So we've got an update. Oh, yeah. Do you want to remind everybody what happened at the
beginning of the last podcast, Mikey? We committed an act of vandalism on Google Maps,
to put it simply. We do that a lot, don't we? And then we encourage it. And we don't say other people
to do it, but other people do it. And it just adds more collateral damage to our impending bill from
Google and the maintenance may have to come around and sweep up our mess. But yes, we honed our
sites in on the Snappy Tomato Pizza franchise in Bristol. And what did we change the title too?
I actually can't remember. It's Snappy Tomato Pizza hyphen Bristol hyphen Pottietz-Feld Hoyer's
Meat Faisery's Meat Faisery Empire grows. It does. It's our own franchise.
so shortly after it wasn't accepted during the recording of the podcast but it was about 24 hours later
and none of us have been able to see it update on Google Maps and it's still not there
but I did receive an email yesterday at the time of recording saying your reported problem
is making a difference is what it says thanks Ben the place you updated on Google Maps is
really popular. Because you updated
the name of Snappy Tomato Pizza
Hyphen Bristol, it has been seen over
10,000 times. Yay!
Your edit is not only helping people
but the business as well.
Keep it up.
And it says new name, Snappy Tomato Pizza
hyphen Bristol hyphen Pottietz, Feldoyers
Meat Faisery, old name
Snappy Tomato Pizza hyphen Bristol.
But it's, I still can't see
it there. No, I can't. Apparently, 10,000
people have witnessed it, but not us, the
creators. That's maddening.
I don't know why.
Google thinks it's there, but it's not.
I'm just going to search Poddietz on Google Maps and see what happens.
I think last time there's a few others.
Someone added the Newcastle Gregs as Podiat's Meat Fearsery.
Yeah, it was very briefly a Podiat's meatfacer in Newcastle Greggs, which is good.
And that's M-E-A-T-F-A-C-E-R-I-E, just in case you're curious.
I can view my edits.
I'm going to do that now.
I'm going to search Google Maps for Meat Facery.
Right.
So I can view all my previous edits here, which is very useful, actually.
There's, of course, the Feld Hoyer's Fun Foods, Poddits Meat Facery, which is still there.
Unchanged.
That can never change.
That's a turn to tell me that.
13.2,000 views.
McDonald's, they would not apply our edit.
Remember the time we tried to play it?
We tried to change the name of the McDonald's near the meat facery.
Oh, yeah.
We're going to call it McDonald's Poddiots meat facery, probably.
Oh, my God, I just typed in, I got my phone in front of the microphone, sorry.
I just typed in Pollyots, and it's come up with Greggs in Newcastle.
Oh, so it's still in there.
It just says Gregs, but when you, yeah, when you search for Poddiots,
it instantly drops a pin on Greg's closed.
that's so sad
we need to stop going after
protected monuments like Gregg's and McDonald's
We do
It wasn't applied to McDonald's
It's also
It's also not been applied
to the Amazon Hub locker
In
Let's see
Which German city is this
It's near Recklinghausen
You suggested
Poddietz presents
Amazon Hub locker
Apparently they didn't like that one
one to say that's not been approved.
I like Pottietz presents as a prefix for me.
It's good, isn't it?
Yeah.
I think that was us saying, if we do that, does that mean we own Amazon?
I think that's why we attempted that one.
It's so brazen as well.
That's probably, that's like a serial killer returning to the scene of the crime.
Yeah.
And getting more and more comfortable.
Standing in the background of the BBC news coverage, it's sort of in the crowd.
Yeah.
And at the top of my list of edits, it says,
Snappy Tomato Pizza hyphen Bristol pending name and opening date, which I changed to something
stupid, I think.
Yeah. So it's still a chance.
So, yeah, it's not actually gone through, but it thinks it's gone through.
Weird.
We're in a naming limbo.
Which is weird.
Our photo's still there, though, of us holding hands.
And Dave, so the list is still there.
Thank you, Connor, for adding the photo of Dave in the ball pit.
I'm also thrilled to announce that
it says in the same email
More records this week
It's officially reached a thousand views now
Which is a picture of Dave in the ball pit
That was added to the Angel of the North
But it's wonderful
Because it looks like
From the context of the photo
With the caption that Dave Benson Phillips
Is the Angel of the North
He is, he is though
I don't know where he's from
Hopefully the north.
I'm going to add it to the screenshot.
My photo of Dave Benton Phillips attached to Mount Rushmore
has been viewed 14 times, which makes me very happy.
Wow, all 14.
There's got to be so many photos added, haven't there?
Yeah, well, at the time, I couldn't find it.
I added it, and you guys, I think, found yours,
and I was just scrolling through photos and photos,
and it said it had been added.
I was like, I don't know where it is.
I can't find Dave anymore.
Just pictures of Mount Rushmore.
but it has been viewed 14 times.
That's incredible.
I think we've done really well.
I also just want a photo of Pottieets Presents Amazon Hub Locker.
Google couldn't verify you at just because I really like.
I can't remember doing that one.
No.
I vaguely remember that one.
But it's a good one.
We should try that again.
Does one of you want to try it now?
Not on an Amazon locker,
but maybe on some poor corner shop that doesn't deserve the hatred.
Yeah.
Let me find something in Newcastler.
think. Well, while you're doing that, Michael, I can tell you what Podiatz is actually presenting at
present. Uh, yes. Pottyx presents a brand new t-shirt. Some of you have heard about it and seen it
on social media. It is beans time, everyone. Um, we promised it for a long time and the beans
time has now come. So you can go to store.orgscast.com. Uh, for a while it was on the front page on
the new editions tab. I don't know how often they have new additions. So it may no longer be on the front
page if we've been replaced by other further additions but you'll find us search for
idiots search for beans it'll be there and consider perhaps buying one if you'd like to support
the podcast it's quite a number of you have already and some of you even have got them in your hands
and are wearing them and looking very dapper yeah we've seen photos of you and everything
Peter's actually getting married in the shirt yes we've tried to talk him out of but he
insisted that it is, in fact, beans time.
So that's it.
There's no talking him down.
When you both get married, the priest man just says, what time is it?
It is beans time?
It is.
It is.
He'll death do us fart.
Peter Austin.
Is it bean time?
It is.
It is.
So anybody in this room, know any knowledge of why it should not be beans time.
Please speak now or forever.
Hold your signs.
Hold your beans.
Hold your piece.
Oh, God.
And also with you, it is.
I've had my mouse cursor hovering over it, hovering over a certain building in Newcastle for a while.
I don't know whether or not to do it.
Oh, God.
Should I rename Cultaholic Ventures Limited to Pondi Express?
No, no, no.
Adam Pachiti barely tolerates our existence.
Okay, okay.
You mustn't, you mustn't.
However, a business next door.
I'm going to go for the university residence, uh,
Instead, the one of the student accommodations, I think that's a safe bet.
There's definitely got to be near where the cultaholic triple jump towers are.
There's got to be some legacy businesses that are still registered on Google Maps that have since moved out.
Because we've moved into three of their offices.
So surely there's some stuff that isn't going to be noticed.
This is really scary.
I'm going to try and find something that's got.
I don't know.
I'm worried someone's going to come for me.
You're committing a crime.
