Pickax Glitch What is it Is it? What is it? Is it happening? Will it be? Does anyone even remember what glitch is at this point?

What was it? Well, what could it be is the question now? So if you haven't seen on the socials, on the Instagrams and the Twitters and the blue skies, We put out a little questionnaire a couple of weeks ago asking people what they thought about going and seeing us live in person for a vidiates finale event, live podcast, experience extravaganza.

Asterix, we haven't planned any extravaganza or anything. No, it's also not a live vidiates finale either. It's just a poddiots recording. We've planned nothing, but people seem keen, which is nice. We've had hundreds of responses, literally. which is lovely to see. And people have been suggested or, well,

either voting on a few places we nominated as the host city and also suggesting their own. All these cities are very excited. They're really bidding for the big point. It's Qatar. We're going to Qatar. But people can still vote, right, Mikey?

Correct. Yes. The questionnaire is still up there. We're just looking for input and just kind of to help get a gauge of interest. So if you go over to bit.ly forward slash project glitch, project glitch, all one word. We're reclaiming it. Yes. Aren't Bitley-Links case sensitive?

Is that all, what is that? That's all lowercase. Okay. Nice. Project glitch. Yes. If that sound interesting, if you'd like to go have a cry in a room with everyone while I'll last episode of Polly, it's unfold before your eyes, go fill it out.

could help make it happen and maybe be in that room it's all very early days we don't know anything we can't answer any questions because we haven't thought of those questions at all yet ourselves no and we're just hmm yes well i was going to say we we especially can't answer the questions that people are asking us such as when is it and where is it and what do i have to do to be there and what is it and what is it and no one's ever been able to answer that one but we appreciate the enthusiasm but uh we don't have those answers and don't worry you will not it won't pass you by we'll signpost it massively um and i can't see it being something that you're going to have to be really quick off the mark on to

get tickets for like it's probably it's unlikely to be like that so don't don't panic don't worry you will know when it's about to happen and uh yeah yeah there's no no need to fear that you're missing out of something yet we are eyeing up a number of stadiums across the UK so there will be there's nowhere with capacity big enough for us that's the problem like oh yeah a lot of seats so we'll find somewhere we're thinking about the feld Hoyer's meat facery potentially that might be big enough we're not they're going to clear the just to clear the floor for us yeah let us do a show it will be in the UK obviously it's just a matter of deciding which city and to be honest the free the three front runners are quite obviously

Newcastle, Bristol and Stoke-on-Trent. Stoke-on-Trent for the memes, and also because it's sort of in-between, sort of in-between us, sort of. Yes, yes. So that might work as a good central area, but yeah, we've just, we've had an informal conversation

about how it would be a nice thing to do and that we always maybe wanted to do this at some point during Pottiet's run, and it might be a good way to end things. It's not necessarily, you know, you may be concerned, that we're closing in on Christmas. It's like Pottietz is not going beyond 2025,

but we might make an exception for a live show. Yeah. So don't be afraid if you don't hear anything for a couple of months, and it's like, Jesus Christ, guys, you guys need to organise this thing because there's only a month and a half until Pottietz is over. What do you do it? No, don't worry about that.

If it's not convenient for us to do it on or before December, which I'm sure it isn't, we will do it later than that. So that's not a concern. No. And yes, I think we're all a little bit scared by the idea. Oh, yes. We may also just be procrastinating it a little bit, but it's coming, we promise. It does sound fun.

It's good to be scared, right? It's good to be scared. Yeah. It is. We were going to do this in front of like a crowd with hat films, a crowd who barely knew us. So we can do it for a room of people who know only us. I think we can manage that. Yeah, for sure.

Yeah. There's a good chance it's going to be in a pub or social club function room. I want to be the kind of social club where if you hit the chairs, dust comes out of the chairs. Oh, yeah, it just plumes out. The smells of old men and cigarettes. Maybe one of those that still has one of those shiny drapey curtains with all the strands of tinsel that hang down. That's been there since the 70s. Real karaoke flavor.

It's going to be what it is, and we will communicate more to you in due time. At the moment, as you guys have said, we are purely gauging interest. It's something we'd like to do. We're not going to be able to get all of you in a room, but we'll try, and we'll let you know when we have more information, which will come at some point. I don't know. Stay tuned to social media. We'll tell you. We'll tell you when we have more for you.

Lovely. Sounds good. oh sorry i always burp i always burp just when kevin's about come out i thought i was going to say is that kevin but no it was just a belt wasn't it now it's just a belt yeah that effect on me oh wait if i burp just a bit more kevin might come out oh oh here he oh oh it's going to be a bigan here he comes oh oh oh kemp oh oh hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello Everybody and welcome to Pottie. It's the official videos, podcast.

It's a conversational podcast where we 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. Hello.

We'll be able to do that in sync if we do a live show together, won't we? We'll be able to get, we'll do the three errs in perfect harmony. What a truth. I still think it should be slightly out of time. Yeah, maybe. As is promised. How are you boys doing? Are you well?

Very well. Oh, Peter's got on him. I am well now. I've had a bit of a funny thing this week. Oh, you brought along to tell us about a funny thing? Sorry. He brought along your funny thing to talk about on the podcast? It's probably not long enough to talk about on the podcast.

I mean, I will tell you it now, but it's not my official thing is what I I mean. So, hey, chance for me to do a little plug here. As some of you know, I now have a YouTube channel at that Peter Austin, plug, plug, plug, where I sometimes go and stand in fields talking about history or geography or science or something. What percentage of your time is spent stood in fields, would you say? I feel like now I probably spend like two days in a fortnight, which averages surprisingly one a week. in a field, although that's not true because I don't do a field every time, but yeah. It's a lot of field time.

A lot of field time, and I spent some time outstanding in my field last week, and I had like traips through some quite long grass and some bad stuff, some plants and things, and I was wearing shorts because it's been so warm. And I got all kind of like itched up and irritated on my shins and my ankles and stuff because I was brushing against all these different plants and stuff. And I was like, okay, well, that's, yeah, okay, that's my own fault. Went home. And later in the day, like hours later, I realized, oh, I've got like a bite on my ankle.

I've got like a bug bite. Damn, okay, that's a shame. It looks like quite a big one. And then throughout the evening, it got worse and worse, and it really started to swell up. And then I noticed, in the middle of this bite, there were two puncture marks right next to each other. there. And the bike got very bad over the next few days. I had to go to the GP about it. And the consensus is that I was bitten by a spider. Whoa. Oh my word. So cool.

In a field in England, which doesn't happen very often, but can happen. So as I said on Twitter, I'm called Peter. I've been bitten by a spider. It's only a matter of time before I kiss Mary Jane or something, right? Upside down. Are you going to be, should the spider powers manifest, sorry, when the spider powers manifest? Will you take up the mantle? Will you take up the mask?

Or are you just going to use it? You're going to live a quiet life? And just, it's much easier for you to clean things and lift furniture out of the way, that sort of stuff. They do say with great power comes great response to Triller tracks. And I don't know if I'm ready for that. Triller tracks. So I think, but yeah, potentially just, it just means I won't have to get up to, like, reach

my TV. Well, you don't even have to do that anymore, do you? It's not been doing that for about 20 years. I was going to say my game controller on my TV stand, but the word TV came out a lot sooner than it should have done, implying that I have one of those big twisty knob tellies in my house still. He does though. I do. Yeah, of course they do. I'll be able to reach my controller from the coffee table, which is out of reach. Not great for coffee. That should be in reach, shouldn't it? Really, it sounds like I need to rearrange my house. That's the simple power I need. I feel like a lot of

these could be solved quite easily. Yeah. So now you don't have to solve them. You're going to have webby hand soon. So everything, I'll just come straight to you. Yeah, it's exciting. Am I going to be the one who dies in your life that sets you on that journey? Yeah, maybe. I mean, you are Ben, of course. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. And Michael, you're MJ. MJ! Oh, no, I've never noticed this before.

All three of us. Giz her, kiss, Peter. So I've got to give you an upside-down kiss. And Ben's got to die, unfortunately. Well, you know what? It was going to happen at some point, so. I missed the problem where that's my problem, right? That's what he says.

Do you feel any compulsion to wrestle match a man, Randy Savage? He gets three minutes. match with me, right? He's got me for three minutes. He has, yeah. Bonesaw is ready, as they say. Okay, well then, I mean, I'll gladly die if it means setting you off on a journey that will ultimately see you save countless others, a necessary sacrifice, although actually you could argue that much like Batman, your costumed antics inspire some pretty heinous villainy that would perhaps have been avoided had you not taken up. Yeah, that's true. Is it a net positive or a net loss?

Well, but the fact is, come 2026, I'm going to have a lot more free time once Podiat's is done. So, you know, it's come at a good moment for me, I think. Okay. But I'm doing a lot better now. It's healed up. And how are you two? How are you doing, Mikey? I'm good.

