It's Budpod 151!
151 Palindrome Baby!
It is a palindrome baby, and I'm going to say that 151 written down to me looks athletic.
It does.
Yes, the ones look like pole vault poles, and the five is a running man!
Running between poles. Or maybe the ones are the start and the finish line, and the five is a man or woman mid-run between the two.
Yeah.
That's what a caveman would call the number five.
The running man.
There was a running man amount of ox in the field.
Today I saw Running Man coyotes.
Ah, that's 151.
Yeah, just nice.
Just a nice number.
Striped almost.
Just nice. Yeah, it's a nice number. Striped almost. Just nice.
Yeah, it's a lovely number. I think I made
a historical mistake there
because a prehistoric man would
not have seen a coyote, right?
Because coyotes are
native to the Americas?
I guess it's still prehistory though.
But, yeah. But were the people... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess it's still prehistory though But yeah
But were the
Were the people
They came over I think just after the Ice Age
Or during the Ice Age
There's some debate they're finding older and older remains
That's right
Because I always thought it was
The Native Americans got there when the
Bering Strait was still frozen over
So they could literally walk Across from the tip of Mongolia.
But I think they've predated some.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I think it's even older than that, boy.
And that's the reason a lot of Native Americans look so...
And South Americans look so Chinese.
There's a lot of Chinese...
There's a lot of similar genetics between the Chinese and the native americans um or so i've heard or so you've heard from old big chief wang yes yes what
would my native american name because is it true that it's the first thing if your father sees as
he leaves the birthing tent or something like that i've heard it was the first thing if your father sees as he leaves the birthing tent or something like that i've
heard it was the first thing your mother saw but then like the trouble with all this stuff is that
whenever you watch an american movie like cowboy film or whatever they always go like uh this is
how the the indians work or whatever and it's always about like this one tribe in this one
creek yeah exactly yeah so everyone's got all these ideas about Native Americans,
and it's just exclusively the more cowboy ones,
like the Sioux or the Apache,
or maybe Choctaw Creek,
or the kind of Midwest action ones,
whereas you can get the Native Americans
who are up in Washington State or Oregon,
and they're different.
Yeah. They're just chill man uh would you ever consider filming one of those series where you go around
uh exploring remote tribes like that guy
which guy i can't remember his name. Ben something is an English guy,
and he would go and hang out with these very remote tribes.
I think the show was literally called Tribe.
I think no, to be honest.
I'm interested, but I'm not interested enough to sleep on the ground.
Yeah.
Although the truth is they're probably all staying in hotels.
I wonder.
Well, Tribe, here we go.
Tribe, a British TV series
hosted by former British Royal Marine
Bruce Parry.
Yeah, well, it's okay if you're a Marine.
I think a Marine has...
Yeah, they're equipped.
He's got the skills.
I think he went kind of viral
because there was a Tribe where you have to try and...
I swear this is him.
You have to try and kind of put your dick inside your body.
What?
Literally go fuck yourself?
What are you talking about?
I swear.
I could never...
Yeah, it is.
It is.
What? I knew I... Yeah, it is. It is. What?
I knew I hadn't dreamt this.
He said on TV,
sometimes you've got to put your dick inside yourself.
He said,
sometimes you have to put your dick inside your body.
This is jackass.
And he jumped off a bridge.
No, he...
In a bid to be accepted by the Combai men,
Bruce Parry undergoes a painful penis inversion ritual.
Ooh!
Penis inversion?
Yeah, they're Papuan.
Papuan.
The Combai.
Right.
And what does that involve, putting the...
Like, is your penis usable afterwards, or is it gone?
Is it lost inside yourself?
I don't know.
I think it just pops in there.
Just pop it in.
Is that why they call it the popper one?
The popper one.
Yeah, the popper one.
You pop a one inside yourself.
Oh, man.
When I hear stuff like that, I think,
I'm glad I'm not in a tribe.
There's many times, actually, in my life I just go,
you know what, I'm really glad I'm not in a tribe somewhere
because it looks difficult.
Is it the Maasai or is it a more obscure African tribe where there's
this
pairing festival
ceremony where the men have to just
hop on a spot
until a woman
picks them.
And they can be hopping there for hours.
Maybe I've conflated the hopping Maasai.
It's the Maasai who do the hopping.
They do a jumping dance thing.
Yeah.
Yeah, some kind of endurance test.
And they can be doing it for hours
before a lady walks up and goes,
okay, you're all right.
