Everyone in the studio that I worked on this jingle with all had like childhood stories or memories around either watching these commercials on TV or sitting with our moms while they were doing their makeup and it became really personal for us. It's Maple Lane Maybe it's Maple Lane
Starting point is 00:01:04 I just did the thing, guys What have you done? It's really bad The thing that people say that they do And I don't really believe They've actually done it And they're just posting it Just because they can't think of a tweet
Starting point is 00:01:18 But Just did a little smiley-facing pit On the wall with it Yeah, oh yeah I just smeared shit all that Oh no People always say they do that Yeah
Starting point is 00:01:27 No, I am Amy just said me have a nice podcast and I said you too oh that's oh no recovering from that one you can't get married now no enjoy your coffee you too that's what people tweet about is that a nice holiday you too you too oh maybe this is the spurt you needed to start her own podcast though her own rival yeah that's what she's doing right now maybe I will have a good podcast Peter I'll show you He's socially awkward man. I avoided that the other day.
Starting point is 00:02:05 I don't think I've ever done it, but someone said something similar to me. And my brain just sort of melted down and went, and I walked off. Because I was walking away anyway, but I realized how weird it sounded afterwards that I didn't. I didn't say, I wanted to say you too. I'm not, they're not doing that.
Starting point is 00:02:24 The same thing I'm doing. So this went, because that's, better. Yeah. Honestly, I think a saved face, so. I think whenever,
Starting point is 00:02:35 I feel like it's a slip-up I make quite often. And whenever I do it, you just don't linger on it. You just say it and get out of there and don't give them time to respond. Just keep walking. They'll forget about it. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:02:47 It'll haunt your dreams for the next 10 years, but they'll, they probably won't remember it. Yeah, I hope. God, I hope. Yeah, it'll be fine. I do, I do hate those moments that you have in public, so not even with people
Starting point is 00:02:58 you don't know, especially with people you don't know, I suppose. People you know that you'll never see again. It's really awkward. I had it the other week where I was in Tesco and I bought a roll and something warm from the deli counter to go in the roll.
Starting point is 00:03:11 And there was a little cafe and I went in there had a scout around and there was no ketchup and I asked the lady behind the counter do you have any like sachets of ketchup? And she said, well, you're going to buy something? I was like, fucking hell, all right. I mean, I didn't need. And as she said it
Starting point is 00:03:27 she handed me the sachets like, go on. on then. It's like, you've just made me feel one inch tall and you gave me what I wanted. Why did you do that? So you said, you too? And walked out of the cover. I jumped over the counter and I punched her in the face. That showed her. No, it's just like, it's kind of humiliating. I didn't need that. And I thought about it for the whole rest of the day. And I went to a funeral that day. Oh, no, you didn't need that. And yet that's what you were thinking. You should have been paying your respects. And I could think about it. I was so polite. I didn't say, Can I have some ketchup?
Starting point is 00:04:00 It was, do you have any ketchup sachets? Are you going to order, you know, are you going to order something? You're just going to run away with them ketchups and have a meal of nothing with ketchup, Mr. I know that those are worthless to you. Why are you guarding, why are you hoarding these? I don't understand. Geez. Well, should we have a nice podcast?

Starting point is 00:07:43 around spooky times and I'm always sad because I love the pod and I also love spooks but better late than never. Though as the big fans of spooks that, Spook boys that,
Starting point is 00:07:53 oh, I'm reading. Come on, Michael. You can do better than this. Like old times. Though as the. the big fans of spooks that you boys are, I was wondering if you're going to Sorkon. You see you there.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Absolutely. Socoron. Sorkon, what is it? Sorkon Trent. Historic town. Oh, oh, fuck. I get it. Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:08:16 There it is. Suck on these nuts. Salk on these nuts. Got him. Got him. Very good. Very good. No, I'm afraid we're not.
Starting point is 00:08:26 I think I can. Can I? Do you mind if I answer, presumptively for all of us? Yeah, without conferring, no. I don't think we're going to SORCON. I don't know what that is, but I hope you have a lovely time. Is it in December? I'd like to think it's not actually about slasher films.
Starting point is 00:08:43 It's about just timber work tools. Yeah, yeah. Sounds great. Sounds best. It's just a bunch of wood enthusiasts get together. It's great fun. Bring your dad along. You'll love it.
Starting point is 00:08:54 The list continues with SorkonD's. nuts. Oh, shit. Okay. Well, there we are. Genuinely didn't, Mikey didn't know that one in advance, did you? I said, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:07 That's why I screamed. Oh, I get it now. Well, I know you said it, but I didn't realize. Oh, I didn't realize you'd looked ahead. We've got them separate images. So Peter and I have just switched on to the next one. I thought that was an original joke, Mikey. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:09:19 I didn't look. I got that all by myself. I didn't need to look at the next image. So I'm going to give myself big internet points. Yeah, good for you, man. That was good. I suspect it's from this the thing is it's a joke so that person is not going to sork on have you got this far as well then or have you just realized that oh yeah okay yeah I didn't
Starting point is 00:09:41 know it's this bit either for fuck's sake well this is the problem is that it's all people don't seem to realize we say it every week it's in reverse order so people's donations come in reverse order so there's a good chance that stephen may have donated twice and he wanted it to go Stephen Scodes and then is very handsome and cool because it's in reverse it says monkey hanger is very handsome or Stephen Scodez. So people donate things in a particular order and it comes out wrong.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Although I think the Sorkom one is in the intentional order but it's because we've split it across two troops. It's supposed to have just been Mikey saying you're going to Sorkon and then we're like, what's Sorkon? And then the next one is Sorkon D's nuts. That's it. That's how it's supposed to go. For fuck sake.
Starting point is 00:10:26 There was a void between the two, a great rift of several miles. So that's why Mikey said, fuck. I thought he was, I thought that was about the Sorkon Trent joke, but it was, we were just, yeah, we're on different continents. What an absolute car crash. Fuck me. It's like a sore film we've been left with here. Right. Soak on these nuts.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Justice for Jeff sex. And then the revoltingly, sickeningly. disgustingly generous. Pollen-packed pipe. This should be enough for one hot dog each from the Christmas market in your city or town. Oh my God. Pollen-packed pipe.
Starting point is 00:11:08 We're going to check in with you and make sure that was an intentional. But thank you so much. It's time for a wellness check. Are you okay, please? Thank you so much. That's incredibly generous. The list continues. Momo beans?

