It's Budpod 171.
171, um, Gun Heaven Fun, which is a description of the Republicans' America.
Gun Heaven Fun.
That sounds like, um, I can see the game, like it's like a Final Fantasy game where the guns are like the size of the players, you know?
And it's also a sword fantasy game where the guns are like the size of the players you know and it's also a sword i i was always i i never got into final fantasy and all the artwork from it
only served to put me off further like why is this small blonde but also presumably Japanese elf boy carrying a sword that's also a gun.
It makes him tall.
How is he stable?
How is he able to carry that enormous gun sword?
It looks like more of an impediment on the battlefield
than anything else.
Yeah, and his enemy is like a kind of in full costume
but without makeup sort of Lady Gaga figure,
long white hair.
And there's like,
there isn't a single flap of cloth
that isn't divided further
into four curling magic flaps of cloth.
All the better to get snagged on in the heat of battle.
Yeah, with a sword that is the size of a car
with a gun in the handle for no reason.
Yes.
Mad.
Speaking of cartoony people,
in our pre-pod chat,
because Pierre and I always have a little chat on the phone
before I had to catch up and to release the demons
that we mustn't say on any recorded medium.
I told you one of my favourite little trivia facts
that Scooby-Doo, the cartoon crime-solving dog,
is named after a single moment of Frank Sinatra's scat singing.
It's at the end of Strangers in the Night
when most of Frank Sinatra's songs he sings
and then scats the end until it fades out as if he's just walking into a scatty sunset.
And at the end of Strangers in the Night he goes,
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, da-ba-da-dee-da, da-ba-da-da-dee.
And that one Scooby-Dooby-Doo, that's what Scooby-Doo the dog is named after.
Scatty Sunset is a place you can go to have yourself shat on in LA.
Yes.
Yeah, on Sunset Boulevard.
It's a poop club.
It's a sexy poop club.
It's a poop...
Look, it's a poop club.
You don't have to go.
We met at Scatty Sunset in the 80s.
And since then, we've made 12 pictures together
i don't know i looked across the room at the vip area and who should i see squatting over a glass
table but this guy scatty sunset was the place to be in the 80s. And it was a boom time for them,
because all the coke really loosened people up in every sense, I mean.
Scatty Sunset.
They have a big Netflix documentary about its legacy.
Yeah, selling scatty.
Selling scatty, yeah.
You see here behind me a humble Trader Joe's
but it wasn't always a high end
grocery store
now
on this site people go in
to buy things to put in their mouths
well
only a couple of decades ago is where they went
to put things out of their ass
yeah ironic that the place where is where they went to put things out of their ass.
Yeah.
Ironic that the place where the great and the good,
the glitterati of LA would come to shit,
there isn't even a customer bathroom.
Anthony Blanton, CNN.
Shakes his head and sort of hands on hips looks behind him at the place
they never dealt with that in scooby-doo did they him doing a kind of enormous dog-sized shit
after those big sandwiches yeah yeah no one ever had to pick up scooby-dooby-doo's
scatty-watty crap no one ever shaggy never had i've had... At no point did Shaggy put his hand into a plastic bag
and lean over and go,
Oh, Scoob!
And pick up an enormous turd.
Because he was a big dog as well, Scooby-Doo.
Yeah, man.
What breed was he, actually?
Do they ever say?
Is that the final mystery that the mystery van has to solve?
It is a breed. It is a breed.
It is a breed.
Hang on.
What is it?
Yeah.
Shaggy never said zoinks at the sheer size of one of those dumps.
Zoinks, Scoob.
What did you eat?
Those are the same sandwiches you did.
You know what, as well, is like, I don't know if you've ever seen a dog that size.
It's a Great Dane, of course.
It's a Great Dane.
I don't know if you've ever seen a dog that size take a shit, but it's bigger than any human shit.
It is astonishing.
Yeah, no, I don't make a habit of looking out for them.
So no, I don't make a habit of looking out for them, so no, I don't.
Well, you know, get yourself down to Scatty Sunset on their dog's welcome days.
Oh, speaking of nonsense words,
sorry to be flying around,
but the other weekend I went with the family to Whitstable,
the oyster capital of Kent,
and we stayed in an Airbnb,
and this Airbnb came complete with tat.
