Britainology 85: Celebrity SAS—Who Dares Wins

For 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.

Britainology 85: Celebrity SAS—Who Dares Wins

oh yeah such a good song! insanely weird band too

Trashfuture

lmao 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

I remember seeing him in Bar Med in Lincoln not long after Big Brother aired. Quite the celeb spot. Especially for Lincoln

Stuart Harrison

My 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"

Erin Taylor

Really standout Andrew Tate impression 10/10

Coconut Crab

Wow lads, really delivered a late-ep treat pour les francophones ✂️

Shivvy

Garden variety corruption is an invasive species across the planet. Do your part to uproot and slay it.

Milo would make a joke about the equitable lagoon or the tarpeian rock and get thrown in the pool

FishTank

"OK, but which period Sugababes?" as the jerk DJ in Phonogram once asked.

Andrew Davis

Fort 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.

Brian

I wonder how Fred Dibnah would have fared...

Grumpy Bowlart

Today 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!

As 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

Soulwax 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.

Then they can all do a staff drag race contest and the top dog in charge can dominate in his expensive EV.

Slazenger Kincaid

I came to mention this, that Freak Like Me cover was an inspired mash up in my opinion.

Slazenger Kincaid

outta 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.

As 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

Dan

It’s little known, but Desert Phase was actually originally Deseret Phase, where recruits had to memorise the entire Book of Mormon

Max Johansson

Sub 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

That happened in, like, 2000 - can't speak for Nate but Milo would have been a child.

Ros Ballinger

How do you guys not remember Nasty Nick from Big Brother 1?

Jacob Barlow

Short guy with accent they couldn't pinpoint is from the North East

Adam Barker-wyatt

Nasty 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.

Lauren Bird

why do you need to learn to climb a rope as a paratrooper? youre supposed to go down not up!!!

Lain of the Wired

Saipan mentioned holy shit

Colin English

"It doesn’t make you gay if you think Rudy is hot, we all think he’s hot"

Gonk_God

Just 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!

Overzealous Euthanasiast

SEAL was a pretty close guess for the American instructor, it's Rudy Reyes of Generation Kill fame

Andrew Cumming

I am not comfortable with the soggy Hancock

Will Hitchcock

Can 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.
