Pickax
I don't know how to move on
I'm sorry
I'm being quiet

Oh, who?
Peter
Oh, tiny Peter's having a tiny snooze
Oh no no no no
No no go back to Bill
He got you stirring
He's not actually awake his market
I'll put a glass of milk next to me
He loves that.
Just the smell of milk.
Milk.
Milk.
There it is.
It's working.
He's like a little feet are kicking.
Oh.
Oh, this is weird.
Okay.
Here I go.
I'm going to count all my money.
One coin.
Oh, no.
Oh, be it's all of my copious cash.
Oh.
Oh, Ben, there's pennies everywhere.
Peter, Peter.
I was having a lovely, lovely dream that I wasn't a member of poddiot.
Fuck.
Sorry, dude, that I woke you with my immeasurable wealth.
Oh, God.
Dreadful.
Are you going to be in a grumpy mood for the podcast now?
Yeah, yeah, fuck you guys.
Oh, never getting back down again.
It's such a nightmare.
Flipping heck.
Well, I suppose we should just get on with it then.
Yeah.
Hello everybody and welcome to Poddietz, the official Vidyats podcast.
It's a conversational podcast where we take some questions from you at home and obey the law of the three urns, where everybody brings a thing along to talk about.
I'm Ben.
I'm Peter.
And I'm Michael.
Hey guys, how are we doing?
Doing pretty good.
All right.
Do you have any little traditions when you're doing the thing along to talk about?
Because I have to go like full eyes closed kind of dance into it to get the rhythm right.
Oh, really?
I get really tripped up with Discord.
It's like a slight mismatch.
So I've got to get like enter the thing zone.
Yeah, the trick is not to try and slow down to sync up with the people who you can hear who are behind you.
You have to just stay at the same rate that they are,
you're all saying it at a different rate in your own ear.
Like, or saying it at the same rate, but a different, same speed, but at different times.
You know, it's, it's a battle of mental fortitude.
It's a, it's, it really starts the podcast off strong, I think.
The fact we're able to coordinate it every time.
It's a work of art.
You have to stay exactly out of sync, you know.
It's difficult.
It is difficult.
Well, before we move on to the rest of the show, where we do our things and answer some questions,
It's time to talk about Pod Squad.
If you go to streamlabs.com forward slash poddy, it's donations.
Donate three pounds or more.
You'll get a shout out at the beginning and the end of the show
and you'll support us and we'll love you forever.
Thank you so much.
Mikey is going to kick us off with the bumpy platoon.
Oh, I'd love nothing more.
I was about to do a horn there, but we don't need a horn
because I guess I'm demons is first up with a very generous donation.
Thank you.
This is.
Hey, guys.
Loving the podcast, as always.
It's that time of you're again.
where I ask you to give my wife Montana
a birthday shout out
Peter, please do not call her a prostitute this time
or do, I'm not your boss.
Love you boys or girls.
Sorry, Peter. I don't remember that
and I believe that it did happen.
Such a menace.
Well, happy birthday, Montana.
Happy birthday, Montana. Thank you so much
for celebrating it, I'm assuming,
listening to this podcast all day.
Damn right.
It's the only way to do it.
Just don't repeat.
Have a wonderful birthday.
Happy birthday.
The party continues with Stephen...
Whoa.
It was so close, Peter.
So close.
You're getting better.
Next birthday's you're going to do it.
I'm confident.
Yeah.
You'll call the next Donator a whore instead of the lovely Montana.
The party continues with Stephen Scores with a generous donation.
And they say,
Hello, boys. Keep up the amazing work you all do. Thanks again for the kind words on
the worst games ever anniversary video. I'm starting a new job soon, so I'll be able to
continue to support you guys. Big love to you all. All the best. For the best boys. Thank you,
there it is. There it is. Thank you. And congratulations on the new job. Thank you, Stephen.

greasy gunned, just
keep swimming, ash, Prince
Beefcakes, Caroline, I'm
leaving you, and Scotch
Bonnet, bum ring sting.
There we are. That's your pod squad.
Aren't they an eclectic bunch?
I swear you always seem to have the worst
one. You do.
I copy them from top to bottom and then I just
split them three ways, so Mikey gets the first chunk
P to the middle and then me the last. I don't know.
The last group of, or is it in reverse
Yeah, so it's the first after the last episode.
They're all really, they're straight in there with their filth.
With their wank engines and...
I also like the idea that someone announces to their wife or partner
that they are leaving them via the Poddiet's donation system.
It's a power move.
Caroline, I'm leaving you.
I'm leaving you.
We've done a proposal before, so it makes sense to have a divorce at some point.
It balances out.
It will make sense to me.
Once again, that's streamlabs.com forward slash potty at's donations, three pounds or more.
Get a shout at the beginning and the end of the show.
Boys, would you like some questions?
Yes, I have a question.
Speaking of Tommy the Wang Engine, here, presumably he is at Triggily Triggily Saride Tea on Twitter.
Worst birthday party you ever attended.
Oh, good question.
Oh, that's a very good one.
I feel there's a sad birthday party.
I don't know if it's sad.
I think I had fun.
I remember looking through family photo albums years ago
and there was just a picture of young me
strongest ball cut ever imaginable
sat at a table by myself
with a full spread of food
but no one else there
that sounds amazing
there was a cocktail sausages
colin the caterpillar
as mini rolls as everything
but it's just little me
and I don't think anyone else came
oh no
was it your party
yeah it was my birthday party
and
oh bud
I don't know this.
I'm saying my parents this weekend
because we got a wedding, so I might ask them,
do you remember this really specific picture of me
at the table of food?
What's the story there?
We need more information on that.
I think we need to recreate that birthday party
and have loads of people come
and you can have a great day.
If there's any time travellers listening,
please go back to Mikey's birthday party
and just be there for him.
Oh, God, wait.
There's a tattoo just emerged on my chest.
it says thanks for the great party
and cheers for the capillar cake
someone did make it back and etched
my child torso
good thanks
that's
I don't know if that's a good thing
please leave me a time travelling tattoo artist
strange
I'm struggling to remember
a bad
birthday party that I attended
there was one
that I didn't attend
that I heard had happened with like
just a certain group of friends in my, in my year at school who, well, this was primary school,
so they were in my class, I should say, you know, it was like 30 odd of us. And a certain group of
them had got together at a swimming baths. So it had been like a swimming party. And the room upstairs
in the swimming baths had been, they'd like laid on a, you know, a table of, like you say,
Colin the caterpillars and sausage rolls and stuff. Yeah. And I was at school on the Monday,
after the weekend that this birthday party had happened and there was like a sort of a tension in
the air and it was like what's going on here and uh all the the whole class got called into a special
i mean it wasn't really an assembly it was just us and the headmistress was there and she looked
really stern as we were all walking in and i was like what could this be about and the boy next to me
said oh it was a so-and-so's birthday party on the weekend
apparently out of nowhere like Phil or whatever stood up and went food fight and they all started throwing food all over the the conference room or you know the party room of the swimming baths
and apparently the school took it upon themselves to have strong words with the whole class because a group of like nine boys had had a food fight at the swimming pool
that sounds like an overreach on the school
doesn't it yeah i don't know why they involved themselves
like surely the parents of the kids you know
like when you're outside of school property you represent the school
your behaviour must be exemplary
that was exactly yeah i've heard that before
what bollocks is that such nonsense
yeah so who calls schools with complaints
i mean i guess it makes sense it's an easy way to fix here
it just feels like such oh naughty behaviour
just call up a school and rat on a child because they're causing a bit of a nuisance or something
Yeah, I mean, it's one thing doing it if they're in their uniform.
