Hi guys, it's an emergency Bud Pod. Pierre is on holiday in Portugal.
Arriba la cucaracha! And Phil is in Belfast, don't you know. Is that right?
I guess we'll find out. We're in Belfast on tour at the moment.
So we're unable to record a juicy fresh pod this week.
But fear not, we have in reserve an emergency pod full of some great correspondence for your listening pleasure.
From yesteryear.
It was only a couple of weeks ago.
No, but the podcast is from yesteryear.
The podcast.
The correspondence.
Oh, yeah.
It's old-ass correspondence.

Activating emergency correspondence special
Beel, beel
Ah, that seems to have done it.
Hello, everybody.
It was quite sort of a...
I'm trying to put in a Doppler effect
as if you're running around the melting power plant.
Oh, I see.
It sounded like you were doing that thing
where it's like Budpod Emergency auto-tuned
Remix
Oh right, no I was trying to do
Sort of Chernobyl-esque
Alarm
Emergency
What is
The worst siren for you?
The ones that go like do they happen in maybe europe they go yeah i i i really like french police car sirens how do those go like that yeah maybe we're the ones who have the I associate it with some parts of America
where it goes like
It's weird though.
Is that like a special different button
for like extra signal?
I think that one's like, yeah, a brief one, isn't it?
It's kind of like the equivalent of a horn.
It's just
Yeah. Yeah. one's like yeah a brief one isn't it it's kind of like the the equivalent of a horn yeah yeah or
as they sort of pull in well we used to we used to do that joke about bow
of like that sort of one sort of when we were in america yeah the single
a police yeah american police cars all look like they're toys.
They all look like they're designed by 15-year-olds.
Yeah, lots of sort of decals.
Police in, like, 2000s word art along the side.
Yeah, or sort of slightly futuristic
with sort of extra little lines around them and stuff.
Yeah.
Like, watch watch out these police
could have lasers whereas um european police all kind of look the same really well it depends if
they're police or gendarmerie guys then they just look like the military but they're always in like
little iddy like smart cars yeah They're very hard to take seriously
Yeah
They've got some pretty sweet hats going on
If you're in Italy, say
Yeah, little postman pet hats
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Driving around in a smart car
Down an ancient road
They all dress a bit like
The concierges at the Grand Budapest Hotel or something.
There is an element of that, yeah.
Yeah, and the
French police sometimes have those little peaked hats
like they're sort of people who work in a tank in World War II.
Well, we've got
some correspondence to read now. You didn't come here
for a breakdown of European police uniforms,
although that does seem like a topic this podcast would cover.
But not today.
Today we dive in once more to the heaving brown sack of our correspondence.
We descend the ladder into the sewers of madness
We dive in like Scrooge McDuck
Into our huge Olympic sized pool of correspondence
Yeah
And we find ourselves something from Amy
Amy
Don't blame me
For loving your correspondence
So it's Tash Tat
Tash Tat, like mustache
So Amy says
Hi Peas and Poos
This was located in my friend's WC
Ah, the Water Closet
Where I was trying to poo quickly enough
That I might only have been in there for a sizable pee.
Yes, threading the needle.
Yeah, yeah.
What is the point at which someone can fairly assume you're doing a poop?
How many mins are we talking?
Three plus.
Yeah, you don't have much time, do you?
You really don't have much time.
If it's not in the chamber ready to go If it's not ready to leave
Gosh
It's terrible isn't it?
Or if you've got some sort of
Terrible clean up scenario
Yeah you can
You can buy yourself some extra time
By running the tap a bit
yeah or like shouting
where is the
where is the flush
I can't find the flush
you do after one minute
you know as a poo you just go
I can't find the flush
where's the
flush
where's the floor
So for me to stand up
Because I'm done but I can't find the floor
Do you
Just things that will distract them
Yeah
Was your door always this colour
And they go Did we repaint it
so our sympathy amy we've all been there
trying to really just fully activate your core muscles and fire that thing out
like a shotgun slug but then also keeping it quiet yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah
like an assassination
yeah yeah
exactly it's like when an assassin
like shoots someone and then
runs to catch the body so the body
doesn't make a sound
that's what you've got to do
or they shoot them through a pillow
you shit on a pillow.
