The Adam Buxton Podcast

[popcorn]

Who?

[Ferris]

Who?

Adam Buxton. Short channel 4 fella from the '90s.

[McFlymo]

Says at the end of that podcast that he's putting out two with Chris Morris next week.

I had a funny moment of pausing the latest Buxton podcast, just as he was explaining why he has two new episodes next week, only to read this post a couple of hours later. Hit play on the podcast just now and heard Buckles confirm it.

That's quite fucking exciting.

[to be fair, I have low expectations of Morris' new film, but I love the idea of Buxton and Morris having some japes and giggles together.]

[mrfridge]

Haha! I just tweeted Buckles the other day saying I hoped he had a chat with Morris scheduled. Fanfuckingtastic. Has CM ever been interviewed by someone who might actually ask some decent questions before now?

[popcorn]

I wonder what happened to that Limmy interview Buckles was supposed to do?

[Blinder Data]

I find interviewers tend to either be uninformed and stuck in a 90s timewarp or a bit too wrapped up in the Chris Morris mythology. I trust Buxton to be his usually relaxed and sensitive self.

How often do you get ppl from the comedy world interviewing Morris when neither of them will be performing or "on"? Really looking forward to it

25 minutes in. This is great. Just hearing Chris's voice after what seems like years has put a huge grin on my face!

Ta, I didn't even realise it was available yet!

[Beep Cleep Chimney]

Well, that was utterly lovely.  Really wasn't expecting him to be quite so chatty about certain things in his personal life and his previous work.  Big old grin on my face when he started talking about the Radio 1 Music Show and the origin of Ted Maul.   Was hoping he might talk a bit about Blue Jam as that's still my favourite thing he's ever done, but nevertheless that was fab.

Roll on Part 2 later in the week.   From what Adam said at the end of this one, the 2nd part is even more rambly.  Can't wait.

[VelourSpirit]

ooh I didn't know it was out either, downloading it now. what an absolute dream guest.

I have nothing to add to this, as it mirrors my thoughts entirely. A fantastic episode.

And here's the Berkoff interview Chris was talking about! https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04bmvvx

If rocks were sentient they would get fucking bored, sitting there all day doing nothing, not being able to move or express themselves. It sounds like a belief for nihilists

Especially if they are in a Sam Smiths pub so can't even check the internet on their phones.

I quite liked the Pullman episode, it was like having afternoon tea with an avuncular Oxford don.

Pebbles aren't sentient, though, Phil. Talking absolute bollocks there, mate.

He's going to need to retire his "have you seen my phone charger" jingle as that is EXACTLY like dear old Phil

I only hope that the percussive sounds of "Pullmann makes the tea" get turned into a jingle in future eps.

(I haven't heard the Morris one yet, so don't spoil me if he's already done it.)

CM is very posh, isn't he? Not a criticism, just struck me perhaps because I don't often hear him out of character.

[The Roofdog]

My brain refuses to imagine Brooker & Morris writing Nathan Barley together. Just flat out refuses. It's either a Brooker or Morris solo project depending on the context I'm thinking about it in.

Don't think I've ever heard anyone use the word 'germane' in an actual conversation before. Might attempt to use it soon. Only if it's, you know, relevant.

Just watched some of this old bit of the Adam and Joe Show where they visit the Rugrats animations.

It's reminded me why I didn't like Adam and Joe until the radio shows. They just turn up and take the piss. Why is it a funny joke to go and take the piss out of a load of people working on a popular kids' show? I suppose the staff could have been in on it but even then "the joke" seems quite meanspirited. It seems so at odds with the Adam in the Adam Buxton podcast, who just seems humble and friendly.

That was from a series called Adam & Joe's American Animation Adventure. Their pisstakey style in that show was kind of like their presenter personas in People Place. From a production standpoint I'd wager that the staff were briefed that they were going to ask inane questions and muck about.

[Twed]

There's a lot of stuff that was shameful that they've renounced as they grew up a bit. You Break It You Pay For It was the height of their posh-boy privileged shittery.

[marquis_de_sad]

Even at the time they agonised about it and said it was extremely stressful. They're not bad lads, really.

I think that's likely too, it's just weird how the end result (staged or not) is "Adam and Joe turn up and bully some people at work". So at odds with the latter-day Adam and Joe loveliness.

I suppose the only point I'm making here is: right, yes, I remember why I used to think Adam and Joe were cack.

Of course, but you can see the wrongness that made them think it was a good idea to even bother with. I remember being a bit of a shit too.

It's not massively removed from fucking up a restaurant and throwing a bunch of money on the floor as they leave.

I want ever interview to have one of these moments.

I never minded A&J's endless super-ironic pisstakery that much until their mate (a lovely podcast guest but a turd of a director) dropped the ball on the Hitchhikers movie and then they mumbled something about filmmaking being very difficult and moved on to the next topic.

Start losing friends, or lose your pisstaking credentials guys.

And have you seen The Kid Who Would Be King?!

[rasta-spouse]

I have no eyes anymore because of that fucking film.

[Twed]

I don't think anybody has.

It is fairly largely removed I would say, both in terms of intention and what it says about them. They were just taking a prank to its logical conclusion without really thinking it through rather than not caring what they did as long as they could pay for the damage. I doubt they used their money to pay for it either so the posh-boy privilege thing doesn't really work either. It was naivete rather than arrogance

[Twed]

You have really missed the point of you thought the class element of this was about personally having the funds to reimburse them.
