Ish. It's exciting. In fact, you even suggested we did poddietz outside today, like a nice day at primary school. I'd love to just have poddietz outside today. That'd be nice. It's quite nice, yeah. We don't have the equipment. No, we don't.

And if we went and recorded it in a park, we'd be accosted by youths. We would, yeah. And robbed. Too scared of the children to even be anywhere near them. So, yeah, leave me alone. I don't want to give them any ammunition to use against me in public. It's not good time. Absolutely not.

Have you ever had anything shouted at you by youth on the street? We got shouted out by youths in the park recently, didn't we? Ben. Yeah, really? Last week. We were shooting for the video game, the silly video game that we're making a triple jump. It's an FMV, Choose Your Own Adventure game, so it's all live action stuff. And while we were in the park, on a weekday, I hastened to add, not on Easter holidays, or half-term holidays.

Two boys were on, like, the tire swing in front of us where we were sitting, having our lunch on a bench. There were about six of us, and they were like, will you push us? will you push us and we kind of thought like okay I mean there's worse things to have shouted at you by boys in a park but we were like

we're not going to go and push the boys on the swing that seems problematic but then because we'd not immediately either engage with them or said that we would push them on the swing they decided actually we're going to say

really disgusting things about like members of your team and yeah what did one of them said something I can't remember I remember telling Amy about it afterwards and she was like

for God's sake but yeah I've forgotten all the specifics now which is probably a good thing Yeah it is They were they were awful awful children Yeah How old must they have been

Maybe early secondary school 12, 13 something like that Yeah Just just little shit bags That will amount to Not a great deal in life But unfortunately they will be the ones who are fortunate enough to pass their jeans along at the earliest opportunity, I'm certain.

And pass their behaviour along as well. Yeah, awful. Just the worst kind of people. Yeah. And they weren't even grown. Have you been accosted recently, Mikey, by anyone, by a child? Not recently, sadly. I think still the old-timers that still stands out to me is when I got called fucking cat shirt.

I'm waiting for a bus. Because you had a cat on your shirt, is that? Yeah. yeah yeah so now i don't i just wear plain clothes all the time oh no brutal you've taken down by this kid even stripes feel too much right bananas in pajamas they're not going to know what that is michael that's true that's true all right they're safe no no one wears stripy clothes anymore so i can no safe you're good all right thank god my wardrobe was suddenly grown by a whole pattern this is amazing i remember um uh uh uh my brother bringing

his friend home from school when I was a child and he was a child. So getting accosted by children when you are a child is perhaps not quite as traumatising as it is as an adult. But regardless, his friend was brought home and they decided to pick on me for the day. And they called me Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater. Whoa. Oh my God. When was the last time you ate a pumpkin? Cut me deep. Never. I've never eaten a pumpkin. So it was even true. awful bastards these kids these kids man

well you know who wouldn't let us down here's a segue you know who wouldn't accost anyone in a park who Kevin got your bloody right

you're bloody right you're bloody right everybody and welcome back to Pottie. It's the official video podcast. It's a conversational podcast where everybody brings, hang on, let me check my notes. I thought I was going to do that. Well, we take some questions from you at home and obey the law of the three us, where everybody brings. Irthing along to talk about. I'm Ben. I'm Peter. And I'm Michael. For a second there, I thought, I'm going to do it. I'm going to go all the way through without looking at my notes. I only been doing this six years. And you failed. And then I got lost in the weeds immediately. Yeah. Completely dropped the ball.

How you doing, boys? All right, thanks. How are you? Sweaty, but good. Sweaty and good. I like sweat. Sweaty and good thing to be. I'd rather be sweaty than shivery.

Yeah. Of course. I don't think it's quite sunny enough up here for it to be sweaty. No. No, not yet. Not yet. But it was nice, though. Very nice.

Did enjoy. Yeah. Although it's many gone now, hasn't it? Yeah. Yeah, it's gone a bit cloudy now, but it never runs. Well, we had it, didn't we? We had a whole summer's worth of sunshine today. That was it.

That was summer. It's been ungone. It's over now. Yeah. It's fucking gone. Big exciting update in my life. Oh yeah? My fence has been fixed.

No way. It's a huge news. This is it. This is the point that I am at in my life where my fence, garden fence that's been blowing over for the past few months, finally got it fixed today. I've never been. more excited in my entire life to walk into my back garden and see it upright and then do that thing where you don't really not even you don't really there's i have zero knowledge of fences but i walked along and i grabbed it and i gave it a little shake and i was like that's not going

anywhere yeah that's great solid solid fence great stuff really good work there uh and so my fence is upright and i can i can sleep easy tonight thrilled over the moon nice i'm very happy for you Thank you. Congratulations. It's been a long time coming. You can sleep soundly in your garden without the fear of being trampled by a rogue fence falling onto you. No more interruptions. It's great.

It was blowing into the neighbour's garden. Oh, God. I think we've now made friends with them, which is great because we had to go around and ask if they could have access. And they were like, oh, we'll pay for some of it. No, no, no, no, you don't have to do that. No, seriously, we want to. We should all go get a drink at some point as well. Oh, friends.

Oh, my God. Amazing. It's great. We've mended fences, literally, even though they were. was no beef to begin with. It's a beautiful story. Have you ever actually gone out for drinks on your neighbours? I feel like I've had that offer tempted a few times,

but it's very rare the offer gets taken up. I just caught my neighbour on the driveway. He was pulling in as I was pulling in, getting out of our cars. And he said to me, he said, like said hello and yeah, asked how I was. And he said,

get up too much on the weekend, which he's never asked me before. Oh. And I said to it, I genuinely couldn't remember, even though I actually did quite a lot on the weekend. And like, I wasn't even in Newcastle.

