Starting point is 00:05:39 There we go. Great. How are we all? What's going on? Doing good. My back aches a bit. I think I've been sleeping badly. Yeah, mine does too.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Oh, there be cool. Nice little synchronous. there. It's been like three days and it's still hurts and I'm really worried. Backache. Yeah, but back achy. It doesn't sound right. None of it sounds right really. Have you had a fall at work? You could be. It's a bit of compensation. Yeah, that's how it goes.
Starting point is 00:06:05 You could be something to compensate. I was installing an alarm system and actually be given the wrong kind of ladders. What is, what, hang on. Let's deconstruct that. Yeah. What? I was installing an alarm system and it had. actually been given the wrong kind of ladders. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:23 He'd actually... Oh, Jesus. He hadn't just been given... That's how you know it's true and not fraud. Yeah. Yeah. And then he falls. Are there different kinds of ladders?
Starting point is 00:06:31 I broke my right arm, and my left shoulder was crushed. Okay. How did you crush your shoulder? That seems like... No, he's actually given the wrong type of ladder. Yeah, the wrong ladders. Well, yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:06:44 He was installing answers to me. He'd actually been given the wrong kind of ladders. Poor guy. I was actually given the wrong trousers. I was going to the moon I was stealing a diamond and actually even given the wrong kind of trousers I lost my dog and I gained a homicidal penguin instead
Starting point is 00:07:02 Well leading on from that Would you boys like a question? I'd love one Yeah, yeah, let's do it Mikey You're our question man again Yeah, question master, that's me This is from Odie Olly At Odie underscore Olly on Twitter
Starting point is 00:07:17 given that god-awful Wallace and Gromit video and your talk about Spanish art attack and at that Peter Austin's old kids TV knowledge and confused dudes terrifying Rosie and Jim tape what TV scared you as a kid? It's not necessarily TV but it was Rol Dahl's The Witches, the film adaptation of that is harrowing.
Starting point is 00:07:39 It's like, I really want to re-watch it but it scarred me as a kid. I remember literally hiding behind the sofa so I didn't have to look at it. It's on Netflix. Is it? Yeah, you should watch it. Watch it every time, every day.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I can finally overcome my fear. It's just that scene where like the witches transform into like actual witches and the body distorts and just fucking, ugh. There's also a scene where a boy turns into a mouse and the transformation, like the, for sort of the halfway point, I think they use a little bit of, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:10 like a mask and like makeup and stuff. It's like a practical effect. Oh, God. And they've made this mask of like a half mouse boy. but it's a really horrible, you know, it's not a cute sort of anamorphic. You could forget, dear mouse, boy. Yeah, exactly. It's a bit like that.
Starting point is 00:08:24 He's just got, like, these big ears and nose, but he's not got any fur. He's just got human flesh. It's really weird looking. It's horrible. I don't think I've seen that, thankfully. Yeah. You need to, Ben.
Starting point is 00:08:37 You need to. Based on what we've described, do you feel a compulsion to, a compulsion to watch it? No, absolutely not. Actually, Michael, I feel like I don't want to watch it at all. Rowan Atkinson's in it. Oh, well, there we go. Maybe then.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Mr. Bean. Is he Mr. Bean in it? Yeah, he is. He just plays Mr. Bean. Mouse boy. He's just in the background, just sort of wandering around with a mini and a, you know. Not driving you, just wandering next to it.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Yeah. Just pulling it along on a string. Mr. Bean, what are you like? Oh, Mr. Oh, what a silly sausage. Sausage. I feel like that's a Mr. Bean word, isn't it? Sausage.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Yeah, it is Sausage Now, Peter, did you just Did you just refer to Mr. Bean as Mr. Yeah, that was his first name. So his name is Mr. Mr. Bean?
Starting point is 00:09:28 Yeah, no, on his passport or his driving license or something in one of the episodes or possibly one of the movies, under first name, it just says Mr. The whole one word. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:09:38 So he is Mr. Mr. Bean. Apparently, yeah. Oh, but also in a separate... So I think that's in one of the movies. I think that's in the one where the Wister's mother movie. His passport says Mr. Bean. Oh, right. In one of the
Starting point is 00:09:50 episode, one of the very early episodes, his first name in his driver's license, I think, is Rowan. Oh. But that's then not referred to ever again. So, like, I think in like, it might have even been the pilot. He's like called Rowan Bean.
Starting point is 00:10:07 But then, yeah, I don't think that's canon. Rowan Beans kind of sounds like an offshoot of like runner beans. Yeah, it does. Yeah, that's how, like the Avengers of Beans. You've got rowing Bean. Run a bean, there's weightlifter bean. Beans assemble.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Javelin bean. Ant bean. Ant bean, the mightiest heroes. That one goes up Thanos' ass, that one. Oh, Jesus. What about you, Peter? I'm sure you've got some absolutely fucking haunting things. I mean, I'm trying to think of, like, stuff that actually scared me as a kid.
Starting point is 00:10:38 I don't think there was much kids' TV that scared me. I obviously watched some things as a kid that I shouldn't have been watching. I used to watch, like, you know, early, like, horrible, um, Retro Doctor Who repeats, but we're horrifying at times because of the weird effects. But the things that come to mind in hindsight are there's a creepy pasta that's not real. It wasn't a real kid's show called Candle Cove, which is about like these people did a forum thread where everyone was just posting as though they knew this show that they were all talking about together. But everyone was actually just, I don't think anyone said, let's make up this thing.
Starting point is 00:11:17 it's just someone said I don't remember this show called Candle Cove and then all the subsequent posts people were just sort of adding to this story going oh yeah and I remember there was that skeleton who would like grind his jaw back and forth and he was called like Skin Eater or something so that's just not a real show
Starting point is 00:11:34 but the one other thing that I can think of is there's this stop motion feature length thing called The Adventures of Mark Twain where a couple of characters from Mark Twain's book. So there's like Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. They've got this like time machine or something. It's like a TARDIS. And Mark Twain as well is with them. And they all just travel between various stories that he's written. And there's this sequence where they turn up in a story
Starting point is 00:12:06 that he wrote called The Mysterious Stranger, which was not a story for children, but it's this stop-motion kids film. And the Mysterious Stranger book is about like, a kind of fallen angel or something who is sort of alluded to be the devil like Lucifer who, you know, who, you know, booted out of heaven. And in this kid's show, this like weird fucking creature,
Starting point is 00:12:33 it's got no head, turns up at the door of their TARDIS, and instead of a head, it's holding this mask that can move independently. So it's like holding it in its hand, but the mask is animated like a face. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:47 And they say, who are you? And he goes, an angel. And they're like, what's your name? And he goes, Satan. Wow. He like takes them out. Oh, I won't watch this. It's horrible.