Oh, shit.
You saw some tat in life.
Yes, real life tat.
I feel so good.
I feel like I'm a Bud Pod listener or something.
So there's one that is mad,
and then three here that are just annoying.
I'll run you through the...
It is one of these houses that has a lot of tat
that lists rules,
but rules that are fun, you know.
I mean, one is just a framed piece of tat that says,
time to, and all different, as we all know, all different fonts,
time to drink champagne and dance on the table.
And then another one in cursive by the sea all worries wash away
which sounds like something
I mean that's a suicide note
that's what what's the face
is a Virginia Woolf
yeah who just put rocks in her
and actually it's come the dawn with some stones
so it is like
oh god it is like Oh god
It is like something Virginia Woolf would say
Before putting stones in her pocket and just walking into the sea
Is it Virginia Woolf?
Death
It's always bad when you look at someone's Wikipedia page
And before the thing that says death
It says mental health
Sea Suicide Lady
Is it Virginia Woolf?
She did
41 Do you know what see suicide lady is it original? she did yeah yeah yeah
41
hmm
do you know what
you know what's weird
I would feel like
I would be less likely
to commit suicide
in 1941
than before
or after the war
you'd be less likely
to commit suicide
in 1941
yeah I'd want to see
how it ended
right
right right right
yeah I know right I know what you mean I know what you mean in 1941 1941. Yeah, I'd want to see how it ended. Right, right, right, right, right. Yeah, right.
I know what you mean.
I know what you mean. In 1941,
yeah, Wisconsin was really picking up.
Yeah, Battle of Britain.
Yeah.
Okay, so this is the first collection
of cottage rules, because everyone
loves a cottage with rules.
Please don't commit suicide at our
Airbnb
that must have happened
despite what other tat says please do not
wait a sec
oh yes and this is actually this is one that my
sister remarked on
so it says cottage rules stay up late oh yes and this is actually this is one that my sister remarked on uh we just got fun she um so
it says cottage rules stay up late it's the first one which is i mean that's okay that's torture
that's what the americans did in guantanamo bay basically that's sleep deprivation you have to
stay up late yeah step late and the second one sleep in which is reasonable i mean you're going
to need to if you stay in the third. The third one is flat out psychotic.
Wake up smiling.
Imagine.
God.
The terror.
Imagine if you woke up smiling.
Imagine.
Bring, bring, bring.
I love to be up.
Which is worse, to be asleep with like a kind of completely like blank face
and then as your eyes open, just straight away smiling?
Or is it worse to just be like sleeping with like a rictus fucking joker grin
and then just waking up?
And your face just not moving.
I think it's creepier to be just, yeah, be grinning the whole time.
Yeah.
An eyes closed rictus grin is a
horrifying
horrifying thought. I'm just doing it
to myself now. But it's the rules.
Yeah, it's pretty good. It's pretty creepy. It's the rules.
Rule number four, and this is a
classic one. Drink tea.
Fuck off. What? drink tea uh make memories in the short time you have
in the day because you slept in so late yeah yeah well and also i mean you know it's involuntary
isn't it make memories if you're if you're healthy uh make uh relax laugh play i would say difficult to relax and play
yeah i'd rather play laugh and then relax
do you know what i mean yeah because that's that it also makes more
aural sense go oh get it over here over here oh oh you win haha but good time
that's the sound of play laugh relax whereas relax laugh play is
anyone for tennis? That's much less sinister.
Yeah, Relax, Laugh, Play is a man sinking into an armchair,
chuckling to himself, and then launching himself at a rugby ball
out of the armchair.
After that is Take Long Walks.
And these are the biggest letters of all.
Take Long Walks. They're letters of all. Take long walks.
They're literally marching orders.
Take long walks.
Take them.
It's something a Nazi officer would say
with a gun pointed at you.
Take long walks.
Or like a mafia threat.
Why don't you take a long walk?
Leave us here in the Airbnb
to have a little talk with your friend.
After that, see the sunrise.
Now, my sister pointed out a very clear contradiction within a mere few cottage rules.
a mere few cottage rules.
She pointed out, which is very well observed,
that you literally cannot sleep in and see the sunrise.
