Ever wondered what it’s like to record a podcast from a caravan in the charming village of Chapel St Leonard's? Join us for this lively episode as we recount the peculiar quirks of the village, bask in the glory of Sheffield United's latest triumph, and grapple with the flood of listener questions and comments we’ve received. Get ready for a delightful mix of karaoke moments and nostalgic jingles, as we chuckle over a listener's quip about a Dixon's advert voice sounding suspiciously like Richard Madeley
Laugh along with us as we dive into dynamic exchanges about community bonds and share some of the wackiest listener anecdotes, like shadow boxing a pigeon – yes, you heard that right! We reminisce about the odd popularity of the band Reef among our listeners and dissect the cultural punch of shows like TFI and Soccer AM during the ladette era. Plus, who could forget Björk's unforgettable run-in with journalists? As we journey through memories of teenage drinking antics and youthful innocence, we even break into an impromptu sing-along to Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way." Don't forget to connect with us on Twitter; we love hearing from you!
Living with Maidly Living with Maidly Living with.
Speaker 2Maidly, Maidly, Living with Maidly. Hello and welcome to Living with Maidly. This is we're not actually. This could be a midweek Maidlaid, it could be an actual episode. We're not sure yet, to be fair, but anyway, I'm Andrew, as always, and I'm joined by Liam.
Speaker 3Hello, live in person. No call. Today we're actually here at the caravan in Chapel, st Leonard's, on the road.
Speaker 2I'm staring into his eyes. Staring into his eyes. Staring into his eyes. I won't be too long. We've got so much to go through. We asked you a few questions and stuff and that'll come. We're going to do that tomorrow separate session.
Speaker 3Yeah, because almost too much to deal with in one hit, I think so. Thank you for questions.
Speaker 2This is comments on things you've done previously firstly, obviously people like to know about Chapel Settlers like an hard road show. How have you felt so far, are you?
Speaker 3happy. Yeah, we've seen a few mad heads, haven't we? You hysterically said on the way here we're back to the strangest village in Britain, yeah. Summed it up, we couldn't stop laughing. But yeah, no, it's been fine. There's been the usual sort of rabble of kids running about us late, but we've seen Sheffield United win and yeah, all good. All good Back at the caravan, back having a drink and looking at some listener comments. So all is good in the world.
Speaker 2Yeah, so tomorrow. Well, the next episode you'll be here will be the question that you've sent us, and thanks for all the questions, for seeing everything.
Speaker 3And we've tested out a bit of karaoke, by the way, as well. So you are going to get that. We've sampled a bit of karaoke Big time.
Speaker 2In fact I think we're in between all the comments you're going to put karaoke. Ah yeah, that's a good point actually.
Speaker 3So I just said, you might, you, will, you, might, you will, you, might, you will don't know which, but there will be some karaoke in there, yep.
Speaker 1I don't want nobody else. I love you. He's lying, there won't be somebody else, and that's true, he's lying. So you'll always be my friend, sweet Andrew why does he pretend?
Speaker 2ain't no doubt it's plain to see Women like you's no good for me, your heart beating out the door. I'm not a fool gonna ask for more, ask for more, ask for more, ask for more, ask for more. Um, right, so to the comments. Um, major the Major Charles, the big man himself, um, he said he he's not sure if he's been mentioned, but he thought the man in the Dixon's advert. You know Dixon the Dixon's. He thought that sounded like Richard Maidley.
Speaker 3Yeah, we didn't pick up on that. I kind of get where he's coming from. I don't think you're having it are you.
Speaker 2I don't think that sounds like Richard Maidley, purely because I can't imagine Maidley going Dixon, Dixons. I don't think he'd do that, I'll just say it once.
Speaker 3Yeah, I, I'll just say it once.
Speaker 2I'll say it once I've said it.
Speaker 3I've said it.
Speaker 2I've said Dixon's, he's actually.
Speaker 3He sent us a good question actually coming up from the major as well.
