Greetings, listener dear, I'm Tom.
I'm Ben.
And I am Matthew and welcome to an episode.
You're very excited about it.
Of course you are.
You're all chomping at the bit.
I don't know what I did there.
Are you all right?
What's wrong?
I'm Ben.
I liked it.
I thought it was good.
I really, I thought, you know, the thing is it was increasing levels of energy.
Well, actually it wasn't.
It was like a sort of a hillock in that Tom started, you know, like he warmed
us up.
A low rumble.
A low rumble from Tom.
Then a nice high peak from Ben.
And it's all downhill from here.
I'm Matthew.
Welcome to Flatshare Slamdown.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
This is a corker of an episode.
And it's hot off the press.
We only recorded this last week.
Wow.
It's one of our flagship episodes,
which means we're at the start of yet another month.
And this one, so this is where we do a live.
Are you telling people that it's, is this our way of announcing that's October?
I feel like that's one of our main jobs, I think, is to mark the seasons.
With a pinch, punch of podcasts.
Back in the day, we'd just have a bell and we'd walk around and go,
autumn now.
And then...
Yeah, that was lovely.
People would be happy with that.
Obviously, we've evolved.
now we can be much more.
We used to have a bell, now we have a ball,
and you'll have a ball listening to this fantastic episode
with two wonderful guests.
We've got Andrew Maxwell, our dear old mucker
from back in the day, Andrew Maxwell,
absolutely wonderful, and Erica Eeler as well.
I would say two very different energies.
Enjoy the yin and the yang, I'd say.
Absolutely.
Enjoy the yin and the yank.
Two ends of the spectrum,
and that's what's wonderful about comedy,
There you is. We're all on the, we're all on the spectrum. We're all on the old TEDx at the moment.
And, yeah, really, but it, this is, this was a lot of fun recorded at our beloved Phoenix in London.
We can tell you now that the next flat chestland, if you'd like to come along, is at the cheerful, earful comedy festival on the 14th of October.
That is just two weeks time. It's so soon. You would think we would have two guests, but, you know, we've got a few, few text messages out.
out there that have definitely been seen.
Those, like, I know, I recognize the telltale two blue ticks, but, uh, but we'll, we'll get,
we'll get some guests for that.
Don't you worry about that?
And if not, it is our Halloween special, so we'll just say it's two ghosts.
A ghost of James Acasters here.
Well, I could ask Acaster to come back.
I could do you.
But, yeah, so that's going to be happening on the, on the 13th of October at the cheerful,
earful comedy festival at the Bedford Pub in Ballam.
Again, a wonderful pub, a fine pub. It's in South London, obviously very close to us geographically, or some of us anyway, and very close to our hearts, all of us. And, I mean, it's never, it's never close to you, Perry. I mean, it's always, Parry's floated the idea of what do? Do you want to do flagship Sunday in Exeter? And we're like, nah. Every month.

into this, shall we? Yes. Because
as everybody knows,
it means one thing.
It's autumn.
Tom, Ben.
What is it, Matthew?
Yeah, what is it, my little cherub?
Well, let me tell you now, our electricity bills
are sky high.
One of you two needs to install
a solar panel. Either one really
big one or 7,000 solar
powered calculators. Either way.
Well, the funny thing is, actually, Matthew,
I used to hate those solar power calculators.
Was it because you couldn't say?
It's a bit early in the show for this to be your...
They were terrible.
They always just used to get my maths wrong.
It's not bad, actually.
Larky, who's the little cherub now?
What about you, Tom?
It's not going to be, Matthew.
I prefer wind power.
I love wind power.
But not as much as my neighbour who loves it so much,
She generates her own.
She's a massive fan.
Who's that for?
Who's that for?
Oh, everybody here.
And the people listening at home.
She's a massive fan.
It's not bad, actually.
Now you think about it, Tom.
You've convinced yourself.
Yeah, actually.
You've walked yourself around to your own humour.
Yeah.
He's a massive fan.
He's a massive fan.
It's a massive fan joke.
Well, there's only one way to settle this.
We're going to have to have a Flashers Sandown.
Hello and we're not the world.
Flat share it with our main.
Flat share slam down.
Flat share slam down.
Hello and welcome to Flat Share Slam Down,
the panel show that says,
Now I'm not the world's most passionate guy,
but when she squeezed me tide,
she almost broke my spine.
Her name was Sola.
S-O-L-A-R.
I'm the host of Landlords,
Matthew Crosby.
Let's meet two guys with boundless energy
who light up my life every single week.
It's Tom Perry and Benedict Claus.
Hi, hoi.
Now, you cannot install the solar solo.
Who have you brought with you this week
to tell us which bit is the roof, Tom?
Well, Matthew, the jamboree is in danger.
No.
But don't worry.
I've brought my most renewable friend.
It's Erica Riella, everybody.
What's up?
What's up, Erica?
What's up?
What's it?
We're renewing the catchphrase.
What's it?
That's how I answered the phone to my dad.
Really?
Yeah.
He's never said,
well,
he's never said,
well, he's back.
It's going to happen.
One day, dad's.
And then we'll move on to I love you.
You've got to take baby steps, Erica.
So anyway,
it turns out that's what's up.
But,
Erica,
what kind of a person are you to live with?
So I think I'm a good roommate.
Because I will advocate for others.
A big beef in the house here I live in is one of our roommates doesn't want to turn on the heat during the winter, which I think is crazy.
I think it's nuts.
It's also bad for the house.
But like the other one is a little bit of a pushover, so I have to be the one who talks for both of us.
And I'll do it.
I don't mind being the bad guy.
You're a bad cop, bad cop.
You're bad cop to silent cop.
Yeah.
And why does this person have so much sway over the house?
Like surely if someone says we're not turning the heating on and it's winter and it's cold,
it doesn't really matter.
You just turn it on.
So we do do that.
We do turn it on.
But the thermostat is right outside his room.
