Starting point is 00:00:00 Imagine if women could get bonus. Oh my God. Okay, hello everybody. Welcome to, where are we? Welcome to Should I Delete that? It's Thursday. It's a Thursday episode. It's as soon as it just me.
Starting point is 00:00:16 It is. Hi. Hello, sorry. Can't stop. Can't chat. Got to say something horrifying. I saw a meme the other day that it was like, imagine if your teeth were flaccid all the time
Starting point is 00:00:23 and only got erect like when you were hungry. That's horrifying. Imagine they were all flaccid and then bam, I'm hard because you're hungry. That's giving me acid reflux. That's really horrible. Isn't that so good? Imagine just like...
Starting point is 00:00:35 That's sinister. Really sinister. Yeah, puppy like, I imagine like little tentacles until... Do you know for like a lot of my life? I have like... I have been very grateful for the fact that I don't have a penis, right? Because I feel like I would be that person, that man that overthinks it all the time and just constantly gets erections just because I shouldn't.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Do you know what I mean? I know that I would say like You can't get one right now So I would get one I'd be constantly walking around with one I know it I know it I'm such a sex pest
Starting point is 00:01:09 Yeah Yeah because I like sometimes No because I know a guy Who He is in his girlfriend's old car Every time And I don't know why I wish I didn't know this But every I know this guy really well
Starting point is 00:01:21 It's not Alex But every time It's Dave And you'll know it's not You know it's not Dave because of the next bit of the story every time she was driving in her old car
Starting point is 00:01:32 whenever she went into second gear he would get an erection because he liked the vibrations and he gets them during takeoff on planes stop it you know this guy too it could only be one of the guys
Starting point is 00:01:43 that wait so not third gear fourth gear fifth gear first gear sixth gear just second gear I think it's like the little judder of the clutch or something I don't know
Starting point is 00:01:50 he gets a full erection yeah the car's gone now they got a new car a full boner like a little semi I don't know when I saw it, but he always, probably said, I don't know, he just said it was gone and going. And on a plane as well.
Starting point is 00:02:02 That stresses me out of the men just might be aroused rather just walking around. Yeah, that stresses me out, actually. But then imagine how stressful it is for them. That's what I've always thought about my whole life. Yeah. Like, how stressful? Yeah, because it's like, okay, well, it's like,
Starting point is 00:02:16 okay, like, you know, in a sexual situation, it's a good thing. But, like, imagine, like, you just, your zip goes against your willy or whatever, and you're like, woo! And then it's like, fuck. It's like when you tell yourself, don't look at something, don't look at something, and you're physically incapable of not looking at something. That's just how I imagine it to be. All the time.
Starting point is 00:02:34 All the time. Yeah, it's a burden. I'm doing a presentation. I'm standing up in front of everyone. Don't get an erection. I'd get an erection. Imagine you as like a prime minister. Do you think it works like that though?
Starting point is 00:02:46 Do you think you can think yourself and you can like discourage yourself into an erection? You know who we should ask? We've done this before. Yes. I'll take a man. Would you like to ask him the question? Yes, please. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Hi, babe. We're on air covering hard-hitting journalistic stories. Nice pun. Hard-hitting. Hard-hitting. Hard-hitting journalists at work. And we have a question for you. Hi, Alex.
Starting point is 00:03:14 What I'd like to know is I've always been concerned. No, I've always been very grateful I didn't have a penis because I feel like if I did have one, I would give myself erections at times when I shouldn't. have an erection just because I shouldn't, you know, you know, you overthink yourself into something. So I wonder, is that a thing? You know, if you're doing a presentation, you're standing up in front of loads of people and you're like, now would be the worst time for me to get an erection? Like, can that just happen then? Is it just like, I'm just going to, your mind's
Starting point is 00:03:43 like, I'm just going to fuck you over and give you on. Thank you so much. Goodbye. Looking forward to your answer. While we wait on that, I saw, I saw something else on TikTok that was somebody had miss understood what the word nonce meant and they had thought it meant like dunce like oh I'm just such a silly little dunt and they put as their bio on hinge oh my god I'm just a noncy sometimes or I'm just a nonce or something oh no I'm dying and then then people were replying to them it was Jack Remington shared it on his page and then people were replying to that being like oh God, I did this, like a couple of, like, uploaded a photo once onto their Facebook,
Starting point is 00:04:29 been like a couple of nonces in Hyder. Oh, my God. Isn't it so good? You die. Was it a man or woman on Hinge? I think it was a woman, I think it was a woman, but then I think other men have done it. I think Cassia didn't know the nonce meant sex pervert. I didn't until like a year ago when we're watching a program.
