 I'm delighted to say that the 1878 FM podcast is sponsored this season by Green Kingsport Pubs where football is more than a game. Green Kingsport venues are showing every single evidentelevage game across the 23-24 season as well as a host of other Premier League games. With over 900 venues across the UK it doesn't matter where you're based you'll be able to catch the action. Head over to Green Kingsport Instagram page and give them a follow at Green Kingsport. Now without further ado let's get on with the podcast. Hello welcome to the 1878 FM podcast myself, Edd and Dave once again. We are bushless, he will make an appearance at some stage, a small appearance. We are bushless but like you said last week Dave it is very much, he's not consistent in his appearances in this podcast. He will just be now and then it seems. I think the balance has shifted. I think that last season when he was technically part of the squad but then had a dubious attendance record within there based upon fitness and children. Whereas now I feel that actually he isn't in the squad and will just come back on occasions. I think what this is, I don't think we should be apologising from every week because I don't think that it's not our job to do that. I don't want people to expect something that realistically is never going to happen. I don't think he's quite hit the Damari Grey levels. I mean I've not seen him anyway saying he can't speak it. He did say to me that he was worried that Pedd didn't show him enough respect. I'll be honest, I've been trying to get him on a Saudi Arabian podcast. I just feel like that's a market that we could explore using Bush. Well they're very fond of the Bush there. They don't have much Bush so having Bush would be a novelty. It's a novelty they'd like to explore. It's whether he'd like to explore that novelty. I get it now, I get it. The picture is in my head of the Bush on the sand. Dave, would there be a camel involved? That's always extra I find. The involvement of animals is always extra. I think Dave was more leaning towards a view you may take from a but. Say you were looking down on a camel, you would see the camel toe. I think that's where Dave was more leaning towards with the Bush. It depends which way you look. You could also see the camel's hoof if you were looking the other way. It all depends on the angle Barry. It does, we've got off to an office that. It's the sand that gets everywhere. It gets everything doesn't it? Maybe that might be the deal breaker for me. Are they like oil and water? Do sand and Bush mix well together? In my experience no. No. Okay. Yeah. Okay Dave, Everton play. On to Everton. Who have started the season very much like the start of this podcast today, not brilliantly. 2-2 at Sheffield United at the weekend. Two points dropped or a point gained for you? I think the way that it ended up. With the Pickford heroics at the end, I think it was probably about the right result, to be honest with you. But I think my issue during the game, especially during the second half, and it just dawned at me and I just kind of thought. If we're to have any realistic chance of not being in the relegation dog fight, which looks highly unlikely already. We have to be beaten sides like Sheffield United with the greatest respect to them. They're not one of the better sides in the league. And I thought that they were about our level. And I think that actually, as a sort of acid test, I think they showed us a lot and told us a lot that game. I don't know. I fear. I look at the fixtures and already now, at the beginning of September, I'm starting to do what we've done in the new year for the past couple of seasons, where you start trying to work out how many more points you can get or how many points are realistic. Already at this moment now, I'm sort of going, well, Luton at home and Bournemouth at home are two massive games now. And they're an absolute must win because you look at the fixtures either side of them and you don't fancy getting us getting anything against Arsenal. Brentford away will be tough. We've got Villar in the Cup. Doesn't really count what doesn't count. And then you're into Luton at home and Bournemouth at home ahead of the Derby. And so those have to be points that we have to get and that's the way I'm looking at it in a minute. And I think that's fair enough, I think. I'm frustrated Saturday because I thought it was a massive opportunity, albeit we did make a great double save in injury time on injury time. I don't know what the ref is playing at. But I just thought it was a big opportunity. It is frustrating that people will look and will point through, follow my own wolves at home and now Sheffield United and say, I haven't played well enough if you want to use that term in all three of those games and should have more points. But we haven't. But you haven't yet. You're absolutely right. And on the day the three teams you've played were easily beatable. And we've only took a point and they're not three great sides. The teams you've got to beat, as Dave said, if you want to stay away from that area. I mean, we are