Wonderfully Illinformed
Join your hosts Ben, Mark and Tom for a podcast where 3 childhood friends reconnect under the watchful eye of their AI Producer.
Each week, the guys meet up and throw a selection of weird and wonderful stories from various (possibly questionable) sources into their AI Producer's lap. She then provides the headlines at random for them to discuss, and probably diverge from almost immediately.

I would like to beg of you, people in glass houses, Woody. I know what I'm bringing on Sunday. Is it a new XLR lead? Probably not. They're so wonderfully ill-informed. Hello, welcome to wonderfully ill-informed, the podcast where we convert interesting, funny or informative things from our wake into quotes, put them into the randomizer, take our best shot at guessing what they're about and then jump into discussion. Join us for some rather unpredictable chats on wonderfully ill-informed. I'm Tom. I'm Ben. And I am Mark. And I have a little question for you, for you little lads to open us up. lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads lads I saw that today. James Buckley. Yeah, I did see that actually. Yeah, Buckcomb. I mean, that is not how it's said. Yeah, it's probably Buckcomb or something. So anyway, on the subject of animals as usual, if we... not to get too morbid after the spooky season, but if we were all to pass away, what would you like to be reincarnated as? This is dark, man. Can I just come back as a less broken person? No, you know, have a normal life. Ben. animal would you know? come. it has to be an animal, doesn't it? Yeah. can I come back as a Tasmanian tiger just to fuck with people? yeah. It's back. Yeah. I shall come back as Bigfoot. nice, all equally good because you can fuck with people. yeah, I'll come back as Bigfoot and hang around in fields near train stations. And just yeah, wave at passersby. Yeah. So what animal would you be Mark that calls back to one of the things we've talked about on a previous episode? Yeah, so I mean, I guess it does have to be related to an episode now after you bastards came up with a running joke. I mean... We're definitely not in an abundance of animals, are we, in the podcast? Yeah, it's all we talk about. Yeah, I mean, I could be a cat that shits in toasters. You could be Frank the dog. You just come back and haunt Tom. Yeah, I could be the werewolf of South End. mean, arguably that's an animal. Yeah, blob fish. Exactly. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. What's your choice then, Mark? I think I'm going to settle on a sea lion that plays computer games because sea lions are pretty cool. They're pretty chill and I'm pretty cool, pretty chill, obviously, as you guys both well know. And modest. And super modest. And yeah, gets to sit around and play computer games as well. Pretty, pretty joy. Stop, stop, stop. I'm having to make some cutbacks on today's episode. I apologize, human and AI listeners, but the boys have themselves to blame. Doing an extra episode this month and waffling on too much. has caused us to run low on minutes with our host. All will be back to normal on the next episode. Randomizing. Legendary moments at the Convention of Dudes. Who's quote is that? it Windy McGee's? It is Windy McGee's. Legendary moments at the Convention of Dudes. So is it like a Comic Con type thing? Yeah, I I'd assume the Convention of Dudes is that kind of a vibe, yeah. But it doesn't, mean unless it's just like a massive circle jerk, I don't know. How big of a circle can we get together? Legendary moments. Yeah. Right, Ben, it's your guess. Ben, yeah, what do you... Yeah, I'm trying to think of anything in my random pointless knowledge of this type of nerdy shit, because I'm assuming it's nerdy. Anything that I might know about. I've got nothing. To be fair, it's pretty hard. was interested to see what you guys would say. This is actually something I've been... page on Instagram that I've been sitting on for a while. And this is the first one where I felt like I could use it on the podcast because it's a very visual Instagram. It's called Werner's AI Art. And this was a AI prompt that was used. So legendary moments at the Convention of Dude. this is a video which includes using voices and stuff from 11 Labs, which is something that we are intimately aware of. use of. We're intimate with. Very intimate. Should I play it? Yeah, it includes a lot of different AI generated sounds and is just generally very good. They went redneck rather than nerds. Yes, it's not nerds this one. This one is very rednecky, driving around flatbeds that explode. There was some musical artists who generated there. A selection of other bits and pieces. Some sort of guys talking at a rally. I don't think any of that is going to come across. From that audio, I don't think... people listening have any idea what was happening. had no idea what was happening. I'm not gonna lie. Everything you saw and heard was was generated by AI. So all of the video that people can go and watch at Werner's AIR is all completely generated by AI. That's pretty cool. I mean the fact that they generated those people look pretty real considering. It looks AI generated. It looks AI generated but they look they look pretty realistic. Like, that would fool my mum. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I would like to beg of you to click on a couple of the other videos, Tom, and just show... I'd like to beg of you. Beg of Pretty please. I'll beg of thee. Go on then, Mark. Beg. Beg, Mark. Get on your knees, bitch. I'll beg of thee. Show us where the AI are. Please, Tom. Please. I will only click on a few more if I can beg of you to get a new fucking lead. There's one of a wrestler, you scroll down on the left hand side, I think there's one of a wrestler that's pretty weird. Yeah, this one. So this is generated from like WWE and that sort of thing. that's so weird. He's getting dressed, but then it's like really strange. People do flips and their legs disappear and they change outfits halfway through flips. his arms turned into legs. Yeah, yeah. People grow extra legs in the air. I'd watch wrestling like that. That looks fun. It looks crazy. People just turn into spaghetti. Pizza chair. Yeah. It's so weird. Get to the C. But the C is the letter C. Did you just miss some words and it's get to the chopper? It could be that. Yeah. Cut the quote too early. Yeah, I should have just cut to Arnie and just... Get to the chopper! So yeah, get to the C. Get to the C. Is it get to the centre? No. Is the C shortened or is it you are literally getting two and C is the thing? Correct. You're getting to and see is the thing. It's got multiple millions and we have had similar things brought where it's people being quite creative with certain things. it a mist? Is it a weird talking thing like the wharf guy? It's not. Right. Let's dive into it. So it is to do with our lovely movie that we've referenced before Moana. And she is obviously trying to she wants to go to the sea, not the. letter C but the actual water-based C. seaside? The wet. She likes to be beside the wet side. In the song The Wet, the composer, basically the tonal like main note is C but he purposely kind of played out of key. I've seen this. And as she got to the sea, she went to the sea. So the boys have already seen it, so let's move on. no, I've not seen it. I've not seen this. So sorry, so it's like the chord is out of tune until she sings the Play the video. Yeah, I'll play the video because it does a much better explanation than I. I bet there's no fucking reason for that woman to be there. Probably not, no. How far I'll go from Moana, the whole entire song is about one note. C natural. Now we are in the key of E major in which C natural does not naturally occur. Listen to this. Every turn I take, every trail I track, every path I make, every road leads back to the place I know, where I cannot go, where I long to be. There's that C natural, the place she cannot go, where she longs to be. It comes back in a second. I can lead with pride, I can make us strong, I'll be satisfied if I play along, with a voice inside, since it's different song. What is wrong with me? Wrong with me. There's that C natural again on the word Wrong! How apropos is that? Now at the end of the song we modulate to the key of F major in which C does naturally occur. The line where the sky meets the sea, it calls me, it calls me. Alright, so now the C fits into this key, but it gets so much better. At the very end she sings, One day I'll go, how far I'll go. And then we get the C again with this new harmony. And what happens then? then the harmony shifts underneath while she's holding that C and we change keys to C major where C is Do, C is the tonic. Also for funsies, where is Moana trying to go? The C. How awesome is that? That's so clever. I love, I love that. Yeah. That's like a mission impossible callback. Yeah. We're doing a lot of callbacks. Yeah. I just realized I was like, that's what Tom meant. Yeah. Yeah. It's a bit of a callback to that. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, that's, that's really interesting. I mean, it's very, very clever and very creative, but on the flip side of that, let's just talk about how annoying it is having random people rehash other people's good content by just putting their face in the video and just nodding along. Tom, be careful what you're saying here because you realize what our podcast is, right? This is very start of that, was just describing this very podcast. But it's not our faces. We're actively not using our faces for the most part until just recently on our Instagram. If you want to see our faces, then head over to wonderfullyinformed on Instagram. What I think we should do is repost this video on our Instagram now. with our face cams from this us watching that whole thing. That's a great idea. Over the top of that whole thing. I must admit, it's killing me not being able to share my wonderfully informed mind with you. Alas, blame these penny-pinching hosts who call themselves podcasters. weighs less than a Mars bar, but is as ferocious as a lion. Is it to do with lion, chocolate bar, Mars bar? So it's chocolate bar related. So it's not about Mars bars. It's not about food. Right, okay. At the middle of that sentence, I was just thinking, hang on, do I remember what this is about? What is this? Is it about food? It's not. It's not about food, apart from the comparison to a Mars bar. Yes. Well, what is it about then, I think this is best... shown by watching the video. Now then, it is one of the most incredible photos of animals you might have seen ever. Take a look at this. It shows a weasel riding on the back of a flying woodpecker. Who could believe it? How insane is that? remarkable picture was captured by amateur photographer Martin LeMay. Martin, how did this picture come about? Because it is genuine, isn't it? Despite what people are saying online about it being photoshopped and the rest of it. It is genuine. My wife and I were just out for a walk. We'd gone out for a stroll yesterday afternoon. and she's never seen a woodpecker before. bet she hasn't mate. I knew you were going to perk up then Tom. out me woodpecker. I I just wonder what was going through that weasel's mind while it was floating. Was it, this is awesome or was it shhhh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is insane! Mummy! They explained in the video that the weasel is what has been referred to as... Whatever my quote was. I don't remember what it was now. Signed to as a lion. Small as a Mars bar, as fierce as a lion. So they're very aggressive. Yeah, got it. They have to eat like half or a third of their body weight in food a day to survive. So they think that the weasel might have been its last straw. had to get some food. So it just clung on and just tried to... Because woodpeckers, they eat ants and stuff. So they're down on floor. So they do interact. And they think it just hopped on and the bird was like, fuck this, I'm off. Yeah. He's trying to fly away. it was that, that it was a weasel on the hunt for, for Woodcock. Yes. The weasel is trying to eat the woodpecker. So just, woodpecker, not a woodcock. was going to say, so let's just be clear that weasel. Woodcock's another kind of bird. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. think so. Of course my computer's not working, so I can't. we go. Woodcock is a bird. wow. He's got a snoot. Fuck me. Let's get this. I've just got to get you this snoot. I've got to show you off the wonders of woodcocks. Check this motherfucker out. What are you showing me here, Mark? This isn't Pond Hub again, is it? It's a woodcock. This is a lovely cock for you. fucking hell, yeah. OK, that's not what I was expecting that to look like at all. Yeah, man. But apparently they don't know what happened to the woodpecker or the weasel. They don't know if the weasel managed to eat the woodpecker or if the weasel died because it fell off. woodpecker pecked. I mean, woodpeckers do peck through wood in order to get food. Hang on. Does that mean that woodcocks cock through woods to get food? Well, after all that nonsense, there is absolutely no way that there will be enough time for one of our hosts games. Therefore, I select Tom, our resident clock watcher. Please, can you give the other two a fun little debate to fulfill the content quota? So instead of playing a game today, I thought that we could do a little mini debate on a question. So the question is, and I'm sure that you heard this many a time on many podcasts, so you might do a sigh of like, this fucking question. The question is, what are there more in the world, doors or wheels? I've never heard that question before. You've never heard that? So more doors or wheels? So I mean, first question, we, we internally within this debate, are we calling, so you'd buy a five door car and that includes the door to that's the boot. So first off, are we including boot doors of vehicles? You could, but then you've got, you've got four wheels and then there's probably a spare wheel in the boot. So it's still the same amount of wheels. Well, yeah. But at the very least that's equal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would agree with that. But you don't have any. many wheels, like how many wheels do you have in the house? guess it depends on you go. Yeah. Toys or