Patreon Update - AUDIO odd-cast March 2023
It’s that time again. This time around I have very little to pass on of any note - but somehow it takes me 1hr 25mins to say it.
Consider this the verbal equivalent of background music. Something to help block out the voices in your head. Noise to put on in the background while you’re doing something far more important.
Perhaps put it on when you leave the house in order to make any potential burglars believe that your house is occupied by a really boring man who won’t let anyone else get a word in edgeways.
You could always consider treating it like I’ve come to treat the TV news. I probably don’t need to watch it because if something affected me I’ll already have noticed. ‘Just coming in, a house in Wigan has exploded. Passers by were rained down upon by a combination of VHDs, 8-track carts and Mini Disc players’ Yep well ahead of you there - and I offer my apologies to those affected.
There’s also a video version available in a separate post. This audio version can be subscribed to as a podcast if you can figure out how to do it.
Whatever you choose to do, have a great (insert period of time) and thanks again for being here. Take care.
UPDATE - The film I’m trying to think of at the end has been identified as a TV movie - with Roger Moore as Sherlock Holmes (?!) called ’Sherlock Holmes in New York’

A very enjoyable ramble. Listening via audio while driving, I ended up in full on giggle mode during the noodle test: Just the noise those noodles make. The very definition of SQUELCH! Of the subject of flavour based on your specific demands, might I recommend Maggi Liquid Seasoning splashed on real chippy chips. It's 100% refined pure salty savoury goodness. Think it's in the spice (not the Dune kind) aisle, small black glass bottle with a yellow label. Use instead of vinegar, not as well as.
I know the stuff you mean. Next time I’m in the supermarket I’ll pick some up.
An hour or so of daft content which makes me very happy
I'll play this on my radio station. Your scheduled time slot is 2 AM on Sunday.
Thought I'd give you an early view: https://www.youtube.com/@spectrelayer

Sherlock Holmes in New York, Starring Roger Moore. That was the movie.
Matt is a cool name. I as a new patreon person enjoy these videos, and I even paused you a few times. None of that 1.5x thing, this is what I liken this behind the scenes chat to: I am a massive fan of 'Curb your enthusiasm' all the seasons re-watched and my favourite part of the dvd boxset was a dvd extra- a live chat the main cast did in front of an audience, it was just as funny as the show but had many moments of sincerity in it too, it was genuine and more real, no clever editing- just a bunch of people talking and making jokes. Hope your Blackpool trip went well and keep up the good work! Feel like I got a massive bargain with you allowing the cheapest way to support your work. And pay no mind to the haters- too many keyboard warriors throwing pixels. Beware of the unloved Jim Carey say's. You are a top bloke sir.
Well thanks - the chap I got the boombox from in Blackpool was a Dave too. I’m just happy you’re here irrespective of whatever amount you throw in the cap, the entry fee is really just a way to ensure that people who are here want to be here.
I was going to be Benjamin. My hospital wrist nametag, which my parents kept from December 1975 says "Benjamin Lawrenson". The story is my father changed his mind on the way to the birth registry office (my mother being still on the ward - new mothers were kept in for a week after giving birth then). "Benjamin" was later reused for a family dog 14 years later. Make of that what you will.
That would have been an awkward conversation. It’s a tad more serious than coming back from the shop with the wrong flavour of crisps.
I was gonna be a Robin or a Rosie, and then my mum decided on Lee... figure! 😀 Hope you are doing ok, Matt.
Maybe there’s a lot of us that were going to be a Robin.
