Playing baseball with turkeys

·33 min·3 clips

Jamie Oliver once coached a kid to say 'chicken stir fry, yo' to build confidence—but why does everyone hate him?

Luke Moore and Pete Donaldson open with a humorous anecdote about Jamie Oliver trying to build a child's confidence by having them say 'chicken stir fry, yo.' They debate why Jamie Oliver is disliked despite his efforts to improve school dinners. The hosts mention Prince Andrew's loss of royal titles, comparing it to public figures being mocked. They share personal stories about parenting fatigue and early wake-ups with toddlers. The discussion turns to Halloween experiences, including trick-or-treating and a church party where police questioned a man dressed as Poe from Teletubbies. They revisit Jamie Oliver's campaign against turkey Twizzlers, noting Bernard Matthews discontinued them in 2005. A dark revelation follows about Bernard Matthews workers playing baseball with live turkeys. The hosts joke about home freezers and workout rooms with meat hooks. After a break, they talk about the horror film 'The Terrifier 3' being banned in France due to audience reactions. They praise Stephen King's immense success, listing his famous novels like 'Carrie' and 'The Shining,' and mention rumors he wrote some books while on cocaine. They compare King to Dean Koontz, noting Koontz's wig and lesser fame. The conversation touches on Larry David's residuals from 'Seinfeld' and UK vs. US comedy preferences. They discuss piracy in streaming and watching new TV shows like 'Welcome to Derry.' A historian debunks the myth of pirate accents, attributing it to Robert Newton's performance in the 1950 film 'Treasure Island.' The episode concludes with the battery robot segment, where listeners submit batteries like 'Faden' and 'Wilma,' but none are new players.
