Can we just sing the song once through, stop recording and just upload that on its own? Yeah. They've been waiting that long. I think they would accept that. You're saying our audience is easy? Yeah.

She's an easy lover. Yeah, definitely. They're like putty in our hands. Welcome back to Podiat's. We own you. Yes, we do. You're ours. So when you say putty,

do you mean... Puddy? Yeah. When you say they're like putty in our hands. Yeah. silly putty or do you mean slime because I don't know anything about slime Michael Johnson this seems like something you would know a lot about I think putty is just firmer slime from my from my research slime is you know it's like that kind of

viscous is not right word but you know it's it fall through your fingers but putty that would that would just lie on top of your hand and would not be able to fall through yeah on the on the viscous to soft scale it goes putty slime paste, yoghut. Oh, yogget. You've got to have the yog factor. And then water.

So those are the five PhD thesis, right, on slime? Yeah, yeah, I spend, I think I got a commission from the government to spend like 10 grand on slime. Holy shit. I didn't even get... Well, that's why they hired him at yoghets cast, because he's qualified. Yes. Absolutely. It's only because I went past like a W.H. Smith that was a small one,

and half the window said, The home of slime! I was like, what the fuck is that? And why is W.H. Smith so proud of it? Slime peddlers. That's disgusting. Yeah, fucking slime peddlers. Jog on.

Yeah. Take your slime elsewhere. What have you got in that case? What have you got? Best be slime. Anything to declare, sir? I've got that fucking silly party around here. I've got that Afghan slime.

It's probably good. The worst kind. Or maybe the best. Yeah, I think it's worse for families, but best for individuals. It tears families apart, but my God. That's the new Harrybo's slogan, isn't it? Kids and grown-ups love it, so worse for families, but great for individuals.

Yeah, that's it. I'll tell you what, that's why they don't make any jelly babies in the shape of several, like a nuclear family. It's just individuals, isn't it? When you say a nuclear family, do you mean like a mutated sort of several faces all on one body? No, I mean the good Christian family. of a heterosexual male, a heterosexual woman, heterosexual woman, and two children, preferably one of each gender. You know, the only way, the good Christian God likes it.

Exactly. What's that? It only got one son. Ugh, disgusting. How is supposed to repopulate the earth with one son? Yeah, you're not going to continue your family line like that, are you? Yeah, you're slime peddler. You're big dumb, you big dumb Harrow-boy.

Oh, I got you there. I can't believe I'm still sat on my chair I've been knocked off Kevin Kevin can you roll the intro please Kevin's coming back He's just gone to the time Is Kevin at the worst times?

Yeah well Kevin's always at my I told you I own Kevin He's mine I don't know Do you want to borrow him? No but I didn't know Does he live there Or does he just come around

When he knows you're doing a podcast? He's just sort of like He's kind of ever present So right now he's oh hang on yeah he's just flushed the toilet and oh he's just floated through the wall yeah okay Kevin's here

so he just he doesn't really obey the laws of anything I'm fairly sure that why don't you give him a call see if you can get him to come to you Are you sure he's not is this a mongoose how can he go through the walls

well I can't see him because he's a freak I like to think Kevin doesn't even like have a cassette player to play the intro on it just emits from his body he's like a human speaker you haven't seen him I tell you what Michael

call him over to you now and you'll see what he does is he his eyes just go completely black like just pure black the blackest you've ever seen okay and then his jaw unhinges and just like falls all the way down limply and then the potty it's theme just plays out of it right i'll give him a shout now we'll see what happens okay okay Kevin yeah yeah the court the cord for the door 4822 yeah okay oh yeah he's coming he's come through the wall now oh yeah didn't even need the code No, he just, yeah, he just slips right through. Oh, he's jaw, yeah, it's wiggling.

It's, oh, there he can hear it. Oh, here we go. It's coming. Everyone will be quiet. It's happening, it's happening. Hello, everybody, and welcome to Poddiots, the official Vidiot's podcast. It's a conversational podcast where we take some questions from you at home and obey the laws of the three us, where everybody brings a thing along to talk about. I'm Ben. I'm Peter and hi Michael.

It's hard to do that over Discord. It's going to sync up in post. What you have to do is just commit to it and assume that it will be synced up in post. It's hard though. It's hard. It's just so confusing. Well, we did it and we're back. Hello.

Oh shit, yeah. Hello, everybody. You may have caught our little announcement thing that we put out the other week just saying, hey, we're coming back, et cetera, et cetera. Michael's still hard at work at the Yogs cast doing amazing video production things. Peter and I have got a new channel called Triple Jump

Again, all the links in the description and stuff If you want to go check those out But we're doing pottyets, we're back We're doing it once a fortnight And this just happens to be one of those fortnights You lucky, you lucky fuckers you I don't know if the helicopter going past my building Was just picked up

is this kind of like season two of potty it's much lower budget less loved season one where it starts going downhill you say lower budget but would you just get your ears around those microphones oh yeah listen to that base Michael and I are using

Blue Yeti microphones kindly supplied to us by Blue Yeti thank you very much Blue Yeti for giving us these lovely mics yeah they're delightful they've helped us to carry on doing this in our own free time because now equipment isn't necessarily supplied to us so it's nice to have the ability to do this stuff yeah a couple of quick things before we jump in my boys there's some new merchandise on the the yog store that's store dot yogscast dot com mickey's designed a couple of lovely new t-shirts as well as a couple of mugs one of them

featuring the artwork of the very talented niko hey who you will recognize as as having done the art for the amazing background for the Pottietz thing that we put on YouTube. It's all very good. It's all very good. So you can go check those out now if you'd like to buy some. I believe they'll be coming to the US Yogscar store as well. If you go to store.orgscast.com, there should be a big old US store button in the top right somewhere. And if you're in America, you might want to have a look at that.

Yes, you're not paying like $20 quid in postage. Yeah. It's worth it, though. You can also get a phone case, apparently. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't even know about that. Yeah, we just went on the store. I was like, oh, look at that.

We got a phone case. See if you want one of those. We also have a ladies VS1 shirt as well, which I didn't know existed. That's pretty cool. Wow. So all of you men out there, you can get a nice curvy shirt too to show off your figure. I'm right. It's really nice.

There's also a discount code, right? Yep. And that code is Vidiots. Nice and easy. That gives you 10% off everything on the whole store. Anything. You could buy Hot Films 1. a diggy diggy hole shirt that's good i i love that reference

Brilliant. Thank you, Peter. Yeah, you're welcome.

