Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds. Recently, I asked

0:02

Mint Mobile's legal team if big wireless

0:04

companies are allowed to raise prices due

0:06

to inflation. They said yes. And then

0:09

when I asked if raising prices technically

0:11

violates those onerous two-year contracts, they said,

0:13

what the f*** are you talking about,

0:15

you insane Hollywood a*****e? So to

0:17

recap, we're cutting the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a

0:19

month to just $15 a month. Give

1:10

Andy Hope Bodiedor some PowerPapow. I'm Sam Nisti Delaney.

1:12

So what? Welcome

1:15

along to the list in the

1:18

Pig Odyssey. Probably the

1:20

world's most wide ranging study

1:22

in podcast form at least

1:25

of pigs that's ever been attempted so far.

1:27

Are you feeling nervous, Sam? What

1:30

about the pressure that's on us to deliver? Yeah,

1:32

because I'm beginning to feel it every

1:34

time we sit down to do one of these.

1:36

The world's eyes. Feelings though were contributing to history

1:38

and, you know, the pressure is on.

1:41

I feel like, I feel like what's

1:43

his name? James Herriot. All

1:46

creatures great and small, you know,

1:48

like he was a great documenter

1:51

of natural life, wasn't he?

1:54

Yeah. Did you ever

1:56

see the series about his childhood which was

1:58

called My Family and I? their animals. No

2:02

that was Gerald Doral. Oh fuck it. My

2:06

family knew their animals because I know that because we read

2:08

that at school. Well Gerald Doral,

2:10

is he the same sort of

2:12

caper like animals? No it's

2:14

completely different. Right what was his life? See

2:16

Gerald Doral, he

2:18

grew up abroad somewhere on an island and

2:21

there was exotic animals and stuff that it

2:23

wasn't just coming or going. Yeah about. You

2:25

know like pigs and rats and stuff. Okay

2:27

but he's still into animals. Oh he's into

2:29

animals yeah. Both deep. Yeah

2:32

thank God. But James Herriot,

2:35

that's not his real name. His real

2:38

name was, because he's not with us anymore,

2:40

his real name was Alf White and

2:42

white spelled as in the Isle of White not

2:44

as in white the colour. And

2:48

he grew up, well I don't know if he grew up

2:50

there but he lived in Thirsk which

2:52

is a place of interest to top flight

2:54

time machine. Yeah. Of course the location of

2:56

one of our greatest ever large shows. He

3:00

practiced as a vet obviously

3:02

because that's how he got all the stories in

3:06

Thirsk it was called Alf White and I

3:08

think he was the life president of Sunlun

3:10

Football Club. He was a Sunlun fan as

3:13

well. Yeah. So that's all the stuff

3:15

I know about James Herriot. That and the fact that he used

3:17

to stick his hand up cow's arses. Mate

3:19

that's a lot. That's actually a

3:21

lot of information you've just delivered

3:23

on Doral and Herriot. So give

3:26

yourself a small round of applause because of

3:28

the cup that's pretty good. I didn't know

3:30

either of those names were going to come

3:32

up but they did and you just were

3:35

like bang I've got data on both the

3:37

cup. Yeah well I got lucky.

3:39

I mean I think there's like a

3:41

you can visit maybe James Herriot's vet

3:44

surgery now in Thirsk or maybe there's

3:46

some kind of museum

3:49

or whatever I'm not sure. Well that was

3:51

where you know all creatures great and small.

3:53

I feel like it's the sort of show

3:55

that Was always on on

3:57

a Saturday I think. The.

4:00

On. A When we were kids, I

4:02

didn't watch it much more. Say, a show

4:05

that you could describe as lovingly. Yeah,

4:09

was lovely. Put on a bit of an

4:11

edge to it. Says Roma Hardy played the

4:13

elder of that, the phone and brothers and

4:15

that was he. raises a of was he

4:17

the equivalent of for suck. Specific

4:20

it was basically the prove ice

4:22

so banal as a that three

4:25

servicemen seen six of acid and

4:27

they thought right we need an

4:29

absence of this is the American

4:32

yeah like I the Americans have

4:34

coffee knocked out the part this

4:36

side we make the British version

4:39

of it. And. Damn that's

4:41

I thought that's what Cripple prescribed Small

4:43

was our own suck the same may

4:45

two blokes they got car. Lengths.

