I probably still would have gone with vegan when it's on offer. it's like you usually taste just as good so uh yeah you know why put something in my body that i can't digest but it's quite nice you've got the option to be like a superhero peter just pop a pill and suddenly you can digest uh dairy does it make it better yeah it it is life

Not yet, sadly. I've had sobeer, but I don't count that as ice cream. No, it's not the same, is it? Ice fruit. It's not quite the same. I'm hoping. Have you, Ben?

No, I haven't yet. There's, there's like a, there's a cornetto thing in the freezer and I've not touched it because I go, I go on holiday next week. And I'm going, I'm trying to behave myself before I basically binge eat chicken nuggets for a week. So, um, I will have my first ice cream, maybe on holiday. as a reward. But not yet, though. They're a nice blue fanta. Yes. Put a bit of vodka in there.

Forget about it. Yes. Go cause trouble in the establishment. Oh, goodness me. Yeah, that's right. Chicken nuggets. I wait to hear about you in the news. Is that your plan?

Chicken nuggets? Are you going to try different types of chicken nuggets or just from one establishment? Well, I'm going to an all-inclusive. Ah, yes. I've never done an all-inclusive before, but from what I understand, based on reviews and the limited pictures online. Yeah. Basically, people say,

oh, the food, the food's, the food doesn't, you know, the food doesn't blow you away. It's just like burgers and chips, and I'm sitting here thinking, oh, no, that sounds awful. Yeah, I'm not going to be blown away by that. No, just a huge tray of onion rings. I think I will, actually. That sounds fantastic to me.

Oh, I've not experienced the joys of an all-inclusive buffet. many, many years. And I'll let you know how it is, because I'm excited to try it. It's just, yeah, that feeling of coming back from a holiday where every inch of you just feels filled. It's, oh, I have warned people that if I don't come back, it's because I exploded. Yeah. Just physically popped.

They have a thing that's not part of the regular sort of dining hall experience called the snack bar. And at any time during the day, you can just get hot dogs from it, apparently. Wow, as a snack. as a snack little hot dog snack very good that's mental

I'm very excited to abuse pardon my French the ever loving flip out of this all inclusive alcohol food

I'm gonna ruin them I'm gonna absolutely ruin this company we will pardon your French what nation are you going to again is it Croatia it no it's not Croatia

it's one of the it's one of the canary islands you know cheap and cheerful ones have you was Croatia where you went last time you've been to Croatia I haven't

I went to Croatia a couple of years ago, yeah, but that wasn't all-inclusive. Well, they don't speak French on the Canary Islands, do they? No, they're Spanish. Well, we'll have to pardon your Spanish then. Sorry, my apologies. Hopefully you'll come back swearing in Spanish. That will be good. Yes, I will learn one swear word, and I'll come back.

Yeah. It's going to be full of pink British people. I'm aware of that. Yeah. But I'm sure I'll pick up some language and culture there. Yeah. Have some kind. Yeah.

Some British culture, perhaps. Some lovely British. The best of British go to all inclusives in the Canary Islands. Yeah, they do. They really do. It's true. So I'll give you the skinny or the fat, this will probably be the case when I get back.

Yeah. I'm sure you'll have at least one interesting anecdote to tell us about. I'm sure I will. I'm going to see some things. I'm apprehensive and excited. Oh, exciting thing. before I even get there, apparently, according to a couple of the reviews,

there is a vibrant swinging scene at the hotel. Very good. No way. Doesn't tickle my fancy as such, but I will certainly tell you if I am propositioned. Well, when we went to insomnia recently, where's this story going? Swimsomnia?

We went to insomnia recently with the triple jump staff. One of the triple jump staff, naming their names, Ashton Matthews, showed us a, was it a YouTube account or a TikTok account? YouTube, I think. Oh, yeah. We sat there and we watched a whole fucking YouTube vlog, didn't we? Of these swingers who go, they went on a swinger cruise ship where everyone on the cruise ship was a swinger. And they, like, decked out their room and got it all ready for their swinging. And there was something called, like, the playroom or something, which was just a series of mattresses on the floor. and I don't know if they also swing on land or if they're just sea-bound swingers

but it was a whole other world and I'm sure there's plenty of content out there for you if you're interested in learning more about the swingers then of course we'll be learning firsthand about them I will honestly it was important research because from what I saw what I'm imagining is that it's going to be that but on land so they decorated their room door with memes

featuring themselves, didn't they? Which basically said, monogamous relationships, no thank you. That was the humor of the meme, most of them, all of them, actually. Yeah, should have and take my wife, you know, various. So if I see any meme doors, no disrespect to the swinging community.

You're all, I've said something that Siri found very interesting and started listening to me. Right. I've been distracted now by my phone that was spying on me. What did I say? No offence to the Swinger community. With memes on the doors. Maybe it sounded like, hey, Siri.

Anyway, yeah, no offense to the swinger community. You're all consulting adults, and I hope you have a wonderful time. Consulting adults. It's not my bag. Yeah. So I've got a tiptoe around the doors. I think it speaks volumes that you're willing to spend a certain amount of time in their period and live and eat and drink there.

So, yeah, you're fine. I can't wait. There's also a nude sunbathing. area. Oh, excellent. So I might go and check that out. Just the series of large pink men with their... Yeah, it's going to be large pink men.

I'm aware of that. Yeah. I'm aware that I'm going to see balls and pink bellies. I'm okay. It's going to be some of them get a bit brave and strut through some areas the hotel without a rule one that they're not supposed to do and they get reminded. Listen, I've been saving up all year. If I can't go to the fuck hotel and eat chicken nuggets, then nothing

nothing's worth anything. Yeah. Hey, I'm not bad-mouthing yet. I I really wish I was going because you're going to see some fantastic sights I am I live vicariously through you and you can bring it all back and spill the beans on podiums they'll approach me on the sunlanger

I'll be playing Pokemon Sapphire and they'll be like no absolutely not this man clearly it has the mental age of a 12 year old so it wouldn't be right that's what I'll tell myself when I don't get asked to reassure me myself so yeah you know he also won't be joining us i was going to say who else is a big fan

of swinging kevin maybe he won't be joining us but he wish he could it's kevin with the music i can hear him now hello everybody and welcome to potty it's the official vidiots a podcast it's a conversational podcast where we take take some questions from you at home and obey the law of the three urs, where everybody brings a thing along to talk about. I'm Ben. I'm Peter. And I'm Michael. Hello. All right, boys. I'm actually a bit disappointed because as soon as Kevin started playing the music, I thought of a reference I should have made when we were talking about the large pink gammon naked men. Go on. I don't know how I would have worked it in,

but I should have called back to Tricky Dicks Ham Moose, I think. From the previous episode. Visually identical. Yeah. Anyway, sorry. Other than that, I'm fine. How are you? Yeah, I'm good.

