hola amigos we're all away this week but here's an episode of zero degrees that i was on with
actually for a change three people i like harry lydia and ravs yeah not these two chodes
this is like your fucking answering machine message.
They must feel so blessed to be liked by you of all people.
They really did.
They really did feel blessed.
And if you think it's called Zero Degrees because it's cold, I've got news for you.
It's a red hot podcast, especially with yours truly on it.
Peace.
Hello and welcome to Zero Degrees, the podcast with no qualifications where we solve your complications.
I'm Harry and I'm joined by Ravs and Lydia.
How are you guys doing?
Not bad.
Good, thank you.
Hello, hello, hello.
We are also joined by an esteemed podcasting expert.
You know, one of the finest podcasters in the Yogscast.
I mean, what a special guest.
First special guest.
Pyrene Flax.
How are you doing?
Oh, me? Oh, thank you.
I'm sorry, I thought there was another guest.
No, that's very sweet of you. Thank you.
How are you doing, Pirian? You are a podcasting expert.
How long have you been doing podcasts? It's been years.
I think about six years or something like that.
Really? God.
Is that how all the Triforce has been going?
Yeah, I think so.
Holy crap.
Yeah, it's nuts. It's nuts.
What are your podcasting highs and lows?
We're all newbies.
This has kind of been our first little foray into it.
I would say consistency is key.
People come to expect it every week, same time, same place.
Don't mix up the format too much, but people do love a surprise edition.
But some people think they just want to hear you guys talking,
and I think i like
the idea of people writing their questions and you guys answer them right that that's the gist of it
am i wrong yeah okay zero degrees is you know me me me rams and lydia none of us have any
qualifications we literally never went to university we are not learned people of the
world academically none of you went to university no i went i went twice but I dropped out twice Fair I'm extra, extra failure
So I guess period
We should probably start with that
Do you have any qualifications?
I do, I have a degree in computing
What are you doing on here then?
You're going to ruin it with your
Articulate answers
I'm going to finish
I did very poorly
I scraped a 2-2 so i did yeah i did make a 2-2
so that is at least a grade where people go oh so you did pass but that's like c minus nobody's
impressed by that so and it was computing do you feel like your qualification helped you throughout
life do you reference back to those those academic teachings those lectures no no i regret it deeply i wish i'd never done it
um how much money did it cost you nothing nothing back in the day back in the olden days
yeah they gave us money i still got half of a grant not the full grant but i got half the grant
that they'd got the year previously.
And you had to take out a student loan
for living costs. If your parents had money,
you didn't have to. You could finish university
with no debt. I graduated in
1999. So
Harry was just a babby.
Ravs was also a babby.
Liz was also a babby.
I was 10.
We were blooming primary school, goers.
At best.
Some of you weren't even able to spell your names at all like him.
That is optimistic, yeah. I wouldn't have been writing.
So it was way back then.
And then, of course, now all you young'uns have been fucked over by...
Oh, can we swear on this book?
Yeah, you can say cunt.
You can say it all, Perrion.
Go for it.
There's no need to go that far.
Not with a lady present.
Perrion, I'm just giving you permission. People from this generation. I've never said the word cunt. You can say it all, period. Go for it. There's no need to go that far. Not with a lady present. You know, period.
I'm just giving you permission.
We've never said the word cunt in front of Lydia before.
Of course,
yes.
No.
Wow.
That's a lie and you know it.
That is a lie.
That is a lie.
Yes,
me either.
So period.
Zero Degrees is a podcast
where people write in
with their
usually
just
insufferable questions,
these long-winded things that don't go anywhere,
or their snappy little quandaries and queries that, you know,
our grand expertise will not help them with.
Right, but it's like you guys have life experience and opinions.
True.
You may not have qualifications, but look,
I know plenty of people with very fancy degrees they're complete idiots so don't worry it's this i mean if the question is about you know
i don't know i don't know let's pick around i think a toilet training or something like that
there's no way that you could go to like university to learn how to do that i suppose
but no one's going to listen to you and that's the point of having a podcast really isn't it
it's just to share your opinion out to the world and make people listen to it whether they want it or not they don't have to listen they
can do whatever they like they don't like listen to the podcast they can fuck off and listen to a
different one like uh the triforce podcast for example hey you can come back well i know that
you guys have started doing your mailbag section so what am i doing there when you guys were saying
some of these emails are so
fucking long reading the questions dick is i'm serious i had to do like i got so angry at the
end of the last mailbag episode we did the lewis and sims were like ted calm down like
i was like listen to me it's very simple your email is a page long it's not getting fucking
read stop sending me these things and then occasionally you'll get one that's really long where it's like,
oh, this is actually really good and this is worth reading.
Some people just think, I'm just going to go into so much detail.
I'm going to be fucking hilarious in this email.
Their jokes are just awful.
Shut up.
Just let us do the podcasting.
You guys, I don't want to spend 10 minutes reading email.
People sending us corrections about physics.
Actually, the clock is up.
Not down in this case. It's on the positive charge, and it's like, this isn't getting read.
So, yes, for these questions, background information.
My wife, blah, blah, blah.
I find this, what is the solution?
Not, I first met my wife in the spring of 1987.
It was a great spring.
You know.
Keep it snappy.
Keep it snappy. Exactly. I'm not even You know. Keep it snappy. Come on.
Keep it snappy.
Exactly.
I'm not even going to say keep it snappy.
Just snap your fingers.
That's how snappy I want.
Lydia can't snap her fingers.
Hey, all right.
I'm recovering from COVID. Lydia needs to be careful
so she doesn't snap all of her bones.
Oh, my COVID fingers.
My bones are brittle.
I've got to be careful.
All right, should we kick it off
With a question then?
Should we get into it?
Let's get
Let's get
There's so many
There's so many questions to do
I just feel like
I feel bad that we usually
Only do like three an episode
This backlog is just building
Alright
Shall I start us off?