So if he sees that it's on, he flicks it off.
He also was in the house first.
So there's this false sense of ownership around it.
Even though we play some random dudes mortgage, none of us own this, you know?
Yeah.
And is he, like, does he make any concessions to the fact it's absolutely free?
Like, is he going around in like 15 dressing gowns, you know, or is he, is he just like an insulated dude?
Yeah, is he like one of those people who's, you know, like someone from the north, someone from the northeast.
Well, I think, I think it's, I think women are typically colder and we, we, both me and her are on the second floor.
And I think our windows are worse.
And he lives on the first floor where it's a bit warmer.
And he's a dude.
So I think he's, I think he just is a warm guy.
By the way, this is a science podcast now.
Yeah.
Port to you by three warm guys.
Very warm guys and a cold lady.
It's great to have you on the show.
Wait, so he's tall.
He's not tall.
He's up above everybody.
He's rising.
That's your...
So it should rise.
Yeah, it should rise.
But our windows are older, whereas he has newer windows.
So the heat, the cold doesn't go in from outside.
So he's like, why do these bitches have the heat on?
When we're freezing upstairs.
If he's using the B words, then...
Well, he's not.
I paraphrase.
But you know what?
That's my kind of advocacy.
Okay.
Finally, we're talking my language.
Well, Erica Ela is here.
Big round of Ports for Erica.
Yes.
Clark are your goddamn bitch.
Who you brought?
I bought my dodgiest uncle.
It's a June Axler!
Oh, yes.
Andrew Maxwell, great to have you on the show.
Well, it's a delight to be here.
It's a total delight to have you.
How warm are you at the moment?
Physically?
Yeah.
Yeah, good.
I'd say we're sitting in around 22 in here.
Yeah, and how warm are you emotionally?
Emotionally, I am a human furnace.
Yeah, you are, actually.
That's true.
Oh, sorry, I just dig my digger there.
I'm absolutely raring to share my love at all times.
I don't think that's the same thing Andrew
And what kind of person are you to live with
Who are you living with?
I live with a wife and four children
Four! Is it your wife?
Yes.
Yes, for now, for now.
But these things are all, you know what I mean?
So, all up in the air and, you know, it's the 90s now,
anything could happen.
But as far as am I good to live with,
that's irrelevant.
And that's what you tell them every single day.
Because they're complaining about the temperature.
You're like, listen, this is all irrelevant stuff.
I'm here.
Well, more importantly, most of my, you know, housemates are my children.
Sure.
So if they've got any problem with it, like, I can just neglect them.
There's always abuse.
No, no, neglect, not abuse.
Slow, slow burning.
This there could be any visible.
you know, there's nothing that can be written up
on a form.
Talk us through it. What's your favourite form of
like mild neglects you're doing on your kids?
I don't know. Come on, what are you doing? What are you doing?
No, I don't know. You don't want to give you any secrets away.
No, no. I forced my children to watch
rugby with me.
That's not all day there. That is abuse, actually.
That's technically a bit of years. It's more
importantly, during the lockdown years
where I made even more Maxwell's.
I wanted to watch live Australian
Rugby League in the mornings
when my small children wanted to watch
television but instead of getting to watch kids shows they had to uh watch the rabbitos absolutely
fucking spank absolutely spank are we still we still talk about rugby whatever it takes to get through
lockdown i guess and how is that like how has that manifested now instead of watching mr tumble
they're watching the rabbitos are they hugely aggressive no they just they understand the tactics
of of rugby league they're just very young pundits now yeah they're just very young pundits now yeah there's
There's very small girls who unnecessarily know
who the ball should be spread out to.
Just get the ball out of, you know.
I mean, it's not like...
It sounds like they do more than you do.
Just get the ball out of, you know, out of my house.
Throw it around.
Spread the ball around.
Spread it around.
Well, thank you for spreading your ball around.
Flash, yes, Pandora tonight.
Andrew Maxwell's here.
So we have met our panel, but who is going to be installing the solo one?
Let's find out as we play round one.
When it's the summer powering your stuff with renewable?
It's July, so let's try, is it terrible?
No, it turns on, because it's powered by the sun.
Yes, it turns on. Solar power, you're the one.
Now it's December, middle of winter, and it's cold and dark.
I'm quite scared, feel unprepared, will it even still work?
Yes, it turns on, because it's powered by the sun.
Of course it turns on.
If you don't think renewable energy is the future, then you're a fucking idiot.
Beautiful stuff there from Tom and Ben.
This first round is called Do Ray, Me, Fast Solar Panel.
It's inspired by the song.
That's good stuff, actually.
On these, it's quiet by the soul for the sound of music.
I'm going to give each panelist the name of a musical.
They have to get their teammate to guess the name of that musical using only six syllables.
After each syllable, your teammate has a chance to guess.
The syllables can be a noise, a word, a note, a moan.
Don't make it a moan.
But it must be a single syllable.
If your teammate guesses it in one syllable, it's six points, two syllables, it's five points, etc., etc.
Down to one point for the full six syllables.
So make that first syllable count.
By the way, apologies to anyone who's playing the drink every time Matthew says the word syllable game.
Must be absolutely syllables.
Okay, we're going to start with you. Tom.
Yes.
Tom, here is your musical.
Now, Erica, you are trying to guess which musical.
Will it be cabaret or will it be cab for Tom Paray?
Spoiler.
Spoiler, it's not cabaret.
Okay.
So, Tom, you've got your musical there.
Okay.
Yeah.
you know it you recognize it yeah okay let's hear your first syllable please um okay so he's gone
that's not it that's not it there's a great there's a great hesitation here okay uh let that
be struck from the record yeah yeah that wasn't he don't yeah i'm going to allow that this time
but in future no more erroneous syllables okay that's two syllables
this is harder than it looks you know that's like that's about
15 syllables that one.
