WHO REMEMBERS? The UK Nostalgia Podcast
Listener's Feedback 17/08/25
Dive into the whimsical world of listener feedback as we navigate a surprising legal victory, mysterious celebrity lookalike contests, and the curious case of our own Twitter handle.
The saga of Berlin Blade takes center stage as we celebrate not just his court victory securing access to his beloved dog, but also examine the evidence supporting his infamous Robbie Williams toilet sing-along story. Was it real or imagined? The truth might lie somewhere in between, and we're here for every bizarre detail.
Meanwhile, Stockport has been mysteriously plastered with flyers advertising a Richard Madeley lookalike contest that has both locals and our listeners baffled. Who's behind this peculiar event? Will anyone actually show up? The mystery deepens as we discuss the BBC's coverage of this unexpected cultural phenomenon.
Our previous episodes spark rich discussions about Two-Tone music (where we learn our skepticism about cover bands was wildly misplaced), retro football games with their hilariously bad commentary, and whether Hulk Hogan was ever truly as famous as Michael Jackson. Throughout it all, we embrace our contradictory identity as "professional rememberers" who frequently forget crucial details - including the plot of Total Recall while discussing memory loss.
Whether you're here for the nostalgic reminiscing, the gentle ribbing between hosts, or simply to hear grown men debate the finer points of 90s video game soundtracks, this feedback episode showcases the community we've built around shared memories - both accurate and delightfully mangled.
The very first draw in Britain's new national lottery. Sinclair believe they're C5, Britain's first mass-produced electrical car.
Speaker 2:And something called the internet.
Speaker 1:Stop shocking, thank you, 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, you can't win airs in the kids Pac-Man, one of the superstar video games in the business.
Speaker 2:Do you think it's threatened the world really?
Speaker 1:The fool became a fool again. Remember when it's the lowest form of conversation. This is history. This is history Right here, right now.
Speaker 2:this is history. Hello and welcome to the podcast. Who Remembers this is a listener feedback episode.
Speaker 1:Yeah, big time. Sorry, I thought you were going to carry on talking. You sounded like yeah, actually we were going through it late. Well, theme tune went in there, so no, no, no, we don't do a theme tune before we do the thing on.
Speaker 2:On a list of feedback yeah, so ruined. I don't know what else I could have said. Yeah, I was just waiting for the, I was waiting for music, but okay, it's already been well, we may as well do it.
Speaker 1:Then let's carry on. Um, yeah, you sound a little bit like uh, the iss commentary we'll get on to later. Hello and welcome to a big kick of the. This is the podcast podcast who remembers, who remembers? So this is where we go through your comments, obviously, and there's no. Well, we have to start with this. Building Blade sent a message saying I'm not happy at all with the certain recent libelous accusations leveled at me on an international podcast platform, but I've provided undeniable proof of my innocence and look forward to a formal and an official apology from the Whore Remembers podcast, which I will accept or deny, depending For context. Listen to their most recent listener feedback episode. If you can stomach my name being dragged through the mud, if that's something you're okay with, that's when the begging starts. They'll come to me and say oh, berlin Blade, you were right all along, you were the right man for this feedback, you are the best man for this feedback, and I'll be like yeah, sure how much money you got, because this is going to cost you.
Speaker 2:This is going to cost you.
Speaker 1:We've got to tread carefully, because he's had a court case win this week, hasn't he Genuinely, jokes aside fucking delighted for Berlin Blade, his dog port case. It sounds like a joke, but I'm genuinely.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, yeah, yeah, I felt really pleased for him, yeah.
Speaker 1:Proper. This entire episode can be dedicated to Berlin Blade. Really happy for him Get his dog back.
Speaker 2:Access to his dog back for Berlin Blade. Yeah, Genuinely, we're both dog owners, both animal lovers, Not in that way. We just like animals. But yeah, no 100%. Before we get into it, I don't know where we're going to end up on this apology. I don't know if we're going to, if it's going to be a climb down or a stand by.
Speaker 1:Berlin Blade said that he once sat in a toilet in Berlin and started singing I sit away, there's an angel. And then the guy next to him in the cubicle started carrying on the song. What was the next lyrics? Contemplate my and it went all round the toilet and I was very dismissive of this. He has provided evidence. He said well, he's got someone else to get in touch with us with a message. Yeah, he said it. He sent his um. He's got someone else to get in touch with us with um, so is it?
Speaker 2:the message screenshot, aren't they? Or did they actually get in touch direct?
Speaker 1:but well, they put a message as well, yeah, saying look, this did happen you know.
Speaker 2:so to me, the backup story is, whilst high on some kind of substance they both remember this but Presumptuous but yeah. No, I think that's what they've said, haven't they? I think they've said in the message, in the screenshot yeah, we were a bit off our heads, but yeah, this happened.
Speaker 1:Right, so this is interesting, though I was going to issue a full and frank apology, no, so what I'll?
Speaker 2:say is I think the main thing is that I think Berlin Blade didn't like that. We accused him of making up the story. I absolutely do not believe Berlin Blade is a liar. I've had the privilege of meeting him only once, but, great guy, I believe he thinks this happened, and I'm not saying it didn't, but I'm saying that two guys, slightly high on whatever they've taken possibly, just sang the song back to each other and thought that there was a room full of people singing it.
Speaker 1:I don't know that.
Speaker 2:That seems more likely to me that in Germany. I don't know, maybe there is a huge Robbie Williams following over there.
Speaker 1:Well, the guy who messages actually did say you do know, don't you, that Rob Willinger's bigger in Germany than Britain?
Speaker 2:Ah, so okay. So that's adding weight to the Like you say. What I'm absolutely not saying is this is a. This is what does he say the guy? This didn't happen, it's a made-up story.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this one was invented by a writer.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't think this was invented by a writer. I think this event occurred in Berlin, blade and his mate's mind. This happened. I think it's 50-50 real world. Did it happen or not? But it is real to them. I don't mind. Either way. It doesn't make me think any more or less of him. We're dealing with a sort of legend.
Speaker 1:A genius of our time, aren't we? He's a genius. He definitely is a genius, so I'm happy to put this as a judge, I think we have to apologize, by the way, for any accusations of him lying.
Speaker 2:I do not think he lied. No, no.
Speaker 1:I said at the time that I didn't think you were lying. I said I thought that maybe he thought that had happened. But I suppose you're sort of doubling down on that sort of Well, no, I'm just doubling down on the possibility.
Speaker 2:I think what we were doubting is that in the world of Berlin Blade, everything it's a bit like a kind of cartoon like that. Anything is possible. Anything may or may not have happened during the course of his day, but he believes it all happened and I'm happy to believe it with him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let's draw a line under it. He might not be happy with this, because it's not really an apology, but I don't. No, we're all sorry if he thought we said he was lying.
Speaker 2:That's what I will stand by.
Speaker 1:No, he's not a liar. He's not a liar, um, and genuine, in all seriousness. I'm like obviously taking the piss here, but I really, really am happy that he won his uh dog court case, which again sounds mad, but I know that like meant a lot to him and I'm proper happy for him for that. Justice for berlin blade. Yeah, justice for berlin blade. Loads of people sent us in pictures of the richard madeley lookalike contest in stockport which is tomorrow, which we should probably have gone to. That I mean, we could still, I suppose.
