When I found out my friend got a great deal
on a wool coat from winners,
I started wondering.
Is every fabulous item I see from winners?
Like that woman over there with the designer jeans.
Are those from winners?
Ooh, are those beautiful gold earrings?
Did she pay full price?
Or that leather tote?
Or that cashmere sweater?
Or those knee-high boots?
That dress, that jacket, those shoes.
Shoes? Is anyone paying full price for anything?
Stop wondering. Start winning. Winners, find Fabulous for less.
Sick.
Cool. Seek. Soak, sick, suck.
That was me dabbing, by the way. I could tell.
Oh, stop, Ben's too cool.
Oh, sorry, everyone.
Sorry. Can't handle that base.
Earthquick, kills 10.
Oh, God.
Two tsunamis. Strike the world.
There are car alarms going off.
Okay, I think it's, I think the worst of it's over.
Oh, thank God.
Are you okay? Peter, are you okay?
Oh my God, we lost Peter.
Jesus Christ!
I think it just sent a tsunami across the time.
Exclusively to his flat.
This has just been taken out.
Oh, no.
No, Peter.
I think I can still hear him.
God.
I've got a hole in my desk now.
Oh, oh, you're all right.
You've got tsunami all over my desk.
I'm sorry. I did a sue cake all over your desk.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Sue cake. You pronounce the tea.
Sue cake.
Oh, sorry. Tisu.
Tisukaki.
Tiram a Tissu.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. Delicious.
This was very nearly going to be an in-memorium episode there.
Immemoration.
Yeah, we've got to fill 58 minutes with nice stories about Peter and how much we loved and missed him.
God, it's hard to fill 58 minutes of nice stories about me, I think.
You are the worst.
Stories about Peter were a bit much for me.
Yeah.
Hello everybody and welcome to Podiot's the official video'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.
I'm Michael.
Well done, everyone.
I'm kidding.
Oh, my God.
Oh, Jesus, Kevin.
What the fuck was that?
I thought he said, I'm kidding.
And I'm kidding.
No, God, I didn't even realize Kevin came into the room there.
Is he back in his hall now?
It sounds like he's settled in quite well.
Is it the first time Kevin has spoken?
Other than when he opened his mouth and the intro and outro music.
It's the first time he's ever actually spoken.
That's why his voice is so gruff.
Oh, God.
I suppose it makes sense, doesn't it, that he's here
because we just heard the intro music.
But I still, I wasn't prepared.
I wasn't able to sort of echo locate where he was.
He just sort of distended his neck like a giraff,
like a big old giraff.
and craned it round
and just spoke over my shoulder
it scared the crap out of me
he's a terrifying beast
when you hear the intro music
you don't always know
is that just coming through
on Michael or Ben's audio
or is he in the room with me
or is it that loud
that everyone on planet Earth
can hear him at the same time
it's not actually
well you guys heard him right
yeah clear as dear
yeah and he wasn't even coming through the microphone
that was just everybody on planet Earth
heard that in their heads at the same time
that's what happens when people are listening to the podcast
We don't actually embed...
The music's not embedded in the file at all.
You can just hear Kevin somewhere in the world,
just conveniently at the right moment.
So yeah, every time you hear that,
he just screams at a certain level that is audible.
Oh, God. So your country.
Yeah. So, yeah.
That's it.
The special Kevin frequency.
His neighbours hit.
Planes fall out of the sky.
It's quite horrifying, really.
It's like one of those weird espionage radio channels
that just broadcast numbers.
Have you heard of those?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, number stations.
Yeah, number stations.
I love them.
Yeah.
Like sleeper agents.
You never know what you're going to do.
But what you might do is consider donating to Pontiettes.
Oh.
Like these fine people did.
If you go to streamlabs.com for slash vidiates official, yeah, that's right.
It's the same thing we use when we stream.
If you want to donate during a stream.
But if you fancy supporting the show monetarily, and I know we don't stream that often,
then you can do, as these amazing people did.
Don't say that.
Joseph.
We stream when we can.
I know, but we don't stream very often.
No.
So they don't get many opportunities to donate when we stream.
That's my point.
I see.
So these fine people have taken it upon themselves to donate to us in the past of a week or so.
That's Joseph, Sam, Nathaniel Barlam, E. Spurius, Milton Holmes, Katie Kinsw 17, Cecil Prumps, Lord Brottovich.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Can we go back?
Was that Cecil Prumps?
Cecil Prumps.
It's a regular triple jump.
She's a moderator on triple jump.
That is an incredible name. I love it.
It's spelled S-E-S-S-A-L as well.
Jesus, it's got everything.
Thethel Pramp.
Gene Jean Jacket 29.
Sim 02 and Drawn by Justin.
Thank you so much, your generous, generous people for donating.
And if you'd like to donate, please do go to streamlabs.com for it slash video, it's official,
and we'll give you a shout-out on the next podcast.
Yeah, boy.
Thank you everyone.
I like that we've given up on the bitly link.
It's too complex.
It's stupid.
It needs to caps to letters.
It doesn't make sense.
The fact that the lowercase one takes you to a completely a relevant site is dangerous.
Although I imagine most people would realise that they went to the wrong place if they entered it like that.
Let's kick things off with a question. Peter, I believe your question boy.
I am question boy today.
Yeah.
Today, Matthew, I am question boy.
So Nick Tullet, it's with two T's on the end, so I don't think it's pronounced Nick Tullet.
at Nick underscore Tullet has asked
if you could appear on any game show
which would it be? And enclosed in this tweet
is a photo of the TV
I don't know if it's Nick's TV or if he just found this photo online
of someone watching Bradley Walsh's The Chase
and the question on screen is
a media sensation in the 1930s
what creature was Jeff who was said to live at a farmhouse
on the Isle of Man? Oh my God!
Oh, my God.
It's multiple choice.
Is it, A, a singing spider,
B, a talking mongoose, or C, a yodeling beaver?
The person who has answered this question on the show
went with singing spider.
Idiot.
What a fool!
I don't listen to poddits.
Everyone knows that spiders lack the voice box to sing.
Yeah, whereas monguist can definitely talk.
Yeah, as we know.
It's well documented.
Yeah.
Can we go back to the beginning there?
Did they say media sensation, Jeff the Mongos?
A media sensation in the 1930s.
What creature was Jeff, who was said to live in a farmhouse on the Out of Man?
I love that.
Big lad.
Proud of him.
I like how it doesn't specify that he was a sort of kind of a ghost or something living in the walls.
It just implies that he just had a farmhouse on the other man.
Just lived there.
Hey, I'm Jeff.
Would you like to buy some milk?
Jeff's place is what it says on the outside.
Yeah.
And there aren't actually any rooms.
They're just really wide wall partitions.
Mm-hmm.
And that's how he gets around
because he lives in the walls.
Yeah, and I have hands and I have feet.
I am a freak.
What game show would you like to appear on
if it could be any game show in the world?
Hmm.
Get your own back.
God.
Well, are we counting kids games shows here?
No, I think we probably shouldn't
because there's lots of kids game shows
I'd love to appear on.
Yeah, me too.
I was watching one recently, a clip.
I can't remember how I got onto it on YouTube,
but it was Neil Bukhinen of Art Attack fame,
briefly had a show on CITV called Finders Keepers
where the set would be like this big
well it wasn't that big it was like a house
it was like a doll's house that had been opened up
so you could see into like various rooms
it had two stories
and the two kid contestants
had to go into different rooms in the house
he would read them a cryptic clue
like oh fly me in the day and hold on tight
I'm great fun to fly because I am a
kite
and then they were running off
and they would have to
turn the room upside down
and it was absolutely full of junk
they were to throw everything off the shelves
it looked really fun they were just able to like
they were just allowed to smash up a room for 30 seconds
and they had to find the kite
in the room so good
I've always wanted to smash up a car
is there a game show where I get a smash up a car
yes there must be
Scrappy Challenge confidently
yeah Scrappy Channel
it's not game show not really
if it was in a studio you
would consider it a game show.
But just because it's in a junkyard, it's not a game show.
I think it's crazy challenge was...
Oh man, it was so good.
A bit of a tangential tangerine.
But I tell you one kid's game show that used to make me furious.
Yeah.
Just because I hated it and I didn't think it was very good and it was always on when
when I wanted to watch cartoons.
50-50.
50.
Yeah.
Fuck that show.
I hate that show.
Yeah.
It's bullshit.
Dave was on it.
Best friend of the show, Dave.
Vincent Phillips.
Best friend.
Was he not?
