Hello, it's us, um, the Bud Pod Buds. Me, Phil Wang, and...
Piano Veli.
That's us. The Bud Pod duo, famed for our podcast, the Bud Pod. It is just called Bud Pod. On Twitter it's called The Bud Pod because Bud Pod was already taken.
Yeah, bafflingly.
Yeah.
And also...
I don't know who by.
I can't remember.
It was something where
it's like they haven't
tweeted in years and
they have four followers.
Probably hoping to sell
it to us for millions
when the day came around.
Well, good luck
because goons are
coming to your house
as we speak to break
all your legs.
All, all your legs.
You've made it sound
like this person has
many legs.
Well, we'll see,
won't we?
It's episode 19.
19!
We're about to break our second
decath...
decath... decath... decathcast.
A second collection
of ten podcasts.
Decacast.
I guess it would be a decacast.
We're about to hit a duodecacast.
A duodecacast. That'll get you laid. Ha! be a deca cast we're about to hit a do a deca cast that's a fun word just do a deca cast
that'll get you laid
a do a deca cast um i was just um uh saying to phil about how my shorts are too tight on my big
old thighs yeah unfortunately at the moment it is just the thighs that are um bulging bulging bulging yeah bulging out because i get like i
have to i get a massive waist so i have like a clown pants waist to try and desperately increase
the thigh size on offer and it does change but like not by much sorry what do you mean so like
i i go for a much larger waist than i need yeah to accommodate the thigh oh of course i've got
this flappy old waist yeah and there's still the thighs aren't big enough because english
shorts yeah are for sort of the english builds yes a big old gut and then sort of insectoidy
very thin small legs i don't understand this understand. This is a country of slim men
who in their older age just get a huge big cartoon beach ball gut
and are nevertheless slim.
Whereas you have a build like one of those trees
where your torso is the trunk,
but then those trees have roots that are almost as wide as the trunk.
You know, like a mangrove tree?
A baobab.
I'm a pear.
I'm an hourglass.
I'm a sort of mangrove tree.
I'm a kind of swampy saltwater tree man.
Yes, quite right.
And so I struggle with my billowing waist and my my straining thigh
tubes
I don't know how you've made them sound even
grosser calling them thigh tubes
now pod buds I have to
apologise for last week's
episode the sound
wasn't great I'm going to
put my hand up
and say I sounded I sounded a bit echoey um it sounded
to me a lot like pierre was having a conversation with me but i was refusing to get off the toilet
and so i was in the toilet and and i i had a sort of um kind of microphone you might see in a
dramatization of watergate ah yes and i'm pressing it like an old
60s wall my like there's a tape rolling inside of it yeah yeah yeah a big old tape yeah and i've got
my ear against it going so what do you think like through the wall yes the last part the last
episode did sound like it was recorded without my knowledge
the last podcast would be inadmissible in court. The last podcast I was wearing a wire.
Did you know?
Did you know that the UK is a single consent recording country?
So in the UK, I could record a conversation with anyone I wanted
as long as I was a member of the conversation.
Wow, really?
Whereas in parts of America, like some states in America,
that's legal and some it's illegal. It is still illegal in the UK, however, really? Whereas in parts of America, like some states in America that's legal
and some it's illegal.
It is still illegal
in the UK, however,
to record a conversation
clandestinely
between two people
and you're not apart.
So like you're across the road
in a hut.
What if you pretend
to be in it?
Like they say...
And you're going,
no, I was there!
The meeting's at five
and you just whisper,
oh, cool, that works for me.
I can do five. Or in your van outside FBI style, you're going, hmm, shrimp sounds great.
And then in court, you go, they invited me in from the van, and they said all their secrets
while I was there.
It was very convenient.
Now, what a play.
What a play that would be.
I know that in the state of New York in America, it's the same.
Actually, I think it might be flat out legal to record anyone without their knowledge. be i i know that in the state of new york and america it is the same you know um oh actually
i think it might be flat out legal to record anyone without their knowledge i think that
makes more sense in new york where you have like a paper thin wall between you and the meth den next
door where people are probably accidentally recording each other but also makes it absolutely
astonishing that there's only one tape of Donald Trump saying grab them by the pussy
I would have thought
there should be so many tapes
that they're just worthless
they're like Deutschmarks in a barrel
just kids playing with them
in the street
you need a wheelbarrow of tapes of Donald Trump saying grab them by the pussy
just for one loaf of bread
they've ruined this country
apparently there's loads of
crew members because you know he was the host of The Apprentice just for one loaf of bread. They've ruined this country. Apparently there's loads of like
crew members
because you know he was the host of The Apprentice
for ages.
So there's loads of like a whole decade or more
of cycle of crew members and camera people
who've just been on set
while he's being Donald Trump
not even trying to be a politician.
If you can imagine that.
But they all have NDAs.
They all get
shot in the face or something.
Fucking lawyers!
Yeah, this is it.
We didn't mean to make it topical, but this all
relates to the Boris Johnson argument thing, doesn't it?
What's that?
Because they recorded him through the wall.
Oh, of course, his neighbours.
His nosy neighbours
are just excited about their new
scoop about boris johnson these lefty remaining whiners i like uh all these journalists going if
there's one thing we can't stand it's clandestine recordings of uh powerful politicians
we have always been absolutely furious when anyone's handed us one of these
Yeah
Why can't I shout at the top of my lungs in private?
That's basically the argument, right?
Yeah
Why can't I scream into this thin, thin wall?
And be left alone
With that old eavesdropping McGee.
If I want to set off fireworks in my living room in the middle of the night
and start several small fires, that is my business.
It's my furniture.
I can set it alight with reckless explosives as and when I see fit.
I sort of admire almost Americas, even though they are insane,
at least they're consistent with
freedom is freedom,
I can do what I want. In Britain,
we still have no idea really how free
we want to be. No, everyone's very
unsure. Whereas, like you say,
with freedom of expression in America, there's
very few limitations. And by and large,
everyone is willing to admit
that they can find a benefit for their group.
So all the Christians are like,
ban the ban playboy.
But then they're like,
Oh wait,
we have all those unbelievably offensive gay conversion therapy radio
stations.
So.
So a little tit for tat.
Yeah.
We get ours.
You get yours.
Yeah. You get boobs we get our insane
gay conversion therapy centres run by
visibly gay men
it's a bit cynical
listeners but if you do want to
have a sort of
it is enjoyable but enjoyable
in a very bitter and sad way
there's any number of these guys who
later turned out to be gay or whatever.
But if you watch the videos
from when they weren't in quotes,
deus, they are.
They're camp, Phil.
There's no other word for it.
And you can be straight and camp,
but come on.
Yeah.
These guys are coming at it
from a personal angle, shall we say.
I was cured.
You know, that kind of thing.
Some of them do say that.
Yeah.
Some of them even claim that. It makes it a all the more tragic a lot more harder to watch a lot of american
stuff always reminds me of like medieval times like the amount of them that do genuinely just
believe in like demons it's weird and they want to believe it yeah they enjoy it i guess there's
not much to do on planes if you live where there's just corn i guess demons are pretty
you know it's the only way you're going to really enjoy If you live where there's just corn, I guess demons are pretty, you know,
it's the only way you're going to really enjoy yourself
if you imagine there's all these things flying around.
An angel.
Speaking of
demons in a field,
I've just come back from the
Glastonbury Music and
General Performing Arts Festival.
You were being a cool, hip festival boy.
Yeah.
