WHO REMEMBERS? The UK Nostalgia Podcast
Listener's Feedback 19/07/25
What happens when podcast plans fall apart? You roll with the punches. When our special guest couldn't make it, we decided to dive into the treasure trove of listener comments we've been collecting—and discovered we might have accidentally cursed another celebrity in the process.
The episode kicks off with a surprisingly candid discussion about podcast economics. Several listeners have asked for longer episodes, which led us to ponder: should we start a Patreon? We wrestle with not wanting to be "knobheads" while acknowledging the realities of production costs. Would you actually pay for more of this nonsense? We genuinely want to know.
From there, we journey through a remarkable range of topics sparked by your comments. We address accusations of inappropriate cartoon character attractions (it was Daria, not Dora!), revisit the mysterious blacking up of Subbuteo figurines, and share the hilarious story of someone who spent years thinking they were playing a Game Boy football game when they were merely watching the computer play itself.
This impromptu listener feedback episode reveals the strange, surprising community we're building together. Your comments aren't just fodder for content—they're the lifeblood of what makes this podcast special. Whether you've been with us from the beginning or just stumbled upon us, we hope you'll share your own memories, corrections, and bizarre childhood experiences.
Drop us a line at whorememberspod@outlook.com or find us @whorememberspod on Twitter and Bluesky. And please, let us know if you'd support a Patreon—discreetly if you prefer. We promise not to judge you for wanting more of this shambles.

Speaker 2:There's something called the internet.
Speaker 1:Stop joking. Thanks, steve, but none of the locals got paddling. Yeah, that's for me. No bottle this kit. I can't speak. You can't win anything with kits. Heck, no One of the superstar video games in the business. Hello and welcome to who Remembers the UK nostalgia podcast my name is Andrew and I'm joined by Leroy of Liamshire.
Speaker 2:Hello.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I didn't expect that. I didn't know you were going to use my full title. To be honest, liam of Liamshire. Yeah, and this is a fairly impromptu listener's comments, isn't it? Because we were supposed to be recording tonight with a special guest, but he couldn't make it. Promises were made. Promises were made and promises were not kept.
Speaker 2:To be fair, we get it, don't we? Life keeps happening and you just have to roll with the punches, don't you Roll with the punches?
Speaker 1:Yep, some of us are professional to roll with the punches. Don't you Roll with the punches? Yep, some of us are professional, some of us are not. No, so we obviously going through. We thought this would be a good way to go through everyone's comments, because we've left it later and later and later. Do you want to just bang on to it, liam? Do you want to get straight through listeners' comments?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you've divided it in two. I'm going first, yeah, and actually what I notice is you started us with a bit of a theme here. So first comment we have is from Berlin Blade the legend, the man, the myth, the legend, berlin Blade, yeah, condolences. He recently lost his job, didn't he? Yeah, he'll bounce back. He'll bounce back. Yeah, certainly he's probably already bounced back.
Speaker 2:But anyway, shame the episodes aren't a little bit longer. Some of these topics are pretty niche and hard to get an hour plus out of them, I guess. So, yeah, I mean you I think you responded, I don't. I don't quite agree. It makes us sound like absolute paupers, saying like we can't do it because it costs more money. We could, we could do longer episodes. We're restricted to sort of monthly content length and, yeah, we're sort of conscious that at the end of the month we can't have more than a certain amount of content or we have to pay a little bit more. It's not a huge amount more, but that's the cap, that's where we have to fit within. So, yeah, take Berlin Blaze Point. There are certain times where we would like to carry on for a bit longer, but we sort of feel like we've probably done enough on that now and we finish it yeah.
Speaker 1:And we also have to think like if we wrap up here, we could probably get another episode out this month, like do you know what I mean? So it's like you do have to pay for the hours it every week. We used to be quite more sporadic. We try to do it every single Tuesday. This is obviously coming out on a Saturday.
Speaker 2:The list of feedback. Well, we'll discuss further, probably after the next couple of comments, but the list of feedback has just gone out. As and when, We've sort of read that Tuesday is a great day for releasing. Don't know if that's true, but that's what we're going with. We've read it. We don't like it. We're gonna have to go along with it. Yeah, um, and the next comment, carl. Do you think by this point there's enough to start a patreon 30 minutes by the?
Speaker 1:way. By the way, this has. Yeah, this is not in brackets.
Speaker 2:Andrew, carl. This as well as far as we, unless you've set up another account called Carl that I don't know about. As far as I'm concerned, Carl is a real he responds to a lot. Unless it's you and you don't want to say it. So do you not think by this point there's enough to start a Patreon 30-minute episode for free and a full director's cut behind a paywall? So this is interesting. We've thought about it, haven't we? You don't want to be a knobhead, do you? No, that's it.
Speaker 1:You don't want to be a dick, you don't want to be. Oh, here we go after money. If we could make our money back from doing this, we could easily do, obviously, a 30-minute episode and free full director's cut, but I don't know how many people would be that interested in it realistically, so genuinely, do like I don't want to fuck anyone off. Let us know if you would be interested in paying yeah, I mean obviously. I said it'll not be a small fee.
Speaker 2:It'll not be a small fee nobody's going to want to publicly admit they would pay money for this nonsense. So send us a DM or an email or whatever. But potentially we would love to do more with this. I mean, it doesn't cost a huge amount of money, but it does cost us money each, each month to host it.
Speaker 1:If we could just call it a website done as well.
Speaker 2:Don't like yeah, we've looked at website. Everything I'm reading tells us you need to do a certain one, that you get your domain and you get ai tools to be able to do quite clever stuff on there. But that costs money. We'd I mean, long term, we'd absolutely love to have a go at maybe even recording some of the bits of scripts and skips that we've got written yeah, I mean, obviously we're nowhere near that, but but yeah, if there is a kind of appetite for something like that, we would certainly look into it.
Speaker 1:It sounds a bit like David Brent when he's going public. Seem to be like yeah, what else have you got?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean we have got other stuff. I don't know how good it is, but there is more we can do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, ultimately it's not a sob story.
Speaker 2:This is it.
Speaker 1:We enjoy doing this, you know if you look at the living room and we didn't come in like thinking like, oh, I want to make money out of it. If people want longer episodes, we probably will have to set a patient up to do it, just purely because it's going to cost us even more yeah, we don't want to put stuff out.
Speaker 2:It's becoming like more than a sort of premium gym membership per month, like, like you know, we like this. It's a nice hobby, but we can't keep bankrolling it Like. I don't know Like you say and, by the way, if nobody wants that, that's absolutely fine.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, this is what I mean. I don't want to come across as like fucking out. You know, like, hit, like and subscribe one of them thingy, but people like obviously there's two comments here. Berlin and Carl were both long-term listeners. Like I say, the reason the episodes are short is because we're trying to do them weekly, but we'd have to pay more if we did them longer. Because you have to pay by the minute.
Speaker 2:We might do more if there's an appetite for just covering costs. Basically, and also, again, this sounds a bit sort of like oh, like they're trying to be, but but if anyone is sort of struggling, isn't, is out of work and would and really wants access to the the page.
Speaker 2:Yeah, then then we will have to take ownership of your house Now. Now we would give people free access if they're struggling. It's just if you have the People say, don't they? Oh, it's the price of a coffee per week. If you could spare that for us to do more, it'd be nice if you could give us a little indication on that, because we might do more with it, yeah, and if not, fuck it, we'll just carry on doing what we're doing.
