you might remember last week, the topic of my childhood favorite thing, a debt hall bath got brought up and we learned that Ben this entire time thought it was a literal bath filled with Detail. Yeah. I think that's a fair mistake. It is, it is. It's fair enough.

There wasn't enough context. But a kind person on Twitter, Mr. Matthew Hughes, has done some... I think of the recipe. Ten gallons of detol, that's it. Don't forget to close the plug. He's done some debtor maths for us to figure out the cost of actually having a pure debtor bath experience.

Does that include medical bills or not? From being knocked out unconscious. How much is St. John Ambulance? He says, the average bathtub can hold 80 litres. Tesco sell detol liquid at 350 for 750 for 750. milliliters, which works out of 466 per litre. So assuming you half-filled the bathtub, it would cost you 186 pound and 66p per debt-old bath. Very costly brick to the head to that. I like to think my mom had the hookup to like wholesale debt all prices. Yeah, surely you can

get them in barrels or something. Brilliant. I'm just looking up spa days. So how much for a death-old bath again? 186 pound and 66 pence 186 well see you could have a spa day for two with Virgin Experience for 119 pounds and that includes it at all that's a that's a bargain well I don't know if it does that's the thing

that's the thing I would have thought you know what about a Moroccan spa day 165 pounds oh a hummus bath yes that's what that is yeah oh wow there's news stories about people who bathe and death all It's not just me. Is there really?

Is it like a legit detol bath or is it that, you know, diluted shit that you're on about? I think this is diluted nonsense. Wow. Detail bath. This is, I mean, this is not a news website. This is green lemon. Dot me, which almost sounds like a very wonky website. The green lemon party.

I do like it. This is an entire article based upon a single Facebook post in a random Facebook group. How, uh, sorry, how much was a Savlan antisept, a, a, a, a, a eight six. 186 quid. If you used Savlon antiseptic liquid, it would cost you 239 pounds. Ooh, that's a premium one. It's the premium one, yeah. A market, wow. I didn't realize there was, wow, I didn't realize Savlon was like, in liquid form. Wow. Oh my God. That's amazing. I wonder how much it would cost to bathe in half a tub of Savlon cream.

Worth every penny. Mum, 33, says having bath with Detol in once a week helps keep skin, and I quote, So fresh. So fresh. So fresh. Burns off the top layer of your skin. Does anyone else bathe a bath, it says, in Detol? Makes you feel so fresh.

I love it, lull, she said, when sharing her top tip online. This is from the mirror. by the way. So she's not even been bricked. She's just doing it just because. Not even been bricked. Yeah. Just a poser.

It cleans grazes and it's really refreshing. I love a detol bath. You won't beat it. Really refreshing. It's not a mehito. Jesus. What's going on? She later told Mail Online that she also uses the formula to help her son get clean

if he's been out playing and gets filthy or grazes his knees and elbows. I found the word. one yet. Only ever have a Dettel bath. If anyone in the family has a stomach bug, we will all have one. What? Just through osmosis you absorb it and it fixes your tummy bug.

Someone reacted to this mum's announcement online and said wouldn't like to bath in Dettol. Who would want to smell off Dettol? Certainly not me. I use it on my floors. Fair enough.

I don't want to smell like floors. You? No, she's got a point there. Wow. God. There you go. Some dental facts to open up the episode. Good stuff. We're here. All right. Should we move on? Yeah. Hello everybody and welcome to Poddy. It's the official video. 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.

I'm Ben. I'm Peter. And I stink of floors. I'm Michael. Oh. You smell a floor. Look a floor boy over here. Flored.

How are you all doing? Pretty good, thanks. Yeah. Now that you know how much a Detail Bath costs, are you interested in like up in your dosage or whatever the rekindling your relationship with death off. There's a bit of me that wants to try a pure dettle bath. Is that medically advisable could that like permanently ruin my skin or would it

leave me feeling so fresh and so clean? It would last a lifetime. There was a video, wasn't there, of some idiot YouTuber who probably has six million subscribers who had a bath in bleach. Do you remember that? Oh my God, no. And he like jumped out and he thought that he could then just like, wash it off in the shower, but it sort of cuts from like one to the...

It might have been a vine or something, actually, and he's just going like pinker and pinker, and then he's like, on the phone to 911, God knows how much it will have cost him, because I don't think your insurance covers getting in a bath of bleach. And I don't know what happened to him. Maybe he died. No, he probably didn't. But, you know, it's like chemical burns, really. Wow, that's hardcore.

You wouldn't be the first to do it, Mikey. I'm not going to bother I'm not the first and if someone's going to better than me God I know how do I do a bleach bath God so that's an actual thing is it

that's for hair though it looks like all the results are for hair I can't find the man who went pink I'll do a Google yeah let us know while you're doing that I would like to thank

I've got a collection of questions. Would you like to hear one? Yes, please. This one comes from Stephen Norris, agent of GRRL, at Stephen Noree, Stephen underscore Norry on the Twitters. And he wants to know, we all know the moon is made from cheese. But what are the other planets made from? Is Mars made of overly sweet chocolate bars? is Venus made from leg-shaving equipment

that is always pink for some reason and dare we ask what Uranus is made of? Oh, okay. I'm almost picturing Jupiter. It's juniper that like genes flavored with, right? Yeah. It's a battery. I should have got my planet facts, right?

It's a gas giant. Okay, so it's made with juniper gas. Right. You land there and you instantly intoxicated. and you stink of stinky, stinky gin. Sounds like you die there. That sounds great. You're just surrounded by intoxicating gases.

Actually, I guess it's not actually gin. It's just the juniper. Oh, I've screwed up. Well, maybe it's core is made of like pure alcohol, pure ethanol or something in it. Yeah. It distills out to the outer reaches. So the deeper in the drunker you get,

just by breathing. What a holiday. I think Mercury, now hear me out, is made of Marie Curie. just loads of just kind of it's Maricuree manifest just the entire planet

is Maricuri Nobel Prize winner and discoverer of radiation yeah yeah it is and actually when we're not looking it's actually got a giant face of Marie Curie on it

looking at Earth at all times like the moon off of the bear in the big blue house it's all very sterile on that way website, that planet. I forgot the word there. Yeah, I like it. Yeah. I just Googled planets to remind myself. And there's more dwarf planets in our solar system than I used to know about. That's mad. Yeah, there's like four or five on there, I think. Four of four of four of four. Got one called Eris and another called like Macie Mackey Mackey.