Speaker 2:You say that I don't know if this is just my lack of social media awareness. You've not seen this.
Speaker 1:No, no, are you being fucking serious again really.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've not seen it, I've not seen it.
Speaker 1:Most of us are like I don't know, we've had about seven or eight people, in excess of seven people, have told us about this. Honestly, we've had about seven people messaging this.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's a lookalike contest of Richard Madeley in Stockport tomorrow. True, that's a fact, that's a joke. Do you have any sort of connection to that?
Speaker 1:No, no, no, that's not a joke. I can't remember the place now, but it's in Stockport. Tomorrow there's a.
Speaker 2:Richard Mayer the lookalike contest. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what to say. Yeah, Do you want to go?
Speaker 1:Is it too late? Well, I'm not going to win, am I you might?
Speaker 2:You've got a full head of air. Yeah, to take part. I just went to spectate, really. Well, if anyone does go to this, I'm probably not going to bother now, to be honest.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, but if anyone does go to this, then please let us know. Honestly, just take part.
Speaker 2:No, I didn't, Genuinely. I'm looking it up now. I don't even know if you're winding me up yet. Richard, you made it lookike. Contest flyers baffle Stockport locals the mystery behind a series of flyers. Oh right, so is it actually real then?
Speaker 1:We should have gone and filmed it. I'm reading this from the BBC.
Speaker 2:Mystery behind a series of flyers advertising Richard Maylou lookalike contests has caused a stir across the greater Manchester borough. Handprinted posters about the competition have been placed across Stockport and become the subject of speculation across social media, with prizes on offer for the top three lookalikes. They take place 11 o'clock on the 17th of August in Stockport's Alexandra Park. According to the flyers, no one saw we put them up. Obviously, as soon as we saw it we were really excited Is it real.
Speaker 1:Is it real? Well, we'll see tomorrow.
Speaker 2:If anyone goes, let us know yeah yeah, yeah, please do, let us know.
Speaker 1:please do, let us know. Cappy said that I've been watching Alan Posh's Mid-Morning Matters and he can't help notice the similarities between that theme tune and this theme tune. I can't and I've not done any of the research because we, off the top of my head, think about the Midmorning Matters theme tune. No, I can think of the da-da-da-da-da.
Speaker 2:I'll think of this. As I'm Alan Partridge, I can think of the theme tune to that. I can't think of. Yeah, so we've not got the talk into it.
Speaker 1:but if anyone else thinks that we've sort of nicked, it's not deliberately based on that, is it?
Speaker 2:I'll see you in court, yeah well, obviously you came up with a melody, but I didn't. I have watched Moon Morning Matters and I didn't notice any.
Speaker 1:Yeah, unconscious borrowing. Chris said I don't know if I'm late. I don't know if I'm late to the party, but did you know? Your Twitter handle reads Hall Members Pod. And that was followed up by Bulma who said honestly, who calls themselves Hall Members Pod? But did you know? Your Twitter handle reads whole members pod. And that was followed up by Bulma, who said honestly, who calls themselves whole members pod? And Adam said oh my God, are you aware that your Twitter handles read who remembers spod? He said not only that is terrible grammar, but spod is not a real word. So he's taking the piss, he's taking the piss out of the who remembers spod?
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's taking the piss out of the other one Now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but there's no grammar in that. So if you choose to not put the S on the end, that's up to you. You can't say that's not wrong. In the same way, who remembers pod or whore members pod?
Speaker 1:You're sick of the piss though, out of the people who keep saying whore members pod.
Speaker 2:Ah right, I thought it was going in on us. Come on, Sorry about that.
Speaker 1:No, no no, so only Chris's Bulma. Is he a bottle of cider? I can't believe.
Speaker 2:Bulma's a bottle of cider. Who do you think he is and who's the other?
Speaker 1:one, chris Chris Packham. Chris Chris Packham, yeah.
Speaker 2:He's got the same name as Chris Packham.
Speaker 1:Yeah, right, so we knew what we were doing. We knew what we were doing when we did this.
Speaker 2:We're not is but surgeons, aren't we in this industry? It was precision, we know what we're doing on this.
Speaker 1:We knew that that sounds we and we thought it added to the comedy and the um.
Speaker 2:We actually thought what it might get is people saying, sharing it, saying can you believe this? They've called it whole members, or what did he say?
Speaker 1:they've walked straight into it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the trap was set, welcome to the welcome to the game on this episode.
Speaker 1:I love this. Simon said um bitcoin to boot. You know, the two greatest investments of the 21st century. So, based on your advice, well, obviously we're talking about with deb bat. Uh, he says I've gone all in and all the official referee set which recorded it, which includes a vile screen yeah, I love that, why would you? Why it's gonna fall. It's obviously not going to do anything like the far screen.
Speaker 2:I love the idea, though, that you're filming it live and you have a referee that takes the video that seriously that you can go back on a digital recording and review a decision Brilliant. Yeah, I love the concept behind it.
Speaker 1:He also said he has purchased a new set for my son. He's put that in quotation marks. He said he couldn. I purchased a new set for my son. He's put that in um in quotation marks. He said I couldn't be less. He couldn't be less impressed his son.
Speaker 2:he said it's likely to remain unopened at the back of the cupboard, which is a shame, but you know it might be worth millions in a few years yeah, but I get why these days like, unless you're kind of into your retro stuff, which tends to be slightly older people, young kids it's not not enough going on is there to attract the attention of young kids. I do understand that.
Speaker 1:LJD said, by the Sega Mega Drive killed his suburbia all day. He said he had a game called European Club Soccer that he thinks featured six English clubs, but one of them were Rotherham, which is like what mad.
Speaker 2:I think, is that not the game? Did I say European Club?
Speaker 1:You might be. Yeah, we were talking about that game, but I certainly don't remember Rotherham being there. The game was developed by a Rotherham-based company. I love, like man Utd, liverpool, tottenham, arsenal, rotherham.
Speaker 2:By the way, I was listening to Goldbridge today and he said something about who's come up with man United's marketing strategy. I would say the Chuckle Brothers, but one of them's dead.
Speaker 1:Fucking hell. Well, the best thing about Goldbridge everyone hates Goldbridge. Well, I say everyone hates Goldbridge. It's unbelievable how to say it. He's got that many patrons. People like when they've got patrons and stuff. By the way, thank you genuinely for the people who have actually messaged and said like you would pay for Patreon.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it is something we're probably going to do and if no one signs up to it we'll just speak to ourselves. But obviously people who get patrons, they're normally really really sort of delighted that you've signed up. Thank you so much for this. Goldbridge is just like oh, fuck off you prat We've had a super chat.
