Starting point is 00:11:19 Over to you, Tiny Peter. I am Question Master today. I brought some questions from the fans who have submitted them on Twitter. Firstly, I would like to officially apologise to Bjorn Q, who I forgot to name drop in the previous podcast. The final question, I never got round to actually saying who had submitted it. So thank you, Bjorn.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Thank you, Bjorn. For that question. Thanks, Bjorn. Thank you, Bjorn. Question number one for today comes from Gaseous Snake at I Did a Long Pooh. Oh, good, good, good. Good, good. Good, solid name. Gacius Snake asks, what's your favorite thing that you guys did whilst at the Yogs cast?
Starting point is 00:12:03 Oh, God. Now, I think this is a question we've had on triple jump before, on like a stream or something, but I don't know if we've talked about it on the podcast, on Podios. I just think the entire concept of idiots has this weird contained mess with a random fucking piece of law like we joined the Yogscast and we said no we're not just become a let's play channel
Starting point is 00:12:27 we're going to become something very different and very fucked up and I'm proud of us for doing that god damn yeah no definitely the fact that we have a YouTube channel now where we can upload videos of us eating Twixis and its content is something I'm proud of it's content and it's part of the Yogs cast network.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Yeah. It is still officially part of the Ogscast network, yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. God.
Starting point is 00:12:51 I mean, if I was to think literally in terms of things that being at the OXCast allowed us to do, I'd say that
Starting point is 00:13:00 Tomb Raider thing was so much fun. Oh yeah. And the fact that it was shot like an actual TV show as well where we could go home with it,
Starting point is 00:13:08 you know, and then upload it to the channel. That's cool. I like that. It was like an episode of Jungle Run. but all about us. My favourite bit of that was, like, before we went into the room,
Starting point is 00:13:18 we had to do a little piece to camera and talk about, you know, how excited we are to do it. I'm pretty sure everyone else did it in one take, but they gave us three takes to do ours, and they still went for the first take. I don't know what they wanted from us. Yeah. No, it was weird.
Starting point is 00:13:31 I mean, they probably wanted, you know, typical Instagram person. Like, hey, guys, I'm here at the Tomb Raider Experience. Let's have fun. And instead, they got three men grunting and screaming about. They got the idiots, basically. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Yeah. It was early days, but we knew what our style was. We did, yeah. No, I definitely, I mean, yeah, like, I think Michael's answer is as good as any in that, you know, the overall, the fact that we just did, you know, a kind of, I think someone once described as, it's like Dick and Dom and da Bungalow, but they can say cunt.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Yeah. Something like that. The fact that we just did that in general across the entire year was great. But if I had to pick a specific thing, I really liked most if not all of the Prove It Live Action Challenges that we did I really liked the R1 I thought that was quite a good video The cooking
Starting point is 00:14:24 Basically any any live action content that we did there I thought was all really good stuff Because they were always these kind of weirdly scrabbled together things With whatever we could find for cheap or free in the office We just made it work didn't we Everything we did we just made it work Hey remember when we were dressed as nights and we jumped into my car and drove to the beach.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Oh my God, yeah. It got complex to the end, didn't it? It did, yeah. It did. God bless. That was good. I liked that. I did enjoy going to Dunster to film.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Just because it had a castle. That was the only reason. And it was like, what are we learning from this prove it? Yeah, we reverse engineered the prove it around the fact that. We did. We reverse engineered a lot of content. Right. So we've got a castle.
Starting point is 00:15:08 What are we going to do? I don't know. It was just something. Just fucking. What's a medieval game? Medieval games? Right, so we've been sent two giant rolls of bubble wrap.
Starting point is 00:15:17 What are we going to do? Well, I've got a car. Oh, fantastic. Yeah. Yeah, there was a lot of that. Well, very good. Good times. Good times had by all. I'm pooped.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Okay, thanks, Peter. You get a nap. We've got another question right here from... I think it's... It might be AMI. It's AMI, but there is a bearded man in the... Is it Ami Desanj?
Starting point is 00:15:45 It is Ami Desanj. Oh, wow. It's the one who's expecting a bebebe. Ami de Sange is expecting a babi. At Ami de Sange on Twitter says, What's your most unpopular opinion? Oh, dearie me. Man, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:04 I like to think of myself as someone who doesn't hold very controversial opinions, apart from sort of petty personal taste things. Like, I don't like the idea of pineapple on pizza. Oh, my God, crazy, right? Yeah. I don't know. But is there any, like, I mean, something that springs to mind for me,
Starting point is 00:16:27 and I don't even know if this, I don't think this isn't even an impopular opinion anymore, but like, you know, in terms of pop culture things that are critically acclaimed and loved by most people, I just don't get friends at all You've got loads of friends, man Yeah, I know I just don't get them though
Starting point is 00:16:46 They don't stay But I think friends is actually I think people looking back on it It's slightly less popular now than it used to be I think there's still a massive fan base for it But I've definitely noticed a bit of a change in the trend On social media Where people have said
Starting point is 00:17:06 Oh yeah friends was Yeah, it wasn't actually that good, was it? But I think still for the most part, people liked it. And I never did. I think that's a sign of a younger population, though, because as far as I know, everyone who likes friends didn't start watching it like three years ago. They watched it as a kid when it was on.
