That was Mulchie
with Yogg and Pod
a cover of the Katy Perry song Hot and Cold, especially and exclusively for the YogPod.
If any of our other listeners out there would like to cover a popular song, especially for the YogPod, adding their own special lyrics about the special Yogpod special special special
special, then please
send your
MP3s to
yogscast at gmail.com
Thank you, yes.
Special! That's a good idea.
I don't know what happened there.
I just went a little bit mad. Spazzed out.
Yeah, you did. Special!
What kind of things do you want them to cover?
Classical stuff or classic rock, classic pop, metal?
What sort of styles do you want?
Maybe something by Queen.
Something slightly camp, I think, works in your favour.
I mean, everyone knows someone who's in a band.
So if you've got a local band and you play covers,
you must play covers of some popular songs, so you how to play them green day anything just if you play an instrument
if you play the recorder do a little recorder tune and then like sing some jog pod related
lyrics doesn't have to be long uh any anything is good right it can be about the queen it can
be about jaffa cakes it can be anything Jaffa Cakes, it can be anything barely related.
We want to hear it and we want to play it, okay?
So send it in.
Let me tell you a little story about something that happened today.
Alright, yes, what is it?
Let me.
Okay.
This is so fake.
Alright, go on then.
Oh, you tell your story.
Go on then, I'm just tell your story. Go on then.
I'm just setting it up.
Are you sitting comfortably?
Then let me begin.
So I've been up the street,
and I'm walking home.
I've got a little bag of shopping that contains
a load of cigarettes and a sandwich
from the bakers.
The cigarettes aren't from the bakers,
the sandwich is.
Sorry, just to clarify
that so i'm walking down the street and i noticed that there's there's a little bit of something
that i like to term continental drift or subcontinental drift rather okay something
below the equator has moved and i'm like oh what's what's going on what's going on
and before i know it my boxer shorts have completely slipped down my body right
my jeans are still on right my jeans are still on but somehow my boxers just slipped off.
And I'm walking down the street with this amazing feeling of freedom.
I have to put this subtly.
My sausage roll and...
No, no, oranges. My sausage roll and a cup of that.
A banana and two oranges in a bag.
Was that right?
The one which we were using?
Oh, right, yeah.
That's a bit more complimentary.
So my banana and my two oranges have
completely freed themselves
from the confines of my boxer shorts.
My jeans are still in place
perfectly normally.
I don't even know how this happened.
How can this happen?
I think it was God.
Something magical.
Something magical occurred, Lewis.
As I was walking.
I don't know why.
It was just so weird.
You know, I'm just,
I'm walking and I think,
what's going on?
Oh.
Oh.
It was so odd. It was so odd.
It was so odd.
This is a mysterious story of mystery and intrigue.
But have you been, like, doing your boxer shorts on a hot wash
and the elastic's just gone a bit, and it doesn't elastify?
Well, I mean, that's a possibility.
Or have you lost weight?
I don't think that I'd have lost weight.
So possibly your boxer shorts were a bit loose on you
and they just sort of slipped down.
But, I mean, they didn't, like, come off completely, did they?
And, like, come out the end of your trouser leg.
I don't even know how that's possible.
How would that happen?
Because you've got both your legs through it.
You can't...
There's no way.
There's no possible way that that could happen.
It was so weird, though.
I felt like I was naked.
I felt like I was nude.
That's an amazing story.
If any Yoggnaughts have a story as exhilarating as that,
yoggscast.gmail.com
Please keep it to yourself.
Please keep it to yourself. Please keep it to yourself.
Or if you have an explanation
for what might have happened.
Yeah, what happened?
What happened?
Did someone cast a spell on me?
Or something?
What was going on?
What was that all about?
I mean, I'm glad it wasn't the other way around.
My trousers just...
Whoop!
Like a slide whistle went off.
Oh, God.
It was so weird, though.
Have you never had that happen to you?
No, I've never had anything even close to that.
I can't imagine it's something that happens...
No, it was so weird.
It's the kind of thing that might happen in like
Eureka or something, you know?
Or in Stargate Atlantis.