Starting point is 00:16:28 and a reminder, streamlabs.com forward slash podiot's donations three pounds or more to get a shout out. Nice. It's question time.
Starting point is 00:16:36 John's a question, do it? It's a question time. I'll have questions now then. We'll do it. This one's from Stuart Christ. Oh, fuck. Stuart. At Stucalicious on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:16:47 He says, arguably, the Vidiots YouTube channel jumped the shark when Peter got hit by a car. But how would you jump two sharks? So if we were still making videos, what would we have to do to just go beyond the pale? It would be, Dick and Dom would be it, right?
Starting point is 00:17:07 Yeah. If we did some sort of skip or sketch. We got Dave. He was very affordable. But if we managed to do some kind of bungalow type sketch with Dick and Dom, what else would we have to do after that? Yeah. Yeah, a rendition of the Stalk-on-Trent song with the actual cat.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Well, I was about to say that. Like, you know, jumping the shark is not just, you know, going beyond, you know, the point of no return, but it's also kind of meant to be a bit ridiculous. And I think getting Dick and Dom would almost be prestigious, whereas perhaps getting the puppeteer to come in and to sing Stoke-on-Trent with us. That would be weird enough that, you know, that would be the point, I think. Oh, dear. Maybe while I'm just getting hit by a car in the background or something.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Maybe. Why not? Double lammie. I think it could have been done, though, if you. you think 50k subscribers in what 11 months yeah not that we necessarily would have continued to grow at that trajectory but if we were still going now somehow we'd almost certainly have enough pull yeah we could we could get dave chapman to come in he's the puppeteer i've seen him do interviews and stuff just on you know reasonable sized youtube channels just talking about
Starting point is 00:18:16 puppetry and kids tv and stuff so he would he'd be up for it no question holes in his shoes we could pay him he'd definitely do it do you think he's got his own dave does things for stuff website you'll come and puppet i think he's doing all right he does a lot of he was in he did um b b b8 and stuff in star wars oh really oh my god wait really bb8 is is the kistol on train cat yeah yeah what the hell and he did like the dark crystal stuff they did on netflix and um i think actually there's a there's an advert on tv at the moment um where two aliens are talking about i think it's like a mobile network or something there's these two puppet aliens talking to each other from the ship A bit like Kang and Kodos from the Simpsons, like watching Earth.
Starting point is 00:18:57 And I'm reasonably sure he does one of them because the voice sounds like him and he voices a lot of them. Like he voices the neighbor's cat and just the art vark as well he did. And BV8 too. And BV8 he voiced, yeah. So we could get that. Incidentally, while we're on the subject to the neighbor's cat, I think since the previous poddiots,
Starting point is 00:19:16 the neighbor's cat was dragged out of the attic and dusted off, although not very well because of grievous. To be fair, it never looked particularly presentable. No, but I think now it's got real dirt on it. So we tweeted about it. I'll re-ad it to the thread for this episode, but it's on our feed on Twitter. Yeah, he was in a charity sing-song for BBC Children in Need
Starting point is 00:19:44 where they got all of the kids' TV puppets to come and sing a song together. He had like one line and then all the other bigger names had had a lot more to sing. So all the depressed 30-year-olds could tune in and say, oh yeah, there's the neighbor's cat from when things were good. Remember? There he is. He's just popped up on Twitter. The neighbor's cat looks like it's doing about as well as I am.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Yeah. That's what we do then. Get Dick and Dom and all the neighbor's cat in. Yeah, any embellishments, Mikey? I don't know. Because when I hear jumped the shark, I went the other end of the spectrum. It was like, oh, God, there's no comeback from this. Like, that was the worst thing I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:20:23 yeah poor quality oh right yeah jump the shark is just sort of like well that's it yeah that's yeah that's the deep end i took anyway i i i figured just we those three dress up in like billy walrus costumes and do a flash mob somewhere oh that would that would like be the mark of the end times all of our channel earnings to fly to new york just to go to time square and do a one-minute flash dance i mean like hype it up for weeks we've really pushed a bought out this this new video involves International travel. Like video, it's like in America. And the one output from that is just just us flapping around to what.
Starting point is 00:21:00 And then Peter gets taken out by a taxi. Yeah. That would, that way. I think that would bring it back. That would be a pretty good ending. That would be worth it. You don't want to get stuck in an American hospital though. No, God.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Not as we've spent all the money getting there. Yeah. Yeah. We'll have to buy more toilet seats while we're there to sell. Just to get our flight back. God. Speaking of which, we are working on the toilet seats. by the way, Dave Hans and Phillips signed
Starting point is 00:21:24 toilet seat. I hit this podcast. We've got it. We just need to sell it and that'll be soon. For charity. For charity, yes. The charity, yes. Yes, it's in the works.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Well, it's time for a thing. Who'd like to thing? I don't have a shot at once. Jesus Christ. I'll go. I'll fucking go then. Yeah, go on. Why not?
Starting point is 00:21:46 Why not? Here's where his. Hit us. Here we fucking go. This is a pretty interesting, historical and slightly amusing. story that I saw. It's from a couple of weeks ago, November the 23rd. This is written by Amar Rose Abrams and it's from news.artnet.com. And the headline reads, A New York
Starting point is 00:22:06 woman used this mosaic from Caligula's party boat as a coffee table for years. Now it has been returned to Italy. Wow. So here we are. Let's learn a bit more. In 2013, the Italian architect Dario del Bufthalo, I'm assuming not Buffalo, overheard a one in a million conversation that led to the rediscovery of a priceless 200-year-old mosaic that once belonged to the, not 200-year, that's got to be a typo, right? Yeah, no, because it's a classical... The Victorian rule was Roman Emperor Caligula.
Starting point is 00:22:41 It's not 200 years ago, sure. That's got to be 2,000, I guess. Yeah, yeah, it would be 2,000. 200-year-old mosaic that once belonged to the Roman Emperor Caligula. Del Bufalo recently told 60 Minutes that he was signing copies of his book, Porfri, about the Redstone popular with Roman emperors at the Bulgari store in New York when he heard a young woman comment to a, young man, sorry, comments to a woman he was with, what a beautiful book. Oh, Helen, look, that's your mosaic.
Starting point is 00:23:12 He then heard the woman reply, Yeah, that's my mosaic. Del Bufalo took off after the pair and caught up with the young man, who told them that mosaic was housed at the woman's apartment on Fifth Avenue and was being used to serve tea and coffee. In fact, Del Bofalo realized the mosaic was a missing piece of a dance floor made for one of Caligula's boats. The emperor had commissioned two of the boats, adorned with gardens, silk sails, and even bathrooms, and used them for extravagant floating parties on Lake Neme. Neme? Yes, Nemi.
