Starting point is 00:01:23 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.
Starting point is 00:01:59 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.
Starting point is 00:02:16 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.
Starting point is 00:02:45 It's a work of art. You have to stay exactly out of sync, you know. It's difficult. It is difficult.

Starting point is 00:07:49 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.
Starting point is 00:08:14 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?
Starting point is 00:08:31 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.
Starting point is 00:08:53 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
Starting point is 00:09:10 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
Starting point is 00:09:21 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.
Starting point is 00:09:36 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.
Starting point is 00:09:52 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
Starting point is 00:10:06 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,
Starting point is 00:10:28 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
Starting point is 00:11:17 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
Starting point is 00:12:04 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
Starting point is 00:12:25 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.
Starting point is 00:12:47 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,
Starting point is 00:13:00 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.
Starting point is 00:13:11 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
Starting point is 00:13:24 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.
Starting point is 00:13:39 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
Starting point is 00:13:56 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
Starting point is 00:14:10 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
Starting point is 00:14:40 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.
Starting point is 00:15:05 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.
Starting point is 00:15:18 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.
Starting point is 00:15:34 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.
Starting point is 00:15:46 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.
Starting point is 00:15:56 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?
Starting point is 00:16:10 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
Starting point is 00:16:42 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.
Starting point is 00:17:12 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.
Starting point is 00:17:33 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.
Starting point is 00:17:46 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.
Starting point is 00:18:02 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.
Starting point is 00:18:13 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.
Starting point is 00:18:31 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,
Starting point is 00:18:48 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.
Starting point is 00:19:05 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.
Starting point is 00:19:19 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,
Starting point is 00:19:34 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.
Starting point is 00:19:58 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.
Starting point is 00:20:17 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
Starting point is 00:20:44 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.
Starting point is 00:21:05 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.
Starting point is 00:21:36 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.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Yeah, yeah, Regina. Regina. I've forgotten. What was it again? Regina. Regina. Regina. Regina.
Starting point is 00:21:59 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,
Starting point is 00:22:19 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.
Starting point is 00:23:02 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.
Starting point is 00:23:43 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.
Starting point is 00:24:06 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
Starting point is 00:24:35 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.
Starting point is 00:24:53 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.
Starting point is 00:25:17 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
Starting point is 00:25:42 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
Starting point is 00:26:14 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.
Starting point is 00:26:32 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?
Starting point is 00:26:55 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
Starting point is 00:27:12 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.
Starting point is 00:27:29 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.
Starting point is 00:27:42 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.
Starting point is 00:28:02 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.
Starting point is 00:28:22 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,
Starting point is 00:28:43 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.
Starting point is 00:28:59 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?
Starting point is 00:29:19 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
Starting point is 00:29:35 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
Starting point is 00:29:43 and snapped it in half oh Jesus Christ Ben yeah guess what I did after that not tell them no fucking cried again
Starting point is 00:29:52 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
Starting point is 00:30:05 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,
Starting point is 00:30:19 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
Starting point is 00:30:33 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.
Starting point is 00:30:48 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.
Starting point is 00:30:57 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.
Starting point is 00:31:12 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
Starting point is 00:31:32 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
Starting point is 00:31:59 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.
Starting point is 00:32:16 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.
Starting point is 00:32:40 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.
Starting point is 00:33:08 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.
Starting point is 00:33:30 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
Starting point is 00:34:06 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
Starting point is 00:34:35 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
Starting point is 00:34:51 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
Starting point is 00:35:02 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
Starting point is 00:35:14 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.
Starting point is 00:35:30 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.
Starting point is 00:35:54 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
Starting point is 00:36:24 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
Starting point is 00:36:55 sorry you got it for free that's the best free thing I've ever received Honourable mentions to various amazing bits of tat we got sent at videos
Starting point is 00:37:07 Billy Clay Warus Or was he He might even be in what culture He was what culture Signed photos of Dick and Dom and Dave Benson and Philips Dear Peter Ben and Mikey Whatever it was
Starting point is 00:37:21 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.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Bloody good, not them. Peter? Breaking Poos! Yeah! This is according to the sun. Boo! Yeah. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:37:47 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.
Starting point is 00:38:19 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
Starting point is 00:39:02 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
Starting point is 00:39:21 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,
Starting point is 00:39:43 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
Starting point is 00:40:06 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
Starting point is 00:40:32 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.
Starting point is 00:40:51 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
Starting point is 00:41:04 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
Starting point is 00:41:22 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.
Starting point is 00:41:38 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.
Starting point is 00:41:57 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.
Starting point is 00:42:08 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.
Starting point is 00:42:20 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
Starting point is 00:42:47 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?
Starting point is 00:43:04 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.
Starting point is 00:43:23 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.
Starting point is 00:43:39 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...
Starting point is 00:43:57 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
Starting point is 00:44:16 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.
Starting point is 00:44:28 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.
Starting point is 00:44:47 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.
Starting point is 00:45:01 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
Starting point is 00:45:18 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
Starting point is 00:45:33 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
Starting point is 00:45:57 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.
Starting point is 00:46:29 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
Starting point is 00:47:30 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
Starting point is 00:48:12 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
Starting point is 00:48:28 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
Starting point is 00:48:51 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.
Starting point is 00:49:20 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.
Starting point is 00:49:40 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.
Starting point is 00:49:57 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.
Starting point is 00:50:28 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
Starting point is 00:50:45 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
Starting point is 00:51:01 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
Starting point is 00:51:17 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
Starting point is 00:51:33 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
Starting point is 00:51:48 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
Starting point is 00:52:01 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,
Starting point is 00:52:16 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?
Starting point is 00:52:40 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.
Starting point is 00:53:01 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.
Starting point is 00:53:15 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.
Starting point is 00:53:28 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,
Starting point is 00:54:07 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.
Starting point is 00:54:30 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?
Starting point is 00:54:53 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.
Starting point is 00:55:25 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.
Starting point is 00:55:55 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.
Starting point is 00:56:12 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,
Starting point is 00:56:29 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.
Starting point is 00:56:59 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,
Starting point is 00:57:35 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.
Starting point is 00:57:58 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,
Starting point is 00:58:39 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.
Starting point is 00:59:08 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.
Starting point is 00:59:31 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.
Starting point is 01:00:01 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.
Starting point is 01:00:11 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,
Starting point is 01:00:19 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
Starting point is 01:00:36 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
Starting point is 01:00:49 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.
Starting point is 01:01:05 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.
Starting point is 01:01:20 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.
Starting point is 01:01:43 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
Starting point is 01:02:00 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
Starting point is 01:02:17 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
Starting point is 01:02:31 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
Starting point is 01:02:45 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
Starting point is 01:03:30 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
Starting point is 01:04:16 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
Starting point is 01:05:00 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
Starting point is 01:05:46 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.
Starting point is 01:06:19 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,
Starting point is 01:06:48 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.
Starting point is 01:07:08 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
Starting point is 01:07:47 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 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.

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
Starting point is 01:09:40 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

Starting point is 01:11:47 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.
Starting point is 01:11:59 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
Starting point is 01:12:19 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,