In Fringe.
Walter's examining his underpants.
I need to take these underpants back to my lab.
Is that your
Walter impression?
Yeah, that's my Walter impression.
It's really good.
Hello, and welcome to... Yorkport Yorkport
Yorkport
So Hannah, have you done your cooking segment?
Is it ready to go?
It is. I've got to find it in my book.
It is time for Hannah's cooking segment. It is time for Hannah's cooking segment.
It is time for Hannah's
cooking segment.
Hannah's cooking segment.
Hannah's cooking segment.
It is time for
Hannah's cooking segment.
That's the best jingle
I think I've ever heard.
Wow.
This is high praise.
We have high hopes for this segment, Hannah.
God.
I don't know now.
Don't disappoint us.
Try and make it funny as well.
You can't make it funny.
What do I look like?
I don't know, I was reaching a bit there.
Oh, man.
Do it in a funny voice.
No.
Do it in a Welsh accent.
I can't do a Welsh accent.
We've tried this.
Yes, you can.
You're really good at it.
I can only do it when I'm trying to do, like, a Russian accent.
Try and do a Russian accent.
Hello?
Santa's cooking segment.
Oh, no, it's Terry Wogan.
It always happens.
Always happens.
Firstly, you're going to need a pen and paper.
Okay.
So, go and get one.
So, pause the YogPod now.
And never play it again.
Just leave it like that.
Quick wash your hair.
Okay, you're back.
Right, okay.
So, you've got your pen and paper.
Firstly, you're going to need baking parchment
What?
And string
What the fuck is that?
What is baking parchment?
I've never heard of that in my life
Fine, okay, greaseproof paper
Do you know the way, you know in the supermarkets
You've got where the tin foil and the cling film shit is
There's something that looks like paper in a roll
that's usually called greaseproof paper, baking paper.
Ah, yes, greaseproof paper.
Something else.
Yep.
Yes.
Yep.
You need that and you need some string.
Some string?
But don't have string with anything on it.
What kind of string?
This is complicated.
You need paper and string.
Paper, paper, no, hang on, hang on. Could you use? This is complicated. You need paper and string. Paper and... No, hang on, hang on.
Could you use...
It's ridiculous.
Could you use the baking parchment as the paper that you're making notes on?
No.
Well, you could, but it might get shit on it.
By shit, I mean Thai sauce.
It would be useful, though, if you served it in a restaurant and people were like,
oh, this is really nice, can I have the recipe for this?
And then you just smile wryly
and you point at the baking paper. Also,
the paper sometimes will
crackle and just break
at the top, so you wouldn't be able to do that.
It'd be like an old treasure map.
So we've got some string.
I mean, what kind of string? Is this the sort of string
your dad always has a roll of?
It's like white. It's the drawer. He brings it out
and ties doors open with it.
I'm sorry.
You don't want anything.
My house is pretty much held together by string.
He ties doors open with string.
Oh, God.
What's wrong with a doorstop?
Everything's tied together with string.
You can't use DIY string.
If you don't like the blue-covered string
and shit like that, don't use that
because it will come off, go in
the sauce and you will probably die.
Just get...
Baking string.
Baking string!
Baking string!
Is that in the cooking section as well along with the cling film
and the baking parchment?
Buy some baking parchment
and some baking yarn.
Just plain string will do.
Just don't get covered shit, varnish shit, whatever it's called.
You will also need some red Thai curry paste,
some root ginger, which is usually in all supermarkets now,
but if not, get dried stuff.
Works just as well.
Are we talking about root ginger as in the really knobbly vegetables? Yes. That you buy in the vegetable section. And it freezes as well. Are we talking about root ginger as in the really knobbly vegetables
you can actually buy in the vegetable section?
And it freezes quite well.
Okay, so we've bought a knob of ginger.
I believe that is the correct term.
Yeah.
A knob.
You can just break a bit off.
Stick a knob of ginger up your arse.
That's the recipe.
Tie it with some string
so that if it gets lost
you can just tug it and it comes back out.
Carry on.
We'll cut this.
Right, so we've got
the Richard hot fish stock.
