Transcript

Roadshow Setup And Dedication

SPEAKER_04 0:41

Hello, welcome to Who Remembers Live from Chapel St. Lennon as we're on the road show. We're gonna go through your comments, aren't we? We were gonna do a YouTube video, but it's tell them how bad weather isn't it? It's appalling, it's absolutely appalling.

SPEAKER_10 0:55

And yeah, I mean, to start with, for those concerned, we're here safe and sound. Yeah. We've just had to pay to get into one of the emptiest bars I've ever been in. Members only night. Members only night is genuinely more staffed than customers. Yes, it's actually crazy, isn't it? Yeah, we paid it, we paid the pri we paid the price. We paid the price.

SPEAKER_04 1:16

Got got obviously got here um rocked by the news of Hayacin Bouquet passing away. One of our Trisha Routledge, so this is a bit of a dedication to uh and Mickey Pierce. And also Mickey. I don't really know his real name actually. But we are gonna go through some of your comments, so I'll just get on with this, Liam, and then we're gonna make a start, yeah. This is gonna be broken up, it's it's haphazard as always. We're in a pub right now, as you can probably tell eight nobody's on the in the back.

SPEAKER_10 1:42

That's not one of us doing karaoke, yeah, but you will hear some interspersed karaoke hits as we go, so yeah, we'll make a start.

Pop Icons Debate And Listener Banter

SPEAKER_04 1:50

And we've got shitloads to get through because we didn't do it, listeners' feedback for about nine episodes. But I want to start with Guy Surinander sent as a clip from Michael Jackson Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson being mobbed in Japan, uh, you know, because we were saying was Hulk Hogan, and um he said like case closed, so yeah, you're having the hot level. Straight to the defence of Michael Jacko. He said it were Michael Jackson day in uh Japan, and yeah.

SPEAKER_10 2:13

I mean, realistically, yeah, I wouldn't dispute Jackson worldwide is bigger than Hulk Hogan. We were just questioning whether there was there was a moment we weren't saying who is bigger.

SPEAKER_04 2:23

I'd like to ask Western Anders if he's listening. Is there anybody he thinks is bigger than Michael Jackson ever?

SPEAKER_10 2:31

Yeah, no, I don't think there would be. No. Is there anyone you think is bigger? There's a global icon. Uh Elvis?

SPEAKER_04 2:38

Elvis is Elvis is up there, isn't it? Erke Jaguin. Mickey Pierce. Mickey Pierce. No, I think I think Elvis and Draco are probably the two, aren't they? I mean, the Beatles as a as a collection. I don't think there is like iconic uh what's the word? Like the imagery. Bob Marler? Yeah, we're talking about pop culture, like pop icon or don't have to be singers, but he normally is singers, isn't it? Marilyn Monroe. Was it bigger? Don't know. Let us know in the comments, smash a like. Um on the last Listeners episode, I used a picture of me and you. I think it's the only picture I've got of us two, actually. You know the one in the Beer Festival from about six years ago. Um so I used that as the cover photo for the last. I'm like sort of doing a few Johnny Vault, sort of. Oh yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah. And that said, is that Ricky Wilson of the Kaiser Chiefs with the sh uh with the Shandeg with Max Brannon? But I once saw Max Brannick get genuinely get compared to a baked bean, so I'm I'm happy about that. But that's that's another one though, isn't it?

SPEAKER_10 3:51

Max Brannick. Well I have I don't know whether that follows on from someone who's listened, but I a girl once genuinely thought I was the Kaiser Chiefs.

SPEAKER_04 3:58

And I mean that as well. She was like, it is you, innit? Yeah. And you were like, no, and then you said yeah, and then yeah. One of your crap things, your pulling teddy is all look alike.

SPEAKER_10 4:08

Yeah, but that I I didn't want to I didn't want to mislead her on that occasion. I I just said no, I'm not. I genuinely I'm not, but she wouldn't have it, she was saying to you guys. Does he have to just say he's not?

SPEAKER_04 4:19

Yeah, she genuinely did think it were you. I've never had that with Davidson. I've at times thought you might be Jim Davidson. You once hacked into my Facebook account, I don't know if you remember this. I don't know, you're you must have got my password for some reason, but and to be fair, it could have been a lot worse. All your put is the time has come to admit that I am actually Jim Davidson. I've been living a double life. I am Jim Davidson. How many messages did you get saying that? I knew it. I knew it. Er last feedback episode, Cappy said the Berlin Blade stuff. This is where we accused Berlin Blade of being a liar and then he proved his innocence. He said it sounds like the final conversation conversation before everyone agrees that there needs to be an intervention. What for for Berlin Blade? He didn't say. Collective breakdown, yeah. Uh saw a picture of Berlin Blade today as a recording, actually, and he looks like he's having a bloody good time tonight, to be fair. Yeah, he's a he's a cracking ladder, he's he's loving life, and good luck to him. Good luck to him. Carl said, I'm not sure anyone else caught this, but football Italia with John Richardson would have been quite as it wouldn't have been quite as entertaining. Obviously, we both said football Italy with John Richardson.

SPEAKER_10 5:28

Oh yeah, John Richardson's the uh recently split up in a squeaky voice. Is that John Richardson? Yeah. Lucy something, Lucy Beaumont.

SPEAKER_04 5:35

Lucy Beaumont, yeah, mate the major said as well uh you've done a good job, actually. He says he appreciates the moment of respect in today's episode about his uh Carlisle's crippling result against Borham Wood, uh, and also thinking that John Richardson used to present football Italy. I think it it wouldn't be as good, but it'd be watchable. You can't you can't beat Chimbo, uh to be fair. Um on the lottery episode from Wayback, we've got a comment. Uh Darren said, loving these. I bought a lottery ticket last week after catching up on that episode. I put in a yellow book near my phone and I won. Just to be fair, it was just a bonus ticket which I've not been able to get yet, but it could be the one when I do. Keeps the dream alive. So we've inspired someone to win the lottery. Yeah, we're changing lives daily, aren't we? Every single day we're changing people's lives, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 6:20

Uh just another example, some just you know giving, just give. Yeah, that's all we do.

SPEAKER_04 6:25

Uh on the stripey sheets, we've got loads of uh Spotify comments for this, which I've not written down because I forgot. So thanks for all those, but I forgot. With this, we've probably had one of our lowest listen to episodes, but probably the most feedback that we got. Uh Blade Ow's Dem said, Finally got round to listening to this, and it's by far your best work. Not only was it the perfect length uh for how long it took me to hoover the house, but Liam getting increasingly frustrated as Andrew insinuates he's not remembering hard enough, had me pissing myself.

SPEAKER_10 6:53

Yeah, that I think it's nice to bring sometimes sometimes you drive me mad.

SPEAKER_04 7:00

And that was an example of what I do today on way down. I shout it in your face.

SPEAKER_10 7:06

Yeah, I mentioned it on the last road show. The volume is high, but but you kind of think, well, he's talking really loud, and you kind of think, right, I can I can work around that, it's fine. But then it goes up another couple of levels, it's like it's like hurts my my eardrums. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's he definitely can do that.

SPEAKER_04 7:23

Yeah, I can't. Well, I I I am really loud, and like um Jerry McCarthy would talk about really loud on it.

SPEAKER_10 7:29

You start at what I assume is like the highest point. I think, well, it can't be any louder than that, and then bang.

SPEAKER_04 7:34

I've also got a supersonic hand clap as well. I don't know if you've heard about this. People are going to festivals alright. I can't I'm in the middle of a pub, I can't carry on doing it. Supersonic hand clap, it's the loudest clap anyone's ever heard. So he said he played with the best, um Blade R's Dead, but Eggie said, hands down, the worst episode of whore members.

SPEAKER_10 7:53

I mean, to be fair, we know Eggie very well.

SPEAKER_04 7:57

He's honest with his opinion, yeah. He's gonna tell you how it is. That's what he's doing. Um Sean said that his were brown stripes, not uh candy sh candy uh coloured stripe bed sheets that he had. Is it some sort of joke to be made there among a dirty protest? No, no, just uh Phil, the the guy who started this all off, Phil Ridley, um blisting kicks, get your trainers from. I've been mean he's got a blusting kicks, Phil. You've been talking about trainers today, so he's got a glisting. Sounds like an advert, doesn't it? Um but yeah, genuinely apparently he's got, I've never been, but Eggie's been. Um he said, proper tickle mate listening to that. I honestly thought Liam was just gonna switch off at one point because he was getting sick of explaining that he can't remember him. And uh big number five said in years to come when historians discuss why who remembers Sword, uh, at the peak of their powers, this episode will be seen as the catalyst with Phil Ridley playing the Yoko Ono role to Liam and Andrew's John and Paul. I mean, to be fair, we we we quickly put it behind us. Well Nelson said the last word on this. Genuinely thought this episode was gonna be like the end of Oasis first time around, with Liam Twat and Andrew around my head with a non-stripe pillow and refusing to speak to him for 20 years. Maybe we'll relax a little once more once that sweet, sweet Patreon money starts rolling in. Yeah, we are we're discussing doing a Patreon. Um we keep discussing it and then listen out for it, is all I'm gonna say. We might discuss some tactics this week, am I Liam?

Stripey Sheets Fallout And Patreon Talk

SPEAKER_10 9:20

Yeah, we've got some ideas, we uh we probably will do it. We probably like everybody who ever does a Patreon are worried that there will be no Patreons. So we might do it. Well, three people have asked for it. So there's at least three. I think sort of four or five expressed an interest. Yeah. Which is which is pretty terrible. So yeah. So we've put the uh the sort of plan with the.

SPEAKER_04 9:47

We've done the we've done the maths, it's like when you're doing a budget, like doing the maths, and we've realised it we can the accounting team are not delighted. Yeah, they're not delighted with what they've got. But if you like what we do, you know, it's not what they always say on these uh podcasts when they always say it's the price of a coffee. Yeah, it's the price of a coffee every day.

