Starting point is 00:00:28 during the Volvo Fall Experience event. Condition supply, visit your local Volvo retailer or go to Explorevolvo.com. How was your birthday, Michael Johnson? It was awful. Absolutely dreadful in every way. Oh, no. Oh, was that? I had a proper stink of a welcome to the age of 29.
Starting point is 00:00:49 I spent the day ill with COVID and enslaving away at a desk, working on David Beckham's face for 14 hours. was that day. So I thought, screw it. I may as well do the work tonight because I ain't doing anything else for the COVID. So yeah, great. But I made up for it the weekend. I had a lovely weekend. I mean, I had like a full week of birthday in two days. It was magical. Hell yeah. Hell. Well, even though you spread your birthday over two days, I forgot to say happy birthday to you on either of those days. So, uh, yeah, you monster, you monster. True friend. Hashtag true friend. The best friends don't need to say it.
Starting point is 00:01:29 I think it's just assumed and implied. The real ones, yeah. Yeah, that's right. And, like, the only way you keep up with birthdays nowadays is when Facebook notifies you. Well, that's, yeah, that's how I used to get birthdays, and now I don't go on Facebook. Therefore, no more birthdays. Birthdays are over. I think, yeah, we've mutually kind of agreed as a species to forget about birthdays now that Facebook isn't reminding us.
Starting point is 00:01:53 That's fine. We really tried, though, didn't we, during lockdown? Everyone made a concerted effort to send out cards That's one of the main reasons I remembered yours, Michael Johnson It's because Moon Pig reminded me So I got my card out to you Because the pig told me Yeah, we did a family Zoom quiz on every birthday
Starting point is 00:02:10 And this is a family of The family that I was locked down with And then my set of cousins and an uncle In a different household So between us there were And like a few spouses and partners Were also locked down together So spread
Starting point is 00:02:25 That sounds fucking awful. Yeah, so because there were that many of us, it meant there was a Zoom quiz every like three weeks or something because there was always another birthday coming around. I do not miss the Zoom quizzes. Like, it was fun one time, maybe. Even then I didn't enjoy it. And then every time after that was just pain and misery.
Starting point is 00:02:43 I don't want to do this. I love my family, right? I love them. They were all locked down together. And I was up in Newcastle. And I think we, I might be exaggerating. but I'm fairly sure we did a quiz every week just to sort of stay in touch
Starting point is 00:02:58 and it was me sat at my desk with my headphones on after being sat at that desk all day for work and then just listening to them sort of bicker back and forth and go no I haven't asked my question yet it's my time no question I'm just sitting there like I really I want to go and look at good screen in the other room where I don't want to be sat here people talking at the same time and you can't hear
Starting point is 00:03:19 and then you go what was so what did you say ante and then there's like a two second delay even though she's only like two hours down south but for some reason massive delay I said at the third of the day you're breaking up this is giving me PTSD
Starting point is 00:03:37 just that impression no more quizzes no more virtual quizzes please I don't even like pub quizzes nope I just leave them at home don't want them yeah go to a pub and use my brain and think that's the opposite what pubs are for numb it with alcohol you know
Starting point is 00:03:52 Well, one thing you, even though you might, despite not liking going to the pub, Mikey, there are other things you can do with your time to have fun, such as perhaps going to see a play or perhaps a seminar or something like that. Perhaps a seminar that's focused entirely around business practices and how to be a better businessman, presented by a little known character called Brian Butterfield. Not a character, a real man. But he's a character of a man. he is a real character
Starting point is 00:04:24 Gravy boy Gravy boy You have a good time Mikey I had a delightful time It is beautiful to see The Vidiot's story Go from Rags to Riches From talking about Butterfield
Starting point is 00:04:37 To talking to Butterfield And then you know Being in the physical presence Of Mr Butterfield What a story That we've did it boys Yeah I had a lovely time I think I'm going to echo
Starting point is 00:04:48 The same sentiments you guys had It was a good well put together show But good Lord was that man sweaty um he had i assume he had the same for your shows we had two fans on stage point out of all times oh wow oh man they were on for this one it still it didn't do it didn't do much i can say that i guess different venues are sort of different you know have different ventilation and stuff yeah he didn't need them in ours he seemed all right it was moist in ours but um we did get a fun um bonus vidiott's character mentioned
Starting point is 00:05:22 during the show of Mr. Blobby made a guest appearance. Oh. Well, not appearance, but a mention as a part of the show way brings up people from the audience to pitch their business ideas to Brian. And one of the ideas was a Mr. Blobby themed escape room. Fantastic. That sounds terrifying. Was that his favorite? Well, he, oh, I think it did win.
Starting point is 00:05:49 The other one was Infinite Egg, which is. just a very very long egg okay i like that um in in the course of discussing the business brian did spill that he was in fact the man in the suit brian butterfield is blobby i can't believe i'm saying wow oh did he that suit i see what you mean good this tea a huge a huge reveal i can't believe it and he's it seemed like he had some bad memories about being in that suit from what he said well that's another um viddiott's character we can cross off the list then We've already met Blobby when we met Brian. Hey, yeah, two for one, let's go.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Working through him. Did you queue up to meet him? Of course I did. I paid my £20 for my certificate. I got some bonbon, bon, bonbons, which I, after buying, realised, had milk in them. I was going to say, are those vegan? That's a bit dice.
Starting point is 00:06:38 No, they weren't vegan, but in front of me, actually, on my desk. So after I left, oh wait, no, I don't. Somewhere in this room, I have just the empty packet with the sticker on it, and that's my little memento. Did you know, speaking of the VCU, do you know that Dave Benson Phillips is now officially the face of Sunny Delight in the UK? What? Officially? Yeah, he does the Sunny D adverts now, or he's done a string of Sunny D adverts that I kept meaning to sort of bring along.
Starting point is 00:07:12 And it's sort of, it's old news now. But yeah, so he's been on Celebrity Master Chef, hasn't he? I don't know how far he got. but so he sort of came back into semi-relevance and then I think maybe off the back of that sunny d have done this campaign with him where it's about like 90s nostalgia because we all used to drink sunny d when we watched our get your own back of course um and so they've got him got him on to say I think the whole the whole idea and the ad is something like you know it might be from the 90s but it's still just as good or something along those lines yeah look at the one that mikey's put in
Starting point is 00:07:49 the chat, that little ad... Oh, right. That's quite... There he is. Hashtag, it's still a thing. Well, it's going to be my question. I thought they stopped selling Sunny D in the UK after it turned people orange or something.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Yeah, well, that's why they've done this campaign, is because everyone thinks they stopped selling it because it turned that girl orange. She drank so much of it. No disrespect to Dave Benson Phillips, who of course is a titan of industry and very famous. I appreciate that what they've probably tried to do here is pick a celebrity from the time period that people who were kids at the time might still remember and then, you know, oh, Sonny Dee, that was also around when I was a kid briefly until that girl,
Starting point is 00:08:28 girl, look how orange you look. Yeah. I went orange. But is, is he really all they could get? Well, maybe that's... Could they not do better than Dave? Well, I almost feel like the hashtag applies to Dave as well. He's still alive.
