Wanna play a game
Oh my God
Sorry, sorry
No, I don't think I do
Would you like to play a game with me
Will you play a game with me?
I wish that's how he said it
Hello
Will you
Would you like to play a game
Yes, yes Jigsaw
I would love to
Okay
Michael Johnson
Will you like to play a game with me
I'd be absolutely
I would be absolutely
I was going to say enamoured
That's not the word, but I would be enamored to play a game with you.
Okay, cool.
Well, I'm going to do it anyway, regardless of the intent of the words that you've chosen there.
So, back in episode 123, Michael Johnson did the thing about how some high school seniors did a quote-unquote prank by pouring cement into the toilets of their school, which we unanimously agreed was a crime.
Criminal damage.
Yes, absolutely.
Not a prank.
No.
But in response, Kevin thought it would be.
a good idea to see if we have any criminals amongst us, and by us I mean the Pod Squad
and extended Pod Squad listenership. Well, we've all defaced Google Maps, so yes. Yes, we do.
That's a crime. Yes. That is a crime. So I have in front of me a number of potential crimes,
but quote-unquote pranks that people have committed, that they have admitted to on at viduets.
dot official on Instagram.
And so I'm going to read them to you one of the time
and I want you guys to decide whether or not they are a crime
or whether it's just a prank.
Bro? Okay.
It's just a prank, bro.
Ready for the first one?
Yes.
We once convinced our mate that when he farted it smelled like two peas.
This went on for a week or so and he went to the GP.
The GP asked what do you think two peas smell like
and ended with, I think your mates are having you on.
We almost died with laughter when he.
he told us. Oh my God. God. There's a lot to break down there. The fact that it's
specifically two peas, not just loose change or copper. Copper coins. Um, he went to the
doctor. Is gaslighting illegal? Gaslighting. I mean,
should be gaslighting. Certainly. Um, but I would say borderline criminal,
because that's wasting. That's wasting NHS time there, my friends. That's, that's a risky
It is.
It is.
And I suppose it's verging on sort of, as you say, it's gaslighting, which is a kind of emotional abuse, isn't it, really?
So definitely borderline criminal, perhaps a civil matter.
Yes.
Yeah, at the very best, your bad friends.
Left a note, guess what I changed on a colleague's desk on holiday.
I changed nothing drove him mad.
I think that's a good prank.
I like that one.
That's a perfect prank.
Yep, yep.
Okay. Got my brother to try death sauce, and when he wasn't looking, covered the rim of his milk glass with more.
Ooh.
What's the grounds of assault? I'm going to speak to the court here. Ladies and gentlemen, what is you? What is it? I would like, that's unexpected bodily harm. I think maybe they signed up for a little bit of pain, but then you going in and rimming the glass with it. That's, that's, that's, that's, that's not.
Not what it's good.
Remind the glass.
Reminds me of when I was an undergrad at uni,
it was a very, very accepted thing that people used to do
where if someone looked away,
you might pour a bit of your drink into someone else's.
Yeah.
Just to like mix it.
Or put some vinegar in or something.
Well, yeah, not even that.
But just, you know, you pour some of your beer in someone's wine or something.
And that would be a little, I got you.
That's a trick.
And I was so in the habit of doing it that then in my,
the following year when I was a post grad
with a bunch of new people
on like the perhaps the third night
we were hanging out in our kitchen
I did it to someone who happened to be female
and the guy sitting next to me was like
what you do do not do not put something in
someone else's drink and I was like
you know what like fair enough I that was
that's on me but that was purely
based on you know it's habitual
you know it wasn't meant to be sinister but these things
you know it's subjective isn't it
if you put death sauce around the room
of someone's glass without them knowing.
What is that?
I don't know.
Attempted murder.
Yeah.
Yes, murder.
Straight to court.
Straight to jail.
Photoshopped my friend's neck so long.
It took up five picture frames and then set it up in his front room.
Top prank.
Perfect.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it's.
Okay.
Put watered down shampoo in a vodka bottle and told a friend it was special golden vodka.
Crime.
That is a crime.
That's poison.
You poisoned your friend.
put a photo of Jack Nicholson in the shining inside a display fridge for customers to find
not even a prank I think that's just a fun little activity yeah that's a fun little game
yeah yeah replaced the water in a kettle with strong bow mates mum made coffee the next day
with it now bear in mind I did once try to boil a kettle full with milk as a child because
That made logical sense to me.
To get hot milk.
To get hot milk.
It's warm, yeah.
I mean, I don't, that's also an interesting one because alcohol boils at 70-something degrees C.
So it would, I think all the alcohol would come out.
But even if it didn't, it's not.
Is that highly dangerous if you were nearby?
Yeah, alcoholic vapour.
I think it has a flashpoint.
It may be.
Oh, God.
But everything has a flashpoint.
I don't know.
Without the boiling aspect, that is just a bit of a prank
Because it's not going to poison her, is it?
She's just going to drink her tea and go, oh, no, what's wrong?
But, no, the boiling aspect seems a bit darky.
I'm going to err on the side of not a crime.
I don't think at worst, at the end of that, you get an Irish tea.
Helium balloons tied personal alarms to them,
and released in PE assembly halls and main foyer.
Okay.
So they set off alarms but tied them to helium balloons
so no one could get them down on the top of these halls.
That's a prank, I think.
That's just a prank.
Yeah.
Just a prank, bro.
Yeah.
Okay.
Took a colleague's car keys off her desk and moved her car to a different car park.
That's illegal.
That is a natural crime.
Yeah, that is absolutely out of order.
What the hell?
That's called twok in the police work.
world, taking without consent. Yeah.
Because joyriding implies that it's fun.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Printed off 110 photos of small monkey John Deer and filled my brother's room with them.
Mikey, you're not allowed to respond to our own polls.
Damn it.
Not a crime.
No, that's not a crime.
That's just how I decorate my bedroom.
It gave a friend a big dollop of whipped butter instead of ice cream that they requested.
That's a prank.
It's a lot of work to go into a prank
There, whipping butter
Yeah
That's a prank
In the middle of the night
Filled our friends Renault 5
With unravelled toilet roll
And it says in brackets
97 rolls
That's a crime against
The planet, I think
Yeah
Yeah, that's an eco crime
Yeah
But what's the planet going to do
Take it to court?
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
Yeah, I think that's final
That's fine
And then every time he needs a bathroom
pop out to the car, rip off a few bits, head back inside.
Yeah, just keep them in there.
Yeah.
Just go for it, yeah.
Got a final couple here.
Put beef bullion cubes in a pool filter made a big soup.
Oh, lovely.
What is that?
Is that just like overall?
Bavril cubes.
I don't know.
Stock cube.
Beef bullion, yeah.
Who's pool?
Did it say?
No, didn't say.
I like to think a public pool.
Potentially criminal damage, I think.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm actually, I'm going to say criminal. I'm going to say criminal. Yeah.
Yeah.
And finally, I pranked my friends into appreciating me as a person by generally being kind and nice.
That's a crime. That's fraud, actually.
Yeah, yeah. Just pretending.
Big crime. Biggest. How dare you?
All right, so we've got a lot of filthy criminals in our midst by the sounds of it.
So many. Call the police.
Yeah.
It's dreadful out here.
Yeah.
Every single one.
We know your names as well.
We've got them pointed down.
Hand yourselves in, everybody.
You've been warned.
Yeah.
Well, thanks Kevin for sorting those out.
Thanks, but he has got one of the job, hasn't he, for this episode and all episodes.
He has.
Hello, everybody.
And welcome to Pottie. It's the official video.
Idiots.
Podcast.
It's a conversational podcast where we take some questions from you at home and obey the law of the three us, where everybody brings a thing along to talk about.
I'm Ben.
I'm Petey.
Petey.
I'm Petey.
Whoa.
And I'm Micah.
A full rebrand of your personal profile.
Little Petey.
I was just thinking of the word Mikey.
I couldn't help it.
It just came out.
Junking the gun.
I am Micah.
Yeah, you're Micah.
Lovely.
Well, nice to meet you too.
I don't think we've spoken before.
No.
No, no.
Got to update all the socials beneath all the videos now.
Yeah, glad those other guys are gone.
They were rubbish.
Yeah.
I didn't want to say it, but it's nice that you, you know, you did it for me.
How are you guys?
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm all right.
How are you, Mikey?
I'm all right.
Yeah.
How are you doing, Ben?
Wouldn't even let you expand on it all right.
That was,
there's a good.
And you, Peter?
Hello?
How are you doing, Neb?
Looked over last time when it was time for his thing.
Oh, yeah.
He doesn't even get to tell us what's going on.
How are you doing, Mikey?
All right, cool.
Go on with it on.
Yeah, well, he's here, so that's what matters.
It was a British all right.
You know, I'm not actually interested.
I don't want to know.
Just say I'm okay.
And that's.
Then it's the next person's turn.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm okay.
I'm doing all right.
Just sitting here recording a podcast, you know?
Right.
Yeah.
It's an experience that we've all experienced.
Something happened to me and a friend recently that I've been, I meant to bring to the
previous episode and I kind of forgot.
And then someone submitted a thing this week that was relevant to it, which I've not brought
as my thing, but I will just go, because it's a quick thing now.
I'll just go through it now.
Idris Gazelba.
No, in fact, I'll tell you what happened first
before I tell you what Idris sent.
I went into a book shop
and my friend said to me,
oh, I've got that thing
where I need to take a shit
because I've walked into a bookshop.
Remember we talked about this?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And I realized, you know what?
I could definitely take a shit right now as well
all of a sudden.
I hadn't really clocked it,
but I was like, that has actually just happened to me too.
And I just didn't realize.