Alright
Fire away
Dear exalted brethren All right, fire away. 13-year-old me deeply embarrassingly attempt to ask out a girl I had a crush on at school.
The short version of the story is that I wrote an anonymous poem about her
and sellotaped it on the door of her locker.
She didn't find the idea of a secret admirer that romantic, though,
and she spent the next couple of days mocking my heartfelt confession of love.
Why do my embarrassing teenage actions still haunt me all these years later?
And do you have any of those memories that keep you up
at night? Do you think she also
remembers the poem? Help me, Zero Degrees.
You're my only hope.
Hmm.
Do you take turns here?
Is that how it works? It's a free form.
You can jump up.
Lids had a thought. I'd like to hear it.
I was just going to say, why is it always when you're just drifting off to sleep
That you always have this sudden memory
Of something really embarrassing you've done
Why does your brain do that
Why is it there
Your brain is weak
That slipping point
Between consciousness and unconsciousness
Your brain goes
Do you remember when that was
You tried to impress me That's why between consciousness and unconsciousness, your brain goes, do you remember when that was?
You tried to impress me,
but you were truly bad.
Oh, no.
That's why.
The barriers that you keep up during the day to keep all those terrible memories out.
Ah, like that.
The thing is, it's such a horrible thing.
That last kind of thought before you do drift off
is just something that it's like...
It's like super cringe.
Stomach turningly cringe.
Is there anything that you guys have that comes to mind?
Do you guys have like one of those moments
that even you can share?
I've got a couple of them.
I remember the first girl I ever asked out,
I got down on one knee
and when I think back to that,
I cringed so hard, dude.
I know, I know, man.
Oh, I feel so bad for you though.
I was like, you know, like seven or something
and I was just like,
oh, that's romantic, right?
It's like romantic to get down on one knee, isn't it?
Right.
Did she say yes?
She did, yeah.
But, you know, I felt like a fucking tit.
I think back to it and I'm like, ugh.
Ugh.
And that was when I was seven.
So, you know, I can kind of forgive myself for that one.
I'm not going to share any of the other ones that creep into the back
of my mind
but you know
do you think she
do you think she thinks
about that very often
well I read a very comforting
fact that I'm going to
that people are too busy
thinking about their own
cringe moments
they've had in their life
before they go to bed
rather than thinking
of your weird
weird bit right
like
they're probably fucking
thinking about that time
they spelled all the M&M's
out of
their briefcase or whatever you know i mean like rather than fucking the the time you got down on
one knee and asked them do you want to be my girlfriend i think about that raps i would be
thinking about that but in that situation she might also be cringing because she's like actually
that was a really lovely you know what a cute moment from from
ravs and i didn't reciprocate and that was really cringe of me well she's supposed to do get back
if you turn on one knee and fucking you say yes what i'm saying is i think you have a lover out
there that you need to reconnect with oh no opportunity lover harry she's seven
she's not still seven yeah
oh my god She's not still, is she? Yeah. Noted. Don't go back in a tame machine.
The tame parents will get you.
I was just imagining you're at a busy meeting and someone turns and goes, gentlemen,
let's get started.
Bangs their suitcase, the briefcase at the table and it opens and M&M's are everywhere.
Just hundreds and hundreds of M&M's.
Yep.
I'll be back in a moment.
Leave the M&M's. Yeah. be back in a moment. Leave the M&M's.
Yeah, that would be
a hell of an entrance.
Do you have a memory period?
Do you have a memory that you...
Oh, so many, so many.
How do you deal with it?
Do you have like a coping mechanism?
I drink.
You're in good company.
Amen to that.
Blacks out the horror.
I try to remember things like that but i
remember that um well i've done a few doter events live and stuff like that and the first few that i
did i was really nervous um and uh you get through it with people saying it's just us talking just
imagine it's a conversation all that kind of stuff but it kind of something occurred to me, if you're ever going to watch a live show,
and we've all been to see a comedian or a play
or something like that, you're not hoping,
well, some people might, but they're fucking assholes.
You're not hoping that something goes wrong
or someone fucks up or makes a tear themselves.
You're hoping, I hope this goes great
and it's entertaining and that's why I'm here.
Even if you are some bastard who thinks,
oh, I hope the lead actor falls
and smacks his face
on that table, you're in a minority.
I genuinely think most people go there for a good time
and a laugh. It's the same in any social
setting. If you go to the pub, you want to have a laugh with your mates.
You don't want someone to fucking beans it
and spill their pint all over themselves in their briefcase
full of Smarties opens up. You don't
want that. You want, everyone wants
everyone to be cool and happy and have a good time.
That's the general gist. If this does happen, though though you're one of the lads that go whoa when someone
drops a glass or something no especially if it's the someone that works at the bar or in a
restaurant someone drops a plate you never dropped anything in your life yeah mr plate spinner over
here is laughing at it off yeah i do hate that when people just jeer jeer at people who are doing their
job or working or just make a mistake like it's such an unsupportive moment of society where we're
just oh let's all laugh at someone who's clearly really anxious about this really upset really you
know oh it's like that everyone like for them that is their sleepless night cringe moment you know
yeah yeah i hate cringe comedy and
i hate when people are obviously embarrassing themselves it really i feel for them so much
which is yeah which is bad sometimes i cringe about things that other people have done that
were really embarrassing because you can empathize you can be like oh my god that really could have
been me um so yeah there's a ton of embarrassing things i've done um and i think in general you
just have to remember that,
like you said, I think Raz was just right.
Most people aren't thinking about other things.
The last thought, how often has your last thought ever been someone else's embarrassing moment?
Never.
It's always your own, right?
Because we're, as human beings, we're very self-obsessed, really.
We have to be.
That's all we know.
You don't know what's good or not good.
