Reel Diaspora

Why Cambridge? Well, dear avid listener (of other podcasts) you will have to play this show to find out. It's our version of Jack Nicholson being told 'Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown' In this episode we break from normal proceedings and yammer on about standup comedy in general and our own personal failures in performing live. This one is worth listening to for any budding comics who want to get into comedy and feel the fear of standing up on stage.

Normal service will resume next episode

The Show Notes ——>>>>

There is no episode 13 of JTT. Why? Because Sands is a slave to mild stereotypical superstitions so we will bypass this unlucky number and really screw up the running order for future generations https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/23266/13-reasons-people-think-number-13-unlucky

We need to mention Michael Winslow who did the silly sound effects in Police Academy. He has made a cottage industry based on this one unique talent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Winslow

Any of the non Londoners (which seems to be our core audience) hear the mention of a standup venue The Lions’s Den should check out this link https://www.lionsdencomedy.co.uk/
Run by Tim Rendle who sadly passed away in 2018, it has been the showcase of a lot of comics who used the night to test their material in a friendly atmosphere. It’s still going and when reopened check it out. The place should have a Blue Plaque

Michael J Fox was excellent in Secret of my Success. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093936/

Big Respect to Vis the Spoon who’s anarchic and brilliant East London club night many moons ago showcased the non-start of Sands Stand-Up career. Listen to the podcast to understand. Vis’s website is here —>> https://www.visthespoon.com/

Spike Milligan browned up… what can go wrong? Well check out (or not) the completely incorrect Curry and Chips tv series https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry_and_Chips

For our American podcast listeners we mentioned the British 70’s tv series The Sweeney. Imagine a grittier more politically incorrect version of Starsky and Hutch… then you get the idea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sweeney

Another stunning fact about Dennis Waterman
In 1960, Denis Waterman began his film career, appearing as Ted Lewis in ‘Night Train for Inverness' and as Mickey Donovan in 'Snowball'. Also in the same year, he gave voiceover in ‘Ali and the Camel’ and appeared in two small roles for Royal Shakespeare Company.

In this episode, Kit (the ADH-DJ) and Sands break down comedy in Lockdown mode where some are successful and others are less than successful in delivering content. One thing you will be aware is that EVERYONE IS UNPREPARED to host shows without an audience to feed off but they are doing their best.

Everyone should wear Covid masks as you NEED TO DO YOUR DUTY. Below is a link to the CDC guidelines. You know, the one that The President of the Free World ignores.

Now that we are all isolated do not get DVT. Follow the below guidelines and definitely move around if you are drinking 20 hours a day or playing Fortnite.

There is no evidence that 50 Cent is oing to star in Knees Up Mother***ker Brown. Follow him on Instagram anyway. He is cool, you are not.

It looks like the planet has forgotten Martin Bashir and after that notorious Michael Jackson Doc you can relive his C.V here.

If you are interested in the sound effects app that Kit used it is this, Farrago and you can download it here. It’s hours of fun.

If you want to see remote comedies just type into YouTube John Oliver, Seth Meyers or Jimmy Kimmell and see how best they are adjusting.

At the time of this recording it was Al Pacino’s birthday and we salute him. And Also Frankie Howerd.

We realised that there is a much better Just the Tip podcast so you can listen to how more prepared people do their show.

Welcome to another episode of Just The Tip. Face it, your ears will bleed after this mini epic podcast and wide ranging chit chat on things. Also we are within our remit of turning life woes into life wins and LOOK WHAT WE HAVE! Special guest star Colin Clarke: The People’s Poet and Darius from Stoke. In fairness as long as this podcast is it’s a damn sight shorter than ant Tim Ferris Chat-a-thon.


Shownotes

https://www.buzzfeed.com/jamiejones/bizarre-eastenders-storylines
Sands mentioned an Eastenders plot line he watched through an old woman’s window but to specifically target that one would immediately date the podcast so above is the link for all you short attention spanned buzzed reading freaks on the most bonkers plot lines ever.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5SJwBFF1lg
Kit played the song featuring the line ‘Lucy eat cheese/ Josie like fish’ but we couldn’t find any link to that song on the inter web (we even tried the dark web to no avail) so instead here is a link to micro pugilist Filipino action star Weng Weng taking on a bunch of fully heighted people. Also this guy was in the Guinness Book of Records as the shortest lead actor in the world. Mel Gibson came second place.

https://www.filmstories.co.uk
We mentioned Film Stories which is an amazing podcast run by Simon Brew and a must for every cinephile. Each episode is a breakdown on the development, production and release of two films. Effortlessly entertaining and you definitely will learn more from this podcast than ours.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh5f-_I1df4&t=68s
The amazing, funny and brilliantly performed Big Train Hall and Oats sketch where they walk around a housing estate keeping the peace.

http://fuzzydice.co.uk/2020/04/29/podcasting-shownotes-ep-11/
It took us 10 episodes to get our sh*t together but finally we created a running order in the same vein as Lorraine Kelly’s show, GMB and pretty much EVERY SHOW EVER MADE. Still it’s always good to learn new things, right? Here is picture evidence! The Mary Kondo of organising paper stuff.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ
Joe Wicks workout which is an amazing resource for people stuck at home. This man has done more with 1 video than Boris Johnson has with every article he has written… combined.