Starting point is 00:12:59 You should watch it. He takes them out to this floating island. He makes some clay and builds a castle. And he says, you can make some people to live in our little clay sandcastle. And he brings them to life with his Satan powers. And then he says, we'll have a storm now and an earthquake, if you like. And then he just kills. these like little clay figures
Starting point is 00:13:18 and they're all like mourning the dead and stuff and they're going like and the kids are just like watching him like what the hell and eventually they just leg it back into Mark Twain's Tardis and they fly away and that's it nice and safe
Starting point is 00:13:33 that's the end. Are you sure this didn't happen to you Peter? Well maybe so but it's now on YouTube but maybe I just uploaded some found footage from my own life maybe it's from a handy cam Yeah. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Was it called Beware the Friendly Stranger? Just the Mysterious Stranger. Oh, the Mysterious Stranger. He put like Adventures of Mark Twain or something. The Mysterious Stranger. I don't know if I want to watch that. It's really horrible. The stop motion as well just makes it so much creepier.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Yeah. Ben, anything, any creepy kids TV? Yeah. Apart from the Rosie and Jim. Yes. Yeah. Thank you to everyone who keeps sending me the exact same Amazon listing. By the way, it's not it.
Starting point is 00:14:18 That's not what I'm after, unfortunately. It's literally called Rosie and Jim and the Tickle Monster. That is the name of the cassette, not stories from the old Ragdoll or anything like that. It's a standalone tape called Rosie and Jim and the Tickle Monster, and Side 2 got warped because it's too evil to be heard, apparently. And unfortunately, we'll never know unless someone has a copy somewhere, which is unlikely.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Or if you somehow unroll all the tape and put it into a new cassette. It is possible. I do have the cassette. You can send it to people. who I think can restore that stuff but it, you know, it costs money and who has that right. Donate to Vidyts. What's the bitly?
Starting point is 00:14:55 It's like Bit.ly forward slash Vidyat's Pizza Fund or something. Hang on, let me Let me try. Bit.L.Y. 4 slash Vidiots. Oh, it's not that. Shit, we should know this.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Pizza. The Bumpiss Foundation. No, that's not it. Let's, uh, hang on. I've got it. I've got it here. Let's, uh, yeah, just give me it. Hang on. Just I'm hanging on. I'm hanging on. I'm still here. Just barely, just barely. Hang on. I'm nearly there. I'm just looking into our, into my Bitley account. Here we go. I've, there we go. It's, uh, bit.L.Ford slash pizza fund. There we go. Oh, just pizza fund. Okay. Yeah. That's a good one. Let me just check that. I'm just checking it now. No. No, no, that goes to a different address. I don't know what... What the fuck is it?
Starting point is 00:15:52 Well, never mind. We'll never find the truth. It'll be in the description and stuff. Yeah. Yeah, if it exists. If you want to donate to the cause, just let us know. Yeah, pizza fund, but it has to be capitalized, apparently.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Oh, it's good sensitive. Yeah, but that's too complicated. We'll put it somewhere if you want to help. Watership Down. Can we talk about that, please? Jesus, yeah. No, thank you. The entire last part of that film
Starting point is 00:16:19 cannot be around, please thank you. And the other one I've got is a mandatory bit of cartoon viewing we had to partake in year six in primary school, which was Macbeth. We had to watch this, and spooky, spooky fucking animated Macbeth. Oh my God, didn't know that existed.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Scared me something awful. It gave me real nightmares when he has his head cut off and they lift up the head that's like impaled on a sword and they lift it up and blood's dripping out of it and I'm 10 and I don't want to see that
Starting point is 00:16:56 but it's Shakespeare. Yeah but I'm 10 though Yeah, Houston's Macbeth in year 6 that's insane. It's pretty it was pretty messed up it messed me up something awful and some people may know that animated thing and they may have seen it in school as well
Starting point is 00:17:11 that was horrid literally the whole point of Lady Macbeth's character is, like, she embodies, like, the psychological aftermath of, like, murder. Like, her entire role in the play is just to be, like, she sees blood on her hands constantly, and she's, like, scrubbing her hands because she just can't get over having had someone killed. Like, that is not 10-year-old material.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Nope. It's not a story for a child. Yeah. Well, we've got to teach him young. That's reality's life. Animates. Oh, I found it. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Just, okay, I'm going to send you guys It's stylized, pretty fucking stylized, I'm going to send you guys a couple of screenshots of it Are you guys ready? Yeah Are you guys ready for this? We'll describe them for the viewing audience at home
Starting point is 00:18:00 There's one. Oh, no. Oh, it's a bit weird, isn't it? It's really weirdly shaded. It's like the memorial photo to the fallen Manchester United Football Player that you did of me when we painted. Just the weird shade.
Starting point is 00:18:14 on his face just on unusual contours that shouldn't exist. Yeah. It almost looks like a little bit anime in the way it's done. It's kind of a style that's really weird, but it's really frightening. Like it's... With essence of He-Man. It's like a Newgrounds animation. It's super spooky and it, yeah, it fucked me right up.
Starting point is 00:18:35 That's fair enough. That's fair enough. Fuck me right up there. God, it's opening so many wounds and I can't look away. Now I'm just scrolling through Google image. Now it's on Discord as well. you can't escape then he's there please change
Starting point is 00:18:47 do somebody change the subject well I did just want to add actually when you said watershed down I do remember the first episode of the animals of farthing wood that I watched I've seen that series in full since then but like the first episode I ever watched was just like three episodes in
Starting point is 00:19:03 where they're on their way from one wood to like a nature reserve and they want to cross a road and I was like oh this is nice like it's about animals and stuff I like animals it's a cartoon about animals and the hedgehogs just get run over and it's oh jesus oh okay fine thanks for that didn't know it was so raw and brutal i mean it is it's it's not quite watershed down levels but it's very much one of those like yeah this is a story about anthropomorphic animals for
Starting point is 00:19:31 children but we want to teach them the reality of nature there will be morals yeah exactly and fucking entrails all over the road yeah so it's that was a bit like that as well. Do not want your deeper meaning here, Mr. Austin. No, we just want them all to make it through alive, Mr. Austin. We're children. Spare us as innocent until we have to experience ourselves. The advert said they would be king of the road and that they would be fine
Starting point is 00:20:00 as long as they stopped, looked and listened. And listened, they would live. You better stop. King of the road. Oh, those are cute adverts. Yeah, they didn't die. Legitimately, though, a hedgehog was run over in front of my bus stop to go to school, though, so there was no respite for that poor guy.