I've just got back off holiday. So I'm feeling pretty good. A few days in France, a few days in Paris, and a few days in the countryside. and the end to shoot yourself this time? I didn't. Thankfully, not this time. It's good to go on holiday, not shit pant. It's a real good feeling.

I did get slight flashbacks, like getting on the Eurostar. It all came flooding back and thankfully not literally. It was lovely, though. I spent most of the time pointing at rats and going, look, it's Remy from Rat towi. Did you see a lot of rats? Did you go up and enjoy that? Quite.

The third, fourth time. Yeah. But we enjoyed it so much. We watched Rattahoo the evening we got home in England. So. I'm glad you didn't spend one of your nights in France watching Rattatoo. We nearly did. We were going to.

We were really tempted to. He was watching the real one. Yeah. It's lovely. How you doing, Ben? Yeah, I'm doing well. Thank you. I got engaged.

I'm engaged now. Hope you married. Congratulations. Thank you very much. much. I also went on holiday to, but I went to Greece, where I was actually also bitten by several bugs immediately. Oh, wow.

The mosquitoes, they were thirsty out there. But also, there was, there were like these beanbag chairs on the beach. I don't know if you know this about, I went to Crete specifically, specifically, sorry. Yes. Mediterranean. And the sea does. actually move that much. It just gets more and less violent. They don't really have tides. So the, the sort of, the beach was right across from our hotel, which was lovely.

And they have permanently set up like deck chairs and stuff. And they never need to move them because the scene never comes any further in. And it doesn't really go out, which is also really surreal. Anyway, they had these beanbag chairs and I sat on one for, I shit you're not, maybe like three minutes immediately bitten all over my elbow in like five different places and then all over my ankles as well

what is what is this horrific bug that has come out and beat a beaten but then that was like day one and then day two and for the rest of my holiday I had these massive really angry red blotches all over

my arms and I was like I look so gross like all these people are going to be looking at the pasty brick going has he got some sort of disorder what is what's wrong with it had you proposed at that point or did it come later uh that actually being bitten came uh literally moments after the that's good proposal was coming up you didn't do a blotchy proposal that's that's great no no no with like my eye all swollen shut

but no it was lovely it was really nice uh we actually flew out the weekend um or the or the sorry that those storms were hitting the northeast and it was really windy and um our i've never really fortunately had to suffer from flight delays before and we got there on time and we were sat there and we thought okay well the planes are looking a little wobbly but like they're landing and some planes have been delayed but ours hasn't been delayed and they'd like let us into the lounge it was about half an hour until the flight i was sat there ready to board the plane five minutes before we're due to board apparently someone was watching out of the window

and it was like oh that's our plane coming in now and it tries to land and then just fucks off and they decided nah not going to do that five hours we had to wait in the airport for five hours until another plane came they're allowed to try twice I think they're allowed to do two abortes

and then they can either I think that's it I think if they abort a second time they have to go to the backup airport. I was on a plane that did that. Oh, shit. Where did you end up? A few months ago. No, fortunately, they aborted once, which was kind of horrible.

Because they get like, you know, literally about 10 to 15 feet off the ground sometimes. And then they're like, these crosswinds are bad. And they absolutely fuck the throttle and go up at about 45 degrees. And then they came around again and they managed to get it. down but yeah my my dad's in the aviation industry and he was sitting next to me saying oh you know like he says like you know i've got no no fears or qualms about flight safety or anything but he was like i really hope they don't have to do that a second time because it means we will be going to liverpool or something which you know he meant like logistically rather than i fucking

scared of liverpool well the poor souls on that were on the plane that was meant to be coming to us obviously meant to be landing in Newcastle, ended up at East Midlands Airport, where presumably they were then stranded for multiple hours before they could come to Newcastle. Yeah. But yeah, it was mental. Anyway, we got there. It was super late by the time we got there, but it was a lovely time, really enjoyed it. Tell you what, the hotel stuff were very weird.

It was really interesting because, you know, the universal symbol of, please leave me the fuck alone, is putting that do not disturb sign outside your door. Yes. Which means that you know no one's going to be. coming in and I appreciate people who work in the um the hospitality business particularly in in hotels are like really on the up and up they're not going to take anything out of your bags or go through your stuff but I always have that fear where it's like I've got my passports I've brought my game boys with me I don't want anyone to touch my game boys

what if they start a new game and they save over it yeah never mind a passport please don't say I don't give a shit about any passport as long as no one touched my level five pigeon and in this hotel and you could tell that when it was built and it was not too old of a hotel like a few years old but when it was built like they put loads of the mod cons and some really swanky stuff that you don't see in a lot of hotels so instead of hanging a like a sign on the handle it's got like a little LED display outside the door so on the inside you set it to do not disturb and it just stays on and that was set on the entire time every day that we're We went out of the hotel room.

We came back and our beds had been made. They had, the first day in particular, because we'd arrived so late, my pants were on the floor. They had picked up my pants. Oh, no. And I was the worst. And put them somewhere else. And I was like, that is genuinely upsetting.

Yeah. That's really disturbing. And one of the days I was in there, because I'd had a lie in. Oh, no. And they knocked on the door. And they said, can I clean? And I was like, no, thank you. And I said, it'll only take five minutes.

And I was like, this is. is not how this works. You're not meant to be in here. Just leave me a load. It says do not disturb. Also, I don't tell me that you can clean this hotel room really, really quickly, because that just makes me think you've not been cleaning my hotel room very quickly or very properly, cleaning it properly. Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong. It was a rare luxury for staying in a hotel all the times that I have to actually get clean towels because normally I just forego that because I want to be left alone. But yeah, it was really weird. Had a great time though. And that's it. The headline is I am in Gargade now. So, well done. Well done. Thank you. Thank you very much. Well, my boys.

20 minutes in, yeah. Each and every Poddiots, we are supported by some wonderful folks that we call the Pod Squad. And if people would like to join the Pod Squad, they can go to Podiat's.com, donate three pounds or more. And they'll get a shout out at the beginning and the end of the next episode of the podcast and they'll support us and that's really nice and we appreciate it especially as we're potentially building towards a live show anything like the pod squad supporters support is supremely helpful because it gives us an idea of what we sort of can and can't do while we're planning logistics and so on so a massive thank you to everyone who's been a pod squad member over the over the past seven years but also and especially

and I love it. It's really good. I'm not even sure what the word brew ha-ha-ha is. That's probably my ignorance for them. Oh, is it? A brouha, a fracar, yeah, a brouhaha, yeah. Is this a real word? I don't know, but you're saying this was such confidence.

Yeah, Google it, Google it. Tell me what brouhaha means. Brouhaha. A noisy and over-excited reaction or response to something. Whoa. I've learned a new word. A brouhaha. He's going to use it in every.

Pottiotts.com, 3 pounds, or more to get a shout out at the beginning and the end of the next recording. Thank you very much, everybody. What is that? That's great that you've sent in the show. I just went like Google Bruehaha. This is the image of other words that could... This is synonyms for Bruehaha.

I'll put it in the thread, but can you describe it for audio listeners? It's, yes, well, yes, I've negated that fact. There's two pigeons having a conversation with each other. The one on the left is wearing a cap, and he's asking, what other words are brouhaha? And the esteemed educated pigeon on the right is wearing glasses, a little... What are the hats called? Mortarboard.

Mortarboard. Wow. He's got a university hat on, I'll call it. I've never heard of them called board. Even though I've just told you what it's called. I've never heard of someone else. And around his neck, he is donned with the bread crust and he's delightfully listing off surname for brouhaha, which in case you, if he curious, hubbub, to-do, commotion,

fracas, stir, row, adieu, and rumpus. Thank you, Pahoo. That's such a strange template. I'm glad it exists and it's very apropos that the pigeon boys here as well. Yeah, glad I got to see that. Amazing. Well, Peter Austin, I believe you are question and thing man today. Yes, that's right.

So how about Michael Johnson going first with his listener submitted thing? I'd be delighted to. We have got a lovely little article submitted by Pet Shop Man. At Pet Shop Man on Twitter. This is a BBC news article, so the writing is going to be gooder than most. Yeah. This is a headline, and it reads, I found the Sycamore Gap tree under my patio slab.

What the fuck? I saw this at the time. This is silly. This is silly. It's ridiculous. I can't believe the BBC are entertaining this. This is toss For context

For everyone at home The Sycamore Gap Was a lovely tree In Northumberland I believe That was like A sycamore tree situated at the bottom of two hills You saw a shot of it

In 28 years late If you want to see it I think Yeah It was famous being like a Robin Hood film As well The one with Morgan Freeman in it Yeah it's quite iconic

But it was a It was felled by two bastards With a chainsaw The other year He did it for no reason Literally no reason This did it Because fuck it

Why not We can't have nice things. Really funny, I think. That's why they did it. Well, don't worry. The tree may be gone, but it has been reborn. Because this man has found it in his garden. I've sent the picture.

