ACAST powers the world's best podcasts. Here's a show that we recommend.
Have you ever been to an Olympics or a Super Bowl, a World Cup final or a big title fight?
I've enjoyed that privilege for more than 30 years doing the best job in the world.
My name is Stephen Brunt and my new podcast Up Close will introduce you to some of the most
interesting people I've met along the way. Six episodes of one-on-one conversations with sports
folks who really have something to say. I hope you'll join me on YouTube and wherever you get
your podcasts. Up Close is made possible by the support of Group M Motion Entertainment.

It's Bud Pod 300.
Spartans!
Ready your breakfast and eat hearty.
For tonight, we poured in hell. Yes, 300.
Of course.
How did I not think of that?
We have now done an episode for every brave Spartan that lost their life at the Battle
of Thermopylae.
That's why we started this podcast.
We're always aiming for this point. Yep.
People said it makes no sense as a way to honor the dead of Thermopylae.
Well.
And well.
Where are those people now? Under the Persian thumb.
Under the Persian thumb, busy wiping egg off their face.
Yeah. And wiping down whatever the people were doing in that tent with Xerxes.
Yeah.
The big fetish tent he carries everywhere with him.
It looked very sticky in all that upholstery.
Xerxes.
Velvet and calm.
Oh my God.
Xerxes portable BDSM tent that he took everywhere with him on campaign.
That was the point of the movie where my father did have to look down.
Oh really?
My father did have to look down.
I love this movie 300, dad likes violence.
I'm gonna show him this.
And then the orgy scene happened.
And then I went, I did forget about.
When they're sort of being, the hunchback.
Twirling on each other.
Amputee orgy scene.
There are the amputees in there.
Yes, for some reason.
Yeah. It's unclear.
Because he's-
He's decadent.
He's decadent and inclusive, Xerxes.
Yes, he's inclusively decadent, and that's another reason why...
I am an inclusive king.
That's what he says, right?
And he's supposed to...
I am a god.
When he asks Leonidas to give up, I am an inclusive god.
Body positivity will prevail.
I am eight feet tall.
And all the Spartans are there saying, no, everyone should be shredded.
Everyone should be shredded and topless.
And six foot two.
Yeah.
That's it.
And we have honored them all, as you say.
If you look in the description of every episode, there's a Spartan name.
Hidden.
Hidden in the description. Hidden in the description.
Hidden in the description. That's why episode one is a brand new podcast brought to you
by Phil Wang and Pianavelli Leonidas. That was just the first one. God, that film, 300,
had such a complete death grip on like, because it came out, I think when we were 16.
Guess how many years ago it was?
16? No, 18 years ago it was? I mean, 16?
No, 18 years ago.
18 years ago.
Oh my God.
Someone born on the release day of 300 is now 18 years old.
God.
God.
That's disgusting.
Someone born on the birthday, the birthday,
someone who had their birthday on the release day of 300
could now have the body
of Leonidas in 300. That is fucked. If he worked hard. Without the beard, maybe. Without the beard,
yeah. That's insane. But I mean, that movie, I don't know, it had such a death grip on all the
teenage boys. Oh man, it was, it was a sensation. It was all enveloping. All encompassing. So many quotes, so many like lines. Tonight
we dine in hell. This is Sparta. I mean, they all kind of followed a similar theme. What
is your job? That was a good one. Spartans, what is your job? That was a good one. I still
said this there, I don't know what they said in response, but it was still thrilling.
Grunting is their job.
Who's the Persian messenger?
Matt messaged me just now about it being 300 actually
and said, I hope you kick a Persian messenger
into a big well to celebrate.
Who would that be for us?
Someone from the rest is?
Coming to offer peace between us and the rest is politics?
Yeah, because they're a much bigger, more powerful empire.
Ah, yes, yes. And we're standing up to Rory Stewart and saying, no,
this is Bud Pod and we kick Rory Stewart into a well.
He's a sort of diplomat slash spy, so that kind of works. He'd be dressed like he is in his little
Walking Across Afghanistan outfit. It's like writing a book about diplomat slash spy. So that kind of works. That's true, yeah. He'd be dressed like he is in his little walking across Afghanistan outfit.
He's fucking writing a book about walking to Bud Pod.
Yeah.
And we kick him and his book into a well.
Ah.
And he would go fucking flying.
Just know he'd go ages.
He's built...
He'd go for ages.
He'd go ages.
It's so funny.
If I got the chance to full on chest kick him into a big well, he'd go fucking ages.
He'd go for ages.
He would.
He's built like a bird.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you kicked him with a chest.
Anyone can walk across Afghanistan in that light.
He'd blow across Afghanistan on trade winds.
On a goat's fart.
A goat just, why did one fart and Rory Stewart flew across Afghanistan?
Billowed across the Middle East and the Far East, or Central Asia, I guess.
Yeah, he'd be a good Persian messenger to kick it to a big whirl, sent by Lineker.
Of course, yeah.
Lineker's just on a big throne made of footballs and skulls.
Linnecke's Xerxes.
Yeah, Linnecke's Xerxes.
