Podshambles

Podshambles is the comedy stylings of Paddy Gervers (Jonny & The Baptists) and Laurie Havelock (once met Brian Blessed). They are two best friends who know far too much about each other. Each episode, marvel as they stagger and ramble through video games, comic books and any other fragments of geek culture that wander through their synchronised brains. No conversational cul-de-sac is left unplundered, whether it's Game of Thrones (or Goats), their many run-ins with geese, or just a load of egg puns. There's even a regular check in with Choose Your Own Adventure with Flagon the Dwarf, a not at all Dungeons and Dragons-esque romp through somewhere quite like a pound-shop Middle Earth. Expect an hour-long podcast that will make you laugh. I promise. Swearsies. BFFs 4LYF.

"How do you like your Pod in the morning? I like mine with a Cast. Shambled or fried? I'm satisfied as long as I get my Cast."THIS TIME: Crow Boy is back. When did he leave? Who is he? Never you mind, he's back and that's all that matters. Laurie disapproves of Dave Grohl's Catholicism, Paddy faces a morale quandary with a naughty sexwizard, and the pair of Shamblepiglets are pitted against each other in brand new section 'Character Assassination'.Is Laurie lying about janitors? Is Paddy really just Crow Boy? Will you review us on iTunes? Find out - deep inside Podshambles.#PaddyPodAss // #LozzPod...

Punch in the shamble-codes, lock on to Podsville, and fire all missiles - it's Podshambles and it's WAR. This week, Paddy and Laurie are acting like goats - so climbing up into rare Moroccan trees to spit seeds at passers by. Paddy is back from holidays to Europe - remember that place? - and has some boozy boner stories, while Laurie just simply won't believe any of it. We've also time to check in with everyone's favourite fictional mountain elf, Melvin, as he dances with weasel-wolves, enjoys some murder porn and maybe levels up.Does Paddy understand what an orange is? Is there any hope for Laurie's schooning school? Will Melvin ever level up? Find out this week on....Podshambles. Yea...

The ONLY place on the internet where you can hear 100% official MC Funky Bantam coverage, all day, all the time, ALL PODSHAMBLES.On this week's perfectly spherical pod, Laurie's got some stupid stories about dating, pants and sex pests, some of which may have been made up, Paddy's off to Spain to bother the locals and steal iberico ham by the truckload, and Melvin the Melf continues his yak-based adventures. Should you watch porn on the tube? What kind of sandpaper is the best to wipe your butt with? Will Blind Belinda escape the evil designs of some large weasels?

What's a couple of Pods between Casts, eh? We're all Shamblebuddies here.THIS TIME: Paddy & Laurie (the human equivalents of Restless Leg Syndrome) embark on a Choose Your Own Adventure concocted by our very own Wing Commander Havelock, which puts Paddy in the seat of...well...being Laurie for a day. TURNS OUT IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT and Paddy is a large part of that difficulty. There may also be a few returning characters from own dark and shadowed past that you may (or more likely may not) be happy to see back in our proverbial ear-saddle.Here lies the end of our 50 episode extravaganza.

After all - it came uPOD a midnight clear (that one was tough but hey it’s Christmas so…fine).Once again, as is tradition, it is CHRISTMAS. Thus we bring you a very special festive Podshambles LIVE from a pub. Recorded in Oxford in between Laurie’s rampant shopping and Paddy’s maniacal gigging, we present to you a conversation between two best friends in a pub at Christmas. Paddy confuses fishermen with carpenters for ages, Laurie explains the difference between 'cooking' and 'burning', and we introduce our brand new holiday which may or may not be entirely based on the mythology of Joan Cusack (praise be unto her).Wrap your Christingles, drug Gran’s sherry, and relentlessly feed each other pudding - it’s Podshambles 48.WE HOPE YULE-IKE IT.

And determine which 2003 snooker player we are.

And Paddy is very, very hungover.Even as I write this I am not yet fully recovered. I mean seriously. This is the longest and worst hangover I have ever had.Anyway.LISTEN as Laurie talks beards, GASP as Paddy struggles to explain toasters, and COMBUST as the Shamblerangers recreate the Halloween Specials of Friends and Thomas the Tank Engine.