You're good at jumping.
Yeah, but I can't remember which one.
Yeah.
To be fair, that's the same as a regional nightclub when you jump around.
That is true.
That's exactly how it works.
It's just Tiger Tiger, isn't it?
It's just, sounds like a Friday night
in central
London.
No, apparently
they do just pop the dicks back inside
until it's time to use them again
what?
right so they just pop them in
and they stay there until
they're called upon
yeah like a dog
I hate this
is that right?
I hate this
I don't want to hear about that
it's I remember seeing it on TV
and just being like
I'm having trouble even imagining what's happening
and people still talk about male privilege
Pierre
tell that to the come by
yeah
or is it privilege is it to have to put your penis up inside yourself
until it's needed into your is it, to have to put your penis up inside yourself? To push your penis into your whole body.
Into your whole body.
There must be, like, this inverse culture where the men who are very proud,
the men who are very cocky are the ones with the smallest penises
because they have the least discomfort.
Yeah, they have the easiest um getting dressed uh um routine
yeah like people guys go to each other hey did you see um what might one of the names be do you
know what a combined name would be um alan alan let's say alan yeah do you see uh have you seen
alan's penis and the other guy's like no why and then they do that
with their thumb
and their forefinger
like the small penis symbol
yeah
and the other guy goes
really
like he's impressed
yeah
and he'd be like
he goes like
lucky bastard
and he'd be like
I get so much more done
rather than spending
four hours so he doesn't feel it at all yeah rather than spending four hours each
morning trying to like punch my own dick back inside my body and fainting repeatedly oh so
they have to do it every day well i don't know i mean it seems like it's something like once you
can do it you can do it that's the impression i get right and in fairness i did just think of this
because you know how the jungle is full of stuff, right?
Yeah, it's packed.
Every time I go in the jungle, I'm like,
Horda is just so much crap everywhere.
Marie Kondo would have a field day in a jungle.
Holding up a sloth and asking if it brings you joy.
And then sort of calmly
saying thank you to it as she puts it in a
bin saying thank you to the
sloth folding it up popping it in the bin
as it sort of goes
and kind of
tries to claw the air vaguely
she very calmly folds it and just sort of
crushes its bones
she's incredibly strong
Yes it's the folding
Yeah it's all about folding
Forearms like Popeye
Oh yeah
But if I lived in the jungle like these tribes
Guys right
Yeah
You're walking around in a loincloth right
Your dick and your DNBs are just exposed to the jungle.
Yes, yes, it's true.
But, I mean, there's a benefit to that in such a hot climate.
It's a way of expelling heat, right?
That's why your balls descend when it's hot.
It's because it increases your surface area.
You're letting off heat.
So if you're getting your whole dick inside, you're conserving more heat.
Yeah, but think of all the
Creepy crawlies and diseases
And animals
Right
And I can imagine after enough days
In a row in the jungle surrounded by spiders
And wasps and tarantulas and whatever else
Just going like right I'm popping it in
Yeah yeah that's true actually
It's getting in the way
It's going to get nicked by a
panther yeah i'm popping i'm just for pure weirdly these guys are coming across now as more pragmatic
to me yeah maybe we're the dummies yeah they're it's like one of those cultural exchanges where
i'm sure in the show he said oh in in England, everyone's dicks are just out.
And they're like, duh.
Yeah.
But what happens, what if you get an unexpected boner?
Are you like, oh, no.
And it just goes.
Like a champagne cork.
Yeah, or like a turkey when it's done in the oven
little red the moment thing i mean it must be maybe they have like a
special bit of etiquette for that eventuality um god yeah i don't know and then
yeah how easy it must be pretty easy for them to just live like
that like once they've done it but i mean yeah you get used to it you get used to it
maybe now that guy bruce parry can freak it out if he goes to like a tailor right
and the tailor says uh does sir dress to the left or to the right? And you can be like, neither.
I dress to the inside.
I dress internally and the tailor just faints.
Let's just say you and I have a different definition for the inside leg.
Let's just say at the moment my penis is measured in the negative length. Just popped it in there.
Good stuff.
Good stuff Well I think we can both agree that
Neither one of us want to move to
The Papua section of Papua New Guinea
And join the penis inversion tribe
So that's one tribe down
No I mean between
The penis inversion and the
Cannibalism I have to say
Papua New Guinea has never
Really appealed
Yeah they did
Are they still doing the
cannibalism?