Yeah, and it's a very small window
if you're going to suddenly wake up smiling, remember?
Look at the sunrise, go to bed.
Within seconds.
Still smiling, presumably. And then the very last one. go to bed within seconds still smiling presumably
and then after
the very last one
eat plenty, nap often
I mean the amount of sleep
involved in this list of
rules
this is the lifestyle of some sort of bear
oh yeah it does also say here
fashion, a butt plug out of foliage and twigs all right yeah
oh sorry it is it is better sorry i should have seen that sorry it's bad it's for bears it's for
bears don't forget to fashion a month-long butt plug from twigs and moth cocoons and
can you imagine how great it feels to be a bear
and to take six months worth of shit in a single session?
Oh, wow, yeah.
Just empty out your entire body like a fucking toothpaste tube.
It must be insane.
I guess they haven't been eating.
Yeah.
But they must just be skipping around the forest after that shit.
Oh, yeah.
Bears do shit in the woods, you know.
Yes.
Famously.
How long was this piece of tat?
There's quite a few completely contradictory rules.
It's tall.
It's a tall piece of tat.
It was the tallest in the house by far.
I don't like tall tat.
It's like the shadow of a grandfather clock all high on a wall.
Long. Nothing should be long on a poster but it's thrilling to see some uh some beach tat uh in in person yeah yeah i'm trying
to think because i also have recently been in an airbnb for a friend of mine stag do and i don't
think there was no tat but
like you know sometimes you can have a sort of magnetic uh little notice board by the by the
sort of back door a magnetic motorsport notice board like you can pin things on it notice board
yeah um it was it was like a sort of magnetized uh I'd say like 30, 40 centimeters square.
And it was just a picture top down of a latte with a heart in the foam.
A latte with a heart in the foam.
Yeah, you know how they do.
Oh, okay.
I was thinking a cross section of a latte.
And then in the foam section at the top,
just a crudely placed...
No, no, top-down.
Yeah, top-down.
Top-down.
Bird's-eye view.
Bird's-eye view of the latte.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I just sort of thought,
that's like a perfect nothing image.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just like, oh, a coffee and love.
yeah just like oh a coffee and love i would it would be great to to rent an airbnb and from the photos in advance create replacement
tat that you replace and see how long it takes them to notice so like instead of that image
with the magnetized notice board you choose an image of say um, Royal Marine Commandos
about to storm a bunker on D-Day.
Black and white.
Yeah, I think it would be a while.
That's a good idea for a prank,
to slowly, maybe word by word,
changing the tag
until it eventually becomes like
an insane manifesto
yeah see
how many words in the tat around the house you can
replace just with the word meringue
go to bed late
get up meringue
just stick meringue in there
don't speak to me until I have my meringue.
Like, replace all the mugs with that.
Meringue must be one of the most crazily spelt words in the language, surely.
Meringue.
Maringue.
Maringue.
A couple episodes ago, we talked about when, in a movie,
the protagonist discovers an ancient evil.
Yes.
In some faraway land.
Meringue.
It sounds like one of the evil spirits they've disturbed.
Yeah, it sounds like...
A Bedouin nomad would slowly back away saying,
Meringue.
Or like the naive Western archaeologist naively holds up a sort of jade egg.
He goes, oh my God, look at this.
And all the helpers start pointing they all run
as they as they run they like kick over the ladder so they can't get up out of the hole
no wait
what i always thought was strange about those No, wait! Meringue! Meringue.
What I always thought was strange about those scenes was, like,
okay, these, like, sort of patronizingly depicted local, native,
whatever, fucking helpers are, like, so terrified of the object when it's found,
but, like, they're helping dig for it.
What were they told the job was?
