Starting point is 00:02:26 podcast of the Vidiot's YouTube We had two episodes in the role where we did it properly and you know what I think we should be proud of that Yeah we gave it a good go At some point in this episode you have to say And I'm Michael I know I was hoping no one would say that
Starting point is 00:02:38 And I could just drop it in there I'm already like I'm already just on that wavelength And I needed to address it I'm sorry that's fine Let's just wait I'm not I'm no no No you'll do it Later on that's fine
Starting point is 00:02:49 Okay This podcast we sort of It's a conversational podcast We take questions from you guys at home as well as sort of obeying the rules. Do you have any homeless listeners? You say you're at home. Some people don't have homes.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Well, you listening, then. How do you listen to a podcast if you don't have a home? Because you plug the phone into your house to listen. You can have a phone. Is it like a... Those people have phones. Wait, Disney pie on the windowsill type situation. They hear poddietts and they float towards it.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Where do you get the electricity from if you live on the street? Batteries. Yep, there's power banks. They live in shelters and stuff. Where do you get the data from? Money? If you've got money, why don't you have a house? Maybe they've stolen a phone.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Is this serious? Well, not quite. Fuck's sake. I mean, I don't think it's... If you have money for a phone, how come you can't afford a mortgage? Shut up! You're feeding your dog. Shut.
Starting point is 00:03:41 What are you doing on the street? Just shut up. Shut up about it. We obey and abide by the rules of the three us, where everybody brings a thing along to talk about. So we're going to do that and then pepper in some questions as well. I would first quite like to thank Turtle Beach for sponsoring this podcast, bit.L.Y, forward slash Bidiot's Beach.
Starting point is 00:04:03 And you can also buy some merchandise as well, store.orgascast.com. We're working on some new designs. Oh my God, they're so fucking good. I'm so excited. There's some great designs. I mean, they've not been illustrated yet, but the concepts alone.
Starting point is 00:04:12 I'm fucking sold. Strong concepts. Strong concepts. Yeah, very, very good. Well done. And you're... Well done. Both of you.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Who are you? Nearly. Nearly. I'm going to get him at some point. before before we get started on our first question slash a thing I would like to give a shout out to George who accosted me in the park at about 11pm he apologised because when I went to shake his hand
Starting point is 00:04:36 he said he'd been eating donuts George whatever it was that you were on or smoking I hope it was great because there's nobody who's sober eating donuts in a park at 10pm and also can you hook us up yes please well I'm okay we get weed donuts is that thing certainly weed nuts weed nuts Got him. Got him. Got him. Peter, you've also, you were sort of absent from a couple of videos recently.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Yeah. And it's not because you're unwell or you're running away. And a stream. Well, it kind of is both of those things. To a certain degree. I suppose so. Depends how much you want to say, really. It's not that thing or that thing. Well, it kind of is. No. Yeah, I was absent from a couple of videos. Essentially, I'm just moving back further north to be closer to my mind. nearest and dearest or not nearest at the moment that's the problem they're my furthest and
Starting point is 00:05:27 dearest well you're the nearest you're the nearest you're the nearest and nearest okay okay but there are some furthest and dearer people to me uh who uh namely my my lovely partner and yeah and my family as well and uh so i have uh decided to edit remotely which can be done anywhere. Yeah. But I was at the internet. Bop down frequently to just do batch recordings with the lads. The boys, boys, boys.
Starting point is 00:05:57 And the whole idea is that it actually won't impact, in theory, it won't impact whatsoever in the actual output from me or from any of us. But there might literally just be times when I'm not around, I'm editing in the north. And Michael and Ben are sitting around going, do you want to like just do a video playing like worms or whatever and it's like why wouldn't they? So they might do so everything that I have been doing will continue to happen
Starting point is 00:06:25 but there might just be some extra stuff where it's just been in Mikey. You get to see more of me, everybody's favourite everybody's favourite, everybody's favourite micry, body's favourite you might miss out on a stream every now and then as well because we want to do that regularly I'll probably be in like maybe every other one or something like that
Starting point is 00:06:40 but yeah essentially you're not you're not losing out on any hashtag Peter content It's just you might get additional only Ben and Michael content. Wowy. Yeah. So, yeah, you're just getting a bonus. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:06:53 It's nice. And that's fine. Yeah, and that's okay. It's okay. Yeah, just want to go and feel a bit better up in the north. That's fair enough, man. Where I'm happy. You do it.
Starting point is 00:07:03 And you're staying with me this week? I am. Are you unhappy staying with me? Is that an issue? Yeah. Do you want to get out of that player straight away? It's horrendous. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Why? What's wrong with you? You see, you call me farty pants. Ben potter over here. Yeah, I'm an entire room away and it's still an issue. Seeps through the walls. Is it just the financial side of it?
Starting point is 00:07:23 Is it you stay and I charge you too much? Yeah, I mean, it's a bit hard. I mean, yeah, to be fair, Ben, that's normal, right? I paid twice the rent that I was paying in my own flat. But is that not normal? I thought you charge people to stay with you. I mean, I guess you are giving access to the fridge,
Starting point is 00:07:36 but I don't know. Well, yeah, well, no, actually. No, no, is that not included? I'm allowed to stick, like, drawings to the fridge, but I'm not allowed to take anything out of the fridge. I've taken away the step ladder and stuff. Yeah, you can't reach. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:46 But, you know, you have access to water and some, some... Cold water. You're allowed one shot of water a day. Yeah. That's for your showers as well. Yeah. And I'm allowed to plug into the power outlets, but not turn them on at the wall. He's got one of those ones where, like, you put the pound coins into operator.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Yeah, yeah. But I think that's fair, because that costs money. Yeah, I'm all about it. I'm, you know, it's fine. And you're okay with the rent that you're paying... Because I do make you pay monthly rent, even though you only come for, like, six days. Yeah, like six days a month. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Yeah. I mean, I don't really have another choice. Yeah, you've got to be okay with that, really. The thing is, if you can afford a phone, you can afford to stay at Ben's house. That's the rule. That's how it works, isn't it? Sweet. Let's, oh, actually, no, again, we can't do it yet, because this weekend we're going to I-63.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Oh, boy, our first insomnia. Yeah, a very last-minute thing. We're not going to be at the signing table because there's no room for us, because we were a last-minute addition. And actually, even at the time of recording, it's still not set in stone. So check our social media platforms to be certain if we're going to be there. Don't come just for us as lovely as that would be. But if you're there, we're going to be around. We'll do like a tweet like, hey, meet us at the hot dog stand.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Yeah. Hot dogs for everyone. Crunchy hot dogs. Crunchy convention hot dogs. Oh, yeah. Delicious. With Macentain, may contain meat. When you say it's not set in stone, do you mean us being actually at the stand?