SPEAKER_10 10:04

I mean, yeah, and these days it's probably like the price of a sausage roll or something like that, whatever. So yeah. Great song, great song.

SPEAKER_08 10:26

Chapel St. Lennons, baby. I may not always love you, but long as the star stars above you, you never need to doubt it. I'll make you so sure about it. But God only knows what I'd be without you. If you should ever leave me, why would you go every day for something?

SPEAKER_05 11:09

Wait, why should I have your face? Swing it in the back seat, pull it out your first girl with some face. Come play your video games. You and you, it's all for you. Everything to do. Tell you all the time. Heaven is a place on earth with you. Tell me all the things you want and do. It's pancake day, it's a pancake day.

SPEAKER_01 12:10

Pancake day.

SPEAKER_07 12:12

This is pancake day. Pancake day, pancake day.

SPEAKER_05 12:18

Pancake day. Pancake day. It's fucking pancake day.

SPEAKER_10 12:24

So the pancake, man.

unknown 12:26

Well, you take it dozen next time.

SPEAKER_10 12:27

And you mix them in the milk and you split some into flour and it's pancake, pancake, pancake day.

SPEAKER_04 12:32

Fucking pancake day. This is puppy motherfucking pancake day.

SPEAKER_08 12:39

Wait in for God stop pissing up to your neck in the darkness. Everyone around you was corrupted. Say something. There's no dignity in death. Sell the world your last breath. We're still fighting over everything you left over.

SPEAKER_04 13:15

So on global crises, uh Tyron said, Liam, you this is he's quoting you, we're not scientists, we're rememberers. I can't remember you saying that, but funnily enough. Uh and Anne said, it's not often you hear people fondly uh recollecting the Cuban Missile Crisis and a colony nostalgia podcast, especially when they weren't born a good 20 years later. But we'll do anything, won't we? We will absolutely do anything.

SPEAKER_10 13:40

We will throw a misguided, naive opinion on anything more than happy.

SPEAKER_04 13:45

But we were thinking earlier, weren't we, about doing uh uh an idea where um maybe we'll do it on the Patreon, actually, where we pick a side for something that we have but no idea about. Yeah, and we and we fever and feature. And we yeah, we we yeah, we argue as much as we can. With then we're knowing nothing about the subject. Yeah, I can't think of anything on top of my head that we don't know. We know a bit about everything now. That's the trouble, isn't it? Yeah, it would be hard to find something, wouldn't it? Maybe Jazz. I don't know anything about Jazz, do you? Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. Working Men's Club Bongo, this is great.

SPEAKER_10 14:16

Uh by the way, you've just found me a really interesting stat there. So that's that's one of our highest listened to episodes, the uh gone Global Crisis.

SPEAKER_04 14:26

Global crises, and one of the fewest commenting on, which is which is juxtaposition against the striper bed sheets, which is one of the lowest ones and one of the highest comments. You can't, yeah. Working men's club, this is a brilliant um uh comment from Bongo. He said another great pod. Fun fact, my brother was in Guns and Oat Cakes. Remember they were on about guns and oat cakes selling places out. Yeah. Um he said, I'll not tell him you thought they were massive because his head's already the size of a box of crisps. Um he said they did pack out the clubs, but they had mega egos to go with it. So imagine him swogging around within this weird working man's club, mate, uh, what's these? What about you? Carry someone out genuine Gums and Roses ego with them, didn't they? They should do a podcast, these do you know what I mean? Like these um club bands. Fran said, uh oh yeah, because we were talking about uh how working men's clubs have took over spoons. Uh sorry, spoons have taken over working men's clubs. And Fran said, Leem is late to the party on calling it spoons, similar to the age crisis.

SPEAKER_10 15:29

Yeah, that's I don't know if we've discussed that previously. We we considered taking that out. Um we stand by it. We still we don't condone it to the crisis. We don't condone it.

SPEAKER_04 15:39

It was just a poor choice of words, and I think you've got a you've got to roll with it, haven't you? Uh Webding said, he's talking about you here. I swear Liam does one of these three per episode just for shot shot value. He says next year you're gonna be saying tele, Le Vision, what's that? Uh sorry, go on.

SPEAKER_10 15:56

Yeah, what's that in reference to? Me not knowing spoons. Yeah. The thing is though, like it's not like it wouldn't blow my mind if somebody had said spoons to I don't know, weather spoons, but yeah, it's not my go-to.

SPEAKER_04 16:08

Uh Nelson said, um, this is about talking about work events clubs, obviously. You get given the dregs of your dad bottles of Holston Pills to finish off, and no one would bat an eyelid. We used to be a country. Uh they had about three drinks on the pumps as well. Calling black label with a square glass thing on the bar, stones and guinness, and that were your lot. None of this continental stuff. Screams us. I love that. Brilliant, brilliant message. That Neil said he wants a Bobby Nutt on the radio talking about working men's clubs where he started out as a comic, saying, if you were the first actor in a working men's club in Sheffield on a Saturday evening, if you looked out from the stage, all you could see is greenings. He obviously just left. I remember that's what I remember most of the Bobby Nutt, is that sort of Sheffield's. You remember Bobby Nott? Yeah, yeah, I've seen him in Pantaman. Have you? Yeah. Good. Yeah, yeah, very good. Well, I'll tell you something else about Bobby Knott. It's not with planned this, but you've not seen it. No, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not U Tree or anything like that. LJD said the story that I'll die now forevermore. My dad was a club bar manager in the 70s and we lived in it. Um one Saturday night, the term was Bobby Knott, it was on RTV that night as well on the Marty Crane show, and uh and sat with us in the flat watching himself on TV. Um said, Working men's clubs are the story of my life. Me, my parents, brother, aunties, uncles, cousins all worked at the bar for the club for many years. He met his missus working at a working men's club and she did 24 years behind the bar, and their sons worked there too. I live and die there. This is like, he's like, do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_10 17:34

Yeah, no fair play. That's uh I bet there's so many stories to tell from that.

SPEAKER_04 17:39

That's incredible, like just man and boy, like, yeah, generation after generation working men's clubs. It's like Chris Wilde, isn't it? He played there. He played, managed there, he managed again, he managed again, he managed again, and he managed again. He also says that the reform pub that we talked about is in Blackpool, and it used to be the Conservative Club, so it's a sign of political change in times. Um he said, um, we may pop in for a game of bingo over the summer and a pint of foreign beer.

SPEAKER_10 18:05

So yeah, all change. Well, you as we said, very hard to find these days.

SPEAKER_04 18:09

So these days. Debbar says, Me and Katie, this is mad. No offence to Debar or Katie, but me and Katie used to um, it's his missus, by the way, not just a random person who did mad things with them. Used to leave through the free Sheffield paper, the Murkray. Remember the who remembers Murkray? And look at the listings for Working Men's Club in uh South Yorkshire. We'd look for funny names and read the band singer, and then the other one of us would have to guess the type of music that they played. Uh, we'd also track where these bands were going. Ah, look, Silk and Steel are playing at Romars Trades for the Labour Club on Friday, and then they're up at Crooks on the Saturday. We felt we got to know them and created backstories for them, but we never saw any of them. Any of them? That's amazing. That's like that's one of us created.

SPEAKER_10 18:52

I think the member though, this is pre-Netflix and pre-Youtube, isn't it?

SPEAKER_04 18:55

So you had to make your own fun back in them days, to be fair. Um Phil said I can confirm that they have working men's clubs dance after. He says, my stepdad, this is brilliant. My stepdad, Backy Dave, was a local legend in the Ivory League. I love Backy Dave. Backy Dave was a local legend in the Ivor League Club in Farnborough due to his frequent trips to France and the contraband he brought back with him. I think I spent most of my childhood in that shit hole.

SPEAKER_10 19:19

Yeah, and is that still a thing people bring in Backy back from holidays? Backy Dave? That is such a I can't put into a sell it on flights I've been on recently. Well, back what like snuff and stuff, like no, do you know like uh Unbelief and like the rolling tobacco, right? Not like uh roll-ups. Yeah, yeah. I assume that I don't know, I don't know if you get a Backy Dave these days. Backy Dave is an unbelievable yeah, but when someone says Backy Dave, you can almost conjure up exactly what this like what this person looks like and sort of what's funny as well is we're saying happy days, and I can imagine people in the distance keep thinking we keep saying happy days. Yeah, happy days, yeah. Then I get a yeah.

SPEAKER_04 20:01

Should promote we're on happy days in Chapel, settle and it's um drinking, when I get members only. It is members only, they have to pay a pound to get in. Chris said, obviously being uh been in a few in my days, but always remember playing away at Leeds once and going in after a game. Racing on the tele, wood panel walls, snooker, and one of the lads' girlfriends came and told him we should leave as no woman or kids allowed. Wow, yeah. Uh Carl said, My mum used to work Men only. Men only. Carl said, My mum used to work behind the bar at one in Answorth, and his main memory was that the extended Bean family, I presume you mean Sean, not Mr. Bean, were massive dickheads. This is not our words. So don't that could be controversial in our family, yeah. Uh he says Sean Bean was alright, but his cousins were dicks.

SPEAKER_10 20:47

Yeah, I'd working class family from the area. I could I can imagine they got some antics, but I don't know, we we do not condemn Sean Bean's family.

SPEAKER_04 20:55

So Eggie says, because Eggie asked for this episode, he said the gutter band were brilliant. He said, I've seen them a few times, mostly at Christmas time. Big following, great entertainment. And Bobby replied, they play the embassy intake every New Year's Eve, sold out way before, and then Mr. Glitter, sorry, weeks before Mr. Glitter got found out, obviously, as we talked about with PC World. Um and then they let people in for free, but only 20 people turned up. And that's a Gary Glitter cover band. It's not their fault.

SPEAKER_10 21:22

Yeah, that seems hard. So they do they not can they not exist anymore though?

