Alcohol and select markets.
Product availability may vary by Regency App for details.
You both good?
Yep, yep.
It's, yeah.
Are you better or worse than last time?
The same it's been the last 12 months, the same.
Yeah, it's hard to say, isn't it?
Because two weeks ago was, I'm pretty sure it was yesterday, wasn't it?
The last time we recorded one of these?
Yeah.
It feels like it.
Yeah, that sounds right.
Yeah, this morning, probably.
Comes around real quick.
It does.
Which is nice, to an extent, for like weekends that, you know,
seem to only be about two days apart from each other.
That's true.
But not so good when, you know, like work deadlines are suddenly,
everything is due tomorrow all the time.
It's time to start on another one of those edits.
Yeah.
Even though you've just finished one.
Oh, that was all that was fun at what culture, just the relentless, just like pigs being fed slop.
It's just like, right, well, here's some more.
Edit in, bugger.
Yeah.
I've had a fun week of sleeping.
I don't know what happened, but I got into a habit of just sleeping for like 16 to 20 hours at a time.
Wow.
It's just like remarkable.
How are you, how does that feel?
Honestly, it's the worst thing ever.
It's just like, well, there goes a day.
I think it's terrible
Are you sleeping
Over the course of the night
At least
You're not sort of nocturnal
Are you?
It's like
End of the work day
I'm just going to pass out
And then oh boy
Work day again
No that's awful
So you get no down time
At all
It happened a few times
But I've bounced out
By sleeping just one hour last night
So it
Oh and
That sounds like a very healthy way
Of resetting
Yeah
It wasn't intentional
You know, when, like, I've got, at night, I always listen to a podcast. I've kind of, I don't think it actually helps, but in my head, I'm like, this will help me sleep. And I, like, I've got a specific podcast called, um, stuff you should know. It's just, it's just like, two people talking about the most specific subjects. And it's always a gamble, which one you choose. It could either be like just the perfect, good night, boring, reeling of some information, or it could be the most exciting, tantalizing thing you've ever heard. And I had three whoppers in a row of great episodes. So I couldn't sleep. I didn't want to escape. I didn't want to pause.
No, Mikey. Well, I hope you can stay awake for today's recording and then you can go off
and sleep for 20 hours afterwards. I'll try my best. Are you hibernating? Is that what?
I think so. Maybe that's it. Yeah, that would make sense. Yeah, I'm a bear.
The winter. Have you eaten loads and loads of, like, vegan food?
Nuts and berries and twigs. Yeah.
And vegan food, yeah. Sorry, you've been eating twigs, Michael.
Yeah, that's classic hibernation food, right? It's what bears eat before they eat before they
haven't just loads of twigs.
It's like, you know, nature twiglets.
Yeah, just twiglets and what were they all brand?
What was it called?
They looked like twigs.
You could buy them, you probably still can as breakfast cereal.
Oh, yeah.
And they were like bran flakes, but they were long.
It just looks like a bird's nest.
Breakfast twigs.
What, what?
No, it's not bringing them up.
That's a shame.
Oh, high fire.
Oh, it looks just like a big ball of worms.
Well, I don't know this is the specific one, but this is high fiber twigs.
Yeah, no, that's, that's it.
it, I think.
High fibre twigs.
Yummy.
Breakfast choice.
Alexa, please add breakfast twigs to my shopping basket.
That's the best breakfast you could possibly start your day, and it looks like rabbit food.
Yeah, I used to have them.
I say used to have them.
I remember them being in the house precisely, maybe twice.
And it was when I was a child.
And whenever you tackled a bowl of it, you were like, yeah, now I'm grown up.
Now I'm ready to cove.
This is the big time I'm going to poo really easily.
And also I've had three mouthfuls and my jaw is so tired.
I just keep chewing and it won't end.
It just screams like ma'am breakfast to me for some reason.
So that's the cereal my man would choose.
Yeah.
To me it looks more like rather than twigs,
I kind of think it looks like meal worms,
which we sometimes buy for our garden birds,
like a little tiny brown curly worms.
That's what it looks like, just like that.
Nice.
Oh, it really does.
High fibre whirbs.
There's no dressing up, is there?
Sorry, I'm just rereading this box with more than six essential vitamins and minerals.
So how many is it then?
Seven then.
Seven, yeah.
We should probably tell some jokes, shouldn't we, really?
Maybe.
We should probably crack on.
But, hey, stick that in the thread.
Thanks, everyone who'd done it's to keep this podcast alive.
I hope it's worth it.
Have you guys seen chia seed pudding?
No.
Chea seed.
Isn't that the least appetizing thing you've ever seen?
Oh, God.
Oh, it's all knobbly.
Oh, God, it looks like...
Oh, every layer is horrible for a different reason.
God, it just looks like...
There's like snake skin in the middle,
gravel on top, and some sort of viscera.
It's like someone's trying to grow their own mushrooms in a jar.
It's got that same kind of weird texture.
Oh, God, no.
Dreadful.
What is this?
Where did you get this from?
Where it's on the Google image results
for Breakfast Twigs Fiber
and the headline from Pop Sugar UK
is,
Cheerseed pudding isn't just for breakfast.
Which implies that cheerseed pudding
can strike at any moment.
Horrifying.
When you least expect it.
Hello everybody and welcome to Poddiots, the official.
Twig.
Vidiates.
High fibre.
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 along to talk about.
My name's Ben.
And my name is Peter.
And I am Michael.
See, we changed it up a bit there.
I went with My Name Is instead of I'm Ben.
I am Ben.
Keeping it fresh.
The energy in the room right now. Can you feel that? Can you feel that? Not really.
Oh, I can. I'm just buzzing off this slight shift.
Buzzing your tits off over there.
I thought I was just having a stroke. It must be the energy in the room, I guess.
Well, are you thinking stroke? Because I'm told that's an important part.
Yeah. If you hit someone on a motorbike, think stroke.
Think stroke.
Because that's the excuse you can give to the police when they arrive.
You say, oh, well, sorry. Sorry for hitting that cyclist. I had a stroke.
My mind was preoccupied
Thinking stroke
Yeah this is a comedy podcast
Could you tell
Could you tell by the joke
About not only someone dying
In an accident
Getting hit by a car
As they cycle down the road
But also the driver of that car
Having had a stroke
Yeah
Did you enjoy it when we explained it
For a second time as well
Should I explain it one more time
I think Mike should explain it this time
Okay
Well you see
Strokes are bad
Right
That's it
That's all the explanation you need.
Okay.
Well, I feel like I've learned a lot.
Yeah.
Anyway, we here like to talk about some things that we've brought along.
We like to answer some listener questions, which are usually quite strange.
And we can do that because some very, very generous, wonderful peach pool.
Peach pits have decided to support us financially.
That's another breakfast, isn't it?
The peach pit.
The peach pits, yes.