I'm going to see what I can find that's
yes there's the students union I see that
I see there's none
there's none in our block
those are probably still active businesses there
yeah can we change the name
of the viaduct to potty it's presents who's burned
viaduct
the Tyne Bridge
oh god
Podiat's
I'm going to try and claim the time
bridge
I wonder if I can
claim a geographical feature such as
the River Tyne.
Poddius presents the River Time.
Yeah.
Can we change the name of Newcastle on Google Maps?
Can we change the planet to Podius?
Oh my God, it's actually letting me suggest
a new name for the Tyne Bridge.
Should I just misspell it?
The Time Bridge.
The T-I-M-E bridge.
See if anyone notices.
Oh, okay.
This feels wrong.
Pudyates presents
Tynbridge,
colon time bridge.
This is why people
Rob Banks, right, for the adrenal rush
and we're getting that right here.
Oh, this gives me so much pleasure.
It's one of the best cold opens
who've ever done.
We've been doing it for 10 minutes.
This is just the podcast now, isn't it?
Yeah.
Poddietz is that, that's that podcast
where those three white boys
rename things on Google Maps
and giggle about it, isn't it?
Yeah, and like nine out of 10 of them,
don't get a.
approved, but they still find it funny.
Okay. Submit.
This is, thank you for improving Google Maps.
Okay, well, it's been submitted.
It's absolutely not being accepted.
Well, algorithmically, you've probably got a pretty high score now,
because as soon as you change snappies,
they gained way more traffic.
So they might just believe what,
it's like the self-assessment system on the YouTube ads
when you say, there are no boobs in this video,
and they say, yes, you were correct.
Last time you said there were no boobs.
in this video
you gain a little score
a reliability score
this guy's trustworthy
there we are
I've tweeted it now
suggest an idiot
edit
poddiots presents
suggest an idiot
presents
Tyne Bridge
absurd
oh god
right
should we move on to the podcast
now
we should probably
should do that
we should probably do that
it's been approved
what
published
it says at least
No, I think when something's that small, it doesn't, it just, it just, it does it, or does it, it doesn't hang on.
Where's the oozeburn viaduct?
Nearer, near, it.
It says it.
Oh, my gosh.
I just Googled Oosburn bydox and it says, buddy, it's present.
Oosburn, Viaduct.
Oh, it doesn't say it on Google Maps for me.
Oh, it does on the Google Maps app for me.
I've got it on my phone.
I don't know if you're on your browser or.
Oh, maybe that'll do it.
I'm on my browser.
my browser.
Do you want me to screenshot it?
Oh, no, I see it.
This is,
someone needs to stop us.
Why is it so easy?
Why is,
he can't keep getting away with this.
Poddietz presents
ooze burn viaduct.
That's ridiculous.
I'm a big follow of that.
I'll add that to the thread.
That is, that is, I can't believe that.
That's given me such a high.
genuinely I enjoy this so much
and I look forward to this being a recurring feature
as we slowly perhaps take over small towns
in different countries in the future
just slowly claim businesses
anyway truly we need to start the show now
yes we do yes we do
hello everybody and welcome to
The official
Vidyats
Podcast
It's a conversational podcast
where we take some questions
from you at home
and obey the law of the three us
where everybody brings
a thing along to talk about
Poddiet presents Ben
Poddietz presents Peter
and Poddietz presents Mikey
Hello
Hello, how are you boys doing
it's hot, etc
are good
Same old, yeah
Still sweating
I think the past
At least two episodes, we started by saying, how are you doing? It's warm.
So you can take that as red, almost.
Yeah, red hot.
Yeah, all very good.
Peter, when this is being released, you are going to become a married man in just a few days' time.
How are you feeling about that?
I'm feeling fine. I'm feeling good, feeling excited.
I'm looking forward.
Yeah, sexy and free.
And I'm looking forward to not having to plan a wedding anymore.
Yay.
Yeah.
It won't be long.
It will be a wonderful day, I'm sure.
It will.
And the gang will be all back together again.
All three of us will be there.
That's true, yeah.
Yeah, Peter told me that he sat us on different tables, Mikey,
so that we wouldn't beat each other up.
That was not quite the reason.
But, yeah, I've had to, for reasons of how many people we can have per table
and how many yogs cast people are coming and how many triple jump people are coming,
it's just had to sort of divvy up in a way that you two are not together.
Drive check.
So it's not like a children's table off to the side with all the content
writers on it.
Great on.
Yeah.
Did you get my email about the live poddy at's performance we're going to do during the dinner?
I didn't, but I'd like that to be a surprise if you can.
Well, yeah, yeah.
So we'll bring a thing along as I'm going to say.
All right.
I'm sure everyone I'll love it.
Excellent.
Yeah.
And you can't bring your wedding.
All right.
That's cheating.
Yeah.
Come on.
You've got to talk about something else.
Mikey, how are you?
I'm doing.
Good. It's been a busy few weeks. I've been involved in some very fun shoots, but I know. I can talk about one of them. We did a live stream for Power Wash simulator with some lovely content creators. Truly, the dizzying heights of being a creator is being shipped to Bristol to power wash a dirty wall in an industrial estate, right?
You have a lot of power, don't you really? You mean you did a live action? I thought you meant you just did like a let's play, but no, you went and actually power washed a wall in Bristol, did you?
It was quite embarrassing to walk into a power wash rental place and explain what we needed it for.
It'd be like, yeah, there's this game about your whole job and people pay for fun.
And we're going to go be pretend power washes for a bit.
That's good.
Yeah, fun.
And another thing, which hopefully you'll see how my Twitter is seeing that I'm quite excited about.
Oh.
It's all secret.
Hush, hush.
That's nothing or a work thing.
A work thing.
It was quite a lot of fun.
A career highlight, if you will.
Oh, that is exciting.
A career highlight, no less.
this is from a man who's had personal messages from
Dave Benson Phillips and the neighbour's cat
so this better be good Mikey
well okay let me rephrase that
a career highlight that I can share
on LinkedIn put it that way
not one that gets spread on the podium
don't worry being a fourth floor career highlight
yeah exactly
I can't be begun plastering my farts
all around my professional role
well not yet I went until I get in the door
and then I unleashed that
yeah yeah sorry you hide a freak
thanks for contributing you

Shall I claim the Tyne Bridge as mine?
Do you manage Time Bridge? Yes.
Do you manage Tyne Bridge?
Google, we've just told you what it's called.
The question you're meant to be asking is, do you manage Podiat's presents the Tyne Bridge?
Don't, come on, get it right.
Come on. Get it right. We've literally just corrected you.
I don't think I'm brave enough to accept responsibility for managing Tyne Bridge.
No, there's probably a lot of insurance issues and stuff.
that, you know, like they do the Great North
run over it, I think, don't they?
Yeah. I think I'll get a lot of
emails as well. Like every time
anyone posts a photo, I'd probably be
notified. A lot of people
jump off it as well, um,
which is not something you want
responsibility for. Oh, we've
just had a tweet from
at Desi Love
uh, Pottiots is the National
Trust hyphen car park.
Oh no.
It's still gone trend as well.
That's in Stoke-on-Trent, ST8-7G-Z, if you want to see that.
Thank you very much for your dutiful service.
I appreciate you.
Thank you.