Starting point is 00:20:24 No, there was just a flat hedgehog for like weeks until some parents scraped it up. That was on one of the dick and dom when the cat went to visit one of the cities, do you remember? Yeah. He was like, welcome to Eastbourne or whatever. He was like, there's lots of wildlife in Eastbourne, like badgers, foxes, hedgehogs, there's a hedgehog over there, and then the camera just zoomed in over his shoulder to a flat hedgehog.
Starting point is 00:20:49 And then he went, but I think it's gone or something. Dick and Dom really was something special. We harp on about it a lot, but Jesus, like they got away with so much stuff. Yeah. Well, I wonder if I might move on to my thing, which happens to be related.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Go on. It seems like good time. So, Mikey, you may be aware, oh, there's just a kettle boiling in the other room. I don't know if that's going to pick up. Oh, it's fine. I can't hear it. Michael, I know you're aware.
Starting point is 00:21:19 I don't know if Ben spotted it, that Dick and Dom, from their official Twitter account, retweeted a clip from, I think it's called just in da bungalow, at in da bungalow clips the other day. Okay. It was just a clip where Dom answers the door, some ghosts come in. I think it was from a Halloween episode of Dick and Dom. And they go, like, trickle. treat or do you want to be in our gang and he says I'll be in your gang and they just start painting in
Starting point is 00:21:49 white and Ian Beale from EastEnders is one of the bungalow heads just sitting on the sofa right so this bungalow clips you know tweeted the clip you know they only have like a couple of thousand followers Dick and Dom officially retweeted it
Starting point is 00:22:06 it got 66,000 likes it was watched over 2 million times um And Dom then apparently posted an Instagram story because he has an Instagram where he was saying like, wow, it's really touching, you know, it's sort of gone viral if you like. And, you know, it's great to know that people love the show. And he says, we'll never bring it back because we don't want it to, you know, be a disappointment if it wasn't as good as it was. But it made me think, in light of your previous thing, Ben, welcome www.org.org.
Starting point is 00:22:43 To the go-go, Dick and Dom in de Bungalow quiz. Oh, my goodness! I'm going to be so bad at this. I don't remember anything about that show. Well, wait until you hear the questions and options, because I have not brought this to the podcast because it's a really good, interesting quiz. I've brought it to the podcast because I was looking for a good interesting quiz, and I found the one that was submitted by Harry Kemp to All The Tests.com. Ross Kemp's son. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Yes. Are you ready? Yes I hope you've done your revision Always So you think you know The best bungalow in the universe Do you?
Starting point is 00:23:24 Yeah I mean my friend My childhood friend Max lived in a bungalow Was it better? They used to have like Burger King for tea a lot And And like his mum would sometimes Just disappear into another room
Starting point is 00:23:37 And come back with like a six pack Of like toffee crisps And honestly that was a pretty good bungalow I mean, that kind of sounds like Da Bungalow, though. Are you sure it wasn't the same one? I bet they have Burger King for tea every night. I did get covered in slime a lot. It's creamy muck, muck, everywhere.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Right. What's the... This is verbatim. What's the names of the little cupboard people? Is it A, Diddy Dick and Diddy Dom? Is it B, divvy Dom and divvy Dick. Oh, Jesus. Or is it C, Dickie and Dommy?
Starting point is 00:24:12 Oh, Dommy, that doesn't sound right. I'm going to purposefully get some of these wrong. Yeah. Because I want it to be right. I'm going to say it's Dickie and Dommy. Dickie and Dommy. Dickie and Domy. The dynamic jewel.
Starting point is 00:24:32 We'll get the answer at the end. Although I do know the answer to that one. I don't know if you want it now or not. Right, this is probably the best question in the quiz, right? True or false, there's almost always a wedding in the bungalow garden. Is it A, true, B, B, go, go, dick, and dom. Or C, false. That's not.
Starting point is 00:24:59 That's not how it works. I mean, it's definitely B though, right, Mikey? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go go dick and dom. That's how I answer most. True or false? B, go go, dick and dom. There's just random capitalisation as well. And Go and Go are both capitalised, but Dick and Dom are both lowercase.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Improper nouns. It's because they're not real. Question three. Which of these has not been an animal trophy on the living room wall? Is it an elephant, a moose, or a crocodile? Oh, wow. That's like an actual question. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:32 It's a real question. I think the moose was one. Yeah, moose and crocodile, I think it definitely won. What was the first one? Elephant. Yeah, I'm going to go elephant. Let's go elephant. I think you might be right, Mikey.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Question four. This would be my mastermind thing, Dick and Dom, knowledge. Question four. Which of these is the name of the Bungalow Dictionary? Oh. Is it, this is quite a good sort of trick question in a way. Or, you know, like, it's hard to know which one it is. Is it the Dick and Dom shinary?
Starting point is 00:26:03 Is it the Dom and Dictionary? Or is it the Bungalow Dictionary? Which is what they call it in the question, so it's probably not that. I mean, B makes the most sense. Yeah. But I do love the intentional bad pun. Yeah, that's why I'm leaning towards A. I want it to be in.
Starting point is 00:26:23 The Dick and Domchenery. I'm going to hopefully vote for A. Yeah, let's do A. The Dick and Domcionary? Yeah. Okay. Question five. When Dick and Dom took over the CBBC Studio,
Starting point is 00:26:40 where did they put the usual presenters? A, they weren't there. B, B, in a public petting zoo. C, in a cage, or D, in pet costumes, and they had to run around the floor. They're all quite thematically similar, aren't they? Yeah, yeah. Because I was thinking, like, oh, maybe like a cage like animals.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Yeah. It just weren't there. That's a tricky one, actually. I don't remember this. Yeah. No, I don't remember that either. I do like the idea of having them just not be there anymore, though. No mention of its maid.
Starting point is 00:27:20 It's just, hi, I'm Dick, and I'm dumb. Welcome to the news. I'm going to score for the last one. I want them to be, like, pretending it to be animals. Puffy play on the floor. Oh, no, not that. Not that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:31 I put in pet costumes in there to run around the floor. I've just noticed that they weren't there is spelled W-E-R-N-T. They weren't there. Oh, Jesus. Question six, which of these is not or was a bungalow game? Wait, what? I'm sorry. What?
