It's Budpod169. Hello folks. Hello folks. Phil is away. He is filming. I think I'm allowed to say this because I think it's on the industry website.
Total, as a little announcement. Where's the article? Where's the article?
Oh God. I should have found...
Outsiders.
Yes, it's announced.
David Mitchell series, Outsiders,
where you are outside
and David Mitchell makes you demonstrate
that you can survive the apocalypse.
I think that's it.
Wang's doing that as we speak.
I'm recording this on Monday the 20th of June.
Excuse me.
Wang's off doing that. So Wang... Wang's in the woods. As we speak, I'm recording this on Monday the 20th of June. Excuse me.
Wang's off doing that.
So Wang, Wang's in the woods, surviving, hopefully, fingers crossed.
Hopefully he's not in a sort of 127 hours style situation. I know that he took, I know that he made sure to take a gun, a knife, a sort of scream mask, I think. He said
it was for a film, for a TV show. Joking, of course. Last thing I want is for people to
raid the filming set and arrest Phil for, well, he's many crimes, I suppose. Anyway, by way of
compensation, the reason, normally, I mean, you guys know, we have not let being in different
hemispheres stop us from recording before. However, Wang's in the woods. Even the woods
doesn't have enough Wi-Fi and connection and he couldn't take the microphone. You can imagine,
have enough Wi-Fi and connection and he couldn't take the microphone. You can imagine. He's literally in a tent in the woods and filming all day, of course. Doing... Knifing a squirrel,
I guess? Hunting rabbits? Do you think they make them hunt? I haven't seen the first series,
I have to admit, of Outsiders. Do you think it's better or worse to hunt a rabbit by snaring
it in a kind of classic rabbit hunter way?
Or by sneaking up behind it completely nude but painted in mud like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Predator?
And just cutting the rabbit's throat and going, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, while you do it?
Which is weirder?
That's what I want to know.
Which of those two do you think is the least odd
right
yes so by way of compensation
by way of compensation
you are about to be treated to the bonus
part 166
so this was the bonus part from 166
which was 3 or 4 weeks ago
I think it's a nice little
chunklet and
if you are un listener ordinaire,
you will not have heard it.
And the vast majority of our listeners
are listeners ordinaire.
So, patrons,
bear with us. We hope you enjoy the repeat.
And in the patron...
In the Patreon,
I will be doing a sort of solo nonsense
thing. So, enjoy that.
Also, I have got
lots of gigs I posted about them on my Instagram
lots of gigs coming up lots of previews
at the Bill Murray in London and at
2 North Town in London
working on my show baby
and there's going to be lots more in July as well so
I mean you never know when I'm coming to your
local area people keep saying like oh when you
come to Bristol or when you come to wherever I am
and often the answer is
I was there last week.
People need to be more aware
of what's their local amenities, guys.
You'd be surprised
how many great comedians
you can see down the road
all the time,
at least in the UK.
Anyway, so enjoy the following.
It is bonus pod 166.
It's bonus pod 166.
You turn up at the discreet door down the alley private investigators it says
you're nervous about this
you've never hired a private investigator before
but you're pretty sure your boyfriend
or girlfriend is cheating on you
and you just need to know
so rap-a-tap-tap you knock on the door, rap a tap tap
and there's a little
sliding thing
at eye level that goes
and two eyes appear
and the voice
goes, yes what is it
and you say, I'm here
for the buds
I need the buds
to investigate my boyfriend or girlfriend.
And you break down crying.
And the eyes go, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, calm down.
And the door opens up.
But the person who was there is gone.
It's just a hole.
And you go, oh, okay.
And you walk through.
And you're walking past.
And it's like the paint is peeling and the pipes are clanging.
You're like, oh God, someone needs to fix this building.
And you go up some stairs onto the next floor and then it's like a row of doors with those sort of kind of the glass bit,
but it's sort of murky glass, you know, the kind of,
I don't know,
distorted glass they have on bathrooms or whatever.
And,
and on each,
and on each door,
and on the first door,
it says evidence.
And you're like,
wow.
And on the next door,
it says dark room.
Gosh,
cool.
And then on the final door,
it says the buds.
