Oh, did you have a good spooky time, everybody?
Oh, best spooktober of my life.
Yeah.
No, I had a rubbish time.
Oh, no.
Too scary.
Too scary.
We've already, well, I mean, it's breaking, breaking the illusion here, but it's not Halloween yet,
and we've already finished a bag of sweets.
Just trying to be professional, you know.
Sorry, sorry, I just want to talk about eating children's sweets before they had the chance to get to them.
Big bag of, like, refreshers and stuff, and they are literal crack to me, so sorry children.
Giving them away?
Are you actually doing the trick-or-treat thing for the kiddles?
Well, we were supposed to be out on Halloween night doing a graveyard walk.
So we're just going to leave a ball.
Of course you are.
You are so spooky.
Hey, why not?
We live five minutes from a graveyard.
Why not make the most of it?
Yeah, but we're just, we're going to do the trust exercise and leave a big ball of sweets out
and just leave a note saying, sorry, we're not in.
Just take a couple of sweets.
Be good.
Take one.
We're watching you.
It always works well.
I'm curious how it'd go.
Unless it's like a lot of it isn't the.
kind of area to have lots of little shits
that'll come and steal suites. I don't think
well, maybe, maybe. I need to set
my webcam for this and just watch and see what happens.
Yeah, you should stream it. If it didn't, you know,
docks where you live. You could
check in on it when you're out of the
graveyard to see what's going on.
Those fuckers just took my bowl.
Oh!
I'll docks every child who takes more than three
sweets. Comes the rules.
Well, I mean, to be fair,
Although I was trying to maintain an illusion, my thing is actually semi-spooky.
Oh, no.
Not really intentionally.
I just saw, I would have covered this any time of year,
but the fact that it's coming just after Halloween at time of release,
but is being recorded pre-Hallowing, I feel justified.
So I probably would have started my thing by saying,
just by the way, so you know, it's not actually been Halloween yet before we do my thing.
So I've already got it.
I would have only said it myself, Mikey.
Don't worry about it.
It's fine.
It's spooky season
So yeah chances are
Anything you find is going to be spooky related
You can't avoid it
No
So someone's going to have something spooky
So you took the spooky bullet for us Peter
Absolutely
Yeah
The boo lit
The boo-ha
Very good
Oh big fan of that
Was that very good
I can't tell if that was brilliant or terrible
I like you
Peter it is your place
As the non-joke teller to reassure me
That was excellent
It's my place to feel bad about it
Excellent well done
Go on is it really that good though
Peter. Really good.
Thank you.
Thanks.
I'm not a good.
Yeah, I'm not a good judge of humour.
Yeah. Let's bring on the music.
Hello, everybody and welcome to Poddy.

Everybody brings...
Oh, thing!
I'm along.
You talk about it.
I'm Ben.
I'm Peter.
And I'm Michael.
I didn't want to do the strainy thing.
It probably wouldn't be good for me, right?
No, you've hurt your tum-tum bones, haven't you?
That's quite medically, I think.
My between chest and tummy bones, I believe they're known as ribs in the science world.
Ribly wibblis.
Very, very sore at the minute, bless you.
Probably not a good idea to do with this.
Oh, no, that's not good.
I actually got a bit light-headed doing it, so that's not good.
A lot of straining.
More straining than, you know, when you do a poo, when you do a poo.
What you do a, what's the word of poo?
Yeah, what's the nice way of saying it?
There isn't one, poo.
It's a poop.
A shit.
What is the nicest way of saying poo?
defecating
No, that's really visceral
Like defecate
That's like defecate
Plop time
Plop time
I've told you before
Plop time is good
I've told you before
haven't I about
The TV show
that used to be on
called Law of the Playground
where it was just talking heads
of celebrities
telling stories about
when they were at school
and there was a guy
there talking about
how one day
all of the boys
were kept behind in assembly
at primary school
all the girls were sent off
and the headmaster
came to the front of
the assembly and said, right, you've all been asked to stay behind because the caretaker has
told me that last night, a boy defecated in the school urinal, and one boy turns to this
young version of the celebrity and says, what's defecated mean? And he turns and turns back to him and
says, I think it's a type of coffee. Excellent. Anyone for a coffee just defecated for me?
Defecate it please, yeah, I don't care up all night.
I won't sleep. I love defecated, please.
Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.
Excellent.

That's your pod squad for this week.
Once again, streamlabs.com forward slash poddius donation, 3 pounds or more to get a shout
out at the beginning.
And the end of the show, are you guys ready for your first question?
So before we get into it, just the talk of libs.
I don't know how often you look at like the new stream of comments we get on the channel,
but there was an absolute essay written on the worst games ever
little Britain video the other day
and I'm checking it out.
It's always a good one.
Oh, it's like they've even got sight like appendix at the end
where they expand on their points.
Oh, it's spectacular.
If you want to, anyone at home,
if you feel like, you know, it's a quiet Sunday evening,
you want to have a nice little bit of reading.
Just go through the comments on that video.
Oh, it's entertainment for hours.
It's so good.
I'm going to get it up now just to read the background.
I absolutely never wants to go in the comments section.
Anyone who writes an essay in the comment section of YouTube
as, to quote one of our employees at Triple Jump,
needs to touch some fucking grass.
Who said that?
Alex did.
Oh, really?
Good, yeah.
I like it.
Need to go and touch some fucking grass.
Yeah, he did.
Good stuff.
Question one comes from specky, Becky.
Oh my God, it is really big.
Sorry, there are square bracket, like, notes at the bottom.
They're like footnotes in square brackets with,
numbers. It's fantastic. Anyway, please continue.
That's Becky Wilkeson on Twitter. What has been your most extravagant drunken purchase?
I'm not asking this when I am drunk.
We don't believe. Thank you, Becky, Becky, extravagant drunken purchase.
I tend to, I mean, not to be boring, but I really just avoid, I know that it's a dangerous game,
so I pretty much just avoid buying things when I'm drunk because, yeah, I don't.
No, not too.
I'm usually I'm the same.
Usually I'm a very good boy because I'm a stingy fucker
and I don't like spending it necessary money.
But I can't remember why.
I think some football event was going on.
And as someone who doesn't watch football at all,
I got it in my head that I need an Amsterdam jersey top thing.
And so like in the middle of a house party,
I stood there stumbling from side to side,
going on the Sports Direct and paid 60 pound for an orange football top.
and then when it came
I looked at it and went
this wasn't worth the money
and just sent it straight back
but I got the free
sports direct mug
that you get with all you purchased there
so I got to keep that
so I did I did win
I succeeded with that
I'm actually kind of upset
I didn't keep it
because I think it was a very nice jersey
very bright luminous orange
but I'm a fake fan
I don't like Amsterdam the team
and I'm not really into football
the sport so I can't wear it with pride
Oh Michael, sorry
That's okay
That's all right
I once bought a
And Peter you did actually see this
Right
I have since gotten rid of it
A giant A1
I want to say the size was
BB8 poster
I don't know why I bought it
It was sort of like a schematic
style poster
Oh yeah
Okay okay
Like that for BB8
And I bought it
And it was when I worked for the NHS
And I got it delivered
to work but it came in a frame so it was gigantic and one of my friends James had to like poke his head in
and say did anyone order a giant poster and in front of everyone I had to admit that I was the one
who bought the giant BBAH poster it was that you know Force Awakens had just come out or it was
coming out and all the merch was there I don't know maybe I got too excited I think I can just so
got an interesting answer rather than,
Oh, just don't buy things when I'm drunk.