Starting point is 00:17:22 I think a lot of that holdovers from that. No, you're right. That is the case. That's my controversial opinion. You're all young if you don't like friends. I think you're right, though. But yeah, I, you know, I've never really, I never really liked it. But then, I guess there aren't that many American sitcoms,
Starting point is 00:17:44 especially with canned laughter, that I do enjoy. So it's probably not just friends, but that's just probably the most popular one. Peter. Yeah. Scenario for you. Mm-hmm. You go to bed tonight. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:56 You wake up on the famous, the world famous, friends sofa. Oh, yeah. And Rachel walks in. and she says oh hi peter are you ready to do 90s things with me today and you're like well i mean i'm engaged i don't know if i can do that and she says no silly ross is ross my my close friend and your close friend too will be here soon and we're going to go to the coffee shop where we live and live in a coffee shop and do this is my understanding of friends i haven't really seen it um Correct me if I'm wrong. We're going to go to the coffee shop and we're all going to hang out.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Joey's going to be there and he's going to talk about the big audition that he did for the sex cream. That's the thing. That was the story, right, Michael? Yeah, that was it. Yeah. Chandler's going to be there. He's so sarcastic. You are not going to like him. Oh, Superintendent Chandler. Superintendent Chandler is going to be there. You've also got, you know, the strange one who seems like a absolute nightmare to be. be around. Phoebe's going to be there. Yeah, and you've also got a little bit of, the smelly cat one. Yeah, we all love smelly cat, don't we? Phoebe, the smelly cat, yeah. Yeah. That was, that was fun.
Starting point is 00:19:16 That was a fun thing. And you were there for it as one of the friends. And of course, there's also a little bit of moniker as well. Of course, in my life. Now, there's the door. And then she looks at you dead in the eyes. Her pupils dilate so much that her eyes just become voids of darkness. Oh, God. And in a much deeper voice, she says, He says, Peter, if you leave through that door, you can return to your reality now. However, if you spend the day with us, you can become a friend's, and at the end of the day, we will return you to your reality. And then she returns to normal. What do you do?
Starting point is 00:19:56 I tell her to not drink so much Central Perk coffee, for starters. That's why her pupils have gone all like that, I think. but then after that I mean it doesn't really matter whether it's friends or not I think I would always be interested in trying a 24-hour experience
Starting point is 00:20:13 of being in anyone else's life or you know maybe not anyone with but what if you get to the coffee shop and they're all pretending it's real but you can see that the coffee shop is just a set and there's loads of people filming you and how do you react
Starting point is 00:20:27 in that case I would definitely walk out the door because this is not some sort of supernatural experience that's happened If it was a supernatural experience and it was like, do you want to see what it's like being in friends for 24 hours? I'd probably do it just because I know that I'm going back to my life at the end of it, you know, it would be an experience. Okay. But, you know, if it was just, hey, Peter, do you want to swap your life and be on the friends? No, not really.
Starting point is 00:20:53 No, I don't. I don't like coffee. Well, that would be it. You wouldn't be able to be one of the friends. No, I'd be an acquaintance. Du-n-la-no-no-no-na-no-na-no-na-na-o. Acquaintances. All of the like side characters from friends have their own spin-off.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Yeah. I think I've seen... Is acquaintances, a family guy joke? I think I've seen that. It could be, I don't know. I also don't watch Family Guy. There's an unpopular opinion. Hey, why don't you go to Family Guy land?
Starting point is 00:21:22 Yeah. I also don't like South Park. It's just the all American comedies, I think. Come on, dude. Anyway, that's all of my unpopular opinions. That's me firmly in the crosshairs of the audience. What about you two? What do you hate?
Starting point is 00:21:36 I hate. What have you sent us, Michael? He's found acquaintances. Oh yeah, it's all the lookalikes. That's the meme there of all the friends who sort of look like. Sorry, Google acquaintances meme. Oh, man, that's a good meme. Chandler does not look like Chandler in that.
Starting point is 00:21:56 All the others are pretty good, but... Yeah, that doesn't. like Chandler, does it? No. It's just a guy in wearing a tie. That's what Chandler is, right? My unpopular opinion is that I think
Starting point is 00:22:09 wiping back to front is the superior. Oh yeah, that's very unpopular. Oh, don't, not this. No, that is a controversial opinion. There we go. That's it. I'm angry now, Ben. We've done this. We've been down this road. Thanks for treading it back up. Now, that's all I can think about
Starting point is 00:22:25 is you wiping. Why didn't want to reopen the can of what? Peter brought the question it's not my fault yeah yeah oh i think i've been so i think i think i the only thing i remember recently is getting into an argument on a ferret facebook group um for having the audacity to say oh you should try and adopt your animals instead of you know going to a pet shop where they're really badly treated and you're only funding that by buying from the pet shops and someone was like you shut out and yeah it's especially with ferrets it's a weird In America, they're all bred on ferret farms and they're all got lots of inbreeding and health issues.
Starting point is 00:23:04 In the UK, we're kind of fine because that industry doesn't exist to the same extent. But yeah, I just, I'm a big old vegan boy and I'm going to piss you off because I'm a lefty. Yeah, I guess statistically, at the moment, being a vegan is, you're not in the majority yet. One day, Peter, one day, yet. One day. When the planet burns, the vegans will be. her eyes I've got a thing
Starting point is 00:23:32 oh no you have not I'm gonna jump straight in with a thing fucking do it go on this is from the Daily Mirror yeah oh one of those mom livid not just this not my mom
Starting point is 00:23:45 it's our mom but it's just the way it's worded it sounds like our mom is livid right mom livid after nursery sends her rude note by writing on toddler in green marker That's the onion
Starting point is 00:24:00 I'm putting that one down Yeah that's the onion is it Wait until you see How much writing And how big the note is on the child Let me send you the picture right now You're expecting a small note Oh my goodness me
Starting point is 00:24:14 On the baby's head So I will read the story Before you read that out loud for the audience A Furious Mum has hit out at a nursery Who left her a message By scrolling it on her toddler's stomach In Green Marker Single mum of two, Heather, discovered the writing when changing her son, Milo's nappy.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Milo, Milo. After a long day at work, leaving her furious. Writing on Facebook, she says the daycare put a daily report in both of her children's lunchboxes to let her know how they have behaved during the day, what times they were changed, and if either of them needed more nappies or wipes bringing in. The American mum This is good writing from the mirror The American mum
Starting point is 00:25:01 She Must Have Missed a Message from the day before So I don't know The American Mum says she must have missed a message From the day before That Myler required more diapers And as she was then faced With a huge message written in Marker On his torso
Starting point is 00:25:14 As written on KidSpot Which I guess is a parent news site It read Mom I'm out of diaper Please read my report. What? Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:25:30 She said, Now keep in mind, I see several teachers at drop off and several at pickup. If I failed to see that he needs diapers, a simple, hey, Heather, your son needs diapers. Maybe you miss the report. Would have done the trick from any of the many teachers that I see there daily. But instead, I change his diaper this afternoon. And then this is in all caps.
