Oh, did you have a good spooky time, everybody? Oh, best spooktober of my life.
Starting point is 00:00:58 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.
Starting point is 00:01:13 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.
Starting point is 00:01:38 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.
Starting point is 00:01:52 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.
Starting point is 00:02:06 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.
Starting point is 00:02:25 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,
Starting point is 00:02:48 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
Starting point is 00:03:01 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

Starting point is 00:04:17 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.
Starting point is 00:04:34 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.

Starting point is 00:05:08 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
Starting point is 00:05:18 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.

Starting point is 00:11:03 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.
Starting point is 00:11:23 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.
Starting point is 00:11:38 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.
Starting point is 00:11:53 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,
Starting point is 00:12:10 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.
Starting point is 00:12:43 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,
Starting point is 00:13:03 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
Starting point is 00:13:20 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
Starting point is 00:13:32 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
Starting point is 00:13:47 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
Starting point is 00:14:01 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
Starting point is 00:14:26 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.
Starting point is 00:14:59 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
Starting point is 00:15:17 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
Starting point is 00:15:32 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
Starting point is 00:16:01 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,
Starting point is 00:16:39 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.
Starting point is 00:16:51 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.
Starting point is 00:17:07 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.
Starting point is 00:17:37 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,
Starting point is 00:17:53 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.
Starting point is 00:18:07 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
Starting point is 00:18:40 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,
Starting point is 00:18:56 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
Starting point is 00:19:14 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
Starting point is 00:19:33 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.
Starting point is 00:19:48 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
Starting point is 00:20:01 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,
Starting point is 00:20:22 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
Starting point is 00:20:55 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.
Starting point is 00:21:21 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
Starting point is 00:21:43 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?
Starting point is 00:22:07 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?
Starting point is 00:22:15 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.
Starting point is 00:22:27 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...
Starting point is 00:22:57 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.
Starting point is 00:23:20 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.
Starting point is 00:23:48 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
Starting point is 00:24:27 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.
Starting point is 00:25:03 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.
Starting point is 00:25:16 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.
Starting point is 00:25:29 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.
Starting point is 00:25:57 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
Starting point is 00:26:48 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.
Starting point is 00:27:38 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.
Starting point is 00:27:57 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
Starting point is 00:28:29 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
Starting point is 00:28:43 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?
Starting point is 00:28:59 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.
Starting point is 00:29:23 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
Starting point is 00:29:37 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
Starting point is 00:29:48 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
Starting point is 00:30:02 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
Starting point is 00:30:18 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.
Starting point is 00:30:34 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
Starting point is 00:30:54 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.
Starting point is 00:31:10 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
Starting point is 00:31:26 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
Starting point is 00:31:40 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?
Starting point is 00:31:50 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
Starting point is 00:32:09 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.
Starting point is 00:32:37 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.
Starting point is 00:32:56 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.
Starting point is 00:33:10 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.
Starting point is 00:33:21 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
Starting point is 00:33:32 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
Starting point is 00:33:44 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.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Oh, oh, God. Cloddietz. Oh, God. Anyway, anyway, let's... Maybe. What is that sorry? Clogietz. Cloggyets.
Starting point is 00:34:06 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
Starting point is 00:34:39 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.
Starting point is 00:35:21 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,
Starting point is 00:35:48 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.
Starting point is 00:36:24 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.
Starting point is 00:36:36 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?
Starting point is 00:37:02 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.
Starting point is 00:37:24 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?
Starting point is 00:37:48 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.
Starting point is 00:38:07 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
Starting point is 00:38:31 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.
Starting point is 00:38:50 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
Starting point is 00:39:11 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,
Starting point is 00:39:29 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,
Starting point is 00:39:49 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.
Starting point is 00:40:16 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
Starting point is 00:40:50 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
Starting point is 00:41:35 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.
Starting point is 00:42:10 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.
Starting point is 00:42:32 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.
Starting point is 00:43:13 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.
Starting point is 00:43:29 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.
Starting point is 00:43:52 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,
Starting point is 00:44:17 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.