going to be in and around it. There's other teams who are poor as well. So it's difficult to see where the points are going to come from. But it's also difficult to see where the points are going to come from for other teams. And everything you've just got to make sure they start picking some up and start showing a little bit of form. Obviously scoring a couple of goals was good. But obviously the goals we conceded were poor. And as Dave said, the Luton and the Brenford game are absolutely huge. I mean, put Brenford in there as well. They're born with the homes easy. But we've got to start picking points up from the likes of Brenford. And just get ourselves in that little mix. And it shows you, doesn't it? It does show you that if you're always playing catch-up, you'll be playing catch-up during the season as well. And whilst everyone else is, not everyone has a settled team. But if you're chasing what you need into the season, like we have for the last couple of seasons, you're always behind. And this is what's happened. It's a great saying. Well, we look like we've got the basis of a decent team, but it has to bed in, it has to get used to playing with each other. That should happen pre-season. Well, just what you've said there. The one big plus I would say since we've done the last pod is Beto, who came in and he was very good against Doncaster. You'd expect him to be decent. I thought he was excellent on Saturday. And he is someone just like yours. He is someone who, hey, gives me hope very much like Eddie Grantas. Do you want it too? Exactly. And I've seen enough there. I've seen enough there to think, yeah, he's going to be harmful and he'll create chances. But it's just that you said, imagine if we'd have gone on in the week of the full-on game, and he would have been off-front against the full-on, and he would have been off-front against the full-on. But they didn't realise that we needed a striker. This is it. Nobody knew this. They didn't know before the season that we needed somebody who could assist us. But you know what I mean, Dave. You don't have become a parent after a few games. You know what I mean, though, if either being in that's chances of he's harmful, at least, isn't he? Yeah. No, I mean, he does. He looks really good, I think. And I don't just mean that against, you know, bottom of division two position in Doncaster. I think he looks really good. I think he looks strong. He's got good feet. He's fast. He's... Yeah, I think he's got it all, you know? And so I'm really encouraged so far. And likewise, I thought he played well at Bramel Lane. I was... I quite fancied him at one point. I kind of thought, you know, what better for the winner here? Yeah. See it come in now. I just thought they just felt right to me. You know, when we were sitting at 2-2, I thought, yeah, better for the winner. And that would be right. You just didn't create anything that way? Did we create anything for him? He looked back at us. He was side towards the end. He looked back at us at the end. But that's extra. You wonder though, you wonder why that deal couldn't be done in the summer. It's actually the way to work, though. The financial stuff hasn't really changed the stuff we know. We know we're over a barrel. We know there's real problems and obviously what we've done on Deadline Day selling a woby, it all points to that we're all wide awake to that fact now. But you do wonder why that deal couldn't be done earlier on. If the deal is so good for us, if it's like we're not paying, so it's not like we went back on that list and we'll do you a great deal where we will give you money off of it. The deal's great for us, so why couldn't that have been done three weeks earlier? It's so weird. And also that then transfers to, you know, even modestly, maybe four points. Absolutely. You know, so far. And that four points will be massive come the end. Absolutely. Absolutely. You know, and that's the harsh reality of the situation. And now I agree. I don't know what's changed. I really don't know what's changed. But even when you said in the end, right now, having four points would make a massive difference because no, I know you're right. But I mean, just like the pressure, there's obviously, when we come back for that Arsenal game, there's going to be pressure on Sean Beish. There's pressure on the club as a whole with everything going on. You know, it would have took the, if you're in the mid, four points was what, be like mid table right now. Mid table. And you're just thinking, that's where, when, you know, when we had Rafa Binita's, his really good start. It got us, you know, it kept us away from trouble till like January. And even in January, we were like 12th when he got sacked. And it doesn't, it doesn't have to get you away from the trouble. But we're in it. Question for you both then. Go on. If you had to put money on it now, does Dice make the end of the season go? No. Not if Bas has got anything to do with it. Head. I'm not saying whether you want him to make the end of the season. No, I'm saying that. Will he be there in May? If everything was even now, but