Oh, I don't know about you guys.
I'm getting quite thirsty.
Yeah, me too.
I did have a coffee.
I'm spitting feathers over here.
Is that a phrase?
Yeah, spitting feathers.
That sounds like a rap thing.
Well, it is.
Okay.
I'm not talking about thirsty, I'm just doing a rap over here.
Spitting feathers on these foos.
Well, let's stop you from spitting feathers.
Drop a lick on a brick and go,
I'm on these motherfuckers.
Whoa. Jesus.
You've been what...
Sorry, this is my shoes.
It's going to fast coming up on the microphone.
Converse do that, all right?
That's really squeaky.
Every step I take.
Every step.
We've got to stop Michael from watching MTV
because he's getting...
To go back to your link there,
your handy link to what you're about to do.
Yes.
I'm really thirsty, Ben.
Thank you.
Jesus Christ, gentlemen.
Let's stay on topic.
Where's Dave?
Where is he?
Let's have the Where's Dave theme song.
I don't see him.
There's Dave
There it was
There's the theme song
I don't know
I don't see him
I'm going to give him a ring
Yeah
Go on Dave
Is the rules boss
Papa Lazaru
Is that what's going on there
Possibly
I bet he's in a really important meeting right now
I'm just like Dave
Can you bring us a drink
Maybe
He should be here
He's meeting our
Coca-Cola supplier
To get us in some new fancy drinks
Yeah
Rio
I don't know he's going to ask
Who owns Rio?
Has Rio its own...
Dave can't come to the phone right now?
Oh, Dave!
Dave can't come to you to the phone right now.
For God's sake, David.
Well, that's disappointing.
At Dave on Twitter.
Just tell him what you think of him.
Piece of shit.
Yeah, just be really, really horrible.
You're a piece of shit at Dave.
On Twitter.
You're a fucking asshole.
Episode five?
No.
At least.
Six.
Seven?
No.
No.
Wait, six.
Six.
Five.
Help.
Three.
Yeah, because last episode was four.
Episode zero that we did.
Yeah, episode zero adds up to five because we applied for Spotify after the last episode.
This is episode five.
Is it?
I mean, I don't believe you.
Welcome to Pottie.
It's episode something.
A little bit of monica.
Welcome to an episode in my life.
A little bit of Monica.
I'm not doing this.
A little bit of Monica.
A little bit of Monica.
My time I was out of listening.
They can be too much of a good thing.
Stopping now.
A little bit of monica.
A little bit less of this song, please.
There we go, perfect.
It's because we're potty.
It's number five.
Welcome to Podiat's everybody.
Yeah, see, I wasn't just doing it.
There's always a reason.
Yeah, always a reason.
There's always a reasonable reason for that.
Welcome back to Podiat's everybody.
Thanks.
This is the...
Not you.
Jesus Christ, Peter.
Oh, okay.
You don't get a lot of bad.
You just wandered past.
We pulled you in.
Yeah, welcome back, Peter.
Sit here, Peter.
Talk here, Peter.
Well, thanks having us, guys.
We're back.
We're back in.
This is the official podcast of the Vidyat's YouTube channel.
It's the official podcast as if there's unofficial.
It's because we've got official in front of everything we do.
We could have called this Vidiot's official, the podcast, if we wanted to, and that would have fit better.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
Stop.
Can we just, can we just do an intro?
Right, do you want me to not reply to anything?
Just sit here, silent.
For now, yes.
Two minutes of silence.
That's no.
From all of us.
Someone dies.
Yeah.
Yeah, someone at the...
I remember our fallen comrades.
You remember smooth intros?
I don't.
It's always been like this.
Yeah, yeah, it's an absolute hellscape.
Did you know that we're sponsored by Turtle Beach?
What?
Did you know this?
I didn't.
Are you wearing them right now?
I'm wearing them right now.
This is what they sound like.
That's what it sounds like...
When you hit them against the microphone.
Mine are a bit different, listen.
Oh my God.
It's like watching cats play with toys.
I wish everyone else could see what happened there.
You just knocked the microphone and stand.
They just swung around.
swung away from me.
Nearly killed me there.
If you want to get Turtle Beach headsets just like these ones,
you can go to bit.ly forward slash
Vidiates Beach.
Vidiates.
Vidiots.
Vidiates Beach.
Oh, I do like to be beside seaside.
And you can hear just like we can,
which is perfectly well.
Yeah.
That's why we're talking.
Better than perfectly well.
Over.
Hello?
What?
Is your microphone cutting out?
I don't know.
Help.
Also, if you want to find us on pretty much every.
thing.
Everything.
YouTube, Facebook, Twitter,
forward slash
Idiot's official.
I'd like to thank...
We even have...
Can I just interject.
Yes.
I don't do that.
No, no, that's fine.
Go ahead.
We have a super secret
subreddit that no one
has discovered yet.
Do we?
I made it like in the early days.
Whoa.
Oh yeah.
It's not necessary.
Just go and post
Minion photos.
Yeah, yeah.
Keep it a Minion Haven.
Sub-hype.
Subscrib.

A big thank you to all of our

Patrons, right?
Yeah.
Not patrons.
No.
But you can visit our Patreon.
You can visit our Patreon if you want to become a patron.
Stop being so patronising.
Thank you, Peter.
Forward slash Viddi, it's official.
And a huge thank you to those people because they're the unsung heroes.
They are.
Because we don't talk about our Patreon very much.
It's usually just in this.
Because we don't want to like, we don't want to bang on about it.
Give us money.
But we do really appreciate those of you who have donated and continue to donate as well.
I thought everyone like drop off after the first month.
But still there.
Still there.
Still going.
Thank you very much.
Someone donated 420 the other day.
That was, I like that.
Nice.
420, does?
Yeah, a whole 420.
Wow.
That's amazing.
Now, if you're not familiar with the show, we all bring a thing and we all like to talk about a thing.
The things.
Who has brought a thing?
I have a thing.
And would like to do the, the thing first.
I'm happy to go first.
You're eager to mention your thing.
Go on, peeps.
Okay.
Blow us away.
Guess where we're going today.
Is it Peter's strange place?
It is Peter's.
Welcome back.
to Peter's Strange Place.
Okay.
Wikipedia is the name.
Yes.
How many times did you have to click the random article button today?
Oh, no, that's not how I do it.
Oh.
No?
No.
How does he do it?
I'm generally...
Actually, I'm curious.
What is your process?
How do you find these things?
A lot of these things I'm just generally aware of from being, I guess, a weird person.
But I then just, I tend to look them up and read the information verbatim.
Right.
I can't wait to learn.
today.
Yeah.
We're back in World War II.
Mm-hmm.
But this time, it's not about the violence and the battles and the weapons.
And the death.
And the death and the technology and the trench foot.
But what else was going on in World War II, Peter?
People were in love, Michael.
Oh.
What?
Whether whether there's war or not.
People are in love through thick and thin.
Why did they do that?
Yeah, what's the point?
Especially during that the silliest war.
Yeah.
the silliest. Well, actually, I think World War I
is sillier, wasn't it? Well, true, but this was
the sequel, isn't it? Right, yeah. Bigger, bad,
stupider, stupider. Silly War II.
Yeah, the world's silliest wars.
During World War II, our
boys, our boys.
Or women, or women,
except not that many.
Some. Some did sneak through,
but they weren't allowed
to be there on the battlefield.
They used
to write to their sweethearts back home,
didn't they? Why? Because
they were missing them.
They didn't have Snapchat back then.
They didn't have Insta or WhatsApp.
Oh yeah, they used in their Myspace back then, weren't they?
Yeah, it was Myspace and Bebo?
Yeah, it was one of the two.
Yeah, with those glitter gifs that you could generate on.
And so they used to send postal correspondence to their sweethearts back home.
And there's this whole secret code that used to go on,
which was postal acronyms,
people would write on the envelope, an acronym, that was disguised as a word that might well
have been written on an envelope, but the letters actually stood for something that was like
a secret nod between...
L-O-L-L-L-Rothel.
Yeah, kind of.
Okay.
But they would disguise it generally as place names, right?
Yeah.
So I've got a few of them here for you, and I want to read the first few, so you can understand
what we're doing.
Yes.
And then you can start trying to guess.