Like if it's, you know, half past three and they're on their way home
and then they throw conkers at Mr. Jones's window,
then, you know, maybe you do call the school and say one of your students.
You know, I recognize the uniform.
But it was just some kids on like a Saturday at the swimming pool.
Just throwing food, which they shouldn't have done.
But like, yeah, surely the mum of whoever's party it was.
Or dad. Or dad.
But it was moms back then, let's face it.
Should have got involved and said,
what are you doing?
Stop it.
Maybe the mums were involved.
Yeah, maybe they...
Like, fuck you, Carol.
Just throw a sausage roll.
The teacher's like,
class, I've gathered you in today
because I need,
when you get home tonight,
you need to tell off your mums
for what they did.
Carol is in the hospital.
She has a sausage roll allergy.
Yes, specifically.
And she's on a ventilator now.
She's neither allergic to pastry
nor sausage,
but combine them.
Oh, she comes out in blocks.
It's very dangerous.
It's a tiny piece of rolled lodged in her nose
and the doctors can't get it out
and it's all your fault children.
So there you go.
That doesn't really answer the question
but I don't remember a memorably bad party.
I'm sure I could probably rank them all
from worse to best if I remembered them all
but I don't.
Yeah.
Ben?
I had one that wasn't really
the party wasn't bad
but you know when you're a kid and sometimes things just
sometimes things you just get way too much
you just need to have a cry
yeah you know like like
I'm just I'm going to cry now
and you know
some people still have that as adults
and all the power to you
because I think regularly crying
probably a really good outlet
yeah yeah probably not enjoyable
but probably quite healthy
some boy in my class
rented out like an indoor
five-a-side football
place that was basically
you know like a basketball court
slash badminton court you know all that sort of that you know the squeaky floor yeah yeah yeah and then
they had like a back room rented where you know we had the cake and stuff and like I remember
playing football I mean it wasn't really going very well I was like I'm going to score some fucking
rad goals and I didn't do it didn't do any goals and then I found out that Manchester United had
lost that day and I was just like no I'm just going to fucking cry I'm just going to cry how old be so
I'm not about to judge you.
17.
I was maybe, I was maybe like seven.
It was primary school.
And, yeah, my dad came to pick me up.
I didn't cry at the time, I'll point out.
When my dad picked me up, I was just like, my dad's here.
It's time to cry.
I was walking out.
I remember the boy looking over like, oh, fuck, what happened to Ben?
He must have had a horrible time at my birthday party.
And I was like, no, man United lost it.
I didn't score any goals today.
And that was enough.
That was it.
Were you a big fan, the Reds?
The Reds, listen to you, Michael.
The Red Devils.
Go on you, Reds.
I mean, I was as a child.
I was as a child.
My dad supports United.
So I sort of got that through osmosis and have dropped off over the years.
It's powerful osmosis.
He took it very personally that day.
To drive a child to crying.
This is what football is all about.
Yeah, I know.
John O'Shea did not do well enough, quite frankly.
Look at him.
He's crying because of your actions.
Do better.
What happened?
Huh?
Not even cake could fix this.
Dick.
Anyway, that's that question.
Who would like to do a thing?
I'll do a thing.
Oh, yeah, go for it.
Oh.
Let me just adjust my headphones because they're kind of,
they're creaking a lot,
and I'm hoping if I loosen them, they won't.
This is, we have to cut this out.
I'm just, you know, walking you guys through.
Can we get some bonus creaks while you're adjusting, please?
Let me lean in to the mic.
Do you hear that?
Discord's doing a very good job.
by saying it might be on your on your file I mean also maybe it's just I mean they're quite good
noise counselling headphones and it might be that just every single creak and crack is being fed
directly through the foam into my ears and isn't making it to the outside world so could be
yeah could be yeah anyway that seems a bit better but uh you know I was just a little adventure
for you so let's let's continue that was fun thanks man you're welcome in the spring of
1947, Toronto's teenagers went on strike.
Thursday, May 2nd, 500 high school kids marched,
waving placards that read, don't be a sucker, and, let's all fight inflation.
The public demonstration was the product of simmering resentment over a national issue,
one that had galvanized youngsters from coast to coast.
Oh my God.
The price of a candy bar was too high.
Oh, no.
Fuck, we've been down this Fred road before.
I was going to say, why haven't we ever done this?
It's because our generation is apathetic
and I think resigned to the fact that we can't change anything.
Well, just allow themselves to be walked over.
We'll get rolled over and pay 15-20p for Fredo.
What is it now? How much of Fredo's now?
Fredo? I don't know.
I don't know, but hey, son, if you want to be able to afford that Fredo,
why don't you just go around town with some CVs?
Just drop them in, you know?
Yeah.
Just drop in with some CVs.
Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
Yes.
A single Freddo was 26 pence.
That seems like an awfully unreasonable number.
Make a 25.
Tell you what.
If this generation didn't cry whenever Man United lost,
we would probably have cheaper Fredos,
you know, be a tougher bunch.
You never would have lasted World War II.
No, absolutely not.
And they wouldn't have survived the candy.
Oh, I didn't actually think of a name for this.
The candy bar protest.
The candy crash.
The candy crash.
There we go.
There we go.
King's Candy Crash.
So this is the story of when children rose up all with one common goal,
the extortionate price of candy bars.
How many students again, sorry?
There was about 500 for the May 2nd demonstration.
But there was multiple.
Oh, it grew.
It grew.
It grew. You're about to find out.
Oh.
Fuck.
So this wasn't all just nonsense.
The kids had a point.
In early April, literally overnight,
the price of a standard bar of chocolate jumped 60%
from five to eight cents.
A group of regular candy buyers in Ladysmith, British Columbia,
who included a 17-year-old Parker Williams,
were among the first to recoil at the added expense.
They said,
We can't tolerate this.
The nickel, to us, had some purchasing power.
You could get your ice cream, your bottle of pop,
or your chocolate bar with that thing.
Fuck.
Didn't you know they said bottle of pop in America?
I think that's...
Is it Canada?
I think it's just a Canadian thing.
It does feel weird.
Like, trying to imagine like a chipper little 1950s.
Get your bottle of pop!
Like that.
That's them.
That's Canada.
That's Canada, right?
From the harsh streets of New York.
It's Canada.
Battle of pap.
I'm drinking pop here.
Williams and his friends organized a boycott of a local candy outlet,
the wigwam cafe,
and painted signs and placards that said,
don't be a sucker.
They even painted Williams's car and paraded up and down the street in it.
The cute candy protest caught the attention of the Vancouver Press
and the group posed for a photo outside the cafe.
Several clutched soft-serve ice cream cones, which remained priced at a nickel.
Take that.
Can't buy chocolate, I'm buying bloody ice cream.
Screw you.
Remarkably, the kid's strike tactic appeared to work.