can we even afford to sack him? What I'm saying it, the reason why I'm saying it is, this own it has got history of bulletin on people. Of getting rid of people. When the tips are done, so to speak. You've just mentioned a couple of fixes. Even haven't won a Premier League game this season so far. We come back with Arsenal at home. They've just bounced United and looked lively and then breathed away. If even have played six games and haven't won a single game, I just don't see how the manager stays with this owner. And if they get dumped in the couple against Villar as well. He's already the favourite to be sacked. And then Everton will have give up another two games. Now that's not me saying should you or shouldn't he? Your question, what do you think? And I'm just saying history would suggest that if Everton do lose the next two, that far-ad-Mashiri will get rid of this your own doubt. Because here looking at, we've played six games and haven't won a single one. And we could be like five points of drift or whatever. That's what I was saying. If we'd have won one of the games, he'd have been fine then, wouldn't he? And that's the frustration. What I do find is quite interesting. His record is abysmal. His record is like two wins and 15, which is as bad as what Lampard did and as bad as what Bernice's did. This win day shows less than Frank's, isn't it? It is really interesting that people... I mean, I've heard this week that he's a medical worker. I really don't understand that at all. But the idea that we went... I think we had won winning 14 under Rafa Bernice's and he had to flack and Lampard, but we've had two. And we've scored seven goals at home since I took over. We have scored one goal in games. So it's not like he's pulling up any trees. But there is, there's obviously circumstances as well, which don't help them either. So everyone's got to improve. Yeah, absolutely. I get the sense at the minute that Daish is feeling the pressure and is starting to display outwardly the fact that there are major problems at the club. I mean, we know that there's major problems at the club, but you know what I mean? I think he used to... He was holding more of a party line and more of an optimistic take on things and I just feel recently in a few interviews he's looking a little bit rattled to me and a little bit like, well, do you know what? Or do you want me to do about it? I can't because of X, Y and Z. Well, this is, I think what you've got to look at when you're looking at it is there's all of this stuff going on with 777. You know, and their reputation isn't great, let's shall we say, in the end, the media. So there's all that with Mr Sheary trying to get investors and everything. Dymar i greis naw cwm on basically said this fella doesn't respect me. I can't play for him or whatever. And once those cracks start appearing, the stuff going around, that players didn't want to come because it was shawndite, whatever. I don't know whether there's any foundation in them whatsoever but that's what's being mooted with a few different deals or whatever. And when that noise is there, someone needs to calm it down a lot of the time. You only ever calm that noise by winning games of football. Winning games of football buys you the time. And I do feel a bit sorry for him because he is the only one that ever has to face anything. If you're on else stage out the way, he's been thrown to the lions, he always has to face the press. And he always does to be fair. He never shirks a tackle in the press sense. He always comes out and he always speaks and... But yeah, I just feel... Dych chi'n ddwn lampa, didn't it at the end? In the January window, when he was under, he really was under massive pressure and rightly so, he was a bismol. He was having to say why Evan couldn't afford £15 million for Danny Ings. And I remember that press conference and he was fuming because Ings had gone to Westamptonville and he wanted them. He just wasn't happy. And it's like, who else fronts it? Nobody fronts it, do you think? But what I don't get about him is he goes into press conferences and he says they'll be funny and he isn't funny. I had another day with Joe Thomas and he's trying to be funny with Joe Thomas and he's trying to ask a question about the away form. And he jumps in and we've only played one Premier League game. He said, well, yeah, but I was referring to the absolutely horrendous first half against Don Caster and he was like, oh yeah, I don't know. And I was like, what? You've got no rapport with any of these people and because you don't show any respect to them, you turn up to press conferences half an hour later, half the time, you show no respect to them. You can understand why they don't feel anything for you. And it tries to be funny and it doesn't work because we're not in the situation to be funny. And then he has to face very difficult questions and it's not... We're not a painly, it's not painly where it's like everything's alright, let's talk about Bank of Dave or something. It's like... We have to talk about proper things that are going on and I do feel sorry for... because