Macie, Macie. Well, that's made of McDonald's, probably made of nuggets. So a child says when it wants McDonald's, Mackey, Mackey, Mackey. I've just googled what the moon tastes of Oh yeah Apparently It has the taste of To me Gunpowder

And the smell of gunpowder too That's what it says on a NASA website It tastes to me So someone brought back Moon Rock And had it stuck it in the gov Yeah this is But they did react It is really a strong smell

radioed Apollo 16 pilot Charlie Duke. It has that taste to me of gunpowder and the smell of gunpowder too. On the next mission, Apollo 17, Gene Cernan, perhaps, remarked, smells like someone just fired a carbine in here, which is probably the most American reaction to going to the moon that I've heard. Smell like guns. Oh my God, that's amazing. Well, it's some gunpowder smell.

That's kind of cool. So you can't eat that, probably. No. No. Mars is definitely a Mars bar though Yeah it's got to be In my mind I think And I'm impressed with the Venus one

I think that's got to be Women's yeah that's a good Yeah I think that one's been answered for us I couldn't even begin to imagine what Earth tastes like I only imagine that Well some people eat mud don't they Right that's a thing that some people can Yeah it's an illness right

They just start eating mud It's like a parasite or something like that Have you ever eaten mud yourself? Not intentionally no I feel like I've definitely stuck some of my goal before as a child. I mean, because, of course. Well, yeah, you've got to try it, haven't you?

That's what the death's all baths for. Yeah. It's just, yeah, a dental mouth bath afterwards, and you sort you right out. Apparently, space has a smell, and I don't really understand how that works, because surely it's a vacuum, but they're, I've, I've heard about this before that space has a smell, and they're saying it's like hot metal and seared meats. Mmm. It's like a barbecue.

Yeah. Oh, adorable. And that's based on things reported by people on, like, spacewalks and stuff, astronauts. I was worrying that a smell can permeate a space seat, though. Yeah, it is. I'd be really, really concerned. That's very weird. Oh, there we go.

We've conquered the universe and the solar system. Oh, yeah, Tim Peek, that British astronauts, says it smells like a British summer barbecue burning sausages on a charcoal grill. Wow. Why did you have to specify the nationality of the barbecue? That's so weird. We just say barbecue. British barbecues are a very sad tinge to them, I think,

like as we portrayed in our fallout video. Yeah. I think we've made them look wonderful, quite frankly. Yeah, yeah. Thank you very much for the question. Thank you. Who would like to present their thing? I'm happy to present.

None of us. It's at the end of the podcast. We've got things. Just don't want to share them. These are our things. I'll go first with my thing, then. Sure. This is a tale, a real-life tale, titled The Bear from Waterford.

Oh, that sounds nice. Yeah, it is. It's lovely. You realize why I brought this along, well, as the story progresses. And then the bear shat itself to death. Yeah, it's probably fart related. Actually, it's not, for once in my life, I've done something not related to farts or poops. Okay.

We'll see. I don't believe you, isn't it? You keep waiting The story starts with a quote Well, it's not like an inspirational quote It's just a factual quote to set the scene I just don't want to overplay it Privileged young graduates of 16th century Europe

Pioneer trend wherein they travelled across the continent In search of art and cultural experiences Upon their graduation This practice which grew to be wildly popular Became known as the Grand Tour Matt Rosenberg So it's kind of like gap years for all people

and yeah there's so the grand tour was essentially a right of passage for the very wealthy youth

of the 16th and 17th century I fucked that up it was a wealthy youth of the 16th 17th and 18th centuries usually after finishing university

the young man or woman would travel all over Europe and beyond the idea was that they would go they would get to see the things that people at the time only read about in books.

Nowadays, if you read about, if that's good, sorry, I just copied this straight from our website. That's a good sentence. If we read about a picture, as you do, or a piece of music that we have never heard of, we can simply Google it.

And back in those times, if you read about the pyramids, the ruins of Pompeii, Venice, or any specific piece of art, you had to imagine it in your mind's eye. Oh, I guess that makes sense. was before printing, so you'd hear a text description of a picture. Sorry, I didn't mean to bash you, the writer of this article.

I'm wrong yet again. So this was all impossible unless you came from nobility or a very wealthy family. If you had the means, then you could travel to see these places and things in person. This allowed the person traveling, the joy of seeing the things that they previously only read about in books, but in person. But as well as this, when you are so wealthy, sometimes you need things that money cannot buy in order to impress your peers. This is what the grantor afforded the very, very wealthy.

It allowed them to buy culture. And after returning from their grantors, imagine the stories you'd have to tell. This is how Roman architecture found its way into the living rooms of Irish homes. It is how we have Chinese, Japanese, French and Italian items in our homes today. We have them because of it brought home

first by teenagers from their grand tour. This is also true of plants and flowers that have worked brilliantly in some cases but have been a disaster elsewhere as many invasive species of plants were brought back to Ireland by very well-meaning but ignorant teenage botanists. There's an Irish land here which will soon become apparent. Similarly, at this time, people that were not wealthy had to find alternative ways to travel. If you were inquisitive in nature or intellectual, the priesthood was often the answer. The priesthood would allow you to travel as a missionary and see the world. Enter Arthur O'Leary, born in 1729 in Dunman Way,

meaning he was born in the middle of the penal laws in Ireland, and the penal laws were an indescribably difficult period in Irish history, and many people, if they survived a teenage years or even adulthood, would look for a way out of Ireland by any means necessary. For Arthur, this was the priesthood. He decided to move to France. He practiced as a priest, as well as as becoming a writer and a political commentator. So he did quite a lot for himself after fleeing. Over the course of time, he became particularly well known for the aforementioned,

but mostly for the fact that he travelled everywhere on foot. Below is a quote from the book, Irish Footprints Over Europe, in which Father O'Leary features heavily. Or is a friar or father? It's just FR dot. FR, I think it's Father. Okay.

Farther O'Lear. Friar. Yeah, I like Friar. to calm fryer. Screw you. O'Leary during his 25 years, sojourn, so, God, I should have translated some of this to me speak. 25 years in France used to spend, what's sojourn, sojourn?

A jaunt. A jaunt. A jaunt. It's 25. Yeah, okay, that makes sense. Thank you. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's got journey in it. Okay.

Sorry, I'm picking her. Oh, I'm so good at reading. Michael, we're having a wonderful time. We are. Thank you. That's all I need to hear. Thanks. During his 25-year journey in France, he used to spend his holidays exploring the country on foot. He used to walk from the convent of St. Mallow to the feet of the Pyrenees or Promenade all the way to the gates of Paris to the banks of the Rhine backwards and forwards within a month. So he's pretty hardcore. Dirty bastard. What was he doing in the convent? Oh, I was he up to there. As he was walking along the keys one evening in French town name, which I'm going to struggle to pronounce, Belon Samir, he noticed a huge crowd gathered in a semicircle.

