I Am Livid

Podcast 55 is live with myself, Cliff and Ben chewing the fat over topics as diverse as Cliff accidentally teaching his kids how to correctly use swear words, why I shouldn’t cut my own hair, and how Sir Jimmy Saville clearly hates Ben.

Each of us also shares an online conversation we’ve had with a website help operator, and we still can’t decide if they’re actually human or not.

All this plus regular segment On This Day in History with births, deaths and the quite lengthy origins of Groundhog Day.

Podcast 54 is here with myself, Cliff and Ben and we’re joined by William Hague.  Well, not William Hague but someone who sounds like William Hague.  Okay, it’s not someone who sounds like William Hague, it’s someone who thinks they sound like William Hague - but that would have made a rubbish title for the show.

Cliff tells us all about his meeting with a genuine rock star, Ben sets Cliff and I the toughest sports movie quiz you are ever likely to take part in, and we wonder about the origins of Australia Day whilst remembering as many foreign chat up lines as we can.

All this plus regular segment On This Day in History with births, deaths and the renaming of St Petersburg.  Go and have a listen.  Go on.  Do it.

After a hiatus so long it feels like we’re coming out of retirement, podcast 53 is here!  Joining Cliff and I once again is Ben Piears, who is appearing with such regularity that we have decided to permanently add him to our show’s cover image.  It is an uncanny likeness, I am sure you will agree.

This week we catch up on Christmas and New Year, with hangovers, passive aggressive relatives, and texting girls you barely know when drunk.

Cliff is forced to dance with his wife, and Ben and I wonder if it’s possible to die from a headspin.  All this plus movie reviews, an American history lesson and the invention of the Y Fronts.  It would be remiss of you not to listen.

Podcast 52 sees us joined once again by Ben Piears, who now has his own blog! (Admittedly, Cliff set it up, and he didn’t know about it till we showed him it during the show - but still.)

In this week’s 35 minutes of idle chatter we cover Cliff’s Facebook suicide, a European ban on loud music and Cliff comes up with possibly the worst iPhone application ever.  Not that this stops him selling the shit out of his idea.

We ventured into the second half of our century of podcasts without regular guest Ben, who has developed some form of winter vomiting disease.  We were happy for him to stay away.

In his absence, Cliff tells us about going to a school disco (with his children, he is not a pervert), I explain why I am going to party in Simon Cowell’s honour, and we discuss the strange twinning of Swindon with Disney World.

All this plus, Tiger Woods, Kim Basinger, office parties and me trying to get you to buy my NewsArse book.  Honestly, you’d be a fool not to listen.  Or just a bit busy.  Or about to do something else.  Actually, there are a lot of perfectly valid excuses not to listen, now that I think about it.

Look, if you’re not doing anything too important for the next half an hour or so, have a listen, how’s that?

I realise that hardly anyone visits these pages these days, seeing as I never write anything any more.  But the truth is, I have been writing, just not here.  My other pet project, NewsArse, has been keeping me very busy indeed, and we’ve now released a book of the top stories from the year - Amused By The World.

Headlines you will find inside include:

“Successful Earth Hour delays inevitable global catastrophe, by an hour”

“World pig population shows signs of man-flu pandemic”

“New MPs Code of Conduct to include every possible definition of the word ‘thievery’”

“Ryanair to charge customers for breathable air”

“Americans protest for the right to make insurance companies richer”

“Cockney violence marred by footballing outbreak”

It has even been described by Stephen Fry on Twitter as “Good” (this is genuinely the highest accolade you can get on the Internet these days, honest).

If you are the sort of person who gives people books for Christmas, maybe you’d like to give them this one? You know, if you want to, like.  No pressure.  Honest.  You can buy NewsArse the book - Amused By The World or click the image below to go to the book’s page.

After a few weeks away we have finally reached podcast number 50!

Despite me coughing and spluttering my way through the recording, we managed to cover Ben leaving Facebook, Cliff being a Stuncle, and why watching Katie Price eating a Kangaroo anus has been the televisual highlight of the year so far.

All this plus film reviews, On This Day, and Tiger Woods most wayward drive to date.

Podcast 49, the penultimate show before our half-century extravaganza!  This week sees Ben Piears brave hypothermia and phone in from his holidays to take place in the quiz of the year so far - “Aerosmith song OR Porn film”.  Trust me, it’s a lot harder than it sounds (porn film? - ed)

Cliff and I also discuss the week’s news which includes sickening amounts of money being won on the lottery, Simon Cowell being sickening on television and a sickening letter sent by Gordon Brown.  I’m amazed we kept our dinners down to be honest.

Podcast 48 sees Ben throw a sickie as the slightly-less-dynamic duo of myself and Cliff take control of the reins, just like in the olden days.

The news is dominated by drug tsars, Wayne Rooney’s baby and getting a job as Al Qaeda’s Mr. 10%.  We also invent a new game for naming dubious sexual activities, which many of you joined in through Twitter and Facebook (the best ones were all name-checked!).  We were also joined by motoring correspondent Sam Burnett who explained to Cliff why the Formula One season went beyond Brazil.

Podcast 47 wouldn’t have been podcast 47 without an in-depth review of the biggest story of the week, Gordon Ramsay’s plastic surgery.  We also discuss boggle-eyed lard face Nick Griffin, and his comedy turn on BBC Question Time, Teddy “Don’t call me Teddy” Roosevelt, and those really, really nice people in the Scientology sect.

Also, Ben has been to see a film about goats, and Cliff hasn’t sworn at anyone for a whole week.

Podcast 46 is technically the anniversary of the first Angry & Cliff podcast, though Cliff didn’t mention it until the end.  I am a proper man, so I had completely forgotten, obviously.

The anniversary special is a little longer than usual, due to us missing last weeks show, and comes in at a fraction over the hour.  So there’s lots of stuff in there including Jan Moir, mentalists on trains, balloon boy, the relaxing of BNP membership rules, the X Factor’s twins, plus “jobs we think we could do because we’ve seen enough of them on television”.  If you don’t think this is enough, there is even an exclusive about Elton John’s sexuality (I won’t ruin it and tell you here).

We could have easily gone on for another hour, honestly.

Podcast 45 was another live experiment where Cliff and I were joined again by Ben Piears. We were ‘on-air’ for about an hour, but there’s only 45 minutes in the podcast, so the other 15 minutes is lost only to those that didn’t listen in ‘live’.

We revisit the elephant in the room, presidential cheerleaders, fighting on aeroplanes, and the Turner prize - plus lots of other stuff that I have completely forgotten.  It was good fun, and though we won’t be doing a live show every week, we will keep doing them reasonably regularly if people want us to (that means you, by the way).

This week’s slightly extended podcast, our 44th, sees cultural attaché Ben Piears join Cliff and I in the studio.  He even brought his own mic and everything.

We discussed many things, including me causing a scene on a train in the name of chivalry, Cliff finally releasing his inner ‘Angry’ in a supermarket, and Ben has a little cultural quiz in which there could be only one winner.  All this plus birthdays for child molesters and murders, the origin of the ‘elephant in the room’ and what Heather Mills should do with her ‘boring’ prosthetic leg.

I am back!!

Yes, I am sure you all thought Cliff and Ben did a great job last week, but I am back, whether you like it or not.  Ben still pops in for his cultural review - this week he talks about Derren Brown and Kanye West.

Cliff and I chat about narrow/long boats, why trains are utterly shit, and how I once got humiliated in front of Michelangelo’s David.  It’s like I’ve never been away. Well, if you ignore last week’s episode.
