Another example of an editorialising newspaper interview that comes out saying something a bit different than I intended. I did a chat about
my TV loves and hates with the Guardian last week and the final question was what show that hadn't been cancelled should be cancelled. I didn't have anything prepared and having had all my TV shows cancelled (some before they were even filmed) I didn't particularly want to pick on anything. There are shows I don't like, but other people seem to love them and it would seem odd to cancel something instead of carrying on not watching it. So when pressed I suggested that maybe the Simpsons had had a good run and certainly wasn't as good as it once was (though I feel I would probably have said that not much is), so maybe I'd choose that, or just not watch it instead. The article came out today and is headlined “The Simpsons should stop now.†Which isn't in the spirit of the answer that was wheedled out of me. The journalists don't write the headlines and that's a nice bit of click bait from the Guardian. It worked too as the article leapt into the top 10 reads as a result.
I think the Simpsons should carry on until it becomes unprofitable (that's a reference to an episode of the show of which I am still a huge fan).
Ah well. As long as people think I am a cunt, that's all that really matters.
A fun surprise video stone clear this evening (always be ready Flag Hagf - they have to be fecret to furprife the Ftone Ftafi) in which my shorts proved to be a little slack and then as they rode down a bit the button came off, so I waist danger of exposing my underwear to the other doggers (as I call the dog walkers). There were camera malfunctions too so the action is in three bits
Can there be anything funnier than a man trying to run away from a stranger whilst filming and trying to hold on to a dog lead and his shorts, but all shot from his POV.
We're 35% of the way to the total with just 9/14 days left. It's going to be tight.
And I recorded loads of stuff today, including a chat with Lou Sanders for her Cuddle Club podcast (she gave me a cuddle via the astral plain, something I don't really believe in, but it somehow made me feel a bit better anyway), some ads for the podcast, including one advising men how to shave their testicles and a long interview with some impressive youngsters from JLGB (a thriving, innovative national youth organisation that has supported Jewish young people for 120 years). They did a good job of pretending to know who I was and have interviewed well over 100 celebrities in lockdown including Data from off of Star Trek.
You can see me waffling on about myself here.
Days are full, but my “work†is fun. Wednesday night I am chatting with Sindhu Vee on RHLSTP and Thursday chatting to Ally about the new. Both at 8pm.
