I think it's time I published a book.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
I was out of curiosity.
I did a little scan on my, uh, my poddy.
It's Google Doc where everything gets thrown.
Now it's sitting at like 35,000 words, which I think that qualifies it to be a book.
This is our minimum books, because kids' books are very light on words, but they're still
classed as books.
Some books don't have words in them at all.
They're just pictures.
Oh, I've done extra good then.
I've got a lot of words.
That makes it very good.
Did you write all of those words yourself?
Yeah, they're your words, Michael.
It's a combination of copy and pasting and tweaking and writing.
So it's, I mean, if I just put at the bottom credit to all original authors, sorry, it's fine.
Like people do on YouTube.
That makes plagiarism okay.
Copyright belongs to all respect of owners.
And bam, you're free.
No copyrighting.
infringement intended, I owe nothing.
That'd be a sick day.
What are you going to call this book?
Oh, shit.
Oh, man, sprung that on me.
I'm ever sure thought of this.
Welcome to the...
You really should, yeah.
Is this the title that you're saying now?
Oh, shit.
Oh, man, you really...
Oh, you sprung not on me.
Yeah, that's it.
Bam.
That's good.
That's more words as well.
That's like ten more words.
Oh, true.
Yeah, the titles count as words.
Yeah, I'm making it count.
Yeah, I think so
This book is all about the word count
Not the content of how good it is
It's just look at how many words are in it
Wow
Wow
Can't wait to read it
I'll get a copy to you soon
How much is it
50
God's there he is
We got one into the intro
That's it
In the work
Get out Jogson
I know
That was the worst she hoarse
horning of Michael Jokes and I've ever heard
and I'm sorry to be the proponent of that.
It's not in the right quote.
Brilliant.
Well, sorry.
With that, we better...
Go and ask.
Yeah.
Hello, everybody and welcome to Pottie.

DBP and Lord B go to Red Square.
The generous sniper, Gryphon, I think.
Griffin.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
As in the mythological being.
Is that how you spell Griffin?
I refuse to believe that's how you spell...
You can spell it like that, or GRI, GRI.
I just thought it was like a half rhyme with sniper.
Sniper gripe.
Anyway, they've been very generous and I've butchered the name.
And they say, we were watching, oh dear, we were watching a dirty video with guy and girl in
wrestling ring.
Just as my husband was finishing, he started laughing about Barbara Piss.
I looked up to see that the guy had set up the girl for a jinkle jam.
Anyway, happy 10th anniversary, Ryan.
Wow.
What a relationship.
Amazing.
International sex symbol, Barbara Piz, apparently.
Incredible.
Happy anniversary, guys.
Thank you.
Oh, happy anniversary.
That was a ride from start to finish.

generous and said, hi, lads.
Wanted to say thanks for keeping me sane
whilst doing 4 a.m. shifts since January,
finally able to donate and thought
I'd chuck some extra for back pay

James introduced me to you a few years ago.
Cheers. Thanks, Hawkman.

DBP is at the Creation Museum
He was very generous and said
Dave Benson Phillips has visited the creation
Museum in Kentucky
It's a museum designed to quote
Prove the Earth is 6,000 years old
Dinosaurs lived with humans
and that evolution is a lie.
What fun.
Wow.
So he's clearly been added there.
I'd definitely go to that museum though.
I need to see it, I think.
That sounds a little.
For those who haven't caught the last episode,
number one, why are you not listening to them in order?
And number two, these are in reference to the fact
that people have clearly added photos of Dave Benson Phillips
to various landmarks and places on Google Maps.
Yep.
I've had 500 views on my photo of Dave in a board pit.
Yeah, I've had like 100 on mine.
of Mount Rushmore,
but it still won't,
I can't find it
if I saw it by newest.
We are manifesting
Dave's resurgence
in popular culture
purely through Google Maps.
Dave continues,
I mean, Dave,
the list continues.
The list continues.
I got bum worms,
cunt Eastwood
the stupidest one,
and a little bit of Monaco.
Oh, lovely.
In my life.
We also have
spready cheeks,
sloppy boasts.
Who you're going to call Nutbusters?
The parent penis was a bit much.
Had to look up what dogging is.
Oh, no.
Oliver Clause off.
Nice.
Close off.
Fist me at a pizza hut, plus.
Che Guevaro.
Gueverro.
Like Aero the chocolate bar, I think.
Che Gueverro.
Yeah, because that's a follow one from the stuff from last time.
The dictators and stuff.
Remember?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, there we go.
Civero.
Nice.
Parents prehens our penis.
Mr. Maca.
Caroline, I have your UB40 CD.
Oh, no, Caroline.
Oh, I can't get that back.
The big breakup continues.
Her Majesty's stink wrinkle.
Janet, please move your car.
Steve Osten is Peter's dad.
True.
Mikey's dogging partner.
Just keep swimming ash.
Full monitor.
Finn Tristam and Wendy Miller
and there you go
that's your pod squad
for this week
remember streamlabs.com forward
slash potty at stonations
to get a shout out at the beginning
and the end of the podcast
thank you so much
we love you, thank you
thank you
how else you can contribute
to this podcast
and future episodes
is by being quick off the mark
when we put a post out
saying questions please
and asking questions for this podcast
I've brought some along
oh yeah
yeah I've got all right here
do you want one
yeah
Question one comes from Addie Pramana, well, it's Adi and it's at 2 Addie underscore P.
So I'm assuming it's Adi Pramana from our Twitch chat, who simply asks, have you seen this?
Should add that I didn't do this myself, I just wanted to check if someone else did something silly.
And well, and then that's where it ends.
I'm going to send you guys a screenshot of the tweet.
In fact, what I should have got is a hyperlink so that you can access.
this directly, but now
there is a place on
Google Maps called
Feld Hoyers
hyphen podiots meat facery.
Oh, it's beautiful.
Does that mean they've changed all
of the information?
I don't know if that's actually the
Feld Hoyers
HQ or if they've just done it.
Let's have a look. It's on Industrial
Strasser 12, which is
Industrial Street.
Feld Hoyer's Poddiots
I've found it
Yeah it is
That's the one
That's the one
It's got all the reviews on it
From Podiat's listeners
Someone has renamed it
Someone has now renamed
Feld Hoyer's HQ
To Feld Hoyer's
Hyphen Podiots
Meet Facery
Which is the best bit
So you can
You can suggest an edit
And Google just says
Yeah
Yeah
You can also just ask that it be removed from the map.
Wow, really?
Oh, really?
Which is bonkers.
Like, that doesn't, surely not, right?
I'm going to start ransacking small villages
and they can look like you've got nothing going on
by harassing the Google map entries.
Because you have to register as, like, the owner of a business on Google
so that you can get it to appear in the first place.
How are they not notified or asked about any of these checks?
It just asks to supply a picture of you at work
and they just supply a picture of the original sausage meat face in a suit
and they're like, well, I can't say no with that.
All the photos that are uploaded are from 2003.
You know what's not on here?
A Dave.
Oh, there's no Dave yet.
There's no Dave on here.
There are some later ones, some logos from 2017.
Some really fake clown ham renders from 2015.
We've had an extra
a review from
a day ago
Simon Duff says
would tell a friend
five stars
that's a quality meat
fissary
also from a week ago
George Mather
or George Mather
has said
meat resurgence
and rated it
five stars
that's very good
is it one of these guys
are they the ones
who have done this
someone listed
as the CEO of
Fell Hughes Polly
it's meat fiercery
because it shows
which
things I've edited on my profile, so I'm wondering if any of these naughty boys of
other culprits here. Do we dub them in? No, we can't do it. No, no. I will though. I might.
It's very good. I mean... Don't watch your attitude. I'm not suggesting that people
continue to do this and just sabotage Google Maps, but also can't stop you from doing it, you know?
No. Maybe, though. Maybe we leave Feld Hoyer's body at's meat face.
alone
before they get us into legal hot water
yeah because we've literally left our fingerprints
all over it now
like it's it there's a difference between
changing it to like a meat factory
meat products
yeah description compared to actually putting our name
in the title
to be fair we've done nothing bad
all we did was a semi-legitimate change
to meat products and then other people
have reviewed well not review bombed it but you know
giving it strange reviews
and now changed it to Feld Hoyer's
poddy, it's meat face.
In case people aren't familiar
with this, this
is the German
custom ham company
that print meat logs
with patterns in them.
Your Billy Bear ham,
your... Football ham.
Clown, football.
Your spooky ham for Halloween
that's got sort of like a pumpkin face
in it. So you slice into the cross-section
of this giant ham sausage and get yourself a slice of sandwich ham and it's got the face
in it that you've requested in various shades of sickening pink yeah i've emailed them before
asking if we could get like a little sample of meat face made up in it but it didn't get any
replies so consider this payback felt huge consider this yeah for you not taking our
nonsense email seriously yeah well legally we should be on record
saying at no point have we encouraged that people change the name of the business and we
continue to not encourage you to do that but I mean there's nothing to stop me leaving
reviews that's all I'll say make a nice ones at least no no no zero five stars so far I think
maybe go for some bigger businesses like find your local McDonald's or Amazon Depot
and just call it McDonald's poddits
In fact, I'm going to try that.
Yeah, why not? Why not?
Oh, God.
Can we just edit, like, Times Square to say Poddietz,
and everyone in the world will see that
until it's definitely changed back?
