Rich mate if you've got Facebook there's a group for turners called wild turner spotting it's really dumb but the goal is to get as many turners as possible lol
Stewart Lee would be on my top 5 celebrities to have at a dinner party. Not because he would be interesting, but because he would hate being there. I'd probably invite 4 of the Russell's as well
I love it, I think I'm exactly as angry and disappointed to the point of rage, as Alexei, I agree with everything he says.. brilliant podcast, rediscovered Stewart Lee, Richard Herring etc lately, Thank you ✊
I met Steve Frost at Battersea tip a few years ago. I was playing Robyn Hitchcock's Spooked album really loud from my car and he came up to me and said "Is that Robyn Hitchcock?" I Said "Yeah" and he said "I was having a drink with him last night." I meet a lot of famous people at the tip.
It'd be great to have Alexei & Stew just blather on for an hour more frequently. Truly, dig hearing them get along and their senses of humour mingling.
I'm loving listening to the stuff about music hall. For a couple of years I used to work at The Players on Villiars St and a chap called Johnny Rutland used to do a turn as a ghost in an old Victorian night gown with the gradually extending arms and we used to pull him back and forth to the wings on a truck with visible ropes. What was amazing was his ability with an audience and just how funny and effortlessly accomplished he was. He'd been a jobbing comedy turn before vinyl came along and the artist was the recording. And the point Stuart makes about the middle eight totally resonates.
It is so rare now to hear about the Music Hall, let alone from people who clearly admire the artists and the era. So many great stories, if only people knew
@@zaygezunt I'm only in my 40's but through my work at the Players in my 20s I met one or two originals. Johnny Rutland was a standout who never retired as far as I know. Some of the artists had been part of the televised music hall that used to come out of Leeds Variety so you experienced a flavour of something genuine from the artists. My understanding is that of a layperson who worked behind the scenes but there seems to be something very kindred between the music hall and the early days of "alternative comedy", something cut throat, insane and even avant garde much Alexi and Stuart were saying. I cant really pretend to remember it so much as I was a cog in a curated piece of nostalgia.
@@royloveday4350 I'm not much older than you and I got into it through my mother (God bless her) who used to talk about her dad's favourite music hall acts. That got me reading more and I joined the British Music Hall Society - they're a lovely group of people!
Loved this so much that I think Stewart and Alexei should do this more often, a semi-regular thing. Love the pair of them and this just sounded so damned relaxed, Alexei clearly in his comfort zone.

I really enjoyed this. I've also just watched the thing you did with Owen Jones, and despite your concerns, I enjoyed that too. I can fully relate to the frustration of witnessing the destruction of a golden opportunity.
Own Jones is a little shit who collaborated with the lies about antisemitism being present in the Liarbour Partei. Sturmer has made Liarbour the most antisemitic partei in Europe and Jones has got the Sham Chakrabarti gig he was always after.
I went to see Alexi live at the Epstein in Liverpool a year ago just as COVID was hitting, half the audience were like me over 50 bald with grey beards, it was like we were all cosplaying Alexi. The tour should have been called Lexicon .
When I saw the title of this vid I thought "my two favourite comedians having a chat, great!" then I saw how long it was and thought "YES! Back of the net!"
You’ll probably like the one from a while back where Stew interviews Alexei about his book, could have been longer but still great long form historical analysis of comedy from these two greats ❤️
What really stands out is the fact that both of you can create comedy out of everyday mediocrity. I understand it because I'm scum at the bottom and can relate to it directly.
He wishes he’d been a scouser, but his midland suburbia counterpart , Julian Cope, went to CF Motte in Liverpool at the moment of the zoo animal release ( tigers, lions etc ) and Stew went to a nice school and Oxford. But whatever, I feel privileged to have grown up in such times. A joy.
Best episode so far Alexei. Two comedians who have never sold out and have kept their integrity. I was thinking however, just for balance, how about getting Baddiel on next? I'm sure you'ld have lots to discuss
Great podcast, thanks to both of you and all the crew. I love my radio and podcasts. I am most interested in your comments about the Beeb. I hear a lot of people totally diss the Beeb, and yet I still find all kinds of good stuff. I love the comedy, the dramas, the gardening programmes (even they have got a bit of diversity now). I dislike the news/current affairs in terms of ‘THE NEWS’ and headlines. It’s tabloid, narrow, and biased. I would never rely on the Beeb to keep me informed about what goes on within these shores, or around the world. Yet step sideways, to From Our Own Correspondent, or the World Service, and expand your vision. I'd hate to lose those. I don’t have a telly. It is the same there? And I rely quite a lot on satirists of the news to fill me in on the background. What do you all think?
