I'm glad I caught this. I got so sick of the 'Andy Murray has retired' love-in on all the other channels I put LBC on. Sweeney does tend to prattle-on, but it's interesting stuff and he's clearly well respected, plus he's able to articulate himself in a very non-patronising informative way. The questions were pretty good too. Sweeney seems like a bit of a loose-cannon too, which I like.

Yeah, I like him, he reckons he is on Putin's hit-list, but down near the bottom of said list 😁

I think I overdosed on politics and serious news in the run up and aftermath of the GE. I've gone completely the other way and am taking refuge in sport and lightweight news. My favourite headline today is on page 3 of the Telegraph: 'Stalker harassed bus driver for 60 years because he thought he was Johnnie Ray.' :D (only DT readers would be old enough to remember Johnnie Ray))

Poor old Johnnie Ray as in the Dexy's song? 😁

I'm the same. I'm literally just listening to Ian Payne on LBC but I do enjoy Nick A and Carol's podcast.

Otherwise it's mainly music stations. I've even stopped looking at Twitter because that it such mess these days. Absolutely full of nutters.

ANNOUNCEMENT: As you will understand I am devastated I can't be at the Fringe this year but I have to put my health first. When I finall realised I wouldn't be able to go, @MatthewStadlen was the first person I thought of to ring and ask to step in. He's a auperb, insightful interviewer and audiences will love him. Right, off for an MRI scan!

Do keep us informed Iain, we're all so desperate to fill our sad, lonely, empty lives with your every move.

Honestly, it's times like this I actually do wish I was famous and had loads of followers hanging-on my every word on social media ... so I could call out this self-absorbed bullshit. Of course, after about 3 weeks I'd have no one to follow and call out...:ROFLMAO:

Poor old Iain. He must have been really desperate for someone if he had to call on Stadlen.

Still if there is any trouble in the crowd he can use his "street fighting man" claims and persona to sort it.
 
I listened to the latest episode of Iain's For the many podcast this morning. Iain phoned in from his bedside at the start. He sounded close to tears and feeling very very sorry for himself to be honest.
He had to let us know though that people in hospital recognised him from his gmb appearances and the guy in the bed next to him was a twitter follower of his.
Carolyn Quinn did put her foot in it when she talked about Iain and his partner sharing a bed and Iain had to correct her and say they didn't sleep together. Quite an awkward moment. :ROFLMAO:
Overall though the podcast was much better than the Iain and Jacqui ones had been recently. Less fawning over how great each presenter was and much more actual content. Maybe Iain should just retire and hand the format over to someone else.
 
Ian really fucked things up with that crazy attempt to get elected didn’t he? Everything’s gone wrong since. All this ill health is probably his body eating itself with jealousy that JS has finally landed herself a peerage and where is he now? Lost the plumb election presenting job, lost the pod, lost the tour. lol. Pride comes before a fall Iain.

Maybe Stadlen was the only one available at short notice?;)

Oh well...Iain will have to console himself with updates on his bowel movements which must be quite illuminating.

There's a vacancy at the BBC for a senior newsreader? Might fit the bill.

LBC should have told Iain where to go when he left and then crapped out of standing for election.
 
Ferrari still flying high,

Ian Payne should write a book about his love life. He was talking again about the date he went on with a woman who was 4 hours late and by the time she got there he was so pissed he couldn't function. Then he was talking about an ex who wanted to get back with him and he thought about it until he remembered her camping outside his front door and him locked inside. 🤣

Different to my younger days when there was no such things as mobile phones, I had a strict 30 minute limit on a first date. Hanging round like a sad puppy because someone else can't be arsed to turn up on time, nah.
 
Thank heaven LBC seem to have dropped this ghastly person.
