Episode 25: Eating It Like a Vulture

Summary: Here's a little longer-than-normal show to make up for the recent lapses in timeliness! In Episode 25, the DP boys hop on Skype to get the podcast done, but FRET NOT, dear listeners! Mat has a new laptop with a much-improved cooling system, so there's no buZZZZZZZzzzzzzzZZZZZ zzzzzzzZZZZzzzZZZZZZZ zzzzZZZZzzzzz any more! The only trouble is there's a bit of echo in the early part of the show but hey if you made it past Episode 22 - or even heard any part of that show - you've got absolutely nothing to worry about. Anyway, after discussing horses (and the recent Grand National horse race) for some reason, we hip hop right into Mat's Hip Hop Corner with his tweets of the week from various hip-hop luminaries and wannabes. Here's the official 18+ video Mat mentions, 'All Over the House' from the UK rapper Skepta. (SERIOUSLY NSFW (NOT SAFE FOR WORK) It's got lots of boobz in it, YouTube won't host the actual video as IT'S NSFW it so it's on another site. For some video grabs (rather than the full XXXXXX-worthy video - STILL NSFW), chiggity check it below. Skepta ft. Majestic & Shorty - All Over The House found on Hip-Hop (please note we're really not going to turn into a crappy porn-rap video review show! we have a little more class than that) Then we attempt to compare the US and UK hip-hop scenes. Which isn't all that funny so we cut that crap out. This might honestly be the last time we try the US/UK comparisons! But we contrast that with talking about Mat's really really white children. So it's all swings and roundabouts, as the Brits say.It just means 'things have a way of balancing themselves out, old chap, don't you know'.

And here's the haiku for Mat's upcoming semi-regular feature, The Whore Next Door: The whore is next door Less car spots, streams of strange men This is on Mat's street To see the sea shanty video that Mat is upset about, check this out:   And the light/ceiling fan cord pull is autographed and ready for the first person who donates to us and buys use a beer using the link to the left!