Starting point is 00:27:52 So it says, which of these is not? And then in brackets it says, or was a bungalow game. So I'm guessing what it means is there's five answers here. And I think one of them is the odd one out, but it could either be that it's the only one that wasn't one or it's the only one that was one. Oh, my God. Extra layers of confusion to this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Let's go for it. Let's do it. Right. Is it A, there's a famous face in my bucket. B. Toddler Tug of War. C. Eggy heads.
Starting point is 00:28:26 D. Muck Muck Grand Finale. Or D. Nibody Move. Oh my God. You say D twice. Oh, I may have done. near-body, there's no letters, I'm just putting the letters in.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Oh, yeah, that's okay, yeah. Bullet points to press. It's hard. Um, um, what was the first one? There's a famous face in my bucket. Yeah, that doesn't sound real. That, no, I think that does sound real. It sounds a bit Dick and Dom, I think.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Yeah, it's on brand. I don't know. What was one, like, one of the middle ones? Uh, toddler took of war, eggy heads. Eggie heads. Like, for some reason that one's striking me as, like, not zaney enough and not, like, dick and Dom enough? Now, I don't know the answer to this, so I'm going to go in on
Starting point is 00:29:11 the discussion. I think Eggie Heads is one. Oh. I think Famous Face in my book, it sounds like it could be one, and I'm wondering if nabody move is actually a trick question, because wasn't that just like It's just his catchphrase? The interrogation
Starting point is 00:29:27 game. Yeah. Oh, you've outsmarted this very intelligent question, asker. Oh, no, I haven't. I haven't. That was one. They played, what's the time, Mr. Wolf? But it was just it was just D.I. Harry Bat
Starting point is 00:29:40 who would turn around and say nobody move and people would have to freeze. Creative genius. So I don't know. Oh God.
Starting point is 00:29:47 It might be... What does your heart tell you? Maybe it is there's a famous face in my bucket, but who would come up with that? Yeah, it sounds too smart for the question maker. I'm going to stick
Starting point is 00:30:01 with my guess of eggy head, whatever it was. Okay. Sounds familiar, but you might be right. Question seven I think there's only ten questions Don't worry What was used to whack the toilet turtle
Starting point is 00:30:13 Was it A A, a fake chainsaw B a mallet Or C A bog brush Wack the toilet turtle Does sound like a bit of an innuendo Yeah it does
Starting point is 00:30:24 A chainsaw A fake chainsaw Sorry a fake chainsaw Come on yeah It's got to be It's got to be the mallet right Oh, oh, interesting choice. Okay, I'll put mallet.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Question eight, yeah, actually says, question eight, this is a tough one. Okay, thanks, Harry. Yeah. Question eight, this is a tough one. What did Goldilocks do to make the toilet turtle eat her? Jesus. What?
Starting point is 00:30:55 What did Goldilocks do to make the toilet turtle eat her? A, she whacked him. B, she laughed at his joke. C, she jumped on him D, she did nothing This is a hard one It is a tricky It's pretty tough
Starting point is 00:31:13 My brain I mean The previous question Kind of seemed to imply Some kind of whacking goes on Yeah With the taller turtle So I would assume she whacked him
Starting point is 00:31:23 And he just didn't like it Okay I'll put that in Question 9 of 10 Which of these is not a line Oh for God's sake this question. Which of these is not a line in the
Starting point is 00:31:38 Neybody move game? So they've given away the fact that that's a real game. Jesus. Oh, in the game theme, sorry, the theme tune. Okay. So is it, you've got very little time to get your clothes to move? Excellent, excellent accent.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Thank you. So as simple as this, knee body move. Or there's been an awful crime and we've got to, we've got a case to prove. It's air. One of those is fake. It's got to be here.
Starting point is 00:32:11 You sound pretty short. You've got very little time to get your clothes to move. Well, actually, yeah, no, that is awful, isn't it? But the first and the third line rhyme. Oh. They all rhyme. The second one is, so as simple as this, nobody move. So, so's simple as this.
Starting point is 00:32:28 S-O-apostrophe S, simple as this. Nobody move. that this person I don't want to give them too much credit but I almost think that they wouldn't write phonetically
Starting point is 00:32:40 Yeah This goes beyond the questions and answers We're going into the psyche Of the creator Yeah Of Harry Kemp Oh I don't know
Starting point is 00:32:52 I don't know This is the tough one This is a tough one It is a tough one You just have to guess A B or C A Yeah, let's go here.
Starting point is 00:33:04 You've got very lot of time to get your clothes to move. Yeah, I don't really know where clothes come into it. Yeah. Question 10, this is not a tough one, hopefully. What are the contestants called? A, bungalow bombs. B, bungalow heads. C, bungalow brains.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Or D, bungalow bombs. Bungleow bombs. Bums, bums. Bums, bombs. Okay, I'll put bungalow bums. Test results. Here they come. Give it to me, Doctor. You're positive. Hang on a minute.
Starting point is 00:33:36 It doesn't give us the answers. Oh, what? It just gives you a score. The results are Go Go Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow. Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, you're acceptable, spelled Y O You are.
Starting point is 00:33:54 You're like that scrawny kid that went to Da Bungalow. You've correctly answered five of ten questions. On average, seven of users who took the quiz gave 8.14 right answers. Wow. Why did average of seven?
Starting point is 00:34:13 I think only seven people have done this quiz. I'll give her the answers to the ones that I know. The names of the little cupboard people are Diddy Dick and Diddy Dom. Yeah. I had their own spin-off show for a while. They did. True or false, there's almost always a wedding
Starting point is 00:34:29 in the bungalow garden. I think there's definitely been weddings in the bungalow gardens so yeah potentially it was a running joke which of these has not been an animal trophy it's an elephant correct I believe the dictionary
Starting point is 00:34:46 was actually called the dick and dom shinary oh Dick and Dom dictionary I want to find this for myself not the Dom and Dictionary I don't know where they put the usual presenters
Starting point is 00:34:59 I don't know which game wasn't real or was real a mall it was used to whack the turtle I don't know what Goldilocks did don't know the lines from anybody move and bungalow heads was the name of the people well there we go with a score of five out of ten I think we can be classified as Dick and Dom historians bungalow bummed
Starting point is 00:35:28 yeah thanks for bearing with me through that I'm shocked and appalled to see that the answers aren't given at the end I just assumed they would be but I think based on the quality of the quiz I should have actually assumed that they wouldn't be yeah the flags were there it's okay he did his best Harry that's all we can ask they go that's a thing
Starting point is 00:35:49 thank you Peter congratulations dick and Dom for going semi viral on Twitter the other day yeah well deserved but they'll never a return and it burns a hole in my heart. Yes, Ben. Michael. Michael. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. We've got
Starting point is 00:36:05 a little question from Cthuloo, Chris, at Hey, Cthuloo on Twitter. Hi, Cthulhu. If you built a themed hotel, what would the theme be, and what would the rooms look like? I think, what's an utterly disgusting thing people would pay money to do? Well, people pay to stay in ice hotels, which
Starting point is 00:36:24 kind of seems like a novelty idea. That's disgusting. Realty, revolts. Water everywhere. Hmm. How about a fast food hotel? Oh. Oh my God, that would be good.