At the end of the day, it's like self-reflectionlection you know it's like yeah you're thinking more about your own
shit than other people's shit i do think i would have a lot better sleep since my brain wouldn't
bring them up though i just feel like it does feel like a self-destructive kind of painful
experience to continually relive i do know that they do say that that at night part of your dreams
and part of what your
brain is doing is processing and unpacking everything that happened that day and i think
figuring out what's worth saving and binning off the rest you know so saving something because
sometimes you wake up the next morning you're like that's what i was going to do and your brain
has sort of had some time to chill and figure stuff out and make some new connections or whatever
yeah by the way if anyone thinks that's not true don't fucking write in because i don't come on this podcast
so i reckon that as your brain is winding down and you're getting ready for sleep maybe that's
when it starts unpacking and sometimes it starts at the back goes what's this this old memory where
you made a tit yourself oh no i'll draw that one i'm sorry boss i'll put it back on the pile you
know it's like stop bringing it up i'm put it back on the pile you know it's like
stop bringing it up i'm remembering it and that's making you remember it more just leave it getting
the engine going you know sometimes it throws up some old memories and you're forced to deal with
them i like to imagine my brain is just a very badly organized set of machines and workers
i wonder if there's ways to kind of like you know remove memories is there ways to like overwrite
memories and just like get rid of them i mean they don't say they do say that don't they because you use that movie
with the with kate winslet and uh so it's a carry yeah they all die that one yeah they ended so many
memories freeze did happen on ice cream what Is it Eternal Spotless Sunshine Mind?
Isn't that about changing your memories
because they don't want to remember the fact that they broke up?
I don't know.
That whole concept of being able to do that.
Have you ever watched it?
A long time ago.
And I have a shit memory.
I basically have that brain, that self-wiping brain.
I don't remember anything.
Well, I was put off the film because the title annoys me.
The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
I was like, I can't be bothered.
It's a really wanky title.
I think there's one called The Englishman Who Went
Up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain.
Oh, come on. It's got Hugh
fucking Grant in it as well.
I can't be dealing with this.
Have you heard of The Birdman's full title?
No. The Birdman's full title? No.
The Birdman or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance
or something like that it's called.
Oh, fuck off.
The Birdman was a better title, I'm just saying.
Yeah, the Birdman was a pretty good title.
Yeah, just pick your mind up and pick a title.
Yeah, little waffly titles.
What do you think of Everything Everywhere All at Once?
I don't like it.
But as a title.
I think it's alright and it does sum up the film.
It sums up what's going on, yeah.
It is a bit lengthy.
It could just be called Everything or All at Once or something like that.
But in a way, I think the title does fit with the film well enough.
And I did think, oh, what's this?
Is this going to be another pile of wank?
But it is actually really
really good so even if the title is a little bit self sort of you know uh what's the word
wanky wanky will do um you know the film is great so i i can forgive it that um i guess we didn't
really answer their question of how we how we helped them i i i don't think she probably does
remember the poem i think she doesn't even know that it was
him. She doesn't remember it at all.
She was seven. You're fine.
Also, I don't think that's that cringe. I think
you did a nice thing and
she was unlucky to not read it.
Although,
I will say this,
and I don't want to pop any balloons here.
Oh no.
Mrs. F in primary school, she would have been about seven or eight years old.
I've bumped into a lot of people that were at the same primary school as her
back in the day, hadn't seen in years.
They're like, oh, my God, Mrs. F, I haven't seen you in like 30 years.
How's it going? Blah, blah, blah.
And they always say, do you remember that time when we were getting changed for PE
and instead of just taking your skirt off,
you took everything off
and you were completely naked
from the waist down.
She was like,
yes, I do remember that.
And they remember it.
Oh, no.
And everyone that was there
seems to remember
Mrs. F flashing the entire class
when she was getting changed for PE.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
And she laughs about it now.
I mean, you know.
Fucking hell.
She's had two kids
she doesn't give a fuck
yeah yeah
but it was like
it was just so funny
that people we hadn't seen
in years
still remember that
so some things
do stay with people
but I don't think they
you would have to be
in front of them
and they would not say
it in a mean way
I think they would look back
at it as the folly of youth
and it's just one of those
funny things
and in a way
we look back
and we were all kids once
and all silly things happened.
And also, there's only a chance that you might see these people
a handful of times.
So you'll only ever have to painfully remember that
every now and then.
Yeah, it's not that bad, is it?
I feel like I know people that have done some
fucking atrociously embarrassing things.
But I never think about it.
You know what I mean?
Like you said, I'm never lying in bed thinking,
God, remember when that happened? And they shat themselves and blah blah blah like it doesn't
even occur to me so even if people are remembering they might bring it up with their friends as a
haha remember when that happened or I don't know but it's never really going to come up that often
no I wouldn't worry about it it's not worth worrying don't add that worry to your list of
yeah that's not needed.
It doesn't need any more worries.
Okay.
All right.
Let's move on.

All right, next question.
I'll be going to a wedding in England later this year.
Is there anything I, and they wrote this, not me,
a filthy European, need to know about English weddings?
Any weird wedding traditions?
And have you got any good ideas for a nice wedding gift?
See, I'm Scottish, so I've never been to an English wedding.
I've only done Scottish weddings
and they're pretty fucking crazy.
So I'm going to have to defer
to you three. What are you
guys thinking?
I've been to a bunch and obviously
I am married, so I've got a
decent idea, but I would love to hear your guys'
wedding stories if you have any.
Yeah, weddings.
Anything you need to know. Well, didn't you literally just go to one
harry i literally just got back from a wedding i feel like the the bit that you probably need to
be forewarned on i don't know if i don't know if this happens at other weddings but certainly
happens a lot of weddings in england is there's a lot of speeches and the speeches do go on oh boy
look sometimes they're really funny sometimes Sometimes it is, you know,
you get someone who's a great public speaker
or they just have some great stories
and it can be really entertaining.
But that also depends on how well you're connected
to the person getting married
as to whether you give a shit.
Because if you don't really know the person,
hearing about their tiny, you know,
childhood dramas for an hour from their dad
is not the most important.
It's boring as fuck, yeah.