Starting point is 00:08:46 They've paid someone from the 90s who everyone thought was no longer. longer still a thing, but it's still a thing. Yeah, it is quite a scathing kind of way to present an ad campaign. Like, remember this, probably, maybe, huh? Wow, these faces, wait, his faces actually on the bottles? Yeah. His faces on the bottle. There's another one.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Oh, my God, wait. Is that just like a promotional, Sunny D? Sunny D. Yeah, there he is. It's a good pose. Yeah, he is on it. He is on the bottle. Well, we're clearly going to need to hashtag Sunny Dave
Starting point is 00:09:16 Unlease your inner Dave. What the fuck? How is this? How's this passed me by? I've been meaning to tell, I've been meaning to bring, I mean, I, I, I, um, I knew it and I kept thinking to almost say it conversationally to you, Ben, at the office. And I was like, no, no, no, I'll save it for podiers. And I was going to bring the audio from the ads, because there's video ads as well,
Starting point is 00:09:34 but I kept forgetting. And I'm just, this is it. I'm, we're doing a thing now. And what the top one that Mikey's put in there is that you can win a bottle of Sunny D signed by Dave Benson Phillips, which my immediate thought was, you can buy one on eBay for ten pounds. Who the fuck wants that? And secondly, actually, we would.
Starting point is 00:09:52 We would like that. And then we can auction it off. Oh, my God. We'll sign it as well. How do we win that? Can we win that? Here's your chance to win a bottle of Sonny Dave, signed by the legend himself. Follow our page, tag a friend who loved the Dave back in the dish.
Starting point is 00:10:07 It's too much. It's too much effort. Yeah. Just give it a lot. It also definitely does not constitute leaving him out of it if we start. No. That's true. when a signed bottle of Sunday Dave.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Miss him, you know. Just miss him. Yeah, yeah, it's a constant in our lives for so long. We still think of you, Dave. I feel like for a shit. Just want Dave, but. I'm glad that they took a chance on him on Celebrity Master Chef, and now he's, you know, getting ad deals and stuff. He's getting his own back.
Starting point is 00:10:35 And he put that tweet out the other day that someone tagged us in, where he wants, he was looking for rude songs. So he's, you know, he's doing parties and stuff. Yeah. That's great. Ashtag he's still a thing. Dave's not alone in this ad campaign. There's another celebrity.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Let me guess. Pat Sharp. Honestly, not too far off. Sean Williamson, who's an English actor best known as Barry Evans in EastEnders. Oh, yeah. I don't know who that is. It's the same deal.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Literally, no idea who this man is. So I guess... He's in multiple Ricky Jervais, um... Oh, okay. Different shows starring as himself. And again, The whole idea is, it's Barry from EastEnders.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Yeah, he's still looking for work, but he's struggling. That's the character that he plays. God, that's not a character. Wow, Dave and Sean are, like, bound to be together. This is beautiful marketing, actually. I take it all back. This is perfect. Ah, wow.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Anyway, I met Brian Butterfield. Yes, you did. You met Ryan Butterfield, did you? Yeah, yeah. And I wouldn't say awkward. But not great. I mean, not, he was great. It's just, you know, social interactions are hard at the best of times.
Starting point is 00:11:54 So that little man, you're in a big sweaty suit. And you've got gawking fan after gawking fan coming and putting the hands on you and getting pictures. I did try to record the whole interaction my phone, like at least the audio. But the second I handed the phone over to the camera, the picture taker, he covered the microphone his fingers perfectly for the entire thing. Oh, no. I'm quite glad of that because it wasn't very good conversation. I was just like, hey, Brian, Brian, it's good to finally meet you. It's like, oh, what's your name?
Starting point is 00:12:22 Why is he a ghost of Christmas past? I was like, oh, Mikey, we actually chatted a couple of weeks ago when we interviewed you on potty hits. He's like, ah, I like your t-shirt. Oh, okay. Yeah, he didn't even try then. Too much time had passed. He'd forgotten grape roevo bow. We were hoping for a grovo bow, but we didn't get it one.
Starting point is 00:12:42 I said to him, could I get a gravy bay for all time's sake? nothing, didn't, didn't entertain it. And then, yeah, the rest of the interaction was him going, there's a nice t-shirt. Where did you get it from? Oh, man, is exhausted. Poor guy. So tired.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Well, it seems like with so many things that we've done in the past, we're just going to have to cling desperately to former glories, and we're going to keep the gravy bay thing alive for as long as we can, even if Brian forgot about it after three weeks. Yeah, absolutely. For sure. We're very good at not letting jokes down. aren't we? Yes. Yes, we are, Brian. Yes, we are. Shall we do the podcast? Yeah, let us.
Starting point is 00:13:45 A thing a long to talk about. I'm Ben. I'm Peter. And I'm Michael. Gravy Bay. Do you remember that? Yeah, that's a good one, isn't it? Really enjoyed that one.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Mikey, I just want to say, you're looking fantastic at the moment. How's the cycling to him from work going? Oh, it's great. I can eat whatever the hell I want, whenever I want, and it just makes no impact on my body. It's great. Brilliant. What a world to live in. I cannot recommend cycling 150 miles a week to anyone
Starting point is 00:14:17 I can do I can I can do anything I can eat anything every day is treat day well think of smoking start smoking that's good that's good exercise and smoke and go together like apples and pears right burn some plastics on the back of your bike as you go down sorry what but just burn some plastics on the back of your bike I just put some plastics on the back of my bike
Starting point is 00:14:39 I put a milk bottle in the back in the back spokes So it sounds like a motorbike the entire way there. You should obviously already have that. That goes without saying. Well, yeah. It's like carbon offsetting. Like, it works to like, you know, if you drive to work, like, deliveries that offset the carbon. The delivery to make it good.
Starting point is 00:14:56 I'm offsetting my good carbon with more bad carbon by burning plastic. Yeah. It's like Marjorie Doors off of Little Britain, which we all love very much, says this cake is 50% less fat, which means you can eat twice as much. It's good logic. Makes sense. You don't want to let the planet off too easily, you know? It's expecting you to take, you know, a car or public transport, so you want to do a little bit of damage. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:21 How long is each of your journeys each way in? 45 minutes each way, roughly? Blime. Is it a tough cycle of the hills? Nah, piece of piss. Bees of piss. Not right, then. Flat the entire way is entirely, and the entire stretch is just a big long cycle path.
Starting point is 00:15:38 No cars, no nothing. So it's, oh, delightful. God, that sounds fucking wonderful. Oh, it's so good. I'm dry. Hopefully it doesn't get too cold outside. Maybe I'll have to finally wear trousers on my bike. But I refuse.
Starting point is 00:15:49 I refuse. And how are you, Peter? I'm very well, thank you. I wish I could cycle, like, just on a quiet cycle path all the way to work. Sounds great. I mean, I know you do cycle to work then, but not presumably on a quiet cycle path all the way. No, quite the opposite, Peter. You have hills?
Starting point is 00:16:05 I do have hills, yeah. It's rubbish. Bike thieves as well. You've got a pass. Yes, that's true. I invested in some bike lights today, so we'll see how long those last. Thankfully, I'm not leaving it anywhere where anybody should be able to take them. But we'll see if they disappear.
Starting point is 00:16:21 I'll know that Peter Austin's feathered his nest with some bike lights. You'll see on my webcam next week. There's just like flashing lights in the room. You'll collect enough to wear them like a necklace. Yeah. Your shiny trinkets that you found. Excellent. How are you doing, Ben?