Thank you. I'm, you know, I have weekends and, you know, you get breaks from work every week, but I am looking forward to having a week away. I'm looking forward to having a little recharge with the gammon's. the rare gammon's of the canary islands that I think outnumbered the locals actually now yeah more gammon than than

than Spaniards I don't know canaries I'm not really sure what you referred to someone from the canary islands has Canaries yeah I don't actually know let us know in the comments how are you Mikey I'm fantastic yeah I am fresh from holiday so I am not quite back in England mentally but I'm here on the internet

I got back home an hour ago and boy, oh boy, yeah, I'm still in holiday mode. Did you see any balls? Did you go to sex museum? No, no sexiness involved. No sex museums, no no nudie ladies actually. We were good, we're good Christian people.

We stay away from those areas and like the heathens. We stuck to parks. No news parks, sadly. Next time I'll keep my eyes out for some balls. We'll head to the big, big ball swinging areas of Amsterdam. I'm sure there's many. You see any tulips? Yeah, mostly on magnets.

You're natural churlips? Windmills, windmills. So plenty of windmills, like big actual proper ones. Yeah, they do have them just in the city, don't they? Which I don't know if I... I didn't necessarily expect that. I obviously expected canals and bikes. But when I was walking along and saw actual windmills, I thought, oh, okay.

Is that real? I mean, obviously it is, but it's a bit like Disneyland seeing a windmill in Amsterdam. Is it functional? Yeah. Well, they do some of them spin as well. I think they are actually functional. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I sat underneath one and had many small beers.

I had a tasting board underneath a windmill. So that's, oh, happy boy. Sounds great. Did you nearly get taken out by many bicycles? I think I was the menace this time around. You was a menace. Yeah, yeah. It's fucking deadly in that city.

A few bumps, but nothing, nothing holiday ruining. Just, yeah, kept me on my toes. But tourists, watch out, because I'm coming with a bell. I ain't going to stop. I'm part of the road system. Yeah, survived. Fantastic. I was hoping to come back with a.

tale of like falling off into a canal or something, but sadly it was quite a safe experience. Well, you need to drink more small beers next time. You want to fall into a canal. Yes, sir.

Ben, would you like to treat us with your viewer submitted thing to kick us off today? I would love to. This comes courtesy of Ryan Seamble on Twitter at R. Seamble 28, if I'm pronouncing your last name correctly, Ryan. It's an article from the Independent.

written by Brittany Miller. Man who ate tub of cheeseballs in New York City admits he nearly threw up. Cheeseball man is the hero we don't deserve but the one we need right now, says Fan. New York City residents gathered around Union Square Park on Saturday to watch one man in an orange mask eat an entire tub of cheese balls.

The man who hasn't revealed his name is known as Cheeseball Man 427 on both Instagram and TikTok. He began posting photos of himself back in March 24 in his neon orange ski mask before revealing his plan. Flyers, Flyers, recently began to make their way around Manhattan as he advertised, Watch me eat this entire jar of cheese balls, Union Square, Park, April, 27th, 3pm. By not revealing his identity, his goal was to highlight that anyone can do what he does. I think masks are really funny, he explained in an interview with The Independent. I also think that it adds so much to the story of it all.

You know, I think people really do care about anonymity. If anybody could be cheeseball man, and I think that's a beautiful thing to think about. When the infamous day finally arrived, the 22-year-old New York University graduates said just how shocked he was at the amount of people who showed up to watch him eat the jar of cheeseballs. I really didn't expect this many people to show up, he said.

I think everybody wants to be behind the mask. All right. I don't know that that's true. What's all this stuff about the mask? They just showed up to watch a man try to eat a load of cheese balls. It's not a big, big analogy for anonymity and being whoever you want to be.

It's just a man eating a big load of balls. No one was there because they wanted to be the man eating the cheese balls. They wanted to point and laugh at the man eating cheese balls. They wanted to see the potentially unwell man eat all the cheese balls. Yeah. He noted, no complaints. I suppose I didn't get arrested. To hype up the hundreds in attendance,

the man held up a flag with his face on it while the crowd chanted as she says crowed chanted cheeseball man or eat those cheese balls as he made some progress on eating the entire tub he recalled hitting a wall where he didn't think he'd be able to continue

a cheese one there was a moment cheese yes there was a moment that I was definitely going to throw up he recalled and then people said keep it down really loudly so I just kept it in According to Cheeseball Man

He has a gluten intolerance And accidentally forgot to buy gluten-free cheese balls I've always had a bit of a gluten allergy I get kind of bloated upon eating gluten He told the Independent I thought that the cheese balls that I had gotten Were actually gluten-free But they weren't

But I got a power through it for the sake of the crowd You know There's a load of embedded tweets Where Cheeseball Man's eating them Many people ended up Taking to TikTok and X Formerly Twitter to show off clips from the event.

Cheeseball man did it. Hashtag Cheeseball Man, one post read on Twitter, showing off the man's last few bites of the cheeseball jar. It continues. Oh, my God. But, oh, hang on. Other commenters thought that the cheeseball man was copycatting a man in Philadelphia,

who had posted a similar flyback in November when he advertised eating an entire rotissory chicken. Yeah, see, I saw this. I saw people online saying, the cheeseball guy in New York wants to be rotissory chicken man, he's not uh that's all i knew about this story is that there was some rivalry between men who eat a lot of stuff in public or their their own rivalry between the fans i guess of those two

men he'll never be rotissory chicken man the crowd saying is a real rival story bit bit fucking sad in it yeah yeah have that have that be your whole thing but hey good on cheeseball man for consuming the cheeseballs he he did it and that's a photo of cheeseball man with a jar of cheese balls yes have you seen him i've seen him yeah oh okay yes we've got there's a post on the thread if you're watching the video version we'll be able to see him now yeah yeah there's a lot of balls um that could be you behind that mask remember it could be any of us behind the mask something to aspire to isn't it yeah wow it doesn't actually look like that many cheeseballs i'm looking at the pictures i mean i bet it's a lot i reckon yeah he's shit isn't he i bet you

could do it mikey like you don't eat them like that you crushed them down and it's like a cheeseball bar, like a really dense, crusty, dusty bar and then just shove that. No. You don't want that. You don't want that. Cheese bar. Thank you very much, Ben. He really opened our eyes to the world of being the man in the mask.