We are now fully grown Shamblers - and boy oh boy have we come a long way.Join us (like normal) as we round off what we have decided to call SEASON ONE in style. Things are getting pretty bloody festive at the Shamblegrotto as Christmas falls on us, so expect potentially unwanted messages from possibly forgotten/underwritten characters, Laurie getting talons, Paddy discovering D. Coy Duck, Engine-Room Phil singing a little Christmas song, George R.R Martin coming clean, Santa getting lairy and aggressive, other things happening which may or may not be in the podcast (EHEM THE SHARK-DARTS BIT EHEM) and of course some genuine thank yous and smiles for everyone who has supported us this year. LOL WE'VE BIN NAKED DA HOLE TIME LULZ WE R SOO ROFLIN ATM.But seriously - Thank you all.

The return of the fabled 'Podshambles' is upon us and boy oh boy is it tasty. We begin with the heavily debated subject of PS4/Xbox One/Beef before stumbling blindly into the highly anticipated Aikido section. BUT THAT IS NOT ALL. Keep your eyes peeled and your shins broken for hot-off-the-press information regarding which video game character Laurie most resembles, whether Paddy can indeed challenge the impossible and of course whether two men can indeed replicate 26 musicians in just under 14 minutes.

Will Paddy's driving lesson be enough to save the future of humanity/transport? What happened to Laurie at Nandos in an unrelated event? Will they remember it's also Halloween?

Yes, our numbers swell by one this week as we welcome honorary shambleer Jay Foreman – eminent musical comedian, bon viveur, raconteur, boulangeur and all-round swell guy to withstand an hour of our nonsense. We enjoy some songs, chat and WAIT HOLD UP, WHO BROUGHT CARROTS? Suddenly, the episode has taken a turn for the better. Laurie discusses his ideas for a perfect ice cream house, Paddy gets greedy with the utensils, and Jay remembers an ill-fated school project. Get your tickets from the strange man at the back of the Shamblecarriage, it's going to be a pretty bewildering yet oddly comforting ri...

Gee-whiz, those Shamblebears sure do love their honey! Watch as they Podfrolic through the beehives, snuffling up the last bits of Castnectar from the bee-nests. Paddy brings out the TOME OF DESTINY and the happy-go-lucky Shamblescamps dive head first into a pool of Choose Your Own Adventure. Yes, you heard right - it is BACK. Laurie finds himself reliving the old days with Flagon, Paddy tries to do too many voices whilst sticking strictly to his limited vocal range, and the fun-lovin' pair battle their way to the wholly satisfying conclusion of The Cave of Captain Jack Bastard. Please keep all hands and belongings inside the carriage because this ride just got dangerous. Neo Bahamut dangerous.This Podsatchel is ninety minutes long as you have all been very patient and kind.Apostrophes, iTunes. Apostroph...

Buckle up your Shambelts and hoist up your Podsails because this trouser-boat is bound for unCasted Territory. Paddy reveals his beef with weevils, Laurie lashes out at society for a general lack in Bernard Matthews based knowledge, and the two Heroes of Time (Laurie and Paddy from Podshambles) discuss their grand plans for Grunty Pig and Battlegoose. The possibility of Shambles Merchandise looms on the horizon and everyone gets a little bit over excited - so excited in fact that the pair only realise they have left out a rather insignificant sound effect from the final episode edit after they have initiated the episode upload. They argue over the best way to insert the effect for just over an hour, forgetting the original purpose of the discussion and only realising the effect is still missing whilst they are writing the iTunes description for the episode. They are now too tired to do anything about it and have sort of made peace with the absence.Quick update: The apostrophes are still missing from the iTunes descriptions - a fact that made me genuinely miss a train because I was imagining how I would explain myself to a court of law if I was charged with DESTROYING ITUN...

