WELCOME TO THE REPUBLIC OF BIFFTOPIA?
🕑 Added 2025-08-18 07:49:58 +0000 UTCMorning all!
I was meant to post this yesterday, but then I got my leg bitten off by a shark. It was SO awful!
I’m not entirely sure why, but we’ve fallen a bit behind with everything. Thus, Bubblegun will be late this week, we recorded a BYAMPOD in error (which, yes, for those who are interested in Sanja’s honest unfiltered reactions about the neo-prog band IQ, we will upload on Patreon), and I’ve still not gotten you the Nottingham outtakes or the last Bubblegun Extra we recorded. Leave it all with us. There never seems to be enough time to get everything done.
We’ll do a Biffo’s Brain this week. Possibly Thursday, but we’re also filming (yes – again!! See us go!) so it’ll depend on which day(s) we’re out and about. Will confirm as soon as we know.
The new video has done fine – kind of what we expected them to be getting when we started the new channel. Down somewhat from where they were before, but good in the context of the number of subs we have, and the fact we’re effectively brand new. Plus, we just feel so much clearer being away from Digi’s baggage, and that’s the main thing.
The big irony is… after all that fuss, I’m just enjoying doing lighter dicking around vids at the minute. We’re going to keep that vibe going over the remainder of summer where views are generally lower on YouTube anyway, and build up a solid foundation. The last three videos have been such a joy to film knowing they’ll be shown to subscribers who get us.
I honestly hadn’t realised how much where I was at had been reflected in our more serious output. We’re still planning big, epic, videos, but right now… it’s just a relief to be feeling lighter.
Talking of, we’re off on our next nonsense ghost hunt in a couple of weeks, joined by those of you who volunteered yourselves to be part of the night. No idea how that’s going to pan out, but if it’s anything like last year’s… well… That will be one of at least two ‘spooky’ specials we’ll have out for Halloween month. And, of course, we have our return to the live arena at Chunky Fringe on October 4th. Would love to know how many of you are planning to attend.
Anyway. Next vid. We’ve a couple of candidates. We thought we knew where we were going, and then… yesterday we stumbled upon an idea that’s too good not to do, but is going to take a couple of weeks to set up. So, we’ll put a pin in that while we wait for some stuff to arrive and we fire off a few emails.
And on that note… we need your help with it. Now… let’s say – hypothetically – we’re setting up our own country, and all of you are citizens of it…
Doesn’t matter how ridiculous or stupid they are. They can even be serious. But leave a comment below with your suggestions for what should be included in our new country’s constitution, and suggestions for a possible name for it.
My first thought was the Republic of Bifftopia, but that’s a bit egotistical… We'll try to include as many of them as possible in the video.
