"Sorry, which one of us is the voice of reason in this?" I had to pause the video, and I cackled like a maniac for probably a full minute. No other line so perfectly sums up the trajectory of their content over the years.
You guys are absolutely incredible, every time I see a new simons peculiar portions pop up in my feed my week gets instantly better. Never stop being your amazing selfs and thank you for all you do. “I am dave! Yognaught and I have the balls”
“The iBex.” “Was it made by Apple?” Lewis that joke was phenomenal! LOL! 10:52 Simons face of “The fuck is he going on about now?” while also dying inside is just hilarious! Simon shouting at his crotch sent me but the part where Simon drops the, “That’s the Diggy Hole man, son.” sent me into TEARS!! LMAO! Simon and Lewis were just super crazy this episode and I’m here for it!! Hahahaha!
maybe absence truly does make the heart grow fonder, but I think this might be the best episode yet Just 10 minutes in and we've got - 90s tech podcast - goat 2.0 - robot that apparently says "I am an idiot" - "Dogo...mage it" at 10:00 - Apple made a goat
These guys were my childhood. I hope i get to build a gang of friends and do youtube together like you have done. even tho a few pieces fell apart its still legendary
I would like to establish one rule with these robotics engineers: If it can't move on its legs at least half as fast as an average person, no one gives a fuck. There's all these videos of them showing off their "super advanced state of the art robots" and they're all just slow, clumsy fucks that are impressing no one. Yes, I know getting legs done right is super difficult in robotics, but it's like showing off a rocket to space that can only go 10 feet in the air. I know it's not the easiest to get to space, but we need a bit more than that before I'm impressed, you know?
Simon: "There's lights that flash on it apparently" Lewis: "What's the point of THIS?" Simon: "So people can see it coming in the dark I guess?" lmao that was an underrated joke
The 2 year period before iPods was when portable CD players that could play mp3CDs were popular. At least in North America where minidisc never caught on. I used to love having 14 hour CDs. And no, portable cd players don't usually skip. 45 second anti-shock took care of that. EDIT: Smashing Pumpkins album with a different track order? It was probably Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness and was using the vinyl track order. And yes, that track order had 2 exclusive songs ("Tonight Reprise" and "Infinite Sadness").
I was at a rock festival a few years back and, while SP were playing, there was a beer vendor with two chicks dancing on him. The whole crowd was watching this dude grind on these topless chicks and not the band. To be fair I was too.
The cheaper ones could barely play while walking at a faster pace, and obviously he's talking about what was popular in his area, not some place across the ocean. Not trying to argue, it's just that the way you worded it makes it seem like you're correcting him :D
Hey I remember at least one tech show from the 90s! The only part I remember is when they tested out home remedies for removing fingerprints from CRT monitors. One co-host said ranch salad dressing worked surprisingly well in her testing while the other said he'd rather just have a salad with the smudged monitor.
Please.... PLEASE Make a "Wiz Kidz" podcast. Talk about 80-1999 technology. But act like it's indeed that time. So, nothing past 2000 exist. I want Genuine excitement over a no-skip walkman.
Ingestion of avocado (Persea americana) has been associated with development of myocardial necrosis in mammals and birds and with sterile mastitis in lactating mammals. Cattle, goats, horses, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, sheep, budgerigars, canaries, cockatiels, ostriches, chickens, turkeys, and fish are susceptible to these conditions after avocado ingestion. Caged birds seem more sensitive to the effects of avocado, whereas chickens and turkeys seem more resistant. Although a single case report exists of two dogs developing myocardial damage after avocado ingestion, dogs seem relatively resistant compared with other species.
Simon's rendition of Reef's minidisc advert led me to go listen to the original as I had never seen it. Simon is actually a more compelling singer of that line, in my opinion. I was disappointed by how Reef performed it compared to Simon, much less passion and gusto