It's not really my bag, really, the field festivals.
But I went to Glastonbury in 2017 and actually thought it was quite fun.
So I was performing again this time around.
But I thought, ah, no tent.
I'll splash out, hire myself a little camper van.
So I found this great little camper van hire place in Forest Hill in London.
Shout out to Camper Fantastic.
They're actually really lovely.
They're great.
And this van, they really kidded me up, man.
It was a delicious brand new Volkswagen Ocean.
Oh, you went for the proper
60s surfer yeah but like the new version so it's all like metallic and stuff and and modern
and with bluetooth um sound speakers whoa and uh like reversing cameras and uh sensors to make sure you don't bump into anything. Nice. And
air conditioning and a fridge and a
stove and a tap.
Whoa.
And a little wardrobe.
Two beds, one on the roof, one on the ground.
Oh, wow.
And so it meant I was working
Glastonbury at a loss, but...
But you could have sleepovers. Dude, it changes
the game. It it changes the game absolutely
changed the game I actually was looking I look I was looking forward to getting back to the van
yeah you're like and you you're saying to people you want to have a sleepover in my van
I got bunk beds
because usually if you're most people at the festival are drinking to try to forget that they're sleeping in a tent.
Yes.
Yeah.
And to try and forget that often in my case, there's a sort of inflatable mattress that
starts the night inflated, but you'll wake up at half past three just on the ground and
absolutely busting for a piss.
On the ground, the mattress, your hip bone is pressing right into the ground.
You can feel the details of old fossils in the ground.
You're rubbing against it so hard.
Ground that you swore when you just touch it with your hand.
It's quite soft, loamy soil.
But the second you lie down on it, you go, this could be a parking lot.
I could be in a fucking supermarket parking lot
the way this feels on my bones.
It's absolutely ghastly. I do know
that back when I was
much, much fatter,
well, since I'm not as fat,
sitting down on hard
surfaces, way less
fun. Yeah.
I get bum pain so much faster.
So there's a sense of rebellion
and sort of freedom when you're young about sitting on something that isn't a chair yeah
but as you get older you start to realize you can appreciate the value of chairs and why they're
designed that way and why they're about knee height and also why uh it's nice to be able to
put on your trousers without having to stand up outside in rain.
Oh, fuck yeah.
Putting on trousers in a tent.
And running across a field just for a desperate, like, nighttime piss.
There's no dilemma harder than waking up in the middle of the night in the tent and really needing a piss.
Yeah.
I mean, what the fuck do you...
I've done a bottle wee before.
I've done it. Yeah. What mean, what the fuck do you... I've done a bottle weed before. I've done it.
Yeah.
What kind of bottle?
Like wine?
It was,
it was one of those,
it was one of those
big square ones
you get at Oaxaca.
Like an old tequila bottle.
I think it was just
a backstage water bottle.
Yeah, sure.
But there was no plastics I guess in me this year, so good luck with your tent piece. I've got to pee in a backstage water bottle. Yeah, sure. But there was no plastics, I guess, in me this year,
so good luck with your tent, Pease.
I've got to pee in a big paper bag and just let it seep through.
Pop it over someone's head like it's a prank.
I like the idea of that, like, now everyone has to throw piss at bands
using little jars and bits of paper.
Yeah, little sort of sailor's tin cups.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Now, I had to park up behind the cabaret tent,
which meant leaving my beautiful, shiny camper van
among the freaks and the jugglers.
And I was just terrified the whole weekend
that someone's going to scratch up
and mess up
this beautiful
camper van
right yeah
because some carny
is going to be juggling knives
and
like a bunch of guys
parked right in front of
this huge van
and brought out
like wicker chairs
and made like a veranda
like pressing up
against the front of the car
I was like
every time any of that wicker
started to touch the headlights
I moved the chair
but over the weekend had a great time, saw some great bands.
Van was fine.
We packed up late on a Sunday night.
Saw Janelle Monáe, one of the best gigs I've ever seen.
Ran to the van.
Van is pristine.
We pack up.
11.30 p.m., we leave.
So we're missing the bulk of the traffic that's going to happen the next morning
when 200,000 people leave a field. 30pm we leave, so we're missing like the bulk of the traffic that's going to happen the next morning when everyone's going, when
200,000 people leave
a field. And also, can we just say
leave a field in the one part of the country
with no highways.
Astonishingly. You have to get on
the A20567
dash B
X hyphen and
we get back
to
Brixton.
Yeah.
And we park up and it's a bit narrow and I scratch the fucking front left of the van.
Getting back.
Parking in London, getting back.
No.
Bank. Parking in London getting back.
Took it to return back to the
wonderful rental place
this morning.
And I'll be
lucky if it's £400.
Oh, fuck.
Jesus Christ.
So that kind of put a
damper on the whole weekend.
You were the carny all along.
The carny was in me the whole time!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ah, there's one.
Oh, another.
Excuse me...
Oh, they're all out today, aren't they?
Oh, I should have brought a bigger bag. Excuse me, sir. Oh, a're all out today, aren't they? Oh, I should have brought a bigger bag.
Excuse me, sir.
Yes?
Can I just ask, there's no pool toys in this...
That's the next session here.
This is just lane use.
Oh, no, don't mind me.
I'm just harvesting.
Oh no, don't mind me. I'm just harvesting.
Right, you can't use that little net thing now.
People are trying to... Oh no, don't mind me. I'm just harvesting.
Right, well, what are you collecting?
Hmm?
Well, what are you...
You're not even dressed for swimming.
Although, thank you for not wearing outside shoes.
Plasters!
I come here to collect plasters.
Plasters?
Plasters.
Use plasters.
Plasters that come off your body when you swim.
I'm Brie Wadette, and I scoove about at the pool.
Right, do you work for the...
No one's the wiser.
Do you work for the pool?
Sorry, are you...
Who's told you you can be here and do this?
Oh, no one's told me.
No one's told me...
Sorry, hang on.
I don't know why I'm not asking...
I can be here, but if there's any consolation,
people have told me that I can't.
Right, that's the opposite of consolation, actually.
I see what you're trying to do there with balance.
No.
Why?
Why are you doing this?
That is disgusting.
What? What? What's disgusting?
The plaster. What are you...
The disgusting of a plaster? It's just a human body. It's part of a human body.
Well, it's not, is it?
Yeah.
But why do you want other people? I can't believe I'm asking this.
It comes off the body. It's part of the body. It's natural.
Yeah, but why do you need... What's this for?
Why does anyone need anything? Why do you need food?
Well, so I can stay alive long enough to find out why you're doing this.
Ah, touche.
I see you have come toe-to-toe with the master of the debating form.
Sure.
Now, I think we've agreed to disagree, so on your way.
Right. Well, no, that's not
going to work again.
I was surprised last week.
Yeah, I bet you were, and so was my boss.
So that's why I'm even more determined this week
to find out... Well, first of all, I'm going to
have to manhandle you out the door.
But secondly, I genuinely cannot
believe myself, but I do need to
know why.
Why?
Why do I collect plasters that come off the bodies of strangers in my local swimming pool?
Yes.
So they'll be remembered.
Do you ever think about that?
No.
All these plasters, all these people, this really poor, people
they'll forget. They'll forget any of this
was here. They'll forget any of us
were here. They'll forget any of us
had plasters on.
They'll forget any of us scraped our knees.
They'll forget any of us
nicked ourselves with a salad knife.
But I won't.
I'll have these plasters.