And he's got a big tent filled with like Richard Osmond and Marina Hyde and Dominic Sandbrick
and Tom Holland all going, ooh, ooh, with like microphones.
Yeah, he's getting sexual with mics, oiled up mics.
Yeah, all this sort of Persian infantry, this sort of hordes of Persian infantry are just people
who listen to the, people who subscribe to one of the rest is.
All the rest is history listeners going, this doesn't work.
We've done the reading.
No one's listening to them.
Yeah, the rest is history.
Surely the podcast was to avoid this very sort of thing happening again.
That's true actually.
Dominic Zambrich and Tom Holland's heads on spikes because they, they told Linica it wouldn't work attacking down a narrow pass.
They'd say we've, we've actually done an episode. I don't know if they've done an episode about it.
They were, we've done an episode on this Linica. We can't, he's
slicing their heads off of his ear.
The way giraffes fight. Have you ever seen that?
Yeah, they just kind of tangle their necks, right? They've got little nobbles on their
heads.
They smack each other with their necks.
Yeah, it sounds rough.
Recommend looking that up if you've never seen a video listeners of giraffes fighting
with their necks. Cause that's what Lenna Kid did.
Yeah.
And chopped off.
They get real momentum in those, in those heads heads at the top of those long necks.
Yes, the battle of, if not thermopoly,
the poddly, the um.
The buddly.
The buddly.
The poddly.
The bottle of Bud Poddly.
The bottle of Bud Poddly.
I've.
Who does, we have made,
I mean what, 200 hours of free entertainment?
Free, definitely. Entertainment up for discussion.
We have made, sorry, I'll change.
Apologies, my lord.
You're like in court, you know.
I will amend.
We have made over 200 hours of free content.
That's why people say content, isn't it?
Because entertainment is a claim.
It is.
Content is undeniable.
It is undeniably taking up time.
It could be blurry JPEGs of your bumhole, but it's content if you post it.
And pretty good content.
And pretty good content. You'd be lucky to get there.
Speaking of photos of body parts, Yes. We have, I mean, I mean, what a wonderful occasion, episode 300, to be able to share
this news, but my WikiFeet profile on wikifeet.com, which rates the feet of celebrities and me,
has after the campaign, Rotten Tomatoes, that encouraged PodBuds to boost the review, the star rating
of my feet. We are now at, I think it's safe to say 5.28 stars out of five. We don't know
how that's happened.
The first person, Phil, to break the internet with a body part was Kim Kardashian with that
big bum she had installed.
Kim Kardashian got a big bum installed and she took a picture of it all shiny and oily
with some champagne on the bum shelf.
And now my Brazilian foot lift has paid off.
Your BFL.
My BFL.
I got two big old juicy badunkaunk feet added to the bottom of my pins.
And they're finally getting the recognition they deserve.
Because I must be, am I the only Wikifeet on Wikifeet to have more stars than is physically
possible?
You might be the top hottest man feet.
I must have the best feet on Wikifeet.
Surely.
I don't know how we prove that.
I mean Wikifeet-
We have to go through all of them, I'm afraid, Felipe.
They really need to change the UX on Wikifeet.
They need to hire a more modern coder.
Yeah, it turns out Wikifeet doesn't have the most robust of code infrastructures.
I don't know what the term is, but...
Okay, no you're not.
What?
That's 5.6 out of 5.
Who does?
Well, who?
Some guy called Re 5. Who does? Well who?
Some guy called Rebell.
Rebell?
But to be fair he has 175 pictures that he has posted.
Well if we're talking about stars per photo, this guy's got fucking nothing.
My feet are like the velvet underground, not everyone's heard of my feet but everyone who
has got feet of their own. Not every, not every foot fetishist has jerked it to my feet, but, uh,
all the, no, not everyone has seen my feet, but everyone who has seen my feet
has jerked it to them. Right, right, right. Okay. Yeah.
I've given a foot fetish to everyone who's seen them. Yeah.
A hundred percent hit rate, a hundred percent hit rate in converting people into
wanting to join in on this. That's right. That's right.
What does it say? 13 US.
I was about to say wrong, but it is 13 US,
because it's 12 UK.
Are these sickos that good?
They can tell from a photo of me on a hammock
by in relation to everything else in the picture,
what size my feet are.
It's like those sort of online photo detectives
who can tell in
a single flash where on earth the place is.
Yeah, they just go Quebec and you're like, no, it's even more specific than that. I guess
Montreal. Fuck how? Yeah. Yeah. Well, are you wearing glasses in the picture?
Yes. Sunglasses? Glasses.
Glasses.
But they could look up the size of glasses and then like extrapolate it from within the
photo maybe.
Well, and I guess my, my height, public knowledge on Wikipedia?
My hand is doing the peace sign, but how do they know how big my hand is?
The glasses are the key, something measurable.
You've had your foot size calculated by the same people they hire to determine if a facility
is military or not, and satellite images.
Just from the shape and the patterns of the structures.
There's too many trucks pulling up at strange hours. This is something military about this.