I thought Dave hosted it.
I'm sure.
No, I'm sure you did.
It was Sally Gray, she was called.
And I think another woman did it as well.
I thought Dave Benson Phillips was on it.
I fucking hated that.
It was educational.
It wasn't funny or entertaining.
The whole school went and was in the audience.
And like, you only, most of the kids didn't get to play a game.
My school never fucking went.
God, I've forgotten about that.
I'm glad, like, I remember vividly not liking it as a kid either.
I didn't know this was like a broad thing.
And there was a trivia bit where, like, the man, I think he was called Flynn, the sort of voice from above, would ask questions to kids in the audience.
How do you, why do you have an encyclopedic knowledge of the most obscure, I'm looking at the Wikipedia page now.
It is Flynn.
Yeah.
He's an oval-shaped screen voiceover in the background.
Oh, God, yeah.
Oh, is he the screen?
I just thought he was a man in a sound room, like in the gallery.
He's the screen, was he?
Flynn is the man inside the oval-shaped screen suit.
So Flynn would ask, he would go like, number 22,
and then a spotlight would fall on number, the kid with 22 on their shirt.
And he would ask some stupid question for a primary school age kid.
Like, which of these is not a planet?
Jupiter, Mars, or the sun.
And the whole thing was no conferring.
So if anyone whispered, and I think they were all miced up or something.
Oh, my God.
If any of them whispered to each other and tried to give the answer to number 22,
who didn't realize that the son.
son wasn't a planet. This weird noise would play, it would go like,
dea, yeah, yeah, and then Flynn would go conferring, like that.
It's very 1984, isn't it? Yes.
Big brother, Big Flynn is watching. Big Flynn. I'm looking at the hosts. You're right.
For some reason I had it in my mind. Maybe it's just a sort of retroactive thing where I just
assigned Dave Benson Phillips to shit shows that I don't like. It was Sally Gray and then
Angelica Bell. Oh.
And then the final presenter was former precious singer Sophie MacDonald.
And if you've never heard of precious, precious were a British girl group consisting of Louise Rose, Anya Lahiri, Sophie Macdonnell, Callie Clark Sternberg and Jenny Frost.
They first achieved fame as the UK's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest and went on to become a moderately popular act until the group disbanded in 2000.
This was five years later.
She landed this gig.
And is still credited as former press.
precious singer.
To be fair, moderate success for a Eurovision act is incredible.
To be remembered more than a day afterwards is a real feat.
Fucking Eurovision.
Anyway, sorry, what was the question?
What game show will we go on?
Supermarket sweep.
Oh, fucking yes.
Bit of Dale Winton.
Absolutely.
Never watched a full episode.
I really do not find game shows that interesting and I never truly watch them.
But supermarket sweep sounds good.
Dale Witton's dead now, isn't he?
Yeah.
Oh, God.
I'd go on it to bring him back
for one night only
fucking Dale Winton's exhumed
courts hosting Michael's
propped up in a shopping show
I know exactly what game show I want to go on
The Cube
Oh
It was so good
It's only balancing on a stick
But can you handle it in
The Cube
Let's go to the Cube
Let's go to the Cube
That was a thing Peter and I used to say
to each other a lot
When we were at what culture
For some reason
Whenever we needed to have a meeting
for the gaming channel or talk about
worse games or whatever.
Or defecting from the company.
Or defecting from the company.
We were just, I'd just lean over to him
or he'd lean over to me and we'd just go,
let's go to the cube, let's go to the cube.
Let's go to the cube.
And it would just be just the studio, usually,
because it's square.
Yeah.
Do you remember when there was toenail clippings
all over the floor that studio?
Oh God, yes.
Yes, I do.
Who trimmed their toenails in the studio?
Own up now.
Please, I want to know.
Disgusting, it was fucking one of yours.
In the same way that Michael would go on Supermarket Sweep
to bring back Dale Winton from the dead,
I would maybe go on something like,
I don't even mind which fucking show,
but just like the generation game or something,
to bring back Michael Barrymore from his dead career.
I loved Michael Barrymore,
and then just because some guy died in his pool.
Oh, God. Totally. Totally. Selfish prick.
Selfish dead guy in his pool. Now Michael Barrymore has no career. And he briefly did well on Celebrity Big Brother and then sort of faded into obscurity again.
That's a good idea. If you want to ruin someone's career, just die in the pool.
Yeah. He used to do a show, I think it was an American import that was called Kids Say the Funniest Things.
And they would just have three kids sitting on a stage and he would go and chat to them. And he would just somehow manage.
to get just the best material out of all of these like five-year-old children by asking
them a question, you know? It was really good. It's hard to kind of describe it, but I'm sure
there's clips on YouTube. The American version of that sure is less fun now. It was hosted by
Bill Crosby, so it's... Oh, dear. Oh, Bill Culls. Oh, no. That's not great.
Would I lie to you count as a game show? Because I think that's fun. Yeah, it's a
panel show. You kind of have to be a celebrity. Yeah, I suppose it's a panel show, isn't it? It's a fun show. It's a fun show.
okay
well anyway we've given our answers
I think that's that's good all round there
that's strunk
we have that was a very strong
yeah
strong set of answers there
oh strong
um
do you want a second question
before we go into a thing
oh yeah let's fucking do it
yeah
okay so generally speaking
we don't necessarily want
like just generic video game
related questions
like what's your favorite game
What's your favourite game character?
This one slightly intrigued me
because I genuinely don't know
what your answers would be
but what is your...
This is from Bjorn Q at Bjorn Q.
What's your favourite video game ending ever?
Oh God.
I think that's specific enough
that I would like to hear your answers personally.
This is while I rapidly try and remember
all the games I've played as my brain...
All the games you've ever played,
open your Steam library.
Yep, literally just done that.
God.
I would always...
Also, as I would like to repeat the sentiment, Peter said there,
we're not really a video game show.
We do get a lot of video game questions every time we ask for questions.
So do try to not ask those if you can, but you're right.
This isn't, this is a...
It's something we've specifically talked about before.
Yeah, it's the bullshit podcast.
Try and ask bullshit questions next time.
Ask something stupid.
Yeah, come on.
Yeah, sure.
I think, like, I mean, maybe I should go first.
I liked the ending to
Halo 1 and Halo 3
They were kind of similar to each other
The ending to Halo 2 was dreadful
It looked like there was going to be one more level
And then it just ended
And it's like oh
Great
What about the finale
He sort of implied that like
Here I go for the final fight
And then
Oh no that's the credits there
But also
I thought the final
Not necessarily the ending
Like the final cut scene
But the final boss
of Portal 2, I thought was super fun.
Oh, yeah, we've got to go to the moon.
Yeah, you're getting like completely, you know, beaten up.
You've learned from Cave Johnson in the basement
that portal surfaces are made of moon dust.
And you kind of think that's probably just a bit of a throwaway remark
that like, okay, well, it's made of moon dust, fine.
And then, you know, it looks like it's all over.
Then the ceiling crumbles and you just see the moon.
And you're like, oh, shit.
I know what I've got to do.
Are they doing this?
Yeah.
It was that moment of like, really?
Are we going to do this?
And I love how you fire the portal somewhere on the moon
and conveniently it lands exactly where the flag and moon buggy are on the moon.
Bloody good shot.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'd really love the ending in the portal too.
I think I'm not the kind of person who plays games a lot anyway
or even completes them for that matter.
But Super Mario Odyssey is from start to finish,
one of the most joyous gaming experiences
I've ever had
and the finale
with a jump-up superstar
like it's a big
firework show
you're just running through a level
it's really good
really joyous
and it wrapped the game up so well
that was a very very
very good bit of that game
I'm not even a Mario fan
and I played that and thought
this is really nice
it's just nice
yeah I like it
yeah
Ben
God I mean
I'm sure there are loads
that I'll think about afterwards
and I really like that one
Obviously, it's very impactful at the ending of, I suppose if you can call it the ending
of the original Pokemon games where you've finished the Pokemon League
and all your party get inducted into the Hall of Fame.
And then it means da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na.
And all your best boys and girls are scrolling past.
That's cool.
The suicide mission from the end of Mass Effect 2 is really...
That's a very powerful one.
What else?
I mean, if we're thinking recently, God of War has sort of two endings,
and at the end of the story, there are various secrets and revelations revealed that are like,
oh, that's cool, I like that.
And then there's sort of a post-credit scene if you go back to his house in the open world,
and it teases and sets up the next game, and that's really cool as well.
So, yeah, those are two, that's a recent example.
