He Was Whipping Up Shit In A Kettle Boiling Poo In A Kettle
He Was Whipping Up Shit In A Kettle is a slander audio meme built from a January 2025 UK podcast clip of former prison officer Jeff the Gov describing an inmate boiling his own feces in a kettle. The clip resurfaced on Instagram Reels and TikTok in July 2026 as a lip-dub used to trash anime, football teams, and albums.
Overview
He Was Whipping Up Shit In A Kettle, also called Boiling Poo In A Kettle, is an audio meme built around a clip from a British podcast in which former U.K. prison officer Jeff the Gov describes catching an inmate boiling his own feces in a kettle after being denied dinner1. The clip started circulating as a lip-dub and slander audio on Instagram Reels and TikTok in July 2026, more than a year after the original episode aired2.
Videos in the format typically pair the audio with an image, clip, or ranking of something the poster wants to publicly trash, whether a football result, an anime series, or a music album3. Alternate re-dubs later swapped the word for "indifference" or "amazing foods," letting creators reuse Jeff's delivery for neutral shrugs or straight-up compliments4.

How to Use This Meme
Creators typically overlay the "whipping up shit in a kettle" audio onto a photo, clip, or ranking of whatever they want to publicly drag, with the on-screen subject appearing right as Jeff hits the punchline3. For softer takes, the "indifference" dub works as a shrug and the "amazing foods" dub flips the format into praise, using the same delivery to compliment rather than insult4.