I went somewhere. I couldn't really remember. So I sort of made the sort of noise and body language of like, and I said, hmm, God, the weekend. And he said to me, yeah, so long ago, wasn't it, trying to remember. It's Wednesday at the time of recording. He wanted to go inside. Yeah.

And so I just went, yeah, not much, really, not much. And then he went, yeah, we went down to see my sister. Anyway, see you later So we sort of did our, we did enough And we were both personally happy with it And then we went inside That's good Just imagine what you'll be able to talk about next time

I know, yeah Like what we did last weekend Last night Last night Yeah, as if you're going to remember Yeah, no idea I think one of my biggest like takeaways From talking to an old neighbor once

Was we always used to say hello every once a while And, like, you know, passing nods. And one day we got chatting and we got on the topic of taskmaster. And I was like, oh, like, oh, I've got the taskmaster board game if you want to borrow it. It's like, oh, yeah, cool. I've got a hard drive full of every different taskmaster from every different country. If you ever want to just copy all the episodes, like, sweet, let's go. So it's like, there's like, there's taskmaster but worldwide.

And I've got like the New Zealand one on lock and there's other ones out there. So sometimes neighbors can be fruitful more than just a few passing polite remarks. So it's worth, it's worth digging in. Amazing. Well, I might get a drink out of it, so we'll see what happens. But yeah, apart from that, nothing too exciting to report. Well, that was exciting. Nothing more exciting than that to report.

Oh, well, that's all right. Perhaps the patrons have something more exciting to report. Our wonderful patrons over at Not Patreon. If you want to, because fixing your fence can be expensive. Many fences can be expensive. Getting mixed up with my flipping podcast. Admin. Stealing episodes of taskmasker,

master, what is it? What's it, what's it called? Yeah, task tasker. Yeah, that could be expensive. Small talk with your neighbour, that could be expensive too. If you're in a position to support this podcast, we'd really appreciate it if you went to poddiots.com. If you give three pounds or more,

Oh, which one would you like? Listener or on my own? Listener. Okay. I have one from, let me find it. Hang on. It is open in the tab. Idris Gazelba. Nice. at Liam Piccolo on Twitter

and it's an article on Devonlive.com written by Sarah Lumley relative of Joanna I can only assume. I've got to assume. Monster pothole near Totner's supermarket becomes trip-advisor tourist attraction.

Oh, lovely. The giant crater in Coronation Road, Totners, I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right, Near Morrison's supermarket has reportedly been a problem for months and locals are now calling it the UK's version of the Grand Canyon. Okay. A huge pothole on the approach to a Morrison supermarket has become such a problem that locals have created a trip advisor page for it

and are calling it the UK's version of the Grand Canyon. The Morrison's pothole is now ranked among the top 50 things to do in Totteners on TripAdvisor and is categorised under both geological formations and points of interest and landmarks in the town. As many as 17 people have left reviews for the pothole. There's many ass. With 15 of those, giving it five stars, calling it a grand day out and a must-see attraction. One reviewer wrote, I took a group of friends here for a day out.

It was a sight to behold. Arizona has the Grand Canyon. Australia has Uluru, potentially. And Zambia has the Victoria Falls. But Topner's has the Great Morrison's Pothole. I enjoyed the Brutus Stone. Otner's Castle, and a visit to Sharpeham. But enjoying a picnic of soggy sandwiches and weak tea whilst viewing the finest site in town was something I'll never forget. I get a bit

emoche just thinking about it. Another penned, fantastic how over millions of years these beautiful craters in the earth form. I've seen canyons around the world, and this has got to be my favourite so far. Brilliant day out. We'll be coming again. The nearby Morrison's cafe is all right, and there is parking available. to get it out to look at it. It's just listing all the reviews now. And a third commented, one of the best attractions in Totners. I visit several times a week.

Such a great addition to the town. It's great that someone has finally put it on the map. It's very good of them to build the Morrison's visitor center there next to the pothole. That's not an actual Morrison supermarket. That's just the visitor center. You've got all your conveniences for when you're there. I'm looking at the trip advisor for Totners. I'm trying to see where the...

Weirdly, the article doesn't hyperlink to the actual TripAdvisor post. It just links to things to do in Totner's TripAdvisor. Right. So I'm now trying to find it. Maybe it's gone. Oh. I hope not. We haven't even seen a photo of it yet. Have you found it?

No, I thought I found it, but I think they've removed it. Oh, my God. Yeah, there's nothing there. Oh, no. There's not even a photo of the pothole in the article, which is kind of weird. I'm going to Google Totner's pothole and hope that there's a cashed photo somewhere. There's just Google. Google Maps, like street view things, but there's...

Ben, another breaking news as we've developed it made two hours ago. Oh my God, what's happened? Wow, look at that pothole. Okay, thank you, Mikey. I'll read that now. Oh my God, look at the air. I've just found that myself. There's probably not much to it beyond it.

It was filled up. From the Independent, it's trying to load. Clearly, at least 17 people are attempting to load the web page as we speak. 18 including me This is some great photos It doesn't want to load I'm not actually allowed to Maybe that's been taken down as well

Breaking Okay I've got it working in Microsoft Edge Cheers Chrome Pothole And then it says in quotes Badly Fixed After it became tourist attraction on TripAdvisor Here we are

God that's a bad pot hole Residents of a town and Devon Are Furious due to a huge pot hole Being badly fixed after it became a listed tourist attraction on TripAdvisor Locals in Totteners took to the review site after they became fed up with what they dubbed the UK's version of the Grand Canyon outside their local Morrison supermarket. But people claimed the repair was not done properly and was an attempt to appease the online criticism and a calling for the council to return to redo the job. We've had a minor victory in Totteners getting a quick patch up to a big pothole in town by getting it listed on Tripaviser as a local attraction.

