INTRO – THE MICK & DAVE LOAD OF BOLLOCKS SHOW

“Right then… here we go…”

“This is The Mick and Dave ‘Load of Bollocks’ Show — the only podcast where the plaster’s rough, the language is worse… and the facts are questionable at best.”

“Coming up — we’ve got quizzes, we’ve got stories from site, we’ve got absolute nonsense… and somewhere in the middle of it all… a few actual answers.”

“So whether you’re on the trowel, in the van, or hiding from the gaffer…”

“Stick the kettle on… or crack a beer…”

“Because this… is The Mick and Dave Show — and it’s about to go completely off the rails.”

“Let’s get into it…”

This week on The Plasterers Podcast — The Mick & Dave Show, we’re talking about the Master Plasterers Award and what it really means to earn it.

This isn’t about certificates handed out for turning up — this is about recognition that’s built over years on the tools.

Mick and Dave break down what the award represents, the standards behind it, and the level of skill, consistency, and experience needed to reach that level in the trade.

They share their own journeys, what separates a good plasterer from a master, and why respect in this game is earned — not given.

There’s real talk about graft, pride in your work, and the responsibility that comes with being recognised at the top of your trade.

No shortcuts. No handouts. Just proper plastering at the highest level.