Underneath the buds says written, investigators uh pu detectives i don't know and you open the door and it's a big mahogany desk and um you're
like hi i'm here for the buds i need you to check up on my butt and then just as you see on the wall is like a
big cork with loads of black and white photographs of you photos of you getting out of your car
photos of you at the supermarket photos of you voting photos of you putting something in the post, photos of you at a party, photos of you,
like on the toilet,
photos of you playing at an open mic night
with your hat on,
because you went in disguise,
because you embarrassed them by playing guitar in public,
but you thought,
no, I need to come out of my shell.
But how do they know that was you playing Wonderwall?
And you're like, like wait what's going on
and then
from out of a corner
Pierre and I walk
in a big trench coat
that we're sharing, both of us
so Pierre's on the left
side of the trench coat, I'm on the right side of the trench coat
and we say
not so nice to be followed by
a private investigator
is it how do you think your boyfriend or girlfriend will feel and you start to break
down you go yes you're right sorry this wasn't the right thing to do i shouldn't hire you guys
and then we go hey no no we didn't say that we just say that. We just want you to know how it feels.
Okay, so when do we start?
Welcome to Bonus Pod.
I really like the mental image of, you know,
when people put their hands out with their palms flat facing you and go, no, no, no, no, and like wiggle the arms?
Yeah.
That, but it's like my left arm and your right arm. That's right, in the same big coat. No, no, no no no and like wiggle the arms yeah that but it's like
my left arm and your right arm that's right in the same no no no we both do in the trench coat
and it's perfect and like our right my right arm and your left arm are like we're like around each
other's waists almost i guess see isn't this funny i pictured me in the right and you in the left is
that is that narcissism do you do you imagine yourself on your on if you're right-handed maybe imagine yourself on the right hand
so maybe that's what it is maybe that's what it is um and i will say in response to um
uh a query from a from a dear listener um those are not planned those things you say we don't
even plan them at all like it is really just a plunge in. Can you believe I improvised these?
Can you believe?
I like the idea of the buds, man.
Take it to the buds.
Yeah, that's fun.
I think that's a cool...
Yeah, that sounds cool, the buds.
It's cool, man.
Get the buds on it.
The buds get results.
Get the buds on this.
Yeah.
Very cool.
That's a funny detective
character there's two guys in in a coat but instead of like instead of two kids stood on
each other's shoulders there's two grown men side by side yeah we see we needed to seem bigger
we're siamese detectives what if it was two men in a two like that's the backstory of the
buds is that they were two kids in a trench coat.
Oh, that's fun.
And they just got really...
They got used to it.
They love it.
Yeah, and eventually they got too big
to be on each other's shoulders,
but they weren't too big to be side by side.
Yeah, because for a while they were like,
we can't tell people we're 11 feet tall.
That's insane.
Okay.
It'll have to be side by side.
That's good.
Another gold star idea from us.
Another great idea.
Another great idea.
We're basically the Coen brothers over here.
We're the Coen buds.
The Coen budders.
The Coen budders. We're the cohen we're the cohen buds the cohen butters the cohen butters we're the cohen butters where's our five-part hbo series spread over a decade that's what i want to know
i've still not seen the new fargo series the last one i saw was because they don't go on netflix
they haven't gone on netflix the last one i saw was the one with umwan McGregor. Yeah, me too.
Oh, yeah.
It was really good.
Oh, yeah.
But then there's one with Chris Rock in the main part.
Yeah.
I've not seen that.
I think Chris Rock's face looks weird.
Hmm.
I think he's had a lot of Botox.
Yeah, I think he probably has.
Because his face used to be like, part of his act was what an expressive face he had. And he probably has. Because his head, his face used to be,
like part of his act was what an expressive face he had.
And he still has an expressive face,
but now it's really like shiny and tight on his skull.
Yes, yes. It's expressive and taut.
So taut.
Like a drum, his face.
Yeah.
Yeah, like, yeah.
Like he's
one of the medical students
like muscular skeletal
model that's come to life. Yes.
Yeah, yeah. And he's doing comedy.
Yeah.
Yeah. And being slapped, of course.
Being slapped about
with that taut, taut skin. That's why he gives such a good sound.
It's like a tight drum.
Yeah.
And like, depending on where you slap his face,
it gets a different like...