Well, there's a guy in the CIA with a foot feather, the NSA with a foot feather,
she has like moon lights on here.
On the side. Yeah, as a hobby. When the work is done, he does it for feet.
He's an analyst for feet.
Well, thank you so much PodBuds for getting my feet up to 5.28 out of 5.
Literally the best review I've ever had and will ever have.
Yeah.
I think, I don't think it's possible for me to get a better review than that.
No one gives comedy reviews that are like performatively above 5 out of 5.
And they very rarely give 5 out of 5.
Yeah, very rarely.
Yeah.
But no one, that's true, isn't it?
No one does like a kind of 6 out of five for this fantastic thing.
Which you do sometimes get with like films or music.
Do they?
Yeah, some people think they're being clever.
I think that's a NAF.
It is NAF.
You've built a structure, you must abide by it.
You've built rules.
If we start adding extra stars,
then we're on a cart to hell.
But in this case, I will allow it.
5.28, I think is not too much over five.
It's a humble amount over five stars.
How do you induce a coding error like that?
Like how does that even happen on the website?
By having feet that cute.
By having feet that cute.
If we took a photo of each one of your feet
pressed into one of the buttocks of Kim Kardashian that she had installed, that would double break the internet.
That would, yeah. We'd be, that would break all computers. We'd be like Y2K.
Yes, if it was her big bum shelf and you were standing on it barefoot.
Yeah.
Like about to dive off.
That's a beautiful picture.
Wow. Internet's broken twice, but then does that cancel out?
They'd have to just shut it down.
They go, it's over now.
Yeah.
Well, I won't do it.
No, I won't do it as a service to humankind.
I won't do it, but I will threaten to do it until my demands are met.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
So don't say you won't do it.
I won't do it for now.
You might.
I won't do it today, but I might do it.
If I'm just pleased enough.
Yes.
Yes. Very good. Uh, yes. Very thrilling. What a wonderful, but I might do it. If I'm displeased enough. Yes.
Very good.
Yes, very thrilling.
What a wonderful, exciting time to be alive.
All in time for episode 300.
So much content.
We've burped out into the world, and that doesn't even
include all the bonus content.
That's true.
Extra content on the bonuses.
And we should say, actually, because I sort of knew this,
but we haven't made a virtue of it.
If you don't like hearing the normal episodes with adverts,
if you become a Patreon, you get to watch the video
of the normal episodes, and there is an option
for an advert free pure audio of the video,
like on the YouTube link.
So if you just join the Patreon, you'll see,
there's a way to get these podcasts.
Essentially, if you join the Patreon,
you'll have ad free episodes.
That's it.
In all its forms,
advertising will be removed from your life.
That's right, that's right.
Apart from us advertising our own things.
And we can't promise other advertising
won't happen to you outside of Bud Pod.
If you turn on the TV or you see a billboard,
that is not our fault.
And it's nothing to do with us.
That's not anything to do with us.
We don't benefit from that.
No, we don't get anything out of those.
Cause there are four other people and other brands.
All these other fucking people.
300.
It's been a good tricentury.
A triple century.
Triple century.
A triple century of Bud Pod.
It's changed so much and so little at the same time, hasn't it?
We've had more years of Bud Pod than year had more episodes of Bud Pod than years of America.
Yeah, suck it America.
Yeah.
Good luck catching up now.
Who's the real shining city on a hill?
Shining shitty on a hill?
Yeah.
It's us.
What is the city on a hill? Is it Washington DC?. What do they mean? What is the city on hill?
Was it Washington DC?
Is that what they meant?
What is the city on hill?
Is it the Capitol building?
Metaphorical sort of like.
All right.
I was thought it was the Capitol building
cause I was on a hill.
They do light it up a lot.
And it is white and shiny.
Yeah.
No, I think that's fair.
Who'd have thought, who'd have thought?
We asked, we asked you guys,
by which we mean the Patreons, I suppose,
cause it's the only real way we have to ask you guys things
until you all follow us on Instagram, that is, then maybe we can do it there. We asked
for people's favorite episodes. That's right. Because we couldn't possibly choose ourselves.
They are each of them like a child. Yes. Yes, exactly. In the sense that we could choose,
but it would be widely frowned upon and possibly illegal. Yeah, and I don't remember all the names.
Well, if you have 300 kids, fair enough.
True, yeah.
You need a big tattoo or something.
Or just numbers, and they have to wear numbers
on their hats.
So people's favorite episodes, Alex says-
Why not put names on their hats?
Why not put names on their hats?
If something's going on their hats.
Takes too long to read.
Because there's 300 of them. Eventually they'd be like Schmax and like Glammy and stuff. You'd be like, what Fred
to exactly. Yeah. You just get so sick of it. You just go to it. It's extra too long
to read or the Nebuchadnezzar on this fucking kid's head. He's just 27. Alex says favorite episode 125 because of Jenny's correspondence, which made me, Pierre quote,
devastated to learn that I sound like I'm wearing a hat.
Oh yeah.
I was devastated by that.
I always pictured Pierre wearing a hat.
She said, and I thought, fuck you.