Wow.
Well, we won't have to do it anymore after probably this episode.
There would just be constant people doing it for us.
No, we'll have to check in at the start of the next episode to see how things are getting on.
Kind of like a neo-pet, isn't it?
A geopet.
You're still alive a week later.
Absolutely.
See what's still going.

Hi, boys.
My partner, Max, I hope you married,
has been having a bit of a rough one recently,
so I was wondering if you could send him a big jolly hello.
We always listen to the pod when we cook
and spend most of our evenings re-watching Worst Games.
Love you long time.
Oh.
Hi, Max.
Hello, Max.
How you doing?
What you're cooking?
What's cooking, good looking?
What's cooking, man?
Is it good?
You're going to send us summon a little Tupperware that goes out of date?
Which episode of Worst games are you watching tonight?
Man.
Man.
Oh, friend.
have you got your idiot's meal at the hand and ready?
Yeah.
Is it beans time, Max?
I bet it is.
He loves his beans, does our Max.
It is beans time.
Thank you, Gustonk.
And hello Max.
Hello, Max.
We also have sex slave Benson Phillips.
Okay.
Fucking beans time, boy.
Yeah.
And finally, just keep swimming ash.
Thank you so much, all of you for joining Pod Squad.
remember streamlabs.com forward slash potty it's donations three pounds or more it's got a shout
at the beginning and the end of the show uh mikey your question boy this week i am indeed
would you boys like a question yes this one comes from a mole jiller at its gavin gaming on
twitter and they say pick one and the other two completely stop existing the three options are
fork knife or spoon
I misread this I thought
I thought you only had to get rid of one
but now this is a much scarier predicament
now they're only being reduced down to one utensil
Jesus I'm personally
in my day to day life
I'm always using a spoon
that's
it's a useful shoveling implement
exactly and it may be blunt
but you can you can use it to like kind of forcibly chop
something in half. You can stab things
with it. It does everything all the other ones do
just not quite as well, but it still does
them. So I
never use a spoon really
day to, apart from to like stir
tea or take a tea bag out,
but I could easily do that with a fork.
But there are some things
that you can't do with a fork,
you, yeah, some spoon related
tasks that a fork will not
do, such as
soup, which I don't eat,
but whatever. Yeah.
Yeah, yoghurt.
I mean, you get a little bit on the prongs each time,
but it would take you forever.
So you can't, I think the biggest incorrect answer to this is a fork.
You can't.
Yeah, I don't think you can just keep fork and get rid of knife and spoon.
Oh, I see your biggest incorrect.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, the most incorrect answer.
The knife is rubbish.
You don't want to keep a knife.
Well, I mean, a knife...
What, as the solo implement?
Surely not.
Not as a solo implement.
I guess not.
You could...
No, no, I guess not.
But a knife is very useful.
If you're going into things like bread knives and stuff,
maybe we're just talking dinner table...
No.
There's not an ideal situation here.
No, there's not.
To rip bread with your hands or get pre-sliced.
Yeah.
I feel like give it 100 years,
whatever we end up with,
we will have evolved to use it perfectly.
So I think it's going to be a tough few teething years
when we transition to our single utensil,
but maybe food will adapt.
Maybe no longer will have wet foods.
That's it.
Everything's nice and just a big slab.
Yeah.
Pick up a stab or whatever you need.
Yeah.
Maybe you could get a spoon,
which essentially doubles as a fork.
You can do pretty much everything with a spoon
that you can do with a fork.
But if you just sharpened the edges down,
then you could chop with it as well.
well.
Oh, wow.
That's probably cheating because you're just turning it into a pseudo knife.
And also, you've got to put the thing in your mouth as well.
It's probably not a good idea.
Yeah.
I'm ready to lock in my answer.
Yeah.
Likewise.
I am keeping the fork.
Why?
Why?
What do you mean why?
It's the biggest incorrect answer.
No.
The knife is the biggest incorrect answer.
Well, maybe.
But my point is that, like, a fork.
There are things that a fork can't do
That a spoon can do
And there are fewer things that a fork can do
That a spoon can't do
I think spoon overtakes fork every time
Even though I never use one
Okay well respectfully I disagree
I think that I can
And have used for several meals
Where a knife would probably be useful
Just by flipping the fork on its side
And applying pressure
To have big bits of food in
half. No, that's fine. I don't use, excuse me, I don't use spoons, really. And the idea of getting
rid of spoons and forks and just having a knife is that's scary. I don't want that. Yeah,
you definitely don't just keep the knife and you can definitely chop stuff with the side of a fork
or a spoon. So I think it comes down to keeping a fork or a spoon. And I think you can't
eat liquid with a fork, whereas you can eat solid with a spoon. But then you could just drink
liquids. You just changed the way
you eat and you suits. You could just sit in the bowl.
Yeah. But
I'm again, I'm
erring on the side of spoon just because it is
there's a well round, it's an all rounder.
You know, it can do a bit of everything. I think so.
Spork is probably the correct answer.
True, true. But what if you
don't live in an ideal world? What if you cut
you know, little
fork bits into your spoon, maybe? Or just
serrated the edge of your, one of the edges of your
fork. So you cut your mouth open
every time you used it, you know?
You keep your bastardised utensils to yourself.
I'm using a straight old, good old fashion spoon.
Dang it.
All right.
I'm using a fork.
I'm going to start with my food.
Okay.
That's nice.
Thank you, boys, for debating such a hot topic at the minute.
I think it'll come in very handy, just like our Google abuse.
Yes.
And on that note, who would like to present their thing?
Oh, I've got some breaking poos.
This isn't actually breaking poos
because I could have brought this last week
or last episode and I didn't
because it didn't sound true
but I'd only seen it on like Unilad or something
and I've since seen it in various places
admittedly the source that I've got today
of all the sources is probably not the most reliable
but I have seen it in multiple places
so I think this is seemingly a true story
or it's as true as it can be
so this is according to the sun
I'm afraid.
Or the scum, if you want to call it that.

Okay, here's the headline.
Rock and Lou Roll.
It's the little song joke.
Oh, I get it. I get it.
I don't. Can you explain it?
No.
Here's the headline.
W.W.E. Stars put poo in the rock
in the Rock
Dwayne Johnson's
they've said
DWE stars
put poo
in the Rock
Dwayne Johnson's
lunch box
and warned him
not to leave food
in locker room
what
I assume this is a
very old story
oh yeah
I mean it's got to be
I think it's
it's only just come to light
I'm not right
the best part about that
is calling him
the rock
Dwayne Johnson
as he's well known
So Dwayne the Rock Johnson was the victim of a disgusting prank in his wrestling heyday
according to now AEW favourite Mark Henry
The Star's lunchbox was allegedly smeared with poo
It says in bold and capitals
Pooh by his rivals in an attempt to break the rising stars confidence
There's then some stock images of the Rock
It's a biohazard not just a shock to the confidence
Yeah
Speaking on the busted open radio
The world's strongest man, Henry, said
Me and the Rock, we always had our locker right next to each other.
I came in and saw people laughing and giggling and running away from where our lockers were.
I saw his box was open, I grabbed the box and was going to close it
and I looked in it and there was shit in it.
Somebody's shit in his food box.
