Starting point is 00:00:00 Pickax 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
Starting point is 00:00:15 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
Starting point is 00:00:25 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.
Starting point is 00:00:54 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.
Starting point is 00:01:25 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.
Starting point is 00:01:39 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,
Starting point is 00:02:15 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.
Starting point is 00:02:43 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.
Starting point is 00:03:07 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.
Starting point is 00:03:40 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
Starting point is 00:03:56 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
Starting point is 00:04:12 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.
Starting point is 00:04:27 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.
Starting point is 00:04:41 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.
Starting point is 00:04:51 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.
Starting point is 00:05:26 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.
Starting point is 00:05:48 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.
Starting point is 00:06:10 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.
Starting point is 00:06:36 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.
Starting point is 00:06:46 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.
Starting point is 00:07:06 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
Starting point is 00:07:24 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
Starting point is 00:07:33 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?
Starting point is 00:07:46 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.
Starting point is 00:07:59 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.
Starting point is 00:08:11 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.
Starting point is 00:08:28 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.
Starting point is 00:08:53 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.
Starting point is 00:09:05 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.
Starting point is 00:09:37 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.
Starting point is 00:09:50 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.
Starting point is 00:10:03 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?
Starting point is 00:10:16 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,
Starting point is 00:10:27 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?
Starting point is 00:10:40 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.
Starting point is 00:10:51 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.
Starting point is 00:11:03 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
Starting point is 00:11:23 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.
Starting point is 00:11:39 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.
Starting point is 00:12:00 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
Starting point is 00:12:31 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.
Starting point is 00:12:52 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.
Starting point is 00:13:06 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.
Starting point is 00:13:22 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.
Starting point is 00:13:56 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
Starting point is 00:14:21 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
Starting point is 00:14:36 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.
Starting point is 00:14:51 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.
Starting point is 00:15:11 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
Starting point is 00:15:36 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?
Starting point is 00:15:57 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.
Starting point is 00:16:11 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.
Starting point is 00:16:44 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.
Starting point is 00:17:08 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.
Starting point is 00:17:29 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.
Starting point is 00:17:45 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?
Starting point is 00:18:03 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.
Starting point is 00:18:28 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.
Starting point is 00:18:45 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.
Starting point is 00:19:06 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,
Starting point is 00:19:21 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.
Starting point is 00:19:37 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
Starting point is 00:20:03 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.
Starting point is 00:20:27 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.
Starting point is 00:20:41 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
Starting point is 00:21:06 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.
Starting point is 00:21:23 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,
Starting point is 00:21:46 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?
Starting point is 00:22:01 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.
Starting point is 00:22:14 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.
Starting point is 00:22:27 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.
Starting point is 00:22:39 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?
Starting point is 00:22:49 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
Starting point is 00:23:07 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.
Starting point is 00:23:31 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.
Starting point is 00:23:52 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?
Starting point is 00:24:15 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.
Starting point is 00:24:26 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
Starting point is 00:24:41 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.
Starting point is 00:24:52 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.
Starting point is 00:25:24 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.
Starting point is 00:25:53 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.
Starting point is 00:26:10 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,
Starting point is 00:26:25 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
Starting point is 00:26:41 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
Starting point is 00:26:53 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
Starting point is 00:27:03 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
Starting point is 00:27:14 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
Starting point is 00:27:29 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
Starting point is 00:27:43 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
Starting point is 00:28:00 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
Starting point is 00:28:21 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
Starting point is 00:29:09 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.
Starting point is 00:29:27 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.
Starting point is 00:29:53 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,
Starting point is 00:30:19 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.
Starting point is 00:30:42 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.
Starting point is 00:31:02 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
Starting point is 00:31:28 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.
Starting point is 00:31:50 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.
Starting point is 00:32:16 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.
Starting point is 00:32:47 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.
Starting point is 00:33:00 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.
Starting point is 00:33:15 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,
Starting point is 00:33:38 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.
Starting point is 00:33:54 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?
Starting point is 00:34:16 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.
Starting point is 00:34:32 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.
Starting point is 00:34:45 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.
Starting point is 00:34:58 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.
Starting point is 00:35:06 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.
Starting point is 00:35:24 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.
Starting point is 00:36:01 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.
Starting point is 00:36:26 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
Starting point is 00:36:45 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
Starting point is 00:37:04 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
Starting point is 00:37:19 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.
Starting point is 00:37:36 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.
Starting point is 00:38:08 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
Starting point is 00:38:30 overdose or is it precisely your tummy explodes with bananas which happens first the potassium maybe 12 bananas wow
Starting point is 00:38:43 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
Starting point is 00:38:52 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,
Starting point is 00:39:16 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
Starting point is 00:39:32 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
Starting point is 00:39:46 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
Starting point is 00:40:21 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?
Starting point is 00:40:42 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?
Starting point is 00:40:59 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.
Starting point is 00:41:12 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.
Starting point is 00:41:35 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.
Starting point is 00:41:55 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.
Starting point is 00:42:19 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.
Starting point is 00:42:47 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,
Starting point is 00:43:05 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,
Starting point is 00:43:40 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.
Starting point is 00:44:11 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.
Starting point is 00:44:36 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?
Starting point is 00:44:55 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.
Starting point is 00:45:10 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?
Starting point is 00:45:31 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.
Starting point is 00:45:53 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.
Starting point is 00:46:21 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
Starting point is 00:46:44 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
Starting point is 00:46:59 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.
Starting point is 00:47:17 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.
Starting point is 00:47:35 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.