There was a 2000AD story in the 80’s where Marlon Brandon is killed by a wall of oranges falling on him when he opens a cupboard door to the chorus of “Mind the oranges, Marlon!”. This is what immediately came to mind when you talked about the shotgun and the catchphrase at dinner parties. I think this make the shotgun story legit.
My best mate at school had his letter published on the Dr and Quinch problem page they occasionally did. Responding to readers dilemmas in a one page strip. I wish I could find that page, my pal snuffed it years ago, it'd be sweet to have.
@crabhat1 you Superstar! Thanks, it was many years ago now he left us. I've failed miserably over the years searching for the strip in question.... But if you say they are all collected there that's great news! Off to hunt. Thanks. If curious the issue in particular was my friend being in despair at his surname, that's how I remember it, so long ago. Something along the lines of how unpopular it made him and what should he do?! His surname was "Bint". 😁
1:08:12 - "I'd sworn never to wear evening dress until Palestine was free." I second Stewart's reaction to that bolt from the sacré bleu. Also hopelessly on board with the jester / shaman parallel.

I can relate to comedy becoming a confession of broken dreams shared together as trajick yet majick and therapy amounts to realisation we are not alone. They made the people laugh, hey buddy can you spare a dime!
two of my faves in one place........i heard a VERY positive story about alexi doing a gig at drop the dumbulls in liverpool for some mates of mine.......huge love to you dude from your newest subscrtiber
@An Armchair You can sit for hours on TH-cam alone just thinking of old bands and songs then have them up on screen. But yeah, ever since I made that comment I just keep hearing Mark shouting the word “Bodyform-ah” in my head.
@An Armchair That would have been a sight to see. As it stands, we can only wonder what the director and production team were thinking as Mark reached into his pocket, looking thoroughly disinterested, and started reading from a scrap of paper. The song worked amazingly well though and I think Mark secretly enjoyed being worshipped by these bands even though he was never less than dismissive of of them at best. I still believe his Newsnight appearance to remember the late John Peel remains the best tribute I’ve ever seen. John would have loved it beyond words.
Stephen Frost was part of the Oblivion Boys with Mark Arden. Saw them live a couple of times. Very funny. Remember Stephen hypnotising Mark into believing that the onion he was chomping on was an apple. Brought tears to my eyes so it did.
More Sandwich bar please, its stops the sense of despair metered out by the tories and the right wing billionaires fuelling the tufton street mafia death wish
Actually Alexie did appear personally in a commercial,tho it was done for a N.Z bike company to the tune of " ello John got new motor" which was obviously changed to bike instead,this was late 80's when I used to live there.
Fuckin’ A. And I first saw Alexei aged 6 in Kirkby when my mother taught at St Basils, and 17 years later I stood on stage with Michael Redmond - it was Hackney 1989 - and I won the prize - when he did the “a lot of people say to me..”GEt out of my garden”. The best joke Michael did related to his very small wife, that was always about a half mile behind him as they staggered home from the pub. She was very small and had short legs, but he really loved her.. brilliant.
I know of a man can attract back your ex or any thing within 24 hours He was the one who brought back my ex within 24hours , ever since I got back with my ex I have been enjoying my reunion with her
I own Terry Frost's photographic studio lights. I bought them off Steve at his home and he had been out for a drink with his brother that very afternoon. The mystery of how there are more than one Frost son unraveled......
check out some old clips. He has properly evolved, without entirely giving up on the human race. and has never given up on his politics. More recently he did a radio show called Imaginary Sandwich Bar which is v funny, v political and v shouty!
I find it Hilarious Alexei Sayle's podcast with Owen Jones went out the day previous to this, and it was funny that Alexei was ungrateful for Owen's Jones support. Much like Stewart Lee's attack on James Corden after Cordon said he liked much of Lee's work
The UK is increasingly and blatantly, right-wing authoritarian, with the full support of Establishment puppet Sir Keir. Banning books which oppose this grossly unfair, unjust system. Allowing its agencies to murder with impunity. Millions of families having to depend on food banks to survive and the incremental privitisation of the NHS, are accepted norms. Effectively, a one-party state with no opposition to this fake democracy based on greed, privilege, gross injustices against the poor, sick, vulnerable etc. Propped up and enabled by so-called 'free press' owned and controlled by right-wing billionaires, plus state broadcaster BBC propaganda-wing of the right-wing Establishment. A republic based on real democracy - where monarchy is a self-financing tourist attraction - is the only realistic solution. Anything less will always end in bitter disappointment for the many good people working for a fair and just society. www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/oct/01/ban-anti-capitalist-resources-schools-stifle-dissent-orban-hungary
I also find it funny my Dad is 58 this time round, he has not a grey hair in sight. And Stewart Lee has aged rather terribly and has only just broached past the 50 mark.