What am I looking at? Oh. Oh, okay. It's one of these, is it? Yeah. I found Jesus in my toast. He's not found a seedling or a sapling. He's found something else, right, Mikey?

So why is David, why, he looks like David Lynch. He does look like David Lynch. He looks a lot like David Lynch. I found David Lynch in my patio. This is the bigger story. David Lynch is still alive. He's got David Lynch's exact hair. He literally looks like. He looks more like David Lynch than the thing looks like a tree.

Jesus. Oh, God. Sorry, you've not even said what David Lynch found in his garden, yeah? No. Fuck all. Underneath one of his patio slabs, he found a dirt splotch roughly in the shape of a tree. Yeah. It's the Jesus Christ on my toast.

It's the meat in my face. Yeah, it's all that. The cornflake in the shape of Texas, kind of, yeah. Yeah, I got one more picture. These are such Lynch shoes as well he's wearing. This, purple socks, blue brooks. What the fuck? divisive and if you can believe it I've found the sycamore gap tree so yeah it looks

it looks vaguely like a tree also looks like a little puddle of mud on the floor um anyway sorry let's see what uh this man has to say about his amazing discovery david david david lynch i'm just going to rename him to david lynch out the entire thing uh david lynch hopes to protect the marking from the elements one of the pictures is subject titled. A gardener said he could not believe his, I could not believe my eyes when he uncovered a miraculous representation of the now-felled sycamore gap tree hidden beneath the paving stone. David Lynch made the discovery at his home near North Hallerton in North Yorkshire. The 82-year-old, that's about how Lynch was, oh my God, the 82-year-old said he lifted up a slab

which had been stacked for about a decade. He saw an image of what appeared to resemble the much-loved tree that had been formed by dirt and dust. That's not, the tree wasn't formed by dirt and dust. The image of the tree was, yes, it was felled in 2023. I'm glad to say they were jailed for four years and three months, the offenders of this crime, good. and Mr. Lynch told the BBC it is not quite rounded at the top

it is not quite fully formed but it is a remarkable likeness it's not though this is what pisses me off about this story there's not even like a hill there's not a hill it's on if anything it's sitting on a mound not in the literally like the definitive the defining iconic aspect of the sycamore gaitry is it happened to grow between two hills like one massive tree. That bit of mud is sitting on top of like a little hillock.

And it's also got a really thick trunk. So this really annoyed me when I saw it. It's like a mushroom cloud. It's nothing. This is nothing. This is absolutely nothing. It looks like it could be a tree. What he's found is mud that looks like a tree.

I don't know why he thinks it looks anything like the sycamore game. tree. Yeah, it's just, he had to pick a tree from memory. Yes, the Sycamore Gap, but it's gone, but it's back in my garden. I just sent a screenshot of the article where it has a picture of the real tree and a picture of the not real tree, like underneath there. I can think of other trees, it looks more like. It looks like the Bugs Life tree. Look at this. Looks more like that. You know what? It actually does. Yeah. I found the Bugs Life tree under my patio. I did. I like that. I would like that headline more. David Lynch finds Bugs Life Tree in God.

Why aren't they calling him by his real name either? That's the most annoying thing. Yeah, it's terrible. He's not fooling anyone, is he? David. David, yeah. I'll tell you what's happened here. David Lynch faked his death.

And he was hoping that eventually people would sort of rediscover him and he'd hit all the headlines. But no one noticed. He's been going to like Aldi and no one has told the newspapers he's still alive. So he's like, I'm going to have to just like throw some. mud on the floor outside so that I can get my face in the papers and then hopefully someone will will realize what I've done here. It's rubbish, just rubbish, just absolutely rubbish.

I mean, I'm all for finding, you know, weird things in things, but given how the heartstrings of the nation were cut down by the destruction of Sycamore Gap, to even invoke its name the sacrilege. It feels like it's just sort of capitalizing on the heartache of a nation and making a mockier of it. Disgusting. Disgusting. Especially when it looks nothing like what you're saying is supposed to be. I mean, I remember Yoda, sausage and mash baby Yoda.

That looked more like Yoda. Yeah. Than this looks like the tree. Oh, rubbish. Well, Lynch said, it is a miraculous representation of the tree. I just looked at it in amazement. in amazing stared at it for hours

he lifted a slab and he was like oh my fucking God that's the sycamore gap kids come look at this we've got it call the BBC I just googled it like the BBC is literally the only outlet to be reporting on this story

which is amazing surely this has been done by someone else first but no BBC got first dibs I'm going to quickly skim through the rest of the article it must he says Lynch says it must have delivered over 10 years as the paving slabs had not moved during that time

they had been in that particular part of the garden for as long as I can remember the likeness to the sycamore gap tree is remarkable he said hmm let's say da da da da lives with his wife Marilyn they're worried about

how long the tree can be kept in its current condition they need to get some plastic drilled over it to keep it safe if it rains it might get washed away but my wife It will. It's mud. But my wife and friends have all seen it and have all been as amazed as I was, Lynch added. Oh God, they're just humouring him. He's inviting people around and they're like, oh, yeah, David, yeah.

Oh, Derek works at the BBC. We could tell them about this, you know. David, do you think you might go back to work soon? Make another season of that television show. We're a bit worried. Maybe you're spending a bit too much time at home. Oh dear. Unbelievable. Let's see. Anything else?

He says a magnificent tree. He misses the tree dearly, so he's seeing a tree in his gardens. Yes, that's it. Man from North Allerton, Yorkshire, misses Northumberland's tree dearly. Breaking news. Honestly, I can't get over the David Lynch likeness. It looks so much like him. It's a bit, I read to that entire article, fine, whatever.

Scroll back up to see the man who looks like David Lynch. Now, that's newsworthy. Thank you very much. Wow. There you go. That's your treat. Thank you very much for that one. Pet Shop Man, what a delight.

Thank you. Thank you, Mikey. Ben, would you like to give us your own thing now? I would love to, but it is also crowdsourced because we remembered that we have an Instagram account and that for a while we would take it in terms to bring questions in that was submitted on Instagram as one of our things. And I remembered and now I'm doing it. And that's what I'm going to do now. So I've got a wide array of questions. We're probably not going to get through all of them, but sort of as rapid fire as you like, I suppose, really. We start with Milburn Tattoo who said

Shag Marry Kill Billy Babs or DBP I mean can't Shag Billy No you can't No he does is not allowed He's our son That would be really bad

Like Barbara's had a bit of a come up in recent years Right She's like changed tact She was always beautiful She was always beautiful Now she's especially Now she's like hench and wrestling and stuff right It's not just

Well yes Shag Babes She's not a fat Shag Shag Babs. Shag bad. Shag Babs. Well, I can't. And also, I can't shag Billy.

I don't want to marry DBP, though. So you have by process of elimination, Ben, you have to shag DBP. I do have to shag Dave Benson Phillips. Yes, I do. Yeah. That's fine. He's lovely. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's either that. Can you look, Billy in the eyes again afterwards? No. No, I can't. No, it's, yeah.

I don't think I can't. I was going to say I've got to either marry or kill Billy Kill Bill I don't want to kill him I think I'm going to have to just do some sort of horrible illegal marriage to him and kill Dave Benson Phillips A platonic marriage

With your son I think I'd marry I'd marry DBP I think actually Shag Babs kill Bill Sadly We've all given completely different answers then That's good So I'm shagging DBP

I can't I don't think Babs is actually killable so I'm also going to have to kill Bill and marry Babs so it's unfortunate what a horrible question

thank you thank you Bill Burtan Tattoo William Ross 93 said What's your favourite silly place name in the UK? I like Sandy Balls Sandy Balls is good I did some work

experience in a call center for a hotel company and they had a big map on the wall and when there was downtime they would or it wasn't a map on the wall they had a giant atlas in the office and literally when there was nothing going on people would just go through the atlas finding funny places and my two favourites were brown willy which is a lake in like cornwall or something and licky end The end is a road, I think, somewhere. Fantastic. I'm still a big fan of Wet Wang.

Dick and Dom told me about that. Yeah, and it's real. Shitterton is also a great one. There's lots of brilliant, rude names. Penniston's a classic as well, penis-tower. You went to visit Twat as well, didn't you? Yeah, I did. I went to Twat in Orkney. My parents don't live too far.

far from one of the thong related place names, of which there are a few. I don't want to be too specific, but yeah, they live near a thong. So let's see, there's Bitchfield as well. Shitterton is actually the one where they have had to engrave the village slash town sign in a massive block of stone. Yeah. Because people kept stealing the sign. You've also got Bell End, of course, Fanny Hands is a place. There's a place in Leicestershire. called Barton in the Beans. That's a good one. That's great.

It is Barton's in the Beans. Croch Crescent, Minge Lane, Crapston, Knob End. They're all good. They are really good. There's one here. I know you said Licky End already, but there's one that's apparently, it may be similar. It may be this one, actually. That's called Bell End near Licky End.

