WEBVTT

00:00:08.149 --> 00:00:10.830
Right, before we go. We have another bonus episode

00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:13.429
for Rob to push out. Oh, we're going to do this

00:00:13.429 --> 00:00:15.369
as two, so I just say before we go. Yeah, no,

00:00:15.429 --> 00:00:17.750
no, do this as a separate bonus. Okay, everyone,

00:00:17.910 --> 00:00:20.089
let's just pretend that I didn't say that because

00:00:20.089 --> 00:00:22.210
I'm not editing any of this. So this is the second

00:00:22.210 --> 00:00:25.929
day. Oh, what a lovely sleep. Oh, I'm so glad

00:00:25.929 --> 00:00:28.129
I've had some time to rest and recuperate after

00:00:28.129 --> 00:00:30.129
watching the Star Wars Holiday Special. Exactly.

00:00:30.170 --> 00:00:33.070
So Christmas Eve, hang on, did you release it

00:00:33.070 --> 00:00:34.990
on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? I've released

00:00:34.990 --> 00:00:39.259
it. Fair enough. So, have you ever had... It's

00:00:39.259 --> 00:00:41.259
like Sighting with Stranger Things. I'll release

00:00:41.259 --> 00:00:43.679
that one on the 26th, and then this can come

00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.820
out on the 1st. Well, have you ever had that

00:00:46.820 --> 00:00:48.659
moment where you've gone around and you've just...

00:00:48.659 --> 00:00:53.060
Oh, no, I forgot to do my advent calendar. Yeah.

00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:55.340
Oh, really? You have had that? Oh, fair enough.

00:00:55.380 --> 00:00:56.859
I've never had it because it's got chocolate

00:00:56.859 --> 00:00:59.280
in it. I literally haven't opened today's. Oh.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:01.859
I know, I meant you've forgotten to do the entire

00:01:01.859 --> 00:01:03.939
thing. Oh, no, no, no, no. Right, so anyway,

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.859
we've talked about in the past doing a, is it

00:01:07.859 --> 00:01:11.900
a TikTok hit or is it TikTok shit? Yeah. That's

00:01:11.900 --> 00:01:13.280
what we should have called it, really, isn't

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:14.560
it? TikTok hit or TikTok? No, we're going to

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.000
call it TikTok. I can't remember what we were

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:20.599
going to call it. Yeah, no, it did have swear

00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.099
words in it. This is why nothing that I have

00:01:23.099 --> 00:01:25.519
any involvement in ever gets good on the old

00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:30.659
charts. So the problem is there are so many scams

00:01:30.659 --> 00:01:35.939
on TikTok. And there's been an advent calendar

00:01:35.939 --> 00:01:40.920
scam. And I want you to see. So this has been

00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.200
in my house for about three weeks and I just

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:44.540
put it away because I didn't want to spoil it.

00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:46.739
Absolutely. So I'm going to hand it over to you.

00:01:46.780 --> 00:01:51.939
It is a 60th anniversary interstellar advent

00:01:51.939 --> 00:01:54.480
calendar. Interstellar fleet. Okay, so it's Star

00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.459
Trek. Oh, look at the ship. It's only got one

00:01:57.459 --> 00:02:00.599
nacelle. Yeah, so it's got one nacelle, so it's

00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.500
not even the Enterprise on it. It's the, not

00:02:03.500 --> 00:02:06.840
the Stargazer, but there was a ship with one

00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.360
nacelle. Now, describe, what do the characters

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.699
look like? They're like Funko Pops. They're like

00:02:11.699 --> 00:02:14.419
miniature Funko Pops, aren't they? Yeah, I don't

00:02:14.419 --> 00:02:16.759
know what this... And those genuinely exist.

00:02:17.219 --> 00:02:20.419
Since when was there two black female characters

00:02:20.419 --> 00:02:22.919
in the same series? I just think they've duplicated

00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.560
it with AI. Oh, it absolutely looks like an AI

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:30.069
-generated... So... It's a really tiny box. It's

00:02:30.069 --> 00:02:33.129
about half the size of a normal. Did you think

00:02:33.129 --> 00:02:36.289
this was going to be full size? No. Did you know

00:02:36.289 --> 00:02:38.409
this was going to be a scam? Yes. Did you know?