Starting point is 00:25:51 And see this, Richard on my son with marker. sue me for not reading the report every single day she puts it sort of goes on but you know how these tabloids spread the story thinly across a page with several adverts there's nothing else to this story
Starting point is 00:26:12 but there you go the daycare centre wrote on a child so what does it say I'm out of diapers mum I'm out of diapers read my report do the parents provide diapers I'm not entirely sure I guess so
Starting point is 00:26:26 I mean that kind of makes sense otherwise they'd be spending a lot of money on diapers but wow I like the idea of messenger babies instead of pigeons yeah that's how you get your message noticed
Starting point is 00:26:38 pigeon find whatever they don't fly away baby who no avoiding that that sharpie on the tummy no I think she shared it on on Snapchat because there is
Starting point is 00:26:50 hang on let me there's a second picture with the You did a little Snapchat caption on it. And it says, after scrubbing several times, and it's not come off. Oh, God. Oh, dear. Why would they write with permanent marker?
Starting point is 00:27:05 I don't know. It's insane. Why have they? I've been desperately trying to think of a pun. I can't. No. I'm throwing in the towel. Yeah, I was thinking, is there something that post-it notes?
Starting point is 00:27:16 Is there something there? Maybe not. No, maybe. Yeah. Want to think on. Yeah. Much to think about. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Postnatal notes Oh yeah I like that That's good It's not I don't know I could be better There's definitely
Starting point is 00:27:30 Something It's better than anything Anyone else came up with Mikey Yeah Postnotal Yeah postnotal Yeah
Starting point is 00:27:37 There we go Yeah Oh god Is there a follow up To the story Is there No I There's no
Starting point is 00:27:45 There's no comment From the You know From the nursery Or anything like that As far as I can see That's just how it ends lots of mums on
Starting point is 00:27:56 I guess on the kids kids net website or whatever it was called have said that they're outraged file a report totally not okay or appropriate I am so mad for you you are a human with a lot on your plate it's easy to miss a couple of things etc etc
Starting point is 00:28:12 is this do you reckon the mum did this for attention yeah maybe possibly but then you'd think that the I'm guessing that the mirror probably reached out to the nursery for comment and the fact that they've remained silent. Yeah, no, that's true.
Starting point is 00:28:30 You'd think if the mum had done it, that the nursery might say, hang on, no, we didn't write on your baby. But also, it just seems the most unlikely thing, doesn't it? Yeah. How recent was this story? It was a couple of weeks ago, I think. Hang on. A couple of weeks ago, and there's still no follow-up.
Starting point is 00:28:48 That's great. It was longer than that. It was 28th of January, so a month ago. Wow. yeah mad well no follow-up for now so well one day hopefully sorry to leave you hanging but I just thought we all needed to know about that thank you thank you do we have the name of the nursery um can we docks them no can we just tell everyone to avoid it unless you want a scribble baby no it doesn't actually it doesn't actually say that first picture that I sent you of the unscrubbed
Starting point is 00:29:17 oh no the second one actually the second picture where it's been scrubbed out a little bit the caption on that image is just the note was huge which is fairly dramatic great that is dramatic yeah good wow thank you Peter thank you Peter
Starting point is 00:29:34 you're welcome just a quick one there a little baby thing little baby thing yeah do you want another question sons yeah okay today according to Duncan Wilson
Starting point is 00:29:49 at DM Wilson 73 if that is his real name. Today, at time of recording, is World Book Day. That's true, I can confirm. What was your favourite book as a kid? And do you have one now? Says Duncan Wilson. Good question.
Starting point is 00:30:06 I actually thought about bringing this as my thing if it hadn't been asked. But fortunately, it was. I'm very upset with myself because I've never been a reader. Even though I want to be, I'm physically incapable of reading. the words just make no sense
Starting point is 00:30:23 help me what are these symbols so it was always kind of like a really nice treat to read a book in English class or something where like it'd be like everyone being there reading the same books there's nothing that distract you it's just like hey let's enjoy the story and Lord the Flies really stuck with me since
Starting point is 00:30:39 then because we've read lots of books but for some reason Lord the Flies is this really interesting little like political analogy with children and blah blah and I don't know just kind of children with children with Sharpies on them.
Starting point is 00:30:53 The children have ran out of, I don't know, did they crash on a plane or something? They've ran out of fuel and they've crashed and that's all sharpied on them. Otto got a melon stuck under his brake pedal and the bus crashed. I was always so fucking impressed by that coconut village they built.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Yeah. With the monkey butlers. Oh, amazing. Monkey butlers, yeah. Go, banana. How many flies are in Lord of the Flies? I haven't read it. 32.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Do you want me to name more for you? Yes, please. Derek. Big Titty Jesus, 42. Let me later. Let's go up to the subscriptions. At least six of them are Big Titty Jesus. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:31 And one of them wants to suck my tours. I've never read it. I've seen the films with Frodo and Gandalf and so on. They take the one fly back to Mordor. Is that the line, Fly You Falls? Is that why that's it? Yeah. Flies, you fools.
