Athletico Mince

[Mantis Toboggan]

I don't really get the Omsk stuff. Like most of Andy's stuff the comedy is unfocused. His music sounds nothing like the sort of trance that he would produce and the other stuff is just lolrandom. It's the same with Mark Lawrenson's lists. What are they trying to do?

The Lawrenson lists are indeed garbage. The Omsk stuff I see as a pretentious DJ constantly trying to think outside the box as a point of difference. It's not highbrow, or even clever, but it's funny.

[phantom_power]

I can see what he is trying to do but I think it isn't specific or funny enough, and the style of music is all wrong. I suppose it doesn't help that he shares a podcast with the master of creating a fully-realised character with minimal details

[Blinder Data]

£30 for an hourlong show is taking the piss. It feels like a deliberate choice so they can cram two shows in a night.

However, my friend bought me a ticket so now I think it's gonna be great

based on his other tunes, i assume they sound like that because he dosent really know what hes doing with music software, which makes me laugh, the idea of him lobbing a load of stuff into audacity, saying 'fuckin hell man' to himself at the result

Very much looking forward to the Brighton 9pm show tonight. Give me Mrs.Beardsley, Neil Hunt and maybe a South African and I will be a very happy boy.

Has anyone been to a live show yet? Would love to read a review. I'm going on Thursday to the Bristol show.

I watched and enjoyed the video they made of one of their 2016 shows. It's on their Patreon site, if you have access to that.

As you'd expect, it's more or less a live version of the podcast. Songs, sketches, Bob and Andy having a daft (albeit scripted) chat, all the usual Mince ingredients. There's visual element too, it's not just the pair of them sitting on chairs.

Yeah, i've had that video for a few years. I was talking about the current tour.

I've got to say I was slightly disappointed. There were some very, very funny bits but I'm not quite sure that the 'banker' bits were as good as they could've been. It's hard to put a finger on. As a long time dismisser of Dawson, I also have to hold my hands up and say that he was actually pretty good, although there were a brief couple of tumbleweed moments.
I am probably being too harsh as I fuckin' love Mince, and I spent most of the night laughing - there was just the nagging feeling that it could've been better. Solid 7/10

Went on Sunday, the mask alone was worth the entrance fee. And Bob's face while doing certain characters.

Oh yes, the mask is excellent :)

[dunelm]

There's several moments in the recorded live show where Andy is going through the motions and is getting no response. Painful to watch. You do wonder why Bob doesn't say to him beforehand, 'Andy, that's shit, don't do it'.

Are you going to any of these live shows dunelm?

[dunelm]

No the, wouldn't be able to skip Andy's sections.

[the]

How come you didn't skip them when you were watching the video?

[dunelm]

I started off giving him the benefit of the doubt, then he did a few 'mini dies' and then I skipped.

Well, once you know what's coming... :)

You could apply that timesaving logic of swerving predictability more generally

[SteveDave]

To quote my friend Tim

Bob did this bit where he was dancing and plays an air horn and everyone was in hysterics. Andy did the exact same bit later to stoney silence

BBC using the Peter Beardsley music from @AthleticoMince as a backdrop for their Auschwitz photos was a difficult watch for different reasons...

[Jittlebags]

The version without the clock obviously adds more gravitas,

Dog-dirt.

"Alright Bob, bit of trouble with the foreign lads"

[petril]

cannot WAIT for all incidental music to be Peter Beardsley. Trickle about to become a flood

Background music here! "I pick the team, from the adults in the squad!"

I laughed (out loud) at something Andy did on the latest episode.

Guru?

[phantom_power]

The guru is another Andy character that goes nowhere after the first couple of appearances, and the less said about those fucking mango songs the better

It was a great Homes Under The Hammer and Crime Files this week though. Bob's Nigel Pearson was another character masterclass

That Crime File almost had me cracking up at the bus stop this morning.  I look weird and awkward enough as it is, without Bob's help.

[SteveDave]

Guru?

No the "Stay Hydrated" bit

[dunelm]

Andy said something last episode that made me laugh. Can't remember what it was though, other than it occured in general chat rather a character bit.

It was odd because after I laughed, I thought 'Fuck me, Andy just made me laugh!'. It was the noteableness of it. 

[robhug]

The latest episode had seemingly a perfect Scottish tale natural ending, but no, Andy pipes up with a diabolical rushed fucking mango song that tainted the WHOLE episode for me.