And Idris Gazelba sent an article where a doctor has revealed the medical reason
why you suddenly have the urge to poop when shopping.
The Japanese bookstore thing was reported in 1985,
and he explained,
it's unclear whether the urge is due to some sort of stimulus,
but possibly the anxiety of shopping could trigger the effect.
It says some people go to specific stores every single day just to be able
to use the restroom, would you believe?
So when the article says that they've revealed the medical reason,
what they've done is speculate on the various explanations
that have been posed since 1985.
But yeah, perhaps the stress of shopping,
perhaps the smell of coffee,
if you go in a place where it has a certain smell.
Some people think it's the opposite of the stress of shopping
and it's the relaxation of entering a shop that you like.
I don't know.
Pavlov's conditioning.
Yeah, I don't know.
But there you go.
That really did happen to me and a friend.
I didn't even know.
If they'd not pointed out to me,
wouldn't have even realized.
Classic peaty, that.
Yeah, that is a pity move.
Not knowing when he needs to take shit.
The turmoil of having to go to a certain toilet
that isn't your own to do your business.
Yeah.
Pools.
We all love doing Pooze at Pools, don't we?
It's true.
Yeah.
It's a go-to for me.
Absolutely.
Well, I mean, if we can't find, you know, the 97 rolls of toilet paper that's been stuffed into our friend's car and, you know, we needed to get some of our own, perhaps, then we could really rely on your support listeners.
And you can support us by going to pottyets.com and donating three pounds or more to get a shout out at the beginning and the end of the next episode of Poddietz.
You'll join Pod Squad.
We can buy our own toilet roll and facilitate.
all sorts of wonderful pranks and maybe some crimes as well.
Mikey, you're going to kick us off, please.
We begin with Fred D. Weber.
Caroline, can you check my mall?
Vrogly.
Have you seen this Lil Fwed?
Mr. Macca.
And she jack my Johnson till I?
Curious George, I assume is not related to the previous one.
Berto Rico Brothovich
Steven Scodes
You sweet piece of unco
That's right
Nighty Knight
So they've been done in the wrong order
And torso Evans
And finally we have
Sonic's erogenous
Zone Act 1
It's really good
It is really good
Starworms in-laws
Barry, it's Caroline
Call Me
Oh my God
Oh my God, we finally got the other side of the coin.
Oh, Barry.
Jesus.
Caroline's responded.
Caroline, we've become Pass A.
Gary's baculum and solid bike tires are best.
And thank you to that last one, because there was additional context that told me to upgrade my bike tires so they don't pop again.
Right.
Thank you.
Thank you for that.
And that is your pod squad for this week, everybody.
Poddiats.com, three pounds or more to get a shout at the beginning and the end of the next episode.
really helps us out and we really appreciate it.
Which one is your guy's favourite?
Sonic's Orogynous Zone Act 1, for sure.
I do wonder if the She Jack My Johnson
until I was just left intentionally blank
in the hopes that the next person who donated would complete it
and I like She Jack my Johnson until I'm curious George.
Yeah.
It's definitely Sonic's Orogynus So, Act 1.
Yeah, for sure.
That's a really good one.
It's nerdy and it's sexual and it's really silly.
I did also like Caroline, can you check my mole?
I hope Barry is all right.
He's got no one to check his moles at the moment.
No, Barry's been going through the ringer, isn't he?
Yeah.
Poor Baz.
But it sounds like Caroline wants to mend fences or at least reach out.
Maybe so.
Hopefully Barry's not done anything awful and that's why Caroline's getting in touch.
Yeah.
We'll never know.
Well, Peter Austin, I believe you are in charge of things this week.
That's correct.
Yes. Michael Johnson, as you were almost overlooked last episode, would you like to start with your listener submitted thing?
Or if you were submitted thing, because by the way, everyone, if you didn't know already, we now not only have a video version of this podcast, but we show pictures of what we're talking about, would you believe?
So, thank you.
Let everyone look at that if you like.
I'm going to take my justice and I'm going to read.
read, my viewer submitted thing.
This one, calling back to another thing I brought along quite a while ago now and was sent
in by several people, including Trailing Badger, Rory Traynor.
Is it Traynor or Trenner?
I think trainer.
Trayner.
Let's go Traynor.
Luddike and David Lever.
And this is a BBC news article.
And the headline reads,
Siegel Boy, nine.
European screeching competition.
Wow.
How long do Seagulls normally live?
That's an incredible lifespan for an adolescent or a child.
I think he lived longer than you would think.
Really?
Because that guy who feeds the seagull, he's called Stephen Seagull, actually.
Ten and 20 years.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think that's too old.
He's been on hitting the ASDA.
He's hopped up on Doritos and whatnot.
And that's the key.
Oh, wow, it looks almost like a person.
That's amazing.
I think the seagull's actually just eaten a small child.
He's having trouble digesting.
What's he holding there?
What did he win?
Well, maybe we'll find out in the article.
I think that might, that looks like, however, a hamper of sweet treats, perhaps.
A pacidise of sweet teats.
A nine-year-old British boy has won a European championship.
with his uncanny impression of a seagull.
Okay, there's a video at the top here.
Maybe we'll save the video of him doing it until the very end,
so we'll get all his back to him.
And then we'll experience what the award-winning screech.
Cooper from Chesterfield and Derbyshire traveled.
Cooper.
What's his name?
Cooper.
Cooper.
Oh, Cooper.
Oh, I thought you said, Pooper.
That would be a good seagull name, actually.
It would, yeah.
He was raised for this one destiny.
Pooper from Chesterfield and Derbyshire
traveled to the Belgian coastal town of Japan
to compete in the EC goal screeching competition.
Wow.
Yeah, that's that, now that's parenting right there.
Son, what do you want to do?
What's your hobby?
I want to screech in Belgium.
Right, let's go.
How loud can I be in this European country?
See, if my talents,
weren't confined to an elevate.
I could be in Brussels right now,
screeching up the halls.
Oh, another life.
He originally started doing Siegel impressions
after being nipped by one
while he was eating a tuna sandwich.
Whoa, is it like Spider-Man?
Yeah.
He's gained the power.
Oh, literally.
He wanted to become, quote,
Siegel Boy, like when Peter Parker became Spider-Man
after being bitten by a spider.
I think you mean Petty Parker.
Petty Parker, that's his name.
he said i feel like they are a really nice animal i like them because of their noise said cooper
oh god dp wouldn't agree no i think yeah us doing our stints in the yoggs office as well
wouldn't agree those boys are noisy sometimes they can be a bit scary and i'm still a bit wary of
eating i'm still a bit wary of eating at the beach so that's why i eat in a small tent oh
Huh?
What?
All the time.
All the time now, yeah.
Does he have to or does he like it?
He doesn't elaborate any more on that.
He said, well, the elaboration is the last meal I had at the beach was an ice cream.
Oh.
The last meal.
An ice cream.
All right.
Oh, and eat something in a tent.
Anything becomes a meal.
Yeah, it's true.
Cooper's mum, Lauren, said it was initially annoying when he started doing Siegel impressions.
I can imagine.
Then they realized he was really good at it.
Great.
People would start to turn around and look for the seagull, she said.
Oh my God, this is amazing.
The family heard about the competition from a random man
who overheard Cooper doing impressions at a soft player centre
and suggested Cooper could compete.
What?
You know, you hear stories about people who get into modelling
being stopped in shopping centres or whatever,
But I've never heard of a manga.
You sound just like a seagull.
Take my card.
You're going to go to the big leagues, buddy.
What are the odds that this man, A, even knew about the Belgian seagull competition,
and then B, ran into a champion seagull screamer at a soft play center.
Like, the two things.
It was just the stars aligned for this boy.
Yeah.
People say fate isn't real.
This is proof.
During the competition,
he scored 92 points out of a possible 100.
Wow.
Does it say what they're scored on?
Because quite frankly,
that's a fucking absurd score in any context.
Yeah,
it is.
Especially in how good is this Seagull impression?
I feel like,
I'm going to quickly try and do my own Seagull impression,
see how it goes.
I feel like you can get closed.
It's like a,
ah,
ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh.
No, that, that.
Yeah, Discord didn't like that.
It gave us nothing there.
Really?
Wow.
Oh, that's a little...
Well, I gave it full force.
It sounded beautiful.
I think that's a 93 out of 100.
So, wow.
This is a chord was thinking, like,
this is not human speech.
Definitely not.
I'm not sending this over the waves.
Something is wrong.
Is anyone in your property at the moment, Mikey?
I don't know.
Maybe.
Actually, I'm not sure.
Is my window open?
My window's open.
It's fine.
Just like the whole world here.
Maybe a pass-a-by will.
say, hey, have you heard about this competition in Belgium?
I was in a soft play centre
a couple of days ago, actually.
Really? Why? Yeah, no seagull
noises. Me and some friends
got together and two of us had never been to a trampoline
park. So we went
to one and it also
had this section that was
just this gigantic
corridors and stairs
and slides all just as
one big inflatable bouncy castle.
So when I say soft play centre, I don't mean the sort of squishy, non-bouncy stuff.
It was just a huge bouncy castle with all sorts of tunnels and things.
Got told off as well, which was good.
Of course.
If you don't get told off in the soft play area, are you doing it right?
Exactly.
We went in hoping to be told off at least once.
And we said, be careful.
We ran as fast as we could and build up some real speed and then fell.
They are possibly the worst idea from an insurance standpoint.
Yeah, we're to sign a waiver.
The adults are going to hurt themselves so badly.
We did have to sign away any responsibility on the part of the owners.
So, yeah, that was good.
I've got a load of videos, actually.
