Living With Madeley - The Final Episode
Four years to the day and 150 episodes later, Andreas and Leeroy bid farewell to "Living with Madeley" and introduce their rebranded podcast "Who Remembers" in this nostalgic retrospective.
The hosts take listeners on a heartfelt journey through their podcasting adventure, revealing how what began as casual COVID-era conversations evolved into a beloved audio time capsule of British pop culture. With characteristic humor and candor, they explain their decision to rebrand: "People don't know what it is...they think it's all about Richard Madeley, and to be fair, the intention early on was to keep the Madeley journaling going, which we did do...but we don't really talk about Madeley anymore."
As they reminisce about highlights from eight series, we learn about their most downloaded episodes (bizarrely, "Paul Sykes: Britain's Hardest Prisoner"), listener favorites (TV theme tunes and Christmas content), and those episodes that got them into trouble (like when Daz Samson and an alien abductee both took issue with their commentary). The hosts are refreshingly honest about which formats worked (documentaries) and which didn't (their three-part karaoke special that saw listeners abandoning ship).
The rebranding represents not an ending but an expansion - the freedom to cover everything from 80s/90s toys and sweets to forgotten radio shows without forcing connections to TV. For loyal listeners worried about radical changes, the hosts provide reassurance: "It's going to be more of the same shit...we're focusing mainly on 90s and early 2000s."
With genuine gratitude toward their audience, they conclude by thanking everyone who's spent "six days solid" in their company over four years. If you've ever found yourself saying "who remembers when..." about something from your past, this podcast's evolution will feel like coming home.
Living with Maidly. Living with Maidly. Living with Maidly Maidly. Living with Maidly. Hello and welcome to Living with Maidly. This is the final episode of our nostalgic TV podcast. I'm Andrew. There's some sad music over that.
Speaker 2:I did think about doing this.
Speaker 1:I might do that I probably won't. Yeah, I just thought, hmm, can't be arsed Anyway. I'm Andreas and I'm joined by Leroy and this is very much a free and easy. Just a goodbye to the Living With Madeley franchise. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to think of what farewell is in German, for some reason. What I can think of is guten tag Dankeschank.
Speaker 1:What does that mean? That's thank you, isn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 2:There's a bit of dankeschank, isn't there? We do want to thank people for that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, thank you for everyone who's been listening to the journey.
Speaker 2:This is the the finale of living with madeley, as we're going to move into something else. But this is and it's actually the 151st episode, so don't message us, but we're going to claim this is the 150th. We planned it out, we want to finish on 150, so here we are, the 150th and final episode, the 150th episode of Living With Maidlight, and it's come to an end.
Speaker 1:Liam, have you enjoyed the ride? Some of it, yeah.
Speaker 2:Imagine if you've been, if you've listened to everything we've done. What do you reckon? Average episode, say an hour, do you reckon?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I reckon so yeah 150 divided by 24.
Speaker 2:So you've spent. I thought it was yeah, 150 divided by 24. So you've spent. I thought it was going to be more than that. It doesn't sound that impressive now, but you've spent six days solid in our company. That's not bad, is it.
Speaker 1:That's enough, isn't it?
Speaker 2:That's like you know what I mean, probably yeah, this might be the point where you decide I've enjoyed my six days, I'll take what I've got and leave it there, so you might not want to join us on the news. Don't say that that's a terrible promotion. Awful promotion.
Speaker 1:If anyone didn't listen to the last one, because a lot of people don't listen to the midweeks. This is the final level we've made, but it's not realist. We're just rebranding it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think we said it last time. They've rebadged it, rebadged it. Yeah, we get told a lot. I say a lot, it's not probably not that much, but we do get told from some people like I didn't listen for a while because I didn't really know what it was, or oh yeah, I saw it and I didn't know if it were all about madley and, to be fair, the intention early on was you kind of going to keep your madley journaling going, which we did do, I mean did it for almost do it yeah so yeah, they it didn't do really that bad really.
Speaker 1:But yeah, so we don't really talk about Maidley anymore, so we're moving away from Maidley. He's not on TV that much.
Speaker 2:He doesn't do that much and what he does do at the minute, a lot of people don't really like him for.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so like when he's going to get outed in some sort of you know, I don't know some dodgy things.
Speaker 2:I'm on safe ground with that one. I think I quite like the man. I still think he's a great entertainer. Great entertainer Great man. Great head of hair, but yeah, it's putting people off, people off, I think. So we're just going to go more generic, aren't we?
Speaker 1:and, realistically. Main reason for me, anyway, is that I enjoy the bonus episodes more. Um, so we're just going to be doing generally remember stuff. Um, so if you've got, we're only a couple of people who've uh, sent us some stuff in a lot of it's tv stuff um looking for.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this way it doesn't stop us doing tv, just me. Now we're still doing tv. We can do whatever we want, can't we?
Speaker 1:do what the fuck we? Want what we want we'll do what we want. I'm looking forward to the comedy comedic 9-11 episode that we're trying to. Yeah, I mean, we can remember anything, can't we?
Speaker 2:that's the thing, I remember every anything.
Speaker 1:So what we're going to do here and we've no plan in this. We thought we'd like we then with the how we started, really with no basic research or anything. We're just going to go through some of the, the old episodes, aren't we so like? Let me take you back liam to.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean there's no point mentioning the midweek ones, because they were mainly just reading out comments. But yeah, we're going to skim through the old series. We we've just finished series eight, so there's eight series to go back through. I don't know if we need to talk about every episode, but we're just going to sit out, yeah, so that's february 2000.
Speaker 1:February the 10th 2021 is when we started this podcast. Four years almost, like just over four years to the day, and we obviously started just say four years to the day, we'll call it.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, we'll say it's four years to the day 150,000, four years to the day, to the very day that we started. I think it was this exact minute actually when we recorded.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, Ten past six, as it says on the clock. Now, yeah. Yeah, I was going to say to you, liam, that we started this in COVID just for something to do, didn't we really?
Speaker 2:I think it was kind of coming out of COVID, weren't it? I think we'd done some sort of group, group chats and quizzes, and stuff um. Everyone did quizzes in front of you. Who remembers covid quizzes? Yeah, um, two of our mates fell out.
Speaker 1:One of them's mic weren't working, so he was like giving two finger gestures to the camera yeah, one of them went and then, yeah, someone else was accusing someone else to cheat and he honestly did descend to the point, like, realistically, where we had to stop doing them because people were falling out, weren't they?
Speaker 2:yeah, I've loved all that sort of turmoil and stuff. But yeah, and then obviously me and you speak most days and just babble along about nothing, and oh, did you watch that? Did you remember that? And and yeah, it's kind of sort of said, we might as well just record it. We're just chatting anyway, we're just, we're chewing the fat, aren't we?
Speaker 1:that's so we're gonna call it as we've mentioned a few times. Who remembers old fashioned trousers which I wish we had had now because we wouldn't have had to re-embrace them? I wanted that, if you remember.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know, yeah, but then we did think you wanted something like clever yeah, but did come on, when I come out with this. You were like no, yeah, it was a good idea. Yeah, liv and Maidly, you had some success. For anyone who's not gone back and listened to that very first episode, you got so many million views.