Obviously, the Last of Us as well.
Can't really talk about endings without The Last of Us.
It's a bit of a gut punch that one.
I didn't like the ending of The Last of Us.
It really kind of annoyed me.
I mean, yeah, it's not exactly a, you know, a heartwarming wrap-up.
Yeah, it might be intended to annoy you.
It's thought-provoking, I think.
Just me explicitly.
By that yardstick, I think it's a good, yeah, it's powerful.
Yeah, it's a good idea.
Also, I've just thought, Tone B2, slightly obscure game,
but that has the most, that is a very sort of heartwarming.
Everyone's all happy.
They all, the final cutscene is they're all like just having dinner together in someone's house.
And there's like this happy, almost sickeningly charming music playing.
And then when the credits run, it plays this really bittersweet almost like,
yay, we did it.
But I'm kind of sad that the game's over, like really happy music.
And in the background of the credits, it just runs like a highlight reel of like all the best moments of the gameplay throughout.
And you're like, oh yeah, I remember doing that.
Oh yeah, I did that too. I did that. Yeah. Go me. And that was just a nice, you know. It was like treacle or something. Just this is almost making me a little bit sick. It's too nice. You did good, kid. Yeah. On the topic of endings, I'm not even going to go video games here, but there's like, if for some reason in like kids and family films, they usually seem to end in like a dance party. And it's the worst fucking thing. Like I remember watching Night at the Museum as a kid.
and for some reason that film ends with
the entire museum having a whole big party
and it's like, what the fuck kind of ending is that?
Why? It's just so nothing, Ian.
I don't know why I'm getting a night at the museum.
It's not a film worth any critical acclaim,
but it knows me to this day.
Yeah, I was about to say,
George of the Jungle ends in a similar way.
But again, not exactly critically acclaimed.
Guys.
Yeah.
I've got a thing.
Yeah.
Oh.
You want to hear it?
Thing me.
Pushed it out.
So this is weird news, but it's real news.
Have you got the right podcast, Ben?
No, no, I promise you it's not gaming related.
Weird news.
Gay hell!
Wow, no.
US town renamed to protest LGBT flag ban.
This is from BBC News.
This is from the 18th of June.
Welcome to Gay Hell, Michigan, a tiny town with a new name and a new owner.
YouTuber Elijah Daniel 25 is making waves on social.
media this week after announcing that he's buying the small American town hell and
renaming it for Pride Month. Pride Month celebrates the global LGBTQ plus community
with a series of events and parades held annually throughout the month of June. Calling
the town gay hell is a protest against US President Donald Trump's ban on American
embassies flying the rainbow flag, Mr Daniel told BBC news. Known for his stunts, Mr Daniel
said his latest actions aimed to trick his young audience, mostly 15 to 24 year olds, and
paying attention to politics. The idea is they click my tweet and then they see the news behind it.
It's the way I get my audience interested, he explained. To be fair, that's what, I had no idea
that Trump had, what, banned flying any pride flags? No, I didn't know that. Yeah, embassies, yeah.
Oh, what the fuck?
U.S. embassies, apparently so. Oh, well.
There we are. Hell, which is about 60 miles from Detroit, has turned itself into a tourist destination
by capitalizing on its unusual name. In the town, you can buy the right to be mayor for the day,
A wedding chapel is available for couples who want to get married in hell
and visitors can visit the hellhole bar and hell saloon.
Oh, wow.
In 2017, Elijah Daniel made headlines when he became Hell's mayor
and announced he would ban heterosexuals from the town.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, it continues like that.
But basically, the previous owner of hell was trying to sell it.
Okay.
And so Elijah Daniel has bought hell,
and it's now called Gay Hell.
Does it say how much he bought it for?
That's incredible.
Yes.
Hell's owner has been trying to sell for a while,
but according to Mr. Daniel,
he wants to pass it on to someone
who will carry on the tradition.
Hell's owner.
The asking price is around
$1 million or $800,000, or $800,000.
Mr. Daniel says he will soon finalize
his purchase of the town,
at which point, Hell's new name will be made permanent.
God, amazing.
What a great place America is.
Yeah.
I just thought that was,
That was really weird.
That is weird.
On the topic of hell,
Claudia visited a cave system in the UK
recently called the devil's asshole.
Oh.
Yeah, it's lovely.
It's really cool,
but it's just the most delightful name.
That's in Thor Ragnarok.
Was that when she went to the Dales?
Yeah, yeah, she went to,
well, what's the theme park called?
Alton Towers.
Oh.
Is that the one we went to?
No, it wasn't, was it?
No, we went to Thor Park.
We went to the less well-known one.
Yeah, but still is good.
Yeah.
People lose their legs at Oldham Towers.
People lose their legs on all Merlin theme parks, don't they?
That's part of the USP.
I think enough time has passed now where we can talk about this again,
because we did openly talk about Merlin theme parks
and their reputation for having legs amputated openly on this podcast.
And then literally in the following week,
we're invited by Thought Park to visit their park.
Some people would call that defamation, but...
Yeah, I'm still not sure.
if they knew that we did that?
No, but we've kept quite about it for a while.
Someone just sort of tweeted Thorpe Park saying,
I don't think they really said exactly why we'd mention them in the podcast,
but I think they just sort of said...
They had a dream that they went there with you, right?
Oh, that was it.
So we talked about it, and then someone had a dream because we talked about it.
And just because they tweeted saying,
I dreamt that Peter went to Thorpe Park with me,
we got invited to Thought Park.
What they didn't know is the reason the person had that dream
is because we've been talking about how,
when you go to Thought Park,
You get your legs off.
Yes, the rides are so shoddy, you will lose your legs.
Yeah.
I totally forgot about that. Jesus.
Yeah, it's kind of mad, isn't it?
Yeah.
But that's hell, and so's this.
Welcome to Gay Hell.
You can visit it if you're near Michigan.
Incredible.
I really want to go to Detroit now.
It seems like a foot, well, fun isn't the word to use.
It's a very disparaged place, and there's a lot of problems there,
but it seems like visually very interesting.
It seems like a city.
It definitely is.
It exists.
Oh, ground and hell.
Why not?
It's only 50 miles from hell.
Gay hell, sorry.
It's only 50 miles from gay hell.
Yeah, thank you.
I love that someone's trying to sell hell.
Yes.
I've had enough.
I've been the owner of hell for so long.
The fact that you can buy a town in America is also kind of mad.
Yeah, that's kind of insane.
You can buy the mayorship of it.
You can get married.
Well, I mean, it's not that weird that you can get married in a town.
You get married in a town in America.
Oh, that's weird.
I hope you're married.
But, you know, they're selling it in that kind of way.
that you, I got married in hell.
All right, good for you, Jesus Christ.
It's like how I'm technically a lord, technically.
Yeah.
Not, and I was very nearly legally a lord as well.
Wow.
Because there's a place in, there's a few places in Scotland where you can buy,
I don't think we've spoken about this before.
Yeah, you can buy like a square foot of land on an estate
and be sent a certificate saying that you,
giving you the deed for that land, basically,
and saying that you are a lord.
So I've got a certificate that says,
Lord Benjamin Potter of Glencoe, and it can be used legally.
I got all the paperwork to get my driving license changed to be Lord Potter,
like my bank account details and everything,
and it sat on my desk for like six months, and then I sort of gave up.
But I did get my rail card.
They didn't want any proof.
They just let me put Lord on it.
Wow.
That's a fun one.
I think Amy's dad has done the same thing.
I think he might be a lord.
It's great.
I suggest everybody do it.
We can all be lords or lords, which I think is fun.
But, Ben, when everyone's a lord, no one will be.
Well, you say that.
But we'll see how many people can be asked to sort out the paperwork.
If everyone's a lord, then on the paperwork, it says I'm a lord.
It doesn't make a difference if everyone else is one.
I'm still a goddamn lord.
True.
Yeah. I am lord, yeah, yeah.
Ben and Michael.
I've got a question here from Miles
Question mark
Miles
Is it though
At Chubnub underscore
Oh quality quality
Ben and Michael
Is that Star Wars?
No
Chubnubb would he do
No it's not
Ben and Michael
Where do we go when we die
Don't say hell
Gay hell
Gay hell
What do you guys think happens when you die?
You wake up and you look around you and there's loads of school kids.
What?
And it turns out you're on 50-50.
Oh.
And you're just doomed.
Just shouting at you.
You're doomed to be on 50-50 for the rest of your pathetic life.
Conferring!
Imagine how fucked up it would be if reincarnation existed.
