Well, guys, it was sort of appropriate, but not entirely planned, that we gave a little preamble
last week about what the fuck Pottietz is, because we've been invited to join and have joined
the Yogscast Pickax Network. Hey, look at that. We're in the up at the actual one now.
Yeah. Yeah, as you say, it wasn't planned. Just by chance.
you were like, we've not done a sort of a, if you're new here for a while.
And then we were, I had a little clip posted onto their, not YouTube channel, their Twitter
account, which is very nice.
Yeah, yeah, a little bit of promotion.
Look at us, all over the Twitter sphere.
I feel really good about the fact that this being sort of episode two of us being on the
pickax network.
And, you know, in theory, maybe a bit more, feeling a bit more professional and a bit more
high and mighty. I'm in like the echoiest room ever. It's the same room I normally record in,
but we're moving house and all of the furniture has been removed. So you'll have to bear with me
this week. I'm sorry, everyone, but... You sound okay on Discord. Oh, okay. Well, we'll see. If there's a bit of
reverb in the edit, when the podcast comes out, then, you know, Discord might be doing some good work
for you, Ben. I don't know. Maybe. Maybe it's filtering out. The echo is your clownhorn.
Yes, exactly.
That was very surreal listening back to that
and hearing every single horn
and we're going, nope, didn't hear that.
Nothing.
I wonder how many potential new listeners tuned in
and I got 10 seconds and went, wow, okay, not this then.
Not for me.
Oh, God, yeah, that's a good point.
Despite the fact we introduced who we were,
we really introduced who we were in the cold open, didn't we?
Two minutes of clown horn.
It's just like videos all over again, really.
it's a new embodiment of that squeaky hammer.
Hey, look, we're open to a new audience now
and there is surely,
there's got to be at least a percentage of people
who are really into obnoxious clown horn honks, you know?
And we've got them. They found us.
Reel them in.
It's a litmus test. If you can get through that, then you're in.
Welcome, baby.
Lucky, lucky us.
Mikey, I don't suppose you have any insight to lend about
just what the Pickax Network is and the kind of people who are on it.
Oh, of course.
can. Welcome to the boardroom, gentlemen. Here's the pitch. So pickax, essentially, it operates
just like the OXCast Network does on YouTube. It's kind of, it's a support system. It provides
a lot of services, basically makes our lives a lot easier, takes care of the boring behind-the-scenes
stuff and gives us opportunities we otherwise wouldn't have, mostly in regards to getting
adverts in the podcast, long last, thank you. So yeah, it's, there's a whole host of nice
podcasts on there. You've got Triforce, high rollers, sounds peculiar portions. Basically, there's a whole
host of really good, really good shows on there.
And now we join the ranks.
And this also opens up the opportunity for, you know, cross-collaboration, you know,
getting people on here, potentially.
We've never had a guest before.
So maybe that will happen.
We have had guests before.
Have we?
Oh, my God, we have cultaholic.
We had cultaholic, yeah.
We did cultaholic that time, but that was it.
Oh, sorry, culta-holic.
We never had any of our Yorgscast friends on.
There you go.
There you go.
Well, the thing is, though, if we do, if we get other guests on,
legally, Peter and I have to go and work with them at the end of the year?
Yeah, that's how it works.
We have to go and, we have to go be their employees.
Well, you heard it at first.
Guests coming, apparently.
Maybe.
We'll see.
I'll give the Snappies manager a call and see if he wants to shout at us on a podcast for a bit.
Oh my God.
Okay, well, let's roll the music because we need to talk about these Snappies.
Yeah, that's a whole can of square words.
Bewilded Snappies manager in Bristol.
Okay, let's go.
Hello everybody and welcome to Poddy.
It's the official.
Vidiots.
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.
I'm Ben.
I'm Peter.
And I'm a very disgruntled manager of a Bristol
Snappies franchise.
Mikey, can you tell us a bit more about your Snappies franchise, please?
Yeah, I mean, business is going well.
We've had an influx of recent reviews.
I don't quite understand.
I don't know if we're attracting a new audience.
I mean, I'm grateful for the business, but...
Is business actually up, though, or are you just getting more reviews?
Well, I mean, you can't leave a review without buying a Peter.
That'd be ludicrous.
Who would leave a review on a Google Maps place without never actually going to the place?
That's unspeakable.
Yeah, the other day, I had one the other day, from John.
Place is great, though the name has changed recently.
I'm pretty sure they got absorbed by the Meatface Company.
I don't know where these allegations are coming from.
We'd never been associated with the Meatface Company,
and I let this person know in my response of just four question marks.
I'm hoping answers on a postcard, please.
And another one from Gav made a great friend in the ball pit.
I mean, we don't have a ball pit.
I think they might have left this for the wrong player.
and had the best bean time at Snapben's to Mikey pizza.
I mean, they were nice and pleasant,
so to that one, I just said, hey, Gav, cheers.
It's my days.
Thanks, Gab.
That's not quite the name, but cheers.
Close enough.
The other guy didn't even think he thought the name had changed for some reason.
And what's a meat facery is my question.
Is that?
Her?
Four question marks.
Her?
Got one last one from Robert.
I think I saw the neighbor's cat.
from Dundee Bungalow
Dundee Bungalow
having a podiotroney pizza last week
we don't even have that on our menu
I just assume this is all the new students
coming to the city and getting quite drunk
and just not understanding what they're typing
Did you reply to that one?
No, I just let that one be.
I was too bewildered by that one.
Fair enough.
Speaking of a world of course.
Yeah, well I was going to say
just for those who aren't clued up on this amazing bit of role play, Mikey.
Thank you.
The Mikey just did for us there.
This has actually happened.
So we or someone actually, or was it, did we change that one or did someone else do it?
I think I did that one.
Oh, did you?
Yeah, that one's on me.
We changed the name of Snappy's Tomato Pizza in Bristol to Poddiet's Presents Snappy's Tomato
Pizza or Snappy's Pizza, I don't know.
And people, Podiat listeners have now been leaving review.
on Google Maps, and the owner of the outlet has been responding to them.
Oh, God, no, this is opening up the floodgates for so many more.
Why did we talk about it?
Oh, I don't know.
This poor man, he's not going to have any time to make pizzas in between replying.
If you're going to leave a review, at least go and eat a pizza.