And if you would like to support us, you can go to streamlabs.com forward slash potty.

Donna C-O-7 and the very generous Redworth. Oh, got him. Step on me, Big Daddy Ben. And also Redworth, who is genuinely very very
very, very generous this time, and they say,

Chega's Slovakia and Chega Slovakia.

I don't know.
This is an uprising.
The people of Czechoslovakia, which no longer exists, have got together to memorialize Keith Chegwin four times.
On the next episode, can we request that everyone,
is Chega Slovakia.
Yeah, see how many Chega Slovakies we can get for the next episode.
You know there'll be several different spellings as well, which is the best part.
Yeah, it's going to be good.
Anyway, I look forward to that.
I look forward to forgetting about that and then thinking I've gone insane when I see it.

Hi, hi, boys.
Long-time fan here.
Love the consistently great content.
Did you hear us talk about fiber twigs?
Just have interest.
Never fails to make me love.
Keep up the good work. Quick question. Who in the VCU is Allard's iPad and who is Jackie Weaver?
Oh, man. I'll give you guys a second to think about that while I polish these off.
There's also shit donation for Wankers who accidentally donated to the wrong donation link, but did let us know on Twitter, so we've corrected it.
And finally, shut up Cheggers, you're dead.
Oh, God.
That's a quote. We said that at some point.
Yeah, we did. We did. I'd be inclined to say that Alad's iPad is.
is Dick Machinko
just because of the sort of aggressive
shouting, but he's almost treated
as a bit of a hero in the VCU.
He's not, possibly an anti-hero,
but Alad's iPad is a true villain
of the meeting, I think.
Yeah, and that's true.
Psycho Segal, maybe, actually.
Oh, yeah, true chaos.
Yeah.
Who's like the true neutral
of the VCU to be Jackie Weaver,
to try and bring order to everything?
Someone who brings order.
Maybe Bobby.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely. Jeff is sort of keeps unfamiliar dogs away of the hat from the house.
Thank you everyone. That's your pod squad for this week, your tiny troop.
Your pumpy platoon. I definitely said plumpy platoon.
You did say plumpy platoon. It's just a complete slip of the tongue, but we weren't with it anyway.
We were old with it.
And it's quite frankly, I forgot what it was. So I just, yeah, that sounds right.
You're just like, yeah, that's the one. I remember saying that.
So yes, thank you everyone. That's your pod squad for this week.

At the end of the show as well
Peter just take the ball away from me
I am questioned
Boy or Girl this week
So I brought some questions along
From the patrons who have submitted them
via Twitter
Let's have one straight away from
Oh so this is the first one
I got by one is
We might have done this before, and if we have, I've got a backup question,
which, thinking about it, we might have also done before, but anyway, have we done
Dream Pancake.
Ooh.
Pancake toppings.
I don't know.
I feel like it might have been a conversation that we've had, but I can't remember it.
Me neither.
So we could just do that.
So AAA podcast with Alex and Sam at Podcast AAA on Twitter said, Dream Pancake, go.
at time of recording
it's only a couple of days since
Pancake Day
Shrove Tuesday
that we celebrate here in the UK
I've got to be honest
Did you guys do it?
I didn't eat any pancakes
on pancake day
I never do it I always forget
I see it on Twitter and it's like
well I'm home and I can't
Yeah and there's a lockdown on
So I'm not going to go out just for pancake mix
And I don't have the constituent parts in my house
Because we don't keep eggs here
I'm not ordering it in either
No
So I didn't
This time around
We're the authority on pancakes now
But if and when I do have pancakes
I've had savory pancakes before
I had those in Germany
I had like bacon and cheese
I've seen a few people with that
And it's like
Yeah it's just essentially
Like a floppy Yorkshire pudding isn't it
Yeah just whang a sausage in it right
You could put whatever you like in it
Because you kind of
To me before I'd had it
I thought
Is it gonna taste sort of sweet though
Like is it
But you know
That's only because you tend to have sweet
fillings on a sweet pancake.
If you have it without any
filling or topping,
it really doesn't, it's not strongly
sweet or savory, it's just batter.
So you can definitely have it
with savory stuff and it doesn't taste weird.
Gravy pancakes.
Is that an idea?
I do like gravy.
That would be nice.
I've had a savory crepe in France,
but I don't remember enjoying it very much.
But I, perhaps my palette was
unrefined and I just
wanted sweets.
I mean, I'd still rather, in terms of dream pancake, I wouldn't have the savory, but I'm just
saying, while we're talking about it, I have had savory pancakes, and they are nice.
But for me, my dream pancake, really, really basic bish pancake, I just put sugar on it or
icing sugar.
I don't put sugar and lemon on it.
I just put sugar on, and then I put loads on so that it's almost not dissolving into
the pancake anymore, and then eat it and enjoy it, and it's really nice.
then I die.
Your delicious, gritty, crunchy.
Yeah, maybe I don't put that much on
because I don't like crunchy, crunchy sugar.
But if you have icing sugar, you don't have the crunch.
Oh, yeah.
That's a decadent pancake.
It is.
I mean, it's quite expensive stuff, icing sugar, I think, by the pound.
But, you know, it's worth it.
It's worth it for that.
Taste delicious.
I never got onto the sugar hype train for pancakes
until literally like the last pancake day.
That's when I first had it.
I was like, oh, this is good.
Now I understand.
Yeah, it's all makes sense now.
My dream pancake is a nice, thick, fluffy.
I can't, well, I always opt for the fluffy pancakes
because I struggle to make crepes without just messing it up.
American style, right?
Yeah, big, big fluffy boys.
So fill that with some chocky chips.
Yeah.
Let them get all melty while they're cooking, nice,
and then slather it with a bit of chunky peanut butter on top.
Ooh.
Wasn't expecting the PB.
Oh, yeah, it's good.
Oh, this Biscoff spread is another contender.
Maybe I'd have like a two-partner, one with peanut butter, one with Biscoff spreading it.
Oh, yeah.
I've never had that, but I really like Biscoffs, so I think I'd like the spread.
It's spectacular.
It's, you can feel it clogging your arteries and it's glorious.
Just get a straw.
I think I once had some, someone once bought me a jar of custard cream filling, which was really nice, but also quite sickening.
That sounds terrible.
I don't remember what I ate it on, because I don't think, like, what would I have eaten it on?
I seem to remember enjoying it on something, but I don't know what it was.
Maybe you took apart some custard creams.
I just made my own with extra cream inside.
I mean, that's the best part of a custard cream, to be honest, is the custard cream.
So, yeah, maybe.
Wow.
I've never had a thick fluffy pancake.
I only really have crepes, crepes, yeah.
I'd recommend trying them.
Nice and easy to make.
What about you, Ben?
Ben, pancake filling.
when you have them, even though you don't have them on the Tuesday?
Yes.
Well, I also like a lemon and sugar, but again, I very rarely have the constituent
parts to make it.