That's all. That's not actually all. Believe it or not. There is something special amongst the piles upon piles of goods available on eBay. There is an enormous canvas featuring Ben and I

kissing each cheek of Billy the Ray Walrus. And it's been signed and it's the one you may remember from the wall of the Vidiot's room back when we were the vidyots in the room that had the thing on the wall you know the vidyots from that room yeah the yellow room that's been painted over allegedly that's sad to it doesn't exist anymore gross and peace um seriously though it's there go buy it's it's a piece

of actual vidyots history uh it goes back even further than vidyates actually it goes back to the name redacted redundant days um and uh there's only one of those in the whole wide world So it's been signed You can buy it on eBay There'll be a link in the description On the YouTube version of this podcast And we'll tweet about it as well So go and give your money to us

For exchanging a canvas in your house areas Perfect We got a question guys Oh shit Oh it's been a while This first I don't know And they still, they want to know answers I think mainly the questions for this episode

Are going to be mostly Hey what are your plans? What's happening? Tell us, fill us in, all that kind of stuff. First question comes from a very handsome man. It's called Ben Potter. Oh, yeah, confused underscore dude on Twitter, who asks, can you tell the story of how you got Dave Benson Phillips to appear in your last video? I bet it was super straightforward and not literally as complicated and weird as you would imagine getting Dave Benson Phillips to appear in your last video would be.

I am so glad we're finally getting to tell the story. It's so good. Who wants to lead the charge on this? Well, you sent him. the email, didn't you, Ben? Or you sent the email to his agent? This was, I'll quickly say this before you carry on. His website has a contact me page or a contact me button. And I believe it's meant to automatically open your email client software on your computer

and auto fill his email address. But it doesn't work because it's Dave Benson Phillips website. So, of course, it doesn't work. but hovering over the link you know Google Chrome gives you a preview of the link in the bottom left-hand corner like the full hyperlink so I was able to see what his email address was from that

so by doing a little bit of sleuthing because his website doesn't work properly I was able to reach out and make contact with DBP Is this the only reason he's not getting any work is because the email forms broken I think so There are people queuing up desperately trying to get hold of him but he just

The BBC has been trying to email him for years. Yeah. Well, I believe you got into... I mean, I think this... The reason I asked you is because I think you should tell this part of the story and then I'll talk about trying to handle the actual file

because there were a number of issues with that as well. Oh, God. Okay, I'll keep it brief then. It costs 50 pounds. Yeah. It was forwarded over to Dave's agent. It was very nice.

Never actually dealt directly with David himself. See, that's where I think David's, David, David, Dave, Dave's agent is just, Dave Benz-Philip's alternate email address. It all goes back to the same person. It's just an alter ego. So in fact, you were talking to Dave all along. Oh, I would not be surprised.

I'd like to have dealt with him directly. I used to watch him, you know, as a child like we all did. Yeah. It'd be amazing to him. Anyway, he fucking pawned me off to his, to his, uh, to his agent. and his agent asked sort of what exactly would like him to do because in the original email I said, hey, we have a YouTube channel, we're making this big video and we'd love you to be a part of it,

you know, just a short little video clip with a short script. And they said, yeah, send over the script. It'll probably cost about 50 quid. And I was like, okay, that's incredibly reasonable. And I wrote out this script very specifically, and I gave him the exact lines I wanted him to deliver. I even gave stage directions, including, like, things that I thought maybe he would be able to relate to and understand, like, Panto villain laugh.

And he didn't do any of it at all. That cost extra. I mean, he read some of the words, but not. He read, yeah. He sort of followed the script and realized there were bits that he should have read and shouldn't have read. There was a bit in there at the end. The serious bit that we wanted.

to go in the video was the first part. And then I also, again, in the stage directions, I said, okay, now you can say this bit normally. And it was, hey, Mikey, Peter and Penn, just want to say congrats on the year of doing videos, blah, blah, blah. And I thought, okay, maybe we could use that for the podcast when we come back or put that out in another video because it was kind of weird that he would just change gears from being this like panto villain to suddenly saying this nice message. So I thought we could clip it out. But no, he just read the whole thing kind of in one go in the same voice. And Peter had a lot of fun with the video next. So I was editing that last episode of Worst Games ever, where we fell through the portal. And as we're tumbling down the

sort of time tunnel or whatever it was, Dave Benson Phillips appears behind us to reveal that it was him all along who was doing the portal goblin ransom notes and so on. Number one, his green screen was so brightly, I mean it wasn't a green screen. I think it was a wall. It was a wall. It was just a wall. It was just a wall. But it was slightly green, but mostly gray white. And trying to key it out was nearly impossible. So if I did that, basically, his eyes and teeth would disappear because anything vaguely sort of brightly colored would just go. A bit adequate for the portal goblin, though. Well, true. Yeah. So there's, I mean, the reason that the, uh, the, the, the, the, the sort of of video of him behind us in that sort of epilogue is so noisy and staticy is because that's all I could do to hide the terrible keying out job that I'd done. So I deliberately had to make it like a fuzzy thing. It was actually much better quality than that. The other thing was that when he says ah ha ha yes it was me all along Dave Benson Phillips

beloved TV presenter burned into his own video that he sent us it said along the as a lower third, Idris Elba. And we didn't get a chance to, you know, we didn't ask for that. I think he puts that on every video that he makes because he thinks it's a joke, like a funny joke. But given the context of what we wanted to use the clip in, it doesn't make sense for it to say Idris Elba on the Portal Goblins TV transmission. I don't know why you're complaining.

He threw in a free extra, we should be blessing them out. Those are production values right there. Yeah, well, he threw in several, several, extras, the pile of DVDs in the corner that needed cropping out. That's my favourite bit. It's just the fact it's Dave Benson-Philip's spare room. Dave's sad warehouse. Yeah, just a wall that was never meant to be used for video, just happened to be a bit green. So he sits in front of it. And the ultimate, uh, the ultimate extra that he threw him was right at the end. We did not ask him to say, uh,

good luck with what's going on in the future, just leave me out of it. So it kind of implies that he's very much aware of what we do and you know he was willing to sell his soul for 50 quid but does not want to be remotely involved in any future content so here we are talking about him in the first episode of the podcast yeah well he shouldn't have done it should it quite frankly it's his fault yeah i remember walking into the office i think the day after ben got sent that and ben just messaged me like hey the day of benson videos through it's really weird and i got worried and like just hearing him say that last sentence was genuinely bone-chilling It's like, oh, God, what have he done to this man?

Just leave me out of it. Then he sort of gave a knowing look and we're like, oh, God. And then there's a bit of a long pause and then he realizes, oh, wait, I'm not done yet. And he goes, 150 points. Yeah, that was it. Because I thought, again, I thought, might as well. Just like he said on the program. Might as all get him to say that and we can use that in something else as well.