Speaker 2:If not, we'll just keep the averagely good, fairly regular content coming out, and that's it, you can have it gratis, for free.
Speaker 1:But yeah, like I say, brought it out first because, like I say, we wanted to bring it up on here just to say people are interested. I'll happily do it. I can afford to do more in terms of time-wise, but I can't afford it. Where do you draw?
Speaker 2:the fucking line yeah, we can afford it, but it's not just like we're not homeless. We can afford it, but we don't want to pay any more.
Speaker 1:to be honest, Don't want to afford it. Yeah, so let us know if anyone would be interested in a Patreon and what you might want to fucking do. Let us know. If we don't hear anything, we move on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we'll pretend we never asked. Next comment from Ron Just rated your new podcast. Went for the classic three-star. Like all the best restaurants, three-star is average to poor service, infrequent attention, no refills, but the food is great. Yeah, so he's kind of saying the content's great but the service is not great. So we're not doing enough.
Speaker 1:Well, I think it's just not enough attention to detail and things like that. Do you know what I mean? We just turn up, don't't?
Speaker 2:we and see what happens, and then sometimes you get a good meal sometimes you get a good meal and, like I say, no refills.
Speaker 1:That could be an analogy about how short some episodes are.
Speaker 2:But, as we've said, I agree, by the way, with the sentiment because I don't like this thing that when people are reviewing a film or a footballer's performance, that the average seems to become a six or six and a half. Five is the average. That should be the midpoint. Nobody should get a 10. A nine is for a world-class performance, a world-class film. I don't like this thing that everything's put. I mentioned it once before, I think on the Living With Maidly feed. I remember reading the PlayStation magazine and Tomb Raider the first one, which, by the way, is one of my favourite games. I think it got 109%. It got 10.9 out of 10. God yeah, it's just not right, is it?
Speaker 1:I remember not really that similar, but I remember Supergrass' greatest date. It was called Supergrass' 10. And the enemy gave it 10 out of 10, and they used the 10 on the album cover and I thought you know you would not give that 10 out of 10, if you couldn't use that like quite smart bit of artwork, do you know?
Speaker 2:what I mean, yeah, and from what I know of Supergrass.
Speaker 1:I'd be very surprised if it was Astonbury. When they said, come on everybody and literally, like silence, tumbleweed, Justice was served. A bit like us when we're asking for a patron.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Holding the mic out in silence. Yeah. Comment from Gary Review left. Keep up this kind of shambles. Cheers, Gary. Yeah, that's the aim. We don't aim to sort of become more professional.
Speaker 1:We like the level of shambles baby shambles, um, yeah, there's loads, by the way, I'm gonna, we're gonna, include them in this, but we'll do it next time. Thanks to everyone who has life ratings on apple and stuff like that, on spotify and what have you, because, um, you know, we did ask for that, um, and and you've delivered, uh, some of your six, of your seven maybe, um, but this is actually nearly back to the sort of same level of subscribers on Spotify and Apple that we had previously.
Speaker 1:We're not far away, so yeah cheers everyone.
Speaker 2:And if if you haven't done that, you're probably not listening, so you won't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, by the way, liam, I'll tell you this live. Well, I'll ask you this live. I've had to set my earphones out, marino styles, not because, like you're boring or anything, but, um, I lost my earphones at work, don't know how, so I've been using these other ones and I can't hear, so I've had to take it out. Are you getting any feedback from this? This is like live age. You know when, um, old paul mccartney could live age? Sorry, old paul mccartney could hear with feedback when they were singing. Let it be. Is this a build-up to you wanted to sing.
Speaker 2:I Don't Like Mondays. No, no, no, no, I'm not getting any feedback. I wouldn't have known. I did not know that you've switched audio.
Speaker 1:This is where we go to yeah, please give us five star. Anyway, carry on Liam.
Speaker 2:Jack, was just listening to your Listener's feedback episode. You mentioned Kim from how Clean Is your House? As the episode ended, the news came that Kim had just died. Is the curse back. Yeah that. As the episode ended, the news came that Kim had just died. It's the curse back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's the first killing of the new show, I think.
Speaker 2:Yeah, weren't there someone else? Have we injured somebody else? So yeah, on the early Living With Maitley feed, we mentioned people who tended to die quite soon after we mentioned them and that was the curse of Maitley. And obviously Kim is the first fatality of this series.
Speaker 1:And I still don't really know who she is.
Speaker 2:Oh, we're 10 episodes in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 10 episodes.
Speaker 2:She's the quite sort of oversized woman, big eyes. Yeah, big eyes we're showing I'm a celebrity? I think so, but I don't know that. Who's the one who?
Speaker 1:fainted. That was Gillian McKeith right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she's not Gillian McKeith. No, they're different people.
Speaker 1:Kim and Agate. Kim and Agate, how clean is your house?
Speaker 2:A little one on top of her head.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know what I mean they must clean this house.
Speaker 2:Always really passive-aggressive, come on, sweetie. Always really passive-aggressive, come on, sweetie, you must do better.
Speaker 1:You must do better with this. Yeah, I think. Yeah, I often get mixed up with Trini and Susanna, who are the. Look how fucking shit you've dressed. You look like a right pile of dog shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't remember that episode Coming from the Major Major Charles. I always think Liam and Andrew podcast vehicle hasn't really properly started until they bump off a beloved celebrity. Barrymore is a lucky man.
Speaker 1:He is because we have got a Barrymore episode somewhere in the vaults but we don't know where it's gone.
Speaker 2:We can't find the recording. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, he's safe for now, isn't he? But if we can ever dig that out, then yeah, who knows I safe for now, isn't it? But if we can ever dig that out, then yeah, who knows, I don't know, I'd be interested. We tried not to sort of be quite cowardly on that.
Speaker 1:We did actually talk about oh yeah, we talked about the big incidents. I'm disappointed. We went deep excuse the pun deep into the big incident and you found something amazingly funny out that I don't want to give away now in case we find the episode again.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah yeah, I know what you mean.
Speaker 1:yeah, move on because we don't want to ruin it.
Speaker 2:We'll move on. So Nav sent us a report about how the world's oldest marathon runner died. He was 114 and started running at age 89. Imagine that. Do you know what I fancy? I want to start doing marathon running at 89.
Speaker 1:I've had my nan around today. She's 88. We might get her on an episode we're thinking about at some point. But yeah, but yeah, I can't. Well, you know, she's quite a. I'm going to say real, I'm going to say she's quite a fit woman. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:She's quite active as a woman for her age. I can't imagine her going running. No, I mean, you've sent me a clip of a slowly walking into a room and adjusting a jacket donald trump style, yeah, donald trump style when he pushes the serbian montenegro.
Speaker 1:Should I say, uh, president, out of the way yeah but yeah. So I don't know if that's. Does that the fact you started running at 89? I can't work out here. If the is it, did he get to 89 because he wasn't exercising or did he last to 140 because he started exercising? Do you know what I mean? It's a. It's a difficult one because 89 is a good age.
Speaker 2:Well, I read it initially as a joke that the world's oldest marathon runners finished has died. He's 114. He started running the marathon when he was 89. So so, as in like it's, he started running the marathon when he was 89.
Speaker 1:So, as in like he's taken him 26 years.
