Podcast appearances and mentions of Lee Mack

Send us a textIn this episode, we're going all in on a topic so many of us struggle with…. control. After divorce, it's SO tempting to try and manage everything….. the ex, the narrative, the emotions, even the future. But the truth is control is actually an illusion.So we're unpacking…. ✔️ What controlling behaviour looks like after divorce (Hint: You might not even realise you're doing it!) ✔️ Why we try to control…. is it love, ego, or just fear of the unknown? ✔️ How control actually hurts you…. mentally, emotionally, and physically. ✔️ How to let go and reclaim your peace…. because you deserve to focus on YOU, not him. ✔️ The transformation that happens when you stop trying to control the uncontrollable.From social media stalking (we've all been there!) to emotional bargaining, I break it down just how control sneaks into your post-divorce life and why loosening your grip might just be the most freeing thing you do.We go in on:✨ Why controlling your ex or the situation is actually draining your energy.✨ The difference between ego-driven control vs. genuine desire to reconnect.✨ The truth about why fear of the unknown keeps you stuck.✨ A mindset shift that will help you release control and find peace.So, grab your coffee (or wine…. no judgment here), and let's talk about why letting go is your superpower.Hope you enjoy (and if you do, PLEASE rate and review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)Loads of Love,Sarah x

In this episode we tackle the incredibly joke heavy 'Not Going Out'. Written by Lee Mack and surprisingly the second-longest-running British sitcom (number of series), the word play, one liners and consistent punch lines make it one of the easiest watching shows around. But with so many jokes, is there much story and character intrigue to keep us engaged? All will be revealed in this weeks brotherly forces rewatch.

The secret is finally out of the bag! Lee Mack kindly agreed to this interview back in June and we have been practically bursting with excitement to tell you all! That excitement did slightly spill over and we got the name of both his podcast and TV show wrong in the recording of this podcast! Awkward by name, awkward by nature... For those of you living in the UK, you will already be familiar with Lee's work as he has been gracing your TV screens and theatres with his comedy since the mid 90s. For those of you who unfamiliar with his work, as well as being sober, Lee is simply one of the most celebrated and recognisable comics in the UK. From writing and starring in Not Going Out - the longest-running sitcom on air in the UK, to being a team captain on Would I Lie to You? since 2007. As if his writing, comedy and acting weren't enough - Lee also co-hosts the wonderful and hilarious I Can't Believe It's Not Buddha podcast. Perhaps most importantly, for the sake of our podcast, Lee's frankness and simplicity in talking about his sobriety was one of the first things that got through to Hame when he was drinking. We have no doubt that it will have the same impact on some of you. Whether you are still drinking and thinking of giving sobriety a try or are sober and looking for inspiration to carry on! We hope you enjoy this one and much as we both did! Show Notes This episode is proudly sponsored by https://sarahrusbatch.com New year? New you!

There's also some reminiscing about the 90's stand-up scene, Lee's early days starting out in comedy, the pleasures of podding and bizarrely, some damaged cushions that Joe and David begrudgingly agree to replace.

Gabby's guest this week is a comedian, writer, and TV presenter, and he's also turning the midlife crisis on its head! For Lee Mack, the midlife crisis is more like the midlife question mark: a time when you question some of the ways you've been told to live. Lee shares why things like meditation, veganism, and sobriety, have become increasingly important to him at the midpoint, as well as why he loves time off more and more but would trade it all for a shot at playing football for FC Barcelona! Entrepreneur and behaviour change coach, Andy Ramage, also joins to talk about how he is helping people who want to take a break from drinking alcohol. Hosted on Acast.

Wolfie and Clarke love their bus, but perhaps not as much as the mysterious Mr Cole and his dolly-bird nieces. As Clarke would say, `plenty of room up top!'   Wait, no. That's not it.   Hold on Tight! was replaced by a game show hosted by Lee Mack, in which three teams of three people, have three chances to win a big money prize. Notice anything odd?

Man who won £99,000 on 1% Club still hasn't received money a year laterThe lad who won £99,999 on ITV quiz show The 1% Club has revealed he's not actually been paid yet, despite winning the cash when he filmed the programme almost a year ago. Fronted by Lee Mack, the show sees an audience of 100 people posed increasingly difficult questions that fewer people know the correct the answer to. Contestants tackle the questions in hopes of reaching the final, where they can nab up to £100,000. He explained: “Even now I don't have the money because it comes in 30 days after the show airs.” Unlucky fella, but rules are rules. O'Halloran said his family ‘went nuts' when they found out, continuing: “I've just been so excited for it to get aired since last July, so it was just amazing to finally be able to see their reactions. “They couldn't believe I'd managed to keep it a secret which was even better.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week I am joined by the one and only Lee Mac - one of the UK's finest comedians who I have known and worked with for nearly three decades, so we have much to catch up on.