Go and support the company.
Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
If you're in Bristol, you have to go to Poddy.
presents snappy tomato pizza you've got to do it not just because we all love it mike he's
vegan and he still goes to snappy's tomato pizza yeah i get cheeses one it's very sad looking but i
can't ever give up my snappies yeah do it you've you've got you've got to go if you're gonna
leave a review you've got to go as peter said that's the trade-off yeah but also do leave lots of funny
reviews we enjoy them a lot hey do you like this sort of nonsense we hope so because that's kind of
what we do here. But if you want to support this nonsense financially, you can go to streamlabs.com
forward slash poddiots donations and donate three pounds or more to get a shout out at the beginning
and the end of the show. You get to leave a funny name. You join the Pod Squad. It's all very
appreciated and we love you a lot. We've got the Pod Squad for this week here, which was very
frustrating because the way we do our Pod Squad normally is by copying the information to Excel.

Mikey, are you question boy this week?
No, I'm not.
Peter, your question boy this week.
I am, yes.
I let you ask that question.
I let Mikey answer.
I sat in silence.
You're so polite.
So I've got some questions here.
Would you like a question now?
Yes, please.
This is from Nile Gray at Lord of the Grey on Twitter,
who says,
What's the funniest and most passive-aggressive way
you've ever annoyed someone,
either for petty reasons or just for fun,
upside-down smiley face.
Thank you, Nile.
Passive-aggressive way.
Is this passive-aggressive?
Yeah, it's not actually aggressive, it's more passive.
So in uni, I used to, my housemate used to play League of Legends,
like eight hours a day and he'd usually get quite heated and shout a lot during it and it got a lot
quite a lot and so every once in a while as a treat um i'd unplug the router that was in my room
in a middle of some of his games it's just and he come through like oh is you not not working like
yeah oh yeah no it's it's gone down sorry mate yeah leo if you're listening i'm so sorry
you are being very loud i said that's why you did it because he was being loud yes it yeah
Yes, it was just, I didn't want to have a confrontation and say, hey, Leo, you know, it's me, your friend who you go at uni with.
I can't, you're being quite loud right now.
Could you keep it down a bit?
I couldn't do that.
I couldn't do that.
So instead I went nuclear and unplugged the internet.
I was a special treat, though.
If I did that, if I do that too often, that'd be pretty obvious what's happening.
So, you know, everyone's every couple of weeks at most, maybe.
I remember this isn't something I used to be repeated they only did it once
when I was a student at uni the first year in halls I lived with a whole bunch of
assholes well they weren't all assholes but more there were more assholes than
they were either assholes or literally kept themselves to themselves and never left their
bedroom that was kind of the two types of people I was living with and there was one guy
who lived across the corridor from me who was the king of
assholes. And I think he's probably the worst person I've still ever met in my life in person.
And he, amongst many other things, did the classic thing of he would just never ever wash anything up,
ever. He'd come from a privileged background, which doesn't immediately and inherently make you an
asshole, but can quite often do so. And I believe he'd had staff at his house, and he just did not
even know how or why or when to wash or clean anything so he would just pile loads and loads
of crockery in the sink which then meant of course that nobody else could wash up because there would be a big
so we had the for international listeners there was a big plastic washing up tub in the sink it's a
thing that british people do for some reason how do they do that i don't know instead of just putting
the plug in the sink. I think it's so you can then take the tub out and wash the tub so you're not
clear. Like, you know, sinks probably get quite dirty. I was going to say not waste water,
but yeah, that's what a plug is for. So I don't really... Yeah. So we had a big plastic washing up
tub in the sink and it would be absolutely full of stuff. And usually I would like either just
take all this stuff out and leave on the side or something if I wanted to wash my things.
But one time I got really, really sick of it. So what I did, what I knew,
because he had a pretty regular schedule,
I knew he would be back pretty soon
because it was a day where I used to hear him come back
when I had like a break at like 11 o'clock or something.
And I went into the kitchen at half past 10
to have some breakfast
and all the stuff was in the tub.
So I was like, I know what I'm going to do.
And I took the tub out of the sink
and I placed it in front of his door in the corridor
so that he had to step over a tub of dirty crockery
to get into his room.
That's good, isn't it? Isn't that really petty? And he didn't know necessarily who'd done it either.
He probably could have guessed it was me, but he wouldn't have known for sure. So it wasn't even, you know, it was an anonymous cowardly move.
The right one, I think. Did it fix things?
He did actually then sometimes wash up for a brief period. And it didn't last. But I do think as a result, he booked his ideas up slightly.
slightly and briefly
it's better than nothing
just the monthly
tub outside the door
trache I'll keep him on
God what word am I trying to say here
on
it'll keep him going on
I know I said on fleak
but that's definitely
I don't even know what that means
It will keep them on fleak
Don't they
Yeah
Yeah
Oh dear
Ben please
To distract from my mess up
What's your petty thing
I've definitely done really petty stuff before
but I can't remember any of it
because I think
as I imagine was the case
when both of you did your petty things
the adrenaline was flowing
you were really pissed off
and you probably felt at least a little bit
bad about what you'd done afterwards
like you may well have done the right thing
and not done anything wrong
but like you probably thought
I should have been the bigger person here
and maybe not done that
but in the moment you were seeing red
and that's how you acted.
And I know I've been there before,
but I think I've probably,
to an extent,
maybe blocked some of those memories from my mind
because they weren't good.
But one thing I can remember,
which maybe isn't so much petty as it is,
almost self-preservation,
but I've shared rooms before
with people who are big-time snorers,
like really big-time snorers.
And I've been woken up
or been prevented from sleeping by the snoring.
So I've deliberately, like, kicked a wall
or really made some, like, clank, like, punched the bed head or whatever.
Like, just made a real racket to either stir them enough
so that it's almost like a hard reset on their snoring.
Or, in some cases, I have pinched their nose
until they breathe out of their mouth.
Oh, my God, have you?
Yeah, I have done this before.
Wow, that's quite great.
What if they wake up and, like, really, wow, that's so brave.
That's what would worry me about that.
They never woke up and I've reached the point now where, in my life, where I'm very rarely sharing a room with someone else, like, that I would do that too, if you know what it mean.
It was sort of like the realm of sleepovers, kind of that that would happen.