Starting point is 00:09:03 Yeah. No, no. But we don't have tickets yet. Oh, right. Yeah, no, I was going to say. It seems like it's definitely happening. But we don't know for sure when we're recording this. So, yeah, if you're going to be there, check out our social media and we'll be tweeting.
Starting point is 00:09:15 all about it. I'm told that we will have some merch there to buy if you want to. I don't know if that's going to include... I assume that might include the limited edition show. We'll tweet about it. If it is, then obviously go and get that because it's well good. We can't buy those anymore. But there, we're going to be there.
Starting point is 00:09:31 I-63. Admin. Oh, Saturday. Saturday. Saturday's, yeah. We're just going to be there on Saturday. Just going to be there for a couple hours, yeah. Yeah. Anyway, let's start things off with a question, shall we, boys? This is from Ode to Sleep at Ode to Sleep 649. I know that. I know that name too.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Now you're all settled and doing a job you love. But what were your very first jobs? If you haven't had that already, if you haven't had that already. If you haven't. Just curious. I read that with the wrong cadence. We've spoken about previous jobs before. What was your very first job that you got money for?
Starting point is 00:10:06 I guess it was, I worked in a supermarket. I watched a J.R. Sainsbury's. Lovely. Is it R? the middle of it. I don't know. It's Jay Sane's bringing. I don't know. I was on the the fruit and vegetable section. Oh, boy. Nice. And I, oh my God, it was so bad.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Like, retail is difficult enough with just the women or men who always want to see the manager just because you blinked. Yeah, it's, oh my God, how day. Yeah. But on top of that, I had this shift on a Sunday. The last shift before...
Starting point is 00:10:41 The Lord's Day. The Lord's Day. the last shift, well the shop closed while I was on shift and then there were like two hours after that where I was still working and that was the worst one because once the shop had closed you had to do a stock take like at the end of week stock take and that fell to me and not only was it a pain in the ass having to literally count out apples
Starting point is 00:11:04 oh my god one by one but then I had to like go and put them onto this spreadsheet that just had all these columns that just had fucking acronyms in there and I had no idea what they were for and I never really worked it out and I left like with him. Did you just put rough numbers into the box? Yeah, vaguely
Starting point is 00:11:22 I just sort of got it right. 69 for every entry exactly. The great produce crisis That was you. Yeah. You caused the great produce crisis. That's why we ran out of cauliflower for a year in Yorkshire. Peter wasn't counting in probably. Peter was hoarding 10 million cauliflower. This is the fourth time I've been in the shop this month and you got no cauliflower.
Starting point is 00:11:39 I've had to go to Burger King The only reason I had that job Well the main reason was Because it was when I was learning to drive So it was just funding the ridiculously extortionate Yeah Past time of learning to drive It's fun
Starting point is 00:11:53 What a fun hobby it is I essentially wasted about 400 quid on learning to drive Because I got halfway through my lessons And then just stopped Oh my Mikey I did my I passed my theory test And now that's going to expire at the end of this year Whoopsie Daisy
Starting point is 00:12:07 Oh well I don't need to drive For a long time as well Yeah It took me a while before I went back to it. I really. I did it in one, but I've never...
Starting point is 00:12:15 So you do have your own car now. I do use it, whereas I've never had my own car. I've only ever used, like, the family car. Yeah. Because I've never lived in a place where I've needed to drive. Oh. But in Newcastle, you know, the metro, Bristol, like, everything's pretty convenient if you live in the centre.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Like, yes. There'll be some Americans watching right now. I'll think, oh my God, you don't drive. That's such a foreign concept. Yeah. Which, fair enough, America is very much a drivey country. You need to drive there And I guess it's actually pretty
Starting point is 00:12:42 That's fairly easy to learn to drive there Don't need to learn stick Yeah, you use automatic That sounds so fun Just like go carts To put your foot down I'm going Wow, don't have to think about gearing up and down
Starting point is 00:12:53 My first job I don't have accounts But I did like a bit of graphic design work As a kid Like got like 20 quid here and there Doing stuff for people But my first proper official legal job was
Starting point is 00:13:04 MacDonald's Their fucking hellhole I wanted to die I wanted to die. Okay. God, I remember the first time rocking up there, my first shift. My heart was, like, just sinking. My body was like, I don't want to do this.
Starting point is 00:13:17 I'm so fucking nervous. And that feeling never went away for six months. Jesus, Michael. Yeah, it was fucking horrible. I mean, like, it wasn't that bad. No, it was. It was. You snuck out those free nugs.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Oh, I got so many nuggies. Did you? So many nuggies. Was that allowed? No, no, but, I mean, everyone did it. Like, it was just a case of, like... You can put on the fancy burgers on the grill and just have a little snack. I put on so much weight of that so bad
Starting point is 00:13:40 because every lunch was like okay cool I'm wrap large fries McFlurry whatever the hell whatever hell else I want It's just like Go home all right time for McFurray on my way home It was so bad You needed it to cook
Starting point is 00:13:51 But I think The only thing about that was From the day I started I was always on grill duty I was always burger boy And I wanted to be on fucking front desk Because that was easy Just boop boop boop boop
Starting point is 00:14:02 I can have some doubles please Boop boop boop thank you And you didn't have to fucking sweat over a grill and burn yourself. There was a Round Trees factory near where I used to live. And I don't know if this is actually true, but I heard that if you worked on the production line at this Round Trees factory,
Starting point is 00:14:18 you were allowed to eat as much of it as you liked because I think the logic was that you would eventually just get sick of it. Yeah. Yeah, I did work experience at a place called the Handmade Cake Company, which is a wonderful place that does brilliant cakes. And yeah, I did work experience there. And so I worked in the various different places. and they had to take one slice out of one cake per batch
Starting point is 00:14:39 as quality control. Right. And so there was always a cake per batch that they then couldn't sell. Their staff room was just stacked like floor to ceiling with cakes because nobody fucking wanted them. And I was like, I'll take the lot. Work experience is all new to me.