But that's just, yeah yeah that's just the um what
the job markets are like in these places pierre you just have to take any job that comes up even
if it is to disturb an ancient spirit that that's true definitely kill you that's true uh i've got
some uh i've got some freelance work you know with that with the t tuck what about you yeah it's um take us
people to poke around the demon temple it's not great but i mean the pay is incredible and i mean
most of the time you don't find a demon it's like a one in ten demon chance you know i mean obviously
we hear about all the times people find demons but that's because they're all the ones when you
don't don't make the news it's just an outrage it's an outrage culture we live in look you think you're gonna get as many clicks talking
about all the not demons you found didn't think so um yes i did i i i'm very i thank you oh god
i must remember to say thank you to the pod buds who came to see me at
i think some of you were at arg uh last night arg festival you did as well phil yes i was at
arg festival on saturday thank you for coming to that uh a man's chair broke while i was on
um really yeah yeah yeah he was very he was very good about it i just heard i was just
doing my jokes and just heard a boom and i looked to my left and this chair had had folded and he
picked it up and for a second he and he's finding some way to put it and he looked like he was stone
cold steve austin and he's about to hit me with a folded chair um oh shit but then he just sort of
put it away and then and then he had there was no free seats shit but then he just sort of put it away and then and then he
had there was there's no free seats left so then he just kind of had to nonchalantly lean against
the wall just like um but aside from that it's a it's a lovely show nice people great to be at
the wonderful arg comedy festival in shoreditch once again after a couple of years.
A nice time by all.
King's Head.
Downstairs at the King's Head in Crouch Ends.
Thank you to the pod buds who came to that.
I had a nice chat with some of you afterwards.
Guy said Koji as he walked past me,
which was very nice.
And my friend Desi came with his lovely wife
and we had a nice catch up.
He's a pod bud as well.
Hi, Desi.
Hi, Desi. Hi, Desi. lovely wife and we had a nice catch up oh he's a pod but as well hi desi hi desi um i i did a gig
at hackney last week at the moth club and uh before i was on i i ran um i was in the venue
and i was i like did a little crouch to inconspicuously jog to the back of the room so i
could watch and as i passed one, he just whispered to me,
Koji, as I ran through.
Really?
Yeah, then I turned my face to say Koji back,
but he didn't turn back around.
So I couldn't see who it was.
But very nice, mysterious Koji in the dark.
That's a confident man.
Yeah.
And quick, because he only had like a second to realize it was me running through.
But he'd been practicing like Rambo in the jungle for the moment when his reflexes would be required to just go, give me a quick, Koji.
Koji.
Unless he just does that to everyone who walks past him on the chance that it's me or you.
Well, I think that would be fair.
Yeah.
I think that's a... Also, it's good advice.
It's good advice to everyone.
It's good advice and it's fair.
It's a fair thing to say to people.
After my ARG show on Saturday,
I went with my sister to watch
Fran Lebowitz in Conversation.
Ooh!
Do you like Fran Lebowitz? I think so. Do you like Fran Lebowitz?
I think so.
Am I thinking of the right person?
She's the grumpy New York author, humorist,
who is in Pretender to City on Netflix with Martin Scorsese.
Yeah, she's funny.
She's very funny, yeah, yeah.
And the first, yeah, yeah. said that she was going to be talking to Fran Lebowitz and then Fran Lebowitz would take questions from the audience.
And the split was 30 minutes,
Hadley Freeman chatting with Fran Lebowitz
and then an hour of audience questions.
Whoa.
You and I have done a book event together
and we know that's the wrong way around.
That's a lot.
Yeah. That's a lot of questions and not only that fran leberwitz insisted on no microphones for the audience
if you had a question yeah she doesn't like microphones she thinks they're too much of a faff
so if for these questions you just have to belt you have to belt unamplified
through the entire
theatre your question
Fran Lebowitz
what was it like
genuinely it was like that it was crazy
and straight
and so we finished the half hour of very funny
good fluid chat with
Hadley Freeman then Hadley Freeman got off stage
and Fran Lebowitz walked up to
a lectern and said
any questions and people just started going
in
episode 3
of Pretend It's A City
you said that New York
is like a grape
what other fruit
do you think are like
cities and then or something like that what other fruit do you think are like cities?
And then, or something like that.
And then Fran would go,
sorry, I didn't hear that.
What?
Yeah, because she's 71.
So what the fuck is she doing?
And so for an hour,
Fran Leibowitz had to try and decipher
what a room of 12,000 different accents,
because it's the only show in the UK
were saying
so someone would
scream a question from the top balcony
then she'd go, what?
and someone a bit further down, Chinese whisper it
all the way up to the front
where invariably a Scottish person
would then try to tell her
the question in a very thick Scottish accent
and she'd go huh huh? And so that
was an hour, that was an hour
Oh my god
The crowd got feral, people were going
why don't you use a microphone?
