LEWIS and PYRION: SO ANYWAYS HERES THE STORY OF MY PEOPLE
I named my dog Sips, he’s 7 now! And the best Sipsco employee around... He loves to dig, eat and roll in dirt! 🤣🤣🤣
Someone: I went shopping and bought a sandwich
Lewis: That reminds me of a high-concept, post apocalyptic indie sci-fi series by the author, he actually wrote numerous different series on, about kind of the space romp story type deal, but he's called Brilfrid Tumsly and the story's kind of about like, how, it's very reminiscent of our every day lives you know, how you're always on the edge of this kind of immense panic and what's amazing is that, when I heard about this book someone said it's so true to life which it is and honestly going in I doubted it but it really gripped my by the end because he's so clearly got his focus set on this niche of the genre that is simultaneously very realistic, unlike the modern day kind of tripe you find in you, I dunnno, like WHSmiths or something. Is WHSmiths still a thing I dunno, we're in lockdown.
Took my awhile to gauge if this was an quote or satire
Sips: it's so crazy we all keep money in banks
Pyrion: why?
Sips: you know, it's just how I feel I guess
Lewis: Listen, listen, listen... we are on the precipice of a terrifying area of discussion, which we know nothing about and that's why we fear the unknown and why Sips's reaction is very very natural.
Pyrion: *sighs*
Well why is it sensible?
It's scary because banks can choose whether or not to serve you. So if all your money is stored digitally in a bank, then you are completely at the mercy of the bank- and even if it's regulated you'd still be completely at the mercy of the government. Being entirely reliant on a system known for failing and needing to be bailed out should be scary.
Sips used to work at a bank iirc. So, he'd know out of the three of them for sure.
When lewis says that " harry potter is a young adult novel", I remember Simon mocking him in a nerdy childish voice " IT's FOR ADULTS!"
I was thinking that. "THAT'S WHY IT'S SET IN A SCHOOL OF WIZARDRY!"
@@tophatproductions3031 "ITS FOR ADULTS, ITS AN ADULT BOOK! THATS WHY ITS SET IN A SCHOOL OF WIZARDS" Haha
Ahh man, I've re-listened to them all so many times.
Fully on Lewis' side of this argument.
@@BlueXonar I'm on Simons, but yeah I was hoping Lewis might remember the old conversation he had and reference it here.
@@tophatproductions3031 To be honest, the reason I (and perhaps Lewis too) feel that way is because we read them when they first came out, which was in the late 90's, and the writing did slowly get a bit more mature until the final book which was released 20 years later.
If we went back and re-read the first couple of books our opinions may change... But I dont want to spoil the magic (ha)
Lewis would have been 13/14 when the first book came out. Pyrion would have been 21/22. I think that is the critical difference!
Sips is very correct in regards to physical money dissapearing, if there is no physical tender it then allows banks to control any and all individual trade. Cash being removed from the economy is an incredibly dangerous thing.
Roasted Walnuts that’s what they said about the gold standard.
Yeah but pflax and to an extent lewis still agreed that cash could be removed.
Ah yes, Llewelyn; the definitely, absolutely, *obviously* American and not *Welsh* name.
I think he was saying Lou-Ellen. Which is a very American South name.
thank god somebody else mentioned this. As a welshman I was screaming
@@--waffle- Is that so? I never realized. I always thought it was just a combination of Lou and Ellen a la Mary-Sue or Betty-Jean
I thought he said Llewellyn as well but yeah Lou-ellen makes more sense
Lewis: says dumbs shit
Pyrion: gets triggered
Sips: finish off with a joke
Bump set spike bby
If it entertains you it entertains you, for kids or otherwise. No need to be so conscious of whether or not what you are enjoying is "for" you. Stories are just there if ya like it then ya like it!
In Hong Kong children are usually born with an Anglicised middle name---it has been this way for a long time. It isn't so that we can communicate with them better. It is instead to do with the complex and interesting history the UK has with Hong Kong. They're also born with a British National Overseas passport, which doesn't afford the holder many rights but is a necessity commanded by Hong Kong Act 1985. We are now hoping (since 2020) to allow Hong Kongese people to have limited leave to remain (5 years) to work and study in the UK. Holders can then apply for settled status. This is in retaliation to China's authoritarian stamp-down on Hong Kong and their infringement of the Sino-British Joint Declaration of 1984. They actually choose their name from a list and parents spend a lot of time deliberating over the meaning of Anglicised names in order to find one that they think will suit their child.