Speaker 1:Four million, More than four million, over four million views, which is something I will have and watch the story more in glory for cultural impact. That article that I did got.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it was sort of famous, mainly quotes.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:He actually responded, didn't he saying mostly bullshit, I think.
Speaker 1:Most of them are bullshit. We are going to start a website for this as well. Ben's mentioned this today to me and I've noticed it myself before. If we're doing a WhoRemembers website or WhoRemembers, not merch what do you call it like social media stuff then it's going to be WhoreRemembers, because if you put WhoRemembers together, it also spells out Whore Remembers. Because if you put who Remembers together, it also spells out Whore Remembers. And we're debating whether to just lean into that aren't we.
Speaker 2:You can't have the re twice. What do you mean? It's not Whore.
Speaker 1:Remembers, it's Whore Members. Oh sorry, whore Members, not Whore Remembers, whore Remembers, whore Remembers. So we don't know whether to lean into that. Let us know your feedback.
Speaker 2:I don't know why you brought that up because that should have been something that sort of. A bit further down the line, we sort of I don't know, I don't want people to think we've messed up.
Speaker 1:It's a, you know. I want them to know that it's a bit of a nod and a wink. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, you know, headlight. It's quite interesting going through. I've not listened to him back or anything like that, but I'm just going through the old episodes. The first episode was where we used the David Brent sound-alike man. You know doing that twice. Yeah, and you'll be banned from driving. If you don't know what I'm on about, just type in Sky News David Brent, I may not be the owner of the vehicle. We still say that.
Speaker 2:I mean, even if you don't want to go back and listen to an old episode of this from four years ago. Go and find a clip if you haven't seen it. Is it man who Sounds Like David?
Speaker 1:Brent, yeah, man who Sounds Like David Brent on Sky News, and he's talking about his fine Doing that twice. I always thought, by the way episode one.
Speaker 2:We probably should have come back and done it again, because that's the one that it's not actually the highest viewed anymore, is it? Paul sykes is um.
Speaker 2:He's downloaded and he's down paul sykes and richard hillman weirdly yeah, yeah, and the way the stats work, you have to listen to at least a minute or something like that, and we know that our engagement is pretty good if people who listen to a minute tend to listen to most of it. So, yeah, the numbers for that one are very high, but actually really unpolished. Like the first attempt, we did record some. What did we do first? This could be so long, so I've got to try and be a bit briefer than this, but we recorded something before that one, didn't we? And then we thought actually that that should be the first episode should be richard.
Speaker 1:May we recorded?
Speaker 2:yeah, the first one we recorded was children's educational shows, but we thought we were a bit too dark.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're a bit dark. I love that, though we might. I might actually come back to school days and educational programs, like we did at school, and who remembers to be fair? Um, anyway, the second one. I'll just skip through these and if there's anything you want to shout me out, one actually is still one of my favorites childhood adverts, where bill what the big thing from that for me is? Uh, that's the first time we came out with the. Yeah, the cinnamon challenge. Uh, my porky parry.
Speaker 2:yeah, the first porky parry mention was episode two, all the way back, yeah, yeah, and uh, what was that one? I'm not, oh, quite there. Oh, yeah, sorry, that was the 10th of February 2021. Oh, we released two in one go, didn't we? Oh, we did a double release, didn't we Double?
Speaker 1:double. We might do that with Remembers.
Speaker 2:actually, who knows, we might do that with Remembers, das Samson obviously the next one which were actually speaking to that Samson, because he found the episode and didn't like what we said.
Speaker 1:Having a chat with does yeah, yeah, that's something going to touch him was not happy with our third episode and I thought, well, fucking hell, it was next we were upset. Next, we did upset a few people on the way, actually most of that, samson and what's his name with big area on that Samson? What was? Was his book? Dj Colin? Yeah, he's messaged us since, hasn't he? Yeah, DJ Colin. Yeah, he were alright to me.
Speaker 2:I think he follows us now. Actually, To be fair, Das were alright in the end, so, yeah, really good. It's probably not selling our podcast very well, but I would say, instead of listening to that one, if that's sort of pricking your interest, go say, instead of listening to that one, if that's sort of pricking your interest, go and watch the Daz Simpson documentary about.
Speaker 1:Eurovision Really good. I've decided to do this in a different way now, liam. What I'm going to do is I'm going to mention every episode and you don't have to dwell on it. Just something that springs to mind. Episode 4 was Big Brother, series 1.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so my favourite bit looking back on that is obviously going to be Tom. You showed me names.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's it. You showed me names. Episode 5, Sports Commentary. I think this is obvious.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, I can't speak, Obviously I thought Murray Walker died. Yeah, it's gone, but I thought Murray Walker died and he hadn't. And then somebody as they were listening to me say that I thought Murray Walker was dead Found out that he died in that moment. That was a yeah, this is where the curse began, actually wasn't?
Speaker 1:it. We started two series. Yeah, we had everything we were mentioning people who were dying yeah, every time I mentioned someone everyone, obviously I've been mad, but like every episode, we mentioned somebody who seemed to die a couple of weeks after, but that seemed to just calm down. To be fair, I think, um, yeah, that that settled itself down a little bit, didn't it?
Speaker 2:and yeah, you're right. Actually, probably, probably my favourite clip on it is it's a goal, it's a goal it's goal, it's goal, it's goal.
Speaker 1:This is a good thing about doing this realistically is that I have come across like unbelievable clips that I don't think I've ever. I'll never come across them. And next one is a good one, actually episode six for richard oldman, which is one of our most, uh, downloaded ones.
Speaker 2:Actually, richard oldman, yeah, and you're one of these research and, yeah, the one of dies you and me always the number of times that plays in the sort of the last 15 minutes. The episode was a brilliant. I was laughing as I was sort of writing it down how many times it kept coming in on that same bit as well.
Speaker 1:Uh a good one, not yeah. Yeah, uh, episode seven, as we said, children's educational shows.
Speaker 2:That were going to be the first episode, but too dark yeah, more your thing than mine now, but I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy it, but that's I really enjoyed that one, yeah yeah, you like all that stuff.
Speaker 1:I like all the creepish here. Episode 8 was Get Rid of it. That's where we picked out things that we didn't like. Is this where you were revealed that you didn't like the Last of the Summer Wine man?
Speaker 2:Yeah, howard from Last of the Summer Wine, I wanted to get rid of him, yeah.
Speaker 1:I didn't get backlash, but I don't like him. He was one of the best characters.
Speaker 2:Yeah, get rid of him.
Speaker 1:Episode 9, the Importance of being Morrissey. Obviously, a documentary about Morrissey, yeah, that always speaks for itself. Episode 10 was Scary TV Memories. One of yours, I think, was a doll Postman, pat doll.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I had like a knitted Postman Pat thing that used to freak If I bent his head back in a certain way it looked really creepy. But I couldn't stop doing it to freak myself out.
