00:00:00.301 --> 00:00:02.342
Did you hear about the result in the cheese rolling?
00:00:03.221 --> 00:00:04.331
I, I didn't.
00:00:04.391 --> 00:00:10.340
I, usually I, I subscribe to cheese rolling monthly, but my subscription ran out.
00:00:10.391 --> 00:00:18.001
I was investing elsewhere Let's- Into chocolatefireguard.com, but yeah, I don't know.
00:00:19.231 --> 00:00:27.571
Let's just bring our, um, non-British, uh, or anybody that, that doesn't know about cheese rolling into the, the, the joke about what this is, right?
00:00:27.571 --> 00:00:34.252
So in the UK every year in spring, we have this really, really steep hill somewhere in the south, uh, which we'll go into a little bit later.
00:00:34.261 --> 00:00:35.930
Gloucestershire, in fact.
00:00:36.201 --> 00:00:46.210
And every year what they do is they get a big wheel of cheese, and they chuck it at the top of this hill, and then everybody chase asses down the hill as fast as they can, trying not to break their neck.
00:00:46.502 --> 00:00:51.490
And whoever crosses the line at the bottom wins the prize of the cheese.
00:00:52.151 --> 00:00:52.500
All right?
00:00:52.750 --> 00:00:58.491
So- Do they have to- We'll put a picture up on screen of the hill … do, 'cause I thought they had to, like, catch the cheese.
00:00:59.281 --> 00:00:59.710
Oh, no.
00:00:59.731 --> 00:01:01.061
There's no catching the cheese.
00:01:01.121 --> 00:01:03.070
Yeah, no, it's, it's like an eight- Okay.
00:01:03.331 --> 00:01:04.421
I guess it's going so fast.
00:01:04.421 --> 00:01:04.522
Yeah.
00:01:04.522 --> 00:01:14.781
It's like an eight pound double Gloucester cheese rolling down a steep hill, um, at ridiculous speed, and people just kinda chase it after.
00:01:14.802 --> 00:01:28.171
I think even this year, I think there was a load of, like, stunt men from Hollywood that joined to see if they could win, and they, they couldn't beat this German guy and the guy who came second, who's the guy who's won it, like, multiple, multiple occasions.
00:01:28.251 --> 00:01:36.156
Um, yeah, so- Right Yeah, it's, it's quite an- I mean, it must be strange when you see people… Uh, how do you train for that?
00:01:36.686 --> 00:01:42.445
Just launch yourself down a hill So many times a week.
00:01:43.725 --> 00:01:54.165
I mean, it is one of those games when I was a kid that I'd quite enjoy, you know, where you sort of go sideways, and I think we call it, like, roly polies, where you lie on your side at the top of a hill and just let yourself roll down.
00:01:54.316 --> 00:01:55.105
Oh, okay.
00:01:55.245 --> 00:01:55.786
Yeah.
00:01:55.786 --> 00:01:56.114
You know?
00:01:56.114 --> 00:02:00.385
I, I'm assuming- Probably- … that, that technique didn't work so good for, for cheese rolling.
00:02:00.885 --> 00:02:03.064
No, I think you get trampled by the others.
00:02:03.075 --> 00:02:09.745
The cheese rolling technique seems to be more like that, but doing it, like, head over bollock all the way down.
00:02:10.284 --> 00:02:14.634
Um- Right … sort of like a, like a cartwheel without any control.
00:02:15.105 --> 00:02:18.536
Um, and, and yeah, it's, uh, it, it… And it's quite an event.
00:02:18.545 --> 00:02:20.955
They get hundreds of people turning up to watch.
00:02:21.465 --> 00:02:30.965
It's, it's not the safest of events either because once there was a, a grandma sat at the bottom, this was in 1990, where they had quite a lot of casualties, I think there was 22.
00:02:31.465 --> 00:02:44.346
But this grandma was there, 59 years old, and she was knocked unconscious by the cheese wheel as eight pounds of double Gloucester bounced up and hit her in the head and, and knocked her out.