Yes, we know. Local resident Matthew G. told the independent. It's not a proper job though and frankly a mere PR action. exercise and a waste of money. God, they have done a crap job. Do you want to see? Yeah, that's not good feeling. It's not a very good job.

It's very patchy and lumpy. Yeah. Rubbish. I guess it's less of a hole now. It's just a little bumpy course to go through now. Perhaps we can change it to, you know, it's no longer comparable to the Grand Canyon, but it's, I don't know.

It's a, what's a famous lumpy thing instead of a famous home? Grimis. Grimmy. Yeah. Totner's answer to grimace. To grimace. He said that within a day of the TripAdvisor page being covered by local media, the council had taken action but labelled it as a quick,

a quick, cheap and messy repair job and a waste of taxpayer funds. He said, they have not even dug out the edges to make sure the tarmac they poured will grip. So, yeah, they've done a horrible job. Right. What a shame. We could have enjoyed that pot.

hole for years to come. Some residents claim they suffered damage to their cars from the pothole. One person said the whole cost him $96 quid for a new tire, while another blamed it for his vehicle's failed suspension. God. That's no good. No. Well, what an adventure.

I'm loving all this breaking news that we're getting during Poddiet's recordings. Very good, yeah. Fantastic. On a roll. Happy to serve, you know. We just need to, any story that is unresolved, we just need to cover it. in the next episode. So perhaps the missing front of that gorilla,

whatever his name was. Yeah, Gary. Gary. Gary. Gary's front. If we just cover it again, that Gary's front is missing, I'm sure within two hours,

it will be back. It'll show up. We've got a lot of power here. Too much power. Yeah, let's use it for really innocuous things like finding the front half of a gorilla statue. That's a good use of it. Yeah.

100%. There we are. That's my listener slash viewer submitted thing. Thank you, Ben, slash listener slash viewer for that. Thank you. Mikey, it's time for your own thing. I'd love to do my own thing.

I figured with our current trend of covering hot off the press's news, just as we've done so there, you know, news has gotten weird over the years? Or has it gotten weird or has it always been weird? There's the question I'm putting to you today. And so I had a rummage through the New York Times archives, and I found three delightfully weird articles

that were actually put in a physical newspaper many, many, many years ago. Oh, fantastic. Weird olds? Old-eats. This is, yeah, this is old-y-its. Not everything has to be an aetz.

No. So this first one comes from September 14th, 1899. This is, a couple of centuries back. And this is, I think one of my,

is despite this, being a kind of a sad story, the way it's told is second to none, and the person has a real, real grudge against the subject of this story. So I'll give you the headline first. Parrot was a gas fiend. No. Oh, no. It's always the ones you least expect. I'm just going to actually, let me read the subtitle. Then I'll send you a picture, the picture they decide to use of the parrot for this article. At last killed his owner by tearing off burner while she slept. And the victim,

the culprit in question is this. Oh, look at that bastard. Oh, my God. He's like a supervillain. Like Mary Poppins. For those listening at home, this is a little parrot wearing a little hat and a jacket and a little cane.

Are you sure that's actually him? I don't think that's actually him. I think it's just a stock photo. It could be, though. It doesn't even look Victorian. and parrots are different back then they've lost their clothes

over the years anyway let's find out about this devious parrot Alice Knott 23 years old came to her death yesterday through the instrumentality

of her pet parrot an evil disposition bird who was cordially detested by everyone except his mistress but his mistress seemed to have a strong affection no the bird

seemed to have a strong affection for his mistress and despised everyone else. He would follow her from room to room and was never happy except in her presence. He was generally regarded as a devil or a bird of ill omen. Oh my God. His unpopularity was increased

by an uncanny habit of pulling the tips off of gas burners with his strong beak and inhaling the gas until it stupefied him. What? Wow. Good boy.

and he was a gas fiend, a feathered victim of the gas habit. So, yeah, I don't know if his bird knew what it was doing, but I think it was just pulling off like the knob of a gas valve and getting absolutely off its beak on it and passing out. And this is the rest of the story is about one particular fateful day where this parrot fed its gas habits. And while his young mistress was sleeping yesterday, the parrot took off the larvae.

lava tip in her room and started on a gas debauch. This time, there was no one near to avert the consequences of his deed. When Miss Knott's relatives, alarmed by her long silence, broke open the door, they found her dead. Her little murderer was found half unconscious by the door. When he found himself succumbing to the gas and was not rescued as usual by his mistress, he realized that something was wrong and had the wit or instinct enough

to make for the door and shove his bill as far as he could underneath it. He recovered and while the coroner was in the house the malignant little bird was caught trying to turn the gas on again. He just can't quit. It's a story you hear all too often these days and it's really sad, you know,

this bird needed help and was failed. Yeah. This is a cry for health. And gas debauching is a serious, serious problem. That's wreaking havoc on our countries. 20 quill to ground. No.

Have you seen the price? And that's where the story ends. There's no, I couldn't find any follow up on what happened to the bird. If he got sent to prison or what. I hope so. Got the chair, I should hope. Or the gas chamber? Yeah, he got gas.

Oh, no, he loves the gas, though. You can't give him that. Yeah, that would be too nice for him. All right. We move on to March 14th, 1909. And the headline reads, lazy man in bed for 10 years. Oh, no.

And the subtitle reads, Mumcra, which is his last name. Not sick, but just refuses to get up. Netflix wasn't even that good back then. No, I don't know what he was doing. This is pre-making a murderer Netflix. So that was the point. The laziest man in the world

lives in this village. His name is John Mumcra and he is being in bed 10 years because he is unwilling to comply with the rules of the Jersey County Farm which say that one living there shall rise at 5am sharp. But Mumcray is not sick. He eats regularly and is in perfect health. He says I'll never get up anymore. I might as well stay in bed. It's too much trouble undressing every night and dressing again every morning anyway. Too ripe. Good for you, John. What's the point of putting it on clothes?

