Alright Toasters?
Today, comedian Alistair Barrie allows Tom Price to have a serious (and quite funny) Amazon delve and dig out a wide variety of stupid, sad, funny, random topics including:
A detailed account of a sophisticated scam that cost Alistair £200. John Bishop dealing with a muddy fan at the Comedy Store The weirdest way to deal with birds
And more!
Our chat reflects on the intersection of personal challenges, professional life, and the nuances of raising neurodiverse children, all with a (fairly) comedic and often pretty sweary twist.
Enjoy!
Next week - Glenn Moore!

Hello Toasters and welcome round the porch of one Kevin Eldon, whose post we'll be going through this week in order to nosily find out every last thing about him. It's an honour to catch up with Kev, who is genuinely one of the best comedy actors in the UK. He's also one of the last ones standing, but that's by the by. He's really funny which really helps with interview format. Along the way we'll discuss The Beatles, Buddhism and just how much he loves Shakin' Stevens and most importantly WHY he loves Shakin' Stevens (it's not a Christmas thing, believe it or not). Anyway enjoy the episode and don't forget to find us on all your socials. AND guys we've also got a substack that no-one's reading so maybe drop in there if you fancy? ok cheers all see you next week for Toasted!
TOASTED: Caravans, Crap Musicians & The British Abroad What happens when you discover you’re just… not very good at something? This week, Tom and Beth discuss the hobbies we should probably have abandoned years ago, including the brutal question of whether some of us simply have no musical ability whatsoever. Elsewhere, we get into the peculiar British obsession with caravanning, the reality of running an Airbnb, and why white vinegar appears to have become the answer to virtually every domestic problem known to humankind. Plus: what gives you away as British when you’re abroad? Is it the apologising? The queuing? The sunburn? Or simply being unable to order a coffee without somehow making the whole interaction awkward? Another rummage through the stuff we buy, the things we do, and the minor domestic nonsense that somehow takes over our lives. Got a story, recommendation, terrible purchase or something you think Tom and Beth need to discuss? 📧 [email protected] Here are some of the items mentioned on the show today: RESISTANCE BANDS ARE AMAZING! PRESS UPS WITHOUT WRIST PAIN! IAN MOORE WRITES AMAZING BOOKS!