Yeah, there's a snare.
There's a snare.
If you tap him under the chin, it...
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you slap him on top of the head, it...
It's like, yeah, if you just slap him around enough of the head It's like yeah
If you just slap him around enough you can get a whole kind of like
Stomp thing happening
Well Phil
Talking of detectives
And the criminal mind
And violence
And violence
You and I were discussing
just now
someone
not someone we know but someone we know of
shall we say in the entertainment
business who we reckon is an
absolute psycho and we don't mean that rhetorically
we mean genuinely
dead eyes of a shark
yeah psychopath
and I was reminded of this
riddle that supposedly tests to find out if you are a psychopath yeah and if you basically if
you know the answer to this you're a psychopath or likely to be a psychopath right yeah i found
i found it on on a website called
ifuckinglovescience.com
which probably means it's
pretty scientific
I imagine it's peer reviewed
and this
it says these riddles can supposedly
determine if you're a psychopath or not
so we're about to conduct
a mass
psychopath test on our listeners
and I reckon we'll find a couple
because statistically speaking there must be some out there
yeah or just people
who are really good at guessing
yeah unless psychopaths are
less likely to listen to podcasts because
they don't like anyone's voice but their own
what do you think?
yeah and I think even if they listen to podcasts
they're much less likely to be a patreon subscriber that's true that's true okay so might not be many so this is
this is the first test this might be the most famous one okay so here we go
while okay so you have to listen to this story, okay?
While at her own mother's funeral,
a woman meets a guy she doesn't know.
She thinks this guy is amazing,
a dream man,
and is pretty sure he could be the love of her life.
However, she never asked him for his name or number, and afterwards could not find anyone who knows who he was.
A few days later,
the girl kills her own sister.
But why?
I'll give you a couple of moments there
to think of an answer.
Okay.
Is the answer,
that woman's sister was her son?
Yeah, actually.
And if you didn't get that answer,
then you're sexist.
Well, the answer...
If your answer was, that woman can't have done a murder, she's a lady.
Well, guess what?
You need to grow up.
Yeah.
Ladies can murder too.
Sassy snap, sassy snap, sassy snap.
Yep.
Snap, sassy, snap, sassy, snap.
Yep.
So the answer is the lady thought the man
would turn up at her sister's funeral.
The man that she fancied from her mother's funeral
would turn up at her sister's funeral.
So that's why she killed her sister.
Apparently, if you think that answer is the answer,
then you are a psychopath.
Okay, or you have a psychopathic thought pattern of some kind.
Yeah, yeah.
Or you just watch a lot of TV.
Or you just watch a lot of TV, or you go on these websites, I guess.
Okay, so the idea is like, okay, if he was at one funeral, he'll probably be at this one.
I'll just kill my sister then.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, so the idea is like, okay, if he was at one funeral, he'll probably be at this one. I'll just kill my sister then. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Although it doesn't really establish why the man would know
both the mother and the sister in that same way.
Because it sounds a lot like this man's a cousin.
It sounds like a lot of this man is related.
Yeah, so this test also picks up on incestuous people.
Yeah, so this test also picks up on incestuous people.
Yes, if your answer was something to do with banjos, then you're an incestuous person.
Sorry, I just had my coffee.
I'm coughing because my coffee had bits of limescale in.
Pierre has monkey pox, everybody.
I've got the monkey pox.
It's technically
it's ape pox, but I don't want to get into it.
Monkey pox.
At least it's a funny name.
They're all dense because of monkey pox.
At least it's got a funny name.
We'll go out chuckling.
The second test, it says here,
which actually comes from an official
questionnaire used in several studies.
Ooh, several studies.
Several, you say?
Involves a battle between individual rescue and the greater good.
An assessment of utilitarianism.
It goes as follows.
A runaway trolley is about to run over and kill five people.
Oh, this is a famous one, isn't it?
You're standing on a footbridge.