I can't mean he's put on social media of me, like, jumping off, like, ramps and things.
And they had a bit where they had some basketball hoops hooked up where you could slam dunk off a trampoline, which was cool.
Oh, so cool.
Oh, my God.
Did you drop any E before you went?
Of course.
Yeah, definitely.
Some coals?
Yeah.
Well, have you seen the price of those nowadays?
Actually, haven't, to be fair.
Over 20 quid a gram.
Ish.
No.
Sorry, so this boy, he got spotted, right?
At a soft player.
Champlain Park?
Yeah.
A soft player center during the competition,
scored 92 out of POS Board 100,
which meant he won the juvenile category
and also had the highest point score in the entire competition.
Wow.
So he should have won all the categories.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What the hell?
Yeah.
Oh, wait.
Okay.
The other categories were for adults and also for, quote, unquote, colonies,
meaning a group of people doing Siegel impressions.
Oh, okay.
For a single moment, there was a gathering of the most annoying people on the planet,
and they could have all been taken out in one go.
I want to know what like two out of a hundred seagull impression sounds like.
It's just someone mooing or, you know, just going quack, quack.
That's closer than some as he's a bird.
That's not too bad.
Cooper took his lucky mascot with him, a small model seagull, which he calls Stephen.
And his, a small model seagull, which he calls Stephen and his spell.
with a pH, but his parents
call Stephen Seagull like the actor
Steve. Sorry, I promise I'm not reading this sentence badly.
There's just words missing. Let me try again.
Cooper took his lucky mascot with him,
a small model seagull, which he calls Stephen,
and spells with a pH, but is Stephen,
call Stephen, call him Stephen Seagull.
Hang on what, his Stephen calls him Stephen?
No.
Are you right?
It does say, and his spells with a pH.
Yeah, that is all their.
over the place. I expect better from the BBC.
Come on, come on. We've definitely
read some bollocks from the tabloids on this
podcast before, but that should be better.
Caroline Lowbridge.
How dare you? Anyway,
his parents call something,
Stephen.
Caroline, please check your spelling.
His parents and grandparents
were there to support him, as was his
sister, Shelby, who had a
big cone of chips
made of foam.
And here's a picture
of the big
I am amazed
that it's not just
all right
Mick the kid's dad
take the boy over at Belgium
for a couple of days
and quell him
it's like all right
let's get the whole family together
let's do this right
I'm a big fan
this kid is bringing home to gold
or we're leaving him in Belgium
yeah
look at the eyes on that costume
he's wearing
it's not nice I don't like it
in fair it is a good costume
Jan says
a marine biologist
and one of the judges
peak of their career
said
he managed to include
several call types in his performance
and each of them resembled
a real Siegel call
in a most impressive way
I can't tell you how excited I am
to listen to this video
in fact
for me he was not only the best
of the young participants
but of all those who took part
in the championship
each judge awarded
sorry sorry
High praise, high praise
He's got a big career ahead of him
He'll go far kid
We'll wait till you hit the adult categories next time
Each judge awarded up to 20 possible points
With up to five points awarded
For how the competitors were dressed
And the behaviour they exhibited
So it's a fancy dress contest as well
Yeah, a little bit, yeah
And also acting, you know
And body the seagull become the seagull
What's the name of this event again
Because I want to just look up
What the people were dressed like
Yeah, give me, oh where is this?
this. The EC goal screeching competition. I'm just going to put that in the text for you.
There you go. E.C. Goal. For those wanting to look it up at home, it's the letter E and the letter
C and a space and the word goal screeching competition. Oh, God. Why now long has it
going on for? There's so much more to learn here. There's so much more, so much more to learn this one
person's experience. The judges said, we pay attention to the timber, rhythm, as well as
variation in that picture. Oh my God, it's just in a pub. It's men dressed as
a seagull screaming. This is, this is a lot. It's a lot of photos of people sort of half-assed
dressed up in birds. After all, seagulls have a fairly extensive repertoire of sounds
raging from alarm calls to long calls that make a clear that they do not want any
unwanted intruders in their territory. And here is the medal that Cooper will
was awarded pretty good.
Oh, that is fantastic.
What does the stars stand for?
How many poops that Seagull took on Dave Benson Phillips call?
Oh, this is good.
This is, this is, I can't believe none of us have found this before.
We're going to have to go, aren't we?
Yeah.
This is the next video, it's day out.
There was serious motive behind the competition.
It is more than fun and entertainment.
It is also meant to elicit some sympathy for Seagull.
which are an essential element of our coasts but are often maligned as rats of the sea.
Well, is that photo they've picked for the medal?
I mean, that's not very endearing, is it?
That is like an actual dinosaur.
Also, we conceive of the judging as serious business,
with a jury composed of professionals experienced in gull research and or policy.
Little is known about the language seagulls you use, however.
Thanks for that, Mr. Seas.
They're really earning his paycheck.
We know seagulls, but don't know what they're saying.
Not just yet.
A few sounds are known and typical of certain behaviour,
but how interesting would it not be,
but how interesting would it not be to fully understand their language,
to understand what they say to each other,
because they do this all the time,
and who knows, maybe even to other animals.
To understand how they explain to each other,
that's somewhere a farmer has started plowing,
or at sea, a fisherman has just started pulling up his nets.
And that is the end of the article with an extensional question.
Oh, really?
What would Siegel say if we could understand them?
So it doesn't say what his prize is.
Because in the photo of him on the podium,
it looks like he's all like a basket of crisps,
which might be considered Seagull food.
But I'm not really sure what that is.
Oh, wait.
Well, yeah, can we decide for anything?
Maybe some strewpuffles?
No, it's hard to see.
Maybe.
he gets given it in the video we could watch right now maybe yes we should watch that now okay let me
know when you've got it ready this is already quite a scary image could you shoot as a link
oh there it is you're okay i'm i'm paused and ready uh yeah i'm paused at zero it is a scary
image to begin with the opening frame yeah uh dear all right so this is looks like this was
taken in my grandparents front room um yeah it's got that that that that fire
fireplace gives big grandparents energy.
Oh wait, there is the basket behind in the video.
Yeah.
Looks like it's cans of beer in it.
Yeah, it does.
All right, sweet.
Good on here, Cooper.
Okay, are we ready to hear this amazing, amazing, unlike anything else, record.
This may be really good.
Okay.
Three, two, one, go.
Three, two, one.
That's quite good.
And the crowd goes wild.
Can you do other emotions?
Um, I see a girl that is hungry.
Yeah.
Oh, the judge's scores across the board.
I mean, far be it from me
to criticise this small boy.
Yeah.
But that sounds like a small boy doing a seagull impression.
It does.
It does.
And 92, it's a fucking farce.
What do the other ones sound like then?
Like, if this is the gold standard, then yeah.
Oh my God.
I'm going to listen to it once more and close my eyes and see if it changes it.
Okay, we'll leave you to it.
Peter and I will continue to discuss.
I do feel like if I, if I wanted to, you know, if I really actually cared and wanted to.
I could do that.
I could do that, you know, but I don't want to, but I could, you know.
I mean, how old is he again?
Nine.
Nine.
Nine.
He's shit.
Once he gets to the, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, that's all right.
But the beginning, there's sort of the, the first few notes I thought weren't actually very good at all.
I've never heard a seagull do that.
So, I, I don't know.
This reeks of corruption.
It does.
I think it's something rotten at the heart of the, of the, of the, of the,
DC goal.
Yeah, the family's totally paid them off.
Like, we're making the trip all away from the UK for this,
and we're bringing the grandparents.
You better make it worth our while, right?
It's a conspiracy by big nine-year-old.
Yeah, I think so.
Not much consideration from the judges either.
Those guys were holding up their points
before he'd even done his second.
Yeah, it looks like it was very quick to write their scores there.
They're making a big deal in the write-up about the fact that he had the highest points
of anyone else in the competition.
but the video clearly shows that the points don't mean shit.
Yeah, it's like whose line is it anyway.
And when he did his second, he was told, can you do other emotions?
He just did the same impression again.
I'm absolutely furious about this.
Yeah, me too.
I'm really cross.
I think people should send us their best seagull impression.
Yes, I think so as well.
Yes, so we can rate them off a totally nonsensical skill.
Yeah, everybody.
Precisely.
Get practicing and give us your loudest screeches.
Yeah.
to come up with some sort of infrastructure
for people to be able to do that and submit those.
Congratulations though, Cooper.
Well, then.
Yeah, congratulations, Cooper, sure.
We'll be watching your career with interest.
Yeah.
Very closely.
And hope that it improves.
Because at the moment, there's a long way to go.
Week start, mate. Week start.
But, you know, you are nine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You get there one day, buddy.
Don't worry.
It's okay.
Lovely.
Well, there you go.
I can't believe you're both that harsh about a nine-year-old boy.
I think he did.
Well, they hiked up.
We just listened to like 15 minutes of how amazing and groundbreaking this was.
92%.
It sounded like a wonky door.
That's an A-star star that he should have done there.
Yeah.
It's fine.
We'll get at the bottom of this another day, but I think it's a pretty good and pray.
Mikey, bully this nine-year-old with us.
No, have you heard a seagull recently?
It was shrill and it was annoying, and I think he nailed it on the head.
my medicine cabinet sounds more like a seagull than he does when I open it in the night trying
to be quiet that's what it sounds like yeah take that Cooper yeah I'm sure it was a really
big moment for him yeah I hope he I hope he had a lovely day me too and I feel very sorry for
his parents doing that all the time you know he they said at the beginning it was quite
annoying.
I think it probably is still really annoying, but fine.
Yeah.
Most parents would want their children to study an instrument.
A lot of children don't want to study an instrument because it's basically homework.
