Welcome along to our edition of the Dom Pod, the podcast presented by myself. Sorry, Don't know. I haven't introduced you yet. Don't speak till I've introduced you. Sorry. You got that? Sorry.

Yeah. All right, welcome along. It's the podcast where I talk to one of my different celebrity pals every week. This week, my special guest, he's a retired celebrity, Mr. Bobbaw. Hello, Bob. You can speak now. Okay, thank you. Hello.

Dom, thanks for having us. Are you well? Yeah, I think so. Good. Good, good, continue. Bob, do you ever wonder about the future of mankind? No, not really. I mean, I worry a bit about AI and that, but not really.

What's that then? Artificial intelligence. I don't know you think about that. Can you explain that further? How's that work? Come on. It's supposed to be a conversation. You know, the idea, Dom, that the computers will take over the world

and they won't have any need for humans, so they'll destroy us. That sounds ridiculous. Who's going to present consumer programs on Dwork Night BVC1 if the bloody robots is running everything? A robot? A robot dumb. Nah, you don't go to happen. Forget that, pal.

I'm going to change the subject. Do you ever go and view houses? It's for sale when you've got no intention to buy it in them? Nope. Just for something to do? No, I never do that. Oh, you should? It's really good. I'd do it, right?

But I pretend that I'm alien. But in human form, and the estate agent's got no idea what's going. on. It's a good power play. I love it. You never tried it. Do you tell the estate agent you're an alien? No, I just imagine myself being an alien.

Yeah, sound shit. I've assumed human form when I'm acting like a human, but the fella doesn't know I'm actually an alien. Plus, I don't want to buy the ass. It's great. If it gets you through the viewing, you know, well done, Dom. You should give it a try. I'm reading

in Thursday afternoons, I'll tell you. that. I've just got to stop for them out here for doing a sponsorship thing. Hold on a moment. This podcast is brought with you in association with egg and chips. Ooh, heggen chips. Right, we're back now.

Oh, I had got no more questions, sorry. I thought that was, I thought I should have put that in a bit earlier. No, I just got to think about the houses and the mankind thing. Do you want to tell me more about artificial intelligence? Well, it's the developer Stephen Hawkins thinks they might take over the world

in about 2035 so it's not that long. Bloody no. I can see they might do it in F1. Driverless cars in F1. That will be some. Maybe the drivers would be controlling them with a little them remote control things with the two sticks. One for forwards and one for side to side on the side of the track.

I don't think. its presence in F1 is the problem. It's the fact that we might all die, you know, there'd be no human, no need for humans. But you're more worried about F1, yeah? I think we can both agree, that we hope AI enhances F1, but it doesn't lead to the end of civilization as we know it.

Can we agree on that? Okay, I'll be able to that. Yeah, I'd agree on that, yeah. Well, thank you very much for joining me on the Dunport again, Bob Wulmer, and I worry that! I've just been a guest, Andy, on Dom Littlewood's podcast. Oh, that, yeah?

Yeah, it's a good podcast. Yeah, he, uh, he, um, did an advert for egg and chips. Oh, Jesus Christ. He was wondering about whether, um, artificial intelligence might start taking over the F1. Yeah, it sounds better than our podcast. Hello, and welcome a log to the Dompod with me, Dominic Littlewood, Britain's top podcast with my celebrity friends every week and this week my celebrity guest is none other than TV fisherman

Bob MoMA. All right, Dom. Welcome along, Bob Mova. Thanks very much. We're just going to have a little casual chat. There's nothing for you to worry about. There's no traps or anything like that. First of all, Bob, whereabouts on the bed?

Do you have the open side of the duvet, you know, that's got the press studs on? Do you have it down the bottom of it? a bed? Yeah, I keep it down the bottom. Don't want it against my chin and that, you know. I have mine at the top, so I can install stuff in it, you know, like a book. Or if I have a sandwich in bed and I don't finish it, I'll just pop it in the open bit,

so you for later. Oh, no bad idea, that, Dom. Yeah, a difference of opinion from this there, but that's okay. That's what life's all about, in it? Now, here's a little segment I like to call Dom's Tip. It's a little tip you might want to try. Bob, if you run out of milk and you make you in a cup of tea, just water down some custard, and it works just as well.