Starting point is 00:16:38 Oh, thank you for asking, Mikey. I appreciate it. I'm a good friend and like Peter Austin Thanks man You are you're such a good friend I was trying to I was setting up a whole bit there
Starting point is 00:16:49 Oh oh A visual gag that you're not going to appreciate Yeah Oh sorry well maybe I'm the bad friend Do you visual Hey Ben I've already done it It's happened Oh yeah
Starting point is 00:17:01 You have to watch the episode Hello how are you doing Ben I'm doing great Thank you for asking Since the last podcast we've we did There's now a cat living in my house. There is a cat?
Starting point is 00:17:12 Yes. Has it, is it now your cat? Because you named it. Oh, it's feeling a lot more like it. It's got to go and meet the other cats, which are not currently here, but that will be moving here in the new year. And if that goes okay,
Starting point is 00:17:25 then yes, yes. Some would say it's feline a lot more like it. Oh, some would. Yeah, some would. And also a lot wouldn't. No. But that's okay. So, yes, I've got Pippa the
Starting point is 00:17:39 cat she's very naughty um she's we don't think she's a year old yet she's booked to get uh spade and so oh you're gonna take a digging hopefully yes yeah we're booked booked her in for some uh archaeology and uh hopefully that'll make a calm down a bit because she is fucking mental and um she likes to run and jump on the bed at high speeds at 6 a m so that's been really fun to deal with that but this was this was a temporary cat but I think the second you gave the cat a name, that the cat was not temporary. Realistically, after the first night, it probably wasn't a temporary cast anymore. But regardless, she's here.
Starting point is 00:18:22 So that's it. And it's only been two weeks, but it feels like a bloody lifetime. I'm so tired. Oh. I don't worry. Well, I would say it gets easier, but maybe she'll be nuts forever. Maybe that'd be nice. Maybe it'll be terrible.
Starting point is 00:18:35 I don't know. We'll see. Anyway, she's got her home now, and that's all that matters. If you want to help support Michael Johnson with his cycling, Peter Austin with his... What are you doing, Peter? What's going on? Sunny Dee.

Starting point is 00:23:24 this is from Idris Gazelba who are at at Liam Piccolo on Twitter it's from Stokon Trent Live would you believe? Oh yes Love that And it's Stokon Trent News From the Courts section
Starting point is 00:23:42 This is written by George Bunn Which is a great name Naked Man with poo smeared face seen hiding in bush As bizarre eight minute police chase Comes to an end It's quite a lot There's a lot going on in that
Starting point is 00:23:57 The subheading even more goes on. Joseph 7, as in the River 7, spelled that way. Joseph 7 attempted to insert a finger in his bottom as he was arrested. Are you sure this wasn't Joseph comma, age 7? No, this is a grown man. Joseph 7 with a poo smeared face, yeah, probably. Here we go. A naked man with poo on his face was seen clutching a stolen bottle of bubble bath as he hid in a bush, a bizarre eight-minute police chase was brought to an end.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Joseph Sovn was spotted performing a sex act on himself as he made a nude sprint in Adley Green after climbing out of his ex's bathroom window. The 26-year-old was eventually found by officers crouching by a door with his genitals exposed and rubbing bubble bath all over his body. I can't possibly imagine why the relationship isn't currently going on. Right? But they made a lovely pair. During the ensuing struggle, he hurled a nearby mop bucket and bit one of the officers. As he was finally arrested, he attempted to insert a finger up his bottom. That's a real final sign of defiance, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:25:10 Yeah, well, screw you. Screw me with my finger. Now the defendant of Gileet Walk, Bentilee, that's a place, apparently, has been jailed for 21 months. Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court, which is hyperlinked, heard Seven had been in a casual relationship with his partner for two months, but it did not end on good terms. Prosecutor Jonathan Dickinson said Seven entered his exes flat in Adelaideley Green, uninvited on Saturday, January the 28th.
Starting point is 00:25:43 The claimant heard the bathroom door slam and went to investigate. On the way to the bathroom, she heard the shower running. Upon entering, she saw discarded clothing and human feet, feces wiped on the floor and the side of the bath. The court heard the defendant was naked and crouched down in the bath. Mr Dickinson said, after seeing him in the bathroom, she shouted at him to get out and that she was going to call the police. He asked if he could have sex with her.
Starting point is 00:26:09 She phoned her brother to ask him to come to the flat. While she was on the phone, the defendant, still naked, jumped out of the window and knocked over two small ornaments. What do you think they were? Real. Azzanomes. Asdenomes. Definitely as the gnomes.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Two asdenomes were not saying. Two small asdenomes on the bedroom window sill. And he also stole a bottle of bubble bath. The police arrived and heard the defendant was making his way down Banksman Road. Quote, he was seen hidden in the bushes, naked, apart from a jacket. He had feces covering his face and mouth. Oh. And he bit someone, apparently, with his feces mouth.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Police eventually caught him, crouched by the back door of a property, genitals exposed, rubbing the stolen gel over himself. Officers tried to restrain him and he picked up a nearby mop bucket and threw water over the officers before throwing the bucket at them. Officers tried to restrain him, but he was very... Officers tried to restrain him, but he was very slippery from the shower gel. Yeah, that would be really hard. That's another tactical move.
Starting point is 00:27:17 It would, yeah. Just lube yourself. but before you go and break the law. After it, this is still all a quote, I think, from the court. After attempting to climb over a nearby fence, officers pulled him to the ground, end quote. The court heard seven continue to resist arrest before biting one of the officers. After being sprayed, he was detained. Mr. Dickinson added,
Starting point is 00:27:39 The whole incident lasted around eight minutes. It was all caught on body-worn cameras, and he made several attempts to start masturbating during the chase and making overly sexualized comments to the officers. While he was put in handcuffs, he made an attempt to insert a finger up his anus. What is the charge trying to enjoy a quirky bum wank? This is the one who got me on the penis, people. He was interviewed on January 29th where he refused to leave his cell. He remained silent to questions.
Starting point is 00:28:08 One of the PCSOs was left with a bite on his left forearm and had to go to the Royal Stoke A&E for antibiotics. Seven pleaded guilty to burglary, one charge of exposure, one charge of criminal damage, and two offences assaulting an emergency worker. Mitigating, Anis Ali said, so I think that's essentially defending him, said, he recognizes the position he is in and he is genuinely remorseful. He regrets his action and has assured me
Starting point is 00:28:37 that none of it was sexually motivated as he tosses himself off. Yeah, it sounded, there was a very big sexual element to it. Yeah, he continues. He recognizes this was an unpleasant incident this was not a situation that required extensive planning, it was on impulse. In terms of damage, it was limited to nominal. I said that my client said it wasn't sexually motivated.
Starting point is 00:29:02 He does have an explanation and he is aware it is unlikely to assist, Your Honor, but he said he simply wanted a wash. Oh, no. Yeah. That defendant is scrambling for anything. Yeah, I just wanted a wash. It continues, and this is understandable. There are concerns with mental illness, but he knows he faces a prison sentence today.
Starting point is 00:29:26 So that's what was said in court in his defense. As well as being jailed for 21 months, seven was handed a three-year restraining order and placed on a sex offenders register for seven years. Recorder Julian Taylor said, This was a very unpleasant incident. You behaved in a rather peculiar manner, but it was also very offensive. If you preach the restraining order or the notification order, you'll be back here in front of this court again.