Starting point is 00:14:54 We'll take the lot. Anything out of the staff room do you? I'll take the lot. I had a similar thing though when I worked for Marks and Spencer and I literally just like used to rip into packs of Percy pigs and go, work. And I'd put it out the back And then every time I walk past it up
Starting point is 00:15:09 Here's a person Put this on the shelf Oh, that's such a good idea Just be like Oh I found this This was ripped open We're gonna have to just I used to just rip
Starting point is 00:15:15 I was so blatant about it I gave so few Fuck that job Fuck it Anyway My first job was a paper boy I was a paper boy I said see you lapar boy
Starting point is 00:15:24 Yeah And I used to go on my little Micro scooter Around the village And and throw the papers through the doors Again much easier in America
Starting point is 00:15:31 You can just lob them In the vague direction of a house But you had to poke them through Some of them had Dogs that were bite some of them. My dog used to do that.
Starting point is 00:15:38 What kind of spooky looking houses that I didn't really like to go up to because I built like stories in my head like I don't want to, you just flick my knee, Michael. That was totally unintentional. I'm a very fidgety person. Stop it.
Starting point is 00:15:49 No, no, there are other knees that you have your own knees to fiddle with. Needs must. Thank you. And yeah, that was my first job and it was not the greatest thing I've ever done in the world. But look at us now.
Starting point is 00:16:03 But just look at Bidal. But actually before I worked in Sainsbury's. I was earning like a few pounds a month on average on YouTube. Oh really? Wow. Out of just bedroom hobbyists Yogskast remixes and stuff. I think in my lifetime on YouTube I made one cent. A cent. A whole cent. Wow. Jesus. I made about 60 quid off YouTube before all the ads went to shit. Yeah. Tragedy. Awful. One final thing. Max Springer at max underscore Springer too also asked this
Starting point is 00:16:36 question. Oh, thanks, Max. Max and Ode to Sleep ask this thing. Who would like to do a thing? No one. Michael's too tired. Well, I can. I don't have a thing.
Starting point is 00:16:47 I'm just a topic as I tend to do. I'll do a thing. Okay. You do your thing. I have a thing as well, but you go first. Statistically speaking, this is an unlikely situation that we have before us here. I am a right-handed man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:00 And you two are left-handed men. And that's about one in ten people. But left-handed. The worst high-five. But here, we have a two-on-one situation. How does it feel, your minority, the scumbag? I really don't care. Oh.
Starting point is 00:17:15 And that's the truth of it. But guess what? I have an investment opportunity for you. Oh, no. Do you? Yes, you are both left-handed. Have you ever heard of the... Leftorium.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Of a company, they're called Razor. Oh, the gaming piece. They're worth $1 billion, approximately. A billion dollars. And they're looking for your help. You lefties. Yeah. Lefty Cucks.
Starting point is 00:17:37 There's a mouse that exists that they do. Called the Razor, I want to say, Neiger or Naga. Naga. Naga. Yeah, it's like a mythical snake, I think. Naga's. Razor Naga Trinity. Guess how much this mouse is worth?
Starting point is 00:17:54 It's the pretty high. I'm going to say like $79 quid. Is it a left-handed mouse? Is that where we're going with this? That's where we're going with this eventually. Yeah, like £100. Yeah, it's worth 80. Very good, Michael.
Starting point is 00:18:05 So this Razor Naga Trinity mouse is 80 pounds for a fucking mouse, right? And Razor, a billion dollar company, want to make a left-handed version. What? And they've already made left-handed mouse mice before. One left-handed mouse. They've made left-handed mouse. They've made one left-handed mouse. And so they already know how to do it.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Right. Kickstarter.com is where you can find this. Are they actually doing it on Kickstarter? They've kick-started this. But, okay. I mean, like, fair enough to gauge intro. I guess it's not a money thing. It's more just here's an interest thing
Starting point is 00:18:38 and also sell some mice. I suppose like it's... Flip the fucking blueprint, though. That's what you do. Guess how much they want. Oh, God. 130 quid, I think. To go on Photoshop and say layer flip horizontal.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Guess how much they want to make the left-handed Razanaga Trinity a reality. Guess how much? I'm sticking 130. I think it's going to be like double. They want $130 like as their goal. Oh, as a goal? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Oh. Like how much? they want to raise in this Kickstarter. It depends like what they're, what they're setting out to achieve. Did they want to start manufacturing it or they do want to design it or? There's a very, very pretentious video that goes with it where they're talking up the the importance of left-handed gamers and how hard they have it. I mean, I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:19:21 I learned to use it with my right hand. Yeah, I think a lot of people did. You just, if you're forced to do it, then you just learn to do it. I don't understand what work is required here because surely you just invert the design. I agree. I totally agree. They made other mice before. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:34 I'm going to say, how much you think they want. I'm going to say 3 million. Well, I think that's a bit excessive. I'm going to say like 200 grand. They want $1 million. No, they do not. To invert this mouse design. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Let's go to the first tier here. I could do it for them for 500,000 pounds. For one dollar. Yeah. This is... You get a jeerpeg of the mouse. This is the billion dollar company razor. For $1, this tier is called Pitch in for a good cause.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Oh, fuck off. for the top tier for $297 they'll send you a three pack of mice The tier The tier that gets you one mouse Is $89 Meaning that if you bought that three times
Starting point is 00:20:18 It would cost $267 Which is a $30 saving Over the top tier Do you get anything else in the top tier? I don't think so It just says a trifecter of mice That's... I guess shipping costs more Doesn't it for more mice
Starting point is 00:20:31 So while we're on the subject of this ridiculous kickstand Because it's not... Ridic starter. It is stupid. But let's talk about just PC gamer culture in general when it comes to advertising these things. Because the amount of stuff called Ultimate or Uber Experience. The Narga.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Everybody wants a comfy mouse or a keyboard. Yeah. But some of this buzzword nonsense, particularly when it comes to PC stuff, is outrageous. And so guess what? It's quiz time. Oh boy. I want to know which of the following is a headset, a mouse or a keyboard. See if you can tell me.
Starting point is 00:21:07 You ready? Yeah. First up, the Razor Mano War. Manor war. I think that's a keyboard? I'm going to say a mouse. It's a headset. Is it?
