And we'll give you a shout out at the end of the show as well. Thank you so much. Thank you, everyone. Thank you, everybody. I am this week's Question Master. I've brought some questions along for you guys. Yeah. I think we should start with one straight way and then do some things.

Yes, please. This one comes from Nicholas Otter, who is Lord Brotovic. Oh my God. That guy, we know that one. Hey, you demasked him. Yeah, well, he's out there on Twitter. It's fine. With his microphone.

Yeah. Lord Brotovich says, In a fit of rage, Ben has unmoded both Cecil Prumps and me. This is a hypothetical situation for now. Seems accurate. Your friends of the VCU, that's the Vidiot Cinematic Universe, offer their support to take over that position. Who are you going to choose and why?

and then in brackets he says and please don't unmod us Ben so we often get asked in fact even in this cohort of questions there were a whole load of people saying which vidiates the universe character would you choose for da-da-da but I thought mods is

that's a unique position yeah it's a lucky position to be in yeah so you need someone with integrity someone who knows when and where to exercise their power someone who can be around all the time I would love to see Dick Machinko as a mod Just famed to put people down Like 90, nighty, a piece of shit

Yeah, a man with integrity See, this is why I was worried Because if we went with Dick People, there would be deaths And also probably martial law I don't think anyone could Anyone would be able to have fun No

But what a time that he'd have And we'd have just watch him unleash hell And destroy our audience We could just point in a direction And he'd go there I do, I mean, I personally think he, although he's often probably one of the lowest hanging fruit, would Dave Benson do mods for stuff, do you think? Yeah. I think he would.

What kind of stuff do you think in exchange for modding? Because we all know modding is a really, really tough job. So he would need a lot of stuff. A special badge on Twitch, a couple of e-motes? Yeah, well, yeah, he'd get those, he'd get those, you know, as part and parcel of doing the job. but like what real-world tangible stuff would Dave want in exchange for modding? DVD? DVD?

He's got loads of them, though. I'm going to say six photo albums from random families. Okay. That's what he'd want. Wow. I mean, I want those too, so I get that. I love photo albums. I would love just photo albums from random families, so I think he'd want that too.

It would be interesting. You could just make up your own narrative in your head. head as you scrolled through the photos, wondering who was who, how they were related. What an adventure. How about he would want enough cowboy hats for a posse of 12? Nice, yes. And then he could wear it while modding, but then he could also enlist local 90s celebrities in the circles that he runs in, and they could all posse up and go do kids shows and stuff.

In exchange for more stuff, it's just, it's true. trickle-down economics. Oh, that sounds like the perfect mod squad, 90s children's TV presenters with cowboy hats, Yeho. Yes. One alternative I've just thought of, let's not forget that Jeff the Mungoose has hands.

Oh. So he can type and use a mouse. That's true. At the same time, though, Bobby Babylonie does kids' birthday parties and is used to interacting with probably unruly children and let's be honest

that's not too far removed from most Twitch chats. Yeah, from you lot. So if we could get a series of emotes created involving balloon animals that she could post, everyone would be distracted and thrilled. Yeah, it's like a

Twitch balloon experience, I want that. Who'd be the ultimate mod? I think we've got to decide on one because you can go chaotic with it or you can go lawful with it, you know, all the dandy alignments. We need to find our new mod. I'll tell you what we do need to do

for future questions of this sort is like have a full list of all the friends in the uniforms. Just a reference. I can't even remember most of them. Yeah. We can't have rules boss. We've got to rule him out

because he would be useless. Yeah. He's watching on a delay of up to an hour sometimes and that's just not going to work, is it? No. Psycho Seagull, too chaotic. Neat face, not sentient.

No. Just be the worst mod ever. Probably been eaten by the children. Yeah, the children really wanted to cook him and eat him, she said, the mum. Oh, dear. Christ, what else is there? Imagine if you had meat face. I would not, he would live in my freezer forever and ever, like, but, like, wedding cake.

Yeah. My prized possession. What about the fast cow that's wanted by police? Because if there's any, if there's any sort of naughtiness, the cow could just be round the house of whoever did the naughtiness. in just like no time at all because he's fast and he's always on the move on the move because he's scared of the police catching up

exactly that's another option could be it there's so many there's so many choices so many brilliant candidates for this role yeah mcnuggies

Ronald Coon do you want some of my mcnogues maybe Dave Dave on as in Dave on Twitter oh Dave that's true we could we could draft David yeah

Yeah. I do. Actually, yeah. No, because he bring people in the chat drinks. He's got a friendly face. He's competent at using a browser because he's on Twitter right now all the time. He's taking all the boxes. I think it's got to be at Dave on Twitter. I think he could like ban you in the most polite way possible and you wouldn't even feel offended. Everyone wants to be Dave's friend. Yeah. Lovely man. That's it. I think, oh, sorted. That's it. It's Dave. He's in. Just Dave. He'll fill both positions. He will.

Yeah. He's, yeah. He's. enough man for it. Yeah. All right then. Who would like to do a thing? I have a thing. Oh, okay. Thing me. I'm going to thing you because we're all going to learn and I thought let's get the learning out of the way so we can talk about farts and stuff. Yeah. But I thought it would be worth doing a bit of a learn and this is ripped wholesale from a website called history.com which appears to be the history channel but there's just history.com for some reason. That's a great domain name. That's amazing. That must be worth a lot of money. It's pretty good. This is all about the deadly flu outbreak of, or the influenza pandemic, I should say, of 1918 and 1919.

Is that Spanish flu? And people's, yes, and people's aversions to wearing masks at the time. And the punishments therein. And I thought, as history seems to be repeating itself, why not go back and have a little look at what happened then? And why? Why? Are we ready? Yeah. I'm ready. The influenza pandemic of 1918 and 1990 was the most deadly flu outbreak in history, killing up to 50 million people worldwide.