But no, he just delivered it all in one really weird monologue. Like the Panto villain bit, the start, that was meant to be the laugh. him to go ah ha ha ha yes it was me but he just went ha ha yes it was me dave benson phillips beloved and he just he didn't quite read all the words properly and then he he sort of said leave me out of it and he doesn't even laugh he sort of goes he goes ha ha ha ha I think we find out recently that he had foot and mouth oh yeah is he a cat did we tell you about this mikey do you are you aware of this? I genuinely had no idea about this. Is he infected with the foot and mouth? So what video was it, Ben? How did we find it? Did someone link it to us? Someone sent it,

someone tweeted us it and I didn't really watch it too much. He was part of a compilation of talking heads about some kind of theatre production. Didn't have a lot of views on the video, but he talked sort of a great length about personal issues that he'd faced. Oh, God, dear. There was more than, more than hand, foot and mouth. So, yeah, it was a compilation of talking heads. I think it was someone had basically, everyone they worked with over a period of a year, they spoke to them for like half an hour while they were at whatever workplace they were at because there were various different kinds of like, there were video editors and like camera ops and vloggers and Dave Benson Phillips. Like it was just a weird selection

of people. And his own category defies categorization. Yeah. So I think they just did it with anyone who was there that day, basically, wherever this was. And the question was, what were you doing last year or what position were you in last year? And this vlogger is saying like, oh, you know, like in the last 12 months, I've given up my job and I'm doing YouTube full time. Dave Benson Phillips goes, this time last year, I actually had hand, foot and mouth. And the guy behind the camera just laughs and you can hear him on the microphone saying, what do you mean?

You had hand, foot and mouth. He said like, you know, he does a lot of work with children, like children's parties and stuff. And he reckons that's probably where he picked it up. what the fuck and you saw that bit then but I carried on watching and Dave Benson came back

because they were cutting to and fro from various talking heads and he goes on to say so yeah last year I had hand foot and mouth then eventually I lost the use of my legs or lost the use of one of my legs or something oh my God Dave you're right and I mean I laugh

the only reason I allowed myself to sort of chuckle there is because it's a kind of shocked laughter and he's okay now So, you know, I don't feel too bad about, but I mean, he was delivering it with a bit of a smirk as well because he knows how bizarre it sounds, but apparently it was, he got like diagnosed with diabetes and that affected, I don't know if it affected his circulation or like the nerves in his legs or something. Anyway, he now has the use of his legs back. But he says he used to drink like loads of slush puppies and stuff. Is his website now Dave does things for insulin? Oh, God. Sorry, Dave. Oh, that would be sad. Just leave me out of it.

Just leave me out of it. We're talking about his health issues now. Well, he told, it's his fault. Yeah, we do love you, but God. No, we wish him the best. And I think he saw the, if not the funny side, the sort of shocking side to his medical mishaps over the past 12 months. Yeah, crazy. Poor boy.

But yeah, that's the basic story there with our adventure with Dave Benson Phillips. it was quite the time. What a tale. We'll do what we can from now on to leave him out of it. Yeah, we'll probably get more questions about him. Yeah. Discuss him again. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if his fan account

that's definitely not run by him, tweets us again. Saying, well, I think he's a bit unfair. He's a lovely block today. His child is best. 150 likes. Right, we do things on this show where everybody brings along a thing to talk about. I've got a butcher that, didn't I? Who would like to go first?

I'll go first. Oh, Peter, take the wheel. Sorry, Michael, I got in there before you. That's all right. Thank you, Peter. Good boy, buzzer. What did you say? Good boy buzzer.

Good boy buzzer. What's a good boy? Am I a good boy for doing that? Ah, see, someone's not been listening to their own product. Look at that. Unbelievable. You run the good boy buzzer first, so you get to go. Oh, okay.

I forgot all about that. Oh, I remember. I remember now. No, you don't. Don't lie. No, I do. No, I do. Anyway, gentlemen,

Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo. Uh-huh. Bless you. That is a grammatically correct sentence in American English, often presented as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated linguistic constructs. Yeah, you've got to say linear phones. Yeah, come on.

Oh, I'm so sorry, lineonyms and linear phones. They can create complicated linguistic constructs through lexical ambiguity. Oh, I'm tired. Yeah, what's that I mean? Excuse me? So, would you like me to try and explain how saying buffalo eight times in a row is a grammatically correct sentence? Go on, yes, please. The second, third and penultimate buffaloes have capital B's, and that is important.

Oh, okay. Just like from the place or the... Well, exactly. So there are three different definitions of Buffalo that are required for this sentence. Number one is the animal, you could say the American bison, for example. There is the place, Buffalo, in New York. And there's also the verb to buffalo, which means to bully, harass, or intimidate. Oh, just like we were doing.

to Dave Benson Phillips? Yeah, exactly that, yeah. Yeah, cyberbullying, cyber buffaloing is what we were doing. You know, Buffalo, as in to Buffalo, Dave Benson Phillips. Just a gentle buffaloing. Yeah. So, you can imagine that an American bison from the city of Buffalo, New York, would be called a Buffalo Buffalo.

Correct. Are you with me? Yeah, I suppose so. Two words in, we're getting there. Yeah, just like, you know, Michael is a farty boy, and he's from Newcastle. So he's a Newcastle. So he's a Newcastle farty boy, understand? Oh, that would make so much sense, thanks.

Yeah, you put it in terms that we can relate to. Absolutely. So that's basically all you need to know. So if I say it in the way with, if I say it with the synonyms and then say it with just the buffaloes, you might start to understand what on earth we're talking about. Okay? So American bison that other American bison bully

themselves bully other American bison. Does that make sense? No. Okay. I've always hated this thing because it's a bullshit sentence. It is. It is, but I'm afraid, Mike.

And do you know what? You're lucky that I didn't bring the other one. Because there's one. This is the other one, right? I'm serious. I barely understand this one. James, while John, had, had, had, had, had, had, had, had, had, had, had, had, had, had.

had, had a better effect on the teacher. Okay, yeah. Yeah. Okay, I like Buffalo now. When you read the Wikipedia page, you can kind of understand why that makes sense. Is that where we are? Are we in Weird Capitia?

We are in Weird Capitia. Oh, we're back. I should have, I should have, could you not tell? I should have told you. I wasn't sure. Yeah. So, I mean, this, over the medium of audio, this is really not the best way to try and describe how this makes sense.

but I'll give it one more go. Okay. Welcome to Pottietz. Buffalo, Buffalo. So we'll get rid of the word American because that's confusing, right? So Bison, the bison bully, does that make sense so far?

Yeah, we got it, we got it. They also bully bison. Wow, brilliant. So it's like a game of tennis, so it's back and forwards. Exactly. Exactly. And that was, bully bison is Billy Ray Warris' cousin. Yeah, bully bison. Yeah. Right. Okay. So, I mean, I don't think I can, I don't think I can spell it out any further, really. Yeah. No. That is the clearest.