Is that true, though, Dom? You know, is it actually true? That's very true. You could try that yourself later on. Well, I don't think it's going to work, Don, but I will try it if you said it works, I'll give it a go. You try it. You bloody will try it, mate.

Report back with your findings next time. Could you use cheese if you melt the cheese? No, it's got to be something with some kind of liquidity consistency. Cheese is now good unless you want to like melted first. But even then it's still too thick. You try to recreate milk, crying out loud. A lovely summer's evening. Strouding along, me and my gal on a lovely summer's evening.

That's the song I've been working, though. What do you think about it, Bob, Bob. I thought it was beautiful. It honestly, it mesmerised me, yeah. It took me down the country lane, summer evening's lovely. Yeah. I might do some more work on that. I just got to stop at this moment

because we've got to do a little sponsor advert thing for this part of the podcast. This podcast is brought to you in association with red sauce. Red sauce is so versatile. Put it on your sausages or maybe just have it raw at the palm of your hand. Red sauce. There we go.

And now, well, one more topic of conversation we got. What's your brain? a third size of pickled onion. Big? Oh, I smell. I like the little ones so I can put it all in my mouth, you know, without having to get messy biting into it. How many pickled onions can you fit in your mouth in one go? Well, the little ones, I could probably get about eating.

But eight, all about the big ones. Big ones. Well, I'd only put one of them in, you know what I mean? It's a lot of juices. Would you regard one big one as a choking hazard? Yeah, maybe, maybe. Yeah. Does your wife have any say in how many pickled onions?

you put in your mouth and one go. None whatsoever. That's my business. Or are you your own man? I'm my own man, though. Honestly, when it comes to onions and cheese, I'm my own man. All right. I believe you.

I mean, I'm on the fence on that one. I haven't got an opinion on that. About a pickle onions, so I just thought I'd throw it in. That's it from the Dompod for this week. We'll be back with another episode. Next week when my special guest will be Joe Swash. Thank you very much. Bye-bye.

I'd just done the Dom podcast, Andy. He's quite good. He'd written a nice little song. Oh, right, really? I hope he continues with it. Really beautiful little song. Hello, hey, welcome with Lug 2. I have we up a show on the Dom Pod.

With me, Do You Do Wee, Little Wood? My special guest today on the podcast, I'll get it again. It's Mr. Bob-Bow. Hello, Bob-Bul-Ware. All right, Dom. I believe you've got a book out. Do you want to plug that before we start? No, I'm not that bothered, really.

All right, good. move on then. I've been watching your TV show. Do you want to plug that as well before we move on? Yeah, the fishing one. Words on on Sundays, Dom. Thanks for mentioning it. Anyway, I've been watching that. I've got one question about that.

Have you ever caught a duck by mistake? Then I destroyed a film. No, we never caught a duck. No, just fish. But just fish, yeah. All right. Could I come on the show one time? No, thank you.

Don, it's okay. I'll be no bother. I'll just go on the river back across the other side and just walk along. No, it's all right. You don't even know I'm there. No, no thanks, Dom. I'll drive myself there.

No expenses required. Just 10 seconds on screen, that's all I want. Yeah, we've finished filming them now, Dom, so... Maybe I could sit in a tree, somebody like that. No, it's honest, it's okay. Oh, moving on. I've got to do a little advert at this point. Hold on a moment.

This podcast has brought you in association with Cushing Hand. The best payment method there is. Cushing and. There we go. What else we go to? Bob, have you got a favourite month every year? I like the month that we're in now September.

Yeah, what is that? Yeah, you get a bit of surprise sunshine, you know, and it's not too hot, not too cold, I like it, like it a lot. That's your favourite, is it? Yeah, I reckon. I ain't got one. I'm on the fence when it comes to favourite months, I'm above it. Okay, okay.

I like them all equally. Have you ever owned a silk scarf? Ooh, I've had some silk socks once, I remember, but no, I've never had a silk scarf. No, me neither. I was just thinking of getting one. I saw if you could recommend them. I can't.