I think if anywhere is, they are.
I think it's...
Reportedly, apparently.
Okay.
Allegedly. Allegedly don't get sued
by Papua New Guinea.
Allegedly.
You don't want to get sued
by a potential cannibal.
By big Papua.
Yes, by a big cannibal. A big Papua. Yes, by Big Cannibal.
Big Cannibal will get you, and then some.
That'll be the next
Joe Rogan thing. Eating people
is actually really good for you.
Have you tried the cannibal diet?
It's the best pure protein.
Can we bring that up, Jamie?
Jamie, could you bring up the cannibals?
It's like, think about it.
What's got more muscle than humans?
Your body doesn't even have to change anything.
Your body can just take human muscle.
It doesn't even have to digest.
It can just put it straight into muscle.
It's like Lego bricks.
Yeah.
Oh, my god.
We should start some kind of
what would we sell as a health supplement?
Probably that weird spam advert for how to fully
empty your bowels, right? Something like that.
Yeah, I guess to be
on brand, it would have to be that.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, and congratulations to
some of the Patreon subscribers who have just
got their first merchandise, Bud Pods stickers.
Yes!
What a lovely
little treat. Congrats.
Yeah, just popping the
founding farter up around the house.

Don't be silly.
Listen to Philly.
Put your willy inside you, Billy.
Well, do you think Russia's going to invade Ukraine?
Ah.
I keep going between yes and no, to be honest.
If the Kremlin's trying to do some kind of confusion campaign,
well, congratulations, Vlad.
It's worked on old Pierre here.
It does feel like Ukraine is very much Russia's Taiwan.
They're going to gain a lot more from threatening to invade than from actually invading.
Yeah.
Because, I mean, it's not going to be easy for them. a lot more from threatening to invade than from actually invading. Yeah. Right.
Because, I mean, it's not going to be easy for them.
Yeah.
I mean, well, it's hard to tell, isn't it?
It's hard to tell, like, how much support,
how much of actual material support the US and UK will give to Ukraine
if that does happen.
Well, we've sort of already given it.
I mean, Ukraine's got a bunch of stuff that will make life
very difficult. It's got the M-Laws and the
Stinger missiles and the
Javelin
missile launchers and stuff
and the Turkish drones.
Was it Liz Truss that came up with a sort of
funky way of describing
the weapons the UK
brought over?
Was it like violent aid or something like that? We've was it? Like, violent aid or something like that?
We sent over a bunch of violent aid
or something like that.
It was like lethal aid, I think.
Lethal aid, that was it.
Lethal aid.
Lethal aid.
So funny, man.
It's a sequel to Lethal Weapon.
It's Mel Gibson going crazy in a in a food uh a food hall flipping out in a camp
um yeah lethal aid um yeah i don't know man i mean it i feel bad for ukraine because like
they've pointed out that like russia that kind of doesn't need to do anything but just by seeming
like it's going to invade they could could just crash the Ukrainian stock market economy,
investors leave.
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, already the US and UK have said,
no need to panic, everyone,
but if you're British or American, get out of Ukraine ASAP.
Yeah.
It's bad when they remove all the diplomatic staff except the ambassador.
Oh, that's a tough job.
That's a real...
Yeah, that's like Captain of the Titanic.
Yeah.
But then it's like, no, I'm sure it'll all be fine.
But just to be safe, we're going to literally remove people whose only job is to be in Ukraine and know about Ukraine.
Oh, they're removing the ambassadors as well?
Not yet. I think, like, they're removing the ambassadors as well? Not yet.
I think, like, they're leaving behind a few people, but all the
ambassadorial staff, like, loads
of diplomatic staff have been removed by
UK, US, and Germany. And a few
more.
As in, like, if you're a secretary
there's no need for you to be kidnapped and tortured
or whatever. Like, it's generally a bad sign
that they're like leaving the
captain on the ship as you say
yeah
but um
it's good to see
it's a rough one but it's
good to see that as ever
there are plenty of people
plenty of people in our own
country here in the UK who say that they're progressive
but are really
basically happy for Russia to invade
and take over whoever they want
yes
the communist queens
yes
yeah I can't think of anyone
it's mad isn't it
well I mean
it's better than Ukraine joining the neo-imperialist NATO.
Yeah, evil NATO, what with not really doing anything apart from stopping that genocide in the 90s and reassuring some Estonians.
