Gink

In the second of our live, daily podcasts from the Underbelly in Edinburgh, we find out how many A-Levels our audience have got, discuss Scottish nationalism in relation to the Australian soap opera Neighbours, ponder the implications of the "hermathlete", wonder what's on this weekend in Stirlingshire, check out the Guardian's lastest wallchart, look into the ethics of wing-walking, and wonder if the opera director Stewart Lee really will turn up as a special guest for Friday's podcast (clue: no he won't). We remain sponsored by Profanity App, which provides amusing insults for Richard throughout the podcast, and devoted to drumming up business for the local Tempting Tattie. And here, once again, is a photo of some of the better - worst - qualified members of the audience. (And thanks to MissWiz, who took the photo above.)

Ah, and here's a pic taken by Sali of me outside the Tempting Tattie. It's been a hole lot of fun so far. (I'll review some of the others shows I've seen tomorrow - now I am off out to see another one.)

Andrew,

You're sweating like Stan Collymore in a car park!

Yeah, what's the deal with that...?

marred slightly by Richards rudeness at the girl with not as good alevels and asking them to shout their names then rubbing it in that he got 3A's and a B at alevel and showing off about his oxford degree. very rarely Herrin's extreme humour steps over to become cruel and quite unfunny and these occassions have me wondering is he actually not as nice as I thought he was?
I think he might be exhausted from his show Andrew definately talked more in this one. I hope C&H don't fall out and have a big argument but sometimes I fear it may be heading that way. We dont want another Wham situation.

You look like Number 2 outside of the Tattie!

Be seeing you!

A "hole" lot of fun?

Did Richard finally get his wish?!

I'm really really enjoying these - your live ones always seem to flow a lot better. By the way, I've just checked and you are now 77th on the Swedish comedy podcast charts - that's 11 places ahead of Adam & Joe. You are pipped to 76th place by 'Världens Sämsta Podcast' (The World's Worst Podcast).

Incidentally, no.1 is 'Sommar', a summer series of broadcasts on the state broadcaster where guests prattle on for an hour daily, like a sort of Desert Island Discs. It's rarely funny.

@Karl, yeah I did feel quite bad for that girl. It may be podcast Richard Herrin, but she's not podcast Andrew Collings. Still... why did I not feel bad for the guy with no exams? That's right, because I'm a massive sexist...

p.s. today I intend to twitpic from the left of the stage. Tomorrow possibly from the ceiling?

Go for it, Gordon.

I haven't listened back to this one yet, but didn't the girl in the front row volunteer her A-Level results?

I don't think she was offended. I hope not.

Great news about our Swedish success, Jason.

Andrew, are you bringing a dog today? You could borrow it for an hour from Hannover Street, and I'm sure the CD sales you'd get would be worth it. Also, I'd bring a sachet of Cesar.

Listening now. I hear Richard boasting about his 2:1 from Oxford.

As I understand it he doesn't have a degree since he didn't go to his graduation.

He's a graduand, rather than a graduate.

Might be worth reminding him of this Andrew.

Andrew has the better lines in this one.

listening back to it, maybe I over-reacted Rich only breifly showed off at 25 mins and was clearly joking as he sounded quite modest before that. Funny how the same thing can be interpreted so differently by the same person, maybe it is touchy subject for me as I messed up all my exams. I don't want to be too critical as I am a big fan of the podcast and am very grateful to listen to them every week, and every day at the moment.

I enjoyed this one and would also nominate Collins for the MVP. Kept the thing moving quite nicely. Hurry up and get the inevitable civil partnership you two so we can have daily podcasts every week... :)

Very slow at listening to there, maybe it's a Scottish thing with elephants. The local paper in Aberdeen had last week this

and used the elephant over the drugs.