I'll give you the exact amounts in a bit
because I can't be arsed right now.
Coconut cream. You can get half fat
coconut cream if you want to watch
your weight, if
not just go with the full fat, it tastes exactly the same. And then two fillets of some sort
of fish, salmon or cod. What's the name of this dish that people will be preparing? It's
called Thai fish in a bag. Thai fish in a bag. Yeah.
Sounds delicious.
Could you not have come up with a more eloquent name?
I mean, if you were serving it to the Queen, what would you call it, Heather?
Not in a bag, because you're supposed to serve it in a bag.
If not, you could do, like, a Thai green curry with salmon.
This is a very highbrow dish, then.
It's in good housekeeping.
For the Yacht Dots who are looking for a more refined palette.
You need to call it something.
Name it after yourself.
Delicious.
Call it, you know, Hannah's Hot Haddock.
Lombag.
Lombag.
Hannah's Hot Haddock.
Yeah.
Hannah's Hot Haddock.
I like that more than Lombag.
Hannah's Hot Haddock.
It's okay.
So we've got our knob of ginger.
We've got a little jar of red curry paste
We've got some coconut cream in a tin
We've got two fillets of fish
Are you writing this down?
Yeah, of course I am, everyone should be
All the Yognauts should be writing this down
I've emailed you this
No, listen, this is for the Yognauts' benefit
I want everyone, I want all Yognauts
To try and make this and give us feedback
On what it was like
I can promise you
Someone has already gotten laid thanks to this dish And it wasn on what it was like. I can promise you someone has already gotten
laid thanks to this dish. Really? And it wasn't me. Who was it? Totes. Totes. Totes' first
meal he cooked for his girlfriend. I thought you were going to say his first sex. God.
I probably was. Let's not go there. Half a yellow pepper, a carrot, some broccoli, and a bit of coriander.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Half a yellow pepper.
I'm trying to write this down.
Half a yellow pepper.
Yep.
Coriander.
A carrot.
A carrot.
One carrot.
Could you try and talk like Nigella Lawson?
No.
First, you need a lovely thick stick of ginger.
Oh, I believe the technical term is a knob.
Oh, and you take your knob
and you pop it gently into the warmly bubbling fish stock.
Actually, you've got to grate it.
Sorry.
Oh, God.
So, okay, let's just start the...
Sorry, Hannah, sorry.
So, there's extra ingredients.
Half a yellow pepper, coriander...
Please, let's just start the video.
This is getting silly now.
Okay.
Those are the ingredients.
Um...
Hang on.
I'm the cookie segment!
Sorry, that's the new jingle.
What? Was that the cooking monster?
I sounded like him.
Yeah. He's the cooking monster, Lewis.
The cooking monster.
Ah, clever.
Don't want to get into legal trouble.
He's got to be called that.
I'm the cooking segment!
I'm the cooking!
Sorry.
Do I have to...
Sorry, go on. Do, go on, go on.
Do I have to do the bag and string bit again, or have we got that?
Have we established that?
Just go through the list of ingredients, the full list of ingredients, in a very refined way,
so people have a chance to reckon that.
Right, okay.
Okay, you will need red Thai curry paste.
You need a quarter of a tablespoon.
One and a quarter centimetres worth of root ginger grated.
It's a bit precise.
But you can freeze the rest of the ginger and just ignore it for a year and it'll be fine.
Or it'll grow mould, which is what happened to ours and we had to throw it out.
Lovely.
Lovely.
Thanks for adding that.
That's put me right in the mood for your delicious food.
You're welcome.
Maybe we should just say, if you want the recipe and you're too retarded to write down...
No, no.
You could email us.
Oh.
Oh.
Yeah, and then we could send the recipe out.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no. No, no, oh. Yeah, and then we can send the recipe. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We could just do a tinyurl.com slash Hannah's cooking segment.
I don't have anywhere to host it.
Or Mulchie steals it.
Yeah.
We could replace it with Goat Sea.
People will be looking at it and thinking,
is that where I put the ginger?
50 ml of hot fish stock.
100 ml of coconut cream.