Buffalo. Buffalo. Go on. No, no. Carry on Michael. No, that's the clearest explanation I've ever heard, actually, because like, this is the kind of thing that gets floated around a lot, and I've been on the Wikipedia article. And for some reason, it's never sank in, but thanks to your glorious teaching methods, I understand Buffalo. Okay. Does Buffalo Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo. Mark Griffalo. Okay, yeah. Mark Griffole. Yeah.

There's another one here that I've not seen. It's in the C also section. Oh, okay. That, that is, is not, is that it, it is. It's an English word sequence demonstrating syntactic ambiguity. Brilliant. God, I didn't realize Donald Trump was here. So, yeah, I mean, in hindsight, maybe I won't bring word puzzles to a podcast in future.

I mean, once you see it written, if you go on the Wikipedia page, I recommend that because it's suddenly like, oh, that makes sense. Is an English word sequence just a sentence? Yeah, I think so. They've tried to Wikipedia fire it by making it sound fancy. English word sequence. God.

Thank you, Peter. That was delightful. You're very welcome. I enjoyed it very much. Good. We've got three quick fire questions here, just sort of updates, basically. Oh, shit. The first one, I'm going to throw to Michael to answer quickly.

This is from Darren Parton. Hi, Darren. Thugdulla, who asks, how much tat has been sent in since you guys left? Oh, good question. We've had one parcel. Oh, God, you're so well-behaved, guys. We gave you the deadline and you stuck to it. I'm amazed, to be honest.

Because it was literally like it was someone from a country in Asia who obviously sent the parcel well before the deadline but just sadly I think it got in the office two days after we shot the video So they just missed it But yeah don't worry Ben and Peter got shared pictures of the contents And we all enjoyed it and I enjoyed the snacks Thank you so much And thank you again to everyone that last episode of Post Some Tat was

Unbelievable God it was It just went on and on and it was It was humbling Yeah Yeah there's genuinely still things in the office from that box that last episode there's the snack box that never ends i've got stuff at home from it still it's there's still snacks left yep yeah there's a few stragglers the very

disgusting weird ones but like the weird american ones that aren't good i accidentally left my shoes at the office as well didn't i yeah they're in my flat right now enjoying them thanks for rescuing them it's all right the nuggies on the back yeah uh peter yes hannah underscore official this is the official Hannah. The official Hannah, that's a pretty good Twitter handle to be

honest. Well, that's their name. Their username is at Hannah official 19.

Oh. There's no L. official 19. Officiate 19. Officiate 19. Do we still produce ad

revenue for you guys when we rewatch old Vidiots videos? Yes. Damn right. Every time you see an ad

on any video's product, any Vod or video or anything, that does produce ad revenue that all goes into you know the back end of

YouTube and ultimately will be paid out to us so that we can live yay we can live and continue to produce fortnightly podcasts and fortnightly uh the other thing live streams and fortnight videos oh yeah dab my dudes

always yeah um I will say that we we floated the idea out and I know a couple of people are actually doing it as well, much like when you rewatch all eight seasons of parks and recreation again, because they're incredible and, you know, they're timeless and I love them and I will never stop. Some people have started rewatching the 2018 season of vidiots on sort of the dates that the videos were uploaded. Oh, that's nice. So they're working their way through an, oh, there's a video release today. Let's give that a rewatch. So if you truly are missing our regular stuff that we used to do, you can always just relive it and follow that

kind of schedule. I know some people are. So it's always an option. But even we've forgotten what we put out a year ago. So it's new to everyone again. Tell me about it. It's always a botching. Last question very quickly in this small run of question. This is from seven, I'm assuming an emoji of a shot of medicine at Dr. underscore Scotch. Or maybe it's seven scotch of medicine. I don't know. Anyway, Dr. Scotch asks, when is Simon Miller going to show up? And we had a couple of questions about this, so I just wanted to put it to bed really quickly. We would love to have Simon Miller on here. He's a wonderful man, and we love him very much.

However, he is obviously employed by what culture, and Peter and I are employed by former employees of what culture who don't really get on that well with the management of what culture, and it's a very complicated political situation, and obviously it would mean potentially trouble for Simon if he came on to potty it. So just so people are aware, like it's not that we don't want him, we would love him. He's a wonderful man, and that's great. Yeah, what you're talking about? Sam Miller was on every episode of Worst Games ever. Oh, yeah, he was. He was the producer of most of the games. We did just say, when he's coming on Podiat's, I think you mean Triple Jump, right?

No, no, no, I'm talking about Podius as well. Okay. Yeah, I guess, yeah. I think because we're now... Oh, now that we're a... Okay, yeah. I mean, certainly he wouldn't... I don't think he'd manage Triple Jump, given that it's very direct.

affiliated but yeah i guess now that me and you are you know even outside of triple jump we're more affiliated with yeah you're right it's just a complicated political situation so we hope you understand that but you know we we still love each other and when we see each other in real life will take nice photos of us hugging and having picnics on on a hill or something the spirit of miller lives on yeah precisely michael johnson hello ben have you got a thing oh i've got a wonderful thing today. So in our vidiates discord, which we used to coordinate and discuss, you know, general videos. Coordinated strikes. When we had in the office to kind of put ideas into and generally chat, we had a bot in there that we would add bad YouTube comments to. Oh my God.

Yes. I love this bot. So over the course of the year, we would occasionally throw in the most bewildering or the funniest or just the worst comments we got and today i've pulled out that list and chose some of my favorites from it have you got the whole list yes i've got some of them there's a couple in there that aren't like we're just a bit eh so i've got the best of the best okay are you ready for the first one i think this is a this is a very legendary one the farting was a bit much for me we frequently referenced that after the fact farting was a bit much for me That was a mainstay, really. That came up everywhere.

That was when you farted into the microphone at the end of, was it a post-sum tat or a birthday? It was a game selection, I think. Yeah, it was a game selection, yeah. God, I mean, to be fair, that was maybe a bit much, but whatever. We got a comment from a lady viewer who I think the farting was a bit much for her. I do. I do have all the names here, but I'm not going to read them out because I don't want anyone getting hounded for their beliefs.

I think you should read out the ones who are genuinely just being assholes. because that's most of the ones that we saved. Yeah, we're going to get there. Yeah, she's not being an asshole. No, no, not at all. No, that's just a genuinely funny comment. It's a bit much for me, to be honest. We had to leave the room.