Starting point is 00:44:48 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
Starting point is 00:45:04 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.
Starting point is 00:45:19 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.
Starting point is 00:45:46 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.
Starting point is 00:45:59 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
Starting point is 00:46:10 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
Starting point is 00:46:27 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
Starting point is 00:46:38 world and interview people who were involved in each game even that wouldn't be that exhausting every week
Starting point is 00:46:45 yeah oh god the obvious answer would be prove it because prove it with a budget would be great
Starting point is 00:46:51 but I mean I just really like cooking cooking shows yeah I know we didn't have a specific
Starting point is 00:47:01 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.
Starting point is 00:47:11 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.
Starting point is 00:47:34 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.
Starting point is 00:48:18 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.
Starting point is 00:48:53 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
Starting point is 00:49:06 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
Starting point is 00:49:23 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.
Starting point is 00:49:37 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.
Starting point is 00:49:56 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
Starting point is 00:50:31 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
Starting point is 00:50:58 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
Starting point is 00:51:14 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
Starting point is 00:51:26 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
Starting point is 00:51:32 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
Starting point is 00:51:38 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
Starting point is 00:51:47 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
Starting point is 00:51:59 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
Starting point is 00:52:10 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
Starting point is 00:52:18 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?
Starting point is 00:52:35 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
Starting point is 00:52:46 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
Starting point is 00:53:04 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
Starting point is 00:53:28 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
Starting point is 00:54:04 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,
Starting point is 00:54:48 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.
Starting point is 00:55:13 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
Starting point is 00:56:05 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?
Starting point is 00:56:55 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.
Starting point is 00:57:26 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.
Starting point is 00:58:12 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.
Starting point is 00:58:27 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?
Starting point is 00:58:45 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.
Starting point is 00:59:03 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
Starting point is 00:59:35 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
Starting point is 00:59:52 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?
Starting point is 01:00:08 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.
Starting point is 01:00:21 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.
Starting point is 01:00:36 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.
Starting point is 01:01:04 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?
Starting point is 01:01:22 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.
Starting point is 01:01:39 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
Starting point is 01:01:58 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
Starting point is 01:02:14 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
Starting point is 01:02:30 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
Starting point is 01:02:39 commas it says My creations include Juggle and domestic animals people
Starting point is 01:02:46 bracelets hats hair accessories headbads superheroes superheroes mermaids princesses
Starting point is 01:02:52 flowers swords ocean life cartoon characters aliens dinosaurs crowds and a ton
Starting point is 01:03:00 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.
Starting point is 01:03:19 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?
Starting point is 01:03:38 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.
Starting point is 01:03:58 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.
Starting point is 01:04:12 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.
Starting point is 01:04:31 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.
Starting point is 01:04:46 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.
Starting point is 01:04:55 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
Starting point is 01:05:24 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.
Starting point is 01:05:38 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.
Starting point is 01:05:59 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.
Starting point is 01:06:14 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.
Starting point is 01:06:28 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
Starting point is 01:06:38 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
Starting point is 01:06:46 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.
Starting point is 01:07:00 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.
Starting point is 01:07:24 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
Starting point is 01:07:38 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?
Starting point is 01:07:56 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.
Starting point is 01:08:13 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?
Starting point is 01:08:33 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.
Starting point is 01:08:45 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.
Starting point is 01:09:04 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.
Starting point is 01:09:18 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.
Starting point is 01:09:34 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.
Starting point is 01:09:50 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.
Starting point is 01:10:08 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
Starting point is 01:10:41 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.
Starting point is 01:11:02 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.
Starting point is 01:11:18 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,
Starting point is 01:11:37 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,
Starting point is 01:11:55 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.
Starting point is 01:12:10 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.
Starting point is 01:12:53 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
Starting point is 01:13:11 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.
Starting point is 01:13:29 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
Starting point is 01:13:45 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.
Starting point is 01:14:02 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.
Starting point is 01:14:24 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.
Starting point is 01:14:42 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.
Starting point is 01:15:04 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.
Starting point is 01:15:22 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.
Starting point is 01:15:44 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?
Starting point is 01:15:55 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.
Starting point is 01:16:09 Oh, good. Thank you, Ben. Wonderful as always. Especially this time. How sad. YouTube Twitter. We're over now. We've passed it.
