Boys, we start 2021 with a very world-shattering Twitter suspension.
Lorraine from the London area has been suspended from Twitter.
Seriously?
I was joking, but I was...
I went to check in her the other day, and unfortunately she's been wiped from the platform,
which I think is a disgrace.
We're going to storm the capital and get her back.
The capital of what?
Twitter.
Just the capital T.
Twitter.
All right.
The thing is, do you think this means, so Donald Trump obviously had his own personal
Twitter account suspended.
Then when he tried to tweet from at POTUS,
like the official POTUS account,
they were like deleting those tweets.
They've not like properly suspended the account, I don't think,
because it gets passed on.
but does that mean they've
you know so they're trying to stop him
on all of his channels on Twitter
have they also deleted Lorraine
from the London area because it turns out
oh my God
the man behind Lorraine all along
was Donald himself
this conspiracy runs really
really deep doesn't it
oh my God I'll have to research us a bit more
I'm sure there's a I'm sure I can find many
many tangible connections between
Lorraine and Trump
mainly an affliction for
the YogCon
but that's not all
that's not the worst news of 2021
I don't know how to say this
but Bobby Babyloni's website
is now completely offline
Oh my God
I thought you were going to say she died
This is worse arguably
Her work is gone forever
Because
She ran her website on Flash
Oh no
No
Bobby
Bobby what the fuck Bobby
all of the videos
the VCU's
dropping like flies
we've got cherish everything while you can
we don't have long with them
really like two weeks in
fuck surely is it on
is it on like the way back machine
can we visit it through the power of the internet
you know oh that's a good point
I didn't try and dig any further
I just saw like an error 404
and I was too busy crying to bother anything else
I've just googled her
because I thought maybe she's got a Twitter
maybe she's got some way to communicate
There's a fake Twitter account
that just says
the description is having a party
then pump it up with balloon creations by
Babylonie. Awesome balloon animals and more twisted
and more, awesome balloon animals and more
no comma twisted to the amazement of your guests
and there's two tweets
one is hi Evelyn it's Bobby Babylonie
and the other one is a video
which is her jingle
that's it and it's got five followers and no profile photo
so I don't think that's her.
Oh, man.
Well, at least we, I mean, we read it out.
We read out most of it a couple of episodes ago.
So it's been preserved in audio form, if nothing else.
But, you know, I miss Sponge Man and Red Spider-Hero.
Spider-Bloak.
One of my favorites.
Past week.
Shit.
That's so weird.
I'm sorry for opening everything on a Dow.
how we'll move on from this, to be honest. It's a hit. I'm desperately trying to find her. I'm trying
to track her down. I've just searched Bobby Babylonie with the search results being the past week.
Only two hits on Google. One of them is from funnyjunk.com under funny pictures, and the title
is, it's fucking working. And the description is added by Block Rocker at Bobby at Bobby Babylon. I don't
know what that means. What does that mean? There's a Bobby Babylonini who's a chef at McDonald's in Ipswich,
Well, that's what she's doing now
because her website's been shut down.
I've got no portfolio.
She's a chef at McDonald's.
Maybe she's doing an amazing thing
with chicken nuggets and the fries.
Yeah, if you're having a part A,
just call Babylonie.
She'll get you 20 nugs and
bring nuggets to you, yeah.
It's a pretty good, pretty good tilt, though.
I'd take that.
I think we could probably reconstruct the website
because I think through WhatsApp and Discord,
we've sent each of the most of the screenshots
from that website.
So that'll be my new project.
This is what you're going to be working on in like 3 a.m.
What was her website again?
Oh, it's like Babyloni World.
Oh, God.
Babyloni.com.
Babyloni.com.
Is it two Bs in Babylonie or one?
It's one B.
One B.
Okay, let's have a look.
Way back machine.
Don't let us down.
Please.
This is an important.
We've got a lot of hits.
We've got a lot of hits.
Yeah.
Some from the end of 2020, 7th of December.
There's a snapshot.
I'm loading it.
It's thinking about it.
I wonder if it'll be able to sort of estimate or approximate Flash.
Yeah, it's here.
We got it.
Really?
Oh, fantastic.
Okay, well, we need to save this while we can.
So Wave Back Machine has clearly implemented something that allows it to get around.
The fact that Flash isn't supported.
It doesn't work fundamentally because it says Adobe Flash player is blocked.
But it is there.
Sort of
Error loading
Twisted creations
That's what we really want
To still be around
Can
Oh no
The image
Collection of the
Twisted creations
Does not load
Oh fuck
Oh no
Oh I fucking hate
This year
Wow I didn't
Never realise there was a guest book
Actually
Oh no I didn't either
What are her rates too
I don't think we looked at those
Oh my god
Bobby was absolutely wonderful
all the way leading up to the day of my twin daughter's birthday party.
She's professional, kind, talented, and most importantly,
the children and parents loved her and her beautiful balloon designs.
Aw.
Do you reckon she's still, like, active, you know, she's still working?
Because this was all copyrighted in 2018,
according to the website,
and I don't know if she's, like, still doing balloon animals and stuff.
There's an email and her phone number there.
Oh, my God.
What I'm wondering is if she would,
if she, because it's quite clear that we are sort of ironically big fans of her, you know,
we love her, but if we were to, say, contact her and say, hey, would you do like a Zoom session
for us and maybe do some balloon animals over Zoom, how much would that cost? Do you reckon she
would see right through that and think, no, because these guys are just taking the piss out of
my craft? Or do you reckon she would be in on it and think, actually, yeah, this would be really fun,
and I'll make some money off it at the same time.
I think that's a brilliant idea.
I like to think she'd just be like, oh, it's been horrible.
This is, with COVID and everything.
It's nice to have some work.
Let's do a virtual balloon session.
Yeah.
Could we get her on like a vidiates stream or something
and just have her make some balloon animals for us?
That sounds great.
I really love this comment from September 26th, 2016.
I love the balloons that Bobby, and then in brackets it says,
Babaloonie.
made at my daughter's birthday party.
Her creations are so good
and the kids just loved watching her make them.
I can't wait to have another party
and have Babylonie come to put smiles on the kids' faces again.
Oh.
Oh, no.
Jillian said at June 8th, 2012,
my daughter's party is on Saturday, June 23rd at 2pm,
and we would love to have you there.
I hope that request went answered.
These are all from 26.
There's only one from 2018 on this guest book.
There are pages and pages,
but they were largely,
recently from 2016.
It looks like we could have just signed the guest book,
like at any point,
apart from the fact that apparently the capture version she was using
was also shutting down.
I like the fact that her email is Babylonie won at.
Because the original Babylonian was already taken by, you know,
Bobbitt Babylonie.
Yes.
Yeah, absolutely.
Oh, man.
Well, my day's ruined.
Thanks, Mike.
cool. Yeah, what are we to start the year?
Jeez.
Nice one, son's crying.
Hello, everybody, and welcome to Poddiet's the official.
Official.
Midiates podcast.
It's a conversational podcast where we take some questions from you at home and obey the law of the three us,
where everybody brings a thing alone to talk about.
I'm Ben.
I'm Peter.
And I'm Michael.
We made it to the new year, boys.
We are here.
It's happening.
This is, let's see,
2018, 2019.
This is year four.
We're coming into year four of Poddietz now.
Really? Oh my God.
I never thought about it.
Oh my God, that's a terrifying number.
It's not yet the third anniversary of Poddietz,
but it is the fourth year.
Enter the fourth year of it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So what a, what,
time to be alive. Welcome to lockdown three everybody. We will be your your chaperones through
this weird continuation of a weird time. But we cannot be held responsible for what happens to you
if you shut yourself in your house for several weeks or months and listen to nothing but potty.
Yes. Goodness knows what will come out of the other side. It'll be beautiful. Could be awful. Who
knows? Find out. Absolutely. Absolutely. And so this is a sort of
of question and answer podcast.
If you're tuning in for the first time,
I feel like this is the first time I've ever done that,
sort of given a synopsis of what we actually do here.
We talk about weird things we found on the internet.
And we take some questions from people
about bizarre and surreal things.
And as I said, yeah, each of us brings one thing
to the podcast to sort of show and tell
and talk about each episode.
If you wanted to support the strange and wonderful things
that we do here every fortnight on Podietz,
then you can do by going to stream.

Would you like one from Duncan Wilson

I'll have got a dunking Wilson right here
I'll DM you my Wilson
Deep inside
Oh yeah
Saw Beauty in the Beast on Christmas telly
So if you'd been working in the castle
At the time of the curse
What household object do you think
You'd have been transformed into?
Oh man, that's a great question
What's the rule?
Is it something that you interact with often?
Yeah, I can't remember the law of that film
What was the lesson that was learned?
I was hoping you'd do that
Because I'd never seen it
So I assume it's just a random object
Wait, no, but I literally don't even know
What the characters are
I know there's a teapot, there's a candle, there's a clock
but I don't know if, you know, the clockmaster got turned into the clock
and the candlelighter.