00:02:44.355 --> 00:02:46.965
That's- And I'm not sure if she still has PTSD as a result.
00:02:48.044 --> 00:02:48.544
Right.
00:02:48.716 --> 00:02:50.795
Did, did she get to keep the cheese?
00:02:51.544 --> 00:02:58.245
Well, you would think that they would at least give her the prize of, you know, keep the cheese, but I, I- At least a, a little, little segment of it.
00:02:58.344 --> 00:02:59.605
Some compensation.
00:03:00.275 --> 00:03:01.786
Yeah, I believe it went to the winner.
00:03:01.786 --> 00:03:12.495
But the thing that is a bit sad about this year's event is not just jokingly that obviously someone from Germany won it, it's that he was a YouTuber And it looks like there was a bit of a battle.
00:03:12.566 --> 00:03:27.805
So it's Cooper's Hill is what it's called, but this Tom Copake or Copaker, uh, was a German YouTuber, and he challenged the champion, the, the guy who's won the most cheese-rolling competitions, Chris Anderson.
00:03:28.116 --> 00:03:35.064
Um, and he came out of retirement to beat this YouTuber, and unfortunately, yeah, he lost.
00:03:35.786 --> 00:03:45.305
It's a little bit like, uh, like, uh, sort of celebrity boxing sort of come out of retirement things like Mike Tyson, Jake Paul.
00:03:45.775 --> 00:03:47.784
Sound- sounds a little bit like that to me.
00:03:48.966 --> 00:03:49.665
Yeah.
00:03:49.665 --> 00:03:54.015
And it's- Maybe less… Maybe a little bit less glamorous and a bit more British.
00:03:54.754 --> 00:03:55.805
A bit more hilly.
00:03:56.004 --> 00:03:56.655
Yeah.
00:03:56.695 --> 00:04:00.825
I- but it's… I, I, I hope that YouTubers are not gonna start getting involved.
00:04:01.275 --> 00:04:12.955
Um, and apparently even more sad, it's his third consecutive victory, so this YouTuber seems to be coming for the long-standing title, which I guess is why Chris Anderson brought himself out of retirement.
00:04:12.955 --> 00:04:21.415
I wonder if they had like, you know, tale of the tape sort of posters at the cheese event with a big double Gloucester in the middle, and these two guys stood either side.
00:04:21.954 --> 00:04:26.295
That maybe there was a, you know, a weigh-in where they had to kind of hold them back from each other.
00:04:26.295 --> 00:04:30.286
Um- Who's gonna rip him apart, right?
Load full transcript
00:04:30.286 --> 00:04:31.105
Yeah, I can imagine that.
00:04:32.755 --> 00:04:36.065
Would you be brave enough to take on this, this, uh, event?
00:04:36.076 --> 00:04:42.584
'Cause I, I believe there's, like, different categories as well, so they, you know, they, they have, like, men's, women's, like, seniors.
00:04:42.584 --> 00:04:44.576
I think me and you could still get involved.
00:04:44.675 --> 00:04:45.036
Right.
00:04:45.036 --> 00:04:49.115
What… Seniors, do I have, like, what, over 70s or something like that?
00:04:50.536 --> 00:04:53.014
Come on, Grandma, come and launch yourself down this hill.
00:04:53.014 --> 00:04:53.584
It's fine.
00:04:53.625 --> 00:04:54.625
Don't worry about it.
00:04:55.576 --> 00:04:56.665
Go get me that cheese.
00:04:57.105 --> 00:05:00.305
I think it might have been s- slightly economical with the truth on the seniors one.
00:05:00.305 --> 00:05:06.855
But, you know, that would be, would be quite a good way to save some money on the NHS, I suppose, 'cause you can't see- Yeah many of them surviving it, really.
00:05:06.855 --> 00:05:09.245
Just get the numbers down through cheese rolling.