Yeah, but also spot on.
No. Now, which hat?
I'm currently thinking the...
We tried to figure this out because obviously the worst would be Trilby.
The worst is Trilby.
I'm kind of thinking the Oppenheimer hat, which isn't quite Trilby, but it's in the
neighborhood of Trilby.
It's pretty bad.
I mean, there's a chance that like the most benign thing would be that like maybe, you
know, Jenny thought she's watched so many clips of people, even British podcasters wearing
big trucker hats for some reason.
Oh yeah.
But those big frontages that she just thought, you know what?
Podcasts have hats.
British male podcasters also have baseball hats on at all times.
It's the law.
Pierre is a British podcaster, go.
Pierre is wearing a hat.
But I worry about that. I worry about that. Jim doesn't know
what number it was. But the one way I went on a rant about
modern cars looking like smooth shoes. Oh, it's a curious one.
Anna Marie says episode 38 Uncle Fatty going missing. Remember
Uncle Fatty the fat monkey in Thailand. Big fat monkey. Wow,
was that 38?
38. Bloody hell.
I know pre-COVID. Pre-COVID Bud Pod. What a sentence.
Yeah. Well remembered.
Pre-war Bud Pod. Uncle Fatty.
Just knocking on the microphones. Is this pre-COVID podcast?
Allie adds in 139 lost in the desert music. You have the best...
You should... They should have hired you for Dune. It should have been like desert music as sung by Phil Wang. Should have been my final credit. The Dune one was like...
It sounds like someone who's just won the lottery. But every time it gets, they played so much in Dune One that it got funny and they pulled
back on it in Dune Two, but because it sounds, after a while it sounds like she's going,
yeah.
You know, like, Timothee Chalamet will go, I'm what?
I'm the chosen one.
Yeah.
It's like, it's like someone in the back behind the cameras going, yeah,
you are the traditional Gragnoth hype man or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Like
strapped to a, an elephant. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Playing bagpipes, but also have elephants.
Trapped or mining craft. Strap to a grellifant. It's that same thing with a fucking sci-fi and fantasy
where they go, right, so it's an elephant.
And they go, yeah, but four tusks or maybe one.
It's like, I was watching with all of the rings
with the family over Christmas,
as is a Christmas tradition for many people.
And the elephants in it are just called olefants.
And I was like, okay, come on, man.
Come on.
You call the tree an ant, you can do it. You gotta show up to work on this. That was the end of day. And
Tolkien was like, oh, fucking hell. Friday, five o'clock. Oh, elephants. Fuck it. Fuck
it. I'm an Englishman in the 1930s. Elephants are already mental to me. I don't need any
help with this. Allie also says episode one for four winter employee. Oh, I don't remember
what that was. Was that like the thing about like,
Oh costume Halloween costumes having silly names
like mischievous.
Our winter employee must have been Santa.
Santa Claus.
Elf maybe.
Oh elf, right.
Elf costume is winter employee.
Winter employee.
Yeah, I think that's what it was.
That's good.
No, that's a running gag that really pays off
in your day to day life.
Cause you see it, you know, you see it a lot. Especially around Halloween.
I mean, not day to day. Every Halloween you see all these...
But then it became like a meme.
Of people making up fake costume packages.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fi, I think Fi. F-I. Fi?
Fi, yeah. Short for Fiona, usually.
Yeah. 213 buttons.
Just for me becoming increasingly infuriated
by an imaginary guardsman in an alleyway
asking if his uniform looked cool.
I think that was a sketch, but I have no memory of,
that tickles a bit of memory in my head.
Yes.
Lily, episode 206, horse hugs.
Remember the horse?
Oh, like horses.
This horse kept hugging a woman.
Oh yeah.
When they took it to the vet.
So this was when we were talking about that brand of clickbait, weird headlining clickbait
about a crazy story where it would be like this woman's horse kept hugging her.
When the vet X-rayed it, they called the police.
And then the lines that she likes are, this baby is one of the old gods, born of a horse.
And this pregnant woman's, yeah, yeah, that was it.
This pregnant woman's horse wouldn't stop hugging her when the doctor saw her ultrasound.
He called the police of the woman.
So the implication being she was pregnant with a sort of horse child.
And then the whole thing was like the horse is trying to get you, the baby was going to
be bad. I said, I need you to squeeze it out of her and trample it. No, I need to trample this criminal baby
The horse tries to smash it
You can travel back in time to kill baby Hitler, but your horse. How do you get inside the Hitler house? Sorry home
Yes, Andy Andy says also like you it's like being asked to choose a favorite child. Yeah. Yeah
The minute but that's how the Minotaur was created,
by the way, when the big white bull had sex with the queen of
Crete.
Um, the discussion we had about low quality speakers on trains
and pound land headphones.
Yeah. Oh, and then the,
his favorite bonus part is the Bud Pod Carol's album
featuring twerking my way to Nazareth.
I forgot about that.
Man, we have made a lot of content. I don't remember half of these. We're just throwing
gold onto the streets. I know. It's like waking up in hospital and people just telling you that
you've been a musician for decades. I don't remember any of it. Is that me playing the guitar?
