Hello everyone and welcome back to the Stupid Opinion of Teenagers podcast series dots.
Series two, series duo?
I think that's two, isn't it?
In one of the languages.
Anyway, we're back and wow, it's been a long break.
Too long.
A long, long break.
Too long.
We're sorry, but we had casting issues, not casting issues, a lot of personal issues.
School.
Yeah, exams, and then we decided one day, boom, we're back.
We're going to do this and cool.
Just want to say I'm not in the old recording place where I usually do it.
I'm not with my computers and everything.
I've got my iPad.
I've got my AirPods in and recording in a hotel room right now from a long trip across
the Pacific Ocean.
Yeah, so now I'm chilling in a nice hotel.
Yeah.
After a long night, long, long trip.
Anyway.
But wow, we're back.
Yeah.
It feels amazing.
Honestly, well, and just so everyone knows, it is just now me, Jemima and Will, we are
like, we're the main ones now.
We're going to, it's mainly just going to be us two.
Obviously we're still going to get special guests on because everyone loves the special
guests, but generally we are the two main presenters now.
No one else for just some reasons that just some technical difficulties.
But yeah, it's just us two.
So yeah, I hope you don't mind that.
We all know Mike, Man, Dylan.
Yeah.
And of course, he'll be back as a special guest.
It's just, there's loads of complications.
And of course, everyone who's been on before has a chance to come back again.
So if you liked them, you didn't like them.
Well, if you didn't like them, give us a shout and then maybe they won't come back.
Yeah, but that's kind of that bit.
Week, how's your long week gone?
Oh, it is gone.
Pretty good from what I remember.
School feels a long time ago now.
I don't even remember.
I think it was dull, to be honest.
Yeah, it was, I don't think the lessons were too inspirational really.
We're like a few weeks after getting our exam results back, we're near the end of term.
So everyone's just kind of giving up and the teachers are giving up.
And it's all just a bit pointless in my opinion.
But yeah, we have what do we have left of school now?
Will one and a half weeks, two weeks, something like that.
Yeah, it's something like that.
Let me see.
I haven't one calendar.
We break up on the 13th of July.
So quite soon, quite soon.
Yeah, quite soon.
Yeah.
One and a half weeks then.
Yeah, one and a half.
Right.
So yeah, but my week has been okay.
Bit dull, but I am just so happy to get this podcast back.
That has got my week right up.
Will, how's your week been?
Thank you.
Yeah.
It's been quite dull to start off with probably, like you said, school's kind of boring.
We can learn.
It's been quite interesting.
What did I do in the South?
Nothing.
Exactly.
That's what I did.
I slept in.
I was going to wake up early and I was like, I don't want to just lie in for a few more
minutes.
How do you know?
I was two hours later.
Yeah, I was still in bed.
And I was like, no, no, I'm going to stay in the long run.
And then, yeah, I stayed into what, Penn something.
Oh, sorry.
I'm a nice lion, got up, did my stuff.
And then, it was a good day.
It was a good day.
My door's rattling a lot.
And then today, it's been different.
We're running, we're now Pokemon Go hunting.
Oh, and I did a few map business.
You wouldn't understand, guys.
We'll go into that one another day.
But I've been map building today on COP D, holiday special.
Yeah, that's it.
Yeah.
Cool.
Right.
Well, we've explained why we went breaks.
If you guys really want, just drop a comment in Instagram or anywhere else.
If you want more presenters, want more guests, or just complain, or give us good positive
feedback, constructive feedback, is that what it's called?
Yeah.
Cool.
And lastly, listener stories, we're back.
So if you've got any, send them in.
Yes, that reminds me.
Right.
I'm going to go scour down the downstairs, see if I can find what I'm looking for.
Yes.
And you think we're introducing, it's going to be a thing.
Jemima, you're going to have to kind of talk, explain why we're gone, do whatever you want.
Okay.
All right.
So everyone, once again, we're really, really sorry that we went, but as we said, a lot
of difficulties.