I can at least tell you about an extravagant purchase that I made recently
that I kind of regret a little bit because I pre-ordered it.
I saw a, there was a bit of a discount going on Twitter.
I saw this tweet go out.
I was like, oh yeah, I'll get that.
And I only had to put down a little deposit.
I think the total was like, was it like 60 quid, I think of 65 quid?
and maybe with postage it was about 70 quid
but I only paid a little bit to start with
and then about three weeks
later when I was deep into the
month and I had no money left
I got an email through saying like
we'll take the remaining 60 quid from your account soon
I was like oh no
and it was a
are you ever of first four figures
they do
little like statuettes
and stuff of mostly gaming characters
I think maybe they probably do
the occasional TV and film ones
but they do these really
nice like resin. Yeah, they look nice. Wow.
Action figures of different stuff and they do quite a lot of retro things.
And they just recently put out a tweet saying pre-orders are now available for a big
crystal dragon from Spiro from where the dragons are trapped in crystal and you have to rescue
them. And I used to have a, well, I still have a little 3D printed one that's like smaller
than a Coke can. It's about, I don't know, three inches tall. There's just like solid green 3D print
material but this is like a nicely textured kind of thing that I just thought yeah I'd have enough
stuff on my desk at work and I'd like to have a few more desk tats and I saw this tweet and bought
it and then as I say I felt major regret weeks later. Have you got it yet or is it still
no it's not even here yet they've taken the money but it's not been released but I think it's
pretty soon I'm not even sure exactly when it comes out but you're going to be like when
that arrives you're going to see that every like
every day on your desk with your mind of like,
fuck, that costs 60 quid.
I'm hoping it'll be the way around.
I'll remind you as well, if you like,
every time I walk past your desk.
Yeah, when you pay 60 quid for that.
Yeah, I'm hoping it'll be the way around,
and when it actually arrives,
I'll no longer be regretful.
I'll think, oh, no, yeah, I'm really happy with that.
That looks really good.
Yeah, I think I'll probably sting for a week,
but, and then you'll be, oh, no, I like this.
I like, I like, keep us paused it.
I'm excited to hear more.
See, it better be spectacular.
A better bloody well be.
Who's got a thing they'd like to do?
Yeah, I've got a thing.
No, look, go on now.
So here's a slightly spooky thing, as reported, in the Daily Mirror, today at time of recording.
This is hot off the presses.
It was released, it was written at 1106 and updated at 1108, apparently.
Some new information came out two minutes later.
Town haunted by child singing creepy nursery rhyme for a year.
Oh, God.
Oh, good.
Okay.
Right.
There's actually more to that headline, but I'm going to stop there.
But, yeah.
A little subheading.
The chilling sound of a nursery rhyme being sung late at night for almost a year left residents terrified,
prompting officials at Ipswich Borough Council to investigate.
Right, here we go.
This is written by Rosaline Fenton.
Fenton!
Fenton! Jesus Christ!
Christ, Fenton!
Right, here we go.
It's raining.
It's pouring, the old man is snoring.
He went to bed and bumped his head and couldn't get up in the morning.
As nerdy rhymes go, it's certainly not the best one,
once you think about its creepy undertones.
It is especially creepy when you repeatedly hear it being sung by a child late at night
and officials are unable to find out where the sound is coming from.
For many of us, it might be enough to persuade us that we should move house.
in a bid to leave behind a creepy ghost
that is apparently a fan of nursery rhymes.
If you moved house because of that,
would you have to disclose that to the new people buying the house?
Possibly.
We were moving because of the ghost child.
So tell me why you're moving.
Oh, it's just, it's a really nice house,
but it's just the way that the ghost child sings it's raining,
it's pouring at 2 a.m.
Residents in Ipswich were left terrified
after they started hearing the eerie song in September 2017.
What?
Oh, has this just been reposted for Halloween then?
I think it probably has.
That's a bit more boring.
That's strange actually because I told Amy
when I got back today what my thing was going to be
and she said, oh yeah, I think I've heard of that.
And I was thinking, well, unless you've been reading the news today,
like you haven't heard of this because it's a fresh story.
But anyway, we'll carry on.
Disappointing.
They spoke to local paper, the Ipswich Star, in 2018,
after being plagued by the creepy nursery rhyme
for almost an entire year.
It was waking me up in the night
It was absolutely terrifying
One woman told the paper
She added
I heard it at all times of the night
1am, 2 a.m., 4 a.m.
It was sporadic.
Sometimes it would play once
Other times it was over and over
Last week it played for hours
It was just horrible
Resident Alice Randall
said that the creepy rendition
of its raining, it's pouring
would sometimes be repeated for hours
terrifying people living on the outskirts of Ipswich
It's sung by what sounds like a very young child, she told The Independent.
It's very haunting.
People have said it's like something out of Freddie Kruger.
You know the film, Freddy Kruger.
Freddy Kruger from Freddie Krueger.
Yeah, it's like something out of Freddy Krueger.
Yeptwich Borough Council took the complaint seriously,
with the rapid response team driving to the scene
to track down where the noise was coming from.
So they finally tracked it down after Ms. Randall called in
after being woken up by the sound at 1115pm on the 10.15 p.m.
10th of September. The good news is that it wasn't a creepy ghost that was haunting residents.
It was a motion alarm being triggered by spiders.
Oh my God. What? What? No, that's ridiculous. This is a lot to unpack there.
There is an awful lot to unpack it. Basically, there are three things that had to happen for this
to occur and are about to explain them to you. So officials tracked down the noise to the
nearby farthing road industrial estate, and the alarm was turned down.
So, a spokesperson for the site said,
The sound is only supposed to act as a deterrent for opportunistic thieves that come onto
property.
That's genius.
And it's designed only to be heard by people on our private land.
We're now aware of the problem.
The motion sensors are being triggered by spiders crawling across the lens of our cameras,
and it looks like we've had it turned up too loudly.
we've spoken to the resident who brought it to our attention
and adjusted it so this should not happen again.
So basically, the only reason this was happening
is because, number one,
some fucking industrial estate shows
it's raining, it's pouring to scare off thieves
because, I mean, fair enough, I suppose.
Yeah, I'd be spooked by that.
Yeah, secondly, they left it turned up really loud
and thirdly, spiders were crawling across the motion centre.
There's actually a screenshot here of their CCTV.
I'm amazed that no one worked out what it was sooner.
You would have thought as soon as it was made publicly aware in the area,
what the hell is this noise?
What?
That someone would know.
Wow, look at that.
That's a big spider.
Spooky.
That is a very haunting image.
God.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
It's a good story.
I thought it would make a good thing.
That's pretty.
What a child.
That is kind of a stroke of genius choosing that as an alarm sound.
Yeah, I love that.
Imagine being about to break into a place and then you just hear.
God, send me away, for sure.
I have a question, though, if that is their, not necessarily last resort,
but they've caught something on the motion sensor that's there.
So the assumption is that someone has broken in.
It's playing, it's raining, it's pouring really loud for everyone to hear.
Why is that not like lighting up some security guards thing?
Like, there's an intruder.
Yeah, why not link into some of the...
investigated. I don't understand.
Just let it happen and how is this allowed to go on for so long?