Speaker 2:We've had a super chat. We've had a super chat. Yeah. Well, I tell you what you prat listen here. Just because you've done a super chat does not mean I'm going to agree with that. You're a complete moron. Maybe you need to listen somewhere else. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Absolutely amazing. On the Two-Tone episode. Right, these are very the format of one of us bringing the subject to the other's attention, which obviously you didn't know much about. Two Tone he loves the Two Tone UK score story. What are the? Did I say scorey then I don't know.
Speaker 2:I've had a few beers.
Speaker 1:I've been out.
Speaker 2:I've had two and a half gin and tonics.
Speaker 1:I'm on my fifth beer now. So if there's slurring words and what?
Speaker 2:have you. It's a Saturday, isn't it? It's a.
Speaker 1:Saturday. It's a Saturday. It's a Saturday. United have lost again. So you know you've got to get pissed. But he says One of the great musical movements that bird hard and fast like grunge've got loads more music chat lined up. If you're up to me, there's probably a music podcast. As you know, liam, I'm always putting forward music.
Speaker 2:You've sort of been a bit of a music tutor for me. I think You're really into your music. Yeah, I really like that one. I presume you're going to get to the comment, but are we going to get to the bit? Because I think I said something quite wrong at the end of the episode. Is that coming up in a comment?
Speaker 1:I can't remember, I don't know. We'll see when we get to it. Bobby B, you obviously asked for the episode of Two Tone?
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, this might be it then because it's Bobby B who said it.
Speaker 1:He said no need for an expert guess Andrew's knowledge of Two Tone and the history of us, but just saying what a superb job that I'm doing. Basically he said glad you've been enlightened, Liam, totally with the two-tone cover bands, the two-tone cover bands that you said.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I sort of wrongly said this feels like an era where people just liked it in the moment and a cover band wouldn't work. And obviously what Bobby B was telling us is that he's still involved with cover bands of this era. Yeah, so literally.
Speaker 1:It's brilliant, though the guy who asked for it is in a two-tone cover band and he said I can't see anyone being yeah, I can't really see it working.
Speaker 2:Not only does it still exist, but they're doing really well. Yes, I just got the whole thing wrong, didn't I?
Speaker 1:He named his favourite two-tone songs, which are Gangsters, which are missing words, by selector missing. I want to do renditions of all these, by the way. Uh, missing words, missing words. A man at cna, which is a brilliant song, warning, warning nuclear attack. There's more to it than that, but that's, you've sort of general gist isn't it?
Speaker 1:that's the gist. Ljd said the two-tone film that came out the time dance craze with the soundtrack, um, with with a couple of live numbers by each band, was absolutely fucking brilliant. It says the film's on YouTube. I have searched this out and I've bought my own to watch later. His favourite two-tone songs are all special songs, actually Special's Little Bitch, blank, impression, do Nothing and hey Little Rich Girl, which had a saxophone, from Lee from Madness, I know you're not as you said. You admit you're a sort of novice when it comes to two-tone stuff.
Speaker 2:No, I might watch that, though, I did find it quite interesting.
Speaker 1:No, no, but those songs are all fantastic. First tour off the first album and hey Little Rich Girl's a brilliant hey little rich girl, where did you go? Anyway, I could be singing all night, but that's for the Chapel Settlers Roadshow. Shango Mutley said got flashbacks to our secondary school Friday night discos which were two-tone, when two-tone was all the range and everywhere. Like Harrington Jackets and Farrah Slacks, he vividly remembers Ghost Town. Too Much, too Young, baggy Trousers, mirror in the Bathroom and they put Fatay. And then he's put who remembers school discos? Yep, I do. Yep, I do. Yeah, we might do that. I think it is on the list actually, isn't it to do school discos?
Speaker 2:Yeah, with a tuck shop.
Speaker 1:Do you have a tuck shop? I don't think we had a tuck shop.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we had a tuck shop at our school disco. Yeah, save that for another episode. Sweets, panda pops drinks. You could stick a straw through the top like a foil top.
Speaker 1:Some.
Speaker 2:Capris, not sure, not sure I'd have to get the memory gears going again.
Speaker 1:Zach Kent said this time is worth a mention BBC documentary. He said Ghost Town is the obvious choice as a great piece of social commentary. Classic Gangsters again. Another shout for that. And he also loves Hurt, so Good. I know you'll like this song and you've never heard it. I should have said it to you before this by Susan Caragon.
Speaker 2:I think when we finish, send me that.
Speaker 1:It's such a good song, don't you know that you hurt so good? It's not strictly too tough, but it's a fucking brilliant song, even by the name and your weak version of it.
Speaker 2:I suspect I will like that.
Speaker 1:Oh, you trade on my heart and you tell me when you're in the street.
Speaker 2:It's better than that.
Speaker 1:I'm less convinced but I still want to listen. Nick says his favourite Tuto song Lip Up Fatty. It's not a Tuto song, but it's another Scar song. Lip Up Fatty, Lip Up Fatty, Fatty, Reggae, Reggae. You must have heard that one.
Speaker 2:Maybe Don't know.
Speaker 1:Are you taking the fucking piss? This is mad.
Speaker 2:Imagine if I sat here and said I'm going to absolutely piss out of me and pretend I don't remember it.
Speaker 1:Lip up fatty, lip up fatty, fatty.
Speaker 2:Reggae, reggae yeah it sounds familiar, but I can't sort of say yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, I know that one.
Speaker 1:Webding said, thoroughly enjoy the analysis of the first two tone. Number one, where android which is me doing an excellent impression of elton john, doing an impression of a jamaican man doing an impression of terry hall. You've done too much, much too young. I don't think there's much elton in there, though no, I don't know how you get that.
Speaker 2:You've done too much, much too. No, you've done too much, much too young.
Speaker 1:That's like Liam Gallagher. I don't know where that came from. He's got a really distinctive voice. Elton, like he Americanises things.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So he'll let go. I don't know You've done too. I can't do it.
Speaker 2:Too much Seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind.
Speaker 1:I guess that's why the anyway Trey on the Hulk Hogan episode said Hulk Hogan, trailblazer, I can't fucking speak, I've had too many drinks. Hulk Hogan can't speak, trailblazer icon, but a pretty shitty person and also an unbelievable liar, one of the best in the business, he says. My thoughts are with the who remembers pod at this time. It's interesting this because I with all kogan now he's dead and I think this happens a lot like when bands split up and things like that as well, where now he's dead I I'm like fucking hell.
Speaker 2:He were amazing, hulk Hogan Not as a man, but as a character A bit more fondly. Yeah, you're like.
Speaker 1:Jesus. But Carl said can he chuck Thunder in Paradise into the ring? Not sure he got mentioned on the Hogan episode, which is a film which obviously I've never seen. I've seen it?
Speaker 2:yeah, it's brilliant. Is he good in it? He's brilliant, yeah, yeah, is he good in it? He's Hulk Hogan in it. I don't think he can do anything else, can he?
Speaker 1:What are you saying? That doesn't work for me, brother and stuff.
Speaker 2:Something about on a speedboat and he's like he's sort of trying to catch a bad guy. But he's just Hulk Hogan. He's not doing any. I don't know what I'm saying. He's not acting. Let's go get him, man. There's a brilliant piece of acting where there's one.
