Living With Madeley
Midweek Madeley - 19/11/24
Ever wondered why a Ronaldo cup could kick off an uproarious football debate or how a mysterious man in the crowd at the Eric Cantona kung fu kick incident could intrigue us so? We kick off this Madeley episode with some personal tales, including Andrew's ongoing battle with a cold and humorous family updates, setting the stage for a chat filled with laughter and football anecdotes. The spotlight shines on San Marino's unexpected rise in the Nations League, prompting playful talks about cheering them on in a live match. As we stroll down memory lane, the stoic figure in the Cantona saga becomes a focal point of our imagination, sparking lively scenarios about his unshakeable calm amidst chaos.
Technical hiccups take center stage as we fumble with a new microphone, all thanks to astute listener feedback. Our comedic misadventures with audio equipment add a touch of humor to the tech talk, underscoring our dedication to improving your listening experience. Listener engagement doesn't stop there; inspired by your suggestions, we entertain the prospect of Sopranos-themed segments, diving into beloved moments and memorable characters. Ever fallen asleep to a podcast and dreamt you were part of it? We chat about this whimsical experience, expressing gratitude to our supportive listeners who make this journey worthwhile.
Nostalgia fuels our discourse as we revisit retro podcasts and TV shows, with historical football episodes surprisingly doubling as a bedtime lullaby. In a lighter vein, we muse over our post-COVID drinking habits and the cultural impact of bands like Status Quo and Kaiser Chiefs. Our trip down memory lane wouldn't be complete without a nod to "Robot Wars," guitar-playing myths, and the undeniable versatility of footballer Dennis Irwin. Stay tuned for exciting new episodes, as we continue to explore the fascinating intersections of culture, sport, and personal stories with a humorous twist.
Hello and welcome to the podcast Living With Madeley. This is a podcast where we look back at retro TV in the main episodes. But this isn't a main episode. This is a midweek Maitley where myself and Andrew good evening, sir. Hello. We look at comments. We have a bit of general chat. Yeah, it's nothing formal, is it?
Speaker 1:informal. Is it nice? It's an informal, informal day, uh, I think. Uh, yeah, go for a few comments, a little bit of chat, uh, straight off, because we recorded ages ago with that robot wars episode.
Speaker 2:I've got another cold since then, so that was about two weeks ago and got ill again. Yeah yeah, apologies, by the way, because obviously you've had some stuff going on at home. Your mum's been in and out of hospital. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I went on holiday, took the laptop to do these so different but your mum nearly died and uh, obviously, oh, I had to go on holiday.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm on the mums.
Speaker 2:Uh, yeah, so yeah, I did take my laptop, I just didn't do it. So apologies to you and the listener for me, you. You don't need to make any apologies, no not this time.
Speaker 1:Um, I'm currently drinking a coffee out of a Ronaldo cup. I told you the story about this, didn't I? So I went to Portugal and I thought I'll buy my dad like it. It's a comedy, ronaldo cup. It's his big beaming face just smiling. You've seen it, haven't you, liam?
Speaker 2:Yeah, but is it a comedy one?
Speaker 1:It's not really. No, it's just him looking right. Yeah, so I gave it my dad, he opened it and he just went.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't want it, simple as that. You brought it back from portugal for him as well, didn't you? Yeah?
Speaker 1:yeah, all the way back from portugal. He says, yeah, I'll not use it. I was all right, so I've got it. So I'm drinking out of the ronaldo seven cup scored yesterday, didn't I yesterday, a couple of days ago?
Speaker 2:it scores most days don'ticycle kick. Would he drink out of a Messi cup? Is it Ronaldo specific?
Speaker 1:I don't know. I've got a feeling he'll prefer Messi. He finds Ronaldo a bit of a comedy character, I think. I think he's sort of like when he was crying at Euros. I was watching that game with him and he was like going look at him, look at him your dad were crying? No, my dad weren't crying about that, I know. Did you see the news about San Marino, by the way?
Speaker 1:the news about San Marino they've been promoted from the Nations League D into Nations League C, so they're no longer the worst team in the world well, does that?
Speaker 2:who's gone down then? What league were we in, were we?
