Britainology 85: Celebrity SAS—Who Dares Wins
Added 2024-06-26 22:28:15 +0000 UTCFor this month's first Britainology, we've watched the season of the military-themed and emphatically strange UK reality TV show "Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins," featuring....Matt Hancock. It's exactly what you think it is.

2024-06-28 21:14:22 +0000 UTClmao was also going to intervene on behalf of this genuinely good elevated underground banger. Sugababes have a weirdly high ceiling of quality made up of two or three songs for what is otherwise a deeply mediocre girl group.
Nah
2024-06-28 17:52:19 +0000 UTCI remember seeing him in Bar Med in Lincoln not long after Big Brother aired. Quite the celeb spot. Especially for Lincoln

2024-06-28 14:25:19 +0000 UTCMy favourite UK military story is when I was on a hike with the scouts up the Pen-Y-Fan and a bunch of troops were marching down, when the guy with the Javelin (probably a mock one but it looked pretty authentic) fell over and the drill sergeant type bloke said something like "stop showing off Jenkins"

2024-06-27 22:41:29 +0000 UTC"OK, but which period Sugababes?" as the jerk DJ in Phonogram once asked.
Andrew Davis
2024-06-27 20:37:24 +0000 UTCFort Boyard is originally a Québécois show and I promise the original is the weirdest version. I feel like if Milo knew it’s origins he would have a field day.

2024-06-27 16:43:43 +0000 UTCI wonder how Fred Dibnah would have fared...

2024-06-27 15:50:50 +0000 UTCToday on Trash Gear: Riley does a detailed analysis of the BOM of the Cybertruck; November gets a driver license, Milo has to find a Tire Guy good enough to change low profile tires on BMW rims, Hussein takes a leisurely ride on the subway, Nate reminisces on how incredibly large pickup trucks are getting at home in Indiana, and more!

2024-06-27 15:19:32 +0000 UTCAs a former enlisted soldier assigned to 2/72 Armor, 2ID, Camp Casey, I can 100% confirm what Nate had to say about the bullshit.
The Project Project
2024-06-27 15:18:25 +0000 UTCSoulwax shout out! I saw them open for Therapy? in Manchester back in 1998 if I recall correctly. I still enjoy playing people "Conversation Intercom" and watching them realize what a banger it is.

2024-06-27 15:10:03 +0000 UTCI came to mention this, that Freak Like Me cover was an inspired mash up in my opinion.

2024-06-27 15:09:00 +0000 UTCoutta context but I was watching some Car Youtube drama and it gave me an idea: Trashfuture should sell itself to a Private Equity Media Firm, as a prank. TF should be forced augment gross revenue by 173% yoy and hire MBA Jeff at the position of Head VC of Business Solutions.

2024-06-27 14:38:27 +0000 UTCAs a fun tidbit from the celeb SAS before the one discussed on this ep: Katie Price was on it and ended up getting kicked off quite early in the process. I worked on it and was there not long after this happened after a producer came into the room and shouted “Who signed off on giving Katie Price her full fee?!?!” which, for 18 hours of work, was £180,000

2024-06-27 14:01:58 +0000 UTCIt’s little known, but Desert Phase was actually originally Deseret Phase, where recruits had to memorise the entire Book of Mormon
Max Johansson
2024-06-27 13:54:02 +0000 UTCSub cancelled for Sugababes slander 🙅🏻 (also "Freak Like Me" was originally a bootleg mash-up of the titular Adina Howard song with Gary Numan's "Are Friends Electric?" - Adina didn't give permission for her vocals to be used to the producer got Sugababes v2.0 to re-record them)
Alex
2024-06-27 13:24:21 +0000 UTCThat happened in, like, 2000 - can't speak for Nate but Milo would have been a child.

2024-06-27 12:03:46 +0000 UTCHow do you guys not remember Nasty Nick from Big Brother 1?
Jacob Barlow
2024-06-27 10:32:00 +0000 UTCShort guy with accent they couldn't pinpoint is from the North East
Adam Barker-wyatt
2024-06-27 10:01:40 +0000 UTCNasty Nick was on the first series of Big Brother. He was a strange cultural phenomenon as way after he was forgotten by the general public he would be used as a cultural reference by people like Andrew O’Neil.

2024-06-27 00:36:36 +0000 UTCJust browsed phone PSN store app new releases, wondering how relevant the official Fort Boyard game apparently released today was supposed to be, having not thought or seen anything about it in bloody years. Then seconds after losing interest and moving on, you guys brought it up too - Now while the relevance is still unknown, these are two things, two rare things at same time! Clearly not mere coincidence!

2024-06-26 23:21:49 +0000 UTCI am not comfortable with the soggy Hancock
Will Hitchcock
2024-06-26 23:05:51 +0000 UTCCan we get a Britainology on the series “Ripping Yarns”? I want Milo to tell us how accurate the depiction is to his memory of school.
