Looking back on this thread, we were discussing the conversation on Sept 21st (#1587 onwards) so I guess the Sept 20th show would have been the one. I think it was somewhere in the middle hour of the show as I was just pulling off the Autobahn on my way home from work and that's usually towards your Midnight
However it is funny anyway and I'm linking it for anyone who might not have heard it before. ![]() >>>http://bit.ly/2dqJsvL<<< |

Just listening to it again and it's not actually as bad as I recall, but it appears on the Tuesday Sept 20th Podcast "Speed Singing and Swears" at about 20minutes in.
Most of the discussion occurred after he put the phone down |

Sorry you don't like the music. I play a song at the top of the hour and then if a conversation starts about music, I'll bring some in to illustrate a point or to make people aware of the song we're discussing. I'd do the same thing if you were round my house and we had a friend who wasn't aware of the group which we were discussing.
I've taken on board you're point but I've decided I'm going to stick with the occasional bursts of music. Actually, a lot of the songs last night were from my guest Weird Al so it was a really useful tool in setting up who he was. If you decide the show isn't for you, that's cool. But you're always welcome back. Cheers |

Don't know if you'll see this as I'm late to the party but I think the amount of music you play on the show is perfect and I also always like the choices.

I must admit, I cannot stand the Fall Guy theme. Ugh. Just imagining Lee Majors standing there smugly singing "I've taught ladies plenty". Have you really, Mr Man? Just makes me feel all icky. A song "of its time". I mean, who is Cheryl Tiegs anyway? And might I venture that the reason why you're left alone nursing your bandaged knee at the end of a shoot is that you're a misogynistic arse?
Mind you, his other song is even worse! I may be over-thinking this.

Thanks for going to the effort Dave it's appreciated, I've managed to find only an edited recording from the 20th September and Nigel is on but there's nothing of Iain and Kath giving him some home truths.
However it is funny anyway and I'm linking it for anyone who might not have heard it before. ![]() >>>http://bit.ly/2dqJsvL<<< The full EP of 3 songs sold 271. Nigel presumed this to mean 271,000. Ouch. |

I'm 1 of them Billy... always makes me laugh when Lindsey Lohorn starts playing on my phone when I'm at the gym!
I must say, the only problem I have with the music Iain plays on the show is that I like a lot of it and end up buying it. the bloody man is costing me a fortune! |

I wasn't sure whether Nigel genuinely thought that they had made 100,000 sales or whether he was joking. He did seem to think that even though there had been a low number of sales so far, that didn't matter as there would be many more to come in the future.
One of the classic Iain Lee calls happened last night (and Ray says so later in the show) when Leslie came on. Iain had heard Leslie phoning Clive Bull so he recorded it on his phone and played it to Leslie. Leslie appeared to be complaining to Clive that foreigners were taking British people's jobs but took a far more liberal tone when talking to Iain about it. Iain suggested that when Leslie called LBC he was nasty and when phoning talkRADIO he was nice. It was already a good call by that point but then Leslie mentioned a food that he didn't like. That gave Iain an idea of a brilliant, stupid quiz called "Taste's like food, doesn't taste like food". Callers came on, stating a food and Leslie would say "taste's like food" or "doesn't taste like food." The funniest bit for me was when Kyle said jacket potato, Leslie said "doesn't taste like food" and then Iain and Triss discussed that as if they were on talkSPORT. Iain said that Kyle had just said "jacket potato" to show off.; |

The show would start off on the Dave channel initially but be so successful the BBC would buy the rights for the show and sign Nigel up on a five year £1.5 million a year rolling contract. Iain Lee and Kath now left behind with scraps on their talkRADIO show now Nigel has finally made it big and no longer phones in because he doesn't need them any more would make intermittent cameo appearances on his smash hit TV show as themselves whenever Nigel felt sorry enough for them and felt he should give something back to the people who helped make him a star. |

I consider this the best song Nigel has ever done, his friend helped with the backing and it's really quite good to be perfectly honest, it's called 'The Joker".

Nigel could definitely have his own TV comedy series that's for sure, the right casting for his mother and friends would of course be critical and the set for the house just right. I see a 1940's modest ex council 3 bedroom house with window nets in every window built on a cul-de-sac being the perfect setting.

Twas a great call last night from Nigel, Iain was divying out the profits from their world-wide smash sales of Lindsay Lo-horn and associated tracks. Nigel naturally misunderstood Iain's break-down of the sales figures taking 271 to mean 271,000
in Nigel's head for those very brief moments he must have been envisaging the high life and fame, cancel the orders for the new half a dozen blow-up dolls Nigel it was two hundred and seventy one.>>>http://bit.ly/2e998RL<<< |
