Hit the track.
Everyone in the studio that I worked on this jingle with
all had like childhood stories or memories.
Yeah, we're around either watching these commercials on TV
or sitting with our moms while they were doing their makeup
and it became really personal for us.
Maybe it's Mabelene.
Maybe it's Mabelene.
Right.
That's rolling.
Right.
That's rolling.
Right.
Just a parroting.
Wow.
Just parroting me now.
Paratting me now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Welcome to poddience.
Fuck off.
Fuck off.
Fuck off.
To potiots.
Oh my God.
Two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two.
Episode two.
Do you think Spotify do like a quality assurance thing?
I mean, if we got on, then definitely not.
I mean, if we got on, then definitely not.
Well, I mean, maybe they occasionally check.
How many people have tuned out of this point?
How many people have tuned out at this point?
I blame.
I'm a massive nonce.
I'm a massive cool dude.
Whoa.
He got you there.
He was right there.
Didn't see that coming.
He did see that coming.
Hello everybody and welcome to episode 13 of Pottie.
It's unlucky number 13 for some.
For some, but for us, every day's unlucky.
This is our luckiest episode ever.
Just wait until you see the treats we have in store for you.
So many.
That piano falls on me this time.
Many. God, it could do.
So many goddamn treats.
I'm Ben.
And this is the official.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm fucking sold.
Strong concepts.
Strong concepts.
Yeah, very, very good.
Well done.
And you're...
Well done.
Both of you.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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...
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
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
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.
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
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
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...
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
X tournament edition Chroma
Fuck, that's keyboard
It is a keyboard
And finally
The Razor Lancehead
Tournament Edition black
Lancehead
Head set
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
What technique?
Yeah.
Standing, sitting.
Oh, we didn't ask that.
What hand do you wipe with?
Right hand.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
everyone
can we just hold
the fucking forward
fucking hell
there is
who's this
oh look who is
a fucking slack
It's long time
no see
come on come on
come a little bit
closer than microphone

Hey it's Dave
It's that Dave

Yeah
That's fine
Just share that microphone
Dave what the fuck
Where have you been
It's been
fucking crazy
the last couple of weeks.
Traveling.
A couple of weeks.
Traveling.
It's been months.
I was in Canadian, eh?
Oh, hey.
Getting a bit of puttin, eh?
With your boo?
I was getting all the putine, actually.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, all of it.
They've run out now.
Yeah.
There's no putteen left.
No more cheese curds.
Oh, shit.
That's it.
Mind the world for all its resources
of cheese curds.
There's never be another curd.
No more curds ever again.
We missed you, man.
Yeah, it's nice to have you back.
We didn't bother calling you
because we thought you just didn't care anymore.
Yeah.
I told you.
You said this a lot though
Yeah but you're on holiday
I don't want to call you in the more
Stop clenching your fists
Fuck shut up
You don't you yeah
Dave
At Dave on Twitter
Oh we got
Wait can we say it
When's this going out
It's going out
It's going out potentially after the
Oh but it doesn't matter
We shot a load of post some tat videos
And Dave got his first
Tats sent out of it
And can I say what it is
Yeah
I got some fucking tucks
Yeah
We got some
some tucks for day.
I'm fucking delighted with that.
You've been eating them dry though.
Yeah.
Well, of course you eat tucks dry.
They're not like normal crackers.
You can eat them by themselves.
Oh, I know, but you were talking about having them cheese.
They're just salted, aren't they?
Right?
Yeah, just lightly salted.
That's all you need.
Take them home and enjoy it with some cheese, man.
We had cheese last week.
Did you see that?
Did you catch that last week?
No.
Some cheese and Leo brought us some French wine.
Oh, yeah.
French bastard.
God damn it.
Sexy French bastard.
Yeah, so hot.
We actually all met Leo.
We did in Paris, right?
At the start of the year.
Yeah, it was cute.
That was lovely.
We had a messy night and now we're not allowed back.
Yeah, we're not allowed to go back to those events.
Whoops, my bad.
Because Michael gave Dave a lap dance.
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.
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
for this lap dance video.
Oh, as they should.
Yeah.
And eventually we'll cave.
50K subscribers.
It has to be upside down as well.
Like, it was for me.
Oh, yeah.
Hands on the floor, feet in the air.
I was going for it.
I was like rocking that bitch.
Yeah, I don't know how you could hold
yourself up like that.
It was.
I've got.
It's astonishing.
Ultimate strength.
Just two inches to do it.
Oh, yeah.
It's a strong, solid two incher.
Dave.
can we get some drinks
yeah lads what can I get you
I would like my water bottle
emptied out refilled
emptied out refilled in a
different tap and then I want you to
pour that water all over yourself
and then I never want to see you again
wow I would like
a hot salty water please
no problem at all and for yourself
just some lobster thermidor would be nice I think
blended
thermidor milkshake
bit of having
are. We're starving too. We're doing a stream straight after
this. Yeah. No, time to eat. What time
you's gonna eat? Wait.
I'm gonna just gonna eat next stream. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. No, it's fine. They'd like it. They like
it hearing us talk about boring stuff.
Yeah. It's fun. Well,
you've got, what did you tell them what you got yesterday?
No, what? Tell them how
classless you were. What was that?
What happened? Did you get yesterday? That was
yesterday? What did we get? You got a cheeky
little spoons. Oh yeah, we had a spoons
tea. Well, Peter and I had a spoons tea.
I looked on and drank Diet Coke.
Oh, that was nice
It was delicious
Straight from the microwave
The microwaveed it well
Yeah, yeah
They didn't microwave mine very well
I had very, very chewy chicken
Oh great
My name was perfectly microwaved
Oh good for you
You did get to wash it down
With some lovely ciders

Yeah
Thatcher's gold
The Thatcher's gold

Oh yeah

Yeah
Oh I wish
Oh man
No we must have some in the fridge
We're a dry office
Probably do actually
Yeah
Alex probably has
left a couple of cannons lying around.
Let's fucking reared them.
All right, let's go. Let's go get it.
Oh, thanks, Dave.
Thanks, Dave.
Oh, Dave, where are you going, Dave?
Dave, come back. Dave, come back.
Where you go? Dave.
Oh, no, Dave.
Dave, don't go.
Oh, Dave. We love you, Dave.
We'll see you in like seven episodes time.
Nice shirt.
Actually, that's a fucking nice shirt is when.
I want that shirt.
So anyway, you were raped by a ghost.
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
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?
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
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
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?
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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...
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
I haven't got a Borskin.
You haven't got a Borskin?

Okay.
He's bold.

Watermelon or honeydew?
Well, we'll find out.
Honeydew for me, but
it's really hard for me

Like, it's just so refreshing and nice.
But, I mean, honey juice, I don't know.
It's a different beast.
I don't know if I could choose a favorite.