Yeah. Well, I don't think I can anymore.
playing the guitar? Yeah. Wow. I don't think I can anymore. Episode six even, does the British Transport Police episode 100, the Adam Curtis music documentaries. It was about
power. It was about power. Mamalorians, Phil's genuine displeasure. And bonus part 165 about the people who have like the mandalorian Yoda babies or whatever
it is.
The fake babies.
Oh yes, no, these were and they were like Yoda babies or something.
That's right.
And they had, it was either on Facebook or some online forum where owners of these Yoda,
baby Yoda dolls would agree to send them over for sleepovers.
Disgusting. And they take photos of the Yoda dolls together. to send them over for sleepovers. Disgusting.
And they'd take photos of the baby Yoda dolls together.
Sleeping together, yeah.
Oh, and saying, they had such a great time.
Bragu was very feisty when he arrived, but after a lot of playing, got quite sleepy and
they napped together.
Creepier than just a picture of someone's dick.
Like just, show me a picture of your hairy dick
and it'll be less upsetting to me
than a clean picture of two baby odors.
With an anecdote, a fake story attached.
An implication that they're dating.
Well, I know you took a photo of them in pristine silence.
And your dick was out, your dick probably was out,
but not in shot.
That makes it worse.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ah, yuck.
Ali also says the Oracle from 300 being a football referee.
Do you remember that?
Oh!
That's relevant to 300.
It is, oh, nice one.
Just the swirling woman with all smoke around her going,
oh, like F of VAR.
Right.
Juke penalty.
Offside. Just on the corner there. The corner of the pitch.
The arriving oracle. I know we're going over to the oracle now like still in a
box filled with smoke. Oh she's got to be disappointed with that call. Foot to hand.
At the end of the day, someone has to make these choices.
And not foot to hand.
One might think of ball to hand.
That's when the handball is allowed.
Ball to hand.
A red letter day for the podcasting world as Bud Pod records its 300th episode of its
hit podcast Bud Pod.
There you are boys, steady on, and here's a woman enjoying it on her way to work.
Oh ho ho, chuckle while you can, madam, chuckle while you can.
Yes, for 300 episodes and even more hours, the boys, as they have come to be known, have not only
entertained, well not always entertained, but sometimes and always provided at least
content with their mirthful musings on poo, laughter, life, politics and everything in
between. It was not always an easy ride. Only six
episodes or so in, Phil found himself doing a poo onto a hammock. But what would
have been the death knell of any lesser podcast became a new, became the very
crux of this podcasting behemoth. Now 300 episodes later the boys have gone down
the path of decolonization much to the chagrin of many and the delight of
others. Look at that dog laugh. Yes for three or four years now the boys have been entertaining boy, girl, man and hun.
By which we mean adult woman.
Not you, Fritz.
Acast powers the world's best podcasts. Here's a show that we recommend.
Have you ever been to an Olympics or a Super Bowl, a World Cup final or a big title fight?
I've enjoyed that privilege for more than 30 years doing the best job in the world.
My name is Stephen Brunt and my new podcast, Up Close, will introduce you to some of the
most interesting people I've met along the way. Six episodes of one-on-one conversations with sports folks
who really have something to say. I hope you'll join me on YouTube and wherever you get your
podcasts. Up Close is made possible by the support of Group M Motion Entertainment. Acast helps creators launch, grow and monetize their podcasts everywhere.
Acast.com.
Make yourself your own medieval monarch episode 221, the Tony Robbins episode, Phil trying
to whisper the top 500 quotes from quote fancy.com.
Wow.
Wow.
I feel like Owen.com. Wow. Wow.
I feel like Owen Wilson today.
Wow.
Oliver has been keeping a note on his phone of his favorite moments and episodes to listen
back to for a few years now.
Wow.
Can we please have those notes?
Oliver, please share your notes.
We would love those notes.
We desperately, we should have been making those notes.
Yeah.
Thank you for making those notes.
You guys are the real saviors.
We should start a Wiki page just for Blood Pod, I think.
There's one for fucking Dr. Who.
It'll just become my Wiki feed.
Let's be honest.
It'll just descend into a Wiki feed.
Those websites make money for a little bit, okay?
People like to whack it.
The Wiki feeds, yeah.

Put that down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dodgy Austrian.
Michelle, oh, reverent humor.
This made me weep laughing for so long.
I asked you for an example of reverent humor.
Oh, yeah.
Because we were talking about how all humor is irreverent. It was a category for a while on Netflix, wasn't it?
Irreverent comedy. Yeah.
It's all irreverent. And I said, do you give me, tell me a, tell me a reverent joke. And
your joke was, Michelle Obama is so classy. She makes me smile.
Yes.
That delivered by like a visibly nervous man. It's so funny. It's a reverent joke. When you were on tour with me in Belfast, in it? Yeah. And a couple of podbugs came
to the show and we ended up in the same pub. A boyfriend came over and said, would you
go over to my girlfriend and just say, it makes me smile. And I went
over and just did it without her looking and she jumped her then. She was thrilled and
terrified.
