Any other fans of the Goolhanger Podcast shows?

not watching yet but a big TRIP fan here 😁

DancingTurtle · 05/11/2024 20:08

There seemed to be some problems with the volume first thing, and the lighting's not great, but everyone looks very smart. (Bit weird for me, because normally I listen to every episode rather than watch).

@Spacecrispsnack just TRIP or any of the others?

OP posts:

I think Dominic is going to kill Scaramucci before the election is called.

Thanks for flag up, assume this is rest is history?

DancingTurtle · 05/11/2024 20:19

There's Alistair, Rory and Scaramucci from TRIP, Dominic from TRIH and Marina from TRIE.

Marina is holding her own really well I think. Alistair playing host very well so far.

(It's just me, isn't it?).

I will be, after Bake Off.

DancingTurtle · 05/11/2024 20:42

I'm not sure how well it's going. I wonder if there are too many people in the conversation at once? Would it be best to start off with the TRIP/TRIPUS hosts and then bring Marina or Dominic in for stints?
Rory looks absolutely knackered.

I'm in. Huge Marina fan and I do quite like the Mooch

Spacecrispsnack · 05/11/2024 20:43

Just TRIP but there’s definitely room in my life for more 😁

Runskiyoga · 05/11/2024 20:45

Love Mooch, Marina. Not watching because it's going to be a long night! But I will be looking forward to their commentary over the next few days.

BadForBusiness · 05/11/2024 20:47

Rory's just flown in from Australia to do 8 hours podcasting. I think he may regret this decision.

Half these people loathe and/or despise each other and Marina called Alistair a war criminal on her podcast a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to tune in when I wake up tomorrow to see if there's been bloodshed.

DancingTurtle · 05/11/2024 20:48

Marina called Alistair a war criminal on her podcast a couple of weeks ago.
Well remembered, although at the time I thought it was a bit tongue-in-cheek.

Dominic and Marina (like I know them!) doing very well. Am digging her blouse. Any guesses where it's from?

DancingTurtle · 05/11/2024 20:53

Dominic: "utter gibberish and tosh" Grin

Just been watching, really enjoying the blended panel. Would like to see more like this on big events.

EVHead · 05/11/2024 21:44

I love the Mooch but his anecdotes go on too long. I think Dominic and Marina might flop on the desk at some point, with exhaustion of the ears.

TickOrTeat · 05/11/2024 21:49

Love trip. Thanks for the reminder. I'd totally forgotten it's election day in the US!!

He's definitely quite a dominant person to have in a conversation.

He doesn't stop talking. 😮 but I guess it's only fair as he's the only American in the panel (isn't he??)..

On another note, can anyone believe that Rory Stewart was ever a tory? supported austerity, etc? I wonder sometimes what the uk would have looked like if he'd won the leadership election? For him, it's probably good he didn't. Being a conservative prime minister seems to bring out the ugly in all of them.

TickOrTeat · 05/11/2024 22:18

Oh no. Why does AC keep cutting off Marina? Super annoying. 🤐

NewspaperDoll · 05/11/2024 22:31

Started watching C4 coverage, they introduced Boris Johnson as a guest and I switched right over to TRIP. Cannot contemplate listening to BJ blathering on 🙄

BeatriceBatchelor · 05/11/2024 22:36

Just tuned in.

Alistair and Rory seem a bit tired. How long do they need to keep this up for?