4:48

Of Smear handy. the coffee of

4:51

that. They've got costs and damn

4:53

there in the countryside and desert.

4:55

And there's a silver pull the

4:58

bus bigger slice property. And

5:00

yards away was alba some tricks of

5:02

acids and that admit that guy was

5:04

bus hope. No

5:07

one. He was one of the brothers. He

5:09

was part of the same aura he was.

5:11

Rocky was what's his name.earth Doctor is of

5:13

it's him. A secret service of a zoo.

5:16

tourists. There is a timothy the men christmas hims

5:18

he was the gang of the voice I've is

5:20

so I resent it. Him: you know when I

5:22

was there when I was a voice i a

5:24

busy voiceover I see but added presenting he was

5:26

like. Him. In his barcode and right

5:28

how they were like Sabbath the ball on

5:31

of and right turns out as the benchmark

5:33

ride. Those are the guys who will I

5:35

be real one? it's to bed. At

5:39

Sir Christopher Timothy was like

5:41

a and an elaborate be a

5:43

lovely velvety voice reassured trustworthy,

5:45

real, real than yours, yet similar.

5:48

Yes, yeah, Lott dod my

5:50

eyes, you must plan in

5:52

me round. sounds like that There

5:54

and the yet not twenty

5:56

first century. Chris? What's him as saying? Right?

6:00

Would love to be a bit surreal

6:02

because we're looking for a new voice

6:04

of of the Imperial lead the South

6:06

and we want a Christmas timothy but

6:08

we he's gonna be crunchy as he's

6:10

got older so we can't wait to

6:12

it is got a ransom wet sand

6:14

delaney am taste the script to get

6:23

as a oppose out out of five

6:26

said i. First

6:28

of all his voice was an excellent what

6:30

we are expecting. A More than

6:32

what we're twins and ought to be proud

6:35

of. what you described him as unsustainable. He's

6:37

he strayed from the script pretty radically. I

6:39

mean, we're hiring a voice. I rise,

6:41

not script writer. Know he doesn't say Stoneham

6:44

he. he He insists some free sign in

6:46

with the screen T is. Is that

6:48

a deal breaker for him? He will never

6:50

6:55

You mentioned then rights unless

9:12

Martellus live in the Dawson's right to

9:16

because in the old they the i

9:19

would you do voice overs he was

9:21

he got repeats right which meant that

9:23

you would agree a fee to record

9:25

a which would be fairly large viewer

9:27

myself but then on top of that.

9:30

You would guess that amount every time he

9:32

when amp of you doing i'm afraid campaign

9:34

for a major brands that was running ads

9:36

or law in prime time slots you'd be

9:38

getting systems and sometimes it would run forever

9:45

have a couple of small his campaign's my

9:47

debate that them on how what they do

9:49

is that by you out so that of

9:51

are you a lump sum and then that

9:53

would give them the rhine almost to run

9:55

the add as many times as they wanted,

9:57

unsatisfying on the face, got reduced and blah

9:59

blah blah. Enter I tell road

10:01

the way before it got reform rise

10:03

and he and am legend had a

10:05

the what he would do is he

10:08

would turn up in so how with

10:10

or without Book Kittens Nine O'clock. Sit.