But there's been some exciting things going on during the break.
We've had score results back, exam results.
For me, they went pretty good, actually, better than expected.
For the person that once called us not the brightest, you'll be pleased to know that
in my RS exam, I got 92%.
So thank you.
And obviously I'm joking.
Fair enough.
That's fair enough.
We are sometimes a bit not the smartest people, but then again, we are just teenagers and
it, yeah.
Yep.
And what else has been going on?
Oh, well, I'm actually, yeah.
Well, yeah, I'm leaving the school, which me and Will currently attend, but don't worry
because that's not going to affect the podcast whatsoever.
It's going to probably make it better because me and Will won't see each other as much.
So we'll have more to discuss.
It'll be more exciting for you guys because you'll have two different types of topics
from two different schools.
So that's going to be good.
Yeah.
And then the rest of this podcast, we've got some good stuff coming up.
So that's really exciting.
We've got some good questions actually that if you disagree with some of the stuff we
say, make sure to put it on the Instagram and say your opinion because they're debate
type questions.
And me and Will are really just going to be waffling on about a load of rubbish when we
say these things, to be honest, and trying to make sense of these very wacky questions.
So if you have any other ideas, be sure to let us know and we'll shout your ideas out
on the next podcast.
And yeah, I'd also like to say, if you don't already know the Instagram that we already
go, we always go on about, it is the underscore stupid underscore opinion underscore of underscore
teenager.
That's it.
It has a lot of posts.
We post about what we're going to be.
We post them like we're going to like start putting some sneak peeks and stuff, some little
teasers for what's to come on the Instagram.
So you definitely want to follow that to get get ready to like some some behind the scenes
and stuff we've got.
We've got a lot planned for the Instagram.
That's really exciting.
And yeah, oh, well, Joe's is coming back.
He's ready to go.
Oh, no, he's not ready to go.
Never mind.
Don't you worry, everyone.
Yeah, I am.
I will.
Okay, I'm back now.
Bear in mind, these are, you know, what's coming to you.
You want to know how old these are.
But well, we haven't actually explained what we're doing.
So just not say, yeah.
Okay.
May 18th.
These are from May the 18th last year.
Or this.
No, no, this this year, maybe three months.
I had a compromise and I have it all on this little tablet thing.
Okay.
Right.
We're going to start off with sport.
Well, each week, hopefully, or each.
We don't know how many episodes we'll be doing a week yet, but each Friday, let's say, or
each whatever day, we will be doing a newspaper read.
So newspaper, we see what's the big, big name, big front cover.
And we see a few interesting topics in it.
If you like it, you don't like it, say, we'll change it or we will keep it.
Let's start off with a sport this week.
And well, no, it is this week.
I got this.
Forget me.
It's fine.
Right.
It's fine.
On the floor.
Sorry, Ron.
Sorry.
Right.
Good.
Well, continue to build rebuild that midfield signing a 60 million pound Mofilda from RB
Leipzig.
I think it's 60 million.
I'm pretty sure it was 70.
But this is this is three hours ago.
So it definitely could have changed.
So you're Jürgen Klopp, the German manager for Liverpool has made his second summer signing
Alexis Moccas the first and Dominic Sabozlai, who is a Hungarian international, a top class
player played for RB Leipzig last season.
Jemima, you probably know what Moflis is all about.
But I'm trying to get into it.
Yeah.
I like that attitude.
And as he has understood that he has signed a five year deal, which is quite small comparison
to Chelsea's eight year deals and trying to get away with FFA, FFF, FPF, whatever it's
called financial fair play rules.
There you go.
But he's 22 years old.
He's a very young prospect.
Can we keep in mind that Liverpool signed Alexis Moccas for only 35 million, which is
a bargain deal, an absolute bargain deal.
He is a top class midfielder, arguably Brighton's best player last season, depends on what team
he's in.
I'm quite biased.
There you go.
Let's move it on.
Do you want England sport?