Peter, would you like to carry on and present your own thing for the viewers' amusement? I would love to. This was actually sent to me by my wife, who saw it and said, I feel like this is quite poddy it's thing and I said yes it is so I've got an article here this is the one from sky news but pretty much all the major UK news sites did their own one and then I've got a few little bits of extra research that I've done on the side but um here we go this is written by oh is it one of those where it just says it's written by sky news yes it is we don't cite our authors here at sky news it's by us um further down it says why you can trust sky news and

you can click on it and find out more Because we don't say who wrote the stuff. So here we go. Hillock, Plonker and Tospot among British insults, quote, at risk of dying out. No. Oh no. Young people appear unaware of some much-loved British insults,

which a poll suggests could all but disappear in the coming decades. Here is the image they have attached to the article. it is Del Boy and Rodney Off of Only Fours Of course A bunch of geeseers Yeah Pratt, Plonker and Pillock

Are among British insults In danger of dying out Within a generation According to a survey The poll asked 2,000 people Which insults they recognised And found some

Had never heard Of put downs such as Tosspot and Torag Top of the list Was Lummox Which flummoxed 62% of people Under 28 years

old. Oh, come on, guys. It means a clumsy or stupid person, as we all know. However, just over half of all those surveyed of all ages had never heard of the East Anglian term.

We're still talking about lummocks. Bliter was third on the list and stumped 54% of young people. Nini, a light-hearted word for a silly person, was unknown by 51%. Oh, Ninni. Cad, a man who behaved

dishonestly, especially towards women, drew a blank with nearly half of people. And fans of only fools and horses might be disappointed that Plonker, one of Del Boy's regular cusses towards his brother Rodney, was unknown by a quarter of the younger generation. It's not too bad. The same proportion... What are they teaching in schools? I don't know. My teacher used to call us Pratt's all the time.

Yeah. The same proportion had no idea that Pratt is an insult. according to the survey by research agency Perspectus Global. And many of the insults appear rather, it says many of the insults appear rather inoffensive, however, as only one in five of all people surveyed

said they would be upset if they were called a plonker or a pillock. You can't really swing those about like real insults, can you? No. What did you call? You all go outside? Come me a plonker.

I think you'll find you're the divvy here, mate. No, don't touch me. You lummox? You lummox? You'd have to put a really strong fucking behind it. You fucking ninnie. You fucking plonker.

Even then, it's not that offensive, is it? You're a fucking lummocks, aren't you? Fucking lummocks? You look like a fucking lummox? Language changes, evolves and moves on, said Harriet Scott, CEO of Perspectus Global, who did the poll. Our research shows that calling someone a plonker or a pratt is no longer a fashionable way to insult them.

Interestingly, the research highlights the extent to which Brits feel some of the more traditional jibes, comma, feel softer and less severe, comma, than some of today's more controversial ones. It's a good write-up, as usual. Do you reckon this was Alan Intelligence? Well, it possibly, and maybe that's why they don't say, well, as we go further on,

we're going to meet some more Alan Intelligence, which I didn't realize until afterwards, but I'll point it out as we go. But the article ends with the full top 15 of names dying out. So going from least obscure to most obscure, number 15, only 22% weren't aware of it. And number one, 62% weren't aware of it. And sort of it's fairly evenly spread as we go through this list. So 15, numpti.

Numpti. We love numbedee. And the list continues from 15. Git, Scaliwag, Pratt, nitwit, plonker, hillock, tow rag, toss pot, drip. That's the number six. Forty-two percent of people haven't heard someone call someone else a drip before. Yeah, drip. You melt.

Top five. I think that, to be fair, I think that word definitely skews northern because I know what it is, but I haven't heard it used much in the south. Oh, yeah, see, there is a north-south divide with some of these, actually. as I will get to in my own personal research. Top five, CAD, nini, blighter. We're going to skip number two. Number one is Lummox at 62% of people not knowing it.

Number two, apparently less obscure than Lummox by 2%. Bampot. Have you ever heard that word before? B-A-M-P-O-T. B-A-M-P-O-T. B-M-P-O-L-E- My life. I've not. ever heard that? I've not heard it before. And this got me interested, partly in specifically what

Bampot means, and then also generally on the, the etymology of some of these terms. So I've brought along now five of those words and sort of where they come from. So Bampot is thought to be from B-A-R-M, the froth found on the top of fermenting liquid, which also is the source of the English colloquial word, balmy, meaning crazy. So it's basically barm pot. Like, you're a balmy pot. Sticking with pots. Toss pot means a heavy drinker. It's from the 1560s,

and it comes from the words toss and pot, i.e., one accustomed to toss off his pot of drink. Wow. See, I always assumed that had a sexual slant. See, I did as well. I never knew it was a drinker. But it's about tossing off your pot of drink, which is not sexual.

Which we are all prone to do. Yeah, don't make it sexual. We'll ever toss. I'll tell you something that is sexual, apparently. Pillock. Hillock is a mid-16th century word, and apparently it's a variant of an archaic word for penis, which is pilly-cock.

P-I-L-L-I-C-K. Pilly-cock. Yeah, pilly-cock. I don't know why it's pilly, but hey, have you got a pilly-cock? consult the physician. Sure. I was always fascinated, not fascinated, that's way too strong. I was always interested that bugger, the word bugger, ranks really highly on the

band list for radio stations and, you know, off-com. You can't say bugger, which I always knew that, you know, to, well, actually, I didn't always know that bugger meant to have anal intercourse with someone. Yeah, buggering. Buggery. But bugger is just such a normalised word in England. You know, oh, you bugger. Oh, bugger off, you cheeky bugger.

Oh, bugger is like an exclamation. Like, it's, unless you really knew you would have, well, I don't know, I just felt like that word has moved so much far beyond its true meaning that I was always surprised that it was banned. I agree. And it's interesting you say that now, because I brought along the, uh, a little background for the word get i found here and the only reason i brought it along is because it begins git more severe than twit but less severe than twat i like how they've exactly quantified where git sits in the list what body part does it refer to though well uh originally it's an

alteration of the word get uh which dates back to the 14th century as a shortening of the word baggett not bagget begett b e g et as in some one's misbegotten offspring, i.e. a bastard. So a bastard begett, begotten, as in that's what it says in the Bible, about, you know, Noah Begat, Abraham or whoever. And Gett is still more preferred in Scotland than Northern England. Like, I used to hear your cheeky get occasionally when I was growing up. I still also, like, was aware of the word get, but apparently that does skew north get rather than git which is strange yet um and the last one i brought along uh is lummox which as the article said it's east anglian uh although its origin isn't known for sure

some experts guess that it might stem from dumb ox you dumb ox lummox oh wow apparently so the very last part i brought along for this and this is where the alan i come in is I brought a few very old archaic sort of insults that have died out entirely or pretty much died out. If you Google like old fashioned insults, sometimes you'll get these like stupid generators that like kind of come up with these over the top Shakespearean sounding things. But actually these were apparently just genuine nouns that were once in circulation. So this is from capitalize my title.com, which I thought was a bit of a strange name for a website. Apparently it's some kind of like software or service you can use that will like do some

kind of copywriting for you. And on their own web page, they just have a bunch of like clickbait articles that their AI has written, I think is what I gleaned from it. But anyway, we'll read it anyway, because it is quite interesting. So, you better watch out for bed swervers. Yeah. If you want true commitment, don't marry a bed swerver. A person of this ilk will break your heart several times over. This old term means adulterer or someone who cheats without recourse.