When he walked over to investigate, he saw that the crowd was being entertained by an incredibly well-trained brown bear. The bear was on a leash and was performing several tricks for the crowd in return for money. everyone was fixated. Father O'Leary had planned to stay in Boulon, Samir, for a few days, and he noticed over his stay there how popular the bear had just become. O'Leary went down to the Keys every day during his stay. Every time he went to the Keys, the bear was there performing with his owner by his side. Over the course of his time there,

Father O'Leary noticed that both the owner and the bear were on the Keys entertaining huge crowds for very long periods of time. Wow, that repeats a lot of information. The bear was on the keys a lot and as was Father O'Leary. There we go. He noted in his diary that the bear was exceptionally well trained and was performing tricks

that were enormously impressive. The bear had learned to nod back to you when you waved at it. When given a clock the bear was able to point to the hour of the day that it was at that time. O'Leary noted in his diary that the bear was now so popular that it was bringing crowds from neighbouring towns

and villages. On the fourth and final day of his visit, Father O'Leary again went down to the key to see the show and the bear and the trainer went to see to the show and the bear and the trainer were enclosed in a giant circle of spectators that were tossing money into the trainer's basket in return for ever more elaborate tricks by now the bear was very obviously tired it began to lie down between tricks and whenever it did or larry noted that the trainer would poke it with a sharp stick and get it to stand up on two feet. On one occasion, instead of rising to its feet, upon being prodded by the stick,

the bear roared. It roared in what seemed to be a language, a language that no one understood, except, of course, for Father O'Leary. The bear had just shouted something in Gaelic. Wait, what? Come on. Hang on a minute. Father, hang on, please. Come on. You've been out here too long. Go home. Come back to the convent. You've been ridiculous. this. The bear was now screaming at its trainer in what appeared to be the Irish language.

Father O'Leary, not believing his eyes or ears, shouted at the bear, and let me try a bit of Gaelic. Konasata to Akara, which translates to, how are you, dear? Upon hearing this, the bear stopped, turned towards Father O'Leary, still standing on two feet, and replied, Meth, Goreb, Math, Agat. It translates to Yeah, you get that right It translates to Well, thank you

O'Leary in disbelief leaves the promenade And requests to see the mayor Of the town The mayor and father O'Leary Return And O'Leary strikes up a conversation With the bear

To demonstrate to the mayor Upon hearing this The bear's trainer Drops the lead And sprints away from the scene And it turns out That the bear Was in fact

Just a monolingal Irish spirit speaker from Watford. What? But, but, but, what? But it's a bear. It's a bear.

Don't worry. It's all going to be explained just. He was from a famine-stricken area in Waterford and had gotten work on a boat as a labourer.

That's a bear. Okay, no, it was a man in a bear suit, much like our beloved Corolla. Exactly. It was, it was a poverty-stricken man

who was seeking work. He got on the boat and was traveling from the port in Waterford to Spain, where it got into difficulty in the ocean. When the boat capsized, he was able to keep himself afloat at sea by holding onto the boxes that the ship's cargo was being transported in. Eventually, he was found by a fisherman and taken advantage of when they got to land. He was sewn into a lifelike bear costume and made to perform on the keys. Jesus. That is, so like, yeah, and by the sounds of it, it was like he was locked in there as well. He was not having a good time. They paid the man for his efforts in food. So it's not all

bad, I guess. It's still pretty bad, but yeah. A little bit, a little bit. Father O'Leary asked him why did he allow this to continue? And his reply was that he didn't mind because he had enough to eat. God, Jesus. God, Jesus. Admittedly, that's, yeah, give him snacks. The man will do anything, I guess. As far-fetched and bizarre so story sounds, it became much more believable when you look at it through the eyes of a 17th century per village French villager, unlike the wealthy and nobility previously mentioned that might have seen the bear in a granteur, the villagers of this town simply would not have, so they were unaware of how a bear should actually look and act.

And so they just took what they were seeing at face value. And that's the story of an older historic version of Coco the gorilla. it's a what's the guy's name again Timothy where did he even say his name do we know the man's name the man inside

Coco the gorilla I don't think we've ever named him no no the bear oh no well the Irish man in the bear is the the historical analog to Cocoa the gorilla it is

Bear Ryan Brian yeah I like that I like that there we go we'll go for that so we go Brian Brian the bear I've heard of that being the other way around where

there's a bear inside a man costume you will almost there's a thing called the pig-faced woman of Manchester Square or Chafalga Square or something and it was this quote unquote pig-faced woman it was supposed to be like a you know a Victorian freak side show thing

that they had you know really exploitative but it wasn't a pig-faced woman it was just a bear that had been shaved and put in a dress and walked around on two legs. Oh, that's mental. But people were paying to come and look at this woman. Well, they thought it was a woman. It was just a bear with no hair on.

Wow, that's horrifying. Yeah. Well, there we go. I'm glad we've evolved from putting men in bear costumes and sharing bears for our entertainment. Oh, she's beautiful. That's just a drawing of a woman's body with a pig's head on top. That's probably not what she looked like at all.

What's going on with the ears? That's so weird. Oh, yeah. It's like one's half drooping down the face. You never know. It could have been a very slim bear with an incredible physique. It's true. Yeah?

There we go. That's my horrifying thing. Fantastic. Thank you, Michael. You're very welcome. So there is truth to the Cocoa the gorilla conspiracy. Not that it's a conspiracy. It's a confirmed fact.

It's a fact. It's a fact. Shall we move on? onto a question. Yeah, let's do it. Sinclair at Who underscore Bert on Twitter has a very important question. If you came with the dipping sauce,

what would it be and why? I guess we have to establish first what's being dipped into this sauce. I think that's important. That's true, actually, that's a big deal. When I hear dipping sauce, I assume pizza or something of that kin. Oh, yeah.

Nuggets. Oh, no, oh God, nuggets. Nuggets, yeah, got to have nuggets. Oh, yeah, I forgot about nuggets. My first thought was that you'd be talking about Doritos or, like, tortilla chips. That's true. I do like a pizza dip myself. Well, let's just try and think of just an all-rounder in the dip world,

something that can be used for anything from your British barbecues to dip in your moon rock in for a bit of extra flavor. There'd be dettle. Oh, God. What does dettle taste like? I must have got in my mouth at some point. Yeah. There's still a lot of time. Try it.