So, of course, I had to dispose of this and tell him,
Hey man, don't leave your food in here.
They were envious of us new guys coming in.
Johnson, who was part of the Nation of Domination faction alongside Henry,
enjoyed a stellar WWE career after joining the wrestling company in 1996.
The Rock as he was known as was one of the biggest stars in Vince McMahon's company
until he left in 2004 to pursue a career in acting.
I think it then just talks
in absolute filler terms
about the rock
how much he's worth
yeah the rock
Dwayne Johnson
who he's for in the past
he's gone through an incredible
body transformation
since his wrestling career
began 30 years ago
when he was just a skinny teen
and that's actually
the end of the article
but I couldn't not bring that story
along to Pottietz
a worldie of a story
holy hell
Dwayne Johnson
Of all the people to put poo in their lunchbox
You would not do that to well
I guess unless you're a pro wrestler
In which case you're probably a bit less frightened
But imagine one of us
Putting shit in the Rock's lunchbox
I never understood people who use poo as a prank
It's just absurd
There's a lot of that stuff in wrestling
There's lots of stories of this
People pooing in kit bags and stuff like that
Just don't really
And it's not a prank
Like, it's definitely hazing and bullying.
Yeah.
But that's exactly, it's the, yeah, it's the established guys just picking on the young guys to make them pay their dues or some bullshit like that.
See, I know that that happens a lot that just generally that, you know, they do pick on each other and haze each other and, you know, make you earn your keep and earn your place.
But I didn't know that poo was necessarily a common theme.
Thankfully, not often.
I don't think that happens anymore.
But who knows?
We might find out about that in 30 years' time.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
I've had some painful breaking poos.
God, I hope the Rock's doing okay.
He's doing all right.
The Rock Doyne Johnson will probably be okay.
What's the name of his energy drink again?
Do you remember?
Oh, it's got a Zed in it, I think.
Zowa.
Zoa energy drink?
Oh, my God.
Yeah. Oh, man.
And, yeah, one in a million cans includes a little.
plop, just as playing back.
Yeah, a bit of Dwayne's plop.
Dwayne the plop Johnson.
Dwayne the plop Johnson's shit,
it's got to be radioactive at this point, right?
What is in that guy's system?
I bet his shit could beat the crap
out of you. Like, it's going to be absolutely
ripped. He's got abs.
Yeah. That shit's got abs.
I don't think he
even goes to the bathroom anymore. He's
at the peak of his physical ability that
his body uses every nutrient it can.
It just absorbs all of it and gets bigger.
Has a busy man like him supposed to have time to sit in and talk for five minutes?
No way.
My body take care of it, thank you.
That's why he drinks so much energy drinks.
They just, you know, slipped right through.
There is no fucking way.
He touches any of that energy drink.
No.
Oh, dear.
Well, thank you very much, Peter for yet more.
Exciting.
Poo news.
You welcome.
Poo's.
Would you boys like a question?
Yes, please.
This one's from Chris Law at this, my twit name on Twitter.
Very good.
Good.
This is.
According to my Google search, there are 160 English dialects.
What are some of the favorites, some of your favorites, or ones that you can do?
Oh, God.
Without it.
I mean, this is going to be a couple of minutes of terrible impressions, but I mean, it's dialects and then there's, like, there's access.
as dialects like dialects is like you know weird words and stuff i uh i've been saying a phrase
this week um the past couple of weeks that i forget is not a well-known phrase i've been saying
to the odd person oh it's cracking the flags which means it's really hot so and it means not
flags as in on a flagpole but like flagstones flagstone floor from probably the victorian times right
It's a northern phrase, and it means it's so hot that the flagstones on the floor of your kitchen, or in your garden, I guess, probably not even in interior, but like your garden flagstones are cracking open.
My mum says it all the time.
It's cracking the flags.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
I'll admit I went into this not fully understanding what the word dialect meant.
Back to square on.
They are baddies from Doctor Who, isn't it?
Yeah, that's right.
I mean, accent comes into it for sure, but it's also about the kind of the lingo, isn't it?
I learned a word recently that apparently my girlfriend was absolutely horrified that I didn't know.
Are you guys familiar with the word plodge, to plodge?
No.
No?
Wait, is that involved water?
Yes, it does, Michael.
What does it mean, though?
Can you tell me?
Because I know what it means, but, you know.
like go in shallow water and run around in very shallow water and make your feet go ploddodge
is the word yeah to have a paddle apparently plodge plodge she said oh let's go for a plodge
and I was like what the fuck are you talking about there's a perfectly good toilet inside I'm not
plodging in the sea thank you no plodge is apparently a word that I should know but I had never
heard of before I think my man must be a northeast thing right yeah sure you're trying to
go for a plodge and some monkey's blood.
No, what?
So much strawberry sauce.
Monty's blood, yeah.
God, I forget that that's the thing.
Keith Allen.
Keith's rip.
Everyone has a dialect, I think, exclusive to their families as well.
Just like a word.
Like everyone has a word for the remote control.
My dad always called it the chunker.
The chunker.
The chunker.
The chunker.
Can you pass me the chumker?
I've heard people call it.
the clicker before um we don't call it that but yeah i think my sister used to call it the dofer
yeah dofa's a good one i've heard dufer before oh really debris as well
do debris is a good one i think dubri is also a word that just means like you know thing thing
thingy thingy you know when you don't know what it is yeah what's it can't think of the word
oh pass me the whiz was that doobri yeah thingy uh english is a made-up language at this point
it is bullshit but the thing is the intent is there and as long as you understand the intent you
know exactly what they mean if you know what the context is then it's fine uh in my family
we also call um boiled eggs you know like dippy eggs with with uh toast soldiers and stuff
ergy eggs ergy eggs because the yoke is like it's all ergy isn't it when you look
like look at that that's ergy isn't it oh delicious ergy eggs we sometimes have i mean this
this one is kind of self-explanatory.
It's not, it's not so esoteric.
But if we eat a big meal at lunchtime, say we're, like, out on the weekend and we,
you know, we'll go to a pub and have big pub lunch lunch lunch, when you come home,
you have a lunch, you might have a lunch tea.
A lunch tea.
A lunch tea is what.
Oh, there's small tea.
It's when you just have, like, in the evening, you would have what you might have for lunch.
So you might have a sandwich, or you might have a bit of, like, toast, just like, slice of toast.
that's a lunch tea.
That's good.
In the evening.
Oh, that's glorious.
My sister came up with that when she was about six.
Like, we came home, we've been out for the day with some family or something.
And she's like, are we having like a lunch tea tonight?
And it's just stuck since then.
Yeah, that makes perfect sense.
We have pick and choose lunch sometimes.
Oh, yeah.
Just pick and choose, all one word.
Which is when my mum used to work mornings on, or she used to work during the day on Saturdays.
And so my dad would always take us into town.
We'd rent a VHS from the library or something, and then go to the big Tesco, which is always exciting, and then come back with, like, a baguette and some ham and what else, you know, cheese and cherry tomatoes and all that kind of shit, and you put it out on the table, maybe some hummus, right?
And then you have a pick and choose lunch, and you just, it's like a self, just a little self-serve of lunch tea.
Bring in the deli count of all.