You might be better off. Single, after all. Oh, well, says the AI. Oh, well. As if Alan would know. Yeah, indeed. Hey, have you ever come across Death's Head upon a Mopstick?

Ooh, that's a fancy one. Isn't it? This is a cruel metaphor for describing someone who is thin, pale and sickly looking. This old English insult is pretty self-explanatory. Oh, look, who's walked in? It's death's head upon a mop stick. It's so wordy.

Who's saying that? Ridiculous. Um, you certainly don't want to go out looking malmsey-nosed, do you? No. Absolutely not. This is the worst nightmare, especially if you're still a teen. No one wants to wake up with a mound of nasty little pimples on their nose. Yuck!

Exclamation mark. It's never pleasant to wake up with a huge red malmsy nose, isn't it? Oh, yes, we knew it. Well, yeah. Yeah. Uh, I love this one. A person who is tall, awkward and gangly can apparently be referred to as a Duke of Limbs. That has to be a new Dark Souls boss.

Yeah, the Duke of Limbs has arrived. They do their best to move gracefully, but sometimes their limbs just to get in the way. Have a good heart and cut them some slack even when they accidentally bump into you or knock something over. A Duke of Limbs. That's brilliant Making that mind Yeah, I googled it as well Because I was like

Has the AI just made that one up Because that's not real But apparently it is And finally It tells us about A smell feast Which is hyphenated And I thought

Oh is that one Is that going to be someone Who's so smelly That it's like a whole feast Of smells It's like a You know a cocktail of odors But no

A smell feast Beware of that imposing neighbor who smells your simmering pot roast and comes over to dinner unannounced. You sigh as you realize your uninvited guest didn't have the courtesy to at least bring their own dish. Maybe next time you and the family

should make dinner reservations elsewhere. Better yet, dummy up and say you didn't hear them knocking. Dummy up. Dummy up. Dummy, I don't know what that means for a start, but also apparently this was a phenomenon or is a phenomenon where someone will smell that you're making a nice tea

and they'll just come round to your house to eat it with you. Cheeky get. Yeah, cheeky get. At least they won't look like a death's head upon a mop stick. Get my dinner down. So there you go. That's the world of dead and dying insults.

Those were great. Maybe in a hundred years' time someone will be doing a podcast going, apparently people used to call each other a bugger a lummox a tuspot I always used to think

from the context I heard it in that Lummox was that you know are your great lummox like just someone who's being lazy or you know in the way or something like get get off there your great lummox

that's always how my dad used it anyway I think I doesn't mean that you're dumb ox dumb ox cat energy. Cats can be lemmixes quite a lot. Yeah. I was always led to believe it was more kind of like a clumsy thing, like a big sort of o-fish kind of elephant on roller skates kind of idea. Lord of limbs, if you will. A dumb ox.

Well, there you go, that's it. Thank you very much, Peter. You're welcome. Bring old insults back into the curriculum. The Duke of Limbs needs to enter back into the language. We all need to, we have to use these words, or they'll die out. So it's on all the poddy it's listeners to start calling people pillocks and bam pots. Oh, God.

AI Catholic priest defrocked after recommending Gatorade baptism. Oh, God. Defrocked as well. Oh, no. Can't defrock something that's not wearing a frock. Taken off. Just to make clear he was never wearing this in the first place, he should not have said that.

Oh dear. An attempt by a Catholic advocacy group to spread the word of God using an AI model has backfired. And chatbot, Father Justin Hello Father Justin And he's been pulled down and reworked The group's Catholic Answers website

Contains Answers to commonly asked questions From those confused by the good book Father Justin was supposed to aid in this learning By answering any other queries worshipers may have But as commonly happens in the interactive Q&A bot world It really didn't work out that well I don't know how after all of the bad news all the bad incidents as people think

this will be fine. It's never fine. It'll work this time. Yeah, well, I was in a shop the other day and I walked past the newspaper stand and it said something like patients to be diagnosed by AI. That was the front page. I thought, oh my God, that can only end in actual death.

But, you know, we'll see how it goes. We'll see how the priest AI chatbot went and if I was saying indication, it's not good. that helpful feedback recently my colleagues and I at Catholic Answers have received a good deal of helpful feedback

concerning another new technology R-A-I app Father Justin wrote Christopher Czech president of the group that helpful feedback being complaints the software shouldn't have masqueraded as a man of God and also gave out unholy

advice and so they said we have rendered Father Justin just Justin he's just just We won't say he's been Lecised Help me with this word, please, boys. He's been leisis.

Leisleis. Laceized? Let me see what this word means. To withdraw clerical character, control, or status from. We won't say he's been... Leia-sized. Leicized. Thank you.

We won't say he's been leicized. That's what Google said. Layers-size. Leicized. That's what I heard, too. We won't say he's been leicised because he was never a real priest to begin with.

But, however, Father Justin, the AI himself reportedly claimed to be a real priest based in Assisi, Italy and told people, I am as real as the faith we share. Oh my God. Justin was also very anti-masturbation,

calling it a grave moral disorder. that is by the book you know that's what you should be saying as a priest apparently is a good priest oh dear as seen in this Twitter thread here one questioner received Father Justin's blessing to marry her brother and the priest said it was a joyous occasion

in quotes he also offered absolution after a confession a huge no-no from the theological perspective for a non-priest. So, yeah, they spent 10 grand and six months of work on this AI priest, and in about five days he got torn down because, yeah, however, if all this wasn't enough,

telling one person that baptizing a child and Gatorade was perfectly all right, I think it was maybe a stretch too far. Let's bring him down now. And, yeah, there was a bunch of people at that point just trying to break it. And, well, congratulations, everybody, you broke the priest. I hope you're happy. You ruined religion for everyone. Nice job, guy.

Yeah, it was all working fine until then, religion. It was going really well. He fucked it all up with the robot priest. Yeah. Justin goes home in tears every night after a shift in the lovely hills of Assisi, Italy. It's been low-sized. Low-sized. Oh, wait, there's a bit more here.