Starting point is 00:04:52 He's really, yeah. He's really made the. made the term mainstream. Yeah. That's what happens when you have a royal nonce. The language becomes parlance amongst the common folk. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Don't refer to yourself. Do you want to fun fact? As noncy. We are so informative in this podcast. No, I actually have something genuinely informative that I don't even have to fact myself on fact check myself because I just know it's true. I'm not convinced, but go on.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Honestly. So you know that women, when you give birth, it is actually incredibly unnatural. Oh, Alex is recording an audio. Yes. Okay. Let me tell my family. It's very unnatural for you, for women, to give birth on their backs.
Starting point is 00:05:29 It doesn't make sense biologically. You should, well, you can do whatever's comfortable, but be stood or be bent over. That's like the main thing, like a cow, like bent, yeah, on all fours, right? That is the, that is apparently the favoured birthing thing. Okay. But Louis, the fifth or sick, this you can fact check, apparently had a kink for watching women give birth. So he used to go to like brothels or whatever it was in France and have they put a curtain down
Starting point is 00:06:00 just with the women with their legs open giving birth. So he would watch it. And that was obviously the best way of putting on the show as if they were laying on the back like so barbaric. Oh my God. And because it was something that royals did, people sort of seeped into like, well, if that royals doing it
Starting point is 00:06:19 and if this is what the king likes, this is what we should be doing. And that is why still to this stage, day, you'll see birth depicted, like women lying on the backs to give birth. Seriously? Yes. I heard that and then I saw a video that backed it up and then I googled it. That is really niche though because you've got like pregnancy takes a long time.
Starting point is 00:06:41 It's not something that you can just whip up for Louis the fifth or six to... No, but I'm sure they could round up a pregnant person. Oh, I see. Did they have to ring him being like, it's happening now, sir? Get it up. I'm just forcing many, many problems with this. It sounds like a logistical nightmare. I've written King Louise.
Starting point is 00:06:58 I don't know how to spell Louie. I'm confused. It does. King Louis, women, birth, on back. I didn't know that women... Louis the... Oh, I hate it when it's the X1V. Louis the 4th?
Starting point is 00:07:15 Louis the 14th. No. Yeah. X is 10. Yeah. He had a long-lasting impact. Whoever he was. Louis the something had a
Starting point is 00:07:24 Louis the X1V XIV, XIV anyway, had a long lasting impact on childbirth instigating years of belief that women should give birth lying on a table with their legs and stirrups
Starting point is 00:07:34 this came about after he commanded the construction of a viewing table so that he could have a better view of the birth of one of his mistress's children so it's his mistress but it was creepy
Starting point is 00:07:43 he liked yeah I mean I think I said the word kink I'm not sure that back then they described it as a kink oh my gosh enjoyed it but yeah isn't that a fun fact
Starting point is 00:07:52 So most women give birth lying down and that's nothing to do with biology or medicine. In fact, the real reason is a little creepy it's to do with one man's very weird fetish. That's mad. Yeah. Back in the 17th century, King Louis, no one's written it down of France
Starting point is 00:08:06 was obsessed for seeing his children being born, okay, only his children. Prior to this time, the record's history of birthing indicates upright posture were used extensively Professor Lauren Dunn's rights in the American Journal of Public Health. There was nothing wrong with it, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:08:20 But he wanted a good view of the action of his wives and his mistresses so he made them he looks like a fucking nunce as well I'll tell you what he's wearing red tights with red trousers with little
Starting point is 00:08:32 I wouldn't even know what you'd call these kind of shoes but they like noncy oh say no more they're like what'd you call
Starting point is 00:08:41 yeah you just look at this guy and you just know he's into some weird shit and that's not to kinkshame but quite honestly what a horrible legacy like one man's fetish has caused how much pain
Starting point is 00:08:51 So actually, yeah, I am going to, this is the one kink shame I will allow myself. Yes, I'm shaming him too. Louis, X1V, bad. Pinkle wicker. Winkle pickers. No. Pickle winkers. What are they?
