Starting point is 00:02:51 What does that say about Simon Miller? We've got Dick Mycinko from at the top Billy Ray Walrus there's rules boss there he's got a question mark on his nose you can't really see it there's you've spotted Dave
Starting point is 00:03:08 in his tie-dye top Dave's very well done as well it actually looks a little bit like him you've got James Jenkins one of our editors there's me then there's Tiny Peter and there's Ashton
Starting point is 00:03:22 I like how you've done everyone like everyone looks pretty much spot on to their counter up counterparts but ben yours is that it's not great is it i like that you saw selfless that you put the most time in everyone else but yourself yeah i really didn't they're to be honest i didn't try really hard with any of these guys uh but then we've got brian butterfield obviously on the right there he is um we've got ivy who you won't be familiar with ivy don't you worry you with the spooky voice okay so that's her now you know the Fisher-Price car that we have
Starting point is 00:03:55 the pink and gold one right yeah well the Fisher Price car as it turns out uses she her pronouns and is a female member of the roster and that's her there lovely she looks simply magnificent she is she's actually quite scary to look at
Starting point is 00:04:11 but you can't most of her is obscured by other wrestlers she's very wide she's pretty wide quickly running through the rest we have sparkles Barbara's lady wife Hannah Montana Billy Ray Cyrus, Neil Boocake's there. Wow, what made, like, so, for people who are listening to this in a car, trying to imagine, just the most haunted depictions of all these people possible,
Starting point is 00:04:34 and it's scary than that. But what made Neil so buff? It's all that, all the big art attacks, I think. Yeah, just to carry around loads and loads of barrels of salt. Just everywhere it goes. So many, so many barrels of salt. Then you've got, you've got Polyrath. Palmusek there
Starting point is 00:04:52 Brian Bumpis who is legally different not the same guy as Brian Butterfield different man then there's Pichiti Dust Grimmis who's got nugs on his
Starting point is 00:05:01 tum tum and Simon Miller and that's the roster God what a line up that is impressive Neil looks like the guy out of that really violent video game hatred
Starting point is 00:05:12 I don't know that I'm familiar with that one it's like an infamous like school shooter simulate or a set. Oh, fuck, okay. That was not the intention.
Starting point is 00:05:25 I know he used to have longer hair, so that was the closest I could get. Just the sort of wispy fringe is what does it. Does Barbara Piss have orgy tattooed across her chest? No, it's forgive. Oh, of course. Forgive. It does look like orgy in that photo.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Apologies again to everyone just experiencing this through audio description for the blinds, because you can't see it. Pussing boots are ginger thoms, buys a spot of light on the floor and chases it. That was always the advert before the films for me, for the blind. But, yeah, I just wanted to give like a Dave update, a virtual Dave update. Good.
Starting point is 00:05:59 He can be seen over on Twitch.tv. Forge slash Team Triple Jump, cheeky plug. I'm going to add that to the thread if you haven't already. No, I haven't. Yeah, do you want, I don't know if I have a full photo of Dave himself, but the full showdown between Dave Benson Phillips and Tiny Peter Austin is available on our Vod's channel at Triple Jumps. I need to watch. This is a wrestling I'm going to want to watch. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:06:22 I would actually watch this. A lot of people said that they've never been more invested. There was like a 20-minute match between Brian Butterfield and an actual real wrestler that Brian Butterfield won. And it was amazing. It was the most edge of your seat viewing you could possibly imagine. But there we are. That's it.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Amazing. Impressive work. Thank you, Ben. It's okay. Music time? Yeah, okay. Let's do it. Music time.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Hello everybody and welcome to Podiot's the official Vidiates podcast It's a conversational podcast where we take some questions from you at home and obey the law of the three us where everybody brings A Thing Along to Talk About I'm Ben I'm Peter and I'm Michael Hello everyone

That's a, that's a Mikeyism. But, hi, how are you? Yeah, I'm feeling invigorating for a life after looking up, looking so intently at those faces. I looked at nothing but that image for five minutes while you went through. I'm really sorry. No, it's, it's good. I think it's, it's, it's improved me as a person. I'm going to take these fiercers, I'm going to have nightmares about them for years to come. Okay, well, that's good. Yeah. I mean, that was the intention after all. Peter, how are you?
Starting point is 00:07:57 I am very well, thank you. How are you, Ben? Yeah, I'm okay. I got my second jab today, which I think makes me invulnerable to all ailments. Yeah. And that's good, feeling pretty powerful today. Got a dead arm. I haven't entered the risky, like, sleep time.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Mode? Only because of the awkward pause, not because of just the words I haven't. But when you said, I've got a dead arm, I haven't, and then paused awkwardly. Oh, no. I just, I thought you were going somewhere else with that. Where did you think, go on, help to share it with the class. Go on, Peter. Sit, yep.
Starting point is 00:08:37 I haven't given, I believe, I believe the technical term, the urban dictionary term, is a stranger. I haven't given myself a stranger. Oh, but, uh, a stranger. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:10:28 that he laughed so hard that he crashed. So I don't know if he was making any kind of insurance claim. It's definitely your fault.

It's quite a, quite a mayhem to put together, but it's worth it for just the experience, I guess. Oh, okay. Last three from me, we've got Peter Stole My Spiro Porn. I did.

Starting point is 00:16:04 So good. Oh, what the hell's a star bar? Are they the ones that are a bit like, a boost or is that just boost? Yeah, it looks boosty, but the marketing line for them is amazing. Delicious Cadbury milk chocolate surrounding a chewy cosmos of golden caramel. Wow. It sounds expensive.

Starting point is 00:17:05 I mean, it's clearly intending to say I want a bigger dick, but it's... Oh, I see. It's not been... It's not even very well done. It's not very tricky because I can see it right there. This is not even broken up. Anyway, thank you. Must try harder.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Thank you. Yeah, you got to wake up pretty early to trick us. And dogging in Peter's tiny car. And that is your pod squad for this week. Thank you so much. I've heard dogging so many times today. Good God. Why?
Starting point is 00:17:33 Maybe you should stop dogging then. No, but I like it. It gets me out of the house. Yeah, it's the reason you've heard it. because lots of people have walked past your car saying, excuse me, can you stop dogging, please? I've been accused of being a doggard before, so, I mean, it wouldn't surprise me.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Have you really? Is there much of a backstory to that? It was just saying we were doing a student film, and so we drove out to this quiet country lane, like three cars filled with people. Yeah, and we just kind of parked up on the side, and then the landowner came up, and he was like, you doggers?
Starting point is 00:18:05 We just looked at him like, no. Because we'll get a lot of doggers around here. No, promise, we're not dog. Look, we've got a camera with us. Oh, God. My dad was once accused of dogging, but not even in the true sense of the word. He was walking our dog.
Starting point is 00:18:21 And I think it was off its lead at one point. It was like way out in the country just to cross a field. And then when it crossed the field, he put it back on the lead. And the landowner came out and was like, excuse me, excuse me, what's that you're doing? He was like, oh, sorry, what, what do you mean? And he said, I saw you, I saw you in there. And he was like, what?
Starting point is 00:18:40 Yeah, it's a public right of way. He said, I saw you dogging, dogging across my field. And apparently it just, that man thought that dogging means walking a dog. Oh, no. Oh, I wonder how many people he said that to. Yeah, I know. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Have you heard, there have been a couple of instances where I've heard people talk about knowing someone who uses Buster Nut incorrectly. Oh, no. Like, when they're, when they're just like, I'm so cross, I'm going to bust a nut. And the prevailing advice is you must never correct this person ever. They must continue to incorrectly say, bust a nut. That's also just a cavalcade of shame of all the times they've said that.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Yeah. So it's just, ignorance is bliss. If you don't wash the dishes, I'm going to bust a nut. Okay, ma'am, sorry. God. It's wonderful to meet you, Your Majesty. We've been working really hard to get the first. place ready for you i nearly busted a nut yeah i've been busting a nut getting this place ready for you
Starting point is 00:19:43 to get the walls painted oh no that's um we have a christmas you you bust a nut with a nutcracker don't you do you do yeah nut busters out anyway uh streamlabs.com forward slash poddiots donation three pounds or more to join pod squad thank you so much to pod squad this week peter is question man or woman a woman uh i've got some questions here from the people at home Now, of course, the three of us have never spoken to each other before. We're just getting to know each other. We're very awkward.
Starting point is 00:20:14 I don't really feel comfortable around you. So thankfully, Samuel at SB Music 98 on Twitter, has said, What's your go-to joke for an icebreaker? Oh, man. Oh, wow, Jesus. I've got a couple of answers to this. One of them is an anecdote, which is that I was once in a, I think it was our first seminar.
Starting point is 00:20:37 at uni and um before we started doing uh you know discussing academic stuff um with each other despite the fact we'd never met each other the person who was running it was like why don't we just you know go around and um just like introduce ourselves and stuff and say where we've come from whatever and the circle was going around and we got to this guy and instead of saying hello my name is, and I'm from this place. The first thing he did before he got to that was, oh, do you guys, can I tell you guys a joke? And we're like, oh, yeah, yeah, go for it. And it's still a bit awkward. And he goes, how much does a polar bear way? And there's a bit of a pause. And he went, enough to break the ice. And everyone, everyone went, ah, ha, ha. And
Starting point is 00:21:26 you know, Dave was there. But there's something about that joke. I think he told it in the wrong moment because everyone else had just gone around and said their name. So, you know, he could have just done that. But I think I've used that joke once before, or since then, because not only is it a joke, which inherently can just be an icebreaker, whether it's about breaking ice or not, but because the punchline is also about breaking the ice, it's like it's got an extra layer to it where everyone in the room can go, ah yes, we all know that we all felt very uncomfortable and British in this situation and now we don't. Ha ha ha ha.