There is half-fat coconut cream
now available in shops.
It tastes exactly the same.
Because this is a pretty fatty meal.
Whatever fish you want,
it's got to be skinless.
Could you use fish fingers?
Half a yellow... No.
Could you though? Fish cake?
No, no, no. Could you use fish fingers though?
Could you use fish fingers? Yes.
Okay. Yes. So that's optional.
And you can use them from frozen.
This recipe, you can use the fish from frozen. It still will cook it. Okay.
Excellent. Frozen fish fingers it is. So if you want fish fingers...
Okay, half a yellow pepper, finely sliced,
a carrot cut into strips, and seventy five grams of broccoli which is cut
into small florets, so sort of your normal bite size amount.
Coriander and lime to serve if you want it, you don't have to, and also some
rice of some description, possibly jasmine rice.
Jasmine rice.
Jasmine rice.
Ooh.
Or sticky rice. Anything like that will work.
Okay, yep, good.
It's just quite rich, so you want something something with it so you're preheating the oven to 200 degrees C
or well it depends on what your oven is if you've got
I'm hitting the thing if you've got a fan assisted oven it's 180 degrees C
otherwise it's gas mark 6 or 200 degrees C
can you deep fat fry it? that's what I'm interested in no
my mate James he's got this amazing deep fat fryer.
And we heard about the chips.
Really nice chips.
Could you serve it with chips?
Could you have this?
Yes.
So you can have fish fingers with a piece of ginger stuck up them,
covered in paste,
served with chips.
In a bag.
Yeah.
With string tied around it.
And if I give this to a lady that I'm courting,
she'll just automatically want to engage in sexual congress with me.
Pretty much.
So let's let Hannah finish off the recipe, the cooking style.
And then you can take the piss.
So you've preheated your oven, just leave that and you want to fry your curry paste and the ginger which
you have grated up and peeled, don't put the skin in. Put it in the pan for about a minute,
don't put any oil in because the ginger and the paste should sort themselves out.
You then want to add the coconut cream and the stock and mix it all up.
And once it's mixed well, you want to put it in a jug and cool it slightly.
Just sort of leave it on the side.
Right, so whilst that's cooling, you then want to cut out two squares,
which are 36 or more centimetres along each side. Oh right, okay.
And two pieces of string which are...
Cut squares of what?
The parchment thing that we talked about.
Oh right, okay.
Sorry, I should have said...
36.
36 centimetres.
I would go a little bit... yes.
I would... well, the thing says 35.5, but that's a bit silly.
You might need a ruler for this.
When I did it, I went slightly bigger with the bag size,
because otherwise tying it can be a bit of a pain.
It depends how many fish fingers you have to put in the bag.
I mean, if you're hungry, I guess you want to go up to three, maybe.
Yeah.
You have to leave a space above the fish as well so you have to account for that
which is why you want quite a big sized bag.
Parchment thing.
Do you just pull the stock into this bag?
Yes. I'm getting there, I'm getting there.
Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
What you then need to do...
Okay, so you've cut out some cubes, some squares of parchment.
Yes, and you've cut two pieces of string, which are about 31 centimetres or more.
Okay.
Again, very precise.
Oh, God, it's so precise.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
You need a ruler.
Make sure you buy a ruler at Asda when you're buying all this.
Now what you need to do is you need to get your protractor out and your compass,
and you need to draw a 62 degree angle on the parchment.
This will allow you to calculate the trajectory of the fish as it is placed inside the bag.
I think it would be quite nice if you're doing this for two people, you could like put people's
names on the bag.
No you can't.
I think that would be a nice touch.
Yeah.
It burns.
You could like decorate it with art.
You could draw like a willy on it
You don't really want to be doing anything with the bags
How do we make the bags?
Sorry, I haven't really understood that part
Yes, okay
Stop talking then
You get a bowl
Two bowls
Two cereal bowls
And you place the parchment In each of the bowls and push down
gently so you basically got a bowl that's lined with paper okay then what you do with that is you
cut your fish or fish fingers into it says here four pieces for the one fillet, so cut a fish finger in half, maybe.
