Maybe not. Time of recording, we just finished Jingle Jam, so we are all exhausted. Some of us are happy filled with the- Some of us are happy filled with some some of us are less happy uh no it's been very tiring for everyone here um putting this thing on there's a lot of different stresses and and problems but it's been it's been a great event and we're really really proud now uh it's this is the last day well i i would like to uh i don't want to brag or anything. I don't want to big myself up. But Lewis, you'd asked me to set up a fundraiser thing, a Tiltify fundraiser thing for the Jingle

Jam. I did. Which I did. And I set a goal to raise 100 pounds. And we blew that one out of the water. Blew it out of the water. Yeah, it's gone. Wow. Yeah. So, good job, that one out of the water. It's gone. Wow. Yeah. So, good job, everybody. It was really good.

Really nice. Well done. Yeah. Thanks so much. You currently are the... where are you? You're the 20th biggest fundraiser. Sweet. God, that's good.

Out of 20? Yeah. No, out of thousands of people who've raised money. Oh, right, okay. I was gonna say, holy crap. There's a few who've done better than you. Well, yeah, 19, by the sounds of it. 19 people. So, you could try and up your numbers today if you wanted to.

Well, I mean, I try every day. I'm hustling, like, all the time. Like, I'm just plugging and plugging and plugging. Really? Oh, yeah. How have you been hustling? Have you done anything special? Have you been in a bath of beans? Have you done anything special? Have you been in a bath of beans?

Have you done anything stupid? Have you had your head shaved? No. Why? Have other people done that? Well, no, but that's the tradition, isn't it? You know, when people raise money for charity, they do silly things. They go and do a bath of beans.

They tend to do a lot of running. A lot of people do a lot of running for charity. Yeah. I'm not a fan of the run. No. Do you know what I mean? I can't get behind the run. Running is-

I don't like running. Shit. Yeah. I hate running. I hate running. I of the run. No. Do you know what I mean? I can't get behind the run. Running is- I don't like running. Shit. Yeah. I hate running. I hate running. I've spoken about this before. When I don't like people's, I'm going to get healthy and you're going to give money to charity thing.

I was watching- Oh, I'm going to eat vegetables every day for two weeks for charity, guys. Okay. I was watching a documentary yesterday where some lads were doing some burglaries and the cops finally caught up with them. And when they knew their goose was cooked, they were running. They're running away down the street, through the fields and stuff. And I just thought to myself, God, that's miserable, eh?

Like, that's got to be the icing on the cake. Knowing that imminently you're going to be apprehended by an officer of the law and you're probably going to be spending quite some time in jail for all of your crimes that you've committed. And on top of it all, you have to run. Like, for a while, even knowing that it's futile, but you're still running. You know that feeling when you're just completely out of breath and you're panting and you're panicking and everything? And you just know that no matter what you do, you're just gonna get caught? God, that's got to sound right.

Did he think that... I mean, there must be, because I watch some of these police shows, I know you do as well. There are definitely times when they're like, we lost them. Yeah, there are, yeah. I wonder what the success rate is on getting away. Yeah, I wonder. I mean, I guess if you're in really good shape, you have a really good chance. But the problem is now they've got cameras everywhere.

They've got, you know, there's lots of, you know, it's not just two guys in an Oldsmobile chasing you around the city. Right. They got lots of people involved you know if they if they know they want somebody they'll they'll call in you know even just to go to somebody's house to serve a warrant there's like 20 of them uh you know in case things get hairy and they have to watch each other and check on each other and record each other and everything and it's i think it's the cctv as well um where it's like we've got a shot outside the Marks and Spencer's on the high street, we can see the car here.

Yeah. And then this is a ring doorbell, we can see them turning right there. Yeah, it's wild the amount of cameras that they've got now. Because I had some police come and take our- we've got cameras at home, and they came and took the footage away. Ah. Because they just needed the timing on when this guy drove past and that's it they just took that

they were like right that is his car that's him in the car that's all we need thank you just building a storyline yeah yeah that's why I think all these guys are on the run and at large it's almost always they're just living in a hole somewhere you can't be anywhere near people

man oh man you ever um you ever see aliens on your front doorstep or usually halloween mate only halloween never you never seen any uh supernatural phenomena um occur in the uh in the middle of the night oh a couple of times yeah a couple of times just usual the usual stuff. Just pretty straightforward stuff. What did you see? Well, I saw a flash of light, a glowing skull floating in front of my door. I saw a man licking my doorbell for three hours straight. Standard stuff, really. Yeah, it's all just normal stuff for Jersey, the Isle of Jersey.

