Show notes 119
Added 2022-07-31 17:01:59 +0000 UTCHello again. We lead this week with a still of Rich Energy boss and all-round ridiculous man William Storey attempting to doughnut his Jag. Link to the full clip below. Then we’ve got one of the original MG3 ‘FUN’ ads, a near-copy of the old money spec Range Rover Sport seen by Richard and a lovely line-up of COE trucks. Now, some links…
Jonny hasn’t made an aftershave ad but if he did it would probably look more like this - https://youtu.be/1jB3RwELq8w
That Rich Energy ‘doughnutting’. Sound on for the honk - https://bit.ly/3voVmB4
A very expensive old Volvo S90 Executive - https://bit.ly/3zG9RTS
That jam festival item from The Day Today - https://youtu.be/G07sWzYObnk
Speaking, as Jonny was, of chickens holding their heads still, there’s this American Mercedes advert - https://youtu.be/nLwML2PagbY
And Jaguar’s response to that ad - https://youtu.be/FAGOcyvBap0
Apple Watch Mickey Mice synchronised - https://youtu.be/jA1hbLbqa90

2022-08-11 15:00:57 +0000 UTCThree things: 1. You missed the opportunity to coin the term 'dognostic', so I'm claiming it, as I am very much dognostic too. 2. As a kid I borrowed my dad's brand new wetsuit and set off to my mate's caravan with it in a carrier bag on the handlebars of my BMX. As I went over a speedbump it dropped down and got caught between the front wheel and spokes, shredding it in about five places. He was...not pleased. He ended up gluing bits of neoprene on the inside of all the rips. It was never the same. 3. Belated entry for allotment cars. Fiat Sedici Eleganza. Oddly named, rebadged Suzuki. Dinky 4wd. We had one for a year and I really liked it but had to get rid as wife didn't like driving position. But nearly went to my dad for tip run duties.

2022-08-04 18:17:43 +0000 UTCI don't think there is a minimum or maximum overhang on coaches; but the overall length is a maximum of 15.1m on a three axle vehicle. The Plaxton Elite I-deck which is the type of coach often used on Megabus work has a very short wheelbase which results in a large front and rear overhang and that the driver is sat a long way forward of the wheels. This is done to create a wheelchair space on the entry platform.

2022-08-04 09:51:40 +0000 UTCThe Day Today and Brass Eye are without doubt, some of the greatest bits of satire ever produced. Even 30 years after TDT first aired, it doesn't feel dated. The quotable lines from the exchanges between Chris and Peter O'Hanraohanrahan are brilliant. "Peter, you've lost the news!!!" I also love the behind the scenes documentary at the swimming pool with the security guard listing the years where nobody died because of his negligence.

John Hammond
2022-08-04 09:36:10 +0000 UTCBernard Manning telling the story of "the kiddy who puked up his own pelvis, its a fookin' disgrace" gets me every time. That and Gary Lineker reading out the text slang so say used by paedos. P2P Pipe to Pipe bushman.