Sit back crack open an ale and absorb the legend that is Chas and Dave.

https://soundcloud.com/chris-johnstone-2/josie-likes-fish
Actually the song is here the legendary classic and clearly brilliantly bonkers Josie likes Fish. Put your rave pants on and dance like a clown.

What can we say? We made it to 10! Double digits .... as any good gynaecologist will recommend!
In this episode we have two special letters from two special people who are in need of our help. Colin Clarke: A Socially awkward but talented social poet and Darius from Stoke who can only speak in rhymes. Both of them embody all of us in their insular attitude in public spaces. We do our best to help them and the surprises can only be described as elementary.

To deviate from the idle chatter we have experimented with the model of amateur djing to mix up the whole podcast environment. It's..... interesting.

Onto the show notes contained in this episode

Chris Tarrant did indeed live in his car for a number of years. To be consistent with our podcast we say car but in actual fact it was a van. read it here-->>https://www.driving.co.uk/news/interview/mamm/motor-chris-tarrant-reels-cars-small-carry-fishing-gear/

We also reference a TV Series called Minder (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minder_(TV_series)) starring Dennis Waterman. For any non UK listeners this was must see tv in the 70's and 80's as everything else was rubbish... apart from Only Fools and Horses which we also use the theme tune for with pride https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Only_Fools_and_Horses . In fact the theme tune could be used for Donald Trump's campaign seeing as no decent artist wants their music tied with him.

Finally you can email us if you have a niche issue that you need us to help you with here: JTT[at]fuzzydice.co.uk

Lastly and this has nothing to do with the podcast at all but we love that a micro pugilist Filipino actor became a huge action star called Weng Weng https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weng_Weng
Put his name in YouTube and sit back and enjoy the mayhem and lack of political correctness

After a brief respite from each other Kit and Sands are back on the air doing another sterling job turning life work into life wins.

Sands decides to try another angle to hit the US market by using an (allegedly) American accent to help sell the concept to the networks.

Kit counters with the Hugh Grant smooth voice to help bring together the transatlantic partnership. Reagan and Gorbachev would be proud considering 50% of that partnership is dead.

Also listen out for the poetry interlude about a man's journey through the underground.

You will be underwhelmed but warm hearted

If you have some life woes and want to contact Kit and Sands to for advice you can email us on [email protected]

Kit is in L.A. finding himself and while on a beach in Santa Monica speaks to his future self to find his true purpose in life. A small break from Sands is what the doctor ordered.

Now you're thinking he is reenacting a scene from Inception https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inception
but Kit has truly done a Rod Serling and jumped time and space to interview the only person that loves him. His parents barely make the top 5.

This is probably the best self on self timewarp interview you will have heard in your entire life. Can Jonathan Ross achieve this? Can Graham Norton summon the spirit of the future?

Just the Tip Episode 7: The Celebrity Lush Episode

After the (non) success of getting either relatively dead or incredibly niche guests on the show we decided to try again. As a replacement to Kit being away for this episode the JTT crew drafted the only man who can relate to the drunk, disorderly and the warrior poets in all of us who have strayed from the narrow path of righteousness

Now, let’s say you actually want to watch the famous play about Mr Bernard starring Peter O’ Toole… well here is the entire thing on YouTube.

Just the Tip Episode 6: Live and Let Live Not Live
As Carlsberg would never say… Probably the most inept podcast ever made. Kit and Sands turn their own life Wins into Life Woes while entertaining some pretty eccentric guests. Who else can get an eclectic list like James Mason, Frankie Howerd (and yes millennials! It is spelled that way), Bob Geldof and Tony Montana from Scarface. A Ribald time is had by all trying to help the helpless.

Actually it all falls apart as it always does. Listen. Or don’t listen. I would recommend anything else on iTunes

The Show Notes

Don’t let the fact that James Mason has been dead since 1984. He was happy to be on our show

Good things come to those who talk cobblers for a living. It seems like Just the Tip has gone HashTag Nextlevel Join Kit and Sands as they try to unpack their issues turning their own life wins into life woes.