It's a combination of closing someone's airways and then also saying they never woke up.
It's quite a...
Well, that's the thing, Michael, they always wake up.
If your nose is blocked, you will breathe out of your...
If your mouth is closed, you will start breathing out of your mouth.
The problem is when the mouth is open and the snoring persists, then there's a problem.
I don't know what you do, apart from wake them up at that point.
So, yeah, that's...
There's my one.
You're right, that man.
Attempted murder.
That's pretty petty, attempted murder.
no you're right that like I
I think I know
there are things that I've done that would be
better answers but I do think you sort of
blot those things out like you do
I don't look back fondly on any
of those things or proudly
even the one I told I'm surprised I remember that
because it's the kind of thing that I wish I'd sort
of blot it out but yeah
I'm sure there's worse that I've done
it's how we sleep at night
blocking out these atrocities
fingers on our nose
yes don't you dare fucking snore
I'm coming for you.
Oh, God.
Who would like to do a thing?
I would love to do a thing.
Oh, do it.
I'd love to do a thing.
My thing is about the climb that I did last weekend at the time of recording.
Ooh.
Okay.
I went up a mountain.
Oh, well done.
Nice.
Was it called Ben?
Oh, no, it was.
No, it wasn't sadly.
If you're in Scotland, it would have been.
I was going to say it was the biggest one in Wales
and you had to go immediately for the biggest one in the UK,
didn't you, Peter, to make my achievement just feel a little less excited.
I've got been up there, but I'm just saying it could have been...
There are lots of Ben's in Scotland, not just Ben Nevis.
Are there?
I believe so, yeah.
I think Ben is...
Oh, okay.
Means mountain or something.
Maybe Nevis does, and I'm wrong.
Does it?
Oh, that's lovely.
Well, no, I haven't been up Ben Nevis, which is the tallest mountain in the UK.
I believe citation needed.
I went up Snowden in Wales.
Nice.
And it was an absolute delight.
And I thought I would talk about my awkward encounter at the top of Snowden.
So I put my headphones in, I pretty much just sort of marched right on up that, right on up that big green, bad, beautiful bad boy.
I didn't, what am I trying to say?
I didn't go up the harder path.
There were lots of, there are a few routes up Snowden.
And I went up the, I think the easiest one, because that's what the party I always wanted.
decided would be the one that we all walked up. But there was still some hesitation to the extent
where I did put my headphones in and just storm right up that mountain. And it is something that I
would encourage everybody to try because it's not that hard, especially that route. It is a long
walk, but people of all shapes and sizes and clearly levels of fitness were at the top. They made
it to the top. It's just a case of how many times you need to stop for a little sit down and a
break. So it took me about two hours and 45 minutes to get from the bottom to the peak,
not the top, but the peak. Because when you get to the peak or when you get to the top,
there's something of a cue to get to the peak to take a photo at the sort of decided, nominated
peak, which has a little plaque and stuff like that.
now when i climbed to the top um and started taking a photo a lady shouted at me and said there's a
cue and and i looked around and low and bold there was a huge huge queue up to the peak that i just did not
see and i don't know why i didn't see it i just didn't see it um i was sort of scrambling up the side of this thing
which as it turns out
was the way people were coming down
after queuing up to the top
and I was just looking at my feet
and I wasn't looking at the queue
went to take a photo
and this lady shouted at me
and said, hey, you know there's a queue
and in that exact moment
speaking of sort of moments of pettiness
where you see red
and you'd rather block these memories out
and I haven't yet done it
and you're about to immortalise it
in a podcast episode
yeah go on
yeah I went into sort of a fight
or flight mode because I on in that in that exact moment I felt like I was in trouble at school
and I retorted in a very childish way that I wasn't proud of immediately afterwards I
wasn't proud of I felt really stupid I said um there's a cue said uh it's it's just it's a hill
that's what I mean that's what I was thinking just climb up it is what I said
as I turned to then sort of walk back down
to where I'd come to a chorus of tuts as you walk past.
Past all of these people
and I had to sit and have like a little sulk for a bit
because I felt really embarrassed and kind of humiliated.
And when I looked at that photo that I'd taken at the top,
it was sort of a...
I don't usually like taking selfies,
but I thought, well, I'll do it because, you know,
it's the top of Snowden.
and in the background you can see just like two people in this queue just staring at me like really cross
and I had to delete it I just can't have it on my phone it's like tainted yeah because I know what I did
I know what I did so that was like really humiliating and I felt very embarrassed and really bad about it
but in that moment where I was challenged I decided to fight this woman and I don't know why I did
But yeah, it kind of fucked up the day, kind of fucked up the whole day for me.
Yeah, as you get to think about that, the entire long walk back down the mountain.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was really embarrassing.
I admire you staying up there in getting a picture.
If that, I mean, I would have just like gone straight back down the mountain, not queued up, and just left.
Left way off.
I then went back down to the top, not the peak, and I waited for everybody else to arrive.
and then was on top of that mountain for like an hour and a half,
which is when I got very sunburned on my face.
So in that time, I managed to cool down, a calm down,
and sort of have a bit of a moan and a cry to the other people in the party about,
wow, what an idiot I was.
And then I felt a bit better because I sort of just was stewing on it in my own head.
But yeah, if you climb Snowden, make sure you join the queue for the peak.
because otherwise
Jesus Christ
something just fell off my wall
The wall shocked at its depravity
There's some travel tips for you
Cue at the top of the mountain
It was the Vidiot's title belt
Oh no
I didn't hear it like a heavy
I thought you meant maybe a poster or something
I didn't hear the sound
It must have been discorded out
I hope that comes through on my recording
The Vidyets champion, as if my embarrassment could be gave in the brink.
The Vidyat's championship belt just fell off the wall and onto my desk.
Wow.
Oh, okay.
Well, anyway, yeah, that's my thing.
If you're going up Snowden, you can do it and you should try it,
but also don't be an asshole at the top like I was.
And if you are, maybe keep your composure and don't be such a twat.
Mm-hmm. Okay.
Good advice.
Yeah, thank you, Ben.
I hope this helps heal.
this wound and you can move on from her and forget about it.
Me too.
I've just got loads of adrenaline now from this.
Fucking belt falling off the wall.
Probably just from reliving that story as well.
