Listening to this 4 months later in the middle of the corona pandemic and they're talking about face masks and how they're cool to wear lol

[@TokkiYamaguchi]

You could literally talk about anything and I'm always so interested.

[@gfox9295]

That's why I go back and watch them and Sips playing GMod TTT/Murder/PropHunt 5 to 10 years ago at least once or twice a month. Love the banter.

[@tiltedmouse1972]

agreed. they are my go to on KZbin

[@Hardtreads]

As someone who has worked in the Broadmead Cex Store (I was actually there 2016 when you guys came in to film your CEX skit! Great time meeting you!) I can 100% confirm that there are a lot of people who steal from the local HMV and WHSmith and just walk over to Cex to sell. Additionally when I worked in the WHSmith store a year later I had a thief bump into me as he ran around a corner stuffing CDs he was stealing up his coat... probably to go to CEX to sell. Security really have a tough time trying to stop this XD

[@Cyb3rC1ty]

The toenail discussion, man that takes me back, I dropped a drawer on my toe a few years ago and had to go to the doctors to get the dead nail removed because a new nail started growing beneath the dead nail and the dead nail was not falling off by itself Edit: also can we just appreciate the hive mind moment at 15:25, also from what I understand some of the reproductive organs are formed before like the ovaries for example and if the baby has a Y chromosome the ovaries become the testicles but I may be wrong.

[@CaptainWumbo]

Seems pretty common, three people in my family have had that too. If only there were some kind of boot, with some kind of hard material that could protect your toes when moving heavy things... 🤔

[@Cyb3rC1ty]

CaptainWumbo yeah lol I was about 12 and was at home I wasn’t purposely moving something heavy the drawer came off of it’s rails and landed on my toe. Having to wear steel toe boots all day everyday to avoid stuff like that seems excessive lol

[@SolstaceWinters]

59:00 Rule No.1 of sticking things in your holes, always make sure it has a base wide enough not to slip inside you.

[@Mgrow]

There are also two sides to CEX, franchise stores and corporate stores. The Franchisee I worked for was all over buying stuff from drug addicts and burglers, to the point he'd give them pointers on items we were paying most for.

[@DaftCricket]

1:05:50 On the subject of if we all had Vaginas in the womb No not exactly there's some sort of default sex organ we all have that, if the Y chromosome is present then causes it to grow in to a penis by the release of testosterone (among other hormones) Interestingly there is a remote village in the Dominican Republic where people are born female and during puberty their vagina becomes a penis. This is because of a genetic mutation, which causes a deficiency in an enzyme required to produce the testosterone that triggers the growth of a penis in the womb. So then later on in puberty when there is a boost of testosterone (I think again a specific type of testosterone) they grow a penis. This is all shit i'm remembering from A level bio which was a while a go so maybe not fully accurate. Just thought it was interesting to add that, it is possible for a vagina to grow in to a penis. If you want to look it up I think there's a BBC documentary on it, just type in "Guevedoces" or "penis at 12" cause that's what I remembered them calling it in the documentary and had to google to get that technical name.

[@tiltedmouse1972]

I live in Wuhan. hopefully after everything goes back to normal worldwide I could invite you guys. I love it here and you really should see it for yourself rather than just reading about it.

[@richyjjsmith]

Eye colour is not controlled by a single gene with mendel inheritance. It's polygenetic and without strict dominance, and at least 14 specific genes are involved such that you can't make any judgement of eye colour expectations from just the phenotype of the parents.

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

ACTUALLY I THINK THE WORD YOURE LOOKING FOR IS POLYGENIC THANK YOU

[@harmonheater4377]

Clothes and body adornments in general play a huge part in identity. Imagine your body and clothes as how you see yourself and your role in society.

[@dylanwestgarth9949]

Sepsis is such a scary thing to happen. I got it beginning of last year from pneumonia and we were lucky that we found it early an we were out of hospital within a couple of days

[@Vinnstar123]

I used to work at CEX and if someone would bring in 5 copies of a new movie on blu ray we would mark that person as a trader then start taking 20% off anything they would sell to us but we would still buy it in.