SPEAKER_04 21:26

Yeah, so that like I said, it they used to sell out all the time. But that seems like if you want to enjoy Gary Glitter's music, that's the best way to do it. Yeah. Yeah. You want to be a maggot, mague. I should probably sing literally genuinely a table of kids next to us. Um I'm not even like joking. We've already been you are dressed as Gary Glitter as well, aren't you?

SPEAKER_05 21:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 21:45

I'm wearing massive platform boots. Um Ben says, Remember going on the summer coach trips to the seaside from our local working men's club? Well, just for the family to sit in different working men's clubs at the seaside all day. I love that.

SPEAKER_10 21:58

That makes me think of the uh Another Mickey Pierce connection, the Jolly Boys Out in Beano Tamargate.

SPEAKER_04 22:04

Yeah, Beano Tamargate. You got a Morgite. Chris says this is the last one for working men's clubs. In Guernsey, meat draws are still are still extremely popular in clubs and pubs. Most Friday evenings in the pub, you'll get a meat drawer followed by play your cards right and then open the box. I won four times in one night in a meat drawer and was booed when collecting my meat with him. Also, I may be your more I might be your most southern, softy listener because I live basically next to France. So oh welcome. Well, can I just tell you, mate, we've got listeners in Australia. So we do have yeah, sorry, mate. But is that South? Of course it's South. I suppose it depends where you stand. Where you stand where you stop? South Pole, so most it is still southerly, isn't it? Yeah, it's more southerly.

SPEAKER_10 22:44

If you're more southernly than I think sort of Eastern Australia, we've we've got a small collection of listeners. So if you're more southernly than that, there's no yeah, right. All welcome.

SPEAKER_04 23:06

I could see that you were a man of distinction.

SPEAKER_05 23:09

A real big spender. Good looking so refined. Simple in your mind to know what's going on in my mind, so let me get right to the pop.

SPEAKER_06 23:27

Hey big spender spend a little time with me.

SPEAKER_03 23:43

Travel in my JC work is so hard every night. This is not the fucking song that I asked for.

SPEAKER_05 24:23

And the ways in the easier. Look, man, if you weigh a Saturday way away in the old grey whistle.

SPEAKER_07 24:37

Make it easy on yourself.

SPEAKER_05 24:40

I don't know what the lyrics are now, man.

SPEAKER_10 24:45

Right, I'm just pouring a drink in the caravan. It is the second day of the roadshow. We'll go through some more comments. We're both a bit tired. We did uh karaoke into the wee hours last night.

SPEAKER_03 25:00

Yeah, yeah, big time.

SPEAKER_10 25:02

Um listening live so I'm for myself a gin and lemonade. We're gonna start with the Urban Myths comments, which was one of the most viewed listened episodes I'm most looking to episode that by a m-not by a mile, but by a country mile.

SPEAKER_04 25:19

Yeah, realistically, like that's uh if you can keep listening to our content as much as you listen to that, we'll be multi-millionaire with that, but millionaires. Yeah, yeah, maybe. Anyway.

Urban Myths That Refuse To Die

SPEAKER_10 25:31

Right. Urban myths, so LJD. Uh post about and bringing back Bagpus.

SPEAKER_04 25:38

Yeah, so he posted about this is the anti curse, isn't it? Yeah, so obviously Bagpus is coming back. We talked about Bagpus um coming uh being one of the urban myths of one of my urban myths. What's mad about this is one of my urban myths, what I thought I was the only one who remembered it or or heard it, is that Bagpus got bought in the last episode, which means all the other toys in the shop. They cannot come back to.

SPEAKER_10 26:09

He said that I can only think, because he's he had a very similar memory. I can only think you've told him that.

SPEAKER_04 26:16

I don't think I've told him that. But Travelling Blade said that he also remembers Backpuss being bought. But it's coming back now, so I'll say. If you end it with that, should I get royalties?

SPEAKER_10 26:27

If the end of the uh he has to go back to the shop, yeah, and they all wake up and say, Where have you been? For 40 years. We've not been able to wake up.

SPEAKER_04 26:38

No one buys toys. Did anyone buy toys anymore?

SPEAKER_10 26:41

You'll know, that's more than uh yeah, they're getting like past the toys stage now, they want makeup and stuff like that, but yeah, they people still do buy them. You can still find them. Nav, very educational episode. Yeah, thanks for that. I'm not sure that's true, but thank you. It reminded me of Open University on BBC too. Yeah, correct.

SPEAKER_04 27:01

All angles covered.

SPEAKER_10 27:02

I think Nav he got the vibe, didn't he?

SPEAKER_04 27:05

He knows Nav knows more than anyone else of our listeners. Nav knows what we're aiming for.

SPEAKER_10 27:09

Yeah, and he he can hear it. So even if the rest of you think this sounds shy.

SPEAKER_04 27:13

Yeah. No, Navy will listen to this nodding as he's doing his right. He'll ask a bit of writing, doesn't he, old man? Late night writer, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 27:20

Um sorry, again, very uh live web ding. I swear, and I swear Android, presume you've written that wrong, not him.

SPEAKER_04 27:30

No, he he calls me Android because it's around.

SPEAKER_10 27:32

Ah right, yeah, okay, it makes sense. I swear Android can basically be convinced of anything if you say it in a believable way.

SPEAKER_04 27:39

I think that's true.

SPEAKER_10 27:40

I'll be using this to my advantage in future.

SPEAKER_04 27:42

Yeah, I think that's true.

SPEAKER_10 27:44

Brackett's not like that. Because you have to get an innuendo.

SPEAKER_04 27:46

Yeah, obviously you have to get an innuendo in, yeah. Um I don't think that's true, do you? Well, I think if you tell me something.

SPEAKER_10 27:51

You're easily swayed, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 27:52

Yeah, I'm really easily swayed. I could easily end up in a cold.

SPEAKER_10 27:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 27:57

Yeah, definitely. Like yeah.

SPEAKER_10 27:59

Um a classic episode. I was gonna suggest doing something along these lines to dodge doing the footy games one. Uh there's loads I was thinking of. Lil as Lilt as a contraceptive, Prince's Rib, Mark Arman's stomach pump, swallowing chuddy killed ya, yeah, poisonous yellow ladybirds.

SPEAKER_04 28:18

Yeah, so I don't know about the first one, Lil as a contraceptive, but the other ones I know what he's I talk what completely what he's talking about. The the Prince Rib one was that he removed a rib so he could suck his own cock. I don't know if you've heard.

SPEAKER_10 28:30

Yeah, no, but I've heard that about um Oh, there's loads of him, yeah. No, uh Marilyn Manson.

SPEAKER_04 28:36

Yeah, Marilyn Manson's another one, yeah, yeah. And also, um sorry, what the other one? Uh Mark Almond apparently drank his own spunk.

SPEAKER_10 28:45

Stomach what's how much of it? Stomach pump?

SPEAKER_04 28:47

Uh it m maybe we'll talk about different things here, but I think I remember like a myth that he drank his own spunk. And what's the other one?

SPEAKER_10 28:55

I don't like where this is going to be honest.

SPEAKER_04 28:57

No, I don't like it.

SPEAKER_10 28:58

Swallowing should he killed you.

SPEAKER_04 28:59

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So my nan used to say to me that not chewing gum, but if you swallowed the pit of an orange, tree grow inside you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Didn't happen.

SPEAKER_10 29:11

No. Poisonous yellow ladybirds, etc. Um Ladybirds sometimes like excreted some kind of yellow stuff on you. That's the only thing I can think. Science hour. Yeah. Um comment from Carl. To be fair, I like this because he commented before he actually listened. Not listened yet. But can you can you confirm if Prince having a rib remote back on this again? Urban myths was purely to handsworth Grange, or was this widely?

SPEAKER_04 29:37

No, widely now.

SPEAKER_10 29:38

So I didn't know it's Prince, but I've I've I know of the rumour.

SPEAKER_04 29:42

Horrible, horrible. Why would you want to do that? I can't imagine that's not something I've ever like thought. Oh, I wish I could do that.

SPEAKER_10 29:52

What's your ambition in life? Well, I tell you what, uh If I could remove a rib. If I can remove ribs yeah. Uh Ken, first we had uh Dora gate, and now we're actually running out Roger in the cabin boy, slippery slow.

unknown 30:05

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 30:06

Which you thought was uh Rob Roger the cabin boy Robin the cabin boy.

SPEAKER_10 30:10

Yeah, you found some sort of weird implication in that.

SPEAKER_04 30:13

Very Mike Parry, though. Most Mike Parry have a sound, I think though.

SPEAKER_10 30:16

Bloody hell, there's a theme here, isn't it? I can't believe you didn't include Prince. Yeah, apparently taking out his ribs.

SPEAKER_04 30:21

They absolutely love it.

SPEAKER_10 30:22

To Captain Pugwash himself.

SPEAKER_04 30:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 30:24

I think the show's finally got a catchphrase, rubber up and be safe.

SPEAKER_04 30:28

Well that's off a partridge, innit?

SPEAKER_10 30:32

Well, we stand by it though, don't we?

SPEAKER_04 30:33

Yeah, well, we'll we'll have to. We we don't plagarize, don't take on loads.

SPEAKER_10 30:38

Condown No, we do con down that phrase. Yeah, we do con down it. Rubber up, be safe. Tyrone. Liam's fist fight with a swan story made me absolutely howl, absolutely superb.

SPEAKER_04 30:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 30:49

Yeah, I have a history with poultry, I'm afraid. And I and I'm you know, you live by the sword, you die by the sword, I'm afraid, when it comes to dealing with larger birds. Uh Ron, the smell of swimming pools is actually piss reacting with chlorine. Could be a myth, actually. Although it's a statement of facts, it could be a myth, actually.

SPEAKER_04 31:08

Maybe not.

SPEAKER_10 31:08

Maybe not. I'm sure I heard that Pugwash was redubbed to rename the Purvi characters.