So I think the speeches are like probably something I would
instantly flag up
also it's like again I don't
know how it works in other countries but like English weddings
if you're there for all of it it's quite a long day
yeah oh yeah
or like a room you know
midday maybe late
morning and it's there until you know
the evening ends and two three in the morning four in the morning whatever did you have to wear a mask it's there until, you know, the evening ends and two, three in the morning,
four in the morning, whatever.
Did you have to wear a mask?
It's a marathon.
Did you have to wear a mask at the wedding?
No, no masks.
Last one I was at, I had to wear a mask.
It was really strange.
That's really weird.
Everyone wearing masks in the church and stuff.
The wedding I was just at, though,
it was, sorry, I'd never seen it at a wedding.
It was a couple getting married,
I guess I can say where it was. It was in sorry, I'd never seen it at a wedding. It was a couple getting married, I guess I can say where it was.
It was in Liverpool Town Hall.
And it had this kind of like circular room.
It was where all the committee members were sitting.
And so it actually meant that everyone in the room could see each other.
Because usually at a wedding, my experience with weddings in the past is you sit in a church,
somewhere near the back with a draft, staring at some tall guy's back of his head, not be able to see anything.
But it was really nice to be able to actually see other people in the wedding
and just, you know, point and laugh at people.
Felt really good.
So really nice.
But yeah, wedding's long, just long.
Everything is long about it.
It's really fucking long.
And weird wedding traditions.
I guess I don't know how much these traditions
are just an everywhere kind of thing,
like throwing the bouquet.
Is that an every one thing?
Definitely in America as well.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But they do that thing in America where when the bride and groom cut the cake, they then
smush it into each other's face.
I don't know.
What?
Is that actually a thing?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I thought that was just like movie stuff.
No, they really do it.
It's revolting.
That's horrible.
I'm sure a lot of Americans don't do that
But to me that is a sign of a fucking
Trashy piece of shit wedding couple
What do you make of the
What's like the
Taking off the garter
It's weird and sexy
That's a weird part of a wedding
That's the one I like
I've never heard of that
Did you participate in that one? I don't know if that's a weird that's a weird part of a wedding that's what I like I've never heard of that did you
did you participate
in that one
there's like
I don't know
if that's an American
as well
isn't the guy
you're supposed
to use his mouth
or something
I think so
yeah
with his teeth
he takes it off
with his teeth
this is the stag do
you guys have picked up
no no
I'm certain
that I've been
to a wedding
one of my family members
wedding where they did
that and I was
very young
so I was a bit like
that is mortifying
that's a creepy joke!
Very Randy Marshall.
I've never heard of that.
Christ.
I know that, like you said, the speeches...
Oh, here's one that you might be confused
if you're coming from abroad especially.
The wedding breakfast is not breakfast.
Oh, no, it's not.
Prepare to be disappointed if you're a fan of breakfast.
The wedding breakfast is just the meal you have straight after the wedding.
They've just given it this stupid name, the wedding breakfast.
I guess it's the first meal you're eating after being married,
so that's why it's a breakfast?
Whatever.
I guess weddings in England, usually,
if you're going to, like, a very English wedding,
it does feel like tradition to the nines, right?
It's everyone's little moment of, we're going to pretend to be in downton abbey or whatever
it's like everyone just kind of pretends to be kind of posh for a little bit it's very weird
everyone's dressed a lot of people they don't normally wear suits wearing suits yeah you know
uh lads who would normally be wearing like mechanics uniforms are dressed up i think uh
i think if you go to a wedding and i have been to a few where you know everyone there it is one of the best days oh yeah your own wedding like if it's your own wedding
there's nothing like it because you're it's like being the star of the show you know yeah
it's but not the groom so much but certainly for the bride it's fantastic and just seeing all your
mates and all your family and everyone's so happy to be there happy to see you they've all got
lovely things to say that's great um if it's a friend's wedding it's amazing because you can relax you don't have to do anything
like i've been to a lot of weddings where i knew everybody there apart from a few people and it's
such a good piss up it's just a massive party and you're celebrating two people that you love and
it's brilliant so i would say if you but i've also been to a lot of weddings where i knew
the bride kind of or the groom sort of what's your been to a lot of weddings where I knew the bride, kind of, or the groom, sort of.
What's your tactic for those kind of weddings?
When you go, because this person doesn't say.
I assume if they're traveling from out of country, they must know them quite well, I guess.
You'd think so, yeah.
What's your tactic for turning up to a rogue wedding?
You know one person vaguely because you worked together 10 years ago.
Harry, can you remember what my response was to
how do I block out bad memories?
Yes.
Start early and drink often.
I would say in general
you don't want to get pissed if nobody knows you.
Oh my god, yeah.
Buy yourself a wine.
But you definitely want to have a few, take the edge off
and that'll loosen you up to go up and say,
how do you know so-and-so?
And they'll be like, oh, well, I'm his brother.
Oh, I didn't know that.
I'll make up somebody to meet you.
You'll be yourself like, I served with him and Nam.
I saved his life.
Many times.
Yeah, exactly.
What about wedding gifts?
They have a list. If they don't have a list, they're amateurs, and you shouldn't get them anything. Yeah, exactly. What about wedding gifts? Like, do we...
They have a list.
If they don't have a list,
they're amateurs
and you shouldn't get them anything.
Yeah.
Have a fucking list.
Like, it's not...
It's not like
some choosy beggars thing.
It's literally...
It saves so much trouble.
You don't turn up
with the same gift
as five other people.
You get a list, honestly.
What did you...
What was on your list, Perrion?
What was, like,
top of your list?
This is an interesting one. I had a bunch of things on my list let me let me tell you something my best man and my mates who i've been in school with it uh didn't get me a present for our wedding
didn't get us okay a present they were meant to but my best man delegated it to probably the least
capable member of my group of mates and he, and they've never made up for it.
That's heartbreaking.
I remind him about it often.
Mrs. F reminds me to remind them about it quite often.
But yeah, lazy bastards.
And we were young.