Oh, is this fun.
Are they going to be sort of World War to, colon, the silliest wars,
like, colourful use of certain pieces of the language?
So it wouldn't be, like, crude or offensive.
It would be, like, having a gay time or something like that.
No.
No?
No.
Is it crude?
It's very sweet to begin with.
And the list gets smuttier and smuttier as it goes on.
People were
proper...
This is sexting
of the old days.
Okay.
People were sending
really dirty stuff
to each other
and writing it on the envelope
but just with an acronym.
You have my attention.
Yeah?
Yeah.
So when you're stuck in a trench
with a lot of stinky people
in the stinky place,
mine just is like,
whoa,
and you some release.
Let's write some letters
to my girlfriend.
And they were sent back as well
from the ladies to the boys on the front.
They would also write stuff on there as well.
Okay.
So,
if you were to write stuff on there as well.
write France on your envelope,
F-R-A-N-C-E,
that would stand for
friendship remains and never
can end.
God, this is
awful. And the only way, presumably, they would
know that that was an acronym
is if they were stationed in Italy
or a country that wasn't France.
Well, I think you would write it with dots in between
the letters. It was like, obviously
an acronym, but it was just
the context was there. Like, it's, it
I don't know.
It's a weird thing.
I don't really understand.
Because surely a lot of people knew that this was happening.
Yeah, how widely aware were people?
One person knows.
Like, oh, this is a filthy one.
I think it's just, like, the sensibilities of the time.
Like, you didn't necessarily want to write.
I want to...
Our friendship remains.
That you could do anything.
Yeah, that you could do anything.
So you would, like, just write it in an acronym.
Even if everyone else knew what that meant,
at least you're not putting the words down on the paper, I think.
It's sort of the...
It's like when you're saying...
You don't want to say it.
I'm going to have a shit.
You say, I'm going to the bathroom.
Sure.
And everyone knows that you...
I mean, some people do.
But, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I do.
Yeah.
Yes.
I'm going to do a deposit in the toilet bowl now.
Thank you, Michael.
You can just go.
You don't need to tell us that.
I will take photos.
No, Michael, you don't want to destroy the system.
Fuck the system.
I once went in the bathroom and Sam was there.
And he said, oh, you're all right, what are you up to?
I'm just about have a big old shit.
I said, what else was supposed to say?
I'm off the bathroom.
What am I going to do?
I don't know.
Sorry to derail.
I think he probably meant what are you doing today, not like what you're doing right now.
You could have just said, oh, we're quoting a podiot, so, you know.
I could have, but I needed a shit, so I need to get in that room as quick as possible.
And the easiest way to get in to have a shit is say, I'm going to have a shit.
Right.
Can we talk a bit more about that bathroom very briefly?
Oh, sure.
Yeah, I was just in there with Daff and we were recounting the tale of the monster shit.
So that's not someone's thing, is it today?
What's that?
The thing that someone's brought, the tail of the bathroom.
No, no, no, okay.
No.
Sure, while we're on the topic, before we get onto really dirty,
sex talk.
But before we even get on to the log talk,
to the log nest,
the log nest monster I was left in the toilet bowl last week,
I want to just talk about that bathroom in general,
because I don't know what it is.
I don't know if it's because I had a bowl of soup yesterday,
and that was it, and I haven't eaten yet today.
And I'm feeling a bit weird.
But when, I don't know why it's just that toilet.
Every time I open it, either to come or go,
which isn't one of your disgusting,
sexy World War II thing.
The OG, come or go.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm, I jump like 10 feet in the air if someone is on the other side of the door.
And that doesn't happen to me anywhere else, but here it does.
Like, I opened the toilet door earlier.
You mean the main door into the room?
The main door.
Not as in like a cubicle.
Someone's there.
No, no, no.
Like, I was going in.
There was someone stood by the mirrors washing their hands and they looked in the mirror
at me and said, you're right.
And I, like, I did like a proper flinch.
Jesus.
Like I wasn't expecting someone.
to be there. What's like that to do with the bathroom though? It's just...
Well, it's just that bathroom. It doesn't happen in any other room. Is it just a weird bathroom to
you? Maybe it's just because I'm expecting some sort of privacy or solitude in there and having to
deal with people in a bathroom. Also, when you go to leave the bathroom and you go to reach for
the door handle, because it's one of those big, you know, poles. I'm always terrified that someone's
going to open that door and it's going to smash into my fingers. Bunk you on the nose.
I was doing, I'm quite a snappy open and like, just grab it. And I think that's why.
Everyone's a snappy open.
And if I'm on the other side of that door
and suddenly I go to reach for the door
and someone swings it open.
Right, right.
It's ruined me.
I think we need a window in that door.
Yes, exactly.
I think windows on all doors.
Yeah, yeah.
And a mirror as you can see directly into the ball.
I'm okay with that.
Why don't we have just a camera feed
into every cubicle?
Oh, yeah.
I think we should just all wear bags.
Yeah.
Bags.
Colosomy bags.
Exactly.
Oh, okay.
Like a bag.
It's certainly...
Well, that too, if you can't afford one.
Certainly would have averted last week's crisis, wouldn't it, if we'd use...
Smooth, God.
It was anything but smooth, I believe.
Well, you didn't see it.
I didn't see it.
I didn't see it.
I didn't see it.
I wanted you to see it.
You said, no.
Was it smooth?
Oh, no, it was lumpy, like a meatball maranara.
Literally, just like some nuggets in a maranara sauce.
Okay.
Someone did a big old poop.
See, the best thing about this is, there's someone in this office right now who did that shit.
Yeah.
And we have no idea of you.
And it was first thing in the morning as well.
Someone came in and was like, you.
Yeah, time to do it. Time to do it before they left for work.
And unfortunately, I mean, MJ saw it. I don't really know the details.
I was like, I was having a poo in the stall next to it when Mike and Daff came in and just heard like, oh my God.
And I came out expecting it just to be like a bad smell.
Then Daff was like, no, open it up, open up that lid and look at it.
And it was life changing.
It was amazing. Honestly, wow.
And it like backed up the system and we couldn't use the bathrooms for like a day and a half.
We couldn't flush it down and the smell just, it just stained that room.
You would try and break it up, though, wouldn't you?
Like, because all of the, I know it's not what it's for, but all of those toilets have
toilet brushes next to it.
You could have, like, some kind of token effort to, like, avert.
See, the worry there is flashback.
Like, with that, the amount of heard there, it was.
That's their problem.
If you're going to...
Oh, you mean, oh, I thought it meant, like...
No, I'm not talking about you guys.
Like, I'm talking about the person who...
No, yeah, you don't just leave a log like that.
Is there, like, toilet roll on top of it or anything?
There was toilet roll around the toilet, which was the toilet, which was the toilet.
weird thing.
Around the toilet.
Yeah.
Yeah, like on the floor.
Did someone do some sort of ritual in there?
Is that what's happened?
Yeah, they just expelled some demons into the ball.
Just like salt and tea lights everywhere.
That doesn't make any sense.
I don't think I'm ever like not going to be able to think about this shit.
It was just incredible.
Right.
It's been on my mind pretty much every day.
Every time I go in that bathroom, it's just like I get flashbacks to it.
And it shut down the toilet for like.
Yeah.
Got to go all the way downstairs.
It's from two hours at least.
Yeah.
Ridiculous.
Sorry, Peter.
So from diabolical shit, back to friendship remains and can never end.
Yes.
Never can end.
What do you think Holland stands for?
H-O-L-L-A-N-D.
Hold on to lasting love and naughty dicks.
No, no, we're not getting into that gesture.
It's all sweet for now.
Hope our love lasts and never dies.
Swark.
Sorry?
Swark.
Swalk.
Swark.
I don't know what that word is.
It's like a swaggy walk.
I'll Google it just to see if it is.
is a thing.
Sealed with a loving kiss.
Oh, boo.
Oh, sorry, there goes my phone.
That's your phone just buzzing down the mic's phone.
I just hold it over here.
Now, we're starting to just, like, heat up a little bit here.
Malaya, my ardent lips await your arrival.
Oh, ardent lips.
Ready for a kiss.
What's a swark, Ben?
It's just a made-up thing.
It's literally just an acronym.
It's just a raffle.
As I think is that last one, you said.