Speaker 1:in B. We've just been promoted. Who's gone down then? What league were we in? Were we in B? We were in B, we were in B. We've just been promoted into A with all the big boys but D, I think Andorra's the worst team in Europe now Faroe Islands, Lichtenstein they're always sort of talked about, I think they got relegated. Yeah, faroe Islands, so they'll be in D now, but they played against Gibraltar. It's really boring. I don't know why I've started with this to be honest.
Speaker 1:But yeah, that's what we do on Free and Easy. No, I'm interested. So San Marino are the next tier. Yeah, seven points out of four games. So they're not going to qualify. The thing is, in the Euros, whoever won that Group D because they all went to like a semi-final they got an automatic placement at Euros. So San Marino could have technically been at Euros if we had won this year that's a shame well shout out to the San Marino boys, if any of them are listening.
Speaker 1:I've always wanted to go to one of their games. Actually, I don't know. I don't know why it's supposed to be a really nice place isn think of the track on Ayrton Senna Racing, was it?
Speaker 2:Or whatever it was.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I'm going to wait really soon, so I might pop over to San Marino and see what the fuss is about. Anyway, what I want to talk about first is Tanton Armand, because we've been discussing this for quite a bit after, haven't we actually?
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, yeah, but we haven't found anything new out. I don't think no, there's nothing new.
Speaker 1:But I'm still more. Well, we have, because Ben sent us that bloke was just having a casual chat, didn't he? So if anyone didn't listen to the Robot Wars episode, if you look at the Eric Cantona kung fu kick what he did against Crystal Palace in 95, 94, whatever it were look into the crowd and there's a guy in a leather jacket just stood so straight and such a serious face, but not like shocked, just like as if he's like made that happen, a bit like imagine it being like quantum leap and he's got into that body and he's had to get canton all to do that and somehow he's done it, but he's like looking over his work well, it's funny as well because, like there's multiple sort of shots, I can't see one of them with any reaction other than just ice cold.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's people like furious. There's people like shouting. There's people worried like shock face. Ben found someone just having a casual chat. I think he's like doing a shrug next to the guy next to him. He's obviously talking about the internet. This guy seems to be completely on his own. What's funny with him is, on certain angles, the guy almost is right in front of him being kung fu kicked towards him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's just staring straight ahead I wonder if something I don't know he he knew this were going to happen and I don't know how. And that's what I'm asking our listeners how?
Speaker 2:did he know? There's another angle where I can't I can't actually see him. Is that? Has he gotten in the moment? He's not there anymore.
Speaker 1:On this next one yeah, there's one where you can't see him at all. He vanishes. I mean some people might say that's just the picture. I'm not so sure.
Speaker 2:I think it's 50, 50 I think I think he might have vanished.
Speaker 1:I think he might have vanished, um. So if anyone's got any uh ideas about this guy, whoever he is, no one's ever mentioned him before. I've done a little bit of research. Well, I've typed him into Google.
Speaker 2:There's another shot there in the aftermath. So somebody I don't know if it's Brian Kidd or somebody's got like an Umbro coat on trying to pull him back and he's there again with a calm expression.
Speaker 1:Same expression.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, exactly the same Hands in front of him staring straight ahead. I love people who are open-mouthed. There's somebody flipping the bird, as Chad has just been shouting about yeah, double birds for your head. But yeah, there's a few people who sort of look like, oh God, I can't believe it.
Speaker 1:He is so calm about a situation Like we said he knew, he knew, he knew what was going to happen. Who is he? Do you know him? So what's that off, he's off crime watch. Anyway, he used to say do you know this man? Do you know this man? Let's go and find him. Remember that cocky one? They got him, so they had a. Not nick. Were you nick frost? No, no, who were it? Not nick frost? What's the guy called used to present crime watch, the? Um, serious, lucky man. They did it with dando, didn't it? It was nick, something, nick robinson, no, nick robin. No, that's the. Oh, what's he? I?
Speaker 2:was thinking of Nick Knowles, but it's not him.
Speaker 1:No. Oh, come on, Come on come on, come on, come on, come on.
Speaker 2:Nick Ross.
Speaker 1:Nick Ross, that's it. Yeah, so he was the serious-looking man who'd say Is he one? Of the yeah, you can buy it on DVD.
Speaker 2:You can buy the first Ridiculous yeah, you know what I said Is Nick Ross, one of the Jonathan Ross brothers.