Reminders of days gone, never to be retrieved again.
Of mistakes made but sealed over in glow antiseptic.
I will be the soul keeper of our stories. I will collect these tales. I will pass on our legacy to the next generation
through these plasters
so when you ask me why I do this
I tell you
why not
I ask you
if not me
who
and if not now
when
oh that was that was beautiful And if not now, when?
Oh, that was beautiful.
Mm-hmm. Thank you.
But could you please just wait till you get home to eat them?
Oh. Fuck, man. What did you scratch it on? Another car? Fuck man
What did you scratch it on? Another car?
It was this fucking
It was a lamppost
That looked from where I was sat in the van
Very far away from the van
But of course for absolutely no reason
Had a fuck off huge concrete foundation
Underneath it
That was just about wheel height
And it's too big it was way too
wide it's it's sticking under the road looks like it's designed to stop people from stealing the
lamppost we're knocking it over that's outrageous and just to be that close to a perfect trip
and at the end and you threw all your new ponchos
and rage out into the street
all your beads
and what's so annoying
the worst thing about that is
I just went okay well that's my next two weeks
of mental health ruined
because I will be
obsessing over
how do I go back in time
and not do that?
What unreasonable things can I imagine having done?
Yes.
Yeah, that will not have led to that.
You know what I think it is?
So I have a terrible sense of regret.
So much so that I actively fear regret.
And I don't do things because I'm scared I will regret doing them wrongly or badly afterwards.
You are one of the people who I think should get a big neck tattoo that says regrets.
And most of the pain comes from the feeling that I can change it or that I should change it.
And I never can.
And you could have avoided it.
And I think a lot of it is to do with having played so many video games.
Save points.
And save points.
And being able to go back and fix your mistake.
Yes.
And I genuinely think that's a big part of my terrible regret.
In a sense, regret.
I feel that it's conditioned in me that I could fix it.
That I can go back and fix
it but i can't find the button in real life so you keep thinking it yeah so i just keep going
over in my head again and again and again and again how to fix the problem that's already
happened it's like licking an ulcer it keeps going is it still there and then that makes it worse
each time you're keeping the ulcer around i i used to be more like that and you know what actually
did help i when i did art at school and I still do it sometimes
just using Indian ink
so Indian ink dries
and it's waterproof when it dries
so I could draw something in Indian ink
wait for it to dry and just do watercolors all over it
it doesn't smudge
but if you make a mistake you're fucked
if it gets on your clothes you're fucked
it's the ultimate ink
but you can't
when I would draw with a pencil and an eraser a rubber saw rather gets on your clothes you're fucked it's like the most it's the ultimate ink yeah but you can't like
when i would draw with a pencil and an eraser a rubber saw rather uh i would be all fiddly and
like that wall's not quite right i'll just rub it out and do it again it would take fucking forever
and it wouldn't like be like spontaneous nice lines and draw start drawing with ink i don't
draw at all i have to just start drawing we'll just start drawing with make sure you start
drawing with ink because then you just go right now you've made a big mistake
you've smeared ink in this big line you have to incorporate that now too bad shit that's part of
the drawing now could could the cure to my regret lie in the ink pot art therapy with bud pot
so that's just a real kick in the ass
However
A real punch in the chops
However, one great thing did come out of Glastonbury
You had a catchphrase shouted at you
Yes, I did
On the first gig
I did two shows
On the Saturday and the Sunday
And at the end of the first one
I said
well thanks guys
don't come tomorrow
it'll be the same shit
and someone went
oh yeah
sorry what
and someone in the middle of the time went
keep jacking it
I was furious
what did you do how did you react
well I said
I explained to
everyone else
that that is
a catchphrase
from our podcast
and that
hearing it out of context
sounds absolutely horrible
and that I considered
a technique
an act of terrorism
because this person
knows how
how much I hate
that catchphrase
did you see them
yeah yeah what do they look like gleeful yes were they like and knows how much I hate that catchphrase. Did you see them? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What do they look like?
Gleeful!
Yes!
Were they like in crazy, I'm a festival person clothes
or were they in I'm camping quite seriously clothes?
He was a dude, youngish dude in pretty normal clothes actually.
Good centrist clothes.
Blend in.
Yeah.
To the crowd.
Yeah.
Strike like a viper and melt away.
in to the crowd.
Strike like a viper and melt away.
And I later found out that
MP and
general legend
lady Jess Phillips was in.
Jess Phillips came to see me. She tweeted
actually. She came to see me.
Jess Phillips MP, right honourable. All the other words.
Yeah, which I thought was very cool.
That's very cool.
Yeah.
That's the real split in politics now, isn't it?
Your MP
An MP is either cool enough to be at Glastonbury
And be tweeting at you
Or is so old and insane
That it's like one of the most malevolent zombies
From the Victorian era
And those are just like the two types of MP
Those are the two types that seem engaged on social media.
Yes, that's right.
Social media MPs are either super cool and nice Glastonbury people
or the monster on all the Iron Maiden album covers.
And it was not a friend because I was tweeting about Jess coming.
Jess, like, you know jess phillips coming to
the gig on twitter saying how how chuffed i was and i had a friend takes me saying jess phillips
is too um lefty for you what no just because i this is how mad this is the position we're in now
because i tweet and talk about um corbin's opposition, the leadership, being a bunch of anti-Semitic morons.
Yeah.
That I couldn't like assess any Labour politician.
Also like...
Like a sensible...
Also like loads of the...
Middle ground politicians.
Loads of the proper like Corbyn Twitter fanatics troll Jess Phillips all the time.
They don't like her.
They hate her.
Absolutely hate her.
But I have this problem as well, where because I'm not pleased with how the progressive left is doing,
everyone's like, oh, you probably want everyone to live in a big tin bath.
And they project this nonsense onto you.
But then at the same time, you and I will both get, if we ever pop up on the BBC or something,
we'll both get tweets from an unbelievably red man.
Say, oh, the lefty lovies on the BBC gravy train.
And all those fucking catchphrases they've learned from watching Rod Little on Question Time or whatever the fuck.
It's very irritating.
My second performance was also quite politically charged.
Really?
On Sunday, yeah.
But in a different way.
Someone said stop jacking it
That would have been outrageous
But it's good to have the balance
At least we're having the conversation
It's the dialogue that's important
Take on people who want you to stop jacking it
In the marketplace of ideas
Whether you think we should
Keep jacking it
Or stop jacking it,
we have to come together
and find a middle ground.
And believe in Britain.
Maybe we sometimes jack it.
Believe in Britain.
Maybe we sometimes jack it.
Maybe we follow a Norway model.
On the Sunday, I was doing my stand-up
and I got to a bit about...
I got to a bit about the Japanese.
I've got a bit about my Japanese hairdresser.
Oh, yes, yes.
And I do his voice.
That's a good bit.
And I talk about the Japanese.
And then you do a whole bit about doing the voices.
Yes.
And I do a bit about forgiving the Japanese for the Second World War
in a tongue-in-cheek manner and um suddenly
this a man runs towards the stage right and shouts i'm japanese and starts flicking the
v's on me and i look down and it is a japanese guy it's a middle-aged japanese man and he's
flicking the v's and doing the the the fight where you how do how would you describe that
where you slap your palm
into your bicep
and curl it
and you curl it
the sort of
my forearm is a dick
and up it goes
yeah and up it goes
and at the end of that dick
is also the V's
I'm flipping you
so he was implying
that he was showing you
his erect penis
and his erect penis
had two fingers
coming out the end
yeah
wow
he had like a
dual pronged penis
yeah
and he was like
ah fuck you
ah
and people were like and he ran back
to the back of the tent right and and then i said uh did you come over run to me run in here just to
do that and he said yes and then pressed for a response yeah an old tweet of yours came to my mind.