If you're just going to have to put them on again at the end of the day, and why not take that to the end of the degree? If you're going to only get back in bed at the end of day, just stay in bed. Yeah. The person who I guess is his employer at the county farm said, I am ready to hold up my hand and swear that he has kept his word, said Superintendent morning of the county farm.

John has been in bed 10 years, and he says he will. stay there for the remainder of his life. And if you're curious what he was getting up to, he just lies there and looks at the ceiling or rolls over once in a while and takes a nap. Takes a nap. It's quite tiring looking at the ceiling. Does he sleep or does he just nap?

I think he's probably just in a permanent state of nap, isn't he? He just kind of wakes up in a blur. Still in bed. All right, well, not getting out of this bed. Back to sleep, I go. Sounds awful, actually. Yeah, and again, I did try to do a follow-up search on this. I don't think there was any, any conclusion to this story, sadly,

but maybe news is broke as we record the details of if he bothered to get out of bed. He's still in bed. Lastly, we have, oh, I didn't get the year from this one, but I think they're all about the year 1900. The headline reads, a dog that talks. What? I think, Ben, you did a story on talking dogs recently, didn't you? So, I just, was it Ben?

you, Peter? I don't remember doing talking dogs. I did a story about a dog who dueled someone. Okay, good. I was worried I'd encroached on someone else's thing. So this is fresh talking dog news. The subtitle reads, He demands cakes in good German, it is asserted.

This setting, well, apparently, well, there's some examples of what he can say here, so we can try and ascertain how good as German is. I like, yeah, it's a good german as well it's not like it sounds a bit like he's asking for cakes it's like no no this is like oh level german or whatever they had in the 1900s the scientific sensation of the hour in germany is the talking dog don the dog's vocabulary it has said already embraces six words which i admire actually i think six words is a pretty

achievable. Like, if I heard a dog could say six words, like, yeah, all right, maybe. If it said, oh, a whole hundred words, he can put sentences together and do grammar, then I'd be doubting it. But this, six, I can believe that. Can he conjugate verbs? I mean, a dog speak, being able to say six words is like, like, he's going above and beyond in terms of achievement compared to the man he's been in bed for 10 years. That's true. his alleged elocutionary power came to light early this week as a result of reports from the United States

that Professor Alexander Graham Bell had succeeded in teaching a terrier to speak and shortly after it was declared that Germany not only possessed a dog with similar gifts but a dog which had been talking for five years in fact ever since he was six months old I think a little bit suspect that kept it wraps all this time but, you know, maybe they just kept to their one villagey entire time.

Dogs talk, right? That's what they do. Yeah. The story was first considered a joke, but interested in choirs have come away convinced that Don is a genuine canine wonder. According to his owner, the animal sauntered up one day to the table where the family were eating, and when his master asked, do you want something, don't you? He stupefied the family by replying and a deep, masculine tone,

Haben, haban On English want, want Oh my God Okay Haben Haben Like that does That just sounds like a dog

Or how Haav Yeah It does a bit But I'm not gonna I'm not gonna I'm not gonna poop at all yet She said

Burlap Sorry Did you hear that shit She said burlap What's the talk about The tone It says Is not a bark

Or a growl It is declared but distinct speech and an increased plainness from day to day as his master took more interest in the dog's newly discovered talent. And then the dog went on to learn to say hunger when asked what he had. Then he was taught to say Kuchin or cakes. And finally, Yaa and nine. These all do sound like kind of sound like barks.

Kuchin, Kuchin, maybe I could see that. Yeah, yeah. Nine. Nine. Ninth. Nineth. Yeah. And it is added that he is now able to string together several of these words together in sensible rotation. And we'll say, hunger, I want cakes. Just imagine how good he is now with all the practice he's had over the last century. Yeah. I want Billy Bearham from the factory. Mmm. Nom, nom. It'd be two felled Hoyers.

Yeah, the next word he learned was Feldhoes. The New York Times correspondent has caused inquiries regarding Don to be made through trustworthy authorities at Hamburg. He is assured that the dog is an unqualified scientific marvel. And it finishes on. Don's owner is overwhelmed with applications from circus and music hall managers who are outbidding one another for the privilege of exhibiting the dog. Wow. There you go. You've gone up here a couple of franc to see a dog say,

I want cake on stage then time travel back to 1900s Germany that's the place to be that concludes my little my little trapes through history so yes news has always been weird almost a little bit more whimsical and fun back then

than magical potholes though maybe yeah the air people weren't taking the piss as much then no there's no weird rambling stories in Welsh newspapers that are clearly just fan fiction picturing characters as Dave the Rave what who are the characters in that weird there's Puerto Rico Dave

Puerto Rico Paul Paul sorry yep yeah Terry Hallibut or something I can't remember none of that back then just real hard hit the news they probably like do much better write-ups as well in the 1800s

than they do nowadays I mean the crap that we have to wade through when we're reading the old tabloids you know it's probably proof read better back then Yeah, you don't hear about debauches anymore, sadly. Well, thank you, Mikey. Thank you.

That was lovely. Now, I'm going to read my listener-slash-view-submitted thing. It's from Greg Miller at Greg Mill 2-290 on Twitter. I'm not going to read the full headline. You'll find out as we read the article instead. I don't want to spoil any surprises. But a little girl said monsters were in her bedroom. bedroom. Then they found out what it was. This is according to BBC News.