In the United States, where it ultimately killed around 675,000 people, local governments rolled out initiatives to try to stop its spread. These varied by region, and included closing schools and places of public amusement, enforcing no spitting ordinances, encouraging people to use handkerchiefs or disposable tissues, and requiring people to wear masks in public. Mask-wearing ordinances mainly popped up in the Western states, and it appears most people complied with them. The nation was still fighting in World War I,

and officials framed anti-flu measures as a way to protect the troops from the deadly outbreak. As one Red Cross PSA put it, the man or woman or child who will not wear a mask now is a dangerous slacker. This sense of wartime duty and the fear of being seen as a slacker may have motivated those who complied with mask orders in cities like San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, and Phoenix. Yet, even though compliance was high, some complained that the masks were uncomfortable, ineffective, or bad for business. Officials were caught in public without masks, and after the war ended, and there was no longer a sense that people should wear

masks to keep the troops safe, some dissenters even formed an anti-mask league in San Francisco. Wow. Look this inanimate object. I hate it. It's oppression. Still, for the small percentage of people who went without a mask entirely, reports suggest their issue had less to do with the science behind them and more to do with personal comfort.

You read routinely about people not wanting to wear them because then they're hot and stuffy, says Nancy Bristow, chair of the History Department at the University of Puget Sound, I think, and author of American Pandemic, the lost worlds of the 1918 influencer epidemic. Some people argue against them because they say that they create fear in the public and that they want to keep people calm,

which I think is really an excuse to critique them because someone doesn't want to wear them. And also, why the fuck have you temporarily banned spitting? I want to be able to spit, God damn it. I love spitting. I live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Let me spit. It's my human right.

I fought for my country, I'm going to spit wherever. I want. The First Amendment, guys. The first spit amendment, more like. Yeah, wow, it's a good one. Yeah, see? This great country is built on a foundation of spit.

I am being oppressed. Yeah. Cities that passed masking ordinances in the fall of 1918 struggled to enforce them among the small portion of people who rebelled. Common punishments were fines, prison sentences, and having your name printed in the newspaper. Oh! In one horrific incident in San Francisco,

A special officer for the Board of Health shot a man who refused to wear a mask as well as two bystanders. What? What? You're just complicit by association. Fuck you. They're not wearing a mask. Get them. This was far different from the treatment of San Francisco's leaders received when they didn't comply.

At a boxing match, a police photographer captured images of several supervisors, a congressman, a justice, a Navy rear admiral, the city's health officer, and even the mayor, all without masks. The health officer paid a $5 fine, and the mayor later paid a $50 fine, but unlike other mask slackers, they received no prison time, and then it says in parentheses, not to mention no one shot at them. San Francisco's first masking order began in October and ended in November after the World War 1 armistice. In January, when flu cases began to surge again in San Francisco, the city implemented a second

mask order. This time the resistance was much more intense. A group of dissenters that included a few physicians and one member of the Board of Supervisors formed the Anti-Mask League, which held a public meeting of over 2,000 attendees. Brilliant. Nice. It speculated the resistance to San Francisco's second mask order may have been more intense because the country was no longer at war and some residents didn't feel the same sense of patriotic duty they had before. In any case, the city was an outlier. It doesn't appear that there were similar leagues or protests in other cities. Because they all died, because they had 2,000 man meetings.

They're all dead. Nancy Tomes, a distinguished professor of history at Stony Brook University who has written about public health measures during the flu epidemic, sorry, says while there were pockets of resistance to mask wearing in 1918 and 1990, it was not widespread. And unlike handkerchiefs and paper tissues, which Tomes said people began to use more regularly because of the pandemic, mask wearing did not catch on in the United States after the ordinances ended. It's still difficult to say how effective mask wearing on its own was in 1918 and 1919. What is clear is that communities that implemented stronger health

measures overall fared better than those that didn't. Today we can look back and see they flattened the curve and the communities that did enforce much stricter regulations and for a longer period of time and began earlier had lower death rates, Bristow says. But they didn't have that data tabulated yet, so I think in the aftermath it wasn't as clear that what they had done had been effective. There we go. They just didn't have the data at the time to prove to people, hey, look, this will help. And even though we now definitely have that data, people still don't want to wear masks

and they just want to spit everywhere. It's weird. In certain parts of Asia, years ago there was a massive cultural shift when I think it was like to do with outbreaks of SARS and stuff. like these are countries that have been already experienced, you know, pandemics on a much smaller scale to COVID-19, but they've had this, they've been able to do this shift from, right, masks are fine, so let's all wear them. And it's just kind of accepted there.

Even when there's, you know, not the threat of a deadly virus, people will wear it. And it's smart. It's because it is very good. I mean, it's not that uncomfortable. You can get some nice stylish masks. You can look pretty sick while out and about and staying safe. And it's, it's good because it's going to be weighed for a while. and we need to stop breathing on each other.

Yeah. If you have access to a mask, do wear it. And if you don't have access to a mask, wear a scarf or a handkerchief. Or just be careful. Just exercise due caution. The thong. People wearing thongs on their faces.

Great. Do it. Go crazy. Have some fun with it. Your mask is beautiful. Live your truth. Oh, thank you, Ben. Wow. Well, that was very eye-opening, Ben.

Thank you. We've got a thing here from Sammy B. Captain Lugie, who says, you've been invited to DJ. at my wedding, my being Sammy B's wedding, not my Peter Austen's wedding. Oh, damn it. Okay.

What middies have you queued up to wow my guests? Oh, yes. Oh, well, you know, Ocean Man, first dance. Yeah, Ocean Man. First dance. Also, like, the drop in Scrillex as well.

Yeah, that was good. That was great. Do you just want the drop? There's like a little button you can play. Boo. Beboo. Beboo. How about through the fire and the flames?

Oh, that's a good midi I reckon that one would be outrageous I'd like to hear something like We Will Rock You in Middy form because the opening which is just stamping sounds and clapping sounds would not be very well replicated by MIDI so it would just be sort of

and kind of lose all of its effect I think Oh I don't know I think I've got faith in a minute I think a MIDI could pretty faithfully replicate that Yeah Because you can have like a hundred instruments going at once, so you just need to build that up

and just... It'll be weird and bitty, but it'll be good. Maybe, yeah. The chicken dance. Yeah, chicken dance would be really good. It's a classic. El Chombo, Chaconan.