I'm going to go with
see
oh
wait
that came out badly
see
I'm really sorry
that's bad
okay
so would you like to
hear it again
or would you like to make a guess
all you need to know is
Tom wasn't happy with it
so I wouldn't necessarily
think too much about it
Erica any guesses
at this juncture
singing in the rain
I thought that might be
This isn't on you. I'm very sorry about that.
That's all right.
I thought I'd, you know.
Okay, next one.
Greece.
Oh.
It's not Greece.
Imagine.
There's a lot of syllables going on here.
So,
I've changed tack.
Let's hear your two syllables.
You've got C and grease.
Grease.
Because that is a great advert for Greece, really.
The phrase C, grease.
I didn't say promote a different musical
to the one that's written down there
I said in six syllables convey
the musical, okay?
Okay.
Any clues at this day, Erica?
Mama Mia.
Yes!
Oh!
Redemption.
Amazing.
Do you know what, Tom?
You were really lucky
you've got one good player on your team.
Explain the first bit
What was C?
I don't want to
Okay
So that's not how the game works
Tom
Explain the first bit
You don't get the point
It's supposed to be part of dancing queen
You don't think of
See the dancing
Quits
Yeah
See that girl
So see
I thought you're just gonna work your way through
That's not
Basically what you realise is
How short a syllable is
Yeah
Because I was like
See
Oh that's it
I think you meant
As in the Aegeans
Yeah that's
I think
The actual the C
That's not the Green Islander in.
I did, yeah.
That's, that's it.
Yes.
Because also the lyrics aren't
See the Dancing Queen.
We all know that, right?
Digging the Dancing Queen.
Oh, digging.
Yeah.
But that's,
crucially, it's two syllables.
She could have done it.
Why?
You start way too early at the chorus for that.
It starts at,
Frye.
See the dance.
Do you not see the dancing queen?
You see that girl,
you see that girl.
Watch that girl.
Watch that scene.
Digging the dance.
dancing in Greece
Greece
Grease
Eric and I
two syllables
Why is the
the Abba musical
set in Greece
and not in
Sweden
which fantasy
Stockholm has many many islands
A few oaks
and well that's Norway
that's Norway
And the Autobahn as well.
Anyway, let's move in along, guys.
We haven't got time all day to play this game.
Right.
Anyway, Maxwell, you're up next.
You're up next.
There's your musical, Ben.
Yes.
What is the show?
Will it be cabaret?
Will it be cab?
No way.
Spoiler, it's still not going to be cabaret.
Okay.
All right.
Now, there is your musical.
Andrew.
Can we hear your first syllable, please?
It's cross for C, everybody.
We're all hoping it's C.
Okay, that's not the syllable, I think.
This guy can really sing.
Ooh.
Beautiful.
It's really good.
Hauntling.
Yes, yeah.
I immediately think of the Phantom of the Opera.
Imagine.
There's someone to go, yeah.
I did it.
wrong. If that's what you got from that, then I've done it wrong. This will be my second
go with the same, yeah? Oh, you're going to do this. Oh, you're getting dangerly close to two
syllables there. So is that way, was that your second syllable or was that your first syllable
to second time? Yeah. I'm gone. Still, still counts as two goals. This is two goes. Okay, so
second go. Yeah, okay. Very fair. Mulligans. I've played, I'm
playing golf rules.
I got someone's played by some of the rules.
Do you think you're talking to one of your daughters?
They're rugby fans, not golf fans.
I'd never raise a golf daughter.
So you've got, you've got a couple of notes there.
Has that brought you any closer to the answer?
We can tell you now, you know, it's not Phantom of the Opera.
Ooh, ooh.
No.
Do you want to hazard a guess?
Mamma Mia?
It is Mamma Mia, guys.
I'm not even if I put mumma here for everyone.
You're ready for a third one?
Yes, please.
Oh.
It's good.
It's good.
Oh.
Yes.
That was the same one.
That's the same one.
Yeah, yeah.
Can you do the previous one before that as well?
So we get the full.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Wait a second.
The first one had changed again.
Ah, but this is like a fine wine.
Or an ordinary cheese.
Either way, they're all affected by time.
I would say you don't need to narrow that down to wine and cheese.
It's like most things are affected by time.
That's true.
Like all things.
Yeah, like love.
Oh, yeah.
But mostly wine and cheese.
Most of wine and cheese.
Most of wine and cheese.
I'm now thinking
was the crow a musical?
Oh
Brandon Lee
It wasn't a musical
And if it were
I don't think I would have picked it as one of
As one of the four for a guessing game
Feels very fringe
It does feel very fringe
It does it
The crow the musical no
Oh
Ah
Okay
Clarkie
I don't think it's right
but I'm going to go with the Wizard of Oz
It's not the Wizard of Oz
Let's have another syllable
You're on your fourth syllable
Oh fuck
Have you got any other syllables
Your fourth syllable
This is for three points Clarking
How are we on four
Because you did ooh
You should keep telling them
And he went
What else happens in it
There's just a mode of transport
That's all I remember
Was it?
I don't know
That's not too much of a giveaway.
Yeah, most musicals have modes of transporting.
Famously.
And it's not chitty, chitty bang back.
Oh, okay.
No, I'm fucked.
You could see it in his eyes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was definitely going chitty.
He had Van Dyke eyes.
They've gone full Van Dyke.
The B-side to Betty Davis eyes, isn't it?
Okay, that's stretching.
Okay, that's stretching, stretching syllable to
breaking point.
A lot of syllables.
Stretch a symbol
to breaking point,
but let's be real here.
She's playing against Clarkie.
So he's actually playing with Clarkie.
He's not even played against him,
but it feels like he's playing against Clarkie.
Does everyone know what it is?
Give us all three.
Give us all three.
Oh!
It's really good.
It's a locative.
Yeah.
It's really good.
Oh, I don't know.
I can tell that.