Speaker 1:But you know I didn't like it being in my brilliant podcast called scarred for life, where every week they get a celebrity and they just talk about what scared him as kid three things that scared him as kids and we basically just nick that. But I, to be fair, we've not heard that podcast before. We did that. But I think I was yeah I think I had world in action theme tune.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh number 11 was underrated tv comedies, where I think we spoke about uh, I think you got shane, probably sort of thing.
Speaker 2:I'd like to do more of a thing. Yeah, I enjoyed that because we were talking about things we like that weren't necessarily hits, so so, yeah, really good.
Speaker 1:One Like our podcast, episode 12, the final episode of the first series was. I swear I can't help it with what's his face, john Davidson wasn't it John Davidson yeah, john Davidson. Yeah, and that was about the guy who's got Tourette's Unbelievable documentary. That because it is funny and it is touching as well.
Speaker 2:I think it's really good that's the first time where we sort of challenge ourselves to do something that wouldn't be easy, I think, because we kind of thought can we really laugh at this? Is it all right?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it turns out we can laugh at it yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it turns out. Yeah, he's laughing, so we can laugh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, If he doesn't mind us laughing at him, what harm has been done? Series 2, we kicked off with Top of the Pops One it Wonders, I don't. I will have gone for Drinking in LA, but I can't remember anything else, I think you did Mike Flowers, didn't you?
Speaker 2:I don't know if I did. Actually You've mentioned it on something.
Speaker 1:Seems like that would have been the one Series 2, Episode 2, a big hitter of ours again was Mike Porcupari on the views. Yeah obviously on the link. It gives you a bit brief description and stuff on the link that you post. You used to post links onto it. It was when Parry tried to smoke a full packet of cigarettes come on girls have a look at that brilliant episode. Three was Oasis right here right now, which is that followed Oasis doing the Be here Now album.
Speaker 2:It was a good documentary.
Speaker 1:Actually, yeah, could album. It's a good documentary. Actually, yeah, could go back to it. Do you know when Oasis start the tour on who Remembers? We might do a who Remembers Oasis.
Speaker 2:Yeah, or an Oasis V blur or a big pop-up. We'll probably do something around that. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Episode four one of my sorry threads.
Speaker 2:The nuclear war Threads. Give it six months and there could be a documentary about nuclear war, couldn't there?
Speaker 1:Since I did this.
Speaker 2:I've been into it even more, Straight into politics.
Speaker 1:Who remembers politics? Series 5 is something. Fc L Farsher says something that we didn't really do that much after. It's one day in 92. So we went through a TV schedule in 1992.
Speaker 2:We did a Christmas thing later, didn't we? But yeah, we didn't do that very much.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if I remember right, it's because it was the lowest viewed, lowest listened to. Yeah people weren't bothered. Idiotic fan base yeah idiotic fan base got confused and they said what's that One day in 92? What?
Speaker 2:are they on about who's Maylin about? I don't like him and I don't like 1992.
Speaker 1:Yeah well, interesting. Episode 6 was Football Italia. We were talking about James Richardson. Jimbo Enjoyed that one. Number 7 was how Did it End, which was another thing that we didn't really do much of? Yeah, goodnight, sweetheart. How did it end? I forgot.
Speaker 2:It ended. They redid some bits, Didn't they? He met himself as a baby or something, and they sort of tried to Make it so that it could kind of come again.
Speaker 1:They almost tried to reinvent it.
Speaker 2:But yeah, oh yeah, because he came back and did Adele, didn't he?
Speaker 1:Hello from the Other side, because he ended up backing Warthing, didn't he?
Speaker 2:Yeah, he was stealing more Modern songs back in the day as well as Hello from the other side, because he ended up backing Warthing, didn't he?
Speaker 1:Yeah, he was stealing more modern songs back in the day as well as being a bigamist yeah, he was a bigamist. Series 2, I keep saying Series 8. Series 2, Episode 8 was our biggest episode, and we're not sure why. Paul Sykes, britain's Hardest Prisoner, no idea, but this is far and ahead away. If you look at our numbers, it's got millions of listens, yeah, I mean when?
Speaker 2:well, yeah, not millions, but thousands yeah, certainly people have listened, yeah, but yeah, it's a weird one, isn't it? Because it was good to do, but I don't know why, it's our most popular episode, but yeah, yeah, that is by far our most popular episode. But yeah, yeah, that is by far our most popular episode.
Speaker 1:Yeah, episode nine was channel five launch night. I don't really remember. Do you know?
Speaker 2:what's weird, as I'm looking on Apple podcast, episode nine doesn't have a cover image, so I wonder if I forgot to do it or not. What?
Speaker 1:for channel five Channel five launch night. Yeah, that probably sums up Channel 5 launch. I think it went alright, didn't it? It was difficult, that one, if you remember, because there weren't that much footage going around. So episode 10 was public information films. Jp asked us to do this I think it was JP and then we tried to do another one. Well, I was going to do another one, but I never got round to it. But again, that's something I might look into.
Speaker 1:Not necessarily dark dark shit, but not necessarily public information films, and I might look into Not necessarily it's another one of your sorts of things, isn't it? Dark, dark shit, but not necessarily public information films. But on who Remembers, we can look at like warning leaflets and stuff and you know what I mean. All that sort of that's my bag, that Well.
Speaker 2:I would say yeah, we can remember anything we want to remember, can't we?
Speaker 1:Episode 11 were one I really enjoyed, and that was Blanche Hun. Yeah, Coronation Street comedy icon. Do you remember when she accused Ken of being gay?
Speaker 2:I can't remember the exact clip, yeah, but it's something really ridiculous, like he's writing poetry or something and she decides he's gay. I can't quite remember what it is, so good.
Speaker 1:Episode 12,. We finished with Top of the Pops 1996, which we released on the 30th of December 2021. We then got into our bonus episodes. We did the early internet with Ben from Bladepod first time. I think he did another one after that and then we did the early internet and then we did retro.
Speaker 2:That's when I first realised. Actually we're kind of missing the trick here because that early internet and the retro computer games episode. Yeah, yeah, two that I really enjoyed and they didn't fit the theme that we'd agreed to go by, so Should have just quit, then that's where the we should have seen the iceberg, then shouldn't we?
Speaker 1:Should have seen the iceberg and quit it. Then Series 3 kicked off with TV theme tunes, and this is another one that I really enjoyed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that might be my favorite episode, that one yeah, maybe, yeah, yeah, I'd really well.
Speaker 1:Funnily enough, the next one's probably the worst episode we did, which were grange hill. We did not do this justice at all.
Speaker 2:No we just got it wrong. We there's a, there's a few like that and grange hill yeah, I have to. I have to say, kind of overthought it. We struggle with things that were spanned over like decades as to how we could do that in an episode and we sort of got it wrong, didn't we? We did the first and the last episode that were not none of the same characters, not even the same building, not even the same school was it.