I'm sorry. I guess it's not for having broken in.
I think you can see a car in that picture.
So it's more like if someone passes by the driveway.
So every time someone passes by the driveway, it just starts, it's raining, it's pouring.
I guess so.
I mean, it's probably not a place where people are passing all the time.
But, yeah, like theoretically, I guess it's to just catch people loitering in the area.
And the spiders were going across the camera.
There has to be a better way.
Yeah.
Yeah, you'd think that like someone ought to have checked.
Like you say, that it would be like linked to some kind of system like, oh, motion detected at the factory.
I don't know how effective it would be.
It's genius and it's like it's clearly come from a really twisted, fucked up mind.
Yeah, someone shows that on purpose.
You could equally, just as effectively, in fact, probably more effectively, you could record someone's
voice saying move along please you're on camera and that would work that would because they would
they would immediately leave because they would they think that there's a person watching them yeah it's
not going to traumatize someone forever is it you've got to make sure you have a lasting impact
in the surrounding residents yeah remember seeing an ad uh from jml for an alarm that you can get that
you just like stick to your wall it's not like a super sophisticated burglar on but it's just a motion
sensor and when it senses something you can get it to so it lights you like to
up it's like a security light and then you can get it to either just play an alarm sound
or play a sound that says you are on camera or you can get it to play a really angry dog barking
which is a similar kind of thing to the the child I suppose the child the child you know if you're
like walking through someone's house or through their garden and suddenly you hear like
oh roar roar then you know you might think oh my god what the hell is that it's certainly not a dog
whatever I just did some kind of sea lion I guess
Help.
Daring me.
Wow.
That's beautiful though.
I'm a big fan of that.
Thank you for bringing that, Peter.
As horrifying as that was for the poor people had to put up with it for you.
You've got to kind of see the humor in it, I think, I hope.
Fuck that, though.
Seriously.
Fuck that.
Just have big boughs looking over the CCTV.
Give him a pack of digestives and endless tea.
You'll be all right all night.
You don't need spooky deterrence.
Just big bars.
Come on, Baz.
Big bade.
Well, let's move on to another question.
This one comes from Martina Lexi at Simply Lexi 1 on Twitter.
What hype train were you never a part of and still don't understand?
Oh, an interesting one.
Certainly probably the biggest hype train I have not been a part of
and I'm still not a part of is the MCU.
I mean, that's got to be, in pop culture,
that's got to be the biggest thing that I'm not.
following right now but to say I don't get it is it would be a stretch I think I just
kind of I've talked about this before that like I missed the first couple of films
partly because I thought Iron Man is a really lame superhero like I actively
dislike Iron Man but then I I'm of that opinion or I'm that kind of person who
refuses to watch a multi-part anything whether it's a TV show or a series of
movies unless I've seen everything else before it so I'm kind of if I'm just forced by the way
I'm wired that if I want to see the rest of the MCU stuff I feel like I have to watch
everything else and yeah I don't want to watch I had 20,000 films or the Hulk or the certain
certain superheroes that I really just have no interest in whereas there's others that I am
interested in and actually I don't mind watching standalone stuff so it's like you know I
I know that I probably would really like all the Avengers stuff, like where they actually all get together.
So that does require, well, it doesn't necessarily require prior knowledge, but I feel like I want the prior knowledge.
But with the kind of standalone introductory films, so I've watched the Tom Holland, Spider-Man movies, and I've watched the Guardians films, and they don't require any prior knowledge because they're set in their own little corner of the universe.
And it's only once they get involved in the Avengers that you have to start kind of going, oh yeah, that's that and that's that character.
Yeah, there are certain things that I probably would watch if I wanted to, and that I have watched.
But, yeah, certainly the Avengers movies I am not a part of.
It gets harder as well to get into every year because this most there's so many.
And now there's the TV shows, Peter.
The TV shows as well.
It never ends.
If you're on the train, it's fantastic because it's a steady drip feed of content.
But if you want to get on the train, oh, it's a big ask.
It's like a month of work just to catch up.
Yeah, it's a lot.
It does make me think, though, that if one day I do decide, no, do you know what, I'm going to do it now, I'm going to do it, that I will have so much to watch in a good way.
Like, if I'm in that mindset where I really want to consume it all, imagine having that much in front of you that you're actively excited for.
You know, it's like when you buy an entire box set of an old show that's got like 10 seasons and you're like, hell yeah, here we go.
Let's do it.
12th time around for Parks and Rec. Here we go.
Yeah.
I don't think I've got
I mean I'm erring on the same sign
that Marvel is I don't have the willpower to get into it
and yeah I'm not interested in starting yet
I'll watch a Spider-Man
Spider-Man
Spider-Man's like my one save zone
I'll watch a Spider-Man
I'll watch a Spider-Man
mainly just because of Sam Ramey's efforts
in the 2000s
and I feel like I've
I only care about it
because of what Sam Ramey did to it
and I hope that boy makes a comeback
is he supposed to be coming back
I feel like, oh really, okay, okay.
Did you not know this?
No, I mean, I like Toby McGuire, but it's more, it's more Mr. Sam Ramey, the efforts of his directing.
Well, there was talk of that as well, wasn't there?
Like, I feel like about six months ago, there was, it was kind of going around that like,
Sam Ramey might actually be making a Spider-Man four.
And there was like, people were talking about it, and then it was like, maybe not.
I don't know.
I feel like I've heard that rumor as well.
That would, that would be like second coming to Christ for me.
I would love that.
I'm in the op
I mean because I don't really have an interesting answer
for the question at hand
I'm going to give the complete opposite
of a hype train I did get on with
do you remember the ooh-ya
oh no Michael
oh yeah the ooh-ya
they were having it for free
at EGX one year
and I got two
were they actually
what are you fucking kidding you
you just had to sign up
you had to queue up and sign up
and they gave you one
I did it twice
with a different name
well I became
a Kickstarter backer for that.
So, like, well before, it even actually
became a thing. Luckily, though,
because it was, like, two years before it actually
came out, my senses
kicked in, and I cancelled it.
And boy, that's the easiest 100 quid
I've ever not spent.
God, just saying the way that went down.
I was like, no, this sounds fun. And I kept thinking about, like,
no, I've got no use for this, even if it
is good. I don't want to play Android games on my
TV. I think
emulation was, like, the one thing it could potentially
be useful for, but I got off that boat.
while I still had time.
The controller is so weird, if I remember rightly.
It's like kind of,
remember when the PlayStation had the so-called banana controller?
It's almost like the opposite of that.
It's like you've taken a sort of standard controller shape,
and instead of banana-fying it,
you've just squared it all off
and maybe squashed it a bit.
It is like a square-narner, isn't that?
Perfect.
I'm misremembering, by the way, it wasn't it.
It was the On Live, a similar sort of console thing
that was doomed to the very, very much the same thing.
What is cloud gaming?
Yeah, I think so.
It was an early sort of cloud gaming system.
And they really were handing them out.
It was weird.
Google Stadia seemed to be handing them out like fucking biscuits,
because that's going down the drain as well.
All cloud gaming eventually just dies.
If they hand out Stadier stuff, I'll gladly take one.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind a free stadia,
even though it's going to die.