Starting point is 00:22:07 So it's kind of a multi-purpose one there. But I've I mean I've got I've got a short joke and a long joke that are my kind of go-to ones. I don't know if they're necessarily my icebreaker ones but just if someone said
Starting point is 00:22:20 tell me a joke. I just pretend. You're at a cousin's wedding. I rock up. I'm a distant relative. Distant relative. You never met each other before. Like how did you choose a name? We've got no common grounds.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Oh, hey, Peter, yeah? Yeah, hi. Hey, how are you? I'm okay. Do you want to hear a joke? Oh, yeah, I love jokes, yeah. What's orange and sounds like a parrot? A carrot.
Starting point is 00:22:53 I mean, that's the perfect joke for me, so yeah. Big thumbs up. Dave was also there at the party. When do you go from there? Watching it across the table. He's not involved in the conversation, but he just overhears the joke. Just a very distant.
Starting point is 00:23:14 He's just snacking on some canapes in the corner. Yeah. Oh my God. I'm a fan of that. That's good. That's silly. Have you guys got Icebreaker jokes? I'm a mess.
Starting point is 00:23:27 To be honest. You're a mess. You're a mess. I'm a mess. I feel like the first, like, well, even people I know a lot. Like, just, I stumble over words a lot. I just kind of, like, vomit on people with really bad, not bad words, just words. And it's just like, I can't stop because if there's silence, that means it's bad.
Starting point is 00:23:49 It needs filling. Yeah. And I don't have go-to icebreakers, because every time it's different. And the other day, I like left the house and there was someone knocking on my neighbor's door, like, pass. I was like, hey, you're right. And like, yeah, I'm playing post-person today. I was like, oh, yeah, I think you've got a promising career and that. Like, hey, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:06 And I was like, you make a promising post-operative. And then just silence for a couple seconds. Bye. Just carried on. I just, what does post-operative even mean, Michael? Why do you do this? Why do you just say words? Wow.
Starting point is 00:24:23 And I never saw that person again. I'm quite glad. They didn't deserve you, Michael, quite frankly. No. But, I mean, I don't know if anyone necessarily has. apart from that guy from my seminar, I don't think anyone has a go-to, ice-breaker joke as such.
Starting point is 00:24:36 But if someone said to you, Mikey, tell me a joke, do you have an answer for that, at least? Do you have a joke? Oh, my God. A go-to joke. I don't. I heard a good one earlier. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:49 What's a, what's, I was going to repeat the carrot joke, but I totally forgot. You can't remember it. Wow, are you a goldfish? I genuinely am. It's just like I say something, and it just disappears, or someone else says something, disappears.
Starting point is 00:25:04 What's wrong? Lillith, what's wrong with me? And then this is this. You see what I mean? I'm like, I'm panicking and I'm just keep saying things. Ben can fill the silence with his joke. Yeah. I kind of rather just let it linger and just sort of stare at you.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Oh, God. I feel sick. And then very quietly, just echoing from the other side of the room. Ah, ha, ha, ha. Cheers, Dave. Thanks, Dave. If you ever see me in public. please don't, I mean, talk to me, but just be prepared from just absolutely nonsense to be spewed you.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Firm handshake, maintain eye contact. Ah, ha ha, ha, right to his face. At my wedding, Mikey, I'm going to separate you from the table with Claudia, Ben, all the Yogscast people who I'm inviting, and I'm just going to put you with, like, my uncles and grandmas, and you'll have to just... That'd be a good conversation, though, I think. Tell the carrot joke over and over again. Oh, God. That would be quite fun. I'd love to see what.
Starting point is 00:26:00 happen there but it's your special day and I don't want everyone to leave the day wholly uncomfortable please let me sit with the people I know I will I will thank you oh dear I don't have an icebreaker joke but I do have a go-to joke yeah which I won't just because I feel like the situation where you try to fill the silence with a joke that really doesn't happen it's like that's a sitcom scenario that doesn't happen to real people I don't think. At least it hasn't happened to me. But when we're, I don't know, doing hashtag content or, you know, work stuff and I need to just come up with a joke. I always go to the same well every time. We might have heard it then. You've definitely heard it. And that's what did the sand say,
Starting point is 00:26:47 what did the sea say to the sand? Oh yeah. Nothing. It just waved. It's good. That's it. That's the joke. That is the joke. That is the joke I go to over and over again. And for some reason, since I was in primary school, I've had committed to memory, despite the fact that I never tell it anymore, an obscenely rude joke that's really long and has all sorts of twists and turns and it really keeps you guessing until you drop the payload at the end. And for some reason, it's just stuck with me. Until you bust a nut. Like I'm fixing to bust a nut, really keeping it in. But yeah. Do you like rehearse it in your head or is it just like, is it just committed there I can just tell it.
Starting point is 00:27:27 Like, it just, it just comes out. Wow. I just bust that nut. God, I kind of want to know what it is now. Yeah. I mean, I could tell it. It's not, it's just rude. Like, it's not, it's not offensive, I don't think.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Well, I was about to say, I've got a rudish joke, which is one of my other go-to ones, which is slightly longer. And I've realized it's also parrot-related. Yes. Oh, wow. Okay. But you tell us yours. I'm just giving you.
Starting point is 00:27:56 I'm telling you that I'm about to tell a rude joke, so don't you feel bad about telling yours? Okay, here we go. I hope you are as impressed as I am that I've managed to remember this for so long. So there's a little boy, and he hears his mum and his dad arguing, and the dad calls the mum a bitch,
Starting point is 00:28:13 and the mum calls the dad a bastard. They're like, they're fighting. You know, they're just being nasty to each other. And the little boy says, what do those words mean? And the mum says, oh, you know, bastardsards, it's just, it just means, it just means dad
Starting point is 00:28:27 and dad says the same for mum basically and then a bit later on dad's upstairs shaving and he cuts himself shaving and he goes shit and the little boy over here's this could be a little girl as well
Starting point is 00:28:43 I don't know why I've gendered the child but I have heard this joke but I don't remember where it's going I'm sure I've heard this before so he cuts himself and he goes shit and the little boy hears and it's oh what does what does shit mean He's like, oh, no, it's just a word for shaving.
Starting point is 00:28:57 I'm just shaving. I'm like, okay. And then his mom is stuffing the turkey, but I think she also cuts herself. There's all sorts of injuries involved in this house. This house sounds chaotic. It cuts herself on the turkey somehow. This child to be, yeah, just a really sharp bone. And she's like, oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Or fucking hell or something like that. It becomes relevant at the end. And the little boy says, oh, what does that mean? she said oh it just it's i just mean it's stuffing i'm stuffing the turkey that's that's what it means i'm stuffing okay um and then i'm just remembering where this joke goes and i'm trying to decide whether to abandon it uh i'm gonna go through with it you boys can decide whether or not it should stay in listener discretion advised if it has even remained in okay it's not i still i don't think it's offensive it's just childishly rude it's the kind of joke you would tell us that's fine
Starting point is 00:29:51 That's fine. Then the little boy, he finds a condom. It's not used to be very clear. Just a condom. Okay, good, good. He's like, what's this? And the parents are like, oh, no, it's just, it's a coat. It's just, it's a coat.
Starting point is 00:30:05 That's where it's a coat. Don't worry about that. It's just a coat. Perhaps this is where my memory is fading a bit regarding the joke. You know, they're talking about a condom. He's like, what's a condom? It's like, oh, it's just another word for a kid. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Anyway, then the guests arrive for dinner. There are guests, by the way. Guests are arriving. The little boy opens the door and he says, Hello, bitch and bastard. May I take your condoms? Dad's upstairs shitting and mum's downstairs fucking the turkey. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:30:35 And that's the joke. That's the really long, stupid, childish joke that I've remembered since I was 10 years old. That's fantastic. Wow, that's it. I mean, yeah, it's just, yeah, I enjoyed that. It's bad. It's not good.
Starting point is 00:30:50 but I've remembered it for a very long time, and I don't know why. It's very good. Hopefully that's silly forever. That's one to tell the grandkids. Yeah. You can pass it down and go through generation. Is it one to tell the grandkids? Not your own kids.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Peter, what's your rude? I might have even told this to you guys, if not even potentially on the podcast, I feel like. But I don't know. I'll tell it anyway. So there's a man who is concerned that his wife may be having an effect. fair um because he's sort of there are various things that have made him suspicious but he goes out all day during the day and i'm sure she does too sometimes you know sure they're both holding down jobs but this is a joke that's maybe 20 years old when minds weren't as open sadly uh but anyway
Starting point is 00:31:39 that's the situation and he decides oh yeah i don't want to like i don't like bug the room Because, you know, if I'm wrong and she finds out and, oh, I don't, how am I going to do this? How am I going to know if something's going on? And he realizes, I know what I could do. I could get a parrot that can talk. And then when I come home at the end of the day, I can just ask the parrot what's gone on while I've been out. So he does that. He goes to the pet shop and he says, I need a parrot that can speak really well.