The UK and Hong Kong have a long and interesting history. As a Brit, I hope that the UK can continue to support Hong Kong. They're great people.
Opium war look it up
Well said that man
46:48 the genuine feeling of loss in Pyrion's voice is kind of hilarious to me.
I wanted to name my daughter Lily, after my favorite flower, however I made the mistake of telling my mother and she promptly named her new puppy Lily...
Omg no, id be so mad
Damn lol id legit be pissed if my mum stole the name of my child for her stupid dog
To be fair, large print books are also to be found in the older adult section for those with declining eyesight.
I think what makes young adult novels the way they are is that authors use themes that can be 'relatable' to the 12-18 y.o. age group (even though quite a few readers of YA novels are older.)
The Divergent series (the epitome of a promising book gone horribly wrong) basically used friendship, comradery, first love and identity (i.e. the group you were in) throughout the series, themes that the target audience could relate to.
Edit: on the subject of names, I think it's a thing popular in former British colonial areas in Africa and Asia. My parents have typically Nigerian names, but adopted Christian English names when they came to the UK to "make assimilation easier" and to "stop problems with name misspellings etc with banking and other legal crap".
Haven’t listened in years and I got to say I’m glad to be tuning in again.
Definitely catch up with the rest of the episodes, such a good podcast
Lol I love them but the amount of times that they all interrupt each other every episode drives me crazy
It's a conversation among friends. This is preciously why I have been a long time listener. Many of my favorite podcasts have become so overproduced over the years and I just stop listening. They lose their authencity when they start doing things they wouldn't do in normal conversation.
Jessie my two favourite podcasts are this and the JAR media podcast, because both are just a group of longtime mates talking about bollocks and making each other laugh.
Natural conversation. Wouldnt be genuine without it
I think everyone is assuming that this ruins the podcast for me lol. I love this podcast! Interrupting is just a pet peeve of mine. I think it's more that I want to be able to hear what everyone has to say. And hearing things like in this episode where Sips gave up on what he was going to say, "I didn't want to talk anyway", disappoints me. You can still enjoy something immensely while pointing out parts of it that you dislike.
Thats how actual conversations work. People cut in, cut out, talk over, bounce off, and all that jazz.
Most Chinese mainlanders are told to come up with a generic English name in school (albeit some go with whacky names) because Westerners can't pronounce their original names. I applaud sips' comment on that they shouldn't have to, but I couldn't imagine sips saying, "oh good afternoon Mr Zhang Xiangwei" - he'd be all "was it Zhang that was your first name again? Oh no? Really? Okay, then I'll just call you Joey"
Ohhh my god I wish they would stop interrupting sips! It’s infuriating.
To be fair Sips is a real chatterbox
im listening to a bulk of these at a time, and i thought this. but then Sips was bare interrupting in the last couple episodes
Damn! Thanks Sips - I almost forgot that my rhinoceros is still at home on fire!
You'll miss cash when they impose negative interest rates. Can't stash your money if there's no money.
Now there's a scary thought.
This led to me researching negative interest, its a real thing meant to be an incentive for loaning during a deflationary period ( When people or banks want to hold money rather than spend it or loan it) to prevent such behavior because it is bad for economic growth. So in theory it would be better during these periods to put your money into something like Gold.
Not just that. Think about the complete lack of privacy that Sips already mentioned. The government will be able to trace pretty much anything you do. Combine this with the rising promotion of having RFID-Chips implanted in people "for an easier and more comfortable life". Add to this the rising interest in western governments for the chinese way: a "scoring" system where people get awarded points if they behave in a government-approved way. People who digress and have unpopular opinions - they're not able to receive certain benefits, can't use certain services anymore etc. The lure of the "more comfortable" way of paying without cash is pushing humanity in a very dangerous position. And events like the totally overexaggerated Corona-hype (with artificially inflated numbers of infected, dead, etc.) are used to further the "transparent citizen"-agenda. Please keep this in mind. And honestly: if you actually regard using notes and coins as a "hassle" compared to electronic payments, you're a spoiled tool anway.
ITS THAT TIME AGAIN LADS
TO BE CLEAR the right option is obviously the first one. It shouldn't even be a hard choice. First option you're innocent, second option you've done something very bad.
It's a life of hell either way I'd choose to take the blame and then just off myself best option.