Oh my god.
Have you got any potato waffles?
Can you put like a half potato waffle in there
as well, just to pad it out?
Oh man.
Right, so you put that in, and then you fill the bowls
with the carrots, broccoli
and peppers, putting half in each, and then you fill the bowls with the carrots, broccoli and peppers,
putting half in each, and then you put the fish over the top of that,
and then you pour half of the liquid into each bowl.
Are these raw? Are these raw carrots and broccoli and peppers?
Yeah, it all cooks.
This is the beauty of it, it will all come out cooked.
So you pop in your fish fingers first, then you pop in your raw veg into this bowl.
No, no, no.
You put the veg in, then you put the fish on top of that.
Oh, right.
Okay, okay.
Sorry.
Your frozen fish fingers, obviously.
Yes.
Okay.
Yes.
And then you pour half of the liquid.
It's not...
I don't think it's that easy to cut a frozen fish finger in half.
You might have to use some...
You can snap it.
Some, like, hedge...
What are they called?
Wire cutters. If you have any of those. A chainsaw. Use can snap it. Some, like, hedge... What are they called? Wire cutters?
If you have any of those.
A chainsaw. Use a chainsaw.
Okay, yes.
Do it in style.
Or just a knife, you know.
They're only little things.
That's what she said.
And then you pour the liquid on it.
Half of the liquid in each bowl.
Okay.
Because the idea is it steams everything with the liquid and you get a nice
concentrated liquid at the end. That's the sauce instead of just cream with shit in it.
Okay, so you've got your veg, your fish fingers and then you sort of concentrate the sauce
bosh on the top. Yes. What you then need to do is you take the corners of the baking parchment and basically make it into a parcel.
But you need to make sure that you've got about two and a half centimetres above the fish that's just basically space.
Because it needs it for the steam to get out and stuff.
So explain to me this parcel thing.
So we've got our parchment in the bowl.
We put the other piece of parchment over it, do we? And then we we've got our parchment in the bowl.
We put the other piece of parchment over it do we? And then we sort of just what, fold it over the bowl as well?
No! Oh god. No, you have one piece of parchment in one bowl.
You have another bowl with another piece in, and you've like pressed them in so all the stuff is on top of this parchment.
And you then like take the corners that are sticking out and tie them together.
So you've got a bag sitting in a bowl, basically.
With another bowl on top of it?
No, there's no other bowl.
What?
You've got two bowls with two bags.
What do you mean there's two bowls with two bags?
So you've got four pieces of parchment?
What? Oh, what? No.
No, two pieces of parchment.
So what you're saying is you get the piece of parchment that's in the bowl,
and you tie the four corners together at the top, tightly.
Like a stork's package.
Like a package coming from the stork.
You know what I mean?
Yes.
Yeah.
But you want to leave a tiny...
You want to leave a tiny little hole so that steam can escape.
Okay, so you don't want to tie it up too tight.
But I guess if you're doing it like that, you can't really steam can escape. So you don't want to tie it up too tight. But I guess if you're doing it like that, you can't really tie it up.
But you don't want to tie it up too loose.
Not too loose, not too tight. Okay.
Couldn't you just tie it up really tight and make a tiny
little hole in the bag?
That's probably what I'd do.
No, because the bag will splinter and break.
Because under high heat,
the barking parchment,
the baking parchment, it like shatters so the top
bits that are quite burnt will like shatter off which is why you can serve it at the table in the
bag but it's a bit iffy because you don't want bag in your food do you uh well that depends okay
well i mean thanks hannah i i mean i I mean, the idea of this segment was really so we could give Yognauts a simple but effective recipe to try on their own and report back.
So if anyone has managed to follow this recipe and has a chance to give it a go, good luck and get back to us.
Yogscast
at gmail.com
Yeah, we want to hear from you.
You do realise
that they haven't got
a cooking time yet
so it's not actually cooked.
Oh.
How long do you pop them
in the oven for?
You put them in
for 15 to 20 minutes.
15 to 20 minutes
in the bag.
You take the bag out,
what, you put it on a plate?
Yes.
