This week on Who Remembers Spangles? we’re counting down the Top 5 Weirdly-Formed Bands — the acts that came together for reasons so bizarre you couldn’t make them up.

Cartoon supergroups created out of spite, parody pop duos who accidentally became massive, bands born from 9/11 trauma, art-school whims, and teens forming a group purely to blag their way into bars.

Plus: how Johnny Marr joined Modest Mouse after one surreal cold call… and a peek at the future of music when AI bands start forming themselves.

Fast, funny, nerdy — get stuck in. 🎧

Tonight on Who Remembers Spangles?, in an episode powered entirely by things people said that get on your tits a bit, Steve and Pablo seize control of the airwaves.

First up: a disturbing report claims brown sauce has been “improved,” immediately qualifying as things people said that get on your tits a bit if you’ve ever eaten a breakfast in Norfolk.

We then cross live to the Eggs ’n’ Gammon situation — a scene so chaotic even the fry-up itself muttered things people said that get on your tits a bit.

Traffic news brings us the now-infamous red-light incident: witnesses say the exchange included several classic things people said that get on your tits a bit, including “you could’ve gone there…”

Meanwhile, a curry at Indian Palace results in both hosts producing low-level groans generally categorised under things people said that get on your tits a bit.

In cultural developments, the Partridge Plate resurfaces without warning — prompting Steve to deliver a definitive things people said that get on your tits a bit sigh.

Pablo’s digital hearing aid misfires next, emitting the electronic equivalent of things people said that get on your tits a bit, then doubling down with a sarcastic beep.

Finally, we reach the Top 5 — a forensic investigation into, yes, things people said that get on your tits a bit — the phrases, the tones, the passive-aggressive horrors. You will be uncomfortable. You will be exposed. You will absolutely recognise yourself.

Listen now — or you’ll be today years old when you realise this episode is wall-to-wall things people said that get on your tits a bit.

Paul teams up with the brilliantly unfiltered Justin Panks for a full-throttle nostalgia ramble through the things we used to miss — and the things we still miss — when we come back from holiday abroad.

They kick off with the Top 5 Things You Used to Miss About the UK:

proper cups of tea, telly you recognised (Knight Rider! No Scorchio!), getting your photos developed, handing out crap souvenir ashtrays, and smuggling home duty-free like you were in The Bill.

Then it’s Top 5 Things You Miss Now:

a pint of bitter with pork scratchings, a lukewarm steak bake, the holy trinity of Indian/Chinese/Chippy, asking Alexa stupid questions, and the eternal battle with hotel toaster conveyor belts that burn your bread and your soul.

It’s nostalgic, chaotic and very, very Spangles.

Hit play and relive the joy of coming home — past and present.

With Pablo soaking up the sun in Thailand and Scott still haunted by his own unforgettable trip there, the lads raise a glass to the great and the good of glorious inebriation.

From Oliver Reed and George Best to Johnny Vegas, Gazza, and even Rylan Clark, they debate who truly deserves a place in history’s hall of heroic hangovers. 🍻

And just when things start to get blurry, Scott drops the full, stomach-turning tale of his Bangkok bathroom disaster — a story so grim it could curdle a Chang beer. 💩✈️

This week, Pablo goes full mad scientist with special guest Steve Feltham Pye, as they dive into the weird world of tech, science, and stuff we definitely don’t understand. From laminated eyebrows and the mystery of Bonnie Blue, to AI uprisings and deepfake nightmares — nothing’s off-limits.

🤖 Expect:

– Robots with trust issues

– Conspiracy theories with dodgy Wi-Fi

– A glimpse into a future that’s both fascinating and terrifying

🎧 It’s the Tech & Science Special — where curiosity meets chaos, and Pablo pretends to know what he’s talking about.

From Vegas jumpsuits to boxing rings,

We’re talking legends — the Comeback Kings!

Elvis in leather, shaking hips divine,

Ali in the jungle, still in his prime.

Travolta’s dance from has-been to fame,

Glitter’s odd comeback (we won’t say his name),

David Icke from Wogan’s sting,

To “cult” status — a curious thing!

Now in the present, who takes the crown?

Oasis still scrapping, yet selling out towns.

Rick Astley went from cheesy to cool,

Take That rule arenas like kings of the school.

And Peter Kay? Well, don’t be daft —

From sofa recluse to full-on laughs.

So grab your beer, and pull up a seat,

It’s Who Remembers Spangles? — retro and sweet!

This week we sit down with comedian, actor and quiz master Christian Steel.

We cover a lot of ground — from grief and trauma to the ways he’s overcome them — and we’re grateful for his honesty throughout. Expect more gear changes than Richard & Judy (who do, in fact, get a mention… particularly Judy’s infamous “boob boob”).

Christian’s dad is a well-known figure in the North, so that comes up too, along with plenty of stories that show just how much he’s been through. We only scratched the surface here, but hopefully we’ve done him justice.