You shit on a pillow and slide it in.
Anyway.
I also thought that maybe announcing that I hope they didn't mind...
Oh, sorry.
She's referring to the sign that was located in her friend's toilet.
Okay.
I also thought that maybe announcing that I hope they didn't mind me taking a photo of it for your enjoyment might suggest that that's why i'd taken longer than
the average pee only toilet visit can i take a picture of this poster that's good i need i need
to use like an old school gunpowder one so it might take a while and you might hear an explosion
and there'll be lots of smoke and a
flash it's my smell of sulfur and shit i use shit too um i i didn't really i i lost track of where
i was in the email so i thought she was saying i'd take a picture of it for your enjoyment. I was like, what, your massive shit?
Anyway, you have to be very specific yelling from someone else's toilet.
Do you mind if I take a picture for my friends?
That's your shit.
So that's good.
So she thought that might suggest, well, that's why I'd taken longer than the average pee-only toilet visit.
That's good.
So she thought that might suggest, well, that's why I'd taken longer than the average pee-only toilet visit.
Brackets.
Rather than the terrible, terrible truth that I had done an ordinary poo in the generally preferred location.
That is terrible.
That is terrible.
What a monster.
Yeah.
Good luck reading the latter sentence.
What a mess.
God, how embarrassing.
Praise as ever redacted, Koji Aimee.
Lovely. So this is the God, how embarrassing. Praise as ever redacted Koji Aimee. Lovely.
So this is the poster, Phil.
Okay.
Poster in Aimee's friend's bathroom.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Life is like a... And it's a picture of a mustache.
Okay.
Life is like a mustache.
Yeah.
It's like the mustache that hipsters got tattooed on their fingers for about six months, if you remember that.
Right. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The kind of...
Pringles can.
Yeah, runs a saloon in a western.
Totally.
Jasperilla!
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Life is like a mustache.
It can be blank or blank But it always blank
Wow
Life is like a moustache
It can be blank or blank
It can be good or bad
Basically, yeah
I'll give you a small oi oi oi for that
Okay, okay
Because there's synonyms of good and bad
But it's always fun
Crucial grammar point. But it's always fun.
Crucial grammar point here.
But it always blank.
We're in verb town, my friend.
Okay.
It can be good or bad.
But it always rocks.
Life is like a mustache, remember?
But it always tickles.
Yes. Wow. It always tickles
What does that mean
So what are the first two
Wonderful or terrible
Okay wonderful or terrible
What a wonderful mustache
What a terrible mustache
But life always tickles
How does life tickle
It's funny
It doesn't always tickle If you does life tickle? How does life always tickle?
It doesn't always tickle.
If you've been fighting as a rebel soldier in the jungles of Colombia for decades,
I don't know,
I guess spiders and leaves tickle you a bit.
El Capitan, I cannot take it anymore.
What aspect of it?
The fear?
The pain?
The tickling.
It's the tickling.
Life, it tickling. Is the tickling. Life it tickles.
Just remember, life is like a mustache.
It can be wonderful or terrible, but it always tickles.
And then the soldier puts his hand on his commander's forehead.
Oh, he's burning up.
El Capitan is loco.
El Colonel is loco el colonel is loco i i really wish we recently
not according to whenever this comes out listeners but recently according to our lives cover the
el salvadorian mega prison oh yeah el mega carcel el salvador hopefully we'll have come back into
the into the discourse recently.
Yeah.
But it's made me really wish I could properly speak Spanish.
It's fun.
Yeah, it is a fun language.
And it's actually written phonetically almost entirely.
Right, exactly.
Yeah, it feels achievable.
Yeah, it does.
It does.
SÃ.
SÃ.
Es dos.
Es achievable.
Could be.
Yeah, that sounds right.
Could be.
It could be.
