The Dick Turpin Roadshow

Matt is is left ‘holding the baby’ this episode as Pete decides there’s something far better on the TV than entertaining the great unwashed masses of the FOSS community. Given Matt’s chronic monophobia as reported in the Lower Piddle Gazette last Tuesday, Les Pounder (AKA lesp) and Jon Spriggs (AKA jontheniceguy) step in for a threesome with Matt.

We hear how Pete was let down by  Jon’s personal URL shortening service disapearing up its own jaxy which in turn broke just about every link on the shows website. As you would expect from a typical FOSS member it’s all someone else’s fault and anyway “I didn’t think he would use it here there and everywhere.“ 

Room x1101 makes a comeback with Flash being the target of Matt’s venom but flash finds an unlikely ally in jontheniceguy! Les finally reveals the only reason he came on the show was to pimp Ucubed and bleats on and on about it.

Yet again the team manage to hoodwink some poor unsuspecting victim guest co-host on to the show. Shane Marks is a game developer and ‘Person of interest’ to the Irish police. If you like trying to decipher Pete’s accent and phrases you’re gonna love this bearded leprechaun.

The guys discuss Android coming back into the Linux fold and Pete tells us how a listener solved his texting gripes with a Google app ‘MightyText’.

Room x1101 makes a long overdue comeback with a suggestion from Shane but Matt and Pete deny all responsibility for the the subject matter and force him to introduce it.

Matt tells us what he watches on the TV of a morning while sat in his PJ’s eating rice crispies and the team are overwhelmed at the new listeners they are getting even if they don’t know how tdtrs likes emails to the show to start and it’s not “Hi Guys”.

On behalf of Matt and I we’d like to say “Thanks Evan and is it up yet?”

This episode is about Matt’s expedition to the dark and mysterious land of Belgium to drink beer and freeze his todger off. Marvel at his prowess negotiating transport services, gasp as he sneers at the snow by wearing nothing more than a tee shirt and some moisturiser, swoon as he relays the wondrous talks he attended on day one.

We hear about the *Drama* of the naked lady in one of the talks which ends up in a typical free fall conversation where the team tread on every eggshell imaginable including sexism, racism and taking drugs live on air.

We finish up the show hearing how Matt nearly fell foul of the UK customs simply for trying to help his country plus his intention to go back next year with plans to get Pete there possibly inside a large brown envelope.