When my mom is serving multiple people for like a big evening meal, like a big dinner,
sometimes rather than do a plate full of like, you know, like portioned out stuff for everyone,
what she'll do is she'll like get a load of big like serving dishes of like various things.
So they'll be like, you know, little like slices of keesh and little like, you know,
here's some like cold ham.
And so it's like pick and choose, but it's more dinner stuff.
Might all be warm.
And that's a picky tea.
Oh, a picky tea. That's good, so you can come and just pick at it.
Yeah.
That makes total sense. It all makes contextual sense.
But if you said, do you fancy a picky tea tonight? I'd be like, excuse me what?
Hello?
I know we've completely pivoted the conversation away from the actual question, but I do, I am enjoying this.
Oh, yes.
Have you got family, dialect-y words, Mikey?
I'm trying to think. It's all very jordy, so it's already pretty bastardized away from normal English.
English, I think. My dad used to ask, I think he used to say it in Jess, just to confuse me,
but used to pick up a pair of keys and go, we's keys are these keys like?
Love that.
Yeah, I think that's like a Millsborough thing for whose keys are these?
We's keys are these keys like?
It's very good. It's very sing-songy.
Yeah, it's good. I love it.
My dad grew up in Scotland, and a term that he used all the time that I have now picked up and
forget is like a really
Glaswegian word is when
you're serving out something that's not like
particularly solid or particularly liquid
so if you've got like
ice cream or like
maybe Lazagna or something
if
someone offers it to him
like oh do you want some ice cream
with yours he'll say
yeah I might have a wee dod
a dod a dodd
a dod is like a
you know a kind of arbitrary
measurement of...
A serving of sludge.
Yeah, but it's on a spoon, I think.
It's a dod. It's like a...
Oh, that's good.
I guess it's the noise it makes when it lands on your plate.
Dodd.
Oh, the dodd of that.
That's good.
We used to have different names for the two towns.
We lived by Sunderland and South Shields,
and my dad used to call them both.
I can never figure out which one was which.
Either I'm gan, doon, tune, or I'm going upstreet.
and that would mean a certain one
but I never quite understood which one was which
could mean anything
I'm Gandoon Street son
When I was about five I used to go to two different
Well I guess I was maybe three or four actually
Because I used to go to two different play groups
So like before I was at school
I would go to play group during the day
And there were they weren't all
The two of them weren't open five days a week
So you had to go to one or the other
And one was like up a hill
and one was down in the village
and I used to say to my mum
and ask her whether we were going to
up the play group or down the playgroup
I don't know where the word
the came into.
If I just said up playgroup or downplay
but it was no
are we going to up the play group
today?
She said no no no
we're going to down the play group.
That's cute.
I like that.
I think we've given a world winter
of little bits of dialect
but I think that
I'd service the question
I hope you're happy with that pretty slow.
That was good like that.
Yeah, good fun.
Yeah, I should try and think of some more weird things my family say
because I'm sure there's a bounty of them.
I would like to do my thing if that's all right.
Go on for it.
Yeah.
In 1903 in a cheery local tavern
tucked away in Wells River, Vermont,
one of America's most successful fat men's clubs was launched.
Fat men's clubs.
So today we're going to, it's going for a blast to the past of body positivity, I think.
I found out about the easy of the week.
I thought it was quite a comical little thing.
I've got a little bit of backstory in history on fat clubs.
We're fat and we're making the most of it, was their mantra.
I've got to be good-natured.
I can't fight and I can't run, was their motto.
All right.
Members had to be at least £200 in weight and pay a $1.1.
fee to enter and learn a secret handshake and password. It sounds very exciting. I tried to find a
secret handshake or passport, but I don't think there's any record of that. They took that to the
graves. Twice a year, members gathered with meetings announced in advance to allow the men to stuff up
in order to meet the minimum weight requirement. In 1904, Boston Globe article described their
biannual meetings colorfully. They said, this village is full of bulbous and overhanging abdomens
and double chins tonight for the New England Fat Men's Club
is in session at Hales Tavern.
I feel like you're doing this like an all-timey radio accent.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
No, I can't do it.
I always do my trying accent.
I get one syllable out and it just falls apart.
Oh, bud.
Oh, God, guys, can I just interrupt for one moment?
Richard Major has changed the Yogs cast studios
to Podiat's Presents Yog Towers.
No.
No.
Where?
No.
In Queen Square
It's on the thread
Oh god
It's not changed for me yet
But that's I don't doubt that that's happened
Hang on, go to maps
And then
Sorry
I was just checking the thread while you were
Yeah the only thing that pops up is
Poddiot's Gregg's meet Clayton Street
Which is the name that has clearly changed
But still shows up as Podiat
Okay well
Maybe it's a screenshot
But maybe it won't stick hopefully
I can never show
my face in that office again.
No.
So what's it called?
What's it called?
What's it presents Yogg Towers?
So if I Google Yog Towers, is it going to...
Yeah, it does say on Google results, to be fair.
It probably doesn't say on Google Maps, but it definitely says here.
Oh, Christ.
What have you done?
What have you done?
No, it says it on Google Maps, too.
Okay.
It says Yog Towers on the little red thing,
But then when you click on it, it says Poddy, it presents Yogtowers.
There's a nice photo of a rental van out the front of it.
Cute.
Nice.
Should I be able to photo of Dave Benton Phillips in a bull pit?
Absolutely not.
I think we should.
Okay.
I'll do that.
I'll do that now.
Do carry on, Michael.
Yeah, Mikey, tell us about Fat Club.
So I want to know all about this.
The natives, who are mostly bony and angular, have stared with envy at the portly forms
and rubicund faces.
which have arrived on every train.
It's quite the sight to see
a train loads of people coming in
to visit the Fat Club.
The Fat Men's Clubs of the late 19th and early 20th centuries
were spectacular celebrations
of the wealth and chubbiness of a bygone era.
At once, sociological curiosity
and anthropological artefact,
these clubs were a vestige
of perhaps the last time society found copulence
to be worthy of celebration.
Wains were a competitive event,
A New York Times article from 1885 describes the crestfallen reaction of a member of a Connecticut fat men's club upon stepping on the scale.
And they said, I must weigh over £300 now, George Nat boasted.
Alas, he came in at a disappointing 243.
And as the Times reported, his friends thought he shrank at least £20 more from grief before the evening ended.
Oh, no.
Bless him, he tried so hard.
That's really sad.
Darrell Lee were the historian at the UK Swansea at the UK's Swansea University says that fat men's clubs weren't just an east-course phenomenon. Nevada, Utah and Tennessee boasted versions as well. And he says the clubs weren't just venues to celebrate the joys of eating without concern and brag about one's girth. Good sentence. They were essentially networking events. Memphis's fat men's baseball club had a reception committee replete with judges, ministers and a rabbi, he says. Populist
Democrat, William Jennings, Brian,
traveled to a fat men's club in Concord,
Massachusetts to drum up
support for one of his presidential runs,
Lee Worthy says. So, weirdly,
it seems it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,
it's a powerful club, it's not just, you know,
big men get together, this is people,
yes, people who rule the world.
So what did one do at a fat men's
club gathering? Well,
eat, of course,
yeah, quite a lot. And at its
peak, the new members, uh, new,
the new England fat men's club,
had 10,000 members, which is actually quite insane for one state to have that many.