Speaker 1:No, he's not one of the Jonathan Ross brothers. You sure.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty sure I think I'd know. I don't think he's one of them, no, probably not, but yeah. So this guy was really serious, weren't he Like? And this woman here, she needs your help to you. Then they got this other guy in and I think he's on. I don't know what he does now, but I've seen him on a couple of things he does like scab inspectors or something, and he was so cocky and brilliant because he used to say who's this guy? Come on, let's get him. We're going to find him. Just let us know who he is, he was Rav Wilding.
Speaker 1:Rav Wilding.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's his wilding he was we're gonna get his geezer and we're gonna bring him in we're gonna bring him in.
Speaker 1:We know he's, we're not gonna get him. We know where he lives, we know who he is, we know what it looks like. Tell us who he is and we're gonna bring him in. They used to do like fingers, didn't they? I mean, we're obviously never gonna do crime wars, because it's it's real people, really traumatic experiences obviously.
Speaker 2:But it did. You know lots of humor in there, isn't it?
Speaker 1:now. No, did you used to shit me up though Bad acting, to be fair, that could be quite funny. Oh my God, he's got a gun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because they used to have someone reenacting it, sort of tracing the steps, didn't they?
Speaker 1:And then there was always like a blackout picture of the woman or the man or whatever being assaulted or whatever and he details.
Speaker 2:I remember that day, because what it was? I think I'd thrown some old cheese paper wrappers away. There was some crappy reason why. By the way, I don't know what a cheese paper wrapper is, a cheese paper wrapper.
Speaker 1:I got a selection of cheeses yesterday from Sainsbury's, like a bag full of just different cheeses.
Speaker 2:Some people think you're not a success. Exactly.
Speaker 1:Anyway, let's fucking bang on with this Comment time. Adam, adam Follett. We were talking obviously last week about someone's given us a one-star review. We should get that on Crimewash actually.
Speaker 2:We know you are.
Speaker 1:We know you are.
Speaker 2:We're coming for you.
Speaker 1:We're coming for you. I'll get that serious. I remember when I looked at Apple Music. It was a good phone. I'd open my phone to watch.
Speaker 2:Mark Goldbridge but I just happened to click on Apple and he was there and he was a one star review.
Speaker 1:Do you know this guy, adam, says it's ok guys. He gave us 4 grey stars out of 5. Obviously, that's what colour it would be if it were at once a little colour joke. You're colour blind, aren't you? I think you're all right with Greg, are you? I'm all right with Greg. Yeah, what is it?
Speaker 2:Green and um, well, it's like that dichrome here, so it's sort of red-greens, but it's more than that. It's like a lot of dark colours look very similar. Purples and greys are a bit similar, so I might not have got the grey joke. I didn't get the grey joke, if I'm honest.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because obviously you put a wad on and I think it's blue, so the other ones are before greys.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I completely messed up that because I thought it said gray star as in. Like I thought oh yeah, it's he-man joke, that were gray skull weren't it?
Speaker 1:no, gray skull, it's such a shit joke from adam that I probably wouldn't even read that out. To be honest, that reason just for him just for his materials.
Speaker 2:That good, I'm finding lifestyle even yeah he's got his double meanings.
Speaker 1:uh, tyrone says he can confirm it was not him who left a one-star review, but is that someone who left a one-star?
Speaker 2:review If I were to leave a one-star review.
Speaker 1:First thing I'd be saying is I didn't leave the one-star review. Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's more likely to be Tyrone than anybody else at the moment At the moment Tyrone's gone to.
Speaker 1:Well, we've got another candidate. Carl said love you, roy, but you're not getting that fifth star until you buy a decent microphone, and that has genuinely prompted me to buy this, what I'm using now, which I forgot to plug in before we started, so we had to start again. Let us know about this. It's a Tonner, it only cost 25 quid, but I think it does the job. I think it's been good. My other one I've been using an old laptop because my other one broke and it has been a bit tinny, so apologies for that. Are you on it now?
Speaker 2:then Fuck off. No, I'm not joking. I thought you were going to do a big moment where you plugged it in.
Speaker 1:I thought that's why you restarted.
Speaker 2:No, no, wow, what a difference.
Speaker 1:I don't want to unplug it and plug it back in again now, because how long did it?
Speaker 2:take me, we're not restarting again. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, obviously I've got dyspraxia.