Starting point is 00:32:10 And the pet shop owner says, I've got one that is like perfect. Like, it can speak, you know, every word in the English language. It can recite Shakespeare. There's only one problem, and I give you some discount. It's got no legs. And the man says, how does it hold on to its perch if it's got no legs? And the Petropona says, well, he holds on with its penis. Just curls its penis round the bar.
Starting point is 00:32:34 It's fine. All right, fine, I'll take it, as long as it can talk. So he takes the parrot home, and he puts it on a perch in the living room. And he says, right, I'm off out to work now. but just keep an eye out and keep an eye out on what's going on and report back to me
Starting point is 00:32:49 at the end of the day. The power is like, yeah, no worries, have a good day. So the mind gets home from work at the end of the day and the parrot is lying on the bottom of its cage on its back.
Starting point is 00:32:59 And he goes, what, are you okay? What happened? And he said, you were right, you were right to be concerned, you know, not long after you've gone out, the milkman came round and she opened the door for him. And the man says,
Starting point is 00:33:12 oh yeah, then what happened? And he says, well, then the milkman started coming in and they went over to the sofa and the man says well then what happened? And he said well they started kissing and rubbing hands on each other and oh it was
Starting point is 00:33:26 really getting quite and the man says yeah then what happened? He said they took each other's clothes off and your wife was all naked and the milkman was naked and oh they were all over the sofa and he says then what happened and the parrot says I don't know I got too excited and I fell off my purse
Starting point is 00:33:41 oh for fuck sake That is really silly. Horrible image. Good God. Oh, wow. I'm imagining this parrot speaking like the parrot off of Aladdin.
Starting point is 00:33:57 Yeah, Iago. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Christ. Well, now that we've lost all our listeners, we're with our extremely offensive jokes. Shall we do a thing? Yeah, maybe we should.
Starting point is 00:34:12 he's got a thing I've got a thing I've got a thing go for it here we here we go I want to thank Connor Bennett
Starting point is 00:34:20 for bringing this news story this very important news story to our attention at C Bennett underscore 12 on Twittles
Starting point is 00:34:30 that's what it's called and it's from the Irish Examiner and the headline reads new pictures show Wally the Walrus relaxing on a small boat in Crookhaven
Starting point is 00:34:40 Would you like to see him? I'd love to see it. Yes, please, absolutely. Here is Wally. Hopefully Discord will do. There he is. Wow. What a boy.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Her name is Rio and she does. He looks like he's on his way to get. He's off to Monaco. Yeah, exactly. So that's Wally. The subtitle, though, is actually the true thrust. of this article. Wally the walrus is set to get a floating
Starting point is 00:35:14 couch in an effort to prevent him from sinking more boats. Oh, lovely. So Wally, Wally is too big despite how brilliantly he fits in that presumably several person boat. He is too big and he keeps sinking boats.
Starting point is 00:35:32 For context, as I'm sure the article will say, this is the walrus that's been hanging around British shores over the past few months, right? And Irish. I will, I'll send you his, quote unquote, floating sofa as well, and then I'll read the article. Oh, wow. Oh, that is incredible.
Starting point is 00:35:52 It's an actual sofa. So Billy's best mate, Wally, here we go. Wally the Walrus continues to draw a crowd as new pictures posted to social media appears to show him relaxing in Crookhaven. The images show the 800-kilogram male walrus, chilling out in a small pleasure craft in the harbor, enjoying the size. of West Cork. On Tuesday, the Irish examiner reported that Wally is set to get a floating couch in an effort to prevent him from sinking more boats. The Arctic walrus, who was first spotted off Kerry last March,
Starting point is 00:36:23 has spent the last two weeks cruising and feeding along the south-east and southern coast. The juvenile... He's a juvenile walrus and he's that big. Whoa, he's a babby walrus. Has left a trail of destruction in his wake after hauling himself onto several small boats to rest, causing thousands of euro worth of damage and sinking at least two.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Warrishes, warruses like seals and sea lions are pinnipeds, or semi-aquatic, which means they must come up on land or onto a floating object to rest. His ponchon for lounging on boats prompted an appeal from Seal Rescue Ireland, SRI, for the donation of an unused rib or a large pontoon that could be used as a designated hallout site for him to rest. So whenever they spot him, basically the alarm. Alarm goes, and they rush his sofa to roughly his coordinates and hope that he settles on that instead of a boat. Imagine the fear of the people who have the boats in that arena. They're probably got a WhatsApp group.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Oh shit. Wally's here. Amber alert. Wally. Get the couch. Push it out. SRA executive director, Melanie Crose. I'm going to butcher some Irish names, and I'm really sorry.
Starting point is 00:37:39 It said they have also been liaison. with British divers marine life rescue BDMLR in the UK who helped install a floating pontoon for Wally during his six-week stint in the Isle of Silly, which makes it sound like he's just been on holiday, really, in July on how best to respond. Ms. Kroath said SRI has now secured a sturdy pontoon with three raised sides, which looks like a floating couch.
Starting point is 00:38:02 It is ready to be deployed quickly if there are more sightings of Wally in busy harbour areas over the coming days. A boat owner who lost his... vessel to Wally last week, used towels to gather the animals scent. Hang on, what? Use towels to gather the animals sent before the boat sank. Oh, these towels have now been used to scent the pontoon in the hope of encouraging Wally to use it when or if it is deployed. Is used towels to gather the animals sent a sort of epithet for he soaked up the piss or something? That could be it, or maybe he did boost a newt.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Yeah But so he's His boat is sinking in front of him And like He's like got to get the piss Yeah got to get the towels Gotta get this big lad's piss Get it
Starting point is 00:38:53 As good as good as the story and photo is Of Wally having a sofa I cannot get over the fact The other picture Just looks like he owns a boat And is passing by It's Wally's boat On the back it says Wally's boat
Starting point is 00:39:08 Fantastic Yeah, anyway It continues And while this potential response Would require close liaison With the Coast Guard Local authorities Wildlife Marine or Port authorities
Starting point is 00:39:21 Miss Crose says They have also secured the use of a disused Rib which is more easily transported And installed SRI's responsible depend on where and when Wally is next sighted She said We have never done this before
Starting point is 00:39:33 So there are lots of learnings as we go We're getting assistance from BDML are and we are working with Orca, Ireland, and the West Cork Animal Welfare Group. But things have gone quiet over the weekend. So we think, and this is my favourite bit, he's flying below the radar, which is good for now. So there we are. Wally has just been causing havoc. If you happen to spot Wally, I don't know if we have any listeners in that area of the world,
Starting point is 00:40:00 but call the SRIs 247 our hotline on 087-195-3-393 to report a Wally sighting. Where's Wally is what they should have put in. Where's Wally? Yeah, what the hell? Come on. There we are. It's such a British slash Irish slash kind of European thing where you know, there are places in the world where you have real issues with forest fires or like
Starting point is 00:40:28 snow like shuts down the entire country because it's like 12 feet deep or those animals that want to kill you. You can't go swimming because of the Great Whites. up here, our walrus appears and it is absolute carnage because of a single walrus who is just, we're just not prepared for it. We don't know
Starting point is 00:40:48 what to do about it, you know? I love it. All the emergency responses have mobilized. The community effort, we must build this walrus a couch. It's, is that, I don't, I mean, I guess it's better than him just constantly going to other boats, but is
Starting point is 00:41:04 that just giving him a reason to stay in the area? I mean, maybe he's, maybe he could become like a wishing well everyone throws coins at him oh god no no no leave wally do not throw coins at
Starting point is 00:41:14 Wally please don't do not approve that message but there we are that's my thing and I pray that we get more
Starting point is 00:41:21 Wally News very soon yeah let's keep Wally Watch going big fan we've got a question here from Shana at Strange Penny 12 we know that one
Starting point is 00:41:31 we know that one I hope you well Shana Shana says which Pokemon would you eat for a starter main and dessert
Starting point is 00:41:39 I'm going to have to pull up a picture of I'm just going to choose the original 151 because I don't even want to think about the others okay I could rattle mine off right now if I want to get super basic about it and just sort of try and equate Pokemon to their real life
Starting point is 00:41:59 inspirations Taurus is surely one Taurus is the main course yeah and that's a bull have that for lunch And then start a, maybe an oddish, some greens, you know. Yeah, yeah. And then for dessert, probably that fucking ice cream Pokemon that they've made now, which is stupid. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:21 There we are. Easy. Easy. I wouldn't mind for a starter. What's the crab one called? Craby? Craby. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:32 You could have some nice crabby patte or something. Oh, crabby patte just sounds like an upmarket sponge bob menu. Yeah, it's delicious. The secret recipe to the crabby patte. Secret crabby patte formula. I'd have ditto for dessert. Oh, I was thinking, yeah, a big ball of jelly.