Yeah, maybe a couple of them are just acronyms.
So the next one is ball top, B-O-L-T-O-P.
Bottoms on ladies' teeth.
O-P-P-E.
Yeah, overpowered.
No, better on lips than on paper.
Oh, interesting.
Licking the envelope, I guess.
Or kissing it, maybe.
Right.
Maybe if the lady did a little kiss mark at the bottom.
Or the man.
Or the man.
Well, is he wearing lipstick this man?
Or maybe, could be.
What's wrong with that?
It's 1940, what's the problem?
Now, Burma.
That is a place.
Burma is a place.
And now we're starting to really, really get in there.
Burma, be upstairs ready, my angel.
Wow.
When he gets home.
That is saucy.
China.
Yeah.
Come home, I'm naked already.
Wow.
Okay.
What your girlfriend might send to you.
But how is that?
But they're at, like, what?
He's, he's, he's, he's,
He's fighting people.
Come home.
She's naked.
She's going to be there waiting for weeks on her.
Yeah, she is going to be a long time.
I think it's more just to give him a nice image, isn't it, to send him off to sleep.
Right.
Chip.
No drawings or anything.
So, yeah, China has come home.
I'm naked already.
If you received Chip rather than China, that is also a come home, but not so good.
Come home, I'm pregnant.
Oh, I'm being told that chip.
Shit.
Chip.
Fuck.
So hopefully he's not been...
posted in the last
like more than nine months
because that's a bit
that's a great flag
Egypt
mm-hmm yeah
now
try and stay calm lads
eager to grab your pretty tits
oh
can you believe people wrote this stuff in the 40s
I didn't think the word tits existed in the 40s
I love that they did this
this is great
I think it's even though it's
it's quite smutty I think it's quite
I like that night
these are the people who are now complaining about children
using smutty language and text.
Well, not all them, but some of them.
The subtlety is, like, it's gone now, isn't it?
Yeah.
You up?
You up?
Yeah, you want some fuck.
Here is a picture of my reproductive organs.
Oh, those are nice.
Would you like them to interact?
Yes, let's do it now.
I'm literally naked.
That is how every interaction goes when you send an unsolicited dick pick.
Would you like to interact with the genital?
That's the thing.
Every single one.
If you're at work and you want to go home and spend some sweet time with your partner,
it might just be
You want a China
Well no
Well nowadays
You might just receive a picture from your partner saying
Hey look at me
Here's me naked
Yeah we
And it's like oh okay
There's no imagination there
But in the olden days
They might have written Norwich
Oh the sexist word known to man
Nick is off ready when I come home
Wow
Yeah
Does I want the Scunthorpe
There's not
I think most of that
It's already self-explanatory.
England now, you know, our lovely nation.
Sure.
Not to be besmirched.
No, never.
Every naked girl loves a naked dick.
I'm sorry?
I sort of panicked there because I was like, is that actually what it says?
But it does say that.
Every naked girl loves a naked dick.
The term naked dick is not really a thing that exists, is it?
I mean, as opposed to keep it in a sock or something?
Yeah.
With the trousers on.
I don't understand that one.
I feel like they may have been stretching.
Well, I think they're just there to force a second N in there.
I think it would have just been every naked girl loves a dick,
but they were like, oh, but the country's not called Inglad, is it?
Well, I mean, isn't it?
You could have used nice or...
Yeah, a nice...
Oh, that's way better.
Every naked, every naughty girl loves a nice dick.
Just a bit.
God, they didn't know what they were doing.
Ridiculous.
A novelty dick.
Yeah.
That'd be good.
Yeah.
It's got a little helicopter on the end of it.
It's got a bow tie that spins around.
We've got a few left.
Yeah.
And if,
what was that kid called?
Dayton, Dainton.
If Dainton's watching, please.
Send this to your girlfriend.
No, don't send this to your girlfriend.
Dainton is eight.
If Dainton is watching or listening,
please put your fingers in your ears.
Dayton, if your parents are here listening,
what are you doing, look after your child better, Christ.
I'm going to call Child Protective Services.
Dantin, you need to go to your parents and ask them to buy you Turtle Beach headset.
Head sets.
You need them.
It's the new toy this Christmas.
To say all the kids in school are making fun of you.
because you don't have them.
Fingers in ears, children.
Capstan stands for
Can a Prick stand twice a night?
Wow.
Whoa.
Wow.
That's aggressive, that one.
Pinnis.
Maybe it's just the way you said it.
Can a prick?
Can a prick?
No, I don't like that.
No, that's pretty bad.
Low Stoft.
Yeah, that's a word.
Yeah.
L-O-W-E-S-T-O-F-T.
I think that is actually a place.
That's so mocking.
Yeah, that's a word.
Yeah, come on.
Think of a better town name.
Ben,
yeah.
Legs opened wide, enter slowly to obtain full treatment.
What?
What?
That is such a, such a stretch.
It is.
Well, it could be.
We'll see what happens, I guess.
Well, if they're open wide enough, it is.
Legs opened wide, enter slowly to obtain full treatment.
Treatment.
And last, but by absolutely no means least.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Edinburgh.
Oh, okay.
This is going to be a long old one.
It is a long old one, and it's very specific.
Can you go one word at a time?
I know that's how reading works, but like slow, sort of slow...
To build up.
Erection.
Oh, I've already there.
Definitely imminent.
Now, book usual room, George Hotel.
What?
Is the George Hotel that popular?
I think this might have just been a specific one that, like, a couple years.
If the George Hotel's in Edinburgh, that'd be a...
be amazing.
At some point they have to have this
brainstorming session.
Yeah, they have to work out this
code before they leave.
This means.
Yeah.
Well, then they can't do it
anyway because how are they
going to get to the George Hotel?
Well, maybe he was on his way home.
Maybe.
Erection definitely imminent now,
book usual room,
George Othell.
Imminent now.
That's the same word.
Twice, isn't it?
Well, it might be
erection definitely imminent,
now book usual room, George Hotel.
Maybe there's a comma
instead of a full stop there.
Yeah.
So, uh, those are
World War II postal acronyms
with really
dirty, exciting stuff.
I'm pretty excited right now.
It just makes me happy that like that kind of thing was going on back then
and they weren't just living in a really prudish existence
where it was like, oh, I can't wait to give you sweet tender kisses.
I do also just like that nice kind of World War II love poetry,
but also I think it's great that they were like properly sending each other.
Can we come up with one for Bristol right now?
Yeah.
Brilliant rectum.

That's a shame.
Oral.
Oral laryngitis.
Yeah, sure.
Why not?
Yeah, be ready.
I'm sexually transmitting oral laryngitis.
Okay.
So he's warning her to get some antibiotics.
Yeah, we're going to do love.
But like, you've got to be ready.
Be ready.
This is what I'm being.
Detrimental to your health.
Yeah.
Wow, Peter, thank you.
You're welcome.
That was a real treat.
Yeah.
I feel knowledgeable.
Now, you guys at home can send those to your loved ones.
We have a few couples who are idiots,
fans, not just singletes. Hi, Dad.
Edinburgh.
Hi, Dad. Errection imminent.
No. No,
only for sexual partners. Yes.
Is that appropriate? Please.
Maybe it is your dad. I don't know.
2018. What's the problem?
You don't have shower your dad. It's fine.
Disgusting. Who wants a question?
Disgusting.
We've got two questions right now.
First up, this is from Sarah Bennett at Bennett underscore SL on Twitter.
Is Billy looking forward?
to Thorpe Park
or is it a surprise for him?
Who wants to explain what's happened?
In the wake of our conversation
about Alton Tower's death coaster?
No, someone fell asleep while...
I don't have the name actually,
maybe someone can find it while I'm explaining this.
Someone fell asleep while listening to Poddietz.
Oh, I'm not going to find this tweet.
That's gone to the wind.