Starting point is 00:36:38 They have like any fast food you could imagine just in the kitchen and you just press a button and it comes to you. And it's literally just an eating hotel where you just stay in your room and food is brought to you and you just eat all the time, anything you want. That sounds incredible. Like those tunnels that carry tubes. you get tubes of food like the capsules that they have in retail jobs where you put
Starting point is 00:37:01 the money in after you cash up your till and he goes flies off in the tube Oh I've never got to use one of those I want to get a McFlurry delivered via that book They'd have to work on the delivery system
Starting point is 00:37:13 so it doesn't just fly at the wall I might make a beetle-themed hotel where it's like life as a beetle Okay Not the band Not just the Beatles but just insect How would that work?
Starting point is 00:37:27 What did you do? So there'd be the dung beetle room, I guess, where there's just, there's no bed, it's just a big old mound of poo that you get to push around. Oh, you pay a £120 a night for the pleasure. That sounds fun. Is there a toilet?
Starting point is 00:37:40 No. You just add to the mound. It's pretty self-explanatory, Peter. Well, I just thought I'd ask in case Michael wanted to go a bit off the wall and say, yeah, if you shit on the floor, you get kicked out of the hotel. It's not loud.
Starting point is 00:37:54 It's just a giant plushy, poo ball it's not real yeah what's some other like terrifying terrifying insects dust mites you're just like you're in a big field of carpet strands oh wow that sounds fun yeah actually sounds cozy just imagine like a big fluffy carpet that's three feet high just rooms that have been basically scaled up so that you feel like you're you wouldn't be able to go there peter well you guys could get an idea of what it's like for me but i think i would just disappear off the face of the earth i think i would would not exist anymore.
Starting point is 00:38:26 It'd be the Atom Hotel for you. Yeah. It'd be like in Bethesda games where you set scale to like 0.0.03 and they just disappear into the atoms of the floor. Yeah. I've got, I know what I'd do for my themed hotel. I would make my hotel and in North, there's no sexy things allowed. Some people, some weird perverts might be tempted, but that's not what it is.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Okay. Okay. It would be a giant soft play area. like ball pools and like foam pits and trampolines and you know like like fun factory or like whatever you would call them wacky warehouse it would be a giant wacky warehouse hotel i'd quite like to go in a wacky warehouse like you get adult trampoline places but that's not the same some occasionally places like that do like an adult's like opening like the open in the evening now and then and let people come in and just like mess around in the in the in the
Starting point is 00:39:25 the soft play. The next day, kids... It would be so many injuries. Yeah. It's not really built for them. It's like the next day kids come in and find bottles of vodka strewn about in the ball. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:34 There's a needle in the ball pit. It's extra fun. There were needles in the ball pit in the, in the one that I used to go to anyway. Well, not needles in the ball. What? But someone apparently found a used condom once somewhere. Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:48 That's the stuff. Stay classy. Fun Factory. And I would like to say, um, sex is not. prohibited at the insect hotel in the poo ball. Yep.
Starting point is 00:40:00 It's mandatory at the fast food hotel. That's how you pay. Big greasy sex. Fantastic. Big greasy sex. Oh, Jesus. Guys.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Yeah. Have you heard of... I mean, forgive me here if you have. Have you heard of a website called The Onion? I've heard of a vegetable called the onion.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Yeah, is that what you're thinking of, Ben? A what? The vegetable. What's that? It's like an edible veg. It's a vegetable. I don't know what any of those words mean. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Don't worry about it. It's fine. It's fine. Okay. Well, whatever your version is, that's not this one. This is the original biblical meaning of onion. Oh, I see. And it's a satirical website that posts pretend news stories that sound
Starting point is 00:40:54 sort of almost real because they're they riff on real life and I see and and it's quite it's quite funny that's like the whole point so what you're saying is your
Starting point is 00:41:07 your onion has layers yes just like Shrock Ah good Ted Yeah I love Shrock Stop Shrock and rule Yeah with Mook Muyers in it Yeah Milk Myers
Starting point is 00:41:21 And sometimes real life gets awfully close to an article that you might find on satirical website The Onion and I have four articles for you today four, I'm going to read you the headlines of them I want you to tell me which ones are real and which ones are not real
Starting point is 00:41:38 Okay Are you ready? Yes Billionaire's luxury super yacht slips from cargo ship and gets lost at sea That's probably true I'd like to think
Starting point is 00:41:51 Depressed, a depressed zoo monkey has been seen throwing feces at himself. Oh my God. I hope that's true, but I think onion on that one. I want to hope true as well, but yeah. At himself. Amazing. New York City makes 11th Avenue one way with no warning and then tickets drivers for not knowing. Oh, could be true. That just sounds like too boring, though.
Starting point is 00:42:21 I don't know. And finally, sorry, Peter. I was just going to say, I don't know if the onion would write that. It sounds like, you know, it sounds fake and stupid, but I don't know if it's onion material, if you know what I mean, so I think it might be real. Finally, Kid Rock divorced Pamela Anderson
Starting point is 00:42:43 because of the movie Borat. Oh, God. I know for a fact that one's true. Is it? It's one of the best headlines. Oh, poor kid, Rock. Okay. So those are your four headlines.
Starting point is 00:43:02 Should I go through them one by one and you can choose which way you're leaning? Yes, please. Yeah. Billionaires luxury super yacht slips from cargo ship and gets lost at sea. True. Yeah. That is true. Yay.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Yes. The monkey. The $38 million super yacht, which was all. on the last leg of a journey that began in the Caribbean was not secured correctly by crew, according to the company that transported her, when it fell overboard last Saturday. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:43:32 And they have now found it, apparently, after it was just lost at sea somewhere. Got it. They managed to track it down. Next up, a depressed zoo monkey has been seen throwing feces at himself. This is... Please, for the love of God, be true.