Starting point is 00:31:48 That's it. The Lord of the Flies. Brilliant. I used to read The Edge Chronicles, which were written by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell, who is, he's now,
Starting point is 00:32:06 or I don't know if he still is, but he was Children's Laureate for a time, Chris Riddell. And they were illustrated inside in this really interesting style. Oh my God, I just Googled it. Holy shit, yeah, that is a really nice style. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:20 And there were like 15 of them, or maybe not quite that many, they were like at least 12, I think. And they were set in this world where it's like, it's like this cliff that just sort of sticks out into open sky. And they have like sky ships with pirates on them and loads of like cool monsters and stuff. And, oh, really liked them. I think the illustrations helped.
Starting point is 00:32:47 I thought it was, and it was kind of, at the time, seem like quite an edgy series as well because uh people get killed with swords blood comes out uh you know stuff like that people lose like heads and limbs and stuff even though it's kind of a young adult story and plus the fact it takes place on a cliff edge is pretty edgy well yeah it's pretty edgy yeah would you define yourself as an edge lord peter oh definitely and i purely put it down to the edge chronicles that's i learned when you guys were at your frat parties and lover's lanes I was studying the edge
Starting point is 00:33:23 and now you have the audacity to come to me for help Nice If you stare long enough into the edge The edge stares back into you as well That's it That's what happens And they actually released The final book in the series
Starting point is 00:33:38 Only like two years ago And I've bought it And I'm reading it soon Oh exciting Yeah So that's nice It's like something that I've grown up with since I was probably about, I don't know, 12 or something
Starting point is 00:33:55 like that. So, yeah. Lovely. I, apart from the obvious Harry Potter, you know, I don't consider myself a big Harry Potter fan, not in the sense that I don't like it just because I don't, I don't have the same level of obsession as a lot of people do. But I'd certainly enjoyed reading the books growing up. Yeah. And apart from that, Alex Ryder. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. It's a big, Alex Ryder fan, the Boy Spy. I never read those, but my brother liked them. Yeah, they were really good. I think I read the first three a lot.
Starting point is 00:34:27 And then I think it sort of went downhill a little bit after that, because I can't really remember why, but he was a teenager for a long time. Yeah. And it seemed a bit odd. They did a film adaptation of the first one, Stormbreaker. Is it Stormbreaker? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:43 I remember watching that in the cinema with my friend of being thoroughly disappointed even as a child. Yeah, it was real shame Stephen Fry was in it which was great as the gadget man In the book He had a spit
Starting point is 00:34:55 His gadget was a Game Boy Oh fucking sick And the cartridges Did different things Oh my God There was a smoke bomb That was a game boy cartridge That he put in
Starting point is 00:35:04 And I think the film replaced it with like a DS Or something contemporary And I was like Oh man Why couldn't it be a Game Boy? Game Boys are the shit man Anthony Horowitz
Starting point is 00:35:14 Was that author I think Yeah boy Yeah it was Point blank was good as well. That was a second one. Point Blanc. Plon. Plon Blanc.
Starting point is 00:35:21 And I think there was something about some face swapping or someone was having surgery and it was a bit of a mystery. I don't know. I really like those books. I thought it were really good. But I don't read so much anymore because I am, I just don't have the time. I am spending any time on it. I've just got, and I know my mum listens to this podcast. They bought me the, what's the, what's the Python who's still alive, who writes a lot of books?
Starting point is 00:35:46 who writes a lot of books Michael Palin Yes, Michael Palin wrote a very interesting book about a boat and I started reading it and I then stopped because it was about a boat
Starting point is 00:35:57 Oh no that was my most recent book attempt Ben if you don't read books you're going to be a boring person for the rest of your life Would a boring person do this? Whoa! Exactly
Starting point is 00:36:12 You are the Edge Chronicles Lord now Thank you Give me your fedora. You don't get to wear it anymore. It's mine. Here it is. Here is my samurai sword. Oh, blimey.
Starting point is 00:36:24 This is getting really serious. I still read a bit. Probably my favourite book that I've read recently is Never Wear by Neil Gaiman. Probably aware of Neil Gaiman. He sometimes writes for TV and... I've heard of his name. Yeah. Have you heard of American Gods on Netflix?
Starting point is 00:36:44 Oh, yes. Yeah, that was one of his. I think. I've not read that, but yeah, he's written a lot of things that either he's written for TV shows, like he's done some Doctor Who, or he's written things that have been adapted into TV shows and movies. But Neverware is about this kind of underground population in London that are like sort of, they're not invisible, but like when people, when they're walking around on the surface, people don't really notice them. But yeah. It's a good book. He's writing another one as well, so I'm excited for that. Busy boys. But would recommend Neverwhere if you're into your Harry Potter's and that kind of thing. But you want to read an adult book for adults.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Oh, blimey. Yeah. It's time for a thing. I'm happy to do my thing. Mike Lerl. Hi. I think you should do your thing, miss. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Well, everybody get your dinner plates out. I've brought along a load of garlic. Got an extra quidsworth, three cheers. Oh, lovely, thanks. You've got an extra quid's worth or what? Garlic. For each of us. Oh, for each of us, I couldn't make out.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Oh, right, yes. It was too jordy for you. For each of us. For each of us. It's French. I don't come with garlic, sadly. I come with... Oh, for fuck's sake. I know, but it's probably as equally as good.
Starting point is 00:38:09 If you could put it into food and eat it, it would be like garlic. Okay. I instead come with another letter from our favourite... George Franklin, Ben Franklin. Oh, George Franklin. George Franklin. My favorite George Franklin, Ben Franklin. G. Franks.