But you only get one full life.
and every time after that, you just sprang into an existence where you're about to die.
Oh, Jesus.
So after this life, you die, and then you reincarnated in the past as Hitler's dog moments before he gets shot.
Oh, God.
So it's like a sort of high score basis.
So depending on how long you survive in one life, that's the quality of your next life.
Yeah, let's go for that.
So it's just diminishing returns.
It's just based on how long you survive, not how good the, not how well you live your life, you know.
Exactly.
You don't get rewarded for being a good person.
and you just get rewarded for living long.
There we go.
Big life.
Yeah.
Where do you guys think you go when you die?
I know I'd want to go, but...
What's your idea of heaven, Mikey?
That's a big old question, actually.
Thought Park, but you don't lose a leg.
Oh, see, that sounds pretty good
because you're going to lose a leg if you go to Thorpe Park.
To be fair, when we went to Thorpe Park, it was kind of like heaven.
We got to skip all the cues.
We were escorted around.
We held up a ride full of children
so we could get a shot with Billy Ray War was so awkward
That was the awkwardest part of that day
Oh god
I think it would just be having a shit ton of money really
Just be healthy just like normal life
But just without any of the bullshit
Got money and I'm healthy
Yeah that sounds like heaven to me
Fucking yeah
I tell you to James very quickly
Thank you to James for
Yeah
Yeah, thanks, James.
Very much.
If he's listening.
He looked after us very well as well, didn't he?
He did.
Very good.
He held up an entire ride of children, as Michael said.
Yeah.
For us to get a photo with a toy.
Oh, God.
My idea of, like, the word, I think the worst thing that could happen.
Well, no, this isn't that.
Sorry.
When you die, I mean.
The worst thing that could happen, I've realized it's not what I was going to say.
The worst thing that could happen is, like, in the Doctor Who episode, where it turns out people are still
sort of conscious and can feel everything but they're dead and they've got like recordings like
spirit recordings of all these corpses saying please don't cremate me please don't cremate me
which sounds horrible but what I was what I was gonna say was to me the idea of being reincarnated
and just it being a complete you've got the same chance of being born as anyone in the entire world
that that that's horrible because we're very fortunate people
And I would, you know, no one should unfortunately have to live the way that some people live in the world.
And statistically, you'd live a lot more of those lives if you kept being born again and again and again.
So I sort of hope for everyone's sake that, number one, we can sort out poverty so that if we are going to be reincarnated, we'll all have a good time.
But number two, if we can't sort out poverty, I hope no one ever has to come back again.
because statistically, you're going to have a shit time.
It's okay, Peter.
I hear most of them have phones now.
Yeah, they do.
They better.
They better.
Oh, fuck.
That's a throwback.
But hang on, Ben.
If they've got phones, how come they don't have a house?
Well, that's the thing.
I don't understand.
They're special phones.
Right.
You press it.
There's an app and it just sort of explodes a big tent.
It's like an airbag.
It's fueled by copper coins.
You just put them in.
bit of credit. Yeah. Yeah, but you have to carry them in your buttocks first, right, Peter.
No, you only carry silver coins. In your special bottom purse.
We don't play the one P game. We don't, we don't carry coppers. Although a 2P would be big
enough. But I guess if you got reborn as a poor person, you can play the 2B2B game quite a lot.
He could.
It could. A good source of entertainment, cheap and fun. If someone gave you 20, if in a day of begging,
you got 25 2P coins, you could play the 15.
50P game.
Just put them all in there.
That's some fucking risky stuff.
You could legitimately lose
half of your actual world new possessions.
Up your bottom.
They'd be safe.
Yeah, they would.
You might get some kind of poisoning, though.
I wouldn't, yeah.
God.
Have you ever put a 2P in your mouth?
Yeah, when I was young.
I can't say that.
I know what they did.
taste like, but I can't say I've
masticated a penny.
No one's masticated them.
Michael.
Maybe once.
Okay.
It was in there for too long, but yeah, that was,
he had a kind of lingering, stingy flavor.
Michael, that might have been up my
granddad's bomb.
At some point, ten years ago.
Before we even knew each other,
that's how we crossed paths.
Yeah.
I recommend, if people are going to put coins in the mouth,
just stay clear of the 50Ps,
because it might literally have been between
my cheeks at some point.
Oh, jeez.
Oh, I'm fucking dying here.
Jesus.
Yeah, me too.
God.
That's good.
Have we all described hell?
Yeah, that was hell.
I think wherever the 50p goes, I think, is close to hell as you're going to get to.
We weren't even describing hell.
It was where you go when you die.
That says a lot about me, doesn't it?
Yeah.
It's got straight to hell.
We don't know.
No one knows Miles.
That's why you've got a question mark after the end of your name.
Miles?
Miles?
I've got a thing
if you want a thing
Oh, have you?
It's actually a fairly serious topic of discussion
Oh dear
Oh fucking great
Just after the talk of shoving 25
2Ps down our ass cracks
Yeah it's gonna feel very
It's gonna be very dry after that
Unlike the 2P coins
They're probably rather moist
Stop it!
Stop now
So on Twitter recently
Well, no, not on Twitter.
In my email inbox, I got a little one of those
without the slam noise.
Hang on.
Wait.
There you go.
A little ding.
In it came an email.
It's from the Twitter Corporation.
Oh.
What does Mr. Corporation want?
Well, I thought, it's unusual.
You don't normally get emails from Twitter.
I'm unsubscribed from all the junky ones.
So what's this?
I have received from Twitter
a DMC whatever the letters are
take down notice
No way
So I think it's DVLA
Yeah yeah you're right
It's run DMC
A DAB digital take down notice
I've received
Yeah
Which was news to me
You know obviously I've had them from
From the tubes, the YouTube's before
But apparently Twitter
Now take down
certain copyright ID'd material.
So I was like, oh, what's this?
So I clicked on it and they said,
such and such a company,
it's like always a company that sounds,
it's not the label of the song that you've used
and you're like baffled as to how they're able to take it down.
But anyway, this company has requested
that we remove this video from your Twitter backlog.
And it was, Michael, do you remember when,
I did your
noise but to the tune of childish Gambino
I was just thinking about that the other day
I was going to put that on the video to YouTube channel
Well that one is still live
Oh good
But also
A little later a few months after that
I did a yee version
You know the yee dinosaur
Oh my God
Yee
And it goes
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bomb bomb bomb
And then it says yee at the end
And in this email, not only was it's telling me that my video was being taken down,
but also they'd attached a copy of the legal letter that had been served to Twitter,
saying, you need to make sure your users have these videos taken off their account.
And it just had a list of like 12 of us and just named and shamed.
All these are the people who had all used the childish Gambino song.
it's called. That doesn't seem right. Yeah, that's...
You have access to that? No. So, that's all just public
to me. I, I am
aware of other people who broke the law in the
same way. And yeah, the video's just been taken down now as far as, I mean, I've not
even bothered checking, but it said it was going to be. So
apparently, Twitter's doing that now.
That sucks. I never knew that Twitter did that. That's got to be a new thing, right?
Because we've posted... I mean, people just... People just use Twitter
like that all the time just uploading any old crap
just because there's no monetization
so nobody's losing anything
technically. This is why I
this is one of the reasons why I love Twitter so
much now is that like all these
like stupid little ideas
where it's Michael just going
but to the tune of whatever
you know things like that
you can't put those on YouTube because even if you just use
the backing track and the vocals have been isolated
it even recognizes just instrumental
tracks now and stuff like that
but if I want to just make a
a stupid video that's like 10 seconds long but happens to have a song in it,
I can just throw it on Twitter and it's fun and we all get to enjoy it for a day
and then everyone forgets about it. Fine, let's move on.
Twitter's a blessing like that because you can just like make and share a little short form
content so well. It is really fun and God, I hope it doesn't continue that way
because it's not like Twitter's not exactly monetizable in a normal way like YouTube.
So I thought these issues wouldn't really matter. Yeah.
No.
So be warned.
Pirates, ye be warned.
That's such a shame.
It's especially weird as well that you...
It's almost like a data breach, isn't it?
You've got these other people's information.
Yeah, genuinely.
As well, that have broken the same rules that you have.
I'm just going to open, I'm going to see if I still have it.
I might have even...
I don't know if I would have deleted it.
Let's read them out.
Read them out.
Name and shame him.
I wonder if he'll get a DMCA, take down notes from the city of Stoke-on-Trent.
Oh, God.
For defaming their good name.
Fiddiots versus the city of Stoke on Trent.
Yeah, here we go.
