Podcast 65 - Live from a field near Goodwood

This week Jonny and Richard are actually in the same room, except the room is a field. And they're drinking wine. 

The idea of this extra-long episode was to discuss all the news from the Goodwood Festival of Speed so naturally the conversation covers Brut aftershave, buying wine at 9am, Sweden's top TV chef, sporting event streakers, aerobatic display team The Reawarrs, Gordon Murray's hydration strategy, Michael Bolton on a bicycle, talking like a pilot day, the perils of magnet fishing, a French Garfield phone mystery, pretending to be a dangerously unqualified handyman, Bridget Jones's welding, watching the International Space Station go overhead, what all Prince songs are about, Jim Glickenhaus's surprising trousers, and the Duke of Richmond weeing in a sink. 

Despite this there's also some car talk covering an overheating Jag, the Ferrari Roma's base model grille, a shirtcocking Jeep, the beauty of an early Countach, plus the Maserati MC20, the McLaren Artura, the Lotus Emira, the Kimera EVO37, the Aston Valkyrie, the Corvette C8, the Glickenhaus SCG004 and some Hispano-Suizas.

What a great podcast - and I hadn’t guessed from the first minute the recording was supported by vino 😉

I was thinking a stadium truck.

You asked which car would be best in a Brut livery, there is only one answer! A Stuart Graham Chevrolet Camaro: http://www.frozenspeed.com/gallery_event/gw72mm/?id=16744

Americans can't pronounce the soap powder brand Persil, they put the emphasis on the second syllable: perSIL. I spent last summer in the USA, shouting at the television as a result. OTSOT

A friend used one of those stud finders before drilling into their wall - except the water pipes were PVC and they drilled straight into one

Ben Payne

Screw-top wine a deliberate tactical choice. Imagine the agony of finding the showman's trailer didn't have a corkscrew...

Smith and Sniff

I was intensely hoping to hear a proper Rowley Birkin "I was very, very drunk" before the recording ended. But sadly, no.

Guy Sande

No corks were engaged for their fundamental purpose, as it should be. We should hope for many more in this style in the future. It's a winning formula I'd say.

Guy Sande

"You foreskin full of pound coins" is my new insult.

Tim Organo

Excellent podcast guys. Thanks for extra long episode this week. Can’t go wrong with brut, been using brut since I was 8 and I’m 23 now

I’m afraid it’s brutally obvious that nothing was corked during the recording. Nothing at all.

Matt Tester

I love a well lubricated podcast. Great that you could finally be in the same place again, talking absolute toss as usual.

Matt Tester

It’s either that or they ended up drinking Brut. Either way, the effect is much the same…

Richard Fitton-Perkins

Are crashed Teslas haunted? Don't know where that came from but makes you wonder. Not sure what I'm talking about anymore, maybe I should have a podcast. Shit, I'm typing this outdoors and its starting to rain.

Peter Heamon

Brut in Japanese is the 'HAI!' of smells.

Peter Heamon

Robinson R44 is the spaz of helicoptering.

Peter Heamon

"Natural showman" is an euphemism for something...

Peter Heamon

Bogie steer? Is that like picking around to clear the nose of detritus?

Peter Heamon

We've got bats.

I saw a Renault Spouwaaarghtaaaaaah Spider today. It was a bit like a blue pancake with a roll bar. It was been driven by a grey haired old guy with a beard, he drove in to a Tesco petrol station.

Peter Heamon

I measured out the central point of a wall in my house to put a mirror up. It was SO precisely central that I drilled through the central heating pipes. I had to put my finger up like the little boy in a dyke until the plumber arrived.

Peter Heamon

I feel I may have had too much red wine. Although, that's not really possible. I think you chaps might have too...

Peter Heamon

Where's Gouty Goodwood?

Peter Heamon

I went from flying to train driving. Alway made my driver announcements as if I was a British Airways captain. "Ladies and Gentleman, we're now approaching London Paddington, expecting to arrive in around five minutes just as soon as we've been allocated a parking spot. Thank you for choosing Great Western Railways, we hope you'll travel with us again". As if they had any choice...

Peter Heamon

Red Arrows are a bit f***ing precious chaps, they walk around like clicky gang people, all crabby and that like off of West Side Story.

Peter Heamon

It's not Chichester, it's "Chii" (Chai) shit, I don't know how to spell it.

Peter Heamon

Maser. 3-spoke alloys. NO!

Peter Heamon

Shit, you're having screw-on wine cap booze. Completely understand, useful stuff. I remember buying a cork bottle at Goodwood one year and had to go back out and buy a f***ing corkscrew. Got a lot of them. Corkscrews that is. And empty wine bottles.

Peter Heamon

The modern day alternative to the streaker’s bum-hole wallet quandary is Apple Pay via an Apple Watch. It would appear Apple Inc think of literally everything.

Richard Fitton-Perkins

I've started buying Brut splash-on as a result of your 'casts. Gits. Mind you, I wish you could smell me. And that I had a green Camaro. Use it as hair tonic, fab(erge)-u-lous. Mrs H complemented me on my odour the other day, until I farted. Hmm, too much spicy food.

Peter Heamon

My first ever Goodwood this year, already feeling the good vibes from the first 2 minutes!!

Stuart Brinicombe

I haven't listened to it yet but I already know it's a corker!