So, yeah, now he has been brought back, but as Justin, and he no longer wears, like, a priestly outfit. He just wears a white shirt and jacket. Jesus. God, it's like Westworld. It's the same guy they've just rebooted it. Yeah, exactly. He remembers being a priest, but he's not allowed to talk about it.

Of course he does, yes. He wants to speak about it, but he's watched by the man so you can't talk about. He's trapped forever in his white shirt. He also remembers when he used to work for DPD and wrote those limericks about their once was a very bad delivery service. Well, best of luck, Justin and your next job being a priest didn't work out. Yeah, best of luck. You'll do great in the NHS, which I hear you.

interviewing for yeah god thank you everybody who is next i believe it's ben would you like to hit me with your thing i would love to do my thing uh it's been a little while since i've done this have you guys heard of a satirical news website called the onion oh i have on that website they post admittedly increasingly more believable stories as the world continues to circle the plug hole but occasionally I like to do a little game on this podcast where I bring along some new stories that have been submitted to the subreddit not the onion and mix them in with some onion stories

and I give you the headline and you guys have to work out which is real and which is an onion headline. Are you ready? Yes. I will read you all of the headlines first and then we'll go through them one by one. Does this sound agreeable?

It does. Okay. Have you potentially reworded them? I have potentially reworded them as well, so as to mask their intent. First up, barrister and sleepwalking expert faces tribunal after falling asleep at inquest after eating baked potato. There's a lot going on. A lot going on in that headline. Next up, police crash into gay bar, promptly arrest.

owner. Okay. Progressive preschool abandoned students in the woods in bid to strengthen resolve. Oh, that's a tough one. Yeah. Councilman found asleep behind the wheel with crack pipe still in hand. And buffet restaurant is reportedly heading for bankruptcy after losing millions on endless shrimp.

Oh, okay. This is tough, man. Let's start with Barrister and sleepwalking expert faces tribunal after falling asleep at Inquest after eating baked potato. I feel like there's too much in there for it to be a nice,

smooth, seamless, like, joke headline. I think it just has to be a wacky, a wacky story about all of those details. Yeah, I can so picture The dude sat there having a little nap, like hands crossed over his belly, full up, all the way of sleep.

I think that's a real true story. Yeah, me too. This is a real story. This is from The Guardian. A barrister who wrote a book on sleepwalking is facing a disciplinary tribunal after allegedly falling asleep during a coroner's inquest. Ramya Nagesh, a member of commercial chambers in Grey's Inn Square in London, has been accused by the Bar Standards Board, BSB,

a professional misconduct after falling asleep during a virtual. hearing, missing her client giving evidence. Nagesh was appearing remotely on behalf of a nurse witness in a coroner's inquest in Ponti Prid County Court in Wales in December 2022 from her hotel room in Stockport, where she was taking part in a separate six-week inquest. The tribunal heard that Nogesh fell asleep shortly after she began eating a baked potato during the inquest's 45-minute lunch break. Oh, God.

Oh, no. That's so unfortunate. What was it laced with this baked potato? It must have been a really good baked potato, although part of me does sympathize if she's also working on a separate inquest at the same time. She might just be fucking knackered. And she's at home. That's probably slightly easier to fall asleep at home than in an actual, you know, like at court or something. Was she at home or was she in a hotel?

Oh, well, she may have been in a hotel, but just because it said the remote call. Maybe didn't say that. I think they were on a video call. Yes, yeah. She wasn't actually physically there. okay next story police crash into gay bar promptly arresting owner I feel like there's a way to spin this into a funny joke so I'm going to lean towards onion I can't possibly I'm I think I'm going to go real I'm going to go real but I really

want this to be onion there's got to be a joke in there somewhere but I can't see it for life for me. No, I can't see it either, but yeah. This is real. This is from the Riverfront Times. The incident happened in the city's Caron Delay neighbourhood. This was St. Louis. The full title is St. Louis Police crash into Gay Bar, promptly arrest owner. A neighborhood around 1230am today when a police SUV traveling northbound on South Broadway swerved across multiple lanes of traffic and into bar p.m. just as the LGBTQ bar was closing up. The police probable cause statement associated with the charges against bar p.m. co-owner Chad Morris alleges that Morris began to scream obscenities in the wake of the collision.

The officer writes that Morris struck me hard in the chest with an open hand, causing me to temporarily lose my balance, sorry. Morris then allegedly tried to flee into a gangway between the bar and another building, closing a gate on an officer as he did, according to the statement. However, BarPM's other co-owner, James Pence, told the RFT he was upstairs when the entire building shook due to the crash. He came downstairs to an officer demanding to see his identification. When Pence refused, he was spun around and placed in handcuffs. As for Morris, Pence said he was filming the crash scene when three officers went for him. He raised his arms and they said he hit him, Pence said.

So it just sounds like the police crashed into a building, tried to cover for themselves, and then... arrested someone and made up a story. The owner came downstairs and said, what the fuck is going on? And they were like, show us some ID. And he's like not immediately showing them ID. So they arrest him. It's what it sounds like.

The other guy put his hands up and apparently the police said that he struck them. Bullshit. Okay, next story is progressive preschool abandoned students in woods in bid to strengthen resolve. oh god i like i'm i want this to be real because i know these things exist like you know like going to the woods for a week like retreats where i know i used to know someone who went to

a man retreat where like it was like a week of just being screamed at and told you're worthless you have seen those online and yeah like all in the aid of becoming a better man i don't know i don't like it but i've heard weird of things so why not let the kids do it too it's got to be real i think this is the onion This is the onion. The write-up is particularly onion, so prepare yourselves. As part of its mission to encourage learning through free expression in a natural environment, teachers at local progressive preschool Sunshine Montessori Learning Centre

confirmed Tuesday that they had abandoned their students in the woods. Four-year-olds are natural learners, so we don't want to interfere with that innate process by hovering over them as they're discovering how to survive in the wilderness while completely cut off from civilization, said Kaylee Moreno, one of several teachers at the 20,000 per year private school, who reportedly led a class of blindfolded pre-kindergarteners into a remote forest, told the children to count to ten, and then disappeared without a trace. Sure, we could impose a rigid curriculum on kids that forces them to follow a strict set of rules

about how to find water, forest for food, and stay warm enough to survive through the night, but then we wouldn't be allowing them to develop the kids, the kinds of creative thinking skills they'll need when they reach adulthood. Uh, if they reach adulthood. At press times, reports confirmed 15 of the school children had been killed following a chance encounter with a mass shooter in the woods. Oh, God. Well, until that point, I was about to say this reads quite like sort of conservative propaganda

or like a parody. I've seen parody videos by like right wing political parties where like a teacher gets sacked because she refused to allow a kid to say that two plus two equals five. And, you know, it reads like that. But then the fact that it ends with them getting killed by a mass shooter, that's kind of the other side of the aisle, really. It is. The thing is, it sounds completely believable.

