Around the World in 80 Raves - Joel and Bex

Joel and Bex partied late in channel4 chat, answering your questions about 'Around the world in 80 Raves'.

Chat Ed : We're just getting Bex and Joel online...

Bex : Hello everyone it's Rebecca here!
Joel : Hi everyone it's Joel in Leicester, here with my good friend Glenn!

Chat Ed : OK folks, first question coming up:

Ian : How did you wangle it? Bex, Joel, you lucky, lucky people.
buzz : how did you get chosen for this????

Joel : Apart from sucking a lot of cock... we used our brain power and wrote to production companies.
Bex : Basically we were very very lucky.

jonny R Y : I liked your stint on Jerry, Did us proud.

Joel : Jerry Springer was one of the happiest moments of my life. I'd waited for it for years! We're going to try to get a campaign together to get a song released.

Badger : What kind of budget was the trip made on?

Joel : We had 800,000 pounds - that was purely for the alcohol and the people at C4's over-inflated wages!

Bex : We actually only got 240 dollars a week for expenses.

Jon : It true then you all masturbated on the bus?

Bex : No, it was only Chantal.


Joel : And Glenn. He only did it when the bus was moving so no one heard him.


Bex : Boppa did too. Cheryl didn't need to, she was too busy getting shagged.

EddieG : Bex, I read the interview in Mixmag and saw you arguing with Cheryl last week. Did you really not like her that much?

Bex : Everyone had an argument with her but it was just mine that was shown. But, as you can tell, no I didn't really get on with her.
Joel : She's a bitch.
Joel laughs

skelo : did you all know each other before the show?

Joel : Me and Glenn have been best friends since primary school. Boppa and I have been in a band together since we were 14.
Bex : I'd known Chantal for 4 years. And Cheryl for 2 weeks.

Craig : How did Cheryl get involved in this if no-one knew her?

Bex : Cos she's a stripper!

Diggler : hehe

Joel : No, Bex and Cheryl were friends when they were kids. She called up on the night that we were writing the show.
Bex : So we invited her.

sanja : the series was pretty short how long exactly did the whole experience last?

Bex : 52 days.
Joel : Three or four months before we went, which is two months for the mathematical geniuses, then two months out there and then a year waiting for it to be edited, well just under a year.

starfish : i could be wrong but 52 didn't used to equal 80.
4oclock : did u actually go 2 80 raves?!

Bex : We went to two raves!
Bex laughs

Joel : Somebody at Rapido thought it was a funny name for a TV show... but we might do more of the same, so we'll make up 80 somehow.

Steve : Any regrets of things you wanted to do which you didn't do?

Joel : I walked out of the sex club because everyone in there was pissing me off and I missed Glenn and Boppa kissing the same woman at the same time.

Bex : So kissing each other really. I didn't have time to to think of regretting stuff, we were so busy, and I didn't walk out of anywhere like Joel did.

sam : who had the most sex!

Bex : CHERYL!
Joel : I think she's the only one who got sex.

Fox87 : first of I gotta say wicked program. If you had to pick one place to re visit where would it be?

Bex : San Diego was excellent and Atlanta.
Joel : Yeah we need to go back to San Diego because they're our brothers now.

hummus : bex, i noticed a lack of nudity on your part, why was this?

Bex : I was sparing everybody's eyes.
Bex laughs

D-Man : you have the best body!

Bex : It's a minging sight trust me.
Joel : It's the air of mystery that makes them think that!

Jerome : This ones for Joel, what did happen during your 'initiation' with the frat boys in san diego??

Joel : We got our arses spanked with a big paddle and then we learnt the secret handshake.

Bex : The elephant walk!

pinkie : i have watched all the series so far, i have laughed i have cringed, what made you laugh the most and what made you cringe the most?

Bex : Boppa and Glenn made me cringe the most.
Bex laughs
Bex : Laughing the most had to be the shopping centre scene.

Joel : Jerry Springer was the top for me. I cringe every time I storm off in a huff. I cringe at Cheryl as well.

showusyerpubes : Boppa did look to have quite a big 'un when we saw him getting into the mudbath.
sensai : as you say worms were in the mud, what do you mean by WORMS??

Joel laughs
Joel : Boppa is hung like a donkey.

jonny : LOL

Joel : That was his Gorillas in the Mist shot. The worms were mine and Glenn's cock.
Joel laughs

chilli : The bus driver didn't seem to appear much - was he cool?

Bex : Ah he was amazing.
Joel : He needs his own TV show, he was the most sarcastic bloke I have ever met.
Bex : He had like six wives, he was so cool.

ME : did he not mind taking you everywhere? when did he sleep?

Joel : He slept when we were out partying. When we were asleep he drove and vice versa.

Simon R : Did he go to any parties with you?

Bex : He went out and got really really drunk with us at the Burning man festival and decorated the bus for us for when we got back.

gazz : which was the worst place you visited??

Bex : Nashville was pretty crap.
Joel : Yeah Nashville sucks!

Slamboree : Bex- You didn't seem to get too friendly with the San Diego boys. Why was this?

Bex : I did! That's the power of editing, I loved them, I 'had' every single one of them!
Joel : You can't blame the edit!

InKubus : How long did the smell last in the bus?

Joel laughs
Joel : Until Boppa left!
Bex : Yeah!

Marcus : Where there any rough moments?

Joel : There were, yes.
Bex : We didn't have a bath or washing facilities and Cheryl wore the same purple thong for 6 weeks!
Joel : You also never saw us eat in the show...that's because we didn't.

King : Who vomited the most on the trip?

Joel : Cheryl was sick every episode, she was the Queen of Sick.

stoney : are there plans 4 an uncut version?

Joel : That version is pretty uncut anyway!
Bex : Yeah!

Chat Ed : OK y'all - our half hour is up now, so last three questions now, thanks...

trAJik : who organised all the contacts in the various places? He/she deserves a lot of credit.

Joel : It was a guy called Danny Carvello who used to work on things like the Frank Skinner show, he was a top man and does deserve credit.

joninleicester : now you've been back for so long and suddenly famous how r you finding that?

Bex : Hardly famous!
Joel : It is cool being recognised everywhere though.

jamie : any chance of a new series??

Bex : Yes, we are working on a new series at the minute, well trying to blagg a new series!

EddieG : I'll go instead of Cheryl. I don't vomit at all!!!!! TAKE ME!!

Joel : And of course you can come with a name like EddieG you *must* be cool.

sweep : please tell me what else you did in Chicago apart from jerry?

Joel : Not much else, we were only there for 2 days. We went to that Jazz club too.

Roughrider : Did anyone buy anything from the sex shop, glenn ws looking at lubes wasnt he?
SithUK : tell the truth Joel, U bought that cock ring didn't u, When Bex wasn't looking ;)

Bex : I bought 2 vibrators: one for me, one for Joel.

Joel : It goes up my arse, I like it.

Gizmo : WOOHOO!!

Joel chuckles

Mic : What are you doing since you finished filming?
big-one : what are you guys doing with your lives now?