Is the clockmaster a thing?
No, it's made up.
You know, the tea master got turned in, or mistress, got turned into a teapot.
I don't know if that's how it works or if it's just anything that happens to be in the castle.
Maybe it's just something they worked with a lot slash cleaned a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What do you clean a lot in the house?
I'd get turned into my own.
BOM.
The noises you make wouldn't be any different, would they?
Oh, God, you.
As high brow as ever.
It's really good, isn't it?
2021.
We're nailing it.
Absolutely nailing it.
Shit, I don't know, because everyone turned into really boring things.
And I don't feel like there's anything really funny that we could turn into if we don't bend the rules slightly.
I would just like to be...
Oh, that'd be good.
You got a guilty in anywhere?
well in the castle maybe is it in our house in our own houses no no you're right if you'd been
working in the castle at the time of the curse i was about to say a henry hoover well in which case
sure that doesn't exist there god okay well what do they have in a castle henry hoover looks
like he's already he he's like someone who was working in the castle with a regular hoover
and then the curse happened and he became henry that's one of the many henry's king of kings of
England there.
Yeah, it's the second one, wasn't it?
There's a little king in every Henry.
Aw.
A royal suck.
Oh, very...
With two Cs.
Suck.
Shit.
So we're limiting ourselves to what would have been in the beauty and the beast
castle, are we?
Yeah.
Period appropriate.
I wouldn't mind getting turned into Emma Watson.
Oh.
That'd be all right.
A talented actress.
absolutely someone who fights for rights and uh you know well well course corrected there yeah
very honorable would you carry on her traditions or would you like to put her on a path of naughtiness
i'd i'd um i'd certainly i mean i wouldn't stop saying hey everyone should have equal rights
but maybe i'd also start campaigning for a reboot of the harry potter movies and say i should
still be casting it as Hermione or as maybe a teacher or something so that I can make even more
money.
There we can't.
I think you should also start campaigning beyond the honourable stuff, not for dishonourable stuff,
but just like just a couple of like really fucking weird things.
Just weird stuff like hey.
Just really weird things.
I think they should do five chicken nuggets in a happy meal because then.
You know what's so weird.
That is the exact same thing I was thinking.
That is weird.
That's very, that's one of the weirdest things.
that's ever happened.
Is that a sign that that's important then?
Maybe.
I don't know.
I just thought what's the most mundane thing?
Ah yes, the number of mcnuggets.
What the hell?
That's really weird.
I think I want to become a suit of armour in the castle
so that I can almost be like a parasitic host
of whichever body gets into me.
I can use it to escape the castle
and like I'll just take the whoever step,
set into this suit of armour on a wild ride across England as the rip and tear through
villages. You'll just occasionally like open up the visor and their face will be inside saying
please help me. I can't get out of here. I can't control myself. Stop him. Stop it. Eventually it's
a spooky skeleton. Spooky skeleton rattling around in your in your metal shell. Yeah.
And that's where the enemies come from in Skyrim. That's what a horrific horror spin-off of Beauty
and the beast.
Beauty and the beast.
Oh dear.
It's the beauty and the beast based on something.
It is right.
Yeah, it's a French fairy tale.
I was going to say, I thought it was France that it was set in.
Oh, we're going for French items.
Well, no, not necessarily.
I was just wondering generally where it was set.
I honestly, I don't know.
I don't know what I would be in the house.
I'm having a little difficulty.
What about a butter knife?
And then you could be used to spread lovely hot warm butter on toast.
that's something you'd be into or? I don't know.
It's one of my life's aspirations.
That would be used to spread butter.
I don't know how I feel about that.
Actually, you know what?
There is some wordplay looking at this Wikipedia article.
So, Jerry Orbach played, of course, Lumiere, who is the kind-hearted but rebellious,
French-accented matri-D of the Beast's Castle, who has been transformed into a
candelabra, which is sort of like a morbid play on his name, I'm assuming.
Oh, so he was called Lumierre.
Before he became a candelabra.
Yes.
Oh, okay.
So I would probably be some kind of vase.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
What would I be then?
I'm trying to think what loosely sounds like my name.
Egg beater, Austin.
Maybe you'd be some kind of a surname, isn't it, specifically?
Some kind of tin flagam.
A tin where you keep your ass.
Yes, the arse tin.
The arse tin.
the arse
it's like a metal thing
where the toilet roll is kept
it's funny because I started out saying
I'd turn into my own ass
and now here I am saying that
yeah I'd be a toilet roll holder
Perfect
I think we smashed that one didn't we
Easy, easy, easy
Do another one
Another one, another one
Go on give us another one
This one comes from
Harvey Latham
At Mr Latham 97 on Twitter
if you could ride an animal like a horse
but make them horse sized
what animal would it be and where would you ride it to
I'd make a cat size
a cat horse size and give it catnip
so you know that cat's going to go
be going to go
going to be mental and I'd probably take it
to Silverston race track and do laps
Whoa Jesus what a journey
That was that cat is going to kill you
I'm just like taking it to a car race track
and not a horse race track
I think that's great
That's a good point
might be the ultimate animal to ride
I'm going to try and avoid the obvious ferret
I don't think they'd be good to ride
they'd just be so long if they were horse-sized
they would be really really long wouldn't they
oh my god that should be like a limousine wouldn't it
would everyone could get on the
I'd like to ride on the back of
a very very large horse-sized chimpanzee
because it would be able to swing through trees
while I was riding on its back
I guess it would just be like King Kong
except I'd be on its back instead of in its hand
yeah that'd be terrifying but I love it I'm here for it
Prince Kong
I'd love a giant swan
to get around wow that's very fairy taley
yeah I just just thought how royal would that be
shitty the queen couldn't help but notice me at that point
my Mike he's out about riding like my giant swan
that's yeah that's it belongs to me
and there'd just be a massive battle for who owns the swans in England
and obviously I'd win with my massive swan
it'd be a golden era for swans across england swans rise up am i right yeah hashtag
something didn't think of a hashtag before i said the word hashtag that's is embarrassing
um so i'm thinking again i'm probably applying a bit too much logic to it and i'm trying
to think of an animal that could be trained sufficiently enough that it wouldn't just kill you
when it was bigger you know cat that's going to kill you chimpanzee peter that thing's going to rip you in half
Oh, I know.
You can't get that thing trained.
I'm there for the ride, that's all.
The very short ride.
Yeah.
Where your legs get ripped from the rest of your body.
So I'm thinking giant chicken.
Now, is it a little inspired by a chocobo from Final Fantasy?
Maybe.
But I know that those bad boys can run far, well, girls, really.
Those bad girls can run fast.
They can't really fly.
They can sort of flutter a bit, which could provide a tactical advantage to get over, you know,
all the fences that I'm front.
frequently climbing.
And, you know, they're simple creatures.
They're stupid, but they won't hurt you, really.
Yeah.
They will lay food, big food.
Big food.
Big old eggs.
Imagine the eggs.
And I just think, I want to put a little saddle on a big chicken and ride it.
Mm-hmm.
I like it.
I think, yeah, that's a beautiful idea.
I'm just Googling chicken saddle.
Oh, you can get them
Because I've bought them for my aunt
Who owns chickens
Of course, that's where I'm
You just sort of strap it round
And then they run around
And they've got a little saddle on their back
And everyone who walks past goes
Ha ha
I wonder who that's for
Who that sounds for
Oh, that's amazing
I knew I heard it somewhere
And of course
I'm just going to add
A chicken saddle to the thread
There be cool
Have you seen the chicken arms
You can buy as well
Yeah, the chicken arms
are great.
They're doll arms with like a wire between them and they sort of slot over the back of the chicken
and they run around with little, stop clenching your fists.
They run around with little fists.
That's going in the thread as well.
That's beautiful.
It's kind of terrifying because it look like little chubby baby arms.
They're like, what has God, what has God done?
Oh, what's God done?
God's great masterpiece.
It's peak performance is what that is.
I'm just thinking.
I would maybe quite like to have a, um, uh,
a fox-sized horse
and then I would ride on the back of the fox
and then I would hunt down fox hunters
on it. Oh, that is poetic.
That's brilliant, yeah.
Such justice.
I like that.
And they're essentially big cats as well
so they will just sort of like roll around
with you on their back and crush you from time to time.
Yeah, it would definitely, again, it would eat me for sure.
But that's okay.
You'd probably last longer than a chimp.
Yeah, probably a little longer.
It would be a long drawn out death
rather than being ripped in half immediately.
Yeah, you'd be toyed with, yeah.
That'd be nice.
Yeah, that's the way I want to go.
All right, should we start with a thing?
Yes, why not?
Who would like to go first?
Well, I've got a thing.
Cool, dude.
I would love to hear your thing.
I'm a bit worried.
Because there is a very good chance that you guys,
at least one of you, if not both of you,
has brought this thing along if you've seen it.
Oh, no, see, that puts the fear of God into me
because I've had exactly the same thought about mine.
It's going to happen.
16 episodes has finally happened.