2022-08-04 09:35:44 +0000 UTCOh yes! Trombone DSG fart.
Daniel Achterhuis
2022-08-03 21:46:52 +0000 UTCAsking for a non Patreon friend, can you hear a fart at 13' 40"?
Simon Smyth
2022-08-03 10:30:09 +0000 UTCHe does, yes. An L322 with the 3.6-litre TDV8. Richard
Smith and Sniff
2022-08-02 19:32:27 +0000 UTCIt was Jonny. He does it quite a lot. Sometimes I dip his mic when I listen back to hide them, sometimes I don't. This one, ahem, slipped through the net. Richard
Smith and Sniff
2022-08-02 19:31:54 +0000 UTCWhat really made me chuckle this pod' was the repetition of "Spowt" without fail. I too have developed a tic of muttering spowt! everything I put a car's drive mode in S. Can't help it.
Brendan McAleer
2022-08-02 15:20:56 +0000 UTCÀ propos of niche Volvo badging, my mate’s Uncle is a sort of sweary, oily Keith Floyd with a penchant for the particular. I was in his shed a few weeks ago to be met with his latest acquisition - a one-of-three burgundy 780 Bertone Coupe, in the illustrious Diner’s Club Version (complete with cursive font). I can’t conceive of a more 80s trim level but I do know I’m shopping for red braces.
Ryan Boocock
2022-08-02 13:46:46 +0000 UTCPurely out of interest I had a look for Rich Energy on Amazon after the episode. As well as being more expensive than Red Bull (£30 vs £22.50), a few users have commented that cans they received were past their expiry date. The whole thing is very weird. The video of the accidental horn honk is still funny though.
Gordon Segar
2022-08-02 11:21:48 +0000 UTCCake, as explained by Noel Edmonds, interferes with Shatner's Bassoon and makes 'a second feel like a month’. ‘One unlucky user died after being run over by a bus, he thought he had 3 months to cross the road.’
Gordon Segar
2022-08-02 11:10:58 +0000 UTCThe interview with the OMG racing made it even more confusing how the business operates.
Scott Boulter
2022-08-02 09:24:55 +0000 UTCI love ‘Make your own fun’ from the MG3 ad. Suggests that, when it comes to fun, you need to do most of the work yourself - the car won’t help you. Or is that just my reading it cynically?
Ed Storer
2022-08-02 07:55:50 +0000 UTCI heard it too! Glad it wasn't just me 🤣
NickSFC
2022-08-02 00:02:54 +0000 UTCOK who guffed at 13:39 just after Richard mentioned Haas?!
Martin Mees
2022-08-01 23:45:27 +0000 UTCDoesnt clarkson have a range rover in old money green?
Anik Adamali
2022-08-01 18:04:55 +0000 UTCJohnny, don't panic about your Wetsuit. Bodyline Wetsuit Repairs in Newquay, Cornwall are excellent they deal with many OEM warranty claim's in the UK, I've used them several times, new chest piece, new crotch etc. You can post your suit to them for appraisal.

2022-08-01 17:51:03 +0000 UTCThe Mercedes SLR transporter is in their museum in stuttgart. Went their a month or so ago and I could’ve spent hours looking at it, almost more stunning than the SLR it’s carrying.
Stephen Venn
2022-08-01 16:17:15 +0000 UTCI wonder if his way of writing eligible is also illegible. Maybe he's ineligible to be legible..?
Matt Tester
2022-08-01 16:07:27 +0000 UTCAs an American, I was just about to post the Mercedes ad with the chickens in the show notes, based on Jonny’s discussion of truck suspensions and chickens.
Mateo Galguera
2022-08-01 14:40:04 +0000 UTCWhy does the S90 Volvo advert have the seat belt outside the car...?!
Owain Kelly
2022-08-01 14:31:58 +0000 UTCFirst he came for the pigeons, and I said nothing…then he came for the doggos and I said “For the love of god man! Enough!”. I know the man loves his Tortoises but I’m now concerned TLB show is about how late Johnny can brake when an animal is on the road in front of him. He then awards himself various points based on vehicle, road conditions and splatter pattern.
David Carss
2022-08-01 10:26:20 +0000 UTCWith regards to the cab over engine challenge, I think aircraft towing vehicles must in there with a shout. I also think they must be perfect for daydreaming drivers, or navigators that exclaim "I think we should have turned there".
Tom Lanigan
2022-08-01 09:33:09 +0000 UTCDoes Jonny always mispronounce eligible as illegible? He did it in a Late Brake Show vid but I don't think there was anyone there with him to remark on it. In this podcast though, he did it again and Richard doesn't comment on it, is it a west country thing? or just a Jonny thing, that no-one must mention?
Paul Sharp
2022-08-01 09:32:00 +0000 UTCThe list of names given to the offenders in that Pedo episode is gold. Bent ref, small bean regarder, shrub rocketeer, the list went on haha
Al Scott
2022-08-01 04:11:56 +0000 UTCCAKE was brilliant but I have to defer to ‘Dr’ Fox saying paedo’s are genetically closer to crabs than people “there’s no real evidence for it but it IS scientific fact”
Kristian Dean
2022-07-31 19:53:00 +0000 UTCTo this day “CAKE” was still my favourite bit from Brass Eye