Evil, terrible, horrible. hestonians evil terrible horrible yeah it's yeah i mean it's it's kind of like a fantasy for um
for all those uh commies yeah which is weird because it'd be like a it'd be like a win
yes marxist win yeah which is weird because i can't think of anyone less interested in sharing
wealth than than putin yeah well you saw that drone footage of his
literal palace oh man if you if you're listening to this and you haven't seen the the blueprints
and photos from like inside his black sea palace check it out because it's real you know what fair
play he didn't try not to make it seem like he wasn't a Bond villain.
He really lent in.
There's rooms with weird national decor.
There's a sort of Arabian Nights room with a stripper pole.
It's great.
It's the size of a town.
It's mad.
It's mad, it's mad, it's mad.
I'm going to type Putin Black Sea Palace.
It's... Yeah, I mean, like... If you're going to do it Black Sea Palace It's Yeah I mean
If you're going to do it
You have to do it
Go big or go home
Go big or go home
Yes
The cost of the build is estimated to be
Over 1.35 billion dollars
I mean that's a lot of money
Come on
That's building on your own as well
That's from scratch
That's not with like
Appreciation of property value
That's from scratch
That's DIY
It's the final level of a
Hitman game
A giant isolated palace where the head
villain lives. I mean, bloody hell.
Yeah, but the response of the Russian people...
I mean, there's some people who like protests and stuff,
but overall people were like,
well, yeah, we're kind of...
You'd hope so.
Yeah, I mean,
I don't think any
Russians thought that he didn't
have a secret palace
and they were like
what a palace
yeah
I mean there's nowhere
easier to hide a palace in Russia
that's where you want to hide a palace
that's where if you're going to be hiding palaces
all day this is what you want
it's got like a main hall with like murals, like a French aristocrat's
house, you know, with the little
indented squares with like scenes from nature.
Oh, okay.
Painted on.
Would you have a palace or would you like...
I guess if you...
It's one of those things where
as long as you have a load of...
a fucking fleet of people to maintain it, it is just
like nothing but benefits. But if you're... people to maintain it, it is just like nothing but benefits.
But if you don't, it must just suck.
I would love a smaller National Trust property.
I'd love a National Trust home, but not a massive one.
It's the grounds and the old bricks and the history and the gardens but after a certain point
it becomes bankrupting yeah yeah because you'd be like earning all your income just to pay for
like the guy whose job is to to refit the crumbling brick work also get spooky after a certain point
it becomes spooky i want a small
mansion that's my dream small mansion would be lovely lockdown in one of those would have been
terrifying you just felt like you were going mad in a victorian novel like an isolated oh yeah
it felt like you were in the others with nicole kidman yes yes exactly oh yeah god i don't know
i think some of the mansions i've i've, like, on TV or film or online or whatever,
that I've been most envious of, it's like sometimes you'll see, like, there's, like,
a mansion, but it's in, like, Central Park in New York.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And you sort of think, oh.
I'll look like a Hamptons mansion, like, in succession.
That'd be cool.
Yeah.
Or somewhere where it's, like, oh, I can't believe that you've got, like, a swimming
pool and a garden and, like, not too many rooms in a house so it's like a haunted house but
also you're just near stuff you're in the city still whereas those guys who have a mansion in
like the middle of uh fucking minnesota you know in the middle of the prairie. You just think, well, I guess you have a mansion, but...
It's just like nothing between you and the horizon as far as the eye can see.
Like desolate flatland.
Yeah.
What you want is like a really big, lush townhouse in London somewhere.
Gosh, that'd be so great.
That's why the oligarchs get them, man.
That's why they're so expensive. Because they're so great.
Well, do you know why
those are so expensive? Why?
Because they're so great.
That's me.
I just do these random free tours
in Kensington and Chelsea.
You see that over there?
Yeah. It's really expensive.
Oh, right. Do you know why it's so expensive?
Because it's so great.
That's the estate agent talking to someone
who's had their opponents killed
in Russia.
Here's the thing, Mr.
You know, whatever.
I'm even too afraid to guess
A random Russian name
In case it's a real mobster's name
Yeah
I'll just say
Sir, here's the thing, sir
This central London townhouse
Is 10.5
Million pounds
And do you know why it costs that much?
No, why? Because it's great. It's great!
And then as I say that,
as I say it's great,
I do a little pirouette in the marble hallway.
Because it's great!
I spin round.
Spin round.