Speaker 1:I can't remember what happens, but it wakes up. I think it's in the Undertaker's crypt. He wakes up and goes where am I? What's going on? There's no Hulkamaniacs in here. That'd be your third thing.
Speaker 2:I've seen that somewhere in one of the group chats. Yeah, brilliant.
Speaker 1:There's no Hulkamaniacs in here, isn't that being?
Speaker 2:your third thought. There's no Hulkamaniacs in here. Where am I? What's?
Speaker 1:going on. There's no Hulkamaniacs in here. Glacier Hernandez said more famous than Michael Jackson and put a laughing emoji. Obviously, if people don't know, glacier Hernandez is the biggest Michael Jackson fan of all time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we dared to speculate, there might era when he was bigger than Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1:I've mentioned this to a couple of other people. Since we've done the pod, they're on our side about you know. Yeah, I think Hulk Hogan was as famous as Michael Jackson. He sounds mad as I'm saying it.
Speaker 2:I think we said bigger though, didn't we?
Speaker 1:Yeah or famous.
Speaker 2:Michael Jackson? I don't know, I don't know, let us know.
Speaker 1:Glacier Landers, genuinely, was Michael Jackson famous in, like Korea, asia? Do you know what I mean? South America? I don't know. He might have been. He probably will have been, because I reckon Hulk Hogan obviously used to wrestle in these areas. So I don't know. Arnie versus Sly Phil, who's obviously. We've just dropped a bonus podcast about his stripy sheets.
Speaker 1:Yeah, thanks for that, we've got an extra argumentative episode out of that one. Yeah, yeah, he said proper, proper. Enjoyed this one. The arnie sly one, um arnie for me on most of the rounds, but take the points made on sly, can't believe missed out the uh classic, get to the chopper from predator, never seen it. Yeah, I presume you know what he's talking about get to the chopper yeah, yeah, that's how he's written it, to be fair, literally like that.
Speaker 1:To be honest, it's almost like you've done an AI sort of read that line out.
Speaker 2:I used to have an Atari ST game Predator. That was the worst. You were dropped in my helicopter and then you kind of ran across the screen for a bit and whatever you did, the Predator's sort of it's like a sort of three, it's like a target made up of three symbols that just get you. Whatever you did, I don't think I ever lasted more than about a minute on the game.
Speaker 1:There's nothing worse than a game that you paid £25 for.
Speaker 1:I've told you before I don't think I've mentioned it on here where my cousin would run a driving game in an arcade. You know what I'm going to say here. The steering wheel wouldn't go to the right so we kept crashing and all the time the computer would get a move on jerk, get a move on jerk. Get a move on jerk. Every time he crashed and he punched the screen. He's not like an aggressive man at all, like really lost his cool. Uh, get a move on jerk, get a move on jerk, get a move on jerk. It's so fucking, must be so annoying. Um, he said for future episodes. I'm reading reading this out normally when people ask him for episodes, I'll just put it on the list. But I can't do this because I've never seen any of them. He said we're about a three-way concept of Airwolf versus Street Hulk versus Knight Rider. I've never seen an episode of any of them, so I can't do it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've seen Knight Rider. We've done an episode about it, or you at least know of it.
Speaker 1:I've done another theme tune. Ah right, yeah, we did a theme tunes episode.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm thinking of. So you've never seen an episode of Knight Rider.
Speaker 1:Never seen an episode of Knight Rider Airwolf I've certainly watched, not as much as Knight Rider, but yeah, street Hawks, street Hawks. I don't know that.
Speaker 2:I've never heard of Street Hawks no, the theme tune to Airwolf was fantastic as well. I mean Knight Rider's absolute elite level theme tune. But yeah, airwolf is not far behind it.
Speaker 1:Deadbat said, as always, came from the knowledge, left without any but, most importantly, made him laugh. So two comments stood out. One of them well, one of them is yours, saying I would say we're normally not bad at impressions, and then following it up by saying I don't think I can do a Russian accent. That might be my weakness. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1:Normally we've got all bases covered but I don't think either of us can do Russian well, I don't know, in the last episode of Crises I think you did a really really good Russian impression passable passable.
Speaker 2:But I think like if me and you were cornered by the impressions police and accents police, whatever they want to call themselves, we can get through most things. I think Russian we might get found out on.
Speaker 1:That's fair. Chip Manet said I actually know less than I did before listening to this podcast. Yeah, I love that we can actually leave you with less than I did before after listening to this podcast. We can actually leave you with less than you started with he said, by the way, that clip back about, uh, jackie salones we were talking about, yeah, jackie, obviously be brilliant, apparently, he says. She said yeah, bracky. And he said I imagine there's many theories to why.
Speaker 2:Yeah bracky, I don't think she knows who she is, what she was saying.
Speaker 1:She's not sure anymore, she's dead.
Speaker 2:No, in the moment I don't mean now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, brekkie, brekkie, jackie Imagine that like yeah, brekkie, adam said I never expected an Arnie impression to sound more like Ella To tune, which is my do not drink, I'm big. Like so lancashire, like broad, do not drink, I'm big uh, probably he said um, another good one, guys. Uh, the first home. He says, and I'll take his word for this. That was the first whole members episode. Uh, mention of dyspraxia? He said that I was there. I haven't mentioned it as much, have we? We actually my.
Speaker 2:No, that was a sort of running theme that obviously you have a disability, a major disability, and we've not made we don't like to make a big thing of it anyway, do we? But obviously it's not. No, I don't like to talk about it. It's really, it's a huge part of your life, but it's not come up too much in this series. I suppose Massive, I'm sure it will.
Speaker 1:This could derail the podcast and I don't think we should actually go into it, because he said he also crossed his mind. When we talk about who the funniest is, Arnie and Sly, why don't we do one me and you, who's the funniest? And get Tufty Club to host it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I'm trying to think how you'd score it. You sound like.
Speaker 1:Brent, he's more of impressions man, yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I think we've sort of found we've fallen into a rhythm where I think you might win that, because we've sort of said you've become the Mike Parry and I've become the Mike.
Speaker 1:Graham, which is unintentional, by the way. I didn't set out to become Mike Parry, you'd bloody love to be Mike Parry. I would love to be Mike Parry. Oh, you'd bloody love to be Mike Parry, out of the team. I would love to be Mike.
Speaker 2:Parry, we actually said in retrospect we could have called this, not the Two Mikes.
Speaker 1:Not the.
Speaker 2:Two Mikes, yeah, what else did we say?
Speaker 1:Imagine if you would have to do like a massive right-wing podcast after this. Like what? Are they coming over here. Look at the boats over here.
Speaker 2:Well, I've got. I don't know how you'd score that. I think that's a very difficult one. Is it last per minute? Is that what's going on? I don't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, maybe maybe, maybe, just like in general. I mean honestly, genuinely like if Tuff to Club are going to judge this. We want categories. Quick word impressions.
Speaker 2:Well, we've already agreed to doing like a sort of mini Olympics versus more so Dead Bart than Webster. Yeah, olympics versus More so.