That's the thing for next time. I taste. Yeah. Can I propose the extra 50s worth of garlic sauce? That's the name of it. And it's basically just Domino's garlic dip. But you just get 50% extra per tub because there's never quite enough, I find. Domino's garlic dip is so good.

In fact, I don't know if you remember. Peter, but I tried it for the first time shortly after moving to Newcastle, after you and Amy insisted it was really good. And I'd been throwing it away for years. Like, oh, I can't believe it. What is this? I don't want that. Horrible. Wow, I just assumed you had like a lifelong affinity for the sauce, but no, it was a relatively new edition. This guy got me on it. When we lived in Bristol, and we used to, as a two or three, all go and get, um, uh, pizza pizzas from the counter where you can like them they'll make one for you uh i used to that asda was on my walk home and sometimes i would be like oh i fancy a dominoes tonight but i can't really

afford it or justify it so i would go in make a custom pizza at asda and then go across the road to the dominoes and just buy a 50p dip and take it with me and it's basically the same experience like the best part about the domino's is the dip and the worst part is the diarrhea and you don't get the diarrhea if you have as to pizza, but you do get the dip. What causes the diarrhea? Is it the dip or is it the meats or the cheese? I'm not, still haven't narrowed it down. I think it's sort of the combination of all the probably, just the grease and the salt and the sugar. Internal lubricant. But we did that I think a couple of times you and I, I remember doing that. Whenever you get Domino's, you got

you got to doff up, you got to top up on your, on your, on your, your bips and your bobs. Yeah. So when you don't want to get the diarrhea pizza, you can get different. pizza and still enhance Give you a weary bum a rest I like that Yeah, indeed So that's my idea

It's literally just Extra 50s worth of Domino's garlic dip I You know those beanboozled jelly beans No It's where you get like It's either like

Ooh a tasty flavour like strawberry Or a rancid flavour Like vomit Yeah Like look of the joy You don't really know What you're going to get Until you have it

Oh yeah And there's like grass cutting and stuff, isn't there? Yeah, it's all, like, gross flavors. I want to do that and ruin people's teas with dip-boozled. Random dip-boozled. I like that. That's great.

What dip flavorings would you have? Which good ones, which bad ones? Good ones would just be, like, a pizza-flavored dip. So it's just like more pizza for your pizza. Bad ones would be ferret musk. Oh, God, ferret musk. Fucking hell, in liquid form. Oh, God.

Oh, yeah, we got sent liquid ass in Poddietz, which was cruelly taken away from the input. Yeah, I was not sorry. I still feel bad about that, but I was not taking any risks because I could not conceive of a situation where the liquid ass would be deployed sensibly. I'm very responsible with my liquid ass deployment, but it's fine. I just threw it away. Okay, if you're sure. It doesn't feel like you're over it, but it's be sure. But I think I'd take Liquid Ass, crystallize it, and then I'm...

Mix that in with mail, sort of like liquid male ass. That'd be nice. I think there were some bean boozzled around the office at one point. I think like Hat Films or someone had some. Oh, yeah. I think they got some for a video, and I think they were offered round, and I didn't really dare take the risk. I could maybe go for a white one,

because that's either coconut or baby wipes. And I'm not saying... The blue one sounds good, too. Berry blue or toothpaste. Yeah, like, those aren't so bad. I'm not saying I'd really want a toothpaste, or baby white-flavored bean but yeah I forgot

that the idea is that the beans are there's like a good one and a bad one of each colour so yeah I wonder how many of these they actually sell because no one can eat these recreationally like yeah I'm going to have

I'm going to treat myself to a handful of like stink sweets that doesn't sound nice does it on the Tesco Groceries website they've got a 4.7 star rating with 460 reviews. Wow. It's okay, says a Tesco customer. Well, I'm doing a challenge. It's okay.

It's okay. There are some of those that I wouldn't even want the good flavor. I mean, I obviously wouldn't want chocolate, chocolate pudding. But that also, you might end up with canned dog food. But also the skunk spray one, its partner is licorice. And I'm not a big fan of licorice, either, like aniseed. So, yeah, aniseed sucks. He'd lose out on either way there. I think ferret farts are essentially, it's the same thing, although slightly weaker, as skunk spray. So someone's already beat me to the punch there. They've already put it into food. I have to try that.

Wow. I'd just go with barbecue sauce in answer to the question. You can't go wrong with barbecue sauce. It's nice. Oh, look at you. Being sensible. What about that Setschman sauce, am I right? Do you remember?

I'm picking all right, everyone. Do you remember it, though? Do you remember it, though, do you remember how funny it was? Yeah, when people were like. marched into McDonald's and stood on the desk and said, hey, I'm not leaving without my sex one. Hey, we all did that. All of us, holy warriors

in the high level IQ war. You do have to have a pretty high IQ to understand Rick and why. It's just the funniest fucking show. Like, I would kill people for that show, I think. Like, actually murder them.

Not sure gets taken off the air. There's going to be riots in the street. It's going to be joker, but real. I'll be at front. I'll be at the front. Romanticizing mental illness, just like in Joker. You remember that one?

That was a funny film too. I'm pickle ban, everyone. Fuck you. Pickle Ben. It's so sad because Rick and Morty is genuinely excellent and you can't really say if you like it much now anymore because people ruined it.

It's been tainted. I saw we were out getting food at the weekend and like a dad and a stroller wearing a bright green Rick and Morty T-Jew. shirt, stroll past. It's just like, oh, that's... He may have been bought that, though, to be fair, like my... You just...

Any family member gets a whiff of you liking something that's highly merchandised. True. That's it. You just get it. Like, the worst merch for Christmas and birthdays and stuff. You like Rick and Morty, don't you? Says Grandma, if she gives you a Back to the Future 2 t-shirt. Yeah.

Yeah. You must have had some absolute stonkers of Star Wars presents over the years, Peter. Especially when the new trilogy came out. Yeah, yeah. Did you get a baby order? No, I've not had a baby Yoda. I've had some baby Yoda socks. In fact, am I wearing them right now?

No, I'm not. I'm not. But I've had some, oh yeah, I got, these weren't bad, but they were interesting. We got sent some socks, do you remember Ben, to like tat or whatever it was, like a triple jump? and I got some Boba Fet socks that had capes on them. Yes, you did, yeah. Which was, like I say, that's by no means, I'm not saying that's like the worst thing

I've ever been sent or anything like that, but it was just strange. I was like, oh, cool, Star Wars socks. And it was like, oh, they've got capes on them. They were flipping, how do we go so fast in these? Yeah, speed and style. That sounds badass. Yeah, you can't wear those inside out of their tickle.