Speaker 2:Have you plugged it in? The right thing Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 1:No, genuinely, this is not a joke. You've plugged a, though before I said I need to put my microphone in. How long were you waiting? Think how easy of a job that is for a normal person yeah, it was good 45 seconds.
Speaker 2:It went on so long actually that I said should we leave that in, because I was laughing at it yeah but it went on that long that it did.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just couldn't get it in. Couldn't get it in, um, anyway, but yeah, so hopefully carl's bumped us up to a five. Now I've got a new microphone, ryan, this is the other one who you think you had doubts about. You thought this guy might be a one star reviewer because he's put some respect on my name. One star with a Sopranos gif I think he's talking about that. I forgot, it was Ryan who asked us to do a Sopranos episode last week, and that's why he's saying put respect on his name, you think this might be.
Speaker 1:It might be Ryan revealing himself to be the one star contributor yeah, again, I've missed.
Speaker 2:I've missed the context, so I think you're spot on. I just thought he was saying yeah, like owning it. So saying yeah, I give you one star. So what?
Speaker 1:this is me, this is yeah but ryan's gonna be happy because we are doing sopranos next year. I never told you this, I don't. We are doing it. Yeah, I know you've said we should do it.
Speaker 1:Well, I've just got an idea, actually, so if people like this idea, we'll go with this. She's put sopranos episode. Instead of covering the entire show, why not pick a theme to focus on, such as top five most shocking moments, or top five paulie walnut moments, or something like that, or put out a vote for the best episode and maybe discuss the top one or two in detail? So we could do something like that. I'm definitely up for the top five moments or something like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah, I mean to be fair. Yeah, paulie Walnuts definitely stands out. Chrissie's got some good moments. Yeah, we might do a little bit of a mixture of certain characters' best moments and favourite memories.
Speaker 1:Now we've got to get more free and easy and less research.
Speaker 1:I'm I'm more willing to do it, I think I've been watching loads of it recently as well, so it should be all right. Uh, jane stacy, jane, jane stacy. Um, thanks for buying us a coffee. By the way, jane, on my view from think, really appreciate that. Uh, good to know. She said I'm good, good, and I'm not the only one who gets confused. Falling asleep listening to podcasts, I start dreaming I'm in them, and then I get really angry when I try and join in the conversation and everyone ignores me. I love that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I do that a lot, though I quite often fall asleep at the XFM Carl Pilkington and Ricky V, steve Merchant and I sometimes have dreams where, like, people are talking using their words and I'm thinking I know this from a podcast Like how is this happening? But yeah really weird.
Speaker 1:What did I fall asleep to? Yes, I always thought there's a one of my most listened to podcasts last year. It's called the stock soccer nostalgia podcast and some of my episodes are really genuinely interesting, but some of them are so far back that I don't really mean anything to me, like late 60s, early 70s, and I'll put them on to fall asleep because it's not interesting enough to keep me awake. So I'll listen to, like aberdeen's, your way for cup run of the early 80s because, obviously I don't really give a shit about it and I'll drift off to it.
Speaker 1:It's quite good, that's it's boring, isn't it?
Speaker 2:retro stuff retro stuff.
Speaker 1:It's fucking rubbish. It's just easy.
Speaker 2:You'll say anyone younger than us like should not be listening to this content unless they want to fall asleep. What's?
Speaker 1:uh, sopranos is a line. What tony soprrano says the worst, what is it? Something like the worst sentences in the world starts with who remembers? Or do you remember this, or whatever. Tony Soprano says that. Yeah, it's a Sopranos line, yeah, who remembers, who remembers? I'll say it like that like Peter Kay, Like someone says something like hey, remember that tone, and he goes like the worst sentence is do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2:I am. I'm seeing myself as a bit of a Sopranos super fan, unless I've dreamt of it, but I don't think of right, just bear with me, keep talking to yourself, and I'll yeah, so what I've been doing. By the way, you can watch shorts on YouTube of Sopranos, and I've just ended up on an endless loop of them. It's not time well spent, to be honest, but there's lots of good moments on there. So, if you like it you don't want to watch full episodes go back and watch some clips of things going on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're fucking skifoos though yeah, I can't find it. I might have dreamt it. I'm sure that he did say it, though I'm sure I've read.