Yeah but if everyone thinks ur a pedo ur life is over. Legit would have to move countries or neck it
Previously Banned Beavers rejoice
Cockroach milk isn't actual milk. It's like coconut "milk". It has a color and thickness similar to milk, so they call it milk, but they aren't mammals
Eurgh I hate this piece information bleeurghhh
Beaver scent glands (specifically the secretion from it called castoreum) are used for vanilla flavoring/scent in food and perfume. It's considered "natural flavoring", but I don't think it's used much in food from what I've seen.
Vanilla!?
"Beaver dams help to reduce downstream flooding" Uh, I live in Ontario and there's a beaver lake upstream from me. Sometimes after the spring snowmelt, there's too much water and the dam breaks, and half the water in the small lake flows down all at once and literally tears a 3-metre-wide ravine straight across the width of the highway
Your card theories all hinge on 2 big assumptions:
1 that there is electricity to run the devices that read your phone/card’s orders and are able to communicate via an electronic connection.
2 that the finance institutions also have power and/or internet connectivity as well.
So how do you pay for goods during a large blackout??? Or loss on internet???
Just a thought for you to consider when the modern era falls short, which it does far more than you think. And if you’re worried about how dirty the notes are, WASH YOUR HANDS after handling it..
Pyron if someone steals your credit card or you lose it and you have to cancel that card and have no cash then how are you supposed buy anything? Huh Pyrion?

LET SIPS TALK
22:20 Flax: Anytime an Asian man comes on you hear a GONG
Me a wrestling fan hears a GONG:
OMG THE UNDERTAKER HAS RISEN FROM THE DEAD
Very relevant to listen to all this bank talk today
RIP Just Chips
kids have less responsibilities so they can go on crazier adventures and be believable where adults have more responsibilities and their stories are somewhat laid out before hand. Why I enjoy kid things more they are more adventurous and full of journey and exploration.
The Harry Potter series began as a book series for kids, but aged with it's audience and the final few books were definitely YA novels. Remember that the Harry Potter books can be read today in a month, but they came out years apart.
I'm getting all my food from Amazon now, too. It's pretty great; I don't have to go anywhere!
That milk conversation... you literally consume cows milk. Why is it weird to drink milk from another animal? Not to mention the milk is produced for offspring?
Ordering and paying digitally is the best, especially at busy places. There's no waiting in line (or in a moshpit of people) at the bar, no trying to talk over loud music to the employees, no even having to get up. So convenient
According to Pflax, Stephen King's IT, is a children's book O.O
In the Netherlands it has become very normal to not pay with cash, some people don't even have proper wallets anymore
I learnt this the hard way when I went on holiday to Amsterdam with only cash and went to a lot of small popular restaurants before realising most of them didn't accept cash
I appreciate them talking about the cultural names. As an Asian-American, I also find it dumb that we have to "conform" to the American culture and create a separate "American/English" name, just so it would be easier for them to pronounce, and even get less prejudice in life. Again, It's just how the world works at the moment, English is the main language of the whole world, with the power, status, and everything. Everyone outside is expected to conform to it. Those already inside expect it to be done, because GOD FORBID it makes them sound like an idiot when they can't pronounce our given name, instead of seeing it as, oh let's try and learn a different culture.
Lmao lets just have everyone learn every language, even the dead ones! As that's a realistic expectation.
@@jt1687 Or more realistically and respectfully, just ask people of other cultures how to pronounce their name correctly and use that name. Don't need to learn a whole new language just to say a name. Can be a great conversation starter too!
Ok the video is a few months old but I think if Lewis, as he demonstrated in this video, doesn't know that his several million £££s of savings aren't covered by the £85k guarantee of FSCS guarantees he REALLY needs a new accountant.
Why about the star wars lore books? Darth Bane: Path of Destruction.... Adult main characters and def has adult themes
not heard so much shit coming out of Lewis' mouth for a long time, and Pyrion is not far behind either
Pyrion.... the worst British name ever is " Manfred " ... i mean do you really need to indicate that Fred is a man's name ? :P
Manfred Cummings?
We need a new name to compliment Manfred... Womanfred! Hahahahah
why does lewis ignore Ricky Gervais on principle though?
Yh wtf, I know some people dont like him for his views on religion but Lewis seems to have pretty similar veiws
Probably because he's popular and lewis is being a hipster
if your worried about digital money. start hoarding gold.

Books for adults don't have child protagonists?
Steven King's IT.