Starting point is 00:43:48 I'm saying onion. It's too funny. It is an onion article It's not true The depressed monkey is not throwing feces at himself I'm afraid Next up New York City makes 11th Avenue one way With no warning
Starting point is 00:44:02 And then tickets drivers for not knowing I think I feel like 11th Avenue is like One of the main streets in New York So is this like a joke for Americans But I'm just I'm saying true Oh I'm gonna go onion
Starting point is 00:44:18 Okay It's true Oh Madness A real thing that it apparently is happening Jesus Currently And finally Kid Rock
Starting point is 00:44:30 Divorces Pamela Anderson Because of Borat Mikey says true Oh boy I think I don't know if I would have I don't know what I would have said To be honest Sorry I shouldn't
Starting point is 00:44:41 I shouldn't have said anything Unless I'm wrong Unless I'm wrong It is It's true It's real She of course appeared in Borat and her then
Starting point is 00:44:51 husband hated the film so much that he actively sought a divorce because of her involvement in the film. Wow. What the fuck? And they divorced in 2006 shortly after the film came out. All she did was get kidnapped in the film.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Jesus. Yeah. Gosh. Yeah. What the fuck? I imagine just like going up to your partner yeah, I didn't like that film you're in that and that's it. You've gone to Brad Pitt and Fight Club No, wasn't a fan of that. God, you'd think, like, it kind of implies that maybe there was already
Starting point is 00:45:24 something going on there, that, like, he just needed a reason and that was it. Bore at. Sasha Baron Cohen. Yeah. Kid Rock saw the movie, and I texted Pamela Anderson and asked, how did it go? What did he think?
Starting point is 00:45:38 said Cohen, and she texted back, he's getting divorced. Coen said Anderson told him that Kid Rock wanted the divorce specifically because of the movie, which he naturally assumed was a joke, Alas, Kid Rock is a real American, and real Americans don't joke when it comes to leaving their wives over movies. I thought it was a joke, said Cohen, but then a few weeks later they got divorced, and they put, as a reason for divorce, Borat. So it had some casualties.
Starting point is 00:46:04 I'm glad that's on a legal piece of paperwork now. That's insane. And there we go. That's my thing. Oh, what a beautiful set of things you have been. Thanks for that trip down thingy lane. That was good. It's time for a little question.
Starting point is 00:46:18 questiony-queue. A question de ques. A question quill. We've got a little question here from Corrosion audio at Corrosion Media on Twitter. He wants to know. Inspired by Tom Scott's questionable, which is the best carbohydrate, pasta, rice or potato. And I've got a follow-on question to this, because I feel like I know which way this is going to go. I personally think it's got to be tatties.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Yeah. Tatties all the way. Pastas amazing, but it's what you have a company. the pasta that makes it good. Yeah, exactly. Tatis are so versatile. Just a stack. Woffly versatile.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Yeah, God, there's so many potato grids. So, Leading on from that, this is the tough question. What is your favorite form of tatty? Oh. I had a good thing about this earlier. I couldn't really think of like a solid answer.
Starting point is 00:47:10 No, I don't know. I mean, crisps are pretty good, aren't they? Oh, wow, didn't even consider crisps? I was thinking crisps, possibly, but I'm like mashed pizza. potato. Bake potato. They're the two I'm battling between.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Oh, really? I'd be more... You don't like that processed stuff? Oh, no, I like a natural boy. I like, you know... Sorry, say that again with a bit more conviction. I like it, natural boy. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Wow. I mean, for me, if it's... I mean, crisps kind of feel like a different category. If it's potatoes done in hot food form, it's got to either be roast potatoes the way the way mama does them. Everyone's mom does the best roast potatoes for them. You know, that's just how it works.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Or, I don't know, maybe just some really good chips, like pub chips or chippy chips, maybe. Oh, I don't know. It's hard, it's hard. Chippy chips, though. I just had some chip shop chips and, ooh, beautiful. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:09 They are good. Good chip shop chips are amazing. Yeah. But how about, I mean, hash browns are really good. Oh. But then I had some potato grids the other day, some bird's-eye potato waffles. They're so good. You put a little bit of salt on them.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Forget about it. They're unbelievably good. Yeah. Just do them until they're just going brown. A little bit brown. Just a little bit brown, just a tiny bit brown. Not too brown, though. Just a bit of crunch.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Nice and fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside. Ooh. Yeah. It's got to hurt when you eat it. Otherwise, it's not good, is it? That's how you absorb the flavor. I'm surprised no one said the, the worst games ever meal,
Starting point is 00:48:48 favorite potato smile. See, that's true, but I feel like they fall very much in the same sort of family, the same genus as potato grids because they're exactly the same. They're just a different shape. But the shape makes them more fun.
Starting point is 00:49:02 Someone should do a full kind of potato taxonomy where we have the family, like the evolutionary tree of, you know, where does potato, where does potato, like croquettes come in and, you know, What about fried, little thin bits of sauteed fried potato?
Starting point is 00:49:21 You know, there's a whole host of things. Well, there's another fight for you to do, Mikey. Oh, my God. Well, I might, I'll organise this. I want to do a comprehensive list of every potato product. So, okay. Maybe in 2020. Potato fight.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Look forward to it. Great. Would anybody like to hear my thing? Please. I love a thing. I think, like, my, I'm, like, my, I'm, just kind of leaning into where my life is at right now, and I'm just going to lean fully into the fact I'm now a crazy ferret man. You are. Okay. Yeah, I've still got the title Pariboy,
Starting point is 00:49:56 but Jesus, ferrets have really taken over. I spend every waking hour looking at ferrets thinking about ferrets and I can't stop. Help me. You're a feral ferret fiend. Oh, oh, very good, a feisty ferret fiend. I really enjoyed the gif that you posted today at time of recording of the ferret. It wasn't your ferret, but it was jumping like onto a table or like, a TV tray and just sort of sliding off and it sort of just pushing everything off splayed leg before it drops. I want to find that. Oh, oh, I'll put it in the linkdom probably. Okay. Remind it to self. Or just put it on screen. There we go. Wow, look at that ferret. Wow. Oh, cool. So on that note, I thought I just, I'd inform the world about ferrets
Starting point is 00:50:37 because up until I met Claudia and her ferrets, I didn't, I never really thought about ferrets. I don't know. They're just not something I've ever encountered. All I, all I ever, heard about from ferrets was that my uncle used to have some and used to race them. I've heard about it. That was my entire knowledge of ferret racing. Oh. Well, I've got, so in front of me, I've got a list of facts. I'm just going to rattle them off. Ferrette. Hopefully you're going to learn something, because there's some fun ones in there. I'm ready. So, let's start simple. The word ferret is from the Latin ferritus, meaning little thief. Potato frittes.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Potato ferritus. Little thief. Yeah, because they're quite good at stashing. stealing things, and a group of ferrets is called a business. Oh. Which is quite adorable. I do like the plural word for certain animals. There's a lot of good ones out there. So when they're happy, they make a little vocal, they vocalize a little bit, and this noise is called duking.