Speaker 1:No, not even in the same city, london and Liverpool. Yeah, episode three, bullseye. This is where I discovered the fucking Bobby Davro falling through the stocks. Oh, he lives oh yeah oh, bobby, so good. Libby does some amazing videos like that where he's just watching that like back and he says look at that, look at fucking Lionel Blair, look at him, what's he doing? It's so good. Episode 4, the Freddie Mercury story, which I thought were going to be really funny, and it actually, if you remember, turned out to be a really sad documentary.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think it's. What was it? Was it only Fools and Horses, where they sort of finished with something to do with Cassandra and Rodney's baby or something and they couldn't have a kid or something? But I remember him saying like oh yeah, we realise we don't always have to finish on a joke. That was us saying yeah, we can do other things. We don't have to just try and do silly things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we could do it all we could do Freddie Mercury as well. Actually, as a whole couldn't we who remembers Freddie Mercury? Who remembers Freddie Mercury? Who remembers John Deacon? I'd like to do that.
Speaker 2:actually, I don't even know if Brian May remembers John Deacon. To be honest, who's that?
Speaker 1:Who's that guys? Episode 5 was One Day in 1993, as we've talked about, Not a hit. Episode 6 was overrated TV. I think I went for Afterlife one of mine, I don't know what you went for.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think Fast.
Speaker 1:Show possibly. Then we had nearly a month break. I don't know why that was, but then we came up with Gladiators, which obviously we brought that back. That was when we started bringing things back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we resurrected rather than killed off then. Yeah, so we talked about gladiators, and then it came back to Sheffield.
Speaker 1:Arena. Yeah, Bradley, is it Bradley Walsh?
Speaker 2:I don't know, I don't know Episode 8, renford Rejects.
Speaker 1:This was a listener's request by someone who kept asking us to do Renford Rejects and, I believe, never listened to us again after because he'd never come out of anything after. No, they played us, didn't they? Yeah, this one episode 9, episode 10 we had to put out we were recording the same day. If I remember right, there were politics UK politics, usa politics again one of our lowest listened to episodes yeah, the audience did not want to do the politics did not want to listen to politics.
Speaker 1:Episode 11 was favourite TV sketches. This was quite a big one actually. I think I went for who shot Clive Anderson, as well as mine.
Speaker 2:We actually played, I think, with the old fashioned trousers.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, just remembering things, peter, we've all enjoyed the memories. We've all enjoyed the memories. Episode 12 was TV finales. These were our longest ever episode. Did you know him? I didn't actually know. Yeah, over an hour and a half this episode where we were discovered. And that's when I come up with the biker grove thing, where you were mad at me about, um, because the way biker grove ended oh yeah, aliens or something was it?
Speaker 1:yeah, dinosaurs and shit, yeah, they're all like you kept getting upset because I kept saying they become self aware what do you? Mean they become self aware.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you didn't like that and then we had two bonus episodes again. We can go back to this, and one of the things on my remembers list to do is Hulkamania the story of Hulkamania because we do get a lot of people talk about Hulkamania to us and Hulk Hogan, but we did two wrestling episodes back to back and then we I really enjoyed doing the Royal Rumble 92 watch-along, because you didn't know what the fuck was going on, did you?
Speaker 2:No, I'm not a huge fan of it and a lot of it was mad to me. But yeah, I don't know if we'll do more watch-alongs or not. There's one coming up later that kind of proves they can very much not work, so I'm not sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, another bonus episode was Warnock documentary. I don't know, I just didn't include that in a series because it was on TV. Oh, was it.
Speaker 2:I thought the reason was it wasn't shown on TV.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was, I don't know, but again, that's another thing we could do. I've got an idea of doing football funny videos or documentary VHS documentary on goals and gaffs, maybe go through that. Cbbc vs CITV kicked off series 4. That's when we came out with midweek Maidlers the first midweek Maidler, because we were getting a lot of listener feedback by that point.
Speaker 2:So yeah, at that point. Yeah, we wanted to. Well, yeah, just talk about some of the comments we got. To be honest sometimes because we either miss or just don't respond to things, so we just thought we'll do an episode.
Speaker 1:We'll do an episode. Episode two was Blind Date, and then we put it up against Noel's House Party.
Speaker 2:Blind Date. Blind Date.
Speaker 1:And then we Episode 4 we welcome Ben back into the booth for 30 years of the Premier League, and I think that's another one of our biggest episodes, isn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 2:another one I enjoyed as well, and this is obviously it is TV so we could do it. But because it's, because it was up to sort of we tried to do 20 years ago. I can't remember quite how we did it, but yeah, I don't know, we can sort of do. Who remembers the Arsenal Invincibles team? We're a bit freer, I think, now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've got some ideas about that. It's not TV, is it? But we can remember.
Speaker 2:Arsene Wenger.
Speaker 1:Who remembers Arsene Wenger? Has anybody seen Arsene Wenger? Yeah, you could do like the Cameroon team of 1990, couldn't you Just like a brief sort of you know a trip through their World Cup, or whatever? Episode five was Confessions of an Alien Abductee, and this is where the woman one of the women who featured in this did get in touch with us and basically said we were ignorant.
Speaker 2:Yeah, which I mean to be fair. Like you know, she believes what she believes.
Speaker 1:Then I get it, but we don't believe it. So, yeah, she was just saying I know what what's happening, I know what's going on. You two can laugh, the only one you're just being ignorant. It's like look, you know, fair enough, uh, whatever, uh.
Speaker 1:And then we obviously followed up that with uh, that peter gay thing, because that's the next logical step after doing yeah, that pk thing again another one that we got fairly good views for, if I remember right, then, oh, the worst episode we ever did, episode seven, was smash it, paul winners party. Do you want to explain what happened, neil?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, what's funny is on. I don't know what you've got, but I've got the episode title and a brief bit of text below it, it and on most of it it's a couple of sentences. On this one it says this episode is a shambles yeah, so I watched the wrong episode. Oh, we got mixed up in which year we were watching, so we watched different years of smash hits, paul and his party. We came to talk about it and realized we were talking about completely different events I think I can't remember.
Speaker 1:I said like also phil scoffill comes on. You went, what it's, not him, it is, that's right. That is a shambles. That episode, yeah, yeah, uh.
Speaker 2:Episode eight with tv detectives I can't really remember much about, to be honest I think I quite like that one because I think I mentioned the detectives with jasper carrot, which I think is oh, yeah, yeah, well I said that on under right. I've definitely talked about on something anyway, but yeah, I like that powell uh, episode 9 was the Major asked for this.
Speaker 1:Darts Players' Wives Really enjoyed that documentary.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was a bit of a hidden gem that one, wasn't it? Yeah, because I kind of you said, oh, let's do that, and I thought I don't know if there'd be much to talk about. But yeah, really brilliant actually that documentary.
Speaker 1:Episode 10, Top of the Pops Christmas 1992,.
Speaker 2:Episode 10, Top of the Pops Christmas 1992, which wasn't as good as 1996, if we're all going to be honest, no, I can't remember. Yeah, I'll agree. I'll agree with you because I don't know.
