It's bird pod 1, 1, 3, 113.
113.
Do you reckon this unlucky 13 if it's 113?
Yeah, does that make it 100 times more unlucky?
Yeah, is it like 13 plus plus plus?
Supercharged 13.
Why weren't multiples
of 13 ever unlucky
that's 26 that's even worse
that's twice as bad
13 squared
imagine that
I don't want to
I can't I wish my arithmetic was that good
I guess
13 is a prime number
and it holds a lot of its power
and its primacy
can you say that?
but multiples of 13 are by definition not prime anymore
so they lose their power
maybe that's it then
it's always just prime numbers
that's why people who
sold their bitcoin are so unlucky
have you sold any nfts yet
any of these newfangled things as i call them
that would be so funny that turned out out That's what NFTs stood for It's one of these newfangled things
I have not sold any
NFTs yet
I'm sure the time will come where I
Jump fruitlessly too late
Onto that particular bandwagon
As I have done with all bandwagons
You know
Have you seen the story of that
Gal who's in the meme
Who sold her original photo of the meme as an NFT?
No.
The disaster girl.
You know that meme of the burning house and the creepy girl
kind of smiling in the foreground?
Yeah, and it looks like she burnt the house down.
Yeah, yeah.
So she is now at university
and she sold that original photo as an NFT for 500,000 US dollars.
Some fucking weirdo in Silicon Valley, probably.
Some creep who wants to document the history of the internet or something.
But this is it.
The meme kids are going to cash in now.
That's not even one of the major memes.
I know.
I know.
It's like a sort of second, third level meme.
Like, do you remember Victory Boy?
Triumph Boy?
Yeah, and he's eating sand.
Triumph Kid.
Yeah, and he's going, yeah.
Like, he's going to...
I don't know how much money he'll make.
I'm just amazed that she's at university
I mean it makes sense that's how time works but fucking hell
yeah
yeah she's at
she's at a fire school
she's at
fire university
I wonder if being a meme gets you laid
it's a foot in the door isn't it it's a foot in the door, isn't it?
It's a foot in the door.
It's an icebreaker.
It's something to say, for God's sake.
I mean, you're a hit at Freshers' Week
if you were the kid in the meme.
Are you kidding?
That's the first fancy dress costume sorted.
What you need is a very loud loud mouthed friend who goes around telling
everyone that you're a meme.
And you're the other guy going
come on it's embarrassing.
Whereas if you're the guy who goes around going
did you know I was a meme?
People won't like that.
Like a washed up rock star.
You don't want that.
Yeah exactly.
Out of all the now meme adults,
who do you think gets the most action off their meme?
Ooh.
I mean, what other...
There was the Triumph Kid.
I mean, he just has that get up and go natural attitude, I guess.
It has to be a meme where by sleeping with them,
you could like recreate the meme or something or...
It has to be some extra bit of juice.
Oh, right.
Maybe the boyfriend checking out another girl meme.
Yeah, maybe that.
Do you think people transfer that onto him in real life and go,
you're a bad boy.
What about the meme where it's like a woman with her arms folded saying,
I bet he's thinking about other women, and then the man is on the pillow,
and he's thinking about something esoteric and amusing.
I don't know this
meme. Do you not know this meme?
No, I don't know this meme.
It's another one of those stock images. Google search
I bet he's thinking about other women, and you'll see.
Okay, let's
see. But because that is in
bed, maybe if he's like, I'm that guy,
people are like, oh. Oh, this guy.
I see. Maybe they think that's
that's you know in bed and that puts them on the right track to sleeping with him
yeah these are good i like these memes these have completely passed me by
i see see this is was it was it worth all that great mental health, Phil?
No, actually.
Now I think about it.
Because now I feel like a fucking idiot
for not knowing about the
he's thinking about meme.
Oh, man.
I can't believe memes are
A, such a thing at all,
and B, have been around for so long
that they're going to fucking meme
university yeah meme university there's a pixar movie oh my god that don't even say like
saying that something could be a pixar movie is like mentioning the the devil like he he'll appear
he hears you you know it will be a pixar movie now and it'll all and the pay the it will be a Pixar movie now and the poster
will be success kid and
burning down house girl
with one eyebrow raised each standing back to back
with their arms folded
yeah
so the angel and the devil
success and fire
And then Pixar will do some kind of meta-meme thing
About the meme about Pixar mums having huge dump truck behinds
Oh yeah, they do
That's a meme too, Phil
Real badunkadunks
Type in Pixar mom if you dare
Pixar type in Pixar mom if you dare Pixar
it's already come up
Pixar mom's meme
Pixar mom's
am I about to be turned on
if you're not aware of this I encourage you to
look it up
you think you can name a couple of examples
but there are so many.
Oh yeah, look at this.
Pixar women and their big butts.
It's a real child-bearing hips thing Pixar has going.
I wonder what that is.
Why are they doing that? I guess it's just, you
want the apparent
gender of the 3D person
to be guessable in silhouette, right?
Yeah, I guess so.
I guess they're cartoons.
Yeah, they're exaggerations of physical attributes.
It's always going to be the way.
Do you think it may be... You know you are a caricaturist.
That's true. Yeah, you've got to exaggerate
to get recognition. Do you think
that's true about... Is that an American thing?
American mums have just huge asses?
Is that something...
I'm sure a lot of Americans have huge
asses, but I don't think many of them
also have an otherwise slim
body. I think it's... Like a wasp.
I think it's just Like a wasp. I think it's just huge
all the way through
for a lot of Americans. I think they look like
wasps when they give them their tiny
waist like that.
Which makes sense in like a
Bug's Life.