Starting point is 00:21:16 Portuguese man of war. It doesn't look any... It looks more like a mouse. Well, I'm sorry, I don't know what to tell you. The Razor Death Adder Elite. Oh, that's a keyboard. No, that's a mouse. It's a mouse.
Starting point is 00:21:28 It's a mouse. I've... Because you're stabbing away with your clicks. What about the Razor Hammerhead Beat? Hammerhead Possibly a head No, I'll say keyboard It's a double-ended dildo
Starting point is 00:21:41 It is a double-ended dildo Yes, well done Trick question It is a headset Headset Hammerhead Here's one, here's a fun one for you The Razor Black Widow
Starting point is 00:21:51 X tournament edition Chroma Fuck, that's keyboard It is a keyboard And finally The Razor Lancehead Tournament Edition black Lancehead Head set
Starting point is 00:22:03 Yeah headset because there's the word head again. It's a fucking mouse. Lance it. What? What's it called? I know Razor have made a billet. It's the Razor Lancehead tournament edition, Black. Wow.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Yeah. It's such pretentious bullshit. Like, yeah, I get PC gaming is a hobby. It's aggressive and weird. And they've, Razor have clearly done very well. Yeah. But at the same time, fuck me. It's kind of embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Yeah. It's a bit cringy, isn't it? It's a bit embarrassing. My mouse of choice, the Logitech MX Master, which I use for editing. It's fucking amazing. best mouse I've ever used. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:35 But, like, there's a promo video for it. It's so pretentious. Is it shot like a car advert? Yeah. Literally, yeah. You know how, like, when they're designing cars, get like wood things, that they kind of shave down the shape. It's like this guy kind of rubbing over the wood.
Starting point is 00:22:47 We've designed this mouse ergonomically. I mean, they did a good job, but fuck me. It will let you play YouTube videos and also pause them. Oh, my God. Just the push of a button, you can push the button. Never before seen features on a mouse. Scroll up, scroll down. Also, have you seen the Naga, just out.
Starting point is 00:23:04 interest. It's got a fucking like numpad on one of the sides. It's awful. It's like you slip and you've sort of restarted your computer with factory default settings. You've phoned your nan and sent her a dick pick. Yes. You haven't even taken a dick pick in your life. But guess what? My dick pick macro. Introducing did you raise a nago with added dick pick guessing functionality. We've got like some the rooms in here do have that mouse and it's really awkward to use because my normal grip is quite like firm. Yeah, I've got a fucking firm grip. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:35 And so like when I'm touching, I'm like, oh, hello buttons. It's fucking ridiculous. I hate that. Like, I hate a lot of the mouses we've got here anyway because they've got fucking flaps. Oh, fuck off. They've got loads of flaps on them.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Yeah, the G502 is a fucking solid mouse. Look, you can open it up and you can put weights inside. Oh, yeah. I don't get that personally, but that's fine. If you want to do that, it's okay. What's it called? Weird keyboards here where they have like G buttons down the side. Oh, that's the last one to the top and there's like G1 to 8 on the side.
Starting point is 00:24:02 The Razor. Lance Head Tournament Edition, Black. It's expensive, with just 18 days to go. Oh, good. How's it doing? Out of $1 million, how much money have they raised? I think hardly any, like $40,000. I feel like gamers and left-handed gamers probably have too much money, and they want this to happen.
Starting point is 00:24:22 They made a raise a billion-dollar company. Every left-handed gamer, though, probably plays really... I think it would be really difficult for a left-handed person who's been gaming for 10 years to suddenly pick up a mouse that is left-handed. I'm going to say 700K. So 40K, 700K. With just 18 days to go,
Starting point is 00:24:40 the $1 billion company, Razor, have razored $46,554. Oh, that's a bit painful. So hopefully they learned from that because they must have spent at least $5 million by their own estimation making that slick video announcing it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Just fucking make the mouse. You go on their store, they've already got left-handed mice available for sale. I do not. understand why it costs any amount of money to... They're already making mice. Many different mice.
Starting point is 00:25:10 It's just another one for the lineup. Yeah. I understand you want to gauge interest, but you just make a small batch at first. Just do a fucking straw pole. Yeah. Would you buy this? And also ask which hand do you wipe with?
Starting point is 00:25:21 What technique? Yeah. Standing, sitting. Oh, we didn't ask that. What hand do you wipe with? Right hand. Oh, shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:27 I'll have to do another one. Right hand. Left hand. Give it a pet. Give it a wipe. Let's move on to a question before we. we go on to another thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:34 This is from Smooth Smith. Smooth Smith, six. The sixth, smooth, the sixth, smoothest, smith. He asks, do you have, or she, do you have any plans for when you hit 50,000 subscribers? It's going to happen quickly, boys. I don't know about that. You're a liar. But, yeah, do we have any plans?
Starting point is 00:25:53 It'll be a special worst games, I imagine, of like a landmark shit game. Yeah, I think that's the first thing we want to do, is do, you know, we've got some games now on the shelf that are, classic worst games. Yeah, we've got Bubsy 3D, we've got Superman 64, we've got E.T, you know, the people are sending us like true dross, like the kings and queens of worse games. And these games are probably not going to be that entertaining to play
Starting point is 00:26:17 and the episode probably won't be half-noll, but it will still be a milestone episode and we will have played it. I think Superman 64 could be a funny one though. That game is, I've watched a playthrough of that game. It's just a fucking nightmare from start to finish. No, it does look so, so bad. We're getting closer and closer.
Starting point is 00:26:32 I think, to the portal goblin telling us it's time to open the case. Oh, my God. He's trying to prepare us for the ultimate worst game. And, you know, one day. He should probably check in on this soon, shouldn't they? Yeah. Although we're like four weeks ahead for recordings, but still. Well, we'll do.
Starting point is 00:26:49 He'll come in at some point. Yeah, maybe. Who fucking knows. Anyway. Yeah, 50K. I don't know when that's going to happen. Probably 2019. Yeah, probably.