he has to face questions that he shouldn't have to face. No one at the football club is prepared to answer any of these questions. The director of football doesn't speak, the owner doesn't speak and he does it stupid. And he is the... And fair play to him for dealing with after things he has to deal with. Frank has to deal with them as well, it's pathetic. The football club in that sense of things is so poor that it leaves the manager to face questions that have not his decisions. And then it puts more pressure on, doesn't it? It hikes the pressure. Everybody has got to do better at the football club. The manager, the players, the director of football, the owner, the board. That is supposed to be new. But it's not really changed. It's all got to do better because at the moment we are trying to fight fire everywhere. But we did score a couple of goals in the last two games which is a big improvement from last time we recorded this. Andy Bush did send his thoughts in on the game and this is what he had to say. Hey Chaps, it's Bush coming to you from a busy Chinatown in Soho in central London. Hope you're doing okay. Sorry I can't be there. Thoughts on the Blues. I feel like we're improving. I feel like we've got a bit of impetus, the Beto effect. I felt like we had a good account of ourselves in the game against Sheffield United. Obviously a brilliant Pickford save at the end. Dan June were a no penalty thing, still frustrates me a little bit but that's the Everton way, isn't it? But I feel like we're getting there. We've just got to keep building on it. Which is still the number one manager out of all of them to get the chop odds on, which is kind of crazy. But we'll have to see how they keep on trucking. Also the Damari Grey situation is kind of weird with him obviously saying that the manager doesn't respect me as a person, which ain't a great start. We kind of need people like him now that we've lost to Woby. Big respect by the way to the person on Twitter who said that Woby runs like he's holding a hot tray of food, which made me laugh. Nice one and he's very positive there. He's saying shoot to recovery and all that fair enough and if you break that down Dave and say well okay, we've had a draw on a win in the last two games. He scored four goals. After the break we'll have Jack Harrison available, we'll have Dominic Halvitt-Lewan technically. Delhi's a bit closer, Sheamus Coleman's a bit closer. Everton will be a little bit stronger after the break. It's just talked about. I guess there is some reason to be positive and we always beat Arsenal, so that's an opportunity. I mean it was obviously a turning point last season wasn't it? Listen, why not? Busch is a happier smiley person than I am and I applaud that and it's nice to see his face full of optimism. No, I can't decide. And hair. Yeah, it is better. It is better than it was and as you say, there's players to come back which has got to be a positive. Beto has made a difference. He's given us some kind of long, much needed focus up front and a target man. So yeah, things are better. Are they where they need to be? No. Are they better than they were? Yes. I think it's as simple as that. I mean petr quickly on it as well with that is that there's a lot of stuff, a lot of like the chances going around. How many chances have it now are actually 3-8. The one, I keep saying this because this is the thing that perplexes me most. Well, that's good and I do believe that will translate into goals. I do think the more, the better options we get back in Dwight McNeill of course we sure come off the bench the other day but he was naked, he wasn't fit but he will be in two weeks. That will increase and I think we will start taking him but until we get the other end it will not structure wise because like individually it's hard because we don't know right at the weekend thought he had a plan to play quite well Patrick didn't don't know right Ashley Young don't know right but we still let two goals and pick for was good we have to sort and that's the bit I thought Dwight would have really solid. That was my perception. Yeah, you're absolutely right defensively but wide open half the time. As a team I'm not defending. The midfield doesn't really wake as such and it leaves the defence looking standard at times and it's it's a it's a concern. And it wasn't what we were sold. I think we were sold this idea that Sean Dice would get the defence absolutely solid organised be brilliant offset pieces defensively and offensively. It just hasn't played out like that and when you need two goals to win every game in a team that doesn't score goals it's going to be a struggle and obviously if we can get that sorted then it takes the pressure off but it's I just don't find any of it I don't really enjoy watching as I think we're a really hard watch and it's difficult and the way it shoots on Saturday watching Dan Jumar I think he had six successful dribbles which is the most in the Premier League this season so there are those little moments Dan Jumar will score goals as well I imagine he makes us better doesn't he for sure We