I think that would make a good midi as well. That would, that one. Yeah. I'm just looking through my actual MIDI downloads out of the minute. The Simpsons theme song, everybody's favorite wedding hit. Oh, God, perfect.

You know, El Chombo came after an old video I uploaded about eight or nine years ago and he came after it last year just to copyright claim it because it had like a clip of his music in it. Really? It took him eight years to find it, but he claimed that video with 100 views. And I hope it's worth every penny and every hour of effort it took to do it. He's on a mission to hunt down every video that uses the song on the internet. He's doing it.

He's up to 2008. That's what you get for making meme music, man. Make good music and people won't use it in their stupid videos. God. I would love, like, maybe not an entire wedding night, DJ a set of middies, but, you know, like the midi, midi hour where it's like midnight, your uncle's passed out, everyone's a bit drunk, let's get to another family better and listen to some midi.

Yeah, it's middy midnight. Yeah. There we go. Six middies to middy-nine. Nice. Well, I think there's any song you put into middy form And it just, it just works It's great, it's a new experience, makes it more visceral

Yeah, yeah I'm trying to think of certain songs That kind of rely on the exact instrument used in the song And if, you know, the moment you, I mean, a bit like the Skrillex one You know, it was trying to be sort of bassy wob-wabs and stuff And it was just sort of Which, you know, in some ways, that's what Dubstep is it's just brs sounds, but

you know, it's very reliant on the the timbre, I believe is the technical term. Possibly. I might be misusing that actually, but how about sale? Oh, yeah. Sale would be great. Yeah.

I'm listening to that. The second this podcast ends, I'm going to whack open my middy plan and have a bop. It's got to just tweet it completely without context, please. Yeah. Yeah.

What should you do? walk down the aisle to in midi form I've decided we're also doing that the ceremony is midi maybe just a midi form of here comes the bride why not yeah a classic or hear me out

how about muse uprising in midi form sure yeah I like that they will not something us but in midi I want to hear that it would be so it would be astonishing

astonishingly car wreckish, I think. I'd love to hear chop suey in middy form. Beb-be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be-boop. Yeah. I just, I don't think, yeah, that's this. I think we've created the perfect wedding there, so... Oh, fuck. Enjoy your playlist. Use it wisely for when you actually get married.

Enjoy it, Sammy. Yeah, have a good day, Sammy. And congratulations to you and Mrs. to be Mrs. B. Mrs. B. Sammy B and Mrs. B. Yeah. A pair of bees. I hope she likes Midi otherwise she's going to have a miserable wedding

Yeah definitely Who doesn't like Midi Midderable We will quickly move on to Another question Oh yeah Because James at Corrosion Audio Simply asks

Cheese or Petril Oh fuck that's hard It is hard isn't it I think the world has to lose Either cheese or petrol And we've got to decide which one goes. Okay.

Well, the thing is, petrol, that doesn't count diesel, does it? I think maybe we have to include diesel in petrol. I don't know how fuels work. I mean, they're not the same, but I'm just saying, you know, it would be quite easy just to say, well, we'll get rid of petrol and convert to diesel,

but... Yeah. Yeah, I think... Maybe there's a plus side to getting rid of petrol, though. That means the world will stop relying on petrol for its cars. We'll all switch to electric or automobiles, and by that will save the planet

or cars powered by cheese Oh my God, there we go Yeah They would smell either lovely or horrible I'm not sure God Allow me to say the obvious Just for each side

The world is simply not ready To suddenly lose fossil fuels immediately Everything will break I honestly thought you were going to say The world is not ready to lose cheese immediately But on the other hand The world is not ready to lose cheese because it's delicious.

We don't have the technology for cheese-powered cars just yet. Renewable energy is really getting there, but most people can't afford it. So, you know, how are you going to get your cheese if you live far away enough from the shops that you rely on petrol to get you to the cheese vendor? True.

You know? Oh, God. It's all connected. This is a very complicated issue, and there'll be several committees that we'll need to form to get to the bottom. of this. Absolutely. And we're not wearing masks. Let me tell you that. Absolutely not. Fuck it. Unless they're made out of cheese. Yes. There are a lot of developing countries that obviously

are not, don't have the technology to have loads of loads of renewable based cars either. So you know, certainly there's a growing market for electric cars in the UK and in the West. But there are a lot of nations of the world that rely very, like even more heavily on petrol than we do. So I've got to think about others too, you know. Obviously, it would be nice if everyone was just using solar powered, you know, solar power or other renewable energy. But yeah, like you say, it can't happen overnight. We might have to ditch cheese to the greater good. Yeah, I think I'm going to, I'm landing on the side of petrol, which makes me sick to my stomach.

But it's just the rug, the petrol rug cannot be pulled out from under the earth just yet. Well, before we're cementing our idea, can we just? rattle off some names of food that have cheese in it so you make sure you really want to do this oh you're right i know but i got pizza i know i know it's not easy it's not easy cheesy chips but not shitty ones on the other hand petrel smells great it does oh that is good yes and we somehow food eyes petrol petrol petrol smell i sniff petrol recreationally When are we getting that new Lynx flavour When it smells of petrol, huh?

When can I walk around? When are all the teenage boys are going to stink of petrol, huh? Oh, it'll be so good. Make your eyes water a little bit. That kind of smell. Delicious. I'd fucking bathe in petrol if I could.

Yeah, me too. Faw wasn't so expensive and corrosive. It was cheap, well, it was cheap as hell for a little bit. You missed your chance. You could have filled a bath of stuff like a fibre. I did. Oil was. People were, they were paying you to take oil.

off their hands for a certain period of time earlier this month. Mad. The price of a barrel of oil was like cheaper than the cost of the barrel or something like that, the barrel itself. How much for a barrel of cheese, though? Oh, a lot. That's the thing. That never fluctuate, although that's pretty solid.