Could be.
Who knows?
We've got a tat submission here from Piers.
Piers.
Piers Novelli.
Piers Morgan. It's Piers. Piers. Piers Novelli. Piers Morgan.
It's Piers.
Piers.
I was called Piers for much of my childhood
because people couldn't understand my accent
when I said my name was Pier.
Pier.
Pier.
Pier.
Piar.
Piers.
Cheers for getting in touch, Piers.
Dear Phil McPierpierrin what is that i think that's a the the
the joke uh name you use for prank calls phil mccracken ah yeah i think
it's a good one phil mccracken is excellent yeah phil mccracken also if you want to go uh
excellent yeah for mccracken also if you want to go uh from years ago like 20 years ago i remember one of many fake sort of vaguely arabic sounding names you leak madik you leak madik yeah you leak
you leak you leak it don't you why don't you leak it you leak a madik I like it very much. Some tat for you from a shopping centre in Crawley.
Crawley.
The first one is your
standard wood on string number.
Oh yeah.
The sort of
we converted a barn
vibe. Yeah.
The second one seems
to me quite unnerving.
I'll show it to you once you can guess it um so the classic
wood on string number is it gray yes of course of course curly white writing yeah of course of course Good friends are like bras. Okay.
Dot, dot, dot.
Yep.
Blank, never leave you blank, make you look blank, and are always close to your blank.
Blank.
Okay.
Friends are like bras.
Blank.
Never leave you blank Make you look blank Yep
And are always close to your blank
Okay so the last one is they're always close to your heart
Always make you look good
Yep
And the first is
Blank
So what's the first sentence?
Good friends are like bras.
Blank never leave you blank.
They're not connected.
Okay.
The first blank is a standalone adjective.
Oh, they never leave you unsupported?
Yeah, they never leave you hanging.
And the first one is good friends are like Browse supportive
So I'll give you that
So this second one
It is so
Unsettling
That I'm just going to tell you what it is
Because I just want to show it to you
It's just
You'll see what it is
But the message on it is
Together is my favourite place to be
yuck
it's not a place
let's go to together
together is my favourite place to be
horrible
how would you describe that haunted fucking object
it's like three planks of wood
so together is on the top plank
is my favourite, the second plank
place to be, third plank but they're all posted onto a sort of mud a mud pillar yeah it's fucking it's
post-apocalyptic it's like something you'd find in the wasteland and mad max yeah they're sort of
supposed to be like charming little signs they're not full-size planks and someone's carved crudely carved a kind of
wicker man-esque rabbit and bear yeah yeah they're horrible they're sort of
dead-eyed leaning on the together is my favorite place to be this is very much in the same family
as find your awesome or whatever yes i've... We cannot simply abandon all rules of grammar
because you think it's cute.
I've been getting angry at the Cheltenham Festival posters
in my tube station that have still not been taken down.
What do they say?
It is literally something like,
experience your good.
It is just fucking gibberish.
It makes me sick.
It shouldn't be allowed.
It shouldn't be allowed.
Message from...
Well, they haven't signed it off, so...
Maybe they want to be anonymous.
There's no reason for them to be anonymous, but I'll just assume.
Okay. Maybe they want to be anonymous There's no reason for them to be anonymous But I'll just assume Okay Hello girthy
Spod-tatoes
Girthy spod-tatoes
Okay
Spod-tatoes
I hope losing the flesh is going to plan
Oh yeah this is you losing your
Christmas flesh at the gym
I wondered when the first known tat was seen or unearthed.
Yes.
Of the history of tat.
Tat Zero.
What was Tat Zero?
Live, Laugh, Love is the sort of Don Quixote of tat.
It is the one that started it all.
But what was the Beowulf?
Ah, good question.
They say, I wonder if any Porians or arseologists know i reckon the
beowulf was well maybe this is the cave paintings actually of tat it's people writing themselves
little inspirational reminders like you got this on a on a post-it you know know? Yeah. Putting it on a cork board or something.
Yeah, they must... I wonder if they're...