Wait a second there, Laser Discs, 2001...? There's no way Laser Discs lasted that long... Is there...? 🤔
@@beardedbear9901 only in Japan but I took the average of their lifespan to be fair.
@@SchutzmarkeGMBH Damn. Well, I learned something today. Thanks.
This is math I never knew I wanted.
The average is older then me. :)
the "that's the diggy hole man" part made me cackle out loud. Gotta love Simon for not taking himself seriously.
“Don’t look son, that’s the diggy hole man”
"Sorry, which one of us is the voice of reason in this?" I had to pause the video, and I cackled like a maniac for probably a full minute. No other line so perfectly sums up the trajectory of their content over the years.
"By this time next year, everyone's gunna be riding a robot goat" - Diggy Hole Man
I agree, but not for transport...
The rideable goat that’s also “rideable” 🤔
They played WoW for like 30 years and when the possibility of having mounts IRL shows itself, LEWIS QUESTIONS IT?
hahaha the part where lewis asks if the goat can touch his own button and they pan to Simon's reaction 😂
"TECHNOLOGY IS THE FUTURE!"
"Oh no..."
Perhaps the best way to open a podcast.
You guys are absolutely incredible, every time I see a new simons peculiar portions pop up in my feed my week gets instantly better. Never stop being your amazing selfs and thank you for all you do. “I am dave! Yognaught and I have the balls”
Oh gosh that groin part got me laughing so much
the camera guy was really having some fun in this episode
Wtf is going on, this made me feel sick
Simon: how about a robot goat you can ride
Lewis: fuck me
No lewis not that kind of riding
“The iBex.”
“Was it made by Apple?”
Lewis that joke was phenomenal! LOL!
10:52 Simons face of “The fuck is he going on about now?” while also dying inside is just hilarious!
Simon shouting at his crotch sent me but the part where Simon drops the, “That’s the Diggy Hole man, son.” sent me into TEARS!! LMAO!
Simon and Lewis were just super crazy this episode and I’m here for it!! Hahahaha!
aaaa! i wish this series was more popular! its good ol simon and lewis bullshittery and i love it
maybe absence truly does make the heart grow fonder, but I think this might be the best episode yet
Just 10 minutes in and we've got
- 90s tech podcast
- goat 2.0
- robot that apparently says "I am an idiot"
- "Dogo...mage it" at 10:00
- Apple made a goat
Glad to have these back
Mood gorning, mentlegen
Well, we sure are mentle over here
The Thylacine Simon mentions is actually the Tasmanian Tiger, which is still extinct, as opposed to the extant Tasmanian Devil.
Not surprising he thought someone had found some though, it's like Tasmanian Bigfoot with how often there are "sightings" of them.
I actually had a split second like "oh god, did someone finally confirm those sightings?"
This episode’s first 5 minutes was certainly a peculiar portion. Can’t wait for the next!
I think Simon was thinking of the Tasmanian Tiger, which went extinct. The Tasmanian devil didn't.
And there's always someone saying they've found evidence of one.
These guys were my childhood. I hope i get to build a gang of friends and do youtube together like you have done. even tho a few pieces fell apart its still legendary
Facts
Theyre still making vids after like 8 years
Respect
Honestly. One of the funniest episodes

Who needs technology when you’re busy digging a hole with your fellow dwarves?
Simon: "There's lights that flash on it apparently"
Lewis: "What's the point of THIS?"
Simon: "So people can see it coming in the dark I guess?"
lmao that was an underrated joke
Watching this after listening on Spotify just to hear the minidisc discussion again lmao
Oh my god when they started watching the robo-goat, and they saw how it moved
Perfection
Yay, new Peculiar Portions episode!! Finally!
Thanks for the episode lads, you all are legends

Minidisc was definitely not magnetic tape. It was a disk.
lol yea becasue otherwise it would have been a Mini Floppy ...