Oh, yeah.
And I said,
it's not like the Japanese to mount a surprise attack.
Yes.
And everyone went, yeah.
Nicely done.
It turns out that comeback is,
you can apply it to almost any aggressive move a Japanese person or entity makes.
The second anything, even vaguely Japanese, does anything,
you could just make a reference to it.
Yeah.
I thought you were going to make some kind of incredibly dark, like,
rape of Nanking.
Oh, no, I then said, all right, see you next war.
I then said, all right, see you next wall.
And what was funny was a reporter from China Daily was in.
Yeah.
Because he was going to interview me afterwards about how Glastonbury was going. And he put a big tick next to your name on the government's list.
The commenters.
I'm in the good books of China Daily now, which is good.
That's good.
But it was a fun time.
I saw some really great music.
Oh, yeah?
We had Keep Jackin' It, obviously.
And Jeff Goldblum was there.
Piss off.
Jeff Goldblum and his jazz band were playing one of the stages.
What?
Of course he has a jazz band.
So obviously I went to see Jeff Goldblum.
Yes. And everyone's
like, surely he's not with Jeff Goldblum. You turn up
and on stage, yeah, there's Jeff Goldblum in a
ridiculous jacket.
Oh, hi.
Hi, everybody.
Thank you so much
for coming to see me.
Yeah, it's wonderful to be here.
Wonderful to be here. Glassenberry? Glassenberry. I guess. Glassenberry. For coming to see me Yeah It's a Wonderful year Wonderful beer Glastonbury
Glastonbury
I guess
Glastonbury
And then he was handed
He was handed a sheet of paper
And he just
His instant reaction
To being handed a sheet of paper
He went
True or false
I've never seen
This piece of paper before
True or false
Really
Give me a cheer for true
And everyone went
Yeah
Give me a cheer for false
And people went
Yeah
But it's true.
I've never seen this piece of paper before.
And he started reading it.
And it was just a list of cities in the UK.
Right.
And the nicknames people have, the people who are there from there have.
Right.
And so he just had a whale of a time going through cities.
Are there any Geordies in
And someone goes wow
What about Scousers
Scousers
And the best part was when he said
How about
People in from Sunderland
If you ever lost your mind it's Sunderland
Sunderland
Sounds like the worst theme park in the world Sunderland If anyone lost their mind it's Sunderland Sunderland It sounds like the worst theme park in the world
Sunderland
Oh yeah
The price of entry is a can of white stripe
The best bit
White lightning rather
I'm getting my booze confused
What was the best bit?
The best bit of Glastonbury
Of most musical performances For me bit of Glastonbury, of most musical performances for me,
but especially Glastonbury,
is listening to Americans pronounce British cities.
So you got to the point where people became
completely desensitized to Glastonbury.
Yeah.
Newcastle.
Newcastle.
Where's the old one?
And my favorite version of this was watching the Wu-Tang Clan
Who were great
But the first one to come on stage
Was the DJ one
Who ran on stage
Grabbed his decks
And went
What's up London
That was my favourite part of the whole weekend
That was my favourite part of the whole event
What did the crowd do
people kind of just went
yeah
you kind of have to right because you're already
a fan that's why you're there
so you don't want to start by going
well boo on principle
or just no
wrong
it would be funny if the whole crowd as one just went
wrong like thousands of people just barking out the word wrong No. Wrong. It would be funny if the whole crowd as one just went, Wrong.
Like thousands of people just barking out the word wrong.
In perfect unison.
Yeah, like a horrifying rally.
Wrong.
I'd just like to thank you all for making this Glastonbury the first year it's been entirely free of single-use plastic bottles.
And that means that you've all been using multiple-use metal bottles
or small paper cups to hurl your piss at Keane.
And so encouraging to see people using small paper wraps for cocaine and molly.
Big up the South London crew and all the other mandem that are here.
I'll see you at Chemical Brothers.
Hashtag Atty Out.
Mic drop.
British festivals seem to me an indication that the British people will never really get away
and don't want to get away from their inherent barbarism.
I think that's true.
All the civilized
behavior and stuff is for the rest
of the time, but they want to keep their
verging on pagan.
It's very pagan.
It's pagan and it's mad
and it's angry. It's like the
fucking purge. Yes. It's like British
purge. Yeah.
I think that's what happens. If you spend the whole year not
saying anything when someone pushes in a queue,
that builds up to
the point where you start sniffing ketamine of someone's
rank balls.
Oh, I'm gonna
shit in a field and
throw piss at a superstar.
And I don't give
a shit if it's the Wu-Tang Clan
or Jeff Goldblum.
I'm hurling a load of piss
in a muddy field
covered in shit and sweat.
Yeah, there's a real savagery to it.
Yes, that man's just
a push in front of me at the cube,
but I'll just hold on to that
and throw shards of glass at Beyonce
this July.
But it's the same as the drinking, isn't it?
Yeah. Where it's like every Saturday night
in every town centre up and down this great
nation of ours, people just
flip their fucking
lids. And they don't even do it
in like Germany or France or
Spain, just nowhere.
And no one is surprised.
Everyone's like, oh, yeah.
No one is surprised that their colleagues,
who have not said a word all week,
rip off their clothes and go insane.
Like a superhero.
It's weird.
When I was in Rome back a few podcasts ago,
we were walking around these alleyways that's
an old imperial measurement for time isn't it yes yes yes yes yonder yonder is yonder field
there's three podcasts hence um yeah we were walking around these alleyways and there were
all these like you know piazzas and town squares little mini towns pizzas all these little pizzas
people were congregating. That's right.
And it was like late
and everyone was drinking
and people just sat
on these fountains with booze
and there were loads
of young people
like the average age
and it was fine.
No one was even shouting.
I remember going on
The craziest thing
that was happening
was a living statue man
was doing a dance
in the most touristy one
and no one was paying
any attention to it.
That's because they shout
they have the opposite.
They shout and gesticulate the rest of the time that's true isn't it if you spend all day going
i can't wait for the weekend when i can finally just quiet down a bit and maybe
i just wanted to relax
maybe that's it maybe that's the solution because like it's not normal to live in a country where
you sort of wake up on a saturday morning or a sunday morning and you walk through your town
center or the high street and there's just piles of sick just dotted you go oh yep yep big pile of
sick just and like people going and when we were at old Cambridge University together,
before we met each other at the Illuminati meeting
where we get given secret advice by Stephen Fry.
And MacBooks.
And MacBooks.
For a limited time.
Even the Illuminati couldn't afford that long term.
A friend of mine befriended an American student.
Ooh. Ooh.
Yeah.
This lady was studying in Cambridge from the Midwest.
So she was probably...
That's a long commute.
You're listening to LBC.
Hi.
So she'd come all the way from the Midwest
and was a bit sort of folksy down home, you know?
Sorry, are you filming something?
She was a bit folksy, if you know what I mean. She was a bit folksy down home. Ginger. Her down home was a bit sort of folksy down home, you know? Are you filming something? She was a bit folksy, if you know what I mean.
She was a bit folksy down home.
Her down home was a bit folksy.
She's got a guitar up there.