A thing that I didn't get on board with
that everyone else seemed to love,
It was during secondary school
And it's a real shame
Because it definitely seems like
It's right up my alley in terms of the humour
But I tried to watch it then
And I tried to watch it in the past couple of years as well
And I just think it's shit
It's the Mighty Boosh
Oh yeah
I really don't like the Mighty Boosh
Fully agree
Like I just don't get it
It's just weird for the sake of
I'm all for weird nonsense
But like it's just
It's bollocks man
It's fucking bollocks
What is it?
I sometimes feel like trying the Mighty Boots
again because I quite like
House of Fools with
Bob Mortimer and
Hello Help Brain
Norfielding? No
The other one, Julian Barrett?
No, the guy who's
Vic Reeves, Vic Reeves and Bobmoreville. Oh, right, okay, right.
They did a sitcom that ran for
like two series, I think, that
was very absurdist humour. You know, it's their
They're kind of very strange humor, but I kind of just liked it.
I don't know.
I guess it was slightly more grounded and believable.
And there would be these strange asides and looks down the lens and breaking the fourth wall.
But you could kind of still follow it and enjoy it for what it is, whereas, I don't know.
Yeah, Mighty Boosh is just a bit annoying.
Yeah, I've had so many people say, no, it seems like right up your alley, you love it.
And I try it.
I'm like, it's just not.
I'm not laughing.
I'm just not, I can't muster up a laugh.
It's very strange.
I like Norfielding.
Like, I really like it.
Yeah, I do.
I like both of them.
Independent.
Yeah.
It's just, I don't, yeah, I just don't think it's funny.
And that pains me to say because so many of my friends loved it in secondary school.
And, yeah, as you say, Mikey.
It's been recommended by a number of people.
Like, oh, you'd love it.
It's right.
No, it's not.
I actually don't think it's broken.
No, it's not.
It's not good.
How dare you?
Michael Johnson
Hello
Do you have a thing
I do have a thing
Imagine if I didn't have a thing
What would happen then
That would be humiliating wouldn't it
That would be absolutely humiliating
I forfeit my share of the
The lovely Pod Squad chair
You buy another toilet seat with it
And you bash me up the head with it
We're only buying toilet seats now
We're toilet seat
Yeah of course
Plop Squad
No no
Well it's got to be a better one
Pod
What sounds like pod but also poo
Oh
Oh, that's, no, maybe there's not one.
Perhaps a clod.
Oh, oh, God.
Cloddietz.
Oh, God.
Anyway, anyway, let's...
Maybe.
What is that sorry?
Clogietz.
Cloggyets.
Yeah, that, there we go.
Sounds like a podcast about clogs.
About shoes, yeah.
Oh, let's move on from that.
His Excellency, ever victorious ironwilled commander, great man, who did
descended from heaven, dear leader, who is a perfect incarnation of the appearance that a leader
should have. He's a man of many titles. Many of us just know him simply as Kim Jong-il.
It would have been my guess, yeah. Yes, yes, of course. He was a propagator of one of the
most powerful cults of personality that the world has ever seen. A propaganda machine so powerful
that they claim the wildest things to be true, and we all just kind of go along with it. The
truth about North Korea's leaders are highly controlled and orchestrated by state media.
So what we hear is just kind of these weird exaggerated lies that the government wants us to
hear to make them sound better than they are. So I've gathered together a list of heavy
quote-unquote real claims that have come from North Korea over the years about their country
and its leaders and I've paired them with something I've just made up. And I want you to
decide whether or not it's King John, Kim Jong illegitimate.
We've all done one of these now, and I love it.
Yeah, I feel, yeah, it's part of the tradition now to have something like this.
I left, I'm quite glad, like 10 minutes before the podcast, I came up with that pun.
I just left, I left just at the end of the sentence said,
come up with pun and put it here.
And I'm glad I came in to save the day.
Nice.
So, yeah, I've got some, um, some, just some real stinkers that have come out of North Korea,
and I've paired them with a fake thing that I've,
made up. It's up to you to decide which one is real and which one is fake.
I've got a favourite thing, which I'm sure will be included, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for
that. We got accused of being, I can't even think of the term now, like Asian-phobic last
time we covered North Korea. Oh no, it didn't we? It was really weird. It was a thing that I did
about, about, yeah, it was, it was, yeah, I was just talking about one of maybe these claims. And we
were laughing about it because it's so obviously not true.
And someone took real issue with that.
It's very, very strange.
There's some weirdness surrounding North Korea.
Today we're having fun.
Yes, yes.
Thanks, everyone at home.
Please, this is just, we're just laughing at how weird this is, okay?
Yes.
Yeah.
I'm not saying anything about the country and its inhabitants.
Just the bullshit comes out of it.
Sorry, okay.
Anyway, all right, first one.
Kim Jong-il was born under a double rainbow.
And the other one, Kim Jong-il has a singing voice so powerful that you can hear it from over 25 miles away.
Wow.
Which do you think was said by the state?
Double rainbow.
Double rainbow, yeah.
Yeah, of course.
I think that's quite a well-known one that one that like when he was born, like a star shot up in the air.
There was a double rainbow.
It was a truly miraculous moment.
I've got a little bit of text to go with it.
According to the official biography of Kim Jong-il, his birth was marked by a number of miraculous events.
The document states that he was born inside a military base located on a sacred mountain.
Not long afterwards, a double rainbow appeared and a new star was formed in the sky.
Wow.
Yeah, all very like, I mean, it's possible, I guess.
Same, actually.
I might, I'm just going to leave that in another tab and remind myself to look that up on eBay and try and find a copy.
I wonder if they exist.
Do they get a sign copy, maybe?
Oh, yeah, that'd be lovely, yeah.
Right, next round.
Kim Jong-il and Kim Il-sung never defecated or urinated.
That word's back.
Or Kim Jong-il sleeps.
Oh, full-st-dike was it.
They've never done it.
Never, never, ever defecate or urinated.
The two powerful and too mighty for that.
Or Kim Jong-il sleeps for just three hours a night, but he doesn't really actually need sleep at all to function.
Oh.
Oh, they both sound.
equally ridiculous it sounds convincing
I'll say
the sleeping one
the toilet one could go either way
because on the one hand I see them saying
no no no they don't they don't do any of that heinous
shit that you guys have to do several times a day
I think he has got out there anus
I can equally
I can see them saying
Kim Jong un ill sorry
shits with the power of 10 horses.
Yeah, he shits gold.
I'm going to go with the toilet one.
It was the toilet one.
Apparently, they never urinated a defecated.
The little quote that backs this up.
Perhaps the most famous and strangers claim
was that Kim Jong-il and Kim Il Sung did not defecate.
This was likely said in support of the view
that the leaders are practically gods
and are supernatural in nature.
However, the climate.
claim appears to no longer be touted by the government,
with Kim Jong-un having his own personal toilet with him at all times.
What?
A little potty.
Apparently wherever he goes, yeah,
he doesn't use, like, the communal toilets or whatever.
He just, he brings his own loo, which I kind of respect.
Do you reckon it's an assassination fear?
Maybe, actually, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, might get bog bombed.
Which I've just made up, but sounds good.
I should be clear what I was, I meant to say,
that I thought the toilet one,
sorry, I thought the sleep one was true
and the toilet one was false.
And you're saying the toilet one is true, a true claim?
Well, yes, a true claim, yes.
Okay, so I haven't they got one right so far.
Kim Jong-un spoke his first words at just six months old
and was able to speak in short sentences by his first birthday.