Starting point is 00:38:26 This is a letter to a friend from 1974. Jesus, 1974. Wow, he lived a long time. This is a real world change at notice. It's from 1745. How did you get 1974 from that? There's a lot of words on my screen, Peter. I'm getting confused. I can't read. You know this.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Michael, you're doing great. Thanks. Sorry. The title of this letter is Advice to a Friend on Choosing a Mistress. Oh, good. Oh, okay. So it turns out this friend of our boy, G. Ben Franks,
Starting point is 00:39:05 he's going through some sexual trouble at the minute. He's just got these uncontrollable urges. And so as you do, you reach out to your friend who's like an American, American big boy. and you ask, what do I do with all these sexual urges? Do you want to know what the advice was? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:23 It was getting, as mentioned in the title, it was getting a mistress. Yeah. Oh, good. Really sold that one. Not eating some Kellogg's corn flakes. Oh, that wasn't invented yet. That came after this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:37 Sadly. Just finding a really flattering photo of Ben Franklin for us all to look at while we listen. Oh, that'd be nice. Thank you. I'm just going to tweet it as well. so everyone at home Oh, look at him. This picture of Ben Franklin.
Starting point is 00:39:49 That's a saucy devil. I wonder how many mistresses he had. Nothing but mistresses. But what makes this advice a bit more interesting is the fact that Franklin insists that an older woman is the only way to go. Oh, Benjamin. Oh, he likes the older lady.
Starting point is 00:40:08 You little toy boy. Blimey. To quote, A single man has not nearly the value he would have in that state of union he's an incomplete animal he resembles the odd half of a pair of scissors
Starting point is 00:40:21 I don't know what that means really so then yeah worried that he replied to his friend in a big long letter but he's worried that his friend wouldn't heed his advice and so in a very contemporary format Ben Franklin
Starting point is 00:40:36 made an eight point list of reasons why older women make better partners I'm Ben from Franklin and here are eight reasons You just read my next line So yeah, with that, I'm Benjamin Franklin from what culture And here's eight reasons why you should marry an older woman
Starting point is 00:40:54 To stop your sexual urges Oh, I'm sorry, Mikey It's all right, it's fine Couldn't help myself Number eight Because as they have more knowledge of the world And their minds are better filled with observations Their conversation is more improving
Starting point is 00:41:14 and more lastingly agreeable. So, yeah, they're easier to get on with. I think a little bit of our friend Franklin's misogyny shines through in some of these. This is one of the weak tamer ones. Hmm. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Number seven. Because when women cease to be handsome, they study to become better people. Oh, good. So pick an ugly one. Yeah, find an ugly one because they've got a better brain. He expands on this point.
Starting point is 00:41:41 To maintain their influence over men when their looks are fading, they learn other ways of being valuable. They learn to do a thousand services big or small and are the most tender and useful of all friends when you are sick. And hence, there is hardly such a thing to be found as an old woman who is not a good woman. Who the fuck are you, Ben Franklin?
Starting point is 00:42:04 You wrote a thesis on farts. You snail man, you absolute cretint. I'm just looking at this photo of him while listening. Imagine you. In fact, I need to... It's the only way we could go back in time so I could pass on the fedora and... Give it to...
Starting point is 00:42:20 Catana. Yeah. All he's missing is a bit of neckbade and he's there. Yeah. It's more than me. Number six, this is a nice practical one. You should date an old woman because there's no hazard of children. So he's not...
Starting point is 00:42:35 No hazard. A hazard of children. So he's not talking a little bit older. He's talking about like a post-manipausal woman. Yeah. Yeah. So you can bonk them to your... life's content, mate.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Bonk I'm silly, my dude. Oh, yeah. He expands. Children, when irregularly produced, may be attended with much inconvenience. What was his wording then? When? Which irregularly produced may be attended with much inconvenience. Irregularly produced.
Starting point is 00:43:04 I don't really know what that means. You don't regularly make children, do you? Do you? I don't know. Maybe. I tried to reword a lot of this into quote-unquote normal English. English. But that was just mystifying to me. Number five. Because through more experience, they are more prudent and discreet when it comes to hiding your relationship. If the affair
Starting point is 00:43:26 should happen to be known, considerate people might be rather inclined to excuse an old woman who would kindly take care of a young man from his manners by her good cancels and prevent his ruining his health and fortune among mercenary prostitutes. Oh, God. Sounds like Ben's been. been stung in the past. Yeah. These prosies, oh,
Starting point is 00:43:48 mercenaries, a lot of them. I've never heard mercenary and prostitutes put together like that, but I really like that. It's badass, isn't it? In 2020, we're all about mercenary prostitutes.
Starting point is 00:43:57 That's fucking awesome. A sex worker with a mini gun and a bandolia across their chest. Fuck yeah. That sounds great. Go get it. Go girl. Or boy.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Oh boy. Oh boy. Number four, and this is my personal favorite. Because in every animal that walks upright, the deficiency of the fluids that fill the muscles appears first in the highest part. The face first grows lank and wrinkled, then the neck, then the breast and arms, the lower parts, continuing to the last as plump as ever. So that when covering all above
Starting point is 00:44:34 with a basket, and regarding only what is below the girdle, it is impossible of two women to know an old one from a younger one. That is unbelievable. I mean, first off, that's bollocks. That's not how it works. But also he's saying, oh, well, if you catch her at the right moment, from below the waist,
Starting point is 00:44:53 she'll still have the genitalia and legs of a sexy young broad. As long as you put a basket over the rest of her. Just stick a basket on her head. Yeah. Just look at this guy's fucking face. He needs the basket. That's what he looks like.