00:05:09.595 --> 00:05:10.935
Uh, I mean, I don't know.
00:05:10.935 --> 00:05:16.504
It… Is it, is it really worth for broken bones to, to get that bit of cheese?
00:05:18.105 --> 00:05:26.115
Um, uh, uh, is, I, I mean, I don't want to upset anyone, but is, is English cheese actually that good anyway?
00:05:27.555 --> 00:05:28.439
Oh, I don't know.
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.935
I think you might have crossed the line there, to be honest with you.
00:05:31.524 --> 00:05:32.886
Um, yeah.
00:05:32.886 --> 00:05:42.526
There's, it's one of the… I heard this phrase as well, it's like, you know the reason why the French have so many cheese, they have so many different cheeses because they've never been able to make one as good as cheddar.
00:05:43.435 --> 00:05:44.884
Oh, right.
00:05:45.194 --> 00:05:45.404
Okay.
00:05:45.475 --> 00:05:46.435
So they just keep trying.
00:05:47.045 --> 00:05:48.384
You know, "Oh, let's make another one.
00:05:48.425 --> 00:05:55.415
Let's make a… Uh, oh, it's still not as good as cheddar." And then, you know- Right … it's like- That's exactly how it went.
00:05:56.024 --> 00:05:57.154
Exactly how it went.
00:05:57.425 --> 00:06:02.446
Like, once you've n- got to cheddar, there's no need to keep making lots of different cheeses, you know?
00:06:02.446 --> 00:06:02.675
Yeah.
00:06:02.706 --> 00:06:03.096
I don't know.
00:06:03.615 --> 00:06:09.675
I think there's maybe other countries that do the, the cheese-making thing a- Oh bit better than the UK.
00:06:09.685 --> 00:06:10.375
Countries?
00:06:10.696 --> 00:06:11.396
Yeah.
00:06:11.396 --> 00:06:14.595
I'm sorry, I can't, I can't- Like- … wo- wo- … Spain, Italy.
00:06:14.595 --> 00:06:19.504
I think f- the French, just in variety as well, it's like pretty good.
00:06:20.475 --> 00:06:24.125
Even like Netherlands have, like, really good cheeses as well.
00:06:24.334 --> 00:06:25.906
It's just like a bit more variety.
00:06:25.954 --> 00:06:31.665
Like, it's not just like cheddar or slightly stronger cheddar or some Wensleydale thing.
00:06:31.675 --> 00:06:34.884
It's just really dry and… I don't know.
00:06:34.944 --> 00:06:37.766
Although Wensleydale with, uh, cranberries is quite good.
00:06:37.935 --> 00:06:39.096
That's quite a good cheese.
00:06:39.096 --> 00:06:39.475
Stilton.
00:06:40.375 --> 00:06:40.855
Yeah.
00:06:40.975 --> 00:06:45.144
You know, I can't believe… I, I, I can, I can almost- … France I can almost accept.
00:06:45.805 --> 00:06:49.615
Italy, fine, can, can kind of accept that as well.
00:06:49.725 --> 00:06:50.524
Spain?
00:06:52.084 --> 00:06:52.904
Oh, it actually is.
00:06:52.904 --> 00:06:54.596
It's like a really big thing there.
00:06:55.105 --> 00:06:58.596
Um- That great cheese-making nation that- … that is known as Spain.
00:06:59.576 --> 00:07:04.064
Yeah, but if you actually go there and try it, it's like, it's really, really good.
00:07:04.975 --> 00:07:09.423
Like Manchego- What, what cheese is- Uh, Manchego- Oh, Manchego … would be the- Heard of that, okay.
00:07:09.423 --> 00:07:09.440
Yeah.
00:07:09.440 --> 00:07:10.206
I thought that was Italian.
00:07:10.216 --> 00:07:10.766
It's just really good.
00:07:10.766 --> 00:07:10.836
All right.