I assume we'll just leave it in the microwave instead.
No.
God, no. It relies on steaming,
so no.
Yeah, you can do that in the microwave.
I've done it plenty of times.
Okay, guys.
We want pics of your failed attempts,
or good attempts.
Oh, God, pictures of it would be incredible.
I'll do a picture of mine.
We would like pictures of...
I've got to buy some broccoli and some peppers,
but I will do one, and I'll put it on Twitter.
Hello, you are listening to the Yogpod. Hello?
So I'm just looking through the Yogscast email, because I think, I hate the fact that this show is turning into stuff that's just sent by the fans, but there's such a lot of stuff they've sent this last time
that I kind of have to...
It's not like we've got anything else to talk about, is it?
No.
We get some really good quality emails, don't we?
Oh, yeah.
We've got some amazing, amazing correspondence over the months.
There was that guy who said that he wanks over us 16 hours a day.
There's that person whose brother put a sheet over him and scared him.
Oh yeah, Eric Frost.
All good stuff.
He emailed again, although you told him not to, didn't you?
Oh God.
Remember? You said never email again.
I think I did. Yeah, I banned him.
He's emailed us again.
I banned him from the show.
Because you banned him because you'd beaten up his little brother,
and now he's trying to sort of make up excuses.
So he said, I only stated that he was driven to the hospital.
I did not state that it was my fault that he got beaten up so bad.
He's saying he tripped over and twisted his ankle and had to go to the hospital.
What did he trip over?
His brother's foot or something?
At the top of the stairs?
That black eye, you know,
came when he fell down the stairs, yeah.
Walked into a door.
That's the old one.
Sounds like a sort of battered wife sort of story.
In Yodpod 21, you thanked Joris for his donation.
I was listening to it
as me and him were doing a
ZG together and
heard his name come up.
I was annoyed that my name wasn't mentioned
because it was me that introduced him
to your awesome videos way back in December.
So if it wasn't for me,
you wouldn't have had that donation.
How the fuck am I supposed to know that?
How am I supposed to know
that? The fucking automated
email comes through to me saying that
someone's donated. It doesn't say
oh, you know, his mate told
him to do this or whatever.
I mean, I can't take the blame
for that. I cannot take the blame for that.
Fuck you. What's his name again?
It's in my comment. It's this. What? What kind of a name is that?
I know, I don't know how to pronounce it either. Bart Hidgemans. Fuck you Bart Hidgemans.
Hidgemans. Is he Dutch? I think so.
He might be Dutch or something. I mean what the fuck is it with people with
weird names emailing us? This one's... I mean these things I'm getting these...
Loads of Europeans listen to us. It's a good thing. This guy... They
love us, Europeans. Send me... And I love them. Apart from Bart Hidgemans. Fuck you,
I don't like you. This guy sent... I like your friend, who gave us money, but I don't
like you. Joris. I hope the raptor never drops in Zul'Gurub. Sorry, go on. This guy called Otar Gislason has sent me about a three-page email explaining evolution to me.
Otar Gislason has sent you a three-page email about evolution.
Pretty much.
Does he make any analogies to balloons? No, he's just sort of
He's drawn lots of diagrams
Using equal signs
And arrows and square brackets
And things
He's got a picture of a dinosaur
And then an equal sign
And then there's a picture of a man
Like a little arrow
Yeah, so I mean he's
I'm not really sure I can read through all this.
No, I'd rather you didn't.
The first slide says, evolution happens incredibly slowly and gradually.
And that's pretty much how his email goes as well.
Oh dear.
Well, I mean, it's good that people want to email us and that they're doing so.
I just wish the quality of the emails was somewhat better.
Other people have emailed us with an absolutely, like, the most lazy description of evolution you could possibly think of.
So those were the good emails that you said previously.
Some people have done the opposite.
We've got the good ones out of the way.
It's like this guy called Connor Fairbairn says, what happens
is, when genes are copied
to make a child of species,
errors are made.
These can be beneficial
so the species carries on.
That's how it ties in.
That's pretty...
That's not a bad description.
It sums it up quite nicely.