Speaker 1:Episode 11 was the World's Strongest man from 1994. Really enjoyed watching this one. Yeah, obviously we did like a New Year's Day thing, but we ran out of it. Bandana man weren't there. Bandana man was on it. Yeah, um. And then episode 12, where someone who I made words with so his manager in fact, um, so if you listen, hello tom. Um, he mentioned to me because I'll listen to this podcast called liver with madeleine, like some fucking hell, that's my mates and blah, blah, blah. He's almost your favorite episode and he said this one married to the eiffel Tower. Crazy, crazy episode, ridiculous episode, but again quite sad, not as funny as you might think.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's troubled people, isn't it really? Yeah, but I don't know. I think we've managed to get some humour out of it, I think.
Speaker 1:Series 4 bonus episode. This is easily one of our highest listens and easily one of my favorites Songs we find ridiculous. This is where I discovered Hulkster in Heaven, ba-da-ba-ba, I knew you were a Hulkamaniac Right from the very start. Right from the start.
Speaker 2:Brilliant. Well, actually as well. That episode is the one because I played Come up and see me make me smile, and that put me onto a couple of cover versions of it that I listen to quite often actually. So, yeah, that episode changed my life.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it changed your life. And then we started after that another bonus episode where Andrew and Liam investigate. Yeah, I really liked the investigation ones and because obviously we can do this and he remembers after that the?
Speaker 2:uh. Another bonus episode will liam and andrew and liam investigate?
Speaker 1:uh, yeah, I really like the investigation ones and because obviously we can do this and he remembers, because we can just say he remembers the unsolved whatever it's going to be, you know what I mean and we'll decide, but we'll obviously get to the bottom of it, like we always do. I think we proved as well. We're quite good at, yeah, sort of solving what's going on I don't think there's been a one yet that we haven't solved to. To be honest, I think Travelling Centre's a couple of direct messages.
Speaker 2:We'll solve them, mate, don't worry about that. He stitched me up today, by the way. He told me Carl Pilkington makes an appearance in the Oasis sketch from Comet Relief. Yesterday I thought, oh brilliant. So it's like I don't know how long it is 20 minutes or whatever it is. Not 10 minutes, it's all right.
Speaker 1:Carl Pocatillo appears for about one second and says no Cheers. Thanks for that, brilliant. You weren't lying to you.
Speaker 2:No, no, I was right. I just, yeah, just weren't what I wanted.
Speaker 1:Then we did a bonus episode, which is the same as what we're doing now really, but we put more effort into it and that was the best and worst of living we made. And then we came back for Series 5, which was CBBC versus CITV.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can't actually remember what we decided. I think did we end up with CBBC as the winner.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think CBBC won, but I think it was closer than we expected.
Speaker 2:The description said how many times will Andrew mention Jenny Powell, Jenny Powell was in it.
Speaker 1:Kate Hill yeah, got a few mentions in there. Episode 2, another one of our big ones actually. Yeah, graham taylor, the impossible job. I've got a feeling this is because the the actual documentary itself, is fucking brilliant so I think this little run here, this.
Speaker 2:So graham taylor impossible job, brilliant documentary. Elton john tantums and tiara's fantastic documentary, and then we did driving School, which is not a documentary, but I think those three I don't know if we because some we used to sort of spend a bit, believe it or not we used to actually try and do some research and I think the documentaries were always easier because we'd just watch them and make a few notes. So yeah, they must've been busy back then, I think.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm just reading Driving School now, the synopsis for it, and we've put what Did the Dog Think, but we've spelt what W-A-T. Yeah, what Did the Dog Think? So behind the curtain, here is we do use AI now, don't we? You'll probably notice, if anyone actually reads them, that we don't write the episode descriptions. We do use AI because we find it funner.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and we pay extra for that. So not only do we pay to make this podcast, we pay extra for ai to write our. I don't know why we do that, actually because ai is sort of free to use.
Speaker 1:Now it's free to use, yeah but I just find it funny because some of them are just like I don't know they're so like I don't know, they get it so wrong sometimes. Uh, but it is funny, uh. Episode five was memorable tv interviews. This is where we did clive Anderson and the Bee Gees walking off, which is still one of my favourite TV moments.
Speaker 1:Brass Eye, peter Geddon, episode six. Our mate Eggie had a funny story about this where he said he listened to this episode and he was pissing himself. And then he went to watch the actual episode of Peter Geddon and he didn't laugh once, which I don't understand whatsoever. Episode seven, euro Trash, of peter getter, and he didn't laugh once, which I don't understand whatsoever. But yeah, episode seven, euro trash, which were really bad not necessarily a bad episode, but, um, just not a very good program. And then number eight, really controversial one, bernard manning from beyond the grave. That were another long one. You were pissed, weren't you doing this, if you remember? Uh, you were doing it from a, from a Willing to believe it. Yeah, you were, if you remember, you kept like A motel, it's a travel tavern. It's a travel tavern. No, you did. You were drinking red wine and then you were just rambling on at the end, do you remember?
Speaker 2:I was working away, weren't I? Yeah, yeah, I think I was into my second bottle of I think it was white wine, but it could have been red. Yeah, we got called out. A couple of people called us out on that and said, yeah, we were a bit cowardly and how we did it.
Speaker 2:We didn't acknowledge that a lot of people liked him at the time that he sold out various theaters and you know, times have changed, but it doesn't mean he wasn't funny back then. But yeah, we probably were slightly cowardly on the list of who remembers.
Speaker 1:I don't know if we'll ever do it, but I have got Trivia Rounddown because he won massive. Yeah, that'll be an interesting one episode 9 was you Bet episode 10, matthew Kelly. He was a really tall learner. Episode 10 was Games Master, which I enjoyed doing that one, but I can't remember anything about it no, yeah, I can't comment, I can't remember anything.
Speaker 2:We said no, yeah, yeah, I can't comment, I can't remember anything. We said Was there something about Dominic Diamond? The way he looked, or didn't he look like? I can't remember. I thought he looked like Mr Badger from Wind in the Willow. Oh, that was it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that's right, yeah, and we had an over-a-month break until we did David Bowie Cracked actor. I don't know why I can't remember what happened there. I don't know if it was when my dad was in hospital. Life gets in the way sometimes. Life gets in the way, but we are going to try and do one every week. We're getting rid of series, aren't we? We're just going to try and do an episode every week. For who Remembers Episode 12,? We ended with Maverick Meets the Squatters, which is one of the greatest ever documentaries.
Speaker 2:To be fair, I can't believe that was end of Series 5. I thought we did that much earlier on, but, yeah, brilliant documentary that.
Speaker 1:And then we did the two-parter, the first Living With Mabley Roadshow to Chapel, St Leonard's, which has now become an annual trip.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so we get in a van with the logo on the side, don't we? And we travel blasting out the podcast on the way to Chapel, st Leonard's. No, we just went and stayed in Jodie's dad's caravan for a couple of nights.