Starting point is 00:23:43 But the third Roman emperor was so disliked for his brutal leadership that, following his assassination, both ships were sunk. Over the centuries, many attempts have been made to recover the boats. In the 1930s, Mussolini dredged the lake and found the remains of the boats, which were put into a museum. But it was in turn burned at the end of the World War II. This isn't very well written, I'm realizing now. The end of World War II, three years ago. It is. It is thought that as the chaos of war took hold, the mosaics were stolen before being sold to the woman Del Bufalo overheard at his book signing in the 1960s.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Hang on. Again, that's poorly written. It was sold to her in the 1960s. The book signing, as we already established, was in 2013. 200 years ago. The woman in question was this written by Doctor Who? I don't know. I'm so confused. It's a great story, but it's written poorly. The woman in question was antiquities dealer Helen Fiorati, who said she had bought the mosaic from an Italian family in good faith. While she recognised its beauty, she did not know of its incredible history or questionable provenance. It was an innocent purchase, Miss Fiorati told the New York Times in 2017. It was our favourite thing, and we had it for 45 years. Del Bofalo notified authorities and prosecutors eventually seized the table based on evidence that it had been stolen.
Starting point is 00:25:07 It has since been returned to Italy, where it is now on display at the Museum of the Roman ships in Nemi, Nemi, 19 miles outside of Rome. In his interview with 60 Minutes, Del Bofalo said that he would make a replacement table for Fioretti, adding that she would never know the difference. I felt very sorry for her, but I couldn't do anything different, knowing that my museum in Nimai Nemi Nemi Nemi is missing the best part that went through the centuries, through war, through a fire, and then through an Italian art dealer and finally could go back to the museum, he said. That's the only thing I felt I should have done. It's a good job she didn't hate it, chuck it out. Yeah, I know. And not a fan of the colours of this, I'm going to repaint it. It's just actually mess it up.
Starting point is 00:25:49 There's the mosaic that was from Caligula's 200-year-old party boat. Wow. And, yeah, someone was just using it as a coffee table in New York. It's upcycle it. Real 70s vibe. Yeah, yeah. Free to a good home. Got a few stains.
Starting point is 00:26:06 I've had some considerable use. Dave Benson Phillips bare ass on this mosaic. It's been on Caligula's mose. there we are that's my thing thanks for that well I've got a question here it's from Darius Owen Canning at Darius Canning on Twitter who says how excited is Ben for Spider-Man No Way Home and are there any other upcoming movies you're all itching to see
Starting point is 00:26:36 Spider-Man Howay home yes Howie Howie whom Does this come out after Spider-Man this episode that we're recording. Oh, when does Spider-Man come out? That's an absolute question. It's early December. The answer is I'm very, very excited.
Starting point is 00:26:53 I think it's going to be really, really fun. And we haven't had like a big Marvel movie for a while. We had Black Widow and Shang-Chi, which is good. And the TV shows, which have also been good. But this feels like a really big one. And we haven't had a big one since Avengers Endgame, which was a couple of years ago now. So, yeah, very excited.
Starting point is 00:27:13 I'm quite looking forward. forward to Jurassic World Dominion. Oh yeah, how long has that been in production now? Well, it should have come out this year and then COVID happened. But it was one of the first movies, I think, to declare that it wasn't going to be done on time. It was kind of because their slated deadline was more imminent. I think they were the first to realize, oh, you know, we've been affected enough to this point, to the point that we know it's not going to be done.
Starting point is 00:27:40 So, yeah, they were like one of the first big blockbusters to say, we're going to push that now but it's ready now it's wrapped they've done post-production they've released a little promo video as well like a little like a I don't know if it's a
Starting point is 00:27:56 opening scene or if it's like just a promotional thing but it's just a T-Rex kind of running around doing stuff doing T-Rex stuff what more do you need a big T-Rex running around doing stuff that's it that's the money maker I've always quite liked
Starting point is 00:28:11 certainly the Jurassic Park films And, you know, Jurassic World has never really blown my mind. But it's one of those things that I'm always willing to just give it another chance. So I'm quite looking forward to that. There's that new Batman coming as well, isn't there? The Batman? Intriguing. Oh, the Batman.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Yeah. Was that Robert Patterson? Yeah. The Little Twilight Boy, yeah. Oh, a little Twinkle Man. Twinkle Man. Twinkleman. Well, I guess he was a vampire now.
Starting point is 00:28:38 He's just returned to the bat form. It's just a continuation of the Twilight story, isn't it? cycle. No, he's clearly a very accomplished actor. I'm really looking forward to that. Yes, no, yes. He's done plenty. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Oh, yeah, I totally forgot about the Batman. I think, yeah, that might be one of the few things I'm looking forward to, actually, because I'm looking at upcoming films. It's all Marvel. It's all Marvel. Yeah. Yeah, it's an awful of Marvel. But I'm cautiously optimistic for the Matrix Resurrections.
Starting point is 00:29:04 I think that's, that's, it's, I mean, as long as it kind of leads into the goofiness of the matrix and doesn't lose. lose its heart. It doesn't just become another big budget, Rudy Tootie, point and shooty adventure. I think it could be a lot of fun. I'm not a simp for Keanu Reeves, but it just sounds like
Starting point is 00:29:24 it would be a nice time. And, yeah, beyond that, there's a Minions film coming out. The new Jackass is coming next year as well. Oh, God, yeah, Jackass. If that been pushed as well, I thought that was meant to come out a couple of months ago. Yeah, no, it's not out yet. I think it's like
Starting point is 00:29:40 a Valentine's Day release or something now, isn't it? It might be very romantic. Go and watch people throw up on the big screen. Oh, I wonder, yeah, are they going to poop on screen again? Or are we going to live beyond that? It might be rubbish, but it might be great. Like, I really liked, well, all of them. But, you know, the budget just went up and up and up.
