Baked bean bandit menaces small village - Peculiar Portions Podcast #24

[@fallingcrane1986]

Whoever was the editor who found those lookalike dogs, I am in awe of your utter glory

[@justingray8161]

honestly amazed

[@Enr0_]

man i'm glad someone brought this up, kudos to the editor; they are perfect

[@chrisjones3967]

The Simon one is spot on but I think they could have done better for Lewis

[@5hadow5talker]

I'm hoping it's Tom Hazel or Tom Bates, but will still be very impressed if it's anyone else

[@CaptainShears]

can someone give me the timestamp?

[@thefinal9923]

Honestly can't say how much I appreciate having Simon's PP back. Seriously, it's the best way to end the week.

[@Dewi-H]

I also like to partake in Simon's PP. It's the best way to end the week.

[@RandomUser11170]

I also like appreciating Simon's PP at the end of the week

I like to consume Simon's PP for enjoyment 😉

"How it that a famous quote?... It's like 5 words." -Simon "Diggy diggy hole" Lane.

[@rossmcquinn]

Lewis: "We're going to try stay more focused this time" Six minutes later they start the first item.

[@weebjeez]

More accurately, *Lewis* starts on their first tangent.

"Absolute legend", "better than a uboat!" Lewis brindly 2021 on topic of walruses path destruction

[@buttsagonton101]

r/shitlewissays

[@pokerfandk]

The police "interrogation" roleplay and the tangent with the walrus is the best part of the episode.

[@rocketforthree4479]

4:57 "There was a time where I would do that" Flash back to the moldy glass and blaming Parv.

[@ImpulsiveZombie]

The Queen sanctioning llama executions like Emperor Palpatine is how I imagine most of the world views the UK

[@dhopper598]

“better than a german u-boat.” that was unbelievably funny to me.

[@pacosoentken303]

Those dogs the editor put in are perfection

[@foo219]

Yes!

[@crackedemerald4930]

"there's a lot of animals that are coming out of life" Excerpt of Lewis Brindley's speech on the effects of deforestation. The EU headquarters, 2045.

[@SeanKojin]

When Lewis was talking about "V8 shampoo", I'm sure he was thinking about VO5, and V8 is an interesting tasting can of vegetable juice.

[@almagill]

My dad has fostered a blind dog. He is, literally, it's Guide Human.

[@RoinDanton]

I just love those two buffoons rambling on about weird shit. It's just equally very funy and wholesome.

[@Meximagician]

4:35 What a charming little pug mix on the left. And on the right is just a picture of Lewis, you can't convince me otherwise.

[@fugyfruit]

Simon as a pug and Lewis as a chihuahua is absolutely perfect

[@nicholasjones7774]

Lewis seems like the burned out therapist for the awkward patient who is ultimately well adjusted

[@weebjeez]

He used to be a therapist for Simon, but later became his friend and hangs out with Simon after all day dealing with clients.

[@josiah6328]

Correct. That's why their name was Freudscast before they rebranded.

[@Cyberpansy]

It’s great that the dynamic and comedic timing of these two just gets better and better over time. Love it. 😂

[@Andech_]

1:06 "...we're going to try our best to focus on making our way through, because last time I seem to recall we got to about one story before getting sidetracked." They then proceded to spend over 20 minutes on the first story, then 20 more on the second. Not disappointed.

[@ultimateninjaboi]

Hell, it took a good 4 and a half minutes after this quote for them to even get to the first story. XP. And i enjoyed every second.

[@FriendlyKat]

“How cute are you allowed to get to not get the death sentence?” - Lewis Brindley 2021. He’s asking the real questions.

[@gruntslayer3524]

I like how Simon doesn’t realize he just described the plot of 101 Dalmatians

[@115UndeadAnarchy115]

I was wondering if they were going to realise haha

[@nanothrill7171]

what i really love about peculiar portions is that simon is old like me.

4:35 Omg the editor nailed those dog look-alikes. I am so impressed; Exceptional work.

[@rairoker6751]

Always appreciate Simon's PP. Keeps me company on the bus.

All I can think about is a pack of dogs running around a village emptying mouthfuls of baked beans thru peoples letterboxes

[@EzioAuditoreDaFirenze99]

My favourite poem from Omar Khayyam: "Drink! For you know not whence you came nor why. Drink! For you know not why you go, nor where."

[@Adumb_]

The editor really raised to the dog challenge.

[@BrumeNoire]

As a french, I can tell you we wouldn't waste good cheese so using Camembert or Brie and blaming it on us wouldn't be convincing 😅

[@pepaigea]

omg Wally is so adorable!!!

[@lacoma631]

The fish thing is called surstrøming I think

[@NikoKun]

That alpaca thing is infuriating.. I just read about it.. Rather than do other tests, they dragged the animal away from it's owner and killed it, then it turns out tests after prove it didn't have tuberculosis after all, and there was never any concrete evidence it even had it to begin with, like the owner was saying.. I mean what the f.. Any official involved should lose their job, and probably get sued by the owner. I'd be likely to do a lot worse if it were my animal..

[@Joe-ki7og]

Not true that is it, they haven't even got the tests back yet as they take months to determine. Here's the quote from the chief veterinary officer of the UK. “A number of TB-like lesions were found, and in line with standard practice, these are now undergoing further investigation. “These tests include the developing of bacteriological cultures from tissue samples which usually takes several months - we would expect to complete the full post-mortem and culture process by the end of the year.”

[@GrumpDog]

@@Joe-ki7og So what? That doesn't mean what he said wasn't true. He just said what most articles are saying about it, which are claiming early autopsy results suggest it didn't have it. By your own logic, you're a few months early making a post debunking this. lol How long the test takes, is meaningless here. This bs has been going on for 4 YEARS! The government had all that time to do further tests. Supposedly the owner even had additional tests done, but the government ignored the results she provided.