Speaker 1:Separate bedrooms for anyone wondering Separate bedrooms, I get a sleeping bag actually.
Speaker 2:Most times.
Speaker 1:So we don't mess up the yeah, enjoy it. Hopefully go again next year. But we will do the who Remembers tour. Honestly, we could just do Chapel St Leonard's, because it's that old fashioned. We could literally just do a tour of Chapel St Leonard's and say, ooh, remember they were like you can buy sweets and toys and things there that are like from the 90s.
Speaker 2:So yeah, yeah, yeah well.
Speaker 1:I mean, I don't know. You can buy what would now be considered racist paraphernalia, can't you in certain shops?
Speaker 2:yeah, like, can't you in certain shops? Yeah, like I think you could probably buy saucy postcards as well, can't? Yeah, yeah?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like an old, yeah, and there's a lot like. There's like a lot of secondhand shops with vial. I remember going to this vinyl shop. They had like a load of benny hill vinyl. I don't know like where they came from. Um, as another bonus episode, we have mike parry, genius or maniac. Um, I think we might do another Mike Parry.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, there's loads to do with Mike Parry, because we could just do the two Mikes now, because it's radio innit as well.
Speaker 1:Yeah who?
Speaker 2:remembers the two Mikes and obviously Major Charles, who's someone we admire greatly, I would say.
Speaker 1:Hopefully he follows us to the who remembers thing. It should be right up his street.
Speaker 2:But yeah, if he takes against it, it might, that might be it, it might be done with it.
Speaker 1:But yeah, all I'll say is, we are still doing TV, but we're doing. Imagine like we could do stuff like who remembers white dog, shit, and we can talk about that for half an hour that sounds like a Ben Elton sketch.
Speaker 2:Is that? Is it Ben Elton? I don't know. Is it I don't know? Just I can imagine him sort of saying like no, I don't know, probably not anyway the 12 days of Maidley is what we did next where this was the hardest we've worked ever, I think yeah, we're getting fairly recent now, so imagine saying that this was 2023, two years ago.
Speaker 1:Oh, wow, I thought this was last Christmas. No, no, no, no. So. Yeah, so it's 12 Days of Maidland. We tried to well, we did do 12 episodes.
Speaker 2:Throw me that, yeah, yeah, we sort of had in our heads like an advent calendar, didn't we?
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we did 12 episodes and, to be fair, this is definitely the best received thing we've got. Like people and say you know, they go back to it now every Christmas, like on the day, which is great, love that. So we're all going to be leaving the episodes on, I think, aren't we anyway, even though we're going to rebrand.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, they'll still be there. The only thing I'm not sure on is if the title will change from Living With Maidly to who Remembers and if the kind of cover image will change or if the historic ones will stay as they are. I don't know, to be honest.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this is why we're going to have a break before as we fuck about, so you might yeah, you know what I mean. We are going to have a piss around, aren't we? I think we'll probably come back with a new Remembers tester episode, do you reckon?
Speaker 2:Yeah, like a sort of introduction to remembering things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, just what we're doing now, basically. Anyway, so we did the Office Christmas Special, we did He-Man and She-Ra, which I think you want to talk about.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, that proves to me a watch-along can be very bad if the actual content's not great. There wasn't much to talk about. I mean, we sort of kept trying to keep talking about the episode, but it was a bit weird. Not a lot happened, crap.
Speaker 1:Big break 94 Christmas Special watch-al along didn't really work neither, no, no.
Speaker 2:One of my all time favourite episodes came out of this, though, which were Christmas adverts yeah, that's up there, yeah, and, like I say, right back to series one, episode two, the adverts. So we'll probably remember more adverts.
Speaker 1:So if you sort of ever remember any good adverts, let us know, because we probably will remember more adverts yeah, yeah, any, any sort of adverts as well, even if they're, like you know, magazine, an advert in a magazine.
Speaker 2:That you're radio radio, yeah uh les dennis laughter show, which wasn't very good eastenders watch along did actually work fairly well, I think yeah, there's a bit more to talk about in that, and I think we both remembered it better as well, which helps, doesn't it so?
Speaker 1:yeah, good, uh, best of christmas, top of the pops um and then we did yeah, I like that one as well. Leaky gentleman christmas special, which were a request, I think, from ben that's, I've never seen that before, actually yeah, really good, really really good and then we sort of cheated with top five christmas films, another thing we can do, and who remembers his films?
Speaker 1:obviously I ain't seen many, but, um, I don't think we should do like the blockbuster film. Well, we could do, I suppose. But you know, if you've got any films that you want us to do or you want me to watch, I'll happily, you know, get on, I ain't got Netflix but you won't watch films. I will watch it for the listener, for our devoted fan base. The Snowman brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 2:Numbers the snowman brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Numbers were a little bit disappointing on that one. I thought that would really sort of grab our generation. But no, people didn't want to. Now we're asked about the snowman.
Speaker 1:This is where you described yourself as a Christmas hard man, because you sometimes stay up on 12. Yeah, I'm not some sort of Christmas hard man, but you know, just an old man at Christmas, uh. Bbc review of the year 1997, where we said that's the year India gained independence.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you got called out on that, definitely.
Speaker 1:So that's another thing we can do like not India game, but we could do like who remembers when princess Diana died? Um, and we'll do an unbelievably funny episode about that. Uh, then we did our own review of 2023.
Speaker 2:Yeah, then we did our own review of 2023. Yeah, that was the TV that was on that particular. Do you know what? It's absolutely blown my mind that that wasn't a Christmas. That's just gone. I was sure that we did that last Christmas time moves on.
Speaker 1:Series 6, episode 1 more mysteries. We solved more mysteries, obviously, as we normally do. Then we did guilty pleasure songs and then we got the list of guilty pleasure songs, where we got loads in for that, you remember yeah, the guilty pleasures and listen to guilty pleasure were really good actually, yeah then we did the sitcom world cup, so I'm not gonna go through every episode here, but um I presume, yeah, that was.
Speaker 2:We committed a full series just to do something different to doing that. Yeah, I our sort of take on what's the best UK sitcom. And you were slightly disappointed, I think, weren't you? Well, yeah, maybe a little bit, but I stand by the process. I think we gave everyone a fair shout, I think.
Speaker 1:Pink show winner beat Partridge in the final, alan Partridge in the final. So congratulations to those guys. We did a Euro 2024 bonus episode England's route to the final, so I can't believe England got to the final and in the final. So congratulations to those guys. We did a Euro 2024 bonus episode England's route to the final, so I can't believe England got to the final. And then the final series of Liverpool and Mali started fittingly with Richard and Judy in our own words.
Speaker 2:Yeah, which was a more modern documentary of them looking back on their time. So, yeah, we pinched that content and we talked about it.
Speaker 1:That's it. And then we did Jingles. We pinched that content and we talked about it, that's it. And then we did jingles. Episode eight series two series two was fuck off. Series eight episode two was jingles. Uh, tfi Friday we had to make it to a two part which we didn't mean to do. Um, you've got a lot of criticism here for your lack of knowing about bands like cast. However it was, cast was.