Not fat people.
I mean, just people who bothered to sign up.
Yeah, that's a lot of dollars.
That's like $10,000.
Yeah.
And now money, that's like a bazillion dollars.
That's so much money.
That's true.
The men would cram huge breakfast into their bellies, then stumble outside and work up
a sweat in a friendly Olympic-style competition, showcasing strength and virility.
leap frog contests, broad jumps and races
all part of the day
the exertion also served a jumpstart appetite
for the indulgent dinner spread
that awaited members at sundown
it was a ridiculous amount of food
and I feel like
Ben could you do me the honours
and read this in your best Brian Butterfield
Oh
This is a menu
One nine course menu
Included
Oyster cocktail
Cream of chicken soup
Boiled Snapper
fillet of beef with mushrooms
roast chicken
roast suckling pig
shrimp salad
steamed fruit pudding with brandy sauce
assorted cakes
cheese and ice cream
followed by coffee
and cigars
cheese and ice cream
no I think that's assorted cakes
cheese and ice cream
I need an Oxford comment
cheese and just a dodd though of ice cream
yeah I have a wee dodd of that
just helps brighten up the cheese a bit
I need a plodge after that
even at the height of chubby chic being grossly morbidly obese was never celebrated as a sign of beauty and wealth
explains peter sterns a professor of history at george mason university and author of fat history
he notes that while having wide hips author of fat history
i'm not interested in that now am i going to put out of that later he notes that while having
wide hips and some girth was considered attractive for a woman indicating her
prosperity and fertility, quote-unquote, fat ladies were often mocked and included as a freak show
elements in travelling circuses. Fat men weren't similarly lampooned, though they two faced
ridicule. Tafrate's article mentions a child exclaiming, gee, look at that stomach. Let's get under
it and keep out of the rain. You can kind of picture like an early 1900s newspaper boy.
Gee, look at that stomach. Let's get under and keep out of the rain, guys. Gee whiz.
Golly.
Sorry, I've lost where I am.
I'm just amazed at the prospect these units had.
The club, the resilience, the fortitude.
I would have loved to have gone to just one of these dinners.
There might still exist.
It might be a thing.
I'll have a look.
Meet with the powerful men of all over the land.
Well, they called Fat Club.
Fat men's clubs, literally.
It might be more fat fighters now than anything.
There might still be out there.
Fat men's clubs were not uniquely American though
They were more popular here than elsewhere
Sorry, boy, I budgeted that sense
Fat men's club were not a uniquely American phenomenon
Though they were more popular here than elsewhere
There we go, that makes sense
Lee Worthy ads, there was a French version
Les Senskilos
Oh, Lescentz kilo, I guess, is just how it's pronounced
Or the 100 kilos
And they formed in 1897
But it didn't quite take off sadly
The Serbian capital of Belgrade
created a version in 1932
and he says
Britain's version of the club
had a twist
members who didn't meet
the weight requirement
had to pay a fine
which was then donated
onto charity
which is kind of fun
throughout history
they've been wavering
I'm going to skip that
but I just want to get
to the hard details
essentially as times changed
and the Industrial Revolution
took place
people generally tend to get
skinny and skinnier
and so there's less people
working
less people to be part
of these clubs
and as the industrial revolution began to change to where we worked and ate,
views about fat and health also began to shift.
An increasing number of people had jobs that weren't physically demanding,
Stern's notes, and the advent of modern agricultural methods made food supply more reliable.
I'm saying the opposite here, then yeah, the abundance of food made it less special, I guess.
For the bulk of middle class, the pendulum began to swing, he says.
In other words, people were expending less energy and were more confident about getting a meal.
In some ways, fat men's clubs were.
a last hurrah for celebrations of copulence, as Stern's rights and fat history, in general,
in a trend that began around 1910, doctors and insurance actuaries began to push preferably
the preferability of being underweight or a normal, quote-unquote, normal weight in terms
of health and longevity. And being, and that kind of, around that time marked the slow dwindling
of fat clubs. And I think one last one statue held a meeting was a New England fat men's
club in 1924 and only from a peak of 10,000 members, only 38 members showed up and not one of them
met the 200 pound mark. Oh, no. Wow. Like that. Fat clubs wiped out. That's sad. I've had a
Google. It does now say Google wants to know your location because I did search fat clubs near me.
it's suggested fat hippo
which is obviously a burger restaurant
in Newcastle
every single result
is talking in the past tense
like it's
collating various
fat clubs around the world
there was one in Paris
called
les 100 kilos de Paris
which I think means
the 100 kilos of Paris
yeah that's the one
it's not
it's not suggested
Greg's Podie
it's meat facery.
It hasn't,
but we can do it.
Fat men's clubs.
I just had a quick click
on the Wikipedia article
and at the end
it marks,
the advent of the bathroom scale
also contributed to the decline
of fat men's clubs
as weight measurement
transition from being a public spectacle
to an exercise that was carried out
in the privacy of one's home.
Aw.
There's literally just more
in some cases just to come here
and get win, that's it
and have a nice meal while you're at it.
What about
This is probably the closest
We have in Newcastle Peter
Men's Pie Club
They're about local guys making pies
They bring local men together to make, cook
And eat pies in Newcastle upon time
The clubs are free to attend
They've operated by Simon Miller apparently
And they operate a drop-in policy
So feel free to go along
Whenever you like
The club meets in several different venues
The Poddiots presents
Usburn Community Centre
yeah food nation a new car food nation a newcastle based social enterprise supports men's pies clubs men's pie clubs oh he's got a website
i'm uh i'm having pie for my tea tonight and i'm now really hungry and looking forward to when
this podcast is done do you want to go to the pie club with me peter look at this man oh there he is
men's pie club that's an excellent mustache as well yeah it's like a strong pie
brush on his mouth.
Yeah.
But it's positive.
It is positive and some of them are going to be involved.
Pie Club opens once a week for guys in various locations in the North East.
It's all about tackling social isolation and improving mental health.
It's for guys who live alone or feel alone or just need an excuse to get out more.
There's no stress and no pressure just a bit of cooking and pie.
Hey, that sounds spectacular.
That is a very honourable and delicious sounding club.
That's nice, isn't it?
It is.
Yeah.
I'm sorry that I initially was a bit jovial about the, what am I trying to say, the intent of men's pie club.
That's okay. You didn't mock it.
I didn't.
No.
I just said, but it might be the closest to the fat club that we have.
Well, yeah.
But that was purely at face value and I learned my lesson.
I shouldn't have judged a book by its cover and I'm glad I looked into him more and I learned the facts.
Yeah.
Hey, it's carrying on the camaraderie and jovialness of fat.
Yeah, exactly.
They want you to be happy and, you know, have a good time.
Precisely, precisely.
Exactly.
Well, thank you for your thing, Mikey.
That was really interesting.
You're very welcome.
Yeah.
Would you boys like a question?
Yes, please.
This one is from...
Oh, how do I pronounce that?
Christy?
Christy.
It's not even a hard name.
It's just...
I was trying with...
I was waiting for a really difficult surname after Christy.
I've never heard that before.
Anyway, sorry, Christy.
Christy, oh, God, Simonette.
Oh, well, there you go.
Yeah, that's a bit harder.