It's not done a bad job there, Connor. It's not bad. It's better a bad description. You know, it sums it up quite nicely. It's not done a bad job there, Connor.
It's not bad.
It's better than three pages.
Jesus Christ. Who's going to read
three pages about evolution?
I know.
A biologist
probably would.
Yeah, Richard Dawkins.
What did we actually ask people
to email us about?
I forget.
Thanksgiving? Have we got any emails about Thanksgiving?
When is Thanksgiving?
What is it all about? What's going on?
There's nobody telling us about this.
We've got American listeners, don't we?
Why aren't they contacting us?
At yogscast at gmail dot com.
Come on, you lazy sacks of shit.
Put down that double Big Mac
and type an email.
Okay, that's not a great
exercise regime.
No.
You probably eat at the same time
to be honest. I mean, I do
sometimes.
A couple of jaffas on the go in my mouth
as I'm emailing.
This guy sent me
an email
which is like
really, really long.
If you're going to send emails to the Yogpod
guys, don't just have
a huge block of text that
takes up my entire screen
because there's no way
I'm going to be able to extract
what is interesting out of this
I mean, should I just start
reading it and see if I can cut it
if it's total shit?
Well, if people want to email us
and they want the emails to be read out
they should keep the emails to the point
they should keep them short and concise
it's like when
you're writing letters to a newspaper well i mean okay section which i imagine nobody who listens
to this podcast has ever done okay so so i don't even know why i mentioned that the title of this
completely insane letter is thanksgiving plus killing plus late ghost stories and other stuff
that's not important but it is important
that you read out all of this or else i will unsubscribe not really but it will make me happy
if you read all of it so that's the title right oh my god and then the actual email goes you wanted
to know what thanksgiving is so i will tell you thanksgiving is giving thanks to native americans
for teaching the pilgrims how to grow corn and hunt and all that jazz before the winter because Really?
Apparently.
So, the pilgrims...
Also, you were talking about...
No, no, hang on.
The pilgrims that came over to America,
none of them knew how to grow crops or hunt.
They were just completely...
Did they not plan for what would
happen when they got there?
They were like, oh god, what are we going to do?
Is there a Tesco
somewhere for Sainsbury's?
Oh fuck.
Well, I don't know. Maybe they just
had an unexpectedly
difficult time or something.
I don't know.
You can imagine a bunch
of middle class church going people
from middle England just
getting into a boat and going off to America.
They wouldn't have the first clue about
having to be self sufficient, would they?
Most people in the old
good old days. Maybe that's
right. That's what they were called, the old
good old days. They knew how to do stuff's what they were called, ye old good old days.
They knew how to do stuff.
They actually had
skills that they
would use in their
daily lives.
They kept chickens
outside.
Yeah, they kept
chickens, that's a
good skill to have,
keeping chickens.
And they killed
them.
They knew how to
kill their own
food.
They knew where
their food came
from.
Okay.
It's not as though
it's...
Oh, sorry, go on.
Sorry.
No, go on, no, go on.
I was just going to read
the next part of this
rambling email.
Oh, we've got to get
through this, actually,
so we should keep
the interruptions down,
otherwise this is going
to be the entire
fucking podcast.
Okay.
It's going to be an hour
of you reading this
one email.
Also, you were talking
about killing people,
and I thought if you
got a box, filled it
with water, stuck a
metal rod in it,
then froze it so you
had an ice mallet,
and whack him over the head with it,
and then feed the body to some hungry wild animals like a bear or something,
that just ends.
It's a full stop.
So I suppose...
Wow.
So I suppose that's...
I don't think...
We shouldn't be rude to him.
If he's thinking up kinds of schemes like that,
we shouldn't be too unkind
Because otherwise
You know
Your back's turned
And you get a whack on the head
By a large block of ice
And Harry's going to lift that
That'd be quite heavy
Wouldn't it
Well yeah
But I suppose
It's just a large lollipop
That he's banging people
Over the head with
I also wanted to share
A ghost story I experienced
When I was four
It's too late
Halloween's gone
It's gone Halloween's gone We can experienced when I was four. It's too late. Halloween's gone. It's gone.
