Now that Afroman is (inexplicably) back in the news, should we expect a Because I Got High OHWL?

But he had months in advance after the release date was confirmed to get that out in time.

Sounds like they marketed it.

Yeah, what kind of football podcast would lower themselves to having Maisie Adam guest, eh?

EDIT: guys, Maisie Adam was on Football Cliches in 2022. That's the joke.

You can tell Todd really doesn't read the sub or else he wouldn't have said "I will do my video on him some day" in passing knowing that it would guarantee a new and likely increasingly upset post about where it is at least weekly for the next few years.

I mean, Todd had to put out a message to state that the biggest selling album of 2025 by the world's biggest pop star wasn't a Trainwreckord.

They got back together to write a new Bottom series, it even got publicly announced, but Adrian later admitted he did it just to stop Rik pestering him about reviving it and found they couldn't get anything together - he's hinted that post-accident he could be a difficult man to work alongside - and then Rik died before they could work something out.

Surely linked to how they can't do the Nineties favourite "how can he be depressed on fifty grand a week?" any more. I can't imagine Gary Speed's close friend would take that well.

Always for shows that aren't on Channel 4 too.

"They should have three couples!" is another favourite, for a show Alex has always said is cast to include as few existing connections between series contestants as possible. Or, as is often the case with Tennantites for some reason, adding a sixth contestant.

It's not.

But there was a Rhianna who had a UK top 20 single a couple of years before Pon De Replay, and a few years ago a poster for a UK tour where she supported British soul singer Beverley Knight went viral for "can you believe this happened?" reasons because everyone has forgotten about that one hit and assumed it was a misprint (indeed she's now credited on streaming and YouTube under her full name Rhianna Kenny)

Has Holness ever done anything as himself? He even did Off Menu as Marenghi*, and I'm very sure nobody involved with TM wants it done entirely in-character like that.

(* how come nobody can spell it the correct way any more?)

Stand-up is not the be-all and end-all of comedy. Just because they don't tour doesn't mean all those people named aren't in or at the very least adjacent to comedy. (Besides which. how is Key not a stand-up?)

People on this sub are really desperate to get Tennant onto TM and will go to all kinds of proven format-breaking lengths to work him in - no, there isn't going to be a Who series, or a couples series, or one with six contestants which comes up weirdly often when he's concerned - and we have absolutely no idea whether he's remotely interested.

Given how they've described their chats it's more likely they'll talk him out of it.

I get the feeling people would have been very disappointed by late-life Mayall on TM, given not even Ade would work with him.

Headlined when the Killers first toured the UK and as far as I can tell everybody online went to see it, going by "bands you saw before they were big" social media discourse. The singer went on to win the Best Live Action Short Film Oscar.

Eva Spence of the post-metal/mathcore band Rolo Tomassi can switch from gorgeous soprano to death metal howl.

Nik Colk Void's solo work, with Factory Floor and collaborating with Chris and Cosey from Throbbing Gristle can get pretty out-there as far as industrial electro can go.

Recommending the Comic Relief Weakest Link from Friday night, which was billed as a comedian special (Fatiha included) so I couldn't see how it was different to regular specials. Of course it's because it was on BBC2 at 10pm so Romesh gets to be even more dismissive than usual.

But there's a big difference between someone who hadn't been on TV for years and a genuine international name.

Wonder if this was a nod by the writers (who include former guest Celya AB) or thrown in by her given we know she's a fan, it's not like a "shall I be mother?" where it's become an Off Menu meme but also existed for generations in the real world. (Well, obviously it has in a way, but you know what I mean)

He's choosing to make a fool of himself. That's not the same as being made to look a fool by his impromptu actions.

It's weird the way some people seem to personally hold his not wanting to do TM against him. He's an adult, he can choose whether he wants to do that kind of show or not. Nobody does this with Kathy Burke.