I've got a question here from Paul at Paul Zaremba 16.
And Paul says, do you guys have anything you do for good luck?
Or do you avoid anything because you believe it is bad luck?
My wife, as of next week, will not pick up any coin if it is face down.
We will never financially recover from it.
Kay, love you bye.
I assume by that he means that the lady will be his wife as of next week,
not that his current wife will, as of next week, not pick up any coin if it's face down.
But you never know.
I'm not a massively superstitious.
I mean, it's not really superstition, but I'm a intent, well,
Oh, God, no, I'm a mess.
As I was going to say, I like to play things quite safe most of the time,
but I know I'm actually like, when I'm in total control,
I can be a complete loon and just destroy myself in so many ways,
like skateboarding.
I'm not a safe cyclist.
I'm not a safe skateboarder.
But day to day life, I try to be pretty level-headed.
God, no, there's nothing.
Let me think.
I open my mouth hoping something would come and nothing did.
Now here I am prattling.
Well, I, I refute, there are a few things that I do that are,
I know that there's no logical basis for it.
And if someone actually asked me,
do you honestly think that if you do or do not do this thing,
it's going to bring you bad luck,
then I would say, well, no, obviously not.
But I guess I'm just, it's almost more like a,
like upholding a tradition or something.
And I just like the idea of doing something
the way people have done it for a long time.
It's not so much the luck.
But like, I will not cheer anyone,
as in, you know, toasting.
uh if i've got an empty glass and that is that i mean that goes back to the idea that i think it was
it's it's considered bad luck to do that um whether that's the reason i do it i don't know if i
would say that as such but you know things like that like i i i do things that are quote
unquote superstitious but not necessarily because i actually think they're going to do things
like that to me um it almost feels like an insult to chase someone without something in your drink
Well, yeah, I mean, there's that too.
It's a bit strange.
Yeah.
I don't mind black cats.
I don't know if I would mind walking under a ladder.
You know, all these things I don't actually think are going to affect my life.
But, and yet, some of them, if I can think of any more, I would just say like, oh, no, I wouldn't do that.
I don't know why.
I don't really believe in superstitions at all.
So I will cheer someone with an empty glass if I've got.
on empty glass because for me it's more sort of the gesture of being involved and because if I just
say no to cheering them at that point it just feels kind of rude as much as superstitious for not having
done it yeah so I would I've walked under ladders but I usually avoid them just because it seems
a bit unsafe yeah I mean that's presumably the root of the actual thing is you know someone probably
have said that's not a good idea and it's turned into a superstition some people are funny about
under scaffolding as well, you know, if there's like a footpath under that and give a shit about that.
The superstitions around black cats are very harmful because that means that black cats don't get adopted and they're just as lovely as regular cats.
They are cats.
So, yeah, the only superstition I suppose that I would remotely adhere to is I don't really like the dark.
So sometimes, you know, as I'm walking through the flats, the flat and like turning off various lights, I won't just have.
for example, a light on in my bedroom and then turn off the light in the kitchen and then
have to walk all the way through in the dark. I'll have like lights on between there and the
final light. That's not because I think I'm going to be eaten by monsters. It's just because
I'm uncomfortable in the dark. You're the kind of person who, if going upstairs and turns all the
lights off downstairs, then like sprints up the stairs. Sprint up on all fours. No, see, I don't do
that. Oh, I do that. It's my favorite. Running up the stairs on all fours. It's
such a treat. It's great. A treat. I don't like running up the stairs in the dark only because
if I run, that's when it makes me feel uncomfortable. I can walk up the stairs in the dark. I don't
have an issue with. But if I run as though, you know, if I plant that seed in my mind,
they're like, why are you running? Is it because there's a monster? Again, I don't actually think
there's a monster, but it's that kind of thing. I've thought of a couple of others that I do, that I do
do um but yeah uh i seem to just randomly pick and choose because i don't have issues with ladders or
cats but uh i um would rather not open an umbrella indoors um i i would do it if you know if we
were shooting something a clip for triple jump and it had a prop umbrella i wouldn't go oh no i can't
i can't do that but i would choose not to um and i also just generally don't like to kind of quote unquote
tempt fate. Like, I don't like to say things out loud about, like, sort of hypothetical bad things,
you know, like, I don't like to talk about, I don't know, I wouldn't like to talk about a family
member, like having an illness or something, you know, like a fatal condition or something like
that. I know full well that saying those things, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
bring it into effect or anything like that but uh i just sort of wouldn't do it i don't exactly know why
because there's not a belief system there yeah there's an element of poor that being in poor taste
as well yeah yeah there's that too but you know even if it was just sort of to myself if i was in
an empty room and was for some reason talking to myself about like relatives being unwell
i would feel uncomfortable saying that um but i think these sometimes these things
just like ingrained into you even if you know logically that there's not actually any
scientific truth to it you kind of there's just a separate part of your brain that's like yeah
but you still shouldn't though should you you still shouldn't well why shouldn't i but you just
monkey brain yeah monkey brain for sure good well if that's it uh i will ask uh no not i won't
ask me i will open the floor to michael johnson or to me what'd you rather do mike you go

dot ca slash active
oh yeah
here we go sports time
you know
you get it Ben
I do. I do get it.
I come with a tale of sports debauchery,
debauchery today involving alcohol and baseball.
The America's two favorite pastimes.
So this is the story of 10 cent beer night.
Oh my God.
Right.
Yeah, I mean he probably's already kind of paint a picture here.
So, 10 cent beer night was a promotion held by the Cleveland Indians during a game against
the Texas Rangers at their stadium on Tuesday, June 4th, 1974.
The idea behind the promotion was to attract more fans to the game by offering cups of low
alcohol beer for just 10 cents each.
And today's money, that is 55 cents.
So, even if it's pretty low percentage, that's a hell of a deal.
Yeah.
For any drink, really.
yeah yeah god i'd take god yeah fizzy water at that price even that would be a treat um and yeah that's a
discount on the regular price of 65 cents or a three dollar 50 equivalent today so yeah that's
essentially three dollars off a beer which is pretty good um but there was a limit of six beers
per purchase but there was no limit on how many purchases you could make so you go up get
your six beers, drink them, head back out, bam, you know, and then just repeat that all night
long, and I imagine you're going to get pretty, pretty wasted by the end of that.