00:07:10.975 --> 00:07:11.435
Give, give you that.
00:07:11.435 --> 00:07:12.255
No.
00:07:12.255 --> 00:07:13.345
But yeah, I could be wrong.
00:07:13.375 --> 00:07:13.425
All right.
00:07:13.425 --> 00:07:25.074
I don't wanna diss, uh, any cheese fanatics in the UK or anything, but I mean, is it worth hurling yourself down a, a massive hill in pursuit of some double Gloucester?
00:07:25.255 --> 00:07:26.315
I don't know.
00:07:26.315 --> 00:07:27.016
It's not really.
00:07:27.016 --> 00:07:32.254
It's all right on cheese on toast, but… Yeah, it's normally plastic and low quality.
00:07:32.254 --> 00:07:34.735
It's the same with the, you know, red Leicester, isn't it?
00:07:34.785 --> 00:07:36.754
It's like… Yeah.
00:07:36.824 --> 00:07:40.805
I wonder how many other counties we can upset by just going through the cheese.
00:07:40.805 --> 00:07:50.036
I think, you know, the… we, we should have a debate here in the comments about which nation has the best cheese and which is the best cheese of that nation, because you are forgetting Stilton.
00:07:50.915 --> 00:07:56.105
Like, Stilton has got a, you know, it's, it's- That is true … it's a very, very good cheese.
00:07:56.105 --> 00:07:59.915
And we do also have a cheese in the UK called stinky bishop's finger as well.
00:08:01.141 --> 00:08:01.711
Oh, right.
00:08:01.841 --> 00:08:02.201
Okay.
00:08:02.221 --> 00:08:04.651
How did, uh, how did it get that name?
00:08:05.620 --> 00:08:14.060
I'm not, I'm not so sure how it got that name- … but I know that you do have to keep it inside a box because it smells so bad.
00:08:14.750 --> 00:08:15.300
Yeah.
00:08:15.300 --> 00:08:18.610
Although I've had that before with, uh, you know, Camembert.
00:08:19.411 --> 00:08:26.701
Mm. Um, I bought some and it's in the fridge, and every time I opened the fridge it was just like, ugh.
00:08:26.951 --> 00:08:28.701
Just unbelievably strong.
00:08:29.810 --> 00:08:30.771
I, I think it does.
00:08:30.771 --> 00:08:31.531
It stinks out.
00:08:31.531 --> 00:08:34.750
So I, I've got a challenge for the audience watching today's video.
00:08:34.750 --> 00:08:40.591
If we get this video to 100 likes, Adam will do the cheese rolling next year.
00:08:40.922 --> 00:08:50.390
And if we get it to 1,000 likes, me and Adam will both do the cheese roll next year, um, sort of wheelbarrowing our way down the hill.
00:08:50.660 --> 00:08:55.931
Um, and if we win the cheese, we're gonna send it to our subscribers, right?
00:08:55.980 --> 00:08:57.601
That's what we're gonna do next year.
00:08:58.471 --> 00:08:59.631
Yeah, it sounds like a plan.
00:08:59.631 --> 00:09:06.041
I, I hope that isn't a, a legally binding contract, uh, but we'll see, see how it goes.
00:09:06.941 --> 00:09:07.461
Yeah.
00:09:07.461 --> 00:09:11.240
Although the chances of us getting to 100 likes, I think you might be safe, my friend.
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:12.490
But, but you never know, right?
00:09:12.490 --> 00:09:16.880
This might be the thing that tips us over the edge with the algorithm.
00:09:17.541 --> 00:09:21.341
So we will see you limbered up at the cheese rolling next year.
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:22.691
Good.
00:09:22.801 --> 00:09:23.801
I'll look forward to it.
00:09:24.860 --> 00:09:25.240
All right, thanks.
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.471
But I guess we'll, uh, see you in the next segment.
00:09:27.990 --> 00:09:29.230
We'll see you next time.