Speaker 2And yeah, documentary suggestions, yeah yeah, honestly, obviously the major sent us a documentary about like Blackpool, pledge of Beach and stuff and we will. We will cover that at one point. I feel a bit sorry, actually, because we were going to do the Weirdest Village thing, but before that we were going to do the Millennium Dome thing. Yeah, yeah, and I couldn't find out what that was called. And I have found it out now.
Speaker 3But a great question coming up from Major Charles, so stick around for that in tomorrow's recording On the jingles.
Speaker 2Km1984 said the red car and the blue car had a race, but he does admit that we have covered that in a different episode, so I haven't seen Peter Kaye last week, was it?
Speaker 3And he mentioned that. So he started, did he? Yeah, I don't know if he's taking inspiration from Madeley Well, probably he could be. But yeah, he mentioned jingles and the red car and the blue car had a race. So yeah, it did get featured in that as well. Our rule was self-inflicted rule was, if we mentioned it previously, we were covered.
Speaker 2Yeah, he said it as well. Lil for the totally tropical taste. I can't remember that. Lil the totally tropical taste.
Speaker 3I should have remember that. The totally traffic-contained. I should have known that that should be right up your street. Yeah, I can't remember that.
Speaker 2Yeah, I should have known that, but no, no, don't know that. And Dr Pepper, so misunderstood, don't know about that, dr Pepper, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1I never like.
Speaker 3Dr Pepper. Is it Annecy? There's something about Dr Pepper that I don't like. Is it anisey?
Speaker 2I don't know, you don't like to be fair, so yeah, no. But is Dr Pepper? Anisey, I'm not saying, you know what I mean is Dr Pepper an anisey flavour drink? I think it is not entirely sure to be fair. Matt said a few classic jingles. Just one Cornetto.
Speaker 3So nearly on my list.
Speaker 2So nearly yeah. Is this a jingle? I suppose it is a jingle. Pick up a penguin.
Speaker 3Yeah, it probably is. I can't stand penguins.
Speaker 2When I go to pharmacy and I want to say I've come to pick up a prescription, I always think about that Penguin advert. Yeah, paxil the Rooster Booster Don't know that one. No, I don't know that one, to be fair. Uh-huh, we're wasting precious time. Don't talk, kiss, ugh, make a mind. The one and only reason it's fun, fun, fun. That's a well baby only just begun, so don't talk, just kiss. We're beyond words and sound. Don't talk, just kiss. Let your tongue fool around. Paul said catching up on Holiday, loving the episode, and he said when we started singing the Little John song, he thought they were more like a casually racist version of this. But I genuinely don't remember.
Speaker 3Yeah, we weren't going for that. I don't know. I'm not saying it didn't exist, but I don't know it. We didn't mean that. No.
Speaker 2And said thanks for this. Ang, actually, Our own jingles were better than most of the ad choices, as in your theme at the start. Yeah, well, obviously your piano bass sort of Ah right. Our jingles were creative right, yeah, so thanks for that, ange. Anyway, but she said umbongo. There'd be a problematic accent to that which I actually did anyway.
Speaker 3I don't think you shied away from that. No, no, I did it.
Speaker 2I did it in this like unbongo, unbongo, stick it up your jingo, whatever.
Speaker 3I said they drink it in the.
Speaker 2Congo. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, stick it up your jingo. Well, actually, bobby B said, like you should do a delivery madeleine, on mis unbongo, unbongo. Stick it up your jinko. Um JP said there's an article saying that Sandra McKenzie did the uh oh, body form. Body form for you did you know? I didn't know this. She used to go out with Prince, I don't know who she is, to be honest.
Speaker 3But well, I don't but the body form woman. It's Prince's ex-girlfriend. No, I did not, I did not know that, so that adds to no again agenda.
Speaker 2Yeah, uh, ljd talking about tfi friday. So we had a guy in the football team who had the look of george formby, but less attractive, um, and he. They used to sing like ugly ugly bloke to him, and then he ended up on TFI Friday as George Formby. Well, yeah, yeah. George Formby wasn't a looker though, was he no? Imagine being under George Formby. That's bad. Imagine that Nav said simply Vinnie left his violent ways on the football pitch. This is in when he talks about whether he could take him.