They had to cut the scene with those sexy wasps.
Or it's
dark web alter ego ants with a Z. They had to cut the scene with those sexy wasps Or it's It's dark
Webalter ego ants with a Z
The duplo
To a bug's life
Did you
Ever watch ants with a Z
Of course I saw ants with a Z
With voices being
Jerry Seinfeld wasn't it Woody Allen Fuck Of course I saw Ants with a Z With voices being provided by
Jerry Seinfeld wasn't it?
Woody Allen
Wasn't it Woody Allen?
Fuck
Wasn't it?
Yeah it was Woody Allen
Oh my god it was Woody Allen
One of the ugliest movies I've ever seen
Ants with a Z
So ugly
They saw Pixar's
Poetic license
To add a little colour
To an ant's nest
And went no we're Dreamworks
We're all about realism for some reason
So it's just all going to be brown mud
Because that's what it is in real life
There wouldn't be lamps made out of tulip bulbs
It's just
It's the ugliest fucking movie I've ever seen
I'm going to look it up
It's such a They also ugliest fucking movie I've ever seen I'm gonna look it up now It's such a
They also have like Ant Vietnam in it
Ant Vietnam
You remember they were getting like conscripted for a war and stuff
Oh yeah
And there's like a sergeant and stuff
92% on Rotten Tomatoes
That's a surprise
Ants with a Z.
God, it's ugly.
It's like the plot is like a military thriller.
Right.
Which is surprising.
Why does DreamWorks, for like two decades just doing the China of computer animated films?
Like, it would just pull together these knockoffs, like straight away.
Like they somehow find out Pixar was doing a movie, and then the next week they would release a say a similar but inferior
movie okay so there's a bug's life there was um shark tail that came out right after finding nemo
um um maybe those maybe there are only two examples so i'm looking up um
so I'm looking up so they have produced some absolute cack
so they made the crudes
sorry for any knocking by the way
there's for some reason still hammering going down
downstairs
I think you just live above a place where they test hammers
yeah I think they've converted the flat below us into a hammer testing facility, all right.
I think James Dyson has employed a bunch of Malaysian women
who just test out his new hammer range downstairs.
Now that he's brought all the work back to the UK.
All the hammer jobs are back.
All the hammer jobs are back.
It's hammer time, baby.
God, who remembers the movie Over the Hedge?
What was the movie you said before this?
The Dreamworks movie you said before this?
The Croods.
Were they cavemen?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, God.
So much of this is absolute bum eggs.
Eggs from a bum The boss baby
72%
They made boss baby
What is wrong with them
I would love to meet someone who is just like
God did you see boss baby
Like they really love it
Or someone who just like regularly says in conversation
It's like in Boss Baby when
Yeah yeah
I would
Oh my god that's so fun that's like in Boss Baby when you know
What's his name you know
When the baby
Let's say like you know sometimes where you're the odd one
Out of a group of friends like you're
Inside someone else's friendship circle
You're inside someone else's friendship circle you're inside someone else's friendship
circle yeah you're all hanging out
you're visiting you're hanging out to the bar
it's like seven people and you're the incomer
oh horrible horrible
I'd rather my
head explode yes I know it's your personal nightmare
but imagine that you're in that scenario
and like
in that scenario you
get to witness
their shared pool of references but just imagine
if a really strong recurring one was the
movie Boss Baby
where you didn't just meet one person who loved the film
you met a group of people who were like
they were doing quotes like it was Anchorman
you know
I wonder if you type in
Boss Baby quotes what comes up
maybe we can I mean this is our own fault
that we didn't watch this
Boss Baby was only in 2017
the quotes will be like
oh it's time to invest in
nap time
there you go there's one well one of the quotes is no just the word no
what what okay no finally an addition
boss baby i'm gonna guess like surely there's, like, a line about a boardroom or something.
Or, like, I'm trying to think of what business vocabulary intersects with children vocabulary.
What is the goo-goo-ga-ga for this quarter?
Yeah, there you go.
That's going to bust baby gold.
Or maybe like he wipes his mouth wizard with his necktie instead of a bib.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
his mouth wizard with his necktie instead of a bib.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he says,
don't worry,
it's...
don't worry, it's not
tailor-made.
I don't know. Don't worry,
it's off the rack. Or something like that.
I don't know. I don't know if you get
tailor-made toys. I feel like you don't.
Guess what Boss Baby's budget was.
The film?
Uh-huh.
I'm going to say...
$60 million.
Okay, so $125 million.
Wow.
Wow!
That's an expensive baby!
Guess how much it grossed.
I'm going to say it grossed less.
I'm going to say it grossed $100 million.
Okay, so it cost $125 million, and it grossed $528 million worldwide.
Holy shit, wow.
It received...
That film is a success. I know. It received
Best Animated Feature nominations at the
Academy Awards and Golden Globes.
That's what I don't understand. How is
that animation better? I mean, I'm not saying
it's worse than other films, but how is it
better? It's just the same, isn't it?
It's the same.
Ugh.
It's... That is it's it's so gross i just do you think there's a certain point where uh 3d movies will stop being like money printers
no no in the same way that live action films have not stopped becoming money printers. They just have to find the genre, right?
Yeah, I guess.
But I mean, the formula is so much more tangible, I think, with animated films.
Do you think?
I find it to be because they have to depict everything in this exaggerated way.
And I don't think they have the beauty of the like, you know, the classic sort of, you know, hand-drawn or sort of painted background Disney stuff.
I don't think they're as visually beautiful.
I guess you're right.
I guess, oh, I see, I see, I see.
I see.