Well, give it a go, though. Don't hold back. I might see if I can get one where I can take it back if I don't like it. Yeah, that's about all we go time for this week. All right, thanks. been enjoyable. Thanks very much for joining me. Thanks for having us, Dom. Hello, and welcome along to the Dom Pod

Christmas with me, Dono Willie Littlewood. My special guest on my podcast today is TV fishermen and National Treasure. Mr. Bo-Bu-Wa. Welcome along. Thanks for having me, Dom. Thanks for having me, Dom. Thanks for joining me at this time. Have you won a nice Christmas? Yeah, not too bad, thanks.

Did you get any nice gifts, you know what I mentioned? My best gift was some new shoes, my dude's shoes what I wear off my son, that was nice. Got some thermal leg-in sort of things. And can I just said, I got a turkey crown instead of a turkey this year, and I'm pretty pleased with it. Just enough was there, no left over's, yeah. Enough for a sandwiches the next day, yeah.

That's all you need, really. Did you get a pickling kit? No, no pickling kit. No? Oh, I sent you a pickling kit. Oh, it didn't come down, so I was... Oh, right. Oh, I was going to hopefully talk to you about the pickling kit

and what you'd been pickling. If you had a pickling kit, what would you pickle in it? Well, I'd probably start with onions. Onions? There's not a few original, is it? It's a whole world. I said I'd start with them. It's a wide and vibrant galaxy.

There's so many things you can pickle, you can pickle rhubarb, washrooms, bell peppers, you can probably even pickle cress. I don't know. Well, I don't know either. I'd never come, has it? Well, maybe you can buy one, and then next time we can talk about what you've been pickling. I'll wait till the else comes, Dom. Oh, just move on.

What else can we talk about? Do you think there's any shame in an old man buying shoes in a child size? In a what's that, child? Oh man, no, I'm not going to ridicule people for having little feet. You're good, because there's crossover sizes where it's more economically viable to buy the child size, like three or four. You know what I mean? Yeah.

There's no shame that, though, is there? What size of your feet, Tom? Never mind about my feet. I'm asking for a friend. Anyway, I've got to do a little advert break at this point, so I'll be back in a moment. This podcast is brought to you in association with the UK Pickling Federation. Oh, I see. Well, back there for the second half of the podcast.

Bob Mover, reverse parking, yes or no? If you can do it, yes. If you can't, you know, if you're a bit dodgy, don't bother. Where do you do it? No, I don't. I'm shit at it. No, well, I think it's hard for some drivers, but once you've mastered it, it's hard to go back, I think.

It's a skill you can take you forever. Do you believe in adult business? booster seating cars for little drivers. Do you have one? I do. I did have one for a while, yeah. Yeah? Okay.

One more thing I'd like to talk about. Blank moved in next door, a couple of weeks ago. Within two days, he's got himself one of them video dogbells. Yeah. What do you think that's all about it? Well, they're all the rage, aren't they? Yeah, about two days after he's moved in. You know, do you make it some kind of power play?

Well, there There is that, yeah It's like my stuff's worth Nicking, yours, obviously, isn't? Yeah, you're putting down a marker, isn't he? Early doors. What you're going to do?

Put glue on it or something. I'm not fast. I'm not fussed. The wife's up in the office about it, but I'm not bothering. I'm on the fence on that one to be caught with you. Well, it's been very nice chatting

with you, Bob. And hopefully next time we can have a pickling update once your pickling kit arrives. If it doesn't, we just fucking go buy one for me and they just use that, yeah? All right.

We'll do, Tom. Thank you very much. Bumwa, goodbye. How are we? Welcome to the Dompod with me, Dominic Littlewood from Daytime BBC One. My guest, this week is not about that BBC 2 celebrity with the Bumulma. Oh, there, Bob Wur. Thanks for joining me again today. We're just going to have a little chat about this and that, you know,

chew the fat over a few issues and what have you. But pancake day, Carrier, I don't know if you've been talking about that with anybody recently. Do you still observe pancake day, well? Yeah, I'll try to have six. I try to have half a dozen on pancake.

You do? Yeah. A lot of people say it's got a big commercialised these days. I don't know. I don't think. I mean, they do, they give prominence to the lemon, Giff lemons in the supermarket and that, but not really. I ain't got an opinion on it.