Suggest an edit.
Suggest an edit.
I'm going to change the McDonald's I used to work at.
That was McPodiotts.
Oh, McPoddietz is great.
I'm changing it to a McDonald's...
I'm changing McDonald's local to Feld Hoyers,
just so it looks like the Podiat's is sort of taking over the region.
Right, okay.
send
I'm I'm suggesting this edit
you'll get an email when your suggestion is reviewed
so someone someone did this
and then Google looked at it and said
yeah yeah yeah you know what
yeah that is that
surely that won't work for the McDonald's
though because they've got to know
that McPodiat's isn't real
surely but the request is in
in Steinfoot Germany
that's crazy
I guess it must be that, like, maybe an English-speaking person reviewed the suggested change for Feld Hoyer's poddy its meat facery.
And because it's just a series of words that maybe they didn't recognize, they just thought, well, you know, no one's changed it to, I hate Republicans, or do you know what I mean?
Like, no one's deliberately being a dick.
So I guess it's probably some legitimate business change that I'm not aware of.
The Feld Hoyer's family must have married into the Podiat's dynasty.
And opened a new meat facery on Industrial Strasser.
I mean, I don't mind targeting bigger companies like McDonald's.
I don't want to target little family businesses or whatever.
The clown ham company.
The shelves are already bare.
We can't do ourselves out of the Billy Bear Ham as well.
We need this relationship to last.
I mean there's international relations to think of
now that we're no longer in the EU
we could cause a diplomatic disaster here
Michael Johnson's son of Boris Johnson
was found defacing Google Maps
I'm going to edit an Amazon hub locker
in Levin
or Marl, Germany
let's see
I'm going to call this one
Podiat's
Presents
Amazon Hub Locker
Oh, I like that
This doesn't feel legal
I don't know why I'm allowed to do this.
Why is it letting me do
Why do I have this power?
I'm going to search the world
for anything that might be called pottyets.
Oh, this is great.
I'm enjoying this.
No, it looks like there's only
I mean, it takes you straight
to the meat facery when you do that.
If you search Vidyates as well,
it takes you to several American
video
videos shops and stuff
yeah
the ones who people
constantly tweet us
about and say
they stole your name
no they didn't
no they did they definitely
they very much didn't
do you reckon we can find
a big chain of podiatrists
and just change the name of one
so it's a poddiotrist
well yeah as I was typing in podiotists
it did suggest
podiatrist
yeah
that's the best business name
Jesus Christ
I will continue to refresh my emails
hopefully it pops up during the
podcast like it did before when we first
took action against Feld Hoyer's meat
meat facery
I can't wait for the day
our Google accounts just get shut down we're not allowed to
act as anything on the internet I should be doing this
on a burner email really but you should
yeah do it on your triple jump email and then
you have to explain to Adam why
because we're served by Gmail as well
so that would be pretty bad
Felt Hoyers Group.de.
Sorry, Feldhoyers.
Your meat does look ghastly, though.
If it's legal for us to rename your business,
it certainly shouldn't be legal for you to make ham that looks like that.
How do they get different shades of ham?
Like, is it different meats?
This is what I want to know.
Can we interview the man?
I want to interview Mr. Feldhoyers.
I think they just blend the entire thing
into a single meat paste,
and then they probably add food colouring to different amounts
and then they reconstitute it into a shape.
I imagine that's how they do it.
That sounds about right,
but I want to think there's some meaty dark magic going on.
Yeah, like extra-aged ham.
I think they just grow the pig like that.
It's just one long tube and it's got that face as well.
Like a stick of rock.
It just looks like a clown at the front.
Yeah, instead of a face.
And then its asshole is the same as well, just at both ends.
It's a clown face.
All they do is cut off their legs.
That is cursed.
Oh, that's awful.
Oh, Jesus.
Well, we need to move on from this because we could do this all night.
Genuinely.
Can you add that screenshot to the thread for people on Twitter?
Again, if you're not familiar, we kick off every episode.
on Twitter with a picture of our Lord and Saviard Dave Benson Phillips
and then we reply to that image in a thread with various things that we talk about
and reference so go check out of that thread. I've been thinking we should
what we should do and I'm not saying we will ever be asked to do this but is like
make some sort of mass document with hyperlinks to each episode so people can go to the
relevant threads. Well this is why we need a website as well so we can embed them
Yeah.
Per episode, but you know.
And maybe even host the images ourselves
before they go offline and stuff.
Who's got time, eh?
Yeah, not me.
I've got a thing.
Thank you to the many people who sent this to me.
I'd already sorted it myself as well,
but lots of people knew that I would want to cover this.
It's time, ladies and gentlemen.
It was promised a few episodes ago.
The top 10 funniest jokes
from the Edinburgh Fringe, 2021.
Oh, trying to judge comedians without their delivery.
Yep.
So here I've got an article according to comedy.com.com.
Oh, I trust them.
It's going to be really funny then.
And I'm going to read the 10 funniest jokes from the Edinburgh Fringe, 2021.
Just, you know, in however I choose to deliver them, I guess.
And you guys will laugh.
Okay.
Can you present one in the style of?
Dave Benson Phillips please. I don't know what that means
but I want that. Okay, I'll do one at random
as Dave Benson. I'll give you no warning.
Okay.
Number one,
I don't think these are in any particular order.
Or this might be the best
one, actually. I'll go from the bottom up
because they're numbered one to ten.
So I'll go from ten.
Here we go. People say
zoos are inhumane, but that's
because they're for animals.
It's pronounced
Zeus, actually.
Zeus.
That's from Samia Katz.
Thank you for that.
Good name. Good name.
That was fine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Number nine.
I don't know what you call a small spillage from a pen, but I have an inkling.
Okay.
Right?
Richard Palsford.
Thank you for that one.
Samia Katz in at number eight as well.
He's got two entries.
I think Chewbacca is French, because he understands English, but refuses.
uses to speak it.
Is that a thing?
I like, well, yeah, that's what French people do, I think.
Number seven, from Will Mars.
More grandparents were married for 40 years,
but everything took longer back then.
Whoa, these aren't good, are they?
They're not, are they?
These are the 10 best jokes.
Yeah, God, it's been a hard.
Hardier for inspiration, but still.
Very quick McPotty's update.
I have official confirmation that it is in review.
Okay.
Fantastic.
This is the first of more than one joke about Caesarians in this top 10 list, which I believe.
Dear.
Big theme this year.
Number six, from Ben Clover.
Not Ben Dover, Ben Clover.
Ben says,
Getting a Caesarian is dangerous in Russia
If they open you up and find a little girl
They open her up to see if there's another
That one's all right
Yeah
A little nesting doll joke
It is
It sounds like it's going in a really horrible direction
And then it's like
Oh no, it's just a Russian dolls gag
And
Yeah
All right
Best of the bunch so far
Well done Ben
Thank you
Leo Curse says
Marvin Gay
Used to keep a sheep
in my vineyard. He'd heard it through the grapevine.
Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A bit of a groaner, but I still appreciate that one, Leo. Thank you.
I'm trying to muster respond, like, any response to these that isn't just, yeah.
This definitely seems the worst we've done ever. So this, for those who haven't been listening for a long time, I do this every year.
It always gets some kind of lackluster reaction. But this is the most cricket,
filled one
I think we've had
thus far
the Roman
emperor's wife
hates playing
hide and seek
because wherever she goes
Julius sees her
oh
Adele Cliff
well done
it's not bad
it's not bad
number three
from Tom Mayhew
me and my ex
were into role play
I'd pretend to be
James Bond
and she'd pretend
she still loves me
Oh
I get it
Boo
Okay
Number two
This is top three material
Oh god there's only two left
My therapist told me
A problem shared
Is a hundred quid
That's all right
I like that
Yeah that's okay
Yeah
Iva Dembina
That one was
And number one is our other
Caesarian-related joke
I thought the word
Caesarian began with the letter S
but when I looked it up in the dictionary
it was in the C section
Okay I don't like that one that was number one
That was the funniest joke
That's the funniest joke
Pack it up guys
The Edinburgh Fringe is done
That was from Masai Graham
Good God
Worst jokes
Fringe
I bet these are really good
I bet the worst jokes are actually really funny
They were like one of the
The other times we did it
but I've just Googled it.
I didn't even think to check it beforehand,
but I can't find...
It doesn't look like there's a 10 worst.
No, there's not yet.
There have been some worst jokes, articles,
but it's not there yet.
So that's, I mean, you know,
true to the astounding intro that we did
about how, you know,
this is the comedy podcast that makes you laugh.
That's what you get from me this week.
Just some really funny jokes.
Thank you, Peter.
That you didn't laugh at.
I feel so enriched.
Yeah.
I'm watching a video of them handing like a gold plate to the joke of the Edinburgh Fringe 2021.
It's like it's an actual physical award they give out.
I didn't know that.
Oh, there you go.
I'll keep trying.
Maybe one day you too.
Take it back.
He doesn't deserve it.
Take it back.
Oh, he looks very happy with it, though.
I'm not going to take that away from him.
Well, there you go.
That's my thing.
That's your lot from me today.
Thank you.
that was truly, truly wonderful.
I've got some questions here,
some more questions.
So here we go.
What's the best, this is from Crisp
at Level 1 Crisp on Twitter.
What's the best way to make friends,
wrong answers only?