I thought you meant sort of the stories are more predictable than a live-action film.
I think if the way the characters look and I think think they often they do feel more predictable than live action
a lot of that's just because everything is by definition sort of planned and you know you're
not going to stumble across a great shot or a fun a fun bit of improv in the way that you will a live action film
yeah and also no one's making
an animated film like a 3D Pixar
movie of like there will be blood
oh that'll be
interesting won't it like a proper like horrific
yeah that'll be neat
yeah like a Pixar style
like a really adult Pixar film
harrowing human interest
completely undermined
by everyone having big eyes.
Yeah.
I guess I've...
You have to go stop motion for that.
That's kind of
a very sad stop motion film.
It's very beautiful. It's British.
Annabella or something.
Anomalisa.
Yeah, that's what you need
3D Pixar whatever
I think it's because every Pixar film is the same genre
Which is kids adventure
A group of
Misfits come together to
Defeat greater force kind of thing
So I think
They're predictable because they're only ever one type of film,
precisely because it's never going to be Pixar's There Will Be Blood.
What would be the least appropriate film?
For Pixar to make?
Yeah, I guess anything involving mass killings.
Yeah, I guess anything involving mass killings.
Yeah, I'd love to see a Pixar full metal jacket.
Or basically any Pixar Kubrick-based film,
like a Pixar or Clockwork Orange would be sick.
Oh my God. be sick oh my god oh man yeah anything yeah anything harrowing kubrick full metal jacket
um like uh a pixar a pixar uncut gems
sort of zany 3D Adam Sandler
yeah
and it's still PG, kids can go see it
but they just come out really stressed
yeah the kids
come out like they've been given amphetamines
just
just hyperventilating
clutching their chests
yeah
that's great just hyperventilating clutching their chests yeah
that's great
yeah I think that would work
I mean lots of
it would certainly be an interesting artistic experiment
in the same way that it would be interesting to do
some sort of harrowing live action
toy story
where it's really painful for them to move
or
yeah yeah they really explore death and things
yeah they all the toys want to die but they can't
they demand oblivion
yeah and every time the gandhi enters the room they they fall back into being toys but
they don't want to and they're basically underneath they're like the people in get out there's like
as they have a sort of the rictus grin
i hate you andy i hate you or like the toys and toy story have to go back to the factory to try
and determine the point in the manufacturing process in which they are given a soul.
Yes, when does life begin, Pierre?
Yeah, the toys from Toy Story attempt to meet and destroy their creator.
Yeah, they use a slinky dog to garrot him.
Yeah, and then the tagline underneath is is buzz and woody
shaking hands and the tagline is it's time to find and kill god
that's such a long tagline it's time to find and kill not even as time to kill is not it's
time to kill god it's time to just so just be clear we're going to find him
first
it's time to find and then kill
God
maybe for foreign language ease of translating
into the post it would be like time to kill God
yeah yeah yeah
yeah God death time
yeah
the era of god's death
that's the Mexico release or something
yeah god's death moment is here
I wonder what like the dodgy
translation of toy story is about
haunted dolls
plastic sentience yeah space cowboy rivalry story
i like when they don't even try and translate the title and they just call it something like
look out
for well for toy story or just for any movie where they just go
we can't translate the title we're just going to call it
whoa
yeah yeah yeah
or Hero Man
crazy story
have you seen the old Toy Story
recently
it's amazing
when you go back to something that was
3D or computer generated in the noughties.
And you look at it now and you go, really? I was convinced by that.
Yeah, it's worse than a shoe on a string.
Yeah, but in your memory it was as clear as if the toys sat next to you in the cinema.
It's like, wow.
I remember playing Metal Gear Solid 2 on the PlayStation 2 and thinking,
wow, we've reached it.
We've done it.
We've reached the pinnacle of computer graphics.
Yeah, you thought if it gets any more realistic than this,
people's minds will explode.
I will get up and walk into the TV like a reverse grudge
if it gets any
I hope they don't get it
any more realistic for my own safety
I'm imagining something better than this
I'm worried and I'm afraid
but you go back
at them and you feel like an idiot
for believing in them you feel like an idiot for believing in them.
Well, yeah, you feel like you were taken in by someone drawing a face on a mop.
But then that makes me think,
so then what's actually the point of continuing to improve on things
if at the moment it's as good as the best possible thing?
You know what I mean?
So, like, at the moment, the best graphics around, we go, this as the best possible thing you know what I mean so like at the moment the best graphics
around we go this is the best possible
graphics so people might as well
stop because if they improve on it
we'll just then look back at what we used to think
was good and go oh that was bad
actually this is the best
that's an interesting thought do you think that if we were left alone
we would eventually have become
sick of the graphics or would we have never
would we have been like an unspoiled Eden
never knowing what we were missing?
I think the vast majority of us would have never known.
We'd have been like everyone else in the Matrix but Neo
just walking around in our suits going,
meh, meh, meh, this is as good as it gets.
In our pixelated angular suits.
That's right. But all it takes
is for a handful of
Silicon Valley nerds
and psychopaths to demand
things are better because they are able
to and care to imagine
better versions of what we have.
And so they force us
kicking and screaming
up the ladder of
technological progress,
and then we realize on our new rung that our previous rung was lowly and beneath us and embarrassing, and then we hate it and we reject it.
And so we just end up with all this rejected media,
whereas if we just stayed at our rung,
I'm starting to come across as a bit of a Luddite here,
but I'm a big believer in what you don't know can't hurt you.
I like the idea of all these Silicon Valley weirdos
being like the snake in Eden
tricking us into eating the same apple over and over again.
