@@MandyCaneLane The next episode (where there's new features) is truly the golden episodes of XFM.

The Wedding Present are a band and Pleasant Valley Sunday was a Monkees tune which presumably they did a cover of.

[@vomgrady]

It was part of a release of a limited issue singles every month (covers on the b-side). Because it was limited edition whey would sell out and make it onto Top of the Pops every month. The album versions of the 45s is available called Hit Parade 1 & 2 well worth it. and is excellent.

[@bradders9743]

I like that you didnt even look up whether they actually covered it because its just not worth it.

“Big eyes and it was gangly”. This is probably the one non Karl episode that I don’t skip.

- Unofficial answer on 'Telecentro'.... it's a known ISP in Argentina and, from research, one of the few to offer your bandwidth speed in the area. So I used it. ;) - The song names that appear are always Band/Artist - Song Title format. - Karl's XFM business card - I'm resourceful. :) - You have seen Camfield's picture before (possibly then known as 'Cumfield') hehe. - You're welcome as always. The amount that this episode picked up, from the moment Karl called in, was noticeable :) I love how much you get out of every episode. Top notch stuff Mandy!

[@laupstad]

I had a fire in my old apartment, which is why I moved out, and it is indeed scary. And it does spread REALLY fast. I just had a small fire. The fire department said they only had to use a minimal amount of water to put it out and there was no water damage afterwards. But I emptied 3 fire extinguishers trying to keep in in check for the 20 minutes it took them to get to me. But scariest of all is the noise. A real fire is LOUD. It'll roar at you! And "that thing" in MiB... He is so right! I genuinely thought it might have been Steve playing that role! I love how Karl is still the center of the show by now even when he's not there! Quite different from the first half of the first season when you were missing more Karl. By now they can't do the show without him!

The music I listen to when I'm mad is Zebrahead's album Broadcast to the World. Nothing beats a bit of pop-punk-rock for getting the anger out, but then having an upbeat little chorus to boost your mood!

[@Andrew-jb2ib]

Example of weird British dialects: Karl, from the North, says he put his clothes on "the maiden". Steve, from the West Country, says "you mean your clothes horse!" Ricky, being from Southern England like me, thinks "what the hell is a clothes horse?" Each one just confidently assumes everyone in the UK speaks like them

[@GuyCouch]

about the cat: "if you love him he can be cute..." people have said that about me all my life

[@wildwine6400]

If you can remember, a few episodes ago, Steve was talking about passports and thought they were free 😅

I wish I remembered 😅

[@wildwine6400]

@@MandyCaneLane I think it was one of the Christmas episodes, as Karl was talking about sending his parents money for a passport for their Christmas present, and Steve thought they were free 😅 so since his ran out he must have been about 18 when he got his as they last 10 years in the UK for adults

I wanted to play guitar when I was younger too, as my uncles were in bands and I thought it was cool. They gave me one of their old electric guitars as my school was gonna start doing after school music lessons at my school with proper tutors. I showed up for the first lesson, and there was only me and 1 other person there 😭. So they scrapped it. Never bothered again after that

It's okay, everyone knows Lee Evans looks like a monkey.. and if there's lots of people laughing at that and only Lee is crying.. then it's still a net positive! 🐒 "SKIN DRINK Gentle Cleansing Milk - for happy healthy skin with soothing swiss glacial water" ...weird innit "Waldo" is called "Wally" in the UK If I wanted some _angry_ sort of unwinding music.. lately I would listen to Japanese "harajuku-core" metal band Hanabie (said hannah-bee-eh) - they are glorious 🍫-(🌸◡❄)ノ Bizarrely the final episode of Columbo came out about 5 weeks prior to this broadcast. I think I remember seeing it.. it was sort of like a terrible TV movie and Columbo shows up for 5 minutes during it lol I still wonder what Steve thought when he finally did see _that thing_ from Men in Black 2.. 🤣 Cheers Mandy! XFM Fridays

[@MandyCaneLane]

I have never heard of the music you mentioned, but now I am curious!

[@Wagoo]

I still think you would do well with the music and movie reaction stuff.. maybe on splinter channels if you want to not dilute your main channel. Hanabie’s song “We Love Sweets” is a reactor fave.. and I think you could do well in the music sphere too. Also.. whenever you talk about movies it seems like you’ve seen bugger all lol Maybe time for Mandy Music Lane and Mandy Movie Lane? ;)

[@drdassler]

A tenter, in England, was a frame they used to stretch fabrics on, centuries ago. It's where the phrase 'on tenterhooks' comes from. I'd be amazed if there wasn't a link. 😉

Happy birthday to my mom. I bet if it were up to Ricky, the sick person would have to go in, and track down the boss (in this case, Ricky being the boss), then the sick person would have to vomit everywhere, THEN he would give the person the day off for being sick. In USA, the phone number length, country code 1, then a three digit area code, then the number itself is seven digits. Columbo is a good show. RIP Peter Falk. Ricky & Steve are as unprepared as it gets. Two hours of "Lets get Karl on the phone." Which is funny, cause it's like Ricky stuck it to himself, in that, the Ricky Gervais Show is more like the Karl Pilkington Show. Claire just sat back and let Ricky & Steve go on. It would be even funnier if Karl listened back to the show, then the next week, go in and give Ricky's number out on air. It would be funny if that happened.

