Interesting Things Said by Uninteresting People

We're finally calling time on the wild, wild ITSBUP ride! Not a hiatus, not a break, we're happily pulling the brakes and turning the engine off! Thanks to everyone for listening over the last few years and too-few episodes for how long we've been at it - it's been great fun and we're happy to be stopping on purpose, however much we'll miss waffling on. Now we'll just waffle on to each other in private. To say goodbye, we hit the classics - a slightly-old comicbook movie, some random tech talk and signing off on the patron saint of the podcast! Thanks a lot, see you later.

Never fear, despite one half of the podcast having spent the last few weeks having poo squirted all over him at all hours, we ain't dead! We'll be back to new episodes soon, but for now, settle into 2022 by reliving some of the best bits of ITSBUP 2021!

What makes a 'special' edition? Talking for almost an hour about having babies or not having babies? Maybe! There are big changes on the horizon for ITSBUP (except we're not pivoting to a parenting podcast), after a long old road to get here! If you're thinking "yuck, babies, where's that sweet sweet ITSBUP content I've come to enjoy?", well then listen to like, the first twenty minutes of this episode, or stick around until the next episode when things go back to totally normal!

Ben's stuck in isolation and Tom shows an appropriate level of sympathy, while talking about gravel catalogues and how cooling a PC is a bit like having a greenhouse. Also actual interesting things about Shang Chi, Ratchet & Clank, and how we're both absolutely head over heels with Hades. All good stuff!

Neither of us can quite believe that we've made it to fifty episodes of our little old podcast! We're not sure when it transitioned from being something we do just because we fancy it to something that people actually enjoy listening to, but thanks to everyone who's listening, you all have a special place in our hearts. To celebrate our fiftieth episode, Ben goes on a rant about one restaurant, Tom revels in Byte Review success, and we both have feelings about The Suicide Squad! If you enjoy this episode, leave a comment, share it with someone who you think shares your excellent taste and if you leave us a review (you can do it right now, in your podcast app), we'll love you forever!

Ok, so there's a bit of Marvel content to talk about this time, and that's all excellent and all, but there's other stuff too! I mean, for example, do you want to know why Ben couldn't talk properly for a bit? It's semi gross! Do you want to know what Tom looks like while sweating over a new PC build? Yeah? Then step right up baby! It's the last episode before episode 50 too! We're not sure what we'll do to celebrate, but if there's something interesting you want us to uninterestingly talk about, then now's the time to send it our way - we'll probably read it out!

It seems that we're both heavily sold on Microsoft Flight Simulator, and will henceforth be recording the podcast from a life-sized mock-up cockpit. In-flight meals and all. As long as we can carry on watching Loki, listening to the 20-year-old Take Off Your Pants And Jacket, and rewatching Bo Burnham's Inside special. Then it'll all be 100% fine! In this episode we talk about approaching episode 50 - get in touch with any questions you want us to answer, or to be fair, any old comments you want two people to look at and maybe read out on a modestly successful podcast!

Yes yes, we had a slight audio issue recording this episode, but nothing major - please send us comments to point it out so that we might learn in penance for next time. But if you can get past that, we hope you're ready for some extreme news about wallpapers, a blistering section on mid-90s novels, and a whip-crack review of a camera! While we both try and keep our hands off each other in the first in-person recording for a while!

We had a short break, but there's no getting rid of us! More interesting things than you could ever shake a stick at - Weezer hit a double-whammy, some Joshes go head-to-head, Tom's defected browsers and Ben's got a new project he'd quite like you to look at!

You wouldn't think that watching a lizard beat the monkey for a bit could be so much fun, but there we are! A bit of Godzilla vs Kong reviewing, some marvelling at the nippy Xbox Series S, and getting confused by a Japanese biker. Also, we descend into our thirties with actual talk about what's for dinner.

The most impressive thing about this episode is that Tom put up some shelves all on his own, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Ok, so yes we do get to talking about the UK government's plans to help stop men hurting women so much, how to deal with all the productivity porn out there, a bit of the excellent Moxie, some Falcon and Winter Soldier thrown in and whether it was worth Ben spending four hours on Zack Snyder's Justice League... but it's the shelves that really sell it.

What a week for the public to have opinions! From paying healthcare workers appropriately to showing compassion for people struggling with their mental health - you wouldn't think the public could be divided about that sort of thing, but you'd be wrong! Luckily, we have our own opinions to force on you (gently, while you choose to hit 'play' on the episode) about wasps, the finale of Wandavision, the documentary series Losers and Tom getting snapped up for a TV part!

What a time for science! NASA's Perseverance rover has touched down, and Tom has finally managed to cobble together a franken-Switch! One of these is a massively expensive exercise in pushing the boundaries of what humans can achieve, and landing on Mars is also pretty neat! This episode we're also tackling taking notes, reading new old comic books, and cheering on a rowing vet.

