If the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say this was their finest hour.

BRB, UK, worst teeth, better accents.

Hello, hello, and indeed, hoy hoi-hoa. Welcome, slightly later than planned to episode

378 to BRBUK. I'm Dan, I'm your host. Hello. How are you? I'm so sorry we went there

last week because, well, their mistakes were made, weren't they, Tim? Yep, yep. Coleman. Hi! You didn't make any mistakes. Well, you made the mistake of moving house. That was a big mistake. Yeah, I was moving house, so I put the show, the preparation of the show and sorting out of the show in the very capable hands of Tim. Yes.

Can I just say, in my part, I then, at some point on Thursday, completely lost the ability to check WhatsApp.

Yes, which didn't help.

And I was then busy Thursday, and we'll come onto why I've been busy on a couple of Thursdays in just a moment.

But then busy at work and a combination of still getting over illness, laziness and playing computer games was a combination of excuses that

weren't quite good enough. Basically, my lack of ability to check what's up and Tim's lack of

ability to work out how days of the week work was the reason there wasn't a show last week.

None of it, my fault. No, none of it was Coleman's fault. We've lost two shows this year and I haven't lost, I've only lost one of them. That doesn't sound so good though, does it make? Fitty-fitty. 50-50. So, uh, so headlines, I suppose, really. We ought to get on with it since stuff has been going down well before we get on to that i can finally reveal why i've been disappearing on certain thursdays and

other days of the week uh timm look seriously don't have to tell everyone he's batman well

tim's batman yeah i didn't want to say it but but... God damn twend man. Mostly Batman. Basically, Batman. No, but yeah, even more pleased than that, I've been helping out... You're Superman! No, no, no, but I have been doing a super thing. I've been helping out Great Ormond Street. Hey! Which I'm very pleased to be associated with, and to associate Big Red Barrel with in general. And how do they feel about it the other way around? We've got an upcoming event called Geek Out for Gosh. It will be a fundraising event helping to raise money for the Children's Hospital, basically. Holy snap. How do we get involved in that, Tim? Well, there will be more details coming up, but we'll be looking at getting people to host fundraising streams, which can take part in, and then we'll also be having some streams that we'll be doing ourselves. I say ourselves, much more talented people than me putting on streams, and we'll have some more details of exactly who those people will be in future weeks

but there's some exciting people getting involved with that so yeah that looks like it's going

to be a really interesting thing to be in part of basically are they more exciting than

the crew of the big red barrel UK podcast yeah as you say come come let's cross streams

let's do it let us do it well you guys can get involved as well. Everyone can get involved. That's part of the excitement. Even if you don't want to stream, you can watch the other streams that we'll be doing and kind of donate through that as well, basically. What I would like to see it, I would like to see someone do their own, like, kind of, you know how like stop motion stop motion works right do that as a flip book and so

they are recording themselves playing a game but they're using doing it using medium stop motion photography

and what they produce is a flip book of their stream that's what i want to see yeah yeah just want to

see that just occurred to me i just thought i was done that that'd be something interesting someone could do and they should do it I mean I could do that I'm not sure it would be something interesting to do yeah there's ideally you playing through not like you hanging about your house or anything like that but yeah as I said it's something I'm really happy to be a part of it's going to be something I think quite interesting and fun to take part in it as well.

So, yeah, as I said, something we were having more details coming up.