We were like 25.
Just by age, that's fine.
Yeah, I could see that happening.
I could see that happening.
It's the sort of thing.
Nowadays, we'd have bought it months before
because old people, we don't have anything else to do.
Young people are like, yeah, we'll be there, mate.
Yeah, we'll be there.
When is it?
Next weekend.
Yeah, yeah, I'll be there.
And then you turn up at last minute,
you've forgotten the present,
and it's going to be last anyway.
Who cares?
That's weddings in your 20s,
so it's going to be great fun.
So what did they not get you?
What were you looking for?
What was it?
Nothing in particular,
but they were going to get us a microwave,
which was great because we didn't have one.
Fucking great.
They just fucking forgot.
I mean,
we needed stuff.
We were literally,
I had just got a flight in London.
We'd just moved up to London.
This was 2001.
So we needed shit like that.
Yeah.
We had to go out and fucking buy a microwave.
I guess that's the usually,
like,
that's usually the beats,
right?
Is,
you know,
you bought a place or something and then you're getting married and the wedding gifts are
the shit that you need for a house.
Yeah. I see a lot of people nowadays do like a honeymoon fund um because usually like yeah people are living
together and have bought all the stuff they need right when they get married so they don't need
like toasts and stuff because they already got that shit so they'll do a honeymoon fund that
you can just they'll like give the bank details of it and it's just like contribute if you want
kind of thing i think that's pretty good. I think that's a really good idea.
We would have done that,
but my dad's gift to us was the honeymoon.
Oh, lovely.
Nice.
It was great.
It was great.
We went to Bali for two weeks.
Yeah, it was great.
Very nice.
Two weeks in Bali.
Holy shit, what a honeymoon.
Oh my God.
And the hotel that then became a Trump hotel.
Oh.
It wasn't theninger it wasn't then
it was something else
it's what he claims
it's what he claims
but I can see
what he bought
it's got a golf course
attached to it
so of course
he bought it
it's nice for some
have any of you
been to a Scottish wedding
no
I was going to ask you
about it
what is the difference then
what have we said
that you wouldn't
align with
I mean it pretty much all sounds the same except more people are wearing kilts What is the difference then? What have we said that you wouldn't align with?
I mean, it pretty much all sounds the same,
except more people are wearing kilts.
And, you know, at the end of the night,
this happens at a lot of Scottish parties,
not just like...
Yes, yes, fights.
Not just weddings, but we did,
like we played this fucking Loch Lomond song.
And everyone... Can you give us some rendition?
Can you sing for us, perhaps?
I'll take the high road and you take the low road.
And I'll be in Scotland for me and my true love.
You know, you get the gist.
Nice.
But you just form this fucking massive circle.
And the bride and the groom
will be in the middle
and everyone just like
goes around in a circle
going in and out
on them
it's
it's fucking amazing
sounds great
that sounds great
it's fucking amazing
you do see a lot of kilts
at English weddings as well
yeah
if any Scotsman
goes to a wedding
he's wearing a fucking kilt
oh yeah
I'm fucking wearing a kilt
to any motherfuckers wedding of course are you going are you going full kilt razzle are you going
covered up slightly kilt uh you're asking me if i'm gonna wear undies because uh well at my
brother's wedding i didn't wear any and i did a fucking twirl on the dance floor and i might have
flashed a few people but um yeah that's a cringe moment to think about when you're trying to fall
no i didn't feel bad though because my brother's mate did a cartwheel while he was doing a speech.
What?
Why?
Was he not wearing undies?
He wasn't wearing undies, no.
So he just flashed everyone his dick?
Everyone was looking up at my brother giving the speech, and he was walking in the back,
so my brother looking out could see him.
And I happened to turn my head, because I knew he was going to do something daft
and he just did a running cartwheel
mid speech
and flashed like the mother-in-law
and all that stuff, it was fucking great
I mean it does feel like if you're not wearing
any underwear of a kilt, you're kind of just
you're kind of looking for that moment
there's kind of an objective
and a decision made in the morning
that there's going to be a party for kind of forgot that i was didn't have any undies on so i was
sitting up on like the front bench of the church and like my brother's best man was like just like
to me saying like close your legs the poor vicar yeah
my balls were just like sitting on the bench.
Oh my God.
Would you wear a kilt if you could, Perrion?
I am a Forsyth, so that is a Scottish name.
So we do have a tartan.
I could, but Mrs. F wanted me to.
But I said as someone that was born in England,
I think it would be offensive if I was Scottish.
I'll give you a kilt pass.
You've got a kilt pass.
I appreciate that, Ravs.
If I ever go to a wedding with you, I'll wear a kilt.
I'm going to give you the underwear pass, though, Perrion.
I will definitely wear underwear.
I will definitely wear underwear.
I'm not going to flash anybody, believe me.
Nobody wants to see that.
Yes, I will definitely wear underwear.
But yeah, I feel like it would be offensive in a way to wear it
because I know if I was Scottish,
I would be especially for an Englishman to wear a kilt.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like if I was from somewhere else, maybe you could get away with it.
Be like, look at this Italian lad wearing a kilt.
Way one of us.
But for an Englishman, you're like, fucking sass.
Yeah.
Which wedding do you think is more drunken,
an English wedding or a Scottish wedding?
It's got to be the Scottish wedding.
Honestly.
It's got to be Scottish.
It's not even a debate.
No.
I think maybe an Irish wedding would be in the mix.
Yeah, I think that would be certainly in the mix.
I've been to a couple of Welsh weddings,
and those are also pretty boozy.
So I don't know.
I think English probably would be the least boozy.
Yeah, actually, maybe.
Out of all those, it would be the least paralytic.
Well, we're a bit more fine down here.
No, we're not.
We've all got drinking problems.
Raises pinky.
All right, shall we move on?
Next question then.
Yeah.
Alright, should we move on?
Next question then.
What is the worst liquid to put in a water gun?
There's a certain liquid I want to use here as a crutch and I'm not going to do it.