Cricket?
Yeah.
Cricket.
Yeah.
Just itching my ear.
Okay.
Ben Stokes, top, top, top, top, cricketer, I think.
Isn't he?
Yes.
I think he is.
I think he's a batter.
I'm pretty sure he's a good batter, but I'm not quite up to date, but I'm pretty sure
he is.
Okay.
Yeah.
Understood.
Well, he came on, how many hours ago?
He came on earlier today, I'm pretty sure, and said that he wouldn't want England to
win like that after the controversial Johnny Bairstow dismissal.
So it looks like there was a controversial wicket which saw England take the win.
Pretty sure.
Or saw Australia to win.
No idea.
I don't watch the cricket.
I'm pretty sure it's Australia.
Yeah.
Oh, it's Australia.
England are knocked out of the ashes, I think.
Oh, well then, Australia.
I think they just got knocked out.
Don't take my word for that, everyone listening.
I'm really sorry if I just offended anyone.
I just have an older brother, so he tells me these things, not that I particularly know
what he's on about.
So, yeah.
Understood.
Okay.
Yeah.
Fair enough.
I, again, don't watch the cricket either.
I just kind of just all watch the cricket.
I don't know.
I'm just kind of just all...
It's just, I find cricket quite boring, to be honest.
Fair enough.
Controversial opinion, though, Will.
Yeah.
Where was this article, which I really was intrigued by?
I don't think we really need an article.
It's kind of just in my head now.
Saudi Arabia and football.
They've done it.
No, India, I'm pretty sure, did it with cricket.
That's what my teacher told me.
How Saudi Arabia brought literally all the cricket players or whatever and made cricket
their game.
Football is now turning into like that.
China, the MLS have tried it.
Those two have tried it.
They haven't really worked.
Saudi are now on their way to glory.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante, even the likes of Jota from Celtic are heading
there at the age of 24, 22, are heading there.
And that's crazy.
Saudi really want to get their game.
They want to get to 2030, I'm pretty sure.
They want to get the next World Cup at Saudi Arabia.
Just far enough, Ronaldo even said that in five years, this league is the one to watch.
Well, can you argue with them?
Look at Saudi.
They have the money.
They're spending it.
I want to say I disagree with it.
Do you mind, Will?
What's your opinion?
Do you think a country can just buy their way into football?
No, I honestly don't.
Obviously, you need the players.
I mean, yeah, obviously they can buy the players, but I don't know.
I think you can in a way buy yourself in, but it's then again, even if you do, when
it's not going to be the same glory as if you properly earn it, even if they do end
up winning the World Cup, they're just they're going to be like, oh, we only want it because
we paid however much.
So I don't think they'll even get the same glory.
So obviously, it's fine to pay a bit.
Every club does have to pay to get players.
That's just the nature of football.
But I do.
I don't think that they can just buy it.
No, but then again, that's just my opinion.
That's not necessarily right.
No, I got to say I agree because the wages they're offering these players are ridiculous.
Hundreds of millions a year.
They were just set for life like that.
They're just set for life.
I mean, it's crazy.
I'm wondering if after the World Cup, are somebody going to continue their spending
spray?
Are they just going to leave it like that?
They'll just give up.
They'll win it.
And then they'll just be like, we're done.
Personally being a Premier League, absolute Premier League fan, I'm hoping they give up
after the World Cup and just stop this spending spray of madness.
But I don't know what's wrong.
There was some random rumour that they can offer the Premier League something and then
they would have to take it and then all clubs would kind of merge into a Saudi.
I don't know.
But it's quite scary for just a Premier League watcher.
But I will definitely be watching the Saudi League next year.
That will be very interesting.
Right.
We will move very quickly onto a non-sport related topic because we all want to mix it
up, of course.
This happened.
This was announced ages ago.
But we should probably dig into it.
What's it announced ages ago?
Or what is it?
Oh, you don't watch it do you?
Mock the Week.
What?
No, I don't know what you're on about.
