AbitaBlue - EURO2020 Podcast - "EuroTrashed"

The Boys are back !!

This time with another special episode of their ABITABLUE series called "World Of Sport"

For this episode, the boys have given Jason Mohammad some well earned time off after his tireless work during the Olympics on the BBC and quickly replaced him with the amazingly funny and talented Welsh Comedian, Actor & Writer Leroy Brito.

The boys take a funny look back at the past few weeks sporting events like The Olympics & The Lions Tour of South Africa and a look forward to the new football league campaigns and other sporting events.

Also Jason & Leroy inadvertably realise that they are on the same plane to Ibiza in a few weeks time + Andy Gorman treats us to one of the worst jokes in history !!

Sit back and listen in to the latest ramblings from the Abitablue ManCave and please don't take anything you may hear in this podcast too seriously..

Enjoy.. !!

The Fizzy Fish Final

So we’ve reached the final episode of the “biggest and best Euro 2020 podcast” and the lads are firing like a Joe Calzaghe right hook!

Showing the tenacity of Leonardo Bonucci, the guile of Lorenzo Insigne and glamour of Roberto Mancini - our football comedy trio are in sparkling (San Pellegrino) form.

They assemble just a few hours after the European Championship final in which Italy beat England on penalties and there’s a very special guest bringing a Sardinian flavour to proceedings.

Jason “Don Key” Trinder attempts to reassure everyone he knows which countries took part in the tournament. Andy “Fizzy Fish” Gorman eats sweets and, well, just winds everyone up. There’s also a return from suspension for Jason “Uppercut” Mohammad.

The boys assess the Italy - England final, argue, tell awful jokes, pick their best Euro 2020 moments and play you their highlights of the past five weeks of this “award-winning podcast.”

So - grab a packet of Fizzy Fish and listen to JT’s adoration for goalkeepers (and clean sheets),
Andy and JMo’s praise for Federico Chiesa and why one of our own may be the latest pay-per-view boxing sensation!

Thank you to everyone who’s listened to our boys’ EuroTrashed fun and games over the past five weeks and the good news is, we’re making plans to return and stage our first ever ABITABLUE Boxing Bout.

So tell your friends all over the world including GermLand that the boys are back in town!

Forza Abitablue!

Another amazing guest joins the Abitablue lads !!

This time they're joined "LIVE" in the studio by none other than Northern Ireland International Manager IAN BARACLOUGH !! #GAWA

The lads, Jason "Keepers Union" Trinder & Andy "I was Wrong" Gorman are joined by a Bona Fide International Football Manager !!

In this episode of the podcast, Baraclough talks to us about the Euro2020 tournament, The impending NI World Cup campaign, his schooldays with Jason Trinder, his football career and his ambitions to bring success for his Northern Ireland Football team and its amazing fans. , We also hear about his love of daffodils and some funny stories from the good old days of Leicester City, Mansfield, Notts County, QPR & Scunthorpe etc.

Enjoy everyone.

WoW.. Never thought we'd be here saying this !!

The lads, Jason "Lettuce Wrists" Trinder & Andy "The Windmill" Gorman are joined by the legend that is JOE CALZAGHE !!!

In this special bonus edition of the podcast, Joe talks to us about his love of The Azzuri, his take on the Italian team, the tournament and how's he's enjoying watching and attending some of the games with his beloved family.

A real legend of boxing and "The Pride of Wales", "The Italian Dragon" himself gives us @Abitablue an insight into his love of football PLUS maybe an "exclusive" for Abitablue listeners about potentially getting the gloves back on and back in the ring ???

Thanks JOE..

Enjoy everyone.

Episode.5 "Man Down"

So we’ve now reached the Semi Finals of Euro 2020 and the boys are still looking fitter than ever going into the final stages. They have however been dealt a cruel injury blow ??

Yes, Jason “Jelly Baby” Trinder, Andrew "D'ya want some of this O'Fist” Gorman are back for another excellent edition of ABITABLUE EuroTrashed.

Sadly though, There’s no Jason "The Stat Man" Mohammad today (illness) but the lads still fill the airtime with the usual incessant bickering, football banter and arguments but minus all the Stats and intelligent stuff from JM !!... Brilliant !! you say ??