Yeah.
But there will have been a competition.
There will have been a conversation at one point where the parents said,
Cooper, now, before you can play Fortnite, you need to go upstairs and practice your seagulls screeching.
Yeah, we're flying out next week and you need to be on the top of your game.
Everyone in the house puts on their noise cancelling headphones
and just let him get on with it
Downstairs neighbour have their broom on the ceiling
Shut up
There's a seagull broken into your house
No definitely not
It doesn't sound like a seagull at all
Well thanks Mikey
And thank you to the person who sent that in
Yeah thank you
Ben Potter would you like to give us your own
treat for the day
now. Oh man, I would love to
In fact, treat is
an appropriate description
for it
because we're going to play
Would you like to play a game with me?
Again, yeah.
Yes, please.
You sure?
Yeah.
How much would it take to kill you
is the name of the game?
Oh, all right.
I have a selection of things,
some of them consumable,
some of them just stuff.
It'll make sense as we go.
And I need you to tell me how much is fatal.
This is taken from a couple of different articles.
The first one actually has decent write-ups about each one.
And then as it went, the second article, just they couldn't be fucked, basically.
It was the Metro and they couldn't be asked.
They were just like, wow, imagine consuming this much of this thing, lull.
Whereas the other article actually went into the science behind it.
So it's half good, half a bit crap.
And also, I'm not 100% on the science.
So citation needed, obviously, you probably shouldn't consume or endure these things in the described quantities.
Stay safe out there, everyone.
Right.
First of all, how many bananas would it take to kill you?
Oh.
I feel like I've heard that exact number before.
and I don't know how many it is
to kill you
like a potassium
overdose
or is it precisely
your tummy explodes with bananas
which happens first
the potassium
maybe
12 bananas
wow
I feel like I've eaten 12 bananas
in a day before
in a day
I think
this is explaining a lot
monkey Johnson
let me nanas
like
monkey Johnson very good
So I just realized, I thought you just said, Mikey.
I'm going to say 83 narnas to kill a man.
How about 480 bananas?
Oh, wow, I really overestimated how deadly bananas are.
479, you're fine.
180, you're cooked.
12 bananas, if that many could kill someone,
they'd have to put warnings on packs of bananas.
Like, please do not consume all these bananas.
It'd be like, you know, when you can't buy two packs of paracetamol,
you know, you can only have one bunch.
I kind of thought that you know how like
you're only like
four litres of water or something
in one go will kill you or maybe it's a bit more than that
but like not a lot of water
if you absolutely down it all in one
you will die
I think I was kind of thinking
along those lines but water is not the same
as bananas so
we'll get to water
oh okay
the write-ups for bananas is as follows
let us ignore for now the logistical difficulties
of fitting 480 bananas in our
stomach, and talk about potassium. A typical banana contains about 450 milligrams of potassium,
making it an excellent source of the electrolyte. Potassium ions flow through our bodies,
maintaining the balance of fluid inside and playing a role in muscle contractions and nerve impulses.
Cells in virtually every tissue in the body have potassium channels. It would be virtually impossible
to eat a median lethal dose of metasium, about 1.4 pounds, but the element is a lot more
deadly injected directly into the bloodstream when a massive and sudden influx
overwhelms the body.
We know this all too well because in lethal injections, potassium chloride is the final
chemical that stops the heart from beating.
Oh.
Lovely.
Yeah.
Next up, how many espresso shots would it take to kill you?
Oh, okay.
Shit.
What is killing you there?
The caffeine.
It's got to be caffeine.
Yeah, but I mean, what I mean is, is it making you shit yourself to death?
Is it making your heart just go mental?
Is it, you know, what is it?
What is it doing?
And how much would, what do you think, Mike?
You go first.
Espresos.
That's teeny tiny, teeny tiny little things, but strong.
But strong.
Yeah.
Yes.
I'm going to say 130 espresso shots, I think.
I think maybe a bit less.
I think maybe this is a bit closer to
to 12 than 400
or whatever it was I said. I'll say maybe
about 100.
179.
Oh, espresso shots.
A very high dose of caffeine is
caffeine intoxication, the worst
parts of drinking coffee exacerbated.
Restlessness, anxiety, insomnia,
an upset stomach, a racing heart.
Take that to an even further extreme
and caffeine can over-stimulate the nervous system
so much that it causes a cardiac dysrhythmia, irregular heartbeat, or seizure.
A median lethal dose is about 11 grams for an adult.
Caffeine poisoning is extremely rare and unlikely with coffee alone,
but the advent of pills and caffeine-laced energy drinks have made the problem worse.
Yeah.
How many teaspoons of salt would it take to kill you?
Ooh.
That is a chunky one.
Now this, I bet this is it.
is to do with, like, water coming out of your cells by osmosis.
But I don't know how much would be the problem.
Teaspoons of salt.
If you kept it down, maybe, like, 50.
Oh, I was thinking more 20, maybe.
No, teaspoons.
A bump, no, I'll stick with my guns.
20.
Let's go 20.
Yeah.
Peter Debt.
I definitely paid attention in science class because it's 47.
Wow!
Well done!
Like potassium, sodium is an electrolyte that regulates the water flowing in and out of our cells.
When there is too much sodium in the interstitial fluid that bathes our cells,
water will naturally leave those cells by osmosis to restore the balance.
This causes the cells to shrink.
The most obvious symptoms of hypernetremia, or an excess of salt,
are neurological, unresponsiveness, lethargy, weakness.
Too much salt, and it can cause seizures or a coma.
God, this is partly why it's worse to drown in saltwater than fresh water.
Well, it's related in that, like, if you, when you're drowning in fresh water,
when you take your first lung full of water, because, you know, that's all,
eventually you are just going to inhale, even if you're underwater.
If it's fresh, there's that much water that I think it floods into your cells by osmosis
and it like makes them all explode.
This is, I'm sure this isn't the actual science, but it's a generalisation.
It like bursts a bunch of cells because the water floods in.
Whereas if you inhale salt water, the water won't necessarily flood straight into all your
cells because of the salt.
It like keeps it in your lungs.
And so you only drown with salt water.
when you've inhaled enough that all of your lungs are completely full of water
so that you can't breathe through the top of your lungs.
So multiple gulps of water in the sea it will take to kill you.
I believe it's the generalised science there.
Thank you for the nightmares.
You're welcome.
Yeah. It's much worse to drown in the sea, apparently.
How many bottles of water will it take to kill you?
And to be clear that we're talking per the article.
I would rather do it in milliliters
and we could convert it.
16 ounce bottles.
Excuse me?
What's that?
How many 16 ounce bottles of water?
Am I permitted to look at what 16 fluid ounces is in milliliters?
Yeah, absolutely.
I was just doing the same.
454 minutes, so like half liter.
Half a liter.
Okay.
Or eight litre bottles, I suppose.
Yeah.
I think it is about
something like,
four or five litres is where it starts to get potentially fatal.
So what would that be?
Yeah, that would be, what did you say?
That 16 ounces is about half a liter.
Yes.
So about nine maybe?
I'm going to, oh, I'm going to go seven, because I don't think it'd be,
I think any more than that seems ridiculous.
So I think seven maybe might just eke you into a little hint of death.
You might get me there.
According to this, it's 17.
Oh, God, okay.
16 ounce bottles of water.
Water intoxication is essentially the opposite of too much salt.
When there is too much water and not enough salt in the interstitial fluid between ourselves,
those cells start taking in water and swell up like balloons.
Yeah, there you go, that's it. That's drowning in fresh water.
Tightly, lovely. Tightly packed brain cells have no room to swell inside the skull,
leading to brain damage that could be fatal.
Drinking that sheer amount of water is rare under normal circumstances.
it is most common in endurance athletes or ravers taking ecstasy.
I think they're also endurance athletes, to be fair.
Where the sweating leads to a loss of water drinking,
but electrolytes lost through sweat also need to be replaced.
Our bodies generally do a good job of maintaining a water balance
between all that sweating, peeing, eating and drinking,
but it physically breaks down at the extremes,
specifically 17-16-ounce bottles,
or half of 17?
eight and a half
eight and a half meters of water
damn
it's a lot of water
that's quite a lot yeah
how many
tubes of toothpaste would it take to kill you
well just eating them
just eating them yeah
delicious minty fresh
yeah
I know you're not supposed to swallow it
but it's not you know they make it
so that you can if you accidentally do
Yeah, it's quite tenets of a little treat.
Chutes of toothpaste.
God.
It's like,
hmm.
I mean,
they definitely wouldn't put enough in to kill a person in one tube.
No, hopefully not.
Oh.
But what is it in toothpaste that would kill someone?
Yeah, I can't even work out what the manner of death would be.
Minted to death.
Yeah, just being fresh to death.
I'm going to say six tubes of toothpaste.
I'm going to say 15 tubes of toothpaste.
Yeah, six seems low as soon as I said it, but I'm going to stick with it.
24 tubes of toothpaste.
Fluoride in small doses is indisputably good for preventing cavities,
but too much of it can necessitate a call to the poison control centre.
Still, a deadly dose requires a lot of toothpaste.
24, 6 ounce tubes for an adult.
and multiple tubes even for a small child.
A review of 87 fluoride ingestion cases in children
found none with lasting effects
that were the result of eating toothpaste.
Right.
So your kids are safe.
Now I'm moving on to a handful that are from the shit article.
Yes.
So there will be no follow-ups,
and you can ask no questions because I have no answers for you.
Other than,
imagine eating 20 tubes of toothpaste.
Whoa. Lull.