Well, they're not.
They're saying, you like that apple?
We're going to come up with a better apple then this apple is even better
the last apple you had was worse
like every time we leave Eden and go into a new garden
they make us leave with another apple trick
that's right
like we're just being continuously undermined
by
these advances
maybe we should just smash all the cotton mills
like real Luddites.
Phil, I think we should do some tat.
It's been a long time.
Oh, gosh. So long I've almost
forgotten the word. I remember tat
by the time that
the graphics of Toy Story were impressing
me. Last time
I was looking at tat, I swear.
Yeah.
Alright, let's do it.
It's wine o'clock somewhere.
Give me the coffee and no one gets hurt.
Bless this mess.
I like two things.
Pals and Prosecco.
And I'm all out of pals.
One Prosecco, two Prosecco, three Prosecco, floor.
If the wife asks, I'm working.
Keep calm and keep drinking tea.
Tat attack!
Tat is really entering the mainstream
up here.
I think we're sort of the unsung
pioneers on Tat.
I think so, and I mean, our listeners
are very dedicated to the point where when there's
some new Tat, we will get a tweet from
about 30 people about it.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
We're the originals. I feel like how from about 30 people about it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So...
Yeah, we're the originals.
I feel like how Tim Berners-Lee must have felt
when the internet took off.
Sort of quietly and calmly, you know,
saying to himself,
yep, that's my invention.
This is free. This is for everyone.
I feel that way about tat
as I watch all these tat memes get spread around
and people sharing tat.
People who haven't even heard of Budpod sharing tat.
That's right.
They have no idea where this came from.
It seems to have just taken hold.
I think...
Yeah, it seems to be hooked in with a Karen meme as well
right yes
and obviously the gross
obviously the gross
packaging, whackaging
that's true
but I think whackaging is different to tat
and
I do believe that
we are the unsung grandfathers of tat appreciation.
In the same way that I'm convinced, I think I've told you this, Pierre,
I'm convinced that I came up with the abbreviation for Duke of Edinburgh, D of E.
I came up with that.
I came up with that.
No one said it.
And then I said it at a boarding school in Brunei.
And a couple of years later,
because I mean, people were at boarding school
who would have gone back to the UK.
A couple of years later, I'm in the UK.
And what do I hear people abbreviating
Duke of Edinburgh Ward to?
D of E.
D of E.
Do you recall anyone saying D of E before the year 2015?
2005?
I don't think so.
That's when I said it for the first time in Far Flung Borneo.
All the way from Borneo.
I can't prove it, but you can't disprove it.
That's true.
That is fair.
I can't disprove it, nor am I willing to try.
Jack from Canada has sent us some rural US tat. Jack from Canada has sent us some rural US tat
Jack from Canada?
US tat?
He's gone south past the border
Yeah, he says
These were spotted at Ryden's Border Store
An otherwise invaluable outpost on the northernmost edge of Minnesota
How cool
I'd love to go to a border store
Yeah
How cool does that sound?
He says Providing cheap gas and a pathway to affordable cross-border online shopping to thousands of Canadians.
It'd be funny if TAT was illegal in Canada and they had to do TAT runs across the border.
We've determined that TAT's real bad for your health, eh?
Gonna ban it.
That was my attempt at a essentially a very generic accent
that could really be from anywhere until I said eh at the end
yeah it could have been Minnesota which makes sense
it could have been any of those northern countries
oh yeah that's real bad for ya
I don't wanna get
some tat on your hands
or your hands on some tat while you're here
that's pretty good
that's alright
it would be fingernails on a blackboard to any actual North Americans
but anyway
in this border store Phil
bearing in mind we're on the border between Canada and America
it's all snowy outside or whatever
lovely
I am looking at a hand carved
wooden nativity scene featuring Joseph, Mary, and Baba Jizu.
Wow, Baba Jizu.
I love Baba Jizu.
Delicious dip.
His Holiness Baba Jizu is here.
That's a delicious dip.
Get the wheat crackers.
That's right.
Baba Jizu is here.
And Mary and Joseph.
But what, in terms of this hand-carved wooden nativity scene, Phil,
what animals are they?
Cats.
No.
They're all one animal.
Ooh.
Huh.
Each of them are an animal.
Each of them are this one species of animal Yes
And I must remind you
Of the location of this shop
Okay
So it's on the northern borders
A bear
It's all bears
Baby
Ah
Is it called Baby Jesus?
Joseph and Barry
Mother Barry
The Virgin Barry
Very nice
The Virgin Barry
Which is how an American would say
The Virgin Barry
Barry
The Virgin Barry
Barry's a virgin
So they're all bears The virgin Barry. Barry's a virgin.
So they're all bears.
I will say baby bear Jesus is a sort of horrifying sight because they've got him sleeping on his back completely rigidly.
Like planking.
Yeah, planking on his back
and he's got a kind of cloth over his bear belly.
Right, like he's about to be operated on
Yes or the way they preserve the modesty of corpses
In CSI
Yeah yeah yeah
So
He's just been
Shown to his family
To identify the body
Basically
The other bears are there to identify Bear B. Jesus' body.
Yes, Bear Baba Jezul.
There's also some wonderful tat of a frog.
These are two separate items, a frog and a wolf,
but they're kind of rolling onto their back
and tipping a wine bottle into their mouth.
They're wine bottle holders.
Great.
Now this is getting closer to traditional tat.
The last thing was like, that was an old-timey tat.
That was just like, why would you have this tat?
Yeah.
But modern tat has to have a cheeky element.
There has to be something cheeky. This frog likes
wine. That's
it. That's cheeky enough. That'll do us.