Oh, okay. Oh, no, we? I didn't know they were together. There was a... It's not rude, but there was an electric avenue near my school when I was growing up, as in, oh, we're going to rock down two, right? That was always worth a photo next to a sign. Nice. That was a good one.

Yeah. Arnold Game Boy says, was there ever an idea for a video that got shot down? If so, why? Oh, shot down. I don't think we ever actively pitched any. anything that we weren't allowed. I mean, I did hit Peter with my car, so I feel like we're pretty much anything was on the table.

I believe we had a lot of lofty ideas for videos, especially Prove It, that we just didn't have the, as you might be able to tell, did not have the budget. But Prove it ended with this paddling about in a river in children's medieval out. See, that one was good. That was an on-location shoot. I'm thinking the Spiro Prove-it where we're herding plastic boliv. down the corridor that has absolutely fucking no relevance to Spiro at all.

We did the best with what was like, Daff, we need to put in another order on Amazon. We want this bat and ball set. We're going to shoot an entire video on a budget of £15. Lots of, you know, like the Tomb Raider thing was so cool. Those sort of experience event days that we could maybe have tied into relevant video games,

but we just didn't get the, opportunities to do it so those yeah we talked about just trying to like tie in go-karting to cart racing games or some kind of paintballing or laser tag or something like that using for like an fps prove it you know all those sorts of things any kind of activity or experience that is vaguely related to i mean i'm not saying we would have played an fps game and then just gone paintballing like i'm sure we would have like dealt with the company and tried to set up like you know a special room with targets and a set or whatever if we had all the money in the world we wouldn't have just gone go-carting or whatever but yeah um we just didn't as you say

we didn't have the budget for some of these things no no i've got i've gone back to the original ideas documentary made many years ago oh wow anything fun on there uh plaster scene well i remember there's one we were thrown about where we have to try and make a scene out of plaster scene and we have to guess what each of the made or like we have to recreate. We sort of did that, didn't we? Did we? No, well, we did it on SMTJ live too. Yeah, we did. We did some plaster scene

stuff. Yeah, we did. We made a Babs, right? We did, yeah, we did. We tried anyway. And we did do at Yogthcast we did do the Sims house building one. That was quite fun. Yeah, that was quite fun. Yeah, that was a good one. But not many lend themselves to that. And

you've also got to remember that you've got Mr. Fucking Beast out there getting actual sponsorships with unlimited money to do Call of Duty in real life and it's actually branded and they've got actors and like we, you know, there's just no fucking competing, is there?

Yeah, even like the technical aspects of some of them, like I used to watch a lot of immersion on rooster teeth and they, I remember they did one with Trials Evolution where they had guys on little mini bikes and they were wearing headsets so that they could see themselves in profile like inside scrolling and all we had to do was like drive down a straight track

but instead of seeing with their eyes they were seeing themselves from the side on like from quite far out it was really really good idea that is clever yeah that's clever uh okay well mofo charles anthony says describe your perfect sunday oh goodness at 10 a.m head into Aldi for opening time Have a stroll You don't have to do the big shop

If you can do it on the sand today No no no no Are you a sea goal Are you going to get stuck in it? My entire Sunday is spent in the Aldi help Please I want I want two hours on my own To look at every single item in the middle aisle

And it's just been refreshed I've never seen any of it before That's like That's king shit Sunday morning activities and then come home with the bits you bought, maybe a little lunch, have that, and just go for a walk in the woods or something. I've done

my Aldi shop. That's my perfect Sunday over. Everything else is free time. But honestly, just give me a couple hours to really peruse the Aldi Middle Is therapeutic. Even I go in there a couple of times a week and I always look up and dial

down every bit of the middle aisle. It's a problem. And everything we've ever bought from it has been crap. I'm still drawn in. Chinese takeaway at the end of day. Nice. And Indiana Jones on the telly. Why not?

Oh, Indiana Jones specifically. Yeah. And his Jones. Thank you. What are you, Peter? I'd probably, like, wake up and maybe have a, like, a bacon sandwich delivered from, or just magically made for me, one or the other. I don't want to have to make it myself.

but so either you know get some kind of uber eats bacon sandwich and then maybe i would either go and do something like you mike like walk in the woods or maybe go for what my family like to refer to as a mooch go for a mooch around maybe like a nice little market town somewhere go into some of like a nice nice book shop have that sensation they have in japan where they want to shit their pants. Oh, yes. Go to like a nice cafe for lunch. And then, yeah, probably I'd want to eat in, I think, in the evening.

So I just have a nice, nice wander round, maybe tea and cake in the afternoon, go home. And, yeah, probably get some kind of takeaway and just watch, watch memes or something. You know, it's just kind of simple pleasures, but that's all I need in life. Oh, you need? Yeah. How about you, Ben? I would get up at a reasonable time. find it impossible to have a lie in these days. I just can't, I can't do it. Like, physically I'm

incapable. I will wake up and then I'm awake. And as is always the curse, when it's a day off, the last thing you want to do is stay in bed most times. Your body is way more capable and willing to get up and do things, which is really weird. So I'd probably get up and maybe go for for an early morning walk somewhere and that would maybe be out obviously out in wilderness somewhere not too far though and not for too long either

get home late morning and then I like my alcohol and I enjoy it obviously consume it in moderation but then maybe I settle in you know all the blinds are closed

the world is dead to me have a wank Have a waddle of vodka or a wank A posh way And then Maybe I don't know what I'd have for lunch Something, like Mikey to be honest Maybe pick something up from the from the Aldi

I love making sandwiches It's a rare treat I never do it It's so simple But that's always a sign of a good Sunday I think where I make sandwiches So yeah That's one of life speaks pleasures

And then I'd sit down on the sofa In the dark And just watch TV play video games, get drunk. Maybe have a bath at some point as well would be nice. Watch some TV in the bath. Maybe drop some chips in the bath

and then eat them. Very controversial, seemingly, within our audience. And then it would also be takeaway time for sure. Just sort of pissed, but having a great time playing video games and hanging out with my fiance and then ordering way too much food

and then just going straight to bed. That's a good day. I have thought of one cheat answer as well potentially my perfect Sunday is it's Sunday it also happens to be the 25th of December and it's Christmas I just do at Christmas Yeah it's probably snowing and all my family are there

And yeah that I mean it feels like cheating but It's your dream Sunday It's your perfect Sunday Peter I think it's whatever you want it to be I'm still keeping with going to Aldi to a shop though well we move on then to sodan art who says would you trade a foot of height to master any skill if so what skill i i'd disappear altogether wouldn't i think oh man that's a really tough one actually

because i could change my life i could change the world but i'd be a little bit shorter is it a worthy trade off hmm i feel like I'm like one of the only things that I have going for me is my height. It's one of my defining characteristics. And there are plenty of people who are taller than me as well. I don't think I'd be willing to give up height to better myself. I'm not really looking to better myself. If anything, I'm looking to get worse.

I'd gain more height for fewer skills. Yeah, I think I would. I'd lose, like, sacrifice a bit of my brain to be a bit taller. I refuse to better myself in any way. So my answer is no. I think my answer is no as well I don't think I would I mean you make a good point Mikey

that maybe it's a bit selfish to just refuse the mastery of a skill for the sake of a foot of height because you could you could change the world but you know what you're not going to be tall forever no and I do know people who are a foot shorter than me and they

obviously get along very well in life and I don't feel that they should be ashamed of being that height but equally yeah I think given the choice And, you know, I could, in theory, I could master a number of skills by putting the graft in. But I couldn't put the graft in to get shorter or taller if I wanted to. I think, actually, I would say yes, make me a foot smaller, but make me like the world's best DJ or something.

Because that's a job you can do standing on top of a box behind a platform. Yeah, well, that could also be your gimmick that it's Tiny Mikey, and it's the world's best DJ. Yeah, Tiny Mike can see this guy. there you go yeah if anything maybe you should give up more height just to like

really lean into the yeah get the gimmick yeah well it's like what's small before it becomes scary small

it'll be like a mouse man running around that's I want people be fair they'll stand on me foot and a half

I'll go down to a foot and a half foot and a half tall that's a good height yeah it's a good height yeah yeah

brave if I was to do it though I think it would definitely be a trade it would be stuff that I currently have to

pay out of pocket to bring someone in to fix for me So either plumbing or general handiwork, just being very handy around the house with, like, painting and decorating and stuff, which, you know, I can do. But also, I'm terrified. I'm going to get it wrong at all times. Something like that.

I spent six hours painting one wall the other week, and it was just this, it's the scariest thing you'll ever do. Painted bright orange as well. It was like, if you fuck up, which we did, it got on you the walls a little bit. It's just, oh, yeah, I want to be good at that. I want to not fear simple. household tasks. If I had to. And DJ.