Starting point is 00:09:06 Those shoes. I kind of know what you mean. Pinkle wickers. Winkle pickers. It's a winkle, winkle picker. That sounds like someone that's going to go and pick a winkle, you know what I mean. Winkle picker? Yeah, pick a winkle.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Yeah, winkle pick a winkle. I was wearing people wickers, but like old-school one for the buckle. Okay, Alex has replied. Oh, God. I don't want to know if I want everyone to know the answer to this. Hello, hard-hitting journalists. I hope you're all well. Your resident penis for the podcast is here.
Starting point is 00:09:38 So, no. No, it just doesn't happen. I guess it's probably the same as women when they're turned on. No, no. I don't know. No, you don't know. No, you don't know. But yeah, thanks for asking.
Starting point is 00:09:52 And thanks for including me. I feel so welcome. So no, it's not possible. Well, the thing is, and we should have checked that we should have thought about this, Alex doesn't overthink anything. It's just not in his nature. I ask him if he's worried about stuff
Starting point is 00:10:03 and he just says no, all the time. Dave's the same. Like, he said he was worried about something the day and I damn near crashed the car. I was like, you're worried about what? And then he got over it really fast. So I don't know. Also, what does he mean say as women getting turned on?
Starting point is 00:10:16 Yeah, what are you think he was gushing onto the floor, baby? We're going to have to have a lesson when we go. at home. Good luck. Waterfalling. Fucking Niagara falls up on the stage, but she thought about Toto Wolf again. No, he needs to learn.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Do men overthink themselves into erections? It's going to come back and say yes. I think we just asked the wrong penis. No, this is all like performance anxiety and erectile dysfunction. You think you'd have the opposite. You are a bit of an overachiever. I always have an erection. I'm so good at erections.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Look at me. That's like a flagpole. I've got perma erection. Okay. There you go. I saw a man the other day walking down the street and he wasn't wearing any boxes underneath this trachsy at what am. That is disgusting.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Put some pants on. But then is it? Is it disgusting? No, probably not. Well, because women aren't wearing bras. So we've got a little nips back. Mind you, they've got their, no, no, no, actually, sorry. Because they've got their nipples out too.
Starting point is 00:11:17 We do not. Exactly. Have a flat out. No, that's the same thing I suppose it's like us having on on purpose cameltoe But then is the cameltoe a bad thing Or is it maybe I'm just shaming men Maybe I think we probably are
Starting point is 00:11:31 Because do we have the right to have our camel toes out Yeah Do we? Yeah Is it not indecent? I think it depends like if it's I don't know See if it's indecent for a woman to have a cameltoe Then it's indecent for a man to have a
Starting point is 00:11:46 Definitely A wobbly penis Wobling at you I think there's an added dimension with it because it's threatening. It's threatening. That's the thing. That's the crux, I think. If you've just, you know, you just rolled out of bed and you're just, you're like,
Starting point is 00:11:59 woo, it's going to pop down the stairs. But if it's like, I'm doing this because I want to make people around me feel uncomfortable. Yeah. And the willy has the power that the VADS doesn't really have in that sense. It's got like the threatening element. It is threatening. And it's less threatening when it's just sort of like bouncing around in there. You know, just ding, ding.
Starting point is 00:12:20 But it's still got the potential. It's like looking at like, it's like when I look at a wasp, because I'm allergic to wasps and I look at you and I just think pretty small and harmless. But on the wrong day, the wrong penis.
Starting point is 00:12:35 But I thought it was really uncomfortable for men to not wear boxes and like walk about. They need something to keep it in place otherwise it's just like flopping everywhere. I don't think it's the wheelie that's uncons. I think it's just the balls. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:46 I like to talk to me sometimes about like as if they're like the biggest burden. It's like you've got no idea. and you're like accidentally sit on a ball and I'm like, uh-huh, the last time I lay on my stomach with any comfort was 2004, so, but I don't know, bro. Sucks for you. Yeah, literally.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Oh, I didn't know that they could sit on one by accident. I think you can. But I think it's a very unlikely problem, so it's like when it does happen, it's a big shock. But I always imagine, aren't me lucky? Isn't he lucky that they didn't pop? Because I just imagine the big old weight of one person plumping down on something so.
Starting point is 00:13:20 You know what I mean? Like, I've watched kids too big sit on kids' chairs for smaller kids and break the chair. So I just think, like, what's to say that a big man's not going to break his little balls? A ball's full of semen. Is that right? Yeah. That's disgusting, isn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Again, I'm probably shaming. But, like, ew. Basically, it's just like a big spot. It is a big spot. Two big spots that sit together. in one happy sack. Oh, gosh. Or is it two sacks?