It's a frog and a wolf, did you say? Yeah, they're separate
items. They're not meant to be mates or anything.
Oh, okay. I presume they're not to scale
either. Uh, no.
No, the frog is far too big.
No, the frog is, to be fair, far too big.
The frog is, it's far too big.
There's also a kind of stamped metal sign that's been painted,
like a post, it's like a poster, but it's clearly made of metal.
And it's a...
Oh, I wanted to do that.
And it's a, it's a, it's a it's photoshopped
like a fist holding a revolver
that's clearly pointing at the viewer
oh dear
and it says warning there is nothing here worth
dying for
wow aggressive tat
aggression tat home defense tat
home defense
tat
there's nothing here worth dying for
What about your partner
Who said till death do you part
There's nothing here worth you dying for
I however love my wife and family
Something like that maybe
Yeah
Yeah that would be inspiring to the burglar
the the that's all that is a genre of kind of like try me tat you know like there's these
t-shirts that guys with ponytails wear it's like three men tried to touch my beard
why don't you ask the two that survived how that went?
Or something like that.
Here's the number for the hospital.
It's like, why are you so aggressive?
What happened to you?
Are people always attacking you?
But also like,
the warning against his potential attackers
is it always takes up like the entire back of his t-shirt.
It's always like the longest message.
It might as well begin,
Dear Sir or Madam.
It's so long.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I kill everyone who tries to cross me.
So don't you fucking dare.
It's the violence version of constantly being underestimated
what are the rules on that
if I walked out on the street with a t-shirt
if I walked out on the street
with a t-shirt that just said
on the front I'm going to fucking kill you
would I get arrested
would police stop me
maybe I don't know actually
yeah
I'm going to fucking kill everyone
and on the back it says I mean it
yeah on the back
it says I mean it and it's your own face
like it's so clearly
you've made the shirt
yeah and I've signed it like it's my signature
on the back as well
there's a QR code that takes you to a website Yeah, and I've signed it like it's my signature on the back as well.
There's a QR code that takes you to a website.
Like, well, is that illegal?
I don't know.
It can't... Because it's not an incitement of violence.
I guess it's a threat, but is threatening people illegal?
It's a statement of intent, isn't it?
That's it, yeah.
Is it conspiracy?
Is it technically conspiracy to murder?
I don't know if you can have a conspiracy on a t-shirt.
Well, let's set the precedent.
I'm enjoying the idea.
This is common law.
We just need a precedent.
I'm enjoying the idea of a version of the public
where if you were just standing on a busy high street
in some town and you just
tilted your head all the way back and went
I'm gonna kill everyone
that people reacted
like as if they fully believed you
oh my god
did you hear him
oh yeah imagine when someone on the street shouted God's coming to judge you Oh my god. Did you hear him?
Yeah.
Imagine when someone on the street shouted God's coming to judge you.
Just like, what?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I've got so much to do.
Oh, I don't have time for this.
Grabbing the lapel.
Who told you this?
You just drop.
How much time?
When?
When?
When did he say?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Put a number on it.
You just drop your shopping on the ground and run home.
I've got to tell the others.
You just join him?
Do you think they'd like that if you just joined them, stood next to them and going,
Listen to this guy!
Am I the only person who heard what he just said?
He just said, he's coming.
Do you think the guy would...
Not only is God true, which I up to this point didn't believe,
didn't realize, he is true and he's coming.
Do you think...
I have to process so much.
Do you think he'd like it?
Like he'd be like, yes, brother, or whatever.
Or do you think he'd be like, kind of jealous,
you're stealing his thunder kind of thing? I think he'd be like, go get you're stealing his thunder kind of thing i think he'd be like go get your own patch yeah hey i think
he'd honestly be like that yeah hey i this is my area for when he comes back yeah you start picking
out all the little bits you're getting wrong like he's you know he's more here to judge the living
than in the dead the dead are already judged so it's just a living he's here to judge the living than the dead. The dead are already judged, so it's just the living he's here to judge.
Hey, when he shows up, I don't want any of this 50-50.
I was here first.
He'll know that.
Bandwagon here.
Louis has sent some good tat.
Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis.
Not allowed to sing that anymore, of course?
Nope.
His dear, dear partner recently brought this monstrosity into their house, he says.
And it's...
It's a sort of sports bottle.
For water.
Someone has brought in a sports bottle. Yeah, it's a sort of sports bottle and water. Someone has brought in a sports
bottle. Yeah, it's a sort of sports
bottle and it's got
a lot
of good tat. The writing on the side.
We're talking two different fonts
and some errant
capitalization.
Great, great, great, great, great.
So,
I'll give you a clue
The second half is in a kind of
All capitals font
And the second half of the sentence is
Is my cardio
Is my cardio
This is in all caps, is my cardio?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's one of those fonts where it's all capitals, whether you want it to be or not?
Okay, okay, okay.
So the second half is...
And above it is blank, blank in cursive,
both capitalized for no reason, Is My Cardio.
Two words.
Yeah, blank, blank, Is My Cardio.
Drinking wine.
No, close. It's actually more of a pun than that oh oh oh running late yeah you got it boy yes yes i think i've seen some version of this
running late is my cardio nice nice nice nice nice nice i should have done the victoria also
could use the vict the victorious throat singing
victorious throat singing
what was it I kept saying didgeridoo
but it was more like Mongolian throat singing
oh yeah
but um yeah you got it man
you got it
oh of course yeah yeah
the tap whisperer
the psychic Tattwispra I've forgotten about that
I've missed that
you got it so
he says is this grants for divorce
on a lighter note
here is my favourite souvenir from our
holiday to Crete
oh great
holiday tag.