At what point do you call the police? What is your kind of, not related to what you've seen, not people licking your doorbell, but in general, what would move you to call the police? This is to both of you. I think the doorbell licking, I probably would phone the police, honestly. Really? Yeah, I find that very alarming behaviour. i get that there's you know probably some issues some mental uh illness there and stuff but i still did a guy actually lick your doorbell no no i saw i saw this on reddit one time i see uh there's three hours of this man

licking a doorbell like like he was uh like he was you know maybe pleasure like like pleasuring a woman but it was a doorbell it was a doorbell yeah like uh yeah it was it was it was some terrifying mentally ill people i wouldn't phone like i wouldn't phone 999 for it though you know right i would phone the reception is it one one one is that the other just get like a mop or a brush or like try and push him away get away. Well no because this is happening in the middle of the night while you're sleeping. I know but you just go down there and you push him like

then again there is this like paralysis I had a nightmare last night which was I woke up and I was convinced that I'd heard my front door open right and I was like oh my god is someone downstairs? Because you know the stupid stuff goes through your head. You're like, is it just someone coming in late, going in the wrong door?

Is it someone in the corridor just leaning on the door? Because I left it open. Did I leave it open? Is it a fan? Or did they follow me? Oh no. Do you know what I mean? Do they know my address?

Oh my God. fan or did they follow me you know jeremy like do they know my they know what was your first reaction like with being faced with somebody potentially intruding into your into your house like what did you i just i just disbelieved that i it was happening i was like i can't this can't no it's fine i'm probably fine i'll just listen i'll just be stock still yeah frozen apart from the sound of my heartbeat you know listening i always feel like i would love to have a panic room oh panic room that is that is very close to where i am most vulnerable so like because i've got an ensuite bathroom with a lock yeah yeah so that's close enough okay i could just run in there that's a good idea too if you could lock your bathroom but then you have to be able to like behind the medicine cabinet you can press

a button and then a whole bunch of consoles will like come folding out of the wall transformer stuff sure sure sure because i feel like you could really um almost like home alone some intruders you know what i mean if you had a panic if you could get onto like a pa system turn on all the lights in the house and start like blasting music and kind of make fun of them a lot for being caught saying like hey guys smile you're on camera hey what are you gonna what are you gonna do what are you gonna take and like the music is blaring like the cops have already been called the alarm company is on their way and everything uh but like it deadbolts all the doors and they're stuck and you're like i'm not stuck in here with you you're stuck in here with me haha you can like laugh at them and stuff i feel like that would be amazing right like i i think i'd be tempted to pull it

too too often if i had a panic room like i'd hear like a bird on the roof i'd prank my family that could be a ninja and we'll get in the panic room yeah it's just nothing yeah or like there's a mouse in the house we're all getting in the panic room that would be my concern is i i would panic too greatly and too often yeah i think house intrusion has to be one of the worst things that can happen to you not the worst but it's up there i think oh god for traumatic events that could potentially happen to you i know people who've been burgled and yeah, they hate it. Yeah, it sucks. It's got to feel like shit. Everything feels dirty and awful.

Yeah, somebody's been in your house and taken some of your stuff. And even if you get it back, you just never feel the same again, you know? You'd always be worried, like knowing that it's happened and it'll happen again and stuff. That's got to be pretty rough. That's if you want to get it back. Yeah. So I was speaking of to get it back. Yeah. So, I was speaking of weird noises and spookiness and intruders, I was at the office last night until about 11 o'clock.

Right. 10.30, 11. Because it was, no one was out, people were recording stuff or late streaming and I was pretty tired. I did the art stream and I hadn't had a great night's sleep the night before. So I was just chilling, had some takeaway for dinner. And then I was just watching YouTube. And they've got full episodes of like Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, the ones where he goes and fixes the kitchen, including back when he was in the UK, which are actually funnier. He's not as in character in those ones. He's a bit more just regular

himself. Just normal, yeah. Yeah, they're quite funny. But the air conditioning thing or whatever, the vents here or whatever, I swear to God there's an alien

of some kind living in there. Right. Because the racket that these things make at night, when you're the only one in the office, it's like,

ka-kung, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, scuttle, scuttle, skuttle. Like just randomly. It's probably just blood, blood, blood, blood. It's probably just a big sign. Yeah, and I messaged out- Water pouring and stuff.

It's like, why is there water pouring? Where is that coming from? It was properly spooky, but- Might just be big rats. It's not rats. It's much too heavy. Got some big hedgehogs in there. Yeah.