Yeah, this is just a trolley problem yeah well i always thought the trolley problem was
was fairly easy well the way they phrase it is a runaway trolley is about to run over and kill
five people and you're standing on a footbridge next to a large stranger a large stranger okay
your body your body is too light to stop the train but if you
push the stranger onto the tracks killing him you will save the five people would you push the man
oh well that's different i think it's a slightly different arrangement of a similar problem in the
one i know of it's just you have control of a lever and you can direct the trolley to one person
or to a group of people yeah well you see in that one
I don't feel as bad about directing it to the
one person because some maniacs already gone
and tied these people to a train track
hmm
so so much of it is already
on other someone else's hands so you just sort of go
well I just made my choice then
whereas pushing a big fat bloke onto
a off a bridge or whatever
hmm that's that's a bit too active Whereas pushing a big fat bloke off a bridge or whatever,
that's a bit too active.
It's different.
Yeah, exactly.
It's active.
It's more active, isn't it?
So you wouldn't kill him.
Yeah, I think.
Yeah.
Also, think about this poor guy.
The last experience he has in life is a stranger deciding he's big enough to stop a trolley.
His whole life has been leading up to the moment
where a stranger goes,
Oi, fatty!
This will save you guys.
Don't worry.
This big tub of lard's going to stop this trolley.
And that's his last experience in life.
His last experience.
He'll get to heaven and be like,
Well, the last thing I remember is this weird guy
sizing me up and muttering about trolleys and just screaming i fucking love science as he did it
yeah that one's a that one's a common one we'd they're i'm thinking about it now i have heard
that pushing version before actually but i think they are but yeah they are different they are
different they are different i don't see how that's a psychopath test though yeah it's i guess it's a test of like um i suppose a psychopath
would think which which which avenue is most likely to lead to personal reward for me yeah i
don't see the psychopath caring if one person dies or five people die so i would have thought
it'd be the same to them a psychopath probably wouldn't push the big fat guy because he'd
probably think,
well, then I'll just be in trouble anyway,
whereas I can just stand here and watch this happen
and nothing happens to me.
So that's fine.
Yeah, yeah.
I think to make...
I also find the trolley problem easy
in that you just...
you would direct it to the one person over the five.
I think they should weight it.
So the trolley on one track,
it kills five people.
Or on the other track, it kills one person
with a bank balance of five people.
Then what do you choose?
Then who do you kill?
That would be difficult.
That would be difficult.
What about it kills five people or you divert it
and it kills one person, but you know them
and it's very awkward
i mean that that does change things doesn't it if you know the one person that really does
yeah because then you go like well i i already know steven so sorry guys
or do you go i already know steven i'd like to explore five potential new friendships
i already know steven but i'm about to make five new best friends for life
five new friends with let's face it who are going to owe me for a long time
they're gonna owe me a pretty big i think you'll find you're like shouting over to the
five guys on the train tracks
do you guys like
do you play hockey
do you
okay that's one one but Stephen does
that one that's one one
what do you guys think of the latest Kendrick Lamar
do you like it
what do you think it's over1. What do you guys think of the latest Kendrick Lamar? Do you like it?
What do you think? It's overreaching.
Are you guys free in the day?
Like a Thursday, say, weekly?
And they're all frantically nodding
and you go, I've just
realized I've given you a big incentive
to lie. Hold on, I need to think of questions where you given you a big incentive to lie. Hold on.
I need to think of questions where you don't know what answer I want.
Hang on.
And then they go through them.
And then you're just like, well, Stephen, looks like you win by default, I guess.
But you still owe me, boy.
Any other psycho riddles?
There just seem to be the two on here.
And there's also
I think
There's a version of
That first riddle about the funeral
Has been thoroughly debunked
Several times before
Well thanks a lot, cheers, thanks for that
Thanks for putting it on
Thoroughly debunked
And it's not entirely clear where it came from.
A psycho?
Oh, gosh, it's on Snopes.
Does a one-question test reveal psychopaths?
I mean, no.
It'd be a very, very short version of Silence of the Lambs, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
Hello, Clarice. Show Um, yeah. Yeah.
Hello, Clarice.
Show, Dr. Lecter.
A woman goes to her mother's funeral.
It's her own mother's funeral.
And she, uh, yes.
Yes, go on. What sort of catering
is there?
Yeah.
Open or closed casket, Clarice?
It doesn't matter, Dr. Lecter.
It matters to me, Clarice.
It matters to me.
Yeah, just...
Well, it's so he can meet that...
She can meet that man again, isn't it?
