In which Mark Ellen and David Hepworth welcome our TV man Barry McIlheney back from seeing Magazine, the largest gathering of men over 35 since the AGM of Fathers For Justice, and talk about the onset of tinnitus, Van Morrison's new teeth, Joaquin Phoenix's appearance on Letterman, why we can never watch "The Day Of The Jackal" in quite the same way again, the problem Posh 2.0 has in distinguishing between Mad Max and "Mad Men" and the secret things men do when their wives go away.

"what , sorry can you repeat that?"
I have got to the stage of just explaining straight away to the bod from the call centre that my tinnitus is going to make it difficult if they cannot cut out some of the background noise ,and speak clearly and slowly . However I have had it since early 20's.
The Experience comment reminded me that I was lucky enough to meet Noel on a regular basis in Clonakilty in the late 1970's but missed him when he walked down my street for Chas Chandlers funeral in Cullercoats .
I was on Cullercoats beach when Metallica played Whitley Bay Ice Rink,principally a metal building 1/2 -3/4 mile away . All I could imagine that if the sounded like that where I was ,then ears must be bleeding onto the ice .
What's Mark Ellen saying?
Is he just finishing an anecdote ending with the words "Snake! Snake!
I'm afraid I was very, very drunk."?
Either that, or Barry McIlheney's getting a telling off.
A Chat-tastic...
... 38minutes.
Cocaine injected into your gums and Bowie impersonations.
Where else would you get it?
One of the best
Old chaps going to gigs - "the new indoor bowls".
I had to write that down. Is it copyrighted?
Day of The Jackal
Would you maybe consider the Manchurian Candidate a possibility for the 1st terrorist movie or is it just out of the realm given the psychological overtones?
A side question...what was the name of the documentary about the 75 record collector? Yes...I am too lazy to scroll back through the play time to hear it again.

You're thinking of Desperate Man Blues.

Dentists
They used to use a synthetic anaesthetic named novocaine. I'm sure that's what I had for my first fillings. But I'm not saying they didn't use cocaine, because I don't know. Perhaps novocaine was just the trade name.
Fabulous podcast...
very, very funny. As ever, Barry McIlheney was great value.
David Steele
I've been wondering this for a while but the photo accompanying this thread appears to confirm my suspicions. David Hepworth is actually the 'Spitting Image' David Steele. Look. He could fit in the pocket of Mark Ellen.
Very enjoyable
Mrs Presentable was also amused!
I got some funny looks
Laughing uncontrollably at the Bowie impersonations while walking the dog past my local church yesterday. Top notch, gents.
magazine audience
Although Barry McIlheney was broadly accurate in his description of the audience at the Magazine gig, there were women and men under the age of 35. I took my 15 year old son and there were a number of college age audience member in attendance, presumably from the nearby Uni.
