The Alexei Sayle Podcast ep37: THEATRE OF THE STREETS (feat. Ogmios)

Alexei and Talal get picked up by Ogmios (School of Zen Motoring series on KZbin and BBC3) in his Vauxhall Corsa and go for a drive around London. They discuss Ogmios' inspiration, the philosophy and martial art of driving, ASMR and, of course, Brecht, Corbyn and firearms.
We really hope you enjoy this special video edition of The Alexei Sayle Podcast. Please let us know in the comments what you think.
Many, many thanks to Ogmios for joining us.

Ogmios is my spirit guide.

[@anthonymichael5078]

My friend told me about the Zen motoring guy after I regailed him with some of my most recent motoring douchebaggery. I will absolutely be looking up his other KZbin clips as this was sensationally good. Thank you for this.....

[@petrichor649]

My favorite Zen clip is the one with the overexcited dancing Orothodox Jews, so much fun.

[@blossie33]

Yes 😄 I live in Stamford Hill so I could really appreciate that!

[@tyvianv]

I absolutely love both AS and Ogmios and have been fervent supporters of what you both do for many many moons. As far back as '....new motor'. I find it disappointing that there's so much negativity around LTN's - and fence sitting on the subject from Ogmios. They're by no means perfect but unless you want to continue to live in a City dominated by motorised transport and all the 'crap' that brings, then replacing road infrastructure with more universally welcoming routes is the only way forward. It's ably presented as a moment of Zen in the video as you all drive into an LTN with Children and parents walking in the middle of the Street on, I presume their way to or from School. XXXxing amazing in my humble opinion. That's exactly the City we should aspire to live in. x I keep tropical fish in my underpants

[@Supernice65]

Jerzei Balowski and Serenity go for a drive. 👌

[@SteveCunio]

What a pleasure that was. 😁 Thank you. God bless Jeremy. From any solution arises many problems!

[@liminal-m3g]

Thanks Alexei and Talal, it's always great to see you guys! 🤩👍

[@stevensmeagol6066]

What a combo, hope they pick up Corbyn take him for a falafel

[@richturnermusic]

Very interesting, and good to see support for another KZbinr. I don't really get resentment against LTNs. I lived in London for 14 years. Guys, you've got buses and tubes. You don't need your precious little tin box to get around.

[@skintslots]

Ashley Neal (Ogmios last guest) is the son of former Liverpool FC's highly decorated player Phil Neal and Ashley was a former professional footballer at Liverpool too. Alexei being a big Liverpool fan would know this,I imagine.

[@neilwilson5785]

Honestly this road philosophy is on to something. Something new and cool. Great video guys.

[@4GMPaul]

Great to see Stafford Beer being discussed. The man was a genius.

[@catney104]

Another great episode. I’ve been a big fan of Ogmios and his shows and videos for a long time. He has definitely influenced my conscientious driving around the streets of north London. Good chat!

[@cindihofton2000]

At one point you ask whether Ogmios thinks his videos make drivers safer, or better drivers, something like that. Let me tell you Birmingham is cowboy country, where people accelerate toward roundabouts, jam the roundabouts, drive the wrong way down streets and all sorts. We often resort to the Ogmios school of motoring to keep calm and maintain our zen, otherwise we’d be jumping out with a tyre iron!

[@bnrynlds]

That was fantastic, really enjoyed it. Will sub Ogmios immediately.

[@Magicalmike1]

❤ Ogmios so chilled 😉

[@_PatDog]

Talal, I like the way the footage looks after 55 minutes. It's got the look of the faux vintage film stock filters

[@JohnSmithiuyytw]

I'm a big fan but wasn't really bothered about watching this as I'm not at all a car can but I'm very glad I did. Yet another great show. Thanks all!

[@ozbaz99]

Looking forward to this - It drops Early evening here in Australia 6:30pm so a good time

[@jontout]

Nice to finally see Talal.

[@rajjy1976]

My man’s had that car six years and he still hasn’t updated the date on the dashboard display 😂😂😂😂

[@Way827]

Amazing; Alexei does Tai Chi! Brilliant. I like Qi Gong and a bit of Tai Chi and Meditation. :)

[@Deliquescentinsight]

It was well past the time when a Zen master would present a driving podcast, these are times where everything is accounted for and all possibilities are manifested for you, just so long as you apply your consciousness accurately- as we dream, so we create.

[@daveyboy6210]

I watch, Ashley, Alex and Ogmios so I am loving the fusion of thinking

[@kraven512]

Great stuff here. Thanks guys

[@zindi1138]

dang i was thinking of you yesterday ..awesome

[@mq1563]

What a great guest. A thoughtful and interesting fella.. An excellent show.

[@kerryannestevenson6099]

Loved that,Thankyou

[@lesleywhite123]

Really enjoyed that. Interesting - the LTN chat as we have it bad here in Lambeth and yeah the amount of people caught out in Dulwich. Would be fairer to have a first time let off.

[@handibode]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@bernadetteoliver290]

Talal sorry to hear you were ill and glad to see both of you return. Maybe worth following up on the Ashley Neal reference as he is a little zen as well. He has set up a cycling channel and might be worth getting Alexei back on the bike. Might do a tour of Liverpool and cycling infrastructure. Think Ashely may have a famous footballing dad that even Alexei may have heard of.

[@Talalaban]

Thank you bud x

[@williamsdaf]

Superb! More please.

[@AlexeiSayleOFFICIAL]

On it!

[@macmoore4599]

Talal looks like a child on his phone, sat in the back waiting to go to a pencil museum.

[@dalstonjazz]

Yes looks like a school street penalty coming your way depending on time - £65 at discount. Better to get back on bikes.

[@4-dman464]

13:00 ARENA, yes, classic documentaries. The pacing was reflective and the pov was offbeat and the editing from one scene to another might throw you a curveball. Of course, in those days, Alexei was one big curveball.

[@greymouser8659]

Made my day to see the notification

[@Steve-Fish]

This is just carpool karaoke without me putting my fist through my monitor. (and also i like this).

[@Mistahhmiyagi]

OGMIOS the greatest British battle rapper of all time.. don't flop all day 🇬🇧🍻

[@thistribe]

Only Alexei...

[@sherwoac]

full time job? merch please!

[@justininfrance]

At least Talal was there to ask Ogmios questions.

[@richardsmith4992]

Speed Bumps are great. In a rural environment you would drive with care due to poorer roads, farm vehicle spillages, blind bends, high hedges, fewer lit roads etc. etc. In cities and towns that isn't the case but there are more hazards due to there being more people/traffic, so if the speed bumps keep you driving at the appropriate posted speed - good, they're doing their job. I drive/cycle/walk and public transport, am kind to animals and hate electric scooters on pavements ;)

[@billyjo1148]

cool guest would like to see Yevgeny Prigozhin next he could show alexei all the military kit and goodys

[@longjonwhite]

Ah… bugger.

[@Natura1Wyrm]

When I see someone I don't know as a guest on some other podcasts I give it a pass. Never done that here, and they never fail to be interesting and entertaining. I guess that's down to you guys being discerning over who joins you.

[@MLB9000]

I’ve been a fan of Ogmios for a few years, as well as a regular listener to Alexi’s podcast, so for me it’s an opposite reaction. I love it when different podcasts and KZbin channels do crossovers. It’s almost feels like when Batman shows up in a Marvel movie

[@mattiethemongoose3rd]

I see it's the Baldy Beardy club.

[@longjonwhite]

Jesus would need a 12 seater… maybe a Previa..

[@Jaysonbc1234]

Only 17 more boosters to flatten the current thing.

[@michaelrobson3460]

I never even got the notification for this. Ive gone maxine peake to ogmios. Whats going on?

[@stonkez8452]

Is average speed of traffic inside M25 much faster than horse & cart ?

[@blimpism]

🤔I think Jesus would drive an EV converted Citroën Acadiane 😁

[@mattiethemongoose3rd]

46.40- can't believe Alexei Sayle, Anarchist, is a snitch.

[@alabama46]

Just release the audio!

[@AlexeiSayleOFFICIAL]

Sorry! We really felt it worked with the video best

[@ko6el]

​@@AlexeiSayleOFFICIALdon't apologize I was pleased there was a visual podcast what we used to call a video 🤗🤭

[@Philip-ei8pu]

A.I. negates marxism.

[@BakedPotatoFiend]

Ogmios and Talal look remarkably similar, even similar skull shape too not to get the forceps out

[@theloveboxquartet]

The car is the most impersonal and anti-social method of transport out there. Alexi is too car-pilled.

[@jasondavis8886]

Zen lol

[@helenswan705]

I completely disagree that driving is intimate. I find it the opposite. Car driving makes us selfish and insular. You guys are unusual. Even car parking is a total study in selfishness. And living down here in Devon, the number of drivers who are unwilling or unable to reverse! You find out especially if you are riding on a bus, which I often am. everyone absolutely everyone in a car expects the bus to reverse! it's a public service vehice for goodness sake, get out of the way! But you are right about the ambulance thing.

[@LeroyKinkade]

Pot Holes? ? Speed Hump ? Englands roads are shite.