So, when three-year-old Sailor Class began complaining of monsters in her bedroom, her parents thought it was just a figment of a child's overactive imagination. Sailor had complained of monsters in the wall of her room at their farmhouse in Charlotte, North Carolina. Her mother, Ashley Massise Class, and her husband, thought nothing of it. They had all just shown their daughter, the Pixar movie, Monsters Inc. Sorry, they had, after all, just shown her Monsters Inc. We even gave her a bottle of water and said it was monster spray so she could spray away any of the monsters at night, said Miss Massis Class, a home designer. But over the following months, Sailor became more insistent that there was something in her closet. It began to make more sense when Miss Marcee's class noticed

bees swarming in clusters near the attic and chimney outside the 100-year-old house. They thought sailor might be hearing the buzzing near her bedroom ceiling. She called a pest control company that found the winged insects were honeybees, a protected species in the United States. It turns out that there were 60,000 bees in the roof of the building that she'd been hearing. God, imagine that. There's a monster of my bed here. Have some spray water.

Yeah, just spray the water if the monster's comfy. The bees love it. Yeah. So the bees had apparently spent eight months building a monster hive. The beekeeper brought a thermal camera

to scan the walls in the three-year-old's bedroom. It lit up like Christmas, Miss Massis class said. The beekeeper said he'd never seen a hive go that far down into the wall. He tracked it into a coin-sized hole

in the corner of an attic vent. the beekeeper who massis class's daughter began calling the monster hunter opened the wall to reveal a large honeycomb um there's an image here that i don't know if it is showing the honeycoat it's not very clear what's in this image but anyway here's what appears to be at least a hole in the wall if not also the honeycomb um it's not it's not a very good image um so uh the beekeeper removed between 55 thousand and 65,000 bees and 100 pounds, that's 45 kilograms of honeycomb.

Crikey. They just came pouring out like a horror movie, Miss Marcees class said. There have been three extractions by reverse vacuuming the insects out of the wall to put them into boxes. The insects are being relocated to a honeybee sanctuary.

Miss Marcee's class has had to screen off the room between extractions to prevent the bees from buzzing around her home. The honey bees and their honey damage the house's electric wiring. She said her homeowner's insurance won't cover anything pest related because they deem it preventable. She estimates the bees have caused more than $20,000, that's $16,000 pounds in damages. Goodness me. That's the end of the article. So if you have children at home and your child can hear monsters in the walls, it just might be.

60,000 bees. Just tons of bees. Yeah. Oh dear. Bless her. Wow. I don't want to docks too much, but someone I know has said that in their house,

they just noticed one day that like coming up out of the carpet, there were like maggots just rising from the carpet. They were like, what the hell is this? So they hoovered them all up, and they said, within like seconds, there were more just coming out. They were like, what the hell? So they called a pest controller in, and apparently, in their attic, they had a wasps nest, right? And the wasps produce something or give off some kind of chemical or something that flies really like. And so flies had then been coming into, like, the wall cavity, because they had quite an old house and there was a little tiny hole in it.

they'd come in under the floor of the bedroom and they'd been like laying eggs or whatever it is that flies do and then somehow the maggots were able to i guess they were coming between the floorboards and then perhaps they're able to actually get through like carpet underlay i don't know and they were just rising like something from a horror movie so uh that's lovely isn't it oh it's horror i'd just sell my house yeah i would just burn it down it's done bad house You have wasps and maggots in your house, congratulations. Maybe that problem will take care of itself. The wasps can eat the maggots. Oh, but then the wasps get stronger. That's not good. You don't want that. It does feel wrong to vacuum up maggots from your floor,

but I can't think of a better solution, so fair play to them. So they had the wasps nest taken out, and apparently, you know, once all the maggots are gone, flies aren't likely to come back in and lay more. So I think they just, well, they may have all gone already, but yeah, it was basically just. Just, yeah, remove them as they appear, and then they will be gone. Awful.

Yeah. Keep insects out of your house. Keep bees out. Keep wasps out. Or you will get flies too, apparently. Yeah. There you go. Well, it's now time for you, Ben, to give us your own thing.

It's right here. This is from a website called atlasobscura.com under a subsection called Gastro Obscura. It's written by Bennett Ria.

And I can only imagine that Bennett had a fair amount of Ria after what Bennett got up to as detailed in the article I'm going to read you. Now, four shocking recipes from the tables of past US presidents. Oh boy. Here we go. In 2017, my wife's grandmother pulled a dusty cookbook from her bookshelf and handed it to me with a sparkly-eyed grin. When I opened up the 1989 South Dakota centennial cookbook, I was in awe. Real politicians from South Dakota and beyond had offered up their homespun recipes for this publication,

and almost all of them from the state senators all the way up to President Ronald Reagan's were absolutely disgusting. Oh no. That cookbook sparked the idea for cooking with Congress, my endless mission to recreate unreal recipes from real politicians at the expense of my taste buds. In honor of President's Day,

here are four of my favorite terrifying recipes from past presidents, which I recreated and taste tested at home so that you never have to make them yourself. Are you ready for the first one? Yes. Here is a picture of the first one. Doesn't look too bad.

Here it comes. It's a 16 megabyte photo. Jesus. It's on its way. I'll wait then. It's thinking about it. There it is. That looks all right.

Looks all right, isn't it? Okay. Could be anything. Could be sweet, could be savory, could be lovely, could be horrible. But yeah, it's not obviously bad. What do you see? What does it look like?

It's basically what looks like some sort of pink, milkshake. Mm-hmm. Big-ish. Accurate, yeah. This is Woodrow Wilson's healthy breakfast, in inverted commas.