Thanks in part to support from sympathetic adults.
I don't know what that means.
What's a sympathetic adult in regards to the plight of chocolate?
There, there.
That's it.
There you go.
We fought in World War II.
Local store owners reported a significant dip in chocolate sales
and the media coverage inspired youngsters in other towns and cities to take up the cause as well.
Downtown Vancouver stores prominently displaying eight-cent bars were chain picketed Saturday
as members of the National Federation of Labor Youth,
carrying sandwich boards and placards paraded the business streets.
That was a quote and things are getting serious now
that the National Federation of Labor Youth are involved,
which I really should have Googled the name of that organisation
because that sounds incredibly serious for chocolate matters.
Nope.
They very much, they died a while ago.
They're no longer things, sadly.
Well, they didn't die.
They just, I guess, after the candy wars, they petered out.
That was the big cause.
They got it.
Yeah, they did it.
The NFLY's backing kicked the cause into overdrive.
We have proposed a national boycott, said Glyn Thomas, the 19-year-old chairman of the Vancouver branch.
A communication from Toronto indicates the plan will be adopted on a dominion-wide scale.
Bicycling kids in Burnaby disrupted traffic and a group of 200 youngsters interrupted the provincial legislature in Victoria.
Some stores in Winnipeg reported a complete halt in the sale of chocolate.
In Halifax, kids ended stores en masse to ask the price of the bars.
Little tiny forms of protest, but I think it's beautiful.
Junior grade kids in Regina or Regina?
Regina.
Regina.
Regina.
Is it actually Regina?
Virginia.
Yeah, yeah, Regina.
Regina.
I've forgotten.
What was it again?
Regina.
Regina.
Regina.
Regina.
There we go.
Junior grade kids in Regina walked out of classrooms and refused to return until
the prices were restored.
Stored.
I have endless admiration.
Toronto kids initially diverted their allowance elsewhere,
leaving the eight-cent chocolate bars to gather dust on shelves.
A quote,
What I'm getting kicks about is the disappearance of the one-cent sucker,
said a store owner near a Danforth school.
Now it's two cents.
Every day the kids come in and call me robber.
Robber, robber.
Dids dabble in prize, you thief.
On Blur, on Blair, I'm just going to go with Blair, it's B-L-O-R, so on Blur Street, on May 2nd, the Candy Bar War reached its zenith.
At the direction of the local chapter of the National Federation of Labor Youth, students from several schools marched into Christie Pitts, which is the name for town, not a medical disorder.
Tucking information cards under the wipers of every parked card.
they passed. Their signs read, 8 cent bars, a big bite out of a sweet tooth, or
knuckle down for nickel bars. And candy is dandy, but 8 cents ain't handy. Very cute. Lyrics
is a lot of them. In an attempt to quell the prospect of future sugar-related unrest,
candy manufacturers posted advertisements in the Toronto papers explaining the reasons for
the high-sighting, boring reasons like manufacturing costs increasing,
Kobe Cung, more scarce sugar, labour costs, all that, all that.
Boo, give us cheaper chocolate.
Eventually, the protest reached the nation's capital on May 3rd,
led by a group of buglers.
I assume that's people who play the bugle?
Yeah, I guess so.
Hey, cute.
60 kids from the city's Lisgar Collegiate paraded on Parliament Hill.
We'll eat worms before we eat eight-cent chocolate bars, one sign, right?
And another one.
eight-cent chocolate bars, fooey, said another.
It's so very 40s, 50s, it's very sweet.
Isn't that?
Then, with the Blur Street and Ottawa protest still fresh in people's minds,
the Toronto Telegram dropped a bombshell that scuppered the movement for good.
And this is, ugh, this made me giggle.
Citing, quote unquote, the most reliable source,
a front-page story on 3rd of May, 1947, claimed the eight-cent candy bar campaign
had been infiltrated by communists.
Oh my God.
No, it's been a knee-jerk reaction to progress.
The Times Memorial.
They're commies.
They want cheaper chocolate.
Will they attack you in your sleep?
No, they just want cheaper chocolate in healthcare, actually.
No, commies all the lot of them.
They don't realize it, but the indignant students innocently parading with their placards
demanding a five-cent candy bar have become another instrument in the communist grand strategy
of the creation of chaos, wrote reporter L.M. McKinney.
Jesus Christ, there's the kids, man.
Don't be screaming communists at them.
The creation of chaos.
It's good.
I mean, he's got a way of words.
He's very powerful, but Jesus Christ, man.
Put your energy elsewhere.
Every one of those eight-year-olds was bribed by Russia, I think, or the USSR.
They were told.
Lenin Air dropped in coins to keep them going and more signs.
Tiny CCC Peter.
right does that work yeah yeah just just met by complete silence from both of you yeah
i giggled wow all right i liked it i think it's great thank you michael thank you fuck you peter
yeah that's okay you communist the story accused the national federation of labor youth of planting
a few seeds of marxism one of the giveaways mckenny said was suspiciously well-painted placards
used by children.
Because the kids are good art.
They did too good of a job with their side.
It's got to be Russian meddling.
The communists have eagerly grasped the situation
created by the originally spontaneous protest
of high school students, he wrote.
Youth organizers have been instructed
to use every possible means of developing
and encouraging the chocolate bar agitation.
No, that's the title of this story.
The chocolate bar agitation.
Wow.
The sudden and bizarre acupunation.
almost immediately derailed the candy bar campaign.
Groups sympathetic to the cause began to withdraw their support
and newspaper editorials turned against the kids.
And eventually, sadly, the protests fizzled out.
In 2012, Parker Williams denied the movement he helped start
was ever affiliated with communists.
Was that 60 years later?
He's still trying to prove that he wasn't a communist.
But he said,
at least we didn't sit idly by
and let this terrible thing happen,
he told writer Tom Hawthorne.
We recognised we did have some power
to make a protest.
In time, the price of candy bars
fell to seven cents,
but the kids never walked out on candy
ever again.
And they never got a six cent bar
ever again. That's quite sad. Yeah,
it's only going to keep going up.
Unless we have like a massive economical crash.
They'll never be that low again.
Well, we'll do one, so you know,
any day now.
There we go. I think it's worth it.
Screw housing and jobs.
Cheap chocolate, that's where it's at.
Absolutely.
Thank you for listening to me Rammel about communist chocolate lovers.
Thank you, Michael.
That was very insightful.
We learned something new today.
Who would like another question?
Both of us.
This is from Addie at 2 Addie underscore P on Twitter.
What's the best thing you've ever got for free?
And I'm talking actual things here.
None of that friendship or love nonsense.
Oh, that's a very good question.
For free.
I can kick us off if you guys won.
Yes, please.
Peter, you'll know what this is because I think you were alive at the time.
From my grandparents' next door neighbours, I got two cool things.
One of them was a widow's penny, I think it was called.
Right.
You familiar with that?
I feel like I've heard the name, but I wouldn't know what one is off the top of my head.
I believe it was off of World War I.
Right.
And they were sent to widows of soldiers who died.
Oh, is it like a little medley thing?
Yeah, but it's quite big, actually.
It's like the size of your hand with fingers outstretched,
just a big, like, bronze.
It may be made out of something special.
I'm going to look for a picture.
