Not sure if it was the backlash over his Katie Price material, a fear that his future income would be massively impacted or he didn’t like the public’s general opinion of him. Nakedly cynical attempt to not have his career rightly crash and burn in flames for being an obnoxious abelist sexist p***k. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennie makevin Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Anyone who doesn't like 'Lily The Pink' should be made to listen to the horror that is 'Get It On with Bryan Burnett' in perpetuity. Same for those who'd dare mock 'Winchester Cathedral' , 'England Swings' and 'Judy In Disguise (With Glasses)' to name but three. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they had Debbie McGhee on at a live event or something following on from this.

Ha - that was around "which player's agent"/"which players' agent" with Cosgrove quite rightly enquiring where the apostrophe went to denote whether Tam was looking for the name of the player or the name of the agent. Complete meltdown by Cosgrove mainly caused by Tam not understanding the point and doubling down. They got an English grammar academic or something from GU to call in and I don't think she quite understood Cosgrove's (rather valid) point either tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRocketman II Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 My take on OTB is that I happily listen to it on delay (during the week in bed when trying to sleep which I do with all podcasts). It could be better, it could be fresher, but its like a comfy pair of slippers I suppose. Biggest gripe is that both of them clearly have their favoured parts - Cosgrove loves the "on this day" segment and Cowan loves the "team of the week" segment. And this extends to all the weekly format sections where at the expense of chatting about something interesting with the guest, or if the guest says something that is revelatory that cries out for a follow-up question (in my view anyway), they will immediately cut away to one of their favoured segments. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the worst trait they both have. They never just let the guest talk. It's amazing how often the guest is cut off when saying something interesting and it's never returned to or followed up on. The St Johnstone-supporting actor they had on a few weeks ago (and seem to quite often) was actually cut off mid-story by Cowan the other week while talking about a phone call he'd had from a St Johnstone official about the Rangers ticket backlash. Arguably the biggest story they were covering that week and the guest had inside information, and Cowan cut him off! In fairness, Cosgrove brought it back round a few minutes later, but that's all-too-rare and occurrence. It actually had me shouting 'fucking shut up!' at my radio.

Quatermass Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 The old classic of watching the St Johnstone results on TV whilst standing ootside an electrical shop when he stayed down South given an airing from Cosgrove there. An auld classic. Am I imagining it or was there a thing where someone used to hit the stopwatch at the start of the show to see how long it took for both St Johnstone and Motherwell to be mentioned? Mere seconds just about every time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