Start the day off with a healthy breakfast, as the saying goes. Your definition of health, however, may differ from President Woodrow Wilson's. He was known to drink a simple concoction of Concord grape juice and raw eggs in the morning. Thought to be a recommendation

of his old Navy doctor in order to bulk Wilson up, his healthy breakfast recipe is a simple, as it is polarising. Half a glass of Concord grape juice, two raw eggs and a spoon to stir. Wilson reportedly said it tasted like an unborn thing.

What does that mean? Wilson. After tasting the creamy purple beverage, I can confirm it is definitely dot dot dot, dot, embryonic. I struggled with getting it down even though I have a strong stomach. The idea of raw eggs didn't bother me

as much as the texture, which was 70% smoothie, 30% ooze Blended with an electric whisk Woodrow's weight packing meal could have been palatable with a bar spoon better left for the iron stomachs

of fitness influencers and Rocky Balboa So that's the first one Here comes the second one This one is more of a visual treat Michael Johnson I'd like you to try And describe this if you can This one's 15 megabytes

So I really want you to savour Every single pixel That you're about to see All right, where do I begin with this? So it looks like a ring of what looks like Kohl Slaw with a bowl of marmalade sat in the middle of it placed upon a bed of leaves from the garden. Red leaves.

Mmm, tasty leaves. Well, this gentleman is, of course, Theodore Roosevelt's cream of cucumber salad. Ooh, right. I'm not really seeing any cucumber. in that. He's in no meaning either. It's as follows.

A hearty breakfast calls for a light, slippery lunch, courtesy of one of the toughest presidents the country has ever seen. While known for downplaying assassination attempts and carrying a big stick, Theodore Roosevelt had a softer side when it came to his palate. Many of his family's recipes featured homegrown ingredients from his garden, including this, the first gelatin-based salad I can find that was consumed in the White House. Teddy's cream of cucumber salad calls for peeled cucumbers, pimentoes, milk, lemon, tarragon vinegar, whipped cream, and a side of French dressing. While the finished product looks like a shiny Watergate salad, and that's hyperlinked, I don't know what that is,

it tastes like someone dropped sugar-free marshmallow fluff onto a plate of crudette. The French dressing and bed of lettuce it is served upon give it the feeling of a modern salad, but the clotty consistency and milk-flavored, milk-forward flavour are reminders of just how far from modern it is. I don't think there's a single thing here, Mikey, that you're actually allowed to eat. I could maybe have the leaves, yeah, if I washed them off. I could have some of that. Next one incoming, Peter Austin.

What is this? Oh my God. Well, I would like to point out that all three images we've seen so far, and I imagine the fourth image each plate is on an American flag tablecloth which is a great touch. This is very difficult to tell what it is because it's been made in a mould

which means it is shaped like a sort of it's got like clamshell edges and it has a big flower sort of print placed on the top there is a dish of what looks like the previous the breakfast ring has been placed.

It's a bit of leftovers in there. And it's, yeah, it's just like a big beige. It's like a, like a creme brulee almost. If only. What you are looking at is tricky dicks ham moose. Ham moose. Tricky Dix. Ham space moose.

Oh, God. Hamous. This is Richard Nixon's hamoose. and here's the description A Nixon household favourite prior to his presidency This Fluffy beige Dream features the classic combination of ground ham and whipped cream

Oh God, why is it whipped cream every time Nixon was known for having a Spartan diet enjoying meals of hamburgers and cottage cheese topped with ketchup However, his late day snacks would often include items like this chilled ham moose a gelatinous, meaty cousin to Roosevelt's cream of cucumber salad. Yeah.

Both recipes called for gelatin and whipped cream, but the end results couldn't be more different in the flavour department. Alongside ground ham and whipped cream, tomato juice and beef consummate fill out the mouth-watering cast with homemade mayonnaise in a supporting roll on the side. Since beginning this project, I have recreated more than 100 different dishes from politicians. Only twice have I not been able to swallow a second bowl. bite for posterity. This ham moose is one of those occasions. Imagine they've invented a new cool whip flavour and that flavour is boiled ham loaf. I've included the recipe below. Bon

Appetit. Oh God. The trend here so far, it seems to be everything that looks savoury as sweet and everything that's sweet and savoury. Not that you can even consider the cucumber round to be sweet, but it's mostly whipped cream. Good God. See, I don't even think this last one is the worst looking one of the bunch but it is the one that we're going to be ending on per the order of the article so uh michael what's this that looks like jelly with a lot of cream on top surely surely that's just fruit that can't be a thing orange jelly yeah after sorry before i get into it this is george hw bush's wine jelly okay doesn't sound too bad apart from the bush part doesn't sound too bad

After a full day of raw eggs, cucumber milk and ham-flavored whipped cream, whipped cream, sorry, you deserve dessert. Wine jelly in the US goes back at least as far as Thomas Jefferson. As president in 1790, he served it to Alexander Hamilton and James Madison at the famous dinner table bargain, which resulted in the assumption of state debts by the debt, sorry, by the federal government and the relocation of the country's capital. So this dish has an important history.

Jefferson's wine jelly came atop a green salad and was made with gelatin, Madeira, milk, lemon juice and sugar. Bush Seniors is made with gelatin, cream sherry, orange juice, lemon juice and sugar and is served with whipped cream in the centre and a picture of cream on the side or decorated with chocolate leaves. I was cream to these lemons need.

It's a lot of dairy, isn't it? Everything's just gelatin with cream. The unflavored gelatin gives off a slightly cow hoof aroma when you first pour boiling water upon it. This isn't abnormal when dealing with unflavored powdered gelatin though it is off-putting when you're making dessert. From there, it's a simple pour-mix chill process

with the various dairy products poured into onto every bite, you almost forget that what you're eating tastes like congealed soup stock. Perhaps cream sherry was higher quality in 1989, Perhaps Madeira is the better option. Perhaps it's time to stop eating like the president for today. It's kind of weird to think that by placing cream on top of your gelatin, you are using, like the gelatin is made from cow,

and the cream comes from inside a cow. It's just a strange combination of cow-adjacent or cow-related products. It is. I'm looking at the ingredients list for Tricky Dix, Hamous. And hilariously, there's a line that says salt to taste. As if any amount of salt could redeem that dish. Salt to taste.