For a bit of context, before 10 cent beer night unfolded, the team was in a bit of a precarious
position. There'd been a lot of tension in games, and the Indians and the Rangers had been
involved in a bench-clearing brawl that had been widely publicised, and the game therefore
drew a pretty rowdy crowd to this one. I guess people anticipating more rowdy-ness and want to
get in there and punch some poor people.
So we get to the game.
So six days after the previous game
where there was the brawl, the
Tencent Bay and Night Promotion drew in
25,134 fans to Cleveland Stadium.
The game was kind of going
all right. The Rangers quickly took a
5-1 lead. I'm just going to
there's going to be some sport words in this. I don't really know
what 5-1, I assume, I don't know
how scoring works in baseball, but
there was a 5-1 lead to the Rangers.
Meanwhile, throughout the game, the increasingly inebriated crowd grew more and more unruly.
Early in the game, Cleveland's Learron Lee hit a line drive, I don't know what that means,
into the stomach of Rangers pitcher Fergus Jenkins, after which Jenkins dropped to the ground.
Fans in the upper deck of the stadium cheered and then chanted, hear him again, hear him again,
harder, harder.
Very nice.
A woman ran out onto the Indians on deck circle.
flashed her breasts and then tried to kiss the umpire who it says here was not in a kissing mood
and then one inning later a father and son pair ran onto the outfield and mooned the fans in
the bleachers so a really wholesome family night out already wow although it's not clear why
i think i think this it's it's clear why hundreds of fans had brought firecrackers
which they set off in the stands at random.
Quote here,
lending the game a war zone ambience
that would seem increasingly appropriate.
As the game progressed,
more fans ran onto the field and caused problems.
Ranger First Baseman, Mike Hargrove,
was pelted with hot dogs and spit.
Mmm, tasty.
And at one point was nearly struck
by an empty gallon jug of Thunderbird.
A player was sent off
after accidentally catching another player
with, yeah, catching another play with the cleats
trying to slide to a base.
The Rangers' angry response to this call
and, sorry, oh, God, I cut some words out here now.
It doesn't make sense.
But, yeah, basically, like,
they were pretty pissed off about him getting sent off by that
because it was, you know, he just caught him.
It wasn't intentional, but he got sent off.
And so the fans were pretty angry.
And then they again started throwing objects onto the field.
Someone tossed firecrackers into the Rangers' bullpen,
an atmosphere made hazy by clouds of exploded gunpowder
and marijuana smoke contributed to the unsettling mood.
By the seventh inning, families and those fans who remained sober had mostly left the
ballparks, so now this was just a stadium full of drunks.
The remaining crowd continued to grow drunker.
At this point, attendees were going directly to the brewery's truck to get a refill because
there's just so many people going to get drinks that the staff couldn't keep up the demand
or the amount of people, so they just sent them all out into the back of the parking lock,
take the bottles to the truck
and just fill them there
and then Pant to send them on the way
which I don't know
I think at this point
wouldn't you say
maybe we're not going to sell beer anymore
or maybe that'll make it worse
I guess
you die either way
because you get rid of the beer
you probably is going to cause a riot
anyway at that point
people want their beer
now onto the section
named the riot
so that was just
The warm-up act.
After the Indians had managed to tie the game,
a 19-year-old fan ran onto the field
and attempted to steal Texas outfielder Jeff Burroughs cap,
confronting the fan, Burroughs tripped,
thinking that Burroughs had been attacked.
Texas manager Billy Martin charged onto the field
with his players in his hand
and all wielding some bats.
A large number of intoxicated fans,
some armed with knives, chains and clubs,
fashioned from portions of the stadium seats that they had torn apart,
surged onto the field, and the others hurled bottles from the stands.
200 fans surrounded the 25 Rangers with more coming.
So pretty quickly, it just barreled out of control.
Realising that the Rangers' lives might be in danger,
Cleveland manager Ken Aspromonte ordered his players to grab bats and help the Rangers,
attacking the team's own fans in the process.
It's a war zone.
Rioters began throwing steel-folded chairs
and Cleveland relief pitcher Tom Hilgendorf
was hit in the head by one of them.
Hargrove, after subduing one rioter in a fist fight,
had to fight another on his way back to the Texas dugout.
The two teams retreated off the field
through the dugouts and groups
with players protecting each other.
At this point, they just fled into,
the clubhouse, lock the doors, and just hid from everyone, leaving several, maybe even
a couple of thousand people out there just like, I lord the pig style, just fucking going nuts.
So the crowd pulled up and stole the bases on the field and anything else they could find.
Rioters through a vast array of objects, including cups, rocks, bottles, batteries from radios,
hot dogs again, popcorn containers and folding chairs, umpire crew chief Chilac,
realizing that order would not be restored in a timely fashion,
forfeited the game to Texas,
which I'm actually quite stunned it took that long.
I think the second anyone goes on the field
and starts beating people up.
It's like, all right, nope, we're calling that.
This game's not going anywhere.
And after this, the writing continued for 20 more minutes
as Joe Tate and HerbScore.
That's a good name.
Herb score.
That's brilliant.
He was born to be a sportsman.
Or drug deal.
It won the two.
Yes,
here it was, yeah.
So, yeah, the commentators
called the riot out live on the radio
for everyone at home to hear as well.
So they're just kind of giving play-by-plays
as it progressed just like a game.
Score mentioned the security guard's inability
to handle the crowd.
Tate said,
or, this is an absolute tragedy.
The Cleveland Division of Police
finally arrived to restore order
arresting nine fans.
Indian, Indians players
escorted the Rangers to the team bus,
a local sports writer, Dan Coughlin
of the Chronicle Telegram,
attempted it into a few fans,
but was punched in the face twice.
Excellent.
Cleveland general manager, Phil Segui,
blamed the umpires for losing control of the game.
The sporting news wrote that Segey's perspective
might have been different
had he been in Shilach's shoes
in the midst of knife-wielding,
bottle-throwing, chair-tossing,
fist-swinging drunks.
American League President Lee McPhail
commented,
There's no question that beer played a part in the riot.
You think?
Maybe, maybe.
But that wasn't the, well, that's the end of that.
That's the end of the whole thing.
But that was not the only 10 cent beer night.
They did it again.
