So,
do we have any celebrity guests
on this week or anything? Is there anyone
scheduled? Well, Warwick is
still missing. He's MIA.
I'm
pretty worried about him.
I've put up posters
on
notice boards and I've put an posters on notice boards and
I've put an ad out
in the Metro newspaper
in London town
asking if anyone had seen him
the only picture I had of Warwick Davis
was him in the role of the
leprechaun
but I'm hoping it's a good enough likeness
that we'll get some
sort of response and people get in contact with me if they find him because you know i don't know
how he he'll cope on his own he's only a little fella so we've got no warwick um but in his stead, we have... You're not going to believe this, Lewis.
No.
We have the fabled actor, raconteur, television personality, film star...
Brian Blessed is here, ladies and gentlemen.
Really?
Round of applause.
Holy crap.
Woohoo!
Yay! I can't really clap
because I have to press this button when I turn my mic on.
But clap, yay.
Clap, clap.
Hello! Is that Lewis
there? Yes, it is.
Very nice to have you on the show,
Brian. It's very good
to hear your voice. It's lovely to be
here.
Well, I must admit, we hadn't really planned on having you here.
But we have got some questions for dwarves.
Would you be willing to answer those?
I'm willing to give it a go, Lewis.
I'm up for anything, you know me.
First question.
These are some questions sent in by Matt
Summers. When and how did you
meet Simon? I mean, how did you
end up coming on this show?
I met him in Tesco
last night in the biscuit aisle.
Okay.
Were you
purchasing biscuits yourself,
or were they for a friend?
What a fucking weird question.
What biscuits were you purchasing, Brian?
He's quite pensive, he's giving this question some thought.
They were for my daughter, Rosalind!
Right.
He's buying them for his daughter.
Yeah.
Has she got a beard like yours as well, Brian?
No!
No.
No.
He hasn't.
So Brian, what's your current acting status?
Any TVs or movie shows in the works?
Movie shows.
Movie shows?
Yeah. It's a movie show.
Any TVs or movie shows? I'm on
stage in the London town.
Uh-huh.
What are you... Are you in a
play or something,
Brian? It's a
musical. Right.
It's a musical.
It's very interesting.
So you're singing, are you?
I didn't know.
I didn't know you sang.
I didn't know you could sing.
I don't sing!
I dance!
He dances.
That's lovely.
So you've got all these questions for dwarves, and we haven't got a dwarf on this week.
Because Brian Blessed, he is quite a tall man.
I'm sure if you looked at his Wikipedia article, Lewis,
you could tell how old he is.
Well, I won't ask that.
Brian, Brian, how do magnets work?
It's magic!
Okay.
What would be your ideal woman?
I guess you're married.
You must be married.
What's your wife like?
Is that very personal?
You really want to ask?
What's he going to say to that?
What's your wife like?
She's horrible!
I mean, what?
Brian, you can't say that
oh my god
she's a right battle axe
oh my god
what if she's listening to this
oh my god
hello and welcome to
TTT Channel Yorkport, this is the Yorkport Yorkport, this is the Yorkport
Yorkport, Yorkport
Yorkport, Yorkport
This is the Yorkport
So of course Brian Blessed, he's most famous for playing the role of Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies.
What?
That's what he's famous for, really, isn't it?
That was Robert Carl...
Robert Carlisle.
Coltrane.
Robert Carlisle played the role.
What is Brian Blessed most famous for?
I think Brian Blessed, he's most famous for being Brian Blessed.
Isn't that right?
Yes!
Brian Blessed!
I'm Brian Blessed!
Brian Blessed is an English actor and adventurer.
He is known for his loud, booming voice and hearty, king-sized portrayals.
Would you say that was accurate?
Yes! I wrote the article on Wikipedia about myself.
I've just found out your wife's name. It's Hildegard.
That's a very...
That's what I sort of expected.
Terrible name for a terrible woman!
Okay.
Oh my god. Sorry to bring that up.
Oh dear.
Hmm.
Is there anything else you want to ask him?
Because he's quite busy.
Hold on.
He's not just going to hang around here.
I think he's gotten a bit bored.
He's wandered off down to the kitchen.
Oh.
Brian, what are you doing down there?
I'm making a jam sandwich!
Oh, he's making a sandwich.
Can you hear that?
Yeah, yeah.
He is quite loud.
I mean, my God.
I think most of London can hear him.
God, I wonder what he's like in bed.
Do you think he's that noisy?
Oh, God.
That's right, Hildegard!
Keep doing that! Oh, God. That's right, Hildegard! Keep doing that!
Oh, God.
That was a bit of pre-recorded footage of Brian Blessed.
I've been bugging his house.
He's come back now.
He's got his jam sandwich.
He's quite happy.
Right, OK.
I've got a question for you.