Starting point is 00:29:50 I certainly would describe that as rather peculiar. Yeah, definitely. That's strange. Was he, is he mentally unwell or was he on a substance? Yeah. Doesn't mention a substance, because that is a pretty mental thing to do, isn't it? It is. And you do often, when you see videos of people sort of tweaking out in the street,
Starting point is 00:30:13 like it's not unusual for them to be totally naked. I think that's just something that people do when they're completely off. I reckon. She had, like, a bottle of Mity Mac's bubble bath, like the fun-shaped shampoo or body wash or whatever it is. And he was like, I want that. And that's what he wanted to wash with. I want the matey.
Starting point is 00:30:31 He saw that the last time he was there. They broke up. He was like, I want, I'm going to go and get that. It would go with the gnomes as well, a bottle of matey. And he just couldn't wait to get home. So as he was running through the street, started rubbing it all over himself. That's the only reason. It's sexually motivated.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Calm down. But where did the poo come from? I don't know. No, and it was on his mouth. Yeah, it was the poo there before he arrived at the flat? Well, it was smeared on the bathtub. I think when he got there, maybe it was a bit of a, what did you call it, a dirty protest? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:04 But he sort of protested his own face as well. Yeah, yeah. I would go as far as to say, yes, either or, either mental illness or drug addiction or, you know, drug incident, or both, maybe. So, but that certainly happens. Bubble bath and and poo on face, that's funny, right? Yeah, it's okay to find that funny. I think so. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:30 And the fact that he was too slippery to arrest. It was like a cartoon character. I enjoyed that a lot, the slipperiness. That's good. Well, thanks for setting that in. That was very good. I enjoyed it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Thank you, Peter. Maybe it's Mabelaine is such an iconic. Piece of music Hit the track Everyone in the studio that I worked on this jingle with all had like childhood stories
Starting point is 00:31:58 or memories 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 Maple Lane Maybe it's Maple Lane
Starting point is 00:32:15 Mikey Would you like to do your thing I would be absolutely overjoyed to present my thing. I'm less presenting and more quizzing today. It's not a fucking Zoom quiz, is it? Yeah, get ready. Yeah, no, thankfully, this is, this is, well, I mean, it could be interpreted as a Zoom quiz. Maybe a Zoomer quiz, if you will.
Starting point is 00:32:39 I don't know, wait, what the fuck are Zoomers? It's a Gen Z, right? Yeah, well, hey, there you go, it's right. Brilliant, Peter and I work with one of those. We've been doing some. homework. Oh, well, good. Well, this might come in handy. I want today to give you some Gen Z slang in terminology. And I want to see... We've got this. We've got this. Yeah, all right. Let's see if all these years of training are paid off and you are down with the kids, as they say. So I have
Starting point is 00:33:07 a number of words in front of me. I didn't count them beforehand. I don't want to count them now. and I also have uses examples in a sentence and the actual definition for when you boys either give up or to confirm or deny your findings. I think, well, I always need to think about the structure of these things before doing it other than just getting the things.
Starting point is 00:33:29 You both getting scored individually to find out who is the most Gen Z and who is the least. I was going to spoil one of the words there, but I'll save that. Oh, man, nearly. Oh, this is hard. All right, Peter, Ben, I've got you on a notepad.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Are you ready to play the Gen Z game? Yes. Bussing. Busen. Yeah. What do you think bussing means? I'm going to, you have the chance to pull in a sentence, but I'd like to see you try and figure it out from just the word before we go into sentence territory.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Do we buzz in? or like how does this work? Yeah, if one of us says what the other one thinks is correct. Okay, we'll do a buzz. Just one of you say your name and then that'll be your buzz. Ben, yes, Potter. Bussing means it's, it's sick, man. Like, if it's food, it's delicious.
Starting point is 00:34:26 If something is bussing, it's cool and it's happening and we love it. Yeah, bingo, absolutely smashed it in one. It's absolutely bussing. This is a bussing thing, Mikey. Like, wow. Holy, wow, Ben, you, I mean, I'm, Why even bother with the rest of the quiz? The years are falling off me.
Starting point is 00:34:45 For an example in a sentence, it would be, oh, these potato smileys, chicken dippers and beans are bussing. Yeah, yes. I've said that. Peter's heard it. I've said it all the time. It's your bussing. And the actual definition of it is,
Starting point is 00:35:00 bussing is an adjective used when something is very good. Usually when people say bussing, they're talking about food. So, Ben, you like completely smash out the park there. It's also in that ghost. Bust buster's song, isn't it? Bussin makes me feel good. Bussin you feel good. It's true, yeah. On the busing train, we continue with... Why did you say busing train and not bus? For fuck six. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Everyone come get on the bus, because the bus... It's too late, Michael. Bus and train is the name of the episode. Oh, shit. we continue with Bussie Peter Peter I'm desperate to hear this
Starting point is 00:35:45 Well to be fair I'm more sort of defining Ussey here as a suffix So to put a whole Ussey into something is to really commit And the start of the word Ussey So in this case Bussy
Starting point is 00:36:03 Would be the first letter of the word or the first few letters of the word that you're saying or that is relevant. So, you know, if you've, say you've got like, there's someone running around in their under-knickers in the street and really committing. You might say they're putting their whole gussy into it
Starting point is 00:36:22 because of the gusset of the knickers. Of course, you would. You would say that. But Peter, could you define bussy for me? What is that word? Could work on the Ussie, but... I'm going to say that that is specifically a butt
Starting point is 00:36:36 I think I'm wrong Can I buzz in to steal? Yep Ben to steal It's a boy pussy It's a boy pussy It's a boy pussy It's a boy pussy
Starting point is 00:36:48 I know I'd heard it somewhere But I couldn't have told you What it was Oh Peter you got close But it's a boy pussy man I got the etymology But I didn't get the definition So yeah
Starting point is 00:36:58 Used in a sentence It would be Your bussey is beautiful Oh well It is Yeah And the definition is portmanteau of boy brackets a young male and pussy slang for vagina so yeah
Starting point is 00:37:13 bussy i've never heard that used anywhere online or even spoken aloud um so apparently kids are using that good job kids i feel like that's been around for a while have you seen any usy words at all mike you put your whole i've seen i've seen i've seen o see i've seen o see i've bussy into it for example oh i've usied all over the place but never busied never busied Okay. We continue with drip. What? Drip. Drip. DRIP. Drip.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Okay. I mean, I know what it is, but I want to get, I want Peter to get a point. Oh, I don't specifically know this. I mean, I'll have a guess before you if you want. Yeah. I don't know it. Okay. Um, I feel like it's, it's a kind of a, a, uh,
Starting point is 00:38:03 I don't know, actually. I'm sort of questioning. Would you like to hear it in a... Would you like to hear it in a sentence? Maybe that would help. Probably, but you need the help. Sure. I'd like to hear a sentence.
Starting point is 00:38:19 In a sentence, it would be, I look drippy AF in my vidiots merch. Okay, well, I guess that just generally means, you know, to have style looking cool as heck. Yes. What you would say, Peter, is, holy shit dude your drip really accentuates your bussy right well you're busing bussy yeah yeah congratulations peter you get the point um and the the definition i have in front of me is
Starting point is 00:38:48 an enormous amount of swag well i wouldn't have i wouldn't be to know that he's got the most swag he's dripped out sometimes you know you too cool for this terminology right the other one i've known for sure is um the first one, whatever that was. I've forgotten now. Bus in. Buss in. Oh, bus in. Yeah. Yeah, buss in. I got, I knew that. Well, let's see if you get the next one. Riz. Oh, I know that one. Peter. We said Riz in the office the other day and you hadn't heard this one, Ben. But do you remember what it is now?