Thank you, Crisp.
Thank you, Crisp.
Oh, goodness me, the best way to make friends.
I think the best way to make friends
is to go on to public transport
on a quiet time of the day
so you know
you're on the metro
the carriage is nearly empty
and you just look for
you know perhaps a
perhaps a guy just sitting by himself
just go sit next to him
just ask him how his day is
that's the best way to make friends I think
strike up conversation
yeah smell his hair
smell his knees
if he's got a little
stain on his trousers from his lunch
give you a lick your finger and get it off for him
You saved some for me.
Thank you, friend.
Oh, thank you, delicious.
You can be sharing it.
Maybe a healthy stalk of someone's social media page
and then bringing up intimate details about their life
that you shouldn't know.
Oh, God.
Yes.
Oh, man.
Is this more fun than that time you went to Marbeyer in 2017?
Yeah, I saw that you went to see such and such band
at the O2 Academy in 2008.
I love that band.
I love that venue.
Yeah.
My usual go-to is.
just etching in public bathroom walls
if you're looking for a good time
and my number beneath it
and yeah I've had lots of interesting people
no one no one's
no one's been friendship material yet
but one day I'll get there okay
oh I'm sorry to hear that
one of my greatest like actual real life
instances of being like
oh I'm a bit scared of you as a person
was when we were looking for new flatmates
a couple of years ago
we interviewed one person who said
you got any interest or anything you like
and they just replied insects
what
no verb
just insects
we just insects
we just kind of stood around like
okay
we didn't bother expanding on that much
sad to say they didn't get chosen for the room
but
I know I've always really struggled with
like people who try
really really really hard
and like really really
want to be like seemingly they have almost an agenda to like i am going to be your friend and
sometimes i've had a few times in my life where i've found that inherently incredibly irritating and
i've been put in a very very difficult position by this person's overwhelming kindness and
friendliness where it's like a really what do i do because i feel like a dick because i don't i don't want
i don't want to be your friend what do you do though what do you do in that
situation. It's true. You just smile along for years and years. No, I don't have time for that
Michael. I'm going to die one day. I don't have time for that shit. How do you deal with that?
I don't know. It's difficult. Apart from making you feel uncomfortable and unwelcome and you feel
horrible inside. Because they've done nothing wrong. All they've ever done is really nice things to
you. And you just, it's just a little bit of unkindness will prevent far more unpleasantness
down the line if that makes sense right like if you're not you're not a dick to them but if you're if
you're just sort of not very friendly to them that that initial nastiness is far preferable probably
for both parties than almost lying to them by as you said mickey just smiling and you know
just accepting their friendship unwitting unwillingly and then it potentially coming to an end
horribly at some later point
when you get so fast that you murder them.
Stop being so nice.
I don't want to be your friend.
Stop it. I know I'm really cool.
There was an unfortunate thing that happened
when I was in primary school. I was in year five
and there was a lady who was
she was just a lunchtime
playground monitor. I think she was just, she lived in the village
and she wasn't a quote unquote
dinner lady. She would just come to the playground
on a roter at lunchtime and would just be there,
I guess, because the teachers were having lunch and stuff.
So she'd only be there for like an hour a day.
And one day, she just came over to me and a couple of my friends
who were just in the playground.
And rather awkwardly, she said that her son,
they'd just moved into the village.
I think she'd been living nearby,
but now they'd moved house into the actual village.
And she said, her son wanted to,
make some new friends in the village and would we be his friends basically and we didn't know
who this boy was and you know we didn't want to be unkind and say no so we were like oh yeah yeah
we'll uh sure we'll will uh hang out with him roughly how old were you at this point uh 23
yeah year five so what is that like nine or 10 okay so that's like old enough way you've can
you've established you're friends and you've got your people you're like it's not like if
you're a five-year-old and you're just thrown in a room with an
child, you'll get on, probably.
Yeah.
It's slightly different.
I feel for the guy that, you know, he'd just moved into a new place and didn't
have friends in the village and wanted to make new friends.
But it's just a bit strict.
Like, he could have just potentially made friends organically.
Like, there was a park in that village that loads of the kids used to go to.
And I kind of feel like if he just sort of turned up there and just, you know, if people
have been playing football or whatever and if he just said, you know, can I play?
people would have welcomed him in
but because his mom
came and said will you be my son's friend
I think he then had that
in the back of his mind all the time
after that and so
we didn't hang out with him that often but when we did
he always just seemed to have a bit of a
guilt about him
or a discomfort because he just thought
my mom set me up with you
I think he was he might have even asked her to do that
I think he was just embarrassed about it
so that's definitely
a wrong answer to that question.
Best way to make friends.
Don't let your mom approach kids from another school.
Yeah.
It defends, though.
Invite them over and you've got like party sausages and cake.
You're all right, yeah?
Yeah.
This is fine.
I'll use you for your parents' food.
I think everyone's been in that situation though.
Billy Bearham.
Oh, big table just of nothing but Billy Bearham.
Everyone's been through that.
I think that awkward.
Time to be friends.
That's one of the things I do relish about being a grown-up, so to speak,
is that you can always, you always have excuses, always, you know?
And usually most people get the hint that if you just say no enough times,
that they just stop asking you to do stuff, right?
Yeah.
And that's kind of a godsend.
My favourite excuse I've heard to someone getting out of like after work pints was like,
oh, sorry, it's been day tomorrow.
I can't do today
I would respect that so much
Yeah
That's fantastic
We just got looks
Yeah we're just stunned look
And I'm not going to push on that
I'm not going to
I don't want to know how in depth
Your bin routine is
Even if it exists
He could have been telling the truth
And he's just
Just a bin fetishist
Just an avid sort of recycling
Sorry, it's insect day tomorrow
To go home and prepare
I think you mean insect day
That's what I said
Did you?
Yeah
He said Inset Day
No
So I was going to make a joke about that
Oh fucking hell
Discord
Jesus
Who's got a thing
No just let the stink hang
Let the stink hang
Okay
Hang on
Let's go back to that
For a minute
I thought you said
Inset Day
I was gonna make a joke about it
Do you want to just kind of cover the stink
With the thing
Yes
I've got a better idea
than a thing.
What?
Yeah.
How about an ad break?
Oh, that's a good idea.

Did you hear about the British Airways pilot who was dangling out of the plane?
No.
What?
Okay, I'm hoping this is a story neither of you are aware of, but we'll see.
Here we go.
It's a write-up from admiral cloudberg.m.medium.com.
All right, okay.
Who the hell is he?
On the 10th of June 1990, a mid-air drama unfolded in the skies over England
And after an explosive decompression rocked British Airways Flight 5390.
As the plane climbed towards cruising altitude on a flight to Malaga,
the cockpit windscreen suddenly blew out,
sucking the captain partially out of the plane.
While the flight attendants held onto his legs for dear life,
the sole remaining pilot lined up for a harrowing emergency landing in Southampton,
working alone under enormous pressure to save the lives of his 81 passengers.
Jesus!
Jesus wept!
Dun, dun, dun, have you heard about this?
No, I think I've, no, I'm aware of some British air disasters
because, relatively speaking, they don't happen very often in the UK,
but I'm not heard of this one, I don't think.
Well, good, this is slightly before our time in 1990,
ever so slightly before our time,
but it sort of did the rounds again last year
because some photos were shared from a recreation,
sort of doc hue series.
And people are like, oh my God, is that real?
It's not.
The photos aren't real.
No one was snapping photos of it.
Yes, from like 20 feet above, yeah.
Taken by the pilot as he flew out.
His phone was found six days later in Scotland.
Nobody died, just to be clear, so you can make jokes.
It's all fine.
Yeah, I should probably should check that.
Yeah, everybody was fine.
Nobody fell off a mountain.
We're all okay. I've done my due diligence on this one.
The unbelievable story of Flight 5390 began a couple of days before the flight
in a British Airways Maintenance Facility in Birmingham at 3 a.m. in the morning.
Thank you.
One of the planes in for service that night was a British Aerospace BAC Triple One, pictured below.
It's a plane. I'm not going to send you a picture.
That's a good plan.
Among the items on the long list of work orders for this aircraft was a new captain's side windscreen.
The shift maintenance manager who was responsible for overseeing and inspecting all the work done on the aircraft
decided that he would replace the windscreen himself.
He hadn't replaced a windscreen in several years, but he figured he knew how to do it well enough
and never looked up the procedure in the BAC Triple One Maintenance Manual.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
The shift manager used a lift to reach the cockpit and began removing the bolts securing the captain's side windscreen.
Noticing that many of them showed signs of corrosion, he decided that he would need to replace the bolts as well as the windscreen.
windscreen. After removing all 90 bolts, he correctly identified them as type 8211 slash 7d.
Of course. However, if he had read the manual, he actually would have known that the windscreen
was normally secured with the similar type A218b bolts, which had the same diameter but were
about a quarter of a centimetre long. Whoever replaced the windscreen last time had used the wrong
kind. Oh. The shift manager then went to the on-site storeroom to find more A217d
bolts. The store supervisor commented that they normally use actually A218D bolts on BAC
triple one windscreens, but the shift manager apparently disregarded this. However, when he found
the correct container, he discovered that there were only four bolts inside, far less than the
required minimum stock of 50. If he wanted A217d bolts, it'd have to look elsewhere. Scroll down.