HALF AN HOUR LATE (thank god they actually uploaded was getting worried there)
Just on here to say that I'm a Joanna and in my twenties, and I agree it's a pretty uncommon name. I haven't met hardly any Joannas.
Joanna, make way, make way!
Speaking of Ricky Gervais, I wonder how Turps is doing since he mocked it all up.
I wonder too. It's been over a year now. What job does he have? How is his relationship with his family, specifically his wife?
@@finleyjennings6051 not really any of your bussiness.
@@iamjames8200 just morbid curiosity ya know. Like how do you move on from a situation like that?
@@finleyjennings6051 yea I get you.
If you are looking for a good adult book, read Blood Meridian by cormac McCarthy
The young protagonist definition is definitely not perfect because the first book in the Dune series features a teen protagonist with a lot to prove, and that book series is a very adult and multilayered commentary on society, religion, government, etc. I think the only way to really determine whether something is a "young adult novel" is who its meant for, and that is entirely subjective. The Twilight books are very obviously meant for young teens. The early harry potter books are clearly meant for children. However adults can enjoy the Harry Potter books despite the early books being written for children, and adults who enjoy the Twilight novels are sub sentient scum, see its subjective.
The blind orchestra 50% stat is a myth
On the subject of going out to restaurants and eating out right now - if it takes all of these precautions for you to go out and eat, should you really be doing it? I am all for supporting restaurants and eateries etc right now but it is way easier to use a lot of the takeaway services that these places offer rather than eating in. I know people are eager to get back to some kind of normality but if it takes all of this work to allow you to eat at a table for an hour then maybe we need to rethink what we're doing.
I named my daughter Aeris after the FF7 character (I do not like how Aerith flows and prefer the og transliteration)... so now she has to explain to people that she's named after a character in some old video game her parents liked. With the remake now, maybe some people her age might be familiar with the character... but of course that used Aerith so unless they also know the original NA release it just makes it seem like her parent's can't spell in addition to being quite lame for naming her after a game character.
And her sister Terra
When your name is Ian :(
Fantastic!! :)
What a waste of air to have a baby and after all of that, name it Tarquin
sips is just such a fucking boomer :D
So, if Alister Reynolds is young adult (which it is definitely not) is what Lewis is saying "action happens, its not 100% true facts, must be for kids."? Because that's what it seems like. Again, if Reynold is YA, then nothing fictional is for adults I think.
I have a Cantonese mate named Howard but I feel better saying his birth name Hao-Nam
A fellow "Ken" right here 😅
My name is Tarquin lol
20:43
Poor sips
BOOM! POW! BANG! POOP!
beaver sent glades r used 4 artificial raspberry flavoring i think
baby names...there are no original names. Attempting to have a unique name leads to bullshit like "Moon Unit" Zappa or violations of sensible spelling like Shawtonq'ahh
not naming your kids dave! yognaut?, shame
Everyone. What about. Joy? For a girl.
I grew up in HK and moved to Australia, I don't mind people knowing my Chinese name, however I absolutely hate it when (mostly caucasian) people pronounce it wrong. So I just stick with my self given English name.
Lewis' Discussion of Othercide makes me happy how the new Xcom games has situations where 20 is a lot of HP and you do 6 damage. If your getting into triple digits with EARLY LEVEL COMBAT, you need to consider if your game needs that for balancing or if you can just knock off a digit and still be ok with how the game feels.

@@djm6683 pyrion wont like that
Hong kong were colonised by the Brits. So they adopt English names. Also as a Brit born Chinese. In school my teacher gave me a Christian name because she couldn't pronounce my name

Not so sure about the blind auditions: jsmp.dk/posts/2019-05-12-blindauditions/
"so he can pick his gender"
I like Lewis, but damn, living in the bubble he lives in must just destroy any sense of reality.
@@norijlesforever I think he's been traumatised by whats happened over the last year and he's now too scared to offend anyone.
He's gone way off the SJW deep end
best indian name ive heard: Dikshita
For the record, I'm from the US and I had a friend in highschool named Bartholomew. Can't remember what we called him instead of that, as It was kind of a mouthful.
Hmmmm how about Bart?
Bartholomew is a hebrew name. You can find it in plenty of places.
these dudes have way too much faith in capitalism
Office and extras where good, afterlife is amazing anything inbetween is a bit ehh. I don't think there's anything morally wrong with him doe
He's been very transphobic on twitter
@@Kai-vp1oh not rlly. He made a few jokes about some person who tried to get thier balls waxed at a salon and that's about it. As a tran woman who follows him on twitter, i don't find anything he's said transphobic.