But we were talking about the euthanasia roller coaster
and they then had a dream
about us going to Thought Park with them
they tweeted about it
they didn't even at Thought Park in it
but Thought Park must have just searched Thought Park
they must have some feed set up
and they replied
and we're talking about it and going like
oh we'd love to have the videts at Thought Park
and it turns out that the guy who was managing the social media
was a videt
The journey that we went on
to try and work out if he was
legitimately a viewer
of our stuff or not? You were just like jokingly going
along like how does he know of this? Did you just watch
a video? Oh wait no this isn't really deep knowledge
what's going on? And he was like oh yeah
we got some cards for Michael to play with like hang on
what? This is Thought Park's official
Twitter account tweeting us that that's weird
It is very strange. So we followed each other
Yeah and then the DM came through
Slid into your DM? Came sliding right on in
ThoughtFault follows me now. Yeah
That's great yeah oh that's cool
I made it just ask you if we want to come to Thought Park
to try out their new Walking Dead
rolling coaster rolling rolling rolling it's very different from a roller coaster yeah um and it's gonna happen
billy's gonna go to thought park uh we're going at the end of may we should be getting tbd dates
dates today or tomorrow yeah pretty much we'll probably do a couple of videos video about our
walking dead experience which i think the the roller coaster's opening soon and that's why they want us to
come along and then just a vlog of our adventure i think it might already be open actually
Yeah. Roll the coast.
In answer to Sarah's question, was it? Sarah Bennett.
Oh, yeah? Yes.
Billy doesn't know yet.
No, we're keeping that surprise.
We're going to put a sack over his head shoving a taxi.
We're going to do that thing like they do on YouTube
where they tell the kid they're going to the dentist.
And then once they're crying, they say, actually, no, we're going to Disneyland.
What's Billy's equivalent of going to the dentist?
The vet.
The vet, yeah, I suppose.
I mean, he has tusks, so.
Yeah.
We're going to court, Billy.
Yeah.
Oh.
It's about the child protective services.
It's about the custody of your child, Billy.
Right, next question.
This is from Scott at Finn underscore
who asks,
what are your favourite TV shows slash movies?
Peter, are you all right?
It's because Dave didn't bring you a drink,
is it tired, yeah, I could have done with a nice sugary drink.
It's not make Dave feel bad.
He can't tend to us all the time.
Well, he should.
That's the only reason he's here.
You're a Dave bot.
What are yours, Ben?
Yeah.
Oh, thank you for us.
Let's flip that question, right back at you.
I'm a big fan.
TV show-wise, I do love an American comedy.
An American comedy.
But like a good one.
Yeah.
Like, I'm a big fan of Arrested Development.
Okay.
And 30 Rock and Community and Parks and Rec.
Parks and Rec, you like.
I love those.
I watch those a lot.
Film-wise, I'm not, I don't have a very refined palette,
but equally, you won't find me watching.
Well, having said that, we did go and see.
Rampage starring Dwayne the Rang Jones.
Oh, yeah, how was that? I didn't ask.
It was like a weird fever dream that wouldn't end.
I kind of expect, it was kind of what I expected in that it was...
A multi-million dollar blockbuster with the rockets.
Yeah.
And monsters in it.
Oh, yeah.
A big old monster fighting.
Just sort of tenuously based on a video game that was never intended to be a film.
No, not at all.
It bears almost no resemblance to the game at all, I don't think either.
There are some clever links where they have actually made it resemble it in some ways.
But yeah, there's also a...
a bunch of just massive holes.
Yeah.
I'm not usually a fan of that kind of stuff, though.
I love me as superhero film.
Yeah.
DC superhero films are dreadful.
Yay.
And they're just terrible.
They sure are.
Not into those at all.
It's weird how I don't understand how you can have that much money
and not just find people who know what they're doing.
It's just a shame, isn't it?
Sparing of mind, Marvel have had, like,
just a handful of their core licenses,
and they've managed to put together the Avengers.
And Warner Brothers have had all of the DC licenses,
and they haven't been able to do.
do it. I don't understand. I'm a huge
Guardians of the Galaxy family, though.
They're my favourites. I need to watch a second one still.
I really enjoyed the first one. I really enjoyed
him. I'm not actually that into my superhero movies,
but I really like both Guardians
films. I love Guardians.
I think they're... What a great
bunch. A bunch of a
bunch of boys. Sort of
an older film, not really that old, but
Hot Rod. Oh yeah.
I love Hot Rod.
It's really... I said you look shitty. Good night, Denise.
It's basically
It was written for Will Ferrell, who then ended up producing it,
and then it just starred the boys from the Lonely Island.
Yeah, it's a really good film.
I really like Andy Sandberg.
I love it.
There's like something funny and stupid that happens every five minutes.
I don't know about you guys.
Righty.
Well, I've been on a Marvel kick this weekend.
I've somehow watched like four Marvel films because I never really got into it before.
I was like kind of forced into it.
It was like, okay, I went to a civil war.
I'm not going to say anything else.
Infinity War.
But don't tell me because I haven't seen it.
Yeah, I've got that.
Those both mixed up twice now.
the weekend. I've just taught my flatmate, like, oh yeah, I saw Civil War.
I mean, Infinity War. I don't know anything. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. I'm curious to learn more.
I think in terms of TV, every like the Eric Andre Show.
Oh, yeah. That's kind of the weird...
Turn that poop into wine. Turn that poop into wine. Nice.
I'm trying to think what else is the...
It's an important video. Breaking Bad was, I think...
Oh, yeah. As far as, like, serious narrative stuff is one of my favorite TV shows ever.
Nice.
To the point where I think I stayed up all night.
when the last episode aired
so I could download the torrent
as soon as it aired
watch it.
It was like 5am I sat there
the episode ended
and I was just crying
like it's all of it
inconsolable
Have you seen Fargo?
I watched the first episode
Of the first season
Yeah
okay
And I was like
I'm not interested in pursuing this any further
I really enjoyed Fargo
I've heard like good things
But as I said like
In my head it's like
Where else is this going to go
It seems weird
This is a weird concept for a show
I'm saying that
I might rewatch I might try again
The first season I think is
best one. Second season is still really good and I haven't watched
the third season. Each one is its own story
but it's sort of set in a similar
I think it's set in the same place. It's all set
in Minnesota. It's almost like a reboot. Almost
every single one is a reboot where it's like
it's a similar story but with different characters.
I really like it. Interesting.
Film-wise I do like me old horrors
thing. Oh yeah.
These are two kind of similar films
but very different at the same time. The 1977
film House, Japanese horror
film is fucking spectacular.
Is that with the creepy girl who like
chops off his legs.
Yeah, I think so.
With, like, cheese wire or something.
No.
I think there's one point,
like, she falls into a grand piano,
and the piano eats it.
Oh.
Maybe not cheese wire.
I don't know.
There is a film where someone gets his feet sown off
by a creepy, like,
I don't know if,
yeah, I don't know.
House is a really good horror film.
Very weird.
It's like a fantasy,
it was like the trailer describes
it is like,
the world's first fantasy horror film.
It's made by this, like,
Japanese ad director
who made his first feature film.
It's fucking amazing.
That's not the one I'm thinking of.
The effects.
and it are awful, but like the best kind of awful.
Great.
Another 1977 horror film, Susperia,
in the Gialo Italian direction style.
It's fucking amazing.
God.
I highly recommend that one.
I don't know what that means.
Gallo just essentially means,
lots of pretty cool lights, everything's nice.
Yeah.
Yeah, but it's, again, I think...
And then death.
And death, lots of death,
and weird men and stabbing and ballerinas.
It's great fun.
Oh.
So how soon...
Fuck, I've forgotten the name already.
Susperia.
There we go.
that's my two
two favours right now
what about
cyber tracker
I heard you're a big fan
of that
cyber tracker yeah
he talks like
you can't understand
what he's saying
yeah we had a shit movie day
yesterday
yeah we watched two
one and a half
of the terrible DVDs
that we've been sent
we watched
cyber tracker in full
which was entertainingly bad
and yeah
that was good
yeah it was hilarious
it was like a combination
of blade runner
terminator
like every late 80s
early 90s
action film
with a terrible budget.
But then we also attempted to watch
the legend of the Titanic,
the animated...
That was a trip.
It was...
That outstayed its welcome after the intro
where it was like the terrible zoom in
and all of the set layers
were moving independently of each other.
Vomit-inducing.
Really, really wonky.
It was like, what, 25 minutes before
to the Titanic left port?
It just dragged on and on and on.
Everyone's waving at the ship
for like half an hour
while like people get on the ship.
and just have a few conversations.
It honestly didn't set sail for like 20 minutes or 25 minutes.