Was it jism?
It was jism.
Is it cum?
It would be too thick.
It would be a terrible liquid to have in
the water pistol
you'd want to water
it down a bit
you'd have to water
that shit down
it would dribble out
it would be terrible
I was going to say
period blood
would be pretty bad
oh my god
that's pretty bad
I was just going to say
like an acid
like you know
like you know
just pure chlorine
or something
but yeah fuck it
what if you're faking
a vampire
and he's like
oh he's loving it he's absolutely loving it what kind of fucked movie is this where just
there's a priest firing period blood at vampires
i'm not getting splashed i'm good good I feel like that question is just answered
period fucking right out the bat done
I can't think of a single thing worse than period blood
I don't know what about like
like liquid shit
like diarrhea which is just like
I'll be honest with you I would rather get period blood
on me than cum on me
and I would definitely rather get cum on me
than shit
so I was like,
shit's the worst one of those,
right?
Yeah.
Yeah,
just spraying on you
with one of those super soakers,
you know.
Just blasting you with shit.
Oh no.
It's going in my mouth.
What am I screaming?
It's going in my mouth.
That's gotta be worse. That's got to be worse.
That's got to be the worst one.
Yeah, that would suck.
Okay, great.
Good question.
I love that question.
I thought we had to
throw it in.
It was a short one.
It was a quick fire one.
Yeah.
Dear Zero Degrees, I attended the final day of Glastonbury Festival the other weekend with some friends and ended up getting very drunk.
Unfortunately, I had to drive to London to go to work on the Monday morning.
Shouldn't have done that.
Getting up early, still a little hungover, i.e. a little drunk.
This is why you shouldn't get drunk.
Yes, it's not good.
I left my friends to pack up and headed off on the three hour long drive. As I entered the city, my stomach began began grumbling caused no doubt by the copious amounts of beer and fast food we'd all ingested
during the festival began to gurgle worse and worse he needs a water pistol is what he needs
as you get closer to the car park near my office after getting stuck in traffic caused
i after getting stuck in traffic caused i finally pulled into that these people can't write these
people these people aren't intelligent they don't go to university finally pulled into the... These people can't write. These people aren't intelligent,
they don't go to university, remember? I pulled into the
underground car park, and I knew there was
no way I'd make it on the 15 minute
walk without shitting my pants. I quickly parked up in a
free space, using the car door as cover,
pulled down my trousers, actually
squatted down, and sprayed
shit all over the place, for what felt like a
lifetime. Quickly cleaning...
I'm going to skip that because it's disgusting quickly cleaning myself up some fast food napkins left in the car i drove
away from the crime scene and parked on another level before exiting to work the problem is i was
caught on cctv and my company was notified do you think i have grounds for unfair dismissal
as technically shitting diarrhea
in a public car park.
Can I just say,
the words technically
and shitting diarrhea
in a public car park
proves you have no kids.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's nothing to do with my employers.
So I don't see how I can be fired for it.
Please help.
Sacked.
Sacked.
Yeah.
You're sacked.
There's no helping you.
Well, I don't,
you could claim, if he went to the doctors and you know
claimed that he was ill
you can't fire someone because they were sick
people have stomach issues you know
when you gotta go you gotta go
go in your car
why wouldn't you go in your car because it would be disgusting
yeah well now it's disgusting in a car park
thanks mate
actually that's true if you're gonna do you've got to just shit all over the floor
of your car, don't you?
I don't know.
But I mean,
what if like, you know,
he did it
and then came back
like two minutes later
and like, you know,
had some water
and was like, you know,
washing it away and stuff.
Would that make it better?
I think that would be
acceptable.
Yeah, but he came back
and washed it.
He just did the shitting dash,
you know what I mean?
Something terrible has happened.
Something awful has happened.
He had an emergency situation.
You wanted to go to work.
You don't want to turn up
work with shitty clothes. Yeah. He poops in the car park wanted to go to work. You don't want to turn up work with shitty clothes.
Yeah.
He poops in the car park.
He's like, guys, I'm going to need 10 minutes.
I'm going to sort something out.
I'll be back.
And goes and cleans it up as best he can.
He'd at least say, well, we did catch one CCTV going,
oh, behind the car door, shitting in a car park,
which is like, that's a bad B-side to any record.
I want to know how
did they know that they were caught
on CCTV?
The license plate. The company said to us,
we saw your car. You pulled over.
You clearly shit in the car
because Steve had to go clean it up.
It's so bad.
It's grim as fuck.
There's something also about public defecation
that I'm just not okay with in any way.
It says desperate.
It really says desperate.
Either you're a desperate person in dire need of help
or it's a desperate situation and you couldn't help it
or you just don't give a fuck.
I just imagine going for a poo,
you're in such a vulnerable moment,
such a vulnerable state,
and just him squatted over.
He's teetering because he's drunk.
And he thinks he gets away with it.
That's the bit.
You're like, yeah, it's all worked out.
I wouldn't want to work there anymore.
It's all golden.
I wouldn't want to work there.
Yes, it might be too embarrassed.
That would be the cringe moment.
If my boss said to me, if Lewis came up to me and said,
I've got video footage, Lydia, of you shitting on Queen Square.
We've just tweeted a TikTok on the Yogscast official account
of you shitting in Queen Square.
I'd be like, fair enough.
I'm gone.
I'm changing my name and moving country.
Like, I wouldn't be fighting for anything.
I like that the question is,
is it crowns for unfair dismissal?
Like, you're 100% it is.
It's not like...
He's saying, is it unfair dismissal?
So can he sue them and say,
how dare you fire me for shitting in the car?
He's claiming that he's been wronged in some way.
I feel like we need lawyers
who are listening to Zero Degrees
to come and represent this person
just because I want this to go to court.
I want this to go to court.
Boo!
Send him down, Your Honour!
Boo!
Yeah, same.
I hope I get jury duty or something.
I don't know how they can do a jury trial for this.