are tough to watch though aren't we we are like really I thought on Saturday I thought on Saturday it's time to play some nice football attack on wise but then we'd roll into that thing where we look like we're 11 stages again it's like what is the idea what are we looking for what are we trying to do and this is the thing Dave do you think that he's maybe caught between the devil and the deep blue sea of being what he was of barely and maybe thinking what he has to be at Everton which is a little bit more because at Burnley I didn't watch them every week but they always seem to give most teams a tough afternoon and they seem to be four, five, one quite solid and Everton don't really he hasn't really done that of something with us do you think he's caught between the two or is it just not where is it him or is it the kind of the Bermuda triangle that is our club where you look is it that other factor that enables or doesn't enable a whole string of proven good managers of all different shapes and styles and patterns of play somehow not work at our club and I would have to go for that vague obscurity really because there's something not right and I don't know what it is I said last week get a priest in get a everyone every religious kind of person in there Batman Batman in there if you want them posts do whatever anything to try to get slip on it and break his hand a head of the gate a few days ahead on the day of the game that would just be weird locked up if you did it on the day of the game for numerous reasons but do whatever rabbis in setting the hat whatever it is setting the hat for the fires what did he do that for I don't know why he did it I don't know what he did it so you're advocating arson personal arson personal arson I thought that was the name of Wenger's book personal arson was he like the worst signing after Per Colger quite possibly he couldn't have the ball either what if we put fires and then piss on them to put them out maybe and there might be one area where you wouldn't piss on them if it was on fire that's a phrase probably other phrases are available in other parts of the world do anything to try to lift the stand deep had you a split case have you just buy good players no but we've had some good players and that's Dave's just said we've had varying degrees of managers two people who've won Champions Leagues of Manus Devon so and it there must be something they can't all be and it's just the fact that they're also vastly different in every single way and we've had new players though Dave it's not like it's the same squad from the seven years so something's going on but if only there was some kind of consistent feature of Everton for that 30 years that I can't quite put my finger on I can't quite put my finger on what that might be but then I'll don't know who it is well listen let's finish the Everton shot on a positive we are unbeaten and true we've got goals we have got Beto in and we have got Beto in that time things can only get better well exactly, Samuel Beto and we have Dan Duma with his goals which is good the snake is there we've got another snake we've got another snake in the few snake stories later it's not net and obviously tiara Branthwaite got in the team now and is doing quite well he hasn't got a snake not that I know of he's done quite well so things Andy Busch has said it's the bush mantra it is the bush mantra two snakes in a bush wave one in the hand I think that's how it goes or something okay what's he doing going round China town I don't know anyway it's so old with his refusing to shave he is refusing to shave do we think that there is potentially cause for concern that he might have lost touch with reality or given up on life I don't want to say this do you think he might have lost his job and he's just walking around south of London and he's telling his wife I have to say if only we could find out how would we find out whether he is still doing what he was supposed to be doing we wouldn't though do you know why they could have dropped got loads of clips of him cause he's been on the radio for ages hasn't he with Jason Cundy or whatever he does it with Jason Cundy it's Richie Cundy he was in happy days that's what he is as Richie Cunningham we know but he's done radio for long enough that he could have snipped up all the things he said and he just every day he's just talking about being a dolly fan on facebook he must have said maybe what they've done is maybe they've taken him off the overall output and then they've just sort of hidden him away somewhere on absolute 50s absolute bush absolute bollock absolute bushy bollocks but maybe if he does come to Saudi it can be absolute sand in his buzzing the sand of Saudi like the sound of Saudi he knows sand and vision with bush that's a good title for Middle Eastern based music that's not bad I think though he's a yachtman now so it would come into conflict with the sand he's very much a man of the sea maybe that's why he's grew the beard next with he'll have a peg leg I don't know whether he needs a peg leg but there will definitely be a Greek fisherman a Greek