[@MandyCaneLane]

“Marth H.” Potato, potatoe haha… Speaking of features in animals, I used to have a black lab/husky mix, tuxedo fur, one blue eye, one brown. Best dog ever. Speaking of fires haha, bringing up a lot of topics here haha, look up the ‘Laguna Beach fire 1993.’ It came within 200 yards of my mom and dad’s house. We had to evacuate to South Laguna to my uncle’s, weren’t allowed back into town for a couple days. Burned down quite a few of my friend’s houses. And the recent wildfire in Paradise, Nor Cal, burning the entire town to the ground. It was like hell on earth. Scary shit… Yeah, you don’t want to let your drivers license expire. It’s 5 years here. If you let it expire you have to take the tests again. I have to renew mine before Jan 5th. Thanks for the reminder. 👍 31:50 - That looks like Karl’s booking mugshot… Hey now, I listen to Katy Perry when I’m mad. How dare you! Haha I’m just kiddin 🤪 That’s a good question tho, I don’t know, maybe Rage Against the Machine? But Steve mentioned my favorite band, Led Zepp. Mandy, you might like the vid, live in concert Danny Carey ‘Pneuma’ by Tool. Carey is one of the best drummers out there. You might like it, thought I’d throw it out there. “They left out the interesting bits.” lol. I’m guessing those interesting bits weren’t so accurate. I’ve never seen Billy Elliot, might have to watch it before next Friday.

This episode was pure gold

[@RichieC-n1j]

Well I actually like heavy metal with harsh vocals but I don't especially listen to it when I'm angry. When I'm angry I listen to aggressive rap. The mood I'm in when listening to metal is either energetic (for stuff like thrash metal) or melancholic/contemplative (black metal/doom/atmospheric). For some reason trying to listen to aggressive metal when I'm angry would make me feel like a cartoonish angsty teen, which I know doesn't make much sense since there are plenty of angsty teens listening to gangster rap and stuff but, you know... the mind is weird and illogical some times

[@RemiRudkovskaya]

Mandy😂 are you high How the hell is it offensive saying lee Evans looks like a chimp ( the closest thing to a human) But saying Samuel Jackson looks like a boxer dog or a french bulldog isn't? 😂😂

[@MandyCaneLane]

Hahaha! Never! You misunderstood, it isn't that Samuel L. Jackson looks like a dog, it is that A dog looks like Samuel L. Jackson, very similar, but NOT the same 🤣🤣🤣

Where's Waldo was Where's Wally over here. One of the more curious cultural differences for sure lol

[@MandyCaneLane]

Haha, it is "Where's Wally" in Argentina too. 🤭 Actually "Buscando a Wally" 🤪

[@ericforsyth]

@@MandyCaneLane Probably because it's originally a British series. Fwiw many countries have their own localisations, so it's not just the US being the US (like renaming Cluedo the much less witty "Clue"). Not sure why Waldo was considered more marketable than Wally, though.

[@kevintipcorn6787]

Depends on the type of angry. I generally want something upbeat mixed in to defuse stuff. Maybe a bit Of Cypress Hill "I ain't going out like that" or whatever for mid level. Something like Bleach03 "The Head That Controls Both Right And Left Sides Eats Meats And Slobbers Even Today" if its bad.

[@futurez12]

The 'tenders' in Argentina are probably derived from the Spanish verb 'tender' - 'to hang .'

[@duncanmagee]

to hang is colgar but i think it comes from extender, unfold, stretch etcetera. i think it was kevin bridges that knows a decent amount of spanish but was in spain trying to buy a clothes horse but explaining it literally 😆

[@jaypeakay5864]

@@duncanmagee Haha. Bless him. 😂FWIW, colgar tends to be the verb used in Spain too, but tender can also be used. It can also mean 'to lay out' (clothes, in this case). I mean, I'm just guessing, but tenders seems too close to that verb not to have derived from it.

I love how non-Brits just don’t understand irony. Not just you, but seems in general Americans and most non-Brits just don’t get irony or sarcasm

[@garethm3242]

I've often wondered why America changed the name of "Where's Wally" to "Where's Waldo" (it was originally a British book/series). I can only guess because they don't use the name Wally there. But I've never heard it much here either, only as a childish playground insult akin to "silly Billy". It is indeed a name though.

[@MandyCaneLane]

Hi! Just searched! "Originally dubbed Wally by British creator and illustrator, Martin Handford, his moniker changed when he hopped over the pond to North America. Wally became Waldo. Why? Pretty simple really: Publishers around the world decided to give “Wally” a name that local readers would be familiar with, hence the minor tweak."

[@ericforsyth]

@@MandyCaneLane I've never heard of "Waldo" outside Ralph Waldo Emerson, though, and that was a middle name taken from a surname, plus he had been dead for over a hundred years at that point. Was that name all the rage in the US in the 80's and early 90's, I wonder? 😂