10:12

In Nyc Been Mccaffrey and then is Today

10:15

went on in the pub right? I'm just

10:17

11:11

from my bedroom window united describing

the scene of like see a

11:15

semi retired Californian luxury by the

11:17

state Of course there was have

11:19

any. wasn't quite where we're at

11:21

now you could record voice as

12:12

aspect you know it would

12:14

have been goggling with honey every day he

12:16

would have had a large towel in his

12:18

heyday throat war in his heyday yes he

12:20

would have been like that but you go and

12:23

say my time I said to him yeah keep

12:25

me hand in if a job comes up that

12:27

I find motivates me if it's a project that

12:29

has a philosophy I believe in such

12:32

as yeah a worldwide Febreze

12:34

campaign by Saatchi and Saatchi

12:37

I may I may do it as long

12:39

as it takes me no more than five fucking

12:41

minutes and I don't have to leave my house

12:43

right back in the day of course I got

12:46

a gig and I

12:49

did the the smash hits chart

12:52

show which was a collaboration

12:54

between Channel 5 and smash hits

12:56

the magazine and and it

12:59

was like me voicing the chart in the end

13:01

it turned into another show called the chart which

13:03

ran for a couple of years right but when

13:05

it first started for the pilot episode I had

13:09

this show on Channel 5 called the edit

13:11

it ran for a year and then the

13:14

commissioning bloke producer guy Channel 5 he goes

13:16

that's how we're not renewing

13:18

we're not really in your contract right

13:21

it's a simple as this it's a you're gonna

13:24

renew my contract I mean I was

13:26

pretty young so I could sort of take it in

13:28

the stride no however I didn't

13:30

have many overheads and

13:32

I was like oh okay that's the

13:35

same they ever come out there another

13:37

television program and he went well I

13:39

tell you what I'm gonna give you we're

13:41

doing it we're gonna start doing a chart

13:43

show but it's voice only right and

13:46

he said something like oh but so it's

13:48

just voiceover we want you to

13:50

sort of co-write the script with the producer and

13:52

then like basically you're doing a countdown the chart you're

13:55

doing links over pop songs every week right not in

13:57

the voice that you do it on cheer machine these

13:59

days though No, I had to do

14:01

it in my in the voice that I was

14:03

I was using in the early noughties, right? Because

14:07

I was doing the MTV continuity as

14:09

well this week on the Kardashians,

14:11

right and all that stuff I was doing all

14:13

the fucking MTV stuff So

14:15

I had a I could come back, you know that

14:17

could come back on the back of this podcast her

14:20

name No, I'll tell you

14:22

there's a nice There's a couple of store

14:24

tragic stories about the way in which my

14:26

my the heyday of my voiceover works came

14:28

crashing down But on this

14:30

particular was just before you voice broke them were

14:32

you bit like Once

14:36

you've my balls didn't drop until I

14:38

was 32, which was which a

14:40

lot of people tease me about But it

14:42

was actually quite lucrative It

14:45

was the making of me. Yeah. No, so

14:47

he goes look you can do

14:49

this show and it'll mean the you know You

14:51

got something to keep earning some money out

14:53

of it. I think he was throwing me a bone You know,

14:55

it was nice of him. He's a nice guy So

14:58

I go alright and I thought well I need this it was quite good

15:00

money And

15:02

on the pilot show I had

15:04

to get they were sending a taxi for

15:07

me to go to some studio in East London

15:09

But in the days leading up to it I

15:12

I don't know what I've been doing

15:14

probably not living a good lifestyle and

15:17

my voice was fucked Right. I fucked

15:19

my throat like big time. This is

15:21

fucking sod's law here, right? I've

15:25

got this new voice job coming out and

15:27

this is gonna come and fuck me So

15:30

I went to the GP and I told him I

15:32

said listen I've got a new job and it just

15:35

relies on my voice and if I miss this pilot

15:37

episode They'll have to get someone else to do it

15:39

and then that's it. So he is contract fucked You

15:42

got to give me whatever it takes stop to

15:44

fix his throat now and the

15:46

doctor's gonna help me duck It was like

15:48

that and the doc said alright what I

15:50

wouldn't usually do this But what I'm gonna

15:52

do is I'm gonna give you steroids, right

15:54

and it came in a like an asthma

15:56

inhaler But it was a steroid and he

15:58

said if you take couple of

16:00

puffs on that in the morning within

16:02

two to three days the steroids are very strong

16:05

and it'll heal your throat but it's

16:07

very strong I only take two sprays

16:09

well you know me Andy I was

16:11

never gonna fucking moderate this fucking thing

16:13

right this this is what killed

16:16

Keith Moon steroids on pills

16:18

to make him stop wanting our booze

16:20

and he was just popping them like smarties in the end yeah

16:23

no control over it yeah that's the problem so I got you

16:25

survived I got I got this inhale

16:27

I almost didn't because I

16:29

started fucking smashing into this inhaler right because

16:31

after the first go I could feel it

16:33

working almost immediately steroids are mad like that

16:35

aren't they they're like magical

16:38

so like this is fucking great I'm

16:41

not only is my voice gonna get back to

16:43

normal I think it might go beyond normal and

16:45

get better than it ever was so I'm like

16:47

bang bang bang bang super

16:49

voice the morning came and my girlfriend's

16:51

going fuck sake lay off that fucking

16:53

inhaler and I'm like now I need

16:56

to make sure I'm double fucking good

16:58

jalapeno Millions

17:02

of people have lost weight with personalized

17:05

plans from Noom. Like Evan, who can't

17:07

stand salads and still lost 50 pounds.