And it's just the machinery doing whatever it does at night doing it, but with no other noise. You know, anyway, those Gordon episodes, full episodes, full episodes available on YouTube. It's excellent. I woke up early this morning because everybody, like the baby was still asleep but everybody else

had woken up early and they were making a lot of noise and they woke me up, but they didn't wake the baby up, so I was just guarding the baby while she was sleeping as you do and uh i was watching i was watching a pov of a top london chef doing yes a busy a busy lunch time at a restaurant in london and uh man it was it was it was crazy how organized they are. Yeah, it's wild. I couldn't have the volume on but I was reading some of the comments and they're like, oh my god, I can't believe a kitchen where nobody is screaming at each other and this seems, this is like heaven on earth but I couldn't hear either way. But just watching the whole thing is

wild. I can't believe how much organization and oh it's crazy the guy's name is fallow that's the one yeah that's who i was watching yeah yeah it's really good i watch his stuff it's really really good really interesting yeah it's interesting how he he like like you said there's he's not screaming at people. No. At all. I think obviously for certain, this is just a busy restaurant. I turned on the volume a couple of times and he was always just really calm. Like calmly speaking to somebody or asking for something or whatever. But it's not like a Michelin starved, super driven.

I wonder if you've got to be a bit of a twat to make that kind of restaurant. Because everything has to be perfect. Like it cannot be, oh, it wasn't our best. Like, every single dish has to be perfect and you've got to drill that into people. So, I think it's a bit different. Yeah, no, it was really, really interesting. It is good. I love how he just has this, you know, every once in a while, he'll just like arrange things,

you know? He's just got like a minute like in between what he's doing he'll just like you know wipe something or arrange it or whatever there's one where he's eating whilst cooking like he'll do the cooking then he'll stop and have a little bit of some beans and then go back to work and he's just sort of eating his dinner whilst he's uh he's doing the job it must be really satisfying if you if you run a ship really tight and it just all works, right? Yeah. You must have a tremendous sense of satisfaction at the end of the day.

Yeah. Very competent. Yeah. Do you know what? I was thinking just now, one of the best streams that we did in Jingle Jam was, although what I enjoyed the most was the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Oh, yeah. That was a great stream.

That was a good one. I thought we could do a little quiz, because I normally do a little quiz with my family on Christmas. Do it, bud. Quiz up. So I thought I'd do you two, and you each get to pick a category. Okay. So I'll flip a coin to see who gets to start.

Jack Nicholson. It was, no, it's a- That's not the- It is, yeah. ...Jerry Maguire is one of the best sports movies ever made. Show me the money! Unfortunately, that great sports movie is buried deep within a terrible rom-com. If I wish they'd taken the good bits of Jerry Maguire out, stripped away the love stuff

and just had the sports agent stuff, because that was really, really well done. Yeah. But they didn't, unfortunately. I wish they would replace Renee Zellweger with, well, anyone. Anything, yeah. Yeah. I don't know why she's become insufferable. She was in everything for a while and then she just vanished.

She looks like she's sucking on a Sour Patch Kid at all times. And asleep! And half asleep. Asleep and bitter. Alright, next one. No hate, Rene. No hate if you're six. Yeah, no hate, we love you.

Mine's like C++ or something, I'm not sure. Right, no, yeah. Mine's 28% proof. It is after this jingle jam, P-Flex. You guys have been drinking, good grief. Duncan has basically just pickled himself completely this holiday. He drank an entire bottle of rum. I feel like Duncan is the Keith Richards of the Augscast.

Yeah. He really is Keith Richards, yeah. Yeah, I bought him a really expensive bottle of rum for Christmas and he drank Keith Richards of the Augscast. Yeah. On the topic of Keith Richards, yeah. Yeah. I bought him a really expensive bottle of rum for Christmas and he drank it all during the Siv stream. Wow. The whole thing. It was mental.

He's a machine. Yeah. Don't ever try and do that. I would be hospitalized if I did that. I did help, to be fair. Oh, right. And he gave a bit to Spiff and Potato, but my God, it was still a insane amount of alcohol um all right next up sips what you got um give me entertainment trivia questions please alec okay and entertainment

I was like, oh my God, what the fuck is that? Mystic Pizza?

Okay, all right. Well, I was going to give you... I was going to... I did think that was too hard. It's 55 longitude, uh, 20- It is actually at the South Pole, just saying. The Eastern Antarctic Plateau is at the South Pole, is it? Well, I guess.

