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.

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.

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

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??

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 9 months ago

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

The crimewatch intro would extend even further than possible

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