So we took them off a different window and used them on the left side.
That's it.
In search of a match for the bolts, the shift manager went to a self-service parts carousel in another part of the facility.
But the labels on the containers were badly worn.
The light was dim and he didn't have his glasses.
Oh, for God's sake.
How many things have gone wrong here?
He figured he could find some 8 to 1170 bolts by visually comparing them with the old ones.
Until he found the match.
After searching for some minutes, he found what he thought was the right kind of
bolt and took 84 of them, keeping six of the originals that were in decent condition.
Unfortunately, the shift manager's eye was not as good as he thought it was.
The bolts he grabbed were actually 8-211-8C bolts, which were the correct length but
were 0.066 centimeters too narrow, which is pretty close to be fair.
Without realizing his mistake, he took these bolts back to the plane and again
installing them on the captain's side's windshield screen.
thank you website
the thread spacing
was the same as the correct bolts
so they fit into the holes
although the bolts occasionally slipped
he was working at an awkward angle
from which he couldn't distinguish
this slipping from the normal slipping
of the clutch of the electric screwdriver
do you want to see a side by side
of the bolts this is now
now we're really getting to the cool stuff
here you go
here's a side by side of those
sexy bolts
wow
they look the same
yeah they do
They're bolts.
After screwing in all 90 bolts, he climbed back down and called it a day.
He didn't notice that the new bolts descended too far into the holes,
exactly the sort of thing that a second set of eyes might have noticed.
But as the shift manager, he normally was that second set of eyes.
Oh, God.
Nor did anyone else need to inspect the work,
because the windscreen was not considered a vital point that needed additional oversight.
The shift manager went home later that morning,
and the next shift was left none the wiser.
The following day, the shift manager had one last chance to realise his mistake
when he witnessed another mechanic replace a different windscreen using A218D bolts.
But still believing he had put in A211-7D bolts, he assumed this was just the natural
variance between different BAC triple-11s, triple-1s made it different times.
After all, the bolts he took off had held the windscreen in place for four years,
still unaware of his potentially catastrophic error, he took no action.
and the BAC Triple One was returned to service for its next journey,
Flight 5390 from Birmingham to Malaga, Spain.
The pilot was two days from retirement and had a...
We'll find out.
Had his fiancé waiting at home.
Oh, no.
81 passengers and six crew boarded the flight on the morning of the 10th of June 1990,
including the two captains, the two pilots, Captain Tim Lancaster,
Lancaster, that's how you would say it, Peter.
Tim Lancaster
and the first officer
Alistair Atchison
As flight 5390 climbed out of Birmingham
At first all was normal
Approaching 17,000 feet
The flight attendants began drink service
The pilots undid their seatbelt
And ordered breakfast
It would never arrive
It's not good
Moments later as the plane climbed
Through 17,300 feet
The pressure differential between the cockpit
And the outside air grew to the point
that the improperly installed captain's side windscreen could no longer hold.
The air pressure blasted the captain's windscreen, bolt and all, bolts and all,
straight off the plane and out into space.
An explosive decompression immediately rocked the plane.
It doesn't say that.
What's that?
And out into space.
Hang on.
Hang on.
The air pressure blasted the captain's windscreen, bolts and all straight off the plane and out into space.
How high was his plane going?
It's gone into the cosmos.
They're still up there.
Maybe.
Still going.
Um, an explosive decompression immediately rocked the plane,
the violent pressure equalization ripping away every loose object
and sending the debris hurtling into the cockpit.
The decompression sucked Captain Lancaster upward and outward,
pulling him halfway out of the cockpit before his feet became entangled in the control column.
The explosion also ripped the cockpit door off its hinges,
and slammed it forwards into the centre console blocking the throttle levers.
Oh, Jesus.
It's all going wrong.
With Captain Lancaster's feat pushing against the yoke,
the autopilot disconnected,
and the plane pitched down into a dive.
Oh, my God.
Within seconds of the explosion,
flight attendant Nigel Ogden caught sight of the situation in the cockpit
and ran to Atchison's aid.
He rushed in and grabbed back to Lancaster's weight.
Sorry, he caught sight of this catastrophe.
That was unfolding right next to him.
He somehow noticed that.
it, grabbed Captain Lancaster's waist
just in time to stop him going
all the way out, holding on for dear life
as the air continued to rush out of the plane.
Moments later, the pressure equalised
and the wind came roaring back in the other way,
pinning Captain Lancaster
backwards across the top of the fuselage
and creating a tornado of loose debris
inside the cockpit.
The plane was rapidly losing altitude
and Atchison couldn't reach the throttle levers.
He frantically issued a Mayday call,
but over the sound of the wind,
he couldn't tell if the controllers heard him.
As Flight 539 plunged out of control through some of the busiest airspace in Britain,
two more flight attendants, Simon Rogers and John Heward, fought their way into the cockpit.
Heward stamped on the cockpit door, breaking it in half and freeing the throttles.
Then stepped in alongside Ogden and grasped Captain Lancaster's legs.
By now Ogden was suffering from frostbite,
and his arms felt as though they would pop out of their sockets, according to this author.
Unable to hold on any longer, he stepped back and let Rogers and Hugh.
would take over the two men untangled Lancaster's legs from the control column and placed them
over the back of the captain's chair, holding him more firmly in place and helping Atchison
recover control of the plane. Still making desperate Mayday calls, he continued the descent in a more
controlled manner in order to reach breathable air and steer clear of other planes. Would you like
a photo from the recreation? Yes, please. The dramatic scenes unfolding inside the aircraft.
That's apparently what was going on.
Oh, look at that.
A bit much, isn't it?
He's just dangling outside, isn't he?
Discord, don't let me down.
Oh, there it's.
Oh, wow. Oh, wow! That's a good reconstruction.
He's doing a blast.
They can feel the stress.
Upon reaching a lower altitude,
Atchison started to slow down and level out.
As he did so, Captain Lancaster's body slid down
around the left side of the cockpit,
leaving his bloodied and battered face plastered against the
window. Roger sat in the jump seat still holding onto his legs, but one look through the window at
Lancaster told him he was probably already gone. His eyes were wide open, totally unblinking,
and his skin was going grey. Someone suggested that they let go of his body. Ogden shot down the
suggestion on principle, and Atchison agreed, pointing out that his body could strike the wings or the
engines damaging the plane. Yeah, that's the only reason. Yeah, probably. They want to crash the
plane.
Yeah.
And so they continued to hold on for dear life.
Ogden left the cockpit to recover from his encounter with the freezing 560
kilometre per hour winds and sat down with flight attendant Sue Prince, who had been
tending to the terrified passengers.
I think the captain's dead, he told her, which is always good to hear.
With the plane slowed to a reasonable speed, the wind noise reduced enough for
First Officer Atchison to talk to air traffic control.
The controller suggested an emergency landing in Southampton, the closest available airport.
This put Atchison in a tough position.
He wasn't familiar with Southampton.
He was flying a two-pilot jet by himself, in an emergency,
and all his charts and checklists had been sucked out of the plane.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, no.
It says that he requested to land at Gatwick instead,
but quickly settled on Southampton,
a decision he felt compelled to make by the severity of the situation.
Relying on the guidance of the controller with no charts and no captain to help him,
Alistair Atchison guided Flight 5390 down to a safe and controlled landing at Southampton,
much to the relief of the passengers whose lives
had flashed before their eyes only minutes earlier.
All 81 passengers disembarked without a single injury
while ambulances rushed to the aid of the beleaguered crew.
Paramedics found Ogden, Rogers, Heward and Atchison
suffering from minor injuries ranging from frostbite to shock
to a dislocated shoulder.
There was little hope for Captain Lancaster
who had been pinned to the outside of a plane
amid 600 kilometre per hour winds
and temperatures as low as minus 17 degrees.
that's got to be like getting smacked in the face
repeatedly, winds like that, jeez.
But as paramedics removed his body from the plane,
he started to show signs of life.
Within a few minutes, he had opened his eyes,
regained consciousness, and appeared to be recovering.
Reportedly, the first thing he said after coming round
was, I want to eat.
Which I do relate to.
Someone ordered me a McPoddy is.
No emails from Google yet, by the way.
In what can only be considered a medical
miracle, Tim Lancaster suffered little more than frostbite, bruising, and a few relatively
minor bone fractures. After being released from the hospital and taking time to recuperate
from his ordeal, Captain Lancaster returned to flying jets for British airways only five
months after the accident. Wow. That's the one situation where I would forgive the entire
plane clapping when the plane took us down on the runway. He did it. That probably deserves a
bit of applause i think um this is an actual photo of the outside of the plane after they landed there
is we won't tweet this one out oh wow okay you can see some blood blood yeah from the captain
serious serious shiz was there yeah how is the window at the very front of the plane not considered
like a key element of the plane i've no idea it's absolutely mad i mean i'm sure it is now i think
this probably has changed a lot of things for the aviation industry
but Jesus, I can't believe anyone got on the plane before the 90s.
It might be that the issue that was listed, like, oh, the bolts need replace,
or the pain needs replacing.
Maybe it was just a routine replacement, like at that point.
Like, if it wasn't replaced immediately, it doesn't matter as long as it's replaced
within the next six months kind of thing.
So maybe that's why it's not considered.