From the way you're looking off into
distance and sort of sweating yeah all right so my final syllable uh yeah go on that's
cool the final one you realize there's two syllables i think i think well i tell you i think you've got
two syllables left i think you've got four syllables so you've got two syllables left if you want to do two
at once i will give it yeah that's it let's hear it bowie labyrinth no not david bowie
I'll give you one final guess
and we'll throw it over as the other team.
Throw it over, man.
Do you know what it is?
Hell no.
Do you know what it is?
No.
Oh.
Do the audience know what it is?
No.
I've played a very different game in my head here.
It's just been I'm really good at this.
I'm really shit at this.
I'm afraid it's the latter.
Well, I can tell you now.
A whole new world.
Yeah.
That was the parriff.
The parallel.
Yeah.
Was Aladdin falling down the mountain of gold.
It can't be that.
Guys, if you didn't get that,
have a word with yourselves.
Right?
You know what he's betrayed
and he's thrown in underneath the cave?
You're not in the wrong here.
As it's been the case for your entire career,
you're right.
It's everyone else's wrong.
Thank you.
What was Bowie?
David Bowie had an album
called A Lad Insane
Oh,
Oh, mate.
What?
Okay.
Is it right?
I'm playing
Radio 4 rules
In front of 5 Live here.
Okay, well that's, we're going to move on from that game of, that game of six-dimensional chess that Maxwell was playing.
Erica, it's your turn.
Yeah, you've had, Maxwell, you've had your chance.
You could have literally said lamp.
Lamp.
I may have forgotten about the great, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the. And.
There was a lamp in it.
And the motor transport, by the way, was a flying car.
Of course, of course.
One of the classics.
Okay.
So, Erica, you've got your musical right there.
Now, Tom, you are guessing.
Will it be cabaret?
Or will it be cab?
Not today.
Spoiler, it's not cabaret.
Erica, your first syllable, please.
Oil.
Greece
Yup
That's how we do
Congratulations
You got six boys
You know
It's it's
It's very root one football
Isn't you?
You've got to pass it out
to the winking state
you instead of going right at the middle
It's a rainy, rainy Tuesday
in Stoke over here
Clarkie
Why do you just throw the ball in
and I'll nodded into the corner
Is that rugby league?
So Andrew
All you've got to do
is guess the musical
All right
Will it be cabaret
Or will it be dear Evan Hanson
Spoiler alert
Neither of those
Okay

That's positive.
We've all heard nay.
The horse, the story of the horse.
It's not the story of the horse.
Do you have any idea?
Eyes.
Eyes could be.
Well, look, they're the windows to the soul.
Is that a musical?
Could, should be.
Let's find out. Clarkie, is it the winner's to the soul?
No, it's not.
Sadly not. Do you want to give a second syllable for five points here to Andrew Maxwell?
God.
Bloody hell.
Oh, God.
Okay.
That's narrowed it down, not at all.
Sure.
Well, he's omnipresent.
He's in everything.
Like time.
He affects everything.
Yes.
He's omnipotent.
He's got so many nipples.
So he's omnipotent.
He's omnipotent.

but there's pickpocketing
to do.
That's true.
That's true.
If you think
I'm going to hand that
all off to the
fickle-fingered men
of Bucharest,
you can forget about it.
You've got to.
There's handbags to be pilfered.
There's watches to be...
Is it Oliver?
That's right.
To be a good pickpocket
you've got to be able to see.
It'd be a great fagin,
actually.
Oh, yeah.
What I would do with a committee of urchants.
Well, let's not go into that now.
Well, number one, you know,
so one of them have to take the minutes of the meeting.
I don't think they're actually, you know,
it's not like a murder of crows.
You're not a committee of urgence.
Of course, you'd have to do.
If only.
If I didn't think it form a sort of committee,
then maybe they'd do a bit less pickpocketing, you know?
Or a bit more efficiency.
That's true.
They have more monogrome chafes.
Right.
Eyes.
Yes.
Eyes touching.
Is it sweet Caroline?
Oh, bros.
Bro's God and eyes.
But he had his own musical, didn't he?
Neil Diamond had his own musical about his own fucking life.
Yeah, it's not again.
He sang his own.
he sang his own autobiography
the lunatic
it's not
it's not the crow
Neil Diamond
Diamond dogs
it's Aladdin
yes
we've done it
we've done it
all right
any idea
Clarkie
oh sorry
this is how long
this round has been going on for
no
any idea
Andrew
where we are
I'm gonna give us your last one
Okay, you've got more haven't you?
Yeah, close.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The audience has got in now.
Oh, yes!
Yes!
Aha!
Yeah.
Yes, absolutely.
Yes, go on.
Now the man who wrote this
had a massive issue with a poltergeist
in his house recently.
Did he now?
Andrew Lloyd Weber has a poltergeist in his house
that keeps moving his paperwork around.
Writing increasingly bad musical?
moving his paper and pen.
This is none other
than the Old Testament story
of Joseph
and his Technicolor Dreamcom.
Absolutely correct.
And isn't it nice to know
that Esau,
the fucking deceiving
son of a bitch,
got nothing.
Actually, no,
fuck Joseph.
He fucked over,
Esau.
Well,
Joseph was kind of,
he wasn't a great,
great guy was he jose if he was not he was capricious as they all were in the old testament
absolutely right well we'll chat more about this in the break um let's let's go to producer
quinn now at the end of that round producer quinn please in as many syllables as you like give us the
scores okay so tom and erika have 11 and ben and maxwell have three oh oh so tom
This is a rocket launch.
We're doing great.
Tom and Erica.
Yes, they are in the lead,
but that doesn't mean that, of course,
Ben and Maxwell have to say,
Solar, farewell,
Afita saying good night.
There's still everything to play for
when we return in part two.
See you in a bit.
Oh.
Welcome back to Flash Slamdown.
Yes.
Oh.
Now, before the break, correct me if I'm wrong, but it was Tom and it was Erica who were in the lead.
Is that right?
By quite a considerable margin.
The scores haven't...
I thought you'd forgotten our names then.
Correct.