Speaker 2:That's the worst kind of fucking story, when somebody says who remembers?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's something like that and funnily enough, I've not remembered it. But anyway, nick says fucking hell, lad. Spoiler alert on the dyspraxia news because obviously on the I think it was the midweek, it might have been one of them I mentioned about my dyspraxia, which I don't like to talk about as I've mentioned many a time.
Speaker 2:Berlin Blade says for clarity he wasn't exaggerating about the seven drinks he had before work. I am an alcoholic.
Speaker 1:Keep up the great work, guys. Cheers Bill and Blake. The funniest thing about it is he spelt exaggerating massively wrong as well, as if he were pissed at the time. He's like he's got a H in there.
Speaker 2:It's quite tragic, if true, which it may well be, that we're just chuckling along about it.
Speaker 1:Everyone, since COVID, I think everyone is an alcoholic.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, definitely we spoke about this before.
Speaker 1:I definitely drink more now than I did in my 20s. It's ridiculous, stupid.
Speaker 2:We never used to drink it at home. I got hammered at Lightning.
Speaker 1:Seeds. Imagine Lightning Seeds. It's such a like soft sort of oh lucky you Got hammered and ended. Lucky you, god, I haven't ended up on West Street Live having baby Guinnesses.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it's all about COVID.
Speaker 1:All about COVID. Matt said great episode of this, one about the blood on the. I still can't get this right. Blood on the carpet Blood on the carpet episode, he said, proof that smashy and nice is one of the most successful bits of satire ever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because that's the retro DJs that we looked at, weren't they? And how ridiculous some of them actually were. Right, Pop Pickett.
Speaker 1:Who's the guy? He is Paul Whitehouse, isn't he? But I think he looks really unlike Paul Whitehouse. Is he nicer?
Speaker 2:Yes, I think so. Yeah, Because he's always on about charity.
Speaker 1:He's always like it's a charity. He's always on about charity. He's always like it's a charity. It's brilliant.
Speaker 2:That sounded a bit like Cliff Richard, though.
Speaker 1:I think that's sort of one of the voices he's gone for. I might read Cliff Richard's like I can't do it now. I really need your help. I really need your help. Sad Ken said status quo or his first ever gig. Treat them with some respect, because we both said they were a bag of shit, didn't we?
Speaker 2:yeah, sorry, sad ken, I can't get into him. I've never liked him. We weren't there in the moment and I just don't get him now.
Speaker 1:So no, I think, like the fact that when I first knew him, knew of him he were a bald man with a ponytail and straight away I even I was thinking it's not a good start, that you know. But you know, weren't they denim boys, weren't they double denim men as well?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just think of them like sort of doing that silly little dance in a club.
Speaker 1:Yeah, doing the little.
Speaker 2:I like it. I like it I like it a lot.
Speaker 1:You know I had sung it, didn't I? To Heckey and Stuart McCall.
Speaker 2:What do you think is our equivalent? I mean, Lightning Seeds is probably not a bad shout. It's something that was quite good when we were growing up.
Speaker 1:I don't know Lightning Seeds aren't, as I don't think they're as comedy-y as that Kaiser Cheese where people are like I predict a riot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I wanted to mention actually I meant to do it when we were at Chapman, st Leonard's as a song, but there's a fantastic line, I think it is in that I predict a riot, but we're talking about kids, not listening to anyone. Which is what do you want for tea? We want crisps yeah, I've heard.
Speaker 1:Yeah brilliant that it's called everything is average nowadays that song it's like what did you learn at school?
Speaker 2:we learned nothing, but I love that crisps line.
Speaker 1:I love it. There's a good lyric. He goes everything is average nowadays, everything is going down the pan. Brilliant. One of their best songs.
Speaker 2:I was him, didn't I? Do you remember that?
Speaker 1:Oh, you used to look fucking so much like him. There were ones we saw him at a festival and, like Brendan, our mate just could not believe how much he looked like you on stage. Because, honestly, that is Liam, that is Liam definitely.
Speaker 2:It was. Is liam that?
Speaker 1:is liam, definitely, it was obviously in him.
Speaker 2:Yeah honestly, we once went on triple lane, didn't we? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's some girls there that thought I actually was is it yeah, ricky wilson yeah but not like they were like starstruck, weren't they? No, yeah, they did think you were you honestly for?