Starting point is 00:51:31 It's kind of like a giggle for ferrets. Dooking, yes. They duke all over the place. Oh, no. Big dukes. That sounds like something from Urban Dictionary. I don't like that. It's just kind of...
Starting point is 00:51:40 Business of dukes. Oh, God, this business won't stop duking. It's a bit of a dukey business, really. So historically, working ferrets were quite common. So they used to hunt rabbits, and they go into the rabbit holes, scare out the rabbits, then the people catch them in nets or whatever. But this dates back to Roman times where fucking Caesar Augustus sent ferrets into the Bleric Island to control the rabbit plagues in 6 BC.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Wow. Oh. That far back. I didn't even realize it was rabbit plagues. Is it like infected rabbits? Or just lots of them. Lots of them, probably. They breed like rabbits.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Oh, God. Six years before Christmas as well. God. It took six years for them to get rid of all rabbits, and that's why we have Christmas to celebrate it. Thank you, ferrets. Thank you, ferrets. Thank you, ferrets.
Starting point is 00:52:31 But this is not the only job ferrets have. Their skill set makes them very good at running through pipes for professional uses. So when a wire needs to be ran through, a tub or a tunnel, but rods won't do the job, enter the ferret. Wow. So notably, they were used to help lay wire for the New Year's Millennium Concert in 1999 in London. It's like the big, big televised event.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Little did you know, those signals are all going through cables laid by ferrets. That's awesome. Yeah. They were equipped with like little tiny harnesses and they just kind of attached the cable to them and go, right, off you go, go through the tunnel. Did they have like little hard hats on with lamps on the top? I hope so, yeah. I think I came in in 2002 actually in the ferret workplace safety law.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Yeah, I think that was a neat piece of EU legislation, wasn't it, with the ferret PPE. They've always got to wear their goggles. Yeah, I can't wait until Brexit when our ferrets weren't be forced to wear helmets anymore. Think of the ferrets, guys. Come on. Come on. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:53:26 So they also employed ferrets for the London Olympics in 2012, was it? Yeah. To do the hurdles or something. What were they doing? Oh, that would be adorable, actually. Again, they laid a lot of cables there, but sadly, this isn't common practice anymore because they have a tendency to fall asleep on the job.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Oh, God. to be in the middle of a tunnel asleep and no one can reach them. So now they're just these robots most of the time. Just like 500 metres below the Millennium Dome. Just like, God, where's he gone? Oh, chompers, come on. So many ferrips. And this led to another practice called ferret racing.
Starting point is 00:54:05 So after a hard day's work at these kind of environments, the engineers would sometimes use their downtime to race the employed ferrets through tubing. I love that. I pulled that from a website, but I love that. the phrase employed ferret. He's got a job, all right? He's doing his best. He's on the payroll.
Starting point is 00:54:22 And now we go on to the dark side of ferret-related sport. Oh my God. We've got the dark underworld of ferret-legging. Sorry? Ferret-legging. Is that when you put them down your trousers? It is indeed. It's an endurance competition in which the contestant wears loose-fitting pants
Starting point is 00:54:37 and several ferrets are placed inside and then the game begins. The player must endure the pain for as long as they can, while the ferret's bite and claw at them. Would anybody like to have a guess at the world record for the longest time in the ferret trousers? Oh, Jesus. I've got the wrong trousers. I suspect a ferret can do a lot of damage in your trousers, so I'd like to think not very long, but... 15 minutes? Oh, I'd say less. Oh, it's five hours.
Starting point is 00:55:05 No. There was a link to an article there as well, which I didn't actually read up, but I hope there's some kind of footage of the aftermath. That poor man's legs, Jesus. Never mind his legs. What about his little... His little duke. What about his ferret? It's exactly the kind of record that you wouldn't want to go any longer than you had to.
Starting point is 00:55:25 It's a record where you would just break the previous persons and then stop immediately. Yeah. Yeah, it's like, I'm not going to carry on. I'm not going to get into professional ferret legging again. No. This one almost sounds like an onion headline, but be careful when you're buying a fancy poodle
Starting point is 00:55:40 on the streets of Argentina. In 2013, some Argentinians were trickting to buying fake miniature poodles. It turns out there were actually ferrets, which were given steroids and new haircuts before being passed off as exotic tiny dogs. Steroids? There's like multiple cases of this. Yeah, this is like beastly ferrets that were just sold on the streets. And the owners didn't realize until they had accidentally brought the drugged ferrets,
Starting point is 00:56:06 had they accidentally bought the drug ferrets until they visited the vet for shots. And then they got the stark air truth that you've got a ferret there, mate. That's a ferret. You've got a ferret in your dog. The ferret inside my dog. Ferret inside my dog. Ferret me up inside. And the last one, it's kind of a, it's a weird one.
Starting point is 00:56:23 Female ferrets can die if they go too long without mating. Oh my God. So they can die from lack of sex. That happens to me too, just so everyone knows. Yeah, he's died three times already. Oh, poor Peter. Yeah, well, it's a buildup of estrogen just causes the body. It just kind of shut down.
Starting point is 00:56:41 So remember. mate your ferrets that no i'm not going to say that what with another ferret yeah it's put them in you get the male ferret and the girl ferret you put them in the ferret trousers and after five hours bam baby and then they duke or something yeah there's a business meeting about it all and then caesar comes along and steals them for nefarious purposes yes and then there's bunnies and six Christmases or something yeah yeah that's i feel like i've learned loads michael there you know the entire history of ferret That's all there is to know.
Starting point is 00:57:14 Nothing more, nothing less. I know it all now. Hopefully some pub quiz comes up with ferret questions. Oh, that's a good idea. I hope it's not done by... What's his name? Kevin... Kevin...