fisherman's jumper on the island in sort of like october time when it goes a little bit cooler well he isn't so ho that kind of thing flies in London only in a bit of a bushy's table exactly there you go on the island for fish finger sandwiches that cost £17 remember then when we were in a pub in London and they were like 13 quid then about 15 years ago they thought he didn't want to fire it was literally two birds eye fish fingers it wasn't even such a better come on it doesn't matter that in that pub it was that last together for 17 quid and you got a pint and we were in pain but they were like look at this lad look at this new invention we were like what fish finger sandwiches that you nan give you in 18 out scratch and they just couldn't believe it they were bouncing on the pub they were all wearing fisherman's jumpers they were wearing fisherman's jumpers and the Greek fisherman's had ten backwards and they were jumping do you know what my mum used to my mum used to make for me and my friends when I was little her speciality was fish dogs which was just like the little hot dog the little hot dog buns with the fish finger in there ok well that's got got better than what I thought I was thinking what is this fish dogs can I just say what country was this in this was in Hong Kong it sounds like a very Hong Kong you think they might have actually had I don't think that's got to warrington yet no that hasn't got to warrington yet but you could have a fish finger on a hot dog bun though that's exactly what I've just described I know I know I did hear it I was listening but I'm saying indeed that would be all over that in warrington in London that's 35 35, 85 I think yeah you know you could do that for 38, 95 you get that on the pint that's the discount I tried to calm my daughter into thinking that I was giving her something you know with culinary excitement by giving her fish tacos which is basically just it's a wrap that you buy in Tescos and then you just stick a couple of fish fingers in it and there you go isn't it nice fish tacos aren't they the way he described that it did sound like something you'd get on special offer in the townhouse but I prefer talking about this than Evan yeah it's well better Ned just whispered to us it's Dave from Hong Kong can I just whisper back subliminally if you want to to Ned in the gallery go on there you go you can't believe it Ned is you're not on this podcast stay out the way Ned Dave are you aware of the I mean you will be but the sensation I mean I've just realised that Ned's like well first and foremost I've just looked up at the screen and Ned is like basically will be sending a video to me more masking for like fish fingers and some money as a ransom why am I so light in this thing why have you made me like a ghost tell us that you don't tan that lightness is a bit anyway anyway for all people listening on the podcast I basically nothing is you can change it in any time but he refuses to stand up Dave are you aware of the Lionel Messi into Miami sensation where everywhere he goes the stars roll out are you aware of this I haven't heard any stories of them all rolling out to see Messi no so it is a bit of a big thing generally when they're at home Mr Beckham has quite the cast there but he played LaFC the other night the guest list had Selena Gomez Prince Harry Owen Wilson Meghan Markle LeBron James Owen Wilson Jason Shudekis The Fellow The Couchspeller Ted Lasso The Couchspeller Coach Beards Coach Beards Looks like famous American people Actually your mate was there My mate Nas was there NAS You were in New York and you got a picture of him Oh him? Yeah My mate The one who's on speed You only couldn't remember him because you haven't rung him back for so long You've ghosted him You've ghosted him I call him Nas not Nas That's why Prince Nazim Hammard What's he been doing getting invited over So this is like a big thing And it got me thinking obviously Everton moving to their stadium at some stage next season unless the club decided to leave an empty stadium that cost hundreds of millions to build empty for the rest of the scene before they got off because we can't afford it But when the stadium does eventually open What kind of guest list of people I said this to Pep before I said this is what we're going to do I'm going to do a guest list of people you'd want to see there But what you can do is you can use the last 30-odd years rather than it just being current now because I think one of mine would be Harry Cross from Brookside I think big Harry Times moved on Times are hard Times are hard and friends a few So what kind of Liverpool or Evertonian Legans, would you like to see a Bramley Mordoch?

The irony is he loves a bit of cycling as well There you go Cycling and upcycling all in one go All rolls together We've got a good This has got a Simon O'Brien evidentiate in this Because I played in a tournament With him on Sky And he didn't want to shit And I just took it As you do Swap with the players on your team I knew I was going to give you a little bit more Is there any Anyone else?

What about Sonja? Was she there?