I think in that sense it means it wasn't considered, like, important rather than no one
needs to check that the right bolts have gone in on this new pain but yeah i bet they've changed all
sorts of like checking and double checking other people's work and stuff like that it goes in some
more detail at the end about um what what could have gone wrong and why it went wrong but um yeah
sounds like everything went wrong that could have went wrong every little mistake oh geez
there weren't enough bolts the wrong ones had gone in the first place
It was dark in the storeroom and the man didn't have his glasses.
That's the most penis thing. Jesus.
So there's the photo that was doing the rounds if someone wants to add that to the thread.
But there he is dangling out of the frame.
And people were asking if that was real.
Yeah, people thought that might have been real.
It doesn't even, he looks 2D.
I don't think he actually is.
They probably did it with like a dummy or a person.
But it doesn't even look like an actual real photo of anything.
It just happened to be a paparazzi plane flying right next to the entire journey.
Oh dear.
There we go.
That's my thing.
Wow.
Thank you very much, Ben.
Wow.
Thank you very much indeed.
Spooky plane adventure.
Absolutely incredible.
Yeah.
Well, it's time for a question.
Gentlemen, I'm going to ask you, where is it?
One moment, please.
This is from Heron.
at Book Salamander on Twitter
who says
It's bedtime but you can't sleep
What embarrassing memory is keeping you up?
Oh no
I mean all of my answers
For the previous one about friends
Oh
Right yeah
Oh man
I've got a recent thing
That was bothering me
It's definitely not my most
embarrassing memory, but it's just the most recent one, is that one of Amy's friends came over
not a few weeks ago. And one night, we'd opened a bottle of wine, and we're all sitting
there, like, slightly inebriated. And we're having, like, a bit of a philosophical conversation
about, oh, no, that's it. It wasn't that philosophical. She'd asked, Amy's friend had asked,
what three languages would you learn if you could just learn them overnight? Like, if you
wake up in the morning and you're fluent in three foreign languages, what would you do?
choose.
So we were just talking about like, oh, you know, maybe Japanese because it's somewhere I want
to go or, you know, Spanish because it's spoken in loads of countries, things like that.
And then we got onto which languages sound nice versus which ones don't sound as nice to the
British ear potentially.
I guess it varies nation to nation.
And I was talking about Mediterranean languages.
and I referred to them as the romantic languages
and then one minute later
Amy's friend who's very clever
was like yeah yeah I totally agree with what you're saying Peter
yeah that's the thing about the romance languages
and I went oh no
in my head I was like oh I just called them
the romantic languages
oh that's close enough and now she thinks
But that's what she was thinking that noise, Mikey.
Oh, didn't he do great?
Clothesly.
Oh, he knows that it's sort of vaguely rom something, the rom-com languages.
How's your video game job going by?
No, she's not like that at all.
I hasten to add.
But, you know, I just, I went to bed that night thinking.
She made a point of correcting you, though.
Yeah.
I don't think she was.
I don't think she was.
I don't think she was correcting me as such,
but she was just,
she was genuinely just agreeing,
but I...
I could have called them like the sexy languages or something.
I could, yeah.
Yeah, it's,
it means like the ones that are derived from Roman,
like they're the romance languages.
Um,
it's not even to do with the word romance or romantic in that sense.
It's just where they're derived from,
I think,
but that's where I got the confusion from though is because romance also means
the sexy love languages so i said romantic and i was like oh no so you know that's that doesn't
still keep me up but it's the most recent one that did i think i'm trying to think of one of the
worst ones bit cringy yeah i think i'm i'm i'm i'm well i wouldn't say i'm predisposed to it
it's because of my own actions but i'm very much um one of those people who gets post night
out drinking anxiety you know like the the theater i think it's called where you wake up the next
saying like, oh, God, what did I do?
What did I do?
I know I've done something wrong.
I can't remember it.
Yeah.
At my brother's wedding, it was a very nice affair,
like a grand British country manner.
It was all very posh and very nice and all of like the lady,
not my brother's side, not our side of the family, but the other family.
All very, you know, well to do, quite middle class.
A lovely bunch of people.
And me being, me, decided to have quite a lot to drink on the night.
It was all going fine, playing with the dogs, playing massive.
anger with people. I was like, great, I'm having fun. And then, obviously, my memory conged out at some
point, and I walk up the next day in bed. Like, all right, cool. I made it through. And we go downstairs
to get breakfast and just, like, several people turned to me and say, oh, you were quite drunk
and I last night, weren't you? And I was in she like, oh, God, what have I done? What have I done?
I know I was, but I can't remember what I did. I think I was doing all right, but I was like
starting to stumble a little bit after playing Jenga. So I was like, all right, Michael,
let's get you to bed. But before we went to bed, like, I was.
there was these two handles on the wall
God knows what they did
but it was just kind of like a circular handle
that you can rotate
and it does something. We thought, oh, it'll be fun.
Let's have a go of these before we go to bed.
I put my hand on it, twist and it just
comes off the wall completely.
Breaks. And everyone's like,
right, Michael, time for you to get a bed, go to bed.
I don't remember a happening, so I was pretty unaware
until the memory is forced
upon me at breakfast time. And
I think that kept me away for a couple of days.
It's like, oh God, around all this nice new
family. I'm the drunk one who played Big Jenga and broke a handle off the wall and had to be
hurried off to bed. Well, if it isn't Big Jenga himself. Big Jenga Johnson.
Here he is.
Yeah, I think I just need to stop being such an idiot when I'm drinking, but never. Never.
Well, we wouldn't have videos of you lap dancing on Dave.
Oh, God, that's another one that's kept me up. Jesus Christ, Michael. Get it together.
Yeah. Most of the things that.
keep me up at night are just traumatic social experiences that I'd rather not get into.
Yeah, I mean, I've thought of a few that I just don't want to actually say out loud.
Yeah, I've got one that I can say after.
But I definitely have like a few just little encounters with people where I've said
maybe something a bit stupid or misinterpreted what they've said.
And I'm like, oh, leave that interaction feeling like a weird person.
But yeah, it's nearly always social stuff.
Yeah.
Like awkward moments or, you know.
I like to think of the person's completely forgotten about it, but I'm here and I'm stuck thinking about it.
Happened to me recently, actually, but I ended up setting a reminder on my phone to just email this person again
because I feel like there were, I was really worried that there were some crossed wires and maybe I'd come across as a bit too curt in an email.
Yeah.
And I was really worrying like, oh no, that person didn't reply to that email after I sent that.
and now I'm worried
and I know I'm overthinking it
probably but I then did send it
it did keep me up
and I did set a reminder on my phone
the next day to email them and just say
hey just want to like I'm probably overthinking
this but just want to say like I'm sorry if that came
across as a bit Kurt you know how emails are
didn't mean it like that anyway
there we go and it was fine
but yeah hadn't even crossed
that person's mind apparently
so yeah yeah that's so often the way
it's usually all in your own head
yeah well like in my case
I definitely think that no one was actually saying,
Peter, you got that word wrong.
But I just realized, oh, that's not the word I just said.
I said a similar word that was wrong, you know,
and everyone was laughing at me, but they weren't.
But I've thought of one where some people did laugh at me
because they knew why it was funny.
And others didn't, because it was at a certain age
where some of us were privy to certain things in life
and others weren't.
So I was, I don't know, 11.
or 12 or something like that.
And there was this girl in our group
who was talking about horoscopes
and I didn't really know much about them.
I knew my own star sign,
but, you know, I've never really gone in
for like Zodiac stuff.
But so I didn't know what like different signs
were supposed to be.
You know, people say like,
oh, I'm a typical Gemini me, typical Gemini.
An asparagus, what can I say?
Exactly, yeah.
So this girl was just talking.
about what all of our signs were
and what that ought to mean
about our personalities.
And one of us was a Taurus
and she was saying,
oh yeah, well, and he's a Taurus
and that's the bull.
And, you know, she said, like,
and you can probably guess
what kind of associations there are
with the bull. And I said,
oh, you know, that sort of makes sense
that, like, I suppose that he would be the bull
because, and then I was trying to think
of the right word. And, you know,
I was at an age where my lexicon wasn't quite there.
And you know when you just sort of make up a word just because you know everyone else
will get the gist of what you're saying.
Like you might just say, oh, that's a bit, oh, that's a bit potty-ish.
Or like, oh, that's very, you know, I can't even think of an example.
But you just sort of make up the right idea.
And I wanted to say that this guy was, I don't know, that he stands his ground or
he'll like charge in headfirst and I said yeah it's interesting that he's he's the bull sign
because he's he's kind of you know he's quite horny isn't he and like half the group
laughed at me and the other half didn't because they didn't know that word like I say we're
about 11 or something and then it was sort of explained to me what I just said and I was like oh
oh well that's not what I meant I just meant that he you know he goes in he goes in all
all guns blazing and he yeah oh that's embarrassing and that definitely kept me awake for many
nights after that just thinking oh i said the sexy word and i'm only a child a child they laughed
at me a child a child oh dear oh i wouldn't know how to feel if i was that child but it got
called horny yes yeah oh dear he was one of the ones who didn't know the word fortunately so
that wasn't so he just heard everyone laughing
he's like what what would you
he probably understood what I was trying
to say he was like oh yeah I suppose I am
I'm pretty horny you're right yeah
that's me
if only no one had laughed
he could have gone home to his parents that night and said
my horny
I'm a tourist and they say that means I'm horny
I think they could be right
yeah
um
mighty I
could you give us a thing please
I'd love to get your thing.