@@ms.antithesis In a Netflix special he said 'I’ve always identified as a chimp. Well, I am a chimp. If I say I’m a chimp, I am a chimp. And don’t ever dead-name me, from now on you call me Bobo. I’m going to have species realignment.” which implies trans peoples identities aren't legitimate as well as being a lazy 'i identify as an apache attack helicopter' joke
He also tweeted 'We need to protect the rights of women. Not erode them because some men have found a new cunning way to dominate and demonise an entire sex.' implying trans women arent legitimate women, but are actually predatory men.
@@Kai-vp1oh no it doesn't. That not what that joke emplies at all. Infact I've watched that netflix special and it was quite funny. But that joke in perticular is mocking the radical people who actually say insane shit. He's not mocking all trans people, just the ones who say weird bullshit, which do exist, I've known quite a few myself. Plus what's wrong with mocking transpeople?? Mockery is a form of kinship.
Sips is the smartest person on this podcast and Flax is scared to let him talk
lewis cut him of 100 times more than flax. i dont think flax is the problem when it comes to interrupting.
None of those "American" names are even remotely common haha
None of the names for any country were particularly common, they're just far more uncommon anywhere but the given country.
@@Nocron99 Yes, but that's later in the podcast with reference to UK names you would never hear anymore. Sips starts with listing a bunch of "common" American names you wouldn't find in the UK. As an American, I have never met anybody with the "common American names" that sips listed in this podcast. Simple as that.
How the hell is "Llewlyn" (or whatever it was) anything but Welsh?
Who controls the naming of things?
"You n worded" does.
I find it pretty funny that pyrion refuses to accept that Harry potter books mature as they go along and then goes on to state red riding books mature as they go along... I think the fact he thinks having kids in a story equates to it being a kids book highlights how limited his world view is. If you take the name of the wind, a book predominantly featuring the stories of a child who becomes a teenager would you say it's for kids? I don't want to spoil anything but judging by the complex writing, poetry, and themes in the book it definitely isn't. Would you say the game of thrones chapters written from the perspective of a child are for children? The world surrounding the child is what decides the themes not the child themselves it is pretty astonishing a grown man fails to realise that. The Diary of Anne Frank should be put in the kids section, it was after all a book written by a kid about a kid.
Cope
Why is this the European stereotype podcast?
You didn’t need to specify your colour flax. English MEANS White.
He's purple :p
I don't see the problem at 6:40 the innocent but believed guilty is 100% absolutely no ifs or buts or shading in every single way possible the best option of the two. The only one "harmed" is you, if you are THOUGHT to be guilty. Who CARES if you aren't thought of as guilty if someone got hurt??? It would be worse to be thought guilty AND BE GUILTY, but actually be innocent? No contest. The one where someone isn't harmed by my actions. Every single time.
But your life could be ruined by an accusation like that. Friends and family leave you. No one will hire you. You could go to prison? Maybe you turn to crime? It's not that black and white.
@@mrroams5812 Uh, I would know it was wrong. Remember, you seem to want to forget, to "keep your job" you have to r-pe a child. So would you do a Gary Glitter on a child merely to keep your job?
The other option wasn't "not do it".
@@markhackett2302 Again, you're trying to make it simpler than it is.
@@mrroams5812 Again, no you are pretending that your decision to r-p- a child to save your job is morally acceptable.
@@markhackett2302 Are you stupid or something? It's not just your job, it's your entire life that is ruined over a lie. That's also pretty damn morally reprehensible. I'm not even taking a side here on which I would choose personally, all I'm trying to tell you is that it isn't that easy.
55:00 Lewis hijacks the conversation to talk about an obscure game only he has played, rambles about it and run throughs the lads through annoying ass calculations, all so he can shout WHY WHY WHY 5 mins after he hijacks the conversation. I don't mean to be rude but the only thing Lewis functions as on this podcast is as the butt of jokes, I really do wish it was more of Sips and Pyrion interacting
FIRST
lewis - "i don't watch ricky gervais on principle" I love you lewis and i have been enjoying yogs content for years and years but this really makes me sad. Why don't you watch things you enjoy not what other people say about it. What do you mean "on principle" the principle that ricky has offended people? or that his jokes are not woke enough? or that you dont enjoy his content, movies ect? i feel like your being sucked into a woke echo chamber. please enjoy what you enjoy not what other people say is not offensive.