Simonet.
Simonet, Simonet, just KS, I'll call them,
at KS Simonet on Twitter.
It asks,
You're about to die in a real-life movie cliche
of sacrifice yourself to save the world.
And your final moments will be broadcast
for the entire world to hear.
What do you think your last words will be?
Something meaningful, something inspiring, or a personal message to a loved one.
Or maybe it's just a bit of vandalism for your last mark on earth.
What about Podiat's Presents, Ben's death?
Yay, cute.
I think you've got to go out on a quip, right?
If you're, it depends entirely on, like, to what extent, in what way I'm dying.
So, if I'm, you know, I don't know, if I'm taking a bullet, say I've been launched into space, right?
Yeah.
An alien nuke.
I don't know why they had to launch me, but they had to launch me so that it would maybe...
There's only one man.
Okay, here's the story, right?
An alien nuke is being fired at the planet.
it, it will only, it's the only way of detonating it before it hits Earth is sending a human
being up there because it's got a human detector on it and it will only blow up when it interacts
with humans because they want it to blow up when it lands on Earth, you see. So it's,
it's got a thing on it that when it detects humans, it detonates. So they've got to launch someone
up there so that it blows up in space. He launched me. Fab. And I do some kind of nuke-related
quip.
So as I'm flying towards it, I go, uh, um...
What if you say, actually, it's pronounced nuclear and then you die?
That's probably what I would say, yeah.
Talk about clean energy, something like that.
Mm-hmm.
I, hmm.
There's a quip that I, not a quip, but there's a joke I say a lot of the time.
I think I've even talked about this on Pottier's.
It's not remotely relevant to this situation,
but I think I would just, as my last opportunity,
I would just say it completely out of context.
So what I do is when we walk into restaurants
and it's really quiet,
I always turn to Amy and go,
I'm glad we booked a table.
And that's what I would do.
As I'm hurtling towards.
Just a nonsense.
It goes, what?
This space nuke, I would look down the camera
that they've attached to my shoulder and go,
I'm glad we booked a table
and that's it
there's my last words
humanity
yeah
that's great
I like that one
I would probably go similar
but it would just sort of be
I would affect
a sort of stereotypical
mildly offensive
Italian American accent
and just say
I guess you could say
I'm about to sleep with the fishes
and then die
regardless of the context
in a non-water related
it doesn't
The less close I am to water, or far, I suppose you could say, the better.
Some kind of desert-related apocalypse is subversed.
Yeah, but then it would almost be ironic, wouldn't it?
Yeah, I think I'd rather it just maybe in space as well.
Yeah.
I guess you could say, I'm about to sleep with the fish.
And I'd die and the world goes, what the fuck was he?
What was that?
That was weird, isn't it?
What was that about?
I think I want to, in my active heroism, I want to leave behind a mystery as I leave as well.
Oh.
I think final.
thing I say just out loud scream to the world it's hidden beneath blobby world or blobby land
I want this to be like a national hunt national treasure kind of hunt for whatever the hell
is hidden beneath mr blobby's house at blobby land yeah in crinkly bottom that's what it's
called crinkly bottom and start of a world wild worldwide manhunt and dig to find what it is
fantastic maybe I'll actually put something down there before I before I kick the bucket to have a
payoff, a very
underwhelming one.
Like a little party,
a Christmas cracker
with a little
crappy plastic ring
in it.
One of those birthday
cards that has a
recorded message in it
and when they open the card
it goes,
well I guess you could say
I'm about to
sleep with the fishes.
Perfect.
I think we do.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's great.
Smashed it.
All right,
well, give us our time to shine.
We'll save the world
and give you a hell of a quip at the end.
Yeah, absolutely.
If I'm going to die,
then yeah,
out in a weird way, I think.
Yeah.
I'm saving the world.
Damn right.
Yeah.
Would you guys like to hear my thing?
Yes, please.
Oh, yes, please.
And so I saw this tweet a little while ago.
You probably saw it too.
It's from a Twitter account called Weird Medieval Guys.
Right.
And the tweet is as follows.
In the early 15th century, Edward, second Duke of York, wrote a list of 1,126 names he considered to be suitable for dogs.
Brilliant.
Highlights from the list include
nosewise
garlic with a K
Pretiman
which I assume is Prittiman
but with one T
Gaylard
Norman
and Filth
with an E on the end
So that's what
Edward thought
was an appropriate name for the dogs
Now I thought there would be some mileage
perhaps in looking up
more of these
trying to find out
I couldn't find it
but I did find an article on
RK form.de
about names
that famous
individuals in the
Middle Ages or medieval times
names that were given to dogs and cats
so I've got some examples of famous
dogs and cats
and it ends on a little poem
about a cat that someone had
so here we go
we're talking about dogs now
people in the middle ages did keep pets
dogs cats birds, birds, monkeys
and many other kinds of animals
although they often had particular duties
i.e. hunting or catching rats, there are many accounts that showed affection and love between these
pets and their owners. Scattered in various texts and remains from the Middle Ages,
and the research by Kathleen Walker Mekyll, maybe, has uncovered several examples of medieval
pet names. In England, we find dogs that were named Sturdy, Whitefoot, Hardy, Jack, with two
Ks and an E on the end, Bo and Terry. And Berlin, one of the wives of King Henry the 8, had a dog named
percoy who got its name from the French
Porcois because it was very inquisitive
Geoffrey
Schausse
Shosa not sure
Oh Chaucer
Sorry
Chaucer
Chaucer
Okay I was trying to be clever with it
Geoffrey Chaucer's The Nuns Priest'sale
has a line where they named three dogs
Cole, Talbot and Girland
Meanwhile in the early 15th century
Edward Duke of York wrote
the Master of Game, which explains how dogs are to be used in hunting and taking care of.
He also included a list of 1,100 names that he thought would be appropriate for hunting dogs.
They include Troy, nose-wise, amiable, nameless, clench, bragg, ringwood, and holdfast.
I like nose-wise.
I like nameless.
Well, yeah, nameless is interesting.
It's nameless with 1-S, so it's technically.
name les
right
meanwhile in
Switzerland a list
of 80 dogs
that took part
in a shooting festival
in the year
1504 has
been preserved
they reveal
the most popular
name was
first
which means
prince
other names
included Venus
Fortuna
and
Turgk
with a G
in between
the R and the K
some dogs
got their names
from the work
being done by
their owners
Hemmerly
Little Hammer
belonged to
a locksmith
while
spichli
little spoke
belonged to a wagner
The 14th century
French knight
Jehan de Seur
had a hound named
Parcival
while his wife
had diamond
Leon Batista Alberti
the Renaissance philosopher
said his dog
was sired by
Megastomo
Big mouth
Ludovico also got it
hang on I've skipped ahead there
Ludovico
the third Gonzaga
ruler of the city of
Manchur
from 1444 to 1478, has at least two dogs.
Rubino and Bellina.
When Rubino died, Ludovico ordered that he'd be buried in a casket
and that he would make sure that the animal would also get a tombstone.
Isabella, Desd, a famous Italian lady and also a ruler of Mantua,
was known to have many little dogs, two of which were named Oro and Mamia, Mamia, maybe.
And finally, there is also the story of
Guinephor, the saint dog.