Starting point is 00:30:02 And Jack has 3D, I thought, was really good. I mean, you can keep you 3D. I'm happy to watch it in 2D, but, you know, just to keep taking it further. still going it's going to be like it's going to be like more of a thriller film now they're watching them all so old it's like oh god please don't do that
Starting point is 00:30:19 you can you can dislocate the spine or something well they've got new people in as well yeah there's a wrestler talent wrestlers in one of them but I think a lot of those guys did were hospitalized during this one yeah yeah they were
Starting point is 00:30:32 going to be good yeah also apparently chicken run too is TBA TBC next year yeah I knew it was happening but I didn't know when it was many be coming out, but apparently there's no firm date, but 2022. Oh, my God, yes. I had no idea that was a thing.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Holy crap. That makes sense. Mario Bros is in December. Oh, we got to see Chris Pratt doing it. It's so cool. It's just going to be Mario with Chris Pratt's voice. That's it. That's Chris Pratt's vocal range is his voice.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Yeah. Oh, dear. Avatar too as well. I mean, I'm excited for it. God. Come on. intrigued to see what happens. Way too late.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Yeah. Yeah. And on top of that, I mean, I'm kind of more looking forward to just actual streaming shows, more than films, really, at this point. There's loads of stuff that I'm excited for next year. Is the Book of Boba next year? No, that's this year. That's end of December.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Oh. But next year is Obi-1 Canobi. Oh. Obie Canobi? I think other stuff as well. I think they've confirmed Mandalorian season three and Cassian Andor spinoff
Starting point is 00:31:45 so I'm excited for all that but you know outside of Star Wars as well there's some some cool stuff on the way so yeah I'm admittedly very bad of keeping up with things I just kind of get surprised like oh that's out cool I guess I'm going to see I mean that's nicer in a way yeah oh dear
Starting point is 00:32:02 much to think about much to think about I'm going to close the cinema listings now I'm getting sad at the Marvel I'm an elitist I guess no one else is allowed fun because i don't like it how dare you jump aboard the hype train chew chew i missed um the green knight Sergo wayne in the green night film that came out this year
Starting point is 00:32:23 and i forgot to see it while it was in cinemas so good it's artsy fartsy wanky bullshit to the highest degree and i loved it i had no idea what was going on at any point and i was like yes i love it i wanted to see it at timeside but uh yeah i missed miss the boat i highly recommend it's it's definitely I've always been a fan of, you know, films that create a mood rather than tell a story and it definitely, it does that to perfection.
Starting point is 00:32:47 It's a work of bloody art. Oh, nice. Yeah, I'll check it out. I've got a thing here, which is also a news story. So maybe we do those, get those out the way and get the big Mikey energy at the end. Take him all to the finish. Pressure there. So this is according to Gizmodo.
Starting point is 00:33:10 So you know it's going to be good It's written by Molly Taft And Molly's headline simply reads Salmon Plastic Jiz mug Salmon Plastic Jiz mug Okay Oh no Right
Starting point is 00:33:27 One possible answer to the growing plastic problem Could come from a weird place Could come from a weird place Salmon Jiz In a study Published recently in the Journal of American Chemical Society, a team of researchers from China detail how they've created what they call DNA plastics, a plastic material made from strands of DNA.
Starting point is 00:33:52 To create the new material, researchers extracted DNA from salmon sperm and mixed it with chemicals from vegetable oil to create a gel-like substance. That substance can then be formed into a mold and freeze-dried. Researchers in the study used this process, which they call aqua welding, to produce a bunch of little chochkeys, including a mug, a model of a DNA molecule, and some puzzle pieces. The mug, frankly, looks like something made from sperm and isn't going to win any design awards anytime soon. Foolishly, I'm reading this off my phone, but actually what I should quickly do is try and pull it up on the computer so that I can send you guys the picture. A cum mug. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Giz no dough. I do hope at some point What is it the mugs are made out of? It's like, is it? It's not porcelain, is it? Porcelain's too expensive. Well, some are. Yeah, nice ones.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Oh. But I hope we reach a new standard in mug materials and getting bored of the bog standard white, white nothing, he was so imprinted on it. I want us to enter a new age of mugs. So I'm actually, I'm okay with this new development in mug technologies. Here it is. It's a very small image. And I couldn't right click it either.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Oh, wow. The snip tool. Oh, that does look like. someone's just frozen a lord of cum that's rubbish isn't it that's really rubbish yeah a child made that a child yes actually there might be a big i'm sure i saw a bigger version of that on twitter at the time oh yeah here it is oh in all its detail uh hang on people are going to like this image on twitter and they'll have no idea what they're like you just like come here it is salmon cum mug that's rubbish if you put anything in that that handles flimsy as hell yeah it looks like when you feel it with water it
Starting point is 00:35:38 return to liquid steers. I'm saying, oh God. Well, Mikey, you may jest, but let me continue. The mug, frankly, looks like something made from sperm, and it isn't going to win any design awards any time soon. Recycling this particular plastic is easy. A special enzyme can digest the DNA to break it down, or it can be dunked in water to turn it back into a gel.
Starting point is 00:36:03 And then in parentheses, it says, that, incidentally, also means the mug might not be the best use of this particular plastic technology. Of all the things you can make, why the one thing it shouldn't do? We've made a boat out of salmon jes. In addition
Starting point is 00:36:20 to being easily broken down, an added bonus of this new material is that its carbon footprint is much lower than traditional plastic since it doesn't require any heat. Yeah, because it's come. Yes. The salmon spunk plastic
Starting point is 00:36:34 uses about 5% of the energy that it takes to make regular plastic. Plastics made from biological materials like cornstarch have much lower emissions over their lifetime than regular plastics made with petrochemicals but still need heat and energy to create, meaning producing them on a fossil-fueled grid is still a major problem for the climate. There are also other issues with traditional bioplastics including recyclability that make them less than great solutions in our current waste management system. To the best of our knowledge.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Our reported DNA plastic. Peter. Yes. How do they harvest the salmon jiv? Oh, yes. I think they just wank off a salmon. That's the confirmation I wanted. I wasn't sure if the news would just say, and here is how they harvest it.
Starting point is 00:37:23 And it's just the worst gift you've ever seen. I don't think it says it. That is rubbish. That's what I want to know. Yeah. They're just above the big pond where they all live, because that's how it works. They're just put on a big screen, and it's got prawn hub on it. Oh, boo.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Sorry, that was really weak. I like that. I'm a big fan. Yes. Sorry. There's also a kind of fish called a chub, isn't there? There is. There is a chub.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Porn chub. Catching them in Stadji Valley is very funny. You found a record chub. Oh, excellent. I mean, to be honest, the rest of the article is pretty dry, to be honest, ironically. But that's sort of the idea. It says the new bioplastic researchers say isn't dependent on fish jizz. I'm sure that's not quote.
