at the moment so

0:09

for me if you took that one hit I don't

0:13

think I could ever do it yeah and

0:14

they're like sometimes you take six

0:16

months or years of not getting a lot

0:21

is exploded with the internet you

podcasts because we have a special

0:32

announcement to make

0:33

[Music]

0:35

podcast but more on that later let's get

0:37

on with this week's episode of what

0:39

podcasts that people of Brighton listen

0:41

to here we go what is your favorite

0:43

podcast uh the wittering White Horse so

0:46

it's Jack whitehall's parents and it's

0:48

like an Agony Aunt kind of show where

0:49

they're just random members of the

0:51

public ask some questions and they give

0:52

advice what podcasts would you recommend

0:55

to people

0:56

um so I've just been listening to Off

0:58

the Ball which is a Irish sporting

1:00

podcast fly on the wall which is David

1:04

Spade and you'll have to forgive me um

1:07

it's Dana Carvey who played

1:10

um Garth in the wine shop

1:12

the coming storm which is about fake

1:14

news it's a

1:16

quite interesting as it came out just

1:18

after the Trump

1:20

Administration what is a good podcast

1:23

you can recommend I would recommend the

1:26

dropout

1:27

okay uh and it's called something like

1:29

the theranos

1:31

story or something it's about Elizabeth

1:33

Holmes who was an American student she

1:36

was at Harvard and she dropped out of

1:38

Harvard to start this uh very excellent

1:40

supposedly excellent company testing

1:43

people's blood and telling them whether

1:45

they had cancer and all kinds of other

1:46

things and she got a lot of money from

1:49

all kinds of people very high up in the

1:51

American government

1:52

and it was all a great big uh

1:56

well was it a con I'm not sure it was a

1:58

con I think she believed it but it

2:00

didn't work basically so you tested all

2:02

their blood

2:03

and uh you couldn't tell anything from

2:06

it for people who might not know who is

2:07

Jack Whitehall is a comedian I think

2:10

he's about my age about 30 something I

2:12

think right so yeah and he made like a

2:14

he made a documentary Series where he

2:16

took his father

2:17

uh kind of on around the world tour

2:20

right yeah and so does this have

2:22

anything to do with that program at all

2:24

um it doesn't no but I did like that

2:26

program I thought it was really good but

2:27

yeah I do find his dad amusing as well

2:30

so that's why I started listening to it

2:31

we just beat New Zealand in New Zealand

2:33

uh um which is the first time in history

2:37

we've we've won uh New Zealand yeah so

2:39

you're a happy guy right now at the

2:41

moment rugby is uh looking good in

2:45

Ireland no wonder you're going so fast

2:46

on pure joy I'm enjoying it I'm enjoying

2:50

it look at the introduction of the

2:52

printing press

2:53

the princess when that first came out

2:54

there was a book that came out about

2:56

witches

2:57

and that that went massive and it was it

3:01

was the second biggest

3:03

sort of published book apart from the

3:06

Bible about witches well yeah it was

3:08

about it was just some this guy I don't

3:10

know the guy's name or something but he

3:12

decided that um

3:15

but he came up this this these ideas

3:17

that witches had to burn them how to get

3:20

rid of them and and how to spot a witch

3:22

and it was so it's I think it's like 15

3:24

16th century it was

3:26

this massive book and then and the

3:28

danger of that was obviously because you

3:30

had all the witch hunts after all these

3:31

people

3:32

but we've got this press so this guy who

3:34

who released this book yeah which was

3:37

obviously he is a bit barking

3:39

these people thought it was uh was the

3:42

was the Gospel why did you let this

3:43

podcast in particular

3:45

it's a brilliant I think it's a

3:47

brilliant like really good podcasts are

3:50

compelling stories

3:51

um about human

3:55

uh Frailty and human sort of um foibles

4:00

I suppose

4:01

um and this is a I think a really

4:04

fantastic one particularly because

4:07

you won't surprise anybody to know that

4:09

she's a very young very attractive woman

4:11

and her company is funded and run by

4:15

largely by very old very unattractive

4:18

very rich men so in case you didn't get

4:21

a little hint at the beginning we're

4:23

starting a podcast

4:24

[Music]