Speaker 3Yeah, whether ways on the football pitch this is in.
Speaker 2When he talks about whether he could take him yeah, whether he could take him in a fight Nick said he always wondered who performed the song Stick Em Up. Punk Is the Fun Living Criminals. A lot of people slagging you off here.
Speaker 3To be fair, no yeah, but come on, I didn't know that was them. I know who did the song Stick Em Up. Punk Is the Fun Living Criminals. Yeah, in that little bit of the smartly dressed man who didn't look anything like I remember Huey looking. Yeah, I know his name. Yeah, they don't sing that in the bit that we saw. So I didn't know that was the Fun of the Criminals. No, and in fact actually let's correct that even further. Go on, go on. I did say I think this is the fun of having criminals, but it doesn't look like I expect them to look. So, yeah, who said that?
Speaker 2That's Matt. Well, are you?
Speaker 3having a go, Matt. He was laying himself down there. I did know who that was.
Speaker 2Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3To be fair, but a lot of people are't got with you. Yeah, well, I mean Dead Bat. I don't know if you got his comment yeah, dead Bat's here as well.
Speaker 2I had to stop his run to call me a moron, didn't I? Yeah, he said the lack of recognition and realisation, or even the existence of the long pigs. He says one on one, on and on no, I knew of them.
Speaker 3I didn't know who they were. To be fair, jodie, my girlfriend listened to it and I said to her I'm getting loads of stick for not knowing them. She said, yeah, but this was a long time ago and we were young. And then she listened to the episode and said yeah, I can't believe you didn't know.
Speaker 2So yeah, the didn't know the existence of the Lone Pigs. And he said On and On is a beautiful track, skunk and Ante, several excellent songs. And then he just put Shed.
Speaker 3Seven, with no songs after that. Well, I kind of criticised him, didn't I? Yeah, I don't know what would we have been watching this. We would have been 15. Yeah, I was kind of just getting into music at this stage. So yeah, apologies, you really killed a young man trying to make his way in the world.
Speaker 2But Deb also said the heart attack heart attack segment is the greatest and worst minutes of audio he's ever seen. He said he was shouting it's heart attack and you were obviously shouting you fucking idiot. But as Dead Back Light put that, he got it wrong as well.
Speaker 3He got it wrong.
Speaker 2Because he put heart attack and it's not heart attack.
Speaker 3We were shouting at the radio it's heart attack. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I must admit I did think in the edit, the bit where I sort of mumble you fucking idiot was kind of meant with affection but was kind of meant with affection. But I did think does that sound harsh Like it? I don't give a shit. No, I know you're not bothered, but I just wonder to the listener does it like you fucking idiot?
Speaker 2Like I don't know. Well, Deb said he had to pull the car over because you were laughing.
Speaker 1That much about the hard time.
Speaker 2No, I think he's. Yeah, yeah, sorry, kate, you have to nearly pull the car over because you were laughing that much. And Nick said he was on a dog walk and nearly crashed his dog. Gary said heart attack having stitches. Yeah, I mean, I don't know like genuine.
Speaker 3I love how you do these things, by the way, as well. Like you, kind of you've got something in your head and you won't like instantly say, oh no, that's probably not right, no, definitely not, definitely not.
Speaker 2And I say no, I don't think it was honestly 100%, definitely not.
Speaker 3And then I say no, but it might not have been that, it might not actually.
Speaker 1Yeah when you're punched and drunk and you felt embarrassed. My heart goes out to you, so I offer love, and it was not required. Oh, what else can I do?
Speaker 2Richard said I was starting to believe Richard May. The Living Mabley should I say podcast was just a chat GPT experiment because we sound so real for so long and then we know nothing all of a sudden. Yeah, it's a cruel blow. From who's that? From Rich, that's from.
Speaker 3Fair enough. Rich, yeah, but we're not AI generated. We do know nothing nothing, it turns out.
Speaker 2Uh ann said I listened to the first episode about uh tfi and approved the word. Zany. She says she's not heard that in 20 years and it may be time for a comeback. That must be you. I don't think I'd say zany no, I think it's from um, is it not from Tony Hart, who said like Ah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3What did he say? Yeah, I think you're right. I think that is it, yeah.