In the 13th century, Stephen de Bourbon explains that the peasants near the French city
of Lyon were saying prayers at the grave of a dog named Guinephor, and reporting that he
was doing miracles, especially for infants.
So, there's some famous dog names from 500 or so years ago, and we've also got some cats
now.
So, in medieval England, domestic cats were known as Gib or Gibb, the short form of of
Gilbert it says and that name was also popular for individual pet cats so apparently cats were
colloquially known as Gibbs gilbert's apparently because i remember reading once about uh someone who
was tried as a witch and she uh said that her her familiar who was uh took the form of a cat
even though it was you know satan uh taking the form of a cat she said his name was gib and i never
realized that that's like a common thing i thought that was just specifically
that cat
But
Hey well there we are
Gilbert
Meanwhile in France
They were called
Tybers or Tiber
Or Tiber
With a T
S or T
was generic name
To domestic cats in France
Tibut
I'm just going to say it that way
The cat was one of the characters
In the Renard
The Fox Animal Fables
You know those people
He's the prince of cats
Tebber
Yeah
There's all
There's like a cockerel
He's called
Chontic
clear or something.
There's a wolf called
Easton Grimm.
I know, I've heard of
Raynard. I've not read any of them, but
yeah, it's like famous...
I thought you might be aware.
Famous kind of fables, I think,
from popular in France.
Okay.
Other names for cats included
might, which is probably not how that's pronounced,
who prowled around
Beaulieu Abbey in the 13th century
and below
a grey cat belonging to
bloody hell.
Yohim dubley in the 16th century.
Isabella Dest also owned a cat named Martino, full stop.
Old Irish legal texts refer to several individual cats and names them.
Oh, God.
Meone, which means little meow.
Cruibni, I'm so sorry to any Italian speakers listening, which means little paws.
Brien, which means little flame, and it says perhaps an orange.
orange cat and
Glasnenta
nettle grey
And finally
An Irish poem
From the 9th century
describes how a monk
owned a cat
named Pangurban
Which I'm definitely
mispronouncing
Which meant
Fuller White
The poem begins
I and Pangaban
My cat
Tis a like task
We are at
Hunting mice is his delight
Hunting words
I sit all night
Oh
Oh very
Yeah
A ninth century poem
about a pet cat so people have had pet animals obviously for a very long time but clearly they
were just as attached to them then as we are now and they gave them all sorts of fun little names
so yeah i didn't expect there'd be so many smart little names like the cat who was inquisitive
got like a pun on the french word for it and belins or per koi the dog per koi that's it
yeah you think if they just own them as a you know to catch mice it's a very much a functional
thing, it's a tool. And you could just as easily call it the cat. You know, like, you don't need
a name to be able to refer to it. So if, you know, like you say, they're clearly attached to them,
they actually care. It's not just, oh yes, we must get a cat or, you know, have you put water
out for the cat, which we have. Gilbert. Yeah, Gibb, purely to, which exists purely to kill
mice. No, it's got a name. We care. We do. We all care.
So there we are. That sent me down a little rabbit hole there.
But I hope we've all learned something about medieval animal names for dogs and cats specifically.
But that is my thing.
Love it.
Nice.
Thank you.
Very cute.
Would you boys like a final question to end on?
Yes.
This one's from Jared at Like a Glove 90 on Twitter.
And they say,
I just remembered The Black Knight with Martin Lawrence existed.
if you were thrown back in time
let's say beyond 100 years
and could bring one piece of modern technology
to prove you're a time traveller
what would you bring
and how would you convince the world
how far back are we going
let's say 300 years
that feels like a solid number
okay so
about 1700s
early 1700 so
basically pre-industrial revolution
there was some early stuff going on
but the train essentially
didn't exist.
The plane definitely didn't.
Fat men's clubs hadn't come to existence yet.
For some reason, my brain instantly went to, like, you know, there's toys that you
draw spirals with.
You put like his paper and you spin it in.
Spirograph or whatever.
Yeah.
I thought that'd be really impressive, but they probably's had those for quite a while,
didn't they?
That's not exactly a very modern thing.
Yeah.
they would find it interesting for sure
it wouldn't do any good to take your phone back
because you know you'd run out of charge
and a lot of it wouldn't work because you wouldn't have internet access
I know you'd still be able to just show them
even just the notion of getting a phone out
and having it scroll through
anything that you can get working without internet
would be probably pretty mind-blowing
that you've got this sort of shiny stone
that can like scroll images across it
but it wouldn't last long
you'd have to make sure you get to
someone important and show it to them.
So I'd probably prefer something that doesn't take power.
But what's the most interesting, modern, witchcrafty-looking thing
that doesn't need electricity in it?
If you want to go really basic, you could take a lighter.
Yeah, yeah, that would be...
Because you can operate it and explain it in a sense.
Yeah.
And you also have plastic in it, which would also be completely alien to them.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Oh, I had something.
What was it?
It's going to be really stupid as well.
It's not going to be worth it.
I take, I'm going to go chaos mode when I'm there.
I'm going to take a Polaroid camera, like a bag full of double A batteries to power it for
at least a couple of months and a bag full of Polaroid film.
And I'm going to go around and just use it as a weapon and use it to threaten people.
Say it, right, I've got your soul now in this picture.
You better do what I say
Make me king
Or else I destroy it and so do you
You'll be murdered in the night
You could very easily be up
You'd be murdered in the night
Yes I would
But at least I think
For maybe half an hour
I'd have a good stretch
Of being just absolutely king
But yeah
I feel like it wouldn't take long
For someone to just disprove that
And then instantly
Looks like I'm gonna be sleeping with the fishes
Taking something battery powered
Is a good idea though
Like yeah
That solves my issue
Of running out of electricity
Within a day
Or one of those torches that you wind up, maybe.
Yeah, yeah.
That way you wouldn't have to worry about battery either.
True, true.
I'm not sure how interesting that is in the world that has harnessed fire, though.
I think you've got to go an extra mile.
What, electric light?
I guess, no, it is pretty handy now I think about it.
Yeah, it's everlasting, just a little bit of a twirl.
Maybe.
A little starlophone could be good, like one of those little keyboards.
Oh yeah
He's a musical witch
He's making sound from nothing
You could really change history
Even even going only 300 years back
You could introduce something there
That would function perfectly well
In that era
And wouldn't be reliant on batteries
Like if you introduced the typewriter
Or apparently the printing press
Was like a huge revolution
In I think that was earlier than 1700s
it's like earlier than you think and it doesn't sound like it's not a very exciting invention
by modern standards because we don't use the printing press anymore.
Obviously we have things that have stemmed from it.
We've got printers, but we don't think of the press anymore.
But yeah, I'm sure there are a lot of references to how that was like a revolution as an invention.
And if you could just take something from like, if you took a typewriter to the 1700,
that's taking it back by like a hundred years and that alone would probably change the future
in some way yeah yeah i like that spreading spreading information and knowledge to the masses
rather than me trying to overtake a small town and get ridded on the way one of those calculators
that has the little solar panel on the top oh yeah yeah and you can show me you can write boobs on
yeah yeah and i'll explain what 420 means oh yeah just
huge huge huge
I think we've thoroughly stumped some
some old-timers hit not all-timey people
people from the past