I do, I think I've had it with golden syrup before, and that was delicious.
Golden syrup's a tried and tested.
That's a classic.
Can't go wrong with that.
You can't go wrong with that.
In fact, I've still got the golden syrup that I think we used for an episode of main menu
that's definitely out of date.
And I did use it after the, after the,
the date that I should have thrown it away, but it's fine.
It's just sugar, right?
How can that go bad?
Isn't golden syrup like honey in that it just never goes off?
It'll last forever.
Yeah, I think so.
You can like mummify Egyptian pharaohs in it and it's still edible.
Yes.
2,000 years later.
You can still eat the pharaoh.
All the amber find fossils and stuff in.
It's actually just golden syrup.
Yeah.
The dinosaurs loved it.
My God, this is a grand conspiracy.
What kind of post-1950s world are we living?
living in where me and Ben and presumably Mikey do not have either the constituent
parts of batter mix in our pantries or lemon juice or sugar in our houses.
It's flour, milk and eggs, isn't it?
Yeah, but I don't have those things.
Yeah, I don't have it.
I don't buy eggs.
I don't really eat.
I don't avoid eggs, but nor do I need eggs.
And I don't really need sugar either because I don't use it.
People used to have everything all the time in their house.
time in their houses unless they were obviously not very well off and just lived week to week.
But, you know, like middle class British families in the 50s would have a pantry.
They probably even had like plates of pastries just ready made, ready to go whenever you like one.
But they couldn't call Casper's and get them to deliver six waffles and three different slices of
different cakes.
That's true.
They couldn't get Domi Bops when they wanted to.
They just got diarrhea and died for different cakes.
different reasons. Yeah, just from drinking the water, I think. Yeah. I think pancakes are good,
though. Yeah. I've had them precisely once and they were very nice. I'll have to give them a go.
I need to learn to make crapes. I do miss crapes. It's just every time I try to, just an
exile in futility. It's just frustration and sadness and... I would find it quite entertaining
watching you try and make crapes, I think. I want to see you flip one.
oh man yeah
sink a dab
drop it on a ferret
sorry truffle back to the vetsy go on there
oh god
well brilliant
there we go
that's question one
who's brought a thing along
to talk about
I've got a thing
yeah
I think it's time to return to that
I hope you've always brought your bucket
it's time to return to that well
it's time for not real
but sometimes could be real news
Yes.
Fantastic.
Otherwise known as Not the Onion.
Paperstack.m.p3.
There's the wrong podcast there.
There you go.
Yeah, so there's the world's weird
and oftentimes a lot of news stories sound like they could have been written
for satirical news website, The Onion.
There's a subreddit dedicated to such news stories called Not the Onion.
And so I have got five headlines.
and you have to guess whether they are real stories
or whether they're fake stories from the onion
and I've disguised the headlines somewhat
sometimes not very well
they could be all real, could be all fake
could be a mixture, who knows, are you ready?
Yes.
I'm going to read you them one at a time
and then we'll go through and you can choose yes or no
wanted man hands himself into police
after getting fed up with the people he lives with.
That could be onion, but sounds real,
which I guess is the entire point of the game.
He's got it.
You've really captioned it there.
After seven episodes of Not the Onion, this is it.
I've worked it out.
It's finally clicked.
God, it makes sense now.
Man 32 offered COVID jab because NHS thought he was morbidly obese.
Okay.
I know that one.
Woman finds a snake in the toilet.
The police realize it's just a poo.
Oh, wow.
Please be true.
God, that would be amazing.
Four men get mouth ulcers after eating 30 kilograms of oranges at airport to avoid paying extra baggage fee.
Oh my God.
Why not just bin them?
You'd have to eat them.
So where's Peter?
And finally, teenagers offer free squirts of hand sanitiser, but it's super glue.
Oh, pranksters.
Right, are you ready?
Yeah.
So the first one, wanted man hands himself into police after getting fed up with the people he lives with.
I'm trying to think why you would do that.
Surely he could just go elsewhere.
Or maybe jail is his best bet.
It's just that bad.
I want to go back to Jill and be with you.
Alan, who smacks his mouth every time he eats.
As much as I can see this being true,
I can almost imagine the wording of the Onion article.
So I think I'm going to have to say Onion.
I'm going to go true.
I'm going to say it's true.
This is true.
Yes.
Oh, wow.
It's from the West Sussex County Times.
The original headline was Wanted Man hands himself into Sussex Police
for Peace and Peace and
quiet after getting fed up with people he lives with.
Wow.
The article doesn't really go into a great deal or a great amount of detail.
It just kind of repeats the headline over and over again, as local news tends to do.
But yeah, wanted man rang up officers at Burgess Hill police station to hand himself in because he was so fed up of spending time with the people he lived with.
Yeah, Brantney snapped off his tag.
He had broken his tag off, apparently, then turned himself in.
Amazing.
Brilliant.
Next up, this is the one Peter has heard of, and some of you may well have done as well.
A prominent fake story from the onion.
Man, 32, offered COVID jab because NHS thought he was morbidly obese.
I know this as well, and it is amazing.
So they thought that he was, they'd accidentally put his height into the system at like six.
centimeters and therefore based on his height and weight the computer had worked out that his BMI
put him in extremely morbidly obese because he was six centimeters tall and weighed as much
as a six foot man wasn't like a BMI of like 280,000 or something so he was offered a COVID jab so
the six centimeter man wouldn't die of COVID because he was so fat he's very high risk yeah because
of the clerical mix-up, doctors thought he had a body mass index of 28,000.
A BMI of 40 is considered morbidly obese.
What a unit.
I like the fact that he's still, even though 40 is morbidly obese, at 28,000, he's still classed as only morbidly obese.
Not just a new shape that we couldn't imagine.
The fourth dimension.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
It is brilliant.
It's a good story.
6.2 centimetres.
Just as I'm strutting into the doctor's office.
For reference, a BMI of 40 or more is considered morbidly obese.
So I'm not sure what this would have made me.
He says.
If I had been less stunned, I would have asked why no one was more concerned that a man of these remarkable dimensions
was slithering around South Liverpool.
Remarkable dimensions is poetry.
It's a great way to describe.
Slythering around South Liverpool is my favourite part of that centre.
Jesus.
What I like though is that he's been placed in Group 6.
And again, you know, the shape that he would have been for a BMI of 28,000,
and he's still not the highest risk person in the UK,
even though his existence is impossible.
two things
number one
how did they not
like how is
the only time
that this is like come up
that there's a man on the system
with a BMI of 28,000
is when it's jab time
like at no point
as like just the general
nutritional team thought
maybe we should offer this person some help
but also I quite like the idea
that this guy turned up
and they had a tiny little syringe
for a six centimeter man
ready for him
Oh dear
Tiny little needle
A little ramp to roll them out back
Yeah
Through the streets
Incredible
Anyway we ended up talking about that one
A lot which I'm glad we did
Because it is brilliant
Next story
Is it real or fake
Woman finds a snake in the toilet
The police realise it's just a poo
I'll say that
Of these three remaining stories
I know another one of them to be true
so I'm going to let Mikey go before me on every occasion.