I’m so glad this didn’t disappear, I was sad last Friday didn’t get an episode. Good ol bois with their random banter. :)
14:48 “that’s the diggy hole man son” omg that was hilarious
According to Shel Silverstein, unicorns didn't make it on the ark. 🦄
That's because they're homosexuals lol
Simon literally does the "Hello my fellow" meme.
This video is why I’ve subbed for so many years and thrown money at these insane boys. Lots of love
Please.... PLEASE Make a "Wiz Kidz" podcast. Talk about 80-1999 technology. But act like it's indeed that time. So, nothing past 2000 exist. I want Genuine excitement over a no-skip walkman.
When Simon started yelling at Lewis' crotch, I thought to my self.... That's the diggy diggy hole man
Challenge: see if you can find a boat
i've missed this, i'm almost in tears of laughter, and not even half way through
Alexa, give me a challenge. "OK, see if you can find a boat."
this episode has made me laugh the most by far and wide.
I had a mini disk player. Combining several albums with edits on to one disk. No skipping. I loved it for snowboarding. I miss those days.
14:52 I love it
I feel like a decent chunk of Simons PP end with hail Satan. Or I am imagining things.
31:10 I thought for sure he was going to say "boat"
Time for another banger
This must be fucking wild to listen to as a podcast I want to know what my mind wouldve thought of from just their reactions to the goat video
More like Toygoata, AMIRITE?
A few minutes in and inserting minidiscs into the goat already has me dying. I picked the wrong time to have a hot cup of tea.
Why do I love the first 3 seconds of this video so much. Should be a clip on its own.
How are these still getting wilder and more out there!? I'm all for it, but omfg.
I'm going to say the Robo-Goat is good for steel wool.
It is reef! I found that song a few years back and simon sounds pretty damn close to the singer too
this is going into the classics playlist
Oh hey it's the Wiz-Kids
were gonna become a tech podcast!
Lewis: i feel like its a little late for that
comedy gold 😂😂😂
"help me step goat, help me mount you"
god dam you Simon what am I meant to do with all this lubricant >:)
You had me at iBex.
"Why have they made this, it has no discernable value whatsoever" says the man with a masters in chemistry.

Lewis’ frog: dogho meiget
10:01
I used to religiously listen to YogPods on my iPod Touch everynight before bed lol
"Farts have to make a sound!" What about "silent but deadly?"
Avocado is actually insanely poisonous to birds, so not unfeasible for fish either, weirdly!
Great episode, keep it up lads
Another strong start
5:39
"I am an idiot" - Lewis Brindleberry
That goat has potential. Imagine going car form and then hitting some other terrain it can switch to its legs and run around.
Oh my God, yes. The future mechanical goats need a portable disc player. :D
5:24 is low-poly gunna be a style for things in real life now? I mean cybertruck already is, maybe low-poly is the future
10:42 this is why I love Peculiar Portions
4 months til we're all riding robot goats
These are the only reason I'm still subscribed to this channel. Personally TTT got old in about 2015
The alexa part had me worrying mine would go off every time Simon said it lmao
I passed out with this episode on…..woke up to some interesting stuff in my basket 😂
Do Simons dream of Electric Goats?
Play this on 0.5x speed, its even funnier!
It is like they are drunk!
(Somebody said to do this, and its hilarious!)
Yesss Peculiar Portions is backkkkk ❤
“A goat the size of a horse” - Simon 2022
Is that not a deer then? 😂
It's totally a deer. I mean look at it. The thing is a deer. Why do they call it goat?
"dough go magget"
9:56
I literally have an electric bicycle being delivered today… now I’ve got goat envy
Also, for the record, the mini disc was CD based (re-recordable) I had one and it was good
Also, did anyone else pause and get Alexa to whisper?
OMG, the Goat part kills me RIP me. lol !!
Simon shouting at lewis' crotch killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“God did have a chance” - Simon 2022
Somehow I was super into the tech podcast portion of the episode
I love tech news!
Sorry boys, 110/120 is just a minor shock. It just bounces your fingers away immediately so no real danger of death from a small outlet shock...
I love these podcast please keep them up 😂
14:47 absolutely losing it
11:55 I hope Gee watches this one day.
Great Shrek impression.
Simon said scrumping 😂 shoutout to F**k face podcast
frog controlling Lewis' brain? Zylush supremacy confirmed? :D
I would love if an mc-gang decided to go full goat🤣😂🤣
"I guess it's a lot of _sex stuff_... You know? A lot of fuckables..." Lewis says looking straight into the camera.
No wonder Joe quit.
And Lewis wasn't even the one shouting at people's groins!
Just a piece of random trivia: it's not called gangplank anymore, for current ships, but rather gangway.
I'm pretty sure minidisc had small disks inside them. wait. was it a magnetic disk? like a hard drive ?
Why don't you do trucking Tuesday's again, I miss it alot.