I don't think it is, is it? Well, I don't know. Just to the east of it. Oh, it does include the region of the geographic South Pole. Ah. So... Can you get, like, half a point for that? I'm gonna give you half a point.

The Olympic Stadium. Apparently it was called the Panathenaic Stadium. That's a tough one. That is a tough one, isn't it?

How good was Beckham? How good? Oh, very good. Correct. Yes, well done. How good was that how good very good correct yes well done how good was okay and then we got two two more before we go into round two oh there's a second round oh yeah but wait what are we missing then so far i can only see science oh food okay I'll take food, please. Okay. So, food. Which fast food chain used to use the slogan, think outside the bun? Think outside the bun. Think outside the bun.

Why would you want to think outside the bun? What fast food restaurant might have had something outside of the bun? Well, it's more, you know, think differently to the bun, you know? You don't use a bun, maybe. Forget the bun. You don't use a bun. I'm gonna say like Arby's or something like that. I'm gonna guess Taco Bell.

Oh, PFLAX! You're not allowed to steal, but it is Taco Bell. Oh man, I forgot about Taco Bell. Jeez. For that one, right. And the last question that hasn't been picked is... It's science. Oh, there's an odd number.

yeah yeah so you get the answer for movies twice, I guess. All right. So, originally, Sips, you picked TV? Yes. Is that where we started? Yes. P Flax. Yeah.

Who won the first season of America's Next Top Model? Fuck. Oh, man. I have no idea. I've watched the show before as well and I have no idea. I've watched this show before as well and I have no idea. Let me think. Tyra Banks was the host who won America's Next Top Model first season. This was some time ago. Are you on your phone?

No. Okay, I was gonna say. You want me to get on mine? Gosh, let me think. Let's just say maybe it was someone who subsequently went on to do something else. I guess it would have to be about 30-something by now. I'll just fucking say, like, do a leaper or something. It was Adrienne Curry Road. Of course it was. Of course it was.

I didn't know who that is. Curry Road. Curry Road. That's the state of my toilet the other night. Fucking hell. And then what did you pick? I can't remember i think i should i think sips was like tv yeah and then you'd pick movies yeah yeah as your first category sips in what year was the first batman comic book published and i will take uh five years left and right. Oh man. So, what year was the first Batman comic book published?

1965? I'm afraid it was 1939. Oh come on, really? Yeah, before the- well, the year the war broke out. I did not know that. Okay, well, that's you done. I feel like Batman- oh, I guess it would have made sense that it came out much earlier because the comic wouldn't have come out in the same era as the original TV show, right? The TV show, the Adam West one.

No, that was in the 60s. That was in the 60s. Now, Sips took entertainment, so P-Flex, you're gonna have to do that. Okay, hit me. Whitney Houston went to the top of the music charts in 1992 with which Dolly Parton song? I can help you, Flaxen, once in a while. No, let me try and get there. Let me think of a

Whitney Houston song. 1992, that might have been the Bodyguard. So is that the I Will Always Love You, that one? I can't remember what it was called. It is! Well, I think Six was going to bust it out. I will always love you. Wow, that's great stuff.

Who sung it better, Flax or Dolly? So that puts P-Flax ahead, briefly. Five and a half to five. My big Batman blunder cost me the quiz. You get another movies question, Sips. Okay, hit me. So, actor Nicolas Cage is the nephew of what famous director? Oh, man.

I don't know, actually. Nicolas Cage is the nephew of... What's he been in a lot of movies? Francis Ford Coppola. It is, yes. How did you know? I don't know. I totally guessed.

Oh, my God. How did you know that? I did not know. Oh, wow. Fucking hell. Holy shit, it's a Christmas miracle. It's a Christmas. It is indeed.

You just witnessed a Christmas miracle. I pulled that one directly out of my ass. I did not know. Hail Santa. You did it. I think Sips did Animal. So give me Animals. Yeah, I did Animals, and I got a lobster question. You got the lobster one, you got fucked by a lobster.

Oh yeah, that was bad. Okay. Um, what is the state bird of Florida? Oh, come on, man. Oh, gosh. State bird of Florida. State bird of Florida. Oh wait, maybe I don't know this.

I might be thinking of a fish. I guess it- maybe it's like the bald eagle, I don't know. Um... Did you say Florida? Of Florida. Oh, Florida. Oh wait, maybe I don't know this. I might be thinking of a fish. Maybe it's like the bald eagle, I don't know. Did you say Florida? Of Florida. Oh, Florida. I was thinking California, sorry. Flamingo.