Speaker 2:I don't know who? It was Long Pig I don't remember who it was, yeah, long Pigs. And yeah, I don't know, I can't remember when it was shown. But yeah, I don't know how old I would have been. But yeah, I think Dead Bat. Dead Bat stopped his run because he was that angry with me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you were angry with me, really really angry with you. This is when we're doing the ai stuff as well. So this tier five, part two, starts with. Ever wondered about the origins of the nickname burt back out rock, as if it's like a famous um episode. Episode five was strangest village in britain.
Speaker 1:Again, this were really really like one of our highest listeners to a great documentary, yeah, yeah then we went to chapel st leonards and we stretched it out for three episodes and we and we realized, by the third episode we're probably our lowest ever numbers.
Speaker 2:We're just three, three episodes of karaoke, basically, and by the third one I think people are gonna fuck off so we promised, didn't we, yeah, when we did our first road show, we'd do some karaoke, and we didn't record it properly. Now we fucked it up, yeah, and everyone said, oh, come on, you've got a plate of karaoke. So we thought, oh yeah, everyone's going to love this. So, yeah, we did loads of karaoke, tried to spin it into a three-parter and by part three people thought, yeah, we've had enough of that we don't need.
Speaker 2:We liked it. We don't want any more of it we don't want it, we don a really really good documentary.
Speaker 1:Robot Wars, episode 7. Really good one. Episode 8, one of our best ones, in my opinion.
Speaker 2:Steve Irwin, that would be one of your picks, yeah obviously I love Steve Irwin, so I enjoyed talking about him.
Speaker 1:Episode 9 was Trouble at the Top, buxfiz vs David Van Day, which again what I like doing about Maitland stuff or any of you who remember stuff is. I would never have watched this documentary, but david van day now is one of my most sort of I don't know fascinating creatures ever surprised.
Speaker 2:I'm not necessarily hit, but but like, yeah, people, there are a lot of sort of talk and quite good numbers on that one then we're going to christmas episodes, which are noel's christmas presents, where you reiterated your hatred of mr noel edmunds.
Speaker 1:Uh, cooking at christmas, which we wanted to do the year before, which I haven't sent us in, um, I'm glad we did that one for for and we could do just general cooking yeah, we could do more on that sort of stuff, yeah yeah, merry christmas.
Speaker 2:Mr bean was episode 12 the numbers on that one, by the way. I thought that yeah I suppose to me that was like a really sort of nostalgic memory, but obviously not to a lot of the listeners?
Speaker 1:No. And then the final of the actual series was was Christmas TV better 30 years ago, when we got a Christmas message from Major Charles which was fantastic?
Speaker 2:Yeah, and actually we've sort of really gone off the boil a bit, haven't we then? Because that finished, so that series finished on Christmas Day and then since then there's been five episodes. Five things. Yeah, yeah, you want to. We need to up our game there a bit, don't we?
Speaker 1:So we came back with 25 Years of Talk Sport definitely one of my favourite episodes. Just going through the Talk Sport stuff, conspiracy theories this is where we I think it was the conspiracy theories when we decided should we just stop doing this and stop doing it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, because we love talk sport.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we love doing talk sport, we love doing conspiracy theories, we love doing the songs and stuff. So I said I remember saying to you fuck, you know, I've got to go back to TV. And I thought that. And then the Dave Jones conspiracy, which was the last mad, that's the mad last episode other than this that we did.
Speaker 2:It's incredible, it's almost like we've been forced off air, like we've got guns in our backs now as we're recording, aren't we?
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're onto us. We've had to stop them because of the Dave Jones thing and then, obviously, this one. So that's the journey. That is the journey, but, like I say, not much is going to change.
Speaker 2:To be completely honest with you, we're just a bit freer to talk about more things. So, yeah, and also, hopefully, when people come across it, they don't think what on earth is that? I'm not going to listen to that. They think, oh, I'm up for a bit of remembering.
Speaker 1:Yeah, people like remembering things. Like I say, we're just going to I don't know how it's going to work we're going to try and mess about with the feed and stuff like that on the Twitter page and all that sort of stuff, and so everyone, thanks for listening so far. I've got a few comments, by the way, before we go, if you, if you want to indulge me, since since the last midweek, real Wobby B said he was absolutely howling Peninsula. That's it, isn't it? But he's still none the wiser.
Speaker 2:I'm not sure it is Peninsula, because you're not talking about a peninsula, are you? You're talking about a place. So we still don't know, even after all this.
Speaker 1:He said shock horror. First goal for Mexico and now living with Maidley. When will it end? Same theme tune, different lyrics. It's a request, but I don't know. I don't know if it would work. Can you remember this? Remember this we're gonna piss around with this. We might, we might use um, we might use an ai thing, uh again, but it won't. We're not just gonna put it. There's some of these fucking podcasts and shows. We've got absolutely terrible theme tunes and you can tell it's ai.
Speaker 2:Yeah we yeah we, we did as well, if any of them think they're fooling people.
Speaker 1:The reggae one that we did were really good, though, like when we did our own theme tune. So we're looking for something like that, or we're not necessarily a reggae, but something that sounds a bit more ooh remembers. Uh, anyway, nick said booked a week in peninsular. On the back of this episode, um web ding said uh, he said he's he's shocked at the no more mail, the revelation. He says good job, he was on the train and not driving.
Speaker 2:Um, yeah, I think we read that one out last time, because didn't we say like we can imagine him pulling the emergency stop?
Speaker 1:no, that's the, that's the reference he's made. He's, you know, he's a reference. He's a yeah, meta, uh, matt says does this mean a new twitter account to replace this one? And if you have, you checked that the famous comedian from bolton has an already trademark. Who remembers another similar, similar phrases? Um, and he also says favorite lost chocolates and sweets has to be in the new series that is on the list yeah, definitely you.
Speaker 2:You create a digital digital account, I think, and even though there wasn't any living with madeley, we still became one, yeah it's one.
Speaker 1:I don't know if you can change your twitter account. I've got a feeling you can. I've got a feeling you can not. Sure we're going to look into it.
Speaker 2:But yeah, I mean whether it's on there to.
Speaker 1:If we do move, we'll carry on posting on there for a bit, to you know very rarely post.
Speaker 1:Now, anyway, do it. So, yeah, we are going to try and I, well, I am going to try and get better at that um posted and responding and shit like that, because we leave it to each other and then none of us. We've got a message from uh, gary, from october really funny message. I'm not gonna read it out, like I say, forget personal message or direct message, I don't. I don't always know if they're what I'm reading out, but I also like pissing myself is uh, but I for his message from october. I'd only just seen it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we both thought the other was going to respond, and nobody responded. We've done that a few times, haven't we?
Speaker 1:so yeah, uh, navdeep said obviously great, uh, contributor to the show, navdeep. He said shock, said shock news. End of an era, start of a new one. Can't wait to hear what exciting new adventures you go on, it'll be pretty much the same To be fair.