The show?
No.
Right.
OK.
No.
So for anyone who doesn't watch Mock the Week, it's a comedy show.
It's like a... what are those shows when you're like going about comedy?
It's pointless, but it's not like a show.
It's not like a game show.
But it's like a... it's not reality.
It's not that.
It's the other one.
I know what you're talking about.
Oh well.
They all go there and they talk about rubbish and make it funny.
And obviously...
That's what it is.
Chaps show.
OK.
Well, they obviously discontinued the show a while back now, I think.
And it's quite sad because it's a very, very funny show.
I'd recommend you go watch it on BBC Islet.
It's there a lot.
It's a very good show.
It's got Dara Oh... something?
I don't know his name, but the larger, bold man.
He's very funny.
He's got a book out, so I'll go to books.
It's a really good show.
I recommend you watch it.
But they discontinued the show.
I don't know the reason why, but it's been going on for absolutely donkey's years.
I mean, I remember Dara having hair, pieces of hair, because he's bold now, and it was
brown and grey.
So, I mean, wow.
It was going on for ages.
And he was so thin back then.
I'm sorry.
I'm drifting and waffling around with it.
I know it's a really good show.
I recommend you watch it.
Anyway, let's move on to random questions.
I'm sorry we dragged on with the newspaper for quite a while, but now we've got something
spicy up.
Do you mind?
Take it away.
All right.
So these questions are a bit... they're random, a bit questionable.
They're up for debate, which is why we're going to do it, because we think they're very
funny and, you know, this is a comedy podcast.
So, you know, okay, well, are you ready?
If peanut butter wasn't called peanut butter, what would it be called?
I think it would be called...
Well, if peanut butter wasn't called peanut butter, you're looking at this like maroon
kind of spread.
Maroon is brown.
Maroon is like a purple.
Oh, yeah.
No, yeah, you're right.
Mostody kind of look.
What do I call it?
Mustard nut.
Yeah, yeah.
But it's not mustard.
Okay.
Brownie nut.
Brownie nut, okay.
Brownie nut, yeah.
I would have a bit of brownie.
No, I can't.
I'm allergic to nuts.
Yeah.
I personally would call it like frozen paste.
Because peanut butter has a lot of protein, yeah?
Protein paste.
It's like a paste and you paste it on your toast and you eat it and you've got a little
protein kit.
Ah, okay, yeah, I'll give you that one.
That's a good one.
Okay.
How many chickens would it take to kill an elephant?
Oh, very big.
These little chickens.
I'm looking at it right now.
The size is not that big.
And they're not very violent.
They're not very violent.
So they couldn't pet you to kill you.
You'd have to pet really aggressively.
I would have either as a cage, which would fit an elephant.
Does it matter what size this elephant is?
Could it be a baby?
Is it a full size?
Full sized elephant.
Full sized.
Yeah.
Right.
Full size.
Okay.
Put him in a very tight cage.
Very tight cage.
This is not, there's no ideas.
Please don't give animal cruelty to anything.
Don't take any ideas like that.
No.
Just saying.
Because I'm an absolute adorer of animals.
I would put animals before humans if it was to me.
But that's another conversation for another day.
But I would put them in a cage and then put all the little chickens right up to the, so
they're all tight and then they will be all startling.
The elephant, he doesn't get startled because he's a big man, you know, woman elephant.
He's like, she's like, they're like, we're not, we're not scared because that's just,
those are a robot.
You know, but yeah, these, these chickens are all startled and then they pick them up.
Their legs come down.
It kills a few chickens, but still more scuttling around.
The farmer lets more chickens in.
They climb on top of him.
That's really gory.
You never actually answered the question about how many chickens it would take.
Oh, oh.
Oh, gee.
296.
I'm saying way more than that.
I'm saying 647.
If you think of it, an elephant is massive and it's like so heavy.
Yeah.
These chickens are human and pick up a chicken in one hand.
Yeah.
And they're, they just pack tiny.
