What milestone does this episode celebrate and what new video format is being introduced?
Hi everyone, thank you for joining Talking Rubbish episode 100. A little bit different today, Robbie and I decided to play some games and have a bit of fun and we did that live in front of a group of influencers over on YouTube. So you might hear references to people being in the chat or partaking in quizzes and that all happened while we recorded it live. This is the start of us moving to video, so if you're on YouTube, Spotify or Apple and you unlock your phone now, you should be able to see me talking to you and you could watch this entire episode. And every episode of Talking Rubbish from now on will be completely in video. So we really hope you enjoy that. There's nothing left for me to say other than enjoy episode 100.
Hello, welcome to Talking Rubbish. I'm going to be honest, this doesn't feel right for episode 100. I don't feel like I should do my normal intro. So let's hand it over to the Binfluencers.
hello welcome to talking rubbish a weekly podcast delving deep into the world of recycling and discussing the truth behind the snappy headlines and one-sided stories in this episode we are celebrating reach in episode 100 in our first ever technically challenged And very likely to go wrong. Completely live episode. Join us as we reflect... On the amazing journey so far. He's James Piper, author of The Rubbish Book. And he's joined by... Robbie Staniforth. His far from rubbish friend. Hello.
Oh, something's gone wrong here. We're frozen. Uh, hold on. We're not in booths anymore. Hang on, yeah, this doesn't feel right. Maybe if I just press this button here... Hi, everyone. This is very exciting. There's people saying they listen at one and a half speed. And so this is quite slow. So we need to talk faster, Robbie.
It's all quicker. Hurry up. Get to the good stuff.
Yeah.
So first things first, let me say thank you to Danny, Emily, Kay, Rebecca, Melanie, Chloe, my mum, Christoph, Mandy, David, Joy, Jonathan, Matt, Peter, Jay, Judith, Jill, Kirstie, Dan, Ryan, Joel, Charlotte, Oliver and James, who all contributed to our introduction. Thank you so much, guys.
Yeah, thanks so much. I mean, the work that went into stitching that all together to do your intro, it was so good.
Yeah, the amazing thing was I gathered everyone from Discord, so I put up a thing on Discord saying, we need to do a live intro like this if you want to take part. And I thought we might get like one or two. And within about five minutes, I had 30 people liking it. So I was like, how long can I make the intro? So we just had to keep extending the intro music. Put another line in. Yeah. It's unbelievable. We had to keep extending the intro music to fit all the lines in, so that's why it just carries on. That's why the person who said one and a half times speed is really slow.
I must admit, when I listen back, I'm on 1.2 times speed, so I hear them. I think 1.5 is a bit faster, isn't it? We've been talking like this the entire time.
Gosh, and Robbie, I am so relieved we have made it here because the influencers may not know. I mean, they might know, but for the last five episodes or so, your microphone has just completely broken. And so we've been putting our producer through his paces trying to clear you up and fix it. But we've been refusing to create e-waste. I'm like, we can't throw out this microphone with five episodes left to go. So we have really hobbled over the line here. Yeah, every time I've heard the playback, it's like,
I don't sound like that. It's all crackly and stuff. But honestly, we couldn't work out what to do with it. Anyway, those dark days are behind us now. Thank you, Greg, for sorting out the sound. I don't think anybody noticed by the time it got published.
Thank you so much, Greg. And yeah, people are saying they like the shelf behind us, the rubbish or not wall. This is every rubbish or not I think we've ever had.
It's amazing. Yeah. When we were putting this together, it was so fun. Although I must admit there was a last minute dash to find this pillowcase here back into James's house.
