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

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

often times by the get that was
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

this is gonna blow your months and
9:12
Martellus live in the Dawson's right to

know them in my that much money
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
9:40
but saw my mom games there was a
9:43
little bit of about I think i could
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
happy, smile and say and he would lay
10:19
his agent know where he was before mobile
10:21

semi retired Californian luxury by the
11:17
state Of course there was have
11:19
any. wasn't quite where we're at

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

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

30:19
very good guy. He's a very good guy. He's a very
30:21
good guy. He's a very good guy. He's a very good

30:41
Kenneth Clarke was a snail. Oh, no, that
30:43
was Kenneth Baker, yeah. He

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