If you think about how strong the elephant is, it's going to take so long for the chicken
to peck at it.
There's going to be so many of them all pecking in one area just to even like get a bit of
a wound on it.
You know?
Well, I've just looked it up and the estimate is the lowest, the least would be 2,207 chickens.
That's the least.
Oh my gosh.
We're really far off.
Wow.
People even, they could say 10,000 chickens.
That's the max.
Goodness me.
Well, we didn't do very well in that, did we?
Well, we didn't.
Next question.
Okay.
If animals could talk, which would be the rudest?
Right.
Well, I, I would say a monkey or chimpanzee.
Okay.
Yeah.
Was it like, ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like that.
Okay.
Yeah.
I, I think rudest or I think I would say a rhinoceros because if you look at a rhinoceros,
they just, they just, they don't give you a nice friendly look.
Like if you look at like a hamster or a cat or a dog, they, they have quite a nice friendly
face.
You look at a rhinoceros and they just look like they're about to attack you.
Yes, but remember you can't tell a sausage by its shiny skin.
Sorry?
You can't tell a book by its cover.
You can't tell a sausage by its shiny skin.
I can never imagine that.
You may look grumpy, but inside you may be like, okay.
Yeah.
Fair point.
All right.
Okay.
I'm not going to eat it.
Yeah.
All right.
Now this, this last one, very controversial.
Do you think you eat or drink soup?
Yeah.
Okay.
Eat or drink soup.
Is this personal preference or your opinion?
Well what do you believe?
Depends on the day really.
I'm not going to put a bit of teeth in it and kind of suck it up.
Or sometimes I just go, no, no, no, I eat soup.
Yeah.
No, because the thing is, is other than hot chocolate or like a tea and people don't really
drink tea, who is like getting a spoon and spooning it to drink it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
You eat soup.
Yeah.
Because it's like actual food.
It's like tomatoes and basil.
It's blended in there.
Yeah.
And some soup has like chicken chunks.
Like you wouldn't put chicken chunks in a drink, would you?
That's disgusting.
No.
I'm saying food.
Food it is.
Right.
Any opinions?
Come challenge us.
Yeah.
We're here to challenge you back.
Do you think you're definitely not drinking?
Anyway, is that it with the question?
Yeah.
What do you know?
Well, I just wanted to bring up a few stories that have happened.
Since the old things and since the old break of the podcast.
Yeah.
Why?
I wanted to bring up because this has always been a little thing I've thought about for
a while.
And Edie's gone to a few parties with some boys.
No, nothing to.
That's my sister by the way.
She's gone to parties, blah, blah, blah.
But let me tell you, boys, young boys are absolute fudging psychos.
Absolute psychos.
Are they?
Absolutely crazy.
My goodness, one of those bouncy cars instead of bouncing around like you do as a child,
these few lads, these boys, these mates decided to go and do a USC, whatever you call it,
boxing fight, boom, boom, boom on the trampoline.
The girls are screaming.
It's every source loud and my Lord, it's getting quite ugly.
God, they don't want to enjoy the party.
They just want to go like, you know, a bit of fire.
I know.
You want to do it as a boy, yeah, but come on, bounce on a bouncy car.
I wish I could do that now.
I really do.
I miss those days, you know?
I really do miss those days.
Like, I don't know.
Okay, I know you want to, as a dad, you want to go like, son, be a man, really man up.
Okay, really be that man in the house to protect your children from danger and stuff in the
future.
This is what I've been told.
But you tell your son, you go, instead of namby-pamby around, look at the butterflies,
counting birds, whatever you do, you want to go poop in a boy's beer or get your brother,
give him a wedgie.
That's what the dads kind of give you on the face.
Give your dads, give your sons advice.
Right.
Give them a little poo in the beer cup.
Yeah.
How does this have anything to do with the boys in the boxing match on the bouncy castle?
I'm trying to go to that.
Sorry, I just lost where I was.
That little notification popped up.