I'm on the fence when it comes to the pancake day. Before we go any further, I must mention this. I need to take a moment to say a few words about my new book that's coming out. It's part memoir, part personal blueprint for a better way of life. It's called Dominic Littlewood, Tinned Fruit and Jogging. And it's available in all good bookshops now. Go ahead and buy a copy. I'll be very happy indeed.

Okay, back on the podcast. Before we go, I've got a little game show format that I've been working on. But Mova, I like to run by you. Maybe you'll be interested in being a team captain on it. Who knows? Here we go. It's called The Fog. Okay, The Fog.

And here's how it works. The Fog. Two teams, each of them inside a great big sealed egg. And they take turns answering general knowledge questions. And each time they get one wrong, we release a foul-smelling veiled. into their egg. When they can't take any more,

that's when the game is over. The fog. But they have to say these exact words whenever enough. All right, they've got to say, please hear us, Mr. Dom, we beg and beg and beg, switch off that horrible fog

and release us from this egg. What do you reckon? I think it's strong. Would you be in it? Yeah. I'd like to do a pilot. Well, I'm not sure whether to change the opening of the egg. Oh, maybe the fog egg.

I don't know. What do you think? What, you're not sure what to call it? Well, it was the fog originally, but now I think about it, maybe the fog egg might be better. The egg of fog? Egg of fog. See, that's good.

I like that. I love that, that's all right. You can have that, Dom. Thank you very much for joining me on the Dub Pod. As always, bum, boom, bye. Maybe we'll get you on again next time. Maybe we won't. We'll see.

Thanks a Dom. Goodbye. See ya. Hello, I'm Dominic Littlewood. Hi, Dom. Welcome along. I didn't introduce you yet. Don't speak. Sorry.

Wait your turn. Welcome along to what I'm now calling the Dominic Little Pod due to legal reasons that I can't go into, but all I say is that I refuse to be silenced. Right. My guest today is a former TV. personally and fishermen bumblebar. Hello there, Bobbomber. Welcome along.

Hi there, Dom. Thanks for having us. To do you don't want to eat little pod. Did you also used to be a weatherman, Bob? No, I don't know. No? Not me. No? Do you? Sure? Yeah, sure. I'm confusing you with someone also.

Maybe you're not the guest I thought I was booking. Never mind. We'll crack on. I've got some notes here. You've got a new book coming out, Bob. Yeah. Give it a little plug. It's a novel called the Satsuma Complex. Yeah? It's about bloke who meets a lass.

So that's all right, isn't it? Well, I mean, I'll read your last one. No offence, but I could have done better. And if anybody wants to read the one I've done in 2009, it's called Don't Get Done, Get Dumb. Great ways to stretch your money, not your budget. And it's on Amazon for 60s to... pens.

As we're both authors, Bob, I thought that's something we could discuss on the podcast today. Do you use a pencil or a pen or a typewriter? I use a laptop, Dom, you know? Like, I suppose you call them computers. Oh, a computer?

Yeah. Do you print it out yourself and hand it into the publisher, or do you just send it by email? I send it by the email, Tom. Right. Because what I do, do you? mine in 2009, I printed it out

myself. And I didn't realize you could just send it in for the email, said that. But I didn't read on the internet recently, you could make your own printer ink out of vegetable, oil, and shut. Yeah? So, I don't know how true that is, though.

Ah, what else we got here? Have you ever tried writing with your foot instead of your hand? I have, tried that, Dom, yeah. I've done it as well. It's a bleak nightmare, isn't it? It's a nightmare, absolute nightmare, yeah. Yeah, it's good to try that, just to see. That's what I think.

It is good to try, just to see, yeah. It's like that question, why bother? Well, you know, just to see. Yeah, I wasn't privy to that, because this is a different part of the podcast. Okay. Would you describe your wife as being giggly? Um, no.

Do you know, do you mean like bubbly giggly? Yeah. Te-he-he and all that. No, she's more guffoy. I don't know. Oh, all right, okay. Mine is. Mine is very giggly.

Very giggly. Yeah. Don't worry too much about that question. That's a special question. And I ask that to every guest who comes on the podcast. Good question.

