The reigns are passed on. The shackles of responsibility are lifted. The burden of podcast creating is sub-contracted out for this month's episode as we hand over to the incredible talent at Hang in There Calendars! We will hear from Gordo "The Visionary" Foster, Eddie "The Fixer" Carpenter (photographer) and Joey "The Top" Monsoon (editor). They will be talking us through the varied and fascinating decisions behind some of their most incredible lines. Don't take out word for it, take theirs.Album Recommendation of the Month: Blame My Ex - The Beaches (2023)You want to get in touch, don't you? Your Mum said you do. At least that's what she told me. She told me you want to email or message those Tuna Boot boys. Well you can with the link below. While we're here, your mother thinks you don't phone enough. Having spent time with her, I understand why you would want to keep conversations to a minimum. She's quite a drab, bland and basically hopeless person. You must have ran out of things to say if you've brought up how you'd like to get in touch with a monthly random bollocks podcast. Wish you hadn't wasted that patter already? Don't worry. Just tell her again. Make shit up. She's far too dense to decipher the truth. Trust me.https://linktr.ee/tunaboot Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tuna Boot has taken to the digital airwaves with the first broadcast of their brand new radio show. Recorded on 27th January, 2024 and broadcast on Tuna Boot Digital. Go to www.tunabootdigital.co.uk to listen. Check our social media (https://linktr.ee/tunaboot) for information and show times!Did it go well? Yeah, it did ACTUALLY! The boys stormed it, with guest producer Lou keeping everything ticking along smooth. We had many discussions in the studio with features ranging from Thing You Know You Don't Know to What Would Your Boxing Nickname and Walkout Song Be. It was a blast. We also had emails from listeners entering a competition with their most Awkward Moments. Whoo! It lived up to the hype.Dougal, Jim and Liam weren't the only voices you heard. We had help from Kellet McHandy for the News. Herbirt Kitson Kitson our star Weather Reporter. And Trite Harshifact with Travel. The best was saved until last with Colin Rogers who gave us some incredible fashion advice. Don't think this is the last you'll be hearing from him round these parts. To top it all off, we had some great tunes and ads.Remember, Carmichael and Plemlin are still at large. Authorities have raised their wanted level internationally. Please be forthcoming with any and all information you may have.That's it for now. In next month's episode we are handing over the reigns to the wonderful guys at Hang In There Calendars who will be taking us through the process of some of their most inspiring ranges. Thanks everybody! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's the conclusion to a trilogy no one asked for, Liam invites us in for his new show "That's a Long Time Ago". Featuring a host of facts, dates and nonsense this is a bumper episode extravaganza. Dougal and Jim are pitted against each other daring to guess dates, while Liam slowly falls into drunkenness and cannot fathom how to end his own game. It's truly wonderful and all yours to enjoy in less time than it takes to get 2 hours away from your own home.Links to socials: linktr.ee/tunabootScoosh Scoosh Bellush! Hosted on Acast.

It's almost Christmas and what better gift could you get than the Tuna Boot boys releasing a brand new episode. This time Dougal takes the reins and tests Jim and Liam's knowledge of some well known film quotes, with a Christmassy twist. It's a rip roaring adventure through the most snow sodden of landscapes. Who will win? Does it matter? Why do you still listen to this podcast? Did Dougal really promise to do socials again and then not start doing them? Who the hell cares!Socials: linktr.ee/tunabootBand of the week: FigurinesMerry Christmas and much love from all of us here at Tuna Boot. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The agreesome threesome are back in action this week as season 7 ramps up a gear. Featuring 0% of the sound production of last month but 100% more Jim, this episode is a whale of a ride. Dougal and Liam are thrust into a game show Jim has came up with, trying to distinguish between fact and fiction. Who will emerge on top, with a better grasp of reality that t'other, only time will tell.