Thank God she was thrilled. Oh, she turned around.
Thank God I got the right lady.
Yeah. She just turned around and just fucking punched you in the head. Oh, Charlie says
Monspider inaccessible Hus for Spider-Man No Way Home.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. In inaccessible hus. Yeah. For Spider-Man, no way home. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Inaccessible hus.
Also, while I'm thinking.

We did, yeah.

Incredible.
Yeah.
Not so clever, these bots.
Trick the robots.
Charlie also says, well, I'm thinking about it.
If we released a collection like Athletico Mints of all
the Grandma cavemen back to back.
Oh. I would love that. It's a good idea. We're working on that. We're working on that. The boffins are working
on that one. The boffins are in their labs tinkering. Why don't you worry about that?
Robin says hoops, hoops. Igor again. The musical about basketball. Hoops. Yeah.
The people's meat march.ops. Yeah. Yeah.
The people's meat march.
People like that.
Thank you to Simon for that.

There's a reason we eat the meat we eat.
Yes.
I'm in parking of my perfect console.
High speed goblin fills receipt anxiety and has discussed at the word ass.

The man who checks.
Oh, the man.

It smells like metal.
Orangutan is watching you.
What? Yeah, okay. Oh, it was all the interjections of like little Wayne.
What? Yeah, okay.
That's right.
And it was like a whole conversation
you can have just like that.
What?
Duvet wife. Duvet wife?
Duvet wife.
A lot of duvet wife around these days.
This is the character in a movie where the main guy, the hero, has a dead wife and you
only ever see her in flashbacks where she's under duvet, but it's very bright outside
the duvet.
It's blazing sun on top of the duvet.
Light is stampeding through this duvet.
And she's in full makeup and sort of chuckling and rolling around.
Horrible.
You will see duvet wife a lot.
Gabrielle, episode 11.
Wow.
Is all farts sound like bread?
None.
What were the other ones?
All the different words for bread. Panini.
Pan in French.
Oh yeah.
Pan.
Bread.
Bread.
What's bread in Spanish?
Pan.
Pan.
Pan.
I've done a few pans.
None.
Yeah.
That was one of the funny ones.
And also episode 11, Keep on Jackie, it made its first appearance.
11.
11?
According to Gabrielle.
That early?
Gosh.
Oh, times.
Don't know the episode number as I'm on holiday, but the one with the backwards breathing and
talking.
That was horrible.
No, talking like this?
So horrible.
Why?
What's horrible about this?
It's just more efficient.
It's how your ghost would talk through a evil mirror.
It sounds like undead Mickey Mouse actually, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Minnie, hi Minnie.
You're supposed to be dead.
You're supposed to be dead.
Brains.
Glutty sprains.
Gorsh.
That's sort of Mickey punches his way out of the earth.
That's not that silly.
He wouldn't be in there.
He'd be in a big crypt.
Mickey, he could afford like a family mausoleum.
He's in a Batman grave.
Yeah, big time.
All the graves in Batman, the massive astonishing graves in Batman.
Arche-deco like monstrosities.
Yeah.
Mickey would be punching his way through a marble lid.
Ah, yes.
Yeah.
Italian marble. What a. Yeah, Italian marble.
What a topper, Italian marble.
Italian marble on Mickey Mouse's coffin.
It would look like Napoleon's too.
Seven layers of like rare wood and stuff, you know.
Dom, boarding school chicken fist boxing.
Oh my God, yeah.
I mean, huge.
What a story, the chicken fist fight club. Yeah, and the song you did in bonus part one 70, he says, bacon why was that in bonus part?
That's bonus part. Bacon white. Wow. Horse hugs. Uh, we're also featuring whoopee Goldberg's repulsive
house. Yes. What was that one? It was clickbait that said more love for sports. I need to get, I need turbo man. I need to buy Jamie.
That's my tree. Oh, well, Charlotte is really decisive episode 79. No question. Cause it contains
Phil's kid rock revelation. I love the rock. Hannibal being an absolute ham about having killed
kid rock. Hannibal. I get with, like the serial killer killing Kid Rock.
Wow.
I don't know how we got to that.
Pierre's imaginary son's lisp.
Yes.
Yeah, Katie Story was a big fan of that.
Yeah.
How dare you bully my imaginary son for his imaginary lisp.
I'm getting angry with my eyes shut in the dark.
I'm trying to go to sleep.
And I'm purple with anger. I always, um, that's the
episode I force people to listen to and I think they might like the part and get into
that. Thank you, Charlotte. That's very kind. Um, Kate says, I'm not sure which bonus part
it was, but the Fox screams one that's recent. They're really horrible. Yeah. You have a
good talent for very particular type of horrible noise.
Like scream, yeah, kind of shrill.
Scream, but with a kind of...
Because of your years of singing, there is a melodiousness to them that makes them so
much more horrible to hear, I think.
I think that's why you can do the desert singing.
Yeah, I mean, that's...
With a good vocal control, you can't do such a horrible sound.
A cop out to choose a recent one, maybe, says Kate, but Dad Pod, 272.