00:02:38.530 --> 00:02:41.349
I knew this was going to be a scam. Right. Because

00:02:41.349 --> 00:02:43.990
we were going to do this daily, but I'm. Yeah.

00:02:44.050 --> 00:02:46.889
So you look at it. You've already said it looks

00:02:46.889 --> 00:02:49.409
like you get looked with 3D Funko Pop sort of

00:02:49.409 --> 00:02:51.210
characters. I wonder what you do. And they're

00:02:51.210 --> 00:02:54.629
in the style of Star Trek characters. I mean.

00:02:54.909 --> 00:02:56.889
straight away you should know it's dodgy because

00:02:56.889 --> 00:03:00.189
the fact it's got no star trek writing on it

00:03:00.189 --> 00:03:03.009
at all it's interstellar fleet now it's clearly

00:03:03.009 --> 00:03:06.530
meant to be star trek well 60th anniversary as

00:03:06.530 --> 00:03:09.849
well well also as well you don't have to guess

00:03:09.849 --> 00:03:13.159
the numbers because it goes 1 to 24 just across

00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.180
the board. Yeah, it's not random. It doesn't

00:03:15.180 --> 00:03:17.039
give you the fun of that. So am I opening it

00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:19.300
day by day? I think just open the top and pull

00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:22.500
the sliding sheet out. Let's do one first. Okay.

00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.939
So this is like, I'm almost sure I know what's

00:03:26.939 --> 00:03:33.280
going to be in there. Oh, it's not. What? What?

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.520
There's three things in here. Yeah, there's not

00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.000
meant to be three things. There's only meant

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.099
to be one thing. Oh, it's... Oh, they're meant

00:03:41.099 --> 00:03:43.199
to be Christmas decorations, are they? Tiny little

00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.120
Christmas decorations. What they are is they're

00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.259
not the Funko Pops things. They're printed out

00:03:49.259 --> 00:03:53.259
and turned into plastic. If you bought the real

00:03:53.259 --> 00:03:58.080
Advent calendars, which do exist, you do get

00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.479
the proper 3D kind of little Funko Pop models.

00:04:00.819 --> 00:04:05.580
So that would have been the Vulcan salute. Yeah,

00:04:05.580 --> 00:04:08.800
you would have... The hand. Oh, man. They've

00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:10.819
literally put emojis in there as well, haven't

00:04:10.819 --> 00:04:14.719
they? And then this is... Oh, this is dreadful.

00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.740
Let's just open it. I was hoping it was going

00:04:17.740 --> 00:04:21.079
to be a little figure. Yeah, no. This is the

00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.939
scam. There was Pokemon ones. There was all sorts.

00:04:25.139 --> 00:04:27.560
And all these people's complaints are, I got

00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.339
it, and there's no characters in it. They're

00:04:29.339 --> 00:04:31.420
literally just flat pieces of plastic with paper

00:04:31.420 --> 00:04:33.579
stuck in them. What's funny is that they've all

00:04:33.579 --> 00:04:35.560
come out of their windows. Of course they have.

00:04:36.329 --> 00:04:38.610
So you could be like, I opened up three on the

00:04:38.610 --> 00:04:43.269
first day. One day just gets the string. Really?

00:04:44.110 --> 00:04:46.930
One day gets the string. Oh, my God. That's really

00:04:46.930 --> 00:04:49.230
disappointing. Oh, they're all in just one down

00:04:49.230 --> 00:04:51.730
here. Look. Yeah. And they're all that really

00:04:51.730 --> 00:04:54.189
shitty, just piece of paper stuck inside plastic.

00:04:54.430 --> 00:04:58.129
Oh, there's a Borg one. But how cool would it

00:04:58.129 --> 00:05:00.149
have been if it was the characters? But the reviews

00:05:00.149 --> 00:05:04.050
for it are hysterical. All these people literally

00:05:04.050 --> 00:05:06.889
moaning, I can't believe it. My Christmas has

00:05:06.889 --> 00:05:10.170
been ruined. You don't actually get the characters.

00:05:10.269 --> 00:05:13.490
You get really badly printed out plastic instead.