Thank you, Dr. Lecter. That will be all.
Do-do-do-do do do do do this the credits well as she tries to survey him and as anthony hopkins says in the film you think you
can dissect my mind with these blunt little tools does anthony hopkins say that's his
yeah that accent out of out of character yeah he does an offensive impression of her accent.
Oh, yeah, fun.
Blond little tools.
Which you would be pretty disappointed
if the FBI came to question you
and they had a fucking folder labeled riddles.
You'd be like, really?
Is this what my tax dollars have gone towards?
A riddle club?
I need to watch the other Hannibals.
I've only seen Silence of the Lambs.
They're good, man. I like them.
I like them a lot. I love Popkins.
I like his creepy little eyes.
You like Panthony Popkins?
I love Grampony Popkins
so much.
He's very good.
He's great. He's one of my favourite Welshmen.
Oh, by far.
By a long...
By a rare bit.
Oh, very nice.
Thank you.
Very, very nice.
Thank you.
Dr. Lecter, I was just hoping to ask you a few questions.
No.
It is I who will ask the questions of you, Clarice.
Mother and father have I none, but my mother's mother is my son.
What am I?
Please, Dr. Lecter, all I want is to be pointed in the right direction.
Maybe a clue as to Buffalo Bill's...
No.
Answer my questions first, Clarice.
Quid pro quo.
My dog has no nose.
So how can he smell?
Hmm.
Return to Marcus Aurelius.
First principles.
Ask of each and everything what is it of us.
Did you mean to say how does he smell?
I... Yes. Yes. Yes.
How does he smell, Clarice?
How does he smell? Does he smell like the lambs, Clarice?
Does he smell... Is the answer that he smells terrible?
Yes. Very good, Clarice.
Quite a smart one, aren't you?
I can see why Jack sent you to the...
Okay, Dr. Electris, if that was just the whole point of this meeting, I'm just going to go.
No, wait! A surgeon...
Oh, all I have are my riddles.
Well, Shell, we read out some of the correspondence from these goddamn psychos who listen oh yeah yeah
come on to your your boyfriend finding funeral yes um okay let god i still have some of that
lime scale in my mouth it was an awful experience just there. Crunchy coffee. Oh, I hate crunchy coffee. It's the worst.
It's really hideous stuff.
Yeah, it's awful.
To anyone who doesn't live in the south of England,
well done on having, you know, liquid water.
Liquid water.
It's a real privilege.
It's a real privilege.
A real privilege.
I'm just trying to make sure
that I have the right
emails that I've got
it correct I don't want to
disappoint you yes we did the
Christian stuff
yes here we go okay so
Emily gets in touch
Emily
is she Smemily Sm Is she Smemily?
Smemily?
Smemily Emily
Smemily Emily
Smemily Emily
Smemily Emily
Yep
She says
Dear Peeves and Pouster
That's very good
That's good
That's good
Have you read the
Jeeves and Worcester books?
No
I need to read Woodhouse really
I've not really read Woodhouse
I think you'd like it I think I'd likehouse, really. I've not really read Woodhouse.
I think you'd like it.
I think I'd like it.
The bits I have read are really funny,
and they still hold up.
They're funny now.
They really do.
Yeah.
They really do.
And it's funny to think that he was so popular in the 30s,
and he was old-fashioned then.
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because it's from the Edwardian era,
all the social life he describes.
It's all from 1906, basically.
He's just this mad, old, funny guy dear peeves and puster i hope you're both well a friend recommended bud pod
last year thank you to the friend please pass that on to fill the void left when i completed
the off menu back catalog ah good boys good boys replace boys with other good boys that's right goodbye eddie baby
and jim joms hello peeves and pooster
I count myself a lifelong
fan of food but it was not until I discovered
your plopulent transmissions that I acknowledged
the many pleasures of
not only its ingestion but its
extrusion
between us and off menu we cover the entire food journey.
Oh, yeah.
The human experience.
We're the bumhole of off menu.
Off menu is the mouth and we're the anus.
We're not seen as much, but we're vital.
Also, Emily, I'm quite harrowed by the fact that you said ingestion and
extrusion as opposed to excretion because extrusion is what you do to a piece of metal to turn it into
a wire and i don't like the idea that there's that is like there's an there's an infinite lump
of poo in me that's just being extruded out of my bum in the shape of like a girder, in like an I-beam shape.