Starting point is 00:13:53 It's sort of just a connected sack, isn't it? Connected scroat. Scrutum. I find Willie's fascinating. This is such a good anatomy lesson. What did you think they were full of, if not sperm? I don't think I've ever considered it. And it's just occurred to me that, like, that sperm in there.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Yeah. Yeah, they're like... The poor man who's our sound engineer today, honestly, Like, he's, I don't know, I'd be sitting there thinking, like, these fucking girls, get out of my studio. Do you want to be the resident penis for the episode? No, it's just probably sexual harassment. We don't want to. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Don't answer that. We're sorry. Take it back. Oh, God, I just open my phone and it's back. We're back on to Louie and his pinkle wickers. Right. Okay. We've had, and is it just me from somebody who seems to overthink at my level, which I appreciate.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Yeah. Hello. yeah hi ladies love the pod thanks for making me laugh out loud during my commute and brightening my day whilst also help me learn more about myself in the world well today you've learned an awful lot uh is it just me who feels terribly torn when deciding whether to offer my seat to someone when i'm on public transport this might be my anxiety talking but i just worry i might offend a person by suggesting they look old by offering them a seat then there's the weirdness about getting their attention mimicking standing and sitting and bothering any other passengers when moving
Starting point is 00:15:15 I find the whole thing very anxiety-inducing and I wish they were a better system for it. Anyone else feel the same? Yes. Someone offered my mum a seat like five years ago and she never got, she didn't get over it. Did she not? No, she was really upset by it.
Starting point is 00:15:30 She thought that signalled her getting old, you know. But she is getting old. I know, but that just, it hurt. Okay. So my brother offered a seat, his seat when he was like seven because my mum always taught us that children should stand up on the bus and then we should give a seat, so it's way,
Starting point is 00:15:44 And he offered his seat up to an older woman and she was like, how bad it? And he was like seven and he burst into two because she was like, how rude? Like, how old do you think I am? And like, it honestly scarred him. He still does it, but very timidly now. That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:15:59 It can be triggering people's touching. Okay, so I actually, you know what? Funnily enough, my mum and I were talking about this the other day because I have recently been pregnant and now I am operating London's transport network with a buggy. And I was really surprised by how few Londoners help me with a buggy. But I shouldn't have been surprised because when I was pregnant,
Starting point is 00:16:23 literally, you could always predict it, right? You get on the train. Yeah. And I was very visibly pregnant. I didn't wear a badge before because I just, I don't know, I just didn't want to. I was hiding my pregnancy for so long. And then I didn't want to bomb in someone that followed me on Instagram or whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Anyway, just weird. Just be like, why are you wearing a badge? Anyway, so I didn't wear a badge. And then I was obviously very visibly pregnant. and the only times when I got on the train, older women would always say, do you, and this still happens all the time, do you want me to ask him to give his seat up to you?
Starting point is 00:16:56 Really? Honestly, I must have heard that 10 times from women when I was pregnant. Really? Like older women, like gently asking me if they wanted, if I wanted them to like fight my corner for me. Right. And I genuinely believe this. I don't think it's men thinking they deserve,
Starting point is 00:17:13 bit more. I just think they do not think to check. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or think to look up. Do you think there's an element of them being scared as well of offending someone? Like if you're not wearing a badge, they don't want to assume that I'm... Assume that I mean, that was pretty obvious by the end there. Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, it was. But I just like, I don't know, I would rather be offered one. Like, I'm not going to take offense. Like, you know what I mean? I just, I would just say no. Yeah. Oh, thanks so much. I'm the only guy that offered me his seat, the entire pregnancy, and we would were in London a lot, you know, I live in London, the only person that offered me a seat,
Starting point is 00:17:46 the only man that offered me a seat was maybe a schoolboy of 15 or 16. Really? Yeah, the whole time. That's it. That's it. That is so crazy. Yeah. And then the other day, no, no one helped me with a buggy coming in. That's so bad. No, that's not true. On the way back from Waterloo Station, I had one man, he actually didn't say anything. He just picked up the other end of it and carried upstairs. I was like, thank you. As a Londoner should. Silently. I am surprised by that. Yeah, one American guy offered, but he was at the Boston, we were at Waterloo, not on the train anymore, just in and around the capital.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Yeah. And he was like, gee, do you want a hand? And I was like, you are so nice. I can tell you're not from here. But I'm okay, thanks. I'm really surprised by that. That's bad. I don't know. So, I'm team like just off of the seat. Like, and if anyone takes offence, honestly, that's, you're clearly holding a mirror up to their, like, they're not okay with their being old.