Starting point is 00:26:58 According to our projection of analytics, we'll get a million subscribers. by in like five years sick which is yeah I don't think we'll still have this job in five years even if we did get a million subscribers before then so who knows but yeah tell your friends that'd be good tell your friends tell friends that'd be really nice and and you don't just have to tell your friends you know a really good way of doing it is posting on like relevant redits and things because it's not you know it's against the rules but we're not allowed to do that but red it's so good for just like yeah quote unquote viral if there's a video that you think is appropriate for a certain Reddit, go in there and shout about it.
Starting point is 00:27:32 That would really appreciate that. Oh my God, yeah. Speaking of, we did a video last week called Benging with Babish, which was a spoof of very brilliant YouTuber binging with Babish, where we sort of did a cooking show and just totally aped and ripped off his style. I don't know if by this point maybe we have got his attention, because we're recording this the week before this goes out. We're filming us four hours after the video went live.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Exactly. So we just want you to keep tweeting it at him and posting it. in his Reddit and just trying to get him to see the video. We want him to block us. We want to be blocked by Babish. Blocking with Babish. That would be great. Of course. Right. Who wants to bring their thing
Starting point is 00:28:14 a thing to a table? Sir, sir. Go on Mikey. What you got? I just want to talk supernatural spoopy things. Oh no. Have any of you ever had any supernatural kind of weird experiences that can't be explained? So I feel like everyone has one, even if it's just something small. I have.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Oh. Yeah. We had a big family sort of get together at my parents' place. We had loads of people around from, there were probably like 20 or 30 people there. And one aunt was conspicuous by her absence because she'd like passed away like a year before. And everyone was sort of like having a really nice time. But occasionally we would say, it's a shame.
Starting point is 00:29:00 She's not here. That's a bit of a shame. And then at 4pm, I was standing in the kitchen. And we've got this old grandfather clock at the foot of the stairs. Or grandmother. Or grandmother. And it doesn't work. It doesn't even have the weights in it that like pull the chain to make it tick.
Starting point is 00:29:22 And the hands are just stuck at 10 to 8, I think. Anyway, we're all standing there just having a chat in the kids. kitchen and suddenly this clock strikes four. Oh God. And I looked at the other clock that we have in the kitchen and it was four o'clock sharp. Oh my God. That was just like, anti saying hello. Well, everyone just looked at this clock and they were like, oh, I didn't know that that clock was working. And I'm saying, no, no, it doesn't work. It's not working. It doesn't have weights in it. The hands are pointed at 10 to 8. But it's 4 p.m. right now and it struck four. And, I mean, I'm not even saying that it was the ante, but we just sort of said, well, if that was a ghost, let's just say it was her.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Yeah, that's nice. Not some sort of poltergeist. Yeah. But, you know, I've, I'm always open to like rational explanations for these things, but all I can say is there were no weights in this clock and the hands were on 10 to 8 and it struck 4 at 4 o'clock. And if anyone has any possible explanation for that, I'd love to hear it. But that literally happened in front of like five or six people. And that was just weird. No explanation for that.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Jesus. I personally am a big spooky boy in terms of easily being spooked. Well, actually, I'm not that easily spooked anymore. I used to be way easier spooked. I think our time at the thought parks proved otherwise. Actually, I'm sort of just tired of it now. I mean, naturally, as a human being, I don't, I'm not a huge fan of the dark. No.
Starting point is 00:30:55 And I don't like being in confined spaces. And I don't like being in spooky old houses when I don't have to be. but I can't I can say with sort of a relative degree of certainty that I have never experienced anything like that but in the same breath I can also say that again it's it's totally explainable rationally but I have been in places before I've been like I feel really uncomfortable and a bit freaked out and I don't want to be here but I know that that's just my mind fucking with me I know it's not anything like a clock that doesn't work or hasn't worked for ages suddenly striking the correct time yeah like Nothing like that has ever happened.
Starting point is 00:31:31 I can honestly say nothing like that has never happened to me. I think my first, like, spooky incident was when I was visiting a friend in Toronto. Spooksident. Spooksidental. I was visiting a friend in Toronto, and before I went over, she talked. Spook Ronto. If you die, I die once more, I swear I'm going to spook you when I die. I'm going to be, I'm going to haunt you.
Starting point is 00:31:52 And so I went to visit her in Spook, Spook Ronto. And before I went over, she'd been talking about, like, this kind of ghost that she's always had following her, like, the spirit of a little girl. supposedly. And, like, she said, oh, yeah, she's like, chills my room, but don't worry, she's fine. She's friendly.
Starting point is 00:32:05 She's, well, she's got good intentions. See, when I hear that, I think, potential mental health, it'll chills, maybe. Hey, eh. And so I was,
Starting point is 00:32:14 I was like in a house one night, just by myself, kind of, like, I was really tired after, like, a really long day of, like, you know, my sleep schedule was fucked. So, like,
Starting point is 00:32:20 I was kind of just moseing around a room, kind of, like, you know, going through a dress kind of looking at a thing, like, oh, there's nice pictures here like picking up books and shit
Starting point is 00:32:26 and then the dresser just start to rock back and forth quite aggressively and this house is not near a flight path it was like 20 minutes more from the subway and it never rocked again the entire time Did you tell her? I didn't know because I got scared and I didn't want to spooker
Starting point is 00:32:43 and I thought hmm that's a bit weird I wonder if that was a girl telling me to fuck off Stop going through her stuff yeah yeah Jesus and recently I think I've talked about my sleep paralysis on stream. Yeah, you have, yeah. But not on stream, on stream and probably on poddietz, but I'm now of the belief
Starting point is 00:33:00 it's a demon. Okay. That's a nice rationalogical jump. Been talking to a dear friend and she's persuaded me that that's a demon. I quite like that idea. I think that's fun. And what's the demon called? Deborah. Debs the demon. So why, what's happening, what's been happening
Starting point is 00:33:16 that a demon has been doing to you? It's just, well, mounting me. I think it's a sexual demon. It was a very sexual experience. Deborah's a sexy name as well. Yeah, very much. So that's my favorite name. Could you see anything or just feel something mounting? It was sleep paralysis, so I was lying there, and I heard my door open.
Starting point is 00:33:31 I heard the footsteps coming towards me. And I just thought, this is a bit weird. Well, my flat mates just come in my room. I'm not going to poke my head out. I'm just going to ignore this and hope they go away. Yeah. And then I felt the knee on my bed. My mattress dipped.