The Shamblesharks are circling once again, drawn to the scent of Pod-blood in the Cast-ocean (I meant for that to sound less disgusting, but it's clearly too late to change it). Anyway, this week our intrepid young Shamblodytes find themselves back in each other's company after a hearty adventure-filled Scotland-induced absence (Paddy went to Edinburgh and then came back). Laurie has what can only be described as an existential crisis over whether Borrowers need passports, Paddy gets censored as he lashes out at misogynists, and the pair finally reveal how Bumgoblins affect their daily routines. They haven't seen each other in a while, they are slightly half-cut, one of them isn't wearing a hat - are you darn-tooting ready?In other news, apostrophes still aren't appearing in the descriptions of our episodes and it's beginning to destroy me.* *EDIT: THIS IS NOW FIXED. APOSTROPHES ARE BACK GUYS. IGNORE ALL FURTHER COMPLAINTS I MAKE ABOUT TH...

This week, back at the Shambel Tower in gay Paris, Paddy's only gone and bloody gone to bloody Edinburgh bloody Norah. So it's down to tech-wizard Laurence to man the mumblestations and record this week's custard slice.But he forgot. So instead - the Pilotshambles! Hear how our intrepid heroes began speaking about Pokemans, originated the cult practice of salmon batting, and met Elsinore, the finest prostitute there ever was.It's a rip-roarer of an OK ti...

We are back behind the Shambleabra with a whole new barrel of podcast-fish. Paddy explains why we are all just one big massive family of ducks, Laurie gets fruity whilst interviewing Engine-Room Phil and Barbossa, and the critically overexcited pair help Lia find a job in the competitive world of ornithology.Expect seizures. And go-kar...

It's time for a bonanza sale at the Shamble Charcuterie as we get under the covers for part two of podlet 10. What awaits us in the sexy shambles boudoir? James and Kate pop over for long-overdue ménage-a-quatre (that's a foursome, to you and I), the postal salmon is relentlessly unsexy and Paddy and Laurie discover the kinship that can only arrive after building a sexy canoe.(Sorry for the French. It's a phase we're going through.)This episode is dedicated to Ray Harryhausen, who inspired a generation to use their imaginati...

Shambledee and Shambledum return with something that can only be described as "alarmingly sexy" for your audio pleasure-tubes. This wedge of Shamblecheese marks the tenth anniversary of the podcast, so we have assembled some rather special sultry guests for the occasion! Paddy and Zac reveal that Laurie was probably born on Bear Island, Laurie and Chris explain the newfangled concept of "Football" to Paddy, and of course your two overexcitable hosts discuss why ducks are sexy and Cardiff is not. Bring staples, remain stationary, it is going to be charismatically muddling.NOTE: iTunes keeps deleting all of the apostrophes in our descriptions. I just thought I would let you all know as it is really annoying ...

Oh, what does the Shambling Den hold in store this week? Well, Paddy initiates the inaugural Geography Hour (not set to to return, at time of writing), Laurie and Flagon find a portal to Ascot, and that dang Postal Salmon has returned with stories of our readers' celebrity lookalikes.On top of that, we finally discover who and what Demi Levato actually is.It's a rip-roaring, leg-rustling, ear-tickling, zebra-teasing, fully-booked barnstormer of an episode. If that's OK with y...

The sun rises on the broken bodies of the Shamblers-of-Fortune and they realise they have survived. The war is over and everything is back to normal (note: the war will not be mentioned). Paddy reveals the explosive conclusion of "101 Things to do with an Egg and a Piece of Paper", Laurie steadies himself for his first ever underground train-dungeon and the Postal Salmon becomes (for some reason) a recurring character. It's the longest chapter yet - it's like the Water Temple of podcasts. Do you have your iron boots? Go...

Well, it's finally happened on the Shambleveranda. Paddy opens up a can of eggs as he unleashes 101 things you might do with an egg and a piece of paper. If you ever felt like it. No pressure. But it's GREAT FUN.Also in this week's episode: signalling sexy occurrences, meeting crazy Dave and catching up with Dunstan, who, predictably, checks in. Go on, you might tolerate ...

It is quiz o'clock in Podshambala, so we get very wordy, Laurie voices his anarchist tendencies and Paddy finally finds out which medieval weapon he is. A small fire broke out midway through the recording but we cover it with a jingle and don't mention it so it is then definitely fine. Also: boa...
