  • Griggs On Sea

    Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart

    -------------------

    Well shit, we made it to FIFTY episodes guys. That's pretty cool.

    And who better to celebrate with (by moaning about how shit everything is) than Stupid Hearts Club favourite Alistair Griggs. I really enjoyed this chat which happened in real life when I tempted him to come and visit me in Hove. In fact while here, I forced him to confront the sea, which he despises with all his rotten heart.


    Hear us discuss Griggs lack of empathy, capacity for gratitude and strange preference for faceless corporations over bijous, small privately owned businesses, while I yelp and marvel at the sheer gaul of the man.


    At least two more episodes coming soon v quickly, to make up for the lag since late Feb-

  • Having a chat with Camille Ucan from the Birthday Girls House Party Podcast

    Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart

    -------------------

    Am v excited about being here in Brighton on so many levels so let's hope it spreads to my creative output.

    I hope you enjoy this lovely chat I had with Camille. She is a bloody great kid and a well established sketch-character fixture on the live comedy scene along with her pals Rose and Beattie, who together are known as Birthday Girls. They are ace and have a very popular and respected pod too, which is also called Birthday Girls House Party.

    In fact yours truly is a guest on it this week, so go and find that if you fancy some extra Unca Nico time.

    Awooogaaa!!

  • Goodbye Forever, Pig!

    Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart

    -------------------

    Pop the champagne! Open the patio doors and let the bells of joy ring out! I'm back, AND have fled the wretched, needy arms of Miles Chapman, my only friend for 'Miles' when I lived in solitude in the tiny village of dead-herbs, for good.

    Now, I live in the glittering whirlpool of Brighton and Hove, with it's coffee cafe's, skateboard-vinyl/hybrid jamdowns and vegan shoe'd be-dreadlocked dreamers!

    This episode was recorded just before Christmas when I met up with  Miles for a coffee and then broke up with him in a car while presenting him with a needlessly cruel gift. (Tee hee). We then talked about more 'Beige' stuff that makes our blood boil. And generally nipped at each other a bit like hawks pecking a dead badger.


    Enjoy it. For it will never happen again as long as I breathe!


    It's over babe! You're SO dumped!


    Ma'am


    PS- As a Bonus Clip I am going to upload the audio of Daddy Ma'am giving Pig his 'Don't Care Package' in the car! Horrible boy!

  • Alistair Griggs (The Grinchggs)

    Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart

    -------------------

    Ho ho ho, it's time to stare in wide-eyed-awe at anti-festive misery-arse Alistair Griggs and equally sour-faced human energy leach St uncle Nicolas moaning about what a pain in the throat Christmas is for all concerned. Hear us lurch around like the feckless spawn of the dark spirit as we discuss the pointlessness of kind gestures in general including cards, gifts and writing love songs, as Griggs reminds us why I started bullying him for comedic effect- which is that he has a habit of saying unspeakably un-empathetic things with the confidence of a God.

    Plenty of classic Griggs to enjoy here. Do stay tuned for a lil cover version at the end too, just for you Alistair xxx


    Hope this gets you all through whatever hell awaits you this Christmas-


    Stupid Hearts Club Forever Baby

    Merry Christmas one and all

  • Solo mental health check-in

    Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart

    -------------------

    Hello loves.

    I decided to record a solo one this week just cos I have caught myself feeling happier lately and think I should put that into context for anyone struggling at the moment, having been seriously depressed earlier in the year myself. I hope it helps some of you to hear someone wanging on about recovery and stuff. All I can say is, whoever you are, I care, we care and other people very probably care too so whatever you are going through don't go through it alone- And I hope you take this episode as actual evidence that even the very dark times can and WILL pass, often in just a few eggy months. After which you will not recognise what your brain was bowling at you when it was poorly. If I can do it, so can you baby.


    Going to put the tune at the end up on it's own and maybe a couple of others if that is of interest as wee bonus bits.


    Also the 'Childs Game' conversation from Matt's pod is coming later as a cheery Brucie Bonus after this more serious episode.