She's got a guitar up there.
Anyway, she says to this friend of mine,
who's also a lady, a lady person,
she says,
I can't believe a city as prestigious
and medieval as Cambridge
has such a terrible problem with prostitution.
And my friend's like, really?
And she's like, yes.
Here's all these prostitutes I've seen.
My friend's like, where are they?
Is it like Mill Road or something?
It was a bit scuzzy when we were there.
And it turns out she was just talking about
all the ladies. On a night out?
Yeah. She was literally
on Friday night and Saturday night
there's all these people who aren't wearing any clothes just walking
up and down the street yelling and drunk and
hanging out in alleyways smoking
and she'd just seen them as prostitutes.
Also how unprofessional does she think our prostitutes
are? Have some respect. How dare
she? Drinking on the job.
I don't think so. Not in
Great Britain.
Believe in Britain.
But yeah, she'd
gone, those are definitely
sex workers. Yeah, I mean,
that might be her also coming from
the Midwest. Oh, that's totally it.
But it's part of that kind of thing of
like, there's that stupid, lame, boring
joke that comedians have to make about
Geordie girls where they just wear like
a belt
two belts and they go out
in the snow ha ha ha but it is
also true that's why it's a boring
cliche to say it's unfunny
because it's true
that's good
that's good yeah that's a good piece
of comedy theory it's funny because it's true until it's so true it's unfunny because it. Yeah, that's a good piece of comedy theory.
It's funny because it's true until it's so true it's unfunny because it's true.
Yeah.
Yeah. It's unfunny because it's been true for too long.
And people keep saying it.
Yeah.
Because it's an easy way to get people to go,
Ha ha, yeah.
Ha ha ha ha.
Yo, yo.
Ha ha, yeah.
Ha ha, yo.
I guess I've never seen it that way.
You got something there
put that in your sketch
you could do a skit about that
put that in your stand up sketch
yeah I've been told to put a lot of things
in my stand up sketch
has anyone ever told you something
you've got something there
everyone told me something and then I've said back to something You've got something there Has anyone told me something
And then I've said back to them you've got something there
Yeah yeah when someone says like hey
Like a taxi driver or whatever says oh you should do
You should do jokes about
Sunglasses
You know when people make these mad suggestions
Has anyone ever
Had a point
I had a good one
I'm sure once or twice but because they've offered it to me I've had to point? I had a good one. Yeah. I'm sure once or twice,
but because they've offered it to me,
I've had to convince myself it's not good.
On pure principle grounds.
Yeah, because the buck has to stop somewhere.
I can't open that floodgate.
Oh, God.
Can you imagine if a famous comedian on Twitter just tweeted,
anyone got any ideas?
Anyone got any thoughts on modern life yeah you know jerry seinfeld just does like an instagram story with a question and answer
and the question just what's the deal with and then blank just always follows the type it in
i would love that though to to get someone of Jerry Seinfeld's caliber and forcing them through crowdsourcing topics to do a Seinfeld level routine about...
And then he looks and it's like, you know, something like Snapchat dick pics or whatever.
Something he'd never normally address.
Or like a meme.
Yeah.
That would be good.
I'd like that.
Crowdsource Seinfeld.
Crowdsource Seinfeld.
Yeah.
Bully Seinfeld into addressing topics he has no interest in.
Using the power of the crowd.
Because people are power.
And power is people.
That's good.
Yeah?
You could work for literally any political party.
It's interesting, isn't it?
None of them go, the people suck.
Put us in charge Not them
For a better future
For all not nobody
And not a bad future
It'll be good
It won't be bad
It'll be the opposite of bad
It'll be good like that time you remember when it was good
It'll be like like that time you remember when it was good it'll be like then
thank you
correspondence so some correspondence uh and and there is a backlog Because you love us listeners
And we love you
And what more appropriate thing
For a podcast
Mainly about poo to have
Than a backlog
Nicely done
Thank you
That was good poo referencing
Thanks that's how I got this job
Or jobby
So Ah a challenger appears Thanks, that's how I got this job. Or jobby. Jobby.
So.
Ah, a challenger appears.
Nathan gets in touch.
Oh, hi, Nate.
And he says, hey, PodBuds, the subject of the email line was fuck, cunt, and koji.
Okay.
And as we've established. Let's see where this goes.
Koji is keep jacking it.
It is.
It sounds like a dog.
Was there a dog?
A terrifying monster dog called Kojak.
Was Kojak a dog?
Kojak was a detective series with a bald man.
We did Kony.
We had Koji last time.
Okay.
So now it's hashtag Koji 2012.
Keep Jacking It 2012.
He says...
I mean, if you think about it, very, very insensitive.
But it is funny.
He says, sorry for the expletive-laden subject to the email,
but I wanted to get in touch to discuss fornication under consent of the king.
Oh, yes.
So this is the acronym.
Yeah, he said you did an excellent job undermining the stupid theory
on the etymological root of the word fuck.
I mean, what fornication under consent of the kinging idiot would believe such nonsense?
Plus, in English, especially by the 20th century, permission is given by
consent, not under consent.
I doubt even the most ill-educated medieval
peasant would consider under proper usage.
And then I'm doing, I'm
following his performance instructions for this bit.
Okay. Excuse my rudeness,
me lord, but as this act is permitted
by the king's consent and not under it,
shouldn't what I'm doing with my wife
in my mouldy wooden shack be known as
for bucking?
It's quite fun. Gave me some little performance
play there to do. Did he tell you to do the accent?
He did, yeah. He said, in your fine medieval peasant
accent. Oh, that's good. I like me lord.
Presumably...
Is it based on the peons in Warcraft?
Yeah, yes, I think so, yeah.
Yes, me lord. Yes, my lord.
Work, work, work.
I still love Stronghold
for that.
More wood is needed.
You can increase
the amount of food everyone gets to make them happier,
but it will deplete your stocks.
And the most you can give everyone is double rations.
And everyone gets all fat and happy.
And when you pull the meter up to double rations
the voice goes, double rations?
It's funny.
I didn't get this game.
And then he says
so presumably once a year the king wearing a crown
and an ermine cloak with jewels would visit
each village to enforce his eccentric policy.
His courtiers would stride
beside him bearing placards embossed with a
gothic typeface which reads
cunt, copulation usually
not tolerated, thanks for the podcast
and of course Koji, keep on joking
very good email Nathan
thank you Nathan, that was very high quality
shit, very very good
Jonathan gets in touch again
ah Jonathan, our friend
currently teaching in Mexico
or Mexico
dear earbuds or Mexico Our friend, currently teaching in Mexico. Or Mexico. Or Mexico.
Dear Earbuds,
Or Mexico.
Or Mexico.
After completing the very common teacher's side quest of marking exams,
I was catching up with the last three episodes of Budpod and came across another side quest,
courtesy of a small mistake in your broadcast.
Oh, for fuck.
Yes, so basically he remembers that we made that mistake
about Lennon having the affair with Frida Kahlo,
but it was Trotsky.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Classic Bud Pod.
And he's in Mexico.
He's in what?
He's in Mexico.
Oh, of course.
Where all this shit went down.
Yeah.
So, it was in fact Trotsky, not Lennon, yes, who took up residence in Frida Kahlo's home.
Yeah.
With her husband, prominent Mexican artist, Diego Rivera.
And cuck, apparently.
Apparently, the first ever snowflake
cuck.
And they're all communists, so
some of it's lining up.
If the shoe fits.