Speaker 2JP said we're talking about his Riverside studio is the same as this morning's studio. I've got to figure out what it was in Liverpool. Yeah, Hammersmith, he says Fountain of knowledge isn't he JP?
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, thank Hammersmith. He says Fountain of knowledge, isn't he JP? Yeah, yeah, thanks, jp Chimpman. Eh, and I am calling him this because he said on BlazePod recently. He said like I don't know what. He said like replacing Mr Blob A with someone more knowledgeable, so he's been called Chimpman from now on. And he just says these days you get arrested, don't you? These days, you say you're serving out justice in the paltry community. These days you get thrown in jail, don't you?
Speaker 3So We've incorporated that into some of our world-class banter this evening, haven't we these?
Speaker 2days these days. Webding said he recently shadow boxed a pigeon but he didn't come to blows. He said the bird must have had a respect.
Speaker 3But he was sort of in the same realms when he appalled for justice.
Speaker 2Yeah, because he would like defending his child, as it says here. But he said he distance and he's not happy with us. He says unbelievable slur that we called him our mate.
Speaker 3I thought you were going to say we called him Bob Monkos.
Speaker 2Yes, ok, yeah, sorry but he also said but I think he's more mad that we said more. I said like he saw Reef at Glastonbury and he said he didn't purposely go to see Reef but the five well known songs. He saw him like on an accidental visit.
Speaker 1So lay your hands.
Speaker 3And on the slur Webber, we consider you a mate. So if you don't consider us one Fair play. Yes, that's your call on decisions.
Speaker 2Did you know Reef was an anagram, sorry to say, of three.
Speaker 3Who's that? Is that still all?
Speaker 2over. That's JP, JP, yeah, JP yeah.
Speaker 3I did him, but yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2Dev Bart on the TFI said love the review of the programme. That was definitely much of its time. Much like Soccer AM, it worked in the terms of the ladette lad ladette era. Interviews were really okay, but it were all about the music, which I agree to be fair.
Speaker 3It were all about the music. For me to be fair, yeah, and, as we've proven, I wasn't. I was into my music in that era, so that's probably why it didn't resonate with me.
Speaker 2But yeah, good shout. Carl did a really good shout at this. Actually, he said, was the whole being nice to Björn, because at the time when she was battering journalists, because she wasn't battering journalists. There was an incident at the airport, wasn't there?
Speaker 3Yeah, Not walking around smashing journalists to bits Like yeah, she kicked off, lost it in an airport and absolutely yeah. I think this is a really good point. Is that the joke? I thought it was a bit slimy that he was trying it on with her. It's a joke.
Speaker 2I just want to stay on the right side of her in case she kicks off and obviously like when she was kicking off at this journalist, like I mentioned it on the TFI pod. This is when that guy like fucking shot himself in the face. Yeah, yeah, she's obviously on edge.
Speaker 3She got her oysters and champagne, was it?
Speaker 2Yeah, on edge. So you got our oysters and champagne, was it? Yeah, yeah, I think that's what it was. Yeah. Carl also said that he was trying to get his head round that this was not our pre-going out warm up. He said he's mind blown that us two were watching this to settle down and going for a long lay down in the park. What I'll say about this is like we weren't old enough to yeah we couldn't.
Speaker 3I don't even think the girls in our year that looked older than us could have been clubbing at this time. I think this, this is just too nice 15 so maybe one or two girls in our year were old enough to get into clubs and stuff. Yeah we. The best we could do is drink some cider in a field which, to be fair, I never was a big fan of.
Speaker 2Did you ever drink cider or like alcohol in a graveyard? No, but Got done it.
Speaker 3Yeah, it wouldn't bother me one bit. Well, actually, when we were older than this, so people, you know so, when we were, let's say, 25, I once walked to a pub in Dromfield with Damo and Furness and they wouldn't walk through the graveyard, so I just walked through on my own. By the way, this is not me being an idiot. Oh, here we go, fucking, acting all off. No, no, no, here we go, I walked through it.