I'm wrong, but it's Tom and Erica.
Is it Tom and Erica?
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
I was struggling to place you there, Tom, for a second.
But no, yes, it is Tom and Erica, of course.
And you guys are in the lead, and the scores haven't moved.
And there's still neither a solar panel nor 7,000 solar powered calculators on my roof.
At this rate, I will never achieve my dream.
of a roof that spells boobies
7,000 times
we better play round two
it's flat games
yeah
let's play together
games
let's play forever
roll the dice
spin that thing

games if you win you get
gold
oh go
read them a week
Richard Osmond
That's the Thursday murder club right there.
This week in flat games, we're playing our version of The Sims, which we're calling the hymns.
In the words of Clarkie, God.
You have to sing about a famous family to the tune of a classic Christian song.
One point for a correct guest, ten points for how deep.
we feel the spirit of the Lord
flowing through you. Let us pray
today. Let's start with Pope Benedict.
Start with you.
Thank you. Okay. Now,
you are kicking things off with Jerusalem,
a song that I'm sure you can all agree
is in no way problematic.
But Andrew, what famous family
has been singing about? Spoiler alert,
it's not the Netin' Yahoo's.
Pastor Gwynn...
It's too edgy from I like it.
It's too much for you, isn't it? It's too much.
It's too much. You're sweating over there.
Pastor Gwynn, show the congregation how you play with your organ.
They have a documentary about their bad lives.
They have a documentary about their bad lives.
They are a family, I believe.
I've never watched it personally.
But they all have surgery.
And they fight, and that's all I know.
But they also have businesses.
All about all makeup and clothes and stuff.
Wonderful.
Amen.
Amen.
And thank you, Gwyn.
Rousing.
It was rousing.
Rousing.
It was rousing.
That's when Christyanti was fucking Christianity.
Absolutely right.
When the Lord God could be found on the playing fields of England.
Yes, you're right.
Right?
They ask the question.
Because in many ways, who is Jesus?
Yeah.
He's the nimble scrum half.
Oh, God.
This is how you teach your daughters about Jesus, isn't it?
Oh, no.
That makes sense, actually.
At least you didn't say who's the hooker.
That's Mary Magdalene.
No, come on.
That is a great bit of Bible work.
Right there, guys.
It's a great thing.
bit of Bible work. You're very, very welcome. But Andrew, before I, before I ordain
Pope Benedict, what family was he singing about? Well, interesting. Interesting you should
say it because this, that's the game. The great connection to obviously the very first Christian
kingdom. Oh. Which was Armenia. Because this family is none other. System of a down.
I was just really, the other famous...
Oh yeah, sorry, sorry, yes, yes, yes.
The other famous Los Angeles, Armenian family,
they're Kardashians.
It was, of course, the Kardashians.
How many points we're going to give Clarkie for Jerusalem, though?
I think I'm going to give you...
You said seven?
Yeah, all right, fair enough.
Sure.
So certain over there.
Great.
It's fair.
Sure.
Sounds about right, mate.
Thank you very much.
Any of us on seven?
No, fair enough.
Seven.
Okay.
Next up, we've got Erica.
Erica, here is your, there you go.
Here is your hymn.
It's all things bright and beautiful.
Now, did you, Erica, did you sing this growing up?
No.
No, yeah.
We didn't do hymns in public school in Canada.
We just did, yeah, we were talking earlier.
or you just kind of do Christmas songs.
That's the only time we all sing.
But then because it's public school,
they have to catch a wide net
and not, like, you know, exclude anyone.
So we did draddle, dradle.
We did Kwanza songs,
which no one in our school actually celebrated Kwanza.
Great airline, though.
But, yeah.
So you're kind of going in blind
on all these bright and beautiful here, aren't you?
I listened to it like three times today,
and then I just felt too creepy,
listening to it alone in central London.
I was like, well, this can't,
this is going to fuck up my algorithm.
So I'm familiar with it enough,
but let's see if it retained.
Four times you get into heaven,
so it's worth it.
Oh, one more time?
So here we go.
All the things bright and beautiful,
but Tom, what famous family
is Erica singing about?
Youth Minister Gwynn, take us to church.
I work in waste management.
I'm from Jersey, Gabagool.
I also have anxiety, and that means me depth as a character.
You know, things are beautiful.
What else is this family?
I know the answer
and I'm really good.
There's a key detail
about his career.
He's a cool guy.
Lovely.
Thank you.
You're really sold by his cover story there.
He works in waste management.
That's about it.
Okay.
Fantastic for that career there.
It's literally.
we needed, Tom, what's the answer?
The Sopranos.
It's the correct answer.
And I'll tell you, I'll tell you what.
It should have been in a hierarchy.
That's another radio 4-1 for you.
That's an opera gag.
But what are we going to give you, Erica, for
for sort of religiosity?
I'm going to give you, I'll tell you what, who shouted out seven?
Who was that who shouted out seven?
gone awful quite
It's the most common number in the Bible
Seven
That's right
Very religious this episode
God seven isn't it?
It's a very religious episode now
Isn't it?
Yeah
I think well you know
There is money in it
We've got to move into the old
sort of right wing Christian grift
I think that's
That's very much
By the way we are selling amulets
That ward off evil spirits
After the show
Holy shit
I saw Russell Brown
selling these fucking amulets
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
800 euros
sorry 800 US dollars
the amulets are meant to protect you from
evil and airport Wi-Fi
8 and I thought
when I saw that 800
I thought
there's no way you're selling
them at such low low prices
where the fuck are you getting them from
Russell the ambulance warehouse
but what
Erica what am I going to give you
I'm going to give you I think I'm going to give you
8 out of 10.
8 out of 10 points.
For a truly religious experience.
Andrew Maxwell, you're up next.
You've got Morning Has Broken.
Clarkie, what famous family is Maxwell's voice breaking two?
Lay Peter Gwynne, get us laid.
Wait, sorry, sorry, rewind, rewind.