Sort of medallion type thing.
And I spotted it at my, yeah, my grandparents' neighbour's house,
and I was like, that looks really cool.
And the next day, they brought it over and gave it to me.
Because it turns out it wasn't theirs.
It was gifted to them a while back,
because one of the neighbours was a major, a retired major in the armed forces,
who, you know, served across all of those good old days of the British
just being everywhere they shouldn't be in the 50s and so on in the 40s.
No, I'm not really aware of these.
I'm looking at a picture now.
I've not really...
Oh, really?
I mean, it doesn't surprise me that they were given them,
but I wouldn't have known necessarily that these are a thing.
Yeah.
So I got one of those, and they also gave me an onyx,
as in the mineral onyx
not the Pokemon
chess set
which
it was so shiny
and it looked amazing
and I promptly put
the chessboard down
on the bed
that I was sleeping
in at my grandparents
and sat on it
and snapped it in half
oh Jesus
Christ Ben
yeah
guess what I did
after that
not tell them
no fucking cried again
just just cried
so did a cry
and then
my granddad
ever the handyman
glued it to some wood
underneath.
So like it had a solid base again
and the sort of fixed.
But yeah, that was an impressive
an impressive turnaround of a gift
broken and ruined.
Yeah.
Oh, if I was like an old person,
I gave something to a kid and they broke it.
I mean, I wouldn't,
maybe I wouldn't be surprised,
but like, oh, well, I guess it had some fun.
That's that.
Yeah, I guess that.
It had some fun being sat on before it.
Yeah, I think that's why I cried
is because I was sort of humiliated and sad.
Oh man, they trusted me with that
and I just went and sat on it and broke it.
Yeah, that's always the worst feelings.
When you break something,
I'm like, I've got, I can't hide this either.
I've got to fess up.
Yeah, I've got to go talk to someone.
It probably belonged to the dead major.
Yeah.
Well, maybe.
I mean, he was alive at the time.
Oh.
Yeah.
Who was the widow?
Oh, he got it from someone else, did he?
Yeah, so he received it from someone else.
I see.
And, yeah, then they gave it to me.
after.
And when you sat on it,
it unleashed the demon spirit
that now haunts the house to the stair.
I know, some soldier,
some dead World War I soldier
still haunts my grandparents' home.
Have you got an answer, Mikey?
I'm still trying to think.
I mean, I can obviously think of just like
good Christmas gifts I've got,
but, you know, I'm not...
In the universe of things that I didn't have to pay for
but got to do was 20,
got to go to Twitchcon to San Diego
and that didn't that was cool
no was it 2018 it was 2019 2018 was video it's time
wasn't it Jesus it was 2019 was video it wasn't
2018 was videos 2019 was triple jump year one
year one of your job Mikey so yeah it must be in 2019 then
but yeah got a fly out San Diego for work
did some worky things enjoyed it had a great time
then obviously the next year the the whole
bloody world shut down, which made
it even more of a valuable experience
and that was probably like the last normal Twitchcon
for a little while. Yeah. I made it nice.
That was a good time.
All paid for on the company card. Cheers.
Nice. I have to do
a little bit of work.
I, um,
when I was
seven or eight, you know, the sort of the years
where you cry at things.
Yes. I get overwhelmed.
Yeah. I, um,
there was a circus in town.
And nowadays, you know, much like how I really enjoyed going to SeaWorld when I was about 10, you know, I look back and I'm like, well, that wasn't nice.
That's like a really sad orca being made to jump.
And likewise, you know, most circuses, well, circuses now in the UK, you can't have quote unquote wild animal.
You can't have elephants and tigers and lions and stuff.
I think they can still have like horses and dogs and things.
but, you know, it's better now than it was
because circus is probably not that great.
But, you know, back then, I really wanted to go to see this circus.
You know, I thought it sounded really cool.
And my brother got, was able to go
because his friend was going to the circus
and my brother had been invited to go with them.
So I was like, oh, no.
So he went from school that evening
and my grandma came to pick me up from school.
My sister was in the car.
and I was like, yeah, he got to go to the circus, that's a shame.
And on the way home, we stopped at the butchers to get some tea.
And when we went in there, the butcher had some circus tickets that he was selling.
Because I guess the circus has just been around to various local businesses and said,
do you want to buy some tickets from us to sell to your customers?
So we managed to get two or three last minute tickets to get to this circus,
which was pretty cool.
And we went there, and there was a raffle.
on as well at the kind of like half time interval and I had a solitary pound in my pocket
to buy a raffle ticket with and I bought the raffle ticket and then I ended up winning the
raffle with my one ticket out of everyone in the circus which I mean I guess thinking about it
as I told that story I did pay a pound for the ticket you did but you got access to the venue
for free. I've got access to the venue for free
because my grandma bought it for me and then when
I got there I paid a single pound
and out of everyone in the whole tent
I was invited
to walk down to the ring
and the clown
who I mean
clowns are kind of creepy but this one wasn't
he was not particularly creepy
handed over it was like a big
black teddy bear
and my brother and his friend
saw me just walk
they didn't even know I was there they had no idea that we've got
some last minute tickets
and they just saw me
march down to the ring
and win the raffle prize
and they like ran around
and said hello
and I really loved that bear
because not only was it a memory
of a very happy day
where I got to go to the circus
and I saw a man like balancing
on like six barrels
stacked on top of each other
and another guy whipping a lion
oh great fantastic stuff
yeah
but not only that
it smelled of like
sawdust and candy floss
for about three years
after.
Like, it smelled of the circus in a really nice way.
And so I was able to, like, go to bed, and the teddy bear was always, like, in the
corner of my bed.
And if I ever wanted just to be whisked back to the circus, I could have a little sniff.
Come in a little closer.
We can fucking smell it.
Smell it on your bear.
Fucking dirty.
Whisked back to the circus with my sawdusty bear that I got sort of for free.
Oh, it's amazing.
I don't know if it's the best thing I've ever got, but it's up there.
It's a happy memory.
I feel like a fool.
All these nice heartfelt stories, and I've got, I went to another country for free.
I'm like scanning my room, I must have a bit of memorabilia somewhere, but I've got a big stack.
I've got, actually, oh, God, I need to tidy my room.
I'm just looking around, and my room is just covered in newspaper, and it kind of looks like that scene in
a film where someone's gone mad and there's newspapers everywhere yeah that's kind of what my
rum is like god it's just bloody everywhere and everybody realized because we use newspaper to
for the ferrets to poop on and so claudia like once a year we'll go visit a nan and old people
being old people she just reads like three newspapers a day so she'll fill the boot with them
give them get Twitter gran how we get with it you don't need all this paper
how way man how we're none sorry that was that was me I just had that horrible realisation
and just how much
newspapers in my room

free thing I've ever received

Dear Peter Ben and Mikey
Whatever it was
That was great
Yeah, so all those things, too.
Yeah.
We're also such generous, wonderful people.
Thank you.
Generous bunch, aren't they?
Yeah.
For a nice, I don't know.
Bloody good, not them.
Peter?
Breaking Poos!
Yeah!
This is according to the sun.
Boo!
Yeah.
Sorry.
Mid to late July, this story comes from.
It's written by Hannah Carter.