17:10

Salads generally for most people are the easy

17:12

The taxi turns up, right? Oh no, so it was

18:02

in East London, it was Primrose Hill it was

18:04

taking me to, so I remember, that's how the

18:06

argument started. I've got in the back of this

18:08

cab and I'm fucking still at it. Bang! Puff,

18:11

puff, puff, steroid, steroid, steroid. And

18:14

I've just gone fucking bananas, because we get,

18:16

it was before Satmav and we've got within

18:19

the general vicinity of Primrose Hill. And

18:21

we had some argument, because I'd said it

18:23

was like Primrose Hill Road or something, and

18:26

he'd just literally taken me to the hill itself,

18:28

the mad cunt. And he's going, get

18:30

down, that's the hill, that's Primrose Hill, guys. Well,

18:32

it's not fucking up there, I'm here to fucking

18:34

record a chart show. They're not doing it on

18:36

the top of a fucking hill, you mad cunt.

18:39

Don't talk to me like that, and the

18:41

whole time I'm going, smash, smash, smash, and

18:43

I've gone fucking mad. Puff, puff, puff, puff,

18:45

puff. I go, start the fucking car, and

18:47

he won't stop us. So I'm starting to

18:49

fucking kick in the back of his seat

18:51

like a maniac. Fucking bang, stop the fucking

18:53

car, and he's like, ahh. And

18:56

he stopped the car and I fucking jumped out,

18:58

trying to pull his paw out, putting everything. He's

19:00

like, you're fucking crazy, go up that fucking hill.

19:02

I'm like, I'm not going to have that fucking

19:04

hill. As if they recorded out there. He can't

19:06

make up the fucking hill. Right.

19:09

And in the end, he's just sped off. A chart show,

19:12

right? Up the fucking hill. I'm

19:14

fucking fuming, right? Anyway,

19:16

I've managed to walk around, find the

19:18

studio, go in, calm down, do the show, find, in

19:21

the end it ran for a year. In the end

19:23

it was called just the chart. But

19:27

I was like, fucking hell, I lost my

19:29

fucking marbles. I went back home

19:32

and my girlfriend called me from work and said, how did it

19:34

go? Did you get there? Did you get the job? Because we

19:36

were like, oh fuck, this could pay the rent, you know. And

19:39

I'm like, yeah, I got there, the show went alright. But

19:41

I lost my rack, I started trying to smash, I had

19:44

an argument with the minicab driver. I started

19:46

to try and smash up the minicab, and he

19:48

threw me out. And

19:50

she said, fuck's sake, throw that inhaler in the fucking

19:52

bin. He told you just to

19:54

have two pumps every morning. You're absolutely

19:57

smashing it, you had fucking roid rage. That's

20:00

why I had, because it wasn't really in

20:02

character for me to go that far, not

20:04

that early in the morning. And

20:08

it was just fucking roid rage. But

20:10

on the good side of it, I did get

20:13

that job. And then it was that job that

20:15

led to all the other advertising voiceover work that

20:17

came in after. But then after

20:19

a few years of riding high on the

20:21

hog, with that as my side hustle,

20:25

my best mate was working in

20:27

promos. But at Ska, Ska

20:29

Sports. And so he hired

20:32

voiceover artists a lot, but never me.

20:34

Ska Sports was not one of my

20:36

places. My voice didn't fit. I

20:38

was doing all the youth culture stuff. But

20:41

then I'm struggling for a bit. The

20:44

work seems to have slowed down after

20:46

two years of back-to-back fucking work. A

20:48

combination of advertising work, which is the

20:50

most lucrative, and the continuity

20:53

on MTV and various other channels,

20:56

right? Bravo, etc. And

20:58

it started to slow down. I'm starting to get

21:00

pissed off. I'm paranoid. I don't fucking know why.