Speaker 1:only for about a year but you looked exactly like him, like you both looked at, like each other exactly at the same time. You don't look alike at all now, to be fair, I think I've got fatter and he's got thinner and I ain't really seen him much. I'll say that so I'm live. Last year tram lines I saw him today actually, yeah, two years ago actually, but we're pissing it down, so I can't really give him a a proper review, but they did so. They're a bit like madness, weren't they?
Speaker 2:uh, no, I think. Well, you like madness, you agree? I think they're better than madness. I think they were a good pop group. I think madness are a bit of a novelty act, fair play nav says uh, there is a blood on the carpet.
Speaker 1:Documentary about the dart splits in 1994 called poison arrows, great discussion material. So we might actually do.
Speaker 2:We might actually do that and actually, yeah, do you know what? I think we missed as well now sent, sent us Happy Diwali, didn't?
Speaker 1:he yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So yeah, the same to everybody listening, including you, Nav.
Speaker 1:Including Nav. Yeah, just on the episode we're going to get to as well. Robot Wars he said he preferred the Robot Wars Jonathan Pearce commentary to his football commentary. I mean, you'd not heard the clips as they were recorded, have you? What do you think?
Speaker 2:Some of them are crazy, aren't they? Yeah, you'd given me a list of clips to drop in and I was just sort of trying to find half-decent moments to do it, but some of them, when I put them in there, yeah, were really making me laugh. I don't remember him being quite so sort of out for comic effect. I thought he just got overexcited, didn't realize he had quite so many sort of silly lines in there.
Speaker 1:I didn't remember that there's a brilliant one where he goes uh, when it's angry it releases gasoline. So what? So does my mom. There's another one as well. I love like it's made of plastic. It's made of plastic, it's absolutely brilliant. Um, yeah, real. Bobby b said he thinks we've misread the room. We don't. He doesn't want us to change the drunk karaoke. It's what the people demand. He says he's considering a road trip to see the phenomenon live. He thinks the caravan site will sell out quicker than Oasis.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I might leave the guitar at home next time. Just get the old karaoke out. Yeah, I don't know, Might have to do some.
Speaker 2:So he's saying it's bad, but they like it to be bad.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're saying it's bad, but but they like it to be bad. Yeah, yeah, it's a bit like who's but who's a bad band? Who's that that bad? It's good like dev's acting off coronation street. No, you can't put us up there without. That is brilliant. We might get onto that in the next series, but unbelievable. If I love dev as a character, but he's acting I always say to you she's lying. Basically this this woman we're trying to literally ruin his life says you beat her up and stuff. Such bad he's trying to be like really like, sort of I don't know like, so really like.
Speaker 1:Concerning emotional, yeah, and he goes oh, she's lying, so shit. And that other one. But he said like she does this every time, so shit. Uh, he also says real over me. This is not dev. There's dyspraxia and autism man. The new marvel movie andrew won't have seen it anyway. I think that there could be something in that. I think that obviously, autism man with the brains and dyspraxia man with the uh, the, the attitude, the action scenes, the brains and the action.
Speaker 2:What would that thing look? A bit like, oh, superheroes who were like really bad. Well, you won't have seen it, will you? I think Mystery Men, was it.
Speaker 1:What was that called, not the Incredibles?
Speaker 2:No, I mean, there's ones like that. There was a character in the Mystery Men, ragged Dolls. Well, that's probably more fitting for us.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they were just made him perfectly, but one of them was just french. I love that. That was.
Speaker 2:That was misfit, yeah but it didn't translate, did it? It didn't translate. You can only speak french called claude. Yeah, that's right. I've watched it recently. But yeah, the mystery man character can be invisible, but only if no one can see him. I thought that was brilliant, that our mate ross, did he?
Speaker 1:we asked him what superpower he'd won. What did he say? He said invisibility, didn't he? Yeah, but I think he had sort of seedy reasons behind it. Seedy reasons. Another one he wanted to turn into a dog so he could nick the post. Because for some reason in his head he thought. He mixed up post and money didn't he? Yeah, I goes. Why would you want to nick post post? Because then I've got everyone's money. I guess who posts money?
Speaker 2:he's. Oh shit, I've got loads of posts.