Speaking of Russian
mobs, last night, on my own,
for a treat, I watched John Wick for the first time.
Oh, yes.
With Keanu Reeves.
It was great.
It's so good.
What an action film.
Such a good action film.
It's so nice to see an action film.
I mean, there's nothing there that's new story-wise.
There's nothing that's going to push the envelope or blow your mind.
But it's just such a good action film.
I mean,
the stunt work and the gunfire
and the fighting, it's just...
Gunplay,
which always sounds like you're having
a wank with a pistol, but
the gunplay, the martial arts,
and one thing,
what I always do now is I watch a movie
and then I go and watch the mark commode
review of the movie to check whether or not i actually liked it to see if you're right
you see if i was right and it wasn't mark as the scottish guy who sometimes does them he's very good
as well um and he's going on about it and he pointed out and i didn't notice that that with
a lot of action films like the born identity or something when there's a big action scene
the camera's really close
and like
and like swinging about
and you can only
kind of just see
what's going on
a lot of cuts
and there aren't any
many sort of long takes
but in
John Wick
it's like
the camera just stays still
for a bit
or like moves slowly
down the hallway
and it's all one take
like a
pa pa ta pa pa
pa pa pa pa
and it's really good
it's like Raid it's just good it made me think of the Raid it totally really good it's like Raid
it made me think of the Raid
it totally made me think of the Raid
any pod buds who haven't seen the Raid if you like an action movie
if you like martial arts
the Raid is amazing
it's Indonesian by a Welsh director
who lived out there
yeah the Raid
it's Silat is the name of the martial art
which is of the Indonesian Malay martial art.
Oh, cool.
Yeah, which is like a lot of daggers and stuff as a part of it.
And it's brutal.
It's so brutal, the martial arts in it.
It was really good.
Well, that's the thing is that with Keanu Reeves
and whoever else is in John Wick doing the martial arts,
they obviously had confidence where they were like,
well, these are some fucking amazing martial arts,
so we're just going to let you see them.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's good stuff.
If you have watched John Wick,
then why not treat yourself, pod buds,
and just watch footage on YouTube of Keanu Reeves
training with guns on Firing Rangers
and just being really good at guns
and being really calm and humble about how good he is at guns.
He's a very calm guy.
He's very calm.
He's a calming screen presence.
He's a calming...
Yeah.
Even when he's, like, killing people,
you're kind of like, he's really zen.
You're like...
Yeah.
He's like the Marie Kondo of killing.
He's just calmly folding up bad guys
Popping them in the bin
Well he's half Japanese
So I'm not surprised
Is he half Japanese?
Maybe a quarter
Maybe
Will Google let me Google
Keanu Reeves race
Keanu Reeves is Canadian
No
Another one And he was born in Beirut Japanese is Canadian. Keanu Reeves is Canadian! No. Really?
No. Another one!
And he was born in Beirut?
Keanu Reeves. Stop
surprising me. No.
Born in Lebanon to an English mother and an
American father.
Okay, his father was mixed Chinese.
His father was mixed Chinese,
Hawaiian, English, Irish, and Portuguese.
He's a quarter Japanese, a quarter Chinese, a quarter native Hawaiian
and a mere quarter white, Pierre.
Good lord.
Wow, wow, wow.
That's so cool.
He's half East Asian.
He doesn't look it.
But then I don't know what native Hawaiian looks like.
It looks like Polynesian, I guess, or Austronesian.
Yeah, goddamn.
What a cool mixture from a cool guy.
Yeah, that's great. Nice one.
Born in Beirut.
Although that is from Quora.com.
I don't know how reliable Quora is.
It's on the wiki.
Oh, okay, nice. It's on the wiki. Oh, okay. Nice.
It's on the wiki.
I wonder... Yeah.
God. But I mean, like, imagine
how easy it was to cast them in John Wick. They were like,
who do we know who already knows martial
arts and every gun? Probably that
triple matrix guy.
Who literally says in the movie,
I know Kung Fu.
Yeah, that was his audition.
He sent them that bit and they were like,
you heard it from the man himself, gentlemen.
Straight out of a horse's mouth.
We've got our John Wick.
Shall we do some Kung Fu respondents?
Yes, Kung Fu Respondents. Letters, emails, phone calls, tweets, your sister, your best friend,
to who you want to send letters.
Correspondence.
Scrolling down to Correspondence Town.
Having a little scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling.
Word keeps scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. Come on. Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling What? Keep scrolling, scrolling, scrolling Come on!
Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling
I like it
Hey fellas!
It's scrolling right here
There was a moment when I thought
Rolling by
Limp Bizkit, wasn't it?
Yeah
Yeah, Rolling by Limp Bizkit
Was the greatest song in the world
Because it was the greatest song in the world because there's the
undertaker song oh yeah it had a driving rock rhythm to it and it was just about a bunch of
guys rolling around keep rolling rolling rolling and roll and roll they did phil it was when
undertaker um had the transformation from uh the natural evolution of
the gravedigger from gravedigger to motorbike man and he he would enter the ring by driving
his harley down the ramp hence rolling oh yeah oh yeah his finishing move went from the tombstone To the
I would say more boring last ride
Which was just a power bomb
With a little more elevation
Yeah good memory
It was boring
Thank you
But then he went back to the original
Undertaker and the tombstone came back
And I was glad of it because the tombstone is just, it's a lovely finishing
move.
Yes, yeah, well I mean that's the sort of thing you
want for the old video game version too.
Tombstone, Piledriver, yeah
lovely stuff.
So
Matt, another Matt gets a touch.
Matt, Matt
Matt a touch? Matt. Matt. Oh, God. He's
back. It's Matt. Unless it's a different Matt.
Oh, he's back. All right.
He says, Dear Dom Pierre
and mental illness.
Lovely.
But thematically inconsistent.
Champagne and just mental illness. Yeah, I was really expecting something to do with wine and he just champagne and just mental illness yeah i was really expecting
something to do with wine and he just went straight for mental illness maybe you've had
so much champagne you've gone mad maybe that's the story yeah yeah like winston churchill or something
real pain for my sham friends and champagne for my mental illness
that's good tat that's good tat um so he says dear don pierre and yana mental illness. That's a good tat. That's a good tat.
So he says,
Dear Don Pierignano, mental illness,
Matt the Splat here.
Oh, Matt the Splat.
Sorry, I should recognize the voice.
Of Dubberia slash Fart into a Fan
and Orangutan voyeurism fame.
These are ringing faint bells, yes.
Yeah, the orangutan was watching him through the little
window. This is ringing a
splat, yeah. Yeah.
Hope you're both well. I was recently harking back to
my university days and was reminded of a particular
evening that might be of interest.
I was in fresh as week and all was
going swimmingly.
I had made some new friends, spent a whole
month's budget on alcohol and had gained half a stone
from indulging daily in the five
types of potato that the cafeteria
inexplicably served with every meal.
Wow.
Wow, that is a lot of attention given to the
potato. Yeah, man.
Certain cafeteria-style establishments
lean in to potato
varieties.
Then came the three-legged
bar crawl.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you're tied to a fella.
Yep. On the morning of this
staple coming-of-age ceremony, I was feeling utterly
dreadful, having spent
the previous evening drinking cider that had originated
from a mysterious jerry can.
Ooh. Blimey.
That's very
sinister. Hmm.
Was he sure it wasn't just petrol?
Yeah, it could have been.
Oil cider.
As per tradition, I
waited until I could face food again and then ordered
myself a massive, excessively meaty
Domino's pizza.
Lovely. Although ruinous a Domino's pizza. Lovely. Although
ruinous, a Domino's pizza. Those things
are like £30
for no reason. Those things
will put you into debt. Yeah.
Domino debt. Very strange. Strangely expensive.
Just as the delicious doughy disc from
the gods summoned themselves
started to make me feel human again,
I was summoned to the bar to begin the three-legged crawl.
I found myself
tied at the knee to my new friend, Ben.
Ah, nice.
An affable fellow.
Ben.
Bens at university are always nice.
Yeah, they are, actually.
I don't think I've ever met a bad Ben.
I don't think I've ever met a bad Ben.
That's a good point.
Bens are always nice. ever met a bad Ben. That's a good point. Bens are always nice.
Is there a bad Ben?
Ben Laden?
No, I don't know.
Osama Ben Laden.
Osama Ben Laden?
Osama Ben Laden?
Benito Mussolini, I guess guess is the worst Ben I know
Not personally
Yeah
It's a good theory
I found myself tired of the need
To my new friend Ben
An affable fellow who was up for a laugh
And seemingly largely unfazed by anything
Sadly
Ben was soon to become very phased indeed
Oh no All began well A pint at our college bar Fantastic Ben. Sadly, Phil, Ben was soon to become very phased indeed.