21:02

But then, as luck would have it, my best

21:04

mate goes freelance. And I go,

21:06

great, now you're freelance. I know they didn't use me at

21:08

Ska, but you'll be going to other places where you can

21:10

use me. Teeth's not using me. Every

21:12

time I see him, I go, why didn't you fucking book me yet,

21:14

mate? I mean, fuck's sake. I need some money. And

21:17

then he's working at MTV. And I go, MTV? I've

21:20

been doing, I was the main continuity guy for the last

21:22

two years. And he's got to get me there. And he

21:24

goes, oh, I'll try. I'll try. I'll try.

21:26

In the end, I've got to go, I'm a bit pissed

21:28

off about this now, actually. It's like you're purposely avoiding hiring

21:30

me because I'm your mate. And you're doing it to look

21:32

like nepotism. But for your sake, you

21:35

need a bit of nepotism. And he's

21:37

been saying that. I didn't want to tell you this. But

21:41

on my first day, a new

21:44

creative director started in the promos

21:46

department. And he sat us

21:48

all down. And he played out a selection

21:50

of promos and continuity

21:52

bits from the last year. And

21:55

he wanted to know his new vision. These people

21:57

are fucking visions. All they're doing is putting the

21:59

fucking. Oh shit fucking little things

22:01

in between the TV shows right be in

22:03

their head They think they're fucking school season

22:06

and he's got of course what they want to

22:08

do is just get rid of whatever had gone

22:11

before Cuz then it makes it look like they're

22:13

bringing something new to the table He obviously is

22:15

not what happened. He obviously didn't know my best

22:17

mate was my best mate But he's played back

22:19

you blacklisted to back to back things with my

22:21

voice on and he's gone Oh this voice belongs

22:23

to a man called Sandalene. I

22:25

never want to hear it on this

22:28

channel ever again Hahahahaha

22:32

Oh And

22:34

he didn't explain why or at least my

22:36

mate didn't tell I said my mate told

22:38

me this and I felt really bad for

22:40

my mate He's like he's

22:42

my best mate. He's like a lovely guy and he's

22:44

really like He's a

22:47

gentle man. He's gentle and he's gentle

22:49

and he hates awkward situations Like he

22:51

hates conflict and opposite and I've been

22:53

giving him so much stick. Why you

22:56

gave me some work, right? And

22:58

then he's had to just tell me and I could tell he'd been

23:01

holding him for ages He didn't want to tell me but he had

23:03

to tell me she was the only way to shut me up and

23:05

make it clear That it was never gonna happen

23:08

and I said, oh fuck Did

23:10

he say why and he went no he just left

23:13

it at that and we all made a note of

23:15

your name And I said what everyone in the room

23:17

actually wrote down my name goes. Yeah, you go I

23:19

said, did you guys know I didn't have to because I

23:21

was obviously gonna remember it. Yeah Hahahahaha

23:25

Hahahahaha The

23:28

sound of Lady Ira is the today

23:30

is that me? forever Shall

23:33

we tell him? No, he'll find

23:35

out soon enough The

23:39

hard way Fucking

23:41

hell and then and then not long after

23:43

that I found out I

23:46

lost my long-running Juris cell campaign which

23:48

I told you this oh, yeah course when I

23:50

gathered the kids around when they were just sentient

23:53

enough to understand I was doing the jury cell

23:55

bunny hat. So I went elk is that your

23:57

select have around this is daddy's one gap

23:59

around All excited, gets to the

24:02

end, some other cunts doing the Dura-Sell

24:04

last longer, every time. I'll go, eh,

24:06

one of the kids goes, that's not

24:08

your life! And I go, you

24:10

know what? You're fucking right, it isn't. Go

24:14

bed, kids! Eh, everyone go to bed! That's

24:17

the bed I need to think! That

24:19

it is the bed! Exactly, it was one of

24:21

those. Don't

24:25

he needs to strategize! It

24:27

was exactly like that. And

24:30

I had to call my agent and they just said,

24:32

oh yeah, they're booking someone else now. No one ever

24:34

tells you, mate! You never get out, you

24:36

never, no one tells you. Just stop swinging! Yeah,

24:40

yeah. I mean, that's why,

24:42

that's why hopefully we're fairly secure with

24:44

doing this podcast. Nobody can tell us

24:46

it's over. Well, the listeners can't by

24:48

not listening anymore, but at the

24:50

minute, it seems alright. Couldn't someone like Buxton

24:52

call up and say, the guys we've got

24:54

together? I don't think so.

