Matt has hit 1 million subscribers on YouTube. Bec has not brought anything to celebrate.
For Makeaway Takeaway, they filmed in a big house in Manchester. For legal reasons, someone (Bec) has to say in the house over night. While there, she did some writing for her Horror Heights series, when suddenly she heard some footsteps. Scary hijinks ensue, but you need to listen to the episode (it's worth it).
How many molehills would you need to make a mountain out of them?
Matt went and found a molehill (frustrum-shaped), which he then measured. A mountain needs to be at least 1000 ft (304.8 m) to be considered a mountain and not a hill. To compute the volume, Matt takes into accounnt the angle of repose, i.e. how the dirt slumps. Bec notes the problem's similarity to problem 011-2. In total, you need 3'060'370'873 molehills to make a mountain.
As a Hill, Bec approves and gives this problem a ding.
How can one make friends after adulthood? It's weird not being able to just hang out and talk about stuff. How can one make new friends and not just adult acquaintances?
Bec doesn't have an acquaintance setting, she is always in friend mode. She suggests just forcing yourself on people (not physically though). If you go in with the expectation that you will be friends, most people won't resist it. She also suggests repeating someone's name when talking to someone, to remember it better. Bec made a lot more friends when she started putting herself out there and doing things on her own (e.g. signing up for clubs and sports activities). Bec suggests improv clubs. You also need to be proactive and make plans, things won't happen on their own. Matt's strategy is stealing friends from other friends, though this also requires being proactive. Bec recommends common interest groups for things you're passionate about.
Bec tries to start #friendding to share friend advice and stories.
When Matt was talking about discounting every lottery ticket containing the number 7, Matt said it was over 0.5 million discounted tickets. Peter Rowlett checked and realized it was actually 4.5 million tickets. Matt had just read the wrong number from his spreadsheet, the remaining numbers and working out were correct.
A lot of people wrote in to complain about "no bacteria in food". However, just after saying "no bacteria", Matt and Bec said "except the good bacteria", but Lauren cut it out of the episode.
The Dream Factory were very impressed with Matt's pun. What they didn't know was that Matt and Bec sat there for quite a while thinking of pun movie titles, but it was cut out of the episode by Lauren.
While Matt's go-to film franchise is Fast & Furious, Bec's is Dunston Checks In. Matt doesn't believe Bec's claim that the listeners know this movie, so they do a Twitter poll.
"Sometimes the edit taketh, and sometimes the edit giveth, but it all balances out" — Matt
Matt realizes he didn't bring his cards from home, so he searches for and finds them while Bec does the credits. It is not Bec's card.