Starting point is 00:42:51 Quite tasty, yeah. And then for the main, I don't know, I mean, obviously Taurus is a good shout, but I'm trying to think of something different. Maybe, what if I felt like a size. duck. Hoysen crispy
Starting point is 00:43:08 side duck I would have in pancakes. Oh, very good. Yeah. That'd be nice. I think to start I'm not going to eat far-fetched,
Starting point is 00:43:17 but he comes a far-fetched just to steal his leak. Yeah, I'm just going to steal his leak and send him on his way. Steal, Q-Bones bone, just get a broth going. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Baby, you've got a stew going. Oh, baby. I think, hmm, how poisonous are these like poisonous mushroom Pokemon's Pokemon's
Starting point is 00:43:37 Pokemon's Pokemon? You can just go to the Pokemon Centre seemingly
Starting point is 00:43:40 there is no death apart from when there is death conveniently yeah in the lavender
Starting point is 00:43:44 town I'll I'll take a lovely I have a mushroom vile plume for my main
Starting point is 00:43:53 yeah I'll tell you what oh I'm fancying what else what is take what is grimer
Starting point is 00:44:02 that's just sludge you don't want that Yeah, that's, what do you call it, gruel, I think. Yeah, I think it's like the, at the end of the day, they scrape down all the grills. Yeah. And then, they serve that the next day. You don't want that.
Starting point is 00:44:15 You don't want that. You do want that. Oh, yum, yum. Give me a grimer. Oh, man, okay. Why not just have mug at that point? Yeah. That's what he evolves into, the bigger grimer.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Oh, the crab Pokemon is literally called crabby. I thought that was a joke. Nope. No, it's called crabby. Nope. That's it. I could have chose cloister. Wow, I really execute.
Starting point is 00:44:37 I could have had eggs. It was execute. Yeah, I was going to say that's an obvious one that we all missed. Sorry. Really, really. I chose the shit end of this. I panicked and just went for literal grime and gruel. Just chopped the bulb off a bulbosol.
Starting point is 00:44:51 That's probably pretty good. Tangela, it's bloody, it's spaghetti. Oh, Tangela, yeah, yeah, just spaghetti. Yeah, yeah. What about a nice Voltorb gobstopper for dessert? Oh, yeah. It does have a tendency to only know the move self-destruct, though, so just be aware. The never-lasting gobstop, it'll be.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Yes. You only ever need one. Yeah, that's true. That's true. There are actually a fair few Pokemon that are based on edible animals. I mean, I guess most animals are edible, but, you know, ones that are typically eaten. I mean, there's pidgy. Some people eat pigeons.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Yeah, that's true. There's, you know, if you fish, there's Magikarp and, you know, the like. Could Diglitt theoretically be a potato or is it another kind of vegetable? Yeah, it could be. But we don't know what's on the other end of it. That's the problem. We don't. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Wow, I've never looked at, having all the Pokemon in front of me is a wild experience. I've never looked at them this intently, but what a collection of lads and lasses. Mm-hmm. Yeah, they're looking good. could have a nice bit of um squid if you if you fancy it um i can't remember their names the two squiddy ones tentacle yeah tentacle and tent to crawl yeah um yeah lots to choose from much to think about much to think about i think even mew looks quite tasty as maybe a dessert like a sort of gummy mew or something i'd eat a little pink by the size there's only one but i'd eat it yeah it's like the
Starting point is 00:46:26 one in the Simpsons, the special gummy. Vino de Milo, is that it? Yeah, that one. Sorry, I just googled Pokemon Food. What the fuck is. Sorry, Ben, I just heard that noise you made for Vino de Milo. Oh, Bella.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Oh. What have you found, Mikey? Sorry, Mikey. I just Google Pokemon Food, and there's a horrifying image. I'll not describe it until I've read the headline. Pokemon fans appalled as Food Network posts explicit image of
Starting point is 00:46:56 Pikachu being stuffed. Oh. Oh, God, okay. It's exactly... He is enjoying that, question mark? It's... Audio description. It's like a paper-mache-looking Pikachu on his back screaming with his hands up,
Starting point is 00:47:12 while a man quite delicate... Well, two people, it looks like, actually. Insert a rod up his... His... his... his... his... his... his... his... his... his... his... his... his... his... his... his... his... his... he's... he's... Whoa, the finished product is so good Hold on Hold on, it gets better Oh wow
Starting point is 00:47:28 So you say this is the food network Is this edible? Is this food? What's he made out? For more context So the first part of the image is him being stuffed And then the final result is him like Screaming with anger
Starting point is 00:47:44 Being held up by some kind of contraption Of yellow PVC pipe it looks like Which has been up his bum for stability, and on the end of his hands, it's just, it looks like little bits of dynamite sparkling. I mean, I'd be inclined to add those to the thread so people know what we're talking about. Yeah, we have to. I'll do that. Wow. They've got to see it. Wow. Wonderful. What, is that cake? That must be cake. It might be cake, I guess, but geez. It does look like Papier-Mashe. Bent hula hoop that's not round anymore. Why is he sat in that? It's all angrily.
Starting point is 00:48:21 I've, well, whatever show this is, I need to watch it now. Yeah. This week's episode of the Food Network Challenge. That's why it's called. How traumatized can we make children this week? Would you like to hear my thing? I would love to. Please, before I continue to talk about this, this poor, poor Pikachu.
Starting point is 00:48:43 You may have heard about this. I was shocked and appalled. Google Street View for Loch Ness brings up man's X-rated photo Oh, oh dear When Google Maps users went in search of Nessie The Loch Ness Monster This certainly wasn't what they had in mind
Starting point is 00:49:04 This is according to Ladd Bible Who incidentally, I've just realised Maybe I should have found a different write-up Because I kind of don't want to support Ladd Bible Given they doxed Paul Chuckel Do you know about this? It was mental No, I didn't know
Starting point is 00:49:16 They reposted a video Admittedly it was someone else else's video but lad bible reposted it to a much wider audience of someone and paying the guy for the video and paid the guy for it calling up paul chuckle on their phone i don't know if like maybe paul chuckle rang some kind of service or goods business and they some and that's how they got his number but um it just they were holding up their phone facetiming paul chuckle and while it was ringing it just had his mobile number on the screen and that went out on lad bible and paul chuckle had to change his number because he said he'd been getting phone calls and stuff and he was really old
Starting point is 00:49:53 that's not no yeah he was like don't know who shared my number but you know very cross about it or something fucking lad bible but anyways too late i'm going to have to read this now but hey don't don't go looking for this article read it somewhere else fuck lad bible yeah um an x-rated photo of a naked man appearing in street view has got twitter users tittering A man from London has got people in hysterics after making a shocking discovery on Google Maps. He went searching for Nessy, the mythical monster, which is said to live at the bottom of Loch Ness in Scotland, sorry, Loch Ness. But instead, was greeted by a photo of a man leaving nothing to the imagination. Taking to Twitter to share what he'd found, he explained that if you search for Loch Ness in Google Maps, then switch to Street View, there's a surprise in store.
Starting point is 00:50:45 He posted to Twitter and said, public announcement. Search Loch Ness in Google Maps and click on the street view. I apologize in advance. I'm now going to send the very censored image to you guys in Discord. We're probably not adding this one. Oh, wow. What the fuck. It's full frontal nudity, waist down.
Starting point is 00:51:09 What? That image has been double censored and they've covered it up with a white bar and then also blurred the whole thing. But they haven't blurred his nipples, which is disgusting. revolting the male nipple hide it um so uh the article look at any more peter make it go the article doesn't go in to some extra detail that i found out by looking around the hashtag um or like the trend when this was trending okay so this just talks about like you know this image is on there and people on twitter were disgusted if that's wish if that's nessy i would wish we'd never found him replied one person disgusting what a flipping disgrace uh which one
Starting point is 00:51:55 he has put a naked photo on google her disgusting very pissed off yeah um so i found two tweets um on the trend from spenge blob at spenge underscore blob who said i did some investigative journalism and i found that he gets off on posting his nudes to popular attractions on Google such as Disney World and an all-girls Japanese high school. Oh my God, I forgot about that bit. That's horrible.
Starting point is 00:52:28 He gets turned on by the high view counts of the photos. And there's another example of him holding a selfie stick and posing naked somewhere. Oh, at a Victoria's Secret. What a tyrant. God. God.
Starting point is 00:52:44 And the second tweet from Spenge Blob. It says he also keeps a map and a total view count. And there's a screenshot of what looks like it might be a Reddit post saying a map of the places I posted naked photos on Google Maps.
Starting point is 00:53:00 And then at the top it just says where I post naked photos and then there's a load of pins all over the world. And then at the bottom it says 36,018,199 total Google views. Good. That's fucked up.
Starting point is 00:53:19 It's really fucked up because, you know, people... Yes, okay, the internet sometimes has nudes on it and nudity, but, you know, maybe just let people choose if that's what they want to go looking for on, you know, perhaps a relevant website. It's not for this man to decide when we get to see, or more to the point, have to see, a naked will... I'm just going to send the pictures to you or what I'll do is I'll just send a tweet to you
Starting point is 00:53:51 because it's easier. What an absolutely monster. Jesus Christ. I can't believe they've gotten through. Surely with all of the bullshit and hopes that we have to jump through on YouTube, they would have some sort of AI screening to like know if there was a lot of flesh in a photo, you know?
Starting point is 00:54:13 I've sent you a tweet. Oh wow, yeah, there he is. A link to his tweet. So does he take, that photo looks like he's taken a naked photo of himself at the attraction? Is that just photoshopped in for the purpose of the story? I don't think they're all taken at the attractions, because if you scroll down, so there's a reply to that first tweet, which is Spenge Blob's second tweet, which shows his map. and he's got photos all over the world of, you know, pictures of being naked.