Hope you took the lints off first.
how many consecutive one after the other
that's what consecutive means
shots of alcohol
would you need to take before you are dead
so we're not talking over the course of an evening
we're talking one after the other
back to back until you drop down dead
yes
I mean obviously it's got to vary from person to person
some people will have a
probably a better tolerance
well maybe not maybe when we're talking dead
death, it's kind of just the same for everyone, whereas the effects in between that, you know, leading up to that maybe are different people.
But you go first, Mikey.
I'm going to say, this also depends on what measurement of shot were going off.
Because I think Americans in UK people use different ones.
I'm going to assume American.
So I'm going to say about 12 shots could put someone on the first.
floor, dead forever.
I'll say a bit more.
I'll say, to kill you, like, 20.
13.
Oh, well done, Mikey.
Nice.
Doing 13 shots in a row can shut down parts of the brain leading to death.
Can, that's it.
That's all the context we have.
Okay.
How much marijuana smoked and eaten would it take to kill you?
So we're getting two answers here?
Two answers here, yeah.
How much marijuana would you have to smoke
and how much marijuana would you have to eat
to be debt?
Oh, God.
See, again, I don't really know how that kills you
because...
Hmm.
Hmm.
What unit of measurement are we doing for the smoking?
We're doing kilograms.
Kilograms.
Both are kilograms,
just to give you an idea
of quite how much you would have to consume.
Right.
Okay.
Jeez.
Let's say, smoke.
to smoke
25 kilograms and eat less 10
eat 10
okay
that's a pure as a complete guess
I'm going to say
smoke 80 and
eat 30
well you'd have to eat 22 kilograms
of marijuana to die
apparently you'd have to smoke
690 kilograms
of marijuana to die apparently.
Wow.
Again, no idea on the science behind that,
but that's what it said in the article.
Because again, probably the smoke would kill you
before you got to the effects of the drug.
Your lungs would give up way before anything else happened.
We'll fire through these last few years.
Lack of sleep.
How many days would you have to go without sleep to die?
I know what the record is.
So I'm going to say something like 15.
I was going to say 14.
I think the record's like 11.
Well, that's someone's done that, I think.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That it's bollocks.
Yeah.
But you should sleep.
You should definitely sleep.
Yeah.
They had like lasting effects for the rest of their life, apparently.
They wish they'd never done it.
Yeah.
That's a stupid idea.
How long can you be underwater without dying?
What?
Oh, just so if you can still breathe, but you're just underwater.
Yeah.
It's a holding your breath thing.
It's a specific.
specifically says being under water.
I don't know why.
And not just holding your breath, but there we go.
Topps, like, I mean, I can hold my breath for over two minutes.
Some people.
Whoa.
Look at this guy.
So maybe two and a half minutes.
I don't know.
Three, three, I'll say three minutes.
I'm going to say four and a half.
It says here six minutes.
Really?
Ooh.
Yeah.
Wow.
Okay.
You could be underwater.
It doesn't matter if you're wearing scoop again.
If you're underwater for six minutes, you die.
Yeah.
That's what this article's saying.
How many full-sized chocolate bars could you eat before you die?
A lot.
I mean, I couldn't.
I wouldn't want to, but that's got to be a lot.
250 bars.
No, that seems too little as well.
That's so many.
350 bars.
350 bars.
Yeah, what's going to kill you?
What's going to kill you in chocolate?
Good old chocolate.
Good old chocolate.
I'll say 100.
I mean, I can confirm that 350 would definitely kill you more.
85 is apparently the maximum.
Okay.
And finally, how many cherry pits would it take to kill you if you bit into it?
Okay.
Well, if you'd ask me, I've heard what it is for apple pips.
So I imagine it's pretty similar because they have cyanide in them.
Oh.
Okay.
I'll guess first.
I'm not, yeah, swayed by it.
answer. I'm going to, uh, cherry pips as if four, no, not 40, 60. I believe it's a mug full of
apple pips. So I'm going to say, what would that? Now I'm having to do a fairground game of
guessing how many pips go into a mug. Um, two, no, yeah, 150. Bloody hell. One or two,
apparently. Did you know that biting into a cherry pit can deliver a lethal.
dose of cyanide.
Excuse me.
One or two.
Because it's a metro right up, it says,
is this common knowledge emoji?
That's surely bullshit.
Why are they?
What?
I don't know.
That's not right.
Are you Googling it now?
Yeah.
But it feels like maybe there's like a no point,
no, no, no, no, no one percent chance that you get the one that happens to have a
lot of arsenic in it.
Like, I feel like that's so rare that you'd have to eat a lot to get to that one.
I could kill you.
Immediately it says here, accidentally eating a few will not kill you.
Eating more than 20 to 30 can lead to dangerous toxicity.
Yeah, that's what I've just seen.
Now, it does specify in this article that you'd have to, like, rather than swallow it,
you'd have to bite into the cherry pig.
I don't know if there's any difference in that.
I don't know.
Yeah, that's what some of these are saying.
Just don't eat them.
I think it's saying that quite often people end up, you know,
you just sort of swallow it and it passes through you, absolutely fine.
But it's if you chew it up.
Um, yeah.
A man ate three cherry pits, then he got cyanide poisoning and almost died, according to
global news.com.
So, goodness.
There you go.
Watch yourself.
Well, apple seeds, I'm told it's a mugful.
But maybe, again, that might just be swallowing without chewing.
I don't know.
Don't do it.
Either way, don't do it.
No, it's not safe.
So there we are.
There's a little game of how many things it would take to kill these various things.
I probably could have split it in half and done it as two separate things.
I need to stretch that right out.
But I just want to make sure we're all safe.
Don't go underwater for more than six minutes.
And do not consume 13 consecutive shots of alcohol or smoke 690 kilograms of marijuana.
Or eat one cherry.
Don't touch cherries.
They're dangerous.
Well, thank you, Ben.
You're welcome.
That was wonderful.
I have got a thing here.
that was submitted by Connor Bennett at C. Bennett 12 on Twitter.
It's according to the independent. I.e.
The Irish Independent.
And it's written by Amy Donahoe, who says,
Bird Trapped in Dublin Airport Terminal.
No.
Quote, wandering around confused for more than 40 days.
Wow, 40 days.
40 days.
As removal is no easy task.
There is some excellent video.
Don't worry about your Sasquatch crypted photos we've had of previous birds.
There is a lot of footage here of this bird, so we're good.
40 days and 40 nights, the Jesus bird wandered.
Dublin Airport has acknowledged the concern regarding a bird,
which is currently living in Terminal 1.
It's like that film with Tom Hanks.
An animal rights campaigner said the bird has been wandering around confused,
looking for scraps for over 40 days.
We note the concern about the bird
currently living in the Terminal 1 at Dublin Airport,
said Dublin Airport on X, formerly Twitter.
Helping a small and very speedy bird
to get out of such a vast and busy building
is no easy task.
But the airport team is on the case
and in consultation with wildlife and bird experts,
a process is underway
which will get the bird to safety
on its way very soon.
in the meantime the public can be
This is all a quote from the airport still
In the meantime the public can be fully assured
That the bird is getting plenty to eat
And drink and is healthy
The safe return of the bird to the wild
Is a top priority
And we thank the public for leaving its rescue
To the Professionals
Campaigner
Oh no, it's an Irish name
That I'm going to absolutely destroy
Uh
Coiv-leared Phelan
It's got MHE at the end
which I think is pronounced like a V, like Neve.
Anyway, it's pleading the right people.
Is pleading for the bird a type of starling to be rescued
and believes it's been there for over 40 days.
We're at the point in the article now,
where we repeat all the information over and over again.
But they say it's breeding season, it is springtime.
He should be flying from tree to tree collecting nesting materials
so they can have babies,
not wandering around a terminal, confused, looking for scraps, she said.
being trapped in doors with nowhere to escape
is incredibly stressful for a wild bird
he's already in a panic
as he's constantly flying upwards
towards the sky windows to find an escape
he doesn't know the terminal he
he doesn't know that the terminal he is in
is on the third floor
and in order to get out of the building
he will have to fly down two flights of stairs
to get to a door boarding gate
a bird
bird brain
this is something he could never figure out
as these doors are opened indeterminantly
with the sole purpose of letting passengers out to board a plane
airports are not their natural habitat
and do not produce worms and bugs for them to eat
the starling won't find the food
no they don't
the starling won't find the food and water it needs
I was flying last Friday and I noticed a skinny starling
doing laps around Terminal 1
I asked a few members of staff and nobody seemed too
bothered about his presence or initiating a rescue.
Pretty much the entire rest of the article is quotes from, I think, maybe a TikTok or a series
of tweets or something.
But yeah, no, it's fine.
It does say towards the end, though, that Gillian Bird from the DSPCA.
Yeah.
No way.
Come on now.
Yes, Gillian Bird added that it could be difficult to remove the bird from the airport.
The problem with Starlings is they tend to.
to find ways in whatever way they go. At the moment, what could have happened is the bird could
have built her nest and laid some eggs, she said. Some baby chicks may even hatch soon, so it's
very difficult. What we'd say to someone who has a bird trapped in their building is to turn off
all the lights, open the doors, put some seed just outside, and leave the bird alone. But what I'm
seeing is the bird is trapped in the terminal building that has loads of roof lights, so turning
off the lights would be impossible because it's such a busy area. The bird is never going to be
left alone. That's the end of the article. But would you like to see a photo? This is a very good
photo over on the departures board actually. Here you go. A little link for you there.
Oh, look at him. Yeah. And there's also a video compilation of it flying around at the top of the
article so let me send you that as well and you can be looking at that in your own time um but
there we go more birds are trapped up and down not just the country but the british isles as a
whole and uh you know just needs sorting out started with supermarkets and now they're evolving
into transport and infrastructure yeah where would they go next it's like something from a hitchcock
film yeah well there you go so um
Fingers crossed for the Starling in Dublin Airport.