Speaker 2:Ah, I've missed that. 16 years, I don't know. I don't know if that's right. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1:Right, right, that makes more sense. By the way, I'm going to stick up for Mike Porche-Aparé here because, as you know, when I've had, I wouldn't say I've had too many drinks, when I'm not saying I've drunk too many drinks, when I've had about four pints, I fancy a nice cigarette sometimes. But I stopped doing it and yeah, but our mate came out. You know, brendan, he's again not a non-smoker, but when drinks have been flowing he likes to get the cigarettes out. So I had a couple of cigarettes with him and I did a run two days after and it was the best run I've done all year. So people who don't know, Mike Porcupari says that everyone should have one cigarette a day because it cleans out your lungs, and I think he might be right.
Speaker 2:And there were sort of first advertisers, like a sort of breathing aid weren't there.
Speaker 1:I think they need to research more into this, because I was thinking, oh, not only did I get battered on, you know weekend, like a few drinks in the sun and all that sort of stuff, and it were hot, I'd also having a few cigarettes as well. I thought this is going to be a terrible run, Unbelievable. I felt like what's his name? We?
Speaker 2:don't cram, condemn or condone cigarette smoking for marathon running.
Speaker 1:Well, my mum is literally dying of COPD, of course from cigarette smoking, but so we do condemn it. Probably, then, so we do condemn it, but at the same time, it did help you run, it did help me run, so maybe there's a line to be drawn. Don't do 40 a day, like she did, or whatever, and just have a couple. I just think Mike might be onto something once again. I think he's onto something.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we don't have any medical research background, do we? Not really no, no, certainly not accredited. But anyway, gaz sent us the Donald Trump REM. So yeah, I sent this to you. You can't unhear it, can you?
Speaker 1:Is it losing my religion? No, is it, oh, losing my religion? Yeah, it is, yeah.
Speaker 2:It does sound unbelievably like Donald Trump, to the point where, once you've heard it, it's quite hard to unhear it.
Speaker 1:So if anyone heard this, everyone will have heard Losing my Religion. If you haven't just play Losing my Religion and imagine it's Donald Trump singing, it sounds exactly like him, grab me to my knees.
Speaker 2:Beautiful knees, the best knees.
Speaker 1:Best knees greatest knees. We were in a pub, weren't we? On Tuesday actually? And they had the new. You could see those cheapo pubs who hadn't got Sky and they just had BBC News on all day with subtitles on, and they were on Wernie Trump and I said what's this idiot up to now? And the subtitles were saying he's not an intelligent man, he's got a low IQ, very low IQ.
Speaker 2:He's got a low IQ the lowest. I passed the test. I finished the test and actually had an additional question myself because it was a really serious thing you were talking about.
Speaker 1:There were loads of like photographers and stuff. We didn't know where it works, we couldn't hear it and it was just him talking about his own IQ and like people's low IQ.
Speaker 2:Then he left like goodbye yeah, he just walked away, chango Mutley. So yeah, quite an interesting one. This I didn't quite know what to make of it sent us a trailer. So on the Liverman Maitley feed we did an episode fairly early on I think, called I Swear I Can't Help it, which was the Johnny Davidson Tourette's guy. We watched a documentary about that. They're actually making a film of his life yeah, I forgot it looks genuinely good like of his life.
Speaker 1:Yeah it looks genuinely good, like it's the, the right. It looks really good because it looks funny, obviously, um, but it really does look like sort of like it's going to be like quite a heartfelt thing. I think it might be. I don't know, I can imagine ken loach directing it. It doesn't I ain't looked into a direct so you're not going to get that from me, but it might be. It might be the 101st film that I go and see that I've ever seen yeah, I'd be up for watching that 100.
Speaker 2:Um. We move on to feedback on the liar liar episode. So trade a blade. Um, love this episode, even if I was shouting the actual plot at the car stereo, so yeah yeah, he gave us a few suggestions.
Speaker 1:we've got loads of suggestions what to do next in this. We've written them all down. So next time we do a, you know who can remember whatever film plot. Yeah, we've got loads of suggestions. Cheers for that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that's kind of the point of those ones. Hopefully, is that it's a balancing act. We want to remember enough that it's not just us not remembering anything, but we hope that some of the listeners remember a little bit more than us or are kind of correcting us.
Speaker 1:We've got a lot of suggestions for Hot Fools and I went to see that at cinema. I've only seen it once. I can't commit to that one, to be fair.
Speaker 2:He hasn't wore it since Tyrone I was screaming. It's the guy from Saw all the way through. However, I remember Andrew hasn't seen many films, so I'm not sure if he's seen Saw. Never seen Saw. I have seen Saw. I don't know which guy he means, though. Does he mean the?
Speaker 1:Is it the dad?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm guessing it must be the dad that we thought, or I thought certainly was Billy from Beverly Hills Cop. I'm guessing it might be him that he's talking about, but I've not seen Saw enough times to know who that is. But yeah, we bow down to your film knowledge. We're expert rememberers, but we don't know that many films Ben guy from Beverly Hills Cop. So this is I was trying to think of. He's got a great name Judge Reinhold.
Speaker 2:I think, Liam may be thinking of the Santa Claus in which he plays an orca, but well-meaning stepdad, absolutely right on the money. That is exactly what I was thinking of. So, yeah, nailed it coming from Nav the wrestler. Yeah, sting film teams which never made the final cut.
Speaker 1:The wrestler Sting.
Speaker 2:Ah, the wrestler Sting. I thought you meant in the film the Wrestler, no, the.
Speaker 1:Wrestler Sting.
Speaker 2:Man, he's never read English before. Yeah, sting, I don't know the wrestler.
Speaker 1:Sting. Well, he's fucking irrelevant to you.
Speaker 2:then, to be fair, Cheers don't have anyway, but did not interest liam that comment I mean in hindsight, yeah, he's obviously talking about the film, while I would be weird if he was talking about the film the wrestler and and it would be weird if sting was in a film called the wrestler to be fair, you did talk to me that sex thing.
Speaker 1:You know he has sex for like 100 hours. What's it?
Speaker 2:what you think he could like pin people in sort of yeah, I reckon he's obviously got a lot of stamina, hasn't he? Yeah, you know that stamina, don't you Stamina?
Speaker 1:I did know that, but what were it yesterday that I couldn't say? We were talking private, not privately. We were talking on the phone yesterday. What were it? Oh, mispronunciation, I could not say it. I genuinely couldn't say it, because you know what I'm like I mispronounce it, I just could not say it. Ridiculous Dyspraxia. Is that dyspraxia? Well, probably not.
Speaker 2:This guy's got a low IQ. I'd go for a test with him.
Speaker 1:John, I swear the Highlander is on every Saturday late night on BBC One and ITV2 really likes to equalise it.
Speaker 2:I've never seen either of them, Really no.
Speaker 1:I've got the Highlander soundtrack because Queen. I've got a kind of magic on tape, cassette tape from when I was really young, Isn't?
Speaker 2:the famous one who wants to live forever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but kind of magic's on it. One vision Friends will be friends, friends will be friends on it. That doesn't seem to fit Princes of the Universe, here we are. Born to be kings. Is that brilliant when he goes, bring on the girls.
Speaker 2:I wonder when they play Friends Will Be Friends in the film?
Speaker 1:I'd be interested to know they might not. I don't know, because there's a lot. It's not a very good album, to be honest. The hits are decent. Obviously it's Hammer to Fall on that one. Hammer to Fall might be on that one as well. But the hits are good, but the fucking album tracks are terrible.
Speaker 2:That's one of your favourite Queen bits, isn't it? Is it the he who stands up tall and proud? It's just the shadow in the mushroom cloud.
Speaker 1:These sad voices can't be heard. You just want to scream it louder and louder. Yeah, brilliant, brilliant.