Okay.
So he can work it out himself.
The thing is with these, it's always like with me, it's just wishful thinking.
I want this to be true more than anything.
And I'm going to stand by that.
I'm going to say this is true.
Just, I just want to imagine being that woman, the police come in the house.
Sorry, madam, that's your own droppings.
Oh, no.
I can never call the police again.
I don't know this one, and I hope that it's true.
so I'm going to say true to
The police hurried to her apartment
thinking how big of a snake can fit
in a toilet bowl and what would be the best
technique to use for the capture
when they arrived at the scene they found
the toilet lid covered by electronics the woman put
there to prevent the animal from escaping
to her flat
electronics
one of the police of
I'm thinking like a microwave or something
PS5
one of the police officers gathered up
gathered up courage it says
and lifted the lid with the device on it
as he didn't end up bitten
and no creature managed to escape from under the lid
the officers used a flashlight
to investigate the insides of the toilet bowl
what they found was by no means
a venomous snake even though the shape
of the object did share some similarity
disgusted by the brown finding
they decided to eliminate it by flushing
it to the place where such items
belong
wow
oh my god
do you know if this woman lived alone
I know
I don't you forget
you've done a poo
My dear
Where the mystery poo came from
It was actually
From the former Chega Slovakia
Actually
Oh
Oh was it
Yeah
Anyway I need to share with you guys
The
Photo of the poo
Nearly put it in Slack
Which wouldn't have been good
I don't think Adam wants to see that
This is a
These are the
Shop related products
That Amazon has provided
Halfway through this post
about poos and snakes.
Oh, thank God.
Oh.
Oh, God.
Oh, that's a fancy toilet seat.
So it's all toilet seat lids, except
Titan over monster snake,
which I guess is a movie about a giant snake,
and then also the Tigger movie.
Because it's Winnie the Pooh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, of course.
Wow.
What on Amazon.
And then like six pictures of toilet
seats.
Yeah.
One with a little
remote control
on the side.
Look at that.
What, the
Brondel Swash
SE 400?
That one, yeah.
That's a premium seat.
It fits
elongated toilets.
It fits
elongated toilets.
And it's only
$279.
Yeah, that's good,
isn't it?
Oh, that's really good.
See.
Next up we have
four men get
mouth ulcers
after eating
30 kilograms
of oranges at
airport to avoid
paying extra baggage
fee.
That's a lot of oranges.
I think just
physically, that
surely 30...
No, I'm not going to Google it
because I gave me the answer.
I was trying to get a diagram of 30 kilograms of oranges,
but I'm going to say true.
I can imagine someone being so stubborn.
I don't know why you take...
This is an airport, right?
Mm-hmm.
Why are you taking...
You can get oranges anywhere.
Okay.
The logic in here is so unsound,
but maybe that's what makes it so true.
I'm going to say true.
I'm going to say false,
because although...
I think this is why it's an onion article,
and I'd like to think maybe the wording has been changed,
because in its current form, it's not that clever as a fake article,
but you would maybe like neck your bottle of Coke
before going through airport security if you knew it was going to be binned.
But if you had loads of nose of oranges,
I'm all for not wasting stuff,
but I don't know if I'd eat that much,
just so I wasn't wasting it.
So I think it must be false and has maybe been slightly tweaked.
The incident occurred at an airport in Kunming,
southwest China's Yunnan province.
where four travellers ate 30 kilograms of oranges
in a record 30 minutes.
What?
You speed around oranges.
It sounds like it's kind of bollocks
because the article says,
not wanting to pay the extra fee,
which was much more than the price of their purchase,
the four colleagues reached a census,
reached a census,
to eat the fruits there and then.
It took them under 30 minutes to finish the box,
and then there's just a quote that says,
we just stood there and ate the whole thing up.
It took about 20 to 30 minutes?
Like, right.
So is it a record?
Did the guy just jemmy?
relies about the amount of time
just gave an estimate
weird thing is
they would then go through security
and board the plane with exactly the
same weight of what
it would have been if they'd just carried it through
yeah that's true
so oh that's strange
even though they try to stop them
the oranges still made it onto the plane
that's beautiful
they did and finally
we've got teenagers offer free squirts of
hand sanitizer but it's super
glue.
That, I'm going to lean towards onion because that just seems so, so cruel.
This is true.
It is true.
A man had to go to the doctors.
I think, maybe I'm conflating two stories here, but I think a man turned up at the doctors
with like a canvas bag stuck to one hand and like, you know, a shopping basket
stuck to the other or something like that.
I don't remember exactly how it went, but...
Ooh. So the headline is
teenagers offer free squirts of hand sanitizer
to shoppers in Bradford, but it's
super glue. A group of teenagers put superglue in a hand
sanitizer bottle and offered free squirts to shoppers in
Bradford, it says there, again, claims
a woman who narrowly avoided the trap.
The boys were reportedly stood outside Morrison's
supermarket at five lane ends yesterday
evening. They were spotted approaching
different shoppers in turn, offering them free
squirts from the branded hand sanitizer bottle.
Kathy Smith said she almost accepted
and has no doubts the boys with the bottle
would have squirted it on her hands
had she held them out
but she stopped short
when some from the group let out a laugh
the lad approached me showing me the bottle of sanitiser
asking if I would like a free pump
she said
he was eagerly waiting for me to hold my hand out
with a massive smile on his face
they all started to laugh
I asked what's in the bottle
he said
sanitiser while laughing
I heard one of the lads laughing
and he said
fucking super glue
they all walked off laughing
when I said
I'll pass thanks
Cathy was relieved
to avoid the trap
adding I'd have been
in Bradford Royal Infirmary
all night
all night
wow
yeah
that's
someone who recently
managed to stick
not only their fingers
together but also
stick the hand
to the glue
container not long ago
it's a nightmarish
experience
yeah
screw them
screw them the hell
however
we now go live to Les Cadbury's Finn Grez
who says, that's quite funny.
That's quite funny.
Thank you, Les Cadbury's Fingres.
That's quite funny.
But that's my thing.
There we go.
Those are all real news stories.
They're all true.
Oh, what a bumper week.
Jesus Christ.
It's the little man.
It's the tiny, tiny fat man.
I'm just, I'm looking up this story.
All I can see is Kathy's,
Kathy's report of what happened to
her in the supermarket. Now go live to Kathy.
I think the thing I'm talking about with the guy
who got like his hands stuck to a bag or something
must be something else. But yeah, there you go.
There's multiple fake sanitizers out there.
