Rum Doings Episode 38: Best Of 1 To 10
by John Walker on Aug.05, 2010, under Rum Doings, The Rest
It’s the summer, and to celebrate Nick and I are giving ourselves a break from the sickening sight of each other. So this Episode 38 is something of a “best of” I discovered while rooting around in the attic fifty years in the future. It collects together moments from episodes 1 to 10, which I’d forgotten, and you probably did too.
Don’t ignore it just because of that! It’s really good! It’s the half hour of decent bits from the first 450. In hindsight we probably should have included more decent bits. Nick sings! John doesn’t! The origin of cream teas! What an unbelievable treat.
Tweet it, Facebook it, do whatever it is that makes the internet work. And writing a review on iTunes makes us happy in our tummies.

Just as well, really, because I haven’t heard episodes 1-5 yet :)

Hooray! Will be nice to remember some long-forgotten memories.
Also, a couple of episodes ago John mentioned how he found it amusing that some people seemed to think that there was no photo of Mr. Mailer on the internet.
Well “some people” should be ill-informed no longer!

(He’s the one holding the book)

Ha ha! That isn’t him!

Umm… James, I’m not holding the book.
I’m good.

I think hes the one in the t-shirt…bit of a clue there lol.

Oh! You people might just be right…
I still think Rum Doings is funnier if you pretend Nick is that fat Guinness man. I like to imagine him eating a tub of KFC chicken while chastising John about his weight.
Also, why has John become an old Morningside lady in the future?

The tubby chap is Mr Guinness. Hence his holding the record certificate.

Yay i can finally make the I love Nick Mailer badges i’ve always wanted to make after that episode of I think not this podcast but the other one John goes on that Nick doesn’t get much love from fans like he does. So a badge i think would help.

Isn’t that Nick Frost holding the shiny book? On a tangent, I’ve always loved how unnecessarily shiny the world record books books are.
And thank you for making this, I’m sure it took a lot of effort. Listening back through the early podcasts that is! Sorry.

@ Skusey – no, it’s not Nick Frost.
If Nick Mailer is t-shirt guy, then I am confused. He look about 12 in that picture. I thought Nick was scarf man, next to Stephen Merchant.

Scarf Man is Karl Pilkington.

Are you imitating someone specific Mr. Walker?
August 6th, 2010 on 22:09
It’s me in fifty years.
August 6th, 2010 on 22:10
Not me – I.
August 6th, 2010 on 22:44
i think in our language now me is I a bit…since to be honest its easier to the tongue to say me then to say I, I would say in some circumstances and that’s why you get this.

A vintage offering. I particularly enjoyed the nightmarish qualities of your quiz show theme tune.
August 8th, 2010 on 02:31
But the best episode was eleventeen! Why no eleventeen?
That was an enjoyable compilation.

I always imagined Nick as looking like the sarcastic teenage stereotype from that execrable sitcom, My Family (Gabriel Thomson). Turns out that my guess wasn’t so far from the truth.
August 9th, 2010 on 17:06
I always imagined Norman Mailer circa 1950.
August 9th, 2010 on 20:29
Uncle Norman was far naughtier than I then.

Of course, your accent won’t get posher in 50 years as you make it in the podcast :D; it will stay the same, but God knows what the kids will be speaking then.