People were losing their minds
but it was quite chaotic
fun, but it was so
dumb
Fran Lebowitz is saying to you the way don't you god use your microphone
huh was it a question about david bowie
oh my god but like americans sometimes don't understand posh english accents like the most
clear sounding yeah exactly but when she
could understand a question uh yeah she was very good she'd nail it yeah all off the top all off
the dome very funny very good um i do recommend that netflix series pretended to city it's very
good i need to read some of her collected uh works there were there were some very big fran fans in um whenever you go to one of these events you realize
oh i am a very casual fan of this person there was a guy in front um there's a guy in front of
san franomimo sister and he had like a copy of the fran lebowitz Reader, you know, the collection of essays, very ostentatiously placed on his lap.
And every time Fran made a joke or made a good point,
he would clap the most, like, sonorous, resonant clap with his hands.
Ka-pow, pow, pow, pow.
You know how some people, they clap like they have...
They slightly cup their hands and it's like thunder
yeah yeah yeah
really making a show
of his fandom
what would you need the reader for
the book
what would you need that for
just to correct her
actually
I'm imagining this reader with loads of little neon highlighter Actually.
I'm imagining this reader with loads of little neon highlighter stickums poking out.
Yeah, I think he did actually have all these stickers in it for segments that he wanted to bring up.
But he never asked a question.
One lady behind us, and we are in the balcony we're far away Fran would go
any questions and this lady behind us
would go me like that
and Fran wouldn't hear her
and she'd point to someone two rows
in front of her obviously
and then she'd answer that question and she'd go
okay who's next and this lady
behind us just went me and and then she'd answer that question and she'd go okay who's next and this lady behind
is just going me
and
again she'd pick someone five
rows away and then she'd go
again okay who's next
me and eventually this
lady just gave up and
Fran pointed to someone like near her and
she just bowled over Fran
like that and
she was she had kind of like an eastern European her and she just bowled over fran like that and she was she had kind of like
an eastern european accent and she was like it is my dream that you would have a debate with
jordan peterson uh why what do you will you ever do it and how do you think it would go
and friend is like what did she say and and everyone's kind of going oh jesus jordan peterson
there's something about eastern europeans and jordan peterson have you noticed this
yes yes yes definitely that is a thing i don't know if they're just because they're so especially
no like no nonsense uh no bullshit um over there that they really like this guy but but eventually
the name john peterson i love joe rogan yeah yeah eventually the name john peterson was passed up to
fran liebers on stage and she's like i don't know who that is. And at first I was surprised,
but then she doesn't have a phone
and she doesn't have a laptop
and she isn't on the internet really.
And I realized, oh yeah, that's why she doesn't know him
because you would only know him if you're very online.
Yeah, yeah.
Most people have no idea really.
And most people who do know who he is
seem to have found him through Rogan, yeah.
It'd be very funny if Fran was a big Joe Rogan listener.
But I don't really understand.
It's my one digital vice.
It's kind of like a boring thing
that these people always are put to the public figures they like,
or the public speakers they like.
Would you debate with Jordan Peterson?
Even though every Jordan Peterson
debate that has been hyped up has always been
not good.
And he's mad now.
Well, yeah, he ate nothing
but beef and went into a Serbian coma.
He's full of... The man's full of beef.
He's
full of beef. And there's always an air when
you ever get a question like that of like you're my hero will you fight my enemy right but i think
she was also i think she was a fan of of um john pearson oh so she was like oh who of my two heroes
will best each other exactly exactly exactly
that was very much the vibe oh okay that's interesting um yeah i i mean it's sort of like
well what would they even debate about to be fair i don't know enough about fran liebowitz's
i guess well i mean peterson's started saying even more and more insane things about like birth
control being the decline of civilization and things so yeah that's a pretty easy debate yeah exactly
yeah i don't think it would be particularly interesting especially knowing that he he would
cry at some point that is absolutely certain um for those interested i i for me his sort of
reign really ended with his gq interview with helen lewis i'm a yeah i'm a big
helen lewis stan and she just she's so calm about it and he comes off so mad and unreasonable
um i thought that's what this is pre-beef this is i think i think this is during what's the word
like pre and like post that is for during because i think we're mid mid beef mid beef yeah no it's
very much mid beef a mid beef interview in inter beef intra beef intra beef yes this is intra beef
intra beef yeah inter beef would be between beefs between separate beefs yeah where intra beef is
within the one beef yeah so within the one enormous long bit of beef that he
ate i put him in a coma um intra beef yes quite well speaking of beef phil let's cut into the
of correspondence delish who's got beef with us
though i suppose he would say that.