And then we fast forward to the end.
Yeah, we did fast forward all the way through.
What was the line about the mouse being attracted to the woman?
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
There were two little mice boys looking at...
You should say that this telling of Titanic
has anthropomorphized animals.
It does, yeah, who are like in little clothes,
like down in the bottom of a ship
and there's also like a little mouse captain and everything.
It's all equivalent.
And there were two little mice boys looking in,
to the first-class dining area
of the human part of the ship
and they saw the rose equivalent
from this film
and one of them was looking at a going like
wow she's beautiful
isn't she just a hot
all the voices were like that
yeah like that awful awful
and then his friend turns to me
and goes ha well you won't ever be able
to get with her because
you're a mouse and she's a woman
and then he just says if there's one thing
I'm not it's a racist
I caught me so off God
We just did not expect that
We were all looking at our phones at this point
Like not really paying attention
We've given up
It's one thing I'm not
It's a racist
It's like wow hey okay
Okay then
I really want to hear the original
Italian voices
Because it was dubbed over in English
Is it was in Italian?
Yeah it's originally Italian film
It looks almost anime-esque in a lot of places
What the fact that very little moves
Yes
Big eyes
That doesn't make any sense
Sorry Peter tell us
What is your
What is your?
What are you?
Hello?
Favorite media?
I know one of them is Tony Robinson's
Nature Side Walk.
Tiny Robinson.
That was good, actually.
Yeah, I quite enjoyed that.
Tony Robinson's Britain's ancient trackways
or ancient tracks, possibly.
That is just peak Robinson.
It is just so Robinson.
And it was, it's just, it's just Zen.
It's Zen viewing.
Nice, chill out.
There are two seasons of it,
and he just walks on some of the oldest roads in Britain,
like footpaths.
And along the way,
he, like, goes to all the, like, historical and cultural sites and tells you all the folklore and stuff.
That sounds delightful.
And it is just, ah, I'd not even thought of that, but yeah, that is actually up there.
It's like proper Sunday afternoon TV.
Yeah.
Yeah, sit down a cup of tea.
Granddad's asleep next to you.
It is.
Stick on a bit of it.
It doesn't matter if granddad is asleep next to you or dead.
Yeah, because...
Everything's fine three days ago.
Because Tony Robinson can be your new granddad.
Yes.
And I tweeted about how much I love the show, which I hardly ever do.
And Sempai noticed me and retweet.
Oh, that's nice. Thanks Tony. If you're listening. Tea Dog. Unlikely. I also, something I mentioned
previously on podcast is Whitechapel. I'm a big part of that. Keep me in to watch that. That's on Netflix.
That's like a gothic. It's not set in the 1800s. It's like modern crime solving. The first season is a
copycat killer replicating Jack the Ripper's killings. Yeah. Second season is the same thing,
but with the cray twins from London. And then seasons three and four, there are like, it's a bunch of like two
two episode different storylines each time and basically everything is like there's like a historical
precedent for the murders that are taking place and there's like supernatural elements to it and stuff
like witchcraft and oh sounds right nice yeah yeah they try and like discount all the supernatural
explanations but like there's always that little hint of like oh but wait how does that one thing
happened that we can't really explain but other than that my i think my biggest poncho
is British sitcoms
I'm not so into my American ones
but like old ones from anything between
like the 70s and the 90s
I love one foot in the grave
that's great
I'm watching porridge right now
Donnie Barker yeah
I've seen bits of it before but never the whole thing
and that's just been added to Netflix
so I'm watching that
nice yeah that kind of thing
films
one of my favourite films of all time is children of men
Oh yeah, oh, that's a technical masterpiece, I love that.
It's about a, the human race becomes infertile,
and then like 20 years later, when everyone's like, shit,
we're just going to die soon.
This one girl gets pregnant,
and there's like all these different factions
who want to try and use her for different reasons,
and like she's getting escorted to safety.
It's fucking great sequences in that film.
Yeah, there's some like 12 minute long,
one take shots.
Yeah, it's really, really impressive.
stuff where it's just, it's really immersive
because of these really long shots.
Yeah. That's something I really like.
I'm getting tingles, just thinking about the one
where like the guy and the woman through
like the baby, like just walking through
this building full of like refugees that everyone's looking
to be like, oh my God, his hair's like Messiah.
And the cameraman's just running along. There's all this
pyro going off around him like fake bullet
fire and stuff and the cameraman just
sticks with the action all the way there.
It's really, really impressive. I've seen some behind the scenes of that.
Like there's some crazy stuff to get those shots.
The bit in the car. They had this crazy camera rig
inside a car to do
like a super long sequence but also
be able to like pan the camera around
really impressive
so it's not like mother then
no no it's not I never saw mother
it sounds so fun
car crash I hated that film
yeah yeah just
it never ends it sounds a bit pretentious
oh it's so pretentious I think my girlfriend
thought it was all right but like
it just it's you can see why other people might not
it's about religion and it just slaps
you in the face for an hour and a half yeah
Do you understand?
Look at this.
Do you get it?
Look at this reference we've made.
And then just some bits were just so claustrophobic and just didn't end that like I was just so fed up of it by the end.
Yeah.
Just like they just went on and on.
It was like Legend of the Titanic.
Oh, a bit like the fight scenes in CyberTracor.
Oh my God.
Let's shoot out for five minutes.
It did actually say on the back of the box, didn't it?
Just unending shootout.
I mean, yeah, well, right.
Yeah, yeah.
It did not end.
Yeah, someone said that as like a bad review.
Just, oh, yeah, great.
Yeah, that's a room for us.
Other than that, just like sort of Spielberg-y type.
I love it.
Like, 90s movie, like Jurassic Park and...
Monster Films, is you a fan of those?
I like my monster films, yeah, their respective reboots.
I mean, I'm not...
I didn't massively love Jurassic World, but I'm still sticking with it.
The next one looks all right.
I'm quite interested.
And Star Wars.
I've heard people like just shitting all over the first trailer for the new Jurassic World.
Like you're saying, oh, it's the worst thing ever.
Yeah, some of the trailers have been really bad.
But as it's gone on, I think it looks better and better.
No doubt to market it.
Yeah.
I like Jurassic,
the new Jurassic Parker world,
whatever it was.
I mean,
I'm a very stupid film girl.
I kind of,
anything just watches over me.
I'm not particularly fussy in regards to story.
I'll just take it and just chow it down.
My monsters,
like my monsters,
and George.
George.
Yeah,
Indiana Jones.
That's me.
Wonderful.
Well, what a question.
God, yeah,
sorry,
we went off on that for about 20 minutes.
Long one.
Who would like to go next?
By which I mean,
Michael, would you like to go next?
Yes, I would like to go next.
have you got for us i've just got a little question a nice to explore ourselves and our passions
is it what's your save my goodness oh shit if you were given an unlimited budget and time to
work on a project what would you create what would be like a little thing you'd like to work
and make any scope any size you can kind of bring other people into this you can just be a one-man
thing if you're just given here's everything you need to make something what would you make
man i mean i can think of i can i can talk a little bit my ideas yeah well i've got
one in my head, but I feel like there's something I would probably much rather do than the one
I can think of right now. My thing is I've given myself all this unlimited scope and budget and
stuff. I'd say I'd just make a little book about Newcastle. I was like an idea I had a couple
years ago to like go around and interview small business owners. I see all the people who like kind
of belong to the city, what they've done for the city and take pictures of the restaurants or whatever
there is their own. So I just think like an aspect's really nice. Yeah. A little guide. Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah. Like a nice photographic interview. Here's the
players, what you could get there.
It's just to kind of open up
some maybe less than known places to people who are
visiting or just don't know the area that well.
That'd be a nice little thing to do.
That's lovely.
I have actually in the past thought about it.
I do have an answer, I think.
Linking back to one of my favourite TV shows,
Whitechapel season four
ends on the most
nail-biting cliffhanger ever
or not a cliffhanger, but like
just a massive question mark.
Like how and why and what is
going on and I would just pay ITV as much as I needed to pay them and all of the
respective actors and writers to just give me a final season that ends with like a full
stop not a question mark yeah that is literally what I would do no question nice in a
similar vein I'd like to see either because the community the TV show oh yeah they had this
thing going I think it was six seasons in a movie that's what they were going for yeah how many
seasons did they get?