There is someone famous from the past
who put sort of quotes and things to remember
on their sort of door of their office.
Yeah.
Fuck, who is that?
I bet you it's like a philosopher or someone.
Right. How did people find out about Oscar Wilde's quotes? Well, there was the buck stops here. I bet you it's like a philosopher or someone Right
How did people find out
about Oscar Wilde quotes?
Which president had the buck stops here?
Eisenhower
That's kind of tatty
That's the start of some tat
That's like, you know, this is my kitchen
Get back to the golf course or whatever
Yeah, and that's 1950s
Right, there you go that's pretty good this goes all the way to the tat goes all the way to the top here yeah yeah yeah the Illumatati
as women our life stages come with unique risk factors like high blood pressure developed during
pregnancy which
can put us two times more at risk of heart disease or stroke know your risks visit heartandstroke.ca
um well this person says i just watched an episode of friends which was from one of the
mid-series i think the coffee board at central at Central Perk is Tattatac Central.
Ah.
And what year would this have been?
Late 90s?
Yeah.
Must have been.
Yeah.
I'm glad I can't read it as it's all too blurred in the background.
But there is, for example, blend while you spend.
Hmm.
Brackets.
I mean, surely they're blending and you're spending, just as a starting comment on that spending It doesn't make any sense at all
And then they say
Something blurry
Quote blurry blurry blurry
But you won't need that after this cup of joe
Right
I feel like these might have had a little more
Intrigue to them
They sound more complex.
More mysterious.
Well, they were come up with by writers, maybe.
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So was Central Perk the original tat?
Well, I think Eisenhower...
Eisenhower's The Buck Stops Here
is probably the first...
The first of, of like modern tat
that's the beginning of modern tat
modern tatology
I would be happy with that
I would be happy with that
I
yeah
someone told me that cup of joe
was racist
oh really?
I'm gonna look this up right now.
Take a look.
Etymology, Joe Coffey.
It might have been your old friend and mine, Will Wiener.
It had said that.
Yeah, maybe that was him.
It looks like one of these things no one really knows.
It looks like one of these things no one really knows.
Possibly a shortening of cup of jamoke from Java and mocha put together.
Jamoke.
Jamoke.
Cup of jamoke.
Eh?
Yeah, it doesn't... Not very convincing.
Everything to do with coffee is gibberish.
Yeah.
Cup of mud.
Cup of mud. That makes more sense.
Here are three leading theories on the origin of the term Cup of Joe.
One, Secretary of the Navy in 1913,
Josephus Daniels,
prohibited alcohol aboard naval vessels
leading to more coffee consumption.
It's alright.
I don't love it.
Number two. It's a shortened version
of two other slang terms for coffee.
Java and jamoke.
That's not convincing either.
Then third
theory. Coffee is considered
a common man drink and Joe is considered a common
man name. That's the most compelling to me to be honest yeah joe soap joe soap right our joe blogs yeah joe blogs
yeah maybe none of them are particularly racially inflammatory though yeah none of them are
unless they've unless they've unless they've been uh omitted from the accepted theories for that very reason.
Yes, that's true.
Well, we'll keep an eye on it.
Yeah.
We will endlessly keep an eye on all language.
In a never-ending vigil,
the likes of which the great Trappist monks would shiver at.
No words slip by us in the night.
What?
Let's see.
I'm hoping...
Oh, yes.
Oh, no. See, I've got to be careful.
This one we actually read on the Patreon
Oh okay
Be vigilant
Hold
Hold the line
I've always wanted to be in a group of
A group of men who've been told to hold the line
I wish it
I'd love to be told to hold the line
Yeah, so dramatic Yeah This is from Emily Hold the line. I wish it. I'd love to be told to hold the line. Yeah.
So dramatic.
Yeah.
Sorry.
This is from Emily.
Emily.
What a gem you are.
Dear Piddle and Puddle.
That's sweet.
I've just finished listening to episode 69.