At Maco the King 7,
at C.B. McGrath 24,
at High Steve 69.
Nice.
All these people, it's all the same song.
Glover.
Glover.
It's composed by Glover Lee, Glover Lye, Redbone.
Donald Glover.
Oh, of course, yeah.
Donald Glover.
Donald Glover, I forgot.
It's him, isn't it?
Wow.
So, Rick, all of those...
It's a very sad tale, actually.
Yeah?
Oh, well, hopefully we can continue to post shit on Twitter.
I mean, you remember when you and I had sort of a back-and-forth competition a few...
God, it would have been a couple of years ago now.
Where we just kept posting...
Sale.
Sale to each other, but just changing it to words that rhyme with sale
and then making a video to go along with it and just wasting company time.
Do you remember that?
that. Yeah, I, uh, because when I got this email, it made me go through, I went into the media tab and just sort of scroll down to all the fun, stupid videos I've made. And I was like, might just, might just back these up now just in case. And I saw all the sale ones. They were good. Oh. Did you ever do one that said quail? Yeah, Ben did quail. Oh, good, good. Did I? I can't even remember them now. I wouldn't have remembered them, but I did go back and watch them. Did you? Freshly refreshed. Yeah, I've archived.
them all. Well, I don't know if we've got them all, but some of them. I remember doing flail.
You did flail. And it was just in a medieval. It started because I just, I just did snail out of the
blue. I just, one day I woke up in the morning and I thought, let's do a thing where, like,
the camera pans across a field as it's going do-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d. And then at the last
minute, it's just snail, and then that's the end of the video. And then Ben suddenly did one in return.
and just snowballed out of it didn't go anywhere near as long as I was hoping that
I even added a folder to my favorites on Windows Explorer called Sale
and it had all the assets in it so I was ready I was always ready every day to make one
we did like I think you left my last one and answered actually and that was it
oh really yeah this gets sadder and sadder I know well it's because we I think it's
because we started to deviate like we were doing rhyming words and then I did one where
It panned across Shrek's swamp up to his door, his, like, toilet door.
And instead of sale, it just went, somebody wants to.
And then that was the end.
Breaking the format.
And then your reply to that, because I'd broken the rhyme rule, was it was the big, the head, the cromelon from Rick and Morty saying disqualified.
Oh, man.
And that was the end.
I got disqualified.
Oh, right.
So that explained.
So I killed it.
Because the rules were gone.
I guess so.
It was lawless.
Anyway, these are tweets that people will probably not be able to find
that we're spending a lot of time.
We are talking a lot about these.
Just scroll through mine or Ben's media tab
like a long way back.
2016 or 17?
It would be 17, like mid-2017.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Let us know if you find it.
We'll retweet it.
Yeah.
There you go.
You do the work.
Yeah, yeah. Someone tweet it to us, our own thread, and then we'll just retweet it for
everyone else. Thank you. Thank you in advance. Thank you for your discretion. Thank you. Thank you very
much. Boys.
Yours? Yours? In your opinion, in brackets, in your opinions, what fictional character
could do a better job as the President of the United States than Donald Flump, it says here.
I thought we were, I thought we were leaving
and we weren't going to be your opinions anymore.
Oh, very good, very good.
The Your Opinion Union.
That's from K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K.
That's at Slim Wendigo.
Can you think of a good fictional, someone who'd make a good president from fiction?
Oh.
It's quite a specific question, but...
The answer could be anything.
Who's a good leader?
Indiana Jones?
He's a bit reckless.
He wouldn't be interested, would he?
No, he wouldn't.
Yeah, he'd be too busy off adventuring, finding things.
You need a man, he's committed.
He knows the business.
Yeah.
All woman, all woman.
Oh, woman.
God, you're careful, Michael.
For the sheer God, what an earth would happen factor,
I'm going to go with a man.
Oh.
And I'm going to say the dad from fairly odd parents.
Oh, my God.
That would be...
Timmy's dad.
Very interesting.
I would, I just, there are so many possibilities there,
and I cannot begin to list all the amazing things
that that wonderful, powerful leader could achieve.
Oh, wonderful, powerful leader.
I think I'd go big bird from Sesame Street.
Oh, Jesus.
I think, like...
What would his policies be?
I don't know.
but I think they'd be nice and neutral.
It's just strictly anti-abortion.
Big Bird, no.
That's the one policy.
You are our guy.
All eggs are sacred.
No, Big Bird.
We don't work the same way as you.
Oh, God, Big Bird, no.
Don't do it.
I'd pick the bin one from Sesame Street.
Oh, yeah.
He's lived at the bottom.
He knows what it's like to be on, you know,
you know the bottom rung of the economy
yeah real people's man
Oscar the bin one
yeah
the present bin one
we have to get you out of here
no I would
I just had someone in my head then
I would pick
it was also a kids
kids TV character
because of course it was
we're idiots
oh yeah
Mr Ratburn and his new husband
oh that'd be very sweet
yeah
he's a man who's been in a position
of authority already
I know he sets a lot of cruel homework, but presidents can't do that, so we'd be safe.
Well, yeah, as president, he could make that possibility, so be careful.
Oh, my God, he could.
No, because the mandatory archery practice from the medieval days.
Oh, no.
Mandatory gear rat weddings for everyone.
Oh, no.
I don't want to marry a rat man.
It's the law now, son.
We've all got to do it.
Now do your rat homework.
Yeah, hand in your essay on the day I'm.
I married a gay rat man.
There's just going to be a load of weird rat rules.
Like, no more beds, just like newspaper, all cut up and stuff.
Straw.
Everybody drinks out of those feeder things now attached to your bedroom window.
Yeah.
Everyone pisses on glass bottles in pub, sellers and beer gardens.
And then other people say to people when they're drinking from the bottles,
don't do that.
A rat might have pissed on it and you'll go blind.
Anyone ever said that to you?
No.
That's the thing that people say.
I've heard dog piss doing that.
No, I think dog poo has the ability to make people blind.
It has worms in it and stuff, I think.
That can blind a child.
But yeah, if a rat is, like, pissed on a bottle
and you get rat piss in your mouth, that can blind you, apparently.
It's like the weird sister of bo-pice rat piss.
Oh, no.
Rat piss.
Maybe I wouldn't have Mr. Ratburn as president.
Maybe his husband, who's not a rat.
Is he not?
No, I've seen the episode because what did I use it for?
I used it for...
Oh, it was a tweet.
It was the worst games thing.
You know, when we named all the children's characters
in the most recent worst games ever.
Yeah, all of them.
Every single one.
In the Too Fast, Too Furious game.
And then when I looked up the episode,
turned out that their first down,
is to the music from the time split as disco level.
Yes, yeah, I remember. I saw your tweet. That's so weird.
Someone replied to me and said that that music itself is just a series of samples that are
like royalty-free that people have put together.
So I guess they both just got it from the same source.
Wow. Interesting.
Speaking of which, and I don't want to talk about games too much, obviously.
But my friend Simon, Simon.
Simon? No, no, not that's Simon.
he works for BFBS
Do do do do
No British forces
Broadcasting something or other
I think something like that anyway
And he makes a lot of videos about
Army personnel and armed forces
And stuff like that
And he was looking for appropriate music
For something
And I've always lauded Valiant Hearts
The Great War as having an incredible soundtrack
Right
It's you can just buy it
It's just music they bought
From a website
Oh, gosh.
Because he found it and then used it in one of his videos.
And I was so disappointed to find out that that amazing game
with a really touching amazing soundtrack was just from a...
You could just buy it and license it for any video.
Oh, it's not some sort of amazing, bespoke, composed, you know, award winning video game.
It might have been, but then they just, you know, the artist then sold it on.
I'm not sure, but that was pretty...
That was a bit of a bummer finding that out.
Rip, Ben's hopes and dreams.
Yeah, all of them, gone.
Michael, is it time for my thing?
I think so.
Yes, it is.
Go.
Would anybody like to hear about some accidents?
I don't know.
So, I spend an hour today scrolling through the Wikipedia page
full of accidents that have occurred on movie sets.
Oh.
Was work busy today?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I was absolutely stacked.
You have no idea, yeah, it's so busy.
So, yeah, I, movie sets are inherently very dangerous places,
action films especially, like crashes, explosions, all this bullshit going on.
So I thought I pick out some selected highlights dating all the way back to 1914.
Oh, I know.
Actors are superstitious as well, right?
There's all sorts of acting curses and nonsense.
Oh, God, yeah.
I know a film that had a lot of accidents, which I won't, you know,
I won't go into what they were,
because it might be part of your thing.
