#033: Another Brick in the Wall

12/15/21 • 52 min

It’s almost our last episode of 2021 and what a year it has been. 2 of the Blind Guys once again have drama in their lives as both Stuart and Jan have the builders in, renovating their very plush and velvety residences. Jan’s ground floor is now so level you could play snooker on it but unfortunately Stuart’s place still needs painting and tiling before he can take a shower.

We are talking with Ken Brandt author of ‘Positive Vision: Enjoying the Adventures and Advantages of Poor Eyesight’ (https://www.amazon.com/Positive-Vision-Enjoying-Adventures-Advantages/dp/0648762505). Hold onto your seats, folks, this guy likes to dive bomb when flying an aircraft.

The Blind Guys are wondering if they should go to Africa and help distribute vaccinations, and will Stuart bring the Ham & Cheese sambos?

Gary from South Africa has sent a message on why he is worried about getting the vaccination, and another listener wants to know if Stuart is a priest? Huh!! Spoiler alert: he’s not!

Now, to the hottest ticket in town: We’d love to invite you to come along to our Christmas party on December 18 at 8pm GMT. It’s a virtual get-together and we’re planning to have the usual mad banter and laughs. It’s a BYOG gig - bring your own gargle. Can you email [email protected] to confirm you’re attending, and use this link to join: tinyurl.com/BlindGuysParty. You never know who might show up... Ho Ho Ho.

So, hike your trousers up good and tight, ladies and gentlemen, we don’t want any builders arse crack exposed. Pour yourself a glass of egg nog and settle down by the fire to listen to this week’s episode of Blind Guys Chat.

#032: Rants, Routines and Ridiculous FaceTime share

Yes folks, it’s time for another brilliant episode of Blind Guys Chat. This week the Blind Guys are out of the gate faster than a greyhound on smack because they have a bee in their bonnet about the latest COVID-19 variant and the protests happening in the Netherlands. Have you got a good argument for not taking the vaccine? Well, we want to hear from those of you who think it’s all a load of codswallop. Stuart is going to give us a demo of his Alexa routine which he has set up to keep him warm and snug. Spoiler alert: he is too lazy to switch the heating on himself. Jan and Óran attempt to do a demo with Stuart on FaceTime sharing, but guess what? It’s a load of hooey and they can’t be bothered to subscribe to Apple music just to listen to Stuart’s spangley showtunes. Clodagh is here with emails. Will there be a Blindie tip? Will we get to hear the Blindie tip jingle again? The suspense is killing us. And finally, are you interested in joining the Blind Guys for an online Christmas show? Email us and we’ll put you on the guest list. So, quit trying to unravel those Christmas lights, turn off that Perry Como ‘best of’ CD you found in a bargain bin all those years ago, and snuggle up on the couch with man’s best friend... Blind Guys Chat.

#034: A Christmas Special

It’s our last Blind Guys Chat episode for the year and what better way to finish 2021 than having some of our listeners and guests all on the show. We’ve got representation from the US of A, Scotland, South Africa and even County Mayo this week. The Blind Guys have cooked up what they consider to be The Best Christmas Quiz in the Galaxy, which includes questions on London buses, and ham & cheese toasties. And our very special guest tells us which Blind Guys Chat jingle he prefers, spoiler alert, it’s not Stuart’s! Yes, Santa says hello to all the boys and girls (especially Stuart’s son Adam and Jan’s kids Rosalie and Tycho). Santa tells us about what he has been up to all year, and asks Tycho to help him get the reindeer up to speed for the big night. So, step out of the kitchen for a while, let that turkey prepare its own stuffing, pull up an Elf reclining chair and prepare to get snuggly & warm with the most awesome, Chris-tastic Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious podcast in this parallel universe. Blind Guys Chat. PS: Happy hoo-ha!