4:26

finally we know some people have been

4:29

waiting for this and he wrote us

4:31

messages about it and we have delayed it

4:34

a bit but we're here now we started the

4:37

podcast actually episode one is now on

4:41

your favorite podcast it's out now it's

4:43

out now right now whether you're an

4:44

English learner or just wants to get to

4:46

know myself and easy a bit better then

4:48

this podcast is for you we'll talk about

4:51

all things British British life British

4:53

culture and all things in between and we

4:56

don't only produce now podcasts we also

4:59

created a very special perk for our

5:01

podcast we now have a podcast membership

5:04

with two perks one is for English

5:07

Learners you can get an interactive

5:10

transcript so you basically read the

5:12

transcript of the episode and you can

5:14

directly translate it into many

5:15

languages and see what we are talking

5:18

about learn with it learn some British

5:20

English some slang maybe from you

5:23

probably and the second perk is for

5:26

everyone who is interested in more

5:30

talking of us basically you will get

5:32

there the after show so the episode will

5:34

be longer than on the podcast apps we

5:37

will talk before and after about a bit

5:40

more stuff maybe a bit more personal

5:43

things and yeah if you want to hear the

5:45

full episode become a member there was a

5:48

one about Bill Clinton that was that

5:50

said that he had murdered is one of his

5:52

cabinet whatever the equivalent is

5:55

this guy who got rid of them yeah

5:59

and it's with his father and mother yes

6:02

and his father's really funny I find yes

6:05

but because he's kind of dry yeah and

6:08

what's what's his mother like in terms

6:10

of um yeah she's amusing as well

6:12

probably not as amusing as Michael but

6:14

yeah she's also quite amusing as well

6:16

lots of what I call it witchisms is how

6:18

it is yeah my mom likes to say she's a

6:20

bit like Camilla I think she does look a

6:22

little bit like Camilla the whole idea

6:24

of rugby was that it was like for people

6:26

of different shape sizes

6:28

um you know what I mean part of the

6:30

physique kind of did each position on

6:32

the on the team

6:33

um required specific skills and a

6:36

specific body shape so it was

6:37

considering a very inclusive game

6:40

um and I think that's one of the joys

6:41

that you can have scrum halves who are

6:43

like kind of five foot two and and 12

6:46

stone and then you can have uh frontrow

6:50

who might be six foot six and twenty

6:52

Stones so I kind of yeah there's a it's

6:55

quite inclusive and diverse as a sport

6:57

really from listen to have you ever

6:58

thought about find an improv night or no

7:02

I don't think I've I I don't think I'd

7:04

ever have the it and that's everything

7:06

as well

7:07

um

7:08

the nerve you need to do stand up yeah

7:11

you need to find that and the more I

7:13

listen to it the more it's like the

7:16

analog analogy is if you watch golf on

7:18

TV you kind of think we're fine and then

7:20

if you have one go at goal you're like

7:22

that is amazing what they're actually

7:24

doing is it's it's almost

7:27

it's superhuman what they're actually

7:28

doing and it's the same with um comedy

7:30

and the more you listen to it you kind

7:31

of think oh that's just someone telling

7:32

a few jokes and stuff but when you hear

7:34

the effort that they go into it yeah

7:35

they're quite tortured aren't they so I

7:37

think a lot of comedians are you just

7:39

sort of finished we'll listen to each

7:40

podcast or banging your fists on the

7:41

table it is really sort of it is

7:44

unbelievable really that that someone

7:48

who presents themselves as this she

7:51

modeled herself on Steve Jobs so she

7:54

even sort of deepened her voice no

7:56

because yeah because she thought that

7:58

made her more sort of impressive she she

8:01

wear the black turtle now yeah

8:03

she shopped at Issey miyaki's black

8:06

turtlenecks everything was very Sleek

8:08

the machine itself was kind of if you

8:10

see the machine you think that was

8:11

designed by Apple amazing so it's it's a

8:14

it's a Triumph of style over substance