Yeah, I've got an article here from The Guardian.
Denmark launches children's TV show about man with giant penis.
Oh, no, it is that one.
Oh, no!
Okay.
So what?
Have you got the Guardian?
an article there?
No, I've got a different article.
Have you watched an episode?
No, I did not dare.
Okay, so right, I've watched an episode.
Maybe do you want to do the article and I'll talk about my first-hand experience with the penis show.
Okay, it's a back-to-back thing here.
Excellent.
Brilliant.
Pretend I didn't say anything.
Read the headline again.
Right.
Denmark launches children's TV show about man,
with giant penis.
What?
Yeah.
Beautiful.
Critics condemn idea of animated series about a man who cannot control his penis, but others
have backed it.
This is according to Helen Russell at The Guardian.
Here we go then.
John Dillamond, I'm assuming that's how it's pronounced, has an extraordinary penis.
So extraordinary, in fact, that it can perform rescue operations, etch murals, hoisting
hoist a flag, and even steal ice cream from children.
No!
The Danish equivalent of the BBC, DR, has a new...
That's, okay, yeah, that's similar to the image that I've got, but not that.
Wow, that's really something.
He's playing...
Okay, I won't even say what...
He's...
So, is the new animated series aimed at four to eight-year-olds about John Dillamond,
the man with the world's longest penis
who overcomes hardships and challenges
with his record-breaking genitals.
What a write-up this is.
Unsurprisingly, the series has provoked debate
about what good children's television should
and should not contain.
Since premiering on Saturday,
opponents have condemned the idea
of a man who cannot control his penis.
Is this really the message
we want to send to children
while we are in the middle of a huge hashtag me
Wave wrote the Danish author
Annalise Marstrand
Jorgensen
The show comes just months
after the TV presenter
Sophie Linda
kickstarted Denmark's
hashtag Me Too movement
Christian
Gros
an associate professor
and gender researcher
at Roskilde University
said he believed
the program's celebration
of the power of male
genitalia could only set
equality back
it's perpetuating the standard
the standard idea of a patriarchal society
and normalizing locker room culture
that has been used to excuse a lot of bad behavior from men.
It's meant to be funny, so it's seen as harmless,
but it's not, and we're teaching this to our kids.
Man.
I did find this myself, and I did watch a bit of the episode,
and it's just amazing hearing the severity of the tone,
because essentially in the show, it's just an extra limb.
It's not, it's not, it's not, it could be anything, it could be anything, I mean, obviously it's a penis because it's coming from between his legs, but still, it's just like an extra arm for the entire shoulder that can stretch and wind and bend and yeah, it's amazing hearing. It's going to have ramifications on the rest of the world. John Dilliman's fake cartoon penis. Yeah, I've skipped ahead a little bit from like various quotes of people saying this is terrible. Not that I'm saying it's not just absolutely insane, you know, but there's a lot of that. But now it says, look, look,
The show depicts a man who is impulsive and not always in control, who makes mistakes like kids do.
But crucially, Dillamond always makes it right.
He takes accountability for his, he takes responsibility for his actions.
When a woman in the show tells him that he should keep his penis in his pants, for instance, he listens.
Which is nice.
He is accountable, says Earl, Highness and Hoistead, a clinical psychologist.
This is interesting.
Hoisted conceded the timing was poor
and that a show about bodies might have
A show about bodies
might have considered depicting difference and diversity
beyond an oversized Dilla
which is Danish slang for penis
meaning Dillamond literally translates to penis man
Wow
But this is categorically not a show about sex she said
To pretend it is projects adult ideas onto it
So there you go
that's uh it's the show it's complicated isn't it it is i mean the premise isn't complicated it's
it's it's downright bizarre but i think i do i do sort of echo those sentiments it does seem like
poor timing and i do understand what these people are saying but at the same time you're right it's
not he's not walking around and using his his his his his dilla for for sexual exploits at all
It's just sort of a naughty friend who gets him in trouble.
Like, comedic trouble, not really heinous trouble.
Plus, it appears to be wrapped up in the material of his clothes.
It's got like the same pattern on it.
So it's not just a bare flesh penis.
You don't see the penis.
You just see the shape of it.
Are we the baddies for sexualizing John's Dillamond?
I don't know.
Well, I don't know how I feel about DR's response.
That's the PBC equivalent.
they've responded to the latest criticism by saying
that it could just as easily have made a program
about a woman with no control over her vagina.
Oh my God.
And then the most important thing is that children enjoyed John Dillardman.
Dillerman.
Sorry.
Oh, God.
It's just very, it's a, oh, it's just, I just imagine this,
these TV shows don't happen overnight.
This went through so many board meetings and tests and screenings.
and it got to this point,
which is kind of a miracle in itself.
Yeah.
It's something else.
It is something else.
It's a genuine,
I watch some of it,
and it's genuine, really entertaining.
It's a really charming show.
It's so well made.
The art style is beautiful.
Yeah.
It's just so weird that it's all juxtaposed
with this long diller.
It's beautiful.
Yeah.
But, you know,
It's unsurprising, I think, that Ben and I both saw this and decided, yes, potty it's.
Yeah.
With that being said, would you like to hear about the episode I watched?
Oh, yes, please.
I'd love to.
I don't know why that image that I've just pasted in chat has come through like that when it was supposed to be like this.
Oh.
It just turned into a guardian banner image.
Yeah, that photo is actually relevant to the first episode.
So I'm going to tell you all about that.
So I actually want to thank Nathan Dean Brown for tweeting this to me.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen this otherwise about John Dillamond.
And this was a CNN article that he sent to me.
And I was like, well, I feel like I've got to watch this.
And there is an episode on YouTube.
They might all be on there, but there's an episode on there,
and it has English subtitles as well.
And it's all very innocent.
He just sort of gets into hijinks,
but it's just instead of like, you know, his own clumsiness,
or mistakes that do it, it's sort of like a sentient Willie that gets him in trouble.
It's all very innocent. It's just a sentient Willie getting him into trouble.
He's. Getting him in trouble. And as Peter said, yeah, Dilla is apparently,
according to France 24 News, a fairly innocent Danish word for penis. So it might even be like
Willie man. Willie man. Oh my God, that's even better.
Wilson Man
So based on my observation of this episode
It's only like five minutes
It's really like it's got a very distinct style
And it's really pretty
It's sort of like stop motion with miniatures
It's a bit like Postman Pat
And it's not like Postman Pat in the way
That it's animated and presented
And it appears that the
The Willie
Has just sort of had
It has a mind of its own
like it bribes dogs with sausages in the first episode
and makes them chase a cat when John is just trying to walk the dogs
and the Willie just sort of gets him in trouble
when he doesn't want it to do that
and it kind of acted you know what it reminded me of
it was a bit like one of Dr. Octopus's arms from Spider-Man
when he's trying to fight the suit
yeah it's just completely independent
just an appendage that does whatever it wants
It has a mind of its own.
So anyway, this first five-minute episode,
basically he's doing a barbecue
and he accidentally burns some sausages on the grill at the start,
which is a nightmare, obviously,
and he has to go and get some more sausages.
His mum said he's got to go get more sausages.
This is John Dillamond,
the man with the big penis and the moustache
who lives at home with his mum,
not to read too much into that,
but that's just the situation he's living with.
And so he goes there,
and he's asked to walk a dog on the way there,
and he walks the dog,
then his Willie gets him in trouble
and makes the dog chase a cat
and so he then loses the dog
he goes back with the sausages
and maybe get anything slightly confused
it was a very champ-packed episode
you'll have to forgive me
I wasn't expecting to have to go into this much detail
because I thought I was going to read the article as well
but basically
something happens and he ends up having to walk everyone's dogs
and so he's walking everyone's dogs
and I think he's obviously holding all the leads
with his giant Willie
and then
the dogs escape
and he has to track the dogs down
and so eventually it leads to him
being in the bed of a flat bed truck
which is driving along
and his willie is squeaking a sausage
which for some reason is the sausages he's gone to go and buy
he squeaks the sausages with his willie
and it attracts the dogs one by one
and one at a time
they catch up with the sausage
that's being held by his sausage
and they bite the sauce
sausage and it like does a close up of his face and he cries out in pain every time a dog
bites his willy and he slowly lifts them onto the truck and he does that like six
times as he lifts all the dogs on anyway he gets them all home and uh and i've got the translation
of what he says there's still that peter's put up now on the on the feed which is him sort of
clenching and his willie is squeezing what looks like gasoline or kerosene or something onto the
grill over his newly bought sausages. He says in Danish, oh no, you mustn't, Dilla, as it pours
way too much gasoline on, which then subsequently blows up in his face and ruins that batch of
sausages as well. So he is like in an abusive relationship with his own Diller. He's trapped. That's
horrifying. It's pretty scary, really.
it's quite upsetting
Yeah, imagine if that happened to you
But that's episode one of Dillamand
John Dillamond I should say
You should go on YouTube and Google it
Google it on YouTube
I suppose that makes sense, doesn't it? Search for it on YouTube
A lot of them have subs that you have to enable
But they are there in English
Sort of wonkily translated
And yeah, oh no
I'm just looking now, I can't find a single full episode
I don't know if they've all been taken down now
Oh maybe
One episode that's in reverse
that someone's clearly put up there
so that it will get past some kind of filter.