Pooh Bomber, 50, who has played Neighbors' Lives for 25 years,
is banned from urinating and defecating in public,
as though that wasn't banned beforehand, you know?
It's PC culture gone mad.
Isn't it just?
An Aspo.
An aspo.
Very good.
tried. There's a little sort of pun headline before that major headline. It's sort of like a, well, I don't know, but it just says turd immunity and then says the headline, which is great.
Brilliant. I enjoyed that. Yeah. So here we go. A woman who, quote, who bombed her neighbor's property as part of a 25-year harassment campaign, has been banned from, quote, urinating or defecating in any open space.
cops successfully apply for a criminal behaviour order
against 50 year old Amanda Lee
there's a photo of Amanda Lee
which I will send to you now
she is not doing a poo
it's safe
she is very excited
oh wow she looks sad to have been caught
she's got really tired
yeah she's got two hearts tattooed next her eye
and each heart represents a poo she's done in the garden
yeah it's like a prison tattoo
yeah
A heart is pooed in garden.
Lee of Crewe, Cheshire, has 15 convictions
stretching from 1996 to 2018.
These include incidents of antisocial behaviour,
harassment, and public order offences.
Now, police have obtained an order
which bans her from engaging in certain behaviour,
including urinating and defecating outside.
Cheshire police also accused her
of repeatedly causing trouble
and making nuisance 999 calls.
If she breaches her,
the conditions the lout could face up to five years in prison.
South Cheshire Magistrate's Court imposed the CBO to hearing this week.
The five conditions included a ban on possessing booze in an open container within an
exclusion zone and curbs on abusive language.
Aren't all of these things already illegal?
I don't really understand this, but fine.
We've made it extra illegal for her and just her.
The order also aims to stop.
from ringing the police unless she has a genuine reason.
I'm just going to scroll ahead to see if there's any context
as to why she's been specifically banned
from pooing and urinating in a public area.
No, there isn't.
That's basically it.
Wow.
There you go.
A woman has been banned from shitting in the street.
It's okay if you guys want to do it.
You've not been banned from it yet.
So, go nuts.
Oh, my God.
That's quality, quality journalism.
Why haven't they in...
Ship posting, isn't it?
Yay.
Very good.
You can't write an article like that
and not tell us why specifically she's...
Why is it poo bombed?
Pooh-bomber.
I just expected them to be context and there isn't.
Explain it to us.
It's so much of the Sun's journalism,
and I say that with all of the irony,
possible in the world
is just designed to be shared on Facebook
without anyone clicking on it?
Yeah, exactly.
It's just like for people to see the headline
and go, oh my God, poo bomber, ha ha!
And then that's it.
I mean, that's basically what I did here.
Well, yeah, I suppose so, but you dove into it.
You've, I think, exposed the corrupt core
as if it needed any more exposing.
I do actually really like the final line, I've just noticed.
Anyone who encounters her breaching the terms of SCBO
is asked to report it to Cheshire Police
by calling 101.
Just on the off chance that you see her
taking a piss on the pavement or something.
She's doing it again.
She's pissing.
Quick.
Get here.
Oh my God.
There you go.
Just a little bit of breaking poos there.
I thought it's been a while since I did one.
So that was the most recent story
that I could come up with for you.
Thank you for the poos, Peter.
You're welcome.
That's wonderful.
I'm just searching for other versions of the article,
mainly just to see what.
Just see what comments there are.
Yeah.
Meet the poo bomber, a woman who shoplifts, then defec-oh, it's loading the...
Meet the Pooh-Doh-Doh-Doh.
Meet the poo-bommer, like some sort of Meet the Fokkers.
Yeah, sequel.
Meet the Pooh bomber, a woman who shoplifts, then defecates in the store before leaving.
Oh, so that's what she does.
The soft-proclaimed kleptomaniac, who experts claim gets such a rush of adrenaline from shoplifting
that she loses control of her bowels
and defecates in the shop she steals from.
She's not a very good shoplifter then, is she?
She's leaving DNA everywhere.
This is someone else.
This is a story from 2017.
It's a different poo bomber.
There can't be more than one poo bomber?
Yeah, this is someone else completely.
Her victims so far have included
best and less mitagong
where she stole $173 worth of clothes.
The police fact states,
the police fact should,
state, states the woman stood still with her legs
partially apart between a row of display stands.
That'll do it.
The accused has looked around before shaking her buttocks
and flicking part of her dress near the buttock region.
The documents said.
No, I don't know.
That was way more descriptive.
They just described how to go to the toilet.
We know how to do that.
It is at this time that the accused has defecated on the shop floor
before walking away.
The woman then took possession of a tea towel
and used it to wipe her buttocks
before throwing it under a display stand,
the document said.
Well, she cleaned up a little bit.
Well, and made a mess in the process, but...
This is a way better article.
Another victim included shop pharmacy
in Campbelltown Mall,
where police documents said the woman,
quote, went into the squat position
and caused a, quote,
dysfunction in Isle 3
forcing the shop to close
for an hour until it was cleaned up.
Disfunction.
Disfunction.
Oh, God.
It's natural.
It shouldn't be labelled a dysfunction.
It's a normal body action.
Yeah.
I mean, clearly that...
She evidently, you've got to have,
you know, obviously some kind of mental health issue there to be doing that.
So there's a limit to how much amusement one should gain from that.
But, you know, the write-up is quite something, if nothing else.
Stunning.
Stunning.
Yeah.
So, uh, thank you, Peter.
Two, two poo stories for you there.
What a deal.
Wow.
So, so good.
So many more than I was anticipating hearing today.
Yeah, a number two.
Yes, there it is.
Let's move on to another question.
This is from the Vidyat Stan account at you vidiots on Twitter.
What's the most grandpa slash grandma thing you do?
Oh.
Oh, wow.
hmm
I mean where do I start
Jesus
Peter do you want to begin
like when you were born
or like where do we jump in with you
yeah I mean you know
I've been away for a few days
and what we tend to do
if we're doing a journey that's more than
two and a half hours
if it's three hours or more
we will stop at a National Trust place
on the way purely to break up the journey
and because we can
so that sounds delightful
yeah yeah well yesterday on our drive home
we stopped at East Riddlesden Hall in Bradford or in Riddlesden I suppose and we fed the ducks
with duck food that you can buy for 50p we went to the tea room and had a cup of tea and a
Victoria sponge cake and a wander around the gardens um that sounds idyllic it's it was very
nice and when you know if you've got a three hour drive ahead of you it's nice to think that
after an hour and a half you'll be stopping for tea and cake so I mean that's one thing I
do.
Something I used to do, but I don't do any more that's very granddad, is wear bed socks.
Oh my God.
What age were you when you started doing this?
And I don't just mean I wore my socks in bed.
I mean, I had special socks.
I had some actual, like, well, there were like slipper socks.
You know, they weren't, I think bed socks are, even within that are their own thing.
But I had like, you know, really thick, fluffy, nice slipper socks.