Starting point is 00:38:18 You can use almost any organic material. But there are some big caveats to the dawn of the jizz plastic age. Sorry, sorry, why did the choose fish jizz then if you could use any material? I guess it's attention grabbing. It's a good market employee. I'll give them that. But there are some big caveats to the dawn of the jizz plastic age, including the pretty problematic hurdle,
Starting point is 00:38:41 that it needs to stay dry in order to retain its shape. To actually use that salmon cum mug, the researchers made, you'd need to coat it with a waterproof layer of other plastics. That would make it much harder to recycle. It's probably better in its unadulterated form, researchers say, for stuff like packaging, and certain electronics that won't get wet. right okay what oh just imagine you get you order something has been packaged in fishcom and it rained a little bit while it was sitting on your porch and it's just covered in goop
Starting point is 00:39:12 no two people on twitter know what that mug is yeah wow it was that's where i saw it it was trending on twitter i think it was like salmon seaman or seamen was trending oh yeah i'm willing to roll the dice and click on that trend so that's it i just thought it was a bit it's quite podiotic, so I thought I'd bring it along. Thank you, Peter. Thank you, Peter. We're bringing along your cummy mug. Oh, dear. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Well, it's time for another question. Benji Harvey at Alphazer Pent-111 on Twitter says, who would you have as your dream partner for a crazy golf tournament, alive or dead, aloud? Oh, my God. Wow So would it just be You want to have a nice day with this person
Starting point is 00:40:07 Or you're playing to win Anyone you like dead or alive Yeah I guess this is the crazy golf dream of your dreams So you get to Dictate how it goes I would have Piers Morgan dead As my golf club
Starting point is 00:40:24 He's going to drag him from hole to hole Yeah Okay That's fair Can't argue with that Yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna go way back
Starting point is 00:40:41 I'm gonna say one of Yeah I'm gonna go for a Greek philosopher Let's just call Aristotle Because I just want to see what he'd make of crazy golf How far we've come Did they have golf back then Golf's a pretty old game I don't know if it's that old
Starting point is 00:40:56 Sure they're not No There's probably a similar game But no not golf golf golf Yeah, just think, look at the tiny windmill Aristotle, isn't that cute? Now, you know, what you've got to do is hit the ball through that hole. And if you do it, like, alarms go off. It's great fun.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Oh, yes. Yeah, I'd like to introduce him to some modern culture. You give him a hot dog and a Coke. I'm essentially describing back, not back to the future, Bill and Ted's excellent adventure. Yes, you are. You could give him tea and coffee served on a 200-year-old mosaic. Oh, man, I was going to say 200-year-old calligulars, who I was going to bring.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Oh, yeah. See what he thinks. He's not allowed. I just want to know why he's so angry Why are you such a time out, man? It's not being so cross. I don't know if there are any famous um,
Starting point is 00:41:43 what's the term? Minigolfers? I don't think there are. There's probably a scene, like a competitive mini golf scene, but I don't know what that is. What if I just took a, like a shit hot golfer?
Starting point is 00:42:00 Billy Madison. to see how good they are they can just complete all of them hole in one on every single hole that's what I want to see but they have to use the shit little rubbish easily bended already slightly bent when it's handed to you golf clubs
Starting point is 00:42:18 and the hollow golf balls and I'm going to make them mark down the score as well because no one wants to do that but that's that job boring oh god I always get stuck with that it sucks like everyone else is walking off to the next hall and I'm there like, guys, please, I'm still writing in the scores.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Put the numbers in. Oh, God, but I can't do maths. It sucks. The worst thing about mini golf is that there's always like people behind you watching you take your shots, you know, the family behind you. And then in front of you, there's stagged dude being loud. Oh, God. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Yeah, that happens every time. You never get to relax or have fun or enjoy it or actually try. It's like, all right, getting in the hall as quick as possible, so we don't disinvict it inconvenience these other people. You play two, you play the first two, holes uninterrupted and then you're just stuck behind the family for the entire rest of the time just waiting rubbish what i would give for a mini golf course all to myself just for the afternoon you know you just look it out for the entire time you're there yeah it sounds like a great
Starting point is 00:43:16 i i i just googled professional minigolf and then google um all a completed salary onto the end of that oh i found a definitely really legit really trustworthy website called simply It lists the average mini-golf pro salary as $61,000 US dollars. Wow, wow. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Hey, if you can make it, why not? You just need to get that practice in.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Yeah, you'd have to be really good. Yeah, maybe that's it, the pressure of having people behind you. It really helps you get on your game. So maybe method to the madness. Would you like to hear my thing? Yeah. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:59 The Nobel Prizes are a series of annual awards given in the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace. Recipients include Albert Einstein, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa. They're awarded to people who have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind in the previous 12 months. Receiving one is often a career-defining moment for many people. But today, we aren't talking about the Nobel Prize. We're instead talking about the Ig Nobel Prize, an annual ceremony that has taken place since 1991 to celebrate unusual or trivial achievements in scientific research.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Brilliant. It's stated aim being to honour achievements that first make people laugh and then make them think. Haven't we had this? I think you've done this in a previous year as well, haven't you, Mikey? Oh, fuck. Have I? No, no, it'll be different ones, won't it?
Starting point is 00:45:00 Have you done this year's the most recent? No, I've done the last 10 years. Oh, gosh. Weird. Have I actually done this before? I don't know. It sounds familiar. I'm sure maybe I've just heard it elsewhere, but, um...
Starting point is 00:45:12 Oh, no. I'll tell you if I recognize any of them. It's not in my document, so I'm just going to power on. None of this rang bells, and some of this would definitely ring bells if I talked about it. Okay. No, I must have heard it on a different podcast or something. I'm sorry. Sorry for the panic.
Starting point is 00:45:26 It's like, no, not a repeated thing. So, yeah, so essentially this is like, it's, it sounds ridiculous. Well, it doesn't sound that ridiculous so far. I will get more ridiculous. But this is kind of like the humorous side of the Ig Nobel Prize. But it's actually like super scientific. It's not just like a jockey award. This isn't just given to someone who's done something funny.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Like these are, these are awards given to people for the most part who have submitted scientific articles fully referenced and properly research. Like people have spent years research and this stuff. and submitted it, it's gone through journals, and these guys just happened to take note of it and thought, huh, that's pretty funny, let's give them something for their effort. So welcome to the world of weird and wacky science. Occasionally the awards criticism via satire,
Starting point is 00:46:11 but most often they draw attention to scientific articles to have some humorous or unexpected aspect. Examples range from the discovery that the presence of humans tends to sexually arouse ostrichers to the statement that black holes fulfill all technical requirements. for being the location of hell, or even to the research of the five-second rule. So, yeah, bear in mind, everything about the list has been researched to hell. Literally.