God, only a few months later, with even more fans attending this time,
41,000.
10 cents a cup once again.
But they did the smart thing, a limit of two cups per person for the entire game.
Good.
Per person.
see that's better than per sale yeah i can't believe that no one thought this is going to end badly but
hey it's a hell of an image picturing all this going down my god that's that's that's why you don't mix
beer and sports friends what did you say right at the beginning that it was to uh try and get more ticket
sales because they probably manage that at the very least hey yeah they made headline news after that
so i guess that probably is next time everyone was eager eager to get in there and see what was going on
Into the thick of it.
Brilliant.
Bring my bag of hot dogs through them on the field.
Let's have fun, son.
Yeah, bring my spit.
I've been prepping this all week.
I haven't talked in a week.
My mouth is nothing good spit.
Oh, dear.
There you go.
Amazing.
Thank you, Mikey.
Thank you, Michael.
You're welcome.
I've got a question here from John Lee,
who says,
if you could create your very own crisps,
what flavor would they be and what would be their shape?
That's at John Lee 421 on Twitter.
Oh, interesting putting in the shape as well.
That does affect the taste.
When I chose this question, I was facetiously,
well, maybe not even facetiously.
I'm not sure how serious I was,
but I was going to suggest petrol flavor,
as in the smell of petrol,
not what I imagine the taste of petrol might be,
is probably horrible.
But then I remembered this really weird thing,
that happened once with some family friends that me and my siblings and my parents used to go
and stay with sometimes and we would have like a lot of alcohol and like nibbles and things
and one time my my mom had thought oh we need to we need to take some nibbles with us and we
grabbed this bag of like kettle chips or something like some quite nice relatively nice brand
crisps and we took them and they were poured into a bowl and people started eating them
And there was sort of a
kind of an Emperor's new clothes
Emperor's new suit thing where like everyone
around the room was thinking the same thing
but no one wanted to be the first one to say it
we were like, hmm
these crisps taste
of like petrol.
This is weird.
And they were salt, I think they were salt and vinegar
but they were out of date.
They must have been sitting in the cupboard for a long time.
And for some reason, out of date
salt and vinegar crisps,
apparently seem to sort of ferment or I don't know exactly.
Is it balsamic vinegar or something?
Yeah, it might be something to do with the balsamic vinegar or yeah.
Maybe they didn't, it did taste.
We all, everyone independently came up with petrol as a thing,
but maybe it was actually a kind of a bad kind of vinegar.
Like, you know, when wine goes off,
it turns to quote unquote vinegar, but it's not the kind of vinegar
you were putting on your uh chips like maybe it was it turned from good vinegar to bad vinegar
or something but yeah they tasted like petrol and it was not good um so crude oil flavored crisps
yeah delicious delicious oil spill um so if i can't have petrol i'm going to say um extinguished
matches okay interesting i think that's a really nice smell no never even one of those no never
read one of those but I think it's a really good smell
blown out candles
I mean it's better when you blow out a match than a candle
but yeah
yeah birthday cake smell
yeah birthday cake smell pretty much
and it would be shaped
maybe each one would be shaped like a tiny
birthday cake and they would be birthday crisps
lovely
I'm erring on the side of a sweet
crisp I don't know
I think
Just like obviously
Usually crisps are pretty salty
But if you eradicate that
What kind of canvas is a plain bit of potato
Like what could you put upon it
And jam donut, maybe
Maybe like
The potato might create some kind of
Analog to the dough
And then a little bit of jam
Jam dust on it
You have a banger
I can see that being all right
And I know what you're getting at
The potato just becomes the
The starchy base
Yeah
Yeah. Yeah. I think, I think, hmm. Yeah, I don't think I've ever actually seen any kind of sweet-based crisps on the market ever. And I'd buy those in an instant just to see what they're like. Maybe it wouldn't ever get a return customer because they're awful. But I think there's intrigue in there. I mean, I guess if I'm going to do donut flavored crisps, I've got to be little little donuts as well. Maybe, or maybe they're like cheese puffs, but not cheesy. Donut puffs. Donut lineas.
yeah you can't stay sorry sorry sorry
my bad my bad
I thought
oh yeah
no I think yeah
I think I'm going to stick
donut
jam donut
maybe a whole line
every bit there's lots of flavours of donut
you can do a whole
yeah
whole range great
good
I'd try it
I'd try it
Ben
um
hmm
hmm
I think
I would quite like
a spicy crisp
but
spicier than the the spicy crisps that are currently available
because they're not spicy really
are they like chili heat wave Doritos come on
those taste sweet
so maybe some sort of Nando's
hot sauce style flavored crisp
you get one for each like spice level wow
yeah I particularly like the medium Nando's
garlic hot sauce. I think that's very good. I have a big old jar of that jar, bottle of that
in my cupboard that I put on a lot of food and it's really lovely. And I would have the shape of
crisp be like kettle, kettle crisps, kettle chips. So like really sort of, I don't know,
what would you describe the texturized? There's no uniform shape really. They're sort of round,
but they're quite thin and quite um thin but firm yes firm yeah maybe that's it maybe that's it
very crunchy but quite uh quite firm and they're quite nice when they're a bit brown those
kettle chips i think they're a bit crispy I should hopefully all be crispy I like the soft
one yeah oh I'll tell you what I do actually get rid of the birthday cake shape I would have they're
all normal kind of crisps, except they're all folded crisps.
All the crisps are the best ones. Oh, the special ones.
Wish crisps, yeah.
Wish crisps. We've had this conversation a long time ago.
I've never had, until you told me of wish crisps, I'd never heard them called that.
And I'd forgotten until today.
Oh, God, a bag of wish crisp would genuinely like make my year.
That's such, that's a brilliant idea. That's a million dollar idea.
Someone should process.
folding of crisps yeah oh yeah there we go uh lovely well um i've got a thing here thank you to
multiple people who told me to do this i've actually already it was it was always the plan um
but i appreciate it all the same uh it is time with the end of the edinburgh fringe this year
uh having uh a time of recording it was only a few
days ago that it finished. I have found an article. There are several already with the best
jokes of the fringe this year. Uh-oh. Yeah, uh-oh. I'm going to tell you my classic, well-delivered
style. And at the moment, I can't seem to find any worst jokes of the year, which I have done
sometimes in previous years. I don't think I've done it every year. But anyway, we're going to do the best
ones and see what we all think.