So, this is pretty
funny, I will say.
It's right to be his
favourite
souvenir.
So,
I don't really
know which bit of this to make you guess.
It's quite
unusual.
Okay. I'm
intrigued.
Okay, I'll tell you the image
and you can guess the two captions, which
you won't be able to guess. It's not a fair challenge,
but let's see.
So, it is a
photograph of a woman on a
beach.
The tat itself is a photograph of a woman on a beach. The tat itself is a photograph.
It's a postcard.
A postcard, okay.
So, it's a photograph of a woman on a beach,
and she is lying on a sort of sun loungery,
inflatable, sunbathing thing.
And she is topless.
She has a boob out.
You can see the profile of a boob.
Oh, okay. And she's sort of reading a book And that's in the foreground
And just
Beyond her
In much sharper focus than the woman
Is a recreational
Beach donkey
Wow
A recreational beach donkey
What's a beach donkey?
Like one that gives you rides up and down the beach
Yeah, yeah, yeah
A classic bit of British seaside fun
Okay
It's got like a saddle and stuff for little kids
And you know
And the donkey is looking at the lady
The boob lady
Yeah
And the donkey has a huge boner
Wow, okay This is a postcard This is to send to someone Yeah And the donkey has a huge boner Wow okay
This is a postcard
This is to send to someone
This is to send to a friend or relative
Or a relative
Or a dear grandmother
Now in order to take this photo
Either there's just a masterpiece of timing
Oh it's a photograph
So this is real
This is a photograph Phil
This is real
This is a real donkey with a real boner
You better stop believing in photos with donkey boners
Phil
Because you're in one
It's real baby
Oh my god
Wow okay So either it's an incredible bit of luck It's real, baby Oh my god Wow, okay
So, either it's an incredible bit of luck
Or they've teased an erection out of a donkey
And then kind of led him to the other side of a booby lady
And it's taken all afternoon to arrange this photo
What the photo doesn't see is just beyond the booby lady
Is a topless donkey
A topless lady donkey
Completely naked lady donkey.
Completely naked lady donkey. I like the idea that this is
a completely coincidental
tableau and, you know,
Philippus, the Greek photographer, was like,
get my camera, get my camera!
He was just scrambling for it.
Submits it to National Geographic,
tries to get Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
Yeah, he just couldn't believe his luck
Has to settle for a postcard
So
There are two captions
So there's one enormous caption
Which is one word along the bottom of the postcard
Which is, as it were, just under the booby lady
Who's lying down
Okay
So that's one big word underneath the booby lady
And then just on the top left
corner of the postcard in cursive above the head of the clearly visibly aroused donkey
is a three letter phrase exclamation mark you mean three word sorry yeah three word phrase
with an exclamation mark in cursive okay Okay. And the two captions, does one follow on from the other?
No, no.
Okay, so they're unrelated.
They're both related to the image in a way.
Okay.
Wow, okay.
So the one word under the lady.
I don't think you'll ever get this because it's so it's so it's such a funny
it's it's misspelled for one thing okay um milk milk like that
uh the word is and bearing in mind it's so it's a souvenir from a holiday to Crete.
The word is crease.
Crease.
Yeah.
So if you glance at it, if you just glance at it, Phil, and don't give it its credit,
you'd think it would say Greece, the country.
Okay.
But whoever made this postcard didn't know the Roman alphabet
and so it's spelt with a C
so it reads as crease
C-R-E-E-C
yeah crease in huge letters
which is you know one way to describe
a
cleavage
you know it's a big crease
yes that's true
and the three word phrase Cleavage? Yes. You know it's a big crease? Yes, that's true.
And the three-word phrase is...
My donkey dick.
Crease.
I just love... No, they're not related are they
No
I'm the Minotaur
Kreese
That could be pretty good
Thank you
And the second word here is also misspelt
The greatest view.
Greatest is G-R-A. Why a donkey?
I don't like
these bestiality
tat. Yeah.
I don't like tat that implies animals
are attracted to humans. It's very ancient Greece though,
really.
That's true. The donkey's probably Zeus
in disguise. And now we're talking.
The greatest view.
So this is in truth a very
Greek scene.
It couldn't be
more Greek, really.
I'd rejected it out of hand, but
I was wrong to. It's as
Greek as it gets. It's as Greek
as it gets. It's a horny animal. It's as Greek as it gets. It's as Greek as it gets. It's a
horny animal. It's as Greek as it gets.
It's a horny animal and...
Sorry, it's as Creek as it gets.
It's something like something straight
out of ancient Greece.
This is all
Creek to me. Don't understand this one bit.
The
greatest view.
I just like...
Crease! That's funny too.
Crease! Yeah.
I like the idea of having to squint to read the greatest view misspelled
and then realising it is just an enormous donkey's penis and a woman's boob.
Imagine if the postcard was actually referring to the donkey dick as the greatest view.
Yeah.
If this woman wasn't in the way.
So is greatest misspelt similarly as crease?
Createst?
No, it's spelled G-R-A-T-est.
Gratest.
So they know what a G is.
They do know what a G is.
When it's put to them in lowercase cursive, yeah.
The grattest view.
Grease!
Louis says, a profile of a breast, a large donkey knob, and two spelling mistakes, all for 30 cents.
That's lovely.
I have shown this to pretty much every visitor we've had.