Starting point is 00:48:03 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.
Starting point is 00:48:22 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.
Starting point is 00:48:38 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
Starting point is 00:48:58 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.
Starting point is 00:49:29 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.
Starting point is 00:49:51 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
Starting point is 00:50:10 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?
Starting point is 00:50:24 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.
Starting point is 00:50:34 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
Starting point is 00:50:54 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,
Starting point is 00:51:12 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.
Starting point is 00:51:32 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.
Starting point is 00:51:46 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.
Starting point is 00:51:55 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.
Starting point is 00:52:10 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.
Starting point is 00:52:27 I'm going to say four and a half. It says here six minutes. Really? Ooh. Yeah. Wow. Okay. You could be underwater.
Starting point is 00:52:35 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.
Starting point is 00:52:57 250 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.
Starting point is 00:53:09 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.
Starting point is 00:53:29 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,
Starting point is 00:54:02 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?
Starting point is 00:54:17 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.
Starting point is 00:54:31 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.
Starting point is 00:54:56 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
Starting point is 00:55:14 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.
Starting point is 00:55:30 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.
Starting point is 00:55:45 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.
Starting point is 00:56:06 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.
Starting point is 00:56:32 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.
Starting point is 00:56:58 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
Starting point is 00:57:21 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
Starting point is 00:57:37 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
Starting point is 00:57:50 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
Starting point is 00:58:14 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
Starting point is 00:58:34 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
Starting point is 00:58:53 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
Starting point is 00:59:13 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.
Starting point is 00:59:33 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.
Starting point is 00:59:59 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
Starting point is 01:00:40 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.
Starting point is 01:01:29 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?
Starting point is 01:01:51 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.
Starting point is 01:02:25 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.
Starting point is 01:02:48 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.
Starting point is 01:03:04 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?
Starting point is 01:03:17 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
Starting point is 01:03:38 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.
Starting point is 01:04:00 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
Starting point is 01:04:20 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
Starting point is 01:04:57 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,
Starting point is 01:05:13 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
Starting point is 01:05:50 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.
Starting point is 01:06:27 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.
Starting point is 01:06:52 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
Starting point is 01:07:23 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.
Starting point is 01:07:46 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.
Starting point is 01:07:56 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
Starting point is 01:08:19 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
Starting point is 01:08:30 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
Starting point is 01:08:40 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
Starting point is 01:08:55 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?
Starting point is 01:09:13 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
Starting point is 01:09:47 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,
Starting point is 01:10:35 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
Starting point is 01:10:56 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.
Starting point is 01:11:11 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.
Starting point is 01:11:27 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
Starting point is 01:11:47 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
Starting point is 01:12:10 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
Starting point is 01:12:58 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
Starting point is 01:13:43 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
Starting point is 01:13:52 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
Starting point is 01:14:02 500 to 700 police officers and various other law enforcement to try and quell the stinky sweaty fighting masses
Starting point is 01:14:11 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
Starting point is 01:14:27 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.
Starting point is 01:14:41 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.
Starting point is 01:15:03 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?
Starting point is 01:15:20 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
Starting point is 01:15:43 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
Starting point is 01:16:08 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.
Starting point is 01:16:19 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.
Starting point is 01:16:40 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.
Starting point is 01:16:55 It comes from at Desi Love on Twitter. Hashtag send Desi, is the username.

No. However, allow me to introduce you to Revolution Beauty London's collaboration with Shrek. Shrek, yes.
Starting point is 01:17:24 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...

Got all sorts in here. A donkey headband, which is just donkey's little black tuft of hair and his ears.
Starting point is 01:18:14 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
Starting point is 01:18:35 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
Starting point is 01:18:52 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
Starting point is 01:19:04 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.
Starting point is 01:19:26 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?
Starting point is 01:19:50 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.
Starting point is 01:20:08 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.
Starting point is 01:20:26 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.
Starting point is 01:20:39 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.
Starting point is 01:21:02 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.
Starting point is 01:21:31 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
Starting point is 01:21:56 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
Starting point is 01:22:10 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
Starting point is 01:22:20 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
Starting point is 01:22:31 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.
Starting point is 01:23:05 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.
Starting point is 01:23:21 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.
Starting point is 01:23:31 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.
Starting point is 01:24:04 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.
Starting point is 01:24:27 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
Starting point is 01:25:03 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
Starting point is 01:25:28 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.
Starting point is 01:26:10 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
Starting point is 01:27:28 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
Starting point is 01:28:02 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
Starting point is 01:28:21 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.
Starting point is 01:28:33 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?
Starting point is 01:28:51 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?
Starting point is 01:29:09 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.
Starting point is 01:29:26 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.
Starting point is 01:29:36 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.
Starting point is 01:29:58 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
Starting point is 01:30:09 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
Starting point is 01:30:19 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,
Starting point is 01:30:45 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
Starting point is 01:31:29 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
Starting point is 01:31:50 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.
Starting point is 01:32:24 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.
Starting point is 01:32:52 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
Starting point is 01:33:08 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,
Starting point is 01:33:21 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.
Starting point is 01:33:51 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
Starting point is 01:34:34 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.
Starting point is 01:35:09 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.
Starting point is 01:35:25 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?
Starting point is 01:35:40 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.
Starting point is 01:35:53 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.
Starting point is 01:36:11 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.
Starting point is 01:36:48 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.
Starting point is 01:37:08 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.
Starting point is 01:37:27 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.
Starting point is 01:37:40 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.
Starting point is 01:38:02 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.