I think they did end up getting like six.
Ooh.
But like the last few were like really hamstrung by switching networks.
Yeah.
Because it was Dan Harmon who was behind it and also the Russo brothers as well who have gone on
to do like Captain America Civil War for example and other things like that.
And those they kept coming and going and then Donald Glover left.
And then it went to Yahoo Flicks or something.
Yeah, that was for a season, which was I think maybe 10 episodes, maybe slightly few.
it and it's just it was fine
I enjoyed what I watched of community
I think I gave up about three or four seasons in
like when it like just as it started to decline
season two and three were amazing
and it started to trail off
which is a shame and I'd like to see them do
a movie just have a proper send off
and have Donald Glover back come back for it but I don't know
if he will because he's I think he's kind of
as a man he has completely changed since
then he's very serious now he does Atlanta
and he's won awards for that
and then he's also childish Gambino
so he's got an amazing
rap career so I don't know how it would
happen, but I would like to see that. But generally, in terms of unlimited budget,
I, you sort of would, my mind kind of goes to, well, you should probably cure that pesky old,
that pesky old disease. Yeah, but this is, I assumed it was a creative project.
Is it a creative project? It's kind of like something you'd like to make. I would do a bunch,
I would just like sort out my friends and family and like disease and stuff.
This is a selfish project where basically it's something you just want to do.
Selfish project. Treat yourself. Have you seen the film, the Hitchhiker's guy,
to the galaxy.
I have.
The Martin Freeman one.
Yeah.
You know the bit where it turns out
they're just like constructing Earth 2?
Yeah.
And they're just building all these planets.
And there's like a warehouse where they're just constructing just the world.
And there's a man who's walking around like spray painting the grass to make it green and stuff.
I'd like to build an entire universe.
That would be pretty cool.
Okay.
It would just be hours.
So we've gone from.
With your unlimited budget.
A book to a universe.
Nice.
Okay.
Yeah.
Like when you said a book, I was like, shit.
Did I get the wrong end of the stink here?
No, no.
I just,
I don't want to make another plan.
planet.
Yeah, no, that's fair.
Just one that doesn't have any of the resource problems that we...
So it'd be kind of just like an Earth 2, just like...
Earth 2.0, like some bug fixes and stuff and some...
Yeah, some...
Yeah, but now we're...
It's going to right, but you know, retail release, yeah.
That's the thing, like, generally speaking, if you sold resource problems, solved, I think I said
sold, then a lot of international conflicts would disappear.
I know that's not the root cause of all international conflicts, but...
Russia would certainly not be as powerful if...
we didn't need their oil, for example.
But, you know, there's still just people hating other people
because they come from another country, which is not a good thing.
No.
But, you know, people starving, that's not good.
People fighting over fuel, that's not good.
And land.
If we could just solve all that.
Yeah, but it would be a good old step in the right direction.
Theoretically, you could create this perfect planet where, like, everything's great.
It just takes one, one asshole, the wrong idea.
Fuck everything else.
Well, they get to go back to Earth One.
Oh, true.
As Earth 1 becomes like Australia.
Yeah, yeah, well, precisely.
I mean, I don't want it to be like some sort of horrifying utopia.
I want it to have problems because otherwise it's not,
what kind of life and world is that?
But instead of like people who commit heinous, heinous crimes,
like murder or, you know, rape and other horrific offences,
they just get shipped back to Earth 1 and they can just stay there.
Just go over there, you're going in the naughty corner,
which is a whole planet now.
You don't get to live.
I want to live on Plath...
You don't get to live on Earth 2.
You don't deserve it.
I want to go on Earth 1 all the criminals.
That'd be badass.
Michael would write a book on Earth 1.
Yeah, that'd be great.
Yeah, there be good.
Yeah.
Yeah, so you create Earth 1.
Earth 1's Newcastle would be really interesting.
And then White Chapel season 6 would base itself on crimes that were committed on Earth 1.
Now, I'm not saying that Earth 1 should act as some sort of like Arkham City type environment where it's like, well, fuck it.
The prison's bugged.
Might as well just cordoned off a portion of the city and just let the criminals live there and do what they want.
I'm not talking some Mad Max style.
situation. They're still
incarcerated, but we don't have to
keep them on Earth 2. People get
paid handsomely to work on Earth 1.
To be prison guards
at Earth 1. And you get shuttled between the
two. Oh, I don't know. Teleport, whatever we've got going on.
We mentioned a rap earlier, so I just really want to
play a little bit of Kanye West's new song.
Oh, the Snooppy-poop-de-poop-y.
Yeah, I kind of described it, but it's so fucking funny.
It's been in my head for a couple of days now.
Scoop-de-de-whoop-whoop-de-scoop-poop-poop-ty-scoop.
Scoopty whoop-dee-whoop-woop-pooh-p-p-do-oop-poo-poo-poo-poo.
You do realize that your mouth is going to be saying that on the animation.
That went on and on and on.
Fucking out.
This is the last 30 seconds of the song.
The rest of it's kind of like a normal.
Whoop-o-d- Scoop-dy- Scoop-dy-poop.
That man just, he's just not well.
Like, he's just...
It's so good.
He's just not a well man.
He's clearly really like...
Scoop-de-whoop.
There's something wrong.
wrong with him like he is like a bit sort of mentally mentally ill yeah people look at him
we were talking about it yesterday when we went to the carvery people people look at him and
go this guy is some kind of genius and then what was it michael you scoop uh let's just
go whoop did he scoop kaney west is a genius scoop de scoopdy whoo scoop de who I mean apart
he's clearly making that up as he goes a lot yeah no that's good lyrics man he spent
years crafting those uses is a fucking amazing album but
It frustrates me.
This is the equivalent of, you know, I mean, there's an argument against it when you have modern art,
which is just a canvas with a single speck of blue on it.
And you're like, well, I could have done that.
That's only sold for $10 trillion because it was done by John Johnson.
Yeah, but people say, well, why didn't you do it?
And it's like, well, because it's stupid.
Because if I did do it, I wouldn't sell it for $10 trillion because I'm just Peter, the guy who's not an artist.
And it's stupid.
Yeah.
But once you make a name for yourself in a certain industry,
you can do whatever the fucking hell you want.
And it's great. I love it.
I love this unadulterated, just doing whatever the fuck you want.
It frustrates me because he's such an asshole.
If he was a nice guy, I would, I'd be like, good luck to him.
You know, if like, who's a nice guy?
Drake.
Drake's a nice boy.
Martin Freeman, if Martin Freeman made a film where it was just him going
in a room on his own and it sold for like $10 billion.
Would he call it Martin Freeman's The Scoopiddy Room?
Yeah, he would.
Fat man, Scoopty, poopity, whoopty.
I would wish him all the best of luck, because Martin Freeman is a lovely man.
Yeah, well, Martin Freeman didn't do it.
Can you worse beat him to him.
And Martin Freeman doesn't have, like, clearly undiagnosed mental issues that need to be addressed.
Oh, he's just, he's alternative.
No, he's not.
Look at the way his facial expression changes all the time.
That's not how people work.
After everyone unfollowed.
No, it's not right.
There's something going on in his head.
Can we need to work it out.
His child is called North West.
Stop.
No.
Fuck off, man.
Ryan, at Ryan Shaw 412, asks,
what's your guilty pleasure game?
Like a game you know is bad,
but you still play and enjoy anyway.
Man.
I'm a big fan of renowned French weirdo,
Dwayvid Quedge.
Michel On Sal.
No.
The other one.
Dwayvd, David Quedge.
Who's known for, you know,
his studio, Quantic Dream and Heavy Rain
and Beards to Souls.
and Fahrenheit or, what was it called, Indigo Prophecy.
Yeah, yeah.
I love Fahrenheit.
Yeah, they're ridiculous games, and they're very wanky,
and at some point they usually fall apart.
Yeah.
And Beyond Two Souls, just in general, was a bit of a dog's dinner.
Jason.
But I just loved them because they're so different.
And then in the wake of that, you know, tell-tale have risen to prominence.
And then what was the horror game called, Until Dawn?
Right.
Oh, right, yeah, yeah.
took those ideas and sort of made them a lot better.