SPEAKER_04 31:13

That can't be true, obviously, but I don't know.

SPEAKER_10 31:18

A few of us are very convinced that that was fine.

SPEAKER_04 31:22

Well, Ben, obviously, uh former Blaze Pod uh host Ben messaged me after he uh listened to the episode saying I it's the first I've known about those characters not being called. Yeah, it was exactly the same as me.

SPEAKER_10 31:37

I had no knowledge of the myth.

SPEAKER_04 31:40

They were called um fucking masturbates and all that, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 31:44

Robbing the kitchen. Um and finally, my myth, I 100% believe still went to the TSB TSB bank at the top of Fargate. I don't remember not with my dad in 1983. I'm 100% certain I witnessed a bank robbery. As we left, a Ford Courtina sped up Fargate, pedestrian articles, stopped outside of the bank, and two armed I like how he's sort of trying to say, like, yeah, I don't know if this is two armed men in Balaklava stepped out, jumped in the back. If my memory's true, but I can't find any ah right, so he's so there was never anything to sort of back up what he'd seen. I'm certain this happened. I've remembered it for decades, but the internet and lack of evidence has made me question my own sanity. I mean, if you if you saw that, Ron, you saw it.

SPEAKER_03 32:32

Yeah. And would it be on the internet now? And Robin Fargate in the 90s or whatever he's talking about, the eight night.

SPEAKER_10 32:39

Robbing the bank, robbing the TSP. Yeah, I I I can't I I don't know, but um if you if you saw it and you remember it, yeah, yeah. You remember it. Yeah. This is what it's all about, remembering things.

SPEAKER_04 32:52

It's all about remembering.

SPEAKER_10 32:53

Uh Paul, great episode. I remember the Bassett one. Oh, oh wow. Yeah. Uh was it a turn from a joke he did, an interview, saying he'd he'd run the team by his wife. That do you know what? That would be absolutely plausible that young school kids have got the wrong then of the joke.

SPEAKER_03 33:11

Oh, yeah, Bassett's interview today.

SPEAKER_10 33:13

I mean, actually that that could be where it came from. Yeah, that that seems very plausible. Uh we had one at school that there were tunnels from Abigail Grange going under Sheffield to a secret bunker. Not sure if no idea if true, but suspect not. Don't remember that. Abidale Grange. What what was special about Abadale Grange? Bunkers.

SPEAKER_04 33:35

Why would you need bunkers anyway? Like, I mean, I suppose it's very like a nuclear war.

SPEAKER_10 33:38

There was I think they're true actually. I think there's council buildings at the bottom of the mall that have sort of secret escape tunnels.

SPEAKER_04 33:45

You love the uh metal body bags thing, didn't you? I think you nearly had that as a myth, but I I like I said I think that's true.

SPEAKER_10 33:51

Yeah, there was a myth that metal have got a thousand body bags in stories in case of a terrorist incident.

SPEAKER_04 33:57

I think that's true.

SPEAKER_10 33:59

I I don't know. I don't know if like major all sort of major gathering points maybe have to know. Have you got the body bags? Don't no.

SPEAKER_04 34:08

Not this time.

SPEAKER_10 34:09

But uh Berlin Blade, Amazie didn't mention the one about a lad having a wank in his room with his headphones on and his eyes closed. Finish with a cup of tea next to him that his mum had brought on.

SPEAKER_04 34:19

Yeah, that's I think Richard Javet says this on his uh stand-up where like you've got your earphones on, but obviously you're having a wank. Uh I mean never have a wank with your earphones on, is my.

SPEAKER_10 34:30

Eyes closed, earphones on. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 34:31

And then your mum you you turn around and your mum's obviously brought in a cup of tea next to you.

SPEAKER_10 34:37

I I think what's weird in that is that she wouldn't think, oh god, and close the door and just instantly try and forget that moment. Imagine I just casually walking around like tea, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 34:52

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 34:53

Yeah, I I've certainly heard that. It's definitely an urban myth.

SPEAKER_04 34:56

Did your mum ever catch your wanking, Liam? This is really like this is what we're doing late night fucking urban.

SPEAKER_10 35:00

Yeah, we might do a Patreon late night stuff.

SPEAKER_04 35:03

No, I don't think that's ever happened to me. You ever catch mum? This is awful. Fucking hell, mum and dad having sex.

SPEAKER_10 35:10

Er no. No, I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 35:13

Fortunately. I mean I think you'd block it out even if you did.

SPEAKER_10 35:17

Like we've got stories of sort of incidents with people we know that might be for a late night show one day.

SPEAKER_03 35:23

Oh yeah, yeah, big time.

SPEAKER_10 35:25

But they're not for right now.

SPEAKER_03 35:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 35:27

Um also pitching the swimming pools, you're not only perfectly safe, but it's very satisfying. Typical casual factual information, thank you for that. Uh Adam, I can't believe you've drunk own Leroy didn't mention Bummer Robo and Mad Meg.

SPEAKER_04 35:46

Do you do you know what he's talking about?

SPEAKER_10 35:49

No, I I've looked into this. This this could almost be a standalone episode, actually, to be fair. Yeah, there's some sort of mad story about some I can't remember it is. I think it's close to Civic Centre Sports. The sports centre of the Civic, some sort of mad couple who were homeless or lived in a big trailer or something. I don't know. I I I wasn't aware of that. Um my world was too small for that. There's some I've read something online though about like that. There's some it got mentioned on something. What were they doing? Who read it out? Some uh a podcast read it out or a radio show read it out. I I'll I'll try and find try and put a link in the episode or uh the great Adam Follett might might comment on it after it. I'm not sure. Yeah, there is some somebody phoned in a radio show and said I'm from Drumfield and there's the story of Bummer, what is it? Bummer uh I've lost it now. Bummer Robo, Mad Meg. They chase people down or something. I I I don't know of that, I'm sorry. Uh all the fun of the theme park.

SPEAKER_04 36:58

Um by the way, we he always comments uh all the fun of the beat uh theme park. And uh he's got a YouTube channel, which I feel like we should uh Yeah, give him a follow. Um I I I'm a subscriber. He goes around like uh I don't know if you're like a subject.

SPEAKER_10 37:12

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 37:13

Um goes around like obviously theme parks and stuff.

SPEAKER_10 37:15

Did we somewhere Thor Thought Park or somewhere very recently? But he goes on. Yeah, no, check it out.

SPEAKER_04 37:22

Genuinely really interesting, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 37:24

Yeah, yeah. It's not like it's not just saying that comment at all. No, no, no, nobody's uh asked us to mention that. But yeah, no, give them give him a follow. Um I haven't listened another another comment before listening, though. I haven't listened to this yet. But my prediction before doing so will be the go the school having a yeah, uh to be fair, I kind of get where it's coming from here. I'm saying here, I don't know if they're a couple actually, but I get where they're coming from. So before doing so, it'll be a school having a ghost called the Grey Lady. Yeah, yeah, and that that was not even just schools, like but everywhere's got the grey library, a castle, yeah. Yeah, no, I I mean our library's supposed to be haunted, and I I'm not sure if that was the Grey Lady or something like that.

SPEAKER_04 38:11

Across from Sainsbury's is supposed to be haunted. With the Grey Lader.

SPEAKER_10 38:15

The Grey Lader.

SPEAKER_04 38:16

Yeah, but holding a lantern. They're always holding a lantern. Why would they need a lantern? Why would the lantern be part of the ghost?

SPEAKER_10 38:22

Yeah, they've got the the ghost lantern.

SPEAKER_04 38:23

Yeah, it's not part of the ghost.

SPEAKER_10 38:24

Oh no, no, they've got a ghost lantern.

SPEAKER_04 38:25

Yeah, they've got a ghost lantern. Yeah, but it's not part of the body, is it?

SPEAKER_10 38:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 38:29

I think there's something when they unless when you die, you die with the body.

SPEAKER_10 38:32

You've got the things with what you've got with you, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 38:34

Imagine like you're holding, like, I don't know, you're like carrying something massive, you have to carry that around and and walking back from car light with a yeah, carrying a new microwave.

SPEAKER_10 38:42

You have to walk around as a microwave.

SPEAKER_05 38:45

The grey lady with a microwave. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 38:47

Um, yeah, uh Gary, you can't convert that to the euro. No, no. Uh genuinely left out loud, phrase I have to use. So that was for anyone who didn't listen to that episode. I'd be amazed if you're still here now if you didn't, but yeah, I I decided at one bit I wanted to kind of have a catchphrase that was all mine. Uh I've got uh Gee's Luigi. I've heard people using that. I use that. Yeah, I've heard people using that.

SPEAKER_04 39:11

I I don't say Jesus Christ anymore. I always say geez Luigi, and that's from you. I'm happy to give you that.

SPEAKER_10 39:16

You're welcome.

SPEAKER_04 39:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 39:18

Um but yeah, when when we first talked about this wasn't Brexit, this was pre-Brexit when we first talked about giving up the pound and getting a euro.

SPEAKER_04 39:26

Oh, you were knighted with Blair and that, weren't it?

SPEAKER_10 39:28

Like, oh yeah, no, I was ahead of my ahead of my time. But yeah, if you did something great, I think I scored a goal when we were playing football once. Said you cannot convert that into the euro.

SPEAKER_04 39:39

Normal shit goal. Can't convert that into the euro.

SPEAKER_10 39:42

World class. Uh Chango Mutley, I saw the crescent. Liam saw the wholeness of the moon.

SPEAKER_04 39:48

Yeah, it's talking about Bob Olness's saxophone solo.

