Anyone else think Dan Schreiber is a spot on James Potter
There has never been a more accurate comment ever
he kinda looks like darren criss as harry, in 'a very potter musical', also
Love the podcast - How have I only just discovered this programme?
Round of applause for James saying 99,999,999,999.99
hardest thing any of them has ever attempted
@23:30 When Andrew is talking about attracting insects by clicking your fingers, a fly flies behind him after he clicks his fingers!
The comic timing is impeccable.
The cicadas that pee are a tropical variety that feed off tree sap with a high sugar content. They can't absorb much of the sugar so the watery sap mostly passes through them, squirting out in a long stream. With masses of them on every tree it appears to rain sugar water. The main reason to use an umbrella is to avoid being covered in sticky syrup (and attracting insects.)
I love this show. Please release it on BBC America.
Why? There are only 5 episodes and they are all here
About time to see the 2021 versions of these coming out I'd hope. Plenty of time :-)
In Canada you can bring damaged currency into any branch of any bank and get a replacement on the spot. Pretty handy.
You can also bring an ugly hand in and get a nice looking one. Preety handy.
In Germany you can bring an undamaged €5 to most shops and in exchange you can get up to €5 worth of goods.
Love the show.
It's people! The new 5 pound notes are made of people !
UH oh, now they know that you know.
In a reverse PR name change to the sky prawns, prairie dogs are a pest animal in the high desert areas of the United States but people get annoyed at controlling cute animals they see in zoos. So we call them sage rats instead. Nobody complains if you trap sage rats.
Anyone else notice that a shadow of a fly went straight past Andrew's head after clicking his fingers to demonstrate how to get some insect action? No? Just me?
James: "Cicadas who have lived underground in West Virginia..."
Tickertape: "Cicadas in Ohio..."
Further proof that the stuttery scrolly message thing is evil.
I believe "Ohio" is in fact a name for the underground part of West Virginia (probably derived from the miner dwarves' singing).
The Cicada's range is pretty wide. The same brood can cover multiple states.
Ohio County, West Virginia
In Australia, we had to call it drab green because Olive growers got upset when we kept calling the colour olive.
In the podcast, they covered the fact that "drab" is a colour.
You're looking very drab tonight.
I call it 'olive drab' after the joke from M*A*S*H
We rarely have to worry about olive growers in the UK lol
Bring it back
Is Schrödinger's cat also not in two boxes at once?
Pretty sure the thing about not being allowed to have ketchup on your hot dog unless you're a child is nothing new, I remember hearing about that rule a few years ago
Has anyone else noticed how BBC camera men /editors pick out attractive audience members and go back to them repeatedly? I mean I get it but in more enlightened times?.... Top Gear were shocking for it... Love these guys though , fun informative entertainment for intelligent people, keep it up.
I find the whole business of tunnels rather boring..........
Hah, I see what you did there!
I love you.
I am deeply ashamed that i did not see what you did there until Centigonos pointed it out.
Its OK, schist happens
LMAO
Has Pixar seen this German no-smoking robot? Because it looks an awful lot like WALL-E...
WALL-E looks a lot like Johnny 5
No coincidence, it's actually promoting the WALL-E-cigarette.
More views!!!
Love the show guys - just something simple you can do to make it look better is get rid of those shadows behind you by lighting up the background - who do you have on lighting? That's basic shit
❤❤❤❤
we have cicadas in brazil too, i use to take them after they've died and put into someone hair or tshirt great fun terrorizing people
great show !!
Wow you're an awful person. )
Very male understanding of fun btw - making something bad to someone.
i do that with wasps. if they're alive i remove the sting but it's not easy and i don't always bother
I jeep thinking JacksFilms is in the audience
I can´t believe they didn´t recognize Wall-E
The Australian ones are black, not green. Unless they are planning to change them. But I've got a pack in front of me, and it's definitely black and they have been since they were introduced.
No, they're the same olive drab. The top bit with the warning ('SMOKING WILL FUCK YOUR SHIT RIGHT UP') is black, the rest is green. Look into the possibility that you're color blind? My father didn't realize he was until his 60s. ;)
Just checked again. I suppose you are right. The top of the pack is black, then there is a warning, then there is a huge photo of some lungs, then there is some company and brand name written in white on a black background and then finally just along the bottom is about 5 mm of green. Never noticed it before. It is way less obvious than what the UK packs look like.
OMG, Florida man hits the British shores!
Now, we have the biggest, orangest Florida man of all. I hope the impeachment works.
Does anyone know what Dan's accent is? It's *almost*, but not *quite* one of the American accents. It sounds an awful lot like someone took about 4 parts American accents to 1 part British accents, and threw them into a blender.
Dan is originally from British Hong Kong but grew up mostly in Australia.
Forgive me, but that does not explain his accent...
he went to an international school in HK where most kids spoke with a kind of American accent - which got mixed up with some Australian!
Kim Richards from The Yogscast, she's Malaysian Chinese, and she grew up in Hong Kong, Australia, and Britain (citation needed) and she has a similar accent. I think it might be because of their exposure to the generally more efficient American accent in international schools, and the Britishness coming from Australia and Britain, of course.
Efficient!?
I live in Maryland and you may laugh but when they come out after 17 years the sound it’s just loud and irritating. I just found this program and it is a scream.
The sexual tension between Dan and that BBC news woman is palpable.
mr green is ripping off australian laws
He didn't come up with it, he just ruled against the companies that were complaining that adhering to the plain packaging law would damage their brand.
It’s sic-kay-duh.