Starting point is 00:46:41 So, yeah, let me take you the last 10 years of awards. And I say that the first thing, the first thing, the first prize I'm reading out wasn't actually a scientific article. It's just something funny. So enjoy that. In 2011, the priest, the priest, oh, My God, Michael. The Peace Prize was awarded to Archerus, Ziochus, the mayor of Vilniu, I think that's how to pronounce, Lithuania, for demonstrating that the problem of illegally parked luxury cars can be solved by running them over with a tank.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Excellent. That's a sure-fying way of fixing it. I'm with him there. All must be equal before the law, and if they are not, they will be equaled. this is the message the mayor sent from an old armored vehicle after he smashed an expensive Mercedes that had parked illegally in a bicycle lane. And the mayor himself being an avid cyclist,
Starting point is 00:47:37 this was clearly to his disgust, and he wanted to eradicate this issue and send a message. There was a very good video. The proper little press event, they got him in his tank, rolled him over the car, and he just sat on top waving to everybody as he's doing it, as this car gets crushed, and he pops out of the vehicle at the end
Starting point is 00:47:54 and just look straight down the lens and says, and that's what will happen if you park your car illegally. And then at the end of the video, it shows the car owner returning to the scene, looking visibly distressed and confused at what just happened in front of him. It's like Mr. Bean. It is. And the car weirdly had like a little couch on top of it with a rope and pulley system for controlling it.
Starting point is 00:48:16 We move on to 2012. The Medicine Award was awarded to Emmanuel Ben Sussan. and Michelle Antoinetti for advising doctors who perform colonoscopies how to minimalize the chance that their patients will explode. Oh, God. I didn't realize this is a thing. It turns out in colonoscopies, there is like a very slim chance that you could essentially rupture.
Starting point is 00:48:42 And so this person researched quite a lot into this to help alleviate that from happening. The best I could find from this was, so this is a quote from the scientific backed published journal therapeutic colonoscopy with electrocourtery is widely used around the world adequate colonic cleansing is considered a crucial factor for the safety of the procedure colonic gas explosion although rare is one of the most frightening complications during colonoscopy with this method so congratulations to them they're really saving the world we jump forward to 2013 again the peace prize this time was awarded to alexander Lukashenko, you might be familiar with him, he was a bit of a tyrant, president of Belarus
Starting point is 00:49:27 for making it illegal to applaud in public, and it was also awarded to the Belarus state police for arresting a one-armed man for applauding. What? So, yeah, I think this comes from a couple of years ago, Belarus was in a terrible place, thanks to a totalitarian, awful, awful leader. And as a way of quelling public dissent, basically outlawed. all forms of protest, so no signs, no nothing. Eventually people took to applauding as a sign of like disagreement, which eventually got, which eventually got banned as well, so no one could
Starting point is 00:50:07 clap in anger. But Constantine Kaplan, an unemployed man from the western town of Grodno, says he was convicted this week of applauding in public and fined the equivalent of $200, despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence, as he is officially registered as a disabled person and has only one arm. And in this article, it stated, the police affirmed that he was indeed clapping at the event. Oh my God. Is this Lukashenko? Yes, Lukashenko. He's still in power, isn't he? Is he? I think so. Oh, God. Yeah, I don't think he's. Jesus, Christ. He's still not doing well, is it? I'm not sure. Oh, dear, he is. Is he? Yeah, yeah. Lukashenko's not a good guy. Whoops. I read this article from 2016. I just assumed things had got
Starting point is 00:50:49 time moves on he'll be dead right nope he's still there nope still there another one from 2018 this time is the safety engineering prize this was allotted awarded awarded to the late gustano pizzo loving pizzo for an inventing an electro-mechanical system to trap airplane hijackers oh the system drops a hijacker through trap doors, seals them into a package, and then drops the encapsulated hijacker through the airplanes, specially installed Bombay doors, whence the parachute, whence they parachute to
Starting point is 00:51:31 earth, where police will be awaiting to apprehend the hijacker. I'm assuming it doesn't just drop them wherever they are. She just immediately spits them out. Bye-bye, hi-bye hijacker. I guess, yeah, there's worse face. Oh, dear. But yeah, this was a, this was a patent that was filed. in November
Starting point is 00:51:50 1972 and sadly its genius was ignored and it was never implemented until it was dug up by the Ig Nobel Prize team and they thought
Starting point is 00:52:00 he deserves a prize for this I did look on the pattern for it and the little illustration of it sadly not as exciting as it possibly could have been but yeah just the picture of
Starting point is 00:52:11 a hijacker falling through a trap door off he goes bye bye quite an elegant solution I think So this is a short little one from 2015. The award for physiology was awarded to Michael L. Smith
Starting point is 00:52:26 for carefully arranging for honeybees to sting him repeatedly on 25 different locations on his body to learn which locations are the least painful. The least painful being the skull, middle toe tip and upper arm, and the most painful. This line is purely the reason why it got included. The nostril, the upper lip and the penis. shaft.
Starting point is 00:52:51 In the name of science, this man put bloody bees on his boner. I refuse to leave it. He didn't start with that and then get caught and so it's for science project and proceeded to sting the rest of the body. Look, look, how far are you willing to go
Starting point is 00:53:07 to cover up your fetish? No, I just want to fuck a bee. We move on to 2016. This is the award for reproduction, the late Ahmed Chafeeke, for testing the effects of wearing polyester, cotton
Starting point is 00:53:26 or wool trousers on the sex life of rats. What? And then he conducted these tests on human males as well. So essentially he made little tiny trousers for rats of different materials and made notes of how it would change
Starting point is 00:53:43 their sexual activity. So that it could then be I guess transferred to humans. Like if it affected fertility or something, maybe. Yes, essentially, yes. And they fucking loved the wool trousers. Do you want to hear the results? Yes, please.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Yeah. He made tiny trousers covering the animals hind legs and with a hole for the tail in various cloths. 100% polyester, 50% polyester cotton, all cotton and all wool. The rats that bore polyester showed significantly lower rates of sexual activity. and Shafiq found, perhaps because of the electrostatic charges created by the material, cotton, oh, that was, sorry, yeah, that was because of the electoral, oh, God, I bunked this sentence up, but yeah, they didn't, didn't fuck as much because of electrostatic of polyester,
Starting point is 00:54:33 but you'll be glad to know, cotton and wool wearing rats had relatively normal levels of sexual activity. Okay. Let's see, what's next? Oh, this is, all right, get ready, this is going to be a tongue twister for me. The 2020 award for management was awarded to five professional hitmen in Guangxi, China, who managed to contract for a hit job in the following way. After accepting payment to perform the murder,
Starting point is 00:54:59 Xi Guangan then instead subcontracted the task to Mo Tianjiang, who then instead subcontracted the task to Yang Kangsheng, who then instead subcontracted the task to Yang Guangxhen, who then instead subcontracted the task to Lingjiang. Jan Shee, with each subsequently enlisted hitman receiving a smaller percentage of the fee and nobody actually performing the murder.