Sorry.
Rewind, select.
Okay, can we, can we get that?
Can we get that more?
Can we get a replay, please?
Thank you, Gwyn.
This family is famous from different genres, some from the world of music, some from football.
Four children, each named after places in America.
Both of them are stupid, but charming in their own Essex kind of way.
Their brand continues, and now they employ.
Lee and old messy
Andrew Maxwell
everybody
beautiful
absolutely gorgeous
so Clarkie
any idea what famous family
Andrew was singing about yeah
it's the Beckham's of course
so a point for that
and for religiosity
I'm going to give you nine points
absolutely gorgeous
Tom
yours
there you go that's yours that's your famous family there
if you've never been to a live show
the look of panic on Ben's face
for the first eight seconds and then relief
when he found the answer that is worth
a train ticket price alone
I love that
goodness man Tom you've got
amazing grace but well enough
of the compliments you've got
but you've also going to be singing amazing grace
Erica all you have to do is guess
the family what
what's that evangelical mega church
Pastor Gwynn, you and the boys want to set aside the fusty church organ and get a little closer to God on this one.
Well, I trust you almost as much as I trust the good Lord.
Let's hear what you've got up your pastor's sleeve.
It's very nice.
It's slow.
Oh, Bill, I'm away.
Well, they're pretty dark.
They live with lots of bats.
One's got a light bulb in his god.
And that's enough about that.
Amen.
One them, give them a big hand,
because a hand is all.
they are and two of them been married long time, but they've been married long time, but they've still got inspirational sexual chemistry.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, bye ma'am you listen to the door.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Holy Shemoli.
That was unbelievable.
Wow.
That was fantastic, Tom.
Beautiful.
We all got religion there.
But Erica, what is the family that Tom was singing about?
Is it the Adams family?
It's the Adams family!
I was so nervous
I was going to get wrong
after he did all of that.
I was like, get this right.
It absolutely was the Adams family.
Tom, I'm going to give you a full 10 out of 10.
It was gorgeous.
It was absolutely gorgeous.
Now, speaking of the good lord,
my old whist partner, Tupac Shakur, once said,
only God can judge me.
I'm not sure about that, Pac-Man.
You've clearly never been called
before the contemptuous call.
of the Beef Brothers.
Well, if you've got a problem,
don't call it a problem,
if you've got a problem,
call it a beef.
If you've got a beef,
maybe we can help you.
Beef Brothers sorting out your beef.
Yes, indeed, it's Beef Brothers,
where each week we ask our panellists
to sort out a flat share-based beef.
And today's one comes from
James. Hello.
We didn't do the scores.
Ah, it's all right.
Doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter, does it?
I think we know which teams in the lead.
yeah we know yeah it's what you'd expect yeah it's what you'd expect guys it's what you'd expect from
the three of us uh so yes it's beef brothers where each week we ask our panelists to sort out a flat share
based beef and today's one comes from james james are you there in the audience hello james how you
doing good well james writes the following in the friend group chat the flat share of communications
i like that i like that a lot my friend will not stop going on about how they're
horse viewings are going.
What?
Is that a typo?
No, because he's written it all in caps.
Won't stop going.
We'll not stop going about how their horse viewings are going.
They're going to buy a horse for themselves.
I really could not care less.
And it's a ridiculous choice for what to spend your money on.
Yeah.
Okay, so that's what's going on.
That's what's going on in James's,
his life.
I like the cut of his gym.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
It's like, oh, I don't know.
What's on a horse?
Well, hang on.
Before we start the cross-examination, let's tell you who side you're on.
Okay?
So, Ben and Andrew, you are on James's side.
Absolutely right.
Okay, you're on James' side.
Erica and Tom, you are on the side of the man and the horse.
Okay.
Time for a cross-examination.
The first question comes from Andrew Maxwell.
James, do you know the answer?
No.
No.
Just a horse to ride around.
I don't know.
Yeah.
A horse to run.
ride around? Where does your friend live? That's the problem. Cardiff. Cardiff.
Classic, classic horse riding territory.
It has got a wide high street. I'll say that much about Cardiff.
Just, just galloping from one abandoned mine to the next.
So you've got a friend in Cardiff, always going on about, oh, you can't chat too long on
the WhatsApp, I'm off to see another horse. Yeah. This is the, this is the, see, that's the problem.
horses shouldn't be you know
there's still proper horses
out there
that's the most Irish thing
I've heard
in about 10 years
it's too good
in that accent
proper horses out there
and I arrived on one
but these
these hobby horses can fuck off
oh yeah
well is now if James
if your friend was purchasing
a Shire horse
now that's the correct
way to bring coal
around the town.
You see,
Russell Brand sells amulets,
but Andrews still sells
Shire horses.
Don't come talking to me
unless you got it in gold
and cash.
Jewels, you know what I mean?
Filons.
As long as you got some brass
fillings, like,
we're going to shake hands
on this horse right now.
But they're a big old horse
or, you know what I mean?
Shire horse.
You better be ready to feed them.
Thanks.
You know what I mean?
So, like, how old is this friend, Judge?
Yeah, yeah, let's ask some questions.
Like, as in, do they go way back?
Have you known them for years?
Yeah, yeah, since uni, about 10 years ago.
And is this a horse, is this horse phase new?
No, this is like their lifetime dream.
They're horse people?
Yeah, horse person, yeah.
Are they, is this their first horse?
That they own, yeah.
They might have, like, ridden horses, a children, a child or whatever.
That doesn't count as a horse.
Yeah, I don't know if they.
the horse has, I don't heard,
I don't know if that is the kiss.
Did you know this person was a horse person?
When I started becoming friends.
In the stables, yes.
No.
How far into your friendship?
Because I think horse people identify themselves quite quickly.
I think, no, yeah, it was probably a few years.
Like, after we finished uni,
we were all sort of still living in London at the time.
And then they just brought up, oh, I've always wanted to own a horse.