Starting point is 00:57:28 Hang on. I've got a name drop of now. Harry Kemp. Oh, Harry Kemp. Very good. Harry, don't go right in a ferret quiz. I was going to say, if people want to see more ferret action, they should follow at...
Starting point is 00:57:42 Barret Boy on Twitter. Actually, well, yesterday we made our own Instagram account for Busby. So now he's Busby underscore the ferret. Nice. There we go. So I spend all my free time taking pictures of him. It's great fun. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:57:58 Incredible. Would you boys like a question? A loved one. Yeah. This one's from Alaya Anwar at Alaya 1607 on Twitter. You're back in primary school and your parents have forced you into the school's annual talent competition so that you don't
Starting point is 00:58:12 become boring. What is your talent? Oh man. I would like to, I, I can't rap for anything, but I'd like to think if I could go back in time, I would do a freestyle rap on stage of front of the entire school. No planning, just see what comes out. The floofers. The boofers. You know what I'm talking about woofers. It's going to be on that level. It's going to be good. I, uh, I was in a school talent show when I was about 11
Starting point is 00:58:42 and I with three other people who acted it out as I read it I was the narrator for Roald Dahl's revolting rhymes version of Little Red Riding Hood
Starting point is 00:58:56 Oh wow I was supposed to be reading it from the book and then on the night when we got there moments before we were about to go out on stage I realized shit
Starting point is 00:59:05 I've left the book at home It was the one thing you had to do Peter fortunately I've got a bit of a memory for sort of lyrics and like movies like when I've watched a movie I can sort of like recite it verbatim
Starting point is 00:59:18 and stuff I've got quite an auditory sort of memory so I just I just was able to do the whole thing I still remember it now Wow Jesus Christ Yeah that's impressive I've literally never been in a talent show my entire life
Starting point is 00:59:34 Boring Yeah exactly and that's the thing even if I had to I had no discernible talents to show off. That's for sure. I remember years ago, me and one of my best friend at the time, for some reason we put our names down to tell jokes at the talent show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:52 And we, like, five minutes beforehand, we realized we hadn't actually prepped any jokes. And so it was just like five minutes of us awkwardly trying to remember jokes on stage and kind of getting halfway through them. Oh, Michael, no. I think I was just young enough that it didn't scar me, but oh god it was just awful you just like do a joke do the punchline there's a polite laughter from the audience and then you just sort of stand there in silence going um what's black
Starting point is 01:00:21 white and red all over a newspaper that's really that is actually really how long four minutes four minutes and 20 seconds left oh jeez um yeah i think that like it is exactly as he described it It was awful, but I came out of it, a stronger man. God. Well, done, Michael. I'm proud of you. And look at you now. I wouldn't have done anything.
Starting point is 01:00:43 I just stood there and waited. Could I go now? Watch me leave this stage in incredible time. Bam. Yes. Look how fast I am at not being on this stage anymore. That's my talent. Look how fast I am at never actually,
Starting point is 01:00:57 I never actually came out on the stage at all, and I'm not even here. Who are you even listening to right now? I'm not here. I'm the invisible man. Yeah. Anyway, see you'll see a late. please buy a program it helps supports after after school clubs that I also don't attend
Starting point is 01:01:10 there's a whole thing it needs fixing help us what did your mom want you to play was it instrument guitar me when she said you were if you don't do whatever it was oh yeah yeah yeah just anything really just anything I learned how to I learned acoustic guitar very for a very short period of time in primary school and then I took bass guitar lessons for a while in secondary school that never went anywhere I got very bored of that didn't want to do that anymore
Starting point is 01:01:42 in fact the amplifier for the base has been sat in its box on at the top of the stairs at my parents' house and I don't know how long but it's still there it's just always
Starting point is 01:01:53 that's where it lives now just as like a reminder that's where it is every time I visit it's like oh yeah that was that time where I could have done something never mind
Starting point is 01:02:01 I could have been someone my bass guitar teacher was really friendly and nice and he was cool and played games and he was young and hip and then um and you know i'd i'd just go there and i'd sort of try to play what he'd asked me to play and then it'd give me stuff to do and then i just wouldn't do it yeah and then it would just be showing up the next time and trying to come up with some sort of reason as to why there's been no progress at all god yeah i wouldn't practice don't make me do stuff yeah if you don't want to you're not really going to do it are you no no sadly not
Starting point is 01:02:35 Bless your mother for trying. She did her best. It's no use. She paid for those lessons. Yeah. Look what happened. I'm sure he appreciated it. I appreciated the money, that's for sure.
Starting point is 01:02:46 What's the order of things? Is it like a question at the end? We've all done our things now, haven't we? One more question. Oh, well, good. I got the right amount of questions. Thank God for that. So the final question comes from Ben Dane Smith
Starting point is 01:03:00 at Ben Dane Smith on Twitter. What one piece of work are you most proud? dog. There's any highlights. Hmm. I'm very proud of our Binging with Babish video from Vidyat. So I think that's a bloody good parody.
Starting point is 01:03:16 I like that one. Yeah. That's a good one. That's a good video. My favorite, if we're just talking Vidiot stuff, my favorite video we made was the Fallout New Vegas live action.
Starting point is 01:03:29 Yeah. Oh, God, that was chaos on the day. Just like putting sausages on sticks and running around with meat and whatnot. Yeah. I really like that one, though. I think that's one of our best ones. Very silly.
Starting point is 01:03:42 It's a lot of fun. Yeah, I was going to say just sort of generally, as a formula, just worst games ever. Yeah. I think, like, you know, the way that that turned into its own thing and very much, like, had its own identity with, like, just the facts and the random, like, zooms on things. And, you know, you see a lot of people who play,
Starting point is 01:04:04 It's not a totally unique concept to just play bad games on the internet, but to do them in that sort of edited let's play style, where we literally just sit down, hit record, and do it. There's no sort of scripting or pre-planning. But to also then, like, in the edit, then be throwing in things that are like, you know, visual gags and stuff. You know, normally people either just sit down and hit record and then they kind of just upload it as a let's play,
Starting point is 01:04:32 or if they're going to be doing like all sorts of, of crazy sort of gags and things there's a lot of like pre-planning that goes in and it's like oh well I'll go to this bit and I'll say this and I'll set up for that and you know it's all very scripted but ours is kind of a really good blend of the two I think and we just we come out with things yeah while we're recording and then it's just it just comes together so yeah it's a beautiful thing yeah it is a is that is that a rapams that is that's a rapham Shall I do the reedy bits? Yeah, go on.