I want to get back to that had I want to get back to that
I want to get back to that this summer
Yeah
Yeah
It's going to be a hot summer
Of donkey knobs and side boob everyone
Enough of all this hot girl summer
Where's donkey dick summer
That's my summer
I predict a donkey dick summer that's my summer i predicted a donkey dick summer
increase he says i've shown this to pretty much every visitor we've had since keep up the excellent
work koji louis thank you louis for that that was very good imagine going to visit louis and he's
like hey good to see you come come look at this look at this look at this hey hey just give me a
second opens a drawer and you hear him like like hey, good to see you. Come, come look at this, look at this, look at this. Hey, hey, just give me a second. He opens a drawer.
And you hear him like thump down into the basement
and pull on one of those chain light bulbs like...
Come on, where is it?
I'll put it down here.
Mary!
Mary!
The postcard!
Where is the postcard?
What? The postcard, Mary! The postcard! Where is the postcard? What?
The postcard, Mary!
Yeah, really putting a lot of pressure on it.
Yeah, when he brings it up,
it's so worn on the edges
from how many people he's shown.
Thank you for that, Louis.
Ryan has sent us some absolutely appalling beer tat.
Wow. Okay, great.
I love beer tat. I love booze tat.
Maybe, I think beer tat is
possibly my favourite.
Like, beer tat, man cave tat,
that is my genre.
That is my PhD.
That's what I want to say.
So, Phil, this is a crossover,
I would say, between beer tat and whackaging
Okay
Okay okay
Is it on the beer itself?
It's on the can
Okay
The tat's coming from inside the can
And it's quite a kind of
Vividly decorated can
Ah
This will be a very strong IPA I imagine
yeah I think so
so shall I just read it to you
because it's like a whole paragraph
okay go for it
go ahead pick me up
no
look good don't I
yuck not anymore
not anymore
I put on my funkiest shirt this morning to catch your attention
How do people sleep at night?
When they came up with something like this
I've heard it's a technique called peacocking
Fucking hell
It gets worse with every sentence
I am full of a delicious, aromatic,
sessionable pale ale.
Mm-hmm. Knew it.
Knew it! If this sounds a bit like
I'm whispering in your ear all creepily,
remember, I'm just a beer can
and it's all in your head.
It's awful!
It's awful. I'm being gaslit by Tat. It's awful I'm being gaslit by tat
It's awful
And you know what I love tat
But I hate wackaging because wackaging
Is
It's committee tat
It's committee approved corporate tat
And I think
I think tat has become
Too corporate
It's tat that thinks it's clever, goddammit.
I hate it.
If you think I'm being creepy, shut up.
Yeah, you haven't tricked me.
I don't love you now.
Shut up.
So it says, now stop talking to yourself and drink me.
And then the last bit is,
I'm made from ingredients in a non-fashionable
part of North London.
Ugh.
Ugh.
Non-fashionable.
I want to hit myself
over the head with the beer. Really disgusting.
Really unpleasant, actually. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
Disgusting. Horrible. Probably
quite a nice beer, unfortunately.
And, you know, I'm someone who loves a punk IPA
but has to close his eyes
so I don't read any of the writing on the can.
I have to close my...
do my absolute best not to catch any of the wackity.
Yeah, really gross.
Thank you for that.
That was horrible.
We have some good tat for you to guess
from March Walliams from my Twitch
stream has sent us some tat.
He says, hi Podfartas.
Thank you.
Fabulous bit of tat for Pierre to make
Phil guess the contents of. Crudely screen grabbed
because I can't handle the fresh hell
that will be unleashed on my online presence
if I click the link.
Okay, yeah.
Yep, yep. What is it?
It is a t-shirt.
Mm-hmm.
And
there's a lot of fonts happening.
Mm-hmm.
And it says
once upon
a time, there was a what?
A lot of fun stuff happening.
Once upon a time, there was a little girl?
A girl, yeah, a girl.
You got it.
Once upon a time, there was a girl who really loved blank and blank.
Oh, blank and Blank
Is it one of these random
Whatever your interests are
The algorithm puts them into the shirt
It could be
It's not as insane as often when you see those
Generated and it'll say once upon a time there was a girl
Who really loved jet skiing
And Steve Buscemi.
Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved... There was a girl who loved...
Who really loved.
Who really loved Prosecco?
No booze.
Who really loved...
Really loved...
Shopping.
You've got to think nerdier.
This is for people who are like, I'm just like an introvert.
Introverts are the best, aren't they?
Okay, Harry Potter.
Less specific. Really really love books.
Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi.
Yep.
Once upon a time, an old girl who really loved books.
And?
And science.
I think more internet.
Even more internet than science.
More internet than science?
Books and computers?
No, no.
More internet.
Okay. Books and computers No no more internet Books
Okay books and
Memes
Oh you're so close even bigger than memes
Wow books and
What's bigger than memes Pierre
What is bigger than memes
Books and posts?
Cats.
It's cats.
Cats.
Cats.
I'd say cats is a subset of memes, to be honest.
I don't know, because you can get lots of Twitter accounts that are just cat pictures
without any memeable element.
Okay, fair enough.
That was my logic anyway. Books and cats.
So, once upon a time there was a girl
who really loved books and cats.
It was me, the end.
That's the t-shirt
and it's a picture of a cat asleep on some books
and some flowers as well.
I actually don't mind that.
I don't know why, but I don't mind
that t-shirt.
I really don't mind it.
Maybe it's because I like books and cats,
Pierre. That's true, the end.
The end, it was me. It was me, the end.
That's a good
cat attack.
Cat attack!
Cat attack. Yeah, cat attack. Cat attack. Cat attack.
So...
Okay, one last thing.
Ollie gets in touch.
Ollie, what a folly to send us an email.
He says, dear P and Pooh.
Yep, classic, love it.
