So the drama has mainly related to John's comments on obesity. He's been listening to lot of Maintenance Phase, an excellent podcast that debunks diet myths. The probably is two fold. 1) a lot of the myths are very very deeply entrenched so people aren't willing to let them go. 2) John has only.remembered bits of it and is trying to convey hours worth of backed up info into 1 sentence soundbites. So it comes across as John being a bit dogmatic, which unfortunately he has a tendency to do.

Fair summary! I’d say it’s this, coupled with a few posts from people taking umbridge with his use of the term ‘dear’. Oh, and a smattering of posts discussing his alcoholism with coins saying thing like “how did Elis and Dave not notice, they are bad friends” (not a direct quote).

So in my dream last night, there was a snake in my wardrobe so I screamed and in runs Prod D to save the day saying ‘don’t worry, he’s harmless, I’ll just put it out the window’… and that he did.

He’ll always be a hero in my eyes now.

Except when he left, I decided to open the window for some reason and the snake head moved up and hissed at me. I then woke up.

He really does. He studied English at uni didn't he? He really should write a novel in time.

I think he would make a wonderful essayist. Some collected works or something. He’s funny, as we know, but the depth of emotion in his writing is genuinely brilliant. I was going between laughing and almost crying!

(I am also incredibly hormonal so potentially that )

Patty parliament: People who type simple questions into fb groups when the answer can be easily googled.

Punishment: they’re not allowed access to the internet for a month, and will have to rely on an encyclopaedia for any research. (Tattlers withstanding)

It’s totally bonkers by the time they had typed that they could have googled

His accents are bloody brilliant and I won't have a bad word said against them. The rubbish ones are just as funny as the good ones

Anyway... HAPPY PODCAST DAY

Also think the Tax Calendar is being released today!

I decided to start at the start of January and I need details for nude Chris who wants outdoor toast banned. What a voice 🫠

As a young teen my bedroom was plastered with photos of Ian Watkins and Russell Brand. They would have loved that

Oh. Wow. That's not aged well. At least you've gone wholesome with your vibe now. Literally the most unassuming trio going (yes, I'm including Dave because he is part of the fantasy hahaha).

Mine was 5ive and then Blazin Squad (and really not too dissimilar to that Alan Partridge room I'm both proud and ashamed to say haha).

Moderation or total abstinence? Adrian Chiles and John Robins talk honestly about their drinking

I've listened to all of Januarys and it's crazy how they're basically a threesome now rather than the occasional chip in from Prod D or (my personal all time fave prod) Vin. If you come from the past to now, it's really noticeable.

Happy that they haven't changed at all in the last 7 years though

 

[fishyfishfish]

Ahhh happy new year to my fave corner of the internet! Legends every one of you.

Listening to the most recent episode, thrilled to hear that dc whatsitcalled will be finishing next week. It was horrendous.

 

[Madeofeyes]

Anyone listen to crunch and crumble and hear prod Vin make a little dig at next years format in bec recs?

I saw John perform on Southend last night and it was a truly brilliant show.

 

[fishyfishfish]

I’m so looking forward to seeing Howl, love that (almost?) everyone here is going. Could do with a laugh…

Spoiler: Merail, feel free to skip!

my anxiety is at an all time high. Every time my FTBF is driving somewhere I’m convinced he’s going to get into an accident. Last night when I was on my way home to him I was imagining him dead at home, specifically dying by suicide and how he’d have done it. Whenever my mum calls I assume someone in the family is dead. If a virtual meeting starts late I’ll frantically check and re check the link, convinced I’ve got it wrong. So big and little things. It is fucking exhausting. I’m having therapy for OCD at the mo and don’t feel like I can tackle this at the same time.

missing HYDC at the mo as the mental health related eps make me feel less alone with it all. Does anyone know of any similar pods that talk about MH stories in a similar way?

Love that you lot seem to be absolutely my vibe! Saw Robins tonight and he mentioned he was 88 days sober and was on great form. Trying out new material so it was hit and miss (heard the bran flake/cancer scare story again which wasn’t a good one knowing the punch line already) but most of his other stuff was GOOD. Pleased for him that he seems to be in a good place, whether that’s because of lack of booze and/or other factors.

Someone on the group said they'd seen John perform live very recently and he said it had been 80 something days without a drink. He used to go to a pub that I know very well and I know the landlady , she said he was nothing short of charming. But I can imagine that wasn't always the case.

Re Lou, on RHLSTP (RHLSTP!) He did say that if he was ever in a relationship again, he wouldn't be quite so open whilst also trying to remain authentic. I guess it's a hard line. I hope he's happy that's all. He has a lot of similar traits to my FTH so I know it can be hard work sometimes!!