This is a pandemic and it must be stopped. These children are
unruly. The best thing is
I was scrolling through an article really quickly
about these kids like giving superglue to people.
and I've gone down to the bottom of the article and it says
Matt Hancock says he applauds the move
to Downing Street briefing
which is talking about
like the use of masks in shops and stuff
but it's all part of the same article
Wow, thank you very much Ben
are you welcome
question two
yes
this is from
Stephen Scodas
at S Scodas
Skoda's 8 on Twitter
They say you should live life without regrets
But what is your biggest regret?
Oh, deep question
Oh, Jesus Christ
Oh, shit, I need to think about this
I thought you're about to say something
So I was just paused
I've got
Actually, I came up with a better one than this
But this is the first one I came up with
Which is only sort of half true
I wish that I'd
like learn a trade maybe or something like a practical skill and I mean on balance I don't because I'm not
saying I'd rather be doing that than what I'm doing now like I'm glad that I'm here and doing
this but I think if I'd not fallen into this job um I don't know exactly what I'd be doing
I feel like I'd probably have ended up in some sort of depressing office job and so I always thought
like I almost wish that like I just actually left school and instead of going to uni gone
and like just just learned how to be like an electrician or something like that
because those people make a lot of money they they can quite often if they're successful
they can work for themselves there's always going to be a need for them you know it's
quite a good bit of work to be in if you you know if you're a plumber or you know
painter and decorator um plasterer I kind of think like hey that's in some ways that's
the way to go I think it's you know it depends depends if you find it fulfilling and a lot
people do. And if you do, then, hey, perfect. Electrician's always been like, in, like, literally
like forever in the back of my head, like, yeah, if it all goes tits up, I'll probably learn to
be an electrician because it does seem kind of fun. Yeah. Like I say, it was kind of a, it's not quite
my real answer, because it's not a regret as such, but it's something, yeah, it's something I wish I'd
maybe done or certainly something I would have done if things hadn't gone a different way. But the,
the one I was thinking of actually was I wish at school I'd maybe taken things actually not
quite as seriously as I did like I'm glad that I did enough to kind of get grades that I'm pleased
with and like I got into a uni that I enjoyed and because I got into that uni it's probably
indirectly how I ended up at what culture and therefore how I ended up here and all those
sorts of things. So, you know, it's all butterfly effect. But at the same time, I think I was a bit
of a, a bit of a, I wasn't a teacher's pet at school, but I was like a bit of a dweeb, like a kind of
thought that it really, really mattered. Like everything, every day was like quite important. And I feel
like I could have had just a bit more fun and just, you know, taking it a bit less seriously and still
come out with grades they I was happy with, but without being such a swat, possibly.
I don't even remember how many GCSEs I've got now.
It's so irrelevant now.
Have you lost some?
Probably, I mean, they've all fallen out my brain at this point, haven't they?
Yeah, I don't remember how to solve equations anymore.
No, maths is scary.
But that's kind of the point.
I feel like I could have had a lot more fun at school.
Yeah.
Well, for what it's worth, I don't think anybody looks back on school thinking,
man, I had fun there.
I did it right.
I did school correct.
Yeah.
No, that's true.
But I definitely, if I could go back, or, you know, if I woke up as a 13-year-old with all of my memories, then I'd be like, right, I'm not taking this crap seriously.
See you later.
It'd be the fucking coolest 13-year-old ever.
Yeah.
Fuck you teach.
We don't want your comments here more like.
Yay!
Yeah.
Might be my biggest regret, but it's hard to think of them, really, sometimes.
Yeah.
I think I know my biggest regret, and it's a strong one.
Oh.
One night, I think it was been like my 20th birthday or something.
I mean, a friend was walking around Newcastle at night,
and we were approaching the monument, the big old monument in the center of town.
And there was a bunch of skateboarders there,
doing some mad stunts off their pedal boards.
Pedal boards.
And I mean, it could have been more regretful,
but as a fun little birthday treat,
we went up and asked them if they could ollie over me.
No
So it almost ended with me losing my head
But it was fun
So I didn't realize that when we asked them to do this
They'd both do it one after the other
Like directly afterwards
I was mentally prepared for just
Oh one Ollie Bob's your uncle
Get out of there, good
So there's a video of this
But there's me lying down on the steps
The first guy just Ollie's over me
And then the moment he clears me
I start to pick up my head
As just this other skateboard
is careering towards me.
Thank God he's got control of the board
and he stops in time.
He looks like he's like,
Jesus Christ, what are you doing?
I just wish I'd stay the fuck down
and I got the sickest video ever
of two people doing Ollie's over me
rather than just the lousy one Ollie I got.
If your biggest regret is there only one person
ollied over you, that's a pretty good life you've lived.
Fuck.
God.
Well, I don't know if I can necessarily pinpoint the one biggest regret of my entire life
because I'm still living it and making mistakes every day.
But I've certainly, as a lot of people have, I would imagine, stupid boys, right?
Just don't pick up on cues from women sometimes.
That's happened on a number of occasions where I've just not.
not picked up the signals at all,
and then years after the fact you sit up in bed at night
and you're like, oh, fuck, oh, okay.
Oh, what an idiot.
What an idiot.
I can see very clear points in my life where it would have, like,
there would have been a very different path for me
based on missed signals and misunderstood signals.
But it's not something I dwell on because I don't give a fuck, yo.
but if I was to just pick one random thing
as I think I mentioned it on here before
it would be when I was in primary school
and somehow through various connections
we had a tiny walking with dinosaurs music
at my primary school
and they wanted to take a photo for the local newspaper
and because my mum was quite involved in making it happen
I was someone came to the school canteen
and said oh could you come to the tiny walking with
dinosaurs room please to take a photo and was it wait was it a room or was it outdoors it was a little
room inside there was because there was a there was a dinosaur there was some dinosaur footprints found
at a local quarry oh and so we we had like a mold of that and then we had like a walking with dinosaurs
prop and so remember this story mike it ends in tragedy yeah it does end in tragedy i'm getting i'm
getting vague memories but i'm excited for the thrilling end well the thrilling end is that i sprint
I sprinted my little heart out from the canteen
which was like a big porter cabin thing
through the playground
and then into the building
where the room was only to be told
oh it's okay it's too late we've taken the photo now
and it stuck with me and kept me up at night for weeks
like I would cry and I'd feel really sad
because I missed out. It's my biggest regret in life
that is a biggie. It's not being in that local newspaper
with the dead dog.
dinosaur, the fake dead dinosaur.
Fair enough, I'm with you.
That's my biggest regret is that you didn't make it to that photo.
Thank you, Peter.
That does actually make me feel better a little bit.
Does this still have the display at the school?
I hope so.
No, it's long gone.
That building has since been turned into housing and it became a music room for a bit.
I don't really know how long they thought they could keep a fake half-eaten dinosaur in a room
and justify that space existing while the students needed a place to study.
That's amazing.