If the marching boot fits. I was about to say, what is a
cuck shoe? If a big curly shoe? I don't know.
What is a cuck shoe? What is a commie cuck shoe?
I don't know. I guess it wouldn't be a marching boot.
It'd be like a little canvas kind of...
Like a boat shoe. Yeah.'t know. I guess it wouldn't be a marching boot. It'd be like a little canvas kind of... Like a boat shoe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tassels.
Basically, by moving into there, he couldn't get any...
Oh, yes, no.
Rivera stopped protecting them because they had a big affair.
And then they moved away.
Oh, good for him.
And Rivera couldn't protect them anymore.
So that meant the assassin could come in and ice pick the fuck out of old trotters.
That's why he died?
Yeah, he got ice picked to death in Mexico.
With Frida?
I don't know if with Frida, but certainly in the house.
Casa Azul.
Yeah, so this chap came in and said, hey, let me talk to that important guy.
And everyone went, well, okay.
But you better not ice pick him.
You looking for ice?
Well, what is an ice pick?
Like, what climbers use to get through, to climb up there?
Yeah, one of those handheld things with a big, like, pickaxe head on it.
That's an ice pick.
They ice picked him in the brain?
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah, right in this goddamn brain.
It would not be my weapon of choice.
It doesn't seem like a sure thing.
Very suspicious in Mexican climbers.
To even have an ice pick.
Like, oh, it's for icing my drinks.
I like tiny ice. Okay. It's a have an ice pick. Like, I go, Oh, it's for ice in my drinks. I like tiny ice.
Okay.
It's a mojito pick.
It's a margarita pick.
It's,
you know,
the ice is too big.
Otherwise.
Um,
and thank you very much.
Um,
Matt,
uh,
getting in touch saying,
uh,
how hilarious.
Now he's,
he's,
he's,
there's so many. Okay. Thank you. He's in Matt's life. He's now laughing when they happen in real time and making things a bit weird how hilarious he's there's so many okay thank yous in Matt's life
he's now laughing when they happen in real time
and making things a bit weird but he's thanking us
for that burden
no no he's noticing them
as they occur
yeah I understand that happening to me as well
it's a risky game we play here at Budpod
we're
in great danger of giving you things you can't unsee yes quite right yeah
um speaking of which i meant to reference this and i forgot because it was um on my instagram
as opposed to in the email uh but uh what was it alan alan got in touch and sent me a picture of
uh uh it's a some kind of ice cream in a shop in Berlin and it's called
Bum Bum for Two.
It does say Bum Bum for Two.
It literally says Bum Bum for Two. In big bubble writing.
Shaped like a bum.
So it's hard to imagine they don't know what they're doing there.
Bum Bum Ice for a Bum Bum Life.
Bum Bum Ice for a Bum Bum Life.
And Bum Bum Cream for a Bum Bum Dream.
Thank you for that, Alan.
Elise gets in touch.
Mum, the bum bum van is here.
Can I have some money?
We all remember telling our kids
that they only play the bum bum music
from the bum bum van
when they've run out of bum bums.
Fun trick to play.
I bum, you bum. We all bum for bum bums
Dog's licking my bum bum
There's nothing sadder than watching a kid
Drop their bum bum on the pavement
Right after they've bought it
Elise gets in touch
Greetings P. Diddy's
oh okay
nice
giving us some much needed
street cred
a decade old street cred
at least
yeah
two decades
two decades
fuck
street cred decays
into just cred
is it like
I think it has like
half life
yeah
it just becomes lead
after a while
after a while.
After a lot of contemplation,
I've thoroughly thought through my most authoritarian libertarian...
Oh, good.
Thank you for thinking about it.
Firstly, my most authoritarian...
My most authoritarian thought
is that there should be a time limit
on everyone getting ready for a night out.
You're allowed 30 minutes for makeup
or 45 minutes if you're doing hair, too.
I hate having to wait around
for my friends to get ready
when I have a strict appointment
at Wetherspoons to keep
now this is a lady saying this
I think I agree with
this rule but women
we expect you to self
legislate yes we're not going to
enter that
we don't know what how much time
you want or need
yeah but for us I would say for the fellas We don't know how much time you want or need. Yeah.
But for us, I would say, for the fellas, 30 seconds.
Yeah.
Well, I used to have that routine.
It's like, is there shit on my face?
Am I wearing clothes?
All right.
Time to leave the house.
The worst offenders are those who claim that makeup is their hobby,
as if that's a reasonable excuse.
Again, can't stress enough,
a lady's saying this and not me or Phil.
You don't see me
throwing on my jodhpurs
and taking the horse
for a trot around the field
30 minutes before
we're scheduled to go out.
Fair enough.
Save your hobbies
for your own time.
I have cheap pitchers
to be drinking.
My most liberal thought
is a simple one.
Anything that you can pee on is officially
your property. Okay, so
kind of a law of the jungle there.
Yeah, so beforehand, everyone would have to take a blood oath
at 18, promising not to be a dick about it.
But after that,
it's anybody's game. If it's good enough for dogs,
it's good enough for us. Happy jacking,
Elise. I have to disagree with that
final statement. I want less piss
on things, I'd say.
Yeah, if anything, too many things smell of piss.
I would agree with that.
I'd say I've never smelt piss outside and gone, at last.
But is maybe the test she's proposing that you should only have things that you want badly enough,
you don't mind they smell of piss yes that's
fair like I want like I want it so much I wasn't willing to piss on it I think
an opposite yeah allamans cutting the baby into I'd say that I said the thing
that really makes you dedicated if you're willing to lick an object
licking is like I don't mind getting ill that's how much I want this whereas you
can piss on stuff and you'd never going to get ill, really, unless you piss on an
electric fence. What if it's a
harmonica that you really
want? You're going to have to piss on that.
You're going to put that in your mouth. Yeah, that's
true. Okay, pissing on mouth
things. Mouthing on piss things.
That's the rule. Pissing
on mouth things? Yeah.
And mouthings on pissings.
Okay, my Siri's just gone on
Siri's heard us talk about
piss
can't me in
Phil set his Siri
to react really immediately to the word
piss
hey piss
get me home
so Gabriel gets in touch
hey Gabe dear Philippou and Pouet piss get me home um dear uh so uh gabriel gets in touch hey gabe dear philipoo and poo air nice
yes i thought yeah well funny philip in mandarin is philly poo philly poo so i presume that's what
he's getting at but no it's a costification yes it is again of course and poo air uh
he's sort of a poo it's really p air Pierre Anyway Yeah A weed on my name
That's why it's mine
Long time listener
First time writer in a
Proud to say
I've converted a friend
To the Bud Pod church
Ah
That's
Like Gabriel himself
In Bible times
This Gabriel
Is doing the
Good work
Right
Good work of the Lord
I don't know if it's good work
I mean it's a conversion
Certainly
Yeah
But I don't think it's...
To the sexy, naughty church we all run.
Yeah, it's not salvation you've won for your friend.
No, it's poo stories.
It's poo stories.
One of the kids I teach chess to had been really excited to tell me how good at table tennis he was.
Okay.
So I told him to show me at lunchtime.
At lunch, he proceeded to hit the ball with a strong eight Louies in my direction,
flying just past my head. I instantly shouted
I could have gone in my eye!
Before cracking up thinking about Tommy Robinson
getting milkshaked, much to the kid's bemusement.
On a side note, very happy
to hear you're getting into chess. I'd offer
a free chess lesson, I used to get paid
£40 an hour, if Pierre does
some more Age of Empire noises.