So, these are numbered 1 to 10.
I don't know which order they are.
I don't know if I'm about to read the very best one first or vice versa.
But anyway, Maasai Graham brings us joke number one.
And he says, I tried to steal spaghetti from the shop.
But the female guard saw me and I couldn't get pasta.
Rubbish.
Really?
That's rubbish.
That's, that's top 10 material.
It's top ten. It may even be the number one.
I don't know, which, as I say, the order of the thing.
That feels like a joke as old as time.
Yeah.
That's a new joke.
The fact that even has to say the female guard just to set up past her just makes it worse as well.
It's like getting your uncle who makes balloon animals in his spare time to come to your party.
He's got a pot on some entertainment.
So he's reading from like a 50-year-old joke book that's all withered and horrible.
And that's what he pulls out.
I mean, I'm not wanting to be a judge you about comedy.
I'm not a funny man myself, but I could do better than that.
My God.
You could.
I'm angry already.
This is sucks.
Okay, well, I'll give you another one.
This is from Mark Simmons, who says,
Did you know, if you get pregnant in the Amazon, it's next day delivery.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I mean, it works.
Yeah.
It makes sense.
I get it
But I ain't laughing
Yeah
Okay
Number three comes from Olaf
Falafel who I believe one
Best joke in a previous year
Possibly last year
I recognise his face
He says
Oh this is a really bad one
It's a bit easier
My attempts to combine
Nitrous oxide and oxo cubes
Made me a laughing stock
Oh. That's good. All right. I like that. Okay. That's got, yeah. No, that's creative. I'll take that. That's all right.
I don't like that one. I get it, but I just think it's a bit out there. I like that. No, that's good. That's good. I'm giving that one a big thumbs up. That's one of the few ones is properly, properly got me.
So that's your joke of the year so far, Mikey. So far. Yeah. Number four is from Hannah Fairweather, who says, by my age, my parents had a house and a family. And to be fair to me,
so do I but it is the same house and it is the same family yeah I think that's quite
I like that one that's good that's good that's all right yeah relatable it is it really is
this is from Will Mars number five who says I hate funerals I'm not a morning person
that's almost definitely not original though is it it's like that's yeah probably not
Yeah
Yeah
Number six
Also comes from Olaf falafel
The man who did the OxoCubes one
He says
I spent the whole morning building a time machine
So that's four hours of my life
That I'm definitely getting back
Okay
Yeah
Yeah
Didn't laugh but
Get it
I did a little snort
I don't think it came through on Discord
Okay right
It was all right
It was all right
Number seven, from Richard Pulseford, who says,
I sent a food parcel to my first wife, FedEx.
That's kind of good.
It's a bit silly, isn't it?
I mean, it's a solid pun.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a good word play.
The next one's from Tim Vine.
We know that one.
Ooh.
Yeah.
He said, I used to live hand to mouth.
Do you know what changed my life?
Cutlery.
Oh, boo.
That's a groaner, that one.
It's not even a groaner, because you sort of laugh at groaners.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Number nine is from Sophie Duker, who says,
don't knock threesomes.
Having a threesome is like hiring an intern to do all the jobs you hate.
It's all right.
It's not really a joke.
I mean, it is a joke, but like, it just feels like almost like an actual observation
to be honest
not really a punch line
yeah
to that one
yeah
and finally
number 10
which again
this might be
the best joke
of the fringe
this is gonna be
the best joke
Peter
it's got to be the best
one
yeah
because all the others
have been
rubbish
so this must be
it
this has got to be
it
it's got to be the good one
okay
Will Duggan
Vidiot's joke
of the year
Fringe
2022
says
I can't even
be bothered
to app
oh no
I fucked
I fucked it up
he says
I can't even
be bothered
to be
These days
Oh no
Peter that was bad too
Yeah it was
I must have
This must be wrong
This must be the wrong order
The wrong ones
I think you've got the wrong list
Yeah that must be the top ten
Worst jokes of the fringe
Where are the good ones at
Huh?
I don't know it might take the news out
That's a little bit longer
To come up with the
The ten worst
I mean ten best
Because that was definitely the ten worst
But yeah
That's a shame
I know I think we say this every time
it's obviously it's different being Reddit
you know like this than it is being in a room
of other happy
What are you talking about Mikey?
What do you mean? What you're saying?
I think the delivery is identical to the intent.
Yeah.
I'd really, I really want to like
well at VidCon when we put on our own video
to convention which is definitely happening one day
but we'll have their show where we read
just back to back nonstop every top 10
jokes from the Frangency, if we get any laughs.
And that'd be the real gauge.
But God, that, that was rough.
It was, wasn't it?
I feel like that might have been one of the worst years so far.
Yeah, it probably has been.
I have just found an article on Capital FM with the 10 worst jokes, but I'm trying to find,
I just want to establish whether this is an old article.
It doesn't have the year anywhere on there.
The only hope I'll have.
is if any of the jokes like cross over and someone's called one of these the worst and one
and the best no I don't know I can read oh no these are all top 10 oh there's four
best of the worst down at the bottom I don't know if this is from this year but I'll read
four four of these best of the worst according to capital FM Tim Vine
uncle Ben has died no more mr. Rice guy
That's one of the better ones I've heard.
It is, isn't it?
And that's labeled best of the worst.
Card Ninja says, this is a long one, and keep in mind I've not read these ahead of time.
So if I stumble, we'll go with it.
Card Ninja says, I went to see this show and the guy said, hey, kid, do you like magic?
And I said, yeah.
So he asked if I wanted to see a trick.
And I said, yeah.
So he said, think of a number, times it by two.
and if it's odd
oh no
he's a math magician
yeah
I don't like that one
no what that's rubbish
oh
yeah that's
wow
that's earned its place there
it's just a worse version
of the Simpsons
where the guy literally says
I'm a math magician
so
never mind
Tom Webb
says due to the
economy, profiteroles will now be called deficit eroles.
Oh, fuck off.
That's great.
That's great.
I hate that one.
No, that's good.
Profitoroles.
Deficiturals.
I like it, I think.
Well, we found the title of the podcast episode, I suppose, but at what cost?
Yeah.
