I bet Toney missed that on purpose last night.
Why?

I'm gonna guess that this is a joke about betting.

The latest episode of the High Performance podcast is an interview with our very own Ollie. Worth a listen if you get chance

Jake Humphries, just how? He's like the James Corden of sports presenting.

He's like Alan Partridge if Alan Partridge wasn't funny.

'High performance'. He's four lost neurons away from Sigma Grindset territory.

Sadly, like Alan Partridge these days, then.

The most recent TV series still had its moments (the IRA episode was classic Patridge), but I watched his latest stand up show and it was possibly the worst thing I've ever seen. And I was at Bradford away.

The books, podcasts and TV shows are still great. I spent a hideous amount of money to see the live show at the O2. Fucking hell.

Yeah that pretend management consultancy stand up thing was dire, I think I'd actually rather go and see Mrs Browns Boys being filmed. I thought the recent TV series was dismal too. The odd couple of minutes of decent stuff (like the IRA bit) weren't enough to save it in my opinion. Has he got new writers, because every "joke" just seemed to take way too long, and most of them just weren't funny in the slightest. Compared to KMKY, I'm Alan Partridge and even the underrated Mid Morning Matters, it was shite.

He's had the same writers since Mid-Morning Matters (I agree, it's really good). It just doesn't work as a live concept because his whole schtick is how he reacts to other people.

This is reassuring as I got his latest book for my birthday. Really enjoyed the other two. Always fancied giving the podcasts a go but can't be arsed to get into Audible. I keep hoping they'll be released on some physical format and I'll ask for them for a Christmas/birthday as I can never think of things to ask for as it is.
