Segments

TimestampSegmentNotes
0:11:27Dutch WatchThey don't actually name the segment - the phrase they lead in with is “visit the Netherlands”. No blackface at Volendam's Sinterklaas arrival party this year - https://nltimes.nl/2022/10/20/blackface-volendams-sinterklaas-arrival-party-year

0:29:20Scam WatchIncluded against Ben's ethical code: Meta's Metaverse is falling short of expectations, one year on from Facebook rename. There's a lot of discussion of VR and metaverses in general, not just the Meta disaster zone.

Episode Notes

Lucy disappears shortly before the end “Her computer exploded”. Ben relives his annoyance at making people cocktails towards the end of the intro. Andrew pulls back the dry, or not audibly wet, curtain at 19m. Theo has an anecdote about getting scared reading about a film. Andrew was very snappy on all the segues until the last one where he gets segue constipation (around 28m)
