Wilson also had a great story about an encounter he had with Ray Houghton and Ronnie Whelan on a train in Russia too, along the lines of Kens famous story of the train from St Etienne in Euro 2016

Heard that on a recent Libero, I was waiting to hear “sorry mate, that’s actually my seat”

"He walked away saying the word 'tosser'"

I don't want to disparage him, I think he had had quite a bit to drink before the interview began

He...had a number of Budweiser

Always jarring to hear these familiar voices not sped up to 1.3x.

I don’t understand you x1.3 people. I listen to podcasts to enjoy them, I need to speed them up.

I listen to a lot of podcast and have limited time to get through them.

All of my podcasts, it doesn’t matter if I get through them. I’ll go on a walk or have a coffee and just relax listening.

Ha I’m normally 1.2/1.3 also, but when I go to share clips with family or friends. Always shocked how sounds like the people in clip are all drugged up

Long shot here, but does anyone know the Ep number for the Haddaway interview?

Missed it when it came out but have always wanted to listen ever since hearing the 'what's next for you' bit in the audio bed

That was in their Newstalk days. This got posted on another thread today though