Starting point is 00:39:22 I've already forgotten it. No, I have no idea. Oh, okay. Would you want to guess first? Because I do know this one. Well, okay. It's from that song. You put it on, right? Like you put on the Riz. No? Sorry, that's been serious or is that a joke? It's definitely a joke. I have no idea what Riz is.
Starting point is 00:39:42 I have no clue. Riz is a kind of, it's, I think generally it's just the kind of, it's having like chat and like being able to be attractive sort of broadly. But I think specifically it might even be, it's an almost kind of enigmatic, quite cool. kind of a, you know, a bit like, oh, what's her name? There's certain celebrities who have a kind of attractiveness about them, and they're not even like conventional as such. They're just like, oh, my God, just look at her Riz.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Okay, Riz-Lawson is oozing in Riz. So you have Riz. It's not that you are Riz, you have Riz, you have, you possess Riz. Yes, yes. Cool, I had no idea. Not heard that one. I might not have been there when you talked about it. I am going to give...
Starting point is 00:40:36 There's a new word every week, Peter. Yeah. They keep coming out with new ones. At the word factory. He's got to stop making up new words. So I am going to give Peter the point there because he's hitting the nail on the head in a sentence. It would be cooking mama definitely has Riz. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:51 Yeah, she does. The definition, and this is not... I didn't know this about the origin of the word. I don't know how truthful it is. I don't know. The internet's full of lies, but this sounds believable. Riz actually... comes from the word charisma
Starting point is 00:41:03 where in southern southern Baltimore they've started to shorten it to Rizma and then simply to Riz and yes it does also like to have Riz is also just have sex appeal or yeah yeah yeah man
Starting point is 00:41:18 right this is this is the trickiest one of the bunch I think well it's the most weird I'm going to also put this in Discord as I say it because it just sounds like a word just just sounds Chugi Chugi
Starting point is 00:41:34 Oh Ashton taught us this one But I can't remember what it is I've heard Chuggy before We had to ask her to explain it Really? Yeah We've definitely
Starting point is 00:41:46 We've definitely been told about Chuggy But I can't remember Can I ask Mikey Is it short for something? It is not Okay so it's an original word Yes entirely original
Starting point is 00:42:01 I'm going to say that this is something that generations above them either boomers or you know kind of us are kind of it's a word that they give to people who are older than them and aren't down with it I think you've got it yeah it describes it's like
Starting point is 00:42:22 is it like millennial energy or something like oh that's so chuggy like it's not cool right or something yeah millennials it's very appropriate that we both forgot what it meant actively describes us you both chuggy AF but I'm going to give you both a point there because Peter got the like 90% of the way
Starting point is 00:42:42 but the 10% you gave Ben I don't deserve a point for that Peter got it okay Peter got it Peter got it I think it's specifically millennial and I said broadly anyone kind of either Gen X or millennial
Starting point is 00:42:54 I knew it is like you know a term against millennials who kind of like you know what kind of considered unfashionable now but they stick to their trends rather than conforming to the new trends so that's chugie a f um but um the online dictionary i have also um the dictionary definition i have also listed it's just a general general terms but yeah i'm going to say it's more millennial leaning than anything though yeah i don't yeah i think that's what i was thinking yeah in a sentence it would be sarah still wears ogs all the time
Starting point is 00:43:25 that's so chuggy that i couldn't think of it's toogy that's chuggy as hell i couldn't think of of idiots where to use chugie. They're still playing Minecraft in 2023. That's so chuggy. Oh, God, wow. All right, like that. Well, thank you, boys,
Starting point is 00:43:40 for filling in the gaps. Beautiful work. You're welcome. Thank you. And the full definition I have in front of me is the opposite of trendy. Styleish in middle school and high school, but no longer in style.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Wait, I think that's when the word. I was never stylish in middle school or high school. Used when someone still follows out-of-date trends. This may include, but not be limited to fashion, habits on social media, usage of slang, etc. So yeah, just when you're not down with the kids, you're chugie. Okay, that's us then. All right, we have got one, two, three, four left.
Starting point is 00:44:14 This is... I'm having a great time, Mikey. This is fun. Yeah, this is great. Well, I think you're going to learn a new one here because this was news to me. Okay. Discord kitten. Oh, Ben.
Starting point is 00:44:26 Oh, Ben. I've heard of this. No way. Yes. This is a person who is obviously on Discord in servers and sort of plays like the character of an exclusive partner of someone else in that Discord server in exchange for, it might be something as niche as Discord Bucks or whatever the equivalent is. And is that kind of the ballpark? That's not even the ballpark. that's a home run that is exactly it come on i could be a discord kitten yes yes yes yes
Starting point is 00:45:05 yeah come on man one minor correction it's for discord nitro that's the that's it that's what it's called thing you're looking for discord books so you pretend to be someone's partner kind of um it's like role it's like weird role play like yeah you you show them preferential treatment it's like a weird status symbol on this or something i know it's fucking strange man like getting the girlfriend experience for the price of a night show subscription. What a deal. In a sentence, the Vidyat's Discord is full of Discord kittens.
Starting point is 00:45:38 It's not. No, it's not. It could be, though. It could be after this. And the full definition is, a Discord kitten is someone who receives pampering from another person through Discord servers. They usually receive gifts like Discord Nitro and virtual items. In return, they provide their providers,
Starting point is 00:45:58 with companionship or an online relationship. In layman's terms, a Discord kitten is synonymous with a sugar baby. Right. So, yeah, there you go. Get yourself on Discord kitten. Another, I think these do get a bit, yeah, this next one's totally lost on me, but maybe Ben Potter or Peter Austin. You're both neck and neck, three for three.
Starting point is 00:46:20 So you're both equally Gen Z. Glazing. That's a sex thing, but probably not in this context. Glazing. Glazing. You can put the, you can put two together with that one, I'm sure. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:46:41 I don't know what Jamesese would call it. Would you like it in a sentence? Sure. Yeah, go on then. The Vidiot's best feature is their constant glazing of Dave Benson Phillips. Oh, that sounds really wrong now. You've said, well, yeah, that's awful. We're not glazing with Benz Phillips.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Peter. is it essentially just sort of i don't want to say making fun of because that implies that we make fun of benson phillips we do sort of having yeah having having having humorous conversation about would be my guess i realize i've i've done a folly in my definition in that we don't glaze over david benson phillips let's say oh i see we glaze over dick and dom let's say right i mean i would have a different guess now but ben you might want to go ahead Okay, with that additional context, I'm assuming it's like, we Stan. Yeah, simping.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Yeah, yeah, I'll give that. Isn't Stan a Gen Z term? I had to be told what that meant when that first happened a few years ago. Is it true that Stan originates from the M&M song? I mean, that's what I've been told, that it does actually mean, yeah, you're sort of behaving like Stan did over Slim. Yeah, a combination of Fan and Stalker, Stan, which was first coined by Eminem. Oh, and he caught. Oh, I see. Right. Yeah, there you go.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Okay, so thoroughly not Gen Z then. No. No, actually, absolutely not. But Gen Z, you've made it popular again. Yeah, I've been popularized it. I've forgotten where we were. Ben, did you give an answer? I think, yeah, I think I suggested Stan as a... It's...