If I had to, then yeah, I would, what would I pick? Maybe pick just, it's not really a, I guess it's in a way, it's a skill, but it's more of a trait. Like, I wish I was just a, I'm always in awe of and jealous of people who are just completely driven. Like they're just constantly motivated to do whatever, like whether it's working out or like, you know, reading constantly. or just doing all their chores instantly.

As soon as something needs doing, like no procrastination, anything like that. I just wish I always had the drive and the motivation to do stuff if that sort of counts as a skill, which it doesn't. I think so. I think it does. Supreme motivation. I'll ask one more question.

This is from Callum's story who says, would you go to Jurassic Park if it was real, what would you be most excited to see? When we say if it was real, do we just mean the existence of a dinosaur park rather than the one where it constantly goes wrong? Because if it goes wrong. If I knew about various things that had happened there,

I don't think I would go. Just like I won't go back to Thorpe Park. It's not safe, right? It's dangerous. No. It's, yeah, it is a bit dangerous. But if someone just said, hey, we've, we've, like, done some cloning. It's like, Alton Towers. It's like, it's been going for years. Oh, we got a disc in the newspaper.

They've got two foreign tickets. Do you want to go this weekend? Bam. Sure. I'd love to see dinosaurs. I mean, you know, zoos can be a bit sad anyway unless they're, like, really, really, like, well done. And it's about the conservation and the welfare of the animals. So, again, a lot of caveats.

But, sure, I'd love to see some dinosaurs in person. Yeah. I think I'd want to go to see a pterodactyl. They've always been... The flying dinosaurs, they're the best ones, I think, at least. Scariest. Yeah, I agree. I like those ones, too.

Yeah, I'd absolutely go to Jurassic Park. Yeah, even if it was the dangerous one that went wrong all the time, I'd 100% go to Jurassic Park. Can you imagine? That'd be incredible. A water way to gobbled up by a waterway to go. Stegasaurus. I'd love to be a statistic, man.

One of my main goals in life. It gives me a nice little... opportunity to mention this fun anecdote that I went to go and see a punk band called Clittersaurus and it was loud and aggressive and very weird and I just wanted to do I didn't know how else to bring that up since we're talking about dinosaurs I thought maybe now clitorisor maybe now's the time because when I went to the GP about my my bite parked in the car park next to me there was a car with an air freshener in it that was a dinosaur like a cartoon dinosaur and underneath it just said

contosaurus. Brilliant. I don't know what the context was. I took a photo. I'll put it in the chat, but we can move on and you'll see the photo in a minute. Very cute. Yeah, I should stress,

before anyone tries to bond with me over punk music, I don't like punk music. Don't message me about punk music. I'm not interested in it. But I sort of, there was an opportunity to see them and they were playing in a tiny little club and I thought, that would be funny.

Yeah. Let's go and see Clitosaurus. And now you've got your money's worth out of the chip. It's podcast content now, baby. There it is. Got two sentences out of it, so it's all worth it. I'm surprised you're able to find them, to be honest. Wahe.

We're hey, right? Lads, lads, lads. We've got, there are fucking loads more questions that we've not had time for. Thank you everyone who submitted those and apologies that we didn't get through them all. Do keep an eye out in the future when we next remember that we can do this. and that's my thing brilliant so is it my turn now

yeah well while I'm doing my turn can someone add a photo it's the various sycamore gap photos to the thread because I've just gone to add cuntasaurus and I realize I'm gonna get ahead of ourselves

we're a bit behind yeah okay so some of you who follow hey chance for another plug who follow Ben's live streams at Confused underscore Dude on Twitch Will be aware of this Michael Johnston you may or may not be aware of this

And many other listeners may or may not be aware of this But recently I was I was having me tea And my tea I don't know what I had for my tea Probably garlic and chips And my wife was out She's out all the time now

She does like flipping Pilates Ponchas Pilates all the time And yoga and stuff She's going out like, you know, again, driven, motivated, doing things with her life. And I'm sitting at home, not doing those things. So I was amusing myself by scrolling Reddit while eating food, which feels a bit apocalyptic or dystopian, but I did it anyway. And while I'm just scrolling through subreddit that I am subscribed to, logged in on my

account, because I'm always logged in on my account, I just glanced up at the top of the app and realized, oh, how have you? Hang on, I'm, I'm, uh... Sorry, sorry, I just realized, I forgot to copy the pictures to the threads, and I just paste in the words, Barton in the beans. Okay, I've also realized that I'm doing the wrong thing. I should be doing my list and submit thing, but never mind, here we go, I'm going to carry on. I started, so you should finish, and I've just realized what you're about, you're about

to talk about as well. I glanced up to the top of the app that I'm scrolling on, that I'm logged in on, that I'm logged in and realize, hang on, what's it with my profile picture? That's not, what's that? And I clicked on it and zoomed in on it, and they realized, that's a, that's a sort of pretty lady. My profile picture is a pretty lady. What's happened here?

And it became apparent that someone had hacked my Reddit account, but not changed the password or logged me out remotely. So I was just logged in on this hacked account that they had changed the picture of. and they changed a lot of other things on as well. So here's some of the stuff I've gathered from my time as an only fan's sex bot on ready. Okay, all right. Stories of an only fan's sex robot.

Yes, I'm also desperately scrolling through our DMs on Discord, Ben, because I did send you the profile picture of the lady when we were alive on your stream. And maybe a Yeah, if you could do me a solid and find that I'll have a look Just so Mikey can see it I really want to see the lady

So I'll tell you the bio The bio said I may And then there was a cherry emoji I don't know if that means maybe I don't know if that's like code for virgin Or not But cherry emoji

19 and dangerously clingy Oh whoa That's maybe that's appealing not sure. Puppy eyes emoji. And then the words ginger hair, pale skin and always online

for your attention. Find me on OnlyFans. And then there was a link in my account, like you can add a website or a link to your profile. So I do actually have the username

of the OnlyFans account that I was promoting. I don't know whether to say it. I probably won't, but it's there. got it. It's Gandum, isn't it? It's, yeah, it's only, only fans slash gandum.

There, I've got it. So I, uh, I was then panicking thinking like, oh my God, has my account been like posting loads of like not safe for work stuff? Maybe in, in like, subredits that I shouldn't be posting that stuff. Because obviously there are account, there are subredits where you can just post that stuff. And, you know, I wouldn't be breaking any rules. But I'm like, am I going to get banned for? from Reddit any minute now because I've been posting stuff.

So I went to check my posts and my account had made posts in four different subredits which I think were all just unsurprisingly photos from this girl's only fan's account. I have the name of three of the subs that I had posted in. R slash pale girls because she is of course ginger hair pale skin and always online for your attention. Of course. Yeah, indeed. R slash Great View, which I didn't actually, I should have investigated these subs more

because I was intrigued as to whether that was meant to be for sexy views or if it was just for like, you know, the Sycamore Gap or something. Yeah, Sycambe or something. R slash great view. There was R slash something that I didn't even understand what it was and I've not actually written it down. And weirdest of all, I think,

R slash gusset Gusset That's a thing A gusset for those who don't know Is I think the sort of Between vagina and bottom Area of a lady's underwear of a lady's underwear

The sort of the very Geographical bottom of a Of like stockings or Pants That's my understanding anyway then I realized that in response to my account which is still called by the way

like I'm not actually sure my it's like super dark or super dark videos or something yeah with this with this picture of the lady after posting in these subredits people have taken the bait and this was the thing that I found most interesting is that there are actual gooners out there

who will see these posts on these subs and their next move is to slide into the DMs of this person who is either a bot, it's not a real person and some of them at least should know that

or at best it's an only fan's genuine person who has an only fans and you know is it going to be a meaningful conversation even if you do get back some sweet nothing things like what are you getting out of this really but anyway as we'll see uh some of them were quite keen listener discretion is now advised oh no this is the dark science this is the weird

shit that weird men online send privately to people we sent peter to find out to be fair i think we've dropped the sea bomb several times in this podcast already so it can't get much worse in terms of language but it gets misogynistic is is the main thing to be aware of here But here we go. So all of these conversations have been started by other people. So it's not the bot reaching out to people and getting a response. They have gone out of their way. They've messaged me.

And the first one said, Hi, baby. I had replied. And again, I'm assuming this is a bot and not the person actually who owns the only fans account. We'll never know. But my reply was, Hi, sweetie.

They came back. Is that you and your profile? And I didn't reply. And that was it. There was no response from me. I said it when you told me that when it happened that you should have put your PayPal link

Hey are you into financial domination because give me your credit card details So that was one conversation There was another one Weird opening line here from somebody Who messaged me and said Hey nerd Maybe they were just messaging SuperD

They're aggressive isn't it They might not have realized I'd been hacked by the sexpot my reply was hi babe and they came back and said hey you have a really big but and that was it rude naughty weird no response from me the next one then well the next three are bad so I'll leave the long before you do the next one do you think there's a chance that actually these replies these messages are actually coming from bots as well like this is two this

This is dead internet theory in action. It could be. It could be dead internet. But yeah. I mean, I don't know. I think maybe these ones I'm about to do are too horrible to, I don't see what a bot would get out of being like this with either a real person or another bot. But those that I've just read, like just essentially saying, hey, hello, that might be someone trying to kind of solicit attention from someone and scam them. I don't know.