24:56

I'm afraid we're removing your license. You know

24:58

that Boris Johnson's had his Commons parts removed.

25:02

Yeah, yeah. We're

25:04

going to get cancelled, I suppose. So, John? You probably will

25:06

do at some point, just when you were said. So, John

25:09

Patreon? Yeah, yeah,

25:11

maybe. We'll get cancelled with something we said,

25:13

you know, five years ago or something. That'll

25:15

be, I love it, right? Respectively. Danny Dye

25:18

was on his West End podcast recently and

25:20

I absolutely loved listening to him. He's always

25:22

like, he's full of so much great

25:24

wisdom, in my opinion. And they're talking to him about

25:26

work and stuff and he's so honest. Oh, fuck it.

25:28

You know, like I did it. And they're talking to

25:30

him about that Hooligan program that he did. And he

25:32

goes, yeah, people always ask me that. It was a

25:35

good family. He goes, but at the end of the

25:37

day, like, I'm not a half man. I'm not, I

25:39

don't like any of that. He goes, I did it.

25:41

And they go, why did you do it? It's like,

25:43

we always say, mate, well, people don't

25:45

understand this. They think because they've seen you on

25:47

telly that you got like endless money. You go,

25:49

I was skin. I was borrowing money off my mum. He

25:52

goes, I got kids. So,

25:54

if work comes along, I do the work. So,

25:57

make a show about Hooliganism.

26:00

I'll go, alright, if you're paying me, I'll

26:02

fucking do it. Right? And

26:04

I really like that attitude. And then he goes, yeah,

26:07

and then I left these tenders, that was a good earner, but now

26:09

I've just got to work again. And he goes, and I go, well,

26:11

how do you choose what you're doing? And he goes, well, the thing

26:14

is, he goes, the thing about me is, I'm

26:16

a fucking live cannon, aren't I? He

26:18

goes, I'm a, no, he goes, I'm a loose

26:21

cannon. He goes, something I've either said or I'm

26:23

going to say, well, at any moment, get me

26:25

cancelled and I'll never work again. So that's why

26:27

every day I have to just keep working as

26:30

much as I can. Because I know sooner or

26:32

later I will just get stopped. It will bleed.

26:34

Yeah. Yeah. And I thought,

26:36

yeah, respect. I was thinking about this yesterday.

26:38

I was driving along and thinking, it's

26:41

all going really well. I've got a couple of podcasts on the go. Quite

26:44

nice. Making a reasonable amount of money for

26:46

me. But something that I don't even know

26:48

exists could come along. Yeah. And

26:50

blow it all away. Oh, yeah. Wow. You

26:53

know what I mean? Like a technological thing, something like, you know,

26:55

AI is coming. You've got no idea where AI is going to

26:58

lead to. Something

27:00

could happen that could just reduce us

27:02

to nothing. Yeah, but you knew.

27:04

But that's not what I'm thinking about.

27:07

Beyond our control. Yes, beyond your control. So don't contemplate

27:09

it. That's what I say. I wasn't

27:12

worried about it. If anything, I

27:14

was excited about what it might be. I

27:17

call any challenge an opportunity. How

27:21

can I twist it? I welcome challenges. Shoot me. I

27:24

welcome challenges. I don't call them

27:26

challenges. I call them opportunity opportunities.

27:28

Opportunities? No, opportunity opportunities. Yeah. Because

27:32

it's an opportunity for an opportunity to

27:35

happen. Yeah. Oh,

27:37

also someone either emailed or tweeted

27:39

us a picture of Bear Griller's

27:41

face after he'd eaten that bit. That

27:43

bit, yeah. And it all swelled up.