Michel Lotito might be who Alexei was talking about with the "German who eat a Volkswagen." I recall seeing this guy on Wogan, Nationwide, That's Life or similar and he was a Frenchman who eat a Mini.
Remember Steve Frost & Mark Arden in the first series of The Young Ones - various hapless characters, presumably their own material, inserted into that week's storyline. The thick Coppers, the Skinheads trying to get into the party etc.
Stewart's comment about this being the "Most relaxed podcast" is as on point as his usual observations. (I can refer to him so informally, as I now count him as a "Personal friend" just like I do you Alexei) {All be it, a one way street :) } By the way Alexei, check out my bike ride vids! Very different from yours. 🙂
I almost went to a dinner party in Islington once. I was election canvassing and I rang a bell to get the residents details and they just buzzed me in. There was opera playing and lovely smelling food being cooked. We laughed and then I left.
Many Alternative (left-wing) comedians eventually did advert voice-overs. It was part of the decline of the left-wing through the 1980s. The earnings for half a day way above a whole series input. Insane economics.
I love dinner parties where the hostess shouts at her husband “DON’T GET THE SHOTGUN OUT!”
A dinner party's not really complete otherwise
Bloody amazing, I could listen to these two all day. Absolutely brilliant, more please!!
Funny, ridiculous and insightful. This pair make the charming combo. You two should do more of this kind of talk together!
This is brilliant. You and Stu have a natural empathy, as cynical misanthropes, and work very well together. More!
It was so good, mutual respect so no bullshit.

Effectively, a one-party state with no opposition to this fake democracy based on greed, privilege, gross injustices against the poor, sick, vulnerable etc. Propped up and enabled by so-called 'free press' owned and controlled by right-wing billionaires, plus state broadcaster BBC propaganda-wing of the right-wing Establishment. A republic based on real democracy - where monarchy is a self-financing tourist attraction - is the only realistic solution. Anything less will always end in bitter disappointment for the many good people working for a fair and just society. www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/oct/01/ban-anti-capitalist-resources-schools-stifle-dissent-orban-hungary
I also find it funny my Dad is 58 this time round, he has not a grey hair in sight. And Stewart Lee has aged rather terribly and has only just broached past the 50 mark.
It was Gerard de Nerval who used to walk a lobster on a leash.
Lovely
Alexei in the uniform of an Austro-Hungarian hussar; I cannot unsee that!
Would love to see more of you too, gonna sub for future vids :)
Stewart Lee sounds like he's made out of butter, and wearing shoes that his Nan knitted.
Room full of books
Curse you nan for making me wear this sweater this way!
Love it Friday night sorted..
Donde esta señor ganso / pato? .
me alegre que hablas y entiendes castellano.
Michel Lotito might be who Alexei was talking about with the "German who eat a Volkswagen." I recall seeing this guy on Wogan, Nationwide, That's Life or similar and he was a Frenchman who eat a Mini.
Remember Steve Frost & Mark Arden in the first series of The Young Ones - various hapless characters, presumably their own material, inserted into that week's storyline. The thick Coppers, the Skinheads trying to get into the party etc.
Stewart's comment about this being the "Most relaxed podcast" is as on point as his usual observations. (I can refer to him so informally, as I now count him as a "Personal friend" just like I do you Alexei) {All be it, a one way street :) } By the way Alexei, check out my bike ride vids! Very different from yours. 🙂
My sister-Paddy-listen! OK, I collapse
I almost went to a dinner party in Islington once.
I was election canvassing and I rang a bell to get the residents details and they just buzzed me in.
There was opera playing and lovely smelling food being cooked.
We laughed and then I left.
< as close as you can get to listening to the next table at the local / excellent! >
Jjjjjj
Many Alternative (left-wing) comedians eventually did advert voice-overs. It was part of the decline of the left-wing through the 1980s. The earnings for half a day way above a whole series input. Insane economics.
I hate adverts but I love advertising money, two or three days worth and the buy out covers my basic expenses for the rest of the year.
Pity about the ropey sound quality at times....