The Queen of Thingy Rose No Clare Sweeney Clare Sweeney picks off She's in Corry Of course she's in Corry Isn't she Tyrone's mum Or something in Corry She's in Corry big blue now There's loads of connections to Corry's in the road Hell I mean Who knows Oh whoever it was Betty's mum They've put me on a bedsheet On a bedsheet It's listen great man My God My God Leonard Ross is another big ever-tonging My God He won't be there though will he Well Why? Cos he's left his kex on the beating gun To the sand with bush To sand and music He's dead isn't he Leonard Ross Nobody can be dead A few of these he'd mentioned David dead Fine fine I just thought you meant career wise I didn't know you meant actually dead Fine No Come on He's had us off there He's had us off Alright fair enough well it's not quite Prince Harry And Selena Gomez and all that But why not You could have you know John Parrott He's a good one You could have known John Parrott since he was a kid He's a good one And big dunk but big dunk be invited It's a bit rude one that isn't he But he'd be dead wouldn't he He'd be dead anyway He'd be dead Possibly Possibly Amanda Holden Oh God Amanda Holden Anybody would think that Ned right at this moment now has just Google celebrities He's actually working his way through I wouldn't mind but Sorry Sand it Take my mind off Amanda Holden I think he was in Evertonian as well And I can't think of a name She's in the Brilliant actress Judy Dench Get in there Big Evertonian Big Evertonian There you go Er and Jenny can turn up together Well she's got a beat there Jenny Well my God My God my back on him again Mission is right There you go What a section that wasn't But would you want to sit in that section No Do you think that that section would be distracting I think so I just think Tony Bell you would have an elephant night With people like I want to see her but It's just clocking all the air style He's dead There's a bit of an issue There's a few dead out of dead Maybe If you could get them at different times And get them in it'd be quite interesting It really will be the spirit of the blues It will be the spirit of the blues Very good and as if to wrap up The segment beautifully Beautifully Right in our group I've sent you What is basically a QR code On a man's arm I thought Ned but then he really put it up right now There you go You need to put me Nana There you go There's a gentleman I'll call him that because I'm being kind to There's a fella who decided To Get his Tesco club card QR code On his arm because He'd often go to Tesco And forget his club card So I'll just read it His name's Dean Machu He got the QR code Permanently linked on his arm Because he'd keep forgetting it He's quoted as The Tesco superfan Very much loved said Lee Another Evertonian if you dare And it's been 8 months since he went public With his QR code tattoo And he says he has no regrets For getting it Well he's a dad of three And he gets to use this bit Well it didn't alarm me but it made me think Really? He gets to use the tat twice a day Why is he going to Tesco Twice a day That's just poor planning It is He's already said he keeps forgetting his club card So does he go and forget For the shopping so he can go back And just fire it Is he forgetting the bags and what's he going to do How's he going to get them tattooed on him Well yeah I hadn't thought of that I just thought it is practical But that is a weird tattoo No he's at this of your club card I don't know him but he's a massive tit Right? The opinions of Peter McPartland Aren't necessarily the opinions of other members On this 1878 FM podcast We've got to think about it like this What he's saved in money He's paid out for in a tattoo When's that tattoo going to start paying for itself It might be if he goes twice a day I suggest now Do you know what though But actually joking aside I went to Tesco yesterday Our little mini one Time to go the big one I managed to get £6 My initial bill was £33 And it came down to 27 With the club card thing That's a big saving That's a great saving But don't you think he probably just added £6 on to the cost of everything Just to make you feel like you've made savings No because there was a special on the multi packs of ham And also the cheese was on it Was on one as well Dave there's only two of you What are you doing with all that ham That's his lunch Yesterday it was fish tacos The day it's ham No fish tacos is more of an evening thing I'm trying to get your out of here Dave You've let me down There's a lot of ham going on I had chicken soup the other day And that was a sign that the seasons are changing Except we're back into pure sun I know I saw your picture of born end This is before the sunshine came out And we had this The nicest weather we've had all summer The other day it was a bit colder It was a little bit chilly I thought you had a medical issue there for the moment Chicken soup for the soul It felt right Summer was over and it was 12 degrees It felt like soup time No one can have a go at you for that Dave Moving on to our next randomness I saw this as well I was having a look at some random news And this really is for the headline The headline Well done Dave, that's classics Ambitious man Tries to smuggle 14 live snakes In his pocket at an airport I love the fact that it's ambitious man Is it not weird though Tries to put 14 snakes Three of the sapents this is for Ned Were ball pythons Also known as royal pythons Which are African species Listed as near threatened On the international union For the conservation of nature's red list The law requires all animals Transported in and out of chair Fairs to be quarantined And inspected But this fella decided to put them in like Stockings and socks in his pockets And them was looking nervously As he approached You heard if he had 14 snakes I mean I'm just pleased that he Did put them in his coat pockets And he didn't try and kind of hide them In his person which would be