That's never, no one's going to pay you to take cheese. People are always paying to take cheese. Solid or creamy. You've got to assume here as well, if we're looking at the sort of ecological impact of petrol, We've also got to consider the ecological impact of cheese Because cheese, you know, if we're talking cow cheese Cows produce an awful lot of CO2 and methane and all sorts of other nasty gases And I would have to assume using only logic of course

That the vacuum created by a world without petrol Would be filled with just more cheese And the cow population would perhaps quadruple or even a higher number that I can't think of that means multiply by a large number. And we're just going to suffer exactly the same consequences, but at the hands of cheese producing cows rather than hungry, hungry cars, you know. Yeah, I read an article the other day where if the cow population of the earth doubled, the ozone layer would in fact be replaced by the F-Zone layer, the Fart Zone layer.

And it would just be a green, smoggy cloud that would just be terrible. It would be apocalyptic for the world. Jesus. We're currently teetering on the edge of that So you know, got to be careful We've got to milk our cows more efficiently Wonderful Fuck

God Also, if in getting rid of petrel We get rid of all forms of petrol There's also a large group of Seabirds Known as Petrels Oh no We're going to lose the birds

Imagine the ecological effects If we got rid of petrels As well as Petril Yeah It could be disastrous I think cheese has got to go. Yeah.

Never thought I'd say this, but cheese is... I think cheese has got to go. If we got rid of petrol as well, we'd no longer have those have those sort of, what are they called, quite persuasive photos that make you feel really bad about penguins that have taken a dip in the oil,

you know? And seabirds that have taken a dip in the oil wouldn't have that anymore. Yes, so what you're saying is we need to keep getting birds covered in oil so that we feel bad about it and clean up the world. Absolutely. It keeps us in check. It keeps us in line. We need to keep dunking birds in oil and we wouldn't be able to do that. Can you imagine a bit? Have you seen

the photo of the cat that's dipped its face into the fondue, the cheese fondue found him? It's absolutely horrifying. I don't want that with birds. I'm quite happy with crude oil. Yeah. It will be a lot harder for David Attenborough to get us to clean up the oceans if he had to keep dipping penguins in cheese. Exactly. Exactly. I'm going to post it. I'm going to post that photo. I was just trying to find it, but if you could do it, that would be amazing. Yeah. I think we fixed it. We fixed it. We fixed it. We fixed it. Well, James, at Corrosion Audio, if given the choice of cheese or petrol, I think apparently we're choosing petrol. Hey, we made our case, we made our case pretty clear. We did, yeah. And I think

we can sleep easy tonight. Yeah. Ben, would you mind tweeting that from the account? It's very important. I have. It's done. It's done. Good. Thank you. I think it looks photoshopped I'm not saying it is but every time I see that it looks like the sort of lips have been pasted on the top It doesn't look like cat lips does it

It's weird It's so horrible And sorry to everyone who saw that And who's Sunday I've just ruined Oh dear I've got a thing here Yeah Now I wanted to do

Probably another Weirdcompetia As I mentioned one or two episodes ago I kind of stopped doing Weirdcompetia for a short time because lots of the remaining weird Wikipedia articles were just so chunky and so it's difficult to, you know, get through them in a podcast. But I was going to try and find another one to talk about. But then, literally while I was sitting on my phone looking for stuff, Amy was on BBC News and read this headline out to me and I said, okay, well, that is my thing for this

month. Are we ready? Yes. Men hired for sexual fantasy, break into wrong house. Oh no. Now, it's way worse than... That leaves out so many details that could really have clickbaited people into this article even more than that wording alone. There's so much to this story. I just feel immediately without any knowledge,

this poor person has finally felt brave enough in themselves to explore this fetish. And now we're going to joke about it on a podcast. We are. We are going to. And, you know, not to kink shame, but it's even more, let's say, unusual than I want people to break into my house. And that's the fantasy. I want people to sort of, you know, take advantage of me in my house.

There's a whole aspect to it that you will not be expecting. As Tom Jones said, it's not unusual to want people to break into your house to fulfill your sexual fantasies. No. Maybe part of the fantasy was having it leaked online. So everyone's talking about it. Maybe that's part of it. Well, the problem is that the police got involved, so that's how I ended up online. But here we go.

This is your third fetish. You're coming with us. In a sex fantasy gone wrong, two men with machetes entered the wrong house in New South Wales, Australia, before quickly realizing their error. One of them has now been acquitted of entering a home armed with a weapon in July 2019, Australian Media Report. They had been hired to carry out a client's fantasy of being tied up in his underwriting. and stroked with a broom. Oh, no. Oh, no. And then caught by police and then talked about online.

Yeah. Now, I don't want to put this in the, in the vidiates thread, because this will sort of give away the story before the episode goes out. But here we go. Oh, no. I'll send this this this picture. What could this be of? Oh, God.

It's just a... That caption. It's a Getty images. It's just a stock photo. A stock photo of someone sweeping up a tennis court and the caption saying, A broom was a key element in the fantasy. Oh my God.

I'm going to take a screenshot of just the bit where it says Getty images and post that and then it will have no context. Okay, fantastic. Right. Yeah, they've been hired to carry out a client's fantasy of being tied up in his underwear and stroked with a broom.

The judge concluded that the facts of the case are unusual. The role play was arranged over Facebook by a man near Griffith New South Wales who provided his address to hire the pair. He was willing to pay 5,000 Australian dollarie dues if it was really good, the judge said. I mean, on the part of the two men, that's not a good verbal agreement. No, it's not, is it? You want something a bit more concrete than that.

Yeah, can't quantify good brushing. However, the client moved to another address 30 miles away without updating the two men. What? They then entered a home on the street of the original address. When the resident noticed a light on in his kitchen at quarter past six in the morning, he assumed it was a friend who came by daily

to make morning coffee. What? Which is in itself quite strange. Psychopathic behaviour, but fine. When the men called out the name of the client, the resident turned on the light and removed a sleep apnea mask he was wearing. It was then that he saw them standing above his bed with machetes,

which they appeared to have brought us props for the role play. I wonder if one of them was holding a broom as well. That would be very confusing. You get tickled. When they realised their error, one of the pair said, sorry, mate, and shook the residence hand, according to local report. That's so violently Australian. Yeah.