There we are.
I regret not going to a school with a sick dinosaur room now.
What the hell?
It's pretty cool.
It wasn't there for long and I didn't get a photo in it, so I've got no evidence.
Yeah, that's true.
You could be making this up.
Yeah, I call bullshit.
That's not, I didn't know.
If I can find anything on Google while we continue.
Right, well, it's time for a thing.
Mikey, would you like to go next or should I?
I would love to dive in with my thing.
Oh, go.
So I've got a fun little story of insurance fraud and attempted murder.
Oh, lovely.
I love bringing along lighthearted lovely stories to just entertain and make the children smile.
This is, well, I mean, it's the thing.
We're talking about anything in the past.
It's inevitably going to have death in it somewhere, but this is a fun one, I promise.
Killing a man who spends his days completely out of his mind drunk in order to claim a life,
insurance payout doesn't sound that hard, surely. Turns out, when that man is Michael Malloy,
it can prove to be a tricky endeavor. Oh, Michael Malloy. Mikey. Mikey Maloy. Mr. Malloy had many
nicknames, and you'll soon understand how they came about. The names included Mike the durable,
which I like. Iron Mike, the Irish Rasputin, and the juggernaut. Oh, I like that one.
And bear in mind, this is like in the 1930s.
It's like these are some, this is like some badass names for the time as well.
So this plot was conceived over a round of drinks one afternoon in July 1932 in the Bronx.
Francis Pasquhar, Daniel Kreisberg and Tony Marino sat in Marino's eponymous speak easy
and raised their glasses sealing their commitment to the job, figuring it was already half-finished.
Every morning, the old man showed up at Marino's place in the Bronx and requested,
another morning's morning if you don't mind
what was that accent Michael
I'm just gonna say
he's Irish
Pretty good
Irish originally
I can't
I'll channel my inner Dave
Oh okay
I'm not I'm not gonna do the accent
You're just gonna leave that there
Tucks
That's
There we go
And hours later
He would pass out on the floor
For a while
Marino had let Molloy drink on credit
But he no longer paid his tabs
Business
The Saloon Keeper confided to his
who accomplices is bad.
No one knew much about Malloy, and it seemed he didn't have much grasp on himself either.
No friends, no family, no definitive date of birth, and no job beyond occasionally sweeping
floors or collecting garbage.
And even when he did have a job, he was usually happy just to be paid in booze.
This is a strong man, strong man.
Why don't you take out insurance on Malloy?
Pasquare asked Marino.
I can take care of the rest.
Pasquard had pulled off a scheme like this the year before without incident
and Marino nodded
and a chain of events were set into motion that would earn Maloy
his title of The Man Who Wouldn't Die
It's like a James Bond film title
The Man Who Wouldn't die, the bus that wouldn't slow down
A life insurance policy was set up
which would pay out $3,576 to be split between the men
and today's money that's about $54,000
That's a pretty hefty chunk of change.
Yeah.
So to Lul Molloy Inn, Marino offered him an open bar, an open-ended bar tap, which Maloy indulged
in with glee.
Even after several days of excessive drinking, each morning, Maloy would stumble back into
the bar as he ever would, exclaiming, boy in, I got a thirst.
He's great.
I love this guy.
He's got a little quote, so he sounds like a right character.
I love him.
It was clear that this extra alcohol intake wouldn't.
wasn't having an impact.
They began to grow impatient.
I guess the plan here was to let him drink himself to death,
but I think he's got an eye in stomach at this point,
and nothing can penetrate that.
One of the men suggested shooting him in their head instead,
but Murphy suggested something more subtle.
They'd replace his usual drinks with wood alcohol,
which is essentially, like it's like super high percentage, pure, unfiltered as alcohol.
Jesus.
So drinks containing 4% of water alcohol were capable of causing blindness in the normal human.
So surely serving shot after shot of this pure alcohol would do the trick.
And so the gang watched.
I like the gang watch.
See it sounds like an all of a sunny episode.
The gang watched fascinated as Malloy downed several shots and just kept asking for more and more and more,
displaying no physical symptoms other than those typical of inebriation.
He'd drink every last drop that he was given and would return for more night after night.
Unbelievable.
For days, this went on.
One night, he passed out in the middle of the bar and laid unconscious for several hours.
They waited with bated breath before he awoke, exclaiming,
Give me some more the old regular me, lad.
Some of that poison.
You got any more of that poison?
Oh, it's good, yeah.
at this point
the plan was becoming
cost prohibitive
with the bar tab
and all the money
they were spending
on this alcohol
it may as well
you know
just cash out of this point
yeah
next
they tried putting
oysters in denatured alcohol
this is a weird one
the idea apparently
coming from Pasquois
who claimed he saw a man die
after eating oysters
with whiskey
which I for God's sake
it's a far-fetched one
but they tried it
but he washed down
oyster after
oyster with yet more wood alcohol, and he licked his fingers clean after the meal was done.
He must have thought, like, oh, these guys are great. I don't know why they're giving me so
much stuff, but I'm really enjoying it. Oysters shot after shot, yeah. I mean, what a tree.
Free bar time. Oh, yeah, and it's slightly warm, stingy alcohol, but it makes me feel good.
The next plan, this is probably the most brutal one, the next plan was to let a tin of sardines go
rotten and make a sandwich out of them.
But for good measure, they added some metal shrapnel into the sandwich for good measure.
He buffed down the sandwich and merrily asked for another.
This guy.
The gang were getting distressed.
It is amazing.
I just don't know how he can eat a sandwich with metal in it and not notice.
Probably is all that wood alcohol.
He's drinking.
Yeah, he must have been pissed again.
The gang were getting even more distressed and held an emergency conference.
conference. They decided upon leaving him outside during a frosty night covered in water so that he'd freeze. They dragged him out to a local park and throughout the entire process of dragging him to this park, he didn't stir once. He was just unconscious. The next morning, they returned to the bar to find Malloy, half frozen in the basement. He'd managed to trek the half mile back to the bar and persuaded someone to let him in. And when he finally came to, he complained of a wee chill.
And now they were getting really desperate and decided to take drastic measure.
Running him over with a car would be the best bet.
Been there.
They shoved Malloy.
It's like, you ramp it up and he's, well, you'll see what happens.
Malloy gets hit by a car.
Oh, break next speed as well.
They shoved him into a cab who they've just basically found a random cab driver, paid him $150
and just said, here, do this with us. Okay, so they shoved him into this car, found a road,
propped him up in the middle of the street, and they gunned the engine. And Malloy managed to jump
out of the way of the vehicle, not once, but twice. Who is this guy? It's completely,
it's a Jason born, Jesus Christ. Twice he managed to evade a car in this, in a state where
you can barely walk, to be honest. I hope after this point he realizes,
they're trying to kill him, because surely by now.
Yeah, I mean he just doesn't see faces.
Everything's just a blur to him at this point.