Speaker 2:Anyway, we move on to human combustion. So this was the spontaneous human combustion episode Timpani. The reason feet and hands remain is the absence of a lot of fat, which is the main combustible element. It's the fat soaking into the clothes and creating a candling effect. That means the fire doesn't the clothes and creating a candling effect, that means the fire doesn't spread. I saw a doc where they burned a pig to prove this. Very interesting, I mean. I'm I'm not doubting Chimpanay.
Speaker 1:It sounds like he's done his research.
Speaker 2:But yeah, why would the head burn? Then there's no fat on your head.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know you lost, I don't know you lost such a minute. I don't know.
Speaker 2:I mean obviously it's mainly filled with a brain which is mainly water, or is it like a sort of mucus? But but yeah, I don't know. I'd be surprised why the head burned if that's, if that's the case, um, but yeah, I'd be interested to see the the doc where they burned the pig to prove it. Um, nelson, not sure, not sure what he brackets the man who invented the parachute suit.
Speaker 1:So this is from your video of the guy jumping off the tower I shared that, by the way, on twitter and it got uh done for being x-rated. I did it, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it got done for being x-rated, yeah I'm not sure what he was expecting, throwing himself off a great height with only one of liam gallagher's oversized parkas to slow him down. So I guess that's the reference to the. It looks like a sort of scruffy coat, doesn't it what he's made of?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, just like he's got a massive parka on. You know, right, mate, it's fucking probably Liam Gallagher when no, when, like halfway through it's over and he can't deal with it all anymore yeah, yeah, it's going well.
Speaker 2:Actually, from what I've seen, a bit of a tangent, but yeah, I think Liam's sounding good at the Oasis reunion.
Speaker 1:I can't call actually when he's gone. I think he went to Heaton Parks. He put like his girlfriend got him a surprise and said save the date for that. But he didn't. She didn't tell him what it was and I jokingly said I did look at the gig list and I said what about if it's jazzy jeff at the uh lead social club? He said he'd have enjoyed that as well.
Speaker 2:So you know, maybe next birthday it's jazzy, jeff or oasis, you can't lose no, exactly yeah uh, dave, the hoarder brother story reminded me of the late great Mr Trebus, the Polish hoarder from the series Life of Grime. You know what I vaguely remember that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he sent us a video of it, which I'd not, because I said I ain't got a clue what he's talking about. I haven't seen the video right, ah, yeah, but I don't remember it at all.
Speaker 2:In my head this could be complete nonsense. It probably is. I don't know where I've got this from. He spoke with quite a high voice.
Speaker 1:I don't know if that's, that's like Trans-Arabic. It's not even that big, it's not even that messy.
Speaker 2:No, I don't know, I don't remember. I can kind of picture him, I think, but I think he spoke with a very high-pitched voice, webding. All I remember about spontaneous human combustion is being utterly shit-scared of it. I bought an unexplained mysteries book while we were on holiday in the Norfolk Broads and laid awake thinking at least I'm near water, yes, he could roll from the boat into the Broads if he ended up on fire, as he's on fire.
Speaker 1:Yeah, imagine that as a sigh. Imagine seeing someone running and you're having a relaxing audience off at broads Just looking out your window and seeing someone completely on fire.
Speaker 2:I think what's funny with Webding as well, because he looks like everyone. He's got under-the-light look-alikes.
Speaker 1:And on fire.
Speaker 2:Webding, you could think it was anyone couldn't you?
Speaker 1:Oh my God, it's Johnny Greenwood from Radiohead. He's on fire.
Speaker 2:It's Jackie Chan. Oh my God, he's on fire.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you think it were his movies, like he's doing a stunt, I think it's a film set yeah.
Speaker 2:Hold on. Yeah, yeah, Anyway, yeah, and so we got a message. Have we done that on the previous one? Anyway, this is Andrew. My dad had a book of strange deaths. When I recall the photo not the cause but resulted in a man falling downstairs and landing head first on coconut matting, which left a bloody imprint of the matting on his bald pate. Is that right? I?
Speaker 1:don't know, I don't know Well that's what you've sent me. Yeah, maybe Pate, Pate maybe Pate, pate, but me I don't know.
Speaker 2:Anyway, I think we know what she's getting at Bold. I'm intrigued whether you've written something down there wrong. Hang on a minute.
Speaker 1:Pate Pate it's ground meat and fat mince. Pate Pate it's ground meat and fat mince.
Speaker 2:Pate Is it.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, pate, hang on. What's going on? Pate can mean the top of a person's head. I did not know that.
Speaker 2:I know. So Once again, we've exposed our ignorance.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but there must be other people who didn't know that. I didn't know pâté could be on the top of your head.
Speaker 2:Because pâté is like a French name for your sort of pureed liver yeah. Is it just pate? Where are you getting the pâté from? Because I think in French it's got the mark above the E.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, you're right, it's pate. I've never heard that, then, before. Pate, for pate's sake, anyway.
Speaker 2:Anyway, yeah, absolutely ridiculous. Our review of that Apologies, ange, your comment makes sense. We have no idea what we're talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and now we get to talking about. So there's been an ongoing investigation, is that the right word? So Craig has been keeping us updated with something he's been doing offline. You've obviously not sent me the feed here so I can't remember the full extent of how many times this has been done, but effectively. I think you said Skellington didn't you.
Speaker 2:I always say Skellington instead of Skeleton, and I corrected you and you sort of said, oh yeah, and you doubted yourself. So he's been deliberately using the word Skellington a lot pronouncing it Skellington to his partner to see if she'll pick him up on it.
Speaker 1:And so far. Well, he's given up after about two days. But no, nobody picked her up on it, nobody picked him up on it, and I wonder he had multiple attempts though, didn't he?
Speaker 2:yeah, yeah, yeah and maybe she's a skeleton and doesn't realise well, I wonder whether sometimes there's like a thing where it's like almost like people deliberately mispronounce something as a it's quite endearing, it's their version of something. Jodie's mum can't say lots of words. She says chimney instead of chimney and stuff. But that's just her. Yeah, I mean, the weirdest one is instead of mirror she says mirror, which I've.
Speaker 1:My nan, instead of seven, symmetry, she says symmetry. She always says, well, take me up to symmetry and I'll lay flowers down what symmetry yeah, but I wonder with some of these things, do they know?
Speaker 2:that's not the word, but that's just how they say it?
Speaker 1:I don't know if I've ever said this before on madely, the madely episodes, what are the? The mainly episodes even? But um, my nan used to think that you know, mulligan tire, mulligan tire. I went born when that were out, but my dad told me that she used to think it were bollock in time. What bollock in time? I don't understand it at all. But he says, oh yeah, she's singing all the time. It's like a like a family thing that sometimes comes out.
Speaker 2:She thought it would have been deliberately offensive yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't know. Bollocking Time by Mr Paul McCartney.
Speaker 2:Like Bollocking Time, as if like I don't know Time for being so awful.
Speaker 1:Bollock Bollocking Time. I don't know Time for being so awful. Bollock Bollock in time. I don't know, I don't know. Well, that's what she used to sing.
Speaker 2:I'll get more into this next listeners, one that we do To say we talked about. We can't use too many minutes. We spent a huge amount of time on this episode.
Speaker 1:We've left it too long. This is another thing. We're trying to do one of these out. Last month so we didn't do one of these, but we've just fucked it up because this is going to take like two. We're going to have to pay.