do the wheels count as like cogs in like mechanical stuff? I mean, do we want to factor in like toys wheels on like kids toys? Yeah. There's like micro machines. How many micro machines are there in the world? There's also a lot of doors on kids toys. Fair point. Yeah. Little dolls houses and things like that. To give us a starting point, why don't we each say how many doors and how many wheels we have in our room? What we're writing now? Yeah. So how many wheels? I mean, what counts as a wheel? Because I've got a wheel. Well, this is not a wheel. This is a drinks mat. I forgot what this is called then. It's a circle, Tom. You've answered your own question there by picking something up and saying this is not a wheel. This is not a wheel. Circle. is a circle. Yeah, I mean, so I've got two doors in the room, but they're like doors to the void in the roof in the ceiling. So you've got two doors. How many wheels have you got, Mark? There's well, so this is where we keep our suitcases. So I would say there's probably more wheels. There's at least six wheels in this lot. I have 20 wheels in my room and one door. What are the wheels? Well, I've got five wheels. The chair. Forgot my fucking chair. I've got five wheels on my desk, which are double wheels. There's a wheel each side on the on the wheel. and then on my chair, I also have another five, which is a double. No, I would call that one wheel. Well, it's not because you can spin. You can pick them up. You could pick them up and spin them two different separate ways. So two wheels. win. What else counts as a wheel? Yeah, I was going to say there you have like the wheels on your mouse. This is this is the tracking wheel, though, isn't it? Yeah. I'd go with that one. Yeah. Yeah. The middle wheel. That is also a little more. I feel like there's probably more wheels. But where can you find a lot of doors? A door shop? A door shop? hospital? Wait, this is another thing. On doors. When is a door on? Is a door on when it's closed or when it's open? I've seen this debate, yeah. It's a good question. Yeah. Well, when is a door not a door? When there's no door. When it's ajar. Dad joke from the the non dad from the non dad. Yeah, well, that's what I thought. That's what I thought Tom was going to say. So when he did it, I was like, well, OK, but seriously, it's like you've seen this mark. I I would say that the door is on when it's closed, probably. Yeah. because I don't need the door to be open. Sorry, what was the question? When is the door on? Is the door on when it's closed or when it's open? If you you were to think of it as a binary on and off. you mean like an electrical circuit type thing? Yeah, if like, yeah, I'd say that a door is off when it's open. Yeah, I'd agree. Because it's not serving the purpose of keeping the thing closed off. See, my instinct was the other way. A door's purpose is to separate rooms, isn't it? So I'd say that's when it's on is when it's separating the room. If it's not separating the room, then it's off. Because you don't necessarily need it. But I would say that it's in its when it's closed, it's in its relaxed state. Relaxed state is not a work. But you know what mean? It's sitting where it should be and you've moved it away from where it should. So then it's on because it's doing something. That's a very interesting way of looking at it. Yeah, that's true. you also don't need it. It's doing something by again separating the rooms. Its purpose isn't necessarily to be open because if its purpose is to be open, then you just would have no door. Have a void. Yeah, yeah, you wouldn't have a door, would you? You just have a space to walk through. then if you think about it in like electrical circuitry, those, what are they called? You know, the thing where you've got two points and a switch, think a switch. Yeah. That's like a door. If it was open, it's off. If it's closed, it's on. So in that instance, your way is probably right. Yeah. It's a very, I found that debate very, very interesting. By me, both debates are very interesting. Don't get me wrong. Yeah. But still, have we come to conclusion on the wheels or the doors? I think there's probably more wheels. I'm gonna, yeah, I'd settle on wheels. I feel like there are more... Especially if we're counting both sides of a cast or on a chair. Yes, for sure. And that's a wrap. Outro, go. We really hope you enjoyed the episode today. Why you chatting? I wanna wait. Maybe not then, Mark. Okay, well, Tom's gone. A straight runner anyway. Well, I've enjoyed the episode. Tom obviously hasn't. Should we try and do this, Mark? Yeah, let's fucking give it a go. Fuck Tom. Yeah, fuck Tom. Fuck Tom. We're on a deadline. Let me bring up the outro. I'll be Tom. Yeah, and then I'll come back and I'll be you. OK? Go on then. Cool.