It is the northern mockingbird. Of course it is. That question is mocking me. I would have taken the mockingbird. At least it's a bit more of an animal question than the one I got, but there you go. In what way? Well, I don't know, it's a bit more of an animal question than the one I got, but there you go. In what way? Well, I don't know. It's a lobster. Tricky question.

I thought that how many legs does a lobster have is pure animal. Mine is also about American fucking state birds. Who fucking knows that shit? Would you like another one? I would like one that was less American-centric. Don't give him a too easy one, though, because the lobster one was a real... Give me a good, tricky animal

one about animals. What colour is a giraffe's tongue? Black. Wrong, it's purple. Oh, well, it looks fucking certain. That was a real animal question. That's a good one. Fine, alright. That's a real animal. Also,

a little bonus question, not for points. What animal breathes through its butt? It's a hippopotamus. No. No. It's a... It is a... It's that monkey with the... Platypus?

It is a turtle. Oh, hello. Oh, like an underwater turtle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not like Terry. I thought you might know anyway. No, I didn't know that. So, who's next? Sips, I guess, again. I'll take hippopotamus questions, trivia, for 200 please. I mean, you've already got one of them wrong. I know.

I want to continue the streak. Did you- did P-Facts take history? Yeah, I think you did. Yeah, he did. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Which president was also a licensed bartender? Oh, man.

It has to be Jimmy Carter. Who? Jimmy Carter. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, which president was also a licensed bartender? Oh, man. It has to be Jimmy Carter. It was, in fact, Abraham Lincoln. Shit, I would never have gotten that one. You're not supposed to get the ones that are against your category. Yeah, true.

I think music was one of Sips. Yeah, I took music. Oh, it definitely was. All right. What are the first names of the five brothers in the Jackson Five? Oh, this is an interesting one. You got Michael, you got Tito. Yes.

Um, you got, uh, Steve, Barry and Dave. Oh, so close! It's actually Steve, Barry and Brian. It's actually Jermaine, Marlon and Jackie. I did not know Marlon and Jackie, but I would have given you half point if you got one more. I think Jermaine was in Celebrity Big Brother, actually. Yeah, I think he might have been. God, the Jacksons had a lot of kids, man. I thought I had a lot of kids. The Jacksons. Yeah, dude. E had a lot of kids, man. I thought I had a lot of kids. The Jacksons.

Yeah, dude. Eclipse my amount of kids. They ran out of names. They called one Jackie Jackson. Jackie Jackson. And they had Latoya and Janet and Michael. And they're like, oh, my God. Tito.

Jermaine. Fucking hell. That's a lot of kids. Did they name him after the dictator, do you think? I don't know. Tito Mussolini, you mean? Yeah, sure. That one.

Yeah, yeah. So, Piri, no, Sips, you're on... You did technology, and you also did food, didn't you? I did technology and food, yeah. So I guess you have to do sports. I need to do sports and leisure, yeah. Okay. Who was the highest paid athlete in 2022? So last year, not this year. Who was

the highest paid athlete last year? It's Messi. Messi. It is Lionel Messi. Yeah, I knew it. Pulling ahead. Well done, Sips. Oh, Flax would have gone that one easy. I might have said Ronaldo, because he went to the Middle East. Oh.

So I thought he might have made more money there. Oh, you thought it was a trick. But Messi makes a lot of money. He does make a shit ton of money, yeah. You probably need a cargo container ship for all of his money. For food. You need to get this one. Because you gave him all of his money in pennies.

Oh, my God, man. I don't think you could. No, I don't think you could. I don't all of his money in pennies. Oh my god, man. I don't think you could. No, I don't think they made that many pennies. Yeah. What is the name of the world's hottest chili pepper? Oh, isn't it the... Oh, I don't know if it's the Carolina Reaper or the Ghost Chili.

I'll go with the Carolina Reaper. It is the Carolina Reaper. Well done. Very confidently answered. Very good. It is the Carolina Reaper. Well done. Very confidently answered. Very good. You're back on top. Well, you're not. You're half a point behind. But don't worry, because Sipsnow has to answer another question. I think he has to do

geography? Oh yeah, geography. Which Italian town is the setting for Romeo and Juliet? It is... It is... Oh, fuck.

I can't remember. I can't remember. Naples. I don't know. It is actually Verona. Verona! Fuck. I was thinking something with a V and I was just like stumbling, I couldn't

figure it out. I think that was a good guess. My Verona. That was a good guess. Oh, just a very quick question for both of you. No points, of course. Which state is known as the Badger State? Which state is known as the Badger State? One of our favourite states.