Starting point is 00:45:08 He needs to get in the basket. Come on. Just get in the fucking basket So we can throw you off a cliff Yeah I like this little metaphor He throws in at the end of this one And as in the dark
Starting point is 00:45:20 All cats are grey As you know In the dark everyone's the same So I may as well be an older woman Right But then might as well also be a man What's your point? Yeah
Starting point is 00:45:31 Well maybe yeah Maybe he's hinted that secretly Why not just stick your dick In a raw chicken Ben Franklin? Yeah, why not Ben Franklin? Yeah, come on Go on, stick a basket on a chicken and fuck it.
Starting point is 00:45:42 You monster. Shut up, Ben, frankly. Uh, number three, slightly, well, yeah, I think this just comes from a place of, you know, in the olden times women were largely misunderstood and thought of as other creatures from men. Because this sin... What are they? What are women? Number three, because the sin is less.
Starting point is 00:46:03 The deporting of a virgin may be her ruin and make her unhappy for life. so find someone that's already ruined and unhappy for life so that you're not the cause of it I guess okay it goes weird it's weird from you know put a basket on your partner to you know don't ruin a life with your penis Ben yeah Franklin I'm sorry
Starting point is 00:46:25 weird one number two it is it's yeah it's all a bit weird number two because there is less guilt I think there's kind of links into the previous one having made a young girl miserable may give you frequent bitter reflections none of which can attend the making of an old woman happy
Starting point is 00:46:44 I think he's just kind of implying that older women would be happy to be with anyone and right it's a gift yeah you're being generous you're lucky to have this smiling Benjamin Franklin yeah I'm doing her a favour
Starting point is 00:46:59 yeah it's definitely the vibe I'm getting from this and lastly because they are so grateful oh god He did. He's probably like, I'm a gift from God. I will have sex with you, but only if you put a basket over yourself and you don't talk about our relationship in public. They will be great, but they should be paying me. I'll be the mercenary. Benjamin Franklin, mercenary prostitute. Wow, he is. What a dreadful man.
Starting point is 00:47:28 So that's our list. One of the founding fathers of the land of the free. Oh, dear. Yeah. And that's our list. If you like, the video let us know you send a letter to me George Franklin George why the fuck am I doing it again are there only we missed off
Starting point is 00:47:46 let us know in the comments below I'm Ben from what culture no and there we go that's why Benjamin Franklin is a bit of a weirdo is a piece of shit the farts were fine but a misogyny was a bit much for me
Starting point is 00:48:04 who'd have known that the the shit would come out of his mouth as well as his ass. Ridiculous. Well, I've found another picture of my hair. Chuck it away, my dude. Oh, yeah. Like a beached whale.
Starting point is 00:48:18 He does just look like a sort of creepy man on the bus who smells of crab sticks. I think in that photo he's been dead for a while. Yeah. If you look closely at his face, you can tell he's just farted. And this must have been like around the time he wrote that essay. Yeah. That's the facial expression you make to your co.
Starting point is 00:48:37 workers when you're passing in the corridor. Just the gentle nod in the hallway as you pass by wordless. You're comfortable there. For you have for your tea. Smell it. Smell it and see? Smell it.
Starting point is 00:48:57 I'll tweet that as well so people can see that. Whole chain of just, no context, Franklin. There we go. Excellent. Thank you, Michael. That's all right. I'm glad I could provide a chain of Franklin, George or Ben, whoever it may be. Whichever one we're feeling like it is today. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Okay. Straight off the back of Ben Franklin doing trumps. We've got Lloyd Nardja here at Lloyd 91, who just says, fav weird smell. Petrille. Petrille. It's got to be petrol. Absolutely petrol. I like Dunn Sparklers as well.
Starting point is 00:49:36 Yeah. Gun power. Gunpowder. Gunpowder. From party poppers and stuff. Yeah. Dun matches. I don't know why I'm using the word done like that, but it's happening.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Dun matches and done sparklers. Dun matches. Pretty good. Yeah. Leather bookmarks. Oh, leather. Yeah. That's not even... Particularly bookmarks. Is that because it combines the leather and bookmark smell? Do you remember back in video it's when someone sent us farts spray and Ben Bindit straight away?
Starting point is 00:50:13 Yeah, liquid ass. Liquid ass. Because I did not trust you. Well, as part of my job over the last couple of weeks, I had to order in some, let me just find the name of it. I think it was called Who Shit Their Pants Fart Spray? Oh, God. Fucking hell. Yeah, we did, I helped produce a live stream in the office.
Starting point is 00:50:33 One of the potential challenges that people would have to do would be wear a gas mask. that's filled with this farts spray. Oh, my God. That would probably make people vomit. Yeah, well, they did very well. They got chosen and they survived. This person also said they'd happily eat dog food on camera, so. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:50 But, yeah, the smell is, honest to God, the most accurate diarrhea smell I've ever smelled. Oh. I'm not saying I like it, but the spray bottle's still in the office, and I kind of walk past it every now, and then I go, I'll have a little sniff. And yet, well, it's still bad.
Starting point is 00:51:07 amazing it's the smell of home it really is home home is where the fart is oh very good very good indeed uh there's got to be some some sort of industrial solventy smells are pretty good sometimes i had one of those um like neck pillow things that's full of you know beans for one of the little beans you know what i mean full of the little beans you know what i mean full of the little And I used to just sniff it because it smelled of, you know, faintly of factory solvents. I don't know. That was quite a nice smell. I might have literally been huffing solvents. I'm not really sure. Yeah, possibly. Solvent abuse can kill instantly. It can, but it didn't, though. Pretty fun.