Liam has devised a brand new game. It involves making noises...Hearing is believing.*AUDIO SOUND SONIC VOLUME WARNING* Due to the sudden and loud nature of the game the audio volume will vacillate between being of hopefully a reasonable level to being a lot quieter. This is because there are explosions of sound and I didn't want anyone's eardrums to take a hammering. And, it is true, that in previous years I would have painstakingly went through the full edit and tweaked things with such precision that this warning would not be needed. However the thought of doing so now fills me with a dread I dare not name. I have lowered the parts where it goes berserk but it may not be as seamless as it should be. This is Jim, taking full responsibility. Thank you for your patience and enjoy the show!I would also like to take the time to pat myself on the back for not putting one of the others' names in there.

Get your denim and your oversized jumpers on (and whatever those hats are called (on)) because it's time to discuss all things 90's!!! Although mostly music.Jim attempts (and somewhat fails) to make an interesting point about how decades change every 10 years. Or something. This is Jim typing right now and even after listening to it I'm not quite sure what I was on about. I also keep saying "you're hard" which is annoying. I generally feel like I'm being annoying in these episodes so just a warning.The latter half is generally quieter because things turn into a singing guessing game. We have to sing songs when Dougal prompts us with some lyrics. Again, I can only apologise for my efforts. But I'm sure it won't spoil the fun. Danny and Lou are on top form as well as always. And the other two lads do just fine...Bucket hats! I meant bucket hats. I'm hard!*Album Recommendation of the Week: When I Woke - Rusted Root (1994)If you remember the 90's, or even if you don't - if you remember the 90's you weren't really there, am I right?

It was not a reference to any tumescence which may or may not have taken place. Thank you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Holy f****ng s**t we've been f*****g going for 3 years!!! Mad, eh! And we kick off the celebrations with stories of responsibility for children in our workplaces. Then we all literally phone each other. Discussions on being kicked by horses. Then Danny lets us know his favourite Tuna Boot episodes from our immense and horrifying back-catalogue.

A nice feel-good ep. Basically, Jim was far too exhausted and terrified to edit the proper full episode this week. So it's just him talking to himself on his walk home from work. Apologies for sound issues/quietness. This isn't a vintage episode. If this is your first time to Tuna Boot we assure you it's usually different. Better? Difficult to say. But different certainly. There is at least one funny bit sneaked in.Email: mrtunaboot@gmail.comwww.facebook.com/tunabootInstagram: @realtuna_boot Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's a secret episode, the 6th one. Any it's nothing of what was promised. I was busy alright... but Dirk Shingles PI, Zombie Survivor and Letter Charrier is here to save the day... 10 minutes at a time.The album of the week is actually singles:Hozier - Eat Your Young, Francesca & Unknown/Nth.If you want to complain about this episode, you can by following this link right here: https://linktr.ee/tunaboot.Question of the week: How would Dirk Shingles PI, Zombie Survivor and Letter Charrier save you?

Here it is, what you've all been waiting for... the fifth instalment of our secret episodes. This time we're doing something different, and it involves a tiny little bit of dead air here and there. I would heartily suggest sticking through it all as you'll catch some very peculiar and extremely funny noises. If you would rather skip all that, you can jump to straight to 33m15s for the grand finale. This would, however, make the episode exactly 11 minutes long, and would deprive you of that sweet, beautiful context that I'm sure you all crave. The intro will explain it all.

This week continues our look into the mental breakdown of Dougal as he reads things Jim and Liam sent him.I just noticed that Jim reads emails was our 3 year anniversary episode... So with very little left to describe I'll say thanks for listening to us for over 3 years now. Maybe we will catch the 200th episode. It's only 41 episodes away now.As I type this I've just found out the A900 to Leith is closed...may God have mercy on us all. In future I'll probably mute the notifications on the computer. At least it's sunny.

Some people are born with a passionate fire inside of them. These people go on to achieve great things: create magical art, save the world from travesties, build a brighter future for those that will follow in their footsteps.This week Dougal talks about his experience listening to the same ten songs for a week. No one made him do it, but he did it.Nothing was achieved and a lot was lost, and there's a nice story written by Drew to close the episode out.The album of this week is Heatwave in the Cold North by Reverend and the Makers.Our socials are here, if you click on them, you will get a lovely surprise: https://linktr.ee/tunaboot.As I type this the GBP is 0.6% down on the USD...I'm not sure what this means but maybe it's the end of everything.