Wisconsin. It is Wisconsin. Thank you so much. Oh! The giveaway was our favourite state. Could have said Pennsylvania. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did I get a point for that?

No. No. I thought that was a bonus point. He said no points. That was just for fun. That was just to flex a little. Half a point behind P-flex. You've got to fuck your ideas up.

So how many we got left? Books and literature. Who did that before? That was Flax. I did that. Yeah, that was a Flax one. So, six. There's a celebrity.

I haven't done any celebrity trivia. That's Flax's turn to answer though, isn't it? Oh, is it? Oh yeah, you're right. It is. Celebrity trivia. Here we go. Are you ready? Yeah, I'm terrible at this.

Okay. Which Oscar winning actor was a cast member on the 70s show The Electric Company? Oh, I love that show. Oscar winning actor was on The Electric Company.

Trying to think who it could have been. I watched this show back in the 70s. to think who it could have been this was i watched this show back in the 70s who was on it he was one of the original cast okay hmm he played a smooth i'll go for let's go for um morgan freeman it was morgan freeman i gave you too much i gave you too much did i what's smooth you smooth? You got it? You got it.

Well done for getting it. Are you serious? I was thinking of an actor that has won Oscars but was also around in the 70s. I was going to go with Samuel L. Jackson, but he wasn't around. I didn't think you were going to get that. Well done. Well done. So, next question. Sips.

Yes. Which is the largest bone in the human body? It's the femur. It is. Very good. And P-Flex, who was the first author to use a type machine or typewriter when they wrote their manuscript? What was the manuscript called?

I can't really give it without... Unless you want me to give a little hint no no no imagine saying my camp in German please don't let it be Adolf Hitler I would imagine

it was written in around 1884 oh okay let's think. I think Frankenstein was written Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, but I don't think she wrote it on a typewriter. Say Bram Stoker. It's probably Bram Stoker.

Could have been something like that. I'm going to go with Jules Verne. Come on. Oh, good guess, but it's actually Mark Twain. It was actually Bram Stoker. I can't believe it. And that puts Sips one point ahead, a half point ahead. Half a point. Are there any more rounds left? Are there any more rounds left that we haven't duplicated? Yes,

I think there are. Science, you haven't done science, have you Sips? I think I just did science, did I not? Oh, you just did science, that's true, you just did. I just aced science actually. What about technology? I didn't get a technology question. Yeah, Flax didn't get a technology question. And if he gets it right, he wins. No, if he gets it right, you get a question. How about that?

Because you haven't answered one, have you? Sure. Yeah, give me a technology question. All right, fine. Okay. So, you need to win this. If he gets this right, I get to pick my category as well. Yeah, yeah.

That's fair. That is fair, yeah. Okay. So, what movie inspired the name for the iPod? What movie? Yeah. The Invasion of the Body Snatchers? No, it was iRobot.

No, it can't be iRobot. That wasn't a movie. That was a book. I'll give you a clue. The movie has the year that the iPod came out in it. 1984. 1985. The iPod came out in the 2000s.

1986. I mean, it can't be iRobot. Why would they say movie? No, it's not. I'm trying to help, but also throw you off so I can win. I was thinking Body Snatchers because they called them the pod people. But I think the iPod was like 2004, something like that. Yeah, it must have been.

Maybe 2006. So maybe it's 2001 Space Odyssey. Well done, Sips. That is it. Why is it 2001 A Space Odyssey? Well, it was called the E-Pod In that movie But you said the film came out

The same year as the iPod No I didn't I didn't say it came out the same year I said the name I love how you gave us the answer pretty much The iPod came out in 2001 Oh did it come out in 2001 2001 yeah

I'm pretty sure in 2001. Oh, did it come out in 2001? iPod came out in 2001, yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm pretty sure in 2001, I was still using that big creative MP3 player that looked like a Discman, you know, and it had like a full creaking hard drive in it and stuff. I had a mini disc player. Oh. You remember those little mini discs? Yeah. It was like a tiny CD inside a case.

It was too expensive. They had, didn't the PSP PlayStation Portable have those little tiny discs too? Whatever happened to that? Is it still... They're gone long gone. They just got replaced by memory... Like the iPod just didn't need discs. Like that was it.

And then phones started getting... Smartphones and everything, so it was like, you didn't need a disc. Yeah, but what about PSPs though? That like nobody has them or uses them anymore, right? They're just, they weren't particularly good. They weren't particularly good. It was okay. But I mean, it was like, again, you have to lug around a bunch of discs.