Starting point is 00:51:57 I'll tell you what was always a lottery was different kinds of books at school. Yeah. You know, like some textbooks would smell really nice. textbook smell. Some wouldn't actually smell that nice. There'd be like a weird, different smell. What do they smell of sick? Why does sometimes they smell of sick? Yeah, they did sometimes smell of sick. And then, you know,
Starting point is 00:52:18 some of the, like, actual, like, reading book, like fiction books that we had to read, like, your Lord of the Flies, Mikey. We had one, we read Skellig at school. Did you guys, are aware of Skellig? Never heard of it before. No, it's about this, like... I know Skelliger. That's in the witch, yeah. Yeah, it is. It is.
Starting point is 00:52:35 But, uh, Skellig's about this like a boy finds like an old man who's got wings just in his garage that's actually what it's about. This is great. Yeah, it's like an old dying angel he finds in like
Starting point is 00:52:50 the shed at the bottom of his garden and he just feeds him like Chinese food and ginger ale. Oh man, can I be the dying angel? I want that life. Yeah. Anyway, the Skellig books smelled really good and they didn't smell like any of the
Starting point is 00:53:03 because like book smell is a nice smell But it wasn't book smell. It was this other different book smell. And I think there's something about... Boothick smell. Yeah, but maybe that's what it was. Oh, God. Well, good smells.
Starting point is 00:53:17 I mean, there's lots of really nice non-word smells, like new sheets. Ooh. New sheet night. Well, not new, cleanly washed, I mean. Yeah, clean sheet night. Yeah. I've got one of those coming up this weekend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:28 It's going to be fun. Yeah. It's a big weekend. It's difficult when you've only got one set of bed sheets, isn't it? Never wash. I wash the pillowcases semi-reaching. but the bed just tends to stay because I shower before bed so I don't usually go to bed dirty so I mean it's no excuse it's just I don't have time to dry it before it's bedtime again
Starting point is 00:53:47 it is a hell of a task yeah on on the inverse of that our couch because the ferret's like to climb all over it has little ferret oil stains on it and so every like every once a while we we take off all the covers off the couch and put it in the washing machine and that takes about two three days to dry, so we just got a couple of days of having a shitty looking sofa. At least it's not oily. Nice. Thanks, ferrets. It's true. That's true.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Oh, there we go. Mum, feared should die after getting armed trapped under bed for 13 hours. Oh my God. This is my thing. Jesus. I bet you thought I was about to read your story when I delivered mine. Yeah, it's a good thing I checked beforehand. And it's not my story.
Starting point is 00:54:33 I need to give full credit to at Martin Bray. Ranny on Twitter who tweeted this to us So I missed this. I don't remember seeing this. She got her arm, what, stuck under the bed? Trapped under bed. This story is just a complete roller coaster. Okay. I think you'll enjoy it. This is from the Metro. Oh boy. Great. So it's real. And there's a photo of a
Starting point is 00:54:56 disgruntled woman and the offending... With no arm. It's in a big sling. Yeah. Are you ready? Yes. A mum got true. trapped under her bed overnight after it collapsed on her when she reached to get her MP3 player.
Starting point is 00:55:12 Oh, wow, what century is this? Yeah, already. It's interesting. Claire Montello, 39, feared she would die after getting stuck for 13 hours at her home in Grangewood, Chesterfield. She described how when her husband Francesco Montello, 61, returned from work the next morning at 10.30 a.m. and lifted the bed, her arms swelled up and then burst. Oh, God. No.
Starting point is 00:55:37 What? Hello, 999. What's your emergency? My arms burst. My arms pop. The mum of three was reaching between a gap when the piston holding up the mattress failed, and the entire Ottoman-style bed-top crashed down on her arm at around 9.30pm on January the 23rd. She was trapped because she didn't have the strength in her one free arm to lift the bed up, and her phone was out of reach.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Oh, fair play, that is fucking terrifying. Terrified, Claire, screamed and shouted to no avail and even had to lean on the bed, further compressing her arm when her legs grew too tired to stand. Oh, God. And then there's a couple of photos of the bed there. Miss Montello said, I thought I was going to die. I had to keep making myself sick to keep the moisture in my mouth as a way to survive.
Starting point is 00:56:29 What? I must have vomited about 40 times. That doesn't work. Oh, that's acid you're putting in your mouth. What? That is mental. What on earth? Well, I'm very thirsty.
Starting point is 00:56:43 I might do a bit of a sick in my mouth. In order to stop dehydrating, she made herself vomit 40 times. I felt bad for up until now. Wow. The thing is, this story goes through sort of crests and falls of, oh, poor woman. What? What was she doing? What?
Starting point is 00:57:02 Because the wardrobe was right next to the bed I couldn't even sit down I knew Francesco wouldn't be back until the morning so I had no choice but to sit on the bed I couldn't stand for that long I couldn't sleep through it I was in so much agony I'm surprised I didn't pass out of the pain
Starting point is 00:57:19 but I was and for the whole 13 but I was and for the whole 13 hours there's a photo of her stitched up arm and it does look pretty rough to be fair I don't think it burst Mr. Montello, a care worker, added, I lifted up the bed and when she got her arm out, it was flat. Oh, gosh.
Starting point is 00:57:39 I've never seen an arm go that flat before. Oh no. It was flat. What? Claire was rushed to Royal Derby Hospital and was kept in for a two-week stay and underwent four operations. Doctors performed a skin graft using skin from her thigh. She had a muscle removed, and doctors told her there's a 50-50 chance she will regain movement in her left arm, she said.
Starting point is 00:58:08 Claire added, I'm now in absolute agony. I've got a splint on it, and I can't feel anything. If there wasn't in there, my arm would just be a floppy mess. Mr. Montello has since destroyed the bed with a sledgehammer. In anger. Go on. The couple said she said they brought it from a warehouse a few years back. for £800 and never had any issues.
Starting point is 00:58:35 And that's the end of the story. Wow. Oh, God. I mean, of course, I feel terrible for the woman for, you know, she might never gain... Yeah, the photos are grim. Yeah. She might, you know, never gain the use of her arm again. That's terrible.