27:45

So that was good. Thanks for having us. No wonder

27:47

you were driving along thinking life's going well. That was

27:49

probably what triggered that line of thought. Yeah. I

27:52

think I got a couple of podcasts. Like

27:55

the kids are happy and on top of that, someone's

27:57

just sent me a picture of Bear Griller's face swelled

27:59

up. up from a B off of a B but

28:03

what about the thing what what it was swallows and

28:05

wasps and we can't speak anymore

28:07

then what I will AI generate my

28:09

voice I've it I'll type it and

28:11

then it'll be read out I mean

28:13

technology today it could probably simulate my

28:16

voice anyway AI and I just

28:18

like the way I can probably simulate

28:20

new episodes if we just feed every previous

28:22

episode in and we can

28:24

just generate new ones yeah that that's a

28:27

bit of a threat it

28:29

percent good enough the

28:31

thing is mate yeah I don't know what

28:33

what because this because we have studiously stuck

28:35

to our values of never

28:37

planning or making any effort for

28:40

this show that is what

28:42

as you can still instilled it

28:44

with a unique anarchy

28:47

I would say that it's

28:49

impossible for any computer to

28:51

recreate because you don't get

28:53

you can access what's gonna happen on top

28:55

flight time yeah because we don't know so

28:59

I mean I didn't I didn't foresee

29:01

when we started doing the Premier League

29:03

seasons in 2018 that five years down

29:05

the line we'd be doing something called

29:07

the pig Odyssey and it'll just be

29:09

about episode episode five or whatever

29:11

with this one is contains nothing at all about

29:13

pigs no because we're nearly at an end now

29:16

aren't they we're nearly an end and I'm telling

29:18

very good guy. He's a very good guy. He's a very

30:21

30:41

Kenneth Clarke was a snail. Oh, no, that

30:43

was Kenneth Baker, yeah. He

30:45

probably did him as well, yeah, he did him as well, Kenneth Baker.

30:47

That's there as well. Kenneth

30:49

Clarke, Elton John, Lawrence

30:52

Olivier, Frank

30:54

Bruno, Frank Boff. Richard

30:57

Branson. Desmond Wilcox.

31:01

Vincent Price. It was excellent on Spitting

31:03

Image. Paul McCartney

31:06

and Prince. Prince. The

31:08

best of all of those, the characters that

31:10

I remember, was Donald Sinden. Yes.

31:14

He's hang-on with John Geelger, didn't he? Yeah, and

31:16

they were just really competitive about who was the

31:18

most... That was Lawrence Olivier. Oh,

31:20

yeah, no, but Sinden was always on about

31:22

getting a knighthood, wasn't he? That

31:24

was his obsession on Spitting Image. Yeah,

31:26

yeah. But he's been

31:28

on so many things, and get this, he's still

31:30

working, and he does voices on video games now.

31:34

Oh, that's huge money in that, isn't it? In

31:38

2022, Enright

31:40

El appeared in the game

31:43

Disney Dreamlight Valley, which

31:45

I've not heard of. Maybe it's not even out yet,

31:47

it says upcoming here on Wikipedia. And who

31:49

did he play in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Fucking

31:52

Scrooge McDuck. Ah,

31:55

one of the all-time best characters. Nature.

31:58

He's like a mad sky. I

32:02

think Scrooge McDuck needs to be deep dived at some

32:04

point. So

32:06

there you are, that's Enright Elle and

32:08

he is clearly the king of

32:11

the voice. He's a great man. He's a great man.

32:13

One of the unsung heroes of comedy. We

32:15

should probably try and track him down. Yeah, I'm going

32:17

to find the article I wrote as well to get

32:19

pull out. I'll share that on the

32:21

IFS or something. Yeah,

32:23

yeah. So that's

32:25

The Pig Odyssey. Big shout

32:27

out to our official

32:30

pig advisor Lewis Clare who sent the video this

32:32

week of – well, Las Vegas might have been

32:34

– of some of his pigs

32:36

on his farm wallowing in mud because

32:38

the weather had been so hot that he'd

32:40

had to build some holes for them to

32:43

wallow around in full of

32:46

water and mud and that was nice to see. So

32:48

there's some pig content. That's one of my favourite things

32:50

pigs do. It's out there in the pigs

32:52

top three things, isn't it, wallowing in mud?

32:55

Yeah, definitely. And next time

32:57

we'll pick it up. I think we've got some more to talk about

32:59

with the Tamworth too. Yeah, we haven't finished them yet. We don't know

33:02

what happened to them in the end. Who

33:04

fucking knows where we'll end up. So

33:06

thanks for listening and

33:09

goodbye. selling

33:37