Yeah. I mean, the switch, you still have the little cartridges. Yeah. But they're tiny. They're very, very small. You can carry. You can download tons of stuff now too. Don't have to have the cartridges

but yeah the ipod when that came out it was that was fucking revolutionary yeah i had a creative nano as well the little oh nice like ipod looking one i had an ipod nano oh the little witty one um and that was quite good and the there was an ipod mini as well yes because the nano was literally about an inch on a side. Yeah. And just had a play and pause button. You used to be able to get one of those like pocket protector things, but it went on your sleeve. You could put it in.

Right. You couldn't get more than like an album on that thing though, actually. Yeah, I didn't have a lot of memory. It was the iPod Nano. Ridiculous. Yeah. Oh, no, I think you could get more than that on there. But you could use, people used it while running.

Oh, I'm thinking of the even smaller one. There was one which was literally an inch. There's a creative pebble. I had a pebble. It was like a little tiny, it was like the size of a little pebble. It had one button on it to basically start it. Yes, that's what I'm thinking of. And it could fit about 30 songs on it.

Pebble. Pebble. Well, there we go. That was the quiz. Did you like the quiz? Yes. I loved the quiz. Yeah.

So Flax wins then. We got the answer at the end. No, no, you won. No, I lost, brother. You got the answer. Sips, you won. That wasn't a question for me. I was helping Flax to win, though. I know, but he got it wrong. Therefore, he win by a half a point. Oh, well. Oh, well. Well, no, what you're saying, you helped him get the question right. So, what, now you need a question? No, no, I don't need a question, no. I'm happy with-

I can give you a fucking question, Sips. Just give me a category. Can I have a normal question, maybe? Instead of a fucking- Well, I guess I can give you- I guess, yeah. Just a normal one. Okay, fine, yeah, hit me. I'll answer a question.

It's your prize. Yeah, this is my prize, okay. I'll pick a category. I'll take music, please. Alright, your prize is you get to answer a question about music. Yes! Oh, this Yes. This is amazing. Which 1950s crooner. Yes.

Sang the hit song under the sea. Under the sea. Dean Martin. Oh, that's the only crooner I could think of. So no, it's Bobby Darin. Bobby Darin. Bobby. Oh, well. My name's Bobby. Hello, Bobby. Bobby! Oh, well.

My name's Bobby. Hello, Bobby. Bobby Darren. Hello. Hello, Bobby. Oh, wow. He was only 37 when he died. I wonder what he did. People used to live fast and die young back in those days, didn't they?

He failed to take antibiotics to protect his heart before a dental visit. He got sepsis and died. Oh, my god, man. What the heck? Maybe that's why people are so scared of dentists, I never realised. His last wish in his will was that his body be donated to science for medical research. And was it?

Well, presumably. Because sometimes people put that in their will and that is their wishes, but like the family step in and are like you are not doing this to Bobby's body you were not cutting up my Bobby but especially because he was still at the like height of his fame I guess so you'd imagine

that you were a first year medical student and they're like today we're going to do dissections so reach into the vault and grab a cadaver each I've got i've got bobby darren yes i'd like you to reach into bobby darren's head and uh extract his brain take his brain out hold up bobby darren's brain that's so fucked up

That's so fucked up. Poor Bobby. That's a disaster. Yeah. God, people- I mean, I think it looks like he was sick for his life, for his whole life actually. Yeah, that's unfortunate. It wasn't drugs or a plane crash like many of them went out those ways, I mean, God.

Was Bobby Darin the guy that sang Don't Worry Be Happy? He sang Under the Sea, I don't know. Don't Worry. No, no. Yeah. That was him, no? That was Bobby McFerrin, I think. Different Bobby. Sorry.

Bobby Darin is white. Got my Bobbies mixed up. And Bobby is black and still alive. Oh, no. Just a... And his Bobby's mixed up. Oh, God. You guys were really impressive with your trivia knowledge, actually.

Well, we're old. We're old, by the way. And trivial. Yeah, true. We were thinking of doing The Chase this year, instead of... that was the original plan. Right. You know how that... the format of that TV show?

I never watched it, actually. No, I don't really... I'm not super familiar... they run away, right? They have a team of expert hunters that monitor them and chase them around, right? It's something like that. Oh, the chase, you mean like the game show one? Yes, yes, yes. Sorry.

