Athletico Mince

[DrGreggles]

new Mince

lovely little McClaren bit to kick things off

Yes, it's a cracker.

Usually appears 3 days later for non-Parsnips.

[Pseudopath]

Nigel the Nonsense Potter has quickly become my favourite ever Mince character. "Are you in the keeping of a fucking evil goose?!"

[phantom_power]

Is you mind out of sequence?

[dunelm]

Is you mind out of sequence?

Buckled hard at that. Strong episode.

[phantom_power]

It was a corker. Bob has a really strong set of bits at the moment, with his crime files, homes under the hammer man, Steve McClaren and Sean Dyche song. I didn't even miss gangs of the EPL or British Manager's Club

[Nice Relaxing Poo]

Steve McLaren's unbelievably camp and fey voice just makes me giggle constantly during his segments, it seems to have gotten much more wimpy in the last few episodes.

[Mantis Toboggan]

Great episode. Beardsley's wife was on top form.

[non capisco]

Really funny ep from start to finish. Beardsley's wife describing Eggs Benedict as 'too fuck-en elaborate' made me roar. And, yes, 'Is your mind out of sequence?'

[Old Gold Tooth]

What a joy these are. I love that they've been going so long but there's still so much fresh material.

Crime Files is brilliant and Nonsense Potter's constant state of simmering fury makes me smile as soon as I hear it.

[Captain Z]

What is the sound effect Bob keeps playing during Crime Files supposed to be? A motorbike? I just don't 'get' that bit yet, but agree that Nonsense Potter is a great character.

[Old Gold Tooth]

Yeah I think it's a motorbike sound effect but is meant to be an "alarming transition" sting whenever time passes.

I know you what you mean, I didn't love the first Crime File but it might be my fave bit now.

[DrGreggles]

Isn't it meant to represent that 'eerie' sound affect that all the true crime podcasts use?

[Old Gold Tooth]

Isn't it meant to represent that 'eerie' sound affect that all the true crime podcasts use?

Yeah, that and as a sort of "audio buffer" that those shows to try and build tension. Summat like that I think.

[non capisco]

I liked the fact that they were using what sounded like tropical forest ambient background noise for a car dealership in Cheshire.

[bgmnts]

I know everyone has mentioned how brilliant Mr Nonsense Potter is but fuck me I can listen to that hundreds of times and still get chesty coughs, almost like early McClaren.

"I've read him books about bullying! We go to CHURCH for CHRIST'S SAKE. HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING TO LOVELY US!?"

[Mantis Toboggan]

I'm pretty sure Bob killed the Nonsense Potter on his first appearance. It was when Maguire and Vardy moved to the countryside and disturbed the peace. Thank god the death wasn't serious.

[DrGreggles]

It's a different nonsense potter each time.
Every town has one!

[PlanktonSideburns]

Missed first episode, so had no idea what that insane industrial noise they blasted at random over the crime files bit was. The sheer nonlinearity of it had me howling

[Stoneage Dinosaurs]

^ I think it's meant to be a kind of suspenseful atonal sting.

[shiftwork2]

It really works, and why it does is up to Bob.  It's very funny.

[dunelm]

It really works, and why it does is up to Bob.  It's very funny.

It's classic Bob, written down 'Motorcycle Noise' or whatever the fuck it is it doesn't look like anything at all. But it's repeated use is very funny.

Exactly.

I lost it in a Post Office queue at "MY BROTHER SELLS SWORDS!"

Nobody does the unexpected non sequitur better than Bob. Though they sort of make sense, in Bob's world.

[DrGreggles]

I lost it in a Post Office queue at "MY BROTHER SELLS SWORDS!"

Absolutely perfect line.

[Old Thrashbarg]

The Sean Dyche motivational speeches are my new favourite bit. I think I'd probably laugh if they just played the music for two minutes every episode, it's glorious. But then add:

Mud,
Graft,
Assault,
Lard,
And that's the Burnley way 

on top and I'm gone.

Endeavour without pleasure
Graft without guile

Pampering.

Thick cunt.
