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. 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.
Starting point is 00:01:12 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
Starting point is 00:01:44 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
Starting point is 00:02:07 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.
Starting point is 00:02:27 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.
Starting point is 00:02:45 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
Starting point is 00:03:13 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.
Starting point is 00:03:36 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.
Starting point is 00:03:49 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.
Starting point is 00:04:07 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.
Starting point is 00:04:34 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.
Starting point is 00:04:51 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...
Starting point is 00:05:10 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.
Starting point is 00:05:35 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.
Starting point is 00:05:59 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.
Starting point is 00:06:16 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
Starting point is 00:06:28 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.
Starting point is 00:06:48 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?
Starting point is 00:07:06 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.
Starting point is 00:07:32 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
Starting point is 00:07:57 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.

Starting point is 00:13:33 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.
Starting point is 00:13:44 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.
Starting point is 00:14:00 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
Starting point is 00:14:32 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.
Starting point is 00:15:03 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
Starting point is 00:15:37 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
Starting point is 00:16:33 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,
Starting point is 00:17:12 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
Starting point is 00:17:29 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
Starting point is 00:18:11 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
Starting point is 00:18:25 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
Starting point is 00:18:34 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
Starting point is 00:18:51 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
Starting point is 00:19:06 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,
Starting point is 00:19:25 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
Starting point is 00:19:45 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.
Starting point is 00:20:12 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...
Starting point is 00:20:45 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.
Starting point is 00:21:05 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
Starting point is 00:21:21 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.
Starting point is 00:21:36 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.
Starting point is 00:21:56 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
Starting point is 00:22:07 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.
Starting point is 00:22:22 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.
Starting point is 00:22:34 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
Starting point is 00:23:10 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.
Starting point is 00:23:59 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
Starting point is 00:24:36 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
Starting point is 00:24:51 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
Starting point is 00:25:26 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,
Starting point is 00:25:52 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.
Starting point is 00:26:35 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.
Starting point is 00:27:00 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
Starting point is 00:27:29 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
Starting point is 00:27:46 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,
Starting point is 00:28:06 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.
Starting point is 00:28:26 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.
Starting point is 00:28:57 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,
Starting point is 00:29:23 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.
Starting point is 00:29:40 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.
Starting point is 00:30:02 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
Starting point is 00:30:25 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.
Starting point is 00:30:54 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
Starting point is 00:31:29 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.
Starting point is 00:32:18 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
Starting point is 00:33:01 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,
Starting point is 00:33:54 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
Starting point is 00:34:45 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 second or third let's do me if you don't mind yeah
Starting point is 00:35:18 while other money managers are holding dynamic is hunting seeing past the horizon investing beyond the benchmark because your money can't grow if it doesn't move learn more at dynamic
Starting point is 00:35:34 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.
Starting point is 00:35:58 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
Starting point is 00:36:30 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
Starting point is 00:37:03 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.
Starting point is 00:37:42 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
Starting point is 00:38:01 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,
Starting point is 00:38:32 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.
Starting point is 00:39:07 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.
Starting point is 00:39:23 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.
Starting point is 00:39:42 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,
Starting point is 00:39:58 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,
Starting point is 00:40:29 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
Starting point is 00:40:41 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
Starting point is 00:40:57 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
Starting point is 00:41:17 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.
Starting point is 00:41:46 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,
Starting point is 00:42:14 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.
Starting point is 00:42:42 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.
Starting point is 00:43:05 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.
Starting point is 00:43:22 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.
Starting point is 00:43:37 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
Starting point is 00:43:51 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.
Starting point is 00:44:07 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,
Starting point is 00:44:21 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,
Starting point is 00:44:41 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
Starting point is 00:45:12 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.
Starting point is 00:45:31 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.
Starting point is 00:45:41 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,
Starting point is 00:46:06 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
Starting point is 00:46:26 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
Starting point is 00:46:59 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.
Starting point is 00:47:17 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.
Starting point is 00:47:44 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
Starting point is 00:48:22 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
Starting point is 00:48:39 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
Starting point is 00:48:57 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
Starting point is 00:49:11 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
Starting point is 00:49:50 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
Starting point is 00:49:59 yeah whole range great good I'd try it I'd try it Ben um hmm
Starting point is 00:50:08 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
Starting point is 00:50:26 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,
Starting point is 00:51:05 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.
Starting point is 00:51:50 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
Starting point is 00:52:29 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.
Starting point is 00:53:14 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.
Starting point is 00:53:36 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.
Starting point is 00:54:02 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.
Starting point is 00:54:19 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.
Starting point is 00:54:37 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
Starting point is 00:54:50 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
Starting point is 00:55:06 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
Starting point is 00:56:04 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
Starting point is 00:56:20 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
Starting point is 00:56:30 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.
Starting point is 00:56:48 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.
Starting point is 00:57:01 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.
Starting point is 00:57:25 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
Starting point is 00:57:34 and finally number 10 which again this might be the best joke of the fringe this is gonna be the best joke
Starting point is 00:57:40 Peter it's got to be the best one yeah because all the others have been rubbish so this must be
Starting point is 00:57:44 it this has got to be it it's got to be the good one okay Will Duggan Vidiot's joke of the year
Starting point is 00:57:49 Fringe 2022 says I can't even be bothered to app oh no I fucked
Starting point is 00:57:55 I fucked it up he says I can't even be bothered to be These days Oh no Peter that was bad too
Starting point is 00:58:06 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
Starting point is 00:58:16 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
Starting point is 00:58:27 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?
Starting point is 00:58:43 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.
Starting point is 00:59:03 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.
Starting point is 00:59:28 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?
Starting point is 01:00:02 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.
Starting point is 01:00:28 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
Starting point is 01:00:42 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
Starting point is 01:00:54 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.
Starting point is 01:01:12 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.
Starting point is 01:01:30 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.
Starting point is 01:01:49 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
Starting point is 01:02:07 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
Starting point is 01:02:22 at evil blowfish on Twitter who says what have you spent way too much money on slightly inspired by Ben's Game Boy Collection 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
Starting point is 01:02:37 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
Starting point is 01:02:55 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.
Starting point is 01:03:12 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
Starting point is 01:03:27 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
Starting point is 01:03:43 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
Starting point is 01:04:07 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
Starting point is 01:05:00 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.
Starting point is 01:05:34 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
Starting point is 01:06:10 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.
Starting point is 01:06:51 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,
Starting point is 01:07:05 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.
Starting point is 01:07:18 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,
Starting point is 01:07:55 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.
Starting point is 01:08:16 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.