Oh, no.
All began well.
A pint at our college bar,
followed by a merry three-legged stroll down the hill to the next bar,
and on to the next, and so on.
Sounds good.
As we left the fifth bar,
I started to realize the pizza I had eaten earlier, the very same that had raised me from the dead like a savory son of God
raising a lardy Lazarus,
was soon to be my dinner. Ah, God raising a lardy Lazarus was soon to be my death
lovely stuff
the combination of multiple
beers and an entire large dominoes had led
to an uncomfortably bloated stomach and I knew
that the inevitable was coming
standing outside
the bar as the rest of the slightly
inebriated leg joint pairings
ambled out I turned to Ben and said
I really shouldn't have had an entire large
Domino's before this.
Ben looked at me
and paused with mild panic in his eyes.
Are you alright? He asked.
Um, I
think I'm going to be sick, I replied,
feeling the beer-soaked stodge of the pizza
slowly working its way up my windpipe.
Yeah, yeah.
It's gonna go that way.
Yeah.
At this, Ben turned white as a sheet.
Are you joking? He asked, voice wobbling.
I sadly shook...
Are you joking?
He asked, voice wobbling.
I sadly shook my head, knowing full well what was about to happen.
Because seriously, mate,
I really cannot stand the sight or smell of... At which point
I bent over, opened my mouth,
and what can only be described
as a tsunami of half-digested
dough, meat, and beer erupted from my mouth
onto the paving stones,
splattering both my shoes and trousers
and indeed Ben's.
Oh, poor Ben.
Once the tsunami had subsided, I righted
myself again, just in time to hear Ben say,
Oh, fuck!
before he then bent over.
And vomited powerfully all over himself and me.
Oh, fuck!
This then helped to upset whatever was left in my stomach,
and down I went again.
Hilarious.
That's a real double act.
What a great...
Yeah.
It's smashing on the vaudeville circuit.
Absolutely.
A standing ovation.
Well, funny you should say that.
So he says,
The crowd of other freshers, having previously cheered my performance,
now started to just watch with dismay
as Ben and I alternated
between being vomiting on the ground,
uprighting ourselves,
and then bending over to vomit again,
like a sinister perpetual motion machine.
Like a fun little...
They're the opposite of those office bird things,
like toys that dip and drink water.
They're pouring it out.
Yeah.
Eventually, all that could conceivably
come up had done so.
The mild concern of the crowd watching us soon subsided
and we wandered off to the next pub.
It's amazing how quickly you brush stuff off at that age.
Oh, you just go, well, there's no reason to go home.
If anything, I've just freed up space Yeah but not before grabbing some branches
Off a nearby bush and scraping as much
Vomit as we could into a drain
Well I guess that's kind of
Considerate
Now with empty tanks and renewed vigor
Ben and I continued our journey heartily
With the travails of the fifth bar behind us. Unfortunately,
our evening didn't end there.
Much, much later, having
surpassed the beer stage of the evening and moved
on to shots instead, the unfortunate
situation of Ben needing the
loo arose.
Yes, I'm surprised this hasn't come up already.
Yeah. While we had managed
to tackle the urinals with a bit of a giggle and without much difficulty,
this was an altogether more intimate situation.
Yes.
Yes.
Once untied from your partner, the rules of the evening were that you were required to do a forfeit of something horrible.
From memory, cat food was involved.
Oh, God.
Jesus Christ.
This is serious. No thanks. I never
took part in any of this kind of thing.
I never took part. And I'm glad.
Yeah, I mean, I sort of did a
version of this where there was just more booze
involved and everyone was quite reasonable.
Certainly no cat food.
Yeah, I don't... No, I'm not
interested. No. So having already
been covered in each other's vomit,
we decided that proximity to Pooh probably wouldn't matter too much.
Yeah.
You're in for a penny.
Yeah.
We decided that while Ben was doing his business,
I would be in the cubicle with him, but looking the other way.
Yeah.
I like that because it implies that it's a bit like if doing a shit was illegal.
I'll look the other way just this once.
Don't let it happen again. I'll look the other way just this once. Don't let it happen again.
I'll turn the other cheek, yeah.
While we entered the cubicle successfully
and began the process without too much trouble,
what I hadn't counted on was the sheer ferocity of Ben's discharge.
Man.
Nor indeed the smell.
I mean, that would have been my first concern,
would be the smell.
That's what comes to mind instantly.