Speaker 2Yeah, this is how ridiculous.
Speaker 3A couple of ghosts came out and like, yeah, sc, a couple of ghosts came out and like, scrolled with blood and 666 on my chest, no, but there's no. They were terrified of walking through the graveyard at night, even though it's a slight cut through, and they sort of said like daringly, like I'll walk through, then there's no fear of me to be in a graveyard. Like, why would you be scared of people that have died? I weren't asking you that, I was asking you no no, no, I haven't I have not Right.
Speaker 2That's it. That's it. That's all we need to know. Leopard bitch's fucking house paid up a girl trying to be in the twelfth grade. It's ironic. I brew with the fucking liquor. Swanick, I put it in the big fat fanny Pulled her in the guilt and the two nanny, ha ha, ha, ha ha ha. Real Bormie B said great part again about the strangest village, the last episode actually. He said we're too diplomatic about Pam. He said he agrees that the whole documentary should have focused more on Barry because he's obviously super intelligent.
Speaker 3But I mean, you were like sort of I mean we were both like I thought that was the villain of the piece. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but he obviously wants more, doesn't he? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he wants hatred, he wants pitchforks, he wants yeah, to be fair. Yeah, we were leaning Because obviously she's got issues and whatever learning difficulties.
Speaker 2I didn't want to be too nasty, but yeah, she's really unpleasant travelling, said um, because we were talking about the google translator, like what happened after oh, he translated it for us. Yeah, he said after three months on his own, barry is doing much better.
Speaker 3He started socializing with people and creating a new life with himself, outside, outside of bottom yeah, obviously cheers ben, but the bit I read afterwards was that he ends up back there. So I don't. It's nice to know that at least he enjoyed some of his time in Whitby, but again, I'd be intrigued to know how he ended up back there.
Speaker 2Well, cappy responded with Bro's, a manhole in Oxford. Oh, about, about, barry, barry, yeah. Maybe, yeah, could be Berlin, berlin Blade, who were the reason? We did the documentary at all said. I'm actually pleasantly surprised that Andy does not live in the village, given his crippling dyspraxia yeah.
Speaker 3I'm actually fair play to Berlin and Cappy, because they're multiple posts that made me chuckle over the past week or so.
Speaker 2So yeah, Well, I've had a little bit this weekend so far about my dyspraxia that you've like sort of past week or so. So yeah, well, I've had a little thing this weekend so far about me, this practice, that you've like sort of gone fucking out, here we go erm, oh, shouting.
Speaker 3Yeah, you've been really loud at court, random words shouted. You've spilt a drink on the side on the floor that I've had to wipe up. Yeah, you've left your coat. I didn't know that. That's just poor memory. You left your coat in the club. Yeah, you killed a man.
Speaker 2Um, yeah, now that didn't happen no, I think so far you don't know where you're going, even though we walked through the same site. Yeah, you have no memory, I have no idea. Is that his distraction? Yeah, his direction and stuff his pure distraction.
Speaker 3Yeah, you've got no knowledge of which way we should be turning at any point in time, no, no, but I mean on the way here, obviously. I mean, I'm not saying you've ruined it, but obviously you know you've done what you've done.
Speaker 2On the way here you were amazed at how many times like I shouted random words and when I said, oh, that's dyspraxia, I think you're a bit dubious. But then I showed you the leaflet and that's, that's another one.
Speaker 3So if anyone, ever meets me um and I all of a sudden like go.
Speaker 2Yeah, I think that that is genuinely is dyspraxia. Yeah, so, and if you're not, having that.
Speaker 3If he, if he's a bit touchy-feely, he's got a leaflet to back it up.
Speaker 2No, there's no good stuff with dyspraxia. Anyway, neil said and we are going to do this. By the way, neil said a show you might consider is Blood on the Carpet, walking with DJs. I really want to do this. He's talking about when all the people on Radio 1 got pregnant.
Speaker 1To be fair.
Speaker 3I like the sound of of that, but that's right up your street, yeah.