Yeah.
So on the third attempt, they really gunned it.
They raced towards him at 50 miles an hour,
and this time they hit him.
But for good measure, they backed the car over the man,
once again, just to make sure the car was done.
But before they could check the body,
another car spooked them,
and so they sped off and fled the scene.
But they were pretty confident at this point,
that he's got to be dead right right so the next day they started calling around hospitals and
morgues for confirmation of a job well done but there was nothing no sign of him anywhere
and after five days of checking and no news they just started a whole new plot to just kill a
random man and pass them off as malo and it was at this time the door to marino's bar swung
open and there was a
limping, battered and bandaged
Malloy. With a tire mark across
his face.
I mean, he must have gone through
he looked rough. He'd been in the hospital.
He was bandaged. He was
like a Looney Tunes
cartoon. He was a hero. Yeah. And his
first words were, I sure
am dying for a drink.
Oh, Malloy.
Classic Malloy.
What's he like?
He's incredible, Ben. He's the
ultimate man.
You reckon he's still going?
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely, he's still going to this day.
I mean, well, he's not.
There's a sad final chapter.
Oh, no.
We can just end it there.
We can end it there.
Should we just end it pretending that he's still alive?
And he's still in that bar today.
And he's joining the Discord call right now.
Oh.
Here he is.
Anybody like a tuck?
No, that's him.
It's a good ending stinger, I think.
He just marches in.
I'm dying for a drink.
Classic.
No, nah, nah, nah. Hey.
Brilliant. Michael Malloy, a legend.
I'm going to leave it there.
No, no. If you want to find out what actually happened, then you can Google it.
I'm here to spread joy in happiness, and Michael Malloy dying is not part of that, damn it.
No, he's still alive to us.
Yeah.
He's got little Malloyites, his little children who also exist on meals existing solely of oysters and metaly sandwiches.
I love that they started out
by trying to do it subtly
like make him drink himself to death
and by the end they were like
fuck it just run him over twice
you know back the car over him
three times
it's impressive
the perfect crime
very impressive
time for a question
from the audience
this is from
which one should we do
I've got two here
okay
it's from Ianto Roberts
who says
What subject or subjects did you hate the most in school and why?
Any particular reason? Question mark.
It's quite a school-heavy episode today, actually.
Ooh, I like it.
Man, what did you hate at school?
I mean, a P.E. goes without saying, surely.
Cross-country, hated that.
Oh, I think I had that as a lesson.
Yeah, no, screw that.
That's just torture.
P.E.
Yeah, I did P.E., but I don't think cross-country is a lesson.
No, just specifying cross-country itself.
But, yeah, P.E. broadly.
Ben doesn't have a G.
I'm not even qualified for cross country. No one taught me how. I didn't hate P.E. I hated maths. Hated maths.
Did not enjoy that at all. I don't think I had a single inspiring or friendly or just pleasant in any way teacher working in the mathematics department at my school. Not that that would have helped because I find maths inherently very off-putting.
And I got my B and I got out of there and that was it.
Thank you very much.
But yeah, I didn't like maths.
And I can't really think of any other subject that inspired such hatred or this is going to be a bad day because I have maths today.
Yeah.
I mean, I didn't like maths.
But actually the teachers who taught it in my school were actually, they were quite nice.
like in secondary school they were.
Yeah, I wish I'd done more, well, paid more attention to history in school.
It just wasn't drawing me in.
It's a shame because I'm quite interested in it now.
And I had it served me on a plateau all those years ago.
Yeah, yeah, I'm the same.
But they don't, in my opinion, like some of the stuff they teach you in school is not as interesting as, you know,
if they told us about, like, the Irish Rasputin, I'd be up for that.
I think, is this a class?
anyone else had, but thinking
studies.
We had to do critical
thinking. Yeah, I think it's
a similar kind of thing.
Thinking studies. Yeah, it's
it's, it's, I, it was
in secretary school and I think
we had it from like year 7 till 9,
so it was a pretty large part
of school life, or saying that, it was like
an hour every two weeks. It wasn't, it wasn't like
a GCSE with an exam or anything. It was just like a little
extra booster class. It was essentially a class
So it was like, here's different ways that you can learn and different ways.
Are you a kinetic learner?
Oh, right.
Are you an auditory learner?
Or you visual learner?
And it was just the same stuff retread week after week after week.
Yeah, I can imagine you probably can't fill a year on that.
I hated all that stuff.
Like, oh, we've taken a test.
You're more of like a visual learner.
You're more of a practical learner.
And it's like, well, that's fucking great to know, I suppose.
Back to book studying.
Yeah.
You teach everyone the same.
This does not inform how you're teaching me at all.
Look at this is how you'd best learn things.
We're going to ignore this.
Yeah.
Why dedicate a whole lesson to just highlighting that every fortnight?
There was one particular lesson.
That was pretty good where we designed our own deep sea creature.
Wow.
That sounds pretty cool, actually.
That was some sick thinking skills.
Yeah.
For the first, like, I think three years of our school,
we had to, for like, a period of like six,
or eight weeks or something,
we had to do dance,
it was like a compulsory subject.
You would like rotate around different arts.
So you would like do eight weeks of drama,
eight weeks of dance,
eight weeks of something else.
Like, well, not music,
because that was all year round.
But like, there were different things.
And I remember despising dance with everything,
you know,
just because like most of us were rubbish at it.
We weren't athletic enough
or flexible enough, I guess,
or graceful enough.
You know, irrespective of whether you enjoy,
it or you know it's nothing to do with i'm a boy it's just i just wasn't good at it and neither was
almost anyone in my entire class so we all just had to sort of like we did something to saturday night
fever which was just just the best can you imagine that pay any amount of money to see that i know well
i think i would to be honest i'd love to see a video of me doing it but it doesn't exist um fortunately
you've just awoke with the dance thing you've awoken one of my deeply deeply pushed back memories
for some reason at some point our primary school brought in like this it wasn't like an official
school thing it was like an external body who I guess they paid to come in and teach us how to do
hip-hop dancing wow culminated in like an orchestrated dance of an entire class in front of the
whole school and I was in that oh brilliant
wearing a red Yankees cap being the best hip hopper bit bopper that you've ever seen
oh that was good i wish there was photos of that it was actually genuinely good fun but
embarrassing is all hell to look back on but we're in it together so that's what made it
fine fantastic well lots of happy memories revisited yay yay um now time for a strange news story that
I don't think this one was sent to me.
Sometimes people DM stuff to me,
but this goes back to the 23rd of January.
So it's a few weeks old.
And I've had a quick look through my, like, Twitter DMs.
It doesn't seem to be in there.
It might have been something someone added me in,
but I, you know, I have to go through all my mentions and stuff.
So sorry if someone sent this to me.
It might be something I just saw in, like, trending or whatever.
But in any case, here it is.
