Hey everybody, welcome to episode 230 of the

part-of-the-soucy of the week's episode.

Part 2 will be with you on Friday.

What do you need to know about this week's episode? Mike has his friend Mike Post, who is the

composer of the theme tune for Mammoth, along with lots of other things, fly all the way to Wales to play

golf against him even though he's from Los Angeles.

In the first round of clips, we look at terrible football pitches in Paisley in the 1970s and why they were banned

from playing football on the Sunday. We look at a shoe designer who won UTMB and we look at Reggie Jackson as well.

It is all part of part one.

I need to say a big thank you to all of you guys