Speaker 1:Dead Bart than Webster. Dead Bart's massively up for this, like Tufty Club versus who Remembers Olympics, you're very confident, aren't you, In the explosive events.
Speaker 2:So the sprints, the jumps, not the distance events.
Speaker 1:I think they've got us on that. He's a good runner. Anyway, darren Smith who I don't believe listens to this podcast and people who are Sheffield United fans will know exactly who I mean when I say Darren Smith Randomly just responding to the Sly vs Arnie episode and said they were both of their time. I wouldn't watch any of their films now they brought the action to the big screen back in the 80s. For me, sly was better. Rocky, first Blood, cliffhanger were top notch films and Escape to Victory, if you want to laugh, I should mention. By the way, I said I'd not seen any Arnie films. Sorry, sly films other than the Rocket. I have seen Escape to Victory. I completely forgot that I'd seen that film.
Speaker 2:Football. Don't you want to watch football?
Speaker 1:40, 40, 40. He said Arnie had terminated, but the rest were just vehicles for the big fella with a funny accent having a bit of sci-fi silliness happen around him and later to be a comedy stooge with his one joke.
Speaker 2:It's quite funny. Is it for a? True action hero Jason Statham yeah, I mean yeah, for a sort of modern action hero? Yeah, absolutely, but I take his point. I do think, though, that arnie kind of got the sort of self-deprecating humor towards the end of it. I think he realized he was the joke, but it wasn't. Yeah, playing a comedic actor, but yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1:I don't imagine a slide film. And every, every one of you went yeah, brekkie, unbelievable.
Speaker 2:And said um as much as I like arnie's films, I wouldn't necessarily watch them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, bracky, yeah Bracky Unbelievable. Ant said as much as I like Arnie's films, I wouldn't necessarily watch them if they were on. Watched Rocky III the other night as it was on and it was flicking through the channels and it was really, really as good as it was first time. He says.
Speaker 2:Yeah, rocky III and Rocky IV are very watchable. Which one's, rocky III?
Speaker 1:Club Lying Mr T, Mr T, Mr T and four is He-Man A pitiful. A pitiful, yeah, number four is Dolph Lundgren.
Speaker 2:They're the best two for me. They're the most watchable on repeat. I think number two is possibly the best film. I really like number five, tommy the Machine Gun. It's quite cheesy but I do quite like that one. I think one is it's very is it's a bit slow.
Speaker 1:I kind of see it for the piece of art that it was at the time it set the franchise going, but it is quite slow in hindsight, wrote it in three days and, as you know, I'm a massive exaggerator and I think the longer this podcast goes on, I will start saying that he wrote it in 24 hours, and then eight hours and then maybe like an hour he wrote it whilst listening to Wonderwall. Right over to William.
Speaker 2:Right retro football games. So, as usual, you've sent me the comments. As usual, I've not pre-read them, so apologies if I Professionals yeah, we are professional rememberers. So a message from Craig Webding reminded me of Guy Gomer in this pod, brought in as if Hang on you know who Guy Gomer is, don't you? No, I don't. The name sounds familiar.
Speaker 1:No, we talked about him, the worst interviewer. You know, that guy who went on to talk about something and they asked him about the Middle East or whatever.
Speaker 2:The black guy Just fudging it.
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, guy, yeah, yeah, um, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Um, yeah, he went in for a job interview and ended up talking that's it sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah, wait for a normal job interview, like as a I don't know fucking working in admin or whatever.
Speaker 2:Yeah webbing thought he was applying for a new job, didn't he? And we put him on the spot with the video games? Yeah, brought in as a retro football video games. It was his specialist subject, and yet he seems to have the same level of insight as Roy and Leroy. I love that. He's implying that we know nothing. He's surprised he didn't know anything because he knew the same as us. Yeah, absolutely spot on. So you're genuinely confused as to why he'd been drafted in Brilliant stuff. Yeah, I think. Well, I mean, it's happening again. History repeats. I thought I'd had too many drinks before that recording. I thought in the edit I sounded quite drunk. My only excuse is Webding pushed it back a little bit, so I had an extra drink.
Speaker 1:I didn't think you did. There's no excuse for this. I have had too many drinks. I've just held my sixth.
Speaker 2:Can imagine that imagine that on the so you wouldn't get that with Ray.
Speaker 1:You probably would get that with race clubs actually well, it wouldn't tell you about it.
Speaker 2:But yeah, you might anyway, a comment from eggy. This just made me want to play peter shilton's handball maradona yeah, still a crazy name. Yeah, maradona yeah, weird, weird, incredible name for a for a football game. Obviously you two remember that I'd never played it.
Speaker 1:Chris has sent us some old ISS commentary clips, yeah, so I don't know if you listen to these yeah, they're about 12, so one of my favourite things is when they say things like it's a good attack for Portugal or like bad news for Wales they're on the back foot, belgium, yeah yeah yeah, incredible.
Speaker 2:I mean, I sort of remember it fondly for that bad commentary, I think. I think it. There was a period after that where it was much better, but it was much duller. It was a lot of like. It's like like now people record Slowly building.
Speaker 1:I sound like Mike Parry Younger people than me, younger people than us, obviously record like Alan Smith on FIFA going oh, it's only 40 minutes in and it's still 0-0. It's only 30 minutes in Nowhere near as funny as like Wales are in the defence.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I mean, I don't know. I remember it fondly for that reason, but it was some incredible. I mean as well, I don't know why they chose to get like a really over american by over american. I suppose I'm just saying an american, but it was like a shouting american to do commentary on it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, do you remember like there were a bit of a glitch in the game? I mean, I meant to mention this in the episode where the ball would go missing? This only ever happened once, when me and Brendan were playing.
Speaker 2:Actually, they said where's the ball?
Speaker 1:Where is the ball Over and over?
Speaker 2:I don't know if that ever happened or if I just read that it could happen. But, yeah, I know that as a thing. Yeah, dead Bart. Hate the tired old football cliches. This kind of play is giving football a bad name and wins the game due to the expulsion rule.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're always like. This kind of football gives football a bad name. What would be the expulsion rule? I presume I don't know what that means. I don't know what that means. They win the game due to the expulsion rule. Was it like?
Speaker 2:Golden Goal or what. I don't know what that means. I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1:They win the game due to the expulsion rule. Was it like?
Speaker 2:Golden Goal or what I don't know. Possibly, yeah, it could be that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Interested to know what that was. Sam, first football game I played, loved and sessioned endless was ISS Pro on the PS1. I remember all the bits of commentary so clearly. Pronunciation of Nigeria and Scorchio the highlights. Scorchio, the highlights.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so like Scorchio, like when they scored and stuff.
Speaker 2:Scorchio, I don't remember that. I think of that as a fast show. Also, every pass sounds like a gunshot. Yeah, it was like a.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like that yeah.
Speaker 2:Berlin Blade. I assume that yeah, yeah. Berlin Blade, I assume obviously now he's a friend of the show. You've just called him Berlin. You've not even called him Berlin Blade, but Berlin.