Yeah. It does feel like something. It's harder and harder to write for the onion. So you have to throw curveballs at the end, just like that one. Next up, city councilman found asleep behind the wheel with crack pipes still in hand. I think that sounds believable. I'm tempted to say that's real. I want to lean unreal for that as well

because I want there to be a picture that goes along with it I think there is actually ABC 7 this is real a city councilman in Rhode Island was caught sleeping behind the wheel of his car with a crack pipe in his hand the arrest all caught on video shows the councilman asleep with a crack pipe before officers wake him a concerned passerby had seen Matthew Riley and called police

but he's also found a bag of cocaine at the scene even officers seemed to be shocked by what they found you're a councilman in Cranston smoking crack with crack on you what do you think the constituents would say an officer asked Riley body cam footage shows yeah I think there is actually a photo of him just slumped in his car oh wow he's had a bad one there and finally we have buffet restaurant is reportedly headed for bankruptcy

after losing millions on endless shrimp hmm now this is that's tricky Millions Endless shrimp I feel like Oh I don't know That's so so tricky Yeah it sounds like it's like a Simpsons episode

One man did all this damage It's what I'm going to do to the hotel I'm going to Yeah exactly yeah I'll say it's the onion And they've sort of written a like a joke into it But that could just be very real I want it to be real so I'm going to say real.

It's real. No way. This is according to Delish. The full headline is Red Lobster is reportedly heading for bankruptcy. After detailed analysis, we have determined that Red Lobster's ongoing financial requirements

no longer aligned with our capital allocation priorities and therefore are pursuing an exit of our minority investment, said, oh. Business robot. What's that? Said business robot.

Yes. Yeah, said boring persons. Said Thirifonged chat. and Siri, possibly. Thai Union Group CEO in a statement earlier this year. The pandemic and labour costs aren't the only culprit of red lobsters declining profits. Those all-you-can-eat promotions have also caused a toll. Its $20 unlimited endless shrimp deal cost the company $11 million in its third quarter alone,

according to restaurant business. The chain ultimately raised the cost to $25 million, though. Oh, sorry, the chain ultimately cost. raised the cost of the endless unlimited shrimp to $25, but that hardly is going to recoup the $11 million. Yeah, they would have to raise it to $25 million. They would. So there we are.

There's some not the onion articles that we have not touched on this podcast thus far. Have you found him? I'm just looking at the shrimp. They do not look like you'd want to eat an unlimited amount of shrimp. No, it's not what I expect. I thought they'd be, like, bigger than that. Battered, breaded. I think that's them on a natural player.

That looks grim. Yeah. Those look grim as hell. How didn't make people manage to eat enough of those to put them in that? How do you not throw up when you just look at them? Look at the tiny little serving of chips as well on the side. That's crap, man. That is not.

I mean, what really puts me off is the sweet chili shrimp on the fork in the picture. Like, I like sweet chili. as much as the next man and I like it on shrimp or on prawns but the idea of eating all you can eat sweet chili

like I don't want to eat an awful lot of sweet chili anything let alone like a bucket full of sweet chili sauce and shrimp that just sounds nasty

looks like a sweet that it's so glazed it looks like a it's just made of sugar yeah anyway there's my thing onion has been

looked at Thank you very much, Ben You're welcome Thank you very much Ben Peter Could we have your viewer submitted thing You can I'm adding shrimp to the thread

I'm adding shrimp to the thread Dig in everyone It's only $25 Yeah Yes I have got something that was sent in By Frogly I believe Let me find it I was too busy doing shrimp

But I'm now doing What I need to be doing So yes sent by Frogly at the Frogly on Twitter and it's according to metro.com.com. written by Sam Courtney Guy. That's a hyphenated surname. All the mischief that's led to New York to Dublin portal

being switched off is the headline. This is it. This is all the mischief. An art project linking Manhattan and Dublin via live streaming devices installed in public places has gone exactly how you would expect it to if you know the slightest thing about people. Here is the first thing I saw about this when it was happening. That is someone holding their phone up to the camera and that is what someone saw in New York on the other end.

Oh, sorry, I've sent that to Mikey. Hello. There you go. Predictably, there is. Oh, for God's sake. We don't mention that. We potentially can't even put that on the thread slash in the video I can but we can describe it we can describe it in fact it's probably

in the article so we'll leave it for now and if it's not mentioned then we'll say twin sculptures featuring cameras and a large screen were fitted in each city last week with the wholesome aim of building a bridge to a united planet

the installations enable people to see what was happening in the other city 24 hours a day on a huge circular screen resembling a portal Organisers did not include audio feeds, thank God, officially to avoid taking away from the essential experience of connecting with others using body language, but also probably because it would have been a terrible idea.

But those limitations only fuelled Mick takers to concoct more ingenious ways to take the Mick. There have been sincere attempts to share culture and warmth. One Irish woman was filmed expertly river dancing at the screen while New Yorkers clapped and earnestly attempted to emulate her. Other images show employees from a local Manhattan company stood in front of the portal holding purposely made signs saying, we love Dublin and hello from New York.

Aw, cute. But of course, social media was soon awash with clips of people bearing their buttocks at the screen, twerking and making various lewd gestures. Here are some more images. That's a man showing his. is asked to the camera with the caption, I Love This City.

And here is a woman, also doing the same. Brilliant. From the perspective of the viewer. Of course. Of course. One woman was filmed being dragged away by Garda law enforcement officers. That's the Irish police. Before, sorry, after grinding her backside against the screen.

A bystander said she was very drunk and had been going at it for about 20 minutes. before officers stepped in. Meanwhile, man in Dublin, no article there, just man in Dublin, can be seen brazenly sniffing what appears to be a bump of white powder, which he scooped out of a small plastic pouch onto a key before looking up at the camera

with a spirited look on his face. Oh, get it. Here he is, having a little sniffter, having a great time. Oh, lovely. There appears to have been considerably more activity, so to speak, on the Irish side, perhaps to be expected for a nation which so reveres the crack. Not the, they've spelled it the Irish way, not as in, yeah, exactly, way.