They've got to go all the way.
They've got to go all the way.
All the way to the top.
Come on.
That actually reminded me. Sorry, um no no go i remember this
is when we we just moved to westbourne which is where i grew up in bournemouth we've been there
for like a week or so went to the shop and an old lady who was obviously a homeless old lady but
when you were younger she just looked like a slightly disheveled old lady came out of the
marx and spencer's i think it was at the time took down her trousers and just peed right there in the middle of the pavement in front of
like dozens of us and I was like nine and I was so shocked she was about about
my granny's age she looked an old lady kind of almost old ladies kind of look
like my granny back then oh my god why is someone's granny peeing on the pavement
I was horrified I hadn't thought of it in
years. Thank you, Harry, for bringing that up.
I've actually got a worse one
than that. I was working retail
in a Dunn store, which is like this
Irish retailer
and this old lady was in the homeware
aisle looking at cushions and lamps and
shit and then
she just shit
everywhere.
All down her dress, all over the floor oh no gagging people were gagging we had to take her into the staff elevator they were gagging for it
to go get her changed and the rest of the day
the staff elevator
and for the next couple of days
just fucking reeked of shit
oh
that's really sad
the thing is
when it's like an old person
or something like that
like I don't
it
I just feel bad
you know it just sucks
it just sucks
yeah
like you know
they clearly
there's something clearly
going very wrong
and it's a disastrous
moment for them.
But when it is just some hungover young lad
who's been to Glastonbury,
who's popping a squat and shitting in a car park,
I think my levels of empathy
have probably actually dropped quite a lot.
This is entirely a self-inflicted misery.
Like, he went and got trollied.
You guys must have been in a situation like this before,
though, where you're like,
your stomach's just like, oh, shit, I'm in the middle of nowhere.
What the fuck am I going to do?
It's awful.
I've had that before.
I remember I was coming back from work.
It was about a half-hour train ride.
We'd been to the pub, and we'd sunk a few pints quickly.
I got on the train not needing the toilet.
But by the time I got near my stop, I was actually doubled over in pain.
My bladder was, like, close to bursting, and I was just cl over in pain my bladder was like close to bursting
and I was just clinging on to the pole like oh my god and I managed to I was limping off the train
because I was in so much pain I had like three pints worth desperate to go out and I hadn't
taken the tactical wee before I got on the train and as I'm getting on the train as I get in I'm
thinking oh shit I kind of need the toilet and I would every station we got to I was getting
increasingly desperate and the doors would open I'd be like trying to get fresh air
see if there was a toilet on the platform like next one shh next year's long oh there's me
going to the toilet and everything's going so slowly that train is moving so slowly right now
come on no this was on the overground couldn it have just popped off and had a wee-wee?
Well, no, because it's broad daylight.
Yeah, but men always do that.
They're always whipping it out and swinging it about and pissing everywhere.
Typical men.
If that had happened, Liz,
typical men shitting in car parks and winging on train platforms.
I mean, they have people,
there are constantly trains coming and going.
It's a train platform.
It's not in the countryside where you can go into a bush.
It's like a literal platform with people on both sides.
And you're like, I'm sorry, I've got to.
Also, wait.
At that point, are you pissing onto the rails?
Or are you pissing like...
You can die.
Yes, you wouldn't pee on the rails, Harry.
What are you talking about?
Someone died doing that on the underground.
The pee can't go back up.
The electric doesn't go up the pee, does it?
Yes, it can. Someone died.
It's a stream of liquid.
The pee, it's not actually a stream.
There's little breaks in it, right? Also, it's moving quite
quickly.
You urinate faster than electricity.
Are you single-firing
your piss as well?
That's the tactic.
When you're pissing down onto rails, you've got to do single shot.
You'd have to make sure there was no connection.
Yeah, no solution.
He'd be flying around everywhere.
He's doing it. He's taking the biggest gamble.
This is unbelievable.
People would be filming it.
A Russian tourist
I think went to piss on the rails
in an underground station in London
and got electrocuted and died,
like, during the middle of the day.
This could be false.
No, no, no.
I read it in a newspaper.
What a way to go.
I read it in a newspaper.
It definitely, I think it's very rare.
Man urinates on, well,
the first result is fellow passenger.
We'll skip that one.
Live rail.
Polish tourist.
Polish tourist.
There we go.
There we go.
Kibbled by urinating on 750-volt electric railway line. There we go. There we go There we go Kibbled by urinating On 750 volt
Electric railway line
There we go
There we go
Was that underground
Or overground
He was 41
He was on a trip to London
It was at a
South London station
So it wouldn't have been
On the underground
It would have been
The overground
Oh my god
Gotta be careful
What a way to go
Yeah what a way
Getting electrocuted
Whilst you're taking a piss
God You've got a family You have to tell your wife The police Sorry way getting electrocuted. Why should taking a piss?
They have to tell your wife the police
God you would die with your decade you'd be dying with your decade. I don't think the dick could be left I think that They want to do an open casket. He's working a kibble, so he's riding out.
There's been such a little match that gets a husk.
People are alive right now, aren't they?
That idiot.
I was always telling him to stop doing that.
He was addicted to it.
He loved the thrill.
He loved the thrill.
The single shot thrill.
Single shots.
It's so fast. How the electricity travel that fast oh oh fuck sake fuck sake uh right yeah brilliant what was our uh our final words to this man who
willingly shat um we say that he sort of shat in his van.
But I think he does have a chance
if he tries to spin it like he was very ill
and it caught him unaware.
He should have just tucked in.
He should have just tucked in,
put his clothes into his socks
and just accepted fate.
And just got on with his day.
But what is our advice
if this happens to people in the future, though?
How do we avoid this
apart from, you know...
Make the situation right.
People will look
much more favourably on you
if you own up to a mistake
and try to put it right.
Admit your fault.
Not always,
but you're much better standing
than if you just try and hide it
and go park in another space.
Play your hangover
off as food poisoning
or something
and that's what you had to...
