Niels Bohr's brother Harald has an Olympic silver medal for being part of the Danish men's football team at the 1908 London Olympics. A book i use to have erroneously claimed Niels was part of the squad too as a back up keeper.

Absolutely digging the Warship t-shirt - where can I get one?

This last post sponsored by Westminster Oil Lubers Inc.

I was very amused that this part of the sponsored segment didn't have a "don't try this at home" warning but the hot dogs did

I see a few folk are asking ‘what was the attraction of being sponsored?’, and my answer is this

I had this playing on a second screen & closed the video as soon as I noticed the sponsored segment. British Panel Show-style videos shouldn't have american-style product placement seamlessly integrated into the content.

We literally smash cut to Tom in a gold spangly jacket and had a sign come up saying ‘injecting oil up your arsehole’ m8, not sure that’s ‘seamless’

signpostmarv.name•173 days ago

Also, second screen consumption I hadn't noticed the smash cut + "injecting oil up your arsehole" isn't exactly out of character

Same set, seamless enough

If winning a Nobel prize gets you a Carlsberg tap right in your house straight from the brewery, we might now know which kind of pipeline winning an Ig Nobel prize gets you 🤣

Watching now. And I swear I said the word "Denny's" out loud milliseconds before Gary said it on my TV. We were in sync.

It's the sad to see Mystery Biscuits go, but I'm always happy to see techdiff just having a laugh

Also the sponsored segment is great. I like how Chris just walks out right as it begins

Also also, the TOTPAL slander will not be tolerated. That series was great lol

Finally, over the last month I've watched the whole podcast on YouTube, you came just in time

Fabulous episode. Not enough discourse about breakfast food. Next up: how runny should the yolks of poached eggs be?

Pretty sure it took you so long to get the "smarter" Yogi Bear joke because the American writers didn't mean it that way.

I wonder what other examples there are of dialect differences making writers seem more clever than they are. Sort of a linguistic "found humor" category.