I write with grave news. Vegans have launched their tat attack they've
joined oh of course are they probably tattooing it on their on their vegan bodies that's that's
their tat attack tattoo attack attached is the mug of a militant vegan i have to work with
oh yeah yeah yeah, yeah. Okay.
Okay, I reckon I can guess.
I'm going to try and whisper this time.
Can I try and whisper this time?
Okay. Okay.
So it's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven words.
Yeah.
Any artwork?
No artwork, just words.
I'll say...
One font?
The first three words are, I don't words are I don't eat.
I don't eat.
And then there's four more words.
I don't eat blank, blank, blank, blank.
I don't eat meat.
Neither should you.
No, it's trying to
it's trying to be a bit funnier
than that but still
still um appropriately
for the type of person that ollie is describing
uh appropriately pass
ag okay
so um
okay so it'd be something like i don't
eat
something that blah blah, I don't eat something that blah blah, right?
I don't eat anything that makes a noise or anything that can speak.
Oh, you're so close.
It is I don't eat anything blank blank blank.
You've got anything.
I don't eat anything.
I don't eat anything.
anything I don't eat anything
I don't eat anything
that can eat
you're so close
that's so close
think about the end
of the process you just described
I don't eat anything
that can poop
yes yes yes
I don't eat anything that can poo yes we're so close yes yes yes I
I don't need anything
that can shit yeah like
you're close like
conceptually close I mean
okay
I don't need anything that
it's not that
oh I don't eat
anything
who can poo it's not it's not a it's it's not the action it's
the equipment i don't need anything with an a yes ah yes thank you thank you
i don't need anything with an arsehole okay anything with an arsehole Okay
I don't eat anything with an arsehole
Neither do I, I use my mouth
That's for you Oli
For work
Yeah you tell them Oli
You write that on your mug
In scrawled crayon
In blood
In blood, In animal blood.
Right, in animal blood.
A new each day.
I don't eat anything with an R, sir.
Yeah, and to be fair, I said there was no artwork,
but there is a little dot on the O of the word whole
as if to imply that it itself is an anus.
Ah, yuck.
Yeah.
Yuck.
Yeah, which is, it's, I mean, it's a shame, isn't it, that mug? Yuck Yuck Yeah Which is It's
I mean it's a shame
Isn't it that mug
It's a shame
Leave it at home
I'd say
Leave it at home
Also just don't harass
Your colleagues about
Their
Beliefs
Or food
Yeah it's also
Off-putting
It's just
It's just plain
Unappetizing to be reminded of.
Eh, assholes.
Or just like...
I wonder if Ollie would get in more trouble for saying,
I eat assholes, and then winking.
Yeah, they're actually being very sex negative.
They're shaming Rimmers.
They really, really are are and that's not okay
if you can't stand up for animal rights
without shaming Rimmers
well then I don't want any part
of your crusade
stop Rimm shaming
lovely stuff, great to be reacquainted with Tat Stop rim shaming Lovely stuff
Great to be reacquainted with Tat
Yeah
And Ollie says he doesn't have a great poo story
But age 7 I once really needed a wee during circle time
Circle time?
What's circle time?
Yes in the decadent west Phil
Children are given a sort of circle time
And I
I think I did it at some point.
I have very faint memories of it.
But it's something to do with...
You talk about your alcoholism?
School report?
Yeah, you're in CAA.
And he says he didn't have the dinosaur toy,
so he wasn't allowed to speak.
There you go.
Oh, okay.
So he couldn't say
I need to go to the toilet
I need a piss
he said I wrongly assumed I could just piss a full Bladdersworth covertly
just
sneak it out slowly enough that it evaporates
so I ended up wearing
lost property shorts of a presumably fully grown adult given
the insane size of them very nice all the more space to pee in that's right and you can fit so
much pee into these babies uh keep up the good work the pod's been a real light-hearted pick
me up throughout this year thank you and ko Thank you, Ollie, for the vegan tat.
Yes, thanks, Ollie.
Thank you, Ollie.
It wasn't a fault.
And I don't care that Ollie has an arsehole.
I'll eat him.
That's right.
That's right.
Your email didn't have an arsehole, Ollie,
but that means that we can eat it up without any guilt.
Maybe the vegan really person in that
who has that mug really loves assholes and that it's a sympathetic think of the assholes
i don't understand like they they want them to be not eaten they're like think of the poor assholes
yeah yeah yeah cut the asshole off at least yeah well they also misunderstand butchery
because you really must cut off the arsehole
they're just being
they're just calling for more cautious butchers
they're a cautious butchery advocate
that would be a funny thing
great stuff
thank you so much for sending in the tat everyone
yes thank you for the tat guys
and we will slowly work our way through the mountains of tat and correspondence as well great stuff. Thank you so much for sending in the tat, everyone. Yes, thank you for the tat, guys.
And we will slowly work our way through the mountains of tat and correspondence
as well. You know, never lose heart.
It could be you.
Pointing a gun
at you, like in that tat.
The next tat could be from you!
That's right.
There's nothing worth dying for here, boy.
There's no tat worth dying for here.
Didn't you read my terrifying shirt?
Do you think those people with the terrifying shirts,
when they get home, they take them off and put on a plain shirt
because they don't need to threaten anyone?
Or do you think they wear those shirts at home? I think they get home and they put on a plain shirt because they don't need to threaten anyone or do you think they wear those shirts at home
I think they get home and they put on a sitting
at home themed shirt
and all over the back it says I'm here
to watch TV on the couch with my
wife in huge letters
alright everyone
keep jacking everything
coach you guys bye bye
bye bye