That was annoying.
Right, and I understand why boys really want to box.
It's kind of like what their dads are telling them to really become that kind of boxing
now weightlifting, press up, all that mumbo jumbo.
And I understand because you want to be that strong muscular man.
I know I'm joining on.
You are.
But to get to my point, I really just want to dig into the story.
I understand boxing.
I understand why you would fight.
That's kind of it.
Right, inspirational Will.
Thank you.
Yeah, sorry.
One more little story.
Oh, God, yes.
Off you go.
Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Just checking.
One morning, I woke up.
This was a few weeks ago, three weeks ago.
And I wake up, it's only me in the house.
Everyone's gone out for the day.
It's late, get up.
I had breakfast, had a shower.
And then I walk into the living room.
You wouldn't believe it.
The French windows are open and there are dog prints everywhere.
Dog prints, mud, everywhere.
I'm like, oh my Christ.
Oh my Lord.
I'm going to have to clean this up.
Oh, I'm going to get absolutely dug into the ground.
Never dig dug up again.
I'm in trouble.
Sorry.
I took my days out in my day.
Cleaned up for hours and everyone got back late in the evening.
And so I did all of this.
It was infuriating.
Cleaning up every little splodge.
Really digging into that carpet like Play-Doh, mumbling it.
Play-Doh, doh, doh, Play-Doh, doh, doh.
The old days.
Loved it.
Thank you.
I had to do that.
It took me hours to get it clean.
Yeah.
And I just felt at the end, at the end of this whole thing, why wouldn't you just let
your dog have a massive shite in your living room?
Why don't we just let dogs poo in the house?
Right.
I'm singing.
Right.
Let me interrupt this story.
Are you talking about like a cat in a litter tray?
Or are we just talking on the floor?
No, I'm just meaning just dump the thing on the floor that's smudged into that carpet.
I'll tell you why.
Because if, right, take the carpet, yeah, it gets smudged in.
That smell is not leaving the carpet.
That is going to be lingering in your house for at least three days.
Dogs poo at least what?
Two, three times a day, is it?
Around that?
Maybe a bit less.
Yeah.
Right.
They do that three times a day.
Every day per week.
And it takes like two days to clean, like the smell to go.
Your house would smell like a sewage pipe.
Well, that's why don't let dogs poo in the house.
Because the smell would be so revolting, you wouldn't even be able to live in your own house.
You'd have to dedicate the whole house to the dog.
Yeah.
So that's your point now.
That's your point.
I think to end it off, actually, I'll go grab it.
I'll be literally 30 seconds.
Why don't we end it with a listener story.
A listener story.
Now, everyone, as we said, we love the listener stories.
Keep them coming in, whatever type, literally anything at all we will read.
Because listener stories are our favourite part of the podcast.
As well as listener stories, you can always send in like questions you have for us.
Like, we don't really get that, but we'd be happy to answer a lot of questions.
People don't really send them in very often.
We've only ever answered one or two.
But anything really, obviously nothing strange.
I mean, yeah, nothing too personal.
But we'll answer things.
We'll answer things.
Because, you know, me and Will, we're interesting people.
We've got a lot to say about a lot of things.
So, you know, questions are always, yeah, they're always good.
They're always good.
Right.
Okay.
Right. Okay.
Let's end it with a listener story.
Oh, my God.
It's been too long.
Oh, my gosh, Will.
You're turning this podcast into a musical.
At least 20 things.
I'm just a jury.
Right.
Dancing with the fairies, there will and Jemima.
Skip it.
I'm sorry, we love you.
I hope you enjoy this story.
And this is the thing is the only interesting thing that happened to me in my life.
I saw Fireflies for the first time.
I told my children, children that they were fairies and we danced with them.
And the public gave us a scared look.
Oh, they have grown up and still do it to their children.
Oh, that's sweet.
The memories.
Sometimes when I'm out strolling in the nature, I see a single Firefly.
Flip by.
Firefly.
Flip by.