We're concerned that whatever we find annoying or pointless or to have dodgy practices becomes the next massive thing - so with that said, look forward to a year full of TikTok and Clubhouse! We're also on the waiting list to have chips inserted into our heads, which will hopefully have no ill effects whatsoever, and thinking about what records we can set for Ben's new favourite website. Oh, and Weezer's new album is ace! If you enjoy this episode, leave a comment, share it with someone who you think shares your excellent taste and if you leave us a review, we'll love you forever!

They say life begins at 40, and boy are they right! Our fortieth episode is fresh, exciting, and thinking about buying a red sportscar - as well as mulling over the new dawn in America and our two new absolute favourite Twitter accounts of all time. For once, we've BOTH watched something and can tell you how good Wandavision looks so far, and Tom can give you some sweary behind the scenes of Byte Review!

Ok, so we decided to record in the evening of the 6th January, when absolutely not other big news stories were happening whatsoever! We squeeze the last few drops of interest out of the new year, and then take a 'where are they now' look back at some of the best interesting things of 2020. Why isn't Carole Baskin in jail? Does anyone play Animal Crossing any more? And what would Ben's one Youtube video be about? Thanks as always to Tony Thaxton for our theme!

You will never know the audio issue we overcame to eventually bring you this episode, but believe me, it was totally worth it. We talk about the idea of moving past thirty, and whether it really is such a big deal, as well as a bit of Project Power, and a bit of dangerous bird action.

After the fly attack in this episode, the fly actually went on to overthrow Ben and Tom and is now the rightful owner of ITSBUP. So, say goodbye to things like talking camping trips that nearly ended in explosions, how to fail at your creative endeavours and what The Peanut Butter Falcon is like, because from next time onwards, it's all fly talk, all the time.

It's a big week for Tom this week, with the launch of Kiroku Clothing, a whole new iOS to get on top of, and having to worry that Ben is sending him subtle signs that he might not be ok!

Tom reflects of leaving teaching while Ben has become the fly-hunter with some new toolage. And that's only the first five minutes. The rest is better, honest - what Tom's reading and the block who wrote it, whether Quibi is going to be a lame duck, and whether The Last Of Us Part II lives up to the hype!

What's white, sleek, and full of the latest technology - at least two of the things we talk about in this episode, that's what! That're what? Grammar questions aside, buckle up for another intense ITSBUP full of movies we haven't seen, opinions we don't share, and design choices we can't understand! BLAST OFF! (I'm sorry, I'm so sorry).

Look at that, it only took lockdown to up our recording schedule! Longtime fans will know about Elon Musk's status as patron saint of the podcast, but is it time for a rethink?

Hey hey, don't let the old 'rona get you down - it's time to think about interesting things like how to approach creative pursuits (especially when the world is falling apart around you), what's new with Apple's first cheapish phone in forever, and just how intense Tara Westover's memoir, Educated, can possibly get!

After a traditionally lengthy tech issue in getting everything set up, we absolutely crushed it, as always. 100% of the time. I don't think the noise of quiet facepalming while talking about the questions posed to Mark Zuckerberg came out on the recording, but apologies if it did.

It was way too early in the morning when we recorded this episode. Like, TEN AM EARLY. Still, we managed to soldier on with arguably the most important news and opinions you'll hear today. Chromebooks - why we quite like them, and how we're totally not sponsored to talk about them. What IS the deal with the iPhone X's notch, anyway? Is data mining THAT big a deal?

We've been champing at the bit to talk about all of the cool things that entrepreneur, genius, possible-alien, Elon Musk is working on. It's a science-heavy episode, covered by two people who are effectively chimps in the headlights (who also aren't very good at metaphors). Take a trip into the weird and wonderful future (as seen by one guy, at least) through space travel, earth travel, mind-reading, and simulating an entire universe. Thanks for listening!

We're back, with all the excuses in the world for missing a few weeks (not to play the 'wedding' card or anything). Time for Tom and Ben to catch up on air, talking why Ben can't take a shot in lycra, why Tom won't be buying a Galaxy Note 8 any time soon and why we're still thinking about Spider-man: Homecoming! Thanks for listening! You can find us on other sites at @benjionelung and @bytereview - tell us why we're totally wrong about basically everything in this episode, or just lay down your praise at our glorious return.

We done gone went to see Guardians 2 together in order to talk about it on our little podcast, like a proper date. It turned out great, as did one man's quest to build an iPhone and the prospect of alien life being out there, somewhere. Plus, as ABSOLUTELY ALWAYS, Tom's Good News is... good. I don't know if we need to say this, but we recorded the episode before Zack Snyder decided to move away from Justice League under pretty brave and tough circumstances, with Joss Whedon stepping in, so when we're talking about DC just taking Marvel filmmakers, we're not being intentionally insensitive. Thanks for listening! You can find us on other sites at @benjionelung and @bytereview - have you ever built an iPhone? Did you like Guardians of The Galaxy 2?