The two men then drove to the correct address, where the client noticed one man had a great big knife in his trousers and asked them to leave the weapons in their car. The client then cooked bacon, eggs and noodles, and a short time later, the police arrived at the property, found the machetes in the car, and arrested the hired pair. The judge ruled that evidence did not suggest the men's actions were intentional. They carried the machetes either as a prop or something to use in that fantasy, he said.

The fantasy was unscripted, and there was discretion as to how it would be carried out. A lawyer for Terrence Leroy, one of the accused, said, it was a commercial agreement to tie up and stroke a semi-naked man in his underpants with a broom. Entry was not with intent to intimidate. Jesus Christ, that's it. Oh my fucking God, that is the most roller coaster of an article I've ever heard. So, you know, I'm sitting there looking for a thing. Amy reads that thing out to me while I'm looking and I was like, well, that's it.

That's the thing. That's it. what I like about that story is that it's no part of that is it does it seem sort of mean, spirited or nasty everything is explainable everybody, it was just a big misunderstanding he shook the guy's hand who he woke up so nice

imagine you're in your bed and you see two men like at the bottom of your bed holding machetes like you shit yourself and then they're just oh sorry mate shake your hand you'd still be an absolute shock. Yeah. And then if they continue to explain why they hear, oh sorry, got your house mixed up with someone who were doing a brushing fash for. I just, I don't know what, I wouldn't believe it. At what point though, during that, were the men standing over him, did they realize this is the wrong guy? Maybe they'd met him before or seen a, I guess they must have seen a

photo. And then when the light came on and he took his sleep apnea mask off, they went, oh, sorry. Okay, you're not the wrong guy. You're not the right guy. Yeah. Well, they just said to them, oh, we've got the wrong house and left out saying anything more. They couldn't be able to sleep for weeks. They should have just offered to give him the same service. Like, well, while we're here, you know,

you want to be brushed? Well, maybe when they went around to the actual client's house and had bacon, eggs and noodles after the event, they should have invited the previous guy around. Okay, I'm noodle shaming. Yeah. I'm noodle shaming. What the fuck is that breakfast?

I don't know. It sounds like it could be pretty good. You know, you get some instant noodles, flavored like chicken or something, and then you just sort of mix it all together and that would be quite a nice savoury breakfast, I think. Yeah, fair enough, fair enough. It's weird, though, it's unconventional.

I've never heard of it. Well, there you go, that's Australia for you. Still continuing to Australia down there. Brilliant. Thank you, Peter. That was amazing. You're welcome. That was truly incredible.

We've got a question here from Sikseos, the Uniformed Prick, it says. Okay. For each of you individually, what's a trait or habit or whatever, that you have, that you think the world would benefit from more people sharing with you. Oh, God. Oh, Christ. Okay.

So, I've sort of got an answer here, and, you know, there's no way for any of us to answer this question without sounding a little bit self-righteous. Like, hey, here's a thing that I do that everyone else should do in the world would be a better place. But I think that in lots of ways, and not in every sense, I'm sure, I think I'm a fairly considerate person. person, right? Yeah. So, you know, you two might, or anyone, listen to this, might think, oh, well, you're not considerate in the respect that you always do this annoying thing or whatever.

And yeah, all right, I'm not 100% considerate. But I tell you what I don't do. I don't fucking drop litter. Stop dropping litter, you twatts. I hate that. Stop doing that. I hate that. Me and Amy had the day off from work in the middle of the week, a couple of weeks back,

because we knew it was going to be a really sunny day, and I wanted to take some holiday at some point and we drove to this place in the middle of absolute nowhere just again as we always do up and more somewhere and we sat in these there's these big boulders just that have been deposited by i think a melting glacier like millions of years ago and it's a desolate place but there's just these boulders there and we went and sat there to have our lunch that we'd taken with us and when we got there the closer we got we started to just see the odd sort of wrapper of stuff and you know little bits of cardboard and then when we got to the boulders it was just full of empty cans and crisp packets and tissues I also see now a load of rubber gloves and masks and stuff just discarded all over the place yeah like it's the new

kind of litter yeah I've seen rubber gloves everywhere it's like what the fuck just put it in your pocket put it in a bin it's yeah especially in the centre of Bristol it's not like you're out in the middle of nowhere were no bins. There's literally a bin probably within 30 seconds walk from where you are right now. Stop being a shit. Yeah, definitely. And even if you're in somewhere, like, you know, like where I was, where obviously there aren't bins around, if you were able to carry a full can of beer, if you've got the strength in your arm to carry a full can of beer up to the rocks, you've certainly got the strength to carry it back to your car when it's empty, you know? Yeah. So, God, yeah, just think of other people a little bit, you know,

hold doors open for people or God, just don't drop litter, don't be a twat. I think that's what, you know, I'd like to think that I'm in, at least in that respect, a decent enough person. Very fair. Yeah.

I think I would want to give the world just like a little bit of editing skill, video editing skill, because I just think that if the world could like just create something from nothing, imagine the output, imagine what that would be. be like if like the time anyone has like a weird little idea rather than going out i can't really

make that bam they can now make it gets gets tweety gets put in the stratosphere and now the world is a buzz with these weird little videos and i think as a as the human race that's how we'll progress when everyone can put the weird ideas into some kind of manifestation yeah we all learn to understand each other a bit better it's true because you see these things that get put on the internet and you're like wow that's great but you have to think like the person who did that had to number one have the idea and number two have the skill to make it and you kind of think you need those two things together so all over the world there are people who are either having the ideas but don't have the skill to put it together or they've got really good

editing skills but they're not like particularly creative uh many want to see what just everyone comes out with because imagine a three-year-old suddenly with the skills to edit what would that look like yeah what memes does a baby see ben i'm also going to approach this from the same standpoint you did, Peter, which is not so much what's a quality I have, but more, why can't people be nice? Yeah. Just chew with your mouth closed.