Brian, you've got a bit of jam.
You've got a bit of jam in your beard there, mate.
You might want to just...
So have you got anything to ask him
whilst he nibbles on his jam sandwich?
Jake Railton asks,
I was having this argument with my friend
whilst eating a full English breakfast.
He noticed that I had eaten all the white stuff
around the egg, but not the yolk.
I usually save it till last.
I want to know how you eat your eggs.
Right.
So we had a guy email in right now
asking Brian Blessed a question about how he eats his eggs.
Yeah, yeah.
So Brian, how do you eat your eggs?
Scrambled!
I can believe that.
I can believe that. I can believe that.
How do you... I mean, how do you scramble them?
You know, do you add a bit of milk, a bit of cream, or butter or anything?
I JUST SHOUTED THEM!
Oh, God.
This is gonna be awful, isn't it?
This is gonna to be awful isn't it? This is going to be so bad!
Hello, this is Kenny Baker and I listen to the Yunkbot
That is just weird
You want to say, this is Kenny Baker and then what he's famous for
Hello, this is Kenny Baker.
I'm famous for being a dwarf, and I listen...
No.
Hello.
God, I can't do it now.
Hello, this is Kenny Baker,
and I'm famous for being the dwarf
Who was inside of R2-D2
In a Star Wars franchise of movies
And I listen to the Ox-Pod
I've got a series of questions
That I can ask you
You have to
You have to have your iTunes up
Okay
Or your music program of choice.
Right, go on then.
And you have shuffle or randomize on.
And the answers to each of the questions are the titles of the track that come up.
Okay.
So, have you got your iTunes ready and on standby? Ready to go? Give me a second. Ready. Okay. So, have you got your iTunes ready
and on standby?
Yes.
Ready to go?
Give me a second.
Ready?
Okay.
I have 3,460 items.
Welp.
That's an awful lot of illegal music
you've got on your computer there, Lewis.
I've not got a lot of music, though.
A lot of it is audio books
Well that's fine then
Because those things are a public domain
Go on then
Okay
Question one
If someone says
Is this okay
You say
I say
The adventure of the Noble Bachelor.
Wow.
That doesn't really make any sense at all.
Okay.
So, you go to the next song,
and the question is,
how would you describe yourself?
Before our very eyes.
Wow.
That's deep, man.
That's deep.
Okay.
How about...
Yeah, that is pretty deep. What do you like in a girl?
Geoffrey Miller
Interview 8
What?
What?
Fuck
Okay
Geoffrey Miller Interview 8
Is what you like in a girl
That's um
Yeah
This is why you will die alone what you like in a girl. That's, um... Yeah.
This is why you will die alone.
There aren't enough girls out there that have enough, um...
You know, they don't have an awful lot of
Geoffrey Miller,
Interview 8 in them.
Okay, question four. How do you feel today?
Uh, hypnotic
tango.
Oh, that's good.
What's your motto?
Now this should hopefully work.
E-0-B-E-A-6-C-C-E-3-1-B-5-6-6-B-8-4-6-F-0-A-E-D-4-B-A-8-E-DBA8ED05.mp3.
Are you a robot or something?
I think that's one of the ones you sent me.
It's hexadecimal.
That's that woman who says weird stuff.
What?
She goes like,
You are listening to the Yoggpug.
Do you remember?
Oh, God.
Oh, God, that.
Yeah, yeah.
Hi, I'm Katie Perry from Hot and Cold,
and you're listening to The Young Pod.
It's like a man's voice, though.
I'll play it. I'll play it on The Young Pod.
Oh, God. We've got some new liners that people will be able to hear. That'll be nice.
Oh, man.
Okay, so, we're up to question seven.
What do your friends think of you?
The End, by Pearl Jam.
The End.
Your friends think The End when they look at you.
What do you think of your parents?
Heaven.
Top 100 chance.
You look at your parents and you think Heaven.
Won't be long, they'll be up there.
Hopefully.
What is 2 plus 2?
Thunder in my there. Hopefully. What is two plus two? Thunder in my heart.
Okay.
Okay.
It's probably...
It's quite unlikely that you would have gotten that question right.
It would have been good if you...
If you had a song by the Four Tops
as the result of that one.
I don't have any of that.
No. Okay. What do you think of me? Super Mario World Monstrous Turtles.
Well, thanks, pal. Thanks, pal. Likewise to you too buddy Oh man
What do you think of
Your secret crush
I'm not saying who it is
You raise me up
By Westlife
Why is that on there
That's beautiful
That's beautiful
You've got every number one
Yeah I've got every UK number one.
It's double-edged 2005.
You raised me up.
You don't have to sing it.
Please don't.
Please don't.
I'd rather you didn't.
Okay.
Okay, question 13.
What is your life story?