Starting point is 00:55:25 It's quite an interesting one. There's a little bit of a write-up on this one. Instead, the final hitman in the chain decided to meet up with Mr. Weir, the target, in a cafe, told him of the proposed hit plans, and the two of them decided to fake the murder to take the money.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Mr. Weir agreed to pose, gagged and bound for a photo that Link could take back to Yian, Gang Wang Sheng before later reporting the case to the police. The case initially went to trial in 2016, but the six defendants were acquitted due to a lack of evidence, sadly. Prosecutors appealed against the decision and the second trial lasted three years. Tan, who hired the original hitman, was sentenced to five years in prison while Z.
Starting point is 00:56:04 She, the first hitman, was sentenced to three years and six months. It's quite impressive that they got that far along a change. That story sounds familiar to me as well. I think that might be a poddy. It's that, as I was reading it more, I was like, yeah, that sounds familiar. Yeah, that's great. I think it was, maybe when it was, when the trial, if the trial was three years, it might have been that it was on the news, like on BBC News or something.
Starting point is 00:56:27 Very true, yeah. I did one about a hit man, but it wasn't that. No, yeah. Again, I might have just read it elsewhere, but you never quite know whether it's Podiat's or not sometimes. Yeah, Bollett's or fiction. That's the next game. Not the Podgets. And lastly, 2021, sorry.
Starting point is 00:56:44 recent one, Peace Prize was awarded to a group of scientists who tested the hypothesis that humans evolved beards to protect themselves from punches to the face. Oh, wow. That's a cool hypothesis. What did they come up with? So given that humans are the only primates who fight by punching, which I actually, straight up, I disagree with that. Actually, I mean, I guess primates, but I've definitely seen animals punch each other before. That's ridiculous. Could there be other aspects of human anatomy that have evolved in connection with fisticuffs. That question is called the pugilism hypothesis, and Carrier has explored how different features unique to us among primates, as example, planted heels, proportions of facebones, ability to form a fist and upper arm
Starting point is 00:57:29 strength in males, specialise humans, particularly males, for fighting by punching. And so, the beard, which our study shows provides some protection to some of the most vulnerable parts of the face when people punch, is just one more piece of the series. carrier says. Who volunteered to be punched in the face? Sadly, they didn't punch any real people. They don't have, they don't have vindiction unlike Mr. Dick Scientist before were the bees. Mr. Bee fucker. The bee fucker over here. He couldn't even, they couldn't be beard punches than nothing.
Starting point is 00:58:04 I never really thought about the fact that we're the only primate that fights by punching, but now the sort of the idea of just seeing two guerrillas punchers. each other in the face seems laughable because obviously it doesn't happen but never really considered it before chimps like kicking each other absolutely sprawling enough if you absolutely
Starting point is 00:58:25 pengaroos do a little bit of that but it's mainly yeah they do yeah some animals do I guess just not primates but it's not on a level of us though big punches especially us three oh big big punches big brawlers yeah the researchers
Starting point is 00:58:41 for this covered a fiber epoxy composite material similar to bone with the sheep fleece and analogue of facial hair and then dropped different weights onto the samples and found that samples with fleece absorbed 37% more energy than hairless samples and could withstand
Starting point is 00:58:57 16% more force before breaking if you ever feel like you need to up your protection grow a great big bushy beer isn't it? Oh sort you out and that's that's my overview of the last 10 years of weird science. Well, none of those sounded familiar to me, Mikey, so, yes.
Starting point is 00:59:16 I apologize. Thank you, Michael. That's all right. Brilliant. I've got one last question here from Paul at Paul Zaremba 16 on Twitter, who says, What do you guys do or say that you think is hilarious, but no one else does? I was going to give an example, but I wrote out two of them, and as I read them back, I hated myself. Okay, love you, bye.
Starting point is 00:59:40 Thank you, Paul. I feel like there are many things that I say or do that I think are really funny that aren't but I'm trying to think of a good example I think off the top of the head the one thing I chose to adopt for some reason several years ago and now I can't stop myself is whenever like I'm meeting up with someone or I see someone I know in the streets
Starting point is 01:00:03 instead of just doing like a gentle little like hey it's you I do the most vigorous way of possible like just really exaggerated it from like across the way, just keep it going for quite a long time. And that's how I tend to greet a lot of people. And it's quite, yeah, it's quite embarrassing. And for some reason, I do it every time. It's just like, oh, God, I'm doing it again. I did it enough times that it just became muscle memory.