Yeah, it was bad. Sorry, guys. I've got quite a few here, so I'll rattle through them. Okay. This is just a bad one. Would Yey ever consider asking Plumpy are anyone else who left What Culture to join Yey on Dechanel? I tried to do that as phonetically as possible Why did we still get plumpy comments

Oh, the grammar Yeah, that's great I love the grammar God This is one that kind of bewildered us for a bit Washing machine in the kitchen Yeah, like someone has a very special I know some people have like utility closets and stuff

I think it's an American thing It's very normal to have a washing machine in the kitchen Yeah, we were just like, what the fuck So was this after Ben's kitchen? Yeah, I can't remember what video in particular but yes I think there's a comment like washing machine in the kitchen as if there's a weirdest thing ever in Britain

it's actually very normal most people have the washing machines inside the kitchen yeah if they don't have the utility room it's in the kitchen and spaces I feel like that's normal yeah they're the weird ones right now we start getting to the more risque comments oh why am I always seeing upload as begging for handouts almost every video

has a Patreon page these days why should I give you my money I watched your shitty video why should I give you more because views don't really give us money oh god

yeah I love this because it's not the fact that we had a patron never hurt anybody anyway and it never

affected our videos yeah we were like we didn't hold anything back we never mentioned it really it was just there

but even if it did like imagine being so entitled that you thought how dare you how dare you make a video

and want to make a living of it as well I watched your shitty video Yeah I did you a service By viewing this thing you worked on Yeah one view

Fuck you man It's it's I mean Saying shitty video as well I don't know if that is from a person Who stumbled upon us Didn't like us And thought fuck these guys

But you also You get that kind of attitude From people who Do like your stuff They're like You know they'll say stuff Like oh great video You should make more of these

But you know I don't know why you don't do like one every single day or something and it's like stop being so entitled like it costs money for us to do this. Yeah. Sadly yeah, rent isn't free and that's a big part of life.

Now we move on to what's probably my favourite section of the comments. You can probably guess the theme from the first one. Little Britain isn't cringy you PC warriors are and that one's from Mitchell. I'm just going to rattle off a few of the little Britain ones. Yeah. Okay.

Cooks says CS. Yeah. That's a good one. And Sebastian Cheek expands on that with PC cooks. Oh. Nice. Nice. And we've got a big one here from Daisy Fields.

Or for crying out loud, they took the piss out of literally everyone. That's what comedy is. That was until the alt-left became complete snowflakes and ruined any comedy whatsoever. Now people get locked up for getting the dog to goose step because it might offend Nazis. The next thing you know you're going to get people locked up for poking fun at the KKK. Just in case it upsets a KKK member. the world is getting weaker and more more girly yes i said girly because the fact of the matter is men are physically stronger than women

that's fact science overrules your feelings what the what was his name again daisy fields a lady daisy fields it's just i forgot i copied this i didn't read the entire thing but i forgot about it's just a roller coaster i forgot that last sentence it really ramps up Fuck. I don't think that man got... I mean, for one thing,

I don't remember if he got locked up or not, but I'll take Daisy at her word that he did get arrested. But it wasn't for making his dog goose step. If he just taught his dog to walk in a funny way, that's not... You don't go to jail for that. It's that he taught it to do a Nazi salute

when he said Heil Hitler to it or see Kyle or something. I managed to get the Nazis into the podcast. Yeah, well done. It took half an hour, but you did it. That's what he got locked up for for effectively turning his dog into a Nazi via

like Pavlovian conditioning, you know? I love there's the total straw man there of just in case the KKK gets upset. No one's saying that. Just you. No one. Very quickly with the Nazi dog thing, I also agree that no one should probably

be locked up for that. That is ridiculous. But that's also a massive overreaction. Yeah. To are saying that Little Britain has aged horribly, which I think it has. It's just a terrible TV show. Yeah. Well, we'll carry on. Shut up, Muppets, with your political correctness.

Little Britain rocks and always will. And Daniel W. Always will. Little Britain rocks. That's the musical they did. Mag. Mag. Mag.

Margaret. I'm pretty sure David Williams has openly, like, admitted that he regrets Little Britain now. Yeah. I think everyone does. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. Britain is a nation. I just really regrets it. Glock Boy Polo.

I think we're moving into the 50 cent era because for some reason that video picked up a lot of traction which obviously attracted people outside of our usual circle this game's great you just like to bitch keep being bettas

okay and I think slowly as before it ramps up butt hurts soy boys oh wait nope I've already read that one no I've mixed out it sounds like them I've mixed up my 50 cent little bit in comments so here's UK guy

but hurt soy boys Little Britain is hilarious And if it offends you Don't watch it We're not We're literally playing Did you see You know what this is

You know what YouTube is Right We're literally playing the video game You know the context Jesus Okay this is a big one So deep breath Man fuck out here

YouTube Three stupid motherfuckers Like how dare you call this game A Worst game Is games out right now That can't even hold a story Have you played Destiny 2 Like don't ever talk about this game

This is the greatest game To ever hit PlayStation He actually put work in this game. They don't even put working games no more. Talk about the new games. Talk about all the new games. All the White Boy games. Don't talk about this one. You have no right. Every game that's

out right now is not even coming close to that shit. From Shady Blaze regarding 50 cents. I love White Boy games. That's such a good line. No, go back to your Destiny 2 White Boy game. Yeah, go back to your White Boy games. The reason why I read that in such a weird way is because there was no

punctuation through that and set to scantling to each other. solid stuff this is just a weird typing love your stuff guys and very much enjoyed all the personal antidotes on the last poddiate oh good yeah I love a personal antidote do love a good anti-doubt

help I've been personally poisoned I need a personal antidote I left mine at home oh man I don't I assume this one is a joke but wait they have Rick and Morty in England God, yeah I'm just airing on the side of that's a joke

because they're on the internet and they know how that stuff works Let's hope so Again, we're getting angry now I love these videos But spending 30 quid on sweets To send to some YouTubers Just to get your name mentioned

It's really sad But sending some YouTubers about 80 pounds Worth of figures, clothes, etc. It's really pathetic Especially when they don't appreciate And just pull it to pieces I just want to say we appreciate Every little thing we got to send

Yeah, we did We poured stuff in because they wanted to. And I think most of the people who sent stuff in knew that like if a tattie figure turned up we would pull its head off.

We didn't like being the chocolate, you know? Oh, some tat, right? Yeah, their name's in the fucking show. Yeah, I thought that was, I thought that was kind of a low blow to go after people who were, who were enthusiastic enough

about us and what we do to fuck you guys. To send us stuff, yeah, that was kind of a dick move that. We're going to move into what is my, I think my favorite section is, The Michael Johnson insult round.

Oh, boy. There's Vincent Crackers. Let's start. You're not very good at English. You are Northern, so you know. Doesn't say Northen, I think. I think it says North E.N. Wow, you've got a fucking memory like all hell.

Yeah, Northen. Yeah. It's because Peter sent it, I think. Oh, Peter, why? Well, it's just the irony of him saying, you're not very good at English. You are Northern. Oh, it makes sense now.

Oh. And it ramps up. It's nice you give it a chance, but it's time for the make-a-wish kid to go now. I do want to make it very clear. These are not my beliefs. I'm reading from a page of comments we've actually received. Don't make it look like I've said these awful things about myself.