Please. Oh, yeah. Please chew with your mouth closed. I don't think it's difficult. I know some people have difficulty breathing through their nose so that, you know, there are certain cases where it's just not possible, but some people just like, it's horrible. The sound, that sound is the word.

noise. It is the single worst noise on this planet and it's just disgusting. It makes me feel sick and I think it's just, I'm not one for being high and mighty, but I think in that case it's just like, where are your fucking manners? Who raised

you? Were you dragged up? Good God. When I live in my parents, my mom was a bit of a lip smacker. So who raised me? A lip smacker. I'm sorry. And it's weird. Like, I I assume most people get this,

but when you hear someone, you know, just like like eating all that really badly. It instills this weird rage in you where you just want to kill. It's like, fuck off. Yeah. I was lip smacked as a child and it never did me any harm.

Thank you, but you two eradicated some good things. Now I just gave the world fucking weird, the ability to do mean. You gifted the world with a bit more tools for shit posting. Yeah, creativity and shit. posting, yeah. I like it. Okay. It's time for a thing, Mikey. Oh, well. Do you want me to roll into it? Go for it. Yeah. Everybody get your fists up. It's time for a fight. Yes. Get them. This time we're making memes fight. Oh my gosh. Oh no. I've got in front of me. It's a selection of

memes. I realize when doing these, we do this to find out the best X or the best Y. It's just the best of the pool because I'm sure everyone's got a favourite meme that won't be included in this list but I've got one, two, 12 memes in front of me I've gone for like a range of recent oldish ones

and we're gonna make them fight to find the superior one of the lot. Excellent. Our first round consists of Harambe versus Doge. It's got to be Harambe all the way. Harambe all the way. I think it's Harambe.

Yeah, good. I'm glad you're all agreed in that because Dick's out. It's just, it's amazing. It's, oh, it's an actual event that happened. A poor child was locked in an enclosure with a gorilla. The gorilla protected the child and it, they all live to be memed. And I think that's, that's, that's, that's poetry.

Doge is just a bit, I don't know. Well, they didn't all live to be memed. That's part of the problem. Yeah. Oh my God. I forgot, I forgot about that. How did you forget about our Lord and Savior like that? I forgot the whole point of the meme.

Oh my God. Rest and peace of Rambi is shit. It's all flooding back to me now. Yeah, I wish the kid had died, right? Yeah. The one thing I like about Doge, and this sort of happened to me without, I don't think I was aware of Doge at the time. And I was, when I went to uni, there were a couple of friends that I hung out with who were a bit meamy, but not so, you know, there's a bit of irony there. It was okay.

It wasn't, it wasn't cringy that they were into memes. And at one point, one of them said the word, was referring to the word slug, but pronounced it sluge um okay and i thought that was funny and i still do that now any words that ends ends with the g well not any word but quite often we'll be doing a worse game or whatever i'll be like oh look it's leaving a little sluge juice or whatever um i only realized afterwards that the reason they'd come up with the the sort of format or template of words ending in g are a j sound was because of doge um but apart from that i don't i don't like the doge meme and the sort of wow very very much so whatever you know that i don't dig that at all but

i just like the the j i mean i'm only in it for the juz yeah i'll take that you and transpose the the the buildup of the word to other words that's fine yeah but that's different to the meme but harambe harambe wins for sure yeah definitely right we're going for a local homegrown hero here we've got garlic and chips up against international National Superstar Titan Rick Rowling Oh So we've got

Our own personal Little cute meme Versus what is arguably A Juggernaut A Titan It really is up there Isn't it? Like, you know

I love Michael Jugsson But at the same time If we got If we didn't let Rick roll Through It's a bit like saying It's bit like getting rid Of Citizen Kane

Or like You know Michelangelo's David or something like that. It's difficult to justify. I feel like to add some extra stakes to this, every meme we don't choose will be wiped from history. Oh, God.

So I think just otherwise, because we prefer, you know, garlic and chips because it's a bit funny to us. But then that means the world never had Rick Rowling. You know, something like that. We're going to go all in, so every meme is going to be, every meme is going to be taken away from us. I would argue that Rick Rowling has not done anything beneficial for mankind. I don't think I've ever laughed at Rick Rowling.

I think it's always just been, ah, classic. It's just an institution. But honestly, garlic and chips has brought me so much happiness. Yeah. And I can honestly say that Rick Rowling has not. And it's not brought me sadness or frustration. It's just I feel indifferent about Rick Rowling. I was just like, yep, there's the video.

I totally agree. I think it's by certain definitions a classic But it's you know I don't like it in any way I don't I don't hate it but I don't like it So I honestly would save garlic and chips on balance Michael Jugsson takes on Nick Astley and wins What a day I fucking did

I fucking did yeah It's a one minute video And yet you can quote every line from it Like every line can be taken out of context and it's art. Yeah. Right, the next fight is 1960 Spider-Man

versus Hide the Pain Harold. Oh, both strong. So 1960 Spider-Man, as you know, is, you know, stills from the old 1960s cartoon like Spider-Man sat behind the desks, Spider-Man pointing at himself.

Pointing at himself, yeah. I mean, I... Hide the Pain, Harold, is that stock photo guy who always looks like he's in pain. They tracked down, right? They tracked him down, and now he's self-aware.

I can't say I've ever really gotten any thing from the Hide the Pain Harold thing. I think it's funny like the journey of finding him and stuff

but again I feel no personal affinity for that meme whereas the Spider-Man one very versatile lots of

stills that can be used you know great quotes I feel like the the pointing at one is

you know where he's pointing at himself that is that is such a good meme template and is used all the time

in brilliant ways that I don't think we could be without it yeah that's very good point yeah

I don't actually feel very strongly about either So I think whoever these come up against going forward, I'm not going to vote for either of them. But right now, yeah, I think I would save Spider-Man. Yeah, I think Hyderpin Harold was fun for a bit. And then, yeah, because now there was a period where I saw him doing, like, advertisements on Facebook

where he was, like, advertising some kind of, like, student discount card. It was him getting his hair cut and buying some sick creps with these discount cards. And he's like, oh, the meme, the memes, the memes got. mainstream. I mean, good for him. Make that money. Who'd have expected posing for a stock photo? But yeah, at the same time, whatever. Not fuss. Whatever. 1960 Spider-Man, it's got hot. Yeah. Right, next round. Shrek versus John Sina. Oh, God, it's got to be Shrek, isn't it?