All right, so we've got to the point of the evening
where I'll be taking some of your questions from the audience.
There'll be a couple of roving microphones.
So just put your hands up and someone will come to you.
Yes, over there. Yes, just wait for and someone will come to you. Yes, over there.
Yes, just wait for the microphone to come to you.
Thank you.
Thank you for your talk.
I was just wondering, do you think I'm nice?
What?
Do I think you're nice?
Yeah.
Do you think I'm nice?
Well, I don't really know you, but yes?
Oh, brilliant.
Okay, another question, please.
Yes, the gentleman over there.
Um, where do we go when we die?
Yes or no?
Yes or no? What are you talking... Look, sorry,
can everyone just try
and think about the questions before they
ask them?
Yes, you, sir.
Yes, more of a comment
than a question, really.
Right, okay. Thank you.
Can we find
someone a little more normal?
Yes, someone from the back.
Why is no one willing to take responsibility for their own questions these days?
Asking for a friend.
You over there.
Yes, please have something that would be worthwhile asking.
Yes, I was just wondering,
if you're up there and I'm over here,
who's flying the theatre?
Right.
Excuse me, I'd like to know,
how much wood could a woodchuck chuck
if they were properly funded for once by this bloody government?
Why are you applauding?
What does that even mean?
Look, one more time.
Look, I've to have one last question.
Please, please make it worthwhile.
Yes, you, sir.
Are we living in a simulation?
And is that simulation
Microsoft Flight Simulator 1998?
What is wrong with you people
I don't know how to end the sketch
as women
our life stages come with unique risk factors
like when our estrogen
levels drop during menopause
causing the risk of heart disease to go up

Although knowing Australia and New Zealand, Pierre,
that could be yesterday.
Gotta burn a hole.
Greetings from a lockdown Sydney

of a year. I'm not sure how you feel
about this, but I consider Budpod to be a
feminist text. Yes, this is what we want to hear
Yes
This is what we want
I consider this our free pass now
to say anything
And whoever complains will say
I don't think you understand
One woman said I was good
One woman at a different time said I was good.
One woman at a different time said I was good before I said the things I've said since.
So if you could retract this.
So I consider Bud Pod to be a feminist text.
Hear me out.
Women, their bowel motions and their associated smells have long been considered shameful and while i am a feminist through and through i've always found myself incredibly
embarrassed to talk about such things especially around men yeah yeah yeah it's true this seems
ridiculous in this day and age but such talk or demonstration by a woman is usually followed by
disgust and shaming as opposed to being funny when men talk about it exactly it's one of the the remaining taboos the tapu
is the tapu is the remaining tapu it's a remaining tapu uh bud pot has exposed me to
explosive tales of the fecal kind over the last two and a bit years i guess you could call this Expugia therapy. Very nice.
Very good.
Anyway, while initially uncomfortable
and embarrassed listening to these stories, I now
thoroughly enjoy and even look forward to my
weekly dose of poo chat.
We have created a monster.
A poopy monster.
We got you hooked and you're coming back for more.
We should have like a you know those uh before uh meth and after meth photo
comparisons we should do before bud pod and after bud pod in the second photo they're just like
stinky and gross in the second photo they're like wrinkling their nose like there's a bad smell
but smiling yeah delighted But smiling. Yeah. Delighted.
God.
The fact that you don't discriminate based on the gender of the misadventurous poor
has shifted something in my mind.
Ah.
Ah.
And I now feel considerably...
Yes, we've made you poop out those bad prejudices
from your brain bum.