Speaker 1:It's not a band of Berlin. We're on first-name terms now. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Berlin. I would have thought that you may have mentioned Pro Evo's Master League, with the squad you get given at the start featuring Castolo start featuring castolo.
Speaker 1:Can you remember the master league?
Speaker 2:I don't know if you actually had this game, did you? I didn't have it because it was. I had it on the snares and I think I misremembered that I had it on the ps1. I think I had it on snares and not the playstation no, I think this you might be right.
Speaker 1:Actually I can't. I didn't have this, but me and brendan, our mate, used to play um the master league and you start with loads shit players like the worst players in the game and every time you got a point or you win a game, you get more money and you can buy real players.
Speaker 2:I do remember that. I don't know which version of it I played, but yeah, I do remember. I mean it kind of became the what was it now? The FIFA? It's not even FIFA now, is it? I don't know, it's not the journey. Call it. What is it now? The FIFA? What the FIFA? It's not even FIFA now, is it?
Speaker 1:But what do they call it? I don't know.
Speaker 2:It's not the journey, is it People open?
Speaker 1:packets and shit which I don't really get Like. Do you know what?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I bought a packet for FIFA Buy players now Like yes, I've got.
Speaker 1:Ronaldo yes.
Speaker 2:I don't really know, John. Love this one, lads. I still remember playing Football Manager and Emlyn Hughes on the C64. I was also unfortunate to own Pele. Pele, we were calling it, weren't we on a Mega Drive? Can't believe the great Matt. So I presume either you or he has missed on that he misspelled this can't believe the great man lent his name to such a terrible game. For me, PS2 era, Pro Evos. Yeah, I mean, I think that's when we were going to Damon's on Pro Evo on the PS2. Sounds like he's famous.
Speaker 1:Damon, damon Albarn, me and you, noel Gallagher, whatever, Greg Coulson.
Speaker 2:Obviously that's the era that I remember, like people sort of going to sit outside to calm down and like real sort of heated arguments and yeah, that I probably agree. I do think that was probably the pinnacle not my favorite game, but that that sort of period of time over a couple of years they were probably the most playable. I would say yeah, I agree yeah uh, comment from ian sensible world soccer. Sensible world of soccer was outstanding late 90s, early 2000s.
Speaker 1:Champ manager 2, which I think we mentioned two people have asked us since, by the way, to expand, do a champ man episode. We've had two requests for champ man now, which we will do. We don't want to do it too close to the football retro games, but we will do a deeper dive into it.
Speaker 2:Fifa wrote a world cup. However, it was horse shit. Brilliant there games, but we will go deep and dive into it. Fifa Road to World Cup, however, was horseshit.
Speaker 1:Brilliant this because obviously I mean, not everyone who listens to this are Sheffield United fans or anything like that, but I don't think we've got one Wednesday fan listening or something like that. But my Welcome, yeah, welcome. Our notifications were full after this comment of people with Chancery out. But my our, yeah, welcome. Our notifications were like full after this comment of people with Chancery out, like sort of atheists, like what have I said now? What have I done? Yeah, I've had a few drinks, what have I said? And it were all people saying Ian was talking shit about FIFA out of the World Cup and they were all well, not all Wednesday fans, but, yeah, a bit of a debate going on.
Speaker 2:Is that because Wednesday played some part? Is there a Wednesday connection?
Speaker 1:No, no, no. To be fair obviously I haven't gone back to it. I disagree with Ian. I remember at the time that FIFA Road to the World Cup were fucking unbelievable and I think a lot of people were saying that. It just so happened to be. I thought we were the same person, but there were about four or five different people sitting.
Speaker 2:I'm guessing that was only international teams, but I don't know, yeah, yeah, yeah right. Neil the in. Jokes on Sensible Soccer were great. The one that sticks out is the team sheet for John Beck's Cambridge United, who were the hoofball team of the day. The keeper, scott Barrett, plays 2-9. All named Longball larry, number 10. Dion dublin, number 11.
Speaker 1:Long ball larry again yeah, yeah, really renowned for the long ball. That's brilliant.
Speaker 2:I didn't know that to be fair, but yeah, fantastic uh, bobby b, I forgot how good the theme tune is for cannon fodder. Almost like panchero singing with his deep jamaican roots man yeah, so obviously cannon fodder were both made.
Speaker 1:I should have brought this up at the time. Obviously Sensible Software made Cannon Fodder and Sensible Soccer and they obviously had the same figures.
Speaker 2:I don't think I knew that at the time, but it makes absolute, complete sense.
Speaker 1:Yeah and both of them. By the way, and I'm so disappointed in myself that we didn't talk about the theme tune for Sensible Soccer, which is I still don't know the words You're a goal-scoring superstar hero and I think it is. You let your hair down every time. It can't be that.
Speaker 2:You're a goal-scoring. Yeah, you've sent me this. I've listened to it multiple times. You let your hair down, now you're in line, and then he goes.
Speaker 1:you're a goal-scoring, superstar hero, and every goal, goal, goal says you're the best in the land Brilliant, whereas Cannon Fodder obviously is. War Never been so much fun, war Never been so much fun, brilliant Probably the best ever game.
Speaker 2:Massive sort of moment of remembering for me, cannon Fodder, I'd completely forgotten that game, but yeah.
Speaker 1:I loved it.
Speaker 2:What a game cannon fodder yeah coming from matt c64 game, micro pros soccer was made by sensible yeah, forerunner of sensible world of soccer. It also had an indoor sixer side option. That was great too. Have you tried mario strikers charged on the wii?
Speaker 1:no, I did have a w briefly, but I've not played that no.
Speaker 2:I've not Best game ISS or the Pro Evo with John Terry on the cover for the Xbox 360?.
Speaker 1:I'd gone by then.
Speaker 2:I didn't have an Xbox so I can't really I don't know if we might be too old for it by then. I don't know we might have hung up the boots by then. I mean, I'm thinking with John Terry on the cover, though I'm thinking we would have been playing it then.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I mean, I think it's one of those where we went to people's house. We've got no Pro Evo. Yeah, you don't look at cover. You know what I mean. Just play it, don't you?
Speaker 2:Hold on just before you put it on. Show me the cover, please.
Speaker 1:It's John Terry.
Speaker 2:right about bang with Damon Haddish they're like little weird things, didn't they like?
Speaker 1:no, you don't ask for the cover you don't ask for it, you don't ask to see it. You don't ask to see it once a guy came.
Speaker 2:He wasn't a regular member of playing, but he came to make up the six or the eight and he brought I don't know let's say, 12 cans, and he drank nine. So he went to get the three out out the fridge to take him home and Damon went mad, didn't he? You do not do a take-home, you don't do it.
Speaker 1:He's a take-home. He's done a take-home. You're a human. You've come to my house and you've done a take-home because you took too many beers home yeah, but yeah the John Terry thing. Like I say, there should be another one with Wayne Bridge. John Terry would have sold more. It would have been John Terra. If you could put any person on your game. You've created a game, obviously not in terms of what you think of Salmouse, but who would you want on the cover of your football game?