They would. And you can't really wear them in the rain because they'll drag. through puddles that's true how long was this cape was it going down the back of your shoe it went down to the heel I think yeah wow I'm clearly missed remembering it incredible it's an easy way it's a free way to get water at the end of the day I just squeeze out all the puddle juice oh yummy that's the stuff that's the stuff thank you boys for indulging in the sauce who'd like to do a thing breaking poos oh did it do it did it be da bab bab bab it's not actually breaking this this poo was broken some months ago it's February 2021 but uh it's one of

the better poo stories available right now if you search poo news at the moment all you will get is about the biggest poo biggest human poo in history on record it's like a fossilized viking poo riddled with parasites it's absolutely enormous it's like a thousand years years old and that's all over the poo news scene at the moment so I had to go a bit further back had to dig through some some old poo oh ladbital.com forward slash poo you know you could do yeah but they're all three years old the most recent stories oh I found it I found what you're talking about it oh my god the Viking poo have you got it yeah is this is this it I'm sending a photo is that it it's like mounted on it yeah that's it's horrifying it looks almost

Alec, doesn't it? Yeah, I don't know if we can post a photo of that on Twitter. No, just imagine a log and you're not far off. I'll put a photo of a log. Do continue. Yeah, okay, just do that. So this is according to lestermercury.com. I guess it's a local Leicester or Leicestershire website, news website.

Woman shocked when sofa throw from Dunelm comes complete with a poo. attached. A little subheading underneath. I got some kitchen roll and felt that it was dried on and recently attached to the throw. There you go. That's a little taster there. Wow, okay. This is written by Adrian Trufton or Troughton, one of those weird Ght sounds in English language,

which has about six different pronunciations. Here we go. A woman was shocked when she ordered a sofa throw from Dunnell. and it arrived with an added item. Tam's in Kelly, so she was disgusted when she unwrapped the 21-pound pink throw on Thursday to find what she claimed was a poo the size of sausage attached to the item.

That's what it says. That's amazing, good. Yeah. Directly underneath that, there's an advert that says, do you recall seeing an ad for Vodafone recently? Yes, no, I don't know. I'm sure Vodafone are very pleased that their ad was included in this article.

This is what they want. I could not believe what I was looking at, said the 29-year-old comedian and actor from London. Oh, that's a bit suss. Could be doing publicity. For publicity. There is a photo, though, of the poo. Really?

I was going to be more question. Wow. I'll send it to you. In fact, I think there are two photos of it. I'll send you the better one in a second. I got some kitchen roll and felt that it was dried on and really attached to the throw

not recently attached I did wonder about that when I read it before out loud that how did she know it was recently attached if it was dried on anyway it continues it was gross and it stank like fox poo

specifically wow Tamzin said she wrapped the throw up and put it outside the front door I tried to contact Dun Alam about it Then they finally got in touch, she said. They said they would send me another throw, but I don't want another throw from them.

I want a refund, and I think I will get a throw from somewhere else, and hopefully this time it will not come with anything extra. I always knew I'd get a poo in the post one day, but thought it would be because of my terrible personality, not my love of soft furnishings. I just want Dunelm to get in touch with me and to tell me that they did send a poo in the post,

and that they are sorry about it. Fuck sake. You're right, Mikey. I think this stinks, but not in the way that they're implying. Yeah, but I will show you the photographic evidence. So if it is faked,

she did have to go out of her way to get some poo from outside and put it on her throw, which is, you know... He says you have to go outside to get poop, Peter. True. You're a living, breathing poo factory.

You're right. You're right. It's easy to forget, but I would also quite like some compensation because it was an upsetting experience. It actually says because it was upsetting experience. I can still smell that poo, she says. The picture is then enclosed.

Here you go. There is the poo. Okay. Oh, wow, okay. Yeah? Just a little cabri's mini finger, yeah. It is. It is just a little piece there.

It's a little nug cute I mean it's hard to say from this distance it means brown yeah give it that there's a closer

of it do you want to see a bit more detail yeah go on well there it is oh yeah that

that's not even a very good photo it's on the edge of frame almost like it's it's photoshopped hmm the best thing about this article and others like it

is just how much filler there is and how much they repeat themselves because we're now about two thirds of the way through we've seen a photo and the caption underneath the photo is Tamson Kelly ordered a throw

from Dunnarm and it arrived with a poo stuck to it Oh wow Was that what happened? We've established that by now thank you Lester Mercury the article concludes a spokesperson for the furnishing company

which is based in Leicestershire tweeted to Tamsin thank you for getting eye touch with us. I am sincerely sorry to see the condition of which your item has been delivered in. Please understand that it is never our intention to disappoint our customers in this way. I will be more than happy to refund or replace this item for you, dependent on your preference. Can I kindly ask for you to dispose of this item now, if not done so already? Please accept our deepest apologies for the item you have received, and I look forward to

hearing from you. No. And that is the end of the article. I'm glad there was a resolution. Yeah, she had her reply. That's, I mean, that's, that's like a dream experience to me, is to be, like, just work for a week in, like, the customer service end of some company and just see what comes through those,

that inbox, because you must see some absolute twallop. Yeah. There's a comment underneath. from East Mid-Gai, I guess a guy from the East Midlands, who says, it's not acceptable there, really. That's his contribution to this article.

I mean, that's true, but, you know, they're replacing it. That's what that is. They're acknowledging it's unacceptable. That's what makes mistakes. Lama Lamb says, I was in Primark in Humberside Gate a couple of years ago,

and I picked it one of their baskets on the way in. There was a joby in the bottom of the basket. That's it. two up votes. There's no conclusion to that story. Just that. Jobby. A joby.

That's good. Wow, Mr. Jobby. Okay. Yeah, I, I'm sure I, I, I, I, I, the cynic side of me says, well, what, what, does it, like, include the name of the comedian, then, like, Twitter handles and all that, or. It only includes her name and it doesn't say, you know, she's got a gig coming up or anything like that. Okay, so it hasn't worked. What's her name?

We'll do the job. Tamzin with a Y. Hang on. I've lost it. Oh, Tamzin. Tamzin Kelly, T-A-M. In fact, they've spelled her name wrong because they've put T-A-M-Y-S-N,

which is T-A-M-E-S-Kley. There are four typos in that article. Wow. Absolutely diabolical. I found a... How recent is this story? February, 2021. Okay, I'm just scrolling through

this might not be the right person on Twitter who's popped up. Cornish actor-comedian writer, Tamsin-Kelly, I found at Tamsin-Cle. Represented by Noel Gear. Good. Hmm? Okay. I saw that one too.