Nice. Yeah. I've just finished listening to episode 69 Nice
Yeah
Where you mention how the intelligence of humankind
Has still not discovered the perfect
Ring cleaning method
Ring cleaning method, which ring?
Oh, on your hand, the bum
Yeah
I think that's probably right
Well, I mean, water is probably the best
You know, the
Which is what,
is it in the Arab world?
Yeah.
In the Indian subcontinent?
Washing the water is the best.
What if you're not in a hot, dry country
where your bum's not evaporating?
Hmm.
Well, in Japan,
they have the special toilets
that should eject water,
and that's quite a cold country.
Yeah, but they've got a blow dryer there yeah i
think they do actually so you gotta go whole hog robot bog apparently the ancient hindus thought
well i don't know how ancient this could be but the old they thought it was propaganda they thought
it was propaganda when they were told that the westerners used paper to wipe their bums because
they thought it was so horrible yeah they're like well that's obviously just prejudice hey come on man don't say that that's
not cool but then like even if you squirt some water on your bum crack you gotta pat it dry
i think you still need the paper right yeah yeah or maybe or dysyson needs to come up with a new shape of air blade.
Yeah, Dyson bum blade.
The bum blade.
Just a single sort of blade,
a single blade of air that just goes right between your cracks
and pushes the moisture out.
You've got to be careful,
otherwise you'll just end up Dyson airblading
little flecks of shit all up into your whole business but maybe it's just attached to the
wall of the cubicle and you finish your poop you get the jet of water and you get up still with
your pants around your ankles and you sort of aim your butt against the bum blade and you kind of do
a slow motion kind of twerk yeah yeah can you picture this yeah yeah you do a slow motion kind of twerk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you picture this? Yeah, yeah.
Like a slow motion slut drop.
Yeah.
While this thing goes...
Yeah, that's it.
Horrible.
Dystopian.
So,
Emily says, this reminded me of a harrowingly
embarrassing poo story and I simply had to mail it in.
Okay.
I've always thought toilet paper is surely not the answer to a sullied arse.
A sullied arse.
Is this the answer?
Looking at a piece of toilet paper.
Is this it?
There must be another way.
Upon my travels through Asia, I was grateful for the bum sprays, the hose next to the toilet,
and the days of repeatedly stroking my
arsehole with scratchy material felt like a distant
memory. Yeah, yeah.
However, my first
experience with such a hose came at quite
the unfortunate time. I was, at the
time, building a flirty rapport
with a handsome Irish man.
Oh!
He fell in love with an Irish man.
Fell in love with an Irish man
then you had to go poo into a pan.
That's what happened.
When the overwhelming urge to release my bowels
overcame me.
My rectum was full.
It was now or never.
Okay, here we go.
I quickly excused myself and rushed to the appropriate facility.
Let me set the scene.
These toilet... This is funny. These toilets serve
no gender.
No gender or no agenda?
No gender.
No gender, okay.
Or agenda.
So cubicles were enjoyed
by every member
And a shared sink was positioned outside the stalls
Yes, I know the ones you mean
I entered the safe haven and liberated my insides
Having eaten a somewhat inordinate and unusual diet in the past 24 hours
It meant that the mass movement was less than solid
And issued a foul stench so offensive it spoiled the relaxing atmosphere
Of the toilet
of pooing. Let it be known
it was a messy affair
Let it be known
Yeah
Yeah
Once I was sure the contents of my rectum
had been emptied and my anus
securely sealed
Sealed
Bolt locked Yeah. I proceeded to search my anus securely sealed. Sealed?
Bolt locked.
Yeah.
I proceeded to search for the loo roll.
No such amenity was there.
My eyes fell upon a strange hose-like device which sprayed a rather thick stream of water.
Naturally, I assumed, this was the answer.
Naturally, yeah.
So spreading my cheeks open with one hand,
I bent over over took position with
the hose between my legs and upwardly sprayed my anus okay oh okay i can see where this is
going to go badly yeah confirmed a western naivety i'm sure many have shared as soon as
the water hit my bottom i realized my mistake spraying upward released the runny poo sludge
to project skyward like a fountain like he's playing in a fountain.