Speaker 2:Anyway, go on If you're still here. Thank you.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Live eight episode. So, Adam, I presume it's Mr Follett, is it yeah?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah, oh, this is brilliant. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Without this pod I'd have gone everyone I know that Gervais did the dance at EarthAid live at Wembley and not live aid and I mean so embarrassed in the afterlife, not an intentional pun, but then he's come back. I found a video for the concert which was done for Diana, which was the EarthAid thing. No, no a week before EarthAid.
Speaker 1:it's a completely different thing you did.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so he does the dance and also the silly little fat man thing. Uh, video subtitle witty, spontaneous, able to introvise, improvise the traits that does not have yeah, yeah, so have you watched the video? I can't say that.
Speaker 1:I have to be honest I don't know well, basically it's a concert with Gareth Keener and he's doing Free Love, free. Love, oh yeah yeah, I have seen that, yeah, yeah, and then there's bits of Time to Kill, so he does the dance and then he does the silly little fat man sort of thing. It's so embarrassing, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2:I mean like the irony of that is that it sold his soul. He soul like doing the silly things. It's the equivalent of what's this thing when the whistle blows, is he having a laugh? He's doing the equivalent of that in real life, and then singing soul is soul for. Patreon yeah, thank you for that. You've headlined this Tufty Club, so did this not come from've headlined this Tufty Club, so did this not come from. This came from the Tufty Club.
Speaker 2:Tufty Club officials. So I think part of the reason Live 8 was so shit is the same reason we keep making excuses not to do rock and goal years for 06 and 07. So they've done. I don't know what years they have done, yeah, so we've been waiting for this for about five years.
Speaker 1:Tufty Club have been teasing for about five years that they were going to do a rock and goal year. They started doing one for I want to say 91, 92. I don't even know if they finished that one. To be completely honest, they might have finished it. It was brilliant and they sort of talked about football alongside music. Basically, nick, the rock and gold years, yeah, with their own twist on it, um, yeah. So I would like sort of yeah, I'll bring that back, bring it back, bring it back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean they've sort of said music was wanked back there. No scenes or movements, charts were all but dead and any good stuff was isolated. Nothing new. Also Razorlight, which I kind of take the point, but there's one song by Razorlight that I really like, which one is it.
Speaker 1:It's not that good. It's not Golden Touch, is it?
Speaker 2:Love me wherever you are. It's quite slow. Anyway, somebody can let us know that. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I think all the more reason to do it. I don't think it matters the music. It helps if it's great, but it might be quite funny if the music isn't great. So I say, do the Rock and Goal years 06, 07, please, guys.
Speaker 1:Yeah, do it.
Speaker 2:Webding like your prayers. Amazing, you daft bastards. It's all right. Kofi annan was famous at the time mainly for bin larden putting a bound, putting a bounty on his head, which is also the reason we had a photo. We had this photo and a fret yeah. So they've got the picture of kofi annan with a bounty chocolate bar on his head in the image that shared. Um, somebody did somebody put something like great things that didn't happen, or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah something along those lines, yeah.
Speaker 2:Finally, in a trilogy of calling you daft bastards, the Killards actually hadn't released and or written half the suggested set list when Live 8 happened.
Speaker 1:I think this is. I don't think that's any excuse. To be honest, I think just because they hadn't written human, they should have still done it, shouldn't they?
Speaker 1:They human, or how we dance. He should have still done it, shouldn't? He would have lifted it. He should have still done it. It's obviously he's in his head somewhere, weren't it? Do you know what I mean? It's like I'm thinking that you imagine if, like he had to do improv and he just thought, like Gervais has to do, like the little he just keeps doing fucking, I don't know. Somebody told me, you, me, you just keep playing that same song. You've got to think. You should have thought ahead.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, believe it or not, we've not scripted any of this.
Speaker 1:This is live we're just doing, it aren't we, yeah, just doing it. I don't think there's any reason why he couldn't have come on stage and at least done when we were young, because it would come out the year after. That's in his head. Yeah, because it would come out the year after that's in his head.
Speaker 2:Yeah, anyway, that's nearly there. A comment from Mark Couldn't believe Liam having a go at Stereophonics. They have a great set of songs. Miles better than Keane. Such a dull band, two songs too many for them. Kofi and Ana's Radio 1 DJ made me laugh. Yeah, you think he. Kofi and Ana's Radio 1 DJ. Yeah, the radio on dj. Yeah, yeah, I mean I kind of get, possibly, in terms of pop hits, stereophonics had more. I just thought keen were a little bit different. I quite liked him. I think stereophonics is like absolute. I mean, now there's ai. I reckon you could, you could, we could write 10 stereophonic songs in the next hour. I reckon.
Speaker 1:yes, I do know you mean, I'm supposed to be seeing them this year. We're going to a festival in France and they're playing. But I do get what you mean. I do like them. They're not one of my favourite bands, but I saw them at Tramlines a few years back and they were really, really, really good.
Speaker 2:to be fair, I absolutely don't dislike Stereophonics at all. I Stereophonics at all. I just think it's just popped by numbers, isn't it? It's just like you want another hit. Yeah, okay, I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to make one up live, because I don't have that talent. I am not AI Berlin Blade again In a club in Berlin last week, as I went to a toilet cubicle as I was doing my line, I sang really loud. I said, and we the girl in the cubicle sang the next line, the guy.
Speaker 1:What did I say? Why would there be a girl in the cubicle, I suppose? But you know what I mean Multicultural.
Speaker 2:Berlin.
Speaker 1:It doesn't have to be Demarvish.
Speaker 2:Multicultural. Yeah, but anyway, the guy in the next cubicle sang the next line. Next guy sang the one after before all the cubicles in union were belted out the chorus um, national treasure you'd not get out with. Uh, fucking keen. Yes, he's slugging off keen as well. Probably. Williams needs to be protected as the institution that he is very, very disappointed that someone in your position, with your platform, would say the things that you did, so you were slagging him off.
Speaker 1:I would defend I didn't really slag him off, I just said, hey, I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that line is awful. I mean, I think he's done some great stuff. That line is indefensible.
Speaker 1:Rock DJ is a brilliant pop song. I think he'd go down amazingly well at Glastonbury in the legend slot but I think I've mentioned this actually in the comments and Berlin said Woutbrey will never have him these days. But I think he might be there next couple of years.
Speaker 2:So I don't want to upset Berlin Blade. I think he's great. Obviously, you've met him a few times, haven't you? Met him once Absolute legend and I don't think he'd make it up. To be honest, I don't think it's his style, but I find that very far-fetched.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to fucking pretend I don't think everyone in a toilet in Berlin would do it in line In Berlin.
Speaker 2:That's like Maybe if you're in Stoke.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, fair play, yeah, berlin, maybe that.
Speaker 2:There's an angel. Maybe that's what happened when the Russians came for it it reminds me very much of a Brooklyn Nine-Nine scene as well, where you get someone to line up and to do go on. What is it? Backstreet Boys song you are my fireball Tell me why, yeah, possibly that's true. I mean, Berlin lives in a world we can only imagine, so it's not impossible.
Speaker 1:It's not impossible. Maybe he thought it happened. Maybe he's not lying.
Speaker 2:Maybe it happens every day in Berlin Blaze, I don't know. But yeah, thanks Berlin Blade. And so I'm getting to believe it or not. Dear listener, I am getting to the end of these comments now, not for you.
Speaker 1:I've got to go to the next ones as well.
Speaker 2:So Gary Andy's Sting impression had me in tears. I don't remember what you did with Sting.
