I did this last year and it's my favourite post. Someone really needs to have the username @TarkovskyAndHutch

Ben would riff on inside v outside thongs, Andrew would complain that it's too cold to wear thongs in Canberra so he wears crocs n socks, and Lucy wouldn't mention anything about her feet because even over podcast the foot fetishists would be clipping and sharing.

Theo would be scrolling twitter and then chime in half an hour later to say that he wasn't paying attention, attempt a bad accent that unintentionally veers into not-quite-racist-but-almost then says he'd like to be squished by bigfoot before dipping to go look after his kid who's somehow shat all over the bathroom floor

My favourite Theo thing is when he accidentally reveals a messed up behaviour or opinion he thinks is normal or fine. Like on the recent episode where he says he has driven a car while wearing headphones or Bathtube-Gazpacho where he said he thinks it would be fine to eat on the toilet if it was pre-shitting.

I don't remember this one lmao. What a weird fella

It's probably my favourite episode that I suggest for non-listeners.

Ben starts with a Nazi Cowboy intro that is thankfully very short. All 4 of them are there. It has a nothing to report report about ATM theft, The Poll/Pole Report about secret spots to eat food, a great asking doctor lucy about eating a massive midnight feast at your parents in laws, and the Lancashire poo jogger.

It's a real intersection of them being both funny and weird. It won't scare them away like Theo's I'm a Train opening but also you get a feel for what you're signing up for.

Otherwise the one where Devon from KJB comes on to talk about beating children's cartoon characters with a lead pipe is another banger, especially for fans of KJB/trash future extended universe.

Lmaoo I'm gunna have to go back and find that one. I got my brother and his gf onto the pod but I don't know which they started with. I think I offhandedly recommend the theophiles one about the stump that floats in the lake, then hoped that'd be enough to bait amd switch them, but they just chose the latest ep at the time and worked backwards. Fortunately they seem to have liked it. To my other friends Ive been known to spruik the fundraiser one where everyone calls in doing their dead snakes hughsey impression. It's magical but not sure if it's the best entry point.

Thanks for the ep recap!

It's EPISODE 243: Bathtub Gazpacho.

Also my general suggestion for new readers is to start with the first episode of a year and work forward. Because you get something about the Netherlands and Fireworks which is always funny and then they often make a lot of call-backs to previous recent episodes.

I keep calling it Boonta Vista Socialist Club when suggesting it to people despite the long form name getting purge-2 'd ages ago. If they're willing to listen to a podcast with the word "Socialist" in the title, they're probably fine with increasingly long segments like armpit farts or The Bill's theme song with gunshots

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

You wouldn't want to wear shoes inside if they were made of wood, and wooden shoes are a staple of the Dutch! It's time for the Netherlands Corner

I'm from Holland! Isn't that weird??

You are the Boonta Vista Hexbear Comedian of the week! clown

this is The Grunter erasure, The Grunter definitely posts here

[-] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I sort of saw the Grunter and PigPoopBalls being similar figures with a shared mythic origin.

Like a Zeus/Jupiter and others Perun/Thor etc

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

that checks out, Zeus was big into fucking everything just like The Grunter

The crimewatch intro would extend even further than possible

[-] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Ben: Stealing your workers surplus labour? Under the dictatorship of the proletariat that would be A CRIME!...it's time for crime watch.

Crimewatch theme plays