Starting point is 00:48:17 I'm going to say no, because this is a bit more specific than Stan, but it's in the right ballpark. Would you like the definition? Yes. Yeah. To overly praise someone or be overly... overly obsessed with someone. See also, Dick eating and meat riding.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Oh, fair. Hey, all right. So, yeah, I guess it's like egregiously, like, being positive at someone, like being really into their shit. Like, oh, you're glazing them. Right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:44 That's it. That's a zero. So we got two left, and you're both still neck and neck. So let's see, he will be crown champion. Or maybe you'll both be champions. This is an easy one. So get fingers on buzzers.
Starting point is 00:48:57 Cap. or no cap or slash no cap. Ben. Oh, I don't know that. Oh, Ben. Go on. So this is two words, cap. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:09 And no cap. If you can define both, then you'll be a shining star. No, I think from the context I've heard, no cap means I'm not, I'm not joking. This is like, for real, no cap. And I'm assuming the opposite is true of cap is that it's bullshit. I'm joking. It's not real. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Absolutely. Beautiful. Exemplary. Exemplary. In a sentence, it would be, we interviewed Brian Butterfield, no cap. And yes, you're right. Cap means lying and no cap means the truth. No cap. For real. For real. Right. Do you know what I feel like? I feel like that screenshot that used to go around on the internet of, it was like a news site that had distributed a thing saying, this is what the emojis that your children are sending to each of that actually means. mean it was like a combination of like a frog and a bus or something and that means or let's all go and let's get let's go smoke weed or whatever you know and i'm just learning this like foreign language that's probably not even it's like cringe even if i do learn it you know what i mean if i was like like start using no cap on the internet that would still be chugy it's evolving so fast it'll mean something different or be obsolete like this time next week yeah it's terrible well we'll be living right last one so ben you can either end in ben being victorious or you both
Starting point is 00:50:34 being equals and this is this is a tricky one so don't feel bad if you don't get it the phrase it's a phrase not a word is beat your face to beat your face beat your face beat your face so violent face. If you want the sentence, holler, or if you want to take a wild stab, that's also very welcome. I have no idea. No, like, no, I can't think of a guess, a decent guess. I'd like to hear the sentence. The sentence is, I've got a hot date tonight with Mr. Blobby, so I'm going to beat my face.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Peter. Does it mean to put makeup on and get yourself ready? Get yourself looking. Yes, to beat your face is to apply makeup to the face. How did they get there? Well, you're just punching your face with brushes and stuff, I guess. It's so aggressive. It is aggressive.
Starting point is 00:51:37 I think it's particularly like aggressive amounts of makeup. Oh, right. So yeah, if you beat your face. So you're going to cake my face in makeup. Tasty, tasty cake. And at the end of that, I'm glad to announce that you're both winners to this. there, boys. Great.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Are we both officially Gen Z? Yeah, you can get to wear little Gen Z stickers and do TikToks and stuff now. Do you find little dancers in the street on your phone? That's the Gen Z lifestyle. Richard's going to be so proud of us. Yeah, she's raised you well. She's raised you well. Next time I see my siblings in law who are at the coming to the end of high school,
Starting point is 00:52:17 I'll be able to talk to them and they'll think I'm really cool now. Yeah, I think they might still call you Chuggy and it'll hurt. No, they weren't. They'll think I'm like really, really down with the kids. Well, ask them if they've got any Discord kittens, and then they'll be like, wow, Peter's cool. Anyway, thank you very much, boys, for playing this silly little quiz. That was fantastic. Thank you, Michael.
Starting point is 00:52:38 It was great. Thanks, Mikey. My listener-submitted thing comes courtesy of oppressive squid on Twitter. This is an article from perth now.com.a.u, written by Rachel Fenner, Singapore Airline pays New Zealand couple $1,410 in compensation after dog farted during flight to Paris. Wow. Oh.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Are you ready to learn more? Yes. A pair of Singapore airline passengers have earned themselves some gas money after a four-legged flatulent traveller blew them out for 13 hours. Oh, God. New Zealand couple Gill and Warren Press
Starting point is 00:53:20 say the dog was farting and snorting so badly they moved from premium seats to economy oh this has to be a french bulldog this has to be a french bulldog i'm putting my money in now i can send you a photo of the dog oh please you can i don't know what breed this is you can decipher um while you do that oh oh it's a type of bulldog but that's not french kind of looks like a staffy almost yeah hmm yeah i'm gonna say it's staffy but it's got something else in it. Anyway, it farts a lot and that's what matters. It farts a lot, yeah. After months of emailing the airline, the pair said they have received
Starting point is 00:53:54 $1,410 in compensation, which they plan to donate to an animal charity. To an animal charity, actually, it says. I heard this noise, a heavy snorting, said Gil Press. Oh my God, this article. I heard this noise, a heavy snorting, said Gil Press, told stuff. Stuff is an outlet, I assume. I thought it was my husband's phone, but we looked
Starting point is 00:54:15 down and realized it was the dog breathing. I said, I'm not having this sitting next to us the whole trip. The dog's owner told other passengers that the pet got anxious, which was why he was travelling in the cabin. The pair told a flight attendant, they were uncomfortable, and were told the only other seats were in economy. Then things really ramped up when the dog began to fart, which made its presence intolerable, it says in quotes.
Starting point is 00:54:40 My husband was in short and was getting the dog's saliva goo on his leg, Gill said. Well, see, that is. just irresponsible owners as well, like, all right, they can't help if it farts, but why are they letting the dog slobber on the guy's legs? I agree. They said it wasn't that they didn't like dogs, but that they believed the airline should have notified them of the dog's presence in advance. Initially, the couple received an apology and $273 gift vouchers. Gil didn't think this covered the difference in cost between premium and economy seats. Nearly a month later, the airline counted with two travel vouchers worth about $118 each. That's the end of the article. I do not
Starting point is 00:55:17 understand what mathematics has gone on to say that there was compensation of $1,410. Right. Because by my count, that is two times $118, which is not that amount. Oh, no. Weird. Perth now. You have not written this very well. Good job, Beth, though.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Wow. That's a very slim article, isn't it? It is. Yeah, they didn't even bother with the padding out of the, you know, telling us what a dog is or something like that but the stuff article's much better I'll switch over to that once you've finished your point Peter
Starting point is 00:55:52 I was just going to say I'm surprised that they don't say that there's going to be a dog in the cabin because what if someone had an allergy yeah absolutely and in premium wanker seats as well yeah yeah press said she overheard the dog's owner telling another passenger that he gets anxious and that's why the dog
Starting point is 00:56:08 was with him in the cabin but press said it was the dog that appeared it to be in a distressed sense oh okay so that's that's another thing that Perth now has got wrong it wasn't the dog that got distressed, it was the owner that got distressed, and that's why the dog was with him. And that's why the dog was with him. Oh, I see. Press raised their discomfort with a flight attendant
Starting point is 00:56:25 who said the only other seats available were in the back row of economy. The couple decided to stay put, but about halfway through the flight, the dog's presence had become intolerable due to the smell. It was farting, press said, as well as the space it was occupying in her husband's leg room, as it was far too large for its owner's seat space. The passenger couldn't have the dog
Starting point is 00:56:43 out in the aisle because they couldn't get the trolleys through, so it had to come in further, his head was under my husband's feet. My husband was in shorts and was getting the dog's saliva goo on his leg, sorry. Press said they spoke to the flight attendant who said he could now offer seats in the front row of the economy cabin that had earlier been reserved for staff. As the couple moved seats, they were assured an incident report had been filed and they could expect to hear from the airline. But after a week passed and they heard nothing, press emailed the airline's customer service team to complain. Two weeks later, the airline emailed back and apologized for the incident, offering each of them,
Starting point is 00:57:16 A SG $100, what's that? Oh, Singapore dollar. Singapore dollar or New Zealand $125 gift voucher for the airline's Chris Shop website. Oh, my God. Press responded saying that didn't reflect the difference in value between their premium economy seats and the economy seats they ended up sitting in. Over three weeks later, the airline responded this time offering a travel voucher of New Zealand dollars $200 per person. But press said this was still unacceptable, and she was now seeking a full refund for that leg of the journey, which they had booked through Air New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:57:48 They were frustrated. It had been more than two months. Blah, blah, blah. Singapore Airlines reiterated an apology. As of April, the first Singapore Airlines no longer allows emotional support dogs on board its flight. Oh, this dog ruined it for everyone.
