We reach a milestone of sorts this week as we record our 75th episode. It is technically our diamond anniversary, which is the same as your 60th, which is a bit of a swizz to be honest. Who wants to be married for an extra fifteen years only to have the same party all over again. Rubbish.
Anyway, we celebrate the best way we know how, by inviting the boys from I Am Idiot to join us on our special day. Howard, Keith and Ben sat with hosts Angry and Cliff as they discuss those things that tend to come to mind on Tuesday evenings.
We look at the least successful showbiz collaborations of all time, alongside a few that we’d really, really like to see. Keith thoughtfully gives us his guide to death, we consider the origins of auto-erotic asphyxiation and ponder Alexander The great’s Irish accent.
All this plus golf buggies on the moon, the reading of the Riot Act, and trying to blow up Hitler.
You must listen. Now.

75? who’d have thunk you would last this long?
no…really?
here’s to the next 75.
all the best,
barnsley sime.
Thanks for sharing this special occasion with us chaps.
Oh, and to repeat, re: Ben, you really can keep him if you want. Probably not though…
Sime – I know. When I met Cliff for the first time I didn’t think there’d be a second podcast..
Idiot 1 – Why don’t we just wait until he’d old enough and let him decide?
As far as I can figure, Roman-era archivists counted the founding of Rome (750-ish BC) as “year zero”, and generally applied that convention until the Julian system was implemented in 46 BC, which in turn was replaced by the Christocentric Gregorian calendar. Oddly, and more to the point, most Romans didn’t number the passing years, they named them after the two Consuls who were in office at the start of the inaugural month (eventually January).
BTW, excellent show, guys. I was expecting mostly chaos with an even chance of carnage, but it was completely calm and convivial. Downright Canadian, actually.
MKH – I knew that if we kept this podcast going long enough we’d eventually get a sensible and knowledgeable comment. Thank you…
Everyone else, take note!