Was it?
And then, yeah.
Just in a lulling conversation.
And then recently they've, yeah, come into it enough money through a trust fund to buy a horse.
Right.
So it was the day they left a house in a tweed hoodie.
Yeah.
Hey, I don't think this guy who's working in a smashburger restaurant needs to work here.
James, I've got to ask you, we're talking about a WhatsApp group here.
Yeah, it's a friend.
A friend group chat, right?
What's the group called?
What's the profile picture?
It's called the NOMES.
Why are you called the NOMES?
Because I forget.
No, okay, it's a bad reason you can't say it out now.
It's okay, yeah.
You forgot and that's okay, yeah.
And then it's someone, one of ours is his face as like a Disney villain, really big face over one, someone else's, like, someone's.
Sure.
Yeah, whatever.
Listen.
You've painted enough a picture for us to all imagine exactly what the picture looks like.
That's all we need to.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
AI is a fantastic thing.
Cool.
So, and so it's the no-mees.
How many other people in the group?
Eight, I think.
And has there been a splinter group to discuss horse chat?
Like they, we have discussed horse in, all together.
But then we've also discussed the ridiculousness away from them.
And how like, that's just a lot of money.
How much is it?
How much are we talking about for a horse?
Like 10, 12 grand.
That's an expensive horse.
Yeah.
I can go to this guy.
He'll strike you in,
Jason.
They were talking about...
I can own quit and it's a shy mate.
Yeah, they were talking about like
six grand and I was like,
that's too much money.
No, no, no, no, no.
There's no need for that.
All the people were like six grand horses are dodgy.
Excuse me.
You've got to go more.
Listen.
You've insulted his culture here.
Come on.
Four grand horse.
and as long as he lives near a roundabout
you'll never have to feed the thing
he's cars
are you thinking of pigeons
no no
stick a horse on a roundabout
you're in business everybody's happy
the council's happy the horse is happy
everybody gets joy
past a horse
wait so
so this guy's
lifelong dream is having a horse right
do you guys like
one of them yeah so do you guys
do the other people
people in the group chat, like, share their dreams?
No, no one else.
I yell hating on him, huh?
Because he had a goal, and you guys are rudderless.
Yeah.
James.
Very compelling argument.
James, I'm going to ask something maybe.
It's a very good point for, but it's a good point you made.
Are you not into sailing?
What's your dream?
What's my dream?
If it was like that kind of money, boats, way more of a better option.
I own a boat.
You'd go for a boat over horse.
over horse every day.
Okay.
Would you?
I'll tell you this now.
Horses never sank.
That's sadly not true.
Apart from a never-ending story, of course, remember that.
There's a lot of maintenance on a boat.
Okay.
Yeah, you've got to get it up in the winter months.
That's going to dry dog.
You can do that with your horse if you like.
Just don't put the video on social media.
All I'm telling you is you never have.
scrape a barnacle off a horse um yeah or just like buy my own home can i ask this guy do
have we worked out who the name is for the person who's buying a horse a cj is cj is cj the wealthiest person
in the whatsup group probably yeah right hmm and yet he can't afford names
She's going to
1980s
TV side kick
that's
CJ
yeah
so
flying a helicopter
around Hawaii
helping
help and solve
crimes
you're doing
fuck all
CJ
is
maybe it stands
for cool jockey
we just don't know
would you
so like
you've been friends
for a long time
but
do you think now
that this horse
has come into
it is no longer
a stable
relationship
anyway
sorry
Let that be struck for the record
How many horses have you seen on this group?
It was like daily.
Daily horses.
Yeah.
It's a TikTok channel that.
Is he bought a horse?
Yeah.
What's it called?
Oscar.
Oscar, the horse.
Yeah.
I'm giving it a posh name.
Yeah.
Okay.
Is this friend of yours like, he,
everyone else lives in London.
He's,
No, I'm the only one that lives...
You're only only one to live in one.
One of them moves between
and everyone else is in Cardiff.
Got you.
Would you say he's kind of lonely?
No, I don't think so.
Oh, okay.
You've got a horse for a fuck sake.
Well, yeah, I think that's why he bought.
Okay, well, hopefully that is enough information
for our teams to make their cases.
So without further ado,
I'm going to call upon Erica Eland.
Now you have a minute to begin the case
for the prosecution.
Your minute begins now.
I think you guys are haters on this.
man's horse you know he had he had direction he got the horse he did it you guys were like oh he
he did his goal and you hate him for it um but also like you know you guys got to get your
own type of horse you want a boat start you know start moving towards that boat the sea horse is
his name yeah also i think it's i think it's nice when like friends are like hey look at look like
You know, it's part of community building
is when someone tells you something
that they're excited about that you go,
even if you don't give a fuck about it,
you're like, hey, that's great.
It's no skin off your back.
You're just being like, you know what you could do?
One of these.
One of thumbs up.
That's bare minimum.
But then, you know, it's also,
there's eight of you, so just spread it out.
So I think, I think y'all are harsh on this man.
He has a horse.
He's a dork, obviously, you know?
But like, you know, allow him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's it.
That's my kid.
Okay. Strong opening case from Erica there. Andrew, you're going to open the case for the defence.
You have a minute and it starts now.
I'm against the horses. Is that right? Oh yeah.
Why? Why, CJ, would you spend an innumerable amount of money, which is undoubtedly your family's wealth by the likes of
going all the way back to the Battle of Hastings.
This is some Anglo-Norman activity right here.
Why on earth would you spend all your money on a horse?
When greyhounds exist.
They do the same thing.
They run around in circles
and lose your money in Walthamstone.
But on the upside,
You can cuddle a dog, not a greyhound.
It's like fucking, it's like hugging a xylophone.
It's horrible.
Horrible.
Horrible.
And they're thick as shit.
But what you can do is you can, you know,
it costs a lot less to drug a greyhound than a horse.
Okay.
Thank you, Andrew Maxwell, everybody.