Very good question. Compiling a database. Yeah. Giggly wives. Gigly lasses. Yeah, if you like, I think that's about here for the podcast this time.

Thank you very much for joining me, Boom. It's a great. It's a great. It's a pleasure. It really has, Don. Thank you. He's very small, Dom, you know.

Very small. Compact. Compact man, yeah. I'm thinking maybe 5-2, something like that. Mm-hmm. So there you go. That's nothing wrong with that, you know. Yeah, I'm doing it.

He functions adequately, I think. Yeah. My name is Dorrit Littlewood. I welcome along to the Dominic Little Pud. They, of course, was recently changed because of legal reasons. I'm not happy about it, but what could you do? So, it's the Doolic Little Pud. Little pod by name, massive pod by nature.

That's my new slogan. Very good, Don't speak yet. Sorry. I introduce you. My special guest on this week's episode is one of Britain's leading fiction authors. Mr. Bob Mulmore. Hello, Dom. Thanks for having us.

Thanks for having us. I read some of your new book. Yeah. Yeah. Onwards. What? You fancy yourself as what, Richard Osmond or so, do you? Well, I hope it's a bit different from Richard Osmond's, you know, to a little bit different, but yeah, I suppose.

Did you find it easy to write the book? Excellent question, Dom. Yeah, not too bad. It took us about four months. Yeah, that comes across, actually, yeah. Anyway, all the podcast, it's not about you, it's about me. Bob, it's a new feature, which I'm calling the nation's favourite Davis. Do you have a favourite Davis, Bob?

For example, Steve Davis, why Davis from the Kings? Or Davis loved a third, the golfer? When I was going to say... You could know it at your own favourite Davis if you have one. I was going to say Ray Davies, Don, but you've like pulled the rug out from under my ass, you know? Yeah.

Another Davies. Can't think of one. Sorry, Dom. Yeah, well, Davies is what Ray is. He's a Davies and not a Davis. So I suppose we have to disqualify that. Well, you said it. Well, it was just off the top of the end, wouldn't it?

Anyway, I'm on the fence with that one. I ain't got one. You got any thoughts about immigration? No, have you done? No, not really. Jesus, do you think he's ever going to come back? I think the chances are slim, Don, but I ain't going to discount it. Yeah.

I think you'd come back, but he'll come back as a smaller man than last time. Right. More condensed in body mass. Yeah, a bit more like you're right. Well, maybe, yeah. Now you can't have mentioned it. Yeah, I'd thought about that. Final question for you this time, Red Bob.

Let's just example, do a bit of role play. For example, if you're having a bowl of cereal, e.g. Frosties. Right. They're my favourite. Mine too. Oh, good. And you pour some milk on, There's not enough milk left in the bottle.

Yeah. And you open a new bottle of milk. Would you then mix the milk with the original milk, or would you just abandon the whole thing? Well, I can't see the point of abandoning it, Dom. You've got some milk in your hand. Yeah, but it's cross-contamination, though, in it, Bob? Well, I don't reckon.

Do you know what I do, Dom? You know, the milk that you get these days isn't very creamy. So I put a bit of cream in the bottom of my bowl. Then I put the milk. stir it and then I had the frosties so I'm a contaminator anyway that doesn't sound very good for your heart to be fair

to be fair you're probably right but it is delicious what a cereal Dom what a series what can you do? Sometimes you've got to follow your compulsions don't you? You know the heart wants what it wants and that I think is the message

from this episode of the Dominic Little Ponds thank you very much for listening Thanks for joining me. Bo Bo-Bu-Wah. Hey, good boy. Good episode, that one, Andy. Did you hear it, Dom's podcast? I just caught a bit where he said that your book was a bit undercooked.