Pop your thing further closer.
Oh, it's coming.
Oh, Jesus Christ, that didn't sound good.
Ouch.
I have in front of me a list, a list of things,
and it's time to make them fight.
Because it's been...
Yeah, I thought it was time we had a tournament.
I was thinking that on the way home today.
It was time for a tournament.
We're overdue.
I'm quite excited for this one,
because it's close to my heart.
Today, we're going to be making 16.
Great British Dishes fight to find the ultimate champion of British cuisine.
Hell, yeah.
I'm looking, this list is things we should all be at least be relatively familiar with, I think.
And I'll explain as we go along for the non-UK viewers,
because some of these are quite frankly ridiculous meals to anyone who wasn't born on these aisles.
I shouldn't even be allowed to listen as far as I'm concerned.
Yes, you don't know these.
Switch off.
We voted to leave.
the world.
Leave us on our island with our brown food, please.
Leave us on our grey, sad rock.
Yeah.
Right.
But please keep sending your Billy Bear Hand.
Yes.
Yes, please.
Or we'll continue to commit acts of Google terrorism.
We'll change your business to a muckpotty at St, don't you dare?
Oh, I have a feeling.
I have a feeling it's not going to work, but we'll see.
I hope so
I'm going to keep checking in on my McDonald's
and see if it gets updated
but for now
are you ready for the first fight
and I think this is an interesting one
at least
a good proper full English breakfast
so full English breakfast
is like the ultimate dream breakfast
consists of like toast mushrooms tomato
bacon sausages black pudding
mushrooms all sorts of things
it's like it's a big lot of things
for a breakfast and it's a thing of beauty
Egg of your choosing.
Eggs, of course, as well.
So, uh, full English versus a chicken teakin masala,
which I am claiming is a British dish
because I think it is like the national dish of England
even though it's got into origin.
Yeah, it's a thing, isn't it?
That like curry is one of our national dishes now.
A number of them were, a number of those dishes were invented in the UK.
I'm not sure if this isala was specifically,
but certainly some of them have been.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's really tough because a masala's great.
Massala is good.
And the thing is as well, as much as I really appreciate, you know,
on the right day where you need something to pep you up in the morning,
a bit of bacon, sausage, egg, toast, that'll really get me going.
It's holidays.
But, yeah, holidays, early drives, going to the airport and stuff,
which I may never do after today's episode.
That's fine.
But there's a whole load of stuff in a quote-unquote full English breakfast
That I would always ask for it without
I would say I don't want any mushroom tomato
I won't even have the beans thanks I'm fine
I don't mind black mad
I don't mind black pudding but I wouldn't sort of miss it if it wasn't there
For black pudding for people who don't know what that is
Black pudding is cooked pig's blood
Yeah yeah pretty much
Yeah that's it
Leave us on our rock
It's delicious, though.
And even like hash browns.
I mean, I don't, again, I don't dislike them, but if they weren't on the menu, I wouldn't mind.
One of the best hearts.
I just think it's a bit strange having potato for breakfast.
It just seems a bit odd.
A bit strange for breakfast.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, I know, that's true.
I'm erring on the side of a full English because I think in the pantheon of curries, we can do better than a chicken teeka, and I think I'd much rather have a full English.
Like more stairs.
Yeah, that's the thing.
Even though I'd get rid of half of the ingredients,
I'd still rather have a full English more often than just the odd Tika masala.
It's the beauty of a full English.
You can customize it to your liking.
Yeah.
It's an everyman's dish.
So are you going for Ticca Massela, Peter?
No, no, I'm going for full English because I'd have that more often.
I'm definitely also going for full English here.
Yeah.
Nice, nice, nice.
I think we have a strong contender for winner already.
Next up is Tordon the Hall.
Which is...
Toad?
Yeah, Todd just put in a hole
and you pour some gravy in the hall
and then...
You know wind in the willows?
Hmm.
It's that, but edible.
It's that.
Yeah.
Toad in the hall is...
It's a mass of Yorkshire pudding
with sausages embedded within the pudding itself.
What's a Yorkshire pudding?
Yeah, for those who don't know what Yorkshire pudding is.
I do you describe Yorkshire pudding?
It's just batter mix, but in like a deep pan.
Yeah.
Like little battered.
Cupcakes, I guess, but not cupcakes.
You have it with meat.
You have it with a Sunday lunch.
Oh, it's good.
They kind of nothing on the room, but use them as like vehicles for gravy,
and that's where they shine.
So Tordon the Hall versus good old Bog Standard beans on toast.
It's not even a competition, this one.
Oh, really?
Are you not a...
I mean, I agree, because I don't even like beans,
but I was well expecting you two to say beans on toast.
I don't dislike beans, but I always have associated it with my childhood as the disappointing tea.
Right.
Whereas I, oh, what's for dinner?
Beans on toast?
Oh, okay.
Oh, I wanted to turn in the hole.
Yeah, thank you.
Yeah, I guess.
You're right, but I just fucking love beans on toast.
Fucking love beans, me.
I'm a big beanie boy, and I don't know, it's a simple meal, which is really satisfying.
You can spice it up a little bit if you want to.
I thought he can have as straight as.
A bit of cheese.
Cheese.
I, although I know that I think, if you did a poll, I think beans on toast would win.
But because I don't like it, I'm also going to go with Toad in the Hole, which if made right is very good.
If made wrong, is actually really bad.
And can just be, you can have like, an oily bottom.
Soggy, it's all.
Yeah, it can be really actually quite horrible.
But a good Toad in the Hole is actually very nice.
Okay, okay. I'm not too upset about that. I love beans, but at full in the hall gets my respect as well.
Shepherds pie, which is, oh, it's like beef mince in a gravy with some vegetables topped with like a layer of mashed potato.
Usually made like a casserole dish or something. Very nice. And fish and chips.
Oh, man, I love Shepard's Pie, but fish and chips, though.
Yeah. I don't love Shepard's Pie personally. I think it's good.
but fish and chips
it's just got to be
so bad for you
you feel so bad
with every mouthful
like what am I consuming
how can a food be this golden
yeah
yeah it's
oh you just look at it
like I've consumed
like a kilogram of nothing but potatoes
and you just feel like they battered
the batter before they even put it around the fish
somehow I've still got that super high res
close up photo of fish and chips
if it's safe
A few, wow.
I've got to saved on my PC for like four years now, maybe longer.
That's like, goes back to what culture?
We used to just send each other the fish and chips image.
You can zoom in on it and it's like, oh, man, look at that.
That looks delicious.
You can see little tiny salt crystals on it.
Yeah, it's so shiny.
It's just this giant like 10,000 by 10,000.
It's ridiculous.
The fish and chip photo.
I'll send it to you tomorrow, Peter, if I remember.
I'm going to check Google for it now so we can go on the thread, but please do send
it tomorrow to send Peter the fish and chip
photo.
We'll put it on the thread tomorrow.
It's got to be fish and chips.
That's my vote.
Fish and chips?
That's what I'm going for as well.
Yeah, that's fair.
I agree fully.
Shepherds pie is nice, but fishing chips is like
so interlinked with happy memories
and it's just a pleasant dish.
You usually had on pleasant days,
like a bank holiday or a sunny evening.
Go on, get the chip.
Get your lots of fishing chips.
Go on, get your chips and doom you.
It's a threat ready bit.
Bring back the
Change.
Change.
Change.
Right, next, these next two are kind of rehashes of ingredients we've already seen,
but I think that's going to be recurring theme after this,
because we're not very adventurous with our ingredients.
But a bacon sandwich versus bangers and mash,
which is sausages and mashed potato.
I'm going with bacon sandwich because I find, again,
as much as I always loved my dad's cooking growing up,
he would make sausages and mashed potato
and there would always be a huge sausage deficit
and you would end up with just a mountain of mashed potato
when really you're there for the you're there for the sausages yeah
yeah got to get your ratios right can't have all slop no no meat products
yeah i agree i think bacon sandwich yeah well i'm i'm going to say a bit of bangers and
mash myself i'm a big mashed potato man but i guess we've loved
lost today to the humble
vegan sandwich.
Yeah, you've gone against
mine and Ben's votes a couple of times now, Mikey.
That's what's your game, Johnson?
Big Jenga, as we will call you from now on.
What's your game, Big Jenga?
Handel boy.
Get back to my room and have my shepherds,
not Shepherds pie, fish and chips and bang is a mash.
I can confirm that the fish and chips image is not obviously on Google images,
even when you saw it by large images.
There are loads and loads and loads of giant pictures of fish and chips,
but nothing like the fish and chips photo.
Not the image.
Too powerful for the internet.
Scrubbed.
Yeah.
We are halfway through the first round.
We continue with Sunday roast.
Again, much like the full English, this is quite an interchangeable meal.
You can't do with it what you want.
But the main constituent part is roast vegetables,
some potatoes, some meat.
It's lovely, lovely.
Like maybe some roasted carrots and some parsnips.
Gravy.
Yeah.
A lot of gravy.
I absolutely slathered it, onion gravy.
Perhaps a Yorkshire pudding or two.
Big pudd.
Oh, yes.
Big bit of pudd put on the side of that plate.
That versus, I'm going to start this one off with a fact, which I found, which I don't think is true.
But I don't have any information to denounce it.