Starting point is 00:18:34 And that's on them. I know, but I don't want to ruin someone's day. Well, but giving them a seat. It does though It can be really quite crushing But I think people then need to sit with themselves And work out why they're so crushed Because getting older is a blessing
Starting point is 00:18:48 But they don't understand that They don't have someone to talk to that through with them It's good, it's good, confront your feelings And you can do it from the comfort of a seat How nice I'm not convinced I do it if I can I do it if I
Starting point is 00:19:02 Pregnant is a If they're wearing a badge great I much prefer when they're wearing a badge because then I know for sure. Yeah. So that's easy. Or if they've got a visible bump and I'm like 100% sure
Starting point is 00:19:13 that it's a pregnancy bump. And then if someone's struggling or they're like old enough that I can... What's your criteria? Probably in their 70s, I'd say. Like deep into their 70s. Even then, like I just feel bad doing it.
Starting point is 00:19:27 They've got to be on a Zimmer frame or in... What if it called when they die? A coffin. Coughing. Then... And only then will I offer you my seat When you have freed yourself of this portal coil
Starting point is 00:19:45 By all means, take my seat And don't you take any offence either Because Coughing I think you're older than Yeah, at this point I'd say you've heard it No, I think
Starting point is 00:20:06 You know what The latter half of that message has been incredibly relatable to me. I won't ever sit down so that I don't have to give my seat up. The idea of giving my seat up feels me with so much anxiety, not necessarily because of choosing who to give it to. I feel like that's the power I can handle. But it's more that she's right. It's the like, oh, sorry, and then trying to catch the right,
Starting point is 00:20:29 mortifying, because then everyone else watches you trying to catch the right and you haven't caught it. Killer. And then you're going to stand up. Yeah. And if you're on the bus or like your face. single, you know, like, oh, no. So I just don't sit down just to avoid that.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Even when I've got the baby now, I still don't sit down. I just refuse to sit down in the end seats. The priority ones? Yeah, they scare me. Yeah, well. Yeah, well, because you're not a priority. No. You're not a coffin or an urn or a very heavily obviously pregnant.
Starting point is 00:20:54 You're not someone in labour. You're not lying on your back. No. Baby coming out your bad. With Louis X1V watching you. Oh. Yeah, imagine. Fucking weird.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Yeah, fucking weird. Fucking weird That's disturbed me I don't think about that No they're giving up I'm just team just do it Either just stand up yourself If it's going to cause you that much pain
Starting point is 00:21:17 Just stay standing That's what I do That's the thing If you are worried about it You can just stand up And like not explicitly offer than the seat But just go and stand in the corridor Corridor
Starting point is 00:21:29 I think just don't engage with the seats At all pretend there are no seats Just no seats And then you don't have to handle this Yeah If in doubt, sometimes it's nice to have a seat, especially you've got a long journey. Yeah, it's nice, sure, but at what cost? You're like, yeah, your ass is comfortable, but the rest of you is an absolute turmoil.
Starting point is 00:21:49 So I don't know. I hear you. You know what? I'm just going to say, we haven't really talked about like the strikes or the trains or the fact that the country seems to be an absolute hot mess right now. But I'm very alarmed by the state of the trains. Yeah. And like, it's £300.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Georgia went to Newcastle last weekend. And it was the £300 £300 ticket No way £300 £300 £100 £0 to Newcastle and back That is so expensive Isn't that crazy That's like a flight to Greece
Starting point is 00:22:16 Yeah Isn't it I think because I drive And I don't really go anywhere That isn't my mum's house And the trains currently aren't running there Like literally There are no trains
Starting point is 00:22:23 For my mum lives right now So I have to drive So like I'm just I'm not a massive trainer Like I get the I get the like three stops Into London from my house But otherwise I don't get on any other line
Starting point is 00:22:34 So I'm sort of unaware of it. We used to pay £50 to Liverpool from London. That was like the flat rate. Yeah, I remember with my rail card when I used to come home, like from London or whatever, going to London and it'd be like I could go £20 return on my rail card. Whereas now it's like $120. That is so expensive.