And finally, from Paul Daniels, is he even still alive?
This must be from previous year.
I think Paul Daniels is dead.
Oh, no.
It's in 1922.
He said, I said to this fella, is there a B and Q in Henley?
He said, no, there's an H, an E, an N, an L and a Y.
No.
Oh, Paul, you card.
Rubbish.
Stop.
I'm going to find out if Paul Daniels is dead because he might not be, but I think he is.
Yes, he is.
He's dead.
when did he die
2016
so how the fuck is he on this list then
Paul Daniels is a pretty common name
maybe that's just comedian Paul Daniel
true all right
it could even be 2022
I don't know but
who knows
thanks capital for not putting a flipping date
on your article that's great
got a final question here
it's from Victoria Machoni
at evil blowfish on Twitter
who says what have you spent
way too much money on
slightly inspired by Ben's Game Boy

for a minute when I saw this question
I thought we'd done it before but I think we've done it
on poddy it on
a triple jump after dark
me and me and Ben but I don't think we've done it on
poddios
if you spent too much money on
I'm looking around my room
I've got a lot of crap but it's all cheap crap
this PC
that I'm recording this on is the most expensive
the single most expensive thing I've ever bought.
Is it?
What about your car?
Oh, it's really close, actually.
Yeah, it's about the same.
That sort of says it all, doesn't it?
It does.
This PC is an investment.
Yeah.
My God, it's going to pay off.
But, yeah, probably, you're right, probably my car.
But my car was fortunately purchased with,
yeah, it's a boring answer.
And also it was bought with dead relative money.
And it, I say,
only it was it was only
1500 pounds
it's not like a really expensive car and
I've also been driving it for like eight years
you've got your money's worth and it's not
definitely have it's not you can
buy an expense like I've
just bought a house right so
but that's not so that's the most expensive
thing I've ever bought and obviously I've not paid it off
yet it'll take me until I'm 60
but it's not
like a silly it's not too much money
because it was valued correctly if you see what I mean
so if there's something it's more
like what have you, the Game Boys, for example, you know, another person who's not into games might
think, you've spent how much on Game Boys? You know what I mean? Whereas someone would not say that
about a car necessarily. No, they wouldn't. They wouldn't. So what have I? I mean, I've bought
bits and bobs of like gaming memorabilia that I probably shouldn't have done. I've bought
Prima guides that were, I mean, not super expensive, but considering it's just an
old tatty magazine you know i've spent like sometimes 30 40 quid on some rare ones um i know i would
spend silly money on if and when one is listed on ebay and they only get listed every now and then
but the the press kit for spire of the dragon uh one uh comes with this big it's like a big cardboard
treasure chest thing and it's got like booklets in it with assets in there that you don't see
anywhere else and all this kind of stuff so i would they go for i mean last time i saw one listed
was a couple of years ago and it was going for like 300 quid and i would definitely it would be
more expensive now i bet and i would probably still actually pay that much for that so that's a
hypothetical one from me yeah i'm going to start with a hypothetical one uh because i i i have
This has always been in my mind.
It'd be really fun to own, like a light gun arcade cabinet.
I think that would be the most fun thing ever.
But I think if I was going to choose, like, any game, it would be, like, point blank.
Okay.
It's kind of like mini-game one with all the little challenges to find a linear story thing.
I think, yeah, like, if I had even the room or the money, I would so do that.
But in terms of actual money, I've thrown down the drain.
A couple of years ago, I got, like, really back in.
the jackass and kind of like more more than just the service level of it but more like the
behind the scenes and how it came to be and all that I find it really fascinating still do I think
it's wonderful I love these idiots who hurt themselves for money yeah great um so I and I
realized I started looking around for some stuff on eBay and I found um a jackass like 10 year
anniversary book that they released um I think I paid a 120 pound for it it's like it's a
collector's item. It's got a lovely gold foil cover, but like what is essentially a book full of
men getting hurt and showing off the willies and waving them around, that's quite a steep purchase.
And then obviously to go with that, I had to buy another book about the magazine that came before
Jackass. I think again, that was about a similar price. Yeah, that book's called shit.
That's great. So you spent 120 pounds on shit. Yeah, it's great.
Excellent.
I've got some joy out of them.
It's good to have.
It's an investment.
I'm hoping one day they'll skyrocket and value.
I'll retire on that money,
but for now they sit on my shelves with all.
I literally have so many shelves.
Maybe actually my whole money pit is books in general,
because Jesus Christ,
I've bought so many books over the years thinking,
I'll get to this one day.
And I think I must have about 60 now.
I've never even opened.
I just think, that sounds interesting.
I'm sure I'll read that eventually.
One day I'll get the bug and start reading.
Nope.
Not yet.
Yeah, I bought a, it's like a local interest book, like a local history book from where I grew up.
And it was this first edition book that was written in like the late 1800s.
It was really, because it was never reprinted.
It was like written by this local figure and they did like one run of printing in literally pre-1900.
And they're still floating around, but you can't get like a newer copy of it.
And I really wanted a copy.
And that was like 80, 90 quid for this hardback book,
which is, that's a lot of money, really, for a single book on anything.
Tell me about it.
Oh, me over here with my jackass book.
At least yours is respectable.
This is just degenerate.
Well, it's all the same.
I'd be interested in a jackass, reading your jackass book, Mikey.
I'm sure it's worth every penny.
Well, you can come over one day, but eat ice cream.
and read our jackass books.
Excellent.
Sounds I should trade.
Yeah.
Yeah, we should.
Yeah.
Great.
Well, thank you everyone for listening.
That's it.
That's all the questions.
That's all the things.

Garments.

Yeah, I think so.
Maybe.
What's wavy mean in that context?
You can't describe wavy, Ben.
It's a feeling.
It's just, it's an experience.
If you don't know what waiving means, you're not wavy.
Yeah.
If you want to, if you understand what wavy gams are, then you can, oh,
not if you want to attain wavy gams. It stores for everybody.

for a stream of all three of us together later in the year.
But then I can't remember.
what that was and I can't find it in my calendar

in the end. Did it November at some point?
Did we specify a date? I can't
remember whether we did. I think we might have done but I
just can't remember. I think we did actually, didn't we?
Anyway, we'll have a conversation
about that after we stopped
recording. But soon, maybe