By the age of 16, the average British child will have eaten this dish 4,160 times.
Do you want to guess what that dish is?
And it's not a roast dinner.
Garlic and chips.
Garlic and chips.
I hope that's number 16.
Oh man, I would have thought it would be one of the others that we've had.
Spaghetti Bolognese.
Nope.
Oh, damn.
Pizza.
It's fish fingers, chips and beans.
Oh, no, I was going to say fish fingers.
I was thinking that.
Really?
The bag ball is a go-to.
It's a go-to.
Yeah, it's like a nice easy,
chuck it all in a thing and...
I don't know why I said pizza.
This is British food.
Pizza?
Pizza.
Show us your pizza.
Which, I mean,
I can understand
because it's an easy-cooked meal
and it's quite satisfying.
So, like, if your parents are like,
I can't bother to make actual food,
let's just have a plate of brown.
Places of brown.
So Sunday roast
versus the,
the under 16's favourite of fish fingers, chips and beans.
For me, it's got to be Sunday roast.
Partly because I just love the roast.
And also because I would say the king or queen of all meals,
well, that's actually a strong statement.
But certainly one of the best meal events of the year for me,
and some people hate it, is Christmas dinner.
And that's just a giant roast.
Yeah.
How can you hate Christmas dinner?
What's wrong with you?
I know.
People get really pissed off with Christmas dinner and like...
Imagine being cross at a dinner.
Oh, you?
Oh, it's too much bloody stuffing.
Oh, could you?
It can't not be...
I love Fish Fingers, but it can't not be roast dinner.
It's a different calibre, isn't it?
Like, Fish Fingers, Chips and Beans.
It's like, it's a comfort food, but it's not good.
Roast dinner is the meal.
Like, it is the meal.
It's the family meal.
you can have proper food and proper gravy.
We used to have Sunday roast every single week when I was growing up
and we all sat around the table and ate it
which we did most of most days for the rest of the week as well
but sometimes like on weekdays
me and my siblings would eat something earlier in the day
when we got home from school and my parents would eat separately
later in the evening but Sunday we all like just sat down as a family together
and ate a roast dinner and actually spoke to each other
in this household we drink from the hose pipe and we come home when the lights go on
and we carry 50 peas in our assholes we do yeah that was the thing that my parents
tried in vain to do at various times as well there's always at least one meal a week where
we all sit at the table together and that's yeah roasted dindins it's a it's an institution
so I'm glad it made it through now we're getting into the last few where you're
tell I ran out of dishes to make up
this list, so it's all a little bit
more strange. He's garlic and chips in there.
No, it's not, sadly.
Just because it would be a ringer, it would win the whole thing.
It's only two quid.
Unless you get the extra 50s and it's two pound 50s.
250 for a big meal.
You just go to the Austin household and you got your 50.
Yeah.
That's why we carry the 50p withers
at all times up the bar.
Just in case you fancy an extra 50 worth of garlic.
Take it from the 50 jar. Not that one.
Afternoon tea.
Okay.
So usually consisting of, you know, tea, the drink, little cakes, little sandwich fingers, all very small and quaint and posh.
Delic.
Versus a good old sausage rule.
Yeah, that's a meal.
Sausage roll, I can't say that I've ever had afternoon tea.
Really? It's fine. It's mainly made for the facade of it.
looking like, oh, look at me, I'm fancy.
You could have gone for a cream tea.
See, yeah, I was just about to say that.
I would much rather have a cream tea,
a scorn with jam and clotted cream and a cup of tea
than faff around with like cucumber sandwiches.
What the hell is going on there?
Are we still rationing?
Is it a fifth?
Oh, I didn't know cream tea had a name.
That does look good, but it's not on the list.
It's not on the list, so it doesn't exist.
It's a close runner-up, though.
I'm going to preemptively get in here and just.
say for the final question. I want people to reply or tweet us and just list all of the
famous British dishes that weren't included steak and chips. I try to do my research.
I always seem to forget big things. Mikey, you've done an incredible job. I'm not saying I could
do better, but I'm certain that there'll be more that we haven't thought of. And I would like
them to be made known to me as much. And don't say a jelly deal or anything. No one actually
Come on, I was eating cockles out of the back of a van.
Are we going sausage roll then for that one?
I agree.
Yeah, good.
Good, good.
Entering the dessert reign of things now.
Okay.
Really running out of things.
Apple crumble versus sticky toffee pud pud.
Oh, apple crumble for this boy.
Oh, I like a stiffy to-stiff.
Oh, a stiffy toffy.
Oh, I'm all right, horny.
A bit horny over here.
I do like a stiffy toffee pudd put me.
Yeah, I bet you do.
Yeah.
I mean, or sticky.
Whatever you're, stiffy or sticky, I'll take anything.
Spotted dick, can you feel about that one?
Yeah.
There you go, hey.
I'm going to err towards the apple crumble side of things.
Fair enough.
It's a good, it's a good dessert, to be fair.
Yeah.
I mean, they're both heavy puds, but sticky toffee pudding in particular can be quite dense and, like,
oh, leave you feeling quite worn out after eating it.
large puff.
Apple Crumble,
congratulations.
Right, this is the last two.
And what a final two it is,
trifle.
Is that prettyish?
That feels French now looking at it.
Triple with like, you know,
you soaked the sandwich fingers.
Sponged fingers, yeah.
Oh, yeah, that's, I forgot about that.
I always thought there's one bit that I really didn't like.
It was always the spongy little lady fingers.
Lady fingers, that's what they called.
Lady fingers.
I like them on their own.
They're really nice.
When you're making a trifle, like we had to make one at school in food tech.
And we just ate a load of those fingers, really.
Wow, I didn't realize they came like, wow, unsoggy.
It's just sponge cake.
Yeah, unsoggy, they're really nice.
It's just like a stick of sponge.
It's really good.
Oh, nice.
To describe an English trifle to the viewers at home, it's like a layered dessert built up from jelly
with little bits of cake and fruits in it with a layer of.
thick custard, a layer of thick cream and topped usually with strawberries.
Oh, it's usually served in like a giant dish as well.
Jelly being gelatin, the wobbly thing, not jam.
That's what we call jelly.
What do Americans call jelly?
Gelton, I think.
Jellot is it?
Jello is a brown.
Jello, yeah.
Yeah, sort of the consistency of jello, if that helps.
Well, there's that bit in The Simpsons where everyone brings gelatin dessert to Mr. Burns.
It's like season two
when they're still drawn a bit
like wonky
and everyone brings gelatin dessert
to Mr Burns' birthday.
Have you seen the world of
savory gelatin desserts?
Oh,
it's just being a lawless 60s world
of peas and fish in it
and stuff now.
God, what the fuck is this?
I'm trying to find the worst one
but they're all awful.
Oh, this one's got prones in it.
God almighty.
It's sticking the thread.
Absolutely lawless.
Oh, that is...
Oh, no.
look at that.
No.
Oh, it's got Apple on the side, does.
That's fine.
Why is it green, though?
Mum, why is it green?
Mom, get the camera.
Mum, get the bucket.
Mum.
Delia is not always right, Mum.
No, definitely not in this instance.
So, nice trifle, not the prawn trifle we're currently looking at,
versus scones.
Or scones.
Okay.
Oh, I'm going to go trifle.
Try.
I'm going scons.
I love a scone.
If it's got clotted cream and jam.
jam. I'll have a scone.
Scone or scone? I'm scorn.
I feel like I forget my answer and I just
choose the other one each time. You're scone,
like I did you say. I'm going to go scone
because I would never in my life pronounce like a soft oar, like a schoon.
Scoon. I suppose schoon is quite posh,
isn't it? Well, if you say scone, you can't do
the joke, which is what's the fastest cake in the world?
Scone. Scone.
Here today, scone tomorrow
That cannot work
I'm gonna err on the side of scones here
Okay, Trifle's dead, all right
Fuck you guys
Yeah
I just, it can be disappointing
The best bit for me is just the cold
Custid
I like that
I like the custard
Shut up Trifle, you're dead
You're dead
All right, we move on to the next stage
I'm not sure if it's the quarter of semifinals
I don't know it doesn't matter
It's all just written down in a little notepad.
It's not official.
First heat.
Full English versus Toad in the hole.
Full English?
Yeah, I'm going to go full English as well.
Toad the whole nice, but just not.
Yes, tunnel's too niche.
Fish and chips versus a bacon sandwich.
Fish and chips for me, surely.
Fish and chips, yeah.
Yeah, I think so, I suppose.
Bacon's nice, but yeah, I don't know.
It's not as quite as satisfying.
or anything.
A Sunday roast
versus a sausage roll.
Sausage rot and a Sunday roast?
Sunday roast.
Yeah, Sunday roast.
I'd love to see
sausage rolls incorporated
as part of a Sunday roast.
That's kind of like a beef welding,
isn't it?
Oh, yeah,
beef Wellington.
I've only ever had that like three times,
and I wish it was more common
as a thing,
but I guess it's a bit of a faff to make.
Yeah.
Wellington's in general,
very tasty, very tasty.
Usually find them at like,
pubs in the middle of the countryside.
Wellington's for those who don't know.
I don't know how British they are, if they're more global.
But a beef Wellington, for example, is like a huge joint of beef,
usually like slightly pink and moist in the middle.
And then the whole thing is wrapped in a giant pastry.