Starting point is 01:00:25 And it's nightmares. I wish I could stop. Please. I've got sort of a dadism, a dad joke that I think I got from my actual father. That I say every time, I will say this forever now. I've been saying it for years. and I will say it for the rest of my life. If ever I walk into a restaurant or something,
Starting point is 01:00:46 maybe I'm with Amy or with my family, if it's pretty quiet and there are loads of empty tables, I always turn to the family and go, I'm glad we booked. That's it. Oh, good job we booked a table. I'm so tired now. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 01:01:04 And I know it's not funny, but I say, you know, you walk into an empty restaurant and go, oh, good job we booked. Like jokes like that account like a tax you have to pay, isn't it? It's like someone's got to do it. You've got to say something, haven't you? Otherwise it's just, wow, there aren't many people in this restaurant. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:22 I instinctively kneejerk cannot not say, my wife, when someone says anything about their wife every time. It was ironic at first because Borat is an old film at this point. And the joke is way overdone. And it started off not being funny, but I. sincerely think that it's actually quite funny when you say my wife. Because it's not funny, and that's why it's funny. But I'm sure a lot of people don't see it that way at all. We have weirdly, Ben and I and Ashton as well at Triple Jump, in the past, I mean, even
Starting point is 01:01:55 just like in the past six months, really picked up on something that we've known about for years, which is a child, you know, there's only one thing worse than a rapist. Like, certainly Ben and I, and I'm sure Ashton as well, we've known about that. video for several years now. We didn't use to quote it at all unless it was really specifically relevant. If someone maybe said there's only one thing worse than being caught out in the rain, maybe then we might have gone, oh, a child. That's more of a clever throwback. But if anyone says the word a child at the moment when we're making videos, and I'm sort of, even though I'm completely, I'm very much part of it, I'm hoping it stops
Starting point is 01:02:36 eventually but if we're ever making any content and one of us says oh look there's a child then all three of us will go a child a child like that can't not yeah it can't not be done
Starting point is 01:02:49 I'm glad it stuck around to end the lexicon some things just need like a more of a push and stick around for a while then they just eke in my wife's child oh fantastic well is that all our questions that's it
Starting point is 01:03:04 fantastic thank you for bringing those Peter welcome. Thanks for answering them. For submitting them, much appreciated. We've got, well, I was going to say we've got quite a few videos to catch up on in terms of what was released on videos three years ago because we're recording a week later than usual. We missed our release week because we're all busy. So we've got three weeks worth of videos to cover before the next episode, which will be our Christmas episode and the last episode of the year, after which we'll be taking a little break and we'll be back in the, you know, at some point in early January. But, as we all know, Vidiots was changing.
Starting point is 01:03:40 And so there aren't quite as many videos as we thought. So I'm going to go from the 1st of December all the way through. So we get to watch the slow end to Vidiots in real time now. We're just going to watch it die. We're going to go from the 1st of December all the way through to when the next episode is due out, which is the 21st of December. So we've got 20 days worth of Vidiots videos to go through. and there are three
Starting point is 01:04:06 there are not many here we go we've got Fallout 76 power armour edition unboxing we had a phenomenal contact Sean
Starting point is 01:04:17 a Bethesda who was very kind to us and sent us lots of nice stuff he was a fan of the channel and that was wonderful it comes with the helmet it didn't come with the nylon famous nylon bag
Starting point is 01:04:28 sadly that was a shame but it was very sweet to receive that and we opened it And I'm looking at the dislikes. It's on 88.7% likes, which is quite low for us. So clearly people did not like the fact that we were opening a Fallout 76 special edition and not hating it.
Starting point is 01:04:48 Because I think it was very popular to hate it at that time. Understandably, it was a lot wrong. At Pottie, it's episode 23, the terragraph. Peter's giving birth to rabbits. Ben's sausage was stolen while he was bedridden, and Mikey's making cereal fights to the death. cute there's an unlisted video here what was your stolen sausage i don't know yeah that one's a stumper i don't know what that means i presume it's i don't know what the telegraph is either
Starting point is 01:05:16 i think it was in reference to you know whenever you go uh to like a w8 smith at a train station or an airport and you just want water and they're like you want to copy the telegraph with that for free for some reason it always comes free with a bottle of water and it's like i actually don't want a newspaper. Why would I want that right now? I just want some water. Anyway. So the fear that they're going to do that to you is that you have a sense of
Starting point is 01:05:43 terra-graph. Peter, I'm sure it was really fucking funny three years ago. And so you can go listen to that if you want. I can't remember. That's the vague gist. We've got an unlisted video with 10 views. Merry Christmas, Johnny. So I hope you enjoy that.
Starting point is 01:05:59 Merry Christmas, Johnny. Worst games ever. Zena Warrior Prince. December the 8th that one Oh yeah Poddiots episode 24 Merry Chrysler Worst games ever Spice World
Starting point is 01:06:12 That's right We had worst games ever Podiots and then worst games ever Wow yeah That was like two videos a week at that point Yeah it was one Who were doing one worst games a week weren't we yeah
Starting point is 01:06:24 Anything to save the channel 21st is where we're going up to We're still not quite there yet actually Potty it's episode 25 What we're doing like day to day What were we just not I wasn't in Bristol anymore. I'd moved. Oh, I think at that point, yeah, things had just wound down.
Starting point is 01:06:38 We had recorded a bank of videos and we were just editing them at our own respective homes. Yeah, we came down for the jingle jam and then we left forever. I'd already moved out. I moved out at the end of November there, so I was gone. Spice World, Polly gets episode 25, clumpy grid. Post some tat number 39 finale. Oh. Five hours and four minutes and 32 seconds. It's insane.
Starting point is 01:07:07 And that is where it brings us up to, I suppose, next episode, we'll just, we might as well just cover it all the way through to the end of the year. And then we'll pick it back up in February's episode when the channel launched. And then we have stuff back back. Yeah, really exciting and full of enthusiasm. Yeah, God. Yeah, guys, sad, sad videos next time. I can see there's two episodes of worst games ever
Starting point is 01:07:34 just next to each other on the back end so that was it Santa Claus saves the earth Actually they were released two days apart So lucky you Wow You're welcome The Santa one was released on Christmas Day as well wasn't it
Starting point is 01:07:49 It actually was Well there we are That is the penultimate What happened on Vidiates three years ago Until we start again next year When it will be what happened on Vidiates Four years ago So I hope you're ready for that
Starting point is 01:08:01 Oh, that makes me feel sick to hear that. Yeah, doesn't it, doesn't it? Mikey, there's a store, I think. Store, I mean, so I'm going right into it. I'm not even, I'm not a store. That's right, Ben. If you whizz on over to store.orgscast.com, you'll find a lovely array of, oh, just merch of all kinds.
Starting point is 01:08:23 There's gin. There's Christmas decorations. There's pins. But if you, if you dig a little bit, you'll find, actually, I think, yeah, if, For some reason, we're on the home screen of the website and have been for fucking ages. Why? Don't tell anyone. They don't know we're there. If you hunt around on that website, you'll find a little vidi its corner filled with goodies and treats so you can stuff your stockings with.
Starting point is 01:08:47 We've got t-shirts, mugs and hoodie galore. What a bounty you could stuff your pockets with. And you're stuck with paying full price because the codes don't exist on the website anymore. If you want a discount, you have to keep your eyes peeled on the Yogscast Twitter, where I think occasionally do like free international shipping, which is a bloody good bargain, jump on that if you see it, amongst other things.