Or Kim Jong-un could drive a car at age three.
Which one has been touted by the government?
I'll say that the first word one is the quote-unquote true one.
Ben?
You know what? I agree. I think it is that one.
No, the real one is that he could drive a car age three.
Let's see. There is more to it as well. He couldn't just drive a car.
In 2015, reports began to emerge from North Korea about a new curriculum.
that teachers had to use that included updated biographical information about the young
Kim Jong-un, said to be a child prodigy. Kim Jong-un reportedly could drive by the time he was
three, was winning yacht races at age nine and was also an expert artist and musical composer
at a young age. Brilliant. What a hero. What a hero. Sounds like a real hotty.
Oh, he's a man who can do everything. We salute him for it.
Next up. In North Korea exists a real-life unicorn layer.
and Kim Jong-il once used telepathy to defend himself from a bear attack
I this isn't the one I was thinking of but I think I know one of these to be a real claim
so Ben you might want to go first yes it's the unicorn one it is yeah it is the unicorn one
yeah I think this is a let's see in 2012 the Korean Central News Agency broke the story of
how researchers have discovered a real-life unicorn layer inside the country the cave was
allegedly the lair of one of the unicorns that was ridden by an ancient Asian leader
known as King Tom Yong. A group of archaeologists from the Academy of Social Scientists
at the History Institute was credited with the discovery, with the layer being found just a short
distance away from the sacred temple in Pyongyang. Lovely. I would love to see an actual
unicorn. Yeah. Come on, let's go a nice holiday to North Korea. I'd love to go on a nice
holiday to North Korea. Sounds good.
Yeah.
When Kim Jong-un was born, all nearby horses bowed in his honour.
And when Kim Jong-il passed away, not only did the human population more than the loss,
flocks of magpies also grieved.
Oh.
That's very specific, that one.
It is.
It is.
I like that it's all nearby horses bowed.
Let's not be silly and say all the horses in the country.
as specific as the magpie one sounds as though it's not made up by mikey i think i'm going to say
the oh no i don't know oh oh no yeah i'm going to say the the the horse one is the claim
from korea i'm going to go with the magpies just to shake it up okay the magpies was the true
claim oh there you go reading that back i really
That's how ridiculous that sound of it.
Sad birds.
Sad birds.
Sad birds.
Those poor birds.
I think magpies are actually like one of the breeds that do mourn,
mourn like their own species lost.
So maybe it did happen.
So maybe it's not completely out of the realm of possibility.
They have a little funeral ceremonies, magpies sometimes.
If there's a dead magpie,
other magpies will gather around it and they will do calls and,
like, behaviours that they only ever do when they are doing this.
thing by the side of their dead comrades.
So they seem to have a specific behaviour for mourning,
which is very weird.
Very weird.
All right, this is the last one.
So hold on to your seats.
Holding on.
Kim Jong-il phoned the North Korean soccer coach
during their World Cup match against Brazil
with an invisible phone he invented himself.
Or...
North Korea hasn't had a single...
cancer diagnosis in the country over the last 60 years. Oh my god. It's got to be the cancer diagnosis,
right? It's got to be. But would Mikey make up that silly, I mean, just the extra detail that like an
invisible phone, not just a phone, that he invented himself. Oh, he's a great glorious man.
What are you saying? Well, he's not capable of this. I'm going to say that's got to be the claim.
Yeah, you're right. It is that is.
the claim that he phoned the coach
with an invisible phone
that you, let me just read the quote
from ESPN itself.
Kim Jong-Soo,
the general secretary of the North Korean
Football Association, has said
the day leader gave in-depth guidance
on how to develop the game in the country
and the coach himself has claimed
he received regular tactical advice during matches
apparently using mobile phones
that are not visible to the naked eye.
John Ill, a man of many talents
is said to have developed the technology
himself.
Wow.
That's spectacular.
I love it.
I want a tiny invisible phone for giving soccer advice.
Oh, wow.
Man, what a man.
The thing I thought you might be bringing along as a claim is more about just Korea
rather than Kim Jong-il.
But it was, I think it was around the time we were at Vidyitz, actually.
They claimed that a North Korean astronaut had landed on the sun.
and in order to go and not get burned up, he went at night time.
Yes, yes.
It's so good.
That's the best bit is that they went at night time.
The sun is out.
The sun wasn't on.
Good.
Oh, man.
There we go.
That's a little glimpse into the wonderful world of North Korea.
Brilliant.
Thank you, Michael.
Absolutely definitely true facts.
Yes.
It is a nice place.
Thank you, Michael.
Question three comes from Addie
At 2 Addie underscore P on Twitter
Netflix are giving you a budget
of $100 million
to adapt one of your old shows
into a season of blockbuster television
Which show are you remaking
And why is it memory cards?
Oh good question
Imagine memory cards with a budget
That would be a...
What do you mean?
That was memory cards with a budget
How much more exciting could we make it?
Yeah, what else could be?
you do
other than
fly around the
world and
interview people
who were involved
in each game
even that
wouldn't be that
exhausting
every week
yeah
oh god
the obvious
answer would be
prove it
because prove it
with a budget
would be great
but I mean
I just really
like
cooking
cooking shows
yeah
I know we didn't
have a specific
show for that
at uh
vidiates now
we've got
main menu
at triple jump
But, you know, we did a bit of cooking here and there.
We did a cooking mama.
And we did the cola syrup that we made.
It wasn't actually cola as well.
Of course.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that deserves a big budget putting potato smileys in the oven time.
And the fallout survival dinner that we made as well out in the field.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think even with a big budget, those videos could be improved, though.
they're already perfection god damn it yeah i mean you're probably right maybe just an extra camera or two
the fallout three theme fading up as we play football with an abandoned doll how do you how do you
improve on perfection how do imagine anything viduits with like actual production behind it though
like it just wouldn't it wouldn't work was it it was it was bad that was it that was it was it was peter and i being
very uncomfortable and feeling like fish out of water for an hour and a half.
That would be idiots with a budget.
There's so many people here doing this properly.
It was bad enough getting on that ride with Billy Railorris at the park.
That was so awkward.
Well, part of me thinks imagine worst games ever with a multi-cam set up and an actual set
with a desk and, you know, looking well nice and that.
And have like proper little segments at the beginning of like the Billy Law and all that and the portal goblin.
Like it would be fun to expand on that a bit more and yeah, make that big a thing.
I would almost like it to be a variety show where it's each we do a run of 10 episodes of an hour long.
There's like a 15 minute worst game section.
There's a prove it section where we go on location to do something fucking stupid.
Oh yeah.
A little bit of cooking.
Yeah.
But we get up much like a.
a children's TV
we get up from our
worst games ever desk
and walk over to the kitchen set
which is part of the same set
and the camera just pans round
we're in a giant
studio that's all painted bright yellow
yes it really hurts to look at
saying the words right sure
oh yeah we could have
like a Dave would show up
with the post each week
it's postman Dave
that would be the big budget video
just getting Dave Benson Phillips
Just getting him, Dave and other TV presenters.
Dave Benson Phillips is expensive.
We do need Netflix books for that.
I actually meant Irish Dave, but yes.
Oh, Irish Dave, of course.
Irish Dave is really expensive too.
Because we'd have to fly him over from Canada each week.
We would.
Just to serve a couple of cans of Rubicon.
Just to ask what we want and then he leaves.