Starting point is 00:58:03 That's the real headline here. Is it dogs are no longer allowed on airplanes? Because of this one, farting. Because of this stinky boy. Well, next time, bring. Bring your dog shreddies along, at least. Good God. Yeah, a little dog mope.
Starting point is 00:58:19 I'm surprised as well. Like, so, all right, emotional support animals, like, that's, you know, if an airline wants to allow it, that's fine. But, like, I'd have thought they would then maybe say that you have to pay for an extra seat. And I'm not, I don't mean it enough. I'm not trying to be funny. Like, you know, the dog needs to sit there with, like, a seatbelt on and listen to the safety announcements.
Starting point is 00:58:42 But just for the space, like, it can't stand in the aisle. as the article just said. So where is it supposed to be? Yeah. Just under the legs, which is where it was, which just does not seem practical. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Under the seat. And surely if it's in the walkway, that's probably a breach of like safety stuff. You know, they say like don't leave stuff in the walkway. So I don't know. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:59:06 I think it depends on the size of the dog, speaking as someone who has a mother who has taken a small chihuahua on planes with quite a few. few times now. He just sits in a little soft basket on a knee. Yeah, I can imagine. But I think, yeah, sometimes I put him in the hold.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Right. Yeah, that would work far more, you know, far better than, you know, the dog in that picture, which is going to get literally under your feet and get in the way. Yeah. Poor buddy. Per buddy. There we are. That's my listener submitted thing.

Starting point is 01:00:13 yes my real boy thing is it's not super long it's something that I've been thinking about bringing along for a while but I've always said no I won't because it's not really enough of it but hey I'm doing it now okay other reason other than well partly because it'll get us warmed up for spooky month so the next episode of Pollyett's falls very close to Halloween so perhaps we'll do some spooky things then but this is spooky it's time soon this is a strange and mysterious thing in the lead-up to true spooky time. So this is a weirdcapitia. It is an article called Lead Mask's Case. So this is it. The Lead Mask's case, Portuguese, Mysterio Das Maskadas de Chumbo,
Starting point is 01:01:00 which literally means mystery of the lead masks. DeCumbo. DeCumbo. C-U-M-B-O. Sure, okay. It involves a series of events which led to the death of two Brazilian electronic technicians, Manuel Pereira de Cruz and Miguel Jose Viana, who had last been seen
Starting point is 01:01:23 by their families on August the 17th, 1966. Their bodies were discovered on August the 20th, 1966, and the cause of their deaths has never been determined. There are various bits of Portuguese in this article, which I will either avoid where possible or butcher where not possible. So, this is the event. On the afternoon of August the 20th, 1966, a young boy was flying a kite on the Morrow Dovintem, that's Vintame Hill, in Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro,
Starting point is 01:01:57 when he came upon the two bodies of deceased males and reported them to the authorities. The Morrow Do Vintem had difficult terrain, and the police were unable to reach the bodies until the next day. I don't really know how a child could find the bodies and report them to the police but the police couldn't then go
Starting point is 01:02:15 and I guess maybe with all their equipment but anyway they couldn't reach the bodies till the next day. When a small team of police and firefighters arrived they encountered an odd scene the bodies rested next to each other
Starting point is 01:02:28 partly covered by grass each body wore a formal suit a lead eye mask and a waterproof coat there were no signs of major trauma or any evidence of a struggle next to the corpses police found an empty water bottle
Starting point is 01:02:41 and a packet containing two wet towels. A small notebook was also identified on which were written the cryptic instructions in Portuguese. 1630, as in the time, 1630, be at the specified location, 1830, ingest capsules,
Starting point is 01:03:01 after the effect, protect metals, await signal mask. Ooh. Strange. The two men were identified as Manuela Pereira de Cruz and Miguel Jose Viana, two electronic technicians from Campos Dos Goytecazes, a town several kilometers to the northeast of Rio de Janeiro. Following an investigation, police
Starting point is 01:03:25 reconstructed a plausible narrative of the men's last days. On August 17th, Cruz and Viana left Campos Dos Goyta Cazes, with the stated intent that they needed to purchase some materials for work. The two men then boarded a bus to Niteroy and arrived at 2.30pm. Evidence shows that the waterproof coats were then purchased at a shop there and one bottle of water from a local bar. Upon being interviewed, the waitress from the bar described Miguel as very nervous and noticed he frequently checked his watch. This is the last time they were known to have been seen alive and it's presumed they went directly from the bar to the spot at which they were discovered. No obvious injuries were discovered at the scene, nor later at the autopsy,
Starting point is 01:04:12 which took place weeks later. The coroner's office was very busy at the time, and when the autopsy was finally conducted, the internal organs of the two victims were too badly decomposed for reliable testing. Because of this delay, testing for toxic substances was not conducted. So we now move on to the theories. And there's not much here. It's five lines of text, and that's the end of the article. So these are the theories. There are multiple theories that have been proposed
Starting point is 01:04:42 to explain this case, ranging from foul play to UFOs, of course. Yes. Which we don't go into, fortunately. One theory revolves around the testimony of a friend of the two men
Starting point is 01:04:54 who claimed that they were members of a group of scientific spiritualists. The men were apparently attempting to contact extraterrestrials or spirits using psychedelic drugs. Believing that such an encounter will be accompanied by blinding light, the men cut metal masks to shield their eyes and may have died of drug overdoses. This account is corroborated by the esoteric diary entry found at the scene
Starting point is 01:05:21 and by mask-making materials and literature-concerning spirits found at the men's homes. How strange. And that's it. That's all we get from Wikipedia with this story. Well, that's pretty much all that's known. It's still unsolved. No one knows exactly what brought them there. They don't know what the cause of death was because they were too badly decomposed by the time they were, you know, the coroner dealt with them.
Starting point is 01:05:48 So two men, 1966 in their suits, dead with some lead masks and a very strange note. That's all we know, really. Oh, spooky. Yeah, I'm very, I like the theory that it's like spiritual scientists getting weird for a bit. I mean, that's what I want to believe. I like the practical aspect of like, right, we're going to go, we're going to take some psychedelic drugs and see some ghosts or aliens or whatever. But let's keep in mind, there is going to be some blinding heavenly light when we see ghosts.