Yeah.
A brain bum is a good description for a mouth, I think.
A brain bum.
Yeah.
Oh, hang on.
I just can't leave the house yet.
I've got to brush my brain bum.
Got to clean my...
Rinse out my brain bum.
Has shifted something in my mind,
and I now feel considerably less
embarrassed about the topic so from one more confident female poor thank you for furthering
the cause yes great good great our pleasure um yes absolutely i mean when piazza and i started
this podcast we started it with the sole ambition of liberating our sisters
from their pooping cage
yeah
coming out of your cages and you've been pooping just fine
we are Puth Bader Ginsburg
oh my god
we're Jermaine Peer we're Jermaine Peer Oh my god Would you main peer?
Would you main peer?
Who else is there?
Shatlin Moran
Oh very good
What's the lady from the 70s
With the glasses
Gloria
Gloria
Gloria Gloria Gloria Gloria Gloria Gloria with the glasses a glorious gloria stybum glorious stybum glorious stybum or shy bum maybe
um yes describe the world before gloria yes yes yes lamentably shy bum yeah well i mean i do remember i do remember god it must have been like 13 14 years ago
when i think it's fair to say 13 or 14 years ago that was when the the the increase in in female
uh comedy and and female sketch groups started i would say 2010 say and i did notice how many
of the sketches were poopy and initially i was like well hang on
that's we're not supposed to do poop jokes are we and then i thought no wait i remember sort of
going oh actually it is transgressive in context yes exactly it's such a good lesson in contextual
transgressiveness because if it had been three like a mega lads doing it you would have just
been like okay whereas um because it was often sort of three
quite sort of which you might call nice young girls just doing some sort of harrowing sketch
about just chitting their guts out that becomes transgressive for the very reason
yes yes yes yeah i mean the the speaker is part of the message yeah and that was a good a good
little lesson there good little example um erin also says also just wondering if you're aware of the puma that has been circulating in
australia that are that our current prime minister out of date now uh no longer the prime minister
in australia our current prime minister shat his pants in a suburban mcdonald's in 1997 yes yes yes
yes this was um you wouldn't know wondered when I was in Melbourne this year.
It was still hot, hot goss.
Oh, really? Yeah, and apparently
someone has made a plaque on the bin
outside this McDonald's saying
on this day in 1997
Prime Minister
Scott Morrison
shat himself in a McDonald's bathroom.
I like the news.
It says, the unabridged tale of ScoMo shitting himself
for Engadine Maccas.
Incredibly Australian.
Engadine, yeah.
Engadine, yeah.
I think I'm pronouncing it right. It's definitely spelled Engadine.
Engadine.
I'd be surprised if it's Angerdine.
Ah, the Macadangerdine, yes.
Let's see, what is the story?
It was after a sports match of some kind.
Yes.
They sit round a table at Engadine Macca's.
Cronulla Sharks and Brisbane Broncos had been playing.
Cronulla Sharks. Brisbane Broncos had been playing. Cronulla Sharks.
That's such an Australian phrase. The Cronulla
Sharks.
He must have
been drinking, right? Did he poop out
of celebration or out of
protest? No, his team lost apparently
so maybe out of fury. Yeah,
fury poo.
I wonder if this is Engadine Maccas
I wonder if this is true
But how did he
It must have been a booze thing right
Surely
There's some great graffiti of it though
What does the graffiti say
Oh it's just
It's just Scott Morrison's face
with Engadine Maccas over the front.
It's good stuff.
It's good stuff.
As if it's his slogan for life.
Let's see.
Go back to the email.
Come on, Gmail.
Be better.
I thought it might be up your alley, pun intended.
Someone even erected a plaque outside,
said McDonald's. There you go, yeah. I genuinely hope this rumor is true he's certainly done some
shitty things in his time like screwing up the vaccine rollout and sending us into long-term
lockdown in sydney so i figure it's time he pays his dues or doodles thoroughly the stupidest thing
i think i'm aware of any western country doing during the whole pandemic and i include the uk in that was only buying astrazeneca and then telling everyone
it was dangerous amazing truly sensational diplomacy good stuff scomo
as an aside have you noticed how americans say do do do do do diligence it sounds like
do do diligence and it never fails to remind me of Bud Pod.