It has to go back to Canada.
It comes back to the following week with drinks.
It's fun to see.
I don't know.
Again, again, the man from.
Milan. The only reason it's even remotely entertaining is because of how shit and low budget
and cobbled together it is. Imagine if we were riding around actual mopeds in the chair
scene. No, give us a stick. Let us run around with them in front of the office. My favourite part
about that is what I thought was kind of brilliantly done, but also dreadfully done in terms
of low budget was um the metal grill shelf for the jail cell in the foreground that was really good
it like slid along you added the sound in post and it actually sort of until you saw that it was
just being held by a hand for a moment you're like oh okay oh okay that's what it is yeah imagine though
if we did have a budget for the moped sequences what we could do because neither peter nor i can ride
mopeds is, I'm assuming
Peter, sorry, I don't mean to
You're right.
Mad stunt lad over here.
We could have stunt doubles
that look nothing like us
for the moped chase scenes.
I think that would also tie into the shitness
while also elevating the production
of the, you know, the show.
Yeah, you're right.
No, I think with a Netflix budget,
do it like a three-part documentary
in pursuit of Jogson.
Juxon.
Making a Jogson.
Yeah,
making a joke
like you're going to deep dive
into his backstory
how he got here
and like finding
about the camera man
yeah like just
unravel the whole thing
and just get to know
the story
that'll be good
amazing
because right at the very end
when he says
oh yeah
you do mad's done
so any pedal bike
and he says
oh fucking dude
he says
no you're
he says something like
your your Danny told me
or your Janice told me
or something
so there's like
an extra character
in there that's alluded
to right at the end
we could track down
track down his Danny
and ask her or him
all about the mad stunts
there's so many people who can talk to
come on Netflix
we could have even have the video variety hour
or in pursuit of joke
or making a jugson
we're easily on the same level
as Auntie Donner
in terms of popularity on the internet
easily
totally comparable
could give us a show
you gave them a show
yeah
give us a show
one's even heard of Australia before
come on give us a show
Netflix
but it's a show
time for my thing
My thing is a news story
Not already a news story
But just an article
It's from mental floss.com
But there are tons of other places
Where you can read about this
Did you know that you have stripes
What?
You, Peter Austin
You have stripes
I don't
Michael Johnson, you have stripes
I'm looking right now
You're lying to me Ben
We all have stripes
The article says
Envy the tiger and the zebra
are no longer you have stripes
of your own. Human skin
is overlaid with what dermatologists
call blaschre
I think Blascoes lines
a pattern of stripes covering the body
from head to toe. The stripes
run up and down your arms and legs and hug
your torso. They wrap around the back of your head
like a speed skater's aerodynamic
hood and across your face
or they would if you could
see them. In the early
1900s, German dermatologist, or a germatologist, Germanthologist, Alfred Blasco, reported that
that many of his patients' rashes and moles seem to follow similar formations, almost as though
they were tracing invisible lines. But those lines didn't follow nerves or blood vessels. They
didn't represent any known body system. And then it shows a little diagram, and there's a winky on it.
Do you want to see a winky? Can you send it to me? You want to see a winky?
Can you use your Microsoft snipping tool and just send you a winky? Do you want to see a winky? Use your
Microsoft snipping tool and just send a tiny square image of the winky. Yeah, I don't have that
because I'm on a map. Oh, just the winky. So there's his little, there's his thing there.
Here's how Blasco depicted these lines in an early paper. It turns out these lines are far more
extensive than even Blasco thought closer to this. And I'll now send you this. There's no winky
on this one. Sorry, Ben and me and Mikey both just sent. Oh, nice, a little close up on the winky
in the chat there. Thanks guys. Yeah, don't worry. Real treat. There we are. There's the stripy. There's the
type you person. Wow. That's what you look like. And today, we know what they are. Cellular relics
of our development from a single cell to a fully formed human. Each one of us started out as a
single cell and then a little glob of cells. As the cells divided, they differentiated. Some
became muscles, others' bones, still others, organs. And some became skin. As those skin cells
continued dividing, they expanded and stretched to cover a quickly growing body. One cell line
pushed and swirled through another, like a steamed milk poured into an espresso to make a latte,
and there's a gif of latte art being made, which is really weird.
Fantastic imagery in this article.
It's so obnoxious, it repeats so rapidly.
It's a very short gif.
Blasco's lines are the molecular evidence of those swells.
Most people will never see their own stripes.
As Dr Blasco noted, there are dozens of skin conditions that follow these lines,
but most of them affect patches of skin or a single-body body.
part, not the entire body. It does go on to say that lined and whorled or horled nevoid nevoid
hypermelonosis can often highlight some of these patterns and stripes. And then there are the
chimeras. Remember the single cell that turned into a glob? It says from time to time two of
these starter cells will merge and become a glob together. The globe eventually results, this is all
scientific. The globe eventually resolves into a chimera, an animal with two lines of
DNA. As the animal's skin develops, the two groups of cells divide and swell just like
non-Chimera skin cells. The difference is the two groups of chimerical cells are slightly
different from each other. Behold, the chimericat Venus. What? Behold the chimericat
Venus. Oh, there you go. Oh, baby. It's a half-black, black,
cat with sort of green eyes and half tabby with blue orange sort of orange boy venus venus
venez instagram and twitter at venus two face cat two face i was trying to do all one word venus
twoffice cat twatwafakiac sometimes this difference is obvious uh more often in humans though
it's too subtle to notice with the naked eye and can only be spotted under uv light so there we are
This was doing the rounds recently, and some people incorrectly, and I've looked into it now,
because it's how I found it with this accompanying sort of ascertaination, I suppose.
Is that a word?
Does that make sense?
I mean, if it is, you're smarter than I am.
I don't know.
Assert. Assertation.
Oh, assertion. Assertation. There it is.
There you. Added an a. Assertion. Thank you. Felt wrong, saying it.
They have added the assertion erroneously that cats can see our stripes because they have special eyes and they can see things that we can't.
But as it turns out from Googling around, that's not true.
There's sort of an urban myth, internet myth website that tracks these stories as they trend and, you know, really goes into detail on when these bullshit bits get added and it even managed to weigh.
identify a specific date and location from where this cat thing was kind of introduced to the
story. But it's not true. Cats can't see our stripes, as exciting as that is, but it doesn't
change the fact that we all have stripes. We just can't see them. Oh, that's a shame. How about that?
Next time someone tells you to earn your stripes, you can say, uh, I've already gone, thank you very
much. You've got a fucking movie like, bud. Or a cat, and they'll say, well, actually cats, that's, that's not
true that's an urban myth. Cats can't see
that. So, um, fucking idiot.
But we can see it in them.
If you go to at Venus
Twafasasat.
Twafasat.
Then you'll see it
for yourself. We'll see all of it.
Magnificent. Well, there's my thing.
Thank you, Ben. That's great.
Let's move on to the final question.
Okay. Yes.
This comes from Momo Beans at
Beans underscore MoMo and
Momo Beans needs some advice.
I'm trying to get my fiancé, I hope you're married,
to let us hire Bobby Babaluni for our wedding.
What?
She isn't sure about hiring a balloon artist for our wedding.
What should I say to convince her
to let us get everyone's favourite balloon creator
to be at our wedding?
Do we have their name?
If you're having a party.
Yeah, that was going to be my response.
Listen, fiancé, insert name here.