To be clear, Solo Jim is reading the emails listeners have sent to mrtunaboot@gmail.com there's been no hacking involved.This episode? It's Jim apologising. Describing next week's episode a bit. He has a sore shoulder from falling over. He then fails to make a ghost story interesting...Some other stuff. Then into the emails which are odd. There's a bit of keyboard as well. Then more apologising...I think? Album recommendation of the Week: "Palpitant" - Film Noir (2022)Rate us at 5 Stars, it only takes a minute and helps us out. Use the links below to get in touch.

This week Liam is out of action after watching Grown Ups 2, but Jim and Dougal power through to give an ode to The Worst Idea of All Time podcast as part of our Night at the Pods. Discussing all things Grown Ups (and an aside about Clerks 3 (to which there will be an upcoming response (maybe))), the two remaining boys chat for 46 minutes and 21 seconds. Fun Fact #1: This episode is going up roughly 20 minutes late. I was busy doing something. It was already edited but just not pre-posted.Fun Fact #2: When checking how long they spoke about Grown Ups 2 for I realised that I had exported it without the intro music or the outro music, making this the first episode in a long, long time with a cold opening.Fun Fact #3: I ain't changing shit. If you've got a problem with that you'll have to invent a time machine and come and fight me.Album Recommendation:If I Was - The StavesQuestion of the week: If you could introduce a new cameo character to the already jam packed family comedy "Grown Ups 2", who would it be.

We're taking a leaf out of the Three Bean Salad Podcast Format Book this week at Tuna Boot. The boys are primarily discussing exercise, but also any other tangents that should arise. This is part of our Night at the Proms serial. I don't think I've mentioned this Night at the Pods thing before, and I don't know how often we mentioned it in the episodes (if at all); but we've essentially nicked the format of other podcasts as an ode to our favourite shows. The name "Night at the Pods" is in reference to "Night at the Proms". For any of you who don't know what The Proms are: The BBC Proms or Proms, formally named the Henry Wood Promenade Concerts Presented by the BBC, is an eight-week summer season of daily orchestral classical music concerts and other events held annually, predominantly in the Royal Albert Hall in central London. Prom is short for promenade concert, a term which originally referred to outdoor concerts in London's pleasure gardens, where the audience was free to stroll around while the orchestra was playing. In the context of the BBC Proms, promming refers to the use of the standing areas inside the hall (the Arena and Gallery) for which ticket prices are much lower than for the seating. Proms concert-goers, particularly those who stand, are sometimes referred to as "Prommers" or "Promenaders".The above was lifted straight from Wikipedia.Album Recommendation:Boygenius - the recordSong Recommendation:Boygenius - Leonard CohenQuestion of the week: Which Stallone character and which children's TV show would be the funniest crossover?Let us know here: https://linktr.ee/tunaboot Hosted on Acast.

Jim's been on the lookout for robots for years. Convinced they've already infiltrated the Earth's populace. Now he's questioning the only two people left in the world that still call him friend. His comprehensive personality quiz, aptly named the "Are They a Robot? - Personality Quiz by Jim & Marjory Flamp", is supposed to be able to correctly identify a robot from up to 200 yards away, depending on how loud you/they can shout. Fortunately this time he was only a foot away, so these answers are able to be heard on this very podcast. If you're a robot and you spot Jim following you, shouting multiple choice questions like a crazy man, then call the Robot Amnesty Hotline at 0800-JIMS-PHONE. A representative will ask you a quick questionnaire to confirm you're a robot and provide you with all the help you may or may not need.Album Recommendation: The Angry Corners - Gregory FlampThe Death of Gobshite Rambo - Riding the LowWhy don't you link this up your social-hole: https://linktr.ee/tunabootDougal's shows done.

