Summary

Happy radio lads! Don’t mind if I do.

No Matthew this week (after last week), but we do have the wonderful guest host Nish Kumar (who shouts “iPenis” a few times). And, of course, a guest host means the return of the Film Review! Plus, Ed saves an institution.

Thanks for downloading the podcast – remember, you can be an Early Worm and catch the show live on Radio X every Sunday 8am – 11am.

Hello and welcome to the Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosby podcast of the radio show that we do on Radio X.

0:46.5

And we are currently doing the show, but it's not Matthew Crosby with me.

0:49.7

Matthew is on his holiday.

0:51.5

I'm sure we'll get an update on how that all went.

0:53.9

Obviously we had a passport disaster last week. but he's, we think he's away. Either he's away or he's on witness relocation. He's on witness relocation and that is the voice of Matthew's replacement. I was going to pretend that I was Crosby. Oh sorry. I was going to try and do my impression. And we're joined by Matthew Crosby. Steely Dan! Yes, he just says Steely Dan. Steely Dan, I've got a wife. Why are my kids? That's Matthew boiled down to his constituent part. Steely Dan, I've got a wife. Steely Dan, I've got a wife. Where are my kids?

1:44.1

Nish, thank you for joining us on the show, mate. It's an absolute pleasure to be here. I will say the second coffee has kicked in, and I've got giddy. That's good. I've had three coffees today. I probably get another one at some point. Yeah. Although I might have to go downstairs and use the pod machine, Vin. They cleared out the kitchen Why?

1:45.8

Well, they're clearing this office out behind you

1:47.6

Are they? have to go downstairs and use the pod machine then they cleared out the kitchen why you know

1:46.1

well they're clearing this office out behind you are they yeah why we're we're getting a big glow up

1:50.8

in the building oh really yeah yeah it's going to take a year wow yeah but at some point they're

1:56.9

going to they're going to close that kitchen off those toilets are going to go fair enough i mean that

2:00.7

kitchen's rubbish it's always dirty it is yeah i, I'd say there's probably an option to clean it rather than rip it all. Anyway, Nish, welcome. Maitless is making an absolute mess of the kitchen. She's microwaving curries without putting a plate on top. We're currently about halfway through the show. I'd say it's been quite giddy so far. Yeah, it's been very giddy so far. There's been a couple of moments where Vin sort of has his head in his hands. He didn't have his head in his hands, but he, it felt, the atmosphere felt like the hands were approaching the head. Yes, absolutely. They were going towards it. But yeah, look, it's a fun show so far. It hasn't gone too wrong. No. I think... I'm going to leave the rude bit in. Yeah. It wasn't rude, man. It wasn't rude, man. The listeners need to... They need to agree that they're not going to complain about it. Don't complain about it, guys. Our listeners won't complain about that. They better not. Obviously it'll be funny if you did that. But please don't. I've got to tell you that every time I hear the sting, we have the thickest listeners in radio. It makes me laugh out loud every time. So this is what I wanted to talk about because I listened to the podcast last week, which I very rarely listened back. Oh, there's some new ones, yeah. But there's some new ones that I'd imagine relate to stuff that we've said on the show. Yes. But I have no memory of it. One of them is just the breathy lady saying, have you heard of the High Street Honey's? Or do you remember the High Street Honeys?

3:40.6

When did we say, do you remember the High Street Honeys? Well, obviously it was Matthew. Obviously, it was Matthew. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I do remember the High Street Honeys. We all remember the High Street Honeys. What a time. Does she... I miss those days. Does she just freestyle in the booth? Does she just get in and spit fire?

3:41.7

No, I've got a... I've got a very confusing email. I miss those days. Does she just freestyle in the booth? Does she just get in and spit fire?

3:41.7

No, I've got a... I've got a very confusing email thread. Oh, really? Just a list of quotes. With the breathing lady? Yeah, yeah. I'd love breathy ladies to do fire in the booth. Fire in the booth. I'd love her to spit fire in the booth. Or even just say the phrase fire in the booth. Yeah.