Well we've already had Stronghold and
World of Warcraft. Not World of Warcraft, Warcraft.
Warcraft. I used to, I did
The Villager's Being Created.
That's very good.
It's eerie, isn't it? That's very, very good.
So there's
and then there's
oh god, the
stable noise is just a whinnying horse.
What about The barracks being
built is
I swear there's
like a saw
is there a building
one
where you go
oh maybe
oh when you click
on a monastery
it goes
there's definitely
that's the you're
being attacked noise
yes that's it
yes
when you click
the monastery
it goes
just like the tail end of some chanting.
There's a wallaloo in Age of Empires I, the priest.
I can't believe how hard we're trying for a free chest.
Oh my god, for a free chest, that cannot possibly manifest.
Anyway.
The secret Budpod greeting could be,
after someone shakes hands with you, you exclaim,
Ow, that really hurt!
Again, high risk.
Again. All these suggestions are very high risk. If you're wrong, you exclaim, ow, that really hurt! Again, high risk. Again.
All these suggestions are very high risk.
If you're wrong, you're dead.
These, like, all of these people,
if they were in the resistance during the war, would have been shot ages ago.
All their secret signals
are very high risk and hard to
explain if you don't know what you're doing.
He says the coolest uncool thing is
Phil Wang.
Oh, that's a compliment, I think. Kind of. Keep chessing it.
Gabriel. Okay.
Okay. Thank you for doing a
conversion, Gabriel. That's exactly the kind of thing.
I cannot fathom
how a chess lesson goes.
I think you just play chess and they go,
that's good chess, that's bad chess.
Good chess. So you just play a game of chess
and they go,
well,
what have you done wrong there?
I think they teach you.
Because that's just a very
obnoxious game of chess.
Yeah.
And that's what you do.
You pay someone to bully you.
I think it's also
they teach you principles.
Like,
oh,
you must never
move the knight
after the blah,
blah,
blah,
blah,
blah.
Because there are like
some principles
you can learn
that do help.
Hey Siri.

Alright, this is a good one.
Natalie has gotten in touch. Hey, Nat!
Natalie has attached a picture of
her drinking an innocent smoothie
to celebrate our 18th birthday.
Oh, cute. Last week. That was the drink
that she was drinking. There she is. Very innocent.
Not guilty at all.
That's the least guilty smoothie I've ever seen.
And I've seen some, I don't know.
Anyway, I ran out of steam there.
Dear Fier.
And? That's both of us.
Okay, Fier's good. Fier. I thought maybe
you'd get a pill. Pill.
True. Love the podcast as always.
Thank you. Okay, thank you.
Just a brief correspondence to share that today, following
listening to the podcast, I had a job interview. a big part of the job is that i'm able to tell
stories to members of the public and appear friendly and welcoming oh wow uh which sounds
like a horrible job i was about to say and then i remember that i'm a comedian which uh lets you
know my opinion a proper old schoolie raconteur like like a travelling bard. Yeah, yeah. Like the oral tradition of our
native stories
rests on her shoulders. A big part of this job
is going to be you saying,
Hey nonny nonny!
Give us your hey nonny nonny!
So, the interview
was going incredibly well,
and I felt that we were getting along.
The final question asked of me was to, on the spot, tell a story to entertain the interviewers.
Awful.
And this is for a job which I presume is not a storytelling job.
A big part of the job is that I'm able to tell stories to members of the public.
Okay, well then that's a fair enough...
Yeah, but on the spot, that's a rule.
On the spot, that's hard.
I panicked as following seeing Phil in Shepherd's Bush.
I was one of the uni students that said hi.
Oh, yes.
I thought I recognized you.
Hey, Natalie.
I hope the dissertation went well.
Yes.
So following seeing you and listening to the podcast,
the only story I could recall in that brief moment of panic was,
I fucked a dog.
Great. That was the first time I ever told I fucked a dog great that's the first time
I ever told the
fucked a dog story
shamefully I told it
no
the interviewers were
inevitably very
surprised but found
it funny
no way
I'm still unsure as
to how I'm sure I'm
still unsure as to
however as to whether
it somehow miraculously
secured me the role or
if I ruined everything
more details to follow
I guess
oh my god
keep jacking it warm wishes,
Natalie. I am...
I'm so invested
in the results of this
interview. I'm very impressed. I cannot
believe... Natalie, can you please
get back in touch and tell... I want to know
if you adopted the story and told it
from your perspective, like it happened to you.
Yeah. I hope so.
I really hope so so it would be weird
if it was just this this guy this guy i met do you remember do you remember once a shepherd's
wood station here's a flashback do you remember once there was that guy who just um stole all
your jokes yeah and he said ages ago this guy there's a youtube video of a guy doing it but
he framed he didn't he did exactly what not what you're saying he He didn't say, I'm like this. He'd go, I have a Chinese friend, and here's some stuff he says.
It was so weird.
Yeah, I thought it was very funny.
Anyway.
It was all my jokes, but instead of him saying it as himself, he said, and my Chinese friend said.
And everyone was still enjoying it.
And it's like, what are you imagining?
Put him on.
And his name's Phil Wang. That's amazing, though, Natalie. That was great, Natalie. And it's like, what are you imagining? Put him on. And his name's Phil Wang.
That's amazing though, Natalie.
That was great, Natalie.
Please keep us updated.
Please do keep us updated.
So Jack gets back in touch.
Hey, Jack.
Jack is the one who suggested the secret greeting that we originally were laughing at for being high risk,
which is the first question you ask is, are you having a bum bum day?
And then the Bud fan, if they're a bud fan has to say yep totally
bin bags and then they both say keep jacking it yeah i mean it is nice it it it includes a lot
yeah of the catchphrases but it is still that opening high risk so he gets back in touch
evening brad pittas nice imagine my delight when travelling home this evening listening to the latest episode that you read out my email.
Excuse me?
I was feeling very pleased with myself.
I didn't think we were taking that out.
Have you got a little burp in you?
Yeah, why not?
I've done enough burps on the podcast already.
I made a lady vomit.
Lest we forget.
Oh, of course.
That was a real one, though.
That was a real one.
I was feeling very pleased with myself
until Pierre read out the first line of my secret Budfan greeting.
My pleasure immediately turned to utter
horror as I realised you cannot
open conversations with a total stranger with
Are You Having a Bum Bum Day?
I guess I was simply in a place
where I figured it was highly likely that
anyone you said this to must be a BP fan
and would reciprocate rather than recoil
in fear and call the police.
I propose switching around
bum bum and bin bags. That's what he says.
Most people would, you assume,
think that bin bags are generally negative in connotation
and that the bum bum would only be used as the
confirmatory. So what he's saying is, he's saying,
are you having a bin bags day?
I think this is a good idea, because if they're not
a pod bud, they just think
like, you're saying
did you take the bins out today
was today your bin day
yeah and then
they go what
and you go
oh bin bags
like a bad thing
and they go
oh that's awesome
a genius came up with that
where did you hear that
and they go
bud pod
it's full of bum poo
poo stories
and if they are a pod bud
they go
yes it's been absolute
bum bum
it's been bum bum
it's been bum bum
that's good
I don't mind that
are you having a bin bags day
that's nice anyway thanks for reading it are you having a bin bags day that's nice
anyway thanks for reading it out
and I look forward to episode 38
when you've broken up
in terms of life event I guess
okay
Pierre is an unemployed alcoholic
drinking only sambuca
and Phil has kept the show
but spends each episode
weeping and reading out
the slow poo as memoirs
oh please
we're both unemployed
and then Jack
writes something I think in touch
bleif bleif bleif jack and mar dur khan was that still jack there i think that's keep jacking it
in jack yeah lovely yeah uh i think because it's a bum bum bum bum it has to come before
the noun and bin bags has to come after so something something that's totally bin bags, but you've had a bum bum day.