Starting point is 00:33:43 I rolled over a bit. I was like, all right. Oh, I can't move. And then I just felt this thing just encompassed me and kind of wrap around me. Yeah. And just like, weigh me down. I was like, this is not good. And obviously at that point, I couldn't open my eyes.
Starting point is 00:33:56 I couldn't move. Like, my arms were like, numb, nailed to the bed. Like, fuck, this is weird. Yeah. Like, with all my strength, like, trying to open my eyes, trying to see what the fuck's going on. After, like, a minute of just, like, being crushed by this thing, I opened my eyes and just sat in my room for, like,
Starting point is 00:34:08 three hours with the light on, like, what was that? Yeah. That's a really common thing is the sensation of something on your chest. There's a lot of, like, art and stuff. Like, there's paintings of, like, some really fucking good art about it. Yeah. And, like, really old art.
Starting point is 00:34:21 It goes way back in history, the notion. And actually, there are, in different countries, they have actual names for, like, the supposed entity, like, you know, that translate as, like, the granny that sits on your chest or whatever. Oh, Granny, get off. I think I've seen that video. The granny that shits on your chest. That shits on, yeah, the granny that shits on your chest. Nice. Dev will be pooping on you at any moment.
Starting point is 00:34:44 I'm so glad I didn't have, like, anything visual happen. Yeah. So I feel like that would fucking traumatize me. If I saw something in the corner of my room, which I do wake up a lot at the night and look at my door because that's my coat tank. Oh yeah. So it always looks like there's a dark figure and in my room
Starting point is 00:34:56 and like fuck I need to stop doing that I had that I was, that would have been my other answer but I was like Oh my god
Starting point is 00:35:01 everyone can we just hold the fucking forward fucking hell there is who's this oh look who is a fucking slack

Starting point is 00:37:06 And span on the floor in a room full of professional journalists. Whoopsy, Daisy. Oh well. Why would they even have a dance floor if you're not allowed to dance on the floor? Did I tweet that? Did I tweet that? I have a video of it. I have a video of it.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Yeah. The lap dance can never go out though. That was just more embarrassing on me. No, we were going to put that in the vlog and then we made an executive decision the decision not to do that. That's staying right in the wank bank. Oh, yeah. Now I'm going to have people pestering me on a daily basis

Starting point is 00:39:43 Yeah. And one of the things I didn't say when asked about the paranormal because it's explainable by the phenomenon of sleep paralysis is that I did have a visual sleep paralysis thing I've only ever had sleep paralysis like once or maybe twice but the one time that I can remember was a student
Starting point is 00:39:59 I'd been out on the piss the day before on the Saturday night and I'd slept in really really late on the Sunday morning because I was super hung over and we all got up and we were all feeling like super ill so at 8 o'clock we watched Mama you know the one about like the two little little girls that have like lived in the woods on their own earth would you watch that?
Starting point is 00:40:23 They were raised by a fucking ghost or something and they're really creepy and we watched like half of it and then I was just feeling like really ill so it was like I'm going back to bed got into bed slept for like about an hour or so and then woke up and I was frozen in my bed and I had this wardrobe in the corner of the room that went right up to the ceiling it was like nine feet tall 10 feet tall and the door was slightly ajar and at the top of this wardrobe this face lent out from the top of it and its face was completely black
Starting point is 00:40:54 like it was like a chimney sweep or something it was just this small man's head totally black with like coal dust looked at me and then slowly went back in again and I eventually was then like able to kind of rouse myself and like start moving again and I wasn't too scared because I was like I am 99% sure that that was just sleep paralysis
Starting point is 00:41:16 and hallucination, but it was like, that would fucking hell. Yeah, Jesus. Yeah. Fuck that shit. Who's slamming doors? I don't know. Is it the demon?
Starting point is 00:41:26 Slaming and deb's back. She wants some sweet loving. Wow, that was a lovely thing. I feel a lot. One more thing to say before we finish that. Just I want to give a show suggestion on YouTube. BuzzFeed Unsolved is one of my new fucking favorite YouTube things. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:41:40 I have that suggested to us. Did we? I think someone suggested that. Oh, fuck. I totally ignored them. Well, I'm on the. BuzzFeed unsolved train right now
Starting point is 00:41:48 it's so fucking good they're these two guys one of them believes in the paranormal one doesn't and they go do like paranormal investigation like old haunted houses
Starting point is 00:41:56 and stuff it's the funniest fucking thing that does sound good so good I'm morbidly fascinated by that stuff but I don't like to
Starting point is 00:42:03 consume it much because it's like it's it's nice it's spooky at times when it wants to be but it's fucking hilarious does the non-believer guy
Starting point is 00:42:09 ever get scared or is he just so rational that he's like there is times it's been like wait I can't even explain that that's weird
Starting point is 00:42:14 I mean obviously that the guy who gets scared is literally scared of just looking at the houses. He's always kind of trembling and quivering. It's quite funny. Oh, wow. Yeah, Buzzfeed and soft. Sounds great.
Starting point is 00:42:23 Well, look into that. Another question. This one is from Johanah or Johanah or... Johanah? One of those ones. At Hound of Seru on Twitter. First, mobile phones. What did you mainly use them for?
Starting point is 00:42:38 So I had a Nokia 3310. Oh my God, the brick. The brick, yeah. The brick that can survive a nuclear war. I used to, I got my cousin, Richard, to help make me some monophonic ringtones using the composer. So I had like the Italian job and all sorts of stuff. Oh, polyphonic shit. Monophonic.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Oh, damn. No, it's just a beep. Just the one. Yeah. Just the one polyphonic. Ding ding ding ding. That was it. That was one of my ringtone.
Starting point is 00:43:06 And I had it, I had like no credit ever. Yeah. So I would just occasionally send texts. It was mainly for emergency. because I was now at secondary school and I needed a phone played a lot of snake wasn't any good at it
Starting point is 00:43:21 yeah tried to teach myself that weird bean game bean game oh yeah it was like I think it was some kind of Chinese board game type thing but I never understood
Starting point is 00:43:31 how to work it and then as time went by I used to just sort of because they were indestructible I used to just throw it like at the wall and it was shatter into a million pieces and then you could put it all back together and it would work fine
Starting point is 00:43:45 Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it? The battery would come out, the back would come off. I had a Nokia 3410. Oh, that was my first. Is that a silvery one? Yeah, it was basically the same phone. I could connect to the internet. My friend downloaded Monopoly off it.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Yeah, you could do, but I never did. And spent 30 pound of gear on that. Well, exactly, you know, it would just eat your credit immediately. But it had Snake 2. The sequel. I don't know what the difference was. Could you go through the walls in Snake 1? Two snakes. There's two, got two snakes in it.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Two snakes, yeah. And it had one other game as well. But yeah, it was basically the same phone. It was super indestructible. The battery lasted a week without charging it. And, yeah, it was like 10 p a text. Oh, nice. But it was great.