For decades Paul's been at the helm of the U.K.'s sharpest, long-running comedy shows “Live at the Apollo” and “Have I Got News For You?”. And if you look at the credits at the end of giant specials with Lee Mack, Dara O'Briain, Jason Manford, John Bishop, Frank Skinner and Russell Brand – you'll see this gentleman has worked with every major comic of the past 30 years. Prepare to be surprised and uplifted when you listen to the versatile, spiritual Paul Wheeler. http://paulpremnadama.com/ www.facebook.com/FireAndRainAndAmericanPie Support the podcast by becoming a Patron: ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/BEHINDTHESCENESWITHCOLINEDMONDS⁠⁠ Colin Edmonds socials ⁠⁠Facebook: colin.edmonds.73⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Instagram: colinedmondsssm⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Twitter:@ColinEdmondsSSM⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Website: https://www.steamsmokeandmirrors.com/⁠⁠ Listen to all episodes of the podcast available on; Spotify Amazon Music Audible Apple Podcasts BOOKS Buy Steam, Smoke and Mirrors ⁠Available at Caffeine Nights⁠ ⁠Available at Amazon⁠ ⁠Available on Audible⁠ Buy The Lazarus Curiosity: Steam, Smoke and Mirrors 2 ⁠Available at Caffeine Nights⁠ ⁠Available at Amazon⁠ ⁠Available on Audible⁠ Buy The Nostradamus Curiosity: Steam, Smoke and Mirrors 3 ⁠Available at Caffeine Nights⁠ ⁠Available at Amazon

Neil Webster (co-host of the podcast 'I Can't Believe It's Not Buddha' with Lee Mack) is back with a new podcast, all about his continuing investigation into the world of enlightenment, non-duality and all things mindful. You could say he's going it alone, but Neil would argue that as we are all ultimately one entity, we're all going together. But just to be clear, he is going it alone. Neil will bring you interviews, field reports, Q&As, general musings and stories about him dribbling uncontrollably whilst meditating.If you'd like to get in touch with the podcast, Neil would love to hear from you, at Dribblingbuddhist@gmail.com.

Ladies n' Genminminminmin (er, min...) please welcome the warm and wonderful silky-voiced beauty Michael Fenton Stevens to "The Good Listening To" Clearing!Michael Fenton Stevens is an English actor and comedian. He is best known for being a founder member of The Hee Bee Gee Bees and the voice behind the Spitting Image 1986 number 1 hit "The Chicken Song":"Hold a chicken in the air Stick a deckchair up your nose Buy a jumbo jet and then bury all your clothes Paint your left knee green then extract your wisdom teeth Form a string quartet and pretend your name is Keith"  We've all done it...Mike also has his own wonderful podcast called "My Time Capsule":A podcast that asks guests, such as Stephen Fry, David Mitchell, Caroline Quentin, Ross Noble, Lee Mack, Arabella Weir & Rob Brydon, for five things which they'd like to put in a Time Capsule.They can choose anything from an item, to a memory, a film or even a country. Four of them are things they want to preserve but one has to be something they're happy to lock away and never have to think about again. And he's also been in the seminal BBC sit-com "Only Fools & Horses".Like the Great Gatsby before him, Michael Fenton Stevens has always been proud to be an Oxford man - albeit more Brookes than Balliol. When, in his second year, Michael was introduced to fellow student, Mandy Fenton, it was love at first sight - at least as far as Michael was concerned. But, a bit like Doris Day, he kept his love a secret. When a subtle twist of fate revealed that Mandy Fenton also had feelings for Michael Stevens, they started on a path to becoming Mr and Mrs Fenton Stevens. They had children and now their children have children. First and foremost, Michael Fenton Stevens is a family man and his wife, Mandy Fenton Stevens, has a PhD in Bio Chemistry.  Michael remains her greatest fan to this day and acknowledges the profound personal transformation that he attributes primarily to her. Michael's other greatest influencers were his own parents, both alas no longer with him. His father, Harry, was a good professional comic before becoming a full-time criminal defence lawyer, who still enjoyed singing old music-hall songs at weekends, often encouraging Michael to join him on stage. Originally also,  Michael followed in his father's footsteps for a year or two, as a potential legal eagle - but all he ever really wanted to do was tread the boards himself, in his own right. Taking his father's advice, Michael boldly asked all and sundry to help him get an Equity card. Bill Kenwright kindly obliged. Again as directed by his father, Michael modelled his voice on the dulcet tones of the film star, Robert Donat, rather than continuing with his sprawling suburban drawl, originally from Bermondsey, modified in Orpington. Yvonne Mitchell acted as his acting coach. Anthony Quayle took on the role of professional mentor and pub lunch companion. Michael has worked with many of the most famous names in the business, including Richard Curtis, Ben Elton and Angus Deayton. Michael also has a number one novelty song to his credit for Spitting Image - the Chicken Song topped the charts in 1986! In the last two years Michael has created well over 200 "My Time-Capsule" podcasts, starting with Stephen Fry, no less! A former smoker, Michael is also just completing a one million step exercise to raise awareness of Type 2 Diabetes. Michael finds contentment sitting quietly beside the sea at Cooden Beach, throwing pebbles at a groyne. He has the rhyming skill of William McGonagall and the surreal humour of Man U star Eric Cantonar. In fact, Michael Fenton Stevens has a lot of wise words to say - and he says them all so beautifully. Please sit back and listen now. Thank you and enjoy!