But I'll call it now.
Is the Wizard of Oz on there?
Oh, it's not actually.
Oh, a lot went wrong there.
We'll talk about it after.
The witch is actually melted.
Fuck.
And the monkeys, when they jumped out the window, they just fell.
Yeah, their wings didn't work.
I was promised the monkey wings were real.
You literally threw me out of a 12-story castle turret.
They just didn't inflate.
Can you give me, do you have any off the top of your head?
happened on the Wizard of Oz.
Yeah,
you know when
the wicked witch
appears in Munchkin land
there's like
just red smoke
appears on the ground
and she's suddenly in it
well the way that
they did that
in back in the days
of no CGI
is there was just a
very narrow
disc of floor
that would come up
and down like a lift
but it moved
really quickly
and apparently
like the first time
she did it
I think when she was going
back in again when she left,
she like broke a bone or
something really badly
or, I don't think she broke
it because I think she got well enough
to potentially be doing it again,
do a retake, and she said, I'm not
going to do it. And I think
they got a sort of a double
to do it. And when the double did it, they
got injured too. Wow.
Also, the Tin Man
was the second man
cast to play the Tin Man because the first man
had a horrible reaction
to the silver paint on his body,
and it left him, like, genuinely, like,
fighting for his life for a time.
Wow.
And I think some other things happened as well.
Holy shit.
It's not just lead-based paint.
It's just melted lead.
Oh, God. Yeah.
Molten hot.
Mmm, delicious.
I'll look up what exactly what happened with The Witch
because I can't remember, but please go on.
So the first one is,
Across the Border, filmed from 1914.
While on location in Canyon City, Colorado,
cast member Grace McHugh was filming a scene where her character was crossing the Arkansas River on a boat
when the boat suddenly capsized and camera operator Owen Carter immediately jumped in to save her
but it doesn't end here. When he jumped into save her, he dragged her onto a sand bar that turned out to
actually be quicksand. Oh God. The rest of the film crew watched helplessly as they were sucked
into the quicksand and drowned. Oh my God. I didn't think quicksand actually worked like that.
Apparently it does.
It can do.
Man.
Jesus.
You think you're saving someone
and end up giving them
an even more painful death.
Well, the thing is,
people float.
She probably would have been fine.
Yeah, you're not meant to move,
are you, when you're going quick.
Yeah, he's just trying to lie on your back
or something, I think.
Oh, God.
My story I've just realized
is actually a lot worse
than I thought as well.
Much like yours just sounded like,
oh, well, someone fell in.
Hopefully they were okay.
It wasn't to do with the lift
moving fast and someone breaking bones.
it was that as the lift goes down and up
and the smoke is there
there's a big blaze of fire
that comes out of the hole
and apparently
Hamilton, that's the surname
of the lady who played the witch
Margaret I think she was called
yeah Margaret Hamilton
Margaret
she suffered from second degree burns
on her right hand
and first degree burns
on the side of her face
the first time that they did this
and because of the burns she had to heal for six weeks
before returning to set
Um, and I'm sure I read somewhere that like, um, that like a double did it as well and also, uh, you know, also got injured.
But anyway, oh dear.
Yeah, let's hear about more people drowning in quicksand, Mikey.
Oh boy.
Yeah, more quicksat.
This one's, I think, actually my favourite on the list.
So this is about, uh, the woman God forgot, a 1917 film.
In one scene, extras were required to be thrown over the side of an Aztec pyramid.
The quote-unquote pyramid was built out of wood
and covered in paper on which sand
had been glued on to create the appearance of stone.
I don't like that.
The extras were quote-un-quote sand-papered
as they slid down the structure.
Oh, no.
The worst bit of this is, I'll continue,
having expected such injuries,
a crew member was waiting at the bottom
with a bucket of iodine.
No way.
God damn.
It's like, fuck you, yeah, you're going to get burned.
like oh that would suck so much
the film industry used to be insane
like the amount of stuff
they would like just kill
animals on film
because back then there weren't like
enough regulations about it's like
oh we need like a
we need a horse to get shot
in this film okay shoot a horse
grab the horse
yes
in an unidentified
Henry Lehman comedy in 1919
comedian Billy Ritchie
while working on a short comedy film
was kicked in the stomach
by an ostrich and sustained internal injuries.
Oh, that's quite a fun one.
He didn't die, thank you.
Yeah, it's just internal injuries.
That's fine.
Fight with an ostrich.
We've all been there.
Oh, the title of this film, I fucking love it.
Haunted Spooks.
As opposed to the regular kind.
Nauty scare time.
I guess, spies.
So this is in 1920.
On the set of a publicity shoot
that took place while filming,
actor and comedian Harold Lloyd
picked up what he thought was a prop bomb
with the fuse lit
but realized too late the bomb was real
it detonated blowing off the thumb
and first finger in his right hand
and also temporarily blinding him
why was there a lit bomb
on set
and why was he close enough to it to pick it up
yeah what the fuck
that's insane
just mad from stuff like the idea
that the film didn't involve a bomb at all
He just, he saw the bomb and was like, oh, didn't know this was a scene.
Oh, make that good picture.
Even if it was fake, though, why would you pick it up if it was lit?
Yeah, it's lit fan.
That's some Darwin stuff right there.
In The Conqueror, the 1956 film, the exterior scenes were shot on location near St. George, Utah,
137 miles downwind of the United States government's Nevada test site.
In 1953, extensive above ground.
nuclear weapons testing had occurred at the test site. By 1981, 91 of the crew and cast
had developed some form of cancer and 46 had died of the disease.
Jesus. That is not good. That's like, that's a colossal fuck-up. That's insane.
Yeah. I wonder if they got any compensation for that.
I have, it doesn't say here, it also goes on to say several of Wayne and Hayward's relatives
also had cancer scares as well after visiting the set.
It's a fun time for all.
This is a good one.
The film, shark! exclamation mark.
Would anybody like to guess what happened?
Were there real sharks involved?
Yeah.
So this was a 1969 film, and a stuntman was mauled to death on camera
when a shark, which was supposed to have been sedated, suddenly attacked.
Oh, God.
Why would you sedate a...
It's just like, a lot of these, it's not even, like, accidents.
It's just fucking negligence.
It's stupidity.
Yeah.
God.
Cover up.
Cover up in 1984.
While waiting for filming to resume, actor John Eric Hexham played Russian roulette with a 44 magnum loaded with a blank.
What?
The gunshot fractured his skull and caused massive cerebral hemorrhaging when bone fragments were forced through his brain.
Yeah, if you shoot point blank with a blank, it does like serious damage to you.
That's insane.
It still gives off a ton of energy.
It'll just fuck you up.
This is quite a fun little one.
I think I'm kind of getting a pattern going here.
I get a fun one, serious one, fun one, serious one.
Okay, I'm ready.
In the 1987 film Full Metal Jacket,
actor Vincent Donofrio, who had deliberately increased his weight to £280 in order to play
the overweight Marine recruit, twisted his knee during filming on the boot camp scenes.
It was so badly injured, he required surgical reconstruction.
Oh, dear.
Because he had all that weight on his knee.
Yeah, what the fuck?
Did you ever see that video?
I think it was at BlizzCon,
where there was some guys dancing on stage
and a very stereotypical looking nerd
gets up on stage,
jumps up once,
lands on his ankle and completely rules it,
and he's...
Oh, God, no, I haven't seen that.
It's really funny.
He just...
He literally does a bit of movement
and then collapses to the floor and pain
and has to be dragged off.
Oh, God.
Poor guy.
He just wanted to get his buggy on.
And gravity is a cruel mistress.
She just wanted to go down to funky town.
The Passion of the Christ, 2004.
Oh no, what happened to Jesus?
Oh, you'll never guess.
Jesus.
Did they literally crucify the actor
because it was just easier than special effects?
And he died.
Sadly, not quite.
I thought you were meant to have sedated the Romans, guys.
They just mauled him to death.
In playing the rule of Jesus Christ,
Jim Caviesel, I don't have, brands that last name.
Jim Cavizel.
I think that's about right.
Yeah, I'll take that.
Sustained gashes to his back from multiple whippings,
hypothermia, and a separated shoulder from carrying a giant cross.
God.
He was also struck by lightning before filming the sermon of the mount scene.
No way.
Oh, that's great.
That's a fucking message, if anything.
Yeah, that's a sign from God, for sure.
