Is it cold in here?
In the 46th Collings & Herrin Podcast, we fight off the cold of Richard's house by shouting at the tops of our voices about: how good Adam and Joe are (no, really, they are very, very good, much better than us on literally every level, you should subscribe to their podcast now, if you haven't already), how the pilot of the United Airlines flight that landed in the Hudson River should be rewarded for saving the lives of 155 people, whether or not Prince Harry is an idiot, whether it's socially acceptable to grow a Hitler moustache in this day and age [see: pictorial experiment - I think we know the answer], and how the third runway at Heathrow will actually be good for the environment. Did we mention how good Adam and Joe are?

Adam and Joe are Very good. but you're not so bad yourself.
I thought Herring was doing an impression of a lion doing an impression of Hitler. His hair looks all golden.

That moustache is strangely befitting, Andrew...
had richard removed his moustache, you could have been sparks
Befitting? You mean I am like Hitler in other ways? (We did both go to art school, I'll give you that.)
If you google "dark otters are swarming" including the quotes it comes up with a link to a book by Neal Asher called Gridlinked:

You should definitely do a show every day when you're in Edinburgh without fear as to the quality of the podcast; empirically they may proved to be terrible shows but relatively speaking that's still quite good for the fringe.
I've been listening to the early shows - why has Richard become so shouty - he's a bad influence.
a bit of factomation: "the dark otters are swarming" is from 'Gridlinked'
not much bumming in it, however
I haven't listened to the podcast yet but upon seeing that photo I almost wet myself, I literally cannot wait to hear the conversation that would lead upto such an act. Absolute Genius.
ps. Andrew, you do quite scarily look like hitler, Richard seems somewhat unimpressed though :)
You know Andrew, you do look just like John Sessions playing a Hitler-esque 1970s games teacher (which I expect he has done at some time). As Natassia said it does quite suit you.
Richard is wrong about christmas trees - any CO2 which a tree has collected over its lifetime is released (eventually) when it is cut down.

the podcast is just the start isnt it, herr collings?

I don't know why I just can't seem to like Adam and Joe. I know I should (and I've tried) perhaps they lack a little anarchy in their soul. Incidentally I haven't heard this week's podcast yet so maybe you will convince me.
Hey Andrew!
Fantastic news, woken up to find a new podcast! I shall be flying along the treadmill now and chuckling to myself to the distress of the other gym attendees.
My favourite podcasts I regulary listen to are yours and Adam and Joe's and to be honest they complement each other perfectly, you cannot compare the two. They are both extremely original and great in very different ways. I wouldn't have one over the other, so give yourselves a pat on the back!
Thank you for the podcast guys!
Matthew Phillips
P.S I know i shouldn't expect the podcast to run time memoriam, but when you said you wouldn't be here next year on one of the christmas poddies, I was full of sadness, just become an institution now.
Did you see Jon Gaunts column y'day? First time I've ever read it, and he is a scary individual and totally predicatble isn't he!? Old ground I know
Best Wishes, Matthew Phillips
You should listen to the She & Him album to review your view of Zooey Deschanel's singing voice. Try "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" as a good starter- I think it's wonderful. Here's a link to Hype Machine for you...

Alternatively, you and Rich could write and star in a new sitcom playing the sons of Blakey from off of On The Buses.
In fact there could be a whole family and you could call it Blakey's Seven.
It's got to be better than Life of Riley.
you daft racists
Scary resemblance Andrew.
That was definitely one of the funnier podcasts so far. I can't be alone in thinking that most of the best stuff usually comes from the bits where you both discuss the papers.
Andrew that is the photo sorted for the local news to use when you die.
Dave.
If they ever remake Triumph of the Will you might want to desaturate this picture, crop Herr Herring out of it, pop a swastika in the background and send it to the casting director.
Alternatively, it might be the look you want to adopt when they ask you to be a talking head on 'I love 1939'.
Adams and Joe's radio adverts "Hmmn Sausage and mash" annoys the bug out of me. This stops me from thinking they are better than you.
I love the Adam & Joe podcast and I've been downloading it from the start but I went off it a bit a couple of months ago, I think I got kind of sick of it, I don't think the quality went down just that I'd had too much. I've always preferred yours since it started though.
A super-topical daily Edinburgh show based around the papers would work, I think: morning slot, cheapish ticket. Oh yes.
Just don't wear the (admittedly brilliant) Hitler European Tour 1939-1945 T shirt with it...
Now if only we could castrate the guy who named his kid Adolf Hitler.
accourding to Word magazine, a copyright dispute between an un nammed party ans messers lee and herring has kept On the hour off of CD for CD, next time you see Richrd, tell him thanks for getting it sorted.

Whilst at a first glance Andrew might look more Hitler-esque (note: homeopathy was invented in Germany... coincidence? hmmm?) if you cover up the longer bits of Richard's hair over his shoulder and just leave the fringe he looks scarily like old Adolf.
Scary.
LOL! I Love 1939!
Andrew I wanted to tell you that you're in my list of quotes on facebook, from your 6 music show...
"Richard Herring, going off again with his complicated morals"
It's a great summing-up of his act, and it always makes me smile.
I am also an Adam and Joe fan but I too prefer your podcast by an admittedly slim but important margin. I laughed so much on the way to work today listening to the Sooty discussion that I really was embarrassed but at the same time didn't care.
PS as a female heterosexual listener, my input into the 3-some "would you" query is well only in my dreams really, eg Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp, say - I couldn't for real I don't think! (Anyway I suspect Richard doesn't care either way he just keeps bringing up the conversation til he gets an offer ;-)
On the trees front there has been a lot of discussion about the "benefit" of carbon offsetting because of this simplistic description of how trees work which I give to you now.
Trees breathe in oxygen and breathe out Carbon Dioxide just like we do.
Also trees, as it were, eat Carbon Dioxide by cooking it with light which turns it into their food. Releasing oxygen from the Carbon Dioxide as they do this.
When trees are young they have little or no leaves but they have lots of breathing to do as they grow big and strong. They are building up their very own carbon footprint. But after a while they start to grow leaves and over time they offset their own carbon footprint by eating it.
So in short (too late) trees are net producers of carbon in their early years, and net consumers of carbon in their later years. But if you simply grow and cut down the trees before they have had a chance to repay their debt then they are likely net producers of carbon. My guess is that Christmas trees fall into this area.
In answer to the "do heterosexual women get turned on by man-on-man action?" posed in your podcast, I have many heterosexual female friends that get soggy gussets from reading/thinking about slash (the genre, not the guitarist).
Hi, Richard is right.
I'm another het woman listener and yes, we like man on man action. Personally, I'd also like to see my own bloke getting it on with another man. Sometimes I think half the traffic on the internet is slash fiction (google it and all will be revealed).