    Big love

    Lady Maam'alade


    PS - I have uploaded a photo of the symptoms 'diary' I made as I tried to get through the month I was told was still to go with major withdrawal symptoms- It really helped being able tick it off every night without having to remember it all again. I just picked up the pad at teatime and ticked or crossed how the last day had been until after a month I could see I was sleeping and eating better and doing okay.

  • Miles 'Hate Speech' Chapman and the quandary of distasteful, substandard or offensive comedy

    Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart

    -------------------

    Hello lovely sods

    For the first time since Stupid Hearts Club went free I am talking to regular guest and fellow silly sod, comedy man and star of 'Lee and Dean', Miles Chapman.


    Full disclosure for newbies, in the course of our friendship, Miles and I have weekly horrible nicknames for each other and this week I decided to call him 'Hate Speech', this ended up being foreshadowing as we ended up discussing how to deal with the spectre of comedy you find distasteful, substandard or offensive. Something that has a different weight to it when you work in 'the industry'. Hope you find it an interesting chat.


    Some of the audio in this episode might be a bit erratic (and there is even a jumpscare quite early on) and you should all know that that is 100% Miles's fault. At least he can cook.


    Enjoy

    Ma'am

  • Matt Morgan and the Creeping Horror of Frozen Baked Potatoes

    Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart

    -------------------

    Hello darlings-

    After a bit of diary-glitching Matt and I managed to record a second part to the chat we had on his lovely podcast last week. Thank you for waiting. I am going to hit you with the next episode earlier than usual and try and catch up a bit. Hopefully talking to Miles Chapman tomorrow eve.

    Anyway this is a lovely chat and we both laughed a lot as we meandered through cute territory like our kids lyrics, the horror of frozen baked potatoes and a brush with Matt's terrifying sounding neighbour.

    The BIG news however is that there is a substantial CHILDS GAAAME update at the end- Hang in there kids.

    WIll put the photos of some of the Facebook blandness tmro when I get the chance.

    BTW - Apologies for any echoey bits/glitches. I tried REALLY hard to sort them out. Also, I am aware I need a new pop-shield solution as my plosive habit has not really got any better. Will review my mic situation asap-

    Thank you, love you'se

  • Josh Pugh

    Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart

    -------------------

    This week I am joined by a BRAND NEW GUEST comedian and resident of somewhere quite near Coventry, Josh Pugh. You will see that Josh is starting to pop up on TV shows here and there and he is a formidable live stand up act. He is soon touring his 2022 Edinburgh show 'Sausage, Egg, Josh Pugh, Chips and Beans'. Check him the hell out.

    We worked together earlier in the year and his Insta really makes me laugh, here we perform the working class background version of trying to talk about geopolitical events and I patronizingly come across all Obi Wan, warning a fully grown man with a busier diary than me, all about the perils of showbiz. He takes it very generously. I do hope he pops into the old folks home now and then in his Jag, to let me know how he is doing before signing some autographs and leaving with one of the carers phone numbers.


    Enjoy-

    Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart

    -------------------

    Friend of the show Mark 'the gentleman with the gentle mouth' O'Sullivan joins me this week to talk a load of old bollocks about my tiny house, Athena posters and expanding our minds via the wisdom of Alan Watts, a man (now deceased) who's lectures are on a podcast I heartily recommend but not yet, listen to this first. Hey come back!

  • Pathetic inter-male bullying with Miles Chapman

    Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart

    -------------------

    Dear oh dear, I would suggest you might like to have a bath after this one as for the second week running I attempt to take the skin off a vile comedy relationship with a male friend in one long, ugly piece. Of course, I'm talking about Miles Chapman/Rug/Pig/Milk Flakes

    After a bit of sexy talk we devour each other and nobody comes out of it looking great. All I can say is thank god his daughter turns up.

    Next time we'll keep to Beige and silly talk as I think too much vile introspection could get boring and self indulgent (imagine).

    Funny though. Anyway, let me know what you lot think about my 'announcement' at the beginning.

    Love you

    Ma'am