I've seen, I remember, we watched it in,
at school in
like year 10 or something
and I remember
thinking when they're
like flaying him there's this bit
where they like
it's worse than a whip it's like a whip
with like it looks like it's got razor blades
on the end like hooked razor blades
and they go into his back
and then the guy can't even get it out of his back
so he has to like put his foot on Jesus's back
and like yank these blades
out of his back and it looked really
realistic and I was like
have they, did they just, was the actor like such a devout Christian that it was like, I want you to literally, because people do that in, particularly in South America, there's these weird Easter festivals where people get like, apart from the nails in their hands, they get like whipped and cut up and then they get like hung from a cross just by ropes. And it's because they're so, you know, like devout. They're like, yeah, you know, I should do this for my faith. So I wondered if it was real.
flagellating.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, God, it's mental.
I just, like that, I mean, fair enough.
It's bloody mental, but they're doing it for a reason, like,
they want to just relive the pain Christ supposedly went through.
And, but in a film, you can fake a lot of that.
Yeah.
You can just change the angle a bit.
The bit I'm talking about might well have been faked,
but it looked really realistic.
It was very convincing.
And the fact that you're saying he suffered multiple whippings,
I'm kind of inclined to believe they put blades in his back.
I don't know.
Jesus.
It's also because known racist Mel Gibson is a lunatic.
And he directed that one, didn't he?
Yeah, yeah, he did.
Mel, Melanie Gibson, Mel G.
Mel G.
I didn't know this.
This is quite a weird one.
And lost the TV show in 2010.
While filming a fight scene for the series finale at the end,
Terry O' Quinn mistakenly stabbed Matthew Fox with a real knife
instead of a collapsible one.
Luckily, Fox's life was saved by the Kerrower.
vest underneath his shirt.
Again, how does that happen?
How is there a real knife there?
Like, the thing is, there will have been someone on set there
whose only job it would have been
was to make sure he didn't have the real knife in his hand.
There should never have been a real knife on set at all.
Well, yeah, true.
Well, I guess for certain shots,
they might have needed a real one
and certain shots had to be collapsible.
But like, yeah, like you say,
it's someone's job, just, okay,
keep track of the real knife,
make sure that in the scene where he stabs him
with the collapsible knife,
that it's a collapsible knife, you know?
Yeah.
He had one job.
These last two are very morbid.
I should have ended on a happier one, but we're going to go for it.
Are you boys fans of the Hobbit film series?
I think they're all right.
I don't watch the first one, though.
Yeah.
Well, it turns out as many as 27 animals were killed during the production of this film.
Oh, no.
Good.
How a lot of animals?
Go on, Peter Jackson, you're...
Mainly from hazardous conditions of the first.
farm they were housed in. Several goats and sheep fell into a sinkhole under the farm.
Oh, what? What? Yeah. A goat sinkhole. I didn't actually like acknowledge that line
properly when I first got it. That's fucking hilarious. That makes sense. One horse was hobbled and left
on the ground for three hours. Another horse was killed after falling off an embankment of an overcrowded
paddock. One horse had the skin and muscles of a tag torn off by wire fencing and several chickens
were more to death by unsupervised dogs
or trampled by larger animals.
Oh my God.
Why were they all in just one tiny pen?
Yeah.
This is a really shit farmer.
This is like our Minecraft farm.
This isn't legal, right?
Is it?
Oh, no, the goat sinkhole.
Oh, no.
Had they all been shoved into a single Hobbit hole together?
There's like three horses,
four goats, loads of chickens.
They're all just squished into a Hobbit barrow somewhere.
God.
It's like, oh, Mr. Jackson, we're not using this set for a couple of weeks.
Do you want to shove the animals in there?
Yeah, I should go for it.
Don't put them in that one.
That's where Azda gets their ready meal meat from.
Actually, they don't mind.
Any animal do.
Mm, delicious.
Now, the last one is a real doozy.
I think...
Oh, Busby's coughing up.
I'm going to double check.
He's okay.
Okay.
Yeah, go check on the ferret, man.
Peter, what's been your favorite one so far?
Oh, I've really loved the one where the woman
drowned in Quicksand, that was great.
Yeah, that was really good. That was a good one.
Yeah. And the man that drowned as well.
Yeah, I liked it when the goat drowned in the goat hole.
Yeah, the ones where things actually died or had permanent irreversible, like, damage done and diseases inflicted upon them.
Yeah, I wasn't such a huge fan of, like, the accidents ones, or I'm all about the fatality ones.
I don't know where he is.
Okay.
Oh, but he's making noises.
Oh, is he gone again?
He's gone now, yeah.
Okay, anyway, yeah, as I was saying,
I'm all about the fatalities, Peter.
Yeah, the ones where people, you know,
just sort of injured themselves a bit
and were in hospital for a few weeks
and then they made a full recovery.
Boring.
Shit, rubbish.
I like the ones that caused actual trauma
and anguish for loved ones.
That's what I'm all about.
Yeah, no, me too.
Mainly.
In fact, I think we should bring that back.
You know, there's so much health and safety nowadays.
Why aren't you allowed to shoot a horse anymore?
Yeah, nobody dies anymore.
There's too many people.
Yeah.
Well, unless you're in Peter Jackson movie.
Where exactly, yeah.
If you're a horse in a Peter Jackson film, you're probably fucked.
Did you know that...
Did you know that...
Did you know that in Titanic,
they actually just sank an enormous ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean
and allowed 1,500 people to drown to death in freezing cold water?
Where was the only way?
Yeah.
How else were they going to make it realistic?
Well, I don't know.
I mean, it was the late 90s.
It was very difficult.
difficult to do that convincingly.
And that's why Leonardo DiCaprio hasn't acted since as well,
because he's just at the bottom of the sea somewhere.
Yeah, he got Leonardo decapitated.
He really did.
Decapra, yeah, no, you got it.
You got it.
I don't know what I was trying to do.
What do you want to do at work tomorrow?
I'm sure the ferret's fine.
Yeah, if it's not, we'll feel really bad about it.
Because Michael will have this audio.
Sorry, every one minute.
I'm just corking him out from under the dishwasher.
Okay, that's fine.
We're having a nice conversation.
He's gone.
He's gone again.
Yeah, what do you want to do at work tomorrow, Pete?
I've got to edit the tail end of my voiceover.
And start editing worst games ever.
Yeah, you're going to have time?
Yeah.
We've got to do a podcast tomorrow.
Yeah.
We've got a stream in the afternoon.
Yeah, I don't have to go.
finish either of, you know,
well, I'd like to finish the voiceover, but that
won't take long, but I don't have to finish the
worst games edit until next week.
Oh, that's nice.
Okay, sorry about that.
That's okay. Is he alright? He just sniffed up some
dust, I think. He's still under there, but you'll be
fine. Okay.
Good. The joys are born in ferrets.
Hooray.
Anyway, I'll start again.
So this last one is a real
dozy. I think it's probably one the worst
accidents, in recent history
at least for cinema. It took
place during the filming of Resident Evil
the final chapter, 2017.
Okay. They released
actual zombies. Someone was
mauled to death. They unsodated
the zombie. Oh, that'd be quite fun,
yeah. Let's get some real zombies. Come on.
Film. Hollywood, you've got the money you can make
them. Come on, film he would.
The reality, a little bit less fun.
Okay. So stunt double, Olivia
Jackson was severely injured in a
motorcycle accident on set in South
Africa in September 2015, leaving her in a medically induced coma for two weeks.
During a high-speed motorcycle chase, she collided with a camera arm. Among Jackson's injuries
were cerebral trauma, a crushed and de-gloved face. Oh, no. That is the worst sentence I've
ever had to read. De-gloved. God. A severed artery in her neck, a paralyzed arm, several
broken ribs, a shattered scapula. Scapular. Scapula?
scapula, that's your collarbone, isn't it, I think.
I'll go with that.
A broken clavicle, torn fingers with a thumb that needed to be amputated,
and five nerves torn out of her spinal cord.
Oh, my God.
That is really bad.
That's a hell of a list.
So her paralysed left arm was amputated in June 2016,
and days after Jackson's accident,
crew member Ricardo Cornelius was crushed to death by a Hummer H1,
that slid off a platform he was operating.
Oh, God, I think I might have heard about that one in the news.
Yeah, it was big news, because it was like an absolute disaster.
Yeah.
Like, the first accent happened.
It's like, oh, God, that's awful.
And then someone got crushed by a fucking truck.
Oh, that's really bad.
And it's such a shame that that film was inevitably crap as well.
Yeah, imagine having, like, being de-gloved for a resident evil film.