Speaker 1:I'm a dick by a dog as well, I know. Yeah, yeah, anyway, um, he probably finishes off by saying he's looking forward to where the robot was episodes not listened yet. Uh, two defining robots for him were chaos 2, which I think you mentioned uh, that were the first one with a flipper and it just launched the others out of the arena and hypno disc, the one that spun so quick it battered the shit out of everything in its path. Yeah, that was a good, I think we mentioned that as well, didn't we?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah, I think yeah, yeah, we did win one or get to the final? I can't remember. It's kind of weird. Rich said his favorite. I'm going to pronounce this D-I-O-T-O-I-R. Sorry say it again. D-i-o-t-o-i-r.
Speaker 2:D'Etoile.
Speaker 1:D'Etoile. Anyway, he says, it's the one that always caught fire.
Speaker 2:That was his favourite. It's got like fur on it, hasn't?
Speaker 1:it, yeah, and he says JP were great in this, especially when he reintroduces Matilda. So he saw it live when he was nine, but he didn't remember much about it because it was nearly 25 years ago, but it was good that.
Speaker 2:Well, I've been intrigued because that was quite dangerous at first, wasn't it? So I wonder whether he saw one of the series before they put all the barriers and stuff in.
Speaker 1:I thought they tried to chop Clarkson's head off?
Speaker 2:Maybe something hit him and that's why he doesn't remember it.
Speaker 1:What's mad is Clarkson nearly died on Robot Wars and not Top Gear.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he was safer on Top Gear.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he was safer on Top Gear than Robot Wars. Imagine that now, no Clarkson, I mean life would be very different, wouldn't it?
Speaker 2:Well, he was protesting with the farmers today, weren't he? So that wouldn't have happened, yeah that wouldn't have happened.
Speaker 1:Chad said good episode. Guys Used to watch it all the time but it's hard to find now time, but it's hard to find now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I'm assuming he's talking the usa version. Battle bots yeah, well, you said that before. Is that what it was? Was it not called robot wars? Yeah, called battle bots um, I think of them little spinning top things, weren't they called battle tops? Battle bots all right, what did? I say no, I think you probably did say that to be fair.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm.
Speaker 2:I can't think what he said. I know what you're going to say. I was going to say BattleBots. I know you say it last, but I couldn't remember which one I was supposed to say. Why did you say the?
Speaker 1:other thing, oh, fucking ruined. Django Mutley, the artist formulating it on his JP said he said we're dead against eating on air, but nothing against drinking on air the unmistakable sounds of tinnies being opened. Did we drink on that Robot Wars episode? We said don't we blame.
Speaker 1:COVID Did we drink on that Robot Wars episode. I don't know if we did. It's probably likely that we did, probably did. Actually, he said he loved the bit where Liam was referring to a film to exemplify his point and then the blinding flash of oh no, you won't have seen it, tim.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you should write down the sort of, whatever it is 10 or 15 films you've seen and I'll have them. So no, not to refer to anything else.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea. The next episode we're doing, steve Irwin and I've been looking at some films that he's been in. Obviously I've never seen any of them. Obviously he's not been in loads, but just as guest stars never seen any of them.
Speaker 2:I don't know that. Yeah, I'd be intrigued to know what films he's been in. He also says Pops up as like the little animal man in the background, like yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, I've seen him, never seen it.
Speaker 1:Jp also said one star claims that the guy who gave us one star, who we think might give us one star, who was saying Richie Edwardswards are the man it's could play guitar because at least he could play barcodes. But I told him that I can't play, uh, barcodes due to the big d and, but I can still clearly play guitar. So he said one star, no credibility. And I get this, I get this labeled. Um, this label took me quite a lot. This where people say oh, you can't be this practicexic and play guitar, you can, that's it. You can play bar chords not really. I. I'm not very good at it, I can't, I can't get the shape right and stuff. It just don't really work.
Speaker 2:I can't do lead either but like I'm, I'm out the loop with them.
Speaker 1:But like in isn't a b minor, a bar chord anyway yeah, but you can sort of cheat and do it in a different way, or I do anyway. Do anyone? That's really really hard to play out the major chords. If you can't bar, it be because that you pretty much need to do some sort of barring with that. So I just tend to avoid any songs with b in it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's funny like I haven't played for ages, but I reckon I could tell you most sort of finger patterns. But I can't think of what b is is. Is it like three in a row and then one behind it, or something like?