more worrying Up his chicken soup It's a strange story though Isn't it don't you think? The reason I say that is because that's traditionally how Some smugglers do smuggle things In their person I believe I've seen knockers But why 14? Did he not just want to go for like 2? Where he might have got over He might have been on all that If you order like pizza And a garlic bread And some dips And he put them in the bleeding socks In your pocket A fishy hot dog You'd be devastated And get me price a phone Have you got any listens? That's Ned Phone in the local pet shop Answer me next Weird story Woman who married a ghost Ditches her husband after less than a year And this has fascinated me this story Was she going to the Bramleymore opening as well? Oh she's on the list She's on the register I mean you know maybe She's on the register you're right Maybe she's just ghosted at I don't know A singer who claims to have married the ghost Of a Victorian soldier Says she's getting divorced Brocardae 40 From Oxfordshire Said she met the spirit of Eduardo When he saw me night in 2021 When he based in a bedroom And professed his love for her They supposedly They supposedly then became inseparable With the ghost even sending her cryptic messages In the shower But it didn't take long before cracks Began to appear in the otherworldly relationship This is what she said I swear he's turned into a complete Groomzilla And his lists of demands grow daily Eduardo's always had a temperament Nature But the neutrals seem to be bringing The worst out of them The spirit The singer also claimed the spirit Often took issue with it Discussing their relationship publicly Though it didn't This didn't keep it from appearing on This morning in posting the wedding ceremony On Instagram She said he became possessive Then It's a classic Spirit of the Blues He's apparent fascination With Marilyn Monroe As appeared to prove a fair Obstacle to Marital Bliss She even claimed she spotted The spirit of the late Hollywood actress At the chapel She told Wales online That he would routinely disappear Then it made later Smelling of Chanel number 5 Miss Monroe's favourite perfume Brocade is announced to split With the release of her latest track Because she's a singer What do you mean? What do you think of that? Do you know what I think? I think she's mentally ill Possibly It's not that it's that other people buy into this And also does he think he is? Just because he's dead And Marilyn Monroe is dead That's all they've got in common She could have any dead person she wants Harry Kloss for the one Maybe maybe not Maybe So She has got some scary music to go with your ghost story Hang on No No hang on Ah there you go that's scary isn't it?

The full baronhard Can you imagine? God this podcast he does for the EFL Must be a minute Must be They don't let me put any sound effects on it I am surprised I am surprised He's the one manager of the month Oh my god Andy Bush was back with a question for us all Is this question? Question for you today If you could get some TV work With a specific part of your body What would that be? Maybe Vitty with all of his cycling and paddle boarding Pins Baz's strong arms The beautiful cheekbones of Peds If you could get some work in TV commercials On one part of your body Just based on it's looks What would it be? Right, alright My tone down Or Dave's great pins Andy's basically said it's your pins But if you could choose one body part That you could be on TV Advertising Or be famous for What body part would you go for Dave? I think if I was to be a model I've always thought that I'd probably be a good sock model Sock model For the legs I think I've got quite nice legs For a bloke So yeah I would have to agree with Bush And I think that's my best feature So I'm going to go for Ankle's legs And there's a marker there as well There's a marker for socks So it's difficult with other areas of the body I mean there's always got the Always but you would expect There would always be a marker for socks I believe so I think as long as people have feet That's what they say isn't it? That's it, if you've got feet put socks on It's an important barrier between the skin And the shoe I mean those teds in London Are just you know no socks with them They wear like I don't know whether they do They don't go past the ankle Do they have little toey fingers on them as well? The pants don't go near the ankles When you see them But yeah that sock Is it because of the Hong Kong leg? I mean I'm not aware of the thing called the Hong Kong leg No but you're saying Possibly I mean you are the one Who's more qualified than us We said he's got good leg Oh my god Pan laughter is there It's terrified for this job I can't believe it Dave's producer On the fly Dave's like this is what a proper producer does Ned thinks Dave's Invented firey It would actually be better If I had these little buttons labelled I would actually know what they were It's a sort of trial and error thing I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing Dave's worked Dave's going with the sock model He wants to be famous for his socks What are you going for? I'm going for the thigh area I don't know what I'm going for What would you advertise?

You've got to think what's the most unique part about me So you've got no competition I reckon breasts, calves, thighs Bum Breasts, definitely breasts Moves and not something you would want to be famous for That might be a new market Who else has got man breasts like mine So when they come into fashion I'll be the ones with the best So okay, alright, no fan I'm not having a go But just for clarification What would you be modelling with your man boobs? My chest No you can't just model a chest People aren't buying chests I don't know a scarf A scarf So you will be No top on But with a scarf on to model a scarf With each side of the scarf Covering Covering the mood In a slightly saucy way Have you got a button for saucy Dave?