It is like a just a huge sausage roll, but with, you know,
you can have salmon Wellington.
That's quite nice.
Whoa, that sounds good.
They put a whole side of salmon.
inside pastry.
Really good.
What about the other side?
They just go and spare.
They leave that in the...
They let that go.
It swims away.
It seems they put it back in the sea.
Yeah.
Apple crumble versus scones?
Apple crumble.
I'd say scorn, personally, but...
I'm going to lean towards a scorn.
Oh my goodness.
Really?
Scon has that much staying power.
I just think they're bloody nice.
I don't know, just big, creamy scorn, hint of jam.
I love a scorn.
Maybe I'm just, I've just had bad scones.
Maybe it's a sugary, dread.
Dry, slightly sweet, a bit stale because they're on offer scones.
Yeah, you've got to have the, if you don't have something with them, they are really actually quite dry.
Yeah.
But, yeah, I think I love a scorn, and I also don't have strong opinions, don't have strong love for Apple Cumble.
So that's why I'm team scorn.
Whoa, I've just realized something
A British scone
And an American biscuit
Are both the same thing
Or very similar?
They're similar
I don't know if they're actually
Exactly the same
They're like flaky pastry
Right, they're sort of a bit closer
To maybe sausage roll pastry
I might be wrong
And I think they have them in more of a savory context
I think they have like biscuits and gravy
Whereas you wouldn't have a scone with gravy
Gravy
Properer gravy
Well are quite similar
Grevy
Right we're on to
the semi-final
Full English
versus fish and chips
Oh now that
Oh that's a toughy isn't it?
That's a true semi-final
for British dish
Why did you do this?
I don't know I'm looking at these
I don't want to choose one
I don't
I am going to put my foot down
I'm going to draw a line in the sand
and I'm going to say
having voted for both of these dishes
to reach this point
fish and chips
I'm not upset by that
I don't know I don't know how to feel right now
this is very difficult
if we allow for the fact that
I can also order like maybe something else
at the chippy if I fancy it on occasion
like a jumbo sausage
or maybe even some nuggets
sometimes they do decent nuggets at chippies
then sure yeah I'll go fish and chips
the chips are just so good
they're unlike any other chips
yeah that's true
no chip shop chips are a magical
fluffy beast oh so have you both
gone fish and chips then I think so yeah
wow I was erring on the side of
full English but let's get that
out of here sorry full English we love you
we will be back
Sunday roast
versus a scone
Sunday roast come on you guys are going to stop this
bullshit now man yeah
yeah I agree Sunday roast right this is it
this is the final
fish and chips versus
versus a Sunday roast
It's close
If it's my grandma's Sunday roast
Then that wins
If it's any other Sunday roast
Fish and Chips
My mum does the best roast potatoes
I think everyone's mom does the best roast potatoes
My mom also
My mom does the best roast potatoes
Yeah I think Sunday roast has to take it
Just because I forgot about roast potatoes man
Good God
What a mean
When done right
Yeah
They're just
Not to get that Aunt Bessie's shit out of here
Homemade only
My grandma
Sunday roast
Whenever I go
Whenever we go to her house
Whatever we're having
Well not whatever we're having
But quite often if it's like
If she's got some like salmon or something
And she's made new potatoes with it
In a big bowl in the middle
She's always got a little extra dish
With like five roast potatoes in it
Just for me
She just does it for me
I get spoiled
So good
Yeah cannot
I just yeah
It's the many ways in which potatoes can be used in her full
A Sunday roast.
It's, oh, grandma's specialist boy.
Yeah.
If you do a Sunday roast properly, it should be like a mini Christmas dinner, I feel.
Mm-hmm.
Don't go for, like, soggy, steamed things.
Everything's got to be bloody roasted to a crisp slathered in,
maybe a little apple sauce on the side.
The only time I ever have parsnips as well.
I've never have those with anything else.
Parsnips are good.
Roast pastin.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Big fan of pros.
I'm really hungry now.
And you've got crackling.
You've got pigs in blanket.
You've got stuffing balls.
Oh.
Oh, it's magical.
Yeah, no, I think that's a firm winner.
It deserves its place at the top.
Oh, also, fucking lamb and mint sauce, underrated.
Mint sauce is amazing.
I am disgusted by the idea of mint sauce.
Right, see, this is the thing.
I've never had.
Yeah.
Amy's like this as well.
We had lamb once.
It was like on offer.
And I said, oh, we should get some mint sauce for it.
And she was like, what?
And she'd, like, barely even heard of it.
Like she'd sort of, was aware of it and had always just discounted it immediately because it sounds horrible.
And I didn't even try it until I was about 13, but, oh, God, mint sauce on lamb is just absolutely fantastic.
God, I'm actually so hungry.
Me too.
Thank you very much, you too, for help for me to sign that very important battle.
Thanks, Mikey.
That was great.
Cheers.
And there we are.
Those are all of our questions and all of our things.
It is time.
Thank you, Peter, by the way.
You're welcome.
It is time to check in on what happened, what is slash will be happening on Vidiots, the YouTube channel three years ago, three years ago, yes, three years ago this week, this fortnight.
Quick subscriber update.
We've lost 63 in the last 28 days.
Thanks, everyone.
Woohoo.
Super appreciating.
Coming out today at the time of release, which is Tuesday the 7th, I think, which we talked about last time.
Worst games ever, Fight Club.
Then we've got Draw the Fans 2.
You Wanna Blow Job?
Prop Hunt Part 2.
That's the name of the video, by the way.
Yeah.
Postum tat number 30,
This is a heart attack.
What was that one?
It says in the description,
Consider us now fully stocked
for the biggest children's party you've ever seen.
So I assume we got a lot of treats.
I think that's when we got all the Hannah Montana like hats.
Oh, yes.
And also we got the art attack.
PC game as well.
Right.
Oh, nice.
It's in the thumbnail.
So there we are.
We also had Heroes in Training Marvel's Spider-Man Part 1 for Prove It.
Worst Games Ever, 50 Cent bulletproof an episode that went down really, really well.
People loved that being featured on Worst Games Ever, even though it's objectively shit.
Fight us.
It's not good.
Do it.
Boundless stream highlights.
Hashtag ad.
Remember that game?
Remember how good Boundless was?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that was great.
Well, you play as that weird alien with like a house.
for a head.
They let us loose in the public servers
and the first thing we did was we built a wall
to block off people's access
to some vital area.
Yeah, I just built up really high
and jumped off it and that was...
That's fine.
Great time, thanks guys.
That's how that works.
Get out of the way.
Overcooked 2.
Did a video on Overcooked 2 apparently.
Dunster vlog.
Arcades, Fish and chips and castles.
Fish and chips.
Fishing chips
Here's in training
Sorry say that again
No it's just that was an adventure
That was it really was
That was a fun time
Heroes in Training Marvel's Spider-Man
Part 2 of the previous
Let's play
We should really only do one episode of those
Yeah
Puttie it's episode 15
Get the Flump
Get the Flump
Postum Tats number 31
Poop
Is the name of that one
Oh
Good
Marvel's Spider-Man in real life
live action finale.
I'm a big fan of this live action finale for it.
I think it was a good one.
Also deeply embarrassing for you, Ben, wasn't it?
Yeah, it also has fewer views than the first let's play,
which is bullshit.
So go and watch that.
Do you know what I like about that,
that live action challenge is the bit where Ben is dressed up
and he's like fighting,
he's either fighting Mikey or fighting PNGs
that are like being thrown at him?
Yes.
And he's giving verbal instructions as to what the editor needs to, like, include.
And he's going like, bang, bang, and ready, and swing away.
And the audio has been left in.
Just to make me look as stupid as possible.
Oh, dear.
And I do.
I look really silly.
Remember when people thought it was you under the suit, Peter?
Yeah, they just thought that you weren't involved in that video.
Peter's playing Peter Parker, so Ben just was.
clearly wasn't there at all.
Finally, we had one of the worst games ever, ever, Hulk Hogan's main event.
Oh, dreadful.
Oh, God, that was just abysmal here.
Next episode, it's the birth of an icon, by the way, the next video that went out on the channel.
We'll get to that on the next episode of Podius, though.
Mikey, I believe there's some sort of store.
Dot yogscast.com, I think you'll find.
If you head over to store.orgscast.com, you'll find a lovely little corner of the site
featuring some lovely vidiates-themed merch, including mugs, t-shirts, and hoodie.
All available in an array of beautiful dazzling designs.
And if you feel tempted, how about this?
Suck on this one.
If you use called Vidiates at checkout, you'll get 10% off absolutely everything
on the Oggscast store.
Everything.
If you use called Vidyat's at checkout
so you could buy yourself some lovely,
lovely new clothes, some mugs
or whatever the hell takes your fancy.
Ooh.
Sounds irresponsible, quite frankly,
to give such savings away,
but, you know, go and make the most of it.
It's a little bit of a time deal.
It'll be gone before you know it.
Mm-hmm.

where we do live streams and we do videos.
We have been, well, I won't be out yet,
but we've been doing some cooking this week.
And, yeah, I don't think it'll be out for another week or two.
But get excited.
If you liked the silly cooking we used to do both at Vidyats
and in the earlier days of Triple Jump pre-COVID,
that's something that's coming back,
as well as lots of other things that you know and love.
Oh, absolutely.
