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:
In Episode 16 of BSB, we got to talking about a well-known double act, whose personal lives have been almost as colourful as their wardrobe:
So, by way of a tenuous link, we thought it would be interesting to incorporate the twinset theme into our next episode – ie. which were the greatest double acts of all time?
Some people might say these two deserve to be crowned kings of the two-person pantheon:
Others would opt for a more heavyweight duo (or more comical, depending on your point of view):
As trusted listeners to BSB, what do you think? Which funny man / straight man or good cop / bad cop pairings have achieved true greatness in the long history of a couple of people doing stuff together?
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.)
It’s the August podcast – and Tom’s missing. Has he been kidnapped by aliens? No, because that would be a conspiracy theory, and we don’t believe those.
Yes, we’re back – back! – and this month, we’re pontificating about the greatest ever film theme songs, the most believable conspiracy theories, the board games we used to know and love, and the athletes we know and would love to do.
Technical note: because Tom is our technical guru, Andrea and Sean had to learn how to record and edit this podcast using Fisher Price’s My First Podcasting Software – so it sounds ever-so-slightly different from our usual episodes. Hopefully, however, we still retain our charm.
There aren’t many, let’s make clear right from the get-go. The BS Bingo team, however, has scoured the political landscape in search of suitably ‘do-able’ politicos.
Here then is our list. See if you can guess which BS Bingo contributor voted for whom…
CONDOLEEZZA RICE
Rice Rice Baby? We’re as shocked as you are…
LYNNE FEATHERSTONE
Not quite on a par with the US Secretary of State, but some of us would put it in.
BILL CLINTON
Still smokin’ after all these years – I’m sorry.
And last, but by no means least, JULIA GOLDSWORTHY
This episode sees our ranks swell to include a new member!
We welcome in the new year by welcoming Andrea, jazz singer to the stars and wit extraordinaire.
We also revisit the US primaries, take another pulse reading of the music industry, groan at the prospect of new year resolutions and then cheer ourselves up by thinking happy thoughts.
A trio of soon-to-be forty-something blokes sit around a table eating, drinking and playing online bingo making arbitrary lists about anything and everything.
We are: Sean, Tom and Eddie.
Together, we are: recording our innermost thoughts and our outermost opinions for your listening pleasure.