SPEAKER_10 39:51

I mean that's that's cheap. We were talking about Johnny Vaughan, weren't we? That's uh yeah, genius of golden bullets, the centre of the forehead. I saw the crescent Liam saw the wholeness of the moon, yeah, brilliant.

unknown 40:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 40:22

What are you crazy? How the hell can you say what you just said? I was talking to myself, start the dog called bed by the way I forgot to say you're indearing mother called today. Did you see Lisa? Yes, I saw Lisa. If that's my angry, I'm not angry, maybe a little not even maybe Wasn't it the weather? How the hell can you just say what you just said? Don't remember And you can find your lucky stones and there's no lyrics because I can't remember the lyrics.

SPEAKER_08 41:18

These are my lyrics Tranging slowly over wet side back to the badge wear your clothes we're stall This is the coast of God to post out come overgether, come over again, come every day just like some day Every day is silent and gray. Don't go breaking my heart.

SPEAKER_06 42:14

I do lift my try.

SPEAKER_08 42:38

Oh, I gave you my key Nobody knows it when I was down, I was just clowned. Nobody knows it.

SPEAKER_06 43:01

Right from the start, I gave you my heart. Oh, I give you my heart.

SPEAKER_10 43:12

We move on to the next episode, which was the Who Remembers Food We Used Eat as Kids. Cappy, I was forced to have school dinners because it would be better for me than butties. But I just chose chips every single day. Awful, really. Uh I'm a really disciplined disciplined person in almost every aspect of my life with the exception of food, a lifelong struggle.

SPEAKER_04 43:33

Yeah, a lot of people like that though, aren't they? I mean, you you've been talking about losing a little bit of weight, it sounds like I'm only a fat cunt, but like you've been on about it, and it's hard, isn't it? It's difficult. Yeah, especially when you get older.

SPEAKER_10 43:44

Uh Tutti Fruities discontinued, then Covid came straight after. What a period of life that was. Twacks. Tutti fruities, I didn't know you couldn't still get them. Uh Carl, I came up with a genius racket of flogging my pack lunge to fat kids so I could go to the chippy. Yeah, I remember people selling stuff at school. I find that a bit odd to be honest.

SPEAKER_04 44:05

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, Johnny Gascoigne, I was gonna say.

SPEAKER_10 44:16

Applies to both. Gary, uh, just in the middle, just in the midst, which is a great word, schooled in a bit. Reminded me of the greatest piece of observational nostalgia comedy said by my wife when my daughter started primary. She said, Do you still answer the registers with sarnies or dinners?

SPEAKER_03 44:36

I know what it means. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 44:37

I think that's still a thing. I think I think. Er my youngest still has to tell. I I'm not sure if it's part of the register or or if it's sort of a follow-on, but she certainly asked in the morning, let them know which one she is.

SPEAKER_04 44:51

Are these sandwiches or dinners?

SPEAKER_10 44:55

Mainly sandwiches. Yeah. Sometimes dinners, yeah. If like if he likes the uh like the old the big breakfast to call it. Yeah. Quite likes a sausage roll. Tilly or sometimes if she's close to Ken T. We had a cracking breakfast or something. Where was that?

SPEAKER_04 45:12

I don't know what it's called. Is it tr trenches? Trenches? Yeah, something like that.

SPEAKER_10 45:16

Uh on trunch lane.

SPEAKER_04 45:17

Brilliant breakfast.

SPEAKER_10 45:18

That was actually really good.

SPEAKER_04 45:19

I had a vegetarian one, not a veggie, but I didn't want any bacon. And even the sausages, like like Mike Parry when it says like, I can tell these sausages are definitely I couldn't tell.

SPEAKER_10 45:30

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You had a fantastic cappuccino as well.

SPEAKER_04 45:33

Oh, they're not a beautiful cappuccino like James Richardson.

SPEAKER_10 45:36

Uh Nelson, Fiendish feet yogurt. Oh, Fiendish feet yogurts, yeah, staple of the pack lunches in the early 90s. Like most of Roy's suggestions are genuinely not made anymore. Yeah, you just listed things you can still buy for a long time, didn't you? Yeah, yeah, correct. Don't you work in a supermarket as well?

SPEAKER_04 45:51

True, yeah. I'm not normally, I'm not on the shop floor that much, is what I'd say, but yeah, um, I should probably know.

SPEAKER_10 45:58

Do you just walk around with your eyes shut? It's complete character assassination, isn't it?

SPEAKER_04 46:02

He's right, yeah, he's right.

SPEAKER_10 46:04

You are a complete moron. No, he didn't put it.

SPEAKER_04 46:06

No, no, but if someone like comes up to me, I don't know, I'm not on shop floor that much. If someone says uh I don't know, you get chilling with a finders' crispy pancakes or what freezers, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 46:15

Freezers. No, I told you they've revealed rebranded them, but yeah, fair enough. Uh I could just picture a scene where a customer comes up to him and asks where the Skittles are to him at a look of total confusion and him saying, Nah, I've not made them since 2004.

SPEAKER_04 46:30

Love that, yeah, brilliant.

SPEAKER_10 46:32

Uh Jack, never mind milk monitor. Ah, never mind milk monitor as a school kiln monitor. I was in charge of putting clay models from the R into the kiln and collecting them. If you pissed me off, your clay models accidentally fell into my what are the hell? Yeah, he drove a kept hard lined, didn't he, Jack? Yeah. Um why are why are most of Ruth's why are most of Roy's food items still available in supermarkets?

SPEAKER_04 47:00

Yeah, true, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 47:02

Uh Chimpan A. Um just finished the pod this morning on the dog walk and enjoying Roy's Remembering list of products currently available in every supermarket, exceptional remembering. Also, the shit roll of which you spoke was easy. A one-sided shiny, one side rough, medicated toilet roll that terrified the arses of 70s and 80s school kids more than more effectively than insert any TV percent of the time. Produced here in Chapel Town. If anyone cares about school toilet paper, famously described as the Clint Eastwood of toilet paper. Chip my A should do it's rough, it's tough, and it takes no shit.

SPEAKER_04 47:40

Chip I love it. Yeah, Chipman A should do a podcast on shit paper, I reckon. Chip roll. I'd listen.

SPEAKER_10 47:47

Yeah. I'm not sure if I would, but yeah, if you want to do it, own decisions. Uh Neil, I remember having Finder's French bread. Yeah, I remember Finder's French bread pizza. They had the most boring toppings ever. Always seemed to be some version of cheese and tomato, but we used to get given it every Saturday as they were cheap. Yeah, I do I do remember them actually. Awful. There's sort of similar versions now. I think Chicago Town do similar versions.

SPEAKER_04 48:12

I used to live, not live. But I couldn't I can't really cook that well now, but when I couldn't do anything, like especially like 1617, I lived off Chicago pizzas. Just put them in two minutes, boom, you're out.

SPEAKER_10 48:27

They're like three and a half minutes to cook them, but yeah, but pull the rise and fall of Sunny Delight was due to an incident where it was over consumed my kid and made their skin orange. Result of a substance called beta carotene. This led to the recipe change and rebranding to Sunny D, but they never recovered its initial early 90s sales.

SPEAKER_04 48:45

Brilliant comment there, brilliant facts. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 48:49

Yeah, I mean it. I assume he's he's checked his fights.

SPEAKER_04 48:52

So we'll just go all anyway. Yeah. If you send us in, we're just gonna presume it's true.

SPEAKER_10 48:58

So it was incredibly orange, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_04 49:01

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Proper, horrible, horrible.

SPEAKER_10 49:04

But that's mental, isn't it? That somebody drank so much of it, it turned them orange. Was it Donald Trump? I wonder if Trump still drink it to the staff.

SPEAKER_04 49:12

That's what it is. People say go in the sun, but it's the best drink. It's the beautiful drink. I I drink orange.

SPEAKER_10 49:17

Beautiful drink. I drink it every day, I drink the most.

SPEAKER_04 49:20

My favourite drink, my best drink.

SPEAKER_10 49:21

People say nobody drinks more than me. Ron, love this. Orange school milk. I think the uh that there were some kids that got free school milk if qualified for NHS slash eddie glasses.

SPEAKER_04 49:33

Yeah, I don't know if this is true.

SPEAKER_10 49:35

I mean, I'm not I'm not doubting him, but uh you also got free school meals and free milk at school. Prior to that, I think there was a movement to prior to all kids of milk to offset malnutrition. I I think that's the bit I was referring to, that I caught the end of that every kid had to have a milk in the morning. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 49:51

Um then they changed it.

SPEAKER_10 49:53

Yeah. We were we were talking actually the other day about when you you've been watching some political stuff.

SPEAKER_04 49:59

Yeah, I love it.

SPEAKER_10 50:00

And I remember when when did Thatcher get voted?

SPEAKER_04 50:02

Er Thatcher were in seven 79, I want to say. Yeah, 79 for Thatcher.

SPEAKER_10 50:07

Oh no, it's not Thatcher then.

SPEAKER_04 50:09

And if she left in '91.

SPEAKER_10 50:13

Who Who was I thought you told me someone was like 85 or 86.

SPEAKER_04 50:18

Thatcher all the way through that, so.

SPEAKER_10 50:20

Yeah, but they must have got voted in at that time.

SPEAKER_04 50:23

Thatcher's 79. Definitely. Yeah, I'm pretty sure, yeah, because 83 election were against Michael Foot.

SPEAKER_10 50:30

Oh, it don't make any sense then. Because I remember a kid at school saying to me when I was about four, it looked me dead in the eye and said, we've just got to give them a chance, haven't we? When they got voted in on the general election.

SPEAKER_04 50:44

Well they might yeah, they got voted in again in 83. So it might have been that. No, because I weren't one, it would have been like oh yeah, sorry, oh sorry, 87 there'd have been voted in then.

SPEAKER_10 50:52

Yeah, so I was five, just five. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but uh a small red-headed child, I think it was called James something. No, Robert something, looked me dead in the eye when I sat on the school road before class and said, We've just got to give him a chance, haven't we?

SPEAKER_04 51:06

Yeah, and now he is the leader of the show.