Yeah, a bit more, slightly more grounded, I guess.
I'm a big fan of his, and his games are wonky, and he defies his opinion, but I really
like his games.
I don't have a guilty pleasure game, don't you?
I don't know.
Maybe you should feel guilty that you've played like 1,200 hours of Binding of Isaac.
It's nothing wrong with that.
I've got a favorite game.
It's nothing guilty about that.
It's a good game.
It is a good game.
I don't know.
I always saying guilty pleasure is a weird thing.
Like, if you like something, you shouldn't feel guilty about it.
just go out there and like it.
It's more a question of things that you know are bad.
Yeah.
There are very few things that I like that I actually keep quiet about.
Like, I'm mostly just like, yeah, it's a guilty, but like deal with it.
That's what I like.
Apart from Spirovor, you know, I'm a bit embarrassed about that.
You love that one.
Yeah, I love just the thought of being inside that flame belly.
When we give you that birthday kick, it was supposed to be shared with the office.
You weren't supposed to take it home for yourself just to enjoy.
He's like that picture was for everyone.
He licked the picture, like all of it.
Loads.
You just came in the room
and they're just like
going to town on that
Are our listeners
smart enough to understand
irony and sarcasm?
Ben,
just cut this out, Ben, just cut this out, right?
This is really...
Because I think so.
We've had some trouble recently
with people
When you said...
Oh, I love pushing people
to see how far we can take them wise.
You said Meme in a video recently
and someone replied in the comments
and very sincerely said
Ben, it's pronounced meme, you idiot.
Oh shit.
She showed me.
Yeah.
I also mentioned in a video
that
when I was on Tinder
someone once tried to like
see if I'd be interested in like
being fed or whatever you know the weird thing is
where they just feed you or whatever
and so I thought you were in a relationship
Ben what are you doing on Tinder?
I haven't been in a relationship since birth
there were times
you know and people are like
I've caught you
I think there's a few people out there who think I'm married with children
I've made a few references
in editing
like I'll please my children
are in tweets and stuff
my Twitter is very much a weird place
don't believe anything on there
Michael's got children
Ben is a two-timer
and I love Spirovore
One of these isn't a lie
What was the question?
Something about Vourty pleasure
Guilty pleasures
Yeah
Guilty Pleasures
I know that
on some metrics
Hogs of War is a bad game
Some people would also say
it's a great game
But, like, graphically, it's horrendous.
Hit detection's really bad.
There's a lot wrong with it.
But Rick Mail.
But Rick Mail.
And that's enough.
And that's great.
Also, Gauntlet Legends, I really like.
You do like a lot of obscure PS1 games that may not have reviewed too well.
Exactly, yeah.
You've got that nostalgia, right?
There'll be plenty that I enjoy that I can't even think of right now.
They're probably not actually that great.
But the original Pokemon games in many videos sort of talking about
glitches and exploits and things
they're often frequently referred to
as the worst games and the most
broken games and I'm like shit
really is that how they're looked at because I loved them
and I still like to play them
I can't think of a single
bad game I like
they're all great Michael's perfect
yeah I have my taste is impeccable
no room for improvement
Luke Smith asks are you planning a party
or video special for a million subscribers
I mean yeah it's time to start playing
yeah really yeah let's get to 35
Okay first, shall we?
God.
What a cruel.
My God, please tell your friends.
Yeah, please, please share the channel with all your friends and Tom, how great we are.
Yeah, that'd be great.
If we hit a million subscribers, I'll do a flip off the Clifton Bridge.
Yeah?
But now there, right now.
Really? I'm signing a legal document right now.
There we go.
We had it ready.
That's true.
Peter is a notary.
What?
A what?
A legally binding document.
Yeah, yeah.
A notary.
A notary.
You can witness things and go, whoa.
Someone who walks around with a special stamp and witnesses legal
documents says yes that is that is a real
fucking out that's a real thing that happened
there we go so now if we get a million subscribers on your stamp
that's nice yeah do you think our mouths
moved when I stamped probably
yeah that was all of our
shocked faces
we're doing this we're doing it
we're doing it right I hope
you audio MP3 listeners are enjoying
that yeah with no context
check out the video for a crazy animation
great it's great fun
Ben what's your thing I brought a discussion
about weird diets or things that you tried or a period
where you just had like, you just thought,
I'm going to give this a go because why the fuck not,
I've got nothing to lose,
and then it's sort of backfired in some way.
Yeah, right.
I have a couple of examples.
You guys are already aware of them,
but feel free to ask questions.
Oh, yeah, I have many questions, yeah.
So the first one was grape juice was always like a treat,
like a Christmas thing we'd have, like red grape juice.
I think it's delicious.
I haven't had it for years now.
I can't say I've eaten grapes plenty,
but I don't know if I've had the juice on its own.
I'm not a wine fan,
but it's like that with all the alcoholic bitterness taken out.
It's just a really sweet, delicious.
Like rosé.
Sounds nice.
It's very lovely.
If you can try some.
And white grape juice is practically the same thing.
So when I moved out and went to university,
a number of years ago,
I discovered that I had to feed myself.
Yeah, what?
which I was not familiar with, quite frankly, disgusted by.
And internet shopping was the thing that I could do.
And I was like, oh, okay.
What are vegetables?
What are fruit?
Vitamin pills?
Nuh.
Sunshine, maybe.
Rainbow's lollipops.
And I just bought everything that I'd ever wanted from an internet shop.
So I bought, I'm a big fan of Ginster slash Ginster's slices.
I love chicken and mushroom in particular.
to my favourite.
I love those.
And if they're on sale,
I always buy one or five.
If you find some on sale,
please send them to.
Don't.
They will not keep in the post.
But I love those.
Maybe a voucher.
If you got to run it,
that's fine.
So I bought like 15 of these,
loads of sausage rolls,
chocolate,
and about eight cartons of grape juice.
It's like if a kid
to manage to kid
a reason on birthday party.
It's exactly that.
They're having sausage rolls and grape juice.
There was a,
There was a show on Channel 4 or Channel 5 like that
where they had like 12 kids under the age of 10, I think,
living effectively on their own in a house.
There were some like crew there,
but they were not to interfere whatsoever unless absolutely necessary.
And these kids were given a budget to go into the supermarket.
That sounds so good.
I just imagine what they did.
Yeah, yeah.
So I, outside of the, you know, the delicious pastries that I purchased,
I sort of just
just lived on grape juice for about a week
with no solid food
Why didn't you eat the solid food though?
I don't know
I can't give you that answer
I guess maybe you chugged a load of grape juice
because you were like, oh I've got all this grape juice
and then you were full of liquid and didn't want any food
I think that might have been it
Yeah
The end result was that it frequently made my teeth red
Wow
Sort of stained them a little bit
Which is fine because you just clean your teeth
and sorts of it out
and I know
we keep going to the toilet space
every episode
maybe once every 10 or 15 minutes
it's a natural part of life
it's no problem there
but it looked like a bird had been in
the bathroom right like a big old
berry plop like no
solidity to it at all
yeah not the white bird poos the purple ones
yes exactly it was purple
I mean at least the inside is nice and clean
it's like in the ename just with grape juice
yeah just a little cleanse a juice cleanse
Kind of.
Well, you want to be careful
with, particularly with grapes, I think.
Because I know someone, I won't
name who they are or how I know
them. But I know someone
who, when they were very young, I think
like four or five,
they discovered grapes
and sat and ate grapes and grapes and grapes.
And they got like acid burns in their
asshole when they took...
What? Not like permanent.
But like they got... Like it burnt
to shit.
Peter, I told you not tell anyone about
That's scary.
Sorry, Michael.
It was Michael Johnson.
It was Michael's child.
Yeah, one of Michael's many children.
Yeah, I think the acid in grapes can be quite bad.
Quite scary.
Well, luckily, I survived.
Yeah.
I then sort of swore off that.
I don't think I've drunk it since, but I'm still a big fan of grape juice.
It's delicious.
What a treat.
The other time was in my third year at university.
Right.
Where I just thought, I kind of want to eat a little bit healthier.
I've been eating a lot of...
Oh, yeah.
I went to uni in Leicester.
Those in Leicester listening will be very familiar with Maryland chicken,
of which there are about seven or eight of them.