Speaker 1:that.
Speaker 1:So, there's two ways of playing it. There's like you have to like sort of hold three strings down with one finger and then you know the other and another, or you can just play it really high up. Either way, it's just, it's a of virtuosos will be, uh, banger, they'll know it. So they won't, they'll find it boring. So, um, yeah, and the final comment we've got is neil. He said he could never get into robot wars, so he had a lot of mates who loved it, but he didn't get it then and he doesn't get it now. But he says nice pod. Anyway, thank you, not for everyone yeah, no, certainly won't be.
Speaker 2:Um, I think the next one should be a bit of a crowd pleaser, but again, I suppose, only if you're old enough to know he is yeah, I mean, I've got my.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm not really research. You're gonna get the clips for this. You're gonna chip in with the the more knowledgeable stuff. I've got an outline of his career, but it's, mr steve irwin, what we should say. By the way, something I again I'm terrible with this. Um. Someone asked me on the s2 forum whether we would be going on blue sky and I responded yes, because our entire audience is full of woke libtards and he didn't respond. So I don't know if hopefully, the humor is not I. Hopefully the humor has not gone over his head, but we probably will be on there, um, in a bit when we get around to it. But this is what it's got to now and his twitter right wing.
Speaker 2:Twitter is left wing, is it? Twitter why can't we all just get on anymore, andrew?
Speaker 1:it's not twitter anyway, it's x in it x marks the spot. Um, yeah, everyone like left it because trump won, and then other people have said it's been shit for years. Um, so everyone's on blue sky. Blue sky, for me, is a really bad name for a fucking platform. X is, though, to be fair yeah, I mean wherever.
Speaker 2:Wherever you are welcome. So are you saying we are going to do Blue Sky then?
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, yeah, I think we should. If everyone's just sheep, aren't we? We may as well join the sheep, aren't we? Because loads of people are quitting X and, like I say, most of our audience are woke idiots, so they're going to be on Blue Sky definitely.
Speaker 2:We don't want to leave the writers behind, though, do we? We're going to play both sides of that.
Speaker 1:Play both yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think we should release two episodes a week. One of them will just be like going tell you what this country needs, farage, and then, like the day after, we'll be saying, why didn't they give Corbyn a chance? That's what I want to know, I'll tell you I'd give Far. They just do.
Speaker 2:They think who are most likely to get most most listen, we'll have to record it where we say I tell you I really like this week and then leave a pause and one it goes. Donald trump, yeah, donald trump.
Speaker 1:Kamala harris, yeah, kamala harris. Uh, joe biden, it was underrated, overrated, like brilliant uh, but yeah, so we should be going on there. But we'll let you know, but the next episode, leroy Jenkins, is it's the best of Steve Irwin.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're not picking a certain episode, we're not picking a certain series, it's just the legend. That is Steve Irwin yeah, steve Irwin.
Speaker 1:Um, I'm looking forward to it. I'm gonna watch some videos of him. If you've got any favorite clips. Eggie's got a few he wants to send me. I told him to pass them on to you, um, so, yeah, definitely send him in.
Speaker 2:I'm a huge fan and I've actually ended up. I was trying to get some short clips to send you but I've ended up watching sort of longer format stuff that he's done, which is not not helpful, but I've enjoyed it and I genuinely did say we've done this before.
Speaker 1:It sounds like a joke, but I did honestly say to you we've got Dennis Irwin next.
Speaker 2:Yeah, thought, should we just leave it and see if you do some research? Yeah, yeah, I think you didn't know who we meant, didn't you?
Speaker 1:yeah, after, because I fucking steve erwin, not dennis erwin, dennis erwin. Imagine doing such a black curveball of an episode. Did you do an hour on dennis erwin? I reckon you could oh yeah, yeah, definitely one of the few places you can play both sides christmas bonus episode maybe.
Speaker 2:Well, you know like our podcast.
Speaker 1:He can play both left and right. He doesn't like sort of. He can play anywhere he'd be on Blue Sky. Annex right enjoyed that. Liam, we'll get this out obviously now I don't know if I've said that and then we'll be back next week for Stephen Irwin.
Speaker 2:Alright, bye, bye if anyone wants to get in touch with us, send us anything. Find us on Twitter at livingwithmade1. Or you can send us an email at livingwithmadely at outlookcom.