Uh, hit me with your rhythm stick.
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
Bit of the injury and the blockheads. Brilliant. Brilliant. A bit of Ian Drury and the Blockheads.
Correct. Wow.
Okay, what do you think of when you
see the person
you have a crush on?
It's turning into a music quiz.
When you lay your eyes upon them, what pops into
your head?
The Problem of Thorbridge
by Arthur Conan Doyle. There we we go do you never do you not
think that you should maybe create subfolders or playlists and have the music in one playlist
and have audiobooks under another one no you know wouldn't that just make it easier i mean what
happens if you just want to listen to random music? Are you listening to Westlife and then all of a sudden
you have Harry Potter
that comes on.
That's me doing Stephen Fry.
Harry Potter
and the man
with the golden gun.
You've never read Harry Potter,
have you? Good God.
Having not read Harry Potter,
I'd love you to do a little impression
of what you think
Harry Potter sounds like
as an audiobook.
Harry Potter turned to Hermione,
his cheeks aflush,
and said,
Hermione,
what does it mean when my
willy gets hard?
Hermione, Hermione's What does it mean when my willy gets hard? Oh, God.
Hermione.
Hermione's jaw dropped to the floor as she turned to Harry and said,
Are you all right?
Harry, it's natural.
It's nothing to be afraid of.
Come here.
Give me a kiss.
Mwah.
Mwah kiss Goodness me
Oh god this is horrible
Let's move on with the quiz please
Do you know that Harry and Hermione don't
Like have any kind of relationship
In Harry Potter
No but they
No they have to be
I don't want to spoil it for you
Anyone that's listening
We just did I can't want to spoil it for you, anyone that's listening. We just did.
I didn't tell you who.
I can't believe you've never read Harry Potter or watched the films.
The films are terrible, but the books are great.
I haven't read all the fucking Mr. Men books.
So, you know, am I missing out on that as well?
Yeah, but no, you're not.
You're not.
But the thing is, Mr. Men books are designed for under fives.
Not much, bitch. And Harry Harry Potter is They're for adults
They're an adult book
That's why it's set in a school of wizardry
Harry Potter is aimed
Harry Potter is aimed at the same audience as Doctor Who
And you love Doctor Who
You're a self confessed lover of Doctor Who
Yeah I love Doctor Who but it makes me very angry.
Do you know what I'd be like
if I was watching
or reading Harry Potter?
I'd just go fucking apeshit.
I'd go,
you know, that's bullshit.
Harry would never
fucking do that.
Why would he,
why would he do that?
That's ridiculous.
Oh, Voldemort,
just fucking kill him.
Just fucking kill him.
He does.
Because that's how I talk.
I can't do an impression of myself.
Harry Potter is very good.
I don't give a shit.
Come on, we've got a few questions left
and we're done with this quiz, right?
What will you dance to at your wedding?
Love Game by Lady Gaga.
Okay, what is your biggest fear?
Overcome.
Your biggest fear is to...
Overcome.
To be overcome.
Nice.
What's your biggest secret?
Shh, it's a secret.
Down with the sickness.
Come on, down with the sickness.
Wah-ah-ah-ah.
The last one doesn't really make much sense, but it's...
OK, let's change it.
What do you make of this quiz?
Ever long.
Ever long. There we go. It was ever long.
Ever long by fever.
And that wraps up this terrible section, which is completely unusable. Everlong by Fever and that wraps up
this
terrible section
which is completely
unusable
and is just
I don't know
sorry
well done
got the wrong band there
right
oh god that was terrible
fucking hell
hello
I'm Tina Barrett
from S Club 7
and I listened to the Yodpod.
If any listeners want to go to it, the URL is Oh God, don't read all this out. It's ridiculously long.
d-a-r-r-y-n-r-e-e-d-s dot tripod.com slash s-club-7-secrets.html So what is this? Is it some sort of a bizarre conspiracy site? hyphen club hyphen seven hyphen secrets dot html
So what is this? Is it some sort of a bizarre
conspiracy site?
It's the work of a nutter
of a deranged man
probably a
yognaut
just hazarding a guess with that
Since the dawn of man
true evil had surrounded us,
lurking in the darkness like a dark lurking thing,
ready to pounce on any poor unsuspecting innocent fool
who stumbled blindly into its path.
The lord and master of this domain goes by many names.
Beelzebub, the Dark Lord, the Fallen One,
Santa, and of course
the Beast.
But today, as we fast approach
the 20th century evil,
has taken over.
What do you mean, we fast approach the 20th century?
Was this website written before?
Yeah, I think this is quite an old website.
This website is at least 11 years old.
10 years ago. See, this is ridiculous an old website. This website is at least 11 years old. 10 years ago.
See, this is ridiculous.