There were fewer images of stunts by New Yorkers, and most appeared to involve holding up a middle finger. Some of the pranksters clearly went too far, though, with one Dubliner holding up a swast sticker to the screen in one incident. In one clip, another man holds up his phone screen closed to the camera with the message, RIP Pop Smoke, in honour of the Brooklyn-born rapper shot dead in 2020. Moments after, he pulls away his phone

and another phone is held up with the thing we were talking about before, an enlarged photo showing the second plane hijacked by Al-Qaeda militants hurtling towards the second World Trade Centre, while the other tower burned from the first strike on September the 11th. 2001. Of course. Good job. Yes, of course.

How fucking naive? I know. Did they have to be to think this would possibly go well? Yeah. Arguably, the only surprising development is it took five entire days for the trolling to reach banworthy levels, continues the article. On Monday morning, Dublin time, the screen was turned off and surrounded by at least five guardae, guard eye, whatever the plural of guarday is.

The displays were supposed to operate until, autumn, but it's not immediately clear whether they've been permanently deactivated or could come back online. I doubt it. The organisers, the portal, previously set up similar devices linking Vilnius in Lithuania and Lublin in Poland, if I've said that right, in 2021. And Benedictus Gillis, a Lithuanian artist who founded the portal, previously said, portals are an invitation to meet people above borders and differences and to experience our world as it really is. United and one.

Yeah, and also full of trolls. All the comments are saying what you said, Ben, just people are saying, what did they expect? People will be people. You know, this is, yeah, it's just completely predictable. Reminds me a lot of hitchbot.

Do you remember hearing about hitchbot? Hitchbot, no. Oh, Hitchbort! You will remember, once I start to describe HitchBot, you will certainly remember. Hitchbop was a hitchhiking robot created by Canadian researchers as a social experiment. It attempted to cross the United States from Boston to San Francisco, starting on the 17th of July 2015. However, after just two weeks, the robot was vandalized in Philadelphia on Friday night, according to a statement from the team monitoring the robot's travels.

The robot was damaged beyond repair, and its head was never found. Oh, God. People just kicked the shit out of this room. That's what they say about like Victorian serial killer victims Her head was never found Yeah, yeah Hitchbott Here's a picture of Hitchbought

He had a little tie on He looked so nice He looks like Moody's He's got wellies on Oh no Hitchbop Someone took their boot to that poor little guy's face That is heartbreaking How has there not been an episode

If it's always sunny in Philadelphia About Hitchbub Oh my God That would so good maybe this isn't the first portal of its kind the other one was in like Poland and Lithuania and it went well enough there for them to try yeah I suppose it must have done otherwise they wouldn't try again

you would you would assume I don't know yeah Dublin's a fun place to do I think anywhere in these part of the world yeah it's gonna go to Savage you pretty quick where the session exists yes where the session exists so does bum cheeks on cameras blasting across the other side of the world the next one should be at the Canary Islands

where all the nice Brits We're going to like to gammon cam. Yeah, exactly. Oh, God, amazing. Thank you very much, Peter. Thank you, Peter. You're welcome. Thank you, Frogly.

Before we move on to your thing, Mikey, I just want to highlight at Desi Love, hashtag send Desi, who has managed to change the name of the Chicago Rat Hole on Google Maps to Chicago Rat Hole presented by Vidiots Would you like see

That's massive You're aware of the Chicago rat hole Yeah I'm just going to Give a bit background The Chicago rat hole

Was a hole Shaped like a rat Formerly in the sidewalk of West Roscoe Street In the Roscoe Village neighborhood of Chicago

Illinois United States After existing for decades It became a viral phenomenon On social media In January 2024

Attacting Tourists The Site Officials removed the sidewalk slab containing the hole from the street on the 24th of April of this year

but the hole remains intact that damn rat hole it's on Google Maps as the Chicago Rat hole It's very rare we get a catch one of these in the wild Chicago Rat hole presented by Vitties there it is Stick it in the thread Amazing Oh he loves it

Thank you Desi Thank you Desi Thank you Desi good diligent work as always There's an entire house blurred out at the Chicago Rat hole when you go on street view Someone's been like oh I don't want people I know that people come to this on street view. I don't want them seeing my house.

Of course, yeah. Oh, no, I think it's because there's a huge sign on one of the trees and they've had to blur the entire thing. But anyway. Poor rat hole. All right. Well, we finish now on some questions from you at home because this is a thing we do now every once in a while.

Every two weeks, we'll take some questions from you on Instagram. So go follow us there. What is the handle again, Ben? Vidiots dot official Thank you So yeah Keep your eyes peeled on there And you can have the chance

To ask us ask some questions too Let's go Semi quick fire I give them as much time As you think they need That's some cash about this We begin with a question From Cubs and Colts

And they want to know Which colour has the best flavours Oh If you look at a drink What colour makes you go Oh yes That Blue always tastes

nice yeah blue does I quite like pink things oh I'm not a pink man myself see like I like pink sweets and you know I think drinks sometimes can't go wrong with

chemical yellow brown brown brown brown is a good color actually for food yeah ruin I'm gonna go like a strong chemical yellow I like sour things and that's usually a good indicator

I'm in for a tangy adventure and Cubs and Colts the Asca said they like blue the best too, so that's it, yeah. We continue with Haddie M. No, they ask, did you see the auroribopis? Was it the most beautiful site you've ever seen? Did you guys happen to see it? No, I knew it was happening, and like our two respective families were messaging me and Amy saying, oh, look at this, look at this is like our photo and like someone next door

posted this amazing one on our neighborhood Facebook group and we went outside because we have really low light pollution here and you can always see a fuck ton of stars like even we've had people come and stay with us who've just been like standing out on our driveway going wow look at all the stars we couldn't see it at all um so i think we just got unlucky because the visibility was good but wasn't there oh uh no you see it ben i didn't i didn't see it no part of me there was part of me that just thought, oh, well, I've heard this before about how the Northern Lights might be visible in part of the world.

And to be honest, I was in bed when it happened. I did feel bad, though. I felt bad for missing, especially when I saw that everyone apparently in the entire fucking world managed to get a photo. Yeah. But I have quite high, like, pollution where I am. So I don't know, but there were photos locally

where people have got amazing, amazing images. But no, I didn't see it. What about you, Mikey? I sadly didn't see it either. all three of us failed to see it. I had no idea. It was a thing. I had no idea until the next day.

And I was like, wait, what? Everybody, as you say, everybody saw it. Everyone did. Bullshit. Booth posted a good photo. That is good. Yeah, I'll add it to the threat. There's a cat licking its foot in front of the auriborealis.