[@jonasquinn7977]

@GrumpyDog to be fair the original comment implied that tests done after the alpacas death proved that it didn’t have TB but that’s not true because the results haven’t come back yet It’s possible that it didn’t have TB but it’s just as possible that it did

[@puan1211]

Promise I’ll be back to watch the video. Just here to like and comment for the algorithm. Love this content ❤️

I forget sometimes that Simon is a math wiz. But then he does 3 times 14 in casual conversation like it’s nothing (not super hard but you know) and am like teach me 😖

[@helixmoss9957]

Don't worry, you're not alone in being bad at math

[@knitterknerd]

I don't know if this is better or worse, but he probably didn't do the math. He probably know it off the top of his head. Not so much because he's smart (although my understanding is that he is), but just because he's used it a lot before. Intelligence can help someone learn it with fewer repetitions, but anyone would pick it up eventually. By the way, I've taught and tutored math, but I've never met anyone who's just inherently bad at math. It's just that the current popular forms of math education don't work well for everyone. I had a friend whose son had a math-related disability, but he worked hard and had good help and eventually became an engineer, meaning he made it through classes like multi-variable calculus. Don't blame yourself, you just didn't get the support you needed.

[@bilbo8480]

@@knitterknerd when I made my comment I was more talking about the quickness of the mental maths. I’m good at maths I have an a a-level. My issues lie in reliable speed. Sorry if I implied anything with my comment unless you were commenting to @helix moss specifically. I’d more meant this as a throw away comment 😭.

[@knitterknerd]

@@bilbo8480 Honestly, I think my brain might have smooshed the two of you into one person. Or I might just be too used to people thinking they're bad at math, and I made an assumption. Either way, sorry! Just the first paragraph, then!

RE: Walrus Boat Damage Depends on the insurance payout, no? The old phrase of "the two happiest days of a boat owners life are when they buy their boat and when they sell their boat," you could just see it as the boat being bought by a walrus via an insurance company.

There was no calming background jazz so I had to put on a second youtube video with that. Such a cozy experience with Simon and Lewis :)

[@KaosFireMaker]

[@hiddendesire3076]

2:34 There is a Bonobo tribe at a research center who developed their own hieroglyphic/imagery based written language, learned and have been observed teaching offspring both their written language and sign language from the researchers, and even made a number of rudimentary tools and weapons, including a blade with a leaf wrapped grip for carving up a tough skinned fruit they had in the enclosure.

[@cameronwilsey9334]

And wild cockatoos are known to make a three part tool kit by whittling sticks with their beaks to break through a tough fruit. And other birds have been observed using bait to catch fish

[@MillerJustinFS]

Those bonobo's started that because humans began teaching them. None of them really invented any of that. Yes, it is pretty awesome to see animals learning language and how to use or create tools, but that's because they're copying humans. On the other hand, there are some pretty smart birds who use and make tools, but they're known to pass knowledge down to their descendants, so maybe that's also learned.

[@paulbaker7500]

the bean bandit is probably people beaning themselves as some kind of weird meme

Kraft cheese spread, or maraschino cherry sauce would probably be good options to pour through the mail slot… bone broth if you have it, past date garlic mayo is a good choice, the water from cooking hotdogs then Brussels sprouts…

[@mellowcorpsep6665]

lutfisk is like the opposite of surströmming, its the most neutral matter possible except its also got bones

[@EnergyCuddles]

_Lutfisk_ and _surströmming_ both absolutely reek, and are potent in their own right, but in opposite ways. Lutfisk stinks of lye, a corrosive substance with a pH of 13 that will sterilise most things submerged in it. Surströmming, on the other hand, is slightly acidic (pH 6.3 - 6.8), but quite close to neutral (mind you, the pH scale is logarithmic!). Significantly lower pH value than that could prevent growth of harmful microbiota. As I understand it, that is instead attained with added salt to the brine that the fish ferments in. Unsure of how we do it. But fermentation does obviously occur, meaning it is far, far from sterile. In any case, the stench of surströmming signals to your body that something is deeply wrong with the source of the scent and that it might possibly be harmful to ingest; it is perfectly natural to have that kind of response even though properly fermented surströmming won't make you ill (but possibly sick all over the floor). Lye on the other hand just ... smells bad. Lutfisk is actually pretty tasty though - I used to eat it with my grandparents every Easter! =)

[@chrisjou42]

I'm amazed that they got sidetracked BEFORE mentioning the first story this time

[@randys2669]

The thumbnail gave me a flashback to an aerospace research facility long past...

[@Cybetrexs]

Fun fact: the emu war was lost because it turns out when you shoot an emu with a firing line, the rest run off and hide. The more you know.

[@Bramswarr]

the alpaca story has a wonky ending; apparently he absolutely did have TB (and had lesions typical of the disease discovered post-mortem), and while he was escorted off the farm a protestor was arrested for shooting police with a water pistol.

[@Potato8884]

[@Anonsy_GB]

If anything, it's always the opposite about Heinz beans and store bought that I hear. Always some recommendation from older family members about how Aldi or whatever has great own brand baked beans, much cheaper but far better than Heinz.

[@TheNosnets]

Even other branded beans like Branston are better tbh. And I do love some unbranded, mystery can of beans.

[@capulcinka]

and now Simon is the only queen we have left...

[@GuilhermeFurst]

I always found it strange that you guys only eat beans from cans, here in my country we always cook them and it is delightful.

[@ultimateninjaboi]

Thats a little over 250 mL of beans per person per meal. Assuming 3 meals a day for the whole fortnight. So thats like... a smaller can of beans every meal.

[@Yay295]

The timestamps are wrong. 24:30-32:52 is about Wally the Walrus.