Starting point is 00:58:48 But why did she make herself sick over 40 times? I don't know. Imagine a husband coming home finding this massive pool of sick on the floor and the wife with her arm stuck in the bed and then he remarks I've never seen an arm go that flat you know that your husband's back in 13 hours like you're not going to de-hide
Starting point is 00:59:11 you're not going to die of first in 13 hours it's just not going to happen horrifying it's like the really weird where was she from is she British it sounds like a British story yeah she is British it's like a really weird
Starting point is 00:59:28 British version of that 128 hours or whatever it's called. Yeah. You know, the bloker gets his arm stuck in the rock and has to chop it off. I can't wait for the film adaptation of a woman trying to reach for an MP3 player and getting stuck. 13 hours is what it'll be called. I really want to try vomiting 40 times and see what it does
Starting point is 00:59:49 because surely after 10 vomits you're like, this doesn't feel like a good idea. That's the next video. Don't do it dressed as Wallace, that's all I are. I vomited 40 times to see what would happen. See how hydrated. Dressed as Wallace. Believe me, within, I'm dressed as Wallace,
Starting point is 01:00:03 within like two days that would make it onto another fetish website. Damn right. Cute British guy vomits 40 times with a flat arm. Well, there we go.
Starting point is 01:00:17 That's my thing. Thank you. Fantastic. You're so welcome. Can I have a question? Yeah. Yeah, you can. Ben, specifically Ben.
Starting point is 01:00:27 Yeah. Alex, at Call Me Alex, but there's no E in Alex, says, if you had to give a TED talk right now, what would you give it on? Oh, man. What are you an expert in, apart from being an edge lord? Fuck, you know what, I don't know. I've always wondered this because I like, like, I watch these YouTube channels. I'm like, oh man, these guys, you know, they know a lot about a certain thing
Starting point is 01:00:52 and they're able to, you know, explore. Like, I watched a video about reload animations a couple of months ago. Oh, yeah. It was really fucking good. Like, really well made and everything. I was like, man, I'd love to make something like that. But I've got no knowledge on anything. So I make videos of farting and dressing up as Wallace.
Starting point is 01:01:07 That's my TED talk. You must have... I mean, you could do a TED talk on just animating lists and stuff. You were very good at that. Yeah, that'd be nice. Keyframe animations. I feel like a TED talk's got to be a bit sexy. A little bit of juicy.
Starting point is 01:01:25 We'll just do it with wearing no shirt. Oh, there we go. I could talk about anything then. Yeah, exactly. Here's me reading out a news article about a woman who got her arm stuck in a bed while topless on stage at TED. Oh, yeah. Who is Ted, by the way? Bed talk. Bed talk. Good. Good.
Starting point is 01:01:45 Yeah, what is a Ted? Ted. Is it a person? Is it a thing? Who is Ted? I've never watched a TED talk. I'm familiar with the concept, but I've never watched. No, really? They're very good. If you can find, I mean, there's obviously they cover all kinds of subjects, so some of them are. boring but like if you find one that's up your street you know they get good speakers on
Starting point is 01:02:03 to do them I've never watched a bad TED Talk put it that way like I think usually it gets forced into your recommended feed at some point
Starting point is 01:02:09 and you go oh I'll give that a try and it's always bloody amazing yeah I don't know I feel like I could do one oh man
Starting point is 01:02:18 I think is I don't think anyone would come and see it that's the thing I don't think anything that I would talk about would be interesting enough
Starting point is 01:02:25 that I could pretend to be an authority on it you know i don't think it has to be you don't have to worry about whether people would be interested in it but just like is is there anything that you feel that you could do a good chat for for like 15 minutes yeah it's like anything you're passionate about that you can bring a bit of fun and some you know anecdotes and facts too just it's like a nice speech i'm still i'm struggling um um pigeons yeah pigeons yeah let's do pigeons i'd listen to that ted talk i would love a ted talk about pigeons actually I've watched a few documentaries about pigeons
Starting point is 01:02:59 Oh, do pass on the names afterwards, Peter I'm very interested Michael, did you just do a pigeon? Yeah Oh, who passed them on How about going fast? Oh yeah, that's a pretty good one Yeah, that's a good one
Starting point is 01:03:11 Yeah, that's a good one Fantastic Would you want to share your knowledge with the world though Because obviously you want to be going on Oh no You want to be fastest boy It would be 15 minutes of me going fast In fact, I'll be done in two minutes
Starting point is 01:03:25 Yeah Nice. So don't even worry about it. Brilliant. Blinking, you'll miss it, my dudes. My TED Talk. National Trust. Yeah, I'd like, not National Trust necessarily, but...
Starting point is 01:03:39 Great British Walks. I've got a lot of books about folklore. I follow a lot of folklore Twitter accounts on Twitter, obviously. Because I think it's pretty... The thing it interests me about that is that there are all these stories that people came up with like hundreds of years ago that have just survived through mostly oral tradition. I know they've been written down now like in the past hundred years, but you know, a lot of them go back a thousand years. I think it's pretty, it's pretty wild that either someone
Starting point is 01:04:11 came up with them like an individual and their story that they came up with on the fly has survived this long or maybe even more interestingly is that like people collectively came up with stuff and it's like a product of a whole society of people saying, oh don't go down to the pond because Nelly Long Arms will get you I think it's pretty interesting but I'd watch that TED talk
Starting point is 01:04:34 I'd be interested in that Yeah Do it Peter Right now's your chance I'll get it written Lovely brilliant Yeah Fantastic
Starting point is 01:04:42 Peter thank you for all the questions You've brought us today Oh you're welcome thanks for answering them My fucking pleasure man But you know what I didn't I didn't bring in myself They came from the excellent members of our community
