In this chaotic and surreal episode of BudPod, Glenn Moore and Pierre Novellie dive into a stream of absurd, satirical, and deeply imaginative musings that blend pop culture, personal anecdotes, and fictional world-building. The episode opens with a playful call to vote for the podcast in the Golden Lobe Awards and a tongue-in-cheek ad for Wix, which leads to a hilarious story about Glenn doing a voiceover for Screwfix while pretending to be a rival company’s employee—complete with an ASMR-style whisper and a near-panic over being discovered. The hosts then spiral into a series of wildly imaginative scenarios: a steampunk Boeing 1 plane powered by coal, a gritty Bond reboot where Father Christmas is a Russian-present trafficker, and a bizarre football strategy involving 'bum hands' and cuphead goalkeepers. They riff on everything from misophonia and airline etiquette to the absurdity of internet fame, the ethics of the fish-man in The Shape of Water, and the psychological toll of being a 'Piano Billy'—a nickname born from a misheard radio intro. The episode culminates in a surreal Patreon heist concept involving Cafe Concerto and a birthday cake, all wrapped in a tone of joyful, unhinged absurdity.

The Screwfix Voiceover Heist

And so because I was so nervous that someone was going to work out that I was doing a voice for a rival company, I was like, I think the guy would be like muttering it under his breath.”
The Boeing 1: A Steampunk Nightmare
“People shoveling coal at the front of the plane. Most un-aerodynamic shape in the world. Massive chimneys. Fucking hell. They say she's unsinkable. Yeah, that's the least... What do you mean? So if we crash on the sea, we won't go down. Yes, yes. Exactly. We'll just explode. But on the surface.”
Father Christmas as Bond Villain
“Present trafficker and fey slaver. They call them fey, like in all those elf books. That old fey slaver. That's what people say about Father Christmas.”