[@RaidoactiveBoy]

I had sepsis last month was a incredibly horrible experience, my lungs and guts just decided to die on me

[@samuelehret-pickett7983]

Interesting how they mention they think face masks will never be normal and worn in the streets. Times have changed

[@dc619]

RE: Harry's eyes. My parents both have brown eyes, I am the lone one in my family (2 siblings + me) to have Blue eyes. It can happen, even with the dominance.

[@Nealrex101]

no way corona started this long ago

[@Yawnybones]

I can't think of anything relevant to say but I still want to leave a comment.

[@OfficialMonarchy]

great chat

[@oheilthere]

60% of all retail theft is internal. So realistically eliminating employees balances out having no one there to watch for external shoplifting.

[@edswinbourne6649]

"You worried about this corona virus?"

[@MrAltissimo]

As someone who works assets protection for a major retail company there are a lot of thefts that occur on a daily basis. Even my coworkers who don’t deal with that end don’t recognize it, you’re not wrong about the people who are unfortunately addicted to drug use who do it as well.

[@PageAaron]

28:50 Ross: Sepis kills more than cancer Trott: nice

[@TheSwineFlu97]

Very much a rookie mistake for me to start eating during funny news

[@Dracoriax]

I guess you won't want to know that most estate agents take kickbacks from certain solicitors. I.E estate agents will slander solicitors they don't get a kickback from to bolster their own wallets.

[@whizzwhizzx3]

Does anyone get the feeling that Smith just always has to disagree with Trott and kind of, politely put him down? Like an old married couple?

[@PJBxx]

Smith loves nothing more than playing devil's advocate. He will endlessly argue points that he has no belief in whatsoever, just for the sake of disagreement.

[@beanboy8830]

Smith, there’s a book i had to read for uni called Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff. it’s a bit dense but i feel like you might find it interesting if you could find it anywhere or any articles about it. 👍

[@Seyshellois]

Nip thing: I think it’s because society teaches women to not draw a mans sexual interest, instead of teaching men to control sexual urges. Therefore women have to cover up or deal with men behaving inappropriately, while men usually don’t have to consider if women will react inappropriately to the way they are dressed. Sorry for the unprovoked feminism dudes :/

[@zephyrmop]

Completely disagree there friend. Women react inappropriately alot more than you would think, and it's portrayed a lot more in media (like adverts) as it's seen as OK for a woman to oggle a topless man. Plus most men can control their sexual urges, it's only a minority who resort to any kind of unwanted advances.

[@Seyshellois]

zephyrmop I agree that most men I meet are nice people who can control themselves,and that there are a lot of inappropriate women, but if we are talking about why womens nipples are scandalous - its because of a culture that goes back hundreds of years, not about what you and i personally exprerience. I think it’s because of religion has forced women to dress modestly, because it would make it easier for men to live a life that would get them into heaven. Yes, this isn’t as prevalent in our society today, but it still has lasting effects on our culture. Like how women are asked how they were dressed if they go to court for rape, and that teenagers showing a bare shoulder in school is “distracting” for male students

[@zephyrmop]

@@Seyshellois Yea I think you may be right about religion. Even showing too much arm/leg caused outrage 100 years ago. I think your two points you make is a good example of why nipples are still taboo in this age. I'm pointing my finger at the media stirring up the current 'worry' culture. E.g. A stupid person makes a rule about teenagers showing a shoulder being distracting, media makes story about the incident, the public see the story and react, media make another story about the public outcry, another stupid person implements the same rule, and so on. So TLDR, I can't see the nipple being normalised any time soon.

[@ci3xx]

Alan that blue shirt looks good on you.

[@pepaigea]

The take that Trott had that "China won't give the actual death numbers" is super sinophobic

[@Chapizard]

LucKy BaAbY 🤣

[@Notpoop906]

the idea for the Star Wars trillogy was ALWAYS to have THREE different directors. With JJ doing the first film. The only reason he came back for the third was because the 2nd movie was so awful and had zero continuity. I said from day one they would suck purely because three different directors =/= a good series of movies

[@gravnine]

damn I think alans onto something there with the whole amazon thing

[@sirBrouwer]

no this is not Alan. Alan is not at home. this is Alex.

[@Osfrie]

I thought JJ was only on to direct the first Star Wars film. I thought Disney was going to have a different director for each film? Then The Last Jedi screwed the pooch so JJ agreed to come back for the final film.