Yeah.
So powerful was it that my stomach, already upset by its previous treatment,
decided to bring up all of the various beers and shots I'd imbibed since my...
No!
Since my rainbow-coloured yawn a few hours earlier.
Oh, jeez, no. Is it gonna
Yeah.
Uh oh, I said quietly.
Uh oh.
Like a character about to
get into a fight in an anime.
Uh oh.
A single sweat drop on his forehead.
And he goes into like that sort of suspended space
with all the lines and the light.
Yeah.
Or his face goes into total shadow
as he's, like, looking down and away.
Uh-oh.
And there's that really long internal monologue.
Yeah.
Ben is doing a poo, but the smell, it is too much. It is
making me want to vomit but I already vomited early
today. I thought I would have avoided
this by emptying my tank
earlier but I was foolish and drank
more, refilling my tank. Now
I have enough material to vomit again.
They just go over the same details again and again.
Now I will vomit and it will be embarrassing
for both of us but what if I vomit
and that grosses out Ben? Then maybe he will vomit some more. Then it will be embarrassing for both of us But what if I vomit and that grosses out Ben
Then maybe he will vomit some more
Then he will be pooing and vomiting
Oh no I don't know what to do
They can't afford it
That's like half of an anime
Yeah and the mouth moves like a tiny amount
Open and shut but the audio is like
Ah! Ah!
Uh oh I said quietly Before turning to a squatting terrified
Ben and shoving him off the cistern
and vomiting powerfully onto his shit
no
something I think
we've referred to previously
on the podcast as the serpent turf Surf and turf.
I'd forgotten that.
That's awful.
And perfect.
When something like that comes up, referring to that as a surf and turf,
it's so disgusting and perfect. I feel like when a profiler looks at one of hannibal lecter's crimes
like my god it's perfect and the worst thing i've ever seen
yeah i'm so glad another servant turf has come up on the pod yep yep uh this so he's he's he's thrown ben off the
pot and never has a man so eagerly wanted to stick his face into another man's bowl of shit yeah fog
it's just such a funny motion to pick a man off a toilet
so you can really get in close.
Throwing a shitting man off a toilet
so you can shove your head in.
The least natural motion to do ever.
The number of natural instincts
Matt had to overcome in that moment
yeah yeah yeah
this is on the same level
as when the guy had to use a
penknife to chop his own arm off in 127
hours
so
he throws Matt off the bowl
and starts throwing up
He says this so disgusted Ben
Now wedged between the cistern and the wall
And with his trousers around his ankles
That he uprighted himself as best he could
And also vomited into the bowl
Oh my god
Jesus Christ
I think by volume
This has to be
The most of any correspondence Just by volume of effluent Yeah I think by volume, this has to be the most of any correspondence.
Just by volume of effluent.
Yeah, I think so.
This is the top.
Yeah.
Ben stood up and an eerie...
Huh?
In 151 episodes, this is the most by volume.
I think so.
Most by volume in one incident. guy who had like 24 days of
diarrhea and he was going to die from the old lady in the woods throwing a finger across his throat
that's true wait was that him too no no kind of been the orangutan one was different i think
anyway ben stood up and an eerie silence befell us as we both looked at the group project we had just presented.
Art attack.
This is an art attack.
We have all turned...
This is a nice philosophical sort of bit here from Matt,
which I quite like.
We have all turned with shy curiosity
to examine the decimation we have left after a particularly
bad movement.
The combined sense of both
shame and pride is a rare
treat in an uncaring world.
Like that bit from Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory. So shines a rare treat
in an uncaring world.
But staring into a
toilet bowl of one person's liquid shit and two people's
vomit isn't a moment for pride.
We looked at each other, saying nothing,
but knowing that this would be a memory we would share
forever, together, unspoken,
yet ever-present. And then I turned
away to let Ben wipe. Hugs and kisses
and Koji too. Matt the Splat
and yet more poo.
Well, Matt has lived up to the
name Splat once more.
Once more.
Once again.
That is an extraordinary story.
It's extraordinary.
And it's where we're going to have to end.
It is.
It is.
But what an ending.
Gosh.
What a great story.
Thank you so much for that, Matt.
That was...
Profound.
I love the story of a surf and turf.
And that was the king of the surf and turfs.
Yes. Hemingway-esque. Well done. Yeah. Brilliant stuff. I love the story of a surf and turf And that was the king of the surf and turfs Yes