This shows that it is just a paranoid conspiracy nut doing it.
Okay.
They think that there are hidden messages in the S Club 7 songs
that when you play them backwards reveal something secret.
Right.
Which is just utterly, utterly ridiculous.
Because no one ever does that.
which is just utterly, utterly ridiculous.
Because no one ever does that.
But today, as we fast approach the 20th century,
evil has taken not one, but seven new names. And lo, they be Tina, John, Paul, Hannah, Bradley, Rachel, Joe.
Dun-dun-dun. Hannah Bradley Rachel Joe dun dun dun
so basically
this guy
seems to think
that S Club
are
they think that the S
stands for Satan
and he goes through
the lyrics
Satan Club 7
what does it stand for
actually
Satan Club 7
Mary Whitehouse
it says
Mary Whitehouse says as the resident morality
guardian for CIB PP all I have to say
regarding the s club seven is quite
simply fuck them fuck them right in the
ear and you can fucking well quote me on Oh hello I'm Tina Barrett formerly of S Club 7 I still have yet to release my my debut solo album
because it's not really going very well but um in the meanwhile I like to listen to the Yoggpod oh it's
really good
Lewis and Simon are really
amazing goodbye
goodbye
I don't know why
I said goodbye there
I just
felt like it was polite
this week
me and Simon are looking forward to the new Doctor Who coming out.
I don't know if this is a big deal to anyone beyond the UK, but we've been sort of spammed with...
Yeah, they're promoting it heavily.
I mean, do you reckon people beyond England really know about Doctor Who?
Is it popular in America or Europe? It's being shown on
BBC America
like a week later or something.
Doctor Who's one of these things that
is sort of a very British tradition
I suppose in a way.
It's something we
have close to our heart.
It's a long running British TV show
that is set mostly in Britain
or you know All the actors
are British and
the Doctor's a very British character.
It's a very BBC programme.
It was all very...
It was like a family but slightly scary
sci-fi show.
I mean, did you ever watch any of the old ones?
Yeah.
I mean, the only one I really remember
is from... Oh, God. I mean, the only one I really remember is from, um...
Oh, God. I watched pretty much all
of the Sylvester McCoy ones, and he was
a bad doctor. So it
kind of left a... What do you mean, a bad doctor?
Like a sour taste in my mouth.
He was pretty
terrible at playing Doctor Who.
Well, every series
took parts from their
individual time. I mean, like, during the 70s and 80s, they were slightly different.
And it's been through so many incarnations.
I really can't watch the old ones, though.
I mean, one time, I remember I was living in a student house.
And we got delivered to the door one day a brown sort of package.
It was just addressed to the house.
sort of package.
It was just addressed to the house.
And it contained about ten
VHS tapes
containing really old
Doctor Who films
and series of TV shows.
Weird.
It was really weird.
Because obviously none of the girls had ordered it.
They all just assumed I'd bought it.
And so I just sold it on eBay.
Sold them on eBay. I didn't watch them.
Because I didn't really have a VHS player.
But I might have done if I had.
Isn't that theft? What?
You sold
something that didn't belong to you.
There could have been someone, you know,
desperately looking for them.
It got delivered to the wrong address.
And you're profiting off of it.
Handed them in to the police.
Well, anyway, I mean, that's...
I mean, I'm a fan of Doctor Who.
And there was one time when I was
about 16 in London
and one of the doctors was doing
a lecture, Tom Baker,
on some sort of science my god science of doctor who or
something and i attended that and like i met him and had a chat with him as well which was
quite cool ah so i've actually met one of the doctors which is kind of cool um it doesn't
mean he's my favorite one because everyone sort of has a favorite doctor, don't they? He's most people's favourite Doctor Who.
He's a nice guy, Tom Baker.
Like the big blustering Englishman.
I think he's cut from the same cloth as Brian Blessed.
They're from that same kind of old school...
Yeah.
Just crazy people.
Who's your favourite then?
Oh God, I don't know, really.
The thing is, people's opinion of the Doctor is completely decided by which Doctor they watch the most of.
And we've had Tenant for so long.
We had Tenant for so long we had Tenant for so long
and I've watched every single episode
of Tenant
and I've watched it recently
so when I think of the Doctor
I think of David Tenant now
it's just ingrained in me
and this is why it's going to be pretty weird
to have a new guy take over
because everyone just thinks Doctor Who, oh David Tenant And this is why it's going to be pretty weird to have a new guy take over.
Because everyone just thinks, Doctor Who, oh, David Tennant.
They don't think of it as the character, the person who changes from time to time into someone else.
I think you're wrong. I think a lot of people do realise it's the character.