Starting point is 00:44:25 And I think if we'd not probably literally just thrown it away or donated it to some recycling thing, it would probably still work now. If I found it in a drawer, it would just work. I charged up, and in fact, it's a good idea, actually, and I forgot it was in there, and you should really charge it up, like, once every month. But I got the old Nokia 3410 from my... parents, put like a free sim card in it and then charged it up and put it in the glove box of my car, the glove compartment of my car, so I could use it to call emergency services if I need
Starting point is 00:44:58 to. Because the battery lasts forever. Yeah, literally forever. Although when I put it in there, it was like three years ago. So the battery has now run out. But again, it's something that you can just have in your car. It's very solid. It's ready to go. What about you, Michael? My first phone that I owned was a Samsung E-900. I was well after the Nokia years when I got my first phone. Well, you're a bit younger anyway. Yeah, I'm a little boy. And just a few years makes all the difference.
Starting point is 00:45:25 Oh, yeah, with phones, yeah. It was a full-colour display, one of those sliding ones. Oh, cool. It was quite nice. Yeah, they used to have all my chavvy music on it. You know, Canon and D remix. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't, I don't know, it was just texting and phony.
Starting point is 00:45:39 Me and you say, hi, ma'am, I'm out right now. See you later, bye. Yeah, mine was all the first. Emergencies and stuff. Yeah. It was quite a while before I got like a touchscreen phone on it like a decent phone. Oh yeah, me too. I didn't have one for it.
Starting point is 00:45:50 I got an iPhone 3G. I think I was the first person in my school to get an iPhone. Whoa. Yeah, yeah. Look at you. Yeah, got a stupidly expensive contract that came with a free laptop, free. What the fuck? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:02 And so yeah, I had an iPhone for quite a while, but I have since lagged behind the iPhone train and I'm quite happy with my six and don't think I'm going to upgrade it. Yeah, me too. Do me fine. Yeah. It's great. right Peter
Starting point is 00:46:14 I have a thing Tell us So you know how we were talking about Paris when Dave was in here Paris And Paris And be a vegan And how we're not allowed back
Starting point is 00:46:23 Yes Well There are certain people Who are advised Not to go in the first place Or to be very careful About going to Paris Was this what I think
Starting point is 00:46:32 Are you aware of Japanese Yeah Paris syndrome Yeah It's amazing when I've read about that I thought This has got me made up
Starting point is 00:46:40 Yeah legitimately it's real We're on weird-competia. Well, actually, I say that. I'm assuming there's a Wikipedia page. This is just something I know about. I think there is. Yeah, there is definitely Wikipedia. Paris Syndrome.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Japanese tourists in particular in Japan, there is this wonderful kind of utopia image of Paris, and it's in all the magazines, and everyone thinks that all the Parisians are wonderfully attractive people, and there's this wonderful
Starting point is 00:47:08 cosmopolitan, a culture, and everything. And But in fact, the fact of the matter is that when you get to Paris, as a Japanese tourist, it is much like any other European capital, it smells of poo. I would say that... Not everywhere. I would say that above all of the other capitals that are romanticised, that I have been to, Paris is an underwhelming one.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Yeah. It's very grey. When we went there, a lot of the time... We saw some children bullying what we think was a homeless man, kicking over his snowman. Yeah. So yeah. And he was really mad about it. And the dog poo situation in France is not great.
Starting point is 00:47:42 anyway. In Paris is particularly difficult, yes. So these Japanese tourists get off their plane, walk into Paris, and they're surrounded by traffic and bin bags and some of the drains smell funny. And yeah, okay, there's some lovely buildings and there's some nice people, but some of them are fucking horrible. Some of the Parisians are like the worst people ever in Europe. Oh, like our taxi driver?
Starting point is 00:48:08 Like our massively racist taxi driver. Incredibly racist. made, like, weird goat noises at a man walking past in, like, traditional African garb, yeah. It was like, fucking, ha, ha, ha, ha, it was like, what the fuck do you do? He thought it was really funny. And we just kind of shut up, I'm like, mm. Like, fuck.
Starting point is 00:48:23 So, uh, Japanese people go into, like, states of depression, uh, anxiety. Some of them get, like, physiological symptoms, like nausea and headaches and stuff. Some people kind of go a little bit crazy. Yeah. Um, for example, there was a man who, I believe, went on a carjacking spree. What? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:46 He, like, stole a load of cars, and I think they were able to, like, get him back to Japan, and I think he kind of got away with it, in that they said, like, this, he's clearly, like, suffering from Paris syndrome, and he's never had any history whatsoever of crime. Broke him as a human being. Yeah, and the general advice that a health expert would give you is to just, go home and have two weeks like bed rest and you'll start to feel better. Recover from the hell that is Paris. Jesus. According to Wikipedia, from the estimated six million yearly visitors,
Starting point is 00:49:21 the number of reported cases is not large, but I am aware that there is actually a hotline set up at the Japanese embassy in Paris. What the fuck. And it says it around 20 Japanese tourists a year are affected by the syndrome. Please don't it now. Yeah. Now, these poor people. On top of this, and I'll be very brief on this one, there's also a condition called Jerusalem syndrome. Now, this is not people going to Jerusalem thinking, oh, I thought this was going to be nicer, I'm going to steal a load of cars.