I don't know if that's the one. I think this might... This might be the one. If I scroll down to February, looking to see if the article has been like just retweeted it. Um, go on Tams and Dundice down No, this is not the right time

Oh, no, it is, it is, it is What? Yeah, I found, I found, like, her on Twitter and it's got pictures of Oh yeah, there is February the 10th, I see it The Poo made the mirror Truly my proudest lockdown moment Thanks to all who believed in the poo

From the start last Thursday Hey, there we go Okay She got a couple of likes From Donalmit right with a poo stuck to it Always knew we'd get a poo the poster one day post one day

but I thought it'd be my terrible personality not my love of soft furnishings this might be real it might be yeah but

like nothing seems to have really come of it for her she's had a few quote tweets 14 likes I mean the big chaos right here

she's getting discussed on yeah I mean I hope she succeeds now I hope this is the push that she she was after

now. I want I want Sofer Throw Pooh lady to be on Britain's got talent and live of the Apollo. Sincerely

there's nothing I would like more than that. I want her to make it to the Edinburgh Fringe so that she can star once again in Podia. Yes, do the best show. We can talk about how good or bad her jokes are.

I'm just scrolling through her feed to see if there's any like hot tape. or anything, but probably not. Oh, she got a refund and a 50-pound voucher for trouble. Okay, now we're talking. That's it, that's it. That's the good stuff.

I'm just reading the comments of another news article. This is a comment from Penisland. Okay. She can poo on my carpet anytime. Oh, for God's sake. Brilliant. There it is. I don't think she pooed on the throw, penis land.

Oh, dear. Good. That's brilliant. Wow, we. Incredible. Thank you, Peter, for bringing more poo news. You're welcome. I sort of want to at least space them out so that there's never back-to-back poo

and maybe even larger gaps than that. But, you know, there will be poo updates as and when. Thank you, you did. God's work. Fantastic. Would you like a question? Yeah. Yeah. Alex Foster at Shader Fox on Twitter asks,

if Vidyat's had a convention a VidCon perhaps What would the main event slash attractions be I'm picturing each of you taking a section of the main hall and designing it as you see fit

I'm already I think you'd walk into the Vidyat's convention and it would just be like every other convention experience because it would be filled with tables of dealers celebrities yes You wouldn't know it was a Vidyits convention.

You'd think it was like a 1980s, 1990s BBC reunion event or something. So what would we all bring along to our little VidCon? I think we should rebuild the Vidyat set. Oh, is it like, yeah? People can take photos on it, you know, all 10 of them that want to do it. it'd be in the broom cupboard because that's the accurate size of it yeah yeah oh i like that yeah and like you get your picture with jeff yeah like the video's experience that's it you'll have uh you can also have like members of the yogs cast walk past and not look in ever just just complete

completely in fact almost they seem annoyed that you're there hat films maybe occasionally occasionally say all right guys do you want to do something together we're like oh yeah I'd love to yeah and then apart from the good boys oh good boys I love those boys yeah I like I think there'd be like a meat Mali Cyrus table but it's just the cardboard cut out what remains of just her head that's all that's left now yeah fuck oh what else could we do we could do and draw the fans but it would be a bit more awkward if the fan was actually in the room rather than just a submitted photo. It's done through like one of those priest confessional things

so they don't know who's drawing them and they just get slipped through, no words, and that's it. What if everybody who attends has to bring one item of tat? And it all gets put into a big box and everybody has a go at opening one random piece of tat. I like that, yeah. Oh, it'll be cute. Everyone gets a tat experience that way.

Everybody gets some tat, yeah. What about a sausage snapping competition? Everyone gets on stage and swips the sausage around until the weird stuff comes. No, that's... The flower comes out. The flower comes out of it. What about bumper cars? But there's also several people wearing a cardboard mask of Peter and one of those sumo fatsy.

Or a big Zorpe ball. Yeah. Oh, that would be fantastic. I think there would be a bar of course Like somewhere in the corner We can go get refreshments But they're all everyone has to be served by Dave Irish Dave

We bring Dave back over He's there saying Guys want some drinks He has to say it's every Every time in that exact voice Yeah Don't break from Oh we're like the catering van

It'd be the worst games ever meal Yeah just beans and different Potato Spirley's God, that would look. It's like a three-day event and all you can get is beige food and like busy drinks from Dave.

People would be dying. That would be awful. It would. I think as well, there'd be like a little art installation room, like a totally dark room with a TV with the Little Britain DVD game playing and just for hours

every day. Yeah, just done a loop. Mark? The odd mark. What about? There's like a, a red velvet, not red velvet, like a red rope you can cross and there's like a velvet carpet leading up a flight of stairs and a giant gold mask like a face mask. And you go around the

corner and you're ushered into a dark room with the biggest, most professional camera setup you've ever seen. And then you're asked a series of fairly basic video game questions, but they're piped into the room over and over again. It's just, don't talk about Hitler. don't talk about Hitler and you just have to see if you can make it all the way through without accidentally talking about Hitler and if you can

which you won't be able to then you get to replace me on on Vidyats and Podias but I'm not worried I endorse that for sure There we go What about an echo chamber where one person

gets to just go into that room and shout out the same question that they want to But there's no one else in that room. No one's going to answer it. If it's not been answered this many times, maybe it's never going to be chosen. Just say it. It might be time to move on, potentially.

You're welcome to carry on, but it is literally your own time you're wasting. So that's fine. About the 20 people who are aware of that question, that's... Wow, it just blew their minds. What about... You know one of those rooms where you can like, pay to smash up plates and stuff. Oh, yeah.

But you go in there, like, heavily padded up like you're one of those, like you're training the dogs, like the police dogs and stuff. Yeah. And then we hire, I don't know who, but someone really, really big, like massive. And then we put a grey wig on them and they are, they're Barbara piss. And they just throw you around this fucking room for like 10 minutes. And the more stuff you get thrown into. the more, I don't know,

Vidiot's bucks you get to spend at the... Yeah, Vee bucks. Yeah, V-Boh, fuck's sake. I want to just so that people are going to experience it, but I want to do a McNuggy's cake ordering experience where there's like little Azda-Ile set up where you pick the cake, you go at the machine, and at the end of the aisle, there's just like three old ladies

and you've got to hand over the receipt and explain what is this purple arse your cake printed on a cake. or when they hand it to you and it's a picture of what was that monkey called? Uncle Fatty No, not the one that Mikey liked Oh, John Deer, something or other

Oh, Small Monkey John Deer So the picture that was on the cake was a photocopy of a mobile phone with a picture of small monkey John Deer on the front and as they hand it to you, they go is that right as though there's been a printing error and I'm just saying no

that is actually what I want to exactly to plan actually it's not some sort of error in the machine that is as requested oh fucking hell VidCon sounds lit 2022 I would go to this

it would be so self-indulgent but I'd go yeah if only you know if there were no people there it would be amazing it was another question that asked like if you had like a budget of 10 grand what self-indulgent indulgent project would you pull off? I think it would be VidCon at this rate.