This is according to The Polk.
this bad sex award nominee went viral
and it's truly the best bad sex we've ever read
Wow
So this is not real sex
It's literary sex
This is someone's sex scene from a book that they've written
And it was a nominee for an award
This is by John Plunkett
Oh
I don't know if they're related to Luke Plunkett
Or not, but he's to say
So, the literary reviews Bad Sex Award has been going for some time now
and was founded to draw attention to the poorly written, redundant,
or downright cringeworthy passages of sexual description in modern fiction.
We only mention this because a nominee from 2014 has suddenly gone viral all over again
and it really is the best bad sex we've ever read.
The worst thing about it might be that it didn't actually win that year,
which is even better.
So it went viral after it was shared by at F.E. May on Twitter, and, well, have a read of this.
So they then enclosed the snippet that was nominated.
I'm just going to read the next paragraph, though, in the article, because author Jonathan Grimwood wasn't happy about being nominated, however,
and the good news about his extraordinary prose is it did give rise to the greatest headline ever.
So the headline, according to the Independent, was,
Bad Sex Award is idiotic
says angry author
nominated for scene
where food critic sucks
brie off wet nurse's nipple
spectacular
wow
it says underneath
that headline
was a wild adventure
from start to finish
really paints a very vivid picture
I don't think it paints a vivid enough picture
of what we're about to hear
now this is very this is like explicit
it's not just about nipples
like it gets really, it gets a bit kinky.
Is it about bot-bots as well?
Proceed with caution and hide your kids,
hide your wife's or husbands.
So this is from The Last Banquet by Jonathan Grimwood.
Reaching behind me, I found debris and broke off a fragment,
sucking her nipple through it.
She tasted almost as she had the day I took the drop of milk on my finger.
Manon smiled when she realized what I was.
doing. Do you know the peasant saying, if you can't imagine how neighbouring vineyards can produce such
different wines, put one finger in your woman's quim and another up her ass and then taste both
and stop asking stupid questions. Jesus Christ. What? My fingers found both vineyards. At the front,
she tasted salt as anchovy and as delicious. At the rear, bitter like chocolate and smelling strangely
be of tobacco.
No.
No.
Thank you, Jonathan, for that.
What a lovely description of your sex.
The best thing is, though, in the article it says,
just a few of the things people were saying about it on Twitter are below.
And one of my favourites is the second one by Daniel Nolan at Dan J. Nolan,
who says,
What's always made me about this is not the vineyards or even Quim,
but the notion that it's possible to break off a fragment of breaking.
I was thinking that
We spoke all about cheese at the end of the last episode
Not a crumbly cheese
It's not
It's the kind you can
You can suck a nipple through
But not a fragment
You can't break off a fray
You can't snap off a bit of brie
You just sort of like mush it
Yeah
The other
Twitter comments are
What a terrible day to know how to read
That's a tweet all the way from
Sao Paulo Brazil
Oh wow
very much this
I don't think the author has ever had
Brie or sex for that matter
or wine
author Ali Rose on Twitter
says well I can never enjoy
brie milk chocolate or tobacco
ever again
which is true
three favourite things
yeah
and language didn't spend all those years
evolving so he could do this
it is a real desecration
of every word of the English language
But there you go
Just a quick bit of weird sex for you there
God knows what won that year
Oh my God, yeah
What could be worse than that
I'm now trying to rattle
Like to rattle my brain
Trying to think of the sexiest cheese
Oh God
Is it
Like a cheese string
Maybe
Yeah
I suppose so
It's just
It's versatile
It's versatile
No cheese is sexy
But there's definitely one cheese
That's sexy than all the rest
Must be, yeah, by definition
What's the least sexy cheese?
Oh, that probably that one with like worms in it,
living worms.
Oh, we've seen that one.
No, I went straight to stilton.
Oh, yeah, wormy cheese.
Yeah, God.
Horrible.
Wonderful.
Well, it's time for a question to wrap us up.
Hey, thank you, Peter, for sharing.
Kieran Marshall says,
At Shurikam, 299, but the I is a one.
I know it's not an M
Yeah, it's Shuriken
I thought it was like
Shurikam
because I misread it
But anyway, whatever
It doesn't matter
Kieran Marshall
Says
Oh no
You've got an infinity gauntlet
What powers do your six
Infinity stones have
And or what happens
When you snap your fingers
So I think we have to design
The Vidiots
Literally the VCU
Infinity Gauntlet
It's about time
I mean surely
somewhere in there
there's got to be like
the Fart Stone
right?
Yes
Of course
Of course
That'll be the green one
The green one
A bit much for me
There's a bit much
In
It might be
I can't remember if it's the first one
Or the second one
It might be
Infinity War
I think it might be
That one
Maybe his end game
Either way
He uses the reality gem
And he turns
I think he turns
Like their gunfire
into bubbles
and like he turned
he like makes them go all stringy
and like collapse on the floor
and it's weird
maybe we could have like
a Babylonie stone
where you just
you can just inflate anyone
or anything
in a balloon type fashion
and then it will twist
into a humorous shape
as well
Sponge man or whatever
Spider guy
yeah
the bubble stone
perfect
maybe the Margaret stone
just that will
you can just make the Margaret sound
that's all it does
it's like a cracked stone
it only says Mark
yeah it never quite completes the word
that's what the snap is
you finally get the full Margaret
and that's when some
astonishing event unfolds
I like the idea of just being able to
deploy cars from your fist
to run Peter over with
oh god okay
yeah
that could work Chevrolet Matiz stone
Oh, very good
Yeah
In deploying a car
Do I also instantly get covered in bubble wrap
It's all one power
Wherever you are in the world
You are summoned
In the path of that car
God not again
Every time
How many stones have we got
So we've got Fart Stone
We've got Babylonie stone
We've got Marg stone
We've got Car Stone
So we need two more
how about the lot better parent stone
where anyone that you direct it at
regardless of their circumstances
they could have been a lot better parent
and they feel but it just rewrites their entire history
you know
yeah like it like it suddenly a parent
and they could have been better at it
yeah despite the happy relationship
they actually had growing up with their child
suddenly they have all these memories in their head
of like not being that good
yeah
yeah
I think with all these
exciting activities
we're going to get hungry
so I want one of the stones
to just summon the worst games ever meal
oh perfect yeah
why not
the nugget stone
oh the smiley stone
summons a barrage of
lovely fluffy roughy potatoes
I think
when you click your fingers
and it says
the full margaret
as the accompanying sound effect
instantly
Dick and Dominda Bungalow
and Get Your Own Back
are reslated
for national viewing
they're brought back
from the dead
exclusive to Dave
yeah
because I feel like that's where they would be
now
yeah that's a good point actually
why haven't Dave done that
why haven't Dave done that
yeah I don't know
got Dave Benson on there
yeah the Crystal Maze and Robot Wars have come back
bring back
Dick and Dom