But I had received a message from someone who said. and this is so like fedora coded it's really bad oh goodness a perfect little doll with no one playing with it disgusting disgusting it gets so much worse

there's a lot of this one that just can't be don't worry I will take good care of you I will make sure that perfect little slutty body of yours doesn't go to waste you do want to serve don't you you want to be

this is the bad bit you want to be a good little whore for me I just know it I was really into that and my response was yes daddy I want to be yours oh all right we're off the race

goodness me but then they had a real a moment of lucidity and they said you're just trying to sell aren't you a real slut does it for free that is wild what a real right turn

I know, going from the almost milady kind of white night thing. No, you're just selling. So there we go. Two more. Okay. I had a message from someone who said, would love to use those giant milkers. If anyone wants to send me any milker, they can do to my PO box.

Fantastic. That would be, what a brilliant Mr. Bean movie that would be when it turns out that he's really into milker. And he gets in a right mixer. But strangely, the response from my hacked account was simply ha ha ha. So I don't know if they're laughing at them or with them or what. The worst one never even got through. I found it in like a held for offensive content thing.

in a way it's not much worse than calling me a good little whore but someone called affectionate gas I'm naming and shaming there were some numbers after their name so I've not fully named and shamed but affectionate gas was not very affectionate because they simply said I want to fuck you until you squirt on me oh okay

come on now be nice no gentleman like yeah not very gentlemanly at all is it no at any point did you you reply with the only fans link? No, no, it didn't reply at any point. The link was in my slash her bio, but

yeah, I guess, yeah, there was just a gentle reply, cute. Yeah. You've got a treasure trove you found yourself in. I know. Ben has found the profile picture there. There she is. And that's it. That's what happened.

And then I just bit by bit, deleted stuff, blocked people, you know, got rid of all the posts that I'd posted, changed my profile picture back. I then had to, about a week later, Reddit message me and said, oh, there's some weird stuff going on on your account. Can you just do your password for us, please? And that was it. And it's all sorted now. So that was my little foray into the...

Well, when me and Ben were talking about this on his stream, we both sort of use the phrase. It's interesting seeing that from the other side, like from the side of the only fans person. but the wording of that implies that we we the two of us have been on the other side no no that's absolutely not what we were getting at but yeah it is interesting seeing it from from within as it were so that's that was my little adventure as a as a sexy bot sexy bot wow welcome back to the to god's embrace thank you yeah i felt i had to have a good old shower after that one to clean myself off not to calm myself down No, of course. A hot shower, not a cold one. Wow.

I'd love to. This is a little bit of local Bristol history that I learned a little bit more about the last couple of weeks, which was quite fun. I think I read about this story. years and years ago and kind of fobbed it off as hogwash

all a load of bollocks that came back into my life the week well that sounds dramatic I just found an article about it on the internet I was like oh there is truth of this

so let's find out a little bit about the story of Sarah Anne Henley the woman who jumped from Clifton Suspension Bridge and miraculously lived to tell the tale

Oh my God that is high up it's a big ass bridge uh it's is genuinely kind of like miracle material it's such an interesting little story um so yeah sarah was in get this all takes place in like yeah 1885 or thereabouts um so it's like old school as well this is before cars can you imagine that mad before cars that's what bc stands before cars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And AD, of course, after diesel, I think. Sarah was engaged to a porter on the Great Western Railway. They had a turbulent relationship and argued constantly, sadly. And a couple of days before the famous incident, a few words

between the pair led to her storming into his workplace, haranguing his foreman about what a rogue he was and basically going on like I could get dozens of other men better than him what is he to me after a particularly bad argument sort of causing a bit of a brew ha ha hey he's done it very good yes a brew

ha ha ha and as a result of this outburst embarrassing the man the porter wrote her a letter breaking off the engagement which I think maybe fair enough I don't know all the details here I don't know what the fight was about but maybe It's a time good for each other, regardless.

Yeah, it's time to call it quits. When Sarah's father learned of this letter, he punched the young man on the nose. Good, healthy. How dare he try and break up with my daughter? Stay with her. But on Thursday the 7th of May, 1885, neighbors noticed Sarah was looking depressed in spirits, sadly.

She was seen in her street at 11 a.m. on Friday the 8th of May, and just after midday, Sarah rushed to end her life by the fearful leap from the suspension bridge. The inspector for the Clifton suspension bridge reported that Sarah had climbed over the railings and onto the parapet before anyone could reach

her she had thrown herself off. That is serious stuff. That is a big fucking fall. But fate had a twist of fate in mind. Just as when she jumped, she was wearing a big giant fucking skirt.

It's the best way I can describe it. It's a skirt with scaffolding kind of thing. Okay. Okay. As it says here, as was the style of the time, she was wearing a Crinolian shirt, a skirt, which is like,

it's literally like a skirt with like a wooden webbing inside of it, to make it big and hold its shape. Yeah. And so she jumped off head first and slowly turned so her feet were facing down and a gust of air blew up into her skirt. It sounds like bullshit But genuinely

The gust of wind And that's the shape of the skirt Helps slower down enough And blew her off course She actually fell somewhat gently In the mud banks on the side of the river Rather than directly into the middle of the water Oh my gosh

Absolutely amazing It sounds bonkers It was in newspapers at the time And the people said this is what they saw So I believe them Here is a Just slowly levitating down from the bridge Yeah, pretty much, yeah, like Mary Poppins.

Yeah, that's amazing. This is a quote from a newspaper article at the time. A rather high wind was blowing, and the woman's dress offered a good deal of resistance to it. It not only materially checked the rapidity of her descent, but instead of falling vertically, she was carried to the Gloucestershire bank, where she fell on the mud almost in a sitting position. The mud yielded freely, and the woman straightened out to full length, sank some distance into it

so I think she just went into the mud right Peter yes that is a hell of a that's a hell of a dress holy moly I think that's a much bigger one than all the other pictures I'm seeing

I've picked the largest possible I mean that is a parachute dress if I've ever seen one before so yes so look at by some miracles she landed in the thick mud during a low tide two passengers two passes by sorry

rush to her assistance pulling her out and taking her to the refreshment rooms of a nearby railway station where brandy was sent for, it says here. Get the brandies, what was it in pain? The emergency, hospital brandy. The good stuff. That used to be a thing, right?

It was like in mountain ranges you get like the big dogs that put a little barrel around the name. Is that actually true? Is that one of those things? It probably is true. I think they still do it, don't they? And it does, it like warms you. It's probably, there's probably some medicinal purpose.

But yeah, it warms you up. up for something. There you go. Next time I'm in hospital, ask for brandy. Oh no. Google AI, so it must be true. The iconic image of a St. Bernard dog

wearing a brandy barrel is a myth originating from a painting by Sir Edwin Lansier. What? Oh. Bullets. Maybe that's just the image of it, though. Like, it could still be that, I'm sure it was still given to people.

Yeah, just it wasn't delivered by St. Bernard. Terrible. Oh, well, either way, maybe it wasn't at St. Bernard this time, but Brandy was sent for. And in came a doctor who insisted that she be escorted to the Bristol Infirmary. There's a little bit more of the story. After plummeting from a high distance and surviving, she had a pretty weird journey to the hospital. So yeah, she was conscious, able to state her name and the dress, so by all means, still functioning. At that point, it made her the only person to ever survive.

have to fall from that bridge. There's also a very impressive work. So, the detective on the scene requested for a local cabman to take her to the hospital. So I think back in 1865, a cabman would have been a horse-drawn carriage or just a man with a wheelchair, a bucket. It was BC, wasn't it? A man with it. A wheelbarrow and get hop in love, I'll take you there.

Yeah. Yeah, so the detective asked this cabman to take it. to the hospital, but he refused because she was too dirty. Well, she probably was, but... I mean, she'd probably caked in mud, but by God. The police officer argued with the man and even offered payment, saying Sarah might die if she wasn't treated urgently. The cabby reportedly replied, I don't care and left the scene.