Starting point is 01:06:21 So let's take some masks. I'm all right. We've got to protect our eyes. Like, I feel like if I was in that situation, I wouldn't think of that. I'd be like, oh, yeah, we'll go take the drugs and we'll meet the aliens. Like, I wouldn't then think of actually the flying saucer that arrives might burn my retinas. so I best take a mask with me. But clearly they've been doing a lot of reading
Starting point is 01:06:42 and they know what to expect. Do you reckon they succeeded in their mission? Maybe. Hey, maybe that's what happened. Their spirits were taken away. Yeah. All we can say is that you shouldn't do what they did. Do not do what they did.
Starting point is 01:07:00 No, definitely not. Until we have confirmation now that it works. Until we have confirmation and then we can all do it. do what everybody else does smoke some weed eat a pizza have a wank and go to bed alright you'll be fine you'll feel a lot better tomorrow yeah yeah and wear a mask while you do it why not just wear a mask for fun
Starting point is 01:07:17 why not yeah but not a lead one probably that's not good no that that too yeah um yeah those plastic ones those fun ones you could be like Captain America maybe yeah you get one of those um or the Hulk yeah yeah I was thinking Hulk mask pizza on

Starting point is 01:20:47 Thank you, Mikey. Thank you, Desi. Thank you, Desi. It is now time for my thing which I'm desperately hoping we've not talked about before because it feels like something we might have done but I'm going to say the headline
Starting point is 01:20:59 and we'll see if either of you go I've done that before this is an article from Storage2.com written by Kate Zicuitz back in December 2018 the headline is Dr Liston and the surgery that killed three people
Starting point is 01:21:18 Well, it doesn't bring any bells No, it doesn't bring a bell Okay, good, thank fuck for that Alright, here we go, let's learn about this A new exhibition has recently opened at the Bruce Museum The Dawn of Modern Medicine Selections from the Medical Artifact Collection of M. Donald Blowfox, MD, Ph.D., Phyllis.
Starting point is 01:21:36 Blow fox? Yep. I'll put it in the chat, see if you want to pronounce that differently, but that looks like Blowfox to me. Blowfox? Yeah, I think Blowfox. That's, ah, never mind. Blue fox, blow fox.
Starting point is 01:21:50 Yeah, can we say blow fox? Fox Latio. Listen, M. Donald Fox Latio. This exhibit chronicles the changing field of medicine throughout the 19th century, including the advent of anesthesia, germ theory, and diagnostic instruments like x-ray machines and stethoscopes. It was a fascinating time of scientific advancement and discovery, and one of the doctors operating during this time period
Starting point is 01:22:10 was Dr. Robert Liston, 1794 to 1847. Dr. Liston was an English surgeon, and one of some renown. In the days before anesthesia, surgeries were a dangerous and traumatic affair. Patients were conscious as they were operated on, and surgeries needed to be as fast as possible to minimize pain, panic, and blood loss. One in four people died after surgery, either on the operating table or from infection after. What about Dr. Liston? Only one in ten of his patients died. Ooh, good numbers. His success stemmed from two different factors.
Starting point is 01:22:46 For one thing, he washed his hands. In those days, surgeons wore their bloodied aprons proudly. It was considered finicky and prudish to be preoccupied with cleanliness, and surgeons would often go from one surgery to another covered in blood and pus from their previous operations. Oh, God. Many people fell ill and died from the resulting infections. Dr. Liston not only washed his hands,
Starting point is 01:23:08 he washed his medical instruments between surgeries as well. Fantastic. These small efforts at obtaining a cleaner surgical environment doubtlessly saved the lives of many of his patients. The other factor in his survival rate was a matter of great pride for Dr. Liston. Speed! Dr. Liston was famous for his incredible surgical speed and could amputate a leg in only two and a half minutes.
Starting point is 01:23:33 When you're enduring surgery while awake and aware. Did everyone tell him it's not a race that you can do it as slow as you need to? Well, they would die like... in 30 seconds, please. There's no anaesthesia. You want it done. I guess, I guess. That's true. That's true. When you're enduring surgery while awake and aware, you want a surgeon who will get it done quickly. People drawn by this reputation, by his reputation, sorry, would sit in his waiting room for days hoping to be seen.
Starting point is 01:23:58 Not only was Dr. Liston fast, he was also a showman. Many surgeries of the time were carried out in an operating theatre, a room in a hospital or university, where spectators could watch, much like when Peter saw a fly land on a brain that time. Oh, yeah. Before a surgery, Dr Liston would tell the audience, Time me, gentlemen, time me! To put his legendary speed to the test. For the most part, his speed helped patients survive.
Starting point is 01:24:23 Unfortunately, other times, it backfired dramatically. During one leg amputation, he accidentally castrated a patient in his haste to remove the limb. Oh, God. Another mishap was even more dire. On that fateful day, Dr. Liston was performing a. another leg amputation. As he moved with lightning speed, he accidentally cut off the fingers of the assistant who had been holding the patient down. Then, as he brought his knife back up, he slashed the coat of a spectator. The spectator fell over, dying immediately of fright. Though the assistant
Starting point is 01:24:57 I don't know how, though the assistant and patients survived. Though the assistant and patient survived the immediate procedure. They died not long after from infection. Thus, despite Dr. Liston's successes, he became the only surgeon in known history to have a 300% mortality rate from a single operation. Wow. Even though Dr. Liston's failures were uniquely memorable, he still saved far more lives than he cost. He eventually became the first surgeon to use anesthesia during surgery and invented medical tools like the Liston knife that are still in use today. Also, there's a chance that the story of his deadly surgery may just be an urban legend. No first-hand account exists for this event, and it may be more exaggeration than truth.
Starting point is 01:25:42 Sadly, as with the case of many stories from history, we may never know exactly what happened that day. So this is a meme that sometimes goes around. It's just like an old-timey picture of him. I will send it to you now in the chat. Look at his fantastic mutton chops. I was going to say, I bet he's got amazing. facial hair. And it's got the caption like, this man killed three people in one surgery, but it may not have actually been real. So make sure you fact check and actually you can't because we don't know is the answer. Well, so I thought you were going to say at the end of this,
Starting point is 01:26:16 well, I didn't think necessarily whether you would say or not, but I thought this might be based in some like actual first-hand account that, you know, it's known to be true. But given that there is a good or some chance that it's not true, I'm going to say also the idea that someone just died of fright is potentially not necessarily that believable. I know people had, you know, a weaker disposition in days of old and people would
Starting point is 01:26:41 collapse a bit more easily and, yeah, people were shocked by things far more, they had a lower threshold for shock, but I don't know if people actually, even back then, were just dying of fright necessarily.
Starting point is 01:26:57 It sounds like it was probably if they, if it was real and they did collapse. It was probably something else. Maybe they had a heart attack or something and, you know, who knows? Died of fright is a bit vague. Yeah. But there we are. That's my thing. And thus
Starting point is 01:27:13 concludes all of our things. This week, thank you to everybody who submitted a thing to us and make sure you keep an eye out for future thing requests. We will be back in a couple of weeks' time, hopefully with an episode of Spooky It. So if you're going to submit a thing, make sure it's scary. Some weird, scary news or whatever from near you.