I think so, because Shrek has a whole load of stuff attached to it. I think without Shrek, there wouldn't be the smash-mouth memes. True, true. The John Sina meme is dead as well. well, I would say, and his name is John Sina. That one, that one had its moment. It was a good moment, though. And it's also, in a way, it's a bit of a Rickroll. Yeah, it is. In itself, it's just kind of, oh, tricked you, you know, you didn't expect surprise, and he got louder and louder each time, so deaf and you. Yeah.

I think, yeah, Shrek has, um, it's evolved in so many ways. There's, um, there's a film that was released a couple years ago, um, where, like a bunch of artists were given, like, a small segment of Shrek to animate and then they put them all together and basically recreated Shrek and it's beautiful and I think anything that kind of creates that kind of sense of like yeah let's make something with this this source material is is worth saving in my book I agree yeah for now at least oh rest in peace John Zena and in a similar vein we've got smash mouth All-Star or don't talk to me or my son ever again oh god I'm I'm only really aware of...

Is there a visual aspect to don't talk to me and my son ever again? Or is it just the phrase? So usually it's... Well, let me find, don't talk to me and my son again. Meme, don't talk. Because I think it's better to see it

than to explain it. Right, because I only... Oh my God. So it's usually a big thing accompanied by a Photoshop small version of it. Or, yeah. Right. That versus Smashmouth All-Star.

I do like, don't talk to me and my son ever again. it's just kind of like this little shitty shitpost meme yeah i don't think i was necessarily aware of that aspect to it i like that that's a good one that you i'll have to add that to the thread now but yeah um but i mean smash i look the thing is i really like um when people do there's this whole you might not even be aware of this on sound cloud in particular there's this thing called sound clown which is yeah boy it's kind of like it's basically what neosisoriga does but Loads of people are doing it on SoundCloud,

which is sort of very memey remixes of stuff. And there are these things called like the meme epic mega mix, where it's really overstimulating and it's absolutely full of stuff that's like slightly clashing but also quite masterfully mixed together. And there's all these little snippets of things. And invariably, there's loads of smash mouth, like there is in Nielsisariga.

Well, yeah, like, the first Neil Cicerega remix album was just entirely Smash Mouth. Yeah. It was just Smash Mouse mixed with the things, and then it spawned two albums from that, and it's art. I think there's some parts of the tracks where, like, you can hear almost like a kind of wind, like a wind, like a wind, like a wind, like a wind, I think people like found out if you cut all those wind bits out and squash them down, it's like a line from Smash Mouth. It's, it's intrusive in every bit of the album, and, oh, I love Neil Sissariga, he's a good boy. Yeah, so good. I think I'd have to save Smash Mound. Yeah, I'm going with Smash Mouth.

That's fair. I agree. And the final air of the initial round is press F to pay respects or steamed hams. Oh, God. I think this is a tough one for me because F, I don't know, that that is, that's a, that's not what, 2011 when Call the Duty came out? Mm-hmm, yeah. And that is, that is still, everyone knows about that, everyone does it. They might not know the origin, but it's permeated to a massive popular culture.

I loved steamed hams Really really enjoyed it for that sort of two or three months That it was super popular I can't have press F I can't not have the everybody F in the chat I can't not have that I need I need to pay F respects F respects to pay

Yeah I think I agree like steamed hams It's really good It's like wow look at all this cool stuff that's being made But it's got no daily use to me But F in the chat It's an essential service It's a key word

It is, yeah Alright, rest and peace steamed hams Right, okay We're gonna do two Three-way battles And then we'll be down to our final two Okay

So, round one Harambe Garlic and Chips On 1960s Spider-Man Fuck Harambe It's got to be Harambe Oh, what?

Do you think? It's so, I think it's just still so Almost, I mean it was always ironic, obviously No one really gives a shit about this gorilla, but like, it's still just so ironically funny to me to bring up Harambe because nobody talks about Harambe anymore. And I don't know why I personally still think that's really funny. Yeah, I think whenever I, like, because it's not often you hear it now,

but when I see a Harambe reference, it just sideswipes me and it's fucking amazing. Yeah. And that and all of the tribute memes, you know, Harambe up in clowns with little angel wings, it's art. When you see it these days, because it's so much rarer. it's usually sort of presented from the standpoint of oh did you forget about your boy and it's just harambe

peering out and it's like I did forget about my boy oh no oh no I love to see it I love to see the harambe I mean the thing is

I don't disagree with any of that but I think personally and I might be outvoted but I just love garlic and chips too much it's so much so that you get an extra 50s worth. Yeah.

Honestly, I would. If it was just me, I would save garlic and chips in that, in that bracket. Right, let me think about this. Let me, let me, oh,

was Harambe. You guys. There's a wide, yeah. See, Harambe is widespread that's good because, you know, everyone can enjoy it.

It's a meme that you can share. Garlic and chips, it's very personal to us. It's our meme. We did it. We made, well, we made it a meme for a small audience of people.

Small audience of lovely people. Yeah. Yeah, I fucking did. But I think Herambi is more important. You can't let him be forgotten. Exactly. Yeah. Be never made in the first place.

Then everyone will forget our boy. Maybe getting rid of the meme would be the kind of thing because then Harambe wouldn't have been killed. Oh, well. Well, he would have died. We just wouldn't know. Oh, that's true. Oh, okay.

Harambe. I'll be happy with any of these, by the way. I just, for me, it's got to be Harambe. Fair enough. I think, well, between garlic and chips and harambi, I'm going to side on the big gorilla. May he rest in peace. No problem.

Right. The other semi-final, Shrek, Smash Mouth All-Star, or Press F at Peer respects. Oh, that's a really hard one. Musical contributions of Smash Mouse, though. I feel like, as much as I love Shrek memes, they are, they're synonymous with Smash Mouse.

And I feel like there is no Shrek meme without Smash Mouse being so iconic. True. So I feel like in my own mind, I can almost just push Shrek memes to one side because we can have Smash Mouth All-Star because they're synonymous. They're the same.