The intro is available
and there's lots of people reacting to
clips that have been cut together of it
but I can no longer...
Oh yeah, these are all from the past two days, aren't they?
Yeah, maybe they did like a big purge
because I watched it maybe Thursday or Wednesday.
Oh, no.
Head to Daily Motion, I guess, or something instead.
Yeah.
When I read the Guardian article,
there was actually a link
like that took you directly to an episode
hold on let me see if I can find it
yeah there you go
okay I've got I found it for you so you can enjoy
this is from the official like the actual
website where they air it as well
so it's an official link so they want
people to go there and watch it
I see you can just actually watch it there on their website
okay
so
I'll put that in the thread just in case anyone
should I put it in the thread
yeah yes chuck it in there yeah because it's
It's an official link.
Yeah, so there's his intro.
There's him getting his Willie stuck to a bus
and getting dragged along.
He's dredging a washing machine out of the river.
Because it is like, you can see that the models are made out of,
you know, kind of plasticine or clay or whatever.
But I think they've actually animated it by taking stills,
or some of the animation anyway,
it's been taken like, they've taken images of,
individual limbs, and then they just pivot those images of claymation model around certain
points. It's kind of a blend of, yeah, like claymation, but also the kind of magazine cutout
style animation you sometimes see where it's like bits of images all kind of pin together
and moving. Yeah, it's a really unique combination of styles, isn't it? His eyes are completely
separate. It kind of feels like something you'd happen to come across at 3.m.
on a weird channel.
Yeah.
Like some 90s animated show
that never really got picked up anyway
so now they bought it for cheap
except it's daytime children's TV
and yeah.
There's a bit of me that just absolutely adores that.
You read this description
and it sounds like it lives
in the realm of like happy tree friends or something.
You know,
like there's happy tree friends
about the adorable woodland creatures
who brutally murder each other
and there's also the man with the penis
he can't control.
Yeah, exactly.
It sounds just like a creepy pastor or something
but it's real kids TV.
Yeah, I'm sending you now.
There's a picture of him with the dog latching on to his diller.
And here is, here's his reaction each time.
His eyes, his eyelids twitch and stuff is horrible.
It's so awful.
John's Diller.
He just sort of scream and grunts as he is watching it now.
He's not happy about it at all.
So there we are.
That's John Dillamand in far more depth than I think either Peter or myself was expecting to talk about it today.
No, a double helping of Diller there for everybody.
I hope people found it educational.
Well, I for one loved it, so I think we should do every episode.
We'll do a summary of another Jason Dilleman.
This is the watch-along.
We should do a watch-along Dillamand stream.
Should do a spin-off podcast or a, yeah, or a stream.
You just do episode reviews and audio commentaries.
I'll find out what radio is in Danish,
and we can call this episode Diller Radio or something.
Oh, there we go.
Oh, brilliant.
Thank you very much, both of you for that deep dive on John's Diller.
Hopefully one day he's able to escape from its terrible, terrible rain.
Oh, it's also radio.
Oh, is it?
Oh, well, there we go to Dilla Radio.
Dilla Radio.
Yeah, there you go.
The Dilla Villa?
Dilla, like the house of Dilla?
Yeah.
Find out what house is.
House.
What's a house?
What is house?
Dilla Hoose.
Dillah Hoose.
Lovely, perfect.
It just sounds Geordy now.
Dilla Hoose.
Dula Hoose.
Could we get Simon on and maybe just do like Diller with Miller or something?
Dillard with Miller?
Oh my God.
I'm Simon Diller.
I have no control over my, no.
want to get him in trouble.
All right, let's move on to a thing, shall we, before we meet you, someone else.
Nathaniel Barlam at Barlam Nathaniel on Twitter say, say, sorry, not say, they said more than one thing.
They say hindsight is 2020, but now it's 2021, so you have super hindsight.
Are there any goals you had for last year that you didn't accomplish that you are intent on
achieving this year. Obviously, we made Ben fast. But what slipped through the cracks? I mean,
Ben, let's just talk about your resounding achievement at 2020. Yes. Just your fantastic improvement
in speed in every aspect. Thank you. I really appreciate that. We're proud of you. Thank you.
You used to be able to have sexual intercourse over a period of five to ten minutes. Now it's like
two minutes. You know, you're a world record holder almost. I'm really impressed. Yeah. Well,
the thing is i've been training for a long time and i honestly i couldn't have done it without um you know
without either of you and all your encouragement because every week i'd get a i'd get a call from peter
just saying hi ben um you know are you fast yeah go first and and i'd be like oh shit no i mean
i am a little faster but not enough to really feel proud of myself and and you would always just
end the call by going hmm and then you'd hang up and i'd be like oh i feel like i need to
to myself now. So it was sort of like
good cop, bad cop, because then Mikey would
be like, hey Ben, I'm really proud of you
dude, you're just smashing it and just
between two of, that's sort of the psychological
abuse from both of you. I was
able to really knuckle down and, you know,
get those sort of Olympic level results.
It was a pre-planned
pincea maneuver on the part of us to.
It was masterful. And now with hindsight, being
2020, I can, you know, while I was struggling at the time
with the two, with the two
very distinct approaches from both
you. I can see the results and see that it was worth it. And I'm stronger and faster for it. So
thank you both of you. That's the thing. Like week by week, you don't really notice a change.
It's a gradual improvement. But if you looked at January 2020 versus December 2020, my God,
it's December, you're just a blur. Yeah. It's, it's, it is, it is fantastic. And we're proud
of you. Thanks, man. Thank you. Thank you. I guess we can expand this into what we want to do
this year with with well
this is relying on the heavy assumption
that we're allowed to go outside this year
yeah yeah yeah
I mean I'm supposed to be getting married this year
maybe that's get Peter married
2021 yeah yes please
let this happen let this happen
so we need three headlines do we for
this so get Peter married
2021 that's that's Peter's slogan
Mikey what's your slogan
what do you want
um shower every day
get mikey clean
yeah there we go clean up mickey's act
you clean yeah michael
are you clean yeah what about you ben
i want to get slower peter
yeah get slow it's too fast
too fast so make ben slower
2021
I'm a national threat
a national security threat currently
yeah absolutely
all of those things will
come together on my wedding day
Michael will turn up smelling beautiful
I'll be at the front getting married and Ben will
turn up halfway through the ceremony
I'll just not be there because I'm still on my way
yeah
and we'll all shed a tear thinking he finally did it
that beautiful bastard
yeah well done
to be clear I don't want to get too
slow I just want to get down to safe levels
you know sort of like human
I'm in superhuman levels currently
and I want to get down to regular human levels
yeah
yeah absolutely
Right, quite frankly, right now, you're ridiculous.
Tesco shops are just, it's a nightmare.
They have to open the shop, especially for you.
Yeah.
So they can clean up the chaos you leave afterwards and it's getting a bit much.
They have to clear the aisles.
They have to just vacate, you know, they have to evacuate the premises before I arrive in case.
Have either of you watched the boys?
No, no.
Okay.
I've watched supermarket sweep if that's anything else.
Right, imagine supermarket sweep.
Imagine the flash if he ran into a regular person.
Oh.
Yeah, it's just, it's that whenever I go to Tesco and that's not.
I'm tired of it now.
You know, there's a lot of legal issues with that.
Six killed in man's quest for tinned pineapples.
I need those pineapples.
I've got to get them pineapples.
Would you like to hear my thing?
Yes, fingers.
I thought we'd start 2021 on another fight.
Oh.
A big tournament.
It's a tournament time.
tournament time it's a tournament of crisps
okay
so someone who's donated didn't like your opinion on skips
where's that come from
did we do crisps hold on this is terrified me now
did I don't think we did did we
no because I was writing these down
I was like I've definitely not talked about this
well just going to carry on
I'm just going to be confident in the fact that I didn't do crisps already
okay okay
um yeah so skips
apparently lots of people like skips
Do you like skips?
I like skips, yeah.
I like skips, but I don't have to...
I don't choose to eat them, though.
I don't dislike them.
I've not skipped for years, but I do like...
I just remember getting them as a child.
It was always just the most disappointing thing,
because it's barely a crisp.
To me, crisp should have crunch.
And I bought a bag of skipsy the other day just to remind myself,
do I actually hate crisps or I just misremembering?
No, skips suck, because on the packet, they describe themselves as incredibly melty.
And to me, that's not a crisp.