We'll see what happens.
Maybe they should just start producing worms and bugs for it to eat in the airport.
Just in the soil of the airport floor.
Yeah, just tear up some tiles, put a load of soil down, get a little ecosystem going.
It'd be great.
Yeah.
I want to hear more from Gillian Bird about this epidemic that's happening.
Dr. Bird?
Dr. Bird.
Me and Amy have been watching a true crime thing.
recently, and one of the forensic, like, scientists or forensic criminologists who's doing
some sort of talking head stuff is called, I can't remember her first name, but it's something
like Betty Butcher, which is not nice when dealing with murder, but hey, you know.
Peter, breaking news on this story, oh, literally, as of, what, 42 minutes ago.
Oh, my God.
I'm going to send you this story.
Dublin airport, bird, Charlie
flies free from Terminal 1
Hooray!
He has a lovely holiday, where do you reckon he's going?
Amsterdam, Dubai,
do you think he left on time?
Very delayed, wasn't he?
Yeah, there's a picture of a man carrying him in a jacket.
I mean, you can't actually see him in the photo,
but I imagine that's what's happening.
Well, that's great news from news talk,
hot from the presses.
Yeah, happy ending.
That's actually happened
while we've been recording this podcast.
That's amazing.
On the front lines.
Yeah.
All right, lovely.
Thank you, Peter.
I love a happy ending.
No, no problem.
You're very welcome.
Mikey, would you like to bring us your thing now?
I would love to.
I thought I'd recount the tale of
probably is one of the most disastrous
disastrous music festivals of all time
I'm talking about Woodstock
but not 69
99
give me something a break
yes
yes I think we're probably all somewhat familiar with this story
I mean Ben by the sounds of it you are
because I'm aware of the biscuit involvement
yes the biscuit is quite a notable part of this
but there's other factors at play here.
But yes, Mr. Biscuit did indeed tip things over the edge a bit.
I'm not aware of this at all, I don't think.
Oh, okay.
The footage is amazing.
It's nuts.
Yeah, there's several documentaries about this,
and it's just a war zone on planet Earth,
and it's nothing like it will ever happen again, maybe, probably.
So, on paper, it sounded like a great idea.
Let's recreate Woodstock to celebrate the 30th anniversary
of the Peace and Love,
music festival that sat at the epicenter of the hippie movement. What followed instead was
four days of carnage and will go down in history as one of the worst music events to ever take
place. The festival was held at a former Air Force Base Air Force Base in upstate New York.
The mainly concrete and asphalt surface was a terrible location for a festival, especially when the two
main stages were a two
mile walk from each other.
Geez. And also
the weekend of July 22
to 25 was set
to welcome a heatwave 2
as well as over 400,000
ticket holders.
Oh God, that's a lot of people.
So, from Woodstock
99, you know,
the iconic festival that spurred
on a whole movement of people and all
these subcultures and free thinking and drugs
and whatnot. Who do you
of when you think of hippie-divie bullshit is it insane clown posse yeah biscuit mega death yeah yes
yeah yeah um and so new metal was the new was the new funk and rock and roll oh yeah but
sadly didn't have the soft squishy inside inside like uh the music of the 69 one had and so yeah
you you put new metal and rap rock and shit in a place with angry teenagers and also maybe half of the
audience who are expecting peace and love and nice times and you get woodstock 99 and so yeah this
i've got a little recount of events that took place over the couple of days of the festival the most
most most interesting ones or the most um landmark ones but one thing to remember during this
boiling boiling boiling hot sweaty asphalty summer festival bottled water was being shilled at
four dollars at the time a mod in modern money that's six pound
for a bottle of water.
My God.
No risk of someone overdosing on that.
So we begin with Friday, July 23rd.
So this was the second day at the festival at this point,
and I think crowds were already growing quite unruly.
I think there's a lot of clashes and just kind of like,
basically people being twats and not knowing to control themselves
and just being absolute knobheads for the entire thing.
Also exacerbated by per facilities,
pervin infrastructure, per water management.
Basically, I think everyone was getting a bit hot and sweaty and angry and it needed a nap
and a little snack, but that wasn't happening.
A fan pelted the offspring lead singer with a beer bottle during the band's performance.
And Cheryl Crowe reported that one audience member had thrown feces at her during her performance.
Oh my God.
This is just the beginning.
To protest the exorbitant price of on-site water,
insane clown posse taped $100 bills to several beach balls
and kicked them into the crowd during their performance.
Is that why someone threw feces at Cheryl Crowe?
Because they wanted to piss in a bottle as this traditional throw that.
But they were like, no, my precious water.
I don't even have a bottle for pissing.
I'm going to have to throw some shit instead.
That's tradition.
You've got to throw something at first of all.
And then of course, members,
of the audience fought over the money attached to the beach balls.
Oh no.
Yeah.
I mean, of course they did.
Yeah.
Yeah, I would.
Yeah, totally.
I get out of the way.
I'm getting that $100.
Then we move on to Saturday, July 24th.
So, yeah, summer beginning, slow, easing along.
Alainis Morissette noted the apathy of the crowd during her set as a large majority of
fans in attendance were waiting for limp biscuits performance.
Some began booing and chanting.
limp biscuit
limp biscuit
during her set
and yes
I went through the Wikipedia
article for this page
and there is an entire section
just titled
limp biscuit
the other days
are just like
yeah little bits
limp biscuit get their own thing
I'm not wanna
I don't want to point fingers
at Fred Durst
but he definitely could have
maybe not done the things he did
so yeah
tensions begin to rise
people are thirsty
hungry sweaty
covered in feces, all the good stuff.
And so violence and vandalism
basically escalated and escalated
throughout the evening's performance by Limp Biscuit.
Concord goers were moshing violently,
destroying nearby structures
and crowd surfing using plywood barriers
surrounding the stage.
Fred Durst, in the midst of all this,
addressed the crowd.
Do you have to do a Fred Durst accent?
I don't hear.
Of course you do.
They want to ask us.
to ask you to mellow out a little bit they say too many people are getting hurt don't let anybody
get hurt but i don't think you should mellow out mellow it out that's what alonis morissette had you
motherfuckers do if someone falls pick them back up there you go right so basically he's just saying
yeah the one is to quiet down thank you i'm not going to do that again that's quite intense
yeah basically in the midst of all this chaos um he not he basically be after
for being asked, stop this. He went, nah, I'm here to fuck shit up. And what fucks you up is
what we're going to do. Then, uh, tension ultimately boiled over during their performance of,
you guessed it, break stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so yeah, just things got wilder and wilder.
Concert goers immediately began destroying structures adjacent to the stage and aggressively
moshing and punching each other even more.
A large number of attendees began ripping plywood off of the perimeter fence as they attempted to surf on the broken panels.
This resulted in several bits of wall collapsing.
Durst addressed the crowd again during a performance of Nuki, telling the audience,
We already let all the negative energy out.
It's time to reach down and bring that positive energy to this motherfucker.
It's time to let yourself go right now, because there are no motherfuckers.
rules out there. Oh my gosh.
No, Fred.
Fred, please.
Stop it. Stop it.
I've put a video of their performance
timestamped. Even if you just watch
it on mute, you can just see
that's when the chorus of break
stuff kicks in and people just start
beating the shit out of each other.
Oh, there's such a big crowd.
It's massive.
Jesus. Look at that.
Yeah. That is not Fred.
Fred, naughty Fred.
Oh my God, yeah. People are just like
jumping up and down on the barriers.
fighting, pushing around.
Yeah, it was a war zone.
But we still have one day the festival left,
and it's going to get worse.
Great.
No, how?
So I think Sunday continued with a lot,
kind of just people being dickheads and obnoxious
and shouting and jeering and fighting,
and then the Red Hot Chili Peppers performed on that Fateful Sunday.
So not the fault of Red Hot Chili Peppers,
but a group of activists had distributed
Candles to those stopping at their booth at the festival,
intending for them to be lit for a candlelit vigil
for the victims of the Columbine High School Massacre
during the performance of the song Under the Bridge.
This, they did this off the room back.
They said, here's a candle, off you go like this during this song of the set.
Thank you.
They didn't bother telling the festival they were doing this
or any of the safety crew they were doing this.
And also, they just gave a crowd of people, angry people,
utility the means of creating fire and so you can guess where this went the candles were used to
start bonfires empty bottles were set a light and thrown around after the set the crowd were
told not to panic but there was quote a bit of a problem one of the audio towers had been
torched and was set a light and so yeah it is like the final days of room everything just
falling down around them to exacerbate things even more prior to the start of the performances
that day rumors started to swell of an unannounced extra performance after the red hot chili
peppers maybe prince would perform the rolling stones bruce springsteen whew biscuit again
yeah it's the last bit of the festival now we can break stuff yeah um but sadly no it was none
of these people the extra exciting rumoured extra performance was just a laser show with footage
video footage of jimmy hendricks performing at the original festival in 1969 right i'm sure that went down
very well yes and yeah this angered attendees even more and the audience began to boo and attack
as the feral atmosphere continued things got even more dangerous ATMs were pushed over and
broken into
merch stalls were
looted and robbed
the site was
destroyed and
numerous objects
set a light
and so yeah
this is the final night
I think it got to
about midnight
and the local
law enforcement
kind of caught wind
of what was going on
and so they just
descended on this festival
with an army of
500 to 700
police officers
and various other
law enforcement
to try and quell
the stinky
sweaty
fighting masses
I think they just
kind of had to stand back and monitor it and let
them tie themselves out and I think it was
basically sunrise before
it stopped and then
became the chaos of all these
angry people leaving a festival
all at the same time clogging up a town
it was just amazing
I like the footage of it
is like yeah there's just
there's nothing like it's stuff set and fire people
just looting and stealing and it's
just this is the spirit of
Woodstock, right?