Starting point is 00:54:46 Like there's one on Madagascar, one in the middle of Australia, one in the middle of Russia. So I'm guessing he doesn't go to the places, which surely even that, even putting aside the fact that people can abuse this system and put nudes on Google Maps,
Starting point is 00:55:01 surely Google, you would think that they would require to be some location data on your photo? Like, I could just take, I could draw the Angel of the North, on a B-a-MAT, take a photo of it and add it to Street View on Google Maps at the Angel of the North, if I've one of those 360 cameras.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Like, why are they not checking this thing? Right, it's time to abuse the system. Let's upload a photo of Dave Benson-Philips at somewhere. You ready for this? At somewhere. Yeah. Should we all do it? She'll choose a place.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Yeah, I'm going to go for Angel of the North because I think that's a good shout. He is the angel of them. He is our angel of the north. Angel of the North. So how do we do this? Right, I'm at Angel of the North. I'm just going to add the... Is it just add a photo?
Starting point is 00:55:53 The map of the man's nudes to the thread. I'm not going to add any of the nude photos, but you guys won't struggle to find them at home. If indeed you want to see them. However, if you do search for the angel of the north, I'm going to add the ball pit photo of Dave Benson Phillips. Let's save image. I'm going to choose a good and if I'm going to do it.
Starting point is 00:56:16 I've selected a company called Just Vans in Frome. That is way too easy to share a photo. What? Yeah, I think I've just done it. Yeah, you just literally drag and drop a photo and it's like, cool, it'll be there soon. Wow, that's mental. Anyway, yeah, I've just chose Just Vans, a business in Frome, and I've uploaded the picture of Dave next to his van.
Starting point is 00:56:39 It's fantastic. There's a lot of photos of the Angel of the North I'm doing a lot of scrolling but I'm just waiting for Dave and his ball pit hang on, still scrolling God there's a lot of photos I just want to make sure
Starting point is 00:56:53 There it is, it's there, it's already there Wow, what the hell that's so easy Yeah, Dave's already on the, Jesus That's fucking bonkers That's absurdly easy I'm about to add Dave holding a bucket of gunge to Buckingham Palace
Starting point is 00:57:10 because he is our king I think I've picked a landmark that is too popular for photos I'm I'm scrolling Oh yeah mine might be the same Still scrolling to get to the bottom of these photos I've gone the opposite way I've attacked a small business
Starting point is 00:57:26 Yeah you have There is There is he's not even near the bottom I'll take a screenshot Okay So how do I How do this This is
Starting point is 00:57:40 This is fucking ridiculous How broken this is Right, here we go Why don't we have like A comp, oh we should have made it as a competition See who can choose the one that survives the longest And do like every episode we check in To see how our Dave's are doing
Starting point is 00:57:56 How many views our Daves have got There he is At the Angel of the North Fantastic Can someone add that to the stretch? For it for me, please. Yeah, that's the best thing I've ever seen. I wish I could provide details like just my uncle at the Angel of the North.
Starting point is 00:58:18 A great family fun day. There was a ball pit and everything. There he is. I've changed my mind. I know where I'm going to put Dave and I'll have it in just a moment. I can't believe it's this. It's just like when we edited the information for the Make My Meatface factory. And just change the business information.
Starting point is 00:58:39 Suggest an edit. Yeah. It was like, okay, approved. Why? Suggest an edit. Why has that been approved? Why am I allowed to do that? I was going to say,
Starting point is 00:58:48 it's not going to be long before we get banned from Google, but if that guy can plaster his knob all over the world, that's right? This is nowhere near as damaging. Just because we're whipping out our DBP everywhere, it doesn't mean that we... It's a cheeky Benson. Have we just invented a new thing called Dave bombing?
Starting point is 00:59:04 Yeah. You put like a relevant picture of Dave in a location. photo uploading yeah I'm going to do it I'm going to put him in the car park as well done right add this man to the car park
Starting point is 00:59:17 can't wait for this podcast episode to come up with his evidence in a courtroom it's going to happen I love it thanks for sharing your photo your photo will be public on Google Maps soon contribute more it says I don't like that my photos had 10 views
Starting point is 00:59:33 how is that even it tells you how many views your photos had I'm scrolling I'm doing a big scroll trying to find my picture be in there somewhere it will be oh god my bloody name's attached to that picture
Starting point is 00:59:47 yeah so's mine so is fine oh oh Jesus I've also picked a popular site here oh fucking out I'm just clicking through my profile and like there's no reviews there's two photos of Dave Benson Phillips it's already had four views
Starting point is 01:00:01 the Angel of the North parking and Angel of the North actual Angel of the North and then if you go to the edits tab, it's the, it's the approved change for Feld Hoyer's food groups, GMBH. What a legacy. I just changed the category of their business. Fuck me.
Starting point is 01:00:21 I picked a, we might have to move on while I'm scrolling down here to find mine because there's just the same photo over and over again. I can see, I mean, it's a highly photographed landmark, but. Oh. Big shout out, by the way, to the people who've left reviews from Poddiots for Feld Hoyer's food group. Oh, really? I'm just discovering me. Yeah, Liam Pickles, five stars, meat.
Starting point is 01:00:48 Daniel Tribe, five stars, meat products. Leather duck, five stars, Billy Babylonie. Five stars, sausage boy, the best meat products to put your face on. And five stars, Connor Bennett, the best meat products, don't forget to tell your friends. Brilliant. Well done, guys. Oh my God, that's so good. Oh, dude.
Starting point is 01:01:07 All from like six months ago. Completely missed that. I may never, I may never see Dave again. He's somewhere in the ocean. Dave's face, a very, a close-up of Dave's happy face is now listed amongst one of thousands of images of Mount Rushmore. And I really wanted to get a screenshot of Dave alongside four great presidents. But he's just gone forever.
Starting point is 01:01:34 Oh, fucking hell. I'll never find the image again. This is brilliant. I posit now that every episode where we post the Dave to Twitter, we also add Dave to the same landmark every episode. So we just slowly build a supply of Dave Benson Phillips photos on our landmark. A Dave to base. Very good, yeah. That's very good. I like that.
Starting point is 01:02:04 Yeah. Do you think one day James could be like I'm in the family I have a trip up north what's the to do and then he just sees himself He's just going to see himself in a ball pin
Starting point is 01:02:14 I don't remember that I've never been to the age of the north I don't know if you'll find yours easily Peter because I found mine by chance and it wasn't at the bottom it was just like halfway through so I don't know there were like different tabs on the left hand side
Starting point is 01:02:28 you could scroll between and it was like your reviews and photos and right yeah and my photo and stuff. Okay, well, I'll make sure it's on there, but I'll ask a question, in fact, as well do next. Okay. So, you get to bring back, this is from L, sorry, at L is playing with underscores on Twitter. You get to bring back one TV show from the dead. What is it? And why? I've got a couple of potential answers. One more predictable than the other. I've talked before
Starting point is 01:03:01 about how frustrated I was that the final season of Whitechapel never got greenlit so I would bring that back purely for selfish reasons just because I want an end to that story but putting that aside I would bring back Michael Barrymore's
Starting point is 01:03:20 kids say the funniest things Oh my God, actually Yes, yes, okay I was wobbly there but now I'm on board Which which was, I believe, originally an American format
Starting point is 01:03:35 that was just imported. Well, yeah, there's Bill Cosby in America. Oh, God, it was, wasn't it? Oh, no, I forgot about that. Oh, no. What is with that show and disgraced presenters? I mean, there's different levels of disgraced, but, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 01:03:50 Michael Barrymore, I suppose innocent until proven guilty, but weird stuff happened at his house that is yet to be fully explained. but that aside I remember watching that show as a kid and pre-controversy I was a huge Michael Barrymore fan
Starting point is 01:04:07 I thought he was one of the best people on TV you know he was a great host it was very entertaining and even putting him aside that show was great like they would just put three kids on chairs on the stage and they would literally just ask them questions
Starting point is 01:04:23 like you know what does your mummy and daddy do and what's your favorite thing in the world? And the kids would just always come out with absolute gold. I mean, presumably they filmed for about twice as long as any given episode turned out to be post-edit. But I remember finding that show really funny, even as a child. So, you know, I think that would be great to bring back.