I can still have sort of Shrek memes but through Smash-Mouth. Yeah, that's true. And then it's just between F and Shm-I'm going to say Shmash-Mouth. Shmish-Moof. Are you? See, I wanted to say, like, if my favorite would be Smash-Mouth,

and then I thought, oh, but again, you know, is F like a key? worker, as it were, like, should I do the right thing and let F survive, even though I prefer smash mouth? Oh, fuck. I don't know. Oh, God, this is one of the hardest ones I've ever done. We got rid of the first round

and now it's like, fuck, what do we do? Hmm. I think, I don't know, press F to peer respects, it's good, but I don't think it's, it's, I don't think it's had much cultural impact. Yeah, I think I'm leaning to smash mouth, really. Yeah, it's permeated, but it's not, it's not influenced. That's cool.

Let's go with that. Okay, let's say Smashmouth. Oh, Christ. This final. Right. This is it. This is the final round. Harambe versus Smashmouth All-Star.

Are you going to go for a fallen hero or a titan of the music industry? I think I want to say Smashmouth personally. But again, I could quite happily let Harambe win. He's a gorilla. You could win anyway. He'll fuck you up. Yeah, you will fuck up the song, Smashmouth. I'm going to say.

say smash mouth. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like we've done Harambea service by putting him into the final. We've made our thoughts and prayers very apparent

on that topic. But smash mouse is powerful. Yeah. We partly love, we love that Neil Sisk too much, I think. Yes.

Yeah, I mean, I guess if there wasn't Smash Mouth, there might have been another song that started it, but I think Smash Mound is, it's just,

it's just genuinely quite a good song. It's beyond the memey Polyles, this is nice. Smashmouth are actually a pretty fun band and I'd hate to see them disappear from the earth. So Smashmouth is the ultimate meme of the 12 I selected. Wow. Hey now. You're an all-star. Truly an all-star. You are the all-list star. Yeah. I've heard that that song was written about Harambe. Really? Oh my God. Yeah. Before it happens. Before his death. Yeah. They knew. Yeah, they knew one day this gorilla is going to mean something to the world.

It's a conspiracy. Are you saying that All Star, that Smash Mouth threw the boy into the gorilla pit? I'm saying that SmashMouth smashassinated him. Right. Yeah. Well, thank you very much, boys, for making memes slapfists with me. Thank you, Michael. Well, thank you for your thing, Mikey.

And we've got one final submission from the audience here. Aaron Starling at Tubsy 23 has effectively brought his own a thing along Because although this is a question It's only really been framed as a question So that he could bring something along But I couldn't not let this be in our podcast So Aaron Starling says Are you aware of the fact that the Democracy Manifest man

Has released a wine called Get Your Hand Off My Pino? No, he has not. Right. Now, I've done some research. There is a whole website called Mr.Democracymanifest.com. I will paste it into Discord. Okay, before you go any further,

please give us a brief rundown of this legend. Right, well, I've got it on my phone ready to play, actually. Oh, nice. Okay. Who don't know who he is. Is this really his website? This is him, is it?

This is him? because there is recent footage of him. We'll get into all this in just a moment. What? Right, here we go. Gentlemen, this is Democracy Manifest. Have a look at the headlock here. See that chap over there?

Get your hand off my penis! This is the bloke who got me on the penis before. Get some cuffs. Why did you do this? Popping the car. For what reason? What is the charge? Eating a meal?

A succulent Chinese meal. Oh, that's some nice headlock, sir. Oh, yes. I see that you know your judo well. Good one. And you, sir, are you waiting to receive my limp penis? How to get your hand, you? Tata and farewell.

So, I guess, get to get him out of that. Tata and farewell. So that man is the story. he goes, that he went into a Chinese restaurant for a succulent Chinese meal, refused to pay, and that this was something that he frequently did.

So the restaurant called the police and he got arrested for it. And that is the recording of him being arrested. Oh my God. Now there's a website because again I think he's become self-aware and he's clearly being managed by some sort of talent manager who

they've written this website introduction. Would you like to know the real truth of the man who said these oft-meamed words a succulent Chinese meal get your hand off my penis this is Democracy Manifest I see you know your judo well

Here it is Jack is still with us Jack will tell his story Jack wants the truth to come out and no he was not a chef He was not from Norway His name is not Paul Charles Dozer He was not a chess grandmaster

And he is most definitely still alive Sorry to all you journos who reported this so very, very wrongly. Stay tuned. Jack, the real legendary man from that video of his arrest we all know love and use in memes will tell his story soon.

This will be even bigger than his arrest video all those years ago. Would you like to book an interview with Mr. Democracy Manifest? Yes. He can contact Jack's agent with your details and offer. Succulent Chinese meals aren't cheap, it says.

So there's all that, and then on this website, there is a music video for a song called Dine and Dash by a band called The Chats. Oh my God. And it's them singing their song, and right at the end, they have got Jack, the Democracy Manifest Man to do a whole bit at the end of their music video. They're in a steakhouse. They run off without paying. Democracy Manifest Man comes out of the restaurant to shout at the police who are chasing the chats and then he starts getting arrested.

And it's him and this is what he says. Democracy Manifest. God, you've done it. You've done Judeo before, haven't you? Magnificantly so. Look at your head, you don't even know where we are, you fool. Right, yes. There we go.

So that's it He's recreated His moment And I'll send you For later viewing Which I'm sure you'll want to see Okay There's a store

He's selling t-shirts Mugs And Get Your Hands Off My Pino Limited Edition Have a drink This succulent Victorian Pino is made with freshness as the main focus.

Bright red fruits that know their judo well. God. Fine tannins that put the wine in a gentle headlock with a long finish. So there he is. That's fucking how. That's what's happened. I have some news. Yeah.

Oh. I tried to buy some pinot. Right. But it doesn't deliver outside of Australia. Fuck. Oh. I have now bought a judo academy stubby. Right?

It says Democracy Manifest, world-class judo academy on it, and on the back it says, Get Your Hand Off My Penus. That's amazing. I'm just looking at the store now, and this is magic. It cost me £20 with international shipping.