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I think it was about like 50 arrests were made, but I think anything ever really
came of it.
I think Fred Durst got a big slap on the wrist when he came off stage after his performance.
I think the, I think the person who organized a festival is just like, you realize what
you've done here.
This is all your fault.
And I guess he couldn't do anything.
He just walked away.
And Fred Durst, I think, yeah, he's been maligned for it.
He said, you know, when you're, you know, when you're not.
you're up there on stage.
You can't pick out details of the crowd.
You don't know how people are doing.
I feel like he probably might have saw the fires and the people.
He's a bit of a rascal, isn't he, Fred?
Old Freddy Durst.
Saying there are no rules when you've been told,
oh yeah, it's a bit, it's getting a bit lairy out there.
Can you go out and just sort of bring people down a bit?
There's an entire bit where they're building up to the chorus of break stuff,
where the musicians, I say, not including Fred,
the people playing instruments
continue to play and like build up to this chorus
and he's basically just waxing lyrical about how
yeah you ever do you feel pissed off
are you pissed off out there yeah I bet you are
do you ever just want to break and then that you know
the whole song breaks down with the chorus
and he screams and everyone starts ripping the plywood off the walls
he um he was a bit of an instigator wasn't he yeah sounds like it
yeah that's not a prank that's a
crime.
Yeah.
There it is.
That's another one.
Classic prank.
There you go.
That's the Taylor of Woodstock 99.
I recommend if you've never heard or seen anything of this before.
I think, yeah, there's a couple of documentaries came out a couple of years ago and it is
to be seen to be believed.
Yeah.
Sounds good as a documentary because I imagine there is a lot of just stuff that was actually
filmed, you know, and like a lot of footage to go through.
Yeah.
I think, yeah, part of it was like MTV charged people.
like $60 for the weekend to watch it at home.
So people got to pay $60
to witness the slow collapse of humanity.
God.
Amazing.
Well, thank you, Mikey.
Ben, it's now your turn again, isn't it?
Yes.
This is my listener slash viewer submitted thing.
It comes from at Desi Love on Twitter.
Hashtag send Desi, is the username.
Okay, so I don't have a news article for this,
but I think it's important for you all to know about.
So this isn't a news article.
No.
However, allow me to introduce you to Revolution Beauty London's collaboration with Shrek.
Shrek, yes.
Check it out.
This is why I, well, we all sort of say, hey, send us news articles or other interesting, relevant, recent internet things.
because this is the kind of thing that we want to hear about
that might not make an article, but I mean...
So it is.
Put on your ogrears and hear what's in store
from this exclusive first-ever Shrek collab,
including our happily ever-after
transforming Princess Fiona and Shrek color palettes.
Discover four soft matte lipsticks,
a swamp clay mask and a handful of must-have accessories
all inspired by some of your favorite Shrek characters
to give you that happily ever-after feeling.
Oh.
Got all sorts in here.
A donkey headband, which is just donkey's little black tuft of hair and his ears.
You've also got a Shrek ear headband a bit further down as well.
There's the donkey on the edge mini palette of makeup.
Donkey on the edge, sorry?
I don't know.
What is donkey on the edge at the bottom?
He is edging, yeah.
The jingy lip kit, and it says worth $19.
It's only $14
The Shrek
X I Heart Revolution
Happily Ever After makeup bag
Which is I think the must have probably there
But the best one
Is probably the most expensive one
The Gingy
12 days advent calendar
Worth $85
reduced to $18
Oh because it's not Christmas
That's why
It's not Christmas anymore
You get a gingerbread man tin
It looks like you get all sorts
in their lipstick, foundation
nail polish.
Apparently it's Shrek related somehow.
I don't really know how.
It's got piggy lipstick, gumdrop blusher, Shrek blue gel.
Lord Farquod red vinyl lip gloss.
Oh my God.
Oh, my God.
I will say they're all very well reviewed.
I don't see anything even like below 4.5 stars there.
That's a smasher.
Most of them are five stars.
And with a lot of reviews as well,
there's one here, 35 reviews, five stars for the donkey on the edge mini palette.
God, it's impressive.
Oh, someone's left a German review.
Can one of you translate that for me?
Some of them don't feel like real adverts, I've got to say.
Sorry, a real review.
Some of them do feel like they're advertising it a little bit.
Like the first couple both call it very cute,
and that seems a bit suss.
me.
Yeah.
So excited to have this in my collection also.
Everything is really cute.
And then the next one, so excited I have the Gingy 12 days Advent calendar.
Everything inside is really cute.
So was the packaging.
The Gingy tin is a great piece to add to my collection.
They basically said the exact same thing.
Interesting.
It has everything you ever want.
It has everything you ever want it.
This is a great gift.
It have so many things.
That is wonderful.
Is that the German?
No, that's just a random English review.
Oh, okay.
Sounds translated.
Where's this German review?
Oh, I found it.
Yeah, I see it.
Yeah, it ends with blush, which I don't really know what that means.
I think because it's got colon's either side, it's meant to be like a, that's how you used to do emojis on forums or emoticons.
So I think it just means blushing face.
But I'll translate that.
That says, mega colors, absolutely great.
Great quality.
and very comfortable to wear I'm more than thrilled blush.
Wow, amazing.
Big fan, yeah.
Mega farben absolute classer is the first sentence in German.
Yeah, really good.
When I was in high school, there was a big trend for, I think, maybe half a year
where all the girls seemed to wear gingerbread scented.
I don't know if it was their lip gloss they were wearing or something.
but a bunch of them were all wearing this like gingerbread stuff
and everywhere you'd go it would just smell of gingerbread
but in a kind of artificial way
and it's because of some kind of cosmetic that they'd all like got
it's kind of weird
I don't I can't pretend to understand
a makeup
but it seems everyone's very thrilled
the makeup bag does have a three star review
that says a very big and made of terrible material
Holly was not impressed
by the makeup bag
which is a shame
huge
way bigger than I was expecting
looks pretty though
good quality
well what is it
is it good or is it bad quality
I do like the headbands
with the ears on
the donkey ears
or the trademarked Shrek ears
which are officially
a trademarked
separate entity
just the ears alone
yes
I think the more of these reviews
I read
I genuinely think a lot of them
are fake
but the product
are probably real. This is not an advert. However, if you do want some Shrek makeup, it is available
and it's on sale. At Revolutionary Beauty.us, Revolution beauty.us, sorry. The makeup bag,
to me, looks like something from Wish, because it's just a series of PNGs of different characters
plastered onto a blue sky background. Like, yeah, it does look cheap as well. Yeah, cheap and
dodgy. But the rest of it is, I imagine, fine. The headbands are quite well done for what
they are, I like the headbands.
I bet there's some promotional stuff you could find
from when the films were out on eBay that's just
like, Shrek ears, three pounds.
Please take them away.
There we are. That's available.
If you want it, Shrek makeup,
apparently it's been around for at least two years
and we're only finding out now.
So you have all failed us.
Oh.
Thank you, Desi, for letting us know.
Oh, I didn't realize it wasn't a recent thing.
But hey, whatever.
We all enjoyed it.
That's great.
It's all important.
Yeah, it's very important information.
There we are. That's my listener submitted thing.
Fantastic. Well, the final listener submit, well, no, it's not, well, yes and no.
My thing, officially my thing this week, is a series of listener submitted things because Kevin has been asking for quickfire questions over on Instagram, viduets dot official.
So if you head over there, we're going to turn this into a, we're doing it on alternate episodes, aren't we, I think?
I think that's what we decided.
Yes, every two episodes and we'll take it into.
Yeah, we will.
So this episode, it was me, and I've got a few here.
So are you ready for some quick-fire questions, boys?
Let's go.
Yes.
Samuel Benson, 98, says, what would you show to the aliens to stop them from destroying us?
Revolution Exchange, 12 days, I've been calendar worth $85.
That's it, we're spared.
Agreed.
Yeah, excellent.
Two people asked a very similar question.
Will underscore how said, what video?
its video would you remake in 2024 if you could and then the following question was from
adam underscore said 64 who said if you could remake any video which one would it be so
there you go oh cricky oh that's a really tough one because yeah because it's not necessarily
what was your favorite one because some of them don't need remaking you know fallout was perfect
it was where we play football with a dolly uh and you know the sausage plant can't remake that
Lightning in a bottle.
Oh.
Is it, is it, is it just being really vain to say I would not, I would not remake or improve any
Vidiot's video?
They're all as magic as they need to be.
Yeah.
I mean, no, I think that's, that's not a, I think if you remade a video, it wouldn't
have the same effect because it's not, it's not, it's not, like, you know, the, videos were
just, we're going to sit down and film it and whatever happens is the result.
Any more planning beyond that.
video it's well even the um you know someone might could argue like oh you should remake the margaret
video because that was broken and if you fix the DVD but again that was like the sort of
distant audio boosted tinny mark you know in the background that we desperately tried to
recover from what little we had that makes it all part of it you know and uh you could you definitely
couldn't remake that one we played that didn't we on a live stream or we did we did we try to
Yes. Yes. Yeah. And then we smashed the disc. So it was better off not having the game break on us.
Yeah. That's not a bad answer. I think you might be right, Mikey. Or is there anything that you would remake, Ben?
I'm struggling to think of anything, to be honest, because I think the obvious one is the Peter gets hit by a car.
But also, you know, that was great. And I don't know how we'd top that.