That's when the real magic starts.Recommendations: Josef - Permanent DamageCourteeners - St. JudeSocials galore:Facebook - Tuna BootInstagram @realtuna_bootEmail: mrtunaboot@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Jim is pitching a stand up show with the list of prompts this week. It turns out to be a horrific idea. Obviously.A thorough dressing down is in order.Recommendation of the Week: Made In Manchester - Spotify Playlist Curated by Noel Gallagher: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DXaTph2XrGtnI?si=77a2ea79339a4626Use these links or f**k off:facebook.com/tunabootInstagram: realtuna_bootEmail: mrtunaboot@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

It's the first of our January pitches. This week Dougal pitches a live cabaret show based around the prompts given last episode. It's as simple as that.DISCLAIMER: To prepare for the pitch, I went to see Avatar: The Way of Water...it did not go well and the opening of the episode is quite exclusively a rant about the film. If you don't want Avatar 2 spoiled I suggest you fast forward to around 9 minutes. Alternatively, if you do want Avatar 2 spoiled, then you can thank James Cameron.I forgot to recommend anything this week, so my recommendation is to not see Avatar 2.If you liked Avatar 2, get in touch on our socials:Facebook - Tuna BootInstagram @realtuna_bootEmail: mrtunaboot@gmail.comThank you and I'm sorry!

IT'S ONLY BLOODY SEASON 6!!!!What a season we have for you. Unfortunately, there is only one voice for you this week, and rather than do anything they lay down a task for the rest of the month. Yes, that's right! To start off our brand new season, we have an unessential episode that you have to listen to in order to enjoy the rest of January. Enjoy!Album recommendation: Reverend and the Makers - Death of a KingMake your New Year resolution to actually follow/talk to us on these things:Facebook - Tuna BootInstagram - @realtuna_bootEmail - Mrtunaboot@gmail.comScoosh Scoosh Bellush all the way through 2023 Hosted on Acast.

This is it. Season 5 is ending with a bang on its 50th episode, where we'll be discussing things we enjoyed this year. We'd like to thank you all for sticking with us through our wildest season yet, and we can't wait to get cracked on with Season 6 which will have/make even more and/or less structure/sense. Something is cooking and even we're not quite sure what it is yet. If you have any ideas for episodes you would like to hear let us know and we'll cram it into our list of un-recorded ideas that we started writing sometime this year that we largely forgot existed. You want an ice-cream themed prison escape episode? We'll do it. You want us to shout an entire transcript of 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown? Already one step ahead of ya! What about an episode where we try to lick paint off a wall faster than it dries? Got you covered. To quote the old adage "anyway you want it, that's the way you need it, anyway you want it". *Chuckles* I grow weary, My time on this Earth is drawing to a close. In 4 days my sibling will take over as the new Ghost of Podcast Present, number 2023; and I- I will cease to be. It's been fun my dear friends, but I wish you a bright, fun podcasting future.

It's Christmas time again and Santa's Booty Boys are back to wish you all well. They bring gifts for each other and for the first time in a long time - music discussion. Tune in to hear them discuss Jane Fonda, Liberace, Amarillo and Pearl Harbour in this extended two day recording set at Christmas (It was recorded across two days but isn't two days long, if you get what I mean? A recording that was two days long would be ridiculous in concept. Furthermore, in practice that would most likely be one of the most gruelling experiences any one person could suffer. We're not even getting paid for this, and I sure as hell wouldn't be editing that colossal waste of time. Who would even listen to it? If I walked up to you in the street and asked you to listen to it for a hundred quid, right then and there, would you do it? No, you wouldn't, would you? And not because the average attention span has shrunk to barely hit ten seconds, but because I wouldn't have the time to sit there and wait on you finishing it. I'm a busy person and I have much more important things to do than watch you listen to a two day long podcast, in the street, for a hundred quid. Who do you think I am? Father Time? No, I am in fact the person who writes this drivel, devoid of shame.

Dougal loosely plagiarised the format of Big Fat Quiz of the year for the boys this week. I am being very liberal with my use of the word "loosely". Unfortunately, Dougal was also very confused by the passage of time and the notion of years. We've now ended up with a quiz that has questions based on the year of 1992 instead of 2022. Liam and Jim also took it upon themselves to take this quiz very seriously, so get ready for an intense battle of wits.I'm also in my brackets phase now (I don't know if you've noticed). I've been inserting brackets into the titles of each of the last three episodes. Next week keep an eye out, because the brackets for that episode may reveal some important information (for one person in particular)...Album of the week - Wet Leg - Wet LegEver wondered what we're talking about when we say "socials"?