Okay.
It's one of them.
It's one of those.
But they only exist predominantly in Leicester and a couple in Birmingham.
Because I've tried to find them elsewhere.
Because they used to do a meal that I really like their chicken strips.
They were like spicy and kind of soft and I really liked them.
And they were so cheap as well.
And it's the kind of sort of chicken shop where they have,
or the kind of chain where there's two on a street.
Yeah, you know those ones that you only get in towns
and they're like local to that town.
So I used to eat there a lot
and I thought I kind of want to eat a little bit healthier.
What can I do?
Well, celery is calorie negative.
Oh, no.
Why don't I eat nothing but celery all week
and then reward my, Saturday it's time for a reward.
Saturday is treat day.
Yeah, that's how it works.
You have no negative, not even no calories.
You lose calories.
Uh-huh.
And then six days a week.
Oh my God, you did a little Brian Butterfield.
I tried to Brian Butterfield.
God, yeah, that's actually what you were doing.
Oh, my God.
But it didn't, as you might be surprised to learn, it did not work.
These trousers are so loose.
I've got to do it to buy you back.
Or 24 hours, you can eat all the chicken strips.
And basically, I think I made it like two days.
Mm.
Didn't last long.
I got about halfway through the first day, and I was so hungry.
Yeah.
And you just crave anything that's not that.
Yeah.
So I started craving potato waffles.
or potato grids.
So it started with me just,
I was like, well, how can I make this hummus more palatable?
How about hummus, sorry?
How can I make the celery more palatable with hummus?
So then I was eating it with hummus and then obviously hummus isn't,
you know, huge moose.
It's not particularly good for you, the huge moose.
Better than not eating anything at all.
Yeah, that's true.
There was some calories coming in.
Good.
And then I would like burn through, like, for one piece of celery
because you had to chew it for ages.
I'd like get half the fucking tub of hummus on.
Because it was just,
is horrible.
Yeah.
It's not nice at all.
Day two, I got to about lunchtime and then I bought some potato waffles and it was all over.
God.
Just as binary with you.
It's all and nothing.
Exactly.
Like, there's no, I had no ability to sort of measure out a reasonable diet.
It was all or nothing.
God.
The celery is not calorie negative.
That's a bullshit thing.
Is it?
It has calories.
It's just very, very few.
No, yeah.
It's not that they don't have calories.
active protest.
Still, that's 100% a lie.
Obviously, it's like 13 calories of state or something, but yeah, it's not quite...
Have you guys ever done anything similar where you...
I know you've been on quite the white chocolate kick recently.
After the 80th chocolate bars it got sent.
People sent a lot of milker, and I'm very grateful for it.
To be honest, I'm not actually having a massive chocolate kick.
I'm just eating it slowly.
I'm just working through it.
I'm really not like actually...
As part of a balanced diet.
As part of a balanced diet, I'm not properly like ODing on chocolate right now.
now. I'm just, I know that I've got
a backlog of chocolate forever.
Yeah. It's exciting.
That's great. Yeah, I know. You would never
need to buy chocolate again. It's fantastic.
What about you, Michael?
I don't think we've ever done like an extreme
just kind of all the one thing
and none of anything. When I
first went vegetarian, for two
weeks, I just farted non-stop.
But you still fart a lot.
Yeah, you should have seen it. Like, literally
those were like dangerous days. Because this
second year of uni, I moved out into a
friends flat and from like September to December I was normally eating meat whatever and I came back
after the Christmas period hey Leo I'm vegetarian now he was like wow what what what and then around this
time it was like near the hand-in date for a documentary we'd be making at uni right so it was like
crush time we had like three days left to finish it and we like had so much editing left to do
so about three days we had about five people living in our flat just kind of taking turns sleeping
editing like processing things and oh boy that was peak fart time for me oh no and
And I think it's a miracle
I'm still friends with some of those people
because it was just every 10 minutes
and it got to the point where I bust out my phone
to record every fart.
So somewhere in my... You should have had farta.
Oh yeah. Fartre.
So I bust out my iPhone 5.
By the end of the week I had a recording about 50 farts.
And to shame I dropped that phone
in a pint and it died.
So I lost access to all those fart sound effects.
But oh my God, I've never farted so much.
I am a farty gassy boy.
you eating during your initial vegetarian days?
Pizza?
Just pizza.
Tanks of methane.
Yeah.
Because I lived with a Korean and he was a really good cook.
So I like lots of kimchi fried rice.
Oh, nice.
It was nice.
I was eating well, but obviously I think I went for a lot of easy options at first
before I learned to cook, which involved pizza, chips, stuff like that.
It makes me really hungry now.
Yeah, I'm really.
Just the words.
It's definitely lunch time.
There's that guy that eats Big Macs every day.
Yeah, there is.
Supersize me.
Yeah.
No, there's a man who just has a Big Mac every day.
For about 40 years, he's been eating Big Macs.
Oh, my God.
He's in the documentary, right?
I think he's eating his millionth Big Mac a few years ago.
Jesus.
How many days is that?
He's normal size.
Yeah, he just, you know, he's portion control.
Some people just have the metabolism.
He looks, it looks like one of those, like, a weird hippie type.
I guess if he eats other stuff that's not as bad for him, then.
That's the thing that he goes in there.
He gets out of the cheese and the bread and the meat.
I just Google search Bog Mac there.
Bog Mac.
That's what happens after you eat a Big Mac every day.
That's what was left in the toilet in the last week.
Just the bog Mac.
He looks like the kind of guy
who'd eat and nothing but big Macs.
Oh my God, look at that.
Yeah, he does look.
One for the link dump there.
He's a strange looking dude.
Wait, maybe he's a millionth.
It was a hundred thousandth, maybe.
Yeah, a million is a lot of years.
Oh, 30,000th.
Oh, can't even get that.
Jesus.
What a loser.
Sorry, I have a wild-year.
30,000.
Pathetic.
Big Macdaddy, Don Gorski.
That's his name.
Macaddy.
Oh, my God.
Well, there we go.
That's the thing I brought.
It didn't generate as much discussion as I'd hoped it would
because clearly I am...
You're a monster like that
and it's just a problem exclusive to me.
I think I'm too sensitive to like stick with any of the same thing
on a regular, like just every day for a week.
I think after two or three days I would just instantly be like,
okay, I can't, I'm just kind of like...
Like my dog, he's very sensitive, he poops whenever he eats anything a little bit different.
Like chicken, if he eats a bit of chicken, you'll poop everywhere.
I mean, that doesn't happen to me, but yeah, yeah.
If I did for like a week, that might not be good for me.
Well, we wrap up with one final question.
Is it from Ross Hornby?
This is from some guy called Ross Hornby.
Ross Hornby.
At DJH3 Macs on Twitter.
It plays like the banjo.
No, he plays the horn.
No, that's George Fornby.
What?
George Fornby.
Who?
When I'm cleaning windows.
Is this the one that does the trains?
That's just Hornby.
Right.
He doesn't have a first name.
He's just Hornby.
Just in Hornby?
Just in Hornby.
Just in case.
Hello?
Hello?
What are we doing?
What does DJ H3 Max say?
Fuck, he knows the username.
He says, how sticky should it be?
Two.
Yeah, I would say at least like a six.
No, two six, because it's very easy to go overboard on the stickiness.
But do you not, like, get any pleasure out of, like, cleaning the stickiness?
Because if you're on a two, then there's no...
Well, how the hell do you clean up a sick stickiness?
That's stuck.
That is, like, special stuff for it.
Unsticker, right.
Pressure hose.
I think it should just be as sticky as it is.
Like, you know, sometimes, if it's been a while, then it might be stickier.
It might be less sticky.
So you're saying just however stick it is is the perfect level of stickiness.
Yeah, like, as long as, I guess as long as everyone is enjoying themselves, like, it doesn't really, it doesn't really matter.
I don't know.
Do you think he's talking about the, the cum-proof bedside table?
Oh, I thought he was talking about, um, I thought he was talking about, um, uh, the tree sticks.
That's, tree sap.
Tree-saps, sticks.
Three-six.
Three-six.
Well, we might have to get more clarification next week, I guess, or next fortnight.
That's embarrassing, isn't it?
We're all thinking about different things.
God, it's God's sake.