To taste. Yeah, just improve it. But there we are. That's Bennett Rears, who I hope is not died of Rear now. Bennett Rears' shocking recipes from the tables of past US presidents. That's an article from this year as well. I feel a bit unwell after that. But thank you very much.

It's like being an audience member during. an episode of main menu rather than being the person making the bad food. I don't want to make any of these or try any of them. Cursed, truly. Yeah. Lovely. Thanks, Ben. Mikey, it's your turn to give us your listeners submitted thing.

That's the boy. Let's have a pallet cleanser back to bird news, it seems, this time not stuck in a shop, although close, actually. This was submitted by Michael Buzzo, I think, at Mikey Buzzo on Twitter. And this is a story from the Times Live of South Africa. And the headline reads, Man walks into bank with live barnow as a deposit. Oh, you're not supposed to do that.

You're not supposed to do that. And the subtitle reads, he first tried to sell the bird at a nearby multi-shop, whatever a multi-shop is, I assume like a pawnbroker. Yeah, maybe. Here's a picture of the owl and the bank, but neither these men are the men in question who tried to send this owl to a bank to get money for it

because that's not how banks work. Anyway, the article begins. Customers and staff at an ABSER branch in Gauteng were dumbstruck when a customer tried to open a bank account using a live barn owl as a deposit. Hmm, good. The unlucky predator's look changed when the man was told the bank

could only accept legal tender. And his, sorry, mate, what's the conversion rate of an owl to currency? Have you seen the price of owls? I felt like, put him in a safe deposit box. He'd be all right, a couple of years. His feathered friend was quickly whist to safety after intervention by the owl rescue center.

And the bank says, as a trusted banking partner servicing customers from all walks of life over many years, we are committed to supporting our customers even when it comes to unusual life situations because every story matters, seven spokesperson.

But I think we actually help. We help everyone, even if you come to us with an owl, we'll figure something out. We can confirm a customer approached our western area branch on April 24th, wanting to open a bank account and offering a live owl as a deposit. Given that we are a financial institution and we only deal in legal tenders deposits, we are unable to assist the customer and cannot comment on the customer's

rationale for his approach. That's a good way of handling it. Our branch colleagues enlisted the assistance of the owl rescue center and saved the life of a beautiful owl because owl stories matter to the spokesperson said yes they yes he first went to a multi shop close to the bank but the owner said they don't buy live animals and from there he decided the next best course of action was the bank uh there seemed to be a lot of people who believe it is okay to catch wild animals and sell them to businesses we were called by uh we were uh the owl rescue said this we were called a while back by a pawn shop in hilbra when i arrived there was an Owls sitting at the entrance in a gilded cage from the 1980s.

So sadly, those owls you've been stocking over the years, hope they come up in value. Useless, not worth anything you can't take to the bank. Terrible. And that's where the story ends. God knows what the man was thinking. Do we have an update? Oh, is there an update?

The owl has taken over the bank. Yes. Well, I was going to say, it's just as well they kept hold of the owl, because if it had got loose, it would have been, Owl stuck in bank in, where was it? South Africa. South Africa. Owl stuck in South African bank has been there for six days.

Seems distressed. Birds getting trapped everywhere. This is nearly one of those stories, but thankfully the owl did escape. And I'm sure he's off living his best life in a sanctuary now with other owls who are tried to be used as a conversion thing. How much would you pay for an owl? I don't know, I mean, it's all fun in games until you realize, hang on, you have to look after this animal, it's going to cost you more. Yeah, but put all the boring stuff to one side, right?

If someone said, opportunity of a lifetime, ethics free, consequence free, would you like an owl? How much would you pay for the owl? I'd quite like an owl, ethics free, maybe. I think an owl is worth maybe, maybe like, a hundred pounds uh-huh okay what do you think Mikey how much would you pay for an hour

I'd pay upwards of 250 pounds depending on the on the aisle you know I mean I'm sure that I'm far more than that but you know I wouldn't I wouldn't want to pay too much for my owl

how much are owls I think there's there's a guy in the Pokemon centre just outside of the entrance to cerulean cave no not cerulean cave what an idiot

Mount Moon is what I'm talking about he sells a magic carp in there and I think he sells it for maybe 150 pokey bucks I can't remember the specific number but if a magic carp is worth that much then I'm willing to pay

at least that much for an owl What's pokey bucks to great book of pound sterling is a great question I'll tell you what I'll find out I'll find out now Oh, pokey dollar to sterling.

Someone has to have done this. One pokey coin equals, or is a pokey coin something else? Is this like buying them on Pokemon Go maybe or something like that? A pokey coin, yeah, is the in-app currency used in Pokemon Go? But if we just use that as an example. Yeah. One pokey coin is equal to. 0.0.0.6 pound sterling when rounded up.

Right. So an owl is worth not very much, like two quids. Not a great deal at all. Yeah, it's the steel of the century. You should buy that owl. Yeah. You really should buy that owl. I found a website called bird trader.com.com. Of course. God. There's quite a good stock of owls. Big owls, small owls, baby owls, frozen chicks for it to feed your owls. It looks like between $200,500

seems to be the going rate. Okay. So that's pretty reasonable for an owl. I thought in the actual trade, they'd be charging it upwards of like 750 quid for an owl. You say this guy should have gone on bird trader then, shouldn't he?