Speaker 2:Well, my favourite player is Roy Keane, so, but I don't know if I would want that. I don't know. I'm a big Rooney fan. Yeah, I don't mind John Terry as a footballer. I like what he stood for.
Speaker 1:You like what he stood for.
Speaker 2:That's a bad thing to say no, not off the pitch, I'm just saying leadership on the pitch.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm going to say this going back to the 80s that you dig in about like oh, what did you say about Anton Ferdinand again?
Speaker 2:yeah, oh, yeah, I thought about that. Yeah, I like the leaders in football, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know somebody like an understated kind of star and again the Sheffield United sort of roots are shining through here but maybe like an Alan Kelly or something like that.
Speaker 1:I didn't know, Alan Kelly was your fucking cover star Dennis Irwin like an understated yeah, that's what I'd have liked.
Speaker 2:Buy the game if you want to. Don't worry about it if you don't. Comment from Simon Boring. Isn't it Just staying in pretending to be a football manager? Not for me. I like it. Wet the whistle with LMA manager. He's promoted by renowned managers such as Gary Lineker and Alan Hansen.
Speaker 1:Before progressing to the top-shelf champ manager. Yeah, alan Hansen and Gary Lineker were on there. Lma manager, I think is a really underrated manager game for a PlayStation as well.
Speaker 2:I don't know if I ever played it.
Speaker 1:Oh, they were really good. The best thing about it wasn't the best thing, because after a while it lost its charm, but they did FA. Cup draws, oh right.
Speaker 2:What's LMA stand for?
Speaker 1:League Manager of South Asia. Well, what the managers win every year, do you know what? The League Manager of South Asia? When Chris Wilder Again sorry to go about Geoffrey, but the Chris Wilder rant when he ran about I've won LMA Manager of the Year.
Speaker 2:I don't think he's on about Is that when he ran about him eating a sandwich?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't think he's on about. Is that when he ran about him eating a sandwich? Yeah, I don't think he's on about fucking this game he ran about, I've won.
Speaker 2:I've won leagues on LMA Manager.
Speaker 1:I wonder, if that was, that'd be such a good round for a football manager, he's eating a sandwich. It was like Imagine a football manager had not achieved anything. I've won on LMA Manager at year right and you try and fucking do that.
Speaker 2:Andy, any game by Dino Dini, kick-off two on the Amiga was a favourite. Does that mean anything to you?
Speaker 1:Dino Dini. He did loads of really good football games. Then they did a. He'd left, but they did a game in his name and it was fucking dog shit and he wasn't even involved in it. So he's renowned as being brilliant programmer. And it was fucking dog shit and he wasn't even involved in it. So he's renowned as being a brilliant programme or whatever it is. But yeah, the game Dino did is awful.
Speaker 2:So again, andy says you could set a win to Strong and score 40-yard banana worldies great times in the early 90s. Then there's Kenny Dalglish's soccer match the worst football game ever made. Keepers were basically outfield players in a white top. Kenny Dalglish would pop up at half-time with words of wisdom. Actually, this piece of advice might have been useful at Wembley in 75 minutes. I take it to the back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he sent a screenshot saying Is this one about us at Wembley, no no, no, no, yeah, possibly. But you've talked about Kenny Dalglish's soccer before Soccer match before and he sent us a screenshot of Kenny Dalglish saying no, no, no, no, no, yeah, possibly. But you've talked about Kenny Douglas' soccer before soccer match before and he said there's a screenshot of Kenny Douglas saying don't take it easy, lads.
Speaker 2:Half time that were it the team talk. Don't take it easy, lads. Where's he from? He's a Scottish man, isn't he? Don't take it easy, lads. Don't take it easy.
Speaker 1:Very good, very good.
Speaker 2:No, not really, Alex. Italian 90 on a Mega Drive was my first. The game consisted of three sounds Goal, shhh For a slide tackle and a drum sound as you ran with the ball. The trick was to run off centre to goal and shoot diagonally from outside the box. Goal every time, yeah we mentioned that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Horrible sort of sporting element of games where you could A horrible sort of sporting element of games where you could A known outcome from a certain point, which is terrible really. Nelson Roberto Baggio. Magical Kicks was an online game I was obsessed with when it came out that is probably the best title of a game. Roberto Baggio Magical Kicks.
Speaker 1:That is obviously been programmed by someone who's never played football in their entire life.
Speaker 2:Sensi is the go. I always knew it was Sensi, sensi soccer, but Sensi.
Speaker 1:No, sensi, yeah, Sensi, sensi or Swass? I thought yeah.
Speaker 2:Sensi is the go. An early champ manager is hard to look past for playability, really like the Champman Italia. They brought us loads of new coverage from Channel 4 Football, so, yeah, that must have been a tie into the go. On, who's the cool guy that we've talked about before? John Richardson?
Speaker 1:Yeah, On a tangent on the Mailer podcast we did Football Italia. But it's amazing now in hindsight I went to Tramlines and I've done the same. I bought a kit from that era. So many people had kits on or shirts on from that early 90s Italian football because you couldn't get English football on terrestrial TV so you watched AC Milan, inter, florentina and those kits stick with you.
Speaker 2:I'm sat now in an.
Speaker 1:Italian 1994 shirt because at that moment in time that was the fucking coolest sort of thing of all time Italian football.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I like the AC Milan. I think of that era.
Speaker 1:Well, I thought it was a good episode, but I don't want to do it yet. It's best kits of the past, but we'll put that in the back burner.
Speaker 2:Now there was a game called John Barnes European Football. That was based on the 92 European Championship and got made before Yugoslavia was replaced by Denmark. Players celebrated by running around the athletics track yeah, I remember that. John Barnes, european Football.
Speaker 1:John Barnes by this point as well, 92, but like getting booed by England fans as well.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I don't remember the game. I do remember the that makes me think of Italian football as well Running tracks around the outside of the pitches.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like I said, I've been to a couple of Italian football games the last couple of years and I love it. I love the atmosphere. It's miles better than English games and stuff.
Speaker 2:But that running track, which is weird, doesn't it, because that makes you feel quite distant from the pitch.
Speaker 1:Presumably, yeah, yeah, yeah, completely. And it is hard Like I don't like that, I don't like when, like teams score, I mean obviously they do run to the fans but you almost like have to do like a 400 metres run to get to the fans.
Speaker 2:Sally Gunnell Crises episode. So most recent one we've put out as it stands, adam. Ha-ha as it stands, adam. Haha, fair fucks chaps. Very enjoyable special when Andrew said when the planes hit 9-11, which presumably you, you just sort of wrong turn of phrase there Mangled my words.
Speaker 1:Yeah, adam obviously asked for the episode Cuban Missile Crisis.
Speaker 2:Oh, is it, Mr Follett? Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Also boring answer. But although people joke about the Millennium Bug, the reason it was all fine was because billions worth of dollars were put in place in preventative measures.
Speaker 1:I didn't know that.
Speaker 2:No, I mean, I suppose it makes sense.
Speaker 1:It makes sense, of course it does. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So is he saying, without those billions of dollars it would have been a thing we would?