Andrew Maxwell there.
Very compelling.
James.
All right.
How do you think it's going so far?
I don't know.
No, I don't know either.
Okay, well, Tom, you're up next.
Tom, now you are going to conclude the case for the prosecution.
Yes.
But are you going to do it as yourself?
No, I'm going to do it in the style of a deep safe defence lawyer from a John Grisham novel.
Although upsettingly, his concluding argument was going to be that it takes a lot less to drug a dog than a horse.
He's used that many times before.
It's very rare that it's
It's his usual defence
Yeah, that's right
I'm going to do in the style of that
Mr. Fanchor Standen
Thank you very much
Fanchurendon
Protiting and Providing and Providing
Your minute
Should you need it begins now
Ladies and gentlemen

but it's from that book
and it's that verse
Do not covet your neighbor's ox.
Now, y'all remember the story there
of my neighbor Jonathan Farmerdam there.
Jonathan Farmerdam, the name that just trips off the tongue.
Dutch, I believe, probably introduced the croissants to the bakery.
Now, y'all remember the day he arrived with his 10-ton ox?
Y'all never seen an ox ten-ton before.
Hell, my nine-ton ox won three medals year before last.
He arrives into town with the ten-ton ox.

Okay, well, Clarkie,
you're going to conclude the case for the defense.
Yeah, boy.
Okay, you remember you are on the side
of the side that Tom isn't.
Now, you've got a minute,
and your minute begins right now.
Well, I mean, come on.
Everyone here is thinking the same thing.
You don't want a horse.
There's nothing good about horses.
I mean, yes, their shoes are lucky.
They're good if you're really, really hungry.
But other than that, I was going to try and like shape my argument about a class thing about, you know, it's like, it's a rich person's thing.
But then you were like, I would buy a boat.
It was not great.
I was like, you know, normally that's for rich people.
Unless, of course, you're deacon blue.
So yes.
He has a horse named Oscar, but you have a boat named Dignity.
Oh, my God.
The defence rest.
Wow.
really enjoyed that
we can't be chucking out
deacon blue references
surely not
it's too up to date
it's a bit too new
it's going to scare away
all the teenagers
now
now listen
I hot dog
jumping frog
no no that's a
that's pre-fap sprout
um
clip it up
get it on the TikTok
guys
I'm afraid, I'm afraid to ask.
What a gig and blues thing?
They did a ship called dignity.
That was, that was the, that was the, that was the, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that was a moment.
Yeah.
Because I didn't know any of that.
Tell you what, it's still going on.
Right.
Now, I can't make the decision myself as I am a horse.
So instead, I'm going to ask our live Phoenix audience to decide.
So if you think that James and therefore Andrew Maxwell and Ben Clark,
are in the right, I would like you to applaud now.
But if you think Erica and Fanshaw...
If you think Erica and Fanshaw made the best case,
I would like you to applaud now.
Is it possible that no one wins?
Yes, by one furlough.
I'm afraid we're going to have to shoot the horse.
That's the end of that.
Yeah, nobody wins.
No points in that round.
Yes.
So, Gwyn, as we didn't do it last time,
what are the scores at the end of that round?
They're the same as before.
Same as before, same as before, okay.
So, one more.
It's nail-biting stuff at Flat Shetam down tonight.
It's high stakes.
One more round to go.
It's time for the next round,
as we'll be calling it after the edit,
round three.
One more round before we find out
Who will be installing the solar panel?
But first can the last one to leave turn out the light?
It's the quickfire round jingle.
This is the quick fire round round.
It's a round that goes really quickly.
Which is why it's all.
always quite confusing
that it has a long
introduction
what the heck
a very long introduction
in fact it's
much too long
it would be like
if something that was
really long
had a really
really short introduction
that's a great metaphor
that would be weird too
let's think of a few examples
it would be like
if Martin Scorsesey's the Irishman
had an introduction that just went
like this
here it is
the Irishman
also
expecting the axe
of something like that
mate
I haven't seen
the film
I'm guessing
the film
is about
someone from Ireland
who wants
to make
their way
in the mob
and so they
travel
to America
kind of
and joining
with the mob
anyway
all of that
would take about
six hours
and in the end
he'd learn that the mob
is a harsh life
and actually he should have stayed
home
Ooh, this makes me want to watch it.
And married his sweetheart.
Mary May.
Anyway, it's a bit like if that had a short introduction
or something cows really, really long like.
It's not easy to think of things that are really long.
Anyway, you get the gist.
It's time to get down to brass tacks.
Let's get on with the quick fire round.
It's something that's really short.
that has a long introduction
and here it is the quick fire round
Yes indeed
Yes indeed
This
We'll talk to Andrew about the accent later on
But this is the quick fire round
And as our show is all about solar panels
I'm going to ask our panellists to make a light switch
by switching the first letters of their answers.
So if the answer was Flatshare Slamdown,
you'd say Slatshare Flamdown.
Okay, so instead of buzzers,
I'd like you to shout out your full names
with the first letters flipped.
Ben, let's hear yours.
Neb.
No, that's not.
You've not.
You did your name backwards there.
That's not what we're asking for.
Your full name with the letters flipped.
Oh dear, Clark is going to struggle.
Clarkie's going to struggle.
Clarkie, you're really struggling here.
Your full name
with the first letters flipped around, okay?
Who's Anne?
I thought I'm switching by then Andrew's name.
But again, why would you name be Ann then?
Am?
Your full name, Clarkie.
It's going to be another one of,
another of those long rounds, guys.
Okay.
Send block.
Okay, yeah.
What's that not right?
Yeah, sort of.
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ken Black, yeah.
You're not going to win, Clarkie.
I'm sorry.
I just, I hate to ruin the game for everybody,
but there's absolutely no way that Clarkie,
when you struggle, it just say your name.
Okay.
I have to say, I feel like a horse strap.
to a ship right.
What we've got on our hands
is a sinking horse.