SPEAKER_10 51:09

That man is now Nigel Farage. So Bobby B, uh yeah, friend of the show. Message for a good idea for an episode, actually, from Bobby B. But OMG, uh, not only me that has pot noodle sarnies, I feel a little less depraved. Yeah, I've I must admit I've dabbled and I like him. I was a milk monitor at infant school. I felt the power invested in me. But to be fair, Panchoro's already labelled me a fascist for using X if the cat fits.

SPEAKER_04 51:44

We might have to change that, because we might have got it on Instagram, aren't we? So I might have to change the uh the ending to the the episode and say you can catch it on Instagram. Um I don't know if that makes you a woke and or a fascist, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 51:55

Or both.

SPEAKER_04 51:56

Oh yeah, maybe both. Maybe both. I'll do some research. Yeah, we're uh everyone's woke is a broad church.

SPEAKER_10 52:04

We're anti-woke and pro woke, aren't we?

SPEAKER_04 52:06

Yeah, both.

SPEAKER_10 52:07

So yeah, we wherever you say it, we're with you.

SPEAKER_04 52:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 52:10

Uh LJD. In the 70s, Cocoa Pops were called Cocoa Crispies and had a sweep on the box.

SPEAKER_04 52:16

No, sweep from uh and had sweep on the box. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 52:20

Sutty was on the puffer, puffer rice box.

SPEAKER_04 52:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 52:23

Sweep is the icon of children's TV, bar non.

SPEAKER_04 52:27

I'm gonna disagree with that. I wasn't a massive fan at all of uh Soty and Sweep. I preferred zipper.

SPEAKER_01 52:38

Look at me!

SPEAKER_04 52:39

He's like it reminds me of like uh I don't know, Chris Wilder.

SPEAKER_10 52:45

Rolling Rapp, I don't know if we were that that early, but um uh I think we mentioned him last night as well, didn't we? Anyway, but I don't know how you can say sweep is the icon barn on when it was Sotty and Sweep.

SPEAKER_04 53:00

Like Yeah, the second. It was Soty show, wasn't it? Yeah, it was Suty show. It was Soty Show.

SPEAKER_10 53:04

I'm I agree, I I preferred Sweep. Did you? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 53:07

What what's the other one called? Uh Sue Woman. Sue, yeah, the panda.

SPEAKER_10 53:11

Suty and Sweep a panda called Sue and little cousin Scampy too.

SPEAKER_04 53:16

I don't know what you're about. What what did Sweep say? Like, what were his he couldn't speak?

unknown 53:21

Fuck yeah.

SPEAKER_10 53:22

I don't think any of them could speak, could they?

SPEAKER_04 53:24

Panda? Uh she could.

SPEAKER_10 53:26

Yeah, she could.

SPEAKER_04 53:27

Oh Soty, what are you doing? Oh you pair of dick ends.

SPEAKER_10 53:32

I don't think Soty one of them squeaked. Maybe Sweep squeaked.

SPEAKER_04 53:35

I think yeah. Soty.

SPEAKER_10 53:37

So he didn't do anything, did he?

SPEAKER_04 53:38

Yeah, because it was Matthew, what's his name? I'm gonna say Jeremy Corbyn. Matthew Corbyn, Jeremy Corbyn.

SPEAKER_10 53:43

Jeremy Corbyn.

SPEAKER_04 53:44

He was like going, oh Soty, that's not right. You shouldn't be saying this.

SPEAKER_10 53:49

No, I I think he just would uh said stuff into his ear. I think Sweep could squeak. I think that's the difference.

SPEAKER_04 53:56

I disagree with LJD, is all I'm saying on this particular time.

SPEAKER_10 54:00

Well, I I've started off disagreeing, but I I actually think Sweep maybe was the icon, yeah. Uh Jane, yes. Multipack cereals specifically as a caravan treat. Yeah, I mean absolutely uh I know you could have them at other times, but they were caravan treatment. Yeah, brilliant. You had to take a box of it.

SPEAKER_04 54:19

I loved them at multi-cereals. I think like you would left the ones you didn't like till the end, but you were like, oh, shredded tomorrow, like, oh, and then yeah, weather's after that or whatever it is.

SPEAKER_10 54:29

Ricycles. Um even the boring ones tasted much better from the than from the individual boxes.

SPEAKER_04 54:36

I agree with her.

SPEAKER_10 54:36

Or does all food taste better in a caravan? I I think both. I think they did taste better than the beginning.

SPEAKER_04 54:41

I mean not possibly that can't possibly be true, but I do agree with her.

unknown 54:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 54:46

Factually, yeah, that cannot be true, but but we wholeheartedly agree. Yeah, no, they did. They did taste better. Even though they're probably from the same factory. Well, but they were better though, but but they can't have been, but they were better.

SPEAKER_04 54:59

But they were better.

SPEAKER_10 55:00

Yeah. Craig uh Craig, I hope Starburst Juicers get mentioned in this.

SPEAKER_04 55:04

We didn't, we didn't mention them.

SPEAKER_10 55:07

So yeah, I'm thinking of something else. Juicers, I'm thinking of. But uh anyway, juiced juicers, what was juicer? One of the great confectionaries that mysteriously and without any warning disappeared from our shelves, never to be seen again.

SPEAKER_04 55:19

I think it might be like a Mandela effect for Craig here, because I can't remember these at all.

SPEAKER_10 55:23

In fact, the subjects of feature in your next mystery solving.

SPEAKER_04 55:26

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 55:27

Yeah, we'll look into it. We'll look into Starbucks. I think obviously Craig's realised from past episodes we once we get on a case, we can solve it quite quickly.

SPEAKER_04 55:36

We're we're we're close to solving 9-11, aren't we? We know what like went on there.

SPEAKER_10 55:42

And and that was the moment the podcast was cancelled, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 55:45

You say it all, they'll probably make it like if we turn this into a conspiracy podcast, we get this girl. Jamie, Jamie, get that fucking 25 minutes.

SPEAKER_09 55:52

It shows that fucking picture of that plane flying into the building.

SPEAKER_10 55:55

What's that shadow? There's a fucking shadow, man. Uh and the major opal fruits and the cane.

SPEAKER_04 56:04

Yeah, the cane.

SPEAKER_10 56:05

Ah, sorry, I was thinking that was a sweet opafruits and the cane never did me any harm at all. Well, yeah, I mean, if if that's what led the major to his his current position, then opal fruits and the cane. Perhaps we should all be taking that.

SPEAKER_04 56:18

We absolutely all need opal fruits and the cane.

SPEAKER_10 56:20

We uh should we stand up and salute?

SPEAKER_04 56:23

Yeah, I think we should, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 56:25

Yeah, we'll do a quick salute for the major.

unknown 56:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 56:28

Yeah, either do you uh or pick out the notes, do what you want to do. See what I think we've got this one.

SPEAKER_08 57:04

Whatever I like if it's wrong about it so it always seems to me always seems to me you won't be saying what people want you to see on the boss, boss, no boss, it's fine. Whatever you say, it's all right, it's alright. Gentlemen, time please you know we can't serve anymore. Now the traffic lights change to stop when there's nothing to go. By five o'clock everything's dead, and everything cars a cab ignorant people sleep in their bells like a dog white mice in a college lab.

SPEAKER_06 58:25

I was happy in the house of a drunk one hour, but heaven knows I'm miserable now. I was looking for a job and then I found a job. And heaven knows I'm miserable now. All my life.

SPEAKER_07 58:47

Why do I give valuable time to people who don't terrify?

SPEAKER_10 58:58

We move on to the take that episode comments. Yeah. I mean, first of all, obviously, one of the comments we'll get to quite quickly is from Kate, but we we should have had uh Katie beating as a guest on this.

SPEAKER_04 59:08

It was Katie's husband, I don't think Katie's wife. Uh Kate's husband said that she was genuinely disappointed that we didn't have her on. Uh to take that. I didn't know that she was that big of a fan.

SPEAKER_10 59:19

Yeah, we obviously we do guest episodes, and in hindsight, we should have for anything else, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 59:25

I mean we're probably not gonna do take that again. But I didn't know how big of a fan she was, but she was she sent us loads of stuff we we can't go through with this, obviously, on a comments episode, but she's she's like writ written for the metro and stuff like that. I think it was a metro.

SPEAKER_10 59:39

I might have like done her a disservice there, but I think she's done I I don't know if it's necessarily take that, but she's done some like mainstream writing as well.

SPEAKER_04 59:46

No, no, but um I mean about take that.

SPEAKER_10 59:48

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 59:49

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, she doesn't just like oh.

SPEAKER_10 59:52

Only World Record on take that, yeah. Uh so Jack, if anyone is in the edge of their seat regarding Hannah.

SPEAKER_04 59:58

Oh yeah, because Hannah was a girl who um off school or off work or something. She was the girl who like had to uh found the helpline at school. She was crying that much.

SPEAKER_10 1:00:08

Right. Don't know where she is these days, probably in a house covering take that posters. However, a few years later in secondary school, she did ask me how. Even as a teenager, desperate for some action, I had to decline. Knowing about to take that breakdown was enough to put anyone on.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:23

I I think it's done a wise move from Jack there, to be honest. No offense to Kate.

SPEAKER_10 1:00:30

Uh obviously, Kate, devastated to not be an expert guest on this episode. Yeah, we are as well, to be fair. Uh John, I can remember being around my mate's house when the news came out. Being two lads in the last year of high school, we thought it was hilarious. Fair play to them, though, probably one of the best comebacks in pop.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:45

I agree. Totally agree. There might not be any better in pop. Certainly in boy bands is no better. Because not only did they come back like fiver back, just doing their old reaction.

SPEAKER_10 1:00:55

Yeah, but they came back selling out of rangings, didn't they?

SPEAKER_04 1:00:56

No, but not that. They came back with songs, patience, number ones as well, didn't they?