Speaker 1:You don't have to put on the red lights.
Speaker 2:We were letting everything in he does sing in.
Speaker 1:A people might think I'm like I don't know taking the piss or you know, being cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a little bit. I don't think he sings exactly like that, if I'm honest.
Speaker 1:No, he sings exactly like that.
Speaker 2:He is singing, you don't have to put on a red light.
Speaker 1:Yeah, being mad with fucking Sting, not me. He doesn't do it with Chinese accent. Whatever, if that were a radio, people would be going. Oh yeah, sting's on, is he?
Speaker 2:Right, we'll leave it there. Nav. Very educational episode. I had no idea this event took place and that's exactly the vibe we were going for, that, despite this being a sort of cultural event, it's just passed everybody by, even Nav.
Speaker 1:Believe it or not. Even Nav, even, nav, even Nav. So on to the Ronald McDonald episode comments, and I've got something to clear up here Bobby B and Sad Ken, both about the same thing.
Speaker 2:This is your most controversial comment of the day.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So Bobby B said Fucking hell, andrew. So glad within a millisecond you said not for me when talking about Dora the Explorer. Nearly crashed the car. She's supposed to be seven years old. Great recover. And Sad Ken said I crashed the car. She's supposed to be seven years old, great recover. And sad ken said I thought I was done with this podcast when dora the explorer was mentioned amongst the sexiest cartoon characters, but mr beadon got him back on track. Obviously the spooky episode which we'll get to. I was looking at a list of cartoons and I misspoke.
Speaker 2:I saw a picture of daria and said dora the explorer at the time I thought it was odd that you said dora the explorer. I didn't know if I was missing something. I remember her as a probably about 6 or 7 year old character yeah, I know it is, I meant Daria you were sort of quoting a list. I thought at the time, no, I wasn't.
Speaker 1:I was looking at you, were trying to help me out as the officer no that's not how it happened at all, officer. No, I was looking at a list of cartoons without the names right and you just read the wrong name and I made. I said dora the explorer instead of daria.
Speaker 2:Surely that's I don't know.
Speaker 1:Daria is to be honest, so aria's that american cartoon character, isn't she like with the glasses on. That's why I said not for me, not because she's got glasses on, but it was insulting to everybody. But I just said, oh yeah, not for me. Imagine if it was someone I did like, like Jessica Rabbit, and then I go, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, dodged a bullet by chance there.
Speaker 1:You said the wrong thing, daria, even not Daria, daria. He said it again. He said it again.
Speaker 2:Yeah, madness, I mean one thing that. Are you going to get to the top, because it wasn't a comment. You talked to him. Are you going to mention the Tom? What Tom said?
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, I'm going to get to something in a bit. Actually, again, berlin comes up in this and I'll talk about it then. But Ron said Jessica Rabbit was only called Rabbit because she took her husband. You know, obviously she is human, but you do think of her as a rabbit, don't you?
Speaker 2:No, I don't think I do actually. No, oh right.
Speaker 1:Ljd says knowing that the Cadbury's caramel bunite was voiced by, I can't pronounce her name.
Speaker 2:Miriam Margles, margles, margles. Yeah, miriam Margles is it Margles?
Speaker 1:yeah, Makes the memory a little different. Nothing against Miriam, though. Very witty and entertaining personality. Loves a swear and eats raw onions like apples. I didn't know that. I didn't know she did the voice for the fucking sexy Cadbury's rabbit.
Speaker 2:No, it doesn't seem right, does it? But yeah, I don't. You know, we're known for research, but I'm imagining that the research was done to prove that he's right. I research, but I'm imagining. I'm imagining that the research was done to prove that he's right.
Speaker 1:I'm willing to go with it? Yeah, we can't. Obviously this is going along enough so we can't include all the comments, but there were a bit of a discussion about, you know, sexy cartoon characters bill in just piped up with. I like bambi um, which is yeah for a number of reasons, I think is uh, off color, shall we say yeah, I mean, it's not textbook, is it?
Speaker 1:but yeah, okay but talking about our mate Tom, this is the guy who we've got cross wires. Well, I thought he said he fancied Pinocchio and you thought he said he fancied Marla the Lion. I talked to him, marla, I spoke to him at the weekend and he said both. He said he would say Nala as a joke, but he did get confused with Pinocchio.
Speaker 2:He meant to say Pocahontas and he said Pinocchio and then he kind of said Nala as a joke, but people there didn't take it as a joke.
Speaker 1:He says it as a joke. You have to take his word for it.
Speaker 2:I suppose no yeah, it was, was pinocchio, joe, I don't know, only only tom can tell the tale.
Speaker 1:Only something tom can tell us tyrone says the tequila tea catchphrase was that's better, that's tetlis. And he says that's been burned into his brain, that's better, that's tetlis. Yeah nice, yeah glacier. And and there said, where you seem quite mad because he puts like he put a question mark and an explanation mark, after which is like is the sign of anger in it? He says where was the man from del monte or the milk tray man? And jp also mentioned the man from del monte.
Speaker 2:We didn't mention him yeah, as the sort of mass food mascots. Yes, that's a good one. I never even thought of it, if, if I'm honest.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I forgot about the man from Del Monte, the man from Del.
Speaker 2:Monte. He used to come and like try a piece of fruit, didn't he? And then it'd be like, if not, he'd say yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Matt said did we mention the Smash Robots? No, he said did you mention the Hoffmeister bear? Again, two other ones, but we might leave that open for a second part. To be fair On the Ronald McDonald thing, we're obviously going to be initially about Captain Birdseye, and Sam, from the Pinch, gave us the idea for it and he got a lot of kickback, because Eggie says Captain Birdseye a randy pirate? Surely he's just the captain of a fishing boat. And said since when was Captain Birdseye a Randy pirate or a printer of any kind? I think he actually means pirate, wasn't he always just a captain of a ship? He's in a captain's uniform, it's his actual name. Yeah, so, and then Sam said look, I've just found the advert which I remember from the childhood and it's a different one. It's a cartoon character. I don't know how he's got this fucking mixed up, but he's mixed up another advert with a cartoon Randy Pirate with Captain Birdseye and he's put Jesus, memory is a weird thing.
Speaker 2:So the whole episode was based off something that didn't exist.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it didn't exist. Yeah, Unbelievable.
Speaker 2:It's what happens when you're remembering stuff, though Even we get it wrong sometimes.
Speaker 1:Sometimes we stuff, though. Even when you get it wrong, sometimes we're experts. Gary says I absolutely live for the mundane tea conversation. Who remembers tea should be on your radar? Love to do that, but it's obviously still going tea, so you can't really get away with it. I don't like hot drinks? No, you don't. But when we go to Chapel St Leonard's, I think this is the sort of fucking talk that's going to go down. Don't you Like teas and?
Speaker 2:biscuits and shit 100%, Leonard.
Speaker 1:I think this is the sort of fucking talk that's going to go down, don't you Like teasing? Yeah, yeah, teasing and stuff. Yeah yeah, Alex says great pod. I must admit, though, I nearly skipped this episode after reading the title, because I thought it was going to be half an hour of Ronald McDonald, Probably the worst title we've ever done. We made a mistake.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we realised that that's not good like naming it so specifically, I mean particularly when you generated the ai image and made it quite creepy and we thought oh yeah, that's. That's quite funny that. But who remembers ronald mcdonald? Then it says behind him I killed mr wimpy. It looks almost like a sort of true crime documentary, doesn't it like? Yeah, yeah, we got that one behind the curtain.
