Thanks to The Bugle, I am unable to think of Silvio Berlusconi without hearing Episode 99. "SILVIO BERLUSCONI GETTING HIT IN THE FACE NEWS NOW! Is this a beautiful dream, Andy? Have I died and gone to heaven?" We are long overdue for another appearance by The American, though he's probably too busy scooting around on his jet ski to come into the studio.

The e-mails section this week was great: mocking the acceptance of The Smurfs in the Czech Republic, and "please stop sending us pictures of wangs." Plus a dig at News Corp!

Andy used to be on a radio show called "7 Day Sunday" with Chris Addison and Sarah Millican. It was pretty good, though it died a weird death. All of a sudden one week, they were gone and three new people showed up for five more episodes. Addison, Zaltzman, and Oliver also did a radio show called The Department, which is also funny. Here is the Badonkadonk mentioned in this week's Bugle and the recommended products that followed. The only one it's missing is the Playmobil Security Checkpoint.

Listened to 199 again and the new lyrics to the Star-Spangled Banner about hitting home runs into the sea off of an aircraft carrier should be adopted nationwide. The only thing that would have been better is if The American had made an appearance, as he is a noted aficionado of the jet-ski.

Humbug Scoolbus posted:I still think #99 is the greatest so far. Silvio's Face vs. the Milan Cathedral is gold. John's delivery on that episode is fantastic. "SILVIO BURLESCONI BEING HIT IN THE FACE NEWS NOW... Is this a beautiful dream, Andy?" I'm cracking up just typing that.

TACD posted:Holy poo poo, seriously. On occasion I've queued up a few to listen to on a long train journey and started to doze off... then the SSHHHWOMP comes in at the start of an episode and I jump out of my goddamn seat. Agreed. It's so much louder than the rest of the show, it's ridiculous. I was hoping that it would go away once they weren't part of Newscorp anymore, but no...

I wondered why there was no new Bugle last night. https://twitter.com/hellobuglers/status/323221311709134848hellobuglers posted:Attention Buglers. This week's Bugle will be recorded on Sunday afternoon, UK time, so should be available late on Sunday evening. Love how the first two responses are about what did Chris do and where is the merch.

thefncrow posted:The Bugle twitter feed just announced that this weeks episode will feature the long awaited return of The American. Perhaps John will revisit his rendition of the National Anthem--the version about hitting baseballs off of the flight deck of an aircraft carrier into a swarm of jet-skis. It is the most fitting tribute to The American.

bobkatt013 posted:I was listening to this on the train and when the started talking about this I must have looked like a loon. I was walking the dog when Andy mentioned how it took so long to drive across Switzerland because you had to stop and count all the stolen gold. I'm sure my neighbors think I'm nuts as that was a rough chuckle. The emails just better and better. The one about the pig writing in to say how dare they take pig semen contracts lightly may be my favorite.

Apoplexy posted:I've been listening through the older episodes, and I finally got to Engineer Chris taking over and the inexplicably vitriolic email about how he sucks on his first episode. gently caress YOU, CHRIS! One of my favorite Bugle-related things is when he ran the London Marathon a few years ago, and some Buglers had a "gently caress YOU, CHRIS" sign up near the end for the entire duration of the event. That and his reporting on how delighted Andy was when he was doing a pun run while ringing a bell.

This may be the best Bugle contest ever. "Describe what you think should be on the back of the new pound coin in 100 words or less. Andy will get his kids to draw it." Thinking that there will be a lot of submissions about Florence Nightingale.

No update on the coin contest this week, but I believe they set a record for the number of times the phrase "Napoleon's penis" was ever uttered in a podcast. Truly a historic episode.

Fellatio del Toro posted:John got a taste of those sweet, uncensored fucks on HBO and now there's no going back. Plus the most recent episode of "Last Week Tonight" featured Mitch McConnell as a penis. Now if he would just feature a jet ski or talk about Q-Unit, it would be that just more a visual newspaper for a visual world.

And here I'd just recently signed up for my voluntarosubscription and everything. It's on hiatus for the World Cup, but you can sometimes catch Zaltor the Magnificent on 7 Day Sunday (where he crams 5 minutes of material into "Andy Zaltzman's 90 Seconds of Sport") and he has been shooting little bits for the Guardian about football now and then.

John singing is still one of the best things in the Bugle. "Shine bright like a diamond. Shine bright like a diamond." So catchy, though his take on the Star-Spangled Banner will always be my #1 highlight. (The version involving hitting baseballs off of an aircraft carrier, to have them picked up by jet-skis.)

Glad to hear that in the most recent episode, John was able to play football with both Andy and Chris. "I'm basically Pele." Though 2015 is not getting off to the best start. It felt like they both wanted to give a fuckeulogy to the year already. (And Andy, can you really give 2014 a rating of 1.5 when the World Cup was so spectacular? Or was the year a 0 except for the World Cup?)

Great read, thanks for that! Nish was a guest on the London episode of Lovett or Leave It and did a great job. Evidently he'd been at a previous show and somehow volunteered to be on the panel. Which had to be an interesting conversation!

I went to the Portland show of the Bugle last week, with guest hosts Helen Zaltman, Martin the Soundman as guest Chris, and Alice Fraser via videolink from Tokyo. Great show, though the highlight for me might have been when Andy's free trial of Zoom.us died in the middle of the show. So Alice was talking and a giant warning came up that the meeting was about to end. He had to call her back, but not before she'd run off to go get a beverage. There was also a bit of Q&A at the end, which was nice. Some exceedingly deep cut references from Bugle listeners, too. (One referenced the town the Bugle had declared war on back in like episode 22 or so.)