Halloween's gone. We can't do any more ghost
stories. It's over.
I just let me get through this.
Unless it's about Christmas. If it's a
Christmas ghost, I'll allow that.
But if it's a non-Christmas
ghost, or non-Thanksgiving
ghost, I'm not interested.
We'll have to wait until February for the next
Halloween Yoggpod special
Spectacular
I was
A while later I woke up
And saw all these jacket boxes
Baxes
He saw what?
A while later I
I had fucked up the reading
What?
He saw what?
Jacket boxes.
I read it wrong.
Hang on, let me start again.
Jacket boxes.
A while later I woke up and saw all these jack in the boxes.
He saw all these jack in the boxes floating in the air,
but I think it was because I was tripping on Robo-tussin.
Robi-tussin.
What the fuck is that?
No idea.
We shouldn't be surprised that he's medicated.
Oh, hang on.
It's a cold and cough medicine.
For children, I think.
A children's cough medicine.
He was high on it.
That's what Keith Chegwin used to drink night nurse
because he used to be an alcoholic and uh he wasn't allowed any alcohol um you know his wife
wouldn't let any in the house and they'd search for it and pour it all down the drain so he used
to go to the chemists and buy night nurse and get drunk on it. Anyway, that's a tangent.
So this weird little man,
this weird little Yognor,
he's a child, he's high
on cough syrup, and he's
looking at a whole load of Jack in the Boxes.
Floating in the air.
Floating? What?
So he was like, oh,
yeah, they were floating in the air.
He was like hallucinating, obviously.
He also had this recurring dream where I walked into a restaurant that wasn't really a restaurant,
but it was actually a big half pipe like you skateboard on.
Have you ever skateboarded on a half pipe, Simon?
Yeah, I have actually.
I've surfed a bit too.
Done some parasailing, a bit of hang gliding, you know. Really? Yeah, where do you think I've beened a bit too Have you? Dab some Done some parasailing A bit of hang gliding, you know
Really?
Yeah, where do you think I've been the last week?
I would wake up and it would be like
When you use your slowdown power in fear
What?
I'm not quite sure what that means
It's like bullet time or something
From the Matrix
Yeah, so you'd wake up and you'd have like
Bullet time
Oh, that's cool Well, I'm pretty hyper or something from the Matrix. Yeah, so you'd wake up and you'd have, like, bullet time. Do-do. Do-do.
Oh, that's cool.
Well, I'm pretty hyper because I just had a bunch of sugar,
and that's why this email is so long.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Well, it's getting late where I am, so I'm going to end it here.
Okay.
So he's taking him so long to write the email that...
It's his bedtime.
How old is he
he's like
he takes cough syrup
he hallucinates
Jack in the boxes
he skates
and he's
he's eaten lots of sugar
and it's his bedtime
what the fuck
he's got like
11 year olds
emailing us
oh man
oh god
okay
this guy
what was his name
the guy who just emailed us
all that crap?
Who's that?
Pew, pew, pew, pew.
Thank you, pew, pew, pew,

Banned.
Fuck off.

MySpace page

like remixes.
You'll have to play one.

Let me make it to you.
Hang on.
Are they terrible?
Please tell me they're terrible.
They haven't had a lot
of plays, have they?
The one I'm listening to has got 32 plays.
Oh my god, what the hell?
This is the kind of music that you like and you put on our YouTube videos.
Should use this for the next one.
Could you do a professional DJ style like intro to what you know to like a band
you know.
You're listening to the Yoggpod Mix, here we have now Tronic with Curb playing now Yoggpod
style listening.
How's that?
That was fantastic!
Oh yeah!
It's like a sort of 16-bit trans tune. I like it man, I like this. Don't you like this?
I think it's brilliant, we should play it during the show.
Definitely play this.
I've edited this into the background, so this will be playing behind us now.
We are playing it. Sorry if you forgot, you just edit things into it.
We're listening to it now! Yeah! Oh it's really good!
We're like rocking out.
See now I've stopped it, so i'm not actually listening to it