A poopy fountain.
The diluted excrement not only plastered the surrounding boundaries.
It's funny.
Surrounding boundaries.
Surrounding boundaries.
Including up my back and hair.
Oh no!
You just fired the shotgun of turd water up your own back.
Like a baby.
Fucking hell.
Up my back and hair, but also soared above the partition into the adjacent cubicle.
No.
Oh no.
Oh no.
Oh no, was someone in there?
Unbeknownst to me, someone had established themselves in that very cubicle. Oh no, was someone in there? Unbeknownst to me, someone had established themselves in that very cubicle
Oh no
Oh god
A husky gasp was heard from the throne next door
Oh no
As you watch it arc over the
Boundary
Oh no
Christ
And I succumbed to prey instinct
Keeping quiet and still
That's to prey instinct, keeping quiet and still.
That's funny, prey instinct.
I listened as the confused victim of my pooey shower readied themselves to exit the chamber.
After some time had passed, the boundary seemed deserted,
and I hurriedly proceeded to clean the defecated cubicle and subsequently my hair and back.
At this point, I am acutely aware I have been absent from the sexy Irishman. I'm adding the word sexy in there to remind
us. Oh yeah, of his character.
For undoubtedly a longer time than a
pee would require. Here we go again.
Yeah. Yes.
As I'm sure you might have gathered
by now, that husky
gasp was that of the Irishman.
Oh no, I hadn't put that
together. That's a great twist. Oh no the Irishman. Oh, no, I hadn't put that together. No, I had neither.
That's a great twist.
Oh, no.
Spray.
Oh, no.
Splat.
What's an Irish thing to say?
Yeah, they don't have...
What's an exclamation?
Huh?
Yeah, what kind of exc...
What's the sacre bleu?
Feck.
Feck, yeah.
Yeah, it must be. Oh, feck. Flex. Feck. Feck, yeah. Yeah, it must be.
Oh, feck.
Flex.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Feck all these flex.
I've only gone and got shit water all over me head.
So, the husky gasp was that of the Irishman.
He never confirmed he knew it was me who showered him in my feces.
Oh, wow.
I wonder if he ever brought it up
but what could uh but what could have been between us was firmly no more we parted ways and it has
never been spoken of since despite this experience i show i soldiered on with the bum hose and
mastered the art and now i'm back in the uk it is a luxury i dearly miss koji emily thank you emily yeah that's great that's a
good story great twist i did not see that coming shooting bum water over a partition onto your
love interest onto your love interest for something on a bridesmaids
if you didn't realize that she'd done that mad illogical thing with the spray hose you'd think what level of shitting is happening next door
yeah yeah yeah yeah also reckless of him in some ways for him to be like talking to a girl
and then she's like i'm
just gonna go to the loo and then him just thinking well i'm gonna go to the loo next to you
was he aware that she was in that one next to her well how many loos are there in this place
yeah maybe he wanted to be close to her and it backfired it literally backfired. It literally backfired. Yeah, backside fired.
Christ almighty.
But yeah, you've got to aim downwards with the hose. Yeah, you've got to
aim downwards. But then isn't
the floor going to be all covered in poopy water?
No, because you're on
the loo still.
Oh. I imagine Emily
at the end of this trip, by the way, being so good at it,
she sort of like spins the bum gun in her hand like in a western.
Like...
Yeah, she's cleaning her ass with the hose spray,
like banking the spray off the cubicle door.
Like a pool shot, like a snooker thing.
Yeah. Yeah, you've got it but the
further you aim it down yourself eventually you're shooting your own ball bag in the back
like you're like you're putting two in the back of your nutsack's head for betraying you
yeah like execution execution style i'm gonna wash wash my balls execution style.
You position your balls right in front of a pit
you've dug.
Yeah, yeah.
Your balls have been having to dig it
in front of some car headlights
in the forest at night.
Well, thanks for that, Emily.
Yeah, thanks, Emily.