Dad Pod.
What about dads?
And like watching a movie with your dad,
you're watching Raid with your dad on a laptop, I think.
Oh yeah, and dads watching movies from the side,
from like stood up by the sofa.
The Christmas songs,
my Christmas song about you sitting on your own
in the church having a little cry.
Oh yeah.
On Christmas, oh yeah, but those are all bonus parts.
Fishing scam 206.
Insane pop-ups, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
We won it, we won it, we won it.
We won it, yes. That was the- Episode 123. Election night party. yeah, yeah, yeah. We, we won it. We won it. We won it. Yes. How's the episode one, two, three election night party. The super poison that killed
the robot at number 83. Yes. This is the revelation that both of us as little boys would mix our
mothers like bath liquids, but then the guy, not the bath water, but then that guy wrote
in his soap. He's written in a few times. Potions, we all love to make potions as boys.
Boys love potions.
Chris, yeah, the original Bud Poo, that's true.
Poo Hammock.
Yeah.
No one started at all.
God, this is what I'm saying, Phil.
So much content.
So much content.
So much content.
Some of it entertainment.
I just sent you, Howard made a list of every time Marjorie popped up with details.
Oh wow.
On what was happening to Marjorie.
We have a Marjorie.
I'm just kind of skimming through these. First of all, there's not as many Marjorie appearances as I thought.
I guess it's not counting the live ones.
So, what did Felipe just say that who sent it in?
Howard.
Howard has sent in a collection of all the Marjorie appearances and what she talked about.
There's not as many as I thought. I guess it doesn't count.
There are some live ones.
Episode 100, Marjorie is turned into a gif and reveals that she doesn't use spoons.
That's like reading a breakdown I've had.
Episode 141, Marjorie is in a VIP area and gets lost
having left their coat with a lady who looked trustworthy.
Marjorie was confused about the labels on the toilet doors.
204, Marjorie is calling regarding her job as a bollard.
She is normally a bollard under the floor.
She slides up through the asphalt
to block delivery drivers with her body. She cannot
come to play bridge with the board of directors because she is on shift. She won't be able to make
the pie contest where they see who can make themselves smell most like pie. Just sarcotic.
It's like something from the movie Seven. So insane. Episode 13.
The Rispica pronounced as a word, not initialism.
Hiking in woods in her special shoes from her wedding.
Nothing has been done wrong, but she has seen a Bigfoot.
Don't want the police to get him.
Foot was too big for his body like an L.
He was having a barbecued apple outside of the usual barbecue area.
Worried that someone has gotten to Bigfoot and he's now a vegan, like a
vegan cat and he might die. I'd call the police if I found this in a bin outside
of this house.
There's a bit in the new Nosferatu where Ellen, her eyes go white and she starts rambling
at a strange demonic curse. And it sounded like that.
Really?
Yeah. When you were describing all those madras,
it was like.
But she didn't have a madri voice.
It was like when Rose, Lily Depp.
There's a vampire.
Lily Rose Depp.
There's a vampire who wants to have sex with me.
Yeah, that's it.
I'm very worried.
I'm very worried.
He's coming all the way here.
That's a lot of pressure.
It's a lot of pressure for someone to come all the way
from Eastern Europe just to have sex with you.
What a movie, by the way, Nosferatu.
Oh my God.
I've never seen, it's been so long since the film
has captured your heart.
I just loved it so much.
I was doing impressions of Nosferatu.
We had a weekend together, us and some friends,
and my girlfriend was there,
and we were the only ones who watched Nosferatu,
and I kept doing an impression of Nosferatu.
I delighted my girlfriend, but no one else got.
It was like you were doing an absolutely fucking bang on impression of a close relative. You
know?
Yeah, yeah, right.
Only she'd met.
Yeah, that's exactly what Uncle Alfie sounds like though. You don't get it.
If you'd met him, you'd be losing it right now.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you very much for all this kind of stuff, guys. It makes
it, sometimes you, well, you don't worry,
but sometimes you get the feeling that you go,
oh yeah, and once a week, me and my friend Phil
do this thing and it sort of nominally goes somewhere,
but we have no real feel for it.
Yes, no, thank you.
That made this podcast feel very real.
It's, podcasting is not kinetic.
Going on TV or radio is kinetic,
because you have to go to a building and you
know that it's real because look, there's someone whose job is to do the phones.
Look, there's some people whose job is to do makeup if it's on TV.
Yeah.
We're in a building and look, the building has logos on the walls.
It's all real.
It's tangible.
It's kinetic.
Whereas podcasting is so easy to do in terms of like the tech
and the setup and stuff, that you can just feel like you're recording into a sort of
a...
A bin?
A bin.
Yeah.
But like, what are you...
Are you shouting?
Yeah, I'm just thinking, am I just shouting into a bin?
Or like a voice, what am I thinking of, a voice...
Recorder?
Yeah.
Memo?
Memo tape?
Dictaphone. Dictaphone. If you feel like a detective with a dictaphone.