Yeah, right. Like, we can't, that's not a wage for any meaningful amount of time, but like to maybe just hire someone to put on a small event for us. Absolutely. Yeah. Well, there we go. That's VidCon. On the way in, everyone gets to choose their favorite video that we've ever done.

And in order of ranking, we all sit down in the evening to watch it in like a big cinema. That'd be nice. It would be lovely. Just the game selection video with the fart over and over again. Speaking of which. Oh. Yes. Yeah.

That's worth pointing out. It's the anniversary, right, Mikey? It's the anniversary. Oh, my God. Three years since I did that fateful Trump, which... Oh, well, that's not quite what I thought you were going to say. Did you notice that in the comment section of episode 79, sibling poop, where we talked about that video... And we talked about Isabel Springer, who wrote the comment in the first place,

and we said, are you there? Do you still listen? Do you have Twitter? Is he? Can you hear me? She said, I don't have Twitter, but I've been with you guys since your first appearances on name redundant and followed you to triple jump. Unfortunately, I've never been able to post some tat or donate, but it's coming.

I have told my friends and patience, and then in parentheses, it says, I'm a psychologist. Yes, you can make a lot of money there, but I keep my prices as. as low as possible, so that I'm affordable for everyone. And a few now follow the ways of the walrus. So at least there's that. Thank you for everything you guys do. Oh, my God. Isabel Springer, qualified psychologist,

tells her patience about Vidyat's triple jump. That does not, I think you get fired for that as well. I was going to say the stuff she could diagnose just from listening to Podius about us would be, must be. Well, it's so nice to know that she's still among us. and it wasn't, as Mikey will be about to explain, too much for her. Too much for her. Oh, wow.

Sorry, I'm supposed to explain something. It's the anniversary of that. It's the anniversary, yeah. Is it three years now? Or is it 30? 2018, yeah, yeah. Yeah, there we go. Three years since I stood up on that couch.

And what you don't see in the video is like the two minutes of awkward shuffling and salads. I just have to get out. Well, I truly. put the nails in video it's coughing in video oh god yeah that's that that is a life-changing moment i've rinsed that for all i can get and we will continue to rinse it because it didn't even cost us a viewer which we thought it did so yeah it's like we can just go even harder now we gained several viewers who are currently receiving treatment from a psychologist um i'm saying nothing regarding that wow fantastic brilliant amazing

Ben, would you like to present your thing? I would love to. So people die, right? Sometimes they, I don't want to say they have it coming, but sometimes people are very silly, right? They make stupid mistakes that we all, we look at, we take a step back, Captain Hindsight, and go, well, why the fucking how did you do that?

Surely you would have known what was going to happen. And thus the Darwin Awards were born. They're back. People often attribute Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution to people removing themselves from the gene pool in a spectacular fashion, usually through stupidity, right? So they say, oh, that's a candidate for Darwin Awards. I've done this before on the podcast. There is a website called DarwinAwards.com that has write-ups and keeps track of people who have obviously very sadly and unfortunately died, but usually due to some very stupid mistakes that they have made themselves.

So, trigger warning, this does talk about people who have died recently. I have four headlines or for the titles of stories of people who died last year from various silly things. I'm going to read them to you, just the headlines, and then you can pick one, and we'll dive into it and we'll see what happened to this person. Lovely. Fantastic. We've got Pinnacle of Stupidity, a slack. robotic effort, as buried as the treasure, and pilot Patrick's in flight shower. Wow, okay. You're going to have to say that second one again.

None of those words were English words. So the second one is one that I only understood as I read it out loud. I was reading it earlier, like, what the fuck is that? It's slack hyphen robotic, as in acrobatic. I think it's a pun. Oh, I see. Slack robotic effort, yes. I was like, what is, do they mean robotic?

What is robotic? So do any of those strike your fancy? What was the first one, sir? Pinnacle of stupidity. I mean, I'm, I'm sore by that one just because if it's the pinnacle of stupidity, it's got to be good. Yeah, okay, we'll go for that one. I'm tempted by that. There we go.

So this was one of the award winners for 2020. 28th of October, 2019, this one, Japan. Hands are numb, but must operate smartphone, muttered 47-year-old Tedzu to his live-stream audience as he skidded and stumbled up the snow-covered Shubashiri, I think, Trail of Mount Fuji. I wish I had brought heat packs, he lamented, and then he was heard to say, wait, I think I am slipping. 62 miles west of Tokyo, iconic Mount Fuji is one of Japan's three holy mountains, a 12,389-foot volcanic summit visited by religious pilgrims, mountain climbers, and sightseers. The trek is cold and slippery even during the brief summer season,

when amenity stations are staffed and available for the benefit of climbers. In the off-season, the stations are closed and mountain conditions are downright hostile and inhospitable. A winter climber needs the proper gear, climbing experience, and a booster pack of common sense. Tedzu, alas, lacked all three. Wearing street clothes suitable for a typical October day in Tokyo and carrying nothing more than a pair of climbing poles, Tedzu fired up his smartphone and proceeded up the Shubashiri Trail, which, incidentally, most climbers use only for descent.

Live streaming for the Nikoniko, I think, video-sharing platform. He entitles his video, let's go to Snowy Mount Fuji. In hindsight, the title implies that Tedzu considered Snowy Mount Fuji as safe as a ski resort or a Christmas tree farm, it says. here. Viewers began tuning in, following his happy jaunt up the ash-covered trail. Ashes soon turned to snow, and then to deep snow. Tedzu's viewers were now being treated to a litany of complaints about cold, numb hands and a bitter lack of hot packs. Those watching might have started to feel a bit bad for Tedzu. This was a very good time for him to turn back and resume a life, and then it says

key word, of relative anonymity. A turning point, as it were. But the urge to continue, perhaps motivated by reluctance to disappoint his viewers encouraged Tedzu to trudge father into obvious and imminent danger Is this pretty poggers? Why? Can you, right, let's stop. What is that? What is that? What does it mean? I'm not internet savvy.