Speaker 1:It's our lowest views, most lessons of the of the of the new series, uh. So yeah, that backfired. So, alex, thank you for live and learn, confirming what we already thought. Carl says the wimpy and huddersfield was still trading by the mid-naughties, when his uh wife was at uni. He says, like it's like the train, the chain went bust and they just forgot to let that store know nobody told them, they just carried on.
Speaker 2:It's like them, uh, when some guys out in vietnam or something thought world war ii was still carrying on, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a brilliant, yeah, there's a brilliant one in the viz where it said uh, in a dressing room, um, in 1966, uh, this was like in 2004 or whatever.
Speaker 1:They found a north korean player who didn't believe that the game was over. He was still waiting to be called out for the second half. Uh, jane, stacy, stacy. Jane says was it a thing to punch mr wimpy in the nose, or was that just us? At first I thought, well, she's a psychopath, clearly.
Speaker 2:But I I think I might have, because he's got a massive protruding nose on it yeah, didn't he like have you have a burger for a head with like a big nose sticking out of it?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah, massive like was it a burger for a head with, like a big nose sticking out?
Speaker 2:of it, yeah, yeah, massive like Was it a burger for a head? No, maybe not. No, not a burger for a head.
Speaker 1:He had like a big heart, but his eyes were like His nose like, came out Quite a compressed head, weren't it with? A big nose sticking out of the front.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah squashed, squashed head, I don't remember punching his nose, I can probably see why that that might be a thing.
Speaker 1:But if you did punch his nose, smash a like in the comments. Yeah, punch that like button as hard as you punched his nose if you remember, jack says he was an official member of the Burger King's Kids Club and he even had an official membership card, something that I've unfortunately not got.
Speaker 2:I'm just looking at Mr Wimpy now. He doesn't actually have any eyes. His hat comes down that far far. I thought I was going to say he doesn't have any eyes.
Speaker 1:It's like his hat covers his eyes, doesn't it? Yeah, he's just got a nose and a mouth. Nav says Ronald McDonald never made a visit to the McDonald's restaurant that he used to work for, which is sad. But John said Ronald did pay a visit to the McDonald's he used to work for back in the 90s, and it was played by the one and only going lifestyle, peter Simon. This is what I don't get right.
Speaker 2:It blows my mind Art.
Speaker 1:Yes. So he says no one, not even staff, was supposed to know it was going to be him playing Ronald. Apparently he sneaked in the back door and he was allegedly on a gram for two 20-minute meets with kids. And he also says unfortunately, I I'm really genuinely upset about this. He said he was the most up-his-arm-on-arse man he's ever met.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm hoping he just caught him on a bad day, because I do like Peter Simon. I don't get what it means. He's playing him. It's not like where sometimes characters take off the head and there's a celebrity underneath and it's like, oh my god, it was david beckham all along. It's not like you would be watching it and then like think, oh my god, that's, that's peter simon. It. It would just be peter simon dressed as ronald mcdonald that's what I mean.
Speaker 1:So, but they've wasted the money, aren't they really?
Speaker 2:I would rather just see Peter Simon.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just Peter, simon, fuck Ronald McDonald. You don't have to even dress up, just come out and just say all right, everyone all right, or get both, or get someone unknown to do the Ronald McDonald. Hey kids, you're like me. What about Peter Simon that's?
Speaker 2:how it speaks.
Speaker 1:It could happen like that yeah Well talking. It could happen like that. Yeah well talking. Americans actually, chad, says I oddly enough think they stopped all ronald around the same time. Now it's the more friendly purple bastard grimace. I had to look this up, but I do know what he's on about. It's that little purple thing that's the mascot now at mcdonald's I'm going to do some live remembering, just don't point purple bastard grimace because I think he's added the bastard. But yeah, typical.
Speaker 2:Chad yeah. Yeah classic Chad Ronald McDonald. Oh, no, not Ronald McDonald. Ronald McDonald's Grimace Shall. I search that yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's where it is purple, you'll see.
Speaker 2:Yeah, little man, I think I've seen that before, but is that, yeah, what? I think that's the main mascot now. The more friendly, yeah, that's the mascot now. There's pictures of Ronald McDonald and that thing together. No more Hamburglar.
Speaker 1:He's already dead. He's already dead. Right on to the Subutio episode with Mr David Beedon, glace Hernandez says I don't know what's funnier, liam calling Andrew eggy or the fact that Andrew responded to being called eggy. He just says just throw it on the never-ending pipe of monikers for you. So you call me eggy and it sometimes sounds a little bit like I've always known you as eggy since I've met you.
Speaker 2:Your dad calls you eggy, your surname is haig. I've always known Aigie. It is a bit odd that, like I don't know about what, six, seven, eight years ago, whenever I met Aigie, there's now. Aigie and Aigie, and then yeah, they sound quite similar in conversation. So yeah, it was Aigie, but it might sound a lot like Aigie.
Speaker 1:So I think it's confusion. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't think you were eggy. We've cleared up me. You know not fancying a seven year old cartoon character and even, and the worst thing, if you're getting my name wrong, we've cleared both up in this yeah, I did not think I was talking to eggy.
Speaker 2:I knew I was talking to andrew haig and I referred to him as haigy uh, bobby b said dead bite is a top expert guest.
Speaker 1:Agree, um, he says. However, I'm admiring him and shocked in equal measure, as if blacking up Brian Dean with a brown felt tip pen wasn't enough Taking advantage of his dad's MS to win a game, for fuck's sake. So yeah, two controversial things there from.
Speaker 2:Dead Bart. He showed a dark side to his character, didn't he? Yeah?
Speaker 1:answer for him. I'm not going to answer for him and he's also said some things, bobby b, which I didn't have a chance to put onto this thing, but I'm going to look at the videos after yeah, they've come in not literally yeah but it's about the alternative striker game where you have to press long neck.
Speaker 2:Someone else mentioned it as well yeah, there's a couple of versions when we push someone's head down and they do a kick and he's mentioned a magnetic game. But yeah, I mean to be fair to deb as well, by the way, like he was sort of worried after recording he talked too much that that was the perfect blueprint for any guests who want to come on. He knew his stuff, he led it well. I think the I know he got a little bit stick for the sort of blacking up of his players, but I think the fact that he was so desperate for agana and dean up front yeah, absolutely you know, completely the opposite to this is three.
Speaker 1:The most controversial it's not the most controversial episode, like it feels like we haven't had many controversy. We've got three huge topics here that we're having to. Well, no, yours is not really, you just got someone's name.
Speaker 1:It's not really up there with yeah, racism and pedophilia cancel culture, yeah uh phil said he remember uh, I just remember the goals that have been repaired that many times the posts were about three times the size of they were when you first got them. And he said exactly the same with the stick that controlled the goalkeeper they were very breakable, weren't they?
Speaker 2:I mean, like the nets, particularly obviously Dead Bart, his dad made him metal nets, we revealed, but the flimsy ones, yeah, you only had to sort of nudge them and they'd break.
Speaker 1:So yeah, yeah I could kind of see that yeah cappy said no idea how, but he had stickers that were meant for sticking on lampposts to stop people leaving dog shit everywhere. That said no fouling, but he cut them out and stuck them all around the green fences of his Sabutio set-up. So you know, inventive, creative.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So what is he talking to the players then? Now fouling?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I presume so. Yeah, Now fouling on my pitch from Kape. I'm over thinking that. I think you're looking too way too deep into this. He's one of the people playing isn't he?