I would never say anything like this. No. And also, before you continue, Michael was an integral part of idiots. Absolutely. And he was never going anyway. It would never have worked without him. Yeah, thanks. So shut up morans.

Your nobles. I'm regretting putting his in now. Okay. Are you reliving this trauma? Yeah, I'm tearing up a bit. We don't have to, Michael. You don't have to. I've got three left.

I'm going to do it. Okay. I really dislike their Pudge friend with Down syndrome. Oh, my God. Oh, God. That's only the opening. I really dislike their Pudge friend with Down syndrome they made this channel with. He needs to just stay behind the camera and stop trying the jokes.

Plus, he's a vegetarian, like some sort of woman. That's the real kicker Michael You're not just a pudge boy with Down syndrome You're a pudge girl with Down syndrome That's what you're works And men are stronger than women It's just science He misspelled vegetarian as well

Like vegetarian. Vegetarian, brilliant I think this is the last of the Michael round You'd get more views if you did a good game Every other time, you want to do shit games for wankers And stop letting Michael do anything Love you guys since name redundant. Oh, Jesus Christ.

I love two out of three of you guys since name redundant. Just not that one. I just love how it starts with. You'd get more views if you did a good game every other time you want to do shit games for wankers. It's not shit games for wankers. That's good games for good boys. Also, we get this sometimes

and can we just put that to bed for just once and for fucking all? If we did good games for wankers or best games ever, that would literally just be like every other let's play on the internet. No one gives a shit about that. Come on. And also, the fucking sly jab at Michael there

was so unnecessary. It's like the filling in a sandwich, the disgusting vile filling. And the last one, this is a nicer note to end on. This is something I said, someone has done the most monstrous shit like filled half the ball. It's like

meatball maranara and dafts putting an out of order sign on the door. I kind of want to go back. That was a poogeet. That's an actual message that Michael sent us in the group discord one morning in the office and we added it to the comments thread. Because it just couldn't, we didn't want it to be lost a message like that. And now here it is, living forever in Poddietz. There we go.

That's the calvacade of cunts, I guess. Thank you, Michael, for reliving that horror. I was reading these just before coming in. I was giggling to myself. Like, oh, like some sort of woman. You guys have a way of words. Oh dear. Well, thank you, Michael. That's all right.

And now that we've looked to the past, let's look to the future. This next question is from goofballs with zeros and four in his name, because he is a super gamer. And that's at G00FB4 on Twitter. asks, what are you guys planning for the future in your lives or regarding the channel? I don't mind. I'm planning for a baby. now. Oh, congratulations, Peter. Oh, how far along by? I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not married. I don't want it to be a

bastards. You're John Snow's, John Snow, bastard. John Snow's bastard. Not John Snow's bastard. Ned Stark's bastard. You don't know, he might have a bastard. Big twist coming. Oh. Game of Thrones. Yeah. Could happen. Well, we've sort of spelled out what we're, what we're planning for the channel. Yeah. Um, which is not a lot currently. but what about you guys you know what what are you thinking what's going on this year what are your goals oh my god oh well i know this summer something exciting's happening is yogcon

which i'll be at oh yeah i think i'll be working at that so if anyone happens to be coming to yogcon you probably see me walking around frantically trying to organize things just running from place to place yeah no you see echoes of a near off in the distance yeah i i think i don't i can't say specifics i don't i don't know what's happening tomorrow most of the time but it's going to be a pretty big year for me we've got um a lot of shoots lined up the potential of a lot of international ones which there's a lot of a lot of their production legwork which will be fun but i'm going to be going all of the world and meeting some fun hopefully my god sounds fun yeah amazing peter and i

in terms of our channel triple jump um obviously we've just gotten started but it's it's looking it's looking really positive yeah you know where we're we've got a fantastic support base from probably many of you guys listening now on Patreon and and subs on Twitch and people buying our merch and things like that, which is incredible. We're expanding the team as well in terms of bringing on writers and video editors. And we've got plenty of support from the people at Kutaholic as well. They're a huge help to us. They've been amazing. And of course, the bigger the team gets and the more we can automate the sort of list production and stuff,

the more we can focus on some of the sillier videos that we're perhaps best known for. And so it's all very exciting. I'm really excited to see where we're going to be in sort of like even six months. It's exciting times. It should be really interesting.

Things are looking up. Of course, you know, it's sad that video's had to come to an end. And of course we miss it. And of course we know you guys miss it as well. But we just hope that you'll respect and support us all in our individual endeavours and then come together to enjoy poddiet's here with us as a continuation of what we used to do beautiful see it didn't die it just was backtracking a little bit or not no winding down

that was it not it was stuck in a portal for a couple of months and now it's yeah just was in portal customs that was all also while i mention it just very quickly please please try and keep vidiot's specific stuff to sort of vidiot's channels and triple jump specific stuff to triple jump channels because sometimes it's quite frustrating when we've worked on a list video for a week on triple jump and then we see where's podium underneath it's yeah it's like come on guys give us a chance you can just keep that you know just keep it we're doing the best we can thanks we are but you're all wonderful and we appreciate you supporting us however you're doing it but yeah the year's looking exciting for all of us Benjamin hello have you brought a thing along to

talk about oh you know what I have oh my god lucky dears um I was just wondering if you guys had heard of a website called The Onion. I have heard of The Onion, yes. I'm familiar with it, yeah. Okay, so The Onion, in case you're not familiar, is a satirical news site that posts pretend stories that sound like they're

real. And sometimes they, you know, people fall for it, hook, line, and sinker and they see the sort of the viral content going around and being retweeted and they think, no, that's ridiculous. How could that be true? However, you know, art mimics life sometimes, or

it the other way around. I suppose it doesn't really matter, does it? They're just doing the same thing, so it, yeah. And sometimes real news sounds like a fake onion article. So what I've done is I've assembled a list of four articles. And I'm going to read you the headlines. There may or may not be one or more or none. Hello. I'm into myself into a corner here, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo. there may be one onion article in here there may be no onion articles there may be several onion articles and there are also some real articles in here too i want you to decide which one's real and which ones aren't and uh sort of just ask me if you want to find out more i've got some corkers i think you'll enjoy these headlines oh so did you say there's at least one there is at least

one real one i can confirm there is at least one real onion article today but they might but they might all be real and no onions. Possibly. Who's to say? Yeah, but that's a possibility. Okay, good to know. Right. You ready? Yeah. Trump complains about overly complicated controls needed to operate modern day doors. There's one. God.

