THIS IS VERY EXCITING, somehow we've made Little Alex Horne, the busiest man in comedy, read a very long and maddening book by Ian Rush! And he's not even that angry about it! This is a cracking episode and I really hope you guys enjoy!

Alex Horne Feels the (Ian) Rush! 💨

We've forced @alexhorne.bsky.social to read his Liverpool hero’s 2009 epic ‘Rush: The Autobiography’ 🔴

Featuring ‘surreal banter’ with Mark Lawrenson and a dramatic reading where Ian attacks Kenny Dalglish’s wife with a scone!

I would like to recommend all of the @footballbookclub.bsky.social podcast, where this kind of thing happens *constantly* - Aston Villa Andy Gray used to go to Birmingham bus depot barefoot to laugh at people going to work

Rob Manuel @robmanuelyeah.bsky.social · 4d

What celebrity autobiographies do you recommend, not for being good, but for being unintentionally and hilariously revealing of the author's trivial mind?

Alistair Coleman @alistaircoleman.bsky.social · 4d

I rise from my sickbed to see that this has arrived. Opened to a random page and immediately read a “naturally I had the last laugh” story, so things are boding well.

Do give this a listen if you can! Guillem Balague's an absolute legend of the game (he was at the Ballon d'Or like a day before we recorded this!) AND he's also been on the show TWICE now! I was sure he'd confused us with a more popular football podcast the first time but no! He was here on purpose!

The difficulty with interviewing very successful people is they say stuff like "I have to take a plane after this to accept a lifetime achievement award" and you have to respond with things like "today I ate some melon"

some advice if you're posting homophobic or transphobic shit in response to this: I am never going to rise to the bait, I will just block and report, so you're just wasting your own time

Proud to know and have worked with Hamish, Dead End is a brilliant show about kind, wonderful characters and the vitriol that's coming out now from the usual bigoted suspects can get fucked really

It's probably going to be a very odd day

Screenshot of Elon Musk tweeting "this is not ok" as a reply to Libs of TikTok posting "omg. Dead end paranormal park, a show on netflix, is pushing pro-teangeder on CHILDREN. This show is advertised for 7-year-olds. It's being promoted on netflix kids now. Parents - beware" with an attached photo of Barney from the show.

Elon's tweet has 3.6k comments, 8.7k retweets, 60k likes and 4.2million views