What's the one? I think you're thinking of the show Haunted, I think it's called. Yeah, it's quite different to the chase, the game game show where they're all in the same room for the whole hour turned up to be on the quiz show yes i'm here for the chase yeah i'm not okay you better get running disguises and everything i'm ready just answer the questions please no no no it's just quiz questions so they have like i think six of these um professional quizzes the chase is the one that's hosted by the guy uh who used to be bradley bradley walsh is awful he is he is

he is truly but that's you know what you do he he knows what he he's been doing these fucking quizzes forever hasn't he yeah he used to do wheel of fortune back in the day it's his whole life he's been doing daytime quiz shows. He was on EastEnders for a while, wasn't he? Was Bradley Walsh on as well? What was that other absolute dickhead that was on EastEnders? He was a guy. No, you're thinking Ian Beale.

No, I'm thinking of Shane fucking Richie. Oh, Shane Richie, yeah. No, but what's his face from the Chases was on as well. He was in it for a bit. What was his name again? Bradley Walsh. Yeah. Yes.

The chase, basically, the six expert professionals, and you have to answer questions, but you sort of get an idea of who- of the category, I think, and so you can pick a chase that you want to go up against. So you might think, oh, this is a- the woman will know nothing about sport, right? Because she's a woman, and of course eventually destroys you. Is that an actual strategy? Well, I think no, but that's like a basic one, isn't it?

It's like, oh, this guy looks like he likes he knows a lot about music, because he's got a Metallica t-shirt on or whatever. So I won't ask him questions about that. I'll ask someone else. So Bradley Walsh was on Coronation Street. Oh, sorry.

It was Coronation Street. And just looking at his filmography, guys, I've got some big news. In 2024, they're bringing back Gladiators and he's going to be the presenter. Wow. Bradley Walsh and his son Barney. Barney. Bradley and Barney Walsh are going to present Gladiators. Gladiators. Wow.

With Mark Clattenburg, the former football referee, is going to be one of the referees, I guess. Jesus. Doing the Gladiators. Ready. Narrated by Guy fucking Mowbray. Almost. It's going to suck.

This is on the BBC. Fuck off. Wasting my money have you watched um the uh the the survivor series on uh on the bbc no i'm not into it i i've really enjoyed it i've never watched survivor before and i didn't think i would like it i didn't really i remember it being on when i was when i was a kid my parents watched it and stuff and i just appealed. I never really wanted to watch it. And then we started watching the UK one, which as I understand is pretty similar in theme and format to like the American ones, except the players just aren't as good because the

American one's been going for like 45 seasons or something. Is that the one that Joe Rogan, that he used to host? Or was that Fear Factor that he used to host? I think that might've been Fear Factor. I think the guy who hosts Survivor is the same guy who's been doing it forever. Like, it's like Jeff something? Jeff. Jeff Goldblum. Yeah, that's right, yeah. Jeff Daniels.

So, I've got a few little news things this week about gaming stuff, if you want. Yeah, go on. Aldersgate 3 won the Game of the Year awards, which was quite a big deal. Good. E3's done! Yeah, which is quite a big deal. Good. E3's done. Yeah, E3's done. It's gone. Poor bastards.

People are just obsessed with fucking the bear in Baldur's Gate, although they got their account banned- Harry and got their account banned on TikTok when they showed- The bear guy is not somebody I ever had in my party. He kinda turned up, and I think I did things to annoy him, and left. Quickly. So, only two thirds of a house in Romance has asked him to stay in wood elf form during sex. Jesus.

Oh my god. So one third of people who have sex with the druid wanna fuck him in bear form. Which is fascinating. I tell you what, there's um, you know the mage guy, what's his name again? Gael. Gael. There's a very funny scene that I got to, when you're in the city and you go to the brothel and there's the two elves, they want to have a threesome or you can have a foursome with them and your

favorite companion. So I picked Gale. And I mean, if you don't want to play through and see it, I'm sure you can look it up on YouTube. But man, it's hilarious. The first time I saw it, I was laughing my head off. It's so fun. You know, Sips, we did the Rust roleplay last weekend.

Yeah. And the voice actor for Gale, is it Tim Downey, I think his name is? He was in the Rust roleplay. No way! Yeah, he recorded some lines that we played. Oh, that's hilarious. Yeah, it was really cool. Oh, that's cool.

And the guy who was the voice of Pudge, John Patrick Lowry, he did some lines as well. Nice, nice. Shout out to my Rust boys and uh cinny for organizing yeah that sounds really cool yeah it was an incredible event it's been an incredible two weeks honestly jingle jam uh exhausting of course but also like just just really fun lots of nice people lots of guests lots of people coming down you're still in the office pflex today i am here in the office you're going home tomorrow tomorrow i'm starving i'm gonna get some lunch and yeah we'll go and get a burger together shall we that'd be nice yeah