Next one is obese cops sent to fat boot camp for, and then in quotes, belly destruction. I believe that one. I won that to me. Oh, belly destruction. That sounds amazing. Next one is Toyota Patent's Digital Whoopi Cushion that farts tear gas at thieves

Oh my God And finally You ready? Yeah Power outage in Venezuela causes economic crisis In RuneScape That's interesting

God Now one of those might be true But what do you think I think I think that belly busting, belly destruction and RuneScape are probably real. Yeah. I'm inclined to believe the first one,

the Trump one is true as well. What were the controls that he couldn't manage? Trump complains about overly complicated controls needed to operate modern day doors. I don't even know what that means. Yeah, like a door handle? Are you having trouble? Modern day doors? controls. That can't be real. There aren't any Trump. They can't be complicated if they don't

exist. Yeah. I'm I think I'm going to happily say Trump, RuneScape and cops are all real. Oh wow. I'm just going to say cops and RuneScape are real. I don't believe the Toyota. It seems really dangerous to have a canister of tear gas in a car. Like even if the whoopee cushion mechanic was working perfectly well. What happens if you crash the Toyota? Does it just release tear gas into the world? That can't be real. That would never be allowed.

I love that phrase, Whoopi cushion mechanic, as if it's like some kind of game mechanic. Yeah. I can confirm that Trump complains about overly complicated controls needed to operate modern day doors is an onion article.

Fuck. Oh, I got me. It is a play on Trump's recent comments about how airplanes are too complicated these days. The fact that you need to study for a long old time to fly them is apparently a bad thing. No, that's a good thing because it means Trump can't fly them. Jesus Christ.

God. Surely they're getting less complicated in a way. I know they're getting more sophisticated, but like, imagine learning to fly a plane in 1940. That must have been really difficult. Yeah. God. There you go.

Obis cop sent to fat boot camp for belly destruction. That's a real store Of course it is Yes That's true I'm not sure Which country it's in Because this is taken

from a website I don't know where it is It appears to be Somewhere in Asia And it's just It looks like Some sort of town square Filled with

Shaved Head Topless Chubby Men I searched Belly Destruction on Google It only took A few

Articles before came to porn so let's not click on any of these well there's a link for you so you can there's the photo as well so you can see that wow those are the belly busting busting makes me feel good moving on yeah Toyota patents digital whoopee cushion that farts tear gas at thieves can't be real not safe Toyota has patented an anti-theft deterrent that involves spraying a potential hijacker with tear gas if the vehicle is stolen the actual patent is titled vehicle fragrance dispenser and is designed with three functions in mind

an actual fragrance to improve the mood of occupants, a deodoriser that will remove odors and the final and most uncharacteristic of Toyota a tear gas dispenser that will activate in case an illegitimate engine start has been detected by an immobilizer of the vehicle. That is so dangerous.

I mean I know tear gas can't presumably can't kill you so it's not going to kill anyone but you can't you cannot drive around with tear gas in your car. If you crash the car, it's coming out. God, imagine that.

He's like a huge pile up on the street. People are fleeing for the lives. And then some dickhead in a Toyota comes up and just spills tear gas everywhere. Yeah. Or what if you just, you know, what if something goes, what if there's an electrical fault in your car

and it thinks, like the immobilizer activates? And it thinks you're a thief and it just sprays you with tear gas. Yeah. That's mad. I'm sure they've thought it through. Yeah, I'm sure they have. Well, the article continues

If you're not a registered driver But sit in the driver's seat Well, you get gassed Sort of like a whoopee cushion Except instead of being embarrassed You are blinded So if little Jimmy jumps in the car He's getting gassed

Basically, yeah Fucking hell Oh my God And finally power outage in Venezuela Causes economic crisis in RuneScape That's true That's true There are people who professionally

Farm Dragonbones in RuneScape in Venezuela because it pays better than most jobs there. Wow. And when their power went out, it actually plunged Runecape into an economic crisis in the virtual market because all the Venezuelans who were farming and selling items couldn't access it. Wow. Jesus. So that's a real thing. It's crazy that there's still just a marketplace going on in RuneScape.

Like, I'm amazed it still has, you know, a... audience. You can never die. That's mad, isn't it? Before we move on, I was going to save this for the next podcast, but I think it fits in well with this segment. This is a headline I read today, and it made me belly laugh for 10 minutes. Man killed Siegel, which attempted to steal his chips in Western Supermare.

Oh, God. He killed it. Yep, I'll carry on. This 64-year-old man, and I quote, smashed the bird into a wall after attempted to steal the man's chips and knock them out of his hands Jesus Christ That's amazing There's a picture of the man on there as well

He's a proper gammon He's the kind that would smash a seagull into a wall For knocking over his chips Proud Proud Seagull murderer So that's a true one Listens to Info Wars Yeah

Good God They're turning the frogs game I don't know if you guys knew that But let's move on to a question We've got two more to get through quickly Before we wrap up the show This is from Harry at Harry Chris Robin on Twitter When you started videos you said you loved the creative freedom

Now that you're in different places How does it feel compared to that? I know that Ben says he prefers the journalistic approach What about Tiny Peter? Also, how's Mikey? How are you, Mikey? I'm good, I'm alive, that's the main thing. Good.

No complaints, really. I'm paying bills, that's the main thing. Although I'm saying that, I got my first proper electricity bill through in like January, and good God, I was paying £150 pound a month. Yeah, mine was 100 quid this month.

It's fucking, this fucking immersion heaters, man. Yeah, it's mad. We figured ours out, we know how to reduce it, and I'm just anxiously waiting for the next bill to come through to see how much we're actually. Exactly. I'm in exactly the same boat.

I'm just going to see what the next one is going to be and I splashed out for an engine meter, so. Oh, that's a good idea, actually. Yeah, because then we know exactly how, yeah, I recommend that. potty it's life advice because you can get them for free i think at the moment from your provider i don't know why i didn't think of that yeah i just bought one on on amazon like 30 quid and bam turned off the water heater i was saving three pounds a day it was amazing nice well for the first time i'm in a flat

that actually stays warm when the heaters aren't wow so nice i don't have to put on the heating that much at all it's a miracle you guys are paying crazy money you should you should get that meter yeah i'll stay safe out there i'll get a tiny meter for my house tiny meter yeah hey tiny peter How are you finding the new approach to content? I'm enjoying it. You know, we, I was really reluctant or I was concerned about what the response would be when we started doing lists. Because we've said in the past, you know, that we had issues with lists. And sometimes we've qualified that with the full detail of our opinion on lists,

which was the way we were doing lists at our first venture was that, you know, they were kind of handed to us they weren't always on topics we wanted to do it was a bit of a factory you know a bit of a production line just unending then you know at Vidyat's we kind of took the Mick out of lists

by only doing silly ones so in starting to do serious lists again at Triple Jump I was worried that people were going to go I thought you didn't like lists so what are you doing but yeah I mean the the exact opinion on lists