And it is literally put them in the mouth
and they just dissolve
And there's no crunch
There's no satisfaction
It's terrible
And I want to see where they
Well this is mainly just to find out
Where skips lie on the in the pantheon of crisps
But also I'm curious
What is what is the ultimate crisp
So a dose of like pre preempted
Your thing today
Wait which one was that
Well just the person who said
About skips
Oh of course
Well this one's for you
You paid your three quid you get some skips
It's skips time
I imagine you with your vendetta against skips is sort of like
whenever you have them or whenever you had them
It was like that video where the raccoon tries to wash his candy floss
Yeah
You put the skip in your mouth and it's like it's gone
It's just melted on my tongue where the hell is it
What the hell?
Yeah actually that's a brilliant way of putting it
It's just my day is ruined and my disappointment is a magic
Immeasurable
Have you boys ever had a communion wafer
Oh yeah
No no I was never lucky enough what are they like
You went to Catholic school didn't you Ben
Yeah like communion
Wafers are kind of like skips, but even worse, and that they don't taste of prong, they taste
of flour. The body of Christ. The body of Christ. Oh, I didn't include communion wafer's on
the list, but we can assume they'd be topped here. If Tesco sold just small 30 grand bags of
communion wafers to have with your pack lunch, that would be amazing. Yeah, just plain, or maybe they could
do flavored, they could do like a prawn cocktail flavored body of Christ. That would be really good,
Delicious
I'm saying
If they
If they do that
If I can go to church
And get a salt and vinegar
Body of Christ
I'd be more tempted
To do it
I would have much preferred
If you went up to the altar
To receive the Eucharist
And the vicar just put a skip
On your tongue
He blesses you
And just says
Skips
Walkers skips
Skips
Body of Christ
Walker skips
I just found
You can buy a community
Wafers on Amazon, a box of $1,000 for $20.
That's too much.
Who's manufacturing the body of Christ like that?
Come on.
But a lot of people are buying it, apparently.
There's 1,300 ratings.
Are they like consecrated ones or not?
So because it starts, it's just quote unquote bread, even though it's not.
It's just a flat white disc.
And then a priest has to like put the Holy Spirit in it.
And then it becomes the body of Christ.
So I wonder what Amazon are selling there.
Are they claiming that it's been blessed by a priest?
and you can buy actual flesh of Jesus.
You know, we're not going to talk about crisps for a minute.
Mikey, would you mind send me a link to that Amazon listing?
Oh, yeah, of course, yeah, yeah.
I think it's blessed it yourself, isn't it?
You bless it on arrival.
Because you don't want the blessing to expire in transit
because it could be sat in the warehouse.
B.I.Y.
B.I.I.
B.I.I. I'm just, I wanted to look at who's selling this by Broadman Press,
who also sell communion bread pack of 500,
communion cup filler
which is like it looks like
a sort of a hamster feeder
it's got communion wine in it
I've found an amazing review
underneath five stars
yum that's the biscuit of a carpenter
and then it says
my family use these Jesus biscuits
to play eat 33 Jesus biscuits
without drinking then we post the videos
on YouTube there are three of us
so we give the spare one to the cat
Obviously, we can't give him a whole Jesus biscuit at once
or he would choke on the dry and tasteless treat.
So it's useful that the manufacturer, presumably God,
has chosen to pre-score the Jesus biscuits
so they can be easily quartered. How thoughtful.
Incredible.
Incredible.
This seller is very, very on brand.
They sell, I think they're paperback books,
ancient heroes, Esther, David and Leaders of Israel,
Moses, you can buy a pastor baptism robe, a pleated baptism robe, gloves,
hymn board slide numbers you can also buy.
Just like church suppliers, I guess.
And a hymn board, yeah, there's all sorts.
A lot of them are out of stock, though.
That's a shame.
Five stars, I can't believe it's not Jesus.
Oh, this is brilliant.
I've never considered the fact to be like sellers on Amazon kit,
exactly just solely towards your church boys people who operate in churches i don't know what they
call church boys yeah the church boys i don't like the fact that the communion waifers have a publication
date and an isbn number oh an isbn number oh no i mean they do taste like paper so i mean
maybe they are just from a book and they've been sliced up um you can get square gluten-free
ones look oh sick there you go everyone's cater to no one's left out of the flesh of jesus
Anyway, number one, crisp, the body of Christ.
Body of Christ is number one.
Can't, can't.
I'm just, I can't get the picture of a, of a priest sliding a skip onto your tongue out of myself.
Skip.
Oh, dear.
It just makes me laugh.
It makes me smile thinking about, just to skip, just, there you go.
It's much better with the thought of the priest putting it on your tongue as well.
Because you have the choice, Mikey.
You might not be aware of this.
You can kind of put your hands out and they'll put it in your hand, which is what I used to do.
I don't want no priest putting something on my tongue.
That's well gay, in it?
That's proper gay.
I'm joking, of course.
But yeah, they can place it onto your tongue,
which is very strange.
I don't know why anyone ever opted to go for that option.
Yeah.
It's the holiest method, Peter.
Yeah, I guess you don't want to touch.
Like a baby bird, body of Christ.
Anyway, right, so we've decided that communion withers are, in fact, number one,
nothing we other beat them. But I guess this is the battle for second place. Yeah.
So in front of me, I have got 16 varieties of crisp. And it's up to us to figure out
which is the best. So a little bit of pretext. I've not gone for individual flavors because
we'd be here all bloody day otherwise. I've just kind of gone for the master crisps. So like
Doritos, walkers, etc. There's a few specialized crisps in there. But I think you can have to
look at the crisps on the whole, every flavor, and maybe there's some good flavors, maybe
there's some bad flavors, but we're going to have an overview of the crisps.
Shall we start?
Absolutely.
Yeah, let's do it.
We start with Doritos versus Space Raiders.
Now, Space Raiders, I think, I fear our American audience definitely don't know about.
They're essentially corn snacks in the shape of little alien heads, and they're usually found
in garages, and they're extremely cheap.
a garage's petrol stations.
Swimming pool vending machines is a way.
Yes.
School discos.
Yeah, it's like the ultimate discount snack.
And I'm just going to say it.
For me personally, I would choose a space radar
over a Dorito every day of the week.
Fuck. I wish that Space Raiders
came in larger quantities
because they are delicious and I love
them very much. I'm also very
partial to Doritos though.
Oh, Ben, you can buy big
packets of space radios, though.
can you really see i've never had the pleasure of a big packet of space of space raiders they're very nice
but the thing is i don't get them often enough because they are that sort of rare they only exist in liminal
spaces really you know places where the lights don't work that's where they sell space raiders
yeah it's not good enough for tesco but they'll sell it in your local 24 hour corner shop you know
yeah um but they do taste good they're especially like
the main flavor, because all brands of crisps have a main flavor,
even though it's not always the same one, is the pickled onion ones, right?
I'm a big fan of the tag.
Oh, are you?
Oh, yeah.
I want my tongue to burn.
Yeah.
And they're really good.
Oh, I don't know.
It's like, it's not a crisp you grab and, like, put in your lunchbox or whatever,
but for me, it's like, it's a desirable crisp.
But, I mean, I will attest that Doritos are bloody wonderful, and I'm a big fan of them.
But I just, for some reason, in my heart, in my heart exists only Space Raiders.
I mean, I just kind of feel like Doritos, they have such widespread appeal.
And, you know, they're so famous and popular.
And you can dip them if you want to dip them.
Or if you don't want to, you don't have to, like me.
I really like even just the plain ones, lightly salted.
I really like the chilly heat wave, like, red ones.
Actually, that's, I went in the shop the other day.
There is like 50 different flavors of Doritos now.
It is incredible the range they've got.
Yeah.
So it's no longer just cool original or all the other stuff.
They've got like lime and guacamole.
It's magic.
On balance, I think I'm just going to have to say Doritos.
Call me anormi, if you like.
No, it's very understandable.
And hey, I still love Space Raiders.
And if I could like alter the heats in this tournament,
I would like get Space Raiders further along
but still have Doritos win over it.
but, you know, alas, I can't.
All right, Ben, it's up to you.
I mean, I'm currently looking at a £12.96, 36 pack box of Space Raiders pickled onion flavor on Amazon.
And remembering how amazing these crisps are.
Just looking at the packet, you can kind of taste it.
I can already taste it.
I'm salivating a bit, thinking about it.
I love Doritos. I think they're delicious.
I play video games
I'm contractually obliged
to like Doritos
but I feel like
Doritos doesn't need my help
they recently very
sort of
pompously
my brain is blanking
on the correct word
sort of ran an advert
where they didn't even say
their own name
they were just like
you know what we are
they sort of showed like
the shape of the crisp
and like we're that
we're that crisp
that so
fucking good
that you know what we are
and we don't even need
to tell you what we are
you can look at a triangle
and notice us
that's the Ritos
so it's like
part of me feels like
I need to stand up
for Space Raiders
and I'm gonna do it
I'm fine with it
if you want to do that
oh my God
I'll get behind you
that's good with me
right there we go
Space Raiders through
Jesus Christ
do you remember these
I've never eaten
or seen one of these
in the wild
but I've seen the packet
before
Golden Wonder Transformer Snack.
Oh my God, no, I've never seen that.