Starting point is 00:22:53 It's so expensive. It's bonkers. Yeah, it's mad. Like, I don't understand it. But they don't want people to drive everywhere. The train has to become more accessible. Yeah. But then even I remember going up to Edinburgh
Starting point is 00:23:03 when I went to go run the marathon there and I was going up to run the marathon and I didn't get a seat I'd paid for a seat or I had paid to sit down and I had to sit I had to stand the whole way up to Edinburgh Why was someone in your seat?
Starting point is 00:23:14 It was just so busy like it was just so, yeah I guess someone was in my seat but it was just like so overly packed and everyone's standing in the corridors everyone was just standing in the corridor so I didn't even have it like
Starting point is 00:23:24 in me to go and like I had my bags and stuff so I was like okay so I just stood and I remember saying as a train person I was like I don't want to be a dick but I thought I run a marathon and he was like oh so does everyone else
Starting point is 00:23:33 So it's just like, yeah, brill. But like that's coconuts. That is super, super, super expensive. Oh, also, I've stood corrected. You know a few weeks ago I said that there's no baby changing on planes. Oh, yeah. There is baby changing. Some planes, not all planes, but I did get some DMs being like,
Starting point is 00:23:49 I really hope you didn't have to change your baby on the floor because baby changing is an option. Is it? Where? Apparently just comes down from the wall. In the toilet? Apparently so. But it does not, you know what, that is not the pat on the back for airlines
Starting point is 00:24:01 because it's still not accessible for. to say all people will say. No, and I bet Ryanair doesn't have baby changing. Yeah, they do if you want to pay another £25, probably. Their Twitter manager, social media manager, is outrageous. Have you seen, like, the best Ryanair burns? They're just very witty, some of them quite outrageous. But they have hired someone sparkling for that job, for sure.
Starting point is 00:24:25 That's fun. Yeah, you should see. It's amazing how like a mismanaged company, like a company that's like so wrong. Yeah. You can win the harsson. I know. We're very easily... Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Very easily can do it. Fickle as fuck. Yeah, look at everybody giving birds on their backs because one king liked it. Yeah. Get a grip. Get a grip. Guys. Yeah, it was one bad thing.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Talk about follow the leader. I mean, that is you all over. 100%. I'm the ultimate sheep. You are. Proud of it. Not really. I'd love to be a leader.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Anyway. Would you? No, no. I would not love to be a leader. Couldn't be a leader. In the olden days. Actually, you know what I was saying as Toilocks the other day. In the olden days, I would just, I would choose death immediately.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Imagine living in the medieval times. Yeah. No, absolutely not. Imagine the mud everywhere. I couldn't cope with any of it. Imagine being a soldier in medieval times with a spear and you just have to like walk through mud with like pickle wickers, whatever they're called. I don't know, probably middle of me and medieval didn't get pickle wickers.
Starting point is 00:25:27 So they just had to wear like nothing. And then just walk places. in the cold, and they didn't have any heating. Oh my God, they didn't have any heating. We don't know we're born. They didn't have any windows, no glass. Oh my God. And then they just lived like with like...
Starting point is 00:25:43 But don't you think, like, isn't it incredible how resourceful humans are? What we've made at all? Yeah. Like, well, they will have managed to make heat and electricity and light and stuff. Did not like. Electricity and life. In medieval times? No, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Not by then. No. When did light get invented? Wait. Thomas Edison, Epherson, Jefferson, Jefferson, Edison, Edison. Ooh, who made electricity? When was light? Invented and by who?
Starting point is 00:26:16 It's going to say God, isn't it? Thomas Edison. Well done. Guess the date. Thomas fucking Edison. I bloody knew it. Right, okay, let's think about this, because the Tudors had candles, no doubt.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Right. No, okay. Okay. Actually, no, logically, couldn't have made light without electricity. So they had electricity first. It will have been the 18th century, but at what point? I need an exact year. I know. You're going to get one. I'm just trying to think up when downtown Abbey-ed, okay? Right. So in World War I, they were pretty cool. They were lanterned. Pirates of the Caribbean, light. So somewhere between World War War and Pirates of the Caribbean, there was light. Now let me just think a little closer. Okay, I'm going to say tail end of the 1800s. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:12 1876 rings a bell. You are so close. Like, unbelievably close. I can't believe it. To 1875? 1879. Oh, God, I was so close. So close.
Starting point is 00:27:22 It's a sort of fun tip bit that I'm vaguely aware of, obviously not totally. How did, I wouldn't, I wouldn't have even got in the right century. Yeah, because then... I think it was Thomas that made the phone as well. Thomas Bell?