from us I think you'll agree is that it's nice to do them when they're topics you want to do things that you know about things that you're passionate about and that is how we want to do them and we're not churning them out either we're not putting out one a day we're doing two a week between the two of us so that's that's all good with me yeah i guess ultimately there's a reason why lists are popular because it is a fun kind of format to work with yeah like it's enjoyable it's good fun to write to as well so there you gil it's just nice to do it in a in a certain way and that is how we're doing it right now and i'm enjoying it yeah absolutely and we enjoyed

complete creative freedom last year, which is something that we really appreciate. And, you know, we've already said, like, we're probably never going to be in that position again. So we're glad that we, you know, we made the most of it. We stand by what we made, although we agree that it was niche. And, you know, it was difficult to market to a broader audience, even though I truly do believe, as you guys do, that there was a bigger audience out there. It was just a matter of time getting into them. Yeah. But, you know, we're very proud of what we did and we've we've had to change tact for this new job but you know we don't resent that at all as peter said like we're we're making content about stuff that we're passionate about which is

really nice um and we've all got this structure now in in our various new jobs that we didn't have last year and that has made the world of difference yeah so i think we're all really enjoying what we're doing yeah it's good because yeah like doing whatever you want is fun but there's a certain degree where i would i need some guidance and it'd be pushed in a certain direct yeah it was it was a once in a lifetime thing and I think there's in a in a certain way I think it was right just to kind of come to a nice end rather than you know if we tried to ride it out for a much longer time I think we would have more kind of ended up in dire straits financially rather than just you know we did a year of it okay we knew it wasn't going to work long term

but we weren't sort of scrabbling around for the coppers like not being able to pay the bills it was just like that was fun that was really fun for 12 months and maybe let's do something that's a bit more reliable now in terms of income so we're lucky boys to have done it and it's nice to still have this little piece of it left that we can continue with just leave me out of it

wink final question comes from PGF and then a pizza emoji a controller emoji and a crying laughing face emoji oh pro gamer at pizza G fun times on Twitter most embarrassing moments

so I'm assuming this is from the last year of idiots I'm going to kick things off and just say wearing that Spider-Man costume in public and in particular walking across that bridge where all the traffic was at a standstill you weren't having to high-five members of the public and some of them didn't want to do it

and it was awful it was entirely your idea though wasn't it? Yeah it was well not everyone some people thought it was me in the video people said like oh check out check out Peter's bulge and stuff. But if only, if only I was that well endowed. Tiny Peter, big feet. Everything else is smaller.

There was literally a moment. I mean, it could have come from the movie itself, except you were under the mask feeling embarrassed rather than like a superhero, where two pretty girls wound their window down and went, hey, Spider-Man! Yeah, they did. I don't know if that audio made it into the video in the episode.

No, I didn't know that. But literally, like, two girls said, hey, Spider-Man. Man like they would in a Spider-Man movie and I was like, oh my God. They did. And I waved as well. Yeah, you did. Yeah, it was just, it was on that bridge near Queen Square

where all the traffic is always queuing. And it was my idea, but I was kind of hoping the traffic will be moving. And also I was slowly building up to it as well because between shots, I was wearing a coat over the top and also jogging bottoms and my trainers. Just so I could try and cover up as much of it as possible. God, it was so little bit. A couple of people denied your high fives as well, didn't they? That was bad.

That was just mean. That was really awkward, that. But that was my embarrassing moment. What about you guys? I'm trying to think of an embarrassing moment from idiots. I think, I mean, like, I've done embarrassing things, but nothing I'm necessarily embarrassed about. But I think in life, the most embarrassing thing has ever happened to me is,

I think, is on the schoolyard. And I was standing on a wall, dicking about. When one of my friends pulled down my pants. Oh, no. And exposed my penis to two girls. Oh, no, not your penis. My penis. It was just like, obviously, I don't think you intended it for it to happen, like, you know, underpants to come down to.

That's a brutal pants. Yeah, and it just got me good. And there it was. Michael's Mitchell. Yeah, Mitchell's my Johnson is out there. That's what you get for wearing long johns, man. When you said, you've got to wear those tiny whiteies, otherwise, you know, you can't get a good grip of those from the outside. I've worn them since.

Three pairs at all times. Yeah, safety. Suspenders. I just, I've chopped my penis off, so no one will ever see it. Oh, that's good. That should try that, yeah.

Like a Ken doll. When you mentioned embarrassing moments, my brain instantly went to that and I shouldered. Oh, God. That still haunts me. Peter, what about you? Do you know what? I was thinking about an embarrassing moment this morning,

and I can't think what it was now, and I'm kind of glad that I can't, because I was like, oh, no, that was a real bad thing that happened. You know, and they just sort of come into you, head and you you know you mentally clench up you're like no I don't want to I mean yeah we've done something about like running after you dressed as a like 1970s you know oh yeah what was his name Pepito or whatever Pietro Pietrof and Benjino or whatever we were

called Benito Benito yeah that was that was kind of cringy like miming the the mopeds and stuff. Yeah, with the stick, running in Queen Square. There was a bit of that shoot as well. This was for the Milanoir advert series that we made. Yeah. There was a bit of that shoot where Mikey used to have a flat that had quite a high balcony. And next to it, there was a very empty car park.

And it didn't look too bad when we had a guy with a camera with us. But I said, oh, you should get an aerial shot. Go up to your flat's balcony and shoot us from above. and so Peter and I were stood there wearing these ridiculous wigs with these fake moustaches on holding sticks running in circles

while people were just using it as like a foot pass to get to the main road from my angle it looked amazing just these mad guys just pretending they're riding a motorbike God I have thought of one other thing given that mine were similar to yours Ben

that happened during our tenure at Yogscast which was that the first time that Hat Films had us on their channel. Oh, yeah. I saw Ross, like, the next day or something, or that afternoon, and we were just talking about it, and he was saying,

oh, yeah, no, it's nice to have you guys on, and, you know, it's good to sort of show you to our audience, so hopefully they'll go across. And I said to him, and I meant this very much proverbially, but I don't think he took it as that. I said, oh, yeah, no, and we'd like to obviously return the favor, you know, sort of, you know, like you've had us, and now we'd like to have you over for dinner.

And he just sort of looked at me, he went, oh, yeah, okay. And then I went, you know, like be on our channel. He went, oh, oh, right, okay, okay. And I just, I wanted to just bite my fist off. I just walked out of wherever we were and thought, Ross just thought I'd weirdly invited the three of them around for tea because they've had us on their channel.

Just it was so awkward. I never said anything to him. I never addressed it with him after that. That's the best thing to do. that made me feel a little bit I think I remember in that shoot as well I was like setting up all the lav mics and accidentally called one by the wrong name

I was like oh no I was like oh god sorry but it's all fine now probably they don't hear this oh well boys that's it wow that's us that's our first episode back