Starting point is 01:04:51 You know, Lizzie would have kids as young as like four or five on there. and yeah just bait them into saying brilliant stuff and I presume Pachiti has a suggestion box in the office but I'm for seeing next Tuesday if he hasn't already absolutely yeah absolutely needs to be amongst the roster wow yeah yeah I forgot about that show yeah god I think for my for my serious show like much like your Whitechapel the one that I want a conclusion to is the UK version of Utopia
Starting point is 01:05:21 fucking yeah that was really good like sci-fi series which got cut short and it had so much potential but they stripped it away but if I wanted something just purely for enjoyment I want a new series of Takeshi's castle but that is just basically exactly the same as you all do on
Starting point is 01:05:40 not overproduced not weird just like just get Craig Charles back in the room and get him laughing at some people falling over I just want some more of that please thank you I would love that and also just so I can have the chance to have a go of the course yeah yeah that'd be a life for
Starting point is 01:05:55 dream come true uh i've got three uh two of which are comedies and parks and wreck is i think probably my favorite television show ever and i think it's also got one of the strongest final seasons of any show in that it wraps it up so nicely and so wonderfully that they should never ever touch it again apart from the brief covid episode they did like everyone did last year where it's just all on zoom or whatever um but still very selfishly i want all of the cast to come back and do new seasons you know that would have been great to have them sort of react to Pokemon go in all the parks and like why are all these people in the parks and stuff yeah that's good good show there's it was they were just such an inherently likable bunch and there were so many brilliant characters and
Starting point is 01:06:48 supporting characters in that show that i just i wouldn't be sad if it went on forever but obviously it would be diminishing returns and it would be terrible before too long. But I would, I would like that to come back. Also, if they managed to get all of the cast back, community. Obviously, Donald Glover is supremely successful outside of that now and he left a couple of seasons before the end and then it sort of nose dived in quality to an extent. But if they could get to sort of their season two, three, heyday when it was just sort of like peak television, peak comedy television, very Dan Harmon, really, really good stuff. I would love for that to still be going.
Starting point is 01:07:30 And my third option is a wrestling show, and that's Lucha Underground, which was absolutely absurd, and it was set in this like grungy warehouse, and there was like a dragon man and a man from the future who travelled through time, and it was really sort of telenovela, like intentionally hokey with its special effects and stuff. It was so stupid, but it was amazing, and I loved it. And they did four seasons of it, and then it got cancelled. Oh, wow. And it was shot like a proper TV show, so it wasn't like wrestling, which just never ends.
Starting point is 01:08:06 It just goes on and on and on and on. And I would love for that to come back, too. So, yeah, there's a few. That's the kind of wrestling that I could get involved in again. Like, I quite liked, and I guess they still do it to an extent. I don't know if they do it more or less, or maybe they don't still do it in kind of wwe but when you know the notion that like one of the wrestlers is undead and you know like you know one of them is like maybe i don't know like a time traveling pirate or something like stuff like that
Starting point is 01:08:35 i always thought was like no this is this is cool and like weird and stupid like if if you know because i find wrestling a little bit it's it's silly and cheesy and a bit ridiculous and i kind of feel like if it's going to be like that it should go it should come in all the way and it yeah There should be like an alien in it and there should be, you know, a bit like, I guess that's partly why I like Tekken. Yeah, it's very Tekken. It's sort of Mortal Kombat and Tekken, the TV show, Lucha Underground. Yeah, I was going to say, most, probably most big fighting franchises do similar things in the gaming
Starting point is 01:09:09 world where you have like a bear or like a lizard and they're fighting. Well, there is a lizard. There's a lizard in it. She's a person, but she wears a luchador mask and she is just, she's a lizard. That's what she is. That's what she's meant to be. She's the lizard queen. That's her.
Starting point is 01:09:26 Oh, it was so ridiculous. It was so stupid. The owner worked out of a little office right next to the ring and would sometimes come out during matches and change the rules. And his half-brother, who's a monster, who's sort of like bought from that episode of the Simpsons, lives in the basement and he has a special key. And he lets him out and he kills people. And then he goes back in again.
Starting point is 01:09:48 It's so ridiculous. It was brilliant. I loved it very much. You've very much sold me on this series. I've got to say that... Oh, you should look it up. Lucha Underground is fantastic. So good.
Starting point is 01:09:59 I heard it being talked about in the office from time to time, and I just assumed it was... Yeah, just a popular Mexican wrestling, pro wrestling show, like basically just a BWE, but kind of based in South America or Central America or something. So I just assumed it was relatively straight, but just with Luchadors in it. But, yeah, it sounds good.
Starting point is 01:10:20 Very hammy, very over the top. It's good stuff. Recommend it. I've been scrolling for fucking ages. Still going. On the latest photos of Mount Rushmore, Dave is not there, but I've checked Google,
Starting point is 01:10:32 and my contributions to Google in the photos tab are a photo of Dave Benson Phillips to Mount Rushmore. So... Nice, it is there. If anyone can find Dave in the photos of Mount Rushmore
Starting point is 01:10:43 and send us a screenshot of him amongst other photos of Mount Rushmore, I'd be very pleased. There's pictures of... You can see other people who've abused this to a lesser extent
Starting point is 01:10:52 where they've just put like their Lego build of Mount Rushmore into the photos. But I could scroll all day and seemingly he's not in the quote unquote
Starting point is 01:11:03 latest photos so I don't know I don't know what's going on. Dave Graham Lincoln. Yes. Someone's put a photo of Donald Trump just a photo of Donald Trump
Starting point is 01:11:17 as in I guess they're saying that he should be carved into it as well. Well, didn't Trump ask about that? Apparently that was a story. Yeah, he's like quietly asked like, yeah. Can we add another face to the mountain? Yeah. What a bell end.
Starting point is 01:11:32 I'm going to have to stop scrolling because every time I scroll, I'm thinking I'm going to have to make sure I edit the scrolling noise out of the podcast. And the more the more I scroll, the, uh, what if you, like, you just send meters away from Benson? If you stop now, you'll never see it. That could be. That's the thing. I'm holding my mouth. my mouth, my mouse away from my microphone, but...
Starting point is 01:11:55 To hear a creaking away in the background. Where is he? Google says he's on there, but he's just not. He's in there somewhere. We'll find it. We'll find him. We best move on, I'm afraid, but, man, I'm going to give up. Is it Mikey's turn?
Starting point is 01:12:08 It is my turn. You find yourself cleaning out the basement of an old British army base, and you cross... You cross? Yes. Good job, Michael. First line in you're nailing it. And you come across an ancient, dusty film reel. You hook it up. The projector, words to life.
Starting point is 01:12:29 That's the noise. Warm it up. On 1,000 tastepost. Vanilla. Cream. That's a 10. That's a 10. Sorry, Michael.
Starting point is 01:12:41 The projector, words to life, and grainy old black and white images begin to play in front of you. And the narrator explains how a drug was given to the Royal Marine Commandos in a cup of water 25 minutes later the first effects of the drug
Starting point is 01:12:57 became apparent welcome to the true tale of when the British army toyed around with giving unsuspecting men a mind-altering chemical namely LSD is this the story that those
Starting point is 01:13:13 sort of gifts slash videos came out of where it's just men just they can't cannot. They just cannot, I can't even think of the word. They can't control themselves. Yeah, they can't soldier. They're just sort of like laughing hysterically. Oh yeah. Playing with their helmets. Not like that. Just sort of being quite daft. Yeah, this is exactly. It's quite a famous
Starting point is 01:13:37 video and I've seen clips of it. But sitting down and watching the full 15 minute thing is an experience and it's even better like once you realize just how true it all is and kind of just the full story surrounding it and how bonkers it is. So come with me on a drug-induced adventure, boys. Do we have to take drugs to be on the adventure? Well, you'll find it's already been added to your water, so you should stop. Oh, no, no, I can't soldier. So this black and white footage from 1964 shows the usually ferociously well-driven servicemen, well-drilled servicemen, and I apologise, lying flat on their backs, helpless with laughter or staggering against trees, intoxicated by the hilarity of the whole situation, and of course also intoxicated by the acid.
Starting point is 01:14:27 These experiments gave a whole new meaning to the war on drugs. The narrator proclaims, it's a very cutesy, like classic, And the boys, they went out, and in 50, it's that kind of voice. Yeah, some British path. British path. One hour in 10 minutes after taking the drug. I'm not going to do the accent. With one man climbing a tree to feed the birds,
Starting point is 01:14:49 the troop commander gave up, admitting he could no longer control himself nor his men. He himself then relapsed into laughter. That's a taste of what... These men weren't armed, were they? We'll get into that. Oh, fucking hell. This field exercise conducted by the government's secret
Starting point is 01:15:08 porting down chemical weapons research establishment was the first in a series that would end in failure. It was about a half a century ago now that the military's experimentation with acid ended with the chairman of the Chemical Defense Advisory Board declaring that the idea of using LSD as a weapon of war was more, quote, more magical than scientific. This example was one in a series of quite nefarious experiments with the mind-altering chemical, lysurgic, acid, diathlonide.
Starting point is 01:15:37 There you go, you learn something as well. That's what LSD means. Look at that. I've already forgotten it, though. Me. In the early 1950s, they had explored the possibility of administering LSD in interrogations as a truth drug. British servicemen were allegedly asked if they would volunteer to help with research into finding a cure for the common cold. Then it was later claimed that they were given LSD, which is, wowie, what a sucker punch that is. Drink this water, it'll take your sore throat away.
Starting point is 01:16:07 There you go. You'll be all right. By the early 1960s, Port and Down had the same interest in nerve agents. but the focus on LSD had shifted from its potential use as a truth drug to a means of incapacitating the enemy. The hope was that LSD and other such chemical weapons could produce a, quote, humane type of warfare, which... I mean, it's right when going around tripping up balls trying to feed the birds. It definitely changes the vibe of the battlefield. They tried all sorts of things during these trials. In 1962, the British noted that their American counterparts were,
Starting point is 01:16:43 exploring the possibility of weaponising cannabis to make it a battlefielding capacity. I'd like to see that. Everyone just has a good time and has a few crisps. That would be very down. Yeah, I'll sit down. I'm too tired. Just pass the Pringles. It'd be all right. And so, on Tuesday, December 1st, 1964, 17 volunteers from the 41st Royal Marine Commando were given water containing 200 micrograms of LSD. I've got no idea what that means. assume that's a good amount. There would eventually be... That's a lot of tiny, tiny amount.