Starting point is 00:27:35 Was it? He made the phone? Something Bell. Alexander Bell. Alexander Bell. It wasn't Thomas. It was Alexander Bell. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Alexander Bell. Yeah. Yep. So who made electricity then? Electricity. Who invented? Electricity. Electricity.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Don't tell me. Don't tell me. Don't tell me. Is it dubious? And then multiple answers? Yeah. Yeah, I think everyone's going to claim a bit. It's like the internet.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Everyone's got a bit of a say on that, haven't they? Benjamin Franklin had a good go. Yeah, I think he's the famous one. But then there was your man as well that they honoured in the beginning of the Olympics in 2012. Who was the other guy? William Greener, Henry Layland, Schula, Wheeler, Ebenezer Kinnesley. That sounds like a lady. Benjamin Franklin, Michael Faraday.
Starting point is 00:28:27 I think it was the first one that you said. There's a lot of people. Yeah No one want a bit of that pie God they're all greedy aren't they Well that was fun I actually learned a lot of that
Starting point is 00:28:38 I wouldn't have hoped Living See this is I'm quite good for a pop quiz When I'm not completely wrong Yeah I bet you are actually When I'm not completely wrong Catshy's better
Starting point is 00:28:49 But don't tell her Do you think I'm good at pub quizzes No No terrible Terrible Don't offer anything No No nothing actually
Starting point is 00:28:57 I'm going to redeem myself I'm actually I can do, I could have a go at that part. We could go to a French pop quiz. I'd like that. I don't know, any French trivia. I quite like that. But I wouldn't have thrived in the olden days.
Starting point is 00:29:09 I just think I'd have let death take me pretty quickly. Like I was walking up in Muddy Hill with Alex the day and I was like, you know what? Just leave me. If this is as good as it gets, or if I go to do this every day, just leave me here. Yeah, I know, I'm with you. Like just, yeah, I'll just be eaten. I don't really, I don't really, anything can have the go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Imagine I'm to kill your own food. Oh, God. They'd just be so shit. Imagine getting home from a long stay's work and you've got to sit on the floor and it's all muddy. But I think they just did it, didn't they? Like, we are pussies now.
Starting point is 00:29:40 And they all died very young as well. So you haven't got to endure it for that long. Yeah, that's true. You're dead at like 30. But they say that like our lack of labour, like we do so much less labour now because of the invention of machines. We do so much less labour than we used to
Starting point is 00:29:55 and actually it's not good for our mental health. like humans should work, physically work, butchering this actually. No, that makes sense. I think so, that it's, and yeah, and phones are fucking us up as well. Oh, I can believe that. I'm spending way too long on my phone. Thanks everyone for joining us for IIJ. It was a trivia lesson today. It was, it really was.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Give up your seat or don't take a seat? I just had a brilliantly sparkling idea. What? We should host a pub quiz. I would fucking love that. Should I delete that? Pub quiz. I would fucking love that. I would love that. I love the pub and I love a quiz. How good is that? Do you know, I spent my whole labour doing quizzes? We'll run out a pub. Yep. I'm not going to be a labour this time.
Starting point is 00:30:42 No, hopefully not. We'll run out of a pub. People can come and get their, get a table, have a table, have a team. Or you don't have to, if you come on your own, there can just be teams of people. Maybe we do this at Christmas time. Oh my God. Can you all wait till Christmas? Everyone's like, don't do this. We won't come. If you want to come, we'll do it in September. Isn't that?
Starting point is 00:31:00 Would not be so cool? Or any time. Oh my God, it could be a, should I delete that. The themed quiz, probably not. We could have a round. We could have one round. Yeah. Wrong answers only.
Starting point is 00:31:11 Yeah, I like that. I'm a plastic invented. Oh my God, let's do this. Okay, sold. Do express interest if you are interested, because if you're not, then we won't do this. But also, we're doing it. Yeah. Whether you come or not.
Starting point is 00:31:25 That would be so bleak. Whether it's just. me, you, Alex and Dave sat in a pub by ourselves. Well, that'd be nice. That'd be nice either way. Okay, well, this has been sparkly. Thanks so much, guys. We'll see you next time.
Starting point is 00:31:39 See you on Monday. Bye. Bye. Thank you so much for listening. Should I delete that as part of the ACAST Created Network.