Speaker 1:have gone back in time. Yeah, we would have Without that.
Speaker 2:What did we think We'd have gone back? Was it 100 years or 1,000?
Speaker 1:years. What would you do? The first thing you'd do, let's say, oh my God, I'm back in the 80s. What am I going to do? I think the obvious thing to do is just put some bets on Back to the future theory. But we all, as professional rememberers, we can remember every winner of the league or whatever. Do you know what I mean? Or whatever's going to happen?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know if that's true, but I know what you mean. Doubting yourself but is this then? So it's going to loop? It's not like a new version. You're not on a new timeline.
Speaker 1:No, in my thing. Yeah, you've gone back in time If we didn't spend billions of dollars on the Millennium Bug.
Speaker 2:We all go back in time, but we all remember it.
Speaker 1:Why don't you do that in Quantum Leap, thinking about it? Obviously, it doesn't work in every episode but there must be episodes.
Speaker 2:Well, everyone goes back in time.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no, no. But in Quantum Leap, oh boy, Sam Beckett. Oh my God, this woman's going bust. I don't know how many times that's been an episode. To be fair, I'm sort of I'm thinking as I'm going here Just put a bet on Liverpool to win the fucking 1992 FA Cup, Just got the money.
Speaker 2:But I don't know if that's an episode. Imagine if that were an episode. He was going mad when he saw money on his little calculator.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no. You just changed the fucking timeline man. Yeah, you changed the timeline. They won it Brilliant. No, what a shit series that would be If everyone came back to see People's Money Troubles. It's just him having bets. Well, that's what he should do.
Speaker 2:Bottom Leap is just the theme tune. Is just him like progressively getting more and more gold jewellery on?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah yeah, you would do that. You would do that. Surely you'd do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but he's there to fix a moral problem, isn't he? He's not there to win big Most moral problems can be fixed by money.
Speaker 1:That's what I've learned in my 40 years of this earth.
Speaker 2:Yeah, go on Bobby V. Brilliant, not finished it yet. Yeah, we knew we considered taking it out, so after the AIDS party. So I Unbelievable I said we were late to the party on the AIDS crisis, which is a horrible turn of phrase. We considered removing it but because it was genuine, just bad wording, we left it in. But, yeah, redeemed himself with an accurate, detailed description of CFC and its ozone damage, then turns to Andrew for support and says is that correct? Again, I don't know, was the response.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I don't have the foggiest.
Speaker 1:I think as well like.
Speaker 2:What is the Living With Mabley, who remembers whole members pod? So yeah it was a good summary. Even in moments where we think we know what we're talking about, we doubt ourselves and then we quickly admit we don't know. By the way, isn't it something we used to do on liverman made? Is we we? We spent a lot more time editing it and it was quite frustrating for me, whereas what we try to do this is in theory. This is a a live radio show type recording where we can't go back.
Speaker 1:We did discuss whether we should take out my sam beckett should go into your body saying this guy here, he said, relates to the party about AIDS. You need to sort it, sam, oh boy, oh boy. It's mad though that you said like we thought about editing it. Think about the stuff that people must think that we do edit. If you've left that in, yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, in theory, it's pretty much live. The only edit is that now we've had to switch on to uh zoom from skype. We have to do two, four, so there's generally a. You might notice it. We might be too clever for you, but there is sometimes a cut in the middle. But other than that, this is the recording you're listening to. But yeah, we did. We did say afterwards uh, that doesn't sound very good, um, but yeah, just just, these things will happen roll with the punches, uh, nick chef's kiss.
Speaker 2:Of this episode was the hilarious irony of liam hosting a remembering pod and being unable to remember the name of a film called total recall, while stating it was about a bloke who lost his memory oh, I put this in the wrong place.
Speaker 1:To be fair, this was about Arne versus.
Speaker 2:Sly Sorry, yeah, that's my fault. Yeah, I mean, this is what it is. I think people are starting to realise that the expert rememberers that we claim to be is not always necessarily true, I think that's harsh.
Speaker 1:We are good rememberers. We just don't put any effort into remembering.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think we've got base-level remembering knowledge, but yeah, we don't. What we're not going to do is pretend to remember things we don't remember, as you'll have heard in the bonus episode and last one last comment You've made it, you've got there, if you're still with us, from Ange ang. It's not often you get to hear people fondly recollecting the cuban missile crisis and a comedy nostalgia podcast, especially when they weren't born until a good 20 years later. Good fun, it's crazy. A podcast about remembering things that happened years before we were born, that we didn't even really remember much about anyway, even hearing about it. Yeah, it's a strange one, but I think we got away with it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and look the next one we're going to do. Obviously, we don't normally talk about the next episode, but it's in the can, it's in the bag. We're doing Working Men's Clubs. And the guy who asked for it I was out with today and I said, oh yeah, we've done that. And he said, yeah, don't put my name to it. Uh, all right, um, yeah. He said, uh, yeah, it was just as it was only a suggestion. So, but we're doing working men's clubs next. You weren't one of my favorites.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, see what you think, give it a listen. But I again, can I just shock you, I didn't remember working men's clubs as much as I thought I remembered working men's clubs. So this, this I thought I remembered working men's clubs. This can happen With live remembering there sometimes can be no memories.
Speaker 1:But that's it. Thank you genuinely for all the comments. There's loads and it's brilliant because we used to have to do these once every two months and stuff, just to get all the comments in for an hour or whatever, getting fucking loads and we've lost the load out. There's loads of people talking about particularly games and stuff. There's a lot of back and forth and conversations about it. Really really do appreciate, or I?
Speaker 2:feel like one of those. Yeah, if you sent us something, you know, if you sent us something we've missed which is just great episode, you're going to have to live with that. If you've sent us something like sort of witty or a bit cleverer than that that we've missed, just resend it and say what you're playing at.
Speaker 1:Or just keep putting great episode, great episode, great episode, great episode. Like if you keep putting it and again, like if people are like leaving us reviews or whatever on Spotify and Apple, you do go to the top of the pile. Hence the cuban missile.
Speaker 2:The harder you smash that like button with your forehead, the higher up the it's like a. What are those?
Speaker 1:what's those games you know, like the, the punching machine? Yeah, like you punch it, get a number.
Speaker 2:Yeah we can see how hard you used your head to hit the smash, the light, yeah, so the harder, that is, the the higher up the table of suggestions you will be yeah, so thank you for that genuinely brilliant all the comments and stuff.
Speaker 1:And thank you, liam, for saving saving my Saturday night because, again you know, we both watched. Well, we haven't watched it, but our team has lost tonight and it could be really depressing and there's going to be a lot of everyone like who's listening to this. I think Major Charles' team drew 3-3 with Boreham Wood, carlisle, which is that can't be nice.
Speaker 2:Another loss for Wrexham today.
Speaker 1:Another loss. Yeah, if you're a Wrexham fan, you know what I mean. And everyone's thinking oh God, Tough times. There's more to life. Remember the good times, Remember the good times. Remember the good times, Remember the bad times. That's what I'm advocating.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just remember it. Who remembers? All members remember things.