Yeah. Do you have like circulation issues then? What was this? Or was it fashion? No, I just, I think it was just, I used to, I used to wear them all the time, like, like, slipper socks. You know, they have, like, the little pads to stop me slipping on, like, laminated floors and stuff. So you're wandering around the house in some, like, cozy socks, maybe in the winter. And I think maybe it started that perhaps I'd been getting into bed and my feet were cold. Like, the bed was cold. And so I'd just leave the socks on. And then I started just sort of sleeping in.
them more and more to the point that you know i mean i wouldn't wear them in summer or anything but like
maybe for six months of the year i would just sleep in in quote-unquote bed socks or slipper socks
i don't know if there's a difference but nice thick socks that you would not wear with shoes on
and you wear them in bed or around the house we should have made you go last really because
there's absolutely no way either mikey or i could ever match those i mean those are just the
bed socks. Those are just the two that came to mine. That's one thing I did yesterday and something
that I used to do that I know is quite granddaddy. I still have kind of house socks that I
wear, but I don't wear them in bed anymore. But yeah, I mean, I'll continue to think while you guys
go, see if I can really knock it out the park. But there you go. Those are my answers.
I think the bed socks are just, that's the one. That's a really big one. Can you think of any
Mikey. I'm pulling up
a total blank. I think
maybe, I don't know if this is an old person thing, but
I really respect cues and order
in like certain scenarios at least.
Like, fuck you up in your own
time, but when we're here queuing,
don't cut in, or I will
tut and give you sard eye
really intensely and
oh, it just grinds my gears.
That's your shit, man.
What else do I do? That's old.
I, no, I was going to say I eat old people
food, but that's a lie. I think I'm just
trying to talk.
lie to make to up my old man creds and match peter uh oh i'm trying to think i i match up all of my
socks with their original you know partner when i'm when i'm taking them off the era i don't
know if that's a particularly old person thing i one thing that's just what i do is that an old
person thing well i don't know i didn't used to do this this is a development for me there's some
I think that I probably don't know whether they're old person things
because it's just another thing that I do.
Yeah, I'm like, that's normal, isn't it?
Bed socks.
In the, in the, whatever the fuck is called, the sink.
I always wash up everything and put it on the training board, all nice.
Again, I don't know if that's being organized or just an old, old person thing.
I'm trying to, I know.
I like lavender.
Lavender's pretty nice, like on a, like as an essential oil on your pillow.
I don't do it very often, but that's nice.
Nice treat.
Yeah.
When did you start pairing your socks, Ben?
Because I always remember quite distinctly, you've always been an odd sock man.
Yeah, this is a new development.
Ben's pair of socks now.
This is PV, post-vidiates.
You've got your shit together now.
Yeah, really did.
I think I threw out a lot of socks and then just bought new socks.
And I was like, okay.
You've got to do this properly, Ben.
You're a grown-ass man.
Stop wearing one brick-and-morty sock and one stripy sock.
Was that purely a, just an epiphany you had of your own volition?
Or was there help or suggestions from a partner in your life?
Was it like, because sometimes you need, you need your partner to tell you, hey, you can't do this anymore.
You are 20 whatever.
There have been things like that in my life that I've done.
You know, I've had to stop wearing young people clothes.
Yeah.
Doesn't fit you, Peter.
which is weird because you're so small
well even just the style
like you know I don't wear as many
kind of logo t-shirts anymore
and I mean I do but to
I think there's
there's kind of a grading to it
and I probably still be wearing
like a t-shirt
over the top of a long-sleeved
top at this rate if I hadn't
been told not to so
oh that's fashionable Peter do it
I know yeah I can wear that
I can if I want to
that's fine
yeah to answer your question
I don't think it was
my partner didn't say anything about it
I don't believe but she did ridicule me
on a few occasions for the odd socks
but I don't think it was that
it just changed one day like I
I don't wear clothes as you say
with logos on apart from work clothes
because they're free and they're relevant
to being on camera
I stopped wearing hoodies almost completely
like I never wear hoodies outside anymore
sometimes I'll wear one at home
but like I don't
hoodie used to be a big part of my
wardrobe and now they're not
stuff like that
yeah
I'm slowly evolving into grandpa
yeah I don't know
a lot of hoodie listening to this and thinking
that's tame as hell
yeah
yeah
give us your best grandpa things people listening
I'm curious now
yeah that should be the question at the end
oh we've done the question in the middle not the end
I know well
spoil that heck
we get that
I've tried to think of any more, but like I struggle.
Sometimes I find it difficult to separate.
There are things that I know that as a general rule,
people of my demographic don't do and like my peers,
but it's not necessarily an age thing.
Like, for example, we're quite partial to a scented candle
when we're just chilling in the evening and watching TV.
But there's not necessarily a granddad thing.
It might be just more of a, it might be typically
of maybe a more female thing than a male thing or, I don't know.
So it's difficult to pass it sometimes.
Do you carry around a little cloth handkerchief with you at all times?
I don't actually.
My dad's a hanky man.
Yeah, so's my dad.
It's so unhygienic.
No, I've never been a hanky boy.
Vivid memories of my granddad whipping out his hanky from his pocket,
giving it a good old blow and then just shoving it right back in that pocket.
The best bit is when they offer it to you and it's like, no, I'm not a snot rag.
Why would you offer that to me?
Yeah, people do offer it.
And sometimes they offer it and they feel the need to say,
oh, I've got a hanky, it's clean, it's clean.
I don't care.
Yeah.
I don't care.
It doesn't matter to me.
Leave me alone.
That hanky's haunted with the things that it has contained.
Don't need it.
Oh, yeah.
Well, it's time for my thing.
Okay.
I'm going to start off with this.
Here we go.
Poor Claire or Claricine or Clarice or any member of the Franciscan
order of St. Clair, if you want to get alternative name about this, is a Roman Catholic
religious order of nuns founded by St. Clair of Assisi in 1212. The poor clairs are considered
the second of the three Franciscan orders. Because each convent of poor clairs, it feels weird
to say, is largely autonomous. Practices have varied greatly. But generally, the poor clairs
are regarded as one of the most austere women's orders of the Roman Catholic Church,
devoted to prayer, penance, contemplation, and manual work,
and usually adopting the strictest enclosure,
severe fasts and other austerities.
So that's just sort of setting the groundwork there.
For this article from, I believe, the 21st of March 1990.
Whoa.
And the title is,
Nuns Sell Up and Move Out.
Okay.
It's by John Fraser in Brussels, it says.
Here's a screenshot of a newspaper.
A group of Belgian nuns with a taste for the high life
has sold their convent in boring bruges
and moved to a sunny chateau in the south of France.
Police are now on the trail of eight nuns
of the poor sisters of Clara
who received nearly £1 million for their 600-year-old convent building.
What?
The building in the centre of the historic Flanders city
has been sold to property developers.
Part of the proceeds was invested in a chateau in
in the sunny foothills of the French Pyrenees.
An investigating judge from Bruges has fling there to question the eight newly rich poor sisters of Clara.
He is investigating reports that some of their newfound wealth has been spent on some racehorses,
a 60,000 pound Mercedes car and a farm.
The nuns, led by 61-year-old sister Anna, were last seen leaving Bruges in a convoy of two cars and an ambulance.
The ambulance was for frail 93-year-old sister Agnes, the oldest of the group.
of the group.
Vatican lawyers and property developers are still arguing over whether the nuns were entitled
to sell their convent.