Starting point is 01:17:21 I'm assuming that wouldn't be two grams, would it? No, two micrograms. It's like, what is a microgram? That's tiny, tiny. Yeah, it's very tiny. I just Google it and it says it's really small. The Google image results, you can't even see it.
Starting point is 01:17:36 There would eventually be three such field exercises. Someone at Porton Down had the sense of humor to recognize that the letter's LSD were also the pre-decimal symbols for pounds, shillings and pence. Hence the codenames, money bags, recount and small change. Money bags. I think it's very cheap. Hey, they're good code names.
Starting point is 01:17:59 Leave them alone. Money bags, the December 1964 exercise, was the first. For the sake of safety, the troops didn't handle any live animation during the exercise. You'll be glad to know, Ben. Okay. So it was all safe. It was essentially, yeah, it's a fake scenario. They're instructed to act as realistically as possible.
Starting point is 01:18:20 Just pretend it's an actual procedure as training missions tend to go. The 17 Marines were tasked with capturing as many terrorists as possible and hunting for hidden stores during a training exercise. There was an initial control group who performed their duties with great skill exactly as they were trained to do. And so with the first group passing with flying colours, it was time for the the trippers to come out the second day the exercise was when things started to get interesting after drinking a very out of tune like trumpet like the trumpet player is high
Starting point is 01:18:57 as fuck and he's trying desperately to play that laughing through the trumpet and here they come I'm shambling out actually that's where the first grateful dead album came from it was a military man on the trumpet who just freestyled it. it and invented the whole new juggie music. Take that Grateful Dead. Fucking unexpected slam from Michael Johnson. Grateful Dead, whoa, Grateful Dead are known for their LSD influence. It's a compliment, if anything.
Starting point is 01:19:26 Is it? Probably not. I don't know. I don't know. As long as it doesn't sound like an out-of-tune trumpet, then that's why. No, it's not. It's a lovely little group of hillbilly hippies. He's having a lovely sing-thong.
Starting point is 01:19:38 Anyway, anyway. After drinking their LSD, the Marines headed to Port and Down for a small-scale field exercise in which they were hunting the six terrorists. As you could guess... That's a really bad start to any sentence or story. After drinking their LSD, the Marines went to the nearby town to hunt terrorists. I can only go badly. Oh, God.
Starting point is 01:20:00 They captured six squirrels. They interrogated them for hours. It was a nightmare. As you could guess, it did not. proceed with the normal military efficiency. Things started off relatively normal. The men proceeded with their mission and made ground towards their objectives. They did so with great skill, using everything they had learned through their years of training.
Starting point is 01:20:22 So, like, they're going through the fields, like the spread out as not to, you know, be an easy target. They're ducking undercover and, like, you know, every once in a while stopping to get, like, a glance at what's ahead of them, you know, just doing it as you should in a battlefield scenario. The sober narrator explains, at 1140. the first effects of the drug make their appearance and as a result two marines are reported to the troop commander for insubordination. The men at this time were completely unaware that their behavior was due to the drug. So a little bit into the mission, some men start acting a bit weird and the
Starting point is 01:20:56 commander's like, well lads, calm down, come on, get it together. The commander at this point, also under the influence of the drug. The troops push on, but now with a complete lack of urgency to their actions, just giggling the entire way, not bothering to take cover, just kind of meandering through this field. At this point, the scene is more reminiscent of a lovely walk through the woods as opposed to a finely tuned military mission. As they proceed, suddenly they come under, quote and quote, enemy fire from a distant combatant. So over in the distance, there's this little shed kind of structure and blanks are being fired towards the men. The men jump to the floor for cover, still continuing to giggle all the while
Starting point is 01:21:38 the umpire ruled that the radio operator of the group had been killed by the fire and thus left the mission not that he was much use at this point anyway as he was rendered completely unable to operate his equipment in his current state so one man down they were tasked then with decommissioning the enemy combatants and so the rocket launcher team was deployed
Starting point is 01:22:00 oh one man right okay So, yeah, I think they signal back and get the rocket boys on the goal. And at this point, the documentary cuts to footage of two men fumbling around with a rocket launcher, like struggling to even pick up the weapon, eventually gets on his shoulder, and it's just rocking everywhere. Like, it's completely the uses at this point. And they're both just, again, smirking and giggling to themselves this entire time while holding this massive weapon. And so it's established that they're completely incapable of carrying out this task as well. At this point, it's all kind of gone to shit.
Starting point is 01:22:39 There's a lull in the battle. And the men simply just begin hanging around in the trees, laughing, having a nice time with each other. Suddenly, a flashbang is deployed amongst the men. But only one soldier responds sufficiently to capture the combatant. The others don't really do anything, despite literally being so close to an enemy. They just kind of stand around and look around. around, like, what's just happened? One man slowly staggers towards, like, a bit of the trees trying to find out where this has come from, and no one else really gives a crap of what's going
Starting point is 01:23:09 on. With that, um, combatant captured, the men attempt to carry on and try to navigate to the next objective. At this point, the next objective is a mere 700 yards away from their current position, and this is in the middle of a wide open country field. So theoretically, this is home run, easy navigation. But they are so disoriented that they're incapable of figuring out the map and so begin arguing them on to each other trying to figure out where exactly is they're located on the map. And look at this with the lens of these are highly trained military people. Yeah, yeah. The picture of a group of men pointing at a map going, no, no, no, we're here. No, no, that's ridiculous. We're here while in the middle of a wide open field is quite amazing.
Starting point is 01:23:54 a lot of men at this point have no clear objective the commanders have no idea what they're doing and soldiers continue to line the floor and giggle profusely at this point the film pans to a prone giggling marine to an almost destroyed tree trunk
Starting point is 01:24:09 one soldier had almost managed to fell a tree using just his spade and it's not made clear if this was part of the mission or if he just did it for fun but it's quite impressive the commander at this point deems himself incapable of controlling
Starting point is 01:24:24 his men and steps down from his position. And the rest of the men just try and fob off this duty amongst each other, basically going, no, I'm not doing it, you do it, you do it for a couple of minutes. And while the men are here gathered arguing amongst each other, an enemy combatant just simply walks right past them completely undetected. Fucking hell. Just 70 minutes into the mission, with one man up a tree and the troop commander helpless, they just give up on the mission entirely.
Starting point is 01:24:53 the men now without any objectives and no mission and just simply awaiting transport back to the base just allow the drug to take hold and can be seen rolling around on the floor, giggling, having a great time and vehicles arrive to collect the men but at this point reality was so distorted that some of the men were just completely unwilling
Starting point is 01:25:13 to go near the vehicles and enter them I guess you're in the middle of a forest and this big van comes up and you're not doing that and you're on LSD it's a mad experience but eventually they all get them in
Starting point is 01:25:27 they heard them together and they return to the base at this point they're just casually sitting around discussing the effects kind of enjoying it but the commander tries to rein the men in
Starting point is 01:25:36 tries to get a bit of order going on but is instead just faced with laughter from the troops and one of the men even responds you're joking I think he asked them everyone stand to attention at the side of your beds
Starting point is 01:25:48 and everyone just kind of continues lie they're like joking on you're bugger off in another room the troop commander is experiencing one of the characteristic effects
Starting point is 01:25:57 of the drug everything he looks at appears to be patterned while looking at the white ceiling he describes geometrical patterns which are coloured and three dimensional they appear to move in and out of each other
Starting point is 01:26:07 and there's a little clip of him describing this and he just stood there like swaying just like with his hands going like moving his hands back and forth trying to replicate the motion it's absolutely mental to see one soldier who seemed to be in the throes of a bad trip was completely divorced from morality
Starting point is 01:26:21 Even now, three and a half hours after the administration of the drug, he does not know what he is doing or where he is. The Marine can be heard telling the medical observers, no, I've not died, mate. Back in 1964, the obvious incapacitation of the Marine seems to have been considered an encouraging start. So, I mean, if you want to tranquilize soldiers, it seems like a very good way to do it.
Starting point is 01:26:50 It is effective. Sadly, there was some concerns. After this experiment, recreational use of the drug was completely banned in the UK, and they considered delaying more trials with the drug until more was known about the long-term effects. The committee also noted, disconcerting results in one particular case of multiple self-administration and concern over possible addiction. Presumably, one of the port-and-down scientists had grown rather fond of the laboratory stock and made a name for himself as just sampling the product.
Starting point is 01:27:20 Wow. but the needs of humane warfare seemed to have come first. With all this in mind, they just carried on with more experiments. But sadly, all of them kind of finished with the same results. Well, not sadly.
Starting point is 01:27:34 It went well over and over again. So theoretically it could have worked, but they came into issues with how you actually administer the drug on a battlefield, because you can't exactly go to the enemy and say, here, have a glass of water. Yeah, I didn't wonder what the plan was there.
Starting point is 01:27:48 Like, if this turned out to be a good thing to use? Like, what do you do? You know, how do you get that in there? So they attempted, at some point, to deliver the drug in like a chemical gas cloud. Right. But there's the sheer amount of the drug
Starting point is 01:28:05 that you need to make that work is like, if it even works, it's going to be, it's going to mess someone up for a long time. And it's like chances of your own men inhaling it. We're pretty high. And at this point, they just thought, nap. Screw this. Not worth the effort.