And I mean, you saw the same thing happen when Christopher Eccleston did it for a year and then changed over to David Tennant I mean people were like oh I like Christopher Eccleston I'm not sure I'm gonna
like anyone else but actually you know people people got to like him quite quickly and I think
the same thing will probably happen I mean I'm predicting that you'll actually in you know three
weeks time after you've watched a few episodes you'll say to me yeah it's okay it's nothing great but he's okay you're not too
yeah disappointed i guess he does look to be i mean the thing is at its heart dr who's a kids tv
show yeah so there's always going to be daft things happening in it and it's you know they
know their audience very well and oh god it's going to be ridiculous isn't it
there's just going to be utterly ridiculous things
going on and I'm going to be watching it
and I'm going to get angry
and elsewhere in the country
there's going to be all these young kids watching it
and going yay
yeah
and I'm going to be going you son of a bitch
what are you doing
why would he act like that?
What's going on? Oh no, look at those special
effects. Oh Jesus
Christ, that monster's ridiculous.
And all the kids will be going, yay!
Yay!
This is the best TV show ever,
mummy! Fuck off!
Says J.K.
Yay! The thing is...
Are you lagging, or is, like...
I mean, is it your internet connection, or is it your brain?
My brain's lagging.
I'm not sure what's going on.
I'd rather have a bowl of...
See, the thing is
You're going to enjoy
Watching these Doctor Who
Episodes with this guy
I predict that you're
Going to enjoy them
And you're going to
Come onto vent
And you're going to
Complain about them
Yeah
Exactly
I'm going to enjoy
Watching it
That experience
That like hour
Of watching it
And then immediately
Afterwards
I'm going to think
That was the biggest
Pile of shit ever
Even though during it
I'm probably going to be
Like clapping at the television You'll kid yay yay yay oh i love you dr leaves oh
and then i'll turn off the telly and i'll go well that was fucking
shite i'll just rant about it to people on the internet. I'll post on forums saying, you know, lol, what
a joke, worst Doctor
ever.
Except it's how British teenagers
talk these days.
So also,
in the related,
relatively related news, science
kind of news, the
Large Hadron Collider hasn't destroyed the world.
Breaking news.
World's still here.
Yeah.
It was a load of bollocks about this whole thing.
It's like, do you know what this reminds me of?
It reminds me of the times before trains.
And when people were getting on the first trains that would go above 50 miles per hour,
people thought that if you rode,
if a human rode above 50 miles per hour,
the human body wouldn't be able to take it
and it would just collapse and implode and stuff.
It's like people, first of all,
didn't know whether humans would be able to go into space
and go into zero gravity
when they were sending up the first satellites
because they thought that,
you know, it might not be possible,
you know, with no gravity,
you might not be able to swallow
properly, or you might not be able to do
all this stuff. You may not be able to swallow
properly. They probably had
buffet cars from the very start
on those trains,
and people had a cup of tea in front
of them, and they were just watching the world whiz by
and they were worried that they wouldn't be able to
swallow the tea
somehow, like the g-force of moving
no no no, that's the one, that's about
space though, but you know, people were
worried about it, and obviously they had to
send a few trains out
you know, with brave sort of
pilots, you know
to test if you could go at 50 miles per hour successfully, you know.
And I think there was a bit of sort of suggestion that it wasn't safe,
you know, at the time.
You know, people weren't supposed to go that fast.
It's kind of like that, but modern version, you know.
Although physicists have shown that in all
of these studies and examples that
there's no chance of a black
hole forming.
Ignorant people like to
cut and run with
this kind of sensationalist stuff.
Well, there's no chance
of a black hole just magically
appearing. So I don't think there was any danger in any case
well if people are fucking around with subatomic particles
you can't really predict what the hell's going to happen
if they knew what was going to happen
they wouldn't have run the experiment in the first place
because the whole point of running the experiment
is to see what happens
well but even so
like
the sort of things they're doing
are not measured to be sufficient to produce a stable black hole.
Well, no, I mean, the issue is that there could be some sort of chain reaction started,
and then a tiny, tiny microscopic black hole is formed,
and then it just sucks in matter and just grows,
and then the Earth is gone, and then the solar system's gone,
and then basically the whole universe is just a singularity.
Which would be quite useful, because if you've ever had your dinner on your lap
and sat down in front of the telly and then realised that the remote is on the other side of the room,
if you're in a singularity, then that remote is actually part of you so you
don't have to put your dinner somewhere get up walk over get the remote then turn the telly over
but also the telly the dinner oh that is also already part of you yeah yeah the dinner's already
in your stomach so you don't have to eat it. Your stomach is already
there.
It's just all singularity.
The telly's in your stomach
as well, unfortunately.
A bit like a telly tubby.
Wow.
Must be awkward
for telly tubbies.
Time for telly tubbies.
Time for telly tubbies.
I mean, if you
want to watch something
on telly,
say, you know,
Doctor Who.