Legally, the nuns may have been within their rights to dispose of this property, said Mr. Peter
Russell, spokesman for the Bishop of Bruges.
But they failed to ask permission from the Vatican first, and this could make the sale null and void.
The bishop was most amazed when he was told they had suddenly decamped.
We don't know what possessed them.
Perhaps they wanted a bit of sun and warmth in their old age.
The convent is certainly rather big for eight people
and it's too expensive to heat it properly.
That's great.
Police are investigating suggestions
that the convent was sold to a property company
for a fraction of its real value.
The Belgian legal investigation is centred on the convent's
former caretaker and odd job man,
Mr Ronnie Crabb, 35.
Police are investigating allegations that he...
How many times can they say police are investigating?
Allegations that he accepted money from the nuns
for his help in the transaction.
Legal sources in Bruges said last night,
the cell itself appears to have been legal, even if the Catholic bishop disproved of it.
Under Belgian law, the nuns had a legal right to the convent and its contents when they were
living there. They bought their new French chateau, which lies between Tarb and the Holy
Centre of Lord, about two years ago. Police believe they got the money by selling art
treasures and religious relics from the convent. Three racehorses were also bought in the
convent's name.
Crazy.
It continues like that. 50 years ago, they would never.
have defied their bishop in case they would go to hell, said a Belgian journalist.
But the spirit of female emancipation has even penetrated the nunnery walls.
Oh, no.
Feminism's added again. Oh, no.
So that's the basic gist. This article did the rounds like a few weeks ago on Twitter.
And when you Google it, you can't really find a great deal of information.
But I did manage to find seemingly a follow-up article from upi.com.
that sort of discusses what happened to Mr. Ronnie Crabb,
who was being investigated, their sort of their fella, their handyman.
So here we are.
The advisor to aging nuns who sold their convent for $1.4 million
and left in a Mercedes for the south of France
was freed from jail on Friday,
saying the sisters knew exactly what they were doing.
Ronnie Crabb had been accused of conning the eight nuns
into selling the order of the poor Claire's convent in Bruges.
His release after 39 days in jail shows it was a trumped-up case all along, his lawyer said.
The nuns wanted the proceeds from the convent to go to their families rather than the church after they all died,
so they changed the statutes of the convent, lawyer Clive Van Airdun said.
Under the old bylaws, the Diocese of Bruges would have received the property and goods of the convent
after the death of all the sisters, aged 62 to 93.
The nuns changed the bylaw several months ago and sold the convent to textile firms, said the lawyer.
who spoke for Crabb at a news conference outside the jail in Ghent.
Most of the sisters rode last month to their new home in France in a $110,000 Mercedes limousine,
the 93-year-old nun who cannot see here or walk tailed behind in an ambulance,
which is a visual that I really enjoy.
The lawyer charged that church officials used their powers to provoke a criminal inquiry
because it wants a reason for a civil trial to obtain the goods of the convent or what's left of it,
a spokesman for the bishop of Bruges denied the accusation.
The church has never wanted the goods of that convent, the spokesman said.
The bishop was only interested in the welfare of the sisters, sure.
Of course.
I bet they're pretty well off, to be honest.
They wouldn't worry about them.
They're probably okay.
Their welfare's pretty good.
The lawyer for crab said he read in investigatory files,
a deposition given in the south of France by one of the elderly nuns,
Sister Josephine, whom he described as very clear of mind, not senile.
She declared to the police that she knew her convent was on a list where the bishop didn't allow any new nuns to come in, the lawyer said.
So she said, why should we just let it bleed to death and let the diocese get all the goods back?
The bishop's spokesman said one problem in the modern-day church is a lack of young women wishing to join the sisterhood,
but maintained the order of the poor clairs could still have been round for a while.
But why the six showy cars, considering that none of the nuns can drive?
They wanted them, so they bought them,
Crabs lawyer said.
It's as simple as that.
That's why this whole inquiry is so silly.
And there we are.
And disrespect for these ladies.
Yeah, absolutely.
The nuns who are just like,
done being a fucking nun.
This is legally ours.
Gonna sell it?
Fuck off.
The church is like,
they must have been conned.
There's no way they'd do this.
And then the nuns are like,
actually yes.
Yeah, we do.
There is.
We bought some race horses,
some cars, a chateau and a farm.
An ambulance.
Fuck you all
And there we are
That is the story of the Bruges
Poor Clare's convent
Who upped sticks and moved to the south of France
That is so good
Wow
That like you said
That mental image of a frail old lady
Leaving leaving this town
In the back of an ambulance
So they put her in an ambulance
So she's safe
But they all drove there in a Mercedes limousine
That they bought
This is what sisterhood's
all about.
Yeah, sisters are doing it for themselves.
What does it say?
It sounds like any pictures of them.
That's really upsetting.
The spirit of female emancipation has even penetrated the nunnery walls.
Oh, my goodness me.
And when nuns are thinking for themselves, you know that society's going to collapse.
What next?
Other women?
There we are.
That's my thing.
Big fun.
Let's move on.
Great thing.
To the final question from Paul at Paul Zarember 16, who says,
if you were able to retire right now, this is somewhat appropriate, actually,
with a literal mountain of funds, what would you do with the rest of your days?
Daily Poddiot, it's fucking no.
Twice weekly worst games on your other channel, no.
Bring back memory cards, maybe.
Or maybe just relax.
Kay, love you bye.
What would you do if you had unlimited funds and could retire tomorrow?
God.
I'd buy big bit of land somewhere
and learn how to build a house
I think
I think like building some kind of wood and wood cabin
would be quite fun
but you know I've got all the time in the world
so I start small make little boxes
and as time goes on these boxes get bigger and bigger
until the size of a house and they live in it
and that's my ritual
sized box
yeah actually I think generally
just having the freedom to do whatever
I'd do carpentry sounds fun as hell
I think that's like
genuine that's something I really want to try
and yeah woodworking is a cool
skill
yeah I always thought that as well
your granddad was a or slash is a
woodworking genius wizard
right Peter I think
would you mention that before
yeah I don't remember mentioning it
but he is like he's very good at that
he's never he wasn't like professionally one
he just uh just
just picked it up over years of
um
I don't know
doing it partly as a hobby and partly as
a necessity and the house that they had and you know um he he built a like a little wendy house
for me and my sister when we lived next door and we were like five years oldish um he and he didn't
build it out of a plan or buy it from a catalog he just designed what he was going to do and built
this like tiny little house uh that we could play in and then um when we got older and obviously
he didn't play in that anymore, he converted it into a hen house, which then went into their
field and he kept chickens in it. So yeah, he's a dab hand, really. Yeah, so I've always thought
that, you know, I've like seen him doing that and thought, oh yeah, that looks good. And he, now he's,
he didn't do as much sort of carpentry, carpentry or joinery, but he really likes a lathe now,
which is one of those things where it spins around a block of wood. And then you, like, hold a
chisel against it and it like shaves it off you've probably seen like videos of it on the internet and stuff it's
like oddly satisfying things and you see all the little bits of sawdust come off so he makes like bowls
and he made a breadboard for us and stuff so yeah i think that'd be nice i think it's fun
quite quite fun just to become self-sufficient make your own shit and yeah that's it i don't
i have to be rich to do that but it's funny you should mention my granddad actually because if i if money was
no object. One thing I'd really like to do is actually buy their house back. Um, not
specifically for, no, no, I mean, like not. So they, they moved house not so long ago. And that
house has been in the family for about three generations. And it used to be one big house. And then
when my parents got married and had, well, they have my brother, my older brother for two years.