And it's like really red and hot and still like bendable as it comes out.
Yeah.
And like the toilet water just like steams up on contact.
Like when someone's making a sword in a film. So she says, thanks to you both for that.
I have a story to share about a public display of chundering.
Wonderful.
The year was 2014.
The city, New York.
Ooh.
Bright lights, big city.
Bright lights, big city.
You want to sip my soul?
I was living there at the time
and was excited to experience my first American Halloween.
Oh, yeah, nice.
Wow, imagine.
All the more so as a good friend from home was arriving that night
to spend a week on the sofa of the three-bedroom apartment
I shared with four other girls.
Wow.
Three-bedroom apartment, four girls.
So then there'll be five girls temporarily,
but normally there are four in the three bedroom apartment,
so two of them are a couple.
Or bunk beds.
Bunk bed girls, of course.
I've seen those films.
Yes.
So, our haunt for the night.
Very good
Nice, lovely stuff
She has a way with words
Does us, Memoli
Our haunt for the night was a bar called
Trailer Park
Which brimmed with Americana
All year round
And teamed with witches that night
Very cool
My friend and I were dressed as the Brooklyn Bridge.
I was Brooklyn, she was downtown Manhattan,
and we had choreographed a stately bridge-like pose.
Lovely.
Oh, okay.
And acquired some little American flags to complete the scene.
It wasn't a good costume,
but emboldened by red wine and bourbon pickleback shots,
I saw that we demonstrated it to any who asked,
and many who didn't.
This is good stuff.
I like this vibe I'm imagining.
Oh, thunder in my part of London.
Very spooky.
Yeah.
I haven't heard it here.
For the Halloween story.
Oh, perfect.
Lovely.
How atmospheric.
So, Emily continues.
Gentlemen, my actions later that night and the logic that underpinned them
were not immune to this combination of liquids.
And with eight years of perspective, I still can't identify the lowest point.
So this is a list of the possible low points, Phil, from the booze.
Yeah, okay.
Was it when, banished from Trailer Park
and chivvied to the station, I painted the
subway steps puce with my retchings?
Ha ha, puce. Puce is
a good word. I love puce.
Puce with my retchings.
She talks like a witch.
What is the meaning of puce?
How do you spell puce? P-U-C-E?
P-U-C-E, yes. Red.
Crimson.
Ah, lovely.
A deep red.
A dark red, a purple brown color.
Yes, very good.
Puce.
Puce with my retchings.
What if I...
I'm going to say that like a witch.
I painted the subway steps puce with my retchings.
And your little dog too.
Yeah, that's very good.
Yes.
So was it then or was it minutes later in the train carriage
when I unzipped my handbag, a fake Marc Jacobs bought recently
on New York's famous Canal Street,
and besieged all the essential possessions therein with my spew?
Oh, my Lord.
Spew.
Besieged.
Ah.
Ah. Sing to me
You're like the phantom of the opera
And she's the new soprano
Sing to me

Insane.
You don't even get your own room.
So was it then, or was it the next morning when I found the contents of my handbag cleanly laid out next to me,
rinsed by my dear friend on the first night of her holiday?
Goodness me, what a pal.
Gosh.
What a friend.
Quite the pal.
Wow.
Gosh What a friend
Quite the pal
Wow
It's hard to say
But my immediate punishment
Was sitting through
And paying fifty dollars for
A bottomless brunch the next morning
At which I only managed to force down
A few mugs of hot water
Hard to say indeed
And hard to choose the better friend
The other half of my Brooklyn Bridge
Or the friend who introduced me to Bud Pod.
Yeah, sounds like you surround yourself with very high quality individuals.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Well done.
Lucky you.
She says, I also wanted to let you know there's a restaurant in Soho in London
called Humble Chicken, which serves all parts of a chicken.
Oh, I'm going to look this up right now.
Humble Chicken.
I've heard of this.
My friend went there and he said it was fucking
great. Humble chicken.
Look at this. Oh, it's very well reviewed.
It's right by Ronnie Scott.
And she says one of their dishes
contains an ingredient called koji. Try it sometime.