What is that?
Wait, what, really?
Oh, Transformer snacks were a staple at my childhood corner shop.
He used to get them all the time.
You get like a chassis, and then you put hoops on the chassis,
and it's all made of crisp, and then you eat the entire car.
No, I've never seen them in real life.
Oh, magical.
It's essentially a fancy toy version of Space Raiders.
Oh, shit.
I never had Golden Wonder.
Oh, Golden Wonder.
is a very good manufacturer.
I don't, I don't think they only make one appearance on this list,
but Golden Wonder is, it's a great,
it's an, like, Aldi-level brand,
but just Marks and Spencer-level quality snack.
To Golden Wonder make wheat crunchies?
Yes, yes.
I love wheat crunchies.
The smoky bacon, wheat crunchies,
are like, honestly one of my favorite crisps.
Oh, man.
I'm very hungry now.
I've got to go out and get some crisps.
All right, the next round is
Walker's.
As in just every single walkers crisp under the sun.
Right.
For Americans and non-British people, that's Lays.
And skips.
Oh.
So you like skips, but they're just, they're not walkers, are they?
No, they're not.
It's, it, there's an inherent problem in this,
and that I probably should have paired up the brands to brands
and the individual crisps to individual crisps, shouldn't it be?
Yeah.
I'm not realizing the floor of my method.
Yeah, Doritas versus walkers would have been much harder to pick.
that's true
shit
oh well they're all written down on paper now
I can't undo it
no it's fine
it's fine
these are the rules
I think
honestly to me
skips are a fine crisp
but let down just by the
the melty soggy nature of them
because I like prone cocktail
it's a nice flavour
I like a bit tang
but
just this is gone
within seconds and it's upsetting
the thing with skips
is that I think
they might do different flavours
but I can't think
what they are
I think the only one I can think of
the prawn cocktail one and you know that's maybe that's that lets it down a bit oh let's that's have a
quick set i've never seen another flavor of chris uh skips anywhere in shops i might be wrong but
the do sizzling bacon and butterly oh sorry utterly cheesy butterly blue yeah there you go
cheesy skips doesn't sound nice at all essentially a watts it isn't it yeah or a quaver
it will be a quaver really oh quaver that's it yes you're right because that's very melty
yeah i think it's got to be walkers over skips i do like prong cocktail skips but you know the versatility of walkers
kind of comes through yeah god i don't know i haven't had skips for ages skips are nice but yeah
i also haven't had walkers for ages i don't really i don't really eat crisps and haven't for a long
time but um yeah yeah probably walkers isn't it yeah it's got yeah walkers is such a wide
It's wide brand that it's hard to say no, too.
But will it beat the mighty Space Raiders.
We'll find out later on.
Unstopable.
Okay, welcome to the cheese zone,
because it's Wattsitz versus mini-cheddars.
Oh, no.
And I want to know, where are the regular cheddars?
I've never once seen just cheddars.
Yeah, where are cheddars?
I think you get them in, like, Biscuit selection packs for cheese.
Oh, is that what it is?
Probably. I have no idea.
Oh, all my life had been wondering,
I'm like, where's the regular cheddars?
They have done before,
they have done like, I think share bag size
mini cheddars that are bigger.
I don't know if they actually change the name of it,
if they just call it cheddars or Keith Cheddars.
I'm waiting for them to just do cheddar,
and it's just one big sort of 30 centimetre
disc.
It's like a cylinder.
It's not even sliced up.
It's three inch thick.
No, you have to carve off your own, your own cheddars.
but it comes with a handy cross in the middle
for dividing it up.
I think Wattsits are good
but they're a bit of a mess.
You know, you get powdery fingers
and I'm not,
some people really like having powdery fingers
after crisps and licking them clean,
but I don't like,
I don't like residue
when I've had my crisps.
I feel like for me
mini-chairs are quite a decadent crisp
because it is essentially a small cracker
which adds to the fun for me.
Yeah, it's why they're in such small packets, isn't it?
I think Wattsis definitely has the more intense
Hence cheese flavor, and I feel like it's a nicer flavor is what sits,
but Peter's right about the mess, and I'm a big fan of mini-cheddars anyway,
so I'm going to go mini-cheddars.
Yeah, me too.
I'm going to go mini-cheddars as well.
Well done, mini-cheddars.
It's a resounding success of victory.
Mini-cheddars.
Okay, this is a pretty unfair round.
I know how this one's going to go.
I just wrote these down in the order I wrote them down,
and I didn't, because it's like three minutes before we start recording.
I was like, oh, shit, need to get down.
Pringles versus vegetable cream.
Crisps.
Oh, fuck see.
The thing is, I really like those vegetable crisps.
Peter does like his potpourri crisps.
I used to get them, do you remember at Vidiots?
I used to go out and buy them with my meal deal.
Yeah.
I chose voluntarily to have the vegetable crisps over various other options.
Well, Peter, I'm with you.
I'm a massive proponent of vegetable crisps.
I think they're beautiful.
They're so nice, especially the beetroot ones, the purple ones.
Oh, yeah.
Parsnip.
Oh, yeah.
Give me them sweet, sweet veg.
And actually, I think even putting the side of the veggie crisps,
I'm not just trying to defend veggie crisps here.
I think Pringles are overrated, personally.
Absolutely, I'm in full agree with here.
I fucking love Pringles.
I don't even like the traditionally popular flavors either.
I like salt and vinegar Pringles.
Ooh.
Yeah, I like salt and vinegar Pringles,
but it just kind of bothers me that they look like what's,
I mean, I know this happens to various other crisps too,
but Pringles have more obviously been mashed up into liquid potato
and then molded back together into Pringle.
Pringle shapes, whereas other crisps don't necessarily look like that's what's happened to them,
even though it has actually happened to them, too.
I swear to fucking God, if vegetable crisps win this round, I'm going to be so disappointed with you, too.
I mean, you're currently two against one.
You could try and persuade it otherwise, but I don't think I can, though, can I?
Probably not.
They taste so good.
I love Pringles.
Pringles are just like the perfect snacking shape, and you get like a, yes, it's annoying to jam your hand into the slimy tube to pull them out.
You get like a little stack of them, and you can just shove them.
them in your mouth they're very satisfying to crunch they're sort of that is true they conform to
the shape of your mouth kinder so that you can crunch it real good you can make a hilarious duck
mouth with it what more do you want true what you can't do that with vegetable crisps can you
because they're all natural and weirdly shaped you're right about the duck mouth but on the
other hand vegetable crisps i would say statistically have way more folded crisps than a normal
pack of say walkers or anything else you get so many wish crisps yeah love the wish
crisps i heard that bite through vegetable crisps are the number one cause of carbon emissions
in the crisp industry did you have you thought about that uh yeah planet i want my
parsnip crisps give me my green crisps i really want some veggie crisps now i'm going to have
to vote for them because it's the one out of all the crisps we've talked about so far
I want to eat them now the most.
I'm just in my head picturing my Pringle's experience,
and it usually does involve me eating half a tube in one sitting,
but throughout the entire process,
just being upset and disappointed in myself.
Because the flavour wasn't there, but I can't...
They're right.
Once you pop, you can't stop.
Once you pop, I'm all right, actually, thanks.
I will demolish them if they're in front of me,
but I don't think that's a vouch of confidence.
What's that puff?
tickle pickle pickle puff melts what are they and what's that finger doing to the skit there's so much wrong with this chris packet i don't know how michael posted it and didn't look at it properly
i just saw tickle pickle i thought it was kind of fun okay i put this in the thread i didn't notice it's puff melt underneath you can't say that
the picture of the of the tickling the pickleing going on there is absolutely disgusting skips tickle but hang on let me see if i can get a full photo
of just the pack, Mikey.
I can crop it down.
Yeah, you might have to, actually.
There's almost nothing on it.
That, God, it's curse packaging.
Okay, good.
Right.
I like the fake ripples that they've added
into the package.png there,
where they're sort of all lumpy.
Oh, God.
Look at this fucking, hang on.
I'm getting all sorts of weird crisp flavors.
I know Walker's has done some weird shit over the years,
but look at that one.
Oh, Builders Breakfast is.
It's just a full English.
Why have they called it built?
Does it taste like tea as well?
Oh, God.
Do you remember during...
Cajian squirrel was good.
Yeah, Cajian squirrel.
I forgot about that.
Cajun squirrel?
What?
Excuse me?
Yeah.
I mean, it may have well just been called Cajian spice
because it doesn't taste of anything squirrely, but...
It's lovely God.
Do you remember during...
I don't know if it was F.A. Cup or World Cup or, you know,
years ago now, like,
late 90s maybe, they did
Salt and Linica and Michael Owen.
Yeah, I remember Chees and Owen and Olinica.
Oh, she's an Owen, sorry, not Michael O'N.
Michael, Owen.
Michael Onion.
Yeah.
Cheese and Owen.
Oh, British culture.
Vanilla?
No, they were vanilla.
Oh, no.
Ice cream?