Ouch. But luckily, she was able to get to the hospital anyway. Because there was a big gust of wind. Woof, away. Carried her off to Gloucester. Even better than that, maybe. Two policemen went to the local police station and grabbed, like, oh, what are they called a stretcher,

loaded her on the stretcher and jogged for a mile an hour with her to the nearest hospital, which could not have been a very comfortable journey. Sorry, love, we're almost there. That's mad. but yeah she got there surgeons like kept her in overnight

she was in a weak condition but no bronze were broken and she was doing quite well all things considered and while recovering in the hospital

the story of her misfortune very quickly spread around the area and suddenly lots and lots of proposals for marriage and fame

were offered to this poor woman which is interesting I don't know what kind of I mean I guess we've got an insight to that

in your Reddit inbox there Peter but what kind of of man sends a letter to a woman in hospital he's having a bad time like i could be your husband i could i could i could i could be the one for you um my lady yes yeah just written just like that message um not just men looking for marriage and love also showmen were interested in her one offered her a contract of 400 pound plus a share of profits of the tour and another

approached her father with an offer of a thousand pounds i've got no idea what the show is here what do you what do you tour with I think some of these this is obviously a quote not a nice phrase

but the the so called freak shows of the time I mean traditionally the image that you have is people with

either like you know covered in tattoos or maybe they have some issue they were born with but I think sometimes

they would just have people who had a story to tell so they probably would have paid her to say yeah I jumped off

a bridge and I live and, you know, try and make it as exciting as possible. The amazing woman who survived the drop from the suspension bridge. Yeah, come see the amazing flying woman or something, and she just sits there and chats to people. Yeah. But sadly, she declined all those offers for marriage and for showmanship.

She went on and lived a pretty normal life. She did go on to remarry a couple of years later and lived the ripe old age of 85. Wow. Weirdly, she's buried around the corner from my house, pretty much, which was a nice surprise. I tried to go visit the grave, but there's no tombstone on it. It's sadly just a patch of grass now. But, yeah, that's the story of Sarah, who fell and was swept up to safety from the suspension bridge.

I want to try and jump off something, not a bridge, but something like two chairs stacked on top of each other with one of those dresses to see if it... I think we hurt a lot I think it's going to hurt you Probably yeah Yeah You could go in one of those Indoor Skydiving Tube

See what happens You'd hit the ceiling Probably Straight into the blades Yeah Alright That's it All right that's the next video

On the channel Get ready It's just you In one of those tube Mr Wonka Turn it off Turn it off Hit the ceiling

Done Lovely All right There you go That's a fun of Bristol-tail fear, which is, I'm, well, she definitely survived the fall from the bridge. Maybe it might not have been as miraculous as it sounds, but it takes a miracle to survive that, I think.

So, I think, yeah, big gust of wind, and she just slowly fell to the legs. Yeah, and nice to know that she then lived for so long, like, I'm sure that, you know, as life went on, she was very, very pleased that she'd ended up surviving. Yeah, yeah, well, well done, well done. thank you boys that is my thing thank you mike that's great um so ben it's now your turn to do whichever thing you've not done uh your listeners submit listen to submit now i hope that my the video and the audio seemed to be fine but the web page that had that article on from i believe the mirror was so it had an advert that was so disruptive that it was causing my entire

pc to freeze as i was scrolling down the page as the advert tried to keep up with, it was one of those full page ad adverts. So now I'm going to open it on in a browser where I have ad blocker on and that's much better. So actually no, sorry, this is from Wales Online and I believe this was submitted by, Peter sent this to me earlier, let me just double check. River Fox, I think, on Discord. That's the one, yes. Thank you to River Fox for this. Wales Online written by Jason Evans, Court and Crime Reporter. The headline says, Silent Man, who has spent a decade repeatedly blocking traffic, does it again. Jesus.

You ready to learn about Silent Man, the world's least interesting superhero? A man who has spent more than a decade repeatedly standing in the middle of a busy road until he is arrested and then remaining silent has done it again. Just a month after being jailed... He does have the right to remain silent. He does, and he does do it. Just one month after being jailed for his last road blocking offence. David Hampson always chooses the same spot for his action,

namely the junction outside Swansea Central Police Station in the middle of Swansea. After being arrested for obstructing the highway, the 55-year-old refuses to engage with police officers, lawyers, doctors, court staff, judges, and probation staff, and the reasons for his behaviour remain unknown. Over the last 10 years, the defendant has sat through multiple trials to determine whether he can talk and is simply choosing not to, or whether there is some psychological or physical issue preventing him from speaking. In legal terms, to determine whether he is mute of malice, or mute by visitation of God. The two terms.

And trials to determine whether he is guilty to... And trials, sorry, to determine whether he is guilty to standing in the road. Hampton refuses to enter pleas to any charge, refuses to call any evidence in his defence, and has always remained silent throughout the trials, usually just looking down at the floor of the dock when asked a question. Hmm. Interesting. Swansea Magistrates Court heard the latest defence happened on June the 19th this year

when Hampson stood in the middle of Delabesh Street outside Swansea Central Police Station blocking the traffic until he was arrested. From that point of arrest, he refused to speak. Nice. So it continues, but it's basically, he's been doing it since 2014. Jeez.

Outside the police station as well. He really wants to get caught, seemingly. And he just won't speak to anyone. So no one knows. But it does then describe him as David Hampson, and of no fixed abode. So he's a bit of an enigma, really. He might just be a deeply troubled man.

But no one knows. It sounds like it. It sounds like it, but I thought I saw somewhere that it was determined that he was mute by malice, as in he's, but maybe, I don't know, maybe I've, maybe I misread that.

I thought somewhere it said that. Okay, I've got it here. All right. So, skipping ahead a bit. the defendant remained silent during his appearance at the higher court in May 22 and refused to talk when asked to enter a plea, meaning a not guilty plea was recorded on his behalf and the matter went to trial in July. Before the jurors could decide whether Hampson had obstructed the highway or not, they had to determine whether he was mute of malice or mute by visitation of God.

That is, whether he could speak and was choosing not to, or whether there was some physical or other issue which was preventing him from speaking. After hearing evidence from prison officers who said the defendant had spoken to them while he was an inmate at HMP-Swansy, The jury found that he was mute of malice and subsequently found that he did carry out the act of blocking the road and breaching his criminal behaviour order. So following the jury's findings, the judge ordered the psychiatric report into Hampson in the hope it would cast some light on his behaviour

and suggest possible help that he could be offered. However, the defendant refused to speak to the court-appointed doctor so no interview could take place. It's interesting that actually they just sort of, at a certain point, seemingly they just throw up their hands and say, well, we can't do anything for this man. because he simply will not cooperate in any manner. I wonder if, I mean, this is a great remark for our comedy podcast,

but I wonder if he is of no fixed abode, maybe he's, because I've sometimes thought, you know, if I was having a really miserable time on the street, if I had nowhere to go, I might be tempted to just go and continually steal a loaf of bread until I at least got like a roof over my head and a warm meal in a holding sense. You know what I mean?

Not a nice thought, but maybe that's what he's doing. That's why he's going outside the police station all the time. But then he wouldn't have to remain silent. He could still just say, yeah, like, please lock me up. It's easier just to not say anything because you don't have to say anything. If you're going to keep doing it, you just, it's the same routine every time. Yeah. It's a tough position to be in.

I found an article from The Sun, if you want maybe a little bit more insight into his psyche about why does it. Okay. His brother, John, said it was just a ploy to get free meals and a roof over his head. Oh, well, yeah. He said, he's not really mute. He never stops talking. It's quite simple, really. He's a spoiled brat.

Oh, God. Jesus. John, be nice about you, brother. This whole article is so carefully put together about, is he mute? Is he like, let's see. It says here something about they were, after the hearing. Judge Hugh Rees said there may well be social stresses involved in Hampson's decision to speak, that he could have for a report from the doctor,

and the medic concluded that though Hampson's mutism was selective and deliberate, there may be social or financial stresses that contributed to his decision not to talk. But then his brother just says, I mean, the classic, the sun headline, the first words in it are roadblock brat. Right. So I think that's more reflection of the sun than anything, I think. It is. probably interesting. Weird story though. It is. Yeah, very interesting. I assume the police

known at this point is right, picking up getting last. We've seen him. He's in the middle of the road again. Just, just, just, they can probably see the queue outside the window. Like, oh, the traffic's backing up. That brat will be out there again, right? Out the police station with their cars or anything. But yeah, yeah, really, really bizarre. And he, he's going to be in prison, I believe, for six months, but he'll only potentially serve half of that. Then the rest will be. community stuff. But if he doesn't talk, what kind of community stuff can they get him? I don't know.

I just, I don't know. I imagine we may have a follow-up to this relatively soon. Yeah, I'm curious. Yeah, maybe. If he goes back out again. But that is my listener submitted thing. Fascinate. Thank you.

Which simply leaves my listener submitted thing, but it's quite fitting really that I got a bit mixed up because my listener submitted thing was also a thing I was tempted to bring along myself, which is then, you guys may remember it was announced I think earlier this year that the Dave best joke of the fringe award would no longer be taking place tragic however that has not stopped multiple oh my god now this changes everything I was about to say it's not stopped multiple other newspapers doing their own sort of top 10 jokes of the

fringe, which is true. I have brought along an article with a bunch of jokes in it. However, Beardy Sammas, who sent a related story on Blue Sky, has got a link here saying Andy Gleeks wins Dave Joke of the Fringe 2025 British Comedy Award. Okay, it's not that. It's actually the some guy called Dave joke of the Fringe 2020. So someone has made a joke version of the award. Regardless, I've got 10 jokes here to read from The Fringe. So here we go. Andy Gleeks wins some guy called Dave Joke of the Fringe 2025.

