
It's awful.
But there's this ladder in between levels.
Oh God, yeah.
And the cut scene where they look down at both of them, Sergeant Cortez and Joe.
And there's just loads of horrible noises coming.
And she looks at him and goes, you go first.
And then it's a first person perspective of him looking down at her tiny, tiny mini skirt.
And he just goes, okay.
Okay.
And it's not okay.
No.
But it was funny.
Yeah.
I thought it was funny at the time.
But times have changed.
It's not like a teddy bear dangling off her back on her rucksack.
It's all meant to be sort of like weirdly sexual.
Yeah.
That kind of stuff.
What about you, Peter?
My, I can get it down to about two, I think.
Spire the Dragon.
Yes.
Spire one.
Oh, I love to Spire.
Oh my God.
Just the world building and Stuart Copeland's soundtrack.
I could just play it forever and ever and ever.
And it just takes me back to my childhood.
So I asked how excited you were about the remaster as well.
I mean, we don't know it's happening, but it's almost certainly going to happen.
I'm very excited if they can just pull it off, I think, visually more than anything.
I don't mind so much how it feels.
I don't even mind how much it sounds, but I don't want Spiro to look like a fucking goblin.
Please.
Stunt-nosed little weird thing.
I mean, I'm sure if it's vicarious, particularly, they'll probably try and match it to classic Spiro, like the bit of Crash.
Vicarious Visions being the developer of the Crash.
Of course, yeah.
So we'll just have to see how it goes.
I think I'll reserve all judgment
until the initial teaser comes out
and they show Spiro, presumably,
and then I'll be able to get excited.
That could make or break you.
What if it's a disgusting looking little dragon?
If it's going to be really bad,
I won't mind that much.
I guess you've always got the original.
Yeah, I just not play it.
I'll be like, well...
You don't have to look at the front.
Usually you're behind Spirore really.
That's a good point.
If he's got a fine ass, that's all the matter.
Hell yeah, I'm excited.
All about that ass.
Alternatively, beyond good news,
Evil is well up there.
Again, really excited for the sequel.
It's a prequel, actually.
Yeah, well, it's at least now official.
Oh, is it?
Yeah, they announced it at E3.
Oh.
And, like, there's a website to follow the development.
It's happening.
Michel Ansel keeps posting, like, concept art and stuff on Instagram.
So it's definitely happening.
But, yeah, the original game still stands up really well.
I played through it not so long ago, like, end of last year.
And it's just genuinely really fun.
It's a merry all time.
Cinematic.
It's got a good, fun world, photography mechanic,
take pictures of all the animals and stuff.
Yeah, it's just got everything.
Have you seen that new game that was announced last week,
which has got, it's just a CG trailer.
Right.
And I can't remember exactly what it's called.
I think it's got mutant in the title.
It's not biomutant, which is that other one that's coming out.
But it sort of shows a post-apocalyptic world,
as all these things are.
Sure.
There's a pig man, a duck man,
and a ladywoman, but she, when they start coming under attack,
she sort of turns into this sort of crystallized rock person type thing.
It looks quite interesting, and they've all got guns
and they're being attacked by sort of...
I've not seen this.
Old security systems or something.
It looks interesting.
Sounds good.
Sort of in that similar vein might tie you over until Beyond Good and Evil 2 comes up.
A duck man.
A duck man.
That sounds good.
He's literally just a duck in people clothes.
Right.
And a pig man
which is sort of
it's just walking
on its
on its hind legs
Yeah, trotts us
It's a bit creepy
Trots us
Yeah exactly
Final question
Oh my God
It's from Edmund Smith
Hi Edmund
Hi Edmund
What do your mums
Think about what you're doing
That's a good question
Mine watches
And is very supportive
Yeah
In that other video
The other day
Yeah
With Postum Tatt
Where you said
Something about
Something being older than my mum
And I said
ha you wish she's ancient
my mom
oh did you ma'am
oh she texted me about that
what she said
you cheeky bugger
no more comments like that
um
I don't think my man watches the videos
I don't think she understands YouTube either
like I've spent months battling
like trying to explain the job to her
like my old job she kind of got that
video editor okay I just together videos
I understand that but now I'm
like I'm making
but who watch how is all this funded
what is this and I don't know how
explain it to it. Why is there an industry?
Why is this? I mean, that boggles my mind as well.
She's probably just happy.
But what do you make, like, do you, what do you produce?
What do you manifest? Like, but how do you get money for the videos?
Like, do people buy, are they on VHS?
What is this?
How do you get them?
Should you do a weekly, like, video newsletter?
All the subscribers get DVD.
Yeah, VHS would be good.
Yeah, I'd say my, my mum fall somewhere in between the two where she watches some stuff.
I don't think she really watches stuff where it's like heavy gameplay focus.
Yeah.
She loved cooking mama
Why you professed your love for
Mama, yeah
Which is a bit weird
Right
She's met Amy, right?
She has me, yes
She also really likes
But yeah, she really likes
The stuff where we're like
On the sofa
Having a chat
She thinks you're very funny Ben
She likes it when we both
Sort of get a bit like
No, no! Oh, what's happening?