Speaker 2:Is he telling himself don't foul? I don't know.
Speaker 1:Cap you let us know. Are you talking to yourself? Imagine he were about eight when he were doing this, although I don't know why he's got loads of stickers saying no fouling Like why were it his job?
Speaker 2:to go around sticking these stickers in places. I mean, I just think, obviously like watching real football, you don't want loads of fouls, but I don't think I've ever seen a no fouling board.
Speaker 1:I'm more interested to see how he's got so many no fouling stickers in the first place. There must have been a lot of dog dog shit they said we know the man who's going to fucking stick these around.
Speaker 1:He's wasted on his Sabutio set. He loves the booty. I was a kid. He was gutted when his mum got rid of it all just because he'd moved out many years previously. Erm, yeah, I mean, my mum got rid of my NME collection as I was living with her. Like it just came out when I said, oh, I don't know, blah, blah, blah, I don't know. Probably about six months later I said, oh, where's my NME? I threw them. They're worth about fucking £4 now, all of them.
Speaker 2:Your 442s are still going strong now, aren't they?
Speaker 1:442s are still there. Well, yeah, now I mean I'm a bit of a hoarder, like them brothers. Actually I've got fucking shit all over the place. I'm just looking around now.
Speaker 2:If you want a 442 magazine from mid-'90s or an On Goals and Gaffs video from the same year.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've still got the bedroom is like a. It's like a museum for that sort of stuff. Isn't it absolutely all over anyway? Ron said he enjoyed that um dead bat spitting knowledge niche some may say so. Sorry niche, some may say nerdy, but still knowledgeable says he's nearly 15. He missed the sabutio heyday. He was shit, though never really had anyone to play with and set it up was a massive ball lake. Did enjoy the size of the novelty trophies, though we obviously touched on that with a massive Trophies were bigger than the players.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, which I don't know if that's still in the modern era, I don't know if that's still, because you can imagine now I'm almost doing like real to scale like the podium and the sponsor boards behind and the trophies. I'm guessing they might have gone less novelty and more realistic now, but I don't know that.
Speaker 1:Top Boy said he used to have a mate who played to boot here and for big games he put on a suit and got a decent bottle of red to share with the opposition manager. I love the fire.
Speaker 2:I love that that's so like sort of British, that eccentricity we mentioned. My mate Furness used to put on a suit with a tie for Champions League final and yeah stuff like that is absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 1:Your mate Furness well, I make my mate Furness as well, but obviously you knew him before I did. He obviously used to. He used to do his own chants as well, didn't he? For players yeah oh, in fact can I just tell another before. But yeah, we'll do the chat thing where you want to do the Legwinski chant, because that one's I don't know if that's the first one that came to mind. Yeah, I just keep my mind on it.
Speaker 2:He's a leg-leg-legwinski, a leg-leg-legwinski.
Speaker 1:Who's a legger? He's a legger, leg-leg-legwinski. Yeah, he used to be a commentator, didn't he? When he was younger.
Speaker 2:And he is good.
Speaker 1:He knows his stuff, very, very knowledgeable man. So we're going to send a tape off to RTV, I think, to show off this is when he was really young to show off his commentary expertise and he was that busy, like looking at his book of stats or whatever he missed.
Speaker 2:And he'd seen the game before. That's what was great. And he'd seen it before On a second watching of the game he was reading through his notes and stats Missed the goal, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, missed the goal. Oh, and I seem to have missed the equaliser there. Imagine that Chango Motley and David both said why didn't we mention the Undertone's?
Speaker 2:My Perfect Cousin which is you've never heard of them, have you no? Well, I don't know oh yeah, no, I've talked to you about it since. No, no, I think I have now, but I hadn't at the time that they've commented that. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because obviously the line is you used to beat me as a booty. I've not made anything like that. I took a flick, he took a flick and I didn't know. It's better than that. Anyway, craig said this is the last comment lookalike. Listening to the pod brought loads of memories of football-related games. When he was a kid. One football game he had was for the original Game Boy. He said he can't remember what it was called because he was already young.
Speaker 2:Ah, this is brilliant this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he said the gameplay wasn't great.
Speaker 2:He said I didn't realise, realized after a long time that I wasn't actually selecting myself as a player to start the game, so he was just playing computer versus computer, pressing all the buttons and thinking it was spectating on a game.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the playability on this is really poor. The funniest part of the story is that he realized that he wasn't in control of the players before his dad started playing too, so they must have spent a year before he figured out that they were both just watching the computer play itself that's the equivalent like giving a toddler a PlayStation controller when a real-life game is on and saying you're in control of these people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is what he did eventually realise. He didn't tell his dad and on weekends they'd go round to his house and he'd always say don't forget to bring the Game Boy. So he carried it on for another year thinking if he were playing, and year thinking if he were playing, and just it wasn't. He was just watching him pressing buttons. And he still doesn't know the truth to this day. My dad used to. When we used to go to arcades and stuff, when I were, I would say, abroad, when we were like at skegness or whatever I it took me about two years to realize he said all right, come on, play this, shoot them all. You got another gun and he won't put a pounding for me.
Speaker 1:Yeah your gun won't do anything yeah, and I just be everything, but this is another fucking level from Craig. Fantastic stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, I kind of think it's funny, even if it happened for a day or a week. I think, the period of time to not realise is absolutely brilliant. To keep thinking like that, it's not that responsive. This is it.
Speaker 1:You're just watching a game Shit, I went right then. I mean, sometimes we do that when we play games, everyone does it. You're like you do a crap shot.
Speaker 2:You said yeah, there's no way, no way.
Speaker 1:Imagine that all time Interesting Same. What the fuck Getting new joypads. Maxi thinks he broke Crazy, unbelievable. Thank you for all those comments more than that, but we obviously, as I said, we're trying to keep the fucking episode length down. We've not done a very good job. Yeah, we've done a terrible job on that. Yeah, Terrible job. Longest episode is this yeah, but thank you for I think what we said. Just to go right back to the start if Give us your feckin' money.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if you would be kind of tempted with something a bit different, a bit more than this, give us a heads up. You can do it discreetly, you don't have to do it in full public view. And also, like I said I think I said this back at the time, I'm not sure if I said the full point but if we ever did anything behind the paywall and you really wanted it and you'd be part of this journey, but you couldn't afford it, that's fine. We'd find a way of giving people access who kind of still want to be part of it. But it's a little bit of a stretch at that period of time.
Speaker 1:I don't think you should call it a journey, Liam. To be honest, it's not really been a journey.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I feel quite sort of weary by it all, do you not?
Speaker 1:Yeah, fucking sign off. We're all fucking pissed off and bored about it all.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know what you mean. It's been a long time, hasn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 1:like eight hours to Cornwall Fucking like oh for fuck's sake.
Speaker 2:But yeah, that may be something that happens, it may be something that doesn't, but we will keep with the Tuesday episodes. We will keep doing listening feedback. Try not to leave it as long as this one, because then you get this ridiculously long rambling it, this ridiculously long rambling. It's not even about anything, is it no?
Speaker 1:no, it's our worst episodes as well, because we just got to say but we do want to read people out comments out, because there's some amazing comments and stuff, so let us know. If anyone's asked at all about us you know doing some more stuff, then let us know. And until then we'll see you Tuesday which I can't remember what but it's between two, isn't it? They're both in the bag. One of them is music related.
Speaker 1:Another one is muscle bound hunk related so either way you're in for a treat yeah, they'll be the next two anyway, so thank you both. Listening requests as well.