If you're having a party,
let me tell you just what to.
do just call Babylonie and they'll make it great for you happen for you yeah something like to say
that it can some people do and you'll know this peter as you're arranging a wedding currently
some people get multiple entertainers to keep people happy i went to a wedding that had a cartoonist
and also someone who did slight of hand magic excuse me it was like going between the tables just
entertaining people
and I'm not saying
Babylonie's services
are not worth a lot of money
but I don't think
Bobby Babylonie would cost a lot of money to hire
so you could probably get a
Babylonie all evening and afford
an additional act
so that's another reason to hire
Babylon is that it won't cost you much
to do so and hey
you can have all of the red arachno
boys made for
your friends as you like
Green Swamp Oger.
I haven't been on Babylonie's website for a while.
Will you join me?
Of course.
Yes, of course.
Let's find out whether it's,
because didn't it go down for a while when Flash got taken down?
She got a new site.
There's no, the song isn't here anymore that that is.
That is truly heartbreaking.
There she is.
Announcement, welcome.
Check out my new announcement.
Learn more.
Just goes to the reviews page where it says reviews coming soon.
Thanks on the heads of.
Whoa, it was old chaff.
Oh, there's a little chat feature, but it's just an email form in disguise.
Oh, man, about the artist.
I hope like I talk to Babylonian real time.
My name is Bobby, but you can call me Babaluni.
Whether you know me as a balloon twister or an elementary school teacher, or one word,
you can be sure that I know how to put big smiles on everyone's face.
Let me make your children feel special.
I know how to do that, it says with four exclamation marks.
I've been twisting throughout South Florida for years at hundreds of parties, restaurants,
hotels, grand openings and special occasions.
You'll always experience my personal attention
and professional service when you choose me.
Babylonie!
I think we've read that before.
I remember the personal attention
and professional service quotes.
Whoa!
Why has Elmo got such a big dick?
Yeah.
Look at this tiny picture of Big Bird.
Oh, where it's big when you click...
It's weird.
It's that size on the Twisted Creations page.
but when you then click on it, it takes you to a tiny...
Let me see if this URL will work instead.
It's holding a smaller version of it.
A babaluni card, look.
Oh, that's really cute.
Nemo.
Oh, that was just a link to the Twisted Creations page, but it's become the Nemo picture.
It's Nemo now.
Oh, yeah, we can't follow that link.
Discord has said, you wanted to see Nemo, right?
It looks like something's been, like, there's a hole punch in the card
that's striking off one of the things they offer.
like private parties and then fun
fun events has been
punched out so I'm going to get they no longer
offer fun events
Momo Bean's wedding is on there
guys you've got to
please like if you if you live
within the vicinity of Bobby Babaluni
why wouldn't you hire them
that's all I'm going to say it's like
just have a scroll through this page
imagine all of your wedding guests
going home with just
something demonic and delightful
that is brilliant oh look at
Mike
Mike Rosowski
I don't think this is
I don't think this is
what you were reading
before Ben
My
and then in inverted
commas
it says
My creations
include
Juggle
and domestic
animals
people
bracelets
hats
hair accessories
headbads
superheroes
superheroes
mermaids
princesses
flowers
swords
ocean life
cartoon characters
aliens
dinosaurs
crowds
and a ton
more
Call for a price quote.
One hour for 10 to 5 children
or one and a half hours for 15 to 20 children.
Or just two hours for no two hours.
Any number of children you can squeeze in that room.
I'll make sure they get a balloon.
Imagine having her as your elementary school teacher.
She looks delightful.
Yeah.
What a star.
I think the biggest loss with the new website
is that on the old website,
every balloon character had like a weird off-branded.
name, which is now lost, which is really sad, actually.
Does it tell you the name of the image if you save it, or is it just a round?
No, I tried that.
I don't think it does.
It just has like a string of numbers.jpg, which is a shame.
That is a shame.
The Babylonie jingle is embedded.
The SoundCloud is embedded on the front page, but if you play it, you just don't get any sound
from it.
Maybe it's just my SoundCloud has turned down because it, like, remembers what your volume was.
But if you click on...
If I go to the sound...
Oh, no, that definitely works.
I can hear those familiar.
Blup, bloop, bloop, bloop, blu.
Oh, what are you?
Welcome to the world of babaloni.
Yes, my appell device is wrong, actually.
Oh.
It's just going out somewhere in your house.
I'm going a layer deeper.
I'm inspecting through Google Chrome.
I'm inspecting the elements, just the various images.
And I'm sorry to report that they also just have generic names.
They don't have it.
Damn it, it's nothing.
It's a can't.
Maybe we need to use the contact page
and just ask Babaluni to please add photo descriptions.
Bobby, please add.
Details.
Please add details.
Why does Mickey Mouse have nipples?
That's what I want to know.
See the Mickey Mouse one?
Oh, wow.
He does have big nips.
Jesus.
Feed his young.
Awful.
What an awful thing you just said.
Oh, I'm sorry.
It's terrible.
Please.
All right.
just get Babylonie please invite us to the wedding we'll be there we'll make sure we get there
get Bobby to do a balloon for us and send it to us in the post and even if it's just popped and
deflated by the time it arrives I won't even care I just want to have a popped balloon
that Babylonie once handled I honestly think if I was a guest at the wedding and even if it
wasn't Bobby Babylonie but there was someone making balloon animals I'd instantly have like the
time of my life that's a nice keepsake that you take home and look at and remember and I
think it would really round out the day.
Please.
Wasn't Mo Mo Bean's wedding?
Fantastic.
What?
Oh shit, yeah, they got married.
I just, I only had eyes for Babylonie all night.
That's the only reason I went.
I saw Babylonie was down and that was, that's sold me on it completely.
Yeah.
Got to go get that sick Babylonian art.
God, have you seen how big that Mike Wozavsky one is when you, if you click on it in
Discord and go to original image, it's fucking huge.
God Almighty.
Wow, that's such a detailed eyeball as well.
That's slightly terrifying, isn't it?
Brilliant.
Yes, all of podiates, every single listener implores you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
To hire Bobby Babylonie.
To just call Babylon.
Call her.
Live our dreams for us.
Dreams can come true.
You've got to do it now.
Legally.
You've got to do it.
Well, there we are.
That's all our questions and things for you this week.
We hope you've enjoyed the episode.
before we get into some of these plugs
would you like to know
what's coming out on
Vidyat's this week
three years ago
yes please
we go
Worst games ever spooky special
Billy the Wizard
Rocket Stick
Rocket broom
I think he said that last time
yeah I did
it happens to fall on
the same day that this episode
releases so I tend to double up
I'm really sorry
but the next video
is
Vidyts is changing
oh no
oh god
no it's probably one
of our most disliked videos actually as well.
Is it actually?
Yeah, and also, yeah.
Yeah, we're on like 81.6% likes on that one.
We were sort of, I remember being really mad about that at the time.
And then I kind of forgot that that happened and went into the graph of how mad I am that that happened, went into a trough.
But now thinking back and being reminded that people disliked that video and had a go at us.
Like, what the fuck?
Yeah.
Why are you taking away our YouTube videos?
We're losing our jobs
Yeah, that was literally it
Some people were real dicks
And I would say that the people
Who stuck out in my mind as being dicks
Didn't have not continued to follow us
So that's not
It's no great loss really, is it?