Help! Help! Help!
I wish my mum thought it was funny
Right, yeah
Well, you can have mine if you like
Do you swap?
No, I...
Mine's very old.
Yeah, she's really, really old.
But on the other hand, I don't think my mom still truly understand.
I think she now thinks she understands.
Like, it used to be that she would say that she didn't understand.
Now she thinks she understands, but she doesn't.
Like, she'll still get things wrong.
Right.
That's all right.
For example, when I, this is not actually video, it's related,
but when I did the remix for the jingle jam in December,
I then told her in January, like,
oh, they made, like, how many millions did they make?
Was it like five million?
It was about five million.
Yeah, it was like five.
I said something like, I said, oh, it's amazing.
They'd like, after all the live streams they've done 30 days, 31 days,
and all the things they've sold, they've made five million.
And then like two days later, we had some people ever for dinner.
And she turned to them and said, hey, tell them how much your song made for Yogscast.
And I went, no.
What, I've not told you how much, I don't know how much it made.
And I was like, you don't mean five million, do you?
No, Peter, that was all you.
Every penny was thanks to you.
To be fair, it was like a 99% Austin effort.
Yeah, it sure was.
I mean, you know, sure, like 24-hour live streams is great or whatever it's.
They didn't make a room a day.
That's just the fuel for the real creative is it, really.
So, yeah, that was funny.
My grandparents just don't understand.
Yeah, mine don't really get it.
They were shown the Paris flog, and they enjoyed that because it was us, you know, at somewhere.
Yeah.
Oh, there's Ben.
He's doing all right.
when I showed them the
where it was really, my mum was
proud and she was showing them stuff and they were
clearly just like not interested at all
because they just didn't understand
but no I think our mums
are relatively sort of
understanding. I'd love to get our mums in one day
yeah my parents are very supportive
and proud and they just
sometimes get things a little bit
incorrect. Confuddled. Well gentlemen
it's time to begin wrapping up
I first want to express a big
thank you to everyone who has supported
us over the past sort of month or so.
It's been magical.
We're way ahead of where we thought we would be
and it means the world.
Next thing is the Patreon which we announced
at the same time as this podcast
which again blew our minds.
We were expecting a couple of people
to throw us a pound or something but nope.
Yeah, like just a few dollars
just so we can buy like silly props and stuff
but you guys have gone above and beyond
and I think we're on over $100 now.
Yeah, we are.
Which we fed directly into Daniel Woolford
suggestion to get this podcast on Podbean.
I name drop him specifically because he actually sent us a Facebook message saying,
hey, Podbean's really good, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Thank you, Daniel.
So we've been able to feed that money immediately into getting this podcast onto iTunes,
which hopefully it's just awaiting approval from iTunes, and then it should be there.
So we should be ready to go.
In fact, by the time you listen to this, it may be on iTunes.
Sure.
So again, thank you so much to our patrons for that.
If you want to go and check it out, it's patreon.com forward slash viduets official.
It is.
And that's where that is.
Now, a little bit of admin, this week sees the return of worst games ever on Friday, which is very exciting.
We can't say what we're doing just yet, but we have received something else that we've purchased with Patreon money, which is our new game selection method.
It will not feature in this episode, unfortunately, because it arrived today, but it will feature in the next episode.
So exciting.
It's very exciting.
It's very stupid as well.
We will also, it's a good week this week.
Yeah.
We also have the second episode of Skyrim Zoo.
Oh my God.
That's coming out on Saturday.
It's a good one.
It gets sillier.
Oh, you do not know how much sillier it gets.
Michael's been editing them.
Yes.
And on Thursday, we kick off the new set of, or the new series of Proof.
Last time it was for Cooking Mama, where we had to play Cooking Mama for two Let's Plays
and then prove what we'd learned in a live action finale.
Even better than Mama.
Hi, Mama.
Even better than Papa Lily.
Bobby Mabaloon.
This time, I can't say what we're going to be playing.
You'll just have to wait until the thumbnail appears and you'll know immediately.
But I think you guys will enjoy it because the live action portion is particularly...
It was stinky.
It smelled.
So we hope you enjoy that.
We're playing poo simulator 2018.
Oh, no, you ruined it.
Sewage, sewage sim.
But that's the first episode of Poddietz.
I think it's been suitably meandering and silly.
Yeah.
I hope you guys liked it as well
please leave an iTunes review if you're on iTunes
and if you're not on iTunes and you're watching this on YouTube
then you can find us on iTunes if that would be more convenient
even then there's a direct download link in the description
and all that sort of stuff if you want to listen to it
in whatever fashion you desire.
Yeah, put it on cassette and play it in your car.
Can we put a link to the Bobby Babylonian song?
Absolutely. I think we're going to link to everything.
Do a link done below if you want to see Bobby Babylonian.
So I get a link to loads of fairy porn and hentai.

We'll see you next.
I'm adding it.

Look at the lyrics.
Cheers.