So kick back, relax and settle down to Andy’s paper shuffling, pen clicking & heavy breathing, JT trying to suggest that every GK is the best player on each side and also the boys chat with non other than Manchester Utd, Cardiff City & Rep of Ireland legend...Mr Derek Brazil !! (Sir Alex's bessie mate)

Laughs & Giggles all the way.

So we’ve reached the last eight of Euro 2020 and the boys are still going strong. There’s no knocking out these lads in the heat of Baku.

Yes, Jason “Wine Gum” Trinder, Andy “No Socks” Gorman and Jason “Stats” Mohammad are back for a bumper edition of ABITABLUE EuroTrashed.

There’s no special guest (contractual issues) so the lads fill airtime with incessant bickering, football banter, useless stats and arguments over Wine Gums.

So kick back, relax and settle down to Andy’s assessment of where it all went wrong for Wales, JT’s defence of yet another Euro goalkeeping blunder and JMo’s obsession with stats - which sadly resulted in him getting punched in the face by Trinder!

There’s also a guest appearance from the studio cleaner. So put the duster down and add some sparkle to your podcast world.

“GermLand”

The boys are back for more Euro 2020 fun and games after a crazy night of football and curries.

Former goalkeeper now Ron Burgundy-style presenter Jason Trinder makes up countries, former Cardiff City Pasty Collector Andy Gorman talks Wales v Denmark (and attempts to fix the next podcast competition!) Meanwhile, Jason Mohammad "The Crown Green King" talks about his surprising love of lawn bowls.

The lads talk about the final round of matches, their big night in front of the telly with a curry, look ahead to the last 16, ask questions of England’s second-half performances and say goodbye to Steve Clarke’s Scotland.

This week’s special guest is former Everton and England midfielder Leon Osman who talks about the Toffees, Wales’ chances of making the last eight and his favourite goal.

There’s the second winner of our Sock Council competition and the usual laughs and jokes.

You may need a map!

“Laptop Mornings”

The boys are back for more Euro 2020 fun and games after a win for Wales & Italy coming up, that draw between England & Scotland. Former goalkeeper now respected presenter Jason Trinder has praise for Danny Ward & Jordan Pickford, former defender now Tyre expert Andy Gorman talks us through his morning routine and the odd bit of Aussie football and new signing Jason “Why am I here” Mohammad arrives in the studio early for a change and talks us through his infamous goal at the Cardiff City Stadium.

So which one of the ABITABLUE crew couldn't speak for 4 minutes because he was laughing so much? And who will win our competition this week for the trendy @SockCouncil socks?

The lads talk about the great Wales win v Turkey, Aaron Ramsey and the Italy game, England's performance & again Scotland’s inability to take their chances and welcome Cardiff City FC & Scotland LEGEND super Kev Mcnaughton to the show from his bed with a bottle of Peroni !!

There’s plenty of nonsense and the usual laughs and gags along the way.

“Cooking A Lobster”

The boys are back for more Euro 2020 fun and games after a win, draw and loss for the Home Nations. Former goalkeeper now average presenter Jason Trinder has sympathy with Scotland keeper David Marshall, former defender now loudmouth Andy Gorman talks food and the odd bit of football and new signing Jason “Lights Out” Mohammad arrives in studio sporting a bruised eye.

So which one of the ABITABLUE crew threw a can of San Pellegrino at their new signing? Or did one fall off the studio shelf as JT did his Alan Partridge product placement?

The lads talk Harry Wilson for Wales, Gareth Southgate’s masterful team selection, Scotland’s inability to take their chances and welcome Euro 2016 hero and super fella Neil Taylor to the show.

There’s the first winner of our Question of the Week and the usual laughs and gags along the way including Andy’s Lobster story.

ABITABLUE EURO 2020 - Preview Episode.

It's Here !! "It’s all kicking off in Europe"...

The preview episode of the new saga gets underway with our two hosts Jason Trinder and Andy Gorman arguing over who’s making the most noise in the studio and spraying cans of Coca-Cola all over the microphone.

When order is restored, they introduce their special signing for the tournament - broadcasting legend and Pep lookalike wannabe Jason Mohammad and special guest former Leeds United, Everton, and all-around superstar Jermaine Beckford.

Hear the boys chat about Wales’ striker woes, Scotland’s chances (brief), and England’s midfield conundrum. There’s also Jermaine’s epic Duncan Ferguson story and his tips for Euro glory.

Oh and has anyone seen Lee Hendrie?

All will become clear as you join the ABITABLUE crew with a brew.

Enjoy!
