Starting point is 00:00:00 Pickax During the Volvo Fall Experience event, discover exceptional offers and thoughtful design that leaves plenty of room for autumn adventures. And see for yourself how Volvo's legendary safety brings peace of mind to every crisp morning commute. This September, lease a 2026 XC90 plug-in hybrid from $599 bi-weekly at 3.99% during the Volvo Fall experience
Starting point is 00:00:30 event. Conditions supply, visit your local Volvo retailer or go to explorevolvo.com. 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
Starting point is 00:01:18 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
Starting point is 00:02:00 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.
Starting point is 00:02:17 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.
Starting point is 00:02:38 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.
Starting point is 00:03:06 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.
Starting point is 00:03:27 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
Starting point is 00:03:54 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
Starting point is 00:04:08 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.
Starting point is 00:04:24 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.
Starting point is 00:04:40 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.
Starting point is 00:05:03 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
Starting point is 00:05:21 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
Starting point is 00:05:40 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.
Starting point is 00:05:59 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.
Starting point is 00:06:13 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.
Starting point is 00:06:31 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
Starting point is 00:06:48 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
Starting point is 00:07:33 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.
Starting point is 00:07:54 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.
Starting point is 00:08:08 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?
Starting point is 00:08:26 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.
Starting point is 00:08:46 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.
Starting point is 00:09:06 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
Starting point is 00:09:26 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.
Starting point is 00:09:41 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.
Starting point is 00:10:00 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
Starting point is 00:10:15 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.
Starting point is 00:10:27 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.
Starting point is 00:10:40 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
Starting point is 00:11:00 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
Starting point is 00:11:12 I've tweeted it now suggest an idiot edit poddiots presents suggest an idiot presents Tyne Bridge absurd
Starting point is 00:11:22 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
Starting point is 00:11:33 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.
Starting point is 00:11:46 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.
Starting point is 00:12:06 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.
Starting point is 00:12:21 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
Starting point is 00:12:38 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
Starting point is 00:13:05 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
Starting point is 00:13:17 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
Starting point is 00:13:32 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?
Starting point is 00:13:50 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.
Starting point is 00:14:05 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
Starting point is 00:14:25 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?
Starting point is 00:14:46 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.
Starting point is 00:14:56 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?
Starting point is 00:15:21 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.
Starting point is 00:15:49 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.
Starting point is 00:16:01 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
Starting point is 00:16:17 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 Reddit is being reviewed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of Tyne Bridge.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Do you manage Tyne Bridge? Reply to reviews, edit business info and connect with customers for free. 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.
Starting point is 00:16:51 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
Starting point is 00:17:11 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.

Starting point is 00:22:24 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
Starting point is 00:23:03 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
Starting point is 00:23:21 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.
Starting point is 00:23:37 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.
Starting point is 00:23:53 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.
Starting point is 00:24:17 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...
Starting point is 00:24:28 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.
Starting point is 00:24:46 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.
Starting point is 00:25:02 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
Starting point is 00:25:14 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.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Yeah. I'm ready to lock in my answer. Yeah. Likewise. I am keeping the fork. Why? Why? What do you mean why?
Starting point is 00:25:40 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
Starting point is 00:25:57 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
Starting point is 00:26:14 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
Starting point is 00:26:47 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
Starting point is 00:27:03 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.
Starting point is 00:27:22 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.
Starting point is 00:27:35 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
Starting point is 00:27:57 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.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Or the scum, if you want to call it that. It's written by Thomas Blow and was published on the 26th of June, 2022. Okay, here's the headline. Rock and Lou Roll. It's the little song joke. Oh, I get it. I get it.
Starting point is 00:28:35 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
Starting point is 00:28:49 put poo in the Rock Dwayne Johnson's lunch box and warned him not to leave food in locker room what
Starting point is 00:28:58 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
Starting point is 00:29:08 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
Starting point is 00:29:29 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.
Starting point is 00:29:58 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.
Starting point is 00:30:27 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
Starting point is 00:30:48 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
Starting point is 00:31:01 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
Starting point is 00:31:14 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
Starting point is 00:31:34 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.
Starting point is 00:32:04 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.
Starting point is 00:32:19 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.
Starting point is 00:32:32 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
Starting point is 00:32:51 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.
Starting point is 00:33:08 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.
Starting point is 00:33:23 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.
Starting point is 00:33:35 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.
Starting point is 00:33:57 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.
Starting point is 00:34:52 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.
Starting point is 00:35:19 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.
Starting point is 00:35:32 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.
Starting point is 00:36:10 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.
Starting point is 00:36:29 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
Starting point is 00:36:47 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.
Starting point is 00:37:32 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.
Starting point is 00:37:55 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?
Starting point is 00:38:11 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?
Starting point is 00:38:49 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.
Starting point is 00:39:24 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.
Starting point is 00:39:46 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?
Starting point is 00:40:17 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
Starting point is 00:40:35 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
Starting point is 00:40:50 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.
Starting point is 00:41:06 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.
Starting point is 00:41:25 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
Starting point is 00:41:44 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
Starting point is 00:42:00 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
Starting point is 00:42:13 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.