Lie.
You should have driven back over it a couple of times and just like smeared it out.
No one would have noticed then.
You could have just said you were driving through cow pat or something.
That's what you should have done.
Yeah.
Or, you know, keep a couple of plastic Asda bags in the back of your car.
Oh, yeah.
Some wet wipes as well.
No, because they have breathable holes.
They have holes you can't suffocate yourself.
Terribly designed for capturing liquid shit.
I got told a story about someone that was in a van with some workmates
and he went to fart and it turned out it wasn't a fart
and was driving along and no one said anything.
And he thought, OK, I've got to wait with this.
But he had to obviously get out of the van.
I'm saying they must have smelled it and they were being polite.
Oh, 100%.
There's no way they wouldn't have.
And I think he had to ask one of his mates
to go into like an Asda
and go buy him another pair of trousers
and just tell them,
look, I've shat myself.
Like, just have to be open about it.
I just shat myself.
I really need someone to help me out.
Like, that would be mortifying.
I would never be able to sleep at night
after something like that.
I used to work as a window cleaner and I was working with one of my mates and i'm not gonna name him obviously
but he john shit he shit himself and then like it was just like he kept saying mate mate me mate i
need to shit i need to shit and nobody's in to let me in to use their toilet fuck i need to shit
so he just shit himself and then just took those boxes off and threw them away like wiped his ass with his
box shitty boxes and threw them into the scottish countryside oh my god oh my god is this like
bad belly like diarrhea or is this just like i think it was just a full-on shit
how can you not hold that in until a little bit longer yeah that feels
like a choice
I feel like he
made a choice
it certainly
wasn't me
it definitely
wasn't me
I feel like I
would have held
it in until I
got to someone
or down tools
and went to
go find somewhere
to do it
but
oh yeah like
was there not
a bush or something
he just
just shat himself
you know what
they should sell
you know the way
we've got i don't know if you've seen this it's a collapsible laundry basket it's like a plastic
laundry yes it's got a solid bottom it's not like one of those ones that folds out yeah it's like
corrugated so you pull it up so you just need everybody needs you're having your car you've
got a spare tire yeah you've got a jack now you'vea-loo. And I don't know if that name's taken at all.
No, I think that's it.
Innovation.
I'm thinking portable and loo.
I've combined the two.
Port-a-loo.
And you just go cluck, cluck, cluck.
And it forms like a bucket, a little lid,
that you can just about crouch over, do your business.
And then you just seal it up.
It's airtight.
You put it back in the boot.
You get home.
Oh, tip it away. Put it back in the boot. You get home. Oh tip it away
Clean it out with the hose
And then you're ready to go I thought you were gonna propose something different period I think you proposed is this kind of shame like like consecrated shame thing that you could just raise up around yourself
Oh I hate that
Just shit yourself with no one being able to see
Then leave the shit on the floor and leave.
Oh, but then you're
in a hot box
of your own shit
for a minute
before you get back.
It's just a curtain.
It's very airy.
Yeah, it's a shame.
And then you wheel away
in the curtain
and see TV
and be like,
who's watching that shame curtain?
It's like when you have
to eat the bird
and you have to put
the napkin over your head.
Autoland, I think.
Yeah, like that.
Yeah, disgusting.
To hide your shame from God, I think that's why they wear the napkin on their head yeah yeah like that yeah disgusting yeah you'll be weird
god i think that that's why they wear the uh the napkin on their face when they eat that did you
speak about that on a previous episode no no one of my one of my favorite subjects it's a good it's
a good little i don't know what it is i don't know tiny baby bird that they stuff they force feed it
like corn and stuff like that and then you eat the bird home and you wear a towel or a napkin you
wear like a cloth over a napkin you wear
like a cloth over your head while you do it to hide your face from god because it's shameful
wait who does who's eating this bird the french yeah yeah yeah and it's it's beak and its little
claws cut up your gums and the blood is meant to add to the flavorless kind of only god
it's pretty crazy i read about it on hannibal they did it in the tv Only in France. It's pretty crazy. I read about it on Hannibal.
They did it in the TV show with Mads.
It was pretty cool.
Yeah, it's revolting.
I think Jeremy Clarkson ate it on an episode or something.
He would have, wouldn't he?
Yeah.
On that note, I think this is a perfect place to call it.
One question each.
I like that.
I think we've done good.
You guys did four questions.
That's good.
That's good going.
Last week, Raps and I did two.
To be fair, they were very lengthy.
They were like A4 pages.
Wait, Harry, have we got a run update?
I feel like without context,
we might have to do a run update another week
because without context, period, it's a run update another week because without context period
it's such a long story of just
nothingness
next time I come down you guys can fill me in on whatever
I'll fill you in on the run update
we'll have a run update next week where we can fill Lydia
in exactly on Ron and
all of that goodness

we're going to be making
guests pretty special as well so you're going to be
our first guest for a while
it's going to be a rarity
I am genuinely honoured it's always a privilege
to come on someone else's podcast because it feels
like you're intruding but you guys have made me feel
very welcome thank you so much

if you've enjoyed listening
make sure to rate the podcast

some of the new ones today

I feel like the consistency
gets better with time
as they learn what we want
the pain centre ones
are my favourite as well
when people say like
please help
in three days
help I'm trapped
in an elevator
and it's like
oh that was edited four weeks ago.
Yeah.
That's always good.
And go and check out Mailbag, Triforce Mailbag.
Give it a little listen if you've been listening to Zero Degrees.
That's all you're going to get for the next few weeks
because we're all away.
So we've pre-recorded all the Mailbag episodes,
which is something you guys, you budding young podcasters
will have to start thinking about,
is pre-recording
and putting out an episode while you're
away. Otherwise people go, where's the episode?
We're far not, we're not organised
enough for that. We've been trying to get ahead
and here we are.
Here we are. We're going to be late this week.
Your first tip to us was
consistency was keep you live on the same day.
And this week we're going to be...