You want to watch Doctor Who
and you're a telly tubby. You can't watch it on yourself. You've got to get a friend, on telly, say, you know, Doctor Who. You want to watch Doctor Who and you're a telly tubby.
You can't watch it on yourself.
You've got to get a friend, another telly tubby, to watch it on their belly.
And it's just, you know, it's just inches above their groin.
And you're staring at it for an hour.
That's got to be a little bit awkward.
So they have to, like, sit in front of you as well.
And then they can watch what you've got on your telly.
Yeah.
I guess the problem is with the sound. You know, if you've both got
the sound on and you're not wearing headphones.
I guess you have to plug
a headphone jack. I don't know where the jack
would be.
Somewhere around the back.
Yeah.
So you've each got your headphones
plugged into the other person's
Headphone jack
You're sitting there
In front of each other
Watching
Yeah staring down
At each other's bellies
Navel gazing
So one of you's watching like
EastEnders
And the other one's watching
Bargain Hunt
Oh
It's a hard decision to make isn't it
Which one would you watch
EastEnders or Bargain Hunt?
I mean, that would just be a couple of Teletubbies.
I mean, what if there's like, you know,
seven or eight Teletubbies?
How would it work in that situation?
Would there be a chain?
Or would one of them just volunteer?
You're walking past it and it says, you know,
widescreen television, you know,
we've got the match on today.
And you walk in and it's just Teletubbies stapled to the wall.
Just everywhere.
Oh, I was thinking it would just be a really, really fat one.
No, there's hundreds of these Teletubbies just all stuck up on walls.
Are they dead, do you think?
They're still alive, but they're in a lot of pain.
They'd rather they were dead.
What kind of post-apocalyptic world have you just envisaged?
It's alright if you're not a Teletubby.
I mean, it's cool.
I mean, there's tellies everywhere.
Could you, like, surgically remove the telly from a Teletubby?
No, no.
It's part of the Teletubby.
And if you kill the Teletubby, then the TV doesn of the Teletubby And if you kill
The Teletubby
Then the TV
Doesn't work
So you've got to
Keep him alive
Right
Barely alive
Oh my god
You've got these
Starving Teletubbies
Where were we
By the way
I don't know
Teletubbies I think
What was before that
I've no idea
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter Just forget it't matter. Just forget it.
It's too late. Oh, your Large Hadron Collider, of course.
Oh, right.
Yeah. There's a really interesting
scientific thing. What is the
coldest place in
the universe?
Your heart.
No, it's actually
somewhere on Earth.
It's in a lab somewhere
where they've reduced the temperature
to a fraction of a Kelvin
above absolute zero.
Well, because space is actually
slightly warmer than absolute zero
because it is just, you know,
warmed by all the fusion that goes on sort of thing
very slightly so we can actually go colder than that on earth using refrigeration
where's the hottest place in the universe. It's cold, it's dark
in there. There's no room for any love or warmth. Actually, what do you mean? I love
you, man. I love a lot ofd Wood, who was in Dorian Gray.
Dorian Gray?
Well, I guess, you know, I wasn't really taken by her, to be honest, Lewis.
But then I think she reminded me of a cousin too much.
Yeah, that can put you off if a girl looks like someone
like that.
Yeah.
Hello!
I'm Brian Bliss's wife
and I listen to the Yoggpod!
Goodbye!
Well, we can say that people did the videos for the Ogpod challenge, and we can announce
the next challenge, which we have to come up with.
So, because I like the idea of people filming themselves doing stupid shit.
I mean, not dangerous stuff, just stuff that's a bit silly, you know?
So we had a couple of really excellent videos
sent in by people opening cans
and getting sprayed,
which was pretty awesome.
I love it.
So thank you very much for those.
I posted them on the site.
You watch a 30-second video
of someone doing something fairly odd,
but benign,
and you think, what the hell?
Yeah.
I like the idea of people doing stuff in their gardens.
Because I like looking at people's gardens.
Okay.
Well, people just film their gardens.
The person who has
the nicest garden...
Maybe they could dig a hole or something?
Search for buried treasure.
Search for buried treasure.
You have to dig a hole.
Because this is
something I did
as a kid right
I was so
excited I had
like a phase
I went through
a phase in my
life for about
a year when I
would just dig
holes everywhere
and try and
find buried
treasure I was
convinced that
just by digging
holes in the
garden if I
dug deep enough
I'd find
something valuable
that's a bit odd so I want people to do that.
So you want people to just dig up
their parents' back gardens
to try and find treasure.
Well, if they ask their parents,
they'll say, you know, Mum, is there any way you particularly
want me, you know, you mind me digging a hole?
I don't know about this. It's a lot of effort
for someone to go to.
Digging a hole's hard work, Lewis.
It's hard work.