He was talking about cream. Or we were talking about cream. And it made me wonder, where do you enter the cream thickness sort of table? Are you like a whipping cream man, a single cream, a double cream, a clotted cream? You know, where's your sweet spot? I mean, as you can imagine from looking at me,

I enjoy cream in all of its forms. I particularly enjoy a double cream in pouring form. You don't go as far as the clotting, the actual sort of stiff one. I don't mind it. I'll have it on a scone, you know, some jam. It depends on the occasion. Like if there's a bowl of strawberries,

it'll be double cream poured on. Yeah. But you can get that, what's it called, elm leaves, I don't think it's actual cream. Oh, fuck it, it's not cream. It's made of butter or something. Is it? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. My name is Dornic Littlewood. Well, I'm a long to an episode of the Dominic Little Pard. And today, my special guest, well, it's a last minute replacement. It was going to be Ron Darlington, the occasional star of Holmes under the hammer, but he's at the castle at the last minute.

So I've got one of Britain's top water-based comedians and authors, Bob Boomer. Hi, hello. Thanks for having us again. Thanks for coming along. some subjects for you. Before we start, something I want to just tee up at the beginning, I've got a rubber band in my hand. Oh nice. Do you think is it a thin one or is it a thick one?

I think it's a really thin one. Oh, we'll find out at the end. That's something to keep listening for, isn't it? Bob, would you describe yourself as a cool customer? Yeah, in most circumstances, Dom, I get a bit, um, I don't like, um, I don't like, um, You know, some things. Yeah? You get a bit agitated and aggravated by some things, but generally... Yeah. You know?

Quite like back on the hole, yeah? I tell you what it is, Dom, mainly. It's dealing with call centres. I had a bit of a problem with one of the broadband supplies and, oh, man. You know the thing, Dom. Yeah. It's... Yeah, that gets me very agitated.

I didn't want you to go into any specifics, but that's just... Sorry. Yeah, all right. But you would on the whole... I'll say you're a cool customer, yeah. I reckon. Yes, I put that there. When you're on the internet,

are you a single clicker or do you double click? I don't, why would I double? I don't know what you mean. Well, if you're clicking on Sammy, do you just click once or do you double click? I think I do a bit of both, Tom. All right.

You know, so I think you're right, actually, if I'm really keen to see something, I think I do give it two clicks. I was going to say, I think you should always double-click just to be on the safe side. Maybe you're right. Yeah. I was listening to a podcast the other day and there was a rumor about you.

Yeah. They said that you've had a section of one of Britain's rivers cut out and put it in the bottom of your garden. Is that true? No, that's not true, Dom. I think that would be a... They said they had like drone footage of it and it's a self-flowing river. It still flows even though to be cut out of another river and put in your garden. No, that's bullse.

shit. Oh, you've got a mechanism in it that makes it flow? No, I wouldn't know how to start. You can't steal parts of rivers. I mean, you might be able to steal the very end of it, I suppose. The very tip of it. I put that down as I don't know. I do know that I haven't stolen a river dome.

You say that, but I'm not convinced because they said there was drone footage, so, you know. I'll stick with don't know on that one. I've been doing some workbook with a charity for short men who've triumphed in life against all the odds. Yeah. And I just want to give a shout out to Michael Ettrick.

His loveless marriage ended in 2008, but he's recently become engaged to a woman who is nine years younger than him who hails from the former Yugoslavia. And Michael is five foot one and a half. Well done, Michael. So there we go, I thought I'd give him a shout at. I think that's about it for this episode.

It's been really good. Dom, thanks. The rubber band, you were right, it was a thin one. It is a thin one, in it? I can see that, no, John. It is a thin one. Very well spotted. I've got a little song.

I want to end the episode if I've got my guitar here. And it's the song which I call The State of the Nation. Okay. Here we go. No buses to town after 7pm. Marmalade cost in a five or a jar. Lonely men crowd fund to buy off the shave. Some can't afford a second car.

This is the state of the nation. Exma going untreated. Sadness statistics gone through the roof. What the hell is happening to us. My brother-in-law had to sell his gold terns. This is the state The absolute state The state of the bleeding nation

I will always have time for you Here we go That's my son And it's the end of the Dominic Little Pod Thank you very much for listening goodbye Good time Did you hear that Andy? No

I was just out putting my rubber bands in order from fat to thin. It's Dom John's, what's he called? Dom Littlewood. Dom Littlewood. Yeah. Did his podcast, he often asks us on, and he did a little song at the end about Mount...

Oh, he started doing songs, has he? Oh, my God.