Yes. Describing clues. Yeah. Describing clues, footprints leading out of the yard. You just
think no one's listening to this. Yeah. But people are listening. People are. Thank you
so much. In their droves. And thank you so much. Yeah. Thank you so much for letting
us know your favorite episodes there, Patreons. It was lovely. I want to say walk, but it's more like skipping and jumping back and forth
along memory lane.
Yes.
Teleporting in and out of memory lane.
Also, the more you guys tell us your favorite moments and things that will
inform what we choose to put into like compilations or things in future, like
all the information is very useful to us now, especially that we're, you know,
we're always trying to improve Bud Pod and 300 is a milestone,
you know, from which there's going to be the post 300 and pre 300 Bud Pod.
We're building B3, B3 and A3.
B300, A300. That's right. So do let us know any of this stuff because we do log it now.
Oh yeah, we do.
any of this stuff because we do log it now. Oh yeah we do. Yo okay welcome to Barbecue Disco
it's here in Uppsala it's the new disco everyone is going wild for it EDM and we have all you can eat barbecue brisket buffet okay all the best American barbecue meats all the best eastern European
and Spanish vibes you know so like look over there you see those people who
dancing and they look they keep grabbing their stomachs they feel a bit sick they have had the
brisket and now they're doing they're dancing for hours trying to work it off because it's
great it's such a greasy meat you know and then they've got the taco stand over there that's why
the dance floor is full of farts right now because people have had such a big spicy tacos and it's just a great way to party to
enjoy yourself it never closes we're open Friday 7 a.m. to Monday 7 a.m. and
you can have a barbecue brisket anytime day or night we've got the coal outside
in the smoking area that's where you get all the smoke smoked pork and so pull
pork and then you pork in your tacos
and different levels of chili.
But that's why everyone is very sweaty.
Everyone is very full, feels very sick, a lot of farts.
Like I said, it's a terrible smell
of like a sauce and beef and fart.
Well, that was episode 300.
It had something of the Simpsons clip episode about it, but I think in a good
way.
I think it is nice to go over the highlights of 300 episodes and to remind ourselves that
we have said things worth remembering.
Yeah, and that some of the things we say are in people's heads and making them laugh the
way that we get that from other comedians. I don't. No. I only, I only listen to us. Yeah. But I imagine you. Yes.
So supportive of other comedians. Yes. Yes. Exactly. Exactly. Um, and imagine if you're
listening to this brand new and you didn't realize that there's this huge treasure trove
brackets citation needed, please don't check that uncheck that, of podcasts for you to go back
to.
If you're not a completist, if you're not a founding fata, if you're not a refounding
fata.
Hopefully this has been an advert for the older episodes.
If you've not heard them, they certainly have been for me.
I might go back and try and figure out what half of that stuff meant.
For me, it was like the same feeling as when you look at a
picture of your primary school class and you go, Oh yeah, the
guy who stapled his thumb every day and got a kind of weird.
I had a flashback the other day, a guy who got in trouble for
the class assignment. This is in year two, where I'd only just
learned how to write, even though I was six.
Late bloomer. I was late. I was late to school.
Anyway, the thing was write a page of a story,
like in a little school exercise book.
And this guy wrote like two sentences.
And what do you think his scheme, his scam was, Phil,
to get away with not writing a full page?
How do you think he was filling the page,
given that he just wrote two sentences at
the top?
A boy met a silent wizard and the silent wizard said...
Oh, that would be quite good.
He drew and colored in a massive full stop.
And he got in so much fucking trouble for it. I was sat near him and I was watching him like shading in this huge, this huge lead
circle, you know, this graphite gray circle on his page, like the size of a, you know,
bigger than a cricket ball, huge full stop.
Amazing.
Because no one said the full stops have to be...
The ingenuity of children, people who have before they've been told what is and isn't possible
in this world, the ingenuity to come up
with a massive full stop.
Yeah, and I think he even said,
he might even have said to the teacher,
it doesn't matter how big the punctuation is.
I think the teacher was just like,
what, no, shut up, just do the fucking work.
Like didn't really think about it.
And so this kid was like, ha ha.
Like thinking he could like lawyer his way
into getting away with this, obviously not. I only, I had a flashback to that day and I thought, I wonder where
that fucking guy is now.
Over Christmas back at home with my folks, mom had brought back my student planner, my
term planner from my time in Jordan International School in Brunei. And at the beginning of
each term, you get your planner for that term.
And then there's a couple of pages at the beginning.
And one of them was my goals for this term.
And then the top half was academic and I'd left it blank.
And then the bottom half was extracurricular activities.
And I just wrote sing.
I wrote sing and then three exclamation marks.
Cause apparently I was in glee when I was.
Funny man.
When I was a teenager.
Sing.
Academics, perfect.
Extracurricular, sing.
Just sing about how well my exams are going.
Sing.
Well, we have much to sing about
because episode 300 is now done
and thank you for being such wonderful listeners to 300 episodes.
A new century dawns.
It does.
Much love to you all.
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
And here's to more, even more episodes.
Can you believe it?
Mwah.
Mwah.
Bye.
Bye.