SPEAKER_10 1:01:00

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, it still's not like that. Uh Gary, I was in the audience. I was in the audience. I was in the audience for uh the quickly deduct Steve Wright chat show the day Robbie left. Quickly deduct.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:20

Um defunct.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:22

Right, quickly deduct Steve Wright chat show, the day Robbie left. And take that with a musical guests. They did their bit when the cameras were off. They wanted a sweary-mouthed rant about what a twat Robbie was.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:34

That is brilliant. This is what you get from whole members. You get behind the scenes.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:38

Yeah, they say insight.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:39

Yeah. I can imagine that. Gary going, well, they were an absolute wanker, to be honest.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:43

Yeah, it was, yeah. Yeah, you said it.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:46

Other two just dancing. Yeah. Jason Orange's going, I don't want to be here, to be honest. I I can imagine it being really poshed, Jason Owen's like, I can't believe I got involved in this. Robbie's gone.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:58

Gary's fuming.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:59

Oh dear. And yeah, the other one just dancing.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:02

Yeah. Is it Howard? Yeah, Howard is rude whole dreadlocks.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:06

Howard did up.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:07

Um, nav. Jason became a mature student after take that split and achieved a degree in sociology.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:13

Exactly.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:14

He also did a lot of travelling.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:17

Well, I mean, how is that?

SPEAKER_10 1:02:20

He said the only part of being a singer he liked was performing on stage. He hated being famous.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:25

Brilliant from Jason Orange.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:27

I'm brilliant from Nav, as always. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, JP Chango, uh, here's a rememberer for you. I remember watching a cover band made up of guardsmen from the Black Watch Regiment play a version of A Million Love Songs in a bar. Oh, a million love songs. A million love songs in a bar. A million love songs. Well, you've written a cappill.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:47

It's my father. A million love songs.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:50

A million love songs, later. Uh, just outside Fort Stanley, Hong Kong in 1993. Best life sax A not E. So it was sax not sex I've ever seen.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:02

Imagine that. I'd love that.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:04

TH top three. Um TH top three.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:08

Take take that top three.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:10

SPEAKER_01 1:03:11

Take heart top three. Yeah. Might be my mistake again.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:14

T Ham. TH top three.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:20

Forget about it.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:21

TH top three, a ridge band, B4G, Mill L S. What the fuck is this? Reformed patient.

unknown 1:03:28

What? What?

SPEAKER_04 1:03:28

What?

SPEAKER_10 1:03:29

I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:29

I don't know if you're me reading it wrong.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:32

You write it wrong, or Chango Mutley saying it wrong.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:34

So what he's saying, I think. The last line of Chango Mutley. Chango Mutley, uh Regiment A not E, never see. Take he has put T H, I think he means take that, is I think it's Orig Band, original band. Yeah. B4G. What's B4G? Million Love Songs. He's put Mill L S. Back for Good. Back for Good. Back for Good. Yeah. Big Friendly Giant. Yeah. Um, Back for Good, Million Love Songs, and Patience.

SPEAKER_10 1:04:07

So he's listening songs.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:09

Yeah. So we decoded it.

SPEAKER_10 1:04:10

The top three. Take Heart. TH Top Three. A Ridge Band.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:16

Take Heart.

SPEAKER_10 1:04:17

So the original band Best Songs. Take Heart isn't there. Back for Good, Million Love Songs, and the Reformed Patience. Right, we've cracked we've cracked it. We've cracked the crowd. We've passed a challenge.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:04:32

So, next one, Singing Sportsman episode, Deadbat. There's a whole album released by all footballers.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:38

Yeah, he shared this actually to us.

SPEAKER_10 1:04:41

It was discussed on Quickly Kevin a while ago. It's incredible. Matt Jansen, is it Matt Jansen? Matt Jansen. Matt Jansen sings Babylon by David Gray. Chris Kamara, Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison. And a few from Big Ron, Deion Dublin, and many more.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:55

Well, Big Ron has obviously got he liked his swing, didn't he? Same as Venables. I don't know, like he's doing his like his Frank. My way.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:05

Strangers in the night. Exchanging Lances.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:10

I can imagine I can do that, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:12

Uh Webding. You can do the Chris Waddle is a bold claim.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:16

Yeah, I'll take a bit like you. Slagging you off.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:20

Well, yeah, let's let's say let's say Webow's Waddle, Chris Waddle.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:24

Chris Waddle.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:25

Uh Mart, the Chris Waddle impression. Oh, well, I'll tell you what, Deadbing, put Deadbing. Blurred him into one person. I'll tell you what, Webster, put this in your pipe and smoke it. So from Matt, the Chris Waddle impression was amazing. I thought it was Rory Bremner.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:42

Different people, different opinions. I think Webden's a little bit jealous though.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:46

Yeah, I mean, obviously we know he can do a fantastic better, but perhaps he's not got Waddle in the locker.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:52

I think he he's try he's been trying to do Waddle for a while and he can't, and you've you've come and just like mastered it immediately.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:58

No sweat. Uh Snookaloopy is great for a novelty song, but that Romford rap sounded a bit dodgy. Yeah, weird one, that one, wasn't it? Uh Nav, uh you know, again, if if anyone can read the room, it's Nav. Fine impression, that waddle.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:13

Yeah. Again. Webdings on his own, eh?

SPEAKER_10 1:06:16

Gaza released a follow-up single called Geordie Boy.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:19

Yeah, Geordie Boys, and we're going to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:20

I think you mentioned that, yeah. I don't I know if you mentioned it on the pod, but I think you've told me that. I don't remember that really well. Uh Real Bobby B just lost just lost£300 in Steelers Bar playing a bloke for money. I was following the Snooker Loopy tutorial as recommended by Andrew. As you suggested the lyrics might be a tutorial for playing Snooker. Yeah, yeah, but it's not Bobby B. When Snooker Loopy came out, my motor said the line, Snooker, Loopy, nuts are we, we're all fucking cocking these.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:50

Yeah, I can see that. I always hear that now. They were, weren't they? We were talking earlier actually about Blur because you're not a Blur fan at all. Blur could have easily done Snooker Loopy and no one would have batted an eyelid. Snooker loopy, not so we're snooze, we're all snooker, loopy. Dang, round, round, round. Yeah.

High Street Shops We Miss

SPEAKER_10 1:07:08

Yeah. Uh brief that brief that one. We move on to shops. So this is shops no longer on the high street. Uh Matt, you could easily have done five or six shows across these lost shops. Electrical shops one week, department stores the next, toy shops, food outlets, etc. Lost cinemas is another gold mine for a memory.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:26

Uh uh Ange actually, I don't know if she's on the comments, but she said that we should do Sheffield in the 90s and 80s. Um we don't want to make it too localised because obviously we've got people who don't who listen to us.

SPEAKER_10 1:07:37

Some of these people have come from Stokes.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:39

Yes. Some of these people listen from fucking Carlisle with Major Charles. Um we don't want to like make it too but we we'll we will do it. We will do it.

SPEAKER_10 1:07:49

Yeah, and I think Angie's initially sort of requested sort of nightclubs that have gone and some of the bars and stuff.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:54

So that's another thing that we can do today.

SPEAKER_10 1:07:55

We will do something around that, yeah. Um I mean lost cinemas and Odeon.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:01

Is it still going? So it's gonna be the same again, though, innit? It's gonna be listening things.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:05

Yeah, you listed things that are still there, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:07

You remember Odeon?

SPEAKER_10 1:08:08

I mean, only big one I can think of, it's the first cinema I ever went to, and this is very Sheffield related, but became Kingdom Nightclub, and I can't remember what that one was. No, uh where Cole Brothers is.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:19

I've never watched a film.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:21

Yep, never seen a film. Uh Eggie. Uh I don't think there was a time I went downtown and didn't go to Sugsport, you know, it's just to look at football. Yeah, it was a staple part. Yeah. Because I because I think as well, like sometimes if my mum didn't want to buy me anything, she could kind of at least give me that little look round Sugsport. Probably stood there like bored to death, but while I could just look at so I have someone I don't know if it's in the comments, but actually, really good memory. Somebody said Dart flights. I used to go sometimes buy some flights for darts and that shit flights, aren't they? Um Chango Mutley, uh Knotts also had a Sugsports and a BTS.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:01

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:09:02

So they weren't Sheffield. So see, we all we are dealing with other people. Uh the child of dreams of owning a Subaru Subaru rat radio control car.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:09:13

Is it Subaru Rally?

SPEAKER_04 1:09:15

Rally, I think. You can't you can't spell. That's twice now. We've had problems with JP for we've met him before.

SPEAKER_10 1:09:23

Listen, he's a good guy in person. But he's not he's not necessarily let us down, but yeah. No, if me's a rally thing, yeah, I absolutely agree. Uh Subaru Rat.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:35

It might be me.

SPEAKER_10 1:09:36

Again, yeah, again, yeah, to be fair, to JP. That could very easily be you. He might actually want Subaru Rat. And it might actually be that that was a thing that we don't know about, and we're making ourselves sound absolutely ridiculous. Uh Alexandria, we had a beat a beat is in Redin. Thanks for the reminder.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:54

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it it reached as far as Redding, like in the south.

SPEAKER_10 1:10:00

Where where's Reading? It's still is it Redding's still North London, is it?

SPEAKER_04 1:10:03

It's very similar to where it offers with films, Slough and fucking Winnershaw.

SPEAKER_10 1:10:07

Uh no, Winurch.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:08

Yeah, Winurch, sorry, yeah, Winurch, yeah, you know.

SPEAKER_10 1:10:11

Yeah. Um I remember Happy Shopper. I think you still get Happy Shoppers. I'm I might be wrong. I think you still get Happy Shopper. During the 1991-92 season, Rumblows held a competition to find the quickest footballer in England.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:10:27

Uh players won football while completed.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:30

Yeah, so what they did is that uh there were a race between the quickest footballer of every team. Right. Uh race each other. Have you seen this?