Speaker 2:yeah, I mean Nav's been with us right from the start, hasn't he? So I wonder how he came across it in the first place. But yeah, glad to have Nav on board with a new venture.
Speaker 1:Yeah, webding added your lookalikes to his list as well, by the way, as you forgot to say Darren Bent. And then someone Sean actually the podfather said like Darren Bent. Right, really confused, and he said he only writes them down because you said he looks a bit like Darren Bent.
Speaker 2:It was on screen at the time and there was something about I don't know. Just glanced across and I thought, yeah, can he? We were joking about how he looks like everyone. I've sort of even see a bit of him in darren ben. Yeah. Yeah, there's also two of the four versions of david the dad from the chipmunks yeah, because he's put dave of the chipmunks on his list and in brackets. Two versions, two different versions four versions, but there's only two.
Speaker 1:That I think yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah um webbing also said uh, we actually put more tough to club content out than they have recently. So obviously we mentioned um about that and he talks about his lookalikes. Jane says she says just catch it up with this. I'd have to listen to the part three times to check that I heard Panchero Right. Did he actually say penis failure or did a penis fail? Penis failure, penis failure, penis failure failure.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can well believe, you said it yeah. It's not like one of those what do you call it?
Speaker 1:like Freudian slips? Yeah, penis failure. Simon said while listening to this podcast. It has distracted me from Derby Day nerves, obviously, the big Sheffield Derby last week. He actually messaged this on the morning of the Derby and I were nervous. I had three toilet breaks before that game. Liam on this penis failure. Um, anyway, he said yeah, um, a conversation with his wife. She said what you're listening to it sounds like two blokes having a stroke at the same time and that's why we go for it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's that's what we've gone for. So you know, it's a compliment, if anything. Um, yeah, obviously the bit that they were listening to was the uh, the penis failure bit, um, and stuff. So yeah, um, yeah, it's an absolute goal. So thanks to him and his wife for both listening. Um, oh, bloody hell, I've gone off the page. Let me give me two seconds. Let me get back down. Uh, right, I'm back on and we are here with that. That sounded like we've cut that, but no, we didn't cut that. Now, just give me a second. Right, I'm back. That's how professional we're getting these days. Uh, cappy said on rebranding chris packer, we've talked about it so privately. Chris package changed colors in the 80s. Cheese and onion used to be green. He says he's had people tell him it's the mandela effect and that he's misremembering, but he's adamant yeah.
Speaker 2:So I was really sort of like, oh, hold on a minute. Yeah, that's, that sounds right. So I typed it in and there's a there's a guy who's done a video on it that it was golden wonder, was green salt vinegar? Uh, yeah, no other way around. I always remember it being green cheese and onion, but it was something to do with. There's like a few different tragedies, like Golden Wonder got a decision wrong, the factory burnt down. There were a few different things and Walker's took over.
Speaker 1:Well, this is the sort of shit you're going to be getting on here. Remember half an hour of Chris chat. We could do a Chris World Cup. I think Dead Bat were talking about doing that at one point, weren't they?
Speaker 2:they've not done it, have they? We could do a crisp World Cup. I think Dead Bat were talking about doing that at one point, weren't they? Yeah, they've not done it, have they? Or the biscuits and stuff like that they talk about?
Speaker 1:They've done biscuits and stuff.
Speaker 2:yeah, we're not going to hang on tofty's toes. No, no, no, we're going to do old ones who knows?
Speaker 1:We could do modern ones, we're going to do old ones.
Speaker 2:Cap Also a phenomenal shout by Liam that the interaction might be a bit awkward if you met short circuit. Yeah, somebody had met Dave Jones, hadn't they, and said he seemed a bit awkward Richard.
Speaker 1:I'm going to go to Dyspraxia First. I'll mention Dyspraxia in this episode. Richard said if you're going to drop a massive announcement, it feels it should be Panchero to drop it. Do you get it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, you fumble things. You dropped it again, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm going to go with the mental. Is it mental, is it mental disorder? Nice to coordinate. I don't know what it is. Anyway.
Speaker 2:I say it's physical. Yeah, I don't know. Actually, Is it neurological or is it something in the wiring that you've got that's broken? I don't know.
Speaker 1:I'd just give generously. Just give, give generously. Yeah, nick says, is the announcement that saturday is now middle of the week, because the major mentioned this as well about how we did a midweek uh message, and maybe midweek mainly, should I say. Didn't we sort of address that though in the episode? Yeah, but obviously you're just looking at the title you're thinking what, what they released this for?
Speaker 2:yeah, I mean, yeah, stand by it stand by me and that is everything, liam, and that is the final living with mainly podcast yeah, it's quite sad now we've come to that on this 150th episode at the exact time that we recorded four years ago. But, yeah, what a journey.
Speaker 1:What a ride, what a ride, but genuinely thanks for everyone who's listened and please do follow us on the next uh adventure that we go on, because it's going to be more of the same shit, um, but it's just going to be more topics to cover and you don't have to do this thing where we say um, oh.
Speaker 2:If you haven't seen it, the stuff that we're talking about you will probably know about yeah, we're focusing mainly on sort of 90s and 2000s uh sorry, I think and 90s and early 2000s.
Speaker 1:I think we're going to try and find it. We're going to call it who Remembers, and then 30 years. Basically, I don't know. Try and find it, if anyone can think of a good tagline for us. So we're basically covering 1980 to 2010. We will be venturing out of that, but that's the main bulk. So, if anyone can, who remembers? And then a tagline.
Speaker 2:To sum, it up and one day we might be doing a who remembers living with Maidly episode.
Speaker 1:So who knows what?
Speaker 2:the future's got to come. But, genuinely, if you've listened to even just a minute of us talking nonsense, I don't know why you'd still be in now if that's all you've done. But if you, particularly if you've liked, if you've liked, if you've commented, if you've sent us a message, if you've told a friend to give it a go, then yeah, we really appreciate it and, yeah, a genuine thank you from us to everyone listening.
Speaker 1:Yeah, absolutely, and thank you to you, liam, and we'll play out then with the final time.
Speaker 2:Can you? Be, bothered to record a sort of slow down sad version of the thing Give me two seconds. Hang on. I've to sort of record a sort of slowed down, sad version of the thing. Give me two seconds, I'm gone. This is genuinely like I've not asked you to do this before now? Can you hear that? Yeah, well, if you're playing a guitar next to the microphone, yeah, I can't remember how it goes yeah, that's not where it goes.
Speaker 1:I can't, because I genuinely forgot how it goes. I really genuinely can't. Now is the answer to that, because I can't remember how it goes. What is it Anyway? Hang on.
Speaker 2:No, you're too jolly.
Speaker 1:Oh, hang on, I think I've got it.
Speaker 2:Is it A minor in there?
Speaker 1:I think I've got a capo.
Speaker 2:F G.
Speaker 1:Is it start minor in there? I think I've got a capo F, G. Is it start with a C? No, it's not right. It's impossible to play. It's the hardest song to play, To be fair this ending completely sums it up.
