The Adam Buxton Podcast

[thenoise]

I remember All Night Garage absolutely trouncing 'Christmas Party Time'.

[phes]

Listening to the first XFM show now. Pierce Brosnan is the current Bond. Madness.

Them having callers in is what really makes the XFM shows as good as they are

Indeed (spoiler for excellent XFM call that is probably worth waiting for)

I still really miss the 6music show. Podcasts are fine but those two doing live radio was a joy and there isn't anything like that show around.

[bgmnts]

Spotify somehow have every single Gerv, Smerch and Pilkers XFM show on their podcasts section. Fuck knows how but they do.

I knew it was going to be that call before I clicked the link. "Wunnee the boy on the bike?" Brilliant.

It was either gonna be that one or the guy who was calling from work(as a chef?) but appeared to be drunk to the point of being incomprehensible, much to Joe's delight.

Here he is! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-ZjZPNWJ9k

Great to hear that again, Joe really goes for him. Adam is great, but Joe's anarchic willingness to push the line used to really round out the partnership and give them an edge

Since it hasn't been posted here yet, here's the new Buxton/Bowie animation.

Got up the XFM show with the rubbish DVD game that Joe got at Christmas. It has always been one of my favourite Adam and Joe bits.

[TommyTurnips]

I just remembered another great xfm call. A child called in to celebrity regression and gave "Dot Cotton" as a completely genuine answer. Lots of laughing and general piss taking ensued as the subject of that segment is normally a film star not a soap actor. Then the kids dad apparently contacted them for laughing at their kids response to the wrong answer. I wonder if that bit is floating around out there.

[Sean Ymphs]

If we're doing favourite XFM calls, I love this caller's very dry responses:

From Stewart Lee's latest newsletter:

"I asked Adam if I could go on this massively popular podcast and he said yes which was very kind of him. It was fun hearing his Mark E Smith story from the horse's mouth and he asked me hard questions of the type I usually avoid."

[non capisco]

^ Can't wait for that!

[Mister Six]

Ooh, I don't ever check my emails but a Stewart Lee newsletter might get me to do it regularly...

[Sonny_Jim]

Popbitch is practically the only email outside of admin chuff I actually read nowadays.  Oh and the B3ta one.

Should be a good one, Adam is fairly disarming, but stage persona Stew is completely different to podcast interview Stew so it should be some chuckles.

[Spode]

Haven't got a link, but the guy who goes from asking 'what's an anecdote?' to thinking he's winning a DVD called Anecdote, to calling Joe a name dropper when he actually hears his anecdote is my favourite XFM call.

[Ferris]

Another tediously obsessed Stewart Lee fan here[nb]but I liked him before he got big, yeah?[/nb]. I am really looking forward to this!

[non capisco]

It's just dropped, Mr. Stew fans!

[sutin]

Ohhh, i'm looking forward to this. The few times i've heard them chatting they had good chemistry.

[Ferris]

It's just dropped, Mr. Stew fans!

Lovely stuff, thanks! Will put it on while I shallow fry these onions (not a euphemism).

[VelourSpirit]

I just made an involuntary gasping nose like "AWHWHH" seeing his name in my rss feed

[Icehaven]

I've been listening to these in order, and I'm only up to the 60s (currently on A&J Christmas 2017) but might have to make an exception for this one.

[poo]

Nice

[Virgo76]

It's good.
I was less up on the music stuff they discussed. Good on their comedy careers and how they were both basically jealous of each other in the mid 90s. Hadn't realised Lee didn't really benefit financially from Jerry Springer.

[Ferris]

The music discussion is nice for a whippersnapper like me. I'd never heard of Laurie Anderson but O Superman is terrific, and I doubt I would have come across it without Stew and Buckles mentioning it.

[Twit 2]

Really enjoyed the Lee one.

[jsgibble]

I adore the "mate" bit too.

There's an earlier version of it here https://youtu.be/dpbmfEs07sQ?t=2392 "They all stick up for him because they all live free in houses that he owns"

There's also the episode of Comedy Vehicle, series 4 episode 4, where he talks a bit about the younger comics. "And the problem with that routine, I read on facebook"

[Mobbd]

Really enjoyed the Lee one.

Yes, it was absolutely superb. Every moment. Not just a great Buxton but one of the great interviews full-stop.

The chemistry between them was perfect, both were on form, Adam was respectful but challenging, and Stew had some fascinating insights and stories. Densely packed with useful cultural information and things to look up later. Nice work, Buckles.

The whole "Mate!" story. Haha. Awesome. The crash helmet.

[Crabwalk]

A cracking ramble chat. I was at that 100 Club show where they shared a bill with David Cross so it was especially great to hear that little Mr Show / Spice Girls anecdote. The whole episode was full of lovely little bits like that.

Interesting that Stew asked Adam if he could come on the podcast and not vice-versa. I know he's in promotional mode for the Nightingales doc, but someone must've had a whisper with him that it'd be a good platform.

[Claude the Racecar Driving Rockstar Super Sleuth]

I was also at that 100 Club gig. It was an amazing line up. Do you, or anyone else, happen to remember another person on the bill that night? A nerdy looking bloke who never said a word, just repeatedly nodded at the audience.