00:05:13.870 --> 00:05:15.829
Well, how much did they pay for it? Three pounds.

00:05:16.149 --> 00:05:17.470
And they actually thought it was going to be

00:05:17.470 --> 00:05:20.410
fixed. Exactly. If you're going to buy things

00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:25.410
on TikTok and it's three pounds, you're an idiot.

00:05:25.790 --> 00:05:27.449
Yeah, at some point you've got to take responsibility

00:05:27.449 --> 00:05:29.949
for your own fucking stupidity, don't you? Yes.

00:05:30.910 --> 00:05:35.810
Oh, okay, right. oh i've got a gold one does

00:05:35.810 --> 00:05:38.250
that mean i've got like a special edition i doubt

00:05:38.250 --> 00:05:40.550
it okay so there are two really good ones here

00:05:40.550 --> 00:05:43.449
right there's actually a good one no there's

00:05:43.449 --> 00:05:46.269
two there's a borg in a christmas hat and um

00:05:46.269 --> 00:05:52.670
what the hegemony guys what's the green oh um

00:05:52.670 --> 00:05:56.230
geth not the geth that's from fucking mass effect

00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.220
a sugar cane thing that they're the two good

00:06:06.220 --> 00:06:10.339
ones i mean thank you very much for spending

00:06:10.339 --> 00:06:14.779
um oh my god they really are they are really

00:06:14.779 --> 00:06:17.899
these are pretty fucking these are pretty fucking

00:06:17.899 --> 00:06:22.519
appalling oh my god anyone so they're ai they're

00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.199
100 percent ai they've gone into something like

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.139
gemini and said create me star trek inspired

00:06:29.139 --> 00:06:34.310
funko pop character is this a phaser Wrapped

00:06:34.310 --> 00:06:38.329
up. Yeah, that's a Christmas phaser. And again,

00:06:38.410 --> 00:06:41.389
you can tell it's heavily... It's AI because

00:06:41.389 --> 00:06:43.649
it's missing bits. Yeah, there's like a golden

00:06:43.649 --> 00:06:45.930
one. I've got like a golden captain or something.

00:06:46.089 --> 00:06:49.870
It's all gold. Okay, there's a snowman. I'm not

00:06:49.870 --> 00:06:52.009
sure how much relevance that does to Star Trek,

00:06:52.129 --> 00:06:56.430
but they're going to go in there. And put in

00:06:56.430 --> 00:06:57.970
the bin later. Probably go in the bin. I might

00:06:57.970 --> 00:07:02.930
keep the geth. The gorn. The gorn. The Borg,

00:07:02.970 --> 00:07:04.930
because they are actually quite sweet. I don't

00:07:04.930 --> 00:07:06.069
need the string. They're not going to get put

00:07:06.069 --> 00:07:07.850
up on anything. Oh, my God, no. They're going

00:07:07.850 --> 00:07:12.389
to go on the shelf of wonders as a kind of a

00:07:12.389 --> 00:07:14.850
nice memorial to this moment. But, yeah, the

00:07:14.850 --> 00:07:16.470
rest are going to go back in that box and go

00:07:16.470 --> 00:07:21.050
in the recycling. Yeah, they are bad. Well, happy

00:07:21.050 --> 00:07:22.769
Christmas. Yeah, happy Christmas. Thanks for

00:07:22.769 --> 00:07:25.860
that. It's late, as always. All these Christmas

00:07:25.860 --> 00:07:29.379
ones do go on. Oh, Jesus, yeah. It's 10 to midnight.

00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:33.120
Peek behind the curtain. Oh, hang on. One of

00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:37.519
them escaped. There's another Gorn. Oh, look

00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:39.120
at that. We can have one each. We can have a

00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.120
Gorn each. Oh, that's nice. That's lovely, isn't

00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:48.689
it? What a nice Christmas miracle. It's a Christmas

00:07:48.689 --> 00:07:53.730
miracle. Jesus brings you... Gorn and Borg. Jesus

00:07:53.730 --> 00:07:58.149
brings you water into wine and gives you fish

00:07:58.149 --> 00:08:03.170
and bread. And I materialise a second Gorn ornament.

00:08:04.230 --> 00:08:10.149
Just for you. And I'm just thinking, the Borg