Dougal and Jim work together in order to create, amaze and astound. Liam gives them a brief and they have 6 mins to create and then pitch the outcome. Points are flying in this episode, and though they are essentially as worthless as the McDonald's Monopoly tickets with the codes on them, that doesn't stop the boys getting as excited as Jim is when a new Coca-Cola flavour drops. Trust me, you don't want to be around Jim when a new Coca-Cola flavour drops. I once saw him put a dead gecko in a chokehold for no other reason than a new Coca-Cola flavour had just been dropped. It was carnage. Actually it I think it could have been strawberry meringue. The dead gecko's family were contacted, and a statement issued on behalf of Tuna Boot. It was in the papers and everything.

The boys take a look back at clips, that Dougal has unearthed, spanning the entirety of the Tuna Boot saga. A lot of these clips you'll remember as avid listeners, but we hope you enjoy your trip with us down memory lane and can appreciate the journey we've taken. Get in touch and let us know which clip you think was Tuna Boot's peak. We won't be upset if you say season 1, but we'll name and shame you as we all know the podcast didn't properly get good until at least season 8.... wait... just realised you're not quite there yet in your timeline... These are just clips from season 1-5, sorry for the confusion.Album of the week - Lazybody - Annie Booth (Dougal calls it Lazyboy in the episode, but this was incorrect and Dougal should be locked up for his foolishness).Socials!

This week on Tuna Boot, Jim achieves a life long dream and gets to script the majority of an episode of Tuna Boot. Once we realise there wasn't enough to fill a full episode quota, Liam gives us a quiz. There's shenanigans aplenty and laughs to boot.Album of the week - Cheaply Bought, Expensively sold - Declan Welsh and the Decadent WestWe have socials, not that you care, but I'm legally obliged to put them here:Facebook - Tuna BootInstagram - @realtuna_bootEmail - mrtunaboot@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

We're asking Danny random questions today. It turns out to be quite an odd interview technique but one which illuminates as much as it informs. He's a delight as always. What's his favourite whale fact? What number does he choose (out of all the numbers)? Does he know what a barnacle is? Does he think about metronomes once a month and if not why not?Editor's Note: Jim had a moment when he went off on one about quitting the podcast because he was annoyed that Danny was good on the show. This has been edited out for the sake of Jim's PR because it was more desperate and odd than it was funny. Traces of that still remain within the latter half of the episode so if he's pretending to be in a huff that's the reason. He's not actually sad and he's secure in the knowledge that he is, indeed, the best one out of Tuna Boot. Host, guest or otherwise.*Album Recommendation of the Week: Don't Drink the Poison - Kobi Onyame (2021)Email our Facebook through Instagram. Tag us in your inbox. Selfie us on your wall.

We all contribute to the overall greatness of the podcast and Danny is a fantastic guest. And I would choose the number 12. Don't know why; I just like it. Hosted on Acast.

Danny Jones is joining us for a fantastic quiz of his own creation. Danny reads out a list of statements, one part of which will be wrong. We get a point for identifying which part of the statement is false. If we know what the truth is, we get a second point. And bonus points are awarded for prefacing our answers with original and scathing put-downs directed at Danny. It's a great format...even if it was created by a toxically dull, brain-smashingly putrid, lanky, gunge-filled waste of DNA. "Tofu'd on shit!" is my personal favourite insult.Some phenomenal questions and we learn a lot. It is so much fun and, at one point, the Tuna Boot boys are tested on the one thing they should know...What they have said in episodes of Tuna Boot.Album Recommendation of the Week: I, I - Bon Iver (2019)Next time you sit on the toilet for longer than a minute, give these social media links a peruse and get in touch.facebook.com/tunabootInstagram: @realtuna_bootEmail: mrtunaboot@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