This is according to comedy.com.uk.uk. And there's a bit of an article, a bit of a write-up, but I'm just going to go straight to the jokes. It's tradition at this point. You know what you're signing up for. in fact you're not signing up for it I will be doing this there is no choice

I'm going to read these jokes in the best possible presentation style possible i.e. the worst so I'm not sure if these are going in which direction okay yeah so number 10

right this is by Andy Gleeks who won as well I used to hate darts but recently I've done a real 180 it's one of those where it's like i get it yeah yeah that's a good joke i get it i get it yeah uh number nine comes from amanda hersey i had a i had a one-night

stand and in the morning we went to starbucks i had to find out his name right that's pretty good that's better than the last one we are moving up in quality we are like the different is that's not really a one-liner. That's like a silly scenario, isn't it? Like, oh, didn't know his name, so I had to go get coffee so that he'd say his name out loud. Number eight comes from Bert Williamson. My mum often comments on my weight, but in her defence, in the time she's known me, I've put on nearly 16 stone. I really like that one. You like that one. Yeah, I think that one's better again another improvement i can only imagine that these get better and better until we're all just rolling around on the floor when we get to the top of ribs we're getting there yeah

number seven is by ian smith people who say bath bombs are relaxing have clearly never tried to carry one home in the rain yeah okay is that joke it's like yeah if you carried it it would i mean but it It wouldn't dissolve immediately. No. Sorry to be the joke police here, but that's... Okay. Jacob Nussie, as in I'm putting my whole Jacob Nussie into it, gave us joke number six.

Last night, I had a really lot... Sorry, let's get this right. Last night, I had a really boring dream. I slept right through it. Fuck off. Next joke. Oh, I quite like that one. Did you like it?

Yeah, maybe smile. Maybe like... Oh, okay. Yeah, I didn't feel that one. Didn't feel that one. It's fine. Comedy's got, you know, comedy's... Everyone has different tastes.

I think that was good. I get a solid, gentle smirk in the audience if I was there hearing over you that joke a lot. I like chuckle. Yeah. Number five is from Dean Cochlin, I think. I just had my dog chipped. Now I can play my old PlayStation games on it. Right.

I mean, that's made for me, isn't it? Yeah, that's a good joke. That is good. But also quite niche as well. Yeah. Most of the crowd aren't going to get that. No, yeah. There's not going to be a whole room laughing at that.

People who laugh, they laugh, and that's a good intent. That's a clever one, yeah, I like it. The next one, the funniest thing about it is the guy's name, which is Dickie Richards, which is not just two first names. Dicky Dick. It's the same name. I'm not one to brag Oh it's even a dick joke as well

We're really going Dixception here I'm not one to brag about the size of my willy But I've just been charged with decent exposure That's all right It's quite good Joke number three The top three now

This comes from Dave Bibby Who says I wrote a time travel joke but you didn't like it that's good i like that it's clever it is clever i didn't like that one weirdly mike didn't like it well he was correct i just found that one annoying okay what's next number two number two's a bit of a growner but it's kind of it's quite good in its own way kevin o'brien said the oldest profession is actually the djay they've been around since records began.

Oh, okay. Yeah. Bit of a groaner, but that's good. That is good. Full stop. Yes, it is good. It's decent. Yeah, okay. And the number one joke comes from our number 10 as well, Andy Gleeks.

This one, the some guy called Dave joke of the year, fringe joke of the year. I had to visit the trauma unit last weekend. he prefers the term dad that's the best joke could we not have done any better than that no I mean there were jokes in that list that were better we did better than that yeah

I mean again I get it but like that's that's less funny than many of the other I get it jokes that we just heard yeah Dave's an idiot tell us the joke about the dog being chipped that's a good one yeah do more PlayStation humor and that's it

that is the annual anti-climatic an underwhelming anti-climatic list I'm so glad I never go to the fridge oh god I'm glad you managed to bring it back but good God it is a bit of crap

it is isn't it I found so before I saw that that had been submitted to us I had a different article up so as I say various different like websites and newspapers did their own list and I've pulled this one up now

I'll just I'll give you a couple more of these as well Andrew Docherty said At my lowest I was kicked out of the museum for being inappropriate with Michelangelo's David I'd hit rock bottom Nice Cool cool cool cool Here's a really bad one

This is from the Guardian's list by the way, they're top 10 or top 13, I think. Rob Orton did a joke. Everyone is worried about AI. I'm more concerned with what the other vowels are up to. Is that a joke? It's not even a joke. It's just...

No. Yeah, words are made out of letters and you're just doing an alphabet. Like, that's nothing. The Bathbomb joke made it into the Guardians list as well. and maybe these three are the quote unquote best of this list I mean some of them are growners but we've got Amelia Hamilton who said I love getting Latin chat up lines

I carpe every DM Boo Yeah it's a boo but it's it's got thought behind it Someone called Sikisa just one word like share, said, This spider has been in my house so long it should pay half of the Wi-Fi. As a web developer, it can afford to.

These jokes, without Phil, are the kind of jokes that we say to each other under our breath in the moment because they're bad. Yeah. And you sort of pull a gurning face down the camera and Peter will say, oh, very good, or something like that.

And then we move on. And this is, people have paid. money to watch people do these jokes. We laughed hysterically at the top five jokes, top five Christmas songs that can be improved by adding the word spudge buckets. He did. So we may not be the best judges to be fair. No, that's not the point I was making. I was saying we've seen much better than this in children's joke books. That's what I say. Yes. We have. We have. One more. It's not necessarily the best of this list, but it's kind of up there compared to some of the the rubbish. Chris Grace did a joke. I went on a date with a matador, but there were too many red

flags. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah, that's a selection from the Guardians list that I was originally going to bring. But thank you very much, Beardy Sammas, for bringing that to my attention. The, uh, thank you. The rip-off Dave award there. Um, and that's it. Furch bucket. Still makes me laugh. Fudge bucket. It's so good. Comedy gold. They posted us laughing at it on their Instagram.

and especially Ben Cooper for making it like original music for every single wrestler. It's literally comprised of vidiates in references, among others. So we've got Michael Jugson, we've got Fanny Craddock, we've got Palmeusek, there is, of course, Dick Mycinko, Brian Butterfield's in there, Dave Benson Phillips, Neil Buchanan. It's insane. Absolute Matt. Billy Ray's in there. All three of us are in there now. Michael, you made your debut this week on Ben XT. Oh, hell yeah. And so, and your entrance music is your dog rap, so which is pretty right. So it's absolute insanity. And one thing that I thought we were going to play, but may actually

end up being played perhaps next episode, is the entrance music for Michael Juggson, because Ben Cooper put together basically, his entrance music is basically a remix of the garlic and chips. video that we all love and it's incredible and I thought perhaps that was what was going to play us out this week but I think Peter you've put something else in there well so this is more fresh

this is like this has been the first opportunity we could have played this because on the 31st of July in the vineyard's chat Ben Cooper posted a country and western song called Caroline Why Did You Leave Me and it is from the perspective

of Caroline's ex-husband Are they divorced yet? I don't know. Ex-partner. We don't know. Singing along. It is really good. So I don't know which to play out now.

Well, what's that? Mikey, are we able to hear you through your microphone? Are you listening to this? I just heard it's coming through your microphone. Did you hear just a little bit of Juxon there? Yeah. Yeah, I think it's coming through your mic in front. Yeah, I can hear that.

Stop doing. It comes to me there. No, why's he in the chat? I just, I had to go find Juxson just to look at him again. end and I didn't know what you can hear him. Is that coming through on your waveform, Mikey? Is that being captured? Oh, I've muted him.

I've got a joke soon. You're fucking mad at it. That's coming through my waveform. Yeah, great. Oh, my God. It's really alarming. It's like he's in the discord with us. You're right there, Michael?

You're proper off your tints out of it. Okay, I'll say. Sorry. Oh, God. It's exceptional. Okay. Well, God, what do you want to do then? Shit.

Listen, we should give them both the air time that they deserve, but we shouldn't play them at the same time. So maybe we do, Caroline, why did you leave me this week? And we'll do the Michael Juggson theme next week. Yes. Yeah, I hope you remember. I'm going to send it to you now so you can download it. Oh, yeah, because I met it in the next one as well.

There we are. That's with you now. Well, if we're playing out, you won't necessarily get, I don't think we can do our live reactions while the song plays. But, you know, it's for everyone else. listening pleasure. And I know what everyone's reaction will be. It will be laughter and applause. So, uh, okay. Bloody good song. Well done. Well done. Yeah. It's good. I can't wait to hear it. I'm going to have a listen to it in a second. Thank you, Ben Cooper for this.
