Gaw blimey, love a duck and blow me daahn wiv a fevva! The brand new episode of Bullshit Bingo is brought to you in the mockney style, and I tell you what my love, seeing as the BSB team is feeling generous, you can have it for the knock-down price of twenty pence a paahnd!
Yes, Episode 21 sees us discuss which pearly queens we would like to “do the Lambeth Walk” with. For example
We also have a good old chin-wag over a cup of Gypsy Rose Lee about 80s films we think should be re-made, and which hot topics the twuts on Twotter shoot twit about (or something like that), including not-so-magic moments of TV racism like this one.
We even find time to discuss the All-Time Best Sex Scandals of All Time in the History of the World Ever, after this surprising on-screen confession from David Letterman, which just goes to show that The Larry Sanders Show had it right all along.
But we’ll leave you with our comedy moment of the, er, moment, namely the unparalleled genius of Danny Dyer, as discovered by a very observant James fan in the DVD extras for this already forgotten Brit gangster flick.
We didn’t really like Pam and it was a shitty party. Pam’s mum was beginning to panic and shouted, ‘Okay, everyone gather round for a magic trick!’ We moped into a semi-circle and Pam’s mum turned off all the lights. ‘Everyone ready?’ she asked, and with that, Pam’s mum flicked on the lights to reveal her glass eye and her empty eye socket. But you know, I learned something that day.
We’re back after our six-week summer holiday, and seeing as it’s practically 2010 already, we’ve decided to get ahead of the game by discussing the best (and baddest) bits of the Noughties.
So brace yourselves for our favourite TV shows – for example, this slice of documentary genius from Adam Curtis:
…our musical magic moments – for example, this slice of bastardisatio…er, I mean genius from Missy Elliot and Joy Division:
…and our political highs and lows – for example, this slice of reactionary rhetoric from George Bush (at least we think it’s George Bush…).
Last but not least, we couldn’t talk about anything – least of all the Noughties – without giving it an ILF, so with that in mind, feast your ears and eyes on this little lot (if the BSB team really are gentlemen – which is debatable – then we would appear to prefer brunettes):
Batten down the hatches, lock up your daughters and leave a note out for the milkman, because the new episode of Bullshit Bingo is available for your listening delectation!
This month sees us discuss the burning question at Wimbledon 2009, namely, which player has the fittest wife, Roger Federer or Andy Roddick?
In a similarly sporting vein, we also argue over who is or was the greatest British loser of all time, and aside from the obvious candidates, this man is an under-achiever of almost mythical proportions.
In fact, if you happen to know who the hell he is, can you drop us a line?
Other folks up for discussion include a certain now-deceased pop / R&B crossover artiste (no, not Luther Vandross), our fellow WordPress bloggers, the Overrated List, and the nearly-was boxing legend Herol Graham.
Listen, enjoy, tell your friends, listen again, inadvertently delete from your iTunes library, experience a network timeout during download, and while you’re at it, say hello to our new pals at Gutter London. New balls, please!
This month sees BSB leave no stone un-turned and no stop un-pulled-out, as we sprinkle our satirical fairy dust over everyone from Guy Ritchie to Hazel Blears to people who forget to wave at us as they drive past in their BMW X5.
Among numerous (well, OK, four) topics of conversation, we discuss the advertisements that have made us tingle with consumer excitement, including this one from Coca Cola.
In addition, we want you to tell us why good manners have become a thing of the past (or, if you’re not as avid a reader of the Daily Mail as Sean, why good manners are alive and well and haven’t gone away at all). In order to start the ball rolling, here’s a site we discovered that conclusively proves how no one gives a damn any more about priority seating on public transport:
Yes, this month, we discuss such diverse, wide-ranging, varied and, er, multifarious topics as the intrinsic link between these futuristic femmes-fatales:
Also also, this month, and for all subsequent months (unless we can persuade her to re-appear as a guest star), we shall sadly be without the diverse, wide-ranging, varied and…well, anyway, the many talents of our cohort in conversation, Andrea.
For some reason, Andrea has decided that international musical superstardom is more glamorous than sitting around a rickety table talking about who she’d like to get off with, so if you would like to help her along the way, please invest in her excellent new CD, which is currently shifting big units (if that doesn’t make her sound too much like Aussie Man & Van) in the Far East.
Finally, and as always, we have cunningly inserted a deliberate mistake into Episode 17. The first listener who manages to spot this will receive a hearty pat on the back and a year’s supply of Bullshit Bingo absolutely free – yes, that’s right, absolutely free! By way of a subtle hint, the mistake has something to do with this man:
Happy listening, and watch this space for more info about our glorious 18th birthday episode…

The Bingo boys are back in town – err, because Andrea has a life…
This episode sees an all-male extravaganza, as Sean, Tom and Eddie flounder about without the aid of Andrea’s wit, female insight or moral compass. Fear not, Andrea returns next month.
That said, we think it’s a crackerjack of an episode, chock-full of meaty goodness.
Leave us a comment, become a friend of our shiny new Facebook fan page, and watch this space for topics to be featured in the next episode.
Oh, and did we mention that 3500 of you wonderful people passed through the BSB portal last month? We love you almost as much as we love Emily, Riz and Kirsty…
Thanks for listening, and now it’s time to hand over to our BBC news teams where you are…
Yes, we’ve finally caught up with The Kids and there’s now a Bullshit Bingo fan page on the Book of Face.
Just click here to go to it – and please become a fan! Because without you, we are nothing. Well, without you, we’re just talking to ourselves. Which is, y’know, fun, and everything. But we might as well not record it in that case. I mean, we could just sit around making lists without going to all the trouble of rigging up a Macbook and editing it in Garageband and such. But if a podcast falls in the forest and there’s no one there to hear it, does it make a sound? Eh?
(Note: calling it a ‘TV Show’ was the nearest we could get to ‘Podcast’. Get hip, FB!)
Yes! We! Did! Record another episode of the podcast, that is.
A new year, a new dawn, and a new edition of the Bullshit Bingo podcast – bringing you Change You Can Believe In from around a table in a front room in Clapham. Well, it’s what Obama would want, isn’t it?
And we need your help again for next month. Please. Pretty please? We’d like to know which newsreaders do it for you – you know, sex-wise. Not delivering-the-story-well-wise – and also about your most hated management-speak. (If, indeed, you work in a Proper Office like Sean and Eddie, and actually come across management-speak. Tom and Andrea are creative slackers, so are more used to blogger-speak.)
Enjoy the podcast – no, please. Do – and leave your comments on this blog, or on the Book of Face, where we’ll shortly be setting up a fan page. Or whatever it is The Kids do these days. (Link to Facebook to follow shortly.)
Altogether now: “Haaaave yourseeelf a Bullshit Bingo Christmas…”
Yes, it’s that time of year again! Time to hang up your stockings/mistletoe/hang-ups and hide behind the sofa because the Christmas Day edition of Doctor Who is on. Or, in Eddie’s case: hide behind the sofa because The Snowman is on. Aww.
Topics under discussion in January’s podcast will include nationalities we’d like to f*** (NILFS, if you will) and our encounters with famous people – so please leave comments below and let us know what your experiences are. Of sleeping with different nationalities, as well as celebrities.
Yours, wishing you a merry Christmas and a haaaappy neeew yeeeear,
The BS Bingo boys and gal