SPEAKER_10 1:10:38

Kind of sounds familiar.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:39

Oh, it's amazing. They're running the kits as well. Yeah. John Williams won uh Swan to City. Our man, uh, Cheff United fans, uh, Adrian Little John came third.

SPEAKER_10 1:10:50

Yeah, that's funny though, because I never I don't remember him as being like lightning quick little job.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:54

You were bloody quick, Adrian Littlejohn.

SPEAKER_10 1:10:56

Yeah, I wouldn't. Surprise me a little bit that. Um Sad Ken. Tried pet sounds on numerous occasions, can't get into it.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:04

Not head.

unknown 1:11:04

No.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:07

It's a brilliant album, I think, though. But to be fair, we went to um we went to see Adam Follett's band actually, uh, doing the um not bootleg Beatles, Sheffield Beatles project. And they did uh pet sounds before like they came on to do the Beatles. I preferred the Pet Sounds thing, but everyone that literally like I think like five people that I were with, they were all saying this is shit, but what why are you doing what why are they doing this? Pet Sounds for me is better than any Beatles album, but anyway.

SPEAKER_10 1:11:36

Pet Sounds is that one that will always be in the top three, whoever does the chart because kind of feels it has to be there.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:42

It's brilliant, it's an amazing album, but you know, fair play to Sad Ken gets his own probably by his side.

SPEAKER_10 1:11:48

Yeah. Um Sports Directs Cups, yeah. Do you know what? I'm 100% on board with this because I I have done this myself. Sports Directs Cups are an excellent gravy making vessel. Uh I worked for a company that fitted out video uh Sad Ken's touching on the uh the old remembering nerves here. Work for a company that fitted out video stores, choices videos. There's one in Crookes, I was fitting it out. Choices videos yeah, we had a choices in Drumfield.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:15

I don't remember Choices Videos.

SPEAKER_10 1:12:16

I might be wrong, maybe I definitely used to go to Choices Videos. I think there was choices in videos before it became Blockbuster.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:26

Well maybe.

SPEAKER_10 1:12:28

Might be wrong there. Anyway. Certainly remember choices. Uh John, we had a Sugsport in Donny, so they're all over the place, weren't they? Uh I remember buying many sets, yeah. This is the one I was thinking about. I remember buying many sets of dark flights from them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, Woolley was amazing for kids in the 80s. Uh, Isle after aisle of Transformers, He-Man, Thundercats, and Mask. So, yeah, dude. I think this is why Woolworths were so great, because it did have that feel that anything were possible, you could get anything. Yeah, I sort of saw it as a toy shop and a sweet shop, but it wasn't. It had everything in it.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:00

And a music shop. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:05

But I think they saw like hose pipes and things like that as well. So, you know, you could get it all.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:08

I think as a kid that would have been laughing a major life, sort of. Mum could have a hose pipe for Christmas.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:15

Go and look at hose pipes. Uh Alex, GT News does exist in Meadowhall.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:20

It's where you get some sweets for the cinema for your tight horse like me.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:23

Well, I'm going on Tuesday to Meadowhall with my dad. I am going on Tuesday. I am going on Tuesday to Meadowhall with my dad. I had been for about genuinely about ten years. Uh it's his birthday coming up, so I said I'd buy him somehow. So I will take him to GT News. I might take him to Sh News.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:41

I think I think it's at the In the Oasis on the bottom floor. The bottom of the escalators up towards the cinema, I think.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:49

Realistically, I'm not going to take him there, but anyway.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:54

Alright, another pause because we're at the end of that.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:56

I've got nearly the end now.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:57

We've only got fashion to go, but I'm getting low on battery. Do you want to just finish it?

SPEAKER_04 1:14:01

Yeah, finish it off, fuck it.

90s Fashion Wins And Regrets

SPEAKER_10 1:14:02

Alright. So the last one we're going to talk about tonight is the fashion episode, 90s fashion. Yeah, and the major kind of gets you straight into it because your sound quality was appalling, but uh Well, I'll tell you, behind the curtain, what happened here is that you were recording underwater, weren't you?

SPEAKER_04 1:14:23

No, I yeah, I yeah, I recorded like from uh from the River Dawn. Um I have got new internet, which is good, and I thought I'll check this new internet out on my laptop that's shit to see what it sounds like, and that's the answer. Yeah, we we've had a big rile actually near the end of the podcast.

SPEAKER_10 1:14:45

A couple of arguments about I don't think you understand that I understand, I know what you're saying, it's the drivers, not not the the laptop, but we're not one of them going to that the major, a great episode where Liam is remembering 90s fashion, and Andrew is remembering what it sounds like to communicate with string and two empty cans. Yeah, I mean some people actually like well, we'll get into comments. Some people actually quite like the retro feel. Yeah, and this is a fantastic comment as well, uh, from Craig. Good Arroy to truly get into the nostalgic spirit and make his audio sound like it's from the 90s. Fantastic dedication.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:25

Yeah. So yeah, you it did sound like a like a football phone in, like, I tell you what, Seth.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:33

I thought you let us down, but people seem to like it.

SPEAKER_10 1:15:36

Well, yeah, yeah, I mean, well, well, in fact, no, I'm not gonna say it. We're gonna crack today. Because I think again, I think it's comments. I'm not not gonna say it, but yeah, Nox, uh think you stumbled across something quite special here, lads. Keeping Andrew's vocals retro fits in nicely with the podcast. Unique selling point.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:55

Yeah, possibly, but probably really shit to listen to as well.

SPEAKER_10 1:15:59

Uh yeah, I like this one. Um because I don't think we did ask him, but I think we know the answer. LJD, ask me which dickhead blew 60 quid on and I did a shell suit and then tried to iron it. I think I know who did that.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:13

Yeah, I think it's LJD though, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:16:16

I mean the the it's mad to put an iron on it, because the famous thing was you kind of can't go anywhere too hot in a shell suit.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:23

I'm pissing myself. Like, what a mad thing to do that is like yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:16:27

I think what's funny as well is like, do you know, sometimes you do something wrong and you think, oh this I think the second that I entered a shell suit, it must just melted around it. Ah shit.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:37

Ah shit.

SPEAKER_10 1:16:39

Uh nav shell suits should be turned I love this. Like this this is educational content from the podcast via nav. Shell suits should be turned inside out when being dried on the radiator.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:49

Brilliant from Nav. Honestly, Nav is our best.

SPEAKER_10 1:16:51

Correct. Factual.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:52

I'm not swagging anyone else off, but he's by far our best listener now. Because he always comes anyone else off.

SPEAKER_10 1:17:00

But you're all shit compared to now.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:02

Because he always comes in with something I think, ah, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:17:06

Again, it's Johnny Vaughn, it's it's a golden bullet. A genius bullet to the centre of the forehead, yeah. But now and I I do remember that, and I remember that being a thing that like my mum would say, like, oh well, I'm gonna have to turn this inside out when I dry it. I don't know if it made any difference, but it was certainly a thing. Bill and Blaine just just reached Eridas Pop as bit literally huge over here. Uh, one in three people under 25s wear them in Berlin.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:30

I'll tell you why, because Germany. I'm slagging all Germans off here.

SPEAKER_10 1:17:34

But yeah, you're turning on everyone here, aren't you?

SPEAKER_04 1:17:37

Going for Argy. Uh the 30 years behind. They kept mullets at nighties.

SPEAKER_10 1:17:43

Well, we were saying today that they still got mullets in Germany.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:46

Yeah, they kept mullets at nighties. I think they're just like they don't catch up quite as quick.

SPEAKER_09 1:17:51

Like, I don't know if it has to do with the This podcast will be massive in 30 years, won't it, in Germany?

unknown 1:17:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:17:56

Have you heard the uh Who Remembers? They recorded it 13 years ago.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:02

Yeah, I I just think they're a little bit behind. Like they they need a bit of time to catch up.

SPEAKER_10 1:18:06

I I can't believe you've gone you've gone after everyone here. Um I love that that sort of start. I mean, we've we've doubted Berlin Blaine before, haven't we? Like we've got to be careful. No, no, I'm not I'm not doubting him. I just love the accuracy of these stats. One in three people under 25.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:18:22

That's it. It's not like uh most young people wear them.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:26

Maybe Berlin Blaine's 30 years behind the time, that's why he went to Germany. Oh come on. Maybe no, no, no, no. I mean, this in a good way. We're doing a nostalgia podcast.

SPEAKER_10 1:18:34

I apologize, Berlin Blair. This is unacceptable.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:37

SPEAKER_10 1:19:05

We do not condone underage drinking. No, bit we're all but I know what it means, though, yeah. It's probably exactly the same for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I share your uncondonable view there, it's alright. Uh Jay Stacy, great episode. But you're right, you haven't done the girls justice.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:20

Yeah, sexist episode, though.

SPEAKER_10 1:19:23

SPEAKER_10 1:20:55

We'll put this on our live living maid with him. Uh and Webding to finish us off for the last comment we're going to talk about tonight as part of this episode. Uh, incredibly fast wrap-up after Roy's Roger Taylor admission. Almost like a certain time of Facebook bursting the door down.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:12

Yeah, so I'm saying that Roger Taylor looked attractive as a schoolgirl. Uh schoolgirl as a 40-year-old man.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:20

Hold on, let's break that down.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:22

Roger Taylor was attractive as a schoolgirl.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:25

Yeah, dressed as a schoolgirl. But as a 40-year-old man.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:32

Is that so what are we saying that is attractive for if you've got rank 40-year-old men dressed as schoolgirls, he's up there.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:42

To be honest, I've not seen many other people at 40 dressed as schoolgirls. All I'm saying is, what he likes.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:50

I think it's worth mentioning your screen saving your phone is Roger Taylor as a schoolgirl, isn't it?

SPEAKER_04 1:21:55

Yeah. So all I'm saying is, I looked at him and I thought, nah. Yeah, see why people like that. As a uh a straight man.

SPEAKER_09 1:22:08

And God knows he wants to break free.