Starting point is 00:49:51 This is people, whether they're religious or atheist or agnostic, going to Jerusalem, seeing various sort of holy sites, and then having this, like, crazy religious, like, awakening. And there are all these, like, really common, like, specific but really common symptoms for the people who do get it like they wrap themselves in linen and they walk around in bare feet or sandals become gibers and yeah they basically start like preaching they like stand on street corners and start like doing sermons and stuff and again it's just this like weird culture shock thing where like people go there they see all this stuff around them
Starting point is 00:50:27 it gets into their head and then the doctors are saying we can't really do anything for you you need to just go home for two weeks oh my god just recover get some bed rest yeah it's crazy so that's Jerusalem syndrome I have a request for a weird capeteer in the future if that's okay yes like mass religious experiences I would oh okay because obviously they are a phenomenon that I am hesitant to assign to a deity yeah but I'm I still think it's really fascinating I did one that was in a list at name redundant that was about this like thousands of people being in this field and all just seeing the image of Mary in the sky and stuff yeah It's insane that these things can happen.
Starting point is 00:51:09 Crazy. I'll look into that in future. Yes, please. Thank you very much. That was a brief visit into weird capetia, geographical syndromes. I can't remember what happened, but I think I got one of my favorite comments ever last night
Starting point is 00:51:21 where someone called me ignorant for not knowing who Judas was or something. Judas. And it wasn't on Worms, but you're like, oh, Michael, just fucking ignorant now. I've not looked into religion at all. Why should I know who Judas was? Calm down. It's completely irrelevant.
Starting point is 00:51:34 It's okay. Let's go back to a question So three quick fire ones Be ready Daniel Harvey at Dan underscore McCracker asks favourite sandwich And what is the best way to cut it My favourite sandwich
Starting point is 00:51:48 I like a tuna sandwich Tuna sandwich cut diagonally Diagonal sandwiches I think tastes better They do they do Why is that a thing? Because you can go from a corner Yeah that's weird I suppose that is it I really like
Starting point is 00:52:01 Chicken or Turkey with a bit of mayo maybe some bacon, and maybe some stuffing, sage and onion stuffing. Back on. Yeah. Does grill cheese count as a sandwich? Was that like a realm above? I love toasties, but I'd say that's more of a...
Starting point is 00:52:17 Yeah, otherwise I might say that. Since going vegetarian, I've not eaten a lot of sandwiches, beyond like falafel and hummus and stuff. But I do like, you know, like corn, sandwich meat, bit of hummus, an array of vegetables, but sweet chili sauce, bam. That's what I call a sandwich, 2018. Fair enough. I actually really enjoyed our sandwich this morning, Ben.
Starting point is 00:52:34 And I know you said it was, that's food and that's okay. Yeah, well, we were drinking last night. We wanted to cook breakfast and we couldn't have one. So we went to Subway and got their breakfast sandwich. And yeah, it certainly was food. It was sausage and bacon with melted cheese and I really enjoyed it. I had bacon and egg. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:49 But I had it in a flat bread, so it wasn't as exciting. Anyway, next question. This is from Steph at Dairy Layer. What's the best flavour of crisps? Oh. By which I think she's asking, what's your favourite grit? salt I think she wants this to
Starting point is 00:53:05 I don't want to argue about things salt and black pepper I think it's just so boring but so fucking good like nice kettle chips salt and pepper see that
Starting point is 00:53:14 I think that's where you get into the like I think it depends on the crisp like if it was just here's walkers which flavor walkers do you want you know that's one thing
Starting point is 00:53:21 but like if you then asking me like Doritos I'd say chili heat wave I like corn base chips the best or if you then said like kettle chips
Starting point is 00:53:28 I'd be like oh and like some nice like really salty and vinegary but I wouldn't say salt and vinegar A walking guy. There's too many
Starting point is 00:53:34 parameters. I like all of those but if we were going for brands I'm a big fan of mini-cheddars. I really like Monster Ranch. Yeah. Something sort of that's going to make my breath smell out. Space Raiders. Space Raiders, good stuff. Fucking good council estate crisp. Fees the people
Starting point is 00:53:50 toy pens, you've got to sell a good meal. Always at the school disco. Yeah. Yeah, the ones that you know are the worst for you. Space Raiders and Monster Man. You know that there's like barely any potato left in that. Sort of hurts your mouth to eat it because it's either two spiky or too flavored that it sort of sets your taste bloods on fire. Yeah. And you've got the game changer of Transformer Snack.
Starting point is 00:54:10 One way you can make cars out of the crisps. It came like, like an eye shape and a wheel shape. Like an axle. Yeah. Yeah. That's amazing. I've seen that. Finally, this is from Darren Dredge.
Starting point is 00:54:22 Darren Dredge at Dredge 5316. He asks, favorite kind of cheese. Oh. Wow. I like... I like... Wood smoked cheddar. I was thinking that, but I'm not at you.
Starting point is 00:54:32 I'm a fan of, like, Mexican-style cheese, like bits of jalapino in it, quite spicy cheese. Yeah. Nicely spicy. Oh, I tell you what, there's this kind of cheddar from Wales. It's called Black Bomber. Comes in like a black wax around the outside. It is the nicest cheddar ever made, hands down. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:54:48 It's so creamy and just soft, but it's still like a hard cheese, but it's just... Oh, I want it now, actually. I really want it. I love many varieties of cheddar. I'm a big fan of Emmental, even though it's kind of flavorless. Yeah, I like it. And I really like it. Huge fan of Brie over here.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Oh, nice. Not a big fan of blue cheeses. No. But Brie. It's like I have a bite of being like, I'm done now. That's a lot of flavour. It's the one that's very sick. Cammer bear as well.
Starting point is 00:55:16 Very similar to. Cammer. Cram and butter. My mom recently started buying baby bells again for the home fridge. And they're just really good. I forgot how good they were. I like shit cheese. Like if I'm going to have a cheddar,
Starting point is 00:55:26 I like just kind of like the shittest, like, own brand shit cheese. Like, I think sandwich cheese as well. like subtle like emmental stuff like that just like it's a bit of texture and a slight hint of cheese don't want to overpower everything and i do also like a nice bit of rule or roule how's it pronounced i know what you're talking on the end where it's like it's like creamy and it's got garlic in it is it sort of like a roll it's more like a spread yeah it's like a roll yeah and you can spread it onto crackers and it just tastes of like cheese and garlic that's christmas time isn't it yeah it's like it's like a dinner party cheese it's like boerskin or something is like one
Starting point is 00:55:58 the brand of it or something borsan i don't know i don't speak for Okay. Borskin is pretty good, though. Let's call it Borskin. Borskin. Thank you very much, everybody. Have you got a Borskin? I do, yeah. I've got a Borskin.