Starting point is 00:42:26 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
Starting point is 00:42:43 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.
Starting point is 00:43:11 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
Starting point is 00:43:44 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.
Starting point is 00:44:05 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?
Starting point is 00:44:18 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
Starting point is 00:44:31 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
Starting point is 00:44:45 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...
Starting point is 00:45:01 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,
Starting point is 00:45:19 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.
Starting point is 00:45:34 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.
Starting point is 00:45:51 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,
Starting point is 00:46:08 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.
Starting point is 00:46:43 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,
Starting point is 00:47:24 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,
Starting point is 00:47:40 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.
Starting point is 00:47:59 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
Starting point is 00:48:20 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
Starting point is 00:48:35 This is a menu One nine course menu Included Oyster cocktail Cream of chicken soup Boiled Snapper fillet of beef with mushrooms roast chicken
Starting point is 00:48:48 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
Starting point is 00:49:00 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
Starting point is 00:49:23 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.
Starting point is 00:50:09 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.
Starting point is 00:50:31 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
Starting point is 00:50:48 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
Starting point is 00:51:06 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
Starting point is 00:51:18 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
Starting point is 00:51:28 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
Starting point is 00:51:38 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.
Starting point is 00:52:00 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
Starting point is 00:52:39 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
Starting point is 00:53:11 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
Starting point is 00:53:26 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.
Starting point is 00:53:36 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
Starting point is 00:53:49 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.
Starting point is 00:54:00 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
Starting point is 00:54:17 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
Starting point is 00:54:42 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.
Starting point is 00:55:10 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.
Starting point is 00:55:29 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.
Starting point is 00:55:54 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.
Starting point is 00:56:09 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.
Starting point is 00:56:23 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.
Starting point is 00:56:40 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
Starting point is 00:56:56 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.
Starting point is 00:57:25 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
Starting point is 00:57:59 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.
Starting point is 00:58:40 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.
Starting point is 00:59:00 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?
Starting point is 00:59:14 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
Starting point is 00:59:26 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
Starting point is 00:59:39 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.
Starting point is 00:59:58 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?
Starting point is 01:00:11 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
Starting point is 01:00:47 payoff, a very underwhelming one. Like a little party, a Christmas cracker with a little crappy plastic ring in it. One of those birthday
Starting point is 01:00:57 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.
Starting point is 01:01:08 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.
Starting point is 01:01:14 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.
Starting point is 01:01:21 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.
Starting point is 01:01:35 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
Starting point is 01:01:53 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
Starting point is 01:02:07 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
Starting point is 01:02:18 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
Starting point is 01:02:36 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
Starting point is 01:03:02 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
Starting point is 01:03:28 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
Starting point is 01:03:42 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.
Starting point is 01:04:13 name les right meanwhile in Switzerland a list of 80 dogs that took part in a shooting festival in the year
Starting point is 01:04:21 1504 has been preserved they reveal the most popular name was first which means prince
Starting point is 01:04:27 other names included Venus Fortuna and Turgk with a G in between the R and the K
Starting point is 01:04:33 some dogs got their names from the work being done by their owners Hemmerly Little Hammer belonged to
Starting point is 01:04:40 a locksmith while spichli little spoke belonged to a wagner The 14th century French knight Jehan de Seur
Starting point is 01:04:50 had a hound named Parcival while his wife had diamond Leon Batista Alberti the Renaissance philosopher said his dog was sired by
Starting point is 01:05:02 Megastomo Big mouth Ludovico also got it hang on I've skipped ahead there Ludovico the third Gonzaga ruler of the city of Manchur
Starting point is 01:05:13 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.
Starting point is 01:05:46 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
Starting point is 01:06:26 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
Starting point is 01:06:50 They were called Tybers or Tiber Or Tiber With a T S or T was generic name To domestic cats in France Tibut
Starting point is 01:07:00 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
Starting point is 01:07:09 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
Starting point is 01:07:19 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,
Starting point is 01:07:32 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.
Starting point is 01:07:56 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
Starting point is 01:08:18 An Irish poem From the 9th century describes how a monk owned a cat named Pangurban Which I'm definitely mispronouncing Which meant
Starting point is 01:08:25 Fuller White The poem begins I and Pangaban My cat Tis a like task We are at Hunting mice is his delight Hunting words
Starting point is 01:08:36 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
Starting point is 01:08:57 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.
Starting point is 01:09:43 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.
Starting point is 01:10:00 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
Starting point is 01:10:18 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
Starting point is 01:10:35 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.
Starting point is 01:10:56 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
Starting point is 01:11:13 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
Starting point is 01:11:31 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.
Starting point is 01:11:57 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?
Starting point is 01:12:15 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
Starting point is 01:12:38 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
Starting point is 01:12:48 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
Starting point is 01:13:00 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.
Starting point is 01:13:13 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.
Starting point is 01:13:35 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
Starting point is 01:13:54 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.
Starting point is 01:14:16 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
Starting point is 01:15:04 huge huge huge I think we've thoroughly stumped some some old-timers hit not all-timey people people from the past stupid old people fantastic well thank you for your things and the questions guys that is the end of this poddy it's episode thank you so much for listening everybody