Entitled, entitled assholes
Yeah, but there were some real, really nasty people about it
They just didn't understand
I forgot that video existed
I knew, I should have known this would come at some point
But, oh, what slap to the face
We ape it every year, don't we, Peter?
We do, triple job
Every time the junkie's not changing.
We copy the thumbnail and everything, announcement.
Just little heartaches.
Oh, heartbreaks for everyone.
Yeah, that's when things really changed.
That's fun.
Everyone liked that.
Yes.
Then, I wonder why the channel didn't do so well.
We did a video about NBA Playgrounds 2,
which we titled Buckets, National Basketball Association 2000.
What?
How we called it National Basketball Association 2000?
Yes, we did.
What the fuck?
Let me...
Professional game, YouTube gamers.
I think...
Was that a sponsored video?
No, I think by that point we were just...
We just had enough.
There you go.
That's the full title.
What the hell?
Oh, with all in 2000s playgrounds too, all written in actual words.
Okay, that's clearly some kind of joke.
Yeah, we're just taking the piss, I think.
Oh, dear.
The sharp decline of videos.
The thing is, the view count didn't dip that much.
He still did like 11K, 12K.
So, yeah, not so bad.
In the spotlight, remember that, Marvel's Spider-Man,
the Heist, DLC for Spider-Man, I think.
Potty, it's episode 19.
Nice little opening asset for that show that Mikey made.
Oh, yeah, it was really nice.
I did enjoy that.
Yeah.
Sadly, opening assets don't get views.
No.
Well, I liked it.
Thanks.
Episode 19 of Pottiots, car crash Dium.
That, I'm just reading the description.
Pottias is now weekly.
Also, we're out of the job.
But Pottias is weekly.
Hooray.
Ben was crashed into by an old lady.
You two were there for that.
Yeah, we were all in the car.
Oh, God, that was horrifying, yeah.
It was good fun.
Post some tat number 38, the penultimate tat.
Oh, God.
Then we did that gigantic one at the end, didn't we?
We'll get to that.
at the end of the final tap being just like this sweaty kind of broken man.
It's like, God, this is so much.
It's like six, seven hours of recording or something it was.
God, there was like a full working day in that room.
Bonkers.
Actually, speaking of which, we might as well repeat it here as well, Peter.
We were talking about this earlier on our triple jump podcast.
We are doing the triple jump tat appeal, obviously, the legacy of Postum Tat lives on.
This isn't to promote that here, but just to say that.
sometimes or previously at least people sent us stuff for you Mikey
but obviously it's a logistical problem for us to get it to you
so we're encouraging people maybe not to do that and if they do want to send you
stuff then they can reach out to you and I'm sure send it to Yog's cast and stuff
like that yeah the yogs cast address is still the same
that send it to videos as well yeah do that
just go to an old post-sum-time
big fan of the channel guys thought I'd send something in for post-sum-ta
I wonder if there is anyone who stumbled across Vidiots in, like, the past two years and was just watching the videos.
They kept popping up on the recommended.
Like, this is great.
Fucking love this.
Wonder what these guys are doing now.
I'm going to send something into this address.
Oh, man.
It'll do Daff some good.
Bring him down a peg to make him do a bit of Hedwig work again, I think.
Oh, yeah.
He's a big name streamer.
New Vidiot's merch.
Remember that?
That was the Vs 1 hoodie and the sort of 90s Vidiots T-shirts.
Was that when we went to that alleyway?
No, no, this is a different one.
This is when we moved the VS1 logo to a hoodie.
Oh, yeah.
I remember that.
We were going to bring that out before videos are changing,
but we thought, no, we don't want to piss people off
if they buy a bit of merch to find out the channel they've bought merch
for us and no longer going to exist in a while.
That's the one where someone is sad and boring on a bench,
and then as soon as they put the merch on, they're really happy.
And have films.
rolls on the floor in that?
Yeah,
yeah, he's just a four-d-roll.
Hap Films didn't add
just like that recently,
but much higher production quality.
Yeah, it was basically just
if you don't have to merch,
you're sad and miserable.
So we really were just Poundland Hat Films.
Hey, it sounds to me
from what you said that
Hap Films was Poundland Vidiates.
It took them close to three years
to rip us off.
No, we love Hat Films to be able.
We do, love Hat Films.
clearly clear. They're wonderful boys and we harbored no resentment at all. But clearly we did something right, just not right enough. There we go. While we're here, Mikey, before I move on with the rest of the videos, do you want to tell people where they can buy that much if they want to? Oh, why not? Why not? If you head over to store.orgscast.com. It's still available. It's still available. Head over to our little section. If you want to relive the year 2018, you can buy.
a Vidyitz player hoodie. Right, there
there it is. Nice huddies, I promise,
probably. That is the saddest
call to action to buy merch I've ever heard.
If you want to buy
something we advertised in November
2018. Days after
we cancelled our channel
we didn't want to do it before the cancellation
but you can buy it now.
You can buy a sad bit of history
and better yet with called Vidyat's at checkout
you can get a 10% off
everything in the
ox stop. There you go.
Incredible. Yeah, that's available.
You can go buy that, please.
Worst games ever,
007 Racing.
That was one.
Vidiot's announcement
Q&A. We had to make another
video to clarify.
This one was far more favourably
received. And I think it started
off with Peter
saying fuck you to people who
would dicks about it. Yeah, it was.
I thought, well, nothing to lose now.
Yeah.
You were right because some people were very nasty about it.
So, there we are.
Pottiest episode 20, bookache.
Peter can only defecate when reading.
Bent on the hunt for a mystery, Rosie and Jim cassette tape.
And Mike's moved flat.
For the record, I can't only decaffinate when reading.
It was to do with that thing where people in Asia go into bookshops and need to take a shit.
Yeah, that's really weird, isn't it?
psychological effect.
Spiro Reignited Blindfold Challenge.
That was a piece of cake video.
Yeah.
That was fun.
Oh, I remember that being a fever dream of a challenge video.
I was running up and down the corridors.
Now, that was a different one.
So that was Ben played blindfolded, but then we also did the Proof It, live action challenge.
That was a very, very low budget prove it, wasn't it?
Shot in the office, just wandering around.
I'm in trouble, Tubbs.
Worst Games Ever Miami Vice.
That's a good one.
I like that one.
And honestly, one of my favorite videos we've ever made,
The Little Britain DVD game is broken.
Well, our recording managed to lose all of the sounds,
so enjoy this sample with whatever audio we could glean from our recording.
Margaret.
Mark?
Mark.
Mark.
Oh, it's incredible.
Mikey, I think in some ways, I think your laugh carried a lot of videos.
Oh, yeah, it's infectious.
If you hadn't laughed at stuff, it wouldn't have been anywhere near as funny.
Peter and I are very dry.
Our human's very dry.
I'm there just as, I'm like the laugh track in a sit-bend pretty much.
That's a reminder.
It's all just the Big Bang theory.
It's actually shit content, but the laughter is there.
It makes a huge difference, though, having someone who's, like, loudly laughing.
Just wailing.
I remember, like, we'd like finish recording and we'd just.
out and the editors
been looking at
it's like
God that was loud
aren't you?
Sorry.
That happens.
You sound like
you were haunted.
I'm going to be sick.
Well, there we are.
That's what came out
on video at three years.
Oh, good.
Thank you, Ben.
Wonderful as always.
Especially this time.
How sad.
