A bit of Saturday fun for you, there

Bother’s Bar takes on the Tunnock’s Tea Cake Challenge. Three tea cakes. No water. One minute.

I desperately wanted to get the clock in italics but I couldn’t quite manage it with my very basic OBS skills without cutting bits off, which is a shame. Also I forgot to do a hilarious “let’s hope those 50% are right!” joke.

This does give us a chance to highlight three somewhat relevant things that we quite like, well four:

• Far Out – daily estimated guess social quiz puzzle thing by FOTB and TV bod James Allison. I can’t tell you if it’s any better or worse than Wordle or whatever, but I have found myself looking forward to playing it before bed/when I get up and chatting about it in the BB Discord whereas I usually get bored of this sort of thing quite quickly, so there’s that.
• Project You Bet – Jason Williams trying to extract the Jonathan Sorrell soundtrack to You Bet! using clean-up techniques to various degrees of success. Importantly the ‘da-da-DAH-duh-da’ one is present and correct.
• Elgato Wave Link 3.0 – updated recently so you don’t need Elgato hardware, it’s pretty powerful sound routing software which with a bit of playing about with may well end up replacing Voicemeeter. So much less hassle sorting out sound levels for videos as well, which has traditionally always been a problem for me.
• Tunnock’s Tea Cakes – obviously.

Things to watch out for this week:

• Million Dollar Secret S2 (Netflix) – We enjoyed the first series, but always had the nagging feeling the producers hands were on the scales with regards to the difficulty of the secret tasks so they could just get rid of anyone they wanted. Also we were annoyed when the contestants weren’t playing the game as presented and just started eliminating people they didn’t like. Still, always enjoy a bit of Peter Serofinowicz. Not doing a separate post for this, but you can discuss this on the S1 one if you want. Launches April 15th (i.e. Tuesday)
• American Gladiators (Amazon Prime) – This ought to be fascinating, although we can’t guarantee it will be good. Launches internationally on Thursday April 17th. It might be nice if Prime finally get a success in this sort of space at least.