The scapular is the shoulder bone.
and the clavicle, which you also mentioned, is the collarbone.
Basically, she was fucked up from head to toe.
Well, yeah, pretty much.
I don't think you really matters.
Poor woman. That's horrible. That's just a terrible thing.
But thankfully, these kind of things don't happen all too often anymore.
It's mainly thanks to people in the 1910s putting sandpaper on wooden pyramids.
That accident's happened.
But arguably the worst ones in that list were the two most recent, I would say.
Yeah, true.
I think it was in dead.
Pool 2. There was like a motorcyclist was killed in that. So yeah, don't be an actor or even a crew
members. It's not worth it. No, just don't go near films. It's dangerous. Well, thank you so
much, Mikey. I'm glad I could bring us some happiness to the podcast. Yeah. No, absolutely. I learned
a lot. Don't feel safe now. Yeah, don't go outdoors. Anywhere. That's good. Oh, so we've got one
question left
yeah
this is from
Brightside
spelt B-R-Y-T-E
side
at Brightside underscore
who asks
what childhood norm
did you rebel against at the time
but now you really
enjoy or understand
for example
naps, vegetables
certain rules
I mean
I know that
certainly I and
And probably Ben as well, and probably Michael, would agree that people just being noisy and obnoxious, like, in the street or, you know, with their window open on, like, a Sunday afternoon.
Just, like, have some goddamn respect for everyone else.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't need to hear your music.
I don't want to hear you screaming and shouting.
I want to just sit and enjoy the day and shut the fuck up, please.
yesterday I was walking home from the office
and I encountered two people
having a conversation with each other
about 50 feet apart and just screaming
every sentence at each other
God
it was just go a bit closer and shut up
God
vegetables are pretty good now
yeah
I'm not going to lie when you have vegetables
you feel like a superhero
yeah I've done good
yeah so that's pretty nice
yeah I used to be very anti-vegetable
but I do eat a lot more
now also not being allowed to eat bad food all the time yeah that's yeah that's i need i need
that kind of supervision yeah you learn that lesson hard growing when you've grown up i can have this
any time i want oh but i feel sad and fat and tired and i'm covered in spots this isn't good
i as a kid used to really hate baths did you i've always loved baths you have detole baths
Well, yeah, I did just have Dettel bath, so maybe that's why.
I would get so angry if I had to go on that bath.
I'm like, I don't want to do this, and I'd avoid it.
Don't put me in the sting, sink.
Ah, it hurts, mommy.
I used to avoid it all costs, but I think over the years I've come to love, I love baths,
and I especially miss it now.
I don't have a bath in my flat.
I just wish I could soak.
Just put some Dettol in the shower, just on the walls.
It's time to test how tightly sealed those shower doors are.
Yeah, just fill it up.
Fill that mother up.
It's like how some smells bring back happy memories for me.
It's Dettel.
Mommy, no.
Well, you shouldn't have slid down that sandpaper pyramid, Michael.
I've got the I-A-D ready.
Were Dettled Dettle-Barths your Vietnam, Michael?
Maybe, actually.
I think, yeah, I haven't smelled Dettel in a while,
so maybe I'll have some kind of traumatic flashback when I do post-traumatic sync disorder.
One of the questions, I don't have the name now for Citation.
but someone asked, and I nearly asked this,
because I thought it was an interesting question,
but I thought you might come up blank with answers.
Like, what smell do you, like, really, really like?
And what's like one of the worst smells you've ever smelled in the world?
Oh, God.
In the history of your life.
I guess Detol, you could say that, you know, brings back,
what is it, happy memories or bad memories, your death-all smell?
The main instance of debt-all usage in our house
was when I was hit over the head with a brick.
Yeah, I remember that.
Not a great tag.
Yeah.
Detal.
Probably concussed.
Probably some long-lasting damage, but no, a bath will do.
Just put your head in the water.
You'll be fine.
There's a lot of really bad smells out there, but I think we can uniformly agree
walking into a public bathroom, whether it be at work or just in public, that somebody
else has made a real mess of and it smells.
Having to deal with someone else's stink is probably one of the ones.
worst smells just from the fact that it's you don't have to be there and it's not your fault yeah i think i can
pinpoint the worst smile i've ever smelled to the bus station in the town center of sunderland
the men's toilets is the most stinging painful visceral smell it goes beyond the sense of smell into
taste like it invades your throat you can feel on your skin it's just it was strong piss
I mean, because I was going to say, arguably, I think, you know, Ben was saying public toilets, you know, whether it's out in the, in the real public or if it's in just, it's just in a building, like in the office. I think it's usually worse in like something like the office toilets because public toilets generally just smell so strongly of either piss or the cleaning stuff that they use. And yeah, it's not a nice cleaning smell. It's like a blend of cleaning smell and piss and shit.
But it at least sort of, it doesn't smell of pure turd.
But like, sometimes you go into an office toilet and it's bad.
Very bad.
Yeah.
So, yeah, what child had norm did you rebel against but now really enjoy or understand?
We've done some.
We've answered the question.
That's good enough.
I'd say we've done it.
I used to not want to sleep.
Like, I want to stay up.
Well, I still want to stay at really late.
But also in the morning, I would just.
get up straight away.
But now it's like, no, I want my full eight hours.
Thank you very much.
I'm a full eight hours asleep.
If you get it.
I've always been about a heavy sleeper, though.
I just don't wake up.
In terms of a nice smell, though, very quickly.
Yeah.
Really good smell.
Like a lemony smell.
And I'm not talking like cleaning products, lemony smell.
I'm talking like someone has baked something infused with lemon.
And it just smells really nice.
Yeah.
Yeah, like natural lemon, not chemical.
Yeah, like a citrusy.
Nice smell.
It's sharp and refreshing.
Oh, yeah.
It's a good smell.
Sounds good.
New sheets.
Clean sheets.
That's a nice smell.
Clean sheets.
I don't mean new sheets out of the packet.
I mean, when you're, you know, it's laundry day.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You smell a bit like vinegar when it's out of the packet.
Yeah, no, it's not great.
I think, not what you're after.
Inverse to Ben's natural lemon smell, I really like the smell of chemical apple.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I can get that.
Yeah, it's so sickly, but it's really nice.
A friend once had washing up liquid.
That was apple-scented.
Oh, it was so good.
I drank the whole bottle.
It's delicious.
My coop's just shot out.
How much, how strong is this?
Should I add two-thirds of a cup of water?
Or is it, can I just drink it straight?
I, we once had, when we lived in quite an old house in the country at one point,
we, a mouse died in the wall, just in the wall.
Oh, Jesus.
Yeah, it may have been.
Jeff. It could have been a mongoose, I suppose. And it was just down some wall cover to somewhere
and there was just no way to get it. And so basically just said on the internet, sorry, but you're just
going to have to wait until it's completely rotted away, which can take, you know, depending on
the climate and stuff, it can take just a few weeks or it could take a lot longer. So for a
period of, I think it took quite a while, really. It was like two or three months. We had very strong
plug-in, you know, air fresheners in every plug on the landing in the house.
Oh, just a mask the dead mouse.
Yeah, but kind of unfortunately or fortunately for me,
it was one of my favorite smells, which is it's a kind of smell.
They only tend to do at Christmas time where it's like kind of spiced apple.
It's like cinnamon and apple.
Yeah.
It's kind of hard to kind of know unless you, you'll definitely, like,
you'll be able to find it at Christmas.
It's kind of, once you smell it, you're like, oh yeah, that's the smell.
But that's Christmas.
I really like that smell.
And I was concerned at one point that like, oh no, this is going to ruin that smell for me
because I'm going to forever associate it with like dead mouse.
But I think actually it's had the inverse effect.
And now if I'm like walking along, if I'm walking the dog or whatever and we walk past
a dead animal that smells a little bit, I don't.
How often does that happen?
Well, I mean in the countryside, not in, you know, the street, but, you know, if we're on the back road and there's just a squashed hedgehog, if it smells like it's a rotting hedgehog, it's still not very pleasant smell, but I think I can cope with it a lot better than I used to because I just associate it with Christmas now.
Oh, just the sweet smells of Christmas. A dead hedgehog.
Christmas hedgehog.
Delicious.
Nice.
Well, gentlemen, I think we did it.
What an ending.
This is Mambo number five.

Oh. Oh. God, sorry, I'm distracted. My ferret's been sat on the floor for five minutes in the same spot. What's you doing? What's you doing?
Oh, okay, so I accidentally left some salmoneal treat on the floor.
And so she's just being having a whale of a time.