Oh, they've turned the monster into an ice cream packet behind him.
He looks like Pizza the Hut from Spaceballs.
Oh, God.
No.
Right.
Well, I'm sorry.
saying that's a victory for veg crisp
Yeah
I'm fine
Sorry I apologize to the
Once you pop man
That's great
Uncle money bags
Hula Hoops
versus McCoys
They don't say man crisps
anymore do they
They're not allowed
No
That's rude
Woman crisps
McCoys ribbed for his pleasure
They're crinkle
Crinkle crisps
They're possibly
The nicest crisp
To crunch through
I would say
It's a satisfying Christmas.
I'm a big salt and vinegar fan, as people may have surmised from my flavour choices so far.
And the salt and vinegar McCoys are so good with a sandwich.
They are.
In a sandwich?
No, with a sandwich.
Like alongside a sandwich.
People do have crisp sandwiches sometimes and I don't get that at all.
Yeah, I've had a couple of crisps sandwiches in my time.
I think it's a horrible blend of texture, soft bread and then a crunchy crisp inside.
I don't like that.
I do like a crisp sandwich, but I don't do it anymore.
I haven't happened in a while
but like crisp sandwiches
for like a good couple of years
were just a staple of my diet
and there was the best time of my life
Mike you've ever heard of bread sandwiches
yeah bread sarnies
that's like a northern thing isn't it
yeah is that way it's normal bread on the outside
and toast in the inside
or is it reversed right I've never had one
but I went to uni with a guy from Sunderland
and he did it and he was like
yeah it's amazing it can't be
stop.
Stop it.
I'm glad the good people
of Sunderland
are creating
such a good impression
outside of the North East.
What, you go
for your tea there?
Bread,
sandwich,
just carbs on carbs on carbs.
Toast and bread
an extra 50s worth of toast.
At least you're seasoning it
with salt and pepper.
Yeah, it's very classy.
Hulu Hoops,
actually Hula Hoops
are incredibly crunchy as well
but they also have the extra
benefit of being jewelry
if you feel like it.
Yeah, you can do like horse noises
with your hula hoops.
And the thing is
the thing I love about Hulips
and I've always wanted to start a Twitter account
for this or on Instagram or something
is there's always one hula hoop in the packet
that is an absolute abomination.
Like you can't even begin to work out
how it came out like that.
And there's always one in every packet
and I wanted to start a gallery
like Hula Hoop of the Week
like worst looking hula hoop
packet of the packet thing
Oh, I love that
And there's always one really, really, really thin one as well
Yeah, I think they do it on purpose.
There is.
Oh, dearie me.
I'm...
No, sorry, carry on.
No, I was just going to say,
McCoy's generally have better flavour,
but I feel like Hula Hoop's are a better overall experience.
Novelty.
Yeah.
I think I may vote against you guys again,
because while I have had
Hula Hoops since, and I think they're fine,
I think they're just fine and I have eaten hula hoops and there is a very real risk of them splintering and stabbing the roof of your mouth because they're weird shapes.
You know, when you bite through the hoop, you don't know which bit it's going to go where.
And also when I was younger, I now know that I wrongly point the blame at hula hoops.
But do you remember when they did mini hula hoops?
Yeah.
And you could buy a bucket of mini hula hoops.
A bit of them.
Yeah, a barbecue bucket.
I got a packet for Christmas.
I just had the ready salted ones.
And it sort of, it was the same time that I had a sort of stomach virus or something like that.
And it was at Christmas.
And I was really sick over Christmas.
Like I was in bed and vomiting as a child during Christmas.
And I associated that with hula hoops.
And I swore off them for the longest, longest time.
And I will eat them now, but I'm just, I don't like it.
Hulu Hoops.
I would say to me, Hula Hoops are convenient.
I used to sometimes have them at lunch because they would, they're small enough to fit
inside a lunchbox without popping when you shut the lid.
But in terms of best crisp, you know, I wouldn't have McCoy's every day, but they
were like a luxury crisp for me and I would say McCoy's.
I'm going to go for the same reason.
McCoys, I think it's a better experience.
You wouldn't go for them, you wouldn't grab them.
You wouldn't be like, oh, that's my go-to crisp.
but when they're on offer, it's like, yeah, this is living, this is life.
Nice.
McCoys.
Discos, which is a perfectly round crisp in a variety of flavors, good crunch,
and frazzles, the bacon crisp.
Oh, I've never had a disco in my life.
Have you not?
Used to get frasles now and then when we were little.
They're surprisingly very good crisp.
They've got strong flavor,
and it's just the fact that they are quite nearly perfectly round
is a good novelty but
Frazzles I'm a big fan of
they're kind of like to me
what I would want a skip to be
the crunchy, nice
put some prone cocktail flavor on that I'd be happy
but it's not going to melt
exactly to fuck off your melt
but I think frasels are my favourite
I like frasles
Ben I am
I'm not a fan of the artificial bacon flavour
I will eat frazzles
but I feel like especially with this round
we're straying into territory where I don't have
a lot of prior knowledge.
Like Peter, I've never had a disco.
I don't think I've ever had branded frazzles.
I grew up with Tesco value crisps in my pet lunch.
So I didn't have a lot of these branded crisps until either I was older and could buy
them myself or, you know, on special occasions, like visiting friends' houses and stuff.
But I never had disco crisps.
So I don't really have a horse in this race.
I think one of the Frazzles' spin-off crisps, like the sort of Aldi version or wherever, was called rashers.
Rashes.
Dave used to say when he was talking about bacon, have a couple of rachers for breakfast.
Rest in peace, Dave.
You know.
Rest in peace, Dave.
All crunchy bacon flavour crisps are kind of the same, even the discount versions.
But you're right that the flavour, it can get tiresome, but I think at least for the first good few handfuls, it's pretty nice.
You're just shoveling these rashers into your face.
Yeah, I'd say frazzles, but only because I've not had discos.
That's fair.
Frazzles, you make it through.
Go frazzles.
Right.
We're almost there.
We've got two left of the first round, and then we can smash through to the finale.
Cool.
Monster Munch and Snacker Jax.
Monster Munch.
Snacker Jax are just rice cakes with salt and vinegar on them.
I don't like him.
I do like a snack.
snack-a-jack, but only when I'm feeling guilty about snacking, and I want crisps.
And you want to jack.
If you want some vinegary air, the perfect snack.
Yeah, they don't fill you up at all.
And Monster Munch, ironically, falls foul of exactly the same issues we discounted what sits
for in that they leave a mess everywhere, but they're so fucking delicious.
Yeah, Monson.
This is a tough one for me, because I absolutely adore Monster Munch, but Snacker Jacks are my go-to,
like, everyday crisp.
like it'll be my snack
but I do agree
Monster Munch are the superior crisp
And the last one of the first heat
Is onion rings
Versus Twiglets
Oh that's a tough one
Oh Jesus
It's tricky because twiglets are contentious
So twiglets are marmite-covered
Twigs
They look exactly like twigs
I mean literally
When when Mr Bean runs out of
Twiglets on his New Year's Eve party, he chops up a twig and dips it in Marmite and serves it to his friends.
So that's actually what they are.
Yeah.
I don't like Marmite.
So I don't like twiglets.
You know, I think they look, well, they don't look good.
They look like twigs, but like, you know, they've got their own unique look to them.
But then I suppose, you know, onion rings, I know there's a few ring-shaped crisps, but not that many.
so I don't know
Twiglets you know
they look like twigs
they call them twiglets
it's fun
that's what they've got
going for them
as far as I'm concerned
I've only recently
got into the Marmite world
like in the last year
I've started having it more
I never used to like it as a kid
and I think I had it
like my mom gave it to me once
and I kind of discredit it
for years
I thought let's give it another goal
and I'm a big fan of twiglets
but I do find that by the end
of the pack
I would quite happily
not eat twiglets again for a month
yeah
I've had enough of that
It's only legally
You're only legally allowed to eat
Twiglets over Christmas in New Year's
That's the only time
And you can
And you can also only eat them out of those big tins
That they come in
You're not allowed to buy the small
They sell small packets
But you're not allowed to buy them
It's illegal
You'll be arrested on the spot
I did notice that in Artesco
There was like the only crisp
That was being sold in a tin
It was twiglets
It's just
I don't know
I don't know what that says about them
They're from the same family as mini-cheddars, right?
I think they're made by the same company.
Yes, yes. I love onion rings the fast food.
I really don't rate onion rings the crisp at all.
And I am a big fan of Marmite, but twiglets, as you say, you know, you can, you have some.
And then you're like, right, I could easily not eat these for a long time.
And that's why I think they're the perfect.
They're one of the only crisps.
I think that they're maybe the only crisp that's associated with a particular time of year.
And then they just stay quiet.
And the brand survives until Christmas comes again.
And everyone goes out and buys the tins again.
So it's twiglets for me, even though I don't want to sit.
They're very moorish, but I don't want to sit there and eat them all day.
Yeah, that's the thing.
Yeah, you want more.