Yeah. How would that be improved? If you were hit by a bigger car, it wouldn't be the same.
I mean, yeah, potentially, I mean, it's not really asking in what context these are being remade, but if we like hit the big time and we could do a huge budget version of it, like get higher some like special effects artists and, you know, like stunt men and, you know, like get some pyro involved. That could be fun, but that's probably not really what it's talking about. It was literally just, you know, if you could remake something tomorrow, what would you do?
um so yeah maybe maybe the car one but hmm okay well um ben k hughes asks which supermarket offers the
best meal deal or mike you're the current world record holder for the speed run so
tesco has the biggest i'd say like good solid variety of items but sainsbury's generally
less to choose from but better quality i think the sandwiches look a lot nicer more
So the best thing about Morrison's, though, is that unlike Tesco, they let you use a vegetable samosa as a snack as party meal deal, not a main, like fucking Tesco.
Okay.
So that does eke them out, but Morrison's is pretty pretty, pretty, pretty per in every other department.
I'm going to say say Sainsbury's. I'm going to say Sainsbury's.
Hmm.
I can't say I've really had any meal deals from, well, many meal deals from many places, to be honest.
certainly not enough to make a judgment call
I don't get meal deals very often
if I do it's usually Tesco
because that's close to work
but yeah I don't know
I don't have an answer I'm afraid
oh well I mean it's similar for me as well
Tesco I is the one I get all the time at work
occasionally I've had an ASDA one
if we've been doing something near Ashton's house
because she's got a big
big ASDA there
but other than that
Or is it a Morrisons?
No, it's a Morrisons, isn't it?
Oh, it is a Morrisons, yeah.
And that was all right.
I think they've had a Boots meal deal.
Like at an airport.
That's okay, but it's just too expensive.
Yeah, they tend to be expensive.
Yeah, but then airport meal deals of any kind, I think, are more expensive.
Yeah, it's true.
It's true.
Flipping, where is it?
Someone asked, and I'll find it in a minute.
Are you aware of what the Sunday scleries are?
Here it is.
Trigley Syriott tea.
Are you aware of the Sunday scarries?
And if so, how do you combat them?
You aware of the Sunday scaries?
So that's the impending Monday and going back to work, right?
Yeah, that's it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sort of the getting the blues or the, or even potentially some anxiety about it.
Do you suffer from them?
Well, I don't.
No, I don't.
I don't, sadly.
Are you definitely used to?
Yeah.
How do I fix that?
Change a job.
Yeah.
That's kind of how I did it as well.
That's true.
Also, Ben, you don't work on Mondays.
No, I don't work on Mondays.
I literally don't.
I have the Monday Scaries instead.
Yeah.
No, no.
But I know the feeling all too well.
Usually I think I can trace it back probably to working in retail.
And it wouldn't be the Sunday Scaries as much as it would be that same feeling, but the day before a shift.
or like the morning of a shift
and I'm working three till 11
or something like that you know
and the whole morning you're there like
I'm miserable
I can't do anything
I can't go anywhere
because all I'm going to be doing
is thinking about having to go to work this evening
yeah
rubbish
I used to get it at school a little bit
and again not in an anxious way
but just in a kind of
oh you know
I guess anyone would
anyone gets it to some extent or other
but like on a Sunday evening
we used to have our Sunday roast dinner
in the evening not not at
lunchtime, which I think some people do and some people don't. But we would also have it in the
evening. And it was always like, although it's like a nice meal and I would have ice cream
afterwards, the whole thing would be a little bit marred by the thought of like, okay, well, as soon as
this meal is done, that's the last good thing of this weekend. And then I've got to like,
make my lunch for Monday. And I've got to think about, oh, on your shirt. Yeah, have I actually
done all my homework? I need to pack my bag. And then, you know, I'm going to get, my parents used to send me to
bed like probably a bit earlier than I would have liked as well so yeah I used to get a bit
blue like immediately after or potentially even during my roast dinner oh man I used to always I think
songs of praise for some reason was like that was like oh god it's Sunday and we're like we're
getting through Sunday like the sounds of quieting it was like this is it back to back to the free
yeah exactly me too it's like TV associations like after our Sunday roast uh quite often it would be
the Antiques Road Show would just be starting
and just seeing the Antiques Road Show makes me think
school tomorrow
Oh no
Somebody said
Louis Weber said
If you had the chance to bring
Vidiates back the way it was content wise
But maintain your current lifestyles
Slash finances would you
And it does say you would have to give up your current jobs
so basically we leave our current jobs we start doing videots again and it is successful enough
that we are in whatever current state we're in financially securely for a certain period of time
that is not defined maybe it's not actually successful and there's just a money tree from
some way giving us that money and we're just making content for an audience of like a hundred
I think it would have to be yeah because it wouldn't be successful would it
It wasn't successful then.
It certainly won't be now.
Yeah, no, we're covered for money is basically it.
But would we do that?
I'm going to say no.
I feel like it was of its time.
And I look back on those days extremely fondly.
And I have no regerts.
But personally, in my life, I have moved beyond that now.
I feel like to return to it
wouldn't be the worst thing in the world
by any stretch of the imagination
but I wouldn't
go out of my way to return to it
if that made sense.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I feel like if we restarted videos
it wouldn't be the same because we're all old now.
Yeah, yeah.
It'd be quite sad.
I think if we've matured, we've grown,
we've experienced a lot.
The vidiots returning would not be,
it would not be vidiots
because we're just, we're not, we're sadly,
our core, we're not vidiates anymore.
Oh my God, don't say that.
Well, we're certainly poddians.
It's done. The dream is dead.
Yeah.
I feel the same.
I think, to me, it's like I look back on it so fondly, not just as a career period, but just generally, you know, despite the some of the mental trauma, I think probably all three of us went through at some point that year.
Certainly Ben and I, and maybe you might hear.
as well um in spite of all that i do look back on it so fondly as just a year of us making the
silliest funniest stuff um but would i go back and do it again i don't know and yeah i don't
think so i would love the opportunity to just spend a year making like stuff that i wanted to make
again that's an opportunity that'll probably never cross our doors again where we're just doing
whatever the fuck we want i would love to have that experience again but maybe it wouldn't be
idiots. Yeah, that's true. I mean, that part of me, that part of it, I suppose, is
tempting to a certain extent. Like if someone literally came to you and said, look, you don't
have to do your current job, you could go and literally make whatever you want and you would
have no financial worries, then, you know, even stepping back from either what my current
job means to me or what videos means to me, it's just practically speaking, it might be a
sensible thing to do. Just sign a contract.
that says you're guaranteed comfortable income for the next however long.
But, yeah, in terms of really what the current and the idiot's jobs mean to me,
then no, I don't think it would be the right thing to do.
What's your party trick?
Asked Richard Major 86.
Yeah, she says, do you have a party trick?
So you can just say no.
I can sort of make my ears move.
Oh, okay.
Um, I'm doing it now on video.
Nice.
Impressive, I can hear it.
Yeah.
It's not, uh, it's not showing up quite as well as I would like.
But they are moving, I promise you.
No one has ever been wowed by that.
I've never offered to show it to anyone and no one would ever want to see it.
So is it a party trick?
Not really, but that's the best I've got.
Mm-hmm.
Mikey?
I think I'm sadly party trickless.
I don't think, I don't think I've got any stunts I pull off at a party.
You are the party, Michael Johnson.
That's my trick.
There we go.
That was the party all the long.
Maybe hand farts.
That's all I've gone.
Hand farts. Okay, yeah.
Hey, guys, watch this.
Oh, what the fuck, man?
Why would you do there?
Gross.
You really brought the mood down in this party.
I can kind of doubly roll my tongue.
So obviously a lot of people can go like that, which I can do.
But I will perform it for the camera, but I've seen other people do this.
And I think it's kind of gross, but I'm going to show you anyway.
I don't like it.
you guys can't see it but oh you have you seen people do it mike yeah it's gross i'm trying
to do it my own tongue oh horrid there you go so i wouldn't do that probably at a party
i have just done it to an audience of however many hundred listeners and viewers but um that's it
uh final question then um let's say the world is ending and the only way to escape is go to space
says Skyler.rose 9.
Would you go? Why or why not?
So basically you're offered the chance to survive the end of the world,
but you then have to go and live, I don't know, on a rocket or on Mars in a fairly clinical Mars base.
Or you can just cut your losses.
I don't know.
It doesn't say.
Probably not.
No.
You can probably go with your family or your loved ones or however.
Hmm.
I don't think I'd want to go by myself.
Mm-hmm.
Mikey, would you go?
Aye.
Probably not, no, because I think like the first 100 years of colonising a planet
are going to be pretty fucking boring, so I'll skip that.
No, thank you.
Yeah, I mean, I don't want to...
I'll just die.
Yeah.
Exactly.
I don't want to look at gift horse in the mouth or be, you know,
because it seems a bit like flipping to say,
oh, get offered the chance to live and not die.
Now, whatever, I wouldn't take it.
I'd just die.
But, you know, I think, you know, it's nice to live on.
It has been nice to live on planet Earth, albeit, you know, with some rubbish bits.
But do you then just say, well, that was nice.
I'll lie down now and say that's the end.
Or do you go and live a boring life for another four or five decades?
Maybe not.
You've got like take a step back and look at yourself and think, am I the future of humanity?
Yeah.
Like of all the people on Earth, I'm one the lucky ones who gets to go away.
I'm the best that they could do.
Yeah.
God.
I'm quite happy to put my hands up and say, no, someone else.
can take that seat.
Someone who can actually do something useful with the skills.
I got nothing.
I edit videos.
What do we need that for?
Yeah.