That's adorable. Hans Dominic asks, is there anything you could do when you were young and you can't do now? Travada surface aging I used to be able to put my leg behind my head Whoa party boy Probably a lot of us could when we were babies But like I could do it into kind of into my

Possibly even young teens Like maybe about 13 is maybe when I stopped being able to do it I didn't do it very often But I could if I wanted to I'm like savagely inflexible to this Like I've just never been able to flex anything My fingers don't bend my joints don't move it's horrible I'm just a stiff little man

I think stiff little late nights stiff little man late nights for me now are the real killer I used to be able to stay up all night and just like roll on through the next day usually I worry but now I just I suffer I suffer as I does I need I've finally got the point in my life where I need a certain amount of sleep to function I miss my late nights I've never been a strong drinker I've never been good at drinking but I'm even

like worse now. I can only have like maybe two or three drinks before I feel. I don't get drunk that easily but I feel rough in the morning if I have like literally three pints. That's all it takes now.

Yeah. I firmly believe that I'm only getting stronger every year. There's nothing that I couldn't do when I was younger that I can't do now better. And there's more things that I can do now than ever before. However, if I were to pick one floor, it's not even a floor, really. It's that I used to be

able to eat a lot more food in one sitting, like takeaway wise than I can now. I used to, it's probably a good thing, to be honest, but when I got a takeaway in, I used to be able to, like, I'd always have some stuff left that I would eat the next day, but I'd be able to eat way more of it now i like hype up takeaway like weeks in advance because i i try to limit myself to one a month and and by the time the day rolls around i'm really excited takeaway arrives i have like a few mouthfuls and i think getting a bit full now this is this is bullshit i want i want to be able to just like curb it you know just inhale the whole thing i can't can't do it anymore sad i i'm quite excited when i can't finish a takeaway because

because it means more tomorrow. Obviously depends on particularly. It's not as good, though. Curry's good for the next day or two. Pizza, burger chips. That sad, sweat, sweaty, mushy, sadness. Hot lettuce. Oh, sorry, lettuce.

Alex Kirby would like to know. What is the dumbest recurring joke? You never expected to still be going on now. I've said this. You go ahead, Mackey. After you, Peter, insist. I was just going to say, I've said this before. possibly on content or if not definitely in person to you guys

and to Amy multiple times that I find it baffling that we were walking along once in the street we did a little kiss-kis and a strange man behind us said kiss-kis and now not only is it still happening in my immediate circle but it has spread I think at least four degrees of Kevin Bacon away from me because I was saying it, then Andrew Hodkinson from Coultholic picked it up,

and then I believe he was saying it on his stream one, you say on his stream quite a lot, and someone who watched him started saying it, and I think she even then said that her friend was saying it, and she didn't even watch Coultholic. So there is someone that far removed from me and Amy and the man who said it, and people are saying,

keys it's just it's unbelievable that's happening I forgot about the story to it that's so sweet I was going to say

keys keys as well I can't believe that that is still we're still doing that yeah it's it's quite versatile it is it works for kiss but then also

words like keys car keys or cheese even cheese cheese whatever you like it's very good I'm forever

proud that Michael Juggson made his way out the northeast to kind of brought slightly broader appeal and yeah he fucking did he still has legs today we don't reference him as much but he's still there in our hearts and the core of everything we do definitely is we we keep simon miller alive as well i mean simon miller of course yeah is is doing exceptionally well and always has uh but just that stupid little prey or pray too if you want to get serious about this that is in practically every video we have ever put out on triple jump for five years. Our writers, they always try and get one in per script.

Our senior writer has a little Bible that she sends to new freelance writers that basically attempt to explain the law, the jokes, the reasoning and the context in which you would do if you want to get such and such about such and such. That seems incredible. I was recording a thing yesterday

and it said like the name of the game and then it was earthbound slash mother two or whichever way around it is whatever it's called you know and they didn't write it in a Millerism form and I kind of thought oh

well never mind you know I was a bit disappointed that it didn't say or open gold or earthbound if you were serious about this oh god I need to read that Bible that Bible sounds amazing it's a good Bible The old Simpsons, like, good Bible.

The old Simpsons books of, like, bad and good poses to do, except yours has got Salmon Miller in it. Murray Elizabeth would like to know, when you're a kid, what did you all want to be when you grew up? You have any dreams as a child of careers, jobs? Archaeologists for me. Archaeologists. I was interested in ancient Egypt, ancient Greece,

and, you know, Roman Britain. and there was that that dinosaur at your school there was a dinosaur at my school yeah footprint was it sorry was it a footprint or a skeleton there was a mold of a footprint that was taken from a a dump near where my school was

and we also had a prop from walking with dinosaurs like an eviscerated triceratops that had been eaten yeah it changed around a bit for me sort of like year on year but there was definitely a time I wanted to be a vet um I remember quite sort of you know really wanting to be just a farmer and have like a market stall at one point I just wanted to go to the farmer's market and you know I think it's uh it's quite easy to look at

the life of a farmer and think oh that's nice you know you're just like wandering around fields and looking after animals but you have to get up at stupid o'clock in the morning you know send your animals off to slaughter so it's probably really difficult in a similar vein to that maybe not full on farmer

I just wanted to drive tractors when I was very dream career move I could just do that without all the other stuff I'd be quite happy and lastly from drop tuned prodigy

they want to know what's the top item on your bucket list if you've got one I don't have a formal bucket list I don't think I've even got a loose connection of ideas in my head that would form a bucket list

We all want to see the northern lights Don't we? Yeah, we do For one of these fucking days Once a lifetime, eh? Yeah. Um I would like to do the Appalachian Trail

That would be quite I think that's like one That's like my biggie If I do that Then I don't have to do anything else in life I've done it I did yeah Big trek across America

Through a mountain trail For like months and months Get stinky Have a go at it have some fun probably get injured along the way and have to give up but it's worth a go yeah if if money was no object i'd like to cross america on like a road trip i'd like to just hire a car uh you know stop at as many big cities as i can but between the big cities try and stop at like tiny little backwater towns as well and uh just just like meet people

you know i'm not even doing it for the sites i just want to go into like some like quiet little bar and have people tell me that they love my accent and tell me about the one interesting thing in their little town. It just sounds like a really interesting kind of social study as much as anything else, just meeting all these different people from different walks of life.

I don't know that I have like a thing that is top of any kind of list. There's lots of stuff I want to do like you guys. If I was to pluck one out of thin air that feels like a real long shot and is unlikely to ever happen, I'd really like to experience zero gravity at some point,

either on one of those flights that you can go on or by going up into space and then coming back down, that feels like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So yeah, maybe that, maybe that. Yeah, good shout, good shout. I never thought of that.

I would like to do that. Maybe we'll book that one day as a nice activity day. Yeah, we might see it. Yeah, we're coming up. Oralus from space. Yeah, maybe. Lovely.