I'm not sure about...
I mean, you've dug loads of holes.
I'm sure you're aware of just how much work
goes into the digging of a hole.
And also, what do you do with all the dirt and earth?
I want people to search buried treasure.
Dig up.
You have to, like, dig a second hole
to put the dirt into.
No, you just put it back in the hole
when you're finished.
Then you dig a hole somewhere else.
What if you, like, start digging in your the hole and you're finished. Then you dig a hole somewhere else. What if you, like,
start digging in your
back garden and you
find the body of,
like, your old cat
that died when he
was six and you
just start crying,
cradling this little
horse?
That's not going to
happen, oh God.
That would be
horrible.
I think, I'm not
sure this is a good
idea.
You're convinced that
people's back gardens
are going to be filled
with skeletons of tiddles rather than any kind of gold idea. You're convinced that people's backyards are going to be filled with skeletons of
tiddles rather than any kind of
gold hoard. Well, I think it's much more likely
they'll find a dead
household pet rather than buried
pirate treasure. Yeah.
I really think
it's too much effort for people to go to.
I mean, the whole Coke can thing
is pretty easy. You've just got to have a can
and just film yourself doing it
And only two people have been bothered to do that
How many people do you think
Are going to respond to
Dig up your back garden
And find treasure
Well let's see
I don't want massive footage of them doing it
I just want pictures of what they might have found
Or stories
If you've got a little brother maybe get him to do the digging
yeah you throw him a shovel
and you've got a shotgun trained on him
and you just say dick
he's crying
he thinks he's digging a grave
man
you ask for the shovel back
when he's dug a big enough hole
and he just...
He just started filling in the hole
and he stood in the bottom.
Stop it! Stop it!
He's buried up to his ankles.
He just threw a fucking shovel full of dirt in his face.
That's horrible.
Oh no.
Oh.
Hello, I'm Warwick Davis
and I'm in a sewer
but I still listen to the Yonk Pod.
And what you can do is
you can actually add like an echoey sound effect
onto that.
Or just...
Maybe some dripping water.
So Or just the Maybe some dripping water So I think we've had a few people
Who've given us donations this week
Is that right Simon?
Yes
Some very lovely listeners
Lovely listeners
Have been donating their hard earned monies
Their pocket monies from their parents to us.
So who's the executive producer for this week, then?
We have a tie between two listeners.
Jonas Soder,
whose name I probably am not pronouncing correctly.
Jonas Soder.
Okay.
I don't know.
And the other listener is called Michael Beck
He's got a very lovely normal English name
So thank you for that Michael
Sorry Jonas
Sorry I didn't mean that
Thank you for having such a normal English name
So how much did they donate?
They donated
Should we talk about amounts?
Because
I don't know I think it's their
personal business
how much they donate.
I don't know. I'm not comfortable
with it. I'm not comfortable with us.
Well anyway, they're the executive
producers for this week.
They gave us £1000 each.
And me and Lewis
off to the Bahamas for a dirty week
together.
A dirty week
drinking
Cuba Libras
and being massaged
by
champagne flute tea.
What are they called?
Cabina
Cabina Boys.
Champagne flute tea.
Cabina Boys.
What's that called
by the way?
Has it got some
special like
high class name?
It's called
Spackity. No, no, no. high-class name? It's called Spackety.
No, no, no, that's just too common.
It has to be called, like,
Tea a la Mauve, or something like that.
Tea a la Spacker.
Right.
There we go.
Okay.
Tea a la Spacker.
So they're the executive producers this week.
They will be adding their names onto the list.
Thank you, Jonas, Soda, and Michael Beck.
So what I do... You're going on our special list. Thank you, Jonas, Soda and Michael Beck.
So what I do... You're going on our special list.
When I've got like...
I think we've also...
Carlos.
Special people.
Carlos is on the list
because he was obviously the executive producer
from before.
So he obviously kept us going for about...
From the first 25 episodes that we did.
He kept us going for a few months.
Single-handedly keeping us going. a few months single handedly
which is really nice
so these people will obviously
go on the list and occasionally we'll send out
care packages to people who are
on the list of gifts and stuff
but it won't be for a little while
so just so that
you know don't expect anything
in the mail like tomorrow
oh dear i was just thinking of what kind of things i could put in it you know i was obviously
thinking that you know the basics like you know the jaffa cakes and raspberry jam milk that kind
of stuff but i was thinking that it might not be possible to send like food abroad to like uh
america and stuff they might they might not oh of course you can it's America and stuff they might not
oh of course you can it's not a problem
they might get like seized by American customs
they might like open this package
that's like
yogpod gift package
and it'll be like
don't have to perform a controlled explosion
on a piece of chapsticks
what the fuck
yeah no but What the fuck Yeah
No but
Goodness me
So anyway
We'll sort stuff out
So it'll be cool
And obviously
The thing is
These people who are executive producers
Will stay
On the producer list
In the future
And
They'll get exclusive stuff
So in like a year's time Or something They'll still get Stuff producer list in the future and they'll get exclusive stuff.