Speaker 2Honestly brilliant show. I've seen it before, brilliant Ryan said, and I think he's right here when is the Sopranos episode? You fucking cowards?
Speaker 3Yeah, but it's another one though that, because that to me Is the best TV. I would say Like there's the obvious Sort of counterpoints the Wire, there's the.
Speaker 2It is a spoiler though.
Speaker 3There's Dexter and House, if you discount it.
Speaker 2It is the best TV for us of all time.
Speaker 3But how do you do a multi-part, multi-episode series in a one-hour episode? It almost has to be a series, which I'm not discounting, but that it would be so hard to do it justice. Because, yeah, one thing I will say is it's the best thing I've seen on TV, I think.
Speaker 2It is. How do you fucking cover like if I don't know if Ryan's got an idea, genuinely like, of how we can cover it?
Speaker 1I want to do it.
Speaker 2I want to do it. I want to do it.
Speaker 3Maybe we could do our three best characters each out of it, or our best episode each, or something like that.
Speaker 2Imagine if they're all Toner.
Speaker 1I've got him as well, Ah shit.
Speaker 3Number two, I've got Toner. I've got Toner again, probably only Paul actually. But yeah, I'd love to do something with Sopranos. We may well try and do something with it, and that's not like a sort of sarcastic dig.
Speaker 2If you've got an idea to how we could do it. Honestly, ryan, we want to do it.
Speaker 3If you've got an idea to how we could do it, I just think it's too big to do it justice, and maybe, maybe the way we do it is our favourite episode each, but I still don't think that's enough. It doesn't cover it. It doesn't do it justice, does it?
Speaker 2Yeah, it's all to do it justice, like we are doing, like a fucking Soprano spin-off. Anyway, mr Earth said more evidence of Maylor changing direction. Joe Pasquale, we're back on the TV doing blankety-blank after we mentioned him. So we've done the reverse, haven't we?
Speaker 1We've got Oasis back.
Speaker 2We've got Joe Pasquale back. I don't know else.
Speaker 3Tony Hart, is he still around? No, he's probably dead.
Speaker 2No, to be fair anyway. Ryan again said well, we're going to talk about this tomorrow with the questions, but he tagged us and said Hulk Hogan once claimed to have he wrestled 400 days in one year because he travelled that much between Japan and USA. The added time made it possible. That's not possible, does it Liam?
Speaker 3No, so you can. You could have 366 days in a year by sort of pinching it at the start and the end, so you could have a day on each end. But you can't do that within the year because you're always going forwards and back to the day or the not day. So, no, you can't. Sorry, hulk, pour another drink now as we talk. No, it's not possible as far as I'm aware. So there's 365 days in a year 0.25, because you get a leap year. So I think you could do 366 if you did your datelines correct, I think.
Musical Musings and Audience Interaction
Speaker 2So that is all the comments from the latest episodes. That would be a midweek made like.
Speaker 3Some good stuff in there. You might have heard that as a midweek made like. You might have heard that as part midweek made like. You might have heard that as part of an episode. We don't know.
Speaker 2We don't know, we just don't know. We don't know. You might have heard some karaoke in the middle of that as well. But tomorrow we are going to take on your questions and that's some great ones, actually, as for all the questions and stuff and thanks for all the comments thousands, hundreds tens billions a few questions but now genuinely quite a few really good ones actually yeah, so that's us for this episode, I think yeah, that's it for now, although it might not finish the episode.
Speaker 3It might make up part of another episode, but you'll know this. When you're listening, you'll be able to see how long's left. Au revoir, au revoir, it's a fantastic song, it's great.
Speaker 1Loving you Isn't the right thing to do, how can I Ever change? So here's what yeah.
Speaker 3He's so fucking high. Stop this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So here's how I wanted to do it.
Speaker 1Loving you isn't the right thing to do. How can I ever change things that I fear? Yeah, if I could, maybe I'd give you my world. Yeah, how can I when you won't take it from me? Yeah, you can go your own way. Yeah, you can go your own way. Yeah, you can call it another lonely day, another lonely day. Yeah, you can call it another lonely day, another lonely day.