Pogas. What is Pog? Is that Pog as well? What is that? Yeah, like when you Pog, when you do... Hold on, let me see. Pog is a, it's an emo, right, in Twitch. That face is a Pog. Okay. I know that face. So when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, you're pogging, that's what you do. Or that was pretty poggers.

How does one pog? Teach me how to pog, Michael. You just, so you try and make the biggest zero you can with your mouth. Is that it? It's very, no, no, it's more to it. It's very much, it's not, just because it's all in the face, it's also all in the mind and the body. It's a full body pog is a good pod. It's got like a full tense, like you just saw something amazing.

It's like, oh. So it's like that when you take that deep gas, like, oh. So it's a reaction to something big and shocking. Yeah, it's like, oh, he's just broke a world record. Pog, Pog, Pog, Pog, Pog. Okay. Wow, that's like a whole concept I've just never understood. So thank you.

Really? Yeah, just, what is Pog champ? I don't understand. Remember Alf? He's back in. See, I did think was it Pogs? It can't be Pogs, can it? From the 90s, Pogs?

Surely not. No, they're not back. I'm trying to find where the actual word Pog comes from, though. like what what because you don't look at that and think pog you know you think like omg oh shock oh I don't know well let me know if you find out anymore yeah I appreciate that well too anyway we're back to Ted zoo now sorry no not all as soon as I can find out where I was in this in this story this is a very good time for him to turn back and resume a life

key word of relative anonymity a turning point as it were but the urge to continue perhaps motivated by reluctance to disappoint his viewers, encouraged Tedzu to trudge further into obvious and imminent danger. Continuing social media commentary as he juggles climbing poles and smartphone in his frost-bitten mitts, Tedzu demonstrates a classic case of misplaced priorities when he states that despite numb extremities, he must continue to operate his live stream. His viewers no doubt notice that the trail has suddenly become narrower. The protective fence has ended, and he is perilously close to the brink. He has now passed the point of no return. Absolutely nothing his viewers could do except tune out in disbelief or perhaps place wages

amongst themselves on his odds of returning intact. Oh, no. Oh, this place is slippery, getting dangerous, he belatedly notices. I'm trying to walk by the rocks. Yes, rocks. It's a steep downhill. Does his audience hear the reassuring sound of crampons gripping the ice as he continues past the end of the safety fence into uncertain territory?

Of course not. did not bring crampons. The slope, at that point, is 30 degrees, as anyone still watching could see. In his continued play-by-play march along an increasingly risky path, Tetsu frequently cautions himself against falling. Some of his viewers might have given a wry chuckle at his sudden realization of what he'd gotten himself into. His inappropriate footwear now begins failing him as he trips and stumbles on.

More than once, he asks himself whether he is on the right track. Viewers already know the answer. Yeah, we're just sort of, this is just a slow build, too, and then he died. But here we go. Yeah. Astonishingly close to the summit for an amateur winter hiker, Tedzu at last utters the anticlimactic words, Wait, I'm slipping. Experienced Mount Fuji climbers say if you start slipping, you have one chance at self-arrest before it's too late.

Even now, Tedzu might drop his phone and jab his climbing poles into the ground. But no, in an instant it becomes apparent that his smartphone is the more intelligent one. It's just really ripping into this poor guy. Wow, yeah. Still live streaming away, Tedzu begins an uncontrolled slide down the rocky slope. Viewers are treated to a spectacle of feet flailing and poles tumbling free. A few seconds later, the phone footage abruptly stopped. The final chilling image shows a climbing pole frozen in mid-flight.

Oh, my God. His viewers promptly alerted authorities. The 47-year-old's lifeless body was found the next day at an altitude of 98,000 feet. 1,000 metres away from where he began his fall. But for a little preparedness, the hero was lost. Gloves and crampons and a sprinkle and a sprinkle sense, it says, was all Tedzu needed to create a spectacular live stream on the ascent of Japan's holy mountain.

And he might have had another 47 years to relive and enjoy that experience. Watching the video, one can almost feel the mind-numbing cold Tedzu describes, but in the end, cold was not the culprit. it. There we are. That would be a nightmare to tune in to you. Horrible. Absolutely horrifying.

So the story is there. Use common sense, I suppose. Yeah. Right. I mean, that's like, I mean, it's definitely a Darwin Award story in that he absolutely shouldn't have tried it in the first place and should have turned around. And even when he decided not to turn around, he shouldn't have been prioritizing his live stream over his life.

but there's an element of like he was just very very very naive as opposed to people who like look down the barrel of their gun which isn't working and pull the trigger so they can see if anything is wrong in there or you know some of the Darwin Award stories are absolutely ludicrous and that is as I say still very much a Darwin award because he was stupid but wow it's also just

tragic. It is pretty tragic. The other ones for context, the slackrobatic effort was someone doing a handstand next to a, on top of a handrail, keeping people away from a sinkhole, and they fell in. And someone... So you stop people from getting in as doing a handstand. Someone went looking for buried treasure, got stuck in the snow and had to be rescued, then went back and died in the exact same spot they were rescued previously. Big Darwin, big Darwin energy. So there we are. I know that was pretty grim.

It was really a lot darker than I was expecting. Sorry, I picked the grimmest. So, yeah. What was the plane shower one? So this one I haven't actually read, so I'll just give you the, let's have a quick look. The United States is a sizable chunk of continental crust, yet people do purchase planes on the opposite coast because flying home is easy compared to driving. Pilot Patrick 52 was up to the task of hopping his new plane home. Licensed to flight commercial aircraft, Patrick had 10,000 hours of flight time and an instructor certificate.

But during the first two take-off climbs, aviation fuel, 1,000 octane gas, it says, had entered the cockpit and sloshed around his feet. He was warned, he didn't do anything properly, and then what happened? Subsequently, the aircraft took off from Missoula Airport, International Airport, made a sudden swift turn and crashed exploding into a fireball there we are

wowy really lovely one there's a photo of it too horrible oh great so anyway that's my thing I hope you enjoyed it

We can only assume he was murdered by bandits on the way. Yeah, or by the Rabbit King, potentially. Michael did a very good job of that. Ben and I filmed some kind of crap footage of just animals glitching around and he

managed to make a sort of battle scene out of it. Funnily enough, I was looking through my hard drive at work, and I've still got pretty much every video project saved on a hard drive on there. And I came across the Scaram Zoo finale raw files. There's like all the uncut battle is beautiful to look back on. And the outtake at the end where all of the rabbits have turned into Uncle Draf or someone, and there's just one giant naked man and loads of little ones all at his feet. canal. We had Sunday