Starting point is 01:28:19 And let me see. they're just totally, totally canned everything from there, deciding completely unable to use this in a battlefield, which probably is for the best. So at this point, the right decision was made in 1968 to cut the trial short, citing the notion of an incapacitator is a little more magical than scientific.
Starting point is 01:28:39 But there are evidence there, it's all you can say. But thus marks the end of LSD's time as part of the British Army's arsenal. Thankfully, the British Army's experimentation with the drug was a lot more innocuous than the American Americans during MK Ultra. They did some bat shit insane stuff for the drug. So just like
Starting point is 01:28:58 poisoning water supplies with it. Well, they were looking into like psychic stuff, mind control, weren't they? Partly via drug administration and stuff. But yeah, that's really weird stuff there. Yeah, thankfully
Starting point is 01:29:14 the British just gave it to some soldiers in a field and let them plod around for a bit and decided that's not worth it. Yeah, I After this, the British Army decided the experimenting was best left to the hippies. There you go. I highly recommend watching the video. It is hilarious seeing it in full context. If you just Google British Army LSD, that will come up.
Starting point is 01:29:36 I remember reading a study when I was doing psychology about it was, I think the whole point, the reason that we learned about it is because it was just like someone had just done something and called it an experiment, but it was like, what was the point of this? were you doing and they gave LSD to an elephant oh god yeah but they gave it even when you account for the size difference between a human and an elephant they gave it the equivalent amount of LSD that was a hundred times the dose you would have given like if you convert it into a human so the amount they gave to the elephant would be the equivalent of giving a human a hundred times the regular dose and that the elephant just like went like really crazy for a very brief time
Starting point is 01:30:21 and then it just, I think it just like had a heart attack and died. And it's like, okay, what have you learned there? What, hello? What were you doing? What were you doing? What were you doing to this expecting? Yeah. Maybe it could have increased brainpower of the elephants.
Starting point is 01:30:34 Yeah. Sadly, that's not how it works. Well, it's time for our final question. Thank you, Michael, for that. Thank you, boys. Ridiculous. I feel like we've not had this question before, but I've got a backup in case we have. Foxy-noxie at Shawnee,
Starting point is 01:30:51 score on Twitter, it says, what's your favourite holiday memory or strangest experience whilst there on holiday, presumably? Have we, we? We've not done that before, have we? I don't think. I don't think so. We might have done, like, where's the best place you've been, but in terms of specific
Starting point is 01:31:06 memories, do you have any fond or strange holiday memories? I've got a very weird thing that happened to me in San Francisco, which, again, we've been doing this podcast for too long to the point where I think every anecdote has been told, but I will tell this again in case I've not told you guys it before. So we were in
Starting point is 01:31:28 San Francisco and there is a bit of an issue in San Francisco with homelessness and mental health issues and drug abuse and things like that. It's kind of a well-known thing that it affects the city quite badly. So you do see quite a lot of people wandering around who clearly are in need of some help but a really strange thing happened to us where me and all my family were there years and years ago, I was about 13 and we were walking through Golden Gate Park and I was hanging slightly back behind the rest of my family and as I'm walking along this guy walks past me very very briskly he's this really tall guy who was like 6-2 really thin and he looked like he was on an absolute mission and he had a white lab coat on
Starting point is 01:32:18 but I noticed that underneath his lab coat he seemed to be wearing pajamas and slippers so I was like right where is this man from why is he in pyjamas but he's got like a doctor's coat on you know what's going on here and as he passed me
Starting point is 01:32:36 he reached into the top pocket of his lab coat he grabbed a handful of single dollar bills and threw them into the air and they went all over the floor and then he absolutely like legged it past my family and I was actually
Starting point is 01:32:53 I reacted quite in a well let's just say I might not react the same way now but I was like oh oh mom stop that man he just dropped his money as though like
Starting point is 01:33:04 I was like oh this man just dropped a load of money stop him stop him and I started gathering up all this money but he just like got out of there as soon as he could so then we had all this money all this cash and for a minute my parents were like
Starting point is 01:33:17 is this could this be laced with something like what is what was that man doing but in the end we just we took it and we went and had we went to like the the Japanese gardens I think they were it's a long time ago now
Starting point is 01:33:30 and we just had like green tea in the Japanese gardens on that man I mean let's face it what I'm getting at is he looked like he'd escaped from some sort of institution by stealing someone's jacket but I don't know what was going on
Starting point is 01:33:47 Yeah. That was pretty weird. How strange. I've got a similar-ish thing, not a man throwing money, but we used to go on holiday and do the, I don't know if you're familiar with a key camp. No. Which is like a brand of sort of package holidays that you can do in France, perhaps other places in Europe as well, but we used to do them in France. I've done similar things. We went to sunsites. Oh, yeah, that does sound very similar.
Starting point is 01:34:15 Yeah, and you just stay in a big tent. Is that it? It's like all set up. Oh, ours were like static caravans. Oh, right. Okay. But yeah, there was like a kids club. Yeah, I went to the kids club.
Starting point is 01:34:26 So your parents could relax. Yeah. You had to go and do shit. Exactly. It was just sort of like, yeah. They were like big tents that you could stay in. They had like a big sort of kitcheny communal area. And then there were separate compartments for people to sleep in.
Starting point is 01:34:42 So it was quite exciting. I think it was quite a cost effective holiday as well. and we used to get the ferry over and drive, and my dad would drive us. And one of the times, or perhaps a few of them, maybe, but certainly on one of the occasions that we had an issue with the car, it was like a knackard old Volvo, and the immobilizer on the locks used to play up from time to time, where it would just lock you out.
Starting point is 01:35:08 And you just sort of had to wait for the car to calm down, and then you could get back in. And I distinctly remember one time While we were waiting for our ferry We were in Calais And we'd gotten something to eat And we were parked near the sea Just so we could, you know
Starting point is 01:35:25 We had a view of some kind And the immobilizers fucked up And we were we were sort of stranded there With our ferry crossing impending Unable to get back into the car Because the immobilizer was just like No no you're not getting in You've got to wait
Starting point is 01:35:43 I think my sister cried. It was all very stressful. Oh, no. But we did, we did manage to get there, to get the ferry in the end. But that was, that's a memory that stuck with me is, is being temporarily marooned in Calais because our old Volvo just, um, just locked us out. Wow. Wouldn't let us in.
Starting point is 01:36:03 That was a thing that could happen. That is kind of horrifying, isn't it? Yeah. Didn't know if it would let us in. This isn't a particularly like weird and wacky one, but it definitely took me by surprise It was a lot of fun. As then when me and Claudia were in Singapore, we're visiting her sister and her boyfriend. And I think it was on like our last night in Singapore, like a last full proper day to enjoy it.
Starting point is 01:36:26 So we'd gone out for a meal, we're out for drinks. It was getting late in the night. It's right, right, let's get a taxi home. And so we sit there for about five minutes and then suddenly just this van pulls up. Basically, like a pimped out transit van is the best way I could describe it. The door slides open. it just reveals this neon bath party zone in the back of a van. So there's like speakers playing with music.
Starting point is 01:36:51 The van had neon lights underneath there. It's like lights spinning everywhere. I think there was some like fog rolling out as well. And I like, and it just turned to us like, right, this is the ride. Get in. It turns out in Singapore, there's a thing called like party buses, which essentially operate like taxis and you can just hire them to drive your round places. And you get in the back and it is just like a mobile party.
Starting point is 01:37:13 They've got like a sound system. You can choose any song you want to play. It'll get blast at the loudest volume. The best bit was the driver serves drinks while he's driving. What? So you just sit, could we have some vodka please? And you pour out a couple of shots for you, hand them back. And you carry, just carry you on driving.
Starting point is 01:37:32 And you're there, sing your heart out to the Venga boys drinking vodka in the back of a pimped out transit. And that's amazing. We got there and one piece. It was a wonderful, wonderful time. That's brilliant. I think we do that in the UK. now you can hire party buses What? Oh my
Starting point is 01:37:47 wait I don't think they just drive around Yeah I don't think they serve you The driver serves you drinks And the driver doesn't serve you drinks But people I've seen on like on TV and stuff I don't know like I don't know where I would have seen it But people
Starting point is 01:38:00 You hire a bus It's got like a basically a disco inside it Disco you know A club Disco yes We're going out for a disco on Saturday Yeah And yeah there's like
Starting point is 01:38:12 There's music and lights, and there probably are drinks there, but I don't think the driver serves them to you while you're driving along. That seems insane. I overtook one, leaving Gateshead. Oh, yeah. Well, really? Yeah, yeah. It's just a van that just said party van on the side.
Starting point is 01:38:29 Oh, yeah, look at that. That's incredible. Oh, God, yeah. Yeah, I guess the difference in Singapore is that these just operate like taxis. Like, they'll just park up outside of, like, popular areas just waiting to pay people up. That's great. There's like a whole army of them. It is absolutely amazing.
Starting point is 01:38:45 Wow. Incredible. Well, there we are. That's the podcast. Would you like to know what came out on Vidiots Slash is coming out on the Vidiots YouTube channel three years ago over the next two weeks? I'd love to know.