But your body is literally telling you to stop.
You're so dehydrated now.
Yeah.
I think onion rings can be so incredibly hit and miss.
I haven't gone for a particular brand here because I don't think,
I think it's very much the supermarket makes your own brand one.
That's the one you go for.
I'm going to say twiglets as well.
That's fine.
I mean, I'm not exactly a defender of onion rings,
but I just, because I don't like mom,
I can't vote for twiglets,
so I would vote for onion rings,
but I've only had onion rings a couple of times.
So, yeah, fair enough.
There we go.
We got our first heat done.
We're into some kind of final.
I'll figure it out as I go.
it's Space Raiders versus
walkers
to me it's just
walkers
I know again
a bit of a normie answer
because you know
it's just the basic crisp here
but so much
so many flavors
different varieties
you get baked ones
I feel like I have been
unfair to walkers throughout this
walkers are it's a good solid
it's like the nation's most
favorite crisp for a reason
it is it is dependable
it's nice the consistent
and you're right
there is a variety in there
uh the walkers
baked ones i didn't even think about as part of the wider brand they're one of my favorite
um they're really good if i'm getting a meal deal i get those slightly less unhealthy as well they're
really good however if someone pulled out like a packet of of ready salted or even salt and
vinegar walkers and said do you want a packet of walkers or do you want a packet monster much i go
oh go on give me a monster much i'll have a monster much that's the thing they're very very basic
very every day yeah they're they're reliable and
really good but if I because I don't eat crisps that often you know especially in sort of a
traditional lunchtime capacity or whatever I'm going to pick the the more interesting crisp I think
that's a good that's a good test imagine someone's putting the two bags in front you which one
do you instinctively think yeah that's what I want right now that's true but then on the other hand I
think so I agree I would probably actually get the get the space raiders but on the other hand
If someone said to me, we're getting rid of one of these forever,
you know, you'd never be able to buy these again.
I'd get rid of the Space Raiders and just eat, you know,
because I think the world would suffer without Walkers.
So it's tricky.
Oh, I think I'm going to put my voting for Walkers to feel like there is such a variety.
They are nice.
They are nice.
I think because we're just so used to them, they are such a prominent crisp that we've kind of just blurred into nothingness.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm going to go walkers.
Okay.
I'm walkers overall.
Oh.
Ben, just, just,
your vote at this point does not matter.
But what would you, what would you go on for?
Give me those alien boys.
Oh, well, I respect,
I do sincerely respect that.
Yeah, me too.
Mini Cheddars versus vegetable crisps.
Oh, that is a, fuck.
Mini Cheddars.
Mini Cheddars.
I think on balance,
cheddars as well because you know you're right michael they're a sort of regal crisp they're quite
you know they're a real special luxury treat also the one thing i should have said during the
vegetable crisp debate is that they're actually not any healthier for you i believe that oh absolutely
not like way more oil goes into them than word for a potato crisp so they don't have that over
you'd think they would at least be healthier but they're not well it's it's nice to have something that's
not potato-based.
Yeah.
Goodbye, veg.
Hello, mini-cheddars.
McCoys versus frazzles.
McCoys, easy.
McCoys, McCoys.
That's not a hard one.
Monster Munch versus Twiglets.
Monster Munch.
Monster Munch.
I agree, hold-heartedly.
Okay, semi-final time.
Walkers versus Mini Cheddars.
Warkers.
Mini Cheddars.
Oh, shh.
I don't think I've ever regret.
I regretted eating a bag of mini-cheddars.
Not online, I thought you would be saying when we started recording today.
There's many things that I'd never thought I'd say, but that's definitely up there.
I'm going to go many cheddars.
The king.
I think this is almost a power move just to fuck over walkers and Gary Linnaker, but I'm going to say many Cheddaghs.
Fucking Gary Linnaker, yeah, what a twat.
Take that, Gary.
Yeah, I tell you that, you're crisp man.
All right, McCoys and Monster Munch.
Oh, I still think McCoys.
Again, if someone often be the choice of the two,
I would have some salt and bidding of McCoy's over Monster Munch.
No, I'd go for the Monster Munch every day of the movie.
I'm really split.
I want both.
Can I have both of them?
Not how fights work, Ben.
I have some Ridge-cut Monster Munch, please.
Yeah, yeah.
McCoys.
Ooh, okay.
here. Mini Cheddars versus McCoys, the final, the ultimate crisp.
McCoys.
Really?
Well, that's fine, I guess.
There's been no debate.
The last round was harder than this one.
Mini Chedders cannot win crisp of the, or second place to the body of Christ,
crisp of the year, of all time, because they're barely even crisps.
I mean, I've allowed it up to this point, but they're not actually crisps, if you,
You think about it.
They glorified coasters for mice.
Yeah.
They come in a bag in the crunchy.
I class that as a crisp.
Yeah, I like mini-chedd.
I think we did pretty well there.
Yeah.
No, I'm happy they got that far, to be honest.
I have some honourable mentions, by the way.
I'm just looking at a list of crisps just to remind myself.
There's Terrells.
Oh, yeah.
They're very nice.
There's kettle chips.
Chetle chips.
Oh, kettle, I was going to put them on there, but I decided against it.
Kettle's brilliant crisp.
Pomb bears.
yeah
sweet crunchies
love them
scrolling scampy fries is a brand
oh knick knacks
nicknacks as well
I didn't want a pawns I don't like quivers
quivers remember those
quaver's a crap
quaver quaver are weird
so what do you say that Peter
chip sticks
chip sticks yeah that's the next one I was going to say
chip sticks they're very salty
they're really good French fries
also from walkers though
I never like french fries
No, they're not as good
You're right
They're too long and too crunchy
Yeah, too crunchy
I agree
Really crunchy
Sensations
Oh yeah
Yeah
Walker's Squares
Is apparently one
That people like
Oh yeah
Squares are nice
And that's it
Those are the ones
They're going down here
Anyway
Wow thank you
That's all right
Next time you're in
In your local supermarket
And you
If you've
Somehow not had McCoys
Give them a try
have voted our crisp of the year
salt and vinegar ones especially
I think that
I'm so sorry I didn't expect that it takes so long
I should have expected
a heated discussion about crisps to be
so in depth but it's fine
well we had two things in one
before that so we've still I mean looking at the
runtime we're only like a little bit
longer than normal which is
there we go it all worked out
yeah would you like
one final question
absolutely let's do it
Andrew Stinson 20 on Twitter.
I think this is a fitting way to end the podcast.
If you had to choose between a day-old Tesco pre-cooked rotissory chicken
or an old selection box where the chocolate doesn't taste quite right
and is all crumbly as a hat for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
Oh man, the curveball at the end there thought eating would be bad.
That's a fucking hat, really?
I was all ready to say rotissory chicken, but surely a selection box is not going to be less.
of rot on your head.
Well, I'm assuming that the chicken stays in a permanent state of de-oldness for eternity.
It's still meat.
Okay.
Animals are going to want.
Yes.
It's still going to look sillier than having a selection box.
I mean, a selection box isn't going to look normal, but it's still, it's not food.
The box itself, it's just a hat.
And if you live long enough, it may come into fashion.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly, yeah.
The only time that the rotissory chicken would look okay is around,
Christmas time when people wear there's novelty turkey hats sometimes.
And you'll get mulled by a bear or Peter's giant chimp before then anyway, because you're too
delicious.
Or an alternate situation for the chicken.
It could be a Mr. Bean cosplay as a turkey, but
how horrifying is, sorry, I just sent a picture of it.
It's so horrifying seeing Bean with a turkey on his head.
And it's like the, the beheaded end as well, just the hole in the
neck where its heads come off. It's really horrible. That's the thing. If you had to have a chicken
stuck to your head for your whole life, I would wear Mr. Bean's brown suit and red tie as well
for my whole life, so people would at least think I was in costume. Yeah, but yeah, I just think
the Siegel attacks alone would make life unbearable. It'd be all over the mirror.
Also, as a vegetarian or a vegan, I don't think you'd like it very much, Mikey, having that
no, it wouldn't be very nice, would it? Regardless of your stance on animals,
I don't think it'd be a pleasant time.
I think if you had to wear it to bed at night
with your vegan girlfriend,
she probably wouldn't be very pleased either.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll take the slightly crumbly deal.
That'd be deal chocolate.
Whatever, that's fine.
Day old chocolate.
What, like, fresh out of the fact
chocolate lasts for ages.
It would melt, though, in the summer.
I suppose it would, but it's presumably in the tub, right?
Yeah, maybe.
If you're better to tie your lasers,
you just dunk a hot chocolate mess on the floor.
And in the same way that the chicken doesn't rot, maybe after the hot day, the chocolate reverts back to normal again in the morning.
Both of these are terrible fates, but one is far worse than the other.
Yeah, I agree.
So, chocolate box on the head?
Chocolate hat.
Thank you very much.
And that's your questions for today.
Fantastic.
Thank you so much, Michael, for sourcing the questions.
