Balls literally exploding off your feet. Literally turning into a greyhound. Literally making time stand still. Literally not having a right foot. Literally having the ball served to him on a plate.

Mandalay posted:The ease with which Jimbo gets trolled by Barry is kind of sad I love it.  I found Barry's act tiresome after a while, but eventually I got back into it again. Also, I really enjoy them struggling to fill time in the International breaks. And, did anyone really enjoy the chemistry that Sid has when he's around in the actual studio? He can still be fun on the phone, but in person he seems to be a riot.

JingleBells posted:Ah, I was wondering what the difference was - I can see both on my RSS and the airport wifi I'm on is slow so I want to ensure I get at least one copy to listen to on the flight home As long as the talk about crapping out a turd and putting it in a spurs jersey is still in... I did love how it's like "And now Sid Lowe in Spain *edit* favourite pizza topping?"

Thanks for the update. When Barry made a joke about Jimbo playing to the crowd I thought "oh... that's a weird joke considering they haven't had a live show in ages right?" Then I log onto this thread. And it all made sense.

Von Linus posted:I just started to listen to Football weekly. It's really funny, I was pleasantly surprised. Let's not start sucking each other's dicks just quite yet. That has to be up there with "Blow me, gently caress face" as the funniest cursing in a FW pod. I don't get the Sid hate, he's got a tough job dealing with the madness that is Spanish football and deciphering all the bullshit. He's actually pretty fun in person too, the two or three times a year that he is. He actually appears on the odd ESPN documentary on spanish football. And plus, he doesn't make people call him Dr Lowe, which is pretty humble.

I always really enjoyed it when he's really pumped about something and no one gives a poo poo. "Did you here about Juventus, eh? eh? eh?" And also Barry's two minute recaps are hilarious. But they happen once a year or so. Also, it's pretty funny how they don't understand why Pirlo would move to Australia. Money + Easy season + Summer = paid holiday.

 Barry did a series of videos about the Olympics. I think he's actually funnier on the pod, but each to their own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAF4QrBiT5w

That was a good football weekly, with a few gems, namely "Does it have Georgie Best in it?" and Baz having a laugh about Sydney FC. In addition, Barry's interview with Jimmy Bullard is nice, rather  http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/oct/13/jimmy-bullard-football?newsfeed=true

Mickolution posted:Really? I found it really dull. Well, I'm Australian so A-League talk is fun, and I was listening to it during the middle of a long bike ride so it was just back ground noise, and it made me laugh. But yeah, I can understand why people didn't enjoy it.

I just listen to it because I've listened to it for years. And I mostly listen to it while commuting on my bicycle. And listening to them jabber on about fat footballers is entertaining while you're on a bike. I can understand why people get annoyed. I think I'm just a creature of habbit, and I just want to know the basic talking points: Man U has a bad back line, Man City are failing in Europe, Arsenal suck and Chelsea are going okay but will probably wilt at some point.

People really need to listen to the most recent football weekly. They'd go on about football then they would side track and go into a really really deep extended joke metaphor about the Viking invasion (The Michael Laudrup of his day!) and then back to football. Please tell me I wasn't the only one who thought this was completely bizarre and hilarious. You know you are off to a good start when the first thing that happens is someone makes an apartheid joke.

When you hear Sid and Jimbo in the same room together, you can see that they all get on well. I'm pretty sure it's just Jimbo's indifferent act / Sid taking everything seriously. Unrelated, my favorite was when they used to tack things on the end of Football weekly. One was them spending five minutes trying to call Sid and the other was Barry saying he lived upstairs from some Footballer's wife/girlfriend that he thought was hot. algebra testes fucked around with this message at 04:07 on Jan 30, 2013 |

If you are wondering, yes they did just straight up have a go at Thatcher in the football weekly intro.  (golf clap for the unabashed bluntness of it.)

Which explains the running joke of whenever someone says something ridiculously offensive and they'll say "I don't mean to be a Bleeding Heart Guardianista but you really shouldn't say X any more in public" or whatever.