And then I was born. And they were thinking, oh, we need a new house. And my grandparents,
actually split their house down the middle.
They like partitioned it and it became essentially a semi-detached house.
So then we lived in next door to my grandparents for years and then we moved out but
then they remained in the house for a long time and they lived in it for probably 60 years
or something in total and then they had to sell it recently because it was just too big for them
and it wasn't it was like kind of up in the kind of the wild and the snow can be bad and
stuff and they were getting older and it's not practical anymore but like if uh if money was no object
i probably buy that house uh and try and buy the next door bit as well from from where it was
partitioned because i just got sold to another family eventually and i just live in that house and do
it up and get a gardener in who can do the garden better do the garden better than i can because i
can't do that at all and uh yeah maybe do me and mike you'll just do woodwork in that house sounds good
Lovely. We'll redo the entire house with our own custom-made furniture and it'll be a delight.
That sounds really lovely.
I would take a gap here.
Yeah. I never did one of those.
Yeah, I would pay someone to organise a round-the-world trip for me so that I could stop off.
I'd like to visit every continent. I'd like to just go and see things.
but I wouldn't retire.
I would stay employed.
Oh yeah, no, I wouldn't retire.
I'd like to keep working and then just have a nicer quality of life in general by the place
that I live in, eat the more expensive food.
Get the Heinz beans.
The Heinz beans, the branded beans.
Try to, you know, take a good holiday each year to a nice place.
and sort out my family and friends.
Just having that nice cushion,
which makes everything a lot less scary and treacherous.
Yeah, exactly.
I would financially unburdened my friends and family
to the extent that I was able to do so.
And then invest the rest,
maybe buy a couple of places to rent out.
So my money makes money.
And, you know, that sort of stuff.
Maybe offer some money up to cultaholic ventures LLC
see and buy into that because that's a good company that's going places and I would like to
you know offer them a cash injection if I was suddenly able to do that for example yeah that
that would be it really yeah I definitely wouldn't want to retire I don't want to be doing too early
to retire for sure doing stuff lose your mind yeah you would lose your mind you know even people
who who really this really does happen to them and they win their lottery they either you
know you quite you hear quite often that people will either just say
stay in their job that they're already doing because they love it or you know maybe if they
don't like that job in itself they'll then go and just start volunteering like four or five days a
week somewhere because they just need something to do like that so yeah yeah well there we are
that's all the questions sorry mike were you about to say something else i don't want to cut you off
no i just said lovely lovely lovely lovely yeah we've all heard it now thank you very much for
listening everybody that's the questions that's the thing
things. Who would like to hear what's coming out slash came out on video at two, three years
ago? Yes, please. Fuck. This next fortnight. We've got, for duck's sake, vanilla
Minecraft episode 12, work on the Omega Swan slash Duck is nearing completion for Peter.
As the gang discusses what level of crime the royal family could dot, dot, dot. Boy, that sounds
intriguing. You better go watch it. Better go and watch it. We've also got sliding on blood,
fairy tale fights.
Our thumbnails really have stepped up at this point onwards.
There's some really creative stuff happening.
This is a very violent one.
We definitely couldn't get away with now.
There's so much blood on the thumbnail.
It's horrible.
Smash that F button.
Worms Revolution.
Did that one.
Happy birthday, Owen.
There's a private video that's had 43 views somehow.
Wow.
I hope you had a good birthday, though, Owen.
I hope you had a good viewing session of that video.
You enjoyed it.
Everyone watched it 43 times.
many times. Benging with Babish five tasty recipes for your switch cartridge. I thought that was
a great video and it didn't like get five million views. So it was a funny. It was a weird
tension in the buildup of that video was like, fuck, like we need more views. Like we need to do
something big, you know, something fun. And it was like this is it. We're going to like this,
this is this feels like a good funny idea and this has a chance. And then it didn't. And it was
like, well, that's the death sentence for Vidyits then, isn't it?
I'm a parody of Binging with Babish.
My main takeaway from that video is just literally the opening line is where, I'm not saying,
I mean, it's an incredible video, but I would say it peaks in the very opening line,
which is welcome Bach to Benjing of Babish as you move a picture of bark.
There's a bark on the iPad that get, yeah.
That's the sort of level of highbrow humor that Vidiots was renowned for along with.
the farts right next to each other so yeah that's a great video go watch it post some tat number
26 the ultimate tat don't know that's it we've 100%ed post some tat that's it that's the
description i don't know how intriguing again you'll have to go watch to find out why that's the
ultimate tat wonderful a vod of a vidiot's live stream we happy few
remember when we played that we sure did we definitely did the playing of the game
becoming beautiful Barbie makeover magic part one prove it
I was thinking about that the other day
typically this got more views than the live action finale

worst games ever be movie game you like Joon good one
Indiana Bones vanilla Minecraft episode 13

It was a very large shirt.
Becoming beautiful Barbie Makeover Magic Part 2.

I don't know what that means.
Oh, Jesus.
It's a little worrying.
Barbie makeover magic in real life, live action finale,
less views than the first one.
Good stuff.
we made Mikey look even more beautiful in two different stars.
Fond memories of me scrubbing my skin off in the Yorgs bathroom for that one.
You were a real trooper.
Why did we choose the permanent makeup?
I don't know, because it was from Poundland.
And it was cheap.
Yeah, I know, that was right.
We went to Poundland for a little trip and got everything we needed from there.
We sure did.
We sure did.
And finally, worst games ever, 3D Pets, Volume 1.
This is where we tried to quote, unquote,
mod the game by just
fucking with the source files. Yeah, we did.
We wanted to change the intro, so it, like
said, Stoke-on-Trent when you started it up.
But we did manage to
fuck with the pet files so that the dogs
look like they've been drawn all over.
Yeah, but then again, that's
one that peaks right
at the end, actually, rather than right at the start
where, you know, we play a whole game of worst
games ever, and it's very good at where we
mess around with the assets, but then
just as we're doing the wrap-up,
the dog just
pisses all over the floor and lies down in it and goes to sleep yeah oh good stuff i've just realized
we didn't add anything to the thread this week on twitter there's just dave stood maybe not wearing
pants and i hope everyone enjoyed that yeah but there we are that is what came out Mikey i believe
there's a store do you'll just add in the picture of dave again to the thread yeah should we just

Are you all right?
I am really tired.
You've just come back from your holidays.
Yeah, when it was like a four-day, five-day weekend.
But it was like you're kind of, you're on.
I mean, I wasn't hosting, I wasn't having to entertain other people, but like I was, you know, socialising.
And I really enjoyed it and I wouldn't, I don't want anyone to think that I wasn't enjoying myself.
But that, to me, some people find that energizing and some people find it exhausting.
And I found it exhausting.
I definitely know what you mean.
It was Peter and Amy on tour, wasn't it, as much as it was a holiday.
It was.
Yeah.
To go and perform.
Well, we're finishing up now.