Not gone to the bank. Yeah, easy money. Come on. Birds are plenty. Oh my God. Just notice, isn't that owl picture? The photo of the guy holding the owl?

Oh, wait, no. I was looking at the very small preview image. I thought there was a woman behind him taking a selfie, not a photo of the owl. That giant woman in the background. Yeah, that huge woman. I've just clicked on the image as I was speaking. I was like, that's a picture on the wall of a woman, of two women, I think.

Oh, God. Thank you. Sorry, I forgot we started with my news story. There we go. That's my new story. And also you update on the price of owls currently in the UK. Good to know. Good to know.

We'll let you know how the price changes. stonks stonks thank you very much mike um it's time for my thing now uh ben you're already aware of this uh maybe you are too mikey but on um saturday saturday me and some people from the triple jump offices went to see star wars episode one the phantom menace for an anniversary screening in the cinema and uh as i was watching and hearing the introductions of various pod races I thought, hey, why don't we do a little quiz and you can decide whether a certain name is a pod racer or not racer, I guess, is the closest thing I've got.

What I've done, actually, you may remember some weeks ago, some episodes ago, I brought along some strange names from Quakers in the, I can't remember what period of history. but someone was doing a study of Quakers and they'd been like collating all these names including um um uh wild wild and wonderful warrick and you know you remember these perciful trowl etc so yes what i've done is i brought along some names from that list i think none of them were actually read in that episode but if they were then hey you get an advantage and maybe you'll remember them. Um, so you've basically got to guess whether it's a Star Wars pod racer or a

Quaker from a period of history that I can't remember. Okay. All right. So, um, let's begin with furly loose belt. Oh. Is it like fairly or furly? F-U-R-L-Y. L-O-O-O-S-V-E-L-T. I'm going to go with Quaker I want to say Pod Racer That's a Quaker Well All right How about Genix dry

J-E-N-N-I-X And then just the word dry God This could be either I don't think the letter X existed Until like a hundred years ago in names at least so I feel like that has to be a pod racer

Ben what do you think I'm going to go curveball and say that that's a Quaker it's a Quaker oh my god good as me how about Aldar Bido that's that sounds pod racery to me

I'm gonna I'm gonna everything that sounded pod racer to me hasn't been so I'm gonna say Quaker for this one Oh, it's a pod racer, Mikey. Oh. All right. How about Clegg Holdfast? Oh, God.

Quaker. Pod racer. Please be a pod racer. It's a pod racer. Yes, Clegg. We love Clegg. This is what Clegg Holdfast looks like. He's great.

Look at him. Oh, he is great. Where's his mouth? I don't know. E. B-E-E-E-N-D-O-C-O-C-O-T-T, E-E-E-N-A-N-A-K-O-T-T. Quaker. Yeah, Corka, not more, but Quaker as hell, that one. You think that's a Quaker?

That's actually a pod racer. No. Jesus Christ. All right, how about Thos-Eld-D-D-H-O-S-Thos and then space? E-L-D-D, and then a space. D-O-Y-S-D-E-S-L-D-Y-S. Foss-L-D-Y-S.

Hmm. I'm going to go with podcaster. I'm I'm going to say Quaker for this one. That is a Quaker. Yes. Wow. Thoughts.

It's funny you say podcast to Ben. Originally the intention was to do pod racer or podcaster, but I couldn't find a good enough list of weird sounding actual people who do podcasts. That's fair enough. So I struggled. Hey, what about Mars Guo? M-A-R-S like the planet and then G-U-O. Is it Mars?

Because it's from space? because it's Star Wars, or is it Mars because it's a human being from the real world where we have Mars? Oh, beans. I'm going to go with podcaster again. I'm sticking with Quaker for this one.

It's a pod racer. It's a podcaster. Oh, my God. Fricky. There he is. Old Craven. Old Craven. Old Craven. I throw that milk out. Cows want it back.

That's a, that's a Quaker. I want to say Pod. That's Pod, surely. It's Quaker. What? Was he born with the name Old? It's O-O-U-L-D. Old.

Old. Old. Maybe it's old. Maybe I misled you there. but there is actually someone who was literally called Old Adams in the Quakerlitz and that's just the word old Okay, I'll do two more for you

In fact, I'll read them both to you And I'll tell you that one is one and one is the other And you can make up your mind So, Arrhus, A-R-K-R-O-O-S-E Arque-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R- Trifona wassy, T-R-Y-P-H-O-N-A-W-A-W-A-S-E-Y. Trifona-W-S-E-Y and Ark Russe.

Oh, man. I'm going to say Ark Russe is the Pod Racer. Mm-hmm. Hmm. I'm going to say that one is the, is the, is the, as, the quaker name because let's not let's not all put the same answers for the last question let's make it this spicy okay for all the marbles for all the marbles the podcaster

is arc ruse uh oh and trifona wasi is a real human person a real human and not an alien not an alien uh arc ruse apparently goes by the name arc bumpy ruse sometimes bumpy ruse Bumpy Roos. Wow, look at the state of that thing. Yeah, what is that? I don't remember seeing that at all in the film. The two images you've sent of the two podcasts are there.

Both of them looked like they were generated by AI with a weird crumb. They're sort of strangely smoothed out. I don't know. Very odd. Hey, it even tells you, like, where they finished in the race. Apparently, Ebe Endicott finished fourth. An Ark Roos crashed in the third lap. Did he die?

I can tell you because I'm on Wikipedia He died When Oh no He must have lived Because there's a section For the Boon to Eve race

And then it says Later years By coincidence He was present on the same transport That carried Obi-Wan Kenobi And the infant Luke Skywalker To Tatouine Apparently

There you go Oh Glad he got to live out the rest of his years In relative peace All art bumpy Ruth Yeah happy Thank you very much, Peter. You're welcome.