So I think it has to be...
Has your day been bin bags?
Okay, has your day been bin bags?
Then you're saying bin bin bags.
Because you can say, have you had a bin bags day?
You can say, what a bin bags movie.
Yeah, but I feel like we don't use it in that form.
We use it...
Language is evolving.
Okay, fair enough, fair enough.
Oh, fuck.
Well, that email was so old.
Natalie.
Oh, shit.
Oh, wow.
In touch, we've got it.
This is like having a box set.
We'll do it live.
Next episode, now.
Next episode, now.
Hello, both.
Hi, Natalie.
I'm so excited about this.
I got to the second round of the interview.
Yes. I fucked a dog may have helped me secure
the job.
Jackie at
Forever and Always Natalie. I got
the job. I got
the job.
If you can
let us know what this job is.
If it's policeman.
Primary school teacher.
Nurse.
Nurse, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh my God.
Dog walker.
I don't know.
Dog walker would be the least appropriate.
Yeah.
Now we do this email.
Let's just do a long section and now we're up to date.
This is up to date now. If we do this email. Let's just do a long section and now we're up to date. This is up to date now.
If we do this one.
It's from Kat.

How about that?
Okay.
From Kat.
Okay, let me guess.
Okay.
You're bang on.
Nailed it.
I'm so good at this.
You got the Kat.
I got the Kat.
Hi, Double P.
All right.
Sure.
Yeah.
Hope you're both well.
I guess so.
Well, I need to find out how much this repair to this van is going to cost, but overall,
I'm okay.
Yeah, and I ate too much today, so we're fine.
I hope you're all well, too.
After your most recent episode where you both talked about the Brexity couple who interrupted
you at a gig, it reminded me of a strange interaction I witnessed.
it reminded me of a strange interaction I witnessed
when in a pub
two very clearly
gammon like men treated each other
by saying excellent day for
Brexit
they both laughed and shook hands
after that I couldn't really hear what they were saying
but still an odd thing to hear
also on another note
I fainted on the tube listening to your podcast
oh wow and it was a weird sensation coming to Also on another note I fainted on the tube listening to your podcast Oh wow
And it was a weird sensation
Coming to
And hearing Pierre's voice suddenly very loud in my ear
Saying
Get up
You fainted
It's not your time yet
Go towards the light
The light is the tube
The tunnel
I fucked a dog Well I hope you're alright The light, the light, the light, the light, the light. The light is the tube, the tunnel.
I fucked a dog.
I fucked a dog.
Keep jacking it, Jack.
Well, I hope you're all right, Cat.
Yeah, I hope you're all right.
And also, that's like the second lady that's had a health emergency listening to me talking.
Yeah, maybe it's your voice.
Maybe it has some equivalent of the brown note in your voice.
Yeah, vomiting and fainting.
Yeah.
Maybe I give people like sunstroke with my voice.
Yeah. You seem to give women the old fashioned hysteria
yes maybe
maybe
my voice has got some
quality to it it's like you know when
a disease comes back from the Victorian era
and like
men's voices were the reason that Victorian
women yeah I'm like
polio voice that's why in the Victorian times,
people got the vapors.
Yeah.
Because of a certain tone of voice.
And now I'm like the last one.
And it's having these terrible effects.
I'm like Rasputin.
I can't wait to present you at the Royal Society.
For hygiene and tropical medicine, or whatever it is.
In the lecture hall with the raked seats,
and you're in a cage.
And I pull away the curtain, and everyone's like,
Oh!
He's got ears!
He's like,
You're just cleaning, cleaning, cleaning.
Pin bags, pin bags!
And then you get me to read out an email from behind the bar.
Do not be afraid.
He's quite securely restrained.
Feast your eyes,
ladies and gentlemen,
upon
the cause of the vapors.
Maybe that's what it is.
I'm very sorry you fainted. I hope it
was due to
heat and not anything more serious.
Although some people do just faint.
Yeah. I used to date someone who just sometimes
fainted. That was her excuse, was it?
Yeah. I would say, hey, do you want
to see my Warhammer collection?
And she'd faint. And she'd
faint and roll out the house.
Just out the road.
Like, oh, she fainted and fell into
a forward roll. And that was the last I saw of her.
Just somersaulting down the road I hope she's
I hope she's doing well
Anyway I don't feel like keep jacking it as appropriate
So bad day for Brexit
Bad day for Brexit
Let's hope
Let's hope for more bad days for Brexit
What a greeting though
Good day for Brexit
What does that mean? That
it should happen, hopefully it happens today, because it'd be
a nice day for it. Or was it in response
to something happening in the news? It's almost ironic,
isn't it? Right.
Because it's not been happening for three
years. Isn't that mad? Three years?
So maybe they're just like, oh, good day for Brexit.
Like, that's going to happen.
Maybe that was it. Maybe they were Remainers.
Maybe they'd be sarcastic if they looked very Gamony
and they were in a pub
I don't know
yes it's true
no one who likes
no one in Europe
drinks alcohol
is it ironic
that the kind of
Gamony people
who are against
being stereotyped
as Gammons
are also the kind of people
who are in favour
of like profiling
at airports
yeah
and stop and search.
Yeah, and they go, visual appearance has no pattern.
And you go, well, it does, doesn't it?
According to you, in all the other ways.
Also, your face is the colour of blood.
And you're very shiny.
And you keep saying things about people going back where they came from.
How do you get that red all the time?
Is it just you're so regularly angry about nothing, your body goes, goes you know what it's probably easiest if i just leave this blood up here
sooner or later you're going to need it like someone who just keeps a bottle of water in
their room yeah like i'm taking i keep leaving so many mugs by my bedside table i'll just get a
bottle of water for my little nightstand.
Yeah, or maybe it's that they get angry so much
that all the blood areas of their face are stretched from frequent use,
and now they just have a big blood face.
But they're very red.
They're redder than sunburn could explain.
Yeah.
Because sunburn fades, or should.
And tans, ideally. Ideally, and then they'd be angrier. Then they'd just get even redder again. Sunburn could explain Yeah Because Sunburn fades Or should And Tams ideally
Ideally
And then they'd be angrier
Then they'd just get
Even redder again
Because now they're brown
I'm becoming that
Which I set out to destroy
Oh if only there'd been
Some kind of story
Where this happened
To warn me
Well
Well
Thank you very much everybody
Thanks for listening
Good episode 19
Yeah
The loss of the teens.
The end of the teens.
It's sad to see the teens go, but a very exciting adulthood.
Very excited for Budpod to be in its early 20s and have a series of small identity crises.
Maybe finally get into indoor plants.
Indoor plants and sort of markets.
Yeah.
Open-air markets, second-hand clothes,
and sort of weirder music.
Six music, BBC Six music.
Yes, yes, yes.
That's all waiting for Bud Pod.
And more competent and, dare I say, adventurous sexual adventurous sexual experiences yes I would agree with that
yeah well that to look forward to but thank you for listening okay keep jacking it bye okay thank you