So in like a year's time or something, they'll still get stuff. It's like lifetime
membership to the Yacht Pod Club.
Exclusive club.
What the hell? I'm not sure we should be
that committed.
It's not quite that bad.
But obviously what they can do is they can put it on their
CV that they're an executive producer
of a popular internet podcast
And it sounds like they're actually
Doing more than they really are
Yeah well that's all that executive producers do
If you look at like films and TV and stuff
The executive producer just puts money towards it
They don't actually
Are actually involved
So yeah you can put that down guys
So you can sign that after your name
Like Mark what's his name
michael michael belt michael bay michael no the guy who executive producer for this show
what jonas soda oh michael michael beck and jonas jonas soda and he can say jonas after his name he can have he can have
EP
Yodpod
just get some business cards
made
and have that on there
oh dear
that's a bit odd though
Because obviously what happened was
Two people donated the exact same amount of money
£40 exactly
I think we have to say it
It's going to be worth it though
I'll pay you back don't worry
We'll get £40 as the Jaffa Cakes through the door
So if one of them had donated
One P more
That's the key to it
People have to donate numbers
That aren't rounded
An unround number
As they're called
So people will be
An unround number
I've got two
Whole A levels in mathematics
I know
Another weird thing another weird thing,
another weird thing, Simon,
is that these people
were not necessarily English,
so how did,
if they donated like 10 euros
or whatever,
how did that get converted
into pounds?
That's a bloody good question.
That's a bloody good question.
I've got no idea.
Anyway, they're the executive producers,
so thank you guys, and we'll sort stuff out, I promise.
Thank you.
So I want to say a massive thank you
to everyone else who donated as well.
Who were they?
Ryan Calhoun, again, who donated.
What?
Carlos Larios, Alex Beer,
Joris Vigilar
magnificent name
Sean Cameron
and Grant Lawrence
thank you very much guys
thank you
thank you
you're keeping us going
you're keeping us trucking
you're keeping us on the track
on track in a truck
thank you going full steam ahead You're keeping us on the track. On track, in a truck.
Thank you.
Going full steam ahead.
Okay.
That's a boat.
I wonder how you're going to edit this long, rambling fucking discussion about executive producers into like two minutes of tight audio.
I don't know. I usually manage to do it, man.
It's fine.
You're a miracle miracle when it comes to
editing audio you're not going to say that after you've heard this podcast it's full of crap i'm
gonna go oh dear lord that's what i'm gonna do and a big thank you to little dave yognort from
chiswick who donated a kidney to us thanks a lot d, Dave. We're sure to get a few thousand for that.
So is there anything you want to say?
I mean, Warwick, let us know
if you see Warwick.
We need to find him. Simon's worried.
He's not come home for his dinner.
We're still looking for him.
Brian Blessed, if you see him around,
say hi. He'll say hello, I'm sure.
He might pop in.
Is he still around here,on's he gone home he's
in the area so you know he's not in your house anymore though he's he's left has he he's not in
my house no he's a guest yeah he's just popped in like and left come over to stay why not couldn't
you put not living here i don't live with brian blessing maybe he's got a family oh yeah of course
he has he's's not going to leave
his wife for me. I mean, God knows
I've begged and I've pleaded.
You could bring her in.
I think you wouldn't be able to stand it though. You'd just go
deaf. Who the God?
Where are you?
That's how he speaks apparently.
He does. I can't really do a good impression
of him. That was okay.
It wasn't great. It was okay. No of him That was okay It wasn't great
It was okay
No it wasn't
It wasn't as good as the real thing
No
Which is on this
Podcast
If you just let this podcast keep playing
It will go back and repeat itself
It will loop
And you'll be able to hear
It will loop
Hear the podcast You know what you should do
You should end the podcast
With the beginning of the podcast
To really fuck up people
So they don't know what's going on
How does this one even start
I guess we don't know yet
Because it has been edited
I think it starts with me saying something like
So
How are you
doing, Simon?
That's how they usually start. Hello.
I'm doing quite well,
Lewis. You're listening to
Time Becomes a Loop.
Time Becomes a Loop.

did you see the ones of your eye
yeah what the fuck is that all about
you bastard
the challenge is to dig in up the garden.
You've already talked about it.
Yeah, I think it's in there somewhere.
I'll have to edit it in somewhere.
We have to offer some sort of incentive for people to dig up their garden and film it
and put it on YouTube.
Hannah will take off her top if you don't send us in anything.
Hey-oh-ho!