You gotta do-do diligence.
I've got really
regular shitting. I work on my do-do
diligence. Eat more fiber.
I've attached an
article about the Prime Minister's faux poo for your
poo-rusel. Koji, Aaron.
P.S. I've pre-ordered.
Pre-ordered, she says. A copy of Phil's book
is a birthday present for myself
And I can't wait to read some side-splitting tales
Oh great
Hopefully he's really done it all
Good stuff
Hopefully you're mid-order at this point
Or post-order
Post-order? Yes it must be
Post-order
Must be
Bacon White

bacon why oh i love you um i hope people enjoyed the bacon white song was a bacon white song in
last week's it was in the vip area so maybe yes another teaser guys i i know i'm biased guys but
i honestly think it's worth four quid just to hear the Bacon White song
because Phil's really crooning out some good stuff.
Yeah, the bonus part has some good shit in it,
quite literally,
and I recommend it.
I've already got a spicy convo

She says I love the podcast
Honestly I've listened to it an ungodly amount
I think even one episode of this podcast
Is an ungodly amount
Yes While being trapped in student halls I think even one episode of this podcast is an ungodly amount yes
while being trapped in student halls you boys have provided
endless smelly entertainment I reckon I've listened
to every episode at least four times
wow wow wow
hope the degree didn't suffer
too badly
physicians do not recommend
podcast listeners hate her
this one lady podcast listeners hate her This one lady
Podcast listeners hate this one lady
For her weird trick
Of listening to four times
Budpod
One weird trick
Making me a strong contender as one of your most
Defecated Pistorians
Very good
Marvellous
I've been meaning to write in
for a while now, and then the other day, I shit
myself.
It wasn't devastating enough for this podcast,
but I knew it was a sign to finally send
you an email.
I'd love to know the moment
Ellie decided, no, this is bad
but it's not bad enough
Yeah, but also like
Oh, this isn't bad enough, but I will email them
Thanks, bum
Very humble
Some people may think
that Budpod is just two comedic chaps
recounting poopy tales and laughing at politicians
but this podcast is spreading awareness
about poop-related problems That's true a seriously underrepresented topic in the media
here's how phil's experience has helped me and my family oh i'm listening i like that sentence
it's like from a something where you're running for office yeah i. I'm Phil Lang, and I approve this message.
So she says, deep in the middle of lockdown,
my elderly and disabled granddad was required to give a stool sample for testing.
As he could not get a sample on his own, my mom had to do it.
She was dreading the experience and had no idea how to obtain the poo without getting too personal with her father-in-law.
Yeah, it's a tough one.
Oh, it's a rough one. Oh, it's a rough one.
Oh, it's a rough one, I tell ya.
Aha, I thought.
I told her of the infamous Bud Poo episode
and Phil's use of a poo hammock to catch the plop.
Yes, of course. Well, the kit should
have come with it.
Well, this is the thing.
I sound like... I don't know.
I sound like I'm a train spotter for poop tests.
This should have been a catching hammock with the set.
You should write to the manufacturer, because I think...
Yeah.
So she knew what must be done.
She bought some cling film and fashioned a hammock over the toilet.
The specimen lay comfortably on the sheet,
and my mum remained blessedly distant from any old man bums oh fantastic oh i'm i'm genuinely
chuffed to hear that that is good so a big thank you from my mum and i hope this serves as proof
that the podcast is educational educational and a feminist text fill in one day gosh maybe we're
getting ahead of ourselves has has Bud Pod become too intellectual?
Has Bud Pod become too woke?
This is, yeah, the latest in this week's Atlantic.
Has Bud Pod become too woke?
Bud Pod has become woke to attract younger listeners.
It's a good thing, but have they gone too far?
Quillette.
has become woke to attract younger listeners.
It's a good thing, but have they gone too far?
Quillette.
The preview of this article is available on Unheard,
but sign up to my sub stack for the full analysis.
I will continue to enjoy telling people weird facts I've learned from Bud Pod,
even if they're not 100% fact.
I can't wait to tell someone about London bus drivers' phantom vibrations in their butt.
Oh, great.
I'd forgotten